Podcasts about basics series

This morning I wanted to flush my kid down the toilet, it was just one of those mornings. It made me realize that while last week we had a great chat about reactive regulation, it was a bit heavy on the theory vs practical application. I'm extending that conversation today to share some real life examples of how I use these tools in my everyday life, how I used them this morning with my son. So, here's Part 6 of my Back to the Basics Series.In this episode, you'll learn:How a challenging morning with a 4-year-old demonstrates simple regulation techniques that prevent reactive parentingUsing activating breathwork to overcome the 2pm energy slump instead of reaching for caffeineNavigating grief with grounding techniques that help process emotions without becoming overwhelmedThe three ways reactive regulation tools support us: physiologically shifting our state, creating awareness and pause, and building confidence and agency3 Takeaways (about why reactive tools work). It's because…They can directly impact your physiology - Breath work, movement, temperature changes, and vision exercises actually shift your autonomic nervous system state. They help us create awareness and pause - Even if you don't shift states completely, the simple act of noticing and pausing creates space between stimulus and response. That morning with my child, I still felt frustrated, but the pause allowed me to respond intentionally rather than react automatically.They build confidence and agency - Having these tools counters the helplessness that often comes with dysregulation. Instead of "I don't know what to do," you begin to think, "I have tools I can try." This builds a sense of agency over time.Next Episode Preview: Next week, we will move on to proactive regulation and explore how creating a more regulated life sets the stage for long-term healing and well-being.-Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE discovery call for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program (HSA/FSA eligible & includes comprehensive bloodwork)Join me inside Regulated Living, a mental health membership and nervous system healing space (sliding scale pricing available)Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?

In this first episode of the “Back to Basics” series, where I dive into the core of what drives anxiety and depression: your nervous system. When you better understand how this mind-body system works you can work with it towards healing.You'll learn:→ What the nervous system is and how it functions→ The difference between regulation and dysregulation→ How stress and past experiences shape your responses→ A simple framework (the nervous system ladder) to understand anxiety, depression, and survival statesKey Takeaways:Your nervous system isn't working against you—it's trying to protect you. Your symptoms are messages, they're protective.When you understand your nervous system, you can move from self-blame to self-compassion, realizing that everything you experience makes sense.Take a moment to reflect—what stressors, past or present, are weighing down your system? Does where you find yourself on that nervous system ladder most often make more sense when that comes into view?By the end of this episode, my hope is that you walk away with a deeper understanding of why your symptoms make sense—and with a new glimmer of hope for healing.Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE discovery call for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program (HSA/FSA eligible & includes comprehensive bloodwork)Join me inside Regulated Living, a mental health membership and nervous system healing space (sliding scale pricing available)Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?

Your prospect has rejected the deal, and now you're unsure whether to try another sales tactic to change their mind or simply move on. This final episode of the Back to Basics series will guide you in overcoming sales objections and keeping your pipeline moving forward. Slow Down It's natural to do everything in your power to get a prospect to say yes. This can often lead to rushing the sales process in hopes of securing that long-awaited agreement. Instead of speeding up, take a moment to pause and breathe deeply. Begin addressing the objections raised by your prospect calmly and methodically. Taking the time to regroup prevents panic and helps you avoid costly mistakes. Express Appreciation Your prospect may have valid reasons for hesitating or declining to move forward in the sales process. Acknowledge this by expressing understanding and gratitude for their time. Next, use a softener to gain permission to dive deeper into their concerns. I explain how to do this in the episode, which will help you uncover the root cause of their objection. Don't forget to use the “5 Whys” technique to get to the heart of the issue. Schedule the Next Meeting Once you've identified their real concern and explained how you can help solve the problem, schedule your next meeting.  Also, consider creating a clear plan outlining the next steps, so the prospect knows what to expect moving forward. “To overcome objections, it comes down to having conversations, being human, and expressing your feelings. Once you're vulnerable, the prospect will feel more comfortable sharing their problems.” – Donald Kelly.

Before visiting Dubai, I did some research to determine if it was the right destination for a trip. If I hadn't taken a few minutes to do so, I could have ended up having a horrible experience.   This is why it's important for you to conduct discovery calls—to ensure you and your prospect will have a pleasant experience working together. In this episode, I share the basics of a discovery call and how to set one up properly to ensure you land a deal with your prospect.   The Purpose of Discovery Calls Discovery calls are meant to determine if you and the prospect are a good fit for each other.  Too often, sales reps focus solely on their own goals instead of the prospect's needs. If you're only focused on reaching your quota, how can you be sure your product will actually solve the prospect's problem?   Steps to a Successful Discovery Call   Confirm the Appointment: Before the day of the discovery call, confirm the meeting and ensure that the right individuals will be attending.   Build Rapport: Start by asking probing questions to help the prospect feel comfortable and begin building a relationship.   Provide an Agenda: Clearly outline the purpose of the discovery call. This conversation is your opportunity to understand what's going on with them and explore how you can provide a solution to their problem.   Pay Attention to Pain Points When the prospect begins sharing their challenges, listen with the intention of truly understanding their needs.   One of my future guests shared an active listening technique to help improve this skill. Also, pay attention to what the prospect isn't saying, as this can help you uncover problems they may not even realize they have.   “To help the prospect, you must focus on them. This is how you know that you can provide a solution for them.” - Donald Kelly.

The Dr. Terri Show is presented by Evexias Health Solutions, for more visit: https://www.evexias.com/ --- Hey everybody, Dr. Terri here! Today, we're tackling a topic that can feel like a necessary evil… exercise. Yep, the "E word" that so many of us love to avoid, but know we need. Movement is a cornerstone of wellness, right up there with nutrition and sleep, but making it a consistent part of life can be a real struggle. On the 20th episode of the Dr. Terri show, we're in part three of our Basics Series. In this episode, I'm debunking some common exercise myths and sharing simple ways to get moving that don't involve a pricey gym membership or grueling workouts. Did you know that just going for a walk after dinner can make a huge difference in how you feel? Or that our bodies actually respond better to strength training as we age, rather than endless cardio? We'll talk about why our modern sedentary lifestyle is harming our health, how little changes like taking the stairs or parking further away can boost energy and mood, and why screen time isn't just affecting our kids' brains—it's keeping us all from moving! Plus, I'll dive into how hormones play a surprising role in exercise effectiveness, and why optimizing them can make it easier to stay active, even as we age. Whether you're someone who dreads the idea of a workout or just wants some fresh tips to stay active, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you get moving, feel great, and make exercise part of your daily life.

Satan thought he had defeated Christ at the Cross only to discover that Jesus had completely flipped the tables on him. Christ is Victor. At the Cross, Jesus Christ disarmed the principalities and powers and canceled the debt against us (Col. 2:14-15). This victory is the foundation of our freedom and our authority in Christ. What does it look like to have this authority? In this series, we dig into Scripture that exposes the devil's nature and look at strategies for breaking free and staying free of the enemy and his snares. We discuss the foundational principles of spiritual warfare, specifically the legal approach that deals with permission and authority.This compilation episode covers Season 1, Episodes 39-41.

As John draws his letter to a close, he reminds the church and Christians the importance of accountability within the church and the importance of praying for one another.

John tells us in 1st John 5:13 that the purpose of this letter was so that Christians could have assurance in eternal life. So that we could be confident in our relationship with God through Jesus Christ and have no doubts about what awaits us when we die. Yet, if you were to ask many in the church "If you were to die today, where would you go" you are likely to heave answers that start with "I hope" or "I think". John warns us that there is a vast difference between our hope and thinking and having confident assurance (knowing). So how can we know for sure? Join us as we discover that our assurance is not based on wishful thinking or hope but rather facts and faith! Why is it so important to John? Because your answer will affect every area of how you live your life.

In the 15th Century, a Christian Monk with the name Johnn of the Cross coined a phrase, "The Dark Night of the Soul" to describe those times in a Christians life when they face such struggle, difficulties and trials that they feel like God has abandoned them. If you live the Christian life long enough, you will probably face a "Dark Night". In today's message we examine those Dark Nights and how they happen, what they are like and how we can overcome them.

With all the changes that are taking place in our nation and culture as we move from our Judeo-Christian values where the traditional family is foundational towards a progressive postmodern, post Christian environment - what is the church and Christian's response supposed to be? Should we wait it out and hope for the best, or maybe disengage and strive to outlast what is happening with hopes that we might find our way back to "the good old days?" As worry, fear and anxiety grip Christian parents as they think about the future their children will inherit, what can the church do?

We live in a culture where the word "love" has been hijacked by many groups and organizations as a means to justify any and all sorts of lifestyles and behaviors. This subjective view of love has, by its overuse, pretty much made the word undefinable. Yet, the Apostle John spends most of his gospel and a good section of his New Testament letters clearly defining love and in our passage for today from 1st John, he roots that definition in the fact that "God is Love"! What does that mean and why is it important for Christians to not only grasp this important truth, but to learn how we can give this same love away? How does the true, biblical definition of the Greek word for love, "Agape" help us make a stand in a culture where love means anything or everything or even nothing at all? Join us as we unpack this powerful message from 1st John 4:7-21 where John uses the word Agape 27 times to make sure we grasp this important "life-giving" truth. Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

As John continues to warn about False Teachers in 1st John 4, he builds on last week's passages on "testing the spirits" and comparing what is being taught about Jesus Christ with scripture, in this week's passages he adds the influence of the Holy Spirit. In this message we discuss how the "power" of the Holy Spirit allows us to overcome the influence of the world philosophies and discern truth from error. We also examine some common misunderstandings about what that "power" is and does in the life of a Christian. We also look at some rising false teachings that are integrating themselves into the church today like secular humanism, postmodernism, and the self-help and prosperity gospel movements.

The Apostle John again warns of false teachers and false teachings in our passage for this message. Here he goes a step further than just warning but also gives some practical test to identify a false teacher and how we can know what they are teaching is unscriptural. Listen in to discover some tools we can use to protect ourselves, our families and our churches from these false teachers that seem to be growing more prevalent in the American church.

This message continues our look at 1st John 3:19-24 and the issue of doubts. So many struggle with the assurance of their salvation and in this letter, the Apostle John explains how we can find security in our relationship with God. We break down why it is so important to recognize and utilize the privilege we have to approach God with worship and our prayer request as well as what it means to have God dwelling inside of the Christian with the Holy Spirit.

While most of 1st John is written to differentiate between those who "claim to be believers" or "say they believe" versus true believers in Jesus Christ, it also gives us some "test" to help those who are struggling with doubts about their faith to find some assurance. Most of those tests are taught in general terms like "Walking in the Light", "Love your brother" or "hate the world" but in our passage for this morning John gives three biblical truths that directly address doubt and finding peace when it comes to knowing where you stand in your relationship with God. In this message we only address the first truth, "Jesus Christ is greater than your sin" and examine how that impacts our doubts and struggles. We also discuss the idea of "deconstructing your faith" and the dangers of relying on emotions and feelings when it comes to your relationship with God. From 1st John 3:19-20.  The other 2 truths will be in next week's message.Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

All of us have defaults, they are what we fall back on when called to react to something unexpected. They are part of our old nature, who we were before we became Christians and if we are not careful, they can hinder our relationship with God and with others. So how do we change those defaults and which ones should be a priority? Join us as we examine the command for Christians to love others and how that struggle might require some new default settings. 1st John 3:11-18.Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

One of the debates that plagued the early church and continues through today is the issue of sin and how it affects the life of a Christian.  Early church cults taught that since we are under grace and forgiven, it doesn't matter if we sin, and we should not worry about it - this came to be known as "antinomian" thought and was considered heresy by the early church fathers. Yet, we still see it creeping into the church today. Paul addresses this issue in Romans 6 and in our study from 1st John, the Apostle John will deal with it in our passage for this morning. John looks at it from the standpoint of how our attitude and response to sin will always reveal our true nature. Join us to discover how we can have a proper perspective on sin and the danger it poses to the Christians life.

What does the Apostle John mean when he uses the term "child of God" to describe those who are Christ followers? You hear people say we are "all God's children" but is that scriptural? In our passage for this message John unpacks the power, privilege and responsivities that come with that name and how it impacts our personal identity. He is drawn to this discussion through his focus on the unexplainable love that God has for his children. From 1st John 2:28-3:3.Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

Join me for this podcast series on Homesteading 101: Back to the Basics. We know countless people are joining this homesteading movement, and I would like to hold the door open and welcome you in. In this series we'll be discussing the five pillars of homesteading: gardening, livestock, homestead cooking, preserving and herbal medicine. Though this series won't be a comprehensive step-by-step on how to start a homestead, it should help answer some of those basic questions many people have when venturing into a new aspect of homesteading. For more information and any links mentioned in this episode, visit https://melissaknorris.com/420. American Blossom Linens: I want to thank American Blossom Linens for sponsoring this podcast. You may think of linens and bedsheets as a basic item, but they're a staple in most homes. If you want heirloom quality sheets that will last a lifetime, American Blossom Linens is for you. I've found in many areas of the homestead, by investing in higher quality items (yes, they generally cost more up front), I inevitably save money in the long run. This is definitely true for my sheet set from American Blossom Linens. I've had my sheets for two and a half years and they're only getting softer and softer.

The fourth and final in our Back to Basics Series (following a set list of: (1)Do I Have a Problem? (2)How Did I Get Here? and (3)A Recovery Toolbox). This episode looks at what recovery looks like from a process perspective. How does it actually look as you go along? How long does it take to recover? Stef's Tetris analogy -- what if you've been working on recovery forever and your behaviors don't change? Where do the feelings of discomfort (hopelessness, despair, insecurity, anxiety, depression) go when food is not the outlet? What happens to them in recovery? The Whack-a-Mole phenomenon What if you feel hopeless a lot? How do you know if you're ready to recovery? How do you become ready? Does it matter what age you are when you recover? Can you focus too much on recovery?

As we started this new year I wanted bring us to back to some basics to help remind you of some solid truths to get you started ;in the right direction this year! Last week I touched quickly on the fact that we believe that Jesus is the son of God, He came, died and rose again in victory so we could have freedom in Him! Today quickly on of the foundational beliefs is that the Bible is God's word and truth. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. It says, All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.Hebrews 4:12- For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double edged sword. It penetrates even to the dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. God speaks to us through his word! Woot! When we trust and believe that His word is truth and stand on the promises of God then we can stand in His victory, peace, joy..you name it! So today's quick encouragement is Develop spiritual disciplines- Just like any other thing in our life, eating heathy, exercising, sleeping well, all the self care stuff…we need to develop spiritual habits that will help us grow in our walk with God!2Declare His wordThis is going to be a simple one. While you're developing your discipline of reading his word, start to declare it out loud! There is something amazing that happens when we partner with God's word and actually use it to speak life over ourselves, marriages, families, kids, work places, schools, homes etc! There is power in His word and power in OUR spoken words!If you aren't sure what scripture to declare you can start by grabbing my printable scripture cards! The link is in the description!! It's an easy way to take scripture on the or hang around your house to declare His goodness throughout your day!! Check them out now! :) Quotes from the googleWhat we say matters because our words express our emotions, what we are thinking and feeling. Those emotions are read by others, and influence how others respond to us, learn from us, reflect us. This is part of the empathy process. We typically think of empathy as a caring feeling, but that is compassion.More and more, studies are showing how the language we use can affect our minds and our bodies in both positive and negative ways. A 2020 study discovered that words of encouragement helped recipients overcome fears and improve performance at a task or during a game.Grab the awesome scripture cards! >> https://stan.store/mrsangelapitnikoff/p/30-scripture-cardsBe encouraged, challenged and blessed today!!✨Come hang with me on IG- https://www.instagram.com/mrsangelapitnikoff/✨Join our FB sisterhood!- https://www.facebook.com/groups/kingdomdaughterssisterhood✨Be more amazing and leave a review!- https://lovethepodcast.com/LoHGyj✨Want some fun free resources?

So last week we talked a bit about our beliefs as far as believing that Jesus is the son of God, He came, died and rose again so we can have freedom and victory! Reminder…HE is still on the thone of victory in your life! Keep your eyes fixed on Him friend! When He left, he left us with Holy Spirit our advocate. John 14:15-17-  “If you love me, keep my commands.  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—  the Spirit of truth. Vs 26-27-  But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.We believe in the Holy Spirit and in the Holy Trinity! I love that HOly Spirit is still here with us…leading and guiding us. Going before us. Romans 8:26-27 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.  And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.He even prays on our behalf!! Isn't that so awesome! So quick steps to help you today..Decide to give it all and Dive in! - Ephesians 3:19 says May you experience the love of the Chirist, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. (NLT)When we give Him full control and really get soaked in his presence we can understand His fullness and overflow that goodness in our lives!So practically speaking what this means is to not hold back when it comes to getting to know jesus. Make a decision to make Him number uno in your life! Jump into reading the word. Go to church with the expectation that He will move in your life. Bring worship and prayer into your home with full abandon..not holding back :) 2. Deepen your trust in HimJeremiah 17:7-8 But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. When we have confidence and trust in Him we don't have to fear or worry and will always have good fruit in our lives! I don't know about you but that sounds amazing! Grab the scripture cards here!!>> https://stan.store/mrsangelapitnikoff/p/30-scripture-cards✨Come hang with me on IG- https://www.instagram.com/mrsangelapitnikoff/✨Join our FB sisterhood!- https://www.facebook.com/groups/kingdomdaughterssisterhood✨Want some fun free resources?
