Food is supposed to sustain us—but when you're chronically ill, even the act of eating can feel like an uphill battle. I've lived with chronic back pain for 21 years, and I know firsthand how pain, fatigue, and unpredictable symptoms can completely reshape your relationship with food. In this solo episode, I'm diving into the emotional, physical, and psychological toll of eating while managing chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, POTS, PCOS, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The mental and emotional weight of food decisions, social pressure, and grief around eating is very real. When food becomes linked with pain, restriction, or a way of coping, disordered eating patterns can easily take hold—often without us even realizing it. That's why it's so important to understand your needs and ask for accommodations. Asking for help is not a weakness—it's a deeply necessary act of care in a world that often misunderstands chronic illness. If you've ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted by the effort it takes to nourish yourself, this episode is for you. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT... How chronic illness can make eating physically and emotionally challenging—from symptoms like nausea and pain to fatigue and side effects from medication. The mental and emotional toll of food decisions, social pressure, and grief around eating is very real. How disordered eating patterns can develop when food becomes linked with pain, restriction, or coping. How flexibility, self-compassion, and doing what works for your body are key. How my personal experience living with chronic back pain for 21 years and how it affected my relationship with food.

This is a special replay of an episode of the REJUVENAGING with Dr. Ron Kaiser podcast that was first posted on March 7th, 2023.Oftentimes, listening to the news can be difficult. Between wars, famines, climate change, and inequality (to name a few), happenings of the world can start to seem like a never-ending cycle of unfortunate events. It can be deflating to think this way and discouraging to feel like there's nothing that you can do about it. However, you have more power and influence than you may think, and the spark to light the flame of change could be as simple as… being compassionate.My guest on today's episode, Dr. Rick Hanson, is a psychologist, Senior Fellow of UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, and New York Times best-selling author. His latest book, Making Great Relationships, offers practical guidance for developing a positive mindset and improving relationships.

What would you do differently if you were 100% confident in your skills?In today's episode, I'm talking about why every female entrepreneur should turn building self-confidence into one of their top priorities. One of the most disempowering, stagnating, and corrosive traits we can nurture as entrepreneurs is a lack of self-confidence. Finding potentially hazardous situations and getting our senses aware of the possible dangers around us is our brain's job; we can't blame it for doing what is supposed to be doing. But in entrepreneurship, that might translate into delaying the launch of a new product, or avoiding reaching out to social media followers fearing something terrible would happen if we fail.So it is about finding the sweet spot. Yes, we thank our protective brain for keeping us alive. Yet, we politely ask it to restrain itself from making business decisions.Throughout this episode, you'll learn about the subtle differences between self-confidence and confidence, and how to nurture and train them efficiently. You'll also hear about how fear of failure and self-doubt interfere with your progress, how to transform the way you see each one of your failed attempts at doing something new, and much more.Tune in to episode 158 of Unstoppable Female Entrepreneurs and discover how acting boldly and trusting your skills (even when you fail) are the things that will take you and your business to the next level.In This Episode, You Will Learn:About the differences between building self-confidence and being confident (4:13)What would happen if we stop to look fear in the face (6:01)Perfectionism is an excuse; it is only keeping you paralyzed (9:13)How to create self-confidence (13:52)Why you should take time to celebrate your achievements (even the smallest one) (15:05)Let's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTube5 Keys To Breaking the $10K Code Free TrainingWellness Entrepreneur MastermindIntuitive Marketing Membership Hosted on Acast.

What first thought comes to mind whenever you feel stuck in your entrepreneurial journey?In this episode, I'm talking about a feeling most entrepreneurs experience at least once (or dozens of times): the overwhelming sensation of being stagnant or stuck. To our brains, what is known and familiar is safe, so as long as things are constant and predictable, no alarms are set off. Yet, in entrepreneurial terms, when sales remain steady, it doesn't mean safety; it means the company is not growing. That is why every time we start thinking about entering unknown places, like new marketing strategies, adding new products, or creating new courses, our brains freak out and use their best arguments to convince us that it is too risky, that we might lose everything if we fail, or that we are not "that" good anyway to aspire for exponential growth. Throughout this episode, I invite you to join me as I explore the science behind why we feel overwhelmed and stuck and what we can do to navigate that feeling.

Though right-wing talking heads try to manipulate suicide rate statistics, the data proves that the number one cause of self-harm and destructive behavior in the LGBTQ+ community is a lack of family acceptance. Kids who come out as transgender are not confused, are not in a phase, are not following a fad, and are not trying to rebel against their parents. From conversion efforts to more subtle forms of non-affirming communication, there is no question that the damage done can be significant and can often be avoided with a little education and effort. LGBTQ+ kids need and deserve our respect, support, and love. In this episode, we talk about what to do and say, as well as what not to do and say when your child (or any child) trusts you enough to come out as transgender, at any age. You'll hear about the critical importance of family and community acceptance, statistics that show how destructive the lack of support can be for transgender youth, and how some of the most well-intended questions can cause deep wounds for trans kids. We also discuss the mistakes Bridget made when Jackie came out and the challenges they faced. We learn ways to support transgender kids, support and respect their privacy, the ways to ensure affirming care for them, and much more In This Episode, You Will Learn:About how Jackie's story began six and a half years ago (3:30)What statistics teach us about self-harm and destructive behaviors in the LGBTQ+ community (6:00)Why family acceptance is crucial (11:00)Being trans is definitely not a phase or a way of being rebellious (17:00)Jackie shares tips and ideas to grant affirming care for trans kids (24:00)What do our trans kids really need from us (28:00)Resources:Family Acceptance Project - San Francisco State UniversityWhat to Do When Your Kid Comes Out as Transgender by Bridget Sampson on MediumConnect with Jackie and Bridget:Transgender Support: Becoming a True Ally Video Course on VimeoTransgender School Patreon Membership with all exclusive contentTransgender School on MediumInstagramWebsite FacebookCommunity Facebook GroupYouTube Hosted on Acast.

How tuned are you with your business's potential to transform your and your clients' lives? In today's episode, I'm talking about the things you must have clarity on to start seeing your business as what it is: a lives-transforming machine.

When was the last time you took a week off from your business? No emails, no texts, nothing, complete isolation from it. In today's episode, I'm talking about the transformative benefits of stepping away from our business, which I recently learned after a health issue forced me to step back from my business' daily operations for a few days. Entrepreneurship is as demanding as it is fulfilling and requires maximum effort almost all the time; that's why rest is massively essential.

Are you staying late at the office several days a week and still can't see any growth or significant improvement?In today's episode, I'm talking about the consistency, focus, and commitment to the long game entrepreneurship requires. A recent health-related setback pushed me back to the gym, and while working out, I realized how much getting fit and running a business have in common. In business and fitness, results only come if we give our best, but without exaggerating: a tired muscle doesn't grow, and a tired mind makes poor choices. Also, consistent small efforts in business and at the gym produce more results than sporadic killer workouts, and the list goes on. Throughout this episode, you'll hear what I've learned from returning to the gym and putting my health in order, the power of consistency and commitment, and the magical results you can get from getting excited in front of every struggle instead of shying away from it.

Although the Latino community in Fresno, California, plays a central role in the world's biggest economic force, agriculture, the economic disparities between them and other communities are massive.
