Podcasts about breaking the cycle

Why do so many smart, motivated people struggle with binge eating, emotional eating, and losing weight despite knowing exactly what they should be doing? In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with naturopathic doctor, master hypnotherapist, mindset coach, and author Dr. Andrea Maxim to uncover the deeper psychological and emotional roots of weight loss resistance, emotional eating, and self-sabotaging behaviors. Andrea shares her personal journey into naturopathic medicine and discusses how her own weight loss transformation revealed the powerful connection between identity, self-worth, and health. Together, they explore how the unconscious mind drives many of our daily choices and why lasting weight loss requires more than diet and exercise alone. You'll learn how hypnotherapy can help reprogram limiting beliefs, why emotional eating patterns become automatic, and practical strategies to regain control of your relationship with food. Whether you're struggling with binge eating, emotional eating, weight loss plateaus, or simply want to understand how your mindset influences your health, this episode provides actionable tools to help you create lasting change. In This Episode You'll Learn: ✔ Why weight gain is often rooted in emotional and psychological factors ✔ How the unconscious mind influences eating behaviors ✔ The connection between identity, self-worth, and health ✔ How hypnotherapy can help break emotional eating patterns ✔ Why "the oldest program your brain is running will win" unless beliefs are consciously reprogrammed ✔ How social media and your environment affect your mindset ✔ Practical strategies for dismantling automated eating habits ✔ How to identify emotional triggers around food ✔ Why conscious choices create lasting transformation ✔ The importance of embracing the messy, human side of personal growth Resources From The Show: Connect with Dr. Andrea Maxim Dr. Andrea on Youtube Dr. Andrea's The Maxim Movement on Instagram Dr. Jannine Krause

What does it look like when someone turns a painful past into a global mission? Chason Forehand grew up navigating abuse and addiction, and instead of staying stuck in those cycles, he built something that helps others break free from theirs.Chason is the founder of HR-4U, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Hudson Valley, New York, with three programs: Advocacy for living wages and workforce dignity, Mentor for Good to help young nonprofits survive their first five years, and Transformation Kitchen, a culinary training program that goes far beyond teaching people how to cook. Participants become part of a family, with support, wellness checks, and community that extends well past the 12-week program.HR-4U is not planted in one city. They go wherever the doors open. They built their first Transformation Kitchen in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, and are now setting their sights on Australia, Canada, India, Costa Rica, Detroit, and the Hudson Valley, with a goal of 20 kitchens this year.In this episode, we talk about what it takes to run a nonprofit under a restrictive government, how Chason partners with existing organizations to stretch every dollar toward the people, why paying living wages is not just the right thing but a smart business strategy, and how you can get involved no matter where you are in the world.As Chason says, "We don't just flip eggs.

This week on Blended, Kate is joined by Nathalie and special guest co host Natalie Lue, author of The Joy of Saying No and host of The Baggage Reclaim Sessions.Today's dilemma comes from a stepmum who had a moment that shook her. During a situation where her stepdaughter was being praised, she corrected something small and immediately felt like she had taken the shine off her. It triggered a deeper fear that she might be repeating the same subtle patterns she experienced growing up.They discuss how old wounds can quietly show up in parenting, especially in blended families where emotions can already feel heightened. Nathalie talks about how simply acknowledging the pattern is something previous generations often never did.Kate opens up about how she sometimes swings between overreacting and then overcompensating. She shares how easy it is to correct too quickly, then feel guilty and flip into people pleasing mode to balance it out.Natalie Lue breaks down the “mother load” and how much emotional responsibility women carry without even realising it. She challenges the idea that every moment needs to be handled perfectly and asks what would actually happen if we didn't overmanage everything.It's an honest conversation about insecurity, boundaries and the fear of passing down patterns you worked so hard to escape.Don't forget to rate and review, also we love hearing from you so follow @blended on Instagram to share your story.

Brooke Taylor spent more than a decade inside high-performance environments, including leadership roles at Google, before turning her attention to a question that many accomplished professionals quietly wrestle with: why does achievement so often fail to produce a lasting sense of fulfillment? In this conversation, she examines what she calls the "success wound" — the tendency to attach self-worth to performance, recognition, and external measures of success. Drawing from her own experience with burnout, addiction recovery, career advancement, and entrepreneurship, she explains how these patterns develop and why they continue to shape behavior long after professional success has been achieved. Among the key insights discussed: The root cause of many workplace struggles is not a lack of capability but an unhealthy relationship between achievement and identity. When self-worth becomes dependent on performance, even meaningful accomplishments can feel insufficient. Many high achievers operate from a small set of recurring beliefs, including "I have to prove my value through productivity," "If I fail, I am a failure," or "I am only as valuable as other people's opinions." These beliefs often drive behaviors such as overwork, perfectionism, people-pleasing, procrastination, and chronic dissatisfaction. Sustainable fulfillment comes more from how work is approached than from the specific role, title, or employer. Taylor argues that changing working habits and thought patterns frequently produces greater satisfaction than changing jobs. Emotional regulation begins with recognizing how stress, fear, and inadequacy are experienced physically. Rather than suppressing difficult emotions, she outlines a practical process for identifying them, understanding what they are communicating, and responding with curiosity rather than avoidance. Lasting behavioral change requires action, not insight alone. Taylor explains why taking deliberate "opposite actions" can be more effective than endless analysis when attempting to break entrenched habits. The discussion also explores addiction recovery, the role identity plays in sustaining behavior change, the hidden cost of codependency in professional life, and why many forms of burnout stem from carrying responsibilities that do not belong to us. Throughout the conversation, Taylor offers a thoughtful perspective on ambition, personal growth, and leadership. Her central argument is that professional success becomes more sustainable when it is no longer asked to answer questions of worth, belonging, or identity. For leaders navigating demanding careers, the episode provides a practical framework for examining the assumptions that drive performance and for building a healthier relationship with achievement itself.

Have you reached the point where you're constantly bracing for your next symptom? Even simple things like eating something you've eaten before, or having a busy day at work, fill your mind with the worry: "Is this going to set my body off again?" If you've been dealing with brain fog, bloating, skin reactions, fatigue, anxiety, heart palpitations, or other symptoms that seem to come out of nowhere, you know how exhausting it can be to lose trust in your own body. In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart explores one of the most overlooked pieces of the puzzle behind Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS): the relationship between chronic stress, your nervous system, and your immune system. Because while foods, toxins, and environmental triggers certainly matter, your body can only stay in a constant state of fight-or-flight for so long before the immune system itself begins to change. In this episode, you'll learn: Why chronic stress can quietly dysregulate your immune system The connection between stress and MCAS symptoms How cortisol, adrenaline, blood sugar, and inflammation work together Why your body can become more reactive over time The difference between living in fight-or-flight versus the body's natural healing state   Plus, Dr. Bart shares the same therapies he's used to help hundreds of people shift their bodies back into a healing state. If you've been trying to avoid every trigger but still don't feel like yourself, this episode will help you start seeing the bigger picture.

Send us Fan MailMost people do not need another fresh start. They need to stop abandoning the plan every time it gets uncomfortable.In this episode of The Mindset Café, we break down why so many people get stuck in the cycle of restarting. They start strong, fall off, wait for Monday, and convince themselves that a new plan will finally fix the pattern. But the truth is simple: restarting feels good because it gives you a clean slate. Refining works because it forces you to face what actually broke.This episode will help you understand why fresh starts can become a trap, why consistency is not perfection, and how to build a system that keeps you moving even when life gets messy. You'll learn how to audit the break, adjust the system, set a minimum standard, and return to the work without waiting for a new week, new month, or new wave of motivation.Stop restarting.

Send us Fan MailMost adults who struggle with food didn't just wake up one day with a problem.Often, the story started much earlier.Maybe food was used as comfort.Maybe you were told to finish your plate.Maybe you were bullied about your body.Maybe dieting, shame, or feeling “not good enough” became part of your relationship with food.In this episode, I'm joined by Kamy Moussavi, founder of Step Together, to talk about how childhood experiences shape emotional eating, overeating, body shame, and food struggles later in life.Kamy shares his own story of moving from Iran to Canada as a child, growing up overweight, being bullied, struggling with binge eating and bulimia, and later turning that pain into work that helps families break the cycle.We talk about: Why food struggles are rarely just about willpower  How stress, shame, loneliness, and emotional needs can show up as overeating  Why dieting as a child can create long-term damage  How parents can support children without shame or punishment  Why adults need to understand their own food story before passing patterns on  How to start breaking the cycle with more awareness and compassion This conversation is for you if you've ever struggled with emotional eating — or if you're a parent who wants to help your child build a healthier relationship with food and their body.Because kids are not broken.Adults are not lazy.And food struggles are often about much more than food. Learn more about Kamy's work at steptogether.usAnd if you want help building a healthier relationship with food, movement, and your body, you can check my coaching options at:personaltrainerturo.it

This week, Scheana is joined by astrologer, reality TV personality, and fellow cat mom Ally Lewber. The two unpack Ally's experience filming Netflix's “Perfect Match” — from the surprising item production confiscated and potential match Jimmy's “glow-up bangs,” to sharing her most intimate moments on camera and why she's hesitant to consider doing a dating show again. They also dive into the complicated reality of supporting friends caught in toxic relationship cycles, using the recent SLOMW fallout between Taylor Frankie Paul and Mikayla Matthews as a jumping-off point for a surprisingly raw and emotional conversation about boundaries, enabling, and what actually helps someone leave for good. Ally opens up about why she's now grateful certain moments from her past relationship played out so publicly, the support system that helped her through it, and her honest reaction to seeing headlines about her ex's baby news. Elsewhere, Scheana and Ally debate open relationships vs. throuples, whether they'd rather know WHEN or HOW they die, and why Brock once referred to Ally as a “Scientologist to the stars.” Plus, Scheana is not here for the Bravo blogger slander — in fact, she's giving them their flowers this week.

There is a reason you know what to do with money and still struggle to do it. In this episode, I sit down with Rahkim Sabree, financial therapist, accredited financial counselor, and author of Overcoming Financial Trauma, to talk about what is really driving our money behaviors and why the answer goes much deeper than budgets and spreadsheets. After more than a decade in the banking industry, Rahkim walked away from it all to build something on his own terms. That leap eventually led him to the financial therapy space, where he now helps people understand that our relationship with money is shaped by six distinct sources of trauma, from generational and observational influences to workplace, systemic, and societal pressures. He also shares what happened when a house fire destroyed his home just weeks before his book launched, and how he used his own frameworks to navigate the loss. His core message is that most financial education skips the emotional and physiological roots of why we behave the way we do. Once you understand where your money behaviors come from, real change becomes possible. In this episode, Rahkim shares: The six sources of financial trauma and how they show up differently for each person Why our nervous system responds to money as a threat, and what that looks like in everyday behavior The difference between a scarcity mindset and a scarcity reality, and why that distinction matters How he navigated his own financial trauma after a house fire destroyed his home just weeks before his book launch What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Check out Overcoming Financial Trauma by Rahkim Sabree: Available wherever books are sold Rahkim's Forbes Column Check out the FIRE Calc Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

Recently, one of our clients, Derek Morton, shared an incredible story from a networking event where he transformed his booth into a blackjack table to illustrate that property owners shouldn't "gamble" with their rentals. When a prospect tried to pressure Derek into matching a competitor's price by a mere half-percent, Derek firmly refused, explaining that he refuses to build a portfolio around owners willing to jump ship over such tiny margins.12 In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth experts Jason and Sarah Hull discuss the vital importance of being selective about who you serve and why taking on "bad" owners creates a "cycle of suck" that destroys profitability and personal happiness.  Jason and Sarah explore the foundational mistake of targeting everyone, explaining that identifying exactly who you want to serve is the first step in building a business. They apply the "Pumpkin Plan" principle of clearing rot from a business to prevent bad clients from spreading negativity throughout an entire operation.345 The discussion also highlights how poor client filtering leads to a "cycle of suck" featuring bad properties, bad tenants, and bad reviews, which ultimately traps owners in a "race to the bottom" on price. By being picky, business owners can significantly lower operational costs and achieve elite profit margins, sometimes reaching 60% to 90%. Finally, the hosts introduce a three-day initiative designed to help entrepreneurs diagnose why their growth has stalled and how to pivot toward attracting "good" clients rather than just "any" clients. You'll Learn [01:08] - The Blackjack Table Lesson: A story about a client using a blackjack-themed booth to teach owners not to "gamble" with rentals and why he refuses price-shoppers. [05:50] - The Pumpkin Plan & The Cycle of Suck: Applying Mike Michalowicz's "Pumpkin Plan" to clear out "rot" and avoid the downward spiral of bad properties and tenants. [07:46] - Maximizing Profit Margins through Selectivity: How being picky lowers operational costs and enables elite profit margins between 50% and 90%.4 08:30 - Diagnosing Stagnant Growth: Introducing a new three-day team-led initiative to help stalled businesses identify why they are stuck and create a fix. [11:34] - Avoiding the "Property Management" Product Trap: Why selling "property management" is the wrong approach and the importance of a unique offer for your target audience. Quotables "If we took on every owner and if we took on the wrong owners, we would no longer be happy, and we would no longer love what we do. And this would become a real pain in the ass." "If you target everyone, you are guaranteed to be miserable in your own business." "You can only have a ridiculously good margin in your business if you're picky about your clients."

Change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management.   entrepreneurs when now let's get into the show. is awesome. I love when she brings the dogs in right before the show. He's like running into stuff like cables are falling down. I don't even know what I I'm gonna have to find what he did and try to fix it. I don't even know. Good times. All right. So what are we chatting about today? Sarah? I was going to share some good news that one of our clients   was messaging back and forth with me on the weekend. Derek Morton, he's out in Utah and he was at an event over this weekend and it was a really cool event. I wish I could have been there, but he, like everybody gets their booth, right? You get your booth and you have your setup and everybody hopefully comes over and you get some leads. That's not how Derek does things.   at all. So Derek gets a booth and turns it into, I think it was Blackjack. And there, I mean, he had the the dice and the table set up and he got a, ⁓ a, a card dealer and he had the chips, but the chips were like customized with his brand name. And the whole thing looks amazing. It was, it was really awesome.   And the theme was, don't gamble with your rentals. Right? So obviously... Very cute, very clever. Yeah. One of the way more interesting booths at an event. Yeah. Come play blackjack. Now, it's not gambling. That's not legal, but they did have blackjack, so you can come play hand, but it wasn't gambling. And there was a lot of interest at the booth. There was a lot of excitement at the booth, which is great.   And there was a property owner that was at their booth, Derek was there, and the guy was saying, yeah, you know, I've got five units and I work with this other property manager now. Derek said, yeah, that's great. It's awesome. Like, how are things going? And he's like, yeah, things are going well. Like, I like the property manager. That's great. And I guess he was expecting to be sold too, because then he was kind of like, and so, you know, what would you do for me then? And Derek said, well,   Like, you know, this is kind of what we do. This is what we offer. And the guy was like, all right, well, how much do you charge? And he, you know, was telling him, hey, you know, we've got some plans you can kind of choose from. And the guy said, well, you know, my current property manager, they charge, I think it was like 7%, whatever it was, who knows. Let's call it 10 % because that's really common in the industry. So, all right, well, my property manager charges 10%. And essentially it was, you know, what are you going to do for me? And.   Derek goes, yeah, this is where we sit. And the guy goes, you're not going to try to beat it. He's like, no, no, we're not. He goes, let me ask you something. If you're at 10 % right now, if we charged, if we did like 9 and 1 percent, would you switch over to us? And the guy said, yeah, yeah, I would do that. I switch over. And he goes, for 9 and 1 half percent, yeah, I'll switch over. Yeah. And Derek said, yeah, and that's exactly the type of owner that we don't take on.   Okay. The guy was flabbergasted, not expecting that at all. He said, well, you know, listen, with all due respect, you know, I just met you. We're having a conversation. You're at my booth. You know, you're playing some blackjack. That's great. If you're ready and willing to dump the property manager that you work with over half of a percentage, which ends up being like five bucks in a 20 minute conversation, then where is that going to lead me?   So pretty much anyone that undercuts that price, you're just going to jump ship. didn't even try to do anything and you're already ready to jump ship over half of a percent. He said, yeah, we don't take on owners like that. That's not when we build our portfolio around. And that was such a cool message for me to get. I love that. ⁓ And I was really excited that that's just Derek.   A lot of people would be like, well, you we don't really do that. Derek is like, yeah, that's exactly the type of owner that we don't take on. He's so, he's not like, doesn't, yeah, he doesn't, he pull punches at all, which is great. That's why we like him. But really, he said to me, you know, one of the things that we've done really well, and they're a sizable company. And he said, but we, we're happy. We love what we do.   And really that's a testament to the owners that we work with. And if we took on every owner, and if we took on the wrong owners, we would no longer be happy and we would no longer love what we do. And this would become a real pain in the ass. And that's just not what I'm looking for. Because I love what we do. And part of that is being able to say no to the people who aren't a fit. Yeah, I love it. I mean, before you start a business, the very first thing you need to figure out is who do I actually want to work   Who do I want to serve? That's the foundation of the business and a lot of times people are like everyone. And if you target everyone you are guaranteed to be miserable in your own business. That means you're not going to filter out anyone. You're going to just let everybody in. Really good book on the subject is The Pumpkin Plan by Mike McCallewitz and he talks about this principle. He's been on my podcast twice. Our podcast now.   So, but he's been on here twice. And he's also spoken at our DoorGrowth live conference and sharing this principle is basically, you know, if you allow everything to be in your business, then your business is gonna be full of rot and rot spreads. It compares it to a pumpkin patch. You have to clear out the moldy crows pumpkins or the rot spreads. And ⁓ Derek, you know, he's smart because...   he probably at some point had some of that in his business, was like, this isn't worth it, this isn't the type of people I wanna deal with, they're not treating my team and my staff appropriately or kind. some people that's not the business they wanna run, if you're one of our clients, that's what we coach you, is get really clear on who you wanna serve and filter out everybody else. Because if you take on bad clients, it gets you into the cycle of suck that we teach, which means.   you then have bad properties, which leads to having bad tenants, which means then you have bad reviews, and then you attract more bad clients. And then you end up in this weird race to the bottom with everybody else trying to compete on price. And that's the worst place to be competing. And so you can be unique in the marketplace by being the best, being picky about the clients you take on, and your operational costs are going to be a lot lower. So...   Derek has much lower operational costs than most property management companies because he doesn't take on the really difficult owners. He makes sure that the owners are willing to put the work in and the money into the properties to make sure they're taken care of well, to make sure tenants are taken care of well. And that makes it a lot easier for them to do their job as a property manager. And so it doesn't matter if he could have like,   200 more doors if you would be making half the margins or even the same margins. I had a client with 600 doors that was on one of these podcast episodes. When he first came to me, he had 600 doors and was making zero dollars. And so if you have bad doors, bad owners, you have to have a lot more staff and then it's really easy to lose all your money and not be very profitable. And we've gotten some of our clients up to 50 % profit margin. Sarah had 60 to 90 % profit margin.   in her business. You can only have ridiculously good margin in your business if you're picky about your clients. You have to get rid of bad clients and bad properties. Yeah. Or just say no to them in the first place. Right. Yeah. So if you're wondering, I think this actually worked out way better. I did not plan this, but the, what are we calling it? The growth blueprint. that what we're calling it? We're calling it the PM.   growth audit, I believe. No, we're not calling it a audit. Well, I know that. I thought it was a blueprint. Nope, we're not calling it a blueprint. We're calling it the PM growth leak audit. It's not when we're not going to call it an audit. Well, that's what I have programmed all of our tools to talk about it as. Then we get to reprogram that because... Because blueprints are overdone. Nobody wants a blueprint anymore.   So people want to pay maybe for an audit. So I don't know. But whatever you want to call it, challenge, audit, blueprint. But it's to help you find the leaks in your business related to growth. All right. So where I was going with that, whatever we decide to call this thing is stay tuned, I guess. OK. TBD. But ⁓ that's going to be something that we end up launching very soon, where you'll work one-on-one with   someone from our team and they will take you through. It'll be a three day thing. Dogs trying to jump up on my lap. All right, why not? Come here, Hans. Come here. Come here. Okay. All right. He's all the way up here. All right. Okay. For those of you who are watching the video, this is Hans.   Hi, where are you going? This is awkward because I'm sitting on a ball. Whatever we call this, you'll get to work with someone on our team for three days to help you figure out why growth has been stagnant or not moving as fast as you want it to be. Because a lot of people are totally stuck and they're just stalled out and stuck at the same point and they might fluctuate.   gain a little, lose a little, gain a little, lose a little. And there's a lot of people that are also, they want more growth and it's just not happening exactly the way that they would like it to happen. They're getting some growth, but they're not getting the amount of growth that they are really hoping for or looking for. And we have identified a few patterns. So we've decided, hey, let's help people figure out why their growth is just...   stalled. Maybe the growth stalled. I don't know. We'll call it something. ⁓ stay tuned for that because I think probably by the time this airs that will be live. That will be launched. So if you're wondering why growth might be stalled or stuck in your business and how you can grow more and get more clients and the good clients, not just any clients, but the good clients because that's what's important.   then reach out to us because by the time you hear this episode, unless you're watching it live, if you're watching it live, we can't help you quite yet, but stay tuned for like a week. Give us like a week. And if everyone else, when you're watching the replay, when it launches, then if that is you, reach out to our team and we will walk you through it. And you'll walk away with a plan and you'll know exactly what's going wrong and what to do to fix it. Okay.   I'm being tongue mauled by this dog. Okay, Huns. All right, you're going down. No, Captain, you can't come up. Okay, fine. Come here. Hi. Where's the other one? the other one. Okay. Okay. He looks so sad to I don't know what else to say about this. All right, so next time we will not bring the dogs in here.   This is not effective. Not effective. All right. So but possibly entertaining. So if you liked if you liked seeing the dogs just like comment on this dogs and then see he'll have to do more of it. I don't know. You let me know. You'd be the judge. Yeah. All right. Well with that I think the message today then is you've got to figure out how to be unique in your market because   If you're the same as everybody else, they might as well just go with the cheapest company. that is, you know, nobody also, it's important to realize nobody also wakes up in the morning and goes, I want to buy property management today. Property management is the wrong product. And this is one of the things in this challenge audit, whatever we're going to call it thing is that we will help reveal to you, we'll help you expose and we'll help you make sure that you have a really good offer.   you have a really good understanding of your target audience because without those things really dialed in from the beginning, you're going to have a less healthy business. And so a lot of people have a blind spot around all of this and they just go out there and try and get clients, try and grow their business. And they wonder why it's so hard, but it's because you're selling the wrong thing and you've started the wrong business. And so, and this stuff is very easy to clean up and we can help you with that. Cool. All right. So.   If, my gosh, dogs are just bumping into me.

I think it's one thing to own that you have your own set of issues but it's another to sit with them and choose to change. I have set a lot of boundaries in my healing journey and one that felt hard was relationships. It's hard to stay single when you have low self worth and rely on outside validation. My hope is that if anyone is experiencing the unbearable cycle of codependency in relationships, where they feel empty, that they take a look at themselves and realize they deserve more. You need to make sure you're a whole person before you take on a whole person. Love yourself first, there is only one you. Send Me A Message HereSupport the showInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/manicandmedicatedpodcast_?igsh=MXgwZGx6YTB0eGYzOA%3D%3D&utm_source=qrTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@manicandmedicated_?_r=1&_t=ZP-95syPrWKa2I

In this episode, the guys dive into the often overlooked realities of addiction and mental health in the watersports industry. They unpack how environment, personality, and daily habits can quietly limit both personal well being and business growth. The guys explore the difference between physical and psychological addiction, why industry culture can reinforce unhealthy patterns, and how many operators unknowingly hit a ceiling because of lifestyle choices rather than market conditions. They break down practical paths forward from peer groups and mentorship to fitness, mindset shifts, and emerging therapies while emphasizing that real growth starts with the operator, not just the operation. For anyone looking to scale their business, improve their leadership, or simply feel better day to day, this conversation highlights why investing in your health, environment, and education is one of the highest ROI moves you can make.[SPONSORS] - This show is sponsored by Take My Boat Test and WaveRez.Show Links:Website: https://www.watersportpodcast.comFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/awgpodcastFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1155418904790489Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awg_podcast/

Kamini Wood explores the hidden weight of the phrase "I'm fine," reframing it from a polite social response into a complex survival strategy used by high achievers and caregivers to maintain composure and avoid burdening others. Wood explains that while this emotional shorthand may keep life moving and prevent conflict in the short term, it often leads to a profound internal disconnection, physical tension, and a sense of being unseen even within full, successful lives. By discussing how the habit of emotional suppression can make our true feelings harder to access over time, Kamini encourages listeners to practice "the pause"—taking a moment to check in with their own internal reality before responding automatically. Listeners are invited to trade the "masked" version of themselves for small, safe moments of honesty, allowing relationships to shift from transactional stability to genuine, mutual connection.

What happens when you're constantly scanning for the nearest bathroom? When social plans, work schedules and even sleep revolve around the fear of not making it in time?In this episode of Life Without Leaks, we welcome Dr. Ehsan Navabi, the director of the IBD Center and the GI Motility Disorders Lab at United Medical Doctors in California, to take a closer look at one of the most disruptive digestive symptoms patients face: bowel urgency. Dr. Navabi explains how persistent urgency is more than an inconvenience - it can reshape daily life and significantly affect mental health.We explore why urgency develops, how the brain-gut axis amplifies symptoms and why anxiety and bowel disorders often feed into each other. Dr. Navabi also discusses common but overlooked causes as well as inflammatory conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.Most importantly, he emphasizes that urgency is treatable. With proper diagnosis, multidisciplinary care and early intervention, many patients can regain predictability, confidence and freedom.If urgency is quietly controlling your schedule, this episode offers reassurance: you don't have to plan your life around a bathroom — and help is available.For more information about the National Association for Continence, click here, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.Music:Rainbows Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Attn: Grace pads and liners are ultra-soft, highly absorbent and made without fragrances, dyes or bleaches, so nothing comes between you and your comfort.

Mark Woeppel explains why many plants fall into a cycle of expediting and reactive decision-making. Drawing on decades of experience, he shares examples of assembly operations overwhelmed by incomplete builds, conflicting priorities and systems that cannot keep pace with real-world conditions.He also introduces the Theory of Constraints as a way to restore stability. By identifying the true constraint and aligning production around it, manufacturers can improve throughput, reduce chaos and regain control of delivery performance.To learn more, join Woeppel for a live webinar on May 20 at 2 p.m. ET, where he will discuss how to right-size inventory levels and prevent assembly line stoppages in modern manufacturing environments.

What if the biggest obstacle to your success isn't your skill set, your circumstances, or even your past — but your addiction to staying stuck? That's the central thread of my conversation with Peter Moulton, a 35-year recovery veteran, entrepreneur, and author of UP: A Journey of Intention, Focus, and Execution. Peter has spent nearly three decades coaching entrepreneurs and leaders, and what he's discovered cuts right through the noise: most of us don't fail because we lack information. We fail because we're unwilling to be seen. The Three-Year Prison Peter describes a pattern he calls the "three-year prison" — the tendency for people to rise to their current level of competence, then repeat the same cycle over and over without ever breaking through. The culprit? Imposter syndrome. The fear that if we become truly brilliant and visible, we'll be exposed. So we self-sabotage. We stay small. We hide. In recovery, this shows up all the time. We know what we're supposed to do — pray, journal, go to meetings, do the work. But the moment we start feeling better, we stop. And then we wonder why we're vulnerable again. The Addiction to Pain Here's where Peter really got me: he doesn't believe people primarily avoid pain. He believes they get addicted to it. After years of generational trauma and learned dysfunction, suffering becomes familiar. Safe, even. And anything that might bring joy — visibility, success, connection — feels threatening. The healing, he says, isn't about digging endlessly into the "why." It's about acknowledging reality, surrendering to it, and choosing to move anyway. The Ultradian Method: Work With Your Biology Based on research going back to 1953 by scientist Nathaniel Kleitman, our waking brains operate in 90-minute cycles — just like our sleep. Peter built his entire productivity system around this: 75 minutes of deep, singular-focus work followed by 15 minutes of complete disconnection. No phone. No screens. Touch grass. Breathe. His best clients do 3–4 sprints per day. Even two sprints — about 2.5 hours of focused work — consistently outperforms unfocused 8-hour days. Microsoft's own research confirms this: their employees averaged less than 3 hours of actual productive work per 8-hour day. Action Items From This Episode Try one 75-minute focus sprint tomorrow. One task. No phone. Then fully disconnect for 15 minutes. Ask yourself Peter's daily question: Who am I this morning — and who do I want to be by tonight? Identify the ONE activity that would move your most important goal forward every day. Let everything else wait. Notice if you're "wound worshipping." Are you staying in the story instead of moving through it?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Paola Rosser, founder of the Fearless Female Movement, to explore what it truly means to heal, transform, and step into your power. Paola shares her raw and emotional journey from a life shaped by trauma, abuse, and limiting beliefs to one of purpose, empowerment, and self-discovery. After hitting rock bottom and facing moments where she questioned her will to live, a profound spiritual experience became the catalyst that set her on a path of healing and awakening.Through a combination of subconscious healing techniques, mindset shifts, and relentless self-education, Paola began to reframe her reality and challenge the beliefs that once held her back. She opens up about breaking cycles of abuse, confronting deeply ingrained narratives about worth and identity, and learning to take full responsibility for her life. Her story highlights the power of awareness—how changing the way we see ourselves can completely transform the outcomes we create in our relationships, finances, and overall life trajectory.Now a coach, speaker, and host of Journey of a Fearless Female, Paola dedicates her work to helping women release emotional blocks and design lives they truly love. This conversation is a reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, transformation is possible—and often begins with a single decision to believe that more is available.Website: www.fearlessfemale.com Social Media Links/Handles:https://www.instagram.com/fearlessfemale_coach/https://www.youtube.com/@fearlessfemale

Families share more than DNA; they also share traditions, habits, and patterns—some good, some not. The way we think about sex, money, marriage, work, and many other things has been shaped by our families of origin. Patterns of abuse, addiction, and personal bias can often be traced through our family tree. Join us for Part One of Home Work, where we will see God's warning to families about the destructive patterns of sin and their effect on future generations.

After a surprise joint attack by U.S. and Israeli military forces on Iran killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, correspondent Scott Pelley interviews Reza Pahlavi, a leader of the Iranian opposition to the Islamic Republic and the son of the late deposed shah of Iran. Pelley reports on this pivotal moment for Iran's leadership, whether regime change is coming, who leads a future transition, and what happens to Iran's nuclear weapons. Federal judges are under threat as never before. A 60 MINUTES investigation found that judges who have ruled against the Trump administration have become top targets. 60 MINUTES spoke with 26 federal judges – 9 Democratic appointees and 17 Republican, both sitting and retired.

Sharyn Alfonsi reports on an earlier, precedent-setting case from Oxford, Michigan where both the school shooter and his parents now sit behind bars, raising the question: Will holding parents accountable help break the cycle of school shootings in America?
