This week we are re-releasing a Substack Live from our Breaker community! Mayim and Jonathan unpack their recent conversation with Dr. Paul Conti, psychiatrist and author of Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, and the clinician who assessed Lady Gaga during her psychiatric crisis. His central argument: the lens through which you approach your own suffering may be the very thing keeping you stuck in it - and psychiatry needs to evolve to help you see that.Mayim breaks down one of Dr. Conti's most profound suggestions — that if a diagnosis becomes your sole identity, the brain will actually reinforce it. Every time you return to a problem as the primary fact of your existence, you deepen the groove that rumination is creating in your brain. He's offering a clinical framework for redirecting attention toward what is functioning, and why that reorientation affects real mental health improvement.More than half of the physical complaints that walk into a general practitioner's office originate in the mind not as fabrication, but as the body's honest response to unprocessed psychological overload. Mayim and Jonathan sit with what that actually means: your back pain, your gut issues, and your chronic fatigue may not be separate problems requiring separate specialists; they may be indications of a system under pressure that needs focused psychological care.They also explore:- Why internet self-diagnosis and social media labeling can be dangerous, and what the actual clinical criteria are for knowing when something needs professional attention versus when you're just wired differently- The case that many mental health challenges are spiritual in nature, and what it means that our healthcare system lacks a framework for treating them that way- How chronic background stress erodes your capacity to handle normal life, and why you often can't see it happening, because your baseline keeps shifting without your awareness- Practical takeaways from the recent episode with Dr. Stacy Sims, Exercise Physiologist and Nutrition Scientist, on women's health, protein timing, and what actually happened when Jonathan snuck a bolus of protein into Mayim's bedtime routineFollow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've ever called yourself lazy or a bad housekeeper for having a messy junk drawer, this one's for you. Tracy McCubbin, professional organizer and self-proclaimed "child of a hoarder," breaks down why so much organization advice misses the emotional root of clutter — and how to stop being a perfectionist about your home. Tracy gets honest about the shame so many of us carry around our spaces, and offers a refreshingly simple reframe: your house isn't wrong and neither are you, it's just not working for you yet. That small shift in identity is one of the most powerful daily habits you can build for feeling more at peace at home — no color-coded pantry required. This clip is personal development and self-care for mothers in its most practical form. It's not about chasing a Pinterest-perfect house, it's about learning how to feel happier in the one you already have.

Welcome back to Faith Friday!! We are almost done with this fruit of the Spirit series!!! hope y'all are loving it! In this episode, we explore the fruit of the Spirit: gentleness from Galatians 5:22–23. We'll talk about what biblical gentleness really means, how Jesus modeled it, and what it looks like in our everyday relationships, conversations, and responses. Gentleness invites us to respond rather than react, to speak truth with love, and to treat others with grace even when emotions run high. It's a quiet strength that reflects the character of Christ. In this episode, we'll explore: What biblical gentleness actually means Why gentleness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit How Jesus demonstrated gentleness without compromising truth The difference between gentleness and weakness Practical ways to cultivate gentleness in our words, reactions, and relationships What it looks like to surrender our responses to the Holy Spirit Scripture: Galatians 5:22–23; Matthew 11:28–30 Reflection: Where might God be inviting you to replace a harsh reaction with a gentle response this week? SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! #FruitOfTheSpirit #Gentleness #HolySpirit #ChristianPodcast #Faith #BiblicalLiving Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford explains how connection helps us heal what we can't heal alone, from the power of sharing our stories to the support we find in friendships, groups, and community. She discusses how healing allows painful experiences to become part of our story without becoming our entire story, why shame begins to loosen when we realize we aren't alone, and how relationships can help us see ourselves more clearly. Dr. Joy also explores self-silencing, navigating conflict, finding meaningful friendships as adults, and why discomfort can sometimes be a sign that we're growing in the right direction. Feeling overwhelmed in your life?Check out ⁠⁠Overwhelm is Optional ⁠⁠— a 4-week email course that helps you feel calmer and more grounded without needing to do less.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Teri Ijeoma. A stock trader, entrepreneur, educator, and New York Times bestselling author of The Risk Worth Taking. The conversation focuses on her journey from elementary school assistant principal to successful investor, her philosophy on risk-taking, and her mission to teach financial literacy and wealth-building through stock market investing. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Promote Teri's new book, The Risk Worth Taking. The book uses a fictional story inspired by her own journey to teach investing while helping readers overcome fear and uncertainty. Educate listeners about investing and financial freedom. Teri explains her investing philosophy, online courses, and practical framework for making investment decisions. Inspire entrepreneurship and courageous decision-making. She shares how leaving a toxic work environment and traveling the world led to her successful business and investing career. Show how faith, education, and calculated risk-taking can create opportunities and wealth. Teri emphasizes that financial success often follows courageous action and consistent learning. Key Takeaways 1. Success Begins with a Willingness to Take Risks Teri left her position as an assistant principal and chose an uncertain path that ultimately transformed her life. Her story illustrates that meaningful growth often requires stepping beyond comfort and security. Lesson: Major opportunities frequently exist on the other side of uncertainty. 2. Fear Is a Bigger Obstacle Than Knowledge After teaching more than 40,000 students, Teri discovered that many people understand investing but hesitate to act because of fear. Lesson: Financial success requires both knowledge and the confidence to take action. 3. Investing Creates Freedom Teri views investing as more than a way to earn money. She believes it provides flexibility, options, and the ability to pursue one's passions. Lesson: Wealth should be viewed as a tool that expands life choices and personal freedom. 4. Simple Education Drives Results One reason for her success is her ability to explain complex financial concepts in an accessible way. Her teaching style removes intimidation and helps people build confidence. Lesson: Complex subjects become achievable when taught clearly and practically. 5. Courage Comes Before Clarity Teri challenges the belief that people need a perfect plan before taking action. She argues that courage is often required first, with clarity developing afterward. Lesson: Waiting for perfect certainty can prevent progress. 6. Faith and Purpose Shape Success Her educational journey from MIT to Dallas Theological Seminary influenced both her career and worldview. She sees teaching investing as a calling that helps people improve their lives. Lesson: Combining talent with purpose creates greater impact. 7. AI and Economic Change Will Increase the Need for Financial Literacy Teri believes technological changes may disrupt traditional employment. She hopes more people will learn to invest so they can create income and opportunities independently. Lesson: Financial education is becoming increasingly important in a rapidly changing economy. The Four C's Framework A central concept in The Risk Worth Taking is the framework for taking smart risks: 1. Courage Taking the first step despite uncertainty. 2. Clarity Learning the fundamentals and understanding the opportunity. 3. Caution Managing risk and making informed decisions. 4. Confidence Developing expertise and trusting your process. Notable Quotes On Risk-Taking "This is a risk, yes. Every investment comes with a little bit of uncertainty, but it's still worth it." On Leaving Comfort Zones "If I had not stepped out, none of this would have been possible." On Courage "Your whole life is on the other side of courage." On Financial Freedom "If I can teach you how to invest, I can teach you how to have options in your life. I can teach you how to have more freedom in your life." On Faith "I just had to not trust in everything I could see... if I walk in this gift and just do the thing that's been on my heart, God will take care of the rest." On Action Versus Planning "Sometimes you just have to have the courage to step out... then you can figure it all out." On Her Mission "This is my new form of ministry." On Her Desired Legacy "Because of Teri Ijeoma and her great teaching on finances and investing, all of the people that were becoming unemployed learned how to use their severance packages to invest in the stock market and start building their own careers and freedom." Overall Assessment The interview is ultimately about much more than stock trading. It is a conversation about personal transformation, courage, faith, entrepreneurship, and financial empowerment. Teri Ijeoma presents investing as a vehicle for creating freedom and opportunity, while encouraging listeners to overcome fear, take calculated risks, and pursue a larger vision for their lives. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

What happens when we spend so much time looking at what others have that we lose sight of what Allah has already given us?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by her teacher, Imam Mohamed Magid, to reflect on verses 131–133 of Surah TaHa.The conversation begins with Allah's warning not to gaze longingly at the beauty and luxuries others have been given in this world. What looks like success may simply be a test, and what Allah provides is ultimately better and more lasting. Imam Magid reflects on the danger of becoming captivated by appearances, wealth, status, and material success, especially when what we admire may have been built through injustice or harm.In this episode, you will learn:

Darren Grimes and Graham Dunlop launch their new Grimoire platform, a global book club built around 250 plus professionally narrated audiobooks, lunar-cycle book picks, and community participation. They also demo a new online Pegs and Jokers game, whil e walking through the shelves of the library and explaining how free access, founder memberships, and the inner sanctum work. https://pegsandjokers.ca/ https://www.skool.com/the-secret-teachings-book-club-1875   In this episode, Darren and Graham cover the launch setup, the membership model, and the structure of the new book club. They also preview the first book of the month, discuss how the shelves are organized, and share the thinking behind the game and the community features. Key topics In this episode: the Grimoire launches with more than 250 audiobooks, with the library expected to grow to around 260 soon. The free book of the month is The Secret Teachings of All Ages in an abridged edition, chosen because starting with the full 36 hour version would be too much for most listeners. Founder keeper and monthly initiate memberships unlock the full library, while the free tier gives access to the monthly featured book and community activity. The book club is organized around lunar cycles, with a new moon monthly pick and a full moon live read, creating a rhythm of one book per moon month. The community model includes chapter check-ins, passage discussions, Friday tangents, and a final live book council in the last week of each book month. Darren and Graham describe the inner sanctum as a deeper, earned area of the platform, accessible through participation rather than payment alone. The shelves span Hermetica and occult, theosophy, mysticism east and west, Atlantis and Fortiana, mind and prosperity, weird fiction, philosophy and classics, magic, and power and propaganda. They highlight standout titles such as The Purple Cloud, The Machine Stops, Atlantis by Ignatius Donnelly, The Book of Thoth, Psychic Self-Defense, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Road to Serfdom. Graham demos Pegs and Jokers, explaining how the online version works, how the cards move pieces, and why it is meant to be played with friends and family across locations. They mention the platform is still being cleaned up and reorganized, including moving some books between shelves and adding PDFs and other support material.   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Darren Grimes and Graham Dunlop launch their new Grimoire platform, a global book club built around 250 plus professionally narrated audiobooks, lunar-cycle book picks, and community participation. They also demo a new online Pegs and Jokers game, whil e walking through the shelves of the library and explaining how free access, founder memberships, and the inner sanctum work. https://pegsandjokers.ca/ https://www.skool.com/the-secret-teachings-book-club-1875   In this episode, Darren and Graham cover the launch setup, the membership model, and the structure of the new book club. They also preview the first book of the month, discuss how the shelves are organized, and share the thinking behind the game and the community features. Key topics In this episode: the Grimoire launches with more than 250 audiobooks, with the library expected to grow to around 260 soon. The free book of the month is The Secret Teachings of All Ages in an abridged edition, chosen because starting with the full 36 hour version would be too much for most listeners. Founder keeper and monthly initiate memberships unlock the full library, while the free tier gives access to the monthly featured book and community activity. The book club is organized around lunar cycles, with a new moon monthly pick and a full moon live read, creating a rhythm of one book per moon month. The community model includes chapter check-ins, passage discussions, Friday tangents, and a final live book council in the last week of each book month. Darren and Graham describe the inner sanctum as a deeper, earned area of the platform, accessible through participation rather than payment alone. The shelves span Hermetica and occult, theosophy, mysticism east and west, Atlantis and Fortiana, mind and prosperity, weird fiction, philosophy and classics, magic, and power and propaganda. They highlight standout titles such as The Purple Cloud, The Machine Stops, Atlantis by Ignatius Donnelly, The Book of Thoth, Psychic Self-Defense, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Road to Serfdom. Graham demos Pegs and Jokers, explaining how the online version works, how the cards move pieces, and why it is meant to be played with friends and family across locations. They mention the platform is still being cleaned up and reorganized, including moving some books between shelves and adding PDFs and other support material.   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

The episode highlights the shift toward AI-driven knowledge management within the MSP sector, revealing increased operational dependency on structured data and sophisticated integrations. Lexful, an AI-native documentation platform designed specifically for MSPs, represents this trend by positioning itself not as a simple add-on but as a replacement for legacy documentation tools—controlling critical record-keeping functions and interfacing with principal PSA and RMM systems. This development signals greater infrastructure dependence on AI-based documentation and the implications of technical integration across diverse operational tools. According to Lexful's CEO and statements made during the episode, the platform has completed integrations with major PSA and RMM tools and now handles data by employing a “context-engineered” large language model tailored specifically to the MSP context. Lexful claims its engine minimizes LLM hallucinations, supports record-level access control, and functions as a system of record rather than a direct action platform. Socializing its compliance trajectory, Lexful has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 and shipped its MCP server, but its listing in marketplaces like Pax8 and SureWeb has been delayed, with current status characterized as “coming soon” and full integration targeted before the end of 2026. Supporting developments underscore the complexity and risk of deploying AI-native platforms into MSP environments. The absence of public customer or partner counts persists, with the company attributing constrained accessibility to pending integrations rather than lack of market uptake. Pricing structures diverge from incumbents, moving from per-user to per-client models and establishing minimum contract terms—raising questions about justification of cost versus legacy alternatives. A key operational risk centers on access control and human-in-the-loop governance, with sensitive systems such as password vaults only accessible through layered permissions, and Lexful emphasizing the necessity of robust accountability frameworks to minimize harm from potential automation failures. Practical implications for MSPs include heightened need for rigorous governance of AI systems, especially around data access, role management, and auditability. Vendor dependency deepens as platforms like Lexful supplant multiple existing tools and drive uptake via deeper integration with distribution marketplaces and SaaS ecosystems. Pricing and contract structures require MSPs to reconsider value calculations, as cost is no longer purely user-driven but tied to client volume and operational breadth. The tradeoff is between purported efficiency gains from automation and the risk profile associated with delegating documentation and knowledge management to AI-based infrastructure, particularly as human oversight remains essential to mitigate errors and ensure regulatory compliance.

Recorded live at SOMA 26Dr. Emily Johnston (Cascadia Mountain Institute) and SFC Ezequiel Mendoza (Arctic Dustoff, Fairbanks) deliver a hard-hitting, field-validated look at how standard tactical medical gear and medications actually perform—and fail—in true Arctic and extreme cold conditions. Drawing from cold-soak testing, simulated combat exercises, and real operational experience, they break down battery and fluid-warmer failures, rapid freezing of IV tubing and blood sets, medication storage realities, tourniquet performance, and the critical need for early frostbite interventions like ibuprofen and iloprost far forward. Practical fieldcraft solutions, insulation strategies, and clear calls for better-designed cold-weather medical systems are front and center.Key TakeawaysNo electronic or mechanical medical device (IV pumps, Buddy Lite warmers, etc.) can be trusted to operate unprotected in Arctic conditions—insulate everything, including fluids and tubing.Fluids and tubing freeze extremely quickly and become brittle; passive warming solutions using insulated containers + chemical heat packs can keep fluids viable for many hours even at –20°F to –30°F.Body heat (base-layer transport systems worn against the skin) is the only reliably consistent way to prevent medication freezing during multi-day cold operations; outer pockets, med boxes, and sling packs routinely fail.Current blood administration sets create major clotting and failure points in the cold; shorter, fully insulated, or redesigned kits are needed.Most common tourniquets performed adequately after freeze-thaw cycles; metal windlasses held up better than plastic ones under extreme cold.Reperfusion injury is the dominant mechanism of tissue loss in frostbite. Early NSAID (ibuprofen) loading and rapid iloprost administration dramatically improve outcomes, yet cold-chain and far-forward delivery of iloprost remain unsolved problems.Manufacturer claims about extreme-cold performance often do not match real-world Arctic testing. Independent field validation is essential before relying on any device or medication in these environments.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Arctic strategic context04:45 – Operational realities: long evacuation times and limited cold-weather experience06:00 – Battery and device cold-soak testing (IV pump & Buddy Lite)09:20 – Functional testing: frozen pumps, ruptured warmer cartridges, and fluid output11:40 – Practical insulation and pre-warming techniques for fluids13:40 – Medication transport failures vs. base-layer body-heat solutions18:50 – Blood product challenges and call for redesigned cold-weather kits20:20 – Tourniquet performance after freeze-thaw cycles21:15 – Frostbite pathophysiology and the critical role of early ibuprofen + iloprost27:20 – Path forward: needed research, device redesign, and medication stability after freezing29:40 – Closing remarks and Q&A discussionFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this webinar, Nirvani Umadat opens with the topic “Moving Beyond Bacteria and Brushing for Whole Body Dentistry.” She explains that the session will examine the common dental story that bacteria and sugar cause cavities, look at why brushing and flossing have become the central focus of dental care, and offer a different way to understand teeth, the mouth, and their relationship to the rest of the body.Highlights from this session include:-Nirvani shares her background in conventional dental training, surgery, and later experiences that led her to question the bacteria-centered model of dental disease.-She discusses research and clinical observations that challenged the idea that “bad bacteria” or “too many bad bacteria” consistently explain dental disease.-She explains how the modern recommendation to brush twice daily was shaped, in part, by early toothpaste marketing around biofilm removal, rather than being purely grounded in dental science.-A discussion of Weston Price's work, including his observations that diet, food quality, traditional food preparation, grass-fed animal foods, fermented foods, and unprocessed foods played a major role in dental and overall health.-Nirvani reframes teeth as electrically conductive crystalline organs, explaining that teeth contain a crystalline hydroxyapatite structure and generate current through pressure and chewing.-She explains cavities as a breakdown or deconstruction of the tooth's crystalline matrix, rather than simply “holes” caused by bacteria.-A discussion of the traditional Chinese medicine meridian model and how teeth may relate to other organs through energetic pathways.-An introduction to psychoneuroodontology (PNO), which looks at the psychological, emotional, and spiritual components connected to dental issues.-Practical dental wellness suggestions, including nourishing traditional foods, nervous system regulation, proper chewing and dynamic function, saliva quality, remineralization, oil pulling, releasing jaw and facial tension, and holding an intention to heal.Questions discussed in this webinar include:-What kind of dental work is actually beneficial?-What's the best way to regenerate a missing tooth?-I never got my wisdom teeth removed. Is this good or bad? I have not experienced much trouble except for the cavities they filled with mercury.-Since brushing gets rid of bacteria which are beneficial, is it a harmful practice?-What's the best way to heal a cracked tooth?-Do metal and ceramic caps also have a current?-What about implants?-Does calculus need to be removed, or is it perhaps serving an intelligent purpose?-Can you heal a tooth under a crown?-If we're bombarded by toxins- and bacteria are there to help clean up the toxins, isn't it more important to keep the bacteria?Throughout the webinar, Nirvani emphasizes that the mouth is connected to the whole body, that teeth may be understood beyond the bacteria-and-brushing model, and that dental health can be approached through diet, charge, nervous system regulation, awareness, and supportive daily practices.Support the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg

Women are often told that working harder is the key to getting ahead. Deliver exceptional results, say yes to every opportunity, support the team, and eventually someone will notice. But for many women, that strategy doesn't lead to promotions—it leads to becoming indispensable in the very role they're trying to outgrow. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Patty Azzarello—author, speaker, business advisor, and former Fortune 500 executive—to unpack the unwritten rules that shape career advancement. Drawing from her own journey from awkward introvert to CEO before the age of 40, Patty shares the lessons she learned about visibility, executive presence, influence, and why competence alone is rarely enough to build a successful career. In This Episode, Nicole and Patty Discuss: Why being excellent at your job can actually keep you stuck in it. The hidden career rules that no one teaches—but everyone is expected to know. The difference between being busy, being valuable, and being visible. Why women often take on "office housework" that doesn't advance their careers. How to identify the work that creates the greatest value for the business. Practical strategies for saying no without damaging relationships. Why executive presence is often poorly defined—and how to build it authentically. How bringing humanity to leadership creates greater influence than trying to be impressive. Why visibility matters just as much as performance when it comes to promotions. Simple ways to build relationships with senior leaders and decision-makers. The power of asking for help as a leadership skill. Why waiting until you feel ready often keeps you from your biggest opportunities. How healthy conflict strengthens leadership and decision-making. The career cost of constantly taking care of everyone else. This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone who has been told that hard work alone is enough. Patty offers a refreshing, practical perspective on what actually drives career growth—and how to start making those shifts today.  Thank you to our sponsors!

Have you achieved the success you once dreamed of, only to find yourself wondering, "Why doesn't this feel more fulfilling?" If so, you're not alone. In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Gay Hendricks joins me to explore why so many high-achieving physicians find themselves stuck despite doing work they're exceptionally good at. Together, we dive into his powerful concept of the Zone of Genius and how it can serve as a compass for creating a more meaningful, energized, and satisfying career and life. Dr. Gay Hendricks is a bestselling author, psychologist, and pioneer in the field of personal growth. Known for his influential books The Big Leap and The Genius Zone, he has spent decades helping people identify the hidden patterns that keep them from reaching their full potential. In this episode, he shares practical insights and inspiring stories to help physicians recognize when their genius is calling and how to begin answering that call without necessarily leaving medicine behind. In this episode we're talking about: The four zones of functioning: incompetence, competence, excellence, and genius Why physicians often get trapped in the Zone of Excellence Common signs that your Zone of Genius is trying to get your attention How fulfillment differs from success and achievement The role of wonder, curiosity, and commitment in discovering your genius Why you may not need a major career change to experience more meaning and satisfaction Practical ways to spend more time in your Zone of Genius starting today You can find the show notes for this episode and more information by clicking here: www.doctorscrossing.com/episode253 Links for this episode: The Big Leap, by Gay Hendricks www.hendricks.com www.foundationforconsciousliving.org https://www.facebook.com/relationshipadvice/?sk=app_2392950137#/relationshipadvice https://www.facebook.com/fclconnect https://www.instagram.com/hendrickscommunity https://www.youtube.com/@hendricksinstitute https://www.instagram.com/officialgayhendricks/ Private 1:1 Consultations – If you would like some confidential help with your career situation, I offer an hour-long paid consultation via Zoom.

Send us Fan MailManufacturers are under increasing pressure to adopt AI, yet many find it difficult to distinguish practical opportunities from market hype. In this webinar, we explore what AI actually looks like within a manufacturing ERP environment and where it can deliver measurable business value. We address common misconceptions, including the belief that AI requires replacing an existing ERP system, investing in enterprise-scale budgets, or operating as a Tier 1 manufacturer. Instead, attendees will learn how AI can enhance their current ERP platform by leveraging existing operational data to improve decision-making, automate routine processes, and increase overall business efficiency.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/ai-for-manufacturers-practical-erp-use-cases-without-a-costly-system-reset/Questions for Panelists?

How long does a pole vault pit actually last?It's one of the most common questions coaches ask, but the answer isn't as simple as 10 years, 15 years, or 20 years.In this episode of the Gill Connections Podcast, Mike Cunningham breaks down the factors that truly determine the lifespan of a pole vault pit and explains why age alone is often the wrong metric.You'll learn:✅ Why indoor pits often last longer than outdoor pits✅ How sun, rain, snow, and temperature changes impact pit life✅ The critical role weather covers and pit garages play✅ How usage volume affects foam, vinyl, and hardware✅ The difference between pit age and pit condition✅ What a pole vault pit warranty actually covers✅ Practical steps coaches can take to extend pit lifespan✅ Common warning signs that indicate repairs or replacement may be neededThroughout the discussion, Mike shares real-world examples from facility visits across the country, including pits that remained serviceable after 20+ years and others that required replacement much sooner due to environmental exposure, water intrusion, and maintenance issues.Whether you're evaluating your current pit, planning future budgets, or simply trying to protect one of the largest investments in your pole vault program, this episode provides practical guidance to help maximize safety and extend the life of your landing system.

For years, parents have been told to talk to their children about their feelings. But what if talking isn't always what children need most?In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, child psychologists Tammy Schamuhn and Tania Johnson challenge one of today's most common parenting messages. While emotional literacy is incredibly important, there are moments when constantly asking children how they feel can unintentionally keep them stuck in their emotions instead of helping them move through them.Tammy and Tania explore the difference between acknowledging feelings and over-focusing on them. They discuss why children need more than conversations—they need co-regulation, play, movement, connection, and opportunities to experience competence. You'll learn when to lean into emotional conversations, when to simply be present, and how to help children build resilience without making every difficult moment the center of attention.If you've ever wondered, "Am I talking about feelings too much?" this episode offers a balanced, compassionate perspective grounded in attachment, neuroscience, and child development.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why talking about feelings isn't always the most effective intervention.• The difference between validating emotions and unintentionally reinforcing them.• When children need connection instead of conversation.• How play, movement, and co-regulation help children process difficult emotions.• Why emotional resilience comes from experiencing feelings—not avoiding them or over-analyzing them.• Practical ways to respond when your child is upset without turning every moment into a therapy session.This conversation isn't about talking less with your child—it's about knowing when words help, when presence matters more, and how to support children in ways that foster lasting emotional health.

Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood - www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   Is your p*rn use actually an addiction?   Or is it simply a bad habit you should be able to stop with a little more discipline?   And where exactly is the line between the two?   In this Q&A episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich and Head Coach Arnold tackle a question many men wrestle with:   "Am I actually addicted to p*rn or just using it too much? Where's the line between a bad habit and a real addiction? How do I know if I need serious help versus just more willpower?"   The answer may be less about the label and more about what your relationship with P*rn is revealing about you.   Frank breaks down a simple definition of addiction: continuing or repeatedly engaging in a behavior despite negative consequences.   If P*rn is costing you time, focus, energy, intimacy, confidence, or integrity and you've repeatedly tried to stop but continue going back, the question may already be answering itself.   But Frank and Arnold take the conversation deeper.   Because even if you don't call it an "addiction," there's another question you have to confront:   Is this behavior aligned with the man you actually want to become?     In this episode, you'll discover: • The difference between a bad habit and compulsive Prn use • One simple question that can reveal whether you have a problem • Why willpower alone rarely creates lasting freedom • The 30-day challenge Frank gives men who believe they can quit anytime • How rationalization can keep you trapped in a behavior you know needs to change • Why Arnold believes acceptance must come before transformation • The role shame, guilt, and self-forgiveness can play in the relapse cycle • Why understanding why you're reaching for Prn matters more than simply fighting urges   • How identity transformation changes the recovery process • Why community and accountability are critical when you've repeatedly failed on your own • The three core components Frank believes men need for lasting freedom: community, identity transformation, and accountability   If you've ever told yourself… "It's not really affecting my life." "I could stop whenever I wanted." "I just need more discipline." …this conversation is for you.   Frank offers a challenge: If P*rn really isn't a big deal, remove it from your life for 30 days.   Pay attention not only to whether you can do it—but to what happens to your awareness, relationships, focus, and life when it's gone.   Because ultimately, whether you call it an addiction, compulsion, habit, or something else isn't the most important question.   If you know it's out of alignment with your values, you've tried to stop, and you keep going back, something needs to change.   And you don't have to figure it out alone.   Ready To Start Your Own Rebuild?   If you're tired of fighting this battle alone, join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood and begin your transformation with a FREE 7-Day Trial.   Inside the Brotherhood you'll get: Daily live coaching Group accountability A proven recovery roadmap Practical courses and tools A community of Christian men committed to lasting freedom   Stop trying to quit porn.

What if real mental strength isn't about pushing through—but knowing when you no longer have to? So many women become the person everyone depends on. They lead at work, care for their families, keep everything running, and somehow continue smiling while quietly carrying more than anyone realizes. In this deeply validating conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with psychotherapist, bestselling author, and mental strength expert Amy Morin to redefine what it truly means to be mentally strong. Drawing from her own profound experiences of losing both her mother and her husband unexpectedly, Amy shares how resilience isn't built by suppressing emotions or pretending everything is okay. Instead, it's developed through learning how to manage our thoughts, regulate our emotions, and take intentional actions that move us forward, even during life's hardest seasons. Together, they discuss why high-functioning women are especially vulnerable to burnout, how perfectionism and the inner critic keep us stuck, why "good enough" is often exactly what our families need, and how small daily resets can dramatically improve emotional resilience. Amy also shares practical tools for interrupting rumination, quieting negative self-talk, building self-compassion, reconnecting with your values, and creating simple habits that strengthen your mental health over time. If you've been holding everything together for everyone else while quietly wondering how much longer you can keep going, this conversation is the reminder that true strength isn't about carrying more. It's about knowing when it's safe to put some of it down. AMY MORIN Amy Morin is a licensed psychotherapist, bestselling author, keynote speaker, and host of the Mentally Stronger podcast. She is one of the world's leading experts on mental strength, and her TEDx Talk has been viewed millions of times. Her books, including 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do and The Mental Strength Playbook, have been translated into more than 50 languages. Through her work, Amy helps people build resilience, manage emotions, and develop healthier habits for navigating life's biggest challenges.

So why is it so easy to extend grace to everyone around you and so hard to give any to yourself? In this episode Celeste breaks down where the inner critic comes from, what chronic self criticism actually does to your nervous system, and why the compassion gap between how you treat others and how you treat yourself is one of the most important things to close on your healing journey. This one is going to hit. Come ready. Topics covered: Where the harsh inner critic originates The difference between shame and guilt — and why it matters What self criticism does to your body and nervous system The compassion gap and how to start closing it Practical ways to begin talking to yourself differently Classes Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow STWYT Wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram  

Do you ever feel like clutter isn't just messy—it's loud? For highly sensitive people, visual clutter can feel like constant noise, making it nearly impossible to relax, focus, or feel at peace in your own home.In this episode, Kathi Lipp continues her conversation with Cheri Gregory about the unique challenges HSPs face when it comes to decluttering. Together, they tackle real questions from Cheri's Sensitive and Strong community—questions about perfectionism, procrastination, sentimental items, and how to have productive conversations with loved ones about clutter.What Listeners Will DiscoverThe power of pre-deciding: Learn how to make decluttering decisions when you're calm so you don't get stuck in the emotional heat of the momentHow to handle items with emotional weight: Practical questions to ask yourself about kids' art, photos, letters, baby gear, and family heirloomsManaging visual reminders without chaos: Strategies for keeping necessary lists and notes without letting them take over your spaceHaving the clutter conversation: How to help loved ones understand that wanting a calm home isn't about control—it's about capacityKey TakeawaysPre-deciding is about borrowing wisdom from your calm self before your overwhelmed self walks into the closet. When you make decisions ahead of time—like "I only keep clothes that fit my current body and my current life"—you reduce the emotional labor of repeated decision-making.For sentimental items, Kathi suggests asking: "Does this represent this person, our season together, or a memory of us well?" and "Would I go looking for this if it were gone?" These questions help distinguish between items kept with love versus those kept from guilt or obligation.Perhaps most importantly, this episode reframes the conversation about clutter and capacity. A calm home isn't about control—it's about having the capacity to show up as your best self for the people you love.

All links mentioned in the post can be found here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/181 Have you ever wondered if ADHD could explain more than you think? Maybe you've always considered yourself disorganized, overwhelmed, or someone who just couldn't seem to "get it together." What if there was more to the story? In this episode, I'm joined by ADHD coach Andrea Morton for an eye-opening conversation about what ADHD really looks like in women. Andrea wasn't diagnosed until she was 48, while one of her children was going through the diagnostic process. That one discovery completely changed how she understood herself, her past, and the way she now supports other women. Andrea shares both her personal story and her professional expertise as we talk about why so many women go undiagnosed for years, how ADHD presents differently in women than in men, and why understanding your brain can replace years of self-criticism with self-compassion. Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you might have it, are raising a neurodivergent child, or coach clients who struggle with organization and follow-through, this conversation will leave you with a whole new perspective. What You'll Learn: Why so many women don't receive an ADHD diagnosis until adulthood. The common signs of ADHD in women that are often overlooked. How hyperfocus, procrastination, and rumination can all be connected and can look differently than you might think.  What rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) is and why it can affect relationships and confidence. Why understanding your brain leads to more self-compassion instead of self-judgment. Practical ways to work with your brain instead of constantly fighting against it. How ADHD impacts organization, prioritization, and running a business.    

I have never been much of a meditator. Sitting cross-legged on my bedroom floor, waiting for my brain to go quiet, has never once worked for me. I'm too in my head, too cerebral, too prone to just thinking harder instead of actually feeling calmer. So when I recorded this episode, I wasn't expecting to walk away from it more relaxed than I've felt in weeks. But that's exactly what happened.This week's guest is Layne Burkette, a licensed therapist who specializes in somatic and nervous system work.If you're heading into back-to-school season already feeling the overwhelm creep in, this conversation will give you real tools, not one more thing to add to your plate.
