So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Happy Mindset Monday!If your New Year habits don't stick, it doesn't mean you failed.It means the approach needs to change.In this solo episode of Living The Sweet Life, I break down why most habits fall apart after the initial motivation fades—and what actually helps habits last.This episode isn't about pushing harder. It's about building habits that align with who you are and how you live.

If you've done the mindset work, built the awareness, and still feel pulled back into anxiety or overdrive, this episode will make sense of what's happening.Because most of the time, it's not your thoughts that are the problem.It's the subconscious beliefs driving them.In this conversation, I'm joined by Tim Shurr, a master hypnotist with decades of experience helping high-achievers release the beliefs underneath anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism. We talk about why so many patterns persist despite years of mindset work, talk therapy, or self-awareness — and how hypnosis works at the level where real change actually happens.This episode demystifies hypnosis, explains why it can create rapid and lasting shifts, and explores how unconscious beliefs formed early in life continue to shape our stress responses as adults.In this episode, we cover:Why subconscious beliefs drive burnout, anxiety, and perfectionismHow unconscious “life rules” get installed and shape behaviorWhy talk therapy can feel like managing symptoms instead of changing patternsWhat hypnosis actually is and how it creates rapid changeWhy worthiness is often the core belief underneath overachievementHow people-pleasing and perfectionism are stress responses, not personality traitsWhy old patterns return — and how to reinforce real, lasting changeIf you're a high-achiever who has done the work, read the books, tried the tools — and still feels like something invisible keeps pulling you back into the same loops — this episode will help you understand what's really happening and show you a new way forward.Press play if you're ready to stop managing symptoms and start changing the beliefs running your life.Related Episodes:Previous EpisodeAre You High or Low Energy?

Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing — or so we're told. But what if the price of winning is your relationships, your integrity, and your ability to live with yourself when the lights go out? In this episode, Kellan Fluckiger breaks the silence around the invisible bill behind success and challenges you to face the cost you've been avoiding.The hidden, invisible cost of winningWhy money is never the real priceThe relationship cost behind successMissed moments that can never be recoveredIntegrity, compromise, and ethical erosionWearing masks and image managementRedefining winning as relationships and wholenessForgiveness, awareness, and personal changeWhy you can't out-earn being untrueChoosing purpose, prosperity, and joy without self-betrayal

If New Year's resolutions have never worked for you...especially after divorce, it's not because you lack discipline, motivation, or follow-through.It's because the version of you who survived divorce is not wired to safely become the woman you're trying to create.After divorce, most women try to change their lives by changing their behavior.But behavior never sticks when the nervous system doesn't feel safe expanding.In this New Year's Day episode, we break down why resolutions fail specifically after divorce—and what actually creates change instead.We talk about:Why “New Year, New You” language backfires on a nervous system shaped by lossHow inherited roles, survival strategies, and emotional suppression block capacityThe real reason desire alone isn't enough to create changeWhy your brain will offer a thousand excuses—and why that doesn't mean you're failingWhat permission has to do with confidence, worthiness, and follow-throughYou'll be guided through a powerful journaling exercise we call the New Year Permission Slip—not focused on what you want, but on who you're willing to become to receive it.Because the woman who calls in a fuller life after divorce:has more capacityfeels safer being seentrusts herself more deeplyand no longer abandons herself to stay comfortableAnd she doesn't arrive by accident.

What if the secret to actually starting fresh in 2026 isn't about making better resolutions—but about stopping to process what 2025 is trying to tell you?In this transformative year-end episode, marriage and family therapist Dr. Glenn Hill shares why he loves Mondays, New Year's, and fresh starts—and the framework that makes them actually work.

Kevin Driscoll spent years gaining and losing the same 40 pounds.​Hard training. Hard partying. Restriction. Bingeing. Repeat.But it wasn't because of a lack of discipline — it was a lack of identity.In this episode, Kevin and I unpack how he finally stepped off the dieting roller coaster and into what he calls The Goldilocks Zone — that sweet, sustainable middle ground where fitness supports your life without taking it over.We talk about the real reason most people can't stay consistent: it's not the food or the plan. It's the story you keep telling yourself.“I have no discipline.”“I'm broken.”“I always screw this up.”Kevin explains how identity becomes the ceiling — and how to raise it, one small action at a time.If you've ever flipped from “clean eating” to chaos, or punished yourself with workouts to “make up” for food, this one hits home.We get into:Kevin's own story of binge/restrict and emotional eatingHow identity and self-talk shape long-term successWhy “just be more disciplined” is trash adviceThe power of neutral thinking for chronic dietersHow to break the shame loop around foodKevin's 3-phase coaching model: Foundation → Fat Loss → FreedomWhy perfection is the enemy of real changeWhy coaches need to stop moralizing foodThe Baby Bear Zone: finding a middle ground that actually worksKevin's new challenge: HYROX training and rebuilding a healthy identityFind Kevin on Instagram: @kpd.fit

In this solo wrap-up of Building Unbreakable Brands, Meghan Lynch shares the two forces that quietly shaped every room she entered this year: identity and intention. From farm offices to boardrooms, generational businesses faced growing pressure, but those that navigated change with clarity weren't the ones pushing hardest. They were the ones willing to pause.Through client stories and conversations from the past year, Meghan explores what happens when companies stop clinging to the past and start asking: Who are we now? and What are we choosing to create on purpose?If your company is entering a transition, wrestling with succession, or trying to reconnect to its culture or market, this episode will help you find a steadier starting point.Key Topics DiscussedWhy identity is the foundation of every generational brand, and what happens when it gets fuzzyA story of one CEO who reframed legacy and unlocked bold strategyThe hidden cost of unclear vision on teams and cultureHow intention, not speed, differentiates successful changeWhy “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast” is the mindset leaders need heading into 2026Reflection Questions to ConsiderWhat part of your company's identity feels unsettled right now, and why?Where are you reacting? Where might intentional slowing down help you go further, faster?If this episode sparked a conversation you want to explore, reach out to us.

Send us a textFor your Free Masterclass Gift - Click HereWhy do intelligent, self-aware people still feel stuck - even when they're motivated, capable, and trying hard to change?In this episode, Dr Amen Kaur explores the science -  why “starting over” often backfires - and why real change isn't a motivation or planning problem, but a nervous system and safety problem.Using neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, we break down how the brain responds to uncertainty. When the future feels unclear, the brain doesn't default to wisdom or creativity - it defaults to prediction and threat reduction. This is why overthinking, overplanning, and constant problem-solving can actually increase stuckness instead of resolving it.We unpack key scientific concepts including:Intolerance of uncertainty and how it drives anxiety, hesitation, and avoidanceThreat perception (amygdala activation) and why change can feel dangerous even when it's logicalRumination loops and why repetitive thinking narrows perception and optionsReward prediction and why the brain can underestimate the benefits of changeWhy familiar stress can feel safer than unfamiliar peaceThis episode explains why you can't outthink a conditioned system - and why clarity doesn't come from analysing more, but from restoring safety and regulation.As the system settles, perception widens. When perception widens, new options become visible. And when the body feels safe enough, action stops feeling forced - and starts feeling obvious.This is not a motivational reset or a “new year, new you” conversation. It's a grounded, science-backed explanation of why you were never broken - and how embodiment, not effort, is what brings you back online.If you've been trying to force clarity, restart your life, or plan your way into change - this episode offers a different path: one that meets the mind with logic, and the body with safety.

The Christmas I Chose HappyChristmas can be magical.It can also be painfully loud, lonely, emotional, and heavy with expectation.In this very special Christmas Eve episode, Heather shares a quiet, honest story about the Christmas she spent completely on her own — and why it became one of the most meaningful Christmases of her life.This isn't a story about pretending loneliness doesn't hurt.It's a story about choice.Heather explores how consciously choosing peace over pressure, presence over performance, and self-kindness over “shoulds” transformed a day that could have felt empty into a genuine gift.Through simple, sensory moments — long baths, dogs, books, favourite films, unplugging from the world — this episode gently challenges the belief that being alone at Christmas is something to be feared or fixed.Whether you're spending Christmas on your own, surrounded by people, or somewhere in between, this episode offers permission to slow down, soften, and choose what truly feels nourishing.✨ In this episode, you'll hear about:Why loneliness doesn't automatically mean sadnessHow choice can transform even the most emotionally loaded daysLetting go of Christmas pressure, expectation, and comparisonCreating peace without needing anyone else to changeWhy choosing happy is often quiet, intentional, and deeply personalChapters:00:19 - A Real Christmas Story00:50 - Choosing Happiness at Christmas02:26 - Finding Peace in Solitude03:15 - Rewriting the Narrative of Christmas04:05 - A Gentle Christmas Invitation04:57 - Reflections on Christmas and Choosing Happiness

January 1st doesn't change anything until you change something.Every year people say “New year, new me”, set big goals, feel motivated… and then fall right back into the same patterns. This isn't a discipline problem. It's not laziness. It's psychology.In this video, we break down:Why motivation fades in 24–48 hoursThe science behind why goals feel good before you do the workWhy most resolutions die before January 3rdHow identity, habits, and environment actually create changeWhy the calendar flipping doesn't mean your patterns changedThis isn't hype.This is about understanding how your brain works, why you sabotage progress, and what actually leads to consistency in your life, business, health, and habits.You don't need a fresh start.You need a new identity.Our Sponsors:* Check out ClickUp and use my code SOCIALPROOF for a great deal: https://www.clickup.com* Check out Incogni: https://incogni.com/socialproof* Check out NordProtect: https://nordprotect.com/socialproof* Check out Northwest Registered Agent and use my code socialprooffree for a great deal: https://northwestregisteredagent.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Revisited Episode (Recorded April 2021)A Tribute to Lea MilliganThis revisited episode of Purposely is shared as a tribute to Lea Milligan, who passed away unexpectedly in April 2024.From Purposely host Mark LongbottomBefore returning to this conversation, I wanted to pause and honour someone truly special. I first met Lea in London in 2016 when he was working at Mercy Ships UK, and I was at the St James's Place Foundation. He reached out in a fundraising role, but it quickly became clear that Lea was far more than that - a phenomenal relationship-builder, a deeply human leader, and someone you always enjoyed talking with. He was a natural connector of people, with an unwavering focus on mission and purpose.Lea would go on to become an impressive leader in the mental health sector, serving as CEO of MQ Mental Health Research. News of his passing came as a real shock, and with great sadness. Re-sharing this conversation feels like a meaningful way to honour his impact and leadership.In this episode, Lea shares:The mission of MQ Mental Health Research and why it was establishedWhy mental health research remains chronically underfunded compared to other health areasThe parallels between the journey of cancer research and where mental health research is todayThe role of stigma in slowing progress — and why research is the first step toward real system changeWhy research may not deliver quick returns, but offers extraordinary long-term impactThis conversation captures Lea's clarity of thought, humility, and deep commitment to improving mental health outcomes globally.

In this episode, Patrick takes you behind the scenes of what his coaching sessions actually look like, and why reflection plays such a powerful role when rethinking alcohol.Most men are changing more than they realise. The problem is, those changes are often subtle, easy to miss, and rarely recognised as progress. Through real coaching examples and simple explanations, Patrick shows how reflection helps you notice what's already shifting, how your brain learns through evidence, and why small changes matter far more than dramatic moments.If you've ever felt like you're not making progress despite doing things differently, this episode will help you see what's really happening and how to build momentum without forcing it.What you'll learn in this episode:Why the start of a coaching session matters more than most people realiseHow reflection pulls you out of autopilot and into awarenessWhy change often shows up quietly in language, reactions, and what feels normalHow noticing small differences gives your brain the evidence it needs to changeWhy reflection helps change stick without overthinking or pressureKey takeaway:Change doesn't usually arrive as a big moment. It shows up in ordinary places. Reflection is how you learn to spot it, reinforce it, and let your brain catch up with who you're becoming.Reflection questions from the episode:What did I do, say, or think this week that would have surprised the old version of me?What felt a little easier or more normal this week compared to before?Where did I respond differently this week than I would have in the past, even in a small way?Mentioned in this episode:Atomic Habits by James ClearDisrupt Your Life Register Interest here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patrickjfox.com/disrupt-your-life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Patrick:Discover how coaching can support your goals in rethinking alcohol.

In this episode, we talk to Mordy Gottlieb, a men's therapist whose work - and life - has been shaped by one quiet, corrosive belief: “Whatever I do, it's never enough.”Mordy shares how perfection became his survival strategy as a child and how striving without self-compassion led to years of numbing, self-criticism, and chasing relief through behaviours that slowly escalated rather than resolved the pain.What makes this conversation different is its honesty about how these patterns actually form, starting with food, moving into pornography and other forms of escape, and eventually colliding with midlife reality when effort stops working, and avoidance stops providing relief.Rather than framing men's behaviours as addictions or failures, Mordy explains them as attempts to regulate unbearable internal pressure and why insight alone rarely changes anything. The real shift, he argues, comes through experience, practice, and safe connection, especially with other men.This episode also challenges some uncomfortable truths: why being “strong” often means being emotionally absent, why vulnerability isn't just talking, and why many men feel unseen even inside long-term relationships they've spent years sustaining.In this episode, you'll hear about:How the belief “I'm never enough” gets wired into boys early onWhy perfectionism feels productive but leads to exhaustion and shameHow numbing behaviours escalate quietly over timeWhy midlife is often the moment men can't outrun themselves anymoreThe limits of talk therapy and why knowing why isn't the same as changingHow experiential therapy helps men rehearse real-world changeWhy men often heal faster in groups than one-to-oneWhat vulnerability actually looks like in daily life (including learning to say no)Small, realistic ways to introduce play, presence, and self-permission back into lifeWhy this episode matters: Because if you've ever felt that no matter how much you give  - at work, at home, in relationships - it's still not enough, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar. Mordy doesn't offer fixes or slogans. He offers language for something many men have lived with for decades without naming.To find out more Mordy, visit his website: www.thegamechangergroup.com.

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down one of the most valuable — and rare — abilities in leadership: strategic thinking.Most people react. Few people think. Strategic thinking is the discipline of stepping back, seeing the whole picture, and identifying what really matters so you can make decisions that have lasting impact, not just short-term comfort.Garrett shares how this mindset has been one of his greatest assets and how learning to zoom in and out of problems changes your performance in every area of life. Nick dives into the practical tools for developing this skill, from managing your time and asking better questions to practicing reverse stress testing — simplifying until it's not true.If you want to stop living reactively and start leading intentionally, this episode will teach you how to think at a higher level. In This Episode You'll Learn:What strategic thinking really means and why it's essential for leadershipThe 3 questions strategic thinkers always ask:Where are we? – Developing awareness and reality-based evaluationWhere are we going? – Defining purpose and directionWhat matters most right now? – Prioritizing for maximum impactHow to zoom in and out to gain clarity under pressureThe art of simplifying until it's not true — breaking complexity down without losing truthThe difference between planning and plans — how to adapt when things changeWhy imagination and evaluation are the hidden engines of great leadershipSign up for the 2026 New Year's Day Ice Bath event hereGet the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

If you've ever felt yourself clenching your way through life - micromanaging every detail, obsessing over getting it “right,” trying to predict every possible outcome so nothing feels scary or uncertain - you already know how exhausting the grip of control can be.It feels like you're holding everything together… while quietly falling apart inside. You don't trust yourself, others or the world around you. And yet, letting go?That somehow feels even scarier.In this episode, we're unpacking that push-pull dynamic - the part of you that wants more peace and freedom, and the part of you that's terrified to release the reins.You'll hear the real story of a moment that shoved me right into the heart of my own control patterns, and the unexpected experience that finally helped me soften, surrender, and trust myself in a deeper way.Together, we'll dive into it:The hidden link between perfectionism, anxiety, food obsession, and the need to controlHow your nervous system decides what feels “safe” and why it resists changeWhy you default to micromanaging food, your body, or your routineThe breathwork moment that cracked something open for meSmall, low-stakes ways to practice letting go in everyday lifeLetting go isn't one dramatic leap.It's a series of tiny releases.And those small shifts slowly rewrite everything.I hope this episode brings you the permission, compassion, and practical tools you've been needing.If it resonates, send it to someone who also lives in “hyper-vigilant, must-hold-it-all-together” mode.

Hello lovely, and welcome back to Fly to Freedom.In this episode, I'm opening up about one of the hardest, most confusing, and least-talked-about parts of eating disorder recovery: oedema (fluid retention).For 18 months, I experienced painful swelling in my legs, belly, hands, and face – and not a single professional warned me it could happen. It was frightening, uncomfortable, and made me feel like I was somehow doing recovery “wrong.”If you've been there too, you'll know the shame and panic that can come with not recognising your own body in the mirror. But I want you to know this: oedema is not failure. It's healing.In this episode, I share:What edema actually is and why it happens in recoveryThe physical and emotional symptoms nobody tells you aboutWhy some people get it severely and others don'tHow rest, nourishment, and trust are essential to support your body through itWhy fighting swelling often makes it worseHow edema can help with the fear of weight gain by forcing you to face changeWhy fluid retention is a sign of your body's deep intelligence and protectionEdema might feel overwhelming, but it's your body repairing, rebuilding, and reclaiming its health. You are not broken – you are healing.

What happens when your personal evolution begins to stretch the space between you and your partner? In this deeply honest and compassionate conversation, Emily sits down with feminist marriage coach Maggie Reyes to explore what she calls The Growth Gap, the tension that arises when one partner is actively growing, healing, or awakening, while the other clings to what feels safe, familiar, or expected.Together, they unpack how to navigate seasons of self-discovery, faith shifts, and identity work without losing connection or abandoning yourself. Maggie introduces her signature “Power of One” philosophy, rooted in systems theory, which teaches that when one person in a relationship changes, the entire dynamic begins to shift. Through humor, real-life stories, and grounded examples, she offers practical tools for honoring your transformation while creating deeper intimacy, even when your partner isn't “doing the work.”They discuss what it means to “go first,” how to recognize the difference between fear and disrespect, and how to communicate your growth in ways that invite curiosity instead of defensiveness. Maggie also shares powerful re-frames around resentment, compassion, and the myth that both partners must grow at the same pace or in the same way.Whether you're deconstructing long-held beliefs, exploring new layers of yourself, or simply feeling the growing pains of change within your relationship, this conversation is a breath of relief and a roadmap for love that expands instead of contracts.In this episode, we explore:What The Growth Gap is and why it happens when one partner evolves and the other resists changeHow to honor your personal growth without abandoning your relationship or yourselfMaggie's “Power of One” framework and how one person's transformation can shift the entire relationshipThe myth that partners must grow at the same pace (and what actually sustains long-term connection)How to communicate your insights and new awareness without triggering defensivenessThe difference between fear, indifference, and contempt, and how to know which you're facingWhat to do when your growth brings up tension around faith, identity, or worldview differencesThe mindset of “I go first” and why it's key for creating healthy changeWhy curiosity, consent, and compassion are essential for meaningful conversationsHow to know when growth differences are workable, and when they signal deeper misalignmentBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Maggie:Download The Growth Gap Workshop, a free resource for when you're evolving and your partner isn't on the same pathListen to The Marriage Life Coach PodcastExplore her self-study program, The Marriage Mindset MakeoverLearn about Private CoachingCheck out her bestselling book, Questions for Couples JournalFollow on Instagram: @themaggiereyesVisit her website: maggiereyes.comConnect with Emily:Website:

A Hospital Without Walls: Redefining Healing with Dr. Ross EllenhornGuest: Dr. Ross Ellenhorn, CEO of EllenhornWebsite: https://www.ellenhorn.comIn this thought-provoking episode of Linda's Corner, we're joined by Dr. Ross Ellenhorn—pioneering psychiatrist, sociologist, and CEO of Ellenhorn—to explore a radical reimagining of mental health care. Dr. Ellenhorn has created what he calls a “hospital without walls,” offering community-integrated services that honor autonomy, human dignity, and the healing power of social support.Together, we dive into threat assessment theory, which views life's difficulties as either challenges or threats—and how that perspective shifts based on the resources we believe we have. Many people avoid looking inward because it feels like a threat, not a challenge. But when we are surrounded by supportive relationships and people who believe in us, our self-efficacy grows. We begin to say, “I can do this.”Key Topics Discussed:The dangers of the “fix-it” model in psychological careWhy true healing requires respecting a person's autonomyThe importance of collaborative relationships in creating changeWhy change is a choice—and how people resist it because staying the same feels saferThe role of social support in helping people want to changeUnderstanding the fear of hope and how it's really the fear of disappointmentMoving from “What's wrong with me?” to “What happened to me?”Why depression is not a trait, but a temporary state that can be changedHow treating people with respect and viewing them as the experts of their own lives creates the conditions for transformationDr. Ellenhorn's work challenges traditional models and invites us into a more compassionate, empowering approach to mental health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in healing, hope, and human potential.Connect with Dr. Ross Ellenhorn:

Feeling like your old identity is falling away, but the new one isn't fully formed yet? You're not alone—you're right on time. In this enlightening and incredibly timely episode, Samantha is joined by expert astrologer Alicia to give you the ultimate "cheat code" for navigating the massive energetic shifts of 2025. They dive deep into why this year is so pivotal, with multiple generational planets changing signs, and what the current Virgo-Pisces eclipse season is asking of all of us: to SURRENDER.This conversation is your guide to understanding the cosmic forces at play. Alicia breaks down the powerful themes of this eclipse season—releasing the lower vibrations of Virgo (perfectionism, self-criticism, over-complication) and stepping into the high-frequency energy of Pisces (compassion, spirituality, one-consciousness). They discuss why these astrological shifts are perfectly aligned with the collective's move toward a new paradigm of leadership, the "flattening of structures," and the rise of the "New Earth."
