    Everyone Comes to You for Support. But Who Supports You?

    What happens when you're always the strong one? In this episode of the Unbreakable Podcast, Kait Dinunzio and Josie Cable tackle one of the most common struggles among leaders, caregivers, high achievers, and resilient people: everyone relies on you, but who do you rely on? The conversation explores self-reflection, boundaries, burnout, people-pleasing, emotional resilience, personal growth, recovery, leadership, and the importance of building a support system that can support the person everyone else depends on. Josie shares her journey back to football after major knee surgeries, her upcoming six-year recovery milestone, and how doing the work inside Unbreakable helped transform the way she views her past and her future. Kait discusses what it means to stop shrinking yourself to make others comfortable, why authenticity matters, and how finding the right room can change the trajectory of your life. This episode also explores: - How to stop people-pleasing - Why strong people burn out - The importance of boundaries - Building self-confidence and self-worth - Learning to love who you are today - Personal growth through self-reflection - Finding mentors and support systems - Recovery, resilience, and overcoming adversity - Leadership and emotional intelligence - Why you should never dim your light for someone else's comfort If you've ever felt exhausted from carrying everyone else's problems, struggled to set boundaries, or wondered why success can still feel lonely, this conversation is for you.

    Why Rest Feels So Hard When You’re Used to Surviving

    In this powerful episode of the Unbreakable Podcast, host Kait Dinunzio sits down with her "sister from another mister," Denise Dmitruk, for a deep dive into resilience, chronic illness, and the transformative power of self-love. Denise opens up about her life’s "roller coaster," from growing up in a broken home to navigating severe health challenges, including Crohn’s disease, arthritis, and cancer, all while building a career as a nurse and competing as a bodybuilder. Together, they explore the critical difference between Freud vs. Adlerian psychology: are we defined by our past, or by what we choose to do with it? Key Topics Discussed: The Science of How We Rise: Exploring how mindset dictates your response to life’s "stormy waters".Digital Detox & Mental Health: Why "doomscrolling" and social media consumption are the mental equivalent of eating a bag of tortillas and chocolate cake before bed.The Power of "One Small Step": How to handle a full plate by deciding which "bite" to take first.Self-Love After 30: Moving from the nursing mindset of putting everyone else first to finally putting on your own "oxygen mask".Protecting Your Peace: Practical tips for disconnecting, like Kait’s 8:30 PM phone lockout, to improve your "sleep score" and overall wellness. Stick around for the "Debatable" segment where Kait and Denise settle the ultimate prairie debate: Does silverware go handle-up or face-down in the dishwasher? Resources: Grab "Unbreakable" on Amazon: Denise calls it a "page turner" you won't want to put down. - https://a.co/d/08iTmuZn Cards Mentioned: Debatable and We’re Not Really Strangers.

    Rearview Mirrors & Gratitude: How Your Darkest Days Forged You

    What if the seasons that challenged you were actually the blueprint for your greatest strength? In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Unbreakable Podcast, Kait Dinunzio and Josie Cable dive deep into what it truly means to look through the rearview mirror with gratitude. We aren’t talking about toxic positivity. We are talking about the brutal, forge-tested reality of using your darkest days to find your voice, build self-trust, and lead your life, whether you are a mom building a household, an entrepreneur navigating uncertainty, or anyone wrestling with hard times. Leadership isn't a corporate title. It’s how you handle the pressure when there is no roadmap. When life gets heavy, traditional talk therapy isn’t always enough. We debate alternative, physical outlets for emotional regulation and stress... like throwing punches in a boxing ring... and how to actually process trauma when you have a family or a business relying on you to stay strong. We also break down how society conditions us to accept bad habits through the famous "Monkey and Ladder" experiment and the history of the QWERTY keyboard. Discover why human systems repeat what is broken, why the people around you might subconsciously reject your growth, and how to stop looking outside yourself for validation. Stop waiting for the fire to end. It’s time to look back with clarity, stand in your depth, and build a legacy that lasts. ✨ JOIN THE UNBREAKABLE LEGACY: Explore the movement, grab your resilient lifestyle gear, and claim your copy of the book Unbreakable: Abandonment to Abundance and the Strength to Lead at https://www.yourunbreakablelegacy.com.

    Walking in Two Worlds: The Power of Language, Culture & Cycle Breaking

    "We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams, our job is to make them proud and make space for the next generation.” - Brooklyn What happens when you reconnect to the language that raised your ancestors? In this Unbreakable episode, Kait sits down with Brooklyn Neveu (Sturgeon Lake First Nation), educator, Indigenous Student Support Coordinator, and language champion, to unpack how language, culture, and community rebuild identity and mental health. We talk about growing up urban and disconnected, the pull back to ceremony, and why access to Indigenous language isn’t “nice to have”. It’s belonging, safety, and future-building. You’ll hear the real talk on lateral violence vs. lateral love, walking in two worlds (moccasin + high heel), and how humor keeps people alive in heavy spaces. We also dig into practical campus programming (powwow, round dance, feasts), the Blanket Exercise, and how to be an ally without being performative. 🪶 What You’ll Learn: -Why Indigenous language revival is essential to reconciliation -How reconnecting to ceremony heals generational trauma -The emotional impact of the Blanket Exercise, and what true allyship looks like -Finding balance “walking in two worlds” as a young Indigenous professional -The role of humor, movement, and community in cultural wellness -How language shapes belonging and self-worth Follow Brooklyn’s weekly language shares with Mîyo Movement.
