We often think of a rock bottom story as the moment someone relapses, destroys their marriage, or hits crisis during active addiction. But what if rock bottom doesn't come at the start of recovery? What if it shows up years after sobriety, long after you've quit porn?In this raw and deeply personal episode, I share the story of my real rock bottom—a collapse that came after I had overcome porn, but before I had truly healed.This isn't just about addiction. It's about how perfectionism, spiritual bypassing, emotional suppression, and the need for control nearly ruined my life—even while I was “doing everything right.”Whether you're just beginning your porn addiction recovery journey or have years of sobriety behind you, this episode will speak to the deeper layers of healing:How I became addicted to productivity, spiritual performance, and “doing recovery perfectly”Why emotional sobriety matters just as much as behavioral sobrietyHow Internal Family Systems (IFS) helped me see that the voice I thought was the Spirit was actually a perfectionist protector part of my mindThe danger of confusing God's will with your own fearThe moment I realized I had built my identity on shame, not truthHow I began healing my marriage, my mental health, and my relationship with GodWhat I learned about accountability, ownership, and the power of being realYou'll also hear about how my first attempt at building a recovery business failed, what I learned from hitting emotional and spiritual bottom, and how my understanding of faith and addiction recovery had to radically change in order for me to grow.This is for the man who's done the surface-level work… but still feels stuck.It's for the guy who feels anxious, isolated, or ashamed even years into recovery.It's for anyone ready to stop running, get honest, and choose growth.If you've ever wondered how to overcome shame, reclaim your agency, and pursue real healing from addiction—this conversation will meet you right where you are.Resources Mentioned:
In this honest and layered conversation, I sit down with Ashlee Ihemelu—Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, HTMA specialist, blood chemistry analyst, and cohost of one of my favorite podcasts, The Wellness Reality Check—to talk about what healing really requires beneath the surface.Ashlee brings a unique blend of clinical insight, lived experience, and grounded intuition, and I've been a huge fan of the way she cuts through the noise in the wellness space with nuance, warmth, and clarity.Together, we explore:The subtle ways clients unconsciously keep themselves stuck (even while doing “everything right”)How to navigate wellness trends with discernment, not fearThe unspoken realities of being a practitioner and a person in the processHow living in Costa Rica has reshaped Ashlee's approach to both mental and physical healthWhy ancestral rhythms and foundational practices still matter mostIf you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to “get it all right,” this episode is your permission slip to slow down, listen deeper, and trust the quiet work happening beneath the surface.

Is fear holding you back? We are diving into this topic, which affects all of us in our coaching careers. I believe that fear, not hate, is the opposite of love. When we are caught up in the fear of what other people think about us, whether we are smart enough, bright enough, and strong enough, we are held back from the love of what we do and the love for those around us. With our focus on stepping into fear vs. love, I hope this episode will keep fear from being the barrier preventing us from stepping into the world and bringing our expertise forward. Along with exploring this topic, we will discuss practical strategies to move beyond fear. Join us!Show Highlights:Recognizing and normalizing the fearThe chatter in our brains is fueled by fear and keeps us small!You, your special sauce, and your unique perspective are needed in the world!The cost of staying small for you, your audience, and the world.Specific fears that service professionals encounter:The fear of criticismThe fear of “impostor syndrome”The fear of responsibilityPerfectionismThe comparison trapStrategies to conquer fears:Set clear boundaries.Ground yourself in general knowledge and expertise.Adopt a communication style that is adult-to-adult.Shift your lens to the service you offer and the impact you can have.Examples of those who have pushed past the fear that held them backKey takeaways and a challenge from MegResources:Connect with MegENROLLING NOW FOR THE FALL MENTOR PROGRAM beginning in August 2025.

This isn't just about economics—it's about how we respond to change, where we spend our money, and how to reclaim financial and mental peace.Key Topics Discussed:The unpredictability of capitalism and its impact on daily lifeHow to navigate economic uncertainty without falling into fearThe hidden costs of convenience and how small fees add upThe psychology of consumerism and how marketing shapes our spendingWhy companies push artificial scarcity and dynamic pricing modelsRethinking tipping culture, hidden fees, and unnecessary expensesHow to shift from being a passive consumer to an intentional spenderThe importance of simplifying your life and reducing unnecessary purchasesStrategies for regaining control over finances and decision-makingThe mindset shift needed to survive and thrive in turbulent economic timesJim's Takeaways:You have more control than you think – The key to navigating economic chaos is shifting from reactive to proactive decision-making.Small costs add up – The extra fees, tipping culture, and “convenience” charges are draining wallets daily.Consumer psychology is powerful – Companies are designed to keep you spending, but recognizing their tactics helps you make better choices.Simplicity brings peace – Cutting back, decluttering, and making intentional purchases can lead to a better, more fulfilling life.Stop waiting for others to fix the system – Governments and corporations aren't going to change overnight, but you can adjust your approach right now.Challenge for Listeners:Take a hard look at your spending habits—where is your money going?Identify one convenience fee, service, or unnecessary purchase you can cut out.Consider what “simplicity” means to you and how it could improve your quality of life.Get in Touch:Have thoughts on this episode?

Look, let's talk about something that's been driving me crazy. I keep seeing brilliant therapists - with incredible expertise, amazing programs ready to go - completely stuck in fear. And you know what's fascinating? When we look at the psychology of what's actually happening here, it has nothing to do with strategy.Here's what blows my mind: strategy only accounts for 20% of your success in launching an online program. The other 80%? That's what we're diving into today, and trust me - this is going to change everything about how you approach putting yourself out there.In this episode, I'm getting really real about what's actually holding therapists back (and no, it's not your tech setup or your marketing plan). Drawing from both neuroscience and real stories from our community, I'm sharing exactly how to work with your nervous system, not against it. Because here's the truth - your clinical expertise isn't just relevant to building an online program, it's actually your secret weapon.In this episode, we dive into:Why strategy is only 20% of your success (and what actually moves the needle)Meet your new best friend: 'nerv-cited' - our community's approach to working with fearThe superpower you already have (hint: it's your clinical expertise!)How to make your vision bigger than your fearReal, honest stories from therapists who've been exactly where you arePractical ways to take action while honouring your clinical integrityRate, Review, & Subscribe to the Therapists Rising Podcast "Dr. Hayley truly understands the unique challenges therapists face!"

I used to believe that for every good thing that happened to me, something bad had to happen as well to even it out, like a universal balancing system. Every time something good was going to happen, I always thought to myself, “What will the payback be?” In my years of experience working with and talking to women, I have learned that lots of women live with this fear, often for a long time.Listen in as I talk about why we have this fear, acknowledge that you're not crazy for having it, and how to shift out of this kind of thinking so you can live your life with freedom instead of fear. In this episode I discuss:How fear keeps you from taking risks - and how this protects and hinders usHow negativity bias is a symptom of adrenal overloadThe role of the amygdala in fearHow your brain remembers threatsHow negative emotions get attached to positive emotionsWhat happens when we go into fight or flight modeWhat intuition really isHow to get out of this fearThe power of neuroplasticityThe importance of being aware of your feelingsHow to use cognitive disruption to shift from fear to freedomWhy I love taking deep breathsThe value of journalingHow to practice forgivenessLooking for supplements for yourself and your family, including some of those I talk about in episodes?

When you hear this episode, you'll see why I'm so giddy about it!This week's first guest on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast is Rachel Harris. Rachel is disrupting what it means to be an accountant, a business owner and an employer in 2023.

The fear of failure is the underlying topic beneath every conversation I have with my clients. No matter who you are, what you've achieved and what success you're striving for, nobody is immune to the fear of failure. We all face it. The solution then isn't so much about ridding yourself of the fear. It's about getting comfortable with being uncomfortable because the fear will never not be there.A fear of failure can come up at any stage of the performance spectrum. Maybe you even fear admitting what you really want because of the possibility of being ridiculed or people thinking your goals are unrealistic. People often claim they don't know what they want, but it's usually to avoid the difficult process of pursuing it.Admitting what you wantAdmitting your goals is just the first step. Then comes taking action, which brings its own set of fears. You might worry about looking stupid or being disappointed. These thoughts can be paralysing. And then there's the fear of success - what if achieving your goal changes your life in ways you're not prepared for?The Illusion of FearThe fear of failure is insidious and ubiquitous. Yet, on the other side of that fear lies total freedom. When you truly see “failure” for what it is, an incredible learning experience, the rest of your experience becomes a playground. The concept of failure becomes irrelevant once you realise your fear of failure is a total illusion. Taking ActionThis is where it's so important to reframe your thinking around failure. Instead of letting the possibility of failure stop you from trying in the first place, think of any action you take as an opportunity to grow and get closer to your goal. Sure, you risk not getting what you want straight away, but that's just the price of entry for any worthwhile pursuit.Being comfortable with DiscomfortSuccessful people aren't immune to fear; they've just learned to be comfortable with discomfort. And so can you. You build comfort with discomfort by continuously putting yourself in situations where you risk failure and learning from each experience.Once you admit what you want and start taking action, despite the risks, the mere act of pursuing what you love will feel like success. The fear of failure is just a mental barrier. Once you begin, you realise the journey itself can be fulfilling.LINKS:Join the waitlist for my Masterminds hereWebsite: https://hayleycarr.tv/

Leonard Cohen suggests, "There's a crack in everything / That's how..." Whether from our restlessness, our fear, or our trauma, to see the world rightly might start with the need to acknowledge the crack in everything.Only then can we see a new world of understanding and belonging and well-being.Graham Ward (University of Oxford) joins Ryan McAnnally-Linz to reflect on the purpose of theology, Christology as the place where the divine and the human come together, trauma, restlessness, fear, the human capacity for creativity and destruction (and which will we choose?), and how the Gospels offer a new sense of belonging.About Graham WardGraham Ward is Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford and is author of several books, including How the Light Gets In and Another Kind of Normal.Show NotesGraham Ward's Ethical Life books under discussion in this episode: How the Light Gets In and Another Kind of NormalCreating inner coherence through a systematic theologyScripture as the common text all Christians return toReading with a sense of original language“We do believe God speaks to us through the scriptures.”Writing titles that invite non-Christians to the books“There's a lot of the church who are not in church on Sunday.”“I always think that, one, theology lost in a sense when it became professionalized. And two…theology has got to be pastoral.”“Good writing can find the phrasing which unlocks experiences that other people have had.”Theology as speaking more to being human than being divineDogma (Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) and the problem with “Buddy Jesus”Theology that defamiliarizes ChristThe strangeness of Christ as drawing outBalancing defamiliarization with the glory of CreationNone of us actually know what the resurrection truly meansTrauma in the early church“What is it we're looking for in our restlessness?”Restlessness as fundamentally connected to our fearThe conflict between losing control in Christ, and being a predatory creatureGrace breaking through in the rubbish heap, like sunlight on a violet“This is the hard love which demanded God's sacrifice, but also demands my sacrifice of what I think love should be.”Julian of Norwich“I was just playing with the phrase ‘because the devil is in the detail', and it's not, it's God that's in the detail.”Will you be creative or will you be destructive?The role of the church in people who are discerningMystagogy, living what you worshipThe role of liturgy in communityFragmentation and non-belonging within our contemporary relationshipsThe gospels as incorporating a new type of belongingProduction NotesThis podcast featured Graham WardEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give
This week, McKay takes listeners on a journey centered around courage and faith in the face of fear. Through his examination of some truly inspiring stories, he reminds us that having faith in ourselves, our loved ones, and a higher purpose can empower us to conquer fear and accomplish the extraordinary - to ‘do it afraid'.As McKay reflects upon these journeys in which individuals confront daunting challenges that test their mettle and belief in a brighter future, it becomes evident that fear and faith cannot coexist harmoniously. However, by choosing faith and persevering through fear, individuals can unlock remarkable potential in their lives. Quoting St. Augustine, McKay notes that "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of faith is to see what you have believed." Join our host here today, and learn to embrace this faith, dispel the doubt, and enjoy the reward of understanding that you can do it afraid and find your own path to success.Episode Highlights:Janine's story and how courage isn't the absence of fear but the victory over itPeter's journey on the stormy sea and the concept of moving forward despite fear and adversityMarin's family's unwavering faith on the Oregon Trail showcasing faith as a potent force to conquer fear and achieve miraclesThe idea that faith and fear cannot coexist harmoniouslyEmbracing faith in yourselves, loved ones, and a higher purposeHow having faith can empower us to dispel doubt and accomplish the extraordinaryConfronting challenges head-on, regardless of fearThe transformative potential of faithQuotes:"I still feel fear, yet I am not afraid.""Courageous people do what they believe in their hearts they should do, no matter how they feel or what kind of doubt and fearful thoughts fill their minds.""Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.""Of all the liars in the world, the worst are our own fears."“Love casts out fear, but fear casts out love. This means that when we give into our fears, we love less, we care less, we place fear at the top of our priority list.”“Have faith in your decisions. Don't let fear keep you from them, and finish what you started, and place your faith in what you love.”Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

Activist, Pastor, and Global Leader Evan Mawarire reflects on the role of Christian faith in democratic leadership, specifically looking at three significant Gospel passages that reveal not just Jesus's approach to leadership, but how he teaches his disciples to lead with peace, humility, compassion, and faith.In Mark 4, we find Jesus leading from peace, rest, control, and trust, peacefully sleeping in the midst of a storm, while the disciples prematurely conclude: “Don't you care that we are going to die?” In Mark 10, when two of the disciples play political games for their own glory, Jesus responds with a teaching of humility and a subversive glory—that the greatest will in fact be the servant of all. And in John 13, Jesus displays this humility and compassion by washing the gross and grungy feet of his friends, and teaching Peter that a leader is first a student, and the student isn't greater than their teacher.This episode was made possible in part by the generous support of the Tyndale House Foundation.

Other boats were with him. 37 A great gale arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. 38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?' 39 He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!' Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. 40 He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?' 41 And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?'See also: Luke 8:22-25, Matthew 8:23-27“Don't you care that we are going to die?”Jesus's goal of leadership developmentMark 10:35-45 ****35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, ‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.' 36 And he said to them, ‘What is it you want me to do for you?' 37 And they said to him, ‘Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.' 38 But Jesus said to them, ‘You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?' 39 They replied, ‘We are able.' Then Jesus said to them, ‘The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.' 41 When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John. 42 So Jesus called them and said to them, ‘You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 43 But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.'Pastor Evan's work in Zimbabwe's Citizen's movement“Lord, give us a seat at the table that decides the future of this nation.”Prayer: We ask for harvest, God plants a seed.How do we prepare our leaders?Luke 6: “The student is not above the teacher.”Reversing the roles: being served versus servingLeadership is not designed to be comfortablePeople are at their worst when we are in crisis, but this is when we're supposed to see leaders at their best when we're in crisis.Sheep without a shepherdLoss of trust and the Global Trust BarometerLeadership is not just about the right skill set, it's importantly about the right heart set.Washing the feet of the disciplesJohn 13:1-171 Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, 4 got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered, “You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” 8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.” 11 For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, “Not all of you are clean.” 12 After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. 16 Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.HumilityCompassionIt's not easy to leadStarfish Story: “To that one it made a difference.”“Someone who knows how to lead, knows how they have been served themselves.”“Where can plant seeds of impact?”“How do we faithfully look after these sprouting of servant leadership, of people that understand that leadership is about serving are more than it is about being served.”Back to urgency and patience—the only way to plant seeds is to plant now and wait.“Where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.”“There are two most important days in your life—the day you were born and the day you discover why.”Patience and the crafting of leadershipAbout Evan MawarireEvan Mawarire is a Zimbabwean clergyman who founded #ThisFlag Citizen's Movement to challenge corruption, injustice, and poverty in Zimbabwe.
