Podcasts about obsessing

In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric dive into a lively conversation about wealth-building, spending habits, investing, and the often-heated debate around personal finance advice. Using examples ranging from Kevin O'Leary's comments on expensive lunches to the power of compound interest, they explore how small financial decisions add up over time. Along the way, they discuss the realities of modern costs of living, the importance of increasing income, and why personal finance advice isn't always one-size-fits-all. On this episode we talk about: How net worth compares across age groups and what it means to be "above average" Why starting to invest young creates an enormous long-term advantage The debate around spending $28 on lunch versus investing that money How everyday spending habits impact long-term wealth accumulation Balancing frugality with increasing your earning power Top 3 Takeaways Time is your greatest investing advantage. Small amounts invested consistently in your 20s and 30s can compound into significant wealth over the course of your lifetime. Financial habits matter more than individual purchases. One expensive lunch won't make or break your finances, but repeated spending patterns can dramatically affect your long-term results. Focus on both saving and earning. Cutting unnecessary expenses helps, but increasing your income creates the flexibility to enjoy life while still building wealth. Notable Quotes "The gap that you can make in your 20s and 30s is going to be the one that actually compounds for the rest of your life." "Two things can be true. You can recognize the pricing is insane while also choosing to eat at home." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems when you have money in the bank."

In this inspiring episode, Leslie welcomes Nicole Cramer, a former high school math teacher who transformed her life by stepping outside her comfort zone and following unexpected opportunities. Nicole shares how feeling stuck, unhappy, and disconnected from her purpose led her to question the path she was on and open herself to new possibilities. Nicole recounts her remarkable journey from teaching math for 15 years to becoming the #1 nationally ranked salesperson in the country twice. Through a series of seemingly coincidental events, intuitive "breadcrumbs," and bold decisions, she discovered the power of changing the stories we tell ourselves. She explains how alignment, intention, and human connection played a far greater role in her success than experience or credentials. The conversation explores manifestation, personal growth, overcoming fear, and embracing life's challenges as opportunities for transformation. Nicole and Leslie discuss how discomfort often serves as a signal for change, why sharing our stories can inspire others, and how shifting our mindset can unlock possibilities we never thought were available to us. "You either have the life you want, or you have the list of reasons why not."

Hello my friends, my fellow overthinkers, coming up in this episode we will talk aboutOf course have a chit chat about how overthinking stands in the way of your dreams, the life you desire and deserveHow overthinking disconnects us from the present moment and the life happening around usShare some every day examples of what it looks like to be more in your headShare some key messages and psychoeducation that often support people to get out of their heads and back into life & what's important to youIf your overthinking is getting in the way or slowing down your ability to enjoy your life, than this is for you.Overthinking gets in the way of your potential and this conversation is all about giving you the boost, inspiration, and key principles to help you get out of your head and into the moment

Rachael Schwartz coaches women through fat loss without making any of them track calories.None of them.Not her 1:1 clients.Not her group coaching (which sometimes runs 300 people deep).That probably sounds like the opposite of what I usually say. Because it is.I think calorie tracking is one of the best tools out there for fat loss.Rachael disagrees because she believes tracking creates problems for the people she works with.Perfectionism.Obsessing over the number.Throwing the day out because they went 200 calories over.Her system gets around that by building structure into everything.Instead of "hit your numbers," her clients get parameters:Protein servings sized to them.Specific eating windows.A built-in dessert every day (she calls it BID).One treat meal a week with actual rules around it.Drinking nights capped at two with specific drinks.It's basically a pick-your-own-adventure meal plan with guardrails. The calorie deficit happens, they just don't see the math.We also had a pretty good debate over intermittent fasting (she thinks it backfires for most women because they get too perfectionist about the timing).And we disagreed on whether fasting itself provides longevity benefits or whether it just makes a calorie deficit easier to hit.But the conversation that surprised me most was peptides.A few years ago Rachael was firmly anti-Ozempic. Now she's been microdosing for months.Not for weight loss — but for inflammation, energy, and what she described as "feeling like a sponge that finally got wrung out."She's also been experimenting with NAD+, GHK-Cu (the copper peptide for skin and hair), BPC-157 for gut health, and a few others.We got into where this is all headed — and why she thinks microdosing GLP-1s will eventually be classified as a longevity tool, not a weight loss drug.I'm more cautious. But I think she's probably right about where this is going.We get into:Why Rachael's clients lose weight without tracking a single calorieHer actual system (built-in dessert, treat meals, alcohol rules, eating windows)Why "the habits that get you lean should be the same habits that keep you lean"The intermittent fasting debate — and why she thinks it backfires for most womenHow her view on Ozempic completely flippedMicrodosing GLP-1s as a longevity tool, not a weight loss toolThe other peptides she's experimenting with right nowWhy she rates exercise as a drug — and why the data backs her upWhere weight loss medication is probably heading in the next 10 yearsClick below to listen to this great conversation!Find Rachael on Instagram: @rachaelschwartznutrition

"How do I stop obsessively ruminating about the person who rejected me?" is one of the most frequently asked questions I receive — and in today's episode, we're talking all about why it's so easy to fall into the trap of fixating on someone who didn't choose you. Whether it's the situationship that never became anything more, the person who ghosted you or left you without warning, or something in between, the experience of obsessing over someone is familiar to many of us. But as we'll talk about, it's often less about them, and more about what we make it mean about ourselves.

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable episode, Chase and Chris discuss how to stay on track with your health goals during the busy summer months. They explain why maintenance can sometimes be a better goal than fat loss when vacations, cookouts, and family events start filling your schedule.The coaches also answer questions about when it's time to lower calories versus when you're simply being impatient with results. They talk about using data instead of emotions when making nutrition changes and why consistency matters more than making drastic cuts.They dive into a listener question about gluconeogenesis and protein intake while following a ketogenic diet for medical purposes, explaining how the body creates glucose when needed and why protein needs can vary from person to person.Another important discussion focuses on the idea of a "good enough" day. Chase and Chris explain why trying to be perfect with calories, protein, workouts, water, sleep, and steps can leave you feeling like a failure, even when you're making great progress.Finally, they tackle food noise and constantly thinking about food. They share practical strategies for creating more structure, reducing decision fatigue, and building a life that doesn't revolve around food.Chapters(00:00) Summer Is Here: Why Your Goals May Need to Change(01:30) Should You Shift From Fat Loss to Maintenance?(05:07) How to Know When It's Time to Lower Calories(09:36) Gluconeogenesis, Protein Intake, and Ketogenic Diets(14:55) What Does a "Good Enough" Day Really Look Like?(21:17) Tired of Thinking About Food All the Time?(27:31) Final Takeaways and Closing ThoughtsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

Today's conversation between Impact Theory host Tom Bilyeu and Tommy Robinson focuses on the rapid demographic and cultural shifts currently reshaping cities across the West, with particular emphasis on immigration, identity, and social cohesion. One concept discussed was how these changes are sparking some of the most contentious and consequential debates of the coming decade. A key theme that emerged was the tension between traditional national identity and values, and the effects of multicultural communities—particularly how integration, or the lack thereof, shapes perceptions of safety, belonging, and the preservation of cultural norms.The discussion explored personal experiences of growing up in a changing community, the challenges of assimilation, and the feeling of being unable to openly discuss sensitive issues due to fears of being labeled or facing legal and social repercussions. Several points were raised, including concerns over political correctness, the role of government and corporations in mass immigration policies, and the resulting impact on community values and public discourse.Listeners can expect a deep dive into not only the lived realities behind these societal changes, but also the broader forces—political, economic, and cultural—that drive and shape them. The episode presents a controversial and candid examination of what is at stake for the future, and invites audiences to reflect on the values that define collective identity and community in an increasingly complex world.Chapters:00:00 UK immigration and political context16:52 Discussing causes of public outrage21:35 Discussing the George Floyd case39:40 The influence of ideological beliefs52:00 Discussing racial justice and perspectives54:06 Nelson Mandela's Vision for Unity01:10:30 Discussing labor and economic factors01:19:06 AI's role in modern society01:30:53 Modern struggles and wealth disparity01:44:37 Questioning female representation in gaming01:46:50 Discussion on attractive character design02:04:16 Issues with police response to stabbing02:07:34 Obsessing over achieving goalsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to another intense episode of The Tom Bilyeu Show. Today, Tom & Co-host Drew tackle some of the most divisive and urgent headlines shaping global discourse. In the wake of the shocking body cam footage revealing Henry Nowak's final moments and the resulting riots across the UK, Tom explores the viral online comparisons between Britain's response to the deaths of George Floyd and Henry Nowak, digging into the broader implications for culture, politics, and the escalating tensions around immigration and anti-white bias.They break down the details: the fatal altercation, two-tiered policing, and the ripple effect this incident has had—drawing in political leaders, fueling protests, and exposing perceived double standards in justice and public outrage. The conversation delves deep into the roots of these societal clashes, including how narratives around victimhood, race, and ideology are amplifying divisions both in the UK and beyond.But the episode doesn't stop there—world events from Russia's attack on Ukraine, to debates over the government's role in AI, to controversies igniting the gaming world, all collide in this multi-faceted discussion. Buckle up for a powerful and nuanced conversation that doesn't shy away from the hard questions.00:00 UK immigration and political context16:52 Discussing causes of public outrage21:35 Discussing the George Floyd case39:40 The influence of ideological beliefs52:00 Discussing racial justice and perspectives54:06 Nelson Mandela's Vision for Unity01:10:30 Discussing labor and economic factors01:19:06 AI's role in modern society01:30:53 Modern struggles and wealth disparity01:44:37 Questioning female representation in gaming01:46:50 Discussion on attractive character design02:04:16 Issues with police response to stabbing02:07:34 Obsessing over achieving goalsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If food is constantly on your mind, I want you to hear this first: it is not because you lack discipline. So many women walk around feeling frustrated with themselves because they can't stop thinking about food. Maybe you finish a meal and you're already planning the next one. Maybe you spend the whole day trying to eat “perfectly,” only to end up overeating at night and wondering why you can't just get it together. Or maybe you're simply exhausted from the constant mental battle—the rules, the guilt, the pressure, the overthinking. But here's the truth: most women who are obsessed with food don't actually have a food problem. What they really have is a body and mind that no longer feel safe, nourished, rested, or spiritually grounded. When you under-eat, overexercise, run on stress, sleep too little, and try to rely on willpower all day long, your body starts fighting back. Your brain becomes hyper-focused on food because it thinks survival is the priority. That obsession with food is often a symptom, not the root issue. And today, we're going to talk about how to start breaking free from that cycle. I'm sharing three practical strategies that can help you stop obsessing over food—physically, mentally, and spiritually—so you can finally experience more peace around eating and in your body. And if you're looking for deeper support and accountability, I'd love to help you personally through one-on-one coaching. You can reach me at taraj@dietditching.com And don't forget to join our Facebook community, Lose Weight Live Free, where women are learning how to pursue health without living in bondage to food.

Author Morgan Housel once said: 'You should obsess over risks that do permanent damage and care little about risks that do temporary harm, but the opposite is more common.' And he's right—most investors spend more energy worrying about the noise than the real danger. We'll talk about it on this episode.

Have you ever stared at a text message for 20 minutes trying to decode it and then another 20 minutes trying to figure out how to respond to it? In this week's episode, I dive into the obsession and overthinking that can happen in dating, when every text, silence, and tiny interaction suddenly feels loaded with meaning. (And yes, I act out the entire internal meltdown we've all had while trying to craft the “perfect” reply.)More importantly, I share a powerful framework I teach to my coaching clients called the “CALM Method,” designed to help you stop spiraling and regain emotional control. We explore the idea of the “bodyguard," which is the protective part of you formed from past experiences that tries to keep you safe, but often also creates anxiety. I'll walk you through practical steps to calm that fear, reconnect with yourself, and focus on real compatibility instead of fantasy. ---►► If you want to stop feeling invisible on the dating apps, get out of situationships, and get real commitment, check out my free online masterclass Dating With Results: DatingWithResults.com Hosted on Acast.

What if you treated every dollar as a "fun coupon" instead of something to hoard and stress over? In this episode, Stan The Annuity Man lays out how annuities can create guaranteed income, break the scarcity mindset, and give you permission to finally enjoy Chapter Two of your life.   In this episode, The Annuity Man discusses:  Money as "fun coupons" and winning the game Core purposes of annuities and principal protection Taxes, rich mindsets, and not over-optimizing Scarcity scars, personal hardship, and financial trauma Using guaranteed income to actually enjoy life in Chapter Two   Key Takeaways:  Money is most powerful when it's treated as a tool for enjoyment and experiences, not just accumulation. Annuities are primarily designed for principal protection and lifetime income, creating predictable "fun coupons" you can actually spend. Obsessing over taxes, markets, and spreadsheets often prevents people who have already "won the game" from enjoying their lives. A scarcity mindset rooted in past financial hardship can trap even very wealthy people in fear, unless they consciously choose to spend and live. Building an income floor with guarantees (like annuities, Social Security, pensions, and RMDs) can free you to focus on lifestyle, relationships, and Chapter Two of life.   "Money is nothing more than fun coupons." —  Stan The Annuity Man   Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

April News You Can Use Your LDL Is a Horoscope, and Your Pancreas Isn't Lazy Topics include: AI turf wars with ChatGPT compete with "Open Evidence" for doctors' attention; None of these AI tools are actually integrated with our clunky Electronic Health Records yet. Doctors aren't calculators: Obsessing over a single cholesterol reading is ridiculous. 20% of heart attack victims look perfectly healthy, and we're ignoring better markers like Lp(a). Enough GLP-1 shaming: Gym bros whining about weight-loss drugs need to can the moral superiority; Meanwhile recent evidence suggests non-response in 10% is often genetic, not a character flaw. Hence we need precision medicine, not judgment yet we still treat everyone with the same blunt-force approach.

For years, I avoided weighing myself.  I thought it would make me obsess more. So I didn't do it.  But here's the irony: I was obsessing constantly anyway.  Every time my clothes felt tight, every time someone I hadn't seen in a while asked if I was still running, my brain would spiral. Do they think I've gained weight? Have I? Then I read my friend Darya Rose's book Foodist, where she recommends experimenting with weighing yourself every single day — without shame or pride — as a way to actually stop the obsession.  I decided to give it a go. It changed everything. Not only did I know exactly where I stood (no more guessing), but I also discovered that after a big eating day, the damage was almost always much smaller than my brain had convinced me it was.  And the most beautiful unexpected bonus?  Doing this daily helped me separate my self-worth from the number on the scale. I no longer see myself as a better person when the number is lower, or a worse person when it's higher.

Have you ever had one of those days where you wake up and think, today's the day I'm finally going to eat better… and honestly, you do great—until mid-afternoon hits. All of a sudden, you can't stop thinking about snacks. Or maybe for you, it's at night. You've eaten dinner, you should feel satisfied… but something still feels off. And the cravings just keep calling your name. Here's what most women get wrong about this… It's not a lack of willpower. And it's not that you just need to “try harder.” A lot of the time, it comes down to something much simpler: you're not actually satisfied. And one of the biggest missing pieces? Protein. But don't worry—this episode is not about tracking every gram or obsessing over your food. Instead, I'm going to walk you through four simple, realistic high-protein habits that can help naturally calm cravings, keep you fuller longer, and honestly… just bring a sense of peace back to your eating—without overthinking everything. And if you're listening and thinking, “I need more support with this,” come join us inside the Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free. It's such a great space to stay encouraged and connected with other women on the same journey. And if you're ready for deeper support and real accountability, I'd love to work with you one-on-one. You can email me at taraj@dietditching.com and we'll talk about what that could look like for you. Alright—let's get into today's episode.

In the latest episode of Executive Function, Brett is joined by Diya Jolly, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Xero. Before Xero, Diya was CPT at Okta and led YouTube's advertising monetization products at Google. In this conversation, she unpacks her three-bucket framework for delegating decisions, why the most important part of a CPO's role is to drive team-wide ambition, and why the best executives need to spend half their time thinking, not doing. In today's episode, we discuss: Why a CPO's number one job is raising their team's ambition, not shipping features How to demand the best from your team without creating a fear-based culture Why organizational politics is actually an incentives problem How Diya is “militant” with her calendar to carve out dedicated thinking time Why you should avoid chasing titles in your career - and what to chase instead References: Google: https://www.google.com Melio: https://meliopayments.com Okta: https://www.okta.com Sukhinder Singh Cassidy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukhinders/ Xero: https://www.xero.com Where to find Diya: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/diyajolly Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast Timestamps: 00:12 How an excellent CPO makes an impact on the business 02:01 How the CPO role shifts under founders vs hired CEOs 03:38 Influencing a founder without going deferential 07:37 How adding value to customers is always a net positive 08:45 Why roadmaps need more risk in the AI era 12:30 How to shelter innovation teams from the existing system 15:12 What's different about being a great CPO in 2026 17:34 How AI has changed the concept of an app 18:28 It's essential for CPOs to fly at a low altitude 20:34 How misaligned incentives cause organizational politics 25:13 Being demanding without creating a fear-based culture 28:10 Why raising ambition is a CPO's number one job 31:39 The boss who taught Diya to keep raising the bar 32:43 The hardest part of being a CPO 35:28 The three buckets Diya uses to delegate 36:30 How Diya protects deep-work time on her calendar 42:45 Xero's game-changing early bet on AI insights 44:58 How far into the future should CPOs plan for? 47:14 What it takes to be an excellent C-suite member 48:53 Why ambitious PMs should chase impact, not titles 50:28 The four bottlenecks that stall career growth

I've been thinking a lot about balance. Am I working too much? Obsessing about my body and what I eat more than enjoying food and accepting myself. And what about my relationships?

Is it actually possible to pursue fat loss and strength goals without your body consuming your mental space? Today's guest thinks so. Brittany Braswell, host of the Faith-Filled Food Freedom podcast, joins me to tackle the messy intersection of body goals and mental obsession. We dive into when healthy habits cross the line into unhealthy obsession—and how to recognize if you've already crossed it.  This isn't about abandoning your goals or embracing toxic positivity. It's about finding a way to pursue the body you want without letting it hijack your brain. Wherever you are in your healthy journey, this episode offers a refreshingly honest look at how to build strength—both physical and mental—without building an obsession.

Welcome to Episode 300 (yes, that is 300!) of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is April 24th, 2026 and today we're looking back at 15 lessons I've learned over my last 15 years of indie publishing. We'll also start off with Coupon of the Week and an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. First up, let's have Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Curse of the Orcs, book number four in the Dragonskull series, (as excellent narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store. And that coupon code is ORCS2026. And as always, the coupon code and links to my Payhip store will be available in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through May the 4th, 2026. So if you need a new audiobook for this spring, we have got you covered. Now for an update on my current writing projects. As of this recording, I am about 62,000 words into Dragon-Mage, which will be the sixth book in the Rivah Half-Elven Thief series. If all goes well, I am hoping to have that out in May, though it might slip to June, depending on what I have to do in May. I'm also 4,500 words into Blade of Thieves, which will be the fifth book in the Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series. In audiobook news, a recording of Cloak of Illusion by Hollis McCarthy is approaching the end, one more proofread listen, and it should be there. And then hopefully the audiobook should be out in May. Brad Wills is also recording Blade of Wraiths right now. So hopefully we should have those audiobooks for you before too much longer. And that's where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:01:46 Main Topic: 15 Years of Indie Publishing Now onto this week's main topic, 15 years of indie publishing because as of April 2026, I have now been indie publishing for 15 years, which is the longest continuous time I've ever actually done anything in my life. I've never had any other job or professional association that has lasted this long. I've done this for so long that when people are angry with me, they no longer preface their remarks on my feelings by saying, "Listen here, young man." I suppose that puts me in the upper tier of indie authors, not in terms of income or market footprint, but in sheer, bloody-minded longevity. There are still indie authors out there who have been doing this for longer and are still publishing regularly, but not all that many. Eventually, indie authors typically burn out and just stop publishing, or stop publishing due to real life reasons, such as illness, family illness, moving, changing jobs, et cetera, or get some kind of tradpub deal and stop indie publishing. It makes sense that indie authors burn out. Sometimes, or even frequently, both writing and the business side of writing can feel like a slog, but I've been blessed with a mind that loves the grind. I don't say that to gloat, but to instead express my immense and humble gratitude to God (as Abraham Lincoln said long ago, the "beneficent Creator and Ruler of the Universe" & the "Great Disposer of Events") and to all of you, the many people have read (and after 2017 when I started with audiobooks, listened to) one of my books. Thank you all very much. By good fortune, my 15th anniversary of indie publishing and the 300th episode of this podcast coincide. So for the 300th episode of this podcast, I thought it would take a look back at the last decade and a half and reflect on 15 lessons learned in 15 years of indie publishing. #1: Embrace the slog. I think if you want to be a writer, you have to actually like writing. There are a surprising number of writers for whom this is not true, like they enjoy having written or the rewards of the writing, but they don't actually enjoy the part Glenn Cook famously called "put your backside in the chair and do it. " I'm fortunate that I do enjoy that part, but a lot of writers don't. Writing is often a grind in the same way that things like diet, exercise, and home maintenance are. Like if you do them for one day, it's not enough. You have to do them consistently day after day to have results. I think writing is kind of the same way. Effort applied over time cannot do all things, but it can do a lot. This applies to writing as well. A little bit every day can really add up over enough time. #2: Finish the book. A lot of writers get like one third of the way through their book and then give up or start something else. There's often a good deal of perfectionism involved in this. Here is a rule of thumb: a finished, imperfect book is infinitely better than the perfect version that exists only in your imagination, but will never exist anywhere else because you will never write it. Steve Jobs famously said, "real artist ship." I think the corollary is that if you want to be a writer, you have to finish things and then move on to the next thing. If finishing a novel seems daunting, I would suggest first writing short stories or perhaps novellas and learning to finish those. No one runs a marathon without first learning to run a mile after all. #3: Back up your data. This is an important one. I've gone through a lot of computers in the last 15 years, but I've never lost a large chunk of work because I back up regularly. I would suggest a three part system. Use whatever automated local backup your OS provides onto an external hard drive. Do manual local backups onto a flash drive of appropriate capacity and then have some sort of cloud backup you can rely on, which means you'll probably have to pay for it. That way, even if your house or apartment blows up (God forbid!), you will still have a copy of your stuff somewhere. #4: Be willing to learn new skills as needed. It occurred to me that most of these software tools and programs I use on a day to day basis nowadays did not exist when I started in April of 2011, or they're things that I've had to learn in the years since. Like 15 years ago, I didn't know anything about online advertising, Photoshop, 3D rendering, graphic design, social media, paperback formatting, ebook formatting, audiobook production, podcasting, small business taxes, and a bunch of other stuff, but I've picked it up in the year since. I wouldn't say I'm an expert at any one of those things, but I've been able to combine them well. Life, as we know, is change. That means you're going to have to change whether you like it or not, but it's best to make sure you're changing to your advantage. That can mean having to learn new skills. Depending on the skill, it can either be onerous or fun, but it's still worth doing. #5: When possible, give away stuff for free. I know some writers get really worried or upset about giving away stuff for free. They'll price their first novel at $9.99 [all prices mentioned are in USD] or higher, and then say things like a latte at Starbucks costs five bucks, why shouldn't my book, which was so much more work, costs more? (Though these days, I think a Starbucks latte probably is more like $8.37.) Giving things away for free gives readers a chance to try your work in a risk-free environment. If someone picks, for example, Frostborn: The Gray Knight and they don't like it or give up on it by chapter four, they're not out anything but time. But if they enjoy it, they might pick up Frostborn: The Eightfold Knife for $0.99. If they like that, they might go on to the rest of the series where the books are $4.99. That really adds up over time. I've also written and given away via my newsletter a lot of short stories. I have to admit that while I enjoy short stories, I mostly do this to increase the click-through rate of my newsletter. It's best to think of giving away things for free as like planting seeds. If you're a farmer, you pay a lot of money for your crop seed, but then you have to sacrifice it in hope of getting a crop and potentially losing all the money you spent on the seed if it doesn't grow. Giving away ebooks for free is kind of like that. #6: Don't expect sales to go up every year or every quarter. There are pros and cons to the publicly held and traded corporation model, but I think one of the big cons is that the shareholders often demand that revenue goes up every quarter ("Number Go Up", to quote the Internet meme). The trouble is that this isn't sustainable in reality and leads to a lot of economic damage along the way. There's a good chance that when the AI companies tank in the next few years, they're going to take a good chunk of the economy with them because they push this growth at all cost mindset. Even on a smaller scale when a company has mass layoffs to make Number Go Up, it causes all kinds of havoc in people's lives. In writing and publishing, you definitely should not expect sales to go up every quarter or even every year. It just doesn't work that way. Overall, if you have more books, you can generally expect they'll sell more, but it doesn't always or even frequently work like that. Ebook sales, like everything else, tend to ebb and flow. Also, what we will politely call "macroeconomic events" tend to affect sales a good deal. After 15 years, I found that the book reading population tends to overlap a fair bit with the "news doomscrolling" population. So every time there's a significant news event, sales tend to drop. They always drop during a US presidential election year, which inevitably shocks any authors who started publishing after the last election. The 2024 [US Presidential] election had that happen a lot because as you no doubt remember, there were a lot of dramatic news events that summer. Sales also tend to drop around Christmas because of holiday bills, and again in August and September, since that's when a lot of people have significant back to school expenses. If you have a really good sales month or year, that's great, but definitely do not plan on it lasting forever or going up forever. And if you do have that kind of windfall, it's a good idea to do sensible financial things with it- pay down debt, save it in sensible investment or retirement accounts, that kind of thing. It is a terrible, terrible idea to take on additional debt, hire employees you don't need, or commit to other unsustainable financial commitments. Living well below your means is a principle that can help you avoid much pain. Also, if you do have a windfall month or year, be sure to save for the tax bill you will have the next time you file taxes because Uncle Sam (or your national equivalent of Uncle Sam) will very much want his cut. #7: Don't start a series unless you plan to finish it. This is less of a thing for romance or mystery novelists since their books tend to be more episodic. However, if you're writing fantasy or science fiction, it's a really good idea to make sure you finish your series because there's nothing science fiction/fantasy readers hate more than a series that never gets finished. There are a couple of reasons for this, but there have been a few very high profile examples of popular series remaining unfinished and that really soured readers on the idea of unfinished series, which is often detrimental to new writers who are just starting out. So if you're going to write in series, you need to commit to finishing them even if it's a lot of work. I've done that myself a couple times. For a while, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to finish Silent Order or Stealth & Spells Online, but I got them done. If you are a newer writer and you want to write in series, I would suggest starting with trilogies. They're less of a commitment than say something like Frostborn, which was 15 books. #8: Don't stress about bad reviews. Every writer has to learn to let bad reviews go. Obsessing over them isn't healthy and freaking out over them on social media is never good and can have bad consequences. It is a hard lesson to learn, but you just have to learn to ignore bad reviews. People can take reacting to bad reviews to insane extremes. There was a criminal case a while back where writer drove to someone's house and attacked a critic with a wine bottle because of a Goodreads review. Granted, that is an extreme case, but there have been numerous examples of writers going to war with critics over social media or even just complaining about bad reviews on social media only for the Internet to fall on their heads. You just have to learn to ignore bad reviews. It's not easy, but you can just follow these two rules about bad reviews. First, say nothing. Second, do nothing. "Never complain, never explain," to paraphrase Benjamin Disraeli. If it helps, the longer you do this and the more you write, bad reviews matter less because you can't remember everything. Like after you've written your first book, you can remember every single bit of it and every little decision and bit of thought process that went into the writing. But after 172 books, I honestly can't remember everything I've written unless I look it up. Like if someone complained about the griffin diarrhea joke in Malison: Dragon Fury, I would just kind of stare blankly because it would take me a while to remember it! #9: Social media is a potentially destructive time sink. This kind of relates to the previous lesson, but there are a lot of ways that social media can waste enormous amounts of your time. Arguing with strangers is one of them and the most obvious and potentially the most destructive, but passive consumption can be just as insidious. The phenomenon of doomscrolling, of endless scrolling through bad news is well known and is psychologically harmful. There's also "comparisonitis", which can be especially insidious for writers, since people generally put their curated selves on social media. Interestingly, sometimes people put the curated negative selves on social media. The way some people complain and present themselves in their posts, it's amazing they have the energy to type up posts complaining about their woes. No doubt that is done for engagement. There are also countless people who simply make up outrageous stories about hot button issues for clicks and clout. You also want to avoid arguing with strangers on social media because it will inevitably turn out that person in question is unemployed and therefore has infinite free time and also has poor reading comprehension and some sort of rage-based mood disorder. Overall, I would say that the best way to engage with social media while keeping your sanity is to remain positive. Share as few personal details as possible. Don't argue with strangers and only say things that are verifiably true. That will let you avoid a lot of potential trouble. #10: Pay people promptly and on time. Speaking of avoiding trouble, paying people on time will let you avoid a galaxy of woes. No one person can't possess all skills. So if you write long enough, you're going to need to subcontract out some stuff, whether it's editing, cover design, web design, accounting and taxes, audiobooks, and so forth. So if people do work for you and you are satisfied with this work, then you should pay them on time. This is a concept that a lot of people can't seem to grasp, and I've heard a lot of horror stories over the years about authors who try to weasel out of payment. So if you hire people to do things for you and they do them to your satisfaction, then pay them the agreed amount on time. This will also have the nice effect that if you pay people on time and build up track record of this, they'll be more willing to accommodate reasonable requests from you. #11: Don't worry about NFTs, Crypto, the Metaverse, LLMs, or whatever the latest doomsday tech trend is. The second half of the 2010s and the entirety of the 2020s have been filled with technologies that turned out to be useless, stupid, infested with scammers, and overall destructive, such as cryptocurrency, NFTs, the Metaverse, and of course, generative AI. (Apple CEO Tim Cook announced his retirement right before I started recording this episode. I think one of the chief positives of his legacy will be that he kept Apple mostly away from the generative AI mania.) I remember when cryptocurrency was inevitably going to replace fiat money, or when NFTs would be the future of art, or when all the very smart people said that the Metaverse would be the future of work and online communication. A lot of these technologies' boosters said you had to get on board with it right now, or you'll be left behind in the glorious technological revolution. You'll note that none of that actually happened. Crypto's main use case is facilitating cybercrime and NFTs are worthless. The Metaverse, like most of Facebook's bright ideas, wasted a lot of money and did nothing useful. Generative AI is on a similar course. None of its glorious promises of a better future have actually happened, and all it's really done is a lot of destruction and waste of money. The money is running out, public opinion is turning against it, and eventually LLM technology will dwindle to a sketchy corner of the internet much like crypto. Or to put it both more optimistically and snarkily, the best quote I heard about LMMs was that with strange people heralded the next generation of industrial automation technology as the beginning of the Singularity. It's like thinking that the computer that controls the fuel/airflow mixing your car is suddenly going to overthrow society and replace all human work. The one thing these technologies had in common, other than all being massive frauds, is that many writers worried it would be the end of writing, that crypto was going to replace government money or that all art would become NFTs, or that people would prefer AI slop novels over human written ones. However, none of this actually happened and people who predict the future are usually wrong. Various ancient and medieval societies made attempting to predict the future punishable by death. There's an element of religion to this, but I suspect some hard-headed jurists were less worried about offending the gods through false prophecy and had instead realized that many so- called prophets were just grifters attempting to scam money out of the credulous. This principle holds true today. I'm sure by 2030 there'll be some new technology called "groobelfarts" or whatever. Various grifters will swarm over social media saying "groobelfarts" are the future and if you don't get behind the "groobelfarts" (preferably by buying their course and signing up for their newsletter), then you're going to get left behind by the great and glorious "groobelfarts" revolution. But it will turn out to be 95% of scam and then by 2035, all the grifters will move on to the next tech. So I wouldn't worry about generative AI or whatever the next big technology is, which is probably "groobelfarts". #12 It's a really good idea to have your own website. If you're serious about indie publishing, you're essentially running a small business. These days, a small business really needs its own website. I know some writers rely entirely on their Amazon profile pages or social media profiles. This is a really bad idea, in my opinion, because the ebook stores and the social media platforms are changing things all the time and one of those changes might knock your visibility down to nothing. By contrast, with the website, you control it and you can set the content. It's also very useful to have a central location to direct readers. Ideally, your website will have links to all your books, so you can just send readers there. A lot of writers overthink this, but a standard WordPress or Wix template or something of that nature will work just fine for you. In fact, the fewer bells and whistles on your website, the better. It makes it easier to maintain and is that much harder to hack. #13: It's a really good idea to have your own email list. Related to the previous point, it's also an excellent idea to have your own email list to mail your readers. There are some legal requirements around this involving opt-in permission and physical addresses, and obviously it's best to follow them. But an email list, even after 15 years, is still my most powerful tool for reaching readers. As we mentioned above, the various ebook stores and social media platforms forever tinker with their algorithms and visibility. Having your own website is important, but getting people to visit it can be something of a challenge. That's where the email list comes in. With it, whenever you have a new release, you can email people and let them know. Whenever I publish a new book, the best sales day is always, without fail, the day I send out the newsletter. How do you get people to sign up for the newsletter? I found the best way is to consistently give away things for free. If you sign up for my newsletter (and if you haven't, you should do so right now), you get a bundle of free ebooks. Almost every time I publish a new book, I also give away a free short story. So giving away free stuff via the newsletter is a good way to build it and keep subscribers. #14: Don't cheat or be unethical. Like every other business, there are a million ways you can cheat or be unethical in indie publishing- plagiarism, stealing covers, paying for fake reviews, paying for bad reviews for someone you don't like, buying social media followers, manipulating Kindle Unlimited page reads, cranking out LLM slop books, and so forth. Some of it is technically legal, but unethical, and some of it is outright illegal. It can be very frustrating to see people you know are cheating get ahead. That said, it is always best to walk the straight and narrow road as best you can. There are many religious and ethical arguments for doing so, but if those don't appeal to you, the consequences might. If you cheat and do sketchy stuff, sooner or later it will catch up to you. It might take a long, long time. Bernie Madoff ran his scam for decades before he ended up dying in a prison hospital. Sometimes it catches up to you much more quickly. Sam Bankman-Fried only ran FTX for three years or so during the height of crypto mania before it all blew up in his face. People who work for the devil in the end always end up paying him rather than the other way around. So don't cheat or do unethical stuff. Your life will be happier and easier. And at the very least, you won't have to live with a constant low level fear that the consequences are about to catch up with you. #15: Tomorrow is another day. Perhaps today didn't go well. Maybe you're too busy getting your writing done or you got to your writing time and you're just too tired to concentrate. Maybe it was a bad sales day or you got a bad review or you got some bad family news or one of the other myriad ways that Real Life exacts its tolls arrived. Perhaps today was a bad day, but tomorrow is another day. It will be another shot at the ring. I suppose 15 years of self-publishing means I've been doing this for over 5,400 days. There have been some good days and bad days in the mix, but the thing to remember about bad days is that tomorrow is another day. If you miss your writing goal one day, you can try again tomorrow. And that little bit of daily effort adds up cumulatively over time. Conclusion. So those are 15 lessons I've learned in the last 15 years in indie publishing. As always, I would like to thank everyone who read and enjoyed my books and I hope to keep them coming. Meanwhile, we'll close out with a bonus. As I mentioned earlier in the show, by happy coincidence, my 15th anniversary of indie publishing overlaps the 300th episode of this podcast. So to mark the occasion, I'm giving away a free ebook, Writing Lessons from The Pulp Writers Show, which was written by me, Jonathan Moeller, and A.B. Bachmann (who is the researcher, editor, transcriptionist, and webmaster for this podcast and has been very helpful). You can get this ebook for free at my Payhip store until the end of May. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show and the past 300 episodes of The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you have found the show useful as we finish up 300 episodes and continue on to hopefully the next 300. A reminder that you can listen to all the back episodes at https://thepulpwritershow.com. If you enjoyed the podcast, please leave your view on your podcasting platform of choice. Stay safe and stay healthy and see you all next week.  

In this episode, I'm talking about why obsessing over the end result can actually pull you further away from the progress you want. I see this so often with my clients.Obsessing over the end result and not focusing enough on the small wins or daily tasks.It is good to have goals. It is good to have a vision and a plan. But so often, we get so focused on where we want to be that we lose sight of what actually gets us there: the actions we take today.Real progress is not built in one perfect week or one big breakthrough moment. It is built in the small choices, habits, and decisions that happen over and over again.This is your reminder that you do not need to have the whole journey figured out today. You do not need to be at the end already.

Metrics are wonderful. I love them. I use them. And I suggest you track your metrics, so you can make better decisions especially over the long-term.  But metrics are terrible masters and wonderful servants.  Here's what I mean: Obsessing over your metrics without understanding the underlying context of them is a recipe for wrecking your business in a hurry.  Not only are most marketing metrics vanity metrics (which only trick you into thinking you're performing better or worse than you actually are), but even the metrics that are most based in reality can dupe you into foolish business decisions.  That ends today if you listen to this show - as you'll discover the 20 metrics advisors can (and should) track, my favorite metrics from this list of 20, and a few real life stories that demonstrate how metrics can hurt your business.  Listen now.  Show highlights include: 20 business metrics every advisor should track (and why an obsessive focus on metrics alone can hurt your business growth) (4:59)  My favorite metrics for advisors because they keep you in reality instead of going down the path of vanity metric fairy tale land (7:36)  Why tracking your revenue per hour worked is one of the most effective ways to play more guilt-free golf (8:26)  How properly tracking these key metrics can not only identify business problems before they become serious, but also prevent you from getting in your own way (10:59)  A real life example (from a real financial advisor running a real business) about how obsessing over metrics can absolutely wreck your business (12:19)  Since you listen to this podcast, I want to give you a gift: If you subscribe to the Inner Circle Newsletter, I'll send you a collection of seven "objection busting" and copyright free emails, personally written by me, that you can use right away to begin getting more clients.

Hey Tinnitus Friends and Family, Cycling was everything to me. And then tinnitus started. Suddenly, the one thing that used to give me peace became unbearable. Why I stopped cycling: First: I was exhausted. All my energy was going into coping with tinnitus. Googling constantly. Trying supplements. Obsessing over whether it was louder or quieter. I had nothing left for cycling. It felt like too much. Second—and this was harder: When I did try to ride after a couple of months, all I could hear was the tinnitus. I'd be cycling through a forest. Beautiful landscape. Birdsong. Wind. And all I could focus on was the ringing. It ruined the whole experience. So I stopped. I told myself: "Just until things settle." Weeks became months. Months became almost a year. I was waiting for the tinnitus to get quieter so I could enjoy cycling again. But it never got quieter. What losing it cost: Losing cycling didn't just mean missing the rides. It meant losing my reset button. No way to clear my head. No way to feel like myself. Life got smaller. ACT principle: When we abandon our values to manage our discomfort, the discomfort doesn't decrease—but the life does. I thought I was protecting myself by avoiding the thing that hurt. But I was actually making my world smaller. And the smaller my world got, the bigger the tinnitus felt. Because there was nothing else competing for my brain's attention. Just me and the ringing. The shift - what changed: The tinnitus didn't get quieter. It's still loud. I can hear it right now. What changed was my relationship with needing it to be quiet. I realized: I was waiting for the tinnitus to not be there before I could enjoy cycling again. So I made a decision: What if I went cycling with the tinnitus? Not waiting for it to go away. Not fighting it. Not needing it to be quiet. Just going anyway. So I got on my bike. And I rode. The tinnitus was still there. Loud and clear. But here's what shifted: I stopped making the ride about the tinnitus. I stopped needing it to NOT be there. I let it be there—like my heartbeat, like my breath when I'm cycling. And for the first time in months, I felt like I could enjoy this again. I could hear the tinnitus and feel the wind. The tinnitus and the movement. The tinnitus and the joy of cycling. What this is really about: This is what values-based living means. This is what Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches: You don't wait for the discomfort to pass before you start living. You do what matters while the discomfort is present. And when you do that, your brain gets evidence: "I can do this. The sound is there, but I'm still me. I'm still living." That's when habituation happens. These days: I cycle all the time. Through forests. Along rivers. In complete nature. My tinnitus is there. Always. I can hear it. Loud and clear. But I don't pay attention to it. Not because I'm forcing myself to ignore it. Because I'm paying attention to something else. What's the thing you're putting on hold? Not a big question. A specific one. One thing you used to do that mattered to you. Cycling? Going to concerts? Reading in silence? Ready to understand where you are in your habituation journey? Take the free habituation quiz: www.habituate.online It takes 2 minutes and will help you: After the quiz, you'll get our free 4-day email course on ACT-based tinnitus habituation. Let me know in the comments: What's the one thing you put on hold? What would it take to try it again? I read every comment. New videos every Friday. — Frieder

Manifestation isn't about getting something—it's about becoming someone. Today,  Michael walks us through the deeper spiritual process of creation, revealing why true manifestation unfolds from within. From conception to gestation to expression, this is a powerful reframe of how life actually comes into form. ✨Join Michael for his free, new 1-hour Quantum Healing Masterclass on April 7th. Learn more and sign up here: https://events.agapelive.com/quantum-healing/.  Conversation Highlights include: -True manifestation happens as you become more of who you really are, not just when something appears in your life. -Manifestation moves through a natural cycle—conception, gestation, emergence, and expression—rather than instant results. -What you see in the world is an appearance formed from past thought, not ultimate Reality or Truth. -Shifting inner dialogue from "I want" to "I am" begins the process of embodying what you seek. -Gestation is an active inner process of cultivating awareness, even when nothing visible has happened yet. -Re-enchanting the imagination is essential in a world that constantly conditions the mind toward fear and limitation. -You don't attract what you want, you experience what you are vibrationally aligned with. -True stability comes from becoming the source of what you desire, not chasing external outcomes. -Obsessing over results signals lack and can slow the natural unfolding of manifestation. -What feels like delay is often inner preparation, clearing space to receive what you've asked for. -As consciousness shifts, old patterns and environments naturally fall away to make room for a new reality. Next, Michael leads a guided meditation to anchor into your True nature and align with the feeling that it is already done! ✨ What's your Life Question?

Are you constantly measuring yourself against where you think you "should" be in recovery? Always focused on how far you still have to go instead of how far you've come? You're living in "the gap"—and it's stealing your joy and progress. Today I'm sharing one of my biggest recovery regrets and the powerful mindset shift that changes everything: Gap vs Gain thinking. This concept from Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan's book "The Gap and The Gain" transformed how I view progress, and it will transform yours too. In this episode, you'll discover: The difference between gap thinking and gain thinking Why focusing on your ideal future state keeps you stuck My biggest regret from my recovery journey (and how to avoid it) How to measure your progress backwards instead of forwards Why you're missing the blessings in your mess The one question that changes everything: "What's better today than yesterday?" How to start celebrating small wins instead of dismissing them Ready to stop living in the gap and start living in the gain? GAP VS GAIN EXPLAINED Living in the GAP: Constantly measuring yourself against an ideal or "perfect" version Focusing on the distance between where you are and where you "should" be Creates persistent feelings of falling short Always focused on what you LACK Living in the GAIN: Measuring yourself backwards—looking at how far you've traveled from where you started Focusing on progress, growth, and what you've accomplished Creates satisfaction and momentum Focused on what you HAVE SIGNS YOU'RE LIVING IN THE GAP ❌ Focusing on how your body doesn't yet look how you want it to ❌ Obsessing over meals you still struggle with instead of celebrating ones you've conquered ❌ Comparing your progress to others who seem to be moving faster ❌ Fixating on still having food thoughts instead of noticing they're less frequent ❌ Constantly thinking about where you're "not yet" ❌ Feeling like you'll never be enough, never do enough SIGNS YOU'RE LIVING IN THE GAIN ✅ Celebrating foods that once scared you but don't anymore ✅ Noticing decreased time thinking about food compared to 6 months ago ✅ Recognizing mental energy you've reclaimed in areas of your life ✅ Acknowledging small daily victories ✅ Measuring backwards from where you started MY BIGGEST RECOVERY REGRET "I was so focused on what I lacked, that I lost what I had. When you focus on what you have, you actually gain what you lack." I spent so much time thinking about the ideal—a constant moving target—thinking about where I wasn't yet, and how high the mountain seemed to continue to get. I was so fixated on needing to "arrive" that I almost missed the blessings in the mess. My biggest mistake: Not being present in the specific moments because I was too busy looking for the next milestone. If I knew then what I know now: I would have lived every day like recovery was inevitable for me—not optional, just a matter of time. I would have enjoyed the process instead of just trying to get through it. THE POWER OF MEASURING BACKWARDS When you're in the gap: You have an unhealthy attachment to something you feel you NEED When you're in the gain: You focus on what you WANT and feel grateful for the journey The shift from "need" to "want" changes everything: Need comes from internal dissatisfaction that can't be resolved unless you choose to surrender it. Want allows gratitude for where you've been and excitement for where you're going. ACTIONABLE TIPS TO LIVE IN THE GAIN 1. Journal and Identify Your Personal Gains Ask yourself: Am I constantly chasing what I haven't yet experienced, or am I acknowledging how far I've come? 2. Practice Present Moment Gratitude Ask: "What's better today than it was before?" instead of "What's still not working?" 3. Start Sessions with Wins Always identify your wins FIRST, then address challenges 4. Measure Progress Backwards Look at where you are now compared to 6 months ago, not compared to where you want to be 5. Search for Daily Evidence Your mind will start searching for evidence of what's better today when you train it to look THE LIFE-CHANGING QUESTION "If you knew that your dream of recovery freedom was 100% already granted—if God came down and said this is already done for you—what would you do differently tomorrow?" This question shifts you from gap thinking (needing to get somewhere) to gain thinking (being grateful for the journey while knowing the destination is secured). KEY QUOTES

In this episode, Heather Creekmore continues the “Waiting for Weight Loss” series and dives deep into the challenge of getting out of your own head when it comes to body image struggles. Heather Creekmore shares a real, recent experience from her 20th wedding anniversary trip, revealing how old patterns of comparison, insecurity, and the “body image contest” can still crop up—even after years of working through these issues. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: A personal story of sitting by the pool and fighting the urge to compare and compete with other women. The realization that so much of our body image struggle happens in our minds, not just in our bodies. Encouragement to recognize and address underlying heart issues and how idolatry of body image can take hold. The importance of renewing your mind and aligning your thoughts with what God says about you—not repeating old, false narratives. Practical advice on examining your thought life, identifying lies, and experiencing true freedom in your relationship with your body. Key Takeaways: You’re not alone if you struggle with comparison and feeling measured against others—it’s a common experience. Healing and lasting freedom come from dealing with the roots in your heart and mind, not just changing your appearance. Most of the hurtful thoughts you have about your body may not even be true—and you don’t have to keep believing them. Real transformation happens in community, and it’s okay (even necessary!) to get help, find support, and renew your thinking. Call to Action: Ready to take the next step toward body image freedom?

Welcome back, friend. I'm so glad you're here. In today's episode, we're going to keep things very simple, very practical, and very sustainable. Because today we're talking about something I see all the time—especially in high-achieving women. You don't struggle with knowing what healthy eating looks like. You struggle with overthinking it. Calories… macros… ingredients… seed oils… organic… grass-fed… Is it too many carbs? Not enough protein? Should I start over Monday? And suddenly something that should be simple—eating a meal—starts to feel like a math problem running through your head all day long. But healthy eating was never meant to feel this complicated. So in today's episode, I'm going to walk you through a simple framework to help you eat healthy without tracking every bite, obsessing over every ingredient, or turning every meal into a nutrition equation. Because the goal isn't perfection. The goal is peace, consistency, and freedom with food. So let's simplify this together. Let's dive in and start finding some freedom from the constant obsession around eating healthy. And if you're listening today and thinking, “I could really use a little more support in this,” I would love to connect with you one-on-one. You can email me at TaraJ@dietditching.com to learn more about coaching. And I'd also love to invite you into our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free, where women are learning how to pursue health without the obsession. Come on over and get connected—I'd love to have you there.

In this interview, Dr. Jim Dahle is joined by David Stein, host of the Money for the Rest of Us podcast and author of the book Money for the Rest of Us. David shares his personal story of burnout, how it reshaped his relationship with work and investing, and why many high-income professionals struggle not because they lack information—but because they focus on the wrong details. The conversation explores lessons from institutional investing, how to live well without constantly worrying about money, and why simplicity and clarity often outperform complexity. This episode is especially relevant for physicians and other high-income professionals who want a thoughtful, disciplined approach to money—without turning investing into a second full-time job. One of the most underrated financial moves in medicine is working locum tenens. It pays significantly more on average, and you can work locums full time or on the side of your full time. When you work with CompHealth, the #1 staffing agency, they cover your housing and travel costs —which on top of higher pay, really adds up. Locums also gives you more control of your career, allowing you to go where you want, when you want, with a schedule that works for you. It's the perfect way to get ahead financially while getting focused on what you love.  Whether it's locum tenens or a regular permanent position, visit https://whitecoatinvestor.com/CompHealth and build your career your way with the power of CompHealth.
