Jackie Elliott (certified life/relationship/spiritual coach, author <em>A Silent Bully: A Journey From Abusive Brain Chatter to Self-Love</em>) shares her pivot from overworked single mom &amp; binge eating to thriving entrepreneur. From &quot;abusive brain chatter&quot; (shame spirals from trauma/core beliefs) to ABC tools (aware, believe, challenge), raw insights on boundaries (bowling-lane metaphor: Stay in your lane!), intuition vs. anxiety (body dialogues, dear God journaling), &amp; compassionate communication (donut method: Appreciate + need + ask). For autistic/ADHD adults masking or people-pleasing, parents guiding, or OTs fostering resilience, this convo&apos;s your toolkit—no perfection, just gentle shifts to authentic fulfillment.</p><p>Timestamps:<br/> 0:00 - Intro: Jackie&apos;s Journey from Trauma to Transformation<br/> 2:48 - Abusive Brain Chatter &amp; Food Addiction Roots<br/> 8:05 - Boundaries in Relationships (Lane Metaphor)<br/> 13:19 - Communication Blocks &amp; Compassionate Tools<br/> 18:09 - Toxic Dynamics: Journaling for Clarity<br/> 25:47 - Intuition Trust: Body Dialogues &amp; Spiritual Coaching<br/> 32:51 - Book <em>A Silent Bully</em> &amp; Empowerment Retreats<br/> 38:03 - Where to Find Jackie (HealingABC.com)</p><p>Smash subscribe on Apple/Spotify for weekly neurodivergent adulting hacks—rate/review if it sparked your self-love shift!

Jackie Elliott unpacks &quot;abusive brain chatter&quot; (trauma-fueled inner critic leading to addictions like binge eating)—her 31-year journey from emotional abuse/shame to self-love via ABC method (aware of chatter, believe kinder truths, challenge core beliefs). Highlights: People-pleasing pitfalls (acceptance as friendship key), toxic relationships (journal signs to escape gaslighting/isolation), intuition building (quiet tornado head w/ present-moment clicks, body feels for anxiety vs. gut), compassionate comms (donut: Appreciate + need + ask for buy-in). As life/relationship/spiritual coach, Jackie&apos;s retreats (meditation/dance/cacao) &amp; book <em>A Silent Bully</em> (memoir/workbook) empower neurodivergents (autism/ADHD overlaps) to silence bullies, set lanes (boundaries), &amp; trust inner wisdom.
