In this special Mindfulness in Action episode, I'm sharing a very personal reflection from the trails of Squamish, BC where muddy puddles, forest quiet, and time on the bike create space for clarity.For the first time in over 22 years, I've made the decision to step away from competitive bike racing. Not because I can't race, but because my life, priorities, and sense of fulfillment have shifted.In this off-the-cuff, honest conversation, I reflect on what it means to let go of an identity you've held for decades, how task-focused mindfulness has shaped my thinking, and why courage sometimes looks like choosing less instead of more.This episode isn't just about sport. It's about transitions, motivation, family, mattering, and learning to listen to yourself when something inside is asking for change.If you're navigating a transition, feeling stretched thin, or questioning what really matters in this next season of your life, I hope this episode helps you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what's true for you.Top 5 TakeawaysMindfulness isn't passive, it's active presence. Being fully engaged in the task at hand (not self-evaluation) can unlock clarity and joy.Identity transitions are uncomfortable, but necessary. Letting go of who you've been creates space for who you're becoming.Motivation changes with life seasons. What once fueled you may no longer fit, and that's not failure.Doing less can be a powerful choice. Fulfillment doesn't always come from pushing harder or doing more.Reflection reveals values. Emotions like envy, fatigue, or resistance often point toward what truly matters.Other Mindfulness in Action Episodes:- Slowing Down the Rush- How to Regulate Your Emotions for Resilience and Performance- How to Combat Self-Criticism--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
Join Mostly Dry January-The Daily!In this New Year's Day episode of Think Thursday, Molly explores why January 1 feels so powerful psychologically and why that feeling so often fades. Drawing on neuroscience, mindset research, and behavioral science, she explains the difference between the Fresh Start Effect and the myth that our brains reset overnight.Using research from behavioral scientist Katy Milkman, Molly breaks down why temporal landmarks like January 1 increase motivation, how dopamine fuels anticipation, and why habits do not change through symbolism or intention alone. She explains what actually drives sustainable behavior change and how identity, repetition, and environment shape the brain over time.This episode reframes January not as a moment of reinvention, but as an opportunity to continue building momentum with clarity and compassion.What You'll LearnWhy January 1 feels emotionally different from other daysWhat the Fresh Start Effect is and why it works as a motivatorHow dopamine drives anticipation rather than follow throughWhy the brain does not reset habits or patterns overnightThe role of the basal ganglia in habit formationHow identity based change can either support or sabotage progressWhy self rejection increases all or nothing thinkingWhat works better than willpower for sustainable behavior changeKey Concepts ExplainedFresh Start Effect and temporal landmarksDopamine and anticipation versus long term habit wiringNeural efficiency and why the brain prefers familiar patternsIdentity based behavior change and evidence gatheringIteration over intensity for neuroplasticityEnvironment over willpower as a driver of consistencyPractical Reframes from the EpisodeShift from starting over to continuing forwardFocus on strengthening what already existsThink aligned habits instead of new habitsUse January as an informative month rather than a performanceBuild identity through small repeated actionsReduce friction instead of relying on motivationResearch and References MentionedKaty Milkman's research on the Fresh Start EffectHow to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to BeNeuroscience research on the basal ganglia and habit loopsIdentity based behavior change research in psychologyRelated Think Thursday EpisodesThe Illusion of Starting Over in Habit ChangeConsistency: The Brain's Super PowerThe Iterative Mindset and Behavior ChangeBelief Echoes and Why Change Feels HardDefensive Pessimism ★ Support this podcast ★
In this episode, Dr. Stacy Heimburger discusses the importance of setting intentions for the new year by focusing on identity rather than just actions. She emphasizes the need to build a foundation of identity to support habit formation and introduces the concept of a focus word as a guiding principle for personal growth. The conversation also highlights the significance of community support in achieving goals and encourages listeners to reflect on their values and desired identity for the year ahead.Key Takeaways:We often fail at habits because we skip building a foundation.Changing our identity is crucial for lasting change.Focus on who you want to become, not just what to do.A focus word can help guide decisions and actions.There is no deadline for making positive changes.Community support can enhance personal growth efforts.Visualizing your future self can clarify your goals.Small, incremental changes can lead to significant growth.Your focus word acts as a filter for opportunities.You don't have to navigate this journey alone.Join Kickstart 2026! www.sugarfreemd.com/kickstart2026Free 2-Pound Plan Call!Want to jump start your weight loss?

Stefan Molyneux kicks off with some wry observations about handling winter roads in Canada, then shifts to picking apart today's dating scene and the roles men and women play in it. He stresses that relationships work best when both sides bring something worthwhile to the table, and he fields calls from listeners dealing with issues around raising kids and navigating romance. Toward the end, Molyneux urges people to pay more attention to how they talk to each other and to build real bonds as the new year rolls in, offering a nod to what might lie ahead.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
The most powerful way to enter a new year is not with resolutions, but with a deeper understanding of how to connect with the people who matter most.As we close out the year, the Finding Mastery team is taking time to rest, re-calibrate and reflect — practicing the same principles we talk about on this podcast. So today, we're sharing a conversation from the Finding Mastery Vault with two legends in the science of relationships: Drs. John and Julie Gottman.Together, they've spent more than 50 years studying what makes love last — from small moments of connection to the hidden habits that quietly erode trust. In this conversation, we explore the daily rituals that deepen intimacy, how to repair after conflict, and why the best relationships aren't perfect — they're practiced.In this episode, you'll learn:How to turn conflict into closeness through repairThe four behaviors that quietly destroy relationships (and how to replace them)Why “love is a verb” — and what that means in actionThe difference between bids for connection and real listeningHow to communicate needs without criticism or defensivenessFrom the entire Finding Mastery team, we wish you and your loved ones a very happy, healthy New Year. We'll see you in 2026!

Metta-Vipassana is an integrated practice that unites the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Vipassana) with Metta practices (Brahmavihāras). Vipassana meditation (insight or mindfulness practice) connects the richness of our shared human experience with the immediacy of moment-to-moment awareness. As the body and mind learn to settle, intuitive wisdom emerges. This wisdom allows us to fully open to the entirety of each moment, both within and around us. By cultivating this openness, we increase our capacity and interest in meeting life's joys and sorrows with ease and presence.Metta practice (kind-friendliness) calls forth and strengthens beautiful spiritual emotions within the heart: kindness, care, joy, and equanimity. Mindfulness of these qualities helps bring them to full fruition. This process directs our life's energy toward awakening our full potential, providing a stable foundation for contentment, purpose, and meaning...thus I have heard. https://www.davesmithdharma.com/schedule/ https://www.davesmithdharma.com/https://account.venmo.com/u/davesmithdharmaThank you for subscribing.
8 Ways to Reduce Stress in the Workplace Episode Summary Workplace stress steals joy, drains productivity, and harms overall well being. In this episode, we break down eight practical strategies employees and leaders can use to reduce stress, rebuild clarity, and create healthier work environments. If left unchecked, stress can impact performance, morale, and mental health, but the right habits and boundaries can change everything. The Hidden Cost of Workplace Stress Stress is one of the biggest barriers to engagement and performance. Millions of workdays are lost each year due to stress, anxiety, and depression. Tight deadlines, heavy workloads, and lack of support are often the biggest contributors. Ignoring stress hurts people and companies. Addressing it helps everyone thrive. 8 Ways to Reduce Workplace Stress 1. Recognize the Early Signs Irritability, worry, trouble sleeping, shallow breathing, and trouble focusing are often the first signals. Understanding how stress shows up emotionally, physically, and behaviorally helps you catch it before it escalates. 2. Identify the Source Is it workload? Expectations? A demanding boss? Interpersonal conflict? Clarity helps you respond more intentionally and set healthier boundaries. 3. Set Clear Boundaries Boundaries communicate what is acceptable and sustainable. Whether it is availability, workload, or working hours, defining your limits reduces overload and protects your well being. 4. Evaluate Life Outside of Work Your routines matter. Poor sleep, rushed mornings, and lack of recovery time amplify workplace stress. Incorporate activities that reset your nervous system like yoga, exercise, or quiet mornings. 5. Practice Mindfulness Staying grounded in the present moment reduces anxiety about yesterday's mistakes or tomorrow's deadlines. Mindfulness, breathwork, and even aromatherapy can help calm the mind and increase clarity. 6. Stay Connected Strong relationships act as a buffer against stress. Talking with trusted friends, colleagues, or family helps you problem solve, feel supported, and maintain perspective. 7. Avoid Unhealthy Coping Habits Alcohol, junk food, caffeine overload, and smoking increase stress long term. Choose healthier outlets like movement, meditation, and nourishing routines to support your mental and physical health. 8. Work Smarter, Not Harder Multitasking increases errors and stress. Focus on single tasking, prioritizing what matters most, and organizing your workload in a manageable way. Efficiency reduces pressure. Why Employers Should Care Healthy employees perform better. Organizations that prioritize well being experience higher morale, stronger retention, and greater productivity. Flexible work options, reasonable expectations, appreciation, and opportunities for connection all reduce workplace stress. Final Takeaway Stress does not have to dominate your work life. When employees understand the signals, identify the root causes, and take proactive steps to manage stress, everyone benefits. When leaders support this effort, workplace culture transforms. Reducing stress is possible – and it starts with awareness, boundaries, connection, and smarter working habits.

Most producers say they want to dominate 2026, yet many are still waiting for permission. Waiting for the “right time” to invest in themselves. Waiting to see if someone else will sign off on it. That mindset quietly keeps people stuck—and it's far more common than most want to admit.In this episode, I sit down with my client and friend, Andy Neary, for an honest, no-fluff conversation about what actually holds high performers back. We talk about why driven professionals often struggle with self-worth, why chasing a “guaranteed ROI” can sabotage momentum, and how confidence isn't something you wait to feel—it's something you build by consistently showing up for yourself.This is a real conversation about responsibility, ownership, and what it takes to stop playing small as the new year approaches.About The Guest: Andy Neary is a speaker, author, podcast host, and coach dedicated to helping professionals build the mindset, habits, and strategies needed to excel in business and life. A former professional baseball player in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, Andy leveraged discipline, unshakeable drive, and consistent daily habits to succeed at the highest level — despite being undersized for his position. Andy Neary - Speaker, Author, ConsultantToday, he applies those same lessons off the field through Complete Game Consulting, a coaching and training company he founded in 2019, where he advises insurance professionals and agencies on mindset, marketing, branding, and performance. Andy is also host of Bullpen Sessions, a podcast for driven professionals focused on mindset and tactics for success.

In this talk, Kodo reflects on Faith in Mind as a teaching on living with uncertainty and relinquishing judgment, comparison, and fixed views. Drawing on Dōgen, early Buddhist teachings, and reflections from contemporary teachers, she explores how practice shifts us from self-centered thinking into direct awareness, where impermanence is lived rather than conceptualized. Through sustained meditation, ethical living, and sangha engagement, we gradually loosen the grip of the small self and discover a boundless, compassionate mind capable of meeting life's difficulties with clarity, purpose, and care for others. ★ Support this podcast ★

Molly revisits her most impactful strategies, including the "Doable Drink Plan."You Can Break the LegacyMolly shares how she rewrote her story as an adult child of an alcoholic and invites you to do the same.Key Questions for ReflectionWhat do you understand about alcohol now that you didn't a year ago?Where have you made quiet, meaningful progress?If you felt confident and peaceful around alcohol in 2026, what else would need to change?Mentioned Episodes & ResourcesEpisodes: 14, 92, 115–117, 143, 167, 189, 198, 258Alcohol Core Beliefs Series: Search "alcohol core beliefs" in your podcast appMostly Dry January Challenge: Daily support, private podcast, coaching, and a powerful start to 2026Low 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 ★
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with bestselling author and keynote speaker David McNally to explore what it truly means to age with vitality. David reframes “successful aging” away from surface markers like money or staying busy, and toward something deeper: rich life experiences, meaningful contribution, and a compelling reason to get up each morning. He shares how many people feel lost after retirement because their sense of relevance was validated externally—through meetings, emails, and titles—until it suddenly disappears. The remedy, he explains, is finding relevance from within by rediscovering mission, gifts, and service. David offers grounded, practical ways to reconnect with purpose: reflect on what inspires you, who inspires you, and what fulfills you, then choose where your talents can add value. He also challenges the “too old” mindset, emphasizing that creativity expires only when we do—and that the brain and imagination can keep expanding. Finally, he highlights acceptance and peace of mind as essential to aging well, and recommends simple daily habits like journaling, reading something uplifting, and doing one small act to improve someone else's day. About the Guest: David McNally is a bestselling author (Even Eagles Need a Push, Be Your Own Brand, and If You Are Alive, Your Mission on Earth Isn't Finished), award-winning documentary producer, and Speaker's Hall of Fame member. His work focuses on purpose, resilience, and human potential, shaped by profound personal loss and his own health journey. Key Takeaways: Measure success by experiences, meaning, and relationships—not just achievements. Purpose is a “reason to get up,” especially after work life ends. Retirement can trigger a relevance gap; rebuild relevance from the inside out. Ask: What inspires me? Who inspires me? What fulfills me? Creativity doesn't expire with age—growth is still available. Acceptance creates peace of mind: control what you can, release what you can't. Daily habits: journal/reflect, read uplifting material, move toward a goal, help someone.

In the final part of our exploration of Jon Kabat-Zinn's Nine Attitudes of Mindfulness, Mike and Mark slow things down—intentionally. This episode is an invitation to rest, to release the constant pressure to improve, and to rediscover the power of presence without agenda.Jon opens the conversation by reframing rest itself. True rest, he suggests, is not collapse or avoidance, but a no-agenda way of being—where nothing needs to be fixed, achieved, or optimised. From this place, mindfulness naturally deepens.The episode then explores non-striving, one of the most misunderstood attitudes of mindfulness. Jon reminds us that growth doesn't come from forcing outcomes, but from allowing life to unfold as it already is. When striving drops away, awareness has room to do its work.From there, Jon reflects on gratitude and generosity, encouraging us to meet each moment with appreciation and to be generous not just with things—but with our time, attention, and energy. These attitudes shift mindfulness from an inward practice to a way of relating to the world.As the episode unfolds, Jon beautifully weaves all nine attitudes together through the lens of heartfulness, showing how mindfulness is not a collection of techniques, but an integrated way of living with presence, compassion, and care.In the closing bonus reflection, Jon turns to mind-wandering and the rehabilitation of the present moment, a cornerstone of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Rather than seeing distraction as failure, he reframes it as an opportunity—each noticing becomes a gentle return to now.This episode matters because it offers an antidote to burnout culture. Instead of pushing harder, it invites us to trust awareness, soften our effort, and remember that the present moment is already enough.

This holiday week might have been really hard. Surrounded by family, arguments, familial patterns, working on staying connected, trying to enact different patterns with food, and feeling overwhelmed and dysregulated. And for others, this week may have included huge wins. You noticed yourself regulating your nervous system, staying connected, choosing other options besides food to connect with yourself, and you got to witness just how far you've come in your food recovery. But today, three days after the actual holiday, it may feel like food is even more of a struggle than it was a few days ago. The experience of joy, connection, stress, exhaustion, social pressure, and emotional intensity of the day may be over, but the food is still here.Maybe you had a plan leading up to the holiday. You had your friends on stand by via text, you had your somatic practices you've learned here or in a session, you showed up for yourself, you tried to stay connected, and so now you may feel utterly confused that you got through the holiday just fine, but want to binge on every holiday leftover food you can find. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: Why leftovers can feel like a threatWhat has changed in your nervous system the day after a holidayMaking sense of your urge to binge leftovers How to somatically process the leftover food binge You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/when-holiday-leftovers-feel-like-a-threatI'll be putting out a special New Years' episode next week so if there is anything you'd like me to add to this episode on how to somatically enter the new year without diet promises and exercise rules, respond to this email with any questions you have!
