Podcasts about excuses

Have you ever tried to hold a narcissist accountable, only to end up being the one apologizing? That isn't an accident. Narcissists have a specific set of excuses they use to deflect, distract, and devalue your concerns. Today, we are breaking down the Top 5 excuses I used—and that most narcissists use—to stay in control of the narrative.Connect with Lee:My Courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://courses.mentalhealness.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All My Link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.page/mentalhealness ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!

The conversation with formulator Matt Legge pulls back the curtain on the supplement industry, framing it as a metaphysical struggle between genuine intent and the corporate Machine. Matt's journey is a hero's exile from structures like Metagenics, which prioritize efficiency over the soul of the product. This machine churns out soulless, AI-generated formulas that chase "white space," utterly neglecting the deep clinical insight of Root Cause Analysis—a meditation of the pulse. The founder's sacrifice creates the Pearl of Reciprocity, the organizational soul. The primary struggle is protecting this soul from "middle management" by constantly acting as the Chief Reminding Officer (CRO). The ultimate takeaway is a profound choice: to ethically play the regulatory puzzle with a full-spectrum approach and prioritize being the most respected—the "early bird gets the worm"—over merely being the biggest.   CORE INSIGHTS: [1:00-1:50] The Formulator's "Exile" and the Call to Invent: Deemed "unemployable" by a major practitioner brand due to his excess of innovative ideas, Matt Legge was effectively pushed to start his own supplement brand. [2:30-3:30] Critique of Claim-Driven Formulation: The core problem in the supplement industry is formulating for claims using single, trademarked extracts, disregarding the natural synergy of multi-ingredient or whole-herb formulations. [5:30-6:30] The Threat of AI-Generated Formulas: New brands often use AI or agencies to formulate identical, "soulless" products (e.g., Ashwagandha, B6, Magnesium Glycinate) based on market "white space," which sidesteps genuine root cause analysis. [9:30-10:30] Root Cause as Clinical "Meditation": Identifying the true root cause is subjective, requiring deep clinical insight—like a "meditation" of the pulse—that goes beyond generic university diagnoses. [11:30-13:00] The Limitations of RCTs in Natural Medicine: The parachute analogy to argue that natural medicine, with thousands of years of traditional use, does not always require modern RCTs that often exclude the sick people the medicine is meant to help. [14:00-15:30] The "Pearl of Reciprocity" and Organizational Soul: Mason views a founder's genuine intent and sacrifice as creating the "Pearl of Reciprocity"—a metaphysical, organizational soul that guides the company toward its purpose of "health and harmony." [29:00-30:00] The Chief Reminding Officer (CRO): To combat high staff turnover ("The Wiggles Theory"), the founder must act as the "Chief Reminding Officer" (CRO), perpetually repeating the brand's foundational ethos and "campfire stories" to maintain its core cultural spirit. [35:30-36:30] Innovation Stifled by Middle Management: Middle management, lacking the company's ethos, stifled innovation by rejecting Matt's inventions because a market segment for the original ideas did not yet exist. [54:30-56:00] The Ethical Full-Spectrum Formulation Approach: Modern ethical formulation uses a nuanced approach: combining standardized extracts (for regulatory claims) with full-spectrum whole herbs to ensure nature's full synergy.

The relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn and prominent Silicon Valley investor, developed in the years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor—an association that has drawn significant criticism. Hoffman moved in many of the same elite philanthropic and academic circles that Epstein cultivated, particularly through connections to scientific research and artificial intelligence initiatives. Epstein positioned himself as a financier and broker of relationships between wealthy donors and institutions, and Hoffman was among the influential figures who interacted with him in those environments. Reporting later revealed that Hoffman had visited Epstein's private island in the Caribbean and attended gatherings involving Epstein, which immediately raised questions given that these interactions occurred well after Epstein's criminal history was widely known. Although Hoffman has said the visit was brief and that he regrets the association, the optics of a major technology figure socializing with Epstein years after the conviction have remained deeply troubling.Critics argue that Hoffman's relationship with Epstein reflects a broader pattern in which powerful elites continued to treat Epstein as a useful connector despite his documented history of abusing minors. Hoffman has claimed that his interactions with Epstein were limited and primarily related to introductions within philanthropic and academic circles, but that explanation has done little to quell scrutiny. The controversy intensified when it emerged that Hoffman had been part of discussions and events tied to Epstein's network of donors and researchers, reinforcing the perception that Epstein was able to rehabilitate his reputation among wealthy and influential figures. For many observers, the episode highlights a persistent moral blind spot among members of the financial and technology elite: the willingness to overlook Epstein's criminal past in exchange for access to money, influence, or connections. In that context, Hoffman's association with Epstein has been viewed not merely as a lapse in judgment but as another example of how Epstein maintained social legitimacy among powerful people who should have known better.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

When God called to Moses from the burning bush, He also commissioned him for the task He had in mind – of Moses going to Pharaoh with the news! As Exodus 4:1-17 tells us, Moses was quite unwilling and hesitant and…well, frankly…scared! So instead of implicit obedience from Moses, there was continued excuses…. but the […]

The hardest part of parenting isn’t managing our kids. It’s facing ourselves. This week, a heated family moment revealed something uncomfortable — our children often mirror the very behaviours we struggle with. Defensiveness. Blame. Excuses. Denial. And when we see it in them… it’s confronting. In this honest Friday “I’ll Do Better Tomorrow” episode, we unpack emotional reactivity, accountability, and the power of repairing quickly. Plus, a Brisbane GP’s email sparks an important conversation about ADHD diagnoses, medication culture, and why more labels aren’t fixing our kids. This one goes deep — into marriage, parenting, and the courage to own our part. KEY POINTS: Why kids’ behaviour can be a mirror to our own unresolved habits The difference between ownership and blame How defensiveness blocks connection Why quick repair strengthens relationships A GP’s concerns about rising ADHD diagnoses and medication culture The parenting skill we’re rapidly losing: backing ourselves QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “If we do dumb things, can we forgive each other and move on and be better as a result of it? That’s literally all that matters.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: Searching for Normal by Sami Timimi Happy Families Podcast happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: When conflict flares, ask: What part of this is mine? Model ownership out loud — let your kids hear you apologise. Separate accountability from self-blame. Own your part, not theirs. Repair quickly. Don’t let pride extend disconnection. Back yourself. Not every struggle needs a label or prescription. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Feeling flat, unmotivated, or stuck in your head?  We walk through a simple, science-backed way to get moving again:  3 precise questions that flip inertia into momentum, replace vague drama with evidence, and turn discipline into something you can do on cue. Starting with Newton's first law, we connect the physics of motion to the psychology of habits, showing why starting feels hard and why it gets easier once you cross the first minute. No pep talks, no clichés—just clear prompts that work on Mondays, during setbacks, and when doubt is loud.  Along the way, we share a client story, practical micro-steps, and ways to keep these prompts visible so they interrupt hesitation in real time. You'll learn how the brain conserves energy with easy narratives, how to counter with better questions, and how two focused minutes can flip your state and protect your identity as a person of action. If you're ready to spend less time arguing with yourself and more time taking steps that compound, this toolkit is for you.  If this episode helped you move, share it with a friend who needs a gentle push forward, subscribe for more mental models and tools, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Why do people say they want expansion… and then quietly resist it when it becomes real? If you're a coach or work with people in any capacity, you've seen it. Clients are excited. They're inspired. They sign up. They talk about transformation. And then something shifts. Momentum slows. Excuses appear. Energy collapses. We often call this “self-sabotage” or “resistance.” But what's actually happening is far more precise. It's ego defence. In this episode, I unpack what really occurs when identity expansion becomes real... and why the ego intervenes just as growth crosses a threshold. Because here's the truth: Expansion always threatens identity. It asks something to die. It asks something to end. It asks you to redefine who you are. And the ego (whose job is to maintain your sense of self), will defend against that destabilisation. What's often mistaken as 'shadow work' is actually ego protection... and unless we understand the structure of the psyche, it's difficult to support our clients (and ourselves) in a meaningful way. Inside this episode, I also unpack five ego defence archetypes that commonly activate when expansion becomes real: – The Intellectual Neutraliser – The Spiritualised Bypasser – The Overwhelm Collapse – The Perfectionist Retreat – The Moral High Ground Collapse Each reveals how the psyche protects identity when self-redefinition is required. Momentum is easy. Expansion is inspiring. Until it asks you to become someone new. This episode is for coaches, aspiring practitioners, and anyone standing at the edge of their next level. Awareness changes everything. ..... BECOME A CERTIFIED PSYCHODYNAMIC LIFE COACH: If this conversation resonates and you're ready to understand expansion (and ego defence) at a deeper level, the next cohort of the Psychodynamic Coach Academy (PCA) begins on March 30. The PCA is a 16-week, internationally accredited training in depth-informed coaching, designed to help you work skillfully with identity, shadow, and growth edges - first in yourself, then with clients. There are just two spots remaining in this cohort. Enrollment begins with a consultation call, and if you feel called to step into this work seriously, now would be the time.

Are your "responsible" excuses actually sabotaging your future?In this episode, we break down the anatomy of "important-sounding" excuses—the ones that feel logical but are secretly killing your dreams. Whether you are citing a lack of money, the demands of parenting, or a packed schedule, these justifications often mask a deeper refusal to give yourself permission to be creative.In this episode, we discuss:Hiding Behind Responsibility: Why the things we claim to do "for our family" might be the very things holding us back from leading by example.The Perception of Value: A spiritual perspective on why "not having the money" is often a choice about what we prioritize.The Backpack Theory: Lessons learned from nomadic life on how we fill whatever container of time or space we are given—and how to shrink that container to get results.Jim Carrey's Powerful Lesson: Why you can fail at what you don't want to do, so you might as well take a chance on what you love.Setting the Stakes: A practical strategy to "put skin in the game" so that backing out is no longer an option.Stop playing it safe and start moving toward your heart-led purpose. It's time to stop giving your children a map to a place you refuse to go yourself.Ready to cross your own finish line?

Send a textWhat if the “smart” reasons you give yourself are the very thing keeping you stuck? We peel back the layers on excuses vs explanations and show how fear often hides behind logic that sounds responsible: I need more clients before I invest, I need more confidence before I sell, I don't know what to say. These lines feel true because our brains are built to keep us safe, not bold. Once you see the pattern, you can choose movement over waiting.We share how we coach coaches through this trap without shaming, pushing, or playing guru. Empathy matters, but empathy without leadership enables the stall. You'll hear the exact shifts we make: reflect the story, name the cost of delay, and ask braver questions that turn insight into motion. We discuss why confidence never arrives on the front end, how action creates clarity, and how to design tiny experiments that reduce risk while building real momentum. From first sales conversations to low-stakes pilots, we map out steps that help you learn faster than your fear.Expect practical prompts you can use today, for yourself and your clients. Try the pause: when you hear “I just need…,” ask, Is this helping me move or helping me wait? If it's the latter, shrink the next step until it's doable now, act, and debrief. This is how you build earned confidence, deepen client results, and lead with integrity. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a coach who needs a nudge, and leave a review—tell us the explanation you're ready to retire and the action you'll take next.Interested in becoming a High Impact Coach?

Decide which one you are.” What a powerful reminder for all of us and the person looking back at us in the mirror!  I know I have plenty of excuses … way too often and I'm trying to work on them for sure!

How often do we allow our limitations to become our excuses?In this episode, we're diving into the story of Zacchaeus and how one man refused to let his height, his reputation, or the crowd keep him from seeing Jesus. What if the only thing standing between you and breakthrough isn't your limitation… but your excuse?We also unpack the parable of the ten bridesmaids and the great banquet — powerful reminders that now is the time to seek God. Not Monday. Not when life slows down. Not when we “feel ready.” Today.Jesus is inviting you. The question is, will you push past what's holding you back and say yes?If you've been feeling the tug to go deeper in your faith, this episode is for you.

Create Without Consequence with The PhroneticThe Phronetic is a Colombian-born, Brooklyn-raised producer, composer, and creative director who emerged from the live beat-making scene around 2017. Since then he's built a career spanning music, videography, and branded content — and in 2023 launched a creative agency merging both.In this episode we get into making music that invites rather than overwhelms, developing taste through repetition, the real cost of grind culture, and what success actually looks like when you stop measuring it by numbers.Three things to take away: Invitation beats force.

What if the biggest thing sabotaging your time isn't your time management skills but the story you keep telling yourself about who you are? In this episode, I unpack the surprising excuses that are secretly stealing your time. From perfectionism and people pleasing to being "Type A," a hard worker, or a multitasker, I explore how the patterns you repeat can quietly shape your schedule. I share where these tendencies come from, why they once worked, and how they may be keeping you stuck today. If your calendar feels heavier than it should or you keep repeating the same time habits no matter how many planners or productivity tools you try, this conversation will help you rethink what's really driving your time.

In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down the REAL difference between excuses and choices and why this matters so much in food addiction recovery. Most people think they have a “motivation problem,” but in reality, they have an honesty problem. Excuses sound reasonable, but they keep you stuck in the same cycles. When you start calling your choices what they are, choices, you take your power back.Mary also teaches a simple but powerful habit strategy called “Good, Better, Best.” This framework helps you stop thinking in perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking. You'll learn how to get more consistent with the habits that actually drive results in food sobriety: morning sunlight, walking, lifting weights, prioritizing sleep, and eating real food.If you want progress with food freedom, emotional eating, binge eating, weight loss, or breaking sugar addiction then THIS episode shows you how. Because lasting change comes from daily choices and consistent habits, not extreme diets or temporary motivation.Grab your copy of my FREE 9 page Beginner's Guide to Food Sobriety https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietyguideFood Sobriety Mini Course -https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietymcFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4915319108493196/?ref=share_group_linkDo you need private coaching and intensive daily contact with a coach?

The Knicks' frustrating loss to the Detroit Pistons and the alarming post-game comments from Karl-Anthony Towns. Did KAT sound like he was making excuses about the All-Star break, or does the real blame fall on head coach Mike Brown for refusing to adjust his offensive system against a shorthanded Detroit team? The crew debates the age-old sports question: do regular-season sweeps actually matter come playoff time? From referencing the Mets/Dodgers of '88 to dropping a shocking stat about the Pistons winning all 12 quarters against the Knicks this year, we explore whether it's time to hit the panic button or just trust the process until May.
