このコンテンツについて

 Feelings...and Other Inconveniences is our honest, curious, and sometimes humble look at the things we carry, why we carry them, and how we start putting some of it down. We're Sarah Dosanjh, psychotherapist, and Stefanie Michele, life coach—two women on our own growth journeys, exploring what makes us who we are. Inspired by Carl Jung's idea that "until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate," we're on a mission to turn the light on inside ourselves—and invite you to do the same. Though we're very different in most ways (and you'll probably notice), we share deeply held values and a mutual obsession with personal growth. This show is a space where we'll share our stories and reflections with honesty, humour and heart. We're not here as experts with all the answers, but as fellow travellers figuring it out as we go—curious about why we react the way we do, what's beneath the surface, and how we can live more consciously, more connected, and more on purpose.2025 個人的成功 社会科学 自己啓発

    13. The Mental Load: Why Our Brains Won't Switch Off
    2025/12/13
    In this episode of Feelings… and Other Inconveniences, we dive into the invisible weight of mental load – the constant thinking, tracking and planning that never seems to switch off, even when we are "off duty."
    • Are we confusing mental load with caring?
    • What happens in our bodies when we are carrying too much?
    • And what do we believe will fall apart if we stop managing everything?
    We talk about: 💫 How to tell the difference between stress and anxiety in real life, not just in theory 💫 Caring for ageing parents, parenting, work and that feeling of always having "one more thing" to do 💫 The idea of open loops and why unfinished tasks drain so much energy 💫 When mental load becomes part of our identity and why letting go can feel selfish 💫 Control, non-attachment and those fleeting moments of "I actually don't mind what happens" 💫 Guilt, people pleasing and why even help from others can trigger discomfort If your brain feels like it is running a full-time job no one is paying you for, this one is for you.

  • 12. The Need for External Validation

    12. The Need for External Validation
    2025/10/25

    In this episode, hosts Sarah Dosanjh, psychotherapist and author, and Stefanie Michele, certified coach and somatic practitioner, dive into the complex psychology of external validation—why we crave approval, how it shapes our sense of worth, and what it means to find confidence that isn't dependent on others.

    They explore how early attachment experiences and mirroring affect our lifelong need for recognition, why creative or purpose-driven work can heighten validation sensitivity, and how to tell the difference between healthy acknowledgment vs dependency.

    Stefanie reflects on her own relationship with feedback as both a mirror and a trap, while Sarah discusses how surrender, faith, and trust in a larger process help ground her self-worth beyond productivity or external praise.

    The conversation also looks at how social media and online culture amplify our validation loops, creating a false sense of connection while eroding genuine self-trust.

    Together, they unpack the nervous system's role in these patterns—how seeking approval often mirrors our search for safety—and offer insights for cultivating inner steadiness through awareness, connection, and compassion.

    Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of:

    • Why we're wired to seek validation and how it ties to belonging

    • The role of early attachment in adult self-worth

    • How to discern acknowledgment from dependency

    • Why social media intensifies validation needs

    • Somatic and psychological tools for grounding self-esteem

  • 11. The Inner Critic: Origins of a Misguided Life Coach

    11. The Inner Critic: Origins of a Misguided Life Coach
    2025/09/27

    Most of us know the voice: the one that points out what we should have done differently, or insists we're falling short. In this episode, Stefanie Michele (coach and somatic practitioner) and Sarah (psychotherapist and author) unpack the inner critic—where it begins, how it shows up, and how to shift it from a harsh opponent into something more useful.

    They explore how the critic is shaped by cultural pressures, authority figures, and even the small conclusions we draw ourselves, like comparing our bodies to others as kids. They distinguish between the "interjector" critic (the voices we internalize) and the "concluder" critic (the judgments we create), showing how both can take root and influence our sense of self.

    This conversation also looks at:

    • How to recognize the difference between criticism and healthy self-reflection

    • Why the tone of inner dialogue matters as much as the content

    • The role of validation in softening self-judgment and creating room for growth

    • How "fierce self-compassion" can turn frustration with cultural expectations into a source of strength

    • The possibility that the critic is sometimes protective, trying to keep us safe by holding us in familiar territory

    Rather than trying to silence the critic altogether, Stefanie and Sarah consider what happens when we meet it with curiosity, compassion, and a little reframing—so that voice becomes less of a tormentor and more of a reluctant ally.
