In this honest and reflective conversation, Malisa and Angie unpack what burnout really looks like beneath the surface—mental fatigue, emotional depletion, and the quiet grief that often lives alongside productivity. They explore how unspoken emotional needs show up in friendships and relationships, the tension between self-reliance and connection, and why communication becomes harder when we're exhausted. Together, they discuss the role of intuition, vulnerability, and presence in building authentic relationships, while honoring the reality that healing and growth don't happen in isolation.

Notice where you are asking yourself to "power through" instead of pausing to listen. Burnout isn't just about workload—it's often a signal that an emotional need is unmet. This week, practice naming what you actually need (rest, reassurance, space, or connection) and communicate it clearly to yourself or someone you trust. Self-care isn't just what you do alone; it's also allowing yourself to be seen, supported, and human in real time

In this heartfelt episode, hosts Malisa Hepner and Angie Hawkins celebrate reaching 100 downloads of their podcast—an intimate milestone that opens the door to deeper reflections on purpose, patience, and managing expectations in the podcasting world. As the conversation unfolds, they explore the meaning of community, the evolving definitions of family, and the importance of boundaries when navigating relationships during times of grief. Malisa shares personal insights from her ongoing journey after the loss of her son, Jake, while Angie offers compassion, perspective, and grounding wisdom. Together, they address common misconceptions about grief, the many ways people cope with loss, and why there is no single "right" way to heal. This episode is a gentle reminder that small milestones matter, grief is not linear, and authentic connection is the true measure of success.

Take 10 minutes this week to honor a "small" milestone in your life—something you've minimized or overlooked. Journal on these prompts:

• What did it take emotionally, physically, or spiritually to reach this point?
  
  

• Where have I been comparing my timeline to someone else's?
  
  

• What would it feel like to let this moment be enough for now?
  
  

Then, choose one boundary that protects your energy during grief or emotional overwhelm and practice honoring it without explanation or apology.

In this reflective conversation, Angie and Malisa explore how energy moves through friendships, networks, and spiritual spaces. They unpack what it means to assess relationships through energetic exchange rather than obligation, how emotional cycles—including menstrual rhythms—shape our perceptions, and why direct communication can feel risky when harmony has been prioritized over honesty. The conversation also touches on the subtle dynamics of networking and spiritual communities, inviting listeners to notice where emotional support flows freely and where it quietly asks too much. At its core, this episode is about learning to trust what you feel, not just what looks good on the surface.

Take a gentle inventory of your relationships this week—not from judgment, but from curiosity. Notice where connection feels mutual and nourishing, and where it quietly drains you. Ask yourself: Do I feel safe to express my needs here? Do I soften or shrink to maintain harmony? Practice one small moment of honest expression—whether that's naming a boundary, honoring your emotional rhythms, or choosing rest without explanation. Self-care isn't just what you do alone; it's how bravely you show up in relationship with yourself and others.

In this deeply reflective conversation, therapist and host Angie and Malisa explore the intimate relationship between self-care and boundaries. They unpack how self-harm and self-abandonment can quietly show up when we ignore our bodies, overextend ourselves, or struggle to say no—especially in caregiving roles. Through honest reflection on parenting, relationship dynamics, and energetic patterns, they examine how our sense of self-worth shapes the boundaries we set and the energy we attract. This episode is a compassionate reminder that self-love isn't just about what we give—it's about what we protect.

This week, pause before you say yes. Place one hand on your body and ask, "What would honoring myself look like right now?" Practice noticing the difference between discomfort that invites growth and discomfort that signals self-abandonment. Let your "no" become an act of devotion, not defense. Every boundary you set is a message to your nervous system that you are safe, worthy, and allowed to choose yourself—without explanation or apology.

In this heartfelt conversation, Angie and Malisa unravel the quiet complexities of emotional health. Together, they explore the tender space where sadness and anger intertwine — the moments when emotional lows are easier to hide behind irritation than to name honestly.

Malisa and Angie reflect on how self-awareness becomes a compass during these emotional dips, helping us recognize what we're truly feeling beneath the surface. Through compassionate dialogue, they invite listeners to honor their emotions without judgment, soften their inner reactions, and allow themselves to be fully human. This episode is a gentle reminder that feeling deeply is not a flaw — it's an act of truth.

Practice emotional honesty by pausing before reacting. When you feel anger rise, place a hand on your chest and ask, "What emotion is underneath this?" Whether it's sadness, fear, or exhaustion, naming the truth creates space for healing. This simple act helps you respond with clarity, compassion, and grounding — instead of defaulting to familiar reactions.

In this powerful conversation, Malisa Hepner and Angie Hawkins explore how growing up around narcissistic traits shapes self-perception, emotional safety, and the tendency to internalize blame. They discuss the lifelong impact of being conditioned to doubt your own reality, the unraveling of ingrained beliefs, and the transformative process of cultivating discernment. Together, they illuminate what it takes to reclaim your truth, rebuild self-trust, and understand where your responsibility ends and someone else's begins.

Begin practicing discernment over default self-blame. When a triggering situation arises, pause and ask three grounding questions:

1. Is this actually my responsibility, or am I reverting to old conditioning?
   
   

2. What evidence supports my perception in this moment?
   
   

3. What would I believe if I trusted myself fully?
   
   

Then, take one aligned action—journaling, setting a boundary, or simply naming the truth out loud—to reinforce your new pattern. If this episode supported your healing, consider donating to help us continue creating conversations that empower trauma survivors and deepen collective understanding.
