Podcasts about Comfort

In today's Magic Monday, I reflect on what peace means when staying comfortable starts to cost too much. This episode explores peace without bypass, choosing courage over comfort, and how to stay soft, regulated, and present in heavy times without checking out or hardening.NEW SUBSTACKraquellemantra.substack.comRAQUELLE + YOMyourownmagic.comig @raquellemantrafb group your own magicSPONSORS' SPECIAL OFFERS hereOur Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Bobbie: https://www.hibobbie.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/your-own-magic/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Most people think “playing it safe” means avoiding risk. Choosing comfort. Making the responsible choice. Doing what makes sense on paper.But from a broader, spiritual perspective, that assumption is backwards.In this episode, I explore why what we call playing it safe often turns out to be the most dangerous move we can make—not in a dramatic, blow-up-your-life way, but in a slow, almost invisible way. The kind where nothing seems wrong… until years later.Comfort doesn't just keep us where we are. It quietly changes us. It makes us more cautious, more rigid, and less willing to trust ourselves. Over time, we lose adaptability—and with it, resilience.I break down why betting on yourself and moving in the direction of growth, even when it feels uncertain, is often safer than staying comfortable. And I explain how real safety isn't created by avoiding risk, but by building the capacity to respond to change.If you've ever felt stuck while doing “all the right things,” this episode offers a reframing that may help you see risk, growth, and safety in a completely different way.Send us a text message.

In this episode, Travis Chappell sits down with his co-host for a lively and surprisingly deep conversation that begins with TV banter and ends with some serious money talk. From dissecting White Lotus characters to breaking down what true financial security really means, Travis shares insights on why confidence in your ability to earn beats any number in the bank. Known for helping creators and entrepreneurs master income generation, Travis blends humor, vulnerability, and actionable advice that'll leave you rethinking your relationship with money. On this episode we talk about: Why confidence in your earning ability matters more than your savings balance The $10 million security number—does it really mean freedom? Why “comfortably” living in America now means a six-figure income How scarcity can actually fuel productivity and focus The mindset shift that keeps entrepreneurs resilient through financial risks Top 3 Takeaways Financial security isn't tied to a number—it's rooted in your confidence to generate income when needed. Comfort looks different today: for most families, living well now requires over $100K a year in virtually every U.S. state. Investing in yourself and your ability to earn is far more valuable than stockpiling money in a savings account. Notable Quotes “My security stems from my confidence that I can generate money out of nothing.” “If you can wake up tomorrow and know you can earn, you already have real financial security.” “Money only solves your money problems—but it's a lot easier to solve the rest when you've got some in the bank.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: instagram.com/travischappell Website: travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode Description:This was one of the most intense conversations James ever recorded.This archive conversation captures David Goggins at the moment Can't Hurt Me was launching — before the mythology around him fully formed. What makes this episode powerful is how grounded it is. He's not selling inspiration. He's explaining the mechanics of suffering, discipline, and self-reinvention in plain terms.Goggins describes growing up with abuse, learning disabilities, fear, and self-hatred — and how those became the raw material for rebuilding himself. He explains his concept of the “40% rule,” the mental governor that convinces people they're done long before they actually are. He also breaks down why failure isn't the end of anything — it's the beginning of knowledge.The conversation moves from ultramarathons and Navy SEAL training into everyday applications: work ethic, education, relationships, accountability, and the quiet habits that build resilience. It's not about extreme athletics. It's about developing a mindset that doesn't collapse when life gets hard.What You'll Learn:Why your brain tells you to quit at 40% — and how to push past that limitHow discomfort, not comfort, is the real training ground for mental strengthWhy failure is data, not defeatHow to build discipline through small daily “mini boot camps”Why accountability starts with brutal honesty about yourselfTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Haters, criticism, and emotional control[04:00] Introducing David Goggins + the pull-up record shock[08:00] Life as a race: getting to the start line[11:30] Callousing the mind through discomfort[14:00] Living outside the comfort box[16:00] Learning disability and obsessive study discipline[20:00] Public speaking, stuttering, and fear exposure[23:30] Failure as the beginning of growth[27:00] Society's fear of discomfort[30:00] Radical accountability[32:00] Meaning, suffering, and visualization[35:00] The first 100-mile race: confronting death[39:00] Rejection as fuel[41:30] What happens after achievement[44:00] Writing the book and vulnerability[46:00] Discipline audit: where your hours go[48:00] Abuse, forgiveness, and breaking cycles[52:00] Cutting toxic relationships[55:00] The 40% rule explained[58:00] Reflection as survival[01:00:00] Building a personal mental boot camp[01:05:00] Comfort vs. growth: why people stay stuck[01:10:00] Identity, self-image, and reinvention[01:15:00] Discipline as daily practice[01:20:00] Aging, purpose, and long-term mindset[01:25:00] Applying Goggins' philosophy to normal life[01:30:00] Training for life, not races[01:35:00] Legacy and impact[01:40:00] Closing reflections + audiobook discussionAdditional Resources:Can't Hurt Me – David GogginsDavid Goggins Official WebsiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There's a business season that doesn't get talked about enough; the one where growth stops feeling exciting and starts feeling heavy. It's a different phase from when you are the only person and you are tired from being overwhelmed. Here, you're no longer doing everything yourself. What you have running are systems, training, and leadership, but these feel harder than any work you have ever done. This episode is grounded in what that season looked like inside my own business, because it's a phase so many owners experience but rarely name out loud. I walk through what was really happening for me during that stretch; the mental exhaustion of training and delegation, my nervous system constantly on edge, and what understanding the neuroscience behind growth helped me finally see. I also share a turning-point conversation with a long-time client that forced me to choose: keep being the value in my business, or start building it into the business itself.   If you're building a team, feeling the weight of growth, or questioning why this phase feels so uncomfortable, I hope this episode helps you make sense that this season isn't a mistake.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why growth often feels worse before it feels better Why training is harder than just doing the work yourself The difference between clients who want outcomes and clients who want access How to advocate for your team instead of rescuing situations   RESOURCES:   Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome If you want to learn how to streamline your operations so you can grow with less stress and burnout in your staging business, enrollment is open for Staging Business School Accelerate Track.

Comfort zones can feel safe… but they can also quietly keep us from becoming who we're meant to be. In this episode, I talk about why real growth almost always begins with discomfort—and how learning to trust yourself is often the first step toward meaningful change. I share a personal story about stepping outside my own comfort zone early in my journey, and why that moment changed everything. If you've been feeling a nudge toward something more but aren't quite sure how to move forward, this conversation is for you. ✨ Tune in to explore: Why comfort zones can hold us back How courage is built after we take the step Gentle ways to move forward without forcing or rushing Thanks so much for listening. If you have ideas for future topics or questions you'd like me to explore, I'd love to hear from you. Be sure to tune in next week for a new episode. I love you, Julie

Midlife doesn't ruin men.Avoidance does.In this episode of the ALLSMITH Podcast, Bryce Smith sits down with Greg Scheinman for a raw, grounded, and unapologetic conversation about ownership, responsibility, and what really happens when the stories you have been telling yourself stop working.This is not a conversation about blaming systems, circumstances, or childhood forever.It is about the moment in life where the mirror gets honest.Greg and Bryce explore why midlife is not a crisis but a reckoning.Why comfort has quietly replaced courage for so many modern men.And why taking radical ownership of your health, your energy, your relationships, and your direction may be the most important decision of your life.They talk masculinity without cosplay.Discipline without shame.Strength without ego.And growth without burning your life to the ground.If you feel successful on paper but restless in your body.If you sense you are drifting instead of choosing.If you know deep down that excuses are costing you more than effort ever will.This episode is for you.The forge is hot.And ownership is the entry point.⸻WHAT WE EXPLORE IN THIS EPISODE• Why midlife exposes the truth about how you have been living• The difference between accountability and self punishment• How comfort slowly erodes strength, presence, and leadership• Why most men are exhausted but not actually empty• Health as a responsibility, not an aesthetic• Masculinity beyond anger, dominance, or collapse• Brotherhood, isolation, and the cost of doing life alone• Why waiting for motivation keeps men stuck• Redefining success beyond money and optics• How ownership unlocks energy, clarity, and freedom⸻STANDOUT QUOTES“You do not wake up lost. You drift there quietly.”“Midlife does not demand perfection. It demands honesty.”“Comfort is not neutral. It is either serving you or slowly stealing from you.”“Most men do not need a new life. They need to stop avoiding the one they are in.”“Ownership is not about blame. It is about power.”“You cannot build a strong future while protecting weak stories.”“Discipline is not punishment. It is self respect in motion.”“Your body tells the truth long before your words do.”“The middle of life is not the end. It is the forge.”⸻KEY TAKEAWAYSOwnership is freedomBlame keeps you stuck. Ownership gives you options, energy, and direction.Midlife is feedbackYour health, relationships, and fulfillment are reporting back on how you have lived.Comfort is costlyShort term ease often trades away long term vitality and presence.Strength is a responsibilityNot for ego. Not for image. For leadership, longevity, and service.You cannot outsource meaningNo amount of success compensates for disconnection from self.Brotherhood mattersIsolation accelerates decline. Honest connection builds resilience.⸻WHO THIS EPISODE IS FORMen who feel restless but cannot name whyMen who are successful but disconnectedMen ready to stop negotiating with excusesMen who want strength without toxicityMen who want ownership without shame⸻Greg Scheinman on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/gregscheinmanForged Not found.Thank you for Listening!

Years ago, back when I first started this podcast, I shared an episode entitled "The comfort of being single." I will link to that podcast below. It's one of the most listened to episodes.My clients, always serving as the greatest mirror, reminded me this topic was worth revisiting. I find it to be an extremely comment sentiment, but it often gets buried with feelings of: There's something wrong with me. I should just date more. If I want a relationship, why am I not trying harder?This episode will resonate if you find yourself single and deeply resistant to dating, or stuck in a series of short or largely unsuccessful relationships, and can't seem to shake the pattern. In it I cover:The deeper reasons as to why we resist dating or find our relationship attempts always fall shortHow and why we shame and blame ourselves — saying we're too picky and not trying hard enough — and how that actually isn't trueHow much of remaining single has to do with maintaining controlWays you can better understand your own relationship patternsEpisode 11Work with me PrivatelyConnect on InstagramWebsitePodcast Production by James Jorge

In Episode 6 of EDI Chronicles at Brain Sciences, Beverley speaks with Professor Carolyn McGettigan, former LGBTQ+ Committee Chair at UCL Faculty of Brain Sciences about pronouns what they are why they matter and how they support gender inclusion in everyday work and learning. Carolyn shares their personal journey to using they them pronouns explains why not everyone feels able or ready to share pronouns publicly and offers practical ways to build inclusive habits without putting anyone on the spot. The conversation also explores the role of allyship in normalising pronoun use how to respond when mistakes happen and simple language shifts such as moving away from gendered greetings that can help create more welcoming classrooms meetings and professional spaces. If you want this slightly more formal or slightly more conversational let me know and I will adjust it.

Surrendering to faith and authenticity, Michael Holden returns for his second TCS interview in over a year discussing the importance of small changes leading to significant impacts, the redefinition of wealth beyond monetary value, and the creation of a family operating system to strengthen relationships. He emphasizes the role of authenticity in personal and professional success and the challenges of navigating solvency while following a higher purpose. Through Michael's experiences, he aims to inspire others to seek their own authenticity and share their journeys.

Pressure doesn't break winners, it's the weight they deliberately carry. Urgency, responsibility, and self-imposed standards separate those who rise from those who stall. Some people lose regardless of the environment. Comfort weakens them. Chaos exposes them. Winners are different. They convert stress, deadlines, and expectations into advantage. What feels heavy to most becomes structure, focus, and momentum. This episode examines why responsibility sharpens decision-making, why urgency creates movement, and why the weight you choose determines the life you build. Avoiding pressure keeps you small. Choosing it builds capacity. Winners aren't spared the weight. They select it.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

Justin Neagle and Austin Trautman delve into the concept of creating healthy homes, emphasizing the importance of materials and design in enhancing the living experience. Austin shares insights on how traditional building practices often overlook the well-being of inhabitants and the environmental impact of materials used. He advocates for a shift towards natural materials, like sheep's wool, which not only provide better insulation but also contribute positively to indoor air quality and overall health. The discussion highlights the need for a holistic approach to home building, considering both the immediate and long-term effects on occupants and the environment. The conversation also explores the innovative idea of building homes with just two people, challenging conventional construction methods.

Psalm 30

Have you ever stared at your to-do list, felt that familiar dread, and suddenly decided that reorganising your sock drawer was the most important task in the world? What if that delay you keep shaming yourself for isn’t laziness at all—but your mind trying to protect you from something it perceives as threatening? In this powerful episode, we shatter the myth that procrastination is a character flaw or lack of discipline. The truth is far more revealing: procrastination isn’t the enemy—it’s a messenger. It’s a mirror reflecting how we manage emotion, fear, and self-worth. While the world tells you to push harder and discipline yourself into action, something far more transformative happens when you stop fighting the delay and start understanding it. This episode reveals three transformative insights about the psychology behind procrastination and how to turn delay into self-awareness. The Comfort of Future Self-Deception: Every time you tell yourself “I’ll do it tomorrow,” your brain is playing its favourite trick. We imagine a future version of ourselves who is infinitely capable—a superhero who will have more energy, more focus, more time. Psychologists call this temporal discounting: we prioritise immediate comfort over future benefit. And here’s the trap—every time we delay, we get a tiny hit of relief. Dopamine whispers that we escaped discomfort, and that relief reinforces the habit. We don’t procrastinate to waste time. We procrastinate to avoid pain. The next time you catch yourself scrolling instead of starting, pause and ask: what am I trying not to feel? It’s rarely laziness. It’s emotional protection. The Fear Factor—Perfectionism in Disguise: Behind every chronic procrastinator, there’s usually a perfectionist hiding. We delay not because we don’t care, but because we care too much. The thought of doing something imperfectly triggers fear of judgment, rejection, and even success itself. So we wait. We polish. We overthink. Because as long as the task isn’t done, it can’t be wrong. “If I never finish, I never fail”—that’s the quiet logic of procrastination. Safety disguised as strategy. But here’s the paradox: by avoiding the discomfort of imperfection, we create the pain of paralysis. Progress doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from movement. Rewriting Your Procrastination Story: Once you understand procrastination, you can begin to rewire it. The key is not to fight it, but to get curious about it. Start small—break overwhelming goals into tiny doable steps. The brain loves completion, and even micro-successes release dopamine that fuels momentum. Reframe the task: instead of “I have to finish,” try “I’ll just begin.” Beginning is often the hardest part, and once you start, inertia works for you instead of against you. Most importantly, replace self-criticism with self-compassion. Research shows that people who forgive themselves for procrastinating are far less likely to repeat the pattern. When you remove the shame, you remove the resistance. This isn’t just an episode—it’s permission to stop shaming yourself and start listening to what your delays are trying to tell you. Procrastination is your mind saying something here feels too heavy, too uncertain, or too much. When you listen with compassion, the delay dissolves and action feels natural again. The goal isn’t to conquer procrastination. It’s to understand it. And once you understand it, you are free. You can watch the video of this episode on YouTube.

Angel Santana opens the door to a quiet, urgent truth: most change arrives when life refuses to stay comfortable. In this short, powerful episode you'll walk through a moment of disruption—plans shattered, routines unraveled—and meet the fragile space where faith either retreats or stretches. Through calm, clear storytelling, Angel shows how choosing trust in the unknown becomes the soil where belief deepens. Lean in with the Have Faith family: this is an invitation to stop panicking and start listening for the lessons discomfort brings. If you've felt unsettled lately, this episode offers a steady hand and a timely reminder that God often uses the hard places to teach us to depend more fully—so have faith, and let it begin.

Every life has a quiet season—routines that feel safe until something shifts. In this 60-second episode, we stand with someone whose plans unravel and who must decide whether to cling to certainty or step into trust. Instead of panicking, they lean in as God uses the unease to deepen dependence and reveal what truly matters. If you've been uncomfortable lately, let this brief, powerful story remind you that faith often grows where comfort ends. Have faith—let it begin.

In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I talk about a hard truth most people avoid: success and comfort don't live together. If you're always comfortable, you're not growing—and you're definitely not winning. I break down why real progress in business and in life requires discomfort, obsession, and a willingness to pay a price that most people refuse to pay. Comfort feels good in the moment, but it quietly kills momentum, ambition, and potential over time. If you want more—more success, more freedom, more fulfillment—you have to be willing to do what others won't and embrace the uncomfortable work that actually moves the needle. Growth lives on the other side of comfort.

Five months ago, I went quiet. Not because I had nothing to say… But because life stripped everything down to the studs. Titles. Comfort. Certainty. Noise. Gone. What remained? Me. Raw. Honest. Awake. This episode isn't a comeback — it's a re-introduction. To the woman I met on the other side of loss. To the clarity that only comes when everything falls apart on purpose. To the version of me that no longer survives… she chooses. If you've ever felt like life hit “reset” without asking permission… If you've been rebuilding quietly… If you lost everything and wondered who am I now? This conversation is for you. And because I didn't just live it — I built through it, I turned the journey into a private, self-guided reset you can move through at your own pace: ✨ I Have Lost Everything… Now What? – The Digital Bundle A reflection, rebuilding, and identity-reset experience created for the moments no one prepares you for.

Sure there were a lot of interviews and rumors and even a few on campus visits but it's pretty clear that Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and general manager Eric DeCosta preferred to keep it in the Harbaugh family when hiring the next head coach. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the career path of Jesse Minter and the Ravens' familiarity and comfort with the new leader of the building in Owings Mills, who knows the hallways well. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss career path of Jesse Minter and Ravens familiarity and comfort first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

What happens when life hits harder than your capacity can handle?In this episode, Kevin and Alan explain why readiness is not built in moments of pressure, but long before they arrive. Most people do not fail from lack of effort. They fail because their capacity is too small for the life they want. After years of building businesses, navigating setbacks, coaching clients, and recording thousands of conversations on growth, they have seen the same pattern repeat. Comfort weakens readiness. Short-term thinking limits resilience. When life demands more, most people are exposed.If you want to meet life with strength instead of reaction, this episode will change how you think about preparation. Build the capacity now, or pay the price later. Press play accordingly.Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

How do we know if what we're walking through is a trial God is using to refine us—or a consequence of our own sin? In this episode, we take a biblical look at suffering, discernment, and the subtle danger of the comfort trap. We'll talk about why our desire for comfort can sometimes lead us to compromise, how Scripture helps us distinguish trials from consequences, and what God actually promises when it comes to comfort. If you've ever wondered why life feels hard—or questioned what God is doing in the middle of it—let's talk about it!  Join my Worldview in 3 Minutes Newsletter  Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop  

In this powerful talk, Rev. Lee Wolak explores why comfort weakens discipline and how the absence of crisis can quietly erode focus, purpose, and personal growth. You'll discover why most people drift when life feels easy, how urgency sharpens awareness, and how to cultivate inner drive without waiting for pain to force change. This talk challenges complacency and invites conscious, intentional living rooted in presence, clarity, and self-mastery.

Ground blinds offer a stable alternative to tree stands for older hunters. Maintaining physical fitness is crucial for mobility in hunting. Technology in hunting gear is evolving to meet the needs of aging hunters. Comfort and safety should be prioritized in hunting gear choices. Learn more about your ad choices.
