In this conversation, Adam Cox and Dale Turnbull explore the journey into hypnosis, the impact of NLP, and the significance of metaphors in personal development and therapy. They discuss how personal metaphors shape our understanding of life and the challenges of change. The dialogue delves into the concept of life as a game, the implications of simulation theory, and the metaphorical perspective on mental health. Dale shares insights from his experiences and upcoming workshops, emphasizing the importance of context in therapy and the power of metaphors in facilitating change.About Dale in his own wordsMetaphors of Movement operates within the realm of autogenic metaphor that is, metaphor generated naturally and internally by the client. All the metaphorical structures explored during the process arise organically from the client, with no content imposed by the therapist.Metaphors of Movement utilizes idiomatic communication to translate unconscious experience from the non-dominant hemisphere of the brain to conscious awareness (dominant hemisphere). This gives a fuller picture of the problem, creating harmonized understanding within the brain.Hi, I'm Dale Turnbull, an Englishman living in New York, and I help people create meaningful change through training, coaching, and mentoring in Metaphors of Movement. My aim is simple: to open up new possibilities for both clients and therapists by exploring how change really works.I got started in this field through Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), learning directly from the creators John Grinder and Richard Bandler. That experience kicked off a fascination with what is the differnece that truly makes the difference when it comes to change work. Since then, I've added a few more tools to my kit including Hypnosis, Provocative Change Works (PCW), Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) and Metaphors of Movement (MoM).After more than 12 years working with individuals and organizations, I'm now focused on sharing this powerful, eye-opening approach with others.

What if the most effective strategy for leading change isn't fear-based urgency, but love? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Mohammad Anwar to explore a rethinking of how leaders can approach change by centering people, building trust, and creating psychological safety. Together, Kevin and Mohammad discuss why traditional change management approaches fail, how fear activates resistance, and why prioritizing emotional intelligence and human connection leads to sustainable transformation. They dive into six behavioral principles that underpin "love as a change strategy," including embracing discomfort, practicing empathetic curiosity, and wielding influence effectively. Mohammad also challenges conventional models like Maslow's hierarchy, advocating instead for love and belonging as the true foundation of human needs.

The cost of perfection left me perfectly exhausted. Be thin, but not too thin. Be confident but not overly confident. Be successful, but not too successful. If you're with me and you experience the pressure to be perfect, this is a perfect paradox—and it is time to dump the impossible standards that are destroying your mental health and that are so tied to eating disorders. In this episode, I'm diving into the relentless pressure to be perfect and how it's literally rewiring your brain to keep you stuck. Whether you're just starting your recovery journey or you've been on this path for years, perfectionism might feel like both an old friend and your biggest obstacle. And when you couple perfectionism with the pressure from culture and society to be Instagram-ready? The output you receive is simply exhaustion. You're exhausted, sis. And trying to live up to these impossible standards. But today, we're going to dissect this. We're going to look at what science says about breaking free. Because you don't just have to take my word for it—research shows your brain can actually change. In this episode, you'll discover: The impossible standards we're all trying to live up to (and why they're literally impossible) The shocking statistics: 68% of individuals with eating disorders display clinically significant perfectionism Why perfectionism often appears YEARS before any eating disorder behaviors The deep roots of perfectionism: family dynamics, trauma, social media (users who spend 3+ hours/day are 60% more likely to develop body image issues) The neuroscience: How perfectionists have heightened activity in the brain's "error detection center" How altered serotonin and dopamine systems make it harder for perfectionists to feel "good enough" or satisfied The vicious cycle: threat detection → anxiety → perfectionist behaviors → temporary relief → reinforced neural pathways The HOPE: How mindfulness, self-compassion, and exposure to imperfection can actually change your brain Why true recovery happens when you stop trying to do it perfectly and start doing it honestly A powerful devotional insight: "God won't bless who you pretend to be" The truth: Your worth isn't measured by impossible standards—it's measured by your courage to show up If you're tired of being tired, if you're exhausted from trying to be "perfect," if you feel stuck in the perfect paradox—this episode will give you both the science and the hope you need to break free. KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

Most people treat dating like a lottery; swipe, hope, repeat. Jonathan Aslay lost $2 million, his marriage, and his son. What saved him wasn't positive thinking. It was asking one brutal question: "What happened in your marriage?" Not to judge. To observe. Because how someone talks about their ex reveals everything about their emotional maturity. Self-love isn't bubble baths and affirmations. It's having the spine to walk away from someone hot but emotionally stunted. It's recognizing that your body screams "yes" while your values whisper "run." Chemistry is a drug. Compatibility is architecture. Most relationships fail because people confuse the two. You'll learn: The exact question that exposes emotional immaturity in 30 seconds Why chemistry without shared values guarantees failure How to interview dates without sounding like HR (and why you should) Stop wasting months on people who were wrong from day three.

Send Jackie A Message!Another Pilates studio just opened down the street. Another yoga space launched with “expert teachers” and a “welcoming community.” And suddenly, referrals feel slower, growth feels harder, and you're wondering what actually makes a studio stand out anymore.In this episode, Jackie Murphy breaks down exactly how one Pilates studio generated $81,605 in revenue over a single Black Friday weekend—and why it had nothing to do with luck, hustle, or having “better teachers.”You'll learn why the old boutique fitness playbook (word-of-mouth and hoping people find you) no longer works, how omni-channel marketing and paid ads now drive growth, and why changing less and repeating what works is the real path to sustainable profit.Jackie walks you through the strategy behind the sale: waitlists, consistent messaging across every platform, ads that supported (not replaced) organic marketing, and why a $226 ad spend produced a 359x return.If competition feels intimidating right now, this episode will show you how to stop reacting—and start leading.Timestamped Outline[00:00] Why competition feels louder in 2026[02:30] The $81,605 Black Friday case study[05:30] Change less, evaluate more, repeat[07:30] Omni-channel marketing explained[10:00] Why Black Friday doesn't start on Black Friday[12:30] Email + SMS + ads working together[15:00] The $226 ad spend breakdown (359x ROAS)[18:00] Why ads work better when they support organic[21:00] Long-term nurturing vs short-term sales[24:00] Setting big goals without attaching fear[27:00] Why this is possible for your studio tooKey Takeaways Competition isn't the problem—unclear messaging is“Great teachers” is not a differentiator anymoreSustainable profit comes from repeating proven campaignsOmni-channel marketing makes buying easierAds amplify what's already working organicallyYou don't need a massive ad budget to get massive resultsLong-term trust builds high-ticket sales like annual membershipsPull Quotes“Change less.

Consumers have more options and need clearer messaging to choose.Do yoga and Pilates studios really need paid ads now? Yes—organic marketing alone no longer reaches enough people. Ads help amplify what's already working.How much should studios spend on ads for campaigns like Black Friday? There's no one number, but this case study shows that even low ad spend can produce high returns when paired with strong messaging.Is Black Friday still worth it for boutique studios?

Florida received some snow over the previous weekend, causing the Internet to erupt in conspiracy chants of climate change or weather modification. It never snows in Florida, most assume, despite a documented history dating back 200 years of occasional snow in the northern parts of the state. The same conspiracy hysteria erupted in 2024 too, including the idea that snow wasn't even real. Despite it having melted 12 months ago, the new snow, and a few flurries in Florida, is being called fake. As is the fog, ice, and even cold weather in general. In fact, some believe the cold weather itself is a conspiracy to freeze a giant monster in the ocean. This is all despite December, January, and February being the month of Old Man Winter, who has been beaten and buried with no memory or remorse. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode of Culture of Change, Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes dig into the unraveling narratives coming out of Davos and the growing panic among global elites as long-standing systems begin to fracture. The conversation centers on the World Economic Forum's messaging around AI, globalization, and economic control, questioning whether fear is being deliberately deployed to maintain authority in a rapidly shifting world. Ashe and Abbey break down key statements from Davos, explore the collapse of the “rules-based international order,” and examine how narratives around AI, climate policy, and global integration are being used to pressure compliance. The episode also dives into discernment in an age of information overload, the role of belief versus authority, and why sovereignty, truth, and human judgment are becoming increasingly threatening to centralized power. As the old frameworks strain under their own contradictions, this conversation asks who is really panicking, and why.

1. Short, Limited Government Shutdown Most federal agencies and benefits (Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, food assistance, mail service, passports) are unaffected. The shutdown mainly impacts non‑essential services and is expected to last only a few days. Shutdowns are often politically exaggerated, and that even full shutdowns leave most government operations running. 2. Detransitioner Lawsuit as a Legal Turning Point A New York jury verdict awarded $2 million to a woman who underwent gender‑related breast removal surgery as a minor and later detransitioned. The case is presented as: The first successful malpractice/detransitioner lawsuit of its kind. A potential precedent that could encourage similar lawsuits nationwide. The argument is this: to Change medical and hospital behavior. Increase legal scrutiny of gender‑affirming care for minors. Gender‑transition procedures for minors have become a profitable industry. Some hospitals and professionals allegedly prioritize financial incentives and ideology over long‑term patient welfare. The lawsuit can be a tool too: Hold professionals financially and legally accountable. Deter similar practices through litigation risk. 3. Trump’s Withdrawal from UN Agencies and Treaties Withdrew the U.S. from 66 United Nations agencies, programs, and international commitments. Cut or refused funding to several UN bodies, contributing to a UN financial crisis. A move to reduce U.S. taxpayer spending. A rejection of what they characterize as ineffective or ideologically driven international programs. The UN is financially mismanaged and overly dependent on U.S. funding.

A listener said their life isn't dramatic enough for a story. This episode proves them wrong — with 4 AI prompts you can try today. Every artist has a story. Hopper painted his loneliness. Morandi painted the same bottles for 40 years. Your story doesn't need to be dramatic — it needs to be yours. These 4 prompts use AI to interview you, pull your story out, and save it so every caption, bio, and email already knows who you are. In this episode: Why you can't see your own story (and why that's normal) Real artists with "boring" lives who became legends 4 copy-paste prompts to pull your story out How to save your story as a context file Prompt 1 — The Origin Story Interview: I'm an artist and I need help discovering and articulating my story. I want you to interview me — ask me questions one at a time, wait for my answer, then ask a follow-up that digs deeper. Start with how I got into art. Don't accept surface-level answers — if I say "I've always liked drawing," ask me WHEN and WHERE and WHAT I was drawing and WHY. Keep going until you feel like you have enough material to write a compelling origin story. Then write it for me in first person, in a warm conversational tone — not a formal bio. Something I could read on a podcast or put on my website. Keep it under 300 words. Prompt 2 — The "Why This" Interview: Now I want you to interview me about WHY I create what I create. Ask me about my subject matter, my medium, my style. Dig into why I chose these — was it intentional or did I stumble into it? Is there a personal connection to my subjects? Don't let me get away with "I just like it" — help me find the deeper reason. When you have enough, write a short paragraph (150 words max) I can use when someone asks "Why do you paint/photograph [subject]?" Prompt 3 — The Piece Story: I'm going to describe one specific piece of art I've made. I want you to interview me about it — where I was when I made it, what was happening in my life, what I was feeling, why I chose the composition/colors/subject. Then write me a short story (100-150 words) I could use as the caption or description for this piece. Make it personal and specific — not generic art-speak. Prompt 4 — The Bio Generator: Based on everything we've discussed in this conversation, write my artist bio in three versions: 1. ONE SENTENCE — for social media profiles and quick intros. 2. ONE PARAGRAPH — for show applications, website about page, email signatures. 3. FULL PAGE — for press kits, gallery submissions, and detailed about pages. Use a warm, conversational tone. Avoid art-world jargon. Make it sound like ME, not like a museum placard.

Okay, friend, this one came out of nowhere. I just got back from a cruise—senior trip with seven high schoolers—and somewhere between Mexico and deep conversations about critical thinking, something clicked. I spent days journaling about it, testing it, turning it over in my mind. And I knew I had to share it before I overthought it into oblivion. Here's the short version: What if communication isn't actually a skill? What if it's just the visible output of a decision system running underneath…and THAT'S what's broken? This reframe has shifted how I see every team I work with. Every leader who tells me "we need better communication." Every meeting that circles. Every decision that doesn't hold. I'm still testing it. I'm still going deeper. But I wanted to bring you into the conversation now…because I think it's going to change how you see your team, too. Let me know what you think. Seriously. DM me on LinkedIn. I want to hear if this lands the way it landed for me. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why "we need better communication" is the wrong diagnosis The relationship between micro-decisions and every conversation your team has What's actually happening when decisions don't hold and conversations circle The difference between protection mode and ownership mode Why upgrading the decision system naturally upgrades communication Three shifts that move teams from autopilot to intentional The Leadership Pattern to Notice Teams aren't struggling because they don't know HOW to talk. They're making hundreds of micro-decisions in every conversation—how to interpret, how to respond, who owns it, who defers—and those decisions are running on autopilot, driven by whatever the internal system is protecting: approval, control, safety, being right. What leaders see: "We have a communication problem." What's actually happening: A team making fear-based micro-decisions in every conversation. Leadership Noticing "Communication is just decision-making made visible. Change the decision-making, you change the communication." Notice this week: When conversations circle or decisions don't hold, ask yourself—is this a communication issue, or is the team's internal system protecting something that's keeping them from owning the outcome? Concepts Introduced Communication as visible output of the decision system Micro-decisions running on autopilot Protection mode vs. ownership mode The three shifts: unconscious → intentional, protection → ownership, individual dysfunction → team alignment What's Coming Next Tami goes deeper on a related breakthrough: what clarity actually is—and why most teams think they have it when they don't. A new level of understanding that changes how leaders diagnose what's really happening beneath the surface. Final Thought:  The next time someone says your team needs better communication, ask yourself: Do they not know how to talk? Or is something underneath driving dysfunction that no script or framework will fix? If your team keeps having the same conversations, the same meetings, the same conflicts—and communication training hasn't fixed it—let's talk. Tami offers sample sessions of the Aligned Leader Series to get underneath the surface and diagnose what's actually driving the patterns. → DM Tami on LinkedIn (yes, it's really her—not a bot, not a team member) → Book a Aligned Leadership Audit (tamimariecoaching.com/call) l to explore what an upgraded decision system looks like for you and your team Enjoyed the Episode?

Do you struggle to wonder what God's will is for your life?Many of us do.Although it isn't a quick answer, the best way to find God's will for your life is to read His Word. The Bible will tell you the answer to that question.Romans 8:31 tells us, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”Actually, finding God's will isn't the hardest part. Deciding to follow His will is where we get tripped up.People need the skill and discipline of being persistent. Too often, the impulse is to give up and then, if we're honest, pretend that God hasn't revealed His will to us.Good old Abe Lincoln had it right when he said that the only important response is to make sure we are on God's side, not whether He's on ours.God has already told us that He's on our side. He sent His Son, Jesus, to take the penalty for our sin. It doesn't get any more “on our side” than that.Change your thinking a bit. Don't focus on what you think God is supposed to do.Resolve instead to follow God, and do it every day.Let's pray.Lord, your will is the thing that drives us on to find our purpose in life. Thank you for sticking with us. Help us to stick with you. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Transformation isn't a straight line — it's a stretch of uncertainty between letting go of who you were and stepping into who you're becoming.In this episode of Your Courageous Life, Kate explores how to navigate that uncomfortable in-between space — the “messy middle” where old patterns are falling away and new ones haven't fully formed. You'll learn why this stage feels so disorienting, how to stop rushing through it, and how to recognize small signs of growth even when it feels like nothing's changing.If you've been questioning yourself or feeling like you're stuck between chapters, this episode will remind you that confusion isn't failure — it's the bridge to becoming.

Send us a textIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we sit inside one of the most uncomfortable truths of modern life: certainty is gone, and pretending otherwise is quietly draining our stability. We examine how nonstop information, digital volatility, and collective fear reshape the nervous system, distort perception, and weaken emotional grounding. This episode does not offer false reassurance or easy fixes. It names what it actually feels like to live in a world where safety feels conditional, and the future feels unstable.Through a clarity-forward, psychologically grounded lens, we reveal why so many people are dysregulated without realizing it, why resilience is harder than ever, and what it takes to stay anchored without disconnecting from reality.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#291 | Motivation Monday: 3 Simple Conflict Resolution Tools You Need to Know - https://apple.co/4rnXvHP #473 | The Tools You Need to Stop Emotionally Numbing - https://apple.co/46impk3Learn more about:

From the chaos of Burrito League to the hype of the Millrose Games, we bounce between weather-whiplash field reporting, race-culture grievances (selfie sticks, pacers, entitlement), and a very biased Black Canyon 100K preview with picks, storylines, and the important reminder that community is built by showing up, not shouting into the void.Chapters00:00 2026: A Year of Change and Observations02:43 Ranting vs. Solutions: A New Approach05:32 Weather Woes: A Running Perspective07:23 Running Czar: Changes in the Race World10:18 Behind the Scenes: Understanding Race Logistics11:49 Personal Achievements: Racing Stories and Reflections15:12 Bucket List Dreams: Olympic Aspirations17:55 Community Engagement: The Burrito League Experience21:44 Milrose Games: Indoor Track Insights32:54 Racing Dynamics and Athlete Strategies38:54 Emerging Talents and Competitive Landscape43:52 Youth in Sports: Pressure and Performance45:38 The Impact of Betting on Professional Sports49:54 Trail Running: Anticipation for Black Canyon58:00 Golden Ticket Races: Opportunities and Challenges01:03:48 Women's Race Preview: Anticipation and Insights01:06:31 Key Athletes to Watch: Molly Seidel and Tara Dower01:09:37 Emerging Talents: Jade and Shay's Breakout Potential01:14:11 Race Strategies and Turnarounds: Katrina Jennings and Others01:18:54 Marathoners Transitioning to Ultra: Des Linden's Debut01:23:42 Strava Insights: The New Age of Training Analysis01:26:42 Final Thoughts: Predictions and Weekend HighlightsSupport our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

Heart Health Month opens with a powerful, eye-opening conversation on cholesterol, root-cause healing, and whole-person wellness. Dr. Georgia Nabs explore why cholesterol is so misunderstood, the real story behind statins, and how inflammation, blood sugar, liver health, and lifestyle choices all intersect to shape heart health. From functional testing and advanced diagnostics to simple, practical daily shifts, this episode reframes what it truly means to care for your heart. Blending science, compassion, and lived experience, the conversation invites listeners to move beyond fear-based medicine and into empowered, informed, and proactive wellness—where education becomes the foundation for lasting health and vitality.  Key Takeaways:   True heart health begins by understanding root causes, not just managing symptoms or lab numbers.  Cholesterol is more complex than "good" and "bad," and context matters more than fear-based assumptions.  Inflammation, blood sugar balance, and liver health play a central role in cardiovascular wellness.  Empowered patients ask better questions and become active participants in their healing journey.  Sustainable wellness comes from education, consistency, and small daily choices that compound over time.  About Dr. Georgia Nab:  Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas. From 2012 through 2017, she joined a manufacturing facility in Wisconsin to provide chiropractic care, nutritional counseling, and educational training to the employees at the company's corporate headquarters. While there, she authored her book called 1 Degree of Change, in addition to numerous other publications. In 2015, she graduated with her Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine degree. She is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Western States for their masters program. Dr. Nab is a Certified Nutrition Specialist from the Board for Nutrition Specialist and works with Affiliated Monitors, an independent monitoring company for professionals.  Connect with Dr. Georgia Nab at:  https://www.authenticdoc.life/  Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Nobody is going to believe in you as much as you will, know that good things will happen.3. Change is inevitable. Change is going to happen so you can either accept it and keep moving forward or not.Please bet on yourself and go after your dreams because your life can be better than you ever thought it could be if you do

Send us a textWhen you first start a podcast, everything feels exciting! But somewhere around six months in, that feeling can change. Recording starts to feel routine. Metrics feel heavier. Deadlines creep in. And podcasting slowly starts to feel more like work than a creative outlet.We are talking honestly about what happens when podcasting stops being fun, and how to bring that joy back without quitting your show.If you've been feeling stuck, uninspired, or just tired of hitting publish, there are small, realistic shifts that make podcasting feel lighter, more creative, and more sustainable.8 Tips to Make Podcasting More FunStop letting metrics decide whether you're enjoying podcasting. Use stats as feedback, not validation.Find the right amount of pressure for you. Too much kills creativity; too little leads to boredom.Lower the bar when you need to. “Good enough” can keep your show alive during busy seasons.Identify what's draining you and streamline or cut it. Not every task is essential.Play with your format instead of trapping yourself in it. You made the rules and you can change them.Bring your personal interests into the show. Fun increases when the work overlaps with what you love.Change your environment to change your energy. Small physical shifts can unlock creativity.Build community so you're not podcasting alone. Connection makes the work feel worth it.Contact Buzzcast Send us a text message Tweet us at @buzzcastpodcast, @albanbrooke, @kfinn, and @JordanPods Thanks for listening and Keep Podcasting!

Season #5, Episode #4: Living a Life of Surrender in a Culture of Independence:In this episode of Primetime Gamechangers, we dive into what it means to live a life of surrender in a culture obsessed with independence and control. We unpack how the pursuit of security, self-reliance, and “doing me” has quietly replaced trust in God—and why true freedom is found on the other side of surrender. From breaking cycles that affect not just us but future generations, to understanding how our choices, words, and pride shape legacy, this conversation challenges listeners to reevaluate what success really looks like. If you've been holding tightly to your own plans, wrestling with anxiety about the future, or feeling the tension between control and calling, this episode will help you realign your heart, protect your inheritance, and step into a life marked by purpose, obedience, and lasting impact.

What Can Christians Do and Will It Work?   In this episode of the Good Faith Podcast, Curtis Chang and David French name what's happening to American democracy right now: "Dual State America," where life feels normal—until the Trump administration's lawless prerogative power snaps into place. From the Renee Good case to Orwellian spin and rising political violence, they trace how authoritarianism spreads by redefining reality and daring ordinary people not to resist. French's gut-check: stop waiting for someone else to save the country—do something your grandkids will recognize as courage.   02:40 - What Is The "Dual State"? 06:25 - What Does The Renee Good Shooting Show Us? 11:03 - Potential For Resistance and Change 15:32 - The Dangers of Rotating Elected Authoritarians  20:03 - The "Gradually, Then Suddenly" Collapse 24:30 - What Can Individuals Do? 35:31 - The Risk and Uncertainty of Action 37:10 - Embracing Faithfulness Over Effectiveness 47:27 - Christians and The Integrity of Words 47:58 - What Sustains David French?   More about the Religious Landscape Study pewresearch.org/rls   Register for the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter     Mentioned In This Episode: David French: An Old Theory Helps Explain What Happened to Renee Good Ernst Frenkel's The Dual State: A Contribution To The Theory Of Dictatorship (pdf) Ernst Frenkel's Legal Sabotage: Ernst Fraenkel in Hitler's Germany Rev.

Vous sentez que quelque chose en vous a besoin d'évoluer, mais… vous vous sentez bloquée par l'impact que ça pourrait avoir sur votre entourage.Dans cet épisode, je vous parle d'un frein invisible mais très puissant : le sentiment de ne pas être autorisée à changer, surtout quand on anticipe le regard des autres.Changer de travail. Changer de style ou de loisirs. Changer vos priorités, vos limites, votre manière d'être dans vos relations.Ou même changer intérieurement : dans votre confiance en vous, votre audace, votre personnalité.Très souvent, ce qui nous bloque n'est pas le manque de clarté ou de courage, mais cette question sous-jacente :« Est-ce que j'ai le DROIT de devenir une AUTRE version de moi que celle que les autres connaissent ? »Dans cet épisode, on explore ensemble :Ce qui se joue quand vous attendez (sans le savoir) l'autorisation de votre entourageLa différence entre avoir besoin de soutien et demander la permissionComment vous donner à vous-même l'autorisation de changer, sans mettre en péril vos relationsCet épisode s'adresse à vous si vous sentez que vous êtes à l'étroit dans une version de vous-même, mais que vous vous retenez de changer pour ne pas “secouer le cocotier” dans vos relations.Vous avez déjà le droit de changer. La vraie question, c'est : qu'est-ce que ça vous coûterait de ne pas le faire ?

What if the thing holding you back is not confidence, but the feedback you keep avoiding?In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge one of the most popular myths in self-improvement. Real self-worth is not built by feeling good. It is built by doing the work, facing blind spots, and improving what actually matters. Drawing from years of coaching, hard-earned lessons, and thousands of conversations, they explain why comfort-driven advice slows progress and why real growth requires honest mirrors.This is a grounded conversation about responsibility, discipline, and becoming someone who can handle the truth. Press play if you want progress that lasts, not reassurance that fades._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work. Earn the Results. 10 Pounds in 10 Weeks Challenge.

When It All Feels Like Too Much Feeling overwhelmed and uncertain right now?  If the world feels heavier, more unsettled, or harder to process than usual, you're not alone.  When what we thought was stable no longer feels certain, our nervous systems respond with stress, fear, and powerlessness.  These reactions are not personal failings. They're natural biological responses to uncertainty. In this episode, Blake names what so many people are experiencing right now and explains how to cope when everything feels overwhelming. She offers a grounded perspective and practical ways to find calm and perspective in uncertain times, helping you find steadiness and agency when the stress and uncertainty feels like too much.   Episode Highlights Why Everything Feels So Hard Right Now [01:30] - Understanding fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses [03:45] - Why most people are cycling between multiple survival responses [04:30] - How awareness creates self-compassion and clarity Division, Information Overload, and Where Trust Begins [05:20] - The Edelman Trust Barometer [06:16] - Why companies are best positioned to bridge divides [07:00] - Where safety and trust really begin The River Story: A Powerful Metaphor for Uncertain Times [10:15] - The moment of danger that shifted the entire journey [12:30] - When trying to control exhausts us more than the danger itself [14:00] - The shift from panic to presence and strategic action Finding Steadiness in the Middle of Uncertainty [17:45] - What we can control when we can't control the river [19:30] - Why slowing down is strategic, not passive [22:30] - Change as the gift that opens possibility   Powerful Quotes "If you've been feeling unsettled, reactive, angry, exhausted, overwhelmed, numb, or emotionally raw lately, I want to say this first: there's nothing wrong with you." -Blake Schofield "We can't control the level of unrest, division, and challenges that we are under globally, economically, and everything else. The only thing we can control is how we go through it." -Blake Schofield "Change actually is the gift.

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.
