Conversations on Identity, Race, and Belonging with Shawn "KoolAid" Brown

In part one of this mini-series, Dr. Jess Hayden sits down with Shawn Brown, a longtime friend and public servant, to talk about growing up as a Black kid from the city navigating predominantly white suburban schools through Rochester’s Urban–Suburban program. Shawn reflects on high school experiences shaped by race, class, sports, and conditional belonging — what it meant to fit in, stand out, and move between worlds where the rules weren’t the same for everyone. The conversation follows those early lessons into adulthood, where Shawn now works inside the very systems that once shaped his access to opportunity. This episode centers on belonging, identity, and how early experiences in school echo into work, leadership, and how we understand ourselves years later.

The Self-Abandonment Series: Welcome Home, The Path to Self-Reclamation Part 2

In Part 2 of Welcome Home: The Path to Self-Reclamation, Dr. Jess Hayden and Dr. Randie London continue a grounded, real conversation about what it actually looks like to come home to yourself—especially after heartbreak, loss, or years of over-functioning. Together, they explore how self-abandonment shows up in everyday moments (the subtle “self-editing” we normalize), why control can masquerade as care, and how reclaiming your inner “yes” and “no” becomes the beginning of self-trust. This episode holds space for the messy middle: grief you don’t bypass, discomfort you don’t escape, and the practice—over time—of choosing yourself with compassion.

Part 2: When Weight Becomes a Measure of Worth

In this episode, I continue my conversation with Dr. Jessica Tomasula on internalized and implicit weight bias — and the quiet ways these beliefs shape how we see our bodies, our health, and our worth. We revisit the Girl Scout cookie story and the subtle moments where children learn what bodies “mean,” often long before anyone says it out loud. We talk about grief, identity, and the years many of us spend trying to “fix” ourselves instead of understanding the systems that taught us to feel broken. We also explore the complicated intersection of medicine, control, and hope — including the role of GLP-1 medications — with nuance and compassion, without blame or shame. This conversation isn’t about what bodies should look like. It’s about how to stay connected to them — and how to notice what we may be unintentionally passing down. We discuss: what internalized weight bias actually is how body commentary becomes “normal” in families and culture grief for the time spent chasing smaller bodies the difference between control as care vs control as punishment how weight bias shows up in medical spaces GLP-1 medications and why the conversation is so complex rebuilding trust with our bodies and our values If any of this feels tender, please listen at your own pace, take breaks, and come back when you’re ready. — Guest: Dr. Jessica Tomasula — psychologist, researcher, and clinician specializing in body image, eating concerns, and health psychology.

When Weight Becomes a Measure of Worth

Summary This episode explores the complex issues surrounding internalized weight bias, disordered eating, and the societal messages that shape our perceptions of body image. Dr. Jess Hayden and Dr. Jessica Tomasula discuss how these biases begin at a young age, the impact of humor on self-worth, and the limitations of traditional health metrics like BMI. They also delve into the importance of promoting body acceptance and awareness in a society that often prioritizes appearance over health. https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/ Jessica Hayden, PhD Jessica Tomasula, PhD

Part 2: Raising Kids Who Know Their Bodies and Boundaries

In Part 2, we expand the conversation with Dr Meagan Padro to include digital safety, the reality that consent begins long before dating, and why removing shame from conversations about sex is essential for raising safe, empowered kids. We explore how children learn consent through everyday interactions, how online spaces introduce boundary challenges earlier than many parents expect, and why fear-based or shame-based messaging can actually increase risk rather than reduce it. This episode offers a grounded, research-informed approach to helping kids develop body awareness, autonomy, and the confidence to speak up—both offline and online. Simply Centered Psychological Services Content note: This episode includes discussion of body safety, consent, digital behavior, and sexual development. Some topics may not be appropriate for young ears. Caregivers may want to listen privately.

Coming Soon! November 7th

We talk all the time — but most of us don’t feel heard. We dress up control veiled as love, We think we're in a state of calm, but we're really just suppressing We're told to be strong, yet it feels like disconnection. Simply Heard: The Space Between is where psychology meets the heart — where we slow down enough to listen to what’s really being said, and what’s quietly asking to be understood. Because every relationship — with ourselves, our partners, our children, our past — lives in a space between two truths. When we can hold both with compassion, we stop needing to fix, and start learning to really hear. I’m your host, Dr. Jessica Hayden — psychologist, writer, and founder of Simply Centered Psychological Services. I’m so excited to share this space with you — a place for honest conversations about love, parenting, connection, and the messy, beautiful work of being human. Simply Heard: The Space Between premieres November 7th, with new episodes every week on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you listen. Follow along on Instagram and TikTok @drjesshayden, and join me as we explore the quiet truths that live between us.
