Sarah Jakle, Founder and Executive Director of DemocraShe, joins us for a powerful conversation about girls in leadership, civic engagement, confidence, and the inner work it takes to trust your voice. Through DemocraShe, Sarah helps historically underserved high school girls step into leadership early and see elected office as something they can claim for themselves.

In this episode, we talk about why leadership support needs to start young, how brain science can help girls understand fear and self-doubt, and what begins to change when young women believe they belong in rooms where decisions are made. Sarah also shares why DemocraShe pays girls for their time, how that opens doors for more voices to be included, and what it looks like to build a future with more women leading in public life.

This episode is for anyone who cares about raising confident girls, supporting young leaders, women in politics, civic leadership, and creating a more representative future.

What happens when you stop living in chaos and start building a life that actually feels good to be inside? In this episode of The Lime Light, we sit down with Peter Moulton, founder of Ultradian Partners, creator of the Ultradian Method, and author of UP: A Journey of Intention, Focus and Execution, for a raw conversation about sobriety, distraction, hustle culture, and what real success looks like when it gives you your life back.

Peter shares how 35 years of sobriety shaped the way he lives, works, and shows up for the people he loves. We talk about the distraction economy, why grind culture keeps so many people burnt out and disconnected, and how working with your natural rhythm instead of pushing through can change everything. He also opens up about recovery, family, pain, focus, intention, sleep, and the small daily choices that build a life with more clarity, peace, and purpose.

If you’ve been feeling distracted, overwhelmed, emotionally fried, or stuck in a version of success that looks better on paper than it feels in real life, this episode will meet you there. This is a conversation about attention, business, addiction recovery, mental health, productivity, relationships, and building a sustainable life that feels richer than fine.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Peter Moulton’s 35 years of sobriety

• Addiction recovery and daily discipline

• The distraction economy and hustle culture

• The Ultradian Method and 90-minute work cycles

• Productivity, focus, and intentional living

• Mental health, family, and building a life you actually want

Dr. Kate Lund is a licensed clinical psychologist with more than two decades of clinical experience and specialized training through three Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals. In this episode of The Lime Light, she shares deep expertise and real warmth in a conversation about resilience, burnout, parenting, stress, emotional regulation, and staying steady when life feels like a lot.

We talk about what resilience actually looks like in real life, the early signs of burnout, how to manage stress before you hit the wall, how to support kids without making life feel like performance, and how to create a life that feels more connected, grounded, and alive. This episode is for anyone navigating stress, parenting pressure, emotional overwhelm, or the quiet exhaustion that builds when you’ve been carrying too much for too long.

What does addiction actually look like when it still seems normal? In this episode, Robin and Tyler talk about alcohol use, binge drinking, denial, sobriety, relapse, family history, and the quiet ways addiction can hide inside everyday life. They get into the difference between social drinking and a drinking problem, how addictive patterns show up across generations, why environment matters in recovery, and the stories people tell themselves when they are not ready to look at the truth. This is a raw conversation about addiction, recovery, and what it takes to make a real change.

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, help is available. Call SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357), send your ZIP code via text message to 435748 (HELP4U) to find help near you, or visit FindTreatment.gov

Food noise, hormone imbalance, binge eating, GLP-1 meds, and weight loss are all in the same conversation today, and most of the internet is making it louder. Board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Shot Bar Medspa founder Lindsey Sikora Subrinsky breaks down what’s real about hormones and perimenopause weight gain, what Ozempic (semaglutide) and tirzepatide are actually like, and how to use data (tracking food, protein, fiber, sleep) to make change stick without turning your life into a constant math problem. We also talk shame, safety, and why “willpower” is a brutal word when you still have to eat to live.

In this episode of Squeeze Limes, Robin and Tyler come back to a parenting conversation that stirred up a lot of questions and clear up what they actually meant.

This is a raw, honest talk about how to praise kids, what “I’m proud of you” really communicates, and how parents and grandparents can help children build self-esteem, confidence, and internal validation, instead of relying only on outside approval.

They get into the difference between celebrating a child and helping them reflect on their own effort, process, and feelings. From artwork to soccer games to big milestones, this conversation is about the words kids carry, and how small shifts in language can shape confidence over time.

If you’ve ever wondered:

How should I praise my child?

What builds healthy self-esteem in kids?

What is the difference between encouragement and external validation?

How can grandparents support modern parenting without feeling shut out?

this episode is for you.

Robin brings the grounded lens of decades in counseling. Tyler brings the modern parenting and child development perspective. Together, they unpack the messy middle between generations, intention, language, and what actually helps a child feel strong from the inside out.

In this episode, we talk about:

parenting praise and child development

internal validation vs. external validation

how to build confidence in children

what to say instead of default praise

reflective questions for kids

parenting and grandparenting across generations

why process matters more than performance

Listen in, and join us for a conversation about raising kids with more self-awareness, more confidence, and a little more flavor.

On Squeeze Limes Podcast, engineer and certified biofeedback specialist Deepak Chari explains Advanced Voice Biofeedback and how your voice can reveal stress patterns and emotional blocks you’ve been carrying for years. We talk nervous system regulation, why you can feel “fine” but still live in fight, flight, freeze or fawn, what a first session actually looks like, and a simple breathing practice to bring your body back to neutral when anxiety spikes.

You’re not stuck because you don’t know what to do.

You’re stuck because something in you doesn’t feel clear enough to move.

In this episode, we sit down with Tami Palmer, career and life coach and author of The Greyzone, to talk about what it really means to be in the in-between — that messy space where nothing feels fully right, but nothing feels clear either.

We get into why people stay in what feels “safe” even when it’s not working, the real reason you’re second-guessing yourself, and the simple framework Tami uses with clients: clear, get clarity, then take action.

We also talk about:

• Why most people already know what they want (they just don’t trust it)

• The fear of leaving what’s familiar, even when it’s not aligned

• The biggest mistake people make when making decisions

• Why women over-explain in negotiation and how to stop

• The power of being seen in community and not doing life alone

And at the end, Tami shares what it actually looks like to live fully as yourself — not 80%, not filtered, but all the way in.

If you’ve been sitting in the “what’s next” of your life… this one’s for you.

Tyler sits down with her mom, Robin, for a raw mother-daughter conversation about motherhood, birth, memory, anxiety, and the moments your children carry for life. Robin reflects on the day Tyler was born, raising children close in age, and the quiet shift of watching your daughter become fully herself. This episode is for anyone thinking about parenting, family legacy, and what lasts between a mother and daughter.

For this Podcasthon episode of Squeeze Limes, Tyler and Robin talk about mental health, family dynamics, emotional regulation, early intervention, and why support matters far beyond one person.
