    How to Question Your Assumptions Without Judging Yourself

    In this episode, Wendy and Danielle explore how hidden assumptions can shape our relationships, group experiences, and even the way we judge ourselves. Through personal stories about vulnerability, expectations, perfectionism, and obligation, they discuss the importance of clear communication, intentional choices, and recognizing that other people may experience the same situation very differently. Ultimately, the conversation is an invitation to replace judgment with curiosity, question the stories we tell ourselves, and compassionately examine our assumptions as we create lives that feel more authentic, intentional, and aligned. Highlights: Recognize when something is no longer serving its original purpose and give yourself permission to either recommit intentionally or walk away. We show up differently depending on the role we’re in.Our assumptions about other people can create unnecessary discomfort and conflict.Clear communication and shared expectations prevent misunderstandings.We can choose where we invest our time instead of living from obligation.Self-awareness works best when it is paired with curiosity rather than judgment. About Danielle Benzon: Danielle Benzon has devoted her life to exploring the expressiveness, agility, and power of the voice-body instrument. Her journey began in classical theatre and took her around the world before she founded the Inspired Speaker Academy. Now she draws on that experience to help speakers, professionals, and business owners to own and embody their message, fall wildly in love with speaking, and transform their nerves so that every word they speak vibrates with purpose, truth, and self-celebration.

    Less No, More Yes: Building Cooperation without the Battle

    In this episode of The Guiding Parent Podcast, Tammy and Shannon explore the power of turning an automatic “no” into a thoughtful “yes, when” or “yes, after.” They discuss how this simple shift can reduce power struggles while still maintaining healthy boundaries. Kids need opportunities to make choices, negotiate, develop independence, and work toward what they want—but they also need to learn that sometimes the answer really is no. In today’s episode we look at why explaining the reason behind a limit matters, how children learn to handle disappointment, and why giving kids appropriate opportunities to say “no” themselves helps build autonomy, critical thinking, resilience, and the confidence to stand up for themselves. Highlights: Parents can hold the boundary while supporting children through the difficult emotions that follow. Turning “no” into “yes, when” or “yes, after.”Understanding why you’re saying no.Explain the reason behind boundaries.Children need both autonomy and the ability to handle disappointment.Children also need to learn how to say “no.” About the Hosts: In addition to being Mom to four kids in a blended family and a “Gammy,” Tammy Ulrich, MA has always been passionate about making a difference for children and families. For more than 40 years, it has been her life's work—as founder and administrator of a Montessori preschool for 24 years, a college instructor in Child & Family Studies, and now through The Guiding Mindset. Tammy helps parents truly see and understand the unique little human before them. Through practical principles and tools, she supports parents as they nurture and guide their child while navigating their parenting journey with greater confidence and ease. Shannon Achilles is Tammy’s daughter and the original guinea pig for the Guiding Mindset. Shannon’s a working mom with an exciting job as a grant analyst and is a 20+ year military spouse. She is attempting to train for a sprint triathlon, loves reading and building LEGOs. Shannon is parenting her own son with the Guiding Mindset framework.

    How to Find Yourself Again: Step Outside Your Comfort Zone & Trust Yourself

    What happens when you stop trying to have the whole path figured out and simply take the next right step? In this episode of Evolving With Elle, Elle Jaye is joined by Kristine Goad, host of Surfing Your Edge, for a conversation about fear, possibility, identity, expectations, and expanding your comfort zone. Together, they explore how women can become so wrapped up in roles and responsibilities that they lose touch with what they actually want — and how small, courageous experiments can help us reconnect with who we are. Kristine shares why growth happens at the place where fear and possibility meet, why fear doesn’t always need to disappear before we move forward, and how questioning inherited expectations can create space for a fuller expression of ourselves. Because sometimes you don’t discover your path by planning it. You discover it by walking it. Highlights: The conversation explores learning to respect fear, understand where it comes from, and move alongside it rather than trying to force it away. Growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone.Fear doesn’t always need to disappear before you move forward.Unexamined expectations can shape how we liveYou are more than the roles you perform.You don’t need the whole path mapped out. About Kristine Goad: Kristine Goad is endlessly curious about the moment when “I could never” becomes “What if I tried?” As the Surfing Your Edge Coach, she helps people transform their relationship with fear, trust themselves more deeply, and create lives that feel bigger, bolder, and more fully their own. Her approach blends coaching, adventure, experimentation, and wonder. She is less interested in fearless living than in what becomes possible when we get curious about the things that scare us.

Drawing from lived transformation, professional leadership, entrepreneurship, and continued study, she partners with capable, heart-centered women who appear successful yet feel overwhelmed, second-guess themselves, or are tired of living by expectations they did not choose. As a Holistic Alignment Strategist, Elle uses honest reflection, elevating conversations, and her mirror, map, and method approach to support women in reclaiming their inner authority, honoring their capacity, and creating lives rooted in their values. She believes evolution is personal, but it does not have to be solitary.

    Join the Salon to take part in the 100 day experiment: https://kristine.substack.com/subscribe In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine Goad sits down with retired educator, coach, and creator Pam to explore what it means to keep growing, experimenting, and creating at every stage of life. Pam shares how her experiences with teaching, coaching, self-compassion, podcasting, and entrepreneurship have unfolded one small step at a time — often without a clear roadmap. Together, they talk about the courage to try new things, the challenge of putting your work into the world when no one seems to be responding, and why self-care is an active expression of self-compassion. Pam also reflects on curiosity, aging, finding purpose beyond retirement, and the importance of making the most of the moment you’re in. Highlights: Pam encourages people to explore what they love, what they wonder about, and what they are good at, while remembering to appreciate the moment they are in. Growth doesn’t stop with age or retirementBig changes often happen one small step at a timeSelf-care is an expression of self-compassionCuriosity and presence can help guide your next chapterCreating and sharing your work requires persistence About Pam Van Nest: Pam Van Nest, a Self-Care Coach with PVN Coaching, helps women over 40 face the inner voices of perfectionism, self-doubt and second guessing to reconnect with what matters and make meaningful choices about their next chapter.

    How to Stop Seeking Validation and Build Real Self-Worth | S2005

    In this heartfelt conversation, Danielle sits down with non-denominational minister, coach, speaker, and podcast host Wendy Yacboski to explore what it means to live, connect, and contribute from a place of authenticity. Wendy shares how her work supporting people through life’s most meaningful moments has shaped her compassionate approach to spiritual care, personal growth, and human connection. Together, Danielle and Wendy discuss the importance of looking within for validation, rediscovering dreams we may have set aside, and learning to trust the value of who we already are. They also explore the power of showing up consistently — not just for others, but for ourselves — and why safe, honest conversations and supportive communities can create meaningful change. This episode is a gentle invitation to question what you believe about yourself, reconnect with your inner truth, and move toward a more authentic life — bit by bit. The Shift Beneath the Words: Looking within for validation and self-worthLiving more authenticallyDreams can be rediscovered and reignitedShowing up for yourself as consistently as you show up for othersThe power of safe, supportive community and deeper conversations They discuss the value of creating spaces where people can be vulnerable, ask questions, connect authentically, and talk about what is really happening beneath the surface.

    Why Do We Need to Be in Control? Fear, Safety & Letting Go

    What does it really mean to be “in control” of your life? In this Wisdom Wednesday conversation, Wendy and Danielle explore how control can be tied to fear, safety, vulnerability, and the desire to manage outcomes. They unpack the difference between “I can’t” and “I won’t,” the power of owning our choices, and the freedom that comes from accepting what we cannot control. This episode is an invitation to move from rigid control toward greater self-awareness, self-compassion, autonomy, and possibility. The Shift Beneath the Words: Control is often rooted in fear and the desire for safety.We can’t control other people or external outcomes.Owning our choices gives us back our power.Staying safe can also keep us stuck.Self-compassion creates more room for change. Rather than judging our need for control, Wendy and Danielle encourage greater acceptance, self-compassion, and curiosity about what might be possible when we loosen our grip. About The Guest: Danielle Benzon has devoted her life to exploring the expressiveness, agility, and power of the voice-body instrument. Her journey began in classical theatre and took her around the world before she founded the Inspired Speaker Academy.

    The Hidden Cost of High Functioning

    In this episode of Evolving with Elle, Elle is joined by emotional wellness coach Madhuri for a practical conversation about emotional regulation and the mind-body connection. They explore how our thoughts and interpretations influence our emotions, physical responses, and actions, and how greater awareness can help us respond more intentionally. Madhuri also introduces the PAUSE Framework for identifying triggers, acknowledging emotions, interrupting unhelpful patterns, and creating space for healthier choices. For capable women carrying too much, this episode is a reminder that emotional regulation isn’t about suppressing feelings; it’s about understanding them, tending to yourself, and choosing how you want to respond. The Shift Beneath the Words: The mind-body connectionAwareness comes before emotional regulationUsing the PAUSE frameworkRecognizing what is within your controlThe hidden cost of being “high functioning” Emotional regulation starts by noticing and naming what you are feeling rather than trying to immediately control or suppress it.
