In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Candice Horbacz, a former adult film star turned mindfulness advocate, podcaster, and homeschooling mother. Candice brings a rare blend of candor, introspection, and wisdom to this deeply personal conversation. We explore how she navigated radical life transitions, healed from childhood trauma, and created a home rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and emotional safety.   Candice opens up about her own upbringing, the dysfunction that shaped her early worldview, and how she found her way to a new version of identity after walking away from the adult industry. This episode is about reclaiming power—through parenting, partnership, and personal evolution.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS   [0:00] – Introduction [1:36] – How Candice's childhood shaped her early sense of self [4:18] – Growing up in a home where emotions weren't safe [7:03] – Her path into the adult film industry and what it masked [9:55] – Why the lack of secure relationships drew her toward unhealthy dynamics [12:30] – How she began to explore healing, trauma work, and self-awareness [14:49] – The role of her partner in helping her see her worth [17:01] – What led her to leave the adult industry behind [18:57] – Shifting identity and rebuilding trust within herself [21:04] – Navigating marriage with vulnerability and truth [23:15] – Creating emotional safety for her son as a homeschooling mom [26:40] – Why curiosity is her #1 parenting tool [29:21] – Helping kids navigate their own triggers without shame [32:09] – Final reflections on how to lead with authenticity at home     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Early Dysfunction Often Masks Itself in Achievement or Escape: Candice shares how a childhood without emotional safety pushed her to find validation in unhealthy spaces, including adult entertainment. Self-Awareness Begins with Naming the Pain: Her healing journey started by recognizing how trauma shaped her reactions, her self-worth, and her definition of love. You Can Reinvent Your Identity Without Shame: Leaving the adult film industry was a reclamation of agency, and her story proves it's never too late to rewrite your narrative. Parenting with Curiosity Builds Emotional Safety: Rather than reacting with control, Candice leans into curiosity when her son struggles—inviting connection instead of conflict. Partnerships Flourish in Vulnerability, Not Performance: With her husband, Candice found safety to explore who she truly was—laying the foundation for a conscious, present, and authentic marriage.   LINKS & RESOURCES Learn more about Candice and her work: https://www.chattingwithcandice.com Candice's Website: candicehorbacz.com  Discover our free Questions for the Car download: https://thedadedge.com/25questions The Dad Edge & Bark: http://thedadedge.com/bark Show Notes for this episode: thedadedge.com/1402     If this episode gave you a new perspective on parenting, healing, or connection, share it with someone who needs to hear it—and don't forget to rate and review the podcast.   Live legendary.

Paul Gregory argues that Lee Harvey Oswald's primary motive was a profound belief that he was special and destined for greatness, fostered by his mother. Gregory insists Oswald is often underestimated, highlighting his achievements as a master manipulator who deceived the Soviets and planned the General Walker assassination attempt. A secondary but major factor was Marina, who constantly scorned his intelligence and manhood, making him feel worthless. Oswald's trial was meant to be his glorious moment to demonstrate his brilliance to the world and Marina. Killing the president offered a way to prove himself to his wife and establish himself as a historical figure. Guest: Paul Gregory. 1961

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of the Transform Your Life podcast, I talk about the importance of living your own purpose in life rather than conforming to the expectations and ideals of others. I talk about how we can get stuck in careers, relationships, and situations that don't align with our true desires because we seek the approval of our parents, partners, and society. I ask you to explore whether you are truly living a purposeful, fulfilling life on your own terms or living your life for others. As I ask the last question, I think back to the 1991 movie, The Dead Poet's Society, and I think about the movie character named Neil. He wanted to pursue acting and loved it, but his stern father wanted him to go to Harvard Medical School. Neil hated the idea of medical school and found it soul-crushing, but he agreed. You'll have to watch the movie for the story's conclusion, but it's not uncommon for people to deny their own hopes, wishes, wants, and dreams and instead live their lives to please their parents. Often times cultural and familial pressures guide people down a path that doesn't fulfill them, and they live decades misaligned from their own purpose while trying to please others. So, it's important to ask whether you are living your own purpose or someone else's. Another purpose-robbing action that people often get into is seeking validation from others. This is a surefire way to live an unfulfilled life. For example, a friend of mine was constantly motivated by a desire for his father's approval, and that led him down an obsessive path of constantly trying to prove himself. This behavior disconnects you from your higher self and obscures your true purpose. You can't create an authentic life while dependent on external validation. I have found that the key to living your purpose is surrendering to your destiny and innate talents. This involves getting quiet, listening to your intuition, and taking aligned action. We must focus on the importance of being grateful and on contribution rather than achievement. Here are four key points you may want to keep in mind: Surrender to your innate talents and destiny.Listen to your intuition and take aligned action.Express gratitude and focus on contributing.Achievements will naturally follow purposeful contributions. You must examine whether you are living someone else's purpose or your own. If you are not thrilled by how you spend your days, you are likely conforming to others' expectations. I challenge you to get creative, listen within, and take steps each day to live your own purpose. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway When you are living your purpose, you are contributing your talents to activities that light you up, and you will experience true joy and fulfillment. Your key is being brave enough to live life on your own terms. Just do it. Mentioned Resources: EPISODE 280: History, Humanity, and Spiritual Ego.

The Psychology of Leadership: Turn Stress into Peak Performance, with Sebastien Page,  a $500 billion fund manager How do top leaders and athletes use stress to boost performance instead of burning out?  Most high-achieving leaders believe they have to eliminate stress to perform their best—but sports psychology reveals the opposite is true.  The real problem isn't stress itself; it's operating too close to the edge without understanding your optimal performance zone, leading to burnout, lost creativity, and goal-induced blindness. In this episode of Impact with Ease, Blake talks with Sebastien Page, Chief Investment Officer at T. Rowe Price and author of The Psychology of Leadership, about the neuroscience and psychology of peak performance. Sebastien shares insights from 25 years as a leader in high-pressure finance, revealing how research from elite athletes like Simone Biles and Roger Federer can transform how you lead. You'll learn why zero stress isn't the goal, how to turn stress into energy, and the framework for sustainable success that helps you thrive at work while protecting what matters most in life.   Episode Highlights   Turning Stress Into Peak Performance [00:04] – Why zero stress isn't the goal for optimal performance [06:33] – The "second layer" of stress that leads to burnout [08:15] – The performance curve: when stress helps vs. harms your leadership   Sports Psychology Meets Executive Leadership [11:18] – Zone pacing: finding your optimal speed as a leader  [13:47] – Flow state and the balance between challenge and capability [15:20] – What Simone Biles teaches us about overtraining, rest, and coming back stronger   Deep Work, AI, and the Future of Leadership [23:35] – Deep work vs. shallow work for high-performing leaders [27:28] – The optimistic case for AI [30:00] – Why burned-out leaders can't innovate in the AI era [32:29] – Eric Hoffer's wisdom: "Learners inherit the earth"   Rethinking Success and the Psychology of Goals [34:15] – You're not burned out—you're addicted to the wrong goals [36:30] – The Harvard happiness study: what really predicts long-term fulfillment [38:48] – Achievement doesn't fix a misaligned life   Resilience, Failure, and Sustainable Success [48:23] – How small daily misalignments drain your energy [50:07] – Addressing small stressors [51:06] – Roger Federer and learning to lose well [55:31] – The one habit that predicts thriving   Powerful Quotes "What sports psychologists found is that optimal performance isn't at zero stress — it's at the point of healthy activation." – Sebastian Page "Achievement doesn't fix a misaligned life. How you feel day to day is what matters most." – Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned  Connect with Sebastian Page: https://www.psychologyofleadership.net/ https://www.instagram.com/sebastienpagebook?igsh=MWk2cWV2c2JmNGhiNA%3D%3D https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3mpHw7hFLiqCSawsBkK11g   Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

High performance can quietly become survival mode. In this episode, discover why you can't stop striving, how your nervous system equates love with productivity, and how to recalibrate peace as the new signal of safety.If you've ever tried to rest but ended up restless, this episode will meet you where achievement and exhaustion quietly collide.In The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores why high performers struggle to “turn off” even when everything in them craves peace. Drawing from Michael Phelps' post-Olympic crash and the neuroscience of the dopamine loop, Julie reveals how your brain learns to equate love with productivity and motion with safety.This isn't about laziness, burnout, or discipline—it's about wiring. Your reward system was built to chase validation through motion. That's why stopping feels unsafe, and stillness feels like failure.But wiring can be rewritten. Through the lens of faith, psychology, and embodied leadership, Julie walks you through the process of retraining your nervous system to trust peace again.You'll learn why performance pressure, decision fatigue, and spiritual exhaustion are symptoms of deeper identity misalignment—and how to begin rewiring your inner safety system through The Recalibration, not another mindset tactic but the root-level, identity-first process that makes every other tool effective.If your success has come with invisible exhaustion, this episode will help you understand why—and what freedom feels like when you finally stop earning your existence through effort.Today's Micro Recalibration: When you catch yourself striving, pause and whisper, “I'm safe even when I'm still.” Let your body feel what your mind already knows: you belong, even at rest.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Why do some ideas spark movements while others fizzle? Joel—author of The Idea Machine, veteran publisher, and Chief Content Officer at Full Focus—explains how books transform vague thoughts into precise, shareable frameworks. You'll hear the case for analog reading, how writing unlocks buy-in at work, and why AI and books actually belong together. Practical, contrarian, and deeply encouraging for any high achiever who wants clearer thinking and better communication.Memorable Quotes“Ideas that start in the mind of an author as just kind of a gooey, fuzzy idea. And in the course of writing, it forces them to get clear on it. It forces them to get specific about it and develop it in a way that actually becomes useful.”“Not only can these ideas live in a way that we can understand them, but they can live through time. And that's one of the greatest things about a book—that it perpetuates ideas across time.”“It forces you to get clear. It forces you to develop an argument. It forces you to develop a line of thought that other people can follow. And without that, you're kind of left with a grab bag of ideas that are probably cool. They're great, but they're not in a system that can be used or explained or anything like that.”“I think this is true for leaders. They have a lot of personal charisma and people want to follow them, but that's not enough. You really do have to go to the discipline of getting these ideas clear for yourself so that they can be clear to other people.”“Part of what we've done is we've just de-skilled ourselves in reading and we just need to re-skill ourselves in reading.”“Never read a book 'cause you're supposed to. Read books because they delight. You read books because they're entertaining to you. Read books because you get something out of it that you really like.”Key TakeawaysBooks Are Tech. Treat books as an information technology that lets ideas scale with precision and longevity.Writing Creates Clarity. If you want buy-in, don't rely on vibes—write the memo. Make your idea explicit and specific.Right Format, Right Job. Use audio/ebook for breadth and speed. Reach for print when you need depth, notes, and recall.AI Is a Companion. From library science to today's models, AI extends the book's mission—use it to augment (not replace) critical thinking.Build a Daily Reading Habit. Aim for 30–60 minutes a day (top and bottom of day works). Follow your curiosity. Quit the books that don't serve you.ResourcesThe Idea Machine by Joel J.

The Mongols attempted to invade Japan on 5th November, 1274. Despite having a fleet of 900 ships, they failed - in part due to a ‘kamikaze' typhoon that whooshed their boats back to Korea. Then they tried again - and failed again.

Why are the numbers 1, 2, and 3 across the top of a phone keypad but across the bottom of a calculator? It's not random — and once you hear the logic, you'll never look at a keypad the same way again.

Source: Ivan Semeniuk, co-author of Why Don't Penguins' Feet Freeze? (https://amzn.to/3sf8muM) Achievement can be wonderful — until it starts defining your worth.

Journalist and social commentator Jennifer Wallace, author of Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic—And What We Can Do About It( https://amzn.to/49jkdIQ), reveals how modern “achievement culture” took hold, why it's making so many people miserable, and how to redefine success so it actually feels good.

Cookie-cutter curriculum can be Kryptonite to a gifted kid, and can often spark a decline into a place where underachievement becomes the norm. Dr. Jim Delisle helps us probe the world of underachievement, and suggests ways to help people of various underachiever profiles break their chains. Our hearts are heavy with Jim's recent passing. Jim Delisle was a giant in the field of giftedness and neurodiversity, and one of its fiercest advocates. He was a friend, an important collaborator, and his contributions left an indelible mark on our podcast and the lives of our team. More than that, he literally changed the world for countless neurodivergent people. Our thoughts are with Jim's family - his wife, Deb, son Matthew and daughter-in-law Jennifer, and grandson, Wyatt. Thank you, Jim, for being such an important part of our story. James Delisle, PhD, was a professor of education for 25 years at Kent State University (Ohio), where he was selected by faculty and students as a Distinguished Professor, the University's most prestigious teaching award. Jim worked on behalf of gifted children and teens for nearly four decades. He was the author of hundreds of articles and 17 books that have been published in multiple languages, and consulted with schools worldwide in an effort to increase awareness of the needs of gifted children and adults. Jim also worked part time with highly gifted 9th and 10th graders at the Scholars' Academy in Conway, South Carolina.

Imposter syndrome is the persistent feeling of self-doubt and intellectual fraudulence, despite consistent evidence of one's competence and accomplishments.

In this week's episode of Lessons from a Quitter, I wrap up our burnout series by tackling one of the most common struggles high-achievers face: how to actually feel joy again. A listener asked, "What if I've been so focused on achievement that I don't even know how to experience joy outside of work?" We dig into how our culture conditions us to seek validation through productivity and how to rewire that programming. I share small, practical steps to reconnect with your body, rebuild curiosity, and rediscover what genuinely lights you up—so you can find joy in everyday life, not just achievement.

Why do so many high achievers secretly struggle with anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm? Dr. Elizabeth Stanley, Army veteran, Georgetown professor, and author of Widen the Window, joins Michael Hyatt to explain the hidden science behind stress and resilience. Drawing on her personal story of trauma, her background in the military, and her training in somatic therapy, Elizabeth reveals why talk therapy alone often falls short—and how body-based practices can change everything. This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply hopeful for anyone who feels stuck in patterns of stress.Memorable Quotes“We're all in it together and we're all experiencing the particular lawful ways that this human mind and body works in this particular poly-crisis world. Of course, people are struggling. It's kind of why it's my passion to help people understand ‘You're not alone in this.'”“We are wired organically to be able to mobilize the energy to manage a crisis or a stressful situation, and then recover. Our ancestors that shared the same wiring that we have did not have 24/7 constant activation and constant demands the way that we do in modern life today.”“The science term there is allostatic load, and the more our stress load grows, the less capacity we have in our mind and body to meet the next challenge, so that it becomes a bit of a vicious cycle, and we know that we're on the edge of our window or outside of our window of tolerance.”“We are built so that we learn the downregulation through the soothing we receive from our parents and other early caregivers. And that presumes that our early caregivers and parents were regulated enough to do that for us.”“If we're redirecting it somewhere that the survival brain perceives as safe, that actually starts conditioning. A process that makes the system move back in the way that we're organically built, which is to go through stress and recover naturally.”“When we don't perceive agency, when we feel powerless or helpless, that actually leads to higher levels of arousal and it really resolidifies the prior conditioning. So being able to access that choice point is really critical in beginning to shift it.”“If our parents had narrowed windows, if they were coping with a lot of stress and trauma, or if they were absent, if they had mental illness or they were incarcerated, they aren't able to help us wire those things. It's one of the ways that narrowed windows get transmitted intergenerationally and why trauma can become intergenerational.”Key TakeawaysYou're Not Broken. Chronic anxiety and overwhelm are signs of dysregulation, not defects. They're the evidence of what you've walked through—but don't determine what's ahead.Your Body Knows the Way. Healing starts by listening to the signals of your nervous system. The key is not to minimize our reactions, but to listen and practice strategies that help us return to baseline.Talk Therapy Isn't Enough. True healing requires engaging the body and nervous system. Trauma-informed, body-based therapy can lead to breakthroughs when just thinking and talking isn't enough.Agency Is Key. Learning to notice choice points rewires the brain toward safety. The quickest way out of powerlessness is regaining a sense of agency.Resilience Can Be Trained. Simple, repeated practices expand your “window of tolerance.” It takes time and intention, but you can widen your window.ResourcesWiden the Window by Elizabeth StanleyElizabeth Stanley's Mindfulness-Based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT)Watch on Youtube at:  https://youtu.be/Z607BPgbxi4This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
