Podcasts about Crutch

We don't really block people. We block parts of ourselves we don't know how to face. Every time you press “block,” you're engaging in a ritual—one that masquerades as empowerment but may, in truth, reflect a deeper spiritual amnesia. 

For most of her life, Jiyoung An believed her struggles came down to laziness or lack of effort. Even after her ADHD diagnosis less than a year ago, she questioned whether she was just making excuses and using ADHD “as a crutch.”In this week's episode, Jiyoung shares how her perspective has changed. She's unlearning internalized shame and now sees her brain for what it truly is: different, not broken. Related resourcesWhat is growth mindset?What does thriving with ADHD actually look like?Timestamps(00:00) Intro(00:46) What was happening before Jiyoung sought out an ADHD evaluation this year?(03:00) Jiyoung's 3 different psychiatrists' opinions(04:24) Falling into hustle culture before diagnosis, and being hard on herself(07:24) Jiyoung's journey to accepting her ADHD label(11:07) How frustrating it can be to not have solutions to all of her ADHD challenges(13:08) Perfectionism and comparing yourself to others(16:50) Jiyoung's experience growing up with undiagnosed ADHD(19:25) Noticing ADHD in her little sister(21:22) What ADHD traits Jiyoung struggles with the most(25:08) CreditsWe love hearing from our listeners!

✦ When City Lights Collective co-host Jon Goode was told that High Bias is a good thing, he wasn't entirely sure what that meant. So, he decided to go to Block and Drum on a Wednesday night to find out for himself. Created by STLNDRMS, High Bias is a deep listening experience. Each week, they explore the highest level of music curation in a room designed for true fidelity. A fully treated space, an uncompromising sound system, and a focused audience. No distractions, just music presented with intention. ✦ WABE arts reporter Summer Evans brings us a story about the Atlanta creative writing organization “Lost in the Letters,” which recently announced they are opening a studio in Candler Park. What began in 2012 as a quarterly reading and workshop series, has become the annual Letters Festival, which brings together literary enthusiasts for workshops, nightly readings, and live events. Now, the organization has found a permanent space to bring accessible programs and resources to people seeking creative writing opportunities. ✦ Songwriter, producer, and studio artist K Michelle Dubois has been making music in Atlanta for over three decades, most recently as a solo act but previously with bands such as Ultrababyfat and Luigi. Dubois’s newest album, “Infinity Sandwich,” drops this Friday, and she’ll celebrate with a release party at the EARL on Saturday. City Lights Collective co-host Kim Drobes recently caught up with Dubois to discuss the new album, her creative process, and how she helped us launch The City Lights Collective with a bang. Did we mention Dubois wrote our new theme music? ✦ Luenell, an entertainment veteran known to her fans as "The Original Bad Girl of Comedy," has been making audiences laugh for nearly three decades with her appearances onstage, as well as in TV shows like "Hacks," and the upcoming Tracey Morgan sitcom, "Crutch."

Send us a message (& include the best way to reach you)Remember that feeling when your morning coffee stops working? When three cups barely get you through lunch, yet you still crash at 2:30 PM? That's not just fatigue—it's central nervous system burnout.I know because I lived it. My morning ritual of coffee became a pot-a-day necessity just to function at a basic level. I was constantly wired yet paradoxically exhausted—what functional health practitioners call the "wired and tired" phenomenon. This wasn't sustainable energy; it was borrowed energy with compounding interest.The science is clear: caffeine triggers stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) while blocking adenosine, your natural sleep signal. This creates a vicious cycle—artificial energy spikes, poor sleep, depleted natural energy, and an increasing dependency on caffeine. Eventually, your body's natural rhythm becomes completely inverted.The good news? Your energy system can be rebuilt. Through functional lab testing that reveals your actual cortisol patterns, strategic sleep optimization, adrenal support with adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola, and circadian anchoring practices like morning sunlight exposure, you can break free from caffeine dependency without giving up coffee entirely.This episode walks you through the five telltale signs of caffeine dependency, explains the science of what's happening to your nervous system, and provides a practical three-step framework for rebuilding sustainable energy. Because true high performance isn't about pushing harder—it's about creating balance that allows your natural vitality to flourish.Ready to stop borrowing tomorrow's energy to get through today?

In this episode, I answer a question from a mom navigating intense bedtime struggles with her highly anxious daughter. When emotions escalate and her child feels panicked or overwhelmed, she questions whether enforcing boundaries might seem insensitive. I break down what's really going on—how anxiety drives a need for control—and why bedtime often becomes the battleground. Using child-centered strategies, I walk through how to respond in ways that honor both the child's emotions and the parent's need for structure, sleep, and sanity. I explain how to set compassionate boundaries, return responsibility, and use empowering choices to build your child's resilience and coping skills—without fueling the cycle of dependence.

"How are you using AI in med school?" That's the question Dave posed to his co-hosts this week. Near-M3s Fallon Jung and Amanda Litka and almost-PA3 Julie Vuong discuss AI-fueled study sessions, and Dave points out a Google tool that turns docs into knowledge. They talk about what helps, what haunts, and what might accidentally erase their clinical instincts. Meanwhile, Fallon admits to looking to a robot to plan a bachelorette party. Amanda wants to ditch the white coat. And strong mints and clementines are the secret to surviving 3AM bowel resections. Also on the docket: what they've learned in their first few months seeing patients, OB night shift scaries, and which specialist they'd rather be stranded on an island with.

Are you struggling with how to stop using alcohol as a crutch when it's all you've ever known for comfort, confidence, or escape? When alcohol becomes the go-to for numbing pain, soothing nerves, or simply making it through the day, letting it go can feel like losing a lifeline. Mark leaned on alcohol to suppress decades of emotional trauma and mask neurodivergent traits that made emotional expression difficult. Glenn turned to beer as a buffer against social anxiety and the constant pressure to fit in, using it to quiet a mind that never stopped spinning. In this episode, Coaches Hayley and Ruby help both men uncover the deeper beliefs that shaped their drinking behaviors—and explore how discovering healthier emotional tools can lead not just to freedom from alcohol, but to a more grounded, present, and emotionally connected life. In Mark's session: Exploring childhood trauma and emotional suppression The connection between neurodiversity and alcohol reliance Why alcohol became a long-term emotional safety blanket How to stop using alcohol as a crutch and find new emotional tools Body scan practices to access suppressed feelings Visualization and the emotion wheel as tools for emotional insight The difference between masking emotions vs. processing them Recognizing progress even when it doesn't look like expected healing Finding alternative ways to self-soothe and cope and more… In Glenn's session: Growing up in a home where alcohol was a symbol of adulthood Using beer to manage social anxiety and introversion The rise in drinking during isolation and how it became a daily habit How to stop using alcohol as a crutch for connection and calm The emotional highs and lows of early alcohol-free living Discovering joy in ordinary moments and accepting melancholy Letting go of perfection in mindfulness and meditation Rewriting social rules and embracing introversion Building confidence through small steps and self-acceptance and other topics… Hayley Scherders is a certified TNM Coach with training from the Canadian Addiction and Mental Health Association.

In this deep and often humorous debate, Barry Loewer of Rutgers and Eddy Chen of UC San Diego clash over the very nature of physical reality. Are the laws of nature real, mind independent constraints that shape what's possible or are they human made descriptions of observed patterns? Together they explore metaphysics, causation, probability, and whether the universe is truly ruled by anything at all. A must watch for anyone questioning the foundations of science itself.

Activity is a component to hide and show parts of the UI while maintaining the component's state and continuing to render at a lower priority when it's not visible on screen.Storybook 9 beta is out now, and it seems to be transitioning from a frontend workshop for building UI components in isolation to a one-stop shop for all your frontend testing needs.And Microsoft recently released a paper from researchers at Cambridge and Carnegie Mellon studying how AI coding assistants have allowed developers to engage in less critical thinking and independent problem-solving, and how the skills to do both could deteriorate if this over-reliance on AI continues unchecked.News:Paige - Storybook 9 betaJack - React TJ - The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking and Avoiding Skill Atrophy in the Age of AIBonus News:Ladybird new independent web browserMTMC-16Apple changes App Store rules to allow external purchasesWhat Makes Us Happy this Week:Paige - The Night Manager seriesJack - RaycastTJ - Linkin Park World TourThanks as always to our sponsor, the Blue Collar Coder channel on YouTube.

The episode concludes with reflections on the insights shared and an invitation for further discussion.Keywordscoaching, accountability, dependency, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, client empowerment, coaching relationships, personal growth, positive psychology, emotional well-beingTakeawaysA happy new year signifies a year full of life experiences.Accountability in coaching can lead to dependency if not managed properly.Creating a crutch for clients can hinder their growth.Healthy accountability helps clients develop independence.Intrinsic motivation is key to long-term success in coaching.Coaching should empower clients to become their own coaches.The relationship between coach and client should be a partnership, not a dependency.Systems can help create accountability without relying solely on the coach.Understanding intrinsic motivation can enhance coaching effectiveness.Secure attachment in coaching fosters a healthier relationship.Chapters00:00 New Beginnings and Reflections on Happiness03:01 The Accountability Dilemma in Coaching06:04 Exploring Dependency and Client Empowerment08:59 Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation11:58 The Nature of Coaching Relationships24:01 Closing Thoughts and Future Conversations____If you'd like to stay up to date with new episodes, continue the conversation or generally support what we do: Send us your question: http://bit.ly/talkingaboutcoachingSign up to our mailing list (no spam, no sales, just a quick shout about new episodes): https://rocketsupervision.com/talking-about-coaching/Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG2cSupport the show

In this episode of The Next Level Hope and Fitness Podcast, Craig and I kick things off with an unexpected conversation that had us both literally in tears—like, the kind where your stomach hurts from laughing too hard. We're pretty sure you'll get a good laugh along with us before we shift gears into something that really matters: accountability. We break down a hard truth—no matter who's holding you accountable, at some point, you have to care that they're holding you accountable. Coaches can try all the tactics in the world, but until the client actually wants to be held accountable, nothing will change. Accountability is the crutch that helps you make things happen—but only if you care enough to let it work. If you've ever struggled with staying consistent, following through, or making lasting changes, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn: Why accountability only works if you care Different ways coaches try to hold clients accountable The mindset shift that turns accountability into a game-changer Why external motivation will only take you so far Get ready for some laughs, some tough love, and some serious truth bombs about what it really takes to level up.   Interested in working with a coach?

Embrace the demotion1 Corinthians 1:26-27Brothers and sisters, consider your calling: Not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. II. Kill your pride 1 Corinthians 1:28-29God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world—what is viewed as nothing—to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence.III.    Make Jesus famous1 Corinthians 1:30-31It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us—our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption —in order that, as it is written: Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.Next Steps:  Believe: I need Jesus to give me new life today.  Become: I need the Holy Spirit to help kill my pride this week. Be Sent: I will put Christ's strength on display this weekDiscussion Questions:  How would you respond to someone who claims that faith is a crutch for weak people?  How often did you reflect on yourself compared to thinking about God yesterday? Provide a ratio.  In which areas of your life are you most likely to take pride?  How can you surrender that area of your life to Christ?  Does boasting in Christ mean you cannot feel good about your successes?  When did you have the opportunity to make Christ famous last week? How did it go? Pray for the Holy Spirit to teach us humility this week.

THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta In 2008, mass murderer Jason Voorhees gets captured by the United States government and held at the Crystal Lake Research Facility. By 2010, after numerous failed attempts to kill Jason, government scientist Rowan LaFontaine, head of the facility, suggests putting him in cryogenic stasis. Dr. Wimmer and Sergeant Marcus arrive with soldiers, hoping to further research Jason's ability to heal from lethal wounds, as they believe it involves rapid cellular regeneration that can be replicated. Jason breaks free of his restraints and murders the soldiers and Dr. Wimmer. Rowan lures him into a cryogenic pod, but he ruptures the pod with his machete, stabbing her in the abdomen. Cryogenic fluid spills into the sealed room, freezing them both. In the year 2455, Earth is too polluted to support life and humans have moved to a new planet, Earth II. On a field trip to Earth I, Professor Brandon Lowe, his android companion KM-14, intern Adrienne Thomas, and students Tsunaron, Janessa, Azrael, Kinsa, Waylander, and Stoney explore the abandoned Crystal Lake Research Facility, finding the frozen Jason and Rowan. They bring them aboard their spaceship, the Grendel, and revive Rowan while leaving Jason in the morgue, believing him to be dead. Adrienne is ordered to dissect Jason's body but Rowan warns them of the danger, revealing Jason's nature and superhuman abilities. Lowe, who is in serious debt, calls his financial backer Dieter Perez on the nearby space station Solaris. Perez recognizes Jason's name and notes his body could interest a collector. While Stoney and Kinsa have sex, Jason awakens and attacks Adrienne, freezing her face with liquid nitrogen before smashing her head to pieces on a counter. Jason takes a machete-shaped surgical tool and kills Stoney in front of Kinsa. Sergeant Brodski leads a group of soldiers to attack Jason. Jason interrupts a projected holographic game, breaking Azrael's back and bashing crewman Dallas's skull in. He tries to attack engineer Crutch, but Brodski and his soldiers arrive. After Brodski splits up his team, Jason kills them one by one. Lowe orders pilot Lou to dock at Solaris. Jason kills Lou and the ship crashes through Solaris, destroying it. Jason breaks into the lab, reclaims his machete and decapitates Lowe. With the Grendel crippled, the survivors head for a shuttle while Tsunaron upgrades KM-14. After crew member Crutch is electrocuted by Jason, Kinsa attempts to escape on her own, but forgets to release the shuttle's fuel lines, causing it to crash into the ship and explode, thus incinerating Kinsa. Tsunaron reappears with an upgraded KM-14 who wields weapons and combat skills to stand a better chance against Jason. After having his right arm, left leg, right ribs, and part of his head blasted off by KM-14, Jason's body is knocked into a nanite-equipped medical station. The survivors send a distress call, then set explosive charges to separate the ship's undamaged pontoon from the main section. The medical station nanites rebuild Jason, who becomes a cyborg. With his new strength, Jason easily defeats KM-14 by punching her head off. As Tsunaron recovers her still-functioning head, Jason is stopped by Waylander, who sacrifices himself by setting off the charges while the others escape. Jason survives and punches a hole through the hull, causing Janessa to die in the vacuum. A power failure with the docking door forces Brodski to go outside in an EVA suit to fix it.

Comfort & Affliction, Week 1 of 3 from February 16th, 2025 “Affliction teaches us to rely on God and comfort others." 2 Corinthians 1:1-11 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)SUMMARYThis sermon explores the relationship between comfort and affliction in the Christian life, drawing from Paul's letter to the Corinthians. It emphasizes that God's comfort doesn't eliminate affliction but teaches believers to rely on God and comfort others. Pastor Michael challenges the notion that faith is merely a crutch, arguing instead that it provides real hope and strength in times of difficulty. He highlights God's nature as merciful and comforting, and encourages gratitude for God's mercies even in challenging times.REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
