Podcasts about character flaw

Who Are You Really Hiding From?  Have you ever eaten something completely alone? In your car, in a closet, with the door locked, just so nobody would see. And then made sure there was no evidence left behind. If that's you, I want you to know you are so not alone. In this episode, I'm joined by Amber Abila, a binge eating coach and host of the Become a Confident Eater podcast. Amber spent years in her own cycle of restriction and bingeing before she found her way out, and now she helps women understand what their body has actually been trying to tell them this whole time. We talk about why certain foods feel impossible to resist, why even "eating a little healthier" can backfire, and the real reason so many of us hide what we eat. This isn't about willpower. It's about understanding your own body again. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why your brain treats some cravings like an emergency How restriction can quietly set off a binge, even when it doesn't look extreme Why food companies can make a flavor without the nutrition that flavor used to promise The real reason so many women eat in secret A few small ways to start trusting your hunger again Key Takeaway Binge eating is not a character flaw and it is not a willpower problem. It's a habit your brain built to respond to restriction and to a food system that learned how to imitate nutrition without delivering it. The secrecy that comes with it doesn't protect you from judgment. It just means you're the only one judging. The work isn't punishing your body into behaving. It's learning to trust it again. Listen If You've Ever Thought… "Why can't I just be normal around food?" "I'm so tired of thinking about food all the time." "I ate that completely alone so no one would know." "Something must be wrong with me." "I know what to do, so why can't I just do it?"   Learn More About Amber Abila Get instant access to Amber's guided audio to “Stop a Binge Before it Starts” ⁠HERE⁠! https://www.theconfidenteater.org/urge-guest Podcast:  https://www.theconfidenteater.org/podcast Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/theconfidenteater_/ Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/@amberabila Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/amber.abila.77/ Free Support Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/532434625387487/?mibextid=c7yyfP Want More?

We cover: The neuroscience of why catastrophic thinking increases pain The trap of premature reassurance or cognitive correction How to work with rumination, not against it Clinical tools that validate, reframe, and gently open space for possibility With references to predictive processing, the Fear-Avoidance Model, and years of lived experience, this is a compassionate, grounded take for clinicians wanting to do better by their patients.

Love him or despise him, Clinton stood as a colossus in American politics despite his profusion of personal failings, retrograde behaviors, and carnal appetites—which seem almost quaint today. One of the keys to his apparent political success was also his greatest deficit as a person: his ability to compartmentalize.

Welcome to episode 190 with Philippa Dawson, who is a writer, producer and performer who is also the creator of Character Flaw, a show about her experiences with ADHD and how it's impacted her throughout her life. In this episode I chat to Pip about her show, about living with ADHD and how this has impacted her mental health over the years. We chat about the before and after of diagnosis, her experiences with medication and how different aspects of her identity are wrapped up in her ADHD. We also about Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, emotional dysregulation and hyper focus and we chat about dealing with depression, forgetting to eat and going to the Edinburgh Fringe. It was wonderful to chat to Pip about all of this stuff.  Her life and experiences and ADHD all interact in both hilarious and challenging ways and I think a lot of people will relate to that.

On episode 69 of the road.cc Podcast, we delve into the reasons and behavioural patterns that underpin most, if not all, of the 887 (and counting) examples of close passes and dangerous driving that make up our Near Miss of the Day series, aided by a road safety expert currently undertaking a PhD study on the relationship between motorists and cyclists on the road. Will Cubbin, the manager of the Safer Essex Roads Partnership was inspired to dive into academia following an unfortunate encounter with a close passing driver, who lambasted him for being ‘in the middle of the road', Will chats to Ryan about his PhD research and the interesting methodology behind his new co-authored study titled ‘Close passes caught on camera: How knowledge and behavioural norms relate to perceptions of liability when cars overtake cyclists'. In part 2, Ryan and Suvi catch up with road.cc and off.road.cc contributor Matt Page, who is also one of the people behind the sold out Battle of the Beach gravel (and sand, obvs) event that is taking place between the 6-7 April. With UK road racing experiencing numerous struggles and diminishing numbers, are gravel events what is needed to make cycling events in Britain boom again? At the time of broadcast, our listeners can also get a free Hammerhead Heart Rate Monitor with the purchase of a Hammerhead Karoo 2.

For more details on this podcast visit: https://www.journeybeyondweightloss.com/blog/103 Despite the prevalence and growing rates of obesity, many still don't fully understand that weight gain is just one symptom of a much bigger problem. After spending 15 years in Obesity Medicine, I'm here to reiterate this important message: Obesity isn't due to any lack of self-control or moral weakness - it's simply an illness like any other! It is not weak character that causes weight gain; instead, those extra pounds are just one symptom associated with a chronic and complex medical disease. So let's ditch any preconceived notions we may have had previously and focus on treating Obesity as what it really is – a true health issue requiring real solutions.   Episode Highlights: (02:24) On June 18th, 2013, the American Medical Association voted to recognize Obesity as a disease. Weight gain is actually just one symptom of Obesity. Obesity is a dangerous, a life-threatening disease. It kills 320,000 people every year in the United States alone, and it's a disease that needs to be taken seriously. (07:57) With the disease of Obesity, almost everything is out of balance, and we see signs of these imbalances in terms of elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, diabetes, high estrogen states, infertility, weight gain and lots of other issues. And the reason for the weight gain is because there's an error in fat metabolism, that's what causes the weight gain. (10:25) One of the hallmarks of Obesity is inflammation. As a matter of fact, Obesity is a disease of inflammation. It's chronic inflammation, which means that it's long-lasting inflammation and the inflammation is affecting every part of the body, damaging tissues and causing accelerated aging. You could say that inflammation is destroying the body from the inside out.

Whether you know someone who is an over-helper or YOU are one, this episode will prove an important listen. This topic — addicted to helping others — recently came back to the surface for Chalene in a major way. And while she has worked on herself in regard to this issue (including therapy) and has seriously improved over the years… like all flaws, it doesn't just disappear 100% forever. It may just creep back in from time to time — which is why it's imperative to continue to keep ourselves in check.  Today, that's exactly what Chalene intends on doing as she: shares recent examples from her life, varying in intensity, as to her need to help others (often at the expense of her own happiness and productivity), explains the psychology behind this bad habit and offers a checklist that'll help you discern whether or not you are, indeed, an over-helper.

Fear is something that we all deal with from time to time. However, sometimes when fear seems to get a grip on us, we feel like we have failed. When this happens, we are slammed with anxiety and shame, which is absolutely miserable. Today, on the podcast, Dr. Doug Hardy is back to remind us that being fearful is not a character flaw. Instead of trying to push fear aside, God is inviting us to acknowledge it and redirect our focus to God's welcome and embrace. Doug Hardy serves as Professor of Spiritual Formation at Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City, MO where he helps students who are preparing for pastoral ministry to pray as they learn. He is a spiritual director in addition to teaching and leading retreats and pilgrimages. Dr. Hardy is familiar with the complexities of perfectionism in his own life, and now is able to come alongside and encourage others to notice and respond to the God who loves them unconditionally. Doug is married to a hospital chaplain; together they have three grown children. The Foundry Press has published two of his small group studies geared for use in local churches: Christian Disciplines: Creating Time & Space for God (2013) and Prayer: Sharing Intimate Space with God (2015). ------- I always love connecting with you and hearing how the podcasts are making a difference in your pursuit of wholeness!

On this podcast episode of My Job Here Is Done, we tread lightly - sorry, no, we stomp on the heart of - that one thing that always has bugged you … about you. Everybody has one, or two or twelve character flaws. But today, we are going to try to narrow in on just the one biggest flaw. We call it your personal FUBAR or your own SNAFU. It's the one thing that you've ignored, suppressed, denied, or feared all of your adult life. It's holding you back, it won't let you advance, it hurts inside and you might not even know why. In the end, you will need to figure it out someday, and the sooner the better.Ever listen to an old wise person who says something like this to you, “had I known that back then …?” That's the sound of a person who wished they found their SNAFU much earlier.We think your personal SNAFU can be tackled and defeated if we change the game in our favor. Kelli and Dave talk about the exact right point in time to make a change so it sticks and is effective. In the podcast, you'll hear that fixing the SNAFU problem is not about reinventing yourself, or taking a self-improvement class, or even trying to be a better version of yourself. Those are other challenges that can actually be improved on continuously - and you should be improving on them every day,No, the self-owned SNAFU needs proper timing and surgical precision to reverse. Speaking of timing, here are the three break-points we discuss:At the time you change your job positionAt the time you take on a job at a brand new companyAt the time you find yourself dealing with a life eventWe then talk about some common SNAFU's such as fabricating the truth (lying), or purposely creating conflict or having to always have the last word. We offer some suggestions about how to identify your own SNAFU's by reflecting on your past and focusing on changing things you are already aware of that need work. (you know what these things are) Also helpful is asking for feedback from people who know you well, or acting on the feedback that you received in the past and ignored.  Once you figure out the one thing you want to work on, stay on track by checking in with yourself as part of your daily routine, identify if you were successful and congratulate yourself, and take pride in your progress.  At the end of the day, you likely know exactly what you'd like to change but you resist for some reason, and usually that reason is that it's not the right time to make a visible or palpable change. Take advantage of those few times when you DO have that opportunity and work on just one thing, the BIG thing you've always wished you could change.  You'll be glad you did and so will everyone else around you.Visit the My Job Here Is Done website to learn more, contact us, and sign-up for very infrequent non-spammy tidbits by email if you'd like.Thanks for listening!Dave and Kelli

This topic has been something I'm dealing with in real-time lately. Here is what I get into in this one: - All the BS around assigning moral value to food and medication. - Struggling to understand why simple adult tasks were so damn hard for me - Feeling like a failure as a mom, wife, and person in general because I "should" just be able to do what everyone else around me was doing - Issues with feeding myself and with food-related things in general - Executive Function and how it plays into everyday life for someone with ADHD - There is nothing wrong with me or with you if you struggle with everyday life and "simple" tasks - My brain is just different and I need different tools to succeed.

What's good, My Former Nice People!” this is Osei Daniels, hosting our next Kindness Speaks!. Welcome Back! Excited to share with you these life changing principles about Kindness! It is great to back! This Podcast #9 of Kindness Speaks! TODAY'S POWER QUOTE: “Character is BOTH how you treat others and yourself with kindness” Today's Topic is: 3 Reasons why Being Nice is a character flaw Just like a when we get a crack in our windshield, the longer we go without getting it fixed, the worse it gets, making driving difficult for you and to others by being a hazard on the road! The same way that Being Nice is a character flaw. We cannot allow it to continue! Points to Cover are: 1. Being Nice is a Subtle Form of Manipulation 1. I'm F.I.N.E, its Ok, 2. Using Flattery to get what you want 2. Truth is Avoided 1. Examples: Doing a poor job at work, recipe for dinner didn't workout, someone 2. Not wanting to share the truth because we don't want to hurt the other person's feelings 3. Little White Lies…“is a well-intentioned untruth” 1. In our Upcoming Webinar, we're going to break down HOW To share potentially harmful ‘truths' to others in a kind way 3. Being Nice stifles maturity and growth and leaves everyone the exact same 1. When we do not want to BE part of the solution, then we leave others lacking of the needed truth, that they only hear well from YOU! 2. The truth is supposed to set us free! I'm not saying we IGNORE people's feelings and we must develop a stronger discernment for WHEN to share things, and this takes practice but I'd rather us tell each other, friends and family, the truth, so someone outside our home doesn't have to! I have a New Years Challenge for everyone that is listening to this. I have created 12 Kindness Personal Affirmations that I believe will help us set the tone for us personally, to focus on determined self improvement and dynamic character development! Go to KindnessDefined.com and sign up for next week's webinar, and I'll send you the PDF for free! I'll also be summarizing these 12 Affirmations beginning tomorrow morning, on instagram, follow us there @kindnessdefined Thanks for listening. NEW YEARS BLESSINGS to you and yours for 2021 and remember: NICE PEOPLE DO FINISH LAST BUT KIND ONES RISE TO THE TOP! Let's Go!

We talk about can you have confidence without trust and as well how trust affects the relationships around us.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:     The self-love, self-acceptance, and self-actualization movement is a good thing. However, unless we can tell the difference between what is a true personality trait versus what is a character flaw, we run the risk of causing harm to or being harmed by others. It's quite common in today's climate for people to claim that a particular character flaw is in fact a virtue, or part of their essential self. This created a lot of confusion and turmoil in relationships, and disrupts our ability or willingness to work on our true character defects. QUESTIONS OR TOPIC REQUESTS? If you have a question or a specific writing related topic that you would like Zena to consider addressing in a future podcast, click on one of the links below to leave a voicemail recording for Zena.https://missionranchfilms.comhttps://www.speakpipe.com/ZenaDellLowe DOWNLOAD TRANSCRIPTS?Zena is currently working on making the transcripts for these podcast episodes available for download on the Mission Ranch Films website.
