This podcast is for high-achieving CEO, entrepreneurial women who refuse to settle in a life that looks successful on the outside but feels empty on the inside. If you're juggling business, career, family, and a relationship that doesn't light you up while secretly craving more freedom, more abundance, and more joy - this is the podcast for you. I help women reclaim their power, build unshakable self-trust, and create the kind of life they no longer want to escape from. We're not here to hustle harder or burn it all down, we're reinventing ourselves and our lives from power. We're no longer focused on changing men, or fixing ourselves for men,  we are building for ourselves so that we never settle again. We're here to make power moves with ease, and feminine energy that attracts everything you want without losing yourself in the process. So if you're ready to stop waiting for him to change, stop negotiating your worth, and start embodying the woman you want to be, welcome home. Let's dive in.  

Why do I feel exhausted even though I'm successful? You've built something impressive. You've proven yourself over and over. But you're exhausted, your body is breaking down, and no matter how much you achieve, it never feels like enough. You're the strong one everyone leans on, but you're quietly wondering how much longer you can keep this up. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. This is the hidden cost of being strong, and it's exactly what today's guest, Alex Snider, lived through before everything came crashing down. Who is Alex Snider? Alex Snider is the founder of Leaders Who Build, a leadership development company working with founders and executives who are scaling fast but struggling to lead themselves through it. Alex helps her clients integrate strategy with self-awareness so they can grow their businesses without losing themselves in the process. She's a certified executive coach who knows this terrain intimately because she's walked through it herself. Alex's Story: When Strength Becomes Your Prison During COVID, Alex was tripling her company in 10 months. On the outside, she was crushing it. But her back was in constant pain for 12 months straight. Her business partnership had turned toxic. Her personal relationship was unhealthy. She was over-giving in every direction, having emotional reactions that would take her out for days, and her body was physically breaking down from carrying the weight of it all. Alex had gone from being hyper-independent and emotionally unavailable to swinging completely to the other extreme: over-functioning, people-pleasing, and seeking partnerships to fill the gaps she believed existed in herself. She was operating from scarcity, not abundance. She was trying to earn love by being helpful and valuable enough. And she was attracting emotionally unavailable people so she could over-compensate by being the caretaker. The breakthrough came when Alex realized she was having outsized emotional reactions because she had given every ounce of energy to everyone else. There was nothing left for her. She had to face the uncomfortable truth: her patterns of over-functioning weren't making her a better leader or partner. They were destroying her health, her relationships, and her ability to feel the success she'd built. What we talk about in this episode: How over-functioning creates under-functioning in others. When you're constantly doing everything, carrying all the weight, and being the strong one, you're actually teaching the people around you to do less. You create the exact dynamic you resent. What it's like to attract emotionally unavailable people when you're trying to earn love. Alex shares how her pattern of seeking partners from scarcity (looking for people to fill her perceived gaps) versus partnering from abundance completely shifted once she did the deep work on her worthiness. The moment you wish someone would save you while hating yourself for even thinking it. This is the rock bottom moment for high-functioning, capable people. When you're so exhausted that you just want someone to rescue you, and you despise yourself for having that thought because you're supposed to be strong. Why your "buttons" getting pushed reveals your unhealed wounds. Alex explains how the people closest to us push our buttons not because they're trying to hurt us, but because they're the only ones allowed close enough to reach those wounds. Her business partner was pushing the exact buttons related to her "not enough" story from childhood. How to set boundaries without over-explaining yourself. Learning to say no as a complete sentence. Learning to set a boundary and hold it without justifying, defending, or convincing. This is the work of self-respect. What self-trust actually means and how to rebuild it. Self-trust isn't built through grand gestures. It's built by keeping the small promises you make to yourself. Every time you break a promise to yourself, you're teaching yourself you don't matter. The shift from "not enough" to "I am so in love with myself." Alex shares what it's like on the other side of the deep emotional work: the peace, the clarity, the ability to move through the world without constantly proving yourself or seeking external validation. How success and freedom get redefined once you stop abandoning yourself. For Alex, freedom used to mean location independence. Now it means the freedom to prioritize her health, be where she wants when she wants, work with people she chooses, and have the bandwidth to do work that matters without worrying about compensation. The spiral metaphor: why it looks like you're going in circles but you're actually going up. Alex has a spiral tattooed on her wrist because from one angle, personal growth looks like you're just repeating the same patterns. But shift your perspective and you see you're actually ascending, going around and up with each iteration. This episode is for you if you've ever: Felt like you're everyone's rock but you have no one to lean on when you're falling apart Been the strong, capable one your entire life and secretly resented having to hold it all together Attracted emotionally unavailable people so you could be the caretaker and feel needed Achieved impressive milestones but still struggled to actually feel successful Wished someone would just save you, then immediately hated yourself for being weak enough to think it Had physical pain that wouldn't resolve no matter what you tried (and suspected it was related to emotional stress) Found yourself over-functioning in your work and relationships while others under-function Said yes to things you didn't want to do because it felt easier than setting a boundary Built something that looks successful on the outside but feels exhausting on the inside Known you need to take better care of yourself but always ran out of time and energy How to stop over-functioning and start living Alex's journey reveals something critical: you can't strategy your way out of patterns rooted in unworthiness. You can't hustle your way into feeling successful. And you can't keep abandoning yourself for achievement and expect to feel fulfilled. The real work is getting honest about why you're over-giving. What you're getting from being everyone's rock. What you're avoiding by staying busy and helpful and indispensable. And whether you're willing to do the uncomfortable work of learning to love yourself enough to stop. If you're ready to stop carrying it all and start building success that actually feels good, this conversation will show you what's possible on the other side. Ready to stop over-functioning and start feeling successful? The patterns Alex describes (over-functioning, people-pleasing, seeking external validation, struggling to feel your success) aren't character flaws. They're coping mechanisms you developed to stay safe. But they're costing you your health, your relationships, and your ability to enjoy the life you've built. The Congruency Audit is where we look at the gap between the success you've built on the outside and what you're actually feeling on the inside. We'll identify the exact patterns keeping you stuck in over-functioning mode, the wounds driving your need to be everyone's rock, and what it's going to take for you to finally create success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. This isn't about optimizing the version of yourself you built to survive. It's about creating congruence so the life you've built doesn't just look good, it finally feels right.

Listen, I tried so hard not to cry recording this episode. Today George Boone and I are talking about grief, the thing that HR loves to pretend can be solved with a three-day bereavement policy and a sad little “OOO.”  But grief is messy and human and shows up everywhere: in how you work, lead, love, set boundaries, and literally get out of bed.  George and I both carry losses that changed us forever, and instead of shoving that into the corporate void, we're unpacking what it actually means to keep showing up while your heart is busy learning a whole new shape.  It's honest. It's tender. And somehow…it's also hopeful. Teamtailor is the fun, intuitive ATS that candidates actually like and recruiters don't dread opening on Monday mornings.

After four months away, I'm back — and I'm telling the truth about why I ghosted the pod. 2025 has been a snake-year of shedding: I dropped the identity of “the woman who holds it all together,” named my over-functioning for what it is, and watched my marriage hit an honest, necessary reckoning. I walk you through the spell of over/under-functioning — how it's wired by nervous systems, patriarchy, and the overculture — and why moralizing it never changes anything. You'll hear the experiment that changed everything for us, what “authentic functioning” looks like, and why I'm inviting you into BRILLIANT to do this work in your own life and relationships.Workshop mentioned:Brilliant: The Somatic Intelligence of Over- & Under-Functioning — live on Tuesday, Dec 9 at 5:00 pm US/Central on Zoom. Ticket: $99. Replay included if purchased before the workshop. Includes a special discount for the upcoming Crucible relational membership/mastermind. (See link in show notes or lindseylockett.com/brilliant.) What we cover in this episode:Why 2025 became a deep identity shed—and why “over-functioner” was a survival adaptation, not the goal.The link between evangelical conditioning, overculture (capitalism/patriarchy), and women's chronic over-functioning.Mental load vs. over-functioning: why the hashtag data misses the full pattern.Burnout and “survival creativity”: when output becomes self-exploitation.The July rupture, naming under-functioning, and beginning “purposeful under-functioning.”Nervous-system framing: fight/flight-dominant over-functioners, freeze-dominant under-functioners, and why dopamine hits keep the cycle going.Capacity audits at home and in emotions: tailor shared spaces to the partner with lower capacity in that context; slow emotional pacing to the partner with lower capacity there.The reframe that works: from “What's wrong with you?” to “Why did your body choose this strategy?”—and how that breaks shame.Instagram posts mentioned:1. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRm85RTkcaf/2. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRpJbERjbCN/

In this essential message, Bob Gladstone exposes how the modern church has drifted from God's original blueprint. Instead of a body where every believer functions in the power of the Holy Spirit, many churches have settled into a model where a few people do the ministry and the rest watch. But this is not what Jesus had in mind.   Drawing from Ephesians 4, Romans 12, and 1 Corinthians 12, Bob unpacks how the Spirit has given specific gifts to every believer—gifts of prophecy, teaching, encouragement, leadership, healing, generosity, and more—not to be admired from afar, but to be used for the building up of the body. When those gifts are dormant, the church is weak. When they're active, the body grows into the full measure of Christ.   This message is a clear call to maturity. Bob challenges passive mindsets and reminds us that if the church is going to reflect Jesus to the world, it will require every member functioning, not just a few leaders up front. This isn't about hype or chasing platform. It's about faithfully using what the Spirit has given to serve, to build, and to reveal the fullness of Jesus through His people.   If you've ever wondered why church feels shallow or disconnected, or if you've felt like you have more to offer but don't know how or where to start the Spirit has already given you what you need. The question is—are you using it?

"it's faster to implement a piece of technology than it is to get 10,000 people to stop doing what they've been doing for a decade and start to do new things and work in new ways"Hilton and I unpack the hidden dynamics of organizational change, and the influence of informal power dynamics on transformation. Most change programs falter, not due to strategy, but because leaders often overlook the invisible power of trust and connection networks. Amidst the 'talent' lists and org charts, do you know where your powerful influencers are in your organisation ? Hilton shares his powerful “people, not pixels” philosophy, explaining how technology investments frequently overshadow the critical human element. It is difficult to budget for, and prioritise, translating a ‘people not pixels' approach into culture change; similar to what we are finding with AI today, digital transformation stands and falls with the people and the culture of an organisation, not the technology. We also dive into the “3% rule" from Innoviser, exploring how identifying and activating informal power networks can create significant momentum and surface untapped potential and highlight the 'key influencers' in your organisation. This conversation challenges traditional views of leadership and offers a fresh perspective on cultivating a resilient, adaptable culture.Discover how to transform your approach to change by understanding the relational and emotional infrastructure that truly drives performance. Learn why acknowledging emotions and mapping your organisation's real connections are non-negotiable for future success. Look at where and how you can unlock potential in your teams and organisations.How can you use data differently to understand the potential of your organisation ? The main insights you'll get from this episode are : o C-suite is under such immense pressure that people are overlooked and investment is made in technology, which becomes an efficiency tool that is quicker to implement and yield results than changing people's habits.o We ignore previous failures and neglect to learn lessons, yet without an enthusiastic commitment of the culture to change, strategy will flounder and adoption will slow – the vital balancing act is to engage humans proactively: tech + humans, not tech v humans.o The invisible part of culture is where it has been made amorphous and ambiguous, so that it is seen as the ‘soft', human-related aspect of change when it is actually the most challenging aspect – to motivate, entice and energise others.o How humans behave and make decisions within an organisation is important because of how we interact with each other across ecosystems – the many decisions that are made (or not made) on a daily basis must align with the strategy.o Culture can be defined as the worst behaviour tolerated by management - this is pivotal to sustainable transformation because of the importance of the relational and emotional infrastructure when building culture and performance.o Functioning informal power networks and humanly - not digitally - connected organisations are built on the basic tenets of humanity, i.e. trust, advocacy, commitment and energy, which in turn are reliant on relationships as the currency of systems.o In terms of influence, leadership impact involves many other parties on the edges who build communities, create momentum, and unlock hidden potential (cf. Innovisor's rule that 3% of employees drive 90% of change in an organisation).o The inherently human approach of organisational network analysis to define the connectors in the organisation enables leaders to unlock potential by engaging those people who provide the ideas and the energy and invite trust.o Agency is diluted by a lack of clear accountability – a more...

Restrictions on movement and access to medical supplies have become an often-unseen threat to health care in today's armed conflicts. Even where hospitals are not attacked, the quiet tightening of supply routes can deprive them of the medicines, equipment, and basic services they need to function. In this post, ICRC Legal Advisers Supriya Rao and Alexander Breitegger outline what the obligation to protect medical facilities means in practice, from allowing the passage of medical consignments to enabling essential services like power and water. They also describe how concerns about dual-use risks must be balanced against humanitarian needs, and highlight ongoing work under the Global IHL Initiative to identify good practices that help keep hospitals operating even in the most difficult conditions.

In this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the intricate dynamics of limerence and its connection to attachment trauma. Joined by licensed psychotherapist Leah Marrone, author of Serial Fixer: Breaking Free of the Habit of Solving Other People's Problems, we explore how unresolved attachment imprints shape our behaviors and relationships.Limerence, often mistaken for intense longing, is revealed as a response to old wounds, manifesting as hypervigilance, overfunctioning, and a compulsive need to fix or rescue others. These patterns, while appearing as care, often mask deeper fears of abandonment and a struggle for self-worth.Leah shares insights on how early attachment experiences condition us to regulate anxiety by overcommitting to others' needs, often at the expense of our own well-being. We discuss the importance of self-awareness, setting boundaries, and the power of validation in creating healthy, balanced relationships.Throughout the conversation, we emphasize the need for practitioners and caregivers to recognize their own patterns of overfunctioning and to cultivate self-trust and resilience. By doing so, we can better support others without falling into the trap of serial fixing.Tune in to learn how to navigate these complex dynamics and foster genuine connections that allow for mutual growth and healing."Serial Fixer: Breaking Free of The Habit of Solving Other People's Problems"Timestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction to Limerence and Attachment Trauma00:01:15 - Mint Mobile Advertisement00:02:19 - Limerence and Attachment Patterns00:03:04 - Introduction of Guest: Leah Marrone00:03:42 - Childhood Conditioning and Over-committing00:06:02 - Hyper-responsibility and Nervous System Safety00:08:10 - Emotional Suppression and Connection00:10:39 - Threat and Safety in Emotional Responses00:12:48 - Recognizing Somatic Cues00:15:02 - Differentiating Roles in Relationships00:18:09 - Supporting vs. Solving in Therapy00:21:03 - Invisible Labor and Emotional Interactions00:24:01 - Urgency and Shame in Fixing Behavior00:27:04 - Effective Listening and Present Moment Awareness00:30:19 - Building Resilience and Self-trust00:33:04 - Vulnerability in Guiding Conversations00:36:09 - Holding Space and Managing Tension00:38:46 - Monitoring Unconscious Over-resourcing00:41:15 - Social Stigma and Mental Health00:43:57 - Self-martyrdom in Caregiving Roles00:45:36 - Personal Reflection on Fixing Behavior—CreditsFeatured Guest: Leah MaroneHost: Jeffrey BeseckerExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.Music by Aloft Meade and Jeffrey Besecker“Anxiety Effect” by Aloft Media“Falling Down”  written by Aloft Media“Wanting and Waiting” by Aloft Media

Here's a simple idea that explains a lot about how the world works: "I know that you know that I know." It might sound complicated, but it's the reason we stop at red lights or believe money has value says Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker. But when people start to have their own truths, when facts are not shared, we can get in to trouble. Dr Pinker unravels this idea that makes in the world go round in his new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life. Dr. Pinker is coming to New Zealand in February for an evening of smart, stimulating conversation. Tickets are available here.

Have you ever looked at your life from the outside and thought, “Everything looks fine… so why don't I feel fine?” In this episode, I'm talking about the quiet, almost invisible shutdown many ADHD women experience when we're technically “getting things done,” but we've disconnected from our bodies in order to do it. Not burnout. Not a crisis. Just this low-grade numbness that sneaks in when survival mode becomes our norm. I share how I noticed this pattern in myself, the subtle signs so many of us overlook, why high-functioning ADHD often comes at a physical and emotional cost, and the small, compassionate shifts I'm making to come back into my life instead of just managing it. If you've been productive but not present… if you're checking boxes but not feeling anything while you do it… this episode is going to land deeply. ✨ Mentioned in the episode:  Eleonore de Posson, https://www.eleonoredeposson.com/   —CHAPTERS— 00:00 Introduction: Feeling Alive vs. Going Through the Motions 01:00 Recognizing the Signs of Disconnection 02:05 Personal Experiences and Realizations 05:51 Understanding ADHD and Dissociation 07:24 The Importance of Mindfulness and Presence 11:53 Strategies for Reconnecting with Your Body 19:12 The Role of the Nervous System 27:41 Practical Tips for Staying Present 36:58 Conclusion: Embracing Mindfulness in Daily Life   ✨ If you found this episode helpful… Please follow, subscribe, and share it with another ADHD woman who needs support!  

2. Key Players in the Rise to Power. Timothy Ryback introduces core players in the 1932–1933 drama. Gregor Strasser was critical to the NSDAP, balancing Hitler's fanatic nationalism with a committed socialist agenda, functioning as a popular coalition builder. On the establishment side were Chancellor Papen and Minister of Defense Schleicher. Schleicher was the political mastermind and "key power broker." Papen was widely seen as Schleicher's unintelligent "puppet." Also prominent was Röhm, who led the SA (Brownshirts). The SA was a 400,000-man private army of stormtroopers used for fundraising and fighting communists in the militarized German streets. 1933

Josh Weiner left Meta to return to CVS Health with two painful realizations: consumers don't manage their health—they expect it, and the healthcare market fundamentally violates every principle of economics.

Scripture: Ephesians

In this powerful episode of the I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell welcomes Chris James, a nationally recognized spoken word artist, TEDx speaker, mental health educator, and founder of Creative Connections. As a father of seven and the visionary behind the “Black Boys Better” program, Chris shares how art, advocacy, and emotional intelligence are reshaping the conversation around fatherhood and mental wellness. The two dive deep into fatherhood, the danger of emotional suppression, and how men often carry unacknowledged pain in silence. Chris opens up about becoming a father at 16, dropping his oldest son off at college while raising an 18-month-old, and how his own healing journey allows him to serve boys and men with greater empathy and truth. He and Braswell challenge the myth that men don't express emotions, arguing instead that men communicate constantly—we just need to listen differently. This episode is rich with lived experience, critical insight, and practical frameworks for healing, mentoring, and creating culturally relevant support systems for Black boys and their fathers.

Working with young adults who are navigating ADHD is rarely straightforward. They're often dealing with more than just distractibility or missed deadlines. There's anxiety, identity shifts, life transitions, and sometimes a long history of feeling misunderstood. This isn't about checking boxes on a symptom list, it's about understanding how their brain, their environment, and their story all interact. Today, we're going to unpack that. CME: Take the CME Post-Test for this EpisodePublished On: 10/27/2025Duration: 16 minutes, 14 secondsJoshua Feder, MD, and Geneva Valeska have disclosed no relevant financial or other interests in any commercial companies pertaining to this educational activity.

Not happy, not sad, not energized, not connected. Just floating. He explains how this happens slowly over time, from past hurt, from stressful routines, from always being on, and from the constant distractions we surround ourselves with to avoid actually feeling anything.Daryl walks through how emotional shutdown is a survival mode that a lot of people are in right now. You convince yourself you are functioning, you keep it surface level with most people, you keep scrolling, you keep moving, but you are not really connected to yourself or anybody else. He talks about why that becomes dangerous long term, because when you turn off the painful stuff you also turn off the good stuff. The warmth. The joy. The love. The pride. The calm.This conversation is about starting to wake back up. Daryl shares some first steps to reconnect. Slowing down. Having real conversations instead of constant distraction. Meeting up with people in person when you can. Getting outside without a screen for a few quiet minutes and actually sitting with yourself. Letting yourself feel anger and grief when something hurts, instead of shutting it down. Letting yourself feel excitement and care when something good shows up, instead of playing it cool.You will also hear him stress how helpful therapy can be for untangling why you disconnected in the first place and how you personally can start to move forward. Everyone's story is different. Everyone's way back is different. But nobody is meant to live their entire life numb.This is a very real talk about what it means to stop just getting through the day and start actually living again.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

If you've ever thought, “It's just easier if I do it myself,” or found yourself ready to “burn it all down” after one too many hand-holding moments—this episode is for you.In this solo episode, Chanie Wilschanski exposes the false binary so many school leaders get trapped in: over-functioning or giving up entirely. Through real client stories, she unpacks how these extremes are both driven by the same craving for instant relief—and how true leadership means learning to live in the messy middle.You'll hear how one owner, “Sarah,” learned to hold her team accountable without lowering standards, what happens when you trade to-do lists for calendars, and why grace never means abandoning expectations.This conversation is packed with practical wisdom for leaders who are tired of doing it all, frustrated that delegation still feels heavy, and ready to build rhythms of ownership instead of cycles of exhaustion.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The real reason leaders oscillate between over-functioning and firing everyoneWhy to-do lists create comfort but calendars create clarity and accountabilityHow to show grace without lowering your standardsThe difference between outsourcing and ownershipWhy “getting ahead” is often avoidance disguised as productivityHow to right-size the load while keeping standards visibleKey InsightsComfort isn't clarity. A private to-do list may feel safe—but a calendar makes priorities visible, reviewable, and real.Grace ≠ lowered standards. True grace adjusts the load, not the expectation.Instant relief leads to instability. Sustainable leadership requires tolerating discomfort while building systems and rhythms.Outsourcing is temporary relief; ownership is transformation.Memorable Quotes“Comfort over clarity is not leadership—it's avoidance.” – Chanie Wilschanski“Grace never means lowering the standard. You right-size the load while keeping the standard visible.” – Chanie Wilschanski“Outsourcing brings relief. Ownership builds leadership.” – Chanie Wilschanski“When you complain about doing something, it just means you need more reps.” – Chanie WilschanskiWhy This Matters for School LeadersHelps leaders recognize and break the over-functioning vs. burnout cycleTeaches practical ways to build accountability without micromanagingReinforces the connection between standards, systems, and sustainable leadershipEmpowers leaders to replace chaos with structure—and delegation with ownershipResources & Next StepsAudit your leadership rhythms: Where are you over-functioning or lowering standards?Define your school's standards—what's visible, measurable, and consistent?Replace your team's to-do lists with a shared calendar rhythm this week.Ready to delegate without burning out?

Focused Transformation Coaching - A 6-week private coaching experience designed to help you move through one major block or transition in your life.In this deeply personal and illuminating solo episode, Lana explores one of the most overlooked yet transformative aspects of healing and consciousness work—learning to receive. Drawing inspiration from her 5-MeO-DMT experience and her work as an Energy Leadership coach, she breaks down why receiving often feels so difficult, the cultural conditioning that drives over-giving and over-functioning, and how we can shift our energy to create balance, trust, and flow.Apply for 1:1 energy coaching with LanaTopics Covered: The energetics of receiving as an active surrenderBreaking down the energy of the caregiverRecognizing when giving turns into over-givingReconnecting to balance between giving and receivingReprogramming the inner narratives that block receivingThe four energetic blocks: limiting beliefs, interpretations, assumptions, and gremlinsHow to shift from catabolic to anabolic (low to high) consciousnessTrusting life, love, and abundance as forms of receivingExplore Coaching with Lana:⁠Focused Transformation Coaching⁠ - 6 Week Micro-ProgramIboga Integration & Prep Coaching⁠⁠⁠ (NEW-now enrolling)Psychedelically Informed Life Coaching⁠⁠⁠ (6 Month Program)Stay Connected to Modern Psychedelics:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@modernpsychedelics⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠Modern Psychedelics YouTube⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠www.modernpsychedelics.net⁠⁠⁠Substack: The Healthy Ego⁠⁠Free Resources:FREE Iboga Preparation Guide⁠FREE Set Better Goals⁠FREE Integration Journal ⁠FREE Intention Setting Journal⁠FREE Psychedelic Ceremony Checklist⁠FREE Playlists for Psychedelic Journeys + Integration⁠DISCLAIMER: Modern Psychedelics does not endorse or support the illegal consumption of any substances.

Are you “too well” to get help for ADHD? In this solo episode, I shine a light on one of the most overlooked faces of ADHD — the women who look like they're “coping” but are really over-functioning themselves into burnout. You'll hear why being told you're “too well” or “not struggling badly enough” can be just as invalidating and harmful as being dismissed entirely, and why support is still essential even if you appear to be managing. What you'll learn in this episode: * "The many faces of ADHD" as the theme of ADHD Awareness Month * Why I don't use the label “high-functioning” * My friend's story of being told she wasn't “struggling enough” for referral for assessment * The hidden shame of women with ADHD who look like they're coping * Why coping isn't thriving - you still need support even if you're holding it together

Dr. Rick and Forrest explore the silent killer of relationships: resentment. They discuss resentment as a combination of perceived grievance (“I was wronged”) and helplessness (“and I can't fix it”), before talking about how over-functioning and control tendencies can lead to resentment in relationships - one person shoulders more of the load while quietly stewing about it. Topics include the role of rumination in keeping resentment alive, the difference between legitimate grievances and toxic rumination, and why resentment can feel protective. Rick shares a step-by-step framework for handling resentment when repair isn't possible, while Forrest highlights how communication and claiming agency can be powerful antidotes. Key Topics: 00:00: Intro 04:14: Legitimate grievances vs. unhealthy resentment 09:44: How perceptions of injustice and helplessness fuel resentment 20:04: Claiming your agency 34:41: How to work through resentment with others 50:11: How to work through resentment when you can't work through it with others 1:02:51: Recap Grief and Loss Course: In this four-week online program Rick will help you soothe emotional pain, find perspective and meaning, and hold whatever happened with acceptance and compassion.

Work-life balance has become a buzz phrase in recent years, especially since the intrusion of smartphones began edging their way into so-called “free time.” In this episode, Thom explains why free time and work aren't necessarily exclusive of each other, potentially making work-life balance unnecessary.Episode Highlights[00:45] Routine Work has Been Around Forever[03:18] What Do I Do?[05:28] Vedic Meditation - A Major Dose of Unboundedness[08:26] A Neuroplastic Brain[12:26] Work Becomes an Expression of Happiness[14:58] A New Style of Functioning[19:14] Q - How Do You Work Surrounded by Stressed People?[19:42] A - Find Somewhere ElseUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Over-functioning leadership fuels burnout and pressure. In this episode, discover why carrying too much erodes trust — and how recalibration empowers your team, family, and closest relationships.High-capacity humans often over-function without realizing it. You step in, anticipate needs, carry logistics, and even absorb emotions — all in the name of service. But instead of helping, this performance erodes trust and spreads nervous system stress to your team, family, and closest relationships.In today's episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks why over-functioning leadership isn't just burnout — it's identity misalignment showing up as nervous system bracing. You'll hear how co-regulation works, why your team “catches” your stress, and why presence — not pressure — is the real leadership advantage.Through the colorful legacy of Herb Kelleher, co-founder of Southwest Airlines, you'll see how humor, trust, and empowerment created a thriving culture. His story proves what neuroscience confirms: empowerment builds capacity, over-control stunts it.This episode is rooted in the heartbeat of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — not another leadership tactic or personal branding hack, but the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool work again. Because when identity precedes behavior, your nervous system shifts, your presence expands, and those you lead can finally rise.Today's Micro Recalibration: Replace rescuing with requesting. Instead of carrying it all, choose one clear ask, offer one resource, or hand off one responsibility. Watch how your team, family, or circle responds when you empower instead of over-function.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

High-functioning depression is a silent struggle for many. Are you walking through life, feeling overwhelmed, but still managing to keep it all together? Dr. Joseph shares insights from her groundbreaking, peer-reviewed study, the first of its kind on high-functioning depression. She explains why many people with depression symptoms continue to function, showing up to work and managing their responsibilities, often while wearing a mask to hide their pain. They may not experience joy or pleasure, a symptom known as anhedonia, which can be a key indicator of this condition.

Our conversation challenges the traditional medical approach to mental health, which often requires a person to reach a point of crisis before they can receive a diagnosis or treatment. We explore why this "wait until you're at stage four" mentality is so flawed and how we can instead adopt a preventative mindset, similar to what we see in cardiology. We also dive into the fascinating link between past trauma and the need to be constantly busy. Dr. Joseph's research shows that high-functioning individuals often avoid dealing with their pain by taking on more work and distracting themselves.

Who we surround ourselves with has the power to influence our faith — not just in theory, but in how we live it out daily. In this episode, we unpack what it means to see grace modeled in community, to be stretched in our thoughts, beliefs, and lifestyle, and to grow through trust.We ask: What does it really mean to be equipped as a believer? How do we continue to pour out without running dry — and where do Sabbath rest and hardship fit into that journey?We explore three key areas of trust:— Trusting in God's grace— Trusting that His grace will meet us as we step out— Trusting the grace God has given others — even when it feels vulnerableIf you've ever sensed a unique grace on your life and wondered what it looks like to develop and walk it out intentionally, this conversation is for you.

You guys asked us to run it back on this topic so here we go again- This one's for the overachievers, emotional contortionists, and secret softies. Nique and Ress get real about the cost of being an over functioner — when vulnerability feels unsafe, and slowing down feels like failure. When being soft feels risky, and hyper-independence becomes your whole personality.From childhood pressure to adult burnout, they get vulnerable about emotional armor, grief over lost girlhood, and why slowing down feels terrifying (but necessary). If you've ever been praised for your independence while quietly drowning, prepare to feel seen.
