Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show!Book Sign-Up -- https://www.thekinneyclinic.com/bookIn this solo episode, I'm sharing what I've been up to during my podcast pause and opening up about the inspiration behind my new book. I dive into one of my core teachings, learning to earn more energy than you spend, and explain how taking time to rest, recharge, and slow down can actually help you move faster, feel better, and live more intentionally.I talk about how cortisol functions like your body's energy currency, how imbalance leads to burnout, and how training your “relaxation muscle” can transform both your health and your relationships. Through personal stories and the analogies I use in my book, I explore the connection between stress, hormones, emotional suppression, and overall vitality.In this episode, I discuss:Why I paused the podcast to focus on writing my new bookThe core message behind the book: earning more energy than you spendHow cortisol acts as the body's energy currencyThe importance of rest, recharge, and creative spaceWhat happens when the body runs low on cortisol and compensates with adrenalineHow stress and hormone imbalance can show up as fatigue, anxiety, or burnoutThe “relaxation muscle” analogy and how to strengthen itThe impact of internal vs. external stressors on energyThe role of emotional suppression in chronic health issuesWhy healing requires time in the rest and digest stateIf you've been running on empty or pushing through exhaustion, this episode is your reminder that pausing isn't weakness, it's the key to restoring your energy, creativity, and health.

Scaling is glorified in our culture. In early childhood education, that often means opening more schools, adding more classrooms, and constantly chasing “what's next.” But is that the only way to define success?In this episode of the Schools of Excellence Podcast, Chanie Wilschanski sits down with Latrice Crawford, known as The Child Care Chick, to talk about the overlooked power of scaling with one location. Latrice shares how she built Kidsville Learning Academy into a multimillion-dollar school that has sustained for 18 years without expanding into multiple sites.This conversation dives into the foundation of sustainable leadership: mindset, systems, culture, and defining what's truly “enough.” You'll hear Latrice's powerful story of burnout and breakthrough, how she shifted from operator to CEO, and why her definition of success is rooted in peace, values, and sustainability.If you've ever felt the pressure to open “just one more” location, or you're struggling to sustain the school you already have, this episode will show you another path to growth—one rooted in clarity, culture, and deep alignment.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why scaling doesn't have to mean opening more schoolsThe foundation school leaders often skip—and why it leads to burnoutThe mindset shift from operator to CEOHow to invest in your team so they sustain without you holding everythingWhy defining “enough” is critical to long-term successHow to filter opportunities through your values and visionKey InsightsSustainability is scale. Long-term thriving in one school can build wealth, culture, and community impact.Foundations matter. Hustle and charisma cannot replace systems, rhythms, and leadership infrastructure.Enough is a filter. Defining what is “enough” keeps you aligned when opportunities (and distractions) come knocking.Your health and peace are part of the equation. Burnout is not the price of success.Memorable Quotes“Scaling isn't about adding more schools—it's about sustaining the one you already have.” – Latrice Crawford“Enough is not a finish line. It's a feeling of integrity.” – Chanie Wilschanski“Don't fear if your staff leave after you invest in them. Fear what happens if they stay and you never do.” – Latrice CrawfordWhy This Matters for School LeadersHelps leaders redefine success beyond growth at all costsProtects culture, peace, and sustainability by focusing on depth, not constant expansionEmpowers leaders to filter opportunities through values instead of external pressureProvides a model for scaling to millions with one schoolResources & Next StepsDefine your personal and leadership definition of “enough”Audit your school's foundations: Are you building on systems, or on hustle?Share this episode with a fellow school leader wrestling with pressure to expandReady to stop holding everything together alone?

You're applauded for what you do — but still feel empty. This episode reveals how performance-driven faith and leadership lead to burnout, and how recalibrating your identity restores the peace you've been chasing.You've done everything “right” — shown up, led well, given more than most. But deep down, it still doesn't feel like it should. You're exhausted, not just physically but spiritually and emotionally — and yet the world keeps cheering you on.This episode of The Recalibration exposes the hidden toll of performance, even for people of deep faith. We explore the stories of Martha and Elijah — two spiritual leaders who found themselves burned out not because of failure, but because they were operating from misalignment. Their nervous systems were in overdrive. Their bodies were signaling what their minds wouldn't yet admit: something's off.You'll see how Jesus responded to Martha's overwhelm not with shame, but with redirection — and how God met Elijah's breakdown not with rebuke, but with rest. These aren't just stories — they're a mirror for every high-capacity human performing from fear instead of peace.This isn't about quitting.It's about recalibrating — from pressure into presence.Inside this episode, you'll find:Why exhaustion isn't failure — it's a signalHow performance is often protection, not prideThe nervous system patterns behind spiritual burnoutThe restorative way Jesus and God respond to misalignmentWhy presence — not pressure — is what changes everythingToday's Micro Recalibration: What would it look like to sit at His feet instead of striving for His favor? Where are you pushing, performing, proving — when the invitation is to simply be?If you're leading others, ask:Where might I be reinforcing performance culture… even as my soul craves presence?You're not broken. You're becoming. And this — this is your invitation to finally be held.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.
