Podcasts about obsessing

Hi Friends! I did what I have always dreamed of, I made my therapist proud. Well he did not say that exactly but I could tell! In the words of "A Guide to Giggle" I decentered Men from my life and truly found myself happy alone, now of course the toxic thought crossed my mind of "so now that I am not looking I will find right?" but the majority of the message is around how I figured out how to be happy with just me. Also I accidentally tell one of my most traumatic 6th grade stories that is SO mean girls coded. Plus the realization that I would have laid myself off too! Well at one of the jobs. Oh and a new nail color I am OBSESSING over.Thank you for listening!

Obsessing over a woman who clearly doesn't want you? You're not alone, and it's not just in your head. In this podcast, I'm revealing the hidden brain trap behind addictive thoughts and the exact steps to break free and take back control of your mind and your life.

In this episode, Dr. Mark talks with Kevin, who's lived with type 1 diabetes for over 30 years. For most of that time, diabetes was in the background—until a sudden complication forced him to pay attention. After developing diabetic retinopathy, Kevin overhauled everything. He cleaned up his diet, started using a closed-loop system, and brought his A1C down by more than 3 points. But his success came with a new challenge: burnout. Now, Kevin checks his CGM obsessively. He micromanages every number. And he feels like if he doesn't stay perfect, he could lose everything. This episode is a powerful reminder that fear can push us too far—and that even when we're doing well, we still need to protect our mental health.

Here's a question that'll make your head spin: What do you do when your top performer is crushing quota but not hitting a required talk time KPI? That's the question posed by Josh Robich and Josh Nelson from Nashville. Josh Nelson ranked 18th out of 130 reps in his first full year at a new company, but he was consistently falling short of the company's sacred talk time metric of 3 hours per day, averaging only 2.5 hours instead. Meanwhile, his company is obsessed with using talk time as its primary KPI to measure sales effectiveness. If you're shaking your head right now, you're not alone. Obsessing over the talk time KPI rather than actual sales outcomes is one of the most backward approaches to sales management I see today, and it's costing companies their best talent. The Moneyball Problem: When Metrics Become Religion Remember the movie Moneyball? Billy Beane revolutionized baseball by focusing on on-base percentage instead of traditional stats that looked impressive but didn't correlate with winning games. He found a metric that predicted success. Talk time is the opposite of Moneyball. It's a vanity metric that makes leaders feel like they're managing performance when all they are really doing is measuring noise. Here's the brutal truth: Talk time means absolutely nothing if it doesn't drive revenue. It means nothing if the conversations are shallow, non-productive, or a poor buying experience. You can have reps talking for 4 hours a day who are dead last on your ranking report, while someone like Josh is closing deals left and right with only 2.5 hours of phone time. Which one would you rather have on your team? Why Talk Time Is a Lazy Leader's Crutch The reason companies fixate on vanity metrics like talk time is because it's easy. It requires zero investment in actual coaching, observation, or skill development. Think about it: It's much easier to look at a dashboard and say, "You need to talk more," than it is to actually listen to calls, analyze technique, and provide meaningful feedback on discovery questions, objection handling, or closing skills. But here's what happens when you manage this way: You drive away your best performers and enable your worst ones. Your top performers get frustrated because they're being penalized for efficiency. Your bottom performers get comfortable because they can hit their talk time numbers while producing nothing of value. What Actually Matters: KPIs That Move the Needle Instead of obsessing over how long reps are talking, and other vanity KPIs, smart sales leaders focus on outcome-driven metrics that actually correlate with sales performance and closing deals. First-Time Appointments How many new conversations is each rep having? In sales, FTAs are your Moneyball. If a rep isn't setting enough first-time appointments, they are sub-optimizing their sales potential. Next Step Conversion Rates What percentage of first-time appointments convert to second appointments? This tells you everything about relationship building, discovery skills, and value articulation. If Josh is converting at a higher rate with less talk time, he's simply more effective per conversation. Show Rates How many scheduled appointments actually happen? This reveals qualification skills, the ability to create urgency and commitment, and the quality of prospecting conversations. Pipeline Velocity How quickly are deals moving through your sales process? This shows you who's truly building momentum versus who's just having long conversations that stall deals in the pipeline. Revenue Per Hour The ultimate sales efficiency KPI is who is generating the most revenue per hour of phone time. Stop Obsessing Over the KPI and Start Coaching When you shift your focus to outcome metrics, everything changes. Instead of telling reps to "talk more," you can provide specific, actionable coaching: For the rep who has great first-time appointment numbers but poor conversion rates:...

Q: Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I'm curious what your take is on spiritual attacks in dreams? Do you think it's possible that one growing in their faith could be being attacked by the other realm during sleep or is just simply bad dreams? Summary In this conversation, Dr. E and Hanna discuss the complexities of dreams, particularly in relation to spiritual attacks and the influence of faith. They emphasize the reality of spiritual warfare, the importance of prayer, and how a strong foundation in Christ can mitigate fears associated with nightmares. The discussion also touches on parenting, encouraging children to focus on positive thoughts and dreams, and the significance of being aware of the content they consume. Bottom line? Dreams aren't where the real battle lies. It's about who and what you trust. Stand firm in your identity in Christ, resist the devil, and let God's Word shape your peace. The believer's strength is not in dream interpretation—but in the indwelling power of the Spirit. Takeaways: -Demons are real, but the Holy Spirit who indwells believers is far more powerful. -Satan can tempt but cannot control a Christian's dreams or thoughts. -Obsessing over dreams or mysticism can lead to spiritual vulnerability. -Scripture and prayer are the best defenses against spiritual anxiety—even during sleep. -Teach children to end their day focused on God to guard their imagination and rest. -Stand firm in faith, not fear—Christ has already won the battle.

 WHAT WAS SAID “The era of followers is dead.”Urban Outfitters' Head of Brand Marketing and Communications, Cyntia Leo, wrote the obit for follower counts during one of the first sessions Monday morning: How Brands Are Winning With Creator-Led Strategies in 2025.“This is really a time about the algorithm,” said Cyntia. “Creators help us be in the algorithm, not just being in the platform.”The idea that follower count no longer holds the value it once did echoed throughout the week.Prop CEO Joseph Perelli drove the point home in a panel on creators and performance marketing: “Obsessing over followers is the biggest mistake marketers make.” Between fake followers, poor audience targeting, and limited organic reach, follower count is no longer a reliable metric — for creators or brands.Takeaway: If leadership still insists on hiring creators based on follower count, it's time to let them know the game has changed. Smart marketers are prioritizing deep content alignment and leveraging creator content for paid media opportunities.Now that our feeds have changed from who we're following, to what they're talking about, follower count matters less than a topic alignment, said Sprout Social Vice President, Outbound Product Management, Brittany Hennessy.Brittany pointed to Loewe and how they opted for the “cucumber guy,” TikToker Logan Moffitt, instead of a fashion or beauty creator when the company launched a cucumber-scented candle.There's a lot of conversation about topic-based marketing, agreed Nya-Gabriella Parchment, UTA's Head of Brand Partnerships.When you understand what your consumer is talking about, what they're truly interested in, what movies they're watching, what podcasts they listen to, that's when, “you can understand who's leading that conversation to tap into and work with,” Nya recommended.Takeaway: Topic alignment is another way of saying ‘Don't focus on follower count.' Instead, brands should prioritize creators who are actively driving conversations around consumer interests — like cucumbers.I got to speak with Lindsey Gamble and Adweek's Senior Tech Reporter, Kendra Barnett, on a panel titled: Creator Content Only Belongs on Social... Or Does It?Spoiler alert: Creators are being effectively deployed up and down the funnel and across every channel.“Creator-featured ads do much better,” echoed Snapchat's Global Head of Public Figures, Francis Roberts, during a panel on Building a Brand That Lasts.The benefit of creators isn't purely for advertising purposes. With more brands launching personality-first projects — like Substack newsletters — creators are becoming even more indispensable for their creative skills and audience insights: these are partners who understand the type of content audiences want to consume!Takeaway: You're not just paying for assets or access to an influencer's audience, said Lindsey: “What I'm really excited about is bringing them in as consultants, bringing them in as creative partners. That leads to more co-creation and collaboration, as opposed to just, ‘Here's a brief, go create a video.'“You want to lead with a content-first approach.”“Brands want to be humanized, and creators can help them.”

Have you ever found yourself caught over fixating on the production quality of your content? It's a debate that's been raging in the content creation world for years, and I'm here to share my thoughts on this hot-button issue, and why “production” might not be as important as people think. In this episode, we're diving deep into the age-old question: What truly defines quality content? Is it the slick production value or the power of what the content talks about? We'll explore why many creators get stuck in the pursuit of perfection, often at the expense of actually putting their content out there. We'll reveal how a simple shift in mindset helped us break free from this cycle and start connecting with our audience in meaningful ways. We also share three actionable strategies that can help you improve your this crucial element and create content that truly resonates. We'll wrap up with valuable technique we learned from a communication expert that can help you fine-tune your delivery and make your content even more compelling. Whether you're a seasoned content creator or just starting out, this episode will challenge you to rethink your approach to quality and help you find the sweet spot between production value and impactful messaging. So, are you ready to create content that not only looks good but truly connects with your audience? Let's dive in and explore how to make your message shine, regardless of your production budget.

I was planning to talk about Infinity War today… But after Thunderbolts, I can't stop thinking about Marvel's boldest twist in years— The New Avengers are here. And I have a lot to say. This isn't a deep recap. It's a raw, passionate reflection on what this new team really means. They're not perfect. They're not polished. But they might just be the most honest group of heroes the MCU has ever assembled. Let's talk about redemption, mental health, and why this misfit lineup hit me harder than expected. If you've been obsessing too… this one's for you.

Written and directed by Jason Buxton, Sharp Corner tells the story of Josh (Ben Foster), a mild-mannered family man whose life seems stuck in neutral. He goes to work but seems dissatisfied. He loves his family but there seems to be something missing. Still, his world finally feels like its moving forward with the purchase of their new family home. However, their home is situated on a very sharp corner that is hazardous to drivers. Then, when a devastating car disrupts their sense of tranquility, Josh's inability to act creates an obsession with saving lives. As his fixation builds, Josh's dive into darkness begins the threaten the safety of his family and the security of his relationships. In this 1on1, we speak to Buxton about obsessing over our dark side and the line between the heroes and villains.

We do not chase after changing Men, thats old, boring, tiring, and repelling. We become the versions of ourselves that cannot see anything BUT the love, value, and respect we have now for ourselves. Next level self obsessing about who WE want to be, and the life WE want to live. The Dreamy Girl Academy - ⁠⁠⁠Join Here⁠⁠⁠ THE Manifesting Girlies Masterclass - ⁠⁠Sign up Here⁠⁠FREEBIE masterclass ‘How to attract a Man who FULLY takes care of you' - ⁠⁠⁠Watch Here⁠⁠⁠  THE HIGH VALUE WOMAN ACTIVATION COURSE - ⁠⁠⁠Enrol Here⁠⁠⁠ THE SELF LOVE GUIDEBOOK & JOURNAL - ⁠⁠⁠Buy Here⁠⁠⁠THAT WOMAN (is confident AF) HYPNOSIS - ⁠⁠⁠Buy Here⁠⁠⁠THAT WOMAN (is confident AF) AFFIRMATIONS - ⁠Buy Here⁠

Send us a textIn this  episode of The Strong(HER) Way, Alisha Carlson breaks down one of the biggest lies women have been sold by diet culture: that your weight defines your health, your progress, and your worth.If you've ever found yourself spiraling because the scale went up—or felt like you could only celebrate when it dropped—this conversation will shift everything.Alisha dives into the truth about body image, weight loss, and why the scale is a lagging metric that doesn't reflect your true health. You'll learn how to track real progress through non-diet health metrics like energy, mood, strength, and hormonal health—because fat loss doesn't always mean healing, and healing doesn't always show up on a scale.This is your invitation to redefine what it means to be healthy—from the inside out.

In today's fast-paced world of cryptocurrency booms, sports betting apps, and market volatility, it's easy to blur the lines between investing and gambling. Some even suggest they're essentially the same: putting money at risk in hopes of a reward. But that's a serious oversimplification—and it misses what sets these two activities apart, not just financially but morally and biblically.Let's examine closely how Scripture, wisdom, and faith guide us in thinking rightly about risk, wealth, and the difference between gambling and godly investing.Surface Similarities, Foundational DifferencesYes, both investing and gambling involve uncertainty. But the nature, purpose, and outcome of that uncertainty reveal a stark contrast.Investing is thoughtful risk—measured, intentional, and directed toward long-term growth and productivity. It's about building something: a business, a future, a legacy. Gambling, on the other hand, is a zero-sum game. One person's win always comes at another's loss. There's no product created, no value added—just money changing hands, often driven by chance.Scripture doesn't condemn risk itself. In fact, Ecclesiastes 11:1 encourages wise, forward-looking activity:“Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.”Farmers sow in faith, business owners launch ventures without knowing outcomes, and faithful stewards invest, trusting God while using His resources wisely.At its best, investing helps others flourish. When you invest in a company, you support its ability to hire employees, create products, and expand services. It contributes to the real economy. This aligns with the biblical call to participate in the common good and steward what we've been given.In contrast, gambling thrives on imbalance. Its business model depends on extracting wealth from those who can least afford to lose it. According to numerous studies, gambling establishments disproportionately profit from those in financial distress. That's not just unfortunate—it's unjust.Scripture speaks clearly on this:“Ill-gotten gains do not profit anyone, but righteousness rescues from death.” - Proverbs 10:2 “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.” - Isaiah 1:17When we gamble, we're often not just risking money—we may be supporting an industry that profits from injustice and preys on desperation.Faithful Investing Is an Act of StewardshipIn the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30), Jesus praises servants who wisely multiply what was entrusted to them. This wasn't a message about maximizing profits—it was about faithfulness. The servants who acted wisely weren't gamblers but stewards who took action with the Master's interests in mind.That's the heart of Christian investing: not chasing gains but multiplying God's resources to serve others and glorify Him.As stewards, we ask not just what we invest in but why. Are we motivated by generosity or greed? By love for neighbor or love of money?Gambling feeds on a dangerous lie: “If I just get lucky, everything will be better.” It exploits our dissatisfaction and fuels a restless craving for more.But the Bible calls us to contentment, not a compulsive pursuit of wealth.“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'” - Hebrews 13:5That warning doesn't apply only to gamblers. Even investing, when driven by fear or pride, can become a spiritual trap. Hoarding under the guise of saving. Obsessing over returns instead of resting in God's provision. That's why heart-checks are essential: Am I trusting in God—or in my portfolio?Gambling Turns Money into a God—Investing Can Turn It into a ToolJesus was clear:“You cannot serve both God and money.” - Matthew 6:24Gambling often makes money the master—something to chase, fear, and idolize. But investing, done with a kingdom mindset, makes money a servant—something to steward and direct toward God's purposes.That's why investing should never be seen as a get-rich-quick scheme. It's a long-term discipline rooted in wisdom, patience, and generosity. It's a way of preparing for the future while contributing to the flourishing of others today.Here's the bottom line: how we handle money is never just a financial issue—it's a spiritual one.Gambling often reflects distrust in God's provision and a desire for quick fixes. When done right, investing reflects wisdom, contentment, and a desire to serve.Here are a few reflective questions to consider:Am I making financial decisions out of fear or faith?Is my heart set on what money can do—or on what God has already done?Do I view my investments as a way to bless others or simply benefit myself?Your Security Is in Christ, Not in ReturnsIn today's uncertain economy, it's tempting to look for shortcuts or put our trust in performance. But real peace doesn't come from perfect financial planning—it comes from knowing the One who holds your future.Whether you're investing, giving, saving, or simply getting by, remember:Your ultimate treasure isn't in the stock market or your net worth—it's in Christ.As you steward God's resources, don't chase the illusion of easy wealth. Instead, pursue faithfulness, justice, and generosity.That's not just wise investing. That's worship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a question about what I actually need to do as far as whether we look at an estate attorney, whether we look at a CPA, whether we look at a financial planner. We have several homes and investments and want to create a trust, but we just don't know which direction to go with it.I want to know if our portfolio is conservative enough. We have about $900,000 to $1 million in property. Is property considered aggressive or conservative in an investment mix?What are the pros and cons of changing house title to transfer upon death and adding my kids' names versus leaving it to them in a will?Is it advisable to contact an insurance broker about skyrocketing insurance premiums, and if so, how do I find a reputable one?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineeHealth | HealthMarkets | Healthcare.govChristian Healthcare Ministries (CHM)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Rahul Vohra is the founder and CEO of Superhuman. Prior to Superhuman, Rahul founded Rapportive, the first Gmail plug-in to scale to millions of users, which he sold to LinkedIn in 2012. He is also a prominent angel investor, and his fund has invested $50 million in over 120 companies, including Placer, Supabase, Mercury, Zip, ClassDojo, and Writer.What you'll learn:• The unexpected insight about virality Rahul gained from LinkedIn's head of growth.• Why Rahul restructured his entire executive team to spend 60% to 70% of his time on product, design, and marketing instead of the

Why do we obsess over people who give us nothing? Why does unavailability make someone more attractive? And how do you break free from this cycle for good? In this solo episode, Sabrina Zohar dives deep into limerence—the psychological trap that keeps you fixated on the wrong people. But this isn't just about dopamine and attachment theory; this episode goes further, exploring: The real reason you can't stop thinking about them (hint: it's not because they're special). How childhood patterns train your brain to mistake anxiety for attraction. Why fantasy and longing feel safer than real emotional intimacy. IFS (Internal Family Systems) techniques to uncover and heal the wounded parts of you that keep chasing the unavailable. How to disrupt the obsession cycle with practical, body-based tools. The question that will break the spell: What am I afraid will happen if I let them go? If you're stuck in your head, constantly replaying what-if scenarios, or convincing yourself they must be the one—this episode is for you. It's time to step out of the fantasy and reclaim your power.
