| 6/1/26 | The Helper Takes a Pause-And Sees What She Couldn’t See While Helping #018 | In this episode, I share a major insight about the deep mental, emotional, and spiritual fatigue I’ve been feeling for months, beyond any physiological issues like adrenal exhaustion.After my mom’s death two months ago (and years of living in a “helper” identity that kept me on the giving end), I realized my giving and receiving feel imbalanced.Now, I’m choosing a true sabbatical from the giver persona and committing to show up for myself in receiving mode, while still continuing the podcast.Is it time to reflect on your own balance of giving and receiving?Sign up for my newsletter: https://drkathleenperry.activehosted.com/f/7 | 15m 40s | ||||||
| 5/25/26 | When Worrying About Your Body Won't Stop #017 | You can have the exact same symptom in two different situations, but experience it differently depending on what your mind is doing.I was recently lying in bed with my thoughts spiraling. I could feel my heart pounding. Then, after getting up the next morning and going to a meditation, my heart completely calmed down.This shift wasn’t because the symptom disappeared, but because my thinking shifted...and when your thinking shifts, your experience shifts.The Intelligence Inside — a 5-week course, May 26 – June 23.

| 5/18/26 | The Real Reason Anxiety Keeps Coming Back #016 | Anxiety doesn’t define who you are and it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It’s okay to have sensations or thoughts that trigger it.Like weather, anxiety can move, shift, change, and clear on its own, and you don’t have to become a different person for that to happen.In this episode, I’ll also emphasize that I’m not dismissing what I’m feeling in moments of anxiety and neither should you. Rather, because anxiety isn’t caused by my circumstances, I don’t have to fix myself or my circumstances to feel okay.The Intelligence Inside — a 5-week course, May 26 – June 23.

| 5/11/26 | Perfectionism, People-Pleasing, and the Art of Letting Her Rest #015 | I’ve noticed I have a tendency to perform, defend my perspective, and over-explain in an effort to “get it right” and do no harm.I reflect in this episode on how this protective persona traces back to my childhood “good girl” identity—striving for perfection, avoiding being wrong, and seeking safety through approval—and how exhausting that management feels.I explore how explaining can be a way of not trusting myself or you, and how the realness lands more deeply than polished control.The Intelligence Inside — a 5-week course, May 26 – June 23.

| 5/4/26 | Nothing Personal. A Client Conversation with Amy #014 | Amy is someone I’ve worked with since 2019 through functional medicine for her diabetes and one-on-one coaching.Our work together has shifted her from self-criticism, stress, and worry about others’ judgments, to seeing thoughts as just thoughts, not verdicts, which has changed how she handles intense work pressure and deadlines.In this episode, we explore the inside-out nature of experience, living more in the moment, and the freedom that comes from loosening identification with roles, expectations, and even diagnoses.The Intelligence Inside — a 5-week course, May 26 – June 23.

| 4/27/26 | What If You Just Played With It? #013 | Why do dreams and creative ideas get deferred? I’m exploring this question today, using my own experience of waiting four and a half years to launch this podcast due to timing and perfectionism.I share how I impulsively joined a mastermind just to be around creative people, noticed imposter thoughts, and then unexpectedly received a clear book outline, which tempted me to turn it into an entrepreneurial project until I chose surrender, play, and openness instead.It’s time to identify deferred gifts, question the myth of “ready,” stop managing outcomes, and take the next step.Sign up for my newsletter: https://drkathleenperry.activehosted.com/f/7 | 29m 12s | ||||||
| 4/20/26 | The Mirror: How Seeing Yourself Dissolves Your Triggers #012 | In this episode of Identity Matters, I share a simple practice I call “the mirror,” which is an exercise for dissolving triggers by recognizing that what activates me in others reflects something in me.How do the differences between jealousy (fear of losing what I have) and envy (wanting what someone else has) play into this, and how can naming envy reduce shame?You’ll see that the “golden mirror” of envy is recognition without ownership, but the harder mirror of irritation and judgment is where finding even a tiny shared version in yourself softens reactivity and increases forgiveness.Sign up for my newsletter: https://drkathleenperry.activehosted.com/f/7 | 21m 19s | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | When "Not Good Enough" Runs the Show #011 | The “not good enough” identity (specifically, my “not good enough daughter” identity) quietly ran my life for a long time by constantly raising an internal bar higher and higher.Even though my mom never demanded sacrifice or guilted me, I pressured myself with rigid ideas of what a “good daughter” would do, which created guilt and resentment.In this episode, I explain how something shifted when I considered believing my mom’s repeated positive words and made a quiet one-week experiment to live as if I were already good enough.I reflect on how culture reinforces “not good enough” stories for caretakers and beyond, and I emphasize that loosening the identity isn’t about a formula or fixing ourselves, it’s about noticing, questioning, and becoming curious about who set the bar.Sign up for my newsletter: https://drkathleenperry.activehosted.com/f/7 | 15m 58s | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | The Love That Is You #010 | Today, I’m exploring the profound understanding of love as an eternal essence defining our true nature.Reflecting on the recent news of my cousin's death, I explain the concept that love is not just an emotion or transient feeling, but an intrinsic part of who we are. I emphasize the need to recognize that love is within us and not something to be sought externally.Join me on this heartfelt journey to acknowledging and embracing the pure, unconditional love that transcends physical presence and individual identities.Sign up for my newsletter: https://drkathleenperry.activehosted.com/f/7 | 15m 21s | ||||||
| 3/30/26 | Why It Feels So Bad When We Take Things Personally #009 | Today I want to revisit a conversation about why we take things so personally and the underlying feelings associated with it.I share insights from a past interaction with a successful engineer who felt personally attacked over feedback on his work proposal, despite knowing it was about the work and not him.From this story, I explore the concept of the “me” construct, the identity we build in our minds, and how being highly identified with this construct makes us vulnerable to taking things personally.Realizing that this identity is just a mental construct can be a wake-up call and a gift, allowing us to respond to situations more openly and authentically.Sign up for my newsletter: https://drkathleenperry.activehosted.com/f/7 | 17m 18s | ||||||

| 2/9/26 | Who Are You, Really? #001 | What if real change doesn’t come from fixing anything at all? What if transformation begins somewhere quieter, already intact beneath the noise? In this episode, I share why listening from that still place matters more than trying to understand every word, and why remembering feels more powerful than learning something new.I explore the idea that identity forms long before awareness enters the picture. How much of daily life is shaped by roles, expectations, and survival patterns?

What you’ll learn in this episode:Why intellectual understanding is unnecessary for recognizing deeper truth.How listening inward reveals a quiet place already whole and complete.The idea that growth involves remembering rather than learning something new.What existed before conditioning, roles, expectations, and learned behaviors formed.How striving, fixing, and self-improvement often fail to produce lasting change.What identity is not, including thoughts, past experiences, roles, and beliefs.An explanation of awareness as the constant beneath every experience.A personal story of loss revealing stillness untouched by circumstances.Why true nature remains unchanged by grief, emotion, or life events.The impact of misidentifying with personas on pressure, confusion, and reactivity.How recognizing presence softens self-criticism and emotional reactivity.The relationship between inner stillness, creativity, and renewed joy.A closing reminder of inherent wholeness, freedom, and unconditional love.
