This week's episode was supposed to be a deeper dive into perimenopause, but as I started talking, the conversation went somewhere completely different. And honestly, I think it went exactly where it needed to go.I open up about some very personal parts of my health journey, including living with HPV, abnormal pap smears, precancerous cervical cells, and a recent conversation with my doctor about potentially having a partial hysterectomy. That conversation brought up so many questions for me about what happens to our bodies as we age and the parts of womanhood we don't talk about nearly enough.I also share what I've noticed changing in my 40s when it comes to sex, libido, vaginal health, and how those changes have affected the way I see myself as a woman. We talk about vaginal estrogen, recurrent UTIs during perimenopause, my recent experience with an infection I initially ignored, and why listening to our bodies and advocating for our health matters so much.In this episode, we discuss:Living with HPV and my history of abnormal pap smearsWhy my doctor brought up a partial hysterectomySex, libido, vaginal dryness, and intimacy in your 40sVaginal estrogen and vaginal health during perimenopauseMy recent UTI experience and why I wish I had acted soonerLearning to listen to your body and advocate for yourselfIf you've been experiencing changes in your body that you don't understand, putting off an appointment, or simply wondering why no one ever taught us about some of these things, I hope this conversation encourages you to ask questions, listen to your gut, and take your health seriously.Our bodies are such a gift, and sometimes, watching them change can be harder and more emotional than we expect.Here's to asking more questions and learning as we go. ❤️WANT TO JOIN A COMMUNITY THAT UNDERSTANDS THIS?

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

Y'all, have you ever stopped to think about the fact that you are literally teaching people how to treat you every single day? In this episode, part of our High Self-Worth Summer series, I'm getting into one of the most requested topics I get: boundaries. But before we go there, I want to talk about something that doesn't get enough airtime, which is standard. Because here's the thing, your standards are actually the root of your boundaries. A standard is a promise you make to yourself about how you're going to show up and how you'll allow yourself to be treated, and it's rooted in identity, not preference. Once I got clear on my own standards, everything about how I dated and who I let into my life started to shift. I break down my favorite metaphor for this, soil, roots, and flowers, and why boundaries are 90% energy, not a script you Google the night before a hard conversation.Inside the Episode:Why your standards are identity-rooted (not just preferences) and how that one shift changes everything about how you show up in dating and relationshipsMy soil, roots, and flowers metaphor, self-worth is the soil, standards are the roots, and boundaries are the flowers that naturally grow when the roots are healthyWhy boundaries aren't about being "too much" or "a bitch", they're proof that you believe you matter enough to protect yourselfIf this one hit home for you:

Mike Campbell, men's coach and author of Unleash Your Alpha, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a candid conversation on why so many outwardly successful men feel stuck, unfulfilled, and disconnected on the inside. Since 2012, Mike has coached more than 3,000 men across New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and the US, helping business owners, leaders, husbands, and fathers become more confident, emotionally grounded, and connected. Mike shares the heartbreak and loss that launched his own inner work, why the "armor" men build to feel safe ends up weakening them, and the deceptively simple practices he uses to help men slow down, face themselves, and reclaim the lives they actually want. The conversation closes with what men wish women understood, the biggest mistakes men make in marriage, and the power of doing this work alongside other men.KEY TAKEAWAYS(01:52) The iceberg beneath the surface — what successful men who "have it all" are silently struggling with, and why Mike has conversations with men that most men have never had(09:00) "A strength turned up too high is a weakness" — how coping mechanisms become armor, and why the thicker the armor, the thinner the skin underneath(12:17) Mike's origin story — a broken engagement, losing his mother to lung cancer, and the soul-searching that took him from personal trainer to men's coach(15:46) The realization that changed his career: men come with a physical want, but underneath it is an emotional need at the identity level(21:38) The "Trojan horse" approach to self-awareness — why Mike starts with simple, cutting questions like "Do you like yourself? Do you like your life?"(27:00) The 15-minute daily practice Mike gives every client — sitting alone with your thoughts, no music, no distractions — and why the discomfort points you in the right direction(29:40) "The thing I say I want, I don't allow" — why men crave space, peace, and ease but fill every moment, and the movie-watching homework that exposes it(32:59) The Lincoln axe analogy — why slowing down to sharpen the axe beats exhausting yourself cutting the tree down with a bread knife(39:01) Life as a million-piece jigsaw puzzle — why clarity and ownership of your own picture make everything more intentional and meaningful(42:40) What men wish women understood — why having their efforts witnessed, acknowledged, and appreciated is fuel(45:23) The biggest marriage mistakes men make — being emotionally inaccessible, or making their partner their therapist — and why men need other men(48:04) Inside "Hunt and Gather" — Mike's back-country initiation experience in New Zealand, and the irreplaceable power of men doing this work together(52:30) Mike's megaphone message to the men of the world: an invitation to come back home to yourselfIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

Do you have a part of you that wants to hide your eating behaviors but don't understand why you do it or how to stop?In this episode, I share from my own experience of hiding my binge eating for years, including a memory of sneaking food as a young child, and explore why secret eating and hiding food make complete sense as a protective strategy, and what it actually takes to begin stepping out of it.What You'll Discover:Why secret eating and hiding food aren't character flaws and what the part doing the hiding is actually trying to doWhy the hiding tends to increase the shame over time and what living a double life around food costs over timeWhat the part that hides actually needs and why forced accountability tends to backfireWhy the first step out of hiding has nothing to do with telling anyone and everything to do with how you see yourselfIf you've been carrying this alone, whether no one knows at all or the people in your life only know part of it, this episode is for you.Previous episodes referenced:How to Talk to Your Loved Ones About Your Secret EatingUnderstanding the Part of You That Wants to Binge (Part 1)If you would like to explore getting support with your eating challenges, schedule a Breakthrough Call today.Want to know why you struggle with food and what to do next?

I've just returned from Self Love Camp, a retreat where I spent a few days guiding breathwork, listening to inspiring speakers, learning new things, and stepping away from the routines of everyday life.As I drove home, I found myself reflecting on something I always notice after retreats and intentional breaks: I come back feeling different. Clearer. More creative. More connected to myself. And it got me wondering - what is it about stepping away that feels so powerful?In this episode of Take a Breath, I explore how to give your nervous system a real breath and what I believe is one of the missing ingredients in modern life: space. Space to think, feel, reflect and hear yourself again. Drawing on neuroscience, nervous system science, and my own experiences of attending and hosting retreats, I share why creating intentional space isn't a luxury - it's something our brains and bodies genuinely need.In this episode, I share:

In this episode, I'm joined by psychologist and mum, Jacquie Ward, for a really honest conversation about attachment, motherhood and the pressure modern mums are carrying right now.There's so much noise online about what “good” parenting should look like.And for a lot of mothers, it's creating anxiety, guilt and the feeling that no matter what they do, they're getting it wrong.So in this episode, we unpack what attachment actually is, what secure attachment really means, and why so many women are feeling torn between wanting to be deeply present mothers while also wanting purpose, ambition and fulfilment outside of parenting too.We talk about:- The difference between attachment and temperament- Why secure attachment does not mean being with your child 24/7 and what research actually says about secure attachment- How to create strong connection with your children while also honouring yourselfIf you're a mother who constantly feels pulled between wanting to do everything “right” for your children while also wanting something for yourself too, I know this episode will help.You do not have to lose yourself to be a good mother.Connect with Jacquie:Instagram: @jacquiewardWebsite: www.jacquieward.com.auResources for youWanting to understand your nervous system better so you can focus on responding rather than reacting?

Have you ever set a boundary, chosen yourself, or walked away from a situation you knew wasn't healthy only to find yourself overwhelmed with guilt, anxiety, self-doubt, or the urge to go back?If so, you're not alone.In this episode, Dr. Kelly Kessler explores one of the biggest misconceptions about boundaries: the hard part isn't setting them. The hard part is staying loyal to yourself afterward.You'll learn why choosing yourself can trigger anxiety, guilt, overthinking, and the pull back into old patterns of self-abandonment. Kelly explains how the nervous system often interprets disappointing others, creating conflict, or stepping outside familiar roles as a threat, making it difficult to maintain boundaries even when you know they're right for you.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why boundaries often feel harder after you've set them• The connection between guilt, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment• Why your mind spirals and your body reacts after choosing yourself• How fear of rejection, conflict, and disappointing others keeps you stuck• The difference between setting a boundary and staying loyal to yourself• How to build the nervous system capacity to stop abandoning yourselfIf you've ever found yourself taking back a boundary, overexplaining your decisions, or questioning whether you're being selfish for honoring your needs, this conversation will help you understand what's really happening beneath the surface.Because the goal isn't simply setting boundaries.The goal is becoming the woman who can stay connected to herself even when guilt, fear, uncertainty, and other people's expectations try to pull her back into self-abandonment.Connect with Kelly:Ready to go deeper?If this episode resonated, start with my free Self-Abandonment Audit — a powerful first step to uncover where you may be putting everyone else first, overriding your needs, or talking yourself out of what you know is right for you.Get the audit here:https://drkellykessler.com/selfauditReady for more support?

But every once in a while, someone picks up—or in this case, unknowingly sits down in the studio—and something special happens.This isn't just a podcast.It's a social experiment.It's a masterclass in spontaneity.It's proof that the most meaningful conversations often happen when nobody has time to prepare.Whether you're an entrepreneur, leader, creator, speaker, business owner, or simply someone who loves authentic storytelling, this episode will remind you that genuine human connection still wins.In this episode:• Unscripted conversation with Dave Blackford Unexpected stories and hilarious moments• Leadership insights and life lessons• Real friendship and authentic connection• The power of spontaneity and showing up as yourselfIf you're tired of polished interviews and predictable podcasts, you're going to love this.Subscribe, turn on notifications, and join the movement because with You Have to Meet My Friends, nobody knows they're the guest until they're already the guest.And honestly...That's where the magic lives.#Podcast #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Storytelling #Authenticity #KellyCardenas #YouHaveToMeetMyFriends #DaveBlackford #BusinessPodcast #PersonalGrowth

Forgiveness isn't a feeling. It's a choice. Jesus commanded us to love one another as He loved us. But what happens when we've been deeply hurt? What happens when the offense feels justified?

What if the most important skill of our moment isn't knowing more, but knowing what's actually worth caring about?Mark Manson is the bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and Everything Is F*cked, with three #1 New York Times bestsellers and tens of millions of readers around the world. The last time Mark joined Finding Mastery was in 2020, mid-COVID, when uncertainty was loud and the world felt strange. Five years on, the world is no less strange... it's just strange differently. The information ecosystem has fractured. Trust is harder to find. And the same noise we worried about five years ago has become the air we all breathe.In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, Mark walks through the three principles he's organized his life and work around: radical ownership, radical honesty, and radical acceptance. He explains why ownership is the foundation under everything, because nothing else really works until you take it. He explains why his bar for honesty is anything "relevant or pertinent to somebody's wellbeing." And he talks about why radical acceptance, the Buddhist part of him, is what allows agency without collapse.The conversation moves into territory both timely and timeless. Mark and Mike dig into why the decline of religion has helped the self-help industry explode, why a spiritual framework remains one of the strongest known protective factors for mental health, and how the comparison machinery in our brains, designed for a tribe of thirty, now buckles under the weight of three hundred million people on Instagram.Mark also opens up about Purpose, the AI app he's built, and what he learned designing it to be intentionally disagreeable. He explains why a yes-man entourage, whether it's people around a star athlete or an AI that agrees with everything you say, quietly untethers people from reality. And he shares the stoic-style practice he uses to stay honest with himself: imagining what would be true if he were the problem, then holding that thought lightly enough to set it back down.By the end, Mark and Mike land on what feels like the heart of the episode... You can be perfect as you are, and you can always be better. Both can be true.In this conversation, we explore:Why sincerity has become the most valuable signal in a fractured information landscapeThe three principles Mark uses to navigate uncertainty: radical ownership, radical honesty, and radical acceptanceHow our ancient comparison brain breaks under the weight of social media at scaleWhy a spiritual framework remains one of the strongest known protective factors for mental healthThe premortem practice that helps Mark stay honest with himself, and why most of us avoid itWhy an AI (or a person) that agrees with everything you say is a slow-motion mental health riskHow to use AI as a thought partner without letting it do your thinking for youThe question that keeps Mark up at night, and might be worth asking yourselfIf you've ever felt like the noise is winning, or like you've lost the thread on what's worth caring about, this conversation offers a sturdier place to stand.Links & ResourcesThis episode is brought to you in part by our partner, Sunlighten, the company that has pioneered infrared sauna technology.

So many women in midlife are quietly carrying an exhausting belief: that their worth is something they have to earn—through productivity, perfection, and putting everyone else first.In this episode of Message in the Middle, Marianne is joined by registered social worker, meditation and breathwork teacher, and founder of The Self-Worth Solution, Ruth Hirshberg, for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, boundaries, and the hidden beliefs keeping so many high-achieving women stuck.Ruth shares why boundaries don't work when you don't believe you're allowed to have them, how survival mode becomes a “normal” way of living, and why trying to fix behaviors without addressing the beliefs underneath rarely leads to lasting change. Together, they explore what it really takes to separate your worth from your productivity—and why you don't need to become a different person to finally feel enough.Key Takeaways:Why so many women intellectually know they're worthy, but don't feel itHow early beliefs around “not enoughness” quietly shape our adult livesThe difference between treating symptoms and addressing root causesWhy boundaries collapse without a foundation of self-worthHow productivity became a stand-in for worth, and how to untangle itThe role breathwork and nervous system regulation play in healingWhy you don't need fixing, you need permission to stop proving yourselfIf you're tired of chasing validation, running on empty, or feeling like you're always falling short, this conversation offers permission to stop performing your worth and start owning it.Check out the Mini Meditation Marianne posted before the holidays: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938384/episodes/18207054Connect with Ruth: Face Book https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579052467890Website: https://www.groundingwithruth.comInstagram: @groundingwithruthLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruth-hirshberg Connect with Marianne: Website: Message In The Middle with Marianne Message In the Middle Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MessageInTheMiddle/playlists LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966 Email: Contact | Message In The Middle with Marianne Subscribe to Message In the Middle: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Leave Us a Review: If you enjoyed today's episode, please leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

If you've ever thought, “I know I should eat more… so why does the idea of it freak me out?” this episode is for you.Maybe you're rigid with calories or portions. Maybe you're constantly hungry, tired, or thinking about food.Maybe you're technically eating what you've been told is “enough,” but your body is saying otherwise.And yet, when you even think about eating more, your chest tightens.

In this episode, Erin speaks directly to women who are building something meaningful - a business, a career, a family, or a life they deeply care about - and feel the tension between ambition and exhaustion.We talk about why burnout doesn't always come from doing the wrong thing, but often from building from a place of urgency, self-doubt, or internal pressure. Erin explores how clarity, self-trust, and nervous system support create the conditions for sustainable growth - allowing your effort to actually compound instead of costing you your wellbeing.This episode is a grounded reflection on:why urgency can quietly sabotage growthhow overthinking replaces intuition when pressure is highwhat it really takes to build capacity for your next leveland how to grow your life and work without imploding or abandoning yourselfIf you're ambitious, capable, and invested in what you're creating — but no longer willing to sacrifice yourself to get there — this conversation is for you.At the end of the episode, Erin shares more about Well Within, a 6-week group experience for women who want to grow with clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.https://erintreloar.com/well-within-methodConnect with Erin:Instagram Website Support Our Sponsors: COWBOY COLOSTRUM - Use code RAWBEAUTYTALKS at CowboyColostrum.com for 25%offJONES ROAD BEAUTY - Get a free Cool Gloss on your first purchase when you use the code ERIN at checkout https://www.jonesroadbeauty.com/HELLOFRESH - Go to hellofresh.ca and use the code RAWBEAUTYTALKS for 50% off your next order.

Have you ever felt like you were doing everything “right” on your healing journey—only to find yourself right back in your old pain on your personal growth journey?Maybe you finally found a healing modality that worked. You felt grounded, regulated, even hopeful. And then one comment, one moment of disconnection, or one unexpected ending stirred something much deeper—bringing old wounds, loneliness, or abandonment back to the surface.In this deeply personal solo episode, I'm reintroducing myself—not just as your host, but as a woman actively in the midst of her own healing.I share openly about my recent breakup after a 3.5-year relationship, and how it activated an abandonment wound I've carried since childhood. Despite years of personal growth and trauma-informed work, I realized something important: healing isn't about finding the right tool—it's about going deeper into the body when old patterns resurface.That realization led me back to Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems (IFS)—two practices that helped me slow down, reconnect with my body, meet my protective parts with compassion, and begin rebuilding self-trust from the inside out and tend to an old abandonment wound that I've carried since childhood.Because the truth is: the only way to find joy again… is to go through the pain.In this episode, I share how nervous system regulation became the foundation for real trauma healing and helped me shift lifelong relationship patterns—how physical symptoms pointed the way forward, and how learning to stay with sensations (instead of avoiding it) expanded my capacity to feel, grieve, and eventually experience joy again.In this episode, you'll learn:What somatic healing looks like in everyday lifeWhy nervous system regulation is the gateway to deeper emotional healingHow Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work helped me relate differently to the parts that once helped me surviveHow healing childhood trauma can restore your capacity for joy.Why building tolerance for physical sensations is essential to trauma recoveryHow healing after divorce laid the foundation for healing after this breakup.What it means to fully grieve, feel, and slowly reconnect with yourselfIf you're navigating heartbreak, grief, or the confusion of feeling “set back” on your healing journey, this episode is a gentle reminder: nothing is wrong with you. Healing is not linear. Your body remembers. And your pace matters.Much love,LaurieClick here to fill out my Podcast survey for 2026.Click here to learn about my NEW “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Please leave me feedback.

The Breakdown Before the BreakthroughThere are moments in history that change everything. We're living in one right now.In this solo episode of Raw & Unscripted, Christopher Rausch speaks straight from the heart — no script, no polish, no filters — about the massive global shift humanity is experiencing and what it means for each of us personally.Just like the world-shaking moment of Covid, we're once again in uncertain territory. And here's the truth most only see in hindsight: The seasons that feel the hardest often become the ones that change us for the better.Catch the Videocast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBNp5ZHULRQYet mental health is at an all-time low. Medication is at an all-time high. Loneliness is rising. Division is everywhere. Something is off — and it's time we talk about it honestly.This isn't about fear. - It's about awareness. - Connection. - And remembering that we were never meant to do life alone.What you'll hear in this episode:Why painful seasons often become our greatest turning pointsHow global uncertainty can either divide or unite usWhy reaching out matters more now than everHow curiosity replaces fear in times of changeSimple ways to lift others when you feel stretched yourselfIf you've been feeling unsettled… disconnected… or quietly asking, “What is happening to the world?”This conversation is for you.Because now — we rise together.Are you subscribed to the podcast?

Send us a textHiieee. I'm back…And honestly… I didn't plan to be away this long.But something in me needed silence. Needed space. Needed nothing.Because if you'd asked me even a few weeks ago how I felt about 2025, I would have said I was more than ready to burn it to the ground.And look… that wasn't totally wrong.But after a month of blank space, nature walks, long lazy beach days, and doing random little things simply because they felt good (a concept!)… my relationship to the year softened.Not because it was “easy” or “beautiful” - it wasn't.But because I can finally see what it actually did to me. What it cracked open. What it initiated me into. And what I'm absolutely not taking with me into 2026.This episode is a very vulnerable and off-the-cuff reflection on what last year really held behind the scenes.The shadow stuff. The identity stuff. The nervous system stuff.The “I don't even recognise who tf I am any more” kinda stuff.And I'm sharing the first part of what I'm carrying into 2026… not in a goals/resolutions way- at ALL - more like guiding lights. Like anchors. Like devotion.Because if there's one thing I KNOW this year is asking from me it's more unfiltered truth, so let's buckle up and dive in.In part 1 of this 2 part episode series I'm sharing: ✨ Why 2025 felt like a full-blown identity death (and why I'm weirdly grateful now) ✨ What changed after a month of silence + space ✨ The difference between forcing your life vs letting life move through you ✨ Why I'm not doing goals / a word of the year / a 47-step vision board plan in 2026 ✨ The first thing I'm prioritising this year ✨ Why “capacity” is the real reason you receive more (or don't) ✨ How to meet a new year differently, without pressure, pretending or abandoning yourselfIf 2025 cracked you open too… if you've felt tender, disillusioned, confused, reborn… or like the old version of you just doesn't fit anymore…I hope this is the medicine your soul needs today.Let's Connect

This is not a parent-shaming conversation. It's about clarity, compassion, and naming invisible dynamics so you can stop blaming yourself for struggles that were never yours to fix.What You'll LearnWhy emotional loneliness is a defining experience for many adult childrenWhat “emotional immaturity” actually looks like in parentsHow people-pleasing, caretaking, and guilt develop as survival strategiesWhy setting boundaries often triggers backlash—and how to respondHow guilt can be a sign of emotional coercion, not wrongdoingWhat it means to emotionally disengage and reclaim space for yourselfIf you've ever felt like you're the problem in your family, struggled with guilt around boundaries, or exhausted yourself managing other people's emotions—this episode is for you.Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents — Dr. Lindsay GibsonRecovering from Emotionally Immature Parents — Dr. Lindsay Gibsondrlindsaygibson.comWatch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?
