Staff leadership might be the most overlooked skill in coaching, and one of the toughest. TJ, Sam, and Lisa explore what it takes for an assistant coach to bring value and grow, and what head coaches owe their staffs in return. Along the way they tackle why communication sits at the root of nearly every staff breakdown, why you should hire people you can "do life with," and how to correct a coach mid-practice without undermining them in front of the team. They're candid about moody staffs, owning your mistakes, and building alignment. Send us a Message.

Most coaches are wired to compete, and that ambition can either fuel a career or quietly hijack it. In this episode, TJ and Sam explore how to honor your drive without losing sight of the impact you're making today. Using Dusty May's recent press conference as a jumping-off point, they work through the difference between contentment and complacency, and how gratitude eventually opens the next door. They share from their own coaching journeys and life changes reshape priorities over time. It's a conversation to catch yourself when you're thinking more about what's next than what's in front of you.Show Notes:Ambition helps or hindersDusty May's telling press conferenceImpact over climbing laddersWhich economy are you focused onWrong ladder, wrong roofContent is not complacentBe great where you're atGratitudeShifting prioritiesExperience and humilityLiving the dreamToday's opportunitiesHigh standards fuel transformationGetting the next door to openSend us a Message.

What if the post you almost didn't publish ended up making you more money than your viral reel ever could? In this episode, Emma challenges one of the biggest misconceptions in social media marketing: that more views automatically means more sales. Viral content is great for visibility, but attention alone doesn't generate revenue. Sustainable growth comes from creating content that builds trust, attracts the right audience, and inspires action. You'll learn the critical difference between vanity metrics and conversion metrics, why entertaining content serves a different purpose than sales-focused content, and how to evaluate whether your marketing is actually moving people closer to becoming customers. If you've ever wondered why high-performing content isn't translating into sales, this conversation will help you build long-term success and create a marketing strategy that prioritizes meaningful results over reactions. Listen in as Emma explains: Why conversion metrics matter more than views or followers The three questions every business should ask before publishing content How to create a social media strategy focused on long-term growth And much, much more!
Elder Drew Howard opened Week 7 of "Ruach to Pneuma" by drawing a careful distinction that builds on last week: being indwelled by the Holy Spirit and being filled with Him are not the same thing. Indwelling, he explained from Ephesians 1:13, is the seal every believer receives at salvation, permanent, unconditional, and positional. Filling, from Ephesians 5:18, is His influence, and it is repeatable, conditional, and experiential, rising and falling with our response to Him. Working through the account of the ark of God in First and Second Samuel, Drew showed both the warning and the way. Israel first treated the ark as a good luck charm, carrying it into battle to force God's hand, and the result was disaster, defeat, the ark captured, and a child named Ichabod, "the glory has departed." His first warning landed there: God is not a genie in a bottle or a Santa Claus, and we must never use Him as a token to get what we want. Then, tracing David's life, Drew drew out five marks of a Spirit-filled life. Live out the calling God has given you, using your gifts for His glory. Inquire of the Lord and seek His will rather than your own. Seek your answers in the Word and live according to it, as David learned when moving the ark carelessly brought death and moving it God's way brought blessing. Sing songs of praise that fill the heart, as David danced before the Lord with all his might. And own it, be unashamed of being filled with the Spirit, even under the contemptuous gaze of David's wife Michal. Drew was honest that being filled can look a little crazy to a watching world, a Bible open on your desk at work, a mission trip instead of a vacation, and that this is exactly the point. He closed with a final warning drawn from Michal: be careful how you judge others who are worshiping in the Spirit.
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga Pull up a chair and let's talk about something I've been exploring lately. It's the “depth of inquiry” that steers a nice essay into a memorable story. That sounds a bit academic, right? But here on Front Porch Friday© what it really means is the difference between just surviving your life, and actually understanding the truth of what you've lived through. Too often, as women, we get into the habit of just reporting the facts. We tell our stories like a laundry list of events. "I raised the kids, I worked the job, I did what was expected, and now I'm here." There's no story magic because you are missing. We do the same thing when we speak out loud to the world—we say what's polite, or what keeps the peace, instead of saying what we actually mean. Think about a moment where you had to say a hard "no" to someone, or maybe you finally picked up a hobby you abandoned years ago. The surface story is simple: "I was too busy for another commitment," or "I just wanted a new creative project." But looking deeper we feel the memorable story. The truth is more than protecting your calendar or buying art supplies; you realized that your time and your passions don't belong to everyone else anymore. You decided that you are finally ready to be seen and heard exactly as you are, without adapting yourself so others feel comfortable. That shift right there? That is “depth of inquiry.” It's stopping the report and starting the investigation, the exciting archeological dig on your life. Story Prompt: As you go about your day, take a deep look past the surface of your own daily routine as if gazing into a wishing well. Don't just report the facts of your life to yourself. Find the glimmering coins of a deeper truth under the surface; write that story and share it out loud! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, please subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Send Jay comments via textUnraveling the Hidden Scarcity Paradigm to Build a True Second Act.On the outside, high-achieving professionals often appear to have everything figured out: successful careers, strong incomes, and polished lives. On the inside, many quietly carry a heavy load of secret shame, perfectionism, and deep anxiety around money or past financial mistakes that stall their next move. Debbie Movsesian—a 20-year cardiology physician assistant turned transformative mind-body coach—joins Jay Ramsden to talk about what happens when you're ready to retire your old role without decommissioning your drive, and how deep-seated patterns keep high-capacity people from stepping into what's next.In this honest, peer-to-peer conversation, Debbie shares her journey from feeling unfulfilled in traditional Western medicine to facing a major financial trauma that forced her to examine her own relationship with scarcity. She breaks down how our early "snow globe paradigms"—the unexamined beliefs about money, achievement, and security formed in childhood—run on autopilot and quietly limit what we believe is possible for our second act. Debbie introduces her Mind-Body Liberation approach, showing how simple somatic tools like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping) calm a hyper-vigilant nervous system, release old guilt, and create the internal space needed to launch a meaningful second-act project grounded in genuine joy rather than relentless pressure.Strategic Highlights:Retiring the Role, Not the Drive: How to redirect high-performance energy into a second act without carrying over old burnout.The Snow Globe Effect: How invisible childhood money beliefs dictate your adult decisions and career shifts.Releasing Secret Shame: Overcoming the fear of failure, financial mistakes, and the pressure to look "perfect."Somatic Nervous System Reset: Using tapping and body awareness to shift out of fight-or-flight decision-making into Second-Act clarity.Debbie Movsesian Bio (Learn More): Debbie Movsesian is a cardiology physician assistant turned mind-body transformation coach.

Send Jay comments via textThe Internal Renovation: Managing the Collision of Hormonal Chaos and the Empty Nest.When the demanding logistics of raising children suddenly clear out of your house, the quiet that follows can be interrupted by a different kind of storm. One in ten women are currently leaving the workforce at the absolute peak of their careers because perimenopause and menopause are misunderstood, ignored, or treated as entirely private failures. Lisa Boate—founder of Liberated Menopause and host of the Transforming 45 podcast—joins Jay Ramsden to break down the physical, emotional, and systemic realities of what happens when hormone shifts collide with career peaks, aging parents, and an empty home.In this deeply candid, jargon-free conversation, Lisa frames perimenopause not as a deficit, but as a mirror of puberty in reverse—a phase of internal chaos where fluctuating hormones cause the body's communication systems to misfire. We move far beyond hot flashes to address the lived realities of deep brain fog, word-recall issues, sleep disruption, and musculoskeletal symptoms like frozen shoulder. Lisa offers practical relationship tools like the "Helped, Heard, or Hugged" framework to help couples move past legacy logistical scripts and navigate times when emotional energy is highly expensive—a message specifically critical for husbands and partners looking to understand the convergence of these midlife storms without trying to "fix" them. Learn how to transition from feeling invisible to reclaiming your sovereignty, how to utilize targeted preventative foundations like her signature assessment, and how to arrive completely prepared to advocate for your health at your next doctor's visit using structured clinical data.

Was De'Aaron Fox's blocked layup at the end of Game 4 a bad decision, or are we all just being couch coaches with the benefit of slow-motion replay? Sam and TJ use that exact moment — plus the late double team on Brunson and San Antonio's third-quarter three-point barrage — to dig into one of the most debated topics in coaching: how much time should you actually spend on situational basketball? They get into building "non-timeout calls" to change the flow of a game, why shot selection (not just execution) wins and loses close games, and why coaching your own emotional response might matter more than any late-game playbook. Whether you're running a youth program or a college staff, this episode will change how you think about practice planning for crunch time.Show Notes:De'Aaron Fox's blocked layup decisionCouch coaching vs. real-time decisionsThe Spurs' 29-point collapseShot selection during big runsDoubling Brunson late in the gameBoxing out and rebounding assignmentsHow much to script end-of-game situationsBuilding non-timeout calls to shift momentumCoaching player mindset under pressureCoaching your own emotional regulationProcess-oriented vs. results-oriented coachingKnowing your team's late-game identityPGC Courtside Coaching Clinic announcementSend us a Message.

Send Jay comments via textThe Invisible Graduate: Navigating the Automated Black Hole of the Modern Job Market.Watching your adult child return home with a great degree, a high GPA, and a stack of completed internships—only to face months of total silence from employers—is one of the most unexpected stressors of the empty nest season. The immediate, well-meaning instinct for most parents is to tell them to "just apply more" or "start networking." Career strategist and founder of Grads Hired, Debra Shaw, joins Jay Ramsden to expose why these generic numbers games backfire completely, driving motivated young adults straight into deep job-search burnout and leaving them stuck in their childhood bedrooms.In this clear, practical conversation, Debra breaks down how the hiring landscape has fundamentally changed from the days of physical resumes and local drop-offs. Today, easy-apply portals function as automated black holes controlled by applicant tracking systems that look for specific metric-driven accomplishments rather than basic job duties. Debra shares tactical counter-strategies to make grads humanly visible again, including how to leverage low-hanging alumni networks on LinkedIn without the "ick," how to comment surgically on a hiring manager's projects, and why targeting small businesses often prevents the massive corporate layoff cycle. Learn how to pivot your own relationship from an exhausted, nagging enforcer into a supportive advisor, why first jobs require baseline momentum over a perfect "passion," and how to help your adult child confidently walk through the professional doors you open for them.Strategic Highlights:The "Apply More" Illusion: Why spamming automated application buttons destroys a graduate's confidence and creates artificial barriers.Resumes That Show Proof: How rewriting restaurant or entry-level experience to feature distinct metrics changes the ROI on an application tracking scan.The Intergenerational Communication Gap: Navigating Gen Z's soft-skill deficits, from professional email architecture to reading workplace social cues.The 12-to-18-Month Rule: Why modern career paths reward fast tracking and early momentum over legacy long-term corporate loyalty.

One of the most downloaded episodes in Health Confidential history is back.For decades, we've been told that cholesterol is one of the primary causes of heart disease and that lowering it is the key to protecting our hearts.But what if the story isn't that simple?In this episode of Health Confidential, I sit down with Dr. Stephen Hussey—chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, author, and heart attack survivor—to explore the assumptions many of us have accepted about cholesterol, heart disease, inflammation, and cardiovascular health.After experiencing a heart attack himself, Dr. Hussey began questioning many of the ideas he had been taught about the heart and what truly drives cardiovascular disease. What followed was a journey that challenged conventional thinking and led him to a very different understanding of heart health.In this conversation, we discuss:• The cholesterol myth and why it remains so controversial• Why healthy people can still suffer heart attacks• The role of inflammation and metabolism in cardiovascular disease• What Dr. Hussey learned after his own heart attack• Why questioning assumptions in medicine matters• A different perspective on how the heart functionsWhether you're concerned about your cholesterol, have been prescribed a statin, or simply want to understand heart health from a different perspective, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.Connect with Dr. Stephen HusseyWebsite: https://resourceyourhealth.comInstagram: @drstephenhusseBooks: Book LinksConnect with Simone GisondiInstagram: @simone.gisondiWebsite: https://www.simonegisondi.com/If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the show, leave a rating and review, and share this conversation with someone who has ever been told their cholesterol is “too high.”⸻Disclaimer: This podcast is intended to encourage education, critical thinking, and informed conversations about health.

Always consult your healthcare practitioner before making any health-related decisions. In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi sits down with MJ Renshaw, founder of The Being Method, somatic breathwork educator, bestselling author, and mentor, to explore how breath can become one of the most powerful tools for healing, transformation, and self-discovery.Drawing from her background in philosophy, osteopathy, and breathwork, MJ shares her deeply personal journey through loss, trauma, emotional suppression, and chronic stress, and how discovering breathwork transformed her relationship with her body, mind, and spirit. Together, Simone and MJ discuss the profound connection between breathing patterns, nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, and overall health.The conversation explores how common habits such as mouth breathing and chronic hyperventilation may contribute to stress, anxiety, and illness, while also examining emerging research on breath, mitochondrial health, trauma, and longevity. Blending science with spirituality, MJ explains how conscious breathing can help release stored emotional pain, reconnect individuals with their intuition, and support deep personal healing. This inspiring discussion offers a fresh perspective on how something as simple and accessible as the breath can become a gateway to lasting transformation.KEY TAKEAWAYSMost people breathe inefficiently, often through chronic hyperventilation or mouth breathing, which may contribute to ongoing stress and nervous system dysregulation.Breathing patterns and VO₂ max are among the strongest indicators of long-term health and longevity, yet are often overlooked in conventional healthcare.Trauma may be carried not only emotionally but also within the body, and breathwork can support the release of stored stress and unresolved emotional experiences.Breathwork serves as a bridge between science and spirituality, offering practical tools for both physiological regulation and personal growth.Healing often involves emotional release, and conscious breathing can help people reconnect with themselves, access deeper awareness, and create meaningful change in their lives.BEST MOMENTS"I just became really interested in making my pain my mission.""It's not just you thinking about someone bullying you one time… at the cellular level, we can hold trauma.""There isn't a person out there who cannot be helped with breathwork.""You can read about it all you want, but you're not going to get good at it until you actually do it.""This is not just going to change your physiology and change your lineage, but it's also going to change your personality."GUEST INFORMATIONMJ Renshaw is the founder of The Being Method, a somatic breathwork educator, bestselling author, and mentor whose work bridges science and spirituality. Drawing from her backgrounds in philosophy, osteopathy, and breathwork, she helps people regulate their nervous systems, release emotional patterns, and reconnect with themselves through embodied healing.

Timothy Ward— fitness mentor, speaker, and bestselling author of The Goat Within —joins Jay Ramsden to discuss why low muscle mass and a declining VO2 max are the quietest, most dangerous health risks facing people over 50. Drawing from his own journey of turning childhood adversity into a life rooted in strength, Tim breaks down why generic, cookie-cutter gym routines fail and why "acting your age" is a fast track to physical bankruptcy.In this clear, grounded conversation, Tim introduces the Longevity Matrix — a comprehensive system that balances resistance training, nutrition, cardiovascular health, and rest.

Please follow this link to share how PsychArmor has helped you in your service journey Share PsychArmor StoriesAbout Today's GuestAmanda Noyes is the founder of Finding Freedom Therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–Supervisor with over 25 years of experience, she has had the opportunity to work in numerous crisis situations where she witnessed firsthand the gravity of trauma and grief. It was in these situations that she realized there were not enough opportunities to heal from trauma and loss after the initial crisis. With this knowledge, she formed Finding Freedom Therapy, PLLC, in 2014 with the vision of providing specialized treatment to those who have endured (or are continuing to endure) horrific traumas and unspeakable losses.After earning her degree in psychology and international studies from Texas A&M University, Amanda pursued her Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. Throughout her career, she has had the unique opportunity to gain notable hands-on experience, much of which was working in conjunction with the military, first responders, and frontline workers. She has worked alongside probation and parole officers in the field, with police officers on-scene, supported doctors and nurses in the ED and ICU departments of level-one trauma centers, counseled families of the recently deceased at the moment of loss, and worked next to the U.S. National Guard when assisting during Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, and Harvey.Amanda's experience with veterans and military service members began early in her career with her graduate internship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Hospital, and later continued with her work as lead trauma therapist for an inpatient military program, Freedom Care, where she worked with active-duty combat military and veterans suffering from PTSD. She is trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). Each and every step of her career has shaped and strengthened her ability to better assist clients through the most difficult times in their lives.Links Mentioned in this Episode Finding Freedom Therapy WebsiteDFW First Responders Support NetworkPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's resource of the week is the PsychArmor course Trauma Informed Interactions with Veterans.

TJ Rosene and Sam discuss how coaches should choose the right offensive system for their team, emphasizing that there is no single “best” offense—only the offense that best fits a team's age, skill level, personnel, developmental goals, and competitive needs. They compare different offensive approaches (from pure “hooping” to structured sets, continuity offenses, conceptual basketball, and Read & React), ultimately advocating for a balance of player freedom and structure—especially through conceptual or Read & React frameworks that develop decision-making while still supporting team success.Show Notes:Choosing the right offensive system Why one size doesn't fit all Matching offense to age and stage Balancing development and winning Evaluating your coaching style Building around your personnel Great shots drive offensive decisions Why pure hooping falls short The limits of set plays Continuity offense pros and cons Understanding conceptual basketball Read and react with structure Using rules to guide freedom Adjusting structure throughout the season Finding the right offensive balanceSend us a Message.
