Episode Summary:
In this episode, Dr. Evan Hirsch, a world-renowned expert on fatigue and sleep, joins us to explore the profound connection between betrayal trauma and chronic fatigue. Together, we uncover why betrayal wreaks havoc on your energy, hormones, and sleep patterns—and, most importantly, what you can do to start feeling like yourself again. If you're feeling exhausted, foggy-headed, or unable to sleep after betrayal, this episode is a must-listen.

    Key Topics Covered:
    1. The Science Behind Fatigue and Betrayal  How betrayal trauma creates stress that damages the mitochondria (your body's energy producers) and disrupts your hormones, particularly cortisol.  The cascading effects of chronic stress on your sleep cycle, immune system, and overall health.  Why betrayal often leads to feelings of extreme fatigue and "walking through mud."   2. Acute Fatigue vs. Chronic Fatigue  The difference between temporary fatigue caused by lack of sleep and chronic fatigue that persists for months.  Signs that your fatigue has become a chronic issue requiring deeper intervention.   3. The Impact of Poor Sleep on Your Health  The relationship between sleep deprivation and weakened immune function, inability to detoxify, and hormonal imbalances.  Why sleep is essential for brain health—your brain shrinks by 60% during sleep to "wring out" toxins.  The link between poor sleep and weight issues, accelerated aging, and blood sugar dysregulation.   4. Dr. Evan Hirsch's Four-Step Approach to Fatigue Recovery:  Identify Root Causes:  The "Toxic Five" that lead to chronic fatigue: heavy metals, chemicals, mold, infections, and trauma like betrayal.  Replace Deficiencies (check with your doctor first):  Boosting key hormones and nutrients (e.g., cortisol, thyroid, progesterone, B12) to restore balance and recreate a healthy circadian rhythm.  Open Detox Pathways:  Supporting liver, kidney, and lymphatic drainage to help your body eliminate toxins effectively.  Remove the "Toxic Five":  Gradually addressing heavy metals, molds, and other underlying toxins to support long-term healing.   Practical Tips for Improving Sleep and Energy:  Start with mindset work: Reframe limiting beliefs and focus on empowering questions like, “How can I love myself more today?”  Use simple breathing techniques and nervous system retraining to move out of fight-or-flight mode into rest-and-digest.  Focus on small lifestyle changes: hydration, proper nutrition, and gentle movement if you're too fatigued for rigorous exercise.  Remember that healing takes time—especially when addressing deeper toxic burdens alongside trauma recovery.   How Fatigue Affects Other Areas of Your Life:  Brain Fog: A lack of sleep and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to difficulty focusing and thinking clearly.  Hormonal Imbalances: Chronic stress compromises adrenal and sex hormone function, worsening symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and disrupted cycles.  Accelerated Aging: Stress and hormonal imbalances lead to wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and other signs of aging—but healing can reverse these effects.   Key Takeaways:  Betrayal trauma sets off a cascade of stress responses that deplete your energy and disrupt your sleep.  Addressing root causes—hormonal imbalances, toxic burdens, and nervous system dysregulation—is essential for long-term recovery.  Small, actionable steps like mindset shifts, proper nutrition, and breathwork can help you start regaining control and energy today.   Resources Mentioned:  Dr. Evan Hirsch's Website: EnergyMDMethod.com  Masterclass: Learn more about Dr. Hirsch's approach to addressing fatigue and sleep issues.  The PBT Institute: Explore programs designed to help you heal from betrayal and rebuild your energy and life.  Connect with Us:  Visit The PBT Institute for resources to move from betrayal to breakthrough.  Check out Dr. Hirsch's previous masterclass inside The PBT Institute for more insights on improving sleep and energy.   Closing Message:
Healing from betrayal and regaining your energy is possible. Take the first step toward restorative sleep and vibrant health by addressing the root causes of your fatigue. Together, we can help you reclaim your power and move toward breakthrough.

Do you dream of being financially free but are unsure where to start? Stay with us—we're here to help.Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different things. Today, we'll share the steps to achieve financial freedom, but the decision to take action is yours. Like most worthwhile goals, it starts with the desire and determination to make it happen.Start with a Mindset ShiftFinancial freedom begins with a change in perspective. Many people approach budgets like a diet—focused on restriction and deprivation. Just as restrictive diets often lead to overeating, feeling financially deprived can lead to overspending.Why does this happen? The Bible identifies underlying issues like greed, envy, covetousness, or a lack of faith in God's provision. To overcome these, you need to cultivate gratitude.As 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says:“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”Gratitude shifts your focus from what you lack to what you have, enabling contentment and a more positive relationship with your budget.Practical Tips for Living Below Your MeansOnce your mindset is aligned, it's time to take action. Here are some practical steps to help you live below your means:1. Build MarginHaving money left over at the end of the month is critical for financial freedom. Start by scrutinizing your fixed expenses:Can you lower your mortgage payment by eliminating PMI?Reduce energy costs by being more efficient.Cancel unused streaming subscriptions or other recurring charges.Sometimes, simply asking for a discount—on medical bills or repairs—can save money. It never hurts to ask!2. Track Your SpendingKnowing where your money goes is essential. The FaithFi app is an excellent tool for setting up a budget and tracking your spending. It can highlight areas where you can cut back, like unused subscriptions, potentially saving hundreds of dollars annually.3. Celebrate Small WinsBudgeting doesn't have to feel like a punishment. Reward yourself for hitting financial milestones:Treat your family to ice cream after a week of staying on budget.Celebrate building your emergency fund with a special dinner.These small rewards keep you motivated without derailing your financial progress.4. Delay Non-Essential ExpensesStretch out spending for non-essentials like salon visits or subscriptions. For example, getting your nails done every six weeks instead of four can save $100 a year.5. Declutter and Sell Unused ItemsIf you're paying for storage, consider selling items you no longer need. A good rule of thumb: Let it go if you haven't used it in a year. This can free up cash and eliminate unnecessary expenses.Increase Your IncomeIf you've trimmed your expenses but still struggle to live below your means, it's time to explore ways to boost your income.Take on a side job in the gig economy.Pick up extra hours at work or ask for a raise.Leverage your skills for freelance or consulting opportunities.Even a modest income increase can significantly improve your financial situation over time.Learning to live below your means allows you to serve God more fully, free from the weight of financial stress. It's a journey of faith, discipline, and intentionality, but the rewards—both spiritual and financial—are worth it.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I recently left a domestic violence situation and will be receiving around $200,000 from the sale of our home. I have limited income and minimal debt. Should I use the home sale proceeds to pay off all my debt to start fresh, or should I keep the debt and make payments to rebuild my credit while holding onto the home sale money for a year or two?I'm turning 65 in March and will be Medicare-eligible. However, I plan to continue working and have employer-sponsored insurance, including an HSA, to which I contribute. I've heard conflicting information—can I continue not enrolling in Medicare now, and can my employer continue contributing to my HSA?My IRA advisor is transferring to LPL Financial. Charles Schwab recommended that I roll over my $300,000 IRA to them and invest directly in stocks rather than mutual funds, saying I was too conservatively invested. Should I stay with my current advisor as they move to LPL, or should I look for a new advisor at Charles Schwab or elsewhere?I have one loan left, a 7.25% bank loan of about $20,000. I also took out a $14,000 401(k) loan. I plan to retire in May when I turn 65. Would it be best for me to pay off both of these loans before I retire, even though it would mean withdrawing from my 401(k) to pay off that loan?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationNerdWalletLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

What are some of the nutritional benefits of dairy? Should we be recommending that people replace cow milk with a plant-based alternative? There's a lot of talk of dairy causing inflammation.

Guest: Raheem Madjavi, President of Knightsbridge Foreign Exchange Topic: Currency Exchange, Interest Rates, and Economic Trends Key Points Discussed: 1. Knightsbridge FX Overview o Knightsbridge FX specializes in currency exchange services, offering better rates than banks for buying/selling US dollars. o It's often cheaper than using traditional banks, but users should shop around. 2. Factors Influencing the Canadian Dollar (CAD) o The CAD's strength depends on the relative performance of the Canadian and US economies. o A stronger US economy draws investment, strengthening the US dollar. o Recent trends:  Canada is cutting interest rates faster than the US, driving funds into the US.  Economic uncertainty, such as potential tariffs, creates a risk premium that weakens the CAD. 3. Inflation and Interest Rates o Lower inflation in Canada allows for more rate cuts to stimulate the economy. o The US economy remains robust, leading to fewer rate cuts. o Rate cuts in Canada could continue, potentially weakening the CAD further in the short term. 4. Tariff Concerns and Economic Risks o Tariffs could severely impact the Canadian economy, pushing the CAD down further. o If implemented, the CAD could weaken to 1.50 against the USD. 5.

Practical Tips for Investors o Buy currency only when needed rather than speculating on future rates. o Accept that currency markets are volatile and plan investments to account for fluctuations. 8. Closing Thoughts o Stability in currency rates is desirable for investors and businesses. o Successful investments should generate returns that outweigh short-term currency fluctuations. o Focus on long-term goals rather than being distracted by market timing.

Recently named one of The Hollywood Reporter's 40 Most Powerful People in Podcasting, Huberman breaks down complex scientific topics into actionable advice—and today, we're tackling some of his hottest takes on caffeine, nicotine, VO₂ max, and the keys to a long, healthy life. 6 Million Subscribers & Counting: Huberman's podcast is a beacon for anyone curious about optimizing their health and performance. Approachable Science: From explaining the impact of alcohol on your brain to teaching you how to sleep better, Huberman combines scientific rigor with practical, everyday relevance. Huberman answers 10 big questions about staying youthful, boosting energy, and living longer. Here's a sneak peek at the key topics we unpack: 2.1. Caffeine: Friend or Foe? What Huberman Says: A modest caffeine intake can enhance focus and energy without jittery side effects—but it's not a health panacea. Our Hot Take: While caffeine can provide a quick boost, it pales in comparison to the profound benefits of aerobic fitness and VO₂ max improvement. 2.2. The Nicotine Debate: Brain Boost or Bad Idea? What Huberman Says: Non-carcinogenic nicotine (via gum or mints) can improve memory and energy—but it's not without risks. Our Hot Take: The potential cognitive perks of nicotine don't outweigh the long-term risks to cardiovascular health and its addictive nature. What's VO₂ Max? A measure of how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. Huberman's Insight: Improving VO₂ max through regular high-intensity exercise can reduce mortality risk by up to 400%—far more impactful than dietary tweaks or supplements. Key Takeaways: Start small with consistent aerobic workouts (e.g., brisk walking, cycling, swimming). Incorporate high-intensity intervals to challenge your cardiovascular system. Track progress with wearables or fitness apps to stay motivated. “Improving VO₂ max doesn't just extend your life—it transforms how you live.” “Caffeine and nicotine are quick fixes, but cardiorespiratory fitness is the ultimate energy upgrade.” Swap caffeine dependency for consistent aerobic exercise. Focus on long-term health levers like VO₂ max rather than short-term stimulants. Check out Andrew Huberman's Huberman Lab podcast for more science-backed tips.

On this week's episode of Sense, by Meg Faure, we explore the transformative power of play in child development. Play is more than just fun; it's a cornerstone of learning, curiosity, and connection. Joining Meg is Lara Schoenfeldt, co-founder of PlaySense and an occupational therapist. Together, they dive into the profound impact play has on children's cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Whether you're a new parent or looking to enhance your child's playtime, this episode is packed with practical advice and fascinating insights. The Science Behind Play Play is critical for brain development, fostering connections between neurons through sensory and motor experiences. Lara explains the play cycle, showing how curiosity, exploration, and repetition fuel learning. Chemicals like dopamine and serotonin are released during play, reinforcing positive behaviors and supporting emotional growth. Structured vs. Unstructured Play The discussion highlights the importance of balancing structured and unstructured play. Structured play involves guidance and builds specific skills, like language and problem-solving. Unstructured play, or free play, allows children to explore, create, and develop independence. Both types of play are essential for holistic development. Practical Tips for Incorporating Play Lara shares actionable ways to integrate play into daily routines. These include simple activities like reading, messy play, and “serve and return” interactions. She emphasizes that the quality of parent-child engagement is more important than the type of play. Embracing Your Play Style Parents have unique strengths when it comes to play. Lara's parenting play style quiz helps identify these strengths. Understanding your style allows you to focus on enjoyable activities, making playtime meaningful for you and your child. The power of play cannot be overstated—it shapes your child's mind, emotions, and relationships. This podcast equips you with scientific insights and practical tools to make the most of playtime. Tune in to discover how small changes in your approach can unlock your child's full potential. Don't miss this enriching episode of Sense, by Meg Faure!

What We're Talking About People pleasing is often a learned behavior from a young age. It's important to recognize that overwhelm can be situational, not a personal flaw. Setting boundaries is crucial for mental health and well-being. Social media can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy and pressure to perform. Women often feel the need to over-deliver in both personal and professional settings. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a necessary step. It's okay to prioritize your own needs over others. The journey of writing a book can lead to self-discovery and reflection. Implementing a system of prioritizing tasks can reduce overwhelm. Self-care is essential for maintaining balance in life.

Humans are very adaptive, and when they see somebody else doing something, then they tend to think, 'I can do this too.' And as Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, all our states of consciousness have come because of our previous sangas. There was a curious case about how people used to think that they couldn't run a mile in under four minutes, and it persisted for centuries. There were theories that you could not do it, otherwise your heart would explode, and so forth. Then there was this doctor named Roger Bannister, who was also a runner, and he practiced and practiced. Eventually, he beat the four-minute mile. After that, it became commonplace; everybody did it, and it just became the standard. Now in college, if you don't run under a four-minute mile, you're not really on the team. So, you know, when we see a higher standard in other people, we tend to think, 'Oh, maybe it's possible I can do it also.' And we don't come to that awareness until we come into the association of those who have a higher standard. I remember being at some temple, I was taking devotees on sankirtana. There was this one devotee who, every time he got in the van, he'd immediately start reading. He'd be chanting all the time, not in an annoying way, but it was just noticeable that he was enthusiastic about not wasting any time. Everybody on the party noticed it and felt that, 'Oh, I should be doing that too.' So we tend to pick up from others. Or monkey see, monkey do.
