Pastors don't start cynical or burned out. But somewhere along the way, the wine runs out and we keep preaching, leading, and carrying burdens we were never meant to carry.In a Practically Pastoring Conference session, Tim Wildsmith walks through John 2:1–11 and connects it with Matthew 11:28–30, offering a simple but piercing invitation: name the need, surrender the burden, and pursue soul rest in Jesus before ministry emptiness turns into something worse.Follow Tim Wildsmith:Website: https://timwildsmith.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@timwildsmithInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/timwildsmithX: https://x.com/timwildsmithFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimWildsmith/Timestamps:00:00 – Tim's story (Belmont, YouTube, Bible nerd life)03:44 – Why this talk (ministry grind, running on empty)05:42 – Reading: John 2:1–11 (Wedding at Cana)08:02 – When the wine runs out (ministry parallels)10:29 – Mary's model: “They have no more wine” (name the need)12:57 – Burnout realities + overwhelming expectations15:28 – Matthew 11:28–30: where do you go for rest?19:23 – The “rock” exercise: why we don't want to set burdens down22:12 – What is the soul?

Success is supposed to feel incredible. But what happens when winning stops fulfilling you? In this deeply raw episode, we uncover a truth few high performers openly admit:
We are inside the field of the upcoming Solar Eclipse and the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, a rare pivotal week.On February 17, 2026, the Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius activates the North Node (the dragon's head), symbolizing appetite, growth, and evolutionary pull. In myth, the nodes were imagined as a dragon: the head hungry and grasping, the tail releasing and purging. When the eclipse aligns with the North Node, desire intensifies. Restlessness increases. The future presses forward.In Aquarius, that hunger becomes collective.We grow dissatisfied with outdated systems.We feel the strain of identities that no longer fit.We sense that the status quo cannot sustain what is coming.This eclipse also squares Uranus in Taurus — the Maverick-Awakener grounded in the material world. Vision must root. Innovation must sustain life. Revolution must be embodied.This New Moon Solar Eclipse is a preview of the larger Leo–Aquarius nodal shift later this year. The story of belonging, leadership, community, and collective responsibility is only beginning.And then we widen the lens.Saturn and Neptune are moving toward their conjunction on February 20th at 0° Aries — the very first degree of the zodiac. The last time these two met at this degree was nearly 6,000 years ago, during the dawn of early written language and formal calendar systems. Humanity was naming reality. Establishing shared agreements about time, meaning, and order.We are standing at a similar threshold.Saturn (structure, law, accountability) meets Neptune (vision, dissolution, transcendence). Together, they reset the boundary between what is real and what is imagined.We are renegotiating reality.Collectively, this may show up as institutions dissolving or restructuring, illusions surfacing, and new definitions of identity and authority emerging.Personally, this week may bring:Dissatisfaction without a clear replacementA call to build something meaningfulA quiet recognition that an old agreement has expiredA hunger for the future that must be guided with maturityThis is not a week for impulsive action.It is a week for orientation.Nearly 6,000 years ago, humans were deciding how to name the world.What are we naming now?Something is being written again.And you are not outside that story.Reflection Questions:Where in my life am I being asked to renegotiate what is “real” — based on lived truth rather than habit or fear? (Notice where old assumptions no longer fit, even if nothing external has fully changed yet.)What am I hungry for — and is that hunger aligned with integrity or urgency? (The North Node's appetite needs wise stewardship.)If I were naming my world anew from maturity rather than survival, what would I consciously call forward? (Think language, identity, agreements, roles.)Podcast Poem: Let Them Not Say by Jane HirshfieldSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

If “I don't have time” is your most-used sentence…while you're also exhausted, overwhelmed and secretly scared of burning out again, this episode is for you.In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we pull apart what's really going on when you feel like you have to do everything perfectly or there's no point doing anything at all.We talk about:- Why trying to overhaul your entire life in one hit always ends the same way: burnout, guilt and another restart.- The mental load of work, kids, home, health and why your brain is already full before you even think about the gym.- How “I'll start when things calm down” keeps you stuck for years.- The power of a few simple non-negotiables – tiny anchors that keep you steady when life gets chaotic.- How to build a routine that fits your real life, not the fantasy version in your head.If you're sick of starting strong and crashing a few weeks later, or feeling like the only way to change is to run yourself into the ground, this episode will help you swap doing it all for doing what matters…consistently.

Chuck Collins is the Director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he co-edits Inequality.org. His newest book is “Burned By Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power Ae Ruining Our Lives and Planet” Inequality is a major problem . Humans daily lives are being disrupted by people with immense power in the areas of health, wellbeing, environment, housing costs, and democracy The Second Gilded Age and Robber Barons perpetuate the myth of the Trickle-Down Theory. The middle Class is shrinking, and Project 2025 wants to gut labor unions, eliminate child labor laws, and decimate workplace safety. Big money robs Americans of their vote and voice. The UN can play a critical role in convening its members to develop standards to limit corruption, money laundering, and offshore banking, along with the G-20 countries moving forward more rapidly with their Global Wealth Tax.
Episode 199 feels like a classic Special Conditions hang—one part “this card rules,” one part “how did that just happen,” and one part real-life hobby grind. We start with Flamigo as the Card-of-the-Day and why United Wings is such a satisfying little engine when it's clicking. Then we get into the moment that basically defined the episode: Adam hits an Iono to 3, thinks it's over… and still ends up watching the comeback line appear anyway. From there we talk what Sydney and Santiago might be telling us with EUIC around the corner, swing behind the booth for the Whatnot recap (wins, losses, lessons), and finish with Justin ramping back into competitive mode for Houston—plus a few budget “sleepers & steals” we like right now and what's been on our content radar lately. 00:00:30 Patreon + Show Intro 00:03:15 Card of the Day — Flamigo (United Wings) 00:07:45 Burned or Learned (TCG Live story) 00:19:15 Meta Minute — Sydney + Santiago results 00:30:45 Break + Patron shoutouts 00:32:00 Behind the Booth — Whatnot + show plug 00:47:30 Leave it or leave it — Road to Houston / deck choice talk 00:51:30 Sleepers & Steals — budget picks 00:58:15 Pack opening + card talk 00:59:15 Status: Recommended 01:14:15 Wrap

Feeling stuck in old classroom routines that drain your energy and limit student ownership? Wondering how to reset your learning space without adding more to your plate? In this Chinese New Year–inspired episode, I explore how the traditions of renewal, clearing space, and beginning again can guide a powerful classroom reset. Drawing on my own experience teaching in Hong Kong and across international schools, I share how small, intentional shifts in learning environment design, student voice, and co-creation can transform teacher-led classrooms into active, student-centered spaces. You'll learn: Why student-centered learning often fails without an intentional classroom reset How to "sweep away" outdated routines before adding new strategies Simple ways to redesign classroom space to signal agency, flexibility, and collaboration How co-designing routines, questions, and success criteria builds real student ownership Why renewal, vulnerability, and starting again are essential for sustainable change If you're an international educator feeling the mid-year slump, this episode offers a practical, culturally grounded way to reset your classroom, renew your energy, and invite students into deeper engagement and responsibility.

In January 1923, the Black town of Rosewood, Florida was surrounded, burned, and erased after a white woman accused a Black man of assault—an accusation never proven and never investigated. Over the course of several days, white mobs hunted residents, destroyed homes and churches, and forced families to flee into swamps and forests to survive. When it was over, Rosewood no longer existed—and no one was held accountable.In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, Brittany Ransom examines the Rosewood Massacre, one of the most devastating and least discussed acts of racial violence in American history. We break down how false accusations, racial hysteria, and government inaction led to the destruction of an entire Black community, why official death tolls never matched survivor testimony, and how the state of Florida failed to protect its own citizens.This episode is part of a Black History Month series exploring violence against Black Americans, alongside the Tulsa Race Massacre, the murder of Emmett Till, and the assassination of Fred Hampton. Though Rosewood was buried for decades, survivors eventually forced the truth into the light—leading to a rare moment of accountability when Florida acknowledged its role and paid reparations.Follow and join the conversation:

She didn't start over, she started wiser... This week's episode is a conversation that feels especially close to home. I'm sitting down with a longtime client — a mom, academic director, and a woman who, like so many of us, has spent years putting everyone else first. After experiencing both success and setbacks (including a health scare that forced her to reevaluate everything), Renita Craig found herself starting over… again. But what followed wasn't a quick fix or extreme reset — it was something far more powerful: steady, sustainable consistency. We talk about weight regain without shame, rebuilding discipline during a busy season of life, and what it really looks like to prioritize your health in your late 40s when your calendar is full and motivation isn't always there. This episode is for any woman who feels behind, discouraged, or like she has to be perfect to make progress. Her story is proof that you're not starting from scratch — you're starting from experience. And it's never too late to come back stronger. Follow Renita on Instagram: @renitarochella

Most burnout isn't caused by workload—it's caused by misalignment. That uncomfortable truth emerged from a live Leadership Lab session where chefs gathered to confront the weight they'd been carrying that wasn't actually theirs to hold.Register for The Leadership Lab"Naming the problem automatically means you are owning it. You can't name it and walk away."In this episode of Chef Life Radio, we explore the profound difference between leadership defined by frantic motion and leadership anchored in grounded presence. What you'll hear isn't motivation or theory—it's the raw clarity that surfaces when chefs slow down long enough to tell the truth about where they're misaligned.The Weight That Doesn't Belong to YouDiscover the two types of misalignment that drain culinary leaders:External disconnect between expectations and reality of your resourcesInternal chasm between your current role and internalized idealsWhy fighting the reality of your job creates constant subconscious struggle.Through real examples from the session, we examine how a high-volume operations manager can exhaust themselves trying to be a bespoke artisan chef, and why that identity conflict becomes the true source of burnout.AB Techniccal College | Culinary ProgramThe Leadership Loop for Permanent ChangeLearn the five-step framework that moves you from seeing dysfunction to enacting lasting transformation:Sensing problems through presence and attentionNaming issues (which automatically means owning them)Communicating clearly without system blamingModeling the correct behavior yourselfHolding the line when integrity conflicts with keeping people comfortableFrom Effort Extraction to PresenceExplore how successful chefs identified their version of "unnecessary spreadsheets"—those extra tasks we create to validate our worth through visible effort rather than actual impact:Why over-delivering often serves our need for validation, not client needsThe difference between motion and meaningful progressHow to ground leadership in clarity instead of excessive effortThe Power of Choice You've Been AvoidingConfront the terrifying reality that you still have agency in your career and life. We examine why inaction feels safer than acknowledging choice, and how old agreements made years ago continue dictating your present reality without conscious review.The conversation reveals why beating yourself up over past choices is unproductive, and how context changes everything about what decisions serve you now.Operational Definitions That Set You FreeThrough the story of a chef whose company is literally called "Culinary Mechanic," discover how accepting the reality of your role—rather than fighting for a romanticized...
We've been sold a version of "work-life balance" that sounds great on paper, but terrible in real life. If you've ever changed jobs, started a private practice, or rearranged your schedule hoping this would finally make things feel calm--only to find yourself just as stressed as before--this episode is for you. I went live in the Work-Life Balance for Speech Pathologists Facebook group and shared three big lies we've been told about balance and why they quietly keep high-achieving SLPs stuck, overwhelmed, and exhausted.What You'll LearnWhy balance is not universal and why trying to copy someone else's version will always backfireWhy balance doesn't come from your schedule or circumstances, even when everything “looks good” on paperWhy balance isn't a destination, but a skill you build (and rebuild) in different seasonsWhy private practice flexibility alone doesn't prevent burnoutHow reclaiming balance starts internally, not with another schedule tweak To find out how I can help you improve your work-life balance, click here.

Many sales leaders believe their teams are burned out—but the truth is far more subtle and far more dangerous. In this episode, Ray Higdon explains why most sales teams are not burned out at all. They are quietly disengaged. Unlike burnout, which is loud and obvious, disengagement is silent. People stop showing up, stop participating, and slowly fade away without ever saying a word. Ray breaks down the three primary reasons sales reps disengage, including leadership messaging that does not speak to them, leaders prioritizing their own goals over their team's goals, and the loss of hope caused by unrealistic success stories. This episode is essential for sales leaders, network marketing leaders, entrepreneurs, and managers who want to re-engage their teams, improve retention, and lead with clarity instead of pressure. —

Today's episode is one every woman needs right now — because if you're feeling distracted, exhausted, overwhelmed, or like your brain has 47 tabs open at all times… you're not alone. We're joined by psychologist, behavioral scientist, and author Dr. Zelana Montminy, whose work focuses on resilience, focus, and what it actually takes to feel grounded in a world that constantly pulls at our attention. And no — this isn't about productivity hacks or doing more. It's about coming back to yourself. We talk about why so many women are living in low-grade burnout without realizing it, how multitasking and being “always available” is quietly frying our nervous systems, and why distraction isn't just a kids' problem — it's an adult epidemic. Dr. Zelana breaks down how focus isn't about grinding or optimizing — it's about presence and intention. We get into simple, realistic shifts that actually help: micro moments of calm, rethinking your relationship with your phone, why silence matters more than you think, and how modeling regulation (not perfection) changes everything — especially for our kids. If you've ever thought, Why can't I focus anymore? Why am I so tired? Why does everything feel urgent? — this episode will leave you feeling seen, understood, and a little more grounded by the time it ends. A Sony Music Entertainment production.

Burnout isn't a personal failure; it's a physiological response to prolonged stress. Unfortunately, it often appears in military spouse life more frequently than we realize. In this episode, we delve deeper into what burnout actually is, why military spouses are particularly vulnerable to it, and how it often disguises itself as “just being tired,” staying busy, or pushing through another season. We talk about the stress cycle, early warning signs of burnout, and why self-care doesn't work when we don't first understand what our bodies are asking for. You'll also hear practical, accessible ways to start interrupting burnout — not through expensive routines or doing more, but by creating margin, completing the stress cycle, setting better boundaries, and building supportive relationships that make military life more sustainable. If you've been functioning but feel disconnected, depleted, or like you're losing yourself in the process, this conversation will help you name what's happening and take the first steps toward feeling like yourself again.

Phil Neil scaled a business to $70M in ~8 months—then watched a warehouse fire erase uninsured inventory. Phil is a serial entrepreneur and former pro football player. He currently coaches founders on "the middle layer" between intellect and tactics. Sri and Phil tackle founder-mindset essentials:Overcoming fearBalancing family and a startupFinding a great cofounderRecovering from lossHow to be strategicKey takeawaysSpeed can hide fragility. Scaling fast doesn't mean the foundation is stable.Risk isn't just financial. There's “risk of purpose” and “risk of identity,” too.Shadow patterns show up under pressure (burnout, reactivity, ego defense, avoidance).Frameworks reduce drama. Naming thinking styles (DISC / color archetypes) creates shared language.The “Courage Compass” idea: create a gap before action so intuition can speak.Rock bottom can be a reset—especially when your nervous system stops cooperating.Sales = human connection + precision.

Everyone plans to “buy the dip” until it's time to write the check. Multifamily opportunities are rising, and with properties 20%+ off the peak of pricing, investors are getting flooded with “deals.” But, like we learned over the past five years, the wrong sponsor (even with the right deal) can kill your returns and blow up the wealth you spent so long to build. So, how do you spot the opportunities vs. the landmines in multifamily? We brought on fund of funds manager, Lon Welsh, to share his sponsor-vetting checklist. With decades of experience in real estate investing, launching his capital fund in 2022 could have been disastrous (rising interest rates, rent growth freezes, expanding cap rates), but to this day, Lon has over a 90% success rate across funds within his own fund. This wasn't done by guessing or gut-checks, but carefully choosing the right sponsor for the right deal. Today, Lon shares his own sponsor-vetting checklist, how he personally confirms a deal is worth getting into, the best multifamily markets in the country with easing supply, low regulation, and strong demand, and how to ensure a sponsor was intentional, not lucky, in achieving their past successes. Plus, we even get Lon's multifamily prediction for 2026-2027. Insights from today's episode: How to vet a multifamily sponsor before putting a dollar into their deal Why a “fund of funds” could be the more diversified, safer bet than real estate syndications What to look at to ensure a sponsor wasn't just “lucky” during past deal cycles The best places to invest in multifamily right now (2026) where supply is about to drop off How to feel confident buying during a dip when everyone else is too scared to act Lon's medical receivables play making passive income without a single property — Connect with Lon on LinkedIn Ironton Capital Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
Discover why so many kids are anxious, overstimulated, and burned out through a quantum biology lens with Dr. Catherine Clinton. Learn practical insights to support emotional regulation, guided by Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and childhood dysregulation.So many parents feel exhausted watching their children struggle with racing thoughts, sensory overload, and anxious feelings. You're not alone—kids today are navigating a world far more overstimulating than when we were growing up, and parental burnout is real.In this episode, I discuss with Dr. Katherine Clinton about small, actionable steps parents can take to improve emotional regulation, sleep, and overall mental health for their children and themselves.Why do so many kids feel burnt out and overwhelmed today?The modern world is relentless. Screens, schedules, and constant stimulation leave young people with 30 “tabs” open in their heads. Dr. Clinton explains that quantum biology—how energy from light, sound, and electromagnetic fields impacts our bodies—helps us understand why children are more anxious and struggling with mood, focus, and sleep.Takeaways:Children practice self-regulation naturally when they experience stillness and boredom—a step many mental health professionals say helps prevent racing thoughts and panic attacks.Daily physical activity outdoors supports neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, helping kids focus and feel calm. This also gives parents the chance to tend to their own needs, which is essential if you want to be a better parent.Feeling burnt out isn't a moral failing—it's a normal reaction to overstimulation.Parent example: A fifth grade student who played outside daily felt calmer and less irritable compared to peers who spent all their free time on screens.How can sleep and light affect children's emotional health?Sleep and circadian rhythm are foundational for regulating mood, immune function, and inflammation.When children get enough restorative sleep, it creates a sense of stability that supports their life at home, at school, and in relationships. Poor sleep can lead to depression or other challenges that are more than just a phase—they are not a normal part of healthy development.Morning sunlight exposure cues dopamine and serotonin, while evening red or infrared light supports mitochondrial function and restorative sleep. Overexposure to blue light at night can decrease melatonin by 90%, disrupting bedtime routines and creating racing thoughts at night.Tips:Go outside in natural light within 30 minutes of waking.Reduce overhead lights and screens before bed; consider blue light blocking glasses.Use warm, red-toned lights in the evening to cue relaxation.Parent example: Parents who swapped overhead lights for salt lamps and dimmed screens noticed children sleeping deeper and

Entrepreneur and martial arts instructor Gary Engels joins me to unpack what it really means to rebuild when everything is stripped away—and why modern resilience requires more than grit.Most stories about reinvention soften the edges. This episode doesn't. Gary and I walk through what happens when loss is not metaphorical but literal: a house fire that destroyed everything he owned while raising three children under five, leaving him with nothing but insurance paperwork, a hotel room, and the responsibility to keep going.Gary shares how that moment forced a recalibration of risk, preparedness, and identity. From running a martial arts school for over two decades to building and exiting businesses across marketing, gig work, corporate networks, and professional services, his story is less about hustle and more about designing a life that doesn't collapse under stress.We explore how personal catastrophe reshapes perspective on money, why low burn rates matter more than high incomes, and how the gig economy has quietly become a resilience layer—not a side hustle—for over half of the U.S. workforce. Gary explains why independence isn't about chasing upside, but about reducing fragility.The conversation spans entrepreneurship, minimalism, family pressure, leadership, and the illusion of security in both “safe” careers and high-status wealth. We dig into why many high earners are more trapped than free, how possessions quietly tax attention and energy, and why preparedness—financial and psychological—is a leadership skill, not paranoia.This is not a motivational comeback story. It's a sober conversation about optionality, responsibility, and how repeated resets—business failures, market shifts, personal loss—can either hollow you out or harden your foundations.The lesson isn't optimism.It's realism: life will break your plans.Your job is to build systems that still function when it does.TL;DR* Total loss reframes what actually matters faster than success ever does* Low burn rates increase options more than high income* Gig work isn't instability—it's distributed resilience* Independence starts with expense control, not income growth* Every possession adds hidden management cost and stress* Most “security” is illusionary and fragile* Leadership is about preparedness, not bravado* You either win or you learn—but both require staying in the fightMemorable Lines* “I'd rather be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”* “Everything you own becomes a job.”* “Most people don't lose because they fail—they lose because they're unprepared.”* “Freedom comes from lowering the rock before trying to lift it.”* “It doesn't matter what happens to you. What matters is what you do next.”GuestGary Engels — Entrepreneur, CEO, and martial arts instructorCEO of MyGig, focused on helping independent workers and businesses access professional-grade services without corporate dependency. Veteran founder across brick-and-mortar, marketing, corporate networks, and gig economy platforms.Why This MattersThe modern economy rewards flexibility, not loyalty.Jobs disappear. Businesses reset. Income streams vanish overnight—sometimes literally in flames. Most people are taught to optimize for growth without understanding fragility.This episode reframes resilience as a design problem, not a personality trait.For founders, operators, and executives navigating volatility, this conversation offers a clearer lens: success isn't avoiding collapse—it's building systems that let you recover quickly without sacrificing family, health, or identity.Stability doesn't come from comfort.It comes from preparedness, discipline, and the willingness to rethink everything when the ground gives way.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton tackle a reality many first responders experience—but few admit: getting promoted doesn't automatically fix burnout. The rank goes up. The responsibility expands. The expectations multiply. And yet, the exhaustion, irritability, and sense of depletion remain—or even intensify. This episode explores why promotions often amplify burnout instead of relieving it, and what leaders can do to regain energy, purpose, and clarity without stepping away from service.
What if God actually wants to talk to you today?Not in a dramatic, spiritual, churchy way—but in the middle of your real life. In this episode, Jerrad explores the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 and the surprising way God speaks—not through wind, fire, or earthquakes, but through a gentle whisper.If your life feels loud, chaotic, or overwhelming, this episode is a simple invitation to slow down, listen, and rediscover the quiet voice of God.Practice for today:Take one minute of silence and ask God, “What do You want to say to me today?”Because strong families begin with healed men.
