Send us a text✨ Grab Adriana's free Human Design 101 guide here!Welcome to the latest Back to Basics episode! This is a topic that I've never dug into here on the podcast, and it's one you'll definitely want to take notes on.Today we're covering Planets 101: how the planets work within Human Design and how they affect our design individually.You can find the planets on your chart in the columns on each side of the bodygraph: They're the vertical lines of astrological glyphs with numbers below each one.This is where Human Design differs from astrology in that the right column of planets corresponds to your conscious mind, AKA your personality, but the left column relates to your body, or subconscious design.And the numbers below each glyph represent the planet's pairing with a specific gate on your bodygraph (the first number) as well as one of the six profile lines (the second number).Each planet also has a specific theme or topic of focus, which you might already know from astrology. I'll be diving into these one by one, and explaining how these themes can come through in your life depending on which planet corresponds with your gates.Sound complicated? Don't worry, boo, that's why I'm here for you!I'll be giving you examples from my chart, and it will be worth it for you to have your own chart handy to follow along.So get your chart, get a pen and notebook, and press play!And if you want my 64 Gates Guide that I mention in this episode, it's available inside The Magnetic Rebellion, my supportive, spiritually curious community that gives you so much to grow from.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the significant changes in women's health, particularly during menopause, over the past few decades. She discusses the impact of lifestyle, food environment, movement, technology, and stress management on women's health outcomes. Ali emphasizes the need to return to basic health practices that were prevalent in the past, highlighting the importance of whole foods, regular movement, and effective stress management. The conversation serves as a call to action for listeners to reassess their health habits and make meaningful changes. Takeaways Women today experience different health realities than in the past. The food environment has drastically changed, impacting health. Processed foods are more prevalent and chemically laden now. Daily movement has decreased significantly over the years. Stress management is crucial for overall health. Technology has disrupted sleep patterns and quality. Returning to basics can improve health outcomes.

Jackie Cummings Koski returns to discuss the fundamental principles of financial independence (FI) and early retirement. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding FI—financial independence lets individuals no longer depend on a paycheck, offering options and freedom in life. Jackie shares insights on creating habits, starting small with savings, and the invaluable impact of community on one's financial journey. Strategies such as evaluating expenses and adopting an action-focused mindset are crucial. The duo explores essential concepts like the 4% rule, the significance of compound interest, and how everyday expenses can affect one's FI number, leading to powerful benefits over time. This episode serves as both a refresher for seasoned FI enthusiasts and a primer for newcomers. Key Takeaways: Understanding FI enables individuals to regain control over their finances and lives. Saving money is about liberation, not deprivation; small changes can yield significant benefits over time. The power of community is invaluable in the FI journey; joining groups can provide motivation and insights. Evaluating and optimizing expenses can lead to increased savings and a lower FI target. The 4% rule helps determine how much one can safely withdraw from retirement savings.

"The real magic lies at the intersection between eating, moving, and sleeping. If you can do all three well, it will improve your daily energy and your odds of living a long, healthy life,"  That's a quote from Tom Rath, author of Eat Move Sleep. The three most important factors in you becoming more productive, focused and motivated each day.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Don't skip the basics. For me, this was a hard lesson to learn. I used to stay up late to finish work or watch TV. I'd skip my exercise or allow myself to get involved in meetings I didn't really need to attend—just to feel a part of something.  And I would eat rubbish—cereal for breakfast, sandwiches and rice or fries for lunch and pizza for dinner.  And I felt it. I was tired, unproductive, and did not know where I was going. My weight kept going up and up, and every day felt like a drudge. I would wake up, feel horrible, go to work, come home, collapse onto the sofa, turn on the TV, and escape the real world.  It was easy to blame everyone else. My boss, my colleagues, my customers, the weather, where I lived, the company, etc.  Yet, it wasn't anyone else's fault. It was mine.  I had allowed myself to wallow in self-pity. That was a choice.  I cannot say there was a particular moment that changed me. It was more a gradual change.  What I learned, though, was that creating an enjoyable, exciting, and fulfilling life started with getting the basics right.  And that is what this week' question is all about. What are the basics, and why do they matter? So, with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Ali. Ali asks, hi Carl, my life's a mess. I stay up all night watching TV or YouTube videos, and then wake up late and have to rush to get to work. Then at work I feel tired and unmotivated all day. What can I do to have some better habits?  Hi Ali, thank you for your question.  The first step would be to read James Clear's Atomic Habits. It's a brilliant book, that explains how habits work, how to create your own and does all that in a simple step by step approach.  The next step is to understand some time tested basics. One of the many reasons why anyone would feel demotivated about the day is they are not clear on what is important to them.  Not everyone wants to be supremely fit and sporty and that's fine. You don't have to be. But it's equally true no one wants to die prematurely.  As Steve Jobs said in his famous commencement address in 2006 "No one wants to die... even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there" To find your purpose, or simply the motivation to jump out of bed each morning go through the Areas of Focus workbook. It's free and you can download it from my website.  This will give you the eight areas of life that should be in balance.  Those eight are: Family and relationships Career or business Health and fitness Finance Lifestyle and life experiences Self development Spirituality Life's purpose Now, when I say in balance, it means defining what each one means to you. For example, for your finances area of focus could be something as simple as “I live within my means and not over spend on trivial things” or your lifestyle and life experiences could be “I live in a clean and tidy home”. Getting these eight basics of life in balance will give you some purpose each day. Living in a clean and tidy home may mean that before you leave to go to work, you make your bed and wash the dishes.  To keep your finances in check, you may decide to do a weekly or monthly budget to track how you are spending your money.  That becomes a habit. It's a must-do.  None of these takes a lot of time, but they help to keep your areas of focus in balance.  Now onto another important factor. One of the things I've noticed about highly motivated and successful people is they have some structure in their lives.  They wake up at the same time each day, they follow a morning routine and have some structure for the rest of the day. That could be exercising at the same time each day or just going for a walk at the end of the day to decompress. Apple's Tim Cook, for example, starts his day with an extremely early wake-up, around 3:45 AM, to read emails from customers and employees before heading to the gym for an hour of exercise. He eats a healthy breakfast, gets coffee, and then begins his workday. I recently wrote about Hercule Poirot, the Agatha Christie detective in many of her novels in my weekly newsletter.  Poirot was obsessive, it's true. He was immaculately turned out at all times. Yet he had structure to his days. Breakfast was at the same time each day and he had his famous tisane (a kind of herbal drink) served in the same glass.  What draws me to Poirot is that fastidiousness. Nothing was rushed. The only things that ever bothered him was if his routines were interrupted. Perhaps not a good thing, but it did enable him to have a purpose each day. If he was taking a holiday, he refused to entertain any work. He was resting his “little grey cells” and that was the purpose of the holiday.  When he was working he was engaged completely. He actions were methodical and deliberate. I know Poirot is a fictional character, but in fictional characters there's always a grain of truth somewhere.  Perhaps Poirot's obsessiveness for order and structure, was motivated by someone somewhere.  The one thing I've learned is if you're not getting the basics right, then everything else falls apart. The basics are your daily routines. Your sleep schedule, what and when you eat and stepping away from screens and moving.  They are not difficult to do, but without one essential ingredient, you won't do them. That ingredient is self-discipline.  You need discipline to get out of bed on a cold, wet morning. You need discipline to say no to that plate of unhealthy food, and you need discipline to turn off the TV and go to bed at the right time.  I often shy away from advising people to develop their self-discipline because it's hard to do. And these days I find many people have simply given up and just tell themselves they have no self-discipline and that they never have had.  They will look back in their lives to find examples and use that to prove it to themselves. Ignoring the fact that there will also have been examples of them being disciplined.  It's complete rubbish for anyone to say they lack self-discipline. It's innate and inside all of us. But, like a muscle, if you don't use it, it will weaken. But never disappear entirely.  Strengthening your self-discipline isn't particularly difficult. As Admiral McRaven said in his Texas University Commencement address—begin the day by making your bed. Is that so difficult? It's one thing, but it's the start of strengthening your self discipline.  Now you mentioned that you want better habits. What would you consider to be “better habits”?  That would be the place to start.  I've never been a good sleeper—as a consequence I fell into the trap of believing it was “just the way I was wired”. Of course, that's not true.  In January I made a commitment to myself I would be in bed no later than midnight. It was a struggle, but I persisted. Now, nine months later, I'm in bed consistently at midnight and my sleep is better than ever.  It took a bit of self-discipline for the first week or two, but soon it was a habit.  Changing your sleep habit is straight forward. Calculate how much sleep you need, then decide what time you want to wake up, and work backwards.  So, if you discover that you need seven hours sleep and you want to wake up at 7:00 am, then you need to be in bed by 11:30 pm. (It's not like we instantly fall asleep when we get into bed)  Another thing you mentioned, Ali, is you lack motivation at work. That may be a bigger issue. If work is demotivating you, it's also draining you of purpose. That's where I would spend some time analysing. When your purpose is drained, that has a big effect on your mental energy.  What is it about your work that is demotivating?  If it's just a stage—we all go through that at times—what can you do to find some purpose. Perhaps you could set yourself a target. Sell X amount of products, solve a particularly difficult problem for your team or do something to improve your own workflows and processes. If it's bigger than that and it's about the job itself, then it may be time to begin looking at alternative jobs. It doesn't mean you have to quit your current job, what it means is you begin looking at alternatives.  What kind of work would motivate you?  It's perfectly okay to accept that you made a mistake in your choice of career. That does not mean you are stuck with that mistake. You can change careers at any time. I've been a hotel manager, car salesperson, a lawyer and teacher.  The hardest part for me was accepting that the legal profession was not for me. I'd spent six years in school and training, but after graduating and working in a law office, I soon found myself hating it.  I felt I was in a day release prison. I had to sign in at 9:00 each morning and was not allowed to leave until 5:30 pm. During that time it felt I was chained to a desk only being allowed to move to go to the bathroom.  It was hard to accept I had made a monumental mistake. But the thought spending the next twenty-five years stuck behind a desk was terrifying. I had to change my career. That was when I came to Korea—I told myself it would be for one year and during that time I would think about my future.  I was lucky, I fell in love with teaching, loved the way of life in Korea and met some amazing people. At the end of the first year, there was no way I was going to go back to the UK. So, when my employer in Korea asked if I wanted to sign an extension to my contract, I ask, where's the pen?  Twenty three years later, I'm still here. Doing what I love day in day out.  Sometimes, we have to do the unthinkable. I remember my friends telling me I was mad to give up a career in law to become a teacher in a foreign land. But I knew deep down I was not cut out to be a lawyer.  So, Ali, take a step back. Ask yourself what needs to change. Do you have the basics right? Are you getting enough sleep, moving enough and eating right?  If not, focus your attention there. Build some habits around those three areas.  Then look at your career. Are you happy? If not, what alternatives could you look at. Remember, you do not have to quit your job to do this. Perhaps you decide to go back to school and learn a new skill, or simply to change the way you work—you processes and workflows.  I should add, you do not have to rush this. Just getting the basics right will bring you better focus and energy. From there you can decide what to do next that will bring some purpose back into your life.  I hope that has helped, Ali. Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening.  It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.

In this solo episode, Lindsey dives into the world of peptide injections, with a focus on the controversial “Wolverine shot” (BPC-157). She explores what peptides are, why they're trending in gyms, wellness clinics, and med spas, and how they're marketed for muscle gain, fat loss, recovery, and anti-aging.Lindsey discusses the science (and lack thereof), FDA concerns, and potential risks like overdosing, contamination, and unregulated use. She closes by reminding listeners that while peptides are intriguing, true health and longevity still come from foundational practices—quality sleep, nutrition, strength training, and meaningful human connection. Listen in to learn more : 01:03 – Why People Use PeptidesClaimed benefits include lean muscle gain, faster recovery, testosterone support, fat loss, and anti-aging. However, the evidence base is thin.01:18 – BPC-157 and Other PeptidesBPC-157: derived from stomach peptides, believed to speed up tissue healing and reduce inflammation.Tesamorelin: studied for HIV-related fat reduction.Sermorelin: targeted for sleep and recovery.CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin: growth hormone–related stacks are popular among bodybuilders.02:28 – Lack of Scientific EvidenceMost data comes from animal studies or small trials, not significant human clinical research.03:55 – FDA ConcernsThe FDA flagged four peptides in 2022; that number jumped to 26 by the end of 2023, showing rapid regulatory scrutiny.04:42 – Anecdotal Use by Doctors and CEOsSome report success with peptides like BPC-157 for injuries, but even they acknowledge the lack of robust science.05:35 – Risks of Overuse and ContaminationOverdosing risks: especially when combining peptides with testosterone, leading to organ enlargement.Contamination/mislabeling: Many peptides sold are unregulated, increasing health risks.06:15 – Back to Basics for LongevityDespite the hype, proven health strategies remain the same: sleep, exercise, protein, reducing sugar, strength training, and social connection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lindsey-elmore-show--5952903/support.

You track your steps. Maybe even your calories. But do you know what it really costs to live each month?Your personal cost of living is one of the most important numbers in your financial life. Without it, you may be spending in ways that don't reflect your values—or your faith. Let's explore why this number matters, how to calculate it, and how it ties into faithful stewardship.The Basics of StewardshipNo matter your income level or stage of life, the same principles apply. There are five things you can do with money:Earn itLive on itGive it awayOwe it to othersGrow it through saving and investingToday, we're focusing on “living on it”—what it really takes to cover your day-to-day needs. And remember: it's not just rent and groceries. A true cost of living includes less frequent expenses too—insurance premiums, car repairs, or even Christmas gifts.Why Tracking MattersInflation may be slowing, but most of us are still paying more than before. The government reports a national “cost of living,” but that number doesn't reflect your personal circumstances. That's why tracking your own cost of living is crucial—it provides clarity, and clarity is the foundation of stewardship.A practical tool for this is the FaithFi app, which helps you track your income, giving, saving, and spending—all in one place. Here's where to start:1. Begin with GivingFor believers, giving isn't just another line item. It's the first priority—an act of worship and trust in God's provision.2. Add Savings GoalsWhether building an emergency fund, saving for retirement, or preparing for a large expense, set targets you can track monthly.3. List Your ExpensesExpenses fall into three categories:Fixed: Rent, mortgage, insurance, subscriptions.Variable: Groceries, gas, utilities.Irregular: Property taxes, holiday gifts, car repairs. Spread these out by assigning a monthly average.When you add it all up, you'll have a clear picture of your total monthly needs—your true cost of living.If your expenses exceed your income, don't panic. The process reveals problem areas so you can adjust—cutting back on non-essentials, reevaluating fixed costs, or pausing discretionary spending. Stewardship isn't about guilt—it's about faithfulness.Proverbs 27:23–24 says, “Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever.” In modern terms: know your financial condition and manage it wisely.Living With Clarity and FaithTracking your cost of living isn't just a budgeting exercise. It's about living intentionally, aligning every dollar with God's purposes. Needs will shift, life will happen, but clarity allows you to walk with confidence, generosity, and purpose.That's why I encourage you to download the FaithFi app today. With FaithFi Pro, you'll gain access to tools, articles, Bible studies, and daily encouragement to help you manage money with wisdom. Find it at FaithFi.com or in your app store.So, do you know your personal cost of living? If not, there's no better time to find out.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 67 and single. Should I start taking Social Security now, or wait until age 70 for the larger benefit? I'm also worried about whether Social Security will even be around in the future. On top of that, I worked many years for a nonprofit that provided housing, so my reported income was low. Now I'm earning more—will that help increase my Social Security amount?I'm retired and already drawing Social Security, but I also have earned income from pastoring two rural churches. With that income, am I allowed to contribute to a Roth IRA or another type of retirement account?My husband and I don't have much debt besides our mortgage and a 0% interest loan we used for a heat pump. Should we pay off the heat pump early, add more to our emergency fund, or focus on paying down the mortgage?My online savings account was compromised, and someone tried to transfer money out. What steps can I take to protect myself when using online accounts?
