I'm back from Podfest, and today, I want to talk about a strategy that gets way more attention than it needs: When to publish your podcast episodes.Recently, while browsing Reddit, I spotted a question about the best time to post — specifically, whether 5:00 pm is a good time. The person wanted to launch a podcast focused on creepy stories and thought evening uploads would create the right mood. However, most advice online suggested otherwise, which led them to ask if evening uploads are uncommon, and whether others have succeeded with that schedule.The Magic of time ShiftingHere's what I've learned over the years: I personally follow at least 30 podcasts, but only two of them matter to me in terms of their schedule, and that's because they're news shows. For those, I want the latest information right away. For everything else, it doesn't matter when the episode drops. Thanks to apps like Pocket Casts, new episodes go to the top of my list, and I listen whenever I want.That's one of the biggest perks of podcasting—it's all about convenience for the listener. Most people aren't refreshing their phone, waiting for your episode to appear. So you don't need to obsess over the perfect release time, unless you have a news show or something that's truly time-sensitive.Going the Extra MileIf you want to do a little extra homework, you could check out podcasts similar to yours. See when they publish, create a spreadsheet to spot days with less competition, and pick a time that works for you. But ultimately, the most important factor is finding a schedule that fits your life and allows you to be consistent.For example, I have one show I catch on Fridays just because that aligns with my grocery shopping routine—but that's rare for most podcasts I listen to. Unless it's a news-based format, when you publish has far less impact than you might think.So my advice: Don't get hung up on the specifics. Pick a time that works for you, stick to it, and focus on delivering great content. Consistency in both schedule and quality matters far more than the exact day or hour you hit publish.Get Your Podcast Questions AnsweredIf you have more questions about podcasting, come join me at schoolofpodcasting.com.

What does it actually take to build a healthcare company from scratch? In this episode of #TheShot, Eugene Borukhovich and Jim Joyce sit down with Daniel Kivatinos, co-founder of DrChrono, to unpack a real founder journey — from growing up in Queens with blue-collar parents to bootstrapping a healthcare startup through the 2008 crash, betting early on the iPad, and building DrChrono over 13+ years before selling in 2021. This is not a “how to get rich quick” story. It's about persistence, timing, relentless shipping, and ignoring most advice. We talked about:

Why does speaking up feel so terrifying even when we know we're right? This week, host Amanda Montell (@amanda_montell) is joined by happiness researcher and psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky (@sonjalyubomirsky) to overthink confrontation: why we avoid it, why we rehearse it endlessly in our heads, and why it so often feels riskier than staying silent. Together, they explore what confrontation does to our nervous systems, how fear of conflict gets tangled up with people pleasing and self worth, and when avoiding hard conversations actually costs us more in the long run. A gentle spiral about courage, communication, and learning to trust yourself enough to say the thing out loud.

Stefan Baumann Podcast - Inspiration and Insights on Art and Painting
Stefan Baumann interviews Jean Carlson on what 1 needs to do to create an inspirational future as an artist and give some tips on how to start creating a life with passion and direction and promote your art and sell sell sell! Jean Carlson is an artist who believes creativity can flourish at any age. Inspired by watching Gene, a fellow artist, start a YouTube channel by simply picking up a camera to share her art,Jean Carlson realized how easy it is to connect with others online and inspire elderly artists to share their creativity. His focus shifted toward encouraging older artists after seeing how digital tools like YouTube and Facebook can unlock new opportunities for expression.Jean Carlson advises artists to start by setting up a YouTube channel, getting a Facebook page running, posting daily, and creating a website to build their presence consistently. To help artists step out of their comfort zones,Jean Carlson encourages them to stop overthinking, grab a camera, and speak honestly about their thoughts and art. One effective marketing approach she recommends is creating short, one-to-five-minute videos that highlight the vibrancy of life and creativity at any age. Storytelling is a key part of Jean Carlson's mission; sharing his journey helps others see that art can open new paths after retirement, leading to new relationships and experiences instead of isolation. she stresses the value of digital communities, such as Zoom groups, to build connections that go beyond local boundaries. For Jean Carlson success isn't just about sales or fame but about the personal transformation and joy that art brings. sheencourages artists to start marketing themselves without fear, using available tools and being authentic. Looking forward, Jean Carlson aims to continue evolving as an artist while inspiring others to embrace creativity later in life. her practical advice for launching an artistic career at any age includes: 1. Start sharing your work online, 2. Post regularly to engage your audience, and 3. Connect with digital communities for support. Jean Carlson s story is a reminder that it's never too late to start creating. Retirement can be a beginning—one full of joy, connection, and new creative adventures.

Welcome to Day 5 of your 7-Day Neurocycle Reset—today's arc is NURTURE. You've practiced Release, Rest, Ground, and Protect. Today we shift into the heart of sustainable change: caring for your mind as you clean up "your mental mess." Inspired by Dr. Caroline Leaf's teachings, this episode uses a 4th chakra (heart chakra) meditation to support emotional regulation, soften self-criticism, and help you reset your emotional state with warmth and steadiness. Nurture isn't avoidance—it's creating inner safety so you can process what you feel without getting stuck in mental loops. In this meditation you'll: Practice heart-centered attention to calm the mind Replace inner pressure with inner support Create space for clarity, compassion, and your next step Leave feeling soothed, grounded, and emotionally reset Best time to listen: after a hard day, after conflict, when you feel tender, or anytime you need comfort without losing momentum. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "7-Day Neuro Reset to Calm Your Nervous System," episodes 3444-3450. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to a brand-new 7-day series on the Daily Meditation Podcast: Neuro Reset—created for that very real moment when the New Year is still here… but your nervous system is already asking for a gentle reboot. Because Week 3 can be a turning point. The excitement of fresh starts fades, your routines get a little wobbly, and your mind starts opening extra tabs: What if I'm behind? What if I can't keep this up? What if I need to start over? If you've felt that, you're not doing anything wrong. It's simply your brain and body recalibrating. This week is designed to help you reset from the inside out—with short, practical meditations that support emotional balance, stress relief, clearer focus, better sleep, and a steadier mood. We'll work with simple tools that calm the nervous system and help you come back to yourself—again and again—without pressure. Each day has an arc and a focus, and today we begin with the arc of Release—releasing mental clutter, tension, and the "I should be doing more" energy… so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more supported moving forward. So settle in. You don't have to force calm. You're simply practicing a reset—one breath at a time. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "The 7-Day Neurocycle Reset Challenge" Every day: 10 minutes (2 minutes breath + 6 minutes guided Neurocycle step + 2 minutes journaling). THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Refresh Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "Clarity and calm begin with each new step." Day 3: Coherent Breathing: Inhale ~5 seconds, exhale ~5 seconds (no holds), for 3–5 minutes. Why: A steady rhythm is one of the simplest ways to "reset the system." Day 4: Gyan Mudra for clarity Day 5: Fourth Chakra for compassion Day 6: Neuro Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure Welcome to this special series: Refresh — a gentle, powerful reset for the start of a brand new year. If you've been craving that clean-slate feeling—not just on your calendar, but inside your mind and in the way you live—this is for you. Because a new year isn't only a date. It's an invitation. To clear what's been cluttering your inner space… to come back to what matters… and to choose how you want to feel as you move forward. Over the next seven episodes, we're going to refresh seven key areas of your life—not with pressure, perfection, or a long list of goals… but with inner clarity. Think of this series like opening the windows of your life and letting fresh air move through every room. Each day, we'll focus on one area—simple, practical, and deeply supportive. You'll be guided through: a short, grounding insight to create perspective a few reflective prompts to clarify what's true for you right now and a calming meditation to help you integrate the shift—so this becomes something you feel, not just something you think about This isn't about fixing yourself. You're not behind. You don't need to become someone else to have a meaningful year. This is about coming home to yourself—and gently updating the way you live, so your days match the person you're becoming. So wherever you are—making coffee, sitting in your car, walking outside, or curled up in a quiet corner—take a breath and let this be your beginning. Welcome to your refresh. Let's start the year with clarity… and create a life that feels clean, aligned, and truly yours. SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Overthinking solutions to a creative or business problem is all to common. We want to consider as many possibilities as we can. But when we can make the challenge appear larger than it is, we become confused and restrained, unable to move forward toward the solutions we seek. Being at times guilty herself of overthinking, and observing how it operates in others, Alvalyn presents a three-part approach to eliminate this tendency so that we can freely move forward and accomplish our objectives.
In this episode, Amanda Montell explores the age of magical overthinking and why our minds keep doubling down. She discusses how cognitive biases and irrational thinking shape our perceptions and behaviors in the information age. Amanda also explains shine theory, zero-sum and sunk cost biases, and the allure of manifestation and conspiracy thinking. Through personal stories and humor, Amanda and Eric discuss how understanding these mental patterns can help us navigate modern life more consciously and compassionately.

If your brain goes from 0 to 100 the second something feels “off” ... if you replay conversations, wait for texts, or feel that frantic “I have to fix this” energy... this episode is for you! In today's podcast I'm walking you through a simple, science‑backed breathing tool you can use right now to slow down an anxious spiral and bring your nervous system back online. This is the tool I personally use when: • I feel the urge to check my phone • My thoughts start racing • My body feels buzzy, panicky, or unsafe • My anxious attachment is running the show Inside this episode, you'll learn: ✨ Why anxiety and anxious attachment thrive on speed ✨ What a “psychological sigh” is and how it calms your nervous system ✨ A step‑by‑step breathing technique to use when you're spiraling ✨ The difference between calming a symptom vs. rewiring the system And I'm also going to be real with you: This tool will slow the spiral, but it won't heal anxious attachment by itself. That happens when you change the system your nervous system is running on. That's exactly what we do inside Healing Girl Gang through reps, structure, and real‑life nervous system retraining, not just mindset hacks. And just know: You are not broken. You are not too much. Your nervous system learned a pattern... and it can learn a new one.
In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I came into the new year fired up because momentum does not magically appear on January first. Momentum is built by the hours you put in before anyone is watching, by the systems you commit to, and by the discipline to do the work even when it feels repetitive. I have spent decades learning this lesson the hard way, and I am more convinced than ever that systems and consistency are what separate real growth from wishful thinking. I talked about why I am so passionate about building plug and play systems for our agents and why I believe they will continue to pay dividends far into the future. After twenty one years in this business, I know without a doubt that I would not have the results I have today without structure, coaching, and a willingness to listen. I was a student before I ever became a leader. I took notes. I respected the process. I valued the people who were ahead of me and I did exactly what they asked, even when it was uncomfortable. One of the hardest truths I shared is that most people will ask for advice but very few will actually apply it. Overthinking, overanalyzing, and looking for shortcuts becomes a way to stay busy without moving forward. Real change usually comes when the pain gets loud enough that excuses stop working. That is when I invested heavily in coaches and mentors, put my money where my mouth was, and followed instructions without trying to negotiate my way out of the work. When my coach told me to record a video every single day, I did it for over three hundred and fifty days straight. Not because it was easy, but because he had the results I wanted. I also addressed something that needs to be said more often. Accessibility does not mean a lack of value. Just because I answer my phone and pour into people does not mean I operate from scarcity or desperation. I know my worth. When someone asks for guidance and then immediately looks for another opinion without applying what was just given, they are not doing research. They are avoiding responsibility. That behavior breaks trust and eventually closes doors. The lesson is simple but not easy. Stop collecting opinions. Stop asking questions you are not ready to act on. Respect the people who have proven results by actually doing what they say. Consistency builds confidence. Confidence builds certainty. And certainty is the foundation of every top producer I know. If you want more in 2026, there is no secret formula waiting to be discovered. There is only work to be done. Appreciate the access you have. Honor the people pouring into you. And most importantly, show up every day and do the work. Reader reflection questions Where in your life are you asking for advice but not fully applying what you are being told Who in your circle has earned your respect through results and how are you honoring that guidance What consistent action are you avoiding because it feels uncomfortable or repetitive Notable quotes Confidence and certainty are the root of a top producer Just because I am accessible does not mean I do not know my value Stop asking questions and just do more of the work Follow A.Z.

What if burnout, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion aren't mindset problems—but system failures?In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Micov Bogdan, a human system architect who challenges everything we've been taught about healing, performance, and personal growth. This conversation moves beyond motivation and mindset hacks and dives into identity-level transformation—where emotional baggage, internal friction, and subconscious sabotage are not managed, but deleted.You'll hear why coping has become a socially acceptable addiction, how high performers unknowingly use productivity as emotional armor, and why calm—not hustle—is the real power move. This episode exposes why traditional self-help often keeps people stuck in cycles of effort without freedom and what it truly takes to rebuild your internal system from the ground up.If you're high-functioning but exhausted… successful but restless… productive yet unfulfilled—this conversation will disrupt you in the best way.This isn't about doing more. It's about finally removing what no longer belongs.
If hitting your protein goals feels overwhelming, confusing, or like one more thing you're failing at- this episode is for you.Protein isn't just a macro. For women over 40, it's a foundational habit that supports fat loss, muscle, energy, blood sugar balance, and confidence in your body.In this episode, I'm breaking down simple, realistic ways to hit protein at every meal- no perfection required, no complicated meal plans, and no “all-or-nothing” thinking.You'll learn:Why starting every meal with protein is a game-changerEasy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack ideas (including vegetarian options)How to build the habit of protein without tracking stress or food guiltWhat to do on busy days when “real meals” feel impossibleHow consistency- not perfection- is what actually drives resultsThis episode is inspired by our 28-Day Protein at Every Meal Challenge inside Inspire Nutrition, where we focus on simple habits, real food, and accountability that fits real life- especially for women navigating busy schedules, changing hormones, and long-term fat loss goals.If you're ready to stop overthinking nutrition and start building habits that actually stick, this episode will give you a clear place to start.
What if healing doesn't start with managing your emotions—but with understanding how your brain responds to fear, grief, and hope? In this episode, Dr. Alison sits down with neurosurgeon, author, and Iraq War veteran Dr. Lee Warren to explore trauma, loss, faith, and the brain's God-given capacity to change. After unimaginable loss, Dr. Warren shares how “self-brain surgery”—learning to notice and interrupt destructive thought patterns—helped him restore hope and agency without bypassing grief. This conversation will help you understand: —Why most of our thoughts are repetitive, negative, and often untrue —How trauma wires automatic thoughts—and how those patterns can change —How faith and neuroscience meet in practical ways —The difference between the mind and the brain, and why that distinction matters for healing This episode offers hope without shortcuts. It honors the reality of suffering while reminding us that our past does not get the final word — not neurologically, not emotionally, and not spiritually.

Today we're gonna talk about some Buddhist hacks for two deeply related and all too common ailments: anxiety and overthinking. Most of us have struggled with one or both of these, and one of the people who has helped Dan the most is Joseph Goldstein. Regular listeners to this podcast will be familiar with Joseph and his very direct, very down-to-earth style, but if you don't know – let us introduce you. He's one of the foremost Buddhist teachers in the west, he's been Dan's teacher for about 15 years, and Dan's recently convinced him to write a book together, using a collection of these little phrases that he's cooked up over the years. Dan's been keeping a list of around a hundred or so tiny, useful phrases – bite-sized wisdom for meditation practice and for daily life. The book won't be out for a few years, but we're conducting a series of interviews with him, each one covering a few phrases, and we'll be releasing those here on the podcast. The first installment of these interviews about Joseph's phrases just came out on Thursday, Jan. 1, and you don't have to listen to that episode for this episode to make sense, but they are useful together. Today, we'll be covering: The practice assessment tapes Whatever works Cowboy Dharma Dead end Is this useful And a quartet about walking meditation: sensations moving through space, walking through space, walking in a dream, walking through the mind Don't worry if those don't make sense right now – stick with us and you'll get a thorough explanation of where those phrases all come from and how they can help.

We're talking about overthinking. That mental spiral where suddenly your brain is narrating your audition like it's doing play-by-play commentary during the Super Bowl. “Here comes the second line — careful, careful — don't mess this up — oof, eyebrow twitch — bad eyebrow! Reset! Reset!” Overthinking is the enemy of presence. The enemy of impulse. The enemy of surprise. It's like having a backseat driver take over your brain while you're trying to actually drive the car. So let me ask you a question: When you're really living a moment — like REALLY living it — do you think about it while you're in it? No! You just live it. You notice the other person. You feel the emotion. You react like a human — not like a student trying to pass a finalexam. That's the shift we're going to make today: from thinking the moment… to owning the moment.

After nearly four years of interviewing experts and hosting a variety show, Dawn is doing something a little radical: she's flipping this podcast on its head. No more guest pressure. No more pretending to have it all figured out. This is the start of something new — something messier, funnier, more honest — and way more Dawn.In this ep, she pulls back the curtain on her decision to ditch the old format, open up her brain for your listening pleasure, and introduce you to her inner nag — Carol — who has plenty of unsolicited comments and zero chill.This isn't a self-help show. It's a self-talk show. If you've ever wondered “Does anyone else think like this?” — yep. Dawn does. And Carol has thoughts about it.
Why does planning feel so overwhelming even when you are doing everything right?I see so many women blaming themselves for lack of discipline or consistency when the real issue is something deeper. When vision is unclear, every decision feels heavy, every task feels urgent, and planning starts to feel like pressure instead of support. That is not a motivation problem. It is a clarity problem.When vision comes first, strategy finally has something solid to stand on. Decisions get cleaner, follow through feels more natural, and momentum stops requiring force.✔️ Overthinking eases when there is a clear internal anchor guiding decisions✔️ Planning becomes supportive instead of draining✔️ Action feels aligned instead of reactiveIf you're tired of forcing execution, overthinking every move, and wondering why nothing feels easeful anymore, this conversation is for you. Vision changes how you decide, what you say yes to, and how you move forward.Subscribe to the Spiral Up Podcast and listen now to start creating momentum without burnout.—

In this episode, our Teacher of the Month Jeff Warren guides you through a meditation practice inspired by Zen and the Diamond Sutra: "Don't Know Mind." Sometimes the need to know—certainty about what's true, what's coming next, or how things "should" be—can create tension, anxiety, and overthinking. The antidote? Letting go of that need, resting in curiosity and openness, and cultivating a mind that dwells nowhere. To get more meditations from Jeff and our other teachers — plus join our weekly live sessions (every Tuesday at 4pm ET) — you can sign up at DanHarris.com.
