Podcasts about full life

Most parents hope to maintain a close, loving relationship with their children as they grow into adulthood. Unfortunately, the relationship they imagined doesn't always become reality. When that happens, the disappointment can run deep, leaving parents wondering what went wrong and how to bridge the growing distance.Many of these relationships are marked by complex emotions like tension, grief, hurt, and even anger. Honestly, that's one of the reasons I dedicated the first half of my book, Empty Nest, Full Life, to guiding parents on how to navigate the tricky process of developing new relationship dynamics with their children as they launch into the adult world.My latest guest on the podcast has done the same with her latest book. Dr. Kathy Koch is the founder of Celebrate Kids, and is known as a trusted guide for parents raising kids of all ages. She offers steady encouragement for parents in seasons that often feel uncertain. With a PhD in educational psychology and reading, Dr. Koch helps parents understand their children more clearly.In this episode, you'll hear:The importance of waiting for our advice to be invitedHow parents can utilize the empty nest season to establish new routinesThe importance of being a safe person for our adult children to approachAnd more!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/kathy-koch-312Text us or leave a voicemail!Looking for Empty Nest resources after launching your kids?

“I've been seeing someone. It started a while ago. I tried to stop it, but…I didn't.”“Do you love her?”“I don't know. I think I might.”The words above will resonate with many who have walked through betrayal and its aftermath.If you've been part of our community for a while, then you'll know that Mark and I have written many books about our experience healing from infidelity.My guest for this episode is an author who has walked through a similar hard season in her own life.

Through her writing, she explores the emotions, challenges, and pain of betrayal in a way that she hopes will encourage others.Danna Demetre is a Christian author, speaker, and wellness educator. She has a deep and enduring faith that has shaped her life and writing. For decades, she has encouraged women to pursue emotional, physical, and spiritual wholeness through biblical truth, personal growth, and resilient hope.In this episode, you'll hear:Why forgiveness doesn't immediately fix every hurtPractical tips for navigating betrayalHelpful tools to work through the aftermathAnd more!Danna's journey includes so many similar details to our own.

Acts: The Church Was Born, part 33 Living the Full Life | Acts 20:17-38

When we're trying to help others, it's natural to offer advice, share practical strategies, or point people toward helpful resources. Those things are valuable and often necessary—but they're also one step removed from your own experience.Sometimes, the most impactful thing you can offer is your story.It's not easy to share your journey, with all its imperfections, hardships, and lessons learned along the way. It takes courage and vulnerability. But in exchange for this vulnerability, you can give the gift of real connection and hope that healing is possible.In the years following our own marriage crisis, we began sharing our story more openly and honestly, and something incredible happened.Couple after couple told us how much our story encouraged them, gave them hope, and helped them navigate challenges in their own marriages. We realized that our greatest qualification wasn't having a perfect marriage. It was being willing to honestly share what God had done through our imperfect one.In this episode, you'll hear:How even stories with “bad” endings can offer others hopeSome of the benefits of sharing your storyThe byproduct of sharing honestly and vulnerably with othersAnd more!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/your-story-309Looking for Empty Nest resources after launching your kids?

Do you feel emotionally exhausted, unlucky in love or trapped in the same painful relationship patterns? Many women appear successful and confident on the outside while privately struggling with narcissistic partners, childhood trauma, family conflict, gaslighting, abandonment wounds and relationships that leave them questioning their own reality.

What if the greatest tragedy isn't living an empty life—but living a full one without Jesus? Every person in hell once had plans, possessions, relationships, and accomplishments. Many lived full lives, but they missed the only life that truly matters: new life in Christ.In John 6, Jesus declares, “I am the Bread of Life.” This message explores the difference between a full life and a new life, why nothing in this world can satisfy the hunger of the soul, and how only Jesus can make your spiritual hunger history. Don't settle for a life that looks full while your soul remains empty. Come to the Bread of Life and discover the only satisfaction that lasts forever.

In this episode I discuss why a full calendar doesn't necessarily mean a full life and how you can achieve the latter.

Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with Ed Hinman, Marine infantry officer veteran, public figure protection specialist, historian, and author of The Barbarian in You. Ed shares how his time at the Naval Academy, deployments across Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa, and a pivotal reckoning with ego and identity led him to build a life around three core principles: vigor, wonder, and fellowship. Drawing on history, philosophy, and hard experience, Ed makes the case that living a full life is not about optimization — it's about reconnecting with the most primal, truest parts of yourself. The conversation weaves through the creative life, the craft of writing, the mentorship of Steven Pressfield, the wisdom of Montaigne, Emerson, and Marcus Aurelius, and the courage it takes to follow what resonates rather than what looks good on paper. Episode Highlights: 1:54 - Ed and Marcus discuss the mentorship of Steven Pressfield and the discipline required to show up for the creative life 29:44 - Ed introduces his three-part philosophy of vigor, wonder, and fellowship as a framework rooted in how pre-civilized humans actually lived 49:23 - Ed recounts his Marine Corps career, the ego-driven disappointment of deployments that went nowhere, and how psychosomatic pain forced him to ask what he actually wanted 58:58 - Ed and Marcus explore the idea of listening to intuition over empirical evidence, following resonance rather than a prescribed path, and why the barbarian in you is the truest version of yourself Ed Hinman served as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps, graduating from the Naval Academy and deploying five times across Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa before earning a master's degree in history and building a career in public figure protection with Gavin de Becker's firm. He is the author of The Barbarian in You and the founder of the Barbarian in You blog, where he writes about history, strength, friendship, and the philosophy of living with vigor, wonder, and fellowship.

Trigger / Content Warning: I want to be sure my listeners are aware that in this episode we will be talking about the loss of a child and brief mentions of suicidal ideation. If these kinds of topics are hard for you to hear about, we recommend skipping this conversation.Dealing with grief can feel like being plunged into a terrible darkness and not knowing if or when you will get out. It's a heavy burden to carry, no matter the circumstances surrounding your loss. In the midst of that pain, you may find yourself wondering if you'll ever feel whole again, whether God truly sees and cares about your sorrow, or how you're supposed to move forward with the ache now living in your heart.My guests for this episode know all about the process of grappling with grief.Dennis and Debbie Jordan walked through the death of their six-year-old son, Ryan, who lost his fight with leukemia. While it wasn't easy, they wrestled with hard questions, clung to their faith, and today use their experience to help others walking through grief.In this episode, you'll hear:How grief impacts marriagesThe importance of sharing our hurtsHow to comfort those walking through grief todayAnd more!We have been so encouraged by Dennis and Debbie's story. We hope that anyone experiencing grief today would find hope and a path to healing.Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/dennis-debbie-jordan-307Looking for Empty Nest resources after launching your kids?

#156: This week, Han sits down with Jess Windell, founder of Maven PR and a public relations expert to investigate what it takes to build a foundation of self-trust through acts of courage.Jess and Han have an honest conversation about the psychology behind confidence, courage, risk, productivity, ambition, and creating a life that feels meaningful beyond your career. Jess shares how calling off her wedding four months before it was supposed to happen became the catalyst for nearly every major decision that followed, and taught her that doing the hardest thing can open the door to an entirely different life. The girls get into:Why confidence is the outcome of courageHow taking risks builds self-trustCalling off a wedding when nothing was “wrong,” but it still wasn't rightWhy comfort can keep you trapped in the wrong lifeLetting go of the timeline and future you plannedNavigating rejection, uncertainty, and unexpected changesManifestation beyond material goalsThe pressure to always be productiveWhy traditional ideas of rest do not work for everyoneSeparating your worth from your career, relationship, or motherhoodCreating a full life before finding a partner or having childrenWhy placing your entire identity into one area of your life can be dangerousAllowing different parts of your life to thrive during different seasonsThe psychology, vulnerability, and human connection behind PRWhy audiences are craving more truth and authenticityHow Jess went from never wanting to own a business to founding Maven ConsultingWhy many businesses are not ready for traditional full-service PRDemocratizing PR and making the industry more accessible& MORE!This episode is for anyone learning how to trust themselves, make a difficult decision, leave something that is comfortable but no longer aligned, or release the pressure to have their entire life figured out. Jess and Han remind us that confidence does not always come before the leap—sometimes, confidence is built by proving to yourself that you are capable of taking it.TIMESTAMPS:00:53 — Welcome Jess to the podcast01:07 — The psychology and human connection behind PR02:40 — Was Jess always confident?03:32 — Confidence is the outcome of courage05:30 — Why your life can become better when you take risks06:45 — How Jess learned to trust herself07:13 — Calling off her wedding four months before it happened08:43 — Leaving when nothing is wrong, but it is not right09:15 — How uncertainty keeps us trapped09:29 — Getting uncomfortable to find true comfort11:25 — Discovering a new life on the other side of fear12:06 — Manifesting the feelings you want to experience13:30 — Becoming too attached to the life you planned13:57 — Letting go of control and welcoming change15:35 — Finding balance within the gray areas16:05 — Productivity, anxiety, and the pressure to always be doing more19:12 — Why rest looks different for everyone22:03 — Would Jess make the same decision nine years later?23:05 — The conversation around whether women can “have it all”24:11 — Creating a full life outside of a partner and children24:43 — Why your entire identity cannot live in one area25:22 — Nothing in life will be a 10 out of 10 all the time27:08 — Understanding the different seasons of life29:02 — Why Jess never planned to start a business29:40 — Her desire to transform the PR industry30:00 — Building an in-house PR team at Perfect Bar31:30 — Earning a seat at the table34:10 — The meaning behind the name Maven36:00 — Why audiences are craving truth and vulnerability38:32 — Why Jess turns away potential clients39:20 — Democratizing and demystifying PRCONNECT BELOW:follow Jess ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠check out Jess's PR program Catalyst hereCONNECT with HAN:follow Han ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow HOW I SEE IT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow Han on Substack ⁠here⁠watch HOW I SEE IT on YouTube ⁠here⁠shop the podcast merch ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠work with Han: howhanseesit@gmail.com

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Chipnee Camp in Port Burwell, Ontario, on July 21, 2026.We reflect on the famous story of the young rich man who approaches Jesus to ask him something.(Mt 19:16–22; Mk 10:17–22; Lk 18:18–23) It's a key text, one of the most memorable encounters that Jesus had. It is full of youthful horizons, yet mystery and a bitter dissolution too.What does it mean to live a full life?Music: pulsebox-piano-music-cinematic-552722Audiio_MULVEY_Awakening_Awakening_InstrumentalThumbnail: Crucifixion from France, 12th century, St. Louis Art Museum.

Send us Fan MailYou know that person. The one whose calendar makes your chest tighten just looking at it. Rental properties, a business, a podcast, three kids, a full social life, and somehow they still seem like themselves. You've asked them how they do it. Maybe you've even asked yourself why you can't.Sami and Angela get this question constantly, and this week they're finally answering it for real. Not with a productivity hack or a 5am routine. With the actual, sometimes uncomfortable truth about what capacity really means, why some people have a dinner plate and others have a dessert plate, and how big rocks, batching, and a whole lot of outsourcing keep two very full lives from falling apart. In this episode, we dig into:Permission to stop feeling guilty for hiring out the things you hate doingA new way to think about why some weeks feel impossible and others don'tClarity on the difference between a busy life and a full oneFreedom to say no to things that don't bring you joy, even the ones you're “supposed” to doA practical way to decide what actually gets your time firstAngela walks through the rocks, pebbles, and sand story that's shaped how she plans her entire year, and gets honest about the two things she credits most for her capacity: outsourcing (she's had help with her schedule and her house for almost her whole marriage) and simply not doing things that don't bring her joy. Sami shares the moment she realized she'd been quietly hiding parts of her life from a close friend, not out of dishonesty but out of care for what that friend could handle, and what happened when she decided to let her all the way in. They also get into the meal-planning fight nobody wins at 5pm, why batching the things you don't love saves more than just time, and Barry's blunt “go do something joyful” moment that didn't land the way he meant it to.If you've ever felt like capacity is something you either have or you don't, this episode is going to feel like relief. It's not about doing more. It's about deciding, on purpose, what gets to take up space in your life first, and giving yourself permission to let everything else be optional.Press play on this one now. If your calendar has felt heavy lately, you need the reminder that a full life and an overwhelming one are not the same thing.Related episodes:EP152 — Intentionality and the Sailboat Metaphor: If today's episode got you thinking about your rocks, this is the deeper dive on setting impact goals and checking in on your wheel of life.EP204 — Doing Hard Things on Purpose (with guest Dominique Blake): For the listener wondering whether saying yes to a full life means saying yes to being tired sometimes, this episode makes the case for choosing your hard on purpose.Support the showSign up at bfreakingawesome.com to get the latest news, insights, and episodes straight to your inbox.Follow Be Freaking Awesome on Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube, and Instagram.Let us know what questions you want to be answered and discussed by emailing us at podcast@bfreakingawesome.com.

How do you know if your dog is living with arthritis?The truth is, many dogs show signs of arthritis long before they're diagnosed. What we often dismiss as "slowing down with age" can actually be subtle signs of chronic pain—changes in behaviour, movement, sleep, or the way they engage with the world around them.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Hannah Capon, veterinary surgeon and founder of Canine Arthritis Management (CAM), to explore how we can better recognise arthritis in dogs, support dogs living with chronic pain, and help them continue to live full, meaningful lives.Together, we discuss the early signs of arthritis in dogs, why arthritis isn't simply an "old dog" disease, the importance of maintaining a healthy body condition, and why there is no single supplement, medication, or therapy that can manage arthritis on its own. Instead, Hannah shares why the best arthritis care is always multi-modal - bringing together veterinary medicine, rehabilitation, nutrition, movement, environmental adaptations, and compassionate day-to-day support.But this conversation goes far beyond canine arthritis.We talk about caregiver fatigue, grief, kindness, and why supporting ourselves is an important part of supporting our dogs.This episode is a reminder that arthritis doesn't have to mean the end of adventure, connection, or joy.As Hannah says so beautifully:"Arthritis isn't the end of the road—it's a new direction."In this episode, you'll learn:

If this was it would it feel like you lived a full life?

Are you chronically stressed? Do you often scroll on your phone to “numb out?” At the end of each day, do you feel wired and tired, just barely getting by?In a survey of over 2,000 Christian women, 91% admitted that they were tired of pushing through every day. 87% said they regularly felt overwhelmed, but only 11% reported having any way to reset in real time.My latest guest says that the data she gathered in that survey confirmed the nightmare she was already living. Alli Worthington is the author of five books, including The Year of Living Happy and Breaking Busy. She is also a speaker, author, podcaster, and business coach who helps women thrive.In this episode, you'll hear:What happens to our bodies when we scroll to relaxStrategies to close the “stress cycle”Simple ways you can restore peace in your lifeAnd more!I loved Alli's fresh perspective on why we experience burnout and her helpful tips to find peace!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/alli-worthington-303/Looking for Empty Nest resources after launching your kids?

What happens when a woman who spent decades holding everyone else together finally has no choice but to let go? In episode 265 of Joy Found Here, Florence Acosta — former Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, healthcare executive, and the person everyone leaned on — shares how a stroke at 50 became the moment that shattered her old identity and cracked her wide open. Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the body says stop long before we ever will.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(3:46) How Florence went from holding everything together to having a stroke at 50(6:05) Why chronic givers struggle to receive — and the mindset keeping them stuck(7:43) The sisterhood circle that cracked open her awareness around control and letting go(11:51) The childhood moment at age three that silently took her voice for decades(13:17) How writing on Substack became an unexpected act of reclaiming her voice(20:54) How the Miracle Morning helps Florence create space and stay grounded in recovery(23:04) The "Question of the Day" ritual she runs for her Substack subscribers(24:15) Florence's new business venture with her sister — and why she broke her own rule(26:41) Her "C-cubed" self-care approach: cooking, crocheting, and creative writing(31:03) Why people want to help — and how telling them how changes everythingFlorence Acosta spent nearly 30 years in healthcare — first as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, then as executive director of a surgical center — carrying the weight of patients, teams, and everyone around her without ever pausing to fill her own cup. At 50, a stroke caused by an undetected arteriovenous malformation forced her to stop, and through the slow road of recovery, a women's sisterhood circle, and the discovery of writing, she found the voice she had quietly lost decades before. Today she writes about intentional living, mindset, and personal development through her Substack publication Becoming You with Florence Acosta.In this episode, Florence shares how decades of over-giving as both a healthcare professional and the person everyone leaned on ultimately led to her stroke — and how that rupture became the catalyst for rebuilding on her own terms. She traces her lifelong silence back to a childhood moment at age three, and how Substack became the unexpected place where she finally reclaimed her voice. Florence also opens up about her Miracle Morning practice, a new business venture with her sister, and her "C-cubed" self-care approach — cooking, crocheting, and creative writing — while delivering a powerful message to fellow chronic givers: open your hands and let people in before life forces you to.Connect with Florence Acosta:SubstackInstagramLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

"This is a cautionary tale about how extremism and fascism can creep up on us. It always begins with hate speech and dehumanization... from verbal violence, it's a very short leap to physical violence." — Dr. Georgette Bennett ABOUT THIS EPISODE Dr. Georgette Bennett is an award-winning sociologist, widely published author, former NBC News correspondent, and founder of both the Tanenbaum Center for Inter-Religious Understanding and the Multifaith Alliance for Syrian Refugees — which has mobilized more than $660 million in humanitarian aid. Her latest book, Half Jew, Full Life, tells the extraordinary story of Holocaust survivor Gary "Pips" Phillips, a distant relative who became a surrogate father to Georgette after her own father's death. Pips was classified by the Nazis as a Mischling — half-Jewish — yet voluntarily embraced his Jewish identity at the very moment it could be fatal. Mike and Georgette discuss Pips's four arrests and three escapes, the Nazis who unexpectedly saved his life, the challenge of writing a third-person memoir from psychiatric recordings, and why this story carries urgent lessons about identity, denial, and the creep of extremism. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. A Holocaust story unlike any other. Pips was a Mischling first degree — an Aryan mother, a Jewish father — who voluntarily chose to be Jewish by becoming a bar mitzvah the very week the Nuremberg Laws were enacted. Almost nothing has been written about people in this category. 2. Nazis both persecuted and saved him. Pips was arrested four times and escaped three times. In key moments, individual Nazis — motivated by love, lust, or personal connection — intervened to save his life, complicating the black-and-white narrative of the Holocaust. 3. Survival was his career. Living underground in Berlin among 6,500 Jews who went into hiding, Pips navigated a world where you couldn't buy food or rent a room without papers stamped with a "J." Every day was a question of where to eat and where to sleep. 4. Psychiatric tapes became the primary source. Pips recorded his life story across dozens of sessions with his psychiatrist. Georgette had them transcribed while he was still alive, giving the book an authentic first-person voice despite being written in third person. 5. Trauma never fully heals. Pips's wife Olga, an Auschwitz survivor, processed her experience through silence and ultimately took her own life in 2005. Pips's own trauma surfaced decades later as severe palpitations with no physical cause. 6. Identity is a lifelong negotiation. Pips spent his entire life seeking acceptance as a Jew despite never formally converting. The title Half Jew, Full Life comes from his own declaration: "I don't want to be a half Jew. I want to be a full Jew." 7. A cautionary tale for today. The book traces how extremism begins with hate speech and dehumanization, and how denial during that phase allows violence to escalate — a pattern Georgette sees playing out in the present day. 8. The American Dream, chapter two. After the war, Pips arrived in America as a waiter and bicycle messenger and ended up co-owning the largest photo agency in the world, hobnobbing with celebrities like Natalie Wood and Raquel Welch — never having owned a camera.

You have a full life. A packed calendar. People who need you. And yet somewhere underneath all of it, there is a quiet, persistent loneliness you can't quite name — because it doesn't make sense given everything you have. Midlife loneliness rarely looks like isolation — it looks like being surrounded by people and still not being fully seen. Drawing on Harvard's landmark study on adult wellbeing, Courtney explains why quality of connection matters far more than quantity, and gives you a practical step toward the depth of relationship your evolving self is genuinely hungry for.

Ever look up and realise a whole month has vanished? This episode is about why that happens — and how to get more life out of the same amount of time. Most people think time speeds up because they're busy. Not quite. Time speeds up when your brain stops noticing. When your days are repetitive, distracted, and half-lived, your memory writes almost nothing down. That's why a week of scrolling disappears, while one difficult, vivid, meaningful afternoon can feel strangely rich. In this episode, I break down the psychology of time perception using examples from TikTok, procrastination, ADHD, novelty, and emotional reframing. The big idea: a full life isn't made from more hours. It's made from more moments that feel real. We talk about why discomfort often stretches time, why autopilot erases it, and how learning to stay with tension can make you calmer, sharper, and more alive. Add novelty on purpose: new places, new conversations, new experiences. Notice when you're escaping discomfort instead of living through it. Use memory as a metric: if nothing stands out, something needs to change. If time keeps slipping through your hands, this episode will help you hold it differently.

Did you settle in life or are you living the way you will look back on with peace?Today I want to introduce you to Haley, I just met this sweet girl and I will never stop being grateful for how friends bring new friends into my life. Haley is one that quickly gives off an ease and sincerity, one that demonstrates kindness in the little things, in the ways that point to who she is insideWe chat about what changed her entire perspective on life, what quitting her job led to, and the difference in seeking approval in those around you and seeing joy in the world around you. She shares how a time in her life brought her lower than anyone should ever feel and yet how she looks to that time as impacting how she sees so much joy in everyday, and values the way every “first” feels We chat about what it means to settle, to hold your whole value of what you want out of life, and to be willing to risk every scary reality to not give up on your heartHaley is a sweet and kind soul, a human that holds onto what it means to be human to others, and one that will remind you that it's ok to change your life to feel alive So tune in and meet Haley, a human that responds with kindness, with hope for a better world, and my vote to let Disney princess answers guide us a little moreAnd to you Haley thank you, thank you for sharing space that feels real and safe, for your trust in having this conversation, and for the ease in which you choose to see life as beautiful and worthwhile, both of which you are so so much

Friend — have you ever stood in the middle of your own life — the career, the home, the friendships, the milestones — and thought, why does none of this feel like mine? Today we are naming the thing most women carry in silence because they are too afraid to say it out loud. Because saying it means admitting that the life you worked so hard to build might not actually be the life you wanted. And that is terrifying. And true. And the beginning of everything.WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO:✦ Why what you are feeling is not burnout — and why that distinction changes absolutely everything ✦ The identity gap that keeps you adding more to a life that still isn't hitting the way you expected ✦ How high achieving women quietly move from author to character in their own story — and how to get the pen back ✦ Why the disconnection you feel is not evidence that something went wrong — it's evidence that you grewTIMESTAMPS00:00 When Life Feels Off01:26 You Did Everything Right03:28 It's Not Burnout04:35 The Identity Gap05:55 From Author to Character08:31 My Corporate Reckoning10:48 Outgrowing the Blueprint13:03 Name It Two Step14:34 Create What's Next16:34 Final EncouragementThe Name It 2 Step:Step 1 — Name it without judgment. Sit with the feeling instead of fixing it. Notice where it shows up — in your career, your relationships, the quiet moments when nobody needs anything from you. Don't solve it yet. Just name it. "I feel disconnected here." "This doesn't feel like mine."Step 2 — Ask the one question. If I wasn't afraid of disappointing anyone, what would I want instead? Don't edit it before it comes out. Just let the answer arrive. You don't have to act on it today. Just be honest enough to hear it.Step 3 — The YOU Step. Get still. Get quiet. And ask yourself — what is my heart telling me to do next? Whatever comes up — that is your next right aligned step. Not the whole plan. Just the next move. Trust her friend. She already knows.

Philip Setter is an insurance broker and software entrepreneur from Canada who's been climbing for over a decade. He is known to quietly solo some of the gnarliest ice the Canadian Rockies has to offer and has an affinity for chossy, runout, dangerous, and psychologically demanding routes. Phil has a tangible passion and enthusiasm to extract the most out of life. Whether its in business, his partnerships, or in climbing he gives everything 100%. Part of life's meaning for Phil is triumphing through adversity and the shenanigans he seems to always find himself in provide the perfect place for him to create the memories and stories that will last a lifetime. But what's the difference between shenanigans worth pushing through and those that become reckless?  What does it mean to build a life that holds space for risk while being responsible to the people who depend on you? Expect to learn about Phil's framework for ice climbing risk assessment, how he tore his A2 pulley and how peptides accelerated his recovery, what it's like selling life insurance to climbers who might not want to admit they're doing something dangerous, why many accomplished climbers have something else in their life besides climbing, how he works on setting boundaries, how we define success & failure, the role vices play in our lives, and much more…#iceclimbing #tradclimbing #mountaineering Thanks to our sponsors!LIVSN DesignsCheckout Their Ecotrek Trail Pants HEREUse Code "TCM15" At Checkout for an extra 15% OFF Your OrderHelp Support The Show & Unlock The Ad-Free PodcastResourcesPurchase Life Insurance For Climbers (Canadians Only):Phil's IGPhil's Youtube

Big Idea: Building God's house produces abundant life Problem: We disobey God and seek the abundant life by building our house at the neglect of God's Solution: God disrupts our efforts to stir us into joyful and fulfilling obedience that leads to abundant life Vision: A church built upon the foundation of Christ by His people, who build each other up, support the activities of the church, all done with pure motives, which leads to people and homes that are flourishing with the abundant life of joy in God's presence.

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with James, the winner of our 8-Week New Year's Challenge, along with coach Jamie to break down exactly how he pulled it off. James dropped over 20 pounds, took his resting heart rate from 92 to 49, and cut his cholesterol nearly in half — all while working long shifts in food service and raising three kids in the UK. He opens up about the moment that kicked all of this off: giving CPR to his stepdad in his own home, and the promise he made to himself that day. Jamie and I get into how we built the plan around his chaotic schedule, and how James' journey has now pulled his chef, his sister, and his own dad into taking their health seriously too.

Rest doesn't mean doing nothing, but simply pausing the constant pushing forward. In this conversation with Carolyn of Homesteading Family, we talk about what happened when her family intentionally committed to a “year of rest” on their busy homestead. With older kids, a growing business, animals to tend, and even a wedding thrown into the mix, this wasn't a year of sitting still. It was a year of redefining peace, rethinking commitments, and learning that true rest often starts in your mindset long before it shows up on your calendar. If you've been feeling burned out in homesteading, homemaking, business, or motherhood, this episode will meet you right where you are and give you practical encouragement to find peace in your current season. In this episode, we cover: - The long-term vision behind planning six years of building followed by a seventh year with no major homestead projects - What “rest” actually looked like with 11 kids, animals, gardens, and a full family business still running - The surprising ways time opened up when they stopped adding infrastructure, remodels, and new systems - How an unexpected engagement, homestead wedding, and cabin build reshaped their carefully planned year - Living by rhythm instead of a clock-driven schedule and why everyday chores don't have to feel burdensome - The myth that life automatically gets easier as kids grow — and how each new season brings its own challenges and freedoms - The difference between removing work and actually experiencing peace - A practical shift that brought immediate calm and clarity to her days and why overwhelm often follows us even into vacation seasons - The hidden cost of overcommitment and how to recognize when it's stealing your joy in the everyday moments - Telling yourself the truth about your personality and energy instead of striving to meet someone else's standard - Designing home rhythms that serve your season instead of copying what works for someone else View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.
