In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock tackle one of the hardest parts of growth: what happens when you change…but the people around you don't. If you've gone through deconstruction, started holding your beliefs more loosely, or found yourself living with more nuance, you've probably felt the tension at the dinner table—Do I speak up? Stay quiet? Change the subject? Because the truth is, most of the time the tension isn't even theological… it's relational.They talk honestly about why your growth can feel threatening to others (even when you're not trying to change anyone), the unspoken agreements relationships can be built on, and the three common temptations that show up in this season: shrinking, proving, or withdrawing. From there, they give five practical tools to help you stay connected without losing yourself—how to lead with curiosity, stop managing other people's reactions, and build safe spaces where you don't have to translate your entire journey just to be understood.If you've felt misunderstood, exhausted, or tempted to pull back from the people you love, this one is for you.In this episode:Why the tension isn't theological—it's relationalThe 3 temptations: shrink, prove, withdraw5 practical tools for staying connected while you growWhen distance is wisdom (boundaries, not punishment)Staying grounded in who you're becoming00:00 - Welcome Back + Quick Banter00:45 - Share the Episode + 26 Life Theme (1 John 2:6)01:34 - Recap: Deconstruction, Stuck Seasons, Staying Tender02:20 - Recap: Rebuilding Trust (Brené Brown's BRAVING)02:50 - Recap: Living Without Certainty (The Sin of Certainty)03:22 - Today's Topic: When You Change but Others Don't04:08 - The Real Tension: Family, Friends, and Staying Connected05:08 - When People Speak in Absolutes + You Feel Misunderstood06:17 - Dinner Table Moment: Speak Up, Stay Quiet, or Shift Topics?07:30 - It's Not Theological—It's Relational Risk09:20 - When Your Shift Feels Threatening to Others10:16 - Unspoken Agreements: “We've Always Believed This”11:34 - 3 Temptations: Shrink, Prove, or Withdraw12:15 - Temptation 1: Shrinking to Keep the Room Calm13:16 - Temptation 2: Proving It (Over-explaining, Articles, Debates)14:01 - Temptation 3: Withdrawing Fully (Exhaustion + New Language)16:06 - 5 Practical Tools for Connection (Overview)17:23 - Tool 1: Decide What's Worth Discussing (Hill vs Habit)19:42 - Tool 2: Lead With Curiosity, Not Correction20:36 - Tool 3: Let Go of Being Understood Immediately21:45 - Tool 4: Stop Managing Their Reaction22:20 - Tool 5: Build New Safe Spaces (Relational Oxygen)23:27 - When Distance Is Wise (Boundaries, Not Punishment)24:42 - Stay Grounded in Who You're Becoming27:11 - Next Week: Reconstruction vs Deconstruction (Which Is Harder?)27:44 - Hockey Sidebar: Team USA Beats Canada + “Won It for Johnny”28:37 - Closing: You're Loved (Nothing You Can Do About It)

Are you growing your company or are you keeping it small by being the hero?In this solo episode, Bill unpacks the hidden addiction leaders have to being needed; constantly jumping in, solving problems, and staying essential to everything.

Most people in CME and medical writing are using AI. Fewer have an actual workflow — something documented, repeatable, and defensible enough to explain to a client or compliance reviewer.

Hi mama, In Part 3 of the Money Mindset Mini Series, we're shifting from saving strategies to sustainable habits that actually work for busy families. This episode isn't about perfection or spreadsheets that overwhelm you by day three. It's about small mindset shifts that create long-term peace around money. Inside this episode, we cover: ✔️ Why knowing your numbers changes everything ✔️ The 24-hour rule and the “Buy Next Paycheck” list ✔️ How to create a 10-minute weekly money check-in ✔️ Setting spending thresholds that protect tired decisions ✔️ Tracking ONE category for 30 days ✔️ Choosing your family's Big 3 financial priorities ✔️ Upgrading your language from “we can't afford it” to “that's not in our plan right now” You'll also hear real-life examples from our current season… preparing for college expenses, senior year events, and meaningful family travel… and how clarity removes guilt and stress from financial decisions. Remember: progress beats perfection. Pick one habit. One shift. One step forward. If this episode resonated, share it with another working mom who might need encouragement around money and mindset. And if you need hands-on help building a budget that fits your real life, check out the Budget Besties system linked in the show notes. You are not bad with money. You are busy.

The Habit of Verbally Sharing Jesus - If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay... let not one go there unwarned and un-prayed for - Charles Spurgeon

SummaryIn this Q&A roundtable, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen talk about what to do when life gets stressful and everything feels out of control. They explain that most people panic, quit their goals, and then feel even worse. Instead, they tell you to slow down, breathe, and focus on what you can control, like meal prep, water, steps, and protein.They answer a question about wanting to throw your scale across the room. They explain that weight goes up and down for many reasons, and you need more weigh-ins each week to see the real trend. They also talk about why avoiding the scale can backfire later.Next, they talk about “bulk” vs “lean” pre-workout and explain it depends on your goal, but most people don't need different supplements for different phases. Finally, they answer a question about struggling to believe healthy habits can last forever. They remind you that you don't have to do it forever right now. You just have to do it one more day, and keep stacking small wins.Chapters(00:00) Q&A Roundtable Intro and Why People Panic When Life Gets Hard(01:05) Slow Down, Make a Plan, Focus on the Biggest Needle Driver(02:46) Your Reaction to Chaos Can Make Everything Worse(05:10) Client Story: Staying on Track During Stress(08:22) Q1: How to Stop Hating the Scale Every Weigh-In(10:14) Why You Need More Weigh-Ins for Better Data(12:00) The Scale Is Not a Grade for Your Effort(16:08) Maintenance Tip: Keep Weighing In and Set an “Oh Crap” Number(20:05) Q2: Bulk vs Lean Pre-Workout(22:55) Q3: “How Do I Believe This Can Stick for Life?”(25:02) One More Day and Shrink the Habit(29:29) Wrap Up and Submit QuestionsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down the REAL difference between excuses and choices and why this matters so much in food addiction recovery. Most people think they have a “motivation problem,” but in reality, they have an honesty problem. Excuses sound reasonable, but they keep you stuck in the same cycles. When you start calling your choices what they are, choices, you take your power back.Mary also teaches a simple but powerful habit strategy called “Good, Better, Best.” This framework helps you stop thinking in perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking. You'll learn how to get more consistent with the habits that actually drive results in food sobriety: morning sunlight, walking, lifting weights, prioritizing sleep, and eating real food.If you want progress with food freedom, emotional eating, binge eating, weight loss, or breaking sugar addiction then THIS episode shows you how. Because lasting change comes from daily choices and consistent habits, not extreme diets or temporary motivation.Grab your copy of my FREE 9 page Beginner's Guide to Food Sobriety https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietyguideFood Sobriety Mini Course -https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietymcFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4915319108493196/?ref=share_group_linkDo you need private coaching and intensive daily contact with a coach?

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with a bold challenge: are we being told the full truth about our health—or just the convenient version? John Rush is joined by Dr. Kelly Victory, an independent physician and nationally recognized public health expert, for a wide-ranging and provocative conversation. Should some prescription drugs—like antibiotics—be available over the counter? Would it lower costs and restore patient freedom, or create new risks? Then the discussion pivots to hormone replacement therapy. Is declining testosterone or estrogen just “normal aging,” or are people suffering unnecessarily? And how do you pursue hormone therapy safely—without falling for clinic hype? The hour turns more intense as they examine rising cancer rates, particularly in younger adults. Is it a coincidence, lifestyle, COVID itself, or the mRNA shots? Dr. Kelly outlines concerns about immune disruption, lipid nanoparticles, and batch inconsistencies. What can people do now? Are antibody tests and certain supplements worth considering? If you've ever felt like key details are missing from the mainstream narrative, this episode asks the hard questions—without apology. Websites Mentioned * https://LabCorp.com * https://howbadismybatch.com HOUR 2 Hour 2 turns up the heat. John Rush welcomes Alvin Louie, President of Courage Is a Habit, for a tactical breakdown of what he calls “language deconstruction.” Are cultural debates—especially around transgender ideology—being won not by facts, but by redefining words? Alvin shares a provocative role-play and a six-month social experiment designed to expose what he believes are manipulative debate tactics. How do you avoid getting dragged into the “swamp” and losing moral clarity? Then John pivots to media accountability. With the FCC reportedly scrutinizing The View over equal-time rules, what exactly is the Fairness Doctrine—and could it apply to late-night hosts, too? If one political candidate gets airtime, should the opponent automatically get the same? The hour closes with strong commentary on circumcision, religious doctrine, and a viral controversy involving an Islamic scholar condemning dog ownership. Are we witnessing cultural confusion—or a deeper ideological shift? If you care about free speech, faith, media bias, and parental authority, this hour demands your attention. Guest Timestamps * 1:17 – Alvin Louie - https://courageisahabit.org HOUR 3 Hour 3 opens with Jerzee Joe delivering a sharp economic perspective: Why do nations with the same geography end up worlds apart economically? From Haiti vs. the Dominican Republic to East vs. West Berlin, is government the defining factor between prosperity and collapse? The conversation intensifies with analysis of media silence surrounding controversial political rhetoric, questions about crime trends, and ongoing investigations tied to Black Lives Matter leadership. Are Americans getting the full story—or just curated headlines? Then, energy policy takes center stage as Kenny Stein, Vice President of Policy at the American Energy Alliance and the Institute for Energy Research, joins the program. What did the Trump administration actually roll back in EPA regulations? Were EV mandates quietly being imposed through regulatory backdoors? Why are hybrid vehicles outperforming fully electric models in a true free-market environment? And did Toyota outsmart Detroit by refusing to chase political trends? From governance and urban decline to energy freedom and the realities of the auto industry, this hour challenges narratives and asks: What happens when policy overrides the marketplace?

Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with a bold challenge: are we being told the full truth about our health—or just the convenient version? John Rush is joined by Dr. Kelly Victory, an independent physician and nationally recognized public health expert, for a wide-ranging and provocative conversation. Should some prescription drugs—like antibiotics—be available over the counter? Would it lower costs and restore patient freedom, or create new risks? Then the discussion pivots to hormone replacement therapy. Is declining testosterone or estrogen just “normal aging,” or are people suffering unnecessarily? And how do you pursue hormone therapy safely—without falling for clinic hype? The hour turns more intense as they examine rising cancer rates, particularly in younger adults. Is it a coincidence, lifestyle, COVID itself, or the mRNA shots? Dr. Kelly outlines concerns about immune disruption, lipid nanoparticles, and batch inconsistencies. What can people do now? Are antibody tests and certain supplements worth considering? If you've ever felt like key details are missing from the mainstream narrative, this episode asks the hard questions—without apology. Websites Mentioned * https://LabCorp.com * https://howbadismybatch.com HOUR 2 Hour 2 turns up the heat. John Rush welcomes Alvin Louie, President of Courage Is a Habit, for a tactical breakdown of what he calls “language deconstruction.” Are cultural debates—especially around transgender ideology—being won not by facts, but by redefining words? Alvin shares a provocative role-play and a six-month social experiment designed to expose what he believes are manipulative debate tactics. How do you avoid getting dragged into the “swamp” and losing moral clarity? Then John pivots to media accountability. With the FCC reportedly scrutinizing The View over equal-time rules, what exactly is the Fairness Doctrine—and could it apply to late-night hosts, too? If one political candidate gets airtime, should the opponent automatically get the same? The hour closes with strong commentary on circumcision, religious doctrine, and a viral controversy involving an Islamic scholar condemning dog ownership. Are we witnessing cultural confusion—or a deeper ideological shift? If you care about free speech, faith, media bias, and parental authority, this hour demands your attention. Guest Timestamps * 1:17 – Alvin Louie - https://courageisahabit.org HOUR 3 Hour 3 opens with Jerzee Joe delivering a sharp economic perspective: Why do nations with the same geography end up worlds apart economically? From Haiti vs. the Dominican Republic to East vs. West Berlin, is government the defining factor between prosperity and collapse? The conversation intensifies with analysis of media silence surrounding controversial political rhetoric, questions about crime trends, and ongoing investigations tied to Black Lives Matter leadership.

#199 - Healing Eczema from the Inside Out: Toxins, Steroid Withdrawal & the Identity Shift That Changes Everything with Kat Vong If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt betrayed by your own skin… If you've been told “it's just genetic” or “here's another prescription”… If you're quietly wondering whether something deeper is going on— Stop scrolling. This episode is the one you've been waiting for. Today I'm joined by my friend Kat Vong—host of the Well Done podcast and founder-in-the-making of a clean beauty brand for women with chronic skin struggles. Kat's story is raw, emotional, and wildly empowering. After years of battling off-and-on eczema that left her in physical pain and emotional exhaustion, Kat's body erupted in severe eczema just three weeks before her wedding. We're talking weeping wounds. Steroid injections. Oral steroids. Topicals on repeat. And that was just the beginning. What unfolded over the next several years included topical steroid withdrawal, toxic overload, leaky gut, postpartum depression, a NICU stay with twins at UCLA—and ultimately, a complete identity shift that changed everything. This conversation is about more than eczema. It's about the skin–gut–toxin connection. It's about stress, identity, and the nervous system. It's about what happens when you decide to heal—and cut off every other option. The best news - whether it's your skin or something else, healing.is.possible. In This Episode, We Cover: Heavy metals, phthalates, parabens—and how toxic burden shows up in your skin Leaky gut and why “everything” can suddenly become a trigger Why detox can initially make flares worse The missing piece in chronic healing: identity and mindset The hidden dangers of long-term topical steroid use What topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) actually looks like The beauty industry's blind spots—and what needs to change Practical skin barrier repair from the inside out How meditation rewires your biology (yes, really) Timestamps 00:00 – Meet Kat: severe eczema, beauty industry insider, and the wedding-week flare from hell 02:00 – Three types of steroids in three weeks (and why that mattered later) 03:30 – When the flares came back worse than before 05:00 – Discovering topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) and sleeping on towels 08:00 – The functional testing that changed everything: toxins, gut, inflammation 09:30 – Heavy metals, parabens, phthalates, mold—and why her practitioner was shocked 11:00 – Leaky gut, gluten markers, and the “everything is a trigger” phase 12:00 – Detox + TSW: when healing looks worse before it gets better 13:30 – Pregnancy, temporary glowing skin, and the devastating steroid shot before delivery 15:00 – NICU, postpartum depression, and the emotional toll of skin disease 18:30 – The surprising non-food trigger most people ignore: toxic burden 20:00 – Stress as gasoline on the inflammatory fire 21:30 – “You can't drain the bathtub if the faucet's still running.” 22:30 – Identity work: “I am someone who has eczema” vs. “I am someone who heals.” 26:00 – The meditations that changed her brain (inspired by Joe Dispenza and his books Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and You Are the Placebo) 29:00 – The desperation loop that keeps people stuck 30:00 – Decide vs. choose: cutting off every other option 31:30 – Skin barrier repair explained simply (bricks + mortar analogy) 34:00 – Makeup, shame, leadership, and not feeling “enough” in the beauty industry 37:00 – Beauty, identity, and self-worth beyond appearance 39:00 – If you feel stuck, here's what you need to hear 41:00 – Turning pain into purpose 42:00 – Kat's upcoming clean beauty brand for chronic skin conditions Let's Talk Root Causes What struck me most in this conversation? It wasn't just the heavy metals or the leaky gut (although yes, those matter). It was this: You cannot heal in the same identity that created the illness. I've seen this over and over in clinical practice. We can remove inflammatory foods. We can support detox pathways. We can rebuild the gut lining. But if someone still believes, deep down, “This is just who I am”… the body listens. Kat didn't just detox her liver. She detoxed her identity. And that's where the shift happened. If You're Struggling with Chronic Condition Right Now… Here's your gentle but firm nudge: Get proper testing. Guessing is exhausting. Reduce inflammation first (you can't drain a bathtub with the faucet running). Support detox pathways before aggressive detox. Repair the gut lining. Regulate the nervous system daily. Decide that healing is happening—even if your eyes haven't caught up yet. Your body is not broken. It's communicating. And as someone who has walked countless women through chronic conditions, autoimmunity, skin flares—I can tell you: when we address toxins, gut integrity, stress, and identity together… things change. Connect with Kat Follow Kat's amazing journey and podcast: Instagram: @thewelldonepod Personal page: @iamkatvong Website: thewelldonepod.com Her upcoming clean beauty line is being formulated specifically for women who have felt invisible in the makeup aisle. And honestly? It's about time. If this episode resonated, send it to the friend who keeps saying, “It's just my hormones,” or “I guess I just have sensitive skin.” Sometimes it's not just sensitive skin. Sometimes it's your body asking for a new story. And that story? It can end very differently than it began.   ✨Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

Does the urge to drink ever go away, or is it something you're stuck managing forever? In this Alcohol Freedom Coaching episode, Coach Hayley works with Mark, and Coach Soraya supports Michael as they share the real, messy middle of change. Mark talks about years of 30, 60, and 90-day breaks, the weight of the “alcoholic” label, and how an emotion-based goal—making alcohol immaterial in his life—finally eased the mental tug-of-war. Michael opens up about being 45 days alcohol-free, feeling “on display” in social situations, and tracing that discomfort back to a lifelong drive to fit in. These are the exact kinds of questions—about cravings, labels, and belonging—that get coached compassionately daily inside The Path. In Mark's session: Exploring if the urge to drink ever goes away through real-life data points Moving from “I'm an alcoholic who can't drink” to “alcohol is an addictive substance” Why time-based goals kept him chasing “normal drinking” Adopting an emotion-based goal: making alcohol immaterial in his life Using ACT and curiosity to meet cognitive dissonance instead of fighting it Noticing how cravings and thoughts faded dramatically by around 90 days Reclaiming mental real estate, time, and energy for what actually matters And more In Michael's session: Feeling like he has to explain his choice and wondering does the urge to drink ever go away Using an ankle injury as a temporary “cover story” while he builds confidence Linking his discomfort to a deep drive to fit in and avoid conflict Connecting current social anxiety to teen anorexia and years of trying to blend in Learning that friends' reactions often reveal their unease with alcohol Shifting from autopilot drinking to conscious “pilot” mode with curiosity and logic Letting the world adapt to his alcohol-free choice instead of shrinking himself And more Hayley Scherders is a certified TNM Coach with training from the Canadian Addiction and Mental Health Association.

If you're serious about building a brand that actually moves people: https://freebrandcall.com/mattlebris Michael Chernow shares the brutal truth about addiction, ego, and the dangerous comfort traps that keep most people stuck in cycles they secretly hate but feel too afraid to leave. He reveals the psychological battle between faith and fear, explaining how the voice in your head that says you're not enough is often just your ego trying to protect you from discomfort — and why most people unknowingly take the bait. Michael breaks down how structure, discipline, and a 5AM routine became the foundation that rebuilt his life after overdose, and why asking for help — even when it feels humiliating — is the single habit that saved him. He opens up about growing up in chaos, battling self-hatred, surviving rock bottom, and building a life rooted not in money or status, but in love, family, and communication — the one variable research shows determines long-term happiness.
