Beschreibung

In this heartfelt first episode of Thursday Unplugged on A Superwoman Handbook, Patrick Reid opens up about the quiet pressure so many people feel to shrink themselves, stay agreeable, and fit into expectations that were never meant for them. Inspired by the simple but powerful reminder to “take up your space,” Patrick shares a deeply personal reflection on authenticity, self-acceptance, and the courage it takes to stop hiding who you truly are. Through honest storytelling and meaningful insight, this episode explores the emotional weight of conformity, the fear of being misunderstood, and the freedom that comes from embracing your evolving self without apology. Referencing the timeless words of Ralph Waldo Emerson — “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment” — Patrick dives into how growth often means changing, learning, and allowing yourself to become someone new. From a touching story about a ceramic toothbrush holder to the emotional message behind the original song “Cup of Tea,” this conversation is a reminder that you do not need to water yourself down to be accepted. Whether you’ve been silencing your voice, dimming your personality, or struggling to fully own your space, this episode will encourage you to stop apologizing for who you are and start showing up authentically. Because the world doesn’t need a smaller version of you. It needs the real one.   Connect with Patrick Reid: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/preidmusic/ [https://www.instagram.com/preidmusic/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/154246411831481?ref=NONE_xav_ig_profile_page_web [https://www.facebook.com/154246411831481?ref=NONE_xav_ig_profile_page_web]   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ [https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/] Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com [http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com]   Listen & Subscribe: Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Episode Thursday Unplugged EP4: Why Love Isn't Always Happy—But It's Always Worth It Cover

Thursday Unplugged EP4: Why Love Isn't Always Happy—But It's Always Worth It

Join Gillian Utesch and Patrick Reid for another honest conversation on Thursday Unplugged, where real stories lead to meaningful reflection. Love isn't always easy. The strongest relationships aren't built on perfect moments—they're built on what happens after disappointment, disagreement, and heartbreak. In this heartfelt episode, Patrick explores why every meaningful relationship carries its own scars and why those scars often become the greatest evidence of love, resilience, and growth. Through personal stories and thoughtful reflection, he shares how pain doesn't always weaken relationships—it can strengthen them when we choose healing over resentment. Together, Gillian and Patrick discuss the difference between temporary connections and lifelong relationships, the beauty found in imperfection, and why some of our favorite memories are tied to the moments that challenged us the most. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, rebuilding trust, or simply reflecting on the people who matter most, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on love, forgiveness, and what it truly means to stay connected. Sometimes the strongest relationships aren't the ones without scars—they're the ones that choose to heal together.   Connect with Patrick Reid: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/preidmusic/ [https://www.instagram.com/preidmusic/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/154246411831481?ref=NONE_xav_ig_profile_page_web [https://www.facebook.com/154246411831481?ref=NONE_xav_ig_profile_page_web]   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ [https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/] Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com [http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com]   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

A Superwoman Handbook S3 EP13: Mindy Jackson on Intuition, Trauma & Inner Knowing

Join host Gillian Utesch on A Superwoman Handbook as she sits down with Mindy Jackson, a licensed psychotherapist, Reiki Master, Medical Intuitive, Shamanic Practitioner, NLP Coach, and trauma specialist, for a thought-provoking conversation about intuition, healing, spirituality, and reclaiming your inner knowing. From a childhood near-death experience to a lifetime devoted to trauma healing and spiritual development, Mindy shares how her personal journey shaped her understanding of intuition, emotional healing, and the importance of reconnecting with the wisdom we often learn to ignore. Together, Gillian and Mindy explore how trauma can influence the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us, why many people disconnect from their inner voice, and how developing greater self-awareness can become part of the healing process. They discuss the relationship between spirituality and personal growth, balancing feminine and masculine qualities, emotional resilience, and the role of discernment when navigating life's challenges. Mindy also shares insights from her integrative approach to healing, which combines psychotherapy with trauma-informed practices, energy work, and nervous system support. Whether you're exploring intuition for the first time, interested in spiritual development, recovering from trauma, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, this conversation offers perspectives on healing, authenticity, and living with greater intention. This episode invites listeners to slow down, trust themselves more deeply, and consider how healing the past can create more freedom in the present.   Connect with Mindy Jackson: Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1298495 [https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1298495]   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ [https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/] Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com [http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com]   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   #ASuperwomanHandbook #MindyJackson #intuition  #traumahealing  #spiritualgrowth  #innerknowing  #personalgrowth  #selfawareness  #mentalwellbeing  #energyhealing  #ptsdrecovery  #healingjourney  #authenticity  #womenempowerment  #season3

A Superwoman Handbook S3 EP12: Crystal Griffith on Medical Advocacy & Taking Back Control

Join host Gillian Utesch on A Superwoman Handbook as she sits down with Crystal Griffith, founder of Medical Mom Warriors™ and creator of the Medical Stability Blueprint™, for a powerful conversation about navigating complex healthcare, advocating with confidence, and building stability inside medical chaos. For many parents and caregivers, managing a loved one’s complex health needs can feel like a full-time job with no roadmap. Doctor appointments, insurance denials, referrals, medical records, conflicting opinions, and the emotional weight of caregiving can quickly become overwhelming. Crystal knows this reality through lived experience—and she has made it her mission to help families feel less alone while giving them practical tools to move forward. In this episode, Crystal shares why patients and caregivers have the right to question whether a doctor is truly the right fit, how preparing before appointments can completely change the conversation, and why understanding medical records and asking better questions can strengthen self-advocacy. Together, Gillian and Crystal explore the realities of insurance battles, navigating referrals, requesting accommodations, building a trusted support network, and using modern tools—including AI and online communities—to become more informed and organized throughout the healthcare journey. Crystal also discusses her trauma-informed approach to helping medical moms and chronically ill individuals move from constant crisis management toward greater clarity and stability. As a three-time bestselling author, her work combines lived experience with practical advocacy strategies and clear action plans designed for families carrying complex medical responsibilities. Whether you’re a medical mom, caregiver, chronically ill individual, or someone who has ever felt dismissed or powerless inside the healthcare system, this episode offers a powerful reminder: you are allowed to ask questions, seek another opinion, and advocate for care that truly fits your needs. This conversation is about turning chaos into clarity, fear into informed action, and isolation into community—because no caregiver should have to carry the entire journey alone.   Connect with Crystal Griffith Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/k.crystal.griffith [https://www.facebook.com/k.crystal.griffith] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medmomwarriors [https://www.instagram.com/medmomwarriors] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@medicalmomwarriors [https://www.youtube.com/@medicalmomwarriors]   Connect with Gillian LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ [https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/] Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com [http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com]   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   #ASuperwomanHandbook #CrystalGriffith #MedicalMomWarriors #medicaladvocacy    #patientadvocacy  #caregiversupport  #MedicalMoms #healthcareadvocacy  #chronicillness  #caregiverlife  #patientempowerment  #healthcarenavigation  #womenempowerment  #MedicalStability #season3
