In fact, those approaches usually push them further away. Commitment happens when specific emotional conditions are met, conditions rooted in their childhood conditioning, core fears, and unmet needs. In this episode, Thais Gibson explains the real reasons Dismissive Avoidants propose, marry, and invest long-term and why these patterns often surprise people who are dating or loving them. In this video, Thais breaks down the four core drivers behind long-term commitment for Dismissive Avoidants, drawing from attachment theory, conditioning, and years of clinical experience. You'll learn: Why Dismissive Avoidants are often trying to avoid breakups more than commitment itself How pressure triggers autonomy wounds and emotional shutdown How childhood conditioning shapes their beliefs about relationships and marriage Why many Dismissive Avoidants secretly fear they “can't do” relationships The deep shame wound that makes them fear being truly seen The emotional needs that help dismissive avoidants feel safe enough to commit This episode also explains what actually helps move the relationship forward, without suppressing your own needs or walking on eggshells. ✨ Key Takeaways ✔ Dismissive avoidants often fear commitment because they associate closeness with pain ✔ Pressure triggers rebellion, not security ✔ Relationship beliefs are shaped by childhood environments — not objective reality ✔ Many dismissive avoidants fear they are defective or incapable of relationships ✔ Acceptance, direct communication, and emotional stability increase safety ✔ Commitment grows when relationships feel predictable, non-shaming, and emotionally safe ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – What Makes Dismissive Avoidants Commit Long-Term? 00:24 – Dismissive Avoidants Avoid Breakups 02:43 – Dismissive Avoidant Don't Like Being Pressured 03:56 – Our Perception is Conditioned by the Environment We Grew Up in 06:16 – 7-Day Free Trial Promo 07:07 – Dismissive Avoidant Fear They Can't “Do” Relationships 09:09 – Dismissive Avoidant Fear Being “Found Out” as Shameful or Defective 10:05 – Needs of the Dismissive Avoidant 13:01 – Comment and Subscribe Meet the Host Thais Gibson is the founder of The Personal Development School and a world leader in attachment theory.

Our guest for today's episode is one of the most exciting sprinters in the world right now. Julien Alfred is the reigning Olympic champion in the 100m, a World Indoor champion in the 60m, and the athlete who is rewriting history for St. Lucia on the biggest stages in track.On February 1st, 2026, Julien will return to The Armory in New York City to headline the women's 60m at the Millrose Games — the same track where she ran a meet record back in 2024 before going on to win world and Olympic gold.Our conversation with her isn't just about medals or times; it's about what comes after the breakthrough year and how you learn to carry success without letting it crush you.Julien opens up about navigating pressure, expectations, and loneliness at the top and about growing up fast in St. Lucia, leaving home to chase a dream in Jamaica, Texas, and beyond, and learning how to protect her mental health while still pushing her limits.We talk about trust — in her coach Edrick Floreal, in the process, and in herself — and why 2026 feels less about proving something to the world and more about rediscovering joy in the sport she loves.____________Host: Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on InstagramGuest: Julien Alfred | @julien.alfred on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

Support this podcasthttps://www.patreon.com/drumwithmikeandeddyIn episode 205, Eddy and I chat about our experiences with private lessons, both as students and as teachers. We discuss the importance of teaching drums not as a means to showcase what students can'tt do, but rather to identify and address the barriers preventing them from achieving their drumming goals. We throw a tad bit of shade at the rare instance when teachers try to establish dominance by showcasing their skills, and instead advocate for a more empowering approach that focuses on student needs and growth. Basically, don't be a jerk. LOL. We hope you enjoy this episode!Mike & EddySupport the show

Family physician and writer Dr. Mara Gordon interviews psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Reid about her new book Guilt Free (releasing January, 27, 2026). The conversation explores why women experience disproportionate guilt, how to distinguish toxic from adaptive guilt, and practical strategies for managing guilt—especially during the holidays.The Guilt EquationDr. Reid breaks down guilt into a simple formula: Guilt = Expectations - Perceived Reality“Guilt is the difference between our expectations of ourselves, which are created by many things, the difference between that and how well we feel like we're meeting them.”The problem? Women often set impossibly high expectations while minimizing what they're actually accomplishing.Holiday GuiltDecember amplifies guilt because of:* Cultural expectations about creating “perfect” experiences* Pressure to control others' emotions* Comparison (social media, consumer-driven ideals)* Ambivalence about events we “should” enjoy“There's a lot of guilt around the sense of I should be feeling a certain way. I should be making sure others are feeling a certain way around this situation... And these expectations, which as we'll talk about are such a huge part of guilt, can really explode then.” Thanks for reading A Mind of Her Own!

In this episode, we're breaking up with the invisible rulebook that tells us how Christmas “should” look. If you've ever felt pressure to entertain, host perfectly, or keep up with traditions that don't fit your life anymore, this conversation is your permission slip to rewrite your holiday season. We talk about how to create your own meaningful traditions, reduce holiday stress, and make Christmas feel intentional instead of overwhelming. We are going to redefine what tradition actually means to you. How to identify your personal holiday stress triggers. You'll get simple ways to set boundaries without guilt. You'll learn how to get out of obligation based traditions and move into intentional based traditions. You'll focus on creating micro traditions that are easy, fun, and low pressure and you're also going to normalize imperfect, quiet and unconventional holidays. It's time for you to finally end the stress that comes with the holidays.    xoxo,    Jeannet    Work with Jeannet:   Apply for one on one private coaching: https://forms.gle/bwoTL8HCUDPmM1LY8 Get my FREE workbook to help you identify the skills you can monetize with an online business: https://www.jeannetsacks.com/monetizeskills Coaching Business Workshop: This Workshop is designed to take you from newbie to launching your own Online Coaching Business or restructure your current Coaching Program so it starts making you money.

Your team knows what to do.Then the moment comes. Pressure goes up, and everything slows down. Someone hesitates. Guesses. Asks the same question they already asked last week.The real cost is not training. It is the pause. Derek is the CEO of Practical AI and the creator of Pocket Mentor, built to keep people moving when real work gets unclear.  He built Amazon's highest-rated training program. And still watched people freeze when it mattered most.Not because they were lazy. Not because they did not care. Because the moment arrived. And no one wanted to get it wrong.It's true for frontline workers. But also for managers and execs – on a whole other level. Same slowdown. Three different fears.What does it actually take to keep the work moving at every level?Inside the episodeWhere work actually slows. People do not stall because of training. They stall because they need answers in the middle of working.Why one message isn't enough. Frontline workers, managers, and execs slow down for different reasons. When you speak to only one, the work still stalls.The moment the old model breaks. Hours of onboarding videos still leave people stopping, guessing, or feeling judged when they have a question.How to get the right words, to the right people, at the right time. To keep things moving smoothly. This episode is forFounders whose teams slow down at the exact moment results matter.Leaders tired of answering the same question in five different ways.Execs who look fast on paper but feel drag underneath.High performers who want motion without more pressure. Connect with Derek:Website: https://www.practicalai.appBook (Free Chapter): https://www.humanfirstai.netLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amazonleadership/Email: dc@practicalai.app What to do nextShare this with the leader who keeps saying, “Why does this keep slowing down?” Ask them this: “Where does the work pause when it should flow?”Connect with Dr. Yishai on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dryishai/Book your free Ceiling Break Session on his LinkedIn page to get the shift yourself.About the podcastYou were built for speed.But right now you feel slower than you look on paper.Most founders try to outwork that slow-down.

After 25 years the Mercosur deal is reaching crunch time. The trade deal which would permit free trade between the EU and the South American countries that make up the Mercosur bloc has a deadline of December 20th.It allows the EU to export more cars, wines and spirits to South America, with goods including meat coming the other way – and that's what worries Iris, but also French, farmers.There are hopes it will be signed off at this week's two-day EU summit in Brussels; hopes at least on the part of the European Commission and Germany.France and Italy are still holding out on signing up – urging a push-back to January on any decision – while Ireland appears stuck in the middle.Mercosur countries form the world's sixth largest economy with a total population of 270 million people. It's a vast market for EU producers.So how will the Mercosur talks play out this week and what pressure will Ireland be put under to sign up to a deal that Irish farmers say would greatly injure not just them, but the economy as a whole.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

NBA champion Lamar Odom joins the show to reflect on his life story — from growing up in South Jamaica, Queens and becoming a top NBA draft pick, to winning championships with Kobe Bryant on the Lakers, navigating fame, addiction, and the pressures that came with his rise. Lamar opens up about the challenges he faced during the height of his career, his marriage to Khloé Kardashian, the 2015 incident in Nevada that nearly cost him his life, the strokes and medical aftermath he fought through, and how an ibogaine treatment helped him rebuild and reconnect with himself. We discuss childhood trauma, the start of addiction, the intensity of NBA life, loss, recovery, rebuilding relationships, and what he hopes others can take from his journey. This episode highlights Lamar's rise, fall, and comeback — a story of resilience, survival, and growth that continues to inspire people around the world. __________________________________________________________________________ #LamarOdom #NBAStories #LakersNation #KobeBryantEra #AddictionRecovery #RedemptionStory #CelebrityInterview #lockedinpodcast __________________________________________________________________________ Connect with Lamar Odom: https://www.instagram.com/lamarodom/ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop __________________________________________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Lamar Odom on Health, Fame & Surviving Rock Bottom 00:54 Growing Up Without a Father: Childhood, Family & Adversity 03:54 Fatherless Upbringing and the Impact on Identity 05:56 Basketball as an Escape and Early Passion for Sports 08:50 High School Years: Shyness, Loss & NBA Dreams 13:13 College Basketball, Pressure & Early Exposure 17:45 Growing Up in Queens: Friends, Streets & Staying Focused 18:49 NBA Draft Night, LA Clippers & Rookie Year Reality 23:19 Early NBA Money Mistakes & Adjusting to Life in Los Angeles 27:07 Miami to Lakers: Playing Alongside Kobe Bryant 30:01 NBA Championships, Sacrifice & Life Off the Court 32:36 Addiction, Family Tragedy & Coping with Pain 36:16 Marriage to Khloé Kardashian & Reality TV Fame 41:52 The End of the NBA Career & Personal Regrets 44:00 First Use & the Beginning of Addiction 47:00 Rehab, Recovery Attempts & Ibogaine Therapy 50:00 The Vegas Incident, Overdose & Fighting to Survive 56:00 Recovery, Public Scrutiny & Second Chances 01:00:01 Life After Kardashian & Rebuilding After 2015 01:03:43 Lessons Learned, Motivation & Helping Others 01:06:03 Fatherhood, Growth & Lamar Odom's Final Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.

"Good enough" is not a failure. It is a freedom.Welcome to the final day of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we reach the peak of the season, it is easy to fall into the trap of "Compare and Despair." We scroll through social media seeing perfect trees, perfect dinners, and perfect families, and suddenly, our reality feels like it's lacking. We carry the weight of impossible expectations, trying to create a magic moment at the expense of our own mental health.In today's finale, Releasing the Pressure to be Perfect, we are putting those burdens down. We are choosing connection over perfection.In this session, you will experience:4-7-8 Breathing: A deep relaxation technique (often called the "natural tranquilizer" for the nervous system) to help you exhale tension and frustration.The "Heavy Baggage" Visualization: A liberating mental exercise where we identify the heavy bags we are carrying—labeled "Expectations," "Money," and "Perfection"—and physically visualize setting them down and walking away lighter.Affirmations for Acceptance: "I release the need for perfection." "I choose presence over pressure."Thank you for taking this four-day journey with me. Remember: You are enough, exactly as you are.Series Complete.

Mike's out, so naturally Mookie immediately starts messing with the background, and somehow that becomes a recurring issue all night. We kick things off with beer intros before diving headfirst into the Joe Burrow discourse. Is he hinting at retirement, or is he just completely done with Cincinnati? Fans don't seem especially sympathetic, especially when the Bengals once again look like one of the most dysfunctional franchises in the league, capped off by violating NFL policy and forcing fans to shovel snow out of their own seats before getting shut out by Baltimore. Things spiral from there. Patrick Mahomes blows out his knee, the Tom Brady comparisons come fast, and we try to figure out where the Chiefs go from here, including which NFC team Mahomes might randomly win a Super Bowl with a decade from now. With Mahomes, Burrow, and likely Lamar Jackson out of the picture, we ask the uncomfortable question: is this finally Josh Allen's year? Somewhere in the middle of all that, Phillip Rivers comes out of retirement, looks terrible throwing the football, still scores a touchdown, and somehow drags us into a full Hall of Fame debate, complete with conspiracy theories, Colin Kaepernick questions, and a Sip/Chug/Drainpour breakdown of why Rivers actually came back (insurance money, resume padding, or escaping his kids). We also get into the Bills releasing Blizzard Brew, a beer literally made from snow at Highmark Stadium, LaKeith Stanfield being cast as Dennis Rodman in a Vegas disappearance movie, and a minor league hockey team fully committing to chaos with a “Birds Aren't Real” rebrand. There are…a lot of CFB26 clips. Too many, honestly. Chapters: 00:00:00 Introduction | Mookie messes with background since Mike's out 00:04:05 Beer Intros 00:10:01 Is Joe Burrow going to retire?

Send us a textThe distance between us and harm feels like it's vanished. We open with three shocks—a father slain by his son, a campus shooting at Brown, and an antisemitic attack in Austria—and follow the thread that ties them together: when formation collapses, pressure finds a way out. Family should be the last shelter, so language breaks when violence comes from within. We talk plainly about mental illness and addiction as explanations, not erasers, and argue that structure, treatment, and accountability must stand alongside love to keep people safe.The story widens to universities. Brilliance without grounding is acceleration, not wisdom. Campuses have become pressure cookers where young people are taught performance without permission to fail, ambition without emotional literacy, and strength without community. As belonging erodes, meaning erodes, and the results spill into public life. That same vacuum appears in the resurgence of antisemitism. History's warning light flashes when anxious, fragmented societies reach for a scapegoat; it signals that deeper moral bearings are failing.Midway, we pivot to a stark report: a billionaire commissioning more than a hundred U.S.-born children through IVF and surrogacy, selecting for sex and treating citizenship as a bundled feature. This isn't speculative fiction—it's a supply chain for people. Once reproduction is severed from covenant and presence, children slide from gift to product. We lay out the ethics, the economics, and the quiet language tricks that make commodification feel normal, while showing how unchecked wealth thrives in legal gray zones to buy what's illegal at home.Power and truth collide again in politics and the economy. We unpack a failed gerrymander push, the intimidation surrounding it, and why process integrity matters more than any map. Then we test the rosy jobs headlines against revisions that leave the ledger negative, returning to where most economies actually live: kitchens, break rooms, and late-night budgets. False weights and measures break trust; clarity restores it. Our throughline remains steady: care is not weakness, boundaries are not cruelty, and meaning is not optional. If we invest in people before they break, surprises shrink and safety grows.If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review with one concrete change you want leaders to make next week.

Our kids are always learning from us. Our words and our example shape who they will become, a reality established by God as he has created individuals and families. This means that for better or for worse, our kids are watching, and what they see in us and from us will play a powerful role in shaping who they are. The Journal of Health Psychology is hammering this point home. They've found that there's some kind of connection between a mother who is frequently engaged with social media, specifically taking, editing, and posting selfies, and a daughter who is interested in having cosmetic surgery. It's believed that these daughters have adopted a kind of dissatisfaction with their appearance that they inherited from watching their mom's own dissatisfaction. Parents, we live in an appearance obsessed culture. Your obsessions will influence your kid's obsessions. We urge you to find your identity in the rock, Jesus Christ, and not in your appearance.

Success does not eliminate pressure. It often multiplies it.Once you experience a win, the fear shifts from “what if I fail?” to “what if I can't do it again?” In this episode, I unpack why success can feel heavier than failure, how emotional attachment to outcomes distorts clarity, and why many people end up running in place even while working hard.We explore how open loops, unfinished commitments, and mental clutter quietly drain focus, energy, and momentum. I share why learning to detach emotionally from outcomes is not about becoming numb or disconnected, but about creating enough objectivity to take better action. When everything feels personal, every fluctuation feels like failure.You'll learn how to:Detach your identity from results so one miss doesn't spiral into self-doubtClose open loops that create constant mental taxationCut through noise, distractions, and unnecessary commitmentsSay no with intention so yes actually means somethingMeasure progress beyond a single KPI or narrow definition of successBuild systems, structure, and infrastructure that support sustainable growthWe also talk about why sustainability must come before scalability, how discipline fills the gap when motivation fades, and why progress often comes from doing less, more intentionally, instead of chasing everything at once.This episode is a reminder that clarity creates momentum, simplicity creates leverage, and consistent execution is what turns intention into real results.Close the loops.
