In this episode of The Rising Refresher Series, Janel introduces the first RISE principle—Reflection—and explains how it helps you reconnect with yourself in a world full of noise, pressure, and distraction. Reflection can look like journaling, walking in nature, meditating for a few minutes, sitting quietly with a cup of tea, or stepping away from screens to breathe and reset.

You’ll learn: • What reflection really means • Why it builds emotional awareness • How to create sacred space in your day • The role of journaling in clarity • Why mornings matter • How nature supports mental health • Simple ways to pause and reconnect This week’s challenge: give yourself permission to pause. 👉 If this episode helped you, please rate, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs a reset.

The Roots of Inner Healing with Mariah from Netflix’s The Ultimatum

In this episode of Similarly Different, I sit down with Mariah — creator, mental health advocate, and familiar face from Netflix’s The Ultimatum — for a raw conversation about mother wounds, abandonment, and rebuilding your sense of self. Mariah opens up about growing up in and out of homeless shelters, being separated from her mom at eight years old, and how that shaped her identity, relationships, and sense of safety. We talk about codependency, chasing love through romantic partners, and what it really looks like to start healing patterns that began in childhood. We also dive into her journey from social media marketing and reality TV to becoming a voice for mental health online, navigating therapy when it isn’t always accessible, and dreaming up a future “healing house” for women and families who need what she never had. ✨ From abandonment and survival mode to honesty, healing, and vision — this is Mariah’s story. 💬 We discuss: • Growing up without her mom & navigating the “mother wound” • How abandonment, depression & anxiety showed up in her teens and 20s • Homeless shelters, generational trauma & seeing the “humanness” in our parents • Why talk therapy wasn’t enough — and her interest in somatic & EMDR work • Journaling, video diaries, nature & nervous system tools that actually helped • Dating after trauma, finding her voice, and no longer shrinking herself • Her dream to create a beautiful, non-sterile “healing house” for women & youth • Giving ourselves permission to reinvent as many times as we need to 🔔 Support the show: ✔️ Subscribe for more honest, unfiltered conversations ✔️ Comment your biggest takeaway — we read them all ✔️ Leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating — it truly helps more people find us ✔️ Share this with someone who’s healing their inner child or mother wound 📲 Connect with Us: Instagram: @similarlydifferentpod TikTok: @similarlydifferent Submit a question: https://www.youandmemedia.co/similarlydifferent 🤳 Connect with Mariah: Instagram: @remnantsofriah Project: Healing Is Hard #SimilarlyDifferentPodcast #TheUltimatum #MariahUltimatum #MotherWound #AbandonmentHealing #InnerChildHealing #MentalHealthMatters #GenerationalTrauma #FaithJourney #HealingJourney #WomenInHealing

Decluttering Won’t Work Until You Face THIS (Emotional Clutter) | TK Coleman (Part 1)

Decluttering tips are everywhere… but why do we keep returning to the same patterns? In this episode of The Rising, Janel interviews TK Coleman of The Minimalists to unpack the deeper layer: emotional clutter—the feelings and beliefs underneath the mess. This episode is for anyone who wants simplicity, peace, and freedom… but feels blocked by anxiety, old narratives, or the pressure to “get it right.” You’ll learn: • Why your relationship to “stuff” is tied to identity, fear, and memory • How to shift from shame-based change to sustainable change • What to do when you’re growing… but people around you aren’t • The power of validation + curiosity to help others move forward • Why “truth hurts” can also become “truth heals” 📲 TK Coleman (Instagram): https://www.instagram.com/officialtkcoleman/ 🌐 Website: The Minimalists (Official): https://www.theminimalists.com/ 📘 Emotional Clutter (Free Ebook): https://www.theminimalists.com/books/ 👉 If this episode helped you, please rate, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs a reset.

Scrolling Is the New Smoking: Reclaim Focus, Purpose & Presence in 2026 (TK Coleman Part 2)

In this conversation, TK Coleman breaks down why scrolling (not social media itself) is quietly reshaping our attention, creativity, and sense of purpose—and how to reclaim your life with simple, repeatable practices that reconnect you to your body, your curiosity, and what matters most. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why “scrolling is the new smoking” and how it shifts us from searching with intention to dopamine-driven scrolling • How to speak truth in a way that calls people forward, not calls them out • The difference between fighting for someone vs. fighting with them (and why it changes everything) • A clearer way to approach “purpose” that’s bigger than your job or career • How to follow curiosity like a “dating process” (small experiments → clarity over time) • Why boredom is a gift—and how it invites you to expand your awareness instead of escaping it • Practices to rebuild attention: walks, quiet time, art, music, and presence (even 15 minutes at a time) Links & Resources (TK Coleman): 🌐The Minimalists (Official): https://www.theminimalists.com/ 📖 Emotional Clutter (Free Ebook): https://www.theminimalists.com/books/ 📲 TK Coleman (Instagram): https://www.instagram.com/officialtkcoleman/ 👉 If this episode helped you, please rate, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs a reset.
