Is your life mostly intact — job fine, marriage okay, responsibilities covered — and yet you're drinking every single night and can't quite picture stopping? That's exactly where Tim Knapp was for years, and he was also, at the same time, one of the people other people called in a crisis. He spent over a decade working inside addiction recovery programs, walking men out of homelessness and incarceration, understanding the neuroscience of dependency from the inside out. High-functioning doesn't mean fine, and Tim's story is one of the most honest, clear-eyed accounts of what it actually looks like when the two things are true at once. Tim and Coach Cole discuss: Growing up in small-town Oklahoma and discovering the buzz at age 12 — including a homemade raisin wine operation that launched a decade-long love affair with the altered state Why Tim loved the buzz itself more than the taste, and how that distinction became the key to his freedom Working at the Bowery Mission in New York City while his own drinking quietly escalated in the background The painful intersection of conscious and subconscious mind: knowing something is hurting you and still wanting it anyway How reading This Naked Mind led to an afternoon of rereading, a conversation at the kitchen bar, and the first honest talk he'd ever had with his wife about his drinking Why you don't have to lose everything before you're allowed to ask for help — and why high-functioning drinkers are often the least likely to reach out The photo of his childhood self on the fridge, and what it means to welcome that person back Tim's coaching style: asking questions that get to the why, not just the what, and his conviction that you already have everything you need to change Episode links: https://thisnakedmind.com/bookhttps://www.timknappcoaching.com/ Related Episodes: Healing Through Self-Love: Cole's Naked Life | EP 737 — https://thisnakedmind.com/healing-through-self-love-coles-naked-life-e737/ Find the Courage to Choose Yourself: Patrick's Naked Life | EP 735 — https://thisnakedmind.com/find-the-courage-to-choose-yourself-patricks-naked-life-e735/ EP 20: Reader Question – What do You do about Missing the “High” from Drinking? - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-20-reader-question-what-do-you-do-about-missing-the-high-from-drinking/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

This week on the podcast, Sarah and Teresa debrief their epic double-family hangout and all the beautiful chaos that came with it. From the sight of Tez and Mark's 30ft RV parked right out front of Sarah and Eric's house for two days straight, a glimpse of full-on family commune living of our dreams, to skate park adventures, evening walks, ATV rides, Bodhi & Wyatt's budding band career, the girls dive into the kids' dynamics, the dreamy days in Santa Barbara, Sarah's nanny Sonya's chef-level cooking, and all the magic that unfolds when the Olsens and Palmers collide. Tez also unpacks the full RV trip from Vancouver to LA, just her, Mark, her mum, and the five kids thrown into tight living quarters. From campground stopovers that felt straight out of another era, to middle-of-the-night customs drama, to sleep-deprived kids, delirious adults (including Teresa's mum's unwavering go-with-the-flow vibes), chronic overpacking, nonstop boardgaming (the stuff of Tez's dreams), and a strict “no ferals” level of hygiene (aka no shits on the floor!!), it was a whirlwind from start to finish. Equal parts mishaps, magic, and mayhem, laughing through the chaos and somehow making core memories along the way. Resource Links: lovewell.

I've always wondered how specifically having good relationships can decrease our likelihood of cancer or having a heart attack, and improve our immune systems and brain health. Well, I asked a Stanford Neuroscientist and his answers are absolutely fascinating. Dr. Ben Rein is an award-winning neuroscientist and lecturer at Stanford, and the author of the phenomenal new book, Why Brains Need Friends. We are talking about why hanging out with your friends floods your brain with a chemical cocktail that is basically a microdose of MDMA, why being married beats chemotherapy as the number one predictor of surviving cancer, why Botox and Tylenol and Advil are making it harder to make friends, yes, really, and why we should all probably get dogs and get our parents to get dogs if we want them to live a long time. You're going to come away with a ton of action steps to not only live longer and be healthier, but also just feel better every single day.
Why do breakups hurt so much? Because neurologically, heartbreak looks almost identical to drug withdrawal. In a landmark 2010 fMRI study, Helen Fisher and her colleagues showed that the brains of the recently rejected lit up in the same reward and craving circuits — the VTA and nucleus accumbens — that drive cocaine addiction. In this episode of The Dr. Leaf Show, Dr. Caroline Leaf unpacks the neuroscience of heartbreak and why it can take at least 63 days to rewire, plus two more segments: why horror movies might actually be good for your brain (and when they're not), and a Pick My Brain Q&A tackling self-love, the attachment styles myth, unconditional love, and how to reignite the spark in a long marriage.
Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
This is a super vulnerable and real conversation with my childhood friend, Mallory Andrews, about what it means to trust yourself when everything you've known begins to shift. Mallory opens up about walking away from her evangelical Christian community and the recent end of her almost 20-year marriage—and what both experiences have taught her about true belonging. We cover: Why leaving a community can bring both relief and grief at the same time How the pressure to conform removes the ability to be fully engaged and attached to people Why it's not always true that during hard seasons we need to reach out…sometimes that cocooning period is helpful …and more. Whether you're navigating a shift in faith, relationships, or identity, this episode is a reminder that you deserve to belong exactly as you are — no performance required.

Have you ever gotten exactly what you wanted, only to wait for something to go wrong? That's where Brenda is in today's episode — alcohol-free, feeling like herself again, and quietly afraid to believe it will last. In the second session, Emma has spent five years in a cycle she can't seem to break, and she finally gets a look at what's really underneath it. Two coaches, two guests, two conversations that go to some genuinely surprising places. Brenda discusses: Why her alcohol freedom has felt "too easy" — and what that fear is really about How knowledge and science shifted her desire, not just her behavior The one-year and five-year visualization exercise that changed everything Reframing past "failures" as data points that guided her to exactly where she is Building self-trust day by day through The Path community And more… Emma discusses: Her five-year cycle of months alcohol-free followed by weeks drinking again Why alcohol gave her permission to feel emotions she couldn't access otherwise Connecting with an emotional armor that formed in childhood to protect her An IFS-style coaching exercise to meet the "bouncer at the gate" with curiosity The moment her armor responded: "I've been so lonely" And more… Hayley Scherders is a certified TNM Coach with training from the Canadian Addiction and Mental Health Association.

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
Wow—I was blown away by executive coach Carrie Fabris this week on Paring Down! We talked all about how to stick to our goals (decluttering and otherwise). Carrie shares practical frameworks for staying focused on what actually matters, especially when results don't happen overnight. What you'll learn: • How to use the “VIBE” framework to prioritize goals and protect your energy • Why burnout isn't about stress itself—it's about the lack of stress recovery • Why saying “no” right now doesn't mean “no” forever …and plenty more. Whether you're clearing out your closet or rethinking your career, this conversation is a reminder that focused, intentional action will always take you further than trying to do everything at once.

When Emma reconnects with a childhood family friend during a disaster relief deployment, she never expects to fall for a man who seems straight out of a movie. A decorated paramedic, respected leader, and real-life lifesaver, Adam is the kind of person everyone admires. As their relationship deepens, Emma finds herself swept into a world of grand gestures, heroic rescues, and unwavering devotion. But as small inconsistencies begin to surface, she's left questioning whether the man she trusts most is really who he says he is. In Part 2 of this story, Emma shares how following her instincts led her to uncover a hidden life she never could have imagined—and the difficult lessons she learned about love, loyalty, and knowing when it's time to walk away.Are you in the Chicago, Tampa, or Orlando area and want to come see us live?!

Ever used drinking to cope with grief and felt like it wasn't even a conscious choice but rather a reflex? Jonathan knows that feeling exactly. He'd been living alcohol-free for two and a half years when he lost his father-in-law and then his dad, just months apart, during the pandemic. On the drive home from the funeral, he stopped at a Mexican restaurant and ordered a margarita. He thought he'd have one and go back to his life. Instead, the door that had been closed swung open, and the whole cycle started over. This conversation with Coach Cole is about grief, identity, and what it really takes to find your way back to yourself. Jonathan and Coach Cole discuss: How a scuba trip at sixteen taught Jonathan that alcohol was the price of admission for real connection, and how that belief quietly ran the show for twenty-five years Building his identity around being the life of the party through the service industry years, and the first time he realized he had no off switch Spending an entire Renaissance Festival doing alcohol math in his head, calculating drinks instead of making memories with his wife The fight, the blackout, and the tearful run in the rain that brought him to the This Naked Mind audiobook How reading This Naked Mind produced what felt like an overnight shift, and the anger he felt at never having been told what alcohol actually was Going two and a half years alcohol-free during the pandemic, then losing his father-in-law and his dad within months of each other The single margarita at a Mexican restaurant that cracked the door back open, and how the whole cycle restarted without a single conscious choice Going through the TNM Institute as his own first client, uncovering twenty-five years of people-pleasing, and finally stepping into who he actually is And more on IFS parts work, somatic experiencing, rebuilding self-trust, and what it means to show up in your own truth...

High-functioning anxiety isn't a personality type. It's a stress response that's gone unchecked. You look calm. You hit your deadlines. You say "I'm fine." But inside, your body is paying a tax that's quietly editing your gene expression while everyone applauds your output. In this episode of The Dr. Leaf Show, Dr. Caroline Leaf breaks down what high-functioning anxiety actually is, what your non-conscious mind has been trying to tell you, and a 4-step framework to start listening. Plus: why your dog's separation anxiety mirrors your own anticipatory anxiety, and a Pick My Brain segment where Dr. Leaf answers your hardest questions about death, grief, and death anxiety. What you'll learn: - Why high-functioning anxiety is built on the "I'm fine" response — and how 40+ years of repressive coping research shows what it does to your heart rate, gene expression, and immune system - The 4 signals your non-conscious mind is sending: emotional, behavioral, body, and perspective — and how to translate each one - The 4-step framework for listening to your non-conscious mind instead of overriding it - Why your dog's pre-departure panic, the suitcase meltdown, the excessive licking — all mirror the same FAS (Fear, Anxiety, Stress) response humans experience - Pattern disruption techniques that rewire your dog's anticipatory anxiety in 6-9 weeks - The neuroscience of grief: why feeling nothing after a death is protective, not broken - Why anticipatory grief makes you grieve twice — and what's happening in the nucleus accumbens during prolonged grief - What near-death experience research suggests about pain at the moment of death Resources: Dr. Leaf's Website: https://drleaf.com Neurocycle Certification: https://drleaf.com (training opens September) 1:1 Coaching with Dr. Leaf: https://drleaf.com/coaching-1-1 Neurocycle App: https://theswitch.app Subscribe so you don't miss the next one — new episodes every Wednesday.

It's much easier to declutter when we filter our choices through certain questions, so I've compiled the best 15 questions to ask yourself when decluttering. Some are famous ("Does this spark joy?") and some are recent viral sensations ("If this had poop on it, would you wash it off or throw it away?"), but I break down why they work (and circumstances when they don't). Choose your favorites from this list and let them help you part with your clutter! Thank you to the listener who requested this episode! Such a great idea to get these helpful questions all in one place.

What does it take to finally break the alcohol shame spiral when it's been running your life for decades? Krista knows the cycle well: a data point, the crushing shame that followed, a vow to do better, and then the slow, sneaky creep back to hiding bottles and pulling over on the side of the road to drink before going home. In this episode, she sits down with Coach Cole Harvey to share the full arc of her journey, from a childhood in the American South to bartending in New York City, to raising two kids in rural Ireland with no family nearby, to the night something finally, irreversibly shifted. A year into her alcohol-free life, Krista is clear: the work was hard, and she has never once looked back. In this episode, Krista and Coach Cole discuss: Growing up with alcohol woven into every family gathering, and starting drinking at 12 or 13 as a way to finally feel like she belonged Bartending in New York City in her twenties, closing bars with no memory of getting home, and knowing even then that something was wrong Moving to Ireland, losing her father while pregnant with her first child, and leaning harder on alcohol to cope with grief and isolation Years of trying — and failing — to moderate, from "only on weekends" to hiding bottles, and the shame spiral that followed every data point The rock bottom moment her husband came home and there was no hiding it anymore, and why that night became the turning point she couldn't explain Returning to counseling, reconnecting with her Path community, and doing the inner work of learning she was worthy of her own care Building a morning practice of meditation, journaling, and yoga, and recognizing that self-care wasn't a luxury but a necessity for her freedom The daffodil metaphor: planting seeds at the beginning of her journey, and finally learning to cut the flowers and bring the beauty inside And more on self-compassion, the stop-start cycle, and what it actually means to believe you are enough… Episode links: nakedmindpath.com Related Episodes: Stopping The Shame Spiral | Alcohol Freedom Coaching | E883 — https://thisnakedmind.com/stopping-the-shame-spiral-afc-e883/ Overcoming Shame and Embarrassment After Drinking | Reader's Question | EP 722 — https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-722-readers-question-overcoming-shame-and-embarrassment-after-drinking/ Naked Life Story: Angela | EP 147 — https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-147-naked-life-story-angela/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

NAD is the molecule in every cell that powers your energy — and there's a kind of exhaustion, the kind a good night's sleep and a weekend off can't fix, that comes from running low on it. If you're a woman in your 40s, 50s, or 60s caring for aging parents while raising kids and running a career — the sandwich generation — that depletion is real, and it's happening at the cellular level. In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf sits down with Mona Rosene, MS, RD, Global Director of Scientific Affairs at Niagen Bioscience, to explore NAD — the coenzyme that powers your mitochondria and fuels over 500 metabolic processes. NAD drops roughly 65% between the ages of 30 and 70, and chronic stress, menopause, poor sleep, and illness deplete it even faster. Mona explains what that means for your energy, brain fog, hormones, and inflammation — and what you can actually do about it.
Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
It's the WORST when people "hide" information or help because they think it will help them get ahead or gain respect...psychology tells us it will do the opposite. In this Good Stuff episode about filling our lives with community, I unpack why we're prone to gatekeeping and why it ultimately works against us. In fact, sharing knowledge, connections, and resources freely is the key to building real community and personal success. What you'll learn: The three mental traps that make gatekeeping feel logical—even when it isn't Why sharing what you know actually deepens your own expertise through the "protege effect" How weak ties and becoming a connector can open doors your closest relationships never could ...and more. If you're ready to stop protecting your seat at the table and start making the table bigger, this one's for you.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes conversations about grief, loss of loved ones, family estrangement, trauma, and depression. Have you ever been in so much pain that reaching for a drink just felt like the most human thing to do? That is exactly where today's two guests have been, and this episode will meet you right there. First up is Cathy, 87 days alcohol-free, who joins Coach Cole to work through something she has been quietly carrying for years: a sibling estrangement that started when her family fell apart after her mom passed. She reached out. They pulled away. The hurt stuck around. Then there is Mike, 65 days alcohol-free, who opens up to Coach Zoe about a grief timeline that unfolded faster than he could process: his mom, his estranged brother, a DNR call made from behind the wheel of his car. Drinking to deal with loss became the only language he had for a while, and the depression that came with it crept in so quietly he did not even see it happening. What both of them found inside The Path is what this whole community is built on: a place where someone finally asks the real question, and you finally get to answer it. In Cathy's Session: The sibling estrangement that started with her mom's estate and the grief that stayed long after Why the hurt lingered even when she thought she had mostly moved on The realization that joy and grief can exist at the same time without canceling each other out Coach Cole's reframe: releasing expectations of others is one of the most loving things you can do for yourself How approaching old pain with curiosity and playfulness changes what feels possible In Mike's Session: Losing his mom to brain cancer, then his brother, and carrying all of it without telling a soul A DNR decision made alone over the phone and the guilt that moved in quietly afterward Drinking to deal with loss when there was no framework for grief and no space to speak it out loud The coaching reframe that shifted his guilt into something that actually felt like grace What 65 days alcohol-free looks like in the body: sleep, mornings, energy, and presence The "forever" moment at a family party, said out loud for the very first time And more on grief, identity, repair, and what it looks like to actually come back to yourself... Cole Harvey is a certified Naked Mind Senior Coach. For years, he felt lost and used alcohol as a way to cope, until he decided to go alcohol-free and focus on finding his purpose. Through curiosity, self-compassion, and adventure, he transformed his life. As a habit change and mindset coach, Cole helps young men understand themselves, build better habits, and find meaning.

Wondering how I stopped drinking after trying to moderate for years? "Have I got a story for you!" says Michele. She ran a business, raised her daughter, kept things moving — and drank every night in a relationship where no one questioned it. Then the pandemic stripped away her structure, her purpose, and everything that had kept things manageable. She tried cutting back. She tried understanding it. Nothing stuck — until This Naked Mind gave her something willpower alone never could: a real understanding of what alcohol was doing to her, and the freedom to simply stop wanting it. Michele and Coach Cole discuss: How a functional habit quietly grew through a painful breakup, pandemic isolation, and lost purpose Why Michele spent her first year using This Naked Mind while still trying to moderate — and what finally changed The hospitalization that became her line in the sand How This Naked Mind helped her understand what alcohol was actually doing to her body and brain How shame became the thing that made drinking impossible to continue Reframing her hardest moments as the reason her daughter now has a fully present mom ADHD, generational patterns, and why "why can I stop sometimes but not others?" finally has an answer And more on identity, community, and what it means to find your own path to alcohol freedom… Episode links: nakedmindpath.com Related Episodes: Is Drinking In Moderation Possible? | Reader Question | EP 08 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-08-reader-question-moderation-possible/ Using Alcohol To Treat Adult ADHD | Amy's Naked Life | EP800 - https://thisnakedmind.com/using-alcohol-to-treat-adult-adhd-amys-naked-life-e800/ I use alcohol to be a better wife and mother | Reader Question | EP 238 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-238-reader-question-i-use-alcohol-to-be-a-better-wife-and-mother/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

Pick My Brain is Dr. Caroline Leaf's new Q&A series — you send the questions, she answers them with real neuroscience. No fluff, no generic advice. Just honest answers to the things you're actually dealing with. This week's theme: why adult friendships are dying — and what's happening in your brain when they do. You have 500 followers and no one to call at 2 AM. The number of Americans with no close friends has quadrupled since 1990. The U.S. Surgeon General has declared loneliness a public health crisis — one that increases your risk of premature death by more than 60%. And yet no one talks about it honestly. In this episode, Dr. Leaf takes real listener questions on the loneliness epidemic: why friend breakups hurt worse than divorce, why your husband's silence might literally be killing him, what happens in your brain when a friendship turns toxic, and whether it's actually possible to make real friends after 40.
Trigger warning: This episode contains references to domestic violence, suicidal ideation, & self-harm ideation. If you've been wondering how to rebuild self-worth after drinking, this episode will meet you right where you are. Coach Zoe coaches Katia through the power of her "alive goal" — learning to love the girl in the mirror after years of not being able to look at her own reflection. Then Coach Cole walks Tracey through meeting her inner critic with curiosity rather than shame. These coaching sessions are raw, real, and deeply human. Learning to trust yourself sober starts with understanding where that harsh inner voice came from — and realizing you don't have to keep carrying what was never yours to begin with. Katia discusses: What an "alive goal" is and why it changes everything Years of avoiding mirrors and not recognizing herself A violent relationship, emotional eating, and the weight of survival Drawing a picture of herself — and seeing who she really is inside Giving herself permission to heal (and why that's harder than it sounds) Choosing The Path after years of trying to figure it out alone And more… Tracey discusses: The self-compassion struggle when criticism is all you've ever known Meeting the inner critic — and finding out it's just scared Why binge drinking and shame create a cycle that's hard to break Tracing perfectionism back to a critical parent How to rebuild self-worth after drinking by separating your voice from someone else's Learning to trust yourself sober one small, honest moment at a time And more topics… Zoe Ewart is a Certified Naked Mind Senior Coach who brings experience and understanding to help with the tricky parts of life's big changes.

What if the thing you thought was holding your life together was actually pulling you under? JiAna spent years reaching for alcohol not because she wanted to drink but because she was living in relentless pain and nobody had anything better to offer her. Between a chronic illness that left her on the floor and a culture that pushed wine at baby showers and playgroups, it made a terrible kind of sense. But slowly, joy started disappearing. The glimmers faded. That's when she knew something had to change. JiAna describes how coaching helped her change her drinking not through shame or rigid rules, but through curiosity, community, and the kind of compassion she'd never been shown — or shown herself. In this episode, JiAna and Coach Cole discuss: Familial drinking culture and alcohol being normalized from childhood Endometriosis, chronic pain, and why alcohol felt like the only option Losing the ability to find joy — the quiet signal that something was wrong Why shame-free support felt strange at first and transformative over time The ACT technique: awareness, clarity, and turnaround in practice Community in The Path and the bonds that lasted beyond the program Becoming a certified Women's Health Coach and being named one of the Most Influential Women of 2025 And more on self-love, hope, and turning pain into purpose… Episode links: endo-ease.comnakedmindpath.com Related Episodes: Overcoming Using Alcohol as a Pain Reliever | Reader Question | EP 656 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-656-readers-question-overcoming-using-alcohol-as-a-pain-reliever/ How can I break free from Mommy Wine Culture? | Reader Question | EP 430 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-430-reader-question-how-can-i-break-free-from-mommy-wine-culture/ Learning To Love Yourself Unconditionally | Alcohol Freedom Coaching | E875 - https://thisnakedmind.com/learning-to-love-yourself-unconditionally-afc-e875/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

Most people would rather shock themselves than sit alone with their own thoughts. In a University of Virginia study, 67% of participants chose physical pain over 15 minutes of silence. That's not a personality flaw — it's a skill most of us were never taught. In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf explains why solitude isn't a luxury or a wellness trend — it's a neurological requirement your brain depends on to function. Drawing on neuroscience, she breaks down what happens when you fill every quiet moment with podcasts, notifications, and noise, and what you're actually losing when you do. You'll learn the difference between chosen solitude and forced isolation, how the brain's default mode network drives creativity, memory, and emotional regulation — and why shutting it down constantly has real cognitive consequences. You'll also get a simple 15-minute practice to start rebuilding the capacity right now. If you struggle to be alone with yourself — or you've never thought about it — this episode will change how you think about silence.

Tracking apps promise peace of mind — but the neuroscience tells a different story. About half of U.S. parents now use location-tracking apps like Life360, Find My, and Google Family Link to monitor their kids. A 2024 study found that frequent checking correlates with lower self-esteem in teens and higher parental hostility into the college years. The safety you're buying may be costing you more than you know. In this episode, neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf breaks down the hidden neuroscience of family surveillance: why every "just checking" reinforces hypervigilance, how tracking apps hijack the same reward circuits as slot machines, and how to rebuild trust without abandoning safety. You'll learn why your brain reads constant location monitoring as a low-level emergency, how "I just want to know they're safe" gradually trains your nervous system to equate vigilance with love — and why that erodes trust in both directions. Dr. Leaf unpacks the four myths that make surveillance feel like care, and walks through her 5-step Trust Neurocycle: a practical tool to break the checking loop and move from monitoring to mentorship.

Today I'm joined by my dear friend from high school, Deja Riley! Watching her career evolve from a professional dancer into a powerful voice in the fitness and wellness space has been so motivating. Deja shares how her time in the entertainment industry shaped her perspective on movement, which is why she now helps people connect to movement in a way that feels joyful and accessible. In this episode, you'll learn: • About Deja's transition from dance the fitness industry • The mindset shift from performance-based success to what just feels good • Practical ways to make fitness feel approachable, flexible, and enjoyable. Deja reminds us that movement doesn't have to look a certain way to be meaningful and bring more joy to our lives. PARING DOWN (SHANNON LEYKO): Sign up for my newsletter! The L.E.S.S.

What began as a Tinder romance filled with business success, engagement plans, and dreams of a future together slowly spiraled into jealousy, manipulation, and mounting red flags she tried desperately to explain away.

It's another solo with Sarah and Tez and they're wading through the woo-woo as they do do. Teresa shares a parenting a-ha around nighttime musical beds; the pull to sleep close to the people you love versus the expectation everyone should be in their own beds by a certain age. She opens up about how she's pivoted, and the peace that's come with it. Plus we celebrate Sarah nurturing her love of fashion through her collab with Oso and Me. (Go check out the gorgeousness for yourselves!) We reflect on last week's convo with Sarah Baldwin (profound stuff!!), and how it's sparked a deeper dive into childhood memories, inner child work, and parts work. Sarah talks about working with fan fave Christina Prokos to access early memories and gently reshape them, releasing the hold they carry, while we explore the blurry line between what's real and what's remembered. Plus we chat Sarah's nervous system resets with the kids at night and her wildly accurate intuitive hits… is it medical intuition? Or her clairaudience deepening? Sarah's witchy ways are heating up! Pssst, we told you we were going deeper this year, Dazeys!

In this Good Stuff episode of the Paring Down podcast, I want to share about the flip side of joy—as in, what's getting in the way? So I decided to put together a list of 10 things that are stealing your joy and offers practical, research-backed ways to subtract them from your life. You'll learn: • What "personality trait" isn't one that you have to accept...you can free yourself from its trap! • How to avoid feeling low on time to get everything done • All about "attention residue" • The difference between problem solving and rumination ...and so much more! You can work on removing one thing at a time, and notice how much more room there is for joy when you stop letting these sneaky distractions and habits get in the way.

What a treat today! Acclaimed engineering professor and author Leidy Klotz joins me on Paring Down to explore how our environments shape our lives more than we realize. From decluttering to designing meaningful spaces, this conversation will change how you see both your home and your habits. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why we instinctively add instead of subtract (and how to train your brain to notice better solutions) • How your environment is connected to “Self-Determination Theory," plus simple ways to design spaces that help you thrive • Why nostalgia can't be bought, how overconsumption disrupts it, and how to intentionally create meaningful memories in your spaces This conversation is not only enlightening, but is deeply touching. I know it will change the way you see the world around you.

In this deeply unsettling two-part story, Abby shares how growing up in the rigid, high-control world of IBLP shaped her understanding of love, obedience, and self-worth, and ultimately set the stage for a relationship she didn't have the tools to question. From a childhood defined by isolation, fear, and forced compliance, to a young adulthood marked by loneliness, manipulation, and a desperate search for safety, Abby's story reveals how early indoctrination can blur the line between devotion and control. As she begins to break free from her upbringing she meets a man who seems to offer everything she's been missing. But as their whirlwind relationship accelerates into engagement and marriage, subtle red flags begin to surface, leaving listeners to wonder: is this finally love, or just another version of the control she's always known? This is Part 1 of Abby's story—and trust us, it only gets more complicated from here. Click here to join our Patreon!
