Welcome to Day 1 of your Neuro Reset—the week-three reset your mind and nervous system have been craving. Today's arc is RELEASE, and we'll begin by letting go of the invisible "open tabs" in your head: the to-do list, the what-ifs, the pressure, the replaying. In this guided meditation, you'll anchor to one simple point—your breath or sound—and practice returning gently, again and again. No forcing. No fixing. Just releasing the noise and making space to feel more like yourself. Come as you are. All you have to do is listen… and release. This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "7-Day Neuro Reset to Calm Your Nervous System,"  episodes 3444-3450. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to a brand-new 7-day series on the Daily Meditation Podcast: Neuro Reset—created for that very real moment when the New Year is still here… but your nervous system is already asking for a gentle reboot. Because Week 3 can be a turning point. The excitement of fresh starts fades, your routines get a little wobbly, and your mind starts opening extra tabs: What if I'm behind? What if I can't keep this up? What if I need to start over? If you've felt that, you're not doing anything wrong. It's simply your brain and body recalibrating. This week is designed to help you reset from the inside out—with short, practical meditations that support emotional balance, stress relief, clearer focus, better sleep, and a steadier mood. We'll work with simple tools that calm the nervous system and help you come back to yourself—again and again—without pressure. Each day has an arc and a focus, and today we begin with the arc of Release—releasing mental clutter, tension, and the "I should be doing more" energy… so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more supported moving forward. So settle in. You don't have to force calm. You're simply practicing a reset—one breath at a time. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "The 7-Day Neurocycle Reset Challenge" Every day: 10 minutes (2 minutes breath + 6 minutes guided Neurocycle step + 2 minutes journaling). THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Refresh Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "Clarity and calm begin with each new step." Day 3:  Coherent Breathing: Inhale ~5 seconds, exhale ~5 seconds (no holds), for 3–5 minutes. Why: A steady rhythm is one of the simplest ways to "reset the system." Day 4:  Gyan Mudra for clarity Day 5:  Fourth Chakra for compassion Day 6:  Neuro Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure Welcome to this special series: Refresh — a gentle, powerful reset for the start of a brand new year. If you've been craving that clean-slate feeling—not just on your calendar, but inside your mind and in the way you live—this is for you. Because a new year isn't only a date. It's an invitation. To clear what's been cluttering your inner space… to come back to what matters… and to choose how you want to feel as you move forward. Over the next seven episodes, we're going to refresh seven key areas of your life—not with pressure, perfection, or a long list of goals… but with inner clarity. Think of this series like opening the windows of your life and letting fresh air move through every room. Each day, we'll focus on one area—simple, practical, and deeply supportive. You'll be guided through: a short, grounding insight to create perspective a few reflective prompts to clarify what's true for you right now and a calming meditation to help you integrate the shift—so this becomes something you feel, not just something you think about This isn't about fixing yourself. You're not behind. You don't need to become someone else to have a meaningful year. This is about coming home to yourself—and gently updating the way you live, so your days match the person you're becoming. So wherever you are—making coffee, sitting in your car, walking outside, or curled up in a quiet corner—take a breath and let this be your beginning. Welcome to your refresh. Let's start the year with clarity… and create a life that feels clean, aligned, and truly yours. SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

The moment you find out—the text, the confession, the lie collapsing in real time—can feel like the defining moment of your life. The shattering. The before and after. But what if that moment isn't your identity… and it's not your story? What if it's a threshold—where illusion collapses so you can finally choose truth, agency, and who you become next? In this episode, Lora Cheadle reframes discovery day (D-Day) as a threshold moment—not the event that defines you, but the doorway that returns you to truth. Betrayal is destabilizing, painful, and deeply disorienting, yet it also reveals what you could not previously see: where you've been living inside an illusion, what's real now, and what you're no longer willing to tolerate. Through personal storytelling and grounded reflection, Lora shares how healing isn't a single breakthrough—it's the life you rebuild through truth, boundaries, discernment, and conscious choice. This episode will help you stabilize after the shattering, re-anchor in your body, and begin seeing what's possible beyond survival. Top 3 Takeaways The shattering isn't the story—it's the doorway. Discovery day is the moment you can no longer live inside an illusion. It hurts deeply—but it's also the moment truth becomes available and choice becomes possible. You can choose again—at any point. Your first response doesn't have to be your forever identity. Healing happens through repeated, conscious choices as your agency returns step by step. Real safety comes from truth, not hope. Betrayal collapses illusions about who your partner is, what they're capable of, and what you've been carrying. Discernment begins when you clearly see reality and decide what you are—and are not—willing to live with. Favorite Quote “It's not the moment that breaks that matters. It's what you do after the shattering—again and again—that becomes your story.” About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear the rain on the city streets. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor. The sounds provided by ASMR Sleep Recordings are for entertainment purposes only and are not a treatment for sleep disorders or tinnitus.

If I were to ask you if your life ever felt tranquil, you would probably do one of two things: bust out laughing or look at me like I was from another planet.I get it, I really do. Which is why I'm so excited to have the author of one of my absolute tippy-top recommended books with me today. Laura Vanderkam is a time management expert, mother of five, and the author of Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters. Laura suggests that to bring more tranquility to our abundant, unpredictable lives, we don't need a perfect schedule, what we need is a resilient schedule. In the book, she outlines nine ways that will help us manage the chaos and live joyful, sustainable lives. It sounds much more accessible, right? Today, we're going to talk about how we can actually achieve tranquility in our lives, even in the busiest phases of our lives.In this episode, you'll hear: How to reframe the way you think about how much time you have (hint: it might be more than you think!) Why doing something three times a week counts as a habitThe rule that gets the most resistance, and why sticking to it is so essentialLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/laura-vanderkam Join us for the upcoming Circle with Sarah Retreat: Happy Homeschooling

Today's Sponsor: ToyBox 3D Printers In today's episode, we talk about wine, anesthesia, and the quiet ways men numb pain instead of feeling it.As Jesus was led to the cross, He was offered wine to dull the pain. He refused it. Not because the pain didn't matter — but because He chose to fully feel the weight He was carrying.Many men don't explode emotionally.They disappear.Instead of anger, they feel numb.Instead of emotion, they feel distance.Instead of presence, they reach for distraction.Scrolling.Drinking.Porn.Overworking.Anything that keeps the feelings at bay.In this episode, we explore what it looks like to stop numbing and start feeling again — not all at once, not perfectly, but honestly. Because when you begin to feel, you begin to heal. And healed men become present men.In This Episode:Why emotional numbness is just as serious as emotional blowupsThe overlooked moment when Jesus refused wine on the way to the crossHow men practice “avoidant coping” without realizing itThe cost of numbing out on marriage, fatherhood, and presenceA simple one-minute practice to begin feeling againToday's One-Minute Practice:Instead of asking, “What am I feeling?”Ask this:“What am I avoiding feeling today?”Sit with it.Name it.Don't numb it.You don't need to fix everything.You just need to stay present.Strong families begin with healed men.

Host: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: D' Layne Benson, Registered Nurse and Therapeutic Breathwork FacilitatorIn this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the concept of "false calm" and its implications for emotional regulation and mental health. Our guest, D' Layne Benson, shares her insights on how over-resourcing and cognitive control can mute adaptive feedback signals, leading to short-term quiet but long-term signal loss.We explore how containment and pacing can build capacity, reduce rupture, and allow coherence to emerge without interpretive intrusion. D' Layne explains that true regulation isn't about feeling better but about staying present with what's activated. We discuss how false calm can keep individuals disconnected and how to recognize it in real-time.D' Layne shares her experiences as a registered nurse and how they led her to explore the role of overfunctioning in high-stress careers like healthcare. She highlights the common trend among caregivers who often neglect their own emotional regulation while focusing on others.We also touch on the concept of functional freeze, where individuals appear composed on the outside but are in a state of internal shutdown. D' Layne provides practical advice on how to notice and address these states, both in oneself and in clients.Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of relational attunement, the impact of early childhood neural imprints on our perception of safety and threat, and the role of cognitive override in burnout. D' Layne emphasizes the need for scheduling rest and reflection, especially for high-performing individuals who use productivity as a defense against emotional discomfort.Finally, we explore the nuances of breathwork as a tool for emotional regulation and how it can help individuals reconnect with their bodies in a safe and controlled manner. D' Layne shares her personal journey and how breathwork played a crucial role in her own healing process.Join us as we unpack these complex topics and provide actionable insights for better emotional regulation and mental well-being.Timestamps[00:03:48] False calm and emotional bypassing.[00:04:36] False calm in caregiving.[00:09:12] Observing emotional dysregulation patterns.[00:11:25] Nervous system and safety perception.[00:15:07] Autonomic nervous system dynamics.[00:22:11] Busyness as emotional shield.[00:26:00] Scheduling time for reflection.[00:27:25] Building authentic self-worth.[00:30:31] Safety and internal narratives.[00:35:04] Doxaxic reasoning and bias.[00:39:31] Curiosity about personal biases.[00:42:43] Caregiving and self-neglect.[00:45:51] Breath as a diagnostic tool.[00:51:45] Self-healing and awareness.[00:52:13] Rhythmic breathing's healing power.[00:56:20] Sustainable change through repetition.[01:00:20] Value and meaning in care.CreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: D' Layne BensonExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

William White returns to assess a world edging closer to systemic stress. Drawing on decades advising central banks, he describes a macro regime defined not by temporary shocks, but by a deep reversal of the forces that once kept inflation low and debt manageable. From de-globalization and demographic decline to energy constraints and fragile supply chains, the conversation traces how rising costs collide with record public and private leverage. White warns that policy makers are trapped between inflationary pressures and debt sustainability, with no clean exit in sight. The discussion closes on AI, currency fragmentation, and the uncomfortable possibility that today's stability masks a far more dangerous future.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow William on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Why unchecked booms become more dangerous over time01:37 - Setting the stage for a new global macro regime03:53 - From disinflation to persistent inflation pressure07:10 - Supply side forces reversing after decades of support12:07 - Debt accumulation and unintended policy consequences13:03 - Why higher rates did not trigger an immediate crisis18:53 - Debt dynamics and the problem of sustainability19:57 - Tipping points and the psychology of market breaks26:40 - What happens when...

Episode Summary If you're overwhelmed, tired, or stuck in fight-or-flight mode and unsure how to support your body without spending more money, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, Alexandra shares a simple, affordable, and often overlooked way to help the body recover from stress: music. Drawing from personal experience, Scripture, and educational research, this episode explores how music—especially instrumental music—can help the nervous system settle and create space for rest, reflection, and listening. This is a faith-centered reflection on how God designed sound and music for our wellbeing. No protocols. Just wisdom and discernment. This episode is especially for Christian women seeking clarity, peace, and a gentle way forward. Why Stress Recovery Doesn't Have to Be Expensive Many women feel stuck because they believe stress relief or healing requires money, programs, or products they can't afford. In this episode, Alexandra challenges that belief and reminds listeners that some of the most powerful supports for the nervous system are simple and already available. Music is one of those tools—created by God, accessible, and deeply influential when used intentionally. Rediscovering the Gift of Music Alexandra shares how music played a major role in her life growing up—from piano and violin to choir and orchestra—but gradually faded during the busy years of motherhood. A moving experience at a musical performance helped her realize how deeply music affected her emotionally and how much she missed it. Since then, music has become part of family life, stress recovery, and quiet reflection. What Research Helps Us Understand About Music Alexandra references educational research that explores how music affects the brain and nervous system, including: Its role in emotional regulation How it can influence calm and focus The way different types of music evoke different responses What Scripture Shows Us About Music The Bible repeatedly points to music as part of worship, spiritual expression, and restoration. This episode reflects on several passages, including: Revelation 5:8–9 – Music and worship before the throne Revelation 14:2–3 – The sound of harps and a new song Joshua 6 – Trumpets and obedience in the fall of Jericho 1 Samuel 16:23 – David playing music and Saul being refreshed These passages remind us that music is woven into God's design, not an afterthought. Why Instrumental Music Can Be Especially Calming Alexandra explains how instrumental music, without lyrics, has helped her: Calm her nervous system Focus on the beauty of sound Create stillness after prayer or Scripture reading Journal thoughts that align with biblical truth She shares how instrumental music can make it easier to slow down and listen. Choosing Music That Uplifts Not all music has the same effect. Alexandra encourages listeners to notice how their body responds and to choose music that feels uplifting and calming rather than intense or distressing. She shares personal examples, including violin covers, instrumental playlists, and soundtracks that evoke peace, strength, and hope. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:01 – A simple, affordable way to relieve stress 01:05 – Personal history with music 02:32 – Rediscovering music during adulthood 02:53 – Educational research on music and wellbeing 03:58 – Biblical passages about music 06:23 – Why instrumental music can be especially calming 07:51 – Using music during quiet time with God 09:22 – Choosing music that uplifts 10:46 – Encouragement to try this for yourself Key Takeaways Stress recovery doesn't always require money or complicated solutions Music is part of God's design for wellbeing Instrumental music can support calm and stillness Paying attention to your body builds discernment Simple practices can support peace without pressure Feeling Overwhelmed or Unsure What Your Body Needs?

Hey Friends, What if your clutter isn't evidence of failure — but evidence of how much you've been carrying? In this episode, we kick off Day One of the January Reset by dismantling the pressure that comes with a new year and offering a different way to begin. Instead of forcing goals or pushing through, we slow down, regulate the nervous system, and set an intention that's grounded in the body — not willpower. You'll learn why feeling "behind" isn't a motivation problem, how clutter often reflects seasons of grief, caregiving, transition, and survival, and why change doesn't stick unless your nervous system feels safe enough to sustain it. Intention Setting:  This isn't about goals. It's about choosing who you want to be. Name what you want. (Less chaos, more ease, a new job, deeper connection.) Ask what's underneath that desire. How do you actually want to feel? (Calm, safety, confidence, openness.) Bring that feeling into your body. Ground your feet. Slow your breath. Soften your shoulders. Feel gravity. Write one sentence for today. "Today, I choose calm by staying grounded in my body." We also talk about what real commitment looks like — and how choosing yourself doesn't require intensity, just consistency. If you want support decluttering your entire home in a calm, sustainable way, the year-long Declutter Your Chaos program is open during the January trial period. You can find all the details at https://declutteryourchaos.com/ If this episode helped you, please leave a review or share it with someone who needs it. Here's to a calmer, more supported 2026!

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear calm birds and rain. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor. The sounds provided by ASMR Sleep Recordings are for entertainment purposes only and are not a treatment for sleep disorders or tinnitus. Consult your doctor if you regularly have severe sleeping problems, experience fitful/restless sleep or feel tired during the day.ASMR Sleep Recordings is the white noise and nature sounds podcast to help you sleep, study or soothe a baby.

Has the shaking of the world left you feeling paralyzed or unsure of how to step forward? Are you looking for a safe harbor in the midst of the "Venezuela events" and global instability? What if the chaos around you is actually an invitation to create an unshakeable sanctuary within you? In this urgent and deeply healing transmission, Michael Sandler shares a powerful nervous system reset designed for right now. Following the recent events that have shaken many to the core, Michael channels Archangel Michael to deliver a message of safety, grounding, and empowerment. This isn't just about surviving the news cycle; it is about finding your footing when the ground feels like it is moving. Michael explains why 2026 is the "Sanctuary Year", how to move from a "lizard brain" reaction to a heart-centered power, and provides specific, real-time energetic clearings to remove the ancestral fears of war and chaos from your field. Key Topics: The "Sanctuary Year": Why Archangel Michael is relabeling 2026 as a year of safety and haven, despite the external "quickening." Turtle Breathing: A specific breathing technique ("Tai Chi" style) to immediately slow down a racing mind and find peace. A powerful grounding method to root yourself into the earth when you feel "spun" by world events. Why asking "How's the weather?" no longer serves us, and the brave question you must ask instead: "How is your soul doing?" The science behind why chanting "OM" can double your cell membrane's water-holding capacity and instantly switch off the fight-or-flight response. The "Bunny" Strategy: Why looking at "cute and fuzzy" things (like Rabbit Island in Japan!) is legitimate medicine for a fried nervous system. This episode is a balm for your spirit. If you have been holding your breath waiting for the next shoe to drop, this message will help you exhale, remember your power, and realize that your calm is not passive; it is powerful.

Have you ever left something out on purpose so you wouldn't forget it…Only to watch it slowly turn into clutter?You're not lazy.You're not failing at tidying.And you're definitely not the only one doing this.In this episode, I'm talking about the fine line between intentional visual reminders and everyday clutter. The kind that builds up quietly and then suddenly feels overwhelming. Especially in busy homes. Especially when you're juggling family life, mental load, and a brain that works fast and forgets faster.Is leaving things out actually helping you rememberOr is it adding to the chaos?I share a real conversation from my own kitchen that sparked this episode and why it highlighted something so many women struggle with when it comes to decluttering, organizing, and home organization. We dive into why “I'll put it away later” so often backfires and how even small habits can either support your organization or completely derail it.This episode is about:Making declutter strategies work in real lifeUnderstanding the difference between clutter and intentional systemsReducing friction in your home without lowering your standardsOvercoming overwhelm without trying to be more disciplined or perfectBecause the goal isn't a spotless house.It's an organized home that supports your life.And a family system that doesn't rely on you remembering everything.What if your reminders didn't live on every surface?What if tidying didn't create tension in your home?If you're working on decluttering, organizing, and building habits that actually stick, this episode will give you a fresh way to look at how your home organization supports your brain, not fights it.

David Nurse, high-performance coach to NBA All-Stars and Olympic gold medalists, discovered that elite performers don't hope for flow—they engineer it. The secret isn't motivation or talent. It's neuroscience. This isn't vague "find your flow" advice. This is the brain mapping research revealing that flow state occurs at a precise frequency—10 Hz in the Alpha zone—and the specific protocols to train your nervous system to access it on demand. David breaks down why legendary athletes like Kobe Bryant could enter "the zone" during championships, the paradoxical tension required for effortless focus, and the deep practice methodology that builds neural pathways for consistent peak performance. Discover: • The 10 Hz revelation—why flow happens at a measurable brainwave frequency (and how to train your brain to reach it) • Why the 10,000-hour rule is incomplete—the "deep practice" feedback loop that builds myelin and creates mastery • The "bumper bowling" principle—how removing fear of failure unlocks creative genius • Alex Honnold's "Free Solo" mindset—why elite performers visualize disasters, not just success • The TAP trigger for daily flow—Trust, Acceptance, and Presence as the gateway to effortless performance • The Flow Code formula—combining visualization, body scanning, and bilateral tapping to down-regulate your nervous system • Flow beyond athletics—how to access the zone for creative work, presentations, and high-stakes moments Here's what separates amateurs from world-class: amateurs wait for inspiration. Masters train their nervous systems to produce flow on command. If you've ever experienced a moment where everything clicked and wondered why you can't recreate it—this episode decodes the exact neural pathway to get back there.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

High performers often assume burnout means failure. But what if success feels exhausting because you're divided inside? This episode explores decision fatigue, role confusion, and why identity-level recalibration restores energy without losing drive.Why does success feel exhausting even when everything looks “right”?Many high performers, leaders, and high-capacity humans reach a point where the life they built no longer feels the way they expected it to feel. There's no obvious crisis. No failure to point to. Yet beneath the surface, there's decision fatigue, role confusion, and a quiet sense of depletion that rest alone doesn't resolve.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly introduces a rarely named truth: burnout is often not about overwork — it's about fragmentation.When your nervous system learns to regulate by context instead of identity, you begin living from multiple internal versions of yourself. Calm in one room. Braced in another. Present at home, vigilant with clients. Over time, this internal division creates success fatigue, spiritual exhaustion, and a loss of felt coherence — even in a life that looks objectively successful.This episode explores:Why burnout recovery often fails when identity misalignment goes unaddressedHow decision fatigue is compounded by internal role-switchingWhy “being on” all the time is a nervous-system strategy, not strengthThe difference between flexibility and fragmentationHow success without fulfillment often signals identity drift, not weaknessJulie introduces Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — not another mindset tactic or productivity strategy, but the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. ILR begins with the who, not the how, restoring internal coherence so peace, purpose, and productivity can coexist.This conversation is especially relevant for those navigating:high achiever burnoutleadership fatiguespiritual exhaustionsuccess that feels emptypressure to perform across rolesToday's Micro RecalibrationYou'll find this in the Recalibration Companion, but here's where to begin:Where do I feel most like myself — and where do I feel the most “on”?No fixing.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lnraw06/ Welcome to RAW—my unfiltered solo podcast (hosted on LIFE Network), where you get the real, behind-the-scenes version of my life: the biohacking experiments I’m running on myself, the protocols I’m building and breaking, the tools and tech I’m stress-testing before anyone hears about them, the ideas in physiology, performance, and longevity I’m diving into, the beliefs I’m questioning, the routines I’m refining, and the unconventional stuff I’m actually doing day to day—no gloss, no script, just a direct line into what I’m thinking, testing, discovering, and living in real time. In this episode, we go deep into the “RAW” terrain of jaw mechanics—think controversial, awkward, and a tad nerdy, but game-changing for health. It all starts at a cocktail party when a Sherlock Holmes-style dentist spots red flags just by looking at his mouth. Cue a year-plus journey into bioesthetic dentistry, mindfully chewing food, and mastering “mewing” (tongue and jaw posture that even changes your face shape). What’s the big actionable win? Stop ignoring your mouth! Rethink your mechanics, posture, and oral hygiene—ditch the fluoride, embrace hydroxyapatite toothpaste, train your tongue to suction to your palate, and breathe through your nose like a pro. Bonus: mouth taping is not just for sleep geeks. Episode Sponsors: Just Thrive: Take the Just Thrive FEEL BETTER challenge today, and save 20% on your first Gut Essentials Bundle.
