You handle the responsibilities. Keep the commitments. Consider everybody else's needs. But when it comes to something you want?Suddenly, everything is negotiable.We're talking about how easy it is to become optional in your own life—not because you stopped caring about yourself, but because somewhere along the way, you stopped being intentional about including yourself.I'm sharing how I protected my sense of self as a single mom through seemingly small things and intentionally making room for the woman underneath all my responsibilities. Because those things weren't just self-care. They were reminders: I'm still here.We'll also get into why women become so good at talking themselves out of what they want, how constantly putting yourself last can make it harder to even know what you want anymore, and why your wants aren't selfish or frivolous—they're information.Because you don't have to get everything you want.But you do deserve to remain part of the conversation.WE'RE GETTING INTO:How constantly putting yourself last becomes an automatic patternWhy you may tell yourself “no” before anyone else gets the chanceWhy your wants, preferences, and desires matterHow motherhood, caregiving, responsibility, and busy seasons can disconnect you from yourselfHow intentional choices help you reconnect with yourselfTIMESTAMPS:00:00 When You Become Optional02:05 Meet the Negotiators04:16 Life Gets Loud06:55 Identity of Needing Little08:26 We Need New Management12:32 Time Is Decided15:21 Wants Are Information17:54 Put Yourself Back In22:29 Later Is Not Identity24:55 Last Note of EncouragementTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP REMIXStep 1 — Consider Yourself: Ask yourself: Where have I become optional in my own life?Step 2 — Be Intentional: Choose one place to become intentional again.Step 3 — YOU Step: Get quiet and ask yourself: What's the next aligned step for me?GET YOUR MCE JOURNAL PROMPTSIf you're realizing it's been a minute since you really asked yourself What do I want?

You're struggling to get something done and you're trying not to beat yourself up but the longer it takes, the more you wonder if giving yourself grace has turned into another excuse. However, the problem isn't giving yourself grace. Beating yourself up makes it harder to make supportive, intentional choices. So, grace is a critical first step toward taking action but you will feel stuck if you stop there. The next steps are restoring connection to context, capacity, and choice — not from applying more pressure. In this episode, I'll walk you through the why and what of each of these steps. Some of what I cover is:What grace actually is, and where it turns into an excuseWhy punitive self-talk feels like the only way to motivate yourselfHow "I am" statements turn a pattern into an identityA step-by-step process for moving forward without beating yourself up LINKS FROM THE EPISODE:What's Killing My Motivation?

What if avoiding your money does not actually look like avoiding your bank account?You can make six figures, own a home, contribute to your 401k, take vacations, and still have parts of your financial life that you do not want to look at.

What if self-love isn't something you need to learn, but something you need to remember?In this solo episode, I explore why so many women struggle to love themselves, even after years of affirmations, healing work and personal development.We're taught from an early age that love has to be earned by being good, performing, achieving, looking a certain way or being chosen. Over time, that conditioning can disconnect you from the truth of who you are and leave you searching outside yourself for love, worthiness and enoughness.This conversation is about coming back home to yourself, learning to recognize when your saboteur is leading, and building a relationship with the inner compass that already knows the way.In This Episode We Explore:Why self-love can feel so difficultHow we learn to associate love with performanceThe difference between seeking love and living from loveWhy external validation is never enoughHow honoring your yeses and noes builds self-trustWhat it means to become a loving observer of yourselfHow your inner compass brings you back homeYour Practice for This Week:Become curious about what part of you is making your choices.When you notice yourself judging, punishing, comparing or abandoning yourself, pause instead of adding another layer of criticism.Website: https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/About the Host:Kate Harlow is the founder of The Unscriptd Woman, the creator of The Expanded Love Coaching Method, and host of The New Truth podcast - ranked in the top 1.5% globally.

How do you know when God is asking you to hold on… and when He's asking you to let go?Pastor and coach Anita Albert-Watson is here to chat about faith, spiritual abuse, discernment, and what it looks like to trust God when something just doesn't feel right.After watching Death of a Pastor's Wife, Anita and I unpack what we saw through her perspective as both an ordained pastor and a pastor's wife. From the red flags of unhealthy church leadership to what happens when scripture and spiritual authority are used to manipulate instead of guide, Anita has a lot to share.But this chat goes far beyond one documentary... We're talking about the moments when you know something needs to change but you're afraid that letting go means you're giving up. Anita shares her own experience of stepping away from ministry, finding a new assignment, and learning that leaving one season behind doesn't necessarily mean leaving your calling behind. We're chatting about:How to recognize spiritual abuse and unhealthy church leadershipWhy spiritual authority should always come with accountabilityThe difference between trusting a pastor and knowing scripture for yourselfHow to strengthen your discernment when something feels wrongKnowing when God may be releasing you from one assignment and leading you toward anotherHow to hear God when you're in a season of transition and don't know what comes nextIf you've experienced church hurt, questioned whether you can trust your own discernment, or found yourself wondering whether God is asking you to stay, leave, or simply take the next step, this chat is for you.

What does it mean to become better—and better for what?In this episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex Van Houten sits down with builder, entrepreneur, and fitness advocate Brock Holyoak for a conversation about action, discipline, fear, fitness, personal responsibility, and becoming more capable.Brock has a strong bias toward action: stop waiting until you know everything, start with what you have, learn by doing, and allow experience to shape you along the way. From building construction companies to training his body and developing his own fitness philosophy, his message is simple: most people already know enough to begin. The problem is that they often substitute consuming information for taking action.That creates some valuable questions for anyone who has spent too much time researching the perfect workout, diet, business strategy, or next step while doing very little with what they already know.But this conversation also exposes a deeper question at the heart of Faithful Fitness:What is all that improvement for?Strength is useful. Discipline is useful. Confidence is useful. Competence is useful. Becoming capable of doing difficult things is good.But none of those things can determine what deserves our devotion.Throughout the episode, Alex and Brock discuss:Why action often teaches what information cannotThe danger of waiting until you have every piece before you start buildingHow fitness can build competence and confidenceThe difference between perseverance and stubbornnessWhy fear often becomes smaller once you actually confront itThe importance of keeping promises to yourselfHow difficult physical challenges can expand your sense of what you're capable ofWhy passion and desire can create tremendous driveThe limitations of making “the best version of yourself” the ultimate goalFor the Christian, self-improvement is not the destination. It is a tool.Your body, health, strength, time, abilities, and opportunities have been entrusted to you by God. The goal isn't merely to become stronger, tougher, leaner, richer, or more impressive. The goal is to become increasingly capable of faithfully using what God has given you for His glory and the good of the people around you.So perhaps the question isn't simply:Am I getting better?Perhaps the better question is:Am I becoming more faithful?If you already know the next healthy step you need to take, take it. Go for the walk. Lift the weight. Prepare the meal. Get to bed. Make the change.You probably don't need the whole map before you begin.But as you become more capable, keep asking where that capability is ultimately pointed.Want to understand where you currently stand in your own health and stewardship?Take the Faithful Fitness Assessment and evaluate yourself across the four foundations of Integrity, Grit, Growth, and Awe.Start here: https://faithfulfitness.co/assessmentMake the most of the body God's given you.Train hard—but pray harder.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support.

You know what you want to do.Then five minutes later, you're asking three people what they think, running it through ChatGPT again, second-guessing the decision, and trying to find some kind of guarantee that you're making the “right” choice.That's the pattern we're talking about in this episode.I'm joined by Rosie Milsom, Self-Worth & Success Coach and host of the Self-Worth School podcast, for a conversation about self-worth, self-trust, and why so many women have learned to trust outside opinions more than their own voice.Rosie shares how her own journey through infertility, IVF, personal development, and eventually coaching led her to recognize something she kept seeing again and again. Underneath so many of the things keeping women stuck was the belief that they weren't good enough.And that belief doesn't always look obvious.Sometimes it looks like asking everyone else what they think before you make a decision.Sometimes it looks like overthinking something you already know.Sometimes it looks like waiting for certainty before you move.Sometimes it even looks like using AI, coaches, friends, or family to make a decision that deep down, you already know how to make.We talk about why self-trust isn't about always getting it right. It's knowing that even if you make the wrong decision, you can handle what happens next.Rosie also shares why every time you ignore your intuition and look outside yourself for confirmation, you reinforce the belief that your own voice can't be trusted.That's where the loop begins.And breaking it starts with choosing yourself again.In this episode, we talk about:Why so many women struggle with feeling good enoughHow childhood experiences and social conditioning shape self-worthWhy knowing what you want isn't the same as trusting yourself enough to act on itThe ways women unknowingly outsource their decisionsHow overthinking can become an attempt to create certaintyWhy certainty isn't required before taking actionThe connection between self-worth and self-trustHow ignoring your intuition weakens your trust in yourselfWhy following through builds confidenceUsing mistakes as information instead of evidence against yourselfHow optimism can be learned and strengthenedWhat it really means to become an Unblocked WomanA line to sit with:“Self-trust is a choice. It's a choice that you have to make over and over again.”Every time you follow through, keep your word to yourself, or choose your own voice over someone else's opinion, you're building your self-trust.One decision at a time.About Rosie MilsomRosie Milsom is a Self-Worth & Success Coach and host of the Self-Worth School podcast. She helps purpose-led women stop second-guessing themselves, trust their own voice, and take the actions that move their lives and businesses forward.Combining neuroscience, psychology, and practical coaching, Rosie is passionate about helping women bridge the gap between knowing what to do and having the self-worth to actually do it.Connect with RosieInstagram: @rosie_milsom_coachinghttps://www.instagram.com/rosie_milsom_coaching/Website: www.rosiemilsom.comEmail: hello@rosiemilsom.comFree Get Out Of Your Head Workshop: A free workshop to help you stop overthinking and trust your decisions. rosie-milsom-coaching-get-out-of-your-head.subscribepage.ioConnect with AmyInstagram: @its.amysandersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/itsamysanders/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachamysanders/Explore Amy's WorkThe Unblocked Woman Collective:https://amysanders.co/the-unblocked-woman-collective-33The Mirror: https://amysanders.co/the-mirrorThe Unblocked Method:https://amysanders.co/the-unblocked-method

Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show!In this solo episode, I'm talking about what happens in your brain and body when you constantly tell yourself and others, “I'm so busy.” After noticing how often this phrase came up in conversations, I started experimenting with not saying it, and instead talking about calm, rest, gardening, reading, and the things I was doing to protect my peace.I dive into how the stories we repeat shape our nervous system, why “busy” keeps the body in a cortisol spend state, and how we can begin to train the part of the nervous system that helps us relax. This episode is about shifting the way we talk about stress, stepping out of hustle culture, and building the ability to move between doing and resting in a healthier way.In this episode, I discuss:Why saying “I'm so busy” can keep your nervous system in fight or flightHow busyness can become a badge of importance or successWhy your brain responds to the story you keep telling yourselfHow busy seasons can drain your cortisol bank account, even when the things you're doing are goodWhat happened when I stopped telling people I was busyWhy downtime can actually help you feel like you have more timeThe difference between being a human being and a human doingWhy exercise can be beneficial, but is still an energy spendThe stress muscle and relaxed muscle analogyWhy relaxing can feel uncomfortable if you have not trained that muscleHow to start building your relaxed muscle with small, consistent repsWhy a regulated nervous system can help you become a better partner, parent, employee, and personHow The Cortisol Cure can help you change the way you understand stress, burnout, and recoveryIf you've been wearing busyness like a badge or feeling like you never have enough time, this episode is an invitation to try something different. Stop telling your brain you are constantly busy and start asking yourself how you actually want to feel. The more you practice calm, rest, and regulation, the stronger that relaxed muscle becomes.Connect with me:Visit https://www.drerinkinney.com/the-cortisol-cure to order The Cortisol Cure and learn more about how to support your cortisol bank account, reduce burnout, and build a healthier relationship with stress.
If you're paying yourself whatever is left after your software, contractors, taxes, and business investments are covered, you don't actually have an owner pay strategy. In this episode of The Real Truth About Business podcast, I'm breaking down how to think about paying yourself as a business owner, including how much you should pay yourself, how often you should get paid, and why your payment schedule needs to reflect how money actually flows into your business. After 9 years of experience working with service-based entrepreneurs, I see too many owners generating revenue while treating their own paycheck as optional. Your business strategy should support your life, and that means intentionally planning for owner pay instead of hoping there's money left over. We'll talk about personal income needs, cash flow, payment cadence, owner draws, and how to make investment decisions after accounting for your paycheck. Revenue growth matters, but financial strategy is what turns that revenue into a business that actually pays you.What You'll Learn:How to determine how much your business actually needs to pay youWhy “whatever is left” is not a sustainable owner pay strategyHow your business structure can affect the mechanics of paying yourselfHow to create a payment schedule based on when revenue enters your businessHow percentage-based owner pay and reserve accounts can create consistencyWhy investment decisions should account for your paycheck before you spend the moneyEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Introduction: How much are you actually paying yourself?[02:15] Why owner pay is part of your overall profit strategy[05:00] Why paying yourself last needs to stop[07:15] Owner draws, S Corps, and how business structure affects payment[09:30] Determining how much your personal life needs from the business[11:00] Matching your paycheck cadence to when your revenue comes in[13:30] Using percentages and reserve accounts to pay yourself consistently[16:00] How investments affect your paycheck and cash flow decisions[18:15] The two numbers every business owner needs to know[20:00] Wrap-up: Making owner pay a routine part of your businessKey Takeaways:Stop Paying Yourself Whatever Is LeftHere's what I hear constantly when I ask business owners how much they pay themselves:“I don't know. Whatever is left.”Or:“I take a draw when I need it.”Meanwhile, the business is paying for software, contractors, taxes, programs, marketing, and other investments. Then you look at the bank account and decide whether there's enough remaining to pay yourself.That is not a payment strategy.If we're building businesses that are supposed to support our lives, we cannot consistently treat ourselves as the last person who gets paid. Your business needs to have an intentional plan for paying you.Start With What Your Personal Life Actually RequiresBefore deciding how much to pay yourself, look at your personal expenses.What does your business need to provide for your life?If you need $3,000 per month to cover your personal expenses, that needs to become part of the financial plan. You shouldn't automatically drop your paycheck to $1,500 because you decided to spend another $1,500 somewhere else in the business.Think about it another way.If you were looking for a job tomorrow, what is the minimum salary you would accept?Most of us would never take a job without considering whether the salary could support our lives. Yet we become business owners and suddenly stop applying that same standard to ourselves.Your business may not be able to pay your ideal amount immediately, especially if it's newer. But you should at least know the number you're working toward.How You Pay Yourself Depends on Your Business StructureThe mechanics of paying yourself can depend on your business structure.For many single-member LLCs and sole proprietors, that may mean taking an owner's draw by transferring money from the business to yourself. As I explain in the episode, an owner's draw is not treated as a business expense on your profit and loss statement.An S Corporation works differently and generally involves paying the owner reasonable compensation through payroll.This is where I want to be very clear. I am not a CPA, tax strategist, or lawyer. Work with your own qualified tax professional to determine the appropriate structure and payment method for your specific business.Your Pay Schedule Should Match Your Cash FlowOne of the reasons business owners struggle to pay themselves consistently is that business revenue doesn't always arrive consistently.This is where understanding your cash flow becomes important.Look at how your clients actually pay you.Maybe most of your recurring payments arrive between the 15th and 25th. It may not make sense to take identical weekly paychecks when most of your revenue enters the business later in the month.You could instead take a larger monthly payment after that revenue arrives.If your income is project-based and comes in throughout the month, another option is deciding that a percentage of each payment goes toward owner pay.The goal is to build a cadence around how your business actually makes money.Create a System That Makes Paying Yourself RoutinePaying yourself shouldn't be something you remember to do after everybody else gets paid.It should become routine.One option I use is creating a separate reserve account specifically for owner pay. A predetermined percentage of deposits can automatically move into that account, creating a pool of money specifically designated for your paycheck.Then you're not looking at one big bank balance and mentally treating all of that money as available to spend.You've already identified what's yours.Inside the Focused Visionary Framework, we talk about Pricing, Pipeline, and Sales because those are what help generate the revenue. But financial strategy answers the next question: What happens to that money after it arrives?Make Investment Decisions After Accounting for Your PayPaying yourself first doesn't mean you can never invest in your business.It means you understand what the investment is actually costing you.If you want to invest in a new program, contractor, piece of software, or other opportunity, ask what that decision affects.Does it reduce your paycheck this month?Does it require debt?Could you wait until more revenue comes in?Would a payment plan make more sense?Could you create a cash injection offer to generate the additional money?There isn't one universal right answer. The important shift is making the decision from facts instead of spending the money first and discovering afterward that there isn't enough left to pay yourself.Know Two Things: How Much and How OftenThere are two key decisions I want you to make.First, how much do you need and want to pay yourself?Second, how and when are you going to pay yourself?Maybe that's a percentage of every dollar that comes in. Maybe it's one lump sum each month. Maybe you create a reserve account and pay yourself on a consistent schedule.Your exact system will depend on your revenue model and financial situation.What matters is that you have a system.Revenue Growth Is Only the BeginningBusiness strategy can help you generate more money.Financial strategy helps you decide what to do with it.That's the conversation I want us having more often because generating impressive revenue doesn't mean much if the business still isn't paying the person running it.So start with your numbers.Determine how much you need to pay yourself. Look at when money enters your business. Decide how you're going to create a consistent owner pay cadence.Then make your other financial decisions around that reality.You are the CEO. Your paycheck needs to be part of the plan.Resources MentionedGet your FREE Ceo Income PlanBook a CEO Strategy Call Learn more about The Missing Piece IntensiveLearn more about The Focused Visionary AcceleratorDownload the FREE Lead and Conversion TrackerSubscribe to the Sunday Morning Brew NewsletterAbout the Host:Michelle DeNio is a business strategist based in Sarasota, Florida, specializing in helping service-based entrepreneurs break through revenue plateaus using her Focused Visionary Framework.

In this episode of the Amicable Divorce Network Podcast, host Tracy Ann Moore-Grant sits down with ADN board member, coaching chair, and certified life coach Nicole Comis for an honest, hopeful conversation about what comes after divorce — and how to stop reacting to life and start intentionally creating it.Nicole works with people at every stage of the divorce journey, but her real passion is helping people on the other side — the ones who have made it through and are now asking the question nobody prepared them for: who am I now, and what do I actually want?This is one of the most human episodes we've recorded. If you're feeling stuck, scared, resentful, or just not sure what's next — this one is for you.In this episode you'll learn:Why forgiveness is not about the other person — it's about freeing yourselfHow "marinating" in anger and resentment keeps you in partnership with your pain instead of your futureThe difference between a life coach, divorce coach, health coach, and business coach — and which one you actually needWhy the best decisions in divorce come from vision and values, not fear and scarcityThe Whole 30 mindset lesson that will change how you think about your divorce journeyHow to identify the "negative advocates" in your life — even when they love you deeplyWhy simply making one phone call to a coach could change everything
Some of the hardest energetic cords to cut are not attached to other people.They're attached to versions of you that you created to survive.The people pleaser.The perfectionist.The caretaker.The responsible one.The version of you who learned exactly who she needed to be in order to stay loved, accepted, praised, or protected.In this episode, I'm exploring energetic cord cutting through a different lens: the attachments we form to our own survival identities.Because sometimes the thing keeping you stuck is not an ex, a parent, or another relationship. It's an old agreement about who you have to be.We talk about how these identities can become energetic imprints, why familiar ways of being can feel safer than authentic ones, and how childhood reasoning can continue shaping adult choices long after the original circumstances have changed.In this episode, we explore:Why some of your strongest energetic attachments may be to past versions of yourselfHow people pleasing, perfectionism, and caregiving can become protective identitiesWhy survival masks can make rejection feel less vulnerableThe connection between energetic attachments, the inner child, and the bodyHow childhood experiences can shape what you associate with responsibility, safety, love, and acceptanceWhy you may be making present-day decisions from a version of yourself who no longer lives in your present realityHow clearing old attachments can create more space for authentic expression and grounded decision-makingWhy “opening the road” may require releasing an identity before pursuing something newOne of the questions I want you to sit with after listening is:Who did you have to become in order to be accepted, loved, protected, or praised, and where is that version of you still making decisions today?Go deeperFor paid subscribers, I created a companion Integration Guide: Cutting the Cords to Who You Had to Become.It will help you explore the survival identities you formed, what they protected you from, the old agreements underneath them, how those patterns show up in your body and current choices, and what might become possible as you begin making decisions from who you are now.Use it as a journal, reflection practice, or companion to this episode as you begin noticing the difference between the self who survived and the self who is becoming.

“I'm fine” is often less a truth and more a reflex that pulls us away from what we actually feel.What if that phrase is quietly shaping how you move through grief, stress, and relationship without you realizing the cost? Beneath it, self-abandonment can start to look like stability.Today's conversation explores what I'm calling high-functioning grief; the kind that runs underneath daily life while everything still looks “fine” on the outside.We look at how this pattern shows up in the nervous system, why grief often hides inside functioning and responsibility, and what it means to stop overriding yourself and come back into contact with your inner experience.In this episode, we talk about:High-functioning grief in everyday lifeWhy “I'm fine” becomes a reflexGrief hidden inside functioning and responsibilityNervous system patterns of self-abandonmentComing back into contact with yourselfHow honesty shifts relationshipsLinks + Resources from this episode:Get Anne Lamott's book, Almost EverythingBecome a PatronConnect with MandyLearn more about Restorative Grief
What if the reason you can't focus, make decisions, or tap into your creativity isn't a lack of discipline—but a lack of capacity? Shaun and Rebecca sit down with executive advisor, business coach, keynote speaker, and author Angie Wisdom to talk about protecting the finite mental and emotional resources we rely on to run our businesses and our lives.Angie breaks down why interior designers are especially vulnerable to capacity overload, how constant decisions and “search friction” drain our brains, and why pushing through burnout usually makes things worse. They also explore nervous system regulation, morning routines, habit building, self-trust, people pleasing, navigating genuinely hard seasons of life, and learning to modify your expectations instead of abandoning what matters to you. If you've ever wondered why you can't seem to discipline your way into doing more, this conversation offers a completely different framework for creating sustainable success.In this episode they discuss:Why your brain has a finite amount of daily capacity and how to think of it like the battery on your phoneThe mental, emotional, physical, and nervous system “leaks” that can drain your capacity before the workday is even overAngie's CAP framework—Catch, Ask, Prompt—for recognizing when you're overloaded and choosing what you need nextWhy interior designers can't simply hustle or push through creative burnout when there's no capacity left to accessHow discipline uses valuable mental capacity and why turning behaviors into habits and identity makes them easier to sustainHow morning routines, proactive decision-making, and reducing “search friction” can protect your energy for the work that mattersCreating realistic modifications during hard seasons of life instead of waiting to “survive” them before prioritizing yourselfHow self-trust, values, and intentional capacity management can make you a stronger business owner, creative, leader, and service providerMentioned:Angie Wisdom - https://angiewisdom.com/Angie Wisdom on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/angiewisdom_/The Non-Negotiable You: Mindset Mastery for Daily Success - https://angiewisdom.com/product/the-non-negotiable-you-mindset-mastery-for-daily-success/Our links:Subscribe and leave a review - Apple PodcastsLike, Comment, & Follow - Hot Young Designers Club InstagramRebecca's InstagramShaun's InstagramFor more information - Check out the websiteBecome a “Loyal Hottie” - Support us on PatreonDesign Resources - Check out our shop
What if you haven't lost your passion... you've simply lost touch with your body and your desires?If you've gotten so used to doing what you're supposed to do that you can't hear what you actually want anymore, this episode offers a way back in.In this deeply relaxing sacral chakra hypnosis journey, you'll be guided inward to explore desire, pleasure, sensuality, creative energy, and authentic self-expression.This episode explores:Why feeling creatively stuck or uninspired may be connected to losing touch with your desiresThe relationship between the sacral chakra, desire, pleasure, sensuality, and creative expressionHow conscious desires can conflict with unconscious beliefs, patterns, thoughts, and habitsThe difference between following external pressure and choosing from the inside outWhy the smallest desires can be a place to begin reconnecting with yourselfHow your yes and no can become an internal guidance systemWhat happens when you stop automatically judging or suppressing taboo and forbidden desiresWhy pleasure can be experienced through small momentsHow breath, movement, sensation, and body awareness can bring you back into contact with desireThe idea of meeting life's challenges with humor, play, compassion, and curiosityQuestions to help you explore your relationship with creativity, pleasure, and desireThe Sacral Chakra and Creative EnergyThe episode describes the sacral chakra as a source of creative life force, desire, pleasure, sensuality, and connection.The hypnosis uses a warm healing pool as an imaginative space for exploring that connection. As you enter the water, the experience invites you to notice your body and the sensations of being supported, while allowing the environment to shift around your desires.The journey then explores the relationship between conscious desires and unconscious beliefs, patterns, thoughts, and habits.Your Desire as an Internal Guidance SystemOne of the central ideas of this episode is learning to recognize your yes and no.When you become quiet enough to listen, desire can sound like:“Yes, more, please.”“No, not that.”“What about this?”“Try that.”“Go here.”“Explore that.”Rather than immediately judging these impulses, the episode invites you to become curious about them.You can begin with the smallest desires and notice what happens when you allow yourself to follow the inspiration.The Full Spectrum of Being HumanThe journey doesn't promise a life without challenges.Instead, it explores the idea that being human includes both the light and the shadow, love and loss, pain and pleasure.The episode challenges the expectation that life should always be perfect and instead invites you to experience challenges as part of the adventure of being human.Humor and play are part of your creative makeup, too.After the HypnosisAs you return from the journey, you're invited to bring your awareness back into your physical body, particularly the area between your navel and pubic bone.You can breathe deeply into your sacral chakra and notice the sensations of your body as you return to the room.The journey is an invitation to reconnect with the power of desire, awaken pleasure, open your sensations, and allow your creative life force to move through you.CHAKRA RECODE INVITATION:If you've ever felt like your sensitivity is too much because you feel everything and you don't know what to do with it, this is for you.The Ecstatic Empath Chakra Recode Album is 13 guided hypnosis journeys through every layer of your energetic system, designed to recode your identity from overwhelmed empath to ecstatic empath for $22 Visit https://www.chakrarecode.comTimestamps0:00 – Intro: Why you feel creatively stuck0:42 – Welcome to the Ecstatic Empath Show1:33 – Listener shoutout (St. Lazare, Canada)1:42 – Ecstatic Empath Chakra Recode album2:12 – Settle in and prepare for the journey2:33 – Guided breathing and relaxation begins2:56 – Sacred creative energy invocation3:29 – Introduction to the sacral chakra journey5:03 – Descending the staircase to the healing pool6:25 – Entering the water, connecting to your center9:19 – Sinking deeper, releasing old patterns10:00 – Clearing your timeline and unconscious blocks11:19 – Weaving conscious and unconscious desire13:07 – Being human is the full spectrum15:52 – Reclaiming your creative power17:39 – The power of desire and your inner yes20:12 – Life force seeking expression through you21:12 – Every moment is an access portal23:07 – Returning from the journey21:52 – Coming back into the body (grounding)22:10 – Self-inquiry reflection questions23:10 – Closing thanks and next stepsQuestions?

Ever feel like you really want something, but some part of you keeps getting in the way?In this insightful and practical episode of the High Vibin' It Podcast, Kelsey Aida and Lynnsey Robinson dive into one of the biggest reasons we can struggle to create the lives we want: the subconscious mind.Lynnsey breaks down how the subconscious is formed, why its primary job is to keep us safe rather than happy or fulfilled, and how old beliefs can quietly influence the goals, relationships, and experiences we allow ourselves to have. Together, they explore why what feels familiar can sometimes feel safer than what we actually want, even when that familiar reality no longer serves us.They also unpack the idea of "self-sabotage" and offer a more compassionate way to understand it. Instead of seeing your subconscious as something working against you, what if it's simply running outdated programming that once helped you survive?From identifying limiting beliefs and questioning your self-talk to making new goals feel safe, this episode offers practical ways to become more curious about what's happening beneath the surface and start getting your whole mind on board with the life you're creating.✨ What You'll Discover:How your subconscious mind is formedWhy the subconscious is focused on safety, not happinessHow childhood experiences shape your beliefs and identityWhy your subconscious doesn't know when an old belief is outdatedWhat "self-sabotage" actually meansWhy familiar situations can feel safer than unfamiliar onesHow your subconscious can resist goals that feel too different from your current identityHow to tell if your subconscious may be blocking a goalWhy curiosity is more helpful than judging yourselfHow to identify the beliefs hiding behind procrastination and resistanceA simple practice for rewriting limiting self-talkWhy handwriting can help reinforce new beliefsHow to make your goals feel safer to your subconsciousWhy becoming the new version of yourself requires inner workHow self-love can help you recognize what is no longer serving you✨ Want more?In the extended Patreon episode, Kelsey and Lynnsey pull a Blind Spot card to explore what might be secretly keeping you stuck.

Do you find yourself trying to fix your kids' hard feelings, keep the peace, or make everything okay?What if deeper connection with your kids actually starts with learning how to connect with yourself?In today's episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori talks with Diane Sorensen, certified Transformational Coach and host of the Chaos to Connection podcast, about breaking generational patterns, understanding our emotional triggers, and creating stronger relationships with our children.Diane shares how her daughter's mental health crisis and her own divorce forced her to look at patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional suppression, and approval-seeking that she had unknowingly carried into motherhood.Together, Lori and Diane discuss:Why connection with your children starts with connection to yourselfHow to recognize your emotional triggers—and what they can teach youWhy trying to keep everyone happy can actually hurt connectionThe difference between feeling an emotion and knowing how to be with an emotionHow perfectionism and “good girl” conditioning can show up in motherhoodWhy your child's emotions are not yours to manageHow to be okay when your kids are not okayWhy connection isn't about spending more time or money on your kidsHow to listen to your children without immediately fixing, reframing, or teachingA simple practice you can use today to start building more emotional awareness and connectionOne of Diane's most powerful reminders?

You don't lose your life all at once.You lose it one unchecked default at a time.Most capable men aren't failing because they lack ambition, talent, or potential.They're drifting.They're winning at work but losing control of their habits. They're taking care of everyone else while neglecting themselves. They're busy every day—but no longer certain that the life they're building is actually the life they want.And the dangerous part?Success can hide drift.In this episode, I break down why high-performing men drift and how to stop living on autopilot and start living by design.We'll unpack:Default vs. Design — why your life will default to whatever you fail to intentionally designThe Self-Leadership Ladder — moving from Default → Desperation → Desire → Discipline → DesignWhy outward success can mask inward inconsistencyThe hidden cost of repeatedly breaking promises to yourselfHow to build a Daily Battle Rhythm that turns your priorities into standardsThis isn't about finding more motivation.It's about becoming the man who doesn't need to negotiate with himself every morning.Because your calendar is building something.Your habits are building something.Your standards are building something.The question is: Are they building the man you actually want to become?If you're tired of starting over, falling off, and rebuilding alone, Built Not Born is about developing the structure, standards, brotherhood, and accountability required to stop drifting and start living by design.Stop drifting. Build the man. Lead the life. Leave the legacy.Join the Built Not Born Community HERE
What do you do when you don't feel like yourself anymore?In this episode, we're talking about losing yourself, losing your confidence, and feeling disconnected from your own identity. Sometimes life, relationships, comparison, failure, people-pleasing, or simply growing into a new version of yourself can leave you questioning who you are and what you even want anymore.We're getting honest about self-worth, confidence, identity, and learning how to come back to yourself when you feel like you've lost the person you used to be.If you've been feeling insecure, stuck, unmotivated, overly dependent on outside validation, or like you've become a version of yourself that you don't recognize, this episode is for you.We'll talk about how to rebuild your confidence, stop looking outside of yourself for your worth, reconnect with your identity, and start becoming someone you genuinely feel proud to be.In this episode:Why you might feel like you've lost yourselfHow to rebuild your self-confidenceThe connection between confidence and self-worthHow comparison can change the way you see yourselfWhy you may feel disconnected from your identityHow relationships and other people can affect your sense of selfLearning to trust yourself againHow to stop seeking constant external validationReconnecting with the things that make you feel like YOUBecoming a stronger, more confident version of yourself♡ LINKS
During August, the Motherkind team and I try to practise what we preach by slowing down, taking some time off and making the juggle just a little easier over the summer holidays.So, throughout the month, we're bringing you some of our most listened-to episodes of the year so far.If you're the person who remembers the PE kits, books the appointments, sorts the childcare, knows when the suncream needs reapplying and automatically assumes you're looking after the children unless you've specifically arranged otherwise — this episode is for you.This week's episode is with author Lou Beckett for a brilliantly honest conversation about being the default parent and the invisible mental, emotional and physical load so many mothers carry.Lou describes default parenting as something bigger than the mental load. It's not only thinking about everything that needs to happen; it's doing it, managing it and carrying the underlying assumption that ultimately, you are responsible. And often, couples don't consciously choose these roles at all. They simply fall into them after having children and never stop to renegotiate them.We talk about what that does to your identity, your relationship and your time — including Lou's experience of stepping away from her career while her husband's career accelerated, and the gradual feeling that she had lost sight of who she was outside motherhood.Lou also shares what has actually helped them change the dynamic at home: having honest conversations about responsibility, creating space for both parents' needs and recognising that wanting time for yourself doesn't make you selfish. We also talk about the enormous standards mothers place on themselves, comparison, mum guilt and why sometimes “good enough” really is enough.This is a funny, validating and incredibly relatable conversation for any mother who has ever thought: Why does everything seem to fall to me?
Episode 261: The Freedom to Be ThereToday's episode is personal.I'm sharing what it felt like to drop my kids off for their first day of school—and why a seemingly simple morning reminded me of why I built my business in the first place.For me, success was never just about making more money. I wanted time freedom. I wanted the ability to be present for the moments that matter without constantly asking permission, rearranging my life around a job, or feeling like I was missing the moments I could never get back.In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of the life I've intentionally created through entrepreneurship, coaching, content creation, and building a business that gives me more control over my time.But I also want to be honest: freedom didn't happen overnight.There were years of learning, failing, rebuilding, showing up when I didn't feel like it, and continuously working toward a bigger vision. The freedom I have today was created through years of small, consistent decisions.We talk about:What the first day of school made me realize about my life and businessWhy time freedom became one of my biggest measures of successThe difference between building a business and simply creating another job for yourselfHow entrepreneurship can create more flexibility and freedomThe sacrifices and work that happen behind the scenes of a “freedom lifestyle”Why financial freedom and time freedom go hand in handThe importance of building a business around the life you actually wantMotherhood, business, and being present for the moments you can't get backWhy freedom is something you intentionally create—not something that simply happensIf you've ever dreamed of building a business that gives you more freedom, flexibility, financial independence, and control over your time, this episode is for you.Because at the end of the day, the biggest flex isn't just what your business can buy you.It's what your business can give back to you: your time, your choices, and the ability to be present for the people you love.

Could the way you relate to yourself be affecting your experience of persistent pain?In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon speaks with Lindsay Little about the complex relationship between physical pain, emotional pain and self-love. Drawing on her own experience of serious illness, autoimmune disease and feeling disconnected from her body, Lindsay explains how her health crisis led her to explore massage, somatic practices and the deeper messages held within the body.Together, Leigh and Lindsay discuss why physical and emotional pain cannot always be separated, how a lack of self-love may influence the way we care for ourselves, and why healing may require more than treating symptoms alone.They also explore how chronic stress, unresolved emotions, personal boundaries and our need to feel loved can affect our physical and emotional well-being. Lindsay shares practical ways to begin cultivating self-love, including identifying how you prefer to receive love, becoming more mindful of your needs, establishing healthier boundaries and making space for meaningful self-care.In this episode, you'll discover:How Lindsay's experience with autoimmune disease changed her relationship with her bodyWhy physical and emotional pain are often deeply interconnectedHow unresolved emotional experiences may contribute to persistent symptomsWhy self-love is about more than positive thinking or pampering yourselfHow your personal “love languages” can be applied to self-careWhy healthy boundaries are an essential expression of self-respectHow mindfulness and somatic awareness can help you reconnect with your bodyPractical first steps towards developing a more supportive relationship with yourselfIf you have persistent pain and feel that something important has been overlooked, this conversation offers a compassionate invitation to listen to your body, explore your emotional needs and consider healing from a whole-person perspective.Connect with Lindsay LittleSomaLingua:https://somalingua.com/Connect with Leigh BrandonBeyond The Pain paperback:https://amzn.to/4y2HVWgBeyond The Pain ebook:https://amzn.to/4y0lH78Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme:https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Free Pain-Free Plate Guide:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation

Many of us grew up repeating the phrase, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." While it may have been intended to build resilience, I've come to believe it's simply NOT true.In today's episode, I'm talking about why that saying is crap. The words we hear, and the ones we tell ourselves, shape what we believe and how we experience the world.The encouraging news? Those stories aren't permanent.

Send us Fan MailIn this thought-provoking episode of The Box & The Sky series, Keya McClain the Poet explores the emotional, relational, and spiritual cost of constantly judging, correcting, or attempting to control other people's lives.Inspired by a simple social media video that questioned how people should dress, Keya reflects on a much deeper issue: Why do other people's authentic choices create such strong emotional reactions in us?From clothing and relationships to spirituality, parenting, careers, and personal expression, this episode challenges listeners to consider the difference between curiosity and projection—and the freedom that comes from releasing the need to manage another person's journey.Keya also shares her own experience of leaving the church and the unexpected anger it created in others, illustrating how someone else's authenticity can sometimes feel threatening when it challenges the boxes we've built around our own identities.In this episode, Keya discusses:Why discomfort often becomes judgmentThe difference between curiosity and projectionHow social media encourages opinion over reflectionThe emotional cost of trying to control other people's choicesWhy someone else's authenticity is not an emergencyThe connection between identity, certainty, and judgmentRedirecting your energy from managing others to healing yourselfHow honoring your own path creates more peace than policing someone else'sThis conversation is for anyone who has ever felt judged for choosing a different path—or who is ready to examine where they may be spending too much emotional energy trying to understand, correct, or control the lives of others.Because healing doesn't ask us to agree with everyone.It asks us to trust ourselves enough to allow others the freedom to become who they are meant to be.Your peace grows when your need to control someone else's journey begins to fade.Support the show
We've all heard the saying, “If you're scared… get a dog.” But what if fear has been making more decisions in your life than you realize?In this episode of Road to Victory, I unpack how fear quietly shapes our choices, steals opportunities, and keeps us living beneath our potential.

What if the biggest challenges in your life aren't actually about money, health, your career, or even your relationships with other people?In this episode, Milli shares the one realization that changed everything: every struggle is ultimately a relationship issue.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever found yourself waiting for the perfect moment to finally move forward? Maybe you've been waiting until you feel more confident, have more money, know exactly what to do, or can see the entire path ahead. The truth is, most of us spend far too much time waiting for certainty when God is simply asking us to take the next step. The clarity you're looking for often doesn't come before movement—it comes because of it.In this episode of You Are More, Amy challenges the idea that confidence comes first. After more than three decades in business and a lifetime of walking by faith, she's discovered that confidence isn't something you wait to feel before acting. It's something that's built through consistent action. Every time you choose courage over comfort, every time you honor a commitment to yourself, and every time you take one small step forward, your confidence begins to grow.Amy also explores one of the greatest obstacles to purpose: comfort. While comfort feels safe, it can quietly become a cage that keeps us from the very opportunities God has placed in front of us. Looking back at the Israelites, she reminds us how easy it is to romanticize what is familiar rather than stepping into the unknown where growth happens. Real transformation rarely occurs inside our comfort zones. It happens when we trust God enough to move before we have every answer.Throughout the episode, Amy shares practical encouragement for anyone feeling stuck. She explains that our future is not built by one dramatic leap but by hundreds of faithful "yeses." A phone call. An application. A workout. An invitation. A difficult conversation. These small acts of obedience compound over time and eventually create an entirely different life. The goal isn't perfection—it's consistency.If you've been waiting for the right time, this episode is your reminder that there may never be a perfect moment. God often reveals the path one step at a time. Your responsibility isn't to see the whole staircase—it's simply to take the next step. Because movement creates clarity, clarity creates opportunity, and opportunity opens doors you could never have imagined. Today is the perfect day to stop waiting and start moving.In This EpisodeWhy movement creates clarityThe myth of waiting for perfect timingHow confidence is built through consistent actionWhy comfort can quietly become a cageThe danger of staying where life feels familiarHow one decision at a time shapes your futureWhy consistency beats motivationThe power of honoring commitments to yourselfHow to stop waiting and start walking by faithThree practical action steps to move into your next seasonConnect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comJoin The 6AM Club Bible Study!

What would your life look like if it became unrecognizable—in all the best ways—over the next 12 months?In this special live replay, Elyse Archer is joined by Michelle Chalfant and Jessica Papineau for a powerful conversation about what it truly takes to build your empire—not simply by doing more, but by expanding your vision, releasing the patterns that can no longer come with you, and becoming the woman capable of holding what you desire.Together, they explore why success can feel so difficult when you've been conditioned to grind your way there, the role your identity plays in creating your next level, and why the people and environments around you can dramatically expand—or limit—what you believe is possible. You'll also hear a powerful question to journal on: If your life were unrecognizable in 12 months, what would it look like? This episode is the replay of a live information session for The Empire Mastermind, so you'll also hear Elyse, Michelle, and Jessica pull back the curtain on the experience they created for women ready to expand their wealth, leadership, self-expression, and impact. In this episode, you'll discover:Why building your next level may require releasing an old version of yourselfHow your environment can expand your capacity for successThe difference between forcing success and becoming available to receive moreWhy vision, emotional clearing, and embodiment work togetherHow to identify what you actually desire beyond what you've been taught success should look likeThe question that can completely expand your vision for the next 12 monthsIf you know there is more available for your life, your business, and the woman you are becoming, this conversation is your invitation to explore what that “more” could actually look like.

She planned to write, record podcasts, and make progress on her business.

Chef RJ Yoakum is the chef de cuisine at Michelin-recommended Sushi Kozy in Dallas, a kaiseki-inspired omakase restaurant from chef-owner Paul Ko. A 2025 James Beard Award finalist for Emerging Chef, he previously led the kitchen at Georgie in Dallas to its first Michelin recommendation and trained at The French Laundry, Angler, and The Clove Club in London.He is 32 years old. He has trained in some of the most demanding kitchens in the world. And in this episode, he says that the more successful he became in Dallas, internally he was broken.Why four excellent elements on a plate always beat seven mediocre ones, and how learning to edit is what separates mature cooking from the need to prove yourselfHow cooking meat and fish whole on the bone and portioning after service protects yield, improves consistency, and teaches teams to develop real judgment instead of following a timerWhat nobody tells you when you leave a three-star kitchen to lead your own, why the resume gets you in but culture has to be built from zero, and why the army disappears the moment you need it mostAndré Natera and RJ Yoakum cover the TFL classics that shaped his approach, the asparagus question of when technique serves the ingredient versus when it gets in the way, the mentorship of David Breeden and Thomas Keller and what it actually transferred, the imposter syndrome that followed his success in Dallas, and the leadership lessons that only made sense once he was on the other side of them. The episode closes with his Mount Rushmore, rapid fire questions, and what he is building at Sushi Kozy.This episode is sponsored by Rational USA. Learn more at https://rationalusa.com

Because here's the truth, a goal without an identity change is just torture.
