On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya explores how high performers can stop guessing about their health and start listening with precision. Guest Tata Rarin—the “world's only health detective”—blends engineering logic, energy work, and bioenergetic testing to translate body signals into clear action. We cover practical self-awareness tools (Vipassana basics, body scanning, breath focus, single-word anchors like “knowing”), how to use data without losing intuition, and why self-awareness is a performance tool—not a soft skill. If you're chasing goals and flirting with burnout, this episode shows how to turn awareness into a measurable advantage.   About the Guest : Tata Rarin helps founders and high achievers decode health and performance by combining bioenergetic testing, digital muscle testing, and mindfulness practices (including 12+ years of Vipassana). Her approach turns subtle body cues into decisions that improve sleep, stress, focus, and strategic execution.   Key Takeaways: Self-awareness is a performance lever—it improves choices, negotiations, and recovery, reducing avoidable mistakes. Start simple: choose a single anchor word (e.g., “knowing”), repeat for 10–20 seconds to re-center during busy days. Use breath awareness (anapanasati) and brief body scans to detect early signs of imbalance before they escalate. For beginners, body sensations are easier to observe than thoughts; build the skill daily in short reps. Pair metrics (sleep, HRV, activity trackers) with felt experience; numbers reveal blind spots high achievers often miss. Morning routine tip: listen to a short, positive audio before messages or meetings to set focus and reduce reactivity. Continuous observation creates choice under pressure—notice bias, adjust state, then act. Awareness practices support business outcomes: clearer thinking, fewer errors, better energy allocation. Reframe “listening” from passive to strategic—it's how you prevent burnout and sustain output. Build the habit: small, daily reps (>21 days) make self-awareness automatic in high-stakes moments.   Medical Disclaimer:This conversation is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

The Breakdown Moment: How High Achievers Miss the Warning Signs  Do you know the signs that indicate you're near a breakdown moment? For high achievers, it's rarely obvious. We don't see it coming because we're so used to pushing through.  We normalize the stress, telling ourselves it's just this project or it's just a busy season. Or we believe that the next promotion, the next job, or the next vacation will finally make it better. But here's the warning most people miss: If you're in misalignment or you're making changes that don't solve the root cause, it's not a matter of if you'll hit the breakdown moment, it's a matter of when.  The problem for so many high-achieving leaders is the quiet normalization of exhaustion & the belief that pushing through will eventually pay off. But when you're in chronic misalignment, burnout at work isn't temporary — it's inevitable. In this episode, I share my own story of hitting breakdown three times in my career. Then my coach asked me the question that changed everything: "Blake, why are you willing to sacrifice your health and your life for a company that isn't willing to give you what you need?" That question changed everything. Logging back on to work at night to "catch up", feeling the "Sunday Scaries", asking for help but not receiving it and pushing through anyway, or waking up more drained than restored, these are all high achiever burnout symptoms signaling you're on the path to your own breakdown moment. If you're asking "How do I know if I'm headed for burnout?", this episode will give you the tools to catch the warning signs before something breaks.  Episode Highlights The 3-Question Burnout Risk Assessment  [01:15] - How to know if you're at serious risk of a breakdown moment  [01:45] - Signs of burnout most high achievers miss  [02:30] - Scores that are blazing red warning signs   My Breakdown Story [03:00] - Six months into my "dream job" & more miserable than ever  [04:15] - Crying in bathroom stalls & working till midnight  [05:30] - The Sunday Scaries & feeling trapped in an unsustainable cycle   The Question That Changed Everything  [06:45] - How my coach shifted my perspective  [07:30] - Recognizing 17+ years of sacrificing my life for my career  [08:15] - Why so many leaders reach this same breaking point   Why Burnout Cycles Get Worse Over Time  [10:00] - The gradual buildup of misalignment  [10:45] - Going through multiple burnouts [11:15] - Executive burnout signs that show you're in chronic misalignment   Powerful Quotes "The real question is, why are you willing to sacrifice your health and your life for a company that isn't willing to give you what you need?" —Blake's coach "If you're in misalignment or you're making changes that don't solve the root cause, it's not a matter of if you'll hit the breakdown moment, it's a matter of when." —Blake Schofield "The longer we stay in misalignment, it's like filling a glass higher and higher and higher with water until it spills over. We have to start reducing the water in that glass so that there's space to be able to start to create more positive momentum forward." —Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

What if the hardest part of retirement isn't money, markets, or even health but your identity?  In this episode of Retirement Planning Simplified, Joe Curry talks with Elizabeth Zelinka Parsons, retirement transition expert and author of Encore: A High Achiever's Guide to Thriving in Retirement. Elizabeth shares her own story of leaving a demanding law career, struggling with a loss of purpose, and rebuilding her identity in a way that now helps others do the same.

When we spend our lives hiding the parts of ourselves we fear others will reject, we unintentionally reject ourselves first. In this episode, I explore how the stories you've tried to bury — the ones you're convinced make you unworthy — can actually become the most powerful catalysts for your freedom, fulfillment, and authentic self-expression. I share my own journey of carrying shame through my affair, abusive marriage, and divorce, and how living in secrecy only deepened my disconnection from myself. I want you to know: the very pieces you've worked so hard to conceal might be the keys to your wholeness and to leading, loving, and living with your full voice.   What we explore: Why shame feeds on secrecy and how to stop letting it silence you. The hidden cost of performing instead of living authentically. How to reframe shame as a source of empathy, resilience, and insight. Three steps to transform your story from a source of fear to a source of strength. The magnetic power of vulnerability and the liberation of speaking your truth.   If you've been considering joining this year's cohort of Levin Life Coach Academy, the doors are open until midnight tonight. This is your chance to say yes to yourself and the life that's been calling you from beneath the weight of shame.

What if your mind needed feng shui as much as your home? In this direct conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Patrick Francey—entrepreneur, coach, and host of The Everyday Millionaire—breaks down Mind Shui, a practical framework for clearing mental clutter, collapsing hidden beliefs (“not enough,” “not worthy”), and aligning values so execution becomes inevitable. We dig into why clarity = velocity, how misaligned values stall income and impact, and why inner work isn't fluff—it's the operating system for results, relationships, and resilience. If you've got strategy but still feel stuck, this episode gives you a clean, repeatable way to create flow in your thinking, your business, and your life. Guest links are below.   About the guest  : Patrick Francey is a leading Canadian voice in investing and entrepreneurship, longtime CEO of the Real Estate Investment Network, and host of The Everyday Millionaire. He and his wife, Stephanie (an Olympic-class mental performance coach), co-created Mind Shui to help leaders dismantle mental clutter and act with clarity.   Key takeaways : Mind Shui ≠ mindset clichés: It's a structured way to remove cognitive “furniture” blocking flow—old stories, assumptions, and automatic reactions that slow execution. Clarity drives speed: “Clarity = velocity.” When thinking is decluttered, prioritization and action accelerate without extra willpower or hacks. Collapse hidden beliefs: Two common blockers—“I'm not enough” and “I'm not worthy”—surface across all levels, from new founders to multimillionaires. Naming → examining → releasing. Values must align with goals: If money isn't a true value, you'll unconsciously avoid building it—even while claiming you want financial growth. Align money to family, health, and contribution. Live your values, not inherited ones: Many chase degrees/careers scripted by others. Integrity is keeping promises to yourself; misalignment breeds friction and fatigue. Inner work isn't a distraction: It improves confidence, communication, and relationships—outcomes that compound business results rather than compete with them. Normalize “what's next” after wins: Prepare for the “other side of the medal.” Goals are milestones; identity and purpose sustain momentum. Language reveals belief systems: Your words expose your BS (belief systems). Curiosity plus coaching helps you spot and clear them faster.   Connect with the guest   Website & newsletter: https://theeverydaymillionaire.ca/ Podcast: The Everyday Millionaire Mind Shui resources: via TEDM.ca   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

But what if the very trait that built your career is now sabotaging your success?For the next few episodes, I will be talking with you about taking a deeper dive in understanding burnout from a perspective I personally don't hear enough of: the psychosocial drivers of burnout – what we as individuals bring to it, how social conditioning perpetuates it, and how organizational culture impacts it – and what we can do about it. In this episode, we're talking about the yes addiction - why saying no feels impossible for high achievers, and what it's actually costing you. ---The Anti-Burnout Leadership Lab details can be found at https://gotowerscope.com/2025fellowshipRegister at https://luma.com/owie0t8gYouTube video of this episode: https://youtu.be/lAuue-FNf-c

What if the voice in your head is the real reason you walked out of that board meeting feeling like a fraud, even after delivering exceptional results?

You'll discover why the same analytical thinking that made you successful is now sabotaging your executive presence, and learn the precise language shifts that transform how you show up in high-stakes professional situations. This isn't about becoming more social or learning small talk.

“It'll Be Better When” Loop: The Hidden Cycle Draining High Achievers Have you ever tried to tell yourself, "as soon as this is over, things will calm down"? Maybe it's a big project at work, a hectic transition with your organization, or something pressing in your family life. That's what's called the "it'll be better when" burnout loop. And while it sounds harmless, this pattern is quietly fueling chronic burnout for so many high achievers. The truth? It's not the big moments creating stress that are burning you out. It's the way your daily life is structured.  If your everyday life already has you running on fumes, then it's time to recognize that your burnout is the product of daily working conditions that don't leave any room for you to recover.  In this episode, you'll learn why traditional productivity hacks aren't enough, and why real change only happens when you address the deeper patterns and beliefs driving the career burnout cycle. You'll learn small shifts to daily routines that can prevent burnout from occurring in the first place. Most importantly, you'll learn how to create lasting transformation by uncovering and resolving the root causes that have been keeping you stuck in this loop.  Episode Highlights Signs of Burnout for High Achievers  [01:45] - Why it doesn't look like a full collapse  [02:30] - Chronic mild fatigue, foggy thinking & disconnection from joy  [03:15] - Your nervous system sending sustainability signals   The "Better When" Loop Pattern & How to Break the Burnout Cycle  [04:20] - How the loop works  [05:10] - Why productivity feels so good  [06:00] - Your brain and body are wired for cycles, not constant output   Daily Habits That Prevent Burnout: 3 Practical Steps  [06:45] - Track your energy with the color-coding system  [07:30] - Build in micro recovery  [08:00] - Redefining success beyond just output   The Deeper Root Causes  [08:30] - Hidden beliefs about proving worth through productivity  [08:50] - Why tactics and willpower can't override your subconscious mind   Powerful Quotes "Burnout is systemic and chronic.

Ever fantasized about quitting everything and disappearing for a month? That urge to escape might be more than burnout.

In this conversation, Mardi Winder-Adams welcomes Kate Kripke, a licensed clinical social worker and PMH-C, to talk about what it's really like for high-achieving moms who find themselves facing divorce while trying to keep everything else on track. Kate speaks from both professional expertise and personal experience, sharing how her own upbringing, her parents' divorce, and her struggles with anxiety and post-partum challenges shaped her commitment to supporting mothers and families navigating big transitions.Kate sheds light on the silent pressure so many women feel to perform as the best mom, partner, employee, and more. She points out how this constant push can make it hard for women to slow down, check in with their own feelings, and actually allow space for emotion, particularly during a divorce. Rather than focusing solely on “doing,” Kate encourages moms to pay attention to “how” they're experiencing emotions, something she's learned makes all the difference in both adult and child mental health.Mardi and Kate talk about how moms often fear their children's difficult emotions during divorce, wanting to protect them from sadness or anger. Kate reassures listeners that it's not only normal for kids to feel upset, but that moving through those feelings is vital. She emphasizes that being steady and supportive, even if you don't have all the answers, helps kids build resilience and feel secure through change. She also challenges the idea of labeling a marriage as “failed,” highlighting that sometimes relationships simply run their course, and it doesn't need to be seen as a disaster.Throughout the episode, Kate shares practical thoughts on how parents can create small moments of connection and security, even when families are splitting time between homes. She reminds listeners that kids don't need perfection, but rather a steady presence who's willing to listen and be real. To support moms further, Kate offers her “Calm Mama Reset,” a 21-day guide full of realistic, bite-sized strategies for anyone looking to regain some calm and steadiness during stressful times. About the Guest:Kate Kripke, LCSW, PMH-C, helps high-achieving women break free from emotional overwhelm, guilt, and burnout in motherhood. As a maternal mental health expert and transformative coach, she guides mothers in shifting old patterns, regulating their emotions, and reconnecting with their intuition—so they can feel calm, confident, and in control while balancing both career and motherhood. Kate believes that thriving as a mother doesn't mean sacrificing personal success, and she equips women with the tools to build deep, lasting connections with their children while continuing to pursue their passions.For Kate's gift: https://itlist.co/i/3453/the-calm-mama-reset-21-day-interactive-wellness-challengeTo connect with Kate: Website: https://www.katekripke.com/ IG @katekripke, https://www.instagram.com/katekripke/ About the Host: Mardi Winder-Adams is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

We all have them—the nagging, unfinished tasks that have been sitting on our list for months, sometimes years. They weigh us down, drain our energy, and quietly whisper that we're falling behind. For me, it was finally starting Invisalign after years of thinking, “I should do something about my teeth.” It's a year-long commitment, but the simple act of beginning has already lifted a huge mental load. In this episode of Tales from The Lane, I challenge you to choose your “one thing” and commit to tackling it this year. We'll explore why unfinished tasks drain our focus (hello, Zeigarnik Effect), how finally starting creates momentum, and why clearing that lingering to-do is often more powerful than adding something new to your plate. If you've been carrying around something you keep saying you'll do “someday,” this is your sign to make someday today.
