  • The Good Daughter Gets Tired with Radha Dalal

    The Good Daughter Gets Tired with Radha Dalal
    26 Oct 2026

    Welcome! To connect or become a client visit brightlightmft.com or call/text 956-249-7930.

    In today's episode, The Good Daughter Gets Tired with Radha Dalal, we talk about the moment being “the good daughter” starts to cost us our voice, and how people pleasing can shift from kindness into self-abandonment. We explore how collectivist culture, late-diagnosed ADHD, and rejection sensitivity can make overgiving feel unavoidable, then we map practical ways to build self-trust and set kind boundaries that protect relationships.


    • The fawn response as a nervous system survival skill rather than a character flaw
    • Quiet signs people pleasing has crossed into self-abandonment
    • Collectivist culture, family honor, and holding love with nuance
    • Honoring mothers and grandmothers while choosing something different
    • Late ADHD diagnosis in women and the relief and grief it can bring
    • Rejection sensitivity and how it drives overcommitting
    • Narrative therapy questions to challenge painful meaning-making
    • Using body cues to reconnect with wants and needs
    • Boundaries as fences with doorways and why communication matters
    • Five percent more self-trust through small daily decisions
    • Responding to family pushback without overexplaining or energy leaks

    Show Guest:

    Radha Dalal is a North Dallas-based LMFT Associate, yoga and meditation teacher, and host of The Pink Rose Pod. She supports women, including South Asian women, navigating ADHD, people-pleasing, burnout, cultural and family expectations, and boundaries.

If you live around here, she's likely looked in your ears, listened to your lungs, or talked you through something hard.Melodye was born in Abilene and raised in Crawford, Texas. She started at McLennan Community College, then graduated magna cum laude from Tarleton State with a degree in exercise and sports studies. And before she ever wore a white coat, she was a teacher and a coach. She went on to earn a master's in physical education from Southwest Texas State, spent years working in exercise science, wellness, and weight management, including walking alongside patients before and after bariatric surgery, and then completed her master's in physician assistant studies at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 2006.Her first job as a PA was at a community health clinic in Luling, serving people who did not have easy access to care. That season shaped her. It's where her commitment to accessible, compassionate medicine put down roots.In 2010, she joined Wimberley Medical Clinic. And after sixteen years of caring for this community, she and her husband, Chas Humphrey, purchased the clinic, a practice that has served Wimberley for more than thirty years. In her words, this isn't simply a business. It's a commitment.She cares for all ages: family medicine, preventive care, chronic disease management, perimenopause and menopause care, weight management, and those same-day sick visits we are all so grateful for.

  • Write Your Story, Create Your Life with artist Brooklyn James

    Write Your Story, Create Your Life with artist Brooklyn James
    12 Oct 2026
    Welcome! To connect or become a client visit catiaholm.com or call/text 956-249-7930. In today's episode, Write Your Story, Create Your Life with artist Brooklyn James, we explore what it takes to stop living inside a story someone else wrote and start telling the truth at a pace your nervous system can handle. Brooklyn James shares how writing and songwriting helped her metabolize childhood abuse, loosen shame, and rebuild vulnerability in safe relationships. • why untold stories get heavier over time • how expressive writing research supports healing and meaning-making • affect labeling and why naming feelings calms the brain • why music reaches emotion faster than sentences • Brooklyn’s origin story behind The Boots My Mother Gave Me and its soundtrack • using fiction and romance as a “carrot” to stay with hard truth • hypervigilance, family roles, and the brutal choice to leave an abusive home • how speaking about domestic violence and suicide prevention reduced shame • learning to unlearn armor and practice micro-moments of vulnerability • choosing your pace and picking the right audience for your story • why pen to paper can process differently than typing Show Guest: Brooklyn JamesBrooklyn James is an author and singer-songwriter who loves nothing more than mixing books with music. Her first novel, The Boots My Mother Gave Me, follows strong-willed tomboy Harley LeBeau as she comes of age, leaves an abusive home, and learns to trust in love. There's a small town, a boy named Jeremiah Johnson who gives her a soft place to fall, and a Chevelle named Charlene. The book explores the courage to overcome, the strength in sisterhood, and the conflict and unconditional love between mothers and daughters. It also comes with an original soundtrack.Out of that book grew a platform, and Brooklyn has served as a guest speaker focused on awareness and prevention of domestic violence and suicide.Her birth memoir, Born in the Bed You Were Made: One Family's Journey from Cesarean to Home Birth, led her to speak about accessibility, rights, and choice in birth. She also teaches writing workshops that help people put their own birth stories on paper.These days she's making music with her longtime friend, cowriter, and producer Eric McKinney of Wonderland Studios ATX. They met back in 2010 when he produced the soundtrack for Boots, and they've kept a standing date ever since: Sunday Songwriting Sessions. As the duo McKinney James, they've been releasing singles like I Don't Care, One Of Them Boys, Hits Me, Crazy Like, and Up In Flames. By her own account they've written a ton of okay songs and a few rather good ones, which might be the most honest description of creative work I've ever heard.And because one career is apparently not enough, she moonlights in voice-over and film. She played a paramedic in a Weezer video. She met Harry Connick Jr. as an extra on When Angels Sing. She appeared in Richard Linklater's Boyhood for, in her words, all of a nanosecond. And she was a stand-in and stunt double for Mira Sorvino on a Jerry Bruckheimer pilot.She holds a master's in Communication and bachelor's degrees in both Nursing and Animal Science. So she can write the song, check your vitals, and probably deliver a calf.But what she finds most thrilling is being a mother to two illuminating little souls and a wife to the one big soul they get their light from. She says he's the hero in all her stories.Brooklyn fits this topic because she doesn't just tell her own story. She helps other people find the words for theirs.
