The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a life mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host, a sought after burnout recovery coach for high-achieving women and help you heal from burnout and survival mode, so you can reclaim your energy, joy, and rediscover your voice. Each week, I bring you inspiring guests, insights, and tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.   Episode Title: How Did Book Club Member, Gina, Go From Burnout to Empowered? Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Gina Shutan Episode Summary: In this episode, we sit down with Gina Shutan, a woman whose story is a testament to what's possible when you stop pushing through burnout and start listening to your body, your mind, and your heart. Gina was mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. Like so many of us, she thought exhaustion was something to just “get over.” But everything shifted when she picked up Robyn's book, Exhausted to Energized. Through tiny changes, like simply lacing up her gym shoes, Gina began a powerful transformation grounded in self-compassion, gratitude, and a mindset shift that helped her rewrite her life. Today, Gina isn't just more energized, she's more alive. This conversation is for anyone who's been putting themselves last, battling perfectionism, or wondering how to find their spark again.    You'll learn: Why perfectionism is often a mask for fear. How to build energy with micro-habits (even on your worst days). The role of gratitude in rewiring your mindset. How to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion. What it means to lead your life, not your exhaustion. How small actions (like mentoring or gifting a book) create ripples of empowerment.   Memorable Quotes: “Run my life, not my exhaustion.” – Gina “Food for your soul.” – Gina, on reading Exhausted to Energized “Your attitude is everything. Itt's how you enter a room and connect with the world.” – Robyn    Actionable Steps for Listeners: Commit to One Tiny Win Today Whether it's putting on your gym shoes or drinking a glass of water, start. Energy builds  from movement, not perfection. Reframe Your Inner Voice Notice when you're being hard on yourself. Pause, and ask: “Would I say this to someone I love?” Practice the 90-Day Shift Like Gina, commit to 90 days of small mindset shifts—gratitude journaling, moving your body, and celebrating micro-wins. Mentor or Support Someone Else Gina's healing deepened when she started mentoring others. You grow stronger when you help others rise. Lead with Attitude, Not Exhaustion Every room you walk into is shaped by your energy. What are you bringing with you?   Final Thought: Your exhaustion doesn't make you broken. It makes you human. And like Gina, you have the power to reclaim your energy—not by doing more, but by choosing differently. This isn't about pushing harder. It's about pausing, listening, and finally honoring the truth inside you.    What listeners have to say: “Gina's story made me cry, because it felt like mine. I finally feel like I'm not the only one who's been silently struggling.” — Lauren D., Chief Revenue Officer  “The idea of starting with lacing up your shoes? That hit me hard. I can do that. I did do that today.” — Mindy T., mother of three  “I gifted this book after listening to the episode. My sister is going through a rough time, and I wanted her to feel the same hope I did.” — Emily R., HR executive   These stories remind us: Midlife isn't a crisis, it's an invitation. Burnout isn't weakness, it's wisdom asking for change. And reinvention isn't about starting again, it's about starting true.    Now it's your turn: What moment or quote from Gina's journey resonated most with you? Have you ever felt like your exhaustion was running your life? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

In this Mastermind episode of The Leadership Podcast, General Stanley McChrystal returns for a third conversation—his most personal and revealing appearance yet. Stan discusses the defining choices in his life, the moments that shaped his character, and the values that continue to guide his leadership. He talks about how his parents influenced his values through action, not words, and how his mother's sudden death when he was sixteen changed the trajectory of his life and family.   Stan shares his experience including near-expulsion from West Point, and another in his early Special Forces days when he learned that trying to be liked is not the same as leading well.  Stan describes what it was like to work under leaders who lacked character, and how those experiences helped him define the kind of leader he never wanted to become. He discusses how having strong peers and a grounded spouse helped him stay true to his principles, even in environments where it was easy to lose direction. Stan shares how aging has narrowed his circle and sharpened his expectations for friendship. He also talks about how his views on war have evolved.  He argues that true change in leadership and values may require discomfort or even crisis to take root. Stan shares why he believes society needs shared standards again—not to suppress individuality, but to maintain mutual respect and unity.  Whether you're a young professional, a seasoned leader, or someone thinking about the legacy you want to leave, this episode will challenge you to reflect. Stan reminds us that we're not passengers in our own development. We can choose the kind of leader we want to be. You can find this mastermind episode wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube | Key Takeaways [04:05] Stan shared how the foundation of his character was quietly built at home. His father, a combat infantryman, was steady and soft-spoken—the kind of man young Stan wanted to emulate. His mother, a thoughtful Southern woman, modeled integrity and social conviction. Stan said, “They never sat us down and talked to us about values… they just lived in a way that you thought, well, that's the right way to go.” [07:11] Stan reflected on the emotional toll of losing his mother at 16. Her sudden death shook the entire family and deeply impacted his father, who, despite being a general and a warrior, visibly broke down.  [09:01] When asked how he became the person he is today, Stan talked about trying on different leadership personas. He once tried being the “hard-ass” and even channeled General Patton, only to discover none of them fit. Eventually, through reflection and mistakes, he said, “At some point, there is a you, and you've got to sort of figure out what that is.” [11:43] Stan admitted that he came dangerously close to being expelled from West Point. It's a story he laughs about now, but he acknowledged that if he hadn't graduated, “we would not be laughing about it now.” [13:01] One of Stan's earliest moral tests came during Ranger School. Exhausted and frustrated with a peer leader, Stan and a few others simply refused to follow orders. “There was a right and wrong… and we did the wrong thing,” he confessed. He's carried the shame of that moment ever since, not because of the person they disrespected—but because he remembers what he did. [15:20] Stan looked back on his time as a young Special Forces lieutenant and admitted that he tried too hard to be liked. Over time, he learned that leadership isn't about popularity—it's about standards and setting the tone. A pivotal leadership lesson came when Stan was publicly fired by a seasoned commander after making a cocky remark in a meeting. “I've decided relieving you is wrong,” the major later told him. “You're going to stay here, and I'm going to teach you to be an Army officer.” That humbling moment became a turning point—one Stan says he was lucky to receive. [20:19] Early in his career, Stan served under a battalion commander who taught him how not to lead. “He humiliated himself,” Stan realized, after being screamed at during a march. Later, that same leader quietly reenlisted an unfit soldier just to hit a metric—an act that shattered any remaining trust. “You don't need a lot of examples like that to say: I will never do that.” [24:04] When asked if a public figure ever failed the character test, Stan said yes—and the disappointment stuck. “You start to say, well, if they're really good at what they do, is it okay they do things they shouldn't?” His answer: No. “Everybody's got weaknesses… but there are bounds of acceptability,” and if someone crosses them, he simply steps away. [26:20] Stan shared that as he's gotten older, his circle has gotten smaller. “I actually have a very small number of friends,” he said. While he's become less judgmental, he's also more selective. “I'm going to have people that I really respect and like—because that's who makes me respect myself.” [27:50] Reflecting on whether younger people can shortcut the wisdom that comes with age, Stan emphasized the power of reading. Books like Once an Eagle offered different lessons at each stage of life. “Life is nuances forever,” he said, and engaging with deep, thoughtful material can guide us when experience hasn't caught up yet. [28:54] Stan talked candidly about how his views on war have evolved. “Wars don't actually solve the problem that we hope they will,” he said. After seeing combat firsthand, he became more cautious. But he also noted how those who sacrifice gain legitimacy in shaping national decisions. “They now felt legitimate,” he said of Israeli soldiers after Gaza—ready to sit at the table. [34:13] Stan's call for a national conversation on character is rooted in concern for our systems. “We've let character erode,” he said. Good people enter politics and emerge changed—warped by the system's demands. He doesn't believe politicians will lead this movement. “It'll start in schools, on teams, in churches,” he said. “Most of you are not being the people you even want to be.” [38:11] On the question of whether pain is necessary for change, Stan said plainly, “Yes, I think there has to be more pain.” He saw it during the transformation of JSOC—reform only came during failure. While he believes powerful leaders could spark change, he warned, “The history of very powerful leaders is you get something you don't want.” [39:35] Stan acknowledged the tension between individuality and unity. “There need to be standards of decorum,” he said. He isn't advocating for hats and skirts, but for shared norms that show respect. “The society doesn't work without some kinds of rules,” he warned—rules that give us common ground. [42:18] Stan offered this insight: “Who you are is not an accident… make it intentional.” He believes we each have agency over our convictions and our discipline. His advice to young people: “Expect to stumble, expect to make mistakes… but move toward who you want to be. Don't drift.” [45:07] And remember...“I think. Therefore I am.” - René Descartes Quotable Quotes “A leader is not an individual rock that everybody comes around. It's a group of people, and you reinforce each other.” “Everybody's got weaknesses… but there are bounds of acceptability.” "Leadership is never about the leader. It's about the mission, the people, and the values we refuse to compromise." “Life has nuances forever.” “Wars don't actually solve the problem that we hope that they will.” “Who you are is not an accident. That just happens.” “Make decisions on who you want to be and then move toward that.” “Expect to stumble, expect to make mistakes.” "Why do we allow politicians to lie to us when we know they're lying and they know we know it? Why do we put up with that?" “Becoming who you want to be starts with deciding what that is.” “Character is the only metric that matters.” "You may not control your physical surroundings, but you control your mind." “Reaching our convictions demands deep reflection.” “The most critical discipline is to think for ourselves.”   Books mentioned in this episode:   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

This episode originally aired on June 29, 2021. By May 23, 2020, 41-year-old Ian Eckles had been missing for a week. He had made plans to go hunting with a friend, but never showed up at their meeting spot. When he failed to report to work the next day, concern quickly turned into alarm.Ian's family and friends launched a desperate search across the rugged terrain of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest along Washington's Cascade Mountains. Exhausted and running on adrenaline, they scoured the wilderness for any sign of him.Then, something surreal happened. Ian's FJ Cruiser came barreling down the mountain. But Ian wasn't driving. A brief, tense encounter with the man behind the wheel ended with him fleeing into the forest, and a chase that didn't last long.That encounter triggered a massive manhunt for an armed and dangerous fugitive, and it raised even more questions about what really happened to Ian Eckles.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form: http://www.thevanishedpodcast.com/case-submission/.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why is it that so many high-performing women, those who train hard, eat clean, and juggle intense work and family lives, still feel puffy, stuck, and exhausted no matter how “healthy” they are?  In this episode, we unpack a surprising hormonal pattern hiding beneath the surface: your body might be actively shutting down the very system you rely on for energy and fat loss. Through a powerful client case study, a runner, mom, and executive who couldn't figure out why her fat loss stalled, we dive into the hidden role of cortisol and cortisone. Her labs revealed flatlined cortisol and elevated cortisone, a red flag of chronic stress adaptation. This wasn't just mental overwhelm: her biology had hit the brakes. We break down how this protective mechanism, like a hormonal dimmer switch, turns off your body's ability to burn fat, regulate blood sugar, and respond to stress. When your system favors cortisone over cortisol, you enter a kind of metabolic “freeze,” where motivation, energy, and even hormones like estrogen and progesterone take a nosedive. You'll learn why this client's symptoms such as stubborn belly fat, exhaustion, and poor recovery weren't a matter of willpower, but survival. We share the exact next steps she took: from pulling back on cardio to rebuilding adrenal function and strength. If you're a high-achieving woman wondering why nothing seems to work anymore, this episode could be your lightbulb moment.  Time Stamps: (1:38) First Time Apart In A Long Time (4:17) Lesser Talked About Cortisone (11:59) The Nigerian Prince Dreams (14:50) What Low Cortisol Could Mean (22:12) Prioritizing Self Care---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Exhausted.This episode is for the woman who's done the work but is thinking, “Why do I still feel like this?”We're talking about the emotional fatigue that comes from surviving trauma and trying to heal it at the same time. The moments where healing starts to feel like another full-time job. When every trigger makes you question whether anything you're doing is even working.In this conversation, I'm not giving you more tools to stack on your plate. I'm naming what you're already carrying. And I'm here to remind you—you're not doing it wrong.

Jeff Jay was sleeping under bushes in San Francisco, physically deteriorating and contemplating suicide, when his parents found him through an unlikely series of events. What started as a simple phone call became the beginning of a 40+ year recovery journey, and eventually helped create the modern intervention methods that have guided thousands of families.   Highlights   What Every Family Needs to Know:   The gentle question that changed everything- how one father's caring words reached his son when nothing else could (and why the approach mattered more than the words themselves) Why "they have to want it" isn't the whole story- understanding how motivation and readiness actually work in recovery, plus what families can do while waiting The doctor's straightforward explanation that provided clarity- a simple framework that helped make sense of addiction as a medical condition Real success rates for family interventions- 85-90% when done thoughtfully, and what happens with the remaining 10-15% Understanding the addicted brain- why decision-making is compromised and how this knowledge can help families respond with compassion instead of frustration How families can recognize their influence- you have more impact than you might think, especially when you know how to use it constructively What "raising the bottom" means for your family- helping someone reach acceptance sooner rather than waiting for more consequences The power of "doing this together"- why recovery works better when the whole family participates, not just the person with addiction When intervention doesn't work on day one- what families can do to maintain momentum and continue the conversation Why modern treatment approaches can be confusing- navigating the difference between treating addiction and treating other conditions simultaneously The trauma and addiction connection explained- understanding when to address underlying issues and when to focus on sobriety first How structured family recovery works- supporting your loved one (and yourselves) through the crucial first year The difference between enabling and supporting- practical guidance for families learning new boundaries What to do when you feel exhausted and hopeless- finding your way back to effective action when you've been through so much Why having an ally matters- the importance of not going through this alone, and how to find the right support Practical next steps for families ready to learn more- where to start when you're ready to try a different approach   This conversation offers both hope and practical guidance for families who love someone struggling with addiction. Jeff's story reminds us that even in the darkest moments, the right kind of help- offered with love and clear boundaries- can make all the difference.   If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, remember: you don't have to figure this out alone, and you don't have to solve everything at once.   Resources mentioned: Love First (3rd edition), It Takes a Family, No More Letting Go, https://lovefirst.net/    For families ready to move from feeling helpless to taking loving action- this episode shows you it's possible.

This "Coping" reflection is Kathy reading a poem titled "For One Who Is Exhausted." The poem speaks to someone who has moved too quickly through life and encourages them to reconnect with their senses, appreciate small miracles, observe nature, embrace silence, and be gentle with themselves. Highlights 00:00:00 Introduction to the Poem - Kathy introduces the poem, stating its title as "For One Who Is Exhausted". 00:00:08 Encouragement to Slow Down and Reconnect Kathy recites the poem, advising someone to slow down because they have moved too fast over false ground, suggesting their soul is calling them back. The poem encourages taking refuge in the senses and opening up to the small miracles one has rushed through. It suggests observing the way rain falls slowly and freely and imitating the habit of twilight. The poem advises drawing alongside the silence of stone until its calmness can claim the individual and to be excessively gentle with oneself. Kathy This is titled, "For One Who Is Exhausted". You have traveled too fast over false ground. Now your soul has come to take you back. Take refuge in your senses, open up to all the small miracles you rushed through. Become inclined to watch the way of rain when it falls slow and free. Imitate the habit of twilight, taking time to open the well of color that fostered the brightness of day. Draw alongside the silence of stone until its calmness can claim you. Be excessively gentle with yourself.

In this episode, I let Hotmomz AI™ scan real women's photos, symptoms, and bloodwork to uncover what their bodies were actually trying to say. These are women who “did everything right”—tracked macros, worked out, saw doctors—and still couldn't lose weight or get their energy back.The AI pulled data I didn't even input and decoded fat storage patterns, hormone shifts, and trauma loops that no coach, trainer, or lab result ever pointed out.I share the exact scan results, what it said about belly fat, cravings, bloating, and burnout—and the emotional and nervous system triggers that were driving it all. One woman was just trying to be “polite” by not signing up… but the AI said she was frozen in hormonal depletion and trauma survival.This is next-level somatic work + hormone science in your pocket. You'll never look at your belly, your fatigue, or your symptoms the same again.00:56 The Root Issue: Nervous System and Genetic Coding01:06 Hotmomz AI Scan02:39 Case Study: Postpartum Challenges04:21 AI Analysis and Recommendations06:49 Understanding Hormonal and Nervous System Impact15:37 Customized Workout and Nutrition Plan19:56 Client Testimonials and Final Thoughts21:05 Triggering the Real You22:00 Live Scan23:41 Understanding Trauma and Body Signals26:52 Optimizing Aesthetics and Addressing Trauma32:10 Performance-Based Self-Worth39:16 Financial Stability and HealthSupport the showReady to be hot, healthy, and struggle-free?

Today we're diving into something I call the Triple “S” Formula — three things that are often overlooked in women's health, but absolutely foundational for thriving:✨ Stress. Sleep. Self-care.If you feel:Exhausted but can't restStuck in survival modeStruggling with mood swings, weight gain, or hormone chaos...I want you to know this: It's not your fault. And you're not alone.You've probably been taught to “push through,” to keep going, to take care of everyone else first. But today, I want to flip that script.

Pretending will exhaust you. God didn't call you to hide behind Him—He called you to grow with Him.

We’ve been doing these shows where we don’t book any guests, where we fill the hour with your calls. And your calls have been interesting and surprising and amusing. This hour, the conversation winds around to Tolkien’s potential Lord of the Rings sequel, planned Flag Day protests, parasocial relationships, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, former Vice President Kamala Devi Harris, Annie Lennox* … Anything. (Seemingly) everything. These shows are fun for us, and they seem to be fun for you, too. So we did another one. *Annie Lennox, who doesn't have a middle name, which screws up my series there, is an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE), but she's not a Dame Grand Cross or Dame Commander, so she can't use the title Dame. Which also screws up my series there. And I admit that I had to look up Kamala Harris's middle name. Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Parenting Decoded welcomes McCall Gordon to tackle one of parenting's toughest questions: Why won't my kid sleep? Her book is aimed at parents of "livewires" — kids who are more alert, intense, and emotionally reactive than average, making traditional sleep advice ineffective.McCall explains that temperament plays a huge role in sleep struggles — some kids just have a harder time winding down. These children are perceptive, persistent, and often lack typical “sleepy cues” like yawning. Instead, they need more support and a customized sleep strategy.She encourages parents to stop blaming themselves. These kids aren't “bad” sleepers — they're wired differently. The solution? A gradual, step-by-step approach to bedtime routines, not the cold-turkey methods like “cry it out,” which often backfire for sensitive kids.McCall's key advice:Understand your child's temperamentTaper off bedtime habits graduallyUse consistent patterns at bedtime and during night wakingsThink of it like teaching a child to ride a bike — slowly let go while supporting themShe also emphasizes ruling out medical issues for frequent night wakings, especially in infants or kids who snore.The bottom line: You're not crazy, and it's not your fault — you just need a different roadmap.Link to the book on Amazon:  Why Won't You Sleep?Link to the Audible book: Why Won't You Sleep?Email me at info@parentingdecoded.com or go to my website at www.parentingdecoded.com.

I need to tell you about Brenda. When she first came to me, she was done. Exhausted, burned out, frustrated. She felt like she was living in a body she didn't recognize anymore — and no matter how “healthy” she tried to be, nothing was working. ✔️ Her hair was thinning. ✔️ Her weight was climbing. ✔️ She couldn't sleep. ✔️ Her energy was nonexistent. ✔️ Her cycles were all over the place. And she kept thinking, “Maybe it's just stress… maybe it'll pass.” But it didn't. What Brenda didn't realize was that years of unaddressed hormone shifts — from birth control to motherhood to relentless career demands to a devastating divorce — had sent her system into survival mode. Her cortisol was sky-high, her estrogen detox pathways were struggling, and her body was holding on to everything because it didn't feel safe. Here's what changed everything for her: We tested first. Not at the end of the program. Not as an afterthought. Right up front. We used a DUTCH hormone test to see exactly what was happening inside her body — what her cortisol patterns looked like, how she was metabolizing estrogen, and whether her body was trying to keep up or completely tapped out. Then we built a customized plan specifically for her body. No cookie-cutter protocols, no generic advice. ✅ Nutrition tailored to her cycle. ✅ Targeted, effective supplements. ✅ Stress management strategies for real life. ✅ And ongoing testing to track real, measurable progress. And today? Brenda is thriving. ✔️ Her energy is back. ✔️ Her cycles are regular. ✔️ She's sleeping through the night. ✔️ The stubborn weight has started to release. ✔️ And, most importantly, she feels like herself again. I share Brenda's story because I know so many women are walking around right now in burnout mode, thinking this is just how it is. It doesn't have to be.

If you're near High Island, Texas in the spring, you might witness a "fallout," one of the great spectacles of bird migration. Thousands of birds, including Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, orioles, Painted Buntings, and warblers of all kinds, as well as tanagers and Indigo Buntings, like this one, drop from the sky. They've just flown non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico, covering 600 miles in about 15 hours. Exhausted and hungry from bucking the storm, they land at last.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
