Podcasts about chasing

The last time we spoke to Luke Lamperti was two years ago, when he was just starting out as a WorldTour neo-pro with Quick-Step. This year, he's switched to EF and has already racked up some impressive finishes. In fact, Payson ran into him just a day after he got back from snagging two top 10s at opening weekend of the Belgian Classics. Luke sat down with Payson to give the inside scoop on those races, as well as the carnage that was last year's rider market, where he turns for marginal gains, and which side quest races he's eyeing this year. Check out the Osprey Transporter Duffel 40 for all your travel needs. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

In this episode of the Chasing Giants Podcast, Don Higgins and Terry Peer dive into several important topics for whitetail hunters and land managers. First, they explain the strategy behind permission properties and why now is the perfect time of year to start knocking on doors. Don shares how persistence and building relationships with landowners can unlock incredible hunting opportunities—even in states where you don't live. Next, Don and Terry explain the story behind Scrape Magnet, the new synthetic scent product developed under the Chasing Giants brand. They discuss the two-year process of testing the product across 9 states and 54 properties, how rope scrapes work, and why synthetic scents may become increasingly important as more states restrict gland-based scents due to CWD regulations. The episode also features a candid discussion about health and diet changes both hosts have made recently. Don shares how eliminating carbs dramatically improved his health after experiencing severe symptoms related to inflammation and blood pressure. Terry talks about his battle with rheumatoid arthritis and how a strict carnivore diet helped eliminate pain and inflammation. Finally, the Higgins Hot Seat returns with listener questions covering topics such as: - Managing mature bucks on small properties - Typical vs. non-typical racks - How much to practice shooting your bow - Girdling vs. cutting trees for bedding cover - Planting soybeans for deer food plots - Establishing Nutri-Crave corn plots If you're passionate about deer hunting, habitat improvement, and land management, this episode is packed with practical insight.

What does it take to pursue an acting career in Hollywood and leave behind the familiarity of a small-town life? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with actor, writer, and producer Nate Mayes to explore the personal journey behind building a creative life in Los Angeles. Originally from Arkansas, Nate grew up surrounded by creativity — painting, storytelling, and exploring different forms of artistic expression. But it wasn't until a simple moment while painting a mural in Los Angeles that something shifted. Someone asked a question that stuck with him: why not pursue acting seriously? Soon after graduating college, Nate packed up his belongings, left behind his small-town community, and moved to Los Angeles to build a career in film. Since then, he has been steadily developing his craft — acting, writing, and producing independent projects while learning what it means to bring characters to life in authentic and meaningful ways. This conversation isn't about Hollywood fame. It's about creativity. It's about courage. It's about what happens when you decide to follow the path that feels aligned with who you are.

After graduating from Harding University, Nate made the bold decision to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film and storytelling.

Passionate about character-driven storytelling, Nate focuses on portraying complex, authentic characters and exploring the emotional depth behind every role he plays.

Why do people stop chasing their dreams even when they once believed in them?In this episode, Kevin and Alan explore the real reason most people quit long before success arrives. It is rarely about effort. Belief fades. Expectations collide with reality. Uncertainty begins to outweigh the goal. Through years of entrepreneurship, coaching, and thousands of podcast episodes, they have watched the same pattern repeat. The people who keep going approach belief differently. They understand the uncomfortable space between starting and succeeding.Press play and confront the moment most people turn back._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work.

Many clinicians leave graduate school with strong foundational skills but very little guidance on how to shape their professional path. Over time, therapists begin to notice patterns in their work—certain populations, problems, or clinical questions that keep showing up in the therapy room. The question is what to do with those patterns. In this episode, Paul Wagner and Ray Christner explore how clinicians develop areas of focus in their practice. They discuss the difference between chasing trends and building a thoughtful specialty, how real clinical needs often reveal themselves through repeated client concerns, and why personal fit matters just as much as professional opportunity. The conversation also highlights the importance of curiosity, ongoing reading, mentorship, and honest self-reflection when deciding where to grow professionally. Listeners will hear examples from leaders in the field who built unique niches by combining emerging needs with their own interests and strengths. Whether you are early in your career or rethinking the direction of your practice, this episode offers a practical framework for deciding where to invest your time, training, and energy.Upcoming Live Webinars:(1 Credit) Same Symptoms, Different Stories: Differentiating Neurodevelopmental and Emotional Disorders- 03/27/2026 08:00 AM EST(https://learn.psychedtopractice.com/course/same-symptoms-different-stories-differentiating-neurodevelopmental-and-emotional-disorders)(3 Credits) Using AI Tools for Research and Practice- 04/14/2026 3:00 PM EST(https://learn.psychedtopractice.com/course/live-using-ai-tools-for-research-and-practice)(1 Credit) Automate-Then-Audit: Building Sustainable Systems for ADHD Success- 04/17/2026 12:00 PM EST(https://learn.psychedtopractice.com/course/automate-then-audit-building-sustainable-systems-for-adhd-success)Brightminds AdPAR Ad This episode is brought to you by PAR.

You'd expect reaching $5 million or $10 million to feel like a finish line, but for many families, it's where the anxiety actually begins. We spend our entire lives building a savings plan, but when it's finally time to flip the switch, most people realize they never built a spending plan or the internal confidence to actually use what they've earned. In today's conversation, Nic, Randy, and Aaron dig into the strange psychology of wealth and why a rising bank balance isn't always a cure for financial insecurity. Together, we explore how to move past a "thousand-dollar mindset" in a millionaire reality, the critical difference between accumulation and stewardship, and why chasing a financial horizon will never lead to true contentment. If you've ever felt like the more you have, the more you have to lose, this conversation is for you. ⸻ ⏱️ Episode Highlights [01:17] – Why anxiety often rises alongside your net worth and the "more to lose" trap. [03:27] – Savings Plan vs. Spending Plan: Why most retirees are missing the second half of the equation. [04:45] – The "Pension Paradox" and how the shift to defined contribution plans killed our retirement confidence. [07:56] – Breaking the "Code of Saving": Why spending can feel like breaking the law for the greatest generation. [10:34] – The Stewardship Test: A simple mental shift to help you manage your own money with more logic and less fear. [14:48] – The Charlie Munger Lesson: Why every successful person needs a "second set of eyeballs" on their life and money. [18:38] – Chasing the Horizon: Why "just a little bit more" is a recipe for perpetual frustration. ⸻ Links & Resources Mentioned • Email: connect@yourretirementcoach.com  • Website: www.yourretirementcoach.com ⸻ Closing Thoughts If today's episode resonated with you, please like, follow, share, and drop a comment.

Chasing the Champs, Skipping the Myths Michael Grey and Jacson Bevens from The Cigar Thoughts Podcast have an offseason check-in built around one question: how do you chase a champion without convincing yourself there is a secret code? Bevens shares his insights fresh off a Seahawks title run he says he is determined to savor. He remembered how the first championship a dozen years ago got blunted by the way the following Super Bowl ended. This time, he is taking nothing for granted. That perspective anchored a clear theme. Everyone in the NFL tries to reinvent the latest champion. Mock drafts pile up. Free agent priorities harden. Armchair GMs get loud. But this Seattle season did not look preordained in September. By December, it did. The shift matters for Lions fans trying to separate lessons from mirages. Health, Schedule, and a Thursday Night Pivot Bevans traced two pillars. First, health. He called it the tie that binds Super Bowl champions. Seattle stayed remarkably healthy by modern standards. Second, the league's shape helped. Expected powers stumbled. The Chiefs cratered. The Bills were good, not great. The Ravens cratered. The Lions cratered. The Eagles stacked wins without looking convincing. The Niners took a ton of injuries. Suddenly there were good teams but not great ones in the AFC, and in the NFC it was largely Seattle and the Rams. One inflection point stood out. A Thursday night win over the Rams pushed Seattle into pole position. From there, they held serve. Bevans also admitted he was bullish early. The opening win total sat at seven and a half. Last year's team had won 10. He put his biggest sports bet on Seattle to clear it, and they did so with room to spare. Detroit Lions Takeaways for a Real NFL Sprint So what should the Detroit Lions actually copy? Start with availability. Health powered Seattle's sprint. Next, accept evolution. September narratives lie. December decides. There is no single formula to import. Defensive head coach talking points will surface all offseason, but context and roster shape matter more than slogans. Grey framed it as an offseason mandate. Build smart. Own free agent priorities. Treat mock drafts as tools, not gospel. Avoid chasing a dynasty script before you win the next game. The Seahawks were not crowned in camp. They earned status piece by piece, then protected it. That is the blueprint worth stealing for the Detroit Lions in a ruthless NFL. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #seattleseahawks #nfcrace #ramsthursdaynightwin #superbowlchampions #wintotal7.5 #injuriesandhealth #mockdrafts #freeagentpriorities #armchairgm #quarterbacksmith #dkmetcalf #afchadnogreatteams #ninersinjuries #bestteaminthenfl Learn more about your ad choices.

Colton Parayko may be a Sabre if he opts to waive his no trade clause. Robert Thomas was very nearly a Sabre, based on reporting on Tuesday. Both big names out of St. Louis are our primary talking points this week as Thomas would represent a monumental blockbuster deal while Parayko is a seasoned top four defender who would further strengthen an already impressive unit. We break down what Parayko could mean for the Sabres as we await word on the trade being finalized. We also dive deep into the Thomas rumor, discuss which Sabres assets would have been involved and consider what could bring the teams back together before Friday afternoon.  --- Gambling problem?

In this bonus episode, Warren Ingram and Ray Mhere discuss the critical aspects of investment behavior, focusing on the behavior gap that often leads investors to underperform compared to their unit trusts. They explore the psychological factors influencing investment decisions, such as panic selling and performance chasing, and emphasize the importance of aligning investment choices with personal goals and risk tolerance. The discussion also highlights the necessity of rebalancing portfolios and evaluating fund performance based on management and philosophy, ultimately, providing strategies for successful investing, including regular contributions and maintaining a disciplined approach to investment management. TakeawaysInvestors often underperform their unit trusts due to behavioral factors.The behavior gap is a significant issue in investment performance.Panic selling during market downturns can lead to poor investment decisions.Chasing performance often results in buying high and selling low.Aligning investment choices with personal goals is crucial for success.Rebalancing portfolios regularly helps maintain the desired asset allocation.Evaluating fund performance should focus on management and investment philosophy.Investors should compare similar funds to make informed decisions.Regular contributions can mitigate the effects of market volatility.A disciplined investment strategy is essential for long-term success.Learn more about how Curate Investments can help you here.Send a textThe SafeWork Advantage PodcastMost workplaces react to violence—SafeWork Advantage shows employers how to prevent it.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyHave a question for Warren?

Send a textWhat if the only thing between you and your dream guest is a cleaner intention and a simpler ask? That's the spark that drives our conversation with author, speaker, and host Melissa Llarena, whose hundred-day public campaign turned a casual dare into a live interview with Gary V. We unpack the exact steps she took—from writing daily posts to showing up in person with prepared questions—and why proximity plus preparation can beat a crowded inbox.Melissa shares how to make busy, high-profile guests say yes: clarify your why, strip friction from logistics, and send messages that feel human, not hungry. We dig into the mindset shift that frees creators from corporate-style hierarchy, along with the subtle cues that expose clout chasing in outreach. Her stories with guests like Suzy Batiz and James Altucher reveal a repeatable pattern: be specific, be sincere, and keep the request easy to honour. You'll hear practical scripts, ways to prepare five sharp questions fast, and how to use public accountability to stay bold when doubt creeps in around day 88.We also talk about the unsexy levers that sustain growth: setting a release cadence you can keep, choosing a handful of KPIs that actually matter, and resisting the urge to check downloads like a stock ticker. Melissa's free 30-day anti-burnout planner helps you pair outbound effort with inbound energy so you can scale without losing your spark. If networking makes you anxious, her take is refreshingly grounding: uncertainty is normal, silence isn't a verdict, and conversation skills improve in the arena.Connect with Melissa:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissallarena/Website: https://bit.ly/imagineaplanhttps://www.melissallarena.com/fertileideasPodcast: https://www.melissallarena.com/podcast/Support the showGot a question about something you heard today?

In this third installment of Claude Sessions, Danny is joined by Subash from Not A Square, who helps e-commerce brands scaling past seven figures implement AI without scaling headcount. Subash walks through real client case studies -- including a TikTok brand that boosted its customer satisfaction score from 4.2 to 4.5 in four weeks using a customer support agent built in Claude. Danny then breaks down OpenClaw, the open-source personal AI agent that exploded in popularity, explains why he chose not to use it despite the temptation, and reveals Claude Flow -- his custom operating system built inside Claude Code with 11 engines, 300+ features, and a persistent memory layer powered by ChromaDB. The episode drives home one core message: document your operations first, pick one platform, go deep, and stop chasing every new tool. Key Topics Documenting operations before automation -- Why you cannot automate what is not documented TikTok customer support case study -- Building an AI agent that raised satisfaction scores in four weeks OpenClaw overview and security risks -- What it does, why it blew up, and why Danny built his own alternative Claude Flow -- Danny's custom operating system inside Claude Code with persistent memory The amnesia loop -- How context loss between sessions kills productivity and how ChromaDB solves it Pixel-less environment -- The shift from structured prompts to contextual AI interaction Go deep on one platform -- Why chasing multiple AI tools guarantees you build nothing Timestamps [00:00] Introduction -- Claude Sessions Week 3, delayed from the road [01:03] Subash introduces himself and Not A Square [02:01] Overview of three client projects and the problem founders face [04:30] Why operational truth is the moat in AI commerce [06:48] Three pillars: reduce costs, better governance, scale without headcount [07:30] TikTok case study -- customer support agent boosting store score from 4.2 to 4.5 [09:04] OpenClaw -- history, capabilities, and the security nightmare [15:30] Six core capabilities of OpenClaw (local-first, universal messaging, persistent memory, browser automation, system access, self-extending skills) [18:00] Why OpenClaw matters -- moving from dumb LLMs to personal AI agents [20:00] Security trade-offs -- 1.5M API keys exposed, malware in skills, Cisco tests [22:00] Claude Flow -- Danny's 11-engine operating system built inside Claude Code [24:26] The amnesia loop -- how sessions lose context and how ChromaDB fixes it [28:19] Why Claude MD, agents, and skills are not enough without hooks and triggers [32:40] Go deep on one platform -- stop chasing every new tool [35:35] Subash on helping sellers adopt Claude Code fundamentals (Claude MD, skills) [39:51] Wrap-up and contact info Key Takeaways Document before you automate -- If your business operations live in the founder's head and not on paper, any AI tool will amplify the chaos rather than fix it. Operational truth is the moat -- Clean inventory, accurate catalogs, honest cashflow reporting. Get these right before touching AI. One AI agent moved the needle -- A single customer support agent on TikTok raised a brand's satisfaction score from 4.2 to 4.5 in four weeks, directly improving store visibility. Persistent memory changes everything -- ChromaDB captures decisions, patterns, and project context across sessions so Claude compounds in usefulness over time (zero entries in session one, 1,700+ by session 25). Scaffolding beats raw building -- Danny's Claude Flow system means a project that took five days six months ago now takes 40 minutes. The investment in infrastructure pays exponential returns. OpenClaw is proof of concept, not production-ready -- Broad permissions, prompt injection vulnerabilities, exposed API keys. Wait for the open-source community to patch the holes before diving in.

Trevor Warmedahl's new book, Cheese Trekking: How Microbes, Landscapes, Livestock, and Human Cultures Shape Terroir, documents natural cheesemaking practices in traditional communities. Warmedahl is a cheesemaker, educator, and founder of the Sour Milk School, where he teaches natural methods of milk fermentation suitable for the home, farm, restaurant, or commercial operation. The book recounts his  travels to Mongolia, India, Norway, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Georgia, and Spain, where he met cheesemakers using practices that go back generations and result in cheeses with flavor and "terroir" far beyond anything he'd ever encountered. And the pastoralists who make them have deep connections to their land and animals, and are doing a kind of agriculture that heals the land and promotes biodiversity.

I had the absolute pleasure of welcoming back IRONMAN World Champion Lucy Charles-Barclay to Find Your Finish Line, and this conversation is one every athlete needs to hear. We talked about her recent surgery, the courage it takes to make tough decisions in pursuit of big goals, and the resilience required to rise again when setbacks show up uninvited. Lucy opened up about racing through pain, winning in Kona, learning to block out the noise, and why bravery is sometimes simply committing to a dream that still scares you. Her honesty about recovery, mindset, and staying patient while the world races ahead is powerful for pros and age groupers alike. If you're chasing something big this year, this episode will light a fire in you. Lucy shares what drives her, why she still believes her best days are ahead, and how she balances ambition with gratitude. She's not just a champion on the course, she's a champion in how she handles adversity.

Everyone knows that a big rock wiped out the dinosaurs. But the danger from an asteroid hitting Earth is not limited to ancient history. To deal with this threat, scientists recently ran an experiment to deflect a potential “city killer.” We'll hear the results of that experiment, and about a visit to another asteroid. In the dusty material NASA brought back from the asteroid Bennu, scientists found the chemical building blocks of life, including many of the amino acids that are found in our cells. Could an asteroid have brought the ingredients for life to ancient Earth? In this episode, we look at our paradoxical relationship with the space rocks that taketh way – and may help giveth - life.

When did holidays become another thing to conquer?In this episode of The Noise of Life Podcast, I sit down with my brother Mark Hodgson, Founder of Mind & Body Travel - to unpack something many of us rarely question: why modern travel feels more exhausting than restorative.Overpacked itineraries. Ten cities in three weeks. Back-to-back flights. “The greatest hits tour.”Somewhere along the way, travel began to mirror modern life - busy, performative and driven by social media validation rather than authentic experience.Mark shares how his work in the travel industry goes far beyond booking flights and hotels. It's about intentional travel planning. It's about designing journeys that strip away the noise and help people truly reconnect - with their partner, their family and themselves.From Vietnam to Europe to Antarctica and everywhere in between, Mark shares powerful stories that reveal the difference between spectacle and substance.This conversation challenges how we approach holidays, travel planning, and time off. Because maybe the better question isn't “Where do I want to go?” but “What do I need right now?”Travel should recalibrate you.It should restore you.It should reconnect you.And when designed intentionally, it does exactly that.If you're interested in travel tips, mindful travel, sustainable tourism, authentic experiences or simply learning how to travel less and experience more - this episode is for you.Inside this podcast:- Why holidays have become another source of burnout- The danger of the greatest hits travel mindset- How overtourism damages authenticity and community- Why rest is about pace, not inactivity- How intentional travel improves relationships and mental healthConnect with Mark:Personal Instagram  → https://bit.ly/4r5UnQr Business Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/mindandbodytravel/ Website → https://mindandbodytravel.com/ Connect with Steve:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhR LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj Episode Highlights00:00:00 - When did travel become something to conquer00:04:00 - Overpacked European itineraries and burnout00:08:00 - Tourism as economic blessing and curse00:15:00 - The danger of ego driven travel posts00:17:00 - Rest versus performance holidays00:22:00 - Small group travel and intentional design00:27:00 - Antarctica and earning the experience00:31:00 - Why cabin location matters more than people think00:36:00 - Doing the work to reach the good stuff00:39:00 - Saving money through better design, not cheap bookings00:41:00 - Flexibility in modern travel planning00:43:00 - Travel as emotional reset00:46:00 - Using holidays to prepare for your next life sprint00:49:00 - Asking what holiday do I need00:50:00 - Challenge everything as a company valueABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths and remarkable growth.

Episode 378 of RevolutionZ, Transcend Media Madness, continues our presentation of chapters from the forthcoming book The Wind Cries Freedom. What turns a sea of handmade signs into a movement that can't be ignored? Partly it is information, so we follow that question into the heart of media. Who holds power inside newsrooms? How are stories shaped? What content is addressed? Why does institutional structure matter as much as personal intentions?With Miguel Guevara and Leslie Jordan, a veteran broadcaster and organizer, we examine the quiet hierarchies that once defined alternative media and the concrete steps that dismantled them: balanced job complexes, real mentorship, and quality safeguards that spread skills instead of hoarding them.From there, alternative media took on the engine behind so many bad outcomes: market logic. Chasing donors and clicks rewards brevity over depth and funnels creative energy into fundraising rather than reporting. How do media activists in the next American Revolution explain their choices to treat media as a public good, to plan budgets across outlets, and to distribute resources based on movement needs, not who can shout loudest. As competition gave way to cooperation, Leslie tells how new voices surfaced, class analysis deepened, and editorial agendas widened beyond the narrow lanes advertisers and even elites within organizations prefer.For the new revolution's media movements, change also meant challenging corporate newsrooms from within. Leslie highlights movement campaigns that pressed for fair pay scales, inclusive hiring, participatory decision making, and editorial corrections. Journalism schools became a lever for the future, seeding norms that prized shared power over star systems. She also explains why RPS maintaining principled distance from any single alternative media organization kept independent media truly independent and free to critique allies and opponents alike while still coordinating for impact.Along the way, we confront a live hazard: the push to strip AI guardrails for militarized use, and what that says about state-corporate pressure on communication tools. The stakes are high. If media is the nervous system of society, then democratizing it changes how every struggle moves. Our episode is part story, part strategy to turn moments into durable movements. Support the show

In this episode, we break down a night of pure theatre at Eden Gardens as Sanju Samson played a knock for the ages to send India into the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals. Chasing a daunting 196 in what was effectively a virtual quarter-final against the West Indies on 1 March, Samson silenced the critics with a breathtaking 97 off just 50 balls*. We dive deep into the tactical mastery of Samson's innings, which featured 12 fours and 4 sixes, guiding India to a 5-wicket victory with 4 balls to spare. We also recap a frantic final 72 hours of Super 8 action that decided the final four. From South Africa's clinical 5-wicket win over Zimbabwe to secure the top spot in Group 1, to Pakistan's heartbreaking exit despite a thrilling 5-run victory over Sri Lanka on 28 February—where Sahibzada Farhan's heroic century (100 off 60) wasn't enough to overcome New Zealand's superior net run rate.

On The Wire - Adam Howe and Kevin Hasting continue their 2026 fantasy baseball draft preview series by shifting focus to pitching volume categories — Wins and Strikeouts. The discussion centers on why fantasy managers must actively chase volume, how innings pitched drive both categories, and which late-round starters and speculative arms can help managers compete without paying early-round pitching prices. The hosts also explore streaming strategy, team context, bullpen support, and how draft construction impacts in-season flexibility.

Parenting is one of the most profound spaces in-between any of us will ever occupy — and when your child is struggling with addiction, that space can feel impossibly vast and terrifyingly uncertain. In this deeply personal episode of The Space In-Between, I sit down with Dawn McCord, author of Chasing Carson and family recovery life coach, for a conversation that is honest, gritty, and ultimately full of hope.Dawn shares the story of her family's journey through her son Carson's adolescent addiction — from those early, disorienting moments wondering if this was "just teenage experimentation," to the terrifying reality of street Xanax, overdoses, wilderness therapy, and the long, winding road to recovery. She wrote Chasing Carson, a raw and powerful memoir, during the COVID-19 pandemic — and the book became not just a record of her family's story, but an offering to every parent who has ever felt completely alone in the dark.I open up about watching my late brother's drinking escalate as a teenager, and chasing my own daughter through her fair share of terrifying moments, as well as my "all is well" mantra that carried me through the hardest years of my husband's illness. The result is a conversation that doesn't flinch — and doesn't let you look away — but somehow leaves you feeling less alone.Together, we explore the particular heartbreak of the in-between spaces in addiction: the moments of hope when things seem to be turning around, the crashes that follow, and the long, slow work of learning to stop chasing and start trusting. We talk about the "Okay" practice that helped Dawn stay grounded during moments of crisis, radical acceptance, the Mel Robbins "Let Them" theory (and why it's complicated when your child is a minor), and the difference between enabling and loving someone well.Dawn also speaks to her work as a family recovery life coach — sharing what makes that role distinct from therapy or social work, and what she most wants parents to hear who are right now in the thick of it.This one is for the moms and dads in the trenches. The ones who've had to put the book of someone else's life down for a minute just to catch their breath. The ones who are quietly saying okay to themselves before every conversation. You are not alone — and there is light even here.Key Takeaways:The early signs of adolescent addiction can look a lot like "normal" teenage experimentation — and knowing the difference is harder than anyone tells youThe in-between moments of addiction — between episodes, between rehabs, between hope and fear — are often the hardest spaces to sit withSaying "okay" is a powerful grounding tool that can interrupt the panic cycle and help you take the next step forwardThe "Let Them" philosophy has real limits when your child is a minor — and the goal isn't detachment, it's learning to love without losing yourselfRecovery coaching focuses on helping families walk alongside their loved one without being attached to the outcome — and that includes doing your own workCarson's recovery taught Dawn one of her most important life lessons: trust that your child is capable, even when the evidence is hard to seeResources: Dinine's Website: https://dininesig.com/Dinine's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dinine-sig-917784252/ Dinine's Instagram: @dininesig Dinine's TikTok: @dinine.sig Dawn McCord's Coaching: https://www.adolescentaddictionandrecovery.com/ Dawn McCord's book Chasing Carson: https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Carson-Adolescence-Addiction-Recovery/dp/1662919867 Mel Robbins / "Let Them" Theory: https://melrobbins.com127 Hours (film referenced by Dawn): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1542344/ For King & Country / "God Only Knows": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5cPQg3oq-o Lastly, if you're in the Indianapolis area on March 13th, and want to connect with like-minded women who are ready to challenge themselves and grow through the transitions in their lives.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sana (filling in for Avik Chakraborty), we unpack why “feeling fine” isn't the same as being strong—especially as the body quietly changes with age. This episode is for anyone feeling slower, more tired, or unsure what to track. Mike McGlothlin connects the dots between muscle loss (sarcopenia), VO2 max, and cellular health (phase angle)—and how testing, small training shifts, and consistent recovery can protect your energy, mobility, and long-term independence. About the Guest: Mike McGlothlin, CPT has lived with diabetes for 25+ years and shifted his focus from managing it to working toward reversal. He's the founder of Ageless Fitness (Florida) and shares a “test, don't guess” approach to strength, cardio-respiratory fitness, and recovery. Episode Chapters: 00:05:25 — Why health shows up in stairs, recovery, and “everyday strength” 00:08:11 — Sarcopenia: the muscle-loss problem people miss 00:10:55 — The real risks: falls, frailty, and functional decline 00:14:23 — “Responsible” strength building without heavy lifting 00:18:27 — VO2 max: a wellness metric, not just fitness 00:21:33 — Chasing numbers vs building outcomes you care about 00:24:03 — Phase angle + cellular health: the “battery” analogy that lands Key Takeaways: Track skeletal muscle mass, not just weight—muscle impacts glucose use. Use testing (body scans, VO2) to guide training instead of guessing. Build strength with targeted, joint-friendly resistance and consistency. Treat VO2 max as a future-independence metric tied to daily function. Prioritize recovery practices that help you train again—better.
