Do you need to set up boundaries with your mom?

There are a lot of problems that can arise in relationships with parents. Depending on how well that relationship is going, there can come a time when you really need to consider how it's impacting you, your family, and others close to you.

My guest today is Abbey William a behavioral health therapist who provides families with professional assistance and writes and speaks on various parenting and mental health-related topics. She puts so much work into addressing generational trauma, exhaustion, and difficulties related to parenting identity. She is dedicated to connecting with, empowering, and supporting parents in all stages of motherhood.

In this episode, we talk about her own experience, her identity as a mother, and the loneliness that results from unhealthy relationships. Additionally, when is the best time to put a parent on "no contact" if necessary, how we set boundaries, and much more.


What we discuss:

• What led Abbey to social work and motherhood
• Abbey’s passion to help moms feel less alone.
• Loneliness pockets in motherhood.
• The estrangement project.
• Going no contact with a parent.
• Dealing with the messaging from society about motherhood.
• The healing journey is hard and painful.
• Coming home to yourself and honoring yourself.
• You do not have to feel guilty for walking away.

They developed a negative acceptance of themselves as well as a lack of a positive inner voice. This 70% number is significantly lower since I believe that more individuals battle with that mental chatter.

In this episode, we'll discuss the distinction between your inner critic and your inner voice, also known as your inner direction. Some individuals refer to this inner voice as their gut feeling or intuition, while others call it their inner critic.

We'll also look into several scenarios in which you might notice the differences and discuss the method for doing so. I will also share tips that work well for me.

What we discuss:

• Mental chatter and the inner critic.
• Separating the inner critic and inner voice.
• Loud inner critic vs. compassionate inner guidance.
• How to deal with the inner critic?
• Comparing yourself to others, social media and personalization.

Discussions about trauma are everywhere. That's because almost everyone has gone through a traumatic event at some point. Everyone deals with it and reacts to it differently. Yet what unites us is the idea that trauma results in dysfunction in how we respond to it. and the fact that the trauma response is a sign of strength, not weakness.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald, a Ph.D. trauma researcher, author, and certified life coach. She spent over a decade researching trauma, grief, and resilience. She has written several scholarly articles and three books on trauma and mental illness.

I love her research methodology and how she simplifies even the most difficult concepts. Get ready for this discussion on how the trauma response is never wrong, and how we need to frame and look at trauma differently going forward.


What we discuss:

• The trauma response is never wrong.
• What led her to work in trauma?
• The trauma response is a strength response.
• Misconceptions about the trauma response.
• How does trauma affect relationships?
• Understanding your partner’s emotional state.
• The importance of personal accountability and acceptance

In this week's episode, I'm sharing with you an interview by Victoria Brown on her Very Best Self podcast. She is New York City based Senior SoulCycle instructor, Under Armour Athlete, Certified Life Coach, and Founder of the Very Best Self Squad (VBSquad).

Her fitness and mindfulness career began in Los Angeles, spread to Washington, DC, and now takes root in New York City. Her philosophy regarding movement stems from a belief that working out is more mental than it is physical. That we can use what we are fighting for within our lives and allow it to become fuel for moving our bodies through challenges and ultimately feel better mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

She interviewed me on various topics around intimacy, sex, and relationships.

Topics including:

• It’s better to come to the table with what you know to do instead of letting other people make the first step.
• What’s the difference between sex and intimacy, and why is sex still a taboo topic?
• How do you meet your partner when you want the same thing?
• What are your thoughts and beliefs about sexual self?
• Sexual Buffet of options.
• What if your partner is never getting the job done? Should you break up?
• Gen X is not as sexually active as the previous generation, and what will happen in our society and our culture due to that.
• How do you get to the peak of sex without outside stimulation?
• What is mind-body connection?
• The importance of meditation.

Emotions themselves are neither good nor bad, but our experiences with them can be difficult or painful. When we don't know how to deal with distress, we might turn to unhelpful patterns—avoiding or fixating on negative emotions—without realizing it.

We have to develop healthy skills to build our sense of self-awareness. We need to know what we are feeling to choose a response to it.

In this episode, you'll learn how to regulate your emotions with Domiana Ndour. She is a retired professional basketball player, turned two-time bestselling author, somatic healer, coach, international speaker, certified yoga instructor, babywearing educator, wife, and mom who is equipping busy moms and kids with the tools to self-heal, regulate emotions, break the cycle, and manifest the life they love.

We're discussing:
- Overcoming the guilt of taking care of ourselves

Emotions themselves are neither good nor bad, but our experiences with them can be difficult or painful. When we don't know how to deal with distress, we might turn to unhelpful patterns—avoiding or fixating on negative emotions—without realizing it.

We have to develop healthy skills to build our sense of self-awareness. We need to know what we are feeling to choose a response to it.

In this episode, you'll learn how to regulate your emotions with Domiana Ndour. She is a retired professional basketball player, turned two-time bestselling author, somatic healer, coach, international speaker, certified yoga instructor, babywearing educator, wife, and mom who is equipping busy moms and kids with the tools to self-heal, regulate emotions, break the cycle, and manifest the life they love.

It may help them feel they are going through a decision-making process or going over all the options, but the reality is that there are ZERO benefits to overthinking. In fact, it can lead to an increase in relationship anxiety.

From juvenile detention facility for assault with a deadly weapon – she had stabbed a classmate while intoxicated. This almost ruined the opportunities she had created for herself through athletics and academics. She became a model college student for four years and graduated with four years sobriety.

After her college career she started drinking again and dealt with alcoholism throughout her sports career. Through her work with mentors, coaches, and teams, she went pro after 9 amateur fights and she took off!

She is (6-5) overall & looking to fight her way back into the rankings. Once ranked as high as #11 in the world, she knows the top is only a few wins away. She looks forward to building her fight record, moving up the ranks & earning a title shot to get to where she knows she belongs; champion of the world.

Now sober, she appreciates where her life has taken her and hopes that she can help others not make mistakes that she’s made in the past. She’d love to leave this world a better place by inspiring people with her own stories as well as helping others open up about theirs. She is doing this with her new podcast, “Sex And Violence With Rebel Girl” where she interviews high-level fighters, as well as other experts in their fields, about their personal stories of love, romance, and sexual experiences.

You’re going to be inspired by how Ashlee has dealt with her share of struggles along the way. She comes from a family of drug abusers & became an alcoholic at an early age. She shares how she struggled off and on with this until the age of 32 and how she is now creating the life and relationships she deserves.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/43838284Wed, 17 Mar 2021 10:00:17 +0000Kristie OverstreetHave you ever wondered what it's like to be Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) athlete and UFC superstar?

I don’t know about you but I’m extremely fortunate to have my family and friends still with me here today. I also have many people in my life that have passed away and any day but especially the holidays is tough.

But life keeps going and we deal with loss in different ways. It’s our resilience and motivation to keep putting one foot in front of the other that keeps us going.

I know you may be out there listening and experiencing a similar loss, especially around the holidays. That’s why I wanted to have Rachel Braunshweiger on the show. She is a mom, blogger, lifestyle influencer, podcast host, and award-winning entrepreneur. At thirty-six years old, Rachael endured the unthinkable when her husband, Jordan, was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Over the next five years, she was Jordan’s primary caregiver, traveling far and wide in search of treatments for this horrific disease. In the fall of 2019, Jordan lost his courageous battle, and Rachael was forced to start over. With the need to be resilient, especially for her two young daughters, Rachael turned the profound loss into hope and made overcoming adversity her life’s mission.

Determined to help women starting over find happiness, Rachael turned to Instagram and her successful blog, Guts & Gloss to empower others. Her most recent outlet is her new podcast “Seasoned & Blended” which Rachael co-hosts with her finance, Adam Potash. On the podcast, the newly-engaged couple discusses their blended family (6 kids in total!), divorce, loss, health, and of course embracing life’s many different chapters.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/42626624Wed, 23 Dec 2020 12:40:05 +0000Kristie OverstreetWith all the craziness, stress, and chaos of 2020, it’s easy to forget what’s most important...which is the people in our lives that we love and cherish.
