The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar life tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast, ranked top 10% globally. I'm your host–a sought after best selling author, keynote speaker, and burnout recovery coach for women leaders bringing you stress renewal, energy reset, and inner confidence. Each week, I  bring you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to thrive in life.    Episode Title: Leadership Energy: How Your Vibe Shapes Your Team's Success Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Andrew Stout Episode Summary: In this engaging episode, host Robyn Engelson, sits down with HR expert and Let's Be Diverse Podcast host, Andrew Stout, to unpack how leadership energy shapes workplace culture. Andrew shares powerful insights on why leaders who cultivate trust, empathy, and open communication create environments where employees thrive, free from the "Sunday scaries." He and Robyn discuss practical tools like "listening with pause" (prioritizing understanding overreacting) and why investing in meaningful team experiences (like retreats) outperforms empty perks (like pizza parties). The conversation explores how great leaders spark loyalty, with Andrew noting that engaged teams often turn down recruiter offers because they feel valued. Robyn and Andrew also tackle common pitfalls, like silence breeding resentment, and emphasize the courage of speaking up to drive change.    You'll learn: How leadership energy directly impacts team morale, engagement, and productivity Why "Sunday blues" happen—and how great leaders create workplaces employees want to join on Mondays The power of listening with pause: Why understanding > immediate problem-solving Workplace harmony vs. work-life balance: Why blending work/passion beats strict separation Retention secrets: How engaged teams reject recruiter calls (and why they stay loyal) Why pizza parties fail—and what to do instead (e.g., meaningful retreats & connection) How silence breeds resentment—and why speaking up transforms culture The ripple effect of joy: How passion reduces burnout and fuels productivity HR truths: Core values (trust, empathy, communication) that actually retain top talent   Memorable Quotes: How you show up as a leader sets the weather for your entire team." (Andrew Stout) "Employees don't leave companies, they leave leaders who drain their energy." (Andrew Stout) "If your team dreads Mondays, that's not a ‘them' problem, it's a you problem." (Robyn Engelson) Pizza parties are the Band-Aids of bad culture. Real connection? That takes intention." (Andrew Stout) "A ‘safe workplace' isn't about beanbags and free snacks, it's about people feeling heard." (Robyn Engelson) "Harmony isn't balanced. It's loving where you work and where you live." (Andrew Stout)   Resources & Mentions: Andrew Stout's insights on empathetic leadership and eradicating "Sunday blues" Research on psychological safety's impact on team performance (Harvard Business Review) Innovative HR approaches for diagnosing workplace culture beyond employee surveys Organizations focusing on human-centric leadership and team retreat design   Actionable Steps for Listeners: Audit Your Leadership Energy If your team dreads Mondays or avoids speaking up, your vibe may be the issue. Start noticing how people respond when you enter a room.   Replace Empty Perks with Real Connection Cancel the pizza party. Instead, invest in meaningful offsites or skill-building workshops that align with your team's values.   Practice "Listening with Pause" In your next 1:1, focus only on understanding (no solutions!). Say: “Tell me more about that” and let silence do the work.   Kill Assumptions with Transparency When you sense tension, name it: “I'm noticing ___. What's your take?” Miscommunication thrives in the unsaid.   Final Thought: A leader's energy sets the tone for the entire team. By fostering trust, open communication, and genuine engagement, workplaces can transform from stressful environments into spaces where people thrive.   What listeners have to say: Andrew Stout delivers transformative wisdom with rare authenticity. His insights on leadership energy didn't just explain my workplace struggles - they gave me the language to finally change them. That moment about 'silence being culture's slow killer' shook me to action. For the first time in years, I feel equipped to transform my team's dynamic rather than just survive it.   Loved this episode? If you found value in this conversation, don't forget to leave a review!

The Robyn Engelson Podcast   Ever wish you had a wellness mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar health tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host–a sought after autoimmune and wellness expert, corporate drop-out turned serial entrepreneur, and lifestyle transformer. Each week, I'll be bringing you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.    Episode Title:  Tired. Foggy. Gaining weight. But your labs are “normal”? Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Dr. Doriana Parkin Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode, Robyn engages in a conversation with Dr. Doriana Parkin, a family doctor trained in traditional western medicine. Together, we delve into the complex connection between thyroid health, gut function, and the deep impact of emotional trauma. Dr. Parkin uncovers how even when lab results appear "normal," many patients continue to suffer from symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, and chronic pain. The conversation explores how emotional well-being, early life stress, and unresolved trauma can play a pivotal role in disrupting physical health, particularly the thyroid and gut systems. Dr. Parkin shares her approach to compassionate, trauma-informed care and explains why validating a patient's personal story is just as crucial as analyzing lab reports. This episode offers profound insights into how to listen to your body and advocate for your own health. You'll learn: How emotional trauma, especially childhood stress, can impact thyroid health and gut function, leading to chronic health issues. The significance of mind-body connection in understanding symptoms that lab tests often fail to explain. Why patients with normal lab results can still experience debilitating symptoms, and how emotional history is key to finding the root cause. The crucial role of compassionate, trauma-informed care in healing chronic illnesses. How to trust your body's signals and seek the right kind of medical support when you feel dismissed. Memorable Quotes: ““Thyroid health isn't just about the numbers—it's about understanding the emotional story behind those numbers.” “Your symptoms may not show up in a test, but that doesn't mean they're not real or treatable.” “Compassionate care listens to both the body and the story it tells.” “The gut and thyroid are deeply connected; if one is off, it can disrupt the other.” “You're your own advocate—trust your instincts and find a provider who respects your health journey.”   Resources & Mentions: Dr. Doriana Parkin's approach to thyroid and gut health. Research on the connection between gut health, thyroid function, and autoimmune diseases. Integrative medicine approaches to diagnosing beyond conventional lab work. Clinics and practices focused on compassionate and integrative care for thyroid health.   Actionable Steps for Listeners: Trust Your Symptoms: If your body is telling you something isn't right—even when tests come back "fine"—trust that feeling. Your symptoms are valid and deserve attention. Prioritize Emotional Healing: Consider how past emotional trauma may be affecting your physical health. Seek care that addresses both the mind and body. Focus on Gut Health: Your gut plays a significant role in thyroid health. Consult with a professional who can help balance your gut and thyroid together. Seek Compassionate Care: Don't settle for healthcare that dismisses your concerns. Advocate for a provider who listens and integrates emotional and physical care. Final Thought: True healing begins when you're fully seen and heard. When patients feel understood and their health concerns are validated—not dismissed—they are empowered to begin the journey toward recovery. Compassionate care isn't just a luxury, it's essential for true healing. If you feel your symptoms are ignored, it's time to find a healthcare provider who understands your unique story and addresses both your emotional and physical health needs.   What listeners have to say: “Dr. Parkin's approach was a breath of fresh air. She truly listened and validated my experiences, which made me feel understood for the first time. This episode opened my eyes to the crucial link between emotions and physical health. I now feel empowered to take control of my healing journey.”   Loved this episode? If you found value in this conversation, don't forget to leave a review!

That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host–a sought after autoimmune and wellness expert, corporate drop-out turned serial entrepreneur, and lifestyle transformer. Each week, I'll be bringing you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.    Episode Title:  Exhausted, in pain, anxious and your labs say you're "fine"? Host: Robyn Engelson Guest:  Dr. David Clarke Episode Summary: In this powerful episode, Robyn sits down with Dr. David Clarke, a renowned expert in mind-body medicine, to explore the hidden connection between emotional trauma and chronic physical symptoms. Dr. Clarke explains how many people suffer from real, debilitating issues—such as fatigue, pain, or digestive problems, even when their medical tests come back normal. The conversation dives into how unresolved childhood stress and emotional pain can manifest physically, especially when left unacknowledged. Dr. Clarke shares stories from his practice, emphasizing the importance of listening to patients' life experiences, not just their lab results. Together, they discuss why so many women are dismissed by the healthcare system and how compassion, awareness, and emotional healing can be the missing key to true recovery. This episode offers a new lens to understand your symptoms and encourages you to trust your body's signals and your own story.   You'll learn: How unresolved emotional trauma and chronic stress can manifest as real physical symptoms The role of mind-body connection in chronic illness—and why standard medical tests often miss the root cause Why patients with normal labs still suffer, and how emotional history can reveal hidden clues How adverse childhood experiences and past life stressors can influence present-day health The importance of validating your symptoms and seeking trauma-informed care The healing power of compassionate listening—and how the right doctor-patient relationship can change your entire recovery journey   Memorable Quotes: “Healing the thyroid isn't just about labs—it's about listening to your story.” “So many patients are dismissed because their symptoms don't show up on paper. That doesn't mean they're not real.” “Compassionate care isn't optional—it's essential to true healing.” “The gut and thyroid are in constant conversation. When one's off, the other listens.” “You don't need to be your own doctor—but you do need to be your own advocate.”   Resources & Mentions: Dr. David Clarke's insights on compassionate care and thyroid healing Research on the gut-thyroid connection in autoimmune diseases Functional medicine approaches for diagnosing beyond standard lab work Clinics focusing on integrative and empathetic thyroid care   Actionable Steps for Listeners: Trust Your Instincts: If your body says something's wrong—even when labs say you're "fine"—don't ignore it. Your symptoms are valid. Prioritize Gut Health: Gut health plays a powerful role in thyroid and hormone regulation. Seek guidance from professionals familiar with both. Understand Inflammation & Genetics: Learn how these hidden factors might be draining your energy and impacting your thyroid without obvious signs. Advocate for Compassionate Care: Don't settle for being dismissed. Find a provider who listens, explains, and respects your health journey   Final Thought: When patients feel dismissed or unheard, it delays healing. That's why compassion matters just as much as science. Your symptoms aren't imaginary—they're messages. When we slow down, listen, and connect the dots between gut health, inflammation, genetics, and thyroid function, we find answers others often miss. True healing begins when you're seen, heard, and supported. You deserve that kind of care.   What listeners have to say: Dr. David brings such calm clarity to complex issues. His approach made me feel seen, heard, and finally understood. This episode gave me real hope for healing what I thought I'd have to live with forever.   Loved this episode?

The world is obsessed with metrics and status. But the most important currency is the one you're missing.  Most of us spend our careers chasing validation – titles and paychecks. I did too. So did our guest Matt Emerzian. The brutal reality? Your job search misery, corporate culture complaints, and endless pursuit of status are all symptoms of the same disease:  The belief that mattering is something you find rather than something YOU make. Think this theoretical? Think again: Get Matt' 5 Frameworks to Make Your Life Matter I-You-We Framework: I Matter: Discover your uniqueness (there's only 1 of you among 8 billion!) You Matter: Make the 38,000 daily choices count by connecting first We Matter: Stop the self-help delusion - you're not on an island with a volleyball Brutal Time Audit: What truly matters to you?Check your calendar. The gap between these two answers is why you feel empty. Values as Weapons: When everything feels uncertain, non-negotiable values become your armor.  The Self-Talk Intervention: Your internal dialogue is the most revealing data point of your life. Most of us wouldn't speak to enemies the way we speak to ourselves. The Counterintuitive Path: The healing sequence is backwards: internal healing → relationship repair → serving others. Most get stuck at step one forever. Culture Ownership Test: Stop pointing at "toxic culture" as if it's over there. You ARE the culture.  Want to matter more? Start by making others matter more.   00:00 Intro 01:51 The Search for Meaning in Work 04:49 Matt's Journey to Finding Purpose 10:01 Understanding Mattering Beyond Clichés 14:34 Creating a Movement Around Mattering 22:11 Actionable Steps to Cultivate Mattering 26:03 The Power of Choice in Finding Meaning   Follow Matt: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-emerzian/ Website: https://www.matthewemerzian.com/ X: https://x.com/emerzian Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matthewemerzian/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MEmerzian/   Like what you hear?  Subscribe and leave a 5-star review!  Suggest a topic or ask a question for me to answer on the show!  Want  FREE executive job search tips each week?

And if you listen too closely to the noise, it can shake your confidence, cloud your judgment, and lead you to make the wrong move at the wrong time. So today, I've got something a little different for you—a real heavyweight conversation. I'm bringing together two very different investing worlds—property and shares—and joining me is the brilliant Louise Bedford. She's a bestselling author, a trading mentor, and one of Australia's most respected voices in the share trading space. Louise and I are going to dive deep into the psychology of investing—what really happens in our minds when the markets get messy, why fear and greed are such powerful forces, and how to stay calm, confident, and profitable even when it feels like everything is working against you. This isn't just another chat about what the market's doing. It's about what you should be doing—and more importantly, thinking—when things feel out of control.   Takeaways • Market volatility is not new; it's just more pronounced now. • Investors often react emotionally during downturns, leading to poor decisions. • Long-term investors see market dips as opportunities. • A solid investment strategy is crucial for success. • Grounding techniques can help manage emotional responses. • Recognizing personal triggers is key to maintaining control. • Diversifying information sources can combat confirmation bias. • Staying calm during market panic is essential for making rational decisions. • Building resilience is vital for navigating investment challenges. • Life is about constant change; our attitudes shape our outcomes.   Chapters 00:00 Navigating Market Volatility 01:03 The Psychology of Investing 02:13 Navigating Market Volatility 05:10 Understanding Investor Psychology 08:19 Identifying Opportunities in Uncertain Times 11:17 The Importance of Long-Term Thinking 14:19 Strategies to Combat Fear and Noise 16:59 Grounding Techniques for Traders 20:10 Staying Calm Amidst Market Chaos 23:20 Recognizing Personal Triggers 26:13 The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique 29:13 Embracing Your Inner Investor 32:02 Final Thoughts and Actionable Steps 39:03 The Power of Attitude and Change   Links and Resources: Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us  We help both beginning and experienced investors   Louise Bedford - The Trading Game   Louise's new book Investing Psychology Secrets   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

Welcome to The Lindsey Anderson Show! In today's episode, I talk with Ral West, a seasoned entrepreneur with over 40 years of experience. We address a problem that many entrepreneurs face: starting out with dreams of freedom, only to end up overwhelmed and burnt out by their businesses.We share how building systems, slowing down to speed up, and shifting your mindset can help you get out of the weeds and scale your business. If you're feeling stuck in the grind and want to break free, this episode is for you.Guest Introduction:Ral is the creator of the Overcome and Overwhelm framework, which helps entrepreneurs free up time, reduce stress, and build businesses that support their desired lifestyle. Ral's personal success story includes scaling and selling a business to Alaska Airlines, and she's now focused on investing in small cruise ships and multifamily real estate. Ral is passionate about helping entrepreneurs stop doing everything themselves and start building sustainable, profitable businesses.Building a Business That Runs Without You - Key Takeaways:Start with Systems: Ral's number one principle is to establish systems. Take stock of your daily tasks and identify which ones can be automated or delegated.Delegate Repetitive Tasks: Tasks like email follow-ups, appointment scheduling, and billing are prime candidates for delegation or automation.Automate and Use Technology: Leverage tools like AI, virtual assistants, and CRM systems to streamline your operations and save time.Work on Your Business, Not In It: Instead of micromanaging every aspect, focus on creating systems that allow your business to run smoothly without you.Seize Opportunities: Ral emphasizes the importance of being adaptable and seizing new opportunities, even when they don't align with your original business plan.The Challenges Entrepreneurs Face:As entrepreneurs, we often feel trapped by our daily operations. We struggle to scale, innovate, or keep up with our long-term vision due to a lack of systems and processes. Overwhelm becomes a common issue, leading to burnout and frustration.Key Quotes:“We were limiting the growth of the business because we couldn't do all of it, and we couldn't direct every single aspect of the business.”“The business model should support your life, not the other way around.”“Can you afford not to delegate and create systems? What are you leaving on the table in terms of revenue, health, and mental wellbeing?”“There's so much you can delegate. If you're not slowing down to speed up and taking the time to write it down, there are gaps in your time you don't even know about.”The Importance of Delegation:Ral really emphasizes the importance of good delegation and letting go of control. “You need to learn how to delegate in a way that's clearly outlined, focusing on the outcome rather than how it's done.” Delegating tasks allows the business to grow beyond the owner's capacity, and it's a crucial step for scalability.Addressing Pushback:Many entrepreneurs push back, saying they can't afford to hire help or don't have the time to build systems. Ral challenges that mindset with, “Can you afford not to?” She explains that failing to delegate leads to burnout, poor health, and missed opportunities. By delegating and automating, we free up time and increase the business's potential.Actionable Steps for Entrepreneurs:Step 1: Take stock of your tasks. Identify which tasks are repetitive and can be delegated or automated.Step 2: Document your processes. Write down the steps for tasks like follow-ups, scheduling, and...

The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a wellness mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar health tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host–a sought after autoimmune and wellness expert, corporate drop-out turned serial entrepreneur, and lifestyle transformer. Each week, I'll be bringing you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.    Episode Title: If fear is running the show, [you're missing your moment.] Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Tara Gooch Episode Summary: In this inspiring episode, Robyn interviews Tara Gooch—an internationally renowned speaker, two-time best-selling author, and leadership expert—about transforming personal confidence and building a powerful personal brand. Drawing from her own journey of overcoming depression and anxiety in corporate sales, Tara shares her transformative GRASP method and insights on how individuals can unlock their full potential. Tara candidly discusses her path from feeling stuck to becoming a TEDx speaker, breaking down the critical importance of ruthless consistency, gratitude, and self-belief. She provides practical strategies for entrepreneurs, speakers, and professionals looking to elevate their personal and professional lives, emphasizing that true confidence starts with understanding and loving yourself. Listeners will walk away with actionable advice on building a compelling personal brand, overcoming limiting beliefs, and stepping into their unique leadership potential—all while learning how to turn fear into fuel for extraordinary growth.   You'll learn: How personal branding and confidence are deeply interconnected and essential for professional growth The transformative power of gratitude in overcoming mental health challenges and building self-belief Strategies for becoming "ruthlessly consistent" in developing your personal and professional brand Why defining a unique value proposition is critical for standing out in a competitive marketplace Practical steps to overcome fear and step into your leadership potential The five-step GRASP method for personal development and confidence building How to leverage social media and speaking opportunities to expand your professional reach The importance of addressing root causes in personal growth, rather than relying on temporary solutions   Memorable Quotes: "If your fear of staying the same doesn't outweigh your fear of change, nothing will ever transform in your life." "How can you expect others to trust you if you don't trust yourself? Confidence is built internally but felt externally." "You can't be what you can't see. If you want to become the best version of yourself, you have to have clarity and see that person as if you are already that person."   Resources & Mentions: "How to Grasp Confidence in Leadership" (Tara's upcoming third book) TEDx Talk: "Gratitude: The Foundation of Confidence" Talk Your Way to the Top Speaker Community Best Branding Solutions (Tara's company)   Actionable Steps for Listeners: Use the GRASP Method – Apply Tara's five-step GRASP framework to build confidence and elevate your leadership. Start with Gratitude, and move through Resilience, Authenticity, Self-belief, and Purpose. Define Your Value Proposition – Take 15 minutes to write down what sets you apart professionally. Ask yourself: What problems do I solve? What transformation do I offer? Practice Ruthless Consistency – Choose one small habit (like journaling or posting weekly on LinkedIn) and commit to it for 30 days. Consistency creates credibility. Turn Fear into Fuel – Identify one fear that's holding you back and take a small, bold action in defiance of it—whether it's reaching out for a speaking gig or going live on social media. Reflect on Your Personal Brand Daily – Ask: What message did I send to the world today through my words, actions, and presence? Align your behavior with your brand.   Final Thought: Confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you build through clarity, courage, and consistency. Tara reminds us that the journey to becoming your best self starts with embracing who you already are. When you lead with gratitude and act in alignment with your purpose, fear loses its power. Whether you're growing a brand, launching a business, or just trying to level up in life, remember this: the most magnetic leaders are the ones who believe in themselves first. Transformation begins the moment you decide you're worth the effort.   What listeners have to say: “Her energy is fire!

That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host–a sought after autoimmune and wellness expert, corporate drop-out turned serial entrepreneur, and lifestyle transformer. Each week, I'll be bringing you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.    Episode Title: Leading with Authenticity: The Power of Gratitude, Vulnerability, and True Self-Expression [The secret to leading with purpose.] Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Nadine Levigne Episode Summary: In this insightful episode, I sit down with Nadine, a seasoned leader with experience at GE, Boeing, and a tech company, to explore the power of authentic leadership. Nadine shares her journey of helping others become the best version of themselves through meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and the ability to lead with gratitude. We dive into the importance of asking probing questions, discovering the emotional drivers behind behavior, and how leaders can foster authenticity in their teams. If you've ever struggled with feedback, leadership pressures, or the need to conform, this episode will inspire you to embrace your true self and create a workplace culture that celebrates vulnerability and connection. You'll learn: The Art of Asking Probing Questions: Nadine shares how asking deep, meaningful questions allows people to uncover and address the true issues they face, rather than just solving surface-level problems. Embracing Vulnerability in Leadership: Authentic leadership isn't about perfection—it's about aligning actions with values and being open to vulnerability. Nadine explains how leaders can show up as their true selves to foster stronger connections. Gratitude as a Tool for Personal Growth: Nadine highlights how focusing on gratitude can lift the weight of trying to be someone you're not and help you embrace your authentic self, both in leadership and life. Handling Feedback: Learning to process feedback effectively is crucial in maintaining authenticity. Nadine discusses her experience with feedback and why it's important to evaluate it within context. Memorable Quotes: “It's more questions that you ask as opposed to really trying to solve their problem.” “Whatever's going on, you have the tools inside you to fix it.” “Gratitude isn't just about saying thank you—it's about embodying it in everything you do.” “They'll remember how you made them feel.” “It is what it is, but at least I don't have that weight of trying to pretend I'm something I'm not.” Actionable Steps for Listeners: Ask the Right Questions: If you're facing a challenge or conflict, pause and ask deeper questions to uncover the emotions or underlying issues. Practice Vulnerability: Embrace your true self, imperfections and all. Lead with authenticity and invite others to do the same. Integrate Gratitude into Your Life: Start each day by acknowledging something you're grateful for—it will help shift your mindset and lighten the emotional load. Reflect on Feedback: When receiving feedback, consider the context and source before deciding if change is needed. Not all feedback should be acted upon immediately.   Final Thought: Authentic leadership starts with embracing who you truly are. When you lead with vulnerability, gratitude, and deep self-awareness, you not only inspire others to do the same but also create a culture of trust and connection that will drive lasting success. It's time to lead with authenticity—your true self has everything you need to make a positive impact.   What listeners have to say: “Her energy is fire!

In today's episode, Colleen dives into the balancing act of self-awareness and how it shapes not just our choices, but our fulfillment. She shares her raw personal journey of realizing that she had built a life that looked great on the outside—checking all the right boxes—but left her feeling empty. Instead of blaming external circumstances, she started asking better questions: Am I actually interested in what I'm doing? Am I feeling truly engaged, or just performing? What do I want more of in my life—and what do I no longer need? This episode is about curiosity, not judgment. If you've ever had a nagging feeling that something isn't quite right, but you can't put your finger on it—this conversation will help you explore the real source of that disconnect and how to gently shift toward what actually energizes you.   Key Takeaways: 1. The Difference Between Interest and Obligation Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you actually enjoy it. Being surrounded by people with shared interests is fulfilling—if those interests are truly yours. The more aligned you are with your own desires, the less effort it takes to engage. 2. When You're Not Fully Present, It's a Sign Feeling distracted or disengaged in a conversation? That's useful data. If you often find yourself “playing along” but not actually excited, that's worth noticing. It doesn't mean you have to ditch people—it means you get to explore what you are really drawn to. 3. Self-Awareness Creates More Meaningful Connections The most fulfilling relationships happen when we are fully ourselves. Instead of trying to force interest in things that don't resonate, consider what does spark curiosity for you. Adjusting your social landscape doesn't have to be dramatic—small shifts in how you spend your time can lead to major fulfillment.     Actionable Steps to Tune into Your Own Interests: ✔ Notice when you feel engaged vs. when you're on autopilot. Is this activity (or person) energizing you—or are you just going through the motions? ✔ Shift from judgment to curiosity. Instead of thinking, I should like this, ask: Do I actually like this? ✔ Give yourself permission to explore. What's something you've always been curious about but haven't pursued? ✔ Take small steps toward what excites you. You don't need to overhaul your entire life—start with one simple shift.   Homework:

Are oxalates actually harming your health, or is this another nutrition myth? In this episode of Super Life, Darin Olien breaks down the real science behind oxalates, their connection to kidney stones, mineral absorption, and gut health, and whether you really need to avoid high-oxalate foods. There's a lot of fear-mongering around oxalates, but what does the latest research say? Should you stop eating spinach, beets, or almonds? What about meat's impact on kidney function? Darin pulls from peer-reviewed studies to cut through the noise and give you the facts so you can make the best choices for your health. If you've ever wondered whether oxalates are a real concern or just clickbait, this episode is a must-listen.     Segment 1: What Are Oxalates? Friend or Foe? Oxalates, or oxalic acid, are naturally occurring compounds found in many plant-based foods. They serve as a defense mechanism for plants but can sometimes bind with minerals like calcium and iron in the body, potentially forming kidney stones or reducing nutrient absorption.  Here's the key question: Are oxalates dangerous, or is this another health myth blown out of proportion?   Here's what the research says:  For most people, oxalates are NOT a problem. Your body naturally processes and eliminates excess oxalates through urine.  For those prone to kidney stones, particularly calcium oxalate stones (which make up about 80% of all kidney stones), consuming too many high-oxalate foods can increase the risk.  Oxalates can interfere with calcium and iron absorption, but this is only a concern for people with nutrient deficiencies.   Key takeaway: If your kidneys are healthy, your body handles oxalates just fine. But if you've had kidney stones before, you might want to pay closer attention to your oxalate intake.      Segment 2: What Does the Science Say About Oxalates?  To cut through the noise, I pulled up the latest research from 2024 and 2025. Here's what's new:    1. Gut Microbiota Can Help Protect Against Oxalates  A  2025 study in Frontiers in Nutrition found that certain gut bacteria (like Oxalobacter formigenes) actually digest oxalates, helping prevent kidney stones.  Takeaway: If you're worried about oxalates, supporting your gut microbiome with probiotics might be a natural way to reduce their impact.  Link: Read Study Here   "The presence of oxalate-degrading bacteria in the gut can significantly lower oxalate absorption and reduce kidney stone risk." – Dr. L. Wang, NHANES Study    2. Vitamin C Supplements & Oxalate Formation  Some people worry that high-dose vitamin C supplements convert into oxalates, increasing kidney stone risk.  A 2025 study in Nutrients found no significant increase in urinary oxalates from vitamin C intake.  Takeaway: If you take vitamin C in moderation, you don't have to worry about it increasing oxalates.  Link: Read Study Here "Contrary to popular belief, moderate vitamin C supplementation does not significantly raise oxalate levels in urine." – Dr. P.C. Calder, Nutrients Journal    3. Cooking & Fermentation Can Reduce Oxalates  A 2024 study on fermentation & nutrient bioavailability found that cooking reduces oxalate levels by up to 60%.  Best methods? Boiling, steaming, and fermentation lower oxalates significantly.  Takeaway: If you love spinach but worry about oxalates, just boil it first!  Link: Read Study Here      Segment 3: What About Meat? Does It Increase Kidney Stone Risk? Now, here's something you might not expect. We talk a lot about oxalates and plant-based foods, but what about meat? Could eating too much meat actually contribute to kidney stones? The research says YES—but not because of oxalates. Instead, the mechanism is uric acid and metabolic acidity. Let's break it down.   1. Red Meat & Uric Acid Stones  A 2024 study in Nature Reviews Urology found that high animal protein intake increases uric acid, which contributes to kidney stones.  Excess meat consumption makes urine more acidic, making it easier for stones to form.  Link: Read Study Here "High animal protein intake, while providing essential amino acids, also contributes to increased acid load and uric acid production, both of which are risk factors for kidney stone development." – Dr. S. Loeb, Nature Reviews Urology     2. Meat Increases Metabolic Acidity  A 2025 study from Frontiers in Endocrinology found that excessive meat consumption leads to increased acid load, calcium loss, and kidney dysfunction.  This makes it harder for the kidneys to filter out waste properly.  Link: Read Study Here "While meat consumption is essential for many, excessive intake can disrupt mineral ion homeostasis, increasing the risk of kidney stone disease." – Dr. R. Ahmad, Frontiers in Endocrinology     Segment 4: Foods High & Low in Oxalates Knowing which foods to eat or limit is key.   High-Oxalate Foods (If You're at Risk)  Spinach, Swiss chard, beet greens  Beets, rhubarb, sweet potatoes  Almonds, peanuts, cashews  Blackberries, kiwi, figs  Black tea, cocoa, coffee    Low-Oxalate Foods (Safer Choices)  Kale, mustard greens, cabbage  Cauliflower, cucumbers, zucchini  Apples, bananas, melons, grapes  Milk, yogurt (binds with oxalates)  Eggs, fish, chicken, beef (in moderation)     Segment 5: Actionable Steps to Manage Oxalate & Meat Intake If you're concerned about oxalates or meat-related kidney stones, here's what to do:   Balance Oxalates with Calcium  Eat calcium-rich foods with oxalates to prevent them from forming stones. Cook Your Vegetables  Boiling, steaming, and fermenting reduce oxalates by up to 60%!  Drink Plenty of Water  Staying hydrated flushes out excess oxalates & uric acid.  Don't Overdo Meat Consumption  Limit red meat intake and balance with alkaline foods like vegetables & fruit.  Probiotics for Gut Health  Consider probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and kimchi to help break down oxalates.     Final Thoughts So, should you avoid oxalates? Should you stop eating meat? Not necessarily. The real key is BALANCE. Most people don't need to avoid oxalates entirely, and meat is fine in moderation—as long as you balance it with hydration, alkaline foods, and a gut-friendly diet.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: (00:00:00) Introduction – What are oxalates, and why is everyone talking about them?

In today's episode, Colleen shares a powerful perspective shift that can change everything about how you experience drinking—without focusing on drinking at all. Instead of obsessing over how much you drink, the real work is learning how to respond to yourself after you drink. She walks through a personal experience of having a hangover without guilt, shame, or frustration—just curiosity, self-care, and a deep understanding of what led to the decision in the first place. This episode will help you in your journey to break free from the belief that drinking is the problem and show you why emotional inflammation—shame, guilt, and self-judgment—is what actually keeps you stuck. Key Takeaways: The Real Cause of Alcohol Use Disorder (It's Not the Alcohol) The root issue isn't how much you drink—it's how you think about your drinking. The cycle of overdrinking is fueled by guilt, stress, and the belief that you should be doing better. Alcohol use disorder is 90% a thinking problem and only 10% a drinking problem. Why Self-Judgment Keeps You Stuck The perception that you failed after drinking too much triggers stress and hopelessness. The more you believe drinking is a problem, the more your brain craves a way to escape that stress. The key to breaking the cycle isn't drinking less—it's removing the emotional charge from your drinking. How to Have a Hangover Without the Emotional Drama The way you treat yourself after a setback determines what happens next. Self-compassion leads to curiosity and learning, which makes future change easier. The most powerful shift is learning to accept yourself, no matter what. Actionable Steps to Shift Your Mindset About Drinking: 1. Separate Your Drinking from Your Self-Worth Instead of asking, “Why did I do this again?” ask: “What was going on before I made this decision?” Drop the judgment—just gather data and learn from it. 2. Reframe How You Think About Overdrinking Overdrinking isn't a failure—it's information. You don't need to promise yourself you'll “never do this again.” What if nothing has gone wrong? What if this is part of the process? 3. Take Care of Yourself Without Punishment Instead of beating yourself up, create a self-care plan for the next morning: ✅ Drink water, eat nourishing food, and get some fresh air. ✅ Move slowly and give yourself space to rest. ✅ Remind yourself: “I am learning. I am growing. I am okay.” Homework: The next time you wake up feeling regret about drinking, pause and ask: ✔ “What if nothing has gone wrong?” ✔ “What would it feel like to be kind to myself right now?” ✔ “How can I take care of myself today—without punishing myself?” Because the truth is, it's not your drinking that needs to change—it's your relationship with yourself.

In today's episode, Colleen unpacks a common fear for those trying to reduce their drinking: What if I want more? If you've ever found yourself preoccupied with making sure you have enough alcohol to get through an event—or worrying that you shouldn't want more—this episode will shift your perspective. Instead of battling with your brain over how much you'll drink, Colleen introduces a powerful mindset shift: Ask yourself how you can support yourself to feel satisfied and complete with what you actually want. Key Takeaways: 1. The Thought “What If I Want More?” Is Just Mental Noise The fear of not enough is a learned response, not a fact. It's like an old song on the radio—just because it plays doesn't mean you have to listen. The key is to stop reacting to the thought and start questioning it. 2. How You Frame the Goal Changes Everything Alcohol use disorder thrives on negative goals (I don't want to drink too much). Shifting to a positive goal (I want to enjoy one glass of wine and feel satisfied) gives your brain a clear, achievable task. Your brain is always trying to solve for what you want—make sure you're giving it the right instructions. 3. Your Environment & Actions Matter More Than Willpower Instead of focusing on resisting more, focus on setting yourself up for success. Example: Before drinking, pour yourself a mineral water or another enjoyable drink so your brain already feels relaxed. Visualizing yourself feeling happy and complete after a single glass helps reinforce the experience before it happens. Actionable Steps to Make One Glass Enough ✔ Reframe the Question: Instead of What if I want more? ask, → How can I support myself in feeling satisfied and complete with one glass? ✔ Set a Positive Goal: Visualize yourself feeling happy with just one glass. Imagine how good it will feel to go to bed clear-headed and content. ✔ Prep Your Environment: Have a second drink option ready that isn't alcohol (like mineral water & ginger juice). Shift your focus to social connection or relaxation, not just the drink. ✔ Recognize Old Thought Patterns: When you catch yourself thinking What if it's not enough? remind yourself—it's just an old habit, not a truth. Homework:

In today's episode, Colleen breaks down why willpower is an exhausting and unsustainable way to change your behavior. If you've ever tried to “power through” not drinking or force yourself into good habits, only to fall back into old patterns, this episode will shift the way you think about change. Instead of relying on willpower to control your drinking, your eating, your productivity, or anything else, Colleen shows you how to design an environment that makes success inevitable—without the mental struggle, without the exhausting inner battle, and without feeling like you're constantly fighting against yourself.   Key Takeaways: 1. Willpower is a Finite Resource—You Will Run Out Willpower is just forced focus—it's what you use when you don't actually want to do something. The more decision fatigue, stress, or depletion you experience, the less willpower you have. If you're relying on willpower to avoid drinking at night, you're already set up to fail. 2. External Rewards Make You Feel Powerless We are conditioned to chase performance-based rewards—grades, promotions, social validation. This mindset makes success feel scarce—like you have to constantly prove yourself to earn your own power. If someone (or something) gives you power, it's not actually yours. 3. You're Not Chasing a Goal—You're Chasing a Feeling It's not about not drinking, it's about how you think not drinking will make you feel. When you place your self-worth in achieving a goal instead of designing a life that supports you, you create an exhausting cycle of struggle. Real power comes from creating a life where you feel good right now—not just after you hit some goal. Actionable Steps to Make Change Easy 1. Stop Beating Yourself Up—Start Observing Instead Instead of thinking, I need more willpower, ask: “How can I make this easier for myself?” Notice the conditions that lead to overdrinking, and shift your environment—not just your mindset. 2. Design Your Success Instead of Forcing It If your goal is to drink less, don't just “try harder”—change your surroundings. Example: Instead of sitting in front of the TV and trying not to drink, switch up your routine. Take a bath, read in a different room, go for an evening walk—anything that naturally moves you away from the habit. 3. Make Your Future Self's Life Easier Instead of spending willpower on not drinking, use it to set up a better tomorrow: ✅ Get a good night's sleep. ✅ Hydrate and eat nourishing food. ✅ Move your body and reduce stress before it builds up. The more you invest in yourself today, the less you'll need to rely on willpower tomorrow.   Homework: Ask yourself: ✔ Where in my life am I forcing things instead of designing things? ✔ How can I change my environment so I don't have to struggle as much? ✔ What if my power wasn't in my performance, but in how I take care of myself? Because real power doesn't come from proving yourself—it comes from setting yourself up for success.   Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL.

What if everything you thought you knew about “heart-healthy” cooking oils was based on outdated science and clever marketing? In this episode, I've sat down once again with Max Lugavere, and we've had an amazing conversation about the metabolic chaos that modern seed oils are silently creating in our bodies, and why the food industry's favourite oils might be driving the global rise in chronic disease. We also uncovered some actionable steps that we hope to see prioritised with the new government, and especially with the Make America Healthy Again movement.
