You've done the work.You're self-aware.You can explain everyone's behavior in the situation…So why do you still feel triggered, exhausted, or quietly resentful?In this episode, Alicia breaks down why insight alone doesn't calm a dysregulated nervous system — and why high-functioning, emotionally intelligent stepmoms often struggle more, not less.This conversation is for the stepmom who:understands what's happening but still feels overwhelmedprides herself on being “the calm one”keeps asking, “Why isn't this working if I know better?”Alicia explores how self-awareness can accidentally turn into self-pressure, why explaining your feelings doesn't regulate them, and how emotional maturity has been confused with emotional suppression.Key takeaways from this episode:Why capable stepmoms struggle more than they expect toThe trap of “If I understand it, I won't feel it”How being self-aware can turn into being hard on yourselfWhy insight ≠ nervous system regulationHow unprocessed feelings quietly turn into resentmentIf you've ever thought, “I shouldn't feel this way anymore,” this episode will gently (and lovingly) call that out.
Send us a textIn this week's episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing a deeply personal realization about how long I treated myself like a project instead of a person, and how learning to tolerate ease required far more courage than pushing ever did.This episode isn't about productivity, optimization, or mindset. It's about what happens when compassion reaches places that pressure never could, and how shame begins to release when the nervous system finally feels contextualized and safe.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:How treating yourself like a project quietly creates an internal atmosphere of evaluation and self-judgmentThe difference between using practices to support yourself versus using them to correct yourselfWhy avoidance and procrastination are often protection, not self-sabotageHow fear is information, not prophecy, and why it doesn't get to run your lifeWhat changes when something that lived wordlessly in the body is finally met with language, compassion, and boundariesYou're not failing at ease. You're learning to tolerate it.And that learning isn't about doing more or getting it right faster. It's about creating enough internal safety to inhabit your own life without urgency, self-attack, or shame.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes for reflections, recovery insights, and gentle reminders that real change happens through context, not force.Thank you for listening.

Together, Rachel and Stephanie explore why true healing doesn't come from bypassing pain — but from meeting it with presence, compassion, and courage.This episode dives into:The dangers of spiritual bypassing and why positivity alone doesn't heal traumaHow dreams act as a direct line to the subconscious and soul wisdomReclaiming personal power through inner work, self-care, and emotional responsibilityHealing trauma without abandoning yourselfWhy authenticity is the gateway to fulfillment, purpose, and aligned relationshipsHow your healing ripples outward and impacts the collectiveStephanie brings grounded psychological insight together with spiritual depth, reminding us that healing isn't about fixing yourself — it's about remembering who you are beneath the conditioning.If you're on a spiritual path and craving real integration, emotional truth, and embodied healing (not spiritual fluff), this conversation will meet you right where you are — and gently call you forward.✨ Tune in and let this episode support you in reclaiming your inner authority, honoring your truth, and allowing your healing to become a light for others.

Send us a textThe phrase “Let them” is everywhere right now — shared as empowerment, detachment, and emotional maturity.But what happens when letting them becomes a way of silencing yourself?In this episode of Beyond This…, I explore the popular Let Them Theory, often associated with Mel Robbins, and gently unpack where it can be helpful — and where it can quietly lead to self-abandonment, emotional bypassing, and nervous-system override.This is not an attack on the idea of letting go of control.It's an invitation to slow the conversation down.In this episode, we explore:The original intention behind Let ThemHow detachment can turn into emotional avoidanceWhy silencing your needs isn't emotional maturityThe difference between empowerment and indifferenceHow to honour boundaries without disconnecting from yourselfWhy your nervous system matters in relational dynamicsThe missing half of the conversation: Let MeThe episode closes with a short grounding exercise to help you return to your body, your truth, and your sense of self-trust.This conversation is for anyone who has tried to be “unbothered” while feeling anxious, unseen, or small — and wondered if there might be another way.Take what resonates.Leave the rest.And listen at your own pace.As always Matilda ends each episode with an energy update and coming predictions.Global MeditationMatilda's WebsitePatreonEmbody MentorshipEmbody Group MentorshipTikTokYou TubeIntimate Mediumship Group
In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on some uncomfortable truths I've been noticing lately - about self-improvement, manifestation culture, and constant content consumption - and how, when taken too far, they can quietly erode your self-confidence instead of building it. This is a candid, reflective conversation about discernment, personal power, and remembering that you are not broken, behind, or missing anything.Here's what we explore in this episode:How personal development can unintentionally reinforce the belief that you're “not enough yet”Why over-consuming podcasts, content, and coaching advice can block intuition and self-trustThe subtle ways manifestation “rules” turn into pressure, fear, and perfectionismHow marketing and social media can quietly chip away at confidence if you're not discerningThe difference between healthy growth and constantly trying to fix yourselfWhy self-trust, not more information, is the real foundation of confidenceHow identity work can feel expansive instead of heavy, exhausting, or never-endingThe shift from “what do I need to heal?” to “what if I'm already enough to receive?”If this episode resonates, let it be an invitation to slow down, tune inward, and clean up what you're consuming - not because you need to be better, but because you deserve to feel grounded, confident, and at peace with who you already are.

Hard situations are unavoidable — family stress, grief, shared responsibilities, conflict, holidays, work projects, or major life transitions. What is optional is letting those moments damage the relationships that matter most.In this episode of This Daring Adventure, we explore how to move through hard situations without losing connection, compassion, or yourself in the process.This episode offers a grounded, practical framework for navigating emotionally charged situations with intention and care.Rather than focusing on fixing others or controlling outcomes, this conversation centers on self-leadership: managing your thoughts, processing emotions, allowing discomfort, and choosing how you want to show up — again and again.This episode is for anyone who wants to build strong relationships, even when life feels messy, heavy, or overwhelming.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeIn this episode, I share 10 principles to help you navigate hard situations while protecting and strengthening your relationships:Why setting an intention for the relationship changes everythingHow the story you tell yourself shapes your emotional experienceHow to choose how you want to show up — regardless of others' behaviorWhy rehearsal and visualization help you respond instead of reactHow to release control over others and reclaim control over yourselfWhy discomfort is not a problem — it's part of meaningful connectionHow processing emotions regularly prevents resentment and burnoutThe role of compassion for both yourself and the other personWhy this work must be practiced repeatedly, not onceHow to recover when you mess up and begin again without self-judgmentKey Topics CoveredNavigating relationships during stressful or emotional situationsManaging family dynamics and conflictEmotional regulation and intentional livingPersonal growth during hard seasonsCompassion, boundaries, and self-leadershipHow to stay connected under pressureReflection QuestionsWhat hard situation or relationship am I currently navigating?What do I want the relationship to look and feel like when this is over?What story am I telling about the other person — and is it helping me?How do I want to show up when things feel uncomfortable?

In this episode, we sit down with Kellen Matthews-Thompson – Philly runner, content creator, father, husband, and the founder of Recovery Run Club. Before his life revolved around miles, marathons, and community, Kellen spent over a decade in the grip of opioid addiction. He began using in his teens, eventually turning to IV drugs in his twenties. His life unraveled – until a doctor in treatment connected the dots between the chemistry of the runner's high and the brain's need for relief. Something clicked.From that moment, Kellen started running. First one mile. Then another. Then a hundred.Literally – he went on to win a 100-mile ultramarathon and run a marathon every month in 2024 to raise awareness for recovery.Today, Kellen uses running as a bridge – not just for himself, but for others. Recovery Run Club is just one example of how Kellen uses his growing online presence to raise awareness and inspire hope around recovery. There's a special kind of resonance in this conversation – because Zac is a born-and-raised Philly guy who found his own way back through recovery, service, and showing up for other people. Two men who rebuilt their lives from the inside out. Two men who know what it means to choose a different kind of hard.We talk about:Running as an entryway to emotional regulation and self-beliefLove as the key ingredient to helping others find recovery The loneliness of early recovery and how community closes the gapFatherhood after addictionBuilding something that serves people instead of just saving yourselfWhy running is such a powerful tool in recovery for so manyThis is a conversation about movement, identity, and returning to yourself — one mile, one day, one choice at a time.Kellen: @kellenrunsphillyRecovery Run Club: @recoveryrunclubConnect with Zachttps://www.instagram.com/zwclark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclarkhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553https://twitter.com/zacwclarkIf you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release Recovery:(914) 588-6564releaserecovery.com@releaserecovery

In this jam-packed episode of Worldview Legacy, Joel Settecase explores the deep questions that define who we are and how we live. What does it mean to be made in the image of God? Why are young men in Gen Z facing a crisis of identity?

There are the stories we tell out loud, and then there are the ones we keep tucked away—the ones that ache the most, because we've carried them in silence.On this episode of On Health, we're breaking the silence—and the stigma—around some of the most vulnerable, hidden experiences women carry: miscarriage, illness, identity loss, perfectionism, aging, and the loneliness so many of us feel but rarely name.I'm joined by the phenomenal Dr. Jessica Zucker, clinical psychologist and author of the groundbreaking memoir I Had a Miscarriage, and her latest book, Normalize It, which is just what we need: an invitation to stop apologizing for what we're going through—and start talking about it.Together, we explore:How grief grows in silence—and thrives in stigmaWhat it means when you don't feel like yourselfWhy midlife isn't a decline—it's a reckoningWhat being a “good girl” has cost usWhy loneliness is a serious health issueWhy we are more than what we doHow perfectionism is stealing our joyThis one's for all the women tired of pretending they're fine.Who are aching to be seen.Who are ready to stop carrying the weight alone.Looking for supplements for yourself and your family, including some of those I talk about in episodes?
