Episode 8. Detachment in Manifesting

In today’s episode of Words Never Spoken, Jill and Carmen discuss manifesting and the importance of detaching from the dream, to make sure we are enjoying the present moment.

Spoiler alert: You can feel your dream come true right now!

The conversation also includes a nugget about "adulting" and the false sense of urgency many people operate with today.

Questions to ask yourself: Who chooses what you do each day? Will the world end if you don't do all the things on your checklist?

Episode 7. Navigating Transitions

Today’s episode of Words Never Spoken finds us chatting about some of the transitions currently ongoing in our lives, in our relationships and our professional and personal identities.

Episode 6. Embracing New Things

After a personal pause, we’re back…. and resuming the vulnerable conversations. Just the two of us this time. 

On today’s episode of Words Never Spoken, we are holding a safe space to discuss a topic that everyone on the planet deals with: doing new things.

Let’s face it: Our brains just don’t like anything new. It can often bring up feelings of fear and overwhelm, even when we see the new thing as a positive. 

Sometimes we need someone else to help us recognize all the goodness right in front of our faces, to help us have a more empowered perspective. 

Our co-host, Jill, shares how she is facing some decisions as she considers taking on a ‘real” job (working set hours for someone else), something she hasn’t done in a couple of decades. Full-time or part-time? How do you prioritize yourself and the other people in your life? How do you make time for both work and play? 

We’re thrilled to dive into this topic and welcome you to join us!

Episode 3. Worry: Releasing Control and Loving What Is

On today’s episode of Words Never Spoken, we discuss what it means to actually choose yourself first – so you can love your life right now, exactly as it is, and free those around you to do the same. 

Have you ever thought, “What about me? When’s it going to be my turn?” as you worry constantly about your partner or your kids? But then you judge yourself for being selfish. You must be doing something wrong if you’re not happy with your life.

Our guest today, Jenny, shares a time in her life when she realized that, even though her life looked perfect on the outside, she was not happy. She had taken on the responsibility for the success of her family members so much that she didn’t know how to just love herself or them. The worry was so overwhelming she dreamt of getting in her car and driving away from it all. But she knew she couldn’t escape her own thoughts and feelings.

What if you could stop trying to fix and control everything in your life – and truly love it exactly as it is? What if you could truly love yourself exactly as you are?

Listen to Jenny’s story of hope, courage, and patience as she took her life back one moment at a time and found her way to loving her life, exactly the way it was.

Episode 2. Codependency: Reclaiming Your Worth and Power

Codependency is defined as a dysfunctional relationship pattern in which an individual excessively relies on and prioritizes the needs and approval of another person, often to the detriment of their own well-being and self-identity.

If you find yourself isolated or feeling on edge in a partnership, or if you have ever thought to yourself “it’s not that bad” and made excuses for someone else’s behavior or kept it hidden, you could be in a codependent relationship. 

Most of us have either been in one of these relationships or know someone who is. We can stay stuck in this type of relationship for years, not recognizing the unhealthy habitual patterns we’re living. We can also carry a lot of self-judgment and shame about being in relationships like this.

Today, our guest and co-host of the show, Carmen Walsh, shares vulnerably about her journey of codependency and healing. Beginning almost from birth, she had circumstances that very easily led to this habitual way of behaving that she didn’t recognize as codependency for almost 35 years. Carmen shares very real and raw moments from her life, gives tips for those who are experiencing codependency, and offers hope that there is a positive side to this challenging experience.

We address these main points for our listeners: 

If you or someone you love is in a codependent relationship, know you are not alone. Listed below are some resources to help you:

And we are here for you as well. While we are not licensed counselors or therapists, we do care and can lend loving support and suggest a next step for you to take. If you’d like to get in touch with us, please email us at [email protected].
