    When Is Therapy Too Much? Healing, Therapy Culture, and Relationships

    Therapy has become more visible and more accepted, and that can help people find support. But as words like healing, trauma response, and trigger spread through social media, what happens when their meaning gets flattened? And can the idea that we always need more healing leave us feeling like we have to fix ourselves before we can fully live? In this conversation, Terri talks with registered psychotherapist and clinic owner Kornelia Hawrylewicz from Piece of Mind Healing about when therapy can feel overwhelming, how it can become a way to chase perfection or postpone difficult conversations, and why healing doesn’t always mean erasing pain or reaching a finished state. They explore how growth can happen in relationships and adult friendships, how community helps us carry what we’ve been through, and how time can offer new perspectives on old wounds. A thoughtful conversation about therapy, healing, relationships, and making room to be human while you grow.

    When Should Kids Take Hockey Seriously? | Junior Hockey and Player Development with Nikolas Passero

    When should a young hockey player start focusing on a career in the sport? Nikolas Passero, head coach and general manager of the Fort Erie Meteors, says the early years should be about loving the game. In this conversation, he explains what coaches look for as players develop, why body language and coachability matter, and how families can support a young athlete without taking over. Nikolas shares his path from growing up around the Meteors to playing college hockey, coaching, and helping lead the family organization after his father’s death. We also talk about junior hockey, the role of billet families, the standards that build a strong team, and the Meteors’ dramatic 2024 championship comeback.

    AI in Education: Why Kids Still Need Paper and Pencil to Learn | Lisa Collum

    Technology and AI are changing how children learn. But what happens to the skills kids need when more of the thinking and writing is done for them? Lisa Collum joins Built Over Time to talk about why she’s advocating for more paper-and-pencil learning in schools, and how her own work in education led her to this point. As a young teacher, Lisa saw that her students needed more direct writing instruction. She created a structured approach to meet that need, put her lessons into five binders, and started what would become Top Score Writing, an education business serving schools across the United States and beyond. Lisa shares the doubts and pushback she faced, what it took to grow the business while raising a family, and why she believes students need strong foundations in writing and learning before AI becomes a bigger part of their education. We also get practical about what bringing paper and pencil back could look like, how schools can balance technology with hands-on learning, and what parents and teachers can do to support writing practice. A conversation about AI in education, literacy, writing instruction, entrepreneurship, and building something meaningful from a need you see firsthand.

    Are Competitive Sports Hurting Our Kids? Youth Sports, Pressure & Burnout

    Youth sports are supposed to build confidence, resilience and a lifelong love of movement. But as house league programs decline, competitive and travel sports become more expensive, and parents worry their children will fall behind, when does support begin to feel like pressure? In this episode of Built Over Time, Terri Fry speaks with Jonathan Carone, creator of Healthy Sports Parents, about how the youth sports environment has changed, and what children actually need from the adults supporting them. Jonathan explains why more families feel pushed toward competitive sports, how parents can tell when a child is genuinely ready for a higher level of play, and why starting too early can lead to youth sports burnout. They also explore the rising cost of competitive sports, the reality of athletic scholarships, and how a child’s performance can become unintentionally tied to parental approval. The conversation covers: • House league versus competitive and travel sports • How to recognize when a child wants more or is feeling pressured • The financial and emotional cost of youth sports • Why athletic scholarships may not justify the investment • What children need from parents after a difficult game • Why the car ride home is not the time for coaching • How to respond when a child wants to quit • Protecting the parent-child relationship beyond the final game This episode is for sports parents, coaches, league organizers and anyone who wants young athletes to develop confidence, resilience and a healthy relationship with sports, regardless of the level they play. Because every child will eventually play their last game. What will remain is how the experience made them feel, and the relationship they built with the people who supported them.

    Your Body Isn’t Failing You | Gut Health, Insulin Resistance & Stress

    Gut health, insulin resistance, stress and hormonal symptoms can feel like separate problems. But what if your body is not failing you? What if it is asking you to pay attention? In this episode of Built Over Time, Terri Fry sits down with Alyssa Doherty, RMT, RHN, CFNP and CGP of Nourish Ridgeway, for a practical conversation about the relationship between digestion, the gut microbiome, metabolic health, blood sugar, sleep, stress and women’s hormones. Terri shares her own experiences with burnout, insulin resistance and continuous glucose monitoring, including the frustration of doing everything “right” and still seeing her body respond in unexpected ways. Alyssa explains why symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, heartburn, brain fog and blood sugar changes may deserve greater curiosity rather than shame or another quick fix. Together, they explore why the diet or workout that worked five or ten years ago may not support the body you have today, why eating nutritious food is not always the same as absorbing it effectively, and why personalized health guidance matters more than one-size-fits-all wellness trends. In this episode: • What gut health actually means and how it connects to digestion • Why stress, sleep and intense exercise can influence energy and blood sugar • The relationship between the gut microbiome, hormones and metabolic health • What microbiome testing, including GutCheck and GutCheck VIVO, may help reveal • Why low-carb eating, more protein or harder workouts are not automatically right for everyone • How small, sustainable health habits can compound into meaningful change over time The central message is simple: your body is not something to punish back into compliance. Better health begins when you learn to listen, adapt and make one supportive choice at a time.

    Are You Still Chasing an Old Definition of Success?

    What happens when the life you worked so hard to build actually works, but you still find yourself wanting something different? In the first episode of Built Over Time, Terri Fry explores what it means to outgrow an old definition of success and give yourself permission to want more. We make some of life's biggest decisions when we're young: our careers, relationships, family goals, financial goals and the kind of life we hope to build. Then we spend years working toward them. But what happens when you become someone your younger self couldn't have anticipated? Terri gets personal about ambition at 40, motherhood, career growth, achievement, the pressure women feel to simply "be grateful," and her own tendency to keep moving the goalpost. She also explores why changing your goals doesn't mean the goals you once had were wrong. From Vera Wang reinventing her career around 40 to the complicated idea of the "midlife crisis," this episode asks whether reinvention in midlife is really a crisis at all, or simply growth. So ask yourself: Are you still pursuing a definition of success that belongs to the person you used to be?
