What We Say To Ourselves Matters: Combatting Negative Self-Talk Dec 11, 2024

Show notes

Have you ever stopped to listen to the way you talk to yourself? Those quiet whispers of self-doubt or harsh criticism can shape your reality in ways you may not even realize. Negative self-talk isn’t just a fleeting thought—it’s a pattern that can erode confidence, fuel stress, and hold you back from living the life you deserve. But here’s the good news: with awareness and the right tools, you can challenge and transform those inner messages. Imagine replacing self-criticism with curiosity, kindness, and self-compassion and turning your inner critic into your greatest advocate. The journey starts with one simple truth—what you say to yourself matters.

In this episode, we talk about what negative self-talk looks like, how it might impact you, and how you can address it in your own life with a returning guest, Jen Baumgold. Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016. During her time there, she provided crucial mental health support to FDYN members and their families.

In addition to her private practice, Jen is an active member of the Fair Field Trauma Response team, a volunteer alliance of mental health professionals committed to aiding first responders and the local communities in healing from trauma, tragedy, and stress.

Standout Quotes:

“EMDR allows things to integrate between cognitive and emotional brain so that you start to believe more adaptive message.” [18:41]
“Our brain in trauma and survival mode don’t have access to the rational brain, so it’s going with messages of survival; when we desensitize, it allows us to connect the true beliefs about ourselves.” [20:39]
“If we talk to ourselves in a negative, critical, and punitive way, it’s not in the service of self-improvement; it will only induce shame and survival.” [31:18]
“Curiosity is not survival; when we’re in fight or flight mode, we can’t be curious about ourselves or anybody.” [34:59]

Spirituality for Emotional Resilience and Cultivating Hope Dec 04, 2024

Show notes

The holiday season, while often filled with joy and celebration, can also amplify feelings of loneliness, grief, and overwhelm. In those moments, it’s easy to feel as though we’re navigating life’s challenges alone, carrying burdens too heavy to bear. But what if the very struggles we face are opportunities to connect with a deeper source of strength? In this episode, Rev. Lizzie reminds us that through spirituality, we can find a wellspring of resilience and hope. Whether we’re juggling endless to-do lists or grieving a profound loss, Lizzie shares how God’s presence and love offer us the courage to endure, grow, and heal—even in life’s most trying seasons.

Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 80K followers.

As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.

[43:22] How God calls us to walk and transform us through a refining fire
[47:18] What inspired Rev Lizzie to write her book, and how it will support readers
[53:48] One key takeaway from Rev Lizzie to apply to your life this holiday season
[54:56] Wrap up and end of the show

Standout Quotes:

“To know God is to go deep within ourselves; we have to learn to trust and listen deep within ourselves to hear how God is speaking to us and giving us everything we need to endure.” [07:57]
“Taking some deliberate quiet time in the hustle and bustle of holiday season can be really significant.” [30:25]
“You don’t have to do anything to deserve and receive the bigness of God’s love; it’s just given to you.” [54:29]

The Gut-Life Balance: How Acupuncture Assists with Digestive Discomfort Nov 27, 2024

Show notes

We don’t just digest food—we digest life. Every thought, feeling, and experience we encounter impacts our gut health, making digestion about so much more than what’s on our plate. For women, this connection is even more profound, as stress, hormonal changes, and emotional well-being often show up in the form of bloating, acid reflux, IBS, and other gut issues. Acupuncture, a powerful tool in East Asian medicine, helps restore balance by addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of digestion. It’s not just about relieving symptoms—it’s about nurturing your body and mind to feel your best from the inside out.

In this episode, we talk about how acupuncture and East Asian medicine can support and heal digestion and gastrointestinal issues that are prevalent today with Jacques Depardieu. Jacques is nationally board-certified in acupuncture and traditional Chinese pharmacology and has been practising for over 25 years. He has a masters in oriental medicine and has been a Qigong practitioner for over 30 years. Jacques is a self-described advocate for the human spirit, having treated thousands of individuals for a wide array of conditions. He understands the role that spirit, creativity, and spontaneity play in creating health and recovery.

Tune in!

[00:01] Intro and a bit about our guest today, Jacques Depardieu
[05:28] What acupuncture and East Asian medicine are and their benefits
[08:04] Why so many people are struggling with GI issues today

[28:43] How GI issues show up day-to-day and how to recognise them
[32:57] How acupuncture helps address digestive issues
[37:55] The connection between stress, mental health and digestive health
[42:30] Simple lifestyle changes you can make to support your digestive health
[46:18] Wrap up and end of the show

Standout Quotes:

“We not only digest the food we eat, we’ve to digest our life, all of our thoughts and feelings are processes of digestion.” [11:32]
“Whenever people digestive issues settle down, their sleep problems improve as well” [37:19]
“You can’t fix a problem in somebody’s hip or shoulder if they don’t have a healthy digestive system, and are not sleeping.” [41:47]
“If you’re not going to the bathroom, you’re not digesting well, and you’re not sleeping, it’s very difficult to heal your body from anything, specifically digestive issues.” [42:02]

Horoscopes: Your GPS for Life Nov 20, 2024

Show notes

In a world that constantly tells us who we should be, finding our true identity can feel like an uphill battle. Many of us struggle to balance our authentic selves with the roles and expectations society places on us. In the face of this life's complexities, horoscopes can offer meaningful ways for self-discovery and empowerment. Horoscopes aren’t just about predictions—they are a tool to help us feel more centered, confident, and accepting of ourselves. They provide a sense of validation and reassurance that goes beyond external labels, supporting us on our path toward inner peace and authentic self-expression.In this episode, we’re joined by Ophira Edut to answer this week’s one-million-dollar question: Why should you check your horoscope?

Combating Imposter Syndrome and Career Uncertainty with Human Design Nov 13, 2024

Show notes

What is it that truly drives you? What if your work could be a reflection of your unique purpose, aligning your deepest values with what you do every day? Many of us struggle with feelings of inadequacy and imposter syndrome, wondering if we’re really in the right place or living up to our true potential. Imagine a path where you uncover your natural strengths, connect with your authentic self, and let go of the pressure to be someone you’re not. When career and purpose align, work becomes more than a job—it becomes a fulfilling extension of who you are, empowering you to face challenges with confidence and clarity. Embracing this alignment can transform how you navigate your career, letting purpose guide you toward both fulfillment and success.

In this episode, we talk about how human design could be a tool to achieve your dreams and find your motivation and purpose in your work with a returning guest, Zach Carlsen. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade. The core and foundation of his work is human design, a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. He holds advanced academic degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French, as well as certifications from Gallup Inc. in Clifton Strengths coaching and SSC in human design coaching. In 2021, he obtained his master coach certification from Elementum Coaching Institute.

“If you experience imposter syndrome you’re with the rest of us, we still meet that part of ourselves, but how we meet it is what has changed, don’t let it drive the boss.” [30:38]
“We’re who we are for a reason, and this is true for everybody.” [44:52]
“We got to where we’re for a reason, and we can get where we want to go for other reasons, and human design can be a tool in that journey.” [47:15]

How to Combat and Heal Anxiety for Good Nov 06, 2024

Show notes

Have you been feeling stuck, anxious, and disconnected from yourself? Anxiety is a real challenge that many women grapple with, impacting both their emotional and physical well-being. It can show up as a constant feeling of fear, worry, and restlessness or even manifest physically through symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or difficulty breathing. This overwhelming sense of unease can make it hard to focus, enjoy the present moment, or feel at peace. But recognizing these feelings is the first step toward healing. By addressing anxiety with mindful practices, positive thinking, and self-compassion, it’s possible to regain control, find balance, and reconnect with your inner strength.
In this episode, we talk about anxiety, panic attacks, how to mitigate anxious feelings and moments of panic, and tactical things that you can start doing to trust yourself and the universe with a returning guest, Katie Wee. Katie is a mindset coach, keynote speaker, actress, survivor, writer, and the founder of Happy Camp. Katie has appeared on TV shows such as Modern Family, Hawaii Five-0, New Girl, and General Hospital, and her writing has been featured on Newsweek and The Huffington Post.

What We Can Learn from Dream Visitations & Metaphysical Experiences Oct 30, 2024

Show notes

Have you ever woken up from a dream feeling as though a deceased loved one just visited you but brushed it off as just a regular dream? Sometimes, differentiating dream visitations from ordinary dreams can be challenging. However, unlike typical dreams, these encounters leave you with an undeniable sense of peace, love, and closure rather than confusion or unease. Often, many recall conversations or direct messages from their loved ones, along with a clear sense of their presence. The dream may also include subtle signs, such as a familiar scent or symbol, making the connection feel unmistakable.

In this episode, we discuss metaphysical experiences, how to distinguish regular dreams from visitation dreams, who is more prone to having this experience, and how to start asking spirits for signs with a returning guest, Lea Morgan. Lea is a psychic medium who offers mediumship and intuitive guidance readings. After a career in advertising and interior design, Lea couldn’t shake the pull to fully open up to and understand her intuitive gifts.

Her story is one that shows how spirit can guide you throughout your life by providing the opportunities and experiences needed to hone your skills and ultimately be of service to others. Lee hopes to normalize the perception of psychic work by sharing her own journey openly through workshops, interviews, and information on her website.

Tune in!

What You Will Learn:

[00:01] Intro and a bit about our guest today, Lea Morgan
[03:19] How often encounters with deceased loved ones can happen
[06:34] What psychic mediumship is, and how Lea discovered her abilities
[08:51] What a metaphysical experience is and how it happens
[10:52] How sharing metaphysical experiences empowers us to connect with ourselves

[22:51] Examples of how people see, hear, and feel their deceased loved ones
[32:45] How to request for signs from the spirit
[34:20] What a dream visitation is and how it differs from a regular dream
[40:41] What to look out for when initiating spiritual connections
[47:39] Lee's parting words of encouragement
[49:14] Wrap up and end of the show

Standout Quotes:

“A lot of why we have difficulties in life is that we feel apart, different, and separated, but the more we realize we share the same experiences, the more we can focus on our strengths, best selves, and the life that is meant for us.” [07:45]
“Our power for being our truest selves is rooted in feeling comfortable in who we are; not sharing your truth is minimizing your truth.” [10:55]
“You can request signs; spirit communication is not one-way, it’s a two-way street, and they love it when we talk back or ask for help.” [32:47]
“Even if you feel like you can’t share it, have faith that your experiences are real even if you can’t explain them.” [47:44]

Accountability and (Finally) Getting Out of Your Own Way Oct 23, 2024

Show notes

Sometimes, the biggest obstacle standing between us and the life we truly want is ourselves. We get caught up in the expectations of others, seeking external validation and fulfillment, all while losing sight of what really matters to us. Accountability, both to ourselves and to others, is key to breaking this cycle. It empowers us to focus on what is truly meaningful, shifting from external pressures to a more authentic, self-directed path. By taking ownership of our choices and actions, we can make small, consistent changes that lead to lasting transformation. It’s never too late to redefine your life, let go of self-imposed limitations, and start living with purpose and fulfillment.
In this episode, we talk about finding happiness and fulfillment, accountability for self, the power of consistency, and showing up for ourselves with a returning guest, Bonnie. Bonnie is an accountability coach at All-In by Teddi. Her career began in retail marketing and management, where she held divisional manager and director of HR roles at various department stores and led store openings nationwide. In 2019, she discovered All In by Teddi Mellencamp, a life-changing program focused on accountability, personalized coaching, and lasting lifestyle shifts toward health and fitness.

After succeeding with the program, she became a lifestyle coach at All In, helping clients build lasting lifestyles through movement, clean eating, and positive mindset adjustments. Bonnie has transformed hundreds of lives, trained new coaches, and passionately advocates for the All In community.
