If systems alone could fix overwhelm, you wouldn't still feel overwhelmed.By the time most homemakers find this video, they've already tried planners, routines, schedules, and organizing systems. The problem isn't that those systems failed. The problem is that systems were never meant to be the starting point.In this episode, I explain the mindset shift that actually dissolves overwhelm: moving from perfectionism and control to stewardship and faithfulness.You'll learn• why perfectionism looks productive but leads to procrastination and burnout• the difference between control and stewardship in homemaking• why faithful action today matters more than ideal conditions tomorrow• how iteration replaces guilt with growth• why small, incremental steps expand your capacity over timeOverwhelm grows when you measure yourself against an imagined future version of your life. Peace grows when you steward what's right in front of you with humility, faithfulness, and patience.This video introduces iteration—the practice of making small changes, evaluating what's working, and building forward over time. It's the opposite of chasing perfect plans, and it's how real progress is made in real homes.If you want help practicing this mindset, my free Smile & Start Challenge will give you daily encouragement and simple, incremental steps by email.

Most overwhelmed moms keep looking for the perfect planner, the right app, or a better routine. But deep down, you already know that no external system is going to fix overwhelm.The problem isn't your tools. The problem is in your thinking.In this final episode of the series Why Perfectionism Makes Homemaking Feel Overwhelming, we get straight to the real solution: support, community, and mindset change. Perfectionism grows in isolation. It loosens its grip when you stop trying to manage everything alone.In this video, you'll learn• why perfectionism thrives when you're isolated with your thoughts• how community resets unrealistic expectations• why sharing small wins matters more than waiting for big results• how accountability builds follow-through without pressure• three practical ways to practice repent, rejoice, repeatHomemaking is real work. It takes attention, effort, and wisdom. It's not something to be embarrassed about or hidden. It's worth talking about, sharing strategies for, and growing in together.That's why I created Convivial Circle—a community for women who want to practice cheerful, faithful stewardship at home without chasing perfection or pretending the work is effortless.Inside Convivial Circle, we• confront perfectionism together• practice baby-step progress• build routines that fit real families• develop accountability through small standup groups• grow in skill, confidence, and joyful responsibilityIf you're tired of trying to fix overwhelm on your own, this is your invitation to stop isolating and start building momentum with support.

Overwhelm isn't caused by how much you have to do. It's caused by perfectionism.If you constantly feel behind, discouraged, or frozen when you look at your home, this video explains why. The problem isn't your schedule, your kids, or your to-do list. It's the unrealistic standards you're measuring your real life against.In this video, I explain• why a full life is not the same thing as an overwhelming life• how perfectionism creates paralysis, procrastination, and burnout• why planning and organizing often make overwhelm worse• how perfectionism fuels the boom and bust cycle so many moms experienceOnce you can identify perfectionism at work, you can start undoing it.If you want a simple way to begin letting go of perfectionism, I'll send you my free Smile & Start Challenge by email. You'll get three short, practical emails that help you take small steps instead of chasing perfect plans.

Overwhelmed by all there is to do at home? If you feel like you're failing at managing your home, ask yourself this first: what standard are you judging yourself against?For many homemakers, discouragement doesn't come from real life. It comes from comparing their homes to idealized images on Instagram and YouTube. Soft music. White farmhouses. Perfect routines. No interruptions. No mess. No real work.That picture is not the goal—and it was never meant to be.In this video, I explain how perfectionism sabotages your attempts to get organized and why so many systems fail before they even begin. The problem isn't your effort or your desire to be responsible. The problem is trying to live up to a false standard that doesn't match real family life.You'll learn• how perfectionism hides behind “high standards” and good intentions• why planning and organizing often turn into avoidance• how perfectionism creates the boom-and-bust cycle• why baby steps are the only way out of overwhelm• how 10 minutes of real action beats perfect plans every timeReal progress in homemaking comes through steady, incremental improvement—not flawless execution or aesthetic ideals.If you want help getting started, I have a free Smile & Start Challenge that delivers three simple baby steps by email over three days.

Plus, you'll hear about her incredible family retreats that actually let moms vacation WITH their kids without the exhaustion that usually comes with it.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why we wear busyness as a badge of honor and how to break that cycleThe difference between a "busy" day and a "full" day (and why it matters)Practical five-minute rituals to create spaciousness in your overwhelmed lifeHow living abroad shifted Monica's perspective on American mom cultureWhy asking for help doesn't make you lazy or less capableWhat family retreats that welcome children can teach us about slowing downConnect with Monica: www.wanderwildfamilyretreats.comwww.instagram.com/wanderwildfamilyretreatswww.substack.com/@wanderwildfamilyretreats ________________________________

With two decades of helping clients—including many doctors—McCubbin explains how our hunter-gatherer instincts and sentimental attachments fuel a $10 billion storage industry. She addresses Dr. Block's paper-hoarding habits, the outdated textbooks in his office, and the challenge of managing kids' toys, offering insights on separating decluttering, organizing, and cleaning. This episode equips physicians with tools to break free from clutter paralysis and foster independence in their families. Three Actionable Takeaways:Separate decluttering, organizing, and cleaning: Declutter first. Ask: Do I need, like, or use it? Toss sentimental "might-need-it-someday" papers unless reading immediately. Then organize. Where does it live so I can find it fast?. Clean last. Physicians: Ditch printed articles or outdated textbooks, bookmark digitally; info doesn't vanish and evolves quickly.Personalize systems to your brain: Match organization to how you process e.g., chronological vs. categories. For doctors' "paper people" habits, use bookmark folders over prints. At home/office, ensure stuff supports goals: rest, work, family, not blocks them. Habits like "keys in bowl" prevent morning chaos, especially for neurospicy/ADHD brains.Curb kid/family clutter at the source: Rotate toys monthly to spark imagination, fewer toys, more play, per child development. Parents and grandparents: Skip guilt buys; teach cleanup for independence ("Know where army guys are? Grab 'em yourself!"). Couples: If space allows. Prioritize shared goals over perfection. Turn old ones into quilts if needed.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Tracy McCubbin is the CEO and founder of dClutter Fly, one of America's top decluttering companies, where she has helped thousands of clients, including physicians, clear clutter over the past 20 years. She is the author of Making Space Clutter-Free and her latest book, Make Space for Happiness. Recently, she transformed dClutter Fly into a franchise, empowering others to join her mission. Known for her practical and empathetic approach, McCubbin addresses the emotional and psychological barriers to decluttering, offering solutions tailored to busy professionals.Website: https://dclutterfly.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracy_mccubbin/?hl=enYoutube: http://www.youtube.com/@tracy_mccubbin About the host:Dr. Bradley Block – Dr. Bradley Block is a board-certified otolaryngologist at ENT and Allergy Associates in Garden City, NY.

The great ones in business stay with their high-value targets through the storms of criticism, the attacks of vicious critics and the aching bouts of self-doubt. Much like a dog with a bone, these movement-makers have habituated (by training) the traits of resilience, persistence and the superhuman determination to finish what they start. They are masters of entrepreneurship instead of entitlement, really believing that their creativity, productivity, teamwork and contributions to their industry are exponentially more essential to their success than having a fortunate destiny or getting lucky.My latest book “The Wealth Money Can't Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I'm absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

Send us a textAre we living — or simply scrolling through life? In this powerful conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with digital wellbeing expert and endurance athlete Colin Corby to explore how our relationship with technology is quietly reshaping our health, focus, and sense of connection. Colin shares his extraordinary journey from tech-industry burnout to four Ironman triathlons, open-water distance swims, and ultimately building The Digital Detox Coach to help people reclaim time, energy, and clarity.We explore why so many of us wake up and reach for our phones, the subtle ways multitasking drains our cognitive power, how online “noise” crowds out creativity, and why younger generations struggle with real-life communication. Colin introduces the concept of becoming a business athlete — someone who treats recovery, mindset, focus, and boundaries as seriously as physical training.He breaks down signs you may need a digital reset, how habits form, the dangers of constant notifications, and why tech isn't the enemy — our lack of balance is.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or too “plugged in,” this episode offers a grounded, hopeful roadmap to healthier digital living.⭐ Top 3 Highlights

In this Friday Field Notes episode, Ryan Michler delivers a direct and uncompromising message: success never happens by accident. He challenges listeners to confront the ways they may be drifting through life, reacting to circumstances rather than intentionally leading themselves. Ryan explores how comfort, avoidance, and distraction quietly compound into years of lost potential, and contrasts that with the strength and freedom created through discipline, structure, and brotherhood.

Now on Spotify Video! After decades leading AI research at NASA, Google, and Stanford, Peter Norvig has watched artificial intelligence advance at an incredible pace, often without enough consideration for the people it's meant to serve. While the systems grew better at optimizing algorithms, far less focus was placed on fairness, human agency, and real-world impact. That realization led Peter to champion a more human-centered approach to AI. In this final episode of the AI Vault series, Peter breaks down how to design and use AI in ways that elevate human abilities, support better decision-making, and promote fairness across business, education, and leadership.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Jayesh Kumar, Co-Founder at Aonami. Discover how legacy systems are being disrupted, the challenges of digital transformation, and why true innovation means building solutions that give time back to people. Four Key Takeaways: The Problem with Legacy Systems [6:10]Banks and healthcare institutions are bogged down by dozens of outdated, patchwork systems, making innovation slow and compliance difficult. Meeting Clients Where They Are [14:54]True disruption comes from understanding a client’s current state and building solutions that fit their unique needs, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. The Human Side of B2B Sales [20:03]Selling transformative technology to large organizations is about building relationships and convincing multiple teams, not just one decision-maker. The Real Goal of Technology [28:47]The ultimate aim of innovation should be to give people time back, making work more productive, creative, and compassionate. Quote of the Show (34:23):"True disruption really happens not by doing a lot of work, but by doing less in a much smarter way. You should be building systems that start giving time back to people." – Jayesh Kumar Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Listen intently. Many of my billionaire-level clients ask their small circle advisors for their input on a deal and then have the humility to listen to them deeply (almost all of them have a ritual of sleeping on the decision). But then, they trust their experience as well as their instincts and do what they wish to do.

As we move through the holiday season, there's a good chance life feels a little louder than usual — even when it's a “beautiful” kind of loud.There's the hustle. The to-do lists. The coordinating. The cooking. The driving. The expectations. The emotions. The memories. The tender moments… and the complicated ones too.And in the middle of all of it, the older I get, the more I realize something simple and powerful:The quality of our relationships often comes down to our ability to pause. To slow down. To make one conscious choice in the moment — instead of reacting on autopilot.This week on Heal Your Relationships, I'm joined by Dr. Jessie Mahoney — physician coach, yoga and mindfulness teacher, and the creator of Pause and Presence. She is truly an expert in helping people bring more stillness, intention, and steadiness into their homes, workplaces, and day-to-day lives.This conversation is full of practical “pearls” you can use immediately — especially during the holidays, when everything speeds up and our nervous systems run hot.One of my favorite takeaways is how Jessie teaches pausing inside transitions — because transitions already contain a natural pause. Before work. Before you walk in the door at home. Before you respond to a difficult moment.Even one to five minutes can completely change the energy you bring into a room.Timestapm: 00:50 Introducing Dr. Jessie Mahoney + why this conversation matters01:45 Who Jessie is03:06 How “Pause and Presence” was born (and why pausing changes everything)05:24 What happens when life gets hard (and why support matters)07:23 “In the pause is where your peace and control live”12:05 Why slowing down can feel like a “foreign country” (and why it's healing)24:36 A simple tool: pausing in transitions (car pause before work / before home)35:39 Productivity addiction vs. true priorities (presence, connection, joy)So if this season feels full… or tender… or overwhelming… or simply busy — consider this episode an invitation to slow down just enough to return to the people you love with more presence.Resources mentioned in this episode: https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/Oh—and if you have something you're navigating and would love my take on it...

The holidays are here, and while they are meant to be a time of joy and connection, they often bring along digital distraction, fear of overeating, and anxiety about the impending New Year.In this short and sweet episode, Andrés Preschel breaks down the three most important themes for navigating the holiday season intentionally. You'll learn how to optimize your physiology to enjoy family meals without the guilt, how to create a digital barrier to ensure you are truly present with your loved ones, and exactly how to execute a "Past Year Review" to set yourself up for massive success in the year ahead.Discover your science, optimize your life, and enjoy your holidays.In This Episode, You'll Learn:1. The Gift of Presence (Digital Detox Strategies)Why you should delete social media for the last week of the year (less than 2% of your life!).How to use "intervention" tools to break the dopamine loop and stop doom-scrolling.Tools mentioned: The One Sec app and Shift technology.2. Preventing Holiday Weight Gain (Without Dieting)How to enjoy potlucks and home-cooked meals without "dieting" or counting calories.The Pre-Meal Protein Primer: Consuming 20-30g of lean protein (Greek yogurt, whey, lean beef) 30–60 minutes before a meal to suppress Ghrelin and boost GLP-1 (satiety).Fiber & Bitters: Why eating handfuls of dark leafy greens (arugula, spinach) before your meal slows gastric emptying and reduces glucose spikes.Food Sequencing: The correct order to eat your food to manage insulin response (Fiber/Protein first, Carbs last).The Postprandial Stroll: How a 10–15 minute walk after dinner pulls glucose into the muscles without insulin.3. The "Past Year Review" (Strategic Planning)Why New Year's Resolutions often fail and what to do instead.A step-by-step guide to Tim Ferriss's Past Year Review exercise.How to use the 80/20 rule (Pareto's Law) to identify the people and activities that bring you peak joy—and how to schedule them immediately.Creating a "Not-To-Do" list to eliminate the negative triggers from your life.

Original Release Date: November 17, 2025In the first of a two-part episode presenting our 2026 outlooks, Chief Global Cross-Asset Strategist Serena Tang has Chief Global Economist Seth Carpenter explain his thoughts on how economies around the world are expected to perform and how central banks may respond.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Serena Tang: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Serena Tang, Morgan Stanley's Chief Global Cross-Asset Strategist. Seth Carpenter: And I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist. Serena Tang: Today, we'll focus on [the] all-important macroeconomic backdrop. Serena Tang: It's Monday, November 17th at 10am in New York. So, Seth, 2025 has been a year of transition. Global growth slowed under the weight of tariffs and policy uncertainty. Yet resilience in consumer spending and AI driven investments kept recession fears at bay. Your team has published its economic outlook for 2026. So, what's your view on global growth for the year ahead? Seth Carpenter: We really think next year is going to be the global economy slowing down a little bit more just like it did this year, settling into a slower growth rate. But at the same time, we think inflation is going to keep drifting down in most of the world. Now that anodyne view, though, masks some heterogeneity around the world; and importantly, some real uncertainty about different ways things could possibly go. Here in the U.S., we think there is more slowing to come in the near term, especially the fourth quarter of this year and the beginning of next year. But once the economy works its way through the tariffs, maybe some of the lagged effects of monetary policy, we'll start to see things pick up a bit in the second half of the year. China's a different story. We see the really tepid growth there pushed down by the deflationary spiral they've been in. We think that continues for next year, and so they're probably not quite going to get to their 5 percent growth target. And in Europe, there's this push and pull of fiscal policy across the continent. There's a central bank that thinks they've achieved their job in terms of inflation, but overall, we think growth there is, kind of, unremarkable, a little bit over 1 percent. Not bad, but nothing to write home about at all. So that's where we think things are going in general. But I have to say next year, may well be a year for surprises. Serena Tang: Right. So where do you see the biggest drivers of global growth in 2026, and what are some of the key downside risks? Seth Carpenter: That's a great question. I really do think that the U.S. is going to be a real key driver of the story here. And in fact – and maybe we'll talk about this later – if we're wrong, there's some upside scenarios, there's some downside scenarios. But most of them around the world are going to come from the U.S. Two things are going on right now in the U.S. We've had strong spending data. We've also had very, very weak employment data. That usually doesn't last for very long. And so that's why we think in the near term there's some slowdown in the U.S. and then over time things recover. We could be wrong in either direction. And so, if we're wrong and the labor market sending the real signal, then the downside risk to the U.S. economy – and by extension the global economy – really is a recession in the U.S. Now, given the starting point, given how low unemployment is, given the spending businesses are doing for AI, if we did get that recession, it would be mild. On the other hand, like I said, spending is strong. Business spending, especially CapEx for AI; household spending, especially at the top end of the income distribution where wealth is rising from stocks, where the liability side of the balance sheet is insulated with fixed rate mortgages. That spending could just stay strong, and we might see this upside surprise where the spending really dominates the scene. And again, that would spill over for the rest of the world. What I don't see is a lot of reason to suspect that you're going to get a big breakout next year to the upside or the downside from either Europe or China, relative to our baseline scenarios. It could happen, but I really think most of the story is going to be driven in the U.S. Serena Tang: So, Seth, markets have been focused on the Fed, as it should. What is the likely path in 2026 and how are you thinking about central bank policy in general in other regions? Seth Carpenter: Absolutely. The Fed is always of central importance to most people in markets. Our view – and the market's view, I have to say, has been evolving here. Our view is that the Fed's actually got a few more rate cuts to get through, and that by the time we get to the middle of next year, the middle of 2026, they're going to have their policy rate down just a little bit above 3 percent. So roughly where the committee thinks neutral is. Why do we think that? I think the slowing in the labor market that we talked about before, we think there's something kind of durable there. And now that the government shutdown has ended and we're going to start to get regular data prints again, we think the data are going to show that job creation has been below 50,000 per month on average, and maybe even a few of them are going to get to be negative over the next several months. In that situation, we think the Fed's going to get more inclination to guard against further deterioration in the labor market by keeping cutting rates and making sure that the central bank is not putting any restraint on the economy. That's similar, I would say, to a lot of other developed markets' central banks. But the tension for the ECB, for example, is that President Lagarde has said she thinks; she thinks the disinflationary process is over. She thinks sitting at 2 percent for the policy rate, which the ECB thinks of as neutral, then that's the right place for them to be. Our take though is that the data are going to push them in a different direction. We think there is clearly growth in Europe, but we think it's tepid. And as a result, the disinflationary process has really still got some more room to run and that inflation will undershoot their 2 percent target, and as a result, the ECB is probably going to cut again. And in our view, down to about 1.5 percent. Big difference is in Japan. Japan is the developed market central bank that's hiking. Now, when does that happen? Our best guess is next month in December at the policy meeting. We've seen this shift towards reflation. It hasn't been smooth, hasn't been perfectly linear. But the BoJ looks like they're set to raise rates again in December. But the path for inflation is going to be a bit rocky, and so, they're probably on hold for most of 2026. But we do think eventually, maybe not till 2027, they get back to hiking again – so that Governor Ueda can get the policy rate back close to neutral before he steps down. Serena Tang: So, one of the main investor debates is on AI. Whether it's CapEx, productivity, the future of work. How is that factoring into your team's view on growth and inflation for the next year? Seth Carpenter: Yeah, I mean that is absolutely a key question that we get all the time from investors around the world. When I think about AI and how it's affecting the economy, I think about the demand side of the economy, and that's where you think about this CapEx spending – building data centers, buying semiconductors, that sort of thing. That's demand in the economy. It's using up current resources in the economy, and it's got to be somewhat inflationary. It's part of what has kept the U.S. economy buoyant and resilient this year – is that CapEx spending. Now you also mentioned productivity, and for me, that's on the supply side of the economy. That's after the technology is in place. After firms have started to adopt the technology, they're able to produce either the same amount with fewer workers, or they're able to produce more with the same amount of workers. Either way, that's what productivity means, and it's on the supply side. It can mean faster growth and less inflation. I think where we are for 2026, and it's important that we focus it on the near term, is the demand side is much more important than the supply side. So, we think growth continues. It's supported by this business investment spending. But we still think inflation ends 2026, notably above the Fed's inflation target. And it's going to make five, five and a half years that we've been above target. Productivity should kick in. And we've written down something close to a quarter percentage point of extra productivity growth for 2026, but not enough to really be super disinflationary. We think that builds over time, probably takes a couple of years. And for example, if we think about some of the announcements about these data centers that are being built, where they're really going to unleash the potential of AI, those aren't going to be completed for a couple of years anyway. So, I think for now, AI is dominating the demand side of the economy. Over the next few years, it's going to be a real boost to the supply side of the economy. Serena Tang: So that makes a lot of sense to me, Seth. But can you put those into numbers? Seth Carpenter: Sure, Serena totally. In numbers, that's about 3 percent growth. A little bit more than that for global GDP growth on like a Q4-over-Q4 basis. But for the U.S. in particular, we've got about 1.75 percent. So that's not appreciably different from what we're looking for this year in 2025. But the number really, kind of, masks the evolution over time. We think the front part of the year is going to be much weaker. And only once we get into the second half of next year will things start to pick up. That said, compared to where we were when we did the midyear outlook, it's actually a notable upgrade. We've taken real signal from the fact that business spending, household spending have both been stronger than we think. And we've tried to add in just a little bit more in terms of productivity growth from AI. Layer on top of that, the Fed who's been clearly willing to start to ease interest rates sooner than we thought at the time of the mid-year outlook – all comes together for a little bit better outlook for growth for 2026 in the U.S. Serena Tang: Seth thanks so much for taking the time to talk. Seth Carpenter: Serena, it is always my pleasure to get to talk to you. Serena Tang: And thanks for listening. Please be sure to tune into the second half of our conversation tomorrow to hear how we're thinking about investment strategy in the year ahead.

In this episode of Ambition 2.0, Amanda Goetz sits down with psychotherapist and Toxic Productivity author Israa Nasir to unpack why so many high-achieving women feel constantly behind, overwhelmed, and unable to rest—even when they're doing “everything right.” Israa explains how productivity often becomes a coping mechanism for shame, fear, and feeling “not good enough,” and why no system, planner, or habit hack can fix that. Together, they talk about the early warning signs of toxic productivity (including resentment and the phrase “I just need to get through next week”), how unhealed wounds show up at work through perfectionism and feedback sensitivity, and why rest isn't a reward—it's a requirement. They also talk about how convenience culture and “main character energy” are quietly eroding community, why boundaries shouldn't be rigid walls, and what it really takes to build a sustainable, values-aligned relationship with ambition. In this episode, you'll learn: Why productivity is often emotional avoidance, not motivation The earliest signs your productivity has turned toxic How reparenting shows up in your career (feedback, perfectionism, taking up space) The 7 types of rest (and no, scrolling doesn't count) Why convenience is costing us connection and how to build community again 00:00 Intro 04:17 When productivity becomes toxic 09:07 Reparenting at work 15:11 Boundaries 101 18:16 Hyper-optimizing “self-improvement” 26:21 Contentment vs complacency (and the “both/and” mindset) 28:06 The 7 types of rest 31:42 Convenience vs connection 38:28 Rapid-fire questions  GUEST LINKS IG: https://www.instagram.com/well.guide/  Subscribe to Well Guide: https://israanasir.substack.com/  https://www.israanasir.com/  Read Toxic Productivity: https://bookshop.org/a/116169/9781962305358  FOLLOW THE PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/girlboss/ | TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlboss  Amanda Goetz: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/  https://girlboss.com/pages/ambition-2-0-podcast  SIGN UP Subscribe to the Girlboss Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.girlboss.com/  For all other Girlboss links: https://linkin.bio/girlboss/  ABOUT AMBITION 2.0Powered by Girlboss, Ambition 2.0 is a podcast where we'll be exploring what it really means to “have it all” in work, family, identity, and self… and if it's actually worth it.

High achiever burnout often isn't about ambition — it's about safety. In this episode, Julie Holly unpacks why high performers can't stop pushing, and how identity-level recalibration restores belonging without exhaustion.Why do high-capacity humans keep pushing even when they're exhausted, successful, and aware it's costing them?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the deeper truth behind compulsive drive — and why what looks like ambition is often self-protection shaped by early attachment patterns.For many high-capacity humans, pushing didn't start as ambition. It started as adaptation.Productivity became the fastest way to feel safeAchievement became the clearest path to attention or approvalResponsibility became a way to keep things steady for everyone elseExcellence became a form of emotional insuranceRest began to feel risky, indulgent, or vaguely unsafeOver time, the nervous system learned a quiet equation:If I keep producing, I stay connected. If I keep performing, I stay safe.That's why burnout often doesn't feel like collapse. It feels like:“I know I don't need to push this hard, but I can't stop.”Chronic decision fatigue even after successRole confusion once the pressure starts to easeSuccess without fulfillmentA low-grade fear that rest might cost you your placeDrawing from attachment theory, nervous system science, and identity psychology, Julie reframes compulsive striving without diagnosis or shame. This episode names what so many leaders quietly experience but rarely say out loud: the drive was never about ego — it was about belonging.This conversation sits at the emotional center of Week 9, Reclaiming Sacred Ambition, creating the conditions for drive to be reclaimed — not as fear-fueled striving, but as aligned, stewarded desire. Faith-forward but invitational, the episode gently reinforces a deeper truth:Safety and belonging were never meant to be earned.Micro Recalibration (today's practice):Quietly say to yourself:I don't have to earn my place. Notice what happens in your body. No fixing. No forcing. Just awareness.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

What if the real power in your life isn't what you know, but what you know that everyone else knows you know?Money only works because we all believe everyone else believes in it. Governments stand because we assume everyone else will follow the rules. Even love, status, trust, and cancel culture are driven by invisible social agreements that live in our shared mind.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist, cognitive scientist, bestselling author, and one of Time's “100 Most Influential People in the World Today,” to decode the science of common knowledge and how it shapes everything from money and power to social media, revolutions, and your daily relationships.We talk about why some ideas go viral and others don't, why cancel culture and public shaming are so effective, why dictators fear free speech, and how misinformation hijacks our “collective brain.” Steven also shares powerful tools from his books Rationality and When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows to help you think more clearly, protect yourself from cognitive biases, and become a better learner and communicator in a noisy, hyper-connected world.If you've ever wondered why people follow the crowd, why markets boom and crash, why social norms feel so powerful, or how to stay rational when everyone is yelling online, this conversation will help you see the hidden architecture behind human behavior – and use that insight to upgrade your thinking, your learning, and your life./ / / Ready to upgrade your brain? / / /Choose your own adventure.
