Podcasts about exhaustion

Exhaustion is not proof that you are productive.Sometimes it is proof that your recovery is broken.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why founders need to stop glorifying sleep deprivation and start treating recovery as part of high-level performance.A tired brain does not make better decisions because you worked more hours.Eventually, lack of recovery affects focus, judgment, patience, and execution.That becomes a business problem.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why extreme exhaustion can reduce the quality of your decisions• How low-value late-night work can steal energy from higher-value priorities• Why consistent recovery supports clearer thinking and longer-term performance• How protecting your health can strengthen both productivity and business longevityThe truth is simple:You cannot build at your highest level if your mind is constantly running on empty.Protect your sleep.Create stronger recovery habits.Stop measuring commitment by how exhausted you feel.The goal is not to stay awake the longest.The goal is to show up sharp enough to make the decisions that actually move the business forward.Rest the body.Protect the brain.Execute with clarity.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

What if the reason you're not getting results after 40 isn't that you're doing too little—but that you're doing too much of the wrong things?More HIIT. More restriction. More extreme plans. More pressure to push harder.In this episode, Brian explains why that approach often leaves adults over 40 feeling exhausted, frustrated, and no closer to results they can maintain. He breaks down a smarter path built around three priorities: strength first, precision instead of guesswork, and enough recovery to let your body adapt.You'll discover why a successful plan after 40 should help you:• Lose fat without sacrificing valuable muscle• Build strength that supports your metabolism and longevity• Match your nutrition to your body and goals• Recover well enough to make consistent progress• Create results you can keep—not another temporary transformationThe goal isn't to punish your body into becoming smaller. It's to build a stronger, healthier, more capable body for the decades ahead.Stop chasing exhaustion. Start building strength.

ADHD burnout is different from ordinary burnout — it's the cumulative cost of constantly compensating for a brain the world wasn't built around, and "just rest more" doesn't fix it.DrB explains why ADHD burnout hits differently, how it shows up before you even realize you're in it, and the structural skills that actually prevent it.Key Points CoveredWhy ADHD burnout is different from general workplace burnout — the "ADHD tax" of constant compensationWhy high performers are often the most vulnerable to a sudden, dramatic crashWhy rest alone doesn't fix ADHD burnoutReal-life signs: losing skills temporarily, getting sick after big projects, a vacation that doesn't helpFive skills for prevention: proactive recovery time, personal early-warning signs, unmasked spaces, protected downtime, and requesting accommodations earlyLinks Mentioneddrbarbaracohen.com — All episodes + show resourcesIt Was Never You Masterclass – More Than ADHD Coaching, October 20, 2026, 10 am – 2 pm pacific time + VIP hour:  https://itwasneveryoumasterclass.com/  (registration link will be active by Sept. 30th; currently set to previous old date)Get Sh*t Done (GSD) Program Information – 9-month programhttps://www.drbarbaracohen.com/gsdprogramGrant assistance page for help with funding for GSD program:https://www.drbarbaracohen.com/financial-assistance The Transformation Club (TTC) – if time or money commitments have been holding you back - the affordable membership program for Executive Function skills development:https://www.drbarbaracohen.com/ttcprogram Free PDF - 13 Signs Weak Executive Functioning Is Holding You Back:https://www.drbarbaracohen.com/Executive-Function Follow me on Dr B Facebook Page and enjoy live videos and moreFollow me on Instagram and enjoy relevant resourcesTo Help The Show:Subscribe at your favorite listening spot, and my podcast player has social media links (icons) in the episode player so you can share episodes you love with others!Please rate the show and leave a thoughtful review on iTunes so I know you're benefiting from the episodes.

SummaryDom Beveridge, Founder of 20for20, returns to Modern Multifamily for the eighth edition of his annual white paper, built on 20 structured, open-ended interviews with multifamily executives. Host Mike Wolber, Chief Sales Officer at Apartment List, digs into the word that kept surfacing this year (exhaustion), why a balance sheet industry finds three years of P&L focus so draining, and how centralization now looks settled for owner operators while third party managers still depend on their owners to roll it out.The conversation then turns to tech bloat: community managers with more than 40 logins, the third of operators now running tech freezes and shedding applications, the VC funding model that quietly drives over-buying, and the 6 companies Dom calls AI first, who are configuring their organizations around automation instead of buying widgets. Dom closes with his early read on 2027: a possible peak in the proptech VC wave and a push to simplify the resident application process.

Black fatigue is more than being tired. It is the cumulative, intergenerational toll of navigating racism over time—and that stress can affect the body, mind, relationships, and sense of belonging.In this episode of DEI After 5, Sacha Thompson is joined by Dr. Mary Frances Winters and Marisha Winters-Reese for a powerful conversation about Black fatigue, the physiological effects of racism, and what healing can look like.Together, they unpack the concept of “weathering,” the chronic stress created by repeated exposure to racism and discrimination, and how those experiences can accumulate over time. They also explore the difference between belonging in community and belonging at work, why respect can mean different things to different people, and the practices that can help restore capacity and reclaim humanity.

Is cortisol really the enemy? Or have we completely misunderstood this essential hormone? In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Erin Kinney breaks down what healthy cortisol should actually look like, how chronic stress can leave us stuck in a cycle of exhaustion, and the surprising signs that your nervous system may be dysregulated. We share our own burnout experiences as we explore the connections between cortisol, blood sugar, thyroid function, perimenopause, caffeine, intermittent fasting, and even fasted workouts. Dr. Kinney also reveals why multitasking, emotional suppression, and stealth infections can keep the body in stress mode—and what we can do to strengthen our “relax muscle.” If you've ever felt exhausted but wired, relied on caffeine to get through the day, or wondered why your body isn't responding to all the “healthy” things you're doing, this episode is a must-listen!Dr. Erin Kinney is a Naturopathic Doctor, speaker, and podcast host who helps stressed-out patients balance their hormones, improve their mood, and restore their energy. She runs a private practice in Annapolis, Maryland, specializing in chronic health conditions related to hormonal and nervous-system imbalances, and has guided more than 7,000 people back to vibrant health through her clinic, workshops, retreats, and online programs.

Motherhood is often described as one of life's greatest joys—and it is. But for many women, it can also become one of life's darkest and most disorienting seasons. Exhaustion, isolation, hormonal changes, overwhelming responsibility, and the quiet fear that “I'm not the mother I'm supposed to be” can converge into something much deeper than ordinary discouragement.For some, that darkness has a name: postpartum depression. For others, depression arrives later and lingers silently behind the daily responsibilities of raising a family. Unfortunately, Christian mothers can also feel an additional burden—the fear that admitting they are struggling somehow means they are failing spiritually.So, how should the church understand depression in motherhood? How do we take seriously the relationship between the body and the soul without surrendering our confidence in the sufficiency of Scripture? And how can husbands, pastors, friends, and churches recognize suffering and respond with truth, compassion, and genuine biblical hope?Today, I'm joined by Christine Chappell, author of Midnight Mercies: Walking with God Through Depression in Motherhood, for an important conversation about postpartum depression, the pressures mothers quietly carry, and how the gospel meets women in some of their darkest moments—not merely with explanations, but with the enduring hope of Christ.Follow the links to get Christine Chappell's book Midnight Mercies: Walking with God Through Depression in Motherhood and upcoming devotional Crying Out in Faith.Visit: https://www.lfbi.org

We take the keys away from older drivers—why not older doctors? Nearly 3 in 4 Americans battling this health problem—fatigue! What super-agers over 100 have in common—a hyper-vigilant immune system guarding against cancers and infections. How does “anabolic resistance” contribute to frailty—and what to do about it? Recurrent bouts of “burning sensations” on the face—diagnosis please?

Matt Toms on Tourette Syndrome, Autism, ADHD and the Exhaustion of MaskingWhat happens when your disability is invisible, your capacity changes from one day to the next, and the people around you assume you're simply being rude, lazy or difficult?Matt Toms joins Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin on ListenABLE for an open conversation about living with Tourette syndrome, autism and ADHD, and what it has taken for him to finally stop hiding his disability.For most of Matt's life, masking helped him fit in. He learnt to suppress his Tourette's tics and hide what was happening internally so he could socialise, work, compete in surf lifesaving and appear as though everything was fine.But masking came at a cost.Matt explains how suppressing his tics could leave him exhausted, overwhelmed and experiencing more explosive episodes once he returned to the safety of home. He describes the difficult reality of having an invisible disability where, on one day, he might be capable of physical work or competing in sport, while on another he can struggle to get himself a glass of water.From surf lifesaving and neurodivergence to employment, support workers, dating, family and learning to unmask, this episode is a reminder that disability doesn't always look the way people expect it to.Follow & ConnectMatt Toms – GuestMatt joins ListenABLE to share his lived experience with Tourette syndrome, autism and ADHD, including masking, employment, relationships, support and learning to embrace his disability.Matt's social link to be added once confirmed.Dylan Alcott – HostInstagram: @dylanalcottAngus O'Loughlin – HostInstagram: @angus_oloughlinListenABLE PodcastInstagram: @listenable_podcastListen on Apple Podcasts: ListenABLE on Apple PodcastsListenABLE is recorded and produced in partnership with SESSION in PROGRESS, Melbourne's video podcast studio and production team.Website: SESSION in PROGRESSInstagram: @session.in.progressProductionIn this episode• Living with Tourette syndrome, autism and ADHD• What Tourette's tics can actually look like• Why tics can sometimes be mistaken for rude or inappropriate behaviour• Autism and Tourette syndrome masking• The physical and emotional exhaustion caused by suppressing tics• Invisible disability and fluctuating capacity• Spoon theory and managing limited energy• Disability, burnout and independence• Accessing support workers and the NDIS• The impact of disability on partners and family• Autism and sensory overload in construction and trades• Disability inclusion in the workplace• Dating and relationships with Tourette syndrome• Learning to disclose an invisible disability• Becoming comfortable and proud identifying as disabled• Why disability awareness and representation matterTourette syndrome, Tourette's syndrome, Tourette's tics, autism, autism in adults, ADHD, autism and ADHD, autism and Tourette syndrome, neurodivergence, neurodivergent adults, invisible disability, hidden disability, disability masking, autistic masking, suppressing tics, disability burnout, autistic burnout, sensory overload, spoon theory, fluctuating capacity, NDIS, disability support workers, disability employment, autism in the workplace, disability in construction, dating with disability, relationships and disability, disability acceptance, disability advocacy.

You drive home after a long shift and see someone standing at the roadside. It turns out to be a sign. Chinelle Miller had that happen more than once, and her first thought was that something was wrong with her. She is a physician and multidisciplinary artist. This episode is based on her article "Why seeing things doesn't mean you're losing your mind," published on KevinMD. You will hear what she found when she looked into it, and how the same experience shows up for other people she talked to. She describes what she was told when she raised it with her own therapist, why the same thing can show up with grief, and how she caught herself trying to pathologize her own experience. She explains why she thinks diagnostic terms have become buzzwords, the questions she tells people to ask themselves, and when the answer is to stop researching and ask someone. Stay to the end for her case that the expert, not the internet, is who gets to say it's normal. This episode is brought to you by ModMed. Welcome to your new AI-Powered Practice from ModMed.

Les jeunes actifs trentenaires sont souvent dynamiques, motivés et épuisés. Deux récentes études montrent en effet que les jeunes actifs se plaignent de plus en plus de fatigue et demandent des solutions. Certes, cet état n’est pas grave en soi, mais il révèle des déséquilibres de l’organisme qui n’arrivent pas à répondre aux exigences que l’on attend de lui, mais aussi, il peut influer sur la vie relationnelle et professionnelle en créant alors d’autres déséquilibres. Un médecin américain, Frank Lipman a examiné en détail les différentes causes de fatigue et propose d’y remédier dans son récent ouvrage intitulé Revive. Car la fatigue est multifactorielle, elle relève du mode de vie moderne avec ses contraintes et ses incohérences. Semaine 1 : Rééquilibrer son alimentation Ce médecin propose d’amorcer des changements de vie dans quatre domaines en un mois, chaque semaine étant consacrée à une thématique. La première concerne l’alimentation, sans surprise. Les grandes lignes de cette approche consistent à réduire au maximum les produits industriels, limiter gluten et laitages, miser sur une alimentation riche en fruits, légumes frais, céréales complètes, avec la réintégration du petit déjeuner. Semaine 2 : Pratiquer une activité physique régulière La seconde semaine est consacrée à l’activité. Le docteur Lipman préconise une activité physique modérée et régulière et livre des astuces intéressantes sur la façon d’organiser ses efforts physiques. Il est question par exemple lors d’exercices physiques d’alterner une minute de sport intense à trois de repos, une alternance selon lui bénéfique. Semaine 3 : Apprendre à se détendre vraiment Troisième semaine : apprendre à se détendre. On imagine à tort se relaxer devant la télé, sa console ou un surf sur le web, mais il n’en est rien. Se détendre vraiment, ça s’apprend dans un monde de sollicitation permanente à l’activité et à la surconsommation tant matérielle qu’émotionnelle. Yoga, technique de respiration, massage et croquette à l’ancienne sont au programme. Plutôt que l’écran donc. Semaine 4 : Revisiter son environnement privé Enfin, la dernière semaine consiste à revisiter son environnement privé. Qu’il s’agisse des cosmétiques que nous utilisons, l’usage de nos machines à écran, les produits de nettoyage de notre maison, bref, nous sommes invités à un véritable inventaire intérieur, sans compter une invitation à fréquenter davantage les espaces verts. Ancrer les nouvelles habitudes Tous ces changements prennent de l’énergie, il faut s’y préparer, y réfléchir et consacrer du temps. C’est donc une question de choix. Après ce mois de changement, il importe de conserver ses nouvelles habitudes, de les ancrer dans son quotidien et d’être patient, car le tonus peut se faire attendre. Consulter un naturopathe Rien n’empêche une consultation chez un naturopathe pour faire le point et se complémenter en nutriments et vitamines si nécessaires. Pour en savoir plus sur ce programme, vous pouvez vous procurer l’ouvrage du docteur Frank Lipman, Revive, An Exhaustion and Feel Great Again, en anglais seulement pour l’instant.

The room spins with a turn of the head. Ears feel full for weeks. Ringing starts and doesn't stop. Exhaustion sets in, and because there's no snoring, no one tests for sleep apnea.Midlife women bring these symptoms to their gynecologist, and many have already been told it's menopause. Sometimes that's true. Often it's only part of the answer.Dr. Carolyn Moyers talks with Dr. Ashley Agan, a board-certified otolaryngologist in Dallas, about what midlife women are asking ENTs. They discuss vestibular migraine, which can cause vertigo with no headache and often surfaces in perimenopause. Dr. Agan explains why some women hear their own voice echo in one ear after weight loss, and why sleep apnea in women often looks like insomnia and fatigue. They also cover hearing and tinnitus, burning mouth, chronic throat clearing, dry nose, and when a symptom needs an ENT.And the ENT has a menopause story of her own!

Hey friend,  Do you feel like the harder you push to feel better, the more exhausted you end up? Have you ever wondered why "doing all the right things" still leaves you depleted? Do you deal with fatigue, brain fog, or feeling cold, and wonder if stress could be part of it? I'm Ashley, a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodiverse 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. This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and practice healthy habits that improve your symptoms, even in the middle of a full, demanding life. In this episode, I'm sharing why pushing harder when you're already depleted can backfire, and the surprising role chronic stress plays in how your body actually uses thyroid hormone. We walk through why more effort isn't always the fix, exactly what a standard thyroid panel does and doesn't check, and three honest, felt-experience signs that tell you more than a lab draw can.   Part 3: Resources and Links Mentioned 1:1 chronic health coaching: https://ashleybraden.com/coaching Join the free Chronic Health Moms Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/chronichealthmoms Natural products to support your stress and sleep: ashleybraden.com/shop Related Episodes:  Still Exhausted With “Normal” Thyroid Labs?

Exhaustion. Haywire hormones. And while hormone-sensitive cancers remain a major health concern, most people are still being handed basic bloodwork and told: "Everything looks normal." But what if we're simply not looking at the right markers? Last week, in Part I of our Estrogen Overload series, we exposed the research linking environmental endocrine disruptors like BPA with early puberty in girls as young as 4–8. Tomorrow in Part II, I'm sitting down with CHI Coach Carrington to answer the next big question: HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOU? Here's what we're uncovering: The hidden estrogen load your standard bloodwork may miss: Your estrogen picture isn't only what your body makes—it can also include HRT and environmental endocrine disruptors that interfere with estrogen signaling. What "estrogen overload" can look like on advanced bloodwork: We'll show you the hormone, liver and metabolic patterns that can provide clues when your weight, energy, testosterone and hormones are off. Why low testosterone in men may be a clue—not the root cause: Looking only at total testosterone can miss the bigger hormone, metabolic, liver and environmental picture. Weight gain, fatigue, PMS, fibroids, breast tenderness & haywire hormones: These symptoms can have multiple drivers, which is why simply prescribing another hormone doesn't necessarily answer WHY the imbalance developed. SNPs—the genetic clues hiding underneath your labs: Single nucleotide polymorphisms can reveal genetic differences that may influence how your body handles hormones and environmental exposures. Genes aren't destiny, but they can give us important clues. Your GUT can influence what happens to estrogen you're trying to eliminate: We'll explain the estrobolome and β-glucuronidase, a microbial enzyme that can deconjugate some estrogen metabolites and potentially allow them to be reabsorbed instead of leaving through your stool. And YES…this matters if you're taking HRT, too. Hormone replacement isn't only about what goes IN; we also need to understand what your body is doing with it. This week we're covering all of this and possible peptides that could support the downstream effects of this epidemic. allow them to be reabsorbed instead of leaving through your stool. And YES…this matters if you're taking HRT, too. Hormone replacement isn't only about what goes IN; we also need to understand what your body is doing with it. This week we're covering all of this and possible peptides that could support the downstream effects of this epidemic.

When we fight for control, it's rarely because we have an insatiable desire to play boss. Most often, fear is driving our behavior—especially when we’ve experienced situations that left us feeling powerless, uncertain and deeply wounded. After those experiences, we naturally want to do whatever we can to avoid landing in a similar crisis or painful spot. And so, we might overthink, try to fix other people or work harder to secure a particular outcome, while believing we’re simply being responsible and caring. So how can we recognize when healthy responsibility has crossed into control? In this episode, Jennifer Slattery talks with bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst about her latest release, Making Peace with What I Can't Control, and the fears that can drive controlling behavior and how to respond differently. Lysa shares how to distinguish responsibility from control, recognize the role our perceptions play in fear and focus our energy on what we actually can manage. She also discusses trusting God when we don’t understand what He’s allowing, remembering His past faithfulness and releasing outcomes into His capable hands.

I'm Tired of Being the Strong One — A 10-Minute Meditation for Emotional Exhaustion, Burnout and Always Saying "I'm Fine" Someone asks how you are, and "fine" comes out before the question's even finished. You're managing. Things are getting done. Nobody's worried about you. But underneath all that managing there's a tiredness you haven't mentioned to anyone — not sleepy-tired, something further down than that. This guided meditation sits with exactly that feeling: the emotional exhaustion of always being the strong one, and the quiet relief of putting it down, just for ten minutes. For a place to return to whenever this feeling catches up with you, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's companion app.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode uses a slow 4-2-6 breath (in for four, hold for two, out for six) and a body-awareness technique — noticing everything the chair, floor or bed is quietly holding for you — before moving into affirmation work that gives you permission to be tired, worn out, and not okay for a little while. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – The Weight You Don't Mention* 00:57 – Welcome & Anchored* 01:55 – Breathing (In for 4, Hold for 2, Out for 6)* 04:34 – Feeling What's Holding You Up* 05:21 – Affirmations: Putting the Strong Face Down* 08:02 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 08:57 – Coming Back Gently* 09:48 – A Note From Martin 

Exhaustion is often treated as a private failure of time management. Yet weariness can also grow from grief, caregiving, illness, economic pressure, injustice, and expectations that equate worth with output. Jesus does not address the weary with another demand to become more efficient. He offers himself: “Come to me.”

EP:208 Hey Thrive Community!

We talk about aging like it happens to a whole person at once. It doesn't. It happens organ by organ, at different speeds, and most people never find out which part of them is running ahead until something breaks.Dr. Will Cole has spent sixteen years running one of the first functional medicine telehealth centers in the world, and he came to this conversation with a case that is both clinical and personal. In 2023 his father lost consciousness at the wheel and died in the crash. The autopsy pointed to cardiometabolic changes, and his heart cells had been aging faster than the rest of him. That same year, Stanford researchers found that one in five adults over fifty has at least one organ aging faster than the others, and that when it's the heart, the risk of a cardiac event more than triples.His new book with Dr. Josh Axe, Heal Your Cells, makes an argument that reframes most of what gets called normal aging. Exhaustion, brain fog, the weight that will not move, the hormone shifts nobody can explain. These are not the calendar. They are cells that have stopped reading their own instructions clearly, and that is a state you can change.We get into what actually makes a cell feel unsafe, why your gut lining is one cell thick and therefore the first thing to break, and the point almost nobody makes about elimination diets: the reintroduction matters as much as the elimination, and a protocol you never came off of is a cast you left on until the muscle atrophied.We also get into light. Not just morning sun, but the darkness half, which matters more for women than most people realize. Melatonin is not only a sleep hormone, it's one of the more important antioxidants for ovarian aging, and light levels most people would call almost nothing can cut its production substantially.Track your sleep, recovery, strain, and HRV with WHOOP. Get one month free at https://join.whoop.com/kaylabarnesOptimize your sleep with the Eight Sleep Pod. Get up to $350 off at https://www.eightsleep.com/Kayla with code “KAYLA”Join the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women's health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan.

Philip Kreycik was 37, a Harvard graduate, an ultramarathoner, and an experienced outdoorsman. On July 10, 2021, he left for a training run at Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park in California, telling his wife he'd be back in an hour. He never returned. The search that followed became one of the West Coast's largest rescue operations, involving nearly 300 volunteers, multiple agencies, helicopters, and thermal imaging. But GPS data from his smartwatch revealed something investigators initially missed: he likely died within 75 minutes of going missing, before rescue teams could even fully mobilize. Julie and Kaycee walk through the timeline, the medical reality of heat illness, and the margins of error that collapse faster than experience can account for.Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome to Disaster Strikes00:42 Heatwave Run Begins02:26 Who Was Philip Kreycik03:35 GPS Shows Trouble05:25 Wrong Turn Off Trail06:17 Heat Illness Explained09:06 Minutes to Heatstroke10:56 Smartwatch Timeline13:06 Massive Search Effort15:14 Found After Four Weeks17:13 Family Reflections17:51 Lessons and Takeaways18:57 Why Heat Sneaks Up20:48 Closing and TributeKEY REFERENCESPleasanton Police Department Missing Person Investigation Files (2021)Alameda County Sheriff's Office Autopsy and Investigation Report (2021)Dapcevich, Madison.

What if part of your exhaustion isn't just from everything you're doing—but from everything you're trying to manage that was never actually yours to manage? If you've spent years being the strong one, keeping the peace, anticipating everyone's needs, monitoring other people's moods, or trying to make sure everything goes smoothly, you may be carrying far more emotional responsibility than you realize. In this episode, we're talking about the hidden ways we try to manage other people's feelings and control outcomes—and why it can leave you feeling depleted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself. We'll explore: • The difference between caring about someone and managing their emotions • How monitoring other people's moods can become a full-time job • Why we try to prevent disappointment, conflict, or uncomfortable reactions • The connection between people-pleasing, overfunctioning, and control • How trying to control outcomes can keep your nervous system constantly “on” • Why perimenopause and midlife can make these old coping strategies harder to sustain • What it looks like to stop taking responsibility for what isn't yours • How coming back to your own needs, body, feelings, and voice can restore your energy You don't have to stop caring about people. You don't have to become selfish. You simply get to stop abandoning yourself in order to keep everyone else okay. This is the deeper work behind Regulated & Radiant: learning to come home to yourself instead of spending your life managing everything and everyone around you. ✨Email me to get the Burnout Reset handout, or my upcoming Burnout Reset Workshop purelighthealings@gmail.com ................................................... ✨ Download my FREE Somatic Healing Masterclass and learn how to heal any trigger!  https://purelighthealing.myflodesk.com/nervoussytemhealing ................................................... ✨Get my book The Art of Unraveling-healing, transformation and tools for inner peace. https://purelightwellness.com/the-art-of-unraveling/

THE WORLD THAT NEEDED HIMSomething changed in Western democratic politics over the past two to three decades.Blair's New Labor is not Wilson's Labor. Clinton's Democrats are not Roosevelt's Democrats. Then came Citizens United and with it a flood of money and even greater corrosion of democratic politics.And then something even more revealing happened.In 2012, Barack Obama won re-election on hope and change. In 2016, roughly one in eight Trump voters, between seven and nine million people, had voted for Obama four years earlier.That is not contradiction. That is the same wound voting twice.Each disappointment priming the next surrender. Each failure making the soma more appealing.Curtis Yarvin's philosophy is the third expression of that wound at the philosophical level. Not a vote for a person. A vote for a different kind of system entirely. The logical conclusion of two consecutive failed bets on the existing one.For nearly two decades he wrote under a pseudonym, Mencius Moldbug, arguing that democracy is a failed experiment that should be replaced by a CEO monarch. No elections. No independent civil service. No press the monarch can't remove.Almost no one read his blog. Then Peter Thiel read it. Then JD Vance. Then Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen.In January 2025, Curtis Yarvin was a guest of honor at Donald Trump's Coronation Ball.The pseudonymous blogger is now in the room where power is exercised.That isn't a coincidence. That is the mechanism arriving at its destination. THE SOMAYarvin's offer isn't primarily intellectual. It's emotional. And it lands on one of the most legitimate emotions available right now.Exhaustion.And what he offers in response to that exhaustion is more sophisticated than anything Aldous Huxley imagined in 1932 when he named it soma in Brave New World. A gram is better than a damn.This episode shows you exactly what the offer is. And why it feels, to millions of people, like relief rather than surrender. THE ESC ANALYSISThe twelve-year-old who couldn't meet the peer criteria grew up. And built something.Yarvin grew up moving. Portugal. Cyprus. Dominican Republic. Serial displacement. Serial belonging failures. In Cyprus he was three grades ahead of his peers. When he returned to the US he described himself as a twelve-year-old sophomore and described that twelve-year-old, in his own words, as "a little arrogant asshole."The formal systems rewarded his intelligence. The peer systems did not.This episode shows you what the wound produced when it was given two decades, a philosophy blog, and eventually the ear of the most powerful people in the current administration.And in January 2025, he was in the room where those same people were seeking his counsel.In Dov Baron's ESC reading, that moment is not healing. It's validation. And those two can look the same, but they are psychologically universes apart. THE QUESTION TO CARRYWhere in your life have you accepted the needle, the soma, because the alternative was feeling everything?And who handed the numbing drug to you? NEXT WEEK: THE SERIES FINALEFour episodes have shown you the mechanism operating in other people.Episode 5 is the episode where Dov turns the lens on himself.And on you.The question he's going to answer is not theoretical. It comes from the bottom of a hundred and twenty foot fall.And it's the question this entire series has been building toward.You need to be there for it.

Not observing. Being the person that founders and senior executives call when the external success has arrived and something essential is still missing.Most people who find this series want to know one thing.How do I get access to that room?His work sits at the intersection of the Emotional Source Code and the Emotional Meaning Architecture: the psychological frameworks that reveal what is actually driving behavior, identity, and meaning before it reaches the level of conscious examination. The same frameworks that produce the analysis you've been listening to.He has worked exclusively by referral for twenty years. He has personally interviewed every client. And he has said no to at least as many as he has said yes to.If you are a founder or senior executive who has built something real and arrived at the quiet place where the winning has stopped being the thing, reach out directly at dov@dovbaron.com with the subject line: The Room.Not to buy anything. To find out whether you belong in it. ABOUT THE POLYMATHIC PERSPECTIVEThe Polymathic Perspective examines the emotional logic beneath power, culture, identity, and meaning. Together, we discover how psychological, cultural, and geopolitical patterns drive behaviors, not just in people, but in systems. If you've been told your curiosity is a liability, it's your greatest asset.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim explores the limitations people experience, focusing on the belief that life must be constantly managed, monitored, and controlled to keep it from falling apart. He explains that control is rarely the answer, and that forcing it only brings the kind of exhaustion most people are trying to escape.  Jim describes the idea of the "invisible contract,” and how it controls most entrepreneurs and professionals. He draws on his own experience, running a company with a full staff, to break down how constant control leads to catastrophic collapse. Instead, he offers listeners a different approach, dismantling the illusion piece by piece. He asks listeners what they actually control and reveals that the universe and every living thing in it has always existed without their permission.  If pedaling the bike of life has left you worn out, this episode offers a way off the bike entirely.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  (03:29) The invisible contract — Jim names the unconscious agreement most high achievers live by. It explains that everything will fall apart if they stop managing everything.  (11:42) The hustle culture trap — Jim explains why the belief that success requires constant struggle is backwards and how it violates the “be, do, have” model.  (12:44) The cause of exhaustion — Jim explains why the effort to control life is the root of the very exhaustion people are trying to escape.  (16:19) What you actually control — Jim walks listeners through the realization that they control neither the economy, the weather, their bodily processes, nor even their own thoughts.  (22:31) The failure of mind management — Jim reveals how trying to fix "bad weather" in life validates the illusion of things being broken, and why spirituality is just ego in disguise.  (26:08) The unmanaged life experiment — Jim offers listeners a 24-hour assignment and urges them to adopt the phrase, "I am not the manager of this moment."  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Exhaustion doesn't come from life being heavy. The real cause is the constant, low-grade effort to govern a life that was never yours to direct. Set down the role of middle manager for a day and see what happens. Use the day to observe your thoughts instead of reframing them. Observe the sensation instead of solving it, and let the universe do what it has always done. You are not the manager of this moment. Just be.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Judson attends his 25-year high school reunion. Brian begins his attempts to schedule “hotwifing” sessions with two of his favorite hookup partners, one session where he would watch his husband with another man, and one where his husband would watch him. The hookup of the week finds a listener and his partner enjoying some of the best kept secrets one port has to offer while on a family cruise. Brian and Judson are then joined by Andrew Abel, founder and creative director of Gay Tired Hopeful, which "explores the patterns shaping modern queer life, from identity and intimacy to culture, work, and belonging, and the things we're all quietly trying to figure out." Andrew describes how his professional and personal lives converged to drive him to create Gay Tired Hopeful, shares how his social media post questioning why gay men always act like there's someone better drove its current popularity, and delves into why ‘Tired' is an important part of the platform's name. He also talks about cruising in forests, being raised without rules, and identifying as polyamorous while married to someone who may not be. In closing, Andrew joins Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who is new to topping and has much he's curious about, particularly when it comes to living up to bottoms' standards at his regular batthouse.

Are you afraid of encountering a Canadian and not knowing what to do or how to handle it safely? Glenn walks through his new “Know Your Canadian” preparedness survival guide, which lays out exactly how to spot a Canadian among you. Most importantly, do not panic, secure the children, and leave a route north open. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joins alongside his daughter, Evita Duffy-Alfonso, to discuss whether parents should allow their children to go to Ivy League colleges like Harvard. Glenn reacts to a new possible bill, backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), that would punish anybody who develops an artificial intelligence that's smarter than humans with up to 20 years in prison. Department of Justice Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward Jr. joins to discuss the DOJ's expansion of its beef pricing investigation into the “Big Four” meatpackers, now extending to eight major grocery store retailers. Pastor Max Lucado joins Glenn to discuss his book, “Unbreakable Courage: Strong Faith in an Age of Anxiety, Chaos, and Exhaustion,” which dives into the biblical story of Elijah. Glenn brings on Jason and Rikki to discuss various stories, including the latest shocking update in the Lindsay Clancy trial and the drama between Fox News and Maria Bartiromo.

Elijah's story is filled with dramatic miracles, courageous faith, and unforgettable moments. But if you look a little closer, you'll find someone who isn't all that different from you! He knew fear. He experienced exhaustion. He wrestled with discouragement. And in between the extraordinary moments, there were long seasons of ordinary, faithful obedience. So in this first episode of the Jennifer Rothschild Show, best-selling author Max Lucado joins me to explore what Elijah's life can teach us about facing fear with faith, praying boldly, and trusting God through both the extraordinary and the ordinary. You'll discover what courage really is (and what it isn't), why the power of prayer has always been in the God who hears us—not the one who prays—and how to live with an expectation of divine disruption while faithfully serving God in the everyday. Because the same God who strengthened Elijah is faithful to strengthen you too… no matter what season you're in! *** LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Unbreakable Courage: Strong Faith in an Age of Anxiety, Chaos, and Exhaustion by Max Lucado Listen to other podcast episodes with Max Lucado on taming your thoughts or finding happiness RELATED EPISODES Can I Overcome Fear With Faith?

You can sleep eight hours and still wake up exhausted.Sometimes the tiredness is not only about sleep. It can also come from everything your mind is holding: the appointments, the decisions, the emotional labor, the people you check on, the things you remember so nobody else has to.In this episode of The Queen Reset, Aja Diack talks about mental load, invisible labor, and what can happen when being "the capable one" quietly becomes too much.You'll leave with three practical things to try this week:Name the invisible load you are carrying.Pause before automatically saying yes.Protect one hour that does not belong to anyone else.Aja also explains why persistent or severe fatigue should not simply be pushed through. Fatigue can have physical causes, and holistic support works alongside appropriate medical care.If this episode names something you have been carrying quietly, send it to a woman who may need to hear it too.The Queen Reset with Aja Diack

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie is joined by Rich Ortega, the C.O.O. and co-owner of On The Rock Services and podcast co-host of Commercial Kitchen Chronicles, to discuss the realities of starting and running a service business. Rich shares his experience working in the commercial kitchen industry for 20 years, including his time working for his father and grandfather before eventually moving into larger companies and starting his own business. The conversation begins with the challenges of working with independent restaurants, including low budgets, price objections, and the difficulty of getting customers to understand the true cost of repairs and maintenance. Rich explains why he shifted his focus toward larger chain and multi-unit operations and how those customers provide more opportunities to perform profitable repairs and maintenance. Gary and Rich then discuss Rich's journey into entrepreneurship, including the experiences that pushed him to leave his previous employer, the importance of building a strong personal reputation, and how existing customer relationships helped him establish his own company. They also explore the less-discussed side of business ownership, including long hours, being available 24/7, sacrificing vacations and free time, and the intense workload during the first few years. Rich shares what his first year was really like and why, despite the exhaustion, he genuinely enjoyed the journey. Expect to Learn: ● The challenges of servicing independent restaurants and dealing with limited repair budgets. ● Why Rich shifted his business toward larger chain and multi-unit restaurant operations. ● How to identify additional legitimate repair and maintenance opportunities during service calls. ● Rich's journey from working for his family and larger companies to becoming an entrepreneur. ● Why building a strong personal reputation can help when starting a new service business. ● The sacrifices, long hours, and lack of work-life balance that can come with starting a business. ● What Rich's first six months and first year in business were really like.   Episode Highlights:            [00:00] - Sponsor Ad: Factory Direct Filters            [00:42] - Introduction to Rich Ortega & the Focus of the Episode            [03:21] - The Challenges of Servicing Independent Restaurants            [07:10] - Why Rich Focused on Larger Restaurant Accounts            [10:17] - Rich's Journey Into Entrepreneurship            [17:36] - The Sacrifices & Reality of Business Ownership            [20:38] - Why Rich Enjoyed the Journey Despite the Exhaustion    This Episode is Kindly Sponsored by: Cintas: https://www.cintas.com/hvacknowitall Cool Air Products: https://www.coolairproducts.net/ Factory Direct Filters: https://www.factorydirectfilters.com/ SupplyHouse: https://www.supplyhouse.com/tm Use promo code HKIA5 to get 5% off your first order at Supplyhouse!   Follow the Guest Rich Ortega and His Companies on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rich-ortega-61460125b/ Company LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ontherockservices/ Company Website: https://www.ontherockservices.com/ Guest's Podcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/commercial-kitchen-chronicles/  Guest's Podcast Website: https://commercialkitchenchronicles.com/   Follow the Host on: LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-mccreadie-38217a77/ LinkedIn - HVAC Know It All: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hvac-know-it-all-inc Website: https://www.hvacknowitall.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/HVAC-Know-It-All-2/61569643061429/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hvacknowitall1/    Follow the Podcast on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HVACKnowItAll Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6LCBJGw0EHG03rdWHxUMce Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hvac-know-it-all-podcast/id1359253455 

Burnout Before Licensure: Why Prelicensed Therapist Exhaustion Is a Supervision Problem, Not a Time Management Problem A continuing education episode on prelicensed therapist burnout, clinical supervision, and why early career exhaustion is a systemic problem rather than a time management one. Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT examine why prelicensed clinicians are entering the mental health workforce already depleted. Client acuity climbed during the pandemic and has not come back down, the least experienced clinicians are frequently assigned the most complex cases, and roughly a third of the work week goes to compliance, tracking, and billing. Add student loan debt, low paid and unpaid associate and practicum roles, and severe evaluation anxiety, and burnout arrives long before licensure. This is not a self-care episode, and Curt and Katie say so at the top: no toxic positivity, no bubble bath prescriptions. They treat prelicensee burnout as a systemic and relational problem, then look at clinical supervision as the place it can realistically be buffered. That includes the supervisor seat, where new supervisors often receive no training in how to supervise, absorb vicarious trauma from every caseload they oversee, and watch as much as 90 percent of the supervision hour get swallowed by administrative work. The back half of the episode is practical. Supervisees get transition rituals, boundary architecture, and a realistic look at managing up. Supervisors get better check-in questions, guidance on modeling vulnerability, and structural adjustments they can make in the next supervision hour. This is a continuing education podcourse. One unit of CE is available through the Modern Therapist Learning Community at moderntherapistcommunity.com. In this episode, we discuss: * Why prelicensed clinicians burn out at higher rates than their licensed colleagues * How burnout presents differently before licensure, as exhaustion, brain fog, and vicarious trauma rather than cynicism * Why treating early career exhaustion as a rite of passage is a supervisory failure * What supervisors are carrying that supervisees rarely see * Concrete strategies supervisees can use without waiting for a supervisor to change * How supervisors can build restorative space into the structure of supervision * Why note lag is a signal of clinical capacity rather than poor organization Timestamps: 00:54 - Why prelicensees arrive already exhausted 02:41 - CE objectives and the systemic frame 09:40 - The data on prelicensed burnout rates 14:26 - The competency trap 17:36 - How burnout looks different before licensure 22:32 - The supervision paradox and the 90 percent problem 29:06 - Strategies for supervisees 37:37 - Strategies for supervisors 50:31 - Case vignette: note lag as a capacity signal 1:04:58 - Key takeaways and call to action Full show notes, references, and CE information: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann: https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano: https://groomsymusic.com/

Where Has All My Energy Gone? — High-Functioning Anxiety & Exhaustion Relief | Guided Meditation If you've ever collapsed onto the edge of the bed at the end of a perfectly "fine" day and thought, "where has all my energy gone? I didn't even do anything today," this episode is for you. Calming Anxiety sits with the exhaustion of high-functioning anxiety, the quiet cost of holding everything together while everyone else sees someone coping just fine. We slow the body first with the extended exhale, four counts in and eight counts out, gently unwinding the shallow, high-chest breathing that builds up during a long day of performing calm, the same kind of over-breathing Martin worked with often on ambulance call-outs as a paramedic.For daily support beyond this episode, download Anchored on iOS, with Android arriving in a couple of weeks.

Listener Q&A, covering nine different questions/topics from building bike power as a runner and a collegiate swimmer moving back into triathlon, through what actually makes us fatigue during a threshold effort, to swimskins, power duration curves and lots more. We do listener Q&As monthly, the last Thursday every month. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Building the bike as a runner: why heart rate sits lower on the bike than on the run, whether that gap matters, and what it says about where the limiter is. Plus how to use a daily 20 km ride towing a 25 kg dog trailer. A 193 cm, 100 kg collegiate swimmer moving back into triathlon: the engine-stronger-than-the-chassis problem, a run progression specified down to the minute, and why Mikael gets more conservative every time he coaches this profile. Why the maximal lactate steady state is a steady state for lactate and not for the whole body, what keeps drifting while lactate holds flat, and what one study found when it looked for the system that fails at exhaustion. How long you can actually hold MLSS, against the 40 minutes the question assumed, how much that varies between athletes, and where critical power sits relative to it. Swimskins: whether they give you any of the buoyancy a wetsuit does, the performance, drag and energy cost numbers from the closest pool research, and the thing that matters more than the brand and price tag. Whether a swimskin does more for a fast swimmer or a slow one. Reading your own power duration curve with nobody to compare against: the TrainingPeaks chart to start from, why a flat profile means something different for a triathlete than a cyclist, and Strava as a stand-in database. Mikael's W' bands for male and female age group triathletes, on record for the first time, plus the critical power ratio from close to a hundred of his own athletes' tests. Quickfire round on altitude, heat and the CORE sensor, run volume by intensity, and vegan nutrition.

Deuteronomy 20:4 was spoken by Moses, not to one soldier before one battle, but to an entire nation standing at the edge of years of warfare, enemy after enemy, again and again. What the priest was instructed to tell them changes everything: the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you. Not that He will help you fight, or hand you strength for your fight, or cheer from the sidelines. He does the fighting. That distinction matters enormously, because fighting and wrestling are not the same thing. When you wrestle something, your arms are wrapped around it, and you cannot put it down because you are the one holding on. Some of us are not exhausted because our battle is hard. We are exhausted because we are wrestling with something God is already fighting. Moses did not promise the Israelites they would never face the same enemy again. He told them who would be doing the fighting when they did. That is enough. Today's Bible Verse "For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."— Deuteronomy 20:4, NIV Ponder Today God does not just help you fight — He is the one who fights. The promise of Deuteronomy 20:4 is not that He will strengthen your grip on the battle. It is that He goes and He fights. That is a fundamentally different posture than the one most of us have been taking. Fighting and wrestling are not the same thing. When we wrestle a worry, our arms are around it and we cannot put it down because we are the ones holding on. Exhaustion in the Christian life often comes not from hard battles but from wrestling what God is already fighting. Handing something to God and then taking it back is not failure — it is the pattern we are learning to shorten. The goal is not a perfect record of surrender. It is noticing sooner when our hands are full again and giving it back one more time. Moses did not promise the Israelites would never face the same enemy twice. He told them who would be doing the fighting when they did. A war that keeps returning does not mean God has stopped showing up. He keeps coming back to fight it. "This isn't mine" is a complete and sufficient response to a returning worry. You do not need to figure it out, wrestle it into submission, or explain why you picked it up again. Open your hands and give it back. That is the whole move. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, here I am with this again — the same thing I brought You last week and the week before. I am honestly tired of listening to myself pray about it. But You knew this would be a long war when You said You would fight it. You promised You would go with me and fight for me. Not once have You declared that I had to win it on my own. Lord, I have had my arms wrapped around something You never handed me, and then wondered why I am exhausted. Forgive me for that. Help me open my hands. When I pick it back up, help me notice sooner. Shorten the distance between grabbing it and giving it back. You are the One who goes and who fights for me. Help me live like that is true. In Jesus' name, Amen. Want More? Sign up for our free newsletter, The Good Word, for weekly biblical wisdom and encouragement delivered right to your inbox.
