Toxic or Trendy?

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Claudia King, Kate King) — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 01:23:03 +0000

When is your relationship truly a problem, and what can you do to fix it or realize it's time to walk away? In this episode of Strong Enough, author and licensed professional therapist Kate King discusses all things toxic relationship: from when to know if your relationship really is toxic, or if you're simply using yet another "buzz word" to describe something that has room to heal. Kate and I also chat about family relationships, and why it's not just okay, but highly recommended, to set boundaries and create space in toxic familial relationships. Kate also shares about her new book, Mend or Move On. Relationships are meant to nourish us―but what happens when they cause harm instead? In Mend or Move On, Kate offers a bold, compassionate guide to breaking free from toxic dynamics and reclaiming a life rooted in self-respect and happiness.

So, if you've been feeling like some of your relationships are pushing past their expiration date, this episode can help you figure out if it's really time to move on or if there could be a chance to put things back together and rediscover a place of healthiness and happiness in your relationship.

Intimacy and Shame

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Leah Carey, Claudia King) — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +0000

When it comes to intimacy, have you ever felt like you aren't normal? Maybe you've experienced trauma, and that's left you with shame, embarrassment, and fear. Now, it feels easier to just go through the motions, forgetting about any enjoyment for yourself, because you don't think you're worth it, or you're too embarrassed to discuss the topic with your partner.

Leah Carey is a Relationship and Intimacy Coach who specializes in helping people release the fear and shame so they can reclaim their power when it comes to intimacy. Leah experienced abuse as a child and the devastation of losing her mother to cancer. She decided it was time to heal: learn that she was worthy and deserving of good things. She took quite the path to find healing, and now she helps other people release the barriers that prevent them from feeling whole when it comes to intimacy.

From her website, leahcarey.com:

Growing up, my father’s abuse taught me two things: 1) I was undesirable in every way, and 2) since I was never good enough, I was the problem.

It took me 42 years, a lot of heartache, and so much unpleasurable s*x to realize that being a “good girl” who doubted her worth wasn’t actually working. When my mother passed away from cancer, I was devastated. But she was also the final tether to the old story of myself as the “good girl.” With both my parents gone, I could finally find out who I am.

I got rid of everything but the essentials, threw all my possessions in the car, and drove away from the familiar life I had known. I planned to spend a year traveling the United States in search of adventure and the next place I wanted to live.

What I found was a s*xual awakening and healing I could have never known was coming. I sought out s*xy experiences I’d never allowed myself to have before, took classes on consent, boundaries, s*xual communication, and more.

I stared straight into the face of the beast and dared to ask: “Am I really broken? Is it true that I’m undesirable? Am I actually meant to go the rest of my life without pleasure or true companionship?”

The answer to every one of those questions came back loud and clear: NO.I no longer believe that “good girls” are quiet and docile and take care of everyone else’s needs before their own.
I learned how to embrace my true s*xual identity, and I can guide you to do the same.

Autism Education

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Christina Collura, Claudia King, Jenn Rishel) — Thu, 9 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Have you ever had what you thought was a fantastic idea, but you let fear and insecurity convince you it wasn't so fantastic? One day, Christina Collura decided to create what she thought was a simple educational toy for her autistic son. It was a huge hit, and she thought maybe she should let others have access to her new creation. But then, fear crept in and convinced her that no one else would find it as useful as she did. However, with the help of her trusted support system, she had the courage and confidence to build Creative Beginning, the company that now provides education toys that provide specialized educational approaches for children and adults all over the world.

Christina will share why educational empowerment for all and inclusivity are at the center of her mission, and she'll talk about her work to ensure all children have access to appropriate learning tools that will help them succeed. While Christina has a special place in her heart for helping those with autism, she has found her educational toys are benefitting children and adults of all ages and backgrounds!

Don't let fear and insecurity stop you in your tracks. Your dreams are within your reach!

From Christina's LinkedIn:

With over 20 years of dedicated experience in education, my journey as an Elementary School Teacher at the Toronto District School Board has been deeply enriched by my role as CEO and Founder of Creative Beginning. At the heart of my mission is the empowerment of every child through specialized educational approaches, leveraging my expertise in special education and kindergarten pedagogy. Our team at Creative Beginning, fortified by my recent certification as a Certified Autism Resource, is committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment that honors diverse learning needs. My entrepreneurial spirit and passion for nurturing young minds are at the core of my professional ethos, aligning seamlessly with the values and mission of both my ventures.

Finding the Will to Live

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Amy Thurman, Claudia King, Jenn Rishel) — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Have you ever felt like life has thrown so many curve balls your way, you just don't want to keep dodging them? Amy Thurman felt that way. She dealt with a broken neck, sheared brainstem and TBI for over ten years (that went undetected for over six months!). Amy was bedridden, a shell of her former self. It would have been so easy for Amy to give up; Instead she decided to turn her pain into purpose to prove that sometimes the most difficult journeys can bring you to the most beautiful destination.

Amy will share how she was able to push aside the victim mentality and find a space where she truly thrived. If you've felt that life is simply too tough to handle, Amy's got some advice for you.

From her website, getamyshelp.com:

For over a decade, Amy Thurman lived with a broken neck, a sheared brainstem, and a traumatic brain injury, undiagnosed for six months. That experience almost shattered her and caused her to end her life. Instead, it became a doorway. Not just to healing, but to something deeper: a calling she couldn’t ignore.

After spending nearly a year bedridden and battling hopelessness, Amy made a life-altering decision: To stop trying to become who she used to be, and start uncovering who she was always meant to be.

Through that journey of radical resilience, reinvention, and healing, she created the Polish the Mirror™ Framework, a transformational path designed to help others release fear, reconnect with their truth, and live with deep authenticity.

Today, Amy doesn’t just inspire people, she reintroduces them to themselves. She has a gift for helping others see through the noise, the roles, and the expectations, to reconnect with the version of themselves they’ve forgotten. She holds up a mirror, not to reflect who they’ve become, but to remind them of who they’ve always been.

Amy is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, educator, and visionary known for helping individuals, teams, and communities move from fear-based survival to authentic, purpose-driven living.

Through her groundbreaking frameworks, Polish the Mirror™ and the S.P.A.C.E. Method, Amy guides people back to themselves through the radical, healing power of Holding Space. First, she models it. Then, she teaches it. Because true transformation begins when you stop trying to fix yourself, and finally start meeting yourself with compassion, clarity, and presence.

Her work empowers people to uncover their worth, lead with confidence, and create meaningful, lasting impact, personally and professionally.

Known for her out-of-the-box thinking, heart-centered strategies, and mirror-like presence, Amy’s mission is both simple and powerful: To help people remember who they are, reclaim their voice, and lead lives of deep authenticity and joy.

The Truth About Delphi

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Áine Cain, Kevin Greenlee, Claudia King) — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +0000

If you're a devoted true crime fan, then you've heard about the Delphi case involving Abigail Williams and Liberty German. The case went unsolved for several years, and in 2024, Richard Allen was convicted of their brutal murders. While many journalists and podcasters covered the crime and the trial, no two individuals were more dedicated than Áine Cain and Kevin Greenlee of The Murder Sheet podcast. Áine and Kevin followed the Delphi case from the beginning, attended every day of the trial (which proved challenging on its own), and wrote the recently-released book, Shadow of the Bridge, providing the only definitive account of the entire investigation.

Áine and Kevin sat down to talk about the case as a whole, as well as why they were drawn to write a book, what surprised them the most during the trial, and who the real heroes of the case are. We also discuss vicarious trauma and how people can reduce the negative effects they may feel when learning about or discussing another person's trauma.

If you followed the Delphi case, love the The Murder Sheet, or want to learn more about vicarious trauma, don't miss this episode!

Is Shame Holding You Back?

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Dr. Carter Check, Claudia King, Jenn Rishel) — Thu, 4 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Shame...hopelessness...guilt...helplessness...when we experience these, it can turn our worlds upside down. We feel alone, sometimes afraid to ask for help or seek community. We isolate ourselves and fall deeper and deeper into a place that consumes us. Can you ever escape? Or will you become a statistic?

Dr. Carter Check believes that moral injury is a wound that we can't see, and it's one that can leave us feeling more alone than ever before, because we aren't able to grieve the loss that goes along with it. But we aren't alone, and there are ways that we can heal the trauma and rebuild the parts of ourselves that we feel we lost. In this pivotal episode, Dr. Carter talks about his work as a suicide prevention specialist - why he chose this path for himself and why he knows that we can save more people if we work together as a community and are willing to ask for a helping hand.

From his website, drcartercheck.com:

Moral injury is the unseen wound that takes lives in silence.
Dr. Carter Check has made it his mission to change that.
A former Army Cavalry Scout turned Healthcare Ethicist and Board-Certified Chaplain with a specialty competency in Suicide Prevention, Dr. Carter Check is a national voice in moral injury care, ethical leadership, and upstream suicide prevention. His work is both professional and personal, having walked his own journey through moral injury, he now works to ensure that others never have to walk it alone.
For nearly a decade, Carter has served on an integrated suicide prevention team within the Department of Veterans Affairs. He is a co-developer of one of the VA’s first structured group interventions for moral injury—REAL (Reclaiming Experiences and Loss)—which supports trauma recovery through companioning, grief integration, and meaning reconstruction. While REAL was co-developed within a VA context, Carter’s broader work builds on these foundations with his own original frameworks for healing, including CareFrontation, Translucent Chaplaincy, and HunTherapy.
A bestselling author, speaker, and researcher, Carter’s reach extends beyond clinical systems. His book Healing in the Wild introduced outdoor therapy as a tool for moral clarity and post-traumatic growth. He currently serves as Associate Professor of Moral Injury at Oral Roberts University and is completing a Ph.D. in Healthcare Ethics at Duquesne University. His academic focus centers on moral health: the alignment of identity, values, and responsibility in the wake of trauma.
Carter’s ethical leadership framework—Translucent Chaplaincy—equips leaders to embody moral clarity, relational ethics, and presence-based decision-making. His work supports Veterans, first responders, and healthcare professionals who face ethical pain, burnout, and spiritual exhaustion.
Beyond the classroom and clinic, Carter finds healing in wild places. As a PGA HOPE Ambassador, competitive 3D archer, and whitewater guide, he uses nature immersion, ritual, and story to help others reclaim purpose. His nonprofit, HunTherapy.org, supports outdoor healing for Veterans and first responders, including annual rafting pilgrimages on the Ocoee River—where rapids become metaphors for resilience, surrender, and strength.
“Every day, Veterans, first responders, and healthcare professionals silently carry wounds no one can see. My life’s work is to ensure they don’t have to carry them alone.”

Does Your Life Have Purpose?

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Angie Hawkins, Claudia King, Jenn Rishel) — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Do you ever feel like your life has no purpose? Have you ever been in such a deep, dark despair that made you feel like if you just disappeared, no one would even notice? Today's guest, Angie Hawkins, felt exactly this. She felt so disconnected from everyone and everything that she did the unthinkable. And then she realized, she had so much more to do in this world, and her purpose became crystal clear. In this episode, you'll hear what led Angie down a path she almost couldn't come back from and how she was able to do a complete reset on her life and start living the purpose she knows was meant to be.

From her website: Angie Hawkins is a passionate Inner Glow Coach and Author who transforms high-achieving, spiritual women from chasing love and approval to radiating fierce confidence so they can finally feel happy, free, and loved for who they are. Angie moved from Chicago to Hawaii solo to align her life with purpose and joy. Her adventurous spirit has led to some pretty incredible moments – from skydiving and bungee jumping to running 16 marathons. She’s even jumped out of a helicopter, Navy SEAL-style. In her free time, Angie loves to surf, dance, and practice fingernail art. But her true joy shines when she’s on stage speaking at local empowerment events about vulnerability, healing, and the themes in her memoir, Running in Slippers. Whether it’s through her writing, coaching, or storytelling, Angie’s mission stays the same: to help women stop dimming their light and start shining from the inside out.

Why Therapy Isn't Working

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Joan K. Peters, Claudia King) — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Have you ever wondered why it feels like therapy isn't working for you? Do you fear that you just can't be fixed? Today's guest, Joan Peters, felt exactly the same way. Instead of giving up, she decided to dig even deeper, and she tried something unconventional: psychoanalysis. The results she experienced were so impactful that Joan decided to write a book: Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis. In Untangling, Joan not only detailed her experience, she also dispelled scary myths about psychoanalysis.

From her website: Joan K. Peters was born in New York City and educated in Chicago (she holds a B.A. degree from the University of Chicago as well as a Ph.D. in comparative literature). She has published several books on the subject of women and work, and now teaches English at the California State University (Channel Islands). She lives in Ojai California with her husband (Peter Passell), her 13-year-old daughter Lily, her dog Frodo and six pet chickens.

Strong Enough is more than a podcast; It's a movement. We're here to empower women everywhere to truly believe that, when it comes to navigating the tough things in life, you are strong enough, and you are worth it.

Why You Can't Heal

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Dr. Nat Green, Claudia King) — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Dr. Natalie (Nat) Green is a trauma therapist, coach, podcast host, and author. She is known for her expertise in trauma healing and her personally-created and innovative Accelerated Breakthrough Strategies (ABS) Method®. Dr. Nat has authored books including "Key to Freedom: The 7-Step Model to Triumph Over Trauma" and "Break Your Trauma Cycle: The 7 Archetypes of Transformation". She is also the proud host of podcast "Growing Tall Poppies".

In this Strong Enough, Dr. Nat talks about her own trauma healing and the frustration she felt when she wasn't getting the results she expected. When most people would give up and just settle for a life less happy, Dr. Nat pushed forward and created her very own trauma-healing tools. Once she tested out her new system on herself and felt massive success, she decided to share her method with others.

Dr. Nat was shocked to find that her trauma went back even further than she imagined - all the way back to the womb! And while she knows it sounds a bit crazy, she healed those early wounds using her ABS Method. Dr. Nat wants you to know that if healing early trauma has been a struggle for you, there truly is hope! Don't give up on yourself until you are living the life you truly deserve.

Strong Enough talks about the challenges and celebrates the triumphs of people from all walks of life. You are strong enough, and you are worth it.

Brittni Cosgrove: Removing My Mask of Anxiety and Perfectionism

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Brittni Cosgrove, Claudia King) — Thu, 5 Jun 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Brittni Cosgrove has a story that sounds like a lot of us: Her whole life, she had been told how much potential she had, how ambitious she was, how she was going to do great things... and yet she found herself learning the brutal lesson of what happens with all that powerful energy when it doesn't know where to go. From the age of five, Brittni felt like she was wearing a mask in front of the world. Her anxiety and perfectionism took hold of her and made her feel like she could never be herself, even around those she was closest to.

Around 2020, Brittni knew that things needed to change. She invested in herself, did the hard work, and was not only able to reduce her anxiety to a manageable level, she was able to discover who she really was without the mask she'd been carrying all her life.

In this episode, Brittni opens up and shares about the mask she wore to face the world and how she was able to stand in her own courage, face her fears, and become the strong woman she is today. If you deal with anxiety, perfectionism, or feel like you're wearing a mask every time you walk out the door, then you need to hear Brittni's story.

Allan Misner: 40 Plus Fitness

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Allan Misner, Claudia King) — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Allan Misner experienced major life changes, and at the age of 47, he decided he wanted to change himself for the better. He became healthier and introduced a new level of fitness into his life. During this journey, he realized that the tools he needed to succeed at 40+ fitness simply didn't exist. Instead of letting that slow him down or stop him, he decided to create the tools he needed. Today, he uses those tools that brought him success to help others achieve fitness goals they never thought possible.

Allan is going to share why his fitness journey mattered, and why yours should matter, too. He's also going to talk about why fitness should be important to you at any age, but especially over the age of 40. And he's going to discuss why his method of success doesn't involve selling hours, but selling outcomes.

If you've ever struggled to find your fitness happy place, check out this episode with Allan!

Vivika Spinelli: Trauma Doesn't Define You

Episode 84 of Strong Enough Podcast brings Vivika Spinelli, a beautiful and vibrant woman who has experienced multiple traumas in her life.

She talks about how asking herself this one question has helped her make many important life decisions. She has instilled this mantra in her two sons as well and tells us why she believes many kids now are experiencing more trauma than previous generations, often of their own making. Vivika and I discuss politics (without getting political) and why we as a society need to be more open to hearing others' opinions and beliefs. If you've ever experienced trauma, struggle to stay positive, or fear being a little uncomfortable to reach your goals, Vivika has some great advice and will inspire you to move forward in your life today.

Michael Sugrue: Man Behind the Badge

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Michael Sugrue, Claudia King) — Thu, 2 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Episode 83 of Strong Enough Podcast brings Michael Sugrue, a retired Police Sergeant and veteran turned author and advocate. After experiencing several traumatic events as a police officer, Michael began to feel the weight of the post-traumatic stress taking over his life, leading him to be withdrawn, miserable, and even wishing he would die in the line of duty. Michael has since retired, authored a best-selling book about his life and experiences, and now works to increase awareness around the necessity of mental health wellness for first responders.

During this episode, Michael opens up about the struggles he went through dealing with the aftermath of multiple traumas he encountered as a first responder. Michael talks about the challenge of feeling alone and like no one understood or cared what he was going through. Michael's rock bottom and desire to get help came when he learned his best friend nearly committed suicide while on duty. Michael explains that a better term for PTSD is actually Post-Traumatic Stress Injury, recognizing that an injury (and not a disorder) has occurred and thus, can be healed and made better. Finally, Michael shares about his best-selling book, Relentless Courage: Winning the Battle Against Frontline Trauma and why it's a necessary read, not just for first responders, but for anyone who has experienced trauma and has hope to heal.

Donna Palomba: Jane Doe No More

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Donna Palomba, Claudia King) — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Episode 66 of Strong Enough Podcast brings Donna Palomba, survivor and founder of the nonprofit, Jane Doe No More. Donna's passion to empower survivors came about after a 1993 sexual assault and the aftermath that occurred when she reported the horrific crime to the Waterbury CT Police Department. Donna spent years waiting on the police to act, and only after a lawsuit against Waterbury PD and additional attempted crimes by her attacker was he caught for her rape. However, the Statute of Limitations had long since passed, and her perpetrator could only be charged with her kidnapping.

During this episode, Donna shares the trauma she experienced when the police investigating her assault didn't believe her and instead threatened to charge her for false reporting. She details the years-long journey she took to hold the police accountable and ensure that her attacker was finally caught and prevented from harming any other women. Donna's compelling and inspiring story of survival following a home invasion, sexual assault and the revictimization by those who were supposed to protect her has been the feature of two Dateline episodes. She continues her work empowering survivors of sexual crimes to find their voice, advance their healing and go on to educate others. Jane Doe No More's Duty Trumps Doubt program helps first responders understand more about the trauma victims of sexual crimes experience and how to respond appropriately to minimize revictimization.

Episode Thirty-seven of Strong Enough Podcast brings Dr. Jason Piccolo, a veteran, LEO, author, podcast host, TV expert guest, and advocate for those who spend their lives with the often thankless title of “protector.”

Jason shares the toll these actions took on himself and those close to him.

Episode Thirty-three of Strong Enough Podcast brings Dr. Robb Kelly, founder of Robb Kelly Recovery Group, the premiere recovery coaching program that boasts a 97% success rate.

During this episode, Dr. Robb shares how a childhood filled with abandonment and trauma led him to his first drink at the age of 9. Dr. Robb became a successful musician, working at the famed Abbey Roads Studio as a teenager. However, his alcoholism controlled his life, leading to a failed marriage, estrangement from his children, and ultimately, homelessness. Dr. Robb then realized it was time to heal his life, and he then began helping others do the same. Dr. Robb has appeared on The Doctors and on multiple podcasts, sharing his story and giving others hope that they, too, can recover and live a healthy, fulfilling life.

Episode 1: From Victim to Survivor

strongenoughpod@gmail.com (Claudia King) — Thu, 6 May 2021 14:00:00 +0000

For the premiere episode of Strong Enough Podcast, I share (for the first time ever) details of being a police officer living in a domestic violence relationship. I open up about the anger and frustration I felt when dealing with domestic abuse victims, feelings that were really directed at myself for my own situation. I talk about some of the many forms of domestic abuse, which include not just physical violence, but also isolation, financial control, and emotional/ psychological abuse.

During this episode, I cover my journey from victim to survivor, how this podcast came to be, and what you can expect each week.
