  061 - What's the Rule?

  Aug 19, 202627 min

  Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us! What happens when the rules seem to apply differently depending on who you are or who benefits? In this episode, Debbie and Deborah wrestle with fairness, double standards, integrity, and the everyday question, “What’s the rule?” From politics to relationships to real-life choices, they explore what we can control, what we can’t, and how we decide what feels right when following the rules doesn’t always seem fair. Timestamps/Chapters 0:00 — We’re Doing Something a Little Different Debbie and Deborah invite Sheroes into the conversation and ask what kinds of conversations listeners want to hear. 1:10 — What’s the Rule? Why double standards and different rules for different people can be so frustrating. 3:10 — The Rules We Meet in Everyday Life Deborah takes the question beyond politics into marriage, work, community, and everyday interactions. 5:15 — What Can We Actually Control? The difference between rules in the larger world and the choices we can make in our own lives. 6:05 — Is It Fair—or Is It Personal Choice? Debbie and Deborah explore where personal values, fairness, social expectations, and actual rules intersect. 9:40 — Truth, Fear, and Double Standards What happens when people bend facts, use fear, or excuse behavior because it benefits their side? 12:35 — If They Lie, Does That Make It Okay for Me to Lie? Deborah shares her timeshare story and an attorney’s surprising advice. 15:15 — When Your Integrity Becomes the Rule Why someone else breaking the rules doesn’t necessarily change how you want to behave. 16:05 — Doing Everything “Right” and Still Getting Burned Debbie shares what happened when she carefully followed property rules—and paid thousands she apparently didn’t need to spend. 18:35 — Self-Care, Self-Love, and Your Core Values Deborah brings the conversation back to knowing what you can live with inside yourself. 20:00 — When Someone Who Lies Gets the Benefits Debbie shares a post-Katrina experience that challenged her feelings about fairness and following the rules. 23:35 — When Is It Time to Challenge the Rule? Not every rule is right. When do we decide to step forward and try to change one? 24:25 — Why We Need to Talk About This Together How talking about difficult questions can create connection and remind us that we’re not alone. 26:00 — What Do You Think, Sheroes? Debbie and Deborah leave the question open and invite listeners to continue the conversation. Thank you so much for the likes, love, and comments you leave.

  060 - Easy To Say, Not So Easy To Do

  Jul 23, 202632 min

  Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us! We've all heard the advice. Just let it go. Just trust yourself. Just do it. Just step into your glory. Easy to say. Not so easy to do. In this episode, we explore why these well-meaning phrases often leave us feeling frustrated instead of empowered. The problem isn't that the advice is wrong. It's that it skips over the skills needed to get there. We talk about why awareness is only the first step, how mindfulness helps us notice what's happening inside us, and why real change comes from learning what to do after we become aware. Along the way, we each share personal stories about choosing not to let someone else's perspective determine our future. If you've ever thought, "I know what I should do... so why can't I do it?" this conversation is for you. Because growth isn't about trying harder. It's about learning the skills that make lasting change possible. Thank you so much for the likes, love, and comments you leave. Not only does it mean the world to us, it helps other women who need to hear it be able to find it. #womenempoweringwomen #youmatter #makeadifference ---CONNECT with Shero Cafe--- Subscribe: www.SheroCafe.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shero.cafe.podcast/ Email: thesherocafe@gmail.com ---CONNECT with Deborah Edwards--- Let's Connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deborah.edwards.372 Self Care Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/624202641785785 Website: https://gratefulom.life/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahedwards-selfcarecoach/ ---CONNECT with Debbie Pearson--- Website: https://www.debbiepearson.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DebbiePearsonCoaching Substack: https://debbiepearsoncoaching.substack.com Email: deb@debbiepearson.com

  May 24, 20261h 5m

  057 - You’re Doing Everything Right… but Something Still Feels Off

  Apr 27, 202628 min

  Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us! You’re doing everything right. You’re showing up. Taking care of yourself. Keeping things moving in your work and your life. And still… something feels off. That feeling can be hard to explain. It doesn’t make sense on the surface. You’re doing what you’re “supposed” to do, so why doesn’t it feel better? In this episode, we gently look at what might be happening underneath. Because sometimes it’s not about doing more. It’s not about adding more self-care. It’s about noticing where your energy is quietly leaking. We talk about the difference between being depleted and being overextended. How you can be giving, doing, and holding a lot… without enough support or space to steady yourself. You’ll hear real-life examples of what this can look like: Saying yes when your body is saying no. Avoiding conversations that matter. Overthinking decisions after you’ve already made them. Trying to hold it all together for everyone else. These aren’t signs that something is wrong with you. They’re signals. Small moments where your body is asking you to notice, pause, and choose differently. We also explore the role of boundaries—not as something harsh, but as something steady. Something that helps you stay connected to yourself while still caring for others. This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about learning to listen in a new way. To notice what feels tight or heavy. To give yourself one small moment of choice. Because when something feels off, it usually means something deeper is asking for your attention. And that’s not a problem. It’s a place to begin. 0:00 Welcome And The “Something’s Off” Feeling 1:48 Self-Care Without Capacity Fails 3:59 The Oil Leak Analogy For Burnout 6:13 Real-World Signs Of Overextension 8:42 Saying No And Listening To Your Body 13:17 Self-Care Versus Self-Love Choices 15:27 When Giving Money Feels Like Peace 19:04 Restrictive Versus Expansive Energy Clues 23:39 Small Steps Plus Coaching And Community 26:45 You’re Not Weak For Needing Support Thank you so much for the likes, love, and comments you leave.

  055 - Emerging Truth: What I Can No Longer Pretend Not to Know

  Apr 2, 202634 min

  Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us! You know that quiet feeling… something isn’t right… even when everything looks fine on the outside? We sit with that. Not to fix it. Not to rush past it. But to name it. Because more often than not, you already know. You just haven’t let yourself fully say it. We talk about the places this shows up— relationships that look good but feel heavy, work that checks the boxes but drains your peace, and those moments where you keep saying yes… while something in you is saying no. And then there’s the body. The tight chest. The clenched jaw. The low hum of anxiety that never fully goes away. That’s not random. That’s your body holding the truth you haven’t spoken yet. We also talk about why this is so hard. Because it’s not just about knowing. It’s about what it might cost to admit it. Belonging. Comfort. Familiarity. Sometimes it feels easier to stay where you are… even when you know it’s not right. But there’s a cost to that too. You start to lose trust in yourself. You second guess. You override what you feel. So we slow it down. We talk about creating space—just enough to hear yourself again. And from there, making small, honest choices. Sometimes that looks like a boundary. Sometimes it’s a simple truth spoken out loud. Sometimes it’s just admitting… this doesn’t feel right anymore. Nothing dramatic - just honest. Because self-care isn’t always comfort. And self-love isn’t always soft. Sometimes it’s telling yourself the truth… and being willing to listen. #selftrust #selfawareness #emotionalgrowth #selfcare #selflove #innerwork #boundaries #personalgrowth #mindsetshift #emotionalintelligence #healing #authenticity Thank you so much for the likes, love, and comments you leave.
