How often do you ignore that quiet knowing inside you, only to realize later it was right all along? That inner guidance—the signals your body and nervous system send—is smarter than you think. Ignoring it keeps you stuck making decisions with incomplete information, second-guessing yourself, and relying on logic alone.   In this episode, we dive into why your gut processes information faster, deeper, and more accurately than your conscious mind. We unpack the science behind your "gut brain," explain why intuition is informational rather than emotional, and show you how to distinguish between anxiety and authentic gut guidance. This isn't about choosing feelings over facts, but about reclaiming the part of you that already knows what's right.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/78   Ready to make this fall different?

A message from "The Gospel of Matthew" a sermon series from Pastor Jimmy Holbrook.

This the quick update from PFC Irvine.     

Deseret News Reporter Lois Collins joined Greg and Holly today to talk about how Long COVID is impacting kids. Those cheering for the end of the pandemic may need to save their mirth, Lois Collins shares, as Long COVID remains a widespread problem among the populations most vulnerable. Exhaustion and POTS are just some of the side effects of this terrible affliction.  

Hey humans, we're continuing our #WorkWell series, all about mental health in the workplace. In this episode, we're getting real about the difference between just being tired and being truly, deeply depleted.  I know that feeling because I was just there myself. After we recorded our last episode on burnout, I felt almost out of my body, completely depleted and neurologically dysregulated. The only thing that could help was true rest and disconnection. So for this week, I have an exercise for you. It's an ask to take just five minutes every day to journal and really tune in to how you're feeling. Ask yourself: Do you feel recharged after a break? What do you actually enjoy right now? How often are you feeling irritable or numb? The goal isn't to fix it immediately, but just to recognize where you are. It's about figuring out if you're just tired, or if you've crossed over into depletion. Take this week to just check in with yourself.  I hope you'll join me on this journey to work well. With light and love, we'll see you soon. Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

How many promises have you broken to yourself this week? Every time you say you'll take a lunch break and don't, or agree to something you didn't want to do, you chip away at your self-trust. And when that trust is shaky, it gets harder to make bold decisions, hold boundaries, or believe in your own judgment. Self-trust is the operating system everything else runs on. Without it, things fall apart.   This week, we're launching our trust series by getting to the root of it all. What is trust, really? And why does self-trust matter more than you might think? It's not built through grand gestures or broken only by major betrayals. It's shaped in small, everyday moments when your actions align with your intentions, when you follow through on what you say, and when you show up the way you meant to.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/77   Ready to make this fall different?

If you've ever told yourself, “If I could drink in moderation, I would do it all the time,” this episode is going to feel like I've been eavesdropping on your thoughts. Maybe you've tried switching to beer, only drinking on weekends, skipping alcohol at home, or limiting yourself to “special occasions.” And for a short time, it works—until the rules bend, the “just one more” slips in, and you're right back where you started. The truth is, you're not weak. You're not broken. Your brain is doing exactly what it's wired to do: protect what feels familiar, even when it's holding you back. In this powerful episode, I'm breaking down: Why your brain keeps selling you on moderation—even when you know it doesn't work The hidden mental, emotional, and physical costs of the moderation loop The shift you need to make if you truly want freedom from alcohol We'll pull apart the survival brain's “safe compromise” pitch, expose the decision fatigue moderation causes, and talk about how it chips away at your self-trust over time. You'll see why moderation isn't about control—it's about delay—and how it quietly steals your energy, your confidence, and the life you want to live. By the end, you'll have a new target: freedom, not control. You'll learn how one clear decision can remove hundreds of tiny exhausting ones, and how to focus on what you're gaining—not what you're giving up. If you're ready to stop starting over and step into real freedom, I can help. Book your free clarity call today at addictionunlimited.com/call. Together, we'll create a plan that works—without willpower games or endless “rules.” Because you deserve more than managing your drinking. You deserve to be free.

What if burnout isn't the result of too much work, but of the wrong kind of recovery? I used to believe sleep was the magic fix. But I've learned that real energy doesn't come from doing nothing, it comes from doing the right things. In this episode, we'll explore the hidden forces that quietly drain you, and the unlikely rituals that truly refill your tank. Energy isn't a battery you slowly drain, it's a fire you can learn to spark, anytime, anywhere. And when you master that, burnout stops being a dead end… and turns into the doorway to your next chapter, tune in for more.  

In this episode, you explore the often-overlooked topic of spiritual exhaustion.

She breaks down common signs of spiritual burnout, from loss of motivation to feeling resentful toward rituals that once brought you joy. You'll learn how to recognize when you're pushing yourself too hard in your practice, how to give yourself permission to step back, and why rest and recalibration are essential parts of a sustainable spiritual path. Morgan also offers practical suggestions for reconnecting with your magick on your own terms, so it feels nourishing rather than depleting.

If you've ever sat down for a break—only to feel anxious, unproductive, or even ashamed—you'll want to lean in to this honest, grace-filled conversation.

Alex (SO/SP 6w7 693) joins us for a deep dive into the often-misunderstood inner terrain of the Social Six — where loyalty is a vigilant scan for danger, and the mind's ceaseless activity is less about worry than about building a livable world. From the outset, Alex speaks to the dissonance of being typed as a Six, resisting the caricatures and one-dimensional projections that cling to the type. We explore the deep patterns of fear and mental over-responsibility that began in childhood: a sense of being a small, visible target in a world ruled by unseen authority. Alex opens up about health anxiety, asexuality, and the complexity of labels — both how they can offer coherence and how they can confine. Alex also brings in the character of Zuko from our shared favorite show Avatar: The Last Airbender as a mirror of his own journey — from rigid loyalty to false authority, through crisis, to a reclamation of inner truth. Together, we explore how Six navigates the labyrinth of mental gates that must be opened before love can be received, and how trust — in the self, in others, in life — is painstakingly built, tested, and sometimes, finally, allowed.LINKSLearn at The Enneagram Schoolhttps://theenneagramschool.com/Intro Coursehttps://www.theenneagramschool.com/intro-enneagram-courseGet Typedhttps://www.enneagrammer.com/Sinsomnia Podcast (Dreams)https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sinsomnia/id1684154994House of Enneagramhttps://www.youtube.com/@houseofenneagram TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Intro02:31 - Participating in Enneagram communities, creating memes while waiting for typing results, reacting to being type 6, unpacking the projections onto 6, "finding a mental home"12:27 - Being a 'cog in the machine', erasing individualization, a "thought-terminating cliche", having mental tweezers 17:10 - Childhood memories, fearing authority larger than parents, fear/anxiety of being a "sitting duck" to external powers23:36 - "Going haywire", the vetting mechanism of 6, fearing and joking about death29:01 - Ketamine treatment, expanding perspectives assisting with anxiety, limited "mental real estate", social narratives and afterthoughts, an unreliable narrator38:09 - 6s not taking responsibility for personal perspectives, pinging off of others, judgment off of 'needing others', self-honoring and life-giving, self-sufficiency narratives46:03 - 6s archetypal connection to labels, being asexual, attention to collective ideals/gaze52:30 - self-deprecation being limiting, therapy, social rejection, deconstructing 'what I deserve to have/want", identifying the super-ego59:11 - not making progress, fear of social vulnerability, 6's inner splitting, exploring the underdog position01:06:59 - Avatar the Last Airbender; relating to the Zuko character arch, shedding the false authorities, enacting personal will, changing inherited reality perspectives01:16:22 - 'vetting' self-love, matrix of mental gates, a core need to have 'right'...

Hello to you, Mary D., listening in Coupeville, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.A longtime podcast listener and Substack subscriber suggested I read The Serviceberry - Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer. The author invites us to consider the gift of reciprocity between Nature and ourselves, ourselves and the rest of Creation. Neither the size of the gift nor the nature of the gift is what matters but the spirit of giving. I have a splendid pie cherry tree in my yard which could be picked to make splendid cherry pies; but this tree I leave for the birds, squirrels and deer.Recently, my friend and neighbor celebrated her 85th birthday. I know I could have bought her some delicious, made-fresh-daily scones from Jupiter Coffee; but I know she favors a loaf of bread studded with raisins and caraway seed, bound together with full fat buttermilk and other ingredients that we call Spotted Dick Dog Bread. To her gift I added a small jar of cherry preserves I received in trade from another elderly neighbor who was canning the fruitful gift of the Rainier Cherry tree in his front yard.We did things like this during the COIVD epidemic. Remember? In many ways we're right back in an epidemic; but the dangers are not germs so much as they are anxiety, confusion, bewilderment, loneliness, and exhaustion. We wonder who to trust, who or what will be taken away, what will happen during the night, and, when will all this end?I don't have the answers, except to say I doubt a one of us saw COVID as a dress rehearsal although the perspective of hindsight tells me it was.TIP: Let's get back to the giving we practiced then because, as you well know, giving is always in style. It keeps us bound together - like “braiding with sweetgrass.”Thank you for listening!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

A lot of times, we think the antidote to burnout is a nap or a vacay (which, no shade, we love a vacay) but a lot of us are struggling with burnout from our own—often *subconscious*—repeated behaviors like perfectionism, overachieving (in an attempt to feel worthy or valid), people pleasing, or not setting appropriate boundaries.

kim's story is a full-body exhale for anyone who still thinks carbs = chaos. from fearing fruit to fueling with sourdough and building actual muscle definition, she learned the hard way what most women never get taught: carbs aren't earned, they're essential. years of diet culture made her world smaller—and how lifting, smart fueling, and brick-by-brick consistency rebuilt her body and her mindset.take one minute and voice note how you talk about your body—then listen back. what version of you is driving?this episode dives into the psychological load of dieting—the guilt, the fear of more food, the way restriction becomes your identity. kim opens up about the mindset spiral that came with under-eating and the physical transformation that followed when she finally gave herself permission to fuel, train, and enjoy the process.what if the fat‑loss plateau, the cranky afternoon slump, and that nagging scale‑stall all share one root cause—chronic under‑fueling? in this episode i sit down with kim, a former carb‑phobe (who has type‑1 diabetes) turned diet fatigue into a deadlift party. we rip apart the rules that kept her living on chicken, broccoli, and boredom, and show you how timing carbs around strength sessions can flatten insulin spikes, spike confidence, and finally shrink measurements you care about—jeans, not kilos.we unpack why the scale sabotages motivation, how progress photos can freeze you in perfectionism, and why “stage‑lean” bodies are a metabolic bait‑and‑switch. expect real talk, eye‑roll moments at diet culture, and practical swaps you can steal today: think pre‑lift toast + honey, post‑lift rice + chicken, plus a mindset reframe that turns missed workouts into single bricks—not house fires.if you've ever counted grapes, feared fruit, or apologised for bread, this convo is your permission slip. kim and i dissect the myths that made her world smaller—“carbs store fat,” “keto cures everything,” “cardio is queen”—and rebuild a plan that lets her travel greece guilt‑free, lift heavier every quarter, and drop insulin units while eating sourdough. we cover the brick‑by‑brick method to sustainable recomposition, stress as the silent macro killing progress, and why pumping iron trumps pounding treadmills for anyone over thirty‑five who's tired of feeling soft.win # 1: set a five‑minute timer and list yesterday's meals—notice how low the carbs actually were.win #2: grab a pen and list every food you've felt guilty for eating—then draw a line through the carb-based ones.win #3: after listening, choose one lift you'll measure this week instead of your weight—tag me with the number.want to share your own carb‑comeback story—or need help writing yours? dm me or hit the consult link below. let's chat.find me @transformxruby on instagramapply for a free consult:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_linkdirect link to dm me on ig: https://ig.me/m/transformxruby

SummaryThis is a sermon every discouraged believer needs to hear. Drawing from the final chapter of Habakkuk, this is a word for every weary warrior in ministry. Even when the fig tree doesn't blossom, when everything's failing, and joy feels like a distant memory — there is still a reason to rejoice.From Winston Churchill's resilience to the pressure of modern ministry, this message walks through the power of gratitude, obedience, and spiritual deliverance as keys to finding joy again. You'll laugh, reflect, and most importantly — be renewed in God's joy.Chapters00:00 - Intro: Next Gen Friday and Churchill's Humor01:55 - The Power of the Happy Warrior04:22 - Habakkuk's Complaint & Collapse of Israel06:40 - Our World Today: A Modern Parallel08:35 - When Ministry Feels Hopeless10:27 - The Exhaustion of Overwork12:43 - When Your Prayers Sound Like Habakkuk14:26 - The Curse of Comparison15:38 - The Pressure of the Hourglass17:08 - Where's the Joy At?20:28 - The Command to Rejoice Always22:04 - Gratitude Sparks Joy25:22 - Obedience Unlocks Joy27:41 - When You Need Deliverance30:32 - Performance Mentality and Joy Thieves32:50 - Becoming a True Happy Warrior34:11 - Joy Gives You Strength36:00 - The Neuroscience of Joy38:17 - What If Joy Is the Secret to Revival?40:07 - Let God Be God — Rejoice41:23 - The Final Word: Draw from the Wells of SalvationShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

You know the feeling. You're mid-pitch, and you watch your prospect's eyes glaze over—their mind somewhere else entirely. It's exhausting, demoralizing, and it's killing your close rate. But what if you didn't have to push so hard? What if you could create the kind of pull where prospects actually leaned in and said, “How do I get started?” In this episode of the Sales Gravy podcast, high-performance coach Kristin Andree shared her perspective: "If we put ourselves out there and let people know who we're looking for and be excited about it and excited about helping them, we attract them." The difference between top performers and everyone else isn't talent—it's their prospecting approach. Elite salespeople don't convince prospects to buy. They make prospects want to buy.  The Exhaustion of the Old Way If you feel like you're always running uphill, you're not imagining it. Most salespeople are stuck in a reactive mindset—constantly pursuing leads who haven't shown real interest. This is where the exhaustion creeps in. You follow up relentlessly, only to get ignored. You worry about being too aggressive. Your outreach starts to feel desperate instead of helpful. Prospects can feel that energy shift. When you're trying to close anyone, instead of helping the right ones, you come across as transactional. You sound like a pitch, not a person. You become just another vendor fighting for attention and pricing leverage. 4 Ways to Make Prospects Come to You Attraction in sales is about relevance and resonance. You stop pushing your solution on people who don't care and start showing up in a way that makes the right people take notice. That's the core of value-based selling. It's not about feature dumps, aggressive closes, or chasing "maybe" prospects. It's about clearly communicating how your solution solves urgent problems, accelerates outcomes, and makes your buyer's life easier or better. When done right, it flips the dynamic entirely. You move from interrupting to inviting. From being just another sales rep to someone your prospect actually wants to hear from. Here's how to put that into action: 1. Lead With Curiosity, Not Pitch Decks Before you ever think about pitching, dedicate time to genuinely understanding your prospect's world. Research their industry, their company, and their specific role.  Ask insightful, open-ended questions that uncover their true challenges, not just surface-level issues. Listen for the underlying pain, unspoken frustrations, and desired outcomes. When you truly listen, you gather the knowledge to position yourself not as a salesperson, but as an informed resource. Imagine a software sales rep for a project management tool. Instead of immediately launching into features, they might start by asking, "What are the biggest bottlenecks your team faces in project delivery right now?" As the prospect describes disorganized communication or missed deadlines, the rep then offers to share a related article. This positions the rep as knowledgeable and helpful, building rapport and trust before ever mentioning their product. 2. Use Content as a Sales Magnet You don't need to be an influencer to build credibility. Every rep can become a curator of insight—and that's often more valuable than always trying to create original content. Share relevant articles: Find industry news, research, or thought leadership pieces that address your ideal client's pain points and share them on LinkedIn with your own insightful commentary. LinkedIn Posts & Videos: Craft short, valuable posts offering tips, insights, or asking thought-provoking questions related to your niche. Short video tips addressing common challenges can be very impactful. Intelligent Commentary: Engage thoughtfully in industry discussions online. Your informed perspective demonstrates expertise and attracts like-minded professionals. Every time you share something helpful, you reinforce your value.
