Burnout has quietly become a badge of honor. But what if it is actually your nervous system asking you to stop, listen, and do things differently?In this episode of Whinypaluza Podcast, Rebecca Greene sits down with Helen Malinowski, founder of the Somatic Integration Institute and Beacon of Hope Counseling, for a deeply grounding conversation about sustainable success.Helen shares how her own experience with burnout during pregnancy reshaped her approach to leadership, motherhood, and business. Instead of pushing harder, she built a seven figure group therapy practice centered on nervous system regulation, community, and human first leadership.This episode explores why burnout has become normalized, how somatic awareness helps us regulate stress in real time, and why true success supports your clients, your family, and yourself without sacrificing any one of them.Key Takeaways → Burnout is a warning sign, not a measure of dedication or success. → Nervous system regulation begins with simple grounding and awareness practices. → Community is one of the strongest protectors against burnout, both at work and at home. → Sustainable leadership balances people, purpose, and business needs together. → Boundaries are embodied, not just spoken, and require practice and self-awareness. → Small moments of regulation throughout the day can prevent long-term overwhelm.If this conversation resonated with you, take a moment to notice where your body is asking for more support. Share this episode with someone who is carrying too much, and remember to spend every day laughing, learning, and loving.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1257: Chinese automakers are taking real share in Europe, AI at NADA is growing up fast, and U.S. consumer confidence just hit a decade low. Chinese automakers just hit a milestone in Europe, capturing nearly one in 10 new-car sales. Fueled by competitive EVs and hybrids, strong battery tech, and rapid expansion, Chinese brands are moving from disruptors to serious incumbents across the continent.Chinese brands claimed 9.5% of Europe's total car market in December, a record share.Electrified vehicles are the growth engine, with Chinese automakers now holding 16% of Europe's EV and plug-in hybrid market, more than double last year.Europe's auto industry is under strain, with over 110,000 jobs lost in 18 months, as domestic brands face shrinking share at home and abroad.“The progression of Chinese cars in Europe is massive… It's a matter of survival for our industry,” said Roberto Vavassori, head of Italy's Anfia trade group.AI is everywhere in dealer tech talk, but 2026 is shaping up as the year it moves from buzzword to baseline. At NADA in Las Vegas, expect fewer “wow” moments and far more conversations about integration, maturity, and ROI.More than 40 AI-specific exhibitors are registered for NADA 2026, up from just 10 last year, with many more vendors baking AI into existing platforms.Expect AI centered on lead engagement, chat, marketing automation, inventory, pricing, service prediction and moreDealers are showing up with sharper questions, focusing on cost savings, productivity, and ROI, not shiny add-ons or disconnected tools.“Everybody has the same ice cream. It's just flavored a little bit different,” said Cox Automotive's Mo Zahabi, summing up what dealers should expect on the floor.America's economic mood just took a sharp turn south. Consumer confidence fell to its lowest level in more than a decade in January, with households rattled by rising prices, job anxiety, and geopolitical noise—setting up an uneasy backdrop for spending as 2026 gets underway.The Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 84.5, its lowest reading since 2014 and well below economist expectations, signaling broad-based unease.Inflation remains front and center, with consumers citing food, gas, electricity, insurance costs, and tariffs as top concerns.“The K-shaped economy is great for the top 20%, but many middle-class Americans are barely keeping up,” said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union.This episode of the Automotive State of the Union is brought to you by Amazon Autos: Meet customers where they shop: Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode of the Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, Dr. Whitney Casares sits down with Alyssa Campbell, parenting educator, school consultant, and bestselling author of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, to talk about why the elementary and middle school years can feel surprisingly hard for kids and parents.They unpack what's really going on beneath meltdowns, shutdowns, and “they're old enough to know better” moments, including how nervous systems, sensory processing, and neurodivergence shape kids' behavior. Alyssa shares powerful stories from her own family and from her work in schools, showing why regulation—not perfection—is the foundation for learning, connection, and emotional growth.This conversation is a validating reminder that parenting isn't about doing everything “right.” It's about understanding the kid you actually have, meeting them where they are, and learning how to move through hard moments together.Read more.

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
Practicing peace is an intentional choice. It is not something we wait for once circumstances improve. It is something we practice in our breath, our bodies, and our awareness, even while uncertainty and grief remain present. This conversation offers a reminder that peace begins with you. Peace is not denial or bypassing. It is the practice of staying present with what is real while remaining regulated. PEARLS OF WISDOM Peace begins with you. When the world feels overwhelming, we often notice it first in our bodies. Uncertainty often prompts us to feel urgency, vigilance, and reactivity. Nervous system regulation is a skill for sustainable medicine and a sustainable life. Small, consistent embodied practices can interrupt spinning and reactivity. Peace practiced internally ripples outward into our families, workplaces, and communities. Reflection Questions: What does your body need in order to feel even a little more settled today? What is within your control right now, even if it is very small? If peace doesn't resonate, which word feels most supportive in this season: peace, kindness, love, connection, or something else? Many of the practices shared in this episode are ones we return to again and again in coaching, yoga, and retreats because they work. Whether it is the "Peace Begins With Me" finger-tapping mantra, grounding through the feet, restorative yoga, sound healing, or mindful time in nature, these tools support us in staying connected to ourselves when the world feels heavy. Community also offers peace. Group coaching and retreats offer a chance to practice these tools in community. Coaching provides space to explore how to integrate peace, agency, and presence into daily life and clinical work. Yoga and mindfulness practices offer a direct, embodied pathway to nervous system regulation. Retreats weave all of this AND nature into one. They allow space to slow down, reconnect, and remember what it feels like to be held and supported.

Reclaiming Your Life: Healing Chronic Pain and Illness with Lori ClemmonsEpisode Summary:In this transformative episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, we welcome Lori Clemmons—compassionate wellness coach, certified clinical trauma specialist, NLP master practitioner, hypnotherapy expert, and survivor of chronic illness. Lori shares her remarkable journey of living with chronic illness and pain for over 27 years, including being bedridden for more than a year and homebound for over two. Despite following every traditional path to healing—from medication to specialized diets—nothing worked… until she approached healing from the inside out.Lori opens up about the emotional and physical toll of chronic illness and how a shift in perspective—slowing down, cultivating joy, and finding peace—transformed her health and life. She teaches that true healing starts when we calm the nervous system and create space for the body to rest and repair.If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless on your health journey, Lori's story offers real hope and practical steps to reclaim your well-being. Learn how mindfulness, self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and small daily choices can ignite powerful healing from within.Key Takeaways:Chronic illness can be linked to an overactive stress response—we can't heal when we're stuck in fight-or-flight.Healing often begins by slowing down and making space for joy, art, stillness, and gratitude.You can experience joy even with symptoms.Nervous system regulation is foundational—start small: one breath, one walk, one kind word to yourself.Positive self-talk and compassionate self-coaching are powerful tools for long-term wellness.Healing is not about doing more—it's about being more present and choosing what nourishes your mind, body, and spirit.Powerful Quotes from Lori Clemmons:“I started trying to find joy in life rather than slogging through and working so hard... and once I made that switch, my symptoms started reducing. Within about 10 months, my symptoms were all gone.”“It wasn't until I could relax the nervous system that my body had the energy to be able to focus on healing. And it was amazing.”“If you have a fire in the kitchen, it's not the time to be making your bed.”“We reclaim moments. And by reclaiming moments, we calm the nervous system and allow the body to heal.”An Invitation to Our Listeners:If you're dealing with chronic illness or pain, we invite you to pause. Reflect. And consider that healing might not be about trying harder, but about softening, listening, and allowing your body to return to safety. As Dr. John Demartini says, “Incurable means curable from within.”Connect with Lori Clemmons:
Oh hey y'all.This episode is one of those conversations where you feel seen, called out and deeply reassured all at once. I'm joined by Dr Sienna Olson, and honestly, this one goes everywhere it needs to go. We talk about strength training as identity, nervous system regulation for high performing women, and why so many of us are doing everything “right” but still feel exhausted and disconnected from our bodies.We also get into disordered eating, burnout, hormones, spirituality without bypassing the body, and what it actually looks like to lead yourself instead of fighting yourself. This is about performance and peace, science and soul, and learning to listen to your body instead of bullying it into submission.Highlights:(01:41) Why high achieving women feel burnt out even when they're doing all the right things(06:47) The hidden cost of extreme dieting and overtraining(17:06) Strength training as identity, not just aesthetics(22:40) Simple nervous system regulation that actually works(29:21) Spirituality without bypassing the body(38:47) Peptides, hype, healing and what to know before jumping inQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole's on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole's bestselling children's book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

Got a question, comment, or just want to drop some encouragement? Send us a text.If you've wondered how to talk about violence, power, and dignity without overwhelming your home, this conversation offers tools rooted in our expertise in nervous system regulation, and everyday compassion. We open up about why we're choosing to speak plainly about human dignity. From there, we get practical. We share a simple four-step framework to move from silence to steady action: clarify your values, align with your partner, tell a thoughtful story to your kids, and decide how you will say "no" to dehumanization. Alignment doesn't demand identical opinions; it asks for shared values that guide how you speak, set limits, and model courage. We also talk about how kids feel the energy we think we're hiding, and why offering coherent, calm language restores safety in the family system.Listen for practical examples—to refuse the dehumanizing climate taking place in our country —and see how small, repeated acts become a family culture. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more families find support.Do you want to learn about the one thing we think every individual and couple needs to know for healthy communication and connection?

Why does it feel like so many kids are anxious, overwhelmed, and melting down lately?I break down what's really behind the rise in childhood anxiety — and it's not just behavior, temperament, or “bad habits.”Children's nervous systems are biologically wired for slowness, rhythm, predictability, and unstructured play, yet modern life moves at an adult pace: rushed mornings, packed schedules, overstimulating screens, and constant transitions. This mismatch is leaving kids disregulated — and their anxiety often shows up through sleep struggles, meltdowns, stomach aches, emotional outbursts, and difficulty handling small challenges.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why anxiety in kids shows up in behavior, not words- How overstimulation and packed schedules dysregulate the nervous system- The hidden cost of too many transitions and activities- Why unstructured play and boredom are essential for emotional regulation- How parental stress directly impacts a child's nervous system- Why doing less, not more, is often the solution- Simple ways to slow mornings, afternoons, and bedtime routines- How to create rhythm without rigidity in your homeSubscribe to Help Them Bloom: Follow us on Instagram: @hatchandbloomco instagram.com/hatchandbloomco Visit our website: https://www.hatchandbloom.co/Produced by Haynow Media: https://haynowmedia.com/

In this powerful episode, Tick Boot Camp Podcast interviews Dr. Karolina Praskeviciute (“Dr. Pras”), a multilingual, European-trained medical doctor who has lived in Lithuania, Hong Kong, London, and the United States, traveled to 89 countries, and now uses her global experience to understand chronic illness from a unique vantage point. Dr. Pras shares her deeply personal story of lifelong unexplained symptoms, childhood mold exposure, a bull's-eye rash at age 15, and a medical system unequipped to recognize chronic tick-borne illness. After a devastating case of early COVID-19 in February 2020, her immune system collapsed, triggering full-blown Lyme disease, Babesia, Bartonella, tick-borne relapsing fever, MCAS, and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). This conversation bridges both sides of medicine—Western and functional—and explores how chronic illness forced Dr. Pras to reevaluate everything she learned as a third-generation physician. She now brings a rare, dual perspective as both clinician and patient. Key Topics Covered ➤ Growing up in Lithuania: culture, safety, freedom & early mold exposure She describes an independent childhood surrounded by nature—but also living in a poorly insulated home with significant hidden mold that triggered early allergies, stomach pain, nosebleeds, and metallic taste. ➤ Medical school awakening: Why Western medicine failed her symptoms Despite coming from a family of doctors, she noticed early on that conventional medicine couldn't explain many of her symptoms—and she witnessed firsthand how chronic illness is minimized, dismissed, or mislabeled. ➤ The first tick bite at 15 & the bull's-eye rash ignored by doctors Despite developing textbook erythema migrans, pediatricians refused treatment. Her mother initiated a short doxycycline course on her own—far too short to prevent chronic Lyme. ➤ Traveling the world & accumulating exposures After living and working across continents, she now believes different strains, microbes, and environmental factors layered into the perfect storm. ➤ Long COVID as the breaking point Like many chronically ill patients, COVID destabilized everything: massive immune dysregulation nonstop inflammation MCAS flares worsening neurological symptoms Lyme and Babesia fully activating ➤ Mold + Lyme + Long COVID = The Perfect Storm Her CIRS diagnosis revealed why she never recovered even after leaving mold exposure—and why immune dysfunction made Lyme treatment far more complex. ➤ Her diagnostic breakthrough with IGeneX After repeated false-negative Western blots, specialty testing finally uncovered: Lyme Babesia Bartonella Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) Immune activation on FISH testing ➤ Treatment: Herbs, LymeStop, detox, keto, and functional medicine Her current regimen includes: Houttuynia (major reduction in joint pain within 1 week) Cryptolepis (powerful antimicrobial requiring slow titration) Custom herbal protocols (single-herb tinctures) HBOT INUSpheresis Light sauna Gentle lymphatic drainage Vagus nerve support Journaling & limbic system retraining Strict ketogenic diet after a 7-day fast dramatically reduced inflammation She also discusses the risks of Botox, fillers, tattoos, and skincare toxins for chronically ill patients. ➤ Nervous system healing as the foundation of recovery She explains why vagus nerve work and limbic retraining may fail if patients are still in toxin exposure (like mold or endotoxins)—a vital distinction rarely discussed. ➤ Becoming a doctor who understands chronic illness from both sides This episode explores: medical defensiveness gaslighting vs unhealthy doctor-patient dynamics why patients must be empowered, not dismissed why doctors also need compassion and realistic expectations how her future clinical practice will integrate empathy, functional medicine, and lived experience Top Quotes From Dr. Pras “I dismissed my own symptoms because I was trained to believe nothing was wrong unless labs proved it.” “Mold was the silent force that weakened my system long before Lyme took over.” “Healing is not linear. Some days it feels like I'm starting over, but I always come back stronger.” “Doctors have tools—but without a healthy doctor-patient relationship, those tools don't work.” “I can help others now because I know when to push and when to pull back. Lived experience matters.” Where to Find Dr. Karolina Pras Instagram: @drkaromd Email: drkaro@healthkonsultant.com (“consultant” spelled with a K)

Dear one,A winter storm is sweeping its way across the US. Where I live, Minnesota is bracing below zero degrees — From snow to frigid cold - it slows the world, ices the branches, and hushes everything under a weight of cold clarity.Our city of Minneapolis is under siege and near anarchy.Saddened. And honestly? It feels familiar.Not just outside, but internally too — like something in the atmosphere, inside and out, is shifting.We all feel the drip drip - FLOOD of energetic uncertainty. You know those days when it feels like life is doing more than landing gently?Sudden overwhelm. Unexpected feedback. A decision rising to the surface before you feel ready. Emotions that crack like ice under your ribs.Every choice we make carries profound creative consequences. We are remarkable agents of creation. With that in mind, my desire is helping you genuinely understand that every choice you make in life sets powerful creative forces in motion. There are profound shifts we believe are happening “out there,” when in truth they are happening in here. We are the engines of everything unfolding around us—and that is a difficult truth to fully comprehend.I've come to understand power as the fundamental ingredient of life. Everything is about power—absolutely everything.This is a POWERFUL energetic winter — when everything gets quiet, stretched, cold, and cracked open… all at once.These moments don't ask for performance.PAUSE …..They ask for presence. Think of Japanese calligraphy. The magic isn't just in the ink; it's in the white space. In our lives, that white space is the Pause. It's the gap between tasks where transformation actually happens.Because even on the days when your thoughts feel loud, your nervous system feels tight, and your emotional body is pulsing just outside your window of welcome — there is wisdom here.Our Souls incarnate to experience creatorship through choice, allowing us to express ourselves as unique aspects of the Divine.Only in the third dimension can Souls distinctly witness their creative abilities within separate bodies, making our actions and experiences truly our own—…it's about individuation. While manifesting follows Universal Law, each Soul uniquely interacts with these laws, encoded at the seventh-dimensional level of our Divine Oversoul's Devotion here on earth. The LIGHT BETWEEN ORACLE EXPERIENCE creates a time for wonder, contemplation and problem solving The Light Between Oracle App supports you through intense emotional experiences in real time.It's your personalized support tool designed to meet you in the middle of the inner snowstorm, not after the skies clear.Inside the self empowering oracle experience, you'll find:* Responsive, interactive intuitive readings that shift based on your energy and intention* Nervous system regulation tools to help you stay connected when you feel scattered, numb, or flooded* Soul-level journaling prompts, visualization journeys, and symbolic guidance that helps you turn emotional static into grounded clarity* A gently intelligent structure designed by someone who understands trauma, healing, leadership, and magicIf there is anything we've learned in the chaotic start of 2026, we know we cannot escape the storm of a fast changing world.BUT, we can find our footing inside it — moment by moment.Because when you can stay a few seconds longer with what's rising — even when it's sharp, shaky, or snow-blind — you open a new pathway inside your body. One where kindness, grace, and calm return on their own time.Sometimes the sky cracks for a reason.Sometimes the storm isn't chaos — it's recalibration.The five guiding lights offer a contemplative space that does not overwhelm you with more noise. Each guide meets you where you are and helps you hear yourself through it all. You don't have to be calm to begin; you just need to show up with one intention. Let each pause be your co-regulator. Your sacred pause. The gentle hand on your back that says: “It's going to be ok. You only can save yourself. You're just being reshaped.”Life is not a series of separate experiences. We are one unified bio-spiritual system. Sending you so much love healing and the will to PAUSE and CONTEMPLATE where there is still peace, hope and evolution as we heal our collective trauma.Warmth in the wild weather,Love - KassandraP.S. If life feels like slush right now — swirl, slide, standstill — no shame. These are the conditions in which we often uncover the very inner signals we've been too busy to hear. The Light Between is designed to catch those signals and help you make sense of them. You don't have to “figure it out.” You just have to open the app, and let your energy tell you where you are.P.P.S. Bundle up. Light the candle. Take a breath. The storm doesn't get to define you — but it can reveal you. The Light Between is a reader-supported publication.

Winter Storm Fern is headed straight for St. Louis, and this daily comedy show proves once again that snow doesn't ruin cities — people do. As temperatures plunge and forecasts bounce between “maybe” and “we have no idea,” the Rizzuto Show breaks down how quickly society collapses when eggs, bread, and ground turkey disappear from shelves. From grocery store Thunderdomes and the unspoken moral obligation to help bag groceries, to the sheer chaos caused by long wallets and checks at checkout, this episode is a masterclass in winter-induced rage. Lines are down the aisles, cashiers are fighting for their lives, and Riz officially declares that refusing to help bag groceries during snow panic makes you public enemy number one. But that's just the beginning. This daily comedy show also dives into relationship limbo when someone writes in about dating a great guy who refuses to make a move. Is he shy? Nervous? Playing it cool? Or just happy with a peck on the lips and a friendship? The crew debates communication, honesty, and why sometimes you just need to say something… or answer the door naked. Then things get extra weird at the office. A guy gets accused of creating a “hostile work environment” by being too professional with female coworkers. Is he smart? Awkward? Playing it safe? Or just avoiding HR like a seasoned veteran? The discussion turns into a real look at modern workplace boundaries, misinterpretation, and why nobody feels like they can win anymore. And if that's not enough chaos, we cap it off with a wild story about a 14-year-old returning home with a full sleeve tattoo — courtesy of Cool Mom — leading to arrests, legal trouble, and one extremely popular middle schooler. Toss in horrifying tattoo regret stories, Spectrum internet panic, flamethrower snow removal ideas, and soup optimism, and you've got the perfect storm of midwest humor. This daily comedy show delivers relatable rage, weird news, and nonstop laughs — exactly what you need when you're snowed in, stuck in line, or watching someone pull out a checkbook in 2026.

Did Trump embarrass America at Davos — or did he do exactly what world leaders fear most?
One of the most powerful moments in this conversation came when Amber said: "I didn't want to do what I was doing… but it became my comfort zone." If you've ever struggled with food, alcohol, or any compulsive behavior, you know exactly what she means. This episode isn't about dieting. It's about why the body holds on — to weight, habits, protection, and survival patterns — even when we desperately want to change. Amber walks us through her healing journey, from childhood trauma and food addiction to full recovery, and explains why binge eating isn't a lack of discipline — it's often a nervous system trying to self-soothe. We discuss: Why restriction and "all-or-nothing" thinking backfire How hormones quietly sabotage progress Why negative self-talk keeps the body in fight-or-flight The difference between managing symptoms and fully healing And why detachment — not obsession — is what allows real change The biggest takeaway? Your body isn't broken. It's protecting you. And once you understand why, everything changes. ✅ Action Steps for Listeners Identify your triggers Write down emotional, physical, and environmental triggers (fatigue, stress, scale-checking, restriction). Stop blaming willpower Start asking: "What does my body need right now?" Pay attention to self-talk Notice when inner criticism appears — it's often a stress response. Support your nervous system Breathwork, journaling, walking in nature, and rest are not optional — they're foundational. Get curious about hormones If weight or cravings feel "stuck," there may be a biological reason.
Walk with me into a powerful story of loss, rebirth, and fierce integrity in this unforgettable episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light with Lopa van der Mersch, Founder and returning CEO of RASA, mother, and devoted student of Tibetan wisdom traditions. Lopa returns to the podcast for her first public conversation after years of deep initiation. She opens up about the season that dismantled everything she thought she was. Divorce, single motherhood, stepping away from leadership, and the sudden loss of her home in a devastating fire that erased nearly every external marker of identity. What followed was not collapse, but a profound rebirth. We explore how this identity death reshaped her leadership, her spirituality, and her relationship with compassion. Lopa shares how people pleasing and subtle compromise once shaped her path, and why returning as CEO required an uncompromising devotion to integrity, even when it did not make financial sense. Together, we dive into Tibetan wisdom, nervous system healing, and the difference between compassion that depletes and compassion that nourishes. Lopa reveals the daily rituals that now anchor her life, from unplugging at night and beginning mornings in practice, to allowing devotion to pulse between motherhood and leadership. We also talk about embodiment, pleasure, and beauty as necessities, not luxuries, and how RASA was born not as a product, but as a devotion to creating businesses that heal rather than harm, that nourish both people and the planet. We also talk about: -Identity death and rebuilding a life after everything falls away -Leading with integrity when compromise no longer feels possible -Tibetan wisdom as a refuge in grief, betrayal, and loss -Compassion that includes the self, not just others -Nervous system rituals that support sustainable leadership -Embodiment, sensual grounding, and pleasure as medicine -Conscious business as a path of healing and service This episode is a living transmission of what it means to lead from truth, trust yourself again, and build a life that is sane, humane, and deeply soul-led.

THE BALANCED MOMTALITY- Pelvic Floor/Core Rehab For The Pregnant and Postpartum Mom
Are you stuck in a frustrating loop of pain — wondering if you should keep pushing, completely rest, or give up altogether? In this powerful follow-up to last week's conversation on how pain talks to us, I'm walking you through real-world tools to assess, interpret, and troubleshoot pain in your body — especially when you're dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction, core issues, or musculoskeletal imbalances. We're ditching the outdated “no pain, no gain” model and stepping into an approach that's rooted in safety, nervous system regulation, and smart progression. Whether you're postpartum, lifting heavy, or managing chronic tightness or leaking — this episode will help you take back control and move forward with confidence.
Nervous system regulation isn't just about breathwork, cold exposure, or calming rituals. Those tools matter—but they're only half the equation. In this episode, we break down why true nervous system support is a two-way street: regulating the system and removing the internal stressors that keep the body stuck in survival mode. Dr. Halie talks about how things like gut infections, parasites, mold exposure, chronic inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies quietly drive fight-or-flight, making regulation practices feel ineffective or short-lived. If you're doing “all the right things” but still feel wired, tired, or inflamed, this episode explains why—and what a more honest, root-cause approach to nervous system healing actually looks like.Work with me HEREMinerals and Chill link (code drhalie10) Clean brands, supplements, non tox staples I love Connect with us on social media @drhalieschoff
We pretend this conversation lives between truth and lies, but it never has. It lives between capacity and collapse. Between what can be known and what can be survived. Between what feels morally clean and what actually keeps human systems intact. Truth does not enter a vacuum. It enters bodies. Nervous systems. Attachment histories. Unfinished developmental arcs. And the most dangerous lie we tell ourselves sounds like virtue: that truth, by virtue of being accurate, must always heal. That belief has destroyed more relationships, more psyches, and more lives than deception ever could.

Key Takeaways: Managing Emotions Matters: Successful investing starts with emotional control. When you calm nervous energy, you can think more clearly and make better decisions. Know the Difference Between Fear and Intuition: Fear and anxiety create urgency and confusion. Intuition feels calm and steady, and it helps guide thoughtful, informed actions. Emotional Stability Starts at Home: Spending quality time and being present with family helps regulate emotions. This stability carries over into better, more mature financial choices. Volatility Can Be an Advantage: Market ups and downs don't have to be scary. When understood and respected, volatility can open the door to long-term wealth. Use Both Logic and Emotional Intelligence: Smart investing combines numbers and analysis with self-awareness and intuition. Both are important for making sound decisions over time.

A Note from James:Data is oil. Data is the gold of this AI revolution. Imagine you have an AI that has all of everybody's thoughts also—so it's not just learning on tweets and texts, it's learning on the 60,000 or so thoughts that 8 billion people think each day around the world. This sounds like amazing science fiction and magic and everything that one could ever have dreamed of… or it could be the end of the world. Episode Description:In this solo episode, James breaks down a recent AI development that made him pause for the first time: OpenAI's investment in a brain-computer interface startup called Merge Labs. He explains why data is the core asset in AI—and why the next frontier isn't better chatbots, but higher-bandwidth access to human intent, attention, and ultimately thought.James compares Merge Labs' approach with Neuralink, then walks through the practical upsides: medical breakthroughs, hands-free control of devices, and AI-assisted cognition in everyday life. But he also explores the uncomfortable implications: privacy, influence, and the risk that “thought data” could become the most valuable—and most dangerous—resource on Earth. What You'll Learn:Recognize why “data is oil” is still the most important frame for AI power Understand what brain-computer interfaces are, and how they differ across companies Think through real use cases (medical, device control, communication) before the hype takes over Identify the privacy line: what “training on your thoughts” could actually mean in practice Pressure-test your own optimism about AI by asking: “Once data is shared, can it be unshared?” Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Data is oil: why AI is really a data arms race [02:40] Utopia vs dystopia vs “newtopia” [03:16] The optimist's argument: tech usually helps more than it hurts [04:39] The news: OpenAI invests $250M into Merge Labs [05:29] Why the Sam Altman overlap matters (and why it's unusual) [06:02] What brain-computer interfaces actually do [06:22] Neuralink explained: reading intent from neurons [07:44] Writing signals back to the brain: the scary part (and the helpful part) [09:39] Merge Labs' approach: engineered neurons + ultrasound [12:47] Controlling devices by thought: the “thermostat from bed” future [14:35] Telepathy as technology: brain-to-brain messaging [16:17] Influence risk: persuasion and “writing” thoughts [18:45] The real moat: not software—data [19:55] The next dataset: 60,000 thoughts/day × 8B people [21:36] The irreversible trade: once data is handed over, it's gone [22:17] Why this kind of news is accelerating Additional Resources:OpenAI — “Investing in Merge Labs” (official announcement)WIRED — coverage of OpenAI's investment and Merge Labs' BCI approachTechCrunch — reporting on the Merge Labs seed round and valuationNeuralink — official siteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
