The Infinite Capacity Podcast

Rosilia Gomez-Barranco was just 15 years old when she immigrated from the Dominican Republic to join her mom in the United States. As a smart, hardworking teenager, she had big dreams but few tangible resources to help her make them a reality. She took classes in biology and sometimes had only enough money after paying for basic expenses to buy an iced coffee - which became her food for the whole day! Yet, Rosilia leaned into her faith and courage. She found a way to build a life and career in Massachusetts, ultimately working her way through college and landing a steady job at a women's hospital in Boston. When she was 26, Rosilia met her now-husband, who already had two children. This launched the beginning of a whole new adventure for her - motherhood! Ultimately, she became a working mom of 4 who continues expanding her faith, education, and career while also caring for her own mother at home after a devastating health crisis.In this first episode of season 6 of the Infinite Capacity Podcast, Rosilia shares from her heart about the highs and lows of the journey, bonus motherhood and blended families, being part of the sandwich generation, navigating surprises and setbacks, and leaning on her faith and inner strength to get through the hardest times. Her heartwarming message of compassion and resilience will make you feel seen and bring real joy to your day!Do you know an interesting midlife woman with a cool story to share on this podcast?

"Could learning to feel again be the most radical act of self-care... what if we could learn to ride the waves of our difficult and painful emotions by moving through our feelings and not around them?What if you could live undaunted by stress or anxiety, take risks and make mistakes without fear of failure, and better tolerate the messiness, unpredictability, and adversity of life?"These are powerful questions from Dr. Jenn Rapkin, a licensed naturopathic physician and bodyworker who specializes in integrative mental health and mind-body medicine. She is also the author of the newly released book The Feeling Muscle.In today's episode, Infinite Capacity Podcast host Andrea Morton will explore the answers to these questions and much more with Dr. Rapkin... following her path from dancer to physician and bodyworker to Mom of two, while also learning to thrive as a 'frequent feeler' and raising kids with their own big feelings.Dr. Rapkin shares her hard-won personal experiences, patient stories, and clinical insights, questioning the widely held assumption that feeling is a cognitive or mental process, and proposing instead that feeling is the body's job. She defines 'felt emotion' and explains how learning how to sit with hard emotions can be life-changing in the best way.Dr. Rapkin shares the inspiration for her book, which provides simple mind-body and somatic exercises designed to be done at home, at your own pace.  In an age of constant distraction, we are quick to numb or avoid our feelings. The Feeling Muscle shares a step-by-step framework for emotional fitness. It is a relatable and compassionate manual for how to choose mindfulness over mindlessness and live a life filled with deeper feeling and more connection.To purchase a copy of The Feeling Muscle, click here. To learn more about Dr. Jenn Rapkin, click here. Do you know an interesting midlife woman with a cool story to share on this podcast?

Tracy Otsuka hosts the #1 ADHD podcast for women globally, giving her a unique lens to explain some important things to her audience. First: ADHD is one of the most common neurological conditions in the United States, yet up to 75% of American women and girls who have it go undiagnosed. In fact, many of the adult women who DO receive a diagnosis later in life only manage to discover their own neurodiversity when one of their own children is identified at school and goes through the diagnosis process.Next: ADHD manifests differently in women than in men (with qualities like inattention, rumination, and rejection sensitivity), so women with ADHD are often unrecognized or misunderstood; left to navigate alone in a world that doesn’t see or honor their unique talents and abilities. According to Tracy, these women may experience self-doubt: over-prepare, over-apologize, over-perform, or even monitor their own likability. They may also experience emotions deeply and immediately, and have strong reactions to perceived criticism… replaying conversations long after they are over.Tracy herself recognized her own ADHD traits during her son’s diagnosis process, and received her own ADHD diagnosis 8 months later. Since that time, she has devoted her career to coaching thousands of women, sharing important medical research, and creating an amazing resource for girls and women with ADHD - one of Amazon’s top 20 best non-fiction books of 2024, ADHD For Smart-Ass Women! She also hosts a top .1% podcast worldwide, similarly called “ADHD for Smart-Ass Women,” which receives over 150K downloads per month, is streamed in over 160 countries, and globally ranks in the top .1% of podcasts.Tracy celebrates the ‘too-muchness’ of ADHD women as a strength! In today’s podcast, she talks about the stories we tell ourselves, what it’s like to be a recovering perfectionist, and how to lean into the gifts of an unconventional brain. She also shares more about her ‘Your ADHD is A-OK!” program that helps women identify their strengths and harness their brilliance to live to their fullest potential.To learn more about Tracy, you can visit her website here, listen to her podcast here, or visit her on Instagram here. *This episode is co-branded with the Scattered & Spectacular podcast.Do you know an interesting midlife woman with a cool story to share on this podcast?

Did you know that 42% of all U.S. businesses are owned by women?  It's true - according to The Motley Fool every single day 1,817 new American businesses are started by women in this country.  Approximately 252 million women around the world are entrepreneurs.

Moms feel frustrated at times by the invisible emotional labor of motherhood; weighed down by a heaviness that comes with managing the emotions of other people in their family along with performing hundreds of tiny tasks and chores that keep the household running.This kind of repetitive, under-acknowledged labor can be as simple as noticing when the dishwasher needs emptying or remembering to buy your child's favorite kind of peanut butter because you saw the jar was nearly empty.It can be recognizing that your child is exhausted or had a hard day, and needs to talk about it on the drive home from school.It might look like breaking up an argument between two siblings and mediating between them; but then needing to manage your own emotions later in the evening because you're exhausted after dealing with their big emotions all day.In this week's podcast episode, host and certified life coach Andrea Morton digs into this important topic and then provides several concrete, actionable strategies to help parents lift & balance the weight of their emotional labor.Do you know an interesting midlife woman with a cool story to share on this podcast?

Podcast host and life coach Andrea Morton knows what it's like to have bad days as a Mom... not only is she a mom of 3 herself, but she also spends a big part of each week working with overwhelmed, stressed mamas in midlife to help them find real balance and healthier relationships.However, it's not always possible to talk things through with a life coach when YOUR real life is getting crazy - which, more often than not, tends to happen somewhere between Friday at 5pm and Monday morning... while everything is closed for the weekend!  (If you even HAVE a life coach to start with!!! Which everyone should!)That's why this week in the podcast, Andrea will walk listeners through a self-coaching process; explaining through a very personal example how you can begin coaching yourself through a crummy day or in a tough situation by:- exploring how to isolate the thoughts that are really bugging you or bumming you out- figuring out what meaning you are making from the way you are thinking  - helping you to see how to lighten your own load, so that you are no longer reacting from a place of pain- learning how to process your hardest feelingsWhen stress gets heavy, it's natural to yearn for easy comfort or a dopamine surge.  That's why eating ice cream and shopping are so popular with overwhelmed moms!! Those activities don't create lasting feelings of goodness, however.  At best, they are a temporary fix. The ideas shared in this episode can help you permanently stop buffering and avoiding... take back the reins during your own crazy days, and start coaching yourself toward balance and emotional health!Do you know an interesting midlife woman with a cool story to share on this podcast?

In her groundbreaking book "The Highly Sensitive Person", Psychotherapist Elaine N. Aron, PhD writes, "Most people walk into a room and perhaps notice the furniture, the people... (but) Highly Sensitive Persons can be instantly aware, whether they wish to be or not, of the mood, the friendships and enmities, the freshness or staleness of the air, the personality of the one who arranged the flowers."Oh boy, did she ever nail me. THIS IS ME.  And long before I knew the label 'highly sensitive person,' I knew that not only am I weirdly intuitive in social situations but that I also become emotionally flooded and overstimulated more easily than a lot of the people around me. As Aron shares, when people like me get overwhelmed we become 'distressed, clumsy and confused.'  I am super affected by other people's moods and emotions, and sometimes that has led to reactions I'm not proud of.Yet this same heightened intuition, sensitivity, emotion and empathy also served me well as a teacher, friend and daughter.It was only when I became a Wife and a Mom (surrounded by squabbling kiddos and other people's emotions 24/7) that I REALLY had to face living as a highly sensitive person and figure out once and for all how to better navigate my relationships and manage my own mind and emotions... for the health & well-being of my family.  That is how I found my way to life coaching and (later) the career of my dreams coaching overwhelmed, stressed out mamas like me!Today's super vulnerable podcast is the most personal, powerful thing I've ever shared live.  I hope you'll pass it along to all of the other sensitive, emotional mamas that you may know and love, so they can learn from my funny stories, true confessions and mistakes.(This episode was recorded LIVE in Austin, Texas at The Life Coach School - Mastermind 2022.)Do you know an interesting midlife woman with a cool story to share on this podcast?

A lot of women (including mothers) between the ages of 35 and 55 seek life coaching because they feel stuck in a life that they don't feel very connected to and don't particularly like.  They feel trapped but unsure of what is wrong or how to proceed forward in their life to find more happiness & more joy, fun or fulfillment.Part of thriving as a woman in midlife involves exploring the boxes that we're in... whether we've been placed there by society or our family, or we ourselves have put ourselves inside of them a long time ago.The box is a symbol but of course it can represent our work, our relationship, our family, our lifestyle, etc.  Today in the podcast we are going to explore many different kinds of boxes we sometimes find ourselves in - both the ones that we actively choose, and the ones that we would honestly never choose. We'll also talk about how to change our thinking about these boxes (if we want to) in order to deconstruct and recreate them in a way that brings us real joy and satisfaction!Do you know an interesting midlife woman with a cool story to share on this podcast?

Have you ever had a misunderstanding or disagreement about something that seemed clear to you but which another person viewed or understood totally differently? There is a complex interplay between the things we say... what we actually mean... the ways that other people hear what we say, and the meaning that they then create from our words.  This can have a powerful effect upon the way we engage with others (especially when it comes to people that we either don't like OR that we don't know very well).  It can also change the way that other people may perceive US and our intentions.In Episode 23 of The Infinite Capacity Podcast (first episode of SEASON TWO!)
