Feeling a little stressed lately? You're certainly not alone. Counterintuitively, instead of beating yourself up for not being able to calm down and eliminate stress altogether, consciously taking on more stress can actually make you perform better. It's strange but true: "When you need something done, give it to a busy person." Stress doesn't need to paralyze you or bowl you over, it's a natural energy that can be directed and used to your advantage. The problem is that our ancient brains can't keep up with modern threats. As our guest puts it: tigers of the savanna have transformed into a snarling inbox. Since avoiding stress is impossible, what if we stopped trying to "reduce stress" and instead learned to open the floodgates, harnessing our natural energy to use stress as a source of strength, focus and momentum?In this age of unprecedented technological change and and crippling career insecurity, how can we conquer fear and regain clarity and confidence in the face of uncertainty? Today we're here with Dr. Rebecca Heiss, a stress physiologist, researcher, keynote speaker, and author of the new book Springboard. Her work has been called transformative by the National Science Foundation, and after this episode, you'll understand why.In this episode, you'll learn:Why telling a stressed out person to calm down is the worst possible thing you can doWhy stress management workshops make us more stressedHow rugged individualism is fueling a stress epidemic, especially for menWhy adults desperately need more play, community, and shared challenge — and how that protects your brainWhy we're more afraid of snakes, spiders, and public speaking than the tiny daily choices that quietly steal years off our livesAnd much more...If you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in your own head, this conversation will help you see stress in a totally different light — not as something to escape, but as natural energy you can channel and direct to launch you to the next level of success.

Send a textThe internet lost its mind when the news dropped: David Goggins is entering the Air Force Pararescue pipeline.Instant hot takes. Instant outrage. Instant “he's stealing a slot from some kid.”Trent jumps in solo to break down what's actually happening—and what people are getting completely wrong.First, Goggins isn't taking a slot from an 18-year-old. He's coming in through a retraining slot, the same process used for prior-service members moving into the career field. Second, the pipeline isn't some fragile institution that collapses because a famous guy shows up.Trent digs into the emotional reactions inside the community, the weird internet myths about Indoc credibility, and the bigger picture that most people are missing. Love him or hate him, Goggins shines a massive spotlight on Air Force Special Warfare—and that might be the recruiting exposure the community has been asking for for years.This episode isn't hype. It's context.And maybe a reminder that the loudest opinions online usually understand the least about how the pipeline actually works. goggins-trent-draft⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Ones Ready intro and episode setup 01:10 Why everyone is freaking out about Goggins 03:30 The truth about retraining slots 06:10 Is Goggins “stealing” a pipeline spot? 08:30 Attrition myths and pipeline realities 10:40 Emotional attachment to Indoc and selection 13:00 The wild credibility argument about Goggins 15:20 Quiet professionals vs recruiting reality 17:45 Why most Americans don't know AFSW exists 20:00 Trent's honest take on David Goggins 23:00 Why the exposure could help recruiting 26:30 Potential risks and potential upside 29:20 Will he actually make it through the pipeline? 31:30 The internet reactions and community debates 34:00 Final thoughts on Goggins and the pipeline

In this episode of the Operation: Thriving Marriage podcast, Bryon and Jennifer Harvey continue their series on healthy communication in marriage by addressing a skill most couples overlook: emotional regulation before conflict. Many spouses know the right communication tools for conflict resolution—use “I” statements, listen well, avoid interrupting—but struggle to apply them when emotions run high. The truth is, you cannot have healthy conflict resolution in marriage if your body is in fight-or-flight mode. Telling your spouse to “calm down” rarely works and often feels dismissive, yet calming yourself down is essential for productive communication. Emotional maturity means recognizing when you are escalating and taking responsibility for regulating your own response. The Harveys introduce the concept of a “tactical pause”—a purposeful break taken not to avoid the argument, but to prepare for it. Just as high-stress environments require intentional pauses to restore safety and clarity, marriage sometimes requires couples to unplug before continuing a difficult conversation. This kind of pause is not abandonment, avoidance, or going to bed angry in a destructive way. Instead, it's a strategic step toward healthier communication. Couples can move their bodies to lower stress hormones, practice slow breathing to regulate the nervous system, and engage in prayer or Scripture meditation to re-center emotionally. These practical tools help calm anger in marriage and create the physical readiness needed for respectful dialogue. Healthy marriage communication doesn't start with better words—it starts with a regulated body and mind. By learning how to calm down before conflict, couples can prevent destructive arguments and build a pattern of biblical conflict resolution rooted in responsibility, self-control, and commitment. In this episode, Bryon and Jennifer make it clear: unplugging from the argument is not walking away from the marriage. It is preparing to return to the conversation in a way that strengthens trust, deepens connection, and protects the long-term health of your relationship.

Are we governing for the moment? Or reacting to it?This week on Balance of Power, Annalise Klingbeil, Leah Ward and Shannon Phillips break down three political pressure points, and what they reveal about leadership in high-stakes moments.First: The fallout from the Tumbler Ridge tragedy in B.C. After reporting revealed OpenAI had flagged violent content from the alleged shooter but did not alert authorities, the panel digs into AI regulation, public safety, and the politics of crisis response. How fast can governments realistically move? And when international media drives the story, does that change the pressure on Ottawa?Then: Alberta's referendum fight. With multiple groups organizing against separatism, and others pushing citizen initiatives of their own, is decentralized activism a strength or a liability? What does effective organizing actually look like before the writ drops?Plus: a new segment, The Opinionati. When progressive columnists publicly question Naheed Nenshi's leadership, what happens inside caucus? Is this a real warning sign — or just the hyper-engaged political class talking to itself? And if there is a pivot coming, what would it look like?AI, organizing, narrative control, and a reminder that sometimes the most strategic move is to touch grass and calm down.Welcome to Balance of Power.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's speech about balancing NYC's budget raised a lot of eyebrows when Zohran Mamdani mentioned a default plan that would include raising property taxes for middle-class New Yorkers if his original plan to tax the wealthy doesn't go through. Late-night host Stephen Colbert went on a rant at CBS for canning an interview with Trump critic James Talarico. Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. Howie begins by arguing that the Obama Administration was a massive failure. Mark and Howie analyze how the Clintons are reacting to the files and also how the testimony could go. Our Charity Auction winner for hunger, Irving Goldfarb from NJ, joined Mark in the studio to discuss his business and the aspirations of Mark's show. Rosie O'Donnell has come back to the USA after she said she wasn't, due to President Trump, and came to visit her family. The John F. Kennedy Jr. miniseries is performing well with viewers. Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann explains the reason she said a few years ago that former Senator Joseph McCarthy gets a bad rap. Former President Bill Clinton has historically invoked it as a negative benchmark for political attacks, labeling aggressive, partisan, or smear-based tactics as "McCarthyism." He notably used this comparison to criticize Republicans in 1992, 2012, and 2026 and make them look bad. Ann wrote about all this and explained in detail what she saw and meant about how Bill Clinton navigated his political career to bash McCarthy's actions and put him as the reason Republicans are the way they are today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever told yourself, “Other moms handle this better than I do,” this episode is for you. So many moms feel overwhelmed—and then feel ashamed for feeling overwhelmed. Like if we were more organized, more disciplined, or better at self-care, we wouldn't be so on edge all the time. But what if overwhelm isn't a personal failure? In this episode of the No Guilt Mom Podcast, I'm joined by neuroscience-based coach Emelia Ferreira to talk about what actually happens to a woman's brain during motherhood—and why telling yourself to “just calm down” doesn't work. We unpack how motherhood rewires your brain for survival, how overwhelm becomes conditioned over time, and why so many traditional parenting and self-care strategies miss the mark for moms. This conversation is validating, eye-opening, and deeply reassuring—especially if you've ever wondered what's wrong with you. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Why motherhood changes your brain—and why that's not a bad thing Your brain becomes more specialized and hypervigilant after having a baby. That constant mental load? It's not a flaw. It's your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do. 2. How overwhelm becomes “normal” for moms Without the community support mothers once had, our brains stay stuck in survival mode—while parenting, working, managing households, and carrying emotional labor. 3. Why overwhelm isn't a mindset problem You can't think your way out of something that's physiological. This is why self-care alone and willpower-based parenting strategies often fall short. 4. The connection between guilt, shame, and mom overwhelm That guilt you feel when you rest or step back? It's wired into a protective system meant to keep your child safe—not a sign you're doing motherhood wrong. 5. One small, realistic way to support your mom brain Emelia shares a simple breath-and-body-based practice that helps override overwhelm without adding another thing to your to-do lis Resources Mentioned Emilia Ferreira's neuroscience-based guide Learn more about No Guilt Mom Circle—where overwhelmed moms get parenting support that reduces burnout, not adds to it Learn more about your ad choices.

On this edition of The Dugout, Jacob is joined by Alex Moneypenny from The Different Knock to dissect the emotional fallout of the 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest. Despite sitting seven points clear at the top, the vibes are complicated—so how do we hold two opposing truths at once? In this episode we discuss: The Premier League “Quality” Debate: Alex delivers a hot take on why the narrative that the league is “terrible” this year is wrong, arguing that the league has never been more compact or difficult. The Joy Deficit: Jacob explores the struggle of the modern fan experience—why does being top of the league feel like a grind, and is the “journey” actually enjoyable this season? The Gyökeres Inquest: An emotionally honest conversation about Viktor Gyökeres. Is it a “translation” issue from the Portuguese league, and should he be used as a “hero” substitute rather than a starter against low blocks? Tactical Philosophy: A deep dive into whether Mikel Arteta prioritizes “relationships over profiling” in his team selection, and how that might be stalling the attack. The San Siro Test: Looking ahead to Inter Milan—why players won't accept rotation for a Champions League anthem night, and the desperate need for Kai Havertz to return.

Topics discussed in this episode include: Why waiting for things to calm down is a trap. How "working fine" still steals your time, energy, and pay. The real reason change feels risky.

She tells the story of her Amazon team's white elephant celebration complete with matching onesies and a real Christmas tree on the road! Meanwhile, Erin's week 17 was spent battling a travel nightmare to get to her game in Buffalo. Then, at the game as the Bills battled the Eagles, Erin was battling the coldest rain possible on the sidelines as well as technical challenges. They talk New Year's resolutions and their after Christmas, Christmas celebration together. Erin tells the story of her girl, Claire's reaction when she saw herself in the crowd on Taylor Swift's "End of and Era" documentary. Rancher Steve, or Beave as he now likes to be called, makes an appearance in between cattle tendin' and holds his New Years resolutions close to his ranch coat.

On this post-holiday Pregame episode of the Calm Down podcast, Erin and Charissa talk about the one thing about Christmas that they don't like; that it ends. That, along with the process of finding places to store all the Christmas plates! They talk about feeling uncomfortable when they see themselves on TV, and other things you learn when watching “game film”. Another question leads to a discussion about being comfortable with your own journey and the challenge of trying to see the positives of that journey in the moment. They talk about what they would do if they could do another job for a week - Charissa would like to be a kindergarten teacher and Erin would like to come back as a dancer on Taylor Swift’s next tour. After many discussions about facing life head-on, Erin talks about the bravery of those who tackle infertility.
