    055 - Emerging Truth: What I Can No Longer Pretend Not to Know

    Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us! You know that quiet feeling… something isn’t right… even when everything looks fine on the outside? We sit with that. Not to fix it. Not to rush past it. But to name it.  Because more often than not, you already know.  You just haven’t let yourself fully say it. We talk about the places this shows up—  relationships that look good but feel heavy,  work that checks the boxes but drains your peace,  and those moments where you keep saying yes… while something in you is saying no. And then there’s the body. The tight chest.  The clenched jaw.  The low hum of anxiety that never fully goes away. That’s not random. That’s your body holding the truth you haven’t spoken yet. We also talk about why this is so hard. Because it’s not just about knowing.  It’s about what it might cost to admit it. Belonging.  Comfort.  Familiarity. Sometimes it feels easier to stay where you are… even when you know it’s not right. But there’s a cost to that too. You start to lose trust in yourself.  You second guess.  You override what you feel. So we slow it down. We talk about creating space—just enough to hear yourself again.  And from there, making small, honest choices. Sometimes that looks like a boundary.  Sometimes it’s a simple truth spoken out loud.  Sometimes it’s just admitting… this doesn’t feel right anymore. Nothing dramatic - just honest. Because self-care isn’t always comfort.  And self-love isn’t always soft. Sometimes it’s telling yourself the truth… and being willing to listen. #selftrust  #selfawareness  #emotionalgrowth  #selfcare  #selflove  #innerwork  #boundaries  #personalgrowth  #mindsetshift  #emotionalintelligence  #healing  #authenticity Thank you so much for the likes, love, and comments you leave.

    054 - The Pause That Changes Everything

    Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us! The most life-changing part of emotional regulation is not a big breakthrough. It is the microscopic moment most people miss — the pause between what happens and how you respond. When you learn to notice that sliver of time, you stop riding the reaction roller coaster and start making real choices instead of saying something you regret, shutting down, or handing your power to someone else’s mood. In this episode we share what that pause looks like in real life, including a surprisingly intense situation that triggered overthinking and a familiar freeze response. We explore why the same situation can trigger one person but not another, and how capacity, nervous system safety, and practice change what happens in that moment. You will also hear simple body signals to watch for and one grounding question that can shift everything: What do I need right now? Thank you so much for the likes, love, and comments you leave. Not only does it mean the world to us, it helps other women who need to hear it be able to find it. #womenempoweringwomen #youmatter #makeadifference ---CONNECT with Shero Cafe--- Subscribe: www.SheroCafe.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shero.cafe.podcast/ Email: thesherocafe@gmail.com ---CONNECT with Deborah Edwards--- Let's Connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deborah.edwards.372 Self Care Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/624202641785785 Website: https://gratefulom.life/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahedwards-selfcarecoach/ ---CONNECT with Debbie Pearson--- Website: https://www.debbiepearson.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/debbiepearsoncoach/ Email: deb@debbiepearson.com

    053 - Taking Back Your Power

    Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us! Glamour can feel like safety—until it isn’t. Using the movie Blink Twice as our lens, we explore how charm, access, and curated beauty can quietly become control. We unpack grooming, normalization, and the intoxicating pull of proximity to power—and why belonging so often outranks intuition. We share personal stories of staying silent to keep harmony and of challenging authority at a cost. Like the film’s paradise, systems ask for small surrenders until your voice fades. We talk about gaslighting, self-doubt, and the fear of exile that keeps us nodding along—then pivot to rebuilding self-trust through mindful pauses, body-based yes/no checks, and boundaries practiced before they’re needed. Taking your power back isn’t aggression—it’s clarity. It might mean leaving a room, declining an invitation, or choosing spaces that can hold your truth. If you're will, we'd love to hear how have you experienced taking your power back? Thank you so much for the likes, love, and comments you leave.

    052 - Quiet Bravery

    Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us! What if the bravest thing you do today is nothing? In this episode, we explore quiet bravery—the courage to rest—in a culture that glorifies the grind. Instead of measuring worth by output, we talk about how alignment, presence, and self-trust lead to smarter choices, stronger boundaries, and deeper joy. We redefine courage from “push harder” to “pause on purpose.” Guilt, fear of rejection, and the need for validation often keep us overcommitted and exhausted. We share stories of saying yes too often and offer simple language you can use right away—how to say “not right now” without apology, how to honor commitments to yourself, and how to recognize early signs of burnout. Rest isn’t weakness—it’s strategy. Timing your commitments with your capacity, protecting recovery, and letting waiting be wise can change everything. After you listen, pause for a moment and notice what shifts. Quiet bravery is a whisper, and when you practice it, you give others permission to do the same. If this resonates, share it, subscribe, and let us know where life is inviting you to slow down next. Thank you so much for the likes, love, and comments you leave.

    050 - Showing Up For Yourself

    Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us! Your calendar is full, your people rely on you, and you keep it all moving. But if you’re honest, parts of you have gone quiet along the way. We talk about “showing up for yourself” as a real, practical skill, not a slogan, and why your reflection starts to blur when you live in constant output mode. We unpack how self-advocacy actually works in everyday moments: the pause where you realize you have options, the difference between reacting and choosing, and the quiet power of keeping your peace without abandoning your values. Deborah shares what it looks like to hold your tongue on purpose instead of from fear, how emotional intelligence helps you read consequences clearly, and why forgiveness turns self-blame into learning. We also get honest about women, motherhood, work identity, and the invisible “rules” we assign ourselves that nobody asked for, then wonder why we feel trapped. We go deep on language and mindset shifts that reduce resentment and burnout, including the limits of “I get to” when it feels untrue and how to reframe without lying to yourself. We also talk about energy, how fast it can change with a decision, and why practice matters when you want these self-care skills to show up in real time. If you’ve been carrying everyone else, this is your reminder to come home to you. Subscribe to Shiro Cafe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review with the moment that hit you hardest. What’s one place you’re ready to choose yourself this week?

    045 - From Outrage In Minnesota To Everyday Courage

    Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us! Headlines can shake you, but they don’t have to control your energy. We look at the Minnesota killings linked to ICE with honest clarity—naming the shock, dispelling misinformation, and asking why some deaths spark outrage while others are ignored. Then we explore how to reclaim agency: noticing your body’s reactions, choosing love over fear, and practicing small acts that keep connection alive. You’ll hear how to use simple tools to calm your nervous system so grief doesn’t harden into bitterness. We talk about doomscrolling’s cost, the gap between awareness and reactivity, and how your energy quietly shapes every space you enter. Real stories—kind moments in everyday life—bring it home. This isn’t about bypassing pain; it’s about metabolizing it. Love isn’t just a feeling but a trainable energy that supports clearer thinking, better choices, and resistance to fear’s divide-and-conquer pull. You’ll get prompts to check in with your body, notice the energy you’re carrying, and decide how you want to show up today. If this feels true to you, share it with someone who needs steadier breath, subscribe for grounded conversations, and leave one small act you’ll try this week that might remind someone else they’re not alone.
