If You Are Exhausted, There May Be More Going OnIn this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, Ashlene takes on one of the most misunderstood PCOS symptoms: fatigue. If you feel like you are always tired, foggy, inconsistent, and frustrated with yourself for not doing more, this episode reframes everything. Low energy is not laziness. It is often one of the clearest forms of body feedback available.Why Fatigue Happens with PCOSBlood sugar instability, cortisol dysregulation, disrupted sleep quality, chronic inflammation, under-fueling, and hormonal imbalance can all contribute to the kind of fatigue that does not respond to more caffeine or more pressure. This episode breaks down each driver clearly so you can start to identify which ones may be relevant for your body.Why Self-Blame and Pressure Make It WorseThe instinct to push through exhaustion with willpower is understandable, but physiologically, it often deepens the problem. More cortisol, worse sleep, more fatigue. This episode explains the hormonal loop that keeps women stuck and why the way out is not more discipline.What the Body May Actually Be Asking ForStable nourishment, better circadian rhythms, smarter movement, improved sleep quality, and a reduction in the chaos load. This section gets specific about what tends to help, and why the approach of working with the body instead of against it changes the entire experience.What Changes When Energy ImprovesConsistency becomes easier. Food choices stabilize. Cycle signaling can improve. This episode connects energy to every other outcome women with PCOS care about and explains why it is foundational, not optional.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause herePCOS Root Cause Bootcamp WaitlistLet's continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-183

[00:30] ‘Rededicate 250' (25 minutes) Preachers from around America gathered in Washington, D.C., on Sunday to rededicate America to God. Hardly anyone showed up to the event, including some of the most prominent speakers who opted instead to send in prerecorded video messages. What was missing from the rededication ceremony?

If you've been feeling tired, low energy, or exhausted all of the time… today's breakthrough episode is for you. Brandy works with a beautiful volunteer named Victoria, who has been navigating chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia after a difficult season where it felt like one thing was happening after another, after another. But what Brandy uncovers may surprise you… because the real source of chronic exhaustion often isn't what most people assume. And it isn't always about processing more of the past. Sometimes the subconscious mind can become so conditioned to expecting stress, pressure, fear, or disappointment that even moving forward in life can begin to feel emotionally unsafe. And when that happens, the nervous system and body can start responding in ways most people never realize. In this episode, Brandy shares powerful insights into: • Why the subconscious mind can influence low energy more than people think • How fear and emotional resistance can quietly drain vitality • The deeper reason life can start feeling heavy or emotionally exhausting • Why processing emotional patterns the wrong way can sometimes reinforce struggle instead of creating freedom • The powerful shift that happens when we begin restoring a genuine sense of safety moving forward • How subconscious resistance can feel like driving with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake If you've ever felt like you're trying to move forward but something deeper keeps pulling your energy down, this episode may completely change the way you see low energy, healing, and the mind-body connection. Because when we begin shifting the deeper patterns underneath stress and survival mode, life can start feeling lighter, safer, more energized, and more alive again.

Low Energy Doesn't Work When Presenting Why does low energy ruin a business presentation? If we do not grab attention and interest at the start, our message disappears. That is the core problem with low-energy presenting. A speaker can be intelligent, prepared, well read, and backed by strong content, yet still fail to leave any memorable impression. When the delivery lacks force, the audience hears the words but does not retain them. When the opening feels ordinary, the talk feels optional rather than compelling. Many business presentations fall into this trap. The presenter covers the material, answers the questions, and gets through the slides. On paper, the job looks complete. In reality, the talk does not create impact. The audience does not feel moved, challenged, surprised, or inspired. There is no sense of wow. The presentation simply fades away. Good is not enough. Competent is not enough. We need another ten degrees of heat. That extra energy changes how the room responds. It changes whether people lean in or tune out. Mini-summary: Strong content alone does not create a strong presentation. Energy and impact decide whether the audience remembers us or forgets us. What does a flat opening do to an audience? A flat opening tells the audience that nothing important has started. That is dangerous, because people arrive with full minds and fragmented attention. They are already thinking about emails, phones, meetings, deadlines, and the internet. If our opening sounds like a continuation of casual chat, we fail to draw a line between ordinary conversation and formal presentation. If the speaker's voice before the talk and at the start of the talk stays at the same level, and the body language also stays the same, there is no signal that the presentation has truly begun. The audience receives no energetic cue to stop, focus, and listen. If the speaker does not change gear, the room does not change gear either. This matters because first impressions are decisive in presenting. We only get a few seconds to secure attention. The audience must quickly feel that something worth hearing is now happening. Without that sharp transition, the message struggles to get into their consciousness. Mini-summary: A weak opening does not just feel dull. It actively prevents the audience from shifting into listening mode. Why do presenters need a stronger opening than they think? Presenters often assume that if they are prepared, the audience will naturally pay attention. That assumption is wrong. The audience does not arrive empty and ready. The audience arrives mentally crowded. Because attention spans are small and distractions are everywhere, we need to break into their awareness with deliberate force. We need a crowbar and a jemmy to get into the audience's full brain. Attention is not given automatically. We have to earn it. Our first words must tell people that the talk has begun, that they should pay attention, and that they should stop whatever mental activity came before this moment. A stronger opening does not mean random loudness or artificial drama. It means intentional design. We need opening words that carry hooks. We need a beginning that creates curiosity, tension, surprise, imagery, or credibility. A presenter who plans this well makes it easier for the audience to grant attention and keep granting it. Mini-summary: Audiences do not hand over attention for free. We must claim it quickly and deliberately through a purposeful opening. What kinds of hooks make an opening memorable? Several practical hooks help a presentation cut through. One option is story. If we lure the audience into a scene, they begin to picture it mentally. That matters because word pictures engage imagination, and imagination increases attention. Another option is a striking statistic. When a number surprises people, it interrupts routine thinking and makes the brain take notice. A third option is a quotation from a famous person. That can add instant credibility and frame the argument with authority. The common principle behind all of these hooks is design. We cannot leave the opening to chance. We must decide in advance how we will get cut through. A presentation opening should never be an accidental warm-up. It should be a calculated intervention. This is particularly important in business settings, where audiences often think they already know what is coming. A well-designed opening disrupts that assumption. It says this talk deserves fresh attention. Mini-summary: Memorable openings rely on deliberate hooks such as story, vivid imagery, surprising statistics, or credible quotations. Planning creates cut through. How do voice, eyes, and body language increase presentation power? Delivery creates physical presence, and physical presence helps capture attention. Five important resources are eyes, voice, gestures, posture, and positioning. These are not optional extras. They are part of the message. Voice comes first because it breaks into audience consciousness fast. When we lift our volume, people stop what they are doing and listen. A stronger voice signals urgency and importance. When we support the voice with a gesture, the overall impact grows. The audience sees and hears our intent at the same time. Eye contact needs precision. We cannot spread weak eye contact across the whole room and expect impact. Instead, we should choose one person near the middle and give that person strong eye contact for around six seconds. Then we repeat that process across the audience. In a large room, that still works because people near the intended recipient often feel included in the gaze. Positioning also matters. If we move physically closer to the audience, we increase immediacy. If the audience is seated and we remain standing, our height adds to presence. That physical advantage can help reinforce authority and focus. Mini-summary: Presentation power comes from coordinated delivery. A stronger voice, targeted eye contact, clear gestures, and purposeful movement make the speaker harder to ignore. Why is it better to start strong than build energy slowly? A good start is easier to continue than trying to build up power gradually. This matters because audiences make early judgements. If we start small, they often categorise the talk as low priority. Once that happens, it becomes much harder to lift the room later. A slow energy build may feel natural to the speaker, but it usually works against audience psychology. People decide quickly whether to commit attention. Because of that, the presenter should begin with enough energy to command the room, then maintain that level throughout the talk. We can vary that delivery with vocal range and pauses, but the baseline energy must stay alive. If a talk starts small, stays small, and finishes small, the entire presentation remains muted, flat, unremarkable, and forgettable. That is the cost of not turning up the inner thermometer. Mini-summary: Starting strong gives the presenter control early. Starting small makes it difficult to recover audience attention later. What practical steps help speakers avoid forgettable presentations? First, we should recognise that audiences are almost comatose when we begin. That does not insult the audience; it reminds us how much competition there is for attention. Second, we should remember that modern attention spans are tiny and distractions are constant. Third, we should actively search for a wow opening rather than settling for a routine start. Fourth, we should marshal every available tool: eyes, voice, body language, gestures, posture, and positioning. Great presenting is not just about words. It is about total delivery. Fifth, we should begin with strength rather than hope to grow into it later. When we apply these actions, we stop treating presenting as a simple transfer of information. We start treating it as a high-impact communication event. That shift changes outcomes. Audiences notice, remember, and respond. Mini-summary: Speakers avoid mediocrity by planning a wow opening, using all delivery tools, and maintaining strong energy from start to finish.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to returning guest Associate Professor José Areta to unpack one of the most debated topics in sports nutrition: energy availability, and what really happens when intake drops below demand.José takes a clear, physiology-first approach to explaining what energy availability actually means, why it has become such a dominant concept in exercise science, and whether the current narrative has become overly black-and-white. They explore his recent study examining the effects of a short, aggressive energy deficit, including what happens not just at a whole-body level, but deep within muscle tissue itself.In this conversation, they discuss the hormonal and metabolic responses to rapid weight loss, surprising findings around mitochondrial protein synthesis, and what changes in muscle and connective tissue might actually represent. José also reframes energy deficit as a biological stressor — one that may be adaptive in the right context — and challenges assumptions around how common and harmful low energy availability truly is.This is a nuanced, evidence-driven discussion that cuts through the noise and offers a more balanced perspective on energy deficit, performance, and long-term health.José L Areta currently works as an associate professor in Sports Nutrition and Metabolism at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at LJMU.José examines how nutrition interacts with exercise to shape both performance and health, with a focus on macronutrient timing and composition, the role of supplements in optimisation, and the hormonal and metabolic responses to energy restriction.José can be found at:https://profiles.ljmu.ac.uk/13460-jose-areta Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41182317/Previous appearance https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/124  Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

Adam Berry, Building Codes Advisor with the Colorado Energy Office spoke with me about Colorados path to its 3rd statewide code.  Following plumbing and electrical the state energy code is a significant step for a home rule state where building codes are normally adopted, amended, and enforced at a jurisdictional level. In this case, through legislation Colorado has adopted a new Model Low Energy and Carbon Code (MLECC) which becomes the States mandatory minimum standard for new and renovated buildings after July 1, 2026. After that date, all cities and counties in Colorado must adopt the LECCwhenever they update any local building codes. Amendments to the adopted code are only allowed to make the code more efficient than the LECC.Currently the State has jurisdictions that have no codes, and are likely to stay that way, and jurisdictions that are currently adopting the 2021 or 2024 IECC before the July 2026 implementation date so they don't have to adopt the LECC. There are also some jurisdictions moving straight to the LECC, so in reality it is currently all over the place with a plan to get unified over time. The Low Energy and Carbon Code is Based on the 2024 IECC with amendments to prioritize energy efficiency, fuel neutrality, and pre-electrification or electric ready requirements, such as EV and PV readiness, to address affordability, lower utility bills, and reduce carbon emissions.

Being persuasive is a commercial superpower. Whether you're pitching a proposal in a Toyota-style boardroom in Tokyo, selling a SaaS renewal in Silicon Valley, or leading a change programme in Sydney, you still need people to say "yes" to your idea. High-energy speakers often get impact "for free" because their natural pace and passion carries the room. Quiet, calm, low-energy presenters don't get that free lift — and being "authentic" isn't enough if the audience can't feel you. The goal isn't to become a different person. It's to build range: like classical music, you need crescendos and near-silence, intensity and restraint.  Is being authentic as a low-energy speaker enough to be persuasive? No — authenticity without impact can be "authentically boring," and boring never closed a deal, won a budget, or inspired a team. In business, your content and structure can be excellent (clear problem, strong solution, good logic), yet the delivery can still sink the outcome if the audience can't hear you, can't feel you, or mentally checks out. This is true across markets: Japan tends to reward calm professionalism, but "calm" is not the same as "flat." The US often rewards visible conviction, but conviction isn't the same as yelling. Australia likes directness, but directness still needs vocal colour. The professional standard is: keep your personality, upgrade your delivery. Think "credible and engaging," not "performer." Mini-summary / Do now: Keep your authenticity, but add range. Decide: where do you need more energy, and where do you need less? How do I fix low energy without feeling like I'm screaming at people? Low-energy speakers usually stop too early because the increase feels huge internally, even when it barely registers to the audience. This is a calibration problem. Your brain hears "double the energy" and thinks "I'm shouting like a football coach," but the room hears "finally, I can follow this." In practical terms, your voice has three dials: volume, pace, and emphasis. You don't need to crank all three at once. Start with emphasis (stress key words) and pace (slightly quicker on the easy bits, slower on the important bits). In Japan or Europe, you can still be restrained — just don't be invisible. In a US sales pitch, you can be warmer and more animated — without going full hype. Mini-summary / Do now: Increase by 10–15% more than feels comfortable. Adjust emphasis first, volume last. Why is it sometimes harder to slow down high-energy speakers than to energise quiet ones? Because fast, high-energy speakers often get "on a roll" and accidentally create an audience of one: themselves.They love their natural speed, and slowing down feels fake, uncomfortable, and restrictive — like putting a sports car into first gear. Quiet speakers have the opposite issue: they feel they're being ridiculous when they lift energy, so they quit at a tiny 5% improvement. Both extremes are fixable, but for different reasons. High-energy speakers need to reconnect to listeners (pause, breathe, check faces, ask rhetorical questions). Low-energy speakers need permission to occupy space(stronger openings, clearer key-point emphasis, more deliberate transitions). In a multinational (Rakuten, Siemens, Unilever), the best presenters can flex style by audience and setting. Mini-summary / Do now: High-energy: slow and connect. Low-energy: lift and project. Both: build range, not a new personality. What's the "classical music" approach to energy and voice in presentations? Great presentations aren't a constant crescendo or a constant lull — they're dynamic, like classical music with intensity and near-silence. If you shout the whole time, you exhaust people. If you whisper the whole time, you lose them. Variety creates attention. Use louder, faster, more animated delivery for urgency (risks, deadlines, customer pain). Use slower, softer, more deliberate delivery for gravity (ethics, safety, major decisions). This works across sectors: finance (Morgan Stanley-level formality), manufacturing (Toyota-style precision), tech (startup speed), and professional services (Big Four clarity). The trick is intentional contrast: your energy becomes a tool, not a mood. Even a quiet speaker can be powerful by controlling pauses, slowing down before a key message, and landing it with crisp emphasis. Mini-summary / Do now: Plan your "peaks and valleys." Mark 3 moments to lift energy and 3 moments to go calm and deliberate. Which words should I emphasise, and do I have to raise my volume to do it? Not every word is equal — emphasise the few that carry meaning, and you can do it with a whisper as powerfully as with volume. This is where low-energy speakers can win big: "conspiratorial" delivery can feel like you're sharing a crucial truth. Emphasis can be done through pace (slow the key phrase), pitch (slightly higher or lower), or pause (silence before the point). High-energy speakers often struggle here because they want to blast everything. Quiet speakers often under-emphasise and sound monotone. A practical method: highlight your script like a lawyer preparing closing arguments — the key nouns, numbers, deadlines, and decisions. In 2026 business environments, people remember what is clear and distinct: metrics, timelines, and a single recommended action. Mini-summary / Do now: Underline 10 "power words" in your talk. Rehearse delivering them three ways: normal, slower, then quiet-but-intense. Why do coaching and video rehearsal work when self-correction usually fails? Because your internal "volume meter" lies: what feels loud can still sound soft, and what feels soft can still sound like yelling. This is why coaching accelerates change. When you watch yourself on video, the story is almost always the same: quiet speakers realise they look positive and committed (not crazy), and loud speakers realise they look more professional and considered when they dial it down. In organisations with strong learning cultures (Dale Carnegie programmes, leadership academies, sales enablement teams), rehearsal is treated like risk management: you don't "wing it" with your brand on the line. Most business speakers give the talk once — live — with no coaching, which is wildly adventurous given the stakes. Feedback plus repetition builds range faster than willpower alone. Mini-summary / Do now: Record a 3-minute segment this week. Review it with a coach or trusted colleague and choose one dial to adjust next time. Final conclusion If you're a low-energy speaker, you don't need to become loud or flashy. You need range: deliberate variation in volume, pace, pauses, and emphasis. Build contrast like classical music, choose power words, and calibrate with video. The fastest path is coaching plus rehearsal — because your self-perception is unreliable. Quiet can be compelling. Calm can be commanding. But monotone and mumbled will never be persuasive. FAQs Low-energy speakers can be persuasive if they add range, not volume. Use emphasis, pauses, and pace changes to create impact without acting. Feeling like you're shouting is usually a false alarm. Most quiet speakers need a bigger lift than feels comfortable to sound "normal" to listeners. Video rehearsal fixes calibration faster than guesswork. What you feel and what the audience hears are often completely different.

Most people think feeling tired, foggy, and “off” is just what happens with age.But what if the real issue is that your cells are running on less fuel than they used to?In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Salzman, Harvard-trained physician, inventor, and biomedical entrepreneur, to unpack what's happening at the cellular level when energy drops and your brain stops feeling sharp.We break down NAD, a molecule involved in hundreds of critical reactions in the body, why it declines as you age, and how inflammation can accelerate that decline. We also talk about NMN, and why your brain is often the first place you feel the effects when cellular energy dips.In this episode, you'll learn: ☑️ What NAD does for energy, cognition, and resilience ☑️ Why NAD drops so significantly by midlife ☑️ How NMN works as a precursor to support NAD production ☑️ The “bathtub” model: why boosting NAD is not just about adding more, but also slowing the drain ☑️ How inflammation can drive NAD depletion through CD38 ☑️ Why better cellular energy can translate into clearer thinking, better memory, and sharper focusIf you've been feeling like your brain isn't firing the way it used to, your energy is unpredictable, or your focus is slipping, this episode will help you understand what's happening underneath the surface and what you can do to support your brain at the level where performance actually starts: your cells.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SummarySleep is one of the most important things for fat loss, but it is also one of the most ignored. In this episode, Chase and Chris break down why sleep has such a big impact on hunger, cravings, energy, stress, and even how your body loses weight.They talk about how poor sleep can increase your hunger hormones, make you crave higher calorie foods, and make workouts feel harder. They also explain how lack of sleep can lead to losing more muscle instead of body fat, even when calories are the same.The guys also share practical ways to improve sleep, including setting a consistent wake up time, managing caffeine, reducing screen time at night, and creating a better nighttime routine.If you feel like fat loss has been harder than it should be, your sleep might be the missing piece.Chapters(00:00) Why Sleep Is Often the Missing Piece in Fat Loss(02:57) How Lack of Sleep Increases Hunger and Cravings(06:09) Low Energy, Less Movement, and Harder Workouts(06:50) Same Calories, Different Sleep, Different Fat Loss Results(09:04) Sleep and Insulin Sensitivity(11:52) Cortisol, Stress, and Feeling Puffy or Stuck(14:56) Sleep's Role in Muscle Recovery and Performance(20:30) How Much Sleep You Actually Need(23:16) The Habits That Improve Your Sleep(28:34) Phones, Blue Light, and Doom Scrolling Before Bed(32:16) Caffeine and Why Timing Matters(34:00) Alcohol and Its Impact on Sleep Quality(36:34) Setting Up Your Bedroom for Better Sleep(38:00) Simple Nighttime Routines That Help You Wind Down(40:31) Sleep Supplements: What Helps and What Doesn't(41:48) Naps and Catching Up on Sleep(45:26) The Best Places to Start Improving Your SleepSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

Areta is a leading scholar in Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). His research investigates how nutrition and exercise interact to influence both performance and health. He focuses on the timing and composition of macronutrients — carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — and how they affect training adaptation. José also examines the role of dietary supplements in optimizing athletic performance, as well as the endocrine and metabolic consequences of energy restriction, particularly low energy availability. He has contributed influential studies on how severe calorie deficits combined with exercise can alter muscle quality and metabolism. José's work links cellular-level changes in muscle to practical nutrition strategies for athletes facing weight-sensitive sports or energy restriction.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.Follow Jose Areta's research: Study discussed, Endocrine, Metabolic, and Skeletal Muscle Proteomic Responses During Energy Deficit With Concomitant Aerobic Exercise in Humans: https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj.202502384RRIG: https://www.instagram.com/jose_l_aretaWeb: https://profiles.ljmu.ac.uk/13460-jose-aretaResearch: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=8tP0vzUAAAAJ&hl=enMentioned:A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Association and Differences between Aerobic Threshold and Pint of Optimal Fat OxidationCreatineBeta-alanineMORE NR Save 10% on our website with code NEWPOD10 Apply to work with us, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/ Interested in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?

Dr. José Areta and colleagues recently carried out a human intervention study examining how a pronounced, short-term energy deficit interacts with an aerobic training stimulus to shape endocrine, metabolic, and skeletal muscle proteomic adaptations. The core premise is that "low energy availability" is often discussed in a largely unidirectional risk framework, yet human physiology evolved under intermittent energy scarcity, and therefore adaptive responses may be more nuanced than "energy deficit equals impaired adaptation." The study used tightly controlled diet and exercise, repeated muscle biopsies, and dynamic proteomic profiling to quantify both abundance and synthesis rates of hundreds of individual muscle proteins. This enables a more granular view of "muscle quality" and phenotype than traditional bulk muscle protein synthesis measures. The findings were incredibly interesting and could have implications for how we view the impact of energy deficits and exercise response. We discuss the implications for athletes who routinely encounter transient within-day or multi-day energy deficits, for weight loss contexts, and for broader questions around healthspan and ageing biology.

In Part 1 of this conversation, Jamie sits down with nurse practitioner Jaclyn Taylor to pull wellness out of the “buzzword” category and into real life. They talk about why so many people feel stuck—fatigued, anxious, gaining weight, losing motivation—and why the first step isn't a perfect plan…it's being listened to. Jaclyn breaks down what the Your Health Wellness Program offers, how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy works, and why “normal labs” don't always mean you're actually okay. This episode is for anyone who's been powering through, silently struggling, or wondering if feeling better is still possible. www.YourHealth.Org

What happens to your home when your energy disappears?And what if clutter isn't the problem you think it is?This episode was recorded in recognition of World Cancer Day and is for anyone living with illness, chronic fatigue, long COVID, or going through a season where just getting through the day takes everything you've got.When illness enters your life, priorities change.Energy becomes precious.And suddenly, the clutter that's been sitting there for months or years feels heavier than ever.In this episode, I talk honestly about decluttering and organizing when you're unwell and why “keeping on top of the house” is not the goal in hard seasons. I share what I'm seeing right now while supporting women going through cancer treatment, living with chronic illness, or dealing with completely depleted energy levels.This isn't about perfect home organization.It's about creating an intentional home that supports you and your family when capacity is limited.We explore why clutter can feel overwhelming during illness, how organizing can actually become an act of self-care, and why small, thoughtful declutter strategies can make daily life easier without pushing yourself.I also talk about something many women struggle with. Asking for help.What if asking for support isn't failure?What if it's the missing piece when overcoming overwhelm?If you've ever felt guilty because your home doesn't look the way you think it should.If tidying feels impossible on low-energy days.Or if you want a calmer, more supportive environment without adding pressure.This episode is for you.I also reference an earlier episode with my friend Jane, episode 24, where we talked about adapting your home while living with serious illness. Jane was living with MS and using a wheelchair at the time. That conversation is still incredibly powerful, and I've linked it below.You'll also hear why getting your paperwork and everyday systems in order now can support you and your family in ways you might not expect.This is about decluttering with compassion.Organizing with intention.And creating a home that works with you, not against you.Links mentioned in this episode:• Episode 24 with Jane on adapting your home while living with illness• Join my free Facebook group for podcast listenersIf this episode made you think of someone else, share it with them.None of us are meant to do this alone.Thanks for listening!

This week I've been hit with the curse of low energy which is a part of existing with bipolar disorder; I have always existed at some point along the sine wave. The lows can be just as bad as the highs although the highs can lead to making crazier decisions. When I'm low I just sleep a lot. So because I'm sleeping a lot, I might as well journal the dreams that I've been having. I hope you all are having a good week whenever and wherever you happen to listen to this.Support the show

Do you feel heavier, more tired, or spiritually foggy during the darker winter months?  Let's talk honestly about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), what's actually happening in your body, how reduced light affects your emotions and motivation, and why this struggle doesn't mean your faith is weak. Seasonal Affective Disorder doesn't always announce itself clearly. For many women, it shows up quietly, through lower energy, emotional heaviness, irritability, foggy thinking, or a sense of spiritual distance they can't quite explain. In this episode, I wanted to make this real and human by sharing stories from three women, Chrissie, Melody, and Beth, whose experiences reveal how differently Seasonal Affective Disorder can affect emotions, energy, and faith, especially in darker seasons. This conversation isn't about diagnosing yourself or forcing solutions. It's about understanding what darkness does to the body and nervous system, and how God meets us with compassion instead of shame. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: [00:00] Why Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Real and Why It Affects So Many Women [04:00] What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder and How Does Reduced Light Impact Emotions and Energy? [08:00] Why Does Winter Darkness Affect Motivation, Mood, and Spiritual Clarity? [12:00] How Different Women Experience SAD in Unique Emotional and Physical Ways [17:00] Why Experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder Doesn't Mean Your Faith Is Weak [18:00] How Can SAD Be Reframed as a “Wilderness Season” Instead of a Personal Failure? [22:00] How God Uses Darker Seasons to Invite Deeper Awareness and Growth [23:00] Using the A.D.D.

When fatigue lingers, it can be a sign that the body's ability to produce energy isn't functioning the way it should. Could that be what's happening in your case?. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Scott Sherr to explain why energy dysfunction is so common in chronic illness, and how methylene blue is being used clinically to support mitochondrial function, oxidative stress balance, and detoxification.I also explain why this topic is especially relevant for people with thyroid and autoimmune conditions, based on what I see regularly in practice. We finish by discussing nervous system regulation, GABA support, and why calming the stress response is often necessary before energy can truly improve.If you've been feeling worn down despite “doing all the right things,” this episode will help you think differently about what your body may actually need.Episode Timeline: 00:02 – Episode Introduction01:43 – Dr. Scott's Background06:26 – When Hyperbaric Helps08:59 – Hyperbaric and Chronic Illness12:51 – What Is Methylene Blue13:10 – Why Methylene Blue Helps18:04 – Why Energy Breaks Down19:09 – Detox and Antioxidant Support23:09 – Antimicrobial Effects Explained26:59 – Acute vs Chronic Dosing29:20 – Methylene Blue for UTIs32:04 – Safety and Side Effects37:33 – Thyroid and Autoimmune Support38:55 – Energy Changes in Thyroid Patients41:54 – Who Should Not Use42:16 – Product Quality Differences51:55 – Understanding the GABA System52:41 – GABA, Anxiety, and Sleep59:49 – When GABA Support Helps1:03:06 – Final Thoughts and ResourcesAbout Dr. Scott Sherr: Is a Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician certified to Practice Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) and a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) specialist.

Hey friend,  Are you always tired, foggy, or inflamed — even on days when you don't do much? Do you forget to drink water because your nervous system is already maxed out by the pace and sensory load of your home? What would change if one simple habit made it easier to get through the day without pushing yourself? Hi friend, I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and find steadier footing — even in the middle of a full, demanding life. In this episode, I walk you through one of the simplest ways to support your body when you're dealing with chronic symptoms in a high-stress, neurodivergent household: hydration. You'll learn how drinking about half your body weight in water supports inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, cortisol levels, joint comfort, and nervous system balance — all things that are heavily affected by stress, poor sleep, and constant emotional and sensory demand. I also share practical ways to make hydration fit into real life, even when your days are busy, loud, unpredictable, and low on energy.

If you've done the mindset work, built the awareness, and still feel pulled back into anxiety or overdrive, this episode will make sense of what's happening.Because most of the time, it's not your thoughts that are the problem.It's the subconscious beliefs driving them.In this conversation, I'm joined by Tim Shurr, a master hypnotist with decades of experience helping high-achievers release the beliefs underneath anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism. We talk about why so many patterns persist despite years of mindset work, talk therapy, or self-awareness — and how hypnosis works at the level where real change actually happens.This episode demystifies hypnosis, explains why it can create rapid and lasting shifts, and explores how unconscious beliefs formed early in life continue to shape our stress responses as adults.In this episode, we cover:Why subconscious beliefs drive burnout, anxiety, and perfectionismHow unconscious “life rules” get installed and shape behaviorWhy talk therapy can feel like managing symptoms instead of changing patternsWhat hypnosis actually is and how it creates rapid changeWhy worthiness is often the core belief underneath overachievementHow people-pleasing and perfectionism are stress responses, not personality traitsWhy old patterns return — and how to reinforce real, lasting changeIf you're a high-achiever who has done the work, read the books, tried the tools — and still feels like something invisible keeps pulling you back into the same loops — this episode will help you understand what's really happening and show you a new way forward.Press play if you're ready to stop managing symptoms and start changing the beliefs running your life.Related Episodes:Previous EpisodeAre You High or Low Energy?

Putin's friend in the White House may be back in his safe space with his kindred spirit in Moscow, but Trump is finding that he has limited leverage on Ukraine to end the war on Putin's terms. He wants so badly to be crowned the ‘Prince of Peace,' but he has no vim and vigor to get there—and Zelensky actually said “No” to Trump. Meanwhile, the Gaza ceasefire looks precarious. Plus, former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on stepping away from the two-party system, the lingering anger over how Trump was allowed to win, and the fallout from emphasizing Biden's legacy at the expense of Kamala's ‘24 campaign.
