In this episode of the Get Obsessed podcast, Dr. Nicki Monti joins Julie Lokun and Mika Altidor to share how childhood trauma, addiction, and the search for self-love shaped both her life and her decades of helping others heal.
An experienced therapist, author, and speaker, she draws on both professional expertise and personal experience to challenge the stories that keep people stuck.
Drawing from more than four decades of sobriety, Dr. Nicki explores core wounds, emotional defenses, authenticity, and self-worth. She also reflects on caring for her late husband, working with public figures, and why healing begins by replacing old survival stories with the truth.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What inspired Dr. Nicki to use her own life story instead of hiding behind professional credentials
- Why sobriety marked the beginning of emotional healing rather than the end of addiction
- How core wounds formed in childhood shape self-worth and lifelong beliefs
- Why emotional defenses can protect people while quietly preventing genuine connection
- The process of replacing old beliefs with personal responsibility and lasting emotional change
- Lessons from working with celebrities and why healing follows the same principles for everyone
- How projection shapes the way people judge themselves and others

Get Obsessed with... doing the thing that scares you.
This week on Get Obsessed, Julie Lokun and Mika Altidor sit down with Tracy Heisler Drost, Mrs. Illinois 2025-26, for a conversation that goes way beyond the crown. Tracy pulls back the curtain on the world of pageantry — not the stereotype, the reality: the platform it builds, the doors it opens, and the personal growth that happens when you stop avoiding the things that make you uncomfortable and start leaning into them.
Tracy shares how competing as Mrs. Illinois became less about the title and more about the megaphone it gave her — a platform to advocate, connect, and show other women what's possible when you bet on yourself. Julie and Mika dig into the mindset shift that made it all possible: the moment you decide discomfort isn't a red flag, it's a green light.
If you've ever talked yourself out of something because it felt scary, unfamiliar, or "not really you" — this episode is your permission slip to do it anyway.
In this episode, we cover:
- What it's really like to compete for a title like Mrs. Illinois — and what nobody tells you going in
- How pageantry functions as a platform-building tool, not just a beauty contest
- The confidence Tracy built by choosing discomfort on purpose
- Why "just try it" might be the most underrated growth strategy that exists
- How to turn any title, role, or opportunity into a bigger platform for your voice
- Advice for anyone standing at the edge of something that scares them
Quotable moment: Tracy on why growth lives on the other side of uncomfortable — and why she keeps choosing it anyway.

Meet the country star who is singing the anthem for single girls everywhere! Today we're getting obsessed with rising country star Maddye Trew — a Memphis-born singer-songwriter whose voice is as bold as her spirit.
From her roots in Memphis to her journey to Nashville, Maddye brings heart, humor, and honesty to her music. Her breakout banger — "Single of the Year" — is not just a song. It's an anthem for single women everywhere: raising a glass, owning independence, and celebrating life with a beer in hand instead of wallowing over a broken heart.
But Maddye's road wasn't all smooth. She once stood face-to-face with superstar diva Mariah Carey during an American Idol audition — a moment that could have shattered any young artist's dream. Instead, she used that rejection as rocket fuel.
In This Episode We Talk About: How to reclaim your narrative and transform rejection into resilience * The story behind "Single of the Year" — how it captures a generation of women navigating singleness and waiting * Why being 30, single, and unapologetically chasing a music dream is powerful — and how the need for control plays into it * Maddye's musical influences, including Carrie Underwood, Loretta Lynn, and the traditional country lineage she honors * The importance of mentorship, giving back, and being the person you once needed to meet * What's next: her new EP Here Goes Nothing* (coming 2026) and how to follow her journey at maddyetrew.com
Key Takeaways:* You don't have to be defined by your relationship status — raise your glass, tie one on, and toast your independence * What often looks like "falling behind" (friends getting married, society ticking boxes) can actually be your runway * In music, as in life, the mindset shift from "talent-show contestant" to professional artist changes everything * Mentorship and paying it forward matters — Maddye isn't just chasing a dream in Nashville, she's returning to her high school to encourage the next generation * Being single isn't a pause; it can be a season of empowerment, growth, and the lead-in to bigger things
Learn More About Maddye Trew:* Website: www.maddyetrew.com * Listen to "Single of the Year" on Spotify * Follow Maddye on Instagram: @maddyetrew
If you're navigating fears around control, waiting, or career vs. personal life, this episode is for you — share it with the "singledom" warriors in your life!

Host Mika Altidor continues a Get Obsessed podcast conversation with Stefano Siciliano, using the life of 1800s abolitionist John Brown to question claims that today is the worst time in history. Mika notes Brown endured extreme hardship, high child and maternal mortality, and fought slavery despite being white, ultimately giving his life for the cause. Stefano argues that while methods and appearances change, the fundamental “mechanic” remains: the pursuit of freedom from what is not true, with modern slavery expressed through deception, banking, and corrupt political systems. He says fear of loss drives greed and manipulation until people hit a crisis point where nothing works, creating the opportunity to be “available” for what’s possible. Availability depends on how one responds to adversity, like river water smoothing resistance in rocks.

On the Get Obsessed podcast, host Mika Altidor interviews Stefano Siciliano, an American lifelong personal growth and spiritual path practitioner who began having spontaneous out-of-body experiences (OBEs) around age seven or eight and later learned to induce them. Inspired by Robert Monroe’s books, Stefano trained at the Monroe Institute, became a trainer in Europe, helped bring the technology to Eastern Bloc countries after the Soviet Republic collapsed, and now supports and endorses Darius J. Wright’s work. Stefano explains OBEs as normal and connected to sleep, dreams, and lucid dreaming, describing “mind awake, body asleep” as akin to deep meditation. He says conscious OBEs can transform one’s view of identity, reality, death, and loss, and frames adversity as a catalyst that can push people toward availability for “what more is possible,” recommending Wright’s online resources for further exploration.

If you haven't listened to last week's sit-down with former NFL star Marcus Ogden yet — go do that first. This week, Julie and Mika return to unpack every layer of his extraordinary rise, fall, and second act. Marcus went from being a dominant NFL player and minority contractor holding Baltimore's top government contract — to making $8.15 an hour cleaning restrooms. This is what rock bottom really looks like, and more importantly, what the climb back up teaches us all.
Jules and Mika explore how Marcus was able to share his story without emotional charge — speaking from wisdom rather than wound — and why that signals a man truly living his mission. They dig into the parallels between addiction to substances and addiction to status, success, and dopamine, asking the question: is ego just another drug?
"To have an ego that big, it had to be brought down. His rock bottom was a way of showing the height of where he was — and for him to come back from that, it's almost like he is called to share this." — Mika Altidor
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Ego is a dopamine loop. Marcus replaced drug and alcohol addiction with the high of being "number one" — the most successful minority contractor in Baltimore. Success without humility can be its own trap.
- Comeback stories are rare — and that's why they matter. Jules and Mika reflect on how few people actually return from that depth of loss. Marcus's story is a Cinderella story because the odds were against him, and he made it anyway.
- Rock bottom can be a reset, not an ending. For Marcus, cleaning toilets wasn't the end of his story — it was the stripping away of everything fake so the real self could rebuild.
- Shared vulnerability is mission work. When you've been through something extraordinary, telling the truth about it stops being personal — it becomes a calling. Marcus embodies that shift.
- Check your ego before the universe does. Mika shares her own moment of realizing praise was inflating her sense of self. The universe has a way of recalibrating — best to do it yourself first.

In this episode of the Get Obsessed podcast, Marques Ogden talks with hosts Julie Lokun and Mika Altidor about how ego shaped his life after the NFL and what it ultimately cost him.
A former NFL player who went on to build a multi-million dollar construction company, Marques shares how his rapid success in business, more than football, fueled a sense of invincibility that led to losing everything.
He speaks candidly about bankruptcy, hitting rock bottom while working as a janitor for $8 an hour, and the moment he had to take full responsibility for where he ended up. Through that experience, he gained a deeper understanding of relationships versus money and why real connection matters more than status or success. Today, Marques uses those lessons to guide others, grounded in humility, accountability, and a commitment to never return to the person he once was.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The hidden cost of success and the pressure behind life after the NFL
- Owning the fall when ego takes control
- From NFL player to entrepreneur and unexpected success
- Struggles with relationships vs money and identity outside the game
- How ego grew outside football and led to bankruptcy
- Losing friendships and discovering who truly stays at rock bottom
- Rebuilding with humility, credibility, and real connections
ABOUT THE GUEST
Marques Ogden is a keynote speaker, five-time bestselling author, and former NFL offensive lineman who now speaks to organizations on leadership, resilience, and overcoming failure. After playing five seasons in the NFL, he built a multi-million dollar construction company that eventually collapsed, leading him to file for bankruptcy and hit rock bottom.
That experience became a defining turning point, forcing him to confront his ego and rebuild his life from the ground up with humility and accountability. Today, Marques uses those lessons to teach individuals and teams how to execute through adversity and develop a resilient mindset.
He is also the host of the globally ranked podcast Get Authentic with Marques Ogden, reaching over 750,000 people monthly through his message of growth, ownership, and transformation.

Mika Altidor and Julie Lokun are handing the mic over to the powerhouse behind Modern Mom Problems, Tara Clark. In this featured episode, Tara sits down with the iconic Dr. Rachel NYC (Dr. Rachel Goldman) to discuss her transformative new book, When Life Happens.
www.modernmomprobs.com
The conversation dives deep into the "mental load" and how our brains are often wired for survival in a modern world that doesn't have bears, but does have endless "pings" and social comparisons. Dr. Rachel breaks down the psychology of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), making it accessible for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped by negative self-talk. From changing your "system" for body confidence to the power of five-minute micro-habits, this episode is a masterclass in reclaiming your mindset.
The Obsession Highlights The "Bear in the Woods" Theory: Why your brain reacts to a box of Legos falling over the same way it reacts to a predator. * Changing the System: Tara shares her personal "beach outfit" hack that shifted her from body insecurity to being fully present with her family. * CBT for the Real World: How thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are linked, and why you don't need a diagnosis to benefit from these tools. * The "Just Do It" Psychology: Why behavioral activation is the key to breaking free from a "stuck" feeling. * Micro-Habits:* The power of five-minute sprints and why sustainability beats an "all-in" overhaul every time.

In this episode of the Get Obsessed podcast, Silvia Araya joins hosts Julie Lokun and Mika Altidor in a deeply personal and insightful conversation where numerology, anxiety, and panic attacks intersect, revealing how emotional patterns, sensitivity, and lived experiences shape the way we respond to the world.
As a trauma-informed practitioner and numerologist, Silvia shares how decoding these patterns can open the door to healing and self-understanding.
This conversation moves beyond surface-level explanations of anxiety, uncovering how trauma, emotional triggers, and sensitivity influence the nervous system and daily behaviors. Silvia explains how tendencies like overthinking and control or rigidity are not flaws but learned responses that can be softened through awareness and nervous system regulation. By reframing panic attacks as signals rather than threats, she offers a grounded and compassionate path toward healing and long-term emotional balance.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How numerology reveals patterns in sensitivity and emotional triggers that influence anxiety
- The connection between sensitivity and the onset of anxiety and panic attacks
- Understanding numerology as both a scientific and intuitive tool for self-discovery
- How numerology provides clarity and helps reduce overthinking by making patterns visible
- The role of nervous system regulation in managing anxiety and preventing panic responses
- How control or rigidity and overthinking contribute to anxiety when patterns become unbalanced
- Reframing panic attacks as non-dangerous experiences and part of a deeper healing process
ABOUT THE GUESTSilvia Araya is a trauma-informed practitioner, numerologist, and Internal Family Systems practitioner who helps individuals understand and heal the root causes of anxiety and panic attacks. Her work is deeply shaped by her own journey of overcoming debilitating anxiety, which once limited her daily life.Through years of therapy, self-discovery, and holistic practices, she discovered that unresolved trauma often sits at the core of these experiences. She integrates numerology with trauma-informed care and nervous system awareness to help clients uncover emotional patterns, reduce overthinking, and create lasting change.
Today, Silvia guides individuals toward greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of inner safety.

The answer may lie in understanding the Law of Attraction and how your thoughts, emotions, and actions work together to shape your reality.
In this powerful episode of The Obsessed Podcast, we break down how the Law of Attraction really works, demystify manifestation, and give you practical, real-world tools you can start using today to attract what you truly desire.

Grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and get Obsessed with creating the life you were meant to live.
What Is the Law of Attraction?(00:00:00 – 00:01:51)
At its core, the Law of Attraction is based on one simple truth:
Your thoughts and feelings create your reality.
Everything you experience—relationships, career opportunities, confidence, abundance—begins with your internal world. The Law of Attraction teaches that like attracts like, meaning the energy you put out is the energy you receive back.
Thought alone isn’t enough.
Aligned action is what activates manifestation.
The Core Mechanics of the Law of AttractionPositive vs. Negative EnergyYour mindset acts like a magnet:
- Positive thoughts and emotions attract opportunities, growth, and aligned people
- Negative thoughts and self-talk attract resistance, fear, and limitation
Awareness is the first step to shifting your energy.
The 3 Steps to Manifestation: How the Law of Attraction Works(00:03:51 – 00:05:11)
Step 1: AskBe crystal clear about what you want.
Manifestation tools include:
- Writing your desires down
- Visualization practices
- Feeling the emotion of already having it
Clarity creates momentum.
Step 2: BelieveBelief is the bridge between desire and reality.
- Trust the process
- Release doubt and fear
- Act as if your desire is already unfolding
Belief isn’t passive—it’s intentional confidence.
Step 3: ReceiveThis is where many people get stuck.
- Stay open to opportunities
- Practice gratitude for small wins
- Say “yes” when alignment shows up
Receiving requires trust and readiness.
Manifesting in Real Time: Daily Practices That Work(00:05:11 – 00:09:10)
To activate the Law of Attraction consistently:
- Practice daily visualization
- Cultivate gratitude rituals
- Eliminate negative self-talk
- Take inspired action, even when it feels uncomfortable
Manifestation is not magic—it’s momentum.
Final Thoughts on Manifestation & Mindset(00:09:10 – 00:09:42)
When your thoughts, emotions, and actions align, transformation happens.
Remember:
- Be patient—timing matters
- Stay consistent
- Trust yourself
Visualize
Practice gratitude
Eliminate negative self-talk
Take inspired action
And most importantly—get involved and share your journey with us.

What if this year is not about becoming someone new but about becoming a stronger, more intentional version of who you already are?
In this reflective solo episode of the Get Obsessed Podcast, host Julie Lokun, JD shares a powerful mindset shift for high achievers who feel overwhelmed by hustle culture, endless goal setting, and the pressure to constantly do more.
Julie reflects on the magic of the holidays through childhood eyes, the reality of adulthood responsibility, and the moment she realized that more goals did not equal more joy. Instead of embracing the tired phrase New Year, New You, she invites listeners to focus on intentional living rooted in clarity, energy protection, and alignment.
This episode is for entrepreneurs, creatives, leaders, and high performers who are ready to stop doing more and start doing what truly matters.
What You Will Learn in This Episode
Julie explains why New Year, New You is a myth and how New Year, Same You but Stronger creates sustainable momentum. She walks through the power of choosing one personal goal and one professional goal and how this approach reduces overwhelm while increasing fulfillment.
Listeners will learn why protecting physical and emotional energy is a non negotiable and how saying no without overexplaining creates freedom. Julie also addresses why rest and sleep are essential for clarity, creativity, and long term success.
On the professional side, Julie shares what it means to amplify fewer voices more powerfully. She explains why going deeper instead of wider creates exponential results and how aligned energy between collaborators is the foundation of meaningful growth.
Intentional Living and Honoring Your Season
This episode invites listeners to ask a critical question: What season of life am I in?
Julie encourages integration over pressure and reminds listeners that growth does not need to happen on a single day. She emphasizes honoring the lessons learned from the past year and recognizing resilience, even when healing feels incomplete.
The Proof of Life Mindset
Julie introduces the concept of a proof of life list, a practice of acknowledging moments when you showed up despite adversity. Whether navigating relationship changes, health challenges, financial stress, or professional uncertainty, surviving counts and deserves recognition.
Relationships Over Algorithms
Julie shares why some of her most meaningful opportunities came from conversations rather than content. By dialing down social media and prioritizing real relationships, she found deeper connection and greater professional impact.
Expansion, Curiosity, and Beginner’s Brain
Listeners are encouraged to say yes to growth without pressure. Julie explores the idea of expansion through curiosity, new conversations, and experiences that place you back into beginner’s brain, a concept she learned from Jim Kwik.
Planning Joy on Purpose
If joy is not scheduled, stress will be.
Julie challenges listeners to plan joy intentionally, whether through small moments of play, creativity, rest, or connection. Joy is not a reward. It is a requirement.

Welcome to Get Obsessed
Julie and Mika open the episode with a reflection on their shared obsession with romance, sensuality, dreaming, and the power of the written word. They introduce Pamela S. Thibodeaux, a woman whose storytelling lives at the intersection of faith, sensuality, and gritty realism.
Pamela’s Writing Origin Story
Pamela shares how her writing journey began in her twenties, filling five-subject notebooks while raising young children. Without access to a computer or typewriter, she rented machines or borrowed them whenever she could—because the stories simply needed to come out.
Discovering the Christian Market
Pamela explains the early challenges of writing romance with faith elements. Traditional Christian publishers wanted extremely conservative love stories:
- no passionate kisses
- no euphemisms like “heck” or “darn”
- no unmarried characters alone together
- no dancing unless it was “square dancing”
Her stories, full of sensuality, passion, complexity, and spiritual themes, didn’t fit the mold.
Blending Sensuality & Spirituality
Pamela speaks about the moment she recommitted her life to God and asked to write fiction that glorifies Him—without sanitizing human passion. She believed (and still believes) that God created humans with desire, chemistry, and emotional depth, and that romance fiction should honor that.
Her tagline—“Inspirational with an Edge”—came organically from a bookstore manager who instantly recognized her voice.
The Struggle—and Freedom—of Finding the Right Market
Traditional Christian publishers found her books “too sensual.” Secular publishers found them “too much God.” Pamela had to find a lane for readers who wanted both. Small-press publishers embraced her work, and she eventually indie-published after getting her rights back.
Writing Real Life: Domestic Violence, Abuse & Healing
Pamela opens up about her own past—being young, married to an alcoholic, surviving domestic violence, raising children, and eventually finding safety and healing.
She talks about how life experiences naturally show up in her books, especially through:
- characters overcoming abuse
- emotional healing arcs
- the tension between vulnerability and strength
- the journey from fear to faith
One of her most powerful books was written in four months during tax season while working full-time—something she considers a divine co-creation.
Faith Without Preaching
Pamela emphasizes she’s not writing for the already-convinced. Her books aren’t sermons, and her characters aren’t perfect. Instead, she writes for readers who may never go to church or pick up a Bible—but still crave meaning, hope, and spiritual truth.
The Role of Passion in Love
She speaks candidly about how emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy are interconnected—and why she refuses to separate them in her fiction. She believes portraying passion isn’t sinful; it’s honest, healthy, and God-designed.
Marriage, Divorce & Redemption
Julie and Pamela connect over their shared experience with divorce. Pamela shares that:
- her first marriage was volatile
- she left to protect herself and her children
- she later remarried and was widowed
- healing, forgiveness, and growth shaped her deeply
These life chapters add texture to the emotional resolution in her stories and to the compassion she brings to her characters.
A Multifaceted Creative Life
Mika highlights Pamela’s passion for family, storytelling, The Chosen series, and her love for the Texas cowboy culture. Pamela speaks about writing stories set in the Texas Hill Country and her affection for cowboy romance rooted in faith and realism.
Where to Find Pamela
Pamela shares her platforms:
- Website: pamelathibodeaux.com
- Amazon & major retailers for her books
- YouTube: A Novel Lunch (writing instruction)
- YouTube: Coaching in PJ’s (life tips, personal growth)
Closing
Julie and Mika thank Pamela for her authenticity, depth, vulnerability, and craft. Listeners are invited to rate, review, and subscribe for more inspiring conversations on love, passion, healing, and storytelling.

- Common Patterns of Discouragement: Understand phrases and behaviors that subtly undermine your confidence, such as generalizing your identity ("You never follow through") or fixating on fears instead of possibilities.
- Protecting Your Progress: Mika shares three actionable steps to keep your momentum strong—naming the behavior, asking clarifying questions, and making small, low-risk bets to prove your naysayers wrong.
- How to Cultivate Real Loyalty: Build loyalty to your dreams and self, attract the right supporters, and set healthy boundaries with those who want to keep you playing small.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to detect subtle signals of sabotage—even from well-meaning loved ones

In this week's episode of OBSESSED we're diving into the power of voice and storytelling, drawing inspiration from icons like Barbra Walters and Oprah Winfrey—women who’ve captivated audiences and changed conversations for decades. We'll talk about how to craft a compelling voice that commands attention, connects deeply, and inspires action.
But it doesn’t stop there. As a true crime enthusiast, I'm particularly inspired by the storytelling brilliance in shows like Reasonable Doubt on Investigation Discovery, where Detective Chris Anderson and Fatima Silva dig into cases, seeking truth and justice. They show how powerful voices can seek clarity and serve a purpose greater than themselves.
In today’s episode, we’ll explore how to channel the art of compelling communication into your own ventures, whether you're pitching ideas, creating content, or simply sharing your story.

⭐Heather Krueger's story starts with an almost terminal diagnosis of liver disease. At 25 years old she was diagnosed with stage 4 autoimmune liver disease and was given 2 months to live.
What happens next is the story only the Hallmark Channel can do justice with. She lived and married her donator. The story was a fairy tale, with twists and turns and became the number 1 most watched Hallmark movie- EVER.
Once Upon A Christmas Miracle was the story that warmed your heart and made you believe in fate, God and love. Until the cracks started showing.

ABOUT AUTOIMMUNE LIVER DISEASE-
Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic liver disease that begins with a mistake of your immune system. Your immune system sends antibodies to your liver tissues, causing inflammation (hepatitis). These antibodies are normally supposed to attack infections in your liver tissues. But in autoimmune disease, your immune system mistakenly attacks your own healthy cells instead.
Autoimmune hepatitis causes chronic inflammation in your liver, which may cause serious damage over time. Like other types of chronic hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis can lead to scarring of your liver tissues (cirrhosis). Medical treatment can help reduce the inflammation and prevent complications from developing. However, in the early stages of the disease, you may not have symptoms.

Manifesting your dreams into reality is more than just wishful thinking—it's about taking concrete steps towards your goals with unwavering belief. Real manifestation involves a blend of intention, action, and resilience. Embracing the power of failure is crucial in this journey. Failure is not a setback but a powerful teacher that shapes your path to success. Each misstep provides valuable lessons, revealing what doesn't work and guiding you closer to what does. By viewing failure as a necessary component of growth, you transform obstacles into opportunities, reinforcing your commitment to your vision. Manifesting for real means acknowledging that the road to your dreams is paved with triumphs and challenges, each playing a pivotal role in your ultimate success.

Janelle Brown Is An Amazing Coach- and coaching can be an incredible tool of you find the right coach like Janelle/www.strivewithjanelle.com
Investing in yourself isn't just about money. It encompasses a broad spectrum of actions, including dedicating time, effort, and resources towards self-improvement. When you invest in yourself, you are essentially laying down the foundation for future success. Without this commitment, you risk wasting your most valuable resource: time. Time is the one thing we cannot recover. Regardless of how much money you have, without time, it’s meaningless.
Why Self-Investment Matters1. Monetary Investment: Spending money on your education, skills, and personal development can yield significant returns in the long run. This could be through higher earning potential, better job opportunities, or simply achieving a higher quality of life. 2. Time Investment: Allocating time towards learning new skills, improving your health, or nurturing relationships can have profound impacts on your overall well-being and success. 3. Daily Effort: Consistent, daily efforts towards self-improvement compound over time. Even small steps taken each day can lead to substantial progress by the end of the year.
The Consequence of InactionChoosing not to invest in yourself can result in stagnation. If you’re content with the status quo, that’s okay, but many people have an inherent desire to achieve more. By not taking proactive steps, you’re essentially throwing away opportunities for growth and improvement. Living a life of mediocrity doesn’t fulfill the innate human drive to progress and excel.
The Role of CoachingOne effective way to invest in yourself is through coaching. A good coach can provide guidance, support, and accountability, helping you to navigate your personal and professional journey more effectively. When selecting a coach, it’s crucial to ensure they are certified, and credentialed, and that you resonate with their approach. The right coach can be instrumental in helping you achieve your goals.

In a world where superficial interactions often dominate, the importance of real conversations cannot be overstated. Engaging in deep, meaningful dialogue allows us to connect on a profound level, fostering understanding and empathy. When these authentic exchanges take place within the context of female friendships, their impact is even more powerful. True female friendships provide a unique source of strength, support, and inspiration. They empower women to be their authentic selves, challenge each other to grow, and celebrate each other's victories. These bonds, built on trust and genuine connection, are a vital source of resilience and joy, enriching our lives in immeasurable ways.
Feeling the constant need to prove yourself can be exhausting and detrimental to your well-being. To break free from this cycle, start by recognizing your inherent worth. Understand that your value is not contingent on external validation or achievements but is intrinsic and unchanging.
Practice self-compassion by treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer a close friend. Accept that making mistakes and experiencing setbacks are natural parts of life and do not diminish your worth. Embrace your imperfections and learn to appreciate your strengths and unique qualities.
Set healthy boundaries to protect your time and energy. Say no to activities or commitments that drain you or are motivated solely by a desire to impress others. Focus on what genuinely matters to you and aligns with your values and passions.
Surround yourself with supportive and affirming people who appreciate you for who you are, not just what you do. Positive relationships can reinforce your sense of self-worth and reduce the pressure to constantly prove yourself.
Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment, independent of others' opinions. Pursuing your interests and passions can boost your confidence and help you find satisfaction within yourself.
Lastly, challenge and reframe negative self-talk. When you feel inadequate or strive for approval, remind yourself of your intrinsic value and past achievements. Affirmations and mindfulness practices can also help you stay grounded and centered.
By adopting these strategies, you can gradually release the need to prove yourself and cultivate a deeper sense of self-acceptance and peace.

Creating Boundaries and Building Confidence: A Personal JourneyI used to say "Yes" to everything. "Yes, I'll do this. Yes, I'll do that." I ended up exhausted, with no boundaries, constantly pushing myself to the brink. I told myself it was because I wanted to be nice and help people, but that was just a lie. The real reason was that I wanted people to like me.
Creating boundaries is crucial for feeling in control of our lives. It enhances that psychological safe haven we all crave. It's about more than just setting limits; it's about gaining confidence and realizing that you are in charge of your life. While some people's opinions may matter a little, most don't.
One of the biggest boosts to my confidence, beyond stopping the endless self-comparisons, was understanding the power of boundaries and surrounding myself with positive people. Look at the people around you. Are they lifting you up or dragging you down? Surround yourself with those who positively impact your life. Judgmental or critical people can seriously damage your mental strength and self-esteem.
If you constantly feel awful about yourself, and you're surrounded by negativity, it will reinforce that negative narrative in your mind. Many people don’t realize that their closest friends, partners, kids, or even parents can be incredibly negative and harm their self-esteem.
Learn to accept these compliments. Recognize the people who genuinely support and uplift you and keep them close.
Walking in confidence isn't a quick fix; it's a daily practice. Everyone has to work on this, myself included. Mika, Tia, all of us need to consistently practice building confidence and maintaining boundaries. Don't let your life be defined by negativity, lack of boundaries, or constant comparison. Instead, become familiar with holding your head high, appreciating your unique gifts, and embracing positivity.

Navigating the Realms of Motherhood, Entrepreneurship, and the Law of Attraction
Manifest wealth and success with The Law Of Attraction Tribe Leader, Stephanie Keith.

In the intricate tapestry of modern life, juggling the roles of motherhood, entrepreneurship, and personal growth can feel like traversing uncharted territories. Yet, within these challenges lies a profound opportunity to harness the power of the Law of Attraction—a principle that transcends mere wishful thinking and invites us to co-create our reality through focused intention and aligned action.
Embracing the Law of Attraction:
At its essence, the Law of Attraction asserts that our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions shape the experiences we attract into our lives. By cultivating a positive mindset, visualizing our desired outcomes, and embodying the emotions associated with our goals, we can magnetize opportunities and resources that align with our intentions. This principle underscores the importance of embracing abundance consciousness and trusting in the inherent wisdom of the universe.
Manifesting Wealth and Success:
While the Law of Attraction can be applied to all aspects of life, let's delve into its application in manifesting wealth and success. By setting clear intentions and visualizing financial abundance with clarity and conviction, we can activate the creative power of our subconscious mind to attract opportunities for prosperity. Moreover, understanding the science behind manifestation—how our thoughts influence neural pathways and shape our perception of reality—empowers us to navigate the path to success with confidence and clarity.
Protecting Energy and Boundaries:
As mothers and entrepreneurs, safeguarding our energy and boundaries is paramount to maintaining balance and vitality. The Law of Attraction teaches us the importance of aligning with our authentic desires and honoring our intuition in setting boundaries that serve our highest good. By prioritizing self-care and creating space for introspection and renewal, we can amplify our magnetic presence and attract opportunities that resonate with our soul's purpose.
Adapting to Real-Life Challenges:
In the whirlwind of daily life, unexpected interruptions and setbacks are inevitable. Yet, it's in these moments of adversity that the power of the Law of Attraction truly shines. Rather than succumbing to frustration or resistance, we can choose to see challenges as opportunities for growth and expansion. By maintaining a positive mindset and remaining open to alternative solutions, we can navigate through obstacles with grace and resilience, knowing that every experience serves to deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Having a "miracle morning" involves creating a morning routine that sets a positive tone for the rest of your day. Here are some tips to help you establish a powerful and transformative morning routine:
- Wake Up Early: Aim to wake up at least an hour before you need to start your day. This quiet time allows you to focus on personal growth and self-care without distractions.
- Stay Consistent: Try to wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Consistency helps regulate your body’s internal clock and makes it easier to wake up early.
- Start with Silence: Begin your morning with a few minutes of silence. This could be meditation, deep breathing, or simply sitting quietly. It helps clear your mind and set a calm tone for the day.
- Practice Affirmations: Use positive affirmations to set your intentions for the day. Speak or write down statements that align with your goals and values, reinforcing a positive mindset.
- Visualize Your Day: Spend a few minutes visualizing your goals and the day ahead. Imagine yourself achieving your tasks and succeeding in your endeavors, which can boost motivation and confidence.
- Exercise: Incorporate some physical activity into your morning routine. This could be a quick workout, yoga, or even a short walk. Exercise boosts your energy levels and enhances mental clarity.
- Read or Learn Something New: Dedicate time to reading a book, article, or listening to a podcast. Focus on content that inspires you, expands your knowledge, or aids in personal development.
- Write or Journal: Spend a few minutes journaling your thoughts, goals, and reflections. Writing can help clarify your thoughts, process emotions, and track your progress over time.
- Hydrate and Eat a Healthy Breakfast: Start your day with a glass of water to rehydrate your body. Follow this with a nutritious breakfast to fuel your body and brain for the day ahead.
- Plan Your Day: Take a few minutes to review your to-do list and set priorities. Organize your tasks to ensure you tackle the most important ones first, helping you stay focused and productive.
- Avoid Distractions: Keep your morning routine free from distractions like checking emails or social media. Focus on activities that promote personal growth and well-being.
- Reflect and Adjust: Regularly review your morning routine to see what’s working and what isn’t. Be open to making adjustments to better suit your evolving needs and goals.
By incorporating these tips into your morning routine, you can create a "miracle morning" that enhances your productivity, positivity, and overall well-being.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOM'S EVERYWHERE!
You are the sunlight in my day.
You are the moon I see far away.
You are the tree I lean upon.
You are the one that makes troubles be gone.
You are the one who taught me about life,
How not to fight and what is right.
You are the words inside my song.

You are the one who cares for me.
You are the eyes that help me see.
You are the one who knows me best,
When it's time to have fun and time to rest.
You are the one who has helped me to dream.
You hear my heart and you hear my screams.
Afraid of life but looking for love.
I'm blessed, for God sent you from above.
You are my friend, my heart, and my soul.
You are the greatest friend I know.
You are the words inside my song.
You are my love, my life, my mom.

Yet, through it all, they find solace in the unwavering support they offer each other, a bond fortified by love, understanding, and a shared journey through the trials and triumphs of raising children.
As the afternoon sun begins to dip below the horizon, Beth and Jodi conclude their conversation with a reaffirmation of the enduring strength found in the sisterhood of motherhood. With hearts full and spirits lifted, they eagerly anticipate the next chapter in their shared adventure, knowing that no matter what challenges may arise, they'll face them together, armed with the wisdom passed down through the generations.

In a world where perfectionism whispers its seductive promises of fulfillment, Glennon Doyle's "Untamed" serves as a beacon of liberation. With unapologetic honesty, Doyle invites us to shed the shackles of societal expectations and embrace our raw, untamed selves. Through her poignant prose, she illuminates the transformative power of letting go of the illusion of who we're supposed to be, and instead, embracing who we truly are. In the pages of "Untamed," Doyle emboldens us to confront our fears, challenge the status quo, and forge our own paths toward authenticity. It's a rallying cry for self-discovery and a celebration of the messy, imperfect beauty that lies within each of us. So let's dare to release the grip of perfectionism and embark on a journey of self-love and acceptance alongside Glennon Doyle, finding solace and inspiration in the pages of "Untamed."
Releasing perfectionism can be a liberating journey toward self-acceptance and growth. Here are some tips to help you let go of the relentless pursuit of perfection:
- Set realistic expectations: Recognize that perfection is an unattainable standard. Instead, aim for progress and improvement rather than flawless execution.
- Challenge perfectionistic thoughts: Notice when you're setting impossibly high standards for yourself and question the validity of those standards. Ask yourself if they're truly necessary or if they're rooted in fear or self-doubt.
- Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, especially when you make mistakes or fall short of your expectations. Remember that you're only human, and imperfection is part of the human experience.
- Focus on the process, not just the outcome: Embrace the journey of learning and growing, rather than fixating solely on the end result. Celebrate your efforts and progress along the way.
- Embrace imperfection: Allow yourself to make mistakes and embrace imperfection as a natural part of life. Remember that mistakes are opportunities for learning and growth.
- Reframe failure: Shift your perspective on failure from something to be feared or avoided to something that offers valuable lessons and insights. View setbacks as stepping stones toward success rather than evidence of inadequacy.
- Set boundaries: Learn to say no to unrealistic demands and prioritize self-care. Establishing boundaries can help prevent burnout and overwhelm, allowing you to focus on what truly matters.
- Seek support: Surround yourself with supportive friends, family, or a therapist who can offer encouragement and perspective as you work on releasing perfectionism.
- Practice mindfulness: Cultivate present moment awareness through practices like meditation or deep breathing exercises. Mindfulness can help you let go of perfectionistic tendencies and cultivate greater acceptance of yourself and your experiences.
- Celebrate progress: Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. Recognize that progress is more important than perfection, and every step forward is a reason to celebrate.

Stop Aging. Start Anti Aging and Becoming The Best Version of YOURSELF!
t 45, it is said, women begin to loose a marketable quality in relationships and in their careers. The number 45 has become the demarcation between youthful vigor and gradual decline. The Invisible Woman Syndrome pinpoints this year as the marker of when we start to see the affects of aging and slowly fade into the corner.
On February 2nd, 2020 it was a sequin studded moment of happenstance that the Invisible Woman Syndrome was graced with a new poster child. It was with choreographed precision produced by the Jennifer Lopez Team that millions gasped and knew our half-time as women could not be ignored. , Her performance was a prolific statement oozing in decadence and packaged with jaw dropping sexual bravado. J.LO orbited the pole on Super Bowl Sunday to be met with quiet admiration from ladies like myself as we witnessed a tiny crack in the collective attitude towards aging.
With a leader like Jennifer Lopez at the helm we are equally bombarded with counter intuitive messages that our 50's shall be relegated to a space of decreased sexual appeal, decreased professional importance and a rapid influx of health issues . And leading the way are advertisers like Osteo Bi-Flex. @ostebi-flex #osteobiflex
Marketing our Invisibility to the Masses. How 52 is marketed by Osteo Bi-Flex: She is the main character in an advertisement for a joint relief supplement (pictured above). She is visibly aged with long grey hair and costumed in an evergreen uniform of khakis and a practical cardigan. With the numbers 52 blazing on the screen you become acutely aware that this number represents the effort of a major corporation who capitalizes on further propagating the stereotype of the Invisible Woman. To be fair, this 52 year old woman looks happy- relishing her spinsterhood. However, behind the smile is a dedicated marketing machine pedaling a message of mid-century malaise. It is a message that has been solidified and sold to the masses that our relevance in society diminishes at a rapid rate as we enter our fifth decade.

In today's episode, we delve into the complexities of life's challenges and the importance of knowing you're not alone. I share some profound realizations I've had recently, emphasizing the value of having a coach, therapist, or impartial confidant to navigate life's twists and turns, big or small.
Even those seemingly trivial issues can weigh heavily on us, impacting our daily narratives and self-perception. We often find ourselves battling our inner demons, especially during certain stages of life or under external pressures like hormonal shifts or dreary weather.
Reflecting on past joys, I realize the need to break free from unhealthy c
oping mechanisms, like escaping into Netflix binges, and instead seek genuine connections and community interactions. This realization is a cathartic journey, acknowledging that while my struggles may not be as severe as others', they are still valid and worth sharing.
I aspire to be a beacon of strength and positivity for others, but honesty compels me to admit my own struggles. Suppressing emotions only perpetuates isolation, hindering the potential for empathy and understanding among us all.
So, let's embrace the power of storytelling, both internally and externally. Let's challenge the facade of perfection and encourage authenticity. Because it's through these shared experiences and vulnerabilities that we truly connect and find solace in our shared humanity.We want to know who you are obsessed with--Watch Us LIVE on YouTube Every Monday - @obsessedpodcast

What does loneliness mean?
According to Brené Brown, acclaimed author of "Atlas of the Heart," loneliness is not merely about being alone but rather the absence of meaningful social connections. It's the lack of intimate relationships, friendships, family gatherings, and community or work group ties that leaves one feeling isolated.
In our current world, there's a visible trend of increasing disconnection among people, with divides widening across various lines such as race, gender, ethnicity, political beliefs, religions, and philosophies. Paradoxically, this disconnect is also fostering movements that strive to bring people together in solidarity, driven by a shared humanity and a collective yearning for a better world.
However, navigating this landscape requires immense strength and vulnerability. Remaining open-hearted amidst the challenges of today's world is daunting yet essential for survival. Loneliness, therefore, is more than just physical solitude; it's a state of disconnection that can affect anyone, even when surrounded by others, as exemplified by Tia's experience of profound loneliness following her sister's passing.
In this episode, Tia and Julie explore the nuances of loneliness, its link to disconnection, and strategies for overcoming it. They share personal insights and stories, shedding light on the journey from loneliness and disconnection towards rebuilding connections and finding belonging.
This episode is dedicated to Shelby Sandahl, Tia's beloved sister, whose impact on others' lives is remembered with love and gratitude.
Key takeaways from this episode include:
- Understanding the distinction between loneliness and solitude.
- Recognizing loneliness as a symptom of disconnection.
- Navigating the depths of despair and self-compassion.
- Cultivating self-awareness to confront loneliness.
- Embracing the inevitability of change and its impact on relationships.
- Developing emotional resilience as a shield against pain.
- Engaging in the process of rebuilding and reconnecting with one's community.
For further exploration, resources mentioned in the episode include Brené Brown's insights on core emotions and her book "Atlas of the Heart," along with the podcast episode "Obsessed with Leaning into Grief" featuring Heidi Dunstan.

Divorce and Custody are difficult. This is why you need to know what to do if you are going through a divorce or contemplating a divorce. It is even more difficult when children are involved in a divorce.

Life is what we make of it and we cannot control ANYTHING except our responses.
From The Episode:
It can be so easy to get caught up in thinking that we need to be married by a certain age or have kids by a certain age and that's not necessarily up to us. We only get to control what we can, which is our response. To what is happening around us. We can't always control the timing of things happening around us We can either believe in this abundant life and trust the path that we are walking on, trust that God, the universe, whatever you want to call this greater power, has our back, or we can live in this scarcity mindset of believing things that are not on time, they're showing up too late or too early and we're not prepared or we've been prepared for so long and it's still not happening for us and get really upset and I think that lack mentality of living in that world of things aren't happening for me when they're supposed to can really prevent us from getting to where we need to be when we need to be there.
If we let go and just start trusting in the universe, God's time, Um, we can relax and enjoy the life that we are living, enjoy the journey to getting where we want to go without having to feel like, you know, I can't enjoy this until I've met X or until I've had this experience. And to be honest, if we are living in that mentality of, I can't have X, Joy, I can't have happiness until then, then we're not even actually going to experience that happiness once we get those things that we want, because it's always going to be something greater that we want to reach for.It can be so easy to get caught up in thinking that we need to be married by a certain age or have kids by a certain age and that's not necessarily up to us.

ENNEAGRAM 2 !
Our favorite enneagram test: Free Enneagram Personality Test | Crystal Knows
Discover the Empathetic Altruist: Enneagram Type 2
Enneagram Type 2, also known as "The Helper," is a captivating and compassionate personality that brings warmth and understanding to those around them. Known for their unwavering empathy and genuine concern for others, they often find themselves at the center of social circles, offering a helping hand and a listening ear.
These natural caregivers have an innate ability to tune in to the emotional needs of those they encounter. Selfless and nurturing, they go above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of their loved ones, often putting their own needs aside in the process. Their immense capacity for love and generosity creates an atmosphere of comfort and safety, making them indispensable pillars of support for friends and family.
However, the Helper's profound desire to be needed and valued can also lead them down a path of self-neglect. Sometimes, they struggle to recognize and address their own needs, fearing that putting themselves first might jeopardize the relationships they hold dear. It is crucial for the Helper to learn the art of self-care and to understand that their worth is not solely dependent on the assistance they offer to others.
When in a state of balance, Enneagram Type 2s radiate positivity and bring out the best in those around them. They thrive in environments where they can be of service and create harmony. On the flip side, under stress, they might become overly involved in others' affairs, leading to feelings of overwhelm and exhaustion.
Embracing their incredible capacity to give and receive love, and finding a balance between their selflessness and self-care, empowers Enneagram Type 2s to lead fulfilled and meaningful lives. Through personal growth and introspection, they can continue to be the loving, supportive individuals who make the world a brighter place for everyone they touch.

Join us in this episode of Obsessed with Tia Walden as we delve into the common practice of reaching for caffeine first thing in the morning. We explore the impact of long nights and early mornings, particularly from the perspective of a mom with a teething nine-month-old. Discover the challenges of sleep deprivation and the struggle to find sustainable energy amidst exhaustion.
In this personal account, Tia Walden shares her experience of being awake every few hours throughout the night, with a particular stretch from 1:00 to 2:30 AM feeling interminable. As the morning dawned around 6:00 AM, her little one was ready to start the day while Tia herself was left drained and fatigued—craving caffeine to provide a quick fix.
However, Tia also brings her holistic nutritionist expertise to the forefront, reminding us that caffeine offers only a false sense of energy. Despite the initial boost it provides, it actually depletes our energy reserves. Many of us, including Tia herself, have fallen into this trap, relying on caffeine without realizing its drawbacks, especially during challenging times such as caring for a newborn or navigating college life.
Join us as we explore the importance of breaking the caffeine cycle and seeking sustainable sources of energy that nourish our bodies and minds. Our conversation with Tia Walden will provide valuable insights and practical tips for finding true energy and vitality, even in the midst of demanding circumstances. Don't miss this enlightening episode of Obsessed with Tia Walden!

Laziness often gets a bad rap, but the truth is that it can actually make life easier. When we embrace our lazy tendencies, we tend to prioritize our tasks and focus on what truly matters, avoiding unnecessary work and busy work. This can lead to more efficient and effective use of our time and energy. Additionally, being lazy can push us to find innovative and creative solutions to problems, as we look for the easiest and most efficient way to accomplish tasks. So, the next time you feel guilty for being lazy, remember that it can actually be a powerful tool for making your life easier and more successful.
The Power of Laziness
Contrary to popular belief, laziness can be a powerful tool for success. When we're lazy, we tend to look for ways to accomplish tasks in the easiest and most efficient way possible. This can lead to innovative solutions and creative ideas that we may not have come up with otherwise. In addition, being lazy can actually help us prioritize tasks and focus on what's truly important. By avoiding busy work and unnecessary tasks, we can focus our energy on the tasks that will have the greatest impact on our goals.
Bill Gates' Theory on Laziness
Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and one of the most successful entrepreneurs in history, has a unique theory on laziness. He believes that lazy people make the best employees because they will always find the easiest and most efficient way to complete a task. Gates has also said that he likes to hire lazy people because they'll find the quickest way to automate a process, saving time and resources in the long run.
How to Embrace Laziness in Your Life
Now that we've discussed the power of laziness and Bill Gates' theory on the subject, let's talk about how you can embrace laziness in your own life. One of the best ways to do this is to focus on what truly matters and prioritize your tasks accordingly. Don't waste time on busy work or tasks that aren't important to your goals. Additionally, look for ways to automate or streamline your tasks to make them easier and more efficient. By doing so, you'll be able to accomplish more with less effort.

In recent years, the public has been captivated by the controversy surrounding Meghan Markle, the American actress who became a member of the British Royal Family after marrying Prince Harry in 2018. Meghan has faced intense scrutiny and criticism from both the media and the public, leading to a broader conversation about issues of racism, mental health, and the importance of living your truth.
One of the key themes that have emerged from the controversy surrounding Meghan Markle is the concept of radical acceptance.
Radical acceptance refers to the process of accepting and acknowledging the reality of a situation, without judgment or resistance. In the case of Meghan, radical acceptance means acknowledging the systemic racism and sexism she has faced, both from the media and from members of the Royal Family. It also means accepting the mental health struggles she has experienced as a result of this scrutiny.
Living your truth is another important theme that has emerged from the Meghan Markle controversy. This means being true to yourself, even if it goes against societal norms or expectations.
Meghan has been criticized for breaking with tradition and asserting her own identity as an independent woman and a person of color. However, many have applauded her for being true to herself and for using her platform to speak out against injustice and discrimination.
Overall, the Meghan Markle controversy has sparked important conversations about issues of racism, mental health, and living your truth. By practicing radical acceptance and staying true to ourselves, we can all work towards creating a more just and equitable society.

Join Tia as she shares her raw experiences of her epiphany that there is nothing to fix? We discuss the beauty of embracing the present moment and accepting life as it is. Today's episode is centered around the question, "What if there is nothing to fix in my life?" We often get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, constantly trying to improve ourselves and our circumstances, but what if everything is already okay? Let's explore this concept further.
Segment 1: Acknowledging the Present
We tend to focus on the future and the things we want to achieve, but what about the present? It's essential to take a moment and reflect on our current situation, what we have, and who we are. It's okay to appreciate our present circumstances, even if they're not perfect. We can find contentment and happiness by accepting and embracing the present.
Segment 2: The Pressure to Constantly Improve
Society puts an immense amount of pressure on us to be better, whether it's our relationships, career, or personal growth. It's easy to get caught up in this cycle of constantly needing to improve, but what if we don't need fixing? It's okay to recognize our strengths and focus on what we're good at, rather than always striving for perfection.
Segment 3: Finding Joy in the Mundane
We often associate joy with big accomplishments or milestones, but what about finding joy in the simple things in life? We can find contentment and happiness in the mundane, everyday tasks we do. It's about shifting our perspective and appreciating the small things in life.
Segment 4: Embracing Imperfections
We all have flaws and imperfections, but that's what makes us unique and human. Instead of constantly trying to fix ourselves, we can embrace our imperfections and learn to love ourselves as we are. Self-acceptance is a powerful tool that can bring us a lot of peace and happiness.
Thank you for listening to our podcast today. We hope that this episode has given you some insight into the beauty of embracing the present moment and accepting life as it is. Remember that it's okay to acknowledge the present, find joy in the mundane, and embrace our imperfections. Life is not always perfect, but that's what makes it beautiful.

"You are not taking your skinny body to Heaven"--Debbie Kubitz
As a body positivity advocate, she is changing the narrative for women to be empowered no matter their size or how they look.
For far too long, society has perpetuated unrealistic beauty standards that have left many women feeling inadequate and unworthy. These standards have been reinforced through advertising, media, and even personal relationships, leading to a culture of body shaming and low self-esteem.
However, Kubitz is challenging this harmful narrative by promoting self-love, body positivity, and inclusivity. She uses her platform to encourage women to embrace their bodies, no matter what shape or size they may be. She promotes the idea that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and that every woman deserves to feel confident and beautiful.

Welcome to the Obsessed Podcast, where we dive deep into all things Enneagram with the Enneagram superstar, Dr. Tom LaHue. In this episode, we will explore the nine different Enneagram types and how the Enneagram can change relationships. We are joined by co-hosts Life Coach Brittni Finlay and Enneagram Enthusiast and Pampered Chef Phenom Teri Bales.
Learn more about Dr. Tom @ https://tomlahue.com
The Enneagram is a personality typing system that helps individuals understand themselves and others better. There are nine different Enneagram types, each with its own unique motivations, fears, and behaviors.
Type 1, also known as the Perfectionist, is driven by a desire to be good and right. They have a strong sense of right and wrong and are motivated by the need to improve themselves and the world around them.
Type 2, the Helper, is motivated by a desire to be loved and needed. They are often generous and giving, but can also be manipulative in their efforts to help others.
Type 3, the Achiever, is driven by a desire to succeed and be recognized for their accomplishments. They are often goal-oriented and can struggle with feeling like they are never doing enough.
Type 4, the Individualist, is motivated by a desire to be unique and special. They are often creative and introspective, but can also struggle with feelings of envy and melancholy.
Type 5, the Investigator, is driven by a desire to understand and have knowledge. They are often independent and cerebral, but can also struggle with social interactions and emotional expression.
Type 6, the Loyalist, is motivated by a desire for security and stability. They are often loyal and responsible, but can also struggle with anxiety and indecisiveness.
Type 7, the Enthusiast, is driven by a desire to experience life to the fullest. They are often spontaneous and adventurous, but can also struggle with impulsivity and avoiding negative emotions.
Type 8, the Challenger, is motivated by a desire for control and power. They are often assertive and decisive, but can also struggle with vulnerability and empathy.
Type 9, the Peacemaker, is driven by a desire for harmony and peace. They are often easy-going and adaptable, but can also struggle with indecisiveness and avoidance of conflict.
Understanding the Enneagram types can help individuals better understand themselves and others. It can also provide insight into how different types can interact and affect one another in relationships.
For example, a Type 2 and Type 8 may struggle in a relationship because the Type 2 may feel overshadowed by the Type 8's assertiveness and need for control. Similarly, a Type 4 and Type 7 may struggle because the Type 7's desire for constant stimulation may clash with the Type 4's need for introspection and emotional depth.
However, through understanding and awareness of each other's Enneagram types, individuals can learn to navigate these differences and strengthen their relationships. This can include practicing empathy, communication, and understanding each other's motivations and fears.

What is the Enneagram?
Jules is taking a class on the enneagram and is so excited to share!⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇
The Enneagram can be a useful tool for individuals going through difficult challenges such as divorce or financial struggles by providing insight into their own personality type and how it may be impacting their experiences. For example, an individual who has identified as a type 3 on the Enneagram may have a tendency to overwork and strive for success, which could be contributing to the stress and burnout they are experiencing. By understanding this tendency, the individual can make conscious efforts to set boundaries, prioritize self-care, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Additionally, understanding the Enneagram types of those around them, such as a spouse or partner, it can help individuals in a divorce to understand their partner's perspective and communicate more effectively. It can also help in business and financial struggles by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of yourself and your team, in order to optimize the use of resources and improve collaboration and decision-making.
The Enneagram can also be used in personal development and self-awareness, by understanding your own type and its motivations, you can identify areas of growth and work on them to become a better version of yourself.
It's important to note that the Enneagram should be used as a tool in conjunction with other forms of support such as therapy, counseling, or financial planning. It should not be seen as a replacement for professional help.
The Enneagram is a personality typing system that can help individuals gain a better understanding of themselves and others. By identifying your Enneagram type, you can learn about your strengths, weaknesses, motivations, and potential blind spots. This knowledge can be used to improve your relationships, communication, and overall well-being. Additionally, understanding the Enneagram can also help you identify the types of people you are likely to have the most harmonious relationships with and those which you may have more difficulty with. Enneagram can also be used in the workplace to understand team dynamics and improve team collaboration.

You can do hard things. You are strong and you are capable to do ANYTHING! Tia Walden is back--after a post-partum break which involves loving on the cutest Obsessed baby of all times. Tia knows that you can do hard--we can do hard--listen in to her inspirational message, but first a note from Tia:
Just trust the process, surrender to it, and. If today feels almost impossible to get through, remember that you have made it through the hardest days of your life in the past, and you will make it through today too, and tomorrow will be a new day. No matter what happens the rest of this day, no matter what happens the rest of the night, you will make it through tomorrow, and tomorrow is a new day to.
New energy and new experiences and that this moment or any of the moments that you feel are almost impossible to get through won't last forever, that you will be able to get through these times of grief or hardship or unknown uncertainty, whatever it is you may be dealing with today. , it was meant for you.
This is part of your path, and you are going to survive because you have survived every single thing that you thought you wouldn't. And I know you will make it through this too. And this is the moment that you discover your power. This is the day that you realize that it's always been within you, and it always will be within you because it's always been you.
You don't need to rely on anything outside. You don't need to rely on any of the circumstances. You're. Within or rely on any of the people around you. You only need to rely on yourself because you are strong. You have that strength within you, and you are capable of making it through anything and everything you put your mind to.
So get obsessed with your life. Get obsessed with who you are, not the circumstances that you are in, and you will be able make it through everything that is put into your path. xoxo-Tia

Let's do things better the next year. Join Julie and Mika as they get deep in conversation with each other about the things that matter the most--what holds us back professionally and personally.
According to scholastic.com:
Around the age of seven, give or take a year, children enter a developmental phase known as the age of reason. “The age of reason refers to the developmental cognitive, emotional, and moral stage in which children become more capable of rational thought, have internalized a conscience, and have a better capacity to control impulses (than in previous stages),” It’s the time when a child starts to truly grasp the difference between right and wrong, and begins to realize that other people have their own feelings that might not match his or hers.
Do you feel that you need to prove yourself to others even though deep in your heart you know you are a rockstar?
Why do we need validation from others? Jules and Mika answer this burning question so you can rise to a more conscience life and be the bigger and better version of yourself.
We always feel the need to prove ourselves to others and then we lack the worth within ourselves organically.

Get ready Obsessors! Valerie Livesay is back and giving us a treat! Join us today as Valerie reads a chapter from her wildly successful book, Leaving The Ghost Light Burning. Make sure you check out her generous offer below ⬇⬇⬇
It can be challenging to catch up on old times when you haven't seen someone for a while. You may feel like you've changed, and they're still stuck in the past. This can especially happen when meeting a new person, your family, or another person you're accustomed to seeing in a certain way.
It can feel like they are pulling you back into the past, and you struggle to be seen as the person you are now. And it can be even more frustrating when your own family sees you this way.
It's important to remember that you are allowed to grow and change, and the same goes for the person you used to be. They may not recognize you now, but that doesn't mean you're not worth their time.
But this doesn't have to be a negative experience. If you're prepared for it, you can use it as an opportunity to write, flip, and change the script and storyline to show them how far you've come. That's what we will be talking about in this episode with Valerie Livesay, PhD , the author of Leaving the Ghost Light Burning.
Valerie has been thinking about and inquiring into the phenomenon of fallback for more than a decade. Following a career in higher education in both administration and faculty roles, Valerie now serves as the Chief Illuminator at Ghost Light Leadership, where she accompanies individuals through their discovery of self using the analogy of theater to set the stage for their historical and unfolding story.

The game of ping pong, also known as table tennis, is often seen as a simple game that anyone can play. However, for Wally Green, ping pong saved his life and opened him up to all the possibilities that life had to offer, from the mean streets of the inner city to the international arena.
For a guy born into a life of abuse and turmoil, Wally had a chance encounter with the sport that kept him out of jail and gave him a sense of purpose. At first, he was only interested in playing to bully those he saw playing the sport.
However, he soon realized that ping pong was more than just a game – it was a way to connect with people. It was a way to build relationships and trust. It was a way to find peace.
Wally discovered a talent for table tennis and went on to become a renowned International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) Pro Tour professional, co-founder of SPiN, and a TEDx speaker. He now travels the world, using ping pong as a way to connect with people and spread the message of peace, even in North Korea.
In a world filled with so much hate, it is essential to turn that hate into positive energy. It's time for us to change the landscape. It's time for us to start believing in ourselves and doing the things we're meant to do. It's time to get crap done. Wally has been able to use his story to inspire others and show them that overcoming any obstacle in life is possible.
What You Will Learn From This Episode
03:08 - Wally’s early beginnings
15:12 - Turning hate into positive energy
22:53 - Being homeless and getting into the world of ping pong
31:32- Co-founding and finding success with SPiN
33:46 - Never be afraid to ask for help
34:51 - The need for parents to listen to their children

Everybody experiences difficulties, hurt, and pain in life. It would be more surprising if we did not encounter any problems at all. How we deal with these situations makes us who we are.
The saying that we learn more from our failures than our successes is true, especially regarding toxicities and setbacks in our lives. These experiences can shape us in ways we never thought possible – for better or worse.
However, we have the power to choose how these things impact us. We can either let them control us or use them as rocket fuel to propel us forward. In this episode, we're going to explore with Mike "C-Roc" Ciorrocco how to convert setbacks and toxicities in our lives into rocket fuel that can help us break barriers and level up.
In addition, Mike shares his story of how he used his life experiences to transform and achieve his full potential. For Mike, if we want to maintain our current level of success or even take things to the next level, we need to constantly assess ourselves – even when things are going well.
Mike is the Co-Founder of the innovative tech platform 'blooprinted,' the powerhouse behind the "What Are You Made Of?" podcast, and the best-selling author of 'ROCKET FUEL: Convert Setbacks. Become Unstoppable'. A performance coach, author, dynamic public speaker, tech visionary, and thought leader, he has been featured by Yahoo! Finance as one of the Top Business Leaders to Follow in 2020 and is on a mission to build unstoppable people.

The Enneagram is an ancient wisdom tradition used for centuries to help people understand themselves and others. It is a powerful self-awareness and personal growth tool that can be used in all areas of life, from relationships to work to spirituality.
It provides us with a map of nine different personality types, each with a unique way of seeing the world and interacting with others. By understanding our personality type, we can gain insight into our strengths and weaknesses and learn how to live a life that aligns with who we are.
The Enneagram is not just a personality test; it's a framework for understanding ourselves and others. It's a tool for wisdom and understanding. By learning about the Enneagram, we can learn about ourselves and others in a new and more profound way.

Note From Obsessed: Julie is having a bad day so let's give her some grace. We all have bad days. It is inevitable. We are humans and we are not promised happiness (ever). What can turn a bad day around? A random act of kindness.
According to the Berkley Wellness Institute:
The Benefits of Random Acts of KindnessKindness is one of the most valued character strengths in Western society (Binfet, 2015). We like kind people, so being kind can help us be liked. Beyond that, being kind has been shown to boost not only others’ well-being but also our own personal well-being. For example, if we spend more money on others we are generally happier, and if we volunteer to help others, we are generally healthier (Curry et al., 2018).
Why might random acts of kindness be good for us?
Some researchers have proposed that happiness is just the emotional experience we have when we act in ways that promote our survival. Given that kindness helps us build healthy relationships with others—others who may be able to protect and support us—evolutionary psychologists believe that kindness makes us happy because it helps us survive and thrive. This may be especially true when we help family, friends, community members, and spouses (Curry et al., 2018).
Who practices random acts of kindness?
Researchers suggest that some people are more likely to practice random acts of kindness than others. Here are some of the things that might lead us to be kind:
- Witnessing our parents engage in random acts of kindness likely makes it more likely that we will too. Monkey see monkey do, right?
- If someone tells us that we’re kind, we might also be more likely to engage in random acts of kindness.
- If we see someone else showing kindness, we are more likely to show kindness. Researchers suggest that kindness is even contagious (Baskerville et al., 2000).

Get Obsessed with your life. #obsessedpodcast
We all have moments in life when everything is against us, and quitting seems like the best option. It's in these moments when we need a friend or somebody to shine a light on us and tell us to continue. And that's what heroes are for.
In life, there are always going to be people and moments that help to shape and change the trajectory that your life is on. Sometimes these changes are small, and sometimes they are big. But, the one thing is that you never know when they will happen.
But what about the times when these people are about to quit? Are you there to tell them to continue? To not give up? That they can do it? You could be the one they need to shine a light on their life and tell them to keep going. That's one of the things that we'll delve into in this second part of a momentum-filled episode featuring Evan Carmichael.
If you have the opportunity to help someone, why not take it? You could be the one that saves a life or changes someone for the better. In this episode, we'll also explore with Evan the importance of always moving forward and being open to new possibilities, in addition to digging deeper introspectively with the insights about momentum from last week's episode!
Evan believes that entrepreneurs can be successful on their own terms. While dealing with some failures and problems, Evan was still able to find success at a young age and now runs a highly successful YouTube channel, is an author of four books, and is recognized by Forbes as a renowned speaker on leadership and social media. Evan is working to solve the world's biggest problem of people not believing in themselves enough through good karma projects and initiatives that have the potential to impact a billion people.

01:53 - Featuring prominent women and their entrepreneurial successes

Do you ever find yourself feeling stuck? You have the heart, talent, and abilities – but you can't seem to get moving for some reason. No matter how much you try, you can't seem to get the momentum you need to achieve your goals.
If this sounds familiar, don't worry – you're not alone. In today's world, we are constantly bombarded with messages that tell us we need to do more, be more, and have more. Many of us overthink, over plan, and over strategize. We want everything to be perfect.
However, sometimes this quest for perfection can be our downfall. We can get so caught up in the planning and execution that we lose momentum. We think we need to have everything perfect before we start. But the reality is that momentum is more important than perfection.
So if you're waiting for the perfect moment to start, Evan Carmichael joins us again for the first of a two-part episode to tell you that it's time to start now. Time to take the first step and to begin the journey to becoming the person you want to be. With momentum, Evan finished his latest book, Momentum, in just five days and got it published on the eighth day!

If You Want A Steamy Thriller That Will Have You On The Edge of Your Seat Check Out Double Obsession--Our New Favorite Sexy Read By Nicki Pascarella! www.nickipascarella.com
Let's talk ARCHETYPES. What is an archetype?
An archetype is a literary device in which a character is created based on a set of qualities or traits that are specific and identifiable for readers. The term archetype is derived from the studies and writings of psychologist Carl Jung who believed that archetypes are part of humanity’s collective unconscious or memory of universal experiences. In a literary context, characters (and sometimes images or themes) that symbolically embody universal meanings and basic human experiences, independent of time or place, are considered archetypes.
Today we are talking about FEMALE ARCHETYPES. We are talking about all things female and the characteristics of women that you should understand more deeply.
Reach out to me--JULES @ www.julielokuncoaching.com

Self-care has become a buzzword recently, but what does it really mean? Self-care is simply the act of taking care of oneself physically and mentally. It’s about taking the time to do things that make you feel good and improve your overall health.
We should never underestimate the power of self-care. It is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves, yet so many of us never take the time to truly care for ourselves. We are always on the go, juggling work, family, and social obligations. We never seem to have time for ourselves.
But what if our guest Meha Agrawal tells you that taking just a few minutes or even hours out of your day to journal and understand and process your thoughts and feelings can profoundly impact your life? It’s true! Journaling can help you discover your values, goals, and aspirations.
Meha explains in this episode how journaling can help us understand ourselves better and start the process of self-care. It can be challenging to start and keep journaling, but it is essential to stick with it. The more you journal, the more you will appreciate its power.
Meha is the Founder & CEO of Silk and Sonder, a women’s self-care and mental wellness startup. She was previously a software engineer and product manager for Goldman Sachs, Stitch Fix, The Muse, and Fueled. Now, she is on a mission to transform the way modern women reflect, rejuvenate, and achieve through the power of pen to paper, data, and community.

In this second part of our interview with Dr. Nima Rahmany, we are bringing our outtakes right back at you. It was a conversion that nearly brought us to tears. You will discover his intuitive ability to understand trauma, where we do not even know trauma in our lives, is genius!
Dr. Nima reveals that when we understand trauma, we will understand when things get triggered. Our body goes into this active protective state. And it's trying to go into protection.
He explains that we need to understand and validate our autonomic nervous system state first and join ourselves where we are at without judging our feelings for being wrong before we consider the law of attraction. He emphasizes that the problem is that the law of attraction is missing key steps that are damaging to those who are trauma survivors, which all of us are.
He reminds us that our tears are part of the healing. And if we want to understand our history and come to peace with it, we have to go to our parents' history and their parents' history.

It is undeniable that life will, at some point, challenge us. The question is not if this will happen, but when it will happen and how we will deal with it. We may not always be able to control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond.
Our ability to deal with these challenges depends heavily on our level of resilience and bravery. Resilience helps us to withstand and recover from adversity, while bravery allows us to take risks and seize opportunities.
When we take the time to develop resilience and bravery, we open up new possibilities for ourselves and our lives full of authenticity, joy, and love. We can face our challenges with confidence, and we can seize opportunities with excitement and enthusiasm. These are not fixed traits you either have or don't have. You can build resilience and bravery by taking steps to develop them in yourself.
In this episode, we, together with our guest Pamela Brinker will explore different ways in which we can develop both our resilience and bravery – done with full awareness and intention. Pamela will also discuss the power of therapy and how it can help us create the life we know we're meant for.
Pamela Brinker is a writer who has worked as an integrative psychotherapist for over three decades. With extensive training in somatic work, she equips and empowers others to learn and use transpersonal techniques building upon intrinsic, conscious bravery. Having developed over 20 tools and practices, Pamela speaks, teaches & writes about bravery, resilience, and presence during adversity. Her new book, Conscious Bravery, teaches us how to train in bravery using solid concepts, tools, and practices.
What You Will Learn From This Episode
01:49 – What Pamela Brinker is obsessed with
02:35 – Being a braveologist and training our innate bravery
08:17 – The power of therapy and starting Conscious Bravery

Special Co-host Julie Riga, author of the best-selling book Stay on Course, podcast host of Stay on Course and Leadership Expert, https://julieriga.com
—
The fear of failure keeps many people from achieving their dreams and living a life of purpose. We often equate failure with not being good enough or not measuring up to some ideal standard.
This way of thinking is actually a form of perfectionism, an unrealistic and harmful belief system. It is the voice in our head that tells us we are not good enough, that we will never be good enough. This voice leads us to believe that failure is not an option.
The truth is that failure is an essential part of the human experience. Every time we fail, we get one step closer to our purpose. Without failure, we would never know what we are truly capable of. We would never push ourselves out of our comfort zones.
In this episode, Dr. Laura Cobb returns with guest co-host Julie Riga to discuss fighting back against this message of perfectionism and how failure can be a path to educating ourselves towards authenticity and greatness.
Dr. Laura is a life coach who empowers high-achieving women to rid themselves of fear, guilt, and shame to proudly and confidently suit up, show up, step up, and speak up at every opportunity. She sees herself as an ordinary woman making extraordinary choices one day at a time.
What You Will Learn From This Episode:
02:05 - Failure leading us closer to our purpose and true calling
05:01 - Failure as a stepping stone to growth
07:42 - Contribution over contamination in a relationship
09:51 - Continuing to learn with every additional experience
11:02 - Why do we feel we need to be perfect
12:09 - The difference between shame and humiliation (Brené Brown)

20:13 - Teaching resilience to our children

In this episode of Obsessed, we pay tribute to the life of Queen Elizabeth who reigned for 70 years- her legacy is a testament to a woman driven by duty and led by passion, her family, and her trusted advisors.
👶BUT FIRST- Let us congratulate our very own host Tia Walden and her husband Austin Walden on the birth of their son Otto Lyle! We could not be more excited as they start their family! Family hood is an adventure and the most rewarding experience! Congratulations Walden family!
This week has been a roller coaster of emotions from joy and then the collective sorrow of a nation and world upon the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. We are superfans of Queen Elizabeth and are mourning her life and celebrating her legacy. NBC reported the news on the Queens passing.
The death of Queen Elizabeth II is being mourned in Britain and around the world. The country’s longest-reigning monarch died Thursday at age 96.
Large crowds gathered outside Buckingham Palace in central London, while tributes poured in from across the country and around the world. Fears about the queen's health had been growing as the royal family rushed to Scotland to be by her side after Buckingham Palace said she had been placed under medical supervision.
Few Britons have known another monarch, so the end of Elizabeth’s reign after more than 70 years will thrust the royal family — and Britain — into days of mourning and an uncertain new era.
The country's new king, who will be known as King Charles III, has released a statement and will address the nation Friday.

Royal mourning period to be observed for 7 days after funeralChantal Da Silva
A period of Royal Mourning will be observed from now until seven days after Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
The date of the funeral has yet to be announced, but will be confirmed "in due course," it said, adding that the period of royal mourning will be observed by members of the royal family, royal household staff, and representatives of the royal household on official duties, along with troops committed to ceremonial duties.
Royal residences are also expected to be closed until after the queen's funeral, including the Queen's Gallery and the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, along with the Queen's Gallery in Edinburgh, the statement said.
Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House, the queen's private estates, will also be closed during the mourning period, in addition to Hillsborough Castle in Northern Island, it added.

🦋Here is a little special. This is an old-school episode with Jules and Mika discussing what really matters--the hard stuff.
Do you believe your life is meant for more? Yet, you are in a funk or feeling STUCK? Mika and Jules get together in Florida to talk about being in a funk. The weather can be a contributor to your funk. Being complacent can lead to depression, malaise, and gray days. We all go through bad news, bad weather, and challenges.
We tend to compare ourselves to others which makes life more difficult. Yet, we need to understand that we cannot do life alone. We need to understand that life is better together.
Comparison is the thief of joy. Stop COMPARING yourself to others because you never can compete with the filters of Instagram or snapshots of someone else's life.
The 3 C's--⬇
comparing, competing, complaining, and criticizing
What is worse is when we compare ourselves to the life we thought we should be living. We understand the power of living in the now.
Get inspired by surrounding yourself with people that are one or two steps ahead of you on your journey.

The way we think about our lives is something that can hold us back or propel us forward. Too often, we allow negative thinking to take control, preventing us from reaching our potential. If we want to change how we think about our lives, we must get real with ourselves.
What does it mean to be real with ourselves? It means being honest about who we are and what we want. It means letting go of the things that hold us back. However, it can be challenging and hard to sort through all the noise to figure out what is truly important to us.
Our guest Theresa Agostinelli is on a mission to change how we think about our lives, and she's getting real with us in this episode. In her new book, "The GRID System: Creating More of What's Good in Your Life," she leads the way in achieving our goals and reaching our potential.
In the beginning, all the odds were against Theresa. But her perseverance led her out of survival mode and to a thriving life. She is showing us that it is possible to live a life that is authentic and fulfilling. She is helping us to see that we are capable of so much more than we ever thought possible.
Professor Theresa Agostinelli, LCSW, is a prolific writer and motivational speaker. She is the CEO of Glen Mills Coaching and Consulting, a licensed therapist, and now a renowned speaker worldwide teaching the tools of The GRID System. She leans into the inspiration of building community and profiting with purpose for business professionals and those on a personal development journey.

Stressed? Overwhelmed? We all as humans are likely to do the dance with stress and overwhelm. The human experience is not easy.
Deep Breath. It is often so hard to keep going when you get beaten up left and right.
But guess what? You have the choice to do things differently. Every day you have the opportunity to start over. This is the gift that we are given as humans. We get caught up in the minutiae of life. We think that what we are doing is the right thing to do because it is comfortable. Comfort is just like routine. Routine is necessary but it is like living in a comfort zone.
According to the website science of people:
Comfort zone
If you’re starting at ground zero, this is the state you’re in. It feels secure, and you feel in control because you’re familiar with this space and know what to expect.
For instance, eating the same breakfast every morning and denying any other food because it’s not in your routine is a perfect example of staying within your comfort zone.
Learning zone
The learning zone is the cure to the fear zone. As the zone title suggests, this is where you learn about the new endeavor you’re about to engage in and acquire new skills to overcome the challenge.
Perhaps you learn about how oat milk is great for you. You watch YouTube videos on how it’s made, making you feel comfortable about adding it to your breakfast menu.
Growth zone
Here is where you take what you’ve learned and try it out.
The growth zone is where you learn to set new goals and live them out, regardless of how well you do. The goal is to realize your strengths and use them to obtain new outcomes.

When a marriage breaks down, it can be hard on everyone involved. But, when children are caught in the middle, it can be even more challenging. Parental alienation is a form of emotional abuse that can happen during a divorce. It occurs when one parent tries to turn the child against the other parent.
It can be hard to know what to do when your child is being alienated from you. You may feel like you are walking on eggshells all the time. Or you may feel like you are exhausting all your options to try to reach your child. In addition, this can have a profound and lasting impact on the child, leading to emotional damage that can last well into adulthood.
If you are going through a divorce, it is essential to be aware of parental alienation and its potential effects on your children. In this episode, we will explore, together with our guests Kindra Beck and G. Mick Smith, the realities of parental alienation. Kindra and Mick have seen firsthand the devastating effects of parental alienation.
Kindra, a proud mom of two boys, is a legislative pioneer trying to change the landscape of parental alienation in addition to being a life coach, motivational speaker, and an experienced marketer and sales leader.

We are constantly evolving and growing day by day. We face many challenges and obstacles in our lives, and sometimes it can feel like we're just trying to survive.
It's been said that we all have two lives. The first life is the one we live until we realize we have a second life. The second life is the one we live after discovering our purpose to lead a fulfilling life.
For our guest Charlie Cifarelli, he found his purpose in life through a viral video of a homeless man's companion named Star, who was shot by the New York Police Department.
Through Star, Charlie is able to live his second life where he pursues justice and truth as well as valuing compassion, empathy, understanding, and humanity. In this episode, we'll hear about his story and mission to help others, especially through his book 14th & 2nd.
From Long Island, life dealt Charlie a difficult hand early on. He was born in a position not to succeed and lived a lifetime of secrecy. He worked hard and found success by rising through the ranks in the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services and then starting his own successful business. In addition, Charlie is also the co-founder of a nonprofit organization, a sought-after speaker at various business and social awareness functions, and has been featured in the media regarding animal advocacy.

Energy Vampires are everywhere. They take and take and take and you are left depleted and exhausted. Today is the day you start saying no to the energy vampires in your lives. You need to take the reigns of your energy and reach out to get poured into it.
Learn About Omega-3s: With Orlo Nutrition
What is an energy vampire? How can you recognize one? Relationships are always an energy exchange. Accoriding to Dr. Judith Orloff, to stay feeling our best, we must ask ourselves: Who gives us energy? Who saps it? It’s important to be surrounded by supportive, heart-centered people who make us feel safe and secure. It’s equally important to pinpoint the energy vampires, who, whether they intend to or not, leech our energy.
Positive energy in others can be rejuvenating. For instance, you’re nervous about a job interview, but the minute you meet your prospective boss you relax. He’s so calm and welcoming, you calm down too. Or perhaps you have a good friend around whom you always feel loved. These energy-givers are people to treasure. The more you surround yourself with positive people, the more you will attract them. In your life, these are people you must gravitate towards. Having a circle of positive people around you can also repel energy vampires. Positive attracts positive. Negative attracts negative. So, your conscious actions in choosing relationships can make a huge difference in your energy level and the quality of your life!

Julie had the amazing opportunity to talk with Joe Kenda, the star of Discovery Network's hit television show Homicide Hunter. This got her thinking about the fragility of life. We hope you are inspired by the message she received from a true hero.
Kenda has seen the most unimaginable situations. Kenda has seen the death of the most gruesome ilk. Stress seems diminished when you get out of your own head. There are a lot of bad things that are going on in this world. Understanding that your problems are not as big as the next persons-you can eliminate ruminations and being stuck.
You have a choice in everything you do. Are you making decisions in the alignment of who you want to be and where you want to go? All you have to do is to take action. You are holding yourself back (notwithstanding grief or mental illness).
This is an inspirational minisode that will make you think a little differently about your life. You have a choice. Start talking to yourself differently.

There are a lot of things that you can do to be good. But what does it take to be great? That's one of the things that we'll delve into in this second part of an obsessed-filled episode featuring Evan Carmichael.
Many people aspire to goodness, but few aspire to greatness. Why is this? Is it because they don't believe they have what it takes? Or is it because they don't know what it takes? It is often said that failure is the key to success. This may be true, but it is also important to remember that greatness can come from failure.
It's not enough to be good at something to be great. You must be passionate about it and willing to put in the hard work to get there. In this episode, we'll explore with Evan what it takes to go from being good at something to being great at it, in addition to digging deeper introspectively with the insights about belief and grief from last week's episode!
Evan believes that entrepreneurs can be successful on their own terms. While dealing with some failures and problems, Evan was still able to find success at a young age and now runs a highly successful YouTube channel, is an author of four books, and is recognized by Forbes as a renowned speaker on leadership and social media. Evan is working to solve the world's biggest problem of people not believing in themselves enough through good karma projects and initiatives that have the potential to impact a billion people.
What You Will Learn From This Episode:
00:53 - Too much cannot be a good enough reason
03:59 - Limiting your talents when it could be greater
05:54 - Going after the greatness
10:58 - Stressing over things while grieving
11:50 - Failing to accomplish your goals and dancing towards success
16:39 - Knowing exactly what you don’t want

There are moments in our lives when we know we are capable of more than we currently do. We have a glimpse of the person we could become if we decide to pursue it. But sometimes, things or events get in the way of our happiness and success.
For Tia, she grieved immensely after her sister's sudden death and felt immense loneliness and disconnection from others. This turned her world inside out and temporarily held her back from becoming what she desires to be. As our guest Evan Carmichael stated, grief is a highly individualized experience, and each person expresses and processes it in their own way and time.
It's not always easy to become who we know we can or want to be. This is a journey that takes time, energy, and courage. We must be willing to put in the hard work and motivation despite the circumstances that come our way. With this, you'll be able to come back with even more fire than before.
Speaking of time, this is the first of a two-part episode featuring Evan as we are very obsessed with him and what he has to share on how we can become the person we want to be!
Evan believes that entrepreneurs can be successful on their own terms. While dealing with some failures and problems, Evan was still able to find success at a young age and now runs a highly successful YouTube channel, is an author of four books, and is recognized by Forbes as a renowned speaker on leadership and social media.

Get Obsessed with your life. #obsessedpodcast
What does it mean to be a goddess? And how can you be a sober goddess? In today’s episode our gorgeous guest talks about the power of neutrality on the road to goddess-hood. Julie is obsessed with the perfect lip and the power of being a sober human.
For our guest Julie Jacobs, it means learning about yourself, what makes you happy, and how you can contribute to the planet. It means having a solid sense of self-awareness and connection with your intuition. It means embracing your femininity and using your power for good. It means living your life with purpose, and passion, and positively impacting the world.
As women, we sometimes put undue pressure on ourselves to succeed, be the perfect wife and mother (or to have it all), look a certain way, and have an answer for everything. For Julie, the key to unlocking our full potential as women - and living our best lives - is discovering our goddessness.
We are all goddesses, but discovering and unlocking our goddessness can be challenging. This is very much applicable in today's world, where many women feel overwhelmed and confused since there is no one right way to live your life and there is no single answer to the question of what makes someone. In this episode, Julie will share some tips on how you can start discovering your goddessness and sharing the message with other women.
Julie uses service, humor, and curiosity to guide women to confidently live their most beautiful lives. A sober human, military spouse, mother, and champion of women, she channels her gifts and skills through Julie Jacobs Coaching. Here, she provides women a safe place, inclusive, and thorough coaching experience. In addition, she is also the host of the Goddess Gather Here Podcast, where she and her guests delve into the business of self-care, personal growth, glass ceiling shattering, and lifting each other.
What You Will Learn From This Episode
01:49 - What does it take to be a goddess
03:06 - Proclaiming your goddessness
09:43 - From the bottom to feeling your goddess self
16:15 - Being a human and setting certain expectations

Are you a rule follower? Is your love for rules allowing you to like a maverick mindset? #breaktherules Inspired by the movie Top Gun and the mindset of Maverick-this is the tools you need to live an unorthodox life.
How can we, as humans up our game with emotional integrity? Quite simply it is to take calculated risks and be authentic. Ask yourself- are feeling burnout from doing everything and nothing is happening? If the answer is yes, listen on. Personal and professional satisfaction starts with self-awareness. Life satisfaction starts and begins with living an unorthodox life.
Building your personal or professional brand begins on a journey of discovery.
The Maverick-Inspired tips to holistic growth:
Tip #1: The Mission
First and foremost, our favorite tool is writing a mission statement. There is profound power in seeing the foundation of your vision and values scrawled on paper. A mission statement cannot simply be written and read.
Your mission statement needs to be lived.
A mission statement needs to articulate why you exist, what you stand for and the goals you strive for. On paper, your mission statement is powerful. However, inaction nullifies your mission. A mission statement is only powerful when you take inspired action.
I am obsessed with the power of a mission statement. It can be a confusing exercise in putting pen to paper-so I often recommend Franklin Covey's Mission Statement Builder. This mission statement builder is easy to follow and prompts you with questions to curate a statement that reflects where you are and where you want to go.
For more about living a maverick mindset listen to our episode on The Mediacasters featuring Garry E. Hall!
Post Script:
We just had the opportunity to interview the original Maverick, helicopter pilot, and really nice human and family man, Rear Admiral Garry E. Hall. Garry served as the national security advisor to the president and has a podcast called Admiral's Almanac. Garry embodies the gusto of Maverick and stays rooted in his mission.

What is the Enneagram?
Truity.com explains:
According to the Enneagram, each of the nine personality types is defined by a particular core belief about how the world works. This core belief drives your deepest motivations and fears — and fundamentally shapes a person's worldview and the perspective through which they see the world and the people around them.
Our core beliefs are not necessarily incorrect, but they can be limiting and operate as “blinders” for people. Understanding our Enneagram type and how it colors our perceptions can help us to broaden our perspective and approach situations more effectively.
Understanding a person's Enneagram type helps us to see why they behave the way they do. Each Enneagram type has a set of core beliefs that will consistently motivate them to take particular actions and guide them to make certain decisions. Behavior that may seem confusing or contradictory can often be explained when we understand a person's Enneagram type.
The Enneagram also helps us understand how people react to stress. By describing how each Enneatype adapts and responds to both stressful and supportive situations, the Enneagram shows opportunities for personal development and provides a foundation for the understanding of others
What is the enneagram?
According to Truity.com: The Enneagram is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. The Enneagram describes nine personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-pointed diagram which helps to illustrate how the types relate to one another.

Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee this week inspired this story of a lesson learned about the fairytale we are all hoping to live. Inspired by the life of Princess Diana, Jules takes a trip down memories lane as we revisit the fairytale wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. The story of a Princess who believed in her fairytale. The tragedy of Princess Diana is one engrained in history forever.
We all have a story within us. What is that story and where does this story come from? Do you know you are meant for more? Exploring your story and the narrative you tell yourself is a powerful way to navigate your real-life story. This is the season of weddings which spurs hope and love. This season of festivity promises a happily ever after. Yet, often the hope and promise of a fairytale can be the one only the Grimm Brothers could create.
We make exceptions for the pain we suffer. The beauty of our stories is in the devastation of our stories and how we pick ourselves up and the lessons we learn from pain.
Get obsessed with your fairytale. Get obsessed with your life. We all have the power to live a life of our powerful fairytale-- in accordance with reality?

In this episode, Heidi Dunstan talks about how to deal with grief and help somebody grieving.
She talks about why grief is love and why grieving should never be done alone by someone in grief. Many times, grief is love. They have to find a new way to love their person.
Heidi reminds us that grief is not just when the funeral happens. It happens for months and years after. She reveals the power of asking, "How's today?" to someone who is in grief and wants to run away.
This episode is perfect for someone who is in grief or for someone who wants to know how to help someone who is grieving.
Heidi Dunstan is a grief advocate and educator. Her passion for helping others learn more about grief, and how to support others who are grieving came after losing her husband unexpectedly almost 3 years ago. Her experience with friends and loved ones saying the wrong thing or completely disappearing gave her firsthand experience that many people have never learned how to grieve, which often leaves grievers to grieve in isolation. Heidi believes that grief is love and it should never be done alone, so she teaches people what to say and not say to grievers, giving them the tools to lean into grief so we can all grieve with grace.

What is your zone of genius? And how do we release the spiral away from our zone of genius? In this minisode, we talk about the zone of genius and how to get yourself there. It is a lot easier to spiral downwards than spiral upwards.
Ask yourself--are you a human doing or a human being? Who do you want to be? When you are confident in your zone of genius you can combat imposter syndrome and self-doubt. When you are confident in your zone of genius you are able to take a leap of faith and grow relationships with like-minded people.
We’ve all heard the story before: we need to be present in order to find our zone of genius and live a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. But what if you’re not even sure where your zone is? That's when it can feel like an impossible task, but don't worry - We are here for you! In this new Obsessed minisode, you will get our mantra that will help you spiral upwards.

Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), stated that:
“The heart of compassion is really acceptance. The better we are at accepting ourselves and others, the more compassionate we become.”
In today's times, women of all ages and backgrounds are speaking up and taking the lead. This newfound power leads to great strides in both our personal and professional lives, but it doesn't come easy. For many women, self-acceptance is an ongoing journey that requires resilience in the face of countless setbacks.
Women often feel like they're not good enough, whether it's their appearance, intelligence, or ability to do things "right." This can lead to a lot of self-judgment and anxiety. For our guest, Jen Aks-Neuman, it is time for women to break the mold and achieve radical acceptance of themselves.
Jen is a documentarian and embodiment coach who founded herStories in response to the pandemic as a way to help Womxn tell their stories of resilience. Her mission is to shift the mindset of humanity, one story at a time. She has combined her 30+ years of movement practices, photography, editing, speaking, and directing to curate The herStories Collection, producing close to 100 documentaries since the pandemic began.
These are meant to educate, inspire, empower and open our hearts and minds to what is possible, helping Womxn unlock emotions that have provided breakthroughs and new perspectives about who they are and what is possible in their lives. This movement has crossed three oceans and four seas, landed in five countries, and has impacted countless Womxn worldwide to help them find radical acceptance for themselves and humanity.

When we are young, we have dreams of what our lives will be like. We want to take on the world and do everything we can to succeed. Often, we don't get a chance to do everything we want because something comes up and derails us - such as cancer.
Cancer creates a unique set of challenges for the person going through it and their loved ones. For many, it can be a time when long-held priorities and values are reassessed and when previously unspoken dreams and desires come to light.
Many people say they are grateful for the extra time they have been given and now live their lives more fully. They appreciate moments more and try not to sweat the small stuff. This is likely because you acquire a newfound sense of purpose and clarity about your life going forward when your life is hanging in the balance.
In this episode, Sedruola Maruska joins us again to share her story after being diagnosed with breast cancer and think about what she wanted from life. She survived and found a new way to live, one that is full of happiness and hope. Her journey provides some great insights for anyone looking to refresh their mindset.
Sedruola (or Sadie) is a passionate speaker and consultant on accountability, equity, inclusion, and social justice, focusing on cultivating diverse cultures and spaces. Her podcast, Diversity Dish, delves into conversations with marginalized people from all walks of life who share stories of experiencing, overcoming, and finding solutions for discrimination, prejudice, and racism within industries.

What is shame?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defined shame as:
The intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love, belonging, and connection. It thrives on secrecy, silence, and judgment, [growing] exponentially into every corner and crevice of our lives.
Shame is an often overlooked and misunderstood emotion. Many people do not realize that shame is actually one of the most damaging emotions and can lead to many other problems such as depression, addiction, and eating disorders.
In addition, it is an emotion that most people try to avoid. Unfortunately, this often leads to a cycle of shame in which people feel guilty or embarrassed about their actions and then feel ashamed of themselves for feeling those emotions. But, as our guest Elvira Hopper shares with us today, there are ways to break the cycle of shame and start working towards recovery.
Elvira talks about living out of alignment with shame for decades in this episode. With her hopes and dreams of being a jazz singer curtailed by her parents' expectations for her, she pursued an inauthentic 6 figure, award-winning medical and Big Pharma career for three decades. While lucrative, this led to several problems, affecting her marriage and life, before she was miraculously gifted with a fast and natural way out of her darkness.
Elvira fused her love for performing musically with her healing abilities. She became a coach, sacred sound healer, and professional jazz artist she always was at the ripe sweet age of 51, working and recording on world-class jazz stages with Juno award-winning artists. Her mission is to help co-create heaven on earth by helping heart-centered humans live aligned, authentic & fully self-expressed through her The Love Your Vibe Transformation.
What You Will Learn From This Episode

07:38 - Elvira's experiences with shame
10:11 - Feeling like an imposter and being out of alignment
15:03 - Breaking free from shame
18:04 - Tools for personal development and growth

24:31 - Going from shame to upping our game

This is the one hack that can change the way you navigate life. In this minisode of Obsessed listen to Jules explain how you can deal with life's biggest challenges. If you are navigating parenting or a difficult relationship or career upset-listen to today's episode of the #obsessedpodcast.
We have no control in life. Period. As humans, we think we have control. We want to have control over our relationships, our careers and our kids. And when we are met with drama or trauma, we have the choice to react. This is the one thing we have control over. We have the power to navigate our reactions.
Breaking down this relatively simple concept into small, bite-size pieces will make it easier to digest the overall profundity of the 3 words. Understanding that you have the innate choice of how you respond to and process a situation can shift a bad day at the office to a productive day learning how to nuance challenging conversations with colleagues. (LIFE SKILL--SCORE) With a snap of the fingers- you can go from having a bad day at work to a day of personal growth.
EXAMPLE 1: UNDERSTANDING WHAT A NEUTRAL EVENT IS AND HOW TO REFRAME THIS EVENT* A neutral event is just that. Neutral. One without meaning. We as humans attach our own meaning to these neutral events. What if we have the power to actually change the meaning of an event? The Obsessed Hosts LOVE the works of Victor Frankl. His book "Man's Search For Meaning" is a must-read.
The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance.”
― Viktor E. Frankl

Get Obsessed with your life. #obsessedpodcast
After over a year together, the Obsessed team, Julie Lokun, Tia Walden, and Mika Altidor share their insights from lessons learned from expert guests in personal development. Listen to this intimate conversation on how this little podcast has changed so many lives--including ours.
This roller coaster of life, at points, seems unfair. Especially when we are thrust into a traumatic situation.
We have the privilege of talking with amazing experts every day. This privilege is not taken lightly. In fact, we believe it is our duty to be the ambassador for their platforms as they give of their selves tirelessly to mend broken spirits. Our conversations weave in and out of grief, trauma, resilience, toxic families, reactive situations and so much more. We have been educated by the best and today, I share the wisdom imparted to me by these prolific professionals.
QUESTION:Are you stressed out? Are you reeling from a trauma? Are you in the middle of a life-altering adjustment? If so, this episode is for you. If not, read on because the tools that you learn when life is smooth will be the weapons you have to fight when life gets really rocky.
Lessons From The Masters:One of our lessons learned was about grief. Grief is a lesson these obsessed girls have met in the past year and we believe Heidi Dunstan was put into our lives for a reason. Heidi Dunstan: Grief Advocate and Leader in Loss.
Heidi has taught us a new narrative when talking to someone who is experiencing loss. Loss can look like death, a job loss, a breakup, or even something transitional like a move. Heidi lost her husband, unexpectedly the day before her 40th birthday and is now a warrior in grief awareness. Heidi taught me what matters most is that you are there for your person. Loss is triggering for us, and often we are immobilized and unable to find the right words to comfort those closest to us.
Just being there is often enough.

What is anger?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defined anger as:
An emotion that we feel when something gets in the way of a desired outcome or when we believe there’s a violation of the way things should be.
Anger is a powerful emotion. It can make us feel strong and in control, or it can make us feel out of control and destructive. But whatever kind of anger we feel, one thing is always true: We believe that someone or something else is to blame for the situation and that something can be done about it.
Anger often masks other feelings such as sadness, hurt, or fear. When we're in this mode, it's tough to think straight or have a productive conversation with the person we're angry at. If you're looking for ways to manage your anger better, our close friend Julie Riga is back to share her story and insights!
In this episode, Julie gets to the bottom of what anger really means. Plagued by anger for many years, Julie has a lot to say about how she has learned how to manage anger as a powerful catalyst and/or a life-sucking companion.
Julie Riga, daughter of renowned chef to the stars, Ennio Riga, has over 20 years of experience in the Pharma Industry, which has given her a wealth of knowledge in business, communications, training, and executive coaching.
Aside from being a certified coach, trainer, speaker, and author, she is also the host of the Stay on Course podcast, where she explores different topics in leadership, personal development, connection, and faith.
What You Will Learn From This Episode
03:15 - Being afflicted by anger for a long time
07:31 - Letting the anger dissipate
10:27 - Miserable days of being angry
12:34 - Personal mission statement as your north star

In our society, we learn from others that our emotions are bad, and we need to tough it out, power through, and be all smiles and sunshine.
We learn to bottle up our emotions, eventually turning into shame or guilt. We don't know how to deal with them, so we shove them away and ignore them until they come back louder than ever before.
When we're feeling our emotions, we might feel like we need to get rid of them as quickly as possible or that they make us a problem that needs fixing. But this must not be the case! What if we could actually allow ourselves to feel any emotion, positive and negative, that comes up for us?
Our guest, Sarah Plowman, tells us that emotions exist for a reason: to tell us something important about ourselves and our lives. When we become blocked from our feelings, we might act out in ways harmful to ourselves or others. To understand what they're trying to tell us, Sarah shares with us how to be in touch with our emotions without the need to suppress them.
Sarah is a stay-at-home-mom and a 6-figure business coach who helps people become incredible entrepreneurs, elevating all areas of their lives through being more self-confident, self-assured, and authentic human beings.
What You Will Learn From This Episode:
01:23 - Feeling our emotions as a superpower
07:50 - Experiencing our emotions without trying to fix it
17:19 - Emotion as information
18:50 - Not being in a hurry with our emotions
24:18 - The contrast between self-confidence and confidence
27:11 - Cultivating and building our emotional awareness
29:07 - Redefining emotional health

In this episode of Obsessed, we talk all things, hormones, aging, pregnancy, and everything in between. We are continually inspired by the works of our favorite researcher and badass Brene Brown.
Author and researcher Brene Brown writes, “We associate vulnerability with emotions that we want to avoid such as fear, shame, and uncertainty, yet we often lose sight of the fact that vulnerability is also the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity, and love.”
At 55, Neeahtima Dowdy realized it’s still possible to reinvent herself into the woman of her dreams. And she shares how we can still be confident, fabulous, and powerful regardless of our age in this episode.
Midlife is often viewed as a time when women hit a crossroads. They may start to feel invisible; they are losing their marketable quality, relationships, and professional aspirations.
But more and more women like Neeahtima are choosing to buck the midlife stereotypes and embrace this stage of life. Whether by starting their own businesses, traveling the world, or simply enjoying newfound hobbies and passions, more and more women are redefining what it means to be in this stage of life.
There’s no one right way to approach aging, but women are doing it their way and rocking it. From making lifestyle changes to improving self-confidence, Neeahtima proves that there is no age limit on happiness or success – and she continues to inspire others to do the same. She talks about how she’s thriving in midlife and gives valuable pieces of advice for those who may be feeling stuck.
Neeahtima is the creator and host of We’re Not Dead Yet: Women Rocking their Next Chapter, a YouTube series where she inspires women over 40, 50, 60, and beyond to step out of their comfort zone and reinvent themselves, discover new talents, or find their passion.
What You Will Learn From This Episode
02:02 - Period, hormones, and pregnancy
04:12 - Not letting age become a hindrance in achieving your goals

What is belonging?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines belonging as:
A practice that requires us to be vulnerable, get uncomfortable, and learn how to be present with people without sacrificing who we are. We have to belong to ourselves as much as we need to belong to others. Any belonging that asks us to betray ourselves is not true belonging.
We all want to feel like we belong, that we are a part of something. It's a basic human need that drives our social behaviors. We see this in how we form groups, whether at school, at work, or in our communities. A sense of belonging is important because it can help people feel supported and connected to their community. It can also lead to positive emotional states like happiness, satisfaction, and pride.
And when people feel like they don't belong, they often experience loneliness, isolation, and even depression. In order to create a sense of belonging, there is a need to focus on creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome and feels comfortable sharing their ideas.
In this episode, our guest Sedruola Maruska shares her story of how she's always putting herself in uncomfortable places to grow as a human being and make connections with people of all cultures. Growing up in different environments shaped her desire to make people feel comfortable and feel like other people want to hear and understand what they're saying.
Sedruola (or Sadie) is a passionate speaker and consultant on accountability, equity, inclusion, and social justice, focusing on cultivating diverse cultures and spaces. Her podcast, Diversity Dish, delves into conversations with marginalized people from all walks of life who share stories of experiencing, overcoming, and finding solutions for discrimination, prejudice, and racism within industries.

What is stress?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), says that:
We feel stressed when we evaluate environmental demand as beyond our ability to cope successfully. This includes elements of unpredictability, uncontrollability, and feeling overloaded.
Stress seems to be an inevitable part of our lives. Some people feel they can cope with the demands of life relatively quickly, while others feel they are constantly under stress and struggle to keep up. When we feel like we can't handle what's going on around us, the result is often anxiety, worry, and a feeling of uncertainty which can profoundly impact our health.
Fortunately, there are several things we can do to address the problem of stress in our lives and reclaim our happiness. Luckily, Dr. Deborah Gilboa is back to share how we can transform stress into a more positive thing to our own advantage.
Yes, you've heard that right! Stress can be a positive thing for us if we manage it properly. For Dr. Deborah, stress management is essential for everyone because it actually helps build our resilience. She discusses her findings and how we can say goodbye to those negative feelings associated with stress to become stronger and prepared for new challenges, as written in her new book 'From Stressed to Resilient.'
A renowned doctor, TedExer, and expert to the stars on resilience and parenting, Dr. Deborah Gilboa, M.D. (aka “Dr. G”) works with families, educators, executives, and businesses in identifying the mindset and strategies to turn stress into resilience. She is a sought-after media personality as seen regularly on TODAY, Good Morning America, and various digital, media, and print outlets.

The collective global community has become comfortable with disconnection. How do we get over Covid's hangover and our disconnection?
Brene Brown Defines Connection As:
“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”We are obsessed with Brene Brown and her research on the 30 core emotions--as we are obsessed with her new book Atlas of The Heart.
Get Obsessed with us. Collectively we are a nutritionist, a master certified life coach, an attorney, and a self-esteem expert. We dive into topics that uncover the essence of the human experience. Our stories are one of kicking fear in the face and taking a leap of faith.

There is nothing worse than a know-it-all, (you know the kind of person that thinks they are correct all of the time).In today's episode, we ask the question: How can I lead my best life by using the power of curiosity? Curiosity is the lynchpin in building creating great leaders, avoiding conflict, and changing the neuroplasticity of our brains. We are joined by the Obsessed bestie, Corinna Bellizzi, who explains how curiosity can solve most of the world's problems.
The #obsessedpodcast is OBSESSED with Brene Brown and her latest book "Atlas of The Heart". Brene defines curiosity as:
Curiosity is the feeling of deprivation we experience when we identify and focus on a gap in our knowledge. •
We need to have some level of awareness and interest in a topic before we become truly curious. •
When we are curious, the brain is primed to learn and retain information.
• Curiosity can be uncomfortable because it requires uncertainty and vulnerability.
• Curiosity is about listening and asking the right questions.
• “Tell me more” is a great curiosity rumble tool.
• In the context of solving problems, failure to be curious results in poor solutions. Curiosity means focusing on the nature of the problem before even considering a solution.
• Curiosity and knowledge-building grow together—the more we know, the more we want to know.
Learn more about the Obsessed Bestie Corinna Bellizzi and all the good she is doing in the world:
Corinna Bellizzi, MBA is a natural products industry executive who pioneered the growth of the omega-3 giant, Nordic Naturals, from less than $1 million in annual revenues to over $100 million. As a mom of two young boys, podcaster, and executive, her mission is to leave the world a little better than she found it while inspiring others to do the same. Corinna began her broadcasting journey as a guest on many nationally syndicated radio shows and even acted as an MC for fashion shows in her spare time to improve her public speaking skills. As part of her lifelong education journey, she earned her MBA from Santa Clara University in 2021, graduating at the top of her class with a triple focus in Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Marketing. Corinna launched her first podcast show, Care More Be Better, to share the stories of inspired individuals and conscious companies to show us all that one person with one idea can have a big impact. It now ranks in the top 2.5% of all podcasts globally.*

Help! I am stressed! Stress happens and it happens to the best of us. How can I live my best life when I am stressed about my life? Relationship stress, work stress, parenting stress-- there is no way to avoid the overwhelm and craziness of life. In this episode, you will get quick and easy tips to reset and destress and put your best forward. Coach Julie Lokun will guide you, inspire you and give you the tools you need to live well.
What is stress?
According to The National Stress Institute, stress is:
Stress is not a useful term for scientists because it is such a highly subjective phenomenon that it defies the definition. And if you can’t define stress, how can you possibly measure it? The term “stress”, as it is currently used was coined by Hans Selye in 1936, who defined it as “the non-specific response of the body to any demand for change”.
1) Take care of your physical health - create good eating habits and make sure you get plenty of rest and exercise. If you don't feel well, move slower through the healing process.
2) Create space to express yourself – find someone who will listen without judgment so you can vent, cry, scream or laugh.
3) Journal- even if you write a few words a day, let your emotions flow to paper.
You got this, one small step at a time.

Today we have big news at the #obsessedpodcast! We are celebrating Brene Brown's research on emotions and talking joy! Listen in to hear our latest joyful news!
We are obsessed with Brene Brown's latest book, Atlas of The Heart. This is what is inspiring us to take a deeper dive into these emotions.
Joy is a positive attitude that comes from feeling connected to yourself. Here’s the thing: you need to be vulnerable in order to experience joy. Dr. Brené Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston, has talked extensively about joy, vulnerability, and gratitude.
How can you feel utter joy while going through pain? Is it possible? Can joy be the antidote to life's biggest challenges? How do you feel joy when you are grieving or experiencing trauma? Can joy and pain co-exist?
What is the difference between being happy and feeling joy? Do you struggle to see the joy in the everyday? This is an issue many people face and do not know what to do. Today Jules and Tia give an intimate glimpse. that at times seem painful and then, sometimes have immeasurable joy. This conversation will have you rethinking your journey on earth. Share this with your friends who need a real story of hope.
We explore this topic with raw and heartfelt vulnerability.

What is vulnerability?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines and describes vulnerability as:
The emotion that we experience during times of uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.
In our culture, we tend to equate vulnerability with weakness. We see it as a character flaw, something to be ashamed of and hidden away. But, vulnerability is, in fact, a sign of courage. It takes great courage to reveal our authentic selves to others, open ourselves up and be vulnerable. We tap into a wellspring of love and connection that allows us to form meaningful relationships when we do so.
In this episode, Rev. Leslie Peters is here to share how she was able to see her authentic self through vulnerability. The abuse and neglect she experienced throughout her life left her feeling disconnected. This led her to a lifelong practice to give others what she needed.
Uncovering the true meaning of love through her practice, Rev. Leslie felt the need to release her ‘armor,’ allowing herself to step into her courage, live with an open heart, and find power in vulnerability. For Rev. Leslie, being vulnerable is also the ability to stand and own your truth regardless of the consequences.
Rev. Leslie, the Heart Nurturer, has been helping people for 32 years. She is a registered nurse, an ordained minister, a trauma and resilience expert, and a transformational conversationalist. She is on a mission to create a safe space for trauma survivors to unapologetically see, accept, and reconnect with their true selves.

What is fear?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines fear as:
A negative, short-lasting, high-alert emotion in response to a perceived threat, and, like anxiety, it can be measured as a state or trait.
Our fear response evolves over time to help us protect ourselves from dangerous situations. It can be disruptive and destructive, leading to anxiety, stress, and even panic attacks. But when used effectively, fear can push us to achieve great things, heightening our senses and preparing us to take quick and appropriate action to defend ourselves or others.
Jenn Leconte joins us on this episode to share how she has taken fear to a whole different level and used it for good. Instead of paralyzing her, fear enabled her to recover and reach exponential success.
She tells her story about coming to America from Jamaica at the age of 16 for college and learning how to cook to make ends meet. Left with almost nothing after a failed first marriage, Jenn chose to persevere and overcome the obstacles in starting a restaurant without any prior experience. This dedication and effort, moving herself away from her initial fears to a new comfort level, led her to become an award-winning chef based in Eatonville, Florida.
Jenn is the Founder and CEO of DaJen Eats, specializing in vegan recipes with a Jamaican flair. Her passion is to help people learn new techniques and discover exciting flavors on their food journey.

What is shame?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines shame as:
Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love, belonging, and connection. It thrives on secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put shame into a petri dish and douse it with these three things, it will grow exponentially into every corner and crevice of our lives.
In this episode, Lori Weber joins us to share her struggle and her journey in overcoming an eating disorder. Having spent the majority of her adult life in a disordered relationship with food, Lori describes her experience before as less about the food and more about the power food had over her and the way she obsessively behaved around it.
In addition, she pointed out that keeping this secret behavior away from others for decades made it all worse since it contributed to the growing vicious cycle of self-fulfilling judgments.
She successfully released herself from the spiral of shame when she realized that the behavior was separate from what she really is.
Lori is now on a mission to help others avoid the eating chaos she experienced. Her Mindful Eating Clinic, based in the UK, provides coaching and online courses to clients worldwide. She can treat binge-eating, bulimia, yo-yo-dieting, and obesity and is known for her blend of empathy and pragmatism, helping clients find a happy life with food.

Michael Losier joins us to talk about the Emotion Code as a powerful tool in unblocking any trapped negative emotions and physical pain so that you can have an empowered personal and professional life.
Originating from the works of Dr. Bradley Nelson, the Emotion Code is the world's fastest and most effective method of energy psychology. Michael has found success with the Emotion Code when erasing his client's negative baggage, which causes health, emotional, relationship, and creativity problems.
Michael also delves into how he discovered the power of the Emotion Code through his experiences and how he functions as the person's 'proxy' during Emotion Code sessions to find and delete the negative emotions on behalf of them.
At the end of the episode, Michael demonstrates in real-time what an Emotion Code reading session is and its effectiveness. Moreover, he stresses that the goal in life is to feel good, which can be achieved through having a solid and positive vibration. In turn, this requires eradicating old negative vibrations to become more positive.
Michael is a Certified Emotion Code Practitioner, incorporating this in his Mentor With Michael 8-week program. In addition, he is also a Certified Law of Attraction Facilitator and a sought-after Keynote Speaker and Trainer at Conferences and Conventions specializing in Law of Attraction, Law of Connection, and Fulfillment Needs.

What is love?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines love as:
We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness, and affection.
Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can be cultivated between two people only when it exists within each one of them—we can love others only as much as we love ourselves.
In this episode, Dr. Jackie Black shares how couples can cultivate love and sustain it not only in this month of love but in each and every day of their lives. Dr. Jackie aims for couples to live every day like they are on their honeymoon, embracing and solidifying couplehood as a result.
She also focuses on the importance of connection – knowing how to connect and stay connected, which she believes most couples don’t know is the key to a long-lasting relationship. She gives tips on how to master this art of connection, mainly through being openhearted and vulnerable.
Dr. Jackie is a relationship educator and a board-certified couples coach who has helped over 1,000 couples in eight countries learn, grow, thrive, and have fun together for them to experience deeper, more meaningful connections and intimacy and rekindle and strengthen their relationships.

Feeling overwhelmed?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines being overwhelmed as:
An extreme level of stress, an emotional and/or cognitive intensity to the point of feeling unable to function.
If being stressed is being in the weeds, feeling overwhelmed is being blown.
Stress and overwhelm are extremely common nowadays. It's tough to know what to do when you feel like you have too much on your plate. If you feel overwhelmed, this episode with Irina Shehovsov will help you take control of mental, emotional, physical, spiritual states to live your best life.
Irina shares her story of living a life of being overwhelmed as a single mother of two. Being a single mother and enduring all the painful things before that, such as her divorce, took a toll on Irina's life. As she recounts, she managed to lose her identity, which prompted her to look for the pathway to rediscover herself.
She gives tips on how she was able to rebuild and manage herself to show up for her kids and herself. Doing this enabled her to transform the most overwhelming point of her life into her purpose - helping those who feel broken and lost in life to find their way towards a fulfilling life once again.
Irina is an NLP Master Practitioner and Coach, Time Line Therapy® Master Practitioner, motivational speaker, author, and creator of Happiness Academy who helps brokenhearted and discouraged people feel alive again so that they can lead fulfilling lives and impact the lives of others as well.

What is empathy?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines empathy as:
A skill set that is one of the most powerful tools of compassion.
Empathy and compassion are related but distinct concepts since both involve understanding another person's situation. The concept of empathy is rooted in identifying, relating, and being present to another person's feelings. It does not necessarily mean you feel the same thing that the other person is feeling.
In this episode, Kevin Henry joins us in exploring and understanding all facets of empathy. For Kevin, people fear the feeling of empathy since it makes us more vulnerable and makes us remember specific occurrences in the past.
He also gives tips regarding opening ourselves to other perspectives, allowing us to feel empathy fully. Kevin pointed out that disallowing ourselves in doing this opens the door to more fear, anxiety, and nonacceptance towards other people.
Kevin is changing the narrative of how people navigate their lives with his 30 years of experience in Program Management, Diversity-Equity-Inclusion education, journalism, training, writing, acting fields, public speaking, and as the host of All The Way Authentic podcast.

What is loneliness?
Brené Brown, the author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines loneliness as:
The absence of meaningful social interaction—an intimate relationship, friendships, family gatherings, or even community or work group connections.
Today the world appears to be becoming more and more disconnected, with the cracks between people, races, genders, ethnicities, political beliefs, religions, and philosophies widening at an alarming rate. But, when we look deeper, this disconnection and the political and economic machines that are moving people apart are ironically spawning movements bringing people closer together than ever.
People are united in their humanity, joined by their hearts, by their desire for a better world, and the sincere wish to help others who are less fortunate. It takes tremendous strength and courage to remain open-hearted and vulnerable in the world we live in today. And yet, to survive, we must lead from the heart. And we must belong to ourselves.
Loneliness is disconnection (versus being alone). We are social creatures, and in today's climate, it is easier and easier to become disconnected, which leads to loneliness. In Tia's case, she suffered immense grief after her sister's death. And she disconnected from all those around her. She was surrounded by many people - yet felt a deep loneliness.
In this episode, Tia and Julie share their insights and stories about facing the feeling of loneliness and how it leads to disconnection – and how to pick yourself up from being lonely and disconnected.
This episode is dedicated to Shelby Sandahl, a loving sister to Tia who has touched many people's lives.
What You Will Learn From This Episode:
01:23 - The difference between loneliness and being alone
02:02 - Linking loneliness to disconnection
06:40 - Getting into the darkroom
08:31 - Avoiding being hard on yourself

11:37 - Coping with the inevitability of change

What is humiliation?
Brene Brown, the author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines humiliation as:
The intensely painful feeling that we have been unjustly degraded, ridiculed, or put down, and that our identity has been demeaned or devalued.
Almost everyone has experienced the sensation of being humiliated. It's a feeling of helplessness, embarrassment, and rejection. Humiliation can quickly determine how we view ourselves in the years to come.
Dr. Cobb shares her own humiliation experiences and how they negatively impacted her life -- which extended to personal problems, eating disorders, and alcoholism.
For Dr. Cobb, humiliation doesn't necessarily have to be what other people see as it takes place in our minds and how it manifests in our bodies. But fortunately, she shares insights on how to get out of it!
Dr. Laura Cobb is a life coach who empowers high-achieving women to rid themselves of fear, guilt, and shame to proudly and confidently suit up, show up, step up, and speak up at every opportunity. She sees herself as an ordinary woman making extraordinary choices one day at a time.

We are inspired by Brene Brown- so today we are kicking off our series on the 30 core emotions on the #obsessedpodcast.
Start with the understanding that we all wear protective armor. We project trauma, we project challenges. We put this armor on, we put this armor on and use blame or anger as protection. How is this armor serving you?
Is it weighing you down? How does this armor, this emotional armor, projected to the world? Brene Brown suggests replacing this armor. Replace this armor with curiosity. Curiosity can be your superpower. It can be your superpower. You have the ability to ask questions.
You have the ability to ask questions about yourself. Ask yourself about the connections you have. How does this serve you?
Be curious, invest in yourself. Invest in being more self-aware.
If you are 35 plus, technically halfway to dead.
I know that sounds brutal, but you may be halfway to the end of your last breath. Understand your why, understand the WHY THAT MAKES YOU CRY.
We are equally obsessed with the works of Brene Brown and are inspired to study and understand the 30 core emotions. Each week we will explore another emotion, talk to experts in their field and inspire you to live the life you are meant to be living.

Susan Burrell loves supporting women in their inner growth toward finding their true empowerment. And she shares how we can truly discover our true selves in this episode.
For Susan, empowerment is about having the courage to live your life according to what you truly desire. It's about making decisions free from influences such as fears or doubt but rather being driven by a real sense of purpose and passion.
Susan also talks about how to tap into your intuitive side -- in which she states people are afraid of their inner wisdom due to its psychic nature. She relates this to her own experience as she went through a long, contentious divorce after 28 years of marriage.
Susan is an Intuitive Healer and Spiritual Guide at the crossroads of life with more than 25 years of experience counseling and supporting people in transforming from the inside out.
Susan is living a life that is wholehearted. After living through many of life's challenges she made the choice (like our girl Tina Turner) to own her life and use her intuition to make powerful changes.
What is wholehearted living? Simply put, it means living and loving with your whole heart.
According to Brené Brown, wholehearted living “is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness.” It’s understanding that yes, you are imperfect, vulnerable, and afraid, but you are also brave and worthy of love and belonging.

🦋You are worthy. It is your birthright to accept abundance in your life. Your Obsessed Girls at #obsessedpodcast are inspired daily by Brene Brown's works. This episode is inspired by Brene Brown and her new book, Atlas Of The Heart.
We often get tripped up in trying to be perfect or imposter syndrome because we are trying to project a life that deserves worthiness. Coach Julie Lokun speaks today about worthiness and what she coins, "The Brene Brown Effect".
Here is some insight:
It is time to understand that you belong right here. You belong at the crossroads of imperfection and exposure. When we try new things and nudge ourselves into the space of "uncomfortable" we have the option of recoiling from the situation or, we have the option to jump right in. When we jump in we are given the opportunity to embrace this beautiful mess.
WARNING: This beautiful mess is an inevitable by-product of being human. Beware as it has side effects. The side effects can lead to empowering lessons and deep human connections. When holding tight to perfectionism we miss the gift of the human experience.
When we are doing things over and over, we find comfort in what is familiar. However, this familiarity keeps us stuck.
Think about this: Familiarity Breeds Stagnancy.
“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope empathy, accountability, and authenticity.”
- Brene Brown
The Brene Brown Effect is not unlike the butterfly effect theory. The butterfly effect theory states that when a butterfly moves its wings, it can cause a cyclone in another part of the world. It has become, in modern times, a metaphor for the existence of seemingly insignificant moments that alter history and the shape of destiny.
Brene Brown's teachings suggest that when we are at one with ourselves we become open to living wholeheartedly. When we embrace our birthright of being worthy of all good things, we then gain the courage to demand it in our lives.
