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.

In this episode, Michele explores a powerful but often overlooked distinction that can make or break any meaningful change: strategy vs. tactics.Inspired by a coaching conversation with a client struggling through Veganuary, this episode unpacks why caring deeply—and even making a strong values-based decision—is often not enough to create consistent follow-through.Whether your goal is moving in a vegan or plant-based direction, improving your health, writing a book, changing your drinking, or following through on any important intention, this episode will help you identify what might be missing—and how to make change feel lighter instead of heavier.In this episode, you'll learn:The difference between strategy (the “why” and identity-level decision) and tactics (the real-life actions that create movement)Why many smart, motivated people feel like they keep “restarting”—and why it's not a motivation problemHow having strategy without tactics leads to exhaustion and self-blameWhy tactics without strategy often feel brittle, artificial, or short-livedHow writer Steven Pressfield's work on “Resistance” offers a powerful parallel for vegan and lifestyle changeWhy support and accountability are tactics, not strategies—and how to tell if support is actually helpingWhat “good accountability” sounds like (and what it doesn't)How routines, defaults, and reflection can help you stay engaged when life gets loudMentioned in this episode:The War of Art by Steven PressfieldThe concept of “Resistance” and the idea of “turning pro”Veganuary and values-based changeStrategy and tactics as transferable skills for any life transitionListener reflection:Ask yourself:Do I have a strategy without tactics?Or tactics without strategy?Where might support or reflection make this change lighter instead of heavier?Subscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

You asked, we're answering. In this listener Q&A episode, Amber and Carolyn tackle the hard questions GTM leaders are wrestling with behind closed doors…from broken attribution models to navigating organizational resistance when you're trying to drive real change.In this episode:Real talk on entrepreneurship: the wins, the loneliness, and knowing when to walk awayNavigating organizational resistance when you're championing changeWhy being in the top 5% of GTM leaders means accepting you're always pushing uphillWhy first-touch and last-touch attribution keep haunting you (and how to finally escape)How to get executive buy-in when everyone's comfortable with the status quoWhy deals from different sources have wildly different ACVs and win ratesThe systematic reality of revenue generation, and why singular attribution models completely miss itThis isn't surface-level advice. Amber and Carolyn are in the trenches daily with CROs, CMOs and RevOps leaders, rearchitecting go-to-market strategies and challenging sacred cows. We're bringing real examples to this convo, honest reflections about entrepreneurship, and zero sugarcoating about what separates companies that evolve from those that don't.Keep sending your questions. We want to hear your hot takes, especially if you disagree with what we're saying.

In this episode, we break patient outcomes down into a simple but powerful formula:Patient Outcomes = Skill × TimeYou need:The skill to understand what's actually driving someone's symptomsAnd the time for healing, behavior change, tissue adaptation, relationship-building, and clinical reasoning to unfoldMiss either one — and outcomes suffer.We talk about:Why outcomes can't be separated from both clinician skill and available timeHow testing your hypotheses requires both technical ability and space to observe changeWhy healing, strength, and behavior change don't happen on insurance-driven timelinesHow different practice models dramatically affect the “time” variableThis conversation was sparked by recent rhetoric criticizing cash-based care — and instead of taking the bait, we zoomed out and asked a better question:What actually creates great outcomes?This episode sets the foundation for future discussions about systems, incentives, and why clinicians often feel frustrated despite doing their best work.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:You've been waiting for your child to say they're ready to get help. You've imagined that conversation a thousand times, rehearsed what you'll say, held your breath every time they seem close to opening up. But what happens if that moment arrives and you're under-prepared? What if that precious window closes before you even realize it was open?In this solo episode, I'm diving into a CRAFT procedure that often gets reduced to logistics when it's actually about something far more potent: the intersection where your child's desperation meets their willingness, and your preparation. I'm unpacking two elements that I believe parents consistently overlook. The first is understanding that this intersection requires a third component—your readiness. The second challenges who we define as the "identified patient" in this entire scenario, because if your child is the only one getting help while the rest of your family ecosystem stays static, you're essentially working to preserve the exact conditions that contributed to their struggle in the first place.This isn't easy work, but it's the kind that can reshape not just your relationship with your struggling child, but every relationship in your life. And you don't have to figure it out alone at three in the morning with Google and ChatGPT as your only companion.You'll learn:Why the magical intersection of desperation and willingness requires a third element that many parents missHow to prepare in the background so you're not scrambling when your child finally says they're ready for helpWhy your child shouldn't be the only "identified patient" and what your own version of treatment needs to look likeThe difference between rescuing your child from discomfort and allowing natural consequences that can actually motivate changeWhy obsessing over daily minutiae (dishes, grades, laundry) is often a distraction from the deeper internal work you need to be doingThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly picks up where last week's conversation on the Fresh Start Effect left off and explores what happens in the brain after motivation fades. Using neuroscience and behavior change research, she explains why January 8 is often the point where people assume they have failed, even though this is actually the phase where real change begins.Molly breaks down why most New Year's intentions are abandoned by mid-January and reframes this not as a lack of discipline, but as a misunderstanding of how the brain works. She explains the difference between motivation and follow-through, the role of dopamine, and why the brain naturally resists energy-intensive new behaviors. The episode focuses on how to create conditions that support consistency without relying on willpower.What You'll LearnWhy most New Year's resolutions are abandoned by mid-JanuaryHow the Fresh Start Effect creates motivation but not sustainabilityThe difference between motivation and follow-through in the brainThe role of dopamine in anticipation versus long-term changeWhy habits live in different brain circuits than goalsHow the brain prioritizes energy conservationWhy resistance and friction are expected during behavior changeHow follow-through builds self-trust over timeKey Concepts ExplainedFresh Start Effect as a motivational sparkDopamine and why motivation naturally fadesPrefrontal cortex as the center of planning and intentionBasal ganglia and its role in habit automationEnergy conservation as a primary function of the lower brainFollow-through as infrastructure, not enthusiasmPractical Principles Shared in the EpisodeReduce decisions to conserve cognitive energyAnchor new behaviors to existing routines through habit stackingShrink behaviors to reduce resistance and threatExpect friction as part of learning, not failureBuild evidence through repetition rather than relying on excitementKey TakeawaysMotivation fading does not mean you are behindFollow-through begins when excitement endsConsistency during low motivation is what rewires the brainSmall steps repeated over time create sustainable changeSelf-trust is built through evidence, not intentionRelated Think Thursday EpisodesThe Myth of the Fresh Start BrainConsistency: The Brain's Super PowerThe Iterative Mindset and Behavior ChangeBelief Echoes and Why Change Feels HardUnbreakable Habits and the Voice That Keeps Them Alive ★ Support this podcast ★

It's the first full week of the new year — and if Dry January is on your mind, than this episode is for you. In this solo episode, Molly shares insights from her current Mostly Dry January program and explains why your month doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful. You'll learn what the science says about cutting back (even partially), how to rewire your drinking habits using positive reinforcement, and why “mostly dry” is more than enough.If you're ready to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and start building real momentum with your relationship with alcohol, this episode will help you do it — one small decision at a time. In This Episode:Why “failing” Dry January doesn't mean starting overWhat research says about partial reductions in alcoholThe real reason willpower isn't working — and what to try insteadHow to use temptation bundling to feel good about changeWhy moderation isn't an excuse — it's a skillResources & Links:Download the Temptation Bundling Worksheet Create alcohol-free routines that feel good — not forced.  Download the PDFExplore Drink-Less Success A 30-day neuroscience-based support system for peaceful drinking habits.  Start Drink-Less SuccessTry the Sunnyside App (15-day free trial) Molly's top recommendation for mindful drink tracking.  Join SunnysideLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. 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. Glenn and his wife Phyllis get vulnerable about their year of burnout, chronic pain, and the pivotal moments that changed everything. Tera Wages guides them through a reflection process that goes beyond surface-level goal-setting to create real, lasting transformation.You'll discover:The "Monday Mindset" approach to fresh starts that actually creates changeWhy your high pain tolerance is keeping you stuck (and how to recognize it)The year-end reflection framework: what went well, what didn't, and what to do about itHow to stop the cycle of ignoring pain and hoping things will "just get better"The difference between processing pain and managing pain (one leads to breakthrough, one leads to burnout)Why "letting bygones be bygones" guarantees you'll repeat the same patterns in 2026How to identify what to replicate vs. what to eliminate as you enter the new yearKey Topics: New Year goals, fresh starts, emotional health, mental health, marriage counseling, burnout recovery, chronic pain management, year-end reflection, goal setting, emotional intelligence, relationship coaching, leadership development, self-care, mental wellness, therapy tools, emotional processing, work-life balance, New Year's resolutions alternativePowerful Moments:Glenn opens up about barely celebrating the holidays a year ago due to burnout—and where he is todayPhyllis shares her journey from standing at the Grand Canyon unable to walk to reclaiming her body and futureThe "hot stove competition" analogy that will change how you view pain tolerance foreverWhy Echo's confrontation became the catalyst for Phyllis's transformationThe truth about psycholation (psychological isolation) and why "don't air your dirty laundry" is destroying usHow Connection Codes is expanding in 2026 with the School of Connection and more in-person eventsThe Framework:Look backward - What went well?

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.

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

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.

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:

The BNPL world just changed — and if you're a merchant, you're not as safe from it as you think.The CFPB's new Buy Now, Pay Later regulations are aimed at BNPL providers, but the fallout will hit sellers next.

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:
