Procrastination isn’t about laziness, lack of willpower, or poor time management. It’s emotional. In this episode, we’re joined by Andrea Spyros and Nancy DeFina of BD3 Solutions, behavior design experts trained under Stanford’s Dr. BJ Fogg, to explore how procrastination forms and how we can release the emotional roadblocks that keep us stuck.

Instead of forcing productivity or pushing through resistance, we talk about how our emotional patterns shape avoidance, why pushing through doesn’t work, and how compassion, not pressure, is what actually creates momentum. We explore how tiny, science-backed habits can help you move forward gently and how small actions can create real progress without burnout. You’ll also learn how to recognize what is happening beneath the surface so you can begin moving through avoidance in a way that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.

We also discuss why women in midlife often experience procrastination differently, especially during seasons when energy, hormones, and motivation shift.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your momentum, this conversation will help you untangle what’s beneath the patterns so you can take small steps that feel meaningful again.

Because progress doesn’t have to be big. It just has to begin.

What if shame isn’t your teacher — but your jailer?

In this bold and eye-opening episode of The Happy Healthy Her Podcast, host Lorraine Kihm sits down with Emma Lyons, a transformational healer and subconscious reprogramming guide, to expose shame for what it really is — a learned tool of control that keeps women small, silent, and disconnected from their true power.

Emma explains why shame is not a moral compass or a sign of growth, but a toxic pattern passed down through generations — the voice of what she calls the “inner narcissist.” Together with co-hosts Tracey Male and Cynthia Penner, Lorraine explores how shame hijacks the nervous system, fuels perfectionism and people-pleasing, and masks itself as “self-improvement.”

You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between your authentic voice and that false inner critic — and how to finally “break up” with shame using awareness, empathy, and self-compassion.

If you’ve ever felt “not enough,” this episode will remind you: you were never the problem. Shame was. 💜 If you would like to learn more about Emma Lyons, you can find her here: ● Substack (writing on trauma & healing): https://traumamatrix.substack.com

In this eye-opening episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, Cynthia Penner, Tracey Male, and Lorraine Kihm sit down with educator and researcher Russell Van Brocklen, creator of The Writing Method, to explore how dyslexia can be transformed from a challenge into a remarkable strength.

With over a decade of experience helping students with dyslexia, Russell shares how combining neuroscience with practical writing strategies has helped hundreds of students overcome academic struggles and discover their true potential. His innovative program — funded by the New York State Senate and built on the groundbreaking research of Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz and Strategies for Struggling Writers by James Collins — has empowered students to increase their writing abilities by seven to eight grade levels in just one year.

Together, the group dives into the science behind dyslexia, the power of neuroplasticity, and how educators and families can nurture learning differences instead of fearing them. They also discuss how reframing the way we think about challenges — whether in learning, health, or midlife transitions — can unlock resilience, creativity, and confidence at any stage of life.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

How The Writing Method rewires the brain to support learning success

Why dyslexia is often a sign of creative and analytical strength

Simple ways to support students or loved ones with dyslexia

How changing perspective can turn limitations into opportunities for growth

💡 Whether you’re a parent, educator, or lifelong learner, this conversation will inspire you to see dyslexia — and yourself — through a whole new lens.

💛 Remember: In a world where you can be anything… be kind, be happy, and be healthy.

What if the story you’ve been living isn’t the truth — but a version you created to feel safe?

In this heartfelt episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, Lorraine Kihm and co-hosts Tracey Male and Cynthia Penner explore how women unknowingly carry old emotional narratives that keep them stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, over-giving, and self-abandonment. You’ll hear real stories, honest reflection, and compassionate insight into how those learned roles once helped us survive — but now may be standing in the way of our peace, confidence, and authenticity.

Together, they reveal how to recognize when you’re bending reality to stay comfortable, how to release outdated versions of yourself, and how to reconnect with your truth without guilt or fear.

If you’ve ever said, “I’ve just always been this way,” this conversation will help you understand why — and show you how to change that story for good. Walk away feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to the woman you’re becoming.

Have you ever felt like your only options with alcohol were to either keep drinking the way you are or quit completely? What if there was another way?

In this episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Michele Perron, Alcohol Addiction Coach for women over 40, to explore what it really looks like to take back control of your drinking—without the pressure of going “all or nothing.”

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to change your relationship with alcohol without giving it up entirely, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s truly possible.
