Podcasts about Change

What if the reason you're not moving forward isn't what you're missing, but what you keep holding on to? Change doesn't happen because you add more to your life. It happens when you finally remove the habits that drain your time, your energy and your momentum.  In this solo episode, I break down the seven patterns that stop high performers from moving forward, even when they think they're doing everything right. These questions come up constantly, and the truth behind them is the same. Waiting is a trap, negative energy slows you down, comfort blocks growth, complaining keeps you stuck in place. If you feel like you're pushing hard but not getting anywhere, this episode will show you exactly what to cut. These are simple shifts, but they change everything. Tune in and take notes. What we discuss: (00:49) Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck (01:41) How negative people drain your creativity and momentum (02:26) Comfort that feels good now but blocks real growth (03:32) Complaining vs ownership and what actually moves you forward (04:07) Failure as feedback and the mindset shift that stops the quitting cycle (04:40) When saying yes becomes self-sabotage and how to break the pattern (05:41) Consuming before creating and why it kills your voice and momentum Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE40 for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and Dr. Erica Howe discuss:  How successful women get so isolated  How to come back after a failed friendship  How communities of strangers can be the place to find your true connection "When I am struggling, my default is to withdraw. But it is only when I reach out and am vulnerable with my friends that true healing can begin." - Dr. Erica Howe  Dr. Howe is a board-certified Hospitalist and a nationally known educator, wife, and mother to three crazy kids.  As a prolific speaker and lifelong advocate for improved wellness in medicine, she has given hundreds of talks both nationally and internationally on topics like conflict management and boundary setting.  In 2018, she founded the Women Physicians Wellness Conference in Aruba, Grand Cayman, and Amelia Island exclusively for women physicians.  Then, in 2024, she founded the Women Professionals Wellness Conference –a 3-day event in the Bahamas each January--as a way to bring women from various demanding professions together to share their struggles and their strategies for success.

That question sat at the heart of my conversation with Bret Kinsella, recorded while he was in Las Vegas for CES and preparing to step onto the AI stage. Bret brings a rare combination of long-term perspective and hands-on experience. As General Manager of Fuel iX at TELUS Digital, he operates generative AI systems at a scale most enterprises never see, processing trillions of tokens and delivering measurable business outcomes for global organizations. That vantage point gives him a clear view of both the promise of generative AI and the uncomfortable truths many teams are still avoiding. In this episode, we unpack why generative AI breaks so many of the assumptions security teams have relied on for decades. Bret explains why these systems are probabilistic rather than deterministic, and how that single shift creates what he calls an unbounded attack surface. Users are no longer limited to predefined buttons or workflows, and outputs are no longer constrained to a fixed database. The same prompt can succeed or fail depending on subtle changes, which makes single-pass testing and checkbox compliance dangerously misleading. If you have ever wondered why an AI system feels safe one day and unpredictable the next, this conversation offers a grounded explanation. We also explore why focusing on the model alone misses the real risk. Bret makes a strong case that the model is only one part of a much larger system shaped by system prompts, connected data sources, tools, and guardrails. Change any one of those elements and behavior shifts. This is why automated, continuous red teaming has become unavoidable. Bret shares how Telus Digital's Fortify AI attack model uncovered hundreds of vulnerabilities in hours, far beyond what human teams could realistically surface on their own. Yet automation is not the end of the story. The final decisions still depend on people who understand context, trade-offs, and business impact. Throughout the discussion, we return to a simple but uncomfortable idea. AI safety is not something you bolt on after deployment. It demands a different mindset, broader testing, repeated validation, and ongoing human judgment. For leaders moving from experimentation to real-world deployment, this episode is a clear-eyed look at what responsible progress actually requires. So, as more organizations rush to deploy agents and autonomous systems in 2026, are we truly prepared for software that learns, adapts, and occasionally surprises us, and what does that mean for how you test and trust AI inside your own business?

We have so much information about health, our bodies, and what will make us feel better, coming at us from every direction. If you're ready to finally hear the truth, this episode is for you. Today, host Heather Creekmore welcomes coaching client Tephanie, and Compared to Who? team member, Christian body image coach, Tara, for a moving conversation about finding real freedom from body image struggles. This episode dives into what it’s really like to join the 40-day Body Image Journey, take the next step into group coaching, and experience transformative, Christ-centered growth alongside women in all stages of life. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Tephanie’s Story: Tephanie courageously shares how body image issues impacted her life for years—from feeling like the “heavier friend” as a child, to trying diets after marriage, and always believing thinness was the key to worth and happiness. The Power of Community: Listen as Tephanie describes overcoming her fears about group coaching, opening up in a safe space, and discovering that she wasn’t alone in her struggles. What Coaching Looks Like: Coach Tara explains how every woman shows up nervous, but together they create a sacred, honest place where transformation happens. Lasting Change: Tephanie reflects on how the journey shifted her mindset—from constant comparison and shame, to living with gratitude and serving as a positive role model for her family. Behind the Scenes: You’ll also get a peek into the structure of the coaching programs (the 40-day journey, Body Image Freedom Framework, Attunement Reset), how each builds on the last, and the real “magic” that’s only possible through Christ-centered community. Key Takeaways: There is no “magic formula” for body image freedom—true peace comes from seeing yourself as God sees you. You’re not alone; women of every age and stage struggle with body image, but healing happens in safe, supportive community. Change is possible, even if you’ve felt stuck for years—the journey may be ongoing, but God’s freedom is real and available for you, too.

If one of your goals for the year is to stop overreacting, it is time to adopt the Holy Pause. Have you found yourself overreacting when all that was necessary was a simple, rational response? It happens to all of us because of automatic negative thoughts, also known as negativity bias. Something happens, or someone says something, and our brain determines it to be a threat; our nervous system is activated, and we overreact. This is why a pause is crucial if you want to stop overreacting. Why are you overreacting? The first step to stop overreacting is recognizing when it happens. Answer these questions: Negativity Bias (automatic negative thoughts) If any of the above are true, your brain is going to automatically think and feel something negative. We call this negativity bias. Your brain is more likely to think something negative than to think everything is fine and you are safe. In fact, 80% of your thoughts are negative. So, if you are someone who tends to overreact, realize you are not alone and there is a reason for it. However, it is not okay to accept it and not attempt to change and be better. Generational Patterns of Overreacting Perhaps you've experienced generational patterns of overreacting. Do you have family members whom you witnessed overreacting and from whom you learned this behavior? If anxiety is part of your genetic makeup or the genetic makeup of your parents or grandparents, chances are you experienced negative reactions much of your life. But as I've said before, anxiety is not an excuse for poor choices and overreacting. There is damage from overreacting. The power of a Holy Pause. If you want to change, the first step is to become aware of what is happening before overreacting. Awareness is crucial to using the Holy Pause. How is change possible? You can stop overreacting. Change is possible when you start renewing your mind. To understand where to begin to renew your mind, you must recognize that the mind is separate from your brain. Your brain is miraculously capable of changing, growing, and being retrained; we call this neuroplasticity. It is not stagnant or stuck. It is dynamic, and when you renew your mind, you gain power over your neuropathways. Scripture and renewal of the mind. In Romans 12:2, Paul tells us not to conform to the world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. When we renew our mind and release the negative, we can rebuild our emotional state by training the prefrontal cortex (the executive function center) to take charge rather than succumbing to the fight-or-flight response triggered by the amygdala (the fear center).

Are you protecting yourself, or sabotaging your potential?In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge the habit of playing not to lose and explain why waiting, hoping, and “being patient” often mask fear. Built on their real-world experience, coaching data, and long-term pattern recognition, they unpack the psychology behind rejection, avoidance, and misplaced consistency. This is a focused conversation on offense, ownership, and why progress accelerates when action is intentional and aligned with the goal. No hype. No motivation talk. Just clear thinking, performance principles, and hard-earned perspective. Listen carefully. Then choose whether you keep defending where you are, or earn what's next._______________________Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

Happy New Year from The Chris Moyles show…we're back for 2026, hope you didn't miss us too much!It's been a very busy first week back, with five incredible guests AND we welcomed our brand new Executive Producer Alan… sorry, Aaron!World-leading hypnotist, broadcaster and author Paul McKenna was in to chat about revamping his book ‘Change your life in 7 days' and reminisced about the time he convinced Chris' mate that the number 7 didn't exist! Totally normal behaviour, obviously.Mystic legend and friend of the show Clinton Baptiste was back to share his wild and wacky predictions for 2026. The good news? The team survives the year. Probably.Jake Humphrey also popped in to talk about his latest book ‘Micro Habits: Tiny Changes That Supercharge High Performance', filling the studio with positivity and motivation for the new year.Boxing legend Prince Naseem Hamed flew into the studio on a flying carpet like the good old days…. Okay maybe not quite, but we wish he had! He joined Chris and the team to chat about new Boxing biopic ‘Giant', and that time he knocked his opponent out in just 17 seconds.And if pop culture is your thing, Josh Widdicombe joined us to talk about his brand-new podcast — notably hosted without Rob Beckett. We're still checking he's allowed to do that.What a busy week! But it doesn't stop there…Dom's letter to Man UtdChris and Dom cancel school (and work)Dom on Peppa PigEnjoy!The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X!Weekdays 6:30am - 10am

We look for things and stuff to make us happy, don't we? Especially in the United States, where we are blessed with abundance, people from all walks of life look for more and more.That can bring us to an empty place. Spiritually and emotionally…we begin to look in the wrong places. But as we've discussed this week, that spark of joy we look for can be found only in Jesus. Everything else is, yes, clutter.John 16:24 says, “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.”This plays out over and over every day. We see this in dramatic ways when a famous person turns from materialism and empty fame and finds Jesus. Someone like that who has experienced uncommon wealth, comes to a place where Jesus must be dealt with.How about you? Are you tired of your empty pursuits? Has the excitement over a new career or a new car worn off? If you're listening and nodding, or maybe you're not even sure, do this today: tell Jesus what's in your heart and what's in your mind. He said to ask.Ask.Receive His joy. Then you'll be complete. You will be uncluttered.He's literally waiting for you to sit down and tell Him all about it.Let's pray. Lord, refresh us and renew us. Clean our hearts and minds. We know you can and will. We receive that! In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

What if we came to see the hardest moments in our lives as a chance to reimagine who we can be? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Maya Shankar, cognitive scientist and author of the new book The Other Side of Change, to unpack how we can reframe change when life makes other plans.

 In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros examine how leaders and high performers decide what they are willing to see and what they prefer to avoid. Filtering reality can feel like focus or protection, but over time, it influences judgment, confidence, and the quality of decisions being made. Grounded in real client conversations, business experience, and thousands of long-form discussions, this episode explores how people handle uncomfortable information under pressure. The emphasis is not on mindset slogans or motivation, but on awareness, discipline, and long-term consistency. Listen carefully. Then ask yourself whether clarity is driving your choices, or whether comfort is quietly doing the work for you.Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

ABOUT POLAR WARPOLAR WAR: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic by Kenneth R. Rosen (January 6, 2026/$29.00 hardcover) offers a blend of travelogue and frontline reporting that reveals how climate change, military ambition, and economic opportunity are transforming the Arctic into the epicenter of a new cold war in which the planet's great powers are struggling for dominance.Russian spies. Nuclear submarines. Sabotaged pipelines. Undersea communications severed in the dark of night. The fastest-warming place on earth-where apartment buildings, hospitals, and homes crumble daily as permafrost melts and villages get washed away by rising seas-the Arctic stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and environmental catastrophe. As climate change thaws the northern latitudes, opening once ice-bound shipping lanes and access to natural resources, the world's military powers are rushing to stake their claims in this increasingly strategic region. We've entered a new cold war-and every day it grows hotter.In POLAR WAR, Rosen takes readers on an extraordinary journey across the changing face of the far north. Through intimate portraits of scientists, soldiers, and Indigenous community leaders representing the interests of twenty-one countries across four continents, he witnesses firsthand how rising temperatures and growing tensions are reshaping life above and below the Arctic Circle. He finds himself on the trail of Navy SEALs training for arctic warfare, embarks on Coast Guard patrols monitoring Russian incursions, participates in close-quarter-combat training aboard foreign icebreakers in the Arctic sea ice, and visits remote research stations where international cooperation is giving way to espionage and the search for long-frozen biological weapons.POLAR WAR concludes with a prescriptive Appendix, "Reigning in the Arctic," in which Rosen elucidates "several definite and immediate steps American lawmakers and the current presidential administration must take to not only advance our national security in the arctic but also preserve the region for generations to come."Drawing on hundreds of interviews and three years of reporting from the frontlines of climate change and great power competition, Rosen's deeply researched and personal accounts capture the diverse landscapes, people, and conflicted interests that define this complex northern region. The result is both an elegy for a vanishing landscape and an urgent warning about how the race for Arctic dominance could spark the next global conflict.ABOUT KENNETH R. ROSENKenneth R. Rosen is the recipient of a Kurt Schork Award in International Journalism and the Bayeux-Calvados Award for War Correspondents, a two-time finalist for the Livingston Award for his work in Syria and Iraq, and an Ira A.

As humans, we tend to have a problem asking for help. I think we can chalk that up to our proud hearts. Often, when we are really up against it, that's when we resist seeking help.Jesus does away with all that.Matthew 7:7, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”Ask yourself: is my pride keeping me from asking for help? If so, mull that over. And then, take a step toward the Lord and ask for what you need.God opens doors when we ask Him to. And sometimes what we find on the other side isn't what we expected. When that happens, we choose patience. And we remain open to His good plans for us.When you've asked God to help, and prayers are answered, share the Good News with people you meet. Tell anyone who will listen that the Lord of the universe cared about you and delivered you from a problem no one else could solve.And if the answer He gave was totally unexpected and sent you in a different direction—share that, too! Accepting God's plan when it doesn't match up with our own best-laid plans is what faith is all about. Let's pray. Lord, please give us a heart that seeks you. God, we want to be obedient, and we know that your blessings, whatever they look like, will follow. Thank you. In Jesus' name, amen.  Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Send us a textThe quiet habit behind better choices. In today's episode, we share why reading has been one of the most powerful forces shaping how we see ourselves and make decisions. We talk about how books influence judgment, expand awareness, and pull people out of autopilot living without requiring drastic life changes. This episode is for anyone who wants clearer thinking, stronger choices, and a deeper sense of control over their direction. Nothing complicated. Nothing fluffy. Just a grounded conversation about how what you read quietly rewires how you live. Pick up one book, open one page, and let that choice redirect your future.Episode Reference: (Research study - to follow)Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#403 | The Truth About Motivation Nobody Likes to Talk About - https://apple.co/45DPfeg #436 | How to Heal When You Don't Have Support - https://apple.co/4r0TTw1Learn more about:

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge one of the most repeated ideas in personal development and expose why it quietly derails long-term success. One philosophy prioritizes pressure, risk, and rapid growth. The other protects consistency, identity, and sustainability. Both have merit. Both carry costs. Drawing from years of coaching patterns and thousands of conversations, this episode forces an honest look at how people actually grow, burn out, or compound results over time.This conversation is not about motivation or hype. It is about self-belief, risk tolerance, performance psychology, and knowing how much weight you can carry without breaking trust with yourself. Listen carefully. Then decide what kind of pressure you are willing to earn, and what kind of future you are willing to protect.Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

It's interesting to watch the outcomes of people who refuse to give in to fear.Many years ago, while America was going through a severe economic depression and a world war, President Roosevelt told Americans that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.Those listening over the radio said later that they felt a great sense of relief just from his words!Psalm 23:4 tells us, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”Our country emerged from a very scary time to become a people determined to embrace the future. Those who survived those dark days were known as the Greatest Generation. And they were, because they decided giving in to fear was not an option. It was a simple choice, honestly. They gritted their teeth and went to work. And prayed like never before.As individuals, we face our own depression and our own wars. And any of us can be overwhelmed by the life-altering decisions we must make. Doing all of that while living in fear is very unsustainable.The Psalmist clearly understood that God would rescue him, and the words that he wrote about it were words of life.Let's pray.Lord, you are great, and your love for us is the only thing that should overwhelm us. 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.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, host Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with Rhett Power, CEO and co-founder of Accountability, Inc., to discuss his groundbreaking new book "Head of Metals: How Leaders Silence Negative Self-Talk and Transform How They Lead." In this raw and powerful conversation, Rhett reveals why self-talk is the most ignored driver of leadership performance and shares practical strategies for managing the mental noise that kills focus, concentration, and culture. From the 3 C's of the Maverick Method to the "plutonium problem" of toxic narratives, this episode delivers actionable insights for leaders ready to reclaim control over their inner voice and build championship teams. Episode Highlights: [2:10] The Seven-Year Journey to Head of Metals - Rhett shares the intensive process of writing Head of Metals with co-authors Ryan Gottfredson and Dr. Susie Burkin, including seven rewrites over seven years. He reveals how the book unexpectedly helped a surgeon's teenage sons prepare for exams, proving that self-talk mastery transcends age and profession. [14:57] The Three C's: Catch, Challenge, Change - Rhett breaks down the simple but powerful framework for managing self-talk: Catch it (notice harmful narratives), Challenge it (question if it's true, useful, or even yours), and Change it (replace destructive narratives with grounded thinking). He provides a practical exercise: write down your negative narratives and track them with check marks to identify patterns. [16:38] The Plutonium Problem: When Leader Self-Talk Infects Teams - Discover why negative self-talk is like plutonium—toxic, powerful, and invisible. Rhett explains how leaders' mental narratives leak into their teams, creating radioactive thinking that destroys engagement, retention, and performance. He shares a powerful story of a CEO who discovered his assistant triggered unresolved childhood issues with his mother. [26:15] AI as a Leadership Mirror - Rhett discusses his involvement in developing an AI coaching platform that provides real-time data to help coaches and leaders identify blind spots. He compares it to film study in sports—giving leaders instant replay of their performance to make fewer unforced errors and exploit opportunities for growth. Rhett Power is the CEO and co-founder of Accountability, Inc., where he helps leaders break limits, make bold decisions, and drive growth. Recognized as a global guru of top management thinkers and a Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coach, Rhett is the bestselling author of "The Entrepreneur's Book of Actions" and the newly released "Head of Metals." He co-hosts "Bestseller Live" on Apple TV and is a regular contributor to Forbes, Inc., and CNBC. With decades of experience coaching executives and entrepreneurs worldwide, Rhett brings practical, science-backed strategies to help leaders silence negative self-talk and transform organizational culture.

Constitution to Collectivism: Mamdani and the Road to Venezuela traces the slow, deliberate transformation of the United States from a constitutional republic built on individual liberty into a society increasingly shaped by collectivist ideology. Beginning with the New Deal era, the episode examines how emergency powers, federal expansion, and welfare-state policies permanently altered the relationship between citizens and the government. What was once sold as temporary relief became a permanent structure. Over decades, dependency replaced self-reliance, bureaucracy replaced local authority, and central planning crept quietly into everyday life. The podcast then turns to the present moment, where a new generation of political figures and activists no longer conceal their ideological goals. Through public statements, policy positions, and ideological alignment, the episode argues that figures like Zohran Mamdani and Katie Wilson represent an open embrace of democratic socialism as the next phase of this long march. Finally, the episode draws a cautionary comparison to Venezuela, not as a rhetorical scare tactic, but as a documented case study of how collectivist policies dismantle free markets, collapse economies, and consolidate power in the state. The warning is clear: nations do not fall all at once. They decline by degrees, by good intentions, and by the steady normalization of government control.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comWebsite: thefacthunter.comFact Hunter Radio is now available on the App Store for iPhoneShow Notes:We can arrest a foreign leader over him allegedly owning guns. https://x.com/barnes_law/status/2007507184662278313?s=46&t=ytitK_qmWZMvJd0lLKbt- Brilliant from jamiekaler!

Change doesn't knock politely. It shows up fast, disrupts your identity, and forces you to question what's next even when you thought you'd finally “made it.” In this episode, I sit down with Jason Feifer, Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine to break down why change feels so destabilizing and how to move through it without panic, paralysis, or clinging to the past. Jason shares the 4 phases everyone experiences during change, why panic is normal (even for high performers), and how to reframe disruption as opportunity instead of loss. Get ready to stop fearing change and start building for tomorrow. In This Episode You Will Learn Why PANIC is the first (and normal) response to change. The 4 phases of CHANGE and how to move through them faster. How to reframe CHANGE as gain instead of loss. Questions that help you regain CONTROL during uncertainty. How to separate your IDENTITY from your title, role, or output. How to define WHO you are in a way that can't be taken away. How to reframe failure as DATA instead of a dead end.

Change is difficult. Our routines can feel locked in, our habits on autopilot, and the idea of a major lifestyle overhaul can seem impossible.  However, Rich Roll is living proof that this isn't the case. Once struggling with addiction and poor health, he transformed his diet, rebuilt his body, and completely rewrote his future. In today's conversation, Tim Spector and Rich Roll discuss why midlife is a crucial turning point for health, what happens to your microbiome when you change your diet, and why it's never too late to make a dramatic shift.

In this insightful episode, Stuart Blade unpacks the power of the Commitment to Change—a practical tool designed to help individuals and couples experience real transformation in their recovery and spiritual growth. He explains what a Commitment to Change is, who it's for, and how it can move people from good intentions to lasting change. Drawing from years of experience leading and supervising groups, Stuart shares common mistakes people make when setting commitments and the key habits that help them find traction. He also offers encouragement for those who feel stuck, showing how this weekly rhythm can support larger life goals. Whether you're starting the new year with renewed motivation or looking to deepen your recovery journey, this episode will help you make meaningful, sustainable progress—one intentional step at a time.Resources:Download The Commitment To Change GET STARTEDFree eBook: 7 Keys To Understanding Betrayal TraumaFree eBook: 5 Steps to Freedom From PornSchedule Your Free 15-Minute Counseling ConsultationJoin A Pure Desire Online Group SOCIALSFollow us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramFollow us on X (Twitter) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Success costs more than people are willing to admit. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan challenge a widely accepted belief that quietly limits growth, consistency, and long-term results. They explore what happens when ambition meets reality and why real progress demands clear decisions instead of comforting narratives. This episode speaks to those who take personal development seriously. It centers on discipline, self-respect, and the often-ignored cost of avoiding hard trade-offs. The focus is not on motivation or inspiration, but on clarity, standards, and sustainability over time. Listen with intention. Then decide which commitments you are willing to honor when no one is watching.Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

Welcome to 2026, and a VERY different kind of January! This episode kicks off the year by NOT feeding into the loud, exhausting “new year, new me” noise that dominates the fitness space every.single.January. Instead, we're starting where real change actually begins: self-trust.Here's the uncomfortable truth most people won't say out loud - new year motivation doesn't work. It's emotional, seasonal, and creates a false high that feels productive without requiring real action. January hype convinces you you're changing before you actually do anything. January isn't magical - nothing changes just because the calendar flips. Change only happens when YOU do!It's not about trying harder this year - it's about becoming the woman who follows through because it's who she is. This month isn't just a reset - it's the beginning of how you show up for yourself going forward! Episode recap:Why the “new year energy” creates a false highRealizing that January isn't magicalRepeatedly starting over isn't a motivation issue, but a self-trust issueWhy January goals are based on who you WISH you were7 things that actually create consistency4 action steps to help you move away from the “new year, new me” conceptWhat you can expect for the rest of this January seriesLinks/Resources:Grab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Get in control of your life and use your time to build a life of purpose. We have been sold a myth of heroic solutions. Where a single dazzling act will change who we are. But real change is quiet, methodical, and often boring. As a result many people lack agency waiting for some heroic reinvention. This episode explores the architecture of a "Deep Life," a four-month process of reclaiming your sovereignty from the noise of the industrial complex. We stop asking "what do I feel like doing?" and start asking "what kind of life do I want to live?" By strictly curtailing obligations and automating the mundane, we create breathing room. This space allows us to move from being busy to being remarkable. The goal isn't to fit more in; it is to design a life that is unique, specific, and yours. The Code vs. The Decision: How to write a personal operating system that saves you from decision fatigue. Moving from "Yearning" to "Project": How to operationalize your dreams into a 6-week vision phase.

"Sales is an outcome, not a goal. It's a function of doing numerous things right." – Jill Konrath Check Out These Highlights:  I love how this quote blends the dynamics of selling through service with AI to personalize our approach to meeting clients' needs more quickly and with greater precision.

Long gone are the days of using index cards and Pendaflex folders for my follow-up.  Change is good when we leverage it to save time and deliver better results.  Now more than ever, salespeople need to do numerous things correctly, including being well-versed in AI use throughout their entire sales process.  About Artem Koren: Artem is the Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Sembly AI, a leading platform that transforms conversations into actionable intelligence for teams.

"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong."― N.R.

In this episode of Culture of Change, Ashe in America and Jackie Espada examine the accelerating push toward collectivism and what it means for property rights, individual liberty, and the future of America. The conversation opens with New York's embrace of “shared equity” and the broader implications of redefining property as a collective good. From there, the discussion moves into the role of propaganda, screens, and media in shaping public perception, including a prescient look at how television and digital media condition behavior and suppress critical thinking. The hosts also dig into the NGO industrial complex, exposing how massive funding pipelines often benefit institutions more than the people they claim to serve, both domestically and abroad. Along the way, they explore cultural decay, recycled art, and the loss of genuine creativity in a hyper-mediated world, while offering a hopeful vision for renewal rooted in discernment, sovereignty, and personal responsibility. The episode closes on the idea that recognizing the real enemy is the first step toward meaningful change.

Kristi Henderson invented telehealth at the University of Mississippi Medical Center decades before anyone thought healthcare needed it. While her colleagues were optimizing traditional clinic workflows, Kristi was asking a different question: What if geography didn't dictate healthcare access? By the time the pandemic forced everyone else to figure out virtual care overnight, she'd already spent two decades perfecting it. What makes her approach distinctive isn't just her track record at Amazon, Ascension, and Optum. It's that she worked every level of the healthcare system for 24 years before reaching the C-suite. She understands frontline friction because she lived it. At Amazon, Kristi discovered a framework that changed everything: one-way doors versus two-way doors. Some decisions are irreversible and demand precision. Others are experiments where failure means pivoting fast. That distinction became her playbook for tackling problems most leaders won't touch. But her most counterintuitive move? When she became CEO of Confluent Health, her first hire wasn't a CFO or COO. It was a leader for internal communications. Because brilliant transformation plans fail without deliberate stakeholder engagement. Change happens at the speed of trust. Now Kristi is betting on something that sounds almost naively optimistic: that AI will finally give clinicians their time back by eliminating friction, not replacing human connection. She uses AI daily as her "sidekick" and is building an organization where technology supercharges what only humans can do. Key Takeaways: Why Kristi kept raising her hand for jobs no one else wanted and how taking the hardest assignments became her competitive advantage The Amazon framework that changed everything: one-way doors versus two-way doors, and how to know which type of decision you're making What "change happens at the speed of trust" actually means in practice when you're transforming organizations Kristi's "reverse innovation" approach: why bottoms-up transformation consistently outperforms top-down mandates The counterintuitive first hire Kristi made as CEO, and why communication infrastructure matters more than most leaders realize How to handle naysayers strategically instead of avoiding them or trying to convince them Why Kristi believes the workforce crisis isn't permanent if leaders focus on the right problem The specific ways Kristi uses AI daily as a CEO, and why she sees it as the key to bringing joy back to clinical practice About the Guest Kristi Henderson, DNP, is CEO of Confluent Health, a family of physical therapy and occupational therapy companies. She spent the first 24 years of her career as a practicing nurse practitioner before pioneering telehealth at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, long before the pandemic made it mainstream. Kristi has since led digital transformation at Ascension Health, built clinical operations for Amazon Care, and served as CEO of Optum Everycare. She's Board Chair of the American Telemedicine Association and affiliate faculty at Dell Medical School and the University of Washington School of Nursing. Her career has been defined by raising her hand for challenges others declined and building tech-enabled care models that improve outcomes while reducing clinician burden.

Today is the deadline for candidate filings in the state of Wisconsin. To break down the races in this busy election year, host Dana Pellebon speaks with three powerhouse local journalists, Christina Lieffring, Enjoyiana Nururdin, and Faye Parks.  There was a general sense of surprise and excitement at the number of contested races. Nururdin says that she's noticed more people wanting to be active at the local level, including with the school board and Dane County Board. And Parks has noticed people getting engaged on topics like housing, school referendums, and other issues that affect their daily lives. Lieffring says that when things are going well, people tend to ignore local government, but things aren't going well right now.  Change is on the horizon in the city of Madison as a number of Common Council seats are up for grabs as the city adjusts to its new staggered terms. And in Dane County there are more unopposed races. Nururdin wants to see more debate and constituent feedback about Dane County Board positions, but this is challenging because newsrooms struggle to devote a lot of time and energy to smaller races, says Lieffring. The Governor's race may be the hottest line on the ballot with a large primary field of Democratic candidates but only two Republican contenders. Nururdin says that people want to see candidates who are active in the community, not just at press opportunities. And Lieffring wants to see the candidates go beyond political slogans.  Christina Lieffring is Tone Madison's Managing Editor, a free-wheelin' freelancer, and lifelong Midwesterner. Enjoyiana Nururdin is a Madisonian and the local government reporter at the Cap Times Newspaper where she covers the ins and outs of City Hall and politics in Dane County. A graduate of UW-Madison’s School of Journalism and Columbia University in New York, Enjoyiana brings experience covering homelessness, government transparency and uplifting community voices in her work.

Get full show notes at www.consciousedge.com/ep088 When you avoid a hard conversation, it doesn't just disappear. It silently taxes your time, your energy, and your momentum. In this episode, we explore how expanding your relational capacity can completely transform how you lead and communicate. I'm joined by real estate investor and client Sandra McEwan, a former pharmacist who rebuilt her career after inheriting her father's properties and diving head-first into investing. She recently faced a conversation she'd been avoiding for months.  What unfolded on the other side wasn't conflict but clarity, relief, and renewed trust. If you've been carrying the weight of a conversation you don't want to have, this episode will show you how grounded, compassionate leadership creates connection instead of rupture.

"Change me first." Those three simple words changed everything for me. As we kick off Season 5 of the Dominate Your Day podcast, I want to share my own story. I had outward success—a respected career, titles, and accomplishments that looked great on paper—but felt empty on the inside. People-pleasing, fixing, and performing leadership left me exhausted and disconnected from who I really was. In this episode, you'll hear how learning to focus on what I could actually control sparked an internal revolution, restored my marriage, reshaped my leadership, and led to the creation of the Authentic Imprint™ formula. I also share what's ahead for the podcast as we enter our fifth year and why this next season will go deeper into real-life transformation stories. Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Change starts with me. Lasting transformation doesn't come from fixing others or circumstances it begins when I take responsibility for what's happening inside me.  2. Emotional recognition is the multiplier. Strengths, values, and mission only work when paired with emotional recognition the ability to notice and name what's happening inside you before it drives your behavior.  3. You don't need to be more productive you need to be more you. Alignment, not achievement, is the key to sustainable leadership. When you lead from the inside out, transformation ripples through your life, your relationships, and your organization.  Episode Minutes: Minute 3: The Drama Triangle and Circle of Control Minute 6: Discovering Authentic Leadership Minute 9: The Authentic Imprint Formula Resources from This Episode: Take the free 3-minute Authentic Imprint™ Assessment Get a copy of The Internal Revolution: Lead Authentically and Build Your Personal Brand from Within Plan your days by actively using your strengths with The Strengths Journal™ Book a 30-minute discovery call to discuss your executive and team development needs
