Hi Wellness Warrior, This is the date 2 years ago that this podcast began. And on November 7th- just one month, we will celebrate with my 200th episode with a super fun giveaway! I was thrilled to see today was a breath prayer episode on the calendar. I found that very fitting for a 2 year celebration. In light of that, today's prayer will be my brand verse. This verse is a prayer in itself- Paul is praying this over the early Christians in Thessalonica. And I pray this for you and I. We can not achieve, strive for, people please enough, be perfect enough, stress enough, or produce enough to have perfect peace. The peace our holistic beings desire only comes from the God who made us. And as we pursue holistic wellness, we can only do that through God who wholly created us. As we do, there will be hardships, trials, challenges that try to steal our wellness, peace and identity. But, if we continually go back to our identity and who God calls us, trust that and His faithfulness- He will make us holy and whole along this healing journey called life. He will do it. verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it." The message says " May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole.." Get in a comfortable position, can do this anywhere at anytime. But closing eyes is a good way to focus, unless driving. inhale.... deep breath.....expand chest and lungs... each one taking deeper… exhale...breathe out audiably... let all the muscles and tension relax Talk to God in this time, notice what thoughts come in these 3 minutes, what feelings arise, what each word feels like as it comes out of your mouth. Meditate on these words. 3 min : Inhale: God identifies me. Exhale: His faithfulness makes me Holy and Whole. Shalom Shalom, Xx, Shan ……CONNECT…… Are you in burnout or just stressed??

In this empowering episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty brings together two remarkable voices of transformation — Antoinette Lee, a U.S. Army veteran, author, and adventure sports influencer, and Trea (Asher) Drake, a Krav Maga black belt instructor, mindfulness coach, and breathwork expert. Together, they explore how breathing and meditation can unlock inner strength, emotional balance, and clarity in the most challenging times. From overcoming trauma and rebuilding life after brain and spine injury to using nature as medicine, this episode dives deep into the science and soul of resilience. Listeners will discover: How to use breathwork and mindfulness to manage your nervous system and emotions Why time in nature is more than therapy — it's a biological necessity What it means to consciously create your “new normal” after crisis And how calmness, courage, and intention can co-exist even in moments of chaos. If you're seeking inspiration to start again, heal deeply, or find peace through stillness, this episode will remind you that flourishing isn't about perfection — it's about presence and choice. About the Guests : Antoinette Lee:A decorated U.S. Army veteran, former tech CEO, and survivor of a traumatic brain and spine injury, Antoinette's journey from the brink of death to becoming a motivational speaker and outdoor adventure athlete is awe-inspiring. As the author of Four Hours to Live and founder of New Normal Big Life (NNBL.blog), she empowers others to redefine their limits and create a fulfilling “new normal.” Trea (Asher) Drake:With a Master's in Education and nearly two decades in behavioral analysis, Trea has dedicated his life to helping others master resilience through martial arts, breathwork, and mindfulness. As a certified Krav Maga black belt, meditation trainer, and expert in intentional communication, he teaches how to rewire the nervous system for calm strength and conscious living. Key Takeaways : Conscious breathing isn't just survival — it's the remote control of your brain and body. Healing begins when you stop asking “Why me?” and start asking “What's next?” The nervous system is the gateway to resilience — mastering your breath helps regulate emotions and decisions. Nature's “medicine” (like phytoncides from trees) reduces stress, boosts immunity, and improves sleep. True mindfulness happens in daily life — five mindful seconds a hundred times a day creates transformation. When overwhelmed, ask: “What am I afraid of?” or “What can I control?” to return to center. Healing isn't passive; it's intentional courage — choosing calm, breath, and small daily steps forward. Outdoor adventures and nature immersion restore emotional clarity, courage, and spiritual connection.

What if your imagination was the most powerful tool you own? In this short, soothing guided visualization, I lead you through a “See It” meditation designed to ignite your imagination, calm your nervous system, and help you preview the life you're creating—freedom, a loving home, generosity, deep love, success, recognition, and pure joy. Inspired by the wisdom often quoted by Wayne Dyer—“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Use this quick practice as your morning ritual, a mid-day reset, or a bedtime wind-down. What you'll experience Breath + soften: drop into presence and let imagination lead See your freedom, home, and the way you give back Feel love & intimacy, success & recognition, and fun & laughter—then watch it all in slow-motion Close with the reframe: This isn't pretend.

I share how the challenges and initiations we have faced, even the darkest ones, are not failures or punishments, but sacred invitations to heal ourselves and the world.We explore what happens when you fully reject the victim mindset and choose to own your power, even when logic or your past tries to convince you otherwise. I encourage you to see yourself as the one who raised their hand for this work, who took on the healing of pain, abuse, burnout or depression because of your strength, your light, and your connection to the Divine.You will hear about the transformation that unfolds when you declare that nothing is truly against you, and that every moment on your journey counts.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Burnout recovery isn't about pushing harder. Discover how gentleness restores leadership rhythm, builds trust, and helps high-capacity humans lead from presence, not pressure.Burnout recovery often gets framed as rest, vacations, or temporary relief. But for high-capacity humans, the real restoration comes from a deeper source: gentleness.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks why gentleness is not laziness, but true leadership strength. Drawing from the life and influence of 19th-century poet-preacher George MacDonald, Julie explores how gentleness became a force that reshaped culture, awakened imagination, and restored weary souls. MacDonald's leadership reminds us: real authority flows from embodying peace, not pressing harder.You'll also see how burnout, decision fatigue, and role confusion are often symptoms of identity drift — when your nervous system stays braced and you lead from performance instead of presence. This is where Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) makes the difference. ILR isn't another mindset tactic or productivity hack. It's the root-level shift that rewrites your story so every decision, boundary, and leadership rhythm flows from alignment with who you truly are.Today's conversation gets practical too. You'll learn how to spot the difference between leading from bracing and leading from gentleness — and why this shift restores both you and those you influence.Micro Recalibration: Schedule 3 ninety-second resets today. Breathe. Drop your shoulders. Soften your jaw. Release the outcome.For leaders: bring this into your team or family. Try starting a meeting or mealtime with one slow breath together. You'll be amazed at how the atmosphere shifts.Because gentleness isn't weakness. It's leadership that heals instead of drains.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

This isn't coaching. This is identity recalibration — and it changes everything.

Light as Companion, Not CureJournal prompt: “Today's flicker of hope was…”Witnessing light without forcing it to fix anything. Today we let light walk beside us and do only what light can do—show the next few feet.A Flicker (Hope) — Light you can actually hold Morning sun through a window. Moonlight on the driveway. A soft lamp instead of overhead glare. Not profound—present. Let one bit of light keep you company.To Rebuild (Healing) — One-minute light practice Step outside or to a window. Look at the light source (not directly at the sun). Inhale 4, hold 2, exhale 6—three times. Name one color you can see more clearly now. That's it.Take a Step (Becoming) — Schedule a light ritual Pick a daily 2–5 minute light moment (sun patch, lamp + tea, porch twilight). Put it on your calendar for the same time each day this week.Choose-your-energy menu: Hollow (low): Sit by a window for 60 seconds. Breathe out longer than you breathe in. Healing (medium): Take a 5-minute light walk (to mailbox, around the block). Becoming (higher): Set a recurring “light ritual” alarm for the week.Food for Thought: Light is a companion, not a cure. You don't have to wring meaning from it—notice and allow. When the day feels heavy, a single, honest moment of brightness can anchor you long enough to choose your next inch. Reaching for light isn't denying grief; it's giving your nervous system something steady to lean on while you carry it all.Exhale. Keep what serves you; leave the rest. I'll be here again tomorrow.

Take another deep breath in, filling your chest and your belly with another wave of fresh air, And as you exhale, feel yourself release. Last deep breath in, filling your belly until it can't expand anymore, And breathe out the day. Bring your breathing to its normal, relaxed rhythm, And see if you can feel the slight buzz of energy inside of you from the increase of oxygen. Breathe. PAUSE… There is nowhere for you to be right now. Nothing you need to respond to. No comment you need to make. No information you need to know. Now is your time to rest, To slowly dance with the comforting shadows of the night, And let yourself be still. So just be here, And breathe.

Take another deep breath in, filling your chest and your belly with another wave of fresh air, And as you exhale, feel yourself release. Last deep breath in, filling your belly until it can't expand anymore, And breathe out the day. Bring your breathing to its normal, relaxed rhythm, And see if you can feel the slight buzz of energy inside of you from the increase of oxygen. Breathe. PAUSE… There is nowhere for you to be right now. Nothing you need to respond to. No comment you need to make. No information you need to know. Now is your time to rest, To slowly dance with the comforting shadows of the night, And let yourself be still. So just be here, And breathe.

What if the reason you can't focus, recover, or stay calm… is because you never learned how to BREATHE right? Based on the statistics (and watching elite athletes compete every day), chances are—you're doing it WRONG. And that's a problem…especially if you're like the elite performers I meet who are running hard all day long — chasing goals, leading teams, providing for their families. Behind the scenes, their nervous system is wrecked. They can't sleep. They can't slow down. They're short with their wife and kids. And they think it's a time problem, or a willpower issue. It's not. It's a breathing problem. That's why I had to bring on Nick Bolhuis, President of Neuropeak Pro, to this week's Coming Up Clutch with J.R. show. Nick trains elite performers, including some of my own @mlb clients on how to regulate their body and optimize their brain… starting with their breath.Freddie Freeman… the list goes on. So, if you want to leverage your breath for more breakthroughs in your life and career, then lock into this episode! In this episode, you'll hear: Why breathing isn't just automatic — it's trainable, and how mastering it can be a game-changer for your stress, focus, and recovery. The real reason 90% of pro athletes (and high performers like you) are poor breathers — and what to do about it. How to build stillness as a skill, and use your breath to center yourself in pressure-filled moments. The truth about nervous system dysregulation — and why your brain and body might be blocking your breakthrough. A simple reset ritual to help you stop “hoping” you'll show up well at home — and actually train for it. Why faith, intentionality, and identity in Christ are foundational for showing up as your best in every role. Key Quotes “You're already breathing. Why not do it better?”- Nick Bolhuis “Stillness is a skill. Your breath is the way to train it.” - J.R.

EPISODE 16: My Dead Dad's Birthday: Chicken Riggies & Remembrance Dying Laughing with Jessimae Today would've been my dad's birthday, and instead of ignoring the day—or crying into a store-bought cupcake—I decided to celebrate him the best way I know how: by telling stories, roasting his quirks, and making chicken riggies for my family. It's an Upstate thing! In this episode, I share memories of my dad and reflect on the weirdness of celebrating a birthday for someone who's no longer here. We talk about the chaos of grief birthdays, why food is the ultimate love language in an Italian family, and the ways you can honor your own loved one on their special day—even after they're gone. You'll hear:– A “Roast in Peace” of my dad's funniest quirks– Why grief birthdays are equal parts heartbreaking and healing– 6 ways to celebrate someone you've lost on their birthday– And why carbs, candles, and comedy are the only real grief plan you need So happy birthday, Dad. You're still here every time we laugh, remember, and eat too much pasta.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEPull up, friend—this one's for the high-achieving, heart-led woman whose brilliant brain sees every angle… then stalls. We're turning overthinking from a confidence killer into a confidence catalyst. I'll show you how to catch the thought loop mid-sentence, calm your nervous system, and replace the spiral with identity-anchored Power Lines that move you forward—no perfection required.You'll learn why your mind isn't the enemy (it's an over-eager intern), how compassionate self-talk signals safety, and how choosing one clean action creates momentum you can feel. This is self-love in action: reframing the inner dialogue, regulating emotions, and practicing leadership with your thoughts so you can show up in real life—with clarity, boundaries, and Main Character Energy.By the end, you'll know exactly how to be your built-in bestie, talk to yourself like someone you trust, and proof-stack tiny wins that compound into unshakable confidence. Think calm decisions, clear communication, and aligned relationships that mirror your steady, centered presence.KEY TAKEAWAYSSPOT THE LOOP, LEAD THE MIND: Overthinking is a safety strategy, not your identity—name it, then direct it.TRUTH BOMB: What you rehearse, you request. Spirals train outcomes; Power Lines retrain them.EMPOWERING SHIFT: Self-respect beats shame—your nervous system follows your narrator.ALIGNED ACTION: Decide once, move in five minutes, log two tiny wins—confidence is evidence.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction: Your Mind Isn't the Enemy00:44 Understanding Overthinking01:23 Main Character Confidence Checklist01:50 Personal Journey: From Overthinker to Leader02:52 The Science Behind Overthinking06:32 The NICE Method: A Compassionate Approach07:02 Self-Talk: The Power of Words10:40 Practical Steps to Rewire Your Brain12:02 Boundaries and Bestie Energy21:37 Main Character Energy: Living with Confidence25:19 Conclusion: Becoming Your Own Best Friend28:03 Final Thoughts and Call to ActionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEPWhen you catch yourself second-guessing, over-explaining, people-pleasing, or letting someone else's reply decide your mood, flip this two-step. It pulls you out of performing and back into Main Character Energy, moving you from overthinking to aligned action in under two minutes. Use it before you text back out of anxiety, before an automatic yes, or whenever your peace feels negotiable. One switch and you're back in the role you already own.STEP 1 — NOTICE, NAME & NOW INTERRUPT (Presence → Power) Pause. Hand to heart. Breathe. Name the loop: approval math / all-or-nothing / catastrophic forecasting. Ask: “What am I trying to secure—certainty, control, approval, or safety?” Then give your mind a better job and do the 90-second move—send the email once, pour the water, take the walk, say the boundary.STEP 2 — CREATE YOUR POWER LINES & EVOLVE (Proof → Confidence) Speak the identity you're embodying: “As a woman who [identity], I choose [behavior] because I value [standard].” Believability ≥7?

Hey Team! This week, I'm talking with Emmy-winning composers Kat Raio Rende and JP Rende, a husband and wife team who've written music for everyone from Elmo to the Jonas Brothers. But today we're talking about their project Aidee, a collection of songs designed to help kids with ADHD build everyday tools through music. I got a chance to listen through the album before the interview and it's honestly really great. Since having my own kids I've had the opportunity to listen to a lot of children's music, so I was pleasantly surprised with how good the songs actually are and how quickly the messages got into my head. Which leads right into what we Kat, JP and I talked about in the interview - how we can use music as a tool for memory and routines, why silly songs can be powerful ADHD strategies, and how turning everyday frustrations into sticky little tunes can lower shame and raise confidence. We also get into working with ADHD but also how to navigate working with a partner who has ADHD. We also touch on breathing exercises, dealing with shame, and the parenting tightrope of empathy and boundaries. AIDEE - Nothing Rhymes with Orange Full Album - https://www.youtube.com/@AIDEEHD Kat & JP website - https://www.earwormny.com/ If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/246 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips For our tips today, let's go through all those songs on the album, each of which is a tool in itself: Anything Else - Reminding us to check if there is anything else we need when we leave the house. Mad Mad (Jelly Belly) - which asks us to check in with ourselves when we're feeling dysregulated and seeing if maybe we just need to take a second to take care of our basic needs Put it Away - I think this one is pretty clear cut, don't put it down, put it away. Control - While one of the symptoms of ADHD is that we tend to be quite impulsive, we still have control over our actions - when you feel that impulse you can take a breath and decide if that's what you really want to do Learning More Everyday - We're a work in progress and while we'll have mistakes along the way, that's okay Breathe - when we're feeling overwhelmed it's important for us to slow down and take a second to breathe and get ourselves recenter And remember to hear all those songs just check out the Aidee Youtube channel - link in the show notes
A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
Parenting feels harder than ever, and I want you to know—you're not imagining it.As a mom and as someone who works with so many parents every day, I see how the mental load of modern parenting leaves us feeling exhausted, guilty, and overwhelmed. It's not bad parenting—it's our dysregulated brains trying to manage family life in an overstimulating world.In this episode, I'm unpacking why parenting feels so hard right now and what's really driving the stress so many of us carry. From screen time to isolation to the unrealistic standards placed on mothers and fathers today, I'll show you how these hidden stressors impact both you and your child.Most importantly, I'll share simple, calming strategies to reset your nervous system so you can parent with more patience, joy, and confidence.Why does parenting feel so hard right now?I hear this question from so many parents, and the truth is, modern parenting carries a mental load that previous generations didn't face. You're not failing—it's the world we're raising kids in today.Here's why parenting feels so heavy:Double-edged sword of screens: Helpful for quiet moments, but dysregulating for both adults and kids.Isolation from community: Unlike a generation ago, many parents don't have neighbors, friends, or family to lean on.Unrealistic standards: Contradictory advice, social media pressure, and guilt about not doing “enough.”Sandwich generation stress: Working parents juggling their own children, younger siblings, and even aging parents.Parenting today can feel like a full-time job without a break. And when your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, it's harder to stay patient, present, and consistent.Why do I lose my patience with my child so quickly?When raising children today, it's no wonder your nervous system slips into survival mode. Even the most loving parent can snap—it doesn't mean you're failing. It means your brain is overwhelmed.Here's what happens inside your brain:Stress hormones flood your system with cortisol and adrenaline.Executive functioning shuts down, so calm responses feel impossible.Your child's dysregulation mirrors back, and their meltdown triggers yours.The truth? A dysregulated brain can't parent a dysregulated child. Whether you're navigating small children, a baby, or even young adults, the reason parenting feels so exhausting often comes back to your nervous system.Giving yourself moments of quality time and noticing when you're feeling overwhelmed is the first step to calm—for you and your child.

In other words, She timelessly Is, and It is timelessly known. Her fragrance of peace remains unbroken, independent of whatever comings and goings (heavenly and hellish alike) take place through the constant growth, evolution and purification of the human dynamics and capacities in mind, body, and relationship. She imparts a trust beyond reason, when followed whole heartedly, merges in a love beyond comprehension" -_@forrestkolb"Whatever you do and wherever you are, relax and you will see how much power you will gain." - Amma"The Word who found a dwelling in Mary's womb comes to knock on the heart of every person with singluar intensity this Christmas." - St. John Paul II"Pray unceasingly until you are absolutely sure of the divine contact, then claim your physical, mental, or spiritual needs from the Most High as your divine birthright." - Yogananda

Episode 3752: Kate Hesse explores whether watching television counts as self-care or if it's simply a distraction. By highlighting the importance of intention, moderation, and how we engage with what we watch, she shows how TV can either drain our energy or serve as nourishment, connection, and even self-work when approached consciously. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nourishnestbreathe.com/is-watching-tv-self-care/ Quotes to ponder: "If you use the words 'zone out' when talking about your tv watching, again, chances are this activity is serving as a distraction." "Too much of anything can be a bad thing." "At the end of the day, tv isn't good or bad. It really boils down to your intention when you turn it on, what you choose to watch, how you choose to watch it, and how much of it you watch." Learn more about your ad choices.

Learn why uncertainty fuels anxiety and how noticing our body's stress signals can help us find calm.Summary: One in five adults in the U.S. report living with anxiety, and many of us struggle to control or avoid the feelings that come with it. Science shows that tuning into the body, rather than resisting discomfort, can actually reduce anxiety and strengthen resilience. Join us on The Science of Happiness as we explore what anxiety teaches us about control, uncertainty, and how to care for ourselves with more compassion.How To Do This Practice: Create a quiet moment for yourself: Find a space where you won't be interrupted—even just for 30 seconds. Close the door, silence your phone, and step away from distractions. Take a deep breath in: Begin with one slow, steady inhale. On the exhale, let your body soften. Keep your breathing gentle, not forced. Do a quick scan: Where are you holding stress? Maybe in your chest, shoulders, or jaw. Simply notice the tightness or pressure without trying to change it. Breathe into those sensations: With each inhale, imagine sending your breath to the place where stress lives in your body. With each exhale, release a little of that tension—like letting it flow out. Name what's on your mind: Ask yourself: What am I feeling? Am I anxious about the past, worried about the future, or caught up in uncertainty? You don't need to solve or fix anything—just acknowledge it. Let it go, even briefly: Tell yourself, I don't have to fix this right now. Allow the stress to soften as you exhale. Even 20–30 seconds can bring a sense of calm and clarity. Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.Today's Guests: JENNY LITTLE is a Health and Fitness Director at the Albany YMCA.DR.

EPISODE 15: The Stages of Grief: Sadness & Shopping Dying Laughing with Jessimae (Rereleased episode from 2020) In this rereleased episode—recorded just weeks after my mom passed—I tried to make sense of the unthinkable by doing what any grieving comedian-slash-daughter might do: I put the fun in orphan. This is one of the first raw reflections I recorded post-loss, and it's full of emotional spirals, weird shopping habits, and unexpected breakthroughs. I talk about the panic and disorientation that comes with becoming an adult orphan, the grief glow-up no one asks for, and how loss forces you to transform—whether you're ready or not. You'll hear: Why your mood can dictate your style How grief shows up in your body Ways to connect with loved ones after they're gone How nature heals sadness 5 surprisingly helpful ways to deal with uncertainty And how to feel grief through all five senses This episode was part of my personal Stages of Grief before we even broke down the classic five. If you're shopping sad, crying in the garden, or trying to parent yourself—you're not alone.
