Advice My Friends Ignored

Why you can’t stop comparing yourself to others (and what to do instead)

Audrey Brothers — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 10:30:00 GMT

In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey dives into why comparison isn’t something you can just “stop doing.”

She explores the primal reasons your brain is wired for it and how it constantly scans, ranks, and tries to figure out where you stand in society, all to keep you safe and chosen.

But what most people don’t realize is… every time you get pulled into comparison, there’s a cost.

And the cost is you.

In this episode, she breaks down why comparison happens, what it’s actually protecting you from, and why trying to “think your way out of it” usually keeps you stuck.

Audrey talks about how to step out of the loop, by sharing personal stories, advice she gives clients, and real-time shifts you can make in the moment when you notice that voice of comparison to help you come back to yourself and your own happiness.

The power of being alone (and actually enjoying it)

Audrey Brothers — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey talks about the fear of being alone and why it’s not actually about being alone at all.

For many of us, alone time doesn’t just feel like solitude… it feels like rejection, loneliness, or even judgment. And because of that, we avoid it, not realizing how much it disconnects us from ourselves and our external relationships.

Audrey shares her own experiences with solo travel, spending intentional time alone, and how creating space from others (even in her current relationship) can actually deepen connection, and build confidence, safety, and self-trust.

This episode is about learning how to feel safe in your own presence and realizing that you might actually really like yourself and your own company.

Why you can’t let go (even when you know you should)

Audrey Brothers — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 11:30:00 GMT

In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey talks about something we don’t hear enough when it comes to letting go...

It’s not just emotional… It’s somatic.

Your nervous system is wired to choose what feels safe and familiar, even if it’s no longer good for you. And that’s why letting go can feel so hard. It's not because you don’t know what to do, but because your body doesn’t feel safe doing it.

Audrey shares her experience of leaving an 8-year relationship, and what that actually looked like for her — the fear, the attachment, the time it took, and the ways her system clung to something that no longer aligned because it felt like safety.

She also talks about the nuance of relationships — how sometimes it’s not about leaving, but about looking at yourself and the ways you might be abandoning yourself within the connection. She shares a story about a friend who thought she needed to leave, but instead chose to show up differently, and how that changed everything.

And beyond relationships, this conversation extends into the habits and patterns we hold onto every day, like the ways we avoid, distract, or numb, not because we want to stay stuck, but because it’s familiar.

This episode is a reminder that letting go takes time, self-awareness, and most importantly, safety.

You are not your emotions: how to stop drowning in what you feel

Audrey Brothers — Wed, 14 May 2025 14:55:10 GMT

In this episode, I share the truth about emotions most people were never taught. I’ll walk you through what I learned about emotional regulation, how to stop identifying as your emotions, and why so many of us stay stuck in cycles of resistance. You'll learn the 90-second rule of emotional processing, how your ego keeps you attached to suffering, and how to let your emotions move through you instead of run you.

This is the episode for anyone who's tired of numbing, avoiding, or over-intellectualizing their feelings and is finally ready to come back home to themselves.

Relationships as Mirrors: How to Improve Your Connections

Audrey Brothers — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 15:40:12 GMT

Today I will dive into how the relationships we have in our external world are a mirror of our internal world. Every relationship we experience is a learning experience. Any encounter that we have can make us discover things about ourselves - things we may already know and things we may not have uncovered yet. Whether in our romantic relationships, with family, with our friends, casual relationships, professional relationships, and even strangers. Any kind of relationship can have an impact on us and be used as an opportunity to grow, learn, and evolve into the best version of ourselves.

Aggressive patience, right person, wrong time, and honest communication

Audrey Brothers — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 13:50:41 GMT

Today on the SAME podcast, Audrey and Sarah dive deep into numerous topics pertaining to improving the relationship you have with yourself and the relationships you have with others. They discuss how healing is a process, not a destination, and it requires you to show up as the person you want to be daily to bridge the gap between who you are now and who you want to be. They also discuss the commonly used idea in relationships, "right person, wrong time," and how attachment styles play a role in this mindset. Lastly, they discuss how vital it is to use your voice and express your truth so that you can live in alignment with your most authentic self and foster the most meaningful connections.

Why talk therapy isn’t enough (and what actually heals you)

Audrey Brothers — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 09:15:00 GMT

If you’ve done the journaling, the therapy, the podcasts—and still feel stuck in anxiety, burnout, or dysregulation—this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, Audrey dives into why you can’t think your way out of a dysregulated nervous system, and why talk therapy (while helpful) doesn’t always lead to deep, embodied healing.

You'll learn:

The role of the vagus nerve and what it means for your healing
Why your nervous system needs to feel safe before you can fully change
How somatic tools work differently than mindset work

How to begin reconnecting to your body, not just your thoughts

This episode is a permission slip to stop blaming yourself for not “thinking differently”—and start working with your body, not against it.

Chakra Series: The Solar Plexus Chakra

Audrey Brothers — Sat, 07 Jan 2023 17:43:27 GMT

Today, I will share insights on the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra, sharing what emotional, physical, and mental areas it governs, what an imbalance might manifest as, and the best healing methods for this chakra. The chakras are focal points of energy within the body that play a major role in our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. The solar plexus governs our feelings of self-esteem, self-worth, confidence, shame, vitality, willpower, courage, and it governs our ego and sense of personal identity. It is the chakra that is our personal powerhouse that helps us go after our goals and dreams with a healthy sense of confidence and authentic sense of self.

Letting Go of The Self Part 1

Audrey Brothers — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 17:49:40 GMT

Today, I will dive into one of my absolute favorite topics to speak upon - how life is not about finding the self, it is about LETTING GO of the self. This episode will kick off a mini series within the podcast on how to let go of the personal self and step back into your true self, which is pure awareness. In this episode, I will dive into who YOU truly are, how your psyche (personal self) was created, and how your personal self impacts you in every single moment of your life.

In future episodes of this mini series, I'll explore the how thoughts, emotions, and the external world play a role in your personal self, and ultimately how you can let go of identifying as these things and instead learn to detach yourself from these external things and learn to objectively experience the moments of life that unfold around you.

The mind–body feedback loop: How your brain & nervous system rewire

Audrey Brothers — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 11:00:00 GMT

You can’t "affirm" or "talk" your way out of a dysregulated nervous system.

And you can’t somatic-breathe your way out of deeply wired subconscious beliefs.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the 5 key brain systems involved in the subconscious mind — the ones responsible for your triggers, emotional memory, perception, and survival responses.

We’ll explore:

Why your body reacts before your conscious mind catches up
How the nervous system and subconscious mind reinforce each other
Why “knowing better” doesn’t mean you’ll do better
And what it actually takes to rewire both systems for lasting change

If you’ve been doing mindset work but still feel hijacked in relationships…
Or regulating your body but still stuck in old identity loops…

This will connect the dots.

Real change happens when the mind and body feel safe together.

Let's work together 1:1.

The Lie of Perfectionism

Audrey Brothers — Fri, 14 Apr 2023 19:53:51 GMT

Today, I will dive into the truth about perfectionism and how it is a complete lie. There is no such thing as perfect yet we all still catch ourselves striving for perfection in some area of our lives. The truth is that perfectionism is simply a mask that we put over our insecurities. We use the excuse that we need things to be "perfect" before we share them with the world, but in reality this need is just a mask for our fears of being judged, rejected, criticized, or the fear of not feeling good enough. But you are good enough exactly as you are and it's time for you to stop letting perfectionism prevent you from putting yourself out there and playing the game of life!

An Inspiring Story on the Power of Gratitude

Audrey Brothers — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 12:46:19 GMT

Today, I will share a deeply inspiring and moving conversation I had with someone who experienced a series of traumatic and challenging events within his life that left him ungrateful, broken, and lost, but he found his way back to true, lasting happiness through the power of gratitude.

The more time you can spend in gratitude and love, the more your body's frequency raises and the healthier your mind and body becomes. I encourage you to listen to the story that I share in today's episode because it is a story that carries tremendous weight as it is a beautiful perspective shift.

A pep talk on the power of choice

Audrey Brothers — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 15:34:03 GMT

Today on the SAME podcast, Audrey dives into how there comes a point where you have to stop waiting for change and start choosing to change, simply starting with 1% each and every day. By choosing to try to be 1% better every day, you will slowly lean into more discomfort each day, therefore slowly showing your nervous system safety through small increments and slowly changing the overall state of your nervous system. She dives into the power of choice and how you are always in the driver's seat of your life - no one else - only you. She reminds you to take advantage of the time you have on this planet, take control of the choices you make, and make the choice to continuously be 1% better in each moment.

Change Your Focus to Change Your Life

Audrey Brothers — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 15:32:38 GMT

Today, I will dive into exploring how where we place our focus in life has a direct impact on how we feel and how we think, which therefore impacts what we call into our life. In this episode, I'll dive into the Law of Attraction and how you can use it to clean up your personal energetic vibration so that you can call in more of the experiences of life that you want, not experiences you don't want.

Remember, energy flows where attention goes, so if you don't want to continue attracting more of the same - change your focus so you can change your point of attraction.

The Chakra Series: The Heart Chakra

Audrey Brothers — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 18:28:38 GMT

Today, I will share all the essential advice on the heart chakra. Chakras are energy centers within that body that contribute to our well-being, so it's important that we not only learn about our spiritual health, but also take care of our spiritual health just as we do for our physical, mental, and emotional health. The heart chakra governs our feelings of love, acceptance, peace, forgiveness, envy, resentment, grief, and compassion and it acts as a bridge to connect the three lower, earthly chakras and the three higher, more spiritual chakras. In this episode, I'll dive into what signs of imbalance in this chakra might look like and discuss the most practical ways to bring this chakra back into alignment. This episode is a great one to listen to if you need a reminder on self-love<3

Navigating and Regulating Your Nervous System

Audrey Brothers — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 10:15:05 GMT

Today, I will dive into how to regulate the nervous system by sharing my favorite (and most practical) ways to maintain a healthy nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is comprised of the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is a network of nerves that helps your body activate its "fight or flight" response during stressful situations whereas the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for activating the "rest and digest" response to help calm the sympathetic nervous system. However, when the nervous system is dysregulated, it can lead us to operate full-time in fight or flight mode where we are putting our body in a high-alert, stressed out state of being, which can lead to a whole slew of additional health issues. So join me in today's episode as I dive into discussing how to navigate and regulate a healthy nervous system.

How to repair after conflict in relationships

Audrey Brothers — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey dives into how arguments don’t destroy relationships. Unrepaired ruptures do.

In this episode, she talks about what it actually takes to repair after conflict through the three pillars of repair:

Regulation: calming the nervous system so we can respond instead of react
Communication: expressing truth while still holding space for the other person
Responsibility: owning our impact and rebuilding trust through accountability

Because real intimacy isn’t about avoiding conflict; it’s about learning how to come back together afterward.

The art of detachment: stop arguing with reality

Audrey Brothers — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 13:00:00 GMT

In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey talks about one of the hardest but most freeing shifts we can make: learning to stop arguing with the moment in front of us.

So much of our suffering doesn’t come from what’s happening — it comes from our resistance to it. We replay conversations, fight reality in our heads, wish things were different, and try to control outcomes that are already unfolding.

But peace doesn’t come from winning the argument with life. It comes from surrendering to it.

In this episode we explore:

Why resisting reality keeps the nervous system stuck in survival
The difference between surrender and giving up
Why letting go actually creates more clarity and power
How detachment allows life to move again

This conversation is about releasing the need to control every moment and learning how to meet life as it is.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is stop fighting the moment.

Understanding the science behind why you're stuck in the same thought loops

Audrey Brothers — Tue, 27 May 2025 20:47:21 GMT

In today's episode, Audrey explores the Default Mode Network (DMN)—the part of the brain responsible for self-focused thinking and mental time-travel. She unpacks how trauma can wire the DMN to loop on fear, shame, guilt, and "what ifs," keeping you stuck in old stories. You'll learn how to shift from rigid thought patterns into embodied presence using nervous system tools that help you move from mind to body, from story to sensation, and from survival into self-trust.

Which psychedelic is right for you? Psilocybin vs LSD vs San Pedro

Audrey Brothers — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey breaks down the differences between microdosing three powerful psychedelic medicines: psilocybin (magic mushrooms), LSD, and San Pedro.

Although they’re often grouped together, each of these medicines has a VERY different energetic feel, effect on the nervous system, and purpose when it comes to healing and personal growth.

She talks about:
• How psilocybin, LSD, and San Pedro differ in their emotional and mental effects when microdosing / macrodosing
• What each experience tends to feel like in the body and mind
• Which medicine people often gravitate toward for introspection, creativity, or heart-opening work
• Her personal experiences working with these medicines
• Important things to consider before working with psychedelics

This episode is about education, intention, and helping you understand these tools more deeply so you can approach them with awareness and respect.

Exploring the Use of Psilocybin for Healing

Audrey Brothers — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 20:16:05 GMT

Understand the language of your nervous system and your body's signals

Audrey Brothers — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 12:00:00 GMT

On today's episode of the Advice My Friends Ignored podcast, Audrey dives into the four states of your nervous system using polyvagal theory: Ventral Vagal, Sympathic, Dorsal Vagal, and Freeze.

Audrey explores what dysregulation in each state looks and feels like and how your body uses specific signals, such as thoughts, sensations, and feelings, to indicate your state and how your nervous system is trying to protect you.

Audrey also explores why talk therapy may not always bring the results you want, why going from feeling numb to feeling everything is a good thing, what creating regulation really means, and how to create more feelings of safety in the body to break free from living in survival mode.

If you struggle with feeling anxious some days to dissociated or hopeless other days, and you can't seem to find any consistency in how you're feeling, this episode is for you.

Understanding Why Habits Are So Hard to Break and 3 Tips on How to Break Them

Audrey Brothers — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 10:00:19 GMT

Today, I will be diving into the concept of habits, how habits are formed, why they are so hard to break, and I'll be sharing 3 of my favorite science-backed tips when it comes to breaking and starting habits. Habits are an automatic, redundant set of unconscious of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that are acquired through repetition. When we engage in an activity repeatedly, we condition our subconscious mind and our subconscious mind makes up 95% of who we are and how we feel in every moment. Years of thinking the same thoughts and then feeling the same way that matches those thoughts leads to a memorized state of being. Then we define ourselves by this state of being by saying, “I have always been a perfectionist”, “I have always been a smoker”, “I have always been short-tempered”, or whatever it may be. And when we continuously identify with these thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we are continuously programming the subconscious mind. So in order to transcend our limiting behaviors and habits and create new habits, we must learn to remain present; the present moment is where all potentials exist in the quantum field of energy. We must harness the energy of the present moment and change our brain chemistry through changing ;our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Comparison is the thief of joy and it is something we all have struggled with in one way or another, whether it's comparing our job, our relationship, our success, our home, or our finances to someone else.

How Our Perceptions Impact The Experiences of Life

Audrey Brothers — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 18:18:13 GMT

Today, I will dive into how our perceptions alter the experiences of life that unfold in front of us. The meaning of life is to experience life, but when we are fostering a lot stored trauma, emotions, or thoughts from our past that no longer serve us, it leads us to chase the experiences in life that we think will make us feel good while simultaneously avoiding the experiences in life that we think will make us feel bad. But when we do this, we aren't allowing ourselves to experience life exactly as it is due to projecting our warped perception onto it and we end up trying to manipulate the moments in front of us.

Understanding Fear and How to Overcome It with Michael St. Cyr

Audrey Brothers — Thu, 29 Dec 2022 19:44:20 GMT

In today’s episode, I am speaking with Mike St. Cyr, a fellow entrepreneur and high-performing real estate agent, who has faced his fears in numerous areas of his life ranging from his finances, his career, his education, and his relationships. Mike opens up about his experiences with fear over the course of his professional and financial journey and how those experiences have reframed his mindset towards how he shows up for himself and his responsibilities each day. We discuss how fear shows up in each of our lives differently; whether it shows up in the form of failure, rejection, judgment, or comparison, and how to recognize that it’s fear and how to remain present in those moments of uncertainty. Mike shares that self-reflection and remaining connected to the present moment have been major catalysts in his journey to facing and overcoming his fears.

How To Improve Your Relationship With Yourself

Audrey Brothers — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 02:42:56 GMT

Today I will dive into how to improve and nurture the most important relationship you have in this life; the relationship you have with yourself. If you don't love, appreciate, or believe in yourself, it impacts how you show up for not only yourself, but also how you show up for others in your life. Most of us can relate to feeling unworthy, unlovable, not good enough, or simply unhappy. Most of our minds have been conditioned to think a specific way and because of this, we end up operating on auto-pilot, leaving us to feel insecure, unsatisfied, helpless, or lost in life. But the good news is, this can be changed. We don't have to operate on auto-pilot, we don't have to engage in the same thoughts, behaviors, or actions that make us feel lesser than we are. We can change how we think, feel, and act, and ultimately, change the relationship we have with ourselves to be so much healthier and empowering, and in today's episode I share the best ways to heal and nurture the relationship you have with yourself.

The reality of putting in the work to see change

Audrey Brothers — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 13:00:00 GMT

Join Audrey and Sarah as they deep dive into a highly relevant theme that's been showing up in both their lives for the past few weeks: what it actually looks like to put in work to see change.

Some themes that are covered in this episode:

How social media affects confidence of setting long term goals
Overcoming the unknowns of change
How your inner child belief system affects what you do and don’t do

And what’s even better? They dropped a handful of journal prompts that can help you uncover and bring self awareness around why you might not be seeing change in an area(s) of your life.

Why do I think I am finding myself back at the point I was before?
Is my resistance to change based on facts or assumptions?
Do I not trust or feel capable in my own ability to make change happen?
Am I operating based on the skepticism that change can’t happen for me even though I want to see change badly?
What does being committed in the process of change look like for me?
What am I going to do about it?

Due to gender roles, norms within our society or how we're raised, it's easy for us to lean into one energy more than the other. I'll share examples from my own relationships (both with myself and my previous partner) and how being too deeply within my masculine energy impacted my overall well-being.
