She shares a short practice for naming what you are suffering over and then repeating that this moment is enough until the burden loosens. The mindfulness point is that accepting the present does not mean abandoning your goals. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.allisoncarmen.com/when-this-moment-is-enough/ Quotes to ponder: "One of the key reasons we all suffer is because we believe that this moment is not enough." "When you name your suffering, it has less of a hold on you." "When you allow this moment to be enough, it doesn't mean you stop working on what you want your life to be, it just means you are opening your heart to a more joyful life right now."

You Don't Need Everything Fixed — Just Calm — Guided Meditation for Effort Fatigue & Anxiety | Coherent Breathing You're not asking for much, and you don't need every problem solved or your whole life fixed — you just want to feel calm again, even for a moment. If trying to relax has started to feel like just another task on your list, this guided meditation is for you.We'll use coherent breathing to steady the body, then a simple visualisation for the exhausting habit of trying too hard to feel okay. When this feeling shows up again, Anchored is there: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, today's session uses coherent breathing — in for a count of four, out for a count of six — before reframing calm through the image of easing off an accelerator: not slamming to a stop, just lifting the foot, and noticing that the car slows on its own the moment you stop pushing. Perhaps calm isn't something to chase, but something you can simply stop getting in the way of. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – Welcome: you just want to feel calm again* 00:47 – Breathing: coherent breathing, round one* 01:40 – Breathing, round two* 02:41 – The accelerator: easing off instead of pushing harder* 04:09 – Breathing, round three* 05:15 – Today's Gentle Affirmations* 07:56 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 08:54 – Coming back, stretch and open your eyes* 09:33 – Outro & be kind 

We tend to think of hearing as something that happens in our ears, but hearing is really a partnership between the ears and the brain. And growing research suggests that when hearing begins to decline, it may have implications for cognitive health as well.In this episode of Think Thursday, Molly explores the connection between hearing loss and dementia risk, including what the latest research says about whether hearing aids may help protect cognitive function.You'll learn:Why hearing loss is considered a potentially modifiable risk factor for dementiaHow “effortful listening” may place additional demands on the brainThe role social isolation may play in the hearing–cognition connectionWhat the ACHIEVE trial found about hearing aids and cognitive declineWhy hearing aids cannot currently be said to prevent dementiaSigns that it may be time to have your hearing evaluatedSimple ways to protect your hearing from noise-related damageThe takeaway: protecting your hearing isn't just about preserving sound. It's another practical way to support the connection between your brain and the world around you.Research mentioned:The 2024 Lancet Commission on dementia preventionThe ACHIEVE randomized clinical trial2026 World Health Organization dementia risk-reduction guidance2026 multinational research on hearing aid use and probable dementia ★ Support this podcast ★

Have you ever reached the end of the day wondering where all your time went?Maybe it isn't because you're bad at time management.Maybe it's because you've become incredibly good at saying yes.In this episode, Dr. Stacy explores how years of "good girl" conditioning teach many women to become the dependable one—the volunteer, the organizer, the helper, the person everyone can count on. While those qualities are admirable, they often come with an unseen cost.Every automatic yes creates an invisible no.No to your walk.No to meal prep.No to enough sleep.No to your own health.This episode will help you recognize the pattern, understand why it happens, and begin creating the space your healthy habits have needed all along.In this episode:Why time management isn't the real problemHow "good girl" conditioning shapes adult behaviorWhy helping isn't the issue—automatic helping isThe hidden cost of every automatic yesSimple pause phrases that create space before committingWhy protecting your health isn't selfishIf today's conversation resonated with you, we'd love to have you join us inside the SugarFreeMD Membership, where we're continuing the conversation by helping women intentionally protect the space their health deserves. www.sugarfreemd.com/LSMFree 2-Pound Plan Call!Want to jump start your weight loss?

Send us Fan MailThis week I want to talk about something I've been sitting with: eyes on your plate, eyes on your lane. I was actually writing these notes when I found out Dolly Parton had passed away, and it sent me into a whole reflection on boundaries — how easy it is to want to fix people, to give unsolicited advice about their food, their choices, their life, even when we mean well. I'm sharing what almost thirty years in leadership, addiction training, and life coaching have taught me about staying in your own lane, what real support looks like when someone you love is struggling with serious addiction, and why doing the wellness work for yourself is the most powerful thing you can offer someone else. If you've ever gotten advice nobody asked for — or caught yourself giving it — this episode is for you. Citations●     Dolly Parton tribute reference — NPR, "Dolly Parton, one of country music's most singular performers, has died at age 80" (Aug. 25, 2026) — https://www.npr.org/2026/08/25/nx-s1-3650175/dolly-parton-obituary ●     Additional source — The Washington Post, "Dolly Parton, country music singer and cultural icon, dies at 80" (Aug. 25, 2026) — https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2026/08/25/dolly-parton-country-music-singer-cultural-icon-dies-80/ ●     Film references mentioned: Steel Magnolias (1989) and 9 to 5 (1980) ●     Weight stigma & unsolicited comments about food or weight — Rebecca M.

Tamsen Fadal was 47 and anchoring the evening news when the first hot flash hit.She got off the set and lay down on the bathroom floor. No one had prepared her well for any of this. The answer, when it finally came, was a short note from her doctor in her patient portal with four words: "In menopause, any questions?"Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, executive producer of the PBS documentary The M Factor and The M Factor 2, and New York Times bestselling author of How to Menopause. She spent thirty years in television news before turning to the thing nobody had explained to her.Tamsen and Mike get into what menopause actually is, how its symptoms can resemble anxiety or depression, and what changed after the 2002 hormone study.This is a conversation for men as much as for women. Every man is a partner, colleague, son, or father to someone moving through this. Tamsen's line is that men don't have to go through it, but they do have to understand it.Tamsen calls what comes after menopause “the next 30.” Her point is to decide what you want those years to look like, and start building toward them now.Enjoy the conversation.___________________________________________________Links & Resources:Tamsen Fadal's Website: tamsenfadal.comTamsen Fadal's Books: How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before, The New Single, Why Hasn't He Proposed?, Why Hasn't He Called?Tamsen Fadal's Documentaries: The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause and The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause, both on PBSTamsen Fadal's Podcast: The Tamsen ShowSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!Go to: https://findingmastery.com/sponsors/Subscribe to the Finding Mastery newsletter for weekly high performance insights: https://www.findingmastery.com/newsletterDownload Dr. Mike's Morning Mindset Routine: findingmastery.com/morningmindsetFollow on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and XSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Carrying Everyone Else's Feelings? — Guided Meditation for the Quietly Exhausted | Physiological Sigh Breathing If you're always the one who copes — the reliable one, the one who checks on everyone else and never gets asked back — this guided meditation is for you. For the next ten minutes you don't have to hold anything together. We'll use the physiological sigh, a simple two-inhale, one-long-exhale breathing pattern, to ease the body down a gear, then a gentle visualisation for setting down the things you've been carrying that were never really yours.When it all gets too much before or after this session, Anchored's Instant Calm is free, offline, and always there: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, today's episode leans on a boxes-in-your-arms metaphor — the to-do list, the thing someone said, tomorrow's problems, someone else's feelings you've quietly taken on as your own — and invites you to set just one box down at a time. You are allowed to rest before everything is finished. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – Welcome: when you're always the one who copes* 00:52 – Anchored's Instant Calm* 01:19 – Breathing: the physiological sigh* 02:37 – Visualisation: the boxes you're carrying* 04:16 – A different sentence: "I can put some of this down"* 04:49 – Today's Gentle Affirmations* 07:46 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 08:32 – Coming back, stretch and open your eyes* 09:10 – A personal reflection: speaking to yourself with kindness* 10:16 – Outro & be kind 

It's easy to feel like you don't have enough; it's the message we constantly receive through media and advertisements. It's the message that once you have this thing, or make this much, then you will be happy... all of your dreams will come true! The truth is actually the opposite as this kind of grasping for more is associated with mood problems, anxiety, and stress.  We'll dig into this trap of "having enough" and how we can break free from it and embrace our enoughness.  About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

And why doesn't it ever work? A: This episode explains the psychology of contingent self-worth and the neuroscience of hedonic adaptation: when you stake your value on external things, the bar always moves, the reward always fades faster than expected, and there is never enough; understanding the mechanism is the first step to stepping off the treadmill.   Q: Someone I love seems to measure their worth entirely by what they have or what they've achieved — how do I understand that, and is there a way out? A: Henry's story of his patient and Aimee's story of her father both illuminate how the having-more strategy develops and why it becomes impervious to reason; this episode also names the false-self as the construction that drives the endless proving, and points to the inner compass that is always there underneath it. The good news is that there is a way out and this series explores those paths to enoughness.    Key moments: [00:00] Welcome — Enoughness part 2: having enough [00:30] Having enough isn't really about the amount — it's the belief that acquiring this much will make the bad feelings go away  [01:00] Conditional acceptance and love: growing up having to produce, perform, or prove before being given love — the untended grief that drives the proving [01:30] Francis Weller: what happens when we aren't born into a village with a full, joyous welcome of our gifts  [02:00] Henry's story: a venture capital executive, clearly depressed, sent to therapy against his will  [04:00] CBT couldn't break through — his thinking was so distorted he was impervious to reason; he clung to the belief that he added no value whatsoever  [05:00] The lesson Henry learned viscerally: it is futile to try to fill a hole in self-worth by accumulating money or anything else we value  [05:30] If you believe external achievement proves your worth, there will never, ever be enough — and what a drain on one's energy and vitality  [06:00] Aimee's father: grew up needing to grasp for more, family lived week to week — so grasping for more was genuinely what they needed to survive  [06:30] AImee Prasek "Money can absolutely buy relief from misery, but it doesn't buy happiness or joy with the same predictability."  [07:00] The neuroscience: dopamine tracks more with anticipation of getting the thing than with actually getting it — the reward at arrival is inconsistent and can be short-lived  [07:30] Most things can be taken away — a shaky foundation if you've built your identity or worth on them  [08:00] Aimee's father attached his worth to signs of success — culture pushes this onto us too  [09:00] His business fell apart and everything came crashing down — Aimee believes his contingent self-worth collapsed with it [09:30] Watching strangers take back the repossessed items — cars, boats, pieces of him; everything he'd staked his value on, gone in a day  [10:30] Henry: a prolonged grieving right there — it's the universal human experience [11:30] Hedonic adaptation, or the hedonic treadmill: big life events shift our mood temporarily, then we return to baseline  [12:30] Like Sisyphus: pushing the same rock up the hill, same outcome every time — all that effort does not create lasting change  [13:30] Hedonic wellbeing (drive toward pleasure, avoidance of pain) vs. eudaimonic wellbeing (meaning, authenticity, self-acceptance, personal growth) — it's not one or the other; you don't have to give up pleasure  [14:30] Socially-prescribed perfectionism added to the mix: contingencies of self-worth + hedonic treadmill + belief that others demand your perfection = perfect storm  [15:00] The belief that you can and should live without pain, full of only pleasure, proving it all the time — and it is just not true  [15:30] Henry: where the false-self gets born — when we learn that our worth is conditional on performance, appearance, or achievement, we hide the real self  [16:00] We construct a version of ourselves we believe will be acceptable, lovable, worthy of belonging — and it is exhausting to maintain  [16:30] Constant vigilance: am I saying the right thing, do I look right, am I achieving enough? Always the fear of being exposed as a fraud  [17:00] The paradox: the more we invest in the false-self, the less we're actually being loved for who we are — and deep down, we know this [17:30] Donald Winnicott's work on the false-self — link in show notes; also: the Authenticity series and the episode on feeling enough as a mom  [18:00] The false-self is like holding up a complex lie — cognitively and physically exhausting  [18:30] The inner compass is always there underneath the false-self — that knowing of our worth is never lost; it's never too late to come back to it  [19:00] Head to your Experiment in the Joy Lab Program to work on having enough; head to JoyLab.coach to access the Experiments [19:00] Closing wisdom from Lynne Twist: "Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience, a context we generate, a declaration, a knowing that there is enough, and that we are enough."   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Does sensitivity actually help you as much as it hurts you?April Snow breaks down why the same trait that makes you good at reading a room is also what quietly erodes your boundaries. This conversation goes beyond typical self-care talk into the real difference between caring about someone and taking on their emotions as your own, and why some of the most capable, high-achieving people never realize they're highly sensitive at all. It's a look at how sensitivity gets mistaken for weakness, when it's actually running the show in ways most people never connect the dots on.What you'll learn:Why boundaries erode fastest for people who read rooms bestThe real difference between caring about someone and caregiving themWhy high achievers rarely recognize their own sensitivityApril Snow is a licensed marriage and family therapist and the author of Big Feelings, Big Joy. She's spent her career helping highly sensitive people stop treating their trait as something to manage and start understanding it as a genuine strength, backed by the research on how the highly sensitive brain actually works.Find April's book "Big Feelings, Big Joy" and all links at: mindlove.com/469Ready to practice holding your boundaries instead of absorbing everyone else's?

In this episode: The Gap and The Gain framework for appreciating your progress on the path to financial independenceEpisode SummaryAdam Coelho leads a 22-minute meditation inspired by The Gap and The Gain. Rather than measuring against a moving ideal, listeners compare where they are now with where they were four or five years ago. The practice replaces impatience about reaching FI with appreciation for current progress and the life unfolding today.Resources & Books MentionedThe Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin HardyMindful FIRE Legends communityDownload my FI Life JumpstartKey TakeawaysMeasuring against an ever-moving ideal creates “the gap”; measuring backward reveals “the gain.”Notice how “not there yet” thoughts feel in the body before trying to change them.Recall professional, personal, and financial progress from the past four or five years.When caught in the gap, ask “Is this useful?” and shift toward gratitude, learning, or a concrete gain.Join the Mindful FIRE Legends community at MindfulFIRE.org/join.

Welcome back from summer vacation, Love Is The Power listeners! We're easing into September this week with a meditation and group style inquiry led by Tom on noticing some of our favourite ways to stop ourselves from living in harmony with life, and questioning those root beliefs. The inquiry goes from looking at the simple belief that it isn't possible to live in harmony with life given specific sets of circumstances to studying a pattern of feeling hurt by other people. As Tom points out, the mind will often minimize the positive effects of peace. But could it be true that taking care of our own inner world and questioning the thoughts that disrupt our ability to live in harmony with everything around us is one of the best ways to serve the world?

In a world full of noise where everyone is waiting for their turn to speak, deep listening has become a superpower. Gather around the virtual campfire with Wyce Thoughts as we discuss how active, empathetic listening transforms our relationships, heals unspoken divides, and creates true human connection.WebsiteFollow on X Follow on YoutubeFollow  Purple Pit Studios

Monday Morning Anxiety — Calm the Dread of the Week Ahead | Vagus Nerve Breathing Meditation  Monday morning anxiety has a weight all of its own — that heavy, anticipatory dread that arrives before your feet have even touched the floor. In this 10-minute guided meditation, Calming Anxiety host Martin helps you put the whole week down and meet Monday with a nervous system that is working with you, not against you. Today's practice uses vagus nerve breathing — a slow nasal inhale, a gentle hold, and a long, soft exhale — to press the brake pedal on your stress response. Three guided rounds, followed by a warm golden-light body scan and a set of gentle affirmations for anxiety relief, work anxiety and the Sunday scaries that spill into Monday. It closes with three practical daily caring tips you can carry into the day. Whether you're listening in bed, on the train, in the car park, or in the ten quiet minutes before you walk in through those doors — this is deep relaxation and breathwork you can use anywhere.

In this episode, Vanessa sits down with Lizzie Tilia, spiritual guide, psychic, teacher, and founder of Earth Mystery School, for a conversation about intuition, earth-based practice, soul work, and what it means to take the unseen seriously without losing your ground. Together they explore Lizzie's path from OCD, Catholic conditioning, and fear of the spirit world into psychic development, containment, and a more loving relationship with the unseen. They also talk about Jung's collective unconscious, pan-cultural wisdom, spiritual performance, ego versus soul versus spirit work, and why some people need stronger ego structure before entering deeper soul or spiritual spaces. This is a conversation about intuition as a skill, discernment as devotion, and learning to become a good spiritual friend to yourself before trying to guide anyone else.Applications are now open to the public for Cohort 4 of Inner Compass Academy.

What if the biggest obstacle to changing your drinking isn't that you're doing too little—but that you've decided anything less than a dramatic change doesn't count?In this revisited episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores the all-or-nothing thinking that can make sustainable change harder than it needs to be.You'll learn why the Doable Drink Plan starts with meeting yourself where you are, how perfectionism can quietly undermine progress, and why small, repeatable changes can help you build trust in yourself.Molly also examines the long-standing belief that abstinence is the only “real” way to change your drinking. Alcohol-free breaks can absolutely be helpful, but the thinking behind the action matters. Are you choosing a break because it supports your long-term goals—or because you believe anything less isn't good enough?In this episode:Why perfectionism can sabotage progressHow “this isn't enough” thinking keeps people stuckWhy small wins matterThe role of the Doable Drink PlanHow to think about alcohol-free breaks without turning them into a testWhy sustainable change is built through continuous improvementThe question isn't simply, “Am I doing enough?”A better question may be:“Is what I'm doing helping me build the skills and confidence I need for sustainable change?”Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Are you chasing happiness, success, or the "next thing" in life, only to find that the moment you reach it, you're still not truly fulfilled?After more than 20 years as a civil engineer, Sarah Collins realised that the version of success she had been pursuing wasn't actually what she wanted. Her journey through depression, overthinking, mindfulness, meditation, and self-inquiry helped her recognise how thought patterns and conditioning can shape the way we experience reality. In this conversation, she explores why we so often fight against the present moment, believe the stories our minds tell us, and postpone happiness until some future event.Learn how to create distance from your thoughts instead of automatically believing or following them.Discover simple ways to practise acceptance in everyday situations and reduce unnecessary emotional struggle.Understand why happiness isn't something you need to achieve in the future, and how fully experiencing every moment, including difficult emotions, can change the way you live.Play the episode to discover how noticing your thought patterns, accepting the present moment, and letting go of the constant pursuit of future happiness can help you stop fighting with life and start living it more fully.˚KEY POINTS AND TIMESTAMPS:01:09 - Meet Sarah Collins: From Civil Engineer to Life Coach02:41 - Redefining Success and Letting Go of Society's Expectations05:48 - Living with Depression, Overthinking, and Low Self-Worth07:02 - You Are Not Your Thoughts10:29 - The Stories We Believe About Ourselves12:33 - Practicing Acceptance: Start with the Small Things15:34 - Rethinking Happiness as a Present-Moment Experience22:38 - Self-Inquiry, Spiritual Teachers, and Finding Your Own Answers29:21 - Closing Thoughts, Where to Find Sarah, and Final Takeaways˚MEMORABLE QUOTE:"The more you notice those thought patterns, the more you notice how it's creating your reality—you stop fighting with life and start living."˚VALUABLE RESOURCES:Sarah's website: https://www.livingfullywithsarah.com/˚Coaching with Agi: https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/mentor
