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. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to perform at a high level without constantly chasing, grinding, or forcing outcomes. It's a reflective and real conversation, and I hope it sparks something for you too. Let's dive in.   Chapters: 00:00 Performance Without Pressure 02:59 The Journey of Self-Discovery 10:13 The Importance of Enjoying the Process 18:26 Redefining Goals and Expectations 26:12 Finding Balance in Performance and Enjoyment 30:34 Intelligent Training and the Role of Coaching 31:45 Rediscovering Joy in Fitness 32:42 Identity Shifts and Personal Growth 33:37 The Balance of Performance and Enjoyment 36:01 The Pressure of Performance Metrics 37:40 The Importance of Rest and Recovery 38:11 Finding Fun in Work and Life 41:31 The Journey Over the Destination 43:08 Reframing Health and Fitness Goals 46:41 Gratitude and Perspective in Fitness 51:08 Experimentation in Training and Nutrition 55:23 Urgency in Weight Loss vs. Performance Goals   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

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. Private equity can be misunderstood; it's about individual investment. Investment strategies should focus on simplicity and clarity. Raising capital requires a compelling narrative and confidence. 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. Change is often perceived as chaotic, but it's a necessary part of growth. Education's value is subjective and varies for each individual. 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. Self-awareness and mental fitness are as important as physical health. Finding balance in life is essential for overall well-being.

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.

In this enlightening discussion, I sat down with Melo Calarco, a seasoned mindfulness coach and author renowned for his work on overcoming burnout and achieving balance. In this episode, we explore the multifaceted nature of burnout, delving into Melo's personal journey of cycling 30,000 kilometres around the world and how this challenging experience shaped his understanding of resilience and self-belief. Alongside his exploration of the critical role mindfulness and gratitude play in combating burnout, this conversation offers invaluable insights into identifying the signs of stress and how to shift your mindset towards a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. What You'll Learn: Understanding Burnout: Melo provides a comprehensive explanation of burnout, beyond the work environment, emphasising that it's largely about chronic stress. Key Signs and Symptoms: Early indicators of burnout such as physical tension, emotional withdrawal, and behavioural changes. The Role of Mindfulness: How integrating mindfulness into daily practice can serve as a powerful tool to manage stress and enhance mental clarity. Stress Responses: The distinction between challenge and threat perceptions of stress and their impact on motivation and behaviour. Practical Mindfulness Techniques: Simple yet effective strategies for implementing mindfulness and meditation into a busy schedule. Gratitude and Positivity: Exploring how gratitude can rewire the brain for positivity, counteracting stress and promoting better mental health. Key Takeaways: Burnout extends beyond the workplace; it is the result of chronic, unmanaged stress which can accumulate from various life sources. Self-awareness is crucial in identifying stress signs early. Listening to your body's cues and recognising emotional shifts can prevent deeper burnout. Mindfulness and meditation are not just practices for moments of stillness. They can be woven into daily routines to enhance focus and reduce anxiety. Adopting a challenge-oriented mindset, supported by self-belief and past experiences, provides a protective buffer against burnout. Simple practices like daily gratitude can have profound impacts on mental health, promoting a positive outlook and resilience.

Podcast Notes Episode 467 Finding Balance Through the Enneagram, with Marilyn Vancil Host: Brian Miller, Executive Director of CAM Guests: Marilyn Vancil In this insightful conversation, Brian speaks with Marilyn Vancil, a leading Christian voice on the Enneagram and author of Self to Lose, Self to Find and Beyond the Enneagram. Marilyn shares how she first encountered the Enneagram and how it became a transformative tool for self-understanding and spiritual growth. Together, they explore the model's ability to uncover deep internal patterns, guide personal development, and reveal the adapted self we often cling to for survival. The discussion also delves into how each Enneagram type can grow by identifying personal patterns, breaking unhealthy cycles, and embracing authentic, God-given identity. The episode culminates in practical advice for coaches and individuals using the Enneagram in spiritual formation and personal transformation. Key Highlights Marilyn Vancil's Origin Story with the Enneagram: She was introduced to it via cassette tapes over 30 years ago and initially dismissed it, but quickly became captivated once she recognized herself in the type descriptions. Head, Heart, and Gut Centers: Brian and Marilyn discuss how understanding one's dominant center—and the one most repressed—can clarify personal tendencies and avenues for growth. Enneagram as a Tool for Transformation: Marilyn emphasizes that the Enneagram is not about labeling but about identifying patterns formed as survival mechanisms, which can be released in favor of authentic growth. Growth Through Arrows and Wings: Movement along the Enneagram's arrows (toward stress or security) and exploring wings helps individuals mature, especially when they begin accessing repressed emotional or instinctual parts of themselves. Practical Coaching Use: Marilyn outlines how she works with clients—starting with identifying type through self-reflection (not just assessments), then exploring internal narratives, strengths, and areas of stuckness. Takeaways The Enneagram is about patterns, not boxes: Your type reflects habitual survival strategies—not a fixed identity—which can be transformed through awareness and intention. True growth often involves reclaiming repressed parts: For many, this means learning to trust previously undervalued aspects like the gut or emotions. Coaching with the Enneagram should be relational and reflective: Tests can be helpful, but lasting insights come from dialogue, story, and pattern recognition. Growth involves risk and discomfort: Letting go of adapted identities can feel unsafe, but it opens the door to living as your true self. Wings and integration lines are growth maps: Exploring adjacent types (wings) or your integration direction (arrows) can unlock deeper understanding and resilience.

Transcript:Ca: La primavera havia arribat a la ciutat, i l'oficina resplendia amb la llum clara que entrava per les finestres grans.En: Spring had arrived in the city, and the office gleamed with the clear light streaming through the large windows.Ca: Les plantes als escriptoris estaven més verdes que mai, i el perfum lleuger de les flors del carrer s'escolava dins.En: The plants on the desks were greener than ever, and the light scent of flowers from the street wafted in.Ca: Era un dia especial per a Núria.En: It was a special day for Núria.Ca: Avui, tenia la seva revisió anual de rendiment

demostrar que era capaç i mereixia un ascens.En: She wanted to prove that she was capable and deserved a promotion.Ca: Tots al despatx sabien que Núria era molt ambiciosa, però també que aquest afany li prenia molta energia.En: Everyone in the office knew that Núria was very ambitious, but they also knew that this drive took a lot of energy from her.Ca: Les seves estones de descans eren poques, i sovint quedava fins tard per assegurar-se que tot estava perfectament.En: Her breaks were few, and she often stayed late to ensure everything was perfect.Ca: A vegades, aquest ritme afectava la seva relació amb els companys de feina.En: Sometimes, this pace affected her relationship with her coworkers.Ca: Pau, assegut darrere de la seva taula, revisava les notes.En: Pau, seated behind his desk,

aconseguit i del que podem millorar.En: "Relax, we're just going to discuss what you've accomplished and what we can improve."Ca: " Pau la va convidar a seure.En: Pau invited her to sit.Ca: Van parlar

What if everything you've been taught about disease is fundamentally wrong?Dr. Thomas Lodi takes us on a profound journey into a healing paradigm that reimagines how we understand health and recovery. Rather than viewing conditions as enemies to battle, he reveals why our symptoms are actually adaptive physiological responses—our body's intelligent attempt to maintain balance despite challenging circumstances.This eye-opening session demolishes conventional thinking about cancer treatment, parasites, and chronic conditions. Dr. Lodi explains why the "war on cancer" metaphor fails patients and how identifying the underlying causes of imbalance leads to true healing. He thoroughly addresses questions about schwannomas (neural sheath tumors), parasite protocols, blood in stool, and prostate conditions with practical, actionable guidance.One of the most illuminating segments tackles the relationship between cancer and glucose. Dr. Lodi clarifies why elimination strategies miss the point—every cell needs glucose, including healthy ones—and why balanced nutrition with healthy fats is critical for creating cell membranes that maintain the electrical charge necessary for health. This understanding turns conventional cancer nutritional advice on its head.Throughout the session, Dr. Lodi emphasizes patient empowerment: "This is your journey. The doctor can't walk it for you. I can be your guide, but you must walk it yourself." He details the importance of biological dentistry, lymphatic therapy, frequency treatments, and emotional healing as integral parts of a comprehensive approach.For anyone facing health challenges or seeking deeper understanding of how our bodies actually work, this conversation offers not just hope but a radically different framework for achieving lasting wellness.
