What would your dream week look like? Every Monday before I walk into the gym, I sit in my truck with my pre-workout and I think about that question. Not in a vague way. Not in a “hopefully something good happens” kind of way. I get specific.What would the perfect week look like for me? Revenue. Impact. Conversations. Health. Content. Relationships. Because here's what I've learned… if you can see it clearly in your mind, you start moving toward it without even realizing it. “As within, so without.”The more I study manifesting and the law of assumption, the more convinced I am that you have to build it internally before it ever shows up externally. You don't stumble into a great week. You design it.And let's be real… your life can change in a moment. One call. One DM. One referral. One piece of content. We've all had that domino moment where everything shifted.So why not decide, ahead of time, what kind of week you're stepping into? What would your dream week look like in your business? What would it look like in your body? In your marriage? In your faith? In the way you show up?Then ask yourself one powerful question: How would the version of you who already has that week… act today? Because you're not your past. And in front of you are seven fresh days. Seven chances. Seven opportunities. Seven moments that could change everything.So maybe today you grab a journal. Maybe you just sit quietly for five minutes. But see it. Feel it. Decide it. Then walk into this week like it's already unfolding in your favor. I'm pouring belief into you right now. I really believe the next seven days could shift your entire life. Let's go create something beautiful.

You think they're winning? They're the furthest from themselves a human being can get. Dr. Christian Gonzalez addresses what so many are feeling right now—the shock, the grief, the helplessness that comes from seeing the depths of human darkness exposed in the Epstein files. This isn't a news breakdown. This is a spiritual reckoning. The question isn't what to do about them. The question is: who are you choosing to be in relation to what you've experienced? In this episode, Dr. G reveals: • Why the people who hurt children are already living in their own personal hell—no external justice needed • The "Conversations with God" principle that reframes all suffering as an opportunity to remember who you are • How holding onto anger, helplessness, and fear burns a hole in your own being—and what to do instead This episode is raw, emotional, and necessary. If the state of the world has shaken you to your core, press play.

It's often true that the most challenging conversations are often the ones most worth having. Conversations that bring up strong feelings, different experiences, and questions without easy answers. Policing, and how we can make it better, is one of those conversations.San Leandro Police Chief Angela Averiett has spent nearly three decades in law enforcement, navigating the profession's challenges while advocating for a healthier path forward. I met Angela through The Curve, my organization focused on helping policing evolve to meet the needs of a modern world. She's a powerful example of forward-thinking leadership, exploring how culture, mindset, and psychological safety shape the way officers show up for each other and for the communities they serve.In this episode, Angela and I unpack why cynicism is so common among officers, how strong leadership creates healthier team cultures, and why rebuilding trust in policing starts from the inside out. Angela shares stories from her career that reveal a different side of police work: where compassion improves safety, discretion matters more than enforcement, and leadership means creating space for people to be human. Together, we explore the balance between strength and empathy, and why healthier internal cultures lead to stronger relationships with the public.Whether you're a leader interested in organizational culture or simply curious about how policing can evolve, I hope this conversation offers an honest and hopeful perspective on the work ahead.---------------------------If you want to learn more about the work The Curve is doing, head to: https://www.thecurve.org---------------------------

Does the Bible truly restrict women in leadership? In this thought-provoking Voxology Podcast episode, Mike Geary, Susie Lind, and Preston Sprinkle wrestle with this deeply significant theological question. Drawing from Preston's upcoming book, *From Genesis to Junia: What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership*, they explore the historical, cultural, and biblical contexts that shape complementarian and egalitarian debates. Are women called to lead, preach, and teach in the church? What role does cultural context play in interpreting scripture? With a blend of personal stories, rigorous scholarship, and honest dialogue, the hosts unpack passages like 1 Timothy 2 and Ephesians 5, illuminating how interpretations of authority, headship, and agency have shaped the Church's approach to women in ministry. Susie shares her lived experience as a pastor navigating these challenges, while Preston dives into the exegetical work that informed his book. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how faith intersects with justice, theology, and cultural issues. Join the conversation as the hosts emphasize Jesus' inclusive teachings and challenge the commodification of women within religious structures. We encourage you to engage the discussion on Facebook and Instagram, or share your thoughts in the comments below.

Today on Mea Culpa, I sit down with Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean at Yale School of Management, founder of the Chief Executive Leadership Institute, and author of the forthcoming book Trump's Ten Commandments, to examine Donald Trump's leadership style through the lens of corporate power and institutional behavior. An early critic dating back to The Apprentice, Sonnenfeld draws on decades of research on CEOs and crisis leadership, paired with my firsthand experience with Trump, to break down how he governs through intimidation, retaliation, and has an inability to accept loss. We explore why appeasement by universities, corporations, and civic institutions only accelerates democratic erosion, the risks of normalizing coercion, and whether collective resistance remains one of the most effective counterweights to abuse of power.

Conversation with Gemini You said podcast title and description for this segment: 00;00;00;00 - 00;00;07;02 Unknown Steve Cohen made it very clear there will never be a captain of the New York Mets as long as he owns the team. 00;00;07;05 - 00;00;32;13 Unknown And I said, hold that thought, because at 11:00, I want you to hear from both Lindor and Soto and maybe, maybe, maybe not. That comment from Cohen will make more sense, right? Because I listen to everything Lindor and Soto said over the weekend. And they sound very different. They are painting very, very different pictures right. So before I provide any more comment, let's hear from these guys. 00;00;32;19 - 00;00;56;08 Unknown Let's start with Francisco Lindor, who was asked a very simple question. Hey, what's up with the locker room? Francisco? There's been questions this offseason about chemistry on the on the team and in the clubhouse. Can you address that as far as guys getting along and and pulling for each other? Yeah I mean we've always proved for each other, we always wanted what's best for each other. 00;00;56;10 - 00;01;15;23 Unknown We all best friends that that's not how it works in the clubhouse. But we are friends. We're good teammates. We, care for each other. We love for each other. We love each other. And we want the best for each other, you know? And we have a lot of new faces here that, guys seemed like they're going to work hard and they're going to do whatever it takes to win. 00;01;15;24 - 00;01;33;18 Unknown You know, to me, that's what it comes down to is all about winning. And everybody pulling in the same direction. So he gives us the typical not all best friends, but we're friends. Yeah. Oh good. What's his by the way any clubhouse or locker room. Yeah. You don't have to be best friends with everybody. But just you have to be able to get along and work together. 00;01;33;18 - 00;01;53;08 Unknown And he makes clear that they did. Right. And so that there really doesn't appear to be any issues, according to Lindor about last year's locker room. Now, let's hear from one Soto first. Hey, one, what's your relationship like with Francisco Lindor? Because we heard so much about, hey, maybe those two don't get along. One how would you describe your relationship with Francisco Lindor? 00;01;53;10 - 00;02;16;06 Unknown I think it's a great relationship. We talk all the time in the game and everything. We help each other very quick answer, but to the point and like, yeah, it's all great. So so far everything is good, right? This is where things get a little murky. Soto is now asked about the locker room. Carlos, when those ads describe the clubhouse last year is maybe getting a little bit too corporate at times. 00;02;16;08 - 00;02;39;24 Unknown What was your perception of it? As in the past, we forget about it. We focus in 2026, focusing on 2026. How could you maybe prevent that from happening this time around? Have fun. Forget about all the drama and everything. Focus on the game and wins on ball games. Whoa. I mean, when you said forget about all the drama, right? 00;02;39;26 - 00;02;59;23 Unknown Isn't he confirming talking about. He's confirming that was drama. Well, he's but not necessarily will endure. No, I think I agree with you. I think that's what people wanted and immediately think about. But I think it was other drama, in fact, not even drama with him. I think it was drama that he was witnessing. Yeah, I think it has nothing to do with Lindor, honestly, because think about this. 00;02;59;23 - 00;03;17;03 Unknown Juan Soto gave you in those three answers, like pretty straightforwardness. There he is, though. Yeah, he's no beat around the bush. He's not going to fluff it up. He's going to tell you exactly what he thinks. So there were issues. I'm not going to talk about the drama that's in the past and let's just win games. Yet. When asked about Lindor, oh, it's all good. 00;03;17;05 - 00;0 ...

Patrick explores Catholic traditions and beliefs, answers questions about sacraments and the priesthood, and brings up the impact of family and faith in everyday moments. He breaks down myths around devotions, then contrasts Christianity and Islam on love and joy. Conversations turn personal, rich, and even surprising. Louise – Is Fr. Greg Boyle a Jesuit Priest? Do you know anything about this author? (00:31) Richard - My wife and I decided that she would stay home with my kids. My mom was always at work and sacrificed so much. I wanted something more for my kids. (03:41) Aymun – Priests seem to be a barrier to the Sacraments. Why can’t people give the Sacraments to each other? (08:09) Audrey - What is the Flame of Love Movement? (21:35) Dale - Is there any joy in Islam? (29:06) Audio: Islam’s global goal to dominate - Islam is not here to coexist. We were sent to dominate the world, to extinguish and wipe out every other religion. We are superior to everyone else. - https://x.com/realmaalouf/status/1991556460652675215?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (33:57) Tom – Is wearing a scapular an insurance policy? (37:28) John – Islam doesn’t take prisoners and they force everyone to take on their religion. (40:13) George – Why do Catholics who don't believe in the true presence receive the Eucharist but protestants that do believe in the true presence cannot receive? (44:34)

You're at a networking event and someone corners you. For the next ten minutes, they talk nonstop about their vacation, their dog, their new car. You're not having a conversation. You're trapped in their monologue. You're annoyed. You tune out. You start looking for the exit. That's exactly how your prospects feel when you make yourself the star of the conversation. What Is Sales Main Character Syndrome? Sales main character syndrome is when you position yourself as the hero instead of your prospect. You see it everywhere: On the phone: You launch into a five-minute pitch about your company history before asking a single question. In email: You send giant blocks of text about features without mentioning their actual problems. On LinkedIn: Your connect request immediately hits them with "Here's my product, here's my calendar link, let's meet." No matter the channel, it all leads back to the same place: your product, your company, your agenda. Prospects don't care about your product yet. They care about their problems, their goals, and what's at stake in their world. When you make it all about you, you trigger resistance. Buyers feel sold to instead of collaborated with. And that leads to ghosting, objections, and stalled deals. Nobody wants to sit through a feature dump. People need relevance. They want to feel heard and know you actually get them. The Real Cost of Sales Main Character Syndrome Sales main character syndrome has consequences that will wreck your quota. Prospects disengage. When you focus on yourself and your product instead of the buyer and their needs, they tune out. Calls feel like lectures. Emails read like brochures. Messages get deleted without a response. Lose their attention, and you've lost your shot. You miss the real opportunities. By making the interaction about yourself, you fail to ask the right questions. You don't hear what's actually going on in their world. You can't identify the true pain points, the real goals, or what's actually motivating them. So you pitch solutions that don't align with what they need. You waste discovery time chasing the wrong problems. Destroy trust before it's built. Your prospects stop seeing you as a helpful guide. Instead, you're just another salesperson pushing a product. Without trust, everything gets harder and long-term relationships become impossible. The cost is too high. So how do you flip the script? The Mindset Shift: From Hero to Trusted Guide Your job is to be a trusted guide, not the hero. Think Yoda, not Luke Skywalker. Your prospect is the hero of their own story. They're the ones facing the challenge, making the decision, and living with the outcome.  When prospects feel like the main character, they engage more. They open up. They trust you. And trust moves deals forward. Here's a simple three-step framework you can use in every conversation. Step #1: Change Your "I" to "Why" Stop starting conversations with: "I want to show you..." "I'd love to introduce..." "I think you'll like..." Your buyers don't care about your "I." They care about their “why.” Why should this matter to them? Why is it relevant right now? Why does it solve a problem they're actually facing? Lead with "why," and the focus shifts from your agenda to their reality. You'll stop sounding like a salesperson and start being seen as someone who understands their world. Before: "I'd love to show you our new platform and walk you through all the features we've built." After: “Companies in your industry are losing 20% of their pipeline to manual data entry errors. Here's how to fix that." One is about you. The other is about them. Step #2: Define What You Solve, Not What You Sell Most salespeople can rattle off what they sell. A platform. A service. A software solution. That's not what your buyer cares about. Buyers don't wake up thinking, "I need a new vendor today." They wake up thinking, "I need to fix this problem that's making my life harder." When you define the problem you solve instead of the product you sell, you build immediate value. You position yourself as a partner in their success, not just another pitch in their inbox. Product-focused: "We're a sales engagement platform with email sequencing, call tracking, and analytics." Problem-focused: "We help sales teams stop losing deals to slow follow-up and inconsistent outreach." Stop leading with what you sell and start leading with what you solve. Conversations convert faster when prospects see themselves in the problem you're addressing. Step #3: Listen to Hear, Not to Respond The biggest mistake in sales? Listening just long enough to jump in with your answer. Most reps wait for their turn to talk. They're mentally preparing the pitch while the buyer is still speaking. It feels efficient. It's actually ineffective. Listening to hear means shutting up long enough to understand. You catch the nuance. You pick up on the emotion. You uncover the hidden pain points that competitors miss because they're too busy pitching. Slow down. Tune in. Let your buyer feel heard. That's when trust starts to build and when real opportunity opens up. Your Challenge: Put It Into Practice This Week The shift from sales main character syndrome to trusted guide isn't complicated. But it does require awareness and intention. You have to catch yourself when you're about to launch into your standard pitch. Pause and ask, "Am I making this about me or about them?" Your prospect is the hero. Your job is to guide them to success. Make it about them. Lead with relevance. Listen deeply. Watch what happens when you get this right. Because the most successful salespeople aren't trying to be impressive. They're trying to be useful. Make your prospect the main character in every conversation. Do it consistently, and you won't have to chase attention. You'll earn it. -- Stop getting tuned out. Download the Free ACED Buyer Style Playbook and learn how to speak your buyer's language.

Maybe you're chatting with a coworker and you actually have work to do. Well, we usually end a conversation with soft, natural phrases to signal that the conversation is ending. We ease out of it.

We communicate every day, yet we rarely stop to think about what we are actually doing when we enter a conversation. In this episode, Trisha and Elissa explore the basics of communication through a simple but powerful metaphor: conversation as a game of catch. What does it mean to throw well? To catch well? To take turns? To play generously? Together they unpack how conversations flow, how they break down, and how we can become more mindful, generous participants in the everyday exchanges that shape our relationships at work, at home, and in our communities.   Conversation Overview Conversation as a game of catch Throwing and catching: sending and receiving skills Interrupting, over-talking, and holding the ball Asking good questions and keeping the game moving Generosity, anxiety, and when catch turns into dodgeball Staying in the game instead of taking the ball home   Guest Bio Elissa Lappenga is a professional educator, trainer, and coach with over 20 years of experience in education, non-profit, corporate, and community settings.

This is an episode all about the hard stuff. Politics. Disagreement on tour. Tour sites where the truth itself is in debate. Confronting places with complicated, dark histories.Most of the advice out there is: avoid this stuff at all costs. People just want to have fun, they're on vacation. Guides should stick to the script and make sure they don't say something that upsets the guests. I'm not here as a tour guide to shove my opinions down everyone's throats. Can't we all just get along? Can't we just keep the discourse civil?Our guest this week, Mike Fishback, is a middle-school humanities educator and curriculum designer who thinks this instinct is exactly the problem. "Civil discourse" isn't about keeping things polite — it's about strategies for engaging with and managing disagreement and difficulty in learning situations, like a tour. Mike learned through experience that it's unwise to sit back, cross your fingers, and hope you don't upset a guest. That there are powerful ways to lean into difficult topics that make the whole experience more meaningful — intentionally creating dialogue through artful questioning and participatory techniques. And he has the educational frameworks and two decades of lived experience to back every word of it up.Mike also happens to have spent years as a client of mine — I was the tour guide for his group of middle schoolers on trips to New York and DC, and I saw firsthand how he engaged his students with really meaty, difficult topics in a way that didn't shut them down but fired them up.The lessons here aren't for kids. They're for everyone. And if you've ever told yourself that your job is just to deliver the facts and keep things light, this conversation might be the most useful hour you spend all week.More takeaways and show notes on tourpreneur.com

Residency is one of the most profound life-changing seasons in a physician's journey—a time of rapid growth, deep uncertainty, and one of the biggest decisions of all: what comes next. In this unique collaborative episode, host Dr. Dael Waxman is joined by Charles Lowry, Director of Graduate Medical Education Relations at PracticeLink and host of the Surviving and Thriving in Residency podcast. Rather than a traditional interview, Dr. Waxman and Charlie engage in a shared conversation about the critical inflection points they've witnessed in medical students and residents. They explore the hidden struggles beneath the confident exterior—the loneliness, the imposter syndrome, the career uncertainty—and the powerful role that connection, validation, and intentional support can play. Together, they uncover how coaching and career resources can help residents move from survival mode to intentional choice, and why finding your "people" is essential for a sustainable, fulfilling career in medicine. Key Topics Discussed: Charlie's journey from statewide campus director for medical students to his current role supporting residents nationwide. The vulnerability and openness residents show when given a safe, non-evaluative space to share their struggles. The hidden stressors of residency: loneliness, lack of family support, and the challenge of being an international medical graduate. How PracticeLink serves as a free, comprehensive career resource for residents, from CV reviews to scholarships. The role of coaching in addressing imposter syndrome, leadership challenges, and the transition from training to practice. Why career uncertainty is a major driver of stress and well-being issues. Practical advice for residents: take advantage of free resources, find your community, and remember that residency is just one chapter. What gives both Dr. Waxman and Charlie hope about the next generation of physicians. Guest Information: Mr. Charles Lowry, Director of Graduate Medical Education Relations, PracticeLink.

Executive coach, image consultant, and author Kathryn Lowell joins Howard Schweitzer, chief executive officer of Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies, for a conversation on leading with presence and trust in moments of uncertainty. Kathryn explores how trust is built by “going first,” what it means to project presence without proximity, and why human skills like listening and intuition matter more than ever in today's workplace. Together, they examine how leaders can serve as a steadying force for their teams, balancing authenticity and authority in a world shaped by simultaneous technological, economic, and political disruption.

Stress is a very real part of our lives. How we manage stress can have healthy or unhealthy consequences. Fortunately, one tool we should be using to soothe stress in one another is stress-reducing conversations. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Kaleb Beyer, Craig Stickling, and Brian Sutter explain how to have these purposeful conversations.     Show notes:  What is stress-related conversation?  A conversation that has at its purpose the intention of soothing the emotions in a stress heightened individual and thereby reducing their stress levels.  What qualities are present in stress-reducing conversation?  Active listening, attending presence, non-judgement, non-criticizing, empathetic agreement.  What should your posture be for being a stress-reducing partner in a conversation?  Have an eye towards being on the same team with the other.  What are some different applied contexts for stress-reducing conversations?  Marriage: Look for them with your spouse if you are married. Family: Look for them with your kids if you are a parent. Neighbors: Look for them with community members.   What good are stress-reducing conversations beyond reducing stress?  Stress-reducing conversations build the safety to eventually step into conversations with other purposes such as conflict resolution or corrective conversations.  How do I carry out stress-reducing conversations when I disagree with the person that has heightened stress?  Separate the matter of disagreement from the person. Connect with the person first. Then when safety is achieved and we are on a team together, voicing disagreement can happen in effective ways.   What makes stress-reducing conversations difficult?  Fixating on accuracy.  Fixating on solutions.  Inability to detect emotions.  Inability to stay present with a person.   What does it mean to be intentional with stress-reducing conversations?  Have conversations with the express purpose to be stress relieving. Select topics thoughtfully that you can be "on the same team" about.   What is at stake if loved ones don't engage each other in stress-reducing conversations?  We might look for stress-reducing conversations from unsafe sources such as AI or other people. 

What do you do when your adult child starts making choices you don't agree with, and your heart feels torn between truth, fear, and unconditional love?In this episode, I'm speaking directly to Christian mothers who are navigating the emotional weight of parenting adult children. Maybe you raised them in church. You prayed. You taught them the Word. And now, their decisions around faith, relationships, lifestyle, or priorities look nothing like what you hoped or expected.Sis, you're not alone, and you're not failing.We talk honestly about how to respond when you disagree with your adult child's choices without damaging the relationship or compromising your faith. This conversation will help you move from anxiety to peace, from control to trust, and from fear to faith

China's antitrust regime has evolved rapidly over the past decade. What role does economic analysis play in the actual enforcement? Anora Wang and Kathleen Hu speak with Dr. Vanessa Zhang of Compass Lexecon about the growing role of economic analysis in Chinese competition law, drawing on her experience advising China's antitrust authority and serving as a testifying expert in high-stakes cases. The conversation explores how economic evidence is developed, evaluated, and increasingly relied upon in China's evolving antitrust regime.

What if the most powerful skill in your business is not pitching, persuading, or presenting… but listening?In this episode, John and Rich break down why elite entrepreneurs and coaches treat listening as a strategic advantage. From boardrooms to client calls to personal relationships, the ability to truly hear what is being said, and what is not being said, can change everything.They share practical tools you can implement immediately: pausing before responding, validating what you heard, asking better follow up questions, taking notes to stay present, and recognizing patterns over time. They also unpack real challenges founders face, especially mental drifting during virtual meetings and missing key nonverbal cues.If you want to build stronger trust, make better decisions, and communicate at a higher level, this conversation will sharpen one of the most overlooked skills in entrepreneurship.Listen in and ask yourself: are you really listening, or just waiting to talk?

Ever catch your mind replaying a cringe moment on loop? We take you inside that spiral and show how mindfulness breaks the pattern—not by arguing with thoughts, but by starving the loop of fuel and returning attention to the raw, steadying details of the present moment. Instead of wrestling with the inner critic, we practice kind curiosity and let the body lead the way back to clarity.Across this focused, guided session, we map the hallmarks of rumination—repetition without resolution, shrinking perspective, and rising tension—and explain why the brain confuses looping with problem solving. Then we offer a step‑by‑step reset that anyone can try on a commute, in bed, or during a stressful workday: feel gravity where your body meets the chair or floor, listen for the rhythm of sound without chasing its source, open to the colors and light in your field of view, and notice texture and temperature on the skin. As attention reconnects with the senses, muscles soften, breath evens, and new angles on the same situation emerge.You'll hear how this shift reduces the power of harsh self‑talk and creates conditions for wiser choices—like making an apology, adjusting a plan, or simply letting go. The aim isn't to silence the mind forever; it's to relate to thoughts differently, with gentleness and precision, so they lose their grip. If you've felt stuck in overthinking, this practice offers a grounded path out of the loop and back into the world right in front of you.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who overthinks, and leave a quick review with one insight you're taking into your week.

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, this course unfolds as a self-paced, introspective expedition into reality creation, aiding you in elevating your consciousness to what's referred to as the God Mode. Throughout this journey, practical tools will be provided daily to help enrich your life with more love, money, and success by altering your mental models and perceptions. This course combines theory and hands-on experience to create a unique deep dive into manifestation, consciousness, and reality creation.

Today I'm joined by Dr Courtney Raspin, a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Clinical Director of Altum Health, a specialist eating disorders and mental health clinic in London. Courtney has over 25 years of clinical experience, including a decade in one of the NHS's largest eating disorder services.She's just co-authored a book called The Weight Loss Prescription with psychiatrist Dr Max Pemberton (available 26th Feb!) - a book about the psychology of GLP-1 weight loss medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro. Given her background in eating disorders, Courtney has a nuanced perspective on weight loss medications, which I think is really important to hear.If you're in eating disorder recovery and feeling unsettled by the rise of GLP-1 medications… if you've noticed feelings of jealousy, confusion or fear around them… or if you're trying to understand where health support ends and diet culture begins, this conversation is for you.Key Takeaways:How Courtney's work in eating disorders shaped her approach to weight managementThe warning signs of high drive for thinnessWhy weight loss doesn't automatically improve body imageThe difference between body neutrality and body positivityWhy GLP-1 medications aren't inherently harmfulThe risks of unregulated access, online prescribing, and counterfeit medicationThe various causes of “food noise” and why GLP-1 medications may helpWhat psychological support in weight management actually involvesCourtney's guidance on GLP-1s and eating disorder recoveryTimestamps:00:00 Courtney's journey into weight management05:00 Body neutrality and realistic body image work08:30 Understanding GLP-1s: benefits, risks and misconceptions12:00 Food noise and why context matters16:00 The psychological work behind lasting change21:00 Health vs the thin ideal27:00 Tensions within the ED field and professional responses31:30 What to consider before starting GLP-1s34:30 Courtney's book and final adviceResources & LinksFollow @drcourtneyraspin on InstagramConnect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans PodcastFollow Full of Beans on InstagramCheck out our websiteListen on YouTube⚠️ Trigger Warning: Mentions of eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating), restriction, weight loss, GLP-1 medications, and body image.
