View This Week's Show NotesJuliet and I are officially empty nesters. Both girls are launched, the bathroom is clean every morning, and we're figuring out what the next phase looks like. It rhymes with dusk bike rides, protein shakes for dinner, and a cereal bar in Marin we somehow didn't know existed until now.We also revisited one of our longest-running household debates: women's pain tolerance. An Instagram infographic claiming childbirth equals breaking 20 bones made the rounds and reignited everything. We cover what the McGill pain scale actually says, why medical research has failed women on pain, and the full story of my eardrum, which ends with blood in the ER and a pain scale I have never quite recovered from.From there we got into our book Outplay and the data shaping every youth sports conversation right now. The number everyone cites is that 70% of kids drop out of sport by age 13. A researcher on LinkedIn tried to find the primary source and came up empty. So did researchers at the Aspen Institute. So did everyone else. We unpack what the CDC data actually shows and why citation drift doesn't mean youth sports is fine.The biggest chunk of this episode is something I wanted to make sure we gave real time to: what two years of running the Starrett System has actually taught us. Most people coming into the program weren't working a coherent physical practice at all. They might have been doing some weight training or riding a Peloton, but nobody was hitting all three legs of the longevity triangle: strength, conditioning, and mobility. Nobody was sprinting. And a lot of people believed that the moment they felt discomfort, they should stop.Watching that shift has been one of the most rewarding things we've done. Member Lily gained 5.4 pounds of lean mass in eight months. Cole said he's craving training every day for the first time. The fall cohort starts September 8th. Early bird: $200 off at starrettsystem.com.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the "70% of kids drop out of sports by age 13" statistic cited by the American Academy of Pediatrics and major sports governing bodies may have no verifiable primary source, and what the CDC and Aspen Institute data actually showsWhy the claim that childbirth equals breaking 20 bones is a myth, and what the McGill pain scale says is actually more painfulWhy medical research has historically underserved women on pain, and how self-reporting skews the pictureWhat two years of running the Starrett System revealed about what most people were actually missing in their physical practiceWhy having a strength practice, a conditioning practice, and mobility work are three separate things, and why most people were only doing one of themWhat the "longevity triangle" is and why most wellness and longevity conferences have almost no conversation about itHow teaching people to train around injuries and physical limitations, rather than stop, has been one of the biggest shifts for Starrett System membersWhy the program's nutrition approach centers on abundance and eliminating nothing, and what happens when people who have been chronically underfueling start eating enoughKey Highlights(00:00) Welcome to RECESS / Kelly and Juliet go officially empty nest(00:31) The bathroom story and Byron Katie's towel wisdom via Gabby Reese(03:19) Life as empty nesters: bike rides at dusk, protein shakes, cereal for dessert(04:43) Listener ask: send your best recipes for two(05:18) Women vs. men pain tolerance: the debate renewed(06:44) Kelly's eardrum story(08:57) McGill pain scale and Juliet's finger(11:11) Outplay: preparing families for youth sports(13:32) Pay-to-play, private equity, and the Norwegian youth sports model(16:26) The 70% dropout stat and its missing primary source(19:12) Starrett System: origin story from the YPO conference(26:48) Starrett System: member results and the September 8th fall cohort(30:41) Cereal bar in Marin and the great Raisin Bran debate(34:07) Wrap and early bird CTA

Where will it live? 3. Does it align with my values? 4. Can I borrow it instead? 5. Do I need to buy it now, or can I pause and check in later? 5 Mental Clutter Busting-Questions: 1. Is this thought serving me? 2. Is this thought absolutely true? 3. How would I feel without this thought? 4. What is a true thought that could replace this negative thought? 5. Do I have to think about this now, or can I choose another time to think about it? 10 Decluttering Mindset Questions: 1. Does this item reflect my values? 2. Do I have the capacity to manage this item in this season? 3. Does it support my current self in my current season of motherhood, or is it aspirational? (focusing on past or potential future) 4.

Why am I feeling guilty? Is it my perception? 5 Questions to Get Started: 1. Is perfectionism causing me to put off decluttering? Am I afraid about doing it “wrong”? 2.

When is the ideal time for me to declutter based upon my energy levels and current schedule? 4.

What if resentment isn't the problem...What if it's the invitation?Inspired by my recent conversation with communication strategist and CEO Lee Caraher, this Sound Bite explores what often lies beneath resentment—and how a simple pause can help us move from assumptions and "shoulds" toward greater understanding.Resentment can begin with something as ordinary as a disappointment that never gets talked about or something much deeper that continues to replay in our minds. Either way, it asks us to pay attention.Drawing on insights from Lee Caraher, Brené Brown, and Byron Katie, I reflect on how resentment often begins with hurt, grows through the stories we tell ourselves, and quietly keeps us stuck in the past.Together, we'll explore how pausing, journaling, and asking a few simple questions can help us move toward greater clarity, understanding, and perhaps even forgiveness.In this Sound Bite:• Why resentment often begins with hurt• How "should" and assumptions fuel resentment• Brené Brown's question:"What do I need that I'm afraid to ask for?"• Byron Katie's invitation:"Is it true?"• How journaling helps separate facts from the stories we create• Why pausing creates space for understanding• How requests and offers can replace assumptionsQuestions for ReflectionWhere do I notice resentment in my body?What story am I telling myself?Is it true?What do I need that I haven't asked for?What part of this belongs to me?Sometimes the most important conversation isn't the one we have with someone else.It's the one we have with ourselves.If you enjoyed this reflection, be sure to listen to Episode 311: Helping 5,000 Women Be Heard with Lee Caraher, where we explore communication, leadership, and why every woman deserves to be heard.Connect with Girl, Take the Lead!

In this episode, Tara sits down with New York Times bestselling author Nir Eyal for an eye-opening conversation on mastering focus, shifting limiting mindsets, and reclaiming control over daily attention. Nir pulls back the curtain on the real root causes of distraction, debunking the common myth that technology alone is to blame. Instead, he reveals that an astonishing 90% of phone checks happen without a single notification, driven instead by "internal triggers," fleeting moments of emotional discomfort, boredom, or anxiety. Nir shares an actionable four-step framework to manage these internal feelings, break the cycle of procrastination, and rewrite the internal narratives that hold them back from living intentionally. The discussion also dives deep into the incredible power of the mind, highlighting the research behind his work in his new book Beyond Belief: The Science-Backed Way to Stop Limiting Yourself and Achieve Extraordinary Results, including the mind-bending story of a patient undergoing surgery without anesthesia through the power of hypnotic belief. Nir unpacks how beliefs function as tools rather than absolute truths, introducing powerful reframing techniques like Byron Katie's four questions to dismantle self-sabotaging thoughts. Nir emphasizes the importance of moving past parental hypocrisy, modeling healthy device habits, and leading with purpose and love to build a deeply connected, resilient family. For parents or anyone feeling stuck, the episode offers crucial, practical strategies to stop limiting beliefs from holding them back.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the belief that's quietly shaping your entire life isn't true? The question, "Am I enough?" rarely announces itself out loud. Instead, it hides behind perfectionism, people-pleasing, overworking, comparison, and the constant search for external validation.In this episode, we uncover where the belief of "not enough" really begins, why it becomes so deeply embedded, and—most importantly—how to free yourself from it. Because once you see how this story is created, you stop living your life as though you're constantly trying to earn your worth.We explore how childhood experiences can shape a lasting sense of inadequacy, whether through criticism, feeling unseen, rejection, or the meaning we innocently attached to situations as children. From there, we examine how this belief continues to influence our adult lives—through social media comparison, relationship patterns, career success, and the pursuit of achievement as a way of proving our value.I also share a personal moment involving my own podcast statistics and how easily genuine self-expression can become a search for validation if we're not paying attention.Drawing on the wisdom of Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, and Michael Singer, we explore practical ways to question limiting beliefs, create space between ourselves and our thoughts, and rediscover the truth that our worth was never something to earn. We also look at the Reticular Activating System and why asking better questions can transform the evidence your mind begins to notice—shifting your confidence, mindset, and daily experience.This is an invitation to stop chasing your worth and remember what has been true all along:You were never broken. You were never missing anything. You have always been enough.Support the showThank you for listening

Hey, Heal Squad! Whitney Cummings is back for Part 2  and somehow the conversation gets even better. It honestly feels like you're sitting in on two friends swapping life hacks, laughing until they cry, and accidentally dropping some of the best advice you've heard in a while. Whitney shares the surprisingly simple mindset that's helped her stop feeling so overwhelmed (wait until you hear her "energy dollars" analogy...it's genius!) Then a story you haven't heard…Whitney admits she used to do clinical drug trials for as a broke comedian in LA, which then led to getting her thoughts on the supplement world, who's actually behind these vitamin companies, and a Rob Schneider story that you will not see coming. Plus, Maria and Whitney get into the wellness things we've all been doing that might not be what we think they are, chat about the state of the entertainment industry and why laughter might be the most underrated form of healing. Funny, smart, a little chaotic, and completely worth it. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Treat Your Energy Like Money. Whitney explains her "energy dollars" system: a simple way to stop overcommitting, protect your peace, and let go of guilt when your tank is empty. Stop Adding More, Start Simplifying. Instead of chasing every wellness trend, Whitney shares why making one small change at a time (“pick one”)  and trusting your own body leads to better health. The State of The Industry. Whitney explains why today's creators no longer need Hollywood's permission and why connecting directly with your audience is changing entertainment for the better.

Whitney is as hilarious as you'd expect, but she's also incredibly thoughtful and vulnerable, sharing the ways that helped her heal from childhood trauma and embrace this next chapter of life. It's funny, raw, validating, and one of those conversations that leaves you feeling a little lighter after listening. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS "Drop the Charges."

This week's episode is an exploration of the search for freedom. For those of us who find ourselves on some kind of spiritual path, practicing techniques that allow us to expand into truer, fuller expressions of what we really are, it can be tempting to identify as ‘seekers.' Usually what we're seeking is a sense of freedom. One such seeker poses the question in this episode, “Is there such a thing as freedom?” All the mystics – ancient and modern – say there is. But why is it so hard to find it? And how does it connect to the idea of free will? Are we actually controlling the events of our life? Could it be that real freedom comes from releasing the “I” that thinks it needs to manage everything? Join in the group inquiry, get still, and notice what arises within in response to these questions.

Postpartum depression brought them to a rock bottom that became a portal to a place where “good” was no longer the goal. This led to a new paradigm in which they began creating a life truly worth living, one filled with special interests, plenty of free and unstructured time, and work that is truly aligned. Gazit Chaya now sojourns with other souls interested in letting go of culture and coming back to Self, meeting one another in the field beyond right and wrong through somatic parts work, The Work of Byron Katie, the Values Based Integration Process, and the Safe and Sound Protocol.

And who might we be if we opened our minds enough to experience ourselves without these stories? Could it be that who we are is much broader, much more expensive, than we've allowed ourselves to imagine?

Something happens. The tire goes flat, the layoff comes, test results come back. And then a sentence starts running in the back of your head. That shouldn't have happened. I should weigh less. They shouldn't have fired me. You barely register it. It plays like a radio in another room, and it produces a feeling, and the feeling produces a behavior, and the behavior produces the day you are having. The stress paradox is that the thought causing you the most pain is also the one that feels most obviously true. Of course they shouldn't have fired me. The belief feels like clear sight rather than distortion, and it feels useful, like it is the thing that will finally motivate change. It almost never is.  Treating stress as a condition to be managed rather than a belief or thought to be examined leaves it running. My guest is Andy Bernstein. Andy is the creator of Active Insight and the founder of the Resilience Academy. He is the author of Breaking the Stress Cycle, and he has taught at Wharton Executive Education since 2007, where his sessions have been audience favorites for thousands of leaders. His corporate clients include Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Johnson & Johnson, Google, Coca-Cola, and Genentech.  Andy built a process for dealing with stress that is seven steps, done on paper. You do not lie on a couch. You do not say a word. In this conversation, he walks through all seven steps live, twice. Challenging the way other people think is something we all do constantly. Challenging your own thinking is something we rarely do.  Some highlights from the episode: 03:32 Losing his father at 14 and his sister at 16  06:00 Byron Katie, The Work, and a job he never meant to leave  08:26 Active Insight  11:07 Field-testing  14:51 Where our idea of stress came from  19:25 Bears, war zones, and the adaptive exception  24:41 "Should" as the argument with reality  29:33 The seven steps, walked through live  30:43 What is negation? 36:50 Running the process on "they shouldn't have fired me"  39:19 The showdown with yourself  43:37 Time doesn't heal wounds.

Perception has a habit of masquerading as truth, particularly in the workplace where people make sense of us through remarkably little evidence. We introverts often leave gaps that others are only too happy to fill with their own assumptions, and that can quietly shape our reputation long before we enter the room. In this episode, I explore where perception becomes useful data rather than a personal attack, how Byron Katie's liberating questions can stop us disappearing down defensive rabbit holes, and why managing our impact is not about performance but about quiet leadership. Perhaps the real work is not convincing everyone who we are. Perhaps it is becoming clearer about what is genuinely our business.   Key points

Byron Katie wrote a book entitled, 'Loving What is', and it presents the concept that when we stop resisting reality, we will find so much more peace in our lives. When we learn to focus on our response and choose to behave in ways that are in alignment with our values, we find much more satisfaction, contentment, happiness, and peace.

As a highly sensitive person, it's natural to focus deeply on the people, problems, and responsibilities that need your attention. But during stressful seasons, many HSPs quietly stop taking care of themselves, convincing themselves they'll rest later.

In this episode, you'll discover: Why highly sensitive people often abandon their own needs during the times they need self-care most.

"Most of the suffering in your life doesn't come from what happened. It comes from the story you've been telling yourself about it." What if the pain you've been carrying for years isn't being created by your circumstances, but by the thoughts you've never stopped believing? In this eye-opening episode of Soul Talk, Kute Blackson sits down with world-renowned teacher Byron Katie to explore a simple yet revolutionary idea: suffering begins when we argue with reality. Drawing from decades of helping people transform their lives through self-inquiry, Byron reveals how unquestioned beliefs shape our relationships, fuel resentment, keep us stuck in the past, and prevent us from experiencing the peace that is already available to us. Through her powerful process known as The Work, she demonstrates how a single question can begin to unravel years of emotional pain and open the door to greater freedom, clarity, and self-awareness. This conversation isn't about changing your life. It's about questioning the thoughts that prevent you from fully living it. If you've ever felt trapped by recurring patterns, emotional suffering, or a story you can't seem to let go of, this episode may help you discover that freedom is closer than you think. Timestamps (00:01:29) – The cause of suffering and how to end it (00:10:15) – Byron Katie's four-question process for freedom (00:12:15) – Childhood beliefs and the stories we inherit (00:19:49) – The powerful "turnaround" that changes everything (00:27:30) – Why Byron calls the world a gift (00:29:58) – Who were you before your first memory?

What if the person you blame for your pain is not the source of it? Are you living in reality or in a version of reality created by your mind? What belief are you holding onto that is costing you your peace? Who would you be if you stopped arguing with what is? Could the freedom you've been searching for begin with a single question? In This Episode, You'll Learn Why one unquestioned thought can create years of unnecessary suffering. The powerful question Byron Katie uses to dissolve fear, resentment, and emotional pain. How to stop believing every thought your mind tells you and reclaim your peace. Why arguing with reality keeps you trapped, stressed, and disconnected from life.
