Hour 1: Optimistic Thomas has a discussion about the Mets....He is still optimistic.....But in Moderation.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores reminiscing as more than nostalgia. After returning from a family reunion, she reflects on how shared stories can reconnect us with earlier versions of ourselves and remind us of the courage, humor, resilience, and connection that are still part of who we are. Key Points Reminiscing is not just remembering events; it is reconnecting with identity, meaning, and emotion.  Autobiographical memories help us understand our personal life story and the versions of ourselves we have been.  Family stories can preserve shared identity by reminding us what we value, what we survived, and how we belong to one another.  Healthy reminiscing can support behavior change by reminding us that our current emotional state is not the whole story.  Reminiscing is different from rumination. Rumination loops in shame or regret, while reminiscing helps us integrate the past with curiosity and compassion.  The past can be a courtroom or a library: rumination puts us on trial, but reminiscing helps us retrieve something useful. Science Mentioned The hippocampus helps organize memory and context.  The medial prefrontal cortex is involved in self-reflection and personal meaning.  The default mode network becomes active when we think about ourselves, our past, our future, and the stories that shape our lives.  Erik Erikson's stage of integrity versus despair describes the process of looking back over life and making meaning from both joys and losses. Think Thursday Invitation Take ten minutes to intentionally reminisce.  Look through old photos, listen to a meaningful song, ask a family member to tell a story, or think about a place you used to love.  Ask yourself:  What version of me was present in that memory?  What mattered to me then?  What does this memory remind me is still part of me?  What is one small way I could bring that version of myself into today? Closing ThoughtLooking back is not always about wanting to go backward. Sometimes reminiscing helps us gather pieces of ourselves we forgot we could bring forward. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly continues the series When Drinking Less Feels Hard, looking at the real-life challenges that make drinking less feel difficult through the lens of Alcohol Core Beliefs.This week's focus is the belief Alcohol Is My Reward—the thought that shows up at the end of a hard day, a long week, while cooking dinner, on vacation, or anytime alcohol feels like the treat you've earned for getting through something. Molly explores why this belief can feel so reasonable, how the brain learns to associate alcohol with reward and transition, and why drinking less can feel like deprivation when alcohol has become the main way you mark completion, rest, or pleasure.Before the episode, Molly also shares a reminder about Mostly Dry July-The Daily, which includes daily support, weekly group coaching calls, weekly brain boosts, and a private daily podcast to help you practice drinking less with peaceful mindfulness and without all-or-nothing thinking.  www.mollywatts.com/mostly-dry-july  In This EpisodeWhy alcohol can become tied to end-of-day and end-of-week ritualsHow the brain learns to predict alcohol as a rewardWhy “I deserve this” is often a clue, not a problemThe difference between true reward and coping in disguiseHow alcohol can represent completion, freedom, pleasure, or feeling like something is finally yoursWhy expanding your reward system is essential for drinking lessHow to use See, Soothe, Separate, and Shift with the belief Alcohol Is My RewardKey TakeawayYou deserve reward, pleasure, rest, and celebration. But alcohol may not be the reward you actually deserve.The reward you deserve is one that restores you, supports you, and helps you feel cared for in the moment and proud of yourself later.Listener PracticeChoose one reward-drinking moment: the end of the day, Friday night, cooking dinner, vacation, or after finishing something hard.Ask yourself:What am I trying to reward?What do I want this reward to give me?Will alcohol actually give me that, or is there another way to create it more honestly?Then practice creating one real reward before alcohol. It might be quiet, rest, movement, food, connection, or a nonalcoholic ritual.Resources MentionedMostly Dry July-The DailyAlcohol Core BeliefsSee, Soothe, Separate, ShiftAlcohol Minimalist Facebook groupLow 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 ★

«Ich habe vier Jahre bekommen.» Ahmed T. sass wegen diverser schwerer Delikte drei Jahre in der Justizvollzugsanstalt in Witzwil. Im Juni 2024 wurde er vorzeitig aus seiner Haft entlassen. «Jetzt geht es los. Ich will arbeiten, ich will reisen. Jetzt fängt für mich das Leben an.» Wie geht es jemandem wie ihm auf seinem Weg aus dem Gefängnis zurück ins Leben? Wie sieht sein neuer Alltag aus? Was hat er für Unterstützung, was aber auch für Auflagen? Und was braucht es überhaupt für eine erfolgreiche Wiedereingliederung in die Gesellschaft? Bewährungshelferin und Ex-Frau Martina Hunziker aus der Kulturredaktion hat Ahmed T. eineinhalb Jahre lang durch seine Bewährungszeit begleitet und ihn regelmässig getroffen. Sie war bei Terminen mit seiner Bewährungshelferin dabei. «Am Anfang trafen wir uns wöchentlich, nachher haben wir auf zwei Wochen reduziert, danach auf drei Wochen und am Schluss einmal im Monat. Er war sehr verbindlich, sehr gewissenhaft.» Und sie hat seine Ex-Frau getroffen. Sie und Ahmed T. haben eine gemeinsame Tochter, die heute 15 Jahre alt ist. «Wir waren jung, und man wusste nicht, worauf man sich einlässt. Aber das weiss man eigentlich nie.»   Moderation und Produktion: Sibylle Hartmann Zu Gast: Martina Hunziker Alle drei Texte zu Ahmed T.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly reflects on the meaning and importance of Juneteenth, observed on June 19th. Rather than approaching the holiday as a historian, she explores Juneteenth through the lens of memory, truth, freedom, and the stories a culture chooses to remember.Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced freedom to enslaved African Americans there, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This episode invites listeners to consider the difference between freedom declared and freedom actually delivered, and why that distinction still matters.Molly connects Juneteenth to the broader Think Thursday themes of awareness, learning, collective memory, and behavior change. Just as personal transformation requires honest awareness, cultural growth requires a willingness to tell fuller, more truthful stories.In This EpisodeMolly explores:The historical significance of Juneteenth and why June 19, 1865, mattersWhy freedom on paper is not the same as freedom in lived experienceHow national holidays act as moments of public memoryWhy Juneteenth did not begin when it became a federal holiday in 2021How Black communities preserved and celebrated Juneteenth for generationsThe connection between memory, truth, and collective identityWhy fuller truth can create deeper compassion, dignity, and responsibilityHow discomfort can be part of learning and expanding our understandingKey ReflectionJuneteenth is both a celebration and a remembrance. It honors freedom, resilience, and generations of Black Americans who carried this history long before it received broader national recognition. It also asks us to look honestly at the ways freedom has been delayed, denied, and unevenly experienced.Questions to ConsiderWhat did I learn about Juneteenth growing up, and what did I not learn?What does this holiday ask me to remember more fully?How can I honor freedom not just as an idea, but as something that should be real in people's lived experience?Closing ThoughtMemory matters. Truth matters. Freedom matters. Juneteenth reminds us that remembering is not passive. It is a choice, a practice, and part of how we become more honest, more awake, and more human. ★ Support this podcast ★

Most people think they need to lose weight before becoming a runner. The truth is, that belief is stopping more runners than their body ever will.If you've ever felt like you don't look like a “typical runner” or believed you needed to lose weight before taking running seriously, this episode will challenge everything you've been told. I break down what bigger runners need to understand about training smarter, why running isn't always the answer people think it is for weight loss, and how consistency, recovery, and sustainable effort will take you much further than pushing yourself into exhaustion. If you want to build fitness in a way that actually lasts, this conversation will completely change how you think about running and long-term progress.Key TakeawaysRunning doesn't require a certain body type: You don't need to lose weight before you start running. The idea that only lean, light people can be "real runners" is false.Running alone won't help you lose body fat: If weight loss is your main goal, running isn't the most effective path. You're better off combining it with resistance training and fixing your nutrition.Run so you can do it again tomorrow: Don't overdo it on day one. Walk when you need to, go by time instead of distance, and focus on consistency over intensity.Timestamps[00:21] What You'll Learn[01:34] Tip #1 – Don't Try to Lose Weight By Running[05:52] Use This to Start Running (Again) Now[06:21] Tip #2 – Everything in Moderation[10:18] Tip #3 – Walking Is Ok[12:40] Why You Shouldn't Kill Yourself Every Run[15:04] Daren's Hot Take, Healthy and Wise[15:29] Why Amateur Runners Can't Carb Load Their Way to a Fast Marathon Alone[18:38] How Daren Is Getting Wiser in Life & Training[19:42] Remy's Hot Take, Healthy & Wise[24:02] Why You Should Have Dessert With Your Dinner[26:57] Use This to Start (Or Get Back to Running)Links & Learnings

Fehlzeiten & Leistung: Neuer Umgang mit Gesundheit im Unternehmen? In dieser Episode sprechen Julia Kropf und Jutta Rump über ein zentrales Thema der aktuellen HR- und Wirtschaftsdebatte: die Entwicklung und den Umgang mit Fehlzeiten in Unternehmen. Seit der Corona-Pandemie lässt sich ein spürbarer Wandel in der gesellschaftlichen Wahrnehmung von Gesundheit und Krankheit beobachten. Auf Basis einer repräsentativen Unternehmensbefragung ordnen wir die aktuellen Entwicklungen ein. Wir beleuchten die erheblichen volkswirtschaftlichen Kosten, die durch Fehlzeiten entstehen, zeigen jedoch auch auf, warum pauschale Schuldzuweisungen in der Debatte zu kurz greifen. Es wird diskutiert, wie sich der Blick auf Präsentismus verändert hat und welche strategischen Hebel Unternehmen sowie Führungskräfte haben, um eine gesunde Unternehmenskultur aktiv zu gestalten. Jetzt reinhören und wissenschaftlich fundierte Insights für die Praxis mitnehmen! Mehr zum IBE: https://www.ibe-ludwigshafen.de/ Moderation: https://julia-kropf.de/ Quelle Musik: www.musicfox.com

In der heutigen Folge sprechen Noir und Finn mit Clara vom Podcast ACE AROund the Cake über das Buch “Entromantisiert euch! Ein Weckruf” von Beatrice Frasl. Sie sprechen darüber, worum es in dem Buch geht und wie weit sie mit Frasls Schlussfolgerungen übereinstimmen. Außerdem betrachten sie die aktuelle Verwendung des Begriffs “Liebe” in a*spec Büchern und in aktuellen (queer)feministischen Kontexten und teilen ihre Wahrnehmung diesbezüglich unter anderem aus einer aplatonischen und loveless Perspektive. Sie überlegen außerdem, welche Schritte sie selbst setzen können, um Normen rund um romantische Beziehungen und Liebe in ihrem Leben abzubauen.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly continues the series “When Drinking Less Feels Hard” by looking at one of the most common places drinking less can feel difficult: social situations where alcohol feels like part of the fun and everyone else is drinking.This episode explores two powerful Alcohol Core Beliefs: alcohol makes things more fun and alcohol creates connection. These beliefs often show up around dinners out, parties, weekends, vacations, celebrations, and those moments when you had a plan—until you were surrounded by other people drinking.Molly explains why the challenge is not simply being in a bar, at a restaurant, at a party, or on vacation. The deeper issue is that your brain may have learned to associate alcohol with belonging, ease, confidence, playfulness, and connection. When that belief is running in the background, choosing to drink less can feel like choosing a lesser version of the experience.But alcohol is not the source of your humor, warmth, courage, or ability to connect. Those parts of you already exist.In this science-forward episode, Molly breaks down how alcohol expectancies, social cues, dopamine, reward prediction, and alcohol myopia can make drinking feel automatic in social settings. She also shares how to challenge the thoughts that make alcohol feel necessary and how to build new evidence that fun, connection, and belonging are still fully available when you drink less.You'll learn how to use the 4S process—See, Soothe, Separate, and Shift—to question the belief that alcohol makes everything better. Instead of relying on willpower in the moment, Molly encourages you to create a doable drink plan ahead of time, protect your awareness before alcohol narrows it, and practice proving to your brain that you can enjoy social situations without giving alcohol all the credit.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why social situations can make drinking less feel harder than drinking less at homeHow the beliefs “alcohol makes things more fun” and “alcohol creates connection” fuel desireWhy “everyone is drinking” can feel so powerful, even when you genuinely want to drink lessHow alcohol expectancies shape what you believe a drink will do for youWhy familiar cues like restaurants, vacations, Friday afternoons, and celebrations can trigger urgesWhat alcohol myopia is and why “I'll decide later” is often not a strong enough planHow to separate the facts of a social situation from the story your brain is tellingHow to use the 4S process to challenge old beliefs and practice new onesWhy alcohol may be present during fun and connection without being the cause of either oneKey Takeaway:Alcohol may be present during fun, connection, celebration, and belonging—but that does not mean alcohol created those things.When you stop giving alcohol full credit for the experience, you can begin reclaiming your own confidence, humor, warmth, playfulness, and ability to connect. Drinking less is not about having less fun. It is about learning that fun was never dependent on alcohol in the first place.Mentioned in This Episode:Mostly Dry July: The Daily begins July 1st.Join Molly for daily support, coaching, and practical tools to help you create a peaceful relationship with alcohol throughout the month of July.Learn more at: https://mollywatts.com/mostlydryjuly/Resources:Join the Alcohol Minimalist Facebook group for support, conversation, and real-life strategies for changing your drinking habits.Learn more about Molly's programs and resources at mollywatts.com.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.

In this episode, he draws on LinkedIn's data from over a billion members to make the case that the skills employers are hunting for right now are not the ones most professionals are building, and that the gap between what AI can produce and what humans can offer is closing faster than anyone is prepared for.In this conversation, we discuss:Why AI has commoditized knowledge itself, and what professionals actually come to LinkedIn for that no chatbot can give themWhat separates content that spreads beyond your network from content that stays stuck inside it, and what LinkedIn's systems are really looking forWhy AI is a great tool for getting your voice out, and the exact moment it starts working against you insteadThe mindset Dan drills into his team about passion and failure, and the one thing he says you are never allowed to get wrongHow a mission-driven company resists the pull to chase clicks and ad revenue, and what Dan's old-world instincts taught him to unlearnThe two categories of skills surging in demand right now, and why the second list is the one most people overlook Explore this conversation:00:00 Intro and AI Fun Fact: Stop Giving AI Human Adjectives 04:10 Introducing Dan Roth, Editor in Chief at LinkedIn 05:50 Leadership Lessons from 15 Years at LinkedIn Mission and Failure12:30 LinkedIn Authenticity AI Content and Protecting Community Integrity18:27 Moderation vs Distribution: What LinkedIn Promotes and Why 23:55 Ad Revenue vs Mission: The Cost of Chasing Clicks 28:24 Skills on the Rise: What to Build in an AI World 34:29 Going Undercover and Staying Flexible in Your Career Resources:Subscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Daniel on LinkedInAI fun fact articleOn How AI is making networks smartOther episode mentioned in the show: 315: Tony Stubblebine, CEO of Medium, On Human Curation, Subscription-Driven Quality, and Fixing the Internet LIVE EVENT: See how leading enterprises are using agentic AI to give employees back 4–6 productive hours every week.

Der EVL-Halbmarathon in Leverkusen liegt hinter uns – und die Stimmung war richtig stark! Während Schmidti die Moderation vor Ort in vollen Zügen genossen hat, musste Hendrik auf der Strecke diesmal etwas mehr kämpfen als geplant - hatte aber einen Plan B in der Tasche. Wir sprechen über das Event, die Atmosphäre und darüber, warum nicht jeder Wettkampf ein Selbstläufer ist.Außerdem haben wir einen ganz besonderen Gast: Max Thorwirth. Profi-Läufer, Podcaster, Athletensprecher, Event-Organisator – und irgendwie schafft er es nebenbei auch noch zu trainieren. Und das auf höchstem Niveau! Wir sprechen mit Max über seinen Weg in die Leichtathletik, warum aus ihm kein Basketball-Profi geworden ist, wie er seine aktuelle sportliche Situation in seinem letzten Jahr als Laufprofi einschätzt und wann wir (endlich!) mit seinem Marathondebüt rechnen können.Natürlich geht es auch um die deutsche Laufszene, die gerade spektakulär im Aufwind ist, seine Tätigkeit als Athletensprecher und die Frage, die viele von euch interessiert: Wie schafft es Max neben diesem Pensum noch, so viele Infografiken zu den Ergebnissen der deutschen Laufstars nahezu in Echtzeit zu produzieren?Ab geht's – lauft mit!*

This week on Think Thursday, Molly explores a fascinating concept from Jim Collins' newest book, What to Make of a Life: encodings—the unique interests, abilities, and areas of engagement that make us come alive.Using the remarkable story of NFL legend and Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page, Molly examines how our lives may hold more possibilities than we realize and why the person we are today is not the final version of ourselves.Drawing connections to Benjamin Hardy's Personality Isn't Permanent and the science of neuroplasticity, this episode challenges the belief that our identities are fixed and invites us to remain curious about who we might still become.In This Episode: What Jim Collins means by "encodings"  The surprising second career of Alan Page  Why identity is more flexible than we think  How neuroplasticity supports lifelong growth and discovery  The difference between your history and your potential  Why changing your relationship with alcohol can create space for new possibilities  How curiosity may be more important than finding a single purpose Key TakeawayYour past tells the story of what you've experienced so far. It does not define everything you're capable of becoming. There may be strengths, interests, and opportunities still waiting to emerge—and your next chapter may reveal a side of yourself you haven't yet discovered.Resources MentionedWhat to Make of a Life by Jim CollinsPersonality Isn't Permanent by Benjamin HardyListen in and consider this question: What if the most interesting part of your story hasn't happened yet? ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us Fan MailMost people don't talk honestly enough about drinking more than they planned.Not because they have no discipline.Not because they are broken.Not because they need more shame.But often because alcohol has become the way they switch off, calm down, reward themselves, or deal with stress, overthinking, grief, or emotional overload.In this episode, I'm joined by Tansy Forrest, clinical hypnotherapist and author of Ten Steps to Drink Less and Live Well.Tansy shares her own story of realizing alcohol had become a coping tool after grief, and how hypnotherapy helped her change her relationship with drinking. Today, she helps high-functioning adults drink less without labels, shame, or all-or-nothing thinking.We talk about:Why alcohol often becomes the “off switch” after a long dayThe connection between overthinking, overworking, and overdrinkingWhy willpower alone usually doesn't workWhy moderation is a skill you can learnHow to plan your drinking before the evening startsWhat to do after a night where you drank more than plannedHow hypnotherapy can help calm the nervous system and interrupt automatic patternsBetter ways to unwind without using alcohol as the only toolThis conversation is not about judging alcohol or telling everyone they must quit forever.It is about awareness, planning, self-trust, and learning how to feel more in control.If you've ever told yourself, “I'll just have one,” and then it turned into more than you planned, this episode is for you.Learn more about Tansy's work at tansyforrest.com , her YouTube Channel @tansyforrest and find her book Ten Steps to Drink Less and Live Well on Amazon.If you want help building healthier routines around food, fitness, stress, and real-life habits, check my coaching options here:personaltrainerturo.it

Most people use moderation as a reason to keep doing what they are doing. Dr. Columbus Batiste says that is exactly the mindset that can have lasting health implications. In this episode of NHA Today, Dr. Stephan Esser sits down with Dr. Columbus Batiste, board-certified interventional cardiologist, author, and co-founder of Healthy Heart Nation. Known as the Healthy Heart Doc, Dr. Batiste has spent his career doing what most cardiologists do not: asking patients not just what they eat, but what they eat for their health - and then building a plan around what they actually want. His personal story is the backbone of this conversation. His father was health-conscious, ran a health food store, and juiced long before it was fashionable - but also loved sodasand sweets in moderation. He died from the effects of diabetes. Reading Caldwell Esselstyn's chapter titled Moderation Kills changed the course of Dr. Batiste's career. In this conversation you will learn:• Why moderation is a justification we only apply to things we know we should not be doing• The three most heart-protective food groups and why they work at the cellular level• How to talk to patients (or yourself) about food in a way that actually creates change• The SELFISH acronym: seven pillars of heart health from spirituality to humor• Why 80% of health outcomes happen outside the doctor's office• The role of stress, presence, and relationships in cardiovascular disease• Dr. Batiste's take on AI in medicine and what an elderly patient said that stopped him cold• What he is bringing to the NHA Annual Conference this June ---ABOUT DR. COLUMBUS BATISTE---Columbus Batiste, MD is a board-certified interventional cardiologist, co-founder of Healthy Heart Nation, and author of Selfish: A Cardiologist's Guide to Curing a Stressed and Broken Heart. He is the Regional Chief of Cardiology for Southern California Permanente Medical Group and a celebrity media contributor featured in documentaries, articles, and podcasts worldwide.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly kicks off the series When Drinking Less Feels Hard, inspired by real responses from the Alcohol Minimalist community about the hardest parts of changing drinking habits.Today's episode focuses on one of the five Alcohol Core Beliefs: Alcohol Helps Me Relieve Stress.Alcohol can feel like relief in the moment because it creates a short-term shift in the brain and body. But that does not mean it is actually reducing stress. Molly explains how alcohol can disrupt sleep, increase next-day anxiety, and keep the brain stuck in the loop of believing alcohol is necessary for relaxation. This episode helps you look at stress drinking with curiosity instead of shame, and offers a practical way to challenge the belief that alcohol is the best or only way to unwind.In This Episode Why alcohol feels calming at first  The difference between a state change and real stress relief  How alcohol can affect sleep, anxiety, and next-day resilience  Why the brain learns to associate alcohol with relief  How to use See, Soothe, Separate, and Shift to challenge the urge to drink Key TakeawayWanting relief is human. But alcohol often borrows calm from tomorrow instead of creating real relief today.Listener PracticeBefore drinking in response to stress, pause and complete this sentence:“I need a drink because…”Then use the Alcohol Core Beliefs process:See: I'm having the thought that alcohol will relieve this stress. Soothe: Of course my brain is offering this; I've practiced this pattern. Separate: The fact is I'm stressed. The story is that alcohol is required. Shift: I can create real relief before I decide what to drink.Choose one action that actually addresses the need underneath the urge.Resources Mentioned:Alcohol Core Beliefs MindmapSee, Soothe, Separate, ShiftWhen Drinking Less Feels Hard seriesLow 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.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly revisits the past episode on why habits can feel unbreakable—and why the real issue is often not the behavior itself, but the story we keep repeating about it.Your brain is not broken. It is designed to recognize patterns, conserve energy, and repeat what feels familiar. But when familiar patterns are fueled by negative self-talk, change can feel harder than it needs to be.Molly explains how the negativity bias keeps us focused on what went wrong and shares a simple framework to help interrupt old thought patterns: See, Soothe, Separate, and Shift.What You'll Learn Why your brain defaults to familiar habits.  How negative self-talk keeps old patterns alive.  Why one mistake can feel bigger than five wins.  How to separate facts from stories.  How to practice a next-best thought that supports change. Key TakeawayYour habit is not unbreakable. It is learned.And if your brain can learn one pattern, it can learn another. Changing your relationship with alcohol starts with changing the story you tell yourself about what is possible.Mentioned in This EpisodeThink Thursday Negativity bias  Negative self-talk  Habit change Alcohol Minimalist Facebook GroupMaking Peace with AlcoholUntil next time, choose peace. ★ Support this podcast ★

Realignment Newsletter: https://therealignment.substack.com/ Realignment Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/therealignment Email the Show: realignmentpod@gmail.com The Realignment host Marshall Kosloff and Niskanen Center Senior Fellow Steve Teles are set to appear at WelcomeFest 2026 today in Washington, DC. WelcomeFest is known as the biggest annual gathering of the political center. Steve will appear on a panel titled, "Building Centrist Abundance." Marshall will interview Senator Ruben Gallego and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins on the center's lack of a broad story and worldview that can respond to an anti-status quo moment. Ahead of their appearances, Marshall and Steve discuss their problems with "moderation," an approach to politics associated with gatherings like WelcomeFest. While defending moderation as a personality and instinct, they differentiate between "higher" and "lower" forms of moderation and offer alternative approaches for politicians, organizations, and movements associated with the idea. 

Submit media fails you see, and get facts, links, images and more at TheyStandCorrected.substack.com. Celebrate and support the fight for truth by becoming a Founding Member! News giants have been fixating on horse-race coverage of primaries, and misleading the country. While the headlines play up support for far-right and far-left candidates, Americans are clamoring for moderation. Today, Josh digs into the data. He shows that overwhelming numbers of Americans say Republicans and Democrats have gone too far in their ideological directions. He highlights how Big Media hides the truth about the top issues for voters. A survey finds that Americans worry “a great deal” about terrorism — even more than energy affordability and illegal immigration. But you wouldn’t know that from the New York Times.  Also, the media keeps churning out political predictions despite a long record of being very wrong. USA Today humor columnist Rex Huppke joins Josh to discuss his wish: “Make stupidity embarrassing again.” Josh shares the story of a “news” anchor known for spouting nonsense shamelessly before Trump became president the first time.  Plus, new arrests of women in Western countries who have been carrying out the slave trade for ISIS, the Islamic State. Josh discusses why the majority of those arrested in democracies have been women, and why many so-called “human rights” campaigners stay silent about this slavery — as well as the chattel slavery that still exists in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.

You are not your cravings. True transformation isn't about white-knuckling through deprivation; it's about creating space between the urge and your reaction so you can choose to act with intention. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon sits down with Laura Elorza, a clinical psychologist dedicated to helping people break free from autopilot living and discover the difference between fleeting pleasure and genuine happiness. Laura is the mind behind Unconscious Moderation, a transformative platform that combines hypnotherapy, reflective journaling, and movement to help individuals reshape their relationship with alcohol, completely free of shame or labels. Drawing from her academic rigor, including a clinical psychology degree from Universidad EAFIT and a psychodynamically focused master's from Universidad del Norte, Laura brings immense human-centered warmth to her work.

In this revisited episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores the connection between ADHD and alcohol use. For many people with ADHD, alcohol can seem helpful at first—quieting a busy brain, easing anxiety, or creating a sense of calm—but it can also worsen impulsivity, sleep, emotional regulation, and decision-making over time. Molly explains why ADHD may increase vulnerability to overdrinking, binge drinking, and using alcohol as a coping tool. She also discusses why it's important to be thoughtful about drinking when taking ADHD medications and why support, planning, and self-compassion matter.In This Episode What ADHD is and how symptoms can show up differently  Why alcohol may feel temporarily useful for ADHD symptoms  How alcohol can make ADHD challenges worse  The role of dopamine, impulsivity, and emotional regulation  Why ADHD medication and alcohol can be a concerning combination  Practical supports like a Doable Drink Plan, mindfulness, therapy, coaching, and medical guidance Listener ReflectionAre you using alcohol to quiet your brain, regulate emotions, reduce restlessness, or make life feel more manageable?Noticing the pattern is not a reason for shame. It is a starting point for change.DisclaimerThis episode is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Please consult a qualified healthcare provider if you have questions about ADHD, alcohol use, or medication interactions.Until next time, choose peace.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.

Award-winning comedian and broadcaster John Robins tackles the fundamental question: are alcoholics born or made?In this episode, John opens up about his 20-year struggle with chronic alcohol use, the childhood signs that hid in plain sight, and why every "moderation spreadsheet" failed until he accepted that one drink was the real problem.The conversation moves past the "why" of addiction to focus entirely on the "how" of recovery. John shares the exact moment a podcast changed everything, the reality of rock bottom, and how he uses a toolkit of 12-step meetings, meditation, and running to build new neural pathways. It's a raw, deeply honest look at the daily practice of sobriety and the liberating truth that you can only ever get one day sober in a day.This episode covers the following themes: Addiction, Acceptance, Denial, Moderation, and Recovery.John's book Thirst: Twelve Drinks that Changed My Life is out now: https://amzn.eu/d/0ahkSNchNeed Support?Samaritans: Call 116 123 or visit samaritans.orgNarcotics Anonymous: na.orgAlcoholics Anonymous: alcoholics-anonymous.org.ukMental Health Mates: mentalhealthmates.co.ukShout: https: giveusashout.orgIAPT: https://www.england.nhs.uk/mental-health/adults/nhs-talking-therapies/Better Help

In this final Think Thursday episode for Mental Health Awareness Month, Molly explores the difference between emotional regulation and emotional suppression — and why so many high-functioning people are carrying emotional stress they've never fully acknowledged.You'll learn how the nervous system continues responding to emotions even when we try to override or ignore them, why coping behaviors often emerge when emotions go unnamed, and how becoming more aware of your thoughts and feelings can create powerful emotional agency and lasting behavior change.This episode also explores: The neuroscience of emotional suppression and stress  Stanford psychologist James Gross's research on emotion regulation  UCLA research on “affect labeling” and calming the nervous system  Why thoughts — not circumstances — create emotional experiences  How awareness creates space, and space creates choice  The connection between emotional honesty, nervous system health, and behavior change If you've been feeling emotionally flat, chronically overwhelmed, unusually reactive, or disconnected from yourself, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and begin listening to what your nervous system may be trying to tell you.Resources & Research Mentioned: James Gross, Stanford University — Emotion Regulation Research  Matthew Lieberman, UCLA — Affect Labeling & Emotional Processing ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of The Visible Voices Podcast, Dr. Columbus Batiste — interventional cardiologist, lifestyle medicine physician, Regional Chief of Cardiology for Southern California Permanente Medical Group, founder of Healthy Heart Nation, and author of Selfish: A Cardiologist's Guide to Healing a Broken Heart — makes the case that prescriptions and procedures alone are not enough. Dr. Batiste draws on the preventable losses of his father and father-in-law to explore why moderation is not a health strategy, what inflammation and silent chronic disease are doing beneath the surface, and how food, breath, love, sleep, and laughter are evidence-based medicine. He shares the science behind hibiscus tea, dark leafy greens, garlic, blueberries, and beets as blood pressure and heart health tools, and offers practical guidance for patients at every income level.

Google uses AI to scan users' Google Drives, and banned the mangaka of Aki Sora for uploading some of his old series to his drive. He claims it might've been spicy, but it wasn't illegal. And there's zero chance of appeal. Just a reminder that Google sees EVERYTHING you upload to Drive, and if they disapprove, you can lose access forever.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly revisits one of the show's most popular topics: buffering.Buffering is what we do when we use alcohol, food, shopping, scrolling, or other distractions to avoid uncomfortable emotions. It is not a character flaw—it is a human coping strategy driven by a brain wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain.Molly explains how alcohol can become a buffer for stress, boredom, insecurity, or discomfort, and why temporary relief often leads to more anxiety, regret, or overconsumption later. The goal is not to feel good all the time. The goal is to build awareness, feel your feelings, and stop using alcohol to escape your life. In This EpisodeYou'll learn: What buffering is  Why alcohol is commonly used to avoid emotions  How the lower brain seeks quick relief  Why buffering creates temporary pleasure but long-term consequences  How awareness helps you change your drinking habits  Why feeling discomfort is part of creating a peaceful relationship with alcohol Key TakeawayBuffering does not solve uncomfortable emotions—it only delays them. When you stop using alcohol to numb, distract, or escape, you can begin to understand what you are actually feeling and create real, lasting change.Reflection QuestionThe next time you want a drink, pause and ask:“What am I feeling right now, and what am I trying not to feel?”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 ★

Do you ever reach the end of the day feeling mentally exhausted but wonder what you actually accomplished? You're not imagining it. What we often call multitasking is actually rapid task switching, and every shift in attention comes with a hidden cost.In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores the neuroscience behind attention, cognitive fatigue, and why modern life constantly pulls our brains in more directions than they were designed to handle. You'll learn why your brain can feel drained even when you haven't done anything physically demanding and why protecting your attention may be one of the healthiest things you can do.In this episode:• Why multitasking is mostly a myth • The concept of “attention residue” and how it impacts focus • The role of the prefrontal cortex and working memory • Why novelty and dopamine keep pulling us toward distractions • How modern technology competes for your attention • A simple 20-minute experiment to help reclaim your focusThink Thursday Experiment:Choose one thing and give it 20 uninterrupted minutes.

What is gray area drinking for women – and what happens when “drink less” slowly turns into “I don't even want this anymore”? In this Where Are They Now conversation, Calley returns after first appearing on the podcast in October 2019 to share what seven years alcohol-free really looks like. Talking with Coach Hayley, she reflects on motherhood, moving, social discomfort, and the quiet but powerful shift from worrying about what was in her glass to simply living free. It's an honest, encouraging look at what changes when curiosity replaces shame and alcohol stops taking up so much space in your mind. Calley and Hayley discuss: Motherhood, moving, and realizing wine was taking up more space than she wanted What is gray area drinking for women—and why curiosity matters before things feel “serious enough.” From social discomfort to feeling fully at home in her alcohol-free skin Honest conversations with kids about alcohol, pressure, and awareness Why community, compassion, and knowledge matter more than shame How freedom from alcohol opened the door to deeper healing around sugar, caffeine, and self-trust And more on confidence, connection, and building a life that feels good without alcohol Episode links: thisnakedmindapp.com Related Episodes: Naked Life Story – Calley | EP 219 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-219-naked-life-story-calley-2-2/ How are alcohol cravings similar to sugar? | Reader Question | EP 516 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-516-reader-question-how-are-alcohol-cravings-similar-to-sugar/ Gray Area Drinking with Jolene Park | Naked Life Story | EP 47 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-47-naked-life-story-jolene-park/ Ready to take the next step on your journey? Visit https://learn.thisnakedmind.com/podcast-resources for free resources, programs, and more.
