You don't have burnout. Burnout is the symptom — not the root. If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly “needed,” this message challenges the story you've been telling yourself. The real issue isn't laziness, weakness, or even stress. It's distraction, misplaced responsibility, and carrying burdens God never assigned you. In this message, we unpack: Why busyness often disguises itself as faithfulness How inheriting other people's anxiety steals your rest Why Jesus repeatedly withdrew — even when people needed Him The biblical rhythm for real rest that restores focus and alignment If you've been running on empty, this isn't a message about doing less — it's about doing what actually matters.

Jose Berlanga explains how he created his own real estate market, why focus beats growth, and the costly mistakes developers make chasing trends.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Jose Berlanga, a veteran real estate developer and entrepreneur, to break down how he created demand where none existed—and why focus, patience, and clarity matter more than chasing hot markets.Jose shares how he started developing inner-city Houston neighborhoods when they were considered “unbuildable,” why fear actually guided his best decisions, and how saturating a small area with consistent product helped him establish pricing power and brand recognition long before the market caught up.The conversation dives deep into developer psychology, long real estate cycles, why chasing higher price points almost derailed his business, and the hard-earned leadership lessons he learned building (and rebuilding) teams. Jose also delivers one of the clearest frameworks you've heard on hiring, focus, and avoiding shiny object syndrome as an entrepreneur.This is a masterclass in long-term thinking for developers, investors, and business owners.

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear white noise. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor.

Are you ready to stop whining and start winning?In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, we're diving deep into why whining is holding you back, and how optimism is the key to creating your dream reality. If you want to learn how to reframe your mindset, boost your chances of success, and hear my personal mantra for overcoming adversity, this episode is for you!As an entrepreneur, you know the odds are stacked against you. So how do you keep pushing forward when it feels like the deck is always against you?It starts with a mindset. Winners don't dwell on problems—they focus on solutions. When you focus on problems, you manifest more of them. But when you focus on solutions, you open the door to possibilities. Instead of whining about what went wrong, winners ask, “What's next?” Learn from the experience, sure, but move forward with optimism.Focus on the solution, not the problem. Whether in business, relationships, or personal growth, focusing on how you can improve creates more opportunities for success.Let's be real: whining is just another form of excuse-making. “It's too hard,” “I don't have time,” “The market's not right”—sound familiar? Winners know these are just fear-based thoughts holding you back. Instead of whining, winners take ownership and responsibility, like Jocko Willink's philosophy of extreme ownership.If you want to win, stop giving in to excuses and start owning your results. Winners don't let anything stand in their way—least of all themselves.So, how do you shift from a whiner to a winner? It's all about daily habits. Here are three practical tips to get started:Start your day with gratitude: Each morning, write down 5–10 things you're grateful for. This simple practice sets the tone for optimism.Hydrate and energize: Get your body moving with something that gets your blood flowing, like a quick rebounder workout, and rehydrate with green juice or mineral water.Reframe challenges into opportunities: When a problem arises, ask yourself, “How can I turn this into a positive?” instead of focusing on what went wrong.By adopting these habits, you'll naturally start to see challenges as opportunities for growth. And remember, winners visualize their success before it happens.Remember, optimism is a tool for resilience and long-term success. With the right mindset, you'll not only bounce back from adversity faster, but you'll stay in the game longer—and ultimately, you'll win.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

If holiday meals make you miserable, and for many women in midlife, it has nothing to do with calories or self-control.  In this episode of Flipping 50, know how hormonal changes, reduced digestive enzymes, and a lifetime of exposure to certain foods can turn traditional holiday meals into a perfect storm for bloating, inflammation, and digestive distress. You'll hear why foods like gluten, dairy, and even eggs can suddenly become harder to tolerate, especially when they're layered together at one meal.  Holiday meals make you miserable when digestion, hormones, and food sensitivities are ignored—but don't have to when you know how to plan differently.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Philippe Sterling look at a familiar Psalm which states, “Be still and know that I am God.” This is used by contemplative mystics who are into “centering” prayers and such, but how might this Psalm be actually speaking about the Second Coming and judgment?

Send us a textThis one is something that I've been picking up more on as I get older (because I need it) “Focus on adding good habits, not breaking bad habits.”  When we focus on the positive things we want to do or create, instead of what we want to get rid of - it becomes a lot easier to keep the good ones going. Plus, we will see that the bad habits are simply going to be less and less of an impact on our lives. I need to connect with this one for sure. It's on my to-do list.

Vinny DelGuidice teaches us how to build a sustainable food blogging workflow using batching, planning ahead, and reusing what already works. Vinny DelGiudice is the creator of Always From Scratch, an Italian-American family food blog he started six years ago. He is a professional photographer, dad, and husband who focuses on developing nostalgic family recipes from his and his wife's childhood, meals that make it easier for families to sit down at the table and enjoy time together. Burnout is not a requirement for success. Vincent shares how he stopped forcing creativity, built a repeatable workflow, and learned to do less while growing more. This episode is a reality check for food bloggers who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in constant decision mode. Key points discussed include: Choose your creative time: You will make better content faster when you stop forcing creative work into the wrong hours. Batching saves your sanity: Planning shoots and tasks in advance removes decision fatigue and keeps momentum going. Plan tomorrow before today ends: Knowing exactly what you will work on next eliminates wasted mental energy. Reuse what already works: Series content and proven formats outperform constant reinvention. One shoot multiple assets: Shooting photo and video together cuts production time in half. Not every platform deserves you: Focus on where your audience actually is and outsource or skip the rest. Comparison kills momentum: Staying in your own lane protects creativity and consistency.

Send us a textWhat if the real reason you feel stuck is not motivation, talent, or discipline, but your ability to focus?In this episode, we break down why unbreakable focus is the skill separating people who move forward from those who stay stuck. We explain how distraction, poor sleep, and weak attention habits quietly sabotage your goals, relationships, and confidence. We reframe focus as a trainable life skill, not a personality trait, and show why mastering it changes everything. If you want a future that looks different than your present, this episode is your starting line.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#425 | Are You Actually Protecting Your Mental Health? - https://apple.co/4s9AMR6#447 | The Dark Side of Consistency: When Sticking to the Plan Holds You Back - https://apple.co/4pPMjmX #462 | How to Set Up Your Workspace for Safety & Success - https://apple.co/48TAoP9 Evolve Together Experiences:

Send us a textThis one I know will help me as I know I need to “Focus on one habit at a time.” I usually focus on many things at once and really none of them get accomplished. If they do, it takes a long time and probably it's not done as well as if I focused on just that. It's the same principle of focusing on small, simple things - uncomplicating it from becoming too large or too many. We can build many new habits if we focus on one at a time. Love this quote from the book on this one - “It's easy to keep adding one new habit at a time, but it's almost impossible to focus on many new habits at once.” That is something for me to zero in on me for sure.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

One snowy Christmas Eve in Texarkana, Neighbor Doug settled into bed in his snazzy Superman Footie PJs (Amazon affiliate link), still buzzing on Joe's Mom's eggnog… Today's special holiday episode recounts a completely original tale of Doug and the money lessons learned when he's visited by three ghosts—past, present, and future. Especially when it comes to past credit mistakes, what's done is done. Whatever method works best for you (debt snowball or debt avalanche), do that one. Come to terms with your bad money habits and realize that you can't outearn them. It's on you to fix the bad money habits of your past. Focus on what's current and fix what needs fixing today. Don't get caught in the trap of lamenting your past nor only planning for the future. Our only truly limited resource is time. Balance living for today with planning for the future. Remain in the present – especially when spending time with your loved ones – while keeping a vision in mind for your longer-term future plans. Be intentional about your plans and actions today and timeline what you want to achieve in what time you have remaining. Communicate on a regular basis with your “team” (loved ones) about your financial goals, progress, and situation. We recommend scheduling a weekly Family Budget Meeting. Automate as many of your financial decisions as possible today so you never have to think about them again in the future. Commit to paying off that mortgage early, ramp up those retirement savings contributions, stack those Benjamins for your kids' college savings. Decide where you want to be financially in the future; face reality of where you are currently (we like our sponsor, Monarch Money, to track where you are); and take the necessary step to make that future a near certainty. Remember that time is the one commodity that's finite for all of us. Value your time and experiences while staying responsible to your present and future self. Remember and learn from the sins of your past to build on your strengths; focus on living in the present and building your financial foundation; and head into the future with more confidence than Joe's Mom's Neighbor Doug during the annual Sun's Out, Guns Out El Camino Competition at the Sizzler.

Thousands of Californians who lost their homes in January's devastating wildfires are still waiting to rebuild, with insurance gaps, infrastructure delays, and red tape all having slowed the process. And for many homeowners, a new deadline is approaching as mortgage forbearance periods expire, raising the prospect of making payments on homes that no longer exist. Rachel Jonas and Rob Fagnani, who lost their Pacific Palisades home in the fire, join the Rundown to explain why they are now advocating for disaster mortgage relief while they work toward rebuilding. Martin Scorsese presents The Saints on FOX Nation, a groundbreaking series that reimagines the lives of the saints through a contemporary lens, aiming to connect with today's audiences in a fresh and culturally relevant way. FOX News contributor and theologian Jonathan Morris joins the Rundown to discuss the journey between doubt and devotion explored in The Saints. He reflects on the challenges and insights of telling their stories, while also addressing the inclusion of the first "millennial saint," common misconceptions, and the overarching themes woven throughout the series. Plus, commentary by Vice President of Communications for Focus on The Family, Paul Batura. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"I'm a fan of quality versus quantity and reading one book all year, but mastering everything that you have learned in that book." In this episode, Heather shares her top six books for growing as a parent, business owner, and person in 2026. But these aren't just any old books to add to your stack; they're the books she keeps on hand to read and reread because they're a wealth of knowledge and insight that can change your life, if you integrate their wisdom.

Your identity is going to change. And when your identity changes, you need to change your habits." ✨ Essential conversations that parents need to have ✨ Addressing brain imbalances to help your children thrive ✨ Building rich relationships and embodying generosity as a value Grab copies of these books now: ✨ Abundant Ever After by Cathy Heller ✨ Dying to Be a Good Mother by Heather Chauvin ✨ Atomic Habits by James Clear ✨ A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson ✨ Rich Relationships by Selena Soo ✨ Disconnected Kids by Dr. Robert Melillo ******* For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me for a one-on-one Time & Energy Audit, a focused session designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life.
