Podcasts about Change

In this powerful episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin takes brothers deep into the heart of awakened relationships - what he calls Alpha relationships - and reveals why most modern partnerships are built on misunderstanding, incompleteness, and unconscious need. Broadcasting from Tulum, Mexico, Kevin opens with reflections on the land, the energy, and the sense of peace that reconnects him to a timeless part of himself. From that grounded presence, he pivots into the core teaching of today's episode: what happens when two awakening beings encounter one another in relationship.Kevin explains the fundamental distinction between beta relationships - rooted in lack, need, codependency, and the ego's belief in incompleteness - and alpha relationships, which arise from wholeness, recognition, and conscious connection. Most people aren't falling in love, he explains; they're falling into need. They're entering relationships trying to fill a void within themselves. Two half-filled cups pouring into each other, emptying and refilling, never realizing the fullness must first come from within.But when two alphas meet - two awakening individuals who know who they are, who have remembered their true nature - everything changes. Alphas do not need each other. And it is the absence of need that creates the presence of true freedom, genuine intimacy, effortless communication, and deep mutual respect.Kevin reveals how awakened communication differs from ego communication: alphas aren't defending positions, playing games, or seeking validation. They're playing, exploring, listening, and learning from each other. They can fully disagree without conflict because neither identifies with the mind or its opinions. Silence becomes meaningful. Differences become invitations to expand. Mystery becomes celebrated rather than controlled.The episode dives into emotional mastery within awakened relationships - why alphas don't create drama, don't cling, don't possess, don't manipulate, and don't collapse into fear of abandonment. Kevin reminds us that only children and animals can be abandoned. Adults cannot. An alpha knows he is whole, complete, and unbroken - no matter what another person chooses.Kevin then explores physical intimacy, describing the spiritual and tantric depth that emerges when two alphas meet in sexual connection - not for validation, conquest, or escape, but as a conscious dance of awareness, play, and presence.He also speaks about conflict, growth, generosity, separation, and the natural rhythms of coming together and moving apart. In awakened relationships, there is no clinging. Space is not a threat. Change is not fear. Love is attraction and freedom, breath in and breath out.Ultimately, Kevin reminds brothers that after awakening, life still looks the same on the outside - chop wood, carry water - but the inner world transforms completely. Relationships don't change; the one who is in the relationship changes.This episode closes with the profound truth: when two alphas recognize each other, a field of consciousness is created that affects everyone around them. A relationship becomes not two separate beings in love, but love recognizing itself.Elevate your alpha, brothers.

Are your results being shaped by effort, or by something far more subtle and powerful? In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge common assumptions about self-improvement, personal development, and success. They unpack how consistency, attention, and daily decision-making quietly determine long-term outcomes, often without people realizing it. This conversation is direct, grounded, and built for those who care about sustainable growth, not short-term motivation. If you want sharper habits, better decisions, and progress you can actually trust, this episode will recalibrate how you think about success. Run the system. Track the inputs. Let time do the rest. _______________________Learn more about:The “Next Level Dreamliner” is a productivity journal that turns clarity and accountability into consistent action. Grab your copy

How to master cognitive flexibility by understanding the biases that keep you stuck. In WWI, generals sent horses against machine guns. Cognitive Rigidity mean they couldn't reimagine the battlefield. In this episode, I break down the five mental traps keeping you stuck. We look at why you value your own bad ideas more than good ones (The Endowment Effect) and why you can't stop scrolling TikTok instead of working (Hyperbolic Discounting). We even cover why Einstein—the genius of flexibility—eventually got stuck in his ways and rejected quantum mechanics. Actionable Takeaways: Reimagine the tool: Don't ask what it is, ask what it could be to overcome functional fixedness. Question the crowd: The Bandwagon Effect offers safety, not truth; dare to be the outlier. Respect the future: Overcome the urge for immediate gratification by empathizing with your future self. Choose to see the world differently and open the door to possibility. SPONSORS

We all screw up. We all fail in some way. We fall short of goals, or get embarrassed in some kind of career implosion or other event. It's easy then to feel like we'll never win again.That is not how God sees you.Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”   Hope and a future. That's what's ahead, not depression and failure. The Bible is full of stories of people God would not allow to slip away. Peter denied Christ, and the Savior forgave him! Sarah mocked the idea that she would ever have a child, but God let her be a mother late in life!This is the world God created. Not one of misery and losing. Does it make sense that He would create you in very specific ways, uniquely gifted as you are, and then just give up on you?Don't let that be your story. Your part in it is refusing to believe the enemy when you hear that voice that tells you it's all over.God knows the plans He has for you!

In this episode of the Food Junkies Podcast, Clarissa and Molly sit down with psychologist Dr. Carrie Wilkens to unpack what it really means to help people change without shame, stigma, or power struggles. Drawing from decades of work in substance use, eating disorders, trauma, and family systems, Carrie invites us to rethink "denial," "relapse," "codependency," and even the disease model itself, while still honoring the seriousness of addiction and the depth of people's pain. Together, we explore how self-compassion, curiosity, and values-based behavior change can transform not only individual recovery but also how families, helpers, and communities show up for the people they love. In this episode, we explore: Lived experience & professional work How Carrie's own long-term healing around food and her body continues to shape the compassion and curiosity she brings to her work. The idea that our relationship with food and our bodies changes across the lifespan—and why "lifelong relationship management" matters more than perfection. Do you have to be "in recovery" to help? The pressures clinicians face when they're asked, "Are you in recovery?" and how that question can be loaded with judgment and assumptions. Why personal experience with a specific substance or behavior is not a prerequisite to being deeply effective as a helper. How Carrie talks with clients and families about her own history in a way that's honest, boundaried, and clinically useful. Rethinking 'denial' and harmful language Why words like "denial," "addict," "codependent," "chronic relapser," and "it's a slippery slope" can shut people down rather than open them up. A more curious approach: asking "What do you mean by that?" and unpacking the real story underneath labels. How language can either invite people into self-understanding—or reinforce shame, fear, and disconnection. Softening the disease model without minimizing the problem Nuanced ways to honor addiction as a serious, complex disorder without collapsing everything into a rigid disease frame. How fear (of overdose, loss, chaos, or death) drives a lot of rigid thinking in systems and professionals. Why behavior change is slow, non-linear, and rarely a straight line—and how accepting that can actually make care more effective. Relapse as an "old solution that once worked" Carrie's reframe of relapse as returning to an old behavior that, at one time, made sense and worked on some level. How naming the function of a behavior (soothing, numbing, regulating, connecting) opens the door to new, less harmful solutions. The difference between "You didn't want it enough" and "Your brain reached for an old strategy that once helped you survive." The Invitation to Change Approach (ITC) The core elements of ITC: Motivational interviewing–informed curiosity and ambivalence exploration. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based living. A deep commitment to self-compassion as a foundation for behavior change. Why ITC was originally developed for family members and then adapted for people with substance use concerns themselves. How the "wheel" of ITC lets people step in wherever they are—self-awareness, values, behavior strategies, or compassion—and build over time. Families, shame, and staying engaged without "tough love" Inviting family members to ask: "How does my loved one's behavior make sense?" instead of "What's wrong with them?" How this shift helps parents and partners move from fear and control into strategy, support, and skillful engagement. Concrete examples of how families can respond to return to use with curiosity, concern, and clearer communication instead of lectures or ultimatums. Codependency and other overused labels Why Carrie has never formally diagnosed anyone with "codependency." What often lives underneath that label: trauma histories, cultural norms, attachment dynamics, fear of loss, and learned survival strategies. How flattening all of that into "codependent" erases nuance and blocks meaningful change. Neurodivergence, trauma, and substance use/eating behaviors The high rates of PTSD and ADHD among people seeking help for substance use—and why that matters for treatment design. Carrie's reflection on her own undiagnosed ADHD and how it likely drove much of her earlier eating disorder behavior. How binges, purging, and substance use can function as powerful nervous system regulators, especially for neurodivergent and trauma-impacted brains. Why we need more ground-up, neurodivergent- and trauma-informed approaches that focus on emotion regulation, executive functioning, and skill-building. Self-compassion as a behavior change superpower Carrie's journey from skepticism ("this sounds too woo") to seeing self-compassion as essential, research-backed behavior-change work. How self-compassion reduces shame, helps people tolerate slow progress, and makes it safer to look honestly at their own behavior. Using both "tender" and "fierce" self-compassion to choose boundaries, seek support, and keep moving through discomfort. Reimagining 'expert' roles and community care Why Carrie is skeptical of rigid expert hierarchies in addiction treatment. Inviting families, community leaders, and lay helpers into the work through accessible tools like ITC groups and trainings. The power of giving non-clinicians simple, evidence-based language and frameworks so they can respond with compassion instead of panic or shame. About Dr. Carrie Wilkens Carrie Wilkens, PhD, is a psychologist with more than 25 years of experience in the practice and dissemination of evidence-based treatments for substance use and post-traumatic stress. She is the Co-President and CEO of CMC: Foundation for Change, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing evidence-based ideas and strategies to families, communities, and professionals supporting people struggling with substances. Carrie is a co-developer of the Invitation to Change (ITC) Approach, an accessible, skills-based framework that helps families stay engaged, reduce shame, and effectively support a loved one's behavior change. ITC is now used across the U.S. and internationally in groups, trainings, and community programs.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why the traditional idea of work-life balance is holding so many people back from real self-improvement.

Instead of chasing balance, you'll learn the performance-driven frame high achievers use to make progress across health, wealth, and love without burning out or drifting off course. This is a direct, practical look at personal development for people who want results, not clichés.

There's a reason the Bible uses so many metaphors. The wisdom God has for us lends itself well to short narratives, and we learn much from stories.A famous passage from Isaiah we've been discussing this week uses a powerful mental image to convey deep truths from God.Isaiah 40:31 says, “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”The sight of a majestic eagle, flying high above the ground…well, it can just make us feel good. It inspires. Gliding on the wind, the eagle dominates the place we'd like to be.This gorgeous creature is exactly where God wants it to be. Free and sure of its place in the world, the eagle uses its extraordinary eyesight to see the big picture.This is the place God wants you to be, and why He uses this verse in Isaiah to let us know our aspirations are not limited to the ground, not dependent on gravity.Like the majestic eagle, let God free you to fly in every area of your life.Let's pray. Lord, your beautiful creation inspires us. Put us to flight so that we go to the place you have prepared for us. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

What assumptions have you made about what is 'normal' from the way you grew up? Christmas is a time that can trigger a lot of people. If you didn't grow up with the fairytale, you can make it - if you want it. In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Christopher Hughes about how to become the protagonist of your own life story; not just at Christmas time, but always. What if you gave up the entertainment of this reality, including all your 'problems' and ways you diminish your life, and out created yourself so that you can explode into something different? You deserve everything you are willing to have! Questions And Tools: "What problem am I using to entertain myself so that I am not bored?" "Dear universe, thank you for everything you've shown me and what else is possible?" "What else is possible with money?" "What is my pit crew?"

In this In The Trenches episode, we dig into the psychology of mixed signals, friendzones, breadcrumbing, and almost-relationships. From slow-burn connections that feel safe but confusing to flirty “friends” who keep you close for validation, we break down how to tell the difference between a secure slow build and self-friend-zoning. You'll learn why some people want your emotional support without offering real intimacy, how to stop filling in the blanks with fantasy, and what mixed messages actually reveal about someone's intentions. We also get into situationships with no clarity, avoidant communication, and the ego-hit that keeps you hoping things will change. You'll learn the markers of genuine interest vs passive connection, how to initiate the conversations that create clarity, and how to stop outsourcing your worth to inconsistency. If you're stuck in limbo, questioning the dynamic, or tired of reading between the lines, this episode gives you the tools to see the pattern and choose what actually serves you.

How the mind blinds us to reality by showing us what we want to believe. We don't see with our eyes; we see with our stories. In 1951, psychologists proved that fans from opposing teams physically saw different fouls during the same game. This is the power and danger of perception. It is the tension between what is real and what we believe is possible. When a doctor gives a patient a placebo, the patient heals not because of medicine, but because of the story of the medicine. In this episode, we explore the cognitive biases that shape our culture and our work. From the "Baader-Meinhof" phenomenon to the tragedy of Napoleon's retreat, we examine how our perceptions limit our possibilities. Actionable Takeaways: Change the narrative: Use the Placebo Effect to create positive outcomes through the power of expectation. See the system: Recognize how the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon highlights opportunities you previously ignored. Reframing value: Use the Contrast Effect to understand how relative comparison dictates the worth of your work. Go make a ruckus by changing how you choose to see the world around you. SPONSORS

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I dive into the heart of my new book, Taxes for Humans, a guide I wrote to demystify taxes for creatives, freelancers, and self-employed people. I open up about my own history with money shame and why understanding taxes is so much bigger than numbers on a return. Taxes reflect our culture, our values, and the systems we move through every day. I share some of the behind-the-scenes, humor, and stories that shaped this book, and we talk about why real financial empowerment requires community, civic engagement, and a better approach to financial education. If you've ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or alone in figuring out your finances, this conversation will help you feel seen, and give you tools to navigate taxes with confidence and clarity.

Whenever we have to overcome an obstacle in our lives, we are thinking about a million different things. Our minds race. We might even be aware that our Creator is there to help.But have you ever considered that even when life gets tough, you can still have joy?Romans 12:12 says, “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”Sheila Walsh has said that what got her through a bout of depression was the knowledge that God the Father loved her and wanted the best for her.Today, one of her missions in life is to help others recover their joy, by pointing them to the Lord. The truth is, this life sometimes beats us up, but those circumstances don't have to win. It isn't inevitable.It's when we learn to rejoice while clinging to hope that true joy comes.Let's pray. Lord, in our lowest moments, we cling to you and your promises. Thank you for that joy. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

Most people are trying to "goal" their way into a better year. They set resolutions, white-knuckle new habits, and wonder why everything falls apart by March. In this episode, Jim breaks that pattern wide open. 2026 won't rise to the level of your goals. It will fall to the level of your systems—and your systems are built on identity, energy, and emotional mastery. Jim walks you through how elite performers think (Kobe, Brady, Navy SEALs), how your brain literally fights anything that doesn't match your identity, and why stillness and silence—not more noise—are the unlocks for wealth, clarity, and calling. If you're serious about becoming the kind of person for whom wealth, health, and opportunity are inevitable—not accidental—this is your blueprint. What You'll Learn How to recode who you are in 2026. How (and why) to treat energy as currency  The confidence flywheel and why action must come before feeling "ready". A practical stillness protocol to hear from God, regulate your emotions, and make higher-quality business and money decisions. Action Steps Complete this sentence: "In 2026, I'm the kind of person who…" Let this identity drive your behavior. Identify one energizer and one drainer. Double the energizer. Delete the drainer. Phone on airplane mode. Sit upright. Breathe 4-2-6 for a few cycles. Do this every day for 30 days.  Jim Oliver's Shared Wisdom "Don't ask, 'What do I want in 2026?' Ask, 'Who must I become so that everything I want becomes inevitable?' Change your identity, protect your energy, sit in silence, and then take the courageous step. That's how you become unstoppable."

Do you ever feel like you're alone in your leadership?  Why is that? Why do so many church leaders feel isolated—and how did we come to believe that ministry is something we're supposed to do alone?In this episode, E.K. Strawser, author of You Were Never Meant to Lead Alone, unpacks what it means to move from solo leadership to a model shaped by shared responsibility and the APEST framework—apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher—so that not only our churches, but our communities, can flourish.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Markus Watson invites discussion about the standard view of leadership and prompts E.K. Strawser to unpack its problems and what's missing.Church members often expect leaders to command control, draw crowds, or have significant contributions, which influences congregational dynamics.E.K. Strawser argues that modern church leadership borrows too heavily from secular business models rather than biblical principles of shared leadership.Traditional notions of leadership in churches leave congregations disempowered, dependent, or deprived when power is centered on a single leader.If a leader does not share leadership, the church risks losing members' sense of identity and purpose.E.K. Strawser emphasizes that effective leaders must be disciples of Jesus first, prioritizing spiritual maturity over skill sets.Leaders should embody humility, honor, hospitality, and hopefulness as markers of mature church leadership.Markus Watson notes that churches often select leaders for functional skills rather than spiritual maturity, highlighting a common problem in leadership development.Christian hospitality means making space for others, not just providing comfort or amenities.E.K. Strawser teaches congregations to celebrate and honor each other to counteract envy and encourage spiritual growth.Leaders foster environments where others can learn, heal, experience hospitality, seek justice, and be sent out for ministry.Markus Watson asks E.K. Strawser to explain the APEST framework and its practical value for sharing leadership in churches.All five APEST gifts—apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher—should be represented in shared leadership structures at every level of church leadership.Implementing shared leadership and equipping environments requires intentional structure and ongoing relational attention.Change in church leadership provokes grief and resistance, so leaders must create environments that acknowledge loss, facilitate grieving, and cast clear vision.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:E.K.

This episode focuses on the themes of transition and impartation in the spiritual journey, using the biblical stories of Elijah, Elisha, and Gehazi to illustrate how walking with God leads to seasons of change, growth, and responsibility. The speaker emphasizes the importance of moving from being a spiritual son or daughter to becoming a spiritual parent, imparting wisdom and anointing to others. Through examples from 1 Kings and 2 Kings, the message highlights obedience, humility, and the dangers of pride and transactional thinking, ultimately calling listeners to embrace a life of daily surrender and contentment in godliness rather than seeking personal gain or recognition.

In this inspiring episode, Mike sits down with Adam Mizel, co-founder of US United, to explore how real national healing starts with one simple idea: choose positivity, then pass it on. After leaving a 20-year private equity career, Adam dedicated himself to bridging America's divides through service, storytelling, and connection. He shares how the Sheriff Unity Network, now active in over 100 counties, is quietly strengthening communities by addressing issues like mental health, addiction, homelessness, and everyday public trust—often in ways most people never see. Adam brings this mission to life through powerful stories of conversations with people across the political spectrum, revealing a truth often lost in headlines: most Americans want unity far more than conflict. He and Mike also spotlight National Unity Day (December 13th) and its two simple, transformative actions—Make the Call to reconnect with someone you've drifted from, and Change the Algorithm by flooding social media with positive content. This episode is more than a conversation—it's an invitation. If you want a more compassionate, connected America, start with one action today: reach out, lift someone up, and be the spark your community needs.   IN THIS EPISODE:

 "It wasn't just about getting more, it was about getting more to make a difference." —Bob Harrison   Some moments shake our confidence in what is possible. Old stories rise up, limits feel real, and self-doubt starts calling the shots. Then a new idea comes along and reminds us that a bigger life waits on the other side of the thinking that once kept us safe. Dr. Increase, Bob Harrison, shares how early conditioning, scarcity thinking, and personal loss shaped his approach to abundance. His journey reveals how a shift in mindset can ripple into faith, family, business, and long-term purpose. Press play for a wake-up call wrapped in real stories, practical wisdom, and a few laughs from a man who rebuilt more than once. Topics include: • The hidden programming that limits growth • Fixed pie thinking and how it steals opportunity • Why increased thinking changes more than finances • Rebuilding after loss and adversity • The power of long-term stability • How generosity expands capacity • Lessons from VIP rooms, mentors, and quiet breakthroughs • Choosing discomfort as a path to higher levels   Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube   Episode Highlights: 02:09 Meet Dr. Increase  04:17 Overcoming Fixed Pie Thinking  09:19 The Impact of Increased Thinking on Multiple Areas of Life 12:33 Handling Adversity with Increased Thinking  16:06 The Importance of Stability and Long-Term Success 28:19 Reinventing and Adapting to Change  33:53 The Reward of Increased Thinking  

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros reveal why your confidence and consistency are shaped less by what happens and more by the meaning you attach to those moments. After thousands of coaching calls and nearly a decade of daily episodes, Kevin and Alan have seen how unexamined beliefs quietly influence decision-making, self-improvement, and long-term personal development. This conversation challenges the assumptions you've been operating from and offers a clearer lens for understanding how identity is built and reshaped over time. If you've ever felt stuck, uncertain, or confused by your own reactions, this episode delivers the perspective shift you didn't know you needed.Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

This episode breaks down why waiting for someone to come back feels so intoxicating — and why it keeps you stuck. We unpack the psychology behind ambiguous loss, ego-driven attachment, the fantasy loops your brain clings to, and the deeper wounds waiting protects you from. If you're torn between “I hope they come back” and “God, I hope they don't,” this will give you clarity you've never had. You'll learn how to tell the difference between missing them vs. missing the validation, why waiting functions as avoidance, what “they always come back” actually means, and the exact questions to ask yourself if they do reappear. If you're tired of living in the “maybe,” this episode will hit home. Struggling in dating?
