Rian Johnson's new Knives Out film, 'Wake Up Dead Man,' is sparking conversations few mainstream movies ever touch — faith, forgiveness, power and what it actually means to follow Jesus in a polarized world.In this episode, we talk with the filmmaker about growing up in the Church, walking away from faith and why Christ's teachings — especially “love your enemy” — still shape the stories he wants to tell. Johnson opens up about wrestling with the us-versus-them mentality, the corrupting pull of power and influence, and why he wanted to portray Christian belief with empathy rather than caricature.Plus, the RELEVANT crew debates the best Christmas movie of all time in a chaotic bracket showdown, reacts to surprising year-end culture stories and discusses new research suggesting adolescence doesn't actually end until age 32.HIGHLIGHTS:01:40 – Why 'Wake Up Dead Man' Feels Like a Gospel Story04:00 – Serving vs. Fighting: Faith and the Culture War06:45 – Why Culture Is More Open to Spiritual Conversations09:20 – Is Wake Up Dead Man the Best Knives Out Movie?12:10 – Is Rian Johnson Done With Faith?13:10 – Christianity vs. Church Culture20:15 – RELEVANT Buzz22:00 – Forrest Frank Breaks Into Google's “Hum to Search” List26:30 – Theo Von and Morgan Wallen's Bible Study Revealed32:00 – Rian Johnson on Growing Up Evangelical34:00 – “Arms Wide Open vs. Fists Up” Faith Explained39:00 — SLICES39:20 – New Research Says Adolescence Lasts Until Age 3245:15 – AI Reality TV Is Here (Unfortunately)47:30 – Christmas Movie Bracket ChallengeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

(Episode #311) Choosing yourself often feels like losing everything, but staying where you are costs you far more. In this client session, I sit with a courageous mother standing at the edge of a major life transition. For years, she has carried the emotional weight of her relationship, her home, and her family, often at the expense of her own needs. As we explore the slow unraveling of a marriage that no longer feels aligned, Spirit brings clarity to why choosing herself feels so terrifying. What she fears losing is not just the relationship, but the familiar structure that once felt like safety. Join us as we talk about the grief of letting go of what you hoped would work, the exhaustion of being the one who keeps everything moving forward alone, and the courage it takes to stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace. This session is a reminder that choosing yourself may feel like loss at first, but it is often the moment where freedom, stability, and true support finally begin.

The best moments at Christmas happen when we actually experience Christ—when we feel and live what Christ Jesus taught and something of the spiritual power he embodied. How can we do that? That's what this episode is all about. Join us to hear how to bring more awe to the holidays—and all year long.

In this video, we explore Allah's name Al-Qarib, reflecting on His nearness, His perfect attributes, and how remembering Him brings comfort, clarity and strength through every stage of life.

What if the reason we can't say no isn't a willpower problem—but a nervous system problem? In Part 2 of this raw, unscripted conversation, Dr. Aimie Apigian and her friend Jalon Johnson go deeper into what actually happens inside our body when we try to set a boundary. This isn't theory—it's two people sharing what it felt like to rehearse conversations for days, to brace for rejection, and to genuinely believe the world might end if they said no to family. From the realization that we've been having hour-long arguments with people entirely in our heads, to the moment the sun still came up after saying "I'm not coming," this episode gets honest about why boundaries feel like pulling the pin on a grenade—and what changes when we finally let it go. In this episode you'll hear more about: The conversations we have that never actually happen: Dr. Aimie's revelation that she would spend hours—sometimes days—rehearsing both sides of a conversation with someone, anticipating their response, forming rebuttals, all before saying a single word out loud. The exhausting mental gymnastics of trying to manage someone else's reaction before it even exists. Why "no" feels like a threat to survival: Jalon's insight that if you've never been comfortable saying no, your nervous system treats it like danger. The activation, the bracing, the preparing for impact—it's not dramatic, it's protective. And it makes sense when we understand what we learned in childhood. "No with a period is a complete sentence": The reframe Jalon's first therapist gave him that he's carried ever since—and why most of us still struggle to say no without attaching explanations, justifications, and apologies to soften the blow we're sure is coming. The world didn't end—and that changed everything: Dr. Aimie's experience of finally setting the boundary, bracing for disaster, and then... nothing. The sun came up. The family moved on. And she was able to show up as the person she actually wanted to be instead of the drained, resentful version running on empty. Self-care feels frightening when you've never done it: Why taking care of ourselves can feel more threatening than burning out, and how building tolerance to rest—just like building tolerance to anything new—takes practice, not perfection. Asking "why" until you get the real answer: The technique both Dr. Aimie and Jalon use to get beneath the surface reason—asking why five, six, seven times until the truth finally shows up. Dr. Aimie's application of this to her emotional eating patterns and what she discovered underneath the hunger. Setting a boundary isn't about having the perfect words or the right explanation. It's about recognizing that the discomfort we feel isn't proof we're doing something wrong—it's proof we're doing something new. Our nervous system learned that saying no was dangerous. It will take time to teach it otherwise. And in the meantime, we can hold both: the part that's terrified and the part that knows we need this.

You say you want speed. But what you really want is relief.So you chase what feels lighter. New ideas. New paths. New distractions.It feels like movement. But it quietly slows you down.In this conversation with Eric, we expose why losing focus is not a productivity problem. It is a fear problem.And what it actually takes to stay with the one thing that matters when escape feels easier.Eric Rogell is a bestselling author and leadership expert who has spent years studying courage, presence, and what separates real strength from performative motion.INSIDE THE EPISODE• Why focus starts to feel heavy When pressure rises, your nervous system looks for relief. Distraction feels like speed, but it is not.• The hidden reason leaders drift Focus breaks when staying present requires courage. Escape is easier than commitment.• Where the old approach fails More discipline does not fix fear. Trying harder only adds weight.• The distinction that changes everything Focus is not about forcing attention. It is about choosing courage over comfort.• What to notice going forward Anytime something shiny pulls you away, ask what you are avoiding, not what you are missing.THIS EPISODE IS FOR• Founders who feel busy but slower than they used to• Leaders jumping between ideas that all feel urgent• High performers mistaking relief for progress• Anyone who knows their real work but keeps stepping away from itWHAT TO DO NEXTShare this with the founder who keeps changing direction but says they want momentum.

What if the life you're trying so hard to build… is already here, waiting for you to slow down enough to notice it?As entrepreneurs, we're conditioned to keep reaching—another milestone, another level, another “next.” But rarely do we stop to question whether the pursuit itself is steering us away from the very fullness we're craving. In this week's episode of Success Genius, we're unpacking the cultural obsession with more—and how it quietly rewires your goals, your energy, and even your sense of worth.Inside this Wanting Well instalment, we explore the myth that growth always requires adding something new. You'll hear the neuroscience behind why the chase feels addictive, why the dopamine dip after achievement leaves you restless, and how the constant pursuit of the next win tricks your brain into believing you're falling behind—even when you're not.We'll also dive into the psychology of “enoughness,” why it's not a number but a relationship, and how your beliefs about time, money, energy, and success shape the kind of goals you choose for 2026. And most importantly, you'll learn how to design goals from wholeness—not scarcity, not fear of stagnation, and definitely not the pressure to outperform last year's version of you.Join me as we rethink what meaningful growth really looks like. Because when your ambition becomes rooted in fulfillment—rather than in proving, performing, or producing—you don't just set healthier goals… you build a life that actually feels like the one you've been working toward.Topics covered in this episode include:Why the “myth of more” keeps high achievers stuck in an endless chaseHow dopamine drives the thrill of pursuit—and the crash that followsThe psychology behind feeling “not enough,” even when you hit big goalsPractical shifts for designing 2026 goals from wholeness, not scarcityReady to set goals that feel grounded, spacious, and genuinely aligned? Tune in and learn how to break free from achievement addiction and build a life that feels full before you add anything new.Resources Mentioned:Get The Book:  https://book.neillwilliams.com/bookLearn More About TEAM90:  https://neillwilliams.com/team90Book A Team Turnaround Call:  https://neillwilliams.com/team-turnaround-callContact Us: support@neillwilliams.com

This week's episode is a gentle reminder for all of us: you're doing more than you realize, and it's okay to acknowledge it.

Seth and Sean dive into this offseason feeling like an actual reset for the Astros and some tidbits from the winter meetings going on.

Have you felt the spark of a calling—yet the path forward feels slow, uncertain, or paused? When your heart says “yes” but life isn't moving as quickly as you hoped, it can stir frustration, self-doubt, and the fear that you're falling behind. In truth, slow-moving callings are often signs of something deeper unfolding within you.In this episode, Wendy DeRosa explores why soul callings rarely arrive all at once, and how the slow pace of becoming is part of your inner evolution. She breaks down the energetic mechanics of a calling—where intuition lands, how awakening expands, and why expansion often bumps into old conditioning, fear, or contraction.You'll learn:• Why spiritual callings take time to manifest• How expansion can trigger old conditioning & protection• The connection between intuition, heart, and soul purpose• A guided practice to meet fear & resistance with compassion• How to make space for your intuitionThis episode offers grounded support for anyone navigating the in-between—the space where excitement meets uncertainty, where growth asks for patience, and where healing becomes the bridge to what's next.Slow doesn't mean stalled.Your calling is growing inside you.Tune in, breathe into your expansion, and walk your path with tenderness and trust.

In this episode, I'm joined by Marie Crews, a transformational coach, speaker, retreat facilitator, and best-selling author whose work is grounded in one core belief: your story can set you free. For over 15 years, Marie has helped women rewrite the narratives that limit them—guiding them through grief, trauma, and profound life transitions with compassion, courage, and clarity. Marie's 25-year journey of self-discovery led her to the practice that became her greatest healing tool: journal writing. This deeply personal process inspired her to create The Nautilus Way: Write Your Way Free, a powerful and proven method that helps women break emotional patterns, process grief, rewire limiting beliefs, and intentionally shape who they're becoming. Her story is one of extraordinary resilience. Raised in poverty in rural Louisiana and a single mother of two at a young age, Marie fought to build a stable life for her family. She eventually left corporate America to pursue her calling—supporting women's healing and studying mind-body psychology. But in 2017, Marie faced unimaginable heartbreak when she suddenly lost her son, just two years after her mother's unexpected death. Instead of letting grief define her, she turned inward, using the same tools she teaches to rise again, rediscover her strength, and choose life with intention. This lived experience, combined with years of transformational coaching, makes her uniquely equipped to support women with authenticity, empathy, and hard-won wisdom. Today, Marie leads life-changing women's retreats, including one exclusively for grieving mothers, in her newly built Gulf-front home in Florida—a sacred space for healing, confidence, and personal awakening. Her work consistently helps women reconnect with forgotten parts of themselves, uncover subconscious patterns, and step forward with renewed peace, purpose, and self-trust. Marie Crews is a certified health and wellness coach, a successful entrepreneur, and the best-selling author of Even When…She Rose—a testament to her unwavering commitment to rising through adversity and helping others do the same. This episode dives into: ✨ The healing power of journaling and emotional expression ✨ Rewiring limiting beliefs and breaking generational patterns ✨ Navigating profound grief and loss authentically ✨ Mind-body practices for trauma and emotional release ✨ Rebuilding identity after loss and life transitions ✨ The transformative impact of women's retreats and community If you're seeking healing, clarity, or a deeper connection to your own inner wisdom, Marie's story—and her work—will inspire you to rise, no matter what you've endured.

Do you ever feel like you don't quite fit in as a Highly Sensitive Person? Maybe you compare your needs to everyone else's and think: “Why am I like this? Why do I need so much rest?

Am I a useless vet?Sounds like a silly question that a new grad might ask, right? But imposter syndrome doesn't care about your credentials. It whispers that you're a fraud, that you got lucky, that one day everyone will realise you don't belong. Or maybe you don't feel like an imposter - but you beat yourself up after a case goes wrong. You replay every missed diagnosis. You hold yourself to an impossible standard, and when you fall short (even slightly), the inner critic shows no mercy.Sound familiar?In veterinary medicine, where perfection often feels like the baseline and the emotional toll runs deep,  these patterns can be exhausting.But here's the truth: you're not the only one who feels this way.In this raw and honest conversation, we unpack:Why imposter syndrome isn't just a new grad thing - it can resurface anytime you step into something new, no matter how experienced or accomplished you are (Just keep listening if you don't believe me)What confidence really looks like - not knowing everything, but being willing to try, learn, and growWhy perfectionism is often at the root of imposter - and what to do about itMaking peace with the inner-criticWhy vulnerability matters A simple mindset shift that can make all the differenceAnd practical strategies to manage imposter feelings You'll hear real stories, mindset tools, and the reminder that feeling “useless” says nothing about you. If you've ever questioned your abilities or felt like you're just pretending to hold it all together - this episode is your mirror.You belong here.

“What if I stop judging myself and let the pieces fall so something better can be built.” Topics Discussed • The messy middle of TTC and IVF recovery • Emotional healing during fertility burnout • Subconscious patterns and self judgment • Frequency shifts and embodied surrender • Radical honesty with yourself during the journey • Letting go of control and rebuilding from a grounded place “You cannot light switch your body. You cannot snap your fingers and erase decades of patterns.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… This episode takes you straight into the heart of the messy middle, that uncomfortable space between who you were and who you are becoming. If you feel like life is a wobbly tower of blocks and you are using every toe, finger, and nose hair to hold it together, you are not alone. This is the moment where surrender feels impossible and control feels safer, yet your body is quietly asking for stillness, honesty, and trust. We explore the deep emotional patterns that rise when everything starts to fall apart, the subconscious urge to fix what is not fixable, and the beauty that comes from letting yourself “do nothing” for a moment. Yes, I even talk about my husband sleeping his way to genius and how your soul babies probably wish you would slow down long enough to hear yourself think. This conversation invites you to soften.

Why does happiness always feel one step away? In this episode, we welcome back positive psychology expert Jodi Wellman to explore why so many of us keep “moving the goalposts” on our own success, and learn why accomplishments that once thrilled us eventually feel ordinary. Jodi breaks down why we convince ourselves that one more thing — a new job, a relationship, a move, a big purchase — will finally deliver lasting happiness. Using Gabe's own podcasting journey as a case study, the conversation exposes a mental trap familiar to anyone who's ever felt like their wins “don't count” for long. But this episode isn't just about naming the problem — it's about fixing it. Jodi offers practical, research-backed strategies to help you savor your accomplishments, find a healthier balance between ambition and contentment, and stop letting your inner critic erase your progress. Listener takeaways why humans believe they're always “one thing away” from feeling fulfilled what the hedonic treadmill is and how it sabotages our happiness how to balance ambition with genuine joy so you can grow without feeling miserable If you've ever wondered, “Why don't I feel successful?” this is the episode that can finally help you understand. “We like to dupe ourselves. It's just one of the features of our psychology. It all comes down to this idea called the hedonic treadmill. We think, and we go for it. We'll buy the pill, we'll make the move, we'll take the job, we'll buy the car, we'll do a thing. And usually it's external stuff, but sometimes it's internal, like, I will become the person that I've been meant to be and that will make me happy. But then, because we adapt so well, this is this hedonic adaptation, hedonic treadmill, we adapt so reliably, damn it. And we end up, over time, some of us shorter than others. Naturally, meh. Okay, well, how come it's not doing it for me anymore?” ~Jodi Wellman, MAPP Our guest, Jodi Wellman, MAPP is a speaker, author, and facilitator on living lives worth living.

Why does the thought of intimacy make you want to hide under the covers...alone? If you're a midlife woman who's lost that loving feeling, you're not broken (you're just like the rest of us) and we've been playing by the wrong rules. In this conversation, intimacy expert Susan Bratton exposes the truth about female arousal that nobody taught us (especially not those s3x-ed classes back in the day). We dive deep into why it takes women 20 minutes to achieve what men accomplish in 2 minutes, why "duty booty" is destroying relationships, and how to transform obligation into genuine desire.  Susan shares her personal journey from a s3xless marriage at 42 to having the best intimacy of her life at 64. We explore practical solutions like the yon! massage, why scheduling intimacy isn't unromantic, and which tools and supplements actually help. Plus, Susan reveals why everything you've seen about s3x is built for male pleasure and how to flip the script…for good.  This conversation will change how you think about your body, your relationships, and your right to pleasure: it's not about not loving your partner or not wanting connection, it's about that disconnect between what you wish you felt and what you actually feel.     Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Episode Links   http://orgasmicintercouse.com/  https://drivedesire.com/  http://soulmateembrace.com/  https://betterlover.com/  Learn More About Susan Bratton   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/susanbratton  Website ➜  https://susanbratton.com/   Thank you to our show sponsors!

High performers often feel intense pressure to live up to their potential, leading to burnout, decision fatigue, and emotional exhaustion. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals the neuroscience behind this pattern—and how identity-level recalibration begins to set you free.High-capacity humans rarely talk about it, but many silently feel the psychological weight of having “so much potential.” The pressure isn't imagined—it's wired. In this episode, Julie Holly unpacks the neuroscience and psychology behind why high performers feel responsible for more than they ever asked for, leading to burnout recovery questions, decision fatigue, role confusion, and internal identity drift.Julie explains the four core mechanisms behind the pressure of potential:Perfectionism as protection (through the lens of Michael Jordan).Predictive processing—your brain anticipating expectations before anyone speaks (illuminated by Taylor Swift).Attachment patterns that taught you capability equals connection.Identity formation shaped around function instead of essence.Using light-touch examples from Michael Jordan's pursuit of excellence and Taylor Swift's early-career instinct to protect her creative identity, Julie shows how even globally visible leaders experience the same psychological patterns that high performers live out internally—just without the arena lights.This is not behavior advice or another reframed mindset tactic.This is Identity-Level Recalibration—the root-level transformation that makes every other tool finally work again.Because your exhaustion isn't from doing too much—it's from becoming who everyone else needed you to be.You'll walk away with a framework that finally explains why pressure lands in your body so quickly, why expectation feels like responsibility, and why your capacity can feel like a burden instead of a blessing.Micro Recalibration:Where is your system still predicting pressure that hasn't arrived? Name one place you're preparing for expectations no one actually voiced.Micro Recalibration for Teams:What pressures are we operating under that no one explicitly named—and what clarity would set us free?If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Breathwork is one of the most powerful tools in biohacking, yet most people only experience the surface level techniques. When you use it the right way, breathwork can upgrade your brain, strengthen your nervous system, improve sleep, and open awareness states that amplify longevity and human performance. This episode features Ishan Shivanand, a globally celebrated yogic scholar, mental health researcher, and bestselling author who was raised in the monasteries of India under Mahasiddha Avdhoot Shivanand. He carries one of the world's oldest Shiv Yogi lineages and created the clinically validated Yoga of Immortals method, which has helped millions reverse anxiety, depression, insomnia, burnout, and trauma. Together, Host Dave Asprey and Ishan reveal how lineage level breath practices shape consciousness, neuroplasticity, and emotional resilience. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey and Ishan explore the full arc of ancient yogic training, from how breathwork directs prana through the body to how chanting alters brain states, emotional regulation, and nervous system function. They break down the role of visualization in building neuroplasticity, the symbolism and physics of sacred sound, and the science of moving awareness through the spine. The conversation moves into rarely discussed topics including the yogic art of choosing one's death, how advanced practitioners leave the body, the meaning of immortality in spiritual traditions, and how dharma shapes whether long life becomes a blessing or a burden. You will hear how ancient monks trained through martial arts, mantra repetition, sacred geometry, gold symbolism, alchemy, and the cultivation of higher states of consciousness, and how these practices compare to modern biohacking tools like fasting, ketosis, nootropics, supplements, sleep optimization, functional medicine, and mitochondrial support. This episode shows you how Eastern mystical training and Western performance science intersect and how these teachings fit naturally within the Smarter Not Harder framework. This conversation also covers plant medicine, psychedelics, and the difference between ancient ceremonial use and modern recreational misuse. You will hear how lineage based training uses breath, awareness, and mantra to alter redox balance, regulate the autonomic nervous system, strengthen energy production, and shape brain optimization at the deepest levels. You'll Learn: • Why breathwork changes brain states faster than basic meditation and how it drives neuroplasticity • How chanting affects the vagus nerve, emotional regulation, and nervous system balance • How visualization strengthens nerve pathways, trauma resolution, and sleep optimization • The meaning behind sacred sound, vibration, and the origins of consciousness in ancient lineage training • Why monks train with martial arts, mantra repetition, and sacred geometry to enhance awareness • How yogic philosophy approaches immortality, choosing one's death, and leaving the body consciously • Why dharma shapes whether long life becomes a blessing or a curse • How plant medicine differs when used ceremonially versus recreationally • How to integrate these teachings into your own longevity, performance, and human potential strategy Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. New episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (BONUS). Dave asks the questions no one else will and gives you real tools to become stronger, smarter, and more resilient.
