When was the last time you looked back and thought, “If only I knew this earlier”? In this episode, Jay shares the seven life-changing lessons he wishes he’d learned in his teens and twenties—insights that could have reshaped his relationships, career, peace of mind, and sense of purpose. These aren’t just reflections; they’re powerful revelations most of us only discover through struggle, heartbreak, or burnout. Jay dives into what it truly means to speak with intention, to know when it’s time to let go, and to stop outsourcing your self-worth. From learning to stay quiet in a world that rewards noise to realizing that boundaries are an act of self-love—each lesson is a powerful reminder that growth isn’t always about adding more, but about releasing what no longer serves you. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why Saying Less Makes Your Words Matter More. Knowing When It’s Time to Walk Away Why You Should Talk To People, Not About Them. What Stress Reveals About a Person’s True Nature. How to Raise Your Standards Without Guilt. Why Some People Miss the Old You (for the Wrong Reasons). How to Stop Absorbing Others' Emotions and Expectations. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, overlooked, or overwhelmed. Jay reminds you that you don’t get what you deserve — you get what you accept. And that sometimes the most powerful transformation happens when you choose peace over performance, presence over perfection, and truth over approval.

When we hear the word “codependent,” we often picture someone clinging to toxic relationships or constantly rescuing others.  But the brilliant psychotherapist and boundary expert Terri Cole challenges this idea, revealing how capable, competent, and successful people can struggle with codependent patterns too,  just hidden under the mask of over-functioning and over-investing in people's lives.  Doing it all? That's the problem. In this episode, Terri shares how our deep desire for peace and control can drive us to do too much for others—emotionally, mentally, and physically— even at the cost of our own well-being. This conversation is a loving nudge to pause and ask:  “What am I doing for others that they could be doing for themselves?” We explore how stepping out of this “handle-it-all” mindset isn't just freeing—it's life-changing.  Tune in to this episode to learn to overcome high-functioning codependence and find ease, joy, fun, balance, and healthier relationships in your life! Terri Cole Terri Cole is a licensed psychotherapist and global relationship and empowerment expert. She's the author of the books Boundary Boss and Too Much. For over 20 years, Terri has worked with a diverse group of clients–  from stay-at-home moms to celebrities and Fortune 500 CEOs. She makes complex psychological concepts accessible and actionable so the people she works with can achieve sustainable change.  IN THIS EPISODE Understanding the term “high-functioning codependency” Physical manifestations of being a high-functioning codependent  Helpful ways to set and maintain boundaries with others  Addressing resentment in a relationship  Why burnout is common among high-functioning codependents  Letting go of intervening to “help” others & focusing on yourself QUOTES “You see it as well, that high functioning codependence. We give too many F's for too long about all the things and all the people… and perfectionism and making sure everything gets done.” “There are ways we can help children and people we love find their own answers without therapizing them. But giving them our answers is not loving. It's treating people as projects.” “When you spend decades of your life checking boxes that someone else constructed, you end up with this existential crisis of loneliness– like, ‘wow, people do not know ME'.”  RESOURCES MENTIONED Get The HFC Toolkit:  Simplify & Do Less video lesson with integrative exercises & meditations  Terri's Website Order Terri's Book Too Much HERE  High-quality olive oil: go to www.getfreshenergized.com to get your free $39 bottle for just $1 shipping.

About 60% of women in perimenopause report "not feeling like themselves". And it's more than just mood swings—it's about energy, memory, motivation, passion for life, intimacy, and so much more.  That's why in this week's powerful episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Dr. Kelly Casperson to dive into the often-overlooked role of hormones—especially testosterone—in women's health during perimenopause and beyond. We'll talk about midlife hormone changes impacting your romantic life, and why hormone therapy is such an essential (and safe!) conversation for you to have with your doctor.  If you're ready to feel passionate about your life again, reclaim your energy, and advocate for your long-term health, this is an episode you cannot miss. Dr. Kelly's insights are practical and empowering for any woman navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply feeling a little lost in her own body.

And 70% of women, they need, they need clitoral stimulation to make that happen.” “A big thing about sex– number one and two about sex is you have to feel safe and you have to not be stressed.” “They're like, ‘so is your goal to get every woman on hormones?'

What is the recipe for developing deeper, more intimate relationships?  Breaking this all down in his new book, The Mindful Path to Intimacy, is couples therapist Dr. James Cordova, who talks to Yael about how true intimacy happens when vulnerability is met with warmth and acceptance and feeling safe being your real self with someone.  You'll hear some eye-opening research, including his “relationship checkup” method and how marriage therapy has evolved to focus on both behavior and acceptance.  If you are looking for ways to strengthen your relationship emotionally and physically—such as staying mindful, paying attention to one another, sexual intimacy, and making check-ins a regular habit—James has some extremely practical suggestions for you! Listen and Learn:  The true meaning of intimacy Balancing change and acceptance in relationships How can we stay open and kind when we hear something we don't want to? How mindfulness can transform intimacy The power of vulnerability and compassion in the face of conflict and how understanding your partner leads to a deeper connection Why our ancient instincts for self-protection clash with modern relationship needs How relational flexibility can transform your relationships How do daily hurts and unaddressed issues lead to distance in your relationship? The role "marital checkups" play in keeping intimacy alive and preventing relationship drift Why is sexual intimacy such a vulnerability trigger in relationships, and how can you address it?

After my baby was gone that glass made me feel ill just looking at it. I wanted to smash it on the floor, run away from it and simultaneously enshrine it as a tiny memory with her - but it was wrapped in in SO MUCH PAIN.The triggers come from the pain, this ache, this desire and longing for our baby, but pop up at the LEAST convenient time.When you just want to drink a coffee and put on some pants in PEACE!!!I found that talking about the triggers in therapy, writing about them, thinking about how I could fix them logically, did not help.There's a direct line to the triggers, and it's in a place you can tap into -in the moment - to come back to your center too: the body.After I learned how to do this, I was able to drink coffee again, see pregnant bellies, even go to the gynecologist, without panic attacks and falling down on the ground in a bundle of tears.I'm going to show you how I do this in Taming TFMR Triggers, a workshop I am putting together for you and holding LIVE on Monday, February 10th.Here's the link again to sign upwww.thetfmrdoula.com/triggers ($11 USD) live or catch the replay after Feb. 10th‌….And if you would like to shareyour TFMR Story on "Our TFMR Stories," email me here to find out more: sabrina at theTFMRdoula dot comAnd for more support follow atwww.instagram.com/thetfmrdoulaMusic clip:Pamgaea by Kevin MacLeodLink:https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4193-pamgaeaLicense:http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Financial Confidence for Microschool Founders – Funding, Pricing, and Policies to Support Your Vision In this episode of Teacher Let Your Light Shine, we're tackling the big questions every aspiring microschool founder has around funding, pricing, compensation, and policy setting. As you prepare to start or grow your microschool, financial confidence can make all the difference. From exploring creative funding options to setting policies that protect your budget, we're here to help you turn those question marks into a solid plan. If you're dreaming of launching your microschool in 2025, now is the time to get clear on the steps ahead. Ready to move from scarcity to abundance, and from hesitation to action? Tune in and discover the path to building a financially strong and purpose-driven microschool! Episode Highlights: Creative Funding for Your Microschool: Exploring Fractional Ownership Feeling overwhelmed by the need to secure funding? Fractional ownership might just be the solution. We'll dive into how fractional ownership works, its pros and cons, and if it could be a viable funding vehicle for your microschool. Wondering if there are other ways to raise funds besides tuition? We've got some creative ideas that will inspire you. Sole Proprietorship vs. Non-Profit: Which Structure Is Right for You? Choosing the right structure is one of the biggest decisions for new microschool founders. Should you go for a sole proprietorship, non-profit, or something else? We'll break down each option, covering both the benefits and challenges so you can find the right fit for your mission. Want clarity on what structure aligns with your vision? Let's explore the options. Pricing Strategies for Part-Time and Specials Classes Setting prices for specialized classes like art, Spanish, or PE can feel challenging, but it's essential to charge in a way that reflects the value of your offerings. We'll discuss how to create a pricing structure that's both financially sustainable and honors your expertise. Ever feel hesitant to charge what your classes are worth? This is your reminder to recognize your value. Handling Sick Days and Tuition Policies with Clarity and Compassion It's tough to enforce a no-refund policy when students miss school, but having clear policies helps protect your financial stability. We'll share tips on how to communicate these policies with empathy, while keeping firm boundaries. Struggling to balance fairness with financial security? We'll walk you through ways to stay clear and compassionate. Compensating Staff: Salaried vs. Hourly, and Providing Family Benefits Deciding how to pay your staff—salaried or hourly—can affect your budget and the overall culture of your school. We'll talk through options for compensation, whether or not to pay during breaks, and ways to support staff with family discounts or tuition-free options for their children. Curious how to build a compensation model that's both fair and feasible? Listen in to learn more. Why the End of the Year is Key for Your Microschool Planning As we approach the end of the year, this is the perfect time to plan for a financially abundant 2025.
