Life moves fast.And sometimes, so does your mind.The thoughts, the tasks, the noise — it all piles up.You might not even realize how full your mental plate is until it starts to overflow. If your mind feels like it's running in a hundred directions... If it's loud, cluttered, chaotic... If your thoughts are looping or jumping from tab to tab... This is your moment to pause. To step out of the mental traffic. And to reset.This episode will be your guided meditation - mind cleanse.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Today's episode is sparked by a post that's been making waves online. It goes like this:“If this was your weekly grocery list: – 2 cartons of eggs – 2–4 grass-fed steaks – 2–3 lbs of ground beef – 1 whole chicken and fish – Vegetables of choice – Avocados and berries – 2 large Greek yogurtsYou'd lose fat, gain muscle, and have zero food cravings.”Sounds pretty good, right?But is it really that simple? Could this be the secret we've all been missing? Or is this another one-size-fits-all oversimplification dressed up as nutrition advice?Let's break it down — with science, real-life application, and practical tips for anyone chasing fat loss, muscle gain, and long-term health.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

In this episode, we're rollin' it back to one of the most important, eye-opening, and wildly misunderstood topics in all of health and fitness — your metabolism.Now hold up — before you think, “Oh yeah, I've heard about that already…” Let me ask you this:Do you actually know what your metabolism is? Or how to train it? Or what it really means to speed it up?Because most people don't.And that's exactly why we're digging this one out of the archives.In this episode, we unpack what metabolism actually means — no fluff, no hype, just real science explained in a way that makes sense and actually applies to your life.We talk about:Metabolic flexibility and how your body uses fuelWhy metabolism isn't just about burning calories — it's about adaptingHow diet, exercise, and even alcohol affect your metabolic pathwaysAnd why most people are stuck in “traffic jams” on the metabolic freewayIf you've ever felt like your metabolism is broken… slow… or sabotaging your goals — this episode will completely reframe how you think about fat loss, energy, and nutrition.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

In this episode we're diving into Part 3 of our Sleep Like a Genius series — and this one is gonna blow your mind. Because we're not just talking about sleep hygiene and blue light glasses — we're going deeper.We're talking about:Why daylight savings time is basically a global sleep experiment gone wrong — and how it's affecting your heart, brain, and even the stock market.How better sleep can supercharge your sex life — and how sex can boost your sleep in return.Whether naps are helpful… or harmful.And finally — the surprising health benefits of dreaming — creativity, emotional healing, and even problem-solving while you sleep.Let's get into it.Resources:Brain.fm App (First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

This episode might shake some foundations.Because we're diving into something almost no one talks about… But it might be the single most misunderstood and misused variable in your training.Rest. That's right. Rest periods.And no — I'm not talking about sleeping at night or taking a rest day. I'm talking about those 30 seconds... 60 seconds... 2 minutes... The space between your sets.Most people I coach — whether in my group fitness classes or one-on-one — they think just because they're lifting weights, they're doing strength training. But that's not how the body works.You can be holding a barbell and still not be strength training.What determines whether your training builds strength, muscle, endurance, or just gets you sweaty — Isn't the exercise. It's the stimulus. And REST is a major part of that stimulus.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

This episode might just change the way you see your body and your life forever.We're diving into some powerful ideas from The Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce Lipton — a groundbreaking book that blends cell biology, quantum physics, and the power of thought into a single message:“You are not a victim of your genes. You are a creator of your biology.”Let me ask you something right off the bat:Have you ever felt like your body is working against you?Like no matter how well you eat… how hard you train… how many green smoothies you drink… you still feel stuck — in your energy, in your weight, in your health?Most people chalk that up to “bad genetics.” They say things like: “It runs in my family.” “I've always been this way.” “My body's just broken.”But what if I told you…That's not biology. That's a belief.And it turns out, your beliefs might just be the most powerful health intervention you've never been taught to use.Today's episode is going to challenge everything you thought you knew about your body, your brain, and your so-called “destiny.”Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Did you know God has been dreaming about you? He has dreams not only for the good he's specifically called you to do, but also for who you'd become. This week, we explore the final of the four roles of our "Dream Disciple" at Wawasee. God calls each of us to be a Legacy Builder. It's never too late to build a legacy. The reality is, we all will leave one for good or ill. What unique gifting or experience has the Lord given to you? Where (or how) are you currently investing that gift for God's glory and the good of others? A Legacy Builder—rooted in Jesus's grace—multiplies the Gospel by investing their faith, themselves, and their stuff, (3) cultivating a legacy that lasts forever.

Did you know God has been dreaming about you? He has dreams not only for the good he's specifically called you to do, but also for who you'd become. This week, we explore the third of four roles of our "Dream Disciple" at Wawasee. God has sent each of us a Ready Storyteller.

A Ready Storyteller lives sent—ready to share their story and make God obvious!

In our final interview recorded live at The Tuftex Experience, I'm chatting with Michelle and Sean of Lush Balloons about growth, efficiency and taking care of clients. We kick off by talking about the efficiencies they've incorporated into their business in order to reduce their number of staff and get higher profit margins… inflation and production, material organization, limiting offers and more. Then I always have to ask how people are able to come to conferences while their business stays home, and Sean and Michelle share how they've trained their employees to handle production and deliveries while they're away. They also share some nuggets about the class they taught at Tuftex - Cracking the Corporate Code; and we chat about how you just never know whether a small birthday bouquet could turn into a huge corporate referral. It was really neat to hear their story about market timing, standout designs, social media presence and client appreciation - thanks to them both!         In the UGlu Hotline, hear a tip for using White-Out on your marquee letters.   Unlock three free bonus episodes!    RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  @lushballoons  Other sponsors & resources: Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST)  Save $50 on FLOAT 2026 registration with code SARA Stay Booked  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  DM @thebrightballoon on Instagram to ask a question or leave advice for the UGlu Hotline!

In this episode, Paul explores the real cost and true value of retiring in paradise. We begin by examining a widely cited article claiming retirees need $2.2 million to live comfortably in Hawaii, and uncover how media “information laundering” can make financial advice seem more official than it is. Then, Paul sits down with Aaron Goddard, CEO of Allstate Health Benefits, who moved his family to Hawaii over a decade ago. Aaron shares candid insights about cost of living, quality of life, community, and why he believes Hawaii offers unmatched rewards for retirees.   --   This Material is Intended for General Public Use.

Did you know God has been dreaming about you? He has dreams not only for the good he's specifically called you to do, but also for who you'd become. This week, we explore the second of four roles of our "Dream Disciple" at Wawasee. God longs for each of us to be a Courageous Connector—to take relational risks, be honest about personal struggles, and foster community with humility and love. Drawing from Philippians 2, where Jesus empties himself and models perfect humility, the challenge becomes clear: forge unity in the church by humbly prioritizing others and creating belonging like Jesus.

In this episode I want to give you a toolset that can change the way people experience you — in every room you walk into.Let me ask you something:Have you ever walked into a room and just… shrunk?You didn't say anything yet, but it already felt like you didn't belong — like someone else owned the space?Now flip it:Have you ever watched someone walk in — not loud, not flashy — but the energy in the room just shifted? Like everyone turned toward them without even knowing why?That's not luck. That's not charisma.That's frame control.Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/
