Podcasts about discomfort

Send me a some feedback!A clear and powerful vision does more than give you something to work toward. It gives meaning and purpose to the discomfort you'll inevitably experience while creating something you've never experienced before. Growth requires unfamiliar territory, and unfamiliar territory creates discomfort. The question is whether you have a vision powerful enough to make that discomfort worth moving through. In this episode, Mike shares how his vision of becoming a United States Marine carried him through the pain and chaos of boot camp, how the nervous system adapts as unfamiliar experiences become familiar, and how Viktor Frankl's work helped him connect meaning, purpose, vision, and our willingness to endure difficult circumstances. Ultimately, playing offense with your life means getting clear about what you came here to experience, create, and become—and becoming willing to move through the discomfort required to create it.  Key Takeaways1. A Powerful Vision Gives Discomfort Meaning When you are deeply clear about what you want to create, become, or experience, discomfort becomes part of the journey toward something that matters. Vision gives you a reason to keep moving when growth gets uncomfortable.2. Growth Requires You to Make the Unfamiliar Familiar Your nervous system naturally feels safer in circumstances it already knows. Repeated exposure to new experiences allows your body to adapt until what once created intense discomfort becomes something you can handle.3. Comfort and Growth Require Different Choices Creating expanded circumstances requires doing things you haven't done before. If you continually retreat when discomfort appears, you return to what is familiar instead of continuing toward what you want.4. Meaning and Purpose Change What You Are Willing to Endure Mike connects his experience in Marine Corps boot camp with Viktor Frankl's observations about meaning, purpose, and the human will to continue through extraordinarily difficult circumstances. When you have something meaningful on the other side of the discomfort, the discomfort itself has purpose.5. Playing Offense Requires Clarity and Willingness Playing defense means organizing your life around avoiding negative circumstances and internal discomfort. Playing offense means getting clear about what you want to experience, create, and become—and becoming willing to move through the discomfort required to create it.  Notable Quotes“A powerful and clear vision for who you're becoming, what you intend to experience, for wherever you intend, the quality of life you intend to create, for the, anything you intend to accomplish or accumulate. A clear and powerful vision will help you find meaning and purpose in all of the discomfort and pain required to experience it.”“The more familiar circumstances become, the more regulated your nervous system begins to feel in them and begins to experience them. So the same thing that causes discomfort on day one doesn't even move anything inside of you on day 90.”“What we need to do, is to find meaning, and purpose in that discomfort, so that you move into and through to discomfort, towards something unfamiliar, to something new, and to expanded circumstances.”“In order to master this, the creation process, in order to experience something brand new, something new, something expanded, something even better than what you're experiencing right now, you must be willing to face and endure discomfort and pain.”“The willingness and the ability to feel and move into that discomfort and pain is gonna separate someone who's playing offense in life from someone who's playing defense.”    Call to ActionTake some time today and get clear about the dream that's in your heart. What do you want to experience? What do you want to create? Who do you want to become? And what discomfort might you need to become willing to move through in order to experience it?If you're ready to get clear about what you want and start playing offense with your life, connect with me through www.InnerWealthGlobal.com or email me directly at Mike@InnerWealthGlobal.com.Mike's Media:Website: https://www.innerwealthglobal.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikekitkoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mike_kitkoTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mikekitkoSubscribe to my YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mikekitkoMusic Credit: "What's Left of Me" by Wes Hoffman & Friends

Week 5 — The Compound Effect: Small Practices, Powerful ChangeWhat if changing how you feel in your body doesn't require one enormous breakthrough?What if meaningful change begins with something much smaller?A moment of awareness.A gentler movement.A pause before reacting.A little more curiosity and a little less judgement.Welcome to the final episode of Somatic in September.Over the past few weeks, Heidi Hadley has taken us on a journey through the Australian landscape to explore the remarkable relationship between your brain, body and nervous system.We've stood beneath the ancient trees of the rainforest and explored resilience.We've travelled beneath the surface of the Great Barrier Reef to discover the importance of interconnection.We've encountered the crocodile and considered the protective wisdom of the nervous system.And we've stepped away from the noise to rediscover stillness, connection and presence.Now, in our final episode, we bring everything together with one powerful idea:Small practices, repeated consistently, can create powerful change.

Emma challenges listeners to examine why they feel stuck in their fitness and nutrition journeys. The core idea: we often become more loyal to the discomfort we already know than to the goals we say we want. Emma breaks down how the brain's craving for predictability keeps us repeating familiar but unhelpful patterns, why discomfort exists on both sides of every meaningful decision, and how taking action — not waiting for confidence — is what actually creates change. She closes with three reflection questions to help listeners identify their familiar discomfort, name the new discomfort they've been avoiding, and commit to one small, repeatable action.Apply for coaching Join the Monthly Membership Join the waitlist for the next ChallengeHAPI supplements (Final Sale: up to 70% off!)Submit a question for the podcast The EmPowered Community free Facebook group Follow Emma on InstagramFollow Emma on Facebook

Brigham Young University professor and religious folklorist Christopher Blythe discusses the nature of revelation, spiritual manifestations, and claims to mysticism within Latter-day Saint history and culture. The conversation examines how members and leaders can evaluate personal spiritual experiences, navigate claims of revelation that exceed proper authority, and guard against deceptive influences or speculative practices. Dr. Christopher Blythe is an assistant professor of English at BYU, where he teaches courses on folklore, myth, and Latter-day Saint literature. He holds a PhD in American Religion from Florida State University, an MA in History from Utah State University, and a BA in Religious Studies from Utah State University. Professionally, Dr. Blythe has worked extensively as a religious folklorist and historian, including previous roles with the Joseph Smith Papers Project, the Church History Department, and as a research associate at the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship. He is also the author of Terrible Revolution: Latter-day Saints and the American Apocalypse, a study on millenarianism and lay visions in Church history. As a convert who joined the Church at age 13, Dr. Blythe's research centers on “vernacular religion”—exploring how everyday members live, share, and interpret their faith on the ground. Over the years, he has served in various Church callings, including as a missionary in West Virginia, a high priest group leader, and in various local leadership and teaching assignments. He resides in Utah with his family, where he also co-hosts online content exploring Latter-day Saint history and folklore.

Hierarchy and Bounds of Revelation: Early Church history, such as the 1830 revelation regarding Hiram Page's seer stone (D&C 28), established the fundamental principle that while all members are entitled to personal revelation for their own spheres, only the head of the Church receives revelation to direct the Church as a whole. Trying the Spirits: Grounded in early revelations (such as D&C 50 and 52), leaders and members are instructed to “try the spirits” to ensure spiritual manifestations align with standard Church doctrine, priesthood channels, and sound judgment rather than self-serving claims or deceptive influences. Mysticism vs. Daily Discipleship: Spiritual trump cards or over-mystifying administrative decisions can lead to manipulation or unrealistic expectations. True spiritual grounding often manifests in consistent, daily acts of service and devotion—particularly within the family—rather than sensational claims. Historical Warnings Against Deception: Historical declarations, such as the 1913 First Presidency statement on the “Dream Mine,” warn against individuals using claims of visions, dreams, or private revelations to induce members into financial schemes, speculative ventures, or movements that undermine established priesthood authority. Leadership Applications Guiding Council Dynamics: Leaders can prevent individuals from using “spiritual trump cards” (e.g., claiming a strong spiritual feeling to override council discussions) by maintaining that decisions should be made through open, prayerful deliberation under proper priesthood keys. Handling Boundary-Crossing Claims: When members present private revelations intended to direct others, advise the ward, or promote speculative groups, leaders can refer to foundational principles of stewardship to gently clarify that personal inspiration applies only within one’s assigned sphere or family. Reframing Calls and Service: Leaders can help members focus on covenant-keeping and everyday Christlike living, reducing the cultural tendency to view callings or leadership roles through an ego-driven or hyper-mystical lens.

Life rarely hands us a clear roadmap. Sometimes everything looks good on the outside, yet something still feels missing. Sometimes the people we love make choices we don't understand. And sometimes the hardest part of connection is knowing when to speak, when to listen, and when simply to be present. In this special Sitting Down with Dr. Dan episode, producer Amber Miller joins Dr. Dan to bring listener questions directly to the conversation. Together, they explore some of the complicated situations that so many of us quietly navigate every day—from searching for greater meaning and supporting adult children to relationship trust, grief, and staying connected with teenagers. Dr. Dan discusses why uncomfortable feelings can be invitations to greater self-awareness and growth, and why gratitude doesn't require us to ignore the parts of our lives asking for attention. He encourages listeners to create enough quiet to hear what he calls the “stirrings of the soul” and to have the courage to consider what they may need more—or less—of in their lives. The conversation also examines parenting across different stages of life. When adult children struggle or make choices we disagree with, Dr. Dan emphasizes maintaining connection, listening without immediately offering advice, and respecting their agency. With teenagers, he reminds parents that growing independence does not necessarily mean the relationship is disappearing. Presence still matters, even when conversations happen less frequently or entirely on the teenager's terms. When it comes to relationships, Dr. Dan explores integrity, trust, and what he calls “inner honesty and outer honesty.” Difficult conversations may be uncomfortable, but avoiding them can slowly undermine connection. Authenticity begins with being willing to tell ourselves the truth before asking someone else to do the same. The episode also offers compassionate guidance for supporting someone through grief. There may be no perfect words and no way to remove another person's pain. Instead of disappearing because we don't know what to say, Dr. Dan encourages simple, genuine presence and specific offers of support. Across every listener question, one theme emerges: life is less about simply getting through difficult experiences and more about learning how to navigate them with awareness, compassion, courage, and connection. KEY TAKEAWAYS Listen when something feels missing. Discomfort can signal an opportunity for reflection, growth, and meaningful change. Connection matters more than unsolicited advice. With adult children, staying present and listening can preserve the relationship while respecting their independence. Integrity starts with honesty. Healthy relationships require both inner honesty with ourselves and honest communication with others. You don't need perfect words for grief. Genuine presence, consistent check-ins, and specific offers of support can matter more than trying to make the pain disappear. Stay available for the moments your teenager chooses connection. Those moments may come at inconvenient times, but being present when the door opens can strengthen the relationship.

For episode 269 of the Crypto Altruists podcast, Drew takes a solo deep dive into one of the most pressing questions facing the nonprofit sector today: can NGOs and grassroots movements use AI for humanitarian impact without compromising their values?Lately, whenever we talk with people working at nonprofits, NGOs, and grassroots organizations, the conversation almost always turns to AI. And the feeling in the room is usually a mix of curiosity and discomfort. Curiosity, because these tools could help overstretched teams do more. Discomfort, because so much of what we hear about AI clashes with the values that drive this work, from the environmental cost of data centres, to AI safety risks, to the growing concentration of power in the hands of Big Tech.In this episode, we take those concerns seriously and give them an honest answer, not a sales pitch. Then we explore a side of AI that doesn't get nearly enough attention: organizations using it in ways that are small, local, community-owned, and designed with the planet in mind. We look at eight real-world examples of ethical, sovereign AI for social impact, including the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team's community-trained disaster mapping tools, Te Hiku Media's Indigenous-owned Māori speech recognition, Rainforest Connection's solar-powered forest guardians, PlantVillage Nuru's offline crop disease diagnosis, Jacaranda Health's maternal health language model, Lelapa AI's small language model for African languages, privacy-preserving federated learning with FLock.io and the UNDP, and Karya's worker-owned data model.We close with a practical five-question checklist to help any nonprofit adopt AI responsibly, and share how Crypto Altruists can support organizations in building safe AI policies and finding tools that genuinely help.In today's episode, we discuss:

Text Us Your Feedback! (Likes, Dislikes, Guest/Conversation Recommendations). Three years ago Brandon signed up for Men and Women of Discomfort, made it two weeks, and quietly bowed out. This year, after a small plane lost an engine at 150 feet with him and his wife aboard, after a dire diagnosis for someone close to him, and after a fourth straight physical showing high cholesterol and low testosterone, he called Dane Sanders and said I'm in. This episode is the after shot. Dane flips the mic and interviews Brandon at week 12 about what actually happened, including the week his infant son was rushed to the PICU and the training got tested in the most real way imaginable.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why the bison runs toward the storm while everything else runs away, and the two reasons that instinct pays offThe victim-choice and hard-easy quadrant that explains why most men medicate storms with cheap comforts instead of piercing through themWhat the fess-up practice looks like inside MWOD, and why no one in the program made Brandon feel worse than he made himselfHow the practices held Brandon anchored through four days in the PICU, right down to ordering compliant food from a hospital menu while holding his son's handThe feedback from a fellow member named Wendy that ended Brandon's complaining in one sentenceWhat changed at home when his wife watched him finish something for the first time, and why that rewrite of an old narrative mattered more than the 10 pounds and 6 percent body fatThe next round kicks off Monday, October 5.

If you're in sales, you may have noticed a familiar pattern: a hard question you soften before you ask it, a prospecting call you keep pushing out to tomorrow, or an observation you don't make because saying it feels risky. It's easy to chalk these behaviors up to busyness or a lack of discipline. Usually, the root cause is something else entirely.  In this episode, Dan sits down with Dr. Jason Moser, a clinical psychologist and researcher at Michigan State University, to talk about what's actually happening in those moments, and why avoiding them tends to make things worse, not better. If discomfort has ever talked you out of doing something you knew you should do, you won't want to miss this episode.  Follow and subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BreakingSalesPodcast/videos

This week is the start of Libra season, as the equinox is upon us and the Sun enters the sign of the scales. The Sun is the focal point of a dynamic with the outer planets Neptune and Pluto and asks us to get clear about our one to one relationships in all areas of our lives. This is part of a Full Moon in Aries that conjoins Neptune and makes a bold aspect to Jupiter, helping us to open our hearts, get creative and stop playing small. Discomfort may be the price of expansion, but it's worth it in the end. All this and so much more on The Golden Astrologer Podcast!

Sean Murphy spent more than twenty years in the CISO chair and walked away from it while things were going well. In this episode of The New CISO, he returns to talk with Steve Moore about trading the operational seat for a field CISO role at F5 — and why getting too good at the job was the warning sign.Sean reintroduces himself: 21 years in Air Force medicine, multiple post-retirement CISO gigs in highly regulated industries, and now field CISO for North America at F5. What drew him was not the title but the teaching. He calls his hobby recreational learning, has been an adult student for decades, and still teaches at Central Washington and Columbia Southern. The new role makes education the job rather than something done off the side of the desk.The heart of the conversation is the exhaustion nobody names. Sean is blunt that his old role drained him less because it was hard than because it was the same — the same politics, the same pressures, the same day in and day out. Stability turned into autopilot, and autopilot is where complacency kills. Now he is drinking from the fire hose on post-quantum, AI security, and API security, admitting he has had to go learn the material before presenting it. His batteries are fuller than they were when the work was easier.Steve turns that into a theory of time. An hour of play feels infinite to a child because everything in it is new; as we get older and repeat ourselves, the days speed up and disappear. Discomfort, then, is not the enemy — it is the thing that slows relative time back down. Sean adds the other half: focus, being genuinely in the moment rather than running on muscle memory.Then Steve puts a hot one to him. He is often underwhelmed by people in field CISO roles, and he argues the position is overhead until it is not — frequently first on the chopping block. Sean does not flinch. If a company builds these roles without a strategic reason and hires people with no bench behind them, that is on the company. He walks through the questions he asked in his own interviews — what does success look like, what are the real pain points, how much selling is in the role — and how much the subtext tells you. The episode closes on narrative over geek speak, a Black Hat session, a possible third book, and his answer to the show's closing question: do not forget your roots.Key TopicsLeaving the operational CISO seat while the program was running wellWhy F5 built a field CISO role around education rather than salesRecreational learning: teaching, certifications, and staying a studentComplacency, autopilot, and the exhaustion of samenessActual versus perceived time, and how novelty slows the clockThe hot take: is field CISO the first position to get cut?Interview questions for a vendor role, starting with what success looks likeReading the subtext of an interview: politics, pain points, and red flagsBuilding the narrative that ties security work to the businessStaying comfortable being uncomfortable in a brand new roleGuest BioSean Murphy is field CISO for North America at F5, which he joined after more than twenty years as an operational CISO in highly regulated industries and a 21-year career in Air Force medicine.

Are you experiencing sudden waves of anxiety, heaviness, or ungrounded energy that seem to come out of nowhere?In this energy update, we dive into what is truly happening within your energetic field during major shifts in consciousness. Many on the spiritual journey assume that feeling intense discomfort means they are falling off track or regressing - but there is a deeper energetic dynamic taking place behind the scenes.Tune in to discover how to navigate these physical and emotional symptoms, anchor your awareness, and hold steady through high-frequency shifts.✨ JOIN THE UPCOMING MINI-SEMINAR: Timeline Shifts: Why Change Can Be Happening Before You Can See It.  Reserve your spot for the upcoming live seminar here:

What if the discomfort you're experiencing isn't a sign that something has gone wrong—but an indication that something is ready to change?Most of us want to get rid of discomfort as quickly as possible. We distract ourselves, numb it, push through it, treat the symptom, blame the circumstances, or retreat back into familiar patterns. But whether your discomfort is physical, emotional, relational, or simply a feeling that you're stuck, frustrated, anxious, or disconnected, it may be trying to get your attention.In this episode, JJ Flizanes explores why discomfort can become the catalyst for some of our greatest breakthroughs—and why we often don't make meaningful changes until staying where we are becomes more uncomfortable than moving forward.JJ shares examples from her own recent healing journey and relationships to illustrate how an uncomfortable experience can expose deeper beliefs, fears, core wounds, and patterns we may not have realized were running our lives.Because when fear is making your decisions, fear has the power. But when you become willing to examine what's underneath the fear, you have the opportunity to choose something different.In this episode, you'll discover:Why physical and emotional discomfort can be valuable informationHow fear, resistance, and control can keep you repeating old patternsWhy treating the symptom may not address what's happening underneath itHow your subconscious beliefs and core wounds influence what you allow yourself to receiveWhy vulnerability can require more strength than staying in controlHow discomfort can create the opening for new awareness and new neural pathwaysWhy feeling stuck, frustrated, anxious, or “off” may actually mean you're ready for changeHow leaning into discomfort instead of running from it can become the beginning of your breakthroughJJ also connects this conversation to the Core Wound Map and the importance of identifying the beliefs underneath our habitual reactions. You can't change a pattern you don't know is there—and understanding the root gives you a place to begin.Your discomfort doesn't have to be something you fear or immediately try to escape.It may be an invitation.You may not be falling apart. You may be standing at the edge of your next breakthrough.https://jjflizanes.com/restore

Derek Rutter is a therapist in private practice in Asheville, North Carolina. His approach specializes in using somatic parts work in the treatment of trauma, addiction, and attachment wounds. In addition to working as a therapist, Derek is a father, partner, artist and athlete. He loves the big questions and cherishes the small things. Some people think he's funny. In this episode, Derek and I discuss the idea that deliberately seeking or accepting discomfort and stress – rather than avoiding them – is often beneficial for growth, motivation, resilience, and performance. The core reframe is simple: discomfort is not automatically a problem or a threat to escape; it can be a useful signal of progress, learning, and expanding capacity.

Week 3 — Before Your Body Shouts: Learn to Hear the WhispersWhat if your body isn't fighting against you? What if it's trying to protect you?Tight shoulders. A clenched jaw. Holding your breath. A body that seems unable to relax.We can easily become frustrated with these sensations and wonder, “Why won't my body just let go?”But what happens when we ask a different question?“What might my body be trying to protect?”In Week 3 of Somatic in September, Heidi Hadley introduces us to one of Australia's most ancient and misunderstood animals — the crocodile — to explore the remarkable protective intelligence of the human nervous system.Crocodiles have survived for millions of years because their systems are exceptionally good at one thing: survival.Your nervous system also has protection at its core.Moment by moment, it receives sensory information and responds to what is happening within and around you. When your system perceives a need for protection, that response can sometimes be experienced as muscular tension, bracing, restricted breathing or a feeling of being unable to completely let go.Rather than immediately treating those responses as something that needs to be fought or forced away, Somatic Movement invites us to become curious about them.Because your body may not be the enemy.It may be doing the best it can with the information it currently has.And when we begin providing new sensory information and movement possibilities, we can start developing a very different relationship with our body.

What if the discomfort you're feeling isn't a sign to stop, but simply a sign that you're doing something new?   As a mom and entrepreneur, I've learned that comfortable and right aren't always the same, and uncomfortable and wrong aren't either.   In this episode, I'm talking about how we can use busyness, overthinking, more research, and even waiting for confidence to avoid the feelings that come with meaningful action.   I'll help you recognize the difference between something being out of alignment and something simply feeling uncomfortable because you're growing.   We'll also talk about self-leadership, emotional capacity, and why you don't have to eliminate fear or uncertainty before taking the next step.   If there's something you've been avoiding because you don't want to feel uncomfortable, this conversation will give you a new way to look at it.  

"Experience tells you where they've been, readiness tells you where they can go." In this episode of Leadership in Quarters, host Josh Seldin sits down with Logan Yonavjak, Co-founder and CEO of The Readiness Engine, to explore how modern organizations can move beyond traditional personality assessments and start quantitatively measuring human capacity, emotional resilience, and leadership potential in an increasingly AI-driven workforce. With over two years of experience moving hundreds of millions in institutional capital across climate strategies and holding an MBA and MF from Yale, Logan shares how quantitative linguistics, developmental psychology, and AI-driven transcript analysis can illuminate hidden behavioral patterns, eliminate unconscious hiring biases, and help leaders build higher-performing, more adaptable teams. In this masterclass on modern leadership intelligence, you'll discover: ✅ The Limits of Traditional Assessments: Why Myers-Briggs, personality profiles, and EQ tests miss critical markers of leadership capability. ✅ Personality vs. Behaviors vs. Capacity: How to distinguish between self-reported preference masks, situational behaviors, and a leader's true operating system. ✅ Overcoming the 40% Promotion Failure Rate: Why technical high achievers often struggle when transitioning into people leadership roles, and how objective data prevents burnout. ✅ AI as a Technical Tool & Human Skill Catalyst: How automating execution-based tasks elevates the strategic need for developmental capacity, active listening, and relationship-building. ✅ Quantitative Linguistics & Transcript Analytics: How objective sentence structure analysis uncovers a leader's ability to manage complexity without relying on tone or sentiment. ✅ Assessing True Coachability: How to evaluate a team member's willingness to adapt, accept direct feedback, and stretch beyond their current comfort zones.

It's known that an average life exists in the comfort zone.     And it is known that when you live in discomfort, your body will do everything it can to avoid this space.    The truth is, discomfort is where the growth aoccurs for most human beings.    Think about the last tie you lost love.    Lost money.    Lost friends.    Think about your childhood.     Was it good, or was it uncomfortable.    I've lived many lives of discomfort.    At 18, I got my first apartment.    Ten months later, the cops kicked open the door and took me to jail.    Jail was uncomfortable.    I had no furniture in my apartment and really had none when I got locked up.    When I was married 3 times before and got divorced, I felt the discomfort.    In each and every one of those situations, I used the discomfort of discomfort to make new way.    I worked harder.    Worked longer than everyone else.    And guess what?   I won.     Last weekend, my 2nd oldest and I mowed 10 acres.    Sure, I can afford to hire soemone, but Im teaching my kids about life and how it woks by staying in the discomfort zone.    It's the only way growth happens.    I still got to the gym and work my body daily.    I still do yardwork.    I do chores around the house.    I work later and longer at work.    Why?    In my experience, discomfort keeps me sharp and continuously evolving.    Figure out what you want.    It's waiting for you in the discomfort zone.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Was it narcissistic abuse, or were you the problem? Why does the fog lift after a divorce, and you still can't trust your own judgment? In this second live therapist Q&A, moderated by Tony's daughter Sydney, almost every question came from someone in the middle of something: a divorce after ten years of marriage, an only child clearing out her late mom's house, a man texting a grieving partner and hearing nothing back, a listener whose therapist of eight years had died. Tony opens with why the brain, a prediction engine that wants certainty now, grabs the nearest story and runs with it. Then he catches himself doing exactly that on air, and leaves it in. In this episode you'll: Reframe "am I the narcissist?" into a question that can get you further: what happened to you in the relationship, and who were you becoming inside it Recognize "making the right mouth sounds," where "You're right, I'm the problem" brings relief for both people, and the effort for change never arrives Use the four pillars of a connected conversation when every issue you raise gets turned back on you Notice the pathologically kind pattern of absorbing blame that was never yours to carry Stay in grief, estrangement, and overthinking without a formula, with a nod to Dr. Joshua Coleman's Rules of Estrangement and a passage from Alex Michaelides' The Fury on the child still waiting inside the adult Tony Overbay is a licensed marriage and family therapist with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals and couples untangle emotional immaturity, high-conflict dynamics, and the stories the brain tells in the meantime.

What if the most important leadership skill isn't knowing the answer, but being willing to hear one you don't like? Amanda Lang, one of Canada's most recognized business journalists, Chief Financial Correspondent for CTV News, host of Taking Stock on BNN Bloomberg, and bestselling author of The Power of Why and The Beauty of Discomfort, joins Shift for a conversation about the things that quietly shape every decision we make: what we pay attention to, how we stay curious, how we exercise judgment, and how we decide who to trust. We talk about why the smartest people are the least likely to act like know-it-alls, why real curiosity requires humility, how to lead when certainty is impossible, and why trust is earned the same way in a boardroom as it is at home, through transparency, repair and showing up the way you said you would. It's a reminder that in an era of infinite information and AI-generated certainty, the human superpowers, curiosity, judgment and trust, matter more than ever.

Are you a senior corporate leader, director, or enterprise tech VP who has climbed to a high-paying salary, yet you find yourself completely exhausted from putting 60 to 70 hours a week into the machine?   In this transparent guest conversation, host Billy Keels sits down with Derek Schutz—a senior director leading a massive services team and a multimillion-dollar account portfolio at a market-leading enterprise software brand. Derek pulls back the curtain on his own profound personal wake-up call, sharing how the compounding physical and psychological stress of corporate "busyness" led him to completely audit his calendar capital. Discover how to utilize corporate execution principles—like tracking lead measures instead of lag measures—to compress your working schedule down to a high-impact 40 hours. Learn how to have direct, proactive conversations with your management team to establish unbreakable professional boundaries, and see how to parlay your enterprise leadership capital into an independent, highly rewarding side project completely by choice, not obligation.  

Comfort feels like success until you realize what it may be costing you. Jim Oliver and Nick Kosko dig into one of the most subtle barriers to building wealth, ownership, and a bigger life: getting too comfortable. A steady paycheck. A nice house. The vacations every year. A nice, predictable routine. None of those things are inherently bad but the danger is when comfort starts softening your ambition. It can convince you that "good enough" is … well, good enough.  As Jim puts it: scarcity can make you hungry, but comfort sedates you. Jim and Nick explore how growth often follows uncomfortable seasons, the ways ownership requires deliberately stepping outside what feels safe, and how to identify the areas of your life where comfort may quietly be keeping you from your potential. Because ultimately, you can chase comfort or you can chase freedom—but you can't chase both. Key Takeaways: - Comfort can become an invisible ceiling. When everything feels "fine," it's easy to stop building and start coasting. - Adversity reveals what comfort can hide. Some of the biggest periods of learning and growth begin with situations you would never have chosen. - Discomfort can become your compass. Instead of automatically avoiding what scares you, examine whether that's exactly where you need to grow. - Get obsessed with ownership. Jim describes Infinite Banking as the chassis and asset acquisition as the engine—two pieces working toward greater control and freedom. Audit your comfort zones. Ask yourself:  Where am I being too safe? What am I tolerating? What decision am I avoiding? Are you comfortable or are you free? If you're exploring Infinite Banking but still aren't sure whether it's right for you, we encourage you to start with a conversation. No pressure. No assumption that IBC is automatically the answer. The goal is to understand where you are, what you're trying to accomplish, and whether Infinite Banking belongs in that picture. Book a Free Discovery Call with Dominium Wealth: https://www.dominium-wealth.com/website-form The Comfort Zone Audit: Jim and Nick leave listeners with a practical challenge: Take an honest look at your life and ask: Where am I being too safe? What am I tolerating that I know needs to change? What decision am I avoiding because it's uncomfortable? Where am I coasting instead of building? Then choose one uncomfortable action and take it. Jim and Nick recommend journaling through where you are today, identifying what you love, what you don't love, and where you need to improve—and then having the courage to act on one small thing.

I've ghosted y'all, and I need to apologize — because it wasn't intentional, and we need to talk about why. For years I shared everything: the brand deals, the $144K year that replaced my corporate paycheck, all of it. But after crossing a quarter million in revenue, I got quiet.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Paije Alexandra West, founder of ETÉREO, about iboga, ibogaine, and Bwiti initiation. Drawing on Paul's recent retreat experience at ETÉREO in Baja, they examine what can be lost when iboga is reduced to a clinical alkaloid and how traditional ceremony can coexist with rigorous medical screening. Paije explains the differences between iboga root bark and total alkaloid extract, the role of Bwiti music, and why discomfort, community, and long-term integration are central to working responsibly with this demanding medicine. Paije Alexandra West is the founder and lead iboga provider at ETÉREO | Center for Truth, an iboga retreat center outside Todos Santos, Baja California Sur. A twice-initiated Bwiti practitioner, she began on the clinical side, supporting guests through detox and aftercare at ibogaine clinics. Her commitment deepened after losing her brother to a fentanyl overdose. Paije trained in Gabon with the Missoko Bwiti, completed the Nyembe rites in 2022, and was initiated with the Fong in 2025. Her work combines traditional Bwiti ceremony with EKGs, pharmacist reviews, licensed therapists, and IFS-informed integration. She runs ETÉREO with her husband and co-founder, Fletcher Burdick, and co-founded the Stone West Foundation. Highlights: How iboga differs from isolated ibogaine treatment What medicalized approaches can lose when culture and ceremony are removed Combining Bwiti tradition with clinical screening and emergency preparation Why responsible providers must be willing to say no Iboga root bark versus total alkaloid extract How Bwiti music shapes the ceremonial experience Discomfort, community, and the limits of modern convenience Why iboga requires long-term integration rather than a quick-fix mindset Episode Links: ETÉREO Stone West Foundation ETÉREO on Instagram @etereo__baja Paije on Instagram: @paijealexandrawest Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-372/?ref=278 Episode Sponsors: SSRI Deprescribing & Psychedelic Readiness Training with Dr. Dave Rabin Disclaimer: This content is for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only.

In “What Life Are You Building?”, Pastor Chrissy Cole teaches from 1 Timothy 6 about building a life that reflects Christ in public and in private. Paul's instructions challenge the church to reject false teaching, pursue contentment, fight the good fight of faith, guard the gospel, and place its hope in God rather than the uncertainty of wealth.Through four searching contrasts, this sermon asks whether we are building lives of comfort or discomfort, earthly wealth or eternal worship, self-indulgence or servanthood, and personal gain or generosity. Chrissy explains how correction produces maturity, why biblical knowledge should lead to humility and transformation, and how faithful generosity can draw others toward Jesus and bring glory to God.

I sit down with author Michael Easter to explore how modern life's endless comforts and technological conveniences are quietly making us weaker. We discuss how intentionally embracing short-term discomfort, getting out into nature, and finding our personal edge can build deep psychological resilience. Michael breaks down the concept of a "misogi"—a massive annual challenge with a 50-50 chance of success—and shares how stepping out of our comfort zones transforms our perspective on daily stress. We also dive into his personal journey with sobriety, the psychology behind low-friction distractions, and why cultivating intentional solitude is essential today.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - Introduction to Michael Easter00:49 - The Problem with Modern Comfort02:56 - How Technology Removes Effort05:07 - Reframing Overwhelm Through Hard Challenges08:59 - Psychological Shifts After a Month in the Arctic13:49 - Becoming a Two-Percenter: Choosing the Stairs19:42 - Sobriety, Discomfort, and Long-Term Gains28:49 - Low-Friction Activities and Slot Machine Architecture34:08 - Building Resilience via Nature, Silence, and Boredom39:44 - Upbringing, Adaptability, and Embracing Your Quirks45:02 - Defining Misogi: The 50-50 Rule50:46 - Moving Toward Your Psychological Edge55:23 - Practical Micro-Habits for Daily Discomfort58:38 - Distinguishing Solitude from Isolation01:06:29 - Closing Thoughts and Resources***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

In this episode Gina offers listeners a series of questions they can ask themselves and suggestions they can implement during their experience of the discomfort associated with anxiety and panic.Turning to face the discomfort we are presented with during high anxiety moments can offer us the opportunity we are seeking to overcome the discomfort.Questions to ask oneself:What if there were more beyond that?What if distracting was keeping us in the loop and holding us back from the joy in life?What if chasing the desire to make the discomfort stop is actually keeping the pain and discomfort alive?What if the joy was in going through vs giving in to distraction and running away from discomfort?What if what we are looking for is in the opening of moving through the discomfort of what we think should be different than it is?Suggestions to implement:1.Slow down2.Get to neutral and be curious about the situation (take the personalization out of it ...look at it as if you were a researcher without an agenda)3.Remind yourself why you want to get to the other side of this situation and that it is joy that is found from going through the urge to fight flee or freeze when it is discomfort that you are dealing with not true danger.Stillpoint Fridays is my once-a-week Friday note — a slower, more personal reflection that's different from what I share on the podcast.If you'd like a quiet place to land as the week winds down, you can join here: http://eepurl.com/bR2F9P or on our website anxietycoachespodcast.com and sign up for the newsletter.Please visit our Sponsor Page to find all the links and codes for our awesome sponsors! https://www.theanxietycoachespodcast.com/sponsors/Website https://www.theanxietycoachespodcast.comJoin our community Group Coaching Join our Group Coaching Full or Mini Membership Program1:1 Coaching Learn more about our One-on-One CoachingIf you prefer to listen AD-FREE, try our Supercast premium access membership:Learn more about anxiety What is anxiety?Free Guided Meditation for Calming Your Anxious Mind 10-Minute Body-Scan Meditation for AnxietyQuote:A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. -Franklin D. RooseveltChapters0:28 Joy Beyond Discomfort2:58 Discomfort Isn't Dangerous5:50 Breaking the Anxiety Cycle9:58 Growth Through Grief12:26 Three Ways to Stay Aware16:46 Reflection Questions for HealingSummaryIn this episode, we reflect on reaching episode 400 and nearing 4 million downloads, and we thank listeners for sharing the show and sending feedback. We also note that people do not need a diagnosis to benefit from the discussion, since we all experience stress and discomfort in life.We focus on the idea of finding joy beyond discomfort. We repeat that discomfort is not dangerous, and we discuss the importance of letting that understanding move beyond logic and into the body. We explore the idea that distraction can keep us stuck in anxiety cycles, while going through the feeling can lead to freedom, peace, and joy.We distinguish between smaller fears that are easier to avoid and larger life events that cannot be avoided, such as loss, accident, or ending. We suggest experimenting with the smaller situations by choosing the opposite of the usual avoidance response and approaching them with curiosity and a sense of adventure.We then offer three practical suggestions: slow down, get to neutral and stay curious, and remind ourselves why we want to move through the situation. We emphasize noticing when we have gone back to old patterns without judgment, resetting, and trying again.We close by returning to the main questions about what lies beyond discomfort and how moving through it can open the way to what we are looking for.#Anxiety #AnxietyRelief #PanicAttacks #MentalHealth #EmotionalWellness #FindingJoy #Discomfort #CopingMechanisms #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth #Mindfulness #JournalPrompts #SelfCare #StressManagement #Vulnerability #OvercomingFear #MindsetShift #HealingJourney #SelfAwareness #Resilience #Podcast #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #Episode400 #Milestone #4MillionDownloads #Gratitude #CommunitySupport #Awareness #Presence #Acceptance #FeelYourFeelings #EmotionalRegulation #InnerStrength #PersonalTransformation #MentalClarity #SlowDown #BeCurious #NonJudgment #EmotionalFreedom #LifeLessons #Quotes #FranklinDRoosevelt #Aloha #Peace #WellBeing #MentalHealthAwareness #StressRelief #SelfReflection #Journaling #SelfDiscovery #GinaRyanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
