Today, Heather Creekmore explores the concept of sustainability in our approach to weight loss, health, and spiritual growth. She unpacks how our cultural obsession with quick fixes and urgent physical transformation is often driven by fear, impatience, and even greed—rather than lasting, loving stewardship of our bodies. Heather Creekmore shares her own experiences with unsustainable health practices, lessons learned through her journey, and why so many common diet strategies fizzle out in the long run. She encourages listeners to shift focus toward habits that will support lifelong health—mentally, physically, and spiritually—rather than falling for every “latest trend” diet that comes along. Key topics in this episode: What does true sustainability look like in health and weight loss? Why rapid body change can often signal unsustainable and unhealthy patterns The dangers of fear, urgency, greed, and lust driving our self-care choices How to align your goals with patience, love, and long-term thinking Questions to ask yourself: Is this habit something I can keep up for life? How to invite God into your health and wellness decisions rather than just following the cultural noise Take the Next Step: Join the 40 Day Journey! Are you ready to rethink your approach and start building sustainable, God-honoring habits around your body image and health? Heather Creekmore is inviting you to join her 40 Day Journey beginning right after Easter in April! This journey dives deep into sustainable practices for your mind, body, and soul while helping you process body image from a biblical perspective. You’ll find actionable guides, daily support, and a like-minded community ready to walk this out together.

I brought Paul Buono back for a more "hinged" conversation and for a new bi-weekly segment I'm calling "FitBusters".This episode gets into one of the hottest debates in nutrition right now — seed oils vs. beef tallow. Are seed oils actually destroying your health? Is beef tallow the answer? We break it down without the fear-mongering, share our own real experiences with food, and land somewhere that might surprise you: it's about balance, not extremes.We also get personal about alcohol — Paul opens up about his past relationship with it and why moderation isn't just a buzzword, it's a practice. Then we shift into one of the trendiest pieces of fitness gear right now: the weighted vest. Do they actually help your bone density, or is it just another thing to spend money on? We dig into the research, talk Wolf's Law, and share what we think actually moves the needle when it comes to building stronger bones long-term.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Podcast Chaos03:04 Life Updates and Personal Growth06:02 Transitioning to Fitness Topics09:06 Debate on Seed Oils vs. Beef Tallow12:06 Health Implications of Fats15:01 Anecdotal Evidence and Personal Experiences17:51 Finding Balance in Diets23:09 Navigating Alcohol and Health24:04 The Moderation Mindset25:39 The Weighted Vest Trend28:02 Bone Density and Weighted Vests31:49 Top Strategies for Bone Health35:31 The Psychology of Movement40:00 Final Thoughts on Health and Wellness

Continuing with part 2 of this series, Alison goes deeper into her ongoing journey within the health and fitness realm, specifically reflecting on her training regimen and its evolution over time. In this episode Alison aims to provide a behind-the-scenes look at her practices while remaining transparent about her process.As the fitness landscape shifts, the traditional notions of intense workout regimens are being challenged by a variety of new trends, particularly in boutique fitness. Although traditional workouts undeniably deliver results, the current consumer environment can be overwhelming, leading many to start and stop various programs—a pattern Alison repeatedly sees as "yo-yo exercising." The essence of this episode emphasizes a return to basics and how maintaining consistency with fundamental movements can yield better long-term results.Alison candidly discusses the internal struggles we all face regarding motivation and the misconception that workouts should always be enjoyable or entertaining. As someone who has dedicated her career to health and fitness, she confesses that even on days when her enthusiasm wanes, she recognizes the importance of her fitness routine as a non-negotiable component of her life.Alison shares her personal commitments, particularly since entering her 50s, and how her mindset toward training has changed. Embracing the reality of aging, she's become increasingly aware of how her routines need to adapt. Factors like recovery, intensity, and structured training are now fundamental aspects of her fitness approach. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing our body's capability to become more efficient through strength training and how intensity can significantly impact our metabolic processes.Alison also touches on the significance of finding a training program conducive to longevity and overall health—as well as the common misconception that comfortable exercise suffices as an adequate fitness strategy. Instead, she challenges listeners to consider the necessity of both intense workouts and moderate activities to achieve a holistic approach to fitness.HIGHLIGHTS:1:44 The Changing Landscape of Fitness6:24 My Personal Fitness Journey16:04 The Importance of Structure16:57 Navigating Age and Fitness28:56 Hormonal Balance and Exercise30:55 The Myth of Busy Schedules34:18 Finding Balance in Training37:23 Key Tips for Effective Trainingmentioned in episodeDr. Jade Teta: https://www.jadeteta.comDr. Stacy Sims: https://www.drstacysims.comSam Miller: https://sammillerscience.comMADabolic fitness: https://madabolic.comSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024 ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution

Setting finite goals and detaching from endless desires reduces stress and increases fulfillment. Using nature and hobbies as a way to recharge and gain perspective. Practicing compassion in financial decisions aligns wealth with personal values. Automating and cutting non-essential expenses frees up resources for what truly matters. Regularly reviewing your big picture keeps you aligned with your core values. Guarding your mind from negativity and distraction is crucial for mental clarity and focus. Building wealth deliberately involves minimizing unnecessary stress and suffering. Applying philosophical insights can lead to a more intentional and satisfying life.   Chapters 00:00 The Quest for Meaning in Wealth 05:40 Setting Finite Goals and Finding Balance

Navigating the Marketing Agency Maze: Strategic Matchmaking with Behdad JamshidiIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Behdad Jamshidi, the Founder & CEO of CJAM Marketing, to discuss the critical challenges business leaders face when trying to scale their marketing efforts. With over 160,000 agencies in the market, founders often find themselves trapped in a cycle of "agency hopping" that drains resources and kills momentum. Their conversation dives into the necessity of strategic matchmaking, the value of intentional leadership, and how to find the less than 5% of agencies that actually align with an entrepreneur's specific business goals.Protecting Your Growth: The Engineering Approach to Marketing PartnershipsFor many high-achieving founders, the struggle isn't a lack of marketing options, but a lack of clarity on which specific agency "flavor" fits their current objective. Behdad explains that the marketing industry is highly fragmented, with agencies specializing in everything from granular SEO to high-level brand storytelling. A common mistake is hiring an agency based on a polished sales pitch rather than a proven track record within a specific niche or budget bracket. By acting as a fractional CMO and partner matcher, strategic consultants help business owners bypass the expensive trial-and-error phase, ensuring that the agency selected has the exact infrastructure required to scale that specific business model.Effective marketing leadership requires an objective view of the "entire board," moving beyond tactical execution to focus on foundational strategy. Business owners often jump into paid ads or social media campaigns before their internal systems—like lead follow-up and CRM management—are ready to handle the influx. This creates a "leaky bucket" scenario where marketing spend is effectively wasted. Strategic matchmaking involves auditing these internal processes first, then pairing the business with a partner who understands the nuance of their industry and the specific stage of the entrepreneurial journey they are navigating. This alignment ensures that marketing becomes a predictable engine for growth rather than a series of disconnected experiments.Ultimately, the goal of a strategic partnership is to build long-term value and trust, which is often missing in the transactional world of digital marketing. The matchmaking process relies on deep vetting and a massive network of pre-screened providers, allowing founders to access high-level talent without the risk of a "bad hire." As companies scale, their marketing needs evolve, and having a partner who can facilitate those transitions ensures that the brand remains consistent and the momentum continues. By prioritizing the relationship and the strategic fit over the latest marketing fad, entrepreneurs can reclaim their time and focus on leading their organizations with confidence.About Behdad JamshidiBehdad Jamshidi is the Founder & CEO of CJAM Marketing, where he serves as a strategic marketing consultant and agency matchmaker. With a background in engineering, Behdad brings a technical, process-driven perspective to the creative world of advertising. He specializes in identifying the perfect marketing partners for growing businesses, helping them build scalable, high-performance marketing ecosystems while protecting them from poor investments.About CJAM MarketingCJAM Marketing is a strategic consultancy that helps businesses find and manage the right marketing partners. By leveraging a vast network of vetted agencies and providers, CJAM Marketing removes the guesswork from the hiring process. The firm provides fractional CMO services, auditing internal processes and aligning business goals with the specific technical capabilities of marketing specialists to ensure sustainable, long-term growth.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeCJAM Marketing Official WebsiteBehdad Jamshidi on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsThe Agency Hopping Trap: Why businesses fail when they hire based on sales pitches rather than strategic, technical fit.The Kaizen Philosophy: Applying continuous, incremental improvement to both personal leadership and business operations.Tactical Hobbies for Leaders: How hands-on activities like painting or music help founders reset their mental state for better decision-making.The 5% Rule: Navigating the crowded market to find the small fraction of agencies that are actually capable of delivering ROI.Radical Transparency: How standardized referral fees and engagement models ensure unbiased marketing recommendations.ConclusionThis conversation with Behdad Jamshidi underscores that marketing success is less about the "what" and more about the "who." By finding the right strategic partners who align with your mission and stage of growth, you can transform marketing from a source of frustration into your most powerful tool for impact.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

What if ADHD isn't just about focus… but about a nervous system stuck in survival mode? Therapist Jennifer Free explains why many ADHD brains are living in chronic fight-or-flight—and why productivity tools like planners and to-do lists often fail. In this episode, Jennifer shares how her own late ADHD diagnosis in graduate school led her to rethink everything she was taught about ADHD treatment. Instead of adding more systems and strategies, she began focusing on nervous system regulation. When the body is dysregulated, executive functioning drops, urgency increases, and people get stuck in a familiar ADHD pattern: on → crash → repeat. Jennifer introduces the concept of “alignment with reality” — learning to match your internal state to what's actually happening instead of fighting reality with thoughts like “I'm behind” or “there's not enough time.” We also explore ADHD in women and motherhood, the cultural pressure to constantly produce, and how productivity for productivity's sake can disconnect us from joy, presence, and the people we care about most. Jennifer shares practical ways to regulate in everyday life, including recognizing signs of dysregulation, slowing the body to signal safety, and identifying the beliefs that keep us stuck in urgency. If you constantly feel rushed, overwhelmed, or trapped by your to-do list, this episode will change how you think about ADHD, productivity, and regulation.

OVERVIEW: In this episode, Ashley and Gabe Cox discuss the intricacies of goal planning, balancing personal and professional life, and the importance of defining one's 'why' in the pursuit of success. Gabe shares her three-part system for achieving goals: See it, Plan it, and Do it, emphasizing the need for flexibility and self-care throughout the process. The conversation highlights the challenges faced by high-achieving women and the necessity of setting boundaries to maintain mental health and well-being while striving for personal and professional goals. Takeaways It's essential to define your 'why' to stay committed to your goals. Balance looks different for everyone; it's about finding peace in your priorities. Action builds confidence; you can't gain confidence without taking steps. Planning is crucial, but be prepared for flexibility in your approach. Embrace discomfort as a sign of growth and progress. Set boundaries to protect your time and energy. Recognize that change is hard, but it's a necessary part of growth. Focus on one to three main goals to avoid overwhelm. Celebrate small victories to maintain motivation. Self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity for sustainable success.

Ultimately, the conversation advocates for a compassionate and empowering approach to emotional healing.Key TakeawaysThe importance of showing up for others from a centered place.Therapy can be more effective when it allows for emotional exploration without a fixed outcome.Understanding and processing emotions can lead to deeper healing.Witnessing someone's grief can be more powerful than trying to alleviate it.Grief often encompasses a range of emotions, including anger and resentment.Building trust in one's emotional process can shorten the duration of grief.Allowing emotions to arise without judgment fosters resilience.Co-regulation between therapist and client creates a safe space for healing.Emotional processing can be facilitated by focusing on bodily sensations.Finding balance in emotional expression is key to mental well-being.Chapters00:00 - The Power of Presence and Non-Judgment02:53 - Exploring Alternative Therapeutic Approaches05:50 - Meeting People Where They Are09:08 - Navigating Anxiety and Emotional States11:47 - Understanding Grief and Its Complexities15:04 - The Role of Witnessing in Healing17:48 - Building Trust and Resilience in Emotions20:45 - The Journey Through Grief and Acceptance23:41 - Finding Balance in Emotional ProcessingIf you wish to connect with Lawrence Joss or any of the PA-A community members who have appeared as guests on the podcast:Email - familydisappeared@gmail.comLinktree: https://linktr.ee/lawrencejoss(All links mentioned in the podcast are available in Linktree)Connect with Brea Segger:https://www.breasegger.com/Please donate to support PAA programs:https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=SDLTX8TBSZNXSsa bottom partThis podcast is made possible by the Family Disappeared Team:Anna Johnson- Editor/Contributor/Activist/Co-hostGlaze Gonzales- Podcast ManagerConnect with Lawrence Joss:Website: https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/Email- familydisappeared@gmail.com

породични кувар који је дуго био заборављен.En: In her solitary search through the pantry, Milena accidentally found a heavy, leather-bound book - the family cookbook that had long been forgotten.Sr: Срце јој се коракнуло од узбуђења и страхопоштовања.En: Her heart skipped with excitement and reverence.Sr: "Драгане, погледај ово!En: "Dragane, look at this!"Sr: " узвикнула је, упутивши позив свом рођаку и пословном партнеру.En: she exclaimed, calling out to her cousin and business partner.Sr: Драган је, и сам намрштен од традиција, узео књигу у руке, опрезно окрећући странице.En: Dragan, himself frowning with tradition, took the book in his hands, carefully turning the pages.Sr: "Ово су бакини рецепти.En: "These are grandma's recipes.Sr: Не смемо их променити," рекао је зналачки, закључивши да је њихова снага управо у обичајима које је бака неговала.En: We mustn't change them," he said wisely, concluding that their strength lay precisely in the customs their grandmother had cherished.Sr: С друге стране просторије Јована, њихова пријатељица, осетила је да нешто магично лебди у ваздуху.En: On the other side of the room, Jovana, their friend, sensed that something magical hovered in the air.Sr: Њена духовна природа је одмах претпоставила неку већу повезаност, више значење овог открића.En: Her spiritual nature immediately assumed a greater connection, a deeper meaning behind this discovery.Sr: "Поново отворити нешто заборављено може донети неочекиване промене.En: "Re-opening something forgotten can bring unexpected changes."Sr: " Њене речи звучале су као упозорење.En: Her words sounded like a warning.Sr: Милена је стајала између модернизације и традиције.En: Milena stood between modernization and tradition.Sr: Жељела је иновирати и привући нове госте.En: She wanted to innovate and attract new guests.Sr: Драган је желео да очува наследство.En: Dragan wanted to preserve the heritage.Sr: Јована такође има свој опрез према мени, бојећи се нарушавања судбинског тока.En: Jovana was also cautious about the menu, fearing the disruption of the fateful course.Sr: Док је падао снег, растали су се на искушењу.En: As snow fell, they parted ways with temptation.Sr: Међутим, неизвесност је прекинута када се током најгушћег радног времена угасила струја.En: However, the uncertainty was interrupted when, during the busiest working hours, the power went out.Sr: Све је прекинуто, а муштерије су и даље дуго хтеле своју дневну дозу кофеина.En: Everything was halted, yet the customers still longed for their daily dose of caffeine.Sr: Јована је само шаптала, упирући прстом ка прозору: "Видите?En: Jovana merely whispered, pointing to the window: "See?Sr: Судбина има свој начин.En: Fate has its way."Sr: "Милена није имала другог избора него да се врати традиционалним методама.En: Milena had no choice but to return to traditional methods.Sr: Брзо је загрејала воду на старој пећи од гвожђа и грациозно наставила да служи кафу.En: She quickly heated water on the old iron stove and gracefully continued to serve coffee.Sr: Људи су били задовљни, а изненадна ситуација донела је топлину свима.En: The people were satisfied, and the sudden situation brought warmth to everyone.Sr: Кад се све смирило, Милена је схватила важност равнотеже.En: When everything calmed down, Milena realized the importance of balance.Sr: Од тада, одлучила је да полако уводи нове рецепте али прво кроз специјалитет дана, поштујући тако и традицију и новине.En: From then on, she decided to slowly introduce new recipes, but first through the day's special, thus respecting both tradition and innovation.Sr: Током овог искуства, схватила је да комбиновање старог и новог доноси најбоље резултате.En: Throughout this experience, she realized that combining the old and the new yields the best results.Sr: Драган и Јована су јој стајали уз бок, у миру на који су коначно дошли након дугих расправа.En: Dragan and Jovana stood by her side, at peace, finally reached after lengthy discussions.Sr: Са смирајем дана, роастерије је постала место генерација, прича и осмеха.En: With the day's end, the roastery became a place of generations, stories, and smiles.Sr: Ту су се стварали нови рецепти и очувала стари дух бакиног наслеђа.En: New recipes were created there, and the spirit of her grandmother's legacy was preserved.

Hyejin asked.Ko: 진수는 긴 설명 끝에 입을 열었다.En: After a long explanation, Jinsu finally spoke.Ko: "아, 나는 사실 침묵의 서약을 잘못 이해했어!"En: "Oh, I actually misunderstood the vow of silence!"Ko: 그제야 폭소가 터졌다.En: Laughter erupted then.Ko: 진수는 바로 모든 것이 마침내 웃음거리라는 것을 깨달았다.En: Jinsu realized it was all finally a matter of humor.Ko: 모든 사람은 짐짓 조용해졌다가 다시 웃음을 터뜨렸다.En: Everyone pretended to be quiet again and then burst into laughter.Ko: 이후 진수는 혜진과 활기찬 대화를 나누면서 오랫동안 느끼지 못한 해방감을 느꼈다.En: From then on, Jinsu found a sense of release she hadn't felt in a long time while having lively conversations with Hyejin.Ko: 그녀는 비로소 깨달았다.En: She finally understood.Ko: "때로는 혼돈 속에서 평화를 찾을 수도 있구나."En: "Sometimes you can find peace amidst chaos."Ko: 이 경험 덕분에 진수는 유연한 마음가짐으로 돌아갈 수 있었다.En: Thanks to this experience, Jinsu was able to return with a more flexible mindset.Ko: 이제 그녀는 혼돈 속에서도 고요를 찾는 방법을 알았다.En: Now she knew how to find quiet even within chaos.Ko: 진정한 평화는 고요한 침묵에서만 오는 것은 아니었다.En: True peace didn't only come from silent tranquility.Ko: 소란스러운 삶 속에서도, 마음은 여전히 평화로움을 찾을 수 있었다.En: Even in the hustle and bustle of life, the mind can still find peace.

In this powerful continuation of our two-part series on mental health and Olympic athletes, we chat with Olympic sprinter Kendall Ellis and Olympic pentathlete Samantha Schultz for an honest, grounded conversation about what it truly means to perform at the highest level. Kendall and Samantha open up about the pressures that come with elite competition, the stigma they faced when seeking help, and the emotional toll of constantly striving to appear “strong.” They reflect on their early careers, share the strategies that helped them stay grounded, and explore why vulnerability and support systems are essential for athletes at any stage. The conversation also dives into identity, transitions, and the often‑overlooked mental health challenges that arise when injuries, retirement, or major life changes shift an athlete's sense of self. Kendall and Samantha offer compassionate, hard-earned insights for young athletes, families, coaches, and anyone navigating big goals while protecting their well‑being. Join us for a thoughtful, encouraging discussion that reminds us that mental health is just as vital as physical health—on and off the field.

Adam explores the complex relationship between money and yoga, addressing the common perception that charging for yoga corrupts its authenticity. He shares personal experiences and insights on the necessity of money as a means of energy exchange, the historical context of yoga's accessibility, and the implications of consumerism in modern yoga practices. Keen emphasizes the importance of trust, accountability, and the teacher's role in navigating these dynamics, ultimately advocating for a balanced approach to money in the yoga community.  Adam Shares ·      Money is often seen as corrupting yoga, but it's a necessary exchange. ·      Many yoga teachers struggle with the idea of charging for their services. ·      Offering yoga for free can lead to a lack of commitment from students. ·      Money can democratize access to yoga, making it available to more people. ·      The historical guru-shisha relationship was exclusive and selective. ·      Modern yoga allows for more freedom and choice for students. ·      Accountability is important in the teacher-student dynamic. ·      Consumerism has influenced the way yoga is marketed and taught today. ·      Teachers have a responsibility to create a supportive environment. ·      Navigating money in yoga requires a balance between accessibility and quality.

The Drywall Podcast: Episode 162 The European Pioneer: Automatic Tools, Global Markets, and Finding Balance with Marvin   After months of scheduling and a little persistent "bugging," we finally sat down with a true titan of the trade. In Episode 162, we are joined by Marvin Maatita, a man whose name is synonymous with the evolution of drywall finishing in Europe. From his home in Holland, Marvin shares his journey as a pioneer who helped introduce automatic finishing tools to a continent steeped in traditional methods. We trace his impressive career path working with industry giants like Columbia Taping Tools, Drywall Europe, CanAm, and most recently, TapeTech. Marvin has sat at the helm of large-scale operations, but today, he's found a different kind of success—the kind that comes with working solo and prioritizing what matters most: life and his six-year-old daughter. In this episode, we discuss: The unique landscape of the European drywall market and how it differs from North America. The "Consultant Era": Why major tool companies seek Marvin's expertise to break into European territories. The shift from managing big companies to finding peace. A look at the various finishing styles across the pond. Whether you're a tool junkie or just looking for some perspective on the work-life balance, this conversation with one of the most respected names in the game is one you can't miss on this, the 162nd, episode of The Drywall Podcast.   Episodes in the month of February are brought to you by CanAm Tools.  Find out more by visiting www.canamtool.com  

What if the internet's obsession with faces is wrecking our relationship with health? We crack open looks maxing, the “sharp jawline at any cost” trend, and zoom out to see the real drivers of progress: sleep, stress, hormones, and habits you can actually live with. With returning guest and coach Alex Allen, we cut through the noise around cottage cheese hype, bodybuilding's peak-week fantasy, and the subtle ways social media pulls our insecurities for clicks.We get candid about the messy middle: perimenopause, PCOS, and hormonal changes that skew hunger, disturb sleep, and complicate weight goals. Calories still matter, but “eat less, move more” collapses without context. You'll hear a practical framework for sequencing health: fix sleep before pushing volume, use strength training as your anchor, prioritize protein and fiber to steady appetite, and build stress outlets that aren't food. We also tackle accountability versus comfort in therapy and coaching—how to hold the line on outcomes without shaming the person.If you've ever chased a photo-ready body and wondered why it felt impossible to maintain, this conversation will reset your expectations and your toolkit. Expect real talk, a few unhinged laughs, and grounded strategies you can start today: set performance goals, protect bedtime like a training block, and measure wins you can repeat. Health isn't a costume for a highlight reel—it's a life you can keep showing up for. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a saner take on fitness, and leave a review with the biggest myth you're letting go of after listening.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the challenges many face in their healing journeys, particularly when they feel they are doing everything right but still not seeing results. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the mind-body connection, the dangers of over-optimization, and how tracking health metrics can lead to hypervigilance. Ali encourages listeners to trust their bodies and find balance in their health practices, while also addressing the role of uncertainty in healing. Takeaways Many patients do more than they need to for healing. The brain's perception of danger affects bodily functions. Over-optimization can lead to increased stress and symptoms. Tracking health metrics can shift from helpful to harmful. Hypervigilance can create a cycle of anxiety and symptoms. The body is capable of healing without constant intervention. Trusting your body is crucial for effective healing. Uncertainty is a natural part of the healing process. Less monitoring can lead to better health outcomes. Healing requires a nuanced approach, not a one-size-fits-all solution Sound bites "Our mind and body are not separate." "The body can heal from crazy things." "Data is not the enemy."
