💬 Got something to share? Text or voice note me (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2628501/fan_mail/new) You don't have to see the whole path to take the next step. Vietnam combat veteran, Marine, author, and man in long-term recovery Rand Timmerman joins me to share how he walked all 2,197 miles of the Appalachian Trail at 72 beside his brother Ron. The trip began as a way to support Ron through a hard season and became as spiritual as it was physical. In this episode: • Why Rand and Ron set out on the trail together • Recovery as a spiritual journey, and finding your own relationship with a higher power • "Trudge" means to walk with purpose: one step, then the next • A bear encounter 15 feet away, and the beauty Rand found on the trail • Why helping someone else makes our own problems smaller This week's invitation: Take one step toward something that feels too big to see all at once. Let that be enough. About Rand Timmerman Rand is a Vietnam veteran, author of A Spiritual Passage, and a speaker who has been in recovery for years. Still walking about seven miles a day, he attends meetings daily and helps others. 📖 Book and website: randtimmerman.com Links 🌸 7 days free on Elevate Me: studio.com/nyomi or elevatemenyomi.com 📝 Substack: substack.com/@theseasonofselflove 🌐 theseasonofselflove.com 📺 Subscribe on YouTube for videos and behind-the-scenes 📲 Instagram / TikTok: @theseasonofsellovepodcast | Facebook: theseasonofselflove Brought to you by Goalie and the Elevate Me Self-Discovery App. This episode shares one person's recovery story and is not a substitute for professional care.

Your Peace Doesn't Need a Permission Slip

💬 Got something to share? Text or voice note me (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2628501/fan_mail/new) Have you ever waited for someone to say it was okay before you protected your peace? This Mindset Monday, we talk about the moment you stop waiting for permission. A boundary doesn't need a witness to be real. It doesn't have to be understood, celebrated, or even liked. Other people's reactions are information about them, not a verdict on you. In this episode: • Why we learned to ask before we say no • Setting a boundary and still loving the person • Where you might be waiting right now • The shift from "Will they be okay with this?" to "Am I okay with this?" This week's invitation: Name one place where you're waiting for permission. You don't have to act yet. Just ask yourself, "Am I okay with this?" Affirmation: My peace is not up for approval. I don't need a signature to take care of myself. 🎧 Pairs well with last Monday's episode, "I Know Better, So I Do Better" with Dr. Will Washington.

You're Not Broken, You're Depleted: The Primal Five with Dr. Matthew Campbell

💬 Got something to share? Text or voice note me (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2628501/fan_mail/new) What if you're not broken? What if you're just depleted? On this Wisdom Wednesday, Nyomi Banks sits down with psychologist Dr. Matthew Campbell, PhD, creator of the Primal Five framework, to talk about the five basic needs modern life has quietly stripped away from almost all of us, and why fixing yourself might be the wrong goal entirely. Our world has changed, but our bodies have not. In more than 20 years of practice, Dr. Campbell kept seeing the same thing: people working hard on their pain while the fundamentals that give them capacity came last. Together, Nyomi and Dr. Campbell talk about what depletion really feels like day to day, why the idea of "earning" rest is the trap, and how to begin with one small shift instead of chasing perfection. In this episode: • The Primal Five: sunlight, sleep, movement, meaningful connection, and consumption (what you eat and what you feed your mind) • The signs of depletion before burnout: always tired, caffeine all day, irritability, isolating, everything feeling effortful • Why meaningful connection is the most overlooked need, and what it means when "the person is the end" • Resting because your body needs it vs. resting because you think you earned it • One easy place to start: take your morning coffee or tea outside for 15 to 30 minutes of sunlight Connect with Dr. Matthew Campbell Free capacity quiz, the Our Primal Five workbook and app: ourprimalfive.com (https://www.ourprimal5.com/) Love yourself first so you can love others well. • Continue your self-discovery with the Elevate Me app: elevatemenyomi.com • Free Mindset Monday worksheet every week: substack.com/@theseasonofselflove (http://substack.com/@theseasonofselflove) • Watch on YouTube: @TheSeasonofSelfLove • Instagram & TikTok: @theseasonofselflovepodcast • Facebook: theseasonofselflove • Website: theseasonofselflove.com Elevate Me: Self Discovery App (https://studio.com/nyomi/elevate?a=season-user&c=Dle0QNTV) 4-phase self-love journey: meditations, workbooks, coaching chat & journaling.

"I Know Better, So I Do Better": Emotional Intelligence in Action (With Dr. Will Washington)

💬 Got something to share? Text or voice note me (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2628501/fan_mail/new) Understanding something intellectually is one thing. Catching yourself before you react the old way is where the real work shows. Dr. Will Washington is back on The Season of Self Love! In this Mindset Monday conversation, we pick up where we left off on emotional intelligence and ask what actually happens in the gap between feeling an old impulse and choosing to respond differently. Dr. Will, a licensed therapist, speaker, and longtime friend of the show, breaks down the survival instincts behind that moment, the idea that we each have a biological age, an emotional age, and a spiritual age (and that it matters which one is speaking up), and why emotional intelligence is about awareness, not just articulation. We talk about "rupture and repair," how to set boundaries as "if-then" statements instead of waiting for people to guess your triggers, why consideration is a love language, and why attachment and connection are not the same thing. Along the way, you'll hear both of us get real about what it looks like when the unhealed version of us shows up, and how to honor that moment without being run by it. We talk about: • What's happening in the gap between an old impulse and a new choice • Biological age, emotional age, and spiritual age: which one is speaking up in this moment? • Why emotional intelligence is a spectrum of awareness, and how it differs from emotional articulation • Why caregivers (and anyone who loves someone through a hard season) often write themselves out of their own story • How to tell when something is "heavy," and listening to what your body is telling you • Rupture and repair: owning your part, and deciding together whether to continue or let a lesson be a lesson • Why triggers are often unresolved work and not proof that someone caused harm • Boundaries as "if-then" statements: it's not other people's job to know your triggers, it's yours • Consideration as a love language • Attachment vs. connection • Why delivery matters, and sharing space for repair when it doesn't land • Healing as a lifestyle, not a destination: "Heal always" If you've ever done the work, understood the pattern, and still felt the old version of you rise up, this episode is about what to do in that exact moment. A Gentle Invitation From This Episode This week, you're invited to notice one moment when you feel the old impulse rising. Pause. You don't have to do it perfectly. Just notice it and catch it before it catches you. In This Episode • Welcome back, Dr. Will — what he's been working on, including a talk at Oxford on mind and music and a men's group called Brothers Healing Brothers in Cleveland • Guided meditation — "I can pause. I can breathe. I can choose." • The gap between impulse and choice — survival instincts and what feels unsafe • Which age is speaking? — biological, emotional, and spiritual • Awareness vs. articulation — emotional intelligence in action • When your body says "this is heavy" • "I know better, so I do better" — and why it isn't about thinking you're better than anyone • Rupture and repair — what they are and how to do them • Honoring your peace — sometimes you have to disrupt the peace to honor your peace • Boundaries as "if-then" statements — and consideration as a love language • Triggers and blind spots — when it's about unresolved work • Attachment vs. connection • Delivery, harm, and repair • Closing reflection — the pause is where your power lives • Dr. Will's closing words — "Be kind to yourself and heal always." About Dr. Will Washington Dr. Will Washington is a licensed therapist with nearly 15 years of experience, a speaker, and the voice behind the "Heal Always" philosophy that has shaped much of this show. He recently spoke at Oxford University on mind and music (using music in therapeutic healing) and leads "Brothers Healing Brothers," experiential groups for men in the Cleveland area. His work with the Washington Wellness Institute focuses on modernizing how we take mental illness into holistic wellness and making healing a lifestyle. He's also part of a live-streamed show with another therapist on his YouTube channel. • Washington Wellness Institute: sign up for a free 15-minute consultation • YouTube: his live-streamed show (link to be added) Resources & Links 🧘 Washington Wellness Institute — free 15-minute consultation with Dr. Will Washington https://www.youtube.com/@Wash_Wellness 🌸 Start your self-love journey today — 7 days free on Elevate Me: studio.com/nyomi (https://studio.com/nyomi) or elevatemenyomi.com (https://elevatemenyomi.com) 📝 The Season of Self Love on Substack: substack.com/@theseasonofselflove (https://substack.com/@theseasonofselflove) 🌐 The Season of Self Love website: theseasonofselflove.com (https://theseasonofselflove.com) ...
