What if the best thing you could do for your gut health... is absolutely nothing?Omar and I are back this week, and yes, he's sporting a bandage under that hat after a gym equipment build gone slightly wrong. But the real topic of this episode came from something I noticed about my own weekend: a slow, restful Saturday and Sunday left me feeling leaner, calmer, and more energized by Monday morning. That led us into a conversation about why doing nothing is one of the most underrated tools for healing your gut and improving functional health overall. I break down how periods of true rest shift your nervous system out of a stressed, sympathetic state and into the parasympathetic state where digestion, gut repair, and healing can actually happen. We talk through the street sweeper analogy, how your body can't clean up and repair when the streets are constantly busy with stress and stimulation. I share how learning to manage my mind and tolerate stillness was actually a huge part of my own healing journey, even before I fully understood why it mattered. We also get practical about how to build in nothing time even as a busy parent or business owner, including small ways to invite your kids into that relaxed, unstimulated state with you. I explain why we build mindset work into our coaching alongside the nutrition and supplement protocols, because you can't fully heal the gut without also addressing how someone is living and thinking day to day.If you've been doing all the right things for your gut health and still not seeing results, this episode might point you toward the missing piece.

Where did Joseph Smith get the idea of temples? It sounds like a simple question, but historian John Hamer’s answer stretches from the Bible to a domed assembly hall in Independence, Missouri, and includes a temple that was called for by revelation, designed by an architect, and never built. In this first conversation of his return to Gospel Tangents, John, a Community of Christ Seventy and co-editor of Scattering of the Saints: Schism Within Mormonism, walks me through the building blocks. https://youtu.be/1r98tnUC5Q4 Don't miss our other conversations with John: https://gospeltangents.com/people/john-hamer/ Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved   John starts with the Bible. Solomon’s temple is only one model, he explains. The New Testament offers another: the idea that the new covenant fulfilled the old, along with the gatherings of the early Christians in the Book of Acts. That second vision, he says, shaped the Kirtland Temple, a building of stacked assembly halls, and it became the model for Community of Christ’s understanding of temples ever after. When Community of Christ members regathered in Jackson County, Missouri, they wanted a temple on that Kirtland model. What they built, John argues, was Frederick Madison Smith’s Auditorium, a massive assembly hall that he sees as a 20th-century version of the Kirtland Temple in everything but name. He points to a published drawing of Joseph Smith III’s temple vision, which looks like the Auditorium with steeples added, and notes that the Auditorium was built without them. Then the story turns. Smith’s assertion of church authority sparked a schism, and a couple thousand members moved to the Temple Lot church, the Hedrickites. Their own temple plans carried the same Kirtland DNA. Otto Fetting’s revelations called for a temple, and an architect gave it a front like a Greek temple, or a bank, and a long, thin plan with one assembly hall stacked atop another. It was never built. The Depression hit, Fetting was pushed out of the church, and the diggers had to fill in the hole they had started. Restoration Groups Idea of Temples Splinter groups from Community of Christ have echoed the pattern since. John describes the Remnant Church’s headquarters in an old high school across from the Temple Lot, with an inner room of Kirtland-style pulpits and a planned community center with a Kirtland-like exterior that was never built. When he asked its president whether that was a temple, the answer was no. Then the conversation moves to Nauvoo, where something new enters. The Nauvoo temple began with Kirtland-style assembly halls but added a basin in the basement resting on oxen, drawn from Solomon’s temple. John connects that shift to the Old Testament practices Joseph Smith was restoring, including plural marriage, and to Freemasonry, whose traditions claim a lineage back to Solomon’s temple. That Nauvoo model, he says, went on to shape the other branches. Together, these threads show two rival visions of what a temple is: the Kirtland idea of a place of assembly, and the Nauvoo idea of an Old Testament-style house of ordinances. This first conversation of the six-part series lays out that fork in the road. Next, in part 2, John turns to the Endowment House and fundamentalist temples, including a pyramid-shaped temple in Utah and a temple whose dome ceiling turns into the night sky.

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever taken a personality quiz just for fun, only to wonder afterward what you're actually supposed to do with the results? Lisa has taken more assessments than she can count—including on the corporate side, where discovering she's an ENFJ made total sense to her. But the real question isn't whether these quizzes are fun. It's whether they can actually help you live a better life. Lisa believes they can, which is exactly why she has clients take a number of assessments before they ever start working together.In this episode, Lisa draws a clear line between talent-based assessments like Clifton Strengths, which measure how you work and get things done, and character strengths, which measure who you are and why something feels meaningful while you're doing it. She introduces the Via Character Strengths framework, developed by psychologists Martin Seligman and Christopher Peterson along with a team of 55 scientists, organizing 24 character strengths into six broad virtues: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. She explains signature strengths—the three to seven strengths that are truest to who you are—and shares research showing that using a signature strength in a new way each day for a week increased happiness and decreased depression for up to six months. Lisa offers three simple ways to spot a signature strength on your own: it feels energizing rather than draining, it feels natural rather than forced, and you lose track of time while doing it. She walks through practical ways this shows up in real life, from choosing a productivity system that fits your strengths, to designing your week around them, to using them as a tiebreaker for hard decisions, to recognizing when burnout comes from spending too much time in your lower strengths. Lisa also gets personal, sharing her own top five signature strengths (gratitude, honesty, love, humor, and creativity) and the story of finally embracing humor publicly in her business after years of hiding it, worried it might undermine her expertise. She closes with a simple challenge: take the free Via assessment, pick one signature strength, and use it in a new way this week.Character strengths, Lisa reminds us, aren't a ranking against anyone else, and they're not about fixing what's broken. They're about noticing who you already are at your best, and building more of your days around that.Key Takeaways:Understand the difference between talent-based assessments like Clifton Strengths and character-based assessments like Via Character Strengths.Discover the six virtues and 24 character strengths that make up the Via framework, developed by Martin Seligman and Christopher Peterson.Learn what a signature strength is and how research links using one in a new way to increased happiness for up to six months.Explore three simple signs you've found a signature strength: it energizes you, feels natural, and makes you lose track of time.See how knowing your strengths can shape your productivity systems, your weekly schedule, and even your hardest decisions.Understand how spending too much time in your lower strengths can be a hidden source of burnout.Hear Lisa's personal story of embracing humor and honesty publicly in her business after years of holding back.Learn how to take the free Via assessment and apply your results with a simple one-week challenge.Thank you for listening!

#130 Ute Trentmann Triggerwarnung: Wir reden über geistliche und seelische traumatische Erfahrungen, die bei Ute in Suizidgedanken, Essstörung, Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung und Depression gemündet haben. Telefonseelsorge: 0800 111 0 111. „Die meisten Jahre waren schwer, heftig, herausfordernd.“ Das sagt Ute Trentmann, heute Anfang sechzig, über ihr bisheriges Leben. Der Grund dafür: Sie ist lesbisch, merkt aber schon sehr früh, dass ihr christlich-konservatives Umfeld das nicht erlaubt. Sie pilgert von einer Veranstaltung zur nächsten, zu Konversionstherapien, zu frommen Ärzten, zu christlichen Therapieeinrichtungen, um von ihrer Homosexualität loszukommen. Nichts hilft. Düstere Glaubenssätze graben sich tief in ihr Herz: „Ich glaube nicht genug.“ „Ich bin einfach falsch.“ Selbst ihre Bilder, in denen sie als Künstlerin ihren Schmerz und ihre Zerrissenheit zum Ausdruck bringt, werden von Christen als satanisch diffamiert. Es folgt eine jahrzehntelange Malblockade. Genauso lang unterdrückt Ute ihre sexuelle Orientierung, heiratet sogar einen Mann. Sie wird krank, sitzt einige Jahre im Rollstuhl. Während es in der Ehe kriselt, outet sich Ute und beschließt, sich aus ihrer Opferrolle zu befreien. Sie steht zu ihrer Identität und erkennt auch, dass Gott, dem sie trotz aller negativen Erfahrungen nie den Rücken gekehrt hat, sie so annimmt, wie sie ist. Mit Ü60 beginnt sie ein neues Leben, schließt sich der queerfreundlichen Kirche UND Marburg an. Heute lebt und arbeitet sie als freischaffende Künstlerin in der Marburger Altstadt. In ihrer Kunst verarbeitet sie auch ihre schlimmen Erfahrungen. Endlich kann und darf heilen, was Menschen ihr angetan haben. Und sie ist dankbar für jeden Kilometer, den sie mit ihrem Hund durch den Wald spazieren oder auf dem Fahrrad zurücklegen kann. --- Bonus-Talk 1: Über veränderte Gottesbilder und was in der Gemeindepraxis helfen könnte Bonus-Talk 2: Über Utes Kunst www.kunst-sucht-liebhaber.de/kuenstler/utetrentmann www.jetztwirdspersoenlich.net

If you ever feel the urge to occupy yourself entirely with learning about the directionality of stroller wheels, is it an all-wheel-drive baby stroller? There's dense literature on Reddit parenting forums. You'll come out more educated on strollers, and equally confused about which one to buy.But that's surface-level content. It gets much deeper. You might stumble on posts asking whether it's normal to hear cries that aren't really there in the middle of the night: phantom cries. They used to call it “insanity of lactation.” Now it's postpartum psychosis, a rare, severe condition distinct from postpartum depression. Postpartum depression is more common, affecting about one in eight people who give birth. Postpartum psychosis affects roughly one to two per 1,000 births. Depression can mean persistent sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion. Psychosis can involve hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized behavior, and it can be intermittent, hidden behind long lucid periods. That distinction has become central to the question surrounding Lindsay Clancy: did she have postpartum psychosis, or didn't she?

After Mother Jones senior reporter Julia Lurie had her IUD removed, she was surprised to find that she felt happier and calmer than she had in years. Her experience made her wonder: What does the science say about how hormonal birth control affects mood? And in a moment when contraceptives are so politicized and misinformation is rampant, is it possible to talk about the side effects of birth control without giving ammunition to those who want to get rid of it altogether?In talking with scientists, doctors, and public health experts, Lurie learns that for years, research has found that people on hormonal contraceptives are much more likely to experience depression, suicidality, anxiety, insomnia, and other effects rarely discussed by the doctors who prescribe them. “For some women, it can be an almost overnight change,” says OB-GYN and contraceptive researcher Dr. Ojvind Lidegaard.This week on Reveal, we explore the gaps in women's reproductive health, from contraceptives to menopause.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Judith Joseph. A psychiatrist, researcher, and author of High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy, joins Rushion McDonald to discuss the often-overlooked condition she calls high-functioning depression. The discussion focuses on successful, productive individuals who appear to be thriving externally but privately struggle with a persistent lack of joy, emotional exhaustion, restlessness, and unresolved trauma. Drawing from her research, clinical practice, and personal experiences, Dr. Joseph explains how many high achievers become trapped in a cycle of constant productivity, using work and accomplishment to avoid addressing deeper emotional wounds. She offers practical strategies for identifying these patterns and reclaiming joy before a mental health crisis occurs. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Raise awareness of high-functioning depression, especially among entrepreneurs, executives, caregivers, and high achievers. Differentiate high-functioning depression from burnout and other mental health challenges. Help people recognize signs of hidden depression before a breakdown occurs. Provide practical tools for restoring joy and emotional wellness. Encourage vulnerability and support-seeking, particularly among those viewed as "strong." Key Takeaways 1. High-Functioning Depression Often Hides Behind Success People with high-functioning depression can maintain careers, businesses, families, and responsibilities while suffering internally. Characteristics include: Constant productivity Difficulty resting Emotional numbness Fatigue Irritability Lack of joy Feeling empty despite achievements Dr. Joseph refers to many of these individuals as: "Humans doing, not human beings." 2. The Core Symptom Is a Lack of Joy According to Dr. Joseph, the defining feature is not necessarily sadness but anhedonia, the inability to experience pleasure or joy. People may notice: Favorite activities no longer feel rewarding Relationships feel emotionally flat Accomplishments provide little satisfaction Life feels like an endless checklist Many dismiss this feeling as simply "adult life," when in fact it may signal depression. 3. Burnout and High-Functioning Depression Are Different Burnout is generally tied to work-related stress. Dr. Joseph explains: Burnout symptoms often improve when work stress is removed. High-functioning depression follows a person everywhere. If symptoms remain even after vacations, weekends, or time away from work, something deeper may be occurring. 4. Productivity Can Become a Mask Some individuals become "pathologically productive." They: Build identities around achievement Seek constant accomplishment Feel uncomfortable when idle Use work as a way to avoid confronting emotional pain Success becomes a coping mechanism rather than a source of fulfillment. 5. Unprocessed Trauma Often Drives Overachievement Dr. Joseph introduces the concept of scarcity trauma. People who grew up with financial instability, insecurity, or hardship may develop a perpetual fear of running out of resources, opportunities, or success. As a result: They struggle to slow down. They remain in a chronic fight-or-flight state. They continuously push themselves despite exhaustion. 6. Reconnecting With Your Past Can Restore Joy A major theme throughout the interview is the value of what Dr. Joseph calls mental time travel. She encourages people to: Look at old photos Reflect on who they were at 18 or 22 Remember activities that once energized them Revisit meaningful relationships and experiences The goal is to rediscover authentic sources of joy and values that may have been lost amid professional success. 7. Music Is a Powerful Healing Tool The conversation highlights how music can: Trigger positive memories Improve emotional regulation Connect different parts of the brain Transport people to happier experiences Dr. Joseph notes that music is even used therapeutically in psychiatric settings because of its healing effects. 8. Joy Must Be Scheduled and Protected Joy should not be treated as something that happens accidentally. Dr. Joseph encourages people to: Put joyful experiences on their calendar Protect personal time like important meetings Create intentional opportunities for happiness She emphasizes that leaders who prioritize joy positively influence everyone around them. 9. Strong People Need Support Too Many high-performing individuals are admired for their resilience but often suffer in silence. The interview stresses that: Strong people need places to be vulnerable. Leaders need trusted advisors. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Rushion McDonald shares his own experience of reaching out for support during a demanding period of his career and how meaningful that guidance became. Dr. Joseph's Five Vs Framework One of the most practical portions of the interview is Dr. Joseph's "Five Vs" approach to reclaiming joy. 1. Validation Acknowledge and name your emotions without judgment. 2. Venting Express emotions through conversation, prayer, journaling, therapy, or trusted relationships. 3. Values Focus on what truly matters rather than only pursuing material success. 4. Vitals Take care of physical health through sleep, nutrition, movement, and protecting brain health. 5. Vision Plan future experiences that create joy and celebrate achievements rather than immediately moving to the next goal. Memorable Quotes On hidden depression "The key symptom is a lack of joy." On the human need for fulfillment "You are built with the DNA for joy. It's your birthright as a human being." On overachievement "I call these people humans doing, not human beings." On success masking pain "You're wearing this mask of productivity." On unhealthy achievement patterns "What are you trying to outrun?" On constant accomplishment "You think you're chasing happiness, but you're really trying to outrun the past." On emotional awareness "If you name it, that uncertainty goes down." On vulnerability "No one knows you're suffering if you don't say anything." On joy and leadership "Joy is very contagious." On support systems "Don't do it alone." Overall Message The interview's central message is that success does not protect people from depression. Many high achievers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and caregivers continue functioning at a high level while quietly struggling with emotional emptiness and loss of joy. Dr. Joseph argues that recognizing these signs early, processing unresolved trauma, reconnecting with personal values, and intentionally cultivating joy can help prevent burnout, breakdowns, and long-term mental health challenges. The ultimate goal is not merely productivity, but a life that feels meaningful, connected, and joyful. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

He argues the honest answer is both, explains how a young adult's fear and a parent's fear trigger each other, and marks where situational stress ends and a treatable disorder begins. He closes with five ways to offer help a resistant young adult can actually accept, including partnering on a task instead of doing it for them. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://parentslettinggo.com/is-your-young-adult-suffering-from-anxiety-or-failure-to-launch/ Quotes to ponder: "Is her failure to launch and dependency on her parents causing her mental health problems, or are the mental health problems at the root of her failure to launch?" "Depression or anxiety and fears of further failure can arise and lead to a level of inaction bordering on paralysis." "Let them know being independent is considering their options, making decisions, and asking for help."

I'm always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   What do the preacher people mean when they say to see what God can do moving through you?  Plus…is there a difference between being in a funk versus falling into a depression?   I'm Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it's my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It's still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

You stayed late again, the service is still short-staffed, and when you finally say something, the answer is: you just need to be more efficient. More resilient. That's the go-to explanation for almost everything hard about residency — but what if the problem isn't your resilience at all? In the finale of Beyond the Match, Mckenzie Roebuck, Carl Engelke, Michael Brinton, and Omer Hassan of CoSEF look downstream at what happens after residents match: working conditions, culture and mental health, the practical barriers that make transferring so difficult, why residents may not trust existing reporting systems, and what real accountability and resident voice would require.Hosts:  Dr. Mckenzie Roebuck, CoSEF BTK Lead, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, mckenzie.rowe@inova.org Dr. Carl Engelke, The Ohio State University, Carl.Engelke@osumc.edu  Dr. Michael Brinton, Medical College of Wisconsin, mbrinton@mcw.edu   Dr. Omer Hassan, University of Calgary/Alberta Children's Hospital, omerh91@gmail.com CoSEF: X @surgedfellows, cosef.org  Learning objectives: Summarize the real problems the congressional report identifies in working conditions, mistreatment reporting, and resident mental health Distinguish necessary difficulty in residency training from preventable system dysfunction, and describe its relationship to resident well-being and reporting Explain the practical barriers to resident mobility, including position availability, training requirements, funding, visa status, professional risk, and stigma Describe local and national accountability mechanisms — including program reporting, GMECs, ACGME pathways, and unions — and the limitations of each Identify strategies to strengthen resident voice, psychological safety, anti-retaliation protections, and institutional accountability rather than relying on individual resilience alone.  References: House Committee on the Judiciary.

It's FOMC decision day. The data says do nothing. Flat curves say mistake. The inflation data doesn't say what hawks think it does. Do policymakers send a message and Trichet themselves? What about the dots? Where do rates go?

In this episode, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and psychiatrist Dr. Matt Bernstein discuss the evolving landscape of mental health treatment. Bernstein shares his extensive experience in psychiatry, particularly with serious mental health conditions, and highlights the limitations of traditional medication approaches. He advocates for a more holistic view that considers metabolic health and mitochondrial function as critical components in understanding and treating mental health issues. The conversation also delves into the benefits of the ketogenic diet, cognitive flexibility, and the complexities of medication management in psychiatric care. In this conversation, Dr. Gladden and Matt Bernstein explore the intricate relationship between mental health, metabolism, exercise, and the role of psychedelics in therapy. They discuss the negative metabolic impacts of psychotropic medications, the significant benefits of exercise for mental health, and the importance of understanding individual genetics in managing depression. The conversation also delves into the role of lactate in brain health, mitochondrial function, and the potential of psychedelic therapies for personal transformation. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for a holistic approach to health that encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

This week on Another F*cking Horror Podcast, Monique and Amy officially embrace spooky season with a haunted hospital basement, a Texas bar owner with a backyard full of alligators and enough deeply questionable decisions to make “just keep walking and don't look back” feel like solid life advice. First, Monique takes us down to Minus Two, the mortuary level of a hospital in Northern England where a porter named Ray has spent more than two decades transporting bodies through a long, windowless basement corridor. Older staff have one very specific rule: never whistle on the way to the mortuary. Ray never did, but that apparently didn't stop something from showing up anyway. One night, the lights change, the temperature drops, his gurney suddenly becomes impossible to push and he hears breathing right beside him. Because apparently transporting dead bodies alone at night wasn't unsettling enough already. Then Amy heads to 1930s Elmendorf, Texas, for the story of Joseph D. Ball, a World War I veteran, bootlegger and owner of the Sociable Inn. And because a regular Texas saloon apparently wasn't enough of a business model, Joe kept a pool of live alligators behind the bar and entertained customers by feeding them live animals. Then women connected to Joe started disappearing. After police finally came asking questions, Joe took his own life, and the investigation that followed uncovered the murders of Minnie Gotthardt and Hazel Brown. But if you've heard the legend of the “Alligator Man” who murdered women and fed their bodies to his gators, things get complicated. Only two murders were confirmed, several supposedly missing women were later found alive and no human remains were discovered in the alligator pond. Over the years, pulp magazines, rumors and increasingly fucked up retellings turned an already horrifying true crime case into something even more sensational. Because apparently two murdered women, a bloody axe and five backyard alligators weren't enough for people. So, yes. This one has haunted hospital corridors, mortuary superstitions, disembodied breathing, murder, alligators, Depression era Texas chaos and the very important reminder that if an older hospital employee tells you not to whistle in the mortuary, maybe just fucking listen.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Judith Joseph. A psychiatrist, researcher, and author of High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy, joins Rushion McDonald to discuss the often-overlooked condition she calls high-functioning depression. The discussion focuses on successful, productive individuals who appear to be thriving externally but privately struggle with a persistent lack of joy, emotional exhaustion, restlessness, and unresolved trauma. Drawing from her research, clinical practice, and personal experiences, Dr. Joseph explains how many high achievers become trapped in a cycle of constant productivity, using work and accomplishment to avoid addressing deeper emotional wounds. She offers practical strategies for identifying these patterns and reclaiming joy before a mental health crisis occurs. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Raise awareness of high-functioning depression, especially among entrepreneurs, executives, caregivers, and high achievers. Differentiate high-functioning depression from burnout and other mental health challenges. Help people recognize signs of hidden depression before a breakdown occurs. Provide practical tools for restoring joy and emotional wellness. Encourage vulnerability and support-seeking, particularly among those viewed as "strong." Key Takeaways 1. High-Functioning Depression Often Hides Behind Success People with high-functioning depression can maintain careers, businesses, families, and responsibilities while suffering internally. Characteristics include: Constant productivity Difficulty resting Emotional numbness Fatigue Irritability Lack of joy Feeling empty despite achievements Dr. Joseph refers to many of these individuals as: "Humans doing, not human beings." 2. The Core Symptom Is a Lack of Joy According to Dr. Joseph, the defining feature is not necessarily sadness but anhedonia, the inability to experience pleasure or joy. People may notice: Favorite activities no longer feel rewarding Relationships feel emotionally flat Accomplishments provide little satisfaction Life feels like an endless checklist Many dismiss this feeling as simply "adult life," when in fact it may signal depression. 3. Burnout and High-Functioning Depression Are Different Burnout is generally tied to work-related stress. Dr. Joseph explains: Burnout symptoms often improve when work stress is removed. High-functioning depression follows a person everywhere. If symptoms remain even after vacations, weekends, or time away from work, something deeper may be occurring. 4. Productivity Can Become a Mask Some individuals become "pathologically productive." They: Build identities around achievement Seek constant accomplishment Feel uncomfortable when idle Use work as a way to avoid confronting emotional pain Success becomes a coping mechanism rather than a source of fulfillment. 5. Unprocessed Trauma Often Drives Overachievement Dr. Joseph introduces the concept of scarcity trauma. People who grew up with financial instability, insecurity, or hardship may develop a perpetual fear of running out of resources, opportunities, or success. As a result: They struggle to slow down. They remain in a chronic fight-or-flight state. They continuously push themselves despite exhaustion. 6. Reconnecting With Your Past Can Restore Joy A major theme throughout the interview is the value of what Dr. Joseph calls mental time travel. She encourages people to: Look at old photos Reflect on who they were at 18 or 22 Remember activities that once energized them Revisit meaningful relationships and experiences The goal is to rediscover authentic sources of joy and values that may have been lost amid professional success. 7. Music Is a Powerful Healing Tool The conversation highlights how music can: Trigger positive memories Improve emotional regulation Connect different parts of the brain Transport people to happier experiences Dr. Joseph notes that music is even used therapeutically in psychiatric settings because of its healing effects. 8. Joy Must Be Scheduled and Protected Joy should not be treated as something that happens accidentally. Dr. Joseph encourages people to: Put joyful experiences on their calendar Protect personal time like important meetings Create intentional opportunities for happiness She emphasizes that leaders who prioritize joy positively influence everyone around them. 9. Strong People Need Support Too Many high-performing individuals are admired for their resilience but often suffer in silence. The interview stresses that: Strong people need places to be vulnerable. Leaders need trusted advisors. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Rushion McDonald shares his own experience of reaching out for support during a demanding period of his career and how meaningful that guidance became. Dr. Joseph's Five Vs Framework One of the most practical portions of the interview is Dr. Joseph's "Five Vs" approach to reclaiming joy. 1. Validation Acknowledge and name your emotions without judgment. 2. Venting Express emotions through conversation, prayer, journaling, therapy, or trusted relationships. 3. Values Focus on what truly matters rather than only pursuing material success. 4. Vitals Take care of physical health through sleep, nutrition, movement, and protecting brain health. 5. Vision Plan future experiences that create joy and celebrate achievements rather than immediately moving to the next goal. Memorable Quotes On hidden depression "The key symptom is a lack of joy." On the human need for fulfillment "You are built with the DNA for joy. It's your birthright as a human being." On overachievement "I call these people humans doing, not human beings." On success masking pain "You're wearing this mask of productivity." On unhealthy achievement patterns "What are you trying to outrun?" On constant accomplishment "You think you're chasing happiness, but you're really trying to outrun the past." On emotional awareness "If you name it, that uncertainty goes down." On vulnerability "No one knows you're suffering if you don't say anything." On joy and leadership "Joy is very contagious." On support systems "Don't do it alone." Overall Message The interview's central message is that success does not protect people from depression. Many high achievers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and caregivers continue functioning at a high level while quietly struggling with emotional emptiness and loss of joy. Dr. Joseph argues that recognizing these signs early, processing unresolved trauma, reconnecting with personal values, and intentionally cultivating joy can help prevent burnout, breakdowns, and long-term mental health challenges. The ultimate goal is not merely productivity, but a life that feels meaningful, connected, and joyful. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Wil Wheaton knows a thing or twelve about deeply loving a television series. He is part of the Star Trek universe after all, as Wesley Crusher, first appearing on Start Trek: The Next Generation, reappearing in various Trek iterations ever since, and that's a show that has its passionate fans. Same with The Big Bang Theory, where Wil played a kind of alternate universe version of himself. For Wil, there is a special strong appreciation for The Prisoner, the 1960s British series created by and starring Patrick McGoohan as a former(?) spy trapped in a mysterious community where everyone has a number instead of a name and people want answers he doesn't have. Wil walks us through the various enumerated characters, including the rotating position of Number Two, and even explains what kind of Number Two Patrick Stewart would play. Jonathan Frakes could never be Number Two, of course. Because he's Number One.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?Email us at: sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsBluesky @sleepwithcelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Bluesky @JohnMoeJohn's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback.

What does it means to know enough, and why do so many of us have our sense of self-worth tangled up with the need to appear certain, informed, and never wrong? The common obstacles of perfectionism, yearning for power and to feel "special," along with anxiety are fueled by a world of constant information, public scrutiny, and the subtle pressure to prove our intelligence. It makes a tough environment to come back to the wisdom Socrates shared 2,500 years ago: real wisdom lives in knowing what you don't know.  The good news: getting comfortable with being wrong is a practice, not a personality trait. And the more you do it (starting small and safe), then the more your nervous system learns that doubt isn't dangerous.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

A: This episode traces the drive to perform knowledge back to things like anxiety about judgment and the desire for specialness, along with the amygdala hijack that makes being wrong feel like a survival threat, and offers a practical strategy: exposure. Practice being wrong in small, safe ways until your nervous system recalibrates and realizes it isn't catastrophic.   Q: Can you actually be too certain? Isn't confidence a good thing? A: Being too certain can be detrimental. This episode unpacks the differences between genuine knowledge, intellectual humility, and the performance of certainty for reasons outside of genuine knowledge.     Key moments: [00:30] Setting the scene: Athens, 2,500 years ago — a friend asks the Oracle of Delphi who is the wisest person in the city [02:30] Socrates' conclusion: maybe he was wiser because he knew what he didn't know, and didn't shy away from that unknowing; kept asking questions [03:30] Intellectual humility: holding your beliefs loosely, staying curious, genuinely believing you might be wrong [04:00] The Enoughness layer: the belief that you have to prove your knowledge to be worthy; knowing more makes you enough [05:00] It's exhausting to feel like you need to know all the answers, to be right all the time — and none of us can actually succeed at it [05:30] Two drivers: anxiety (fear of being judged for being wrong) and the desire for power or certainty as protection from vulnerability [07:00] The desire for specialness: inflating self-esteem through the performance of knowing it all [07:30] Research on narcissism and conspiratorial thinking: conspiracy theories offer the feeling of uniqueness — "I know something you don't" [10:00] Henry: a small pitch for narcissism — a little bit isn't bad; we all want to feel special sometimes; full-blown narcissists wouldn't be listening to this anyway [11:00] The belonging need: we don't have to stand out to belong, but we do need to be seen as worthy of inclusion — so we avoid sticking our neck out and being wrong in front of others [11:30] Social media amplifies this: anything put out publicly can be validated or challenged — rarely challenged without feeling diminished [14:00] The internet requires a new kind of resilience and emotional regulation we haven't trained before in human history — much of which is what Joy Lab works on [15:30] Being wrong is so often worse in our heads than in real life — especially when we're willing to admit it; humility actually strengthens connection [17:30] Henry: when the fear of being wrong tips into clinical anxiety or mood problems — perfectionism creates a downward spiral [18:00] The amygdala hijack: the midbrain can't distinguish between a perceived threat (being wrong in front of others) and a real physical threat — fight or flight activates as though lives are at stake [18:30] How to get out: exposure — practice being wrong in small, safe ways; when your nervous system learns it isn't catastrophic, it recalibrates  [20:30] Good news: we have many opportunities every day to practice being wrong — the more you check in, the more you notice them [21:00] The Experiment for this episode works on getting more comfortable with being wrong   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Who will you be this year? No matter your age, it's likely that your body remembers the school calendar, and with the blooming aisles of binders and pencils and backpacks, it's easy to feel like a nervous, hopeful kid waiting for that first day back in class. For this episode, Antiquated Education Correspondent Gabe Henry tells Sarah about the history of the shopping season known as Back to School, from the Depression-era department store promotions and the original mascots, to the development of trendy clothes, lunch boxes, and notebooks, and into the memorable commercials and new gadgets of the 1980s and 90s. Together they discuss the commercialization of ritual and what the promises of Back to School shopping taught us about the reinvention of the self. Digressions include the Nickelodeon blimp, Fred Meyer Jewelers, and the Ann Getty baby craze.

Dr. Ross Pelton, Director of Science & Education for Essential Formulas Incorporated, maker of Dr. Ohhira's premium probiotic products, reveals how the gut microbiome affects metabolism, appetite, weight regulation, and overall health. He emphasizes the importance of microbiome diversity, supported by eating a wide variety of plant foods rich in fiber and polyphenols, and discusses how fermented foods and postbiotic metabolites help maintain a healthy gut environment. Pelton explains Dr. Ohhira's multi-year fermentation process and the idea that postbiotics may be key health regulators. He reviews studies suggesting benefits from Dr. Ohhira's probiotics for athletic performance markers, reduced fatigue, and improved bowel regularity, and notes research showing antibiotic-related losses in gut diversity can persist for years. He also mentions a higher-dose “Reset Challenge,” a postbiotic paste concentrate, and an ME-3 product aimed at increasing glutathione.

The acclaimed singer and songwriter Nicole Atkins is pretty adept at reading clues that something is wrong. After she'd fall asleep on a Saturday and wake up on Monday, she knew it was time to get more aggressive about addressing her insomnia. Years before, a fall down an actual sinkhole made her realize that drinking had become a pretty big problems. On Nicole's new album Drama, her first in five years and produced by Wilco's Pat Sansone, she offers many songs that began as mumbled voice memos recorded in the throes of debilitating insomnia, which has since improved with a pretty simple adjustment. She shares that story, tales of growing up in a hard-drinking “party house”, and she calls out one particular hotel in Knoxville that had a dangerous sinkhole and were then total jerks about it. We also get to hear some brand new music from Nicole.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

How often does worry pop up in your life? It's normal for worry to show up in the stressful moments of our lives, yet for a lot of people, anxiety feels like a constant wave just under the surface of every moment of every day. No matter what your experience with anxiety is like, the Bible shows us examples of how to work through overcoming our anxious moments. Join Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they dive into God's Word to emphasize yielding control, praying with thanksgiving, and learning contentment through Christ's strength during life's stressful moments in this special God Hears Her Bible study.   Notes and Quotes:  “[Anxiety] can be a silent little thief of joy.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins  “If I'm wondering where God is, I need friends to point me back to Him. I need friends to remind me that He's holding this, I don't have to.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins  “I don't think we're supposed to hold our deep anxieties and our everyday worries alone.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins  “The pressure that we can put on ourselves that we have overcome this—that we have to pray more, that we have to perform more in order to experience peace . . . I don't think that's true.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins  “Our God is so confident that He can handle any of our anxieties, we don't have to perform for it. We witness that in Scripture time and time again, the Bible does not shy from it.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins  “Look back on what God has already done for you and believe that He will do it again.” —Elisa Morgan   Verses:  Matthew 6:25-34  Matthew 11:28  Acts 15  Acts 16:22-30  Philippians 1:12-14  Philippians 4:6-7  1 Thessalonians 5:18  Philippians 4:11-13  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 14 - Finding Peace: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/finding-peace/ GHH Ep 57 – Living with Depression with Sarah Robinson: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/living-with-depression/ GHH Ep 70 – Awkward Joy with Mary Jo Clark: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/awkward-joy/  Links:  Join our Email List : https://go.odb.org/sign-up-ghh Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Shop TEND Your Soul Bible Studies: https://go.odb.org/mariel-davenport-amazon 

You've heard of an OB-GYN. You've probably heard of a psychiatrist. But have you ever heard of a reproductive psychiatrist?If the answer is no, you're not alone.In this episode, Sarah sits down with reproductive psychiatrist Dr. Claire Smith to explain why one of the most important specialties in maternal mental health remains one of the least known. Together, they discuss what reproductive psychiatry is, why so few specialists exist, how this training differs from general psychiatry, and why so many women never learn this specialty is available until they're already struggling.Follow Previa Alliance!Previa Alliance (@previa.alliance) • Instagram photos and videosPrevia Alliance Podcast (@previapodcast) • Instagram photos and videosKeep the questions coming by sending them to info@previaalliance.com or DM us on Instagram!

We tend to look at results as an overnight thing…“I have been on top of my health and habits for the last 3 weeks but still don't feel much better… this isn't working. This is too hard. I quit!”But yesterday Coach Elizabeth said “your results are the receipts from the last 100 days”While I don't think 100 days is some magic number, I think the idea of expanding our time horizon to evaluate our results is really important.Rather than thinking about how you feel after a few days or a few weeks of a certain habit/behavior, what if you took the average of your habits over the last 100 days?So when you think “II have been on top of my health and habits for the last 3 weeks but still don't feel much better…”Ask yourself what your habits have looked like for the 10-11 weeks before the last 3 weeks, and if you had to take an average of that full time period, what would an average day of habits look like? What results would come from that average day? THAT is what you can reasonably expect for your results today.BUT, we can still look at our more recent habits to evaluate our TRAJECTORY and that's what we are talking about in today's episode.

More Americans now believe unemployment will rise than at any point since April 2020. Not inflation. Unemployment. And that's according to, yes, the Federal Reserve. At the same time, consumers believe that if they lose a job, finding another one quickly will be nearly impossible. That fear is already showing up in what households are already doing - and how rates are really being priced. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------Want to understand what this data (and so much more) means for your portfolio?

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com My new book, The Price of Becoming, is a USA Today, LA Times, Success Magazine, and Publishers Weekly bestseller! I think you'll find it useful. This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My guest: Dr. Martin Seligman is one of the most influential psychologists alive. He's the founder of positive psychology and a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where he directs the Positive Psychology Center. His research reshaped how we understand optimism, resilience, and human flourishing. His books, including Learned Optimism, Flourish, and The Hope Circuit, have sold millions of copies. His latest is Agency: The Psychological History of Human Progress. Key Learnings The three parts of agency. Efficacy is the belief you can hit a goal right now, and it drives whether you try. Optimism is the belief you can hit it in the future, and it drives persistence and grit. Imagination is the range of goals you can even picture, and it drives creativity. When a culture has all three, it progresses. When they fall, it stagnates. "Depression and pessimism and happiness and optimism are too important to be left to happy people." Marty calls himself a born depressive and pessimist. He founded positive psychology and still wakes at 4:00 a.m. to a voice telling him he can't do the thing in front of him. What he's built over decades is the skill of arguing back, treating that voice not as truth but as a rival whose job is to make him miserable. The techniques don't come naturally to anyone. A small number of people are born happy. Everyone else has to learn and practice the skills, which is why Marty spent much of his career testing them rather than assuming they work. How you respond to good news matters more than you think. When his wife Mandy won first prize in the biggest black and white photography contest in the world, Marty could have said "congratulations, dear, you deserve it" and moved on. Instead, he named the exact photo that won, asked her to repeat what the editor said word for word, and tied her talent back to how they teach their kids. Ryan's summary of what made it work: specificity and curiosity. Marty calls it active constructive responding, and done consistently, it increases love and commitment and cuts divorce rates. Marty's contrarian take on leadership. He thinks the whole hunt for "what great leaders do" is a wild goose chase, because the great leaders he's met all do completely different things. What good followers have in common is PERMA: positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. His advice is to promote the leaders who create the most PERMA, and to hold managers responsible for their people's well-being, not just their output, because well-being predicts productivity. Grit and agency. Grit, the idea made famous by his former student Angela Duckworth, feeds straight into optimism and increases how long people push through adversity. On Angela: "one of the best students I've ever had," and "it's great to be outdone." He credits her rare social intelligence, the ability to build allies instead of enemies. Predicting elections by counting optimism. With his graduate student Harold Zullow, Marty studied a century of nomination acceptance speeches and found the more optimistic candidate usually wins. In 1984, they sealed their prediction of the two nominees in an envelope at The New York Times and got it right. The $17,500 lesson. Convinced by Dukakis's optimistic acceptance speech, Marty flew to Edinburgh to place a legal bet and put his entire life savings on Dukakis at 2 to 1. Then he learned the speech was written by Ted Sorensen, and that Dukakis, in his own unscripted press conferences, was deeply pessimistic. He lost everything. The takeaway that shaped his later work: measure the unscripted moments, not the polished speeches. The 2024 call. Trump and Harris were even on optimism in their convention speeches. But across September and October, tracking how each explained bad events in press conferences, Trump got steadily more optimistic. Marty's team sealed another prediction: Trump winning and possibly by a lot. Why the fired-up CEO speech doesn't work great. After Marty published his method, both political parties asked him how to write optimistic speeches. He sent the protocol, and within a few elections everyone sounded optimistic, and it stopped predicting anything, because the optimism was shallow. People don't internalize a leader saying "we're going to crush it." Real agency shows up in the psychology of the team, and that comes from who you hire and how you train them, not from the speech. What the Army taught him. As lead consultant on the Army's Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program, Marty helped train 40,000 drill sergeants and profiled 900,000 soldiers from their first day. Three traits predicted who would later earn awards for excellent work and heroism: optimism, high positive emotion, and low negative emotion. On the other side, catastrophizers were more than twice as likely to develop PTSD at every level of combat. The hiring lesson. Hire optimists and happy people. Avoid catastrophizers. And when you can't pick your team, train the pessimists you already have in the skills of agency. "Put It In Perspective." The tool Marty uses to retrain catastrophizers. Picture the ominous "come see me at 4:00" email. Write down the worst thing that could happen, then the best thing, then the most likely thing, then a plan for that most likely case. Catastrophizers skip straight to the worst case and get paralyzed. The exercise pulls them back to what's actually probable. Marry an optimist. "If you're a pessimist, disaster is to marry another pessimist," because you'll both see the worst in every setback. The wine story makes the point about behavior change: after Mandy told him he'd wrecked a family engagement dinner by sending back a bottle, Marty realized that if she complained as much as he did, he wouldn't want to be married to her. He decided to stop. The critical thoughts never went away, but the behavior did. The gratitude testimonial. Think of someone still alive who did or said something that changed your life. Write a 300-word testimonial in three parts: what they did, what you did because of it, and where you are now as a result. Then deliver it in person and read it out loud. Marty has run this with thousands of people. The usual result is that both people cry, and a month later they test as less depressed and higher in well-being. Reading the minds of the dead. Marty's method for measuring agency across history is counting words. Agentic language like "choose," "compete," "can," and "do" versus language of constraint like "obliged" and "assigned." With Claude and ChatGPT, he can now do in one morning what used to take months: reading whole eras of writing and rating how agentic they are. St. Augustine and a thousand years of stagnation. Before Augustine, around 400 AD, Christian thinkers were highly agentic and taught that you could take part in your own salvation. Augustine's doctrine that grace comes only from God set Church teaching for close to a thousand years, and progress collapsed with it. When agency climbs again, as it does under Charlemagne around 800, progress climbs too. The pattern holds when you line it up against GDP, population, and writing about freedom. The manager's real job. "It's your job as a manager not just to keep productivity going, but to increase the well-being and agency of the people under you." Do that, and you get promoted. Fail at it and your time is up. The Champagne Question... What he'd celebrate a year from now. Marty wants psychohistory taken seriously as a real field, one that measures psychological variables, uses them to understand history, and then changes them to raise future happiness and productivity. Reflection Questions: Marty is 84, founded the field, and still wakes at 4 a.m. to a voice saying he can't do it. What does your version of that voice say, and what does it usually say it about? When it shows up, do you accept it as fact or argue back? Think about the last time someone close to you shared good news. Which quadrant were you in: active constructive, passive constructive, active destructive, or passive destructive? What did you actually say? Marty says a manager's job is to raise the well-being and agency of their people, not just their output. If your team was measured on PERMA tomorrow, what score would they give you, and where's the gap? If you liked this one with Marty, you should also listen to...

Life is good...like REALLY good. In fact, it’s LIT. You’re “blessed and highly favored.” To the casual observer, everything on the outside appears to be wonderful. But on the inside...you feel empty. Lady, is this you? If so, you may be experiencing depression. What we know for sure is that ALL of us will experience symptoms of depression related to many normal life events like a relationship breakup, grief over a loss, or other stressors.
