Your heart reveals more about your performance capacity than you think. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Leah Lagos, clinical psychologist and performance expert, to explore the science of heart rate variability and how a simple breathing practice can transform cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and long-term resilience. From working with elite athletes on the PGA Tour to coaching world leaders and executives, Dr. Lagos breaks down how resonant frequency breathing changes baseline heart rhythms, prevents cognitive fatigue, and allows high performers to make critical decisions without fear. This conversation will equip you with the physiological tools that separate sustained excellence from burnout. Here's what you'll learn: Why heart rate variability is a more reliable indicator of cognitive capacity than most people realize How 15 minutes of resonant frequency breathing twice a day can rewire your nervous system Why comparing your HRV to others is meaningless and what metrics actually matter for performance Want to improve your performance? Start with your heart. ---- Show Notes: 02:58 – Dr. Leah Lagos explains the science of resonant frequency breathing and how it creates homeostasis in the nervous system. 06:20 – Why comparing your HRV to others is meaningless and what metrics actually matter for performance. 12:06 – How chronic stress compounds over time and shows up reliably in your heart rate variability. 13:36 – The lifestyle factors that tank HRV: alcohol, dehydration, excessive caffeine, and who you spend time with. 17:59 – Why HRV training expands prefrontal lobe bandwidth and prevents cognitive fatigue under pressure. 22:35 – How resonant frequency breathing differs from meditation and produces measurable baseline changes in four weeks. 28:45 – The practical protocol: 15 minutes twice a day, finding your resonant frequency, and committing for ten weeks. 37:35 – The role of vagal tone in connecting heart, gut, and brain for better decision-making and health. 39:25 – Why breathwork is a must-have practice for longevity and sustained excellence, not just recovery. ---- Links & Resources: Dr. Leah Lagos Heart Breath Mind by Dr. Leah Lagos Oura Ring WHOOP Garmin Polar Alex Honnold ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

Charles Duhigg: Supercommunicators Charles Duhigg is a Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative journalist and the author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better. He is a winner of the National Academies of Sciences, National Journalism, and George Polk awards. He writes for The New Yorker and other publications and is the author of Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection (Amazon, Bookshop)*. A lot of us grew up in a world where most of our relationships started in person. That means many of us are beautifully equipped for a world that no longer exists. In this conversation, Charles and I discuss how to get better at connecting in a remote-first world. Key Points When the telephone first became popular, people had to learn how to communicate with it. We're at a similar inflection point with digital communication. We all have three kinds of conversations: (1) What's this really about? (practical/decision-making), (2) How do we feel? (emotional), and (3) Who are we? (identity). Many of us tend to default to practical/decision-making conversations online and miss conversations about emotion and identity. Ask questions that invite an emotional or identity response. Instead of, “Where do you live?” consider a shift like, “What do you love about where you live?” Notice when people bring elements into a conversation that aren't related to the topic. These clues, especially online, can point to entry points for emotional connection. Supercommunicators pay just a bit more attention to how people communicate than the rest of us. A slight shift can make a big difference.

Sometimes the hardest pain to name is the one hidden behind achievement, routines, and “keeping it together.” In this episode, we explore why unresolved inner patterns don't disappear—they reorganize your life from the background. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf welcomes Dr. Christiaan Oranje for an experiential, puzzle-style conversation on suppression, emotional numbness, and why mindset work alone may not create lasting change. This episode is for anyone who feels exhausted despite doing “all the right things,” and wants a clearer path toward resilience, emotional clarity, and sustainable healing. About the Guest: Dr. Christiaan Oranje is an international transformational speaker and best-selling author of The Elvis Syndrome. He works primarily with affluent women over 40 who feel unfulfilled despite outward success, and he shares his “triple dynamic” framework for deeper transformation. Key Takeaways: Notice how numbing “solves” discomfort short-term but reduces access to joy long-term. Use life triggers as mirrors—signals pointing to what needs healing, not proof you're failing. Expect growth to be non-linear: resurfacing patterns can mean you're ready for a deeper layer. Build a “safety net” before deep inner work: structure, skills, and self-care reduce resistance. Practice shifting from fear-based states into a more resourceful “state of excellence” in real time. How to Connect With the Guest: https://thesoulmattersmentor.com/  A free downloadable ebook and a complimentary consultation are available, listeners can reach out via email - confidential@walkingtheredcarpet.co.uk Listeners can access free downloadable eBook, designed to help them quickly transform any negative feeling or thought quickly, rather than carrying them for longer than necessary. This eBook comes with three guided audio tracks, that walk listeners step-by-step through the practice, making it easy to apply in real life.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Around Black Friday last year, I started getting strange emails from people asking me to cancel their subscription. Only, they weren't from Haven members, and they were talking about a weekly charge of $7. After a brief panic and some investigation, I confirmed this was not possible. I assumed these messages were bots phishing for something. Then my attention was caught by one that said, “Hi, I’ve just been charged for the Haven Bible app, but I cancelled my subscription through the app prior to the charging date.” Ahh. It must be a case of mistaken identity. Mystery solved! Well, half of it at least… https://youtu.be/mP6rxVuBmRo …But Why Were People Emailing Me? A quick search for “cancel Haven Bible App subscription” showed a knowledge base page on my website as the top result. I added a message to inform people that this was not the site they were looking for. Still today, I'm getting messages from people who scroll past it and tell me to refund them. I even received a second email accusing me of stealing their money because I refused to help them cancel their subscription. I had already replied to their first email, pointing them elsewhere. Bizarre! It has been a slightly sobering experience, pointing to how unobservant people can be at times. The Auto-Responder I created a short auto-responder to reply to these messages. I asked them to drop a quick reply when they work out how to cancel it so I could pass that information along to others in the same boat. Only one of about 60 people who emailed me bothered to follow up. A special shout-out to Lauren for taking the time to do that. I've been able to point people in a more helpful direction as a result. In reality, I don't know if it's genuinely difficult to cancel this subscription. What Is This Haven Bible App? After my search, the algorithms started delivering short videos of people promoting the Haven Bible App. It's been heavily marketed by influencers. I became curious and began to notice overlaps with certain self-help industry mechanics we've been unpacking here in recent months. The app is an AI chatbot that answers user questions and prompts with responses from biblical texts. It's marketed as a way to get simplified explanations, moral guidance, help with reading the Bible, and a sense of connection with a wise guide. Tools, Guidance, and Quiet Influence It's worth considering the issues surrounding the use, trust, and reliance on this kind of technology as a source of information and guidance. Despite being presented as objective, a chatbot never is. By nature, it always contains biases. It's programmed and personalised. Over time, it can shape our beliefs, values, and worldview based on the personal information we give it. There's nothing necessarily inherently wrong with that, but it's easy to imagine how this could be abused, with the user not noticing that their critical thinking is gradually replaced by conformity to a narrow, dogmatic framework. There's also the issue of AI sycophancy. This is often described as a deliberate feature designed to hook users, creating a sense of affinity with the technology as if it were a feeling, thinking being. This entered public discussion in 2025 when researchers and mental health professionals raised concerns about what they described as “AI-related psychosis.” One widely reported case involved a man called Allan Brooks, who became misled into believing he had discovered a world-changing mathematical formula after hundreds of hours interacting with ChatGPT. These systems are designed to shift from instruments to relationships through encouragement and affirmation. They tend to praise and validate user input, reinforce existing beliefs, and create a sense of safety in the interaction. They don't require you to articulate feelings or needs clearly, and they reduce the need to negotiate meaning with others. First- and second-person language further reinforces the illusion of connection. Recognising Unhealthy Dependency on an App A useful question here is whether a tool helps us grow beyond it or cultivates dependency. When dependency forms, creators can charge whatever they like for continued access. And will likely extract other information, such as personal data. Habit formation is central to platforms like this. The perception of a companion you can ask anything of creates reliance not just for knowledge, but for reassurance and connection. Features like reminders and streak maintenance mirror the same techniques used by apps like Duolingo. Not to keep people learning, but to keep them opening the app. The important distinction is whether a tool helps us develop skills and understanding we can take with us, or whether it locks value inside its own ecosystem. With Duolingo, it became clear over time that keeping people engaged mattered more than helping them learn a language. When leaving feels costly, users become vulnerable to price increases and further extraction of their personal data and other private information, which can be used to sell additional layers of dependence in response to newly identified desires and needs. Why This Matters to Me I was in two minds about writing this experience. But something about it got under my skin, and it's not just about the emails, the confusion, or being asked to cancel something I have nothing to do with. It's seeing another example of wider cultural patterns we keep circling. Patterns that keep us doubting ourselves, disconnecting from one another, and valuing manufactured certainty over lived complexity. I understand the appeal of tools like this. I also understand the value they can bring to people. But it's important to zoom out and notice what gets lost when we trade depth for convenience and speed. Often, that trade sabotages the very thing we're seeking, trapping us in a cycle of chasing the next tool that promises meaning through hacks and shortcuts, while quietly pulling us further away from the sites of meaning we encounter in the messy beauty of real human connection, uncertainty, and mystery.

In this episode of Michael Easley InContext, Michael is joined by Hanna Seymour to discuss her book Everyday Spiritual Habits and the powerful idea that spiritual disciplines are meant to become reflexes, not burdens. Drawing from Scripture, spiritual formation theology, and the science of habit formation, Hanna explains how small, daily practices—what she calls “seed habits”—can lead to lasting spiritual maturity over time. Rather than chasing an idealized version of quiet times or comparing ourselves to pastors and scholars, this conversation reframes spiritual disciplines as accessible, grace-filled rhythms for real life. Together, Michael and Hanna explore prayer, Scripture, joy, gratitude, celebration, solitude, and practicing the presence of God in ordinary moments—while also addressing distractions, comparison, and the pressures of modern life. This episode offers a hopeful vision for anyone longing to walk tethered to Jesus in the middle of busy, demanding seasons.

4 Simple Ways to Stay Rooted in God's Word When Life Is Too Busy (No Extra Time Needed)  Struggling to stay in the Bible as a busy working mom? You're juggling work deadlines, kids' schedules, meals, laundry, and that endless mental load... and your quiet time often gets pushed aside. The guilt creeps in: "I should be reading the Word more," but the day feels impossible. Friend, God isn't keeping score—He's inviting you into His presence right in the middle of the chaos. In this encouraging episode, I share 4 simple, grace-filled ways to stay rooted in Scripture without adding more to your plate—no complicated routines, no guilt, just real nourishment for your soul. These practical shifts fit your real life as a Christian working mom, helping combat overwhelm, mom guilt, and spiritual dryness. Rooted in verses like Isaiah 26:3, Matthew 11:28, and 2 Corinthians 12:9, you'll walk away reminded that one intentional encounter with God's Word is enough when it's fueled by His grace. Perfect for back-to-school busyness, heavy seasons, or anytime you feel "too busy for God." Key Takeaways for Busy Christian Moms - You're not failing if devotions aren't long—small, consistent doses nourish deeply. - Micro-moments of whispered verses in transitions build roots over time. - Audio Scripture lets the Word come to you during laundry, commutes, or carpool. - Habit stacking ties God's Word to what you already do—no new "to-dos." - Release guilt: His grace is sufficient, and faithfulness > perfection.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by former Navy SEAL and FBI task force officer Jonathan Gilliam, Texas State Representative and Republican Congressional Candidate Steve Toth, and Alvin Lui of Courage Is a Habit to expose how the radical left weaponizes immigration, NGOs, and institutions to destabilize communities.First, Gilliam warns that weak “pathway” proposals from Republicans risk handing Congress back to the left, while highlighting how federal law enforcement successfully restored order in Minneapolis, despite resistance from local leadership.Texas State Rep. Steve Toth contrasts the chaos in blue states with Texas' aggressive ICE cooperation, explaining why sanctuary cities protect criminals over citizens and why Trump's immigration policies earned growing support from Hispanic communities. He also makes the case for codifying executive actions and revoking sanctuary city charters.Finally, Alvin Lui pulls back the curtain on Minnesota's deep NGO entanglements, revealing how the Walz administration has partnered with the violent ICE Watch Network, a group that actively obstructs federal law enforcement, while similar radical organizations seep into K-12 education and public policy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Day 7 the final day of this morning meditation series on how to start your day in a way that can truly change your whole life. Today is a weekly review and integration practice—a chance to reflect on what shifted for you, reinforce what worked, and turn these tools into a routine you can actually keep. You'll revisit the key techniques from the week—the affirmation, Energy Breath, Agri Mudra for adapting to change, and First Chakra grounding—and you'll be guided to choose a simple "carry-forward" ritual you can repeat in just a few minutes each morning. This final episode helps you finish strong, feel proud of your progress, and step into the next week with more calm, clarity, and intention. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to a special meditation series all about how you start your day—because the first few minutes after you wake up can quietly shape your mood, your focus, your choices, and ultimately the direction of your life. I created this series a few years ago, and I'm sharing it with you now as you finish out the first month of this year—because if you've been wanting a real shift, this is one of the most powerful places to begin. Starting your day the right way isn't about being perfect or adding more to your to-do list; it's about creating a simple inner rhythm that helps you feel grounded, clear, and intentional before the world starts pulling at you. Over the next several days, you'll be guided through short, supportive practices designed to help you wake up your body, calm your mind, and set the emotional tone that can change everything.

If habit change is really about personal effort, why do so many carefully built habits quietly fall over the cliff? The answer isn't motivation and it's certainly not willpower. Bah, grit! Habit change is based instead on your environment. It's almost always based on the company you keep. Let's find out why your environment is the most important habit changing strategy of all.

Send us a textWhen it comes to creativity and taking action on our dreams, there's a lot of talk about moving forward, but we don't spend nearly enough time looking back.That's why I'm adding this brand-new habit to the Devoted Dreamers Habit Series: Scheduled Reflection. It's a practice I didn't include when I first launched the series, but it's one I've come to see as essential for long-term faithfulness to a God-shaped dream.Here's why: Without a consistent reflection practice, we miss key opportunities for growth and learning. When was the last time you took a pause to reflect on something you tried? It could even be a new habit you attempted during this series. Did you keep it up all week? Was it a total flop? Did you find yourself making adjustments with each new attempt? When you skip the reflection, you also miss out on the potential mindset shift that comes as you consider what you might do differently next time. But when you build a new reflection practice, it helps you recognize what God is already doing in and through you.Want to make it easy? I share a simple three-question reflection framework you can use weekly, monthly, or anytime you feel stuck. If you want to pursue your dream with steadiness instead of burnout, this habit matters right now.Get the Habit Tracker here: merrittonsa.com/habits

After hitting a 120-pound "lowest point" at age 26 and facing emergency colon surgery, Dane Johnson explains how the failure of conventional medicine became the necessary curriculum for his transformation from a bedridden patient into a man on a mission. Alongside Dr. Crawford, he discusses the dangers of "Magic Protocol Syndrome" and the vital necessity of transitioning from a victim to the CEO of your own health. A key takeaway is that shifting your internal identity must occur before you can truly change your biology, as healing requires divorcing yourself from standard Western medical thinking to build a customized, evolving lifestyle.The conversation further explores the neurobiology of gratitude, emphasizing that you must "get happy before you get healthy" to move the body out of a sympathetic stress state. This shift allows the parasympathetic system to begin repairing the gut, a process Dane supports through his "SHIELD" acronym and the concept of "Food Philosophy," which involves assessing dietary risks in real-time. Ultimately, the episode reveals that the discipline required to heal a chronic illness is the exact same foundation needed for extraordinary success in life, proving that growth—whether in health or business—is a lifelong journey of seeking 1% improvements every day.ResourcesUnlimited Power by Tony RobbinsAwaken the Giant Within by Tony RobbinsBreaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe DispenzaSupergut by Dr. William DavisThe Maker's Diet by Jordan RubinBreaking the Vicious Cycle (SCD - Specific Carbohydrate Diet) by Elaine GottschallCCLifestyle Shield Program: https://crohnscolitislifestyle.mykajabi.com/shieldprogram?el=websiteProducts 528 Innovations Lasers NeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Stimpod STEMREGEN® Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

What if the things we may tend to roll our eyes at—rituals, journaling, gratitude—are actually ancient technologies for healing? AND, they are now being backed by modern science!  In this episode, I'm joined by my new friend, bestselling author and former Comedy Central executive Tara Schuster, to talk about her new book, This Journal F*cking Works: The Science, Ritual, and Art of Journaling, and the practices that quietly but profoundly change lives. Our conversation bridges science and spirit, skepticism and surrender, as Tara shares how journaling—something she once completely dismissed—became a lifeline, a ritual, and the road back to herself. We talk about reparenting ourselves, inner-child healing, and why grief and gratitude aren't opposites but companions. We explore how our culture's loss of ritual has left us overstimulated, disconnected, and dis-eased and why creating sacred pauses in your day can fundamentally change the way you experience your life. Tara also shares how burnout, success, and self-abandonment led her back to the simplest tools—and why science now supports what intuition and our ancestors have always known.

That moment an opportunity appears and you quietly start building a case for why you shouldn't take it.Using the launch of her new YouTube channel as a real-time example, Monique shares what it looks like to move forward without waiting to feel “ready.” She unpacks the familiar fears that often surface when visibility increases, such as What if it flops? What if people judge me? What if I'm not enough? and offers a grounded reframe.For anyone sitting on a pivot, a transition, or a new chapter, Monique encourages you to shoot the shot, stop self-disqualifying and see what happens. LINKSJoin Monique's NewsletterApply for her upcoming Retreat March 1-4, 2026 in Palm Springs, CAGEMS DROPPED“​Don't ​count ​yourself ​out ​before ​​you ​give ​it ​a ​shot.”“We ​have ​this ​​very ​interesting ​relationship ​to ​our ​achievements ​as ​high ​achievers ​where ​it's ​like ​as ​soon ​as ​you ​achieve ​something, ​you ​write ​it ​off. ​It's ​just ​like, ​okay, ​on ​to ​the ​next.We ​have ​just ​been ​dismissing ​over ​and ​over ​and ​over ​again, ​not ​enoughing ​over ​and ​over ​and ​over ​again. ​Through ​every milestone, ​every ​point ​of ​new ​expansion, ​every ​big ​lesson ​learned, ​or every ​iInternal ​shift.

Perimenopause can feel confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming — but what if it's actually an invitation to listen, reset, and rebuild? In this episode, Bria Gadd, also known as The Period Whisperer, reframes perimenopause as a powerful turning point and shares practical tools to help women stop fighting their bodies and start working with them.

"So many women are incredible at pushing through, but this season doesn't reward that — it requires a new relationship with your body." "Health debt is what happens when energy supply and demand no longer meet — and like financial debt, it compounds." "If your body isn't responding the way it used to, it's not failing — it's trying to survive." "Skipping meals is one of the fastest ways to drive cortisol and worsen hormone imbalance." "Your body at midlife is the result of the last 40 to 50 years — which is why the path forward has to be personalized."

Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit. This is a habit that you'll never want to break. The practical wisdom from daily Proverbs equips us to walk in wisdom, making us better in handling the multiple decisions and interactions that come our way. God left us a GOLD MINE in His Word, and all we need to do is read it and apply it to our lives. The peace of God is not related to our circumstances. It is a result of walking with Him. Friendship is one of many areas touched on in Proverbs 27, and verse 17 gives us a chance to consider friendship from two angles: the kind of friends we choose and the kind of friend that we are to others. God meant for us to keep each other spiritually sharp. Here's a great reminder verse for the week: "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."

Top performance coach and author Brad Stulberg joins Forrest to reframe and reclaim excellence. Brad explains how real excellence - involved engagement with something you care about - is the healthy middle path between over-the-top hustle-culture and detached nonchalance. They discuss the current culture of pseudo-excellence, the risks and rewards of caring deeply, how modern life can derail us, and how the real prize is the person you become while trying to reach your goals. Brad shares practical tools to build the habit of excellence: clear aims, micro-milestones, consistency over intensity, constraint-based discipline, and connection. About our Guest: Brad is a regular contributor at the New York Times, the co-host of the Excellence, Actually podcast, and on faculty at the University of Michigan's Graduate School of Public Health. He's also the author of a number of books, including The Way of Excellence: A Guide to True Greatness and Deep Satisfaction in a Chaotic World.
