  • The Help You Give by Asking
    2025/04/09
    Stress Therapy Episode 9The Help You Give by Asking3/20/25In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, Cheri Flake explores the often-overlooked power of asking for help. Through her own life experiences—especially during her husband's cancer battle—she reveals how seeking support not only uplifts the person in need but also benefits the helper. Blending psychology, spirituality, and humor, she breaks down the stigma around asking for help and encourages listeners to embrace their human need for connection and support.Asking for Help is HealingIt's not a weakness—it’s an act of strength that allows others to feel useful and connected, while giving you the support you need.Help Can Be Spiritual or PracticalWhether calling on a neighbor or St. Anthony, Cheri emphasizes that your help doesn't have to be human. It can be divine, energetic, or community-based.Giving is a Stress BusterHelping others is scientifically shown to reduce stress—so when you ask for help, you're actually doing someone else a favor, too.~Meditation Music byhttp://sonicyogi.comhttps://open.spotify.com/track/7lpLx4vtoQusvoqidRY6vN?si=0db8efd9082c40ebhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0Qotx90teY3iZ00PgUCwty?si=44a1c18c52e24e1fListen to Sonic Yogi on: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2xJT8mRbrqa7rTY6d4y5Fq?si=q2YYpPSzQOmu4R8-W4jkpw https://music.apple.com/us/artist/sonic-yogi/722350162https://amazon.com/music/player/artists/B00FQMVVIC/sonic-yogi?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_Y5q68A8LSQQGzl01PQC7Uaw6chttps://amazon.com/music/player/artists/B00FQMVVIC/sonic-yogi?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_Y5q68A8LSQQGzl01PQC7Uaw6chttps://youtu.be/p2jtMEkdh6g?si=rVq-Q8o85mI75S4_INTERESTING MENTIONS:Esther Hicks & Abraham – For woo-curious listeners, Cheri discusses their “placemat exercise” for co-creating with the universe.Saint Shoutouts – St. Anthony (lost things), St. Christopher (travel), St. Joseph (home-selling), and Mother Mary all get love as go-to helpers.Mother Teresa’s Take – Asking for help should be enough reason to offer support—no justifications needed.Anne Lamott’s Book – Help, Thanks, Wow is quoted as a spiritual trifecta for approaching the divine.The Love Tuner – A calming whistle that helps induce meditation; Cheri offers a promo code for it (just “Cheri” for 5% off).Funny Business Fail – Cheri once tried rebranding for moms (complete with “yourearockstarmom.com”) and learned the hard way that moms don’t always want to admit they need help.Cheri’s Aura – It’s golden yellow!

  • Your Authentic Self: The Only Way to Win at Life
    2025/03/26
    In this heartfelt and humor-filled episode, The Stress Therapist dives deep into the concept of living as your authentic self. Through personal stories, client examples, and some unexpected Bachelor commentary, she explores what it really means to be yourself, why it matters for your happiness and connection with others, and how being fake can actually block you from true love and belonging. The episode closes with a meditation on the sacred sound Om, guiding listeners into stillness and self-acceptance.~Authenticity is magnetic. When you show up as your real self—quirks, passions, weirdness and all—you attract the right people and create true connection.~Faking it is exhausting and unsustainable. Pretending to be someone you’re not might win temporary approval, but it never leads to lasting love or fulfillment.~Your gifts are part of your karmic path. Embracing your interests and natural tendencies is not only freeing but also aligned with your purpose.~Meditation Music byhttp://sonicyogi.comhttps://open.spotify.com/track/7lpLx4vtoQusvoqidRY6vN?si=0db8efd9082c40ebhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0Qotx90teY3iZ00PgUCwty?si=44a1c18c52e24e1fListen to Sonic Yogi on: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2xJT8mRbrqa7rTY6d4y5Fq?si=q2YYpPSzQOmu4R8-W4jkpw https://music.apple.com/us/artist/sonic-yogi/722350162https://amazon.com/music/player/artists/B00FQMVVIC/sonic-yogi?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_Y5q68A8LSQQGzl01PQC7Uaw6chttps://youtu.be/p2jtMEkdh6g?si=rVq-Q8o85mI75S4_INTERESTING MENTIONS:Shout-out to Jackie (her sister-in-law) for the Bachelor franchise t-shirt and for taking her to a Bachelor Live event.The Bachelor (current season with Grant) – used to explore themes of love, hope, and being chosen.Client story about pretending to like fishing to connect—a metaphor for the struggle with authenticity.Jen the Animal Lover – a sweet story of someone unapologetically themselves (catios, pet mouse surgery, pool ladders for critters!).Violet (her daughter) – praised for her early wisdom in not forcing friendships and understanding mutual dislike doesn’t need to be dramatic.https://www.heartwood-retreats.com : location for Cheri’s Georgia Mountain Retreatshttps://www.jekyllisland.com: Location for Cheri’s seaside retreatThe Host for this podcast: Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW The Stress Therapist and AuthorJoin Cheri Flake on her Next Meditation And Yoga Retreat!https://thestresstherapist.com/retreats/or https://thestresstherapist.com/beach-retreats/Love the show?

  • The Paradox of Purpose: Why Nothing Matters And Everything Does
    2025/03/12
    The episode explores the paradox of meaning—how nothing ultimately matters in the grand scheme, yet everything matters on a personal level. The host encourages listeners to embrace life by focusing on what truly brings them joy, rather than external expectations. Through anecdotes, personal reflection, and meditation, the episode urges self-discovery, authenticity, and living life for oneself rather than for validation from others.~Your Life’s Meaning Comes from Within – The things that truly matter are the ones that resonate with you personally, not what society dictates as important.~Quiet Reflection Reveals True Desires – Taking time to reflect through meditation or deep thought helps uncover who you are and what truly brings you joy.~Stop Seeking External Validation – Life is short, and worrying about how others perceive you is unproductive; instead, focus on doing what makes you genuinely happy.~Meditation Music byhttp://sonicyogi.comhttps://open.spotify.com/track/7lpLx4vtoQusvoqidRY6vN?si=0db8efd9082c40ebhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0Qotx90teY3iZ00PgUCwty?si=44a1c18c52e24e1fListen to Sonic Yogi on: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2xJT8mRbrqa7rTY6d4y5Fq?si=q2YYpPSzQOmu4R8-W4jkpw https://music.apple.com/us/artist/sonic-yogi/722350162https://amazon.com/music/player/artists/B00FQMVVIC/sonic-yogi?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_Y5q68A8LSQQGzl01PQC7Uaw6chttps://youtu.be/p2jtMEkdh6g?si=rVq-Q8o85mI75S4_INTERESTING MENTIONS:https://open.spotify.com/artist/1McMsnEElThX1knmY4oliGhttps://www.amazon.com/Four-Thousand-Weeks-Management-Mortals/dp/0374159122Chopinhttps://www.heartwood-retreats.com : location for Cheri’s Georgia Mountain Retreatshttps://www.jekyllisland.com: Location for Cheri’s seaside retreatThe Host for this podcast: Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW The Stress Therapist and AuthorJoin Cheri Flake on her Next Meditation And Yoga Retreat!https://thestresstherapist.com/retreats/or https://thestresstherapist.com/beach-retreats/Love the show?

  • Beyond the Mirror: Working on the Inside
    2025/02/26
    In this episode, the Stress Therapist explores the importance of focusing on our inner well-being as much as our outer appearance.
