Interview with Dr. Alisha Guthery: From Surviving to Healing: A Conversation on Safety, Presence & Healing 54:13

15 days ago54:13

54:13

In this episode, we explore the heart of trauma work—not by focusing solely on the events themselves, but on the lasting impact they leave in our bodies. Trauma disconnects us from the present moment, often leaving us feeling unsafe in our own lives. But what if healing begins with reclaiming our ability to be fully present? Together, we’ll talk about how practicing presence can gently rewire the effects of trauma and expand our sense of safety—one moment at a time. Whether the trauma is political, interpersonal, or institutional, the common thread is the loss of safety and connection. This episode is an invitation to begin rebuilding those foundations, slowly and kindly, from the inside out. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's about really understanding and kind of figuring out the parts of your life that you are escaping because of the trauma. Practice doing something differently and notice how you feel. When we have our trauma lens on, we see what the trauma allows us to see, and we don't see anything else. We don't see the possibility or the opportunity. Everything survivors do is the skill of surviving. Sometimes surviving works against our ability to imagine. I call it being cloaked. If you weren't cloaked, then you would have to see. And it's so painful to see. Generational trauma is through missed opportunity of connection. So, because I was traumatized, I was now lost in attunement to my child. And so, it's missed opportunity of connection, missed opportunity of regulation, missed opportunity of co-regulation, missed opportunity of deep attunement to a child who really deserves all my attention. And when I am too traumatized to be able to attune, then the impact on them is great on their nervous system. And so to me, that's one way through attachment, that's one way that that trauma continues. Because now I've reshaped my child's nervous system by not attuning. Well, and then the great thing that we also have just as humans is the ability to continue to grow, have neuroplasticity, nothing is ever not changeable, really. BEST MOMENTS That stubborn decision — to keep getting up — saved me more times than I can count. Life life’s all the time. Even under the best of circumstances, it's stressful. I wonder if you could imagine that you’re not the problem. We are here to care for and be in relationship with others.

Designed for Hope: Interview with Jon Tunheim 40:29

6 weeks ago40:29

40:29

We can choose hope regardless of the environment we are in. We are wired and designed to be hopeful! We are wired to use our imagination to look at our future and create memories of that future and then think strategically about how to achieve our future goals. Hope is contagious too! We can connect with other hopeful people. Those that are always looking positively at the future and openly talking about - and chasing - their goals. It’s inspiring. And transfers hope – we become more hopeful by engaging with them. We learn how to be hopeful by watching them. Thanks Jon Tunheim for your wisdom and insights! KEY TAKEAWAYS Hope is a choice. You can learn to be hopeful and strengthen your hope skills. Here are the steps: See the future Set a goal Create strategies and pathways to move towards the goal Vary the pathway according to the obstacles you meet Use motivation and willpower to move forward and achieve that goal BEST MOMENTS It is hard to be a narcissist when you learn young that hope is believing in yourself, believing in others, and believing in your dreams. –Chan Hellman and Casey Gwinn Hope is not a step in life, it is a stance. It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. –Fredrick Douglass VALUABLE RESOURCES If you’re struggling in a relationship and wondering if it might be controlling, you’re not alone.

I’m so thrilled to have Molly Mandelberg as a guest on this episode. Molly is everything that Life After stands for; after a rough childhood, she chose to make her life what it is today including a healthy relationship and thriving business. And, she works with others to create and build world changing missions. KEY TAKEAWAYS When getting out of a relationship with a narcissist: You can make changes in the patterns you know.

Writing is a useful way to process what’s happening to you and confirms the behaviors and patterns of the narcissist. BEST MOMENTS Amazong quotes from Molly in this episode: “I definitely had a knowing.” “It’s not until we fully acknowledge that pattern that we’re able to hopefully break our way out of it.” “It’s gonna have to get a little bit uncomfortable to get out of that pattern.” “If this is a cycle that keeps continuining, do you wanna give it one year of your life? Do you wanna give it six years of your life? Do you wanna give it nine years of your life and maybe end up having his kids and being tied to him forever?” VALUABLE RESOURCES You can reach Molly at: Instagram.com/wild_one_rising and instagram.com/magicfacilitation If you’re struggling in a relationship and wondering if it might be controlling, you’re not alone.

Breaking Free: Ditch Limiting Beliefs & Fear for Good 34:20

13 weeks ago34:20

34:20

Your mindset can be impacted by limiting beliefs, fear and anxiety. Discover tips and tricks to change your limiting beliefs and mitigate or minimize your fear and anxiety so you can shift your mindset and achieve your dreams! We choose our mindset, and it’s much easier to do when we let go of our limiting beliefs and release our fears! KEY TAKEAWAYS Quick ways to reduce fear and anxiety which will help improve mindset. Focus on your breathing – breathing deeply compels our body to physically calm itself. Make sure that your exhale is longer than your inhale. Journal/write – keep track of how you are feeling/experiencing your fear for a couple of weeks. What patterns emerge? Writing the details down can help demystify your fears, thereby making them more manageable. Practice mindfulness – use what you learned in writing about your fears to become aware of your fears. Observe. Being passive raises your self-awareness and prevents you from doing the things you typically do when feeling the fear. Get out into nature – talk a walk outside. Being in nature is calming, reduces stress, and changes our moods, which all helps to shift our mindset. BEST MOMENTS Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry -- all forms of fear -- are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. –Eckhart Tolle We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear. – Martin Luther King Jr. The more you study delight, the more delight there is to study...I felt my life to be more full of delight. Not without sorrow or fear or pain or loss. But more full of delight. – Ross Gay In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair. – Howard Thurman VALUABLE RESOURCES If you’re struggling in a relationship and wondering if it might be controlling, you’re not alone.

Embracing Anger: How to Harness Its Purpose and Power 18:24

41 weeks ago18:24

18:24

We are taught that anger is “bad”. It’s not! No emotion or feeling is bad. They all have a purpose and anger is no different. Anger is often the surface emotion of a feeling or feelings that we’re feeling under the surface. So don’t be afraid of your anger. That said, don’t hide from it either. What is happening that is making you feel angry? Let your anger tell you what’s happening underneath your other emotions. Let your anger help you take the action you need to change what isn’t working in your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Anger is a secondary emotion. The primary underlying emotions for anger are fear, loss, sadness, and shame. There are three main approaches to manage your anger: Express your anger in a healthy, assertive way; not aggressively. Suppress your anger, again in a positive way, where you convert your anger – i.e. – take a positive action – or redirect it and focus on something positive. Use calming techniques to calm down internally, like breathing techniques. BEST MOMENTS Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath. -Eckhart Tolle Anger is a sign that something needs to change. – unknown Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. -Buddha It’s a lot easier to be angry at someone than it is to tell them you’re hurt. -Tom Gates Tears of despair can be fuel. Thunders of anger can be light. -Maxime Legace Anger expressed in a healthy and positive way means that we channel emotional anger towards resolution not attack. -Byron R.

Honoring Your Grief: The Journey of Loss and Healing 17:10

17:10

Grief is so intertwined with so many parts of our life that it can get lost in the day to day. It impacts us in such a way that we often, without really knowing why, are just getting by. Be patient with yourselves, and others. The grieving process has no timeline. Some losses you will process and move through within a few weeks. Other losses will stay with you for a long time, many years in some cases. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ways to move through the grieving process: Acknowledge your pain.

This episode is about emotions and feelings. Are they really different? All evidence indicates yes. This episode is going to ensure that we keep learning, and in the process, growing, so that we can identify our own emotions and/or feelings and manage them both in a kind and loving manner.

From Crazy-Making to Clarity: Understanding Narcissist Tactics 22:55

Your narcissist thrives on gaslighting you. That leads you to look “crazy” or paranoid, both to yourself and others. Because narcissists are so good at wearing their masks, it takes time to figure out what you’re dealing with, and then takes time and strategy to show others what’s really happening. Our legal and family court systems are not equipped to identify or handle extreme narcissists. Finally, there are 8 types of post separation abuse (from Tina Swithin). I encourage you to learn more about them so you can protect yourself, or support someone going through it! KEY TAKEAWAYS There is hope!

How Narcissists Make You Feel: Clues to Protect Yourself 23:32

23:32

Narcissist relationships aren’t just with our significant other, spouse, partner, etc. They can happen with any kind of relationship. And once we’ve attracted a narcissist once, particularly if it’s been a significant relationship, unfortunately, we will continue that pattern, until we know the signs and then act on them! This episode helps you identify how you feel when you are in a relationship with a narcissist, so you can learn to identify those signs early and decide what actions you need to take given the specific situation you are in. KEY TAKEAWAYS 5 ways to identify you have a narcissist in your life Everything is your fault You feel like you’ve lost yourself You can’t do anything right You feel afraid… (almost) all the time You make yourself smaller… to make someone else feel bigger BEST MOMENTS When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others see you. The misinformation will feel unfair, but you stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth just like you did.” ― Jill Blakeway You will never really see how toxic someone is until you breathe fresher air.” — Unknown A narcissist paints a picture of themselves as being the victim or innocent in all aspects. They will be offended by the truth. But what is done in the dark will come to light. Time has a way of showing people’s true colors.” — Karla Grimes There is simply no winning with a narcissist. He will treat you so horribly that you will become withdrawn and depressed and then he will turn around and say, ‘You’re no fun anymore, you’re always so depressed. I need to be with someone more positive.’" — Susan Williams You might as well bang your head into a brick wall if you expect the narcissist to be reasonable, empathetic or human in any way. If you sense or witness any of these traits, there is an ulterior motive. When the narcissist is being nice, it’s because they have something to gain.” — Tina Swithin Relationship with a narcissist in a nutshell: You will go from being the perfect love of their life, to nothing you do is ever good enough. You will give your everything and they will take it all and give you less and less in return. You will end up depleted, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and probably financially, and then get blamed for it.” — Bree Bonchay VALUABLE RESOURCES If you’re struggling in a relationship and wondering if it might be controlling, you’re not alone.

And certainly, more often, others don’t realize we are in a relationship with a narcissist. Now, this can be any kind of relationship - friendship, co-worker, parent, or intimate partner. In my experience, they are all difficult for different reasons, however the more intimate the relationship, the more damaging it ends up being. And, more importantly, the harder it gets to extricate yourself from the relationship. The process can take much longer, and needs way more strategy than you think it will. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s really important to understand that narcissism happens on a spectrum. And we all fall on that spectrum somewhere. A little narcissism can be healthy. What we are talking about here, though, is pathological narcissism that’s happening at the extreme end of the spectrum. Don’t try to “fix” everything in your relationship. It’s not your responsibility. The narcissist is playing a game and the only way to not engage. Consider who you are talking to BEST MOMENTS There is simply no winning with a narcissist. He will treat you so horribly that you will become withdrawn and depressed and then he will turn around and say, You’re no fun anymore, you’re always so depressed. I need to be with someone more positive. –Susan Williams, writer The best way to upset a narcissist is by ignoring him. –J.B. Snow, writer Narcissists are all about image. They create a false self for the external world to see – which often comes across as charming, moralistic, kind, considerate, and “perfect”. Meanwhile, behind closed doors they are the world’s biggest hypocrites. They will pathologically lie, cheat, verbally assault, and completely destroy their family with zero remorse. What you see, is NOT what you get behind closed doors. –healing.after.a.narcissist Nobody gets more upset than a narcissist who is accused of something they absolutely did. –notsalmon.com When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others see you. The misinformation will feel unfair, but stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth just like you did. –Jill Blakeway VALUABLE RESOURCES If you’re struggling in a relationship and wondering if it might be controlling, you’re not alone.

Overcoming the Noise: Conquering Fear & Self-Worth Doubts 17:29

2 years ago17:29

17:29

This is our second episode about fear and those little gremlin voices we all have in our heads. In episode #16 we talked about the first two fear gremlins: fear of dreaming and fear of failure. In this episode, we’ll talk about the other two fear gremlins, the fear of upsetting people and conflict identification, which translates into thinking “I don’t matter” or “I’m not enough”. Remember, we all have those nagging little voices in our heads that tell us what we can’t do, what we shouldn’t do, and in the case of fear of upsetting people, what we have to do to keep others happy. Those are our little gremlins. And they often keep us from doing exactly what we want in life. In this episode, we’ll talk more about them and how to quiet their, sometimes incessant, noise. KEY TAKEAWAYS We always have the capacity to change! Belonging is an incredibly important human trait. If making others “happy” wasn’t your primary focus, how would your life look differently? Always be mindful because what you tell your brain, your brain believes. BEST MOMENTS I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. –Nelson Mandela Your life does not get better by chance; it gets better by change. –Jim Rohn Perhaps the most radical act of resistance in the face of adversity is to live joyfully. –Ari Honorvar We learn to do by doing. –Denzel Washington VALUABLE RESOURCES If you’re struggling in a relationship and wondering if it might be controlling, you’re not alone.

Episode #17 - Special Guest Interview with Arya Harris Keller 36:08

2 years ago36:08

36:08

It was my great pleasure to interview my dear friend, Arya Harris Keller. Arya is the Founder of This Goddess Life LLC. Here's a little bit about Arya: I have a BA (Hon) from the University of Toronto. I considered a career in academia but chose to become an adoptive mom to two children instead. My son has Written Output and Generalized Anxiety Disorders and my daughter has Reactive Attachment Disorder. Like most Special Parents, I have dedicated significant time – years – to researching and understanding my kids’ issues, making me an unofficial expert of sorts. I also have a lifelong interest in spirituality and personal development. After a kundalini awakening experience, I found some amazing and profound teachers, who set me on the path of yoga, Enlightenment Intensives and Mind Clearing. I love how Mind Clearing has a foundation in deep spiritual truth, but it remains secular, practical, and relevant to everyday life. I originally studied Mind Clearing to be a better mom, but I found my passion in this transformational work. For the last 10 years I have been giving and receiving sessions regularly while raising my family. I believe that behind every good Clearer is a good Clearer. I walk my talk. It is my sacred honor to offer Mind Clearing to others and to support them on their journey. Please reach out to Arya for her free gift or for more details about the work she's doing with Special Moms and Dads at arya@ThisGoddessLife.net You can also find Arya on FB at Arya Jennifer Harris Keller - https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.harris.9216778…

Quieting the Gremlins: Taking Back Control 14:50

2 years ago14:50

14:50

We all have those nagging little voices in our heads that tell us what we can’t do, what we shouldn’t do. Those are our little gremlins. And they often keep us from doing exactly what we want in life. In this episode, and the next, we’re going to talk about those little gremlins and what we can do to quiet their noise. KEY TAKEAWAYS We often think that this is our voice telling us what we can’t do. However, that voice didn’t start as your own. That voice started from someone in your past; maybe a parent, or a teacher, or a friend, family member, coach, or maybe even a bully. And something that was said to you stuck in your brain and you took ownership of it and because you said it again and again to yourself, it became your own little gremlin voice. The good news about this is that when you recognize that it isn’t your voice, that it originated from someone else, you can change it, you can quiet it down. BEST MOMENTS Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear. –George Addair Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out. –Benjamin Franklin F-E-A-R has two meanings. “Forget Everything and Run” or “Face Everything and Rise”. The Choice is Yours. –Zig Ziglar Thinking will not overcome fear but action will. –W.

Hope Theory: How Choosing Hope Transforms Your Life 15:18

2 years ago15:18

15:18

In this episode, we are going to talk about Hope and Hope Theory and the importance of cultivating hope in your life. The last quote by Christopher Reeve, “once you choose hope, anything’s possible”, is the foundation of this episode. Having hope, creating hope, openness towards hope, is a choice that we can all make, at any time. As we’ll see, making that choice makes all the difference in the world. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hope has three distinct parts according to Richard Snyder: goals, agency and pathways. Goals are the “cornerstone of hope”. Agency, also known as willpower, is what keeps you believing you can achieve your goals as well as stay motivated to reach those goals. Pathways, or waypower, are the routes you choose to take in reaching your goals. When one pathway doesn’t end up working, you troubleshoot and problem solve to find a new pathway. BEST MOMENTS The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination, and the energy to get started. –Norman Cousins Hope is not blind optimism. It’s not ignoring the enormity of the tasks ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path…Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it and to work for it and to fight for it. ― Barack Obama Once you choose hope, anything’s possible. ― Christopher Reeve VALUABLE RESOURCES If you’re struggling in a relationship and wondering if it might be controlling, you’re not alone.

Why Conflict Isn’t the Enemy—And How to Handle It Better 14:22

2 years ago14:22

14:22

In this episode, we are going to talk about Conflict and Conflict Styles. Conflict is inevitable, so understanding it and becoming more willing to effectively, kindly, safely and courageously lean in to resolving conflict allows for being more proactive when it happens. The thing about conflict is that we are often so afraid to engage in any kind of conflict because most of us view it as yelling and screaming and fighting. However, conflict is really just two people with different ideas or perspectives. We can’t ever completely eliminate conflict from our lives, so I’ll also be giving you some ideas on how to manage it more effectively. We’ll put together all the parts of conflict, including the elements, as well as the causes of conflict and conflict styles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 5 causes of conflict: Relationship – strong emotions, poor or miscommunication, misperceptions or stereotypes, and past history are indicators. Data – which is characterized by misinformation or lack of information, different interpretation of data, and differing views on what’s relevant Interests – this is perceived or actual competition; and substantive, procedural, or psychological interests Structural – focuses on unequal control, access, or distribution of resources and information; unequal power and authority, environmental factors that hinder cooperation, and time constraints And finally, Values – which is different criteria for evaluating ideas or behavior; or different ways of life, ideology, and religion BEST MOMENTS Peace is not the absence of conflict. It’s the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means. ― Ronald Reagan The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them. ―Thomas Crum Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ―Winston Churchill VALUABLE RESOURCES If you’re struggling in a relationship and wondering if it might be controlling, you’re not alone.

Good communication means that: People feel listened to and heard Others understand them Essential information gets to the people who need it when they need it And it speaks both to the content of the message and the relationship of those communicating with each other KEY TAKEAWAYS Barriers: For the sender these can include the message being unclear, indirect, untimely, or it contains distracting information.

Grief in Everyday Life: Understanding & Navigating the Journey 14:20

2 years ago14:20

14:20

In this episode, we are going to talk about Grief. And because of the heaviness of this topic, we are going to keep it as simple as possible. This episode is meant to give you an opportunity to start thinking about grief in a different way and to hopefully open up the possibility for addressing any grief that you may currently be experiencing. Grief is so intertwined with so many parts of our life. And often, it gets lost in the day to day. It impacts us in such a way that we often, without really knowing why, are just getting by. Now, I’m no expert. I’m not a therapist or a grief expert. What I can tell you in my experience is, culturally, we don’t address grief well, and I’ve also felt a little lost because of that. Anyone else? And, grief is not just about death. It’s about loss and transition and change. And the reality is that we are all feeling some form of grief, almost all of the time. KEY TAKEAWAYS Take extremely good care of yourself. Always. Find someone to talk to Feel your feelings!!! Don’t stifle or distract yourself from your feelings Know that the grief will demand to be seen…. you get to decide how Give yourself time, lots and lots of space and grace. Lean into love!!! Sleep when you need to sleep, take walks when you need to move, eat better even though it may not feel as easy or satisfying. Be gentle with yourself. Give to others. BEST MOMENTS Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim. — Vicki Harrison Life seems sometimes like nothing more than a series of losses, from beginning to end. That's the given. How you respond to those losses, what you make of what's left, that's the part you have to make up as you go. ― Katharine Weber Grief never ends. But it changes. Its’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love. –Unknown VALUABLE RESOURCES If you’re struggling in a relationship and wondering if it might be controlling, you’re not alone.
