Iron Radio: When More Training Isn't Better—Recovery, Identity, and Avoiding Burnout Hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss athletes who struggle to take breaks, emphasizing that high-level performers typically have a “release valve” and can relax outside their sport. They explain how training needs change from novice to advanced stages as heavier loads create greater recovery demands, making “less is more,” and note that aging and life stress can further reduce recovery capacity. The conversation covers signs of under-recovery (stale performance, persistently high RPE, reduced motivation, and appetite changes), the risks of overtraining, and strategies like reducing training frequency, coaching instead of doing more, adding hobbies and mindful recreation, proactive recovery practices, and using wearable data cautiously. They also highlight identity issues tied to the gym and the value of a third-party coach for perspective and accountability. 00:00 Welcome to Iron Radio 01:09 Why Athletes Need Breaks 03:05 When More Stops Working 05:10 Tracking Then Letting Go 06:18 Life Stress and Recovery 08:06 Recovery Tools and Hobbies 11:17 Identity Beyond the Gym 13:50 Mindful Play and Metrics 16:01 Show Updates and Links 19:32 Motivation as a Warning Sign 23:27 Discipline Versus Burnout 30:25 Capacity Building Long Term 32:47 Different Types of Recovery 33:40 Wrap Up and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Rural communities face some of the most complex and often overlooked public health challenges. Today, Melanie Ramsey, deputy director of CDC's Office of Rural Health, discusses how a new national effort is working to close those gaps.  The Rural Health Academy is a growing initiative designed to strengthen the capacity of state and local health leaders. Ramsey will share how the Academy is fostering peer-to-peer learning, connecting federal and state partners, and equipping leaders with practical tools to better serve rural populations.  Some states are exploring creative solutions like housing incentives for health workers, while new federal coordination efforts aim to align strategy and funding across agencies.  Ramsey also highlights CDC's Rural Public Health Training Plan, a free, self-paced program built to deliver real-world, scenario-based training to anyone working in rural health.National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network | HomeAbout the Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke | Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke | CDCProject Firstline | Project Firstline | CDCRural Health Mapping ToolRural Health Science Tips | Rural Health | CDCRural Public Health Training Plan - CDC TRAIN - an affiliate of the TRAIN Learning Network powered by the Public Health FoundationRural Public Health | Rural Health | CDCASTHO Policy Institute Lunch & Learn Series: Modernizing and Strengthening Data For STI PreventionFunding & Collaboration Opportunities | ASTHO

As Christian women in leadership, it is important to alleviate burnout. When you do, you open the door for peace of mind, healthier relationships, and a closer relationship to Christ. Christian women in leadership who experience anxiety often feel the need for control, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and even avoidance. These can lead to burnout. For overall health and wellness, it is crucial to alleviate burnout. Faith and Leadership: A Seamless Integration Faith isn't just for Sundays. It's about integrating your beliefs into every aspect of your life, especially in leadership roles at work and home. Understanding the Dynamics of Burnout Burnout doesn't happen overnight. It develops subtly, starting with chronic stress and progressing if not managed properly. I Aligning Body, Mind, and Spirit To alleviate burnout, it's crucial to align your body, mind, and spirit. Building Capacity and Setting Boundaries Capacity isn't just resilience; it involves setting boundaries and understanding personal limits. Co-Creation with God Faith is a powerful tool for increasing capacity. Navigating Secular Environments with Faith In secular work environments, openly expressing faith might be challenging. However, actions often speak louder than words. The Role of Community and Support Systems No one should face burnout alone. Harnessing the Power of the Holy Spirit Let the Holy Spirit guide you in your leadership journey. Practical Tools for Daily Renewal Incorporate daily practices that nourish your soul and prevent burnout. A Compassionate Approach to Leadership Incorporating Christian values into leadership roles doesn't just benefit you; it positively impacts your team and community.

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Lukis Mac and Hella Omega explore self-love as a daily practice of meeting yourself unconditionally, tuning into what you truly need and backing that love with aligned action, rather than seeking approval, validation, or external rewards.They discuss how childhood conditioning can create conditional self-worth through achievement, people-pleasing, food, shopping, and other coping mechanisms. They emphasize the importance of self-sourcing your needs to break these loops and build self-trust by keeping promises to yourself.The conversation highlights the somatic impact of self-abandonment, especially for empaths, and the level of effort required to realign with personal power, authenticity, and disciplined growth, without falling into self-loathing.They share practices for connecting with your future self, including meditation, breathwork, and journaling, reframing effort as a form of spiritual devotion.

Saint Lucia's healthcare system has received a major boost with the official handover of critical medical equipment and vehicles under two significant health sector initiatives. The projects, the Building Capacity and Resilience in the Health Sector Project, and the Building Public Health System Resilience Project are being implemented by the Government of Saint Lucia in partnership with the Caribbean Development Bank. The official ceremony marks another important milestone in the country's ongoing efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery, enhance emergency response capabilities, and build long-term resilience across the national health system.  

Teen mental health is in crisis—but what if some of the solutions we've embraced are actually making things worse?In this episode, I unpack a surprising finding highlighted by Olga Khazan in The Atlantic: a school program that taught teenagers dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills resulted in worse mental-health outcomes and poorer relationships with parents compared with a standard health class.How could a respected therapy approach backfire when taught in schools?We explore an uncomfortable possibility: when psychological frameworks are applied universally to healthy teens, they can sometimes create iatrogenic effects—harm caused by the intervention itself.In this episode we discuss:• Why many well-intentioned youth programs—from D.A.R.E. to self-esteem curricula—have failed to deliver results• How teaching adolescents to constantly monitor their thoughts can unintentionally increase distress• The difference between resilience and psychological capacity• Why teenagers may need challenge, responsibility, and competence-building more than emotional analysis• Practical ways parents can help children develop the ability to handle stress, failure, and uncertaintyParents today are told their children are fragile and constantly at risk. But raising mentally healthy adults may depend on something different: building the capacity to carry the weight of life rather than trying to remove the weight altogether.This episode offers a practical framework for parents who want to support their children's mental health without unintentionally undermining their strength.

“Building Capacity: Becoming the Person Who Can Handle More”How Pressure Expands You Instead of Breaking YouGrowth often looks like pressure before it looks like progress.In the final episode of the High Performance, Healthy Mind series, we explore what it really means to build the mental and emotional capacity needed to handle bigger opportunities, greater responsibility, and the weight that often comes with growth.Many of us ask for more — more success, more influence, more impact — but we don't always realize that every new level requires a stronger mindset and greater emotional endurance. The truth is, pressure doesn't just test you… it expands you.In this episode, we dive into how challenging seasons can actually strengthen your ability to navigate stress, lead with clarity, and stay grounded even when life demands more from you.In this conversation, you'll learn:What “capacity” really means and why it matters for growthHow pressure and discomfort can expand your mental strengthThe difference between healthy stretch and overwhelming overloadWhy identity plays a major role in how much you can handleSimple practices that help you build resilience and emotional enduranceIf you've ever felt like life is asking more from you than you're ready for, this episode will help you see those moments in a new way.Sometimes the weight you're carrying isn't meant to break you — it's meant to prepare you.And the person you're becoming may be stronger than you realize.

What if the real reason your concussion rehab isn't progressing… has nothing to do with the exercises you're doing?

Disappointment is one of those emotions we try to avoid at all costs. We brace for it, plan around it, and sometimes talk ourselves out of wanting things altogether just so we won't have to feel it. But what if disappointment isn't something to protect yourself from? What if it's actually pointing you toward growth? In this episode, I'm unpacking why disappointment feels so uncomfortable, why we instinctively avoid it, and how you can grow your capacity for it to live bigger, braver, and more honestly.

Click here to send me a quick message :) Many of us are feeling the wobbliness of the world right now. It's not easy to know what to say, how to engage with our daily lives, or really what's going to happen.And while that can feel destabilizing (obvs), it can also be a really good time to consider our own personal resilience -- to honor that, listen within, and build towards greater capacity. This is not the same for every person.So how can you explore this for yourself? And what practices and herbs could be supportive to help you build capacity in stressful times?That's what I explore in this week's episode.Tune in to hear about how stress can mess with your hormones, one way to map your current stress response landscape (inspired by Deb Dana), and some practices and herbs that might be able to support you to prevent burnout and instead build your reserves and capacity for a longer term resilience.Honestly, herbs and practices like this don't change the systems, structures, relationships, etc that are underlying and causing chronic issues.But these practices CAN help you listen to your own body and build foundations of personalized wellbeing amidst these topsy turvy times.Resources: Track Your Cycle Free GuideWaitlist for Natural Contraception the Herbal WayToday's shownotes: Foundations for building capacityEpisode 17: How stress messes with your hormonesEpisode 68: Herbal spotlight on Milky OatsEpisode 171: Somatic Experiencing for healing trauma w Emma SchurinkBook: Anchored by Deb DanaIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

In this episode of Volunteer Nation Podcast, Tobi Johnson welcomes back Amira Barger, award-winning communications executive, educator, and author of The Price of Nice: Why Comfort Keeps Us Stuck and Four Actions for Real Change. Together, they explore how “niceness” often operates as a form of social control, especially in workplaces, nonprofits, and volunteer-driven organizations, and why prioritizing comfort can come at a steep cost to individuals, teams, and missions. This conversation challenges leaders to rethink performative politeness and replace it with courage, clarity, and values-aligned action. If you've ever held back from speaking up to avoid rocking the boat, this episode will resonate deeply.Full show notes: 194.

How are local and international teams working together to offer reconstructive urology in resource-constrained settings? This week on BackTable Urology, Dr. Jane Kurtzman (University of Utah) joins Dr. George Koch (Ohio State University) to discuss the realities, challenges, and opportunities of international surgical work. --- SYNPOSIS They break down how global urology programs differ in structure, why cultural understanding is foundational, and what sustainable models look like in practice. The conversation highlights unmet reconstructive needs in low- and middle-income countries, evolving models for subspecialty development, and the growing role of long-term partnerships in shaping the future of global urology. --- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Introduction4:46 - Understanding Healthcare Systems Abroad8:12 - Need for Global Urology13:39 - Role of Reconstructive Urology Abroad21:57 - Current Programs27:20 - GU Impacts39:35 - Building Capacity through Training49:00 - Past Successes58:38 - Future Directions1:14:12 - Getting Involved --- RESOURCES GU Impactshttps://medicine.utah.edu/surgery/urology/gu-impacts IVUMedhttps://www.ivumed.org/ Urology Care Foundationhttps://www.urologyhealth.org/humanitarianism

Send us a textWhat if lasting change isn't about willpower, but capacity? We sit down with holistic health counselor and behavior change expert Hadlee Garrison, MPH, to unpack how small, elastic habits and nervous system regulation outperform detoxes, rigid plans, and the all-or-nothing mindset. Hadley blends evidence-based behavior science with Ayurveda, food psychology, and circadian rhythm tools to help people rebuild energy, settle their bodies, and shift identity from perfectionist hustle to sustainable self-trust.We trace Hadlee's personal journey from knowing the research to living the extremes—crash dieting, overtraining, and spiraling into shame—before discovering why those strategies backfire. You'll learn how “everything counts” reframes progress, how to use pinnacle/middle/baseline goals so you never start over, and how removing moral labels from food, movement, and rest creates space for honest feedback. We also dive into somatic practices—like self-touch and daily self-massage—that calm the nervous system and make room for better choices, even on tough days.The conversation turns deeply human as we explore shame, self-forgiveness, and intuition. When shame is met with neutrality, your inner voice gets louder and kinder, making the gray zone not just tolerable but productive. From there, identity-based habits become automatic, freeing your mind for what matters: relationships, purpose, and joy. If you've tried hacks and stalled, this is a practical, compassionate roadmap for rebuilding capacity and letting small wins add up to a life that fits. Listen, try one tiny action today, and tell us what you'll count as a win.

Walking Shield has spent nearly four decades improving quality of life for Native communities across the United States—bridging sovereign tribal nations with philanthropy, federal agencies, and the U.S. military.  Alongside the Walking Shield team, Executive Director, Dr. John Castillo, and Senior Fellow, Mariano Diaz help tribes build the capacity needed to secure federal funding, strengthen infrastructure, and advance true self-determination. Their work blends grassroots trust-building with systems-level strategy, supporting tribes on projects ranging from road repairs and water access to energy development, environmental co-management, and leadership planning. This Episode: What does true collaboration with tribal nations require? Dr. John Castillo and Mariano Diaz highlight the deep assets that guide Native communities, including long-standing governance traditions, cultural and environmental knowledge, and a strong commitment to collective well-being. They share how Walking Shield helps tribes use these strengths to access federal resources, plan for long-term development, and steward land and water. They also discuss the systemic barriers tribes still face, such as underinvestment and complex federal requirements, and how capacity-building can make a meaningful difference. Together with Grant, they explore San Diego's uniquely rich tribal landscape, the growing promise of co-management of natural resources, and why trust, relationship-building, and listening first are essential for any partnership with Indian Country. At its heart, the conversation offers a long view of resilience and strategy, reminding us that when Native leadership is honored and communities have the tools to act on their priorities, progress becomes both possible and lasting. Key Moments: [9:40] San Diego has the most tribes per capita and what that means for the region  [14:02] The capacity gap: why many tribes can't access federal funds designed for them  [16:34] Everybody benefits: how the National Guard helped rebuild dangerous reservation roads  [34:10] Co-management, water rights, and environmental stewardship  [51:15] What partnership looks like when it works  Resources Mentioned: Walking Shield – Improving quality of life for Native communities since 1986 Southern California Tribal Chairmen's Association – Regional tribal leadership and coordination Prebys Foundation's BRIDGE Initiative – Supporting organizations that expand community capacity Take Action: Read and Learn More— Explore the history and present realities of San Diego's tribal nations. Build Relationships — If you work in philanthropy, government, or community development, ask how you can learn directly from tribal leaders. Support Sovereignty — Advocate for funding systems that recognize tribal governments' authority and needs. Visit and Listen — When invited, spend time on tribal lands to understand local priorities firsthand. Keep the Long View — Remember that partnership, persistence, and shared purpose can outlast political cycles. 

Welcome back to the Top Contractor School Podcast, where contractors come to grow stronger, scale smarter, and lead businesses that last. In this episode, Eric Guy sits down with Tim Klimchock, CPA, CCIFP, and founder of Collaborative Advisory Group, to break down what financial capacity really means—and how contractors can use data, discipline, and better systems to fuel sustainable growth.

Have you ever felt that quiet pressure to do it right — eat right, work right, rest right, even “heal” right — and wondered why it feels so heavy? In this episode, I'm exploring the hidden cost of trying to get it right — especially for ADHD women who are already juggling so much. This layer of perfectionism isn't about chasing approval; it's about trying to prevent chaos, exhaustion, or the overwhelm that comes when things go wrong. I share stories from my own life — from childhood moments of not being believed to adult experiences that taught me to stay hyper-vigilant — and unpack how this pattern is really a nervous system strategy for safety, not flawlessness. You'll learn how to recognize when your “do it right” part is trying to protect you, how to reconnect with your Self (the calm, compassionate center that knows what to do), and how to build the skills and structure that help you feel safe enough to be imperfect. Because true freedom doesn't come from doing it all right — it comes from knowing you can handle it when you don't. Mentioned in the episode: Check out my journal-book experience The Self-Loved Woman Way: How to Stop Playing Small with ADHD”.  It is a tangible journal-book that comes in a keepsake box with sensory items I selected to help you do this work - the deeper work of healing.

She began her career as a social worker working in neighborhood development efforts in Washington, DC to support and strengthen families to prevent family violence and overcome hardship. However, a move to a military town with her active-duty military spouse, re-focused her on work with military families. She served as a Child Protective Services officer in Onslow County, North Carolina and worked extensively with military families. After completing her Ph.D. in Social Work at the University of Maryland, Dr. Hisle-Gorman taught and worked in community development and was the senior author on one of the first articles to document the clinical effects of military deployment on children. She subsequently moved to USUHS to expand its research portfolio exploring the effects of military life on children. Her research interests are focused the impact of past military deployment on military children, effects of parental injury and family violence on pediatric health and mental health, and healthcare usage trends in military pediatrics. However, she has also worked on projects examining autism in children, indicators of immunization completion, neonatal health, care for transgender individuals, healthcare disparities, and the effects of medications on children. Dr. Hisle-Gorman has significant experience working with the Military Health System Data Repository and conducting retrospective research studies about military-connected children using the MDR. Dr. Hisle-Gorman most enjoys mentoring medical students, residents, and junior faculty on research projects, and teaching them the research process on an individual basis.   Dr. Binny Chokshi is a general pediatrician, with a focus on adolescents and young adults. Dr. Chokshi's research and education interests are focused on understanding the impact of early life stressors on health across the life course. To mitigate the effects of trauma and stress on children, Dr. Chokshi advocates for a trauma-informed approach to healthcare. She has developed web-based e-modules to train outpatient pediatricians in responding to childhood adversity with a trauma-informed care approach and has also trained medical students and residents at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. In a prior role at Children's National Hospital, she also worked with hospital leadership to develop hospital wide trauma-informed practices. In her current role at USUHS, Dr. Chokshi examines how military specific factors may impact child and and family health, with a current focus on how social determinants of health such as food security impact military child health.  Dr. Chokshi is also passionate on promoting positive childhood experiences, to foster healthy development in children and counter the impacts of stressful experiences.  Dr. Chokshi has a vested interest in medical education and completed Masters in Education at the George Washington University School of Education and Human Development. On a national level, Dr. Chokshi serves on the Expert Leadership Team for the American Academy of Pediatrics project “Building Capacity for Trauma-Informed Pediatric Care”.   

Send us a textEpisode #147: Too many finance teams are stuck formatting data while the decisions fly by. We tackle a smarter way to work: build capacity by aligning effort to strategy, automating the grind, and developing the skills that turn reports into results. Stephen McLean walks through a practical approach for FP&A and accounting leaders who want to shield their teams from noise, prioritize what matters, and partner with IT to unlock automation without a costly tech overhaul. The focus is simple—reduce friction, raise insight, and spend more time advising than assembling.We start with clarity: how to map every role and deliverable to a strategic objective, choose the leading indicators that actually drive action, and say no to work that doesn't move the needle. From there, we dig into process and systems—standardizing inputs, automating routine pulls and reconciliations, and using collaborative workspaces so knowledge isn't trapped in inboxes. Along the way, we challenge the culture of daily fire drills and offer a guardrail: route ad-hoc requests through a priority gate so the team's best hours aren't lost to random tasks.Finally, we talk people. Coaching time management, building stronger analysis and storytelling skills, and running short, focused development sprints can transform morale and output. A tighter partnership with IT helps you ship quick wins—scheduled queries, clean templates, and self-serve dashboards—that free analysts to interpret trends and shape choices. Expect clear takeaways you can apply this week: an audit of calendars and tasks, a skills plan that sticks, and an automation backlog that delivers measurable time back.Episode outline:Clarify priorities and align with strategic goals,Leverage tools and automation, andBuild capacity through development.Please connect with me on:1.

Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at how I navigate the messy, beautiful balance of motherhood and entrepreneurship, and what it really means to build the capacity to hold it all.

District math improvement plans can't succeed if we try to do everything at once. For meaningful change to happen, leaders need to go narrow.In this episode, we explore why narrowing focus is so difficult for districts and schools, even when everyone knows it's the right move. We unpack the fears leaders face—picking the “wrong” focus, pressure from external demands, or the worry that one shift won't meet everyone's needs. We also dig into why saying “yes” to one math priority means saying “no” to others, and how failing to narrow leads to surface-level adoption without real impact.We highlight what going narrow actually requires:How narrowing your focus unlocks the flywheel effect and avoids the “doom loop” of initiative fatigue.The resources, coaching, and leadership support it actually takes to create meaningful change.How to map backward using the If-Then-How framework so you can be realistic about what your team can accomplish in one year.Why choosing one structural change—like optimizing PLCs for lesson study and curriculum mastery—requires more than a memo; it requires follow-up, facilitation, capacity building, and monitoring.If you've ever felt the tension between wanting to “do it all” and the nagging realization that lasting math improvement requires focus, this episode is for you.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Ambivalence isn't confusion or weakness, it's your nervous system doing its job. Feeling both joy and grief, relief and loss, fear and excitement, is not dysfunction but survival wisdom. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace unpack ambivalence as a neurobiological phenomenon: how the brain and body construct emotions, why conflicting truths arise during transformation, and how to metabolize them without collapse. You'll learn to notice the tug-of-war between emotions, expand capacity to sit with duality, and reframe ambivalence as part of post-traumatic growth. By honoring both sides, joy and sorrow, fear and courage, you can create deeper connection with yourself and move through change with clarity and trust.

The role of interoception and emotional vocabulary in healing. Transformation and identity shifts as triggers for ambivalence. Attachment needs versus authenticity during change.

What does it look like to build Bridges in real time?In this episode, we highlight the story of a district leader who knows she can't do the work of math improvement alone. She identified her Bridges—instructional mentors and department chairs—and committed to building their capacity in two intertwined ways:Deeply internalizing the district's math objective around discourse Equipping Bridges as instructional leaders We break down the specific moves that were made to build this capacity, including modeling math discourse strategies, using monitoring tools for growth, and creating space for Bridges to practice facilitation. We also share how she is defining success for this school year—and why her compound approach matters.By building up her Bridges, she ensures the work reaches classrooms consistently. She knows she's only one person, but by positioning these leaders strategically, she multiplies her impact across the system.Key Takeaways:Why Bridges are essential to scaling math improvementTwo strands of capacity building: deep math understanding and leadership practiceSpecific strategies for equipping Bridges to lead at the school levelHow monitoring tools and facilitation practice help Bridges grow into instructional leadersWhy a compound approach (building others to build capacity) creates sustainable changeNot sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

12 week : P*rn Recovery // Online Small Group, Starting late August Lead by Aaron Zint w/ 10+ years of experience walking men into Wholeness Sign up here: https://pillar.io/thezints/checkout/002cb6d0-5d07-11f0-a37f-93965abef48bI'm Jason Vallotton, and in this second episode of our Brave Co addiction series, I dive deep with my friend Aaron Zint—one of the most resilient men I've ever known. We trace his journey from childhood s*xual trauma and early exposure to p*rnography, all the way through marriage, relapse, and ultimately, healing. Together, we unpack how addictive patterns form not out of weakness or sin, but out of unresolved pain, disconnection, and a lack of agency.Aaron shares how addiction became his “solution” when life's weight exceeded his capacity to carry it. We talk vulnerability, passivity, and the hard work it takes to confront the pain beneath the behavior. You'll hear how learning to take responsibility, to embrace uncomfortable conversations, and to connect deeply with a community transformed his life—and continues to guide hundreds of men through recovery.This isn't a quick‑fix approach. Instead, it's about lasting transformation: addressing shame, building inner structure, and living within intentional, accountable relationships. Whether you're dealing with p*rnography, alcohol, or another addiction, this episode gives clear tools to identify your real obstacles—and begin building capacity, connection, and courage.Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction & Free Brave Co Courses  02:00 – Why This Series Matters (Addiction Series Overview)  05:00 – What Addiction Really Is: Point A to Point B  06:45 – Aaron's Early Exposure: Abuse & Childhood P*rn  09:00 – Signs You're Addicted Even When You Don't Feel “Addicted”  11:10 – A Spiritual Turning Point & Temporary Sobriety  13:00 – How Passivity Leads to Powerlessness and Addiction  16:00 – P*rn Is Not the Problem—it's How We Cope  18:30 – Building Capacity with Courage, Connection & Community  23:00 – Invitation to “Numb to Known” 12‑Week Group Starting Aug 2025  ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

Most of us have figured out how to hold it all together when things feel heavy, but what about when life feels good? Corinne Morahan opens up about a quiet tension that many high-achieving women experience: the discomfort that comes with ease. She shares how years of stress, pressure, and responsibility can condition us to feel safer in chaos than in calm, and how that pattern can quietly limit the good we allow in whether it's love, rest, success, or connection. If joy feels unfamiliar or fleeting, there's probably a reason.   Corinne talks about her own process of learning to receive and hold more of the good stuff. She breaks down the nervous system's role in this work, offers practical tools like EFT tapping, and challenges the idea that happiness needs to be earned through struggle. Have you ever caught yourself downplaying something great? Do you feel more equipped to survive than to celebrate? This episode invites you to notice those patterns and gently create space for more ease, more peace, and more of what you've always wanted.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Holding More Pain Than Joy 02:48 Building Capacity for Pleasure and Joy 03:54 Why We Normalize Struggle 04:26 Creating Success from Alignment and Ease 05:29 The Nervous System's Role in Receiving Good 07:26 Practical Tools to Expand Your Capacity for Ease 09:45 Making Celebration a Daily Practice 11:35 Learning to Trust the Sustainability of Goodness 12:48 Reflecting on the Good You May Be Brushing Off   Links Feeling stuck in your career, business, or what's next?
