In this episode, Colleen exposes one of the most dangerous lies we tell ourselves: “Whatever. I don't care.” It's the phrase that sneaks in at the very moment you're about to follow through on what matters, pulling you back into autopilot. Habits feel easy not because they're better, but because they're familiar—and this thought is the detour sign that keeps you circling the same old roads. She shows how to catch that phrase in real time, flip it, and reconnect with your real intentions. It's not about one big breakthrough—it's about interrupting the trance again and again until your brain learns a new path forward.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEPull up, friend—this one's for the high-achieving, heart-led woman whose brilliant brain sees every angle… then stalls. We're turning overthinking from a confidence killer into a confidence catalyst. I'll show you how to catch the thought loop mid-sentence, calm your nervous system, and replace the spiral with identity-anchored Power Lines that move you forward—no perfection required.You'll learn why your mind isn't the enemy (it's an over-eager intern), how compassionate self-talk signals safety, and how choosing one clean action creates momentum you can feel. This is self-love in action: reframing the inner dialogue, regulating emotions, and practicing leadership with your thoughts so you can show up in real life—with clarity, boundaries, and Main Character Energy.By the end, you'll know exactly how to be your built-in bestie, talk to yourself like someone you trust, and proof-stack tiny wins that compound into unshakable confidence. Think calm decisions, clear communication, and aligned relationships that mirror your steady, centered presence.KEY TAKEAWAYSSPOT THE LOOP, LEAD THE MIND: Overthinking is a safety strategy, not your identity—name it, then direct it.TRUTH BOMB: What you rehearse, you request. Spirals train outcomes; Power Lines retrain them.EMPOWERING SHIFT: Self-respect beats shame—your nervous system follows your narrator.ALIGNED ACTION: Decide once, move in five minutes, log two tiny wins—confidence is evidence.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction: Your Mind Isn't the Enemy00:44 Understanding Overthinking01:23 Main Character Confidence Checklist01:50 Personal Journey: From Overthinker to Leader02:52 The Science Behind Overthinking06:32 The NICE Method: A Compassionate Approach07:02 Self-Talk: The Power of Words10:40 Practical Steps to Rewire Your Brain12:02 Boundaries and Bestie Energy21:37 Main Character Energy: Living with Confidence25:19 Conclusion: Becoming Your Own Best Friend28:03 Final Thoughts and Call to ActionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEPWhen you catch yourself second-guessing, over-explaining, people-pleasing, or letting someone else's reply decide your mood, flip this two-step. It pulls you out of performing and back into Main Character Energy, moving you from overthinking to aligned action in under two minutes. Use it before you text back out of anxiety, before an automatic yes, or whenever your peace feels negotiable. One switch and you're back in the role you already own.STEP 1 — NOTICE, NAME & NOW INTERRUPT (Presence → Power) Pause. Hand to heart. Breathe. Name the loop: approval math / all-or-nothing / catastrophic forecasting. Ask: “What am I trying to secure—certainty, control, approval, or safety?” Then give your mind a better job and do the 90-second move—send the email once, pour the water, take the walk, say the boundary.STEP 2 — CREATE YOUR POWER LINES & EVOLVE (Proof → Confidence) Speak the identity you're embodying: “As a woman who [identity], I choose [behavior] because I value [standard].” Believability ≥7?

Technology should serve us—not run us. In this direct, no-fluff conversation on Healthy Minds, Healthy Life, host Aanya speaks with Colin Corby (TEDx speaker, leadership well-being and digital detox coach) about reclaiming attention in an always-online world. We unpack how persuasive design shapes identity, why AI-assisted convenience can erode core skills, and how to build realistic off-screen habits without quitting your job or your phone. If you're ready to reduce screen time, think clearly, sleep better, and perform like a “business athlete,” this episode gives you practical, repeatable steps you can start today. About the guest : Colin Corby is a leadership well-being and digital detox coach, TEDx speaker, and creator of Digital Detox Coach. With 30+ years in technology leadership and the mindset of a four-time Ironman triathlete, he helps people and organizations set healthy, sustainable boundaries with tech. Key takeaways: Identity is shaped by experience: When most experiences are online, platforms co-shape who we become; curating ourselves and being curated by algorithms. Why this era is different: Smartphones travel with us, collect granular behavior and location data, and—paired with AI—can outsource core skills if unchecked. Digital detox = balance, not escape: Think “get out of the sweet shop” briefly and often—micro-breaks (20 seconds), 10–15 minute offline blocks, device-free evenings/weekends. Environment beats willpower: Change rooms, remove device triggers, set time barriers (no phone before morning routine, cutoff at night), and solve the alarm-clock problem. Habit mechanics: Interrupt old loops and build new ones; expect ~66 days on average for a habit to stick—track, iterate, and be kind to yourself when you slip. Business-athlete mindset: Sleep, nutrition, coaching, and deliberate practice apply to digital well-being just like endurance training. “Just One Thing” challenge: Each time you pick up your phone, do only one pre-planned task, then wait 5–10 minutes—powerful for breaking autopilot app-hopping. Future-proof your brain: Don't outsource all thinking to tools; keep building knowledge and critical-thinking muscles to stay adaptable and valuable at work. Make real life rewarding: Plan enjoyable offline activities (meals, movement, hobbies) so you're not “detoxing into boredom.” Connect with the guest Explore Colin's resources, videos, and TEDx talk via the Digital Detox Coach website and YouTube channel.

You're not exhausted because you lack discipline; you're exhausted because your worth has been wired to your output, your utility, your availability. In this episode, I expose the core fracture that no “productivity hack” or self-care checklist can touch: the buried belief that rest is only for the unneeded, the unworthy, the lazy. Let's tell the raw truth: You don't just overcommit, you've made proving your value a full-time job. You apologize for resting, fill any silence with more tasks, and confuse exhaustion with excellence. You don't know how to stop, because stopping feels like disappearing. This isn't self-help cheerleading. This is strategic rewiring. Here's how we break the old circuitry: Spot the costly story running your life, and trace its toxic influence on your body, peace, and relationships.Interrupt the reflex to over-function by asking: Is this real strength, or is it anxiety wearing a mask?Shift from survival autopilot to conscious leadership of your own wellbeing, by recognizing that rest is not an indulgence, but wisdom in action. If you're seeking comfort, not clarity, this episode isn't for you. But if you're ready to stop living as a resource and start leading from internal authority, this is your moment. Hit subscribe, connect, and take the first step: notice, name, and reclaim your own rhythm. The reset starts here. [00:00] The truth about burnout & the belief you're not enough [02:30] Identifying patterns of overworking [05:10] Why rest isn't weakness, it's wisdom [08:00] The real cost of constant productivity
Send us a textWhen a partner says they need space, most of us freeze, wait, and hope, until reality lands like a punch in the gut. In this episode, Staci, Tom, and Brooke unpack the “default option”: the unconscious choices (shutting down, chasing, over-explaining, policing “boundaries”) that slowly erode connection. You'll learn why love isn't the problem, missing skills are, and how simple, repeatable practices (regulating your body, translating feelings into words, reaching for repair) interrupt panic and create safety. We walk through a real couple's story (Mark & Maggie) to show the shift from defensiveness to steady reconnection, and we introduce Action-Reward Pricing for the 30-Day Roadmap, built to get you out of limbo now, not “someday.” Plus: a playful “Default Flip Interrupt” you can try today, and the Song of the Week to get you moving when anxiety pins you down.Key TakeawaysThe “default option” = waiting, pretending, spiraling, and silent drift. It chooses you when you don't choose skills.Love isn't broken; the missing pieces are conflict skills, emotional regulation, repair, and agreements.Regulation first, words second: calm your body before you speak (or you'll weaponize your words).Consistency builds trust; wobbling between calm and chaos erodes it.Tiny, repeatable moves, nervous system resets, clear asks, humble repair, change the day-to-day.Timestamps: 03:50 The Impact of Avoidance and Miscommunication07:37 The Importance of Relationship Skills12:31 A Real-Life Example: Mark and Maggie18:24 Steps to Interrupt the Default Option23:07 The 30-Day Roadmap to Relationship Skills25:23 Special Offer and Pricing Strategy32:14 Humor and Exaggeration to Break Patterns37:32 Closing Thoughts and ResourcesResources MentionedTake the Quiz (free): https://space-assessment.scoreapp.com/Love in Limbo: 30-Day Roadmap: daily practice, coaching, and community to steady yourself and rebuild connection.

It's Thursday, September 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Sudanese police interrupt funeral service to arrest 5 Christians Police in Sudan disrupted a funeral prayer meeting last month to arrest five Christians. The Christians are South Sudanese. Police have been targeting Ethiopian and South Sudanese nationals for deportation as civil war rages in Sudan. Muslim extremists in the country are also calling for officials to arrest South Sudanese Christians in particular. A local church leader told Morning Star News, “There is a growing fear among the South Sudanese Christians. So, they remain indoors in order to avoid being arrested.” Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Sudan. The Northeast African nation is ranked fifth on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian. Sudanese landslide killed 1,000 people Speaking of Sudan, the country suffered one of its worst natural disasters in recent history. On Sunday, a landslide wiped out the village of Tarasin in the western region of Darfur. Only one person survived, leaving an estimated 1,000 people dead. The landslide came after weeks of heavy rainfall in the mountainous region. Getting aid to the area is already difficult due to the ongoing civil war. In recent years, Sudan's conflict has generated what is considered the world's largest humanitarian crisis. 25.9 million digital Bible downloads in 2024 The United Bible Societies Fellowship reached 240 countries and territories with millions of copies of the Bible last year. The Fellowship of Bible Societies facilitated 25.9 million digital Bible downloads in 2024. This outpaced full Bible printings for the first time. The fellowship distributed 22.5 million printed Bibles last year. It also distributed 8.6 million printed New Testaments and over 118 million printed portions of Scripture. Brazil led the way in printed and digital distribution, followed by India, China, Nigeria, and the Philippines. Brazilian homeschool mom lost her case in court Earlier this week, a Brazilian court heard a case of a mom prosecuted for homeschooling her son. Regiane Cichelero was facing fines of $20,000 and threats of losing custody of her child, for daring to choose home education on religious grounds. Alliance Defending Freedom International has taken up the case. Her legal counsel, Julio Pohl, points out that “No parent should fear state punishment for choosing to homeschool their child. Regiane made a lawful and conscientious decision to teach her son at home. We are hopeful that the court will affirm her rights and take an important step toward protecting parental rights in Brazil.” Sadly, Cichelero lost the case. She was ordered to re-enroll her child in Brazilian public school and ordered to pay the equivalent of $20,000 for not complying. She said, “We will take the case to the Supreme Federal Court and from there, if we continue to receive a ‘no,' we will take it to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.” She had a special message for the Christian homeschoolers who have been praying for her. Cichelero said, “To you who prayed, my sincere thanks. Remember, prayers never return empty. The Lord is sovereign over all things. The Lord has called us for this time, for this cause, for this moment. We are writing history. … He is still the God who controls everything. He has not abandoned us!” US military strike kills 11 Venezuelan terrorists in boat with narcotics The United States conducted a military strike on Tuesday on a drug boat from Venezuela. On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States. The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action.” Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “On the boat, you had massive amounts of drugs. We have tapes of them speaking. It was massive amounts of drugs coming into our country to kill a lot of people. Everybody fully understands that. In fact, you see it, you see the bags of drugs all over the boat. And they were hit obviously. They won't be doing it again. And I think a lot of other people won't be doing it again when they watch that tape. We have to protect our country, and we're going to.” President Trump said the terrorists belonged to Tren de Aragua. The Venezuelan gang is responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence. Trump supports Christian pregnancy centers The Trump administration is supporting Christian pregnancy centers in New Jersey in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. First Choice Women's Resource Centers is challenging New Jersey's unconstitutional investigation into its operations. Erin Hawley, Senior Counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “New Jersey's attorney general is targeting First Choice—a ministry that provides parenting classes, free ultrasounds, baby clothes, and more to its community—simply because of its pro-life views. The Constitution protects First Choice and its donors from demands by a hostile state official to disclose their identities.” 50% of Congress are people of Biblical principle The Christian Employers Alliance released their new report card on U.S. Congressional leaders. The index scores lawmakers on a 0-to-100 scale based on their alignment with Biblical principles. Republicans tended to score better than Democrats. Of the 535 members of Congress, half scored 50% or better. Margaret Luculano is the president of the Christian Employers Alliance. She told the Washington Examiner, “Our faith is the foundation of how we live and lead, and lawmakers need that same compass as they face complex policies. That's why we launched the Biblical Business Index — a first-of-its-kind tool bringing together theologians and policy experts to connect Scripture with today's legislation.” Wisdom says in Proverbs 8:15, “By me kings reign, and rulers decree justice.” Gen Z & Millennials attend church more often than older Americans And finally, the Barna Group released new research from its ongoing State of the Church initiative. The report found Christians from younger generations are attending church more frequently than before. They also attend more often than Christians from older generations. Churchgoers from Gen Z attend 1.9 times per month, while Millennials attend 1.8 times per month. The average for U.S. churched adults is 1.6 per month. Also, Gen Z and Millennial churchgoers attend nearly twice as much as they did in 2020. Psalm 122:1 says, “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 4th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

In this episode, Dr. Leelo Bush addresses the hidden power of excuses, showing how they silently derail our God-given potential. She explains the neuroscience behind excuse-making, the difference between boundaries and excuses, and how to dismantle these mental barriers through ownership. With scriptural encouragement from Philippians 4:13 and 2 Timothy 1:7, listeners are guided toward living a life aligned with their calling—excuse-free. What You'll Learn How to recognize the subtle language of excuses Why excuses feel justified and the brain science behind them The difference between boundaries and excuses How to replace “I can't” with ownership statements Practical strategies to retrain your mind toward courage and action Scriptural truths to overcome fear and avoidance Quotable Moment “Ownership is the difference between a life lived by default and a life lived by design.” Scriptures Mentioned Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Proverbs 26:13 – “The sluggard says, ‘There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets.'” 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.” Resources Professional Christian Coaching and Counseling Academy: PCCCA.org/courses Private Facebook group: Courageous Christian Coaching Tribe Transcript Let's be honest. Making excuses can be cringeworthy. It's awkward for the person saying it and just as uncomfortable for the person hearing it—especially when we both know better. Yet we still do it, wrapping fear or procrastination in pretty words and hoping no one notices. It's been a while, but I've done it. How about you? Today we're going to pull back the curtain, audit those excuses, and replace them with ownership, because nothing feels better than living aligned with your calling—excuse free. Welcome to the Christian Coaching School podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Leelo Bush. I'm a master coach, author, curriculum creator, and the number one authority on Spirit-led Christian coaching. I've trained tens of thousands worldwide since 2003. And if you are ready to up-level your skills, find greater fulfillment, and employ the most powerful coaching available to mankind—let's go. Welcome back. I'm Dr. Leelo Bush, and today we're cutting through the "can't because" clutter. I've trained and certified thousands of coaches worldwide over the last 22 years, and as a result, I have watched many people rise to great heights. But unfortunately, too many people with God-given potential stay stuck because of a handful of worn-out excuses. Entering a new school year, I thought the timing of this episode would be perfect if you are stuck with excuses. We will do an audit and end their bondage today. Excuses look harmless, but they are silent dream killers. They feel justified. They can sound logical and keep you stuck. Today we're going to expose them, dismantle them, and replace them with unstoppable ownership. Since school is back in session, it's your turn. If you've been feeling the nudge to step into your calling as a Christian life coach, counselor, or specialty coach, the Professional Christian Coaching and Counseling Academy—otherwise lovingly called PCCCA—has world-class training for you to help you get there. I encourage you to visit PCCCA.org/courses where you will find all the details, because the future you are praying for isn't going to build itself. Excuses are not harmless. They quietly chip away at your confidence. They limit your opportunities and shrink the vision that God has placed in your heart. An explanation tells the truth and points toward a solution. An excuse stops the conversation, locks the door, and throws away the key. The cost of excuse-making is massive. You lose opportunities you can't get back. You delay callings God already equipped you to fulfill. And you settle for a smaller life than the one you were created to live. Here's the dangerous part: most excuses feel justified. You're tired. You've been hurt. You don't have time, money, or support. But when you stop there, you have given the excuse the final word. Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” If Christ is your strength, the excuse has no authority. I remember when my daughter was in elementary school and taking ballet classes. She was really talented, and the teacher gave her solo lessons to do a solo dance in the recital. But she was terrified. When we talked about it, we decided that whenever she felt afraid, she would repeat, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” And to this day, if she feels unsure about moving forward, she goes back to that scripture. We all get those feelings, but the Word has power—not because of who says it, but because it is the Word of God. We have to remember that excuses have a language, and once we recognize it, we will hear it everywhere. “I'm too busy.” “I'm not ready.” “I'm waiting for the right time.” Those can sound harmless, but they are all code for avoiding action. Look for patterns. Do you use the same excuse in your health, relationships, finances, or spiritual growth? If so, it's not circumstantial—it's habitual. Proverbs 26:13 says, “The sluggard says, ‘There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets.'” Excuses are just imaginary lions keeping us from moving forward. But what's beneath the excuse? Excuses don't live in our words—they live in the mind and heart, wired into the brain. Every excuse we make is really a protective response from our nervous system, rooted in emotion. At the core, excuses are survival tools—the brain's way of avoiding perceived threats to our safety, identity, or sense of belonging. When you're faced with a challenge that feels overwhelming, the amygdala—the part of your brain constantly scanning for danger—lights up like a warning siren. Its job is to keep you safe, but sometimes it overreacts. It doesn't know the difference between stepping onto a stage to share your testimony and stepping in front of a hungry lion. It just says “danger” and looks for the fastest escape route. That's where excuses are born. The brain then recruits the prefrontal cortex, our reasoning center. But when you're stressed or anxious, your prefrontal cortex gets hijacked. Instead of helping you move forward, it starts manufacturing logical-sounding reasons to avoid the risk. And because those reasons sound rational, you accept them without question. This is why excuses often feel justified—they are supported by your brain's best lawyer, even when built on fear, not fact. Your brain's default wiring has three goals: avoid pain, increase pleasure, and conserve energy. This was useful when survival meant escaping predators and finding food. But in modern life, that wiring resists discomfort, challenge, or the unfamiliar—even when those lead to growth. Then there's your identity network—the deep wiring of beliefs about who you are and what's possible for you. If your internal story says, “I'm not the kind of person who succeeds at this,” your brain will work to protect that story, even if it limits you. Most people base their sense of what's possible on the past, not the future. But the past is not a good indicator of possibility. If it were, we'd never have developed planes, mobile phones, or countless other advances. People often confuse excuses with boundaries. Boundaries protect your values and priorities, coming from clarity and love. Excuses protect your comfort zone. One brings peace and alignment, the other brings guilt and frustration. Boundaries leave you feeling empowered; excuses leave you feeling smaller. Second Timothy 1:7 says, “For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.” That's your wiring in Christ—the Spirit designed you for power, love, and sound judgment. Every time you challenge an excuse, you weaken the old fear pathway and strengthen the neural circuit for courage and action. This is proven neuroscience. Here's how to shift: Name your choices out loud. Instead of “I can't because,” say “I choose not to because.” This admits you have the power to change it. If you don't like the choice, change it on the spot. Interrupt excuses as they form by asking, “What's the real truth here?” Upgrade your self-talk. Replace “I don't have time” with “I haven't made time yet.” Replace “I'm bad with money” with “I haven't learned money skills yet.” Create an ownership anchor—a quick physical trigger like snapping your fingers, tapping your chest, or standing taller—to remind yourself to move from retreat to responsibility. Track your wins. Progress, even small, proves you're rewriting your story. Taking ownership isn't about perfection—it's about refusing to give your excuses the final word. Every shift reclaims more territory from fear, delay, and self-sabotage, moving you closer to the life God has for you. You don't need another year with the same old excuses. God's calling on your life is too important to keep hitting snooze. Ownership is freedom. Excuses are chains. If today's episode gave you a breakthrough or fresh perspective, share it with a friend.

This is part two of the framework; if you missed part one, head to episode 175 and start there so you're all caught up. In this episode of Experiencing Data, I continue my deep dive into the MIRRR UX Framework for designing trustworthy agentic AI applications. Building on Part 1's “Monitor” and “Interrupt,” I unpack the three R's: Redirect, Rerun, and Rollback—and share practical strategies for data product managers and leaders tasked with creating AI systems people will actually trust and use. I explain human-centered approaches to thinking about automation and how to handle unexpected outcomes in agentic AI applications without losing user confidence. I am hoping this control framework will help you get more value out of your data while simultaneously creating value for the human stakeholders, users, and customers. Highlights / Skip to: Introducing the MIRRR UX Framework (1:08) Designing for trust and user adoption plus perspectives you should be including when designing systems. (2:31) Monitor and interrupt controls let humans pause anything from a single AI task to the entire agent (3:17) Explaining “redirection” in the example context of use cases for claims adjusters working on insurance claims—so adjusters (users) can focus on important decisions. (4:35) Rerun controls: lets humans redo an angentic task after unexpected results, preventing errors and building trust in early AI rollouts (11:12) Rerun vs. Redirect: what the difference is in the context of AI, using additional use cases from the insurance claim processing domain (12:07) Empathy and user experience in AI adoption, and how the most useful insights come from directly observing users—not from analytics (18:28) Thinking about agentic AI as glue for existing applications and workflows, or as a worker (27:35) Quotes from Today's Episode The value of AI isn't just about technical capability, it's based in large part on whether the end-users will actually trust and adopt it. If we don't design for trust from the start, even the most advanced AI can fail to deliver value." "In agentic AI, knowing when to automate is just as important as knowing what to automate. Smart product and design decisions mean sometimes holding back on full automation until the people, processes, and culture are ready for it." "Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is slow down, create checkpoints, and give people a chance to course-correct before the work goes too far in the wrong direction." "Reruns and rollbacks shouldn't be seen as failures, they're essential safety mechanisms that protect both the integrity of the work and the trust of the humans in the loop. They give people the confidence to keep using the system, even when mistakes happen." "You can't measure trust in an AI system by counting logins or tracking clicks. True adoption comes from understanding the people using it, listening to them, observing their workflows, and learning what really builds or breaks their confidence." "You'll never learn the real reasons behind a team's choices by only looking at analytics, you have to actually talk to them and watch them work." "Labels matter, what you call a button or an action can shape how people interpret and trust what will happen when they click it."
