Send us a textKaryl Bell's motorsports journey is the perfect blend of family legacy, entrepreneurial spirit, and unwavering determination. From her earliest memories at Lebanon Valley Dragway in upstate New York, where her mother serves as assistant track manager and her father races, Karyl has turned a childhood passion into both a competitive career and innovative business ventures.Beginning in junior dragsters at age eight, Karyl  quickly proved her talent by capturing a track championship in just her second year. Today, she competes at the highest levels of bracket racing, seamlessly switching between Super Pro and Super Comp divisions - sometimes within the same weekend. Her mechanical knowledge runs deep, working alongside her father to maintain their race cars and understand every aspect of vehicle performance.What truly sets Karyl apart is her response to adversity. After surviving a dramatic barrel-roll crash that destroyed her Nova, she returned to racing with renewed perspective rather than fear. This experience directly influenced her decision to establish KB Performance Center, a trackside business at Lebanon Valley Dragway selling essential safety equipment from helmets to fire jackets. This brilliant innovation means racers who fail technical inspection can purchase required safety gear immediately rather than missing competition.Perhaps most remarkably, Karyl  balances her racing life with owning a dance studio - two worlds that couldn't seem more different yet complement each other perfectly through their seasonal schedules. This diversity in her professional life reveals a multi-faceted woman who refuses to be limited by conventional expectations.Throughout her career, Karyl  has encountered gender discrimination but transformed these challenges into motivation. When a professional racer once dismissed her with "girls don't race," she responded by proving him wrong repeatedly on the track. Her racing philosophy combines strategic planning with mental discipline: "Don't overthink" and "Always have plans A, B, and C" for each run down the quarter-mile.Follow Karyl's continuing journey on Instagram @buckwild198 or Facebook as she pursues her passion for racing while building businesses that support and strengthen the motorsports community. Her story reminds us that with dedication and perseverance, we create our own definitions of success both on and off the track.Support the showFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/womensmotorsportsnetworki/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/womensmotorsportsnetwork/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ TIKTOK: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ X: https://x.com/IWMANation FACEBOOK Personal Page: https://www.facebook.com/melinda.ann.russell

In this episode of Men of Influence, host Tim Holloway sits down with Steve McNitt, a seasoned high school teacher, coach, therapist, and leadership consultant with over 30 years as a licensed clinical social worker and 40 years in youth ministry with Young Life. Steve shares his inspiring journey from a Catholic upbringing to a deeply personal faith sparked at age 15, emphasizing God's unwavering faithfulness through life's ups and downs, including church hurt and personal challenges. As a husband of 38 years, father of two, and author of a book on Romans 8, Steve offers practical wisdom on balancing faith, love, and purpose to live a life of influence.Steve explores the importance of growing in both grace and knowledge, drawing from 2 Peter 3:18, and likens spiritual balance to a four-legged chair; physical, emotional, spiritual, and social. He shares actionable habits like daily devotionals, journaling, and reading the Gospels to foster exponential spiritual growth, while stressing the power of awareness and intentional time with God. Steve also discusses his book, which unpacks Romans 8's promises of no condemnation and inseparable love, offering readers tools to reduce anxiety and deepen faith. With heartfelt stories from his work with at-risk youth and personal anecdotes, Steve encourages men to embrace their brokenness, serve with love, and lead by example, inspiring others through authentic influence rather than perfection.Key Takeaways:Balanced Faith: Grow in both grace and knowledge (2 Peter 3:18) to avoid legalism or complacency, ensuring a grounded spiritual life.Daily Habits: Use devotionals like Jesus Calling or My Utmost for His Highest, journal, and read scripture daily to stay connected to God's purpose.Four-Legged Chair: Balance physical, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of life, prioritizing God's kingdom first (Matthew 6:33).Authentic Influence: Lead through love, compassion, and service, not just knowledge, as people are drawn to genuine care (John Maxwell: “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care”).Romans 8 Power: Embrace God's promises of no condemnation and inseparable love to reduce anxiety and live confidently in faith.“God's been faithful the whole time, even when I haven't been. If I'm going to have a relationship with Him, I have to show up.” - Steve McNittLearn more about Tim through the following links:FacebookPodcasting group

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche delve into the challenges of burnout and overwork, discussing how developers can regain control over their time. By emphasizing the importance of finding balance in software development, they offer practical techniques for staying productive without compromising well-being. Rethinking Hustle Culture in Software Development “Productivity isn't about motion. It's about momentum—in the right direction.” – Rob Broadhead The myth of endless hustle runs deep in tech. Developers often mistake working late nights for progress—but it usually leads to burnout and declining code quality. The key to achieving balance in software development is recognizing when it's time to slow down. Warning Signs You're Losing Balance as a Developer Declining communication or code quality Constant frustration or tunnel vision Difficulty disconnecting from work Feeling like you're always behind The solution often lies not in working harder—but in pausing with purpose. Using Strategic Pauses to Regain Balance in Software Development One of the most effective ways of finding balance in software development is to embrace micro and macro pauses. These breaks help reset your mindset and restore focus. Micro breaks: Pomodoro sprints, quick walks, or code reviews Macro breaks: Weekend retreats, sabbaticals, or screen-free days Michael notes that even seasoned pros struggle with stepping away. But taking intentional time off isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. Developer Tip: Code Commit and Mental Reset When feeling overwhelmed, commit your progress, walk away, and revisit it later with a fresh mindset. This small act can realign your thinking and productivity. The Role of Pivoting in Achieving Work-Life Balance in Tech Sometimes a pause isn't enough—you need to pivot. And in the context of finding balance in software development, pivoting means realigning your goals, projects, or even your work relationships. Types of pivots discussed: Switching tools or tech stacks Killing ineffective features Saying no to toxic clients Shifting job roles or responsibilities When to Pivot for Developer Success Are you stuck solving the wrong problem? Are sunk costs keeping you on the wrong path? Is your current direction still aligned with your goals? If not, it may be time to pivot and prioritize balance. Tools and Tactics for Finding Balance in Software Careers To close the episode, Rob and Michael outline several tools for creating balance in your developer workflow: Timeboxing and Pomodoro sessions Weekly journaling to identify stress triggers Asynchronous communication to reduce meetings Workspace adjustments for deep work vs. ideation Optimize Your Work Environment for Software Development Balance Experiment with different workspaces for different tasks—coding, brainstorming, or planning. These physical cues help your brain switch gears and stay fresh. Final Thoughts: Building a Sustainable Career in Software Development Finding balance in software development is more than a productivity hack—it's a mindset shift. Whether you're pausing for five minutes or pivoting away from a demanding client, your ability to reset and refocus determines long-term success. When developers learn to pause with purpose and pivot with intention, they don't just write better code—they build better careers.

Welcome back to RNT Fitness Radio. Today, I'm joined by Coach Ivan, who's flown in all the way from Australia to spend a few days with us here in the UK. While he's over, we decided to hit record on a conversation we've been having behind the scenes — all about the concept of performance without pressure. For most of my life, I've thrived on pressure. Big goals. High stakes. All-or-nothing thinking. It's driven a lot of what I've achieved. But recently, I've started to question whether that pressure is still serving me — or if it's just a part of an old identity I've outgrown.

What if you could find a way to get everything done, love your family well, make space for self-care, and not feel like you're one small step away from losing your marbles? What if your daily chaos could actually become your rhythm of grace? In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Scott—entrepreneur, wife, and mom of four—who shares how she turned her busy life into a system of sanity. From managing a business with a toddler on her hip (now she runs two businesses with a house full of teenagers) to creating daily rhythms that fuel her soul, Rebecca brings practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement. You'll hear about how her epic failure to handle things well (we've all been there!) helped her discover a system that empowers women to manage the multiple roles and responsibilities we have, no matter our age or stage of life. Plus, we talk legacy—how small, kind moments at home can shape big futures. If you’re craving balance, purpose, and a little peace in your hustle, this episode is just what you needed.

In part two of their conversation, Mark and Anton continue their wide-ranging conversation on personal and professional growth. They discuss raising capital, private equity, real estate trends, and the power of simplicity in business. The episode touches on mental health, the influence of tech leaders, political and economic shifts, and the role of authenticity, mentorship, and self-awareness in building a meaningful life. Takeaways Mitigate downsides when pursuing personal growth. Innovative learning can be achieved through seminar formats. Wealth creation is often overlooked in traditional education.

Self-awareness is crucial for personal and professional development. Mentorship plays a vital role in learning and growth. Adult ADD can manifest without hyperactivity. Raising capital requires a strong team and strategy. Selling is about trust and collaboration, not just transactions. Protecting downside risk is crucial for investors. Creating value in real estate involves vision and insight. Visionary thinking is a key superpower for investors. Social media has a profound impact on society's dynamics. Technology is evolving faster than regulations can keep up. Political views can blend capitalism with social responsibility. Education plays a crucial role in shaping employment opportunities. The future of employment is tied to economic growth and manufacturing. Self-awareness is key to personal growth and happiness. Positivity can have a ripple effect on the community. The economy is poised for meaningful change in the coming years. Real estate trends are shifting towards retail and lifestyle centers. The impact of social media on society is a significant concern.

Therapy provides a unique space for individuals to process their thoughts and emotions without judgment. Breaking the stigma around mental health is crucial for societal acceptance. Authenticity and acceptance are vital for personal and communal growth. Life is inherently challenging, and we should strive to make it easier for ourselves and others.

CAUTION: If you are taking antidepressants or any other psychiatric medication, do not stop or adjust your dosage without first consulting a qualified healthcare professional. Coming off these medications without proper guidance can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms. Always seek professional advice before making changes to your treatment.   Did you know that nearly one in five UK adults - and almost one in four women - are currently taking antidepressants? Yet according to my guest this week, the fundamental theory behind these prescriptions may be built on remarkably shaky ground. Joanna Moncrieff is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London, consultant psychiatrist for the NHS, and the author of the groundbreaking book, Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth. In our thought-provoking conversation, Joanna explains how the widely accepted belief that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance or serotonin deficiency has little scientific evidence to support it. This theory, which became popularised in the 1990s through pharmaceutical industry marketing, has fundamentally changed how we view our emotions and mental health. Joanna and I discuss: Why the difference between antidepressants and placebos in clinical trials is just two points on a 54-point depression scale - a remarkably small difference that may not be clinically significant How the diagnosis of depression itself is subjective and based on criteria that Joanna describes as "completely made up", rather than objective biological markers The concerning side effects of SSRIs that are often underreported - including emotional numbness, sexual dysfunction that can persist even after stopping medication, and in some cases, an increase in suicidal thoughts How pharmaceutical marketing campaigns in the 1990s fundamentally changed our cultural understanding of depression from a natural human response to life circumstances to a "chemical imbalance" requiring medication Why withdrawal from antidepressants can be extremely challenging, particularly at lower doses, and why reducing medication requires careful, gradual reduction that many doctors aren't trained to manage Whether visiting your GP should be your first option when experiencing low mood, and how alternatives like exercise, mindfulness and addressing underlying life issues might be more effective Throughout the episode, Joanna encourages us to view our emotional responses as meaningful signals rather than medical disorders that need chemical correction. She believes we've been disempowering people by teaching them that negative emotions represent a deficiency rather than a natural human experience that can guide us toward necessary changes in our lives. This conversation isn't about telling anyone what to do with their current medication, but rather providing information to make truly informed decisions. If you or someone you know has ever taken antidepressants or been diagnosed with depression, this episode offers a perspective that could fundamentally change how you view mental health treatment in the future.

Her take on mental and physical health, and how they're non-negotiable for true success, is something every high-achiever needs to hear. If you've ever felt like you had to choose between being powerful or peaceful… ambitious or authentic… this conversation will meet you where you are. This one's for the women rewriting the rules.
