Maybe the winning is in the quitting?   In this quick pep talk episode, be reminded of the power in letting go, sometimes disguised as 'quitting'.  And because 'to quit' is usually more frowned upon, this could be THE hang up you're in and the thing that's keeping you in something that is no longer aligned, no longer serving... Deep breaths and ... release ... it's time!_______________________________________________REBEKKA'S LINKS :WORK WITH REBEKKA / 1:1 ALIVENESS JOURNEY :: START HERE

Why do you keep slipping back into old habits even after a great week?In this episode of The Queen of Pep Talks, Jessica breaks down why self-sabotage isn't really about discipline — it's about familiarity. She explains why your brain craves what's familiar over what's healthy, why every new version of you feels uncomfortable at first, and why growth isn't about becoming someone new but uncovering who you already are underneath fear.Jessica also shares how identity changes one decision at a time, and why the question to ask isn't "did I mess up," but "who am I becoming." If you've ever wondered why good habits don't stick, this episode will change how you think about change itself.Watch the full episode on YouTube.00:00 Welcome back 00:57 Realization #1: Your brain loves familiar, not happy 02:38 Realization #2: Why every new version of you feels uncomfortable 04:28 Realization #3: You're not becoming someone new, you're uncovering her 06:16 Realization #4: Identity changes one decision at a time 08:50 Realization #5: Stop asking "did I mess up," start asking "who am I becoming"#SelfSabotage #MindsetShift #PersonalGrowth

“Did Jesus really live, die, and rise from the dead? " Using ancient sources, historical records, and reasoned logic, Jesus the Evidence invites readers and listeners to explore the evidence and draw their own conclusions. Here on PEP Talk, we speak to the honest, no-nonsense Derek McIntyre about his own journey through the evidence and how he is bringing his findings to churches across the country.Derek McIntyre comes from a science/engineering background and was a resolute agnostic until his early 40's. He came to Christianity when he discovered the wealth of compelling evidence pointing to Jesus being the Son of God. He now shares this evidence with others through the Jesus: The Evidence website, presentation and booklet. Derek is also a Street Pastor in Glasgow and helps at Glasgow City Mission.

You know how you're always the one taking the photo? Never in it. You tell yourself you'll get in the pictures once you lose the weight, or fit the clothes, or just feel a little better about your body. Here's the hard truth: there's no magic day when it gets easier. If you don't do the body image work, your brain will still find something to pick apart — even after you lose weight. In this episode, I'm giving you a pep talk about getting in the photos of your own life. We'll talk about why summer makes body judgment louder, why the memory matters way more than the stomach roll, and why your body is worthy of being in the picture right now. If you've spent years hiding from the camera, this one's for you.  

Feeling behind on career milestones? Marriage? Home ownership? But what if you're not behind at all? It's almost Erika's 37th birthday and she reflects on the imaginary timelines we have in our heads and how to finally let them go. Brought to you By: The Sonar Network https://thesonarnetwork.com/

Baywatch icon Erika Eleniak joins Steve Kmetko on Still Here, Hollywood for a raw, honest conversation about fame, body image, and reinvention. Before she became one of the most recognizable faces of 90s television as lifeguard Shauni McClain on Baywatch, Erika stole hearts as the babysitter in Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. In this episode, she opens up about being personally cast by Spielberg at age 12, the real story behind that iconic E.T. kiss scene, and what it was actually like filming Baywatch's famous slow-motion beach runs in freezing January water. Erika also gets candid about her Playboy pictorial and the career obstacles it created, her decision to walk away from Baywatch after just two seasons, working alongside Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey on Under Siege, her ongoing struggle with body image, and how becoming a single mother reshaped everything she thought she knew about resilience, fame, and what she wants next. Whether you grew up watching Baywatch reruns or you're discovering Erika Eleniak's career for the first time, this episode is a candid, unfiltered look behind the red swimsuit and the Hollywood machine.

Louise Bourgeois Part 2!Mandolyn Wilson Rosen is back in her Book Talks seat to help me dissect a new delicious art book: Drawings & Observations by Louise Bourgeois with Lawrence Rinder.

Whether it's a young person encountering the first challenges to their childhood faith, or a curious person anonymously ordering a Bible online, it can be easy to be thrown off track by stories of slavery, animal sacrifice or other tricky topics found within the Bible. Or if we're in a position to speak about the Bible to others, what happens when we're asked a question about these potential pitfalls? Here on PEP Talk, we find out about a new book by Andrew Ollerton that takes the Bible on its own terms to help address the toughest topics. Andrew Ollerton is a theologian, pastor, author and presenter who makes complex ideas simple and relevant. Andrew lives in Wales and regularly speaks at conferences, festivals and churches and films video content on locations around the world. Andrew recently developed a new edition of The Bible Course with Bible Society and published a new book called God's Book: An Honest Look at the Bible's 7 Toughest Topics. Andrew also works closely with the explorer Bear Grylls. They've published a Bible called the NIV for Young Explorers, produced a TV series in Israel and Andrew recently helped Bear develop a brilliant new book called The Greatest Story Ever Told.

This week's episode is a pep talk you didn't know you needed: a full dissection of the "I don't have enough time" story (and an honest look at why high achievers keep telling it to themselves even when it's working against them.)On my recent trip to Italy, time somehow stretched into what felt like a month. That observation sent me down a rabbit hole on the science of time perception, the psychology of limiting beliefs, and the real reason we stay stuck in the not-enough-time spiral — and how to get out of it for good.In this episode, we talk about:Why "I don't have enough time" isn't a fact, it's a story, and a costly one to your successThe expectation effect: why your brain works overtime to confirm whatever you believe about timeHow your brain hides or reveals hidden pockets of time in your day (and how to shift it)A journaling exercise to uncover what your "I don't have enough time" belief is really keeping you safe fromA 30-day story-shift experiment to start rewiring how you experience timeWhy I hate time blocking (plus the "Core Four" approach I use instead!)Pop this one on when you're white-knuckling your to-do list, convinced there's just not enough hours in the day. This episode is your reminder: Time isn't real at the end of the day. It's all perception.Listen to Similar Episodes: (TAKE OUT FOR EMAIL) 243.

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday, an episode of Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones shares a refreshing perspective on summer parenting and the pressure many parents feel to make every moment magical.Melissa explores how unrealistic expectations can leave parents feeling overwhelmed and why some of the most meaningful childhood memories are often found in the ordinary moments of everyday life. She offers encouragement to let go of comparison, embrace a slower pace, and focus on connection instead of creating the "perfect" summer.Tune in to discover:Why it's okay to let go of unrealistic summer expectationsHow ordinary moments often become the most meaningful memoriesWays to reduce the pressure to create a picture-perfect summerSimple reminders to focus on connection over perfectionThis episode is a reminder that your children don't need an extraordinary summer—they simply need you, your presence, and the everyday moments you'll share together.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

In this episode, I'm challenging one of the biggest assumptions people make about life success, timing, and what it really means to be "behind."

If you're someone with MS who knows exercise matters but can't seem to stay consistent… this episode is your pep talk. We've all been there. You start the week with the best intentions, then by Wednesday the negative self-talk creeps in: "I'm too tired." "It's not working." "What's the point?" Sound familiar? Here's the thing, exercise is one of the most powerful tools we have for improving mobility, strength, and independence with multiple sclerosis (MS). But the way you talk to yourself about it? That matters just as much as the workout itself. In this episode, I'm breaking down: → Why mindset is the missing piece in most MS exercise routines → The common thoughts that keep you stuck before you even start → How to shift your mental habits so they support your goals instead of sabotaging them → Practical strategies for building an exercise plan that actually fits your life → Phrases you can borrow to boost your motivation on the hard days This isn't about pretending everything is fine or forcing toxic positivity. It's about honest, research-backed strategies for people with MS who want to feel stronger, move better, and believe in what's possible again. You've got this.

This week we are giving Manifestors a pep talk! We dive deep into the unique gifts, challenges, and the purpose of the Manifestor energy type, offering encouragement, validation, and practical wisdom for living in alignment. We explore what it really means to be impactful, why Manifestors are designed to initiate change, and how informing others can create more ease, support, and freedom. Whether you're a Manifestor yourself or love someone who is, this conversation will help you better understand the power of authentic self-expression, courage, and honoring your natural cycles of energy and rest. Key Takeaways: How a Manifestor's impact happens naturally, and why you don't need to try harder or do more—your energy is already designed to initiate and inspire others. Why informing is a gift, and how sharing what's going on inside of you helps others understand you, support you, and get on board with your vision. How to use your not-self theme of anger as a signal that something may be out of alignment with your truth. Why collaboration and support are essential parts of a Manifestor's process, and why you're not meant to do everything alone. How rest can be productive, and why honoring your need for rest allows your creativity and inspiration to flow more powerfully.
