He emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying health implications and the need for true healing rather than mere substitution. The conversation highlights the commercialization of mood regulation and offers practical steps for achieving genuine health ownership.TakeawaysWe are celebrating the wrong thing by normalizing sobriety.Alcohol consumption is down, but substance use is up.Daily cannabis use has exploded since 2008.The wellness industry is masking deeper issues.Sobriety is about capacity, not just the absence of alcohol.Mood manipulation is prevalent in wellness products.True healing requires addressing root causes.Commercial interests profit from habit-forming rituals.We need to seek genuine community, not just commodities.Practical steps can lead to true health and recovery.TitlesThe Truth Behind Alcohol Consumption TrendsSubstituting Alcohol: A Deeper LookSound bites"Daily marijuana use now surpasses daily alcohol use.""Better for you doesn't always equal benign.""Sobriety is not the absence of a drink."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Health Ownership01:01 The Shift in Alcohol Consumption05:50 Substituting Alcohol: The Rise of Cannabis and Hallucinogenics13:03 The Illusion of Wellness: Mood Manipulation and Commercialization19:44 Practical Steps for True Healing and Recovery=========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE: ➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG =========================== Resources: ⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/ =========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media: ➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en Own It Success is different so own your different!

In today's episode, Gina discusses how small changes in behavior, which are not difficult to achieve, can represent significant milestones on the way to recovery from anxiety. If we can demonstrate some of these beneficial thoughts and behaviors, even amidst an unpleasant anxiety storm, we can recognize that we are making progress and use these moments of recognition to help stabilize ourselves and carry on despite the stormy anxiety weather.

I explore the common struggles many face when seeming setbacks occur, such as experiencing a panic attack after a period of calm or revisiting old triggers. These moments can feel disheartening, making it seem as if all progress has been lost. However, I emphasize that these experiences are not failures; rather, they can signify healing and growth. Citing Mary Pickford, I remind listeners that true failure lies not in stumbling but in remaining down.Recovery from anxiety is not a linear process. Rather than picturing it as a smooth ascent, I liken it to a spiral, where individuals revisit familiar struggles but do so with enhanced strength and awareness. Each encounter with past triggers can be viewed as an opportunity to practice skills developed throughout the journey. It's crucial to understand that these "step backs" can serve as valuable invitations to reinforce and apply the tools one has acquired over time.I also address the natural emotional exhaustion accompanying this journey. It's normal to feel overwhelmed when confronting fears, and I urge listeners to practice self-compassion in these times. Each confrontation is an opportunity for growth, highlighting a milestone in overcoming avoidance—an essential step in reducing anxiety. Recognizing triggers as they appear demonstrates significant self-awareness, marking a shift from mindless reactions to conscious understanding.#anxiety #anxietyrecovery #mentalhealth #emotionalwellness #panicattacks #mindfulness #resilience #healing #selfcare #selfcompassion #setback #progress #mindset #personalgrowth #journaling #podcast #copingmechanisms #nervoussystem #triggers #avoidance #confrontation #stressmanagement #selfawareness #emotionalexhaustion #trusttheprocess #ACP #anxietycoachespodcast #GinaRyanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most people think personal development is about becoming the “best version” of themselves. But what if that vision is too small? In this episode, I challenge the idea of self-growth for self's sake and exposes the truth about why so many are stuck in the negative, buried under insecurity, doubt, and inherited limitations.I break down (the climb) out of that hole, the shift from barely surviving to truly thriving, and what you begin to see once you rise above: quality vs. low quality, influence vs. distraction, and the bigger game that life is really about. From faith to finance, mindset to martial arts, this is about discovering that growth isn't just personal, it's preparation for the world, the network, and the higher powers that shape it.The real game doesn't start until you overcome yourself.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

When you learn to recognize what is real and what is fabricated by fear and doubt, you gain the clarity, awareness, and self-respect necessary to reshape your life."Above the Illusion" will leave you more prepared, more conscious, and more powerful than ever before – ready to live with a sharpness that cuts through deception and a confidence rooted in truth.Buy now. https://a.co/d/8w516R7

The Illusion of Success: Why We Feel Unfulfilled Even When We Have It All What if your greatest achievement was a trap? What if the success you've worked your entire life to achieve left you feeling more miserable than when you started? This isn't a hypothetical question. It's the shocking reality for countless high-achievers, entrepreneurs, and leaders. It's the central theme of a powerful conversation I had with Keala Kanae, who went from $20,000 in debt and a life of numbing out to building a multi-million-dollar empire. But as he revealed, the real breakthrough wasn't about the money; it was about "unlearning the lies he'd been telling himself". This is a new perspective that will shatter everything you think you know about success, discipline, and leadership. Procrastination is Not a Flaw, It's Feedback We've all been told that procrastination, self-sabotage, and imposter syndrome are signs of a lack of discipline or a character flaw. But Keala offers a radically different view: these are not problems to overcome, but symptoms that serve as feedback. He explains that every human being has a set of unconscious values that governs their life. When our conscious goals are in conflict with these unconscious values, we experience these symptoms. The 11-year-old boy who plays video games until 2 a.m. is not undisciplined; he is highly disciplined in something he values. The mind's purpose is to help us fulfill what we perceive to be most valuable. Therefore, our procrastination isn't a sign that we're broken—it's a signal telling us when we're venturing away from what we truly value. The True Meaning of Your Bank Account and Calendar To understand our own values, we have to stop listening to the "noisy society" that tells us who we are supposed to be. Keala echoes the wisdom of business guru Peter Drucker, who said, “Tell me what you value, and I might believe you, but show me your bank account and your calendar, and I'll show you what you value”. If you're a leader who says you value your family, but your calendar is packed with work and your energy is spent on business podcasts while your kids and spouse are at the bottom of your priority list, your life is perfectly demonstrating what you actually value. When we are pursuing things we truly value, we have inspiration—an internal, self-sustaining drive. When we're pursuing something low on our value list, we need motivation—an external force that is never self-sustaining. The Trap of the "Greatest Human Illusion" Keala believes the greatest human illusion is thinking we can have one side of life without the other. We are taught to label things as "good" or "bad". When we label something as "good," we're conscious of the benefits but unconscious of the drawbacks. When we label something as "bad," we're conscious of the drawbacks but unconscious of the benefits. The reality is that equanimity, or balance, is the language of the universe. Keala shares a powerful example: the Black Plague of the 14th century killed tens of millions, but a mutation that stemmed from its survivors made millions of people immune to the AIDS virus centuries later. Was the plague good or bad? "It was both," he says, because both sides exist. From Forgiveness to Gratitude This understanding is the key to true healing and fulfillment. We often hold onto resentment. The next step is forgiveness, which is better than resentment, but still comes from the perspective that "I'm right, you're wrong". The place beyond forgiveness is gratitude. It is the profound realization that "I see how this benefited me". When Keala went back and re-examined the traumatic memories of his childhood, he realized that the very arguments about money that caused him pain were what honed his communication skills and helped him become a great marketer. When you realize your greatest challenge was also your greatest gift, "what the fuck can stop you then?". Your Secret Weapon: Know Thyself, Lead Thyself This entire journey is about becoming an "authentic leader". Keala defines this as someone who "knows their calling and has the courage to answer the call". This requires shedding the personas and false beliefs we've inherited from a noisy world. Want to start this journey of profound self-discovery? Keala has a free self-assessment that will help you identify your actual, unconscious values. He calls it The Power Code.

In this episode, we explore why sexual certainty, which is the belief that you already know exactly how intimacy should look, might actually be blocking passion and connection in your relationship. You'll learn the difference between confidence and certainty, how curiosity creates space for growth, and why faith and openness are key to deeper intimacy. Through personal stories, brain science, and real-life coaching examples, you'll see how letting go of rigid beliefs and asking better questions can transform your marriage, strengthen your connection, and help you discover new levels of joy in your intimate relationship.

Ajahn Cunda explores the practice of body contemplation (asubha), encouraging reflection on the impermanent, unattractive, and fragile nature of the human body to reduce attachment and develop dispassion. He emphasizes that such contemplation, while uncomfortable, leads to greater clarity, peace, and acceptance of aging, illness, and death. This Dhamma talk was offered on August 30, 2025 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.

Highlights00:03 — Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman has published a blog post that criticizes the notion of seemingly conscious AI. He argues that the pursuit of this idea, particularly regarding AI model welfare, is misguided.00:19 — Suleyman explains that these concepts are already causing mental health issues among users. He is growing: “more and more concerned about what is becoming known as the psychosis risk and a bunch of related issues. I don't think this will be limited to those who are already at risk of mental health issues.”00:56 — Suleyman argues that we should “build AI for people not to be a person.” He is adamant in his neglect of this previous approach, saying that: “The arrival of seemingly conscious AI is inevitable and unwelcome. Instead, we need a vision for AI that can fulfill its potential as a helpful companion without falling prey to its illusions.”AI Agent & Copilot Summit is an AI-first event to define opportunities, impact, and outcomes with Microsoft Copilot and agents. Building on its 2025 success, the 2026 event takes place March 17-19 in San Diego. Get more details. 01:18 — Meanwhile, companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind are actively pursuing AI consciousness or welfare research. Now, while there are complications and not everyone is on the same page, here, it is clear that the evolving scenarios and possibilities presented by AI are increasingly reaching into the realm of the surreal and in some cases, they're fantastical.01:42 — This is largely because, for the first time in human history, we have a tool that is evolving at a pace beyond which we can conceive. While some of these ideas may sound far-fetched, the warnings accompanying them are serious based on real concerns coming from leaders in the AI space, the ones leading this new AI revolution.02:04 — What everyone must do, and though it will be challenging, is to start imagining the unimaginable. Once you accept the vast possibilities of AI, both good and bad, you can begin to take the warnings that come with them seriously. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

This week, we explore the upcoming lunar eclipse in Purva Bhadrapada, as the Moon joins Rahu and the Sun joins Ketu. This combination brings heightened sensitivity, stirring the mind and emotions while asking us to release the grip of the past and lean into future possibilities. Old matters may resurface, not to hold us back, but to give us the choice of what to carry forward and what to leave behind.Purva Bhadrapada, governed by Jupiter, is one of the most intense and polarizing nakshatras—symbolized by the front legs of a funeral cot. Its themes remind us of impermanence, death, and transformation. This energy can feel volatile and dual in nature, but it also offers profound opportunities for truth-seeking, purification, and spiritual awakening. It urges us to strip back illusions and attachments to reveal the eternal spirit within all beings.We'll also discuss:Embracing duality with neutrality, allowing ourselves to sit with both pleasure and discomfort without judgment.Shadow sides of this eclipse—indulgence, addiction, volatility—and how to navigate them consciously.Collective themes: transformative revelations, rumors, and intensities on the global stage, from leaders in the spotlight to ongoing health headlines.This eclipse invites us into the fire of purification—burning away what no longer serves.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

 How can intelligent, educated people fervently believe demonstrable falsehoods simply because a leader—a known liar, cheat, and failed opportunist—declares them? We all recognize the type: the charismatic demagogue who sells dreams but delivers only betrayal.Common sense ceases to function when it's not applied. Yet so many suspend critical thinking to embrace blatant nonsense. Why?The Cult of the Chronic LiarBlind faith in pathological dishonesty isn't just irrational—it's tribal.People don't follow such leaders despite the lies but because of them. The lies are loyalty tests.To question the leader is to betray the tribe. This is how cults operate—whether political or religious.The High Cost of Independent ThoughtI've paid for my skepticism:Spiritual groups (like Osho's) were accused of “brainwashing,” yet they encouraged more critical thinking than mainstream society. The irony? It's the masses who are truly brainwashed.Politics everywhere is a rigged duopoly:Germany's CDU/SPD, America's Democrats/Republicans, Britain's Labour/Tories—all serve the same masters: wealth and war.Every new U.S. president starts 2 wars on average; every system funnels money upward while pretending to debate “left vs. right.”Why Don't "Smart" People See This?CowardiceMost fear isolation more than deception. It's safer to chant slogans than to stand alone.Comfort in IllusionBelieving “your side” is virtuous—despite identical outcomes—is easier than admitting the game is fixed.Manufactured DivisionThe elite want us fighting over pronouns or tax cuts while they loot the treasury.Democracy? Or Theater of Compliance?We call this system “democracy,” but it's really a rotation of masks on the same face. The majority choose their own oppressors because:Critical thinking is punished (bullying, ostracism).Conformity is rewarded (social approval, false belonging).The curse of awareness is loneliness. But the alternative—complicity in collective delusion—is far worse.My Video:  What is happening  https://youtu.be/Qv0K8gaYrGIMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/What-is-happening.mp3

In this inspiring talk, When Truth Speaks, Illusion Fades, Rev Lee Wolak explores how every thought, word, and action either broadcasts truth or echoes the illusion of separation. When you live rooted in conscious awareness, you become the clear signal—steady, powerful, and aligned with Spirit. But when you slip into unconsciousness, you dissolve into the noise of fear, distraction, and disconnection.

You're not burnt out because you missed the latest self-care hack. You're burnt out because you engineered your entire rhythm around relentless pace, and called it strength. In this episode, I don't teach you to slow down for the sake of “balance.” I expose the core fracture beneath the surface: you've mistaken pressure for power, collapse for rest, and survival for leadership.  We talk about the subtle but lethal tradeoff, how high-achieving women are conditioned to run like machines, never allowed downtime, until breaking becomes the only release valve. Emotional mastery is not a spa day. It's radical, strategic rewiring: refusing to let cultural and neurological default settings dictate your worth, energy, or legacy.  Key Takeaways: Busyness is often mistaken for strength, but it can lead to disconnection and burnout.Collapse is not rest; true rest is restorative and requires intention, especially for women.Cultural and systemic factors contribute to women's exhaustion—it's not a personal flaw.The first step to change is becoming aware of your own rhythms and how you experience rest.  This episode is not for anyone satisfied with treating symptoms or wearing exhaustion as a badge. If you're willing to interrogate your pace with honesty and lead from internal authority, this is your invitation. Ready for the real reset? Start by noticing, noticing what's collapse, what's survival, what's actually restorative. Then, join my experience. It's not therapy. It's a strategic, soul-level interruption.  Subscribe. Reflect.

Most people never see life all the way through. They stop halfway, abandon the process, and wonder why clarity, fulfillment, and mastery always escape them. In this episode, I break down the passive mind, the lazy, stagnant mindset that quits before the finish line and never gets to experience the truth of completion.

This eclipse season shadows are already fun because all the clarity you got around summer solstice is kinda...dissipating. All the excitement you felt around your decisions is now feeling more emotional. These delayed emotions might make you second guess your choices, or dysregulate your nervous system. But that's truly the test! You're being asked to backtrack and look at the wounds you overlooked and maybe acted out of integrity towards. We're there casualties in your moves? Think of this eclipse as a clearing. The Pisces energy says lets close chapter for real and virgo energy says step into this self-realized energy for real.

Welcome to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast.

The episode delves into Paul Gascoigne's tearful departure due to a career-threatening injury during the FA Cup final and the financial turmoil facing the club, which saw a potential world-record transfer deal collapse. The podcast covers the epic highs and disastrous lows of that pivotal season, from Gascoigne's mesmerizing FA Cup run to the behind-the-scenes financial entanglements involving Irving Scholar and the club's eventual acquisition by Alan Sugar.

For decades, women have been sold the idea that giving their sex away freely is power. That liberation looks like detachment, like being able to move as men do, casual, unbothered, and unclaimed. But when you strip the layers back, what was packaged as empowerment is really just another strategy of control.

Is AI intelligent—or just artificial? In this provocative episode, Dr. Noreen Herzfeld, a rare scholar of both computer science and theology, joins Dru Johnson to expose what most people overlook about artificial intelligence. Drawing from her recent book The Artifice of Intelligence, she challenges the mythology of AGI (artificial general intelligence) and critiques the environmental, social, and theological costs of current AI use. Herzfeld argues that large language models are plateauing and that the real danger isn't a superintelligence—it's our uncritical, energy-intensive use of biased software masquerading as neutral tools. She warns of AI's water and fossil fuel demands, its disembodied affirmation loops, and the illusion that chatbots are viable substitutes for therapists, pastors, or friends. Rooting her critique in Christian theology, Herzfeld defends the value of embodiment, human uniqueness, and community. She sees modern AI and transhumanist dreams as a return to ancient Gnostic heresies—disembodied, elitist, and ultimately dehumanizing. This episode is essential for anyone navigating the ethical, spiritual, and ecological implications of AI. You'll come away more equipped to use AI critically—and to resist the false promises of digital utopia.

Mike Azlen joins Moritz Seibert for a frank look at carbon markets, and why much of what passes for climate action may be making things worse. While offsets dominate headlines, it's the regulated markets that deliver real emissions cuts by design, not intention.

From structural inefficiencies to measurable impact, this is a conversation about aligning incentives with outcomes - in a market where price isn't just a signal, but a lever.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Moritz on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:02:14 - Introduction to Mike Azlen04:00 - What are Carbon Markets and how do they function?13:32 - How Carbon Markets work in different countries16:35 - The complexities of carbon offsets - viable or just a scam?21:58 - Is Carbon Capture a viable solution to the climate crisis?25:44 - Why is there a risk premium in compliance carbon markets?29:31 - The difference between spot and physical permits32:35 - Why is the funding premium so large in California?33:49 - The investment philosophy behind Carbon Cap Management36:56 - It's all in the EUAs40:50 - The positive impact of Carbon Cap Management45:39 - Wrapping upCopyright © 2024 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS:...

Many people, especially leaders and high achievers, don't recognize burnout until they're forced to stop. The societal reward for pushing through pain needs to be questioned.• Connection is a powerful antidote. Those less prone to burnout often have strong, supportive networks—people they feel safe being vulnerable with. High-quality sleep, healthy routines, and regular ‘mental' practices (from meditation to faith) are also common protective factors.• Women carry layered burdens. Burnout in women is amplified by gaps in health resources and disproportionate “second and third shifts” at home. Support for women requires not just empathy, but proactive help—sometimes before it's even asked for.Elizabeth Wangugi is a workplace wellness strategist, trauma-informedembodiment facilitator, and the founder of Exclusive Excursions and the NapConcert.With over 10 years of experience in event planning and organizationaltransformation, Elizabeth helps teams and leaders dismantle burnout cultureby reconnecting to the company purpose, emotional intelligence, and embodiedcare.Known as “The Business Witchdoctor,” she blends behavioral science, somaticrituals, and graceful strategy to create environments where healing and highperformance coexist.

You can start to see that you are living out a strange, larger pattern of mysterious provenance and immense creative power that's generating everything you've ever seen.Jessica Frazier is a professor of theology and religion at Trinity College, Oxford, as well as a Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Hindu studies. During her academic career, she has explored key philosophical themes across various cultures, ranging from Indian concepts of 'Being' to 20th century phenomenology.

PODCAST SHOW NOTES FORMAT Are you stuck in what feels like an emotional Groundhog Day with your teen—where the same arguments, defiance, and standoffs keep repeating? You're not alone. In this episode of Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam, I sit down with therapist and bestselling author Kati Morton to uncover why punishment-based parenting fails with teenagers and how to finally break these frustrating cycles. Kati explains that adolescence is about independence-seeking, not rebellion—and when parents try to control teens with consequences, they often fuel the very behaviors they want to stop. Instead, she offers science-backed strategies that shift the focus from control to influence, using curiosity and connection to build lasting respect and trust. From handling risky teen behaviors to creating space for authentic conversations, this episode gives you practical tools and a fresh perspective. If you're tired of repeating the same exhausting battles, this conversation will help you hit reset and start building a calmer, more connected relationship with your teen. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why punishing your teen often makes behavior worse, not better The game-changing shift from control to influence How to stay calm and use “wise mind” during heated conflicts Simple ways to spark honest conversations without forcing it
