There's something incredibly powerful about choosing yourself—not from fear, not from old wounds, but from deep, grounded self-worth. And today's guest, KG, embodies that in every way.If you've read Authentic: Coming Home to Your True Self, you'll remember KG's story—where she was, what she was navigating, and the work we did together to help her see her patterns, her ego, and what was running the show beneath the surface. Back then, she was in a relationship, doing the deep work of untangling old beliefs about her worth, love, and what she thought she had to do to be chosen.Now? She's in a completely different chapter—single, standing fully in her worth, and having walked away from that relationship not because of drama, not because of a breaking point, but because she knew in her bones it was time.In this episode, KG shares what it was like to navigate the ending of that relationship with grace, respect, and clarity—without falling into old patterns of staying too long, doubting herself, or making herself smaller. We talk about what it really takes to exit something not because you're running, but because you're rooted in knowing what serves you.She didn't repeat her old cycles. She didn't let her ego convince her to stay out of fear, guilt, or obligation. Instead, she leaned into everything we worked through—noticing the beliefs, challenging the narratives, and leading herself from truth rather than survival.This is the kind of conversation that reminds us what's possible when we do the real work—when we stop settling, when we stop making ourselves wrong for wanting more, and when we stand in the deep knowing that our worth isn't up for debate.KG's story is one of courage, self-respect, and radical ownership—and I can't wait for you to hear it. Let's dive in.Support the show

She is a woman with no shortage of these life moments – from growing up in a small, Catholic town in Wisconsin with a mom who spent 12 years in a convent, to discovering she was in love with a woman to getting diagnosed with cancer, to adopting a son with sickle cell disease, to having her first natural birth at 44, to navigating a second divorce– and beyond. Many might experience some of these events in their lifetime, but few have experienced them all in one.    Thank you to our sponsors: First5 Workshop: https://ambershaw.samcart.com/products/first5   Find more from Sarah Schmidt: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@wholeyschmidt  Instagram: @wholeyschmidt Podcast: Wholey Schmidt on Apple and Spotify   Find more from Amber: Instagram: @msambershaw TikTok: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com    What We Discuss: 03:01 The Power of Resilience: A Mother's Inspiration 05:55 Insights on Co-Parenting 09:10 Emotional Intelligence: The Importance of Vulnerability 14:58 The Path to Clarity 18:00 Creating Space for Self-Discovery 21:05 Aligning with Your True Self 26:37 Understanding Anger and Its Roots 28:02 Rediscovering Purpose in Midlife 29:30 The Importance of Self-Compassion 43:00 Rebuilding a Positive Body Image 44:58 Connecting with Your Inner Child   Key Takeaways:   Let go of what no longer serves you, build resilience through facing adversity, and find renewed purpose at any stage of life.  Sit with your feelings, develop self-compassion, connect with your inner child, and surround yourself with supportive people. Take cues from inspiring role models, establish a consistent exercise routine, focus on your desire to succeed rather than fear of failure, and view setbacks as learning opportunities.  

When we practice meditation, what do we hope will change? In our own way, each of us is seeking liberation. Join us in this episode as we listen in on the profound insights of Robert Rabbin, author of "The Sacred Hub: Living in the Shimmering Light of Your True Self". In this excerpt from his inspiring audiobook, Robert shares his thoughts on the transformative power of meditation. He explores the profound shifts within us as we cultivate a deepening awareness through this practice—how the restless chatter of our minds gradually subsides, paving the way for peace to flourish.

Hey Friends~  Walking the road of parenting is hard.  It is filled with joy and struggles.  We are okay to feel the way we feel.  No matter what you feel about it.   Learning to let go of negative judgment and condemning thoughts about our feelings  is critical to be authentically yourself.  Parents are often  able to do this with their kids,  but continue to struggle to be so kind to themselves.   If this is you, you will LOVE today's Episode with Susanna Peace Lovell, author of Your True Self is Enough.     Susanna's daughter wrote in the forward of the book,  “Learn to understand your child rather than make them do what you think is normal.”   When you learn from your child who they are, instead of trying to create them to be who we want them to be, we free ourselves to do the same for ourselves.  You will be glad you tuned in to this encouraging and authentic episode.

What do you *actually* want? What is the line between who you are and who the world tells you you have to be? If we really want to connect with our manifestations in 2025, it's time to start asking the heavy-hitting questions. And that's exactly what we're doing in this week's episode with, Lacy, Jessica, and Janelle. Together, they break down the meaning, power, and path toward embracing Authenticity. They explore why living in alignment with your true self isn't just a buzzword but a fundamental, essential aspect of manifestation. Through candid stories and practical insights, they uncover how staying true to who you really are removes barriers to manifestation, amplifies self-worth, and makes you magnetic to your deepest desires. Lacy also shares the intense emotions that can present themselves when you finally call in everything you've ever wanted. The only reason TBM exists is to help you do this for yourself. To support you in your journey of becoming and embracing all that you are and all that you deserve.

Danielle sat down with bestselling author, life coach, and speaker Martha Beck to talk about anxiety, what it is, and how to channel the energy behind anxiety into creativity so that you can live your higher purpose.  Martha Beck shares:  The meaning of true nature, and how to get to know yours  The difference between fear and anxiety  How to identify an anxiety spiral, and what to do about it  How creativity can silence anxiety  The psychology of living your purpose  About Martha Beck:  Martha Beck is a bestselling author, life coach, and speaker. She has spent a lifetime offering powerful, practical, and entertaining teachings that help people improve every aspect of their lives. She holds three Harvard degrees in social science, and Oprah Winfrey has called her “one of the smartest women I know.” Martha is a passionate and engaging speaker, known for her unique combination of science, humor, and spirituality. For over two decades she has been, in the words of NPR and USA Today, “the best-known life coach in America.” Her published works include over 150 magazine articles and several self help books and memoirs, including New York Times and international bestsellers Finding Your Own North Star, The Joy Diet, and Expecting Adam. Her recent book, The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self, was an instant New York Times Best Seller and Oprah's Book Club selection. Martha's next book, Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life's Purpose, is expected in early 2025.

At the height of her worldly and academic success garnering three Harvard degrees, Martha Beck received life altering news, and discovered that maybe she didn't know everything. This set off a lifetime of pursuing ways to soothe her nervous system from anxiety and find freedom in a new purpose. In a world where anxiety seems to be spiraling out of control, Martha offers a revolutionary approach to understanding and befriending anxiety. Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience and her years of experience coaching people through what she calls the “Change Cycle,” Martha shares: The four phases of the “Change Cycle” Why anxiety is on the rise and how it's affecting us all The unexpected connection between anxiety and creativity How to access your own creative genius You're also not going to want to miss Jen and Amy's discussions before the interview on embracing the mantra “it's never too late” and Jen's incurable attachment to an ancient email address. * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: "Hold it [stability] very lightly. Let it go. Because everything is always moving and changing." - Dr. Martha Beck "If you try to speed yourself through the process of letting go, of grieving your losses, of at least giving a really deep, profound, heartfelt farewell to the life you used to have — if you don't go through that process, nothing good is going to come of it. You're going to end up in lifelong therapy." Dr. Martha Beck “There is a sensation deeper than the mind, more profound than anything we could think, and in some ways, far more powerful than emotion. It is a kind of stillness, a connection. I believe that this is what consciousness is. It behaves this way when it is neither us nor a substance. It is a vibrantly alive stillness that pervades the universe, however many there are. And we are part of it; we are indistinguishable from it.” - Dr. Martha Beck "The first step to getting out of anxiety is to recognize that an anxious brain is not a broken machine--it's a frightened animal." - Dr. Martha Beck “The moment you move into a place of compassion, you use your brain very differently than when you're in an anxiety spiral. This shift frees you to pull your attention away from the anxiety and begin being loving with yourself.” - Dr. Martha Beck "You were born a creative genius. Your mind is so capable of solving the problems that make you anxious, but only if you free that genius. And anxiety keeps it caged." - Dr. Martha Beck Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Becks Monthly O Magazine Column - https://www.oprah.com/spirit/martha-beck/all Bewildered Podcast with Dr. Martha Beck & Rowan Mangan - https://bit.ly/3zkyic2 The Gathering Room Podcast with Dr. Martha Beck - https://bit.ly/3XquFsV The Way of Integrity Finding the Path to Your True Self - https://bit.ly/3ziwm3F Nisargadatta Maharaj - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisargadatta_Maharaj NASA's Creative Genius Study - https://bit.ly/4dSoFAl Wildr App - https://apps.apple.com/my/app/wildr/id1604130204 Guest's Links: Dr. Beck's Website: https://marthabeck.com Dr. Beck's Wayfinder Life Coach Training: https://marthabeck.com/life-coach-training/ Dr. Beck's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themarthabeck/ Dr. Beck's upcoming book: https://marthabeck.com/beyond-anxiety/ Courses & Retreats with Dr. Beck: https://marthabeck.com/courses-training/ Connect with Jen!

This is such a common question, especially in our community. Relationships are ALREADY full of murky divisions of labor and then throw in all the extra tasks that come with a disabled child and it doesn't usually get easier to negotiate. Luckily, we have a well qualified team to handle this question. As always we pour compassion on our questioner and offer strategies to tackle the problem. Thank you so much for listening and calling in with your questions.

BUT it doesn't have to feel that way and the community and sisterhood that comes with sharing and holding space for those emotions is so worth facing your own. There are so many wisdom gems, AHA moments and tools in this episode for helping us deconstruct the emotions we feel when in the presence of other people's pain. Please enjoy this important episode of Ask Us Anything. Whether you have questions as a parent to a child with complex medical or mental health needs or you're someone looking to support a care-giving parent, we would LOVE to hear from you. If you have any topic requests or if you would like to ask a question, leave us a message here.Find more information about Licensed Psychotherapist, Dr. Zoe Shaw here. Find more information about Life Coach, Susanna Peace Lovell here.Find Susanna's book, Your True Self is Enough here.Brave Together is the podcast for We are Brave Together, a not-for-profit organization based in the USA.

I always love the opportunity to talk with a parent and hear their story. I feel it really provides an opportunity for learning and growth as a provider. Susanna Peace Lovell, a professional life coach and advocate, joins me to discuss her journey as a parent of a child with autism and her book on the topic, Your True Self is Enough: Lessons Learned on My Journey Parenting a Child with Autism.In her book Your True Self is Enough, Susanna shares her story of being of support and service to parents and families with similar stories. This journey begins at the birth of her first child, Arizona. The difficulties began right away with food allergies and skin issues, and the diagnosis and challenges just kept coming. Susana says that her daughter cried for what felt like nonstop for the entirety of her first 18 months of life. At age 2.5, Arizona was diagnosed with ASD. This was nearly 16 years ago, and for Susanna, this was a challenging and unfamiliar experience. You can find out more about Susanna's journey in her book, which she describes as part memoir, part guidebook, where she finds a balance between honoring her child's experience while also honoring her own journey and voice. Her daughter, Arizona, wrote the foreword and inspired the title.If you have this feeling that something is different, Susanna says to stay in tune with that feeling, which she calls the “Caregiver Gut." Write everything down; no detail is too little. She reminds us that being an advocate for your child requires tenacity and a help seeking mentality. The doors can be opened just a little bit more when you're vulnerable to those who can help.#autism #speectherapyWhat's Inside:A Parent's Autism StoryNavigating honoring your child's experience and your experience as the caregiverWhat to do when you're facing challenges with your child and suspect developmental delays?Mentioned In This Episode:Susanna Peace LovellYour True Self Is Enough: Lessons Learned on My Journey Parenting a Child with Autism by Susanna Peace LovellGet our Ethics Course about SLP/BCBA Collaboration in the ABA SPEECH ConnectionRose Griffin (@abaspeechbyrose) on Instagram
