On this episode of Dominate Your Day, I had the privilege of sitting down with Sharon Eubank to talk about her new book, Doing Small Things with Great Love, and the powerful lessons she's learned from nearly three decades of global humanitarian work. Sharon emphasizes that real help is always an exchange grounded in respect, dignity, and listening rather than assuming we know what's best for others. We also discuss the leadership principles behind her work, especially the belief that we are most powerful where we live. Sharon explains how lasting change happens within trusted networks teams, neighborhoods, and organizations that hold one another accountable and unite around a shared purpose. She reflects on how service and purpose-driven teamwork can counter polarization and digital isolation, strengthen communities, and even improve mental health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to make a positive impact within their community. Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Small acts matter more than we think. Real impact doesn't have to be big or global it's about giving the right help at the right time in the right way. Even simple acts, done with empathy, can restore dignity and humanity. 2. We are most powerful where we live. Lasting change happens in our own communities, where we understand the culture, speak the language, and have long-term relationships. Don't underestimate the influence you have right where you are. 3. Great leadership empowers, it doesn't dictate. Instead of solving problems for people, strong leaders help others build confidence to find their own solutions creating purpose-driven, trusted teams that make meaningful impact together. Episode Minutes: Minute 10:00 - Prioritizing where you are most powerful - your community Minute 11:00 - The importance of trusting and empowering those around you in leadership Minute 13:00 - Lessons from humanitarian work applicable to purpose-driven teams Minute 16:00 - Reflections on human nature, polarization, and community connection Links + Resources from This Episode: Get a copy of Sharon's book, Doing Small Things with Great Love Take the free 3-minute Authentic Imprint™ Assessment Get a copy of Dana's book, The Internal Revolution: Lead Authentically and Build Your Personal Brand from Within Learn more about The Strengths Journal

Presented by Karly Hampshire, MD; Natasha Sood, MD, MPH; and Bhargavi Chekuri, MD (Moderator)STFM Conference on Medical Student Education Closing Session | Sunday, February 1, 2026Climate change is the greatest health threat of the 21st century, yet medical education has been slow to prepare future physicians for its wide-ranging impacts on health systems and patient care. In this session, we spotlight the power of student-led innovation in advancing climate and health education through two globally recognized initiatives: the Planetary Health Report Card (PHRC) and Climate Resources for Health Education (CRHE). Both began as grassroots projects by medical students who identified gaps in their training and took action to fill them. PHRC now benchmarks health professional schools internationally on planetary health curriculum, research, and operations, while CRHE has developed a growing library of open-access teaching materials to equip faculty with ready-to-use climate and health resources.Through a panel discussion with the co-founders of PHRC and CRHE, participants will hear first-hand stories of how these initiatives were built, scaled, and sustained as international collaborations. Panelists will reflect on their “aha” moments, early challenges, and lessons learned in fostering inter-institutional collaboration, leveraging mentorship, and bridging the gap between education and clinical practice. As both panelists now train as residents, they will also share how their perspectives on climate and health education have evolved with greater exposure to patient care and health systems.This session will equip educators, learners, and leaders with practical insights on cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset, leveraging collaboration, and supporting the next generation of change agents in climate and health education.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Describe how trainee-led initiatives have advanced climate and health integration in medical education worldwide.Identify strategies for fostering collaboration, mentorship, and sustainability in grassroots educational innovations.Apply lessons from student innovators to support the development of new climate and health education efforts at their own institutions. Copyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2026Karly Hampshire, MDKarly Hampshire is an internal medicine resident at Columbia University pursuing a career at the intersection of medical education, climate change, and health.

She was also awarded the Emerging Physician Leader Award from Health Care without Harm for her Interview without Harm Initiative, an advocacy, research, and educational campaign urging decisionmakers to prioritize sustainability and equity in evolving decisions about the future of medical training interviews post-COVID.

What if medicine's ancient rituals could evolve to heal the modern physician's soul, turning burnout into a blueprint for resilient leadership?In this episode, Dr. Andrea Austin speaks with Dr. Venkatesh Ramnath about his journey from ICU conflicts and existential doubt to pioneering the Health Architect model. Venkatesh recounts early career frictions like coding audits and rigid communication clashing with rural teams, that led to his 2015 rock bottom, and how embracing cognitive science, myths, and practical rituals helped him redesign his path. The conversation unpacks leadership as a learnable skill, the need to embed financial literacy and care networks in curricula, and fostering agency through evidence-based attitudes and collaborative debriefs.You'll hear how they:Navigate moral injury from systemic silos, using health architecture to layer foundations of ethics, diagnostics, and aspirational wellnessReframe leadership beyond hierarchy, teaching self-awareness and trust-building to bridge academic ideals with real-world teamsAdvocate for curriculum overhauls, sprinkling scientific attitudes, financial savvy, and quality-of-death discussions into every disease pathwayInspire renewal through slowing down, curiosity-driven creativity, and a "new oath" prioritizing human connection over helplessnessIf you're rebuilding after burnout or redesigning med ed for the AI era, this episode offers a blueprint for wisdom over facts, progress over perfection.About the Guest:“Health architecture is about building foundations of agency and connection.” – Dr.  Venkatesh RamnathDr. Venkatesh Ramnath  is a pulmonary and critical care physician, health architect, writer, and host of the Be a Health Architect podcast. With experience spanning academic centers, rural border hospitals, and COVID ICUs, he transitioned from burnout to advocacy by fusing medicine with cognitive science and architecture metaphors.  Venkatesh speaks on leadership, meaning-making, and innovation, contributing to outlets like the LA Times, and is authoring a book on a "new oath" for physician wellness.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner struggling with success? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Alexis Austin Litle, a former law firm partner and strategic success coach about how subconscious beliefs—often shaped by parental influence —can limit success in law firms. Alexis explains how these deep-seated patterns affect sales and growth and provides practical strategies to identify and rewire limiting beliefs about money and success.Subconscious beliefs drive success for people and more so for those who own their own businesses. Most people don't realize that the negative things that are said in your childhood actually are used to drive your success when you are older. These patterns that existed are now what control your success. For law firms, it is easy for there to be negative ideas about clients or something being too “expensive”. It is important to transform the beliefs of your team by rewiring  those beliefs. Alexis talks about what kind of action plan you need for this change, ultimately leading to success. Once you identify those thoughts and feelings from your team, flip the script on them. Start changing your own thoughts and feelings about clients, an expensive software that will help the firm or your intake process. The key is to be in a constant spaced repetition, so your team can follow your lead.Take a listen!3:58 The Power of Subconscious Beliefs9:39 Identifying and Rewiring Beliefs13:04 Proof of Success After Changing Beliefs16:00 Action Plan for Change18:34 Lasting Change and Parental BlameTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Alexis:WebsiteInstagram Facebook  X Linkedin Youtube

Dupre shares insights from his faith journey and highlights the importance of effective leadership in achieving sustainable change. This blog post delves into key takeaways from their discussion, offering valuable lessons for anyone looking to lead effectively.Understanding the ForgePoint ConceptRandall Dupre's ministry, ForgePoint, serves as a metaphor for transformation. He explains that a forge point is a pivotal moment where the right conditions come together, allowing for significant change. Just as metal is transformed in a forge, individuals and organizations can experience profound change when they embrace the right mindset and practices.A Journey of Faith and TransformationDupre's journey began at 15 when he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior. Raised in a family with mixed religious backgrounds, his faith was not cultivated until he encountered a youth group that sparked his spiritual awakening. This experience ignited a passion for scripture and a desire to understand leadership through a faith-based lens. Dupre emphasizes the importance of personal transformation as a precursor to leading others effectively.The Importance of Leadership in Organizational ChangeThroughout his career in various manufacturing companies, Dupre observed that many transformation efforts failed due to a lack of effective leadership. He stresses that successful change is not merely about implementing tools or processes; it requires a culture of leadership that supports and sustains those changes. For instance, during his time at Boeing, a consulting firm highlighted that their organization was not ready for transformation due to cultural deficiencies. This revelation was a turning point for Dupre, leading him to focus on the intersection of leadership and faith.Key Leadership PrinciplesDupre draws inspiration from John Maxwell, who articulates that the best leaders embody principles demonstrated by Jesus. He believes that effective leadership begins with self-leadership, a concept he illustrates through personal anecdotes. Whether it's striving for personal goals or fostering a healthy organizational culture, leaders must set standards and hold themselves accountable. Dupre's belief is that where there are no standards, there can be no continuous improvement, echoing the principles of Kaizen in lean practices.Real-World Application: Case Study from BoeingRandall shares a significant experience from his tenure at Boeing, where he was tasked with leading a transformational change initiative. Despite hiring a prestigious consulting firm, the team discovered that without the right cultural foundation, their efforts would be futile. This scenario underscored the critical role of leadership in creating a conducive environment for change. Dupre's insights from this experience highlight

If you feel like you're constantly falling off track with your goals — whether it's nutrition, fitness, business, or finances — there's a high likelihood you're missing something foundational:

Have you ever worked so hard to fix a problem in your marriage, only to find yourself right back in the same place weeks later? Most couples don't struggle because they aren't trying. They struggle because they're putting a lot of effort into changes that can't create lasting results. In this episode, Dan explains what it actually means to work smarter on your marriage, not harder. Drawing from systems theory, personal experience, and real coaching stories, he shows why some changes help temporarily while others lead to real, lasting transformation. He breaks down the difference between first-order change (doing more or less of the same things) and second-order change (upgrading the rules your relationship is operating on). You'll learn how to recognize when you're stuck in surface-level fixes, how to identify the unspoken "rules" your marriage is operating by, and what it looks like to make changes at the level that truly creates growth—especially around intimacy, desire differences, and recurring conflict.

Big goals can feel overwhelming, and relying on motivation alone often sets us up for failure. By focusing on tiny, repeatable actions — what we call minimum viable habits — you can protect your confidence, maintain consistency, and slowly train your brain to see yourself as someone who shows up. We break down the psychology behind small wins, explain why doing less can actually lead to more, and give practical examples you can start today to make real, sustainable progress. Support the showProduction and Content: Edward Delesky, MD, DABOM & Nicole Aruffo, RN Artwork Rebrand and Avatars: Vantage Design Works (Vanessa Jones) Website: https://www.vantagedesignworks.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vantagedesignworks?igsh=aHRuOW93dmxuOG9m&utm_source=qr Original Artwork Concept: Olivia Pawlowski

Have you ever worked so hard to change—only to end up feeling stuck, exhausted, or right back where you started?

Send us a textResolutions powered by adrenaline rarely survive February. We're after something deeper: a year that actually changes because your spirit leads, your mind renews, and your habits align with what God already says about you. Together we unpack why identity comes before intensity, how to let the old you die without shame, and the simple daily choices that turn conviction into consistency.We start with the core conviction: this will be your best year ever if it's your best year spiritually. That means speaking new language over your life, finding identity in Christ above career, politics, or past labels, and embracing the crucified life of Galatians 2:20 where influence grows as self decreases. From there, we get practical. We pair faith with works—Scripture and prayer before scrolling, weekly church in person as a non-negotiable, and one to three priorities per quarter that actually fit your calendar. We walk through building when-then systems, designing your environment, and swapping bad habits for better ones so you can grow an oak tree, not a firework.Community and accountability carry the change forward. Choose friends going where you want to go, join a small group or serve team, and seek mentors with visible fruit inside your local church. Create boundaries that protect your calling—media limits, no-phone bedrooms, and clear yeses that define your noes. Celebrate small wins, restart without shame, and keep Matthew 6:33 at the center: seek first the kingdom and trust God with the rest.If you're ready for lasting change rooted in faith and multiplied by wise habits, press play and journey with us. Subscribe, share this conversation with a friend who needs a reset, and tell us your top three goals so we can pray with you.

Welcome to a powerful and heartfelt episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, hosted by Heather Creekmore. In this episode, Heather chats with three real women—Patricia, Diane, and Jess—who have courageously walked through coaching and programs to improve their body image and relationship with food. If you’re tired of feeling stuck in food obsession, diet culture, or shame around your body, this episode is for you! Episode Highlights: The guests share honestly about their lifelong battles with body image, food restriction, calorie counting, and the underlying fears and shame that kept them trapped for years. Patricia Reveals how she lived in “body image bondage” for nearly two decades, mistaking strict dieting for freedom until she discovered the faith-based approach of Compared to Who? and began her journey to genuine freedom. Diane At age 71, reflects on six decades of food obsessions and restricting behaviors, and how finally integrating her faith with her eating and body image struggles began her transformation. Jess Shares how she didn’t realize she even had body image issues until after having kids; she discusses the shame of living in a bigger body, the mental exhaustion of chasing diets, and how true freedom finally came through the support and tools offered in the coaching group. The women and Heather explore the themes of fear, idolatry, objectification, and the dynamic between self-worth and body size. Hear practical, inspiring stories about breaking the cycle of daily weigh-ins, obsessive thoughts, and moralizing food choices. Each guest describes how participation in the 40 Day Body Image Journey, the Body Image Freedom Framework, and intuitive eating coaching offered loving accountability, lasting mindset shifts, and deepened connection to God’s truth about their identity. The episode closes with encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, scared to start, or believes they’re “too old” or “too late” for change. Key Takeaways: Lasting body image freedom isn’t about reaching your “ideal weight”—it’s about shifting your perspective, breaking fear-driven cycles, and finding your worth in God, not a number on the scale. Healing comes in community: support, vulnerability, and shared struggle are powerful in bringing freedom from shame and isolation. No matter your age or how long you’ve struggled, there is hope and there is help.

As a new year begins, many addicts and betrayed partners feel both hope and heartbreak—hope that things can change, and heartbreak from remembering all the years they didn't. In this episode, we explain why traditional New Year's resolutions often fail: they are usually made from reactionary emotional states, lack realistic structure, and collapse when real life returns. Instead of empowering change, these resolutions frequently deepen shame, reinforce hopeless identity narratives, and push people further into addiction or emotional withdrawal.In PBSE Episode 314, we examine several common traps that sabotage lasting growth, including “blood oaths” and grand promises, punitive self-punishment after setbacks, and goals that focus only on stopping behaviors rather than addressing the deeper emotional and relational roots driving them. We emphasize the importance of reparative accountability—learning from breakdowns instead of shaming ourselves—and the necessity of planning for obstacles rather than pretending they won't happen. Sustainable change requires humility, preparation, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable patterns instead of avoiding them.Finally, we focus on two critical but often overlooked drivers of change: identity and environment. We explain how internal self-talk and identity beliefs shape behavior, and why becoming a different person must come before doing different behaviors. We also highlight how environments—relationships, routines, technology, and thought patterns—either support or sabotage recovery. Real and lasting change in 2026 won't come from another resolution; it will come from aligning identity, environment, and daily practices with the life we are trying to build.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  How to Attain REAL and LASTING Change in 2026!Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Angela is joined by Sarah Rusbatch, to discuss the hidden health risks of alcohol, particularly for women in midlife. Sarah reveals the physiological reasons why women metabolise alcohol differently than men, leading to increased health risks, and shares the alarming statistic that four out of five women are unaware of the link between alcohol and breast cancer.  Together they focus on the three core pillars for successful behaviour change: focusing on what you gain, replacing the habit with a positive alternative, and embracing the power of small experiments KEY TAKEAWAYS: The Hidden Risks for Women: Women metabolise alcohol less efficiently than men due to lower levels of the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme, making them more susceptible to alcohol's negative effects Alcohol's Link to Cancer: One in five breast cancer deaths are linked to alcohol, and the risk increases dose-dependently. Four out of five women are unaware of this direct connection. The Power of Positive Substitution: Successful behaviour change requires moving the focus from the deprivation (loss aversion) to the gains (e.g., better sleep, more energy, better skin) and replacing the drinking habit with an effective, positive alternative. Addressing the Root Cause: For many, alcohol is a "solution to the problem" of boredom, stress, or escape. Lasting change requires looking at what alcohol is masking and making fundamental changes to your life TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:01:25: One glass of alcohol can be too much for those with genetic predispositions 0:03:08: Why women metabolise alcohol differently 0:04:45: Four in five women are unaware of the link between alcohol and breast cancer. 0:06:50: The alcohol industry's successful marketing strategy that led to the rise of female-targeted pink drinks 0:11:35: The three core pillars for behaviour change VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible Get weekly science tips to optimise your health and longevity to your inbox with Angela's free newsletter.

In this episode, Dr. Stacy Heimburger discusses the importance of setting intentions for the new year by focusing on identity rather than just actions. She emphasizes the need to build a foundation of identity to support habit formation and introduces the concept of a focus word as a guiding principle for personal growth. The conversation also highlights the significance of community support in achieving goals and encourages listeners to reflect on their values and desired identity for the year ahead.Key Takeaways:We often fail at habits because we skip building a foundation.Changing our identity is crucial for lasting change.Focus on who you want to become, not just what to do.A focus word can help guide decisions and actions.There is no deadline for making positive changes.Community support can enhance personal growth efforts.Visualizing your future self can clarify your goals.Small, incremental changes can lead to significant growth.Your focus word acts as a filter for opportunities.You don't have to navigate this journey alone.Join Kickstart 2026!  www.sugarfreemd.com/kickstart2026Free 2-Pound Plan Call!Want to jump start your weight loss?

What if your New Year's resolutions keep failing because they were never really yours to begin with? Most goals we set aren't chosen—they're inherited from magazines, social media, parents, or that version of ourselves we think we're supposed to become. That's why they don't stick. In this episode, Tony shares his decades-long "pushup obsession" and how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) finally broke the cycle—not through more discipline, but by discovering what actually mattered to him. What you'll learn: - Why "socially compliant goals" sabotage your motivation before you even start - The crucial difference between values (your compass) and goals (checkboxes)—and why confusing them keeps you stuck - How to use lead measures instead of lag measures to build sustainable change - The "Passengers on the Bus" technique for moving forward even when self-doubt is loud - A simple 5-step "Get Back on the Saddle" plan for when you inevitably wobble With over 20 years of clinical experience, Tony explains why you're not broken—you're human—and offers a framework for building a life that actually feels like yours. Ready to stop beating yourself up and start driving toward what matters?

Every year, writers make New Year's resolutions with the best intentions—only to watch those resolutions crumble under real life. The problem isn't discipline or willpower, but the same structural mistakes that cause character arcs to collapse in screenplays. Learn how to build 2026 resolutions that actually work by drawing on the same techniques writers use to create journeys of lasting change for their characters.

Why do so many goals fail, even when our intentions are good?John Ortberg explores why lasting change doesn't begin with outcomes or even habits, but with identity. Drawing on wisdom from James Clear, the apostle Paul, and everyday experience, we're invited to ask a deeper question: Who am I becoming?Transformation isn't about achieving “it.” It's about becoming a certain kind of person and allowing small, faithful habits to shape us over time. This is a vision of change that is patient, grace-filled, and rooted in God's work within us.What if today isn't about fixing everything, but about taking one small step toward the person God is forming?

This may be the biggest opportunity of all time. Learn how to shorten the time frame on changing human behavior. #ThePitch #INICIVOX #VirtualMentorship

If you want 2026 to look different, it starts with three powerful decisions — decisions that shift your mindset, strengthen your faith, and build the foundation for lasting change. In this episode, LeAndra shares the three choices that changed everything in her own health journey — from dreaming big with God to believing new thoughts when things get hard, to treating herself with grace instead of guilt. Because real transformation doesn't come from more willpower — it comes from deciding who you'll be before you see the results.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Have you ever wondered if psychedelics could unlock better mental health, emotional intelligence, or a deeper connection with yourself and others?   I talk with Austin Mao, who is a licensed natural medicine facilitator and co-founder of Ceremonia, a legal psychedelic center in Denver, Colorado. Austin is the Program Director & Head Minister and has guided over 500 individuals. We discuss the purpose of using guided psilocybin and ayahuasca experiences to foster profound healing and personal growth. Austin explains that connection is the foundation for healing, pairing modern science (psychotherapy/neuroscience) with mindfulness and shamanic practices. He shares incredible stories, like how physical pain of 20 years disappeared after one ceremony. We explore how their structured retreats help individuals integrate lessons by building capacity to process experiences, avoiding resistance, and teaching the skill of presence.   Key Takeaways Transformation often occurs because people become accustomed to a lesser quality of living and do not realize the difference until it is shown to them. The process at Ceremonia focuses on connection as the foundation for healing. Many participants experience significant physical transformations alongside emotional and mental shifts; at least two out of ten people often have a life-changing physical transformation. The two key variables determining a psychedelic experience are dosage and the subjective feeling of safety/capacity. The most inconvenient truth about connection is that real connection comes from experiencing "now" (presence) and the impact you are having on someone else in the current moment, not from history or background. A simple tool for practicing presence is asking yourself: "What's it like to be me right now?".   Resources Website: https://www.ceremoniacircle.org Instagram: @ceremoniacircle https://www.instagram.com/ceremoniacircle Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ceremoniacircle YouTube: @ceremoniacircle https://www.youtube.com/@ceremoniacircle   Upcoming Retreats Mentioned: Awaken Together (January 13-18); Heal with Ayahuasca (February 2-8); Weekend Retreat (March 6-8).   Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients.
