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. She is the author of 6 books including Performing Under Pressure, I Can: The teenage athlete's guide to mental fitness and, most recently, ADHD in Sport: Strategies for Success.

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. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Episode Summary: Have you ever found yourself saying yes when you really wanted to say no? Or have you ever felt overwhelmed and exhausted because you were trying to meet everyone else’s expectations? If so, you are not alone. In recognition of National Stress Awareness Day, today, we’re going to explore how to move from overwhelmed to overjoyed by learning to say no without feeling guilty. We’ll dive into Scripture, explore research on overcommitment, and I’ll share five practical ways to set God-honoring boundaries. Quotables from the episode: Many of us, especially as women, have been taught that saying yes is the godly thing to do. We associate busyness with productivity, and productivity with worth. But the truth is, constantly saying yes can leave us drained, distracted, and distant from God’s best for us. For many years, I said “Yes” every time something was asked of me because I believed it was the godly response. Until God impressed upon my heart that he never told me to do that much, and had I sought him for wisdom, He would have readily guided my path! That was totally on me, but God was so gentle in getting my attention. Psychologists have long studied the effects of people-pleasing and overcommitment. Research from the American Psychological Association shows that chronic overcommitment leads to stress, anxiety, and even depression. Emotionally, people-pleasers often struggle with self-worth, believing their value is tied to what they do for others rather than who they are in Christ. Chronic Overcommitment and Overwhelm Chronic overcommitment and overwhelm can take a serious toll on physical health, leading to conditions such as: Adrenal Fatigue & Hormonal Imbalance – Constant stress can dysregulate cortisol levels, leading to exhaustion, brain fog, and difficulty managing emotions. Cardiovascular Issues – Chronic stress increases blood pressure, heart rate, and inflammation, raising the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. Weakened Immune System – Prolonged stress suppresses immune function, making the body more susceptible to infections and slower to heal. Gastrointestinal Problems – Overwhelm can contribute to acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcers, and digestive issues. Chronic Pain & Inflammation – Stress triggers inflammation, which can exacerbate conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and migraines. Sleep Disorders – Overcommitment often leads to insomnia, poor sleep quality, and chronic fatigue. Weight Gain or Loss – Stress-related eating patterns can lead to unhealthy weight fluctuations, metabolic dysfunction, and insulin resistance. Muscle Tension & Headaches – Persistent stress can cause tight muscles, tension headaches, and even TMJ (jaw pain from clenching). Burnout & Mental Fog – Long-term overwhelm can impair cognitive function, reducing focus, memory, and decision-making ability. Autoimmune Disorders – Chronic stress has been linked to the development or worsening of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Managing stress through rest, boundaries, and self-care isn’t just about mental well-being; it’s essential for physical health. Jesus himself set boundaries. In Luke 5:16, we read, “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” He didn’t heal every person or meet every need. He sought the Father’s will first. If Jesus set boundaries, then we should, too. Addressing the spiritual and scientific aspects of restoration To counteract the physical effects of chronic overcommitment and overwhelm, we must address both the spiritual and scientific aspects of restoration. Here’s how: Prioritizing Rest & Sabbath (Biblical & Scientific) Biblical Insight: God modeled rest in Genesis 2:2-3, and Jesus regularly withdrew to quiet places (Mark 6:31). Sabbath isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a command for our well-being (Exodus 20:8-10). Science: Rest lowers cortisol, improves immune function, and enhances brain health. Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and physical repair. Application: Schedule intentional rest. Guard your Sabbath. Ensure 7-9 hours of sleep. Setting Boundaries to Prevent Overcommitment Biblical Insight: Even Jesus set boundaries—He didn’t heal everyone at once and took time alone with the Father (Luke 5:16). Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to guard our hearts, which includes protecting our time and energy. Science: Chronic stress leads to burnout, weakened immunity, and heart disease. Learning to say “no” prevents emotional and physical depletion. Application: Use discernment in commitments. Before saying “yes,” ask: Does this align with God’s will? Is this sustainable? Engaging in Mind-Body Renewal Biblical Insight: Romans 12:2 encourages us to renew our minds. Philippians 4:8 tells us to focus on what is pure and lovely. Science: Practices like deep breathing, exercise, and gratitude shift the brain out of stress mode, improving mental clarity and resilience. Application: Try breath prayers (e.g., inhale “Be still,” exhale “and know that I am God”; inhale “I trust you, God,” exhale “in all things.”). Move daily to reduce inflammation and boost mood. Nourishing the Body & Mind Biblical Insight: Daniel chose healthy foods and was stronger than those indulging in excess (Daniel 1:12-15). Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Science: Whole foods reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, and protect against stress-related illnesses. Application: Eat nutrient-dense foods, stay hydrated, and avoid excess caffeine or sugar that heightens stress responses. Seeking Community & Support Biblical Insight: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 teaches that two are better than one. We weren’t designed to carry burdens alone (Galatians 6:2). Science: Social connection lowers stress hormones, strengthens immunity, and increases resilience. Application: Surround yourself with godly counsel. Delegate. Accept help. Community is part of God’s design for our well-being. Releasing Control & Trusting God Biblical Insight: Jesus said, “Come to me, all who are weary… and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Trusting God’s sovereignty brings peace (Isaiah 26:3). Science: Chronic stress stems from feeling out of control. Releasing worries to God reduces anxiety, lowers blood pressure, and improves mental health. Application: Regularly surrender your burdens to God. Journal prayers. Meditate on Scriptures about His faithfulness. By aligning our lives with God’s rhythms and applying scientific wisdom, we can reduce overwhelm and prevent burnout and experience lasting peace. Practical Tips for How to Set Healthy, God-Honoring Boundaries Recognize that “No” is a Complete Sentence You don’t need to over-explain or justify your decision. Jesus simply said “yes” or “no” (Matthew 5:37). When we recognize that saying no is a way to honor God’s best for us, we can do so with confidence. Pray Before You Commit Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. ”Before saying yes to anything, take a moment to pray and ask, Is this God’s best for me in this season? Set Priorities Based on God’s Calling Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are created for good works that God prepared in advance for us. This means that we are not called to do everything—only what He has specifically prepared for us. Identify what God is calling you to do in this season and let that guide your commitments. Understand That Saying No Opens the Door for God’s Yes When we fill our schedules with obligations, we leave no room for the divine appointments God has for us. Saying no creates margin for God’s greater yes. Isaiah 30:21 says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” Practice Saying No with Grace and Love You can say no in a way that honors both God and the other person. Here are a few ways: “Thank you for thinking of me, but I can’t commit to that right now.” “I appreciate the opportunity, but I need to focus on what God has called me to in this season.” “I’d love to help another time, but my plate is full right now.” Encouraging Scripture to Empower You: Learning to say no without feeling guilty Galatians 1:10 – “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Matthew 11:28-30 – Jesus calls us to rest in Him, not to take on every burden. Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, God’s best for us is rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We must discern what is right for this season. Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Our commitments should be done with joy and purpose, not guilt. Scripture References: Luke 5:16 “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Galatians 1:10 “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus calls us to rest in Him, not to take on every burden. Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, God’s best for us is rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We must discern what is right for this season. Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Our commitments should be done with joy and purpose, not guilt. Saying no is not a rejection of others—it is a way of saying yes to what God has planned for you. You don’t have to live overwhelmed and exhausted. You can move from overcommitted to overjoyed by setting God-honoring boundaries. I encourage you this week to pray over your commitments. Ask God to show you where you need to say no so you can say yes to His best. If today’s episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs encouragement in this area.

There are some seasons we go through that truly feel like we're being stretched beyond what we can handle. Whether its exciting moves of God where doors are opening all at once -doors you once prayed to open but now it feels like time is fleeting. Or it's constant transitions where you can't seem to catch a moment to breath and you're wondering when it'll slow down. Or a workload and family life that can feel impossible to juggle as everything seems to be pressing for your time. The stretching seasons can truly teach us so much IF we can slow down long enough to learn the lessons God has for us in them. In this episode I discuss 10 lessons I've learned from the stretching seasons I've been in that I hope can save you time and overwhelm. Lessons mentors have walked me through even in this season. Remember the enemy would love it if you quit during the stretching seasons, but don't. You can adjust, you can pivot, you can even slow down but just don't give up. God is with you!Worship The Blessing

In this episode of Growth Think Tank, I delve into the power of leadership energy and its impact on communication, influence, and connection. I share why managing your energy. Not just your time, but also key to inspiring others and sustaining growth. You'll learn how to conduct an energy audit to identify what drains and fuels you, align your schedule with your natural energy rhythms, and build in recovery cycles that keep you performing at your best. I also explain how leading with energy fosters a positive and engaged team culture. By the end, you'll be inspired to take a fresh look at your own energy habits and discover how mastering your energy can elevate your leadership and your results. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:28 – Patterns of CEO Life 2:31 – The Importance of Vision 5:20 – Revealing Blind Spots 7:09 – Resetting Priorities 8:49 – Reframing Perspectives 9:25 – Realigning Your Team 10:56 – The Value of Coaching Understanding CEO Coaching & Overcoming Overwhelm In this episode, I delve into the true essence of CEO coaching and its transformative impact on both business performance and personal leadership growth. Many CEOs feel overwhelmed, pressured by endless tasks, and trapped in habits that don't serve their long-term goals. I discuss why working longer hours isn't the answer and emphasize the importance of letting go of lower-value work to focus on what truly drives impact. We begin by examining the first steps of coaching, identifying what a client genuinely desires for their business. Establishing a clear vision is critical, as it not only sets direction but also aligns the team. Without a well-defined objective, leaders often operate reactively rather than proactively. Through coaching, we identify these gaps and develop strategies that align with genuine aspirations. Revealing Blind Spots & Resetting Priorities A key focus of coaching is uncovering blind spots that hinder growth. Many CEOs struggle with patterns of impatience, control, or other behaviors that limit both personal and organizational progress. Through reflective questioning, leaders gain insight into these hidden challenges, enabling them to break unproductive patterns and accelerate growth. We then explore resetting priorities, helping leaders determine what they are truly optimizing for, whether financial growth, innovation, or team development. Each leader's journey is unique, and coaching provides a tailored approach to focus energy on the highest-impact areas. Additionally, we discuss the importance of reframing challenges, demonstrating how shifts in perspective can reveal new opportunities and solutions that were previously obscured. Realigning Teams & Embracing Change Growth often requires realigning teams. The people who helped build the business may not always fit the vision for the future. Coaching provides guidance on having difficult conversations and making courageous decisions that strengthen alignment toward shared goals. I share stories from my coaching experience that show how realignment can transform team dynamics and drive substantial business growth. Throughout the episode, I emphasize that maintaining the status quo won't propel leaders to the next level. By embracing change, identifying blind spots, and making strategic adjustments, CEOs can achieve faster progress, reduced stress, and greater clarity. I conclude by inviting leaders to explore my personalized coaching programs, designed to help operators evolve into visionary CEOs. These sessions provide practical tools, mentorship, and actionable insights to unlock leadership potential and accelerate business success. Key Takeaways Vision before strategy: Growth begins with defining a clear, compelling vision that aligns your entire organization. Awareness precedes change: Recognizing control patterns, impatience, or outdated habits is the first step to transformation. Prioritize for impact: Identify what you're optimizing for, financial success, innovation, culture, and align your efforts accordingly. Perspective is everything: Reframing problems often reveals the breakthroughs you've been missing. Team alignment drives results: The people who got you here may not be the ones to take you there, lead with courage and clarity.

To Health With That! Podcast Season 5, Episode 4. Thank you so much to Tony for generously sharing his story - the full interview was fabulous and included much more than we could put in one podcast episode, so we broke it into two. In this episode, Tony shares his frustration at feeling bad, but doctors telling him he's "normal", the relief at finding MTHFR, which makes his symptoms make more sense, and the beginnings of his journey so far. He talks about brain fog, fears of cognitive decline, overwhelm, and more.00:00 - Introduction00:48 - Tony doesn't feel good, but doctors say he's fine01:18 - Being stuck in the disabled veteran category02:11 - Found out about MTHFR02:27 - Eliminating folic acid03:05 - Methyl folate feels like too much03:21 - Trying B1203:48 - The beginning is hardest with MTHFR04:53 - Methyl-free multivitamin05:42 - Tony's perfect storm of triggers08:07 - MTHFR and blood sugar dysregulation08:33 - Things we wish we knew when we were young09:33 - Brain fog or cognitive decline10:55 - Overwhelm and high sensitivity13:03 - Highly sensitive person as a form of neurodiversity14:27 - Not alone in this.hanks so much for watching!

Have you ever had one of those conversations that starts so casual and ends up changing how you see everything? Stacy and Daynah talk about creating from a place of joy instead of productivity, learning to reframe overwhelm, and finding meaning in the messy overlap between science and soul. They explore intuition, belief, and the art of holding space for both logic and magic. And then Daynah shares a story so powerful it defies explanation - a real moment of intuition that changed everything she believed about coincidence, timing, and what connects us. By the end, they land on what might be the truest form of alchemy: choosing joy, staying curious, and finding wonder in the things we can't explain. 0:00 | Perimenopause brain and finding lost phones 3:00 | Overwhelm, reframing, and finding creative joy 6:00 | Joy as a form of wealth 8:00 | Indigenous roots of community and commerce 10:00 | Disney, feminism, and representation 17:30 | Respectful disagreement and conscious consumerism 19:00 | How to talk across political divides with empathy 25:00 | Astrology, intuition, and the science of energy 32:00 | Daynah's intuition story that defies explanation 40:00 | Processing trauma and the limits of what we can know 45:00 | Kindness, joy, and human connection as universal truths 47:00 | Introducing Mission Alchemists 55:00 | Candles, Enneagrams, and the art of creating something beautiful 57:00 | Wrap-up (and a tease for the bonus Taylor Swift episode) Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com missionalchemists.com Learn more about your ad choices.

So if you feel like you're constantly losing it, always overwhelmed, easily distracted, or the worst, ASHAMED at how stupid you seem to others, fear not because our girl Mel is here to help!! Mel Robbins is a best selling author, podcast host, and one of the most sought-after speakers in the world – but while she has had SOOO much success in her life, she can't seem to text anyone back, remember someone's birthday, or put away the milk when she makes coffee. The thing is guys, even Mel frikin' Robbins isn't immune to the anxiety and self-criticism that comes from undiagnosed ADHD. But now, in her 50s, she is FINALLY ditching the self-criticism and owning her diagnosis But women have historically been disproportionately undiagnosed for SOO many reasons, (and yep…. I am part of that stat too!) which is why I wanted Mel to come on the show to talk about the sneaky symptoms of ADHD that you might be suffering with right now, the power that can come from a proper diagnosis, and what you can do to OWN it and make it your superpower! Because once you understand that YOU'RE NOT CRAZY and your brain just works differently, THAT'S when you can actually take control and do something about it!!

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with longtime friend, business partner, and Black Belt coach Dr. Addison Killeen to talk about his brand-new book, The Shift: A Leadership Fable of Transition from Overwhelm to Focus. Addison breaks down the motivation behind the book, the real-life struggles that inspired its fictional characters, and why storytelling can sometimes teach business lessons better than a textbook.   Together, they walk through the book's core themes—from building core values to mastering systems and hiring the right people—and why these foundational principles can make or break a dental practice. They also dig into Addison's past working with defense contractors and restaurants, how those experiences shaped his view of business, and why mentorship is one of the most powerful resources any dentist can access.   Be sure to check out the full episode from the Dentalpreneur Podcast!
