Podcasts about exhausted

Do you feel guilty when you rest? Do you find yourself saying things like, “I’ll relax after I finish this project.” Or, “I’ll take a day off once work slows down.” Or what about, “I’ll rest when I finally get caught up.” Hint: You will almost never be caught up. If so, you’re not alone. Many high-achievers have unknowingly adopted the belief that rest is something they have to earn. The problem? That mindset often keeps us stuck in a cycle of chronic stress, mental exhaustion, and nervous system dysregulation. In this episode of Making Shift Happen, we’re unpacking one of the biggest productivity myths out there: that your worth is tied to your output. The truth is that recovery isn’t a reward for hard work – it’s a requirement for sustainable performance. Whether you’re trying to improve your health, become more consistent with exercise, perform better at work, or simply feel like yourself again, learning how to rest without guilt may be one of the most important skills you develop.

Why do so many teams work harder than ever but still struggle to make meaningful progress?In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli speaks with organizational psychologist and bestselling author Liane Davey, author of Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work, about why leaders need to rethink how they approach priorities, productivity, and performance.Liane explains why the biggest challenge facing many organizations is not simply the amount of work people have to do. It is the invisible thought load created by competing demands, constant interruptions, emotional strain, and unclear priorities. Drawing on her work with leadership teams, she shares why many organizations are operating at full throttle but losing altitude because they keep adding effort instead of reducing drag.In the conversation, Liane discusses why leaders often confuse activity and output with meaningful progress. She explores how organizations unintentionally reward busyness, why constant responsiveness can pull people away from their highest-value work, and how leaders can help teams focus on outcomes rather than simply doing more.Liane also explores the impact of AI on leadership and the future of work. While AI can reduce some workload, she explains why it can also increase thought load by creating more information, more decisions, and more complexity. Her insights challenge leaders to think differently about human capacity, emotional energy, and creating the conditions where people can do their best work.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why teams can be working harder than ever and still fail to achieve the outcomes that matter most.Hear why Liane Davey believes leaders need to move beyond measuring activity and productivity to focus on true effectiveness.Discover how rewarding constant responsiveness can unintentionally reinforce distraction and prevent people from doing their most important work.You'll learn the difference between workload and thought load and why the hidden mental burden on teams impacts performance, creativity, and collaboration.Hear why productivity can become a trap when organizations create more outputs without questioning whether those outputs create value.Discover why emotions are not separate from performance and how leaders can help teams process emotions before they create unnecessary friction.You'll learn why a lack of conflict can be a warning sign and how healthy tension helps teams make better decisions.Hear how leaders can uncover the unseen work that drains people's capacity and address the sources of overload.Discover how AI can reduce workload while increasing thought load, requiring leaders to rethink how people and technology work together.Learn why managing focus, energy, and human capacity will become even more important as organizations face greater complexity and faster change.Connect with Liane DaveyLiane Davey WebsiteThoughtload WebsiteLiane Davey LinkedInConnect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Today's Bible Verse:: "So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him." — John 5:16 Reflection:John 5:16 shows the growing opposition Jesus faced as He faithfully carried out the Father’s work. After healing a man on the Sabbath, Jesus was criticized by religious leaders who focused more on rules than on the compassion and restoration God intended. “Want to listen without ads?

Hey friend,  Are you and your kids both sleeping worse in summer, even when nothing big has changed? Have you tried all the sleep advice and still wake up exhausted — or still spend an hour trying to get your ND kid to wind down? Does your neurodivergent kid's bedtime routine feel like it takes everything you have left at the end of the day? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. Chronic Illness Moms is a podcast for moms with chronic illness or chronic symptoms who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits that actually work inside a full, demanding life. In this episode, I'm sharing the 1% sleep fix — one tiny adjustment for you and one for your ND kid — that is actually realistic in summer when a full overhaul isn't possible. We talk about what summer does to your sleep patterns, why your kid's nervous system affects yours at bedtime through co-regulation, and why one small consistent change beats a perfect routine every time.   Part 3: Resources and Links Mentioned Join the free Chronic Health Moms Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/chronichealthmoms 1:1 chronic health coaching: https://ashleybraden.com/coaching Hearthwell Naturals magnesium cream (mentioned for bedtime wind-down): https://payhip.com/hearthwellnaturals   Related Episodes: 225.

The television cameras found enough dignitaries, donors, former staffers, and professional applauders to fill the frame. But for a man once marketed as a political messiah, the public response resembled the grand opening of a new Department of Motor Vehicles.No protests. No celebrations. No national conversation.Just a collective shrug from a country that looked at the event and decided to reorganize its garage instead.The media desperately tried to present the ceremony as a historic moment. Yet something felt off from the beginning. It was as if everyone involved understood they were participating in a reunion tour for a band whose biggest hits came twenty years ago.And then Joe Biden arrived.Watching Biden at these events has become a uniquely American experience. It's like watching a tourist wander into the wrong wedding reception and decide to stay because the food looks good.At one point, Biden appeared to be searching for his granddaughter on stage. This is no longer surprising. Biden's public appearances increasingly resemble scavenger hunts conducted without clues.Somewhere in the middle of this search party, Barack Obama managed to perform his favorite political magic trick.He made Biden disappear.Again.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

06.21.26 Encouraging the Exhausted Psalm 63 TODAY'S QUESTION— “Exhausted!?! Now what???” Refreshed Souls Run To God  (v.1) Refreshed Souls Rejoice in His Glory (v. 2-5) Refreshed Souls Rest in the Shadow of His Wings (v. 6-11)

If you can hear the whales through your glowing foot roots, then stand up. Open your mouth. Let their aria rip through you. Let it pound up and out so the others can find you. Burrrp! Now's not the time for politeness, my love. We're staring down mass extinction. We don't have time to be cool. Care! It's fine! There's a rumbling in your belly. Can you feel it? An inner ocean, still teeming with luminescent jellyfish, dulled by a thin coat of plastic, immortal but dying anyway. For so many their foot roots have withered away somewhere in between an Uber shift and a Door Dash, and besides, their heart, rick-roll racketed by rent scam subscriptions, beats too loud and fast to hear any stupid whales. Exhausted bodies hosting ghosts running on foodless food and godless gods, too sick and tired to look up to see, to know what's happening in our name, to understand that the cold blue eyes of the empire of whiteness stamped on our every dollar bill that we are forced to pray for fervently each night, “Please God please God Please may I pay my bills God Please may I feed my children God Please may we keep this roof God Please may you give me more money God Please oh money God Please oh please I don't want to die Please give me your demon dollars Made from the bones of African child slaves Pressed from the meat of the babies of Gaza Printed with the oil made from the blood sacrifices of Chevron Paper gods every one I know not where they come from Or how they are made And I might die of grief if I did Just give me some more of your green demon prayer cards So that I might live Another day, Amen.” That is not you. You pray of course (we all must), but you, you hear the whales. And there are others. You can tell us by the flowers of light sprouting from our eye stalks and noggin crowns, from our bellowing war cries roaring through us giving voice to our blue mama, her rainforest hair slick with oil but beautiful still.

If you've been running on empty for months — chronic fatigue, autoimmune flares, a body that won't cooperate no matter how much you sleep — and part of you has quietly wondered whether God is doing this to you or just letting it happen, this episode is for you. We're walking through five biblical reasons God allows suffering, and what to actually do while you're still in the middle of it. Fair warning: these reasons aren't wrapped in a bow. A few of them are genuinely hard to sit with. But stay to the end, because there's real encouragement waiting there. This one is for the Christian woman who is done spinning her wheels and ready to take real steps toward healing — body and faith, together. As a Registered Nurse and holistic health coach, I bring both a clinical lens and a faith-centered one to this conversation, because holistic health was never meant to separate the two. Why God Allows Suffering: 5 Biblical Reasons 1. So God's Works Can Be Displayed — John 9 When Jesus's disciples ask who sinned to cause a man's blindness, him or his parents, Jesus answers plainly: neither. "It was not that this man sinned or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him." — John 9:3 Illness isn't always a verdict on someone's character. Sometimes it's simply the setup for what God plans to do next. If you've walked through healing, your story matters — telling it points other people back to Him. 2. Because God Works in Ways We Don't Fully Understand — Job The Book of Job is genuinely hard, and it's okay to say so. Job loses his family and his health, and when God finally speaks, He doesn't explain Himself. "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding." — Job 38:4 There's no tidy resolution here. Just a reminder that we serve a God whose understanding is bigger than ours — which means some suffering won't make sense from where we're standing, and that's allowed to be true without shaking our trust in Him. 3. Temporary Suffering Can Be Training Now, and Protection Later — Joseph, Genesis 50 Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers, falsely accused, and imprisoned — roughly seventeen years between the dream God gave him and the day it came true. When his brothers later feared retaliation, Joseph told them: "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive." — Genesis 50:20 God used that season to train Joseph for the leadership he'd eventually need, and that same training is what positioned him to protect his entire family years later when famine hit. The suffering came first. The protection came after, once the training had done its work. If you're walking through chronic illness or a season of low energy right now, it's worth asking what this might be preparing you for, and who it might one day let you protect. 4. So God's Power Can Be Made Perfect in Weakness — 2 Corinthians 12 Paul asked God three times to remove his "thorn in the flesh." God didn't. "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9 Paul's conclusion was that his weakness became the very thing that made him strong. Self-sufficiency tends to pull us toward leaning on our own strength instead of God's. Sometimes the thorn stays so the credit goes to God's power, not ours. 5. So We Will Lack Nothing — James 1 "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness... that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." — James 1:2-4 Nobody signs up for trials willingly. But if the process produces something in us we'd otherwise be missing, that reframes the waiting — even when it doesn't make it easy. What to Do While You're Waiting on God Faith Matters — But It's Not a Verdict on Your Healing (Luke 8) A woman who had been bleeding for twelve years touches the edge of Jesus's garment and is instantly healed. He tells her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well." Faith plays a real part in healing. But just because you haven't been healed yet doesn't mean you don't have enough faith. The man born blind in John 9 wasn't blind because of a lack of faith. Faith is a factor, but it's not the only one. There may be other things at work that have nothing to do with how much faith you have, so there's no need to carry guilt over it or pick yourself apart looking for what's missing. Obedience Is Part of the Process (2 Kings 5) Naaman was told to dip in the Jordan River seven times to be healed of leprosy — and he almost refused because it felt too simple. When he finally obeyed, he was healed. Sometimes God is asking for action alongside our faith — working with a doctor, researching natural remedies, changing a habit, simply doing the next obedient thing in front of you. Faith and action aren't in competition. And underneath it all is a quiet principle worth remembering: we reap what we sow. Good choices tend to bear good fruit, even when the harvest is slow to show up. Remembering God's Goodness in the Waiting There's a lot in Scripture that's genuinely hard to understand — Job's story, Ezekiel being told not to publicly mourn his wife, and plenty more. But understanding everything was never the requirement for trusting God's goodness. "He will never leave you nor forsake you." — Hebrews 13:5 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose." — Romans 8:28 He's been proving that for thousands of years. He's still doing it now, even in the waiting. Key Takeaways Suffering is not automatically a punishment for sin or a sign of insufficient faith. Some of God's ways genuinely won't make sense from where we're standing — and that's allowed. Hard seasons can be preparation for something ahead that isn't visible yet. Faith and practical obedience — medical care, lifestyle changes, natural remedies — work together, not against each other. You're responsible for your next faithful step, not for forcing an outcome or understanding the whole plan. This episode is educational and faith-based reflection, not medical advice or a diagnosis.  Ready for Your Next Step?

Hey friend,  Are you eating what feels like a decent diet but still dealing with joint pain, rashes, brain fog, or anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere? Have you ever suspected a food might be connected to your symptoms but talked yourself out of actually cutting it out? Does figuring out what to eat in summer feel like one more decision your brain just doesn't have room for? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. Chronic Illness Moms is a podcast for moms with chronic illness or chronic symptoms who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits that actually work inside a full, demanding life. In this episode, I'm sharing my own experience cutting gluten — the rash, the joint pain, the anxiety that cleared when I finally committed to removing it — and walking through what inflammatory foods actually do to a body managing chronic illness. Plus the one simple prep move (a protein ready to go and veggies cut up) that takes decision-making out of eating so you can actually follow through.   Resources and Links Mentioned Join the free Chronic Health Moms Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/chronichealthmoms 1:1 chronic health coaching: https://ashleybraden.com/coaching   Related Episodes: 229.

Success in the Christian life is not measured by relentless output, but by deep enjoyment and awe of God. The high-performer's journey is to move from striving to abiding, from anxious self-optimization to restful delight. This week, Stephanie challenges us to reconsider our definition of success: Will we dare to let our delight in God, and His delight in us, become our most treasured spiritual possession?Many Christians find themselves exhausted, seeking spirituality through constant effort rather than true joy. In our current series, Awaken Delight, we explore different ways that prevent us from living the reality of Psalm 37:4, Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.This week, we explore the dangers of "high-performance Christianity" and discover the invitation to redefine success by delighting in God rather than striving to impress Him.Our FREE gift to you today! An exclusive 30-day FREE recovery plan to rekindle your delight in God when you are feeling weary and exhausted in your faith: go to https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelightthepodcast and find the form for Episode 448. Give us your email, and you will receive the full plan in your inbox immediately!Let's be completely honest. Are you…Exhausted by trying to “feel” spiritual?Performing faith without real joy?Feeling unworthy despite consistent effort?Wondering if Psalm 37:4 really works?What if the problem isn't your faith, but the way you've been pursuing God? Delight isn't about effort; it's about learning how to receive God as your deepest joy.This isn't extra joy on Sundays. It's the foundation for deep delight in God which willstrengthen your prayer lifeprovide you with resilient peace,reframe your pain and suffering,transform your obedience into soul-satisfying joy.Many Christians become experts in prayer, service, and discipline but forget the joy of simple communion with God. This mindset measures spiritual health in terms of effort and accomplishment: “Did I pray enough? Did I do enough?”The Dangers:Spiritual Output over Relationship: Faith becomes a checklist of activities rather than a relationship rooted in love and delight.Performance Equals Worth: Feelings of worth rise and fall based on spiritual “productivity.” Rest becomes guilt-ridden and Sabbath feels inefficient.Comparisons and Insecurity: The high-performer compares their visible fruit to others', believing that more impact equals more favor from God.This mindset leads to spiritual dryness. High performers feel relationally undernourished: “Effective for God, but not really deeply at rest in God”. Growth is sought in results, but true spiritual maturity often appears slow, cyclical, and hidden. When setbacks arise, self-worth plummets, and failures feel catastrophic.At its core, this approach makes delight in God seem like a luxury reserved for the less “serious." But Scripture repeatedly calls delight foundational, not optional. "Delight in the Lord" is central — it deepens trust, strengthens endurance, and transforms work into worship.How do we shift from performance to delight? We must reorder our ambitions with God at the center. As Stephanie explains, “Your problem isn't that you're too serious, it's that you're too serious through the lens of a secular operating system”. The calling isn't to do less, but to let delight in God be the fuel, not the reward, of our efforts.Practical Steps:Identity Rooted in God's Delight: Our worth is anchored in God's unshakeable love, not our achievements.Work Flows from Delight: We work, rest, and strive not to prove ourselves, but out of the security that comes from being loved by God.Resilient Obedience: Obedience is rooted in delight, not desperation; failure or success does not shake our identity.Delighting in God is not just an emotion—it is a chosen, steady confidence that allows us to pursue excellence without fear. When rooted in God's love, ambition becomes resilient, setbacks less threatening, and rest becomes restorative. As Stephanie encourages, “Taste and see that the Lord is good”. This call is an invitation into a secure, unshakeable identity and delight —the true measure of success."Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible here on earth.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle invites you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight — not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is.Delight in God isn't a mood to manufacture; it's a relationship to receive.Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you'll learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable.Delighting in God isn't sentimental optimism. It's deeply rooted in Christ, Jesus.It's the quiet revolution that reshapes how we endure pain, love others, and understand our own heart.Awaken Delight is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued and are ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JKind words from Jennifer Rothschild, Bible teacher, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, Founder, Fresh Grounded Faith:“Stephanie helps us awaken to and experience true delight.

The last two weeks were a lot, demanding but the good kind of hard, the kind you actually work toward for years. If you've ever looked at your life and thought, I am doing everything right and I am still completely wrecked, why is this so hard? Push play now. Brandon and I pulled back the curtain on what it actually looks like to run a business, show up for your kids, navigate your own health, and try to take care of yourself all at the same time, without pretending any of it was graceful. There's something we talk about in this episode that I don't think gets enough airtime: the moment you realize a goal you've been holding onto has to go on the shelf for a bit, not because you failed, but because something bigger needed your WHOLE attention. And what happens in your nervous system when you finally let yourself do that. Brandon gets real about something he's been quietly navigating for a long time, and why taking it seriously right now is one of the hardest things he's done, harder, he says, than getting sober.  We talk about what it costs to add one new thing to a life that's already full, why "just do the healthy thing" is some of the most tone-deaf advice on the planet, and what it actually looks like to make decisions from your values instead of your anxiety when your CLC score is through the roof. This one's raw and if you're a high-achieving entrepreneur trying to figure out how to not lose your shit, or yourself while your life is actively demanding everything you've got, we get it.

Burned out. Ready to quit. One bad season away from selling everything. That's exactly where Jeremy Laurence found himself. In this powerful Level Up + Live conversation, the owner of Air Woodlands reveals the truth behind the success nobody saw.

Episode 111: Hey loves! Welcome back to the podcast. Today, Quinn and I are wrapping up our two-part series on historian Gerda Lerner, and we are diving deep into her incredible book, The Creation of Feminist Consciousness. We're unpacking exactly how women have spent the last 1,500 years fighting to break free from patriarchal programming and own their minds.

Recent months had been wearing me down as I solo-parented, homeschooled our four kids, and kept up with the everyday life and needs of our home and family. Exhausted and bone weary, I headed out for vacation with my two oldest kids and my mom. I wanted a great vacation, filled with tasty BBQ and ice cream, sunshine, and a day at the beach full of rest and relaxation. Living in Wisconsin, we cherish our summers. We live for warm days where we can be outside, enjoying our beautiful state. The shores of Lake Michigan are full of prairie grass and dairy cows, calming waves, and clean beaches to be enjoyed. Upon arrival, we went directly to the bakery. My mom and I had been daydreaming over flaky, fruit-filled pastries. To our horror, as we walked into the shop, we were greeted with an empty pastry case. They were sold out. Dejected, I grabbed the last loaf of sourdough bread, paid, and left. Would this be how my whole vacation would go? We'd driven four hours, and all I wanted was a great getaway. The next day, we sat and contentedly munched sourdough fruit danishes. (This time we got up early to be sure they didn't sell out.) Checking the weather, we found rain headed our way. "My beach day," I cried inwardly. Consulting the radar, we assessed and made a plan. We could drive an hour in the rain, then get there, swim, and head back in the rain. I prayed we'd get our beach time even with the rain. I was desperate. Arriving at the small town on Lake Michigan, we looked at the sky. "Oh no! We have maybe 30 minutes," my mom reported. We were supposed to have a longer break in the rain, but the sky was darkening before us. We walked out to the old lighthouse, pausing to admire the view. The driftwood peppering the shorelines, the yellow sand, and deep blue waves rolling to their own beat. Yes, my heart needed the wide open spaces that came from being by the vast lake. Finding the swimming beach, we marched to the water. To our horror, we found gray sludge slopping up out of the waves. What!? Rain clouds came closer as we raced to the next beach. Drops started falling as we once again marched toward the water. My son barely reached the sludgy lake before the rain started falling harder and faster. Instead of taking a dip in the lake, he and my 64-year-old mother started running for the car. Defeated, I trailed after. Worst vacation ever. I texted my mother-in-law– "I need a vacation do-over." All I wanted was a great vacation, rest for my weary soul, and relaxation. What I'd gotten wasn't that at all. I drove us back to the house and went for a walk after the rain stopped, talking with God. The dark blue stormy sky is a vibrant backdrop to the cornfield and wildflowers in the ditches. As I walked and talked, I expressed my sadness about my horrible vacation. I pondered why, even though I saw the vast lake and had time relaxing, I still felt weary to my bones. I didn't get an immediate answer. I had to sit with it–my discontentment. During the long drive home, I continued to mull over thoughts. My realization came in the silence of sleeping kids and a phone-scrolling mom. My weariness wouldn't be fixed by a weekend away. It would be better if I habitually rested and sought God. My expectation was that a great summer vacation would fix the fatigue I'd been feeling; instead, I had disappointment and frustration.  However, out of the experience, truth struck me. Yes, vacations are great, and time in God's creation is so beneficial, but it doesn't make up for the lack of physical or mental rest. More importantly, even a good vacation doesn't fill your soul the way that time with Jesus does. In Luke 5:16, Jesus shows us an example of going away from the crowds to spend time with his Father, God. The more I look at my summer routine, the more I recognize my lack of this personal time dwelling with Jesus. As you enter the summer months, I encourage you to plan times to rest your body and soul.  Make time in your schedule to rest. You don't have to take a vacation or trip in order to make the downtime; simply plan for it. Be intentional with your Summer plans. Leave space for down days when you can relax. Enjoy quality time with others who encourage you to grow in your relationship with Christ. Gritty Faith Magazine is a beautiful, year-round magazine with wonderful articles for Christian women. You can get their free daily prayer emails or order a magazine here.  For more writing, encouragement to rest, and running your business from a Christian perspective, follow me on Instagram.

Are you exhaustuwhelmulated? Exhausted, overwhelmed, and overstimulated. Basically. It's end of the school year for students and more importantly, parents.

Are you an empath, a sensitive soul, or the one in the family who feels everything, and right now you are absolutely, utterly running on empty? What if the most irreverent, direct, and genuinely transformative ascended master on the planet has a message for you today that is either going to set you completely free or seriously tick you off? Probably both. Michael welcomes back Geoffrey Hoppe, channel for the legendary Adamus Saint Germain, Ascended Master, founding energy of the Crimson Circle, and the being who has spent 25 years delivering some of the most blunt, funny, and cosmically precise transmissions on the planet. What begins as a raw conversation about why the world's most sensitive people are falling apart faster than everyone else becomes a full live channeling from Adamus himself, and he arrives in rare form today. No softening. No hedging. No vague answers. Just the most direct, loving, and occasionally infuriating cosmic tough-love you've ever received from someone who has watched humanity loop the same patterns lifetime after lifetime and has officially had enough of it. This isn't about pushing through the hard times. This is about getting the bleep out of your own way, and finally letting the extraordinary being you already are come all the way through. Key Topics: Why the world's most sensitive, conscious, and awakened people are the ones struggling the most right now, and why that's not a sign that something's wrong, but that something massive is coming online. The eucatastrophe revealed: J.R.R. Tolkien's term for the unexpected, joyful, impossible turn at the very last moment, and why Adamus says it's not coming in the future. It's happening right now, inside you. The oxygen mask law for empaths: why continuing to pour yourself out for everyone else while running on empty isn't noble, isn't compassionate, and is actually, according to Adamus, screwing the world up. Suffering is optional: the boldest, most controversial thing Adamus has ever said on this show, and why he not only stands by it but doubles down. Why your fried nervous system is actually great news, and how the very fact that it's blown out is making room for the free energy body, the new sentience, to finally come all the way in. The light body upgrade explained: why your body aches, your memory is fuzzy, your emotions swing wildly from oversensitive to completely numb, and why this uncomfortable in-between is not breakdown but metamorphosis. New sentience: the completely unprecedented way of perceiving reality that is arriving on the planet right now, one that has nothing to do with emotions, mind, or anything written about before, and everything to do with getting out of your own way. The caterpillar, the butterfly, and the eagle: what to do for the people you love who aren't transforming at your pace, and why trying to pull them into the chrysalis with you is the single least compassionate thing you could do. The Split Earth decoded: what it actually means that a New Earth is already sitting right on top of the old one, and what shifts when you stop stealing energy from others and realize everything you need is already inside you. Why guilt is a luxury you can no longer afford, how you were hypnotized into it, how it functions like glue holding your old stories in place, and the one choice that dissolves it without ceremony, without ritual, without even trying to figure it out. The eucatastrophe isn't a point on the horizon. It's not waiting for the world to sort itself out. It is a reality unfolding right now inside every single person who is ready to stop looping, stop waiting for an angel to swoop in and save them, and finally, finally, take that deep breath, make the move they've been procrastinating on for years, and discover that the other side was right under their feet all along. The answers aren't in the Bible, the Quran, Lemuria, Atlantis, or any star system out there. They're right here. They always were. And they're so simple you've been overlooking them your entire life.

In today's episode, Gina discusses a common theme of many individual's anxiety: rumination about self-existence and threats and uncertainty surrounding this existence.

The storm will pass.-Timber Hawkeye Chapters0:27 Existential Anxiety Explained6:26 Growth Through Unsettling Change8:47 Return to the Present12:23 Grounding Practices That Help16:36 Meaning in Small Moments19:06 Final Quote on CalmSummaryIn this episode, we focus on existential anxiety and how it can show up as restlessness, dread, overthinking, and questioning of purpose, identity, and direction. We note that many people may feel unsettled, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected, especially in a fast-paced world filled with constant stimulation and comparison.We discuss how these questions are a deeply human experience and are not a sign that something is wrong. We also describe how, in periods of growth or change, old coping patterns may no longer fit, which can make people feel more unsteady even when they are moving forward.We explore how the anxious mind pulls us into regret about the past or fear about the future, and we suggest a simple response of noticing thoughts without fighting them. We emphasize that the present moment is where our power is, and that trying to solve everything at once usually increases distress.We also share grounding practices that can support the nervous system, including meditation, journaling, walking outside without a phone, quiet time, prayer, breathing, nature, creativity, listening deeply, and resting without guilt. We explain that gratitude journaling can help retrain the mind to notice what is nourishing, meaningful, and supportive.Finally, we reflect on the idea that meaning may be built through presence, kindness, connection, and daily living rather than one single grand purpose. We close by encouraging listeners to breathe, slow down, and remember that they do not need to solve their entire existence tonight.#Anxiety #ExistentialAnxiety #MentalHealth #Mindfulness #Presence #Meditation #Grounding #NervousSystem #SelfCare #PersonalGrowth #SpiritualAwakening #EmotionalHealth #StressRelief #InnerPeace #CopingMechanisms #SelfReflection #Gratitude #Journaling #HealingJourney #ThomasMerton #TimberHawkeye #AnxietyRelief #SleepAnxiety #Overthinking #EmotionalExhaustion #LifePurpose #Consciousness #MentalWellness #Calming #Relaxation #HolisticHealth #Breathwork #MidlifeCrisis #Identity #SelfDiscovery #MentalClarity #MindfulnessPractice #PsychologicalWellBeing #EmotionalResilience #BurnoutRecovery #StressManagement #IntentionalLiving #SoulSearching #InnerCalmSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Exhausted from hauling boxes all day, they arrive late to a costume party only to find unclear and constantly shifting rules with the host couple. What begins as a sexy group vibe with dancing, stripping, and conga-line energy quickly turns dramatic when the host husband pushes boundaries with Nessa while his wife is in the same smoke-filled room.The night ends in confrontation, an abrupt “party's over” moment, and a heartbreaking text the next morning that unfairly blamed Nessa. Years later, they reflect with honesty and growth on the red flags they missed, the importance of clear communication and firm boundaries, why they no longer give chaotic new couples as much grace, and how far they've come since that difficult experience.

What if the reason so many women feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, and overwhelmed… has nothing to do with a lack of willpower?In this episode, I sit down with holistic women's and menstrual health expert Nicole Bendayan to explore the truth about hormones, birth control, cycle tracking, feminine energy, fertility, and the wisdom of the female body.For decades, women have been taught to suppress symptoms instead of understand them. Painful periods, hormonal imbalances, burnout, mood swings, PMS, anxiety, and disconnection have become so common that many women believe they're normal.But what if they're not?In this conversation, we dive deep into the menstrual cycle, why women were never meant to feel the same every day, the impact of hormonal birth control, how modern life disconnects women from their natural rhythm, and what it means to truly work with your body instead of against it.You'll learn how hormones influence energy, emotions, relationships, intuition, confidence, attraction, and overall well-being. We also discuss what men need to understand about women, how to support a partner through different phases of her cycle, and why reconnecting to the feminine may be one of the most important health conversations of our time.This conversation is eye-opening, empowering, controversial, and deeply healing.Whether you're a woman looking to better understand your body or a man wanting to better understand the women in your life, this episode is a must-listen.

In this special episode of Takeaway Chinese, we're going to learn how to say "exhausted" in Chinese.

Think about the last time you were completely depleted. Exhausted. Running on empty. No strength left in you.Now ask yourself — was that when the pressure started?Most people assume the enemy attacks when you are doing something wrong. What Luke 4 reveals is far more dangerous than that — and far more personal to YOUR life right now.There is a specific moment the devil chose to come for Jesus. Not randomly. Not accidentally. He waited. He watched. And when that moment arrived — he did not come the way most people expect an enemy to come. He did not come with obvious evil. He did not come with something you could easily recognize and reject.He came with something far more difficult to resist than that.And here is what nobody tells you — the three things he offered Jesus were not foreign. They were not evil on the surface. One of them was legitimate. One of them was already promised. One of them came with scripture attached to it.So why is that dangerous for YOU?Because the same strategy he used against Jesus in His weakest moment is the same strategy he is using against YOU in yours. And if you do not know what to look for — you will not see it coming until it has already done its damage.There is ONE thing Jesus did in response to every single temptation. The same thing. Every time. Most believers know what it was — but they have never understood WHY it worked. And that WHY is the difference between falling for it and walking away in power.Luke 4 does not end with Jesus barely surviving. It ends with something that should make every believer stop and pay attention — because what happened AFTER the wilderness reveals exactly what is waiting for YOU on the other side of your weakest moment.

God Never Meant for You to Live Exhausted | Big Ten Week 4 by Faith Promise Church

If you've been doing everything right and still feel exhausted, anxious, and like your body just won't cooperate — this episode is for you. I sat down with Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine physician and COO of Troscriptions, to talk about the sympathetic spiral: a chronic fight-or-flight loop most people don't even know they're in. And here's what surprised me most — you don't have to feel stressed to be stuck in it. We get into why your cellular energy and your anxiety are locked in a loop, what mitochondrial dysfunction actually means for your daily life, and how a specific sequence of support can help you finally start feeling better. We also go deep on methylene blue — the history, how it works, the right dosing range, and the sourcing and safety details that most people skip (including who should absolutely not use it). Plus: why GABA deficiency is so common, how to calm your nervous system without sedating yourself, and why sleep is a full-day practice — not just a bedtime routine.

Most high performers believe the path to success lies in learning to suppress fear, ignore anxiety, push through overwhelm, and become emotionally bulletproof. Kobe Bryant once believed that too. But as he matured as a competitor, leader, husband, and father, he realized something profound: The goal was never to eliminate emotion. The goal was to stop fighting it. In this episode, I break down one of the most important mindset shifts Kobe ever made—from emotional avoidance and reactivity to emotional awareness and acceptance—and why this evolution made him more composed, resilient, free, and dangerous under pressure.

What if the foods marketed as “healthy” are actually contributing to the very symptoms so many women are struggling with today? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with Julia Putzeys, certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of the Trash Panda app, to expose the hidden reality of ultra-processed foods and how they impact energy, hormones, metabolism, mood, inflammation, and long-term health. Together, they unpack the confusing world of food marketing, ingredient labels, food additives, artificial flavors, seed oils, and the growing prevalence of ultra-processed foods in the modern food supply. Julia shares her own journey from believing she was eating healthy to discovering how many seemingly nutritious products were filled with ingredients that offered little nourishment and often contributed to poor health outcomes. They also discuss the powerful mindset shift from calorie counting and restriction toward nourishment, nutrient density, and real food. As mothers, both Dr. Mariza and Julia share practical strategies for helping children develop a healthier relationship with food while avoiding the traps of hyper-palatable, addictive processed products. If you've ever felt overwhelmed at the grocery store or questioned whether the foods in your pantry are actually supporting your health, this episode offers practical guidance and empowering tools to help you make more informed choices. JULIA PUTZEYS Julia Putzeys is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, founder of the Trash Panda app, and mother of three. Combining her background in software product management with her passion for nutrition, Julia created Trash Panda to help consumers quickly identify potentially harmful ingredients in packaged foods and discover healthier alternatives.

IN THIS EPISODE Why over 70% of grocery store products are considered ultra-processed foods The difference between processed foods and ultra-processed foods How food additives, flavorings, and dyes impact cravings, behavior, and long-term health Why calorie counting often distracts us from focusing on true nourishment The connection between ultra-processed foods, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic disease How food marketing creates confusion around what is actually healthy Practical strategies for helping children develop healthier eating habits How the Trash Panda app helps consumers identify healthier food swaps QUOTES“Eating whole food means reading the ingredients, not just the nutrition label.” “Your body becomes addicted to ultra-processed foods because they're designed that way.” “When I started focusing on real food, I had so much less food noise.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Use code ENERGIZED and get $10 off on annual membership for the Trash Panda App on IOS https://apps.apple.com/redeem Download the Trash Panda App now on IOS or Android https://trashpanda.app.link/AvwFh7mfG3b Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your MitoQ Order https://www.mitoq.com/energized%C2%A0 Trash Panda App Website Trash Panda App Instagram Trash Panda App Facebook Trash Panda App Youtube RELATED EPISODES  751: Bloating, Brain Fog & Hormone Chaos?

I was in the hospital for seven days recently. Scared. Exhausted. Completely out of control of what was happening to my body. In the middle of all of it — a nurse walked in and asked if I wanted a blanket. It sounds small. It wasn't. Because in that moment, someone was asking what I needed. And I couldn't stop thinking about how rarely that happens... especially for neurodivergent kids. We tell them to use their words. We say, "Come to me before it gets to be too much." But when they do — when they say it's too loud, the clothes are itchy, I can't handle the cafeteria — too often what follows is a sigh, an eye roll, a "you'll be fine." They learn to say they're fine. They mask harder. They stop coming to us. This episode is about one simple, radical thing we can do differently. Ask. And then really listen. I'll share what this looks like in real life — real examples — and what to do when your child, student or client says "I'm fine" or "I don't care" (because that's also a sign).  ❤️ Holly, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S. I've got more goodness for you!

Hey friend,  Do you keep starting over with your health and wonder why nothing ever sticks? Are you exhausted from researching the next protocol, supplement, or eating plan — and still not feeling better? Have you ever wondered if the problem isn't what you're trying, but how many things you're trying at once? In this episode, I'm sharing why chasing health trends keeps you stuck in the start-over cycle — and introducing the Feel Better Framework, my nine foundational areas that give your body what it actually needs. If you are a chronic illness mom who is tired of starting over, this is the episode that reframes the whole thing.

In this episode of our Daughters Series, we unpack the powerful story of Mary and Martha and discover why this familiar Bible story still has so much to teach us. We talk about the tension between doing things for Jesus and simply being with Him, the danger of burnout and performance-based faith, and the beautiful invitation Jesus gives every daughter to sit at His feet. We also explore one of the most moving moments in Scripture—Jesus weeping with Mary after the death of Lazarus—and what it reveals about His heart toward our pain, disappointment, and grief. Finally, we look at Mary's extravagant act of worship and uncover a powerful pattern throughout her life: every time we see Mary, she's found at the feet of Jesus. Whether you're feeling busy, burned out, heartbroken, or simply longing for more of God's presence, we hope this conversation reminds you that the posture of a daughter is always found at the feet of Jesus.
