Why Do I Feel Anxious When Nothing Is Wrong? — A 10-Minute Guided Meditation for Anxiety for No Reason | Grounding & Letting Go Why do I feel anxious when nothing is wrong? Everything is fine. Nobody has called with bad news, the house is quiet, and yet there it is: that little knot inside saying something isn't right. This guided meditation is for anxiety for no reason, the frustrating kind where there's nothing you can point to, so your mind goes searching for something to worry about and fills a perfectly ordinary quiet moment with it. For a quiet place to return to whenever this feeling catches you out, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's free companion app. Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode doesn't try to find what's wrong. Instead you'll practise what it feels like to stop looking. It starts with simple grounding (one thing you can see, one thing you can hear, one place your body is being held), then moves to noticing your breath without fixing it. Along the way you'll learn why sometimes the feeling comes first and the mind goes looking for an explanation afterwards. Then comes a steadying phrase, "I don't have to know why right now," along with affirmations for unexplained anxiety and three caring tips. Want more support?

Relational Noticing — a guided meditation for connection, curiosity and presence What happens when you pause and become curious about what is happening between you and another person — and what is happening inside you at the same time? This gentle guided meditation invites you into the practice of relational noticing: slowing down, becoming aware of your inner experience, and noticing the subtle shifts that happen when we bring curiosity and presence to our relationships. Rather than trying to change anything, you are invited simply to notice. You might use this meditation when you are: • feeling caught in a difficult relationship • aware of tension, irritation or disconnection • wanting to understand your own reactions more compassionately • preparing for a conversation • or simply wanting to become more present with yourself and others. This is a short practice you can return to whenever you need a little more space, curiosity and connection.

 Can healing and self-development become so serious that we forget to actually enjoy our lives? After returning from retreats in Copenhagen and Basel, Piers Cross reflects on something he realised while away: he had forgotten some of the joy. In this short episode of An Evolving Man Podcast, Piers explores how busyness, striving and constant self-improvement can pull us away from gratitude, connection and the simple experience of being alive. He shares three practices for reconnecting with joy: - Feeling gratitude rather than simply thinking it - Remembering positive experiences and people we have loved - Creating moments of positive connection through appreciation and praise - Noticing where life has become all effort and no flow- Remembering why we started the healing journey in the first place Healing isn't only about processing pain. It is also about learning to live, love and experience joy again. 

In this episode we'll talk about:Creating enough silence to actually hear yourself.Noticing what keeps returning to you.Paying attention to what gives you energy… and what drains it.Not confusing other people's certainty with your truth.Letting advice inform you without overriding what you know.Stop requiring outside validation for every inner knowing.Learning the difference between fear warning you and fear stretching you.Trusting gets stronger every time you act on what you know.Giving yourself enough experience to recognize your own patterns.Bringing it to God… then get quiet enough to listen.And more… START HERE…→ Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (22K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/aboutNEW HERE…→ 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE)CONNECT WITH ME…→ Instagram — @mattgottesman→ TikTok — @mattgottesman→ YouTube — @mattgottesmanRESOURCES…→ Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE→ Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE→ Apparel — thenicheisyou.comOTHER RELATED EPISODES:Faith Isn't Knowing the Whole Path… It's Taking the Next Honest StepApple: https://apple.co/3MB62IuSpotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

The Last of the Really Great Wangdoodles by Julie Andrews Edwards is a whimsical and imaginative book that encourages readers to look up and use their senses. It explores the themes of imagination, confidence, and perception, while also highlighting the importance of noticing and play. The book's purpose is to inspire readers to face temptation, use their imagination, and look up instead of down.

New research by RNIB has found that only 13% of visually impaired people surveyed feel their disability benefits actually cover the additional cost of their disability. This research comes at a time where the Personal Independent Payment is under review and so In Touch hears from the RNIB about their research and how they are contributing to this review.To celebrate National Poetry Day, In Touch has brought together two visually impaired poets to discuss the concept of 'non-visual noticing'. A term coined by one of our panel poets Claudine Toutoungi. It is the art of noticing the non-visual aspects of the world as a source of inspiration for poetry. The Blind Poet Dave Steele also joins the discussion and shares some of his work, which often has the theme sight loss and addresses how it can impact you and those around you.Presenter: Peter White Producer & Reporter: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Helen Surtees Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image, wearing a dark green jumper. Above Peter's head is the BBC logo (three individual white squares house each of the three letters). Bottom centre and overlaying the image are the words "In Touch"; and the Radio 4 logo (the word Radio in a bold white font, with the number 4 inside a white circle). The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to the right. Both are behind Peter, one of a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.

Sunday-night dread, chronic headaches, and sleeping too much or too little are signals that something is out of alignment.•     Drift hides in five areas: your physical and mental health, your relationships, your finances, your potential, and your purpose.•     Drift shows up most in type-A achievers, because we're not quitters. We muddle through until we slam into something.•     There are three patterns: complacency (not paying attention), avoidance (knowing and not dealing), and incremental drift (one-off moments that are actually a pattern).•     Nobody is truly stuck. Time keeps moving, and the drifting years don't come back.•     Organizations drift too.

Michael Lassman had millions of dollars, a successful Wall Street career, and by every outward measure had made it. Then alcoholism took nearly all of it away. In this deeply honest conversation, Michael walks Larry through his descent, his years long estrangement from his children, and the long road back through a twelve step program, faith, and eventually writing two books about what he learned along the way. What makes this conversation land so hard is how much Larry opens up in return. He shares a recent, still raw season of using alcohol to cope with his oldest son leaving home, and the moment his own ten year old son called it out. He also shares his mother's decades long struggle with alcoholism and the hard boundaries he has had to set to protect his own family. If you have ever used something, anything, to numb a feeling you did not want to sit with, this conversation offers real, hard won language for that struggle and a path through it.   Timeline Summary 1:01 Michael shares the statistic that started this conversation. Most people report their life feels meaningless 2:08 Michael's descent in 2011. From a successful Wall Street career to living in a cheap motel 3:12 Michael shares contemplating suicide during his lowest point 4:07 The night police broke down his motel door, believing he was dead 6:14 How Michael went from millions of dollars to near total loss over several years 7:10 The year his children refused to speak to him, and what led to that breaking point 11:40 The story of his son reaching out after a friend's father died unexpectedly 12:39 A full introduction to Michael. A four decade career, multiple businesses, and two books 17:03 Michael reflects on what he would say to the version of himself at his lowest point 22:53 Introducing the spiritual malady, and why addiction is ultimately a comfort problem 25:43 A client's story. Four years free from pornography addiction and now helping other men 26:51 Naming the common thread behind every vice. It is never really about the substance itself 29:04 Michael's story of nearly relapsing at a bus station six months after leaving treatment, and the three step formula that stopped him 32:35 Larry shares his own recent struggle using alcohol to cope with his son leaving home 37:44 Larry's decision to stop drinking for the rest of the year, and how it has felt so far 40:00 Referencing this as episode 1535, and Michael sharing what led him to write about allowing God to remove his character defects 41:31 Breaking down the resentment inventory process from the twelve steps 44:53 Understanding surrender as the paradox at the center of recovery 48:33 Michael's reconciliation with his ex-wife after she read his memoir in full 52:12 An update on Michael's now adult son and daughter, and the state of those relationships today 55:52 Larry shares his own mother's decades long struggle with alcoholism 56:59 The specific incident that led Larry to set a hard boundary with his mother 59:04 Larry reflects on forgiveness without full reconciliation 1:00:23 The danger of family members unintentionally enabling an addict, and the value of Al Anon 1:01:06 Michael's closing message on finding purpose at the intersection of your values, gifts, and hardest experiences 1:04:07 Where to find Michael and his books   Five Key Takeaways Addiction is rarely about the substance itself. It is almost always an attempt to escape discomfort, whether that discomfort is anxiety, sadness, resentment, or grief. A simple three step practice can interrupt a craving in the moment. Name the discomfort to God or a higher power, talk to someone about what you are actually feeling, and then look for someone else you can help. Surrender is not weakness. Trying to control or white knuckle your way through a painful season often makes the struggle worse, while genuinely letting go can be the thing that finally creates real change. Reconciliation and forgiveness are not the same thing. You can forgive someone fully while still choosing not to reconcile or reopen a relationship that is not safe for your family. Noticing a pattern early, even a small one, matters. A comment from a child or a spouse can be the signal that something you thought was harmless is actually a way of avoiding a feeling you have not dealt with yet.   Links and Resources Killing Mr. Hyde by Michael Lassman: https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Mr-Hyde-Michael-Lassman/dp/1942451024  Modern Man's Search for Meaning by Michael Lassman: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H1MJ22XN Michael Lassman: https://www.michael-lassman.com/ The Dad Edge Day at State Farm Stadium: https://thedadedge.com/nfl The Dad Edge Podcast: https://thedadedge.com/1535   Closing If any part of this conversation felt close to home, whether it is your own relationship with alcohol, a parent's addiction, or a season of using something to avoid a feeling you have not faced yet, please know you are not alone, and help is available.

Conference on Practice & Quality Improvement Closing Session - Wednesday, September 2, 2026This presentation reflects on the evolving purpose, responsibility, and resilience of family physicians in a rapidly changing health care environment. Drawing from three decades of leadership, teaching, and historical keynote addresses, the speaker invites attendees to reconsider how physicians grow professionally while remaining grounded in the relational and moral foundations of medicine. By contrasting the non-binary curiosity and joy of childhood development with the rigid, outcome-driven mindset common in adult professional life, the presentation reframes burnout as a loss of meaning rather than a lack of effort or reward.Through storytelling, reflection, and selected excerpts from past speeches, learners are encouraged to rediscover “unnoticed wisdom,” celebrate the concept of “enough,” and intentionally remove fear, frustration, anger, threat, and terror from their lives. The presentation affirms family medicine as a countercultural force—one grounded in presence, advocacy, ethical leadership, and service that cannot be replaced by technology or commoditized models of care. Ultimately, this talk serves as a call to action for physicians to remember why they entered medicine, honor the privilege of board certification, and press the call button when society asks for a doctor—leading with courage, humility, and compassion. Learning Objectives:Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Compare and contrast the differences between non-binary childhood developmental milestones and binary adult life hurdles.Better understand how not to fall out of love with the art and the science of medicine.Learn how to recognize and celebrate “enough.”Copyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2026Speaker Bio - Gary L.

If you have been feeling hopeless or down about your art career, you are not alone. This episode comes straight from the heart, and it is an invitation to rekindle even the tiniest spark of hope that incredible things are ahead, no matter where you are right now. As I reflect on 10 years of Create! Magazine and 10 years of working for myself, I keep coming back to basics. Expecting support before I know how it will arrive. Noticing the opportunities I do have, even when things are not perfect. And paying attention to the whole picture, because just like in nature, something is always growing even when other things look like they are dying. I share my own recent season of negativity, the moment a friend lovingly told me I give up too quickly, and the small, unglamorous example of a HYROX race that reminded me how cause and effect really works. When you show up, even imperfectly, even for 10 minutes, results follow. This one includes a little tough love. If you are ready to come out of a fearful cycle and start showing up for yourself again, I hope it helps. In this episode Why our brains have a negative bias, and how the news and art market reports feed it Delete, generalize, distort: why "no one is buying art" is never the whole truth The law of cause and effect and taking responsibility for your success What a HYROX race taught me about showing up when it is not your top priority The friend who told me to stop giving up so quickly What follow-through looks like in a real art practice: the sketchbook, the newsletter, the pitch, the reel How catastrophizing keeps you from ever giving your work a fair chance Why micro habits beat marathons Allowing opportunities to find you, even in a slower economy Stopping three feet from gold, and honoring the months left in 2026 Why art is abundance: wellness, connection, self-trust, and income Daisy Fancourt's research on art and health (check out her book, Art Cure, and her episode on the show) Emotional regulation as the foundation of any selling strategy An introduction to my new program, Art Is Abundance Join Art Is Abundance Art Is Abundance is my new six-week live program for visual artists who want more abundance in their lives, both financially and in confidence.

Noticing the debt trap? In Episode 213, Matt examines the Fed rate increase discussed in this episode, rising borrowing costs, and the squeeze on everyday life. From credit card debt to 50-year mortgages, he asks whether promises of affordability offer relief or keep people paying longer. Matt challenges the “strong economy” narrative and asks who benefits, arguing that political loyalty should never outweigh what people see in their own lives.

Arthritis and a degenerative disc forced real attention on certain specific moves that used to be done on autopilot.   Noticing tightness, range of motion, and day to day differences became a habit built out of necessity.   That habit started showing up in workouts that had nothing to do with the original limitation.   Most workouts get completed on autopilot, missing real time feedback the body is already providing.   Being forced to pay attention on a few moves can make someone more attentive across their entire training.

Welcome to The Awkward Bits, where every Thursday Vic flies solo, digging a little deeper into Monday's topic, picking apart the bits we didn't quite get to and exploring all the stuff that got left behind once the microphones were switched off. And Wow, what a week. Vic's been reading all your amazing responses to the new co host reveal and, boy oh boy, it seems there are a LOT of people not drinking this Friday. Well, at least two of you, (Hello Steve and Janet from Coventry) We'll take that as a win. Ha!And it turns out Am I drinking too much? is a question that hit a bit of a nerve. Probably because it's one so many of us have quietly typed into Google while drinking a glass of wine and hoping the internet would tell us, “Nah, you're fine, carry on.” So, this week, Vic looks at the more subtle red flags around drinking. Not the dramatic stuff we're taught to look out for, but the tiny behaviours that can tell you booze is taking up more space in your head than you realise. Stuff like being very aware of how full your glass is. Clocking how much wine is left in the bottle. Feeling slightly panicked when there doesn't seem to be enough booze at a party. Wondering when the next drink is coming. Noticing what everyone else is drinking and making sure there's enough booze in the house at all times!These strange preoccupations with alcohol that can quietly tick away in the background while, on the outside, everything looks hunky dory.Vic shares the awkward little signs she recognises from her own drinking and asks a much more useful question than, Am I bad enough to quit?How much space is alcohol taking up in my head?A short, honest Thursday episode for anyone questioning their drinking, even if everything looks absolutely fine on paper.Resources & Links

Chaque année, je lis avec le même plaisir le journal de vendanges d'Hervé Bizeul, le vigneron du Clos des fées, dans le Roussillon. Cette année, sa manière de regarder ses vignes m'a rendue plus attentive à ce qui m'entoure : quelques surprises m'attendaient.  This episode is entirely in French because it's designed for learners who want real spoken French, not textbook dialogues.  Level: B1–B2. The everyday narration stays accessible at B1, while specific vocabulary tied to the harvest and botany pushes toward B2 :  useful if you want vocabulary beyond the strictly conversational.

Most of us move through the world on autopilot — not because we are incapable of noticing, but because we have stopped choosing to. We walk past the bee covered in pollen, the walking stick on a wooden bench, the osprey motionless in a tree above the path we almost took in the other direction. We are present in body but absent in attention, and in that absence, we miss the evidence of God's glory that Psalm 19 declares the heavens themselves cannot stop proclaiming. Becoming a noticer is not a personality trait reserved for the naturally observant. It is a decision — a deliberate, intentional slowing down to see what has always been there, waiting to be seen. A bee on a flower. The intricate architecture of a dandelion seed head before it is blown apart. The line of sight of a hawk fixed on something in the creek below. These are not small things. They are windows into the character of a Creator who designed every detail with intention and care, and who placed us in the middle of His creation to experience it fully rather than sleepwalk through it. Noticing is gratitude in action. It is a form of worship that requires no special equipment — only the willingness to slow down, engage the senses, and look at the same old thing with new eyes. A life lived with that kind of attentiveness is a life drawn consistently and almost involuntarily closer to God, because every genuine encounter with His creation points back to Him. Today's Bible Verse "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."— Psalm 19:1, NIV Ponder Today The whole earth is full of God's glory — but we have to choose to notice it. Creation does not stop declaring His majesty when we are not paying attention. We simply miss what was always there, waiting for eyes that are willing to slow down and see. A life of noticing is a life of gratitude in action. Observing the world around us with intentionality and wonder is not a hobby for the naturally curious. It is a spiritual practice available to every believer who chooses to engage it. Autopilot is the enemy of abundance. Christ came to give life abundantly (John 10:10), and abundant life is lived in the present tense — participating, observing, engaging. Sleepwalking through creation is a kind of apathy that robs us of what God has placed before us. Noticing sharpens more than observation — it sharpens the soul. Every genuine encounter with the details of creation is an encounter with the Creator who designed those details. The more we notice, the closer we are drawn to Him. Look at the same old thing with new eyes. A dandelion puff ball, a patch of sunlight on the floor, birdsong on the way to the car — these are not interruptions to the important things. They are the important things, if we have eyes to see them. A Prayer for You Today God of Creation, we join with the chorus in heaven and cry, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory." We are grateful for Your majesty all around us. May we have eyes to see and ears to hear. Our hearts are full of awe. May we increasingly notice the gifts of creation around us as we traverse this life of abundance You have blessed us with. With grateful hearts we pray, Amen. Want More?

In this episode, we dive deep into what's really holding our neurodivergent kids back—not just "lack of motivation," but the executive function skills that are often overlooked. We'll talk about the difference between knowing how to do something and actually being able to start doing it. I promise you'll walk away with concrete, low-pressure strategies you can put to work right away (no endless note-taking needed—I've got free resources for you in the show notes!). If you're ready to trade frustration for practical help and show your child that you're truly on their team, this episode is a must-listen.   Key Takeaways Shrink the First Step: Break tasks into micro-steps so "do your math" becomes "bring your math book to the table." One clear action at a time paves the way. Externalize & Visualize: Move instructions out of your child's head and onto paper, whiteboards, or sticky notes. Visible steps help kids stay on track. Start Together, Fade Out: Sit down and launch new or daunting assignments side-by-side. With support, independence will naturally follow. Curiosity Over Compliance: Ask what's getting between your child and the starting line, rather than just pushing them to "try harder." Problem-solve together. Celebrate the Start: Praise effort spent just getting going, not just finishing. Noticing the courage to begin boosts confidence for next time.

In this episode of the Twiniversity Podcast, Nat talks with Amanda – mom of fraternal twin boys who are now grown men, one of whom is autistic – about what twin parenting looks like from the far side of it. Amanda found out at 23, in college and on birth control, that the two heartbeats on the ultrasound meant twins, and she raised them with almost no internet, no twin-mom circle, and no mother of her own to call.She and Nat go straight at the things twin parents rarely say out loud: the colicky 3 a.m. thought that she could not do this, the fear of being judged in the Target parking lot, and the one decision she would make differently if she could go back.What is left after 24 years is not a system or a hack – it is patience, presence, and the kind of consistency that still has her son heading to bed at 9:00 on New Year's Eve.

In this episode of Reimagine Childhood from the Early Childhood Christian Network, host Monica Healer talks with grandmother Kate Mobell, whose grandson Shepherd was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy just before kindergarten, and Dr. Diana Castro, a board-certified neurologist and neuromuscular physician. They explain why early educators' daily observations can help families pursue quicker evaluations and referrals, especially when concerns have been minimized. Dr. Castro outlines common early signs of Duchenne—delayed walking, speech delays, fatigue at recess, frequent falls, difficulty with stairs or jumping, toe walking, enlarged calves, and Gower's sign—and notes possible cognitive and learning impacts. The conversation also covers why early intervention matters, how treatments like gene therapy aim to increase dystrophin, and how teachers can document specific behaviors, encourage OT/PT or specialist evaluation, plan for safety needs, and compassionately support families and classmates through education and community resources like CureDuchenne.   00:00 Welcome and Purpose 02:34 Shepherd Diagnosis Story 08:17 Signs Teachers Can Spot 18:47 Learning Library Promo 19:50 Treatments and Gene Therapy 22:42 Access to Gene Therapy 25:05 Schools as Early Advocates 28:01 Supporting Families at School 35:13 Teacher Action Steps and Wrap Up Download milestone lists by age from birth to age 5 HERE!

This one was from Aug. 31st.Soon we will all be tortured, starved, and shut out of life for the crime of Noticing. You shouldn't be surprised that an Evil force operating the American territory has been actively poisoning and misguiding us for over a century. We have been treated with hostility, as their prisoners, and as property instead of as people. The corporate cult of perversion, pharmakeia, and Inversion is upgrading the prison, and tightening the security so we can barely breathe. The extermination phase of their operation is underway.

Yes, you check all the numbers: bank accounts, credit cards, the market, but are you actually financially self‑aware? In today's episode, “Pay Attention, Because Seeing Is Not the Same Thing as Actually Noticing,” Jacquette breaks down why understanding the behavior behind the numbers is essential to any strategy. She shares three practices that help minimize financial blind spots and their impact. Blind spots will never completely go away, but with strong rituals, better questions, and the ability to spot patterns, you can intentionally create the shifts your finances need.Want More?

What if your brain is already working hard to prove you right? In this episode, Heather explores how confirmation bias, attention, and identity influence the way photographers see their businesses. If you keep telling yourself there aren't enough clients, people won't pay, or you're bad at marketing, your brain becomes remarkably good at finding evidence to support those beliefs. Heather explains how to interrupt that cycle, choose more useful thoughts, and intentionally train your brain to notice opportunities, solutions, and possibilities you may have been overlooking. Key Takeaways: Your brain looks for evidence that supports what you already believe. Your beliefs influence what you notice, how you interpret experiences, and what opportunities you recognize. "I don't know how to get clients" is not a permanent fact. It may simply mean you don't currently know how to get your next client. One experience doesn't prove a universal truth. A ghosted inquiry or a price objection doesn't mean nobody wants your work. Your brain can build either a positive or negative case. The thoughts you repeatedly practice become the evidence your brain searches for. Identity changes behavior. When you see yourself as someone who can figure things out, your actions begin to reflect that belief. "I'm an athlete" becomes a useful identity. Heather shares how this thought changed the choices she naturally made around movement, food, and health. You don't need to lie to yourself. Choose thoughts that are believable and useful, such as "There are people who would love what I offer." Marketing opportunities may already be around you. When you believe opportunities exist, you become more likely to notice people, conversations, and connections that could lead somewhere. Don't use mindset work against yourself. Noticing an unhelpful thought isn't another reason to criticize yourself. It's simply information. Ask: "What am I training my brain to prove?" This question can help you recognize the story you're building and consciously choose a different one. What if your brain has been proving your limiting beliefs right this entire time? What if the clients, opportunities, and possibilities aren't missing—you've simply stopped noticing them? The story you repeat becomes the evidence you see, the actions you take, and the results you create. Press play and discover what you're training your brain to prove—and how to start building a completely different case.

In Episode 271: The Outcomes Formula, I introduce a new coaching framework that represents a shift in the way I help missionaries and clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and actions. If you've listened to earlier episodes where I taught The Model, don't worry—I'm not throwing it out. Instead, I've simplified and refined the process into something I believe is more compassionate, more flexible, and easier to apply in everyday life. My hope is that this new approach helps you spend less time judging yourself and more time understanding what's really happening in your mind. Throughout this episode, I walk through each step of what I call The Outcomes Formula: Observation, Assessment, Feeling, Action, and Outcome. We explore how your brain naturally takes in information, assigns meaning to it, creates emotions, fuels your actions, and ultimately produces the outcomes you experience. Rather than focusing on whether your observations are perfectly factual, I explain why it's often more helpful to become curious about the meaning your brain is assigning to those experiences and how that meaning shapes the rest of the formula. If you've ever wondered why you keep getting stuck in the same emotional patterns, why anxiety or discouragement seem to repeat themselves, or how to interrupt those cycles with greater compassion and awareness, I hope Episode 271: The Outcomes Formula gives you a practical tool you can return to again and again. My hope is that this framework helps you better understand yourself, strengthen your emotional resilience, and recognize that lasting change begins with becoming aware of the stories your brain is telling you—not by trying to become someone different. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

 If the following blurb from this week’s podcast doesn’t hook you, the fact that Betsy closes with an easy exercise that could help you make the change you have been waiting for will. Here it is…’You don’t have to have it all sorted out before you’re allowed to claim it as yours. You can be in the middle of the mess and still build something with an intention and a purpose. You already know what your habit list is, so say it out loud.’ See?? Take a listen and enjoy. Transcript:  Welcome to The Art of Living Big, where we explore how to live intentionally and with more joy. I’m Betsy Pake, your host, master, coach, and creator of the Navigate Method. Here to help you listen in to your true desires, elevate your standards, and live life to the fullest. Now, let’s go live big. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show today. All right, so, so today’s episode is, is sort of, I don’t know, specific, I’m gonna say. Aren’t all the episodes specific? But I got a message on Instagram, and, you know, sometimes I’ll get messages, and they are like other messages that I’ve gotten. So it’s easy to do, like, a podcast episode on them because it’s a really common question or a common thing people are going through, or it’s something that I know from my own life, right? And so when I got this question, though, I was like, “Oh, that’s actually a really good question, and I don’t know if anybody’s actually asked me that before.” And so what it was, it, it wasn’t like a coaching question. It was more like a logistics question. So what she wanted to know was she wanted to know how I did it. So she said, “It seems like you’ve rebuilt your life, and it seems really happy. But it also seems like you’ve rebuilt your whole life. How did you know what to build?” I was like, I mean, I didn’t even know what to say, ’cause how do you answer that? How do you… H- how did you know what to build? So, I kept thinking about it, and I thought, you know what? That likely deserves its own episode because the, the honest answer is that I, I did not know. Like, there was no plan. I think sometimes people look at my life now, and they assume that there was some kind of blueprint, and there was not. But there was about a year of me getting it wrong, I say wrong with air quotes, in a bunch of different directions, and so that’s what today is. So today I wanna name you a couple things. Three things I picked, even though I could come up with, like, 15 things, but three things seems like a good amount for a podcast. I wanna give you three things that I wish somebody had said to me at the very beginning of all that, because I think they would have saved me a little bit of time. And honestly, this is the work that I do, right? I went through something, and I wanna save everybody a bit of time by explaining it. And so, you know, I think that when we make a decision, I remember when I made my decision to leave my husband, I gotta tell you, e- every day over the past couple weeks, I’ve been like, “I’m so glad I did that. I’m so glad I did that.” But I think when we get to that place where we make that decision, at least for me it was not this. Like, I don’t even care what happens. I mean, of course I cared, but I don’t even care. It’s just not this. I was fully, fully 100% on board with just living my own life as a single woman, like, happily forever, and that is great for me. You know, will I be single forever? I, I don’t know, but I… That’s the way I wanted to build my life, right? So it wasn’t like, “I’m gonna leave this big hole here for somebody to fill. I’m gonna do everything but this thing and hope somebody else h-” Like, uh-uh. Like, I was gonna f- build my life. I was gonna make my health the way I wanted. I was gonna make my financial life the way I wanted. I was gonna make my home the way I wanted. I was gonna make my friendships the way I wanted. I was gonna make my activities the way I wanted. Like, I was gonna build my life for me. And so here’s the thing If you are sitting somewhere in your house or in your car, I know you’re in your car. You’re sitting in your car in the driveway, but a lot of you do a lot of thinking in your car, and you may have had this feeling that the life that you’re living was designed by somebody that was a, a younger version of you, somebody that you don’t totally recognize anymore. And maybe it’s not a bad life, you know? That sometimes is the part that can get really confusing, because it might not be that anything is, like, wildly on fire. It’s just that when you look around and you look at your calendar and you look at your house and you look at your weekend plans and your friendships, you can trace every single piece of it back to a decision that you made a long time ago for reasons that were probably good reasons, probably good reasons at the time. But now you’re standing in the middle of this, like, midlife, which I kinda hate when we’re, like, midlife. Ugh, like it’s this big thing, but it is. It is. So now you’re standing here, and in the middle of all of this saying, “Would I choose this again?” Right? Would I choose this again? And I know some of you are listening to this from inside a marriage where you have not decided anything, and you are not sure if you want to. You know, redesigning your life is not the same thing as leaving your life. Those are two really different projects, and I don’t think we have to get them all tangled up together. Some of the biggest redesigns that I have ever had in my own life and that I’ve watched other people have happened inside marriages, inside relationships, even inside marriages where people stayed. You know, the- the woman that- that changed everything about how she was living, and she did it without moving out of her house, is a possible, is, it, that is a real thing. So take these three things and put them, like, wherever they fit in your life because I’m not pointing you in any specific direction. Stay, leave, maybe you’re single, like, all the things. Okay. That is my disclaimer ’cause I never tell you what to do. Okay. All right. So the first thing that everybody tells you when your life comes apart or when you decide to take it apart, you know, on purpose, is to get clear on what you want. I had this conversation with somebody the other day, like, being really clear and having a clear vision. You know? Making the list. Do the vision boarding thing. Like, what do you want your life to actually look like? And I sat down with a blank page and that question, and I could not answer it, and I don’t mean, like, I struggled with it, and I don’t mean, like, I wrote a couple things and they weren’t quite right. I mean nothing. Nothing came I just sat there, and there was no big idea, no big yearning or pulling. I just remember thinking, “Ugh.” Like, I just… I’m, I’m getting out of something I knew was a no. No. Hell no. I knew that, but I didn’t know what was next, and I remember thinking, “Oh, is this a problem? Like, is this the problem?” Because I had been answering that question on behalf of other people for so long that I did not have my own answer anymore, and every time I tried to write something down, I could hear how it would sound to somebody else. I could hear my ex, I could hear my family, I could hear the version of me that was supposed to be handling all these things. And so the list that came out started sounding like a woman being really reasonable. It did not come out sounding like me. And, you know, I think a lot of you have had this exact experience, where you thought, “I don’t know what I want, , and, and I can’t get to the core of it, and that must mean something’s wrong. Must mean something’s wrong with me.” You know, like, you’re the woman who can’t figure out what she wants, but that is not it. I don’t think that’s it. If you have spent any amount of time, you know, 20 years, whatever, being the person who gets to make sure that everybody else is okay, of course you cannot produce your want list on demand. Like, that is a skill, to be able to imagine something different. I mean, imagine something different. Like, it’s not just imagining something you’ve seen other people do, okay? So hang with me. You can imagine things that you’ve seen other people do, and you could be like, “Sure, I could see that as being a thing.” But what about imagining something different? Something you’ve never seen anybody do, in the way that you wanna do it. And that skill is a skill, and it’s probably got really quiet ’cause you stopped using it. And so here’s what actually worked, and it, it was the opposite of, like, direction. I stopped asking myself, “What do I want?” And I started asking, “What am I saying yes to out of habit?” Because that was a question that I could answer. I could answer that one immediately. I knew, like, immediately. I was like, “Oh, well that’s a habit. This is a habit. That’s a habit.” And I had a whole list of habits in, like, just a couple minutes. ‘Cause you always know. You know, you know that one. You know the thing on your calendar that you dread, but it’s always there. You know the friendship that you have that you keep just out of loyalty or ’cause you’ve had them for so long, even though you feel like the version of the friendship that actually felt good was gone a long time ago. You notice the way you spend your Sunday afternoons, the things you wanna participate in, the way you keep your house, right? Nobody asked you to keep your kitchen or your bathroom or any of those things the way that they are. So you know exactly what those things are. And I think this is why this works a little bit better, is because you can’t design a new life while the old one is fully running. You know, I, I, I wanna… I don’t wanna get too far down a rabbit hole of how our brains work. If you’ve been listening here for a while, you’ve heard me talk about this, but, but you can’t fit anything else in when the old program is, like, fully installed. There’s no room. So the wanting shows up in the space, but if there’s no space, there’s nothing to want with. I hope that makes sense. You gotta have space. So the first thing, I don’t think is the vision. The first thing is noticing. Noticing what are you still doing, only because you’ve always done it. And so don’t do anything about any of that yet. Don’t quit anything, don’t cancel anything, don’t have some big conversation with anybody. Just write down what’s on that list, and then notice it, ’cause that list is actually the starting point. It would be great if we could have some big delulu vision. I know we talk about that all the time, but I think the starting point is actually noticing where you are and everything about what leads into that Okay, so the second thing, the second thing that I did to redesign my life, and this is one that, I don’t know, I think this is probably the most useful thing that I’m gonna share if I had to look at the list. But you can want something. Like, you can want something, you can choose it, you can be totally right about it, and you can be absolutely flattened with sadness about what it costs you. Now, when I left my marriage, I was not sad about the marriage ending. I was thrilled. I, I n- I don’t… I honest to God, by the time I’d made that decision, I did not shed a tear, like not once. And I don’t say that… Uh, uh, that’s sad to me, like that’s sad to me, but I was so absolutely done, and the fact that I stayed so long was the sadness that I had to deal with You know, uh, uh, when I started noticing that, like, my first thought every single time was like, “Oh, my God, w- why did I wait so long? I made such a mistake in delaying. I wasted years.” And I could be having a completely good day, like a good day, and then I would be somewhere and I would think, “Why the heck didn’t I leave a long time ago?” Now I’m 52, 53 years old and doing this, starting over. Like, I gave up so much to get out, and I walked away from so much to choose myself, and that’s what I chose. I chose myself. And so I had to go to the place where I was sad that I didn’t do it with hindsight. Like, we get to the place where we have hindsight. W- what do they say? Hindsight’s 20/20, right? And then you look back and you’re like, “Oh, my God, I coulda done it here, I coulda done it here. When I left the first time, why didn’t I stay go- gone?” I knew. Like, I knew. When I came back, I knew. I, I, I just came back ’cause I was tired. It was easier. And so, you know, I, when I would feel that, like, sadness, I would just be like, “This is just a, a grief that I have to deal with.” It’s not a review of my decision. I didn’t leave when I didn’t leave because I couldn’t leave. I left when I could. I wasn’t ready. And I think some of you might need to hear that. Like, it’s not because I didn’t want to, it’s because I wasn’t ready, and we can’t do things until we’re ready, and that’s okay. And grief just means you recognize what that cost you. That’s all it means. I was sad because something real I felt was taken from me, time, and that means that I think my life is important, and that means that I am so happy I chose when I did and I didn’t take any more time That’s the grief. That’s what I had to come to grips with. But I think we have this thing where we feel like there’s this, like, pros and cons list. Like, we think if we can just get our feelings to settle down, right? We’ll know we did the right thing. You know, we’ll know this was the choice. Uh, like, it’s never gonna be right, wh- whatever right is in our minds. Like, it’s never, you’re never gonna score a perfect 10 on the exiting at the exact moment you were supposed to. If I had left five years before when I had left the first time, I probably would have thought I should have left five years before that. I knew right away that something was wrong. So my grief, my, my feelings, my mood, if you will, was telling me that it mattered It wasn’t telling me anything else. And I think once I understood that things can matter, and I can still move forward, and I’m learning about myself, and that the timing was when I could, then I think that grief started to integrate and lessen, and instead I started to become appreciative of where I was and who I was. You guys might remember in a earlier episode, and I won’t tell the whole story, but I got up on New Year’s Day and I was mad at my ex, and I had to sit with that and recognize I wasn’t really mad at him. Why would I even be thinking about him still? Like, I was mad at me, and I had to reckon with that. I had to reckon with those earlier versions of me who were l- God, she was hanging on by her toenails, doing the best she could. And I think honoring her and, everything she went through was to release her from some expectation that this version of me has, ’cause this version of me w- would not tolerate it. Do you know what I mean? But I wasn’t this version. But I had to be that version to get to here. Okay, so my next one, the third one. Okay, so let’s say you le- you cleared some space, you stopped treating your feelings like they’re wrong, and now you actually get to the place where you’re like, “I get to build something.” And here’s what I think made me, I don’t know, I, I wanna say, like, lost the most time. But for about a year, I think every decision that I made, I was really only asking one question: is this safe? Like, that’s it. That was the filter. Is this safe? Can I afford it? What happens if it goes wrong? What’s the smallest version of this I could do? Maybe not quite. We could try that. I don’t know. And I’m an entrepreneur, and I’m, not risk-averse. I’m not. But I noticed I was leaning into safety. I needed to feel a certain level of safety. And I, I, I think that can be a valid question, but I also think if it’s your only question, then you start to build a very small life. And then you will sit inside it a year later going, “Why does this not feel big enough?” Right? I did the hard thing. I got out, I rebuilt. Why does this feel like nothing? And I think- That, you know, when I look back, I, I left, well, I left in August. It took forever to sell my house. Moved into my apartment at the end of December, I think, and then it was probably the summer before I was like, “Oh, I’m doing this safety thing.” And it made a lot of sense ’cause a survivor builds a shelter. She doesn’t build a life. Those are two different projects. And I don’t wanna say go be reckless. I’m not saying, like, spend money that you don’t have, or blow up your life, or take a leap. Like, that’s not what I’m saying. The point is that the question I was using was too small, and maybe it’s the question I had to have for several months just until I could feel that stability for myself. I remember being so anxious all the time. I was anxious I would see him, like, walking the dog. He doesn’t live terribly far from me, I think maybe a mile or two. I was afraid I would run into him on the street. , I was afraid, and I noticed, like, I was trying to build a whole bunch of safety mechanisms around me in order to avoid that fear so that when I came back home I knew that it was safe. Now, I wanna be clear. He wasn’t beating me or anything like that, , but it was not emotionally safe place to be. So What changed for me was switching to a different question, and this is one that I still use and I still like it for big things and small things. Here’s the question, and I’ve talked about this in another episode in another way, , when I went to Vermont, that episode. But it’s who is the kind of person that I want to be? Not what do I want, ’cause we’ve already established that I couldn’t answer that one for a little while. It’s not what’s the safest, because I had been living inside that one. But who is the kind of person I wanna be? And then, would she do this? Because there is a version of you that chooses much differently. She just does. You know, ask a scared woman whether to take the trip, and she’ll turn into the calculator in her phone and run the numbers and figure it all out and see if it makes sense and Google and ask ChatGPT, but ask the woman that you want to be whether to take the trip, and you’ll get an answer just like that. And it’s not that she’s reckless, by the way. That’s not it, and that’s not what surprised me. The woman that I want to be says no to a lot of things. She says no faster than the scared version does, because the scared version negotiates things and explains and tries to weigh options and tries to be nice about it. The woman that I want to be just doesn’t have that much interest. So you have to notice which version of you you’re living inside, because if, if it’s the one who just came through something hard, she’s going to design for protection. I think that’s normal. And protection is not the same. It’s not the same as a life. It’s the first thing you need, but it’s also a terrible thing to organize the rest of your life around. Okay So if you wanna have actually something to do this week, here’s what I would do, and I’ve made it really small on purpose. I want you to write down three things that you are doing purely out of habit. Not big stuff, just regular stuff, just ordinary stuff. And then look at each one and ask, “Who is the kind of person I want to be, and does she keep doing this thing?” You don’t have to change any of those things. This isn’t, like, a homework assignment where you have to have a life overhaul this week. I just want you to find out how much of your week belongs to a woman who made decisions about things, like, a long time ago for reasons that might not even be true anymore. And I’ll tell you what usually happens when people do this, ’cause I’ve watched women do this, is that one of them is gonna seem really like, oh, my God. T- there’s always one where you go, “Oh, I already knew about that one.” That’s your first one to just really pay attention to, . So all right, one more thing that I wanna say before I go. People assume that the story of the last few years of my life is a story that you can see online. It’s a story of me sharing nights out with my friends. It’s a story of me going on trips. It’s a story of me really discovering, like, what I like to wear and how I like to show up as myself. It’s a story of me helping women and building my business. It’s, like, a beautiful story, but it’s not a story about how life got easier. My life is not easy. I’m renting. I got a cat that won’t shut up. I have a business and a whole lot of ordinary days, and there is a lot of things that I am still figuring out. It’s not that things got easy. It’s that I stopped needing it to be easy before I made it mine, and that’s the thing that’s available to you way, way, way earlier than you think it is. You don’t have to have it all sorted out before you’re allowed to claim it as yours. You can be in the middle of the mess and still build something with an intention and a purpose. You already know what your habit list is, so say it out loud. Figure out your one thing. And I think when you can do that, I think that is how you live a big life. All right, everyone, I love you guys so much. I will see you guys next week. Thanks for joining me on The Art of Living Big.

Real results changed the questions people asked, shifting from what is your plan to what is your secret.   Those two questions carry very different assumptions, one ongoing and one already finished.   Hearing the finished version repeated often enough made it easier to start believing the work was actually done.   Language from other people can shape self belief more than most people realize.   Noticing that shift, instead of absorbing it, keeps a plan from being declared finished by mistake.

#204 - Sometimes the smallest moments reveal things we might otherwise miss. A simple walk in the garden with the twins became an unexpected opportunity to notice their growing independence, their very different personalities, and the quiet ways young children experience the world around them.What might we discover about our children — and ourselves — when we stop trying to fill every moment and simply observe?Check out the show notes at https://www.mybabymassage.net/podcast/204.

I'm Trying So Hard Not to Pass This On“What if my child ends up struggling because of me?”If you've ever asked yourself that question, you're not alone.For many mothers navigating eating disorder recovery, one of the deepest fears isn't only their own healing—it's the possibility that the food fears, body shame, or wounds they've worked so hard to untangle might somehow become part of their child's story.And sometimes that fear can make motherhood feel like constant surveillance.Watching what you say.Watching what they eat.Watching how they talk about their body.Replaying the comment you wish you hadn't made.Wondering whether one imperfect moment means you've already done damage.In this episode of Lift the Shame, we're staying with that fear—and gently questioning the enormous responsibility mothers can place on themselves when “I want things to be different for my child” quietly becomes “Then I can never get this wrong.”Because eating disorders are complex. You have influence, but you do not have total control. And breaking a generational cycle doesn't require you to become a perfectly healed mother.Sometimes it looks much more ordinary than that.Noticing.Getting curious.Seeking support.Taking responsibility.Coming back.Repairing when something needs repair.And allowing the relationship to be bigger than one hard moment.In this episode, we'll explore how the desire to protect our children can turn into hypervigilance, why influence and control are not the same thing, how to think about repair without turning it into another standard to perform perfectly, and what it might really mean to change what gets passed down.Because your children aren't only witnessing your wounds.They're also witnessing what you do with them.

The longer you run your business, the easier it is to get used to how things work. A process that was supposed to be temporary becomes the way you've done things for three years. Customers keep asking the same question, but the answer feels obvious to you. Something you do really well barely stands out anymore because you've done it so many times. Eventually, certain parts of the business can become so familiar that you stop noticing them. This episode of the Black to Business podcast is about taking a fresh look at what has become normal inside your business. Monique breaks down how familiarity can keep you from questioning things that may no longer make sense, recognizing what other people find confusing, and even seeing some of the things your business does exceptionally well. You'll also learn how customers, new team members, contractors, and other people with a fresh perspective can help you notice what you may be too close to see yourself. DURING THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: Why "that's just how we do it" may be worth questioning How your own knowledge can cause you to fill in information your customers don't have Why something can feel easy simply because you've gotten really good at doing it How you may be overlooking some of the most valuable parts of your business What repeated questions, compliments, and feedback can reveal about what you've stopped noticing How to use a fresh perspective to see your business more clearly   Thank you so much for listening!

Supporting Others Without Losing Yourself — Part 1 Why is everyone getting on your nerves lately—even the people you love? If you've found yourself unusually irritated, resentful, exhausted, or quietly thinking, "Please, nobody ask me for one more thing," it doesn't automatically mean you've become angry, selfish, ungrateful, or impossible to please. But, something important could be trying to get your attention. In this first episode of Supporting Others Without Losing Yourself, I'm exploring what happens when caring for the people, work, and responsibilities that matter to us quietly becomes carrying too much of them. And we're not starting with boundaries. We're not fixing anything yet. We're starting with something that can be deceptively simple, but it the most important place to start: Noticing. Because the irritation, angry tears, exhaustion, resentment, or desire to run away from everyone for five uninterrupted minutes may not be the actual problem. They may be the way the problem is finally making itself visible. In this episode I share a deeply personal story from the early postpartum years of my marriage. Neither one of us was the villain. We were two exhausted people trying to run an old operating system inside a completely new life—and naming what was happening helped us finally see the problem together. Because sometimes something needs your attention without needing to be anyone's fault. In This Episode, We Explore Why irritability and resentment can be information rather than character flaws What can happen when caring quietly becomes carrying Why we often focus on changing everyone around us before asking what's happening inside us The difference between having a big feeling and needing to make a big decision Why recognition—not fixing—is the first step toward meaningful change Three Things to Carry With You 1. Your Feelings Aren't a Verdict. They're Information. Feeling resentful doesn't automatically mean there's something wrong with your relationship. Feeling exhausted by people you love doesn't mean you don't love them. Feeling irritated with your children doesn't make you a terrible parent. Your feelings may be telling you that something needs attention—but they don't automatically tell you what the solution needs to be. 2. It Doesn't Have to Be Anyone's Fault We can become so focused on figuring out who is responsible that we miss the more useful question: What is happening here? Sometimes nobody needs to become the villain before something is allowed to change. Your experience can simply be true. And that truth can be enough to start a conversation. 3. Your Experience Doesn't Have to Become an Emergency Before It Deserves Attention You don't have to wait until you're completely depleted. Until the relationship is falling apart. Until you hate your job. Until you're crying in the car. Until the metaphorical house is on fire. You're allowed to notice the smoke. The Heart of This Conversation Your experience doesn't have to become an emergency before it deserves your attention. Sometimes the irritation is the signal. The resentment is the signal. The exhaustion is the signal. The "I swear if one more person asks me for something…" is the signal. You don't have to judge it. And you don't have to immediately act on it. You can get curious about it.   Your feelings aren't a verdict. They're information.   A Gentle Practice This week, when you notice yourself feeling irritated, resentful, exhausted, or just plain done, resist the urge to immediately solve it. Instead, ask yourself two questions: What am I feeling? What might I need? Then see what happens if you listen without immediately talking yourself out of the answer. If This Episode Resonates Share it with the person who loves their people deeply—and is also quietly tired of everybody needing something from them. This is Part One of Supporting Others Without Losing Yourself. We're starting with recognition because we can't meaningfully change something we haven't learned how to see yet. My hope is that every conversation leaves you feeling a little more understood, a little less alone, and a little more curious about yourself. Come when you're ready. Stay as long as you need. Take what serves you. Leave the rest.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning we have a double-feature with Richard Hanania and Steve Sailer. Hanania holds a law degree from the University of Chicago and a PhD in political science from UCLA, and was previously a research fellow at Columbia University's Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies. He founded the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI) and writes the popular Substack newsletter Richard Hanania's Newsletter, where he covers politics, foreign policy, and social science from a heterodox, broadly libertarian-leaning perspective; his book The Origins of Woke argued that civil rights law, rather than culture alone, drives modern identity politics. His latest book is Kakistocracy: Why Populism Ends in Disaster. Steve Sailer is an American journalist and blogger, born in 1958 in Los Angeles, who worked in market research before turning to full-time writing in the 1990s, contributing to National Review, The American Conservative, Taki's Magazine, and the webzine VDARE, as well as his long-running personal blog. He is best known for coining the term "human biodiversity" (HBD) and for pioneering a data-heavy style of commentary on race, immigration, IQ, crime, and demographics. This approach made him persona non grata in mainstream outlets. Long relegated to the fringes and often labeled a race-science promoter by critics, he published an anthology, Noticing, in 2024. In the first hour, Razib and Hanania discuss his career, his use of social media, and his new book. They delve into the rise of populism, defining it as a movement that divides society into righteous masses and corrupt elites. Hanania argues that populism often leads to poor economic performance and authoritarianism. They also touch on the impact of AI on the legal profession, the role of social media in amplifying fringe views, and the challenges of immigration and institutional trust. Hanania expresses a preference for a merit-based immigration system and criticizes the identitarian deference on both the left and right. In the second hour, Razib and Sailer discuss the demographic and economic changes in Southern California, highlighting the impact of Latino immigration and the rise of new immigrant groups from the former Soviet Union. They recount the environmental movement's role in halting development in Beverly Hills and the potential of robot taxis to transform urban commuting. Sailer reflects on the decline of Chicago's Fortune 500 companies and the challenges faced by cities built on water transport. They also discuss the evolution of race and IQ debates and the importance of affirmative action in diverse fields. Likely to the surprise of many Sailer defends affirmative action for black Americans. He also expresses optimism for the future, despite the current political climate.  

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start with this training: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____About one in nine adults is on a GLP-1 right now. And women with ADHD kept telling me the exact same thing after starting GLP-1 medications: they expected to lose weight, but they did not expect their brains to feel different.The brain fog lifted. The food noise got quieter. Energy felt steadier. Emotional reactions became easier to interrupt. For some, inflammation, pain, bloating, cravings, and compulsive behaviors changed too.So I brought back Dr. Kalin Johnson to tell us whether there is real science behind that or whether we are getting ahead of the evidence. Kalin is a licensed clinical pharmacist, functional medicine wellness coach, and patient advocate who runs a concierge whole-person care practice for high-achieving, high-masking neurodivergent adults. She is also queer, ADHD, autistic, and living with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and this is her fourth time on the show.In this episode, Kalin and I get into how GLP-1 receptors communicate across the gut, brain, pancreas, immune system, and vagus nerve, and why that matters for ADHD women. They also talk about food noise, brain fog, inflammation, metabolic health, emotional regulation, microdosing, side effects, muscle loss, access, and what the research still cannot tell us.ResourcesWebsite: https://www.kalinjohnson.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kalinpharmdLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kalin-johnsonpharmdAnia Jastreboff, MD - Director of the Yale Obesity Research Center, principal investigator on many of the landmark trials for tirzepatide and retatrutide.

Our alphabet is history's junk drawer. Why Q Needs U author Danny Bate traces letters back through 4,000 years of pictures, invasions, and happy accidents.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1362What We Discuss with Danny Bate:How the alphabet became civilization's 4,000-year-old junk drawer of borrowed symbols, stitched together from Egyptian pictures, Greek tweaks, and Roman branding: not a language at all, but a wildly successful technology shared across English, Spanish, and dozens of unrelated tongues.Why a capital A is secretly an upside-down ox, and Q is a monkey that kept its tail to this day, O began as a lashed human eye, and R traces back to an ancient word for "head" that still lives inside the Hebrew rosh.How dropping the vowels turned writing into an MP3 file. Semitic workers in Egypt around 1900 BC repurposed hieroglyphs into one symbol per consonant, trading the beauty of pictograms for something fast, portable, and simple enough to spread across the ancient world.Why English spelling looks broken at first glance. Letters sit frozen while sounds quietly drift, so Caxton's 15th-century printing press locked in words whose silent K's and GH's were once fully pronounced, leaving competing rules that only look like anarchy.What a gloriously messy alphabet can teach us about each other. Because our spelling fits no single accent perfectly, it clunkily serves everyone at once.
