Send us a textRelationship and intimacy coach Monica Tanner joins us to unpack the damaging marriage advice many of us have accepted as truth. Drawing from her seven years of podcasting experience and three years exclusively coaching couples, Monica reveals why seemingly innocent phrases like "happy wife, happy life" and "don't sweat the small stuff" actually create disconnection and resentment in relationships.Monica shares details about her upcoming book, "Bad Marriage Advice: Debunking Myths That Will Make You Miserable and What to Do Instead," which evolved from a heartfelt letter to her soon-to-be-married son. The conversation digs into why telling couples "divorce is not an option" often backfires, removing motivation for growth rather than strengthening commitment.The most practical segment focuses on Monica's three-step formula for making effective requests in relationships. Instead of complaining about what you're not getting, she teaches how to identify what you want, make your request "stupidly easy" to fulfill by being specific, and show gratitude for any progress. This approach transforms communication patterns and creates positive momentum in relationships.We also explore the powerful garden metaphor for marriage—how beliefs planted by others in our childhood need tending, weeding, and sometimes complete replanting as we grow and face life's transitions together. Monica emphasizes the value of seeking relationship support before crisis strikes, sharing stories of proactive couples who establish relationships with coaches early in their marriages.Whether you're struggling with communication issues, feeling disconnected, or simply want to strengthen an already good relationship, this episode offers practical wisdom for creating a marriage where both partners feel valued, heard, and cherished. Ready to transform your relationship? Listen now and discover how to replace bad marriage advice with strategies that actually work.Monica Tanner Guest InformationMonica Tanner, RLT trained, Relationship Coach and host of the Secrets of Happily Ever After podcast, transforms marriages with simple communication, connection, conflict resolution and commitment strategies.

Have you ever started a new supplement, and had your symptom not get better but WORSE? Were you confused by this, and wondered if you should keep taking the supplement or stop altogether? If you said yes to either of these questions, then this episode is for you! On today's episode, we're sharing an audio from one our private, group coaching calls for members of my program, the Better Belly Blueprint.

A Note from James:So Dr. Oz—television personality turned government official—this is such an interesting thing. He's going to be the new administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CMS. He's going to be in charge of all Medicare and Medicaid. What does he know or think about these parts of our government?Medicare and Medicaid, combined with Social Security, make up the biggest part of government spending. So it'd be interesting to know what he thinks. On his show, he'd talk about everything from medicine to alternative medicine to other healing methods. I want to know how he's going to handle things in the government.This is a republishing of a past podcast I did with Dr. Oz, but it still describes his approach to medicine. And I think, as a citizen, this is useful. That's why I wanted to share it again. He's going to be working closely with RFK Jr. and Marty Makary (who's also been on this podcast and is now head of the FDA).So here's Dr. Oz.Episode Description:In this re-released conversation, James speaks with Dr. Mehmet Oz about his philosophy on medicine, self-care, and the critical role nutrition plays in overall well-being. As Dr. Oz steps into a major government role as the head of CMS, this episode offers valuable insight into the beliefs and strategies he may bring to one of the most powerful positions in U.S. healthcare.Together, they cover the power of second opinions, why most people misunderstand sugar, how gut bacteria drive health, and what it means to choose yourself when it comes to well-being. They also unpack highlights from Dr. Oz's book Food Can Fix It, including practical strategies for brain health, stress, and weight loss.What You'll Learn:Why second opinions can drastically change your medical outcomes.The connection between stress, sugar, and your brain's coping mechanisms.What to eat (and avoid) for long-term brain health and energy.How gut bacteria influence digestion, immunity, and mood.Dr. Oz's personal routine for energy, sleep, and productivity.Timestamped Chapters:[00:00] Dr. Oz's New Role in Government[01:00] Dr. Oz's Philosophy: Empowering Patients[02:45] The Power of Second Opinions[04:00] Behind the Book: Food Can Fix It[06:00] Parenting, Health, and Self-Sacrifice[07:30] Why We Stress Eat—and What to Do Instead[09:30] Fixing the Root Cause with Food[12:00] Brain Food and Omega-3 Fats[15:30] Antioxidants, Alcohol, and Wheat Brain[17:30] Why Sugar Without Fiber Is Dangerous[18:30] Juicing vs. Smoothies[19:30] Food Traditions, Rituals, and Healing[20:15] Using Food as Medicine for Pain[21:00] The Role of Gut Bacteria[23:30] Smart Weight Loss Strategies[26:30] Rethinking Dairy, Gluten, and Processed Foods[28:00] Eating for All-Day Energy[30:30] Daily Routine: Sleep Hygiene and Focus[33:00] Final Thoughts and Dr. Oz's Upcoming PodcastAdditional Resources:

Ian Myers isn't here to give you startup hacks—he's here to tell the truth.At just 26, he became a CEO. By 30, he'd built Oceans, a $10 million agency connecting skilled professionals in Sri Lanka with U.S. startups. But his story isn't a straight line—it's an open map. From literature to venture capital, Japan to New York, success and failure, Ian has treated life like a Tintin adventure: follow the clues, embrace the chaos, and keep going.In this conversation, we dig into what really fuels a global entrepreneur—from Buddhist philosophy to a bias for action—and how Ian's building a future-of-work company that's human-first, not hype-driven. For anyone rethinking college, career paths, or the AI takeover, Ian offers something rarer than advice: perspective.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Tintin Over Tech Bros: Why Curiosity Beats Calculation“My role model isn't Musk or Zuck—it's Tintin. He's fearless, inquisitive, and always exploring something new.”Zen and the Founder's Mind“Buddhism taught me how to stay grounded through chaos. That mindset shaped how I lead.”LinkedIn Paralysis Is Real. Here's What to Do Instead.“People tell me, ‘My classmate's a VP already—I've failed.' That thinking's toxic. Just follow what's interesting.”Ageism, Across Borders“In Japan, your age trumps your ideas. It pushed me toward entrepreneurship.”Oceans: Talent Without Borders“We embed Sri Lankan professionals into U.S. startups—not as temps, but as core team members.”AI, Hype, and the Reality Check“Yes, AI is impressive. But like every tech wave, adoption will take longer than people think.”The Diversity Dilemma: Who Gets a Seat at the (Remote) Table?“We've turned down clients who wanted ‘an attractive female EA.'

Have you ever done a protocol, and wondered if it was making any difference? Or even more specifically - have you ever done a candida protocol and wondered if it worked, or if you needed to do it again? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then you are just like my client Elizabeth! In today's episode, I'm sharing a question from one of our group coaching calls inside my private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic on candida is from my client Elizabeth. She asks: "How do I know when my candida is gone? As a reminder, I'm re-doing my candida protocol on week 4. (Update: I got diarrhea with the candida treatment the first round, but I don't now!). I do continue to get bloating after I eat any meal. Should I re-test for candida after I finish my protocol? I just want to know what exactly is causing the bloating and why it isn't gone yet!" What she REALLY wanted to know is - why is her bloating still here? And how can she know if the candida is gone if she still has that particular symptom? It can TOTALLY be rough going through a protocol and seeing improvement in some symptoms, but not in others (especially one(s) that you care about the most!). So if you've ever had anxiety around this question before, you DON'T want to miss my answer to Elizabeth!

I just want to know what exactly is causing the bloating and why it isn't gone yet!" What she REALLY wanted to know is - why is her bloating still here? And how can she know if the candida is gone if she still has that particular symptom? It can TOTALLY be rough going through a protocol and seeing improvement in some symptoms, but not in others (especially one(s) that you care about the most!). So if you've ever had anxiety around this question before, you DON'T want to miss my answer to Elizabeth!

In this episode, we're breaking down why listening to your body isn't always enough (and why you're not failing if it hasn't worked for you). From sleep deprivation and stress to hormonal fluctuations and hyper-palatable foods, there are multiple factors that can make it easy to overeat when trying to lose fat and difficult to eat enough when trying to build muscle.What I Cover in This Episode:Why hunger and fullness cues can be unreliable when you're stressed, sleep-deprived, or dieting.How appetite hormones (ghrelin & leptin) respond to sleep, stress, and dieting—and why they might be making fat loss harder.Why eating past a calorie deficit is so easy (just 200 extra calories a day can stall fat loss).The reality of muscle gain—why eating intuitively might not get you enough calories to build muscle.PMS, hormones & cravings: why your body actually needs more energy during this time.Thyroid medications (hyper & hypothyroidism) and how they impact hunger, cravings & metabolism.Intuitive Eating Principles I'm Challenging (and What to Do Instead):1️⃣ “Honour Your Hunger”2️⃣ “Make Peace with Food”3️⃣ “Feel Your Fullness”4️⃣ “Cope with Emotions Without Using Food” 5️⃣ “Reject the Diet Mentality” At the end of the day, listening to your body is part of the equation—but if you're struggling to see results, there are deeper factors at play. Tune in for a conversation that's honest, science-backed, and helps you move forward with clarity.Health Coaching Application: Work with me!

Leah and I might be in different stages of parenting, but we have very similar situations — 3 kids, running a business, spouse who also works. So in part 2 of our interview, we jump into the societal expectations of moms and dads, discussing the stark differences in how each is perceived. Leah shares how she navigated running a business while being a hands-on mom and the challenges of unspoken gender roles in parenting. We also discuss our own anxiety with bringing kids up today vs. when we were kids — and how we're trying to fix it. Top TakeawaysMoms Face More Pressure to “Do It All” – The expectation is still that moms handle home responsibilities, even when they work full-time.Balance Looks Different at Different Stages – Leah's balance shifted as her kids grew older, and Joe's approach has to be different with younger kids.Perfection is the Enemy of Good Parenting – It's okay to not have Pinterest-perfect parties or homemade treats. Focus on being present instead.Show NotesListen to Part 1Leah RemilletBalancing Busy PodcastMy 2025 Yearly ThemeThe Brick DeviceThe Anxious GenerationWhy Over-Parenting Is Creating Anxiety—and What to Do Instead with Dr. Camillo OrtizSend feedback at https://streamlinedfeedback.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Work-Life Balance is a myth! Or is it? In today's conversation with Leah Remillet, we talk all about our goal as solopreneur parents to have everything – as in “AND,” not “OR.” Leah emphasizes that balance isn't about equal time for everything but about feeling good in YOUR core areas of life. She explains her framework for achieving work-life balance through priorities, presence, and purpose and offers practical strategies like setting boundaries, system stacking, and discipline to maintain balance.Top TakeawaysSet Boundaries with Your Work – Create office hours, shut down your computer, or build whatever boundaries you need to to make that mental shift.Perfection is a Myth – Instead of focusing on what's going wrong, focus on the “bright spots” where things go well and build from there.System Stacking is Key – Small, intentional habits (like meal prepping, scheduling breaks, and using alarms) create long-term balance.Show NotesLeah Remillet Balancing Busy PodcastMy 2025 Yearly ThemeThe Brick DeviceThe Anxious GenerationWhy Over-Parenting Is Creating Anxiety—and What to Do Instead with Dr. Camillo OrtizSend feedback at https://streamlinedfeedback.com  ★ Support this podcast ★

It's a strange thing that the concept of school has become almost universal over the last few hundred years. If you ask anyone almost anywhere in the world, they will be able to describe something that looks roughly like a shared concept of school. But maybe it didn't have to be this way. Maybe it could have been different. This week the amazing professor of anthropology Susan Blum Joins me to talk about 'schoolishness' which is her latest fantastic book, based on decades of research into the cultural development of the dominant ideas around formal institutional education. Susan D. Blum is a cultural, linguistic, and psychological anthropologist specializing in the study of China and the United States. She received her PhD in Anthropology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and also has two MAs—in Anthropology and in Chinese Language and Literature (both from Michigan)--and a BA in Human Language from Stanford University. Professor Blum is the author and editor of 10 books and dozens of articles, as well as public-facing writing. Her latest book, Schoolishness: Alienated Education and the Quest for Authentic, Joyful Learning (Cornell, 2024), is the third in a trilogy about higher education. The other two books are "I Love Learning; I Hate School": An Anthropology of College (Cornell, 2016) and My Word! Plagiarism and College Culture (Cornell, 2009). She also edited a widely read book calling into question the centrality and necessity of grading, Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learning (and What to Do Instead) (West Virginia, 2020). She has taught at Oklahoma State University, The University of Colorado Denver, The University of Denver, The University of Pennsylvania, and The University of Notre Dame, where she is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology. At Notre Dame, she has served as Director of the Center for Asian Studies and Chair of the Department of Anthropology. She is a Fellow of the Helen Kellogg Institute for International Studies, a Fellow in the Institute for Educational Initiatives, a Fellow of the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, a Fellow of the Eck Institute for Global Health, and a Fellow of the Shaw Center for Children and Families. She received a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship for her book, Lies That Bind: Chinese Truth, Other Truths (2007), and has received the Delta Kappa Gamma Educator's Award, 2010, for her book My Word! Plagiarism and College Culture (2009), which was translated into Chinese in 2011. Blum has also received an Excellence in Teaching award from The University of Colorado Denver (2000) and the Reverend Edmund P. Joyce, CSC, Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching from The University of Notre Dame (2010).

We talk about Frances's interests in embodiment and movement, and how her experiences as ballet dancer, surfer, and rock climber connect with her work on religion and healing. Our conversation focuses on her commitment to embodied and trauma-aware pedagogy, and how in the interest of flourishing, she engages the whole person in the learning process.

In today's world, our smartphones have become almost indispensable. They keep us organized with calendars, to-do lists, and reminders. They keep us connected with family and friends through calls, texts, and social media. They entertain us with games, music, podcasts, and videos. However, today's episode isn't about getting rid of our smartphones; it's about using them in a way that aligns with the gospel. Matthew 10:37 tells us that whoever loves anything more than Jesus is not worthy of Him. Our first desire must be to be wholly devoted to Jesus, ensuring that our smartphone use reflects that devotion. We need to be mindful of how our phones impact our spiritual lives, making sure they enhance rather than hinder our walk with Christ. We're going to walk through how we can bring our use of technology back to the gospel, prioritizing our relationship with Jesus above all else.

Justin Klemballa and I sit down with 8-time Canadian long drive champion Lisa Longball. Together, we unpack the three primary mistakes stopping women from gaining more distance in their golf swing and how to fix them!   We also discuss Lisa's personal training schedule, why muscle memory is way more important than muscular strength, and the vital role of rest in achieving peak performance. We also explore the significance of tempo and having a mental routine alongside a physical one.   Lisa shares her insightful personal experiences as a world-class athlete, including her triumph of hitting the longest drive in women's golf history, and what she did to gain the highest swing speed she's ever achieved.   3 Reasons You Lack Distance in Your Swing (and What to Do Instead) (06:47) Reason 1: You're an arms lifter. Because women are naturally more flexible than men, it's easy to think you're turning when you're really just lifting your arms. Lisa recommends looking at your body in two parts: the upper body and the lower body. During the backswing, start with your lead shoulder, forcing you to turn your chest turning away from the ball. On the other hand, during the downswing, maximize the coil and torque you've built up by leading with your lower body.   (09:25) Reason 2: Your golf swing sequence is flawed or lacking. “Turn the shirt” on the backswing, freeze, then “turn the skirt” on the downswing. The best way to make this sequence second nature is by practicing dissociation drills, as well as training to move your weight to the instep of the back foot when transitioning from the backswing to the downswing.   (18:43) Reason 3: You don't finish the golf swing. Most golfers put all their focus on hitting the ball, so that once they make contact, they begin to decelerate and fail to maximize distance as a result. Your clubhead should be at its fastest not on the ball, but three feet past the ball. Always keep this in mind: Hit through the ball, not to the ball.   About the Guest: Lisa Longball is an 8-time Canadian long drive national champion and has finished as high as 2nd in the world.

Zibby speaks with critically acclaimed essayist and journalist Lisa Selin Davis about HOUSEWIFE: Why Women Still Do It All and What to Do Instead, a deeply-researched, passionate, and vindicating book that masterfully dismantles misconceptions and encourages women to choose the best path for themselves. Lisa reflects on her fascination with the concept of the housewife and then delves into the challenges faced by modern-day mothers who have to balance work, family, and personal fulfillment. She highlights the importance of redefining traditional parenthood and embracing a more equitable distribution of labor—which will require affordable childcare and flexible work policies.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4abzmM7Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!

Hey Friend! If you have been here for a hot minute, you know that a few years ago, I made a dramatic exit from Instagram. After spending years of my life with, truly, an addiction to the vortex that is social media, I made the personal decision to lay it all down and walk away. I got my time back, and I felt free. Okay, so let's be honest. I know you clicked this episode because you are on the edge. of. your. seat. going, "Say whaaaaaat?!!!" Could it be? Did I change my mind and get back on Instagram? What is going on? Friend, I'm so glad you asked! Lean in a little closer and let me "spill the tea" about where I'm at, and what is happening with IG. I pray this blesses you!
