Resilience Redefined: How to Use Emotions as Data & Stop Feeling Stuck - Dr. Ute Liersch
Jan 2100:52:33Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we explore: Dr. Ute’s unconventional journey into psychology and what it taught her about human resilience. Deconstructing the myth of “positive vs. negative” emotions. Why anger, sadness, and fear are essential guides. What to do when you feel deeply stuck, and why “stuckness” itself is neutral data. The concept of “secondary suffering”: how we compound our pain by judging our own emotions. Making the “leap of faith” into big life changes without knowing the outcome. A grounded, practical approach for surviving (and finding meaning in) situations you can’t immediately escape. The real, engineering-based definition of resilience and why you must yield to pressure to become strong. Dr. Ute’s personal self-care practice for days when everything feels “bloody hard.” Key Quotes from Dr. Ute: “Emotions are nothing else than information on how we are evaluating life in this present moment.” “If you are refusing to yield under pressure, you’re going to break. Resilience is an active part you have to engage with.” “Sometimes the choices we have is between shit and a little less shit. And it’s still a choice.” “My self-care is acknowledging that part in me that is scared, that is sad… and saying, ‘Yeah, because it is bloody hard.’” Mentioned in this episode: Dr. Ute’s book: A Minimalist’s Guide to Becoming Resilient Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning The “Calm Authority Framework” Where to Find Dr. Ute Liersch: Dr Ute Written with our mental health in mind Your Masterclass Instagram LinkedIn 🙏 Thank you for tuning in to the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast! ✨ If you loved this episode, please: Subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode Share it with a friend who needs this message If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, leave a quick review to help this show reach more amazing women like you 💜 🔗 Connect with me here:🌐 Website: https://www.tinastinson.com📌 Patreon (support the podcast & receive exclusive practices + monthly resets): https://www.patreon.com/tinastinson🎁 Freebie: The Self Healing Toolkit - stop burnout, stress, and overwhelm in their tracks & start to regulate your nervous system: https://www.tinastinson.com/signup📺 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SASCTinaStinson🌿 Work with me more deeply: The Self Care Intensive - heal your nervous system, reset boundaries, body, mind, and soul, and step into your next phase of life with power: https://www.tinastinson.com/aligned-worthy-ps

Listening to Your Body & Sustainable Fitness with Rachel Robertson
Jan 900:40:40Tap to summarizeWhat if your biggest physical setback could become a gateway to deeper self-trust and sustainable strength? In this powerful conversation, registered kinesiologist and Pilates expert Rachel Robertson joins us to redefine what it means to have a “strong” relationship with your body. We dive into her journey from competitive world champion to navigating the vulnerable transitions of motherhood and injury. Rachel opens up about the humbling experience of “mommy thumb,” the mental resistance that comes with physical limitations, and how these moments forced her to listen to her body in a completely new way. This episode is a masterclass in intuitive movement, offering tangible wisdom for anyone—from the lifelong athlete to the complete beginner, on how to start, restart, or refine a fitness practice that is aligned, resilient, and truly supportive. Key Topics Discussed: The transformative (and humbling) lessons learned from pregnancy, postpartum, and a repetitive strain injury (“mommy thumb”). How to differentiate between intuition and resistance when your mind says “I don’t want to work out.” A simple, universal starting point for three types of people: the beginner, the returner, and the seasoned athlete. Why consistency in recovery (sleep, walking, stretching) is more important than consistency in intense exertion. The non-negotiable role of sleep and rest in building physical strength and mental resilience. How to find a coach or trainer who aligns with your needs and meets you where you are. Rachel’s favorite self-care practice that had the biggest impact on her mental clarity. About Our Guest:Rachel Robertson is a registered kinesiologist and Pilates instructor who specializes in bridging the gap between injury rehabilitation and confident movement. A former competitive figure skating coach and a gold medalist for Team Canada at the World Kettlebell Championships, she now empowers individuals to rebuild strength and trust in their bodies through her studio, Return to Form. She is also the organizer of the award-winning community event, Fitness in the Park.

Start Your Year Aligned, Not Exhausted
Dec 3100:23:02Tap to summarizeWelcome to the first Soul Aligned Self-Care episode of the year, recorded with intention and released on New Year’s Eve. This episode is for every woman who has ever felt “too much” and “not enough” at the same time. Instead of pushing you to hustle harder, we’re turning inward, to listen, remember, and realign. This isn’t about resolutions. It’s about returning to yourself. 📌 In This Episode, You’ll Discover: Why “reinvention” isn’t always the answer, and how remembering can be more powerful. The difference between surface-level self-care (bubble baths, nails) and deep-level self-care (boundaries, intuition, nervous system care), and why you need both. 5 intentional questions to ask yourself as you enter the new year, designed to help you tune into your body, recognize your truth, and move with more ease and authenticity. Why a calm nervous system is the foundation for clarity, creativity, and sustainable change. How to build self-trust through practice, not just affirmations. A simple way to choose a word or phrase for the year that acts as a filter for your decisions and energy. 🔍 The 5 Alignment Questions Covered: What already feels heavy, and what feels quietly nourishing?– Learn to listen to your body’s signals before your logic. When do I feel like myself?– Discover your “zone” and recognize purpose in moments of flow. What does my body need more of this year, and less of?– Tune into your nervous system and create daily regulation anchors. If I trusted myself, what would change?– Identify where you’re outsourcing your decisions—and take one small step back to your own wisdom. How do I want to feel living my life this year?– Choose a guiding phrase (like “grounded joy, no rush”) to filter your choices and energy. 🙏 Thank you for tuning in to the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast! ✨ If you loved this episode, please: Subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode Share it with a friend who needs this message If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, leave a quick review to help this show reach more amazing women like you 💜 🔗 Connect with me here:🌐 Website: https://www.tinastinson.com📌 Patreon (support the podcast & receive exclusive practices + monthly resets): https://www.patreon.com/tinastinson🎁 Freebie: The Self Healing Toolkit - stop burnout, stress, and overwhelm in their tracks & start to regulate your nervous system: https://www.tinastinson.com/signup📺 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SASCTinaStinson🌿 Work with me more deeply: The Self Care Intensive - heal your nervous system, reset boundaries, body, mind, and soul, and step into your next phase of life with power: https://www.tinastinson.com/aligned-worthy-ps A Personal Note of Gratitude & an Invitation Thank you so much for spending time here on the blog and for tuning into the Soul Aligned Self-Care Podcast.

The 3 Steps to Build Your Aligned New Year (From the Inside Out)
Dec 2400:16:09Tap to summarizeFeeling stuck but sensing a new chapter calling? In this final part of our year-end series, we move from reflection into creation. Host [Host Name] breaks down the three foundational pillars for building a life that feels truly aligned in the new year. We're ditching the failed resolution cycle and focusing on internal shifts that lead to external change. Discover why clarity is more about "who you're becoming" than rigid goals, learn why nervous system safety is the non-negotiable bedrock for lasting change, and unlock the power of "daily alignment" through simple, ritualistic check-ins. If you're ready to stop repeating old patterns and start building a new, authentic experience of life, this episode is your guide. Key Takeaways: Real change is an inside job. It doesn't happen because the calendar flips; it happens when you shift the internal stories about who you are and what you deserve. The 3 Pillars for an Aligned New Year: Clarity: Define the direction, not just the destination. Who is the version of you that chooses differently? How do you want to feel? Nervous System Support (Safety): Change cannot stick if your body doesn't feel safe. Prioritize grounding practices (meditation, breathwork, somatic movement) as daily maintenance, not just a fix. Daily Alignment: Implement small, consistent "anchors" or rituals that keep you connected to your truth and ensure your daily actions move you in your desired direction. Presence Over Productivity: Regular self-check-ins ("How am I feeling? What am I spending my time on?") are more powerful than any checklist. Alignment is a feeling, not just a task. Start Now, Start Small: You don't need a massive overhaul. The most profound shifts begin with tiny, sustainable baby steps integrated into your daily rhythm. Mentioned in this Episode: The December Reset: A guided journey from December 26th through New Year's Eve to help you enter the new year feeling clear, confident, and aligned. Host's Patreon Community: Access the December Reset, all past monthly resets, weekly new meditations, and self-care practices. A free 7-day trial is currently available.

Stretch, Don't Snap:"Tiny Brave Steps" to Build Momentum | Part 2
Dec 1700:16:50Tap to summarizeReady to move but terrified of blowing up your life? You’re in the right place. In Part 2 of this series, we get practical, sharing the exact method I'm using to navigate my own major life reset (hello, big move and business pivot!). This episode is for anyone feeling that restless, pre-New Year panic and is ready to stretch beyond their comfort zone without snapping from the pressure. I'll break down why monumental overhauls usually fail by mid-January and I'll introduce a sustainable, neuroscience-friendly alternative: the “Stretch, Don’t Snap” method of tiny, brave steps. Mentioned in the Episode: This is Part 2 of a 3-part series. Get ready for the gentle December Reset with daily journal prompts between Christmas and New Year’s. 🙏 Thank you for tuning in to the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast! ✨ If you loved this episode, please: Subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode Share it with a friend who needs this message If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, leave a quick review to help this show reach more amazing women like you 💜 🔗 Connect with me here:🌐 Website: https://www.tinastinson.com📌 Patreon (support the podcast & receive exclusive practices + monthly resets): https://www.patreon.com/tinastinson🎁 Freebie: The Self Healing Toolkit - stop burnout, stress, and overwhelm in their tracks & start to regulate your nervous system: https://www.tinastinson.com/signup📺 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SASCTinaStinson🌿 Work with me more deeply: The Self Care Intensive - heal your nervous system, reset boundaries, body, mind, and soul, and step into your next phase of life with power: https://www.tinastinson.com/aligned-worthy-ps

Feeling Stuck? Why It's Your Secret Signal (And What To Do Next) | Part 1
Dec 1000:20:56Tap to summarizeFeeling stuck isn't a sign you're doing it wrong. It might be the most important signal you'll receive. In this heartfelt and relatable episode, Tina dives into the uncomfortable (but universal) experience of feeling stagnant, out of sync, and deeply ready for change, especially as the year ends. She shares her own raw experience of being in a major life transition (think: new era, new identity, and a big move!) and reveals the surprising reasons we often stay stuck longer than we need to. This isn't about New Year's resolutions; it's about understanding the soul-deep whisper that says, "Something has to shift." If you're tired of looping through the same patterns, tired of pretending, and tired of prioritizing a cramped comfort over your true aliveness, this conversation is for you. Consider it a compassionate guide to reframing your "stuckness" as necessary momentum and taking your first gentle step forward. Journal Prompts Mentioned: What part of your life has felt “almost right” for too long? Where have you been settling because the alternative feels scary? If you had permission to start over, what’s the first thing you’d drop? Tiny Action Step: Do one thing differently this week. It doesn’t have to be related to any goal. Take a different route to work, try a new coffee shop, or rearrange a room. Small disruptions can create gentle momentum. Mentioned in the Episode: This is Part 1 of a 3-part series leading into a gentle year-end reset. Stay tuned for next week’s episode on taking slow, brave steps without blowing up your life. 🙏 Thank you for tuning in to the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast! ✨ If you loved this episode, please: Subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode Share it with a friend who needs this message If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, leave a quick review to help this show reach more amazing women like you 💜 🔗 Connect with me here:🌐 Website: https://www.tinastinson.com📌 Patreon (support the podcast & receive exclusive practices + monthly resets): https://www.patreon.com/tinastinson🎁 Freebie: The Self Healing Toolkit - stop burnout, stress, and overwhelm in their tracks & start to regulate your nervous system: https://www.tinastinson.com/signup📺 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SASCTinaStinson🌿 Work with me more deeply: The Self Care Intensive - heal your nervous system, reset boundaries, body, mind, and soul, and step into your next phase of life with power: https://www.tinastinson.com/aligned-worthy-ps

Rekindling Your Light: Purpose, Service & The High Achiever’s Heart with Dr. Esther Zeledón
Dec 500:50:16Tap to summarizeEver feel like you’re thriving on the outside but dimming on the inside? You’re not alone. In this profound and personal episode, I sit down with Dr. Esther Zeledón, author, coach, and guide for “high achievers with a heart.” Together, they unpack why so many of us lose sight of our purpose, how societal noise and misaligned motivations leave us feeling stuck and exhausted, and the transformative power of returning to our true, childlike selves. Esther shares her own journey from people-pleasing and chasing the “American dream” to a life of aligned service and freedom. We explore practical tools like breathwork for community healing, a revolutionary “celebration calendar,” and how to identify your core motivator to move from survival to self-actualization. If you’re the person everyone leans on but are tired of suffering in silence, this conversation is your invitation to reclaim your light. Key Takeaways: Your Light Dims Early: The shift from a clear-visioned 7-year-old to a doubtful 10-year-old shows how early external approval and societal pressure begin to cloud our innate sense of purpose. Purpose is a Daily Practice, Not a Destination: It’s less about a single, massive legacy and more about how you solve problems and bring value to others every single day. Find Your Core Motivator: Lasting energy and alignment come from understanding what truly drives you (e.g., safety, love/belonging, growth, self-actualization). Mistaking your motivator is a primary cause of feeling lost and stagnant. The “High Achiever with a Heart” Archetype: Many changemakers are “over-givers” who suffer in silence, fearing being a burden. Creating confidential, judgment-free spaces (like breathwork circles) is crucial for their release and healing. Self-Care for Sustainers: Beyond bubble baths, resilience for caregivers requires boundary scripts, daily micro-celebrations of living your values, and learning the sacred, challenging art of receiving. About Our Guest: Dr. Esther Zeledón Dr. Esther Zeledón channels the resilience of a Latina immigrant to unlock the highest potential in individuals, teams, and organizations. Her multifaceted journey spans entrepreneur, diplomat, scientist, philanthropist, and mentor. Esther’s acclaimed, award-winning book and workbook, Creating Your Limitless Life (on Your Terms), has transformed thousands of lives. Committed to empowering communities, Esther dedicates significant time to pro bono and low bono services for the BIPOC community and nonprofits worldwide.

Nov 2100:52:32Tap to summarizeWhat does it take to truly step into your power? For today’s guest, Monica Rodgers, it took her entire world falling apart. After achieving outward success as an entrepreneur but feeling deeply disconnected, Monica hit a wall that led to a nine-month "dark night of the soul."
