Because it's kind of hard to become the version of yourself you want to be if you're not listening to the version of yourself that you are.Lesley Logan 0:08 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Brad Crowell 0:51 Take it away.Lesley Logan 0:52 Welcome back to the "Be It Till You See" interview recap, where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the informed convo I had with Dr. Amy Logan Tiffany in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to the interview, you missed on some good fucking stuff. Oh my god, I felt like my jaw was on the floor a couple of times. It was so good. But listen to this, then go listen to that. And spoiler alert: I already interviewed her for the second one. Yeah, I just did it yesterday.Brad Crowell 1:16 Wow, awesome!Lesley Logan 1:17 Because I was just, oh great, you're back, and it was really, really. It's a really nuanced conversation. I'll explain more later. But today, Brad's going to tell us what today is.Brad Crowell 1:26 Yeah, today's September 3rd 2026, and it is Merchant Navy Day. What is a merchant navy? You ask. Let's start with what it's not. The regular navy is a branch of the countries of a country's military responsible for national defense and maritime security. In contrast, a merchant navy or the merchant navy is a civilian commercial fleet that transports cargo and passengers globally to support international trade. So effectively, they work for a company that moves products around the world.Lesley Logan 1:53 You could be a merchant navy person and work for multiple different companies.Brad Crowell 1:57 That's right. So it has nothing to do with military. It has everything to do with being a ship pilot on a cargo ship, or even a deckhand, or whatever. If you're working in the ports, I'm not sure if you're on ports, if you're part of the merchant navy, but if you're on the boats that are driving around the world, you're.Lesley Logan 2:12 Like part of the merchant corporate.Brad Crowell 2:17 Sure. Not a pirate. Lesley Logan 2:19 Good, but a pirate.Brad Crowell 2:20 Pirates are real, so yeah, they're definitely not pirates. Okay, yeah, but the merchant navy actually would fight pirates. They're.Lesley Logan 2:26 Like a consumer sailor.Brad Crowell 2:28 Yes, yeah, it's like a, yes, that's right, a commercial sailor.Lesley Logan 2:32 Commercial sailor.Brad Crowell 2:33 Yes.Lesley Logan 2:34 Yeah.Brad Crowell 2:34 Yeah. But it's probably not sailing a boat so much as it is sailing a vessel. Lesley Logan 2:38 Vessel, yeah.Brad Crowell 2:39 Anyway, so Merchant Navy Day sails into view every September 3. Cute, a dedicated time to honor the invaluable contributions of merchant seafarers worldwide. These brave men and women ensure the flow of goods, fuel, and food that powers our daily lives and economies. Take a moment to learn about their sacrifices, support maritime welfare charities, and recognize their often unseen work.Lesley Logan 3:00 I couldn't imagine they're probably on these boats for months at a time.Brad Crowell 3:04 Oh, months.Lesley Logan 3:04 Months.Brad Crowell 3:05 Months. I mean.Lesley Logan 3:06 Months on one plate, and then have to come back. They might not ever see their family.Brad Crowell 3:09 Yes, yeah. So it's absolutely the case. And for example, when I used to work in skin and hair care, we used to manufacture the, the glass was actually manufactured in Korea, and so I would have to organize the factory to take it to the port, and then the port would put it on a, it would be in pallets, and then the pallets would get loaded into a container, those 40-foot containers, and then the container would go on this massive cargo ship, and then it would drive across the ocean. It'sLesley Logan 3:41 Like the size of cruise ships, but just for products.Brad Crowell 3:43 Yeah, and then one year there was a strike for the union workers at the port in Long Beach, and I remember our cargo ship got stuck in a line. Lesley, there was a line of 50 cargo ships.Lesley Logan 3:58 Do you remember? Because during the pandemic, it's even happened. I feel like our friend Joe Lilly had to send a ship out to a ship to get his stuff. It was a whole thing because there's, what the fuck? We got to get these products off the ship.Brad Crowell 4:09 Yeah, and that's very dangerous to do that stuff, you know, on the open water like that because there's just complicated.Lesley Logan 4:14 Yeah, so pirates.Brad Crowell 4:15 Well, not. I mean, when you have 50 boats in a row, there's unlikely that there's going to be pirates because there's also going to be the navy, the military, oh, the military navy, yeah, will be out making sure that everything is safe. But still, regardless, yeah, I mean, so they had to sail across the ocean, and then they turn around and they have to go back. But the company that they work for, they might be in a whole other country. It's like an airline pilot.Lesley Logan 4:37 Yeah.Brad Crowell 4:37 You know, for example, one time we were flying to Cambodia, and we were flying through China. And I think maybe it was just me. I sat next to a guy on the plane who was a pilot, and he's from Brazil, flies for a Chinese airline, and then his Chinese flights would go to Europe. His home is in Brazil. He had to fly to China to get on his flight, his job, to fly to Europe, back and forth to China, you know what I mean.Lesley Logan 5:02 Got to.Brad Crowell 5:03 Move, got to move.Lesley Logan 5:04 Got to move. Anyway, anyway, we have to point out what's going on right now.Brad Crowell 5:09 Yeah, what I wanted to point out right now is that at the time of this recording, there are around 6000 commercial seafarers remaining stranded aboard hundreds of merchant ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz following the sudden collapse of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement, so shipping through this vital energy corridor has ground to a near standstill due to the drones and missiles and all the signs that are goingLesley Logan 5:33 Oh, yeah.Brad Crowell 5:33 So hopefully by the time you're hearing this episode, trade is going to flow again, and there are no more trapped sailors. But it's been devastating. You know, they're not military. They're just trying to do their job, and they're stuck on these ships. And they're not getting food. And if they're getting sick, there's no way to get to them to even give them the supplies that they need. It's quite a problem. And sometimes it feels like it's getting solved, and then it all goes to shit again. So hopefully. Lesley Logan 5:57 I know we're over here talking about our gas prices, but there's literal people whose they're not involved with any country or military, and they're just trying to do their job and they're stuck.Brad Crowell 6:05 Yep. Yeah. So just raising awareness and a big, big shout out to those who do this kind of work for their job. Thanks for doing all that because you make the world go round.Lesley Logan 6:14 Yeah. Well, speaking of the world going round, I started teacher training program.Brad Crowell 6:20 Wow. Yeah.Lesley Logan 6:21 You know, because we got to keep bringing in new people to the Pilates industry. Brad Crowell 6:25 Yes, we do. Lesley Logan 6:25 Because some of us are going to retire someday. So, if you heard the rumor that I started teacher training program, I did. I'm here to let you know it's true, and it's called upLift. Starting early next year, you'll be able to find an epic teacher trainer near you that will host my program. I'm going to work alongside them, guiding them and coaching them and supporting them so that they can support you on your journey. So if you are a new teacher or partially trained Pilates instructor, if you want to study under what I've created and my material, you want to go to xxll.co/uws. That's upLift waitlist student, xxll.co/uws. If you're already a comprehensively trained teacher and you're looking for more of a master's program and you want to learn directly with me, that is going to be our eLevate program. That's lesleylogan.co/elevate. We are filling 2028 as we speak. 2027 is full, and only eLevate grads can apply to be an educator for upLift. So, just some food for thought on that. We have been home from our summer tour for a little bit, and we are hanging out. We're doing some good stuff. I'm super excited to be home because it's going to get real crazy real quick. But we want to say thank you to Balanced Body because they sponsored our tour. We're able to go to some really great new cities on our summer tour, and our winter tour will announce in less than a month. And you want to be on the wait list for that, opc.me/events, because the winter tour always does sell out really quickly, really quick, really quickly because we get to hit a lot of cities, a lot of little cities where stuff doesn't go to like conventions and things like that. We get to hit some of our favorite cities. Shout out to Hershey because you always sell out in some places like that. So make sure you are over there. Supporting this podcast when you listen and you share with friends and you leave reviews is one of the greatest things you can do. It's totally free, and I really, really appreciate it. But if you want to continue support the podcast in other ways, if you are an OPC member, that's one of my ways you can do that. And then you get Pilates, and you get support, and you get community, and you get my feedback on your form. So you can go to onlinepilatesclasses.com, or you can also check out our amazing flashcards. Our flashcards are different pieces of apparatus. They're for anyone who loves Pilates. They can be used in a variety of different ways, and you can go to opc.me/flashcards for that. By the way, when you buy our flashcards, a part of your purchase goes to Nevada SPCA. And you might be thinking, Lesley, I don't live in Nevada. Yeah, well, guess what? We got some dogs and cats and bunnies and chinchillas here. Sometimes some lizards that need a home, and you are helping do that. In fact, our last quarter donation supported 114 shelter animals' food for one whole week.Brad Crowell 8:50 Yeah.Lesley Logan 8:51 114.Brad Crowell 8:52 Yeah, that's pretty amazing.Lesley Logan 8:53 Yeah. So, anyways, you can also get our posters. So there's that opc.me/posters. Okay, this is getting longer and longer every week, Brad. Brad Crowell 9:02 Well, this is just quick. So, our upcoming travel stuff. We've got Cambodia coming up in October. If you want to join us on retreat there, get on the waitlist for next year. Go to crowsnestretretreats.com. Lesley and I are going to be in Sacramento for Balanced Body's 50th anniversary party. They have a POT happening in Sacramento, so you can go to xxll.co/pot for more information on that. Lesley's actually teaching in China. We have no idea how to tell you any more information about that. But that's exciting.Lesley Logan 9:27 I don't have any links. But, I'm teaching in China. The second annual Pilates summit outside of Shanghai.Brad Crowell 9:33 Yeah, that's in November. Then the beginning of December, you're teaching in India in Goa.Lesley Logan 9:38 Yeah, and am I crazy enough to go back and forth? Yes, I fucking am.Brad Crowell 9:41 Because you're flying literally to meet me in Denver, and we go on a winter tour. Lesley Logan 9:44 And also, I can't live in any of these places. I have to come home.Brad Crowell 9:50 Let's roll straight into the charity of the week. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and we're very, very excited to talk about AFSP or the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. It is the nation's leading suicide prevention organization, founded in 1987, and now working through 73 chapters in all 50 states, D.C. and Puerto Rico. The AFSP funds research into what actually prevents suicide, trains clinicians and everyday people to recognize warning signs, supports survivors of loss, and it pushes for policy change, most of it funded not by big checks, but by hundreds of 1000s of small donors, just like you and I, showing up during their Out of the Darkness community walks nationwide. So they do an event, Out of the Darkness community walks, and that's what helps raise money. So it's about as trustworthy of a charity as it gets. They get a four-star exceptional rating from the Charity Navigator. Over 80% of every dollar going straight to their programs, and they have a top-rated distinction from Charity Watch, which is the toughest watchdog in the space. The AFSP also recently announced plans to merge with the Jed Foundation, becoming the country's largest suicide prevention organization, spanning every age group, so any donation is landing at a moment when their reach is about to grow. Suicide has touched your life or someone you love, and statistically, for a lot of our listeners, it has. Yeah, this is a place where showing up really helps. Find more, find out about your local chapter by going to afsp.org, afsp.org, and you can actually, in the United States, there is a suicide crisis lifeline. Instead of 911, it's 988, so you can call or text 988 for free, it's confidential, and it's 24/7. Yeah, so I didn't actually know about 988. I knew that there were prevention phone numbers you could call, but I didn't realize that it was as easy as that.Lesley Logan 11:39 It's important because we all have, we all have hard times. Mental health is a is something that should not be a privileged thing that some insurance companies cover. And then if you don't have that, you don't have that. We all are, no one is immune. And we had a dear friend who actually used to work for the Nevada chapter of the AFSP, AFSP, and I got to see the work that she did for two years, and it's really quite incredible what they're doing just to support people. And I can't think of, like, if you're needing community, what you can go be community for people who need it, and you'd be surprised how that can help. But if you need their help, definitely reach out or go to 988 because this is real shit, you know. So, anyways, what else, Brad? Oh, you guys can send in the charities you want us to shout out?Brad Crowell 12:21 Yeah, text us 310-905-5534. Yeah, stick around. We're gonna dig into this convo with Dr. Amy Loden. Brad Crowell 12:30 Welcome back. Let's talk about Amy Loden. Dr. Amy Loden, based in St. Louis, Missouri, nearly died from severe preeclampsia with heart failure during a high-risk twin pregnancy, an experience that exposed major gaps in conventional care and reshaped how she practices medicine. She's a physician, entrepreneur, and the founder of Vitality MWC, a practice focused on women's metabolic and hormonal health, guiding patients through postpartum recovery, perimenopause, and long-term hormonal balance. She's a TEDx speaker, and she also is the author of the Postpartum Pivot. I will have the link for her book in the show notes below.Lesley Logan 13:09 Important. If you had a baby, you need the book, and it's not, oh, I've had a baby 15 years ago. I think you need the book still. I think it's about all health stuff that happens if you've had babies.Brad Crowell 13:18 Yeah, and what a revealing conversation, you know, with her about what it does to what being pregnant and going through that does to the body and how it reveals things. I thought it was really interesting. So yeah. Anyway, what's one of the things you love that she said?Lesley Logan 13:34 Oh my God, there's so many good stuff. We talked. I mean, we talked about. You've also.Brad Crowell 13:37 Just blended two conversations. So.Lesley Logan 13:39 I'm gonna work on not doing that. We're gonna work on. I'm gonna. Well, I mean, you had.Brad Crowell 13:43 One yesterday. Forget.Lesley Logan 13:44 The one I had yesterday. So we talked about perimenopause, and it's very interesting because I think the way she talked about us in the past, people have treated perimenopause like yes or no. I don't have this thing. I have this thing. No, I don't have that thing. But actually, the symptoms are a sliding scale for every woman, and we all have to figure out where we are on the spectrum, which means we just have to be paying attention to our bodies, which is not easy to you when you're really busy and you've got a lot going on. But so she also said, you know, you are going to have those unpredictable ups and downs. There are going to be some months where your ovaries are working like fire, and you're just like, I'm amazing. There's other months where you just feel like you got run over by a truck. And I think it's really nice to have a doctor who's a female who says that because usually they're, oh, well, you don't have it that bad or we can give you these drugs to cover up those symptoms, but really she's talking aboutBrad Crowell 14:28 Or she said her own experience was, okay, you're within the numbers, see you next time, and that's it.Lesley Logan 14:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, and also it's like, okay, well, you're within the numbers, but are those the best numbers for you, you know? And so really filling out, you have to figure out where you are. You, my listener, have to figure out where you are, because that will help you advocate for what you need. And it's really important. I'm really grateful for the doctors that I've had because they can. They have said you are within range, but it's not optimal for you. So they were able to give me support so that I could be optimal for me, and I like how she, you know, perimenopause is like reverse adolescence, and it's like this, you know, you're when you're a young girl, you're going through all the puberty, and you have all the hormonal fluctuations, roller coaster rides, and all of a sudden, hopefully, hopefully you have some. I don't know, that wasn't my experience with periods, but like you have this nice, enjoyable couple decades, and then you reverse back. Yeah, it's like a.Brad Crowell 15:20 Reverse hormone, reverse puberty, reverse puberty. I was like, the word is there somewhere. Yeah.Lesley Logan 15:25 And somebody said, somebody said, who is the asshole who let mothers go through perimenopause when their daughters are going through puberty? And it's like, yeah, but remember, people used to have kids at 16, so that wasn't happening. Actually, but it's here's the thing: if you actually are really into perimenopause and loving women, if you do some historical work on what women's roles were, and I'm not talking about like the assholes or like what the grandma's roles, I'm not talking about that because I'm not a grandma. But the women who get after perimenopause, they became these healers and these doulas for the women who were having the babies and coming up, and they're also the ones that held the history and the stories, and so if we can think of it like that, it kind of makes us feel like we're going into our queendom, you know, like we're going in something cool. So she said, and in case you don't know this, it can run anywhere from 10 to 15 years for you actually go through menopause. And Brad's eyes just lit up, and just and then we've said on the podcast before, but menopause is one day.Brad Crowell 16:21 I was gonna say that. Yeah.Lesley Logan 16:22 It's one day, and then you're like post-menopause.Brad Crowell 16:26 And then.Lesley Logan 16:27 You're on the other side.Brad Crowell 16:28 You're on the other side.Lesley Logan 16:28 Yeah, and then and then if you're lucky, you get two years before you have the shittiest heart like men do. So like it's really fucking awful thing. So ladies, you want to keep your hormones going real well for a long, long time because it doesn't get easier.Brad Crowell 16:44 Yeah, she also did mention HRTs. She kind of didn't actually explicitly say that, but she mentioned that all the hormonal research that had been done in the early 2000s, a lot of that has been disproven and also challenged. And there's a lot more information about it now. So, you know, if you have an assumption that you about that that kind of stuff that you've had with you for a long time, I would recommend it's worth revisiting.Lesley Logan 17:08 I would agree with her. I know I've had women challenge me on this who've had family members with experience of breast cancer, and I understand their experience. But I am someone who has double the risk, and my breast doctor is not opposed to me being on HRT, and my gynecologist is not opposed to being on HRT. I'm not currently on estrogen either. I'm only on two of them, but they're not even opposed to me doing that because the risks of me having heart problems are greater, and I'm on a serious watch. So she.Brad Crowell 17:36 Did also mention that it's not for everybody. It can't be for everyone. Lesley Logan 17:39 No, nothing can be for everybody.Brad Crowell 17:40 Right. Right. So it's something for you to have that conversation with your healthcare provider.Lesley Logan 17:44 But I will also, before we move on, I want to just want to say, if you are worried about the breast cancer risks, there are ways to get tested multiple times a year. So I'm on an every-six-month test schedule, and so I still have decisions I probably want to think about, but also, I'm pretty sure they're going to catch it early because I'm going every six months. So it is a personal decision you must make, but please don't make it out of fear from people saying shit to you on the internet. Talk with your doctors.Brad Crowell 18:15 Yeah, yeah. One thing that I found really interesting about what she was talking about was the way that being pregnant and then going through the process of having a child or giving birth, she said, what it does is it actually unveils what was already there, right? So for her case, giving birth was a stress test on her body, and that it revealed what already was in her body. Yeah, you know, genetically probably.Lesley Logan 18:40 Wasn't coming up on any tests because it was probably in range. Yeah, we've had family members with this, and it makes me go and go, "Oh my God, we need to text them right now." Because there's things you can do when you're younger to take care of stuff that's harder to reverse when you're older.Brad Crowell 18:53 Yeah, sure. But she said that, you know, giving birth is a stress test of a woman's metabolism and cardiovascular system. She explained that culturally we view pregnancy and complications as something that where the answer is into the pregnancy and then it's gone. It happened during the pregnancy only and then afterwards they're all better.Lesley Logan 19:13 Right?Brad Crowell 19:13 Everything's good. It's gone.Lesley Logan 19:14 But it's not gone. The underlying condition still there.Brad Crowell 19:17 Yeah, exactly. She's saying that conditions such as the one she experienced, preeclampsia, it reveals underlying inflammation or insulin resistance that was a previous, you know, something her body was dealing with before. It just all of a sudden was stressed, and that's where something got stuck, right? So she said those conditions are not done after you've given birth. It's just simply something that's been unmasked by the physical toll of pregnancy, and once it's been unmasked, now you can treat it, and it's important to continue to treat it. And I think that's also why Lesley was suggesting at the beginning of the episode that her book is still valuable, even if you've had a child, you know, 15 years ago, because, you know, maybe maybe you did have something that went on. And you haven't looked at it as something that still exists in your body today that you will, you know, hopefully won't have to deal with, but you might have to deal with it as you age.Lesley Logan 20:08 Well, you have to listen to the episode because I have to listen to the episode because, my loves, women's heart conditions, the number one symptom for a woman having a heart problem is sudden death.Brad Crowell 20:20 Sudden death.Lesley Logan 20:21 Sudden death. I like. I think I like peeked the mic when I heard that. Brad Crowell 20:26 Yeah, I heard. I heard you in in my office. What?Lesley Logan 20:29 Yeah, yeah. So and I share that with you because unfortunately there still isn't enough information about women's bodies. A lot of information is still based off of men's bodies, and so tests and studies I've done on men only in the last decade-ish have they said you have to study these things on women, right? But we don't really know a lot of information that we should know by now. There should be information on that, and so why I'm like so insistent on you knowing this information is that when you're younger there are things that might look like they're in range, but if stressed, your body can't handle it. Now, stress is not a bad thing because you can also stress a body, and like your body responds the way it's supposed to.Brad Crowell 21:11 It gets stronger, and it.Lesley Logan 21:12 Gets stronger. Sure, but not every body does that because of genetics, because of too much stress, because of the fuel you're having with the sleep, where you are with your hormones. Did you have those things? And so it's just so important that we advocate for ourselves, my loves. Because, and I know, I know insurance is shit. Still got to do it.Brad Crowell 21:31 Yeah, got to do it. Well, stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna dig into these be it action items we have with Dr. Amy. Finally, let's talk about those. Be it action items, what bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted action items can we take away from your conversation with Dr. Amy Logan? She advises women to specifically pay attention to whether their vasomotor systems, hot flashes, night flashes, night sweats—sorry—are happening most days of the week or more than 10 times a day. If you hit that threshold and you choose not to take hormones, she warns you actually have an increased risk for cardiovascular disease or a stroke. Now, obviously, she's not your doctor, right, or our doctor, and she's not. This is like something for you to be aware of to take back to your doctor. But effectively, that's, you know, when she's talking with her patients. That's her barometer. That's her measuring stick. Lesley Logan 22:23 Can you imagine 10 hot flashes?Brad Crowell 22:26 I cannot.Lesley Logan 22:27 Because I don't even have them. But I can't even imagine. I saw that woman on Instagram where you could like see the hot flash, the one that went around. She had 10 of those a day. You have to take a shower. I don't even how you. I don't even know how you do it.Brad Crowell 22:38 Yeah. So while it's not a blanket prescription, she says, and not every woman in the category can or should take hormones. She said it's important for you to understand that that, you know, if you're hitting a point like that, you definitely want to seek professional help to get a medical assessment so that you can make a really informed decision about your health for your future. She urges this listeners not to base decisions on outdated fears. The hormones that we take today are different and safer than what was in the Women's Health Initiative that came out in the early 2000s. So, what about you?Lesley Logan 23:11 She said, "Be true to what your body is telling you." And I think this is really key because I think a lot of times we brush off or push things off or think we ate something bad that one time, or blah blah blah. But really, your body is talking to you, and it doesn't have to. We don't want to wait till it's in crisis, and then we don't want to go, "Oh my god, everything is wrong." We actually, if we were, if we're really paying attention to ourselves, we can start to spot patterns because the doctor cannot be with you every single day, so they are not going to spot the pattern. But you can bring them the pattern, and you are paying attention to yourself. You can do that, and so if you are struggling, you're doing all the things to sleep, and you're not sleeping. That is something you have to tell because your body is telling you, "I don't have the hormones and the things to sleep, which then all of a sudden everything is going to start to shut down in a terrible way when that happens. So make sure you're listening to your body, and you'll become more wise, and you'll even become a better version of yourself. And I thought, what better way to be it till we see it, but to listen to our body? Because it's kind of hard to become the version of yourself you want to be if you're not listening to the version of yourself that you are.Brad Crowell 24:12 That's true.Lesley Logan 24:13 Anyways, I'm telling you guys, my mind is blown and.Brad Crowell 24:16 We already had her back for another episode, so that's going to come out in the near future. Here, what was that topic about?Lesley Logan 24:22 It's a nuanced conversation about metabolism, and it's specifically for people who are in more of an insulin resistance. So it's not, it's going to sound like it's a weight loss conversation. We are not advocating that everyone needs to lose weight, but there's. Brad Crowell 24:35 She was talking about how movement is involved.Lesley Logan 24:37 Yes, right.Brad Crowell 24:38 And then movement. How soon after you've eaten should you be moving, and what kind of movement, and then also how often should you be eating?Lesley Logan 24:46 Yes, and all of that depends on your health.Brad Crowell 24:48 Yeah.Lesley Logan 24:48 Right. And your health is any different. The conversation is not about this weight is the healthy weight. It's not that at all, but that weight is one metric in the biometrics, and so we go into if you have this measurement off, what could also be affecting in the other biometrics, and then how do we address that? Because it's all part of the same wheel, right? When we ended the conversation, it's a very difficult conversation because I don't want anyone to be like, "This is for me," or "This is not for me," or "I don't. I can be healthy in sights, of course, and we have to go off of your blood tests and then your weight and your blood tests, and so it's this really interesting thing, and I really appreciate it because there is information. If you don't have any of these problems, you get to do your thing and have fun until hopefully forever. But if you are struggling with certain biometrics in your blood work and your weight is off, then it's not about losing weight, like every doctor tells you. It's about doing these things that she talks about to help you get your metrics to be where they need to be, and then the weight may or may not change, but the metrics will be better. Anyways, it's so good. I'm so excited about it. It's really great. So stay tuned. But until then, make sure that you send this to a woman in your life who needs to hear it because there's some epic medical information that no one has told me shocked the hell out of me. And then you can also reach out to Dr. Amy Loden if you would like to talk with her. If you live in the United States, so share with her what your takeaways were. All right. Until next time, Be It Till You See It.Brad Crowell 26:14 Bye for now.Lesley Logan 26:15 That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

>>Get the Wicked Smart Car Caddy series (audio tracks to 10X your confidence pre- and post-round) >>Read Jared Tendler's book, Everyday Golf Psychology In this episode, mental golf coach Michael Leonard goes from the interviewer to the client, seeking mental coaching to address his struggles with mid-round anger and control on the golf course. The session dives deep beneath the surface of these emotional outbursts to uncover the underlying anxieties about success, technical competence, and a desire to control the future. You will gain valuable insights on how to shift their perspective, own their mastered skills, and handle difficult external triggers with poise and precision. We'll cover: Coaches Need Coaching Too: The episode highlights the value of self-awareness and the willingness of a coach to raise their hand and ask for help to break through mental blocks. Anger as a Symptom: Emotional reactions on the course are discussed not as the core problem, but as a symptom of a collision between reality and a golfer's skewed perception of it. The "Is It Ever Going to Happen" Trap: The conversation exposes the anxiety of future-oriented thinking and how asking unanswerable questions about future success fuels frustration. Owning Your "C" Game: Michael is challenged to develop conscious ownership of his baseline technical skills through a daily five-minute reflection task to build a more solid foundation. Injecting Logic Statements: A tool is introduced to weaponize pre-made, logical thoughts in the moment of frustration to successfully lower emotional intensity on the green. Dealing with Course Bullies: The session links Michael's intense reactions to difficult pairings with childhood bullying, framing the solution around maintaining control through calm authority rather than fighting back.

Hospital M&A Is Up 33%, CommonSpirit Has 250 AI Tools Running & UHS Just Bought a Mental Health AppAugust 31st, 2026. Bo Brabo and Luke Carignan. Three stories, one theme: health systems are making big, deliberate moves. Merging before they have to, deploying AI at scale, and buying digital companies to own the front door to care.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has a formal diagnosis for caffeine withdrawal.It does not have one for postpartum psychosis.That's where this episode starts, and it turns out to explain almost everything about the six weeks that followed. As I record this, the jury in Plymouth has told the judge for the second time in two days that it cannot agree on whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible. Five weeks of trial. More than eighty witnesses. The judge has now read them the Tuey-Rodriguez charge, the last instruction he has, and under Massachusetts law he can't read it again without their consent. Twelve people who saw every exhibit can't get there. The internet got there in nine minutes. This episode is not about whether she's guilty. It's about the machine that spent August turning three dead children into content, and it hits everybody.The women who made this their entire personality: the pink shirts, the "Same, Lindsay" trend, a hundred and sixty-four thousand TikToks, twenty-five Etsy designs, a crowd cheering a defense attorney like he'd walked out of Selma, and a fifty-six-year-old woman arrested in a courthouse parking lot. And the men who decided the correct response to a psychiatric emergency was a constitutional amendment. A retired UFC champion who was calling to repeal the 19th two years before he'd ever heard her name. A podcaster on episode 1,825. A commentator who looked at a stranger holding her own baby and asked where CPS was. Also in here: Why parasocial defendant worship is a format and not a female pathology, and what ten thousand people mailing $290,000 to Luigi Mangione proves about that. The Andrea Yates conviction that got overturned because an expert witness testified about a Law & Order episode that had never been filmed. All 269 episodes were searched. It did not exist. Twenty-five years later, a major podcaster covering this case said out loud that he didn't need his story verified.The nine murder-suicides a week that nobody is holding a rally about, and why there is no federal database counting them. Three fathers who raised the exact defense Clancy is raising. Nobody proposed taking anyone's vote away. And the number that ends the argument: the UK has around 21 psychiatric units where a woman in this emergency is admitted with her baby. France has 15. The United States has four million births a year and zero. Six weeks of the loudest people in America screaming about dead children, and not one of them proposed a bed or a solution.

When people with ADHD struggle to start, return to, or finish a task, their inaction is frequently mislabeled as laziness, poor motivation, or chronic procrastination. In reality, the obstacle is rarely about logistics or effort. It stems from the emotional pre-work required just to get to the starting line. Brendan Mahan, an ADHD coach, speaker, host of the ADHD Essentials podcast, and author of Overcoming the Wall of Awful, joins Emily to talk about the emotional barriers that turn ordinary demands into overwhelming roadblocks. TAKEAWAYS Task paralysis is driven primarily by emotional labor and accumulated negative memories rather than simple executive dysfunction or laziness. The emotional work required to face an anxiety-provoking task is invisible from the outside, which often cause those around you to mistake genuine freeze states for willful procrastination. Smashing through emotional barriers using eleventh-hour panic and anger damages internal self-esteem and strains personal relationships. Putting a door in an emotional barrier involves shifting short-term states using external scaffolding such as body doubling, high-interest music, or novel environments. Climbing an emotional barrier requires a balance of active cognitive processing and passive mind-wandering to allow the brain's default mode network to metabolize stress. Healthy accountability separates functional impairments from moral worth by treating ADHD symptoms with the same matter-of-fact compassion as an asthma flare-up or chronic physical condition. Mental health clinicians: Telling a child about a new diagnosis can feel like navigating a minefield, but it doesn't have to.

In this milestone 500th episode of Better Call Daddy, host Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Will McKee, Jiu Jitsu black belt and founder of Asylum Jiu Jitsu in Aledo, Texas. Will shares his transformative journey from a 255-pound medical operations manager to a confident, mission-driven Jiu Jitsu practitioner shedding 60 pounds and rebuilding his mental health along the way. Will opens up about the physical and mental transformation he's experienced through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), emphasizing self-confidence, resilience, and discipline. He explains how he coaches kids to embrace competition without pressure, creating a gym culture where every student child or adult can grow, learn, and overcome real obstacles. The conversation dives into Jiu Jitsu culture at large: the balance between competition and personal growth, the importance of a safe training environment, and the darker sides of martial arts culture that Asylum Jiu Jitsu was built to push back against. Despite its name, Will explains, Asylum isn't a cage it's a place of refuge, structure, and freedom, closer to a monastery than an asylum in the traditional sense. Will also reflects on his own mental health struggles and how Jiu Jitsu became his sanctuary during the hardest chapters of his life. He shares stories of student progress, his approach to mentorship, and his mission to be the coach he wished he'd had growing up — shaped in part by his relationship with his own father. If you're interested in martial arts, BJJ, mental health, fitness transformation, or raising resilient kids, this milestone episode of Better Call Daddy delivers all of it.
On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared and Jen sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Roger McFillin for a challenging conversation about psychiatric diagnosis, mental health medications, and the medicalization of normal human struggle. Jen shares her experience of being prescribed Prozac at age 13 and spending decades living under diagnoses that shaped how she saw herself. Dr. McFillin explains why he has become an outspoken critic of his own profession and questions how conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD are diagnosed. They discuss the DSM, informed consent, psychiatric medications, emotional suppression, personal agency, and the powerful effect a diagnosis can have on identity. This conversation asks an important question: Are we helping people understand why they are struggling, or simply giving their struggles a name?Additional Information:Dr. Roger McFillin - Website + Podcast Dr. Roger McFillin Instagram Dr: Roger McFillin on X Dr. Roger McFillin Substack Center for Integrated Behavioral Health Jen's Story Episodes:264: Emotional Vitality423: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 2 - Rebalancing Mind and Body Through Supplementation438: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 3 - Weaning Off of Pharma457: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 4 - How Changing Your Mindset Can Change Your Life 505: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 5 - The Impact of Diet on Mental Health and Physical PainVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

We're living in the age of the quick fix. Three steps to happiness. One habit to eliminate anxiety. A supplement for every symptom. Enough already. Because grief is complicated. Mental health is complicated. Relationships are complicated. We are complicated. And when we reduce deeply human experiences into easy solutions, we don't just oversimplify the problem—we risk making people believe they're the problem. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil talks with Dr. Celeste Birkhofer, clinical psychologist, adjunct clinical faculty member at Stanford Medical School, and author of Beyond Quick Fixes. Together, they explore the five inner resources that support mental health, emotional resilience, healthy relationships, and personal growth—and why strengthening ourselves from the inside out matters more than finding the next hack. They explore: The five inner resources that create a stronger foundation for mental health and well-being How to develop a healthy sense of self, self-esteem, agency, and self-compassion Why coping strategies learned in childhood may no longer serve us as adults The difference between healthy coping and patterns of over-control, avoidance, numbing, or perfectionism Why strong relationships—and learning to tolerate disappointment and repair ruptures—are essential to well-being How to ask for the kind of support you actually need instead of expecting people to magically know Why self-compassion and personal growth can (and should) exist at the same time What the “wise self” is and how to strengthen and trust that internal voice Why professional mental health support matters when life becomes painful or overwhelming The work isn't to constantly fix ourselves. It's to know ourselves, strengthen ourselves, and build the inner resources that help us meet whatever life hands us with more capacity, compassion, resilience, and trust. Thank you to our sponsors!

Toxic relationships. Red flags. Emotional dependency. Validation. Faith. Healing. Mental health. Why do so many people stay in relationships they know are unhealthy?In Season 10, Episode 10 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast, Izzy Baker is joined by author, chaplain, entrepreneur, and relationship expert Dr. J.R. Andrews for one of the most honest conversations of the season about relationships, emotional health, self-worth, and why so many people repeatedly find themselves trapped in the same unhealthy patterns. Together they explore how toxic relationships affect mental health, spiritual growth, emotional stability, and the way people view themselves.The conversation begins with a powerful question: Does this relationship bring you closer to God or pull you further away from Him? From there, Izzy and Dr. Andrews dive into the reality that toxic relationships are not limited to dating. Sometimes toxic relationships can be friendships, family connections, business partnerships, or emotional attachments that have quietly become idols in our lives. They discuss why modern culture often romanticizes dysfunction, why chaos gets mistaken for passion, and how many people normalize unhealthy behavior simply because it feels familiar.Throughout the episode, Dr. Andrews breaks down why so many men and women ignore red flags, mistake intensity for love, and become emotionally attached to people who consistently hurt them. The conversation explores validation wounds, emotional dependency, attachment styles, masculinity, unhealthy relationship patterns, and how social media algorithms continue reinforcing toxic beliefs about dating, relationships, and self-worth. The episode also examines why some people become addicted to the emotional highs and lows of toxic relationships, why healthy relationships can sometimes feel unfamiliar, and how unresolved childhood wounds often influence who we choose to love.Dr. Andrews shares insights on emotional healing, relationship patterns, purpose-driven dating, and why many people are unconsciously trying to recreate old stories through new relationships. Izzy and Dr. Andrews also discuss emotional dependency, boundaries, self-awareness, faith-based relationships, and the difference between being needed and being genuinely loved. The conversation challenges listeners to examine whether they are building relationships from a place of wholeness or from a place of insecurity, loneliness, validation seeking, or unresolved trauma. This episode is for the person who keeps attracting the same type of partner, struggles to let go of unhealthy relationships, ignores red flags, confuses chaos with chemistry, or finds themselves repeating the same emotional cycles over and over again.Because sometimes the biggest relationship problem isn't the other person.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.

NYPD Mental Health & Suicide: Suffering in Silence - Sgt. Vincent Scotto's Story Behind the badge, police officers often carry struggles the public never sees. Retired NYPD Sergeant Vincent Scotto joins The Finest Unfiltered for an important and deeply personal conversation about his own struggles with mental health, how years in law enforcement affected him, and ultimately how he found a way forward. For generations, cops have been taught to be strong, compartmentalize trauma, answer the next call, and keep moving. But what happens when the person everyone depends on realizes that he needs help himself? In this episode, we discuss: • Vincent Scotto's personal mental health journey • The pressures and trauma associated with a career in policing • Why cops may suffer in silence • The stigma surrounding police officers asking for help • Whether officers truly trust departmental mental health resources • The fear of career consequences associated with seeking treatment • The NYPD's devastating 2019 suicide crisis • Mental health challenges after retirement • The impact on spouses, children, and families • Recognizing warning signs in fellow officers • What supervisors can do differently • How Vincent overcame his struggles and what helped him recover • What he wants to tell the cop who may be struggling right now This isn't an episode about weakness. It's a conversation about recognizing that police officers are human beings—and that sometimes the people who spend their careers helping everyone else need someone to help them. Most importantly, this is a story about recovery, hope, and understanding that asking for help can be an act of strength. NEED HELP? If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or suicide crisis, call or text 988.

Mental health conditions are now the leading killer of new mothers in the United States. The CDC puts the number at nearly twenty-three percent of all pregnancy-related deaths, ahead of hemorrhage, ahead of heart failure. Over eighty percent were preventable. One in five mothers gets screened for depression after delivery.Those numbers sit behind the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy at Plymouth Superior Court. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, killed her three young children at their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023, less than three weeks after being released from a psychiatric facility. Prosecutors and her defense team agree she was mentally ill. The jury is weighing whether she was too ill to understand her actions.Her defense rests on postpartum psychosis, a psychiatric emergency affecting roughly one to two mothers per thousand births. Despite the name, clinicians describe it as a mood disorder that arrives fast and disguises itself as ordinary postpartum fatigue. Bipolar history and prior episodes are the clearest warning signs, both screenable before delivery. With early treatment the acute crisis resolves in weeks.Forensic psychiatrist Phillip Resnick testified for Clancy's defense. He also testified for Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in 2001 and was ultimately found not guilty by reason of insanity. Meghan Cliffel, a postpartum psychosis survivor from 2015, questions why the system waits for dead children before it pays attention.END_LINKS:Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Then - “I don't want to be my own worst enemy anymore."Now - "I've never felt more free."What if you finally reached your goal weight ... and discovered you still didn't have what you truly wanted?Adriel has been hyper-aware of her body since childhood. After years of bullying, body shame, bingeing and restricting, she spent much of her life jumping from one diet to the next, always believing the next plan would finally fix everything.She tried vegetarianism, low-carb, keto, intermittent fasting, supplements, juice cleanses, Noom, and eventually extended fasting. In 2020, she lost 45 pounds in five months leading up to her wedding — and still didn't feel thin enough or good enough.Then something changed.After years of treating food, exercise, and weight loss as punishment, Adriel discovered a completely different way to think about her body.Through nearly two years in the Inner Circle Coaching Group, she learned how to build healthy meals without fear, listen to her body, navigate difficult emotions, recover when things don't go perfectly, and — perhaps most importantly — stop putting her actual life on hold while chasing a number on the scale.Today, she's lost about 20 pounds of fat, but she says the mental and emotional weight she lost was worth so much more.In this deeply honest conversation, Adriel talks about . . . The childhood experiences that shaped her relationship with food The extremes she went to in pursuit of weight lossThe moment she realized she was wasting precious time trying to become smallerWhat it finally feels like to be healthy, strong, capable, and at peace.This episode is pure gold weight loss wisdom!

It's been a very busy week. People constantly running around, doing things. Having all sorts of consequences. Honestly we're happy that it's been as calm as we can hope for as summer winds down. We'll just be glad to not have to run the air conditioning all the damn time. Maybe have an excuse to wear a hoody outside and take along our concealed manga. But that's a whole other show.

Mental strength isn't something you're born with — it's a muscle you build one choice at a time. In this episode: 10 things mentally strong teens (and adults) refuse to do, and the simple practice that builds real mental strength for each one.10 Things Mentally Strong Teens Don't Do (And How to Build Mental Strength)Being mentally strong isn't about never struggling. It's not a personality trait some people just have and others don't. It's a muscle — and like any muscle, you build it one small, repeated choice at a time.In this episode, we break down 10 things mentally strong teenagers (and adults) don't do — and the simple practice you can start today to build that strength for yourself.1. They don't obsess over what they can't control. Use the circle of control. If something outside your control is causing real anxiety, give yourself 10 minutes to worry about it — then choose one action you can actually take and move forward.2. They don't waste energy trying to please everyone. You can't please everyone, and trying only drains you. Practice saying no to what doesn't serve you, and check your motive: are you serving people, or just afraid of what they'll think?3. They don't confuse their feelings with facts. Getting rejected doesn't mean everyone hates you — that's a feeling, not a fact. Check the evidence. You have a track record of skills and success that says otherwise.4. They don't make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions. The difference between a negative emotion and a positive one is often just time. Pause before you send the text, quit the thing, or set the boundary — decide from a logical moment, not an emotional one.5. They don't compare their behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel. Social media shows the best lighting, the best moments — never the whole story. Unfollow or mute the accounts that make you measure your worth against someone else's highlight reel.6. They don't let one person's opinion become their identity. Build an identity statement. Write down the qualities you want to be known for — kind, courageous, dependable, disciplined — and collect evidence every day that you're becoming that person.7. They don't let yesterday steal their today. You have a perfect track record: you've made it through every hard day you've ever had. Your future isn't defined by your past — it's defined by what you do today.8. They don't expect confidence before taking action. Confidence comes after action, not before. Everyone starts as a novice. Fear is a choice, and moving past it is a choice too — look back at all the times you already did the hard thing.9. They don't give up just because something is hard. Stop staring at the finish line. Just ask: what's the next best step? Take it, then take the next one. That's the whole path to progress.10. They don't let distractions keep them from what matters most. Set an intention every day — even just one or two things that deserve your attention. If you're struggling, put up barriers: phone in another room, on silent, in grayscale mode. Distraction is the enemy of the traction you need to build a life of satisfaction.If this hit home, share it with a teenager in your life — or with the parent who needs to hear it. You don't have to work on all 10 at once. Pick one. Work on it today. If you need to, work on it again tomorrow. Once you've got it, pick the next one.You are always one second of strength away from a completely different life.Do the three S's:Subscribe wherever you're listeningShare this with one other personStars!

SAIBA MAIS SOBRE A LEO MADEIRAS: https://bit.ly/Leo-jjSaúde mental deixou de ser um assunto restrito ao consultório. Hoje, ela também precisa estar na mesa de líderes, empresários, famílias e de qualquer pessoa que queira construir uma vida sustentável.Neste episódio especial do Tempo de Mesa, Joel Jota recebe Dra. Ana Beatriz Barbosa, Andréa Vermont e Izabella Camargo para uma conversa sobre saúde mental, burnout, liderança, ambiente de trabalho e responsabilidade individual. Três perspectivas diferentes para discutir um tema que exige mais profundidade e menos simplificação.A conversa passa pelo impacto do adoecimento mental dentro das empresas, pelos riscos psicossociais, pela NR-1, pelo presenteísmo e pelos custos que muitas organizações já enfrentam sem perceber. Mas também entra em uma discussão fundamental: até onde vai a responsabilidade da empresa e qual é o papel de cada indivíduo no cuidado com a própria saúde mental?O episódio também diferencia estresse, esgotamento e burnout, discute os riscos da banalização de diagnósticos e mostra por que prevenção, inteligência emocional, sono, limites, terapia e autoconhecimento precisam fazer parte da rotina antes que o adoecimento aconteça.Se você lidera pessoas, trabalha em equipe ou simplesmente quer entender melhor como cuidar da própria saúde mental sem terceirizar responsabilidades, essa conversa pode ampliar sua visão sobre o tema.Neste episódio, você vai entender:◼️ Como a saúde mental impacta produtividade, afastamentos e resultados dentro das empresas◼️ O que são riscos psicossociais e por que eles entraram no debate corporativo◼️ O que é presenteísmo e por que ele pode ser um custo invisível para as empresas◼️ Até onde vai a responsabilidade da empresa pela saúde mental no trabalho◼️ A diferença entre estresse, esgotamento e burnout◼️ Por que nem todo sofrimento ou desatenção deve ser tratado como diagnóstico◼️ Como líderes podem desenvolver mais inteligência emocional◼️ O papel do sono, dos limites e do autocuidado na prevenção◼️ Por que saúde mental precisa ser construída todos os dias

What if the diagnosis you were given isn't the end of your health story?Shawn Stevenson was only 20 when he was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, two herniated discs, and told he had the spine of an 80-year-old. After two years of worsening pain and declining health, one question changed the direction of his life:“What can I do to feel better?”In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Shivani Gupta and Shawn explore what happened next and why healing involves much more than nutrition and exercise. They dig into the nocebo effect, mental inflammation, sleep, brain health, loneliness, social connection, family meals, and the powerful role relationships play in long-term health.What This Conversation Reveals:How Shawn went from being told his condition was “incurable” to seeing documented changes on a follow-up scanWhy the question “What can I do to feel better?” became a turning point in his healing journeyHow the nocebo effect can shape the way the body responds to a diagnosisWhy thoughts, stress, and mental inflammation can influence physical healthWhat research on loneliness and social connection reveals about longevityWhy the quality of your relationships may shape your sleep, food, movement, and stress more than you realizeHow family meals can become a simple but powerful health practiceWhy Shawn believes creating a healthy “microculture” at home can make better habits easier and more sustainableWherever you are in your own healing journey, this episode is a reminder that health does not always have to become more complicated. Sometimes it starts with asking a different question, creating a more supportive environment, and giving your body the conditions it needs to heal.RESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Codehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas SupplementsUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first orderhttps://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/Work with Dr. Shivani / Free Discovery Callhttps://shivanigupta.com/Eat Smarter Family Cookbook by Shawn StevensonAvailable wherever books are soldThe Model Health Showhttps://themodelhealthshow.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shawnmodel/CONNECT WITH DR.

This week, we have a conversation with Matthew Hasty. We discuss his military career, including his rise to the rank of warrant officer, his transition out of the military, and his subsequent political aspirations. Hasty emphasizes the importance of education and mentorship in military service and civilian life. He highlights the challenges of transitioning from military to civilian roles, the significance of local community involvement, and the need for statesmanship.We cover a lot of ground and talk some politics in this one, but I think it was a productive and enjoyable show.

David Andina, pediatra de urgencias de un hospital de la Comunidad de Madrid, defiende en Hora 25 las reivindicaciones de los médicos tras la aprobación del Estatuto Marco por el Consejo de Ministros.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Stamford, Connecticut was terrorized by a killer who was strangling women and leaving their bodies by the side of the parkway. After four years and five confirmed victims, police arrested a local self-proclaimed preacher named Benjamin Miller, bringing the murders to an end and closing the case on what the press had dubbed the Bra Murders—or so they thought. From the moment Miller was arrested, there were some in the community who questioned whether the police had arrested the right man or if they'd simply chosen Miller as a scapegoat. Among other things, Miller had a long history of mental illness and, although he had initially confessed to the murders, he eventually recanted his confession and claimed that detectives had manipulated him into confessing. To this day, many Connecticut residents still wonder whether Benjamin Miller was really responsible for the Bra Murders, or if the real killer was allowed to walk free.

Companies have gotten frighteningly good at removing friction from spending. One click, stored payment info, a box on your porch before you've even had time to regret the purchase. Today's episode flips that same idea around: what if you engineered your own financial life the same way, making good decisions the path of least resistance and bad decisions just annoying enough to make you pause? Joe and OG close out Financial Action Month with a genuinely useful framework for building systems that work even on the days your willpower doesn't show up.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy discipline isn't a personality trait, it's a system you build once instead of a decision you make every dayA simple "make it easy or make it hard" test you can apply to any financial habit, from retirement savings to late-night online shoppingWhy automating your savings rate removes the single biggest source of decision fatigue in a financial planA smarter way to handle windfalls and bonuses, deciding your split between saving, debt, and fun once a year instead of every single timeWhy canceling a subscription is deliberately made difficult, and the workaround that neutralizes itA four-step "financial action ladder" for turning financial knowledge into permanent, lasting habitsWhy waiting a day before a big purchase, and other small friction points, can save you from regret without requiring any extra willpowerWhy This Matters NowKnowing what to do with your money has never really been the hard part. The hard part is doing it consistently, especially when life gets busy, stressful, or just plain boring. Building your environment so the smart choice is also the easy choice takes the daily grind of willpower out of the equation entirely. That's not a lack of discipline, it's actually the most disciplined move available: deciding once, automating it, and letting the system do the work every day after that.From the BasementA goofy but genuinely fun "make it easy or make it hard" game plays out across everything from emergency funds to concert tickets, and a National Trail Mix Day detour delivers exactly the kind of nonsense only this show could make delightful.Resources MentionedStacko Financial Action Month board — the interactive game with a money move for each squareStacking Benjamins Field Kit — the all-in-one financial organization and subscription-canceling toolProfit First by Mike Michalowicz — the book referenced on flipping the save-then-spend defaultSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In XYBM 164, we sit down with Norense Odiase, former pro basketball player, corporate account executive, and viral storyteller — for a deeply candid conversation about navigating grief, identity, and the pursuit of peace beyond performance. Norris breaks down his path through the NBA G-League and Amazon, unpacks the hidden weight of sudden loss and childhood trauma, and explores the five core questions every man must answer to know who he truly is. He also opens up about the emptiness that comes with reaching the top of your career, the difference between empathy and compassion, and how an NYU cinematography course helped him turn raw, unscripted vulnerability into a movement.This is a must-watch for anyone who has achieved everything they thought they wanted only to still feel empty inside — and for anyone ready to step out of survival mode, redefine success, and find purpose beyond the noise.BOOK US FOR SPEAKING + BRAND DEALS:————————————Explore our diverse collaboration opportunities as the leading and fastest-growing Black men's mental health platform on social media.

This week, Mars is in conflict with, and Jupiter makes a soothing aspect to, serious Saturn. Mental faculties and manual skills get a supercharged boost with the sextile between Mercury and Mars, and the Gemini Last Quarter Moon manages to express the ideas that the Virgo Sun has given a lot of detailed thought. We have a pretty busy week at the Big Sky HQ as April gets ready for a conference and the Podathon, which starts next week, so we will keep things relatively brief and put off a listener question until after the Podathon! Plus: Raising the bar, an invisible super power, and default crankiness! Read a full transcript of this episode. Have a question you'd like answered on the show? Email April or leave it here!

Timestamps [1:34] Jupiter trines Saturn (Aug. 31, 3:17 pm PDT) at 13°41' Leo and Aries. This is the first of three trines that they will make. The other two will come on Apr. 3 and Jul. 11, 2027. Jupiter's Sabian symbol is 14 Leo: The human soul awaiting opportunity for expression. Saturn is on 14 Aries: A serpent coiling near a man and a woman. This aspect balances Jupiter's expansive optimism with Saturn's realistic restraint. Ideal for goals requiring both ambition and discipline. [4:28] Mars squares Saturn (Sep. 1, 2:59 am PDT) at 13°39' Cancer and Aries. Mars' Sabian symbol is 14 Cancer: A very old man facing a vast dark space to the northeast. Treat this transit as a lesson in how to impose more control and discipline over your temper, impulsiveness, and physical drives. [7:51] Mercury sextiles Mars (Sep. 1, 6:21 am PDT) at 13°44' Virgo and Cancer. Mercury is on the Sabian symbol 14 Virgo, A family tree. Be mindful of your words. Great transit for projects that require being good with your hands and having attention to detail. [9:43] Moon Report! The Gemini Last Quarter Moon (Sep. 4, 12:51 am PDT) at 11°48' Gemini and Virgo. This Last Quarter wraps up that New Moon solar eclipse in Leo (Aug. 12, 2026). Consider letting go of the sadness and regret that this eclipse season may have brought. [12:39] This is the Last Quarter phase (last action phase) in a lunar phase family cycle that began with a New Moon on Jun. 6, 2024 (16°17' Gemini). The First Quarter (first action phase) was on Mar. 6, 2025 (16°21' Gemini). The Full Moon (awareness point) occurred on Dec. 4, 2025 (13°3' Gemini). [14:29] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. The Moon in Aries opposes Venus in Libra (Aug. 31, 12:47 pm PDT). It's VOC then for 12 hours, 14 minutes before it enters Taurus (Sep. 1, 1:01 am PDT). Use this VOC Moon to get in the habit of balancing your desires with somebody else's needs, so that a happy compromise can be reached. [15:57] The Moon in Taurus trines Mercury in Virgo (Sep. 2, 3:47 am PDT). It's VOC for 1 day, 1 hour before it enters Gemini (Sep. 3, 4:47 am PDT). This is a great VOC Moon period to get to the root of an unhealthy habit or issue, so that healing and recovery can take place. [16:57] The Moon in Gemini trines Venus in Libra (Sep. 5, 1:40 am PDT). It's VOC for 5 hours, 50 minutes, and then enters Cancer (7:30 am PDT). Use this VOC Moon to get in the habit of connecting with your neighbors during communal events.

Most burnout conversations focus on systems, strategies, and workflow. And those things matter. But what happens when the inbox is clear, the charting is done, and something still feels wrong? Dr. Annia Raja is a clinical psychologist whose practice is almost entirely dedicated to serving doctors in therapy, and she sees this pattern regularly. The practical strategies work, until they reveal something underneath that the strategies were never going to reach. In this episode, she talks about the deeper psychological dynamics that underpin burnout in medicine, why the traits that made someone an excellent doctor often have roots that go much further back than medical school, and why therapy does not have to wait for a crisis. Timestamped Highlights [05:00]: Dr. Raja describes what happens when a doctor finally clears their inbox and gets their clinical day under control, and why for some of them the relief they expected does not arrive. [09:00]: She introduces the tangled ball of yarn as a more honest metaphor than the onion for understanding how medicine, personality, childhood, and relationships interweave in burnout, and what it means for how recovery actually works. [12:00]: Why rest is not a destination you arrive at, and what she keeps finding in therapy when doctors finally create time away and discover they do not know what to do with it. [16:00]: The ruminative pattern she sees most often in female doctors, where it comes from, and why telling someone to simply stop replaying an interaction is never going to work. [20:00]: The real reason most doctors wait until crisis to seek therapy, including the specific fears around credentialing and licensing boards, and what has changed in the US that most doctors do not know about. [26:00]: The difference between symptom-focused therapy and depth-oriented therapy, and why she makes a specific case for the latter with high-achieving doctors who have already tried every other fix. Three Key Takeaways 1. Practical strategies work until they reveal what they cannot fix. Dr. Raja is not dismissive of workflow strategies, charting systems, or inbox management. She sees their value. What she also sees, regularly, is doctors who have implemented all of those things and still feel something is off. When the busyness clears, what is left? Who are you when you are not overwhelmed? For some doctors, that question is more confronting than the overwork ever was. The strategies address the surface. Therapy, she argues, addresses what is underneath it. 2. The traits that make doctors vulnerable to burnout usually started long before medical school. Dr. Raja describes burnout not as something medicine creates from scratch but as something medicine builds on top of. Perfectionism, people-pleasing, hypervigilance, martyrdom tendencies, these patterns often have roots in family environments, childhood experiences, and personal histories that preceded medicine by decades. Medical training did not create them. It found them, rewarded them, and amplified them. Understanding that changes what recovery needs to look like. 3. You do not have to be in crisis to go to therapy. Dr. Raja uses the gym as her analogy, and it is a good one. You do not go to the gym only when something is broken. You go to maintain, to build capacity, to stay ahead of what would otherwise accumulate. Mental and emotional care works the same way. She is direct about the credentialing fears that keep doctors from seeking help and equally direct about what has changed. Over 40 US state boards have now removed the intrusive mental health history questions from their applications. The barrier many doctors think is there may no longer exist. Guest Bio Dr. Annia Raja is a clinical psychologist based in California whose practice is dedicated almost entirely to serving doctors in therapy. She practices across multiple US states through PSYPACT and offers private pay sessions specifically to protect her clients' confidentiality and privacy. She will be speaking at the White Coat Investor Conference in February 2027. Find her at helmpsychologygroup.com and on Instagram at Helm Psychology.

Three years ago, Roman Ferstl — entrepreneur, founder, and returning PurePerformance guest — found himself experiencing something he struggled to explain to anyone who hadn't lived it. In this episode, he joins Andi Grabner and Brian Wilson to talk openly about burnout, anxiety, and depression: how they overlap, how they build on each other, and what the science of sleep, the nervous system, and neuroplasticity reveals about why recovery is genuinely possible. Honest about therapy, medication, and mindfulness — what worked and what didn't — Roman's goal is simple: if even one person listening takes one sentence away that changes something for them, the conversation was worth having. You are not broken. And it can get better.
We are all living busy lives. It is hard not to feel yanked around by the endless distractions we have fighting for our attention. This makes it very difficult to find the stillness we have inside of us. This meditation uses quiet breath to help find some of that stillness and remember that stillness is inside of us at all times, just waiting for us to return to it. One breath at a time.

A middle-grade novel written in verse. Sister rivarly. Grief. Natural disaster. Mental health. SURVIVAL! Told from two points of view: Leena in 6th grade and Rama in 8th.. Transcript here
Do you know what you're actually chasing in life, and why? Are you clear on what actually matters to you? Because those are essential ingredients for better mental health.This episode is about understanding your why, as well as the real difference between what you want and what actually matters and how that shapes whether you're living with purpose or just running on autopilot. I get into why so many of us end up chasing the wrong things, especially in a culture that's much better at telling you what to want than helping you ask why, and I talk about why finding purpose and meaning starts with being really honest about your own reasons for pursuing things rather than the results. You'll walk away from this episode with a genuine way to check whether your goals are actually aligned with what matters to you, so that your next move comes from something real rather than someone else's idea of ‘a life well lived'. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and yet still can't shake the sense that something's missing, then this episode is for you.
