In today's episode, Gina discusses one of Claire Weekes' most important topics in her anxiety recovery methodology: acceptance. Through liberal application of Weekes' acceptance, individuals with anxiety will improve their anxiety recovery journey. Embracing acceptance of life circumstances automatically reduces resistance. Resistance to what is in our lives is a significant source of our suffering (anxiety related and otherwise).

We explain that acceptance does not mean giving up, approving of anxiety, or resigning ourselves to it. Instead, it means stopping the struggle with what is already happening in the present moment.We distinguish between disliking anxiety and fighting it. We note that resistance can add another layer of fear and stress, while willingness can soften the nervous system. We describe acceptance as a posture rather than a feeling, and we use examples such as dizziness, intrusive thoughts, and a racing heart to show the difference between resistance and acceptance in daily life.We also connect Claire Weekes's teaching with Pema Chödrön's ideas about staying present and not hardening against discomfort. We describe acceptance as a form of “floating” through sensations without trying to force them away. This is presented as a way to reduce the second fear and to support nervous system retraining.We end with practical language and a brief micro-practice: pausing, relaxing the shoulders and jaw, breathing normally, and using willingness phrases such as “I'm willing to let this be here” or “I can float through this moment.” We emphasize that acceptance is a skill that becomes easier with repetition and that it allows healing without adding unnecessary suffering.#Anxiety #AnxietyRelief #PanicAttacks #ClaireWeeks #DrClaireWeeks #AnxietyRecovery #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #NervousSystemHealing #Mindfulness #Acceptance #PemaChodron #SelfCompassion #AnxietySupport #OvercomingAnxiety #StressRelief #InnerPeace #MentalWellness #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #FloatingThroughAnxiety #HealingJourney #SelfCare #MindsetShift #DropTheStruggle #PanicDisorder #HealthAnxiety #Agoraphobia #FightOrFlight #NervousSystemRegulation #VagusNerve #SomaticHealing #ACTTherapy #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy #Overthinking #IntrusiveThoughts #SelfHelp #EmotionalHealing #HolisticHealth #MentalHealthPodcast #PodcastEpisode #WellnessPodcast #MindBodyConnection #CalmYourMind #StressManagement #AnxietyTips #MentalHealthCommunity #NonResistance #InnerCalm #Empathy #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You think some people are just born without fear, but my guest Koa Smith has spent 15 years paddling into waves big enough to kill him, and he'll tell you the opposite: fear never leaves, the whole game is what you do when it shows up. After a reef injury knocked him unconscious underwater and left him eight months numb, depressed, and unable to get a straight answer from a doctor, he clawed his way back with forest time, breathwork, meditation, clean food, and real sleep instead of a prescription. This isn't really a surfing video, it's about the same fear that keeps you from a hard conversation, a new business, or a decision you've been avoiding, and how getting clear lets you finally see through it.

There is one specific faculty inside the human nervous system that determines whether your manifestation work succeeds or fails. It was the central training of every serious mystical school of the ancient, medieval, and early modern world. It was assembled in the early twentieth century into a precise operational method by Neville Goddard, Joseph Murphy, Charles Hannell, William Walker Atkinson, and a small number of teachers whose work shaped the entire field of conscious creation, manifestation, and depth psychology that followed. Then the training was forgotten. The teaching materials went out of print. The method was handed down privately to a small isolated group of practitioners while the broader culture moved on to faster, easier, more marketable substitutions that never delivered the result the original training was designed to produce. ⠀ This is that training, restored. Over the next fifty-two minutes I walk you through the faculty itself, why almost no one in the modern world has ever developed it, what becomes available to those who do, and the eight operations that comprise the actual method. Five practical exercises are embedded directly into the episode so you can begin developing the faculty before it ends. By the last exercise, you will have made your first contact with the recognition every authentic contemplative tradition on the planet has been pointing toward for three thousand years. If your visualization has been dissolving into a vague mental smudge, if your meditation practice keeps failing after 90 seconds, if your manifestations have been arriving unreliably or not at all, this episode names the missing piece and delivers the training that fixes it. The path is simple. The results are documented. What has always been required is the willingness to sit down and do the work.

Most coaches assume that awareness leads to change, but in reality, awareness alone rarely creates lasting behavior change. In this episode, we break down why clients can deeply understand their patterns, childhood wounds, and emotional triggers and still remain stuck in the same cycles for months or even years. You'll learn why traditional mindset coaching often stays at the surface level, and what actually creates sustainable transformation in coaching sessions. I introduce my four-step behavior change framework, the AVRR Method (Awareness, Disruption, Replacement, Repetition), a trauma-informed coaching strategy designed to help coaches move clients from insight into embodied, lasting change. This episode covers: Why awareness is not enough for behavior change The neuroscience behind why patterns repeat How environmental cues drive client behavior Why disruption is the missing step in most coaching models How to replace old patterns with sustainable new behaviors The role of repetition in creating identity-level change A real coaching case study showing transformation in action If you are a coach, therapist, or practitioner who feels like your clients "get it" but aren't changing, this episode will show you exactly why and what to do differently.   Apply to The Art and Skill of Coaching: https://calendly.com/jessicademarchis     1-1 Trauma-Informed Coaching: www.chatwithjess.com   Stay in Touch: www.jessicademarchis.com IG @jess_demarchis_coaching

The holidays are not a surprise. Christmas comes every single year. Thanksgiving comes every single year. New Year's Eve comes every single year. And yet most people walk into November completely unprepared, spend the entire season figuring it out as they go, and start January carrying a credit card balance they are going to spend the next several months trying to pay off. If that cycle sounds familiar, this episode is going to change how you think about the next five months.One of the biggest reasons people cannot stay out of debt is not a spending problem, it is a planning problem. Your list of bills only accounts for the things you already know are coming, and the holidays never make that list until it is too late to do anything about them. And before you tell yourself you will handle it with your bonus, I want you to sit with this question: what if the bonus is not as big as you expect, or what if it does not come at all? Future money is not a holiday plan, and this episode is about building a real one.I am walking you through a visual planning exercise I use with clients that puts actual numbers to every part of your holiday season, from the parties you are hosting and attending to family dinners, travel, decorations, and gifts. Once you know what the holidays are actually going to cost you, you can figure out exactly how much you need to save between now and December and start making decisions in advance instead of reacting when November shows up on your calendar.In this episode you'll learn...[00:04:15] Why the holidays are one of the main reasons people cannot stay out of debt and why waiting until November to think about them is already too late to do anything meaningful about it[00:08:30] The three box and four box planning exercise that helps you map out every part of your holiday season so nothing catches you off guard and you can put a real number to what November through January is actually going to cost you[00:13:45] How to think through parties, family experiences, travel, and gifts in a way that gets specific enough to actually change what you put in your budget starting this month[00:18:20] How to figure out whether you are on or off track with your holiday savings right now, what to do if you have a gap, and how to decide in advance which trade-offs you are willing to make so you can say yes where it matters and no where it does not[00:23:10] Why planning for the holidays in advance actually allows you to spend less and be more thoughtful with your gifts, and how giving yourself more time changes the quality of the decisions you make with your money[00:27:30] Why budgeting is a skill that gets better every single season you practice it, and how this holiday planning exercise is also building the foundation that keeps you out of debt next year and every year afterTune in to this episode of Money Files to learn how to plan a debt-free holiday season starting right now so that when December comes you have the money on hand, you are not figuring it out as you go, and you walk into January without a credit card balance hanging over you.Get full show notes and the episode transcript: https://wealthovernow.com/the-debt-free-holiday-planning-method-that-starts-in-july-not-november/ Links mentioned in this episode…Set up a call | Financial Coach Washington, DC | Wealth Over NowDownload my FREE spending plan

Prayer doesn't have to be intimidating. Many believers struggle because they think they need perfect words or polished prayers before coming to God. But Scripture teaches something different: prayer is about spending honest, intentional time with our Heavenly Father. In this unique message, four pastors from OneChurch guide us through the timeless A.C.T.S. Prayer Method: • Adoration • Confession • Thanksgiving • Supplication Together, these four movements create a practical, biblical rhythm that helps us move beyond praying only in moments of crisis and into a daily life of abiding in Christ. The teaching explains that prayer begins by focusing on God's character, invites honest confession, cultivates gratitude, and encourages bringing every need before Him with trust. Whether you're just beginning your faith journey or you've been following Jesus for years, this episode will encourage and equip you to develop a richer, more consistent prayer life. Prayer changes us because it brings us closer to Jesus. Prayer Request If this episode spoke to your heart, we'd love to pray for you. Leave a review, reach out through www.youronechurch.com, or send us your prayer request. Every request matters because every person matters. And if this episode encouraged you, please follow the podcast, share it with a friend, and help us continue Changing the World One Person at a Time.

Hey Clutterbugs! Struggling to declutter your home? The co-founder of a $300M clutter removal company who's cleared out 100,000+ homes reveals the #1 mistake people make, and it's one I made 20 years ago. If you've been decluttering slowly for months (or years) and still feel stuck, this episode will change everything. After helping hundreds of thousands of families let go of their clutter over the past 20 years, Nick Friedman (co-founder of College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving) has seen it all, from overflowing garages to full-blown hoarding situations. He was the very first entrepreneur ever featured on Shark Tank, appeared on Undercover Boss, and built a national brand from a borrowed cargo van in college. But more importantly? He's witnessed the exact moment people finally decide to let go . . . and what happens when they do. I spent an entire year of my life decluttering my own home, and I still wish I'd called a dumpster and changed my life on day one. Nick backs this up with insights from the field, explaining why the "rip off the band-aid” approach can work better for some people than slow, painful purging.

What if the reason your pain persists is not only found in the part of your body that hurts?When pain continues despite treatment, exercise, medication or attempts to correct the physical problem, it may be necessary to look beyond muscles, joints and structural damage. Unresolved emotional experiences, chronic stress, fear and deeply held beliefs may also influence how the body responds and why pain remains.In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh speaks with Peter Strange, creator of the RESET Method, about his own journey from serious knee and spinal injuries to developing an approach that considers the structural, emotional and energetic influences on pain.Peter explains how RESET—Realigning Emotions and Structure for Energetic Transformation—evolved from his background in fitness, kinesiology, manual therapy and energy-based healing. He also describes what he means by non-local connection and how he works with clients remotely.Leigh and Peter explore:Why physical findings such as degeneration, disc changes or “wear and tear” do not always explain someone's painHow unresolved emotions and significant life experiences may contribute to persistent painWhy pain can sometimes change when a person feels heard, safe or more in controlThe relationship between posture, thoughts, emotions and the nervous systemHow Peter developed the RESET MethodWhat non-local connection and remote healing mean in practical termsQuestions that may help you explore the emotional context surrounding your painWhy surgery may sometimes be appropriate, but should not automatically be viewed as the only optionThe importance of seeking appropriate professional advice and considering the whole personThis conversation does not suggest that physical injuries or structural problems should be ignored. Instead, it encourages you to remain curious about the different influences that may be affecting your pain and to consider whether there is another part of your story that has not yet been explored.Connect with Peter StrangeWebsite:https://peterstrange.co.ukConnect with Leigh BrandonBeyond The Pain paperback:https://amzn.to/4y2HVWgBeyond The Pain ebook:https://amzn.to/4y0lH78Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme:https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultationThis podcast is provided for educational purposes only and should not be treated as medical advice.

Silicon Bites Ep370 | 2026-07-19 | At half past one this morning, Sunday the 19th of July, the explosions started again in Kyiv. Forty-one missiles and 125 drones launched across Ukraine overnight — twenty-five of them ballistic — and most of the missiles, in Zelensky's own assessment, aimed at the capital. Three people killed in Kyiv at a minimum – 20 or more across the country. At least sixteen wounded – though the tally is rising through the day as rescue efforts continue. Fires burning in five districts of the city. Residential buildings, offices, a student dormitory, industrial premises — hit and ablaze, per the State Emergency Service.Has Putin lost his mind? Can he really think that this kind of mass terror strike is effective? The terror is real — but look closer: this is the logistics war, scaling up in real time, and Russia's vertical empire is losing it. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

I sat down with Laura Lopuch, founder of the Warm Client Method™, to talk about how web designers can use cold email to get clients without a big following, a referral network, or a full content calendar. Laura has been using cold email to build her business for 11+ years, working just 11 to 13 hours a week. She signed her very first client through a cold pitch, and she used her own system to pitch me to come on this podcast.

In episode three, we're talking about one of the biggest mindset shifts that's helped me feel more consistent, less overwhelmed, and actually make progress: choosing just 1–3 non-negotiables for the day or week.Instead of trying to improve every area of your life all at once (and inevitably feeling like you're failing), I'm sharing why narrowing your focus has been a complete game changer. Whether your priorities are going for a walk, making a high-protein breakfast, reading before bed, or getting to bed earlier, keeping small promises to yourself builds confidence and creates lasting change.I also dive into something I think we don't talk about enough: removing bad habits. We spend so much time trying to stack new habits onto already full lives, but sometimes the fastest way to feel better is to stop doing the things that are quietly draining your energy. We'll chat about why eliminating one unhelpful habit can have an even bigger impact than adding another "healthy" one.If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're constantly trying to optimize everything at once, this episode is your reminder that living better doesn't require doing more, it often starts by doing less, with intention.In this episode we discuss:Why choosing 1–3 non-negotiables is more effective than endless to-do listsHow keeping promises to yourself builds confidenceWhy focusing on one priority at a time creates better long-term resultsThe surprising power of removing bad habitsSimple ways to make meaningful lifestyle changes without burning yourself outIf you're enjoying The Living Better Project, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share the series with someone who needs a little reminder that small changes really do add up.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Whitfield discusses his team's published research analyzing capsule tissue from hundreds of patients using PCR testing, and what that data shows about bacterial contamination rates compared to smaller prior studies. He explains how genetic variation in detox pathways — including methylation and glucuronidation — may influence how patients respond to surgical devices, and how his team uses this information as part of pre-surgical planning.

Kiera talks about what it means to plan and delegate as the leader of your company, as well as three tips that CEOs of multi-million-dollar practices live by when it comes to success. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera, and I hope you are having an awesome day today. I hope that you're loving your life. I hope that you remember that we just are so lucky to live this life, that we are so lucky to work in dentistry, that we get to have our life calling. I am just so excited to podcast with you. I am coming in off the road. You guys know that when I've been on the road, it's a great time. I love seeing offices in person. I love working with teams. I love seeing how very simple.   pieces can actually help out a practice. And it was really, really fun. So I'm just excited. I'm I'm lit up and I hope you are too. So today I wanted to go through just a fun ⁓ I realize a lot of people listening and a lot of our clients and even myself included, a lot of what we're trying to accomplish as business owners is how do we become the CEO of our business and how do we block that CEO time and how do we actually work on the business? Like everybody says like you got to work on the business and not in the business. And I just get annoyed with that. I'm like, okay, but great. Like   Tell me what that actually means. Tell me what I'm supposed to do. And so today I wanted to break it into very much a what exactly does that mean? How do I actually do it myself as a CEO? Giving you guys some tips of what do you do on Sundays or when you block your time? How do you set up your week for success? So I think a lot of time it's ⁓ there was I think it's like if you fail to plan, you set yourself up for failure, something like that. Like there's a quote, I'm sure I could have done a better job on that.   But it's so many times people come in and they feel like they're just very reactive instead of proactive. And early in my career, there was a great client of mine who was like, Kiera, do you know how I prep for coaching calls? And I was like, How? He's like, I go to a coffee shop, I spend 30 minutes preparing for a call, I sit there, I ponder, I make sure that I'm very intentional. He's Do you know how sometimes you feel like you come into calls? Mind you guys, this is like Kiera, like two weeks into owning her own business. And I was like, He's like, You feel like you just rush to the call and ⁓   At that time he wasn't wrong. And it was a really great thing for me to recognize and I think about that often of what are we doing with our weeks as CEOs? Are we running into them haphazardly, not even prepared? Or are we like the client was where we take the time to plan, to prepare, to see what we can actually delegate to our team, to other team members on it, or are we just in reactive mode? I think it's more the how proactive are we versus how roactive are we. So I want to just walk you guys through specifically what I personally do, things that have worked well for my success, things that have worked well for clients that we work with.   To hopefully give you just some good tips of how you can set yourself up as a CEO and maybe start doing things a little bit differently. Like they say, success leaves clues. So let's give everybody clues and tools and different things that we all can do together. So that's what I wanted to do. ⁓ and also just realizing like you genuinely don't find time to work on your business. You don't find time to be a great leader. You don't find time for this. You have to create and make that time. So ⁓ one thing that I noticed is like,   we're going to work on how to stop reacting and be a bit more proactive. So I think when I look at it, you're trying to be a doctor, a manager, HR, scheduler, problem solver, like just answering all the problems and you're trying to do it in real time rather than sitting there focusing. And I will say when I look down the line, I can tell when I've been proactive and I can also tell when I've been very reactive. So I just wanted to kind of give you like three tips how specifically I do it, what I do, and what I've seen other offices do and other doctors do that are very successful. And like I said,   The my elite practices who are the multi-millions, who have multi-offices, who have their lives where it feels like they just have it together, these are things that they all do too. Now, how you do it, when you do it, that's gonna be up to you. But all of us do a lot of the same things. So ⁓ number one for me, I block my time on Sundays. So you can do it whenever. I do not like having the Sunday scaries. I don't like walking into my week. I also don't like to plan on Fridays. So whatever it is, I'm usually downright tired on Friday. And so   that's not usually my best day. So for me, it's on Sunday. So it takes me about I usually plan 30 minutes to an hour, is how long it takes. ⁓ and I still have a physical planner. So, however, it's gonna work well for you. But I like to see physical space. I'm a very visual person, and so I like to see my physical space. So I actually walk through and I go through my entire week. I map out exactly what is there, what's on the calendar, and I I go out four weeks. So I'm looking ahead to see.   What things are on the books, what meetings do I have? You could be looking at your production. So you could be looking to see what do you have coming up? What projects are coming up? What pieces are coming up. ⁓ like right now, mid-year, I'm looking at my taxes. So I'm looking in the different buckets of from as a CEO in the business, like what's my profitability, what's my culture, where are we headed? It's about to be mid-year. So I'm looking to see what what pieces do I need to get done there. I'm also looking for me, I've got podcasting, I've got meetings, I've got   Bookkeepers. I've got different people that I'm meeting with. And so where is that at? And I always am looking four weeks out. Now, office managers should also be doing this as well. So this is for doctors and OMs. What do I have coming? Like what's coming up on the schedule? What are the team challenges? I'm looking to see what team things need to get done. What projects are we doing? What initiatives are we rolling for this week, for the next week, and the following? What I found is when I'm on a four week run, I'm able to catch things, I'm able to ha better utilize my time.   I'm able to see like, gosh, we've got vacations coming up. Do we need to do more production right now? So I really, I personally, Kiera Dent loves looking four weeks out. So looking to see where it is. ⁓ and then I look at this week. So by looking four weeks out, I'm able to say like, where am I maybe put in meetings that I don't need to be a part of? ⁓ where am I missing? What team members are going to be out? What things do I need to proactively plan for? So I'm really looking and like overseeing a lot of those scheduling pieces. Now managers should be doing this as well, looking to see.   Do we have our schedules covered? Do we have different pieces? For me, I'm looking to see who can I delegate, who on my leadership teams in and out, consultants being on the road for you when our associates out. And I think when we proactively can look at this, we can look at our production. We can look at where am I working on the business? What big projects and initiatives do I want to get done? So for me, I just noticed that where it's at. I really do think doctors who are looking at their production a week out, two weeks out, three weeks out, four weeks out, you're going to be a lot more proactive and   I know a lot of dentists get into the rut of just kind of being robotic. Like we go and we do our exams. When you're constantly looking at your week, what is my production? What's my dollar per hour? How am I looking? What were my cases? Reviewing my cases last week, which closed, which didn't close, looking at my PL, looking at my numbers, looking at my meeting with my office manager, what things are on my plate that I could delegate to my office manager. I'm always looking. I also have a list of things that I write down. you can have it as a a digital version or you can have it as a paper version. I technically do both.   ⁓ but really looking to see what is my game plan. So that way when I walk in on Monday, it's very much prepared. I also am planning my leadership meetings. What things does my leadership team need to have in place? What do my consultants need to have in place? ⁓ what do I need to be relaying to our COO and our CFO and what things do I need to have them working on as the CEO? Like at the end of the day, the CEO, we are orchestrating. Yes, we do have a lot of people that work for us and with us. ⁓ but I'm orchestrating of   Who do I need? What meetings do I need to have? Where do I need to make sure that I'm running these pieces? So maybe you're looking at what do I need to get my lead hygienist to be working on? What things if my dental assistants could take over would help me out? How are our supplies? What are our budgets? This isn't saying you're managing the practice. And I hope that you're hearing of you're looking at to me, I feel like I'm kind of doing an inventory. It's almost like I'm going to go grocery shopping. Like what's the inventory of my business? Where are things and what do I need to have the different departments do? Because if I can proactively just   get people working on one or two projects throughout the week that don't rely on me, we're able to make a lot of movement and momentum. And I've actually found my friend and I, really, really successful CEO. We were talking about that. And he said, Kiera, could your business sustain without you being there for a month? And I thought about it and I was like, actually yes. Like I'm very proud of our team. I'm very proud of what we built. They could last a month without me being here. I've tried it, I've tested it, I know for a fact they can, I know they could go for longer than a month. But he said, but will they grow without you there?   And I've thought about that a lot. And so for me, when I'm taking my CEO time and I'm blocking my week, it's I believe we're almost like the wind in the sails. Our team is the boat. Our team is the sails. You as a CEO need to be the wind. So how are we going to grow? How can we work through our team and not have everything sitting on our shoulders? I'm very, very cognitive of what meetings am I in, what what projects are being assigned to me, what projects are assigned out there, what things have I not followed up on.   Who do I need to follow up on to make sure things are moving? And I will say it just it takes that load ⁓ off of my brain and allows me to really be present and to step into Monday in that week very confident, but also not just the week. We're looking at the month. And so we're always in this proactive piece. So really looking at the financials, looking at the business acumen, looking at what my OM should be doing, and then who can I delegate to? So the next piece to this is once I have it all mapped, once I've looked at it, once I've removed it.   Then I'm gonna be delegating. So I literally have a list of here's all the items Kiera has on her. Are these things really for me? Or who's better at that, who's more equipped, and who actually has the time to do it? So I will delegate out projects or tasks. Or if I know I have a big project coming up, so maybe we're working on operations manual, or maybe you're working on an Invisalign promo, or maybe you're working on ⁓ getting your hygiene period protocol written.   Are there people that can help you with this project that are just as good, if not better than you, that you could delegate out tasks to them? So I'm I'm really thinking in it's not even project management. It's more like, okay, I need to get these projects done. Who has time? Who's available to do this? And also whose responsibility is this? If Kiera's not the only one who can do it as a CEO, it doesn't sit on my plate. I'm going to pass it to somebody else. If it truly is only something me as a CEO can do, and that's not out of pride, ego, or things that I like.   I need to delegate it and make sure it's followed up with. So I look at my personal assistant, I look at my EA, what things can they take on? I look at our marketing team, our sales team, our rev team, our CRO, our CFO, our COO. Which ones of those can take these projects on? Who do I need to follow up with? So like truly, you delegate out to the team around you and you make sure that you're utilizing each of them. And so ⁓ I really think it's just a valuable thing. I think it sets you up for success. I know it sets you up for success.   And it's also working through your team. ⁓ we've been talking about this a lot in our leadership meetings and on our leadership team of how do you work, like how do you get everything done? And I think there's different types of leaders. There's those who want to just do it all themselves, and then there's those who work through their team. And working through your team is delegation, it's elevation, it's not abdication. It is really working through your team, meaning all of us are working together, all of us are getting the projects done. One person's not carrying the weight, and the rest of us are just sitting there.   on the boat alongside them, but we are working through the team. And this is how you prevent burnout. This is how we prevent having things stack up. This is how you're able to again be that like wind that pushes through the sales. So how do I work through my team? Because there's always a lot more that needs to be done that can't get done. How do I look at my systems? How do I review different pieces? I got to scratch those itches like maybe our finances aren't as tight. Maybe our billing's not as tight. Like let me look through this. It doesn't mean I need to do a deep dive. I can delegate and say, hey Sarah, I'm curious about our EOBs.   Can you take a look through the last three months and give me an assessment of where we're at? Like should take you about an hour. Do you have time to do that this week? I'd love that. And I'd love a report back by Friday. Absolutely got you. I make a note of the things I should follow up on as well because I don't like to delegate. I don't like to ask and then not follow up. And that's something that I will say I'm not naturally gifted at and something I have work really hard at. But really, it's a how do I plan my week? How do I work through my team? And then the next piece is when I do delegate, delegate outcomes not.   tasks. I think that this is such a a beautiful, different frame of mind to think of. ⁓ so with a team instead of calling overdue patients, it would be like you own the schedule, ⁓ I need you to call as many unscheduled or recare patients to get it full and to report your progress weekly. That's a different thing. So now it's a it's an outcome of owning the schedule rather than calling undue pay like overdue patients. Instead of working on our AR, it's we need to have our collections at 98%. We need, ⁓   are over 90 to be less than 15%, ⁓ or like go down the line of one month's worth of of production or and collections. So this way they're able to work on these items, report back to you, and to really have ownership over an outcome rather than a task. ⁓ this year's theme in our company is outcomes over activity. I'm really big on people owning an outcome, driving metrics, ⁓ and being owners over that and to really shine in their own direction. And so for you to   To give that ownership, ownership creates accountability. Delegation really will work when responsibly has a name attached to it. So what are we delegating? ⁓ and look to see what is that task? Does it align, making sure you have a really clear accountability chart too or organizational chart? Who does what in your organization? For me, I pull that out every single week and I'm like, okay, I've got these tasks. Who's the right person in the right seat to do this task and requirement? And who can I give ownership to this? So as we're looking at it, I think it's a   Can I block my week, my month, the next couple of weeks and look at it? Am I looking at my production? Am I looking at my overhead? Am I looking at my profitability? Am I game planning for that? Then am I taking that game plan to leadership? What are the issues that are outstanding? What things still are sitting on my mind that are taking up a mental load? Can I add that to my leadership team's agenda so that way it's off my mental load and it's there and then it's delegated, it's followed up on, it has accountability for it. Truly, like where are the parking lots for your brain? So it doesn't sit there and churn. Like,   I love our leadership meeting where we're able to put these items on there. What about in our hygiene department and our dental assistant department with my OM? Do I have agendas for those? So as I'm going through my week, these items that need to get done and resolved, is there a parking lot so I can relay this information? Do you have the meetings in place for me? I really love like every week. And people are like, you have so many meetings. And ⁓ I'm a proponent of less meetings, but meetings that are very effective. And I do run off the model of traction. So it's an every single week, it's a 90 minute.   leadership meeting and then we do have department meetings and I used to feel like it was so much. ⁓ but when meetings are run and they're run very effectively, which I believe the L10 model is one of the most effective meetings that are always productive as long as you're actually running them, calling out metrics and focusing on the most important things. We parking lot these issues that come up. That way there feels like it's a space for it. For me as a CEO, a lot more could move forward because I'm not having it sit on my brain, sit on my plate. There's a space where things can get delegated and discussed through.   and then having those direct reports, report back and having the follow-through follow-up. I found so many dentists get stuck because I feel like we have this churn in our brain, but there's nowhere to put it. There's no follow back loop from our office manager or management team back to us to say where are things at. So having those set cadence of meetings where I can delegate out, we can report up, we can work through our team, really allows the entire organization to move quicker and faster. There are some departments that might not need a weekly meeting. I found that hygiene.   Once your hygiene department's running and they're hitting their metrics and they're doing a great job, they're usually like once a month. And what they really prefer in hygiene is they're going to want to have trainings in CE and looking at our metrics and seeing how do we work as a department. But really, hygiene oftentimes is a self-sufficient department. Doctors, once month calibration is usually sufficient unless I've got an issue where I'm onboarding a new doctor. ⁓ dental assistant department, depending upon how they are, a lot of times they do need weekly training. ⁓ full team training oftentimes can be once once a month, and that's very effective and efficient.   Doctor and OM meetings every single week, non-negotiable. Leadership meetings every single week, non-negotiable. Those are things that I'm absolutely meeting with. ⁓ those things then can move forward. Billing meeting every single month. So that way you've got places, you've got agendas, you've got set times are set. And then we need to have some type of project management software where you as a CEO know all the projects moving forward have deadlines. They've got people assigned to them so it can loop back to you.   So hopefully that's just helpful for you ⁓ to stop like putting out constant fires, to stop having it churn in the back of your brain to have some structure, to be able to get that leadership structure in place. Because I found that ⁓ if you're trying to be the superhero and do it all, that's where burnout happens. that's where a lot of teams feel less empowered. That's also where you're actually enabling your team to not be there. Like you solving all their problems feels like you're helping them out, but it's actually creating dependency and it's creating burnout on you.   So what should happen is when teams ask questions and they immediately get answers, we gotta have it to where they can solve their own problems. If you as the owner are jumping in to solve patient issues or problems within the practice all the time, you have an empowered and lifted a leadership team. If the office manager is coming to you solving every single problem, like they've got to really be empowered to do this. And so really also teaching our teams to come up with their recommendations. What are three solutions to this problem? what options have you considered? What do you think we should do?   But really start helping your team and expecting them and rolling that culture out so that way as problems evolve and resolve, it's not just sitting on you. So hopefully that was helpful of prepping it on Sunday, how far out I look, what things I'm looking for, what we teach our doctors to do, what we help our leadership teams with our offices do, to really be able to scale, to have stability, to have like consistency. I think that that's one of the greatest things we're looking for is we want this structure, we want scalability, and we want it to be able to have great stewardship over our practices. So   If this is something you're struggling with, if you're like, my gosh, like this is my life, I feel like it's on that constant hamster will loop in the background where I never can let go. I feel like I don't know how to prep. Try it. Try prepping Sunday. Try prepping your week out. Reach out. ⁓ I think a lot of you are great clinicians and you do an amazing job. You have a very creative mind, maybe not a management mind. And so ⁓ I think sometimes that management skill needs to be taught, it needs to be trained, and it needs to be given to you in organization and structure. So reach out. I'd love to help you.   We help create those leadership systems and help build in accountability and help you delegate with confidence and how to help your team elevate to that level because they might not know either. So if you're looking for answers, great news, today's the day. Reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. But I really just encourage and implore each of you to try and whatever it is, if it's a fr Friday for you, if it's a Sunday for you, look down the line, look at your emails, look at your tasks, look to see how you can work through that team.   Look one week out, two weeks out, four weeks out. Look at your production, look at where we're at, look at our billing, look at our collections. Really start to get into the mode of being a CEO. And right now you might be like, I don't even know what to do. Fantastic. Block the time. And I promise you, the more you do it and the consistent you are at it, the more it will start to become a habit, the more you're starting to see things because it's a consistent piece. Get those meetings, get those agendas lined up so you've got a parking lot for those ideas. Really start to build that structure. And I promise you, things will be so much easier for you. As always.   We are here. This is what we do. We're experts at it. So reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team

The England football team's manager Thomas Tuchel has led his squad to a World Cup semi-final against old rivals Argentina. A cerebral football obsessive, he has a tendency to self-immolate when things are going well. So is this the fate that awaits the Tuchel-England experiment? Or could the tensions between the manager and his star player Jude Bellingham actually prove the key to victory?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of procrastination, resistance, and avoidance? If you're running a business with an ADHD brain, it's time to stop fighting your nervous system and start listening to it. Understanding ADHD means recognizing that your resistance is data. In this episode of the ADHD-ish™ Podcast, part of the Reframing ADHD Traits as Business Strategy series, I challenge the mainstream productivity tips, and offer a new perspective: Procrastination isn't always the enemy—it's often vital business information.3 Key Takeaways:Procrastination is a signal, not a personal failing. Your nervous system might be telling you something important about your business, like a task you've outgrown or a decision you haven't fully made. This is how ADHD neurodiversity communicates through resistance.Five “signals” behind resistance: Delegation (tasks you should hand off), Decision (incomplete choices), Sunset (offers you need to let go), Revenue (underpriced work), and Clarity (undefined scope/stakes). Most productivity tips miss these underlying issues entirely.Don't override, diagnose first. Before pushing through with more discipline, ask “What is this resistance telling me?”—then act on the real issue behind your avoidance. This diagnostic approach honors ADHD neurodiversity.The Reframe: Procrastination is regulatory, NOT motivational.Your nervous system is sending a protective signal, not exposing a character flaw or lack of discipline. For ADHD neurodiversity, this shows up when something is off below the surface—even if you don't consciously know what it is. This is why traditional productivity tips often fail.Next time you find yourself stuck, don't reach for another productivity hack. Instead, ask: “What is my resistance trying to tell me?” Then act on the message, not just the task. Your business, and your brain, will thank you. This is what working with ADHD neurodiversity—rather than against it—actually looks like.Other episodes in the series:Ep #315: How Successful ADHD Entrepreneurs Trigger Hyperfocus on DemandEp #317: Time Blindness is a Pricing Problem, Not Just a Productivity ProblemEp #321: The Recurring Revenue Trap: The Hidden Cost of Stable IncomeLooking for an ADHD-informed business coach that is available on demand?

Most of us have been told, at some point or another, to just be happy. Just let it go. Just choose joy. And if you've tried that and found it completely unhelpful, you are in very good company. Dr. Peggy DeLong is back on the podcast for her third visit, and what she shares in this episode about how to increase your capacity for happiness is not what most people are teaching. It's not about ignoring what's hard. It's not about thinking positively until the feeling kicks in. And it has nothing to do with luck or your current circumstances. Peggy discovered the power of gratitude while sitting by her fiancé's side as he was dying from an aggressive cancer. She was 26. She didn't push the grief away. She felt it — and that turned out to be the beginning of everything she now teaches. If you've ever been told to just cheer up and wanted to throw something, this one is for you.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why pushing emotional pain aside actually makes it harder to access real happiness — and what to do instead How your capacity for joy is in direct proportion to your capacity to feel pain What collective effervescence is and why it matters more than we think How human connection with complete strangers predicts happiness just as much as our closest relationships What the three Ps — present, pleasure, and purpose — have to do with breaking the high-achieving cycle Peggy's four Ps for building positive mental health: prioritize, plan, practice, prosper   DR.

Are you constantly looking for one more podcast, book, course, or AI prompt before you finally take action? In this episode, Ambrosia Carey explores the Information Trap...how learning can quietly become a form of procrastination. Discover why confidence is built through action, not certainty, and how trusting yourself with what you already know can unlock the momentum you've been waiting for. If you missed the previous episode about Cerrtainty Join our FREE 10 Day Business Challenge. Enjoy 50% off GlossGenius Premium Plans with Code SUCCESSFUL 1. Learning is valuable, but it becomes a problem when it replaces taking action. 2. Consuming more information often creates the illusion of productivity without producing real results. 3. Many entrepreneurs aren't looking for more knowledge, they're looking for certainty. 4. Confidence isn't built by researching; it's built by taking imperfect action. 5. The fastest way to gain real-world knowledge is through experience, not endless preparation. 6. Your own experiments will teach you more than copying someone else's blueprint. 7. The 5% Method reduces pressure by focusing on one small experiment instead of chasing perfection. 8. Overplanning often becomes another way to avoid the discomfort of creating. 9. Information inspires, but implementation transforms your business and your life. 10. The "illusion of explanatory depth" reminds us that understanding something isn't the same as being able to do it. 11. Consuming content delivers quick dopamine, but lasting progress comes from consistent execution. 12. Taking classes, saving tutorials, and buying courses only matter if you practice what you learn. 13. Learning has become a socially acceptable form of procrastination for many creative entrepreneurs. 14. The real fear usually isn't failure, it's being seen and receiving feedback. 15. Asking yourself, "What am I avoiding by learning this?" can reveal what's truly holding you back. 16. A healthy goal is to spend significantly more time creating than consuming information. 17. Motion feels productive, but only action produces measurable outcomes. 18. Your next breakthrough is likely waiting on the other side of the project you've been avoiding. 19. Trust yourself with the knowledge you already have instead of waiting until you feel ready. 20. The life and business you want won't come from more information, it will come from proving to yourself that you're willing to act.

Everyone is passionate. Everyone has a degree. Everyone is willing to work hard.

We have built a global network that members can tap into from day one, and spent ten years inside this industry learning exactly how hiring actually works.80% of jobs in sport are never advertised.

Welcome back to Your World of Creativity. We travel around the world talking with creative practitioners about how they get inspired, organize ideas, gain confidence, and turn imagination into impact.Today, we're doing something special — a roundtable conversation around one of the six themes from my new book, UNLOCK Your World of Creativity — Developing Your Brand with a Signature Method.We've gathered creative leaders from different parts of the country — and a world of different industries — to explore how unique methods become memorable brands.Joining us today:Ela Thier, filmmaker, educator, and author joining us from New York City, where she's built an award-winning film career and mentored thousands of artists through The Independent Film School.

Here are some of the key questions we explored:What is your signature method?How did your creative philosophy become something distinctly you?How did you know it wasn't just a business idea — but a signature brand concept worth building?How does someone take what feels intuitive or artistic and turn it into a repeatable signature method that clients can understand and trust?Behind the scenes your brand requires systems and consistency. How do you systematize without losing the surprise and delight?What's the biggest mistake creative people make when trying to define themselves or their brand?How do you stay true to your signature approach while adapting to client realities?How do you evolve your brand while staying true to what made it special?Closing Question: What's one thing listeners can do this week to begin developing a signature method of their own?SummaryToday we explored how signature methods don't appear overnight — they emerge through experimentation, setbacks, systems, lived experience, and the courage to lean into what makes you different.Huge thanks to Ela, Jessica and Damien, and Jodi for sharing their insights and stories.And if today's conversation sparked something for you, this is exactly the kind of idea explored in my new book:UNLOCK Your World of Creativity: 6 Key Lessons Learned from More Than 250 Creatives Worldwide.

Have you ever reached midlife and wondered why the habits that kept you feeling strong for years suddenly do not seem to be working anymore? You are tracking your food, exercising harder, pushing through exhaustion, and doing everything you were told to do, yet your sleep, energy, metabolism, stress tolerance, and body all feel different.In this solo episode, I am introducing The WellDrop Method, the five-part framework I created after realizing that midlife requires a different wellness strategy. We talk about what to track beyond the number on the scale, how to work with your cycle instead of pushing through every day the same way, which daily habits and home exposures may be affecting how you feel, and why hormones and peptides make more sense when a strong foundation is already in place.This is the roadmap I wish someone had handed me before my body started playing by a completely different set of rules.  What's Discussed(00:00) Why the wellness habits that worked before midlife may stop giving you the same results(03:12) Framework 1: Tracking the data that matters beyond calories and the scale(06:07) Framework 2: Working with your cycle to support energy, movement, and recovery(07:31) Framework 3: Upgrading the daily habits that affect sleep, cortisol, and how your body responds(09:36) Framework 4: Creating a healthier home environment without trying to change everything overnight(11:05) Framework 5: Why hormones and peptides should come after the foundation(13:14) Turning awareness into alignment, action, and ownership with a personalized midlife roadmapYou do not need to keep adding more effort to a strategy that no longer fits your body. Listen now to learn how to focus on what matters, make more informed wellness decisions, and build a plan that supports the way you want to feel through midlife and beyond.Sign up for The Well Drop NewsletterCheck out The Well Drop approved products and brands at amberberger.me/productsFind out more about Amber Berger: Website: http://thewelldrop.comInstagram: @thewelldropTHE WELL DROP

What happens when every antibiotic, every protocol, every specialist leaves your loved one worse, not better? For Dr. Jonathan Streit, that wasn't a hypothetical. It was his wife, wasting away, while he carried her to the bathroom and raised a toddler. That breaking point became the foundation of everything he now does for Lyme patients.In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Jonathan Streit to unpack why killing the infection is only part of the picture, and often the wrong place to start. They dig into his BioRestorative Method, which targets six interconnected systems including the autonomic nervous system, gut microbiome, and neuroplastic retraining. Dr. Streit also introduces a concept most Lyme-literate practitioners aren't talking about: microglial activation, the brain's immune response that can keep you sick long after the infection is gone. If you've done everything right and still don't feel well, this episode may finally explain why.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction1:36 How Dr. Streit's wife's battle with Lyme changed his entire career path8:07 Why eight rounds of antibiotics made her worse and the moment he said "we're done"10:49 The BioRestorative Method's six-system approach to healing Lyme14:31 Why Dr. Streit doesn't believe in the Herxheimer reaction17:03 Tailored protocols over stock supplements and why cookie-cutter Lyme treatment fails25:00 Silent Spark: how microglial activation keeps you sick after the infection clears29:27 Why limbic retraining programs have limited results without addressing microglial activation Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:Silent Spark by Dr. Jonathan Streit - https://a.co/d/00rWB06XAngels and the Assassin by Donna Jackson Nakazawa - https://a.co/d/0hwOML6OIFM (Institute for Functional Medicine) - https://www.ifm.orgDNRS (Dynamic Neural Retraining System) - https://www.retrainingthebrain.comGupta Program - https://www.guptaprogram.comPrimal Trust - https://www.primaltrust.orgMedical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

What does it really take to build a school system ready for the future?In this episode of Voices for Excellence, Dr. Michael Conner welcomes Dr. Tommy Welch, Deputy Superintendent of School Improvement and Strategic Initiatives for Richmond County School System, for an energising conversation about continuous improvement, artificial intelligence, and the leadership required to serve every learner well.This is not a story about chasing the next trend. It is about a district choosing to think differently about growth, mastery, opportunity, and readiness. Richmond County is reimagining how data is used, how grading reflects learning, how AI belongs inside instruction, and how schools can create stronger pathways through STEM, CTAE, and dual enrollment.At the centre of the conversation is a powerful idea: continuous improvement is not a programme. It is a mindset. And in a district marked by both wealth and poverty, that mindset matters.Tune in to hear how Richmond County is building the systems, culture, and courage to prepare students not just for graduation, but for the world ahead.

In this episode the guys break down exactly how to be able to do pull ups in 30 days — covering the daily low intensity practice method, why you need to drop all other back work, why eating more and sleeping consistently will accelerate your results, and how to set up your test day for maximum performance. They also discuss whether chemical sunscreens are actually causing more cancer than they prevent, a large UK Biobank study showing frequent sunscreen users had up to 292% higher melanoma rates, why Crisp Power protein pretzels are outperforming traditional protein snacks on satiety, and the guys' Father's Day stories — Sal's son giving him a blank trophy, Adam's perfect day including coffee in bed and a drive with Katrina, and Justin getting a violent massage from a big Chinese dude at the mall. Then they answer questions from Instagram on doing CrossFit and strength training simultaneously, progressive overload after 63, building a chest with chronic shoulder pain, and getting hired as an inexperienced new personal trainer.   MAPS Upper Lower: https://mapsupperlower.com Code: LAUNCH for 40% off.

They don't need to censor every voice. They don't need to suppress every fact. They only need to shape the way you interpret reality. Michael Hoffman has spent more than forty years studying the hidden machinery of propaganda, symbolism, psychological warfare, and perception management. Tonight, he argues that the battle for your mind didn't begin with social media or artificial intelligence. It has been underway for generations. GUEST: Michael A. Hoffman II is an independent historian, investigative author, and one of the most influential voices in alternative historical research. Best known for his landmark work Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare, Hoffman has spent more than four decades examining propaganda, intelligence operations, ritual symbolism, media influence, political assassinations, and the hidden mechanisms of social control. His provocative ideas, including "Revelation of the Method,” have shaped generations of researchers exploring the intersection of power, perception, and psychological manipulation.

Pat Nolan returns to discuss the science of early odor imprinting and how to properly train detection puppies from 8 weeks old. This isn't theoretical—Pat shares his exact methodology for building odor value, the two-can game foundation, common mistakes (like the one-box problem), and video evidence of puppies as young as 24 days responding to target odor.What We Cover:Why early odor imprinting creates lasting structural changes in the puppy's brainCritical periods: the window where early experiences matter mostAlan Goldblatt research: why puppies imprinted early learn faster laterStarting from birth: blowing odor in the whelping box (first 24-48 hours)The two-can game foundation (the easiest choice puppies will ever make)Progression from two cans to four cans (often in one session)Using UDC or NODA (laboratory odors that won't contaminate real-world searches)Why emotional state matters: frantic ≠ driveThe one-box mistake: teaching behavior vs. teaching odor detectionVariable interval training: the restaurant analogy that explains durationVideo proof: 24-day-old puppies seeking target odor, 6-week-old puppies choosing odor over playReasonable precision for puppies (don't ask too much too soon)Introducing distractions, blanks, and controls from day oneWhy puppies need patience, not pressureBuilding executive function skills through detection gamesPat discusses how early experiences create lasting neural pathways and why starting detection work young doesn't mean rushing—it means being thoughtful, having a plan, and understanding what success looks like at each stage.Critical Takeaway: You CAN train puppies on odor. The question is: do you know what you're doing? Have a plan. Know your benchmarks. Be aware of emotional state and developmental stages. That's what separates good puppy programs from ones that create problems.#PuppyTraining #DetectionDogs #OdorImprinting #K9Training #PuppyDevelopment #DetectionDogTraining #EarlyImprinting #BrainDevelopment #CriticalPeriods #TrainingMethodology #CaninesDalkingScents #PatNolan #K9Handler #DogTrainingScience________________________________________
