Confidence is everywhere right now. It's in affirmations, vision boards, therapy sessions, and motivational quotes. But none of that means anything if you haven't built proof that you can actually do hard things. In this Habits & Hustle episode, we get into why confidence can't be affirmed, it has to be earned, and why fitness builds confidence faster than therapy. I break down how real self-belief is built through reps, discipline, and physical evidence, not just positive self-talk. We also talk about why boring is what actually works and the power of “do it anyway” when motivation disappears. If you're ready to stop consuming confidence content and start building it, tune in. What's Discussed (02:25) Why intense workouts spike hunger and quietly sabotage fat loss (04:32) How strict meal timing reduces food noise and overeating (06:59) Why people gain weight in happy relationships (08:47) GLP-1 drugs and the role of “food noise” in weight control (11:40) Why severe calorie restriction backfires and slows metabolism (15:34) Why fitness builds confidence faster than therapy (16:42) Confidence is earned through hard reps, not affirmations (22:29) Why boring daily discipline is the real success strategy Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

This bonus episode is another guided meditation from inside The Regulated Woman. (See Episode 174 and Episode 177 for the previous phase meditations.)This one is designed specifically for your ovulatory phase… your season of peak energy, confidence, charisma, and connection.Instead of a traditional seated meditation, this is a walking meditation, created to match the naturally elevated, outward-facing energy of ovulation. During this phase, your vitality is higher, your communication is clearer, and your presence is magnetic. This practice helps you harness that energy while staying grounded, steady, and fully connected to yourself.Strap on your tennis shoes, step outside (or hop on a treadmill), and let your movement mirror the power already rising within you.TOPICS WE EXPLORE: • Matching meditation style to your cycle (movement vs. stillness) • Grounding high energy so it feels powerful, not scattered • Walking as a tool for nervous system regulation • Affirmations that anchor strength, opportunity, and self-trustPOINT OF THE EPISODE:Ovulation isn't about pushing harder… it's about embodying what's already there. This walking meditation helps you channel your natural vitality, confidence, and social strength in a grounded way so you can show up powerfully without disconnecting from yourself.MENTIONED:•Her Rhythms — a program inside The Regulated Woman • Episode 174: [Bonus Episode] Menstrual Phase Meditation • Episode 177: [Bonus Episode] Follicular Phase MeditationAre you loving it?

In today's episode, Gina talks about the importance of embracing imperfection, particularly in contrast to the common tendency of holding yourself to standards of perfection. Giving yourself permission to be yourself and not judging yourself based on your achievements can do wonders for your sense of self-worth and mental health.Stillpoint Fridays is my once-a-week Friday note — a slower, more personal reflection that's different from what I share on the podcast.

You'll never reach it. —Salvador DaliChapters0:27 Embracing Imperfection10:37 Affirmations for Self-Compassion14:59 The Pursuit of Wisdom Over PerfectionSummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we delve into the concept of wabi-sabi, exploring how embracing imperfection can help alleviate the pressure of striving for perfection. The discussion begins with a reflection on the increasing societal demand for perfection, which can manifest as anxiety and feelings of inadequacy within us. We draw parallels to the music industry, where many artists are gravitating towards the raw authenticity of analog sounds versus the polished finish of digital production. This longing for imperfection invites us to question whether our pursuit of flawlessness is truly beneficial.The conversation encourages listeners to shift their perspective on imperfection, viewing it not as a failing but as a natural part of the journey of self-improvement. It posits that by letting go of the unattainable goal of perfection, we can open the door to self-acceptance and appreciate our experiences as ongoing, evolving processes. Our minds are profoundly shaped by our thoughts and where we choose to focus our attention, suggesting that by embracing imperfection, we can foster a more forgiving inner landscape.I emphasize the relief that can come from giving ourselves permission to simply be ourselves without the weight of perfectionism. The episode provides practical tips on recognizing our limits and establishing boundaries to support our mental health and well-being. It's crucial to incorporate self-care into our daily routines rather than sidelining our health for the sake of achieving more. By identifying our thresholds and maintaining those boundaries, we foster an environment in which we can thrive without succumbing to the pressure of needing to achieve perfection.#WabiSabi, #AnxietyRelief, #Mindfulness, #EmbraceImperfection, #MentalHealthMatters, #SelfLove, #SelfCare, #PersonalGrowth, #Perfectionism, #WellnessJourney, #PositiveAffirmations, #InnerPeace, #StressManagement, #MentalWellness, #SelfCompassion, #JapaneseWisdom, #Healing, #Authenticity, #GrowthMindset, #GraceAndGratitude, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #NervousSystemRegulation, #VagusNerve, #CalmMind, #OvercomingAnxiety, #PanicAttackRecovery, #MentalHealthAwareness, #EndTheStigma, #EmotionalWellness, #SelfHealing, #InnerCalm, #AnxietyWarrior, #Breathe #Gina Ryan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When observing comic books, the miracles come in big or small ways. This week on the podcast, we're discussing a resurrection we previously thought unimaginable. Stephen R Bissette, who gained legendary status working on titles like Saga of the Swamp Thing, crafted his masterpiece in the mid-nineties. Tyrant was meant to run fifty issues or more, but only four saw print before disaster struck the industry, and Bissette pulled up stakes, leaving comics to focus on family and a more financially stable situation. We've spent years searching for Tyrant in the dollar bins, picking up an issue here and there. As much as we love Bissette's work on Swamp Thing, Tyrant represents the artist at his purest, most thematically forward. Even at four issues, Tyrant is a masterpiece, expressing the agony and beauty of life, as we follow a Tyrannosaurus Rex from conception to birth. It's easy to mourn the story we did not get, but we must also celebrate the story we did. It is enough, and thankfully, we're not the only ones who thought so. Chris Stevens, of the newly formed Lighthouse Press, convinced Bissette that now was the time to re-release Tyrant in both a Complete Edition and a Deluxe Artist Edition. Stevens also hired cartoonist Jim Rugg (who recently shot a Stacks video with us) to oversee the production of these new additions. Together, they'll hopefully bring a massive new readership to Tyrant and give this lost masterpiece the recognition it never got. We're extremely happy to have Stephen R Bissette, Jim Rugg, and Chris Stevens on the podcast this week. Together, we place Tyrant in the context of its creation and explore why now is the time for its resurrection. We discuss the themes Bissette excavates in Tyrant and where the story was going before he had to pull the plug. We also discuss the heartbreak of pulling the plug and all the humanity within and without its pages. The 90s comic book scene. You had to be there. The Image Revolution. Pouches. Rob Liefeld and Spike Lee making Levi's commercials together. The Death of Superman was going to pay Brad's way into college somehow. The distribution implosion. The speculator flight. Devastation. Apocalypse. Something our earthbound dinosaurs also understood quite well. Please recognize the miracle that is Tyrant's resurrection by visiting the Lighthouse Press Kickstarter page and signing up for notification of its official launch.

What if everything you've been told about building confidence as a business owner—all the affirmations, the "manifesting," and the visualizations—is actually the very thing sabotaging your business growth? In this episode, you'll learn the science behind confidence, why “faking it” and affirmations often backfire, and what your brain is really looking for before it allows you to act. You'll also learn a simple daily practice that helps reduce hesitation, improve decision-making, and change how you show up as a business owner.

Is calm something you have to earn, or is it already waiting for you beneath the noise of the day? In today's episode of the Daily Meditation Podcast, we dive into a restorative 10-minute practice centered on the theme of Rest for the Day. As we navigate our busy lives, we often treat peace as a finish line we only reach once our to-do list is empty. Today, we shift that perspective. Through a focused guided meditation and the powerful affirmation, "Calm is my natural state," you will learn to set down the day's momentum and return to your internal baseline of stillness. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "10-minutes of Calm: Meditations to Deal with the Uncertainty of Daily Life" episodes 3472-3478. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to 10-Minute Calm—a gentle daily meditation series created to help you feel steadier, clearer, and more at ease in just ten minutes. Each episode is simple, warm, and practical—designed for real life on busy days, anxious days, and emotionally full days. Through a supportive weekly arc—Release, Rest, Ground, Protect, Nurture, Balance, and Embody—you'll practice calming techniques you can return to anytime, including breathwork, affirmations, mudras, chakra focus, visualization, and a weekly review. You don't have to force relaxation or "fix" anything—this series is about building the skill of coming back to calm, one breath at a time. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - The Calm Creator Challenge For the next 7 days, choose one tiny "carry cue" from each episode (a phrase, one slow exhale, shoulder drop, hand-to-heart, etc.) and practice it three times a day—morning, mid-day, and evening. The goal isn't to stay calm all day; it's to build the habit of returning to calm in real life. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: VISUALIZATION: Emotional Release Day 2: AFFIRMATION: "Calm is my natural state." Day 3: EXTENDED EXHALE BREATH: Inhale 4, exhale 6 (or 4/7 if comfortable) for 8–10 rounds. Day 4: PRITHVI MUDRA (Earth Mudra) Touch ring fingertip to thumb tip, other fingers relaxed. Theme: steadiness, grounded calm, "I am here." Day 5: CHAKRA FOCUS: First chakra to feel grounded Day 6: CALM FLOW MEDITATION: combining the week's techniques Day 7: WEEKLY REVIEW MEDITATION: closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

“Cos my sorrows did not drown my friend, they always learned to swim…” I’ve been taking a lot of early baths – in the middle of the night when the electricity is cheaper, and I created a playlist for that – over 300 tracks. As I was lying there I thought ‘this would make a good podcast’ and here we are – recorded in my bathroom! Paradoxically that’s where I used to record my podcasts not to disturb John, annoyed by the ever-present echo – now it’s a stylistic choice. Talking of John – he’s famous! He’s featured in a book about Switchboard (formerly Lesbian and Gay Switchboard) as he was one of the co-founders. One of the many things he did…and I am so proud. Halfway through reading it, and the book is great – but also you can also hear his voice on famous The Log Books podcast – Series 4, episode 1. Hearing his voice again was wonderful but also bittersweet. Ugly-cried when it came on. So I’ve done readings across the podcast from a few bits of the book around him. It has nothing to do with baths, but given it’s his bath in a weird olive/grey shade (which made recently fixing a hole in it with Milliput easy actually, it’s that sort of weird grey/green!) and we used to have baths together when I was lot thinner. I talk about that, the music, the state of the world (Iran So Far Away) and how I am glad that John doesn’t get to see the rise of the Fourth Reich, Icy Dumb and Dumber edition.
