Send us Fan MailWe have LOTS to catch up on. In today's episode, I'm filling you in on my Europe trip, getting sick while traveling, and coming home completely out of my routine.Then we're doing a current REPORT: what I'm Reading, Eating, Playing, Obsessing over, Recommending, and Treating myself to lately. Think of this episode as a cozy life catch-up with everything that's been happening behind the scenes, what I'm loving right now, and a reminder that sometimes getting back into your groove just takes a little time

In this Sunday Live, I walk through a powerful section of Philippians 3 and share why you haven't arrived… and that's actually the point. I explore Paul's “no confidence in the flesh” mindset, how he treats his impressive religious resume and what he lost in his old religious life as rubbish and what that means for […]

You replay the conversation, reread the text 100 times, re-analyze the comment, Google the symptom, or fixate. The loop promises that if you think hard enough, you can prevent the bad outcome and finally feel safe. But Heather Creekmore explains that the real issue usually isn’t the topic of the thought. It’s the grip it has on your brain. Overthinking often reveals a deeper desire for control and safety, especially when life feels uncertain. In this episode: Why overthinking can feel productive, responsible, or even spiritual at 06:08 How body-image obsession can become an attempt to control one small part of life when everything else feels uncertain at 08:38 Why telling yourself to “stop thinking about it” usually doesn’t work at 12:10 What Martha’s story teaches about setting down the need to hold everything alone How to exchange a posture of control for a posture of trust Why obsessive thoughts grow stronger in isolation Five ways to interrupt the loop - and none of them sound like "just stop thinking about it." A super practical, physical practice for surrender you can start using today! Mentioned in this episode: The final 40-Day Journey starts Monday, September 14th. Join here. Replays are available for missed sessions or if you're learning about it after 9/14/2026.

Do you constantly replay conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing or if people like you? In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores why obsessing over others' opinions is really about self-abandonment—and how to finally heal it. You'll learn why trying to control what others think of you is impossible, how this pattern begins in childhood, and why your anxiety is actually your inner child telling you that you're abandoning yourself for approval. You'll also discover the two steps of Inner Bonding that shift you from seeking control and approval to developing a loving adult self—so your sense of worth becomes internal instead of dependent on others.

How much of your mental space is taken up by your body? What you weigh. What you ate. Whether you worked out. How you look in the mirror. How quickly you're seeing results. There's nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight or feel more confident in your body. But somewhere along the way, taking care of our bodies can turn into constantly trying to fix them. In this episode, we're getting honest about the years we made fitness and our bodies an idol, and how God completely changed the way we approach our health. We're talking about eating whole, God-made foods, building high-protein meals, simplifying meal prep, staying consistent with workouts, prioritizing strength, sleep and stress management, and inviting God into all of it. Whether you're trying to lose weight, using a GLP-1, or struggling with consistency, this episode will help you shift from constantly trying to FIX your body to learning how to CARE for it, and build a healthy body that supports the life God is calling you to live. *******************************

After decades of marriage, hearing that your spouse no longer wants to be married can shake far more than the relationship itself. It can affect your confidence, your sense of identity, and the future you thought you were building together.Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with Divorce Coach Beth Carroll, who works specifically with women over 50 who have been blindsided by divorce.Drawing from her own experience after a 25-year marriage, Beth talks openly about the constant replay of what happened, waking up thinking about it, questioning what was wrong with her, and wondering whether she had wasted the best years of her life. She shares how she eventually began moving beyond those questions and now helps other women do the same.Mardi and Beth also discuss identity after a long marriage, the difference between helpful support and remaining stuck in the same story, and why emotional overwhelm during divorce can influence important decisions about your future.Questions We ExploreQ: Why can being blindsided by divorce feel so destabilizing?A: When your marriage, family, work, future plans, and identity have been intertwined for decades, the unexpected end of the relationship can leave you questioning not only what happened, but who you are without it.Q: How do you stop constantly thinking about your ex and what went wrong?A: Beth describes moving beyond simply retelling the story and exploring the beliefs and emotional patterns that kept her focused on the relationship. For her, reaching a place of neutrality rather than love, anger, or regret became an important sign that she was moving forward.Q: Can divorce support groups sometimes keep you stuck?A: Support and connection can be incredibly valuable, but Beth and Mardi discuss how groups that continually reinforce the pain without helping members move forward can sometimes become an echo chamber. Beth believes support works best when there is also an intentional path toward healing and growth.Q: Why might being the “good person” hurt you during divorce?A: Beth sees women who are so concerned about appearing reasonable or proving that they were not responsible for the divorce that they may avoid getting appropriate professional support or advocating for their own interests.Q: Are the best years of your life behind you after divorce later in life?A: Absolutely not. Beth's message is that the end of a decades-long marriage does not define the rest of your life. There can still be tremendous opportunity to discover what you want and create a future that belongs to you.About the Guest:Beth Carroll helps women 50+ who were blindsided by divorce stop obsessing over him, release the belief that they weren't enough, and reclaim their confidence, calm, and sense of self. Using Rapid Reprogramming and somatic processing, Beth teaches why his leaving can feel like proof of your worth, and how to rewire that belief at the root so you can finally move forward.For Beth's gift:The Blindside Distinction Guide: https://app.bethcarrollcoaching.com/theblindsideddistinction-840544To connect with Beth:Website: https://bethcarrollcoaching.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bethcarrollcoaching/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550705971239About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

Can't stop replaying a conversation, analysing someone's behaviour, or obsessing over what they really meant? Whether it's an ex, a boss, a friend, or someone else in your life, relational interactions can sometimes take over your entire mind, making it hard to focus on anything else.In this episode, I'm speaking directly to the part of you that is overthinking, spiralling, checking, replaying, and searching for answers. The part of you that feels like you need to figure this person or situation out before you can finally feel okay.As a therapist who has been there too, I offer a soothing, grounding, and honest conversation to help you step out of the mental loop. This isn't about pretending you don't care or forcing yourself to “just move on.” It's about understanding what's happening, calming the obsession, and gently bringing your attention and your power back to where it belongs: with you.If this situation is consuming your thoughts and you're ready to regain control, clarity, and emotional freedom, this episode is for you.⁠⁠Work with Carly Ann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠

Should INFPs really try to keep every part of life perfectly balanced?A lot of us believe balance is the goal but what if that's the wrong way to think about it?In this video I explain why I see life more like a swinging pendulum than a perfectly balanced scale. Sometimes you'll go all-in on work. Sometimes family. Sometimes games. The important skill isn't staying perfectly balanced—it's noticing when you've gone too far and making a course correction.I'll also share an RPG way of thinking about life using skill points, why awareness matters more than perfection, and the one question I continually ask myself when I feel out of alignment.What you'll learn• Why INFPs naturally seek balance• The pendulum mindset• Faster course correction instead of perfection• How RPG stat allocation applies to real life• The question that helps you realignChapters00:00 Should INFPs seek balance?01:00 The pendulum metaphor02:10 Life as RPG skill points03:20 Ask yourself: "What do I want?"04:00 Learning from imbalance05:00 My League of Legends cycleQuestion: What area of your life has too many skill points right now?Let me know in the comments.If you enjoy personality psychology, cognitive functions, RPG analogies, and practical self-development, subscribe for more Geek Psychology videos.#INFP #MBTI #SelfDevelopment #PersonalityType #GeekPsychology

Everyone online is screaming at you about virality, volume, and the next thing you "have to" do to be successful. Kelly is here to make the case for the opposite: becoming a quiet millionaire. In this episode, she draws a hard line between chasing popularity and building something real, and gets honest about the cost of the chase, the marriages, the health, the best years of our lives traded for a highlight reel that doesn't match reality.

Every so often, book marketing needs a good cleanout.So in this episode, we're doing our own book marketing “In & Out” list—the strategies, habits, and author expectations we're happily carrying forward, and the ones we think need to be shown the door.And yes, we have opinions.Out: stuffing keywords everywhere they'll fit. Trying to show up on every social media platform because someone told you that you “have to.” Obsessing over follower counts that look impressive but don't necessarily sell books. Treating launch week like your one and only shot at success. And spending money on flashy marketing assets simply because they look like marketing.In: reader-first copy that actually sounds human. Clear book positioning. Choosing marketing channels based on where your readers are—not where everyone else is shouting the loudest. Building reviews, visibility, and word of mouth over time. Growing a newsletter and reader base you can bring with you from book to book. And making smarter decisions about where your time, energy, and budget will actually have an impact.We also tackle one of the biggest author-marketing myths: that more is always better. More posting. More platforms. More tactics. More noise.It isn't.The goal isn't to do everything. It's to know which things matter for your book, your readers, and where you are in your publishing journey.We'll also talk about why long-tail marketing deserves a permanent spot on the “in” list, why reader retention may matter more than chasing a one-week bestseller spike, and why simple, authentic author video can often do more for reader connection than an expensive book trailer.Consider this your permission slip to keep what works, ditch what doesn't, and stop feeling guilty about all the marketing tactics you were never going to enjoy doing anyway.If the episode helps, subscribe, share it with an author friend, and leave us a review so more writers can find practical book marketing advice that actually fits the way readers discover and buy books today.Send us your feedback!Order Penny's latest book, Think Local Sell Global and start building a book sales strategy you have more control over!

OVERVIEW: In this episode, Ashley breaks down what food freedom really looks like after years of dieting, restricting, tracking, and feeling guilty around food. True food freedom is not about ignoring your goals or pretending nutrition does not matter. It is about removing the guilt, shame, fear, and obsession from your relationship with food. Ashley explains why food freedom is not the same thing as being “off plan,” lacking discipline, or eating whatever you want without awareness. Instead, it is about building enough knowledge, self-trust, and body awareness to make choices that support your metabolism, hormones, health, and real life. This episode is especially important for women over 35 who have spent years trying to eat less, cut carbs, track perfectly, or earn their food through exercise. If you feel like you are always bouncing between restriction, guilt, overeating, and starting over, this conversation will help you see food freedom in a completely different way. Key Takeaways: What true food freedom actually means Why food freedom is not the same as eating whatever you want all the time How guilt and shame keep women stuck in the restrict-and-overeat cycle Why tracking can be a helpful tool, but should not feel like a life sentence The role of biofeedback, hunger, cravings, energy, sleep, digestion, and recovery Why holidays, vacations, date nights, and higher-carb meals do not have to derail your progress How to enjoy food without spiraling into guilt or punishment Why one meal, one dessert, or one vacation does not erase your results The difference between using food for freedom and using food to cope RESOURCES: Click here to schedule your FREE alignment call to see if my 1:1 coaching program is a good fit for you: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/7de98067/appointment/18062930/calendar/4677043?appointmentTypeIds%5B%5D=18062930 Join my Rise workout program HERE: https://www.metabolicfix.com/rise Email us at: Support@metabolicfix.com Click Here to learn more about my 1:1 coaching program https://metabolicfix.com/one Take My PHASE ASSESSMENT QUIZ HERE: https://www.metabolicfix.com/phase-quiz Follow Ashley on Instagram: @ashley_fillmore1 Want to see which one of my programs is the best for you?

What if the reason your healing has stalled has almost nothing to do with your food, your gut or your hormones?For women with chronic illness, an estimated 95% of illness is caused or made worse by stress, which means the emotional patterns and emotional load you carry sit at the centre of the mind body connection and your physical symptoms. Obsessing over the physical while leaving that untouched is why the progress never quite comes.In this episode, you'll discover:Why focusing only on the physical leaves isn't ever going to get you the progress you want.How your emotional load creates real, measurable effects in the body that drive symptoms.Why the emotional side feels harder to reach than any protocol, and what actually helps.Now She Heals is a four-month healing experience where we dive into the emotional drivers fueling your chronic illness symptoms and I help you identify, process and release them.

Most e-commerce brands are chasing AI the wrong way. They're publishing AI-generated blogs. Stuffing their sites with keywords. Obsessing over prompts. And wondering why nothing changes. Meanwhile, some brands are quietly growing their organic revenue by 30-40% year over year without relying on hacks or chasing the latest AI trend. The difference? They understand that AI hasn't replaced SEO. It's changed how people discover businesses. In this episode, Colin Ma breaks down the exact playbook he's using to grow established e-commerce brands through the combination of traditional SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). He explains why real customer questions are now one of the biggest competitive advantages, how a simple change to your collection pages can unlock entirely new traffic, and why optimizing your Google Merchant Center feed can drive thousands of additional clicks, often in just a couple of months. But the conversation goes well beyond rankings. Colin also shares how AI has completely transformed his workflow, allowing him to produce the work of an entire agency without sacrificing quality. From using Claude to analyze thousands of customer emails in minutes to building SEO assets that once took weeks, he reveals where AI actually creates leverage and where trusting it blindly can become an expensive mistake. If you're running an e-commerce brand, buying online businesses, or trying to figure out what SEO looks like in the AI era, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can apply immediately.

Everybody wants to know how to stop obsessing over whatever has them scared right now. In this episode I explain why that's the wrong question, and what to ask instead.In OCD and anxiety disorders, an obsession isn't just a strong thought or a passing worry. It functions like a threat. That's why you can't just decide to turn it off. You can't out argue it, out logic it, or replace it with a happier thought, and I'm guessing you've already tried all three.The real leverage is in the compulsion, the thing you do to try to feel safer once the obsession fires. Checking, reassurance seeking, mental rituals, researching, arguing with your own fear in your head. Those are learnable, even though resisting them is genuinely hard. I get into why the distress that shows up when you resist a compulsion doesn't mean you've made a mistake, and why stopping the obsession ends up being a side effect of working on the compulsion, not the goal itself.--Want to talk about what you're hearing in this episode?

The all-or-nothing cycle is one of the most common and most damaging patterns in PCOS healing. Women start strong, burn out, stop completely, feel guilty, and restart again. Over time this cycle erodes self-trust and makes genuine consistency feel impossible. In this episode we look honestly at why this happens and what actually breaks the pattern for good.Overrestriction and PCOS: Why Cutting More Out Often Makes Things WorseRestriction feels like control. But for women with PCOS, chronic under-eating and over-restriction create significant stress physiology that directly disrupts hormone signaling. This episode explores the mechanism behind why restriction backfires, including the cortisol and androgen connection, and what the body actually needs instead.Stress Physiology and Hormone Health: The Connection Worth UnderstandingStress is not just an emotional experience. It is a physiological one with direct consequences for hormone health. In this episode we explore how chronic stress, whether from life circumstances or from an overly rigid wellness routine, activates the stress response in ways that amplify PCOS symptoms rather than supporting healing.Your Nervous System and Your Hormones: Why Feeling Safe MattersThe nervous system and the endocrine system are in constant communication. When the nervous system is in chronic threat mode, the body prioritises survival over reproductive and metabolic hormone function. This episode explains why creating a sense of nervous system safety is not a soft concept but a genuine physiological requirement for hormone health.Sustainable Hormone Support: What Gentle Healing Actually Looks LikeSustainable PCOS healing is not about doing nothing. It is about doing the right things consistently in a way the body and real life can actually sustain. This episode offers a warm, grounded picture of what supportive healing looks and feels like in practice, including what to prioritise and what to let go of.Cycle Loss from Overrestriction: Important Body Feedback Worth UnderstandingLosing a menstrual cycle during a restrictive or high-stress protocol is one of the most significant signals a body can send. In this episode we discuss why this happens physiologically, what it means, and why the response it calls for is more support and nourishment rather than more restriction and effort.Emotional Wellness and Hormone Health: The Piece Nobody Talks AboutGuilt, shame, and fear around PCOS health habits are not neutral. They activate the stress response and make consistency genuinely harder over time. This episode validates the emotional experience of PCOS healing and offers a more compassionate, sustainable framework for moving forward.Consistency Without Perfection: The PCOS Healing Approach That Actually CompoundsSmall supportive habits done consistently over time create remarkable results. Not dramatic protocols done occasionally. This episode closes with a grounded, hopeful look at what real consistency looks like and why the gentlest approach is often the most powerful one over time.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause herePCOS Supplement GuideLet's continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at: https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-189

Today's episode is a live workshop we ran recently. We had great reviews and feedback, so we decided to release it as a podcast episode for you all!If food runs your brain and you're exhausted from negotiating with yourself all day, this one's for you.You're not thinking about food 24/7 because you lack discipline. Food noise isn't the problem — it's the symptom. It's the smoke alarm, not the fire. In the webinar, Jared breaks down why your brain won't stop thinking about food (even when you know exactly what to eat) and how to actually silence it so weight loss becomes the natural byproduct — no white-knuckling, no starting over every Monday.What's inside:- Why food noise is a symptom, not a willpower problem- The 4 root causes of food noise — and how to fix each one:- Avoiding your favorite foods (why restriction creates obsession)- Hiding your emotions with food- Keeping fat loss and real life separated- Dieting too aggressively- Why you have to "earn the right" to lose weight — and diet from the inside out first- How to eat the foods you love (yes, chocolate every day) and still lose weight‣ Apply to Join Dieting From The Inside Out Here: https://inquire.hamiltontrained.com?utm_source=podcast‣ Grab the Food Noise Solution Guide Here: https://inquire.hamiltontrained.com/food-noise?utm_source=podcast

In today's episode, I talk to the older version of myself that's really struggling, feeling really bad, anxious, overwhelmed and unhealthy. The version of me back in 2021 that was still drinking way too much alcohol, overeating, restricting, dieting and feeling desperate that nothing was working. I tell her what to do and what to stop doing. If you're struggling right now, if you're going around in circles, this one is for you. Click play and let's dive in.

Today's Scripture: Psalm 37:1–8 What do you do when someone who hurt you seems to be winning? Today's Scripture speaks into the anger, grief, resentment, and fixation that can rise up when people do harm and appear to get away with it. This episode helps you care about justice without letting someone else's wrongdoing take over your inner life. You'll learn: *Why “do not fret” means more than “do not worry” *How your nervous system can get locked onto someone else's wrongdoing *The difference between righteous concern and corrosive fixation *Why Psalm 37 is grounding, not spiritual bypassing *One question to ask: What is mine to do, and what is God's to hold?

For many, college success seems pre-ordained and the rightful outcome of a thoughtful next generation development plan, But, we all know this isn’t always the case. One of the great fears for many families is a child stumbling with their first taste of independence and outside accountability. LAURIE DHUE shares insights on preparing young adults for college, focusing on the four S’s: sex, substances, self-esteem, and scholastics. This episode offers practical advice for parents and students to navigate independence responsibly and confidently and set those students up for college success. In recovery for 19 years and with a career in broadcast journalism at the highest levels, Laurie is one of the foremost experts in the field and armed with real world, personal experience. https://youtu.be/8JN2iM8gxWA Key Topics The four S’s framework: Sex, Substances, Self-esteem, ScholasticsImportance of consent and online safetyManaging peer pressure and peer influenceBuilding self-esteem in the age of social mediaPractical safety tips for college studentsThe role of family communication and supportLong-term decision making and goal setting in collegeRecognizing signs of substance abuse and mental health issues Guest Name: Laurie Dhue Titles The 4 S’s of College Success: Sex, Substances, Self-Esteem, and ScholasticsHow to Prepare Your Kid for College: Essential Tips from Laurie Dhue College Success Sound Bites “Consent is the most important thing to discuss.”“Social media creates so much pressure on young people.”“One bad decision can lead to a tough time.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Recovery and Wellness03:06 The Four S’s: Preparing for College Life06:05 Navigating Consent and Relationships08:50 Substance Awareness and Safety11:58 Building Self-Esteem in College15:42 Academic Success and Responsibility28:49 Financial Literacy and Practical Majors33:47 Final Thoughts and Key Takeaways Resources Family Wellness First Program – https://familyofficegrowth.comLaurie Dhue on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriedhue/Laurie Dhue on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/lauriedhue/Family Office Growth Partners – https://familyofficegrowth.com College Success Guest Links LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriedhue/Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/lauriedhue/ The Citizen Heir Concept Transcript Preparing Kids for College: The Four S's Framework Featuring Laurie Dhue | Hosted by Frazer Frazer:Welcome aboard, Laurie. Laurie Dhue:Great to see you. Thank you so much for having me on, Frazer. Frazer:It's a pleasure to have you. Today we're diving into an important topic: preparing kids for the transition to college and setting them up for success. You've had a remarkable career in broadcast journalism, and you've also been open about your personal journey with sobriety. Can you share a bit about your background? Laurie's Background and Mission Laurie Dhue:I'm always grateful to talk about recovery and how sobriety can positively impact individuals, families, and communities. I've been sober since March 2007—so 19 years now. Sobriety has given me everything back, plus entirely new purpose and additional careers beyond television news. For the past year, I've been focused on building health and wellness resources for individuals and families—covering physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Through my work with Family Office Growth Partners, we created a program called Family Wellness First, which provides high-level resources to help families maintain purpose, preserve legacy, and operate at their best. The College Transition Challenge Frazer:We talked beforehand about how this work applies to many areas, but one that deserves more attention is preparing kids for college. You've framed this around the “Four S's.” Walk us through that. The Four S's Overview Laurie Dhue:The Four S's are: Sex Substances Self-esteem Scholastics College brings freedom, independence, and opportunity—but also risk. For many students, it's the first time making decisions without parental oversight while navigating relationships, substances, schedules, and academics. 1. Sex: Consent and Boundaries Laurie Dhue:Consent is the most important concept. It must be clear, ongoing, and voluntary. It can be withdrawn at any time. Young men need to understand responsibility for ensuring mutual comfort. Young women need to understand that attention or kindness does not create obligation. Alcohol complicates this significantly by lowering inhibitions and increasing risk. It's also important to understand that sex is not a reliable source of validation or self-worth. Practical guidance includes: Use protection Communicate plans with friends Stay aware of surroundings Know campus resources (health center, security, emergency services) 2. Substances: Risk Management and Awareness Laurie Dhue:Substances can derail judgment, safety, relationships, and academic performance—especially early in the first semester. Key guidance: No pills, no powders (due to fentanyl risk) Be cautious with alcohol; it impairs decision-making Never accept drinks you didn't see prepared Warning signs of a problem include: Obsessing over the next opportunity to drink or use Repeated negative consequences with no behavior change Missing classes or experiencing memory gaps Friends expressing concern Students should have prepared ways to say no and understand that not everyone is engaging in heavy substance use. 3. Self-Esteem: Identity and External Pressure Laurie Dhue:Social media has intensified comparison and pressure around appearance, lifestyle, and status. Ways to build self-esteem: Attend class consistently Tell the truth Leave uncomfortable situations Treat others with respect Make decisions you can live with the next day Support systems are critical: Friends Extended family (aunts, uncles, mentors) Counselors and campus resources Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 4. Scholastics: Discipline and Structure Laurie Dhue:Freedom in college requires discipline. No one is managing your schedule, so students must build structure early—especially in the first semester. Key habits: Prioritize sleep, nutrition, and exercise Review notes regularly Start assignments early Use planners or digital calendars Seek tutoring when needed Discipline is a form of self-respect. Financial and Academic Practicality Frazer:Students should balance curiosity with practicality—developing skills that translate into career opportunities. Avoid unnecessary debt and understand basic financial concepts like compounding. Even small financial decisions can have long-term consequences. Laurie Dhue:Agreed. Use debit cards where possible, avoid unnecessary credit, and think carefully about major purchases. Practical majors today include: Nursing Accounting Engineering Computer science Finance Supply chain and operations Information systems Students don't need to decide immediately, but they should move toward a viable path. Final Takeaways Laurie Dhue: One poor decision can have lasting consequences Small decisions compound over time Asking for help is a sign of maturity College is about learning to manage freedom—not proving independence through risk-taking Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it likely is Where to Find Laurie Laurie Dhue: LinkedIn: Laurie Dhue (Family Office Growth Partners) Instagram: @LaurieDhue Facebook: Laurie Dhue I'm always happy to connect and help families navigate mental health and substance use challenges. Frazer:Terrific. Thanks for being on. Laurie Dhue:Thanks, Frazer.

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.

"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.

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.

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.
