Podcasts about Drain

Why do you feel mentally exhausted by the middle of the day—even when you haven't done any physical work? In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the hidden productivity killer most entrepreneurs ignore: decision fatigue. Every choice you make throughout the day drains your mental battery. From what to eat, what to wear, and how to structure your schedule, small decisions quietly steal the focus you should be using for the high-level moves that actually grow your business. Paul explains how high performers eliminate this problem by automating their choices, creating clear operating rules, and building systems that protect their mental bandwidth. Instead of relying on willpower, successful entrepreneurs design routines and frameworks that remove unnecessary decisions entirely. In this episode, you'll learn: Why willpower is a limited resource and how to protect it How creating rules instead of daily decisions improves consistency Why delegation and systems unlock mental freedom for leaders How automating trivial choices helps you focus on scaling your vision If you're an entrepreneur, leader, or professional trying to operate at a higher level, this episode will help you reclaim your mental energy and make better decisions where it matters most. Because at the end of the day, you're paid for your strategy—not for micromanaging your morning. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

There are many reasons to feel uneasy these days. Most of us are walking around with frazzled nervous systems that we don't know how to soothe. Stress and anxiety have become so commonplace that we don't even realize how off kilter we are on a daily basis. Thankfully, there are many ways to calm our bodies if we're willing to pay attention. Tending to our nervous systems is not frivolous, it's critical work if we want to show up fully to our lives each day. Take a breath, find a pen and paper, and begin the process of creating an internal space of safety. What am I reading?The Botanist's Assistant by Peggy Townsend https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593638118When Things Fall Apart: Letter to Activist's in Crisis by Kelly Hayes https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781849355841https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingAdditional Recommendations Mind Your Body by Nicole Sachs https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593716939The Cure For Chronic Pain w/ Nicole Sachs Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cure-for-chronic-pain-with-nicole-sachs-lcsw/id1439580309What's playing on repeat?Trendsetter by Connor Price and Haviah  MightyWhat's for dinner?Roasted Brussels Sprouts Bean & Quinoa SaladIngredients:1 lb Brussels sprouts1 tablespoon olive oil1 can white beans1 can chickpeas2 cups cooked quinoa Handful chopped olivesGoat cheese (for crumbling on top) Pickled red onions chopped Fresh dill Salt and pepperDressing:1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar2 tablespoons Grainy mustard1 tablespoon minced garlicSalt and pepper Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

There is no easier or cleaner way to cook fish at home. This works with literally every fish you can think of, from boneless fillets to squid or prawns. Serves: 2 Time: 25 minutes Ingredients For the Fish: 2 skin-on fish fillets (snapper, or any white fish) Fresh herbs (optional) Salt and black pepper Oil, for cooking For the Potato Salad: 500g potatoes, sliced 1cm thick 1 pickle, chopped 1 tbsp capers, chopped ½ small red onion, thinly sliced 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp white wine vinegar Fresh herbs like basil or parsley (optional) Method Season the fish fillets with salt 5-10 minutes before cooking. Pat them very dry with a paper towel, then rub with oil. Add fresh herbs and pepper to the flesh side if desired. Bring a pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the sliced potatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes until just tender. Drain well. While the potatoes cook, make the dressing: in a bowl, combine the pickle, capers, onion, olive oil, vinegar, and herbs. Add the hot potatoes and toss gently. Set aside. Heat a cast-iron or heavy-based pan over high heat. Place the fish fillets on a sheet of baking paper, then transfer them skin-side down into the hot pan. Cook on the skin side until the fish is almost cooked through (the flesh will turn opaque from the bottom up). This usually takes 4-6 minutes depending on thickness. Flip the fish for just a few seconds on the flesh side, then remove from the pan immediately. Serve the fish alongside the warm potato salad. Tips Dry skin = crispy skin. Patting the fish completely dry before cooking is the secret to perfectly crisp skin. Use baking paper: Placing the fish on a sheet of baking paper before adding to the pan prevents sticking and makes flipping easier. Adjust timing: Cooking time depends entirely on the thickness of your fillet. A good rule is about 3-4 minutes per centimetre of thickness on the skin side. Any fish works: This method is perfect for snapper, salmon, or even squid and prawns (adjust timing accordingly). LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We always hear “stay in motion.”But what happens when motion becomes a distraction?In this episode, we unpack the hidden downside of constant movement, grinding nonstop, chasing every opportunity, saying yes to everything, and confusing busyness with progress. Because not all motion moves you forward. Some of it just keeps you tired.Too much motion can: • Blur your focus • Drain your energy • Disconnect you from your purpose • Create the illusion of growth without real directionSometimes the most powerful move isn't acceleration, it's alignment.This episode challenges you to slow down long enough to ask:Are you moving with intention, or just afraid to be still?If you've ever felt exhausted but unsure why you're not advancing, this conversation is for you.Motion builds momentum.But wisdom determines direction.@DBAMTV @DREAMSBYANYMEANS

Content batch days can feel exhausting, especially when your brain is juggling ideas, decisions, and pressure, all while being on camera. In this episode, Ashley shares how she reworked her process so that batching content stopped draining her energy. Instead of forcing productivity, she built a system that protects focus, creativity, and helps her show up fully on camera. In this episode, she breaks down:

Encourage everyone you know to switch to Catholic radio for Lent! Print out this sheet and pass it out to your fellow parishioners… ***** Good morning! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell welcome Rita Heikenfeld from About Eating to share meatless recipe ideas for Lent. Other guests include pastoral counselor Kevin Prendergast on why Jesus is not a mere therapist, and Courtney Brown from Ruah Woods to share insights into the Theology of the Body. Plus news, weather, sports, and more… ***** St. Jerome’s Prayer for God’s Mercy O Lord, show Your mercy to me and gladden my heart. I am like the man on the way to Jericho who was overtaken by robbers, wounded and left for dead. O Good Samaritan, come to my aid. I am like the sheep that went astray. O Good Shepherd, seek me out and bring me home in accord with Your will. Let me dwell in Your house all the days of my life and praise You for ever and ever with those who are there. Amen. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: FRIED FISH AND COLE SLAW FISH FRY FRIED FISH (Like they serve at Lenten fish fries) Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup milk – the proteins in milk help batter adhere and helps browning 1/2 cup very cold water – helps with crispiness 2 tablespoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt OR 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon or so of your favorite fish seasoning InstructionsWhisk flour, milk, water, baking powder, and salt/seasonings together until smooth.Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy pan to 365 degrees.Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels to help ensure batter sticks – I do this on crumpled paper towels. Dip fish fillets into batter to coat and let excess drip off.Lower fillets, one at a time, into hot oil. Don’t crowd pan. Turn once, until cooked through and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.Drain fried fish fillets on a wire rack over a paper-towel lined pan. (Don’t dry on paper towel alone – that creates steam). OLD FASHIONED COLE SLAW Ingredients 1 small cabbage shredded and chopped (about 6 cups) – can use red & green or equivalent bagged slaw mix 1 large carrot shredded 1 cup real mayonnaise 1/3 cup sugar 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Lemon juice to taste – not too much, a teaspoon or so Salt and pepper to taste Instructions Combine mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour over cabbage and carrots. Mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. ***** Fr. Columba Jordan is online at ascensionpress.com.

E noi? Le osserviamo e vi riportiamo un po' il "dietro le quinte" o almeno vi raccontiamo il lato della città di Milano che viviamo tutti i giorni. Partiamo con: come è iniziato tutto, come è l'organizzazione delle olimpiadi? Siamo alle solite? Poca organizzazione e tante lamentele? A quanto pare un po' si. Raffaele ci racconta come sta andando e che notizie ci sono. Curiosità per la fiaccola che è arrivata a Milano, molti "tedofori" https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tedoforo Sono state personaggi famosi italiani ma non sportivi famosi. Non proprio quello che ci si aspetta da coloro che portano in giro la fiaccola delle olimpiadi. Passiamo dalle olimpiadi agli affreschi. Ma non affreschi qualsiasi! Parliamo di affreschi che assomigliano un po' troppo a politici italiani. Ma chi? A quanto pare un angelo assomiglia un po' troppo al presidente dei ministri italiano! Concludiamo in cucina! La ricetta della pasta al forno che Matteo ha fatto nell'ultimo festival organizzato dalla scuola di italiano Joy of languages https://joyoflanguages.com/ Ingredienti: Pasta corta 400 g / 14 once Short pasta 400 g / 14 oz Passata 1l / 4 cups Tomato purée 1 L / 4 cups Una melanzana grande o due piccole One large eggplant or two small ones Scamorza affumicata (o mozzarella) 200g / 7 once Smoked scamorza cheese (or mozzarella) 200 g / 7 oz Parmigiano 50 g / 1,7 once Parmigiano cheese 50 g / 1.7 oz Pangrattato 50 g / 1,7 once Breadcrumbs 50 g / 1.7 oz Uno spicchio di aglio One clove of garlic Sale Salt Olio Oil Strumenti: Pentola Pot Pentolino per il sugo Small saucepan for the sauce Teglia 25 cm x 17 cm Medium baking dish (about 10 × 7 inches), suitable for 4 servings Coltello Knife Tagliere Cutting board Ciotola Bowl Scolapasta Colander Cucchiaio di legno Wooden spoon Mestolo per sugo Ladle for sauce Padella Pan / Skille Ricetta: In una padella, scaldare olio e uno spicchio d'aglio schiacciato con il coltello; quando fa le bollicine, aggiungere il sugo. In a pan, heat the oil and one clove of garlic crushed with a knife; when it starts bubbling, add the sauce. Tagliare le melanzane e togliere un po' di polpa. Cut the eggplants and remove some of the flesh. Cuocere le melanzane in padella con il sale e aggiungere acqua o vino se si asciugano troppo. Cook the eggplants in the pan with salt and add water or wine if they dry out too much. Abbassare la fiamma quando le melanzane si rimpiccioliscono. Lower the heat when the eggplants shrink. Far bollire l'acqua, aggiungere il sale e cuocere la pasta. Bring the water to a boil, add salt, and cook the pasta. Accendere il forno a 180° / Gas mark 4 / 356°F. Preheat the oven to 180°C / Gas mark 4 / 356°F. Tagliare la scamorza: metà finemente e metà a fette per la parte sopra. Cut the scamorza: half finely and half into slices for the top. Scolare la pasta al dente e mescolarla in una ciotola con sugo e melanzane. Drain the pasta al dente and mix it in a bowl with the sauce and eggplants. Mettere in teglia uno strato di pasta e aggiungere la scamorza tagliata finemente. Place a layer of pasta in the baking dish and add the finely chopped scamorza. Sopra mettere scamorza, pangrattato e parmigiano. On top, add scamorza, breadcrumbs, and Parmigiano. Cuocere per 10 minuti; usare il grill se serve dorare la superficie.

Connection matters deeply — and yet for many of us, it's never felt more confusing. In this solo episode, Dr. Alison explores the tension many people are navigating right now: how to stay open and loving toward others without losing clarity, discernment, or yourself. Many of us were taught that love means endless accommodation, that boundaries are unkind, or that distance equals failure. Others, weary of being hurt, find themselves pulling back — unsure how to stay connected without feeling drained or unsafe. This episode sits right in the middle of that tension. Rather than offering formulas or quick fixes, Dr. Alison invites listeners to slow down and notice what's happening beneath the surface of relationships — especially the ones that feel confusing, heavy, or hard to interpret. If you've found yourself asking: How do I stay loving without losing myself? How do I know when to lean in — and when to pause? What does discernment look like in real, imperfect relationships? This conversation creates space to reflect without pressure to decide everything right away. More Resources:

Some workdays leave you tired. Others leave you completely wiped, even when you have done everything right. In this episode, I explore why that happens and what it reveals about how work is really experienced. I sat down with Cherie Clonan, founder and CEO of The Digital Picnic, to talk about neurodivergence, energy, and what happens when workplaces are not designed for the people in them. Cherie was diagnosed with Autism as an adult and has spent more than a decade building a business while quietly masking in environments that drained her nervous system. We talk about what masking actually looks like at work, why some workplaces feel exhausting even when you love your job, and how leaders can create cultures that raise energy instead of depleting it. We also go deep into Cherie's hardest year in business, the moment she was forced into action, and the non-negotiables she rebuilt from scratch to protect her energy, her team, and her company. Cherie and I discuss: What masking really looks like for autistic women at work and why it is so exhausting How sensory overload, constant social decoding, and back-to-back meetings drain energy Spoon theory as a practical way to understand energy, capacity, and recovery Why businesses do not fail when they run out of cash but when founders run out of energy The cultural non-negotiables Cherie introduced to rebuild trust, respect, and momentum How removing unnecessary demands can benefit every neurotype at work Key quotes “Businesses do not go out of business when they run out of cash. They fail when the founder runs out of energy.” “Energy loss is data. It is telling you something important about what you are tolerating.” Connect with Cherie Clonan on Instagram and LinkedIn and check out The Digital Picnic.

On this HN episode, I get to answer your questions and they are GOOD. ⁠We get to the bottom of: Why you may be so bad at picking the right partner, how to change something within you to make better choices moving forward. Why you do not have to feel guilty for cutting a friend off even if they have zero friends (ahem, accountability) How to deal with a painfully negative mother (whom you adore and do not want to cut out) And what to do if you are at the 7 year mark, unsure if you should stay or leave when there is a house and 2 dogs involved.

The Playbook HR 1 1.26 Ament, Vols Drain the Tide & New Transfer Portal Commits by Fanrun Radio

Do you leave certain conversations feeling drained, anxious, or foggy? Do you notice that some people you speak to have a way of causing you to feel dread? If so, you may have just encountered an energy vampire, someone who literally survives through controlling your consciousness through language, tone, body movements, innuendos, and comments that cause you to wonder what their true intentions are. In this deep and practical episode, Lisa A. Romano, trauma-informed life coach and codependency recovery expert, reveals how to recognize, neutralize, and heal from energetic drain in relationships. You'll learn how energy vampires operate, how trauma wires your nervous system to attract them, and—most importantly—how to stop giving your energy away. Lisa also explores the shadow side of codependency, showing how even caring, selfless people can unknowingly drain others when they haven't healed their inner wounds. In this episode, you'll discover: ⚡ The 6 main types of energy vampires — from emotional dumpers to subtle saboteurs

Listen to this episode, and upgrade your quality of life in 2026. In this week's podcast, Emily dives deep into a concept she calls Energy ROI—Return on Investment. As we navigate the start of a new year, it’s common to feel pressured to do more, but Emily challenges us to look at our calendars and ask: "What is the cost of this entry versus the payoff?" Emily breaks down her "Four Quadrants of Effort" to help you identify where you are gaining momentum and where you are leaking energy. She also shares tactical tools like "Firing the Drain" and the "Power of the Floor" to help you move from decision fatigue into a state of strategic underperformance. By the end of this episode, you won't just have a to-do list; you'll have a "to-don't" list and a clear path to making this year one of actual growth, not just grinding. IN THIS EPISODE The Four Quadrants of Effort: A breakdown of the Sweet Spot (Low Effort/High Joy), The Investment (High Effort/High Joy), The Drain (High Effort/Low Joy), and The Ghost (Low Effort/Low Joy). The Health Halo Trap: Why we often mistake suffering for progress and how to identify "healthy" habits that are actually costing you more than they give back. Four Pointed Questions: Emily offers an audit for your performance wellness versus your actual wellness. The Power of the Floor: Defining the bare minimum you do on your hardest days to ensure you never fail or "end up in the red." The 70% Rule: Why giving 70% effort to mundane tasks allows you to save 100% for the things that truly matter. Eliminating Decision Fatigue: How establishing a consistent routine and planning ahead can preserve your finite energy for the big hurdles.
