Podcasts about CALM

Emotional range is often praised, but in this episode, I explain why narrowing it actually makes you stronger. Wide emotional swings create instability, poor decisions, and make you unreliable to yourself and others. High performers don't suppress emotions, they reduce volatility so they can stay consistent. When I narrow my emotional range, I build trust, authority, and self-control. Calm intensity beats emotional intensity over time, every time. Show Notes: [01:58]#1 Emotional extremes reduce your reliability because people have no idea what they're going to get from you.  [11:33]#2 Reduce reactivity increases your leverage.  [16:21]#3 Your consistent emotional tone signals authority.  [21:43] Recap Next Steps: 1193: Focus: The Force Multiplier 1025: The Opportunity Is In The Opposites --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making.

In this Daily Shift, Celeste explores why calm can feel uncomfortable when your nervous system is used to urgency or survival. Peace isn't a warning sign — it's often a signal that your body no longer needs to brace. This episode is a reminder that steadiness can still be meaningful, and calm may take time to feel safe. Small shifts create big change.

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear the rain on the roof. 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.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   The first two weeks with your puppy are when what you grow is what you get. In these early days, everyday choices shape how your puppy learns, rests, and stays engaged long before cues are added. In this episode, I share a real-life puppy story to show how well-intended decisions can accidentally grow behaviors you weren't aiming to teach, and why raising a puppy with the future in mind supports clarity, confidence, and the relationship you're building as your puppy develops.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • How small, everyday choices can accidentally grow puppy behaviors you don't want to see.  • A real-life puppy story that highlights common early choices. • Two critical lessons for new puppy owners. • Why management is proactive, not restrictive. • What early crate, sleep, and management choices are really teaching. • Why positive training is not permissive training. • What good leadership looks like with a puppy. • How off-leash freedom too soon can lead to disengagement. • Why a puppy's name should be protected and meaningful. • Why naming behaviors too early can create confusion. • Why behaviors should be conditioned before cues are added. • How cues lose clarity when used as praise. • What it means to raise a puppy using a long-term lens. • How Recallers games support focus, engagement, and early learning.   Make Good Decisions Today With The Future In Mind, Start Playing The Recaller Games Join Recallers - https://recallers.com/special-opportunity/   Get Crate Games Online: Crate Games Online - https://get.crategames.com/   Resources:   1.

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/lnraw12 In this episode, I pull back the curtain on one of the single most powerful tools in my daily performance and recovery toolkit: Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) and its close cousin, Yoga Nidra. If you’ve ever found yourself burning the candle at both ends—waking up at 4:30 AM to fit in work, workouts, and family life—yet still trying to show up at your best, this is for you. I cover common myths around short sleep, explain why even “powered-through” fatigue adds up, and illustrate why most of us can’t cheat biology by running on six hours forever. You’ll get an honest play-by-play: what actually works for rebooting your system after a short night, the real science behind NSDR (think: brainwave states, nervous system regulation, and hormone balancing), and the exact guided meditations, apps, tech (like Sensate, or BrainTap), and routines to supercharge midday recovery.

Most parents are told ADHD lives only in the brain, but what if the real issue starts much deeper? In this episode, we explore a powerful and often overlooked driver of ADHD symptoms: mineral depletion at the cellular level. You'll hear why calm, focus, sleep, and emotional regulation are literally built from minerals and how many kids are trying to regulate big emotions while running on empty batteries. Dana Kay is joined by Caroline Alan, co-founder of Beam Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, to break down complex biology into parent-friendly language. Caroline explains how minerals fuel the mitochondria — the tiny "campfires" inside every cell — and why children who lack proper mineral support can appear anxious, wired, exhausted, or stuck in fight-or-flight, even when they eat a "healthy" diet. This conversation helps parents understand why food quality, soil depletion, filtered water, and modern stressors have created a widespread mineral gap — and what gentle, practical steps families can take to support their child's nervous system without overwhelm. If your child struggles with meltdowns, sleep issues, anxiety, or focus, this episode offers a new lens grounded in biology, not behavior.

What if rest isn't the reward for finishing everything—but the starting place for discernment, clarity, and fruitful work?In today's freeing conversation, I'm joined by Jennifer Y. Afriyie, CEO of Calm, Queen of Results and creator of The REST Framework™. After a health crisis forced her to dismantle the grind culture she once upheld, Jennifer now helps high achievers succeed by doing less on purpose—without burnout, guilt, or toxic productivity.We talk about:The difference between being faithful and being exhaustedWhy rest leads to discernment—and discernment helps you choose betterHow Jesus modeled boundaries, clarity, and mission-driven workThrough the story of Mary and Martha, Jennifer reframes success as working with God instead of for Him—and challenges the belief that exhaustion is the cost of obedience. Rest, she reminds us, is not weakness; it's where strength, wisdom, and alignment are renewed.If you've been pursuing “good” success that doesn't feel good, this episode will help you release pressure, rethink productivity, and embrace a way of working that actually bears fruit.

Dr. Holly Duckworth (PhD) shares how she went from mechanical engineering → psychology → deep hypnosis work (QHHT), and why "higher self" doesn't have to be woo. Especially when you understand how fear, trauma responses, and nervous system dysregulation run the show. We also get super practical: How to recognize dysregulation (hello, sensory sensitivity + road rage), why "therapy doesn't work" for some people until the body is regulated first, and how gratitude + nature can become daily tools for coming back to safety.

Many people reach a confusing moment in their healing journey: they start dating healthier partners… and suddenly desire feels flat. Calm feels boring. Chemistry disappears. In this solo episode, John Kim breaks down why this happens - and why it doesn't mean anything is “wrong” with you.If you've ever wondered whether you can rewire attraction without forcing yourself into a relationship that doesn't feel right, this conversation is for you.

In Day 4 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the steady presence of Miyamoto Musashi, you'll practice Prithvi Mudra (Earth Mudra) to cultivate clarity when your mind feels noisy or your emotions feel heavy. This simple hand gesture—ring finger and thumb gently touching—becomes a quiet anchor that helps you return to your center, steady your attention, and soften mental clutter. Rather than forcing answers, you'll create the inner conditions where clarity can naturally arise: grounded, calm, and unhurried. Leave this practice feeling more settled in your body, clearer in your mind, and more confident in your next step. Featured technique: Prithvi Mudra for clarity and steadiness Best for: mental fog, scattered focus, indecision, emotional overwhelm, feeling pulled in many directions Takeaway: Clarity doesn't come from pushing—it comes from returning to center. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mood Mastery: From Reactive to Regulated,"  episodes 3043-3049. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Mushin (No Mind) Quest Musashi was known to advocate for the concept of mushin, or "no-mind," in combat. It involves acting without conscious thought, free from hesitation, fear, or distraction.

This week on Sinica, I speak with Ryan Hass, director of the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings and one of the most clear-eyed analysts of the U.S.-China relationship working today. Ryan was director for China at the NSC during the Obama Administration.As Donald Trump moves through his second year in office, the bilateral relationship has defied easy characterization. The once-dominant language of great power competition has receded, China hawks have been sidelined, and Trump's personalistic approach—marked by praise for Xi Jinping and a willingness to bracket ideological disputes—represents a sharp departure from recent Washington orthodoxy.Ryan has just published an essay laying out three plausible pathways for the relationship under Trump: a soft landing, a hard split, or what he considers most likely—a period of uneasy calm in which both sides seek stability not out of trust, but out of mutual constraint. We discuss Trump's apparent strategy, the vibe shift in American attitudes, Beijing's choice between managing Trump versus managing uncertainty, the critical importance of Xi's planned April visit, and whether we're headed toward genuine stabilization or just buying time before the next collision.5:24 – Trump's approach: respect for Xi, military deterrence, and the rare earths constraint8:03 – The vibe shift and Trump's “reptilian feel” for American exhaustion with confrontation10:52 – Three scenarios: soft landing, hard split, or uneasy calm through mutual constraint16:30 – Beijing's bet: managing Trump versus managing whoever comes next26:46 – Economic interdependence and why decoupling is like “separating egg whites from a scrambled egg”37:12 – The April visit as a critical test: pageantry, protests, and what both sides are watching for42:18 – Taiwan as the most dangerous variable and where theory meets practice46:58 – Lack of institutional guardrails and the risks of Trump's personalistic foreign policyPaying it forward:Audrye Wong (USC)Recommendations:Ryan: The Conscience of the Party: Hu Yaobang, China's Communist Reformer by Robert SuettingerKaiser: The Last Cavalier (Le Chevalier de Sainte-Hermine) by Alexandre Dumas; Asia Society conversation with Lizzi Lee, Bert Hoffmann, and Gerard DiPippo on rebalancing China's economy; Trivium China Podcast with Andrew Polk, Joe Peissel, Danny McMahon, and Cory Combs on capital expenditure headwindsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it take to turn a part-time passion into a full-time pet-sitting business? In this episode, former veterinary technician and owner of Dreaming Tree Pet Services, Jenn Wegener, shares how her medical background gives her an edge in pet care and client trust. She opens up about the fear of leaving a steady job for the uncertainty of entrepreneurship, and how she balances structure, family, and growth. Collin and Jenn discuss the importance of networking, setting intentional goals, and knowing when to say no. Above all, Jenn reminds listeners that caring for yourself is part of caring well for others. Main topics: Overcoming fear of growth Vet tech experience in business Building trust with clients Managing stress and self-care Networking and intentional expansion Main takeaway: "I take a lot of pride in caring for other people's homes and their pets." That line from Jenn Wegener says it all. Trust is the heartbeat of pet sitting—it's what keeps clients coming back and what gives us purpose on the hard days. When you treat every pet as if they're yours, your care becomes personal, not transactional. It's the difference between a service and a relationship. Jenn's story on this week's Pet Sitter Confessional is a reminder that compassion and professionalism can (and should) go hand in hand.

Kids and teens these days face all kinds of stressors, including pressures around beauty and body image. In today's episode I talk with Dr. Chinwé Williams all about the power of connection in building both emotional resilience and body image resilience in kids and teen.  Dr. Chinwé Williams is a speaker, best-selling author, and Licensed and Board-Certified therapist whose expertise includes child and adolescent development, women's wellness, & anxiety and trauma management. In today's conversation, we discuss Dr. Williams' most recent book, entitled Calm, Courageous, and Connected: A Parent's Guide to Raising Emotionally Resilient Kids. Specifically, she discusses how and why building emotional resilience is a relational posture, how she sees beauty and body image pressures impacting kids and teens, and the emotional impact of young people getting the message that their value comes from their appearance.Dr. Williams' insights are both wise and encouraging. May you leave this conversation feeling empowered to see and connect more deeply with the young people in your life.Buy Melissa L.

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear a flowing river for two hours.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. ASMR Sleep Recordings has uploaded more than 400+ episodes in the 4 years that the podcast has been online. You can listen to all episodes of the podcast on your favorite podcast platform. People use white noise for sleep, focus, sound masking or relaxation. This podcast has the sound for you, whether you're using white noise to study, to soothe a baby with cramps, to fall asleep, or to just enjoy a quiet moment. You don't need to buy a white noise machine if you can listen to these sounds for free.

Episode 320 is a reminder that inflation isn't a mystery and it definitely isn't caused by your paycheck going up. This one cuts straight through the noise: tariffs aren't “tough policy,” they're a hidden tax, war risk isn't some abstract headline, it's an inflation accelerant, and the Fed is stuck trying to clean up a fiscal mess it didn't create. While markets pretend everything is fine, corporate margins sit at historic highs, consumers keep spending, homeowners are insulated, and the cost quietly gets passed down the line. Wages get blamed, voters get distracted, and the money printer stays off-camera. Calm on the surface, pressure underneath... and a tariff time bomb sitting right in the middle of it all.

"Fine." That autopilot response we've perfected. But while you're saying it, your jaw tightens, your stomach clenches, and somewhere deep down, a voice is screaming everything you're actually feeling.We've become experts at swallowing the truth until our bodies start speaking for us. Headaches. Sleepless nights. Rage at the grocery store. What if the problem isn't that you're falling apart but that you're too good at holding it together?Today, we're saying one true thing out loud. Listen in as we Calm it Down in 3...2...1.

Every cry feels urgent. Every opinion feels loud. But what if responding faster isn’t always better? New research reveals something surprising: being responsive matters—but being too responsive might actually make things harder for your baby (and you). In this episode, Dr Justin Coulson breaks down a powerful cross-cultural study that challenges popular parenting advice and explains what truly helps babies learn to calm themselves—without neglect, guilt, or extremes. If you’ve ever felt anxious about every sound your baby makes, this episode will change how you listen. KEY POINTS Why faster responses don’t always mean faster soothing What a UK–Uganda study reveals about infant self-regulation The difference between responsiveness and over-responsiveness How parental anxiety transfers directly to babies Why how you respond matters as much as when you respond QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Being responsive helps babies feel safe—but being over-responsive can stop them learning how to soothe themselves.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Research published in Developmental Psychology British Psychological Society (BPS) 10 Things Every Parent Needs to Know –by Dr Justin Coulson HappyFamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Pause before responding—notice the level of distress Respond quickly to real distress, not every murmur Calm yourself first—your baby borrows your nervous system Trust that small pauses can build self-soothing skills Let go of “perfect” responses and aim for attuned ones See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If the world feels louder, heavier, and more emotionally exhausting than ever...and your spiritual practice isn't giving you the calm it used to...this episode is for you. What if the problem isn't that you're “doing it wrong,” but that you've misunderstood what peace actually is?In this reflective solo episode, Will shares a Zen-inspired story; The Silent Mountain, and uses it as a grounded framework to explore a very human question: how do we stay present, awake, and spiritually connected when the world feels chaotic and emotionally overwhelming? Rather than chasing spiritual highs or bypassing discomfort, this conversation reframes spiritual awakening as a spiral, not a summit. Peace isn't found by escaping the noise of life...it emerges when we learn how to relate to it differently. This is modern spirituality without platitudes, gurus, or denial of reality.Key Insights & TakeawaysSilence isn't the absence of sound, it's the ability to remain internally steady even when life is loud.Spiritual awakening isn't linear; growth happens in cycles, with ascents and descents that are equally meaningful.Feeling anger, grief, or outrage doesn't mean you're failing spiritually, it means you're engaged with the human experience.The danger isn't emotion, it's getting stuck in it and losing perspective, agency, or gratitude.Awareness changes everything: when you stop fighting the “noise,” you begin to notice the larger pattern...the symphony underneath it all.You can hold gratitude and discomfort at the same time without invalidating either.Why This Conversation Is Different This episode avoids spiritual clichés like “just stay positive” or “everything happens for a reason.” There's no spiritual bypassing, no denial of injustice, and no promise of instant peace. Instead, Will explores consciousness and metaphysics through lived experience, acknowledging real emotional weight while refusing to let it collapse into despair. It's an invitation to stay awake inside the mess, not pretend the mess isn't there.Listener Reassurance Questioning doesn't make you cynical. Feeling overwhelmed doesn't mean you've lost your way. And curiosity does not equal gullibility. This is a space where skepticism and intuition can coexist, and where modern spirituality is allowed to be honest, imperfect, and deeply human. Call to Action Listen with curiosity, not expectation. Reflect on where you might be fighting the noise instead of listening to the larger rhythm beneath it. And if this episode resonates, join the conversation, because navigating awakening is easier when we're willing to talk about it honestly. The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a pragmatic spirituality podcast for curious minds exploring the unknown without abandoning critical thinking. Each episode breaks down metaphysics explained through grounded conversation, examining hidden truths behind spiritual awakening, consciousness expansion, and expanded consciousness. We explore intuition, mediumship, spirit guides, and the mechanics of healing and personal transformation—bridging skeptical inquiry with meaningful spiritual experience. If you're navigating your own awakening or questioning reality while staying intellectually honest, this podcast is for seekers and skeptics alike.Subscribe, Rate & Review!If you found this episode enlightening, mind-expanding, or even just thought-provoking (see what we did there?), please take a moment to rate and review us.

Are your meetings indistinguishable from 1940s wartime sabotage tactics? You're not alone. In this episode, Rebecca Hinds, author of Your Best Meeting Ever: Seven Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done, reveals why corporate meetings have become the single most dysfunctional practice in modern organizations—and how to fix them. Brandon and Rebecca explore a radical idea: what if we treated meetings like products, applying the same design principles that make great products great? From "meeting doomsday" (a complete calendar reset) to Amazon's study hall approach, Rebecca shares actionable strategies that organizations like Slack, Dropbox, and Shopify have used to declare war on meeting bloat. You'll discover why double-booking has become a toxic badge of honor, how the visibility bias makes us associate presence with productivity, and why crowdsourcing your agenda using the "Dory method" can transform boring monologues into engaging collaboration. Rebecca also tackles the AI paradox—why more meeting bots might be making your meetings worse, not better—and shares the "iron rule" that every leader needs to embrace. If you've ever walked out of a meeting wondering what you just accomplished (or why you were even there), this episode is your blueprint for change. Don't miss Rebecca's insights on why meetings are the most important—and least optimized—product in your organization.

For when you're between versions of yourself and don't know who you're becoming yet.

Tired of doing “everything right” and still feeling inflamed, foggy, and out of sync with your body? We dig into a clear, faith-forward plan to restore energy, steady hormones, and heal the gut using targeted, physician-grade supplements and practical daily habits. No fads. No hype. Just clean science, smart dosing, and tools you can actually stick with.We start by reframing the problem: modern food and stress deplete minerals, overwhelm the liver, and skew our fat balance. That's why stacked support works best. We unpack Hormone Tame as a five-in-one: activated B vitamins for methylation, mitochondrial nutrients for energy, and polyphenols that help metabolize estrogen so periods calm and mood steadies. Then we tackle the omega equation—why seed oils drive inflammation and how a high-purity omega-3, plus magnesium, can flip the script on aches, sleep, and resilience.From there, we build your gut plan. A medical-food style protein with L-glutamine soothes IBS and feeds the lining. Digestive Lift adds enzymes, gentle acid, and ox bile to prevent bloat and help you handle healthy fats. For microbiome balance, Biome Lift stabilizes daily while Spore Lift acts like a bouncer when SIBO or post-travel trouble hits. We also introduce a fiber you won't fear: a diverse prebiotic blend that increases short-chain fatty acids, nudges Akkermansia for metabolic health, and naturally boosts GLP-1 to curb cravings.Detox gets a reset with a true 3-2-1 approach—opening phase 3 and 2 before phase 1 so toxins exit rather than recirculate. Expect less bloat, brighter skin, and steadier energy when you rotate this seasonally and keep daily support with Slim Lift. If you're stepping down from GLP-1 meds or want a stimulant-free metabolism boost, MetaboLift pairs GLP-1 support with AMPK activation to quiet “food noise” and raise your burn without wrecking appetite or sleep.This is how faith, functional medicine, and simple choices meet: whole foods, better fats, prayer, rest, and supplements that respect how the body actually works. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more women find real healing.✨ Join the EMPOWERED BY FAITH: 5 Days To A Lighter You Challenge!

Are you constantly worried — even about things you can't actually control? In this video, I share a simple but powerful analogy I gave a client that completely changed how she thought about stress, responsibility, and interior peace. As Catholic moms, we often carry weight that God never asked us to carry. We worry about outcomes. We worry about the future. We worry about things that are not actually in our domain. And all of that worry quietly steals our peace. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why worrying about the "mortgage" (literal or metaphorical) is draining you - How to tell the difference between what's yours to carry and what belongs to God - Why God gives grace for real problems — but not imaginary ones - How to let go of the background worry that never seems to turn off This channel is for Catholic moms who want more interior peace in their daily lives — in motherhood, marriage, work, and faith. I'm praying for you. Please pray for me.

Relax with two hours of a gentle babbling brook flowing through a quiet forest setting. The clear water moves smoothly over stones, creating a calm and natural sound that helps the mind slow down. This peaceful stream ambience is ideal for sleep, deep focus, studying, reading, or meditation. Let the steady rhythm of the flowing water block out noise and guide you into a state of calm, clarity, and rest.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/asmr-rain-recordings--5347561/support.Lose the AD intros by becoming a subscriber!https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/asmr-rain-recordings--5347561/support

You can't change what you don't feel.Ever notice how fast anger shows up the moment you realize you messed up?You cut someone off in traffic.You miss something obvious at work.Your partner calls you out—and suddenly you're defensive, pissed, explaining, blaming, or shutting down.This episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast is about that moment—the split second when your body reacts before your character ever gets a vote.Here's the uncomfortable truth most men were never taught:Those reactions aren't a failure of willpower, maturity, or intelligence.They're nervous system reflexes.In this episode, Dr. John Schinnerer breaks down why being “wrong” often feels like a threat to survival, how your fight–flight–freeze–fawn responses hijack your behavior, and why “just calm down” has never worked (and never will). You'll learn how shame disguises itself as anger, logic, withdrawal, or people-pleasing—and what's actually happening inside your body when it does.This isn't therapy-speak or pop psychology.It's real-world, practical clarity for men who want self-mastery instead of self-judgment.Inside the episode: - Why mistakes register as danger in the nervous system - The 3 protective states that drive defensiveness, shutdown, and people-pleasing - How to spot when you're reacting from self-protection instead of choice - What secure, grounded responses actually sound like in real life - A simple, actionable reset practice you can use in the moment - The golden rule: Regulate first. Repair second. Explain last (or never).If you care about your relationships, your leadership, or the kind of man you are under pressure, this episode is essential listening.Because emotional maturity isn't about never screwing up.It's about being able to tolerate being wrong—without attacking yourself or anyone else.Listen in. Sit with it. Notice your patterns this week—not to fix them, but to understand them.That's where real change begins.Want a Higher Baseline of Calm, Confidence, and Control? Start Here…

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear calming waterfall sounds. 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.
