Most people think performance is about more reps, more data, more tech, or more intensity. But according to human performance educator Rob Wilson, the truth is far more uncomfortable: most elite performers don't actually understand their own bodies, identities, or inner signals—and it's costing them years of longevity, clarity, and resilience.In this powerful conversation, Mark Divine and Rob Wilson break down the real keys to performance longevity, emotional resilience, identity beyond your job title, and why self-awareness is the most underrated skill in elite sport, tactical teams, and everyday life.From breathwork, interoception, and spinal health… to transitions out of high-status careers… to the hidden dangers of burnout and tech dependency… this episode explores the deep work behind staying healthy, powerful, and fully human in a high-performance world.If you're an athlete, coach, operator, or leader who wants to sustain excellence without breaking your body, mind, or identity—this conversation will shift how you train, lead, and live.In this episode, you'll learn:1. Why high performers must become “problem seekers,” not just problem solvers2. How to become the observer of your own training instead of a consumer of metrics3. Why tech overload is weakening self-awareness and decision-making4. How breathwork and spinal health unlock long-term resilience5. Why identity collapse affects elite operators and athletes after transition6. How emotional intelligence amplifies performance and protects mental health7. What it really takes to prevent burnout and injury in high-stress environments8.

Are you making your days count? Is triathlon your fuel for life or is life your fuel for triathlon? It's easy to put too much pressure on ourselves with a precise target, but the truth is, going inward and staying the course will take care of most of it. We owe it to ourselves to get the most out of triathlon and life but only have so much bandwidth to always be in "chase mode." Today we look at ways to pull back the external and focus more on making real, internal improvements, which ultimately lead to long term satisfaction and real growth. We also have a little fun with Christmas music at the end of the cast.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. Today we welcome special guest Lauren Makler, Founder of Cofertility. In this episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored, the doctors sit down with Lauren Makler to explore why transparency is essential in modern egg donation. For years, donor conception carried an unnecessary layer of secrecy. Parents often felt shame discussing the use of an egg donor, and donor-conceived children sometimes internalized guilt or discomfort, feeling that the process was transactional, or that the donor was excluded from any meaningful connection. Lauren explains how the Cofertility model aims to reshape this narrative entirely. Prospective egg donors undergo extensive medical and psychological screening before being accepted. Those who qualify complete an extraordinarily detailed profile allowing families to choose a donor whose values, background, and goals align with theirs. The donor is empowered too since she keeps half of her eggs for future use. Only a limited number of families can match with each donor, and together, donors and recipient families determine their preferred level of ongoing contact. At minimum, recipients receive identifying information, but many matches opt for deeper communication, shared updates, or even in-person meetings over time. This thoughtful, relationship-centered approach helps ensure that donor-conceived children grow up with honesty, openness, and pride in their origin story. Transparency removes shame, strengthens family identity, and honors the donor's contribution in a meaningful, human way. At its core, every child's conception however it happens, should be embraced with joy, not secrecy. This podcast was sponsored by Cofertility.

What if the key to navigating fertility challenges isn't just in the science — but in the way you're emotionally supported through it?So many people walk into fertility treatment believing the medical steps are the whole picture… yet feel blindsided when the emotional toll hits just as hard (if not harder).Maybe you've felt unheard in appointments, rushed through decisions, or treated like another chart in the queue — and it leaves you questioning your own strength, your hope, and your identity.But what if the missing piece isn't you… it's the lack of empathy, space, and genuine human connection in your care? Today's conversation flips that narrative — and shows you what compassionate, patient-centered fertility medicine can truly look like.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why empathy isn't a “soft skill” but a clinical essential in reproductive medicineHow listening, storytelling, and emotional validation transform the patient experienceThe real reasons patients burn out (even with financial coverage) — and how to protect your energyWhat it looks like when science and humanity work together to support your fertility journeyWhether you're in the thick of treatment or supporting someone who is, this episode is a powerful reminder that you deserve care that sees all of you — your hope, your grief, your resilience, and your story.How to Connect with Dr. Maria Costantini Ferrando:Visit the RMA Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey website: https://rmanj.comEmail Dr. Maria directly: maria.costantini@rmanj.comSchedule an appointment or learn more about their team and services through the RMA siteCONNECT with Lisa & get IVF COACHING SUPPORT Download IVF Mindset Shift Guide https://ivfmanifestingamiracle.myflodesk.com BOOK a complimentary DISCOVERY CALL BOOK: ‘HOLD ON, BABY!

In this GoodKind Podcast episode, Clayton, Amy, and Chris dive into the confusing world of apologies — especially how kids (and adults) use the words “I'm sorry” to mean very different things. What starts as a lighthearted moment with an accidental speaking-over-one-another jab, quickly moves into a surprisingly rich discussion about forgiveness, empathy, conflict, and how families can model healthy emotional habits.The team identifies three distinct categories of apology:Forgiveness Apologies — “I did something wrong. Will you forgive me?”Empathy Apologies — “I'm sorry that happened to you.”Excuse-Me Apologies — small, accidental, social-grace moments that don't require forgiveness.They explore why kids mix these up, why parents often do too, and how to narrate the difference for your family. They also get honest about patterns in marriage (“Do I need forgiveness or is this a small misstep?”), sibling conflict without true repentance, and how to respond when someone apologizes in a different category than you expect.If you've ever wondered why your child apologizes for bumping into a cabinet… or why you bristle when your spouse says “I forgive you” for something you didn't think was a big deal… this episode will give you a simple, practical framework for navigating daily conflict with more clarity, grace, and emotional honesty.TakeawaysYou learn that there are three kinds of “sorry”—forgiveness, empathy, and “excuse me”—and naming the difference brings clarity to family conversations.Kids often confuse empathy with apology, and simple, clear language helps them separate the two.Real repair happens when someone can say, “Will you forgive me?” and take ownership for actual harm.Not everything needs forgiveness; some moments only need a brief acknowledgment of a small mistake.Conflict gets easier when you recognize which apology category you're in—and when someone else is in a different one.Empathy becomes a tool for deciding what kind of repair a situation really needs.Modeling healthy, honest apologies as parents helps shape the emotional habits of the whole home.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Apologies and Forgiveness02:32 Understanding Different Types of Apologies05:15 The Complexity of Apologies in Parenting07:43 Navigating Apologies with Children10:50 The Role of Empathy in Apologies13:31 Clarifying Misunderstandings in Apologies16:22 Teaching Children About Apologies19:19 Conclusion and Key Takeawaysapology types, family communication, Christian parenting, teaching kids forgiveness, sibling conflict resolution, emotional literacy for kids, Christian family habits, how to apologize well, empathy vs forgiveness

Siquoyia Blue invites you into a candid, no-nonsense conversation about the people who only appear when it's convenient — friends who expect you to live life on their timetable, partners who treat presence like a resource, and the gentle, lonely joy of choosing a quiet night in over a life on demand. Through personal stories, sharp observations, and the hard-earned wisdom of someone who reads energy before sentences finish, this episode traces the moment you stop explaining yourself and start taking inventory: who truly shows up, who is seasonal, and who is simply an arrangement you never agreed to. Listen for practical truth-telling about setting boundaries, trusting your intuition, and honoring your version of living — whether that’s tea and a movie or a night out — because real connection isn’t conditional, and your empathy is your power, not your weakness.

Wait, is empathy a sin now? Have a listen.

Wait, is empathy a sin now? Have a listen.

This is a fan fav episode. When you think of empathy you may think of being overpowered with feelings and emotions for someone close to you that is having a response to something. Possibly you lump sympathy in the same basket with empathy and toss kindness in for good measure. Stanford professor and psychologist, Jamil Saki, joins me to not only break down the distinction between empathy and sympathy, but also explains the reason that empathy is critical to success and achieving goals. Understanding how empathy is so closely connected to how we advance as communities and build stronger relationships is life changing.

In today's episode, Lee Hammock, The self aware #narcissist talks about how narcissistic people con you out of your money. How financial abuse from a narcissist works on different ends of the spectrum and doesn't always require them to have the money.

Send us a textCoffee may nudge biology, but only within limits. We dig into new research suggesting that three to four cups a day align with longer telomeres for people with severe mental illness, then challenge the hype with the caveats that matter: observational design, smoking as a confounder, wildly different cup sizes and brew methods, and the reality that more caffeine can erase potential benefits. We translate the science into practical guidance—why moderation beats megadoses, how 400 mg per day became a sensible upper bound, and where sleep and stress fit into the bigger picture of healthy aging.Then we pivot to a feline mystery that spans millennia. Long before house cats padded through Chinese homes, leopard cats were the stealthy mousers around early settlements, drawn by grain and the rodents it attracts. Using mitochondrial DNA from ancient remains—paired with clues from art—we trace the species shift around the eighth century as domestic cats, descended from the African wildcat, traveled the Silk Road and found their place beside people. Tameness, tolerance, and a knack for living close to humans helped them outcompete their wild cousins in a world reshaped by trade and urban life.Across both stories runs one thread: human routines create niches that biology rushes to fill. Our cups change our days at a cellular level, and our granaries and roads alter which animals share our spaces.

Scott Smith: Empathy and Availability Define Excellent Product Ownership Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: Always Present, Always Available, Always Curious "They are always present. They always make themselves available for team members that need them." - Scott Smith   Scott is currently working with a Product Owner who exemplifies what great PO collaboration looks like. This person is always present—not just physically but mentally engaged with the team's work and challenges. They make themselves available for team members who need them, responding actively on the team chat and interacting consistently.  What makes this PO stand out is their empathy and curiosity. Instead of being defensive when questions arise or challenges emerge, they lean into helping the team understand and solve problems. They show genuine curiosity about what the team is experiencing, asking questions and exploring solutions together rather than dictating answers.  This PO understands that their role isn't to be the smartest person in the room but to be the most available, most collaborative, and most curious. The result is a team that feels supported and empowered, with clear direction and someone who genuinely helps them answer the hard questions. Scott's experience with this PO demonstrates that presence, availability, empathy, and curiosity are the foundations of great Product Owner work.   Self-reflection Question: How present and available are you to your team, and do you approach their questions with curiosity or defensiveness? The Bad Product Owner: Never There When the Team Needs Direction "The PO was never present. The team had lack of clarity, and vision, and had no direction or someone who would help answer those questions." - Scott Smith   Scott has also experienced the opposite extreme—a Product Owner who was never present. This absence created a cascade of problems for the team. Without regular access to the PO, the team lacked clarity about priorities, vision, and direction. They had questions that went unanswered and decisions that couldn't be made.  The result was frustration and a team that couldn't move forward effectively. An absent PO creates a vacuum where uncertainty thrives. Teams end up making assumptions, second-guessing decisions, and feeling disconnected from the purpose of their work.  The lack of someone who can help answer strategic questions or provide guidance means the team operates in the dark, building things without confidence that they're building the right things. Scott's experience highlights a fundamental truth about Product Ownership: presence isn't optional.  Teams need a PO who shows up, engages, and stays connected to the work. Without that presence, even the most skilled team will struggle to deliver value because they can't align their efforts with the product vision and customer needs.   Self-reflection Question: If your team were asked whether you're present and available as a Product Owner or Scrum Master, what would they say?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

In this engaging conversation on the Adulting with Horses podcast, Heather and Natalie explore the themes of trusting the process, the importance of energy and intention in life, and the dynamics of horse ownership. They share personal stories about their experiences with horses, the emotional lives of these animals, and the significance of connection and communication in building relationships with them. The discussion also delves into the challenges of making decisions regarding horse care, the role of personality in horse selection, and the power of self-reflection and writing in navigating life's complexities. Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of empathy and understanding in both horse care and personal relationships, while also planning for future fun and community engagement.TakeawaysTrust the process and be open to the journey.Energy and intention shape our experiences.Returning to riding can be a personal journey of rediscovery.Understanding horse behavior is key to effective communication.Connection with horses is essential for a fulfilling relationship.Decisions about horse ownership should consider the horse's needs.Empathy plays a crucial role in horse care and relationships.Personality influences the fit between horse and rider.Writing can help clarify thoughts and feelings.Building a supportive community enhances the equestrian experience.Keywords trusting the process, energy, intention, horse behavior, connection, horse ownership, empathy, personality, writing, community, decision making, reflectionChapters00:00Trusting the Process: A Disney Adventure03:08Energy and Intent: Creating Your Reality06:01Returning to Riding: A Journey of Confidence08:59Understanding Your Horse: Signs of Change12:03Riding in the Dark: Safety and Confidence15:02The Importance of Routine: Observing Behavior18:00The Cat Chronicles: Lessons in Care and Attention20:59Deciding on Retirement: Knowing When to Let Go27:04Building Connections with Horses30:18Understanding Horse and Rider Compatibility36:06When to Let Go of a Horse41:47The Importance of Empathy in Horse Care46:56Finding Peace in the Horse Community

In this episode, I interview Ruthann Anderson, CEO of CAPCA (California Association of Pest Control Advisors). Ruthann explains that CAPCA represents licensed PCAs (Pest Control Advisors) who she describes as “plant doctors,” often recommending non-chemical solutions such as irrigation changes, soil sampling, and nutrition adjustments before turning to pesticides. They advise across agriculture, turf, ornamental, and urban environments, and CAPCA focuses on statewide education and advocacy to support the profession. She discusses challenges like public perception and inconsistent enforcement in the past. A major example is the BeeWhere program, which CAPCA helped modernize to improve communication between beekeepers and pesticide applicators to reduce bee losses, showing how collaboration across groups leads to better outcomes.We also discuss the complexity of pest management, including public health issues like rat infestations, and the misconception that agriculture uses chemicals carelessly. Ruthann mentions grant-funded work documenting over 200 examples of PCAs choosing non-chemical approaches, which CAPCA plans to publish.We also dive into United Ag's mission to transform healthcare in agriculture: simplifying access, reducing costs, and putting empathy first with zero-copay clinics in rural communities. Ruthann highlights how thoughtful decisions, whether in farming or healthcare, lead to better outcomes, and she shares how CAPCA members can leverage United Ag's network for reliable health coverage.CAPCA: https://capca.com/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Ruthann Anderson, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

**Shame doesn't just make you feel bad, it fundamentally shapes how you experience your own body and desires.** Returning guest Dr. Alison Ash breaks down exactly why shame is so destructive to sexual wellness. Unlike guilt (which says you did something wrong), shame tells you that *you yourself* are wrong, creating a deep fear of rejection that literally dysregulates your nervous system. This isn't something we're born with. It develops through early experiences where we internalize negative reactions, eventually becoming that harsh inner critic voice. The contradictory messages are especially confusing: women should look desirable but not actually desire, while men should always be sexually available yet their desire is somehow dangerous. These cultural and religious influences create confusion that conscious rejection alone can't fix. Here's where it gets interesting: empathy is shame's antidote. When someone truly accepts you without judgment, healing becomes possible. (This is why finding sex-positive communities matters so much.) Dr. Aly explains how even BDSM can be healing for trauma survivors through consensual power exchange—reclaiming control over experiences where they previously had none. What if the fantasies or interests that make you feel broken are actually completely normal? Ready to understand the difference between your own feelings and society's expectations? This conversation offers practical strategies for recognizing shame's sources and reclaiming your agency.

In this inspiring and deeply authentic episode, Mitch sits down with someone he recently shared the TEDx stage with - Dr. Angela Walker Franklin. Dr. Franklin is the President and CEO of Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences, and not only is she the first woman and first person of color to hold that role in the university's 125+ year history… she's also a licensed clinical psychologist, a published author, and a powerful voice for leading with empathy, courage, and clarity. They dive into her unique upbringing in a small South Carolina town - where her family ran a funeral home - and how that shaped her perspective on life, leadership, and compassion. You'll hear how her father made a bold, sacrificial pivot from medical school to embalming school to support the family's legacy… and how Dr. Franklin has brought that same spirit of service and innovation into her work today. They also explore the origins of her impactful TEDx talk, "How to Call Out the Elephant in the Room," and how she brought this strategy into leadership meetings, creating a safe space for honest dialogue and collaboration. This episode is filled with laughter, heartfelt stories, and powerful strategies for anyone looking to lead well, connect deeply, and navigate hard conversations with grace. Let's go!

Scott Galloway is a serial entrepreneur, NYU Stern professor, and best-selling author known for his candid takes on business, masculinity, and modern leadership. Raised by a single immigrant mother, Scott Galloway built and sold companies worth hundreds of millions and has dedicated his career to unpacking the realities of success and manhood in today's society. His latest book, "Notes on Being a Man," challenges conventional wisdom while offering a blueprint for personal growth, fatherhood, and meaningful dialogue about what it means to be a man. Key Takeaways: The crisis of masculinity today isn't just about men feeling lost—it's reflected in statistics surrounding addiction, homelessness, suicide, and economic viability. Empathy and honest conversations are needed to help young men find purpose and direction. Social isolation and lack of social capital are major issues facing young men, fueled by screen-addiction and technology that keeps them disengaged from real relationships and experiences. True parental impact comes from presence—whatScott Galloway calls "garbage time"—consistent, non-scripted moments where children feel valued and loved. Hard conversations and genuine involvement from male role models are essential for building resilient, confident adults. Sound Bites: "If you walk into a morgue and there's five people who've died by suicide, four of them are men." "Young men age 20 to 30 are now spending less time outside than prison inmates." "Garbage time, having the tough conversations and always ensuring that every day they know... that's the thing, it's most important to me in my life is seeing them and talking to them."

Send us a textThe moment you step through the door for a holiday visit, everything feels different: expired food in the fridge, untouched meds, slippery steps, and a parent who seems a little more confused than the last FaceTime. That's the recognition moment countless families experience in December—and the exact point where a responsive, empathetic home care agency can make all the difference.We dive into a practical playbook for meeting families where they are right now. You'll hear how to craft clear, seasonal messaging that mirrors what adult children see—bath avoidance, mobility issues, unpaid bills, loneliness—and offer one simple next step: a same-day safety assessment. We walk through a high-converting email cadence for early December, Christmas week, and post-New Year; social and search strategies that reach ages 45–65; and print leave-behinds designed for referral partners who want tools, not pitches. You'll also get our winter home safety checklist approach, plus ideas to get you in the home quickly and respectfully.Beyond marketing, we share community moves that build genuine goodwill and long-term referrals: cookie decorating events with activity directors, elf-style deliveries with small gifts, reading classic holiday stories, partnering with Meals on Wheels, and sponsoring residents who don't have family. We also outline concrete ways to support current clients through the season—decorating safely, gift shopping, post office runs, worship transport, wellness checks, and caregiver-led connections with distant relatives—so care feels personal and present.If you're ready to turn December's urgency into compassionate action, this guide gives you the words, the assets, and the timing to show up fast and do real good.

What does it really mean to live with courage and conviction?On today's episode, we sit down with Dr. John Amaechi — organizational psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and the first openly gay NBA player. Along his journey, John always set out to be himself in a world that repeatedly told him he was too big, too soft-spoken, too smart, too different. In this conversation, John brings us into parts of his internal world that are hard for any of us to talk about: navigating shame, identity, belonging, and the responsibility of not shrinking so others can stay comfortable. He talks about the cost of visibility, and the radical power of deciding that your worth is not up for negotiation.In this episode, we explore:How to move from clarity to conviction in your personal and professional lifeWhy vulnerability is a core strength of courageous leadershipThe key to creating relationships rooted in empathy and presenceHow to develop moral courage — and know when to walk awayWhat it means to lead from your first principlesThrough stories drawn from sport, psychology, and leadership, John challenges our cultural obsession with individual achievement and redefines what it means to succeed — not by how high you climb, but by how deeply you care and how many people you lift along the way. ___________________________________________________Links & Resources:Subscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

How do you fix what's not working without losing trust in the process? On this episode of The Radical Candor Podcast, Kim and Amy talk with beloved Harvard Business professor Frances Frei and her wife, CEO and bestselling author Anne Morriss, about why speed and care aren't opposites — and how the right sequence of actions can help you go faster and strengthen relationships along the way. Anne and Frances break down the five-day framework behind their book Move Fast and Fix Things, share real stories from coaching leaders and teams, and explain why so many of us misdiagnose the problems we're trying to solve.

A lot has happened since our first chat in 2021. Jordan dives deep into the personal and professional work that has allowed her to maintain elite performance over an impressive 16+ season career. "The Governor" (Jordan's nickname) opens up about the immense internal work required to evolve from being a quiet "leader by action" to a vocal and empathetic captain for her team. Jordan also shares her experience navigating a difficult personal period, including a divorce, and how she learned to separate her self-worth from her on-court performance. It's a candid conversation about finding inner peace, the importance of "failing fast" to learn, and her excitement for growing the future of women’s volleyball in the United States through ventures like Love Nebraska and League One Volleyball. This is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and the power of continual evolution. In This Episode: 16+ Seasons of Elite Performance: Jordan shares what still excites her about lacing up and how she remains a student of the sport after almost two decades. The Evolution of Leadership: We discuss the shift from being a "leader by action" to a vocal, empathetic captain who builds deeper connections with her teammates. Beyond the White Lines: Why true success and team cohesion require knowing the person behind the athlete, not just their on-court skill. The Hardest Hurdle: Jordan opens up about the immense internal work required to find peace and process her divorce, and how she used that time to define her self-worth outside of volleyball. Failing Fast: The necessity of taking risks in practice and the importance of a "goldfish mindset" for quick failure and recovery. Love Nebraska and League One Volleyball: Her passion for growing the sport domestically and the importance of creating opportunities for female athletes to thrive at home.
