Podcasts about drains

Munster GAA chairman Tim Murphy in conversation with Tony Leen Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We all have people in our lives who either elevate us or drain us.The problem is that most of us don't realize just how much our relationships influence our confidence, energy, success, and ability to grow.You may be feeling stuck, exhausted, frustrated, or wondering why you're not making the progress you know you're capable of making. Sometimes the answer isn't another strategy, goal, or productivity hack. It's the people surrounding you every day.In today's episode, I break down exactly how to identify the relationships that are fueling your growth and the ones that may be quietly holding you back.I share powerful exercises to help you recognize energy-giving and energy-draining relationships, better understand your own mindset, and become more intentional about who you allow to influence your life and business.I also teach you how to use my Three HQ framework to understand how your thoughts, emotions, and energy shape the relationships you attract and the results you create.I'm also joined by a few participants who share some of their current relationship and life challenges that you might resonate with, and I explain how to overcome these obstacles.You'll learn how to stop people-pleasing, overcome visibility blocks, strengthen your self-awareness, and build magnetic relationships that support your goals instead of sabotaging them.Join me today to learn how to remove energy drains, strengthen your relationships, and surround yourself with people who help elevate every area of your life.—If this episode lit something inside you, that quiet knowing that you're meant for more, then I want to personally invite you into the most powerful room of the year.ReLaunch To A Rich Life LIVE is a transformative, neuroscience-backed 3-day experience happening September 17–19, 2026 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Send us a text and chime in!The City of Kingman is reminding residents and businesses to keep cooking grease, oils, and food scraps out of sinks and drains to help prevent sewer backups and damage to the City's sewer system. Commonly referred to as FOG, fats, oils, and grease from cooking may go down the drain as a liquid, but once it cools, it can harden inside sewer pipes. Over time, this buildup can block pipes and lead to sewer backups, unpleasant odors, overflows, and costly repairs for both homeowners and the City. Even homes with garbage disposals can experience plumbing problems when grease and large...   For the written story, read here >> https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/kingman-urges-residents-to-keep-grease-out-of-drains/ Check out the CAST11.com Website at: https://CAST11.com Follow the CAST11 Podcast Network on Facebook at: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network

Most business owners chase more deals, more leads, and more revenue — convinced that volume is the answer to keeping more money. But as a fractional CFO who has worked with hundreds of businesses, the host knows firsthand what it feels like to scale to 25 deals a month and still bleed cash.This solo episode breaks down the exact system he uses to identify and eliminate hidden cash drains in any business. If you're a real estate investor or entrepreneur who keeps making more but somehow keeping less, this one is for you.Timeline Highlights[0:26] Why making more does not equal keeping more, and the mindset shift every business owner needs[1:19] Personal story: scaling to 25 deals a month while spending more than the business brought in[1:57] The two biggest cash drains that take companies down — marketing spend and payroll[2:33] The 35% payroll threshold and what to do when you've crossed it[3:20] Why having 25 staff members felt like success but was quietly killing the business[4:00] The quarterly expense audit: why just one to two hours can put thousands back in your pocket[4:53] A simple net profit math example showing why cutting $200 beats chasing $10,000 in new revenue[5:40] Why the best approach attacks both sides: making more and keeping more[6:31] Introducing the PRU exercise and how to run it using three months of bank statements[7:12] How to label every expense: Profitable, Replaceable, or Unnecessary[8:48] The unnecessary category: forgotten subscriptions, unused domains, and costs you forgot you had[9:25] Start with just one month if three feels overwhelming — most owners find thousands on the first pass[10:11] Why the host calls this the $1,000 per hour exercise and how often to run it[11:04] How to handle staff in the PRU process — including what to do with your best performers[11:22] Real results from fractional CFO work: from $1,000 to $50,000 cut per monthKey TakeawaysMore revenue does not automatically mean more profit. Scaling deal volume without controlling expenses can leave you spending more than you make — as the host learned firsthand when 25 deals a month still wasn't enough to stay ahead of costs.Marketing and payroll are the two expenses most likely to sink a business. Marketing needs a measurable return on investment, and payroll should stay under 35% of revenue before you consider adding headcount.The PRU exercise turns expense reviews into a system. Label every expense as Profitable, Replaceable, or Unnecessary using three months of bank statements, and you'll quickly find costs that have no business being there.Cutting expenses delivers returns that new revenue can't match at thin margins. At a 10% net profit margin, eliminating $200 in monthly costs is the equivalent of adding $2,000 in new revenue.One to two hours per quarter is enough to run a lean business. Doing the PRU exercise consistently — even starting with just one month — can realistically put $12,000 or more back into your pocket over the course of a year.Links & Resources• Schedule a free discovery call — profitrei.comClosingIf this episode helped you see where your cash might be quietly disappearing, share it with a business owner who needs to hear it.

Mike didn't just witness the 1994 soccer revolution; he was the tactical anchor and engine room for it. From his legendary days as a SLU Billiken to becoming the first American to play in Mexico's top flight with Pumas, he has navigated some of the toughest, grittiest environments in soccer history. With the World Cup returning to the U.S. in 2026, he joins us at the perfect moment to bridge his historic playing days with his elite coaching career across the USMNT, New York Red Bulls, and St. Louis CITY SC.We get "on the grass" with the mastermind himself to cover:The 1994 Crucible: We dive into what the internal vibe was like in the locker room when players felt they were playing for the literal survival of the sport in the U.S..

He reveals the behind-the-scenes non-negotiables required to establish a club's expansion identity.The Road to 2026 & Legacy: We ask whether the return of the tournament feels like a true "mission accomplished" moment for his generation. Plus, he reveals the exact trait the current 2026 USMNT roster needs to "steal" from the 1994 squad to achieve real success.Follow the show on X and/or Instagram (@BallWatchingSTL)!

What Is Spiritual Weariness and How Can We Find Renewal?   In this episode of The Good Faith Podcast, Curtis Chang chats with Tish Harrison Warren—Anglican priest, former New York Times columnist, and author of What Grows in Weary Lands—about burnout, spiritual weariness, and the exhaustion that escapism and rest alone cannot fix. Tish explains how polarization, digital distraction, consumerism, and isolation can leave us tempted to "flame out" or "numb out." Instead, she invites listeners to "go deeper" through prayer, silence, embodied community, Sabbath, and the difficult but meaningful commitments that lead to lasting renewal.   00:36 - Introduction to World Weariness 02:43 - Tish Describes the Draining Experience of Public Faith 06:04 - What Are the Cultural Factors of Collective Burnout? 13:01 - Dysfunctional Responses: Reinvention and Escape 15:01 - Flame Out, Numb Out, or Go Deep 20:51 - Are There Practical Steps to Go Deep? 23:29 - The Practice of "Staying in Your Cell" 26:40 - The Tough Sell of Going Deeper 32:07 - The "Dark Night of the Soul" as a Growth Stage  36:11 - Learning from Historic Church Practices  38:04 - What Do Healthy Rhythms of Engagement and Withdrawal Look Like?   Sign up for The After Party Informational Webinars Sign up for The Good List   Mentioned in This Episode: Tish Harrison Warren's What Grows in Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience The Ezra Klein Show: Burned Out?

Have you ever come home from a social event, a lunch, a phone call with a friend — and felt more drained than when you left? That's not introversion. That might be your nervous system telling you something important about which relationships are feeding you and which ones are feeding on you.

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever sat down to work with everything you needed, yet still couldn't get anything done? While we often blame a lack of motivation or discipline, productivity stalls are frequently caused by hidden energy leaks rather than a lack of willpower. Energy is the true currency of productivity, and several specific factors can drain it in ways you might not even realize are connected to your output.This week, episode 313 of the Positively Living® Podcast explores five critical factors that have a direct, measurable impact on your focus and ability to finish your tasks.Key Takeaways:Sleep is not a luxury or a reward for finishing your to-do list; it is a biological requirement for your brain to function.Losing just one or two hours of sleep a night significantly impairs attention and decision-making.After seventeen to nineteen hours without sleep, your cognitive performance is equivalent to a blood alcohol level of 0.05%.Your brain consumes roughly 20% of your body's total energy, and blood sugar crashes from skipping meals can slow your reaction times and increase irritability.Hormones like estrogen and cortisol directly affect your mood, motivation, and the part of the brain responsible for planning and focus.Simple changes like opening a window or adjusting your lighting can have an immediate impact on your ability to concentrate.Learn more about Positively LivingⓇ and Lisa at https://positivelyproductive.com/podcast/CONNECT WITH LISA ZAWROTNY:FacebookInstagramResourcesWork with Lisa! LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Books Mentioned AmazonGlucose ResearchPrefrontal Cortex ResearchMenstrual Cycle ResearchEnvironment ResearchPTSD ResearchEp 312: Why Your Energy is More Important Than Your Time Ep 249: Five Energizing Habits to Make You More Productive Ep 243: How Your Home Office Makes You More Productive Decluttering Playlist(Find links to books/gear on the Positively Productive Resources Page.)Dance Song Playlist V1, V2, V3Music by Ian and Jeff ZawrotnyStart your own podcast with Buzzsprout!Request this Toolkit and other free resources at the Resources Page.

Why do some leaders leave you energised - while others quietly exhaust you? Michelle Martin sits down with Columbia University's Adam Galinsky, author of INSPIRE (The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others), to unpack the psychology behind leadership that truly moves people. Drawing on three decades of research, Galinsky explains why inspiration isn’t a personality trait - but a set of behaviours we can all learn. From Visionary to Exemplar to Mentor, discover the three roles that define leaders who elevate others.We explore how these ideas play out not just in boardrooms - but in families, and everyday life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why One Part of Work Energizes You (and Another Drains You) Have you ever crushed one part of your job and completely dreaded another? Felt energized by a project one day, then wiped out by a different one the next? And then wondered what's wrong with you? Here's what most high-achieving professionals don't realize: That uneven energy isn't random. It's a signal. So many successful people aren't unhappy because they're failing. They're unhappy because they've normalized tolerating work that doesn't match how they're actually wired to thrive. And over time, that looks like burnout, anxiety, a loss of confidence, or wondering why the success you worked so hard for doesn't feel the way you thought it would. In this episode, Blake explores why stress is often friction, not failure, and what it really means when work feels harder than it should. She explains why being adaptable can quietly become self-abandonment, and the personal story from her Stitch Fix days that changed how she understood misalignment for good.   Episode Highlights Why Work Drains You: It Isn't Always About Workload  [00:45] – Tolerating misalignment looks like burnout, frustration & numbness  [02:10] – What the Kolbe assessment reveals about how you naturally solve problems  [03:30] – When adaptability becomes self-abandonment   The Hidden Cost of Being Highly Capable  [04:55] – Why capable people get handed more and carry it silently  [06:20] – How performing well can hide the real cost of misalignment  [07:40] – The Stitch Fix story: same title, completely different energy   Misalignment vs. Inadequacy  [09:00] – "It felt like a fish trying to climb a tree" and what that actually means  [10:15] – Why "I should be able to do this" is often the wrong question  [11:30] – How understanding your Unique Fingerprint for Success™ changes everything   Strategic Realignment (Without Blowing Up Your Life)  [12:20] – You don't have to quit- you need alignment, not a reset  [13:10] – Clients see meaningful shifts in 4–6 weeks  [14:00] – In alignment, you're two to three times more effective   Powerful Quotes "Adaptability without self-awareness very often becomes self-abandonment." — Blake Schofield "I thought the stress meant something was wrong with me. But it didn't. It meant there was a mismatch — misalignment, not inadequacy." — Blake Schofield "The people who will continue to thrive are not the ones trying to be everything to everyone. It will be the people who deeply understand how they create their highest value." — Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Let's explore what's possible for your team: If your company is investing in burnout, wellness or adaptability initiatives, but seeing rising burnout, disengagement, or retention risk, it may be time to address the root cause. We identify & diagnose organizational risk - surfacing the key drivers of burnout, leadership capacity and adaptability strains impacting your team; reduce leadership attrition, disengagement and preventable turnover; equip your leaders with the skills to increase their productivity & lead effectively during pressure and uncertainty.    Explore Workshops, Leadership Capacity Risk Assessments, Leadership Development or Consulting at https://impactwithease.com/corporate-training-consulting/   Executive Coaching:  For founders, executives, and senior leaders who are successful but feeling drained, stagnant, or uncertain about their next step.

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 348 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm talking about one of the biggest hidden drains on your time and energy—and something most people don't even realize is happening.It's not over-scheduling. It's not poor time management. It's what you're tolerating.In this episode, I walk you through how the small things you ignore, justify, or “put up with” are quietly draining your energy—and how shifting out of that pattern changes everything.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:• Why resentment is a powerful signal that something in your life needs a boundary. • How tolerating things that don't feel right creates a constant, invisible drain on your energy. • The stories we tell ourselves to justify staying in situations that don't serve us. • Why tolerating something is actually a form of self-abandonment, not “being nice.” • How asking “What am I tolerating?” can be more powerful than trying to manage your time better.One of the most important truths in this episode is this: If something is consistently draining you and it's still happening, you are participating in it—and that's where your power is.When you shift from overriding yourself to being in relationship with yourself, you stop tolerating what doesn't align with you. And that's when boundaries stop being something you set—and become something you have.You don't have to overhaul your entire life. Start with one thing. Get honest about what you're tolerating, the story you're telling yourself, and what's actually true.Because when you stop tolerating what drains you, you don't just get your time back—you get your energy, your presence, and yourself back.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

Rep. Pat Ryan and Rep. Chris Deluzio talk with Jen Psaki about Donald Trump's mismanagement of his war of choice in Iran and the bizarre distraction of Pete Hegseth's obnoxiousness.

Your kid keeps doing the same thing over and over and you can't find a consequence that fits. There's no natural fallout for whining, talking back, sibling fighting, ignoring screen time limits, or “forgetting” something that forces you into an extra trip across town, so you end up stuck between yelling, taking away the iPad, or giving in just to make it stop.Learn about a technique called energy drain. We talk through the core idea that parents have a limited bucket of energy and certain behaviors drain it, plus exactly how to name that drain calmly and with empathy. I give scripts you can use with younger kids (yes, a little drama can help) and a simpler, more casual version for tweens and teens, including why a quick family meeting can prevent pushback.Then we get to the part where real learning happens: after everyone is calm, you invite repair. You ask your child how they want to “put some energy back,” use an age-appropriate energy drain list of tasks they don't normally do, and build buy-in by creating that list together.
