There is now no condemnation...but if we're honest, sometimes condemnation feels effective.In this episode, John Ortberg explores what Dallas Willard called the law of reciprocal condemnation — the almost unbreakable cycle where judgment breeds counter-judgment, attack breeds counter-attack, and anger multiplies itself.It's extremely rare, Willard observed, that anyone who is condemned responds by changing in the desired way.Instead, condemnation produces:- Counter-condemnation- Passive aggression- Perfectionism- Procrastination- Rebellion- Or quiet relational deathJesus warned about this in the Sermon on the Mount:“As you judge, so you will be judged.”Not as a threat from God — but as an observation about how relationships work.So how do we break the cycle?Paul gives a shocking alternative in Romans 12:Do not repay evil for evil.Leave room for God's justice.Overcome evil with good.Justice is real.But it is not ours to manage.

Erin's parents didn't put pressure on her to get perfect grades or go to Harvard; they wanted her to use her privilege and beautiful upbringing to make the world a better place. Youngest child syndrome makes you quick. Being the youngest of six, Erin learned to speak very quickly to get her thoughts in at the dinner table, and she was given unsolicited advice her whole childhood (which is why she loves giving advice now). Your siblings' sole job is to keep you grounded. Erin's parents are proud and supportive, but her siblings roast her and beat her down (all in good fun) to keep her as humble as possible. Success is attributed to a sense of humor. Erin gave career advice that was funny, and nobody had ever really seen that before. You don't get that unless you're the slightly bullied youngest of six kids your entire life. Rejection rage is a choice. At a Women in Film networking event, the head of the organization paused Erin's documentary trailer 30 seconds in and said, "You need to be more realistic." Erin went on to get a Pulitzer fellowship and premiered a feature documentary at 23 with international distribution. When you get a rejection, you can either let it beat you down or say, "I'm going to show them." "Tell me about yourself" is the world's worst interview question. It's lazy, not specific, and hard for the interviewee to truncate their entire life into 90 seconds. Use the past-present-future template: 1-2 sentences about your past, 1-2 about your present role, then future (where the interviewer's ears perk up), connecting to why you're applying for this specific role. Specificity is the magic word. When sending cold emails, the chances of getting a good response dramatically increase if you're specific: specific praise, specific question. Instead of "Can I pick your brain over coffee?" say, "I watched your video about X, and when you said Y, it piqued my curiosity." Higher quality questions get higher quality answers. This isn't just for podcasts or job interviews; it's a life skill. Good professional communication is like chess, not checkers. Most people just play checkers (you said this to me, I'm going to say this to you), but chess is thinking 10 steps ahead about what your end goal is and how this person falls along the path to that goal. Don't ask for a raise; ask for an adjustment to your compensation. Your job is transactional (you do work, they pay you). When you accepted your salary, you were doing X, Y, Z. Now you're doing X, Y, Z plus A, B, C. It's no longer an equal partnership, so you need an adjustment. It's not personal, it's just professional. Know your audience and your leverage. Emotional regulation is powerful communication. If we just act impulsively and say what's on our mind all the time, it doesn't actually get you where you want to go. Always keep your desired outcome in mind. It's about checkmate. Don't just react, think about what the end goal is and how this conversation gets you there. Humanize people, don't make them wrong. That egotistical senior VP is probably actually really insecure about where they are in their career and wakes up every morning not knowing what they're doing. Put your ego to the side. Being a great communicator requires taking a break from thinking about yourself and thinking about what the other person's life is like and what their goals are. Align your goals with their goals. Think about how you can create that authentic relationship by figuring out how your goals align with what they're trying to accomplish. Shut up and listen. We do a little bit too much talking when we're trying to negotiate or strategize. It can be very beneficial to embrace the silence and practice active listening. Curiosity is an amazing way to show love. Being genuinely curious about a person makes them like you, and it becomes more natural the more you do it. Compliments have to be genuine and specific. People are way better at sniffing out fake compliments than you realize. If you can't find one thing you truly admire about someone, don't say anything. Don't make it transactional. When people ask, "How do I not make it feel like I'm using them?" Erin says, "Well, don't use them. Just be genuine." The most loving thing you can do is respect people's time. Meeting bloat has gotten really bad since the pandemic, and a lot of time is disrespected in meetings across the world. Maybe don't have the meeting. A lot of meetings are completely unnecessary, or at least the way they're set up, the people invited, or the way they're run are really inefficient. Only invite crucial people. Make sure that only the people who absolutely need to be there are invited to the meeting. Always have an agenda. At the beginning of every meeting, say "Here are the three things we're going to cover today, and here's the goal of this meeting." Put it in the calendar link with bullet points. Don't have brainstorming meetings. Have meetings with very tangible goals at the end, state them up front, and make sure that goal has been achieved by the end. Email subject lines are underutilized. Erin's dad's company would put tags like "request," "informational," or "command" on subject lines so you knew exactly what type of email it was and what was expected. The exercise of making a five-year plan changes your brain. Erin doesn't believe in sticking to a five-year plan, but the exercise of thinking about the future creates new neural pathways that change the way you think about yourself and your life. A happy life is an intentional life. The vast majority of people float through life and act very reactionary. Sitting down and thinking about what you actually want in five years is powerful self-care. Sit down with your partner and do this together. Before you get married, make five-year plans together. They might look really different (which is revealing) or really similar which doubles down on alignment. Create multiple five-year plans if you're young. If you don't know which path you're going to take, create five different scenarios for yourself and see which one energizes you most. Financial freedom is a goal worth stating. Erin wants to be financially free in the next five years, which allows her to pursue mission-driven work on her own terms. You're just another human trying to figure it out. Even though Erin wrote the book on workplace communication, she's still winging it every day just like everybody else. Combat the knowledge curse by staying connected to real people. When you're an expert in something, it's hard to imagine not being an expert. Erin moved back to Maryland suburbs to experience people working normal corporate jobs, DMs with people daily about their experiences, and gets on free calls just to listen. The data in newsletters tells a different story than people's actual experiences, so she stays grounded by hearing real anecdotes from IT workers in North Carolina or nurses in Kentucky. Set goals really high. Erin wants her startup to help 500,000 job seekers in a year, which is ambitious, but she doesn't care if she fails as long as she tries to reach it.

Think about a difficult conversation you need to have this week. Instead of just reacting to what they say, what's your desired outcome? What would "checkmate" look like, and how can you think 10 steps ahead to get there? Who in your life keeps you humble If no one does, how might you be losing perspective on yourself? What would it look like to invite that kind of honest feedback into your life? Erin recommends making a five-year plan, not to stick to it, but because the exercise creates new neural pathways. When's the last time you sat down and intentionally thought about what you want your life to look like in five years? What's stopping you from doing that this week?

Summery: The faithfulness and obedience of Jesus, as the second Adam, is in striking contrast to the action of the first Adam. Jesus based his life here fully on the God's words, thus securing victory for all of us. He made us righteous but also gave us tools how to overcome temptations and carry on that victorious lives with prayer and fasting.
In this episode, Jess sits down with bestselling author Nir Eyal to unpack his newest book, Beyond Belief — and the conversation goes far deeper than productivity hacks or surface-level motivation advice. Nir, the author of Hooked and Indistractable, explains why knowing what to do isn't the problem. We already have more information than ever. The real challenge is understanding why we don't do what we know we should. He breaks down the hidden power of belief — how limiting beliefs quietly sabotage performance, relationships, and even health — and how shifting perspective can unlock persistence, clarity, and focus. What makes this conversation powerful is that it's not theoretical. Jess steps into the hot seat and works through his own internal tension around time, ambition, and self-expectation. It turns into a candid, almost therapeutic exploration of identity, pressure, and what it really means to live up to your potential. If you've ever felt stuck despite knowing exactly what to do next, this one will hit home. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ever make a smart, responsible, even prayerful decision…and still feel guilty afterward? You're not convicted. Not uncertain. Just…heavy. You replay it in your head. Second-guess yourself. Wonder if you let your family down, even when no one said a word. In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™, J.R. pulls back the curtain on what's really happening when guilt hijacks your decisions, especially for high-capacity, faith-driven men who care deeply about their families and leadership. This episode reframes guilt through the lens of human performance science, neuroscience, and Scripture, and challenges the false belief that guilt always equals moral failure or a lack of faith. The truth? Not all guilt is conviction. Some of it is conditioning. In this episode, you'll hear: Why not all guilt is conviction and how some guilt is actually a conditioned response from past experiences How your nervous system can make mistakes, causing you to feel guilty even when you're making wise decisions Why planning, prudence, and professional responsibility don't equal a lack of faith How King David turned past guilt into wisdom instead of paralysis, and what leaders can learn from his response A simple framework to discern conviction vs. conditioning so guilt doesn't hijack your leadership A practical 4-step strategy to help you interpret guilt accurately and act with clarity at home, work, and beyond What you'll walk away with… You'll learn how to: Stop assuming guilt always means you're doing something wrong Recognize when your brain is reacting to old data, not present reality Separate past identity from present responsibility Lead decisively without carrying every decision for days Put guilt on the table instead of letting it run the show KEY QUOTES "Guilt isn't just a moral emotion. It's a threat signal." - J.R. "Guilt shows up faster and louder—not because you're failing, but because you care…you care a lot, ESPECIALLY about your family." - J.R. "Your brain can't tell the difference between something happening again and something that just looks the same. So it reacts like you're making the same mistake, even when you're not." - J.R. "Sometimes your guilt is old data trying to protect you in a new season." - J.R. "Our job as high-capacity leaders isn't to silence guilt. It's to interpret it accurately, then take action." - J.R.

You've felt like a failure for not studying enough — or you've even been hurt by twisted Scripture. In family chaos, the Bible gathers dust while guilt builds. If you're hungry for truth without the baggage, tune in. Faith Womack, YouTube's Bible Nerd, shares her rough, raw origins — from spiritual abuse and miscarriage to building a ministry — and reframes Bible engagement as joyful, everyday discipleship.

If you're looking for a way to improve your fitness, boost your mental health, and reconnect with a deeply human activity — all without going to the gym or pounding your knees on a daily run — then rucking may be the practice you've been looking for.Rucking is simple: throw some weight on your back and start walking. But a little context and a few key tips can make it a safer, more effective, and more satisfying experience. Here to unpack those principles and practicals is Michael Easter, author of Walk With Weight: The Definitive Guide to Rucking. Michael and I first explore the evolutionary and military history of carrying load. We then dive into why rucking is perhaps the most accessible form of training for strength and stamina, and such an effective tool for alleviating back pain, building bone health, and fostering fat loss. We get into using a backpack versus a weighted vest, how much weight you should carry, and how you can get started today with stuff you've probably already got lying around.Resources Related to the PodcastMichael's previous appearances on the AoM podcast: Episode #708: Overcome the Comfort CrisisEpisode #930: Break Your Bad Habits by Escaping the Scarcity LoopThe Comfort Crisis by Michael EasterAoM Article: Cardio for the Man Who Hates Cardio — The Benefits of RuckingAoM podcast interview with the founder of GoRuckAoM Podcast #682: Get RuckingAoM Article: Don't Just Lift Heavy, Carry HeavyAoM Article: How to Take Care of Feet on a Hike or RuckAoM Article: One Weird Trick for Busting Through a Weight-Loss PlateauAoM Article: The Benefits of Hanging for Strength and MobilityAoM Article: Lessons From the Roman Art of WarGoRuckConnect with Michael EasterMichael's Substack: Two PercentSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
I have been looking forward to this conversation for a while, and it did not disappoint. In this episode, I sit down with Ashleigh Di Lello: brain coach, keynote speaker, former Broadway and TV dancer, and creator of Bio Emotional Healing®. Ashleigh shares the full story of being given a terminal diagnosis at thirteen years old, visualizing her way back to dance over six years, and later facing a second devastating health crisis that left her unable to walk and living in chronic nerve pain. Through it all, she discovered the neuroscience behind how belief, expectation, and emotional healing can literally rewire the brain and body. We go deep on how the brain resists change (even positive change), why healing can feel unsafe, the difference between believing something and acting in expectation of it, and why your identity might be the very thing keeping you stuck. I also share a piece of my own story in this one: my experience with breast implant illness and the rock bottom moment that led me to the work I do today. Whether you're navigating trauma, chronic pain, self-sabotage, or you just feel like you can't break through to the next level, this episode will change how you think about what's possible. I truly believe this might be one of the most powerful conversations we've ever had on the show.

On anti-racism, communism, and philosophy. Alex Gourevitch talks to political philosopher Paul Gomberg about his original and deep Marxist arguments for what makes racism wrong, why racism cannot be eradicated without overcoming capitalism, and the limits of many contemporary anti-racist arguments. What does it mean to "alienate" race? What is the harm in racism? How does it harm everyone, not just its obvious victims? Why does Gomberg argue that can racism cannot be overcome in capitalist society? Has official racism been replaced by official anti-racism in the neoliberal era? What does it mean to understand anti-racism as communism? How did Gomberg's communist militancy impact his philosophy?

In 2020, Dr. Judith Joseph noticed that despite her success as a psychiatrist and researcher, she was overwhelmed and exhausted, yet dissatisfied and restless; she often teetered between feeling fatigued and a relentless drive to keep busy. She noticed a similar phenomenon among many of her therapy patients: The go-getters, the high achievers, and super-reliable types in her practice were at best feeling "meh" in their day-to-day lives. This inspired Joseph's research around what she now refers to as high-functioning depression — something that may cause people to feel anhedonia, or a lack of joy, pleasure, and interest in things they once enjoyed.

Today, Eric references a viral video of a lone dancer at a music festival to illustrate the foundations of leadership. He explains that starting a movement requires the courage to look foolish before others decide to join in. The speaker highlights the "second follower" as the pivotal force that transforms an individual's audacity into a collective culture. He challenges his audience of contractors to embrace discomfort and set high professional standards even when they feel isolated. Ultimately, the discussion serves as a call to action for leaders to initiate momentum through consistent, visible behavior rather than waiting for external approval. Key Takeaways: Embrace the courage to "dance alone" by being the first to set high standards and implement changes, even if it means initially looking foolish to others. Recognize that a true movement begins when you inspire the second person to join you, as their participation validates the vision and encourages the rest of the crowd to follow. Lead through visible actions and consistent behaviors rather than just instructions, because people are more likely to emulate what they see you doing. Overcome the fear of judgment and the hesitation to look stupid, as being willing to feel uncomfortable is a requirement for reaching the next level of personal and professional growth. Set significantly larger goals than you think are possible to shift your perspective and ensure that even your "misses" result in higher achievements than your original targets.

“Imposter syndrome isn't the truth. It's fear wearing a disguise.”In today's episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, let me speak directly to midlife women who are navigating change, identity shifts, and seasons of self-doubt. I dive into a challenge experienced by nearly 70% of people: imposter syndrome - that persistent feeling that your success isn't deserved or that you'll be “found out.”I explain how our brains resist change and why transitions in midlife can trigger insecurity, perfectionism, and feelings of unworthiness, especially for high-achieving women stepping into new roles or redefining their purpose after 40 or 50.In this conversation, I share:Why imposter syndrome often affects successful womenHow perfectionism and low self-esteem fuel feelings of inadequacyThe link between midlife transitions, menopause, identity shifts, and confidence5 powerful affirmations to reprogram negative self-talk7 practical strategies to overcome self-doubt and reclaim self-worthHow to separate feelings from facts and challenge limiting beliefsWhy wisdom, resilience, and confidence deepen in midlifeI encourage you to embrace your evolving identity, honor the life experience you've gained, and recognize that your skills, wisdom, and purpose remain powerful in every new season.Midlife is not a decline; it is a transformation filled with clarity, courage, and renewed purpose.If you are navigating change, rediscovering your voice, or learning to silence self-doubt, this episode will help you trust your journey and live bravely in midlife.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro2:27 - What is imposter syndrome?3:28 - 5 affirmations you need in midlife5:19 - The meaning behind feeling like a “fraud”6:42 - Who experiences imposter syndrome the most9:10 - How imposter syndrome manifests11:08 - The psychology behind imposter syndrome13:11 - How aging, menopause, and life transitions can trigger self-doubt15:18 - 7 ways to overcome imposter syndrome22:13 - How to take actionQuotations:“Change is certain, but the brain resists it.

Overcome!Pastor Mike teaches from 1st John 5
Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.
I've been talking about a book I've been writing and I'm here to tell you all the juicy details and that you can preorder it now! In the end, I realized the world didn't need a book on how to organize your home because you have no resources to complete the tasks. Escaping Quicksand will arm you with the tools to get your home organized and move to productivity! Thought Process and Creation This is my sixth book. I don't tell you that to brag. I tell you that to share that I have published each book in different ways. Not sure if you have written a book but I always like to share my journey and thought process in case it's something you have been thinking about doing too. I really struggled with feeling "set" on the book theme. I wrote two other versions of "the book" I thought I was going to publish. But one morning about 5am, it came to me. The first chapter was written in about an hour and it felt right. I finally nailed down what people needed. I wrote a book on shifting your mindset to accomplish your home organization goals! I shared the first paragraph with my team and they unanimously agreed, yes this is the book people need. I wrote it in two weeks. It was effortless and I felt passionate about what I was sharing. And when do people need it? In June of course. I insisted on having it released on June 23rd. Why? Because that's when our year is "wrapping up." The end of June is when I have our team week. It's when school is wrapping up, we're resetting, and dreaming. And July is a great month to read a new book. This is a thinking book. Secret: When you preorder, chapters will be released early! What's It About You will start reading the first three pre chapters. I started by sharing my quicksand story. I realized when you have hit "rock bottom", it turns out that you just keep going, like no end to the pit. You just keep sinking until the quicksand swallows you! I want to help you before you get too deep in the quicksand. Inevitably, it seems as though we hit 40 and reevaluate life; that come to Jesus conversation we have with ourselves. We've had enough and know there has to be a solution out there somewhere. And what about us? When do we put ourselves on the to do list? So, the next chapter is about self care. How do we care for our whole person? Our education, spiritual care, health, and all the other aspects of a whole person. The third prechapter is the fact that our household is an economic powerhouse. And then we get into the meat of the book explaining Swiss cheese organizing, being a woman of excellence, morning and afternoon routines, letting go of housework expectations, taking "center stage" when doing housework, weekly planning, and from to do lists to productivity! Get the Book and Join the Book Club Who loves a book club? There are already over 1,000 people who have preordered the book and have the opportunity to join the book club. You can preorder the book through the Organize 365® website or through your favorite book retailer. Then just upload your receipt and you too can join the book club. I am planning on releasing the chapters early each week for 13 weeks. I will release videos and will be posing questions out there for all of us to discuss about the chapters and how it applies to you as a household manager. This will allow you to change your mindset in real time. It's too easy to just keep reading and not take action. This slow release will give you a week to ruminate about what you read and what the community has said.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.
The defense drew blood pretrial. Now the prosecution gets to show the jury what four years of investigation produced — and former prosecutor Eric Faddis says some of this evidence may be unexplainable for the defense.The state's case reportedly begins with Valentine's Day 2022 — an alleged prior poisoning attempt where Kouri Richins is accused of lacing Eric's sandwich with fentanyl. Two friends say he called them saying his wife tried to poison him. A life insurance policy had allegedly gone into effect ten days before. Then came Eric's death months later — more than five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system, allegedly mixed into a Moscow Mule Kouri made him.Carmen Lauber, the housekeeper, is expected to testify that Kouri directly asked her to source fentanyl twice and allegedly requested "the Michael Jackson stuff" after the Valentine's Day incident. Unsealed warrants reportedly show Kouri also asked a handyman to procure fentanyl and propofol. Google searches allegedly found on her phone include queries about lethal fentanyl doses, luxury prisons, insurance payout timelines, and deleting digital records.Prosecutors also have a letter allegedly found in her jail cell coaching family on testimony, an orange notebook with her account of the day Eric died that allegedly contradicts other evidence, and a handwriting expert prepared to testify that insurance document signatures were forged. Faddis breaks down how the prosecution ties all of it together — and whether the defense has any answer.#KouriRichins #RichinsTrial #EricRichins #FentanylMurder #CarmenLauber #ProsecutionCase #TrueCrimeToday #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if everything you believe about money, love, worthiness, and safety was installed in you before you ever had a say in the matter? Josh Trent, host of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast and identity transformation architect, sits down with Alec Zeck for one of the most raw and real conversations he's ever had. Josh opens up about hitting rock bottom in 2014... $80,000 in debt, freshly fired, putting his mom in a mental home, and stuffing everything he owned into a duffel bag. That moment became the launchpad for over a decade of deep inner work. Josh also gets honest about his journey through pornography addiction, his experiences with plant medicine (including a brutal Ayahuasca ceremony where he screamed in a room full of strangers), and why he believes emotional epigenetics means we're not just healing for ourselves but for seven generations forward and back. This conversation covers what it actually looks like to dismantle an identity built on pain, why safety is a paradox, and how the bridge between knowing and doing is the real final frontier of human growth. In this episode, Josh Trent uncovers: (06:30) Breaking down the old identity: the tools and practices Josh used for transformation (19:02) Is plant medicine a necessity when it comes to transformation? (34:07) Getting to your root beliefs with the BTFA practice: a step-by-step breathwork walkthrough (58:45) Traditional talk therapy vs somatic approaches (01:11:23) Understanding addiction as disconnection and the trap of trading one addiction for another (01:27:05) Facing your biggest fear in real-time: how Alec nearly shut down his podcast (01:41:24) Emotional epigenetics and why we unconsciously pass patterns down through generations (01:53:58) The single most powerful practice: emotional inventory Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking ❤️ WAVwatch - Now 15% off with JOSH100

Marshall and Steve discuss how moderates, centrists, and the Abundance movement can navigate the anti-status quo/economic populist moment, why the modern center naturally trends towards milquetoast, aesthetic moderation, instead of boldly picking fights, and how the fights over school reform in the 2000s and 2010s (regardless of one's opinion of charter schools and unions) offer a better model. Plus, Marshall reminds undergraduates in the class of 2026 and later that Niskanen Summer Institute applications are due February 27th.

Your membership directly supports the podcast and the work we do.You're not running your life… your belief system is.Today I'm joined by Josh Trent, an identity transformation architect and the host of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast. For nearly a decade, his work has centered on helping driven, burnt-out achievers unwind the emotional and belief patterns that run their lives.Identity under pressure reveals how much of who we are was shaped long before we had a choice, with unconscious beliefs tracing back far beyond our own lived experiences. Nervous system regulation, money stories, and lineage show up as an interconnected web that influences how daily life is experienced and navigated. Addiction and self-abandonment surface as signals of deeper disconnection. Responsibility for the inner world becomes less about fixing what's wrong and more about seeing what's beneath the surface.This episode speaks to anyone sensing that forward movement isn't about more tactics, but by understanding the forces shaping personal choices, accumulated stress, and the kind of freedom that feels earned rather than chased.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[06:30] Breaking down the old identity: the practices Josh used for transformation[19:02] Is plant medicine a necessity when it comes to transformation?[34:07] Getting to your root beliefs with the BTFA practice: a breathwork walkthrough[58:45] Traditional talk therapy vs somatic approaches[01:11:23] Understanding addiction as disconnection and the trap of trading one addiction for another[01:27:05] Facing your biggest fear in real-time: how Alec nearly shut down his podcast[01:41:24] Emotional epigenetics and unconsciously passing patterns down through generations[01:53:58] The single most powerful practice: emotional inventoryRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Health Freedom for Humanity with Josh Trent | Spotify or AppleResources Mentioned:The Great Unlearn with Cal Callahan | WebsiteFearful Memories Passed Down to Mouse Descendants by Callaway E. | ArticleSelf Liberation Blueprint + The Liberated Life Tribe Free Community:The Self Liberation Blueprint is a 10-day jumpstart and free tribe access that's perfect for the person who feels stuck, and they don't know why.

We often talk about how the right partner will elevate your best and soothe your worst. But what if you secretly feel like your best isn't good enough . . . or that your worst will be “too much“ for someone? When we carry that fear, we tend to overcorrect. We try to impress. We hide parts of ourselves. We delay vulnerability. And in doing so, we block the very connection we want.In this episode, Matthew shares how to stop looking at yourself through a lens of self-judgment and self-loathing, and instead develop real self-compassion and self-empowerment. You'll learn how to reveal vulnerability in a healthy, attractive way, build core confidence, and create relationships rooted in acceptance rather than fear.If you've ever worried that someone wouldn't love the “real“ you, this episode will change the way you see yourself.---►► Looking for love, clarity, or a fresh perspective? Matthew's weekly newsletter dives into insights that transform not just your relationships, but your entire life. Sign up for free at TheThreeRelationships.com Hosted on Acast.

What If Self-Confidence Isn't the Answer and Self-Trust Is What You've Been Missing? Most people think the opposite of self-doubt is confidence. In this conversation, Dr. Shadé Zahrai completely flips that belief on its head. She is a behavioral researcher, bestselling author of Big Trust, and one of the most insightful minds I've ever sat down with when it comes to understanding why high performers still struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and that constant feeling of not being enough. I'll be honest, her work challenged some of the things I've taught for years, and that's exactly why this episode matters. We dive deep into why waiting to feel confident is keeping so many people stuck and why self-trust always has to come first. Dr. Zahrai breaks down the four core attributes that shape how we experience doubt, including acceptance, agency, autonomy, and emotional adaptability. She explains why doubt isn't something to eliminate, but something to rise above by strengthening who you are underneath it. If you've ever felt like an anxious overachiever who keeps pushing but never quite feels settled, you're going to feel seen in this conversation. One of the most powerful parts of this episode is how expectation bias quietly shapes your reality. Dr. Zahrai shares fascinating research that shows how the scars you believe you're carrying can completely change how you experience conversations, relationships, and opportunities, even when those scars are not real. We also talk about why validation from achievement, praise, or external approval is one of the most dangerous traps high performers fall into and why it leaves so many successful people feeling empty. We also get extremely practical. Dr. Zahrai walks through tools that actually work, including how to stop obsessing over outcomes, how to quiet the inner critical voices that sabotage momentum, and why self-forgetting through service is one of the fastest ways to restore confidence. I also share a technique from her book that has already changed how I deal with worry, and if you're someone who struggles with anxiety or rumination, this alone is worth listening to the episode. This conversation is not surface-level motivation. It's real inner work. If you've ever felt stuck between who you are and who you know you're capable of becoming, this episode will give you a framework to rebuild trust in yourself and move forward with clarity and peace. Key Takeaways Why self-trust always comes before confidence and action The four core attributes that protect you from self-doubt How expectation bias shapes your relationships and results Why obsession with outcomes erodes self-belief A simple daily practice to reduce worry and overthinking How to quiet your inner critic without forcing fake positivity Listen now, and start building the kind of trust in yourself that no setback can take away. Max out.
