  • Is Relaxed Parenting the Healthiest Way to Go? Lighten Up with Expert Dr. Emily Edlynn
    Dec 20 2024
    No matter your age, gender, socioeconomic status, or other factors, parenting is no easy task. Yet we often expect ourselves to be the ideal, stress-free parents who know how to do it all easily and perfectly. Contrary to the images we see on social media and in the fairytale landscapes in our minds, parenting can be one of life’s most challenging journeys. And, all too often, just when we think we have things under control, a new life stage or situation crops up to remind us that nothing in life is perfect—especially the ups and downs of parenting. Is it possible that one of the greatest secrets of parenting is the art of relaxing, finding autonomy, and diminishing anxiety? Join Dr. Carla and Stanford-trained clinical psychologist, parenting expert, and author, Dr. Emily Edlynn for a heartfelt discussion focused on learning to parent with grace, joy, and imperfection. Topics explored include attachment theory, secure attachment, attunement, self-awareness, stress, anxiety, self-determination, and the power of building autonomy, competency, and relatedness. Please note that this episode contains sensitive material (e.g., a parent’s cancer diagnosis); listener discretion is advised.

  • Find Your Voice, Speak Your Truth, and Set Yourself Free with Expert Soha Al-Jurf
    Dec 13 2024
    Has your inner voice been quashed or silenced? Do you feel small or unseen due to the forces of your upbringing, relationships, or society? Do you wish you could take up space, speak your truth, and show up as your authentic self without fear or making apologies? Dr. Carla has found that many people have lost the courage–or never developed the ability–to use their authentic voice because they learned (often early on in life) that they had to be quiet, "good," or obedient in order to be loved or found worthy. But she’s here to help you discover that the opposite is true: Genuine love–for the self and with others–comes from the freedom of knowing and expressing your inner truth. By discovering and embracing the power of your own vibrant voice, you can set yourself free to live fearlessly–if imperfectly. Join Dr. Carla and autonomy expert Dr. Soha Al-Jurf for a heartfelt exploration into the power of your inimitable voice. Topics discussed include personal identity, self-exploration, authenticity, emotional experiences, individuation, autonomy, feminine and masculine archetypes, voice rehabilitation, speech-language pathologist, relationships, love, connection, personal freedom, alignment, empowerment, spirituality, soul, boundaries, self-love, and self-discovery. Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised. Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services. In the US, 24/7 help is available by calling "911" or "988" (Suicide and Crisis Hotline).Books by Dr. Carla Manly:Date Smart: Transform Your Relationships and Love FearlesslyJoy From Fear: Create the Life of Your Dreams by Making Fear Your Friend Aging Joyfully: A Woman's Guide to Optimal Health, Relationships, and Fulfillment for Her 50s and BeyondThe Joy of Imperfect Love: The Art of Creating Healthy, Securely Attached Relationships Connect with Dr. Carla Manly:Website: https://www.drcarlamanly.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drcarlamanly/Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/drcarlamanly/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drcarlamanlyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carla-marie-manly-8682362b/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.carlamariemanly8543TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr_carla_manlyBook by Soha Al-Jurf:Even My Voice Is Silence: A Palestinian-American Woman's Journey "Back Home"Connect with Soha Al-Jurf:Website: https://www.sohaaljurf.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sohaaljurf/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/soha-al-jurf-a031261a/Love the show?

  • Discover Your Power to Shine and Be Your Authentic Self with Affirmation Expert Jess Vosseteig
    Dec 6 2024
    Embrace Positive Affirmations to Boost Positivity, Self-Esteem, and Inner Strength!Affirmation is a powerful tool for resilience. We're often expected to be positive and upbeat no matter what is going on in our lives. At the very least, we generally feel compelled to put on a happy face for the world. Yet, in real life, it's not always easy–or in truth, even natural–to be positive all the time. And for those who face daily challenges such as discrimination, low self-worth, isolation, a lack of support, or mental health issues, life can feel very lonely, dark, and bleak. Although there's no simple cure for these challenging issues, a daily practice of healthy affirmations can truly help foster self-esteem, empowerment, and a sense of belonging. Join Dr. Carla and affirmation expert Jess Vosseteig, author and illustrator, for an uplifting exploration of the power of positive self-messages. Jess's work focuses on inclusivity, empowerment, and creating conversations surrounding feminism and the Queer community. Jess has worked with many top companies including Simon & Shuster, Ulta Beauty, and FB/Meta. Topics discussed include self-messages, affirmations, mental health, isolation, community, depression, anxiety, hope, mindfulness, positivity, self-love, inclusivity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, LGBTQ+, suicide, suicidality, the Queer community, societal norms, feminism, and personal empowerment. With a focus on education and empowerment, Jess brings messages of wisdom, compassion, and nonjudgment. Please note that this episode contains sensitive material including a mention of suicide and suicidality; listener discretion is advised. If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.
