For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

E205 The Secret to Avoiding Burnout: Redefining Yourself with Holly Hughes 24:26

för 4 dagar sedan24:26

24:26

Holly Hughes is a TEDx speaker, intuitive healer, and award-winning author dedicated to helping individuals reclaim their authenticity. After years working in TV production, including on Election and 7th Heaven, Holly transformed her life following her viral essay on sexual harassment—published years before #MeToo. As a coach, Holly leads the Real, Not Perfect Academy, a transformative program designed to help people heal from the past, break free from limiting cycles, and step into their true selves She also has a bestselling book, REAL, NOT PERFECT. In this episode: Holly shares how redefining yourself is totally normal—like how you outgrow your favorite toys, we outgrow old roles and versions of ourselves too. She explains how “balance” is overrated and it’s really about finding a rhythm in your life, especially when things feel out of sync. Holly talks about tuning into honesty—like really looking at what you want, what you feel, and where you’ve been settling (even if it's uncomfortable). She encourages trying “automatic writing” or asking yourself, “What brought me joy as a kid?” to start reconnecting with YOU again. She reminds us that hobbies don’t need to be monetized—just do what makes you lose track of time (she still dances and paints funky chickens!). Holly explains how perfectionism often comes from trying to control chaos—especially if you grew up with trauma—and how “busy” can be a sneaky hiding place. She shares how self-care isn’t about massages or bubble baths, it’s about doing something that lights you up—even if it’s just pigtails and blasting music in your car.

E204 Unlocking the Secrets of Living in Your Power with Dr. Sharon Melnick 22:15

för 12 dagar sedan22:15

22:15

Dr. Sharon Melnick is a Harvard Medical School trained Executive Psychologist who coaches executive women and Founders to be in their power and use their power for good. Named by Thinkers50 as one of the Top 50 Coaches in the world, she has also created buzz with her presentations at business conferences around the world including at the White House, the United Nations, and for Women at West Point. She is the best-selling author of In Your Power (2022), and Success Under Stress. In this episode: Sharon shares how past patterns from childhood can sneak into our work life and relationships — and how becoming aware of them is the first step to breaking free. She explains that stress isn’t always about too much to do — sometimes it’s emotional overload from old reactions getting triggered. Sharon talks about the power of taking your power back by focusing on what you can control — not what’s spinning out in the world. She teaches how to create a “power phrase” like Turned On Millionaire to get centered and show up as the woman your business needs. She shares the three must-haves to feel in your power: agency, sovereignty, and efficacy — so you feel strong, steady, and heard. She talks about how to move intense emotions through the body — using tapping, breathwork, sprinting, or even a community rage dance break (yes, ma’am!). Sharon reminds us that stress relief isn’t a one-and-done — it’s like emotional hygiene, and we need to do it regularly to stay healthy and whole.

E203 ADHD is Different for Women and this is Why with Sarah Callaghan 35:17

för 19 dagar sedan35:17

35:17

Sarah Callaghan is a Holistic Counsellor, ADHD educator, and founder of Unmasking Together. As a neurodivergent mother and passionate advocate, she offers counselling and webinars to help neurodivergent adults understand their brains and embrace their strengths. In this episode: Sarah explains how ADHD affects the brain, especially the prefrontal cortex, which acts like the CEO of our minds, managing tasks, emotions, and focus. Sarah shares that ADHD brains don’t produce enough dopamine, and what little they have gets "cleaned up" too soon, making it harder to stay on track—unless there are extra support systems. She talks about how ADHD shows up differently in women—less bouncing off the walls, more racing thoughts, mental overload, and feeling like they have 20 tabs open in their head at all times. Sarah explains that many women with ADHD go undiagnosed because society teaches girls to “be good,” sit still, and not make waves, so they learn to hide their struggles instead of getting help. She discusses how ADHD often hits women hardest after big life changes—marriage, kids, or major responsibilities—when the mental load skyrockets and suddenly everything feels impossible. Sarah gets real about the emotional toll: unmanaged ADHD can lead to anxiety, depression, and burnout because women are expected to juggle everything without support. She shares practical tips, like being mindful of how you “spend” your dopamine, blocking out time for tasks, and creating systems that work with your brain instead of against it.

E201 - Breaking Free from Entrepreneurial Stress and Burnout with Shulamit Ber Levtov 25:23

för 5 weeks sedan25:23

25:23

Shulamit Ber Levtov is known as The Entrepreneurs' Therapist. She is a culture change catalyst focusing on mental health in entrepreneurship - speaking, teaching and consulting nationally and internationally, and supporting individual women business owners through the emotional challenges of running a business. Shulamit's unique approach combines her 30+ years of entrepreneurship and 24+ years as a mental health professional. She is a masters-level, licensed somatic trauma therapist and a trauma survivor herself. She also has certifications in the Trauma of Money and Financial Social Work. In this episode: Shulamit shares her personal journey of burnout, realizing she needed to exit her business to prioritize her mental health, which led her to support other entrepreneurs. She explains that cash flow is the number one stressor for entrepreneurs, triggering a survival response in the nervous system, making it harder to think clearly and solve business challenges. Shulamit talks about the hidden isolation of entrepreneurship—many business owners fear being vulnerable due to stigma and worry that admitting stress will harm their reputation. She shares tips on finding emotional support, from noticing who offers kindness in your circle to forming a “biz bestie” relationship for mutual encouragement. She introduces the concept of “slow business” and encourages women to seek out communities that align with their values instead of hustle culture. Shulamit explains how financial stress is deeply tied to self-worth and safety under capitalism, and how recognizing this can help entrepreneurs shift their mindset. She offers a first step to handling financial stress: acknowledge your nervous system response, show yourself compassion, and stop blaming yourself for feeling overwhelmed. She shares that she has a free newsletter where she discusses all things mental health as entrepreneurs - sign up here: https://www.shula.ca/newsletter Contacting Shulamit: https://www.shula.ca On Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shulamitberlevtov/ Other resources: Program: https://www.thetraumaofmoney.com/ Trauma of Money Book: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/The+Trauma+of+Money%3A+Mapping+Compassionate+Pathways+to+Healing+Financial+Trauma+and+Disempowering+Shame-p-9781394300679 Money shame blog post: https://www.shula.ca/4-steps-to-heal-money-shame/ ***** Lower Your Stress in Minutes with the Relax Now Mobile App Download Relax-Now , the mobile app offering quick, expert-led relaxation practices designed to fit into your busy day.

E200 Stop Overworking and Start Thriving with Human Design with Kristi Sullivan 21:00

för 6 weeks sedan21:00

21:00

Kristi H. Sullivan is a Human Design and Self Care expert, speaker and lead author of the best-selling Amazon book Stop Overworking & Start Overflowing: 25 Ways to Transform Your Life Using Human Design. She hosts a virtual community for spiritually-minded females to create better wellness, improve relationships, shift mindsets, and manifest more success, wealth and freedom - to live their best life by design. In this episode: Kristi shares how discovering human design was a lightbulb moment, just like when she first tried yoga—it completely changed how she saw herself and her energy. She explains that human design is like "astrology on steroids," helping you understand how your energy naturally flows so you can stop forcing yourself into a life that doesn’t fit. Kristi talks about the five energy types and how knowing yours can help you work smarter, not harder—especially if you’ve been feeling drained or burned out. She reveals that for instance, Manifestors, make up only 9% of the population and are designed to start things, not grind away at repetitive tasks (which explains why certain jobs just don’t feel right!). Kristi shares how burnout happens when we try to work in ways that don’t align with our energy type—knowing your human design can help you say yes to what fuels you and no to what drains you. She explains the difference between outer self-care (bubble baths and vacations) and inner self-care (rewiring limiting beliefs and recognizing unhealthy patterns). Kristi invites listeners to grab their free human design chart and start exploring how they can align their energy for more ease, flow, and success in their life and business.

E195 Align Your Life: The Secret to Happiness with Jennifer Kenney-Smith 24:33

för 11 weeks sedan24:33

24:33

Jennifer Kenney-Smith is Certified Yoga Teacher, Ayurvedic practitioner and a Life coach. She helps women who feel unfulfilled ignite their fire, reconnect to their power & embody their greatness. In this episode: Jennifer explains that alignment is all about listening to your body’s “hell yes” or “hell no.” When we ignore what feels good, stress and misalignment show up as overwhelm, exhaustion, and even physical illness. She talks about how stress literally stays in the body—Ayurveda calls it "Ama," or undigested emotions. When we don’t process stress, it leads to inflammation, which is the root of most diseases. Jennifer shares that true alignment isn’t about pushing or doing more—it’s actually about slowing down, being still, and reconnecting with yourself instead of chasing validation outside of you. She explains that simple practices like taking a walk in nature, journaling, or just looking at yourself in the mirror with kindness can help you reconnect and start creating a happier life. Jennifer shares how sleep is a huge key to alignment. It’s not just about getting hours in, but creating a ritual—eating earlier, turning off screens, and letting your body fully rest and detox overnight. She talks about starting the day with purpose—breathwork, movement, meditation, and even just stepping outside for sunlight can shift your entire energy for the day. She encourages checking in with yourself daily. Ask: “How do I feel?” and “What do I need?”—then actually honor the answer, whether it’s water, movement, or simply a break.

MJ Murray Vachon is an LCSW and business owner with more than 48,000 hours of therapy sessions and 31 years of teaching her Mental Wellness program, Inner Challenge in schools, community groups and Notre Dame Football. In this episode: MJ shares how cell phones can increase stress and anxiety by overloading our brains with too much “feel-good” dopamine, similar to a sugar rush, leaving us feeling drained. MJ explains how overusing phones can mess with our natural ability to enjoy simpler pleasures, like a walk or time with friends, because we’re so used to the constant stimulation. She talks about a client who dramatically improved her mood and sleep just by reducing her phone time — proof that small changes make a big difference! MJ introduces the “ACCT” method for reducing phone use: Awareness, Creating phone-free zones, Curating what we look at, and Taking phones out of the bedroom. MJ recommends setting times when the phone is totally off-limits, like during family dinners or evening wind-downs. She encourages being mindful of what we consume on our phones — asking, “Is this life-giving or life-sucking?” She suggests using a traditional alarm clock so your phone doesn’t tempt you during the night; this can help avoid sleepless scrolling and improve rest. She mentioned going into the science of cell phones on a deeper level on her podcast – you can listen to it here: https://tinyurl.com/MJMVCalm Contacting MJ https://mjmurrayvachon.com/ On Social https://www.facebook.com/mj.murrayvachon https://www.instagram.com/vachonmjmurray/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/m-j-murray-vachon-lcsw-184252289/ Blogpost: https://therelaxationlounge.info/cell-phone-stress-with-mj-murray-vachon/ ***** Lower Your Stress in Minutes with the Relax Now Mobile App Download Relax-Now , the mobile app offering quick, expert-led relaxation practices designed to fit into your busy day.

During that time, she overshot and became obsessed with living a healthy lifestyle, struggling with depression and unable to handle the stress of it anymore. She was eventually able to turn it around and find balance, which is when true healing finally happened. She is now symptom-free and started coaching because she wants to support others who are going through the same thing & share her knowledge. In this episode: Xenia explains how stress played a major role in her autoimmune diseases and how she didn't initially recognize the connection. Xenia talks about feeling isolated and the stigma around asking for help, which prolonged her journey to recovery. She describes her path to becoming a health coach to help others and how it changed her perspective on career and work-life balance. She discusses the importance of recognizing stress and developing healthy ways to manage it, including keeping a stress journal and practicing mindfulness. Xenia shares that stress can be physical, emotional, or mental and emphasizes the need to create a buffer between stressors and our responses. She highlights common symptoms of autoimmune diseases, such as extreme fatigue and digestive issues, and encourages listeners to seek help if they experience these.
