Get ready for a client case study breakdown, this one is exciting because it's all about plateaus (one of my absolute favorite things to coach on). One of the biggest mistakes you can make when you stall on progress is jumping from plan to plan hoping the next one will finally move the scale. But when you do that, you never actually learn why your original plan stopped working.In this episode, I share how my client K went from plateauing at her weight for 8 months to losing 8 pounds in 9 weeks while working together. And what's crazy is… K was already consistent. She was working out 4–5x a week, eating decently well, and still stuck. I'll go over why she was experiencing this, the small tweaks we made and why her body responded so well. If you've ever wondered, “Why am I stuck even though I'm doing everything right?” these are checkpoints you're going to want to hear. Tune in: -The hidden signals her body had been giving her to stay in maintenance mode even though her effort was high -The small habit adjustments that made the biggest difference in her meals and workouts -The one area she wasn't paying attention to that ended up creating the foundation her body needed to drop fat Join the waitlist for the Forever Consistent Membership: A place where your workouts and meals will finally stick, even during busy, low-energy, and unpredictable weeks. This program is not another quick fix challenge that leaves you restarting again. Instead, you will be building the skill of consistency to trust yourself to show up for your body for a lifetime with other women of color like you: https://forms.gle/cfcnAqfvWzRtW47b8 Book a Consultation for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love? Private coaching is designed to help busy women of color like you be the healthiest, strongest and the most consistent you've ever be been with a full schedule to keep the weight off for good.

What if fear isn't a stop sign but a compass? We sit down with Chris Duffin—engineer, world-record powerlifter, entrepreneur, and author of The Eagle and the Dragon—to unpack how real strength is built: by choosing meaningful pressure, not chasing comfort. Chris grew up homeless in the wilderness, learned to respect fear while holding live rattlesnakes, and later rebuilt his body and businesses after brutal setbacks. His thesis is simple and hard: specific adaptation to imposed demand applies to everything—bones, teams, mindsets, and companies.We dig into the Six Ps of resilience—Precipice, Plunge, Pit, Pull, Peak, Plateau—and how to use each phase instead of fighting it. Chris explains why motivation fades, values endure, and entrepreneurship only works when it's an expression of what matters most. We talk leadership that paints a visceral picture of now and next, micro-bravery that compounds into macro-capability, and the quiet courage of hard conversations that prepare you for big leaps. If you've ever felt stuck, his challenge is direct: turn into the pain, ask what you're avoiding, and take the smallest scary action this week.You'll hear how he returned from a devastating back injury to elite performance by owning the process, coordinating experts, and refusing limiting stories—and how a documented case of a double-quad reattachment led to a 700-pound deadlift in seven weeks. The takeaway is practical and liberating: most limits are stories repeated until they feel like physics. Rewrite the script with systems, accountability, and consistent action.If this conversation moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review so more people can find it. Then tell us: what's the one hard step you'll take this week?Join the What if it Did Work movement on FacebookGet the Book!www.omarmedrano.comwww.calendly.com/omarmedrano/15min

Someone asked me if I only work with younger women.And it made me realize something big.This isn't about age. It's about identity.By 40, 45, 50… most women haven't failed. They've built coping strategies that work.They look stable. They look successful. They look “fine.”But they're managing the thorn instead of removing it.In this episode, I'm talking about:Why plateau feels safeWhy high-functioning women harden instead of expandWhy most programs create results that don't lastAnd what it actually takes to build power that doesn't collapseThis is for the woman who knows she's at the edge… and refuses to revisit the same ceiling again next year.Support the showHosted by Casey Shipp — 3000+ transformations, Self-Made Millionaire, High Priestess, Writer, Fitness Cover Model, and Founder of the Hotbody App. $30M client wins | $7.8M sold onlineRich isn't rare.

Plateaus don't announce themselves. They feel like success. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I explore the subtle danger of operational excellence — how getting better at what's already working can quietly stall true progress. Drawing from my own experience pushing through physical plateaus on the Peloton, I reflect on how growth only happens when we lean into discomfort rather than optimizing the same 20-minute ride over and over again.The advisory industry is facing that exact moment. High performance can mask stagnation. When markets are strong and workflows are tight, it feels like we're winning — until the world shifts and we realize we've optimized for the wrong thing. I unpack the difference between optimization and innovation, and why balancing exploitation (serving today's needs) with exploration (building tomorrow's value) is what separates adaptive firms from complacent ones.Technology — including AI — will continue to improve efficiency. But efficiency alone doesn't create differentiation. The firms that break through their plateaus won't be the ones reducing costs the fastest. They'll be the ones rethinking client experience, expanding the scope of advice, and using imagination to create value that didn't previously exist. Growth doesn't come from doing the same thing better. It comes from having the courage to do something different.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 21In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore intriguing revelations about the search for life on Mars, the surprising effects of Saturn's moon Enceladus on its planet, and the monumental volcanic events that reshaped Earth's tectonic landscape.Life on Mars: A New PerspectiveRecent findings suggest that non-biological processes cannot fully explain the organic compounds found in Martian regolith samples collected by NASA's Curiosity rover. Published in the journal Astrobiology, the study indicates that life may have contributed to some of these compounds, challenging previous assumptions. The research involved evaluating potential non-biological sources and concluded that the abundance of organics on Mars could hint at past life, sparking renewed interest in the Red Planet's potential habitability.Enceladus' Electromagnetic InfluenceA fascinating study reveals that Saturn's icy moon Enceladus trails a wake of electromagnetic ripples extending over half a million kilometers, significantly influencing its giant host planet. Data from NASA's Cassini mission demonstrated how Enceladus' geysers contribute to energy and momentum circulation within Saturn's magnetic environment, marking a crucial discovery about the moon's role in the Saturnian system.Earth's Volcanic HistoryNew research highlights how Earth's largest volcanic event, associated with the Ontong Java Plateau, dramatically altered a major tectonic plate. The findings suggest that extensive volcanic activity led to significant physiochemical modifications within the oceanic plate, enhancing our understanding of plate formation processes and the environmental impacts of such massive eruptions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrobiology, Geophysical Research Space Physics, Geophysical Research LettersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.

We see a lot of people in a rut or experiencing a plateau in their training around this point of the year. Dr. Trevor, PT, and Dr. Evan, PT, discuss why this happens and go over actionable strategies to avoid this from happening and to get out of the rut if you're currently experiencing this

In this episode of Business Brain, we face a hard truth: boredom isn't a slump—it's the plateau we built. When things get stable, we can start manufacturing chaos just to feel like the hero again. Shannon Jean and Dave Hamilton push us to notice when routine becomes the enemy and when “busy” replaces real momentum. Instead of chasing noise, we learn to spot the patterns that keep us stuck and break through with intention. We also tackle the tension between prioritizing revenue and protecting our Charmed Life. At 3pm, we can reset with two refocusing questions: What's the most important thing we can do right now to increase revenue? And what's the most important thing we can do to enhance our charmed life? In this episode of Business Brain, we redefine productivity, escape the boredom trap, and design growth without sacrificing the life we're building. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #726 for Wednesday Casual FridAI, February 11th, 2026 February 11th: National Inventors Day 00:01:24 We'll use Suno to update our theme song 00:02:38 Boredom is the Plateau TRIBE Founders Group If we get bored… are we intentionally creating problems to be the hero? feedback@businessbrain.show Sponsors 00:10:35 SPONSOR: Tempo – Tempo delivers perfectly-portion meals to your door, each is ready in just 2 minutes.

Do you feel like your career has stalled just as your capacity is starting to come back? In this episode, I talk about the mid-career plateau I often see mom lawyers experience and why it is both common and understandable. As parenting demands shift and your energy begins to return, many lawyers find themselves questioning whether their current role still fits and what they want next.     I walk through three ways this plateau tends to show up in practice. This episode is about reframing the plateau as an inflection point rather than a failure. Whether you feel ready to make a change or are simply noticing the questions surfacing, this conversation will help you think more clearly about what matters now and what might come next.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://thejoyfulpractice.com/247     Click here to grab my procrastination protocol checklist: https://mailchi.mp/0c249b28750c/procrastination_protocol      Click here to grab my time management podcast roadmap: https://mailchi.mp/d267dabde299/time-management-lawyers-podcast-roadmap

Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastMost people want change. Very few are willing to follow a model long enough to earn it.In this episode, we sit down with Alison Harris, a real estate agent out of Savannah, Georgia, who made a bold decision in 2021 to relaunch her entire business from the ground up. Forty months later, she crossed the million-dollar GCI mark by committing to a clear model and running it with discipline.Alison walks us through the Six Personal Perspectives and how each one showed up in her real life, not as theory, but as daily behavior. We unpack what it really means to commit to self-mastery, why the 80/20 principle gave her time back, and how moving from entrepreneurial to purposeful changed everything.This is not a story about a magic lead source or a shiny new system. Alison is clear about that. The growth came from magic in the mundane—building a five-star database, running a consistent touch program, holding people accountable, and committing to a learning-based business even when it was uncomfortable.If you've ever felt capped by hustle, stuck under a ceiling, or frustrated that effort isn't translating into freedom, this conversation delivers a conversational framework you can apply immediately.No hype. No shortcuts. Just a proven path, run the right way.Resources:Explore: BOLD at Keller WilliamsLearn: The Six Personal Perspectives by Gary KellerDownload: MREA Podcast Notes and Models at mreanotes.com Order the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

How to Break Through a Spiritual Plateau and Start Growing Again Episode Description Have you ever felt stuck in your spiritual life—going through the motions, but missing the passion and freshness you once had? In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob talks about how to start growing again when you've hit a spiritual plateau. Drawing from Hosea 10:12, Rob unpacks the powerful biblical image of breaking up unplowed ground—and what it looks like to let God soften hardened areas of the heart so new growth can take place. Through a memorable personal story, practical spiritual insights, and honest encouragement, this episode will help you recognize when it's time for renewal and how God brings refreshment after repentance. If your faith feels dry, routine, or stalled, this message is for you. Key Scripture Hosea 10:12 "Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you." In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why spiritual growth often slows or stalls over time What "unplowed ground" looks like in the heart How disappointment, routine, and unconfessed sin harden us spiritually Why dryness doesn't mean failure—it means it's time to plow Practical ways to soften your heart again through prayer, fasting, confession, and reflection Why God always brings renewal after repentance How new seasons of growth often come after uncomfortable seasons of change Memorable Moments: A vivid story of turning a thorn-filled blackberry bramble into a fruitful garden Rob's personal experience of spiritual dryness after early zeal as a Christian The promise that God always "sends rain after the plowing" Encouragement for long-time disciples who feel worn down or discouraged Quotes from the Episode: "God always brings rain after the plowing." "Dryness doesn't mean you're failing—it means it's time to dig." "Every new season of growth begins with breaking up hardened ground." Takeaway Spiritual plateaus are not the end of growth—they're often the beginning of a new season. When God starts to plow the heart, it may feel uncomfortable, but it always prepares the soil for deeper grace, renewed passion, and lasting fruit. Let God break up what's grown hard—and watch what He grows next. Resources & Next Steps:

When IVF ends without a baby, life does not always fall apart. Sometimes it goes quiet. You may still be showing up to work, keeping plans, and getting through your days, yet something feels off. You are functioning, but not fully connected to your life. In this episode of The "So Now What?" Podcast, you are introduced to the concept of a grief plateau and why it is so common for women who are childless not by choice after infertility and IVF failed. A grief plateau explains why life can feel paused after fertility treatments end. Not dramatic grief. Not constant sadness. But a flat, stuck feeling that is hard to name and even harder to explain to others. This episode helps you understand what may be happening beneath the surface and why it makes sense, given everything you have been through. In this episode, you will learn: What a grief plateau is and how it shows up after IVF failed. Why many women feel "off" after infertility even when life looks fine on the outside. How years of fertility treatments affect your body, brain, and sense of safety. Why staying busy, feeling numb, or avoiding big dreams can be a form of protection. How losing the dream of motherhood can leave your future feeling unclear. Why understanding where you are matters before trying to move forward. This episode is for you if: You left fertility treatments without a baby and feel disconnected from yourself. Life feels stuck or paused after IVF failed. You are tired of being told to move on or look on the bright side. You want language that makes sense of life after infertility. This is not an episode about fixing yourself or rushing into a new version of life. It is about naming an experience many women have but rarely hear explained. Resource mentioned in this episode: Top 27 Things People Say When You're Childless and How to Respond A free guide to help you navigate uncomfortable comments and advice after infertility. Get the free guide here. If life feels quiet after IVF failed and you do not know why, this episode will help you understand what you may be standing in right now.

If you're on a healing journey, you know the struggle of the steep and perilous upward climb. If you've been on it for a while, you likely also know the sense of accomplishment and pride you feel when you reach the summit of a challenge and can see how far you've come. We all know these peaks and valleys are integral and repeating parts of the journey, but if you've been on your journey for a very long time, we bet you've encountered something no one warned you about or prepared you for: the plateaus. If you stay on the path for long enough, there will be moments of deafening stillness, when you can see everything you've accomplished but there's seemingly nothing on the horizon and you don't know what to do next. This is the no man's land of the healing journey. You can't go back and you're not done, but you also don't know where you are or where you're headed, you just know you didn't expect to be here. So, what do you do? Join us for a discussion of what the view is like from the plateau and how to choose a path forward into the uncharted territory of your healing journey.

There are moments when a conversation slows you down in the best possible way. My discussion with Brad Farris was one of those moments—a reminder that growth isn't just about doing more, faster, or harder, but about becoming the kind of leader who can sustain momentum without burning everything down in the process.Brad has spent decades working alongside agency and expert-firm owners, helping them move past the $1M–$2M ceiling and into healthier, more durable growth. What stood out to me wasn't just his experience—it was his insistence that the real work happens internally. The biggest constraint to progress, he argues, isn't strategy or systems. It's what's happening between your ears.Six Discussion PointsWhy agency growth stalls at the $1M–$2M mark—and why effort alone won't fix itThe hidden cost of hurry, speed, and “getting through the list”Why leadership is about choosing, not clearingHow inbox habits reveal whether you're managing or leadingThe role of presence, energy, and reflection in better decision-makingWhy leading yourself is the first step to leading othersThree Connection PointsAnchor Advisors – Brad's home base and advisory workBrad Farris on LinkedInHow To Transform A Single Daily Theme Into An Everyday FocusBrad's perspective reinforces something I've seen repeatedly: sustainable growth isn't about squeezing more output from yourself or your team. It's about creating the conditions where clarity, rest, and intention can do their work. This conversation is an invitation to slow down just enough to lead better.

It's Tuesday, January 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims killed 32 Christians since Christmas Killings of Christians continue unabated in Nigeria, reports TruthNigeria.com. Islamist terrorists have killed at least 32 Christians since Christmas, and burned down hundreds of homes in the Adamawa, Kebbi, and Plateau states. Congressman asserts Nigerian Christians targeted for their faith On January 1st, Republican U.S. Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia weighed in on X. He wrote, “If there were any remaining doubts that Christians in Nigeria are being targeted for their faith in Jesus Christ, this should end that debate.  This isn't about land usage, ‘climate change,' or any other argument the Left wants to make. “This is persecution of our brothers and sisters for their faith in Christ, plain and simple. ISIS is telling Christians they have an opportunity to ‘spare their blood' if they convert. Our brothers and sisters will not bend the knee to anyone but our Lord and Savior.” Also, late last week, the Islamic-supported Allied Democratic Forces carried out a deadly nighttime incursion, killing at least 15 people in the Lubero territory of Congo, Africa. 20 Iranians have died in protests in 78 cities Iranian protests enter Day 9 where at least 20 people have died in the unrest. Protests have been cited in 78 cities across 26 provinces, reports Iran International.  According to The Times on Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader has a backup plan in place — to abscond to Russia should his security forces fail. North Korea shot hypersonic missiles Sunday North Korea successfully fired off several hypersonic missiles on Sunday, connecting with targets 700 miles away in Korea's East Sea. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un called it a “very important strategic task to maintain and expand a powerful and reliable nuclear deterrent.”  Back in 2019, China deployed hypersonic technology. But the United States has yet to deploy its hypersonic technology — it is still in the testing phase.  Number of foreigners in Austria, Belgium and UK skyrocketing Remix News reports that over 41% of the population of Vienna, Austria's capital, is foreign born. And 50 percent of first-graders do not understand German. Also, Muslim students now account for 41.2 percent of all elementary school students, while Christian students fell to 34.5 percent. Plus, Austria, Belgium, and the United Kingdom have the highest percentages of babies born to immigrants — above 30%. Venezuelan dictator and wife plead not guilty The Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, both arrested by the U.S. government over the weekend, appeared in a New York City Court Monday to face charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy. and weapons offenses. They entered pleas of innocence to the charges. Psalm 37:9 is clear: “Evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the Earth.” China financed $60 billion loans to Venezuela Come to find out China has been a major player in Venezuela since 2000. The Council on Foreign Relations reports that Venezuela ate up $60 billion of Chinese loans accounting for fully half of all the money that China loaned to South America over the years. And China has been taking in about 80% of Venezuelan oil exports of late. Rubio objects to Iran, China, & Russia propping up Venezuela Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio objected to America's enemies propping up Venezuela in America's backyard. Listen. RUBIO: “We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil in the United States. What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States. You have to understand. Why does China need their oil? Why does Russia need their oil? Why does Iran need their oil? They're not even in this continent. “This is the Western Hemisphere. This is where we live, and we're not going to allow the western hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors and rivals of the United States. We want to see the oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela. “Why have 8 million people left Venezuela? Eight million: the single largest mass migration probably in modern history, left Venezuela in 2014 because all the wealth of that country was stolen to the benefit of Maduro and his cronies in the regime, but not to the benefit of people of Venezuela. You know how destabilizing 8 million migrants is? “The number one fear that Brazil has, that Colombia has, that all these countries in the region have about what's happening in Venezuela and our involvement is they're afraid of another mass migration event. That's what they feel. This is deeply destabilizing stuff. ”It's not going to continue to happen. They are not going to come from outside of our hemisphere, destabilize our region in our own backyard, and us have to pay the price for it, not under President Trump.” Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Uruguay & Spain upset about Maduro The governments of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain have issued a statement airing their disagreement with the U.S. military actions taken against Venezuela over the weekend.   The statement appealed to what they called the “principles of the United Nations Charter.” Trump upset that drug cartels are running Mexico and Columbia President Donald Trump has also told the U.S. press that something has to be done with Mexico. He told Fox News that the  drug cartels are running the country.  Plus, he called Columbia a “sick country” run by a “sick” president who “likes to sell Cocaine to the United States.” Trump said he's not going to be doing this very long.   And the president said, “Cuba is ready to fall” as well.  But let us all remember Who rules. Psalm 22:28-29 says, “For the kingdom is the Lord's, and He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the Earth shall eat and worship; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive.” Dallas street preachers handcuffed and detained without cause Here in America, street preachers connected with a “Reformed Baptist evangelistic ministry, [Testimonies of God], committed to the supremacy of Scripture and the advancement of Christ's Gospel,” were handcuffed and detained by police officers in Dallas a few weeks ago. The Christian Post reports that an officer had required the evangelists to get off the public sidewalk and cross the street — an order the preachers believed was unlawful. So far, no charges have been filed in the case. 15 states still allow trans surgeries and drugs for kids Two hospitals in left-wing Colorado have decided to stop writing prescriptions for sex-change drugs for children, reports 9-News. Children's Hospital and Denver Health have cited warnings from the U.S. Health and Human Services Department. Colorado was the faux-sex-change capital of the world in the 1980s and 1990s.   Sadly, 15 states still allow gender-based mutilation or gender-debilitating drugs for kids including Colorado, California, Oregon, Illinois, and New York. Japanese restaurant paid $3.24 million for bluefin tuna And finally, a Japanese sushi chain set a record for the price paid for a fish yesterday.  The Japan Times reports that Sushi Zanmai paid $3.24 million for a Pacific bluefin tuna at Tokyo's fish auction. That's an astounding $6,600 per pound!
