Could your racing thoughts and underlying anxiety be causing your mysterious hives, heart palpitations, and unexplained allergic reactions? After my own shocking hive outbreak following surgery and Bali belly, I dove deep into the world of histamine and mast cells. Dr. Jessica Peatross, the MD who's become known as the "surgeon of figuring out what's really going on," reveals why your nervous system might be the hidden trigger behind your mystery symptoms. She explains why midlife women suddenly develop histamine issues out of nowhere, the shocking connection between anxiety and mast cell activation, and why your body might be pushing toxins out through your skin when it can't eliminate them normally. We dive into game-changing protocols including specific binders that act like sponges for excess histamine, why addressing your gut is non-negotiable, and how a simple dissolving strip might calm your overactive mast cells. Dr. Jess shares her "magic trick" binder protocol, explains which supplements actually work for mast cell stabilization, and reveals why treating the nervous system FIRST is crucial for any healing protocol to work. Whether you're dealing with unexplained hives, chronic inflammation, or mystery symptoms that appeared out of nowhere, this conversation will change everything you thought you knew about histamine and healing.

This is where the real battle is won or lost. Let's explore how to excel in this critical area.The Importance of Structure: Legal writing demands clarity and precision. Frameworks like IRAC (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion) and its variations are non-negotiable. They provide the guardrails that keep your argument coherent and focused, especially under the pressure of timed exams.Connecting Rules to Facts: The word "because" is your best friend in legal analysis.

For instance, stating "The defendant was negligent because he was texting while driving through a school zone" shows a clear connection between the rule and the facts.Leveraging Precedent: Analogizing and distinguishing are key strategies in legal argumentation. When a precedent supports your case, draw parallels to strengthen your argument. Conversely, when a precedent is unfavorable, highlight factual differences to argue why it shouldn't apply.Mastering the application section of legal exams requires a blend of structured thinking, precise language, and strategic use of precedent.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with my buddy Chad Sylvester to break down what it takes to level up. We dig into his recent trip to Idaho—a hunt that didn't exactly go as planned but came loaded with lessons that stick. We talk about when to double down on what you do best and when to push past your comfort zone to grow as a hunter. From understanding terrain-specific deer behavior to balancing specialization with adaptability, this one's all about the mental side of the game—how you think, adjust, and evolve season after season. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 464 Mastering your whitetail hunt requires a diverse toolkit and adaptable mindset. Specialization builds confidence but can narrow your perspective. Chad's Idaho hunt delivered hard-earned lessons and real-world insights. Micro-terrain and historical data hold the keys to consistent deer encounters. Familiarity bias can stall growth—explore new ground and learn from it. Listening to what the hunt tells you is often more valuable than any plan.

Is everyone around you planning dream retirements while you're wondering if you'll be working forever? If you're lying awake at night worried about finances, feeling like you're the only one who didn't figure out this money thing, you're not alone, and this episode is your wake-up call + your action plan rolled into one. I invited my friend, an accomplished investor and financial savvy expert, Bret Johnson to share the exact strategies he used to transform his financial future later in life. From being behind the eight-ball to traveling abundantly and living without money stress, Bret breaks down the no-BS approach to building wealth when you think it's too late. We dive into the uncomfortable truths about why you're behind (spoiler: you were living life while others were investing), the simple 5-15% rule that changes everything, and why index funds might be your secret weapon for catching up fast. He discusses practical strategies for paying off debt, investing wisely, and building wealth, even if you feel you've started late. From addressing common concerns about feeling financially stuck to providing actionable steps you can take today, Bret's advice is invaluable. Plus, he shares his "stocks are on sale" mindset that transformed market crashes from disasters into opportunities. Whether you're starting from zero or trying to accelerate what you've already begun, this conversation delivers the practical steps, mindset shifts, and resources you need to stop worrying and start building the retirement you deserve.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Bret Johnson:    Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/bretjohnson11 Website ➜ https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheChaleneShow   Thank you to our show sponsors!

"All those little intangibles that are so nuanced, the great storytellers can put themselves physically and emotionally back in the story and bring you with them, and then somehow bring it back to you.” If you've ever felt like your life isn't interesting enough for the stage, Katie Quesada is here to change your mind. On this episode of The Speaker Lab, Katie and Grant Baldwin unpack what really makes stories memorable. Instead of rehashing a list of personal events, Katie encourages speakers to choose moments that spark connection. For example, she doesn't just share about living in an RV; she asks audiences, “Have you ever craved simplicity?” Suddenly, everyone relates.Her simple storytelling framework uses the Three Cs:Context: Set the scene, but skip the extra details. Give just enough info so listeners can picture what's happening.Conflict: Don't shy away from what was hard or scary. This is where real connection happens.Conclusion: Don't just wrap up with your own win. End on shared values, so the audience sees themselves in the story.Katie's practical advice is to test stories at dinner parties, coffee shops, or wherever you chat with friends. Notice what gets a reaction, and refine as you go. She recommends keeping a running note of story ideas and even using AI tools like ChatGPT to help organize and edit your thoughts. And when it comes to humor, focus on levity. You don't need punchlines; just offer moments for your audience to breathe and relate. You don't need a dramatic life event. Look for everyday moments that mean something, keep your stories concise, and always connect back to your listener!You'll learn:Creating shared meaning with the audienceDifferences between personal stories, borrowed anecdotes, and historical narrativesCutting unnecessary details from your speakingBalancing struggles with authenticityMoving from moments to meaningEmotional resonance as the driver of behavioral changePracticing energy, expressiveness, and nuanced deliveryAnd much, much more!“Authenticity is going to be what cuts the noise of becoming a stereotype, especially in the speaking space.”Episode ResourcesKatie's WebsiteGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week I'm joined by Amy Marie Hann, better known online as The Activated ADHD Mama. Amy's an ADHD coach, community leader, and author who specializes in helping ADHD moms wrangle the boring, repetitive tasks that tend to bury us, things like dishes, meal planning, and remembering to call in prescription refills. In our conversation, we talk about why traditional productivity advice often doesn't work for ADHD brains and why these mundane tasks can create so much stress and shame. We dig into some of Amy's strategies that helps people build realistic systems to make those things easier and how starting with just three daily tasks can create stability when your brain constantly craves novelty. We talk about capacity, executive function burnout, and how to reframe self-care and rest as functional tools instead of guilt trips. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/253 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips Work on designing your routines for your actual capacity, not your fantasy capacity. Pay attention to your natural energy rhythms and give yourself permission to do less when you're depleted. It's often not about how long a task takes but about how hard it feels. Build self-compassion by celebrating when you complete these high-resistance tasks and noticing the effort you've put in. There is a distinction between rest and numbing, so we need to plan intentional rest that actually restores our energy. ADHD rest is often about lowering stimulation, not eliminating it. Try for something gentle but engaging enough that your brain doesn't go looking for a dopamine hit elsewhere.  

This episode flips the mic to dissect iconic movie sales scenes—especially the legendary real estate monologue from "Glengarry Glen Ross"—with Travis and producer Eric swapping stories from the trenches of commission sales. They break down the psychology of high-pressure closing, how silence can be an indispensable tool, and why consultative selling beats boiler room tactics for long-term success. What real sales moments get right—and wrong—in famous movies The thrill and dread of securing deals in 100% commission environments Why holding the silence is harder (and more effective) than most people realize The difference between authoritative vs. assumptive closes—and why discovery sets you up for the sale The emotional rollercoaster of sales jobs, from adrenaline rushes to crushing self-doubt Use silence as leverage; resist the urge to talk past your own close—let the prospect sit with the decision. Great sales begins with genuine discovery and honest self-selection—you want lifetime clients, not regret-fueled chargebacks. The close should be the natural conclusion to a quality conversation—practice assumptive and options-based closing for better results. "Most people just can't stand the awkward silence, but in sales, that's your friend—it gets the prospect thinking, and helps you avoid talking yourself out of a deal." "Don't overcome objections that haven't been spoken—otherwise, you talk yourself out of the sale." "Consultative selling doesn't force the close; it builds trust, clarity, and repeat business in the long run." ✖️✖️✖️✖️

What makes a truly unforgettable client experience? In this episode of The Sales Maven Show, host Nikki Rausch sits down with Rosemary Lewis, coach, author, and real estate broker, to unpack how intentional design and heartfelt connection turn ordinary client experiences into lasting relationships. Rosemary, team lead at RL Realty Group and creator of Real Estate Besties, shares how she combines strategy, faith, and authenticity to build a brand that keeps clients coming back again and again. From the moment guests walk into one of Rosemary's events, they're met with warmth, care, and purpose. She believes that exceptional client experiences start long before the sale—by considering the fears, hesitations, and sacrifices clients make just to show up. Every color choice, every greeting, and every activity at her Real Estate Bestie Experience conference is crafted to make attendees feel valued, seen, and celebrated. As Nikki observed firsthand while speaking at Rosemary's event, the energy in the room was electric. Women weren't just attending a conference—they were forming friendships, collaborating on business opportunities, and building confidence that would ripple long after the weekend ended. Throughout the conversation, Rosemary reveals that her success stems from an empathetic approach: she puts herself in her clients' shoes and anticipates their emotional needs. Her focus isn't just on teaching real estate strategy but also on creating transformation through connection and faith. That commitment extends beyond the event itself—her programs, podcast, and community all reinforce the same message: growth happens when you invest in yourself and others. Nikki and Rosemary also discuss the mindset shift required to move from spending to investing—in time, money, and personal growth. Rosemary explains how she helps clients overcome fear and recognize their own worth, creating environments where women support one another rather than compete. She's proof that when you design client experiences rooted in empathy, faith, and service, loyalty becomes natural. By the end of the episode, listeners are left inspired to rethink how they engage with their own clients. It's not just about delivering value—it's about crafting moments that make people feel understood, appreciated, and motivated to keep coming back. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to elevate their client experiences from transactional to transformational. Nikki invites you to join the Sales Maven Society.

The year was 1938. Families across America gathered, listening during the golden age of radio. On the eve of Halloween, a broadcast interrupted their evening: A live report claimed Martian cylinders had landed in Grovers Mill, New Jersey. Within minutes, panic erupted as citizens fled their homes, convinced Earth was under alien attack. The entire event was fake. It was a perfectly executed radio drama by 23-year-old Orson Welles. Here's the sales lesson tucked into The War of the Worlds sci-fi scare: Welles wasn't just reading a script. He was executing a masterful lesson in emotional engagement. He had listeners hooked, buying into his story emotionally before their brains had time to register, "Wait, this can't be real."  That emotional buy-in is a core tenet of sales: People buy on emotion and then justify it with logic and facts. If rational adults can flee their homes over a fictional Martian invasion, imagine the force of emotion you can unleash when you find your prospect's emotional trigger. Sharpen your emotional intelligence, and you deploy a powerful sales tool. Emotion Gets the Attention, Data Seals the Deal Welles sold tension, uncertainty, and gravity, not a product. His voice was calm yet urgent, delivered with the authority of a trusted news anchor. The audience felt an adrenaline surge—heartbeats rising, eyes widening—before they had time to check the facts. This is the non-negotiable first step in sales. Your passionate storytelling creates the emotional charge. Your tone carries more weight than any spreadsheet full of ROI data. Emotion gets your buyer leaning in and invested in the outcome. The data you provide simply helps them sleep well at night after they've already made their decision. If your message isn't landing, stop reviewing your product deck and start analyzing your delivery. Are you speaking with urgency, and are you connecting to their emotional state? Without that emotional resonance, even the best solution just adds to the noise. Authority Isn't Arrogance, It's Command Welles dressed his fictional story in familiar trappings like live news bulletins, eyewitness reports, and crackling radio static. Each detail made the unbelievable feel legitimate. He commanded belief by establishing immediate, undeniable authority. Bring that same presence to your sales interactions. Authority isn't arrogance; it's commanding belief. Sound like someone who's been there, knows the terrain, and has the solution. Communicate with unwavering authority, and you build trust before price discussions begin. This is how you sell the experience. Prospects must believe in you and your company; belief in your product comes next. They buy the experience of working with you before seeing the product. If you sound uncertain, you'll never build a foundation of trust. Stay Steady to Control the Chaos Welles predicted a strong reaction to his broadcast and stayed calm, controlled the narrative, and guided the audience through the panic he was creating. In sales, moments of crisis or uncertainty test your professionalism. When a prospect goes cold, objections arise, or a competitor attacks, do not panic. Do not mirror their anxiety—it only feeds chaos and cedes control of the deal. Control the process, control yourself, control the outcome. When deals wobble and emotions spike in your buyer, that is your moment to shine. Breathe, slow down, ask questions, and lead steadily. Be the calm voice that reassures, guides, and inspires confidence. Mastering internal composure is the essence of emotional intelligence in sales.  Your Action Plan: Develop Your Sales EQ Mastering composure under pressure is a skill, not a gift. It requires commitment to developing emotional intelligence so you can use logic while others react in fear. Start a 'Rejection Journal' Drill. Stop letting rejection or setbacks paralyze you. Create a Failure Log to immediately document your feelings (frustration,

(00:01) Improving Aim in Golf Swing This chapter explores the importance of proper aiming in golf, inspired by a video from renowned golf teacher Kelly Stenzel. We address the common mistake of setting up to the ball before aiming and emphasize the correct order of aiming first, then setting up. We discuss how many golfers, like my regular playing partner, mistakenly think they are aligned correctly when they're not, leading to shots that miss their intended targets. The discussion highlights the need for golfers to recognize what good alignment looks like and the potential pitfalls of adjusting one's swing or grip unnecessarily due to poor alignment. By focusing on proper alignment and ball positioning, golfers can improve their accuracy and consistency on the course. (11:44) Improving Alignment for Golf Success This chapter explores the often-overlooked importance of proper alignment in golf. We discuss a real-life example of a student who believed he had a swing issue, but the real problem was his alignment and ball position. After addressing these factors, he consistently hit straight shots, showcasing how many golfers mistakenly focus on swing mechanics when alignment is the root cause of their problems. We emphasize the value of recognizing one's consistent swing patterns and how visual elements like trees can affect perception and performance on the course. The conversation highlights the common tendency among golfers to overcomplicate their technique, often influenced by instructional videos that don't address their specific issues, and the significant improvement that can be achieved by simplifying their approach and trusting their natural swing. (23:18) Defining Golf This chapter explores the multifaceted nature of golf and its classification as a sport, game, or athletic endeavor. We discuss the leisurely aspects of golf, emphasizing enjoyment and camaraderie, while acknowledging that many players seek improvement and competition, leading to a more serious approach involving fitness and practice routines. The conversation highlights the distinction between golf and traditional sports by noting the absence of direct human opposition in golf, with the course itself providing the challenge. We compare this to sports like football and baseball, where opponents actively try to thwart each other's success, reinforcing the unique nature of golf in the realm of athletic activities. (28:43) Defining Golf as a Sport This chapter explores the nuanced differences between sports and athletic endeavors. We discuss how activities like downhill skiing, water skiing, and triathlons require physical prowess but differ from sports like basketball, where there's a direct physical opposition from others. We also debate the nature of competition in sports, using examples like golf and the mental challenges faced by professional players such as Tiger Woods. Our conversation highlights how sports often involve mental and physical barriers, whether from opponents or the environment, and touches on the unique mental hurdles presented by spectators in golf. Finally, we invite listeners to explore our updated website, where they can access a treasure trove of past episodes, celebrating our 11-year journey and award-winning podcast legacy. (42:46) The Fun and Challenge of Golf This chapter focuses on the multifaceted nature of games, with a particular emphasis on golf as both a sport and a recreational activity. We explore the idea that games, including golf, are fundamentally meant for fun and socializing. There's a comparison to board games like Parcheesi and its modern counterpart, Sorry, illustrating the competitive and strategic elements that make games engaging. Golf, much like these games, offers enjoyment whether played for fun or competition. We discuss the satisfaction of improving one's skills and achieving scores closer to par, highlighting the joy and fulfillment that come from enhancing your game and reaching new personal milestones. Ultimately, this chapter underscores the importance of embracing the fun and challenge that golf provides, encouraging listeners to appreciate the game as a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
