    Approaching Conflict Resolution with Confidence with Melanie [Coaching Series Part 3] | Episode 263

    Living with roommates can be challenging, especially when people aren’t pulling their weight with housework. For those of us with a history of people-pleasing and co-dependency, it can be even more difficult to undo the behaviors we have allowed for so long and set boundaries around our peace. On episode 263 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I help Melanie, another coaching client with the tools she needs to approach conflict resolution in her home with confidence!

    Some of the things Melanie and I work through in this episode include:
    Visualizing a physical force field, shield, or boundary around yourself to protect your rationality when entering into difficult conversations. Being honest about your feelings while acknowledging your role in creating household dynamics is important. Your boundaries mean nothing if you are not willing to enforce them with consequences. Using the practice of bookending a difficult conversation to check in with someone and re-affirm that you’re doing what’s right for your well-being. If you haven’t already, go back and listen to part 1 and part 2 of my live coaching series, and let me know what you think! & if you would like to volunteer for a live coaching session in the future, send me a message and let me know. 


    Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.

    Finding Serenity Through Self-Care and Managing Expectations with Erika [Coaching Series Part 2] | Episode 262

    Finding Serenity Through Self-Care and Managing Expectations with Erika [Coaching Series Part 2] | Episode 262

    Since last week’s coaching call was so successful, I wanted to continue the podcast coaching series with another client, Erika. She joins me today hoping to find serenity through a difficult breakup while co-parenting their child and still living under the same roof.  On episode 262 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I help Erika find serenity through self-care and managing her expectations!

    Some of the things Erika and I work through in this episode include:
    Leveraging codependent tendencies by using an accountability partner to stay on track.Prioritizing self-care is crucial for emotional well-being, especially during challenging times. Using the term self-abandonment instead of self-sabotage connects your behavior to your status as an adult child and changes how you approach the solution.Overcoming unrealistic expectations often begins with unhooking your expectations after the fact.

    Navigating Difficult Situations in the Workplace with Nancy [Coaching Series Part 1] | Episode 261

    Navigating Difficult Situations in the Workplace with Nancy [Coaching Series Part 1] | Episode 261

    I am doing something different on the podcast this week by hosting a live coaching call with a client to show what working with a boundaries coach might look like. On episode 261 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I am joined by Nancy as we navigate the difficult situations she is dealing with in the workplace.


    Support the show by becoming a Patreon member! 


    Some of the things Nancy and I work through in this episode include:
    Other people can’t hurt our feelings, it is our interpretation of what people say and do that is hurtful to us. The best time to set a boundary with someone is the moment you begin to feel uncomfortable. Using the practice of bookending to approach difficult conversations. Setting boundaries with someone whom you have previously let emotionally dump on you.  Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.

    How to Go from Overwhelm to Ease: Transforming Work-Life Balance with Boundaries- Part 3 | Episode 258

    When I started this series, I only envisioned having two parts. But as I started recording, I realized that between working at Yale and now running my own business, I had so much more to share.

This week’s episode 258 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to transform work-life balance with boundaries!
    If you haven’t listened to parts 1 and 2, I recommend you go back and listen for more helpful advice.

Spilling the family tea episode 1 & 2

These episodes are 2 of my favorites! They opened me up to trusting myself to make an big amends to myself. To tell another person and my therapist what an absolute boundless person I used to be. Since that day I have changed so much. I am no longer afraid to speak my mind, stand up for myself and I give myself time to feel my feeling, rather then react and do something I would regret and feel shameful about. Thank You, again, Barb! If you haven’t listened yet, give it a go.

20 months into recovery, almost 60, i am growing up and ‘keeping the focus on myself’ to heal from dysfunctional patterns. barb’s podcast is soooooo helpful on this journey. barb articulately shares her clarity, passion and discoveries with honesty and heart. of all episodes, the one i return to again and again is bonus episode 2 - affirmations for addicts. it’s amazing. thank you for all you do, barb!

Recovery ❤️‍🩹

Hearing Barb weekly reminds me of my recovery and need to be kind to myself and that have compassion for the journey I’ve been on and where I am. The lovely light she provides weekly in easily digestible format gives me the grace to keep coming back to my recovery. I am so glad she continues to have the energy and content for the podcast. It’s so helpful without being preachy or too much. She strikes a good balance. Thanks Barb! Happy 5th!
