What if your confidence didn't need to wait for proof—what if it's something you practice in the middle of uncertainty? In this episode, we unpack what it really takes to stay steady, self-assured, and mentally resilient while building a purpose-driven business. Hosted by Avik Chakraborty on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, this conversation is for women founders (and anyone on a non-linear path) who feel self-doubt, external pressure, or the quiet need to “prove” their worth. Neli Kools shares how her journey—from architecture and urban planning to entrepreneurship—shaped her leadership, and why care, comfort, and dignity are deeply tied to women's confidence. About the Guest: Neli Kools is a global entrepreneur and co-founder of Intimate Queen, a purpose-driven lingerie and wellness brand focused on plant-based, comfort-first pieces designed for women's confidence and care. Key Takeaways: Treat confidence as a daily practice, not a reward you earn after success. Stop outsourcing your worth: focus on integrity, deliverables, and authenticity. When pressure rises, slow down—journal, meditate, and listen inward before deciding. Normalize non-linear growth: detours can widen vision and strengthen decision-making. Comfort impacts mindset: when the body feels supported, the mind feels lighter. Replace “prove yourself” with “trust yourself”—one step, one choice at a time.

What actually makes something a “comfort” watch? This week, Jenna & Kevin break down the shows and movies they find themselves coming back to over and over ... and their picks are way less predictable than you might expect. From dark dramas and action blockbusters to nostalgic rewatches that help them unwind, they talk about why familiarity just feels good, how comfort viewing shifts with different phases of life, and why sometimes the least “cozy” choices end up being the most comforting.For fun, exclusive content, and behind-the-scenes clips, follow us on Instagram @andthatswhatyoureallymissedpod & TikTok @thatswhatyoureallymissed!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Comfort is something most of us chase without even realizing it. We organize our lives around what feels safe, familiar, and emotionally manageable — but over time, that pursuit of comfort can quietly replace trust in God. In this episode, we talk about: • How comfort becomes an idol • Why discomfort often accompanies spiritual growth • How avoiding hard things keeps us stuck • The difference between God's peace and personal comfort • What it means to follow God when obedience feels costly If you've been feeling stuck in patterns that feel safe but unfulfilling, or if you've been resisting change because it feels too hard, this episode will help you reframe discomfort as part of God's refining work. Sometimes the very thing we're avoiding is where God is inviting us to grow. love, Brittany Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama? Sign Up for the Pain to Peace Academy HERE.

Most of the fear that stops you isn't real. It's just unfamiliar. And unfamiliar doesn't mean dangerous. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor shares a lesson learned while hiking off the beaten path with Bear and how it directly applies to stepping into new territory in life. When you leave familiar routines and predictable paths, your senses wake up. Every sound feels louder. Every unknown feels bigger. What once felt safe suddenly feels risky. And when that happens, your mind fills in the gaps with worst-case scenarios. But most of the time, what you think is a monster is just a squirrel. Baylor explains how staying on the same route every day causes your brain to shut down, crave comfort, and resist change. That's why people stay in jobs they hate, relationships that drain them, and routines that numb them. Comfort becomes more important than growth. The moment you step into unfamiliar territory, your awareness returns. Your capacity expands. You start to realize how much more you're capable of when you're fully awake. This episode is a reminder that growth lives off the beaten path, that help is closer than you think, and that trusting people who know the terrain can make all the difference. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why unfamiliar situations trigger unnecessary fear How routine causes mental shutdown and complacency Why growth requires stepping off the safe path The importance of trusting people with real experience How to tell the difference between real danger and imagined fear Why most obstacles are smaller than you think once you face them Featured Quote "Don't let squirrels turn into monsters just because you've never walked this path before."
From Bill Gates to pastors with coffee shops to concierge doctors—this is a blunt conversation about hypocrisy, values, and hard truths people don’t want to hear. If you say you “can’t afford” something, the real question is whether you just don’t value it enough to sacrifice for it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes author and multi-season Survivor contestant, Stephen Fishbach, onto the show to discuss what drives our human fascination with emotional voyeurism, how fame is viewed from the lens of a reality tv contestant, and why being in front of a camera can train you to be a good liar and gas-lighter. Stephen also finds out how Michael really feel about Jeff Probst, what Michael's hack would be if he ever played Traitors, and the one show that should never exist, but does.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260204dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4 Jesus Gives Us Comfort At first glance, Jesus’ words sound contradictory. Blessed are those who mourn? Most of us spend our days trying to avoid sorrow, rather than embracing it. We fill our schedules, distract our minds, and tighten our emotional armor so we don’t have to face the things that hurt. Mourning doesn’t feel like a blessing. It feels like breaking. But Jesus knows something we often forget. Sorrow has a way of bringing us to the end of ourselves so that we can find our beginning in him. When Jesus speaks of those who mourn, he certainly includes those weighed down by the griefs and losses that come with living in a broken world. But Jesus also speaks of a deeper mourning: sorrow over sin. There is a particular kind of ache that comes when God's Word exposes truths we’d rather not face. And here is Jesus’ promise: “They will be comforted.” Not “might be.” Not “if they pull themselves together.” They will be comforted. The comfort Jesus gives is not the shallow reassurance that things aren’t so bad. It is the deep comfort of forgiveness fully won at the cross. It is the comfort of a Savior who sits with you in the ashes and lifts your chin to remind you that your sins are nailed to his cross and cannot condemn you anymore. It is the comfort of a Shepherd who walks with you through the darkest valleys and promises that no grief will have the final word, not even death. His empty tomb guarantees it. So, if you live today with sorrow, whether sorrow over life’s wounds or sorrow over your own sin, hear Jesus’ gentle blessing. You are not abandoned, forgotten, or cursed. You are blessed because Christ comes near to comfort you with mercy that does not run dry. Prayer: Lord Jesus, teach me to bring my sorrows and my sins to you. Comfort me with your forgiveness, strengthen me with your presence, and fill my heart with the hope only you can give. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

I video of a friend of mine and he said, “God will keep enough strife in your life so you won't forget Him.”That line lodged itself in my ribs.Because I'm living proof. When I'm struggling, I pray constantly. I call on God with the urgency of a man whose oxygen mask just dropped from the ceiling. But the moment I hit a stride, a little success, a little comfort, God gets politely set aside. Not rejected. Just… postponed.And right on schedule, the next smackdown arrives.If people were honest, most would admit they've lived this cycle. Comfort breeds amnesia. Struggle restores memory.Now here's the thing. Everyone knows tragedy will occur. Jobs end. Relationships dissolve. Loved ones die. Businesses fail. Bodies betray us. These are known risks. They're written into the terms of service of being alive.And most of those things can be overcome in one way or another. But circumstances matter.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

II Corinthians 1:3-7 - Comfort
Affordable Interior Design presents Big Design, Small Budget
In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I share how unexpectedly energized I've been by diving into TikTok for the first time, using it as a creative outlet for design inspiration, trend commentary, and playful content creation, before answering a listener's question about whether French bistro–style X-back dining chairs are a fad (they're not—I love them and consider them a timeless, practical choice, especially for families). I then pivot to pop culture and unpack my long-anticipated but ultimately disappointing experience watching Netflix's Secret Mall Apartment, a documentary about artists secretly building a hidden space inside a Rhode Island mall; while I was fascinated by the premise and the broader ideas around reclaiming unused space, I felt misled by the title, underwhelmed by the focus on artistic philosophy over logistics, and unconvinced by staged reenactments—making it a watch I don't regret, but definitely won't revisit.

In this episode, Jenna is joined by her nine-year-old daughter, Rosie, for a sweet and surprisingly insightful conversation about what comfort looks like in their family. Together, they talk about the different “flavors of comfort” each family member needs when big emotions show up—whether that's physical touch, someone staying close, space to process alone, or quiet presence. Rosie shares how she prefers space before reconnecting, while Jenna reflects on how having someone in the room can actually make it harder for her to notice what she's feeling.The conversation is tender, honest, and full of Rosie's natural charm. Toward the end, Jenna also shares a recent meaningful moment they experienced together with the Lord—offering a gentle invitation for parents to cultivate similar moments of connection, emotional safety, and spiritual openness with their own kids. This episode is both practical and heart-level, and a reminder that learning how we give and receive comfort can deepen our relationships in powerful ways.

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.

Annie adds her signature tips: where to skip the queues, how to navigate like a local, and why comfortable shoes are your best friend.

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.

Our Reimagined Life: Empowering Me, You, and Us Seeking Happiness and Self Worth
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.

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.

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.

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!
