Send us a textThis week on the Less Stressed Life, Dr. David Hanscom joins me for his 4th appearance to explain why anxiety isn't psychological—it's physiological—a survival response that we can learn to regulate, not control. We talk about how unprocessed emotions and repetitive thoughts get stored in the body as pain and how tools like expressive writing, calming the body, and softening the ego help break those loops.You'll walk away with a new way to think about anxiety, pain, and healing—one that focuses on awareness, compassion, and creating safety in your body so your mind can follow. It's about rewiring your nervous system, not forcing it.Dr. Hanscom's past episodes: • Ep 71: Roadmap out of Anxiety and Chronic Pain • Ep 72: Anger & Anxiety in the Family • Ep 325: Overwhelm & PainKEY TAKEAWAYS: • Anxiety and anger are body states, not character flaws • Calm the physiology first; thoughts will follow • Expressive writing helps separate from looping thoughts • Awareness and compassion are core to lasting changeFree resource: Try Dr. Hanscom's Expressive Writing Exercise (PDF), a foundational tool from The DOC Journey to help calm the nervous system and release looping thoughts. ABOUT GUEST:David Hanscom, MD is a former complex spine surgeon who left his 32-year Seattle practice to help people heal from chronic physical and emotional pain. After overcoming his own 15-year struggle with anxiety and pain, he developed the Dynamic Healing approach, which focuses on calming the body's threat physiology and rewiring the nervous system for lasting relief.He's the author of Back in Control: A Surgeon's Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain and the upcoming Calm Your Body, Heal Your Mind: Transcend Pain, Anxiety, Anger, and Repetitive Unwanted Thoughts (June 2026).WHERE TO GUEST:Websites: https://backincontrol.com/ and https://thedocjourney.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdavidhanscom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drdavidhanscomYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DrDavidHanscomWHERE TO FIND CHRISTA:Website: https://www.christabiegler.com/Instagram: @anti.inflammatory.nutritionistPodcast Instagram: @lessstressedlifeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lessstressedlifeLeave a review, submit a questions for the podcast or take one of my quizzes here: ****https://www.christabiegler.com/linksSPONSOR:Thank you to our friends at Jigsaw Health for being such an incredible sponsor and partner.

Frustration. Drama. Overwhelm. We think those are just signs of stress—but they're really signals of something much deeper. When your team's negativity becomes your own, when your patience at home wears thin, when your body feels heavy no matter how much you rest… that's not just burnout. That's emotional mismanagement. And here's what most people don't realize: when you don't regulate your emotions, your body becomes the battleground. Your sleep suffers. Your cravings rise. Your energy crashes. Your inflammation spikes. You can track your steps, eat clean, and still feel off—because your emotional health is your physical health. So today, we're going to talk about the silent killer most people ignore—and how regulating your emotions may be the most powerful health practice you'll ever learn.

Feeling stuck while juggling big, messy goals? We've all been there.  Today we talk about a simple, coaching-proof, reliable way to turn overwhelm into motion: after years of coaching complex client cases, one thing never fails - oversimplification outperforms overcomplication when you need momentum and progress.  You'll hear practical examples across domains: a single rule that quietly drives weight loss, a daily recognition habit that nudges culture toward engagement, and a no‑frills sales sprint that outperforms complex business strategies. Each tactic is intentionally small, easy to track, and resilient on your busiest days.  We also dig into the softer but crucial arenas: repairing strained relationships with one genuine appreciation every day, and rebuilding self‑esteem by recording a single hard thing you did or value you upheld. These practices shrink the gap between intention and action and create proof you can feel. No sprawling frameworks, no massive life overhaul just one behavior you can start your day on.  If this resonates, tap follow, share it with someone who feels stuck, and leave a quick review.  What's your one action you'll start today?  Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive, Leadership and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

You can be passionate about your exercise or sport, and still burn out from it. Have you ever pushed yourself so hard to “do better” or beat a personal best, that the joy disappeared? For many perfectionistic or ADHD minds, exercise can be too much of a good thing, so how to balance that is exactly what this episode unpacks. In this episode of the Pause Purpose Play podcast, Clinical Psychologist Michaela Thomas speaks with Dr. Josephine Perry, Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist, about the complex relationship between ADHD, high performance, and perfectionism in sport and exercise. Together, they explore how the drive for achievement can become both a strength and a struggle — especially for those with busy, high-achieving minds. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone using exercise to manage ADHD, this conversation offers insights into balancing motivation, wellbeing, and self-compassion. Dr. Perry shares her practical ‘coins system' for tracking energy expenditure and understanding when you're pushing too hard, offering strategies to prevent burnout, injury, and loss of joy in movement. Michaela brings her signature compassionate approach to exploring how ADHD traits such as hyperfocus, impulsivity, and perfectionism can show up in exercise habits — and how to turn these into sources of balance and fulfilment instead of exhaustion. You'll hear: How ADHD and perfectionism affect motivation, recovery, and performance The fine line between discipline and overtraining Why self-compassion is the missing piece for sustainable success How societal pressures and body image ideals shape our relationship with sport Ways to bring more joy, purpose, and play into your training or movement routines About the Guest Dr Josephine Perry is a chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist who works with high performers in sport, stage and a range of sectors where people will be working outside of their comfort zones. She specialises in those struggling with performance anxiety and those who have ADHD.

Imagine this…the weather is starting to get cooler, and it's time to get out the winter clothes. You've been doing great, working hard with managing your portions, making some solid choices and feeling truly proud of yourself. But that box of winter clothes looms and you can hear the ominous eerie music in your head. Will the jeans fit?  You put on those jeans for the first time this season - and of course they're freshly washed and not stretched out at all, so they're kinda tight. A little snug.  And all that great work you've been doing, all those positive thoughts you've been cultivating, go out the window. Your brain goes straight to its old favorite soundtrack, “This will never work.” You start thinking, What's the point? And then… you hide. You stop planning your food. You stop reaching out to your AG. and You eat because it feels like there's no point in trying anyway. Why does your brain do that? Why does it shut down motivation the second there's a bump in the road? In today's episode, we'll cover: Why overwhelm makes your brain time-travel into hopelessness The sneaky science of why motivation disappears at the first sign of “failure” How to stop performing and start learning — so your brain stays on your side As well as how to trade “ugh” for “hmmm” and find your way back to confidence. Are you ready to wrangle overwhelm and win back your motivation? Aw yeah. Let's go! https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle

Summary In this conversation, I discuss the critical need for rest and the societal pressures that make it difficult for women to slow down. I explore the connection between productivity and self-worth, and how the nervous system reacts when one attempts to take a break. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing bodily signals of fatigue and the emotional resistance that often accompanies the need for rest. Takeaways If you slow down, you may feel unsafe. Rest is often equated with falling behind. Your body communicates through fatigue and anxiety. Women often struggle to relax due to societal pressures. Anhedonia can signal a need for change. Recognizing the need for rest is crucial. Pushing through fatigue can lead to burnout. Understanding your nervous system is key to relaxation. Self-worth should not be tied to productivity. Taking breaks can enhance overall well-being.

Feeling overwhelmed at work isn't the same as feeling burned out. What's happening right now might be worse.Josh Cardoz, Chief Creative and Learning Officer at Sponge, recently wrote a white paper called "Mobilising Generation Numb" that captures what's he believes is really going on in workplaces. And it resonates. People are showing up but they're detached. They're going through the motions without bringing their best selves. And it's not just a few people - it's happening at scale.We talk about the data showing that employees are cynical, exhausted, overwhelmed, and seeking community in ways we haven't seen before. Twenty percent of the workforce experiences daily loneliness. Forty-five percent of organizations report low trust cultures. During the pandemic, we saw five years of digital transformation happen in 30 days, and that pace never slowed down.Josh explains what "enshittification" means and how it's affecting our work lives. He also offers practical advice for HR professionals who want to actually help their people instead of just checking compliance boxes.This is about understanding what's really happening with your workforce and doing something useful about it.**Connect with Josh and Sponge**White paper: https://www.spongelearning.com/en/meet-generation-numbConnect with Josh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshcardoz/Sponge Learning: https://www.spongelearning.com/**Connect with Andrea**Website: https://thehrhub.ca/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-adams1/

Welcome to the 301st episode of Take Flight Weekly. Today, I introduce my word for 2026: RightSize. It's more than a word—it's a mindset I'll use throughout 2026. RightSizing is about creating alignment between who you are, what you want, and how you operate. For some, it means scaling back; for others, expanding. It could mean eliminating the unnecessary, moving up in quality, or moving down in volume to make room for what truly matters and creates an ROI or ROT (return on time). RightSizing is a philosophy rooted in awareness and discipline. It's about resisting the pull toward "more" and choosing what's right. It's making decisions based on energy, alignment, and outcome. In a world that glorifies growth at any cost, RightSizing is the counter-move. Over time, we accumulate commitments, systems, and clients that no longer fit. We add before we edit. We say yes because we can, not because we should. The result? Overwhelm, inefficiency, and a business that feels heavy instead of freeing. RightSizing forces you to create boundaries and audit your time. Are your goals still yours, or have they become someone else's expectations? Is your business operating at 30,000 feet, or are you still in constant takeoff mode? 10 Areas to RightSize in 2026: → Your Business Model – Built for profit, predictability, and joy? → Your Team – Right people in the right seats? → Your Client Base – Working with clients who energize you? → Your Time – How much is proactive vs. reactive? → Your Marketing – Focus on consistency over complexity → Your Systems – Eliminate what's redundant → Your Financial Structure – Align expenses with your vision → Your Health & Energy – Peak performance or running on fumes? → Your Space – Inspiring or cluttering your headspace? → Your Vision – Does your 3-Year Vision still excite you? RightSizing sets you up for the next level. In 2026, refuse to live on autopilot. Audit your commitments, align your priorities, and design 2026 to reflect what truly matters. What is your word for 2026? If this resonated, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Subscribe via email at @askjimmiller. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In this week's episode, Laura and Claire get real about what it looks like when life tips from busy to buried. Laura confesses to nearly ending up in Southwest Airlines jail after a full-blown airport meltdown, while Claire shares her own spiral into chaos courtesy of a nightmare insurance claim.Together, they unpack why overwhelm sneaks in even when everything looks “fine,” how to recognize when your tank's actually empty, and why doing hard things (like trail running, emotional honesty, or even saying “no”) can stretch your capacity in the best ways.Because sometimes the only way to handle life's turbulence is to laugh, lace up, and start running toward the mountain—one dramatic story at a time.

As Halloween approaches and the holidays loom, Joy shares how the pressure of unfinished tasks causes paralyzing overwhelm and offers a simple challenge: take any step — even imperfect — to break the cycle.

She invites listeners to pick one task to clear in November, declare it to someone for accountability, and join her community for support in taking consistent small steps toward a calmer, more joyful home.
