Dear Humans, Today Jesus and I were joined by writer and human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid, who watched and analyzed last night's State of the Union so you didn't have to!

Lawrence Zarian hosts an episode of “You Are Beautiful” with guest Melissa Errico, beginning with a candid, humorous setup about lighting, auditions, and aesthetics before moving into Lawrence's background as a longtime TV makeover expert and QVC clothing designer behind “Beautiful by Lawrence Zarian.” They talk about how fashion is less about how you look and more about how you feel, share favorite pieces from Lawrence's line (including blues, an off-the-shoulder rosette top, and a scalloped V-neck stripe), and discuss what Melissa wears to feel confident—V-necks, black-and-white Breton stripes, vintage biker boots, and eclectic, artsy combinations. Lawrence and Melissa also answer a mirror question about what they like seeing in themselves that day, including Melissa's healing from an eye stye, feeling rested, and fresh red hair, and Lawrence's enjoyment of wearing blue, having a good hair day after hair loss post-COVID, and embracing turning 60. The conversation expands into Melissa's artistry and origins: her father playing Michel Legrand at home during the Vietnam era, how that music later led to Melissa's close collaboration with Legrand on Broadway and on a symphonic record (“Legrand Affair” with the Brussels Philharmonic), and her formative experience seeing “On Your Toes” on Broadway that made her sob and sparked her desire to perform. They discuss Sondheim's “Beautiful” from “Sunday in the Park with George,” which Melissa reads aloud to frame beauty as something that changes, and Lawrence's intent to focus his podcast on the essence of people rather than projects. Melissa then describes her evolving relationship with Barbra Streisand—how Malcolm Gets pushed her to truly listen, how Streisand's artistry feels like a force of nature, and how Melissa's “The Streisand Effect” concert is an homage exploring what Streisand made possible rather than a tribute imitation. They share personal connections to Broadway (including Lawrence's first love story with Hugh Panaro after seeing “Les Misérables,” and plans to coordinate seeing him perform again), and Melissa recounts meeting Streisand briefly backstage at Madison Square Garden. Melissa also describes creating a new song concept, “Daughter of Fire,” inspired by Streisand's memoir and a moment with her own daughter, and she closes by sharing her current release: an album titled “I Can Dream, Can't I?” rolled out as weekly singles via a “waterfall release,” featuring classic American songs and ending with Joni Mitchell's “Both Sides Now.” The episode ends with Lawrence's signature prompt—Melissa answering “I am beautiful because…”—and she responds that she is beautiful because she feels music deeply as something precious that passes through her.Timestamp Menu: 00:51 Broadway Beginnings and My Fair Lady01:49 Meet Lawrence and the Beauty Theme02:46 Fashion Crushes and QVC Picks04:24 How a Designer Is Made08:31 Podcast Origin and Mirror Question09:32 Melissa on Exhaustion and Healing12:38 Three Things You Like Today15:14 Aging and Self Acceptance at 6017:24 Sondheim Beautiful Reading21:58 Melissa Musical Spark and Legrand26:56 Broadway Awakening and Les Mis30:48 Broadway Crush Memories31:30 Broadway Boyfriends Bond32:14 Streisand Effect Origins37:05 Meeting Barbra Briefly39:40 Daughter of Fire Song42:26 Style That Feels Fire48:21 Wardrobe Tips After 4053:37 New Album Dreaming56:32 Beautiful Because Music58:35 Blue Love Farewell

The Fear of Aging and Body Image isn't really about wrinkles, weight, or appearance. It's about something much deeper.In this episode, we explore how anxiety around aging and body image issues are often rooted in the fear of rejection and the need for approval. When we believe we're only acceptable if we look a certain way, we begin changing ourselves to feel safe — not authentic.

Noob Spearo Podcast | Spearfishing Talk with Shrek and Turbo
Host Shrek opens the Noob Spearo podcast with a listener voice message from Matt sharing ear-care tips for divers (coconut oil drops before diving and periodic rinses with a 50/50 vinegar and alcohol mix). The episode then jumps into a last-day, post-trip recap of the Whitsundays Sail & Spear Trip, with Sam the Waterman explaining the context: sailing through the Whitsunday Islands to the outer Great Barrier Reef, hundreds of fish landed across the trip, multiple 20kg+ GTs caught on rod and line between spearfishing sessions, and notable catches like Red Throat and Spangled Emperor on luncheon meat, alongside strong crew bonding. In a roundtable-style debrief, guests and instructors share highlights, misses, and "frother" shoutouts: exhaustion from consecutive days of diving, stories of drift dives and tidal creek/lagoon systems, Spanish mackerel attempts using throw flashers and diver formations, bull sharks around the boat, and lessons on relaxing during deep dives (relax jaw, hands, feet; free-float the top 10m). Several divers celebrate first-time or milestone catches including yellow lip emperor, coral trout, Red Throat Emperor, Red Emperor, parrotfish, and multiple GTs landed early in the morning. The group emphasizes buddy diving, safety, instruction quality (notably Tim), and the unique Great Barrier Reef scenery. The episode closes with details on how to join future Sail & Spear charters via spearfishingcourses.com.au, plus a push to watch the video version on YouTube/Spotify and check out the revamped Noob Spearo YouTube channel with help from Sam the Waterman.

SummaryIn this conversation, Dr. Natalie discusses the challenges women face during midlife, particularly around wellness shaming, hormonal changes, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. She emphasizes the importance of introspection and listening to one's body rather than relying solely on external validation and wellness culture. Dr. Natalie encourages women to embrace their individuality and build self-worth from within, acknowledging that it's okay to make mistakes along the way.TakeawaysThe exhaustion women feel in midlife is real and valid.Hormonal changes can create chaos in our bodies, similar to adolescence.Habit formation is challenging, especially when trying to adapt to new life phases.Introspection is crucial; we should listen to our bodies rather than just external advice.Wellness culture often exploits women's insecurities for profit.It's important to recognize that each woman's experience is unique.Building self-worth from within is essential for navigating midlife.It's okay to not have all the answers about what your body needs.Listening to your body can lead to better health outcomes than following external advice.You are not broken; you are evolving.Keywordsmidlife, wellness, hormones, introspection, self-worth, health, women, perimenopause, wellness culture, body positivitySound bites"The exhaustion is real.""It's okay to mess it up.""You are not broken."Chapters00:00 The Pressure of Midlife Wellness06:18 The Challenge of Habit Formation11:38 Critique of Wellness Culture21:00 Embracing Your Inner ExpertResources & Links: Connect with Dr. Natalie:Website https://LearnToLoveYourStory.com Facebook facebook.com/learntoloveyourstoryInstagram instagram.com/dr.nataliemarrLinked In linkedin.com/in/natalie-m-marr-psy-d-lp-6a9298147Tik Tok tiktok.com/@doc.natalieDISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and video is not a replacement for therapy and is not clinical, medical, or mental health treatment.

Send a textEver hear a client say “I'm exhausted” and feel the urge to fix it fast? We've been there too. Today we unpack why that phrase is usually a surface signal pointing to deeper beliefs, sneaky scarcity stories, and a quiet fear of saying no. Instead of stacking more tactics, we show how to slow down, listen longer, and guide the conversation three or four layers beneath the complaint—where the real shift happens.We walk through a vivid coaching example: a high-achieving leader, parent, and business builder who kept saying yes to everything out of fear she'd miss her one big chance. The result? Diluted focus, chronic overwhelm, and calendar chaos that no time block could cure. By naming the core belief—there's never enough—we helped her choose one or two priorities, label the rest “not right now,” and watch the tactics finally work. Her energy returned because her attention stopped leaking into low-impact commitments.We also explore the mindset side of fatigue. Exhaustion can be physical or mental and still be shaped by meaning. The internal loop “I'm tired and failing” shrinks capacity, while “I'm tired and proud of my effort” restores it. We share the precise questions we use to reach the root: What are you protecting? What fear would action expose? What belief makes no unsafe? Where's the hidden payoff in staying overwhelmed? These prompts help clients see the mechanism behind the feeling so they can't unsee it—and that's where durable change starts.If you coach, lead, or simply want your energy back, you'll learn how to replace band-aid advice with high-impact coaching that uncovers beliefs, tightens boundaries, and channels effort into what actually moves the needle. Subscribe, share this with a fellow coach or leader, and leave a review with the question you'd ask first when someone says, “I'm exhausted.”Interested becoming a High Impact Coach?

The busyness of the semester is in full swing and, frankly, I'm tired! Not the kind of tired I was when our first six kids were eight and under, but still feeling pretty exhausted. I know I'm not the only one. There are days when we can absolutely pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and get the things done. And then there are days when everything just feels nearly impossible. Yes, it might have to do with how much sleep you're getting, but it also might have a lot to do with how you're talking to yourself. What I've learned, and what I'm talking about in today's podcast episode, is that there is a major difference between being physically tired and emotionally tired. If you catch yourself saying, "I can't handle this. I don't wanna do this anymore. This is too much," then, maybe the thing you're actually tired of is feeling incapable and inadequate to handle the life God is giving you. My sisters in Christ, here's the truth: God does not give you more than you can handle, especially when you lean into Him for strength. If that feels hard, please grab your earbuds and let's talk about what's really wearing you down, and how to lay it at the foot of the Cross in: Physical vs Emotional Exhaustion.

A conversation with meditation teacher Jay Michaelson about what to do when you're constantly tired, fried, and running on empty. If you feel exhausted seemingly all the time—whether it's a low hum or something louder—you're not alone. In this conversation, Jay Michaelson, our Teacher of the Month for February, talks with executive producer DJ Cashmere about the relentless fatigue so many of us are experiencing, and what actually helps. We talk about: Why your first move should be self-compassion (not self-blame)—especially in a culture obsessed with sleep optimization The important oscillation between being with difficulty versus reaching for an antidote HALT: the acronym that can save you (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) How to investigate exhaustion without trying to fix it right away Practical antidotes: screen hygiene, micro-naps, and yes, brain machines How our Stone Age brains are being hijacked by tech companies Why nap shame is "pure garbage" and you should kiss it goodbye The social conditions causing exhaustion that are beyond individual control The through-line: this isn't about becoming superhuman or gritting your teeth through exhaustion. It's about relating to it differently, being kinder to yourself, and using whatever tools actually work—even if they feel unconventional. Jay's guided meditations and live AMA sessions are available throughout February in the 10% with Dan Harris app. Find more from Jay at jaymichaelson.substack.com.

Coffee is comforting. Familiar. For many of us, it's the unofficial start button for the day. But have you ever paused to wonder whether your daily caffeine habit is truly supporting your health—or simply helping you push through exhaustion? In this episode, we take an honest, balanced look at caffeine from a Christian, whole-person perspective. We'll talk about the potential benefits, the possible downsides, and how caffeine can affect sleep, stress, mood, and even our sense of freedom. This conversation is for Christian women who want to care for their bodies with wisdom and discernment. The goal isn't to shame coffee drinkers or create fear—it's to help you slow down, think clearly, and consider what's best for your body and season of life. What Caffeine Really Is Caffeine is often treated as harmless and normal, but it's technically considered a stimulant that affects the nervous system. It naturally occurs in coffee beans, tea leaves, and cacao, and it's also manufactured and added to many processed foods and drinks. Most of us think of caffeine as something found only in coffee or soda. But it also shows up in places like: Energy drinks Pain relievers Chocolate and candy Certain gums and mints Even some personal care products In the United States, the majority of adults consume caffeine every day, often without giving it much thought. The Helpful Side of Caffeine Caffeine isn't automatically “bad.” Used in reasonable amounts, it can offer real benefits, such as: Feeling more awake and alert Sharper reaction time Short-term mental focus Extra stamina for certain tasks Occasional support with pain relief For some women, a cup of coffee is simply enjoyable and fits well into a healthy lifestyle. The concern isn't caffeine itself. The concern is how easily it can become a crutch instead of a choice. The Possible Downsides What gives you energy in the morning can also interfere with your body in ways you might not notice right away. Regular caffeine use has been linked with things like: Trouble falling or staying asleep Higher stress and anxiety levels Changes in heart rate and blood pressure Feeling wired but tired Increased irritability Negative effects for sensitive individuals One of the biggest traps is the cycle many women get stuck in: Not enough sleep → more caffeine → worse sleep → even more caffeine. Over time, caffeine can become both the thing you rely on for energy and the very thing stealing your rest. Dependence Is More Common Than We Realize Most people don't think of caffeine as something you can be dependent on. But many experience real physical effects when they stop using it. Common symptoms after cutting back include: Headaches Low energy Difficulty focusing Mood changes Feeling achy or “off” Because these feelings are uncomfortable, it's easy to reach for more coffee just to avoid them. That's how a simple habit can slowly turn into something we feel controlled by. A Faith-Centered Lens on Coffee and Caffeine As Christian women, we're invited to live with freedom and wisdom in every area of life—including our daily habits. Scripture offers this gentle reminder: “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful… I will not be dominated by anything.” – 1 Corinthians 6:12 Coffee may be permissible. Caffeine may be socially normal. But a better question is: Is it truly helpful for you right now? If you feel like you can't function without caffeine, or you're using it to ignore exhaustion instead of listening to your body, that may be worth bringing before the Lord. Your body was designed for rhythms of rest and restoration. Stimulants can't replace what real sleep and peace provide. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – An honest conversation about America's favorite legal drug 01:00 – Understanding what caffeine actually is 02:00 – Surprising places caffeine can be found 03:20 – How caffeine can create a sleep cycle problem 03:45 – Possible benefits of moderate caffeine use 04:10 – Potential effects on the heart and stress levels 05:00 – Special concerns for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and children 07:20 – How caffeine withdrawal can show up 09:40 – Why caffeine often masks deeper fatigue 10:15 – A biblical perspective on being mastered by habits 11:10 – Ways to evaluate your own caffeine use Key Takeaways Caffeine can be useful—but it can also quietly interfere with sleep and stress. Many people rely on caffeine more than they realize. More coffee isn't always the answer to low energy. Each woman's body responds differently—discernment matters. Faith invites us to care for our bodies with intention, not autopilot. Instead of asking, “Am I allowed to drink coffee?” consider asking: “Is this helping me thrive—or just helping me keep going when I need rest?” If this episode made you pause and think about your own habits—whether with caffeine, sleep, stress, or energy—you don't have to sort it all out alone. I offer one-on-one Health Clarity Sessions where we slow everything down and talk through what's really going on in your life and your body.

In this final episode of The Becoming Years series, the conversation reframes midlife as an identity shift and powerful invitation rather than a breakdown. Dr. Anna Marie explores loneliness among high-achieving women, the impact of nervous system burnout, and how changing bodies and roles call for new ways of living. Listeners are encouraged to prioritize self-care, deepen relationships through honest conversations, and courageously pursue what they truly desire in the second half of life. Practical reflection tools—like the "seven whys" exercise—are shared to help uncover deeper needs and design a more aligned, energizing future. Key Points Midlife is an identity shift, not a breakdown You are not behind; you are becoming Loneliness is common for high-achieving women after 40 Career, parenting, and success can quietly erode connections Exhaustion often comes from nervous system burnout, not weakness Invisible labor and hormonal shifts add to midlife fatigue Regulating the nervous system is vital for healthy relationships Partners benefit from syncing and co-regulating together Honest conversations about needs reduce the urge to "fix" each other Self-care: eat well, move your body, protect your energy Remove activities and relationships that drain you Focus on what fills you up and brings genuine joy Forgive yourself for relationships that have run their course Midlife is a chance to reinvent friendships and lifestyle Try small changes: new routes, classes, trips, experiences Be bold and stop living by others' expectations You can choose a different path for the second half of life Feeling empty or ungrateful after success is common, not wrong Deeper conversations about "taboo" feelings are essential Use the "seven whys" exercise to find root causes of feelings Share this series with someone who might need this message Listeners are invited to leave a review and reflect on what they truly want Connect with Dr. Anna Marie: Email: annamarie@happywholeyou.com / info@HappyWholeYou.com Website: www.happywholeyou.com / https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou Personal Website: www.DrAnnaMarie.com Instagram: @happywholeyou Personal Instagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie Facebook: Happy Whole You LinkedIn: Anna Marie Frank Venmo: @happywholeyou

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive
Are you exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix? Do you find yourself more irritable with your children than you ever imagined possible? You might be experiencing parental burnout and you're far from alone. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Moïra Mikolajczak, one of the world's leading researchers on parental burnout, along with listener Kelly, who shares her raw, honest experience of burning out while raising her young daughter. Dr. Mikolajczak reveals groundbreaking research showing that parents in burnout have cortisol levels twice as high as other parents - even higher than people suffering from chronic pain or experiencing marital abuse. We explore why Western parents are at such high risk compared to parents in other cultures, what happens when the pressure to be a "perfect parent" collides with isolation and lack of support, and most importantly, what actually works for recovery. Kelly opens up about the moment she had a complete breakdown far from home, unable to even find her way to a train station, and the seven-month journey that followed. If you've ever felt like you're racing through life unable to stop, or wondered whether your exhaustion is affecting your children, this episode offers both validation and a path forward. Questions This Episode Will Answer What is parental burnout? Parental burnout is an exhaustion disorder where parents feel completely depleted by their parenting role. It includes four main symptoms: extreme exhaustion that doesn't improve with sleep, emotional distancing from your children, loss of pleasure in parenting, and a painful contrast between the parent you are now and the parent you wanted to be. What are the symptoms of parental burnout? The clearest warning signs are fatigue that persists despite adequate sleep and increased irritability, especially when you're with your children but not at work. Parents may experience mood swings, feel unable to recognize themselves, struggle with violent feelings toward their children, or completely lose confidence as a parent. How does parental burnout affect children? When parents reach the emotional distancing stage of burnout, it can lead to either neglect, violence (verbal or physical), or both. However, the impact on children can be reduced significantly if the other parent or a support person can compensate by providing consistent care and emotional presence. What causes parental burnout? Parental burnout results from a severe imbalance between parenting stressors and resources. Key risk factors include parental perfectionism, low emotional competence, poor co-parenting quality, inconsistent parenting practices, lack of leisure time, and the intense pressure in Western cultures to be a "perfect parent" while managing everything alone. How is parental burnout different from job burnout? While both involve exhaustion, they occur in different contexts. Job burnout centers on work exhaustion and distance from work beneficiaries, while parental burnout involves exhaustion from parenting and emotional distance from your children. You can have one without the other - in fact, many burned-out parents escape into their work. What does parental burnout feel like? Parents describe feeling like they've reached the end of their tether just thinking about what they need to do for their children. One parent in this episode describes racing forward like a heavy...
So many women are functioning in hidden burnout. Still showing up and serving. Still carrying responsibility. Still faithfully asking God for strength and trying to do the right things. And… still feeling depleted. This episode is really about one simple but honest question: why am I resting, but still exhausted? Not because we don't believe in rest. Not because we don't value it. But because what we're doing to rest often isn't touching the places where exhaustion actually lives. This isn't about doing more to rest. It's about understanding how rest actually works. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: [00:00] Why Trying to Rest Isn't the Same as Being Restored [01:00] Why Doesn't God's Promise of Rest Always Feel Accessible? [03:00] What Does It Mean to Remain in the Vine Instead of Striving for Rest? [05:00] Why Are We So Confused About What Kind of Rest We Actually Need? [06:00] How Physical Rest Restores the Body [08:00] How Mental and Emotional Rest Heal Inner Overload [10:00] Why Spiritual Rest Creates Foundational Peace [12:00] How Sensory, Creative, and Social Rest Restore the Soul [17:00] Why Understanding Your Rest Needs Changes Everything [19:00] How to Begin Receiving Rest Instead of Trying to Produce It Join me for the Virtual Rest Retreat in Feb 2026!

Two cataclysmic events have shaped Dr Lucy Hone’s relationship with grief, and resilience.
The Becoming You Show with Leah Roling: Inspire, Impact, & Influence Your Life
Most of our stress, frustration, and emotional exhaustion isn't coming from what's happening in our lives. It's coming from our fight with what's happening. In this episode, we explore one of the most common—yet costly—patterns we fall into: arguing with reality. Arguing with what already happened. Arguing with who someone is. Arguing with how we feel. And losing every time. You'll learn the three subtle ways we resist reality without realizing it, why that resistance quietly drains our energy and clarity, and what actually becomes possible when we stop fighting what is—without giving up our standards, our ambition, or our desire for more. This conversation is grounded, practical, and deeply human. It's not about spiritual bypassing or passive acceptance. It's about reclaiming your power by ending the internal war that keeps you stuck. In this episode, you'll learn: The three ways we argue with reality—and why each one creates unnecessary suffering How resistance shows up in relationships, leadership, and emotional overwhelm The difference between acceptance and resignation (and why confusing the two keeps you powerless) Two simple shifts that restore clarity, calm, and agency in real time How acceptance can actually become the starting point for effective action and growth If you've been feeling emotionally tired, reactive, or stuck in the same loops, this episode will help you see exactly where your energy is going—and how to bring it back online.
18-year-olds wake up fresh because their repair system still works. This episode shows you how stem cell decline quietly drives fatigue, inflammation, and faster aging, and how fasting can reactivate your body's natural ability to repair itself without expensive stem cell procedures. Grab a generous 30% discount on any STEMREGEN product with: http://stemregen.co/dave30 Dave Asprey sits down with Christian Drapeau, a neuroscientist trained at McGill University and a leading researcher in stem cell science. Christian pioneered a therapeutic approach called Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization, authored the bestselling book Cracking the Stem Cell Code, and developed the concept of stem cell enhancement. He is the Founder and CSO of STEMREGEN, where his work focuses on helping the body release and use its own stem cells more effectively. Together, they break down why many injected stem cells never survive long enough to help, how the lungs trap a large percentage of IV stem cells, and why releasing your own stem cells into arterial circulation changes the outcome. They explore stem cell decline as a core driver of aging, tissue degeneration, and chronic inflammation, and explain why fasting is currently the only intervention shown to rejuvenate stem cells through autophagy. You'll hear why a three-day fast has measurable effects on bone marrow aging, how stem cells act as signaling molecules that coordinate repair across the body, and why mitochondria play a massive and underappreciated role in stem cell renewal and tissue regeneration. The conversation also covers scar tissue, fibrosis, recovery from injury, and why healing quality matters just as much as healing speed. You'll Learn: • Why stem cell decline, not simple wear and tear, drives aging • How fasting supports stem cell rejuvenation through autophagy • Why many injected stem cells die in the lungs before helping tissue • How releasing your own stem cells differs from IV stem cell therapy • Why mitochondria are central to stem cell function and repair • How scar tissue and fibrosis form when repair fails • Why recovery quality determines long-term resilience and longevity Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Today's episode is about covert narcissism and the deep exhaustion that comes from always being the one who tries in the relationship. If you're living with or recovering from a covert narcissist, you may recognize this immediately: you're the one who explains, softens, repairs, revisits conversations, manages emotions, and keeps hoping that if you say it just right, things will finally change. Instead, you end up emotionally depleted, confused, and wondering why nothing ever sticks. In this community chat, I'm joined by Laura and Jay, who share what it's like to live inside this dynamic—where effort is constant, responsibility is one-sided, and the emotional labor never ends. We talk about how this pattern develops, why it's so hard to stop trying, and how many survivors reach a moment of clarity when they realize this isn't normal relationship struggle—it's covert narcissistic abuse. If you feel worn down from over-explaining, over-accommodating, and carrying the emotional weight of the relationship alone, this episode will help you put words to what you're experiencing.

A new year brings mixed emotions. Relief. Gratitude. Exhaustion. Hope. As we stepped into this season, Pastor Nicole offers a simpler invitation: one more year. And with that invitation, we will push back against hustle culture and spiritual performance. It resists the idea that January 1st demands perfection. One more year reminds us that survival counts.

Have you ever noticed how easy it can be to find a reason to eat?A great day.A hard day.Stress.Celebration.Exhaustion.In this episode, we explore emotional eating, stress eating, and what I call the “deserve it” mentality. Whether we realize it or not, this is quietly undermining our relationship with food and long-term resultsUsing real client examples, we explore how the same mindset shows up whether you're celebrating success or struggling with stress … and why both lead to the same outcome when food becomes the reward, relief, or escape.This episode isn't about restriction or shame.It's about awareness, honesty, and choosing a better framework — one that supports real freedom instead of keeping you stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restarting.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:What the “deserve it” mentality really is (and why it's so common)How “deserve it” shows up during both success and stressWhy earning food through exercise, dieting, or emotional suffering backfiresWhy “deserve” vs “don't deserve” is a trap either wayWhat it looks like to move from a deserve-it mindset to a freedom mindsetWHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR:Anyone who eats “because they deserve it” — for good days or bad onesPeople who feel stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restartingThose who use food to cope with stress, overwhelm, or emotionsAnyone working to rebuild a healthier relationship with foodThose who want freedom, not food rulesThis is the kind of work I do with my clients — learning how to unlink food and emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and build a healthier, more honest relationship with food.If you want support doing this work instead of trying to white-knuckle it alone, you can learn more about working together by shooting me an email at: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.comJoin Corey's Email Fam: https://LoseFatList.comWant To Know More About Coaching: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com
The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
A special release in honor of National Women Physicians Day 2026. Today's conversation is an invitation to notice overfunctioning with compassion. Overfunctioning may have helped you succeed in medicine but it often costs you intimacy, energy, and connection. Overfunctioning and underfunctioning, as well as the resentment that follows, are a familiar relational dynamic. Overfunctioning is not a personality flaw; It's a role we step into. It is shaped by our training, context, and culture. When we pause, rest, and allow space, we usually find that the world doesn't fall apart. Others step forward in their own time and way. Even when it feels unfamiliar, this shift can offer clarity, growth, and alignment with how we truly want to live and lead. Pearls of Wisdom • Overfunctioning is a relational role developed in response to internal and external expectations. • When one person consistently does more, others often do less. Over time, the systems adapted this way. • Resentment is information. It often signals over-capacity. • Doing less can be an act of love that allows systems and relationships to reorganize. • When we stop stabilizing what's falling around us and tend to our own nervous systems first, is when change begins. Reflection Questions Where in your life are you doing more than your share simply because you are capable? What feels most uncomfortable about stepping back? What might happen if you rest or stop managing? What would love do this week in your relationships or at work? Join me for coaching or a retreat to explore how to change the overfunctioning habit. www.jessiemahoneymd.com In Mindful Love Small Group Coaching we specifically look at overfunctioining in the context of our intimate relationships. In Leading from the Heart and Transition Well Small Group Coaching we work on it in the context of career and life pivots and leadership. At retreats and advanced coaching, we work on moving beyond it in every realm of your life. If you are interested in having me speak to your group on overfunctioning or any of the topics discussed in this podcast, find out more here www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking or email me at jessie@jessiemahoneymd.com.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the exhausting pattern of constantly scanning for safety—checking for signs of rejection, withdrawal, or disconnection—in our relationships, work, and daily life.I share the story of how I internalized this hypervigilance from a loving but emotionally inconsistent parent, and how it shaped my nervous system and sense of safety. This episode is not about blaming—it's about naming the root and finding the path home.If you've ever found yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop, reading too deeply into someone's silence, or feeling numb when life is actually going well... you're not alone. This is survival mode—and there is another way.You'll hear how I've begun softening this pattern through nervous system work, how it shows up in business and relationships, and what it actually means to stop living from the outside in.This is your reminder: you're not too sensitive or broken. You've adapted. And now you get to choose something new.https://marinayt.com/the-unburdened-heart Connect with me:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rootedFollow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/marina.y.t Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“It's not about low self-worth.

In this powerful testimonial episode, Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia share the story of a woman who had reached a breaking point. She was exhausted, emotionally numb, unable to sleep, and felt disconnected from joy and meaning in her life. After trying conventional medications without relief, she turned to holistic care and experienced profound changes in a short period of time. Dr. Carling and Alicia explore what this story reveals about the true roots of what is often labeled as "depression." They discuss how emotional fatigue, nutrient depletion, lack of sleep, and chronic stress can drain the body's ability to produce healthy brain chemistry. Dr. Carling explains how nutrition, acupuncture, rest, and compassionate care help the body and mind heal together. This episode is a reminder that healing is possible when we treat the whole person and address the underlying mechanisms, not just the symptoms. In this episode: A moving testimonial of recovery from emotional numbness and exhaustion Why depression is often rooted in fatigue, sleep deprivation, and nutrient deficiencies How medications can flatten emotions instead of restoring joy The role of fats, protein, minerals, and whole foods in brain health Why acupuncture helps rewire the brain and support emotional balance How small lifestyle changes can restore energy and resilience The importance of being seen, heard, and cared for in the healing process For full show notes, resources and links head to: https://vitalhealthcda.com/podcasts/ The Vital Health for You Podcast is for everyone.

Are you resting but still exhausted? In this episode, I talk about the kind of burnout that doesn't go away with sleep, vacations, or time off, the hidden exhaustion so many women carry while still functioning, serving, and showing up. Learn why surface-level rest doesn't heal deep depletion, how faith and exhaustion often get tangled together, and how God responds to burnout with care instead of condemnation. This episode will help you recognize hidden burnout, understand why what you're doing to rest isn't working, and begin responding to exhaustion with wisdom, compassion, and truth.
