Season 3, Episode 4: Grounded at British Airways
Toxic workplaces are a common topic of discussion everywhere we look these days. This recent story about a pilot being grounded because of angry outbursts is a prime example. As you'll hear in my unpacking of the story, I don't believe the toxicity begins and ends with the pilot. There is a misunderstanding of anger and its expression that extends from the top brass all the way to the flight crew, that implies anger is a mental health issue that will somehow interfere with a pilot's ability to keep his crew and passengers safe.
Join me as I wade through these murky waters of balancing HR practice, employer ethics, and strategies to prevent liability on a grand scale with humane and compassionate support for a long-time employee who is going through a difficult and challenging season.

As a survivor herself of human trafficking, coupled with her years of experience in the field, Krystal has led a variety of community development responses to identify, support and build systemic capacity to reduce barriers to accessing services.

Season 3, Episode 3: Anxiety, Burnout, and the Power of No
Last fall, right around my 35th wedding anniversary and my birthday, I experienced the most intense case of physical and psychological burnout I've ever had. The year previous had been a wild ride. I had lost one of my best friends to cancer. I had been traveling every weekend to volunteer my time and energy for a worthy cause. My dad got sick. Work was challenging. I thought I was coping until I wasn't. My brain and my body said, "Enough", and I was done.
This episode shares my experience of recognizing and immediately addressing not just the SYMPTOMS of burnout, but the CAUSES. Doing so ensures a quick recovery so you can get back to doing what's important.
Burnout is no joke. Take care of yourself! There is only one you, and no one but you can fulfill your purpose. I hope this episode is helpful and informative.
If you're looking for support to cope with psychological burnout and you want some life coaching or counselling (only in the province of Ontario), please reach out to Spa for the Soul.

Season Three, Episode 1: Anger Leaves Clues
Over the past several months, as I've been promoting my new book, The Rise of Rage (coming Feb. 13, 2024), I've been getting lots of questions about anger. The most common question is, "How do we know someone is getting angry? What are the most common signs of anger?"
This is the topic of discussion for this first episode of season three. I'm going to take a deep dive with you into the world of emotional mastery, starting with the most commonly misunderstood and miscommunicated emotion - ANGER.
Listen carefully, and get your notepad out! Here's what to listen for:
- Is it more important to know the signs of anger, or the reasons anger shows up?
- the four reasons anger emerges
- anger shows up in different ways
- what our real focus should be when we feel angry

Season Two Episode Nine: Forgive for Freedom
Have you ever been hurt? Experienced emotional trauma at the hands of someone you loved, trusted, thought had your best interest in mind? Ever been betrayed? Had your boundaries violated or your rules broken?
Straight facts, we all know what it's like to be hurt in one way or another. For some it's a minor thing, for others, it is life-altering and soul shattering.
This episode is all about forgiveness and it's role in healing from hurts. The stories I share are straight from my memory (which is not so great, y'all), so I may get some of the finer details wrong, but the theme is consistent and on point. Forgiveness is for YOU.
If you want to know more about how you can apply the concepts of forgiveness and acceptance to your personal story, visit my online store and check out my books that address this topic:
1. Anger Solutions: Proven Strategies for Effectively Resolving Anger and Taking Control of Your Emotions

In the wake of the Buffalo shooting on May 14, 2022 comes a timely episode about systemic racism in our schools and social services, and how we can be the change we want to see. Black lives matter.

Season Two, Episode Four: "The Slap" Through the Anger Solutions Lens
In this episode, we set aside our regular programming format of engaging conversations with our guests to discuss the main subject of the week, "the slap heard around the world". What happened at the Oscars was shocking to many, but it provides us with an opportunity to examine our own reactions and to learn from Will Smith's very public error in judgement. The Anger Solutions approach provides us with a decision-making strategy that enables us to look past our angry reactions, and choose carefully what action we will take to generate the best possible long-term outcomes.
I help mental health agencies and therapists deliver life changing anger programming that enables agencies to stay funded, helps therapists to stay passionate about group work, and creates radical, positive, lasting change in their clients.

Episode Nine: When Life Doesn't Go As Planned
When you live your entire life pursuing the purpose you believe God has set out for you, and it all comes crashing down, what do you do? How do you cope? As the old poem says, "when doubts are high and faith is low", how do you get through the valley of shadow? That is the crux of my conversation with Tera Bradham De Neui, author of "Swimming for Freedom". Once on track to qualify for the Olympics as a competitive swimmer, Tera's dreams were crushed by a debilitatingly painful shoulder injury. How she bounced back from the brink of despair is in itself and inspiring tale, but the wonder of the journey is how God showed her (and continues to show her) His plan for her purpose. The holiday season and beyond is "the season to be jolly", but when your body is broken and your heart is torn, and you feel like there is no hope left for you, when all you can feel is the pain and there seems to be no end in sight... it's pretty hard to be jolly. This episode is for you, my friends who may be going through the darkest time of your life. Tera is here to remind you there is hope, there is a way to live your purpose even in chronic pain or with a chronic condition.

Episode Six - What Ball and Chain? with Devon and Danah Artis
Episode six airs on my 33rd wedding anniversary, so I thought it appropriate to bring on my guests who are marriage/relationship experts. Danah and Devon Artis are couples coaches doing exemplary work to help couples enrich and strengthen their relationships. Here's a snippet from their website: www.legacyimpactcoaching.com.
FACT: Relationships are hard.
And according to a survey reported in The Huffington Post, communicating while in a relationship is even more challenging. A poll of 100 mental health professionals revealed that communication problems are the leading cause of divorce (65%). Another 43% of respondents listed couples’ inability to resolve conflict as a top cause of divorce.
The survey also revealed that 70% of the surveyed experts said that men see “nagging” and complaining as the leading problem in their relationships. Women’s top complaint was that their partners don’t validate their feelings or opinions enough. So, who’s right or wrong, and what does this have to do with your loving marriage or premarital relationship? First off, everybody’s right. And if you’re not careful, these problems could wiggle into your relationship and wreak havoc on what you imagined would be a life-long union.
Our candid conversation covers all sorts of aspects about relationships, and I'll even share some secrets to how Steve and I have made it successfully to 33 years. At the end of the episode, Devon and Danah have a special offer - follow them on social media @legacyimpactcoaching and let them know you heard about them through this show. They will give you a complimentary session as a "thanks"! Also, if you reach out to me and let me know you have followed this wonderful couple, I'll send you a little something to say "thanks" as well! Find me @julz_christiansen on Instagram.
Enjoy the show!
Episode Five: Step into Abundance with Diana Myrie
What are some of the challenges that BIPOC people face when striving for financial freedom? What are the pitfalls, and how can we overcome them? What are some of the first steps to take when seeking to effectively manage and grow financial abundance? Our guest, Diana Myrie will share her depth of knowledge and insight into how people of colour can get ahead financially. You can find Diana online at www.dianamyrie.ca. Her instagram account is @dianamyrie. You'll find her book, Overcome Lack: Step Into Abundance at Amazon, or you can order an author copy through Diana's website.

Listen carefully, and you may just want to have a pen and paper to jot some notes. Jeremy shares the keys to taking living your authentic life: choices and courage. He reminds you that it's okay to take risks, try the things, to make mistakes, and to be objective (and less fear-based) in your conscious decisions about how to live your life. You can learn more about Jeremy by visiting his website: www.longdistancelovebombs.com.
Episode Two: Get the Hell Out of Debt with Erin Skye Kelly
How does someone working in the world of finance get herself into just over $2 Million in debt? Better still, how does she dig herself out? Best-selling author and coach, Erin Skye Kelly takes some time out of her busy schedule to chat about all things debt freedom. Erin is a brilliant, compassionate, loving, and hilarious human, and I'm so privileged to know her. We had such fun discussing the various challenges that come with being in debt.
