The 12th season of The Skeptical Shaman podcast is here, and this second, two-part episode highlights the undeniable creative and spiritual power of a well-defined Alter Ego. Jesse James, aka Billy Purgatory, literally wrote a series of stories about his demon-fighting alter ego, breathing some very real life into a very real aspect of himself. But Billy Purgatory isn't just a literary anti-hero: he's also Jesse's Villain Era shadow aspect, offending sensibilities left, right and center as he embraces his shamanic self and fights the armies of hell. In this two-part conversation, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats with Jesse James, aka Billy Purgatory, all about how he's coming to grips with a world drenched in both  some very real (and often spooky) Woo and some real-deal anti-humanism in the form of the technocratic elite seeking to replace humans, human creativity and even our connection to spirituality with dumb, derivative machines.Jesse is dedicated to remembering the before times, building a veritable Library of Alexandria of recent, peak culture to remind us all of what we once had: freedom, fun and imagination. He's also seeking ways to resurrect his alter ego, perhaps on the pages of new stories or in his own life, as he explores the world of Woo with an eye to the pits of Hell!Rachel's LINKS:TOTEM Readings Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachPlease support the Sponsors of The Skeptical Shaman Podcast:Buy The Business of Woo book HERE: https://a.co/d/0g7EFJmMTOTEM + PUCK HCKY Merch Drop: https://puckhcky.com/collections/totemThe TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXTOTEM Spiritual Transformation Coaching: https://www.totemreadings.com/coachingTOTEM Business of Woo Mentoring: https://www.totemreadings.com/business-of-wooJesse's LINKS:Substack: https://substack.com/@jessejamesfreeman   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@billypurgatory        Please note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

You think you need another diet. But what if what you really need is a new identity to step into? In this episode of Midlife Badassery, I'm joined by Christie and Kathy—two women using alter egos to make weight loss, reinvention, and the messy middle of becoming her feel practical, powerful, and even fun.Christie shares how Sovereign Phoenix helped her leave “golden footprints,” regulate her nervous system, interrupt old choices, and build evidence of the woman she is becoming—even while life was seriously life-ing.Kathy shares her evolution from Phoenix to Queen, why the Queen doesn't need to keep starting over, and how curiosity, ritual, community, and one more aligned decision helped her step into a bigger life.This isn't about pretending to be someone else. It's about practicing being the woman you're becoming.In this conversation:Why information and another diet are rarely the whole answerHow an alter ego creates a bridge between your current identity and your future selfWhy weight loss becomes a byproduct of identity-aligned choicesHow to use “What would she do next?” in real lifeNervous-system regulation, meditation, and changing automatic reactionsWhy community matters when life knocks you off routineWhat to do if alter ego work feels too woo, silly, or make-believeHow to stop waiting for the scale before living your lifeYOUR NEXT MOVEAsk yourself: What would she do next? Then take one small action that leaves evidence of who you're becoming.Want to build your own alter ego?

This week on Hurdle, Emily sits down with Olympic and Indoor World Champion Julien Alfred. The track and field star opens up about navigating the mental ups and downs of elite competition, moving away from home at age 14 to pursue her dreams, and learning how to protect her inner peace amid massive international success and public attention. Julien shares how she overcomes self-doubt, handles the pressure of representing Saint Lucia on the global stage, and why giving herself grace has been key to her growth both on and off the track. IN THIS EPISODE Navigating Mental Rough Patches: Julien reflects on starting the season in a difficult mental space, questioning her abilities, and how stepping back helped her reset and realign. Overcoming Loss & Finding Drive: How losing her father at a young age shaped her resilience and continues to inspire her athletic journey today. Handling High Pressure: What it’s like to carry the expectations of an entire country while learning to focus on her own personal growth and goals first. Protecting Inner Peace: Why Julien steps away from social media and media noise to surround herself with a strong support system that values her for who she is, not just what she accomplishes on the track. The Move at Age 14: The immense sacrifice of leaving Saint Lucia as a teenager for Jamaica to train, and how that leap of faith prepared her for college and professional success. Game Face vs. Real Life: The contrast between Julien’s calm, peaceful personality off the track and her focused, "all business" alter ego on race day. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "I am just such a resilient person, a strong person, that if I'm down for a short time, I know I'm going to find my way to get back to the top." "It's okay to give yourself grace. It's okay to mess up sometimes. That's part of being human." "Small island, big things—you can just do whatever you put your mind to, no matter where you're from." "On the track, I'm a different person. It's all business... There's nothing to smile about until I cross that line first."

Episode 116: Reinvent Yourself After Divorce: How to Build Your Alter Ego with Quinn Otrera

A Note from James:I'm doing a big experiment in my life.I recently started taking a GLP-1—tirzepatide, one of the so-called weight-loss drugs. But I didn't start taking it specifically for weight loss. I had some blood work done for the first time in a long time, and there was a small indication that I might be pre-diabetic. My doctor suggested trying tirzepatide, and I wanted to understand what I was getting into.The first person I wanted to talk to was Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators. Charles has been taking a GLP-1 for about two years, and he says it has changed his life. He has lost around 45 pounds, but what interested me most was not just the weight loss. It was the habit change.Charles explains that GLP-1s can quiet what people now call “food noise”—the constant background pull toward eating even when you are not actually hungry. When that noise quiets down, something interesting happens: you get a window where your old habits become more malleable.That is the key idea of this conversation. The drug may help you eat less, but the bigger opportunity is that it gives you a chance to build new routines around food, exercise, alcohol, sleep, and identity. And if you build those habits while the window is open, those habits may continue even after you stop taking the medication.We talk about food noise, cravings, the habit loop, keystone habits, stated versus revealed preferences, placebo effects, alcohol, sleep, exercise, blood sugar, identity, and whether GLP-1s are a lifelong drug or a tool for changing who you become.Episode Description:James is at the beginning of a GLP-1 experiment. Charles Duhigg is two years in.In this conversation, Charles explains what he has learned from taking tirzepatide and from studying GLP-1s through the lens of habit formation. He describes the first phase of public understanding around these medications as weight loss. Phase two, he argues, is about behavior change.The central concept is “food noise.” Charles describes it as the background craving that turns a basket of fries into an almost automatic behavior. You may not even notice the noise until it goes away. Once it quiets, the cue that normally triggers the habit loop weakens. That creates a temporary window where new habits can be built.James and Charles use the GLP-1 experience to revisit the basic habit loop: cue, routine, reward. They talk about why habits feel automatic, why willpower is often the wrong tool, and why successful behavior change depends on identifying the cue and replacing the routine while still satisfying the underlying reward.Charles also introduces the idea of GLP-1s as a catalyst for keystone habits. Eating less can make exercise easier. Drinking less can improve sleep. Better sleep can improve focus. Focus can improve work. One changed habit can set off a chain reaction.The conversation then becomes more philosophical: Who are we if one part of the brain says “I want to be healthy,” while another part of the brain keeps revealing different preferences through action? Charles explains the difference between stated preferences and revealed preferences, and how repeated behavior can shift identity.This is not a conversation about taking GLP-1s casually. It is a conversation about using a medical intervention deliberately, under appropriate medical guidance, as a chance to change the patterns that shape daily life.Editorial Note:This episode discusses prescription medications, including tirzepatide and semaglutide, as well as personal experiences with GLP-1 drugs. It should not be treated as medical advice.GLP-1 medications can have side effects and risks, including gastrointestinal symptoms, dosing concerns, and contraindications for some patients. They should be used only under the supervision of a qualified medical professional. Any decision to start, stop, adjust, or combine medications should be made with a clinician.James and Charles also discuss personal experience, habit change, appetite, alcohol cravings, and identity. Individual responses to these medications vary.What You'll Learn:Why Charles believes GLP-1s are entering “phase two”: not just weight loss, but habit change.What “food noise” feels like—and why people often do not notice it until it disappears.How GLP-1s may create a temporary “habit window” where old routines become easier to change.Why the habit loop—cue, routine, reward—matters when trying to change eating behavior.Why people often regain weight after stopping GLP-1s if they have not built new habits.How keystone habits can create a chain reaction across food, exercise, alcohol, sleep, and focus.Why micro habits may work better than a full lifestyle overhaul.How stated preferences and revealed preferences shape identity.Why eating less can make exercise easier, and why exercise can reinforce healthier choices.Why tracking behavior may be essential while taking a GLP-1.How placebo, alter egos, and rituals may influence identity and performance.Why the goal is not just losing weight, but becoming the kind of person whose habits support health.Timestamped Chapters:[03:36] James Begins His GLP-1 ExperimentJames explains his early experience, including confusion between medication side effects and a bout of COVID.[04:16] Charles's Two-Year ExperienceCharles describes taking tirzepatide, losing roughly 45 pounds, and why the biggest changes came months into the process.[05:38] Phase One vs. Phase Two of GLP-1sPhase one was about appetite and weight loss. Phase two, Charles argues, is about habits that can last.[06:42] The Habit WindowHow GLP-1s can quiet food noise and create a period where eating habits become more malleable.[07:21] COVID, Side Effects, and Early SignalsJames explains why his first few weeks were hard to interpret and why he is still figuring out what the medication is doing.[09:00] What Food Noise Actually Feels LikeCharles uses the example of a basket of fries to explain cravings, cues, and automatic eating.[09:55] The Habit Loop: Cue, Routine, RewardCharles revisits the framework from The Power of Habit and applies it directly to food cravings.[10:42] How GLP-1s Interrupt the CueThe fries are still there, but the craving does not activate in the same way.[11:40] What GLP-1s Do in the Body and BrainCharles explains what researchers know about gastric emptying, glucagon-like peptides, and what remains uncertain about the brain.[12:43] What Happens When You StopWhy the medication alone may not be enough if old habits return after discontinuation.[13:36] Pleasure, Food, Alcohol, and AnhedoniaCharles discusses reduced pleasure from food and alcohol, while separating clinical findings from broader claims about losing joy in life.[15:54] Why Charles Stayed With ItEarly changes were not dramatic weight loss, but a growing feeling that eating became more of a choice.[16:40] Eating as a Keystone HabitHow changing food behavior can trigger changes in exercise, alcohol, sleep, focus, and work.[19:31] Why Structure MattersCharles explains why tracking and guided habit systems can help people see patterns they might miss on their own.[20:32] What Changes Physically Over TimeSlower stomach emptying, feeling full longer, more stable blood sugar, and gradual changes in appetite.[21:43] Stated Preferences vs. Revealed PreferencesWhy one part of the brain says “I want to change,” while another part watches what you actually do.[23:22] Identity Change and Habit FormationHow repeated behavior can teach the brain, “I am the kind of person who eats this way” or “I am the kind of person who exercises.”[24:16] Placebo, Belief, and Becoming the Person You Want to BeJames and Charles explore whether placebo effects may work partly by changing identity.[28:07] Alter Egos, Athletes, and RitualsThe conversation turns to Kobe Bryant, Michael Phelps, and how pre-performance routines can cue a desired identity.[29:15] Start With Micro HabitsCharles explains why small behavior changes can compound more effectively than trying to overhaul an entire life at once.[30:40] Charles's First Micro HabitsDrinking less, eating fewer fries, stopping when full, and choosing healthier meals without relying on willpower.[31:24] Feeling Full for the First TimeCharles describes the surprising experience of leaving food unfinished because his body had had enough.[33:03] Why the Stomach ShrinksThe medication does not shrink the stomach directly; eating less over time changes how much food the body expects.[33:21] Why Slower Stomach Emptying HelpsJames asks why a weight-loss drug would slow digestion instead of speeding metabolism.[35:00] The Cumulative EffectWhy the most visible changes often appear after several months, once habits, body size, and identity begin reinforcing each other.[37:03] Is a GLP-1 a Lifelong Drug?Charles explains what research and personal experience suggest about stopping, restarting, and maintaining results.[38:56] James's Health MotivationJames explains that his motivation is not primarily weight loss, but a desire to respond to possible pre-diabetic markers.[39:36] Why Attitude Is Not EnoughCharles argues that wanting to be healthy helps, but habit change still requires structure.[40:02] What Changed at HomeCharles explains how his family's food did not need to change, even though his own choices and portions did.[41:02] Weight, Body Composition, and Pre-DiabetesWhy blood sugar, insulin resistance, fat, and muscle matter more than the scale alone.[42:38] Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and What Comes NextJames and Charles compare different GLP-1 medications and discuss how newer drugs may work through multiple receptors.[44:27] Will Charles Stop Taking It?Charles explains why he may eventually discontinue the medication, but values having more choice over weight and behavior.[45:24] Blood Work, Snoring, and Health MarkersCharles describes improvements in lab results, cholesterol, snoring, and overall health.[46:31] Who Are We, Really?James and Charles talk about identity, brain chemistry, sugar, alcohol, cravings, and the substances that shape behavior.[48:32] Choosing the Person You Want to BecomeCharles explains how better self-awareness can help people change habits deliberately rather than being pulled by cravings.[49:00] Tracking the ExperimentCharles advises James to track food, feelings, and behavior so he can notice changes that might otherwise be invisible.Additional Resources:Charles Duhigg Official WebsiteThe Power of Habit by Charles DuhiggSupercommunicators by Charles DuhiggNoom's GLP-1 Companion / Habit Formation AnnouncementFDA: Zepbound Approval for Chronic Weight ManagementFDA: Concerns With Unapproved GLP-1 Drugs Used for Weight LossBMJ: Weight Regain After Stopping Weight-Loss MedicationTodd Herman — The Alter Ego EffectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

La robotica entra sempre più concretamente nella pratica clinica. In questa puntata di Obiettivo Salute risveglio scopriamo ALTER-EGO, il robot umanoide protagonista di una sperimentazione che coinvolge IRCCS Maugeri Milano, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia e Università di Pisa. Progettato per affiancare il personale sanitario, ALTER-EGO può accompagnare i pazienti, facilitare la comunicazione e contribuire alla continuità delle cure anche dopo la dimissione, senza sostituire il rapporto umano tra medico e paziente. Ne parliamo con la dottoressa Rachele Piras, neurologa dell'IRCCS Maugeri Milano, e con Manuel Catalano, ricercatore dell'Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) e responsabile del progetto ALTER-EGO, per capire come l'intelligenza artificiale e la robotica possano diventare strumenti concreti al servizio della medicina e dell'assistenza.

Topps is changing the sports card game forever by shipping UNSEALED boxes to combat scalpers—but is it actually going to work? Welcome back to Cards on the Table, and today we are breaking down the biggest market-shifting headlines hitting the hobby this week!First up, Topps has dropped a bombshell announcement: factory plastic wrap is being completely removed from upcoming Topps Chrome Update Basketball Mega Boxes to discourage immediate resale by scalpers. We debate whether this unsealed strategy protects collectors or completely destroys product value.Next, the highly anticipated checklist for the first-ever NBA Rookie Debut Patch Autographs (RDPAs) is finally here! With Fanatics officially running the NBA license, the chase is on for Cooper Flagg, Ace Bailey, and Dylan Harper grails. We look at who will have the most coveted patch outside of Flagg and how the non-auto versions will hold up.Plus, Michael Jordan just signed a massive "legacy partner" deal with Upper Deck that includes putting 23 autographed, factory-sealed 1986 Fleer Basketball packs into 2026 Goodwin Champions! We react to this legendary partnership and what it means for Upper Deck's future.Finally, we play a round of Overrated or Underrated with the exploding trend of World Cup sticker albums in the U.S. market, and whether Fanatics should keep the tradition alive when they take over the FIFA license.

Chef Ferrell Alvarez has helped shape modern Tampa dining through Proper House Group, the team behind Rooster & the Till, Ash, Alter Ego, Gallito Taqueria, and Dang Dude. But Episode 204 is not just about restaurants. It is about the life that built the chef. Ferrell sits down with Carl Fiadini for one of the most personal conversations in Walk-In Talk history, tracing his path from a fifteen-year-old dishwasher to one of Florida's most respected chef-owners. The conversation moves through mentorship, fatherhood, grief, survival, rebuilding, and the responsibility that comes when people believe in your dream before there is proof it will work. From the early influence of Marty Blitz and Maryann Ferenc at Mise en Place, to building Rooster & the Till with reclaimed wood, used furniture, and $60,000 raised through relationships, Ferrell's story is a reminder that restaurants are never just built with money. They are built with belief. Featured dishes from Ash include boquerones with herb oil, chili oil, fresh lime, and house-made focaccia, along with a look at the creative culture behind Proper House Group. This episode is about Tampa, resilience, leadership, and what it means to give more than you take.

What if the reason you're still stuck isn't that you lack motivation, discipline, or confidence...What if it's because you're still making decisions as the old version of yourself?In this episode, we're diving into one of the most powerful identity-shifting tools in psychology: the Alter Ego Effect.The woman you want to become already exists. The question is: have you given her permission to take over?In This Episode We Discuss:• What an alter ego actually is and why it works• Why your current identity is creating your current results• The difference between your old self and your future self• Main Character Energy vs Side Character Energy• How to create an alter ego that feels real and believable• Why clarity is the secret weapon of personal transformation• The daily habits, standards and behaviours that shape identity• Why imposter syndrome is often proof you're growing• The simple question that can change every decision you make• How to use your alter ego to make better choices around food, movement, relationships, boundaries, money and self-respectBecause transformation doesn't happen when you lose the weight. It happens when you become the woman who would naturally create those results.The body follows the identity. The results follow the standards.And your alter ego is the bridge between where you are now and who you're becoming.If you loved this episode, remember to hit SUBSCRIBE.WATCH ON YOUTUBE https://youtu.be/Yi4w3WG_lss Swipe my exact weight loss protocol for losing 30+kg https://kyliepax.com/freecourse/Instagram: @kylie_pax  Email: hello@kyliepax.comBOMBSHELL BLUEPRINT WEIGHT LOSS FOR EMOTIONAL EATERS

Welcome back! After the rigmarole (kids, drivers, people, food); Ron has a superhero alter ego trivia test for us; Chris wonders what we would have done other than Fire and EMS.

In this solo episode, I share one of my favorite metaphors for understanding how desistance actually unfolds in practice — because it rarely looks the way most parents hope it will. Many parents carry a fantasy version of desistance in their heads: a tearful moment of confession, an apology, a sudden reversal. That's almost never what happens. What actually happens is slower, messier, and far less dramatic — but still hopeful, if you know what you're looking at.The metaphor I use is the hermit crab. When a hermit crab outgrows its shell, it must find a new one before abandoning the old one. That terrifying moment of exposure between shells is something the crab instinctively avoids. For your trans-identified child, the alter ego identity is that old shell — it provides psychological structure and protection, answers the question "who am I?", and is doing real work for them even when it's causing harm. Desistance doesn't happen until a new shell exists to replace it.I walk parents through what those building blocks actually look like — moments of femininity, embodiment, taste, competence, nurturance, and authentic connection — and why it's so important not to connect those signs directly to gender. The way you respond to those building blocks either reinforces them or demolishes them. I also expand the definition of identity-building beyond gender expression to include real-world skills, relationships, experiences, and sources of self-esteem. The goal isn't just for the old shell to fall away — it's for your child to become someone who doesn't need a label to answer the question of who they are.This episode doubles as a bonus lesson in ROGD Repair.

In this conversation, I sat down with Kim Jenkins from Empowering Speech Services (https://www.empoweringspeechservices.com/meet-kim)  to talk about how she's used the frameworks from Language Therapy Advance Foundations (https://drkarenspeech.com/languagetherapy/)  along with the gestalt language processing stages, for reluctant readers, and AAC users. We also talk about how important it is for clinicians to think flexibly with how they apply frameworks in therapy so they can pull from multiple sources to come up with their own personal protocols that work for their caseload. We also chat about other topics such as what “alter ego” we want to emulate when we're going through a challenge, social media strategies and mindset, our dogs, and how to draw parallels between language therapy, clinical practice, fitness, tips for learning how to do pull-ups, and other areas of life. Kim Jenkins is a neurodiversity-affirming speech therapist who is passionate about helping neurodivergent children and their families flourish.  Empowering Speech Services was built on the idea that authentic and meaningful communication can be achieved by focusing on a child's strengths, meeting their sensory needs, following their lead, and empowering family members in the process. Serving the Milton and Alpharetta areas of Georgia, she takes the time to truly get to know her clients, their joys, interests, unique strengths, and individual challenges. In this conversation, we discuss:✅ How Kim uses semantic features and syntactic study with AAC users✅ Using the “Essential 5” framework from Language Therapy Advance Foundations with students who use a lot of scripting and gestalts✅ Engaging a reluctant reader literacy and vocabulary work✅ Parallels between life, language therapy, fitness, and social media marketingLearn more about Kim's private practice on her website here: https://www.empoweringspeechservices.com/Visit her on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@empoweringspeechservices@UCSeGnUyaf6NBHJFBuoUFUTA Visit her on Instagram @empoweringspeechservicesConnect with her on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-jenkins-a0288796/Check out her TeachersPayTeachers store here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/empowering-speech-servicesI mentioned the following previous De Facto Leaders Podcast interviews:EP 205: Using the Essential 5 to Build Vocabulary and Syntax in Secondary School (with Amy Baugh) here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-205-using-the-essential-5-to-build-vocabulary-and-syntax-in-secondary-school-with-amy-baugh/EP 140: Creating an Intentional Career and Life with Alter Egos (with Meg Niman) here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-140-creating-an-intentional-career-and-life-with-alter-egos-with-meg-niman/EP 154: Therapy Session Structure, Narrative Language, and Commentary on Gestalt Language Processing here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-154-therapy-session-structure-narrative-language-and-commentary-on-gestalt-language-processing/Also mentioned in this episode:”Stories that Stick” by Kindra Hall here: https://www.storiesthatstick.com/Sarah Brashears from Social Mogules: @socialmogulsIn this episode, I mentioned Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives speech pathologists a scalable framework for building language skills needed to thrive in school, social situations, and daily life.

In fact, a UC Berkeley study of Title I schools found that those partnering with Playworks had significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates. Further, Mathematica research demonstrated that Playworks schools spent 27% less time transitioning from recess back to learning, saving teachers valuable instructional time. These results are possible for your students, too.

If you're a woman over 50 on a weight loss journey who has tried every program, every diet, every coach — and you're still not there — this episode is for you. This is the midlife transformation story nobody talks about. Not another weight loss tip. Not another mindset hack. This is how I created an alter ego, stepped into her, and lost over 100 pounds — and how that identity shift became the biggest personal growth catalyst of my life. If you're in midlife and feeling like you've hit a wall, if the weight loss feels impossible and you're quietly giving up — I see you. I was you. And this is your midlife reset.

One of the largest and most intriguing blocks of teaching in the Gospel of John is the upper room discourse in chapter 13-17. This block of time begins with the washing of the disciples’ feet (13) and ends with Jesus’s high-priestly prayer (17). In the middle chapters (14-16), we encounter Jesus preparing his followers for his departure. They still didn’t quite understand what was to happen with his arrest, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Even so, Jesus laid out teaching that would make sense for them after he was gone. Much of that teaching centered on the spirit of truth, which was to come after Jesus ascended to the Father. In what follows we’ll explore three main theories about the holy spirit in John 14-16: (1) the spirit is a person other than Christ; (2) the spirit is a personification; and (3) the spirit is Christ’s alter ego in his heavenly ministry. After considering the first two options, I’ll explain why the last one–that the spirit is a way of talking about Christ’s activity among us while he is in heaven–fits the best. I originally presented this content in Australia where I had an unfortunate run in with a leech. I had told this story earlier to this audience and mentioned in the talk. I had gone on a “bush walk” and picked up the blood sucker without realizing it. After it had its fill, it released and I continued to bleed for hours, not realizing that leeches inject and anticoagulant. In this presentation, I refer back to this incident, so now you know what I was talking about.   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts This talk was originally presented at a Unitarian Christian Alliance (UCA) event held at the Tops Conference Centre in Stanwell Tops, Australia on March 28, 2026.

I just set new goals… and I'm not gonna lie—this next level feels BIG. And..That's how I know it's GOOD stuff! Like, next level scary shit!In this episode, I'm taking you inside my real-time goal setting after our MEfirst event—what I'm going after, what's been holding me back, and how I'm stepping into the next version of me.We're talking: 

I've used alter egos my whole life - from basketball to everyday responsibilities. Sometimes self-awareness means knowing how to shift into the version of you that gets things done.Stay connected:* YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@shannoncasonstoryteller* Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shannoncason/* Twitter - https://twitter.com/shannoncason* Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ShannonCasonTalks* TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@shannoncasonSupport the stories:* Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/shannoncason* CashApp - https://cash.app/$ShannonCason* PayPal - https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/homemadestories1* Merch & more - https://www.shannoncason.com/Supporters get a mention on the next Homemade Stories Podcast!

What if the biggest thing holding you back… is the version of you that you're trying so hard to be? In this episode of Makes Sense, Dr. JC Doornick sits down with performance coach Todd Herman to challenge one of the most common ideas in personal growth—the pursuit of your “true self.” Instead of endlessly trying to fix flaws or overcome fear, Todd introduces the Alter Ego Effect, a powerful, research-backed framework used by elite athletes, top performers, and high-level CEOs to step into an identity that performs when it matters most. This conversation dives into the neuroscience of cognitive priming, self-distancing, and symbolic embodiment—revealing how consciously designed identities can override hesitation, quiet internal interference, and unlock confidence on demand. You'll discover why authenticity, as it's commonly understood, can actually keep people stuck, and how creating a performance identity allows you to operate at your highest level without being weighed down by doubt or pressure. We also explore what this means in today's rapidly evolving world, where AI is taking over logic-based tasks, and the real human edge lies in intuition, leadership, and emotional control. Whether you're building a business, navigating uncertainty, or simply trying to close the gap between your potential and your performance, this episode offers a practical and transformative approach to showing up differently—on demand. If you've ever felt like you know what to do but can't seem to execute when it counts… this shift might be the one that finally makes sense.

TRIGGER WARNING -  5:38 - 6:04There were 2 witnesses today - brothers with one being a game warden and the other a Texas Ranger. We go through Tanner's arrest, and a lot of body cam footage and interview room footage where Tanner lies non-stop about what happened to Athena, went to a bamboo forest where he says he left her body but didn't, and we learn of his alter-ego, Zero. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-lies-and-alibis--4447192/support.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout  - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

Stassi and Tay are officially settling into their Stassi with Tay era—and yeah, it kind of feels like the whole world is watching. Taylor fully leans into “dad mode” with a hilariously relatable (and slightly unhinged) confession she drops on Stassi about the one thing she had to finish… while her wife was literally in labor. Meanwhile, Stassi breaks down her nonstop red carpets—why it's not rude to be early, the too-tight gown that almost caused a nip-slip—plus a rave about the Wuthering Heights premiere and Margot Robbie completely stealing the show. Finally, the girlies dish out their hot takes on Blake vs. Justin and dive headfirst into the Hilary Duff vs. Ashley Tisdale mom-group mess.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:PlutoTV:Pluto TV is your portal to watch free movies and TV shows anywhere, on any device.
