“I'm patient. I call it aggressively patient. I'm going hard for it all — but if it doesn't happen, there's still a process and I chip away for next time. That's how you become a champion. You don't just go out there and run and win. You have to have a journey and work hard. I'm always going hard.”Welcome back to Office Hours on the CITIUS MAG Podcast, where we explore the philosophy of the coaches who push the edges of human potential with some of the best athletes in track and field.Today's guest is someone who has climbed to some of the highest highs in the sport. Joanna Hayes is an Olympic gold medalist, a Hall of Famer, and currently the director of track and field and cross country at her alma mater UCLA. In 2024, she was named USATF's Coach of the Year — a recognition not just for her competitive pedigree, but her ability to cultivate greatness in others.She's coached legends like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Rai Benjamin, ushered in record-breaking seasons at both USC and UCLA, and she's done it all while remaining grounded in values of respect, discipline, family, and joy. In this conversation, we explore what success does and doesn't change about how she leads, what it feels like to return to the place where it all started, the realities of coaching both elite professionals and college athletes and how the two are more connected than you think.We talk about legacy, resilience, motherhood, and what it means to show up not just as a coach, but as a human being who makes space for culture, connection, and yes, sometimes TikToks and fresh fits. Coach Hayes's story is one of full circle moments and forward motion. She's creating a new chapter at UCLA and you'll hear in this conversation why it's one worth watching and rooting for.

In this episode, I sit down with my buddy Michael Varady for a wide-ranging conversation that covers way more than just tagging a buck. We dig into the lessons learned from switching between traditional and compound bows, how target panic creeps in, and why consistent practice—both physical and mental—is critical if you want to stay sharp when it counts. Michael's gearing up for a big move and exploring new hunting ground, so we break down what it takes to scout fresh terrain, build a plan from scratch, and adapt to unfamiliar areas. We also dive into blood trailing, shot placement, thermals, and the reality of marginal hits—stuff every serious hunter wrestles with eventually. Whether you're slinging a stickbow or shooting a compound, this episode is about progression, patience, and owning every step of the process. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 442 Target panic is real—sharpening your mental game can help beat it. Practicing under pressure matters; you shoot how you train, especially when it counts. Tracking wounded deer—every decision matters. Trail cams help, but nothing replaces time in the woods. Visualization isn't fluff—it's a skill that separates consistent killers from the rest. New terrain brings new challenges, but adapting to it builds better hunters. Every missed shot, busted stalk, and long blood trail teaches you something.

As we come to the end of another school year in the US, we take a moment to ponder the question: What is it that a BCBA is supposed to do when they work in a school context? And to help us answer that question, we've enlisted the help of the other half of one of our favorite behavior analyst duos, John Staubitz! John walks us through all the stuff about comprehending the school ecology that you didn't learn in grad school—unless you went to teacher grad school—like the laws and regulations that mandate policies and the do's and dont's of providing services to students. If you haven't set foot in a public school since you grabbed your old principal handed you a diploma, you're about to take the first step into a larger world.

Have you ever lived in a mindset where you're basically waiting for the other shoe to drop, hope feels impossible or too dangerous? It can feel safer to fly low, embrace pessimism and cynicism and think, “if life turns out half as bad as I imagine, then at least I'll be ready for it.” That's the kind of mindset Stephanie had when she was younger. Stephanie welcomes Nicole Zasowski, author and therapist, who shares wisdom on reclaiming joy and celebration in a world often dominated by worry and pessimism. Nicole's journey and research reveal that joy isn't just an emotional response, but a courageous, spiritual discipline rooted in God's faithfulness. Despite her deep faith, she had concluded that joy and celebration were risky. She was sure that celebration would come with a catch, so she became practiced in praying for the miracle while preparing to mourn and dreaming while rehearsing disaster. And yet she discovered that our methods of self-protection came at a cost. A lot of the loss we experience in our lives is not only the grief and the disappointment itself, but also the joy that we overlook because we are too afraid to embrace it, she tells us. That's the conversation on Gospel Spice today. Understanding the Struggle with Joy Nicole begins by dispelling the myth that celebration and joy come naturally to her—in fact, her books were born from seasons marked by change, loss, and disappointment. Through experiences like moving across the country and enduring infertility and miscarriages, Nicole discovered a heartbreaking truth: much of her loss was not just in what she lacked, but in her refusal to embrace the goodness that God placed in her path out of fear that it would be taken away. This led her into research, both biblical and scientific, to understand why joy can feel so vulnerable and difficult, especially when we've experienced pain. Redefining Celebration: A Spiritual Discipline American and Western cultures, Nicole notes, often see celebration as a reward for good news or accomplishments. However, the Bible—especially the Old Testament—demonstrates celebration as a spiritual rhythm and discipline, not just a reaction. The Israelites practiced regular, scheduled celebrations and feasts, regardless of their current circumstances. These rhythms were not designed to reward themselves for their goodness, but to remember and honor God's consistent faithfulness. Celebration, then, is about choosing remembrance: looking back at God's goodness and letting that fuel hope, courage, and anticipation about the future—even when circumstances are hard. The Vulnerability of Joy Joy is inherently vulnerable because it opens our hearts to the possibility of loss. For those who have experienced pain, pessimism and cynicism can become self-protective mechanisms. However, Nicole's research and experience as a therapist show that numbing ourselves to joy doesn't actually protect us. Rather, it diminishes our ability to savor God's goodness and leaves us empty-handed in difficult times. Practical Tools for Practicing Joy Nicole emphasizes that joy, like any virtue, can and must be intentionally practiced. Two key habits can help rewire our hearts toward joy: 1.      Savoring: Take mental “snapshots” of small moments, deliberately noticing what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. This helps your brain store joyful experiences that might otherwise go unnoticed. 2.      Thanksgiving (vs. gratitude): Beyond silently feeling grateful, speak and express thanks out loud—to God or others. Research shows that this actually heightens and solidifies joy inside us. Key Takeaways from our conversation ·         Joy and celebration are not merely emotions; they are spiritual practices and choices that shape us. ·         God invites us into rhythms of celebration even when our feelings or circumstances do not match, because it roots us deeper in remembrance of His faithfulness. ·         Practicing joy often feels counterintuitive—especially in pain—but it is the way God designed us to process life and hope. ·         Tools like savoring and thanksgiving can help transform our hearts and brains to default toward joy instead of worry or cynicism. Nicole encourages us that it's never too late to begin practicing joy, regardless of our life's season. The discipline of joy prepares us for eternity, deepening our delight in God and training our hearts for hope and celebration—no matter what comes our way. MORE ABOUT NICOLE ZASOWSKI Nicole Zasowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of What If It's Wonderful, From Lost to Found and her new Bible Study Daring Joy. She is also the coauthor of Advances and Techniques in Restoration Therapy and Families and Forgiveness. As a writer who wears her heart proudly on her sleeve, Nicole's work is a weave of biblical wisdom, psychological expertise, and vulnerable storytelling. Often praised for her wisdom and approachable style, Nicole is a sough-after speaker, frequently teaching at conferences, retreats, and women's events around the country on topics that integrate faith and psychology. In addition to her private practice, Nicole's therapeutic work has included teaching as an adjunct professor at Alliance Theological Seminary in New York and leading marriage intensives at the Hideaway Experience. Nicole and her husband, Jimmy, are the grateful parents of three young children. Her favorite place to be is looking for sea glass on the Connecticut shoreline, exploring a New England town or New York City neighborhood, or sitting in her front yard around a fire with her family, friends, and neighbors. Meet Nicole at https://www.nicolezasowski.com/  MORE ABOUT “DARING JOY” Joy can feel risky. When you've experienced pain of any kind, it can feel easier not to dream than to be disappointed, or not to hope than to be left heartbroken. If you ever feel like it's safer not to embrace joy at all than to hold something that might break, you're not alone. Thankfully, the Bible paints a different picture—one that gives you the courage to hold on to joy regardless of your circumstances. https://www.nicolezasowski.com/daring-joy  MORE ABOUT “WHAT IF IT'S WONDERFUL” What If It's Wonderful? Author and marriage and family therapist Nicole Zasowski knows that it's difficult to trust joy and find the courage to celebrate when you have endured seasons of disappointment and despair. When God has been your faithful anchor in the storm, does joy then leave you unmoored? Nicole reminds us that we can stay tethered to the hope of Christ in seasons of celebration, because even joyful days hold the learning, growth, and intimate encounters with Jesus that our hearts crave. What If It's Wonderful? offers a new perspective. With a compelling psychological and spiritual case for the importance of embracing joy and celebration, even when it feels scary. https://www.nicolezasowski.com/wonderful  We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 5 - Diminishing the Uniqueness of Christ, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. John Mark Comer claims that we can "do as Jesus did." Bob DeWaay shows that to "do as He did" assumes that you have to "be who He is." We cannot do what Jesus did - He is completely unique. We are called to do what He commanded, not to do what He did.

In Episode 240 of The Business Development Podcast, we welcome back former FBI Special Agent and behavioral expert Dr. Jack Schafer for an eye-opening conversation on the power of influence, trust-building, and the subtle science of deception detection. Drawing from his groundbreaking work in counterintelligence and his bestselling books The Like Switch and The Truth Detector, Dr. Schafer unpacks the psychological techniques used to build rapport, uncover hidden truths, and ethically guide conversations in both business and life. Whether you're negotiating deals, leading teams, or building relationships, the insights shared here are nothing short of transformative.Kelly and Dr. Schafer explore real-world examples of elicitation—how subtle cues and well-placed questions can unlock critical information without confrontation. From reading non-verbal cues to crafting empathetic statements, you'll learn how to master the unspoken side of communication and gain an edge in high-stakes interactions. This episode is packed with practical takeaways that can immediately elevate your ability to connect, persuade, and lead with confidence.Key Takeaways:1. People have a powerful psychological need to correct others, making “presumptive statements” a highly effective elicitation tool.2. Friendship signals—like eyebrow flashes, head tilts, and genuine smiles—are subtle but vital cues for building trust and rapport.3. The principle of “If I make you feel good about you, you'll like me” underpins nearly every successful relationship-building strategy.4. Elicitation works best when it's undetectable; most people won't even realize they've revealed valuable information.5. Empathic statements keep the focus on the other person and can deepen trust faster than direct questioning ever could.6. Bracketing (giving a high and low estimate) invites correction and is a powerful way to learn sensitive information like salaries or margins.7. Direct flattery can raise defenses, but indirect praise through intermediaries or subtle validation builds influence.8. Effective listening means silencing your internal dialogue and responding to what's actually said, not what you plan to say next.9. Most people are already using elicitation techniques unknowingly—naming them allows you to master and defend against them.10. Practicing one technique at a time builds confidence and competence; start with presumptive and build from there.

What if burnout isn't just a personal failure, but a leadership blind spot?In this third episode of our Built to Lead series, host Bridgit Norris sits down with Lexlee Overton—veteran trial lawyer, executive coach, and founder of Mind Over Law—for a conversation that goes far deeper than self-care clichés.You'll learn why exhaustion is baked into the legal culture, how to rewire your nervous system for clarity and performance, and what it really takes to lead without sacrificing your well-being.If you're done glorifying grind and ready to reclaim your energy, this episode offers the exact tools to start now. Don't wait for your body to force the change—this is your wake-up call.Key Takeaways from Bridgit and Lexlee:1. Prioritize Energy Before ProductivityBefore diving into your tasks, take a moment to check in with your energy levels instead of your calendar.By starting the day with a short practice, such as breathwork or intentional movement, you lay the foundation for sustainable focus and clearer decision-making.2. Replace Hustle with CoherencyInstead of powering through stress with more hustle, learn to create internal alignment. Practicing simple techniques like heart-centered breathing before a meeting or tough conversation helps regulate your nervous system and keeps your response intentional, not reactive.3. Time Audit to Reclaim HoursFeeling overwhelmed? Start with a week-long time audit, tracking your tasks in 15-minute increments.This will reveal where your time and energy are going—and more importantly, what you can delegate or eliminate to free up space for what matters most.4. Set a Team Baseline for Emotional Check-insTo prevent burnout from spreading through your team, embed emotional awareness into your weekly stand-ups.Begin each meeting with three prompts: share one win, one current challenge, and one way the team can support you—this builds a culture of trust and shared accountability.5. Reframe the “No Time” NarrativeIf your go-to thought is, “I don't have time,” pause and challenge it.Just three minutes of gratitude-focused breathing can reset your state, calm your mind, and boost your capacity, proving that restoration doesn't have to be time-consuming to be effective. "If you're showing up overwhelmed, you're impacting your team. Like that one: you're not performing, you're not delegating, you're not doing the things that you should be doing, and you also are impacting them in response to that." — Lexlee OvertonGet in touch with Lexlee Overton:Website: https://mindoverlaw.com/Show: Mind Over Law: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-over-law-with-lexlee-overton/id1755386630LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lexleeoverton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lexleeoverton/Are you a high-achieving woman in law ready to become a powerhouse CEO?Then HER Law was built for you.

Jeannette talks candidly about her recent health challenges and the subsequent journey of recovery. Reflecting on the forced pause in her life, she discusses the valuable lessons learned about health, resilience, and the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people. The episode emphasises the significance of prioritising health, recognising one's limitations, and reassessing personal and professional relationships Jeannette explains how: The experience of illness has reinforced the understanding that health is the foundation of everything. Without good health, other aspects of life become secondary. Acknowledging that no one is invincible serves as a wake-up call to prioritise self-care and balance ambition with well-being. The support of the right people during tough times highlights the significance of surrounding oneself with caring and reliable individuals, while also recognising those who may not reciprocate. Regularly reflecting on what one is grateful for can shift focus from negativity to positivity, fostering a more joyful outlook on life. The realisation that time is limited encourages a more intentional approach to how one spends it, emphasising the need to engage in activities and relationships that are both useful and joyful.

Reclaim the greatest commandment as your compass: Love God, love yourself, love others—starting in this very moment. - Gem Fadling, host of the Unhurried Living Podcast In today's Your Daily Prayer episode, Gem Fadling leads us into a grounding reflection on love and presence—two seemingly simple but profoundly powerful spiritual practices. In a world overwhelmed by noise, division, and distraction, we are invited to return to Jesus’ greatest commandment: to love God and love others.

Together, we'll explore: What inspired The Path and why it's so needed now How trusting God (not just pleasing Him) changes everything Why following Jesus sometimes feels harder after you surrender—and how that's part of real transformation How families, not just individuals, can be reshaped by grace You're in the Right Place If… You're tired of knowing about grace but still feeling stuck. Maybe you're looking for God's approval. Maybe you're looking for man's approval. Maybe you're tired of looking for approval, and you're ready to admit you're looking for meaning and purpose.  You're not sure about Jesus - and you're really not sure about a life of faith. Too much of what you see either lacks authenticity or adds too much pressure…but, honestly, you're tired of dreading Mondays…so if there's more to the Jesus story than you've experienced so far…you're curious. You're ready to stop trying to figure it out alone—and start walking the path of grace with Jesus. Favorite quotes from today's conversation:  (Doug's favorite) “Each and every one of us longs for fulfillment. It's in our bones, in our blood, in our breath. We sense that we are made for peace and joy and yet it slips through our grasping fingers like water and wind. Breathe. Find the courage to look at your longing, at your closed fists. And ask: What have I been searching for?” (The City, The Path) (Janet's favorite) “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." (Frederick Buechner) “Every morning we stand on the wild edge of a story unfolding beneath our very feet.” (The Story, The Path)

Open and honest, warm and approachable. Father O'Brien gives priests a great name. He has made such a positive imprint on our community, and we are sad to see him move on to his next assignment, as is the dedicated life of a priest. Listen as this Bloomington native turned nomadic priest talks rectory life, choosing to attend seminary and the low rate of graduates, what his parents thought of his life choice, keeping a line between being the "cool" priest and reverence, the new pope and the excitement that brings to the country and the faith, relying on a greater power to inform all decisions and finding peace in that. What an honor to interview someone so open to any and all questions regarding a calling that is often stigmatized. Father O'Brien was a pleasure, thoughtful and a great example of practicing what you preach.I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor Illini Pella Windows & Doors of Champaign.

Harriet Frost is a force of energy, endurance, and entrepreneurial grit.  From completing the notorious Arc of Attrition 100-mile ultra twice, to directing multiple trail races, to co-founding a menstrual cup company focused on sustainable period care for athletes — Harriet is redefining what it means to pursue hard things, in business and on the trail. In this episode, Harriet shares her journey from growing up in Cornwall to discovering a love of endurance sport later in life — despite hating running at first. With no formal coaching, she's built her own training strategy based on experience, discipline, and gut instinct — and it's taken her to the finish lines of some of the UK's most brutal ultra events. We also dive into the founding of Sea+Flo, a period care company created by women, for women, aiming to empower people to better understand and manage their menstrual health during sport. Harriet speaks candidly about the mental strength required to train alone, run in the dark, and manage periods while racing, as well as her mission to bring more female voices to the forefront of adventure and endurance media. This is a conversation about grit, vulnerability, and showing up — again and again — even when the path ahead is long, muddy, and uncertain.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

In this episode, Lisa and Alison Slater discuss:Mastering college interviews as a tool for standing out in competitive admissionsBuilding confidence and communication through intentional interview prepNavigating different formats and policies of college interviewsApplying interview skills to scholarships, internships, and future jobsKey Takeaways: Starting interview prep in junior year helps students take advantage of early opportunities, including summer interviews and scholarship deadlines that may come before applications.Building a personal elevator pitch and identifying 3–5 core values allows students to answer questions with clarity and purpose across interviews and essays.Practicing out loud and doing mock interviews with someone objective improves delivery, boosts confidence, and helps uncover forgotten strengths.AI can support interview prep and school research, but the interview itself remains a valuable, real-time moment for students to show authenticity and create a personal connection.“Interview prep is a combination of preparing the skills that you need... and doing the self-reflection to be able to speak about your experiences eloquently.” – Alison SlaterAbout Alison Slater: Alison attended Bucknell University and worked in selective college admissions for fifteen years. Interviews were her favorite part of the college application process, but she found they often became missed opportunities when students arrived nervous or unprepared. Now, Alison helps students make strong impressions by preparing thoughtfully and approaching each interview with a clear plan.Episode References:#170 AI and College Essays: What Families Need to Know with Susan Knoppow: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/170#173 The Top 3 Scholarship Essays That Win Money with Leia LeMaster Horton: https://flourishcoachingco.com/173Alison's Practice Interview Questions: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6680dabe235f54454a61cb47/t/67e1d8b1e9be040252804a25/1742854322162/Common+Interview+Questions.pdfGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Alison:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/interviewprepllc/Website: http://www.interviewprepllc.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alison-slater/ & https://www.linkedin.com/company/interview-prep-llc/Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Practicing the Way It's His church, but it's our assignment.

Okay, so let's talk about imposter syndrome—my old frenemy. Yep, I've been there, standing backstage wondering, “Who let me have a microphone?” But over time, I've learned that prep is everything. Seriously, preparation is like emotional armor. The more I prepare, the less I panic… usually.And here's the real kicker: those butterflies? They're not your enemies. I've started to see them as tiny, overly enthusiastic fans doing backflips in my stomach. Nervousness just means I care, and honestly, I'd be more worried if I didn't feel anything before going onstage.It's been a journey of learning to accept myself, quirks and all, and figuring out how to channel all that pre-talk anxiety into energy that actually fuels me instead of frying me. Public speaking is still scary sometimes, but now I kinda love that thrill. Like riding a rollercoaster... except you're the one steering it.TakeawaysImposter syndrome is a common experience, even for seasoned professionals.Preparation can help alleviate feelings of anxiety and self-doubt.Emotions, including nervousness, are natural and can be managed.Self-acceptance and grace are crucial in overcoming personal challenges.It's important to recognize that excitement and nervousness can coexist.Having a support system can boost confidence before public speaking.Practicing vulnerability can lead to personal growth and connection with others.Setting up a familiar environment can ease anxiety before performances.Acknowledging past experiences can help build confidence for future endeavors.Taking control of one's emotions is key to effective communication.Keywordsimposter syndrome, vulnerability, preparation, self-acceptance, emotional management, podcasting, personal growth, mental health, confidence, public speaking

A sermon by Rev. Kara Nichols Barrett on John 13:31-35 and Acts 11:1-18 on the fifth Sunday in Easter.

Co-hosts Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin discuss the themes of loss, disappointment, and letting go in their most recent podcast focusing on inner work.

(00:01) Fairway Bunker Shots This chapter explores strategies for effectively getting out of fairway bunkers in golf. We discuss the importance of assessing the firmness of the sand and the technique of planting your back foot firmly to create a stable stance, allowing for a full, powerful swing without slipping. Additionally, we cover selecting the appropriate club based on the bunker lip and distance to the green, ensuring the club can clear the lip while aiming for the back edge of the green for optimal results. The focus is on understanding the conditions and adapting your approach to maintain control and maximize distance from the bunker. (13:03) Mastering Fairway Bunker Shots This chapter focuses on the strategies for successfully hitting golf shots from different types of bunkers, particularly fairway and greenside bunkers. We explore techniques for handling soft and firm sand conditions, emphasizing the importance of stance and club selection. The conversation highlights the differences in approach between fairway bunkers, where the goal is to advance the ball significantly, and greenside bunkers, which often require a softer touch to escape. Additionally, I provide practical advice for tackling the tricky 30 to 40-yard bunker shot by using a pitching wedge or a nine iron, encouraging players to adopt a simpler method for achieving greater distance. Through these insights, we aim to enhance players' bunker play and improve their overall game strategy. (20:52) Improving Bunker Play Techniques This chapter explores effective strategies for improving your golf game, particularly focusing on bunker play. We emphasize the importance of finding the right posture in the bunker, whether standing tall or maintaining a lower stance, to achieve consistency in shots. Practicing regularly to adapt to different sand textures and lie angles is key to mastering these skills. We discuss the "hinge and thump" technique, which is beneficial for getting out of both fairway and greenside bunkers. By applying these methods, you can improve your game and impress onlookers with your skillful bunker shots. We also remind listeners to engage with us via email for any specific golfing questions they may have. (25:18) Efficient Swing Techniques for Tough Lies This chapter explores a golf technique for hitting out of difficult lies, focusing on how to effectively use wrist hinging and positioning the ball in the stance to achieve optimal results. I discuss the concept of swinging the club straight up and down mentally, even though the swing forms an arc, to manage shots from the sand, fairway, and thick rough. By placing the ball forward in the stance, at the bottom of the swing arc, and maintaining a square club face, the technique enables the ball to shoot up high and land softly without the need to open the club face, which minimizes the risk of mishits. This method is contrasted with the traditional approach of putting the ball back in the stance, which can lead to lower, hotter shots. The conversation highlights how this technique is practical for amateurs who do not practice as much as professionals, and it circumvents the complexities of opening the club face and adjusting the stance, offering a simpler yet effective strategy for overcoming challenging lies. (34:42) Strategic Bunker Play Techniques This chapter explores the challenges and strategies associated with playing from fairway bunkers and green-side pot bunkers, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right club to safely clear bunker lips. We discuss how experienced players assess their trajectory and make informed club choices, often opting for a more lofted club to ensure they get out of the bunker on the first try. The conversation highlights the mindset of minimizing risks and making strategic decisions to avoid worsening a difficult situation. The thrill and technique of tackling Scotland's famous pot bunkers are also covered, with a focus on executing successful shots even when the primary goal is simply to escape the bunker. The discussion underscores the mantra of planning the next shot to optimize positioning for subsequent plays, emphasizing patience and strategy over ambitious distance. (41:43) Strategic Fairway Bunker Play Tips This chapter takes a reflective look at the strategic approach to dealing with fairway bunkers in golf. We reminisce about an impressive shot from a fairway bunker that defied the odds, but acknowledge that most players need to be realistic about their capabilities. Emphasizing the importance of understanding one's limitations, we discuss the necessity of selecting the right club to safely navigate out of a bunker and onto the fairway. The goal is to place the ball in a position that makes the next shot more manageable. We also consider the purpose of fairway bunkers, suggesting they serve as a prompt to think critically about shot placement and club selection, encouraging players to aim strategically to avoid landing in them.

Practicing internist and psychiatrist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article, "How America became overmedicated—and what we can do about it." He raises concerns about the high rate of psychotropic medication use in the U.S., citing CDC data suggesting nearly 1 in 4 adults may be taking these drugs, often without clear long-term plans or exit strategies. Muhamad contrasts this with U.K. NICE guidelines that emphasize structured deprescribing protocols, highlighting a significant gap in U.S. clinical guidance. He points to systemic issues like short medication management visits, lack of industry incentives for deprescribing, and the need for better physician training in distinguishing withdrawal symptoms from relapse. Dr. Rifai advocates for a national shift towards wellness, emphasizing medication optimization, integrated behavioral health (including therapy and trauma-informed care), addressing social determinants of health, and fostering recovery-oriented conversations that explore non-pharmacologic approaches like peer support, nutrition, and exercise. Actionable takeaways include the need for robust deprescribing guidelines, investment in holistic and integrated care models, and a conscious effort by clinicians to discuss not just starting medications, but also safely stopping them when appropriate.

Real strength shows up when life knocks you down and you choose to rise with gratitude, faith, and community. Dr. Douglas Burton shares how a life-altering diagnosis transformed not just his health journey, but his entire perspective on what it means to truly live well. From the operating room to the other side of the patient experience, he opens his heart about the emotional weight of caregiving, the spiritual awakening that came through illness, and the small, intentional shifts that have brought him greater peace than ever before. His story is a powerful reminder that joy is not found in doing more—it's found in slowing down, showing up, and surrounding yourself with love. Key Takeaways: Slowing down and creating space for joy can be more healing than constant striving. Practicing daily gratitude builds emotional resilience and a deeper sense of peace. Community support is a critical part of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Faith and surrender can bring clarity and calm when facing uncertainty or illness.

Join the Tribe Listen To Episode 741 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Introduction to Accountability + Boundaries The essence of accountability. Boundaries are essential for self-love and healthy relationships. How much responsibility do we have to hold others accountable? Fear often prevents people from enforcing boundaries; fear is reframed as 'false evidence appearing real.' [03:45] Setting + Practicing Boundaries Boundaries are first set, then practiced; self-regulation and self-accountability are key. Letting go of the fear of 'burning bridges' is crucial when enforcing boundaries. Boundaries should be communicated clearly, especially in family and intimate relationships, where they are often hardest to enforce. Practicing boundaries with strangers or in low-stakes situations helps build skill and courage. [07:20] Learning from Broken Boundaries + Pain Pain from broken boundaries teaches self-love and integration. Rigid boundaries may block love and growth; flexibility and self-trust are needed. Repeated lessons occur until boundaries are internalized and enforced naturally without fear or anger. [09:45] Nonviolent Communication + Boundary Enforcement Boundaries can be enforced without shame or anger, using curiosity and dialogue. Public and private boundary enforcement share the same principles: identify the breach, ask questions, and seek shared outcomes. Role-play example demonstrates the 'rule of three' for boundary communication: verbalize the breach, bring curiosity, and co-create a result. Adding emotional context (how it makes you feel) enhances understanding and connection. [19:35] Emotional Regulation + Honesty Breath and presence are essential for emotional regulation during boundary conversations. Triggers are opportunities for growth; honesty about feelings creates clarity and speed in resolving issues. Slowing down communication and being honest about triggers or fears leads to better outcomes. Honesty is the foundation for clarity, which in turn enables faster resolution and connection. [24:40] Attachment Styles + the Path to Peace Speed in resolving conflict is a universal human desire, but true speed comes from honesty and clarity, not rushing. Attachment styles (anxious and avoidant) influence how people approach boundaries and connection. Sitting in honesty and clarity helps both attachment styles achieve harmony and connection quickly. Awareness is the starting point for all personal growth and boundary work; the series aims to nourish all aspects of self (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial).

Trust in leadership is eroding, with only about one in five employees reporting confidence in their leaders (Gallup, 2023). What's going wrong—and more importantly, what does it take to lead in a way that earns trust?  The answer to this question is simply bringing our authentic selves to our leadership.   Research on authentic leadership shows that effective leaders don't follow a specific checklist of traits or styles. Instead, leadership grows from a much deeper place: our life stories. Drawing from interviews with over 100 leaders and thousands of pages of transcripts, researchers found that great leadership is shaped through real-world challenges, self-reflection, and a willingness to lead from our values.  Discovering Your Authentic Leadership Authentic leaders aren't simply “being themselves”—they're doing the ongoing work of knowing themselves. That includes: -Reflecting on life experiences, including adversity, to understand what drives them -Practicing their values, especially when it's hard or costly -Balancing extrinsic rewards (recognition, promotions) with intrinsic purpose   (meaning, impact) -Building strong support teams that offer perspective, truth, and unconditional encouragement This research challenges the idea that leadership is about image, status, or "executive presence." Instead, proposes effective leadership grounded in honesty, clarity, and the courage to lead with integrity—even when it is uncomfortable or comes at a price. Our life experiences are what can create a platform for strong leadership - everything from working with some not-so-great bosses to how parents, losses, and major setbacks can unexpectedly shape our leadership style. Authentic leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about having the courage to live your questions out loud. Another good read: Why Trust in Leaders Is Faltering and How to Gain It Back.
