Send us a textThe weight of caring for others can become unbearable when we forget to care for ourselves. This powerful conversation with Deidre Gestrin, a licensed clinical professional counselor and certified health coach, takes us deep into the reality of burnout among first responders and helping professionals.Deidre shares her profound personal journey through burnout - a harrowing experience that led her doctor to deliver the stark warning: "Your job is killing you." With remarkable candor, she reveals how her dedication to helping others in crisis led to working literally 24/7, developing physical health problems including arthritis in her mid-30s, and ultimately experiencing secondary traumatic stress so severe she couldn't tolerate family members standing behind her.The discussion illuminates the science behind burnout - how chronic stress essentially shuts down our frontal cortex, impairing judgment and decision-making abilities critical for first responders. Steve and Deidre explore why those drawn to helping professions are particularly vulnerable to burnout, and why changing jobs often fails to solve the underlying issues.What makes this episode uniquely valuable is the practical, realistic approach to recovery. Rather than offering platitudes, Deidre provides tangible strategies that work within the constraints of demanding professions. From establishing sleep hygiene routines that function even with irregular schedules to creating small, intentional habits that regulate the nervous system, listeners gain actionable tools for resilience.Perhaps most compelling is Deidre's revelation about recovery timelines - the small shifts at three months, the ability to work again at six months, but the full two years before feeling completely restored. This honest assessment serves as both warning and hope for those navigating their own burnout journeys.Connect with Deidre at abundantwellnessessentials.com to explore personalized strategies for overcoming burnout and reclaiming your purpose and wellbeing. Her Social media presence: https://www.youtube.com/@deidregestrinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/deidregestrin/https://www.facebook.com/dgestrin/https://www.instagram.com/dgestrin/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Doro and Tricia welcome Sarah Nininger, founder and director of Action in Africa, to share her story of spearheading, developing, and sustaining a nonprofit in Uganda. She talks about the challenges and triumphs of running a community center that provides holistic support to the local population, and the ways she takes care of her wellbeing while in a leadership position. Sarah emphasizes the importance of community engagement, self-care, and the transformative power of education and support for individuals with disabilities.

Dr. Ira Rashbaum specializes in mind–body care and treatment of patients who have tension myoneural syndrome, previously known as tension myositis syndrome, a condition that causes pain and symptoms associated with tension and stress factors. His expertise is in diagnosing and treating individuals who have psychosomatic pain disorders. He has an extensive list of publications, national meeting presentations, and media appearances. As study guide committee chairperson of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, he led a project that compiled information on advances in rehabilitation medicine for more than 10,000 physicians worldwide. This position placed him at the forefront of all aspects of rehabilitation medicine. Dr. Samuel Mann is a physician and researcher, specializing in hypertension. He has spent the past 40 years as a specialist in this condition, combining patient care, research and teaching at his institution. As a researcher, he has published 65 articles in medical and psychology journals, along with 10 book chapters on hypertension, and three books. His most recent book is “Hidden Within Us; A Radical New Understanding of the Mind-Body Connection (2022). He emphasizes that in most patients, hypertension is not a mind/body disorder. But when it is, it is not related to emotions, such as anger and anxiety that patients report, but to powerful repressed emotions, often related to a past history of stress or trauma, that are completely hidden from conscious awareness. Part 2 The discussion included the following topics: accuracy of adults in recalling traumatic events that may have occurred in childhood, communicating with patients reluctant to discuss emotional aspects other than physical health ailments; possible distinctions among patients in different demographic groups, non-pharmacologic kinds of treatment, and status of research aimed at understanding the connection between emotions and physical health problems.

#373 In this episode, Guy talked with Dr. Anona Blackwell, a respected medical consultant turned mystic. Dr. Blackwell shared her journey from traditional medicine to incorporating spirituality after witnessing unexplained phenomena in her practice. They discussed the integration of mind, body, and spirit in healthcare, the hidden costs of ignoring spiritual aspects in healing, and envisioned a future where science and spirituality coalesce in medical systems. Alongside her intriguing experiences and stories, Dr. Blackwell emphasizes the importance of love, community, and the interconnectedness of health and spirituality. The episode also touched on the potential of AI and energy fields in future medical practices. About Dr. Anona: Dr. Anona Blackwell is an academic physician and avid explorer of the natural world who has dedicated her life to understanding the intricate connections between science and spirituality.

She led a research team whose work transformed clinical practice in the UK, improving the health of millions of women by advancing the treatment of anaerobic/ bacterial vaginosis.  Immersed in orthodox medicine by day, she devoted her after-hours to the in-depth investigation of anomalous phenomena, energy healing, and metaphysics.

But when it is, it is not related to emotions, such as anger and anxiety that patients report, but to powerful repressed emotions, often related to a past history of stress or trauma, that are completely hidden from conscious awareness. Part 1 The discussion included the following topics: definitions of repressed and suppressed emotions; common emotions that patients tend to repress; extent to which the biomedical model may have to be augmented or replaced as a means of having a greater emphasis on emotions and their unrecognized relationship to some physical health conditions; strength of evidence supporting a connection between emotions and physical health conditions; and the role played by emotional trauma on the onset of various physical health conditions.

This week I'm sharing a conversation that could completely shift how you think about healing from trauma and chronic illness. My guest Lisa Erickson went from tech worker to energy healer after her own health crises showed her something profound: when we're dealing with trauma or chronic illness, we often disconnect from our bodies as a survival mechanism. But that same disconnection can block our healing.Lisa breaks down how chakras work as the organs in your energy anatomy, bridging your physical body, emotions, and spirit. What I love about her approach is how practical it is - you don't need to be "woo woo" or spend hours meditating. She shows you how to link simple energy practices to things you already do, like brushing your teeth.We dive deep into why the root chakra at your tailbone is the foundation for all healing (hint: it's connected to your immune system and adrenals), and she maps out how each energy center connects to specific body systems and healing opportunities.This isn't about bypassing medical care - it's about adding another layer of support that helps you feel safe in your body again.

40% of North Americans are living with a gastrointestinal disorder—from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) to complex, chronic conditions like MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) —yet far too many are misdiagnosed, dismissed, or left without answers.

Is porn anti-feminist? As a recovering feminist — my answer is yes. But the truth goes deeper: porn is anti-human.I'm Dr. Trish Leigh — cognitive neuroscientist and author of Mind Over Explicit Matter. When I spoke on Jubilee's Middle Ground with porn performers, I stood up for this: porn isn't empowerment — it's exploitation. Too many performers are groomed into the industry because they lack real education and support.Education is empowerment — that's why I'm here. To help you break porn's grip on your brain, your connection, your intimacy, and your humanity. Everything I share is backed by neuroscience, real data, and decades of study.

Does porn disrupt loyalty in relationships? Yes — and science backs it up.I'm Dr. Trish Leigh,  a cognitive neuroscientist helping men break free from porn-induced brain dysregulation and intimacy struggles. As the author of Mind Over Explicit Matter, I combine science and empathy to guide people toward real connection. When I sat down with porn performers on Jubilee's Middle Ground, this prompt came up. One performer said she used porn to spice up her relationship — but the truth is, that just ties your intimacy to hypersexuality, not real connection.Studies show porn rewires your brain for objectification, not bonding. Men who watch porn are more likely to see women as objects, not partners. Underneath it all is brain dysregulation — a hijacked reward system that kills true trust and real intimacy.Jubilee & LoveCommaNectar opened the door for this conversation — so if you haven't seen the episode yet, check it out. Just a heads up: if you're in recovery, stick here with me. I'll break this all down with the science and help you rebuild real loyalty and healthy intimacy that lasts.Send us a textSupport the showHi.

Have you ever asked yourself: Am I sacrificing too much time with my wife and kids in pursuit of my career or financial goals? What small changes could I make right now to build more connection points and memories with my family? Am I making choices that line up with the kind of legacy and example I want to set for my children? Whether you're a career-driven dad, a business owner, or just trying to do your best for your family, this episode is an honest look at why intentional time, connection, and legacy matter far more than your next paycheck. This week, Larry takes us on a heartfelt journey inspired by his recent 50th birthday, reflecting on the advice he wishes he could have given his younger self during his 30s and 40s. With deep sincerity, he opens up about the “rookie mistakes” he made by spending years grinding in a demanding career—sacrificing precious time with his wife and kids in pursuit of financial success. Drawing from powerful examples, including an emotional moment from Tom Brady reflecting on the cost of greatness, Larry reminds us that while hustling to provide is noble, it often comes at a price that money can't buy back: time, connection, and memories with our loved ones. He shares statistics on how finances often strain marriages, highlights the importance of intentional living, and encourages dads to pause and assess what their hard work might be costing them outside the office. So if you've ever questioned if the grind is worth it, or worried about missing out on what truly matters, this one's for you.    Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: The Hidden Price of Success: Working 60, 70, or even 80 hours a week is celebrated by many men. Yet, as Larry reveals, this dedication is often worn as a badge of honor. While providing for a family is noble, the cost can be severe. Countless hours spent at work are hours lost with children, spouses, and friends. Larry's own journey included long weeks on the road and executive-level sacrifices in the medical industry. Despite earning a good living, he found himself disconnected and unfulfilled. The Irreplaceable Asset: Time with Family: Time is the one thing every parent has in equal measure—24 hours each day. Although bank accounts and careers differ, the hours we have with loved ones are finite. Larry highlights this by referencing Tom Brady's emotional reflection on his father. Even with record-breaking success and financial security, Brady admitted to sacrificing precious moments with his children. This lesson resonates with many fathers who struggle to strike a healthy balance. Wealth, Marriage, and the Stress Factor: Finances play a leading role in marital stress. In fact, 37% of divorces are linked primarily to money disagreements. Arguments about spending, saving, and debt are rampant in households. Sometimes, financial infidelity—like secret spending—can quietly erode trust. Moreover, differences in money personalities between spouses can further complicate things. One partner may be a saver while the other prefers to spend, creating ongoing tension. Rethinking the Grind: Society tells us we must stick with what we know, even if it costs us happiness. Larry demonstrates that it's possible to shift careers, learn new skills, and pursue passions. He provides examples of his own path, as well as others who made midlife career changes successfully. There are more ways to generate income today than ever before. From real estate to side hustles, passive revenue is accessible for those willing to be creative and disciplined. Practical Advice for Fathers: Larry urges fathers to pause and consider what the grind is truly costing them. Is it worth missing key moments with your children? Instead of only focusing on earning, he recommends open communication with your spouse. Aligning financial goals can ease the burden and reduce the need for endless overtime. Fathers don't have to choose between security and connection. With intention, you can build both. This episode is packed with raw, practical wisdom on finding balance, embracing new opportunities, and living with intentionality. Here's what research and observation highlight about financial issues in relationships: Almost 3 out of 10 couples are secretly spending money that the other person doesn't know about. Money fights show up in nearly 40 to 50% of all marital arguments. 27% of couples or partners admit to secretly spending, and 10% say it will lead directly to divorce thedadedge.com/friday517 thedadedge.com/mastermind Brady on Family vs football
