Episode 2673: Dr. Lisa Hoplock explores how the misfortunes of same-gender friends, particularly those viewed as romantic rivals, can trigger feelings of schadenfreude. While this reaction may signal subconscious competition in the mating arena, the research reveals that such glee doesn't necessarily change how we view our own or others' mate value. Listeners are invited to reflect on what these moments of quiet satisfaction might reveal about their own insecurities and social comparisons. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.luvze.com/happiness-at-the-misfortune-of-mate-rivals/ Quotes to ponder: "It's common to laugh at someone's slight misfortune, and we're more likely to do it when it happens to a same-gender friend than an opposite-gender friend." "Participants felt greater happiness at the misfortune of same-gender friends than they did for opposite-gender friends." "Even though women experienced more schadenfreude after imagining that their friend gained 15 pounds, they didn't rate themselves as having a higher mate value than their friend in this scenario."

Today's episode is Pastor Skylar Smit's Workshop from Heart Conference 2025 on how to overcome insecurity in Christ. 

“You will grow more by helping the people in your tribe.”  Confidence doesn't begin with how others see you—it begins with how you decide to see yourself. Insecurity, fear, and self-doubt may be part of the human experience, but they don't have to define your leadership. The path to powerful presence starts with internal clarity: vision, values, and daily actions that reflect who you really are.  Jaclyn Strominger built her leadership style from a painful, personal origin—years of feeling “painfully insecure” and overlooked. But instead of folding, she turned inward, found her voice, and teaches others to lead with heart and mission. Her energy, she says, is now her superpower. “The vibe attracts your tribe.”  Jaclyn Strominger is a leadership coach, speaker, and co-author of Charting True North, a workbook to help leaders clarify vision and purpose. She works with companies between 5 and 50 employees, guiding them to lead with purpose, emotional intelligence, and contagious confidence.  Expert action steps:  Write out your vision statement.    Make sure you have your top six key values that you want to live by and have your company and your team live by.    Look at your calendar every day and put on your calendar all the things that matter. That includes your family, working out, make sure that there's time in there for you.   Learn more & connect:  https://jaclynstrominger.com/  Book: Charting True North: The CEO's Guide to Authentistic Leadership  https://a.co/d/asWLFbW Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

On July 4th, President Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” into law. The bill cuts trillions of dollars in taxes, and allocates hundreds of billions in new spending. To offset all of this, it calls for over a trillion dollars in cuts to a range of domestic programs. On this episode, Dan Richards spoke with two experts from the Watson School about the bill: How it will shape American society, what its passage says about the Republican Party, and the role it might play in the 2026 midterms and beyond. Guests on this episode: Eric Patashnik is a professor of public policy and political science and author, most recently, of “Countermobilization: Policy Feedback and Backlash in a Polarized Age.”Margaret Weir is a political scientist, professor of international and public affairs and political science, and co-editor, most recently, of the 2021 book “Who Gets What? The New Politics of Insecurity.” Transcript coming soon to our website

In the city of Jos, Plateau State, a tragic incident shook a family to its core: young Sadiq Karafa was allegedly killed by security personnel. His brother, Aliyu Karafa, embarked on a quest for justice, but four years later, the outcome is disheartening: no arrests, no compensation, and a deafening silence from the authorities. The question lingers: Is justice truly being served in Nigeria? In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we investigate the systemic failures and explore the human cost of impunity. In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we ask: Is justice truly being served in Nigeria?

In this episode of the I Love Coaching Podcast, Adam Roach and Jess Webber explore the complex relationship between self-worth and pricing in business. They discuss how many individuals tie their identity and value to their job titles and salaries, leading to insecurities when it comes to setting prices. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding that worth is not for sale, but rather the value of the product or service being offered. They challenge the myth of linear growth, advocating for an exponential mindset that allows for greater opportunities and success. The hosts also address common fears and guilt associated with charging higher prices, encouraging listeners to recognize their value and the importance of pricing for transformation. TakeawaysCharging what you're worth can limit your potential.Your worth is not for sale; your product is.Insecurity often ties to identity and job title.Linear growth is a limiting mindset.Exponential growth requires a shift in thinking.Higher prices signal higher quality to the market.Fear and guilt can prevent you from charging more.The transformation happens at the transaction.You are the gatekeeper of your pricing.Lower prices can repel potential clients.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Connection01:43 Understanding Worth and Pricing09:35 The Myth of Linear Growth17:30 Overcoming Insecurity, Fear, and Guilt29:05 Conclusion and Call to Action

EPISODE 71 Comparison. Jealousy. Insecurity. We are all guilty of these at some point or another in our lives. But thankfully, we serve an abundant God. And just because someone is successful, that doesn't mean you can't be too. That should be what fills your mind. Because you become what you fill your mind with. Fill your mind with the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control. Surround yourself with others who encourage you and make you feel like you can change the world. Because you can!This week, I challenge you to encourage another woman. Encourage her if she inspires you or if she is intimidating you. Encourage her even when you want to add a “me too” during your discussion. Sometimes it's better to just listen and say, “I'm proud of you. You are doing a great job!” Just try it and see how it can change both of your days!This episode is for you if:You are ready to stop the cycle of comparisonYou want to build a circle of women who build each other upYou want to become the positive influence your kids need You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.Other episodes mentioned:Episode 70: Your Future Self Is Watching - Make Her Proud TodayConnect with Jen:On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jens.get.fit.group/On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jens.get.fit.group/Check out or join Jen's Get Fit Group - http://jensgetfitgroup.comSubscribe to my newsletter “Behind the Weights” - https://jensgetfitgroup.com/subscribe-to-behind-the-weightsSHOW NOTES: https://jensgetfitgroup.com/episode71

Want to submit an episode topic request? Text 'em here!After a 2-week break of the God-Empowered Entrepreneur Podcast, we are back with a heartfelt, much-needed conversation we need to have. Are you feeling burnt out but afraid to slow down? In this episode, I'm sharing 3 mindset shifts that helped me break free from hustle mode, rebuild trust in God over my grind, and find peace without losing progress. I had a moment recently where I finally admitted something that I think a lot of us feel deep down but rarely say out loud: "I need to slow down."But right after that thought came the usual flood of reasons why I couldn't slow down: too much to do, too many people counting on me, A business to build, goals I still haven't hit, and honestly...fear of falling behind.Maybe you've felt that too.In today's episode, I'm opening up about a conversation I had with God that completely checked my heart. He showed me something I didn't even realize I was doing: Trusting my hustle more than I was trusting Him.Whew.We're talking honestly about what that looks like, how it sneaks into our daily lives, and the quiet burnout it creates in our spirit...even when we're "doing good things."Inside this episode, I'm sharing 3 specific mindset shifts we can work on to:

Send us a textWe explore ambivalent attachment, where caregivers' anxiety and overprotection create uncertainty in children, preventing them from developing confidence and decision-making skills. This parenting approach, often seen in helicopter parenting, stems from good intentions but teaches children the world is unsafe.• Ambivalent attachment develops when caregivers are anxious, overwhelmed or uncertain in their responses to children• Children with this attachment style appear visibly anxious and often look to caregivers before making decisions• These children develop internal beliefs that they are unsure, others are confusing, and the world is unsafe• Helicopter parenting prevents children from experiencing necessary stressors that build resilience• Children need "predictable, moderate, and controllable" stress to develop confidence• Creating opportunities for safe failure helps children learn to navigate challenges independently• Parents should focus on developing self-awareness about their own anxiety triggers• Ambivalently attached children may be more vulnerable to peer pressure and substance abuse as adolescents• Adults with ambivalent attachment often struggle with decision-making and may seek controlling relationships• Healing involves consistent caregiving, creating opportunities for building confidence, and gradually increasing stress toleranceJoin us next week as we discuss disorganized attachment.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

President Noboa's victory in Ecuador seems to have owed a huge amount to his sweeping crackdown on organised crime, which has seen the military permanently mobilised against gangs. Insecurity is repeatedly identified as voters' main concern. Can Noboa deliver? It's clear that Noboa stands and falls on security and voters gave him the benefit of the doubt that he needed more time and that his rival González would be too soft on crime. But, he has to deliver on this as well as addressing an increasingly fraught situation due to massive energy outages, the state of economy and keeping the all-important indigenous voters onside. On The LatinNews Podcast this week, we hear from Walter Spurrier in Guayaquil. Spurrier is the president of Grupo Spurrier, a columnist for the Diario El Universo newspaper, and the director of the political economic publication Analisis Semanal or Weekly Analysis.  Follow LatinNews for analysis on economic, political, and security developments in Latin America & the Caribbean.

Welcome to Relationship Truth: Unfiltered, where we bring truth with love to the tough topics of emotionally destructive relationships. In today's special Coaches Takeover episode, Leslie Vernick team coaches Diana Bala and Susan King dive into people-pleasing, insecurity, and the transformative path toward freedom in Christ. We're fresh off our 5-Day Insecurity Coaching Challenge—and in this conversation, we're going even deeper. In This Episode: A recap of the 5-Day Insecurity Challenge: Self-doubt Shame and guilt Perfectionism The inner critic People-pleasing Highlights from the week: Women developing hope beyond shame and guilt Experiencing Scripture in new, life-giving ways Recognizing the hidden faces of insecurity Key Insight: The Many Masquerades of Insecurity Diana and Susan unpack the ways insecurity often masquerades as something good—but at a cost: ✅ Kindness Saying yes to everything, avoiding conflict Underneath: fear of rejection, desire to be liked Truth: Kindness includes boundaries ✅ Humility Downplaying strengths, deflecting compliments Underneath: fear of being judged, imposter syndrome Truth: Humility is not shrinking ✅ Responsibility Overfunctioning, taking on others' problems Underneath: need to feel needed Truth: Healthy responsibility knows what is yours and what is not ✅ Peacemaking Avoiding hard conversations, keeping silent Underneath: fear of conflict Truth: Real peacemaking requires courage and truth ✅ Flexibility Always going along, hiding preferences Underneath: belief your needs don't matter Truth: Flexibility shouldn't erase you Why Do We People-Please? To avoid conflict, rejection, or feeling like a burden It often begins in childhood: Conditional love or safety Messages like “Be a good girl,” “Don't upset your father” Approval as currency for worth How Do We Transform? Change your inner narrative: “I must earn love” ➜ “I am already worthy.” Embrace agency, reclaim your God-given identity, and practice compassion for the part of you that learned to survive by pleasing.

In the third part of our series on caring for insecurity, we are reminded that the awareness of your insecurity feelings is a vital first step. Can you see the areas in your life where you most often feel insecure? When these feelings arise they often manifest as a general feeling of uneasiness and discontentment in our life. When you recognize this unwelcome feeling, look at what your response is to it. Do you see it as an uninvited guest? Do you treat it like a friend or foe? Robert helps us learn the importance of recognizing our own specific feelings of insecurity so we can learn to better respond to them.    To further explore the resources available to you at Awareness That Heals, visit: • Awareness That Heals Blog at AwarenessThatHeals.org: https://bit.ly/ATH-Blog • Awareness That Heals Podcast at Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/ATH-Apple-Podcast • Awareness That Heals Podcast at AwarenessThatHeals.org: https://bit.ly/ATH-Podcast • Guided Meditation Series at AwarenessThatHeals.org: https://bit.ly/ATH-Guided-Meditations • The (free) Introspective Guides at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UXrsIypD95eGpY42FNIhu_HpD9x5gumT/view?usp=sharing

When George W. Bush created the PEPFAR program in 2003, it was celebrated by evangelical leaders and has saved more than 26 million lives in Africa from HIV/AIDS. So why weren't evangelicals outraged when Donald Trump killed PEPFAR, which has already resulted in over 75,000 deaths since January? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn unpack the arguments for and against PEPFAR, and how evangelical support for “small government” only applies to some programs. Then, Katilyn talks to Sharon Hodde Miller about what the self-esteem movement gets wrong about insecurity, and how we can recover the Christian virtue of service and self-forgetfulness.

Welcome to Teachback Tuesday, where you'll hear some of the most popular episodes from previous seasons. I blame the beauty queen in the waiting room. She prompted this podcast. We were talking about things in general when she suddenly inserted that she was a former beauty queen. It was such an odd insert that it confused me at first, but as I continued to listen, I heard the voice of insecurity in the background. I don't remember inviting insecurity into our conversation. Insecurity is a creepy beast that preys on our vulnerabilities. Whether we're frequently putting ourselves down or elevating ourselves on pedestals, insecurity is the driving force behind the self-absorption. There are ways we can overcome this unhelpful habit. Let's consider five suggestions in this episode.

Ever find yourself overthinking a simple text message, spiraling into anxiety, and wondering, “Why do I always do this?” Relationships—whether romantic, platonic, or professional—can trigger our deepest insecurities. But here's the good news: you can break that cycle. And in this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, we're diving deep into how.I chat with Trevor Hanson, a globally recognized coach and therapist who helps people transform anxious attachment into secure, soul-filling relationships. This dude is the real deal. After leaving a corporate career at Tesla, healing from a broken jaw, ending a toxic relationship, and overcoming his own deep insecurities, Trevor followed his passion to help others heal. Now, he teaches people around the world how to break free from the patterns holding them back—using his powerful “TEMPO” framework.In our convo, we get real about self-sabotage, emotional triggers, and those frustrating cycles of conflict we find ourselves stuck in. Trevor explains how childhood trauma and early experiences shape our beliefs about love, worthiness, and connection—and how those beliefs often lead us to repeat the same painful patterns. But most importantly, he shows us how to map those cycles, gain clarity, and change them. Here are a few game-changing nuggets from this episode:Self-sabotage isn't a flaw—it's a signal. It often stems from anxious attachment and unhealed childhood wounds.You can shift from insecurity to confidence by learning your “tempo” cycle: Trigger, Emotion, Meaning, Protection, Outcome.Healing starts by mapping emotional responses before you're in the heat of the moment. That's where clarity is born.Inner child work, visualization, and therapy can help release the old beliefs that keep you stuck.Relationships thrive when both partners take ownership and commit to their growth journey.This episode is a must-listen for anyone tired of the emotional rollercoaster and ready to build healthier, more connected relationships.

In this week's solo episode, I'm tackling a topic that comes up often for dancers: comparison.I dive deep into why comparison is a natural human instinct - rooted in evolutionary survival - and how it's especially amplified in the world of ballet, where mirrors, corrections, and casting are constant. Rather than trying to eliminate comparison, this episode is full of empowering tools to reframe it into a source of motivation, self-awareness, and growth.Key “pointes” in this episode:

In a world that equates leadership with image, influence, and results, Christian leaders face a daily temptation: to root their identity in what they do instead of who they are in Christ. In this powerful episode, we explore what it means to lead from security instead of insecurity—drawing on Paul's words in Romans 12 and the unshakable identity given to every believer in Christ. Whether you're leading a company, a ministry, a team, or your household, this message will challenge and encourage you to build your leadership on a firm foundation. Through personal reflection and biblical insight, we look at the subtle ways insecurity shows up in leadership—micromanagement, overwork, fear of feedback—and how anchoring our identity in Christ brings freedom, clarity, and resilience. Jesus didn't lead to gain approval. He led from the certainty of who He was—and we're invited to follow His example. You'll learn: How insecurity can quietly sabotage your leadership What the Bible says about your identity in Christ How to cultivate confidence without arrogance 5 practical steps to lead with spiritual security If you're tired of performing for validation or leading from fear, this episode is a roadmap to peace-filled, purpose-driven leadership rooted in Christ.

07/06/25The Healthy Matters PodcastS04_E19 - Hunger, Health, and Hope: Tackling Food InsecurityWith Special Guests:  Dr. Dianna Cutts, MD, and Amy HarrisIt's pretty hard to concentrate, work, or pretty much do anything while you're hungry.  And while, for many of us, hunger is a passing moment, there are far too many children and adults living with this as a daily reality.  Food insecurity extends well beyond the physical effects of being hungry.  It can be a major stressor on the daily lives of kids in school, their parents, and our society as a whole.  Hunger, the world over, is a critical issue, and in our first-world, modern American society, this definitely merits a deeper look.On this episode of our show, we'll dig into the complexities of it with the help of two special guests from Hennepin Healthcare. Dr. Diana Cutts is the Chair of Pediatrics and a nationally recognized leader on the subject, and Amy Harris is the Population Health Program Director and a champion of building healthier communities.  We'll go over everything from the impacts food insecurity has on both children and parents, and how those effects play out in our society as a whole.  We'll also talk about the stress it causes on families, the importance of bringing it to the fore in a clinical setting, and what can be done to help at an individual, community, state, and even national level.  Food and nutrition are essential for human survival, so it's safe to say food security is essential for the survival of our society.  We hope you'll join us.We're open to your comments or ideas for future shows!Email - healthymatters@hcmed.orgCall - 612-873-TALK (8255)Here are some links to organizations that make a difference if you want to see how you can help:Feeding America: MNSecond Harvest HeartlandHennepin Healthcare FoundationGet a preview of upcoming shows on social media and find out more about our show at www.healthymatters.org.

“Am I good enough?” It’s a question so many of us whisper in the quiet moments—when the lights go out, the to-do list is unfinished, and our hearts ache with the weight of not measuring up. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I’m joined by Bethany Broderick, author of Perfected: Ditching Perfection & Receiving God’s Grace in the Midst of Our Mess. In this beautiful conversation, Bethany vulnerably shares her struggle with perfectionism, insecurity, and the desperate desire to feel “enough”—for others, for herself, and even for God. We talk about: *Why the affirmations of culture and even the church sometimes fall short*The hidden ways perfectionism can shape our faith*What it means to truly rest in the finished work of Christ*How we can live in freedom, not fear If you’ve been caught in the exhausting cycle of striving—this episode is an invitation to let go. You don’t have to be good enough. You don’t have to prove yourself. Christ is enough for you. I pray this conversation gives you permission to stop striving and start resting—in the arms of the One who has already perfected you by His grace. With you in love and freedom, Rachael P.S.
