Podcasts about habits

That quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year's can feel strange. We rest. We think. We replay the past year — sometimes with joy, sometimes regret. This message is about reflection — not guilt, not pressure — but honest growth. Because when we don't reflect, we repeat. And the cracks we ignore in our character, stress, or ego often follow us into the next season.If you want to step into the new year more grounded and intentional, this talk will guide you through simple reflection that leads to real change — not more hustle.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

This is a grounded conversation on attention control, identity, and building outcomes that compound over time.If you care about personal development, time management, and sustainable success, this episode will sharpen how you think about where your energy goes and why it matters.

Episode 2848: Julie Morgenstern challenges the all-or-nothing mindset around exercise and offers practical strategies for incorporating movement into busy lives, especially for parents. From high-intensity interval training in short bursts to mindful movement during daily chores and playtime, this approach helps you reclaim your fitness in realistic, sustainable ways. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.juliemorgenstern.com/tips-tools-blog/2020/1/10/rethink-your-exercise-routine Quotes to ponder: "Exercise still counts if you do it for less than an hour at a time." "Small increments of time can make a huge difference in your health." "A 10 minute workout at home was more realistic than going to the gym to work out every day."

This week we're diving into Week Three of our “What's Your Problem?” series — and I can't tell you how important this one is. If you've worked through your quantity issues (too much stuff) and your systems issues (no real organisation), then your next hurdle isn't about things or storage at all. It's about you. It's about habits.Once the clutter is gone and the systems are in place, the problem shifts from your stuff… to your behaviour. And that's good news, because habits are changeable with the right tools and a little intention.One of our core sayings at The Art of Decluttering is: “Don't put it down. Put it away.”It's simple. It's powerful. It cuts straight through the temptation to procrastinate — because procrastination is sneaky. It convinces you that “later” is harmless, when in reality “later” is the thing making your home feel harder than it needs to.Take the jacket example. You walk in the door. You're tired. You drop your jacket on the bed instead of hanging it up. No big deal, right? But then you walk past it three more times. Your partner dumps their jacket next to yours. Suddenly the job feels bigger and you're annoyed at yourself. And all of this drama could have been avoided if you'd taken the 10 seconds to hang it up straight away.This is where phrases like “just do it now” or “might as well” become game-changers. They short-circuit the internal debate and remove the option to procrastinate. If you're going to have to do it eventually, you might as well do it now.Sometimes, though, you'll notice that a system you created isn't working because you're not using it. That doesn't mean you've failed — it simply means you might need to refine it. If your keys always end up on the bench instead of in the bowl by the door… maybe the bench needs to be the home. The best system is the one you'll actually use.Habits aren't glamorous. They don't give you the buzz that decluttering or organising does. But they are the quiet, consistent force that keeps your home functioning smoothly. And more importantly — habits bring freedom. Freedom to enjoy your space, your people, your time, and your life.You may also like to listen to these episodes:What's Your Problem?... QuantityWhat's Your Problem?...

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros expose the real reason most people struggle with consistency, productivity, and follow-through. This conversation cuts past surface-level time management advice and into priorities, self-discipline, and long-term identity. Drawing from years of coaching and thousands of conversations, they explain why time is allocated, not found, and why high performers build their lives around non-negotiable standards. If you are focused on personal growth, habit formation, and sustainable success, this episode will challenge how you think about effort, sacrifice, and results. Stop protecting comfort and start building a future you do not have to explain.Learn more about:Join our Next Level University Monthly Masterclass, "How to Set and Achieve Your Most Important Goals in 2026."

Episode 2847: Rachel Jones offers a refreshingly practical approach to raising capable, responsible kids by integrating cleaning habits into daily family life, without rigid charts or power struggles. With patience, consistency, and a focus on teamwork over task lists, children naturally begin to take ownership of their spaces and routines. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nourishingminimalism.com/teaching-children-tidy-habits-early-on/ Quotes to ponder: "We can't just assign tons of chores to each child and be done, no, we will have to follow through with instruction, patience, and consistency." "When children grow up with the belief that 'we do what needs to be done,' it makes the transition to adulthood less overwhelming." "Teaching children to do household tasks means when they are older they won't be paralyzed with certain tasks, instead, they will be capable."

This episode is part of The Best of Habits & Hustle, a series where I revisit some of the most impactful conversations we've shared. In this one, I sit down with Dr. Mary Claire Haver to break down what's happening during perimenopause and menopause and why so many women are left confused and guessing. We get into why estrogen matters far beyond hot flashes, how muscle loss and belly fat accelerate in midlife, and why strength training becomes non-negotiable as women age.  She cuts through the fear and misinformation around hormone therapy, who it's really for, and why women deserve better conversations with their doctors.She also shares a no-BS take on testosterone for women, GLP-1 medications, and why there are no shortcuts if you want to protect muscle, metabolism, and long-term health.  Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a board-certified OB-GYN, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause, and founder of The ‘Pause Life. She's become one of the most trusted voices helping women understand what midlife is actually asking of their bodies.

This second episode originally aired in May for our premium members on Substack.

Do you think you need to completely overhaul your life to become mentally stronger in 2026? Whether you are planning to wake up at 4 a.m. or commit to a grueling routine, we're often told we need to create all new habits if we want to change our lives. But, big changes rarely stick. Fortunately, a few simple changes might help you build lasting mental strength. Today, I'm sharing three powerful, low-effort strategies that take just minutes a day but will help you build the mental muscle you need to handle whatever the new year throws your way. Some of the things I talk about are: Why most New Year's resolutions fail and the "tiny changes" alternative that actually works The biggest misconception about mental strength training (and why it doesn't require hours of your time) The 60-second strategy that will help you start your morning strong The one thing you can give up to feel refreshed every day The surprising thing that will help you build emotional strength each day How to turn these small daily actions into a cumulative effect that changes how you think, feel, and act Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

Pete the Planner on Humor, Habits and the Psychology of Money On this episode of Off the Record, host Nate Feltman sits down with Peter Dunn, better known as Pete the Planner, one of America's most trusted voices on personal finance. Dunn shares how a sixth-grade stock market contest launched his career, how he blends comedy and financial coaching to help people build better habits, and why the psychology of money matters more than math. He opens up about building Your Money Line, a fast-growing financial technology company using AI to deliver personalized advice to more than 800,000 people, and how leading a startup taught him hard-earned lessons about leadership, responsibility and giving back. A former columnist for USA Today and author of 10 books, Dunn discusses his national media presence, his roots in Indianapolis, and why financial wellness is critical in today's workplace.

Episode 1913: ESI dismantles the common excuse of "not having time" by revealing how most people can reclaim hours each day through intentional lifestyle shifts. From cutting TV and social media to waking up earlier, he outlines practical strategies that helped him build multiple side hustles, even with a demanding schedule. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://esimoney.com/ten-ways-find-time-side-hustle/ Quotes to ponder: "I don't buy that. Very few people literally 'don't have the time.' What most who say this mean is 'I don't want to make the time.'" "Just think what you could accomplish with 365 extra, focused hours in a year!" "I look up and an hour is gone. So I set limits and only allow myself to look at it twice a day for 15 minutes each."

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the common belief that self-improvement is about doing more. They examine why real personal development often requires letting go, not adding on. Through years of experience, disciplined consistency, and thousands of conversations with high performers, they explore how outdated habits, environments, and identities quietly sabotage decision-making and long-term growth.This conversation is for anyone serious about clarity, alignment, and building a life that actually moves forward instead of staying busy in place.

In this episode, Jamie Dalzell, Head of GMS Singapore, speaks with Dr. Anand Hiremath, GMS Chief Sustainability Officer and lead of SSORP, the Sustainable Ship and Offshore Recycling Program. In ship recycling, many incidents happen when routine takes over and basic checks are skipped to keep work moving. This conversation focuses on the small actions that prevent harm on the ground: the pause before lighting the torch, a gas check repeated when conditions change, a supervisor choosing not to overlap high risk jobs, and a near miss report that results in a real fix. What SSORP has delivered this year (so far) 781 safety awareness training sessions 12,036 yard workers reached 70 distinct topics delivered across India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan Training provided free for workers Topics discussed in this episode Permit to Work (PTW): planning, authorization, checks, and clear responsibility before high risk work starts Hot work and gas cutting discipline: leak checks, flashback risks, ventilation, fire watch, safe cylinder handling, and stop work authority Confined space awareness: atmospheric hazards, entry controls, communication, and changing conditions Lifting and material handling: rigging basics, exclusion zones, signals, and early warning signs before a load shifts Heat stress and fatigue: hydration routines, shaded rest, symptom recognition, and simple prevention steps Near miss reporting: reporting early, pausing the task, inspecting gear, fixing issues, and sharing learning in toolbox talks Environmental awareness and waste handling: segregation, storage discipline, spill prevention, and daily yard practices Mock drills and emergency readiness: alarms, isolation, muster points, first actions, and clear response roles Key takeaways for different roles For workers: professionalism is in the pause. Ask for checks, report near misses, stop when conditions change For supervisors and mukadams: make work predictable. Plan, brief, coordinate overlaps, and make permits meaningful For owners and management: back the system. Maintain equipment, support reporting without blame, and reinforce discipline consistently This episode is a practical look at training that supports safer work shift by shift across ship recycling yards.

Hard truth: your kids don't do what you say—they do what you do. In this episode, we unpack how parental behavior shapes children's habits, health, and inner voice. From the food on your plate to the way you talk to yourself, your daily choices become their blueprint. We dive into the ripple effect of parenting, how social media pressure warps expectations, and why personal responsibility beats finger-pointing. You'll learn how to model healthy habits, clean up self-talk so it becomes your child's confidence, and stand firm when critics chirp from the sidelines.

They serve a purpose. They serve a purpose for our brain. And that is how a habit is really created. But you have to be someone who actually believes you can be it like someone who has habits. Lesley Logan 0:15  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:53  Hi, Be It babe. Welcome back to our Habits Series. I'm super excited about this series. I hope you've been enjoying it. If you haven't listened to the first part of the habit series, you can listen to this one, but I highly recommend you start at the beginning of the series, because it gives you the tools that you can rinse and repeat for every habit you want to have. And so today's topic is like, how being it till you see it helps with habits. There's a few different ways it helps with habits. So if you are someone who believes that you can't start a new habit, you won't. I know that sounds like duh, but also and also like, how many times have you been like, I'm a procrastinator, or I just can't be consistent with anything, or I'm just, I'm not a morning person. When we have those statements, those I am statements that are in conflict of the things we want to do, for sure, you're not going to make the habit happen that you want. It just isn't going to work like that. So I definitely want you, if there's a habit that you're wanting to create, I want you to listen to the start of the series, because we go through like the different tools that you need to do, to take a habit of feeling and then bring it into fruition. I shared in one of the episodes what habit I have been working on, and since I recorded those, I'm really proud to say, like, it's become a habit that I do. It's something that I actually think about doing. So I still have to celebrate. It's my habit that, like, I can step out of the celebration part. And I'm also, if you go to the episode where, like, the part of the day that your habit goes in, I am because my schedule has been really crazy, still figuring out when the best time of day, what is the best thing that the habit comes after, and that's just because I'm experimenting. But I do believe that I am someone who can create habits that stick. It is a habit that I want, and so it's still happening daily. It's just taking a little longer to stick in a place where I don't need to remind myself to do it with the testing of the prompts and with the celebration. And so I share that with you because it these things just take time, not because it takes 60 days and then voila, you have it. That's not how it works, and not because it only takes a day, but because we have to get our brain wrapped around it, and then our whole entire day is just a series of different habits that we have, even ones we don't like. They serve a purpose. They serve a purpose for our brain. And that is how a habit is really created. But you have to be someone who actually believes you can be like someone who has habits. I've had Brad Bisjack on as a guest before, and he's someone that I coached with a couple years ago, and he has this like, be do have situation, I promise this has to do with be it till you see it. And a lot of people go with, once I have blank, then I will do blank, and I will become blank, right? So once I have money, then I will be able to start that business, and then I'll be successful, right? Other people are like, well, they do it in the a different order. So they have, I don't know, actually, I'm not really good with the anagram, but there's a different order you can do it in. It still doesn't get you what you want. So there's only one way to do it. You have to go with the B, then the do, then the have. So be it till you see it, right? So if you want to be someone who works out and does move it every day, you have to act as if you're someone who works out every day. You also have to believe I am someone who moves every day. I am someone who values movement. So the thoughts you put in helps you filter. It also will help you as you as you start to create habits that stick in that you're going to get something wrong. You're going to get something wrong, you're gonna get something, you're gonna say I'm who wants to go to the gym every day, and then you might, I hate this gym. Actually, I prefer Jiu Jitsu. Actually, I'm someone who moves every day. I'm gonna go to a dance class. Actually, I hate dance instead, I'm gonna go and do some Tai Chi. Like, in the process of becoming having the habits you want, you have to start with the person you want to be, and then ask yourself, what would that person do if I'm if someone, if I'm already someone who values movement, what would I do in the morning or in the afternoon or at night? And then break it down to something smaller, and then be curious about it and celebrate what you did do. So the be it till you see it mindset doesn't just apply to a business goal, or a money goal, or relationship goal or health goal. It actually applies to the life, the entire compass of the capacity of the life that you want to have. And so it's super important how you talk to yourself. Because if you are saying, I suck at this, I'm terrible at this, I'm someone who can't get up in the morning. You're not going to just you're not going to start getting up in the morning and having a habit that sticks. We have to start that mindset. Lesley Logan 5:25  So what I would suggest that you do, I think it's super important, is just kind of reflect about, like, who you want to be, right? Who is the be? What are we being it until we see? So take some time and just reflect on like, okay, it's the future. We snapped our fingers. Everything worked out. Who are you? You know, what time do you get up in the morning? How do you spend your time? What does it smell like where you are? What does it feel like? What clothes do you wear? You know, do you cook for yourself? Do the meals get delivered? Keep going, right? So like you're, you're the person you want to be, is how we filter, what are the actual habits that you are going to have? So this episode could have come honestly as number one before you filled out the bubble of like, okay, I want to have this. And here's all the different ideas. But this is a really good mindset talk to like, think about. When I was in Cambodia a couple weeks ago, leading people through the workshop, the first thing we have to do is like, figure out, like, okay, so before I teach you habits that stick, and before I teach you how to delegate things off your plate, and before I teach you how to do a dream schedule, we have to understand, like, who it is that we want to be. Because if we know who that person is, you know, then we can actually create the schedule that involves that person. But if we don't go through that process, then we actually create a dream schedule and habits based on the person we are right now. And there's probably there's nothing wrong with who you are right now. You're an amazing person. You're worthy already. But if you are listening to this, it's because you want a little bit more. You want something more in an area of your life, there's something that you're wanting to be till you see. And so I would, I really encourage you to take out a piece of paper, journal, notebook, you know, transcript tool, and to start to go through a dream day of the like you were already it. Everything has happened. You've had the training or the certificate, or the education or the windfall that you need. And so, who are you? What do you value? Who do believe about yourself? What are the I am statements that you say? Okay, when you have that, then it's like, okay, so, what does it what habits does this person have? So if you want to have a like a beautiful Pilates studio, right? And your dream schedule at that studio is that you will actually come in, read everyone who works with you, say hi to the clients that first class. You know, there's a scent that you make sure is on in the studio. And then you go to your office and you do what? And then you maybe you take class then, and then it's lunchtime, and then you have meetings, who you're meeting with, all these different things. What are the habits that that person has before they get to the studio, or the habits that person has when they're at work? What are the what are the habits that person has when they get home? So see yourself in the future already having all the things. So who is that person? And then what we can do is rewind it or unravel it to go we get to where we are today, and then go back to episode one, and then two and three and four, and actually start to process one thing at a time, one habit at a time. Lesley Logan 8:39  And the other way that the be it till you see it mindset works is that you actually get to just try one at a time. Because if we try to be it till we see it as an all or nothing. We talked about this in last episode, we try to do seven habits at the same time. It becomes really difficult to understand what's working and really see how we like it. And so when you have the be it till you see it mindset, as you try out these different habits, it makes it so much easier to make sure that the habits are ones that are going to give you the life that you want to live. And then you get to act as if you already have that habit, allowing to be easier for you to celebrate, easy to be curious, easier for the habit to actually stick, because your belief is you already are this person with these habits and not the the other opposite, which is like I am someone who procrastinates. Does that make sense? So keeping this episode short, because what I would prefer you do is take some time to think about the person that you want to be on the other side of all of this, and then really think about all the habits that that person has, the you that at that time that has and not shaming or blaming yourself. I should be further by now. I should be further ahead. I should already have these done. I've tried this habit before, starting all over again. No, that, that shit talk doesn't even work. That doesn't it's not going to help anybody. In fact, what it does it just, it actually just keeps you safe. I know. Do you believe that, like, say, there's safety in living the life that you're trying to get out of? Yeah? Because your brain is like, well, this is safe. This is the devil that I know, right? So I would love for you to take some time today just to really think about who you're trying to become. Who is the be it till we see it? What are those habits that you want to have in place? And then go back to the beginning of this process, write down one of the habits in the center, all the ideas that go around it. Then do the grid of want to do, don't want to do, easy to do, hard to do. Then take the couple that are in that one quadrant, because it's only goimng to be a couple, and then see where you can plug it into your day, and then have it as a prompt. And then use the be it till you see it mindset, until the habit sticks. I am someone who can do this thing. I am someone who have this thing comes easy for and then I am going to I'm someone who wants to make coffee for myself and my partner in the morning. So what would that person do to make coffee in the morning? Who do you have to be? And it really does make it so much easier to make any habit, because there's a belief in yourself that it's possible. I tell the people that I coach all the time like I cannot believe in your dreams more than you do all the time. I can I can be that person who like helps you realize that there's like you should be believing yourself. And I can do that. I can absolutely, in the beginning, when we meet, absolutely I can see the potential and the amazingness. But if you don't believe in you, you don't get very far, right? We don't get very far. I will also just add to this episode how I use habit that stick to make sure that I run this business well. And it's not perfect. I learn every single day, I'm constantly like, going, okay, who do I want to be it until I see you in this business, right? Like, okay, you get you evolve, and you get better. And in fact, you actually become the person you're trying to see. And then it's like, okay, now the business has risen to this level. We have this many people on the team, so the habits that are in my life that allow me to show up every single day at work exist in the morning. My morning routine is humongous for me. The morning walk that I have to do make sure my dog feels super, super loved, but also that I get the blood flowing. My morning plunge happens before that. My cold plunge happens before that. I read these amazing daily books while I'm in the cold plunge so that I can start the day with these words of wisdom and things to think about and remind myself of how truly loving and wonderful I can be in this world. Right? I'll need those pep talks. Those are habits. What I read, the cold plunge, the medicine that I take in the morning, the walk, the shake plate, the Pilates, the red light, when I have breakfast, fueling myself. All those habits are habits that are helping me be it till I see it, and as I continue to give more clarity around who I'm trying to become. As I grow older, as my business grows, those habits get reviewed and reflected. Some of them will evolve out or evolve to a different time. So especially for the women listening to this podcast, like some of the habits that you have may have worked for you a while ago, but they don't work anymore. They're not part of who you're becoming, and so you'll have to listen to listen the episode on how to unravel those habits, right? How do we get rid of that prompt? What are we replacing it with? And reminding ourselves that, like you didn't get anything wrong with that habit, it just no longer serves you. It's no longer part of who you're becoming, and the more we can become the person that doesn't shame and blame, but instead celebrates and inquires and gets curious, easier it is for us to add new habits that help us be it till we see it. I have habits at night that help me sleep well so I can go up in the morning to start those habits. My habits at night have also evolved. How soon, how early I have to go to bed has changed. What I can listen to before bed has changed. Right? What? What? What is my skincare routine has changed. Because as I be it till I see it, the person I'm becoming, she gets she has changed. She's gotten older. She's got different goals. She's got different dreams. And so I'm giving that to you because I think it's really important that you don't put so much pressure on yourself that what you write down is written in stone, and then you have to do it. And then once you do it, you've done it. Check. No, this whole program is created so you can re listen to it and reuse it as you evolve, as the clarity around who you're becoming, who you're being, till you see becomes clearer. So thank you so much. I'd love to hear what you're trying to how you're using habits to be, till you see it. What habits came up for you? What habits Did you realize? Like, oh, when I was listening the first couple episodes, I thought I wanted to work on this habit of drinking more water. But now that I'm thinking about how the person I want to be, what are the habits that I want to have so I can become her, because all the things we do are the ones that help us become the person we want to be, or they hold us down where we are. It's the truth. We have two more episodes in this series. They are really there for you as part of like how to change and update your habits for when you're traveling, or for specifically movement and health. So you have all the tools you need to create any habit that you want. If you are worried about habits while you're traveling or want to focus more on healthy I hate the word, like healthy habits, but habits that help with the health that you're trying to live for. Those will be the next two bonus episodes in this series. But for now, I think you've got what you need to be till you see it and create habits that stick. And I would love to hear how this series works for you. So make sure you send it in if you have any questions about it you want to dive in deeper. Send it in to the beitpod.com/questions. You can also send the wins of you celebrating the habits that you're creating to that same place, beitpod.com/questions and I will shout you out on our FYF episodes.

The holiday season often brings a lot of joy, but it also comes with its share of stress and obligations. In this episode, I explore a simple but powerful shift that can change how you experience the holidays: the difference between saying "I have to" and recognizing "I choose to."   The habit of saying "I have to" can quickly take over during the holidays. You'll discover how recognizing your ability to choose is liberating, and how this simple shift can reduce stress and make holiday interactions lighter and more manageable. I'll guide you through practical examples of how to apply this shift to everything from family time and food choices to setting boundaries and saying no.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/203   Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

F*ck Fitting In is a deep dive into one of the most invisible forces shaping our lives: approval-seeking. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick exposes how most of us unknowingly construct an internal A.I., an Artificial Identity, a learned algorithm designed to gain acceptance, avoid conflict, and perform appropriately. Over time, this identity edits our words, tones, decisions, and even our sense of self, until we forget where the real us ends and the performance begins. Through sharp insight, cultural critique, and the lens of the Interface Response System (IRS), this conversation reveals how approval becomes a silent operating system that keeps us rehearsing the future, regretting the past, and missing the only place authenticity exists: the present moment. You'll learn how awareness cracks the code, how curiosity (“Hmmm?”) creates cognitive distance, and how authenticity returns when the mask powers down. This episode is a call to stop auditioning for life, stop being manipulable by algorithms, social or internal, and reclaim the courage to live from truth instead of approval. Because when you stop fitting in, you don't lose yourself… You finally get yourself back. Make Sense?

Are you making decisions based on your standards, or are you unconsciously following the crowd?In this episode, Kevin and Alan examine how trend-driven behavior quietly undermines self-improvement, personal development, and long-term consistency. Using real coaching experience and patterns observed across thousands of conversations, they explain why decision-making rooted in external validation weakens self-trust and identity.

Forget motivation — it's not your problem.In this episode, Amy Lang reveals the surprising missing ingredient behind habit success: trust. If your brain feels stuck, overwhelmed, or skeptical about new habits, this one's for you. Amy unpacks how rebuilding self-trust "one marble at a time" can create unstoppable momentum — even when life is busy and chaotic.

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with Dr. Matt Townsend for a powerful, reflective conversation on emotional resilience, leadership maturity, and what high performers must leave behind to move forward. As the pace of business accelerates and uncertainty continues to rise, John and Matt unpack why most leaders feel overwhelmed—not because they lack ability, but because they're carrying outdated thoughts, unhealthy emotions, and destructive habits into the future. This episode is a deep dive into growth through subtraction: letting go of what no longer serves you so you can step into clarity, confidence, and CEO-level leadership. If you're heading into a new season of business or life and feeling stuck, this conversation will help you reset, refocus, and lead with intention.

When leaders release unhelpful thoughts, unresolved emotions, and unhealthy habits, they reclaim energy, clarity, and agency. True growth doesn't come from forcing change, but from awareness, values-driven action, and choosing to lead from your highest self—not your survival instincts. Happy Holidays everyone.

As our team takes time off for the holidays, we are sharing the conversations Sarah and Beth had this year about Habits of the Heart. This first episode originally aired in February for our premium members on Substack. Whether you’re also taking a well-deserved break, spending time with family, or just looking for something meaningful to listen to, we hope you’ll join us to revisit (or enjoy for the first time!) this thoughtful exploration from Sarah and Beth of this powerful, prescient book. In this episode, they discuss the introductory, and imagine where the authors would push them, and investigate what the meaning of “the pursuit of happiness” was to the founders in comparison to how we define it now.

If your daughter is training hard but still feeling exhausted, injured, or mentally drained, it's probably not an effort problem.

Send us a textYou can grow revenue, scale teams, and carry real responsibility, and still feel like the business isn't paying you. In this episode, I sit down with Mauro Campagnaro, Financial Advisor at Campagnaro Wealth Advisory in Calgary, Alberta, to address why getting paid as an owner often breaks down as companies scale.Mauro brings over 20 years as a business owner and financial strategist. We talk about what happens after growth, when retained earnings pile up, tax exposure increases, and exit planning feels distant but consequential. This conversation is about shifting from hustle to structure: how owners think about compensation, corporate structure, tax strategy, and long-term continuity before pressure forces reactive decisions.If you're scaling past seven figures and want clarity on owner pay, wealth preservation, and building a system that rewards the risk you carry, this episode gives you a strategic lens and practical next steps, without noise or theory.

EP 96: In this episode of Strength To Build, I share my approach to building sustainable fitness habits—and why I don't believe in extreme challenges like 75 Hard.Instead of changing everything at once, I focus on making small, manageable changes that eventually become automatic. We talk about why I like to start with movement first, how increasing steps and workout consistency can naturally improve nutrition, and why repeating workouts (instead of doing random ones) is key for real progress.I also dive into the mindset side of health, especially around stress eating and using tools like breathing and awareness to change habits without restriction. Using a real-life example, I walk through how to simplify an overloaded routine and create a more intentional, balanced plan that actually supports long-term goals.This episode is all about doing less—but doing it better—and building habits that last.------------------------------Apply for Advanced Training and Nutrition with Chelsey & Dr Emily Dow HEREStart your 7 day FREE trial of my new app HERE!Want to work one on one with Chelsey?Set up a one on one consultation call here to see if personalized online training is right for you.Join a semi-private class in LA here.Email info@chelseyrosehealth.com to inquire about one on one in person training.Follow Chelsey on Instagram:@Chelseyrosehealth@StrengthtobuildFollow Chelsey on TikTok Here."Submit a question to the show"

Summary In this episode, Doug Bennett, the Goals Guy, engages in a deep conversation with Julie Hogbin about the intricacies of goal setting, personal transformation, and the importance of mindset. They explore how past experiences shape our beliefs, the role of habits in achieving goals, and the impact of social media on personal branding. Julie shares her journey of weight loss and giving up alcohol, emphasizing the significance of knowing what you want and working towards it. The discussion also touches on the value of community, networking, and the power of writing and publishing books as a means to influence others. The episode concludes with key takeaways on perseverance and the importance of setting clear goals. Takeaways Goal setting begins with understanding where you are now. Mindset is crucial for achieving future goals. Self-limiting beliefs from the past can hinder progress. Habits drive 95% of our behaviours; changing them requires conscious effort. Social media presence is essential for personal branding. Navigating controversial topics can impact personal relationships. Personal transformation often involves overcoming societal expectations. Community and networking play a vital role in achieving goals. Writing and publishing can enhance credibility and influence. Perseverance is key; it's about not giving up on your goals.

I sat down with author, speaker, and lawyer Justin Whitmel Earley and walked away reminded that discipline isn't just about doing more—it's about becoming more grounded. He shared how relentless ambition and life as a driven attorney led to panic attacks and burnout, and how he rebuilt through faith and daily spiritual rhythms. The smallest, most intentional habits shape my mind, my peace, and my purpose. Faith isn't just what I claim—it's what I practice every day.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction02:25 The Impact of Books and Personal Growth07:42 The Journey to Law and Mental Collapse12:55 Spiritual Habits and Life Changes23:40 Identity and Vocation34:56 The Gospel's Core Message38:30 Identifying and Overcoming False Idols43:02 The Role of the Body in Spirituality48:01 The Call to Serve Others55:20 The Journey of Intentional Fatherhood01:06:55 The Dual Nature of Strength01:13:04 The Role of Sabbath in Modern Life01:31:26 The Cornerstone of a Good Life01:36:47 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsJUSTIN WHITMEL EARLEYWebsite: https://www.justinwhitmelearley.com/Socials: @justinwhitmelearleyBooks: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Justin-Whitmel-Earley/author/B07P62QFW5?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=69ad8248-6298-4780-a33b-c900a2adfa62ORDER MY BOOK HERE:https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFEhttps://bpn.team/memberIG: instagram.com/nickbarefitness/YT: youtube.com/@nickbarefitness

Before we move into a new year and start working on our 2026 goals, it's time to let go of the people and things that don't align with us anymore. By releasing what no longer serves us, we can make room for everything we want to call in for the new year. What I'm saying goodbye to in 2025

Past Projection vs. Memory Rescripting Why Can't I Lose Weight? Do Demons Cause Negative Thoughts! Featuring Our Beloved Dr. Matthew May The answers to today's questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth discussion of each question. Here are the questions for today's podcast. Rhonda asks: What's the difference between Past Projection and Memory Rescripting? Slash asks: How do I overcome my resistance to losing weight? Constantina asks: Do negative thoughts come from demons?   And here are the answers! Rhonda asks: What's the difference between Past Projection and Memory Rescripting? I would love to learn more about Memory Rescripting, since I really don't see much difference between that and Past Projection, but maybe I am just dense.  So if we could talk about that on the next Ask David, that would be great. Thanks, Rhonda David's reply I use the term, Time Travel, and you can project yourself into the future or the past, hence Future or Past Projection. If you want a patient to travel into the past, there are a great many things you can do that might be helpful. You can do "Forgiveness Training," developed by Jaimie Galindo. Essentially, the patient talks to someone, like a parent, who abused them in some way, telling the parent how hurt they felt, and how they needed the parent's love. Or you can do Cognitive Flooding, simply "watching" some traumatic event to experience the anxiety until it wears out and loses its power to upset you. And there are many more techniques you can use to explore past experiences with a patient. Memory Rescripting is like Cognitive Flooding—you have the patient close their eyes and vividly re-experience something traumatic, like the babysitter abusing them. Then, at the height of the feelings of anxiety, anger, and helplessness, you can tell the patient that they can be like a movie director, and change the scene so there is a different outcome. For example, the patient may want to enter the scene as a powerful adult and punish the perpetrator. This is not some standard procedure, as every patient will be completely different. Often, they will want to do something violent to the perpetrator, so this procedure can be anxiety provoking for the therapist! I have only used it on a couple occasions, but had good results with it both times. I am not a strong believer that patients "must" go into the past to "work through" a prior traumatic experience, so I don't have that much need for it. But it is a good technique to have in your toolbox.   Slash asks: How do I overcome my resistance to losing weight? Dear Dr. Burns, I recently listened to your podcast episode on Habits and Addictions, and it really resonated with me. I've been going to the gym regularly, but I'm struggling with my eating habits — I tend to eat too much, and my weight hasn't been decreasing. What I've realized is that I may be experiencing what you describe as outcome resistance. A part of me feels that if I lose weight and become thin and attractive, I might still not take action in areas like dating — so then I ask myself, "Why should I even bother with weight reduction?" I'm finding it difficult to overcome this resistance, even though I want to be healthier. Could you please share some guidance or strategies to work through this kind of resistance? Thank you for all the wonderful work you do. Your podcasts have been truly insightful and helpful. Warm regards, Slash   David's reply Thanks, and we will discuss this important question on the podcast. However, in the meantime, if you can search for Triple Paradox you may find your answer. Also, you can download two free unpublished changers on habits and addictions from any page on feeling good.com, and use the Decision -Making, Tool. That, too, will give you the answer! Warmly, david   Constantina asks: Do negative thoughts come from demons? David and Rhonda, Hello. I am doing some research into "spiritual" causes of depression. I realize that you are both scientists (and BRILLIANT ones), but if you have any sources I could review, I would appreciate suggestions.  It might also make for an interesting Halloween season podcast. Do "demons" cause automatic negative thoughts. And if not demons, what actually causes them?  Please don't dismiss this as "crazy". I am a very religious person and at times I have sincerely asked the question...are depression and anxiety ...at least in part, spiritual maladies.  I have found tremendous help in Feeling Good, but also in prayer and religious practices. I want to research what has been done in terms of crossover studies/experiments (if any).  Marianne   David's reply Thank you. The spiritual underpinnings are not so much something to be researched, but can add a deeper dimension of meaning and understanding to the healing. Current thinking is that Self-Defeating Beliefs, not demons, trigger the negative thoughts. I have written about all of this extensively, so I won't try to say it all again here. But we can exchange some ideas on the podcast. Thanks! d Thanks for listening today! Matt, Rhonda, and David

This is a fan fav episode. You are living through exciting and strange times. There are so many technological advances with AI, space travel, NFTs, and a rapidly changing culture with social media, it's near impossible to just turn ‘off'. Let's admit it, FOMO is real and it keeps a lot of people connected when they're not even sure why they're connected. When was the last time you unplugged and took on a challenge you weren't sure you'd complete? How long has it been since you've sat with yourself in total silence or allowed yourself to just be bored out of your mind? Author and journalist, Michael Easter, joins me today to discuss his journey and share the lessons and insights he's gained from spending a month in the Arctic surviving. Hunting his own food, carrying heavy loads, and sitting with absolute boredom are just part of his story. As you listen to his story, it is my hope you will consider ways you step out of your comfort zone. There is something very freeing about being able to shake things up and break your routines and habits to improve the quality of your life in unconventional ways.

How do you rebuild your life when everyone thinks they already know your story? How do you stay sharp and influential when every move you make is judged and dissected? In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Jordan Belfort, the real-life inspiration behind Martin Scorsese's acclaimed film The Wolf of Wall Street based on his bestselling autobiography. We get into the mindset behind high-stakes decisions, the psychology of influence, and how he built a system that turns underdogs into top performers. Jordan talks about rebuilding credibility, the habits that keep him steady now, and what extreme pressure taught him about discipline. He breaks down what persuasive leaders actually do differently and why charisma alone never gets you there. If you want a sharper understanding of communication, conviction, and reinvention, this one will land. Jordan Belfort is an entrepreneur, bestselling author, global sales trainer, and creator of the Straight Line System. After rising fast, falling hard, and rebuilding his life from the ground up, he has become one of the most recognizable thinkers in sales psychology, persuasion, and personal reinvention today. What We Discuss: (00:28) Why influence is something you can actually learn (05:12) The mindset Jordan used to handle high-stakes decisions (13:40) How the Straight Line System brings clarity to any conversation (18:55) What rebuilding credibility really looked like after his public fall (26:14) The habits that keep him steady and focused now (34:02) What extreme pressure taught him about discipline (41:33) The mechanics of persuasion and why charisma alone never works (55:10) What separates average closers from top performers (01:12:20) How he coaches leaders to communicate under pressure (01:28:46) The psychology behind reinvention and starting fresh Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE40 for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.Magic Mind: Head over to www.magicmind.com/jen and use code Jen at checkout.Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Manna Vitality: Visit mannavitality.com and use code JENNIFER20 for 20% off your order Prolon: Get 30% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!
