In this eye-opening MTNTOUGH Podcast episode, host Dustin Defenderfer sits down with world-renowned high-performance psychologist Dr. Michael Gervais—performance coach to Olympic athletes, Super Bowl champions (Seattle Seahawks), elite military units, and host of Finding Mastery podcast. Dr. Gervais dives deep into why fear of people's opinions (FOPO) is the #1 constrictor of potential for men today, blocking generational impact, chain-breaking purpose, and world-changing pursuits. Drawing from The First Rule of Mastery and real-time Olympic examples (Mikaela Shiffrin's gold-medal mindset shift), he unpacks training the mind to master thoughts/emotions, escape performance traps, build post-traumatic growth, and thrive under pressure—while addressing rising male numbness, complacency, anxiety, depression, and the critical need for community, present-moment focus, meditation, and fundamental commitment to being your best.

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.comMost women have lived as the side dish – supporting everyone else while putting themselves last. When I shared that line with my wife, she didn't hesitate: “That's me.” In this episode of 97% Effective, I speak with Deborah Grayson Riegel — executive coach, leadership communications expert, and co‑creator of TheMeMenu, a new personal growth platform designed for women over 50 who are ready to reclaim agency, imagination, and momentum in their lives. Deb shares how she teamed up with celebrity chef Carla Hall to build something that blends coaching, creativity, and AI — all through the metaphor of cooking and their Six Flavor framework. We discuss what's different for women 50+, how AI can democratize coaching (and where humans still matter most), and what partners can actually do — practically — to support the women they love. I also share what surprised me most in this conversation — including what I learned after asking my own wife what actually helps (hint: “How can I help?” isn't always it). By the end of this episode, you'll see cooking as a powerful lens for work and life. While The ME Menu is designed for women over 50, the key message — navigating obligation and agency — applies to anyone ready to write their next chapter.SHOW NOTESTheMeMenu storyWhy so many women spend decades as the “side dish,” what it means to reclaim main-dish energy – and why that mattersHow Deb connected with Carla Hall, celebrity chef, and why the collaboration clicked so wellWhat TheMeMenu actually is: A way of thinking and being + 6-week self-paced coaching program + An AI-powered “Sous Chef” for spot-coachingWhat makes TheMeMenu unique: Built by women over 50 for women over 50, Carla Hall's “secret sauce”, and a mission to democratize access to coachingWhy Deb sees AI as a complement to human coaching, not a replacementInside the CollaborationDeb, Carla, and Kirsten: three women, three strengthsTheir creative process: cooking vs bakingWhy “nothing works if the raw ingredients aren't good”The importance of creating their “mise en place”Over 100 iterations – and why “there's no such thing as done”Building a product while the technology was still emerging Practical TakeawaysWhat partners, spouses, kids, and friends can most do to support the women in their livesTwo powerful questions to ask – and 1 micro-behavior that mattersWhy “How can I help?' can be taxing – and why it's often better to just make offersThinking in terms of a lifelong conversation, not a one-time check-inLightning Round laser insights: Deb on the hard truth about personal change, the key to collaboration, the power of her summer in Spain, and the focus of her new book, Aim High and Bounce Back: A Successful Woman's Guide to Rethinking and Rising Up from Failure BIO AND LINKSDeborah Grayson Riegel, MSW, PCC is a keynote speaker, leadership communications expert, executive coach, and author.

In this short episode, I share an excerpt from one of Geneen Roth's books about the eating we don't recognise as eating and which means we weigh more than our natural weight. I encourage you to listen and bring awareness to this concept in the next week so that you can understand what's really going on for you in those moments because THEY MATTER and make a difference in so many ways.

We kicked off our new series: Elisha - The Making of a Miracle Worker this week. We are excited to see all that God has in store for us with this series!

We talk a lot about dreaming bigger — but not nearly enough about what it actually costs to play it safe. Fear of failure keeps brilliant ideas stuck in our heads, careers stalled, and confidence quietly eroding. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil is joined by Lorraine H. Marchand, innovation expert, Wharton professor, and author of No Fear, No Failure. Together, they unpack why failure isn't the enemy — avoidance is. From reframing fear as data, to designing smarter experiments, to creating cultures (and inner narratives) where learning beats perfection, this conversation is a permission slip to try, fail, learn… and keep going. If you've ever felt paralyzed by getting it wrong, worried about failing publicly, or trapped by environments that say they want innovation but punish mistakes — this episode is for you. We explore: Why fear of failure shuts down growth faster than actual failure ever could How to reframe failure as learning (and why that changes everything) Why women are more likely to internalize failure — and how to stop How to test ideas without burning it all down What “failing forward” looks like in real life (not just on LinkedIn) How to stop being afraid of other people seeing you try Because growth doesn't happen without risk — and playing it safe has a cost.

In this solo episode of Next Level Minds, I explore the key obstacles that keep people from their ideal life: lack of direction, focus, effort, desire, the right inner circle, energy, and discipline. I share practical advice to set clear goals, prioritize time and habits, improve sleep and fitness, build supportive relationships, and commit to consistent discipline to make progress in faith, family, fitness, and finances.

Jeannette explores the five brutal truths of leadership that often prevent businesses from scaling. She argues that business stagnation is frequently a standards problem rather than a strategy problem, and that true growth requires a deep internal audit of the leader's own habits, ego, and emotional triggers.  By shifting focus from external tactics to internal self-awareness, leaders can identify where they are becoming the bottleneck and learn to let go of control to create the space necessary for their organisation to expand. You'll Learn Why: You might be addicted to being needed Your standards act as a ceiling Avoiding difficult conversations stalls progress Your personal life affects your leadership This episode is living proof that no matter where you're starting from — or what life throws at you — it's never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1888DMThere's a belief running under the surface that's keeping you from everything you actually want. It sounds like "who do I think I am?" when you dream about a relationship where someone truly loves you, when you consider financial freedom, when you think about that creative project your friends think is crazy.Lewis gets raw about the inner critic we've all trained. The voice that says you're not smart enough, not talented enough, that you're a failure. He breaks down why we turn failures into identity instead of feedback, why we learned to overwork and overachieve just to feel validated, and why we self-sabotage right before things go well. The shift isn't about ego or thinking you're better than anyone. It's simpler and more profound: worthiness is believing you don't have to punish yourself to deserve a good life. You failed at walking as a baby a thousand times and never called yourself a failure. That same truth applies now. Stop blocking what's trying to reach you.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If you've lived life in a larger body, you know what it's like when you just feel "too big".  You look at a group photo and instead of seeing a great memory, all you see is how much space you take up. You second-guess what you order at a catered lunch because you're sure someone's watching what the overweight doctor eats. And that shrinking doesn't stop at your body — it starts showing up in your opinions, your needs, and how you move through the world. In this episode, I dig into the "too big, too large" belief — where it actually comes from, how it quietly runs way more of your life than you realize, and why the place you make changes from matters just as much as the changes themselves.  This one's for you if you've ever tried to make yourself smaller in any way — physically or otherwise.

In this episode, I'm talking about the least flashy but most important part of your health journey: your mindset. If you keep starting strong and then falling off, feeling overwhelmed, or jumping from plan to plan, it might not be a discipline problem - it could be self-sabotage patterns running in the background.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!What if the thing holding you back isn't your past…it's the story you keep telling yourself about it?In this Mindset Monday, I'm coming for limiting beliefs. The quiet “rules” you picked up in survival mode and never updated. The lie that you're not smart enough, not disciplined, not the “type” who gets sober, not the “type” who succeeds, not the “type” who gets a healthy relationship or a fresh start.I break down how these beliefs form (childhood chaos, early failure, being labeled), why they made sense back then, and why they're costing you everything now. Then we run a simple exercise we use in Reclaiming You: find the belief, name the cost, question it, and test it - because new evidence doesn't come from thinking, journaling, or “getting ready.” It comes from action.If you've ever looked at people with their life together and thought, “That's not for someone like me,” this episode is your wake-up call. You're not made of different stuff. You're just still buying the narrative that you accepted wholesale without scrutiny once upon a time.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!

If “I don't have time” is your most-used sentence…while you're also exhausted, overwhelmed and secretly scared of burning out again, this episode is for you.In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we pull apart what's really going on when you feel like you have to do everything perfectly or there's no point doing anything at all.We talk about:- Why trying to overhaul your entire life in one hit always ends the same way: burnout, guilt and another restart.- The mental load of work, kids, home, health and why your brain is already full before you even think about the gym.- How “I'll start when things calm down” keeps you stuck for years.- The power of a few simple non-negotiables – tiny anchors that keep you steady when life gets chaotic.- How to build a routine that fits your real life, not the fantasy version in your head.If you're sick of starting strong and crashing a few weeks later, or feeling like the only way to change is to run yourself into the ground, this episode will help you swap doing it all for doing what matters…consistently.

In this episode of Life Rewired, Kristina breaks down the seven most common nutrition mistakes she sees while doing food audits. After analyzing thousands of logs, one thing has become clear: what is holding so many women back is simply repeating small, compounding mistakes that no one has ever clearly identified. When three honest days of intake are reviewed objectively, patterns emerge. And often, the issue is not a need for lower calories or stricter macros, but better structure and smarter distribution.Kristina walks through the biggest offenders, including under-eating protein earlier in the day, failing to distribute calories evenly, building macro-based meals instead of balanced plates, relying too heavily on snacks, inaccurately measuring portions, and overlooking liquid calories. She explains why evenly spaced protein supports muscle and metabolism, how fiber and micronutrient density influence blood sugar and fullness, and why rhythm in daily intake creates stability for both body composition and energy. The episode also highlights how subtle habits like eyeballing portions or hoarding calories for dinner can quietly stall progress over time.Ultimately, this conversation reframes fat loss frustration as a data problem, not a discipline problem. Food audits remove emotion and replace it with clarity, allowing women to see exactly where small adjustments can create powerful change. Rather than encouraging more restriction, Kristina emphasizes structure, awareness, and intentional balance as the true drivers of sustainable results.FUNCTIONAL & FITNESS AUDIT (LIMITED TIME):https://builtgroupcoaching.my.canva.site/nutrition-auditWATCH ON YOUTUBE:⁠https://www.youtube.com/@kristinaturnure/podcasts⁠BALANCED BLUEPRINT MEMBERSHIP:https://builtgroupcoaching.my.canva.site/balancedblueprintmembershipBUILT AND BALANCED VIP COACHING:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScV_IGO2VhRV415iIsiHz6TGr76wuH-loG2eGt068pZG474qw/viewform BUILT & BALANCED NEWSLETTER:⁠⁠⁠https://builtandbalanced.kit.com/dd0f3197cc⁠⁠⁠LIFE REWIRED IG:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/LIFEREWIREDPODCAST/?utm_medium=copy_link⁠⁠KRIS IG:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristinaturnure/?hl=en⁠⁠NASH BARS:https://nashnutrition.co/PTULA: DISCOUNT CODE KRISTINAT https://www.ptula.com/TRANSPARENT LABS: CODE KRISTINA https://athlete.transparentlabs.com/kristinaturnure

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.comMost leaders were taught to leave their emotions at the door. Today's guest says that advice isn't just outdated — it's costly. In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth sits down with Dina Denham Smith, executive coach and bestselling author of Emotionally Charged, to unpack why emotional skill is now a core leadership capability, not a “soft” add-on. Drawing on behavioral science and her work as an executive coach and strategic advisor, Dina explains why emotions are data, how leaders unknowingly perform massive emotional labor, and what it really takes to manage triggers, prevent burnout, and unlock performance. As Dina puts it: “Emotions are money.” By the end of this conversation, you'll see why ignoring emotions is bad for you and bad for business – and what to do instead.SHOW NOTESDina's story — and why this work mattersOne surprising thing about Dina you won't find on the internetHow Emotionally Charged would have helped Dina earlier in her own careerWhat sparked Dina's interest in the science of emotionsHow the pandemic and technology shifts dramatically increased the emotional demands placed on leadersCore ideas from Emotionally ChargedThe key takeaway: Emotions are information“Emotions are money”: how feelings directly translate into performance, retention, and resultsThe biggest myth Dina wants to retire: that emotions get in the way of good business decisionsWhat “emotional labor” really means — and why research shows leaders perform as much of it as customer service professionals (and in more complex ways)The three layers of every emotion: physiology, cognition, and behaviorWhy suppressing emotions is like trying to hold beach balls underwater Practical tools you can use immediatelyBeach balls, masks, and “letting it all hang out”: finding the right balance at workWhy expanding your emotional vocabulary dramatically improves self-regulationDina's BRAVE framework for managing triggers in real time: Breathe, Refocus, Accept, Verbalize, Engage Restoration (not “self-care”): four evidence-based ways leaders recover from emotional strain: Detachment, Relaxation, Mastery, Control Power, leadership, and team cultureWhy leaders consistently underestimate their emotional impactHow power amplifies everything you feel and showWhy everyone cues off their leader's emotional signals (often unconsciously)How leaders can normalize emotional expression on their teams — without turning meetings into complaint sessionsSimple ways managers can reset emotional culture inside their own sphere of influenceDina's reminder: emotional skills are learnable — and improvable at any stage of your career. BIO AND LINKSDina Denham Smith is an executive coach and strategic advisor who helps senior leaders build their capacity, scale their impact, and thrive in complexity.

What's the one fear that's keeping you stuck in your network marketing business? It's not bad leads or bad timing - it's something much deeper.In this episode, we're uncovering the secret fear that most network marketers won't admit out loud: the fear of failing publicly.

In this episode of the Rocket Chiro Podcast, Jerry Kennedy dives into one of the biggest mistakes chiropractors make in business and marketing: trying to copy someone else's path to success. You are not the chiropractor you heard speak at a seminar. You are not the person you follow online. You are not even the chiropractor down the street. Your skills, personality, finances, family situation, timing, and opportunities are all different, and ignoring those differences dramatically lowers your chances of success. This episode breaks down why cookie-cutter strategies often fail, why context matters more than tactics, and how to make progress by being honest about your situation and playing the hand you're actually dealt. Key Topics Covered Why copying other chiropractors rarely works How differences in skills, finances, family, and timing shape outcomes The danger of seminar success stories and online comparisons Why "If I can do it, anyone can do it" is a misleading idea How lack of context leads to frustration and burnout The Big Three Framework Jerry introduces three foundational factors that determine meaningful progress: Interest What you are genuinely interested in, not what looks good or sounds impressive. Skill What you are capable of executing well right now, along with the skills you still need to develop. Opportunity Your real-world circumstances, including finances, location, relationships, timing, and access to resources. The overlap of interest, skill, and opportunity is where the greatest potential for meaningful change exists. What Creates Long-Term Progress Short-term change requires interest, skill, and opportunity. Long-term success adds two more elements: Structure Clear systems, standards, and guardrails that remove guesswork and allow you to measure what's actually working. Consistency Boring, repetitive execution over time that compounds results. Structure does not have to look the same for everyone, but everyone needs it. Hard Truths Chiropractors Need to Hear Stop pretending to be more successful than you are Stop copying practices that don't match your reality Stop forcing niches and patient types you don't enjoy Stop relying on motivation instead of discipline Honesty is the starting point for real progress. Practical Takeaways Be honest about your interests, skills, and opportunities Start from where you are, not where someone else is Learn principles and strategies, not just scripts Understand why something works so you can adapt when it stops working Show up prepared to think for yourself, not just follow instructions Final Thoughts You cannot start from a better place without first starting from where you are. Your choices are to start now or let things get worse and start later. Understanding principles, concepts, and strategies is far more valuable than blindly following a formula. When you know why something works, you gain the ability to adapt, adjust, and make better decisions over time. Play the hand you're dealt, build structure around it, stay consistent, and move forward.     Resources Mentioned • Rocket Chiro chiropractic websites and local SEO: https://rocketchiro.com/best-chiropractic-websites/ • Website and SEO review requests at RocketChiro.com: https://rocketchiro.com/contact/chiropractic-practice-assessment/ • NEXT Step chiropractic business coaching: https://rocketchiro.com/chiropractic-coaching/  

I don't know if this episode is going to be for everyone, but if you're early on in your style journey, I still want you to pay attention. Because I'm talking about a trap that I see so many women fall into and I don't want this to happen to you!   You might be on a big quest to conquer your style — deep diving into color analysis and body typing, paying attention to what's "flattering" and "timeless," learning all the rules about what you're supposed to wear and what you're not. But slowly over time, what you might notice is that all of those style rules stack up.   What often happens is that you end up with this invisible rulebook running in the background every time you get dressed. You start writing off certain colors and limiting your options before you even try them on. And somewhere along the way, it becomes less about what you love and more about getting it "right." You've done all the work, but putting an outfit together feels more complicated than ever.   So today, I want to talk about what happens when you have all of these self-imposed style rules, why they're holding you back, and what to do when you know too much. I want to simplify the art and science of getting dressed so you can lean on your own intuition and feel excited and empowered when you open up your closet doors.   If you ask me, I think it's about time to unlearn a few things, my friend. Dive in with me today and let's discuss.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 186 – Breaking the "Style Rules" and Getting to the Why of What Works for You [Client Success Story] 77 – Hearing Conflicting Style Advice?

In this Agent Power Huddle session, Matthew leads a powerful training focused on identifying what truly holds real estate agents back—from mindset and habits to lack of structure and community presence. Through a series of thought-provoking questions, he challenges agents to examine whether they are building a sustainable business or simply staying busy, what they avoid doing each morning, and how their actions would change if income were no longer a concern. The conversation highlights the importance of systems, routines, and intentional relationship-building as keys to long-term success. Jesse shared his own challenge around deeper community connection, reinforcing the value of being visible, known, and trusted locally. Gay-Lynn contributed real-world insight by sharing how hiring a personal assistant helped her scale more effectively. Matthew closed by emphasizing the impact of face-to-face relationships, including the strategic use of an outside office, and hinted at a future deep-dive session to expand on these principles.

What does your life look like when you're truly living out your identity in Christ? Are you becoming who you were created to be—or just living in the shadows of that calling? In this 'Average Joe' conversation, Pastor Jim Ramos sits down with longtime friend and fellow ministry leader Mike Riley to unpack what your identity in Christ really means. Not what you do. Not who you know. But who you are at your core—and how God actually sees you. Discover how fully understanding and embracing that identity can set you free, allowing the people around you to feel both the weight and the blessing of who God made you to be. Don't let the enemy strip you of your true identity. It's time to step off the bleachers, out of the shadows, and shine the way God designed you to.

What if the reason you haven't reached your next level isn't strategy — but subconscious programming?  So many driven leaders do "all the right things," yet still feel stuck, unfulfilled, or disconnected from their purpose. The missing piece often lives beneath the surface. In this episode of The Business of You, we explore the powerful relationship between mindset, purpose, and success — and how rewriting the mental scripts formed early in life can radically change both your business and your personal fulfillment. Eli Bowman is a top-selling author, certified Aspire Tour Speaker, and 7-figure entrepreneur who scaled a startup to a multimillion-dollar valuation after transforming his own internal programming. As a certified expert in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Eli helps leaders identify unconscious beliefs and replace them with empowering frameworks rooted in authenticity and intention. In this episode, Eli breaks down how subconscious conditioning shapes outcomes, how to move through deconstruction without getting stuck, and how you can begin rewriting your own program. Understanding the Programs That Run Your Life Eli explains how our earliest experiences shape unconscious beliefs that quietly dictate our decisions, behaviors, and tolerance for risk. From birth through early childhood, the brain is highly impressionable — absorbing messages about safety, success, and self-worth that often remain unexamined well into adulthood. For entrepreneurs and leaders, these hidden programs can show up as fear of failure, chronic self-doubt, or resistance to growth. By developing awareness and learning to observe these patterns without judgment, leaders gain the power to choose differently — rather than repeating inherited scripts. Through neuro-linguistic programming, Eli shows how becoming conscious of these internal patterns is the first step toward reclaiming agency and building a future aligned with who you truly are. The Path of Purpose: From Deconstruction to Impact Eli introduces his framework, The Path of Purpose, guiding listeners through four stages: conformity, deconstruction, enlightenment, and impact. While deconstruction can feel uncomfortable — even painful — Eli reframes it as a necessary foundation for authenticity and lasting fulfillment. Rather than identifying with being "broken" or perpetually healing, Eli encourages completion — acknowledging past conditioning, releasing it, and consciously choosing new beliefs. This shift allows leaders to move forward with clarity, confidence, and creative energy. When purpose becomes clear, impact naturally follows. Eli's journey shows that fulfillment isn't found by chasing success — it's found by aligning internal truth with external action. Enjoy this episode with Eli Bowman… Soundbytes 15:28 – 15:56 "In order to really shed borrowed values, we have to go through a deconstruction period where we take everything apart. This can be really painful. This could look like rock bottom. It could look like despair. No one wants to experience that, but sometimes rock bottom isn't a place where you arrive — it's a foundation upon which you can build. For me, rock bottom was necessary." 35:48 – 36:35 "We create as we speak. Here's the framework I would give someone. The self-talk that we participate in must be positive, uplifting, hopeful, edifying, and creative — not destructive, not critical of ourselves. The way we talk about ourselves to ourselves is so powerful and it directly affects our day-to-day life. We say the words, or think them, to ourselves. Our unconscious mind retains that. And our unconscious mind is responsible for the patterns we live, day to day." Quotes "Rock bottom isn't where you end — it's where you rebuild." "We create as we speak." "Borrowed beliefs will always limit authentic success." "Your purpose is found when you choose who you are — not who you were told to be."

Do you feel like you're constantly failing at work-life balance? Or maybe you're tired of advice that tells you to optimize every second of your day and track every single habit? If you want a fresh, unconventional approach to building a life you love, this episode is for you. My guest is Jonathan Goodman, the author of Unhinged Habits. He's a fitness industry veteran who challenges the idea that slow and steady always wins the race. Instead, he explains why periods of intensity — followed by rest — are actually the key to transforming your life. Some of the things we discuss are: Why you should stop trying to balance money, health, and relationships simultaneously The problem with trying to get "1% better every day" How to use "seasons" of intensity to level up your life The simple "Hats vs. Tattoos" rule for making faster decisions without regret Why having fewer friends might actually make you happier and less lonely How to create an "off-season checklist" so you don't feel guilty about the things you aren't focusing on right now How to launch a "micro-season" to tackle your biggest goals in just 30 days Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

This content was created in 2020. Rewrite Your Story: Remove the Blocks Holding You Back Beautiful soul, this month is about freedom. In this episode, Julie introduces the Rewrite Your Story course and walks you through how subconscious beliefs, thought patterns, and old stories quietly shape your life. If you feel stuck, frustrated, or like you keep hitting the same invisible wall, this message explains why and how to change it. You'll learn how the egoic mind creates limiting stories, how intuition tries to guide you forward, and how to consciously rewrite the narratives that no longer serve you. This work is gentle, practical, and deeply empowering, helping you take ownership of your thoughts, actions, and future. This episode is especially supportive for anyone who feels blocked around health, intuition, relationships, purpose, or abundance and is ready to reclaim their power and move forward with clarity.

There's a lot of advice out there. Much of it is well-intentioned but doesn't actually help you feel better.In this episode, we break down five wellness trends we are officially leaving behind as we move into 2026. These are the habits, mindsets, and messages that sound productive on the surface but often lead to stress, confusion, burnout, and paralysis.We unpack how tracking everything can disconnect you from your body, how cortisol panic has gone completely off the rails, how to recognize marketing traps, why hunger is not a badge of honor, and how over-researching keeps you stuck instead of moving.This conversation is about trusting your body, using awareness without obsession, choosing consistency over extremes, and remembering that action, not perfection, is what actually creates change.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by wellness culture, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.(00:00:48) Welcome back to the podcast(00:04:50) Today's topic: 5 Wellness Trends We're Dropping(00:07:30) Trend #5: Tracking Everything(00:19:50) Trend #4 Cortisol Panic(00:28:13) Trend #3 “Her” Programs(00:34:31) Trend #2 Hunger as Proof of Success(00:41:08) Trend #1 Researching Forever Acting Never(00:48:21) What we're taking into 2026 insteadWant to leave the TTSL Podcast a voicemail?
