This episode of Moonbeaming is proudly sponsored by Clear Channels, the Moon Studio's upcoming newsletter and channeling course on May 30th and 31st. Learn more HERE Today we're sharing a very special ‘minisode' from the beloved Moon Studio ‘Secret Studies: Intuition' course. Sarah recorded this episode after a common feeling began emerging among the group… the feeling of being “behind.” Behind on the material. Behind in life. Behind compared to who you thought you'd be by now. In this deeply compassionate teaching, Sarah explores what may actually be underneath that feeling and why growth often brings up discomfort. On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear: Why feeling "behind" may actually be a protective response The hidden relationship between shame and safety How we create fantasies about our future selves instead of taking action Why growth, healing, and intuition development are never linear How self-criticism can become a familiar nervous system pattern What grief has to do with personal transformation Why change often brings up resistance, fear, and doubt The difference between fantasizing about change and practicing it How to build trust in yourself through small, consistent actions Why you're probably doing better than you think This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, self-critical, or convinced they're falling behind in life.

Shoot Me A Quick Text & Introduce YourselfWhat lies have you accepted about yourself?Maybe you've told yourself you're lazy, unorganized, not smart enough, or lacking the skills to succeed.

What if they're simply stories you've repeated so often that they've become part of your identity?In this Reset Wednesday episode, we're challenging the labels, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs that keep us stuck. Your past may explain where those thoughts came from, but it doesn't have to determine where you're going.

In this installment of the Mussar Masterclass on the Gate of Slander, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe focuses on the practical path to overcoming harmful speech. The Orchot Tzaddikim teaches that someone seeking to repent from gossip, flattery, falsehood, idle chatter, and slander must build a strong protective fence around themselves. The first step is distancing oneself from environments and friendships that normalize negative speech. Just as bad habits are contagious, positive habits are cultivated by surrounding oneself with people who speak words of Torah, wisdom, and fear of Heaven. Lasting change begins with changing one's environment. The episode emphasizes the extraordinary power of silence and intentional speech. Rabbi Wolbe explains that a person who wishes to elevate themselves must reduce unnecessary conversation, increase Torah study, and become mindful of every word they utter. Speech is not merely communication—it is one of the most powerful forces available to a human being. Our words can heal, inspire, encourage, and elevate, or they can destroy relationships, reputations, and even entire communities. The class concludes with a memorable parable about a man who obtained milk from a lioness to heal a king. In a dream, the various organs of the body argued about which was most important, until the tongue demonstrated that it possessed the power to bring either life or death. The lesson echoes King Solomon's famous teaching: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Rabbi Wolbe leaves listeners with a powerful reminder that mastering one's speech is among the greatest forms of self-mastery and spiritual growth. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 2, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 3, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Today’s episode is a special rebroadcast of one of my all-time favorite conversations on the B.rad Podcast! Every so often, I like to revisit episodes that made a profound impact on me personally and delivered tremendous value to listeners, and this conversation with Thais Gibson is absolutely one of those episodes. I am so pleased to introduce a fantastically awesome show with Thais Gibson, creator of the Personal Development School! When Thais first sent me an overview of what she wanted to discuss, I thought, "Sure, let's talk about it." But I have to tell you, I was completely blown away. This became one of my favorite shows I have ever recorded. Listeners, I truly believe this episode has the potential to be life-changing. I know it was for me. It probably helped that I unknowingly became the guinea pig for much of the conversation. What you'll hear is essentially a live coaching session where Thais demonstrates her expertise and methods using real-life examples from my own experiences—particularly the disconnect between my stated goals and some of my behavior patterns. We focused on the pursuit of wealth and financial security, an area where I occasionally feel frustrated or deficient, perhaps because of subconscious patterns operating beneath the surface. Thais explains the causes of self-sabotage and how to reprogram limiting thought patterns. One of the most fascinating parts of the discussion is when she explains that we're operating from our conscious mind only about three to five percent of the time. If you're someone who listens to podcasts, reads books, and continually educates yourself, your conscious mind may be doing a great job acquiring the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. But your subconscious needs and programming can still interfere and pull you off course. So in this episode, it's time for Brad to get processed, dig deep, and explore what's really happening when self-sabotage kicks in. Thais Gibson is a counselor, bestselling author of Learning Love, and co-founder of the Personal Development School. She holds a Ph.D. and more than 13 certifications in modalities including CBT, NLP, somatic experiencing, Internal Family Systems, shadow work, and hypnosis. After nearly a decade running a successful private practice, she founded The Personal Development School—an online learning platform designed to provide a more accessible and authentic way for people to transform their lives. In fact, after we finished this recording, I enrolled immediately. I encourage you to visit her website and explore what she offers. She offers a test run where you can see what it’s all about—check it out at personaldevelopmentschool.com. Enjoy this special rebroadcast with Thais Gibson! TIMESTAMPS: People may not always be aware that they are self-sabotaging because it usually occurs at a subconscious level. [00:53] Your conscious mind is responsible for roughly 3 to 5 percent of all of your beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions or decisions. Your subconscious is responsible for 95 to 97 percent. [04:48] We all have subconscious personality needs. [07:54] Thais uses Brad as an example to unpack what needs it relates to. She asks first, what does he do in his spare time? [09:34] Where does he spend his money? What does he like to learn about? [12:10] Our subconscious mind is also the host of all of our limiting beliefs. [19:46] There is a tool for how to pull up what your limiting beliefs are. [21:42] We're scared of something that's hidden in the periphery at a subconscious level of mind [24:29] Reconditioning is a tool for reprogramming. [26:25] Thais identifies characteristics of people who have been in a relationship with a narcissist. [30:41] Look for the things that trigger you. Plan your limiting belief and use its opposite. [33:02] Step one: What is your core belief and its opposite? Step two: what are 10 memories to support? They can be recent memories, really old memories, doesn't matter. 10 memories to support this new idea about yourself. I am, in fact, good enough. Step three: listen back for 21 days. [34:17] When thinking about financial security, many people struggle with their subconscious as in feeling they don’t deserve it or some parts of society that have a distaste for the inequitable distribution of wealth. [43:10] There are seven areas of life that need attention. Career, financial, mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and relationship. To ignore one area, we will pay for it later. [52:45] What specific things or set of things are you going to do on a daily basis to reprogram? [59:13] So much futile energy and effort toward change without addressing these core issues is going to be tough. [01:06:13] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com - 20% OFF Your First Order!

Have you ever reached a point where everything looks successful on the outside, but deep down you know something needs to change? In this inspiring episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison sits down with entrepreneur, peak performance coach, and Relaunch creator Hilary DeCesare to explore what happens when life calls you into your next evolution. Hilary shares the powerful story behind her own "I'm done" moment—a pivotal experience that forced her to confront burnout, redefine her identity, and ultimately create the Relaunch Method that has helped thousands of women navigate major life transitions with confidence and intention. Together, Allison and Hilary discuss why so many high-achieving women feel stuck despite outward success, how identity shifts are often the missing piece in personal and professional growth, and why reinvention isn't about starting over—it's about building from the wisdom you've already earned. Hilary also walks Allison through her signature Tune In Process, a simple yet powerful framework that combines neuroscience, visualization, music, emotional alignment, and micro-actions to help women gain clarity, elevate their energy, and move toward their biggest goals. You'll also hear a fascinating conversation about manifestation, the Law of Attraction, The Secret, and how intentionality can help create opportunities that once seemed impossible. Whether you're navigating a career change, business growth, burnout, divorce, motherhood, or simply feeling called toward something more, this episode will remind you that you're not lost—and you're definitely not stuck.

Randy Lyman is a physicist, entrepreneur, and expert in emotional intelligence and service-based leadership. He built the American Dream from humble beginnings, eventually founding multiple 8-figure businesses, including an Inc. 500 company. He discovered that lasting success requires embracing the emotional aspect of being human. Randy's entrepreneurial journey spans four decades, earning multiple patents and growing his businesses 30x after integrating spiritual principles. He now shares these principles through his book, The Third Element, which offers useful tools and techniques for emotional healing and personal growth. The pivotal moment for Randy came after achieving material success but realizing he was not able to enjoy that success due to being disconnected from his own emotions. This led him to focus on emotional awareness, which changed his approach to leadership and spurred business growth far beyond where planning and hard work alone could have taken him. For Randy, the keys to high performance are authenticity, personal connection, and leading from a combination of strength & vulnerability. The Third Element (#1 New Release in Personal Growth) reveals how unhealed emotional patterns shape our reality and how we can transform them to achieve abundance. Today, Randy shares his principles to help individuals and organizations achieve clarity, connection, and authentic transformation by harnessing emotional intelligence and turning inner healing into outward success. Beyond his professional life, Randy is a craftsman who builds custom motorcycle engines and restores classic cars. His mission is to inspire others to heal, lead, and unlock their full potential by embracing "The Third Element" and their emotional truth.  Website: https://randylyman.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamrandylyman/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamrandylyman1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamrandylyman/

In this Mussar Masterclass on the Gate of Slander, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores one of Judaism's most transformative principles: judging others favorably. Drawing from Orchot Tzaddikim, he explains that our obligation to judge favorably depends on the character of the individual involved. A righteous person should be given the benefit of the doubt even when circumstances appear questionable. An average person should be judged charitably whenever possible. Most importantly, the way we judge others becomes the standard by which Heaven judges us. When we extend grace to others, Hashem extends grace to us. The episode then shifts to the dangers of revenge, grudges, and public embarrassment. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes a crucial distinction: we may condemn a person's actions, but we should never define the person by their mistakes. This principle is especially relevant in parenting, where criticizing a child's behavior rather than labeling the child preserves dignity and encourages growth. Our words have the power either to elevate people toward greatness or to push them toward failure. A central theme throughout the class is the power of positive expectations. Through stories ranging from Talmudic teachings to NFL MVP Josh Allen's upbringing, Rabbi Wolbe demonstrates how people often rise to the expectations placed upon them. Parents, teachers, spouses, and friends can profoundly influence others by speaking to their potential rather than their shortcomings. The episode concludes with the famous lesson that the true "elixir of life" is guarding one's tongue. Long life, healthy relationships, and spiritual greatness begin with careful, disciplined speech. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 2, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 2, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Who can you become if you dropped your made up limitations? In this episode, Marli is diving deep into your made rules of self-limitation. How often do we put ourselves into a limited, comfortable, predictable box and call it...

#230 - Ten Ironman distances in ten days sounds like a headline, but JD Tremblay treats it like a case study. JD is a military veteran, ultra-endurance athlete, and founder of Hungry Warrior Academy, and he joins me to explain how he became one of the rare finishers of the Epic Deca across the Hawaiian islands and why the real secret is not heroic motivation. It is structure, repeatable systems, and the decision to follow them when your mind is loud and your body is tired.We get into the myth that the military “gives” discipline, and JD's sharper take: the military gives structure, and you choose whether you live inside it. From there, we talk about building high performance without burning out, including energy regulation, nervous system shifts from sympathetic fight-or-flight to parasympathetic recovery, and why rest is not a reward but part of the plan. JD also shares his lens on starting versus quitting, the difference between DNS and DNF, and how a simple non-negotiable can become the first brick in a better life.JD opens up about faith, identity, and community, including the moment his son reshapes how he thinks about who he is beyond titles and achievements. He also tells the rawer side of the Epic Deca journey: going into debt, selling his house to fund the race, and hitting a breaking point that forces humility. We even had to pause mid-interview due to an electrical outage, which ends up fitting the theme perfectly: adjust, come back, keep going.If you want practical mindset tools, endurance training lessons, and a clearer definition of discipline you can apply to work, fitness, or family, hit play, then subscribe, share this with someone who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find the show.To learn more about JD and his work with Hungry Warrior Academy please visit www.hungrywarrioracademy.com.

Send us Fan MailAre you actually resting, or are you just escaping?In this solo episode of The Mindset Cafe Podcast, Devan Gonzalez breaks down the difference between real rest and avoidance disguised as self-care. Taking a break, sleeping in, skipping the gym, watching Netflix, scrolling your phone, or stepping away from work can all look like rest on the outside — but the real question is what happens after.Real rest helps you recover, think clearly, regulate your emotions, and return to your standards. Escape gives you short-term relief but creates long-term pressure, guilt, anxiety, and more distance from the life you know you need to face.This episode will help you identify whether your “break” is actually helping you come back stronger or quietly lowering your standard. Devan breaks down real-life examples in fitness, business, mindset, relationships, and personal discipline so you can stop running from what needs to be handled and start building planned recovery with purpose.You'll learn how to tell the difference between rest and escape, why self-care can become a trap when it removes accountability, how avoidance shows up in fitness and entrepreneurship, and the simple test to know whether your break is restoring you or pulling you further off track.If you've been feeling burned out, unmotivated, behind, anxious, guilty, or disconnected, this episode will challenge you to be honest without attacking yourself. Rest if you need rest. But stop running and calling it recovery.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/Let me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.----------------------------------------------Are you taking the right supplements to maximize your mind and body in fitness & health.

You can be wildly successful and still be quietly falling apart inside. Joel Kinnaman has appeared in some of the most talked-about shows in Hollywood. He has starred in The Killing, Robocop, House of Cards, Altered Carbon, and is currently in his fifth season of For All Mankind. And he will be the first to tell you that none of that made the war inside his head any quieter. Before every live theater performance for three straight years, he threw up. He kept a bucket backstage. The negative voices in his mind were relentless, and he spent years drinking heavily, using drugs, and force-feeding himself in a desperate attempt to hide the shame he felt about a physical condition that had left him feeling deformed since childhood. What changed everything was not a breakthrough moment. It was a choice to stop running from the fear and bury himself in the work. He memorized a 105-minute one-man show in 10 days, playing 16 different characters, and walked on stage without throwing up for the first time. That experience taught him something he still carries: preparation is armor. The deeper a role is in your bones, the more freedom you have to be alive inside it. He is still working on the personal side. He describes himself as a disaster in relationships, not from a lack of care, but from years of treating his career as the only thing that could not touch him. He talks about wanting to find the balance between the structure that builds trust and the childlike wonder that keeps him creative. That tension is where this conversation lives. Joel's IMDB In this episode you will: Understand how shame about a physical condition called pectus excavatum triggered an eating disorder that took years to unpack and overcome Discover how Joel turned debilitating stage fright and a 3-year pattern of pre-performance vomiting into a breakthrough that rewired his relationship with fear Learn why preparation is the most underrated performance skill and why Joel insists on being at least 3 nights ahead on every scene he shoots Hear why Joel sees himself as a different man in his career versus his personal relationships, and what he believes he needs to change to close that gap Explore how Joel uses psilocybin experiences, breathwork, and the Buddhist concept of shepa to create space between triggers and reaction in his daily life For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1933 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you'll love: Lewis Howes Solo [7 Habits To Be Happier] Josh Groban The Jonas Brothers TOPICS Joel Kinnaman, stage fright, eating disorder recovery, pectus excavatum, performance anxiety, preparation as armor, shepa, psilocybin, self-loathing, personal growth, For All Mankind, relationship consistency Get more from Lewis!

In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Elena Cardone, entrepreneur, philanthropist, investor, and bestselling author of “Build an Empire: How to Have it All”.

Heela Yang built Sol de Janeiro, one of the most beloved body care brands, from her dining room, but her path there looked nothing like a typical business plan. After twelve years in corporate beauty following stints at Goldman Sachs and a Harvard MBA, she left New York for Brazil for love, only to find herself pregnant, isolated, and unable to do the work that had always defined her. A single afternoon on a beach, surrounded by women of every shape in a very small bikini she'd been talked into, changed everything. In this episode, Heela shares how that moment became the emotional blueprint for Sol de Janeiro, the cult-favorite brand that launched a craze for mists and body care and built a business around embracing your body and skin as it is, no matter what size or shape.
