Podcasts about bbr

Well hey there, hello to ya today. Welcome to this special episode of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show, the podcast that takes God at His word, encourages listeners as they walk with the Lord, and boldly proclaims that all God's promises prove true. This is something of a re-launch of the podcast, as I have not recorded a new episode in about five months.  A lot of varying reasons for the long break, but now the show is back. So, let's jump right in!   We're living in an era when believers need a whole lot of encouragement, and when those who are considering Christianity want an honest look at what it means to be a Christian, a follower of Jesus. This episode is aimed at both of those goals. Followers and curious seekers alike. Let me read from the New Testament book of Luke, chapter 13, about four verses. Starting in verse 23, through verse 28. I'm reading from the Amplified Bible, so you can compare it to your preferred translation or read along in your Bible or in case you want to make note of different translations and versions and do some Bible study on this passage later on. All of those are really good things, by the way. Don't just take someone's word for it when it comes to what the Bible says, and of course that includes me. Read it for yourself anytime you want to, fact check me like crazy. Let God be true and every man, every woman, every person be a liar, Romans 3 verse 4 says. When it comes to teaching the Bible, we should be very comfortable having our sources checked. If anyone teaching God's word is not comfortable with that, something is very, very wrong. And in those situations, you may want to … run. (Not really kidding around with that advice.)    Here's what this passage says, verbatim, in the Amplified Bible:   Luke 13:23-27 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition 23 And someone asked Him, Lord, will only a few be saved (rescued, delivered from the penalties of the last judgment, and made partakers of the salvation by Christ)? And He said to them, 24 Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. 25 When once the Master of the house gets up and closes the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door [again and again], saying, Lord, open to us! He will answer you, I do not know where [[a]what household—certainly not Mine] you come from. 26 Then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets. 27 But He will say, I tell you, I do not know where [[b]what household—certainly not Mine] you come from; depart from Me, all you wrongdoers!   Okay, so if you're not familiar with the Amplified Bible, it is wordy. Because the Greek and the Hebrew of the New and Old Testaments often carry a depth of meaning in each word that is tricky to fully convey in the English language, different translations word things differently. The Amplified basically takes all the meanings of the text in the original language and adds them, usually in parentheses, which is why what I just read to you may have sounded choppy. Also, the Amplified capitalizes words like He, Him, Mine, etc. when it is talking about the Lord. And there are a few capitalized words in the text I just read.  Were I to leave out those extra words that are in parenthesis, it would read like this: And someone asked Him (that's a capital, so someone asked Jesus this question.) Lord, will only a few be saved. And He said to them, Strive to enter by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. When once the Master (and that is capitalized, so it's talking about the Lord) of the house gets up and closes the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open up to us! He will answer you, I do not know where you come from. Then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets. But He will say (again, He is capitalized, so the Lord will say), I tell you I do not know where you come from; depart from Me, all you wrongdoers!    This is weighty. This is no joke. Jesus' answer to the question He was asked is heavy. This is serious stuff! “Will only a few be saved?” was the question. The ESV says, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” Kind of a yes or no question. But Jesus was so good to expound upon this, to go beyond the short answer and give us all this important information as His answer. Now, back to studying the Amplified (and yes, it does require studying. Not sure when Bible “study”, in air quotes, began to not be studious. Study, the word tells us that it takes some effort, focus, and intention. If your Bible study group is not studying the Bible, you could be a person to kind of change that, to step off the merry-go-round of quick and easy answers, making a joke instead of really digging into the text, leading a group that goes through the Bible and studies it rather than maybe a small group that gets gossipy and talks about fashion and somewhat trashy shows on streaming. Y'all know what I'm talking about, and if you are new to Christianity and are shocked that I'm saying this, that's okay. A faith that can't hold up to some examination is, well, perhaps more cult-like than faith-in-Jesus like. Women's small groups are notorious for not doing enough actual Bible studying. New believers, keep searching for groups that do real Bible study and if you can't find a group, start a group.) So as we study this text in the Amplified, we find the Greek for the word saved in verse 23 has some depth to it. Lord, will only a few be saved? Rescued, delivered from the penalties of the last judgment, made partakers of the salvation by Christ. Yeah, a lot more depth there. This is about the very end of time, the last judgment. And that day, it's coming for all of us. If we say we love Jesus but we live like we're never going to stand before Him and have our lives examined, then we're probably not living for Him in our everyday lives. And notice it says made partakers of THE salvation by Christ. That little three letter word T-H-E…there is only one salvation and it is by Christ. That is almost certainly the most important thing I will ever say on the podcast, honestly. When it says strive to enter by the narrow door, the Amplified gives added depth by saying force yourself through it. Force yourself through the narrow door, the doorway to eternal salvation. Force yourself through it! Maybe, just maybe, this concept of raising your hand from your seat during a mega-conference altar call and then never opening your Bible, spending time in prayer, following Jesus as His disciple, just maybe that is nothing like forcing yourself through the narrow door. You know, we live in the very era when Jesus' return is at hand, and forcing ourselves through the narrow door that makes us partakers of THE salvation by Christ is the clarion call for this hour. Now is the time, my friend. This decision for Jesus should not be put off until another day. It shouldn't be put off for another hour! This is the time!  In this passage, when Jesus describes them knocking at the door again and again, like they are trying to beat that door down, the same narrow door that they did not force themselves through when they had the opportunity, trying to gain entry by incessant pounding on that door…and what will He say on that day? How will He respond to their knocking again and again? He'll say He does not know where they come from - from what household, because it's certainly not His. That's repeated twice, in verses 25 & 27. And in between, in verse 26, they implore Him by stating that they ate and drank in His presence…oh this is very convicting. How often are we “in His presence” and thinking that's good enough? They'll say, “You taught in our streets.” Is it going to get Him to open the door if you remind Him that He was taught about in your local church? Think about what this passage means for your own life. Are you ready for this day? Because it's coming, ready or not. I've said before that we need to get ready, be ready, and stay ready. Force yourself through that narrow door. Be on the inside when He shuts that door tight.    Just a few more thought I'd like to share on Luke chapter 13.  Verse 23 makes it super clear that this is about where a person will spend eternity. How many people in the year 2025 never even give a single thought to their eternal destination? We've been so desensitized, so conditioned to only think about this life, the here and now, focus on immediate gains, quick fixes, the current struggle and how to make that struggle end, and our own selves and “living in the moment” that thinking about forever does not really happen for so many people. Are you living for the moment, or are you living for forever? Does anyone stand on their platform, or ask their loved ones, if they know for certain they will be rescued, delivered from the penalties of the last judgment, made partakers of the salvation by Christ? Do I do that? Lord, what do You want to change in my heart, mind and life so that my focus turns from the temporal to the eternal, and so that I speak life - eternal life - over others?    Jesus' reply here,  and He minces no words, as was His norm, is: “Strive to enter by the narrow door”. I'm hitting on this again to share something that is important. The definition of strive is to “make great efforts to achieve or obtain something” - “struggle or fight vigorously”. It implies great exertion against great difficulty and specifically suggests persistent effort. Synonyms include “labor, toil, struggle, compete, exert oneself, and endeavor”.  Even a quick evaluation of those words reveals the heart behind Jesus' answer to the critically important question asked by an unidentified person in the thirteenth chapter of Luke. The Lord is telling us that getting on and remaining on the narrow road is anything but easy-street. And yet, is that what American Christianity so often teaches? Don't they make it seem as if a five-second prayer is all it takes in order to enter into eternal life with Jesus (think of those “Every head bowed and eye closed, and raise your hand and pray along with me if you want to be saved today” kinds of church moments…). But what if that's not exactly true? What if that is, say, step one of a long walk on the narrow road? And if the door itself is narrow, and we must force ourselves through it, as the Amplified says in verse 24, is that happening for most of us? Are we being discipled, are we discipling anybody else, are we students of the Word of God, are we spending time in prayer and listening for what the Holy Spirit might say to us? Have we forced ourselves through that narrow door? Have we encouraged anyone else to force themselves through the narrow door? Do we know the signs of the times well enough to recognize that there are just a few grains of sand left in the hourglass of all time?    Let me read this to you: Luke 14:25-35 New Living Translation The Cost of Being a Disciple 25 A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, 26 “If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. 27 And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.  28 “But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? 29 Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. 30 They would say, ‘There's the person who started that building and couldn't afford to finish it!' 31 “Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him? 32 And if he can't, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away. 33 So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own. 34 “Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? 35 Flavorless salt is good neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown away. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!”   Have you thought of discipleship like this? That being Jesus' disciple means you hate everyone else by comparison? This is serious stuff. Far more intense than is normally spoken about by pastors or preachers or speakers or the books down at the Better Book Room (Wichitans, you remember the BBR?) Do we hate our own life in contrast to being His disciple? Thinking about these words of Jesus' is a good reset for me. Why am I so continually concerned about my issues, my fears, my life, my stuff? It's just gross, and it is not fitting for a disciple of the Lord Jesus. Because if I don't hate my own life by comparison to being His disciple, then I cannot be His disciple. Point blank frankness right there. And if I do not carry my own cross and follow Him, I cannot be His disciple. So, how am I doing at hating my own life by comparison to His discipleship and am I carrying my own cross and following Him? It's a self test we all need to take every day.  Jesus says not to begin the path of being His disciple until we count the cost. Shouldn't that be mentioned during the altar call? I don't exactly know what this should look like, in every church or at every event, but I know enough to know that most of what takes place absolutely does not fit the model Jesus laid out for us here. We're getting it all wrong! And if we tell people it's all good, you raised your hand and never forced yourself through the narrow door, never counted the cost, never hated your life, never picked up your cross to follow Him…we are lying to them! He says we cannot become His disciple without giving up everything we own. I no longer have ownership rights over my life or my stuff or my health or my money or over people. Because I've giving all that up to become His disciple. Salt is good for seasoning, Jesus says. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? How salty are you? Flavorless salt is good neither for the soil or the manure pile. Am I salty or am I not? Lord, give us ears to hear, so that we can listen and understand! Am I a student, a learner of Jesus? Do I understand that it's more than a head nod, a hand raised decision to follow Him - it's more than saying yes to His invitation. It's picking up my cross and following Him after saying yes. It's moving onward with Him, it is not standing still while He moves onward.  Think about carrying your cross. I think, maybe here in western culture, we don't exactly get the implication. It's difficult. It costs us something, every day that we carry it. But where are we carrying it to? Where is this carrying of my cross leading me? To a crucifixion, that's the only logical end point. Am I crucifying my flesh? Am I dying to myself, daily, of my own willing choice and volition, of course depending on the Spirit of the Living God within me because no one can do that on their own, but am I willing, does it ever even cross my mind? Am I picking up my cross today, carrying the heavy and thing closer and closer to my own death to self? Or am I not? Anybody that ever said Jesus' teachings were easy, well, they need to read the words in red again. Taking up our cross is a one-way journey. It's forcing ourselves through that narrow door.  Jesus carried a cross, and so do His disciples, His followers.  What kind of follower am I? Am I following but ready to peel off and go my own way when it gets uncomfortable for me personally? Have I counted the cost and decided that yes, I really can afford to follow Jesus?  In the following, the Lord does the fixing and the cleaning up of our lives. This is not Jesus saying we need to get it together before we follow Him. He says what He says, and it's not that. He simply needs His followers to know it's not the easy way out, the life of Christians. But He'll do His work of making us new as we follow Him day by day. It's costly either way, right? Follow Jesus? There's a cost. Reject Jesus? Oh, there's also a cost. That choice, well, it costs a pretty penny. Let Him become the owner of all we have. Our children, our finances, our health, all of it. It's only safe with Him anyway, so it's the best available choice, but we still need to make the choice consciously, weighing it out, understanding it. Let's not be like slimy used car salesmen who get people to pick up what we're laying down based on implications that this is the easy way to live out your days and then, wham, the bottom falls out and they feel like they got sold a lemon.  And if you say you follow Jesus, you profess to follow Him, but you lose your flavor somewhere along the way…you are no longer distinct enough to be clearly known as one of His disciples, well, that's the time you're fit for nothing but to be thrown out. A Christian should look like, think like, speak like, behave like, have the nature of Christ. Salt ought to be salty. A Christian ought to be like Christ Jesus.    The promise in Luke 13 and 14 is so worth it, though, isn't it? It's eternal life for now and forever. It's being on the inside when the door is closed. It's knowing that life, it's going to be hard at times, especially as we get nearer to the return of Jesus, it's going to get more intense, and following Him with saltiness may come with some costs that are not common to us here in America, but are becoming common at an astounding rate. But the hard life that ends in death without Jesus, that's the wide road, the wide door. The road ends somewhere for all of us. It's His promise that by picking up our cross, carrying it daily as we follow Him, staying salty all the way until the end, we get to go through the narrow door. Carry your cross today. Force yourself through the narrow door. Because He'll keep all His promises, and what's coming is going to knock your socks off. “He who endures to the end shall be saved.” Those are Jesus' words to us in Matthew 24:13. Indeed, that's a promise He's going to keep.   Thanks for joining me for this re-launch episode. I'm so grateful to be back on the podcast, and if this encouraged you or challenged you, would you share it with someone today? Lord bless you, and I'll see ya back here next time. Bye bye.

In this episode of PING, APNIC Chief Scientist Geoff Huston shares a story from the recent AusNOG in Melbourne and connects it to measurement work at APNIC Labs, exploring how modern IP flow control manages ‘fair shares' of the network. At AusNOG 2025, Geoff attended a talk by Lincoln Dale of Amazon AWS titled “No Packet Left Behind: AWS's Approach to Building and Operating Reliable Networks”. The presentation examined how AWS scales its data centre networks, highlighting massive investments in high-speed routers and switches to support both global internet services and the vast flows of traffic between servers and other Amazon resources. What AWS doesn't do is rely on highly complex protocols like Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), or other modern traffic engineering techniques unless absolutely necessary. Instead, they use a radically simplified, on-chip model of data management, pushing as much processing as possible into a single VLSI circuit and minimizing the amount of ‘smart' work in the network. The question is: How can simplifying the IP stack to this extent actually work? Geoff has long been sceptical of higher-layer protocols that try to manage bandwidth reservation and shaping. He recalls an earlier attempt by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) to signal congestion with Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), a mechanism that still exists in the protocol stack and now underpins new bandwidth management approaches such as Apple and Comcast's ‘L4S'. APNIC Labs has measured how the wider Internet responds to ECN signals using an advertising-based model, and the results suggest this approach struggles outside tightly controlled, ‘walled garden' networks. He contrasts this with advances in flow control through Google's BBR, now in its third version, which refines the aggressive, bandwidth-seeking behaviour of TCP window management.

In this Evergreen edition of the Big Buck Registry's Deer Hunt Podcast, we're reaching back to one of our most impactful early episodes — a 2013 conversation with Dean Vanier, founder of Northwoods Common Scents. Dean has spent over 30 years perfecting his approach to whitetail communication using 100% pure scent — and in this masterclass, he shares how hunters can use scent not as a gimmick, but as a tool for understanding and influencing deer behavior. We cover: Mock scrapes, drag rags, and the concept of the "virtual deer" Why buck urine is underrated early in the season Dean's scent layering strategy through all phases of the rut How scent helps you “talk” to deer using their own instincts And how the industry has changed since this episode first aired — including CWD laws, synthetic scents, and ATA/RHA certification Dean's methods are still converting skeptical hunters to this day — and his passion for woodsmanship through scent makes this one of the most timeless episodes in our archive.

On this episode, we discuss the winners and Losers of the NFL Draft, Pickens gets traded to the Cowboys, NBA Playoffs, Knicks vs. Celtics, NHL Playoffs, PGA, JD's Bites, BBR's, and so much more!

Send us a textToday we're talking feelings, you know, those things we try so hard to ignore, shove down, or pretend don't exist? “I'm fine… EVERYTHING IS FINE!!!” Sound familiar?This week, I'm diving into emotional regulation—not just to deal with stress, anxiety, or overwhelm, but to actually allow ourselves to feel the feelings. Because ignoring them doesn't make them go away. It just leaves us stuck, disconnected, and sometimes even overwhelmed by things we don't fully understand.Here's what we'll cover:Why dissociation is a survival tool—and why it can't be a long-term strategy.The power of naming your emotions (Dr. Peter Levine calls it “Name It to Tame It”).How having a bigger emotional vocabulary helps you understand yourself and communicate better.Recognizing the sensations in your body—what they're telling you and how to respond.Why it's okay to feel scared, hurt, or even joy that feels too big to hold.I'll share my own journey of learning to stop running from emotions and start making space for them, even when they're messy, uncomfortable, or downright scary. Because feelings are just information. They don't control you—they guide you.We'll also talk about tools like emotional vocabulary wheels, noticing body sensations, and calming your nervous system so you can better respond to what your emotions are asking of you.It's not about getting rid of your feelings. It's about deciding what you'll do with them.get in there and give it a listen! Support the showResources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter

Send us a textThere's a lot of buzz about nervous system regulation—but what does it actually mean? It's not just about being calm and zen all the time. In this episode, we dive into what a regulated nervous system really looks like and why it's not the same as avoiding emotions or stress altogether.We cover: The difference between dysregulation and emotional expression.What it means to be stuck in hyperarousal (high gear) or hypoarousal (low gear).The concept of the "window of tolerance" and how it varies for everyone.Practical tools for down-regulating when you're overstimulated and up-regulating when you're running on empty.Regulation isn't about forcing yourself to “be happy” or “just relax.” It's about understanding what your nervous system needs and using intentional practices to find balance. Whether you're stuck in traffic, overwhelmed by daily stress, or feeling disconnected, these tools can help you show up as your best self.You can't live your best life stuck in dysregulation. Get in there and give it a listen! Support the showResources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter

It's about understanding the systems that influence our health, the choices we can make within those systems, and the small, consistent actions that build resilience, self-trust, and joy.This episode challenges the oversimplified "just do it" narratives in wellness culture and highlights the beauty of incremental growth.

Send us a textIn this post-election episode, we dive into the tension many of us are feeling in the U.S. today.I share my own struggle, wondering how people I encounter may have voted against basic human rights, and wrestle with what it truly means to stand for “liberty and justice for all.”We'll explore confirmation bias, how algorithms reinforce our beliefs, and how this divides our shared reality. With our country polarized, each of us often sees our beliefs as the undeniable truth, which complicates our capacity to connect—even with loved ones who hold opposing views. So, how do we move forward?In this episode, we focus on what we can control. From prioritizing joy to creating meaningful community connections, I'll discuss how we can resist through intentional focus on the world we want to see. Along with some nerdy brain science things, I explain how tuning our focus can help us align with our goals and reinforce our values, especially when our actions radiate out to impact those around us.Through community, rest, and our own quiet rebellions, we can find the strength to thrive—not just survive... a reminder that showing up as our best, fullest selves is an act of resistance and resilience. Key Points:Navigating post-election tension and personal reflections on patriotism and justiceUnderstanding confirmation bias and the impact of algorithms on our perceptionsHow the RAS (Reticular Activating System) can help us focus on positive changeResisting hopelessness by prioritizing joy and communityShowing up for our communities by being the strongest versions of ourselvesGet in there and give it a listen! Support the showResources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter

Send us a textToday I offer a reminder that the goal of regulating your nervous system is not to stay calm all the time, but to be able to bring your nervous system into a flexible state where you are able to go back and forth from all the emotions and states of being human and not get stuck in one. Regulating your nervous system is something we do throughout the day with nervous system hygiene, those small check ins with your body and just paying attention to what you feel like … which is what we often disregard and dedicate our attention outward. I am at a loss for any real words today, so I offer this exercise to help resource and regulate.

Send us a textIn today's episode, we're exploring how both external and internal environments shape our stress and anxiety—and how we sometimes unknowingly contribute. From the physical spaces we occupy to the content we consume, every aspect of our environment contributes to our mental and emotional state. But while some factors are beyond our control, many of our responses to these environments are within our power to change.We'll discuss:External Environment: How safe, supportive, and nourishing are the spaces around you? We'll consider the impact of surroundings like work, neighborhood, and social media, and examine how these affect us on a physiological level.Internal Environment: What thoughts, beliefs, and self-talk are you cultivating? Your “diet” isn't just food but also what you read, watch, and listen to. How much of this is truly serving you, and where might it be adding to your stress?The Illusion of Control: Why worry feels like a solution but often traps us in a loop, and how to differentiate between productive action and unhelpful rumination.Taking Action & Finding Control: The small, conscious steps you can take to create a safer, healthier internal and external environment—from deep breaths to choosing different habits, thoughts, and surroundings.Get in there and give it a listen! Support the showResources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter

Send us a textThis episode is a follow up to the last, we're looking further into the root causes of anxiety and giving a different perspective that will actually help us treat these symptoms.  Instead of viewing anxiety as a disorder, let's call it what it is, a response from your body to internal or external stressors. This shift helps break down the myth that anxiety is a permanent state or something inherently wrong with you.We discuss how unmanaged stress, habitual thought patterns, and physical responses build up over time, creating symptoms that your body uses to signal a need for change. Anxiety is not something you "have"—it's something you experience, and with the right tools, you can address it.In this episode we cover: Understanding anxiety as a response, not a disorder.How stress accumulates and manifests as anxiety.The importance of learning to communicate with your body's signals.Shifting from “why” questions to “how” questions to break the anxiety cycle.How to differentiate between real and imagined threats.Practical strategies for addressing the key drivers of anxiety, including worry, overwhelm, avoidance, trauma, and self-judgment.By building knowledge, skills, and taking consistent action, you can create lasting change.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're talking about the super fun experience of waking up with anxiety and how to handle that. Anxiety is often misunderstood as a disorder, but it's actually a natural fear response—your body's way of asking for change, for you to do something, for action. I'll get into how stress overflow triggers anxiety and how your perception of stress can either heighten or reduce its intensity... and how your actions change your perception. It's a fun little loop. Key points covered:Anxiety is a signal, not a flaw—it's your body's brilliant response to perceived threats.Understanding anxiety as a request for action, not a problem to suppress.How low stress tolerance can distort your perception of situations, increasing anxiety.Practical tools for immediate relief.The power of curiosity—shifting from a fear-based to a curiosity-based relationship with anxiety.Expanding tolerance for discomfort by sitting with sensations instead of avoiding them.Empowering you to take control of your responses.By the end of this episode, you'll have actionable tools to work with anxiety.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're diving into why not everything in life needs to be a struggle. Sometimes, we bury ourselves in complexity without even realizing there's an easier way. Elevated stress can narrow our focus, hijacking our brain's capacity for rational problem-solving. It's important to recognize that we don't need to make things harder than they have to be—life is challenging enough already.We'll also talk about the importance of picking one thing to prioritize. You can't do it all at once, and trying to follow every wellness trend or daily routine can overwhelm us instead of helping. There's so much information out there—some good, some not so good—and the pressure to keep up can be immense.Instead of trying to multitask or jump between different practices, it's more effective to pick one tool to work on and practice consistently. Building habits takes time and intention, and it's all about finding what works for you. Just because something works for others, or is even scientifically proven, doesn't mean it's the best fit for your needs. It's okay to put down what doesn't resonate.Join me as we explore letting go of unnecessary struggle, choosing simplicity, and finding the one thing that brings ease to your daily life. Let's focus on what works for you and build your personal toolkit from there.Takeaways:Not everything has to be a struggle—let it be easy.Elevated stress can limit our ability to see options clearly.Pick one practice to focus on instead of trying to do it all.Wellness is about what works for you, not following every trend.Building habits takes practice, consistency, and time.Remember: You don't need to do everything at once.

In this episode, I share my deep anger, sadness, and fear after the execution of Marcellus Williams, man in Missouri, despite evidence of his innocence and racial bias in the trial. I didn't release this episode yesterday because those emotions deserved space to be felt. This wasn't just another day; it was a reminder of the systemic brutality and indifference to life that echoes throughout our society.We live in a world where those in power do not seem to care, where our petitions and protests often feel futile. This execution highlighted the many other injustices we face daily: police brutality, mass shootings, and the state-sponsored violence that seems to carry no consequences. Today, I'm not offering a silver lining. I'm sharing my grief, my anger, and my fear because these feelings are real, and they deserve space to be. But I also want to clarify why I do this work—why I talk about emotional regulation and self-care. It's not about numbing ourselves to the horrors of the world or pretending they don't exist. It's about creating the internal space we need to remain human in the face of it all. When we can regulate ourselves, we have the capacity to experience joy, to build meaningful connections, and to fight for the change we need.We need each other. This society's fixation on individualism is harming us, making us believe we don't need community, but that couldn't be further from the truth. How we treat ourselves directly impacts how we treat others, and this is the foundation of a connected, compassionate society.Give it a listen for moreSupport the showResources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter

In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most powerful tools we have at our disposal: breathwork. It's been a while since we've discussed the tools we use, and I want to revisit the one that I consider my anchor, both personally and in my work with clients. Breathwork is the most direct line of communication we have with our autonomic nervous system, and it's one of the most effective neurohacks available for managing stress, improving concentration, and enhancing overall health—and it's completely free.Key Takeaways:The Power of Breath: How controlling your breath can help balance your internal state, activate your vagus nerve, and signal your body to shift into rest-and-digest mode.Internal Solutions: Breathing techniques allow us to turn inward for solutions, using our natural resources rather than relying on external means like medications or numbing behaviors.Training Your Nervous System: By focusing on the breath and diaphragm movements, you can influence your autonomic nervous system, helping it respond better to stress.Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic: Understanding the balance between the fight-or-flight response and the rest-and-digest system, and how engaging the parasympathetic pathway can calm your mind and body.Breathing Patterns as Communication: How your breathing patterns, mood, and mobility communicate the safety your body feels, especially first thing in the morning.Education on Breath: Despite its importance, breath is often overlooked due to a lack of education. Yet, it's fundamental to managing stress and taking conscious control over our state of being.Historical Context: Controlled breathing techniques, such as Pranayama in yoga, have been used for centuries to influence health and well-being.Breathing and Emotions: How the cycle of stress and breathing can trap us in a loop, and how proper techniques can break that cycle.Immediate and Long-Term Benefits: Breathwork isn't just for immediate relief; it's also beneficial for chronic issues like depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and helps rewire the brain's stress response.Breathing Facts: Over-breathing can decrease brain blood flow by 40%, affecting areas responsible for memory, self-awareness, and time perception.Dysfunctional Breathing: Recognizing the signs of stressed breathing and understanding how it impacts cognitive function and stress levels.Actionable Steps:Start paying attention to your breath throughout the day. Notice when you hold your breath, breathe fast and shallow, or sigh and yawn frequently.Focus on breathing through your nose instead of your mouth.Practice intentional breathing exercises to help regulate your nervous system and manage stress more effectively.Join me in exploring how something as simple as breathing can transform your life and empower you to take control of your mind, body, and overall well-being.Support the Show.Resources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter

Episode Description: In this episode, I reflect on recent visits with my family and how they've brought up deep feelings of inadequacy and the desire to prove myself. I've realized how much I've tried to show that I'm smart, successful, and have my life together—even though I know that no one really has it all figured out.I talk about the pressure I've felt to meet my family's expectations and how it's clashed with my own priorities, things that bring me joy but aren't always understood or accepted by those closest to me. I also share the story behind a special tattoo I got in memory of my brother and how losing him has influenced my journey of self-discovery.This episode is about more than just family dynamics. It's about the internal work of learning to be enough for ourselves, even when we feel judged or misunderstood. I discuss the importance of self-respect, emotional regulation, and living a life that feels true to who we are, rather than trying to fit into someone else's idea of what our life should look like.Get in there and give it a listen! Key Topics:The challenges of seeking approval from familyThe significance of personal choicesThe impact of my brother's death on my journey of self-discoveryThe ongoing work of self-acceptance and emotional regulationThe importance of valuing our own opinions over others' judgmentsSupport the Show.Resources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter

Welcome back to another episode of the Brain Body Resilience Podcast! I'm your host, JPB, and today we're revisiting a topic that continues to resonate deeply. After recently speaking with an organization whose staff deals with community mental health, I was reminded of how critical it is to take care of ourselves, especially when we're overwhelmed and understaffed.In this throwback episode, we dive into the reality that many of us face—knowing what we should be doing to care for ourselves but feeling unable to do so due to time, energy, and resource constraints. We explore the importance of having a skill set to help you break free from a constant state of stress, worry, and overwhelm, and the necessity of choosing something different if you want different results.We'll discuss the responsibility we have to care for ourselves, even when the world around us seems like a dumpster fire, and how small, consistent actions can lead to significant change. I'll also share a recent experience that reinforced my mission—to help you realize that you don't have to keep living in stress and anxiety. There are simple tools and changes you can implement to make a difference in your life.Key Takeaways:Recognizing the importance of self-care, even in the midst of overwhelming circumstances.Understanding that knowing what to do isn't enough; action is required to create change.The power of perspective in managing stress and how it affects your physiological response.Small, consistent steps are more effective than big leaps in making lasting change.You don't have to live a life dominated by stress and anxiety—there is a choice.Call to Action: If you found this episode helpful, please share it with your friends, give it a like, and leave a review.

In this episode I explore how our families shape us, contributing to both our traumas and our sense of self. We talk about the hidden scars of childhood neglect and the ways they shape our adult lives. Sharing my journey from feeling disconnected and alone to understanding and healing from abandonment trauma, I discuss the impact of growing up in a family where emotions were unacknowledged and dismissed. Understand how hyper-independence acts as a shield, a trauma response, and how breaking down these walls can lead to genuine healing and self-acceptance. Through years of self-work, therapy, and learning to regulate my emotions, I've begun to rewrite my relationship with myself and the world around me. Join me as I delve into the importance of emotional awareness, the challenges of hyper-independence, and the power of our brain's ability to change and heal. By the end of this episode, you'll have valuable insights into how the brain works, giving you the power to make more informed decisions for your mental health. Whether you've experienced similar struggles or are just curious about the ways family dynamics affect us, this episode offers insights, hope, and a reminder that you are not alone.Get in there and give it a listen for more! Support the Show.Resources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter

In this episode, we dive into the tricky but essential process of building self-trust and its deep connection to how we experience anxiety and stress. Anxiety often stems from an overestimation of threats and an underestimation of our abilities to handle them. Naming your emotions and sensations in your body is one of the best ways to manage them effectively. Awareness allows us to bring control and understanding to our feelings, empowering us rather than leaving us feeling powerless. When we have a strong sense of self-trust, when we believe that we will be able to figure it out or handle the outcome, we are less likely to have so much fear come up. Building self-trust involves acknowledging and honoring our feelings and needs. When we dismiss or shame ourselves, we create an internal environment of threat, leading to unnecessary anxiety and stress. I talk about some of my personal struggles and insights with fear and anxiety and offer practical tools to help build self-trust so you can face your days without anxiety taking over. Get in there and give it a listen for more! Support the Show.Resources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter

In this episode I'm talking about how stress and anxiety serve us. It may feel like these emotions are out of your control, simply burdens to bear, but over time, I've come to understand that these feelings are actually signaling unmet needs. We'll explore how our behaviors—like worry, anxiety, and hypervigilance—are often attempts to meet these needs, drawing on the theories of Abraham Maslow and William Glasser's basic needs (survival, belonging, power, freedom, and fun) By reframing our understanding of stress and anxiety, we can learn to manage them more effectively, This episode breaks down how unmet needs drive our behaviors and emotional responses, offering practical insights to shift our perspectives and build resilience.Understanding this can help us shift our perspective and develop skills to better manage these emotions. We'll discuss how unmet needs can trigger stress responses and how recognizing these patterns can lead to healthier coping strategies. We discuss how this cycle can become a part of our identity, acting as a barrier to joy and pleasure. By identifying which of our basic needs are going unmet, we can break free from this cycle and transform our relationship with stress and anxiety. By the end of this episode, you'll have a new perspective on your stress and anxiety and tools to address them more effectively. Support the Show.Resources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter

Willow: As I looked into the buildings, I looked to my right down along the hall, and at the end of the yard there was an out building that looked like an old stable. Next to the stable building I saw what I could only describe as a Werewolf. It was very Tall and Skinny and it had Dog-like hind legs. Its eyes were not red or yellow but black, and its nose was long and thin. Its skin looked like black rubber or leather, and its hair was black but sparse, not thick. He was crouched down in a position resembling a person who has stomach pain as if he was almost out of energy and then he looked up at me and his expression said he was annoyed to see me. For more BBR content visit - https://linktr.ee/bbrinvestigationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/deborah-hatswell-bbr-investigations-cryptids-paranormal-unexplained-events--2840337/support.

In this episode, we explore how resisting our reality and fighting against what has already happened can lead to stress and unhappiness. When our expectations don't match reality, we often waste energy wishing things were different, which only increases our dissatisfaction.Inspired by Carl Jung's idea that "what we resist persists," we discuss how focusing on what we don't want can make those things stick around even more. By resisting, we direct our energy and attention to these unwanted experiences, perpetuating a cycle of negative emotions.We also examine the protective patterns we develop to avoid pain and how these can trap us in feelings of sadness, anger, and anxiety. By viewing these emotions objectively and learning from them, we can break free from their grip.Listeners are encouraged to take responsibility for their thoughts, actions, and the meanings they attach to their experiences. By practicing acceptance—not as resignation but as acknowledgment of reality—we can begin to align our actions with our true intentions and desires.To wrap up, I challenge you to notice where you are attaching to thoughts or feelings and the meanings you assign to them. With this awareness, you can start taking actions that lead to a more peaceful and intentional life. Get in there and give it a listen for more! Support the Show.Resources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter
