Send us a textWhat if the reason growth feels so hard is because we expect it to be easy? In this episode, we unpack why personal growth can feel awful—and why that's not a bad thing. We explore how chasing quick fixes keeps us stuck and how shifting from “avoiding pain” to “building bravery” can change everything. If you've ever felt like giving up on your growth journey, know that you're not alone. We're in this with you. Tune in for real stories, mindset shifts, and the support you need to keep going—even when it's tough.Here's the episode related to today's discussion and why we highly recommend listening to it as well:#347 | Why You Need Self-Accountability - https://apple.co/3XVnJ8p #351 | How to Make Friends with Pain - https://apple.co/41PRxWw Out of the Mud (OOTM): “The Tools To Ask For What You Need” - https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/4DAIOl8AQaiavbfY38W4bA#/registrationLearn more about the On-Demand Therapy - #YouDoYou Program: https://evolveventurestech.com/therapy/_________________Connect with Emilia, Bianca & the EVOLVE VENTURES Community:Website: http://www.evolveventurestech.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/evolveventures/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/EvolveVenturesTech (Public Page)Evolve Ventures Society (Private Facebook Group) - https://www.facebook.com/groups/457130589193794Emilia's IG - https://www.instagram.com/evolvewithemilia/Emilia's TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@evolvewithemiliaBianca's IG - https://www.instagram.com/evolvewithbianca/Bianca's Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@evolvewithbianca?_t=8gq3wqu4fAx&_r=1 Connect with Emilia & Bianca from Evolve Ventures for FREE: https://bit.ly/3THiEN4Show notes:(2:41) Why we expect growth to be easy(5:01) The trap of chasing quick fixes(8:11) Pain as a tool for healing(10:11) Stop avoiding pain—build tolerance(12:54) Bravery Vs.

A recent study finds that living near a highway could have a negative impact on people's social lives. Lead author Luca Aiello hypothesized that if residents can't walk around their communities easily, then they're likely meeting fewer people. Plus, nine San Diego university students have had their visas revoked. It's part of a wave of visa revocations happening across the U.S. And the family of a man arrested during an immigration raid in El Cajon in March is fighting to keep him in the country.
Why does it seem so much easier to make friends when we're younger? And how can we make friends more easily as we become adults? Hope Kelaher, author of Here to Make Friends: How To Make Friends as an Adult, shares her wisdom. We want to hear from you!

Friendship. It's a word that evokes warmth, nostalgia, and—if we're honest—a twinge of confusion. Because once upon a time, it was effortless. A shared lunch, a game of tag, and suddenly, a best friend was born. But then, something happened. Adulthood. And with it came the slow realization that making and keeping friends isn't just harder—it's an entirely different proposition.We've heard the lamentations before: Why is this so difficult? Why do friendships slip away? Why does it feel like rejection when it's just… life? Enter Caroline Maguire. She is no stranger to the complexities of human connection. A coach, a teacher, and the award-winning author of Why Will No One Play with Me?, Caroline has made it her life's work to decode the unspoken rules of friendship—especially for those with ADHD.Today, she returns to the podcast with answers and a roadmap. What if the secret to adult friendships isn't just about finding the right people, but about understanding the invisible structures that hold relationships together? What if the problem isn't you, but the way we misjudge who is truly a friend? What if, in our rush to connect, we're skipping the essential steps that turn acquaintance into ally?From the hidden psychology of trust to the overlooked power of consistency, this episode pulls back the curtain on the friendships we crave—and the ones we lose. Pete wrestles with the ghosts of old friendships, Nikki examines the seasons of connection, and Caroline offers not just wisdom, but action. Because friendship, like any great endeavor, requires more than just longing. It requires intention.Links & NotesCaroline Maguire on Instagram: @authorcarolinemWhy Will No One Play With Me? by Caroline MaguireJoin the Taking Control: The ADHD Discord CommunitySupport the Show on Patreon (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (01:36) - Support the Show: Become a Patron..

Your body might be fighting against you when you push too hard in exercise, activating powerful compensatory mechanisms that can undermine your goals. In this eye-opening episode, we cover the critical "compensation theory of exercise" that reveals why high-intensity workouts often lead to less overall activity and compromised metabolic health. Brad Kearns, co-author of Born to Walk, makes a compelling case for walking as not merely another exercise option but a fundamental human necessity—as essential as sleep—supporting everything from brain health to hormonal balance.

The destructive "struggle and suffer" mentality sold by the fitness industry is leading to astonishing injury rates among runners while sabotaging our fat-burning capabilities. Former professional triathlete Brad Kearns challenges conventional exercise wisdom, revealing how the running boom created by cushioned shoes and cultural programming has led countless well-intentioned fitness enthusiasts into patterns of chronic injury, hormonal disruption, and sugar addiction. In his book, Born to Walk, he shares the "fat max heart rate" concept, which explains why gentler movement patterns—particularly walking—may better serve our health and longevity goals than the punishing cardio routines we've been programmed to believe are necessary!

Finding your people is serious business. Sometimes our people find us. Sometimes we have to say goodbye to a season and the people that we have loved. Sometimes we have to find new people. Sometimes we don't know what we are looking for in friendships. Sometimes we know that we need people to complete something deeply human in ourselves. To search for our people, we might ask ourselves these clarifying questions. Who am I looking for? What do I need in my people? When can I find my people? Where are my people? Why do I need people? How can I build my community of people? Choose with intention.

Proverbs 26:20-22For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases. 21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife. 22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. Fires burn only because you put fuel into the fire. And even though Gossip is as delicious as a morsel, we must check ourselves so that we are not adding fuel to the fire.

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're talking connection, vulnerability, and the importance of friendship with friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson! Friendships are one of the most essential and beautiful parts of life, yet can sometimes feel complicated, messy, and downright hard to navigate. Don't worry, we got you! A few of the questions explored in this conversation are: Why is it so tough to make new friends as an adult? How can we move beyond the surface and build real, meaningful connections? And what does it actually mean to "be yourself" in friendships? Danielle guides us through these situations and so much more. We'll talk about social anxiety and introversion, how to embrace vulnerability with a powerful reframe, and how we can go deeper in our connections. We also break down friendship dynamics, like what to do about one-sided friendships, the “hibernation friend,” how to handle jealousy or gossip, and even friendship breakups. Finally, we end with a full circle moment coming back to the theme of connection and how we can all level up our friendship game.

Jeanette Leardi is a social gerontologist and aging wellness leader who invites us to “cock your head to the side and ask, Am I think about aging in the right way?” Jeanette's blog, Ageful Living, inspired her recent book, Aging Sideways: Changing Our Perspectives on Getting Older. She challenges the message of ‘gendered ageism' that “women are never the right age in our society.” She reframes limiting metaphors such as ‘over the hill' to viewing women as “master climbers and changers.” Jeanette praises the plasticity of the aging brain for being able to take shortcuts and see different perspectives. She proposes a ninth stage to Erikson's eight stages of personality development: “transcendence and unity—seeing ourselves as part of all that is.” Connect with JeanetteEmail: jeanette@jeanetteleardi.comWebsite: https://www.jeanetteleardi.comBook: Aging Sideways: Changing Our Perspectives on Getting Older.

The loneliness epidemic continues to grow. While it might be tempting to diagnose the contributing factors such as Covid-19, social media, or the rise of the one-person household; the reality is connection between humans has always been complicated. The faithful questions we need to wrestle with are, “What is God's response to our loneliness, and does the church have a role to play?” Throughout scripture, we read about a triune God who exists in perfect community all the time and actually sets up social structures in families and the church to help us ward off isolation. But considering that loneliness is only growing in our world, something must be off about the way we're trying to live out God's design for human connection today. This week we wrap up our series, Church, But Make It Better, and explore the question, “How do I Make Friends at Church?” Won't you join us?
We all want more meaningful connections, but how do we actually make them happen? Like, you see someone online and think, Damn, this girl should be my friend—but what's the next move?

I'm an introvert and mostly a home-body. As a kid, everyone said I was shy. I was not popular at school and when I became unexpectedly pregnant at a relatively young age, I felt like a bit of an outcast. So how did I create the healthy and vibrant community of friends I have now?

And we find out about the mental health benefits of making connections. Our guests are Hannah Brosnan, Executive Director of Mental Health America of Kentucky, and friendship researcher Dr. Jeffrey Hall, Director of the Relationships and Technology Lab at the University of Kansas.
