Are you letting anxiety and the need to play it safe hold you hostage in your relationships and personal growth? Too often, fear—of rejection, failure, or the unknown—becomes the invisible fence shaping our actions. Perfectionism, procrastination, overthinking, and the constant urge to avoid discomfort can shrink our lives, leaving us disconnected from our true selves and the people we care about most. In this episode, we explore how fear influences perfectionism, anxiety, and avoidance in our relationships and daily lives. Discover compassionate approaches to working with anxiety—learning why fighting it doesn't work, and how, instead, our willingness to acknowledge, understand, and even befriend discomfort can become a gateway to deeper connection and greater freedom. Through practical tools and real-world strategies like "uncertainty workouts," values-based action, and self-compassion, this episode aims to help you navigate the messy, beautiful process of showing up more authentically for yourself and those you care about. Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona is on a mission to help people break free from ineffective, play-it-safe patterns so they can begin living rich, purposeful, and meaningful lives. A trained psychologist, she is the author of seven books and co-author of two more. Her expertise has led her to present workshops at both national and international conferences. She also runs a boutique therapy and coaching practice that specializes in the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for anxiety. Passionate about her work, she delights in creating personalized resources for every client she serves.   Episode Highlights 06:03 The interconnectedness of anxiety and its impact on life. 09:07 The importance of accepting anxiety instead of fighting it. 10:02 Using values to guide responses and reduce anxiety's control. 13:50 The need to tolerate discomfort in relationships. 18:53 Navigating fear of commitment and embracing uncertainty. 22:49 Building tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty. 24:32 How avoiding uncomfortable emotions can increase suffering and relates to trauma and emotional regulation. 29:52 Values-based exposure and compassionate approaches to fear. 33:41 Developing micro skills for managing difficult conversations. 35:41 Integrating self-compassion and Wise Moves for anxiety management. 38:01 Practical resources, parenting insights, and closing reflections.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Take a moment to pause with a deep inhale and exhale, noticing sensations in your body before engaging in difficult conversations or when feeling anxious. Instead of fighting anxiety, recognize it as a protective part of your humanity and make room for it. When anxiety arises, ask yourself what truly matters to you in that moment to guide your response. Embrace uncomfortable feelings in relationships without avoidance, viewing them as essential for growth and authenticity. Intentionally expose yourself to uncertainty in small, manageable ways (like trying a new restaurant or activity) to build tolerance. When fear surfaces, actively choose actions that align with your core values—even if they feel difficult. Treat yourself with gentleness during moments of avoidance, procrastination, or anxiety, recognizing your effort and courage. When facing a fearful situation, pause and check in with your body and thoughts, then proceed with intentionality rather than rushing through.   Mentioned The ACT Workbook for Teens with OCD (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Living Beyond OCD Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Escaping the Emotional Roller Coaster (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Parenting a Troubled Teen (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Acceptance and Commitment Skills for Perfectionism and High-Achieving Behaviors (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The ACT Workbook for the Anxious Procrastinator (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Dr. Z's Online Classes (link) ERP 461: How to Increase Psychological Flexibility for Healthy Relationships — An Interview with Dr. Steven Hayes ERP 238: How To Find Your Emotional Balance In Relationship 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free relationship guide) (pdf)   Connect with Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona Websites: thisisdoctorz.com | eastbaybehaviortherapycenter.com Facebook: facebook.com/EastBayBehaviorTherapyCenter | facebook.com/Dr-Z-102029237841421 X: twitter.com/DrZ_behaviorist YouTube: linkedin.com/in/patricia-e-zurita-ona-psy-d-949b5a15 Instagram: instagram.com/dr.z.passionatebehaviorist  

MILAB Whistleblower: Nathan Ciszek — Black Ops, Targeting & V2K(Typical Skeptic Podcast #2291 • 9 PM ET)Short Hook (for thumbnail/first line)“Inside the machine: MILAB ops, targeting tech, and V2K—Nathan Ciszek returns.”Description (YouTube/Rumble/Spreaker)Fan-favorite Nathan Ciszek returns to unpack his experiences as a MILAB (Military Abduction) whistleblower, alleged black-ops programs, targeted individual tactics, and V2K/telepathic interfaces. We'll dig into memory manipulation, handler dynamics, psy-ops, tech signatures, and how experiencers reclaim sovereignty.

When pipeline starts slipping and targets go up, most revenue leaders do the same thing: they panic. They launch new experiments, adopt the latest AI tools, and try to do more, faster, harder. But what if that's exactly what's keeping you stuck?This episode is part of a 5-part series exploring the journey B2B revenue leaders take from reactive chaos to understanding and measuring their full revenue factory, and transforming their careers in the process. Each stage represents a critical transformation moment that separates leaders who consistently hit their targets and drive real results from those who scramble every quarter wondering why nothing's working.This episode explores Stage 1: The Panic Response, and it represents the first stage in revenue transformation. You're likely in Stage 1 if you're asking questions like, "What experiments should I try next?", "What are other companies doing that I should copy?", or "What AI tool is going to save my pipeline?".What We Cover in This Episode:Why the question "What experiments should I try next?" is fundamentally wrongHow to recognize if you're trapped in The Panic ResponseThe uncomfortable truth about why transformation only happens outside your comfort zoneWhat it actually takes to move from reactive scrambling to strategic confidenceWhy adding more tactics to a broken foundation only creates more noise in an already chaotic systemThe real reason you can't measure the impact of your investments, and what that means for your ability to drive growthWhat fundamental questions you're NOT asking because you don't have the data model to answer themThe moment of decision that separates leaders who transform from leaders who stay stuckHow to stop copying what other companies are doing and start building what actually works for YOUR revenue factoryIf you've ever felt like you're working harder than ever but can't prove you're moving the needle, this episode is for you.—This episode is powered by Passetto. If you're tired of staring at dashboards that don't tell you what you need to know, you're not alone. Most revenue leaders are flying blind because of the Pipeline Black Box™, a critical data gap that keeps you from understanding what's actually driving results. Passetto transforms how you run your revenue engine, so you can finally see what's working, fix what's not, and scale with precision.Tired of guessing what's generating pipeline and what's draining your resources?

EQUIPPED: Escaping The Prison Of Unforgiveness w/Darren Tyler

In this special public service announcement episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a frustrating battle with Spotify that's threatening the very soul of my podcast - its theme song. After three years and 180+ episodes of using "Half Awake" by Joey Pecoraro (which I legally licensed back in 2021), Spotify's AI suddenly started flagging my episodes for copyright infringement. The story of how this song became part of my podcast is deeply personal - it came to me through creative inspiration while planning the show, and Joey graciously agreed to let me use it. Now Spotify wants to force me to manually appeal every single episode going forward, despite my valid license. And there's no guarantee of prompt resolution; in fact, I'm still waiting on replies more than a week after submitting appeals.Their customer service essentially told me to accept this new weekly homework or lose my Spotify audience. I explore why this matters for the entire podcasting ecosystem, especially as Spotify pushes to become a major hosting platform while simultaneously failing to support creators who legally use music. This isn't just about my inconvenience - it's about a platform that profits from our content refusing to implement basic systems to verify licensing agreements, potentially silencing smaller voices who can't fight back.Since this episode was recorded, Spotify has still yet to reinstate episodes 181, 182, or 184. It reinstated episode 180 after successful completion of the appeals process, but has ignored my appeals on these other 3 episodes. Episodes 183, 185, and 186 appear unaffected, while the future for episodes after this (187) remains uncertain. The censorship of episodes 181, 182, and 184 is especially disappointing considering their content. I mean, get a look at these titles!181. From Ayahuasca to Christ: Will Spencer on Escaping the Serpent's Deception: listen on Transistor or watch on YouTube182. From Estrangement to Advocacy: Lynn Chadwick on Parental Identity After Your Child Transitions: listen on Transistor or watch on YouTube184.

I'm truly incredibly proud of each of these episodes, and all for very different reasons. It would mean the world to me if you would make sure to give one a listen and share it with a friend.Back to the problem-solving saga: I've reached out to Transistor.fm, the platform that hosts my podcast, and they've graciously agreed to reach out to Spotify with a copy of my licensing agreement in the hopes of getting this issue permanently resolved. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that hopeful outcome. But I won't rescind my message in this episode until Spotify resolves this issue across the board. It's affecting many other podcasters, not just me. As Justin Brady explains in this video on X, the net result of this will not only silence many voices, but also discourage and silence musicians as well.If you normally listen on Spotify, please remain subscribed there, but also be sure you've subscribed to my podcast on any platform of your choice besides Spotify.

Do you ever notice yourself jumping from one project to the next - always busy but rarely feeling complete? In this episode, I share a story about one of my 1:1 clients that perfectly captures what I call the Scramble Cycle. It's that perfectionist pattern of getting something 80% done, hitting a snag or losing momentum and then rushing off to the next thing that suddenly feels more urgent. You'll hear how my client was caught in the Scramble Cycle and what became possible once I pointed out the pattern. I also talk about how this pattern shows up for perfectionist entrepreneurs in subtle ways: when we avoid the final steps, procrastinate on tech setup or abandon an almost-finished project because it feels safer to stay "in progress" than to feel exposed by completing it. If you've ever found yourself constantly scrambling, always behind and never quite finished, this episode will help you see exactly why that happens - and what to do differently so you can finally feel on top of things again.

In this episode I speak with Gary Burnett about two of his articles: "Escaping the Maze: Enhancing Teamwork and Collaboration in Higher Education through a Gamified Virtual Reality Experience" and "You're My Only Hope: An Exploration of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Lecturers as Holograms"

Psychiatrist Yekaterina Angelova discusses her article "Are you addicted to false urgency?" In this episode, Yekaterina explores how modern professionals, including physicians, get caught in a cycle of constant busyness and fabricated emergencies that drain focus, health, and joy. She explains the neuroscience behind the "mere urgency effect," where our brains prioritize quick tasks over meaningful ones, and how this addiction to urgency fuels burnout and anxiety. Drawing on both research and clinical experience, Yekaterina offers practical strategies to pause, regain perspective, and break the reward cycles that keep us trapped in stress. Viewers will learn how to reclaim calm, redefine productivity, and rediscover balance in a world obsessed with doing more. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Donald Trump fired him on national television, but he still went on to build Nevada's second-largest real estate brokerage with 585 agents. In this episode, John Gafford shows us how to escape the drift, turn pressure into fuel, and build a business that compounds. We go from his wild story appearing on the hit show, The Apprentice, to the systems he uses today to flip luxury homes, recruit at scale, and own every piece of the real estate transaction so profit doesn't leak. John explains why emotional intelligence beats raw intelligence in sales, how to evaluate risk so bold doesn't become reckless, and the leadership mindset that makes top talent want to run with you. We also unpack his book Escaping the Drift and the tough love framework that pulls you out of autopilot and back into intentional growth. If you feel like you're moving but not advancing, overwhelmed by hustle with no clear plan, or stuck in the same cycle year after year, this conversation hands you the roadmap forward. You can pick up a copy of John's book by clicking the link in the show notes. https://www.amazon.com/Escaping-Drift-Make-World-Happen/dp/B0F7GGQ8V4 Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Ep. 44 | How Square 9 Rewires Your Mind: Escaping Burnout, Remember Who You Are | Numerology 2.0 ExplainedFeeling burnt out, stuck, or disconnected from who you really are? In this episode of How to Get Ahead with Millennial Life Coaches, host Tanya (IG @tanya_lleigh) talks with Lindsay Joy, former corporate high-achiever turned spiritual guide and co-creator of Square 9 — a numerology-based system that helps you rewire your mind, release fear, and rediscover your true self.After 22 years in corporate America, Lindsay hit every “success” milestone — the job, house, family, and financial security — yet still felt unfulfilled. That breakdown led to her breakthrough: a deeper understanding of number frequencies and how they reveal both our innate strengths and missing traits.Through Square 9: Numerology 2.0, Lindsay helps people identify patterns, reprogram limiting beliefs, and operate from unconditional love instead of fear. If you've ever asked “Who am I, really?” — this conversation will change how you see yourself and your energy forever.

Cal Newport unpacks his framework for Slow Productivity, built on three core principles: doing fewer things, working at a natural pace, and obsessing over quality. He introduces "pseudo productivity"—the toxic heuristic that emerged in mid-20th century knowledge work when visible activity became a proxy for useful effort because traditional productivity metrics (Model Ts per hour, bushels per acre) no longer applied. Newport argues that pseudo productivity was tolerable until the digital office revolution—email, Slack, mobile computing—enabled visible activity to be demonstrated at incredibly high frequency, anywhere, anytime, creating a performance theater that drains actual productive capacity. The conversation explores how to build custom AI systems for daily planning (using GPT models trained on transcripts and book notes), the three levels of working with large language models (training from scratch, fine-tuning, and software intermediaries), and why specialized vertical AI will dominate the next wave of innovation. Newport makes the case for abandoning industrial-era proxies and reclaiming knowledge work as a craft that requires depth, patience, and quality over constant performative busyness. Hosted on Acast.

The church has spiritualized momentum. Momentum is no more spiritual than gravity. The "strike while the iron is hot" thinking has infiltrated the church and is dangerous because it's already prophesying the iron will cool. We don't go from hot iron to cool iron, we go from glory to glory.   The Homestead Mobile - October 24th, 2025

In one of the most disturbing cases in modern memory, Kimberly Sullivan stands accused of holding her stepson captive for twenty years inside a locked room in their Waterbury, Connecticut home. When firefighters arrived to battle a blaze in February 2025, they didn't just find smoke—they found a man who was 5'9” tall and weighed only 68 pounds, a skeletal figure who told police he had set the fire himself because it was the only way out. Now, in a stunning twist, a Connecticut judge has ruled that Sullivan — currently out on bond with a GPS ankle monitor — has the right to access the victim's new name and secret location so she can “confront her accuser.” Prosecutors fought the motion, warning that the victim is terrified of her and still recovering physically and mentally from years of starvation and isolation. But the judge ruled that her constitutional rights outweigh his safety. Let that sink in: a woman accused of locking a child away for two decades now knows where that same victim lives. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down how the system failed at every turn — from the school that stopped asking questions, to child services that walked away after one welfare check, to a legal system that calls this “fairness.” How could this happen? How does someone vanish for twenty years while the entire state looks the other way? And how can a courtroom still prioritize an alleged abuser's rights over a survivor's safety? This isn't justice. It's a procedural nightmare — and it's exactly why the system is broken. #KimberlySullivan #WaterburyCase #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #SystemicFailure #JusticeSystem #VictimsRights #AbuseSurvivor #CourtroomFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What do you do when someone looks you straight in the eye and lies again? When the truth is sitting right there, plain as day, yet they twist it, deny it, and make you question your sanity? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau gets real about what it means to live life on life's terms, especially when you're dealing with manipulative or dishonest people who twist the truth and leave you questioning your own reality. She dives into the painful experience of crazy making, where someone's lies and gaslighting can make you doubt what you know to be true. Susan shares personal stories of being caught in webs of deceit and how she's learned that sometimes, the best response isn't confrontation but silence. She reminds listeners that truth doesn't need defending, and that protecting your peace often means walking away rather than engaging with dysfunction. Through her own journey and years in Al-Anon, Susan reveals how trusting your intuition, setting boundaries, and refusing to spin the web alongside others can lead to freedom and self-respect.

Although the older brother remained in the father's house, he was just as spiritually disconnected from his father as his prodigal brother. Sin always separates people from God, whether they're in church or not.

     Slam The Gavel Podcast welcomes Nicole Amill. Nicole is the mother of three. Two adult children and one nine year-old. Nicole moved to Lorain, OH from the Bronx, NY on February 24th, 2015.     Coming to Ohio with almost $100K to invest in real estate to have passive income, Nicole wanted to teach her children how to be self sufficient. She also wanted them to have a close relationship with God.     Nicole gave love a chance with the wrong person and quickly found out what TRAUMA BONDS were, what abuse truly is and what healing growth is. She also learned to let go and let God.     Escaping her abuser only to be dragged back into court, Nicole was basically being forced to handle being kicked around and verbally abused by her abusers.     Nicole is ready to expose the truth in her case and SB174, because the TRUTH will set us FREE. Raising awareness, Nicole wants to be a resource for people to reach out to and be the change that will help others.https://www.ohiosenate.gov/committees/judiciary/meetings/cmte_s_judiciary_1_2025-11-05-0945_903/upload-testimonyTo Reach Nicole Amill:  FB: Amill Nikki Nicole and email: amillyn111@gmail.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

There have been some incredible developments these last two months in the fight against forced scamming. For the first time, the world's most powerful governments are beginning to treat this crisis not as a distant crime, but as a global human rights emergency — one that can be fought with the same tools once used against war criminals and oligarchs. At the centre of that strategy is a man named Bill Browder.From Washington to Phnom Penh, this episode follows how the same weapon Browder helped create is being turned on the crime bosses and corrupt officials profiting from human trafficking and forced scamming in Cambodia.

Today I am joined by my dear friend Michelle Ferriss, a licensed marriage family therapist. She's been on the podcast two other times because she's awesome! Her area of expertise is on dealing with codependency, how to escape narcissistic relationships and overcoming anger issues. In this episode, we're going to talk about toxic friendships, how to know if you're in one, ways to improve them, and steps to take to escape them. This is such an important topic because as we grow, evolve and change, so do the relationships we have. And with people feeling more disconnected and lonelier than ever, we need to know how to make new friends too. Before we jump in, last week I started a new segment called "I have a question for you!" and the question was "how do you feel about the word Alcoholic?" On Instagram, one person wrote: "It took a while to be able to openly call myself an alcoholic. I attached very negative and generalized connotations to it until I identified it. Now, I embrace it because it was crucial to me getting sober." Another wrote: I think it keeps people that are sober curious from stepping fully into their sobriety because they think they have to call themselves an Alcoholic . In our society it has a negative connotation. They do not picture the soccer mom at the park with wine in her yeti cup who is still suffering. So, whatever you need to call it . The most important thing is that you don't have to label it at all. You can make a decision based on the results you're getting from drinking alcohol." Thank you all who wrote in! I think the big take away here is that it's all perspective based on the information you have or don't have. In the end, take what you like, and leave the rest. This week's question it tied to the topic of this episode, which is: "Can you still be friends with your old drinking or using friends after you're sober?" Let me know what you think on instagram @arlinaallen So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think! Guest Contact Info:

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck welcome Tania the Herbalist, a former top insurance salesperson turned holistic life advisor. Tania shares her journey from corporate burnout to helping people become the "CEO of their life" by finding purpose and balance across health, career, and relationships. The conversation delves into the scarcity mindset around time and energy, the societal programming that hinders women's confidence in the workplace, the detrimental effects of the "cutoff culture," and the importance of holistic independence from broken systems. Key Highlights: Becoming the CEO of Your Life Tania explains her core philosophy: you can have it all—a fulfilling career, vibrant health, strong relationships, and time for family—without compromise. She discusses tackling the common scarcity mindset around time and energy through practical audits, revealing that prioritizing even small daily actions can lead to significant life improvements. The Confidence Gap & External Validation Drawing on her insurance background, Tania addresses why women may feel held back or lack confidence in corporate settings. She argues it stems from deep societal programming emphasizing external validation over internal self-worth, exacerbated by social media, which statistically makes women less likely to speak up or pursue leadership roles. Escaping the Matrix: Holistic Independence Tania shares her perspective on achieving true independence by breaking free from reliance on potentially flawed systems (corporate, medical, governmental). This involves pursuing financial freedom, regaining bodily autonomy through holistic health practices (linking to her herbalist roots), and cultivating emotional resilience. Critiquing the "Cutoff Culture" & Distractions The conversation explores the modern phenomenon of estrangement (the "cutoff culture") and pervasive societal distractions. Tania traces its roots to person-centered therapy and pop psychology, arguing it hinders conflict resolution skills and distracts people from their purpose and building meaningful connections.
