In this episode of The Connected Community: Exploring Possibility , Nicky Yazbeck is joined by Sarah Haas, a Women’s Weight Release & Body Love Coach, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Certified Personal Trainer, and yoga instructor. Sarah brings her deep expertise and personal journey as a fifty-something single mom and breast cancer survivor to a conversation about supporting women through midlife, menopause, and beyond. Together, they explore the physical and emotional changes that come with menopause—particularly hormonal fluctuations, weight gain, and the impact of stress. Sarah shares insights into the importance of strength training, adequate protein intake, and mindful nutrition to maintain muscle mass, boost metabolism, and support overall well-being. The conversation also touches on the role of self-compassion, body acceptance, and navigating dietary challenges like dairy sensitivity. Sarah offers practical tips for reading food labels and making empowered, nourishing choices that align with the body’s evolving needs. ** Side note: While recording this podcast, I was struggling with allergies and the massive amounts of pollen in the air, so please ignore the extremely red eyes, random tearing, and stuffiness! ** Takeaways: Many women struggle with hormonal imbalances during menopause. Nutrition plays a vital role in managing health during menopause. Weight gain can be rapid and unexpected during midlife. Maintaining muscle mass is crucial for metabolism as we age. Stress significantly affects hormonal balance and weight. Strength training is essential for women, especially in midlife. HIIT workouts can efficiently combine strength and cardio. Women often under-consume protein, impacting muscle health. Protein is necessary for muscle repair and growth. A balanced diet and exercise can alleviate menopause symptoms. A good starting point for protein intake is 0.8 grams per pound of body weight. Protein helps keep you satiated longer than carbohydrates. Fiber and protein together can help control hunger throughout the day. Nuts are primarily fats, not proteins, and should be consumed in moderation. It's essential to balance fat intake with protein and fiber for overall health. Dietary trends often swing between extremes, leading to confusion. Vegetables are crucial for a balanced diet; aim for 5-7 servings a day. Dairy can be hard to digest for many; listen to your body. Reading food labels is essential to avoid misleading claims. Body acceptance is vital as we age; focus on nourishing and respecting your body.

In this episode of The Connected Community Podcast , host Nicky Yazbeck welcomes transformational coach and Self-Care Alchemist, Samantha Gregory, for a powerful conversation about religious trauma and the path to spiritual freedom. With a background that includes surviving a dysfunctional family, cult upbringing, domestic abuse, divorce, bankruptcy, and early menopause from chronic stress, Samantha has turned her pain into purpose. She now teaches women how to reclaim their well-being through radical self-care, feminine embodiment, and sovereign leadership. Samantha shares her personal story of growing up in a restrictive, fear-based religious environment and the impact it had on her sense of self, mental health, and identity. She offers an honest look at how religious control can manifest as trauma and the inner work required to heal from it. Through her journey of leaving the church and reclaiming her spirituality, Samantha discovered the difference between externally imposed beliefs and an internally guided spiritual path. Together, Nicky and Samantha explore the nuances of family dynamics, the courage to question long-held beliefs, and the role of self-care and inner wisdom in rebuilding a life of authenticity, sovereignty, and self-acceptance. Takeaways Religious trauma is defined by control and manipulation. Fear-based teachings can lead to mental health issues. Separation from religion can lead to self-acceptance. Spirituality offers freedom and personal growth. Leaving toxic environments is essential for well-being. Community can be found outside of traditional religious structures. Self-worth is not determined by religious dogma. Miseducation in religion can hinder personal development. The journey to spirituality can be challenging but rewarding. Recognizing one's own power is key to spiritual freedom. There are phases of transition when leaving a religion. Internal validation is crucial for self-acceptance. Going no contact can be necessary for healing. Family dynamics can complicate personal growth. Reframing relationships with family can aid in healing. Questioning beliefs is essential for personal growth. Self-care is foundational for transformation. Trusting your own voice is vital in the healing process.

Somatic release can take many forms, including shaking and crying. Professional guidance is crucial in trauma work. Healing involves rewriting patterns in the nervous system. Grounding through the body is essential for healing. Embodiment leads to empowerment and self-acceptance. Changing posture can transform self-perception.

In this conversation, Nichole Jones shares her insights on brain spotting, a therapeutic technique for addressing trauma and emotional distress.

In this episode of The Connected Community Podcast , host Nicky Yazbeck speaks with Tiffany Freer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDRIA Approved Trainer and Consultant. Tiffany shares her deep expertise in using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy with children and adolescents, drawing from her experience in community mental health and the foster care system. Their conversation explores how trauma, both big and small, can impact a child’s development and emotional regulation, often leading to internalized beliefs of self-blame and unworthiness. Tiffany discusses the nuances of adapting EMDR for young clients, the importance of building positive memory networks, and how therapeutic storytelling can support healing, particularly for adopted children. Together, Nicky and Tiffany unpack the power of EMDR to address complex trauma and the vital role of a skilled, attuned therapist in guiding children and families toward lasting transformation. Takeaways: Childhood trauma can have lasting effects into adulthood. EMDR requires modifications when working with children. Concrete tools are essential for engaging children in therapy. Children can experience dysregulation similar to adults during therapy. Small traumas can have significant impacts on self-worth. Memories are stored state-dependently, affecting emotional responses. EMDR helps synthesize maladaptive and adaptive memory networks. Building positive memory networks is crucial in therapy. Therapeutic storytelling can be effective for adopted children. Many people experience trauma that they may not remember until later in life. Therapists should not act as fact-checkers but rather support clients in their journey. Children often internalize negative experiences, leading to self-blame. EMDR helps clients process trauma by alternating between past and present memories. The effectiveness of EMDR can vary based on the individual's prior experiences with trauma. Finding a qualified EMDR therapist is crucial for effective treatment. Therapists should be aware of the importance of resourcing clients before diving into trauma work. Children's memory networks are shorter, allowing for quicker reprocessing in therapy. Building a trusting relationship with clients is essential for effective therapy. Therapists must accept the limitations of their role in a child's healing process.

Christine is a Holistic Business Coach and Therapeutic Art Facilitator who supports entrepreneurs feeling stuck or creatively drained, helping them reconnect with their true selves and rebuild their businesses with clarity and purpose. With a Master’s in Art Therapy, Christine integrates polyvagal theory, somatic practices, and parts work into her unique approach. She shares her personal journey from burnout to discovering the power of art as a tool for healing and transformation. We dive into how creativity, body awareness, and nervous system regulation work together to support emotional well-being. Christine also guides listeners through an accessible art exercise, inviting connection with the inner child and the body’s innate wisdom. This inspiring conversation offers a fresh perspective on creativity—not as a talent, but as a vital part of healing and self-discovery. Takeaways: Therapeutic art is about expressing inner feelings, not creating perfect art. Polyvagal Theory explains how our nervous system affects our emotions. The body holds wisdom that can guide us in healing. Art can help make subconscious feelings visible. Engaging in creative practices can reconnect us with our inner child. Movement and breath are essential for regulating our nervous system. Therapeutic art can be done with simple materials at home. Self-discovery through art is a personal journey. Creativity is vital for mental health at any age. Listening to our intuition can lead to meaningful creative expression.

In this episode of The Connected Community Podcast , Nicky Yazbeck welcomes Nicola Navon, a relationship communication and leadership coach, to explore the magnetic dance between masculine and feminine energies and how they shape our most intimate connections. Drawing from over a decade of experience in psychology and communication, Nicola shares how her signature framework, The Union Method, helps individuals and couples cultivate deeper connection, trust, and fulfillment—both in the bedroom and beyond. Together, Nicky and Nicola dive into the often-unspoken dynamics that influence desire, vulnerability, and the expression of needs. They unpack the power of embodied communication, the role of polarity in creating passion, and the ways in which our attachment styles influence the way we relate. This heart-centered conversation invites listeners to reflect on the inner balance of their own masculine and feminine energies, offering a fresh perspective on cultivating intimacy, reigniting passion, and creating relationships that feel whole, alive, and deeply connected. Takeaways Understanding the balance of masculine and feminine energies is crucial for deeper intimacy. It only takes one person to understand energetics to shift the relationship dynamics. Vulnerability is key in expressing desires and needs in relationships. Women often need to step into their feminine to allow men to step into their masculine. Communication should be playful and inviting rather than controlling or nagging. Expressing desires requires a strong masculine core to voice them effectively. The fear of rejection impacts both men and women in expressing intimacy. Creating passion involves inviting partners to take the lead in a subtle way. Seduction can be a powerful tool in igniting desire in relationships. Acknowledging and appreciating partners' efforts fosters connection and balance. Finding healthy attachment starts with self. Navigating relationship dynamics requires understanding of attachment styles. Loneliness is a common human experience that needs addressing. Passion thrives on polarity and contrast in relationships. Creating excitement in long-term relationships is essential. Communication is key to intimacy and connection. Expressing needs is crucial to avoid resentment. Wholeness in oneself is necessary for healthy relationships. The process of intimacy should be prioritized over end goals. Exploring new experiences together can reignite passion.

Together, Nicky and Sarah explore the often-unspoken side of the spiritual and healing world such as the seductive nature of quick fixes, the glorification of transcendence at the expense of the human experience, and the shadow side of placing mentors on pedestals. They shine a light on the ways spiritual bypassing can subtly undermine genuine growth and emphasize the importance of staying anchored in authenticity, humility, and discernment. The conversation dives into red flags to be aware of in spiritual teachers and healing practitioners, including over-promising results, lack of transparency, and disconnection from their own humanity. They unpack the marketing of transformation at retreats, encouraging listeners to trust their inner knowing, honor their intuition, and approach healing not as something to be outsourced, but as a sacred collaboration between self and guide. Through this rich dialogue, Nicky and Sarah advocate for a return to self-honoring, embodied truth, and the slow, often messy, but deeply rewarding path of healing. Whether you’re just beginning your personal growth journey or navigating the complexities of finding the right support, this episode invites you into a space of reflection, empowerment, and deeper connection to your own wisdom. Takeaways: Spiritual bypassing can be a form of spiritual narcissism. The desire for quick fixes can lead to avoidance of deeper work. The journey of healing is more important than the destination. Humility is a crucial stage in the process of enlightenment. It's essential to run potential mentors through your own heart filter. Over-promising in mentorship is a significant red flag. Look for alignment between a teacher's words and actions. Avoid placing mentors on pedestals to prevent disillusionment. Effective teachers empower others to recognize their own light. The marketing of spiritual experiences can often be misleading. The intention behind seeking help is crucial for effective healing. Collaboration in healing is essential; it's not just outsourcing. Trusting your instincts is vital in any healing journey. Red flags include guarantees of healing or fixed outcomes. Empowerment comes from recognizing one's own healing capabilities. Healing is a layered process that varies for each individual. Self-honoring is key; it's okay to step back if needed. There are many paths to healing; no one way is the only way. Relatability and authenticity in practitioners are important.

In this episode of The Connected Community Podcast , Nicky Yazbeck sits down with Crystal Hines to explore the transformative world of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Together, they unpack the foundational concepts of IFS, from the protective roles of managers and firefighters to the tender vulnerabilities held by exiles. Crystal shares her personal healing journey with both IFS and EMDR, offering insight into the deep inner work that fosters emotional resilience and transformation. The conversation weaves through the complexities of shame, the significance of self-energy, and the power of embracing all parts of oneself. Crystal and Nicky also dive into the spiritual dimensions of IFS, the influence of generational trauma, and the growing intersection of plant medicine and therapy. With compassion and clarity, they highlight the importance of therapist self-work and the healing potential found in external relationships. This episode is an invitation to move toward a more self-led life, grounded in curiosity, connection, and wholeness. Takeaways: IFS is a therapeutic model created by Richard Schwartz. Protective parts develop to help us function in the world. Managers are proactive parts that prevent vulnerability. Firefighters are reactive parts that shut down feelings. Exiles carry the pain of past experiences. Shame often stems from a lack of co-regulation in childhood. Healing involves building a relationship with self-energy. Therapists must do their own work to support clients effectively. Self-energy is essential for healing and connection. Living a self-led life means embracing all parts of self. The best way to build access to self energy is to be with your parts. Triggers can be seen as opportunities for self-reflection and growth. Skepticism about parts work often stems from a part of the individual. Generational trauma can be addressed through personal healing work.
