Welcome to episode 212 where we talk about 'Making Sense of Mind Chatter'. Ever feel like your brain just won't stop talking? That constant swirl of thoughts—whether it's fear, doubt, self-criticism, or overwhelm—is what I like to call mind chatter. In this episode, I break down that chatter into three distinct voices: the sleepy sloth, the yappy dog, and the wise owl. Each one has something to say—and believe it or not, they all matter. Together, we explore how to identify which voice is speaking up in your mind, how each one feels, and how to respond with more clarity and confidence. You'll learn that none of these thoughts make you broken or weak—it just means you're human. And by recognizing these voices instead of reacting to them, you gain more emotional maturity, more peace, and more power to create the mission and life you truly want. Whether you're preparing to serve, currently on your mission, adjusting to post-mission life, or supporting someone who is, this episode will help you understand your brain better—and maybe even befriend that noisy mind of yours. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

In this episode, Mark sits down with Russel Dubree, founder of Performance Faction and former agency owner who built and sold a multi-million dollar creative business. They talk turkey (literally), before diving into the hard-won lessons of entrepreneurship—what it means to grind, the challenges of hiring and leading a team, the highs and lows of partnerships, and what ultimately led to Russel's decision to sell his agency and pursue business coaching.In this conversation, Russel shares the real story of growing a business from nothing—starting with a $500 credit card charge and a dream, all the way to a $5M agency with 16 employees. He opens up about poor hiring decisions, burnout, navigating family and business, and the wake-up call that helped him redefine success. Now, as a coach, he helps agency leaders find their purpose, build resilient teams, and grow with clarity and intention.Takeaways:Early business lessons often come through trial by fire.Good partnerships require alignment, clarity, and tough conversations.Hiring slow (and right) is one of the most important decisions in growing an agency.Don't build to the price—price to the value.Growth without process can create chaos, not success.Purpose—not profit—will keep you going long term.Leadership means owning your shortcomings and creating a culture that retains top talent.Time with family can't be an afterthought. Balance comes with communication.Saying "no" is often more important than saying "yes."Success doesn't mean burnout—it means building something meaningful, on purpose.Connect with Russel:performancefaction.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/russeldubreeLearn More: Visit TheFridayHabit.com for show notes, resources, and to download the guide on working on your business rather than in it.

Send Us a Message!You've felt it—that moment when you realize you've been pouring from an empty cup for so long that your body is screaming for rest. In this deeply personal episode, Isabel opens up about hitting her breaking point after months of overwork, sharing the raw truth of what happens when we prioritize productivity over presence.This isn't just another conversation about self-care—it's a radical exploration of how our nervous systems hold the key to authentic spiritual connection and how societal programming keeps us trapped in cycles of depletion.Through her research into polyvagal theory and the concept of "human givers versus human beings," Isabel offers a revolutionary perspective on burnout, particularly how it manifests differently in those socialized with feminine energy. She and Christine delve into what it truly means to balance masculine and feminine energies (hint: it's not about being 50/50, but finding your unique harmony), how to recognize when your nervous system is dysregulated, and practical ways to come back into balance without abandoning yourself.Along the way, they cover:The cost of prioritizing productivity over presenceEmotional and physical signs of depletionRadical self-care and nervous system healingPolyvagal theory and its role in burnout recoveryHuman givers vs. human beingsImpact of societal conditioning on our feminine energyHarmonizing masculine and feminine energies (it's not a 50/50 split)Practical tools for nervous system regulation and self-reconnectionHealing as uncovering your true nature, not fixing yourselfReclaiming intuition, creativity, and purposeAnd more!Whether you're currently in burnout, recovering from it, or hoping to avoid it altogether, this conversation offers both wisdom and practical tools to help you reclaim your sacred self.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Regan Caruthers, a former Silicon Valley executive turned spiritual teacher, who shares her remarkable story of transformation—from trauma and corporate burnout to deep spiritual alignment.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days. Let me ruffle a few feathers real quick: Hard work isn't the issue. Direction is. If pure hustle were the magic ticket to success, every deadline-smashing, all-nighter-pulling powerhouse would be running the show. But we're not. Instead, we're grinding like a one-legged cat in a sandbox (seriously, think about that visual) and still wondering why it feels like we're going nowhere fast. You've achieved a great deal in your career, and on paper, it appears impressive. But deep down, you might feel like you're climbing the wrong wall. Maybe you've built a successful business, but it's draining you. Or perhaps you're juggling multiple responsibilities, hoping they won't come crashing down. It's not about being lazy or falling behind. It's about being caught in the burnout loop, a cycle where ambition meets exhaustion and clarity seems to vanish. Today, we're naming that loop, calling it what it is, and flipping the script. Clarity isn't at the bottom of another to-do list—it's forged when you decide that burnout isn't your badge of honor anymore. You have the power to change your narrative. Let's go deep.

Physician coach Nicole Perrotte and physician advocate and physical therapist Kim Downey discuss their article, "Love, empathy, and the triangle of exhaustion: Why humanity must come first." Nicole introduces her powerful framework, the Triangle of Exhaustion, which describes the profound fatigue experienced by caregivers, physicians, and parents of atypical children. This exhaustion is composed of three parts: the emotional fatigue from constant advocacy, the social isolation from feeling alone, and the relentless responsibility of care with no off switch. Nicole and Kim argue that our society often makes empathy conditional, reserving it for those with a specific label or diagnosis. They propose a fundamental shift toward unconditional kindness. The conversation offers three actionable solutions to break the cycle: normalize differences, create judgment-free zones, and lead with love, providing listeners with a new lens for fostering genuine human connection.

What happens when AI decides who gets promoted and who gets fired? Blake and David dive into the shocking reality that 60% of managers now use AI for HR decisions, with over 20% letting algorithms make final calls without human oversight.

Episode 289: The Bear Season 4 – Chaos, Dissonance, and Burnout in the Kitchen We're back, chefs. Season 3 of The Bear was one of our most downloaded episodes last year—so naturally, Adam Franchuch and Paulina Schemanski return to the studio to dissect Season 4. They bring the heat (and the industry cred) as a sous chef and GM of one of Michigan's top restaurants. This time, we talk:
Daily AI use among desk workers has surged dramatically, with a report from Slack indicating a 233% increase since November. While 60% of these workers now regularly utilize AI tools, the integration has led to significant boosts in productivity and job satisfaction. However, the report also highlights concerning trends, such as increased burnout among those heavily engaged with AI, with 88% more likely to experience burnout and twice as likely to consider quitting compared to their peers. This dependence on AI is weakening psychological safety within teams, raising alarms about the long-term implications of AI adoption in the workplace.The rise of shadow AI is another pressing issue, as employees increasingly use unauthorized AI tools, outpacing IT teams' ability to evaluate these applications for risks. A report from ManageEngine reveals that over 80% of technology leaders feel overwhelmed by the rapid adoption of these tools, with significant concerns about data leakage and cybersecurity. Despite the rapid integration of AI into business operations, many companies still lack clear governance policies, and a majority of employees are requesting more training on AI usage risks. This gap in governance and training is particularly pronounced in small businesses, where only 14% of employees use AI daily.Confidence in AI initiatives among C-suite executives is declining, with only 58% trusting their company's AI strategies, down from 69% the previous year. This decline is particularly notable among CEOs, whose confidence dropped from 82% to 49%. In contrast, chief human resource officers and chief operating officers reported increased confidence, reflecting a focus on internal execution and workforce preparation. The report also highlights a worrying skills gap, with only 55% of chief technology officers believing their teams possess sufficient AI knowledge to navigate its risks and opportunities.Amid these challenges, Microsoft has announced a $4 billion initiative to improve AI education across the United States, aiming to train millions in effective AI usage. This initiative aligns with a broader movement among tech companies to incorporate AI tools into educational settings. As Microsoft integrates AI deeply into its ecosystem, clients will increasingly expect their teams and partners to keep pace with these advancements. The overarching trend suggests that organizations must not only adopt AI technologies but also develop governance frameworks and training programs to manage the complexities and risks associated with AI.

“Very often, doctors try to suppress what they feel or don't even have the vocabulary to describe their emotions,” says Professor Alicja Galazka of the University of Silesia, an observation based on decades of work with physicians to enhance their emotional intelligence and resilience. Galazka, a psychotherapist, psychologist, lecturer and coach, believes this deficit is rooted in part in a lack of instruction in the internal and external psychological dimensions of being a medical provider. “There is not enough space created in medical school for teaching and training students about how to deal with their own stress and all of the skills connected to building relationships with patients,” she tells host Michael Carrese. Those same skills are also critical to working effectively as a member of a care team, which is an increasingly common arrangement in hospitals and clinics. Galazka employs simulations, dramatic role-playing, mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other methods in her work with an eye on increasing the emotional agility and sensitivity of her trainees and clients. Tune in to this thoughtful episode of Raise the Line to hear Galazka's ideas on how to reshape medical training, why she is a proponent of narrative medicine, and the merits of embedding psychologists on care teams as a resource for both patients and providers.
