Would you walk into a 7-Eleven and flip a gold coin for a Slurpee?Tricia is living for a new Texas law that recognizes gold and silver coins as legal tender. It feels like the Old West walked into the studio. JB wants to bring back pelts, cinnamon, silk scarves, and frankincense, and the whole bit turns into a spice-wars farmers-market fantasy about haggling for snacks instead of tapping a card.Care or Don't Care hits an Idaho dinosaur track with Austin connections, city frogs rewriting their mating calls so the ladies can hear them over traffic, office sabotage theories, and Dick Van Dyke still working out at one hundred. Tomorrow they try again to give away ten Tim McGraw tickets, with social answers and an early-morning tip on question five. The wrap revisits the morning's overachiever callers and the sad day JB realizes he can no longer armpit fart.Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with someone who still keeps change in a little baggy.

What if being lazy could actually make you more successful and more fulfilled? This episode will challenge everything you think you know about productivity, rest, and what it means to achieve.   Janet Taylor, your Life Organizer, welcomes back Naketa Ren Thigpen — balance and relationship advisor, host of the Lazy Overachiever Show, co-founder of ThigPro's Balance and Relationship Management Institute, and the woman known as the Love Doctor. With nearly 30 years of transforming lives through emotional alignment and intentional self-care, Naketa helps high-performing leaders release limiting patterns and build lives of genuine fulfillment — from the bedroom to the boardroom.   In this conversation you will learn:   What the Lazy Overachiever actually means — and why it is not a contradiction but a powerful reclaiming of who you are.   How overachieving starts in your DNA — and when it becomes a problem driven by the need to prove yourself to people, and even people who are no longer here.   The difference between pretend productivity and strategic rest — and why Naketa's Selfish Saturdays and Soul Sundays changed everything.   The T over B formula for work-life balance — admit your Truth and create the Boundaries that help you live that truth as your reality.   Why your boundaries should feel expansive not suffocating — and how to set them so the people around you actually respect them.   How to trust your inner brilliance and stop overextending for things that do not align with where you are going.   How Naketa stays organized as a podcaster, author, wife, mother, grandmother, and advisor — writing things down first, filtering them into a calendar, and setting layered reminders for things that truly matter.   Taylor's Tip Time: Five steps to declutter your brain — do a brain dump on a blank page, categorize everything that comes out, schedule time for each task in the coming week, schedule at least one self-care moment, and repeat the process weekly.   TossItTuesday: Dispose of expired medications, syrups, and cold and flu items. Emergency preparedness month is the perfect time to make sure everything in your medicine cabinet is up to date.   Resource Roundup: Hooks — hang your keys, ID, cap, and daily essentials so you can find things the first time you look. Book suggestion: Janet's ebook Prepared and Organized — seven areas to tackle during challenging times, from your paperwork to your pantry and everything in between.   Quote of the week: "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes — including you."   Clear the Clutter.

You're successful, independent and capable. You've built a life you're proud of and you're used to getting things done.So why can love still feel so difficult?In this episode of Healing With Teeling, I'm breaking down the final Love-Blocking Archetype in this series: The Overachiever.The Overachiever is often the woman everyone else thinks has it all together. She's ambitious, reliable and strong. She knows how to achieve, solve problems and take care of herself.But underneath that independence can be a subconscious belief that love, approval and worth have to be earned.And when you bring that belief into relationships, you can find yourself over-giving, over-functioning, trying to control the outcome or working far too hard to make a relationship work.In this episode, I cover:• The common signs of the Overachiever Archetype• Why achievement can become connected to your sense of worth• Childhood experiences that can create these subconscious patterns• Why asking for help, resting and receiving can feel uncomfortable• How being fiercely independent can affect intimacy and vulnerability• Why you may find yourself attracted to emotionally unavailable relationships• The difference between healthy independence and keeping people at a distance• How to stop trying to earn love through what you do for other people• Three practical ways to start changing the Overachiever pattern• How to separate who you are from what you achieveYou don't need to become less ambitious, stop being successful or make yourself smaller to find healthy love.The work is learning that your achievements are not evidence of your worth.You are worthy of love when you're achieving, and you're worthy of love when you're doing absolutely nothing.When you stop trying to prove yourself, you can start choosing yourself. And that changes the relationships you choose too.WAYS TO WORK WITH ME✨ One-to-One CoachingPrivate coaching for successful midlife women who are ready to heal after heartbreak or divorce, break unhealthy relationship patterns and create secure, lasting love.Using my five-step BeYou Method, we work on your subconscious beliefs, emotional healing, self-worth, boundaries and relationship choices.This is for the woman who is ready to stop repeating the same patterns, find herself again and build a life and relationship she truly loves.A limited number of private coaching spaces are available.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Yoga Therapy Hour, Amy sits down with Danielle Burke, a certified yoga therapist and licensed professional counselor, to explore what happens when traditional talk therapy meets embodied practice.Danielle shares her journey from mental health counseling into integrative wellness, where she now blends yoga therapy, somatic awareness, and lived experience to support clients in reconnecting with themselves. Together, they explore what it means to feel “stuck in your story,” how breath and body awareness interrupt that pattern, and why self-awareness is not just insight—but a skill that must be practiced.This conversation offers a steady and honest look at anxiety, burnout, overgiving, and the quiet work of learning to trust yourself again. Through the lens of the yamas and niyamas, Danielle brings forward a practical framework for navigating uncertainty, building inner stability, and reducing unnecessary suffering.Key Themes Explored1. When Talk Therapy Isn't EnoughDanielle reflects on her work as a licensed counselor and the moment she recognized something was missing—clients could process their experiences cognitively, but often remained disconnected from their bodies. Yoga therapy offered a way to integrate both.2. The Body as the Entry PointClients often arrive stuck in patterns of thinking, or unable to access their thoughts at all due to overwhelm. Danielle highlights a simple but profound observation: many people stop breathing when recounting difficult experiences. Reconnecting to breath becomes the doorway back to regulation and presence. 3. Self-Awareness as a Practice, Not a TraitAwareness is not assumed—it is cultivated. Through consistent practice, clients begin to recognize their internal states, expand their capacity for choice, and shift from automatic reaction toward intentional response.4. Working with Anxiety Without Trying to Eliminate ItRather than attempting to “fix” anxiety, Danielle reframes the work:Can you recognize it?Can you stay with it?Can you also notice what else is present?This introduces the possibility of holding multiple truths at once, rather than being defined by a single state.5. The Yamas and Niyamas as a Regulatory FrameworkEthical principles such as ahiṃsā (non-harming/kindness) and svādhyāya (self-study) become practical tools for daily living. They support clients in discerning how they want to show up—for themselves and in relationship with others.6. Caregivers, Overachievers, and the Cost of Self-AbandonmentDanielle's primary clients are often women who have spent years supporting others while losing connection to their own needs. The work becomes one of reclaiming worth, voice, and internal alignment.7. Letting Go of Control (Īśvara Praṇidhāna in Practice)Through simple, real-life moments—like dogs barking during a podcast—Danielle illustrates how acceptance reduces suffering. The shift is subtle but powerful:From “this shouldn't be happening” → to “this is happening, and I can still be here.”8. Change Requires Doing Something DifferentInsight alone is not enough. Sustainable change comes through practice, patience, and a willingness to step outside familiar patterns—even when those patterns are uncomfortable.What a Session with Danielle Looks LikeSessions are adaptive and client-centered, typically including:Reflective conversation and active listeningGentle inquiry and pattern recognitionBreath awareness and regulation practicesMovement or physical practice (when appropriate)Yoga Nidra or guided meditationPersonalized tools such as journaling prompts or recorded practicesThe process remains grounded in yoga philosophy while accessible to clients regardless of their familiarity with yoga.Notable Reflections“Awareness gives us choice. And choice gives us power.” “The only way to change is to do something different.” “We can hold more than one experience at the same time.” About Danielle BurkeDanielle Burke is a certified yoga therapist and licensed professional counselor with over a decade of experience in mental health. She now works through an integrative wellness model, combining yoga therapy, somatic practices, and psychological insight to support clients in reconnecting with their bodies, their values, and their sense of self.Based in interior Alaska, Danielle works with clients both in person and online.Connect with Danielle BurkeWebsite: www.inlightandlovewellness.comInstagram: @inlightandloveytLinkedIn: Danielle BurkeClosing ReflectionThis conversation invites a steady reconsideration of how we relate to ourselves. Not through force or perfection, but through awareness, practice, and a willingness to meet what is here—one moment at a time.

There's a particular kind of tightness that creeps in when the world feels unpredictable. We tidy the to-do list, tighten the routine, optimise one more thing, all in an attempt to feel a bit more in control. Oliver Burkeman has a word for this: clenching. And he reckons it's squeezing the life out of us, even when it looks a lot like productivity. In this episode, I sit down with Oliver Burkeman, New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mortals, and former writer of The Guardian's This Column Will Change Your Life, to talk about his forthcoming book Aliveness and what he calls unclenching, learning to loosen your grip on certainty rather than white-knuckle your way through it. We get into flexible goals, why urgency is so often someone else's agenda in disguise, and how to stop tying your self-worth to your latest achievement. If you have ever hit a goal and felt the satisfaction evaporate within minutes, this conversation will change how you think about ambition altogether. Oliver and I discuss: What "clenching" is, and why our instinct to grip tighter in uncertain times actually backfires The insecure overachiever trap, and why hitting a goal rarely feels like enough for long How Oliver's open list, closed list approach stops you drowning in fifty half-started things Setting a "no later than" time instead of a strict start time, and why looser goals often get more done Why urgency is so often someone else's agenda in disguise, and how to tell when it is genuinely yours What Oliver actually does with the emails he has not gotten to yet Key quotes "If you have this feeling of aliveness, even the most difficult challenges are copeable with, and if you don't have this feeling of aliveness, even the most impressive accomplishments are kind of worthless." "You will do enough, because you will do everything that it's within your capacities and your energy levels and your talents to do, and that just by definition will be all that you could ever have done."

We're wrapping up the six-part summer series with the mindset pattern I see most often in the smartest women I work with: wanting to feel completely certain and in control before you take action. It sounds responsible. It even feels productive. But if you've ever spun through every "what if" scenario, you already know what this really is: a time machine that takes you out of the only moment you can actually control, which is right now. In this final bite-sized episode, I'm sharing the exact process I use to get myself out of the loop.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/229 Loving the series?

Episode 454 |Real Talk: When Teaching Is the Easy Part Podcast Description Some episodes are planned. This one is real life. In Episode 454, Duane and Allie jump on the mic without a neat, tidy agenda and talk through what's actually happening in their schools right now. The theme that keeps showing up? Teaching martial arts isn't the hardest part anymore. The hard part is everything wrapped around it: keeping students (and parents) connected, navigating the emotional whiplash when people quit, building a staff bench that doesn't collapse when one person leaves, and figuring out which systems are truly worth the effort. If you've ever thought, “Man… I love teaching, but I'm tired,” you're going to feel seen in this one. Key Takeaways Connection is the real retention strategy. Duane and Allie keep coming back to the same idea: students don't stay because the curriculum is perfect. They stay because they feel connected. That connection has layers: Instructor → student Parent → child Parent → school culture Student → training partners When those links are strong, students push through the “lull” that happens in everyone's training. When those links are weak, quitting becomes easy. School owners carry a unique kind of emotional load. Allie shares the frustration that hits a lot of owners hard: you pour extra time into the students who need it most… and then they disappear. Not only do they quit, but sometimes they quit casually. No conversation. No closure. Just gone. That's part of why this episode matters. It's not negative. It's honest. And it reminds you you're not the only one dealing with it. Parents are more distracted, and kids have less “boredom muscle” Duane and Allie talk about how different the environment is now: more activities competing for attention more screens less tolerance for discomfort more demand for entertainment The result is that many kids (and parents) struggle with the slow, steady work that martial arts requires. And that changes how school owners have to communicate value. The “edutainment” trap is real. Allie calls out the pressure to entertain. Yes, training should be fun. However, if the program becomes only entertainment, you train people to quit the moment it stops feeling exciting. Duane offers a practical way to think about it: as students progress, the “fun” needs to shift from games to the training itself. Bench strength has to be built on purpose (and it can't stop). Staffing and instructor development come up again and again. Allie talks about the reality of losing key team members and suddenly being handcuffed to the school again. Duane shares how they've built a pipeline (Storm Team) where students learn to teach in phases, with clear criteria for what they're allowed to coach at each level. The big lesson: you don't build a bench when you're desperate. You build it continuously. Motivation isn't always about adding more… sometimes it's about labeling better. They get into a great point about systems like “Perfect Attendance.” Allie questions whether the effort is worth it if only a small percentage of students care. Duane's counter is interesting: maybe the system is fine, but the label isn't emotionally compelling. “Perfect Attendance” feels flat. A rebrand like “Overachiever” or “Committed” might create a stronger identity pull. Fear of loss can be a stronger motivator than anticipation of gain. Duane shares a story from his kids program: he gives students their fitness stripe first and tells them they only keep it if they don't quit during a hard class. The result? Kids worked harder than ever. It's a reminder that motivation isn't always about dangling a reward. Sometimes it's about protecting something they already feel ownership over. Running the business is a different skill than teaching the art. They use a coffee shop analogy to make the point: most businesses deliver a simple product. Martial arts schools deliver a long-term transformation. That means you're managing: curriculum culture retention staff development parent communication upgrades and renewals events motivation systems Teaching is only one slice of the job. Action Steps for School Owners Strengthen one “connection point” this week. Pick one simple upgrade you can implement immediately: Have instructors use every student's name more often Assign a buddy to every new student on day one Do a quick parent touchpoint after class (“Here's what they did well today…”) Choose one and do it consistently for 7 days. Build (or restart) your instructor pipeline. If you don't have a leadership/instructor development track, start one. If you do have one, ask yourself: has it stalled? Your goal is simple: create a clear path where students can help teach in phases, earn responsibility, and feel like they're “in the running.” Audit your systems: what's not serving you anymore? Make a list of the systems you run every month. Then ask: Does this actually improve retention, attendance, or culture? Is the effort worth the payoff? Could this be simplified? Does it need a rebrand so it feels emotionally meaningful? Expect the lull—and coach families through it. A lull isn't a failure. It's part of the process. Build language into your culture that normalizes it: “Everyone hits a plateau. That's where growth happens.” “We don't quit on hard weeks.” “The goal is progress, not constant excitement.” When families expect the lull, they're less likely to bail when it shows up. Simplify before you add more. If you're overwhelmed, don't stack another system on top. Instead, remove one thing that's draining energy and not producing results. Then put that energy into what matters most: connection, consistency, and your bench.

Keren Eldad (Coach Keren), Executive Coach to elite performers, Bestselling Author of GILDED, and Host of COACHED Keren Eldad is not just an executive coach—she is someone who climbed the highest rungs of ambition, lost everything she thought mattered, and rebuilt a life that finally felt like her own. Before becoming one of the most recognized voices in high-performance transformation, Keren was a picture of outward success—married, living in Zurich, running a career that sparkled on paper. From the outside, she had "made it."   Socials:   Website: https://kereneldad.com/ Instagram: @coachkeren   Episode Summary:   Keren Eldad returns to Heartbeat for Hire as a repeat guest to dive deep into what happens after the breakthrough. While doing the personal work is essential, the real challenge is sustaining who you become and not slipping back into old patterns. Keren explores the concept of "identity dissolution"—breaking free from the patterns and identities that have defined you throughout your life. She reveals why success is actually harder to survive than failure, why insight alone isn't enough without identity-level change, and why high performers unconsciously rebuild their own cages even after doing transformational work. This episode is for anyone who's had breakthroughs but struggled to make them stick.   Key Takeaways:   - Breaking free requires resolving underlying patterns - Success is harder to survive than failure - Insight without identity integration is just borrowed confidence - Overachievers are addicts - High performers rebuild their cages - Find your reference group   Episode Chapters:   00:00 Introduction: The Three Things You'll Learn Today 00:55 Welcome to Heartbeat for Hire & Keren's Credentials 01:28 The Real Assignment: Sustaining Who You Become 02:00 Keren's Background: Corporate Overachiever to Coach 04:45 What It Means to Be an Overachiever 07:15 Overachievers Are Addicts, Not Just High Performers 10:30 Why Success Is Harder to Survive Than Failure 14:00 The Possum on Your Chest: Suffocation & Misalignment 16:45 Keren's Reckoning: Divorce, Grief, and Awakening 19:20 Building an Overachiever's Recovery Guide 21:30 Insight Without Identity Integration Is Just Borrowed Confidence 23:45 The Choice We're Making: Saving Our Own Lives 24:45 What's Next: Book Tour, VIP Day in Austin, Turning 50 25:30 Life Transition: Kids Graduating & New Chapters 26:00 Where to Find Keren & Resources 27:00 Closing & Call to Action

Hayley Winterberg grew up in a family dynamic that afforded her a 'perfect ACEs score', as she shares tongue-in-cheek. It's this sense of humor that helped Hayley tap into her resilience, and eventually, helped her press into post-traumatic growth. But Hayley also points to protective factors in her childhood, too - a grandfather that took her to church every week, a father that encouraged her to get a solid education, opportunities to get involved in projects that focus on equity and meaningful change. Hayley learned young that people can harm; she also learned young that people can be pretty amazing. Hayley also learned how to overachieve - a trauma response that has its superpowers and its pitfalls. On the positive side, Hayley's achiever helped her earn two Master's degrees, buy a home as a single mom, build a career that's included healthcare system transformation, policy development, public advocacy, and today, the role of Chief Housing Officer at HOM. On the less positive side, Hayley has had to learn to observe patterns and behaviors that expose her tendency toward workaholism. She shares her personal and professional journey with candor and lightheartedness. We invite you to listen in.To connect with Hayley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hayleywinterberg/To learn more about HOM: https://www.hominc.com/our-why/

You've written a book, and you're getting close to publishing it. You know launch day matters, and you want the book to make an impact. Don't make this common but costly mistake: skip building a launch team. Authors often assume a few social posts, an email or two, and maybe some goodwill from their network will be enough. But without a launch team in place, there's no group of readers ready to post reviews and boost early visibility. A launch team is not just a nice extra. It is one of the smartest ways to turn your launch into a real business development opportunity. The right team can help wake up your network in a way that leads to sales conversations and referrals. I'm a book launch strategist. I share my launch strategies in my fourth book, “LAUNCH Your Book! An Entrepreneur's Guide to Reviews That Drive Revenue.” I recommend reading it if you want a strategy to drive 50 or more Amazon reviews and build a stronger pipeline from your book to your business. I'm happy to chat. You can find the book, bonus content, and an invitation to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let's meet today's panelists. Anne Bartolucci wrote "Better Sleep for the Overachiever," a practical and science-backed guide that helps high-performing professionals improve their sleep so they can think more clearly, perform at a higher level, and sustain their energy without burning out. David Newman is the author of multiple books, including his latest "Market Eminence: 22 Strategies to Build a Bold Personal Brand, Become a Business Celebrity, and Drive Unstoppable Growth," a high-impact playbook that shows entrepreneurs how to stand out in a crowded marketplace, build authority, and turn their expertise into consistent visibility and revenue. Please join me in welcoming Anne and David.  In this episode, we discuss the following:

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It's Juliette here, and today I'm joined by the scrumptious Nikki St. Paul, coach, speaker, Good Girl Slayer, and founder of The Convicted Woman.In this conversation, we explore what it really means to stop performing, pleasing, perfecting, and waiting for permission.We speak about the subtle ways high-achieving women give their power away, through perfectionism, people-pleasing, comparison, overthinking, and the need to get it right before pressing go.Nikki shares her journey from almost two decades in the pharmaceutical industry into coaching, entrepreneurship, and helping women reclaim their conviction in business and life.This episode is about slaying the good girl.Not by becoming reckless or hardened, but by noticing the patterns that keep you small, moving through fear, and learning to back yourself before the proof arrives.

What Your Body Archetype Reveals About Your Core Wounds, Self-Care Patterns, and Emotional Survival StrategiesIn this powerful episode, JJ shares one of the most eye-opening exercises from her beta Eight-Week Body Reset program—an assessment designed to uncover the hidden archetypes that sabotage self-care, health goals, and personal growth. What participants discovered wasn't simply why they struggle with exercise, nutrition, or consistency. They uncovered the emotional survival strategies running beneath their behaviors.JJ reveals the most common archetypes identified by participants—including the Avoider, Perfectionist, Overachiever, Emotional Eater, and Information Collector—and explains why these patterns are rarely about food, fitness, or willpower. Instead, they're often rooted in fear, abandonment, rejection, shame, and unmet emotional needs.You'll learn why procrastination is often nervous system protection rather than laziness, how perfectionism masks deeper fears of criticism and failure, and why so many people continue gathering information instead of taking action. JJ also connects these archetypes directly to her Core Wound framework, showing how self-care struggles often mirror the ways we unconsciously abandon ourselves.The episode explores four major themes that emerged from the exercise:"If I can't do it perfectly, I won't do it at all."Avoidance as emotional protection.Why self-care feels selfish.The real cost of neglecting yourself isn't weight gain—it's losing freedom, confidence, trust, and opportunities.JJ explains how true transformation isn't about becoming thinner, more disciplined, or more productive. It's about becoming someone who trusts themselves, keeps promises to themselves, feels worthy, and no longer needs survival strategies to feel safe.In This Episode:The five most common body archetypes and what they revealHow fear disguises itself as perfectionism, procrastination, and information gatheringThe connection between self-care and abandonment woundsWhy weight is often a symptom, not the real problemHow emotional avoidance creates anxiety and physical symptomsThe role of feelings, needs, and nervous system regulation in lasting changeWhy accountability is one of the most powerful forms of self-loveAn introduction to the upcoming Metabolic Transformation Studio membershipKey TakeawayYour health habits are not character flaws. They're often emotional protection strategies created to keep you safe. When you identify the wound beneath the behavior and begin meeting your deeper needs, self-care becomes less about willpower and more about self-love.Resources Mentioned:Body Archetype Assessment: jjflizanes.com/archetypeFeelings & Needs ListEight-Week Body ResetRewiring Your Core Wound PatternsMetabolic Transformation Studio https://jjflizanes.com/studio

Overachiever. Perfectionist. The strong one. The one who holds everything together. Most of us wear these labels like personality traits. But what if a lot of them are actually who we have to become? In this episode, I'm taking a closer look at the survival patterns that show up so often in the women I work with and mentor; the ones that started as solutions to real pain and real environments, and somewhere along the way became an identity. This isn't about shame or tearing down what's gotten you this far. It's about getting curious enough to ask: is this a God-given gift, or is this a strategy I no longer need? Also, don't forget!

Josh Berman was an Ivy Leaguer on his way to becoming a professional skier when a catastrophic knee injury derailed his chances of becoming pro. But Josh's passion for skiing was as strong as ever and pre-surgery, Josh strapped up his leg, headed up the mountain and went out and shot for his first Level 1 Production. What was supposed to be a 3-year adventure in filmmaking turned into an award-winning 25+ year career in snow. It's one of those episodes that I had to record, for historical purposes, before I end the Movement.  Freedle Cody asks the Inappropriate Questions.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Rosie Ward, Ph.D., author of Future-Proofing Leadership: Navigating Change and Disruption to Thrive in an Uncertain World. Together, they expose the hidden "stuckness zone"—the widening gap between an increasingly chaotic world and the ancient, self-protective biological hardwiring that causes leaders to freeze, panic, or micromanage when disruption hits. Dr. Ward peels back the corporate mask to share a deeply personal look into her own journey, proving that no one is entirely immune to the subtle internal biases that quietly sabotage our best strategic intentions. If you have ever felt completely overwhelmed by rapid organizational shifts or wondered why your team defaults to a state of defensive paralysis when under pressure, this eye-opening conversation is your ultimate invitation to upgrade your inner operating system. By exploring the core human challenges beneath corporate strategies, this episode maps out a practical blueprint for stepping away from fear-based habits and moving confidently into authentic, resilient execution.

Anne talks about writing engaging books without producing an overwhelming, thesis-like tome. She explains using story-based structures where the reader is the hero, emphasizes saving "sidebar" material for future books, bonuses, or social posts to test ideas, and outlines a healthy role for AI in repurposing and outlining while warning against drafting, losing voice, and copyright issues. Anne Bartolucci, Ph.D., is a writing mentor, USA Today bestselling author, and psychologist. She has over twenty novels and novellas in print under her pen name Cecilia Dominic and two nonfiction books including Better Sleep for the Overachiever as herself. In her company Psych Up Academy, she brings the fun and magic of fiction to the nonfiction writing process to help heart-centered entrepreneurs write world-changing books that readers can't help but learn from, devour, and recommend to their colleagues.

Mario Fraioli has coached hundreds of athletes and written over half a million words about running—and his most important lesson is to do less. He is the founder of The Morning Shakeout, a weekly newsletter read by tens of thousands of runners since 2015, a longtime running coach, and a Masters competitor still toeing the line himself with a 4:09 mile to his name. Two days after the 2026 Boston Marathon, Mario sat down with Dominic to break down what he witnessed, what the sport is getting wrong, and what keeps him coming back every single year.In this conversation, Mario makes the case for his "Go One Less" philosophy and why the athletes most motivated to push are the ones most likely to break—a lesson he learned the hard way through stress fractures and disordered eating. He shares what it was like training alongside some of the best runners in the country and being stunned by how slow their easy days were. And he talks about what curiosity (not ambition) has driven everything he's built, from his first newsletter issue sent to 200 people to the coaching business he never planned to have.Take the pursuit seriously. Don't take yourself too seriously. And just get started.Tap into the Mario Fraioli Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

In Part 2 of this deeply honest conversation, Dr Jodi Richardson continues her chat with Fleur Marks about the hidden cost of overachievement, the importance of rest, and learning to believe: you are enough. Fleur shares how a life-changing health journey forced her to rethink success, self-worth and the constant pressure to keep doing more.

I've been quiet for a year. And in this episode I'm finally telling you why.2025 was supposed to be my year of new beginnings. Instead it became one of the hardest years of my life — health wise, emotionally, and professionally. And the hardest part wasn't the hard season itself. It was what I made it mean about me.In this episode I'm talking about:Why high achievers are the worst at navigating lower seasonsThe hidden cost of being the "perfect child" — and what happens to your identity when life forces you to stop performingWhy the damage isn't the winter season itself, but the story we tell ourselves while we're in itThe shift that changes everything — from worthiness based on output, to worthiness as a baselineThis one is personal. And I think if you've ever felt like a lower season was proof that you were never as capable as people thought — this episode is for you.

We've all been there, doing the work, staying consistent, and still feeling like nothing is moving. In this episode, we're calling it what it is: the crisis of confidence. It's one of the most common reasons weight loss stalls, and one of the most painful lessons learned on the journey to losing 60+ pounds and keeping it off for good.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/215 Enter the Podcast Giveaway: https://burnstressloseweight.com/celebrate  Get The Body Reset Mini Course: https://burnstressloseweight.com/bodyreset Take the Stress Quiz: https://burnstressloseweight.com/stress
