Send us a text One of the most common themes I see in my clients (and something I have experienced myself) is that we literally feel other people’s feelings. We’re permeable to them because we don’t have a boundary. This week’s episode 318 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go from permeable to protected- building an emotional force field. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing how, through setting healthy boundaries, you can create an energetic force field that keeps you from absorbing other people’s emotions and protects your inner peace! If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed by others' emotions and ready to create meaningful boundaries, this episode is your first step towards emotional freedom. Take a moment to reflect on your own emotional patterns and consider how setting healthy boundaries can transform your life, one intentional choice at a time.

Send us a text Many of us find ourselves in this delusional thinking that the outside world could give us satisfaction, if only things went our way. The truth? There is no external solution to internal pain, and it only brings you deeper into a victim mentality. This week’s episode 317 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about why controlling everything still doesn’t make you feel better! In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing my insights about the dangerous illusion of external control and its impact on recovery and how, through internal healing and self-acceptance, we can find serenity. Identify one area where you're trying to control external circumstances. Instead, turn your focus inward and ask yourself, "What can I change about myself?" Remember, you can't control the world, but you can always control your response to it.

Send us a text Recovery showed me that I abused and neglected myself physically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually. I stayed in relationships and workplaces that were toxic, and I put up with abuse from bosses, colleagues, sweethearts, and others. This was all because I had this internalized belief from my family that you just put up with things like that. It wasn’t until I was reading the ACA ( Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families ) Big Red Book and read about backfilling the love you didn’t get as a child that I realized I could make a change. This week’s episode 316 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to backfill the love you didn’t get as a child! In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing how recovery has taught me to backfill the love I was missing from my childhood and how you, too, can rewrite your emotional narratives, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate deep self-love. Your childhood doesn't define your future. By committing to inner healing, you can break generational cycles and create the emotional support you always needed.

Send us a text People tend to hear the motto “keep the docus on yourself” and think it means “be selfish.” That could not be further from the truth. It’s actually about stopping your focus on what other people, places, and things are doing (or not doing) and turning that focus inward . This week’s episode 315 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about the number one boundary-setting rule: keep the focus on yourself. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing what it really means to keep the focus on yourself and 5 actionable pieces of advice you can take to start practicing this today. Your journey to wholeness begins with turning the focus inward. Start today by asking yourself what you truly want, need, and prefer. Remember, you are a unique "peach" - not everyone will like you, and that's exactly how it should be.

Send us a text Before recovery, I had no idea how many areas of my life I didn’t even perceive as having a choice in. I thought, ‘This is just the way it is; this is just how life works.’ But one of the greatest freedoms recovery has given me is learning that I actually do have choices, and the greatest of those freedoms is the freedom to choose what I think and believe. This week’s episode 313 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go from victim mentality to empowered living! In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I share how I went from feeling powerless to living an empowered life by recognizing that I have choices! I delve into the concept of victim mentality, how our internalized beliefs can limit our choices and keep us feeling trapped in destructive patterns, and ultimately, how to choose peace and intentionality over reactivity. I encourage you to start by identifying one area in your life where you've been playing the victim. Make a conscious choice today to approach that situation with intention, personal responsibility, and hope.

Send us a text For much of my life, I've known that one of my most hated human characteristics is arrogance. So, imagine my surprise when I learned in recovery that I was arrogant. Recovery also helped me understand that I hated it because it was something in me that I didn't like. And you know what we say in recovery: you spot it, you got it, and often, if you're spotting something regularly in other people, it's because you have it and probably don't like it. This week’s episode 312 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about the humbling truth behind my need to rescue and how I got out of it. Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include: Recovery helped me realize that my desire to help others stemmed from the need for control and superiority. Pointing out the different types of arrogance: intellectual, moral, spiritual, and social. Strategies for overcoming the need to rescue or fix others (including some language to use when doing so). I encourage you to reflect on your own "helping" behaviors. Are you truly supporting others or subtly trying to control outcomes?

Send us a text When my homeless friend moved in with me, we often listened to music instead of NPR, which was typical for me at the time. I came to realize that replacing politics with music shifted my mood drastically. When I was no longer filling my ears with the horrible things happening in our world, I noticed how much more at peace I felt and how much of a game changer this was for me. This week’s episode 311 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about choosing peace over panic- why I stopped watching the news. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing my transformative journey of prioritizing my mental health by stepping away from constant news consumption, some options if you want to limit your news intake, but don’t want to be kept out of the loop completely, and a prayer you can read before watching the news should you choose to do so. A Prayer Before Reading the News Written by Rabbi Irwin Keller in early 2016 My God, the soul you have placed in me is pure and vulnerable. I am afraid that looking at today’s news will be painful. Encircle me in a robe of light so that I can witness the wounds of the world without being wounded myself. Let me learn what I need to know In order to be of greatest use without being overwhelmed by despair. I feel your protective light now as I open myself to the world’s suffering and the world’s joys. Amen Remember, you are not obligated to be constantly informed about every world event. Your mental peace is more important than feeling perpetually anxious about things outside your control. Take a moment to evaluate how news consumption affects your daily life, and give yourself permission to make changes that support your emotional wellness.

Send us a text For some of us who struggle with addiction, we’re using our addiction to fill some type of hole we’re feeling. Today’s guest, Mark, was using his compulsive, addictive behaviors in an attempt to fill a “God-sized hole” in his life. He shares with us how recovery and finding his higher power has helped him fill that hole and soar beyond what he ever believed possible. This week’s episode 310 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about Mark’s story: it’s hard to get off the ground when your wings are cut! In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, Mark shares his profound journey through various addictions and the transformative power the 12-step program had on his path to healing. Some of the talking points Mark I go over in this episode include: Mark’s lifelong journey of using compulsive behaviors to fill a hole in his life. Addiction is often a symptom of deeper emotional wounds. Spiritual growth involves right-sizing your life and practicing humility. Recovery is about letting go and unlearning things so we can thrive, not just survive. Mark's journey demonstrates that no matter how dark your past, transformation is possible. If you're struggling with compulsive behaviors or feeling trapped, remember that hope exists. Take the first step by reaching out to a 12-step program or seeking support from professionals who understand your journey.

Send us a text Regardless of how long I have been working with clients as a boundaries coach, I am still amazed by the mind-blowing revelations my clients have as a result of working with me. Today, I am sharing one of these profound experiences by sharing a story from “Sylvia,” one of my clients who confidently took back ownership of her life. This week’s episode 308 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go beyond ‘woe is me’- Sylvia’s powerful shift to self-ownership. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing a story from a client call where, with the help of boundaries coaching, “Sylvia” was able to overcome years of trauma, workplace challenges, and personal struggles to emerge stronger and more confident. Some key takeaways I go over in this episode include: You have the right to set boundaries because you get to live your life the way YOU want. You don’t have to engage with people who have hurt you. You don’t need to explain yourself to everyone. You own your narrative; other people don’t get to tell you who you are or were. Give yourself grace, treating yourself as you would a beloved friend. Sylvia's story is a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to change our narratives and reclaim our power– and that's something we can all learn from.

Send us a text For years, I thought emotional unavailability happened to me, not something I actively participated in. Spoiler alert: I was dead wrong. Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on my journey from emotional unavailability to emotional availability and how recovery helped me understand and embrace my own feelings and the feelings of others. This week’s episode 306 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to unpack emotional unavailability- my journey to feeling my feelings (and yours). In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing what it looked like for me to be emotionally unavailable and practical steps to become more emotionally available, feeling your feelings and giving space for others to do the same. Your emotional journey is a continuous process of growth and self-discovery. Start today by being curious about your feelings and treating yourself with the same compassion you would offer a dear friend. Remember, becoming emotionally available is not about perfection but about progress and self-understanding.
