Building a relationship to pleasure and intimacy takes a lot of intention in this society that still treats talking about sex as taboo. So many people struggle with intimacy due to lack of communication, trauma, and societal conditioning to disconnect from their bodies and desires. Improving intimacy requires us to unlearn harmful norms and relearn our embodied self. Tools like love languages and embodied practices can help us engage in conscious communication with partners. It helps to create a safe container to explore these sensitive topics compassionately, gain perspective on cultivating more fulfilling relationships.In this episode of Unlimited, I invited Daniela Stevens (she/they) to join me in a conversation about how to meet yourself where you’re at as you build a relationship to pleasure and intimacy.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:Breaking the rules we assume in romantic relationshipsLearning to love yourself and listen to your bodyShifting from goals to intentions in sexThe pressure to perform and recovering from ways we disconnectLINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:How to Create Belonging with Amena Chaudhry2017 Medium Article - Why Men Keep Demanding Sex from their Partners Over and OverMonsters In Love: Why Your Partner Sometimes Drives You Crazy—And What You Can Do About It by Resmaa MenakemCONNECT WITH DANIELA STEVENSWebsiteInstagramFree Gift for deeper sexual connectionCONNECT WITH VALERIE:WebsiteInstagramFacebookFree ResourcesGet email updatesSupport the show
Creating healthy relationships in all areas of our life is the focus of this season of Unlimited. A relationship is how we relate to another person, place, thing, or even concept. How we relate to ourselves is at the core of how we relate to others. Yet, how we understand and relate to ourselves is also built from those external relationships. Unfortunately, most of us haven’t been taught how to cultivate healthy relationships let alone experienced examples of them. In many cases we need to first unlearn harmful ways of relating before we can learn healing ways of relating. First, we’ll lay a foundation of understanding healthy and unhealthy relating. Then, over the next several months, we’ll explore how it applies to all areas of our life.In this episode of Unlimited, I’m kicking off the focus of season 4 by setting a foundation for creating healthy relationships.Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:Understanding relationships beyond the interpersonalQualities of healthy relationships like trust, honesty, communication, and self-awarenessRelationship red flags like control, disrespect, imbalances, and hurtful languageBuilding self-trust and growing through conflictWhat to expect in Season 4 of UnlimitedLINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: Signs of a Healthy Relationship Tips for Building a Stronger Relationship Ask a question or share a topic for the podcastApply to be coached on the podcastCONNECT WITH VALERIE: Website Instagram Facebook Free Resources Get email updatesSupport the show

Aligning with your astrology is a way to explore what works for you. From new year plans to parenting, it’s one thing to recognize that there’s no one size fits all, but it can be hard to step outside the norms without some kind of framework to work from. Not to mention, it’s even harder to think outside the box when you’re already exhausted from trying to function within the normalized systems that aren’t working for you. Astrology is a tool that can help you explore other ways to look at challenges and maximize opportunities both in preparing for the year ahead as well as looking at dynamics in your relationships with kids and parents.In this episode of Unlimited, I invited Babs Cheung to join me in a conversation about how to align with your astrology as you plan for a new year.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:Calendar year vs Fiscal yearUnderstanding your cosmic flowAstrology as a parenting toolCycles in your life and generational patterns LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:Astro.comCafé AstrologyCafé Astrology 2024 EphemerisThe Myth of NormalCONNECT WITH BABS CHEUNG: WebsiteInstagram LinkedInDiscovery Quiz CONNECT WITH VALERIE: Website Instagram FacebookFree ResourcesGet email updates! Support the show
Accessing the true power of gratitude requires going beyond the individual mindset approach that is typically referenced. Expressions of gratitude have been observed among many communally based species. It supports group functioning. Thus, the true power of gratitude is in collective connection, not individual mindset. Studies show that there are a plethora of benefits to gratitude. The problems of toxic positivity and tolerating unacceptable behavior shows up when gratitude is used as a tool of individualism.In this episode of Unlimited, I’m exploring accessing the true power of gratitude through shifting out of individualistic thinking and into collective consideration.Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:The biological purpose of gratitudeGuilt vs responsibilityIndividualism’s distortion of gratitudeDeveloping a gratitude practiceThank you for listening!

How to create belonging starts with understanding that most of us don’t know what belonging really is. It’s hard to create something that you haven’t first experienced and there is a difference between intellectually understanding vs experiencing something. What most of us do experience is strong conditioning from a young age around fitting in - to our families, in our school, and, ultimately, in society. This “fitting in” is part of how we are taught to uphold oppressive social systems because creates a faux belonging that activates our need for belonging but only fills it by exclusion. So, no wonder this is a struggle for many organizations and why we need help to understand and create it. In this episode of Unlimited, I invited Amena Chaudhry to join me in a conversation about how to create belonging in a true way for all.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:What is belonging?Fitting in vs belongingDisrupting social normsBuilding emotional literacyLeadership skills for DEI & antiracism workLINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:The Myth of Normal by Gabor MatéThe Culture Code by Daniel CoyleThe Wake Up by Michelle Mijung KimThe Roundtable Talk by Meena MalikCONNECT WITH AMENA CHAUDHRY:WebsiteLinkedInArt of Interrupting Racism workshopCONNECT WITH VALERIE:WebsiteInstagramFacebookFree ResourcesGet email updates! Support the show
Reclaiming humanity through grief is necessary for our ability to intentionally create a world that honors each person's humanity. Understanding and having space to grieve and support each other through our grief helps us to connect to our shared humanity. In so many often unconscious ways, we are encouraged to dehumanize ourselves and others. One way this happens is a disconnect from our emotions and especially a lack of understanding and space to honor grief, not just our individual grief but also our communal grief. To rehumanize ourselves and overcome the pressures to dehumanize others, we must allow the space necessary for grief and healing.  In this episode of Unlimited, I’m exploring understanding grief and how we can reclaim our humanity through grief.Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:Types of grief: traumatic grief, communal grief and historical griefUnderstanding anger and processing griefAlgorithms and communityDiscernment in mediaReclaiming humanityThank you for listening!

Rethinking empowerment and releasing comparison go hand in hand in a society where empowerment is treated as a commodity and lifestyle is used as a sales tactic. Lifestyle as a sales tactic encourages us to compare how happy we are to how happy someone supposedly living a particular lifestyle appears to be. When empowerment is the commodity being sold, it becomes the way to achieve that lifestyle. These idealized lifestyles tend to uphold societal norms and often become internalized through frequent messaging. Comparison can be a helpful tool for noticing what you have internalized as preferable in life, which may also help you release the comparison. In this episode of Unlimited, I’m exploring rethinking empowerment and releasing comparison to create a more aligned and authentically joyful way of life.Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:Re-thinking empowermentWalking through changeThe influence of normsBuying out of the fantasyUsing comparisons for self-reflectionThank you for listening!

How to cure comparisonitis starts by understanding the cause and that this isn’t just a “you” problem. It’s something that impacts you, your confidence, your sense of self, and your well-being, so it feels deeply personal. Since it’s internal, comparisonitis feels like a habit of comparing yourself to others in one or multiple areas. It’s usually triggered in an area that already feels endangered in some way – often things like financial success or belonging. It turns into a cycle of validation seeking where you feel inadequate or less than, doubt yourself and your abilities and seek validation from others which tends to further erode self-esteem. It’s also framed as an individual issue even when noted as being exacerbated by things like social media. But you can tell there’s more to it both in what feels threatened and how it’s exacerbated.In this episode of Unlimited, I’m exploring the causes of and how to cure comparisonitis.Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:Losing my self and self-trustSacrificing authenticity for belongingSurvival mode upholds societal normsEngaging individual and collective healing4 steps to recalibrate your inner compassThank you for listening!

Insights from change making feminist founders are an important type of support for other feminist business owners and leaders. We are surrounded by stories of what success is and what you must do to achieve it that perpetuate exploitation of ourselves, of others, and of our planet. These stories are what is normalized but they aren’t the only way. Hearing other stories and ways of doing business helps us believe and trust in the possibility of change. It helps us tap into and generate ideas outside the normalized boxes. Additionally, and maybe most importantly, it helps us know that we are not alone.In this episode of Unlimited, I invited Becky Mollenkamp to join me in a conversation about the insights she's gotten from interviewing change making feminist founders.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:Unlearning and the journey to find a new pathHierarchical vs egalitarian business structureExploring the term FeminismRecognizing where you still need work and doing itCollective work and enoughnessLINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:Working it Out PodcastCONNECT WITH BECKY MOLLENKAMP: WebsiteInstagramThreadsFeminist Founders Podcast CONNECT WITH VALERIE: Website Instagram Facebook Get email updates! Support the show
How to create a schedule that works for you cannot take a one size fits all approach. Most so called “successful people” strategies play on the false idea that we all have the same 24 hours and should, therefore, be able to get the same amount done. These strategies fail to factor in our humanity, discount our lived experiences, and fuel self-doubt. Instead of trying to fit someone else’s mold, you deserve routines that honor your humanity and support you where you are. Part of creating a schedule that works for you also means acknowledging that what works for you may look different at different times too. In this episode of Unlimited, I’m diving into the foundations that help you create a schedule that works for you with both structure and flexibility.Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:How to bake flexibility into your plansDetermining routines that support youMeeting yourself where you’re at in creating new habitsUnderstanding the relationship between time and energyExercises to assess where you’re spending your energyThank you for listening!

How to cultivate self-love is also how you develop self-confidence, make room for self-care, and show up as your best self. This episode is an updated replay of the season one episode, Relearning Self-Love. Your relationship with yourself is the foundation for your relationship with everyone and everything in your life. Unfortunately, it is also the relationship that we are constantly conditioned to ignore. Even the emphasis on the importance of self-care turns into a pressure when the foundation for care hasn’t been given room to be cultivated. Instead of helping us take care of ourselves better, this pressure further fuels the disconnect within ourselves.In this episode of Unlimited, I’m diving into how to cultivate self-love, especially in times when life is happening and we feel out of control.Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:The difference between self-love and self-careIdentifying your level of self-loveNoticing if and how you express love to yourselfWays to build self-confidence through lovePreventing self-love sabotageThank you for listening!

The 7 Ways to Relax this Summer are also the ways we can learn to bring more rest into our lives. We have seven areas that influence our energy and each needs care as we learn to release, relax, and rest. Our society is infused with stories that pull us away from our humanity, which includes devaluing rest. Part of the process of truly relaxing is recognizing the stories we’ve internalized that keep us from relaxing. This allows us to see the systems that feed us these stories more clearly. Another part is forgiving ourselves, not because it’s our fault, but because beating ourselves up is another way we’ve been conditioned to dehumanize ourselves.In this episode of Unlimited, the podcast, I explore 7 ways to relax this summer that support healing beyond the vacation.Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:The pressures of perfectionism & productivityReleasing the lie of lazyEmbracing a growth mindsetLearning and forgiving yourself7 ways to make space to relax REFERENECED IN THIS EPISODE:Rest is Resistance – A Manifesto by Tricia HerseyLaziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price, Ph.D.The Femme Historian InstagramThe Femme Historian Buy Me A CoffeeUNLIMITED EPISODES REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE:The Value of RestNavigating Obstacles to RestClarifying What You WantCONNECT WITH VALERIE: Facebook Instagram Get email updates!

How to Navigate Societal Gaslighting and Stay Empowered is an updated replay of the season one episode “No, You’re Not Crazy.” Most information regarding gaslighting focuses on the psychological experience within individual relationships. However, gaslighting is actually a societal phenomenon with roots in social power dynamics. Those roots are why it is common to experience the psychological impact of gaslighting during periods of social change. However, because we tend to think of gaslighting as an individual experience, the effect of the societal gaslighting is exacerbated and our ability to navigate the stress is inhibited. We must step out of this over-individualization in order to develop support ourselves through the stress and engage this time with intention. In this episode of Unlimited, the podcast, I engage how to navigate societal gaslighting and stay empowered in times of social change.Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:What a period of anomie looks likeGaslighting and how it’s showing up in our livesShifting how you think about and engage stressIntentionally connecting to your values and setting boundariesVisioning through risk assessmentARTICLES REFERENECED IN THIS EPISODE:The Sociology of GaslightingThe Sociological Definition of AnomieAnomie in the Sociological Perspective of Emile DurkheimStop Telling Women They Have Impostor SyndromeIs Someone Gaslighting You?Here’s How To spot If You’re Being GaslightedEmbracing Stress Is More Important Than Reducing StressUNLIMITED EPISODES REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE:3 Things You Need to Create Stability in Times of UncertaintyHow to Start MeditatingUnderstanding Your Stress LanguageRelearning Self-LoveGirl, Learn to ApologizeRed Flags in Online businessToxic PositivityCONNECT WITH VALERIE:FacebookInstagramGet email updates!Work with Valerie!Support the show
Resilience through unexpected career shifts is often something you realize in retrospect. It's natural to feel stress in times of change, especially during unexpected transitions that impact your financial security. It can feel overwhelming when you're walking through them. Once you know that you successfully regained a certain equilibrium in your life you can look back with greater perspective. It's rare these days to have a job that lasts a life time or even to have a linear career journey. We're in a time of transition societally and many people are experiencing that in a very personal way, particularly in their career. One way to gain perspective in the moment is to recall times where you have successfully navigated unexpected shifts in the past. Another way to gain perspective is to tap into other people's experience.In this episode of Unlimited, I invited F. John Potter (aka my dad) to join me in a conversation about what resilience looks like through unexpected career shifts.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes: Being open to the unexpectedDecision-making with the support of friendsCourage and defining enoughNavigating unemploymentThe accumulation of skillsThank you for listening!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it!

Three things you need to create stability in times of uncertainty are to know yourself, to stay curious, and to build community. We are in a massive period of change and that comes with a great deal of uncertainty. Uncertainty naturally triggers feelings of overwhelm, which make it hard to take action. This is NOT an individual failing. Much of what feeds this instability is systemic, not individual. With that in mind, I invite you to remember that you are part of the system and you DO have power. In order to engage that power and help build a healthier foundation, you need to start with building your own foundation. This will give you the stability to do something different, which is the only way we can begin to create something different. In this episode of Unlimited, I explore the three ways you create stability in times of uncertainty.Some of what I talk about in this episode includes:Shifting out of overwhelmEstablishing a foundation of self-connectionFear of failure and binary thinkingCultivating a curious mindsetThe necessity of communityThank you for listening!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it!

Values aligned leadership is central to running a values aligned business. Companies of any size that want to go beyond checking boxes must intentionally cultivate leadership based in clear values. A company’s most valuable asset is its people. Centering humanity at all levels of a company supports morale, efficiency, quality of work, and, ultimately, company health. Unfortunately, many people haven’t experienced examples of values aligned leadership and that makes it hard to create.In this episode of Unlimited, I invited Alesia Galati to join me in a conversation about what values aligned leadership looks like in practice.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes: Aligning personal and business valuesSetting boundaries and expectationsConsidering employee AND client experienceToo little or too much work is a problemInvesting in your teamThank you for listening!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it!

“Am I just making excuses?” is something most people wonder at some point when they are not following through on something they say they want to do. From health goals to work goals, the story we’re surrounded by is that of weakness. It’s self-sabotage. You aren’t trying hard enough, so you don’t want it badly enough. It’s lack of maturity. Basically, whatever the details of the message are, the energy is judgmental and shame inducing. This is the messaging because we’ve learned to use shame to motivate even though it doesn’t work. Actually, all it really does is block us from discovering what’s really going on and accessing our ability to find a solution.In this episode of Unlimited, I explore understanding why and alternatives to asking if you’re just making excuses.Some of what I talk about in this episode includes:What is an excuseReasons people make excusesSeparating identity from behaviorHow to stop making excusesSupporting aligned actionThank you for listening!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it!

How to Prioritize Your Needs in a supportive way means going beyond Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. People often reference this motivational theory when trying to understand behavior and choices. It's popular because it creates a simple framework that makes sense in our hierarchical, over-individualized society. It's problematic for the same reason, AND because it's based in a highly biased study influenced by the colonial corruption of native wisdom. Additionally, modern neuroscience now provides evidence of the inaccuracies of this model. To create a healthier way of being in the world, we need a healthier approach to understanding and honoring our needs.In this episode of Unlimited, I explore deconstructing Maslow’s Hierarchy and creating an intuitive approach to prioritizing your needs.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:Understanding Maslow’s hierarchy of needsNeuroscience of belongingDecolonizing self-actualizationDiscerning your prioritiesThank you for listening!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it!

Creating a human-centered work culture is the antidote to the burnout that is now pervasive in the work place. While learning how to create a human-centered work culture is of particular importance to managers and leaders in organizations, it is not for them alone. Brains love patterns and, without intentional engagement, people carry this dehumanizing relationship with work when they leave a particular workplace and even into their own entrepreneurship. So, regardless of your current work or workplace, we all need tools to intentionally engage our relationship to work. Being able to understand, create, and advocate for healthy boundaries in work is a skill that benefits everyone. In this episode of Unlimited, I invited Marissa Badgley, MSW to join me in a conversation about creating a human-centered work culture.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:Why companies need an intentional cultureThe importance of compassion AND accountabilityThe multiple layers and impact of trust in organizationsSetting boundaries and creating team buy-inWho gets a seat at your table and creating a safe tableThank you for listening!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it!
