Scott is with Matt Snyder, founder of Brands Excel, to discuss one of the most misunderstood transitions on Amazon: moving between Vendor Central (1P) and Seller Central (3P). After years of third-party sellers gaining share, Amazon's first-party retail business appears to be growing again. Matt explains how tariffs, inventory challenges, margin pressure, and operational complexity have made life harder for many mid-sized sellers, while larger brands continue capturing more market share. The result is a marketplace where the biggest players keep getting bigger. He details the transition from 1P to 3P, including the internal roadblocks that can prevent brands from gaining control of listings, content, and catalogs. Matt also shares how Amazon's New Seller Success team can sometimes help brands navigate these challenges. Scott and Matt also look at the reverse trend. These are brands moving from 3P back to 1P. In categories like grocery and consumables, Amazon may subsidize pricing and logistics in ways that make the vendor model attractive. There is no perfect model. As ecommerce evolves through AI, social commerce, and changing marketplace economics, brands that know when to shift strategies and navigate the messy middle will be best positioned for growth.   Episode Notes: 00:09 - Amazon retail (1P) begins gaining share again relative to 3P sellers 01:54 - Why larger brands are capturing more market share 03:12 - Pattern and the rise of large marketplace operators 04:58 - Common reasons brands consider moving from 1P to 3P 06:53 - Vendor agreements and the challenges of opening a Seller Central account 08:16 - Using Amazon leadership principles to gain internal support 10:32 - How Amazon's New Seller Success team can help transitions 12:02 - Why 1P to 3P transitions remain difficult for large brands 13:40 - Content ownership, listing control, and vendor contribution issues 14:54 - The emerging trend of 3P brands moving to 1P 16:12 - Categories where the vendor model can still outperform 3P 17:20 - Amazon Fresh, grocery expansion, and basket-building products 18:48 - Pricing subsidies and how Amazon protects customer loyalty 20:16 - The trade-offs between different Amazon business models 22:14 - Looking ahead: AI, social commerce, and future marketplace shifts 24:12 - AI agents and the next wave of ecommerce complexity 24:55 - Building a collaborative Amazon seller community Related Post: How to Use Amazon Ad Data to Find New Product Opportunities How to Reach Matt: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/matthew-snyder-amazon Website: https://www.brandsexcel.com/ Scott's Links: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/scott-needham-a8b39813 X: @itsScottNeedham Instagram: @smartestseller YouTube: www.youtube.com/@smartestamazonseller2371 Newsletter: https://www.smartscout.com/newsletter-sign-up Blog: https://www.smartscout.com/blog

Being easy to be with feels like a gift you're giving your relationship. But if you're performing ease you don't actually feel, it's slowly starving you both.You say you're fine. Your partner believes you. And somewhere underneath that, a quiet resentment starts to build, not toward anything specific, just toward never really being known.The performance keeps the surface smooth. But your needs don't disappear because you've stopped voicing them. They go underground, and they start to cost you the intimacy you're working so hard to protect.In this episode:* Understand why the fawn response taught you to hide your needs and why it made complete sense when you learned it* Tell the difference between being genuinely easygoing and performing ease from a place of fear* Practice one small daily habit that starts rebuilding the muscle of asking for what you needThis is episode 4 of 5. The pattern you've been performing your whole life won't shift overnight, but it shifts one honest sentence at a time.If this one hit close to home, the free PDF covers all five patterns.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and better decisions under pressure isn't your circumstances, but the automatic “autopilot” reactions running your mind without you noticing?In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr Gregory Obert breaks down why we so often react emotionally before we even realise what's happening, and how that can distort our thinking, relationships, and choices. If you've ever snapped, assumed the worst, or regretted a reaction in the heat of the moment, this conversation connects directly to that experience and shows what's actually going on beneath it.By listening, you'll understand:How “autopilot” thinking quietly shapes your reactions and decisions without conscious awarenessSimple mindfulness techniques to interrupt unhelpful thought loops and “defuse” from them in real timePractical nervous-system tools (like sensory grounding and cold exposure) to regain control when emotions spikePress play on this episode to learn how to step out of reactive patterns and respond with clarity even in high-pressure moments.˚KEY POINTS AND TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - How Autopilot Reactions Shape Your Decisions02:35 - What Mindfulness Really Means05:58 - The Johnny Example and Assumptions Under Pressure10:16 - Defusion: Separating Thoughts from Reality12:04 - Simple Mindfulness Exercises to Build Awareness16:15 - How to Interrupt Emotional Reactions in Real Time18:24 - The 0 to 10 Emotional Scale and the Logical Brain21:41 - Using Cold Exposure to Calm Emotional Intensity29:05 - Sitting with Difficult Emotions Without Escaping Them36:07 - Where to Learn More from Dr Greg Obert˚MEMORABLE QUOTE:"It's paying attention on purpose to the present moment, non-judgmentally."˚VALUABLE RESOURCES:Dr Greg's website: https://www.royaloasispi.com/˚Coaching with Agi: https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/mentor˚

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with corporate consultant turned hypnotherapist and author Pratiqk Jaani to dismantle a heavy, low-grade truth most of us carry: why does climbing one mountain of success only reveal another mountain to climb, leaving us perpetually unsatisfied? If you've ever felt that life's heavy pressure isn't coming from your endless to-do list, but from the actual lens through which you view reality, this episode is your wake-up call. Jaani introduces the profound concept of Dhrasti—the point of perception from which you experience external events—and shares how he transitioned from balancing corporate spreadsheets to unlocking the human subconscious. Together, they explore how we unknowingly live under a "quiet agreement" of societal conditioning inherited from generations before us. By shifting from a "doing being" to a "being being," Jaani reveals how you can break free from familiar emotional pain, locate the silent inner observer, and finally stop misusing your imagination for anxiety.

Prosecutors say Timothy Hudson killed Anna Kepner "without any warning." Jennifer Coffindaffer spent 28 years at the FBI and wants to know why they'd use that language when the public record suggests something very different.Anna's ex-boyfriend reportedly told investigators Hudson tried to climb on top of her during a FaceTime call. He was allegedly fixated on her. He reportedly wanted to date her despite being her stepbrother. He allegedly always carried a large knife. Anna's aunt said Anna was afraid of him. Reports say she didn't want to go on the cruise. The adults put her in a shared cabin with him aboard the Carnival Horizon. No parents present.On November 7, 2025, Anna's body was found under a bed in that stateroom — wrapped in a blanket, covered with life preservers. The medical examiner ruled it homicide by mechanical asphyxiation. Hudson is reportedly on camera as the only person entering and leaving. A grand jury indicted him as an adult. He's pleaded not guilty. Trial is September 8th.Coffindaffer examines what the alleged behavioral pattern tells an investigator about whether this was escalation toward a foreseeable outcome versus an isolated event. She addresses how the FBI reads a crime scene showing deliberate concealment alongside a suspect who reportedly claims complete memory loss — and why those two elements existing together carry specific forensic significance.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta addresses the defense's strategic dilemma. Identity isn't the fight. The fight is charges, degree, and the adults' decisions. If the defense argues the family failed Anna — put her in danger they'd been warned about — they risk the jury's contempt for deflecting responsibility. Motta walks through how you thread that needle.Timothy's biological mother reportedly won't attend the trial. His father alleges she chose her marriage over her son. Coffindaffer examines what that family fracture looks like to a jury — and whether it helps or hurts the defense when the person who should be sitting behind the defendant has reportedly walked away.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Among four-shaft weavers, A Handweaver's Pattern Book is commonly referred to by just the author's name—Davison—or as “the green book,” a reference to the iconic cover of many of the book's printings. Since Marguerite Porter Davison first published it in 1944, it has been a foundational reference, the first book that many weavers buy and the one they keep close at hand. Packed with drafts and photographs for overshot, twill, crackle, and dozens of other structures, it's the weaver's answer to The Joy of Cooking: a starting point for design, a resource for understanding a structure, and a map for exploration. Although it remained in print for decades, it became unavailable in 2005, and the weaving community felt the loss. For the past several years, a group of nearly 100 weavers and other volunteers has been working to bring it back. Weavers from guilds from coast to coast have nearly finished reweaving all of the book's samples—more than 1,200 of them—in color. Technical reviewers have created contemporary drafts. The original instructions for sinking-shed looms have been adapted to the jack looms more common in most weavers' studios. Despite the updates, the project's north star has been to honor Davison's voice and intentions. The updated edition, to be published by Schiffer Craft, is expected in summer 2027. Leading the effort is Caroline Cooley Browne, who happens to be Marguerite Porter Davison's granddaughter. Davison died when Caroline was a baby, but she grew up hearing stories from her mother of warping looms in Marguerite's attic studio, of train rides to the printer, of the woman who traveled to numerous guilds because she loved being with other weavers. When the copyright to the 1951 edition eventually came to Caroline through her family, she knew what to do with it, and she enlisted a team of eager volunteers to help bring the new edition to life. In this episode, Caroline is joined by Donna Johnson of the Whidbey Weavers Guild, who coordinates volunteers for the guild's sample weaving, and Anita Osterhaug, who connected the project with the publisher and has been part of the technical steering committee. Together they talk about the logistical undertaking of standardizing hundreds of samples across dozens of weavers, the technical decisions involved in updating the book, and what it has felt like to be part of the next chapter of something this important. Listen in to hear why the green book has never gone out of fashion, what surprised the weavers as they worked through structures they'd never tried before, and what Marguerite Porter Davison's granddaughter hopes she would think of the whole endeavor.

On November 16, 2012, 37-year-old Cari Farver was reported missing by her mother, Nancy, after she suddenly stopped showing up for work and answering calls. No one had seen Cari since the morning of November 13, but her phone was active, sending messages and posting online, making it seem like she hadn't disappeared at all. Still, Nancy was adamant something was wrong. The messages didn't sound like Cari. As detectives began looking into Cari's disappearance, they started receiving reports that she was stalking and threatening multiple people. For more than two years, the behavior continued, growing more intense and dangerous than anyone could have imagined. And by the time detectives finally uncovered what was really going on, they were left trying to untangle a case so complicated, and so bizarre, that prosecutors worried a jury wouldn't believe it was true.  Try our coffee! - www.CriminalCoffeeCo.com Become a Patreon member -- > https://www.patreon.com/CrimeWeekly Shop for your Crime Weekly gear here --> https://crimeweeklypodcast.com/shop Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CrimeWeeklyPodcast Website: CrimeWeeklyPodcast.com Instagram: @CrimeWeeklyPod Twitter: @CrimeWeeklyPod Facebook: @CrimeWeeklyPod ADS: https://www.HelixSleep.com/CrimeWeekly - Get 27% off sitewide!        2. https://www.OneSkin.co/CrimeWeekly - Use code CRIMEWEEKLY for 15% off!

Imagine walking past a fire while everyone around you acts like it's perfectly normal. That's how most of us treat our emotions—normalizing patterns that quietly affect our happiness, our health, and our ability to truly thrive. In this mini episode, Brandy shares insights from her session with volunteer Mark, who was navigating cancer and feeling as though he had never quite followed through on what he truly wanted in life. As they worked together, a deeper pattern surfaced—one that millions of people carry without realizing what it's quietly costing them. In this episode, you'll discover: Why this pattern is so easy to overlook The surprising, counterintuitive reason it keeps repeating What needs to shift for genuine transformation to begin Most people try to fight these patterns or "release" them. But Brandy reveals why that often doesn't create lasting change—and what actually does.

Put three cases on the table and a pattern emerges about how the system decides who it holds and who it releases. We examine all three with a defense attorney and former prosecutor.In the Anna Kepner case, the eighteen-year-old's death aboard a cruise is being prosecuted in federal court. The sixteen-year-old defendant, indicted as an adult, remains free after a judge acknowledged a comparable adult would be detained — and flagged the minors living in the home where the teen is placed. In the Dan Markel prosecution, the evidentiary record has produced five convictions, yet Wendi Adelson, who testified repeatedly under limited immunity, and Harvey Adelson, tied to airport flight plans to a non-extradition country, remain uncharged co-conspirators. In the Sandra Birchmore case, the forensic picture sharpened dramatically: an amended death certificate moving the manner of death off suicide, DNA the state attributes to the accused on the alleged weapon, and a bail denial resting on evidence the court called very strong, if not overwhelming.The throughline is the gap between what investigators believe and what the system has formally done about it — wide in two of these cases, finally closing in the third. Our guest works through the evidence in each, the procedural levers in play, and what realistically comes next.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Our A2A Course is live and at 40% off until Friday, May 29th at 1pm ET. Visit https://focusnowtraining.com/a2a-course to sign up NOW!!Marcus Aurelius said it nearly two thousand years ago: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own. On this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider sit down with Andy Riise... army officer, mental performance coach for NFL athletes including the Chicago Bears, and host of the Skull Sessions podcast... to break down the approval trap and why it's quietly running most men's lives.Will lays the biological foundation. Fear of negative evaluation, FNE, is one of the most studied patterns in clinical psychology. Your brain processes social rejection through the same neural circuits it uses for physical pain. Getting dismissed in a meeting registers the same way getting punched does. That's evolutionary wiring, not weakness.The guys get into the spotlight effect (Cornell research showing people overestimate how much others notice them by roughly double), Andy's story of deliberately sitting with a different group at the West Point prep school mess hall, and Alyssa Liu's gold medal comeback after quitting figure skating to rediscover why she loved it in the first place.Jon, Will, and Andy walk through how FNE shows up in daily life: the yes-man pattern at work that stalls careers, the reassurance-seeking in relationships that erodes attraction, the Disney dad trap of buying approval instead of earning respect, and the deepest layer... the ghost. Most men are performing for one or two specific people from their past, and they've been doing it for decades.Andy teaches the BASS framework he uses with NFL athletes for real-time emotional regulation. Will adds a values audit and a spotlight effect experiment. And Jon talks about how purpose is the single biggest antidote to approval-seeking, which ties directly into the A2A (Awareness to Action) course launching through Focus Now Training.What you'll hear in this episode:Why social rejection activates the same brain circuits as physical painThe spotlight effect: half as many people are watching you as you thinkAndy's West Point mess hall story and why crossing social lines is the real macho moveAlyssa Liu's gold medal run and the next-play mindsetHow FNE shows up at work, in relationships, with kids, and in communityThe ghost concept: who you're still performing for decades laterBASS framework: Breathe, Accept, Separate, ShiftMotivational interviewing basics: OARS (Open questions, Affirmations, Reflective listening, Summarizing)Purpose as the antidote to approval-seekingAndy's podcast: Skull Sessions (available everywhere) Andy's TEDx talk: Fight to Win the War from WithinFull episode: https://pod.fo/e/3abd25Text MTM to 33777 for updates on new episodes, the A2A course, and resources from Focus Now Training.Jon's book, DIAL in Your Leadership: 4 Non-negotiables for Leading with Clarity, Trust, and Purpose, is available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0hYwI2SzFollow Men Talking Mindfulness, Jon Macaskill, and Will Schneider for more.Hosted on Ausha.

In Episode 166, Jeremy Neisser breaks down why those vanity metrics are misleading, what an outside marketing partner can and can't control, and the conversion-focused metrics that actually tell you whether your agency is earning its fee.

Was Alanna's bonding of Rand a cruel violation… or a necessary thread woven by the Pattern itself?

From ta'veren destiny and free will to Rand's psychological decline and the Pattern's possible intentions, we unravel the threads behind one of the series' most uncomfortable—and important—relationships.

His goal is to help ecommerce entrepreneurs make smarter hiring decisions and avoid costly errors.Bullet Points:Importance of trusting gut feelings in the hiring processStarting the hiring process early to avoid rushed decisionsIdentifying clear positive indicators (green flags) in candidatesUtilizing contractors or consultants for initial trial periodsEnsuring alignment of personality and company cultureVerifying candidates' patterns of career success and technical competenceFeeling genuine excitement about potential hiresAccepting imperfections while avoiding overanalysisGaining experience and learning from hiring mistakesDeveloping a comprehensive approach to hiring senior leaders in ecommerceTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction to Hiring FrameworksJosh Hadley introduces the nine mental frameworks he uses before extending a job offer for senior-level roles in his business.00:01:05 Framework 1: Gut FeelingTrust your intuition and gut feeling about a candidate, as it's often the most reliable indicator of a good hire.00:03:15 Framework 2: Start Hiring EarlyBegin the hiring process as soon as possible to attract a large pool of applicants, aiming for 1000 per position.00:04:20 Framework 3: Don't Succumb to Business PressureAvoid letting the immediate needs of the business force you into making a hasty or less-than-ideal hiring decision.00:06:18 Framework 4: Look for Green FlagsA-level talent consistently presents "green flags" in their case studies and interviews; a lack of them is a red flag.00:07:28 Framework 5: Use Contractors FirstHire new team members as contractors for 30-90 days to prove their fit before committing to a W-2 employee.00:09:26 Framework 6: The Three CheckboxesEnsure candidates are a personality fit, align with core values, and have a proven pattern of success in their career.00:12:33 Framework 7: Be Excited About the HireIf you have to convince yourself to hire someone, it's a warning sign. You should be genuinely excited about them.00:13:33 Framework 8: Accept ImperfectionsNo candidate is perfect. Ask yourself if you would regret not hiring this person, despite their minor, non-deal-breaking flaws.00:14:39 Framework 9: Get Experience Through RepsYour ability to recognize and hire A-level talent will improve with practice, so don't be afraid to make mistakes.Links and Mentions:Hiring Process"Gut Feeling / Intuition": "00:02:09""Hiring Process Timing": "00:03:15""Case Study Evaluation": "00:06:18""Contractor/Consultant Hiring": "00:07:28"Assessment Tools and Methods"Culture Index": "00:10:22""Core Values Assessment": "00:11:15""Pattern of Success Evaluation": "00:12:33"Hiring Concepts"Excitement for Hire": "00:12:39""Flaws vs. Deal Breakers": "00:13:33""Experience in Hiring": "00:15:38"Conclusion"Conclusion": "00:15:38"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00  Today, I'm going to share with you the nine different frameworks that I use before extending an offer to somebody that I'm about to hire in the business. Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast. I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I am a man of faith. I am a husband to a beautiful wife and the father of four children. I have been selling in the e-commerce space for over a decade, doing $20 million a year annually and selling multi-millionaire on Amazon, TikTok, shop and Shopify. I'm also the host of the number one business strategy podcast for ecommerce entrepreneurs, and that's E-com breakthrough. Today, I'm ultimately just going to share with you something that's on top of my mind as I'm looking to add some senior level managers and leaders into my business right now.Josh Hadley 00:01:05  And to be honest with you, I've gone through like multiple different people that I've been considering extending some invitations and offers to come join the business. However, I've come back full circle and I've decided that none of them are the right fit. And so I want to walk you through the different frameworks that I use. There's nine different ones to help me come to this realization that, hey, honestly, this is kind of the warning signals. These are not the right people for the business. And this comes after hiring people for the last decade. And because I've been hiring people for the last decade, like my pattern recognition has only gotten better and better over time. And in addition, I have more examples of what it looks like when somebody is not a great hire and what it looks like when somebody is an exceptional team member. So let's go through framework number one. And this is going to be the gut feeling. This is that gut check. And most, like so many people say, well, what is your gut say? What does that even mean? Right.Josh Hadley 00:02:09  What does that mean? I truly believe, like there we all have a soul inside of us, and there's something about that spiritual energy inside of us that I think is leading and guiding us on a daily basis. We just don't even know it like. But I think it does teach us things on a regular basis. And so it is that light and light is attracted to other light. And so I believe that when we make those gut decisions, it's really our conscious, that soul that is speaking into us, whether this is the right fit or it's not. And oftentimes this has been the number one indicator for me as to whether, like, somebody is going to be a great hire or not. Is that feeling that I get from the moment that I watch their case study that they put together for the business, and also the interview that I conducted What? That team member. If I'm getting that good, like, gut feeling, so to speak, those are very positive signs. But if I'm ever getting that feeling of, like, an uneasiness or like maybe that's the warning signal.Josh Hadley 00:03:15  So that's framework number one is like right down the gut feeling, your intuition that comes to you almost immediately because your brain is going to be able to begin rationalizing almost anybody, and you can rationalize anybody into almost any different role, but don't let your brain do that. And so often I've had that happen to me. Framework number two is start the hiring process as soon as you possibly can. And the reason why you want to start the hiring process as soon as you possibly can is because guess what? Finding the right person is going to take time. And so first off, I'm going to go through my framework. And before I ever extend an offer to somebody I'm going to ask myself, how many applicants have I even seen? How many people even applied to this job? My goal is that I've got 1000 applicants for every single one of my positions....

Most self-sabotage isn't a discipline problem — it's an unconscious pattern problem. In this episode, I break down something most people struggle to see clearly: the patterns driving self-sabotage are often unconscsherryshabanvious.A lot of people know something is off — stress, emotional triggers, or repeated behaviors — but still can't trace where it's actually coming from. This episode brings clarity to that gap.Instead of trying to fix behavior at the surface level, I guide you into identifying the thought loops underneath it.Why You Can't Always See Your PatternThere's a difference between:conscious thoughts (what you notice)unconscious patterns (what actually drives behavior)Unconscious beliefs live in the nervous system and quietly shape:emotional reactionseating behaviorsrelationship patternsself-sabotage cyclesThis is why awareness alone sometimes feels incomplete — the real driver is often deeper than thought.Pattern #1: Birth Trauma (The World Feels Unsafe)This pattern shows up as an unconscious sense that the world is unsafe or unpredictable.It can look like:chronic anxiety or hypervigilanceassuming others can't be trustedfeeling unsafe in neutral environmentsapologizing for your existencefear without a clear sourceAt its core, this pattern keeps the nervous system in protection mode.Pattern #2: Parental Disapproval ConditioningThis pattern forms when approval or emotional validation felt inconsistent growing up.It can show up as:never feeling “good enough”overworking for recognitiondifficulty feeling satisfied with achievementsneeding external validation to feel secureWorth becomes tied to performance instead of inherent identity.Pattern #3: The Unconscious Death UrgeThis is the “shutdown” or withdrawal response that appears when change feels overwhelming.It sounds like:“What's the point?”“Why bother?”“Nothing will work anyway”“I've tried everything”It often appears right before growth opportunities — not because change isn't possible, but because the system is resisting effort and uncertainty.Pattern #4: Negative Thought Loops (What If Thinking)Two dominant patterns show up here:What If Down Thinking:What if it doesn't work?What if I fail?What if I get rejected?What If Up Thinking:What if it works?What if something shifts?What if I succeed?Most people live primarily in “what if down” without noticing how much it shapes behavior.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

Today's guest is Julie Stern Hittleman: a metabolic health coach, entrepreneur, and leader whose own journey of transformation has inspired hundreds of people to reclaim their health, confidence, energy, and sense of self.  After overcoming profound personal health challenges, including losing over 120 pounds and reversing serious metabolic dysfunction, Julie came to understand that true transformation goes far beyond the body. It touches identity, emotion, relationships, self-worth, and the deeper patterns quietly shaping our lives. In this episode, Julie opens up about the hidden emotional patterns that continue to surface even after external success, growth, and achievement. Together, we explore the invisible dynamics influencing the way she relates to herself, her future, and the life she's creating, and what becomes possible when those patterns are finally brought into awareness. This is not a performance or a polished interview. It's a real coaching session. Real vulnerability. Real emotion. Real breakthrough. If you've ever felt like there's another level of you waiting to emerge, or sensed that an unseen pattern may still be shaping parts of your life despite all the work you've done, there's a very good chance you'll see yourself somewhere in this conversation.

Big Idea: Biblical manhood and womanhood had principles today that come from the patterns of the old testament Pattern #1 Men as the Formal Leaders of God's people Pattern #2 Men as the recognized heads of their families Pattern #3 Women as glad (and grieving) childbearers in their families Pattern #4 Women as heroic helpers of God's people Practicing Biblical womanhood and manhood means: Acknowledging the male and female patterns in Scripture, including the OT Accepting the principles of men as heads and women as helpers in their families and in God's family Admitting our need for Jesus to faithfully (not flawlessly) implement these principles Q. We've explicitly stated that biblical manhood can be fulfilled outside of marriage but I don't recall the opposite being said. For completeness sake, can biblical womanhood be fulfilled outside of marriage? Q. In pursuit of aligning my actions and thoughts with principles of Biblical womanhood in everyday life (not in the context of church leadership), how do I discern when a desire to exercise leadership or authority is coming from my created personality, my spiritual gifts, or from a sinful desire to have dominance? Q. How can I use principles in scripture to approach the concept of household voting and similar patriarchal ideology gaining traction in the far right political movement without contradicting the truth I know about God's plan for male leadership in the household? (I'm thinking about Doug Wilson and the Reformed Evangelical Church or trad wives, etc.) Q. If Adam had not eaten the forbidden fruit presented by Eve, would we have been cursed? Q. Jason did a great job defining extreme worldviews on masculinity and feminism. However, it would be helpful to expound on the dangers of less extreme worldviews. Most of us do not live in the extreme. Q. What about the tradwife vs girlboss debacles that oftentimes lead to division?...There is the male “feminist” vs “macho-man” battle. For the feminist inclined men: They defer to women so much that it breeds isolation. And unfairly burdens them with family responsibility. How does this mar the plan God ordained? For the macho inclined men: They balk at doing the dishes or laundry and demean other men that would take up less ‘manly' pursuits. How does this negate God's plan? These are two less extreme worldviews that most people hold and yet they breed hurt. Q. Does manhood and womanhood have more to do with our intrinsic souls and the way we uniquely bear His image than the daily lived out responsibilities we bear?

Told donor eggs after failed IVF? There is a category of testing that your fertility clinic does not run. We rarely run a stool test and find nothing. The IVF cycle did not work. Maybe it was poor response. Maybe it was canceled before retrieval. Maybe you got embryos and they arrested. Maybe the transfer failed. Your clinic looked at your numbers and told you donor eggs. In this episode, Sarah Clark walks through the gut pattern the Fab Fertile team sees in women who come to us after failed IVF with a donor egg recommendation, and why this pattern changes the picture before the next decision. What this episode covers: H. pylori. One of the most common findings in the women who come to us after failed IVF. It impairs absorption of iron, vitamin B12, and zinc, the nutrients that affect egg quality, thyroid function, and hormone production. It is passed back and forth between partners through saliva. If you have it, there is a strong chance your partner has it too. Parasites, giardia, blastocystis. Common findings. Rarely tested at the fertility clinic. Bacterial overgrowth, including streptococcus. Fungal overgrowth and dysbiosis. The reason chasing an anti-candida diet without testing moves you in circles. Elevated calprotectin. A signal of gut inflammation, often present in women with IBD, Crohn's, colitis, and women with no formal diagnosis. Elevated zonulin. A marker of intestinal permeability. The pattern we see after rounds of antibiotics, sinus infections, UTIs, birth control, and high stress. Why this matters before a donor egg decision: H. pylori impairs iron absorption. Ferritin reads low or low-normal. The clinic says iron is fine because the lab range starts around 15. The fertility-optimized range is closer to 50. Iron is foundational to egg quality. The oxygen carrying capacity to your follicles depends on it. B12 affects methylation, the process your body uses to produce the co-factors needed for egg maturation. Zinc affects ovulation and progesterone production. Chronic gut inflammation affects ovarian response to stimulation, implantation, and miscarriage risk. When your clinic looks at a canceled cycle, arrested embryos, or a failed transfer and recommends donor eggs, they are responding to the outcome. They are not asking what is driving the outcome. This episode is for the woman sitting with a donor egg recommendation who is not ready to agree before she understands what was actually evaluated. Next steps: Access the free guide: What Your Clinic Missed. It walks through the markers we review before a donor egg recommendation, including the thyroid panel, the iron panel with the fertility target, the gut testing your REI does not order, the inflammatory markers, and the male side.

Jeremy Zakis discusses the onset of a "super El Niño" weather pattern impacting both the United States and Australia. While currently experiencing unusually wet and cold conditions in New South Wales, Australia is preparing for catastrophic drought and bushfires by December. The discussion highlights differences in fire management between California's forced evacuations and Australia's choice-based approach, emphasizing the danger of combustible eucalyptus trees near homes. Additionally, the weather has generated massive surf swells at Bondi Beach and unexpected early snowfall in the Southern Highlands and Victoria, signaling a potentially intense winter season ahead.

What if the real breakthrough in your life isn't about doing more, but finally letting go of what's been holding you back from becoming who you already are? In this mashup episode, I brought together some of the most insightful minds I know to talk about something deeper than success. We're talking about transformation at the identity level. Dr. Caroline Leaf breaks down how your thoughts are literally shaping your brain and your future, and how taking control of your mind is the first step toward taking control of your life. Jim Kwik reinforces that by showing you how upgrading your thinking patterns and mental habits can unlock levels of performance you didn't even know were available to you. This isn't surface level motivation. This is about rewiring who you believe you are. But it doesn't stop there. Brooks Laich and Julianne Hough open up about the internal battles we all face when we're chasing growth while still trying to heal. They share what it really looks like to confront your past, embrace vulnerability, and step into a more authentic version of yourself. Because the truth is, you can't build a great life on top of a version of you that you haven't made peace with yet. Real strength comes from doing that inner work, even when it's uncomfortable. Then you'll hear from Jamie Kern Lima and Stephen Scoggins, who both share powerful stories about overcoming self-doubt and finally believing they were worthy of success. That voice in your head telling you that you're not enough is not the truth. It's conditioning. And once you learn to challenge it, everything in your life begins to change. Awareness is the first step to taking your power back and removing the obstacles that have been quietly stealing your dreams. And what I love about this entire conversation is how Erwin McManus ties it all together. He reminds us that your life is not meant to be lived small or safe. You were created to become something extraordinary, but that requires courage. It requires stepping into uncertainty and choosing growth over comfort again and again. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is not talent. It's the willingness to evolve. This episode is about identity, healing, and stepping into your true potential. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're capable of more but not sure how to get there, this is the conversation you need right now. You don't need to become someone new. You need to remove what's been holding you back from being who you already are. Key Takeaways: How your thoughts are shaping your brain and your future, and how to take control of them Why upgrading your mindset is the fastest path to unlocking higher performance The role vulnerability plays in healing and building deeper connections How to break free from self-doubt and finally believe in your worth The hidden obstacles that silently hold you back from your dreams Why becoming your best self requires courage, growth, and stepping into uncertainty How to stop chasing external validation and start building internal confidence

What if the sacrifices you make aren't actually about service... but identity? In this episode of Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler breaks down the dangerous trap many men fall into: building their entire identity around suffering, responsibility, and sacrifice. Drawing from philosophy, psychology, and personal experience, Ryan explores how men unconsciously become martyrs - believing their worth is tied to how much pain they can endure. From Carl Jung's concept of the persona and shadow, to Stoic philosophy and Sartre's idea of "bad faith," this episode challenges men to ask a difficult question: Are you sacrificing for something... or sacrificing as something?   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - The Question That Changed Everything 01:05 - Becoming "The Responsible One" 03:35 - The Persona Men Build 05:35 - When Suffering Becomes Identity 06:45 - The Trap of Proving Your Worth 07:20 - Sartre and "Bad Faith" 09:20 - The Mindset of the Martyr 10:40 - Stoicism and Virtuous Suffering 12:15 - Why Men Perform Sacrifice 13:20 - Carl Jung and the Shadow 15:15 - The Hidden Patterns of Martyrdom 16:00 - Keeping Score in Relationships 17:10 - Why Martyrs Refuse Help 18:50 - Resentment Disguised as Dedication 21:05 - "I Had No Choice" 22:15 - Why Nobody Loves a Martyr 24:05 - Martyrdom vs Purpose 25:05 - The Story Your Kids Learn From You 26:15 - Losing Yourself in Responsibility 27:30 - How to Break the Pattern 28:00 - Name the Performance 28:50 - Reclaim Your Sovereignty 29:55 - The Boy Still Carrying the Weight 31:20 - Conscious vs Compulsive Sacrifice 32:10 - Building Identity Beyond Suffering 33:20 - A Man Who Knows Who He Is 34:35 - The Epictetus Quote 35:20 - Learning to Put the Weight Down 36:10 - Suffering With Purpose 37:00 - Final Thoughts on Martyrdom 37:45 - Share This With Another Man Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

Government pilots are reporting objects that accelerate without propulsion, vanish into the ocean, and move between dimensions like they don't belong to our physics. What's strange is that an ancient Hebrew manuscript described the exact same behavior, and named the beings responsible, listed their leader, and recorded the location where they entered our world. What if the UFO phenomenon was never a mystery — just a memory we forgot how to read? In this episode, Lance Wallnau connects the dots between today's UAP disclosure and Genesis 6 — drawing on the scholarship of the late Michael Heiser, the Book of Enoch, and the Septuagint to reveal what the first-century church already understood about interdimensional beings, the Watchers, and the Nephilim. And the detail that will stop you cold: Jesus didn't randomly choose a mountain for the Transfiguration. He went to the exact peak where 200 angels swore their oath — and reversed what they did there. In this episode:

What does it look like to grow a quilt pattern business when you lean fully into your roots and design what you genuinely love? In this episode of the Craft To Career Podcast, Helene of Scandi Quilts shares how her business has grown since taking the Quilt Pattern Writing Course.

In this conversation, you'll hear: How Helene found her Scandinavian niche and why it has resonated with quilters The shifts she made after the Quilt Pattern Writing Course that started moving the needle How she approaches on-brand photography for her patterns and social content The little details and unique elements she adds to her photos to make them feel like Scandi Quilts What's working for her email list and pattern sales right now Her honest take on what it takes to grow a pattern business one step at a time Whether you're just starting to think about your brand or you're ready to refine the niche you already have, Helene's story is a beautiful reminder that the most sustainable businesses are often the ones built around what you love most.

Welcome to Fan Favorite Fridays — a replay series where I reshare the most-loved episodes from The Art Coaching Club podcast, especially for newer listeners or longtime fans who want a meaningful re-listen.

Lian and hypnotherapist and changework facilitator James Tripp on where pattern-based change meets its ceiling, what Jungian individuation and NLP have to say to each other, and why the most resistant clients may be the ones most in need of a reconnection to soul. James Tripp is an internationally recognised authority in the fields of self development, personal mastery and generative changework. Coming from a diverse background including philosophy, music, martial arts, movement culture and NLP, James is also the developer of the Hypnosis Without Trance approach to hypnotic facilitation as well as author of the critically acclaimed book of the same title. In his one-to-one work, James works with individuals looking to become better adapted in consistently creating outcomes they value and living lives they love. Since turning professional in 2007 his clients have included artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs and business creators, c-suite executives, actors and performers, frontline services operatives, medical doctors, writers, special forces operatives and military veterans. In this episode, Lian and James begin with "doomer optimism," a genuine belief that radical change is not only inevitable but potentially the very thing that makes us more alive and more human. They look at what it costs people to build a life around patterns that are functional in the world but out of resonance with who they truly are, and why that gap, which might show up as numbness, burnout, or a vague sense that something's missing, tends to compound under pressure. From there the conversation moves into territory that doesn't always make it into change-work: soul, and what it takes to bring that word into a room full of police officers without losing them, and why, in James' experience, even the most practical people tend to respond when someone gives them permission to look in that direction. There's something here about nourishment rather than healing, about arcs of becoming rather than things to fix, and about where ancient ways of knowing, shamanism, Taoism, the Kabbalah, still carry genuine usefulness in a world that has largely forgotten them. Listen if you've been doing this work, in yourself or with others, long enough to sense that changing our patterns is only part of the story. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show.

In Part 1 of her Listening to Yourself series, Lesley Logan unpacks what intuition actually is and why so many of us struggle to hear it. Drawing on personal stories and current research, she explores how subconscious pattern recognition, past experiences, and inner calm shape the way our gut speaks to us. She also names the noise that drowns it out: fear, trauma, social pressure, and over-reliance on logic. This episode is a grounded reset for anyone who's lost trust in their inner voice. If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

It is built on learned experience and subconscious pattern recognition, meaning it can be biased or inaccurate. New situations, additionally high stress, societal pressure and logical over-analytical thinking, often drown out inner quiet knowing. Lesley Logan 0:19  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:01  All right, Be It babe. Hi. We're gonna have a really fun series for you, two episodes. I know, isn't it fun? I certainly hope so. So if you're new to the Be It pod. Normally, in the past, we always had an interview on Tuesdays and a recap on Thursdays. And after five years of doing that, I talked to so many people, I've had so many requests on topics that sometimes it's hard just find a guest who wants to talk about that for like, 20 minutes, right? And so I thought it'd be fun to take some of the topics that you guys have been requesting and then do some deep dive research myself, share them with you, and then we can have other guests come on after that that kind of dovetail into that topic. And so we have a great episode coming out next week, that's all about listening to your body and what it's telling you and healing yourself. And so that led me to going, like, can everyone listen to their intuition? Like, do we all have it? Is it easy to listen to yourself? And so I don't know, let's, let's talk about it, right? I think, as someone who's an Aquarius, who's in her head all the time, I was like, is it, is talking to myself as an Aquarius with ADHD in my head all the time, the same as intuition? And the more I thought about it, the more I realized, like, I don't think so. I think that's just like self-talk. But what we'll see, what the research says in just a second. But I will also say, like, I can think of certain times where, like, there was a very clear voice that came through in my life about what I should be doing next. And I remember going, that is such a weird thing to hear or say or think, and so that's why I feel like it's not the same as, like just talking to yourself. I think there's like a clear voice that cuts through and it's like, hey, hold on. Pay attention to this. I'll tell you a couple of them. Lesley Logan 2:38  One, the voice that I heard in my head when I was in a Pilates class, and this had been in 2007, I did Pilates for a couple of years at that point, and I was, like, it was probably around April or May of 2007 and because I moved into a couple months later. So actually, no, in my mind it must have beenJune, because I, like, was such a quick turnaround, like 30 days. So it must have been June. So I was in a Pilates class, and I heard my voice go, I don't like living here, in the Pilates class, I don't like living here. And I remember going, what a weird thing to say because the truth is, like, consciously, I love living where I live. I live by the beach. Who wouldn't wnat to do that? I've been living by the beach for almost seven years. At that point, like the one of the luckiest people, I had the greatest job. And so for me to say I don't like living here, was kind of like a big thought to have, and that that thought later that day, when I went to work and I picked up the phone and somebody was like, hey, Lesley. She had my same job at a different location in L.A. in Santa Monica, so it was also by the beach. And she said, hey Lesley, she's like, I put my two-week notice in, and it was like, my my mind was like, remember the thing that I heard, and my mind goes, oh, I'm gonna put in for your I'm gonna put in transfer for your job, right? And so then I so that was one moment where, like, the intuition was just so clear for me, for like, what I need to do and how I need to change my life. Another time that I can share with you about, like, listening to my intuition is one of my clients. So two, two parts. So in December of 2019, Brad and I were in Vegas, kicking off our very first tour ever. And we were at Vesta Coffee Shop. It's on Casino Center Drive, shout out to our neighbors, and I've never been there. We're waiting for our pop up to start. And we were having coffee, and Brad goes, I could live here. Said that, right? And I looked around, and I was like, I know it feels like the weird side of Melrose, like the place in town, like we've always want to kind of live at and we didn't have it, and it didn't even feel weird to even think because we loved L.A. So like, it's kind of just a little weird that, like he would say that, and I'm like, we love L.A. So like, why would I go, yeah, you know? And so then I gathered some information. Later that day, I asked my brother, like, do people live here who don't like work in the industry here? And he's like, oh, yeah, you know. And so put that aside. Like Brad said that thing, I had this feeling like, oh. And I got some more information. Then, two weeks after shutdowns and Covid, so we're in April, one of my clients said, hey, this company I work for is going to be working remote until June of 2021, so I think you should break your lease, cancel it, put yourself in storage like you know. And my immediate thought when she said that, my brain was like, space is going to become a commodity. Brad and I need to move to Vegas now, right? And so that was just like this intuition moment that I could then take action on and then, and on June 1st we moved. So I think that, like, it really does require a little bit of information and then trust in your gut, but that's what I think. I'd love to know what you think, and here's what the research says. So let's see if we think I'm spot on, or if you agree with me or agree with the research. Lesley Logan 5:40  So I have two things for today's episode. Today's episode is like, what is intuition? And then also, why is it difficult for us to hear or trust our intuition? Thursday's episode is going to be on tools to actually hear your intuition better. Okay? So that's the breakdown of our lineup. So, and then the sources for this information are always gonna be in our show notes. So, what is intuition? Intuition isn't magic or fantasy. Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge or understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning or analytical thought, often described as a gut feeling. It acts as an inner voice that processes information, past experiences and pattern recognition on a subconscious level to guide decisions. So you can see from my two examples, like I had to have information. You know, like I I had been living in the place where I've been living for a while, and I've been doing Pilates, and then I had this thought, and then when I went to this to the next part of my day, I got more information. It was like, I can act on that gut feeling, right? Brad and I liked Vegas. Thought about moving here in two or three years, so in 2022 or 2023 and then again, got some information, and my gut feeling is like, oh, I can take action on that. So it's just, it's, it's kind of like the same thing that people could say that luck is the intersection of preparation meets opportunity. I do think that the more I read about this intuition stuff, it's like you have a connection to your thoughts, and then you get, it meets opportunity and information, and then the two connect together and for you to take an action on that, no one else would see, because they're not in you, and they don't, they have different thoughts that get the same information, so it's gonna have a different reaction, right? So key aspects of intuition, there's a subconscious processing. It's not magical, but rather the brain's rapid, automatic analysis of previous experiences, of stored knowledge. So your brain is as a fiel cabinet, and it's got the stuff going on, and then all of a sudden it's a rapid automatic like looking through the files and going, boom, hold on, what? Check this out. Listen to this. Right? Lesley Logan 7:32  Pattern recognition. It functions the mental shortcut, helping individuals recognize patterns in complex situations. One of the things that I joke about, and I feel like several of you listeners have agreed that you have the same thing is like when the shoe drops, I have such clarity of the next thing to go, like the next thing to do, right? So, for example, we were on a plane coming home from Cambodia on March 14th 2020, and I already knew L.A. had shut down. We had heard that the day before, and so we had sent our dog walker to a grocery store, like I just sent her a bunch of money. I was like, please get any groceries you can. Good luck. Stay safe, right? And we're on this plane, and I'm getting all these emails of all these people who are trying to cancel contracts I have for the year. And I told Brad, I said, the Pilates industry does not know how to teach online, and every single person has to go online yesterday, so when I get home, I'm going to teach the people who are in our Profitable Pilates agency membership, how to teach online, I'm going to to do that tomorrow. So I like set it up. I told everyone at this time, at this day, it's your part of your membership. I'm teaching you. And then I had a public one that I charge for for five days later. So I knew based on just how much of my life experience as a teacher that was teaching online, and then so I knew what I had been doing, but most people are not trained to do that, and so it was this like mental shortcut that I was able to go, this is a complex situation. Hold on. I know how to teach this. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna let it go. I'm gonna do it right now. It's like, it was this like urge that I had to get it done. I'm really proud of what we did and how we saved so many people's businesses because of that quick mental shortcut. Pattern Recognition, right? Lesley Logan 9:07  Speed and emotion, intuitive thoughts often appear quickly in consciousness accompanied by an emotional or physical sensation. Right? Speed and emotion, intuitive thoughts often appear quickly in consciousness accompanied by an emotion or physical sensation. Bridge between mind and logic. It bridges the gap between the conscious and unconscious mind operating beneath layers of logic. And I think that is really important, because I believe that in hindsight, we can see how logical some of these gut instincts, intuition moments are, but in the actual moment it it seems illogical if you were to tell people, like, when I came home and told Brad, I was like, space is gonna be a commodity, we need to buy a house right now. Luckily he just, like, had been on board with my crazy thoughts already, but a lot of people were like, you shouldn't be spending any money right now. There's so much uncertain. Like, the logical part would be like, don't buy a house right now, right? So it really does bridge the gap between these two. Lesley Logan 10:00  How it works. Intuition relies on tacit knowledge, which information, which is information gathered over time that is not consciously recalled. It's particularly effective in situations where quick, high stake decisions are required, such as detecting danger, assessing a person's trustworthiness. While powerful, it can be influenced by biases such as past negative experiences. That's important, your intuition can be a little flawed based on your past experience. Experiences, so it's always important that you are growing and learning. Because there's two books I want to that my brain just recalled that I feel like, oh my gosh, we have to talk about these right now. One of these books is called The Gift of Fear. It's by Gavin de Becker, and the book when I read it, so I will say I've read it with a diff in a different place in my life, but when I read It, there's an interesting part about how your gut will tell you, like something, like instinct about something, but then logic will tell you something completely different. And so then you'll lean on logic when your gut instinct was to, like, not trust the person, or not trust the thing. Now with that said, if you have a past experience in the subconscious that can actually affect you reading your intuition a little incorrectly, let me explain that there's. Oh the other book. Here we go. So there's the book What Happened to You, and that is with a great doctor and Oprah, and it talks about how your brain is developing. So as a child, if someone had a special scent or smell or voice or something like that, it will attribute that scent or smell or voice response to some and let's say that person was a negative person in your life, it will attribute that. So if you smell that your your gut instinct might be to feel fear and unsafe when that person has nothing to do with that, and that's in the present moment that has nothing to do with that. And but you're you're you're misreading based on your past experience. So you do want to make sure that you're you, if you have any of any traumas in your life, that you're not necessarily using that trauma to cast a judgment on somebody else you don't know. But so definitely, The Gift of Fear, read What Happened to You, if that's some if you have anything like that, if you smell something and it instantly makes you want to go, oh my god, I gotta leave this place. I would definitely explore that so you can retrain that, because it could be a shitty person. But if it's not, we don't want your intuition to lead to the wrong way. Okay, the third book, I didn't finish this book, I will say, and I have no idea if this author ages well in life, and we're not going to go down that road, but, but in it's called Getting the Love You Want. And I had a lot of parents who were couples read it, and they were a really in problematic relationships. So I don't know why I took the recommendation, but I was in a different relationship, and I was like, okay, I want to read this with you. And of course, big red flag, they did not want to read it with me. But one of the things about in the first chapter of this book, which is, like, the most important part that kind of goes with what I was just talking about in What Happened to You is that when we get into relationships, we fill all of our holes up, right holes with an H, and we fill all of our holes up, and then we project the person that we're with filled those holes up, but we actually just did it ourselves. And then when the relationship is no longer new, and we are tired of filling our holes, we stop doing that, and then we blame the other person for change. Person for changing when really we were the ones that were doing that. But in that book, it talks about how oftentimes we cast judgments on people based on subconscious thoughts from early childhood with different people in our family. So we either trust someone because they seem like their energy, seems like your grandmother, who you loved, or they seem like your your stepfather, who you didn't, right? So, so definitely worth if you have, if you're having a hard time trusting yourself, or you are, you feel like you might be misinterpreting based on past experiences, you might want to check those things out. Or, instead of reading the books, just go get some great, wonderful help. Lesley Logan 13:45  Okay, so back to this, how it works. Remember, I'll just repeat myself. Intuition relies on tacit knowledge, which is information gathered over time that is not consciously recalled. It's particularly effective in situations where quick, high stakes decisions are required, such as detecting danger or assessing a person's trustworthiness. While powerful, it can be influenced by biases such as negative past experiences. So definitely, I agree, like I think that intuition isn't something that's like happening all day long, all the time, although it could be, I guess. But for the most of us, we're really like relying on it and like paying attention to it in times of need, when we have to make a quick decision, and that's almost like you get a little more clarity, right, like the mind chatter does stop, so you can actually hear what's important. So we have some examples. So if a soldier or police officer is sensing danger in a seemingly safe environment, though that could be like, where your intuition is like, ooh. Like, why do I feel weird in this place? It's so perfectly wonderful interpersonal feeling an immediate sense of unease or trust regarding a new person, right? You go to a family event, someone brings a friend, and you're like, I do not like this person. I will say, okay, I remember in high school, I always watched Good Morning America. My mom would always find The Today Show, and I was like that, Matt Lauer guy is weird. There's just something about that. Matt Lauer guy I do not like, and she's like, Lesley, you don't even know him. He is a reporter, and I am not. I could not stand the sound of his voice. So then, when I read Ronan Farrow's book, I was like, fucking knew it. I knew it. I knew it, right? Like it's so, so I will say sometimes it's like, it feels illogical to other people, but you might have an immediate sense of unease or trust regarding a new person. And then skill-based, an expert making a split correct decision in a fast paced game or in a professional setting based on deep experiences. You've seen this in the movies, right? You've even done this, right? So this is, as a Pilates instructor, something I try to teach other Pilates instructors is, like, it takes time for your gut to be like, they need this exercise over here, but it doesn't come if you're talking all the time, right? If you constantly are counting for clients, and you're constantly talking the whole time, you can't actually be present enough to see if, like, what's going on, and then you can't hear the intuition saying, I think they should go to this exercise over here. I'll never forget the time that I was watching Jay Grimes teach, and I said, oh, why did you give him that exercise? He was like, I don't know. My gut just said he needed it, right? Like, that's the that's a skill-based one. That's the one I pride myself in having. Lesley Logan 16:00  Okay, so now let's actually talk about why trusting your intuition can be difficult, like why it might be hard to hear when your intuition is talking to you. So trusting your intuition is difficult because it's easily confused with fear, anxiety or past trauma, rather than a purely rational guide. It is built on learned experience and subconscious pattern recognition. Meaning it can be biased or inaccurate new situations. Additionally, high stress, societal pressure, and logical over analytical thinking often drown out inner quiet knowing. So I'll just say, like, I think sometimes we can't hear it because we don't want to, because we know the answer is probably something that's we're doing that's different, you know, like that past person I was with who didn't really read the book. I remember being on the 101 freeway, and I remember thinking, gosh, I wish he would just break up with me. Right? My thought wasn't like, oh, I should break up with him. It would say, would you just break up with me? And then I was like, oh, my god, and I'd have to move and I have to do these things. And like, he's not a bad guy, and, like, on paper, he wasn't. So like, it's really interesting how we can, like, have intuitive thoughts and then, like, because they don't make sense in logic, we kind of, like talk ourselves out of it. Also say, I remember having, I remember this distinct moment where my brain was like, you should just make a left here. And I was like, why would I make a left here, and instead I made a left, where I always make a left, and I was in a head on collision. So, you know, I don't know why I thought that, but I, like, literally, wasn't listening at that time in my life. And so I think it can be, depending on what's going on in your life, it can be hard to listen to those things, or you might not. You might have a series of time of just actually not trusting yourself and the decisions you made. And so then you when your inner intuition is telling you something you haven't you don't have trust there, right? And so I feel that I see that. Lesley Logan 17:46  So here are some other main reasons why it's hard to trust your intuition, confusion with fear and trauma, what feels like a gut feeling is often an emotional reaction based on past trauma, fear or anxiety causing you to overreact. Anxiety often masquerades as intuition, especially when facing new or challenging but harmless situation. So again, I do think if you know that certain things cause you some anxiety or fear, it is absolutely worth go and exploring that with someone who with a professional because what I don't want you to do, and what you take from this episode is that, oh, when I have fear anxiety, it's like, not real, and I should just listen to my intuition that is like, that's not what I want. I actually want you to get some clear, urgent support, so that you can recognize the difference between anxiety and intuition, right? Context dependency. Intuition relies on learned patterns of the past. If you're in a new or unfamiliar situation, your gut may not have the necessary experience to provide accurate guidance, making it unreliable in, for example, on modern, complex scenarios compared to simple, repetitive ones. So like, I think this is where you can if you are in a new situation, a new job, a new totally different thing, maybe, like, you're supposed to fly into JFK, and you end up flying into some other place, and now you're like, it's gonna be really difficult to hear your gut, because your your your intuition, because your brain doesn't have a file for that place, and so it's, it's almost like a lot of noise, right? So then I would just say, like, don't judge yourself for not being able to hear yourself. Your brain is trying to take in the information it needs before it can even pipe in with some intuition. Logical over analysis. The logical sensor in our brain often dominates decision making, dismissing subtle nonverbal or non logical cues. So if you read The Gift of Fear, he talks about how like he was in a restaurant and it smelled like the smell, smelled like Italian. And he was like, oh, Italian. And he's looking at like the name of the restaurant, and it's Italian. But the pictures everywhere are not Italian restaurant pictures. They're they're quite very they're quite different, right? And so his, he knew he like lot, like his intuition, like, Oh my god, look at this. It's onna be a great Italian meal. But then the logic around him was showing that it wasn't Italian. So he's like, oh maybe it's not Italian, so maybe it's it's whatever he thought it was, and I should order this x, y or z, then the menu came as it was fucking Italian, right? So it's really easy for us to talk ourselves out of what we're actually hearing by using logic. And logic can, logic is there for a reason. I'm not bad mouthing it, but sometimes it can lead you astray, and because your gut had is actually picking up on the subtler things that are, that are actually what's going on. Mental noise and stress. High levels of stress, depression or being a state of shock, can distort or block intuitive signals. So you're stressed out right now, my love like, that's why you're not hearing it right. You're not hearing your intuition because you're in a high stress space. So it's not like a meditation a day is going to solve that problem. You might have to do and make other changes, but be kind to yourself. It's gonna be harder to hear. Got a lot going on. Prior failures, past mistakes can make you lose confidence in your own judgment. And I think this is where we have to be really kind to ourselves, because I always believe we fail forward. I really do believe that like making like if you think you made, in air quotes, a bad decision based on something you thought your intuition, and it led you to door number three. Well, my thing is that, you know, if you didn't die, then door number three is not a bad door it's an experience you need to have. Your brain would actually have more information to make better decisions in the future. And so actually, maybe you're supposed to go through door number three, and your intuition was spot on, right? Like, I will absolutely say, like I would not be here talking to you today had I not gone and taken that first Pilates class when my logic noise was saying, do not do that, right? I would not be here today if I had relied on my past failures. Of like, the first time we did Agency, nobody bought it. But now Agency is, like, eight years old and has helped 1000s of businesses. So I would just say like you're gonna fail in life. It doesn't mean you can't trust yourself. It means you had to learn something so that you can have even greater information and success in the future. But just be kind to yourself. Social pressure, the desire to conform to social norms, where fear of judgment can override your internal signals. I think this is really huge. I will tell you right now, my gut was spot on with all my exes, every single one, but especially my last one. I remember my gut was like, this is I think we should let this one go. And people at my job were like, oh my god, he sent flowers. Oh my god, he picked you up for a date. Oh my god, he did these things. And so then I stopped listening to my gut ended up in a five fucking year long relationship. Right when I can tell you right now, within 48 hours, my gut was like, should move on from this. You know. Anyways, that happens, though, because societal pressure and norms can, like, really change your decisions on, on what you're doing, and make you not listen to yourself. Self-sabotage, sometimes self sabotaging behavior disguise itself is the gut feeling to keep you in a comfortable, familiar, but limiting state. So what I will say is, I have many people saying, oh, gosh, I had this obstacle, which means I'm probably not supposed to be doing the thing that I'm doing. And I would say, like, actually, is that it's saying, or is it saying, like, hey, how bad do you want this? Are you going to work a little harder for it? Right? You know what I mean? Like, I think, like, first of all, I think too many people think that things are going to come like, easy for you, just because you have this great idea that it's just going to be easy to do. Nothing is easy to do. We're working on two major projects right now that scare the fuck out of me, if I'm completely honest. And every time I think maybe we shouldn't do it, my gut's like, oh, you're doing it like you you're supposed to do it. Like, talk about, like, that gut instinct where, like, there's that emotional and physical feeling we talked about earlier in the episode. Like, every time I think I'm not going to do it, I actually feel uneasy. And when I think, like, well, I am going to do it. It's like, yeah, because that makes the most sense. So I would just say that, like, it's easy to self-sabotage and stop yourself and call it intuition, because you're feeling an obstacle, but that's not necessarily what's happening. And how do you know if it's self-sabotage or actually a gut intuition? I think you'll have to actually just look back at your past behaviors. Are you doing something you've done in the past? Oh, something's getting really hard, and so you're talking yourself out of it, right? Maybe you have to ask yourself, like, what is the cost of not doing this? Like, you might have to just take a little bit more time and do some journaling, or give yourself a little bit more time. Let me just hang on a little longer. I can always stop this in the future, but let's just, like, take a little bit longer, get a little bit more information. Now that said, sometimes people are so afraid of self-sabotage that they talk themselves into being in jobs longer and relationships longer and other things longer. So I just say like, you know you the best. This is where you have to get honest with yourself, right? So it's because I don't want you to be like, -h, I'm I don't want to self-sabotage if I stick out this thing and I and Lesley said, so no, I just want you to just pay attention to your own patterns and what is going on. Here's the thing, hearing your intuition is difficult because it is a quiet, subtle inner voice that is easily drowned out by loud, racing thoughts, fear and societal demands for logic. It is often hard to distinguish from anxiety or past traumas, which present as urgent, emotional and reactive, rather than calm and steady, like if you are someone who is like feeling the effects of cortisol has had past trauma, has a lot going on in your mind. You're it's you're there's too much uncertainty in your life. I just want you to know if you're having a hard time hearing what to do next, it's, it's because you got, there's a lot going on and there's a lot going on right now. Oh my god. Like logic and society would say, let's not start anything new right now, right? But I will also say that, like, some of the craziest things I did at times were the so uncertain I am, like, sitting in this beautiful house, that people are like, you're crazy to buy a house when, like, you're not even sure what Covid is going to do with your business right now. Now, I also don't want people to go into debt, because it's, my gut says so, like, we have to really make sure that we're, we're making decisions from the right place and sitting with those things. And as you build that up, you might need to take some time and make sure that, like, it's the same answer. You know, you like, start, like, shake a magic eight ball, and you get an answer. You're like, I don't like this answer, and shake it again to get another answer. This is, like, I would say it's the opposite. It's like, maybe, if you're working on trusting your intuition and not self-sabotage or talking yourself out of things or using society's pressures to stick with whatever you're supposed to do, maybe you're looking for the eight ball to say the same thing three days in a row, right? All right. Lesley Logan 26:22  So just a couple, just to go on to that, because I know, I know you my listener. I know you need more information. So here is more information on why it's hard to hear your intuition. So overthinking and noise, overthinking, chronic overthinking. Hello, my chronic overthinkers. I see you. Stress and anxiety create mental noise that drowns out the quiet, subtle whispers of intuition. So if that's you, might want to be taking some time, maybe the habits to try to figure out, like, what do I do with my overthinking thoughts? I am an over thinker at night. Holy frickin moly, it is insanity. So guess what? MoonBrew, extra magnesium, a little extra support from my hormone specialist, and I can overthink in the morning, and then I'm like this. It's too beautiful to overthink right now, right fear, miss it misidentified as intuition. So true intuition feels calm, while fear-based thoughts are loud, urgent and emotional. We often confuse fear or past trauma, for example, needing to protect yourself for intuition. So I think I love that they brought this up, because it's like, how do you know? And as I've just mentioned a few times, it's one thing I'm thinking of doing every time I think about not doing it, it doesn't feel easy. Every time I think about doing it, this is gonna be the hardest thing I've ever done. But there's a calmness, like a confidence to my body that I feel, right? Over reliance on logic, so society priorities is data, facts and rational thinking, leading us to dismiss gut feelings that lack immediate logical explanation. So just notice, like, look, I do believe in data over dogma, but just kind of notice when you're letting other people's need for data determine what you how you make your decisions, that's their need, not yours. Lack of inner calm, intuition requires a grounded, present state. You're overwhelmed, ungrounded, or disconnected from your body, you cannot hear the physical sensations that often accompany intuitive nudges right. So like, I will just say, if you are not in an inner calm state, you should not be making any decisions. One, you're not gonna hear your intuition. But two, like, we all make poor decisions. Date terrible people pick big fights when we're not in inner calm state. So you might want to figure out things that help you with that. Lack of trust and self-doubt, low self-confidence or history of dismissing your own feelings can make it difficult to trust your inner voice when it does speak. I feel that I get you. I've been there. Lesley Logan 28:27  So my love. I hope this gave you some like kind of thought and some insight about, like, intuition versus inner chatter, versus why it's hard. I hope you know like it's totally normal to feel like you have lost your inner voice, or that you don't have that trust there. I think that there's just so much going on, and I don't know that our intuition can really, like, compete with, like, the scroll, the instant scroll, of so many things that are going on and and, you know, the time I'm recording this, like, you know, the President is, like, threatening to be at war. But also, you know, that's a distraction for the files. And then there's this happening over here, and then the hockey team just bringing up what every single female, like, always feels is happening all of the time. And you're just like, oh my god, and I have to go to work, and I have to fill this thing out, and I have to figure out how I'm gonna make this big decision. And so I just want you to know, like, there is a lot going on, so it can be hard. And I would highly encourage you to figure out, maybe brainstorm, go back to the habits episode and brainstorm all the different things that you could do to try to just like, get a habit or a thing that you could do to help you calm your nervous system so that then you can make decisions from a better place, and just remember that taking all that information is helping you with your intuition. Your intuition relies on information that you have filed away. Hard to have intuition on something you've never done or experienced or know, right? So I think you're amazing. I really hope that you are into this series. So Thursday, I'll give you the tools for listening and hearing it better, and then next week, we're going to have a really great guest who used her inner knowing and inner guidance to help heal herself. So I think that there's there's so much that our intuition and our inner guidance can do if we're listening. And so I hope this gets you started. Lesley Logan 30:18  If you have a topic that you want me to discuss, or if you have something related to this that you want to share with us, you can send it to the beitpod.com/questions.
