Drive Time Debrief – Episode 202 Random Internet Advice, Part 2: Protect Your Peace & Stop Worshiping the Problem In Part Two of our “Random Internet Advice” series, the DTD crew dives into more thought-provoking (and surprisingly wise) wisdom pulled from the endless scroll—this time inspired by @JessKR on TikTok. We unpack powerful ideas like: ✨ Why other people's opinions of you are truly none of your business ✨ How protecting your peace is often more important than proving a point ✨ What boundaries really mean (and why they actually help relationships last) ✨ Letting go of the need for universal approval ✨ Taking responsibility for your own happiness instead of outsourcing it ✨ And the mic-drop truth: Worrying is like worshiping the problem. Through stories from medicine, family life, relationships, and personal growth, we explore how to live from your values, honor your integrity, and stop letting conflict, criticism, or fear steal your emotional energy. From the wisdom of your 8-year-old and 80-year-old selves, to Terry Real's insight on the “losing strategy” of being right, to the freedom that comes from setting loving boundaries—this episode is packed with perspective-shifting takeaways. If you've ever felt drained by trying to manage others' opinions, stuck in endless worry loops, or tempted to sacrifice your peace just to make a point… this conversation is for you. Take a breath, protect your peace, and remember: where your attention goes, your energy flows.
In Day 4 of Anxiety Alchemy Week, the arc is Protect—releasing anxiety by creating a calm inner boundary and returning to your center. In this episode, you'll learn and practice Prithvi Mudra (Earth Mudra), a simple hand position used as a somatic anchor for steadiness and emotional protection. You'll explore how anxiety can intensify when you're overstimulated, overcommitted, or emotionally overexposed—and how a protective inner container helps your nervous system settle. If you've been feeling flooded, reactive, or like you're absorbing everyone and everything, this meditation will help you protect your peace and feel grounded in yourself again. Featured technique: Prithvi Mudra (ring finger + thumb) Best time to practice: before conversations, before phone time, during overwhelm, at day's end Intention: protect your peace, reduce overstimulation, and release anxious urgency This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week," episodes 3451-3457. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to The Anxiety Alchemy Week—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you release anxiety and transform that restless, buzzing energy into calm clarity and steady confidence. Each day, you'll be guided through a simple, body-based practice—breathwork, visualization, and gentle mindfulness—so you can soothe your nervous system, quiet spiraling thoughts, and feel more grounded in real life (not just during meditation). Think of this week as a soft return to yourself: less bracing, less overthinking, and more ease in your body, your choices, and your day. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge" Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Anxiety Reset Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I trust myself to meet this moment." Day 3: Anchor Breathing: inhale 4, exhale 6–8, repeat 8 rounds. (If 6–8 feels too long, do 4 in / 5 out.)

The Working Single Mom's Podcasts--- Coffee Chats and The Revealing Excellence Series
January 10, 2026 | Protect Your Peace, Protect Your PowerThis week's show is a return to basics. With so much noise, chaos, and reaction happening in the world, this episode focuses on what you can control—your peace, your words, and how you show up. We talk about bookending your days, guarding your speech, and remembering that you are the author of your own story. If you've been feeling scattered, reactive, or overwhelmed, this episode is a reminder of where your real power lives and how to reclaim it.
If you've been feeling overstimulated, scattered, or stuck in repetitive thinking, today's protective meditation helps you reset your nervous system and reclaim your focus. Inspired by Dr. Caroline Leaf's work on "your mental mess," this episode teaches a simple, steady practice to protect your attention without pushing your feelings away. You'll use Gyan Mudra (thumb and index finger touching) as a grounding anchor for calm, clarity, and concentration—so thoughts can move through without taking over. Day 4 Arc: PROTECT Technique: Gyan Mudra (hand mudra for clarity + focus) Outcome: calmer emotions, clearer boundaries, protected peace Listen now to reset your emotional state, quiet mental noise, and step back into your day with steadiness and choice. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "7-Day Neuro Reset to Calm Your Nervous System," episodes 3444-3450. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to a brand-new 7-day series on the Daily Meditation Podcast: Neuro Reset—created for that very real moment when the New Year is still here… but your nervous system is already asking for a gentle reboot. Because Week 3 can be a turning point. The excitement of fresh starts fades, your routines get a little wobbly, and your mind starts opening extra tabs: What if I'm behind? What if I can't keep this up? What if I need to start over? If you've felt that, you're not doing anything wrong. It's simply your brain and body recalibrating. This week is designed to help you reset from the inside out—with short, practical meditations that support emotional balance, stress relief, clearer focus, better sleep, and a steadier mood. We'll work with simple tools that calm the nervous system and help you come back to yourself—again and again—without pressure. Each day has an arc and a focus, and today we begin with the arc of Release—releasing mental clutter, tension, and the "I should be doing more" energy… so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more supported moving forward. So settle in. You don't have to force calm. You're simply practicing a reset—one breath at a time. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "The 7-Day Neurocycle Reset Challenge" Every day: 10 minutes (2 minutes breath + 6 minutes guided Neurocycle step + 2 minutes journaling). THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Refresh Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "Clarity and calm begin with each new step." Day 3: Coherent Breathing: Inhale ~5 seconds, exhale ~5 seconds (no holds), for 3–5 minutes. Why: A steady rhythm is one of the simplest ways to "reset the system." Day 4: Gyan Mudra for clarity Day 5: Fourth Chakra for compassion Day 6: Neuro Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure Welcome to this special series: Refresh — a gentle, powerful reset for the start of a brand new year. If you've been craving that clean-slate feeling—not just on your calendar, but inside your mind and in the way you live—this is for you. Because a new year isn't only a date. It's an invitation. To clear what's been cluttering your inner space… to come back to what matters… and to choose how you want to feel as you move forward. Over the next seven episodes, we're going to refresh seven key areas of your life—not with pressure, perfection, or a long list of goals… but with inner clarity. Think of this series like opening the windows of your life and letting fresh air move through every room. Each day, we'll focus on one area—simple, practical, and deeply supportive. You'll be guided through: a short, grounding insight to create perspective a few reflective prompts to clarify what's true for you right now and a calming meditation to help you integrate the shift—so this becomes something you feel, not just something you think about This isn't about fixing yourself. You're not behind. You don't need to become someone else to have a meaningful year. This is about coming home to yourself—and gently updating the way you live, so your days match the person you're becoming. So wherever you are—making coffee, sitting in your car, walking outside, or curled up in a quiet corner—take a breath and let this be your beginning. Welcome to your refresh. Let's start the year with clarity… and create a life that feels clean, aligned, and truly yours. SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

The holidays are supposed to be joyful — but when you're navigating divorce, they can feel emotionally overwhelming, financially stressful, and deeply isolating. In this episode of Divorce Explored on the We Chat Divorce Podcast, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan have an honest, grounding conversation about how to survive the holiday season without falling apart — emotionally or financially. This is not a parenting episode. This is a human episode. Karen and Catherine normalize the reality that joy and grief often coexist during divorce — and explain why boundaries around money, time, energy, and expectations are essential right now. You'll hear practical guidance, real personal stories, and clear permission to do the holidays differently this year. Why it's normal to feel grateful and gutted at the same time How holiday expectations quietly increase financial stress during divorce The most important money boundaries to set before you say yes to anything Why “keeping up appearances” can cost you far more than you realize How to avoid holiday debt that follows you into January Thoughtful gift strategies that don't require overspending Why co-parenting during the holidays is not a competition Time and energy boundaries that protect your nervous system How to say no — without guilt — to events that drain you Navigating the holidays with: Younger children, Adult children, or No children How forgiveness can be a gift to yourself, not a pass for others Why different holidays don't mean bad holidays — just new ones How the financial and emotional choices you make in December show up in January You are not failing because the holidays feel heavy. Boundaries are not selfish — they protect your future and your stability. You don't need to explain or defend your divorce to anyone. January will come, and preparation now creates confidence later. Choose one financial boundary and one emotional boundary to honor this season. Write them down. Keep them visible. That's enough. At My Divorce Solution, we help you replace financial fear with clarity. Our process begins with a Lifestyle Analysis — real numbers, real insight, and a clear understanding of what you can afford before decisions are made.

In this episode of The Life Lived Better Podcast, Joseph and Paula slow things down to talk about something nearly all of us face this time of year: holiday stress. While the season promises joy, connection, and celebration, it often brings pressure, overwhelm, and exhaustion instead. You're not alone—research shows that nearly 9 in 10 Americans feel stressed during the holidays, and for many, emotional well-being takes a hit.Paula and Joseph unpack why the holidays can feel so heavy—family expectations, financial strain, loneliness, grief, overpacked schedules, workplace pressure, and the myth of the “perfect” season. They also explore how mental health conditions, substance use challenges, and seasonal depression can intensify this time of year.But this episode isn't just about naming the stress—it's about easing it. Drawing from expert guidance and real-life experience, your hosts share practical strategies for navigating the season with more intention and compassion. You'll hear helpful tips on setting boundaries, simplifying travel, mindful gift giving, staying grounded with food and alcohol choices, protecting your time, honoring grief, and reaching out for support when you need it.Whether the holidays fill you with excitement, dread, or a complicated mix of both, this conversation is here to help you breathe a little easier. The season doesn't have to drain you—it can still fill you up, one conscious choice at a time.Do you have any questions? If you have a question for Joseph and Paula to answer during a future episode of Questions for Counselors, reach out through the website at www.lifelivedbetter.net or email Info@lifelivedbetter.net Just a reminder - anything shared by the pair during this and all other episodes is based on personal experiences and opinions.

This week, we're talking about something a lot of us experience but rarely admit—when the holiday that's supposed to give us gratitude instead leaves us needing a vacation from our vacation. Between stuffing turkeys, juggling casseroles, and navigating tricky family dynamics, it's easy to lose sight of the spirit of Thanksgiving. So, if you've ever found yourself feeling more exhausted than thankful, this episode is for you. We're unpacking why that happens and what you can DO to actually enjoy the time with your family/friends—WITHOUT burning out.So, Let's Start with This..Thanksgiving should be a time of gratitude and connection, yet for so many of us, it's stressful. The turkey's not done on time, the mashed potatoes are cold, the in-laws are early, and that one relative always finds a way to talk politics.Add the stress of work deadlines before the holiday—and the mental load that women often carry when it comes to holiday planning—and you've got a recipe for burnout. So, if you've ever ended the weekend thinking, “I need a vacation from my vacation,” you're not alone. But here's the good news: there are ways to reclaim the joy of Thanksgiving and walk away from it refreshed, not frazzled.1️⃣ Give Yourself Permission to SimplifyEverything doesn't have to be homemade. Choose one or two dishes that matter most to you, and delegate or buy the rest. Focus on connection over perfection.2️⃣ Protect Your Peace—and Your BoundariesYou can't pour from an empty cup. Schedule breaks for yourself, even if it's just ten quiet minutes on the porch with coffee. If a certain family topic always causes tension, give yourself permission to steer the conversation elsewhere—or quietly step away.3️⃣ Practice Gratitude in Real TimeBefore everyone leaves the table, take a moment to go around and have each person share one thing they're thankful for. It's a simple exercise that recent studies show can boost mood and lower cortisol levels in less than a week. Gratitude changes the tone of the room—and the tone of your heart.That's it for today, ShopTalkers! Let this be the Thanksgiving you actually enjoy—the one where you sit back, laugh a little louder, and remember what the holiday is really about.NEW HERE?

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Alright… this one right here? This is your soul-level grounding session for anytime you're stepping back into old environments — the ones that knew a past version of you and still expect her to show up; also AKA your pre-Thanksgiving survival guide for the soul. Because listen — nothing tests your healing like walking back into environments that only know the “old you.” The people-pleaser you. The never-sets-boundaries you. The “sure, I can do it” version you've worked so hard to retire.In this episode, we're talking identity integrity, holiday boundaries, emotional maturity, and stepping into rooms as the healed woman you've become — not the version they're more comfortable with. If you've ever felt yourself shrinking around family, old friend circles, or familiar environments… sis, this is your sign to reclaim your power, hold your energy, and walk in thankful and protected.We'll dive into how to stay grounded, how to lovingly enforce boundaries, and how to show up as your present self without slipping back into outdated roles. Expect spiritual grounding, real talk, gentle conviction, and the kind of coaching that keeps you aligned, unbothered, and in full Main Character Energy.KEY TAKEAWAYS:#1 — You're Allowed to Evolve: Just because they remember who you were doesn't mean you owe them that version now.#2 — Familiarity Doesn't Equal Access: Family knowing the old you does not give them authority over the healed you.#3 — Protect Your Peace, Not Their Comfort: Boundaries aren't rude — they're respect for your growth and your nervous system.#4 — Choose Responses, Not Reactions: Slow down, breathe, and let your healed self answer… not the version trained to perform.#5 — Your Identity Is Sacred: This year, your Main Character Energy walks in first — grounded, grateful, and gloriously unbothered.THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP — THE IDENTITY INTEGRITY EDITION:Friend… this is your anchor. Your warm-up. Your spiritual pre-game before stepping into any environment where old energy tries to pull on you. Use this 2-Step anytime you feel yourself wobbling — holidays, reunions, old friend hangouts, all of it.✨ Step 1: Name the Version They Expect — and Release HerBefore you walk into that house, pause and ask: “Who do they think I still am?” The fixer? The peacekeeper? The quiet one? The emotional sponge? Name it so you can release it. Call it out so it can't call you back.

Hi Mamas, Today we're diving into one of the heaviest things working moms carry… unforgiven hurt. Not the kind that comes after an apology. Nope. We're talking about the kind that sits quietly in your chest, weighs down… especially around the holidays, and follows you into your mornings like an overstuffed emotional diaper bag. This episode walks you through the real work of forgiving people who never said “I'm sorry,” forgiving the friendships that broke your heart, forgiving family who didn't show up, forgiving yourself for what you didn't know then… and even forgiving the pieces of life that didn't go as planned. Together we'll talk about: ✨ How to forgive without closure ✨ Why forgiveness is something you do for you, not them ✨ Releasing resentment you've carried for years ✨ How to forgive someone who has passed away ✨ Healing friendship wounds ✨ Letting go of expectations and disappointments ✨ The hardest one of all—self-forgiveness ✨ A simple but powerful “Bless & Release” ritual to help you feel lighter today If you're ready to walk into the holidays with more peace, more presence, and a lot less emotional heaviness… this episode is your invitation. ✨

MAXOUT Your Mind Masterclass: Protect Your Peace Have you ever noticed how quickly your peace can disappear the moment someone cuts you off in traffic or a negative comment shows up online? In this episode of the MAXOUT Your Mind Masterclass, I'm taking you deep into one of the most important lessons I've ever learned: how to protect your peace and preserve your bliss no matter what's happening around you. Because the truth is, the quality of your life is the quality of your emotions. If you're constantly surrendering your peace to external circumstances or difficult people, you're never really in control of your life. I share personal stories that made me stop and ask myself, Who's really winning the game of life? The one with the mansion or the one with peace? I talk about the time I stayed calm in traffic when someone tried to provoke me, and another moment that challenged me to respond with grace instead of judgment. These experiences taught me that emotional mastery isn't about avoiding chaos, it's about remaining steady in it. Real strength is when your external world doesn't get to dictate your internal state. In this Masterclass, I walk you through how to identify the people, thoughts, and habits that are stealing your bliss and how to reclaim it. I'll show you the exact exercise I used to create two lists: one for what feeds my peace and another for what drains it. From there, I share the surprising things that elevate my state of bliss like being outdoors, moving my body, listening to worship music, and cutting 85% of the noise from my social media and news intake. These small shifts can change everything about how you experience your life. The goal isn't to live in a bubble where nothing challenges you. Life will always bring problems, stress, and uncertainty. But when you learn to stay grounded in grace and gratitude through it all, you step into a level of peace that can't be shaken. You become the thermostat, not the thermometer. And that's when you start to truly MAXOUT your mind, your relationships, and your joy. Key Takeaways: How to protect your peace and preserve your bliss in a chaotic world Why emotional mastery is the foundation of success and fulfillment How to identify what (and who) steals your peace and reduce their power by 85% The surprising habits that feed your inner joy and raise your emotional thermostat Why serving others and extending grace is the fastest path to restoring peace Your peace is sacred. Protect it. Preserve it. Live in it. Max out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Send us a textStuck in a month where nothing clicks and every push feels like quicksand? We unpack a better way with Dr. Brad Stewart, who built a mobile audiology practice, scaled a high-volume vestibular clinic, and then made the hardest call of all: shut it down to protect his health, marriage, and mission. The story isn't about chasing hustle—it's about aligning vision, building systems, and choosing patient-first care even when the market shifts under your feet.We dig into practical pivots that actually work. Brad shares how leadership mindsets from John Maxwell and frameworks like The E-Myth helped him create processes that scale, hire with clarity, and reduce owner dependency. When OTC hearing aids and market turbulence hit, he expanded services thoughtfully, then recognized when the physical therapy model didn't fit. The result was a lean, “autopilot” hearing practice with strong systems and a team trained to deliver consistent outcomes without burning the owner out.You'll hear a step-by-step approach to reclaiming control: the dream practice exercise to define income, role, team, and service mix; reverse-engineering the metrics that matter; and the courage to trade optics for sustainability. We also spotlight mobile audiology for senior living communities—an underserved path that builds grassroots demand, strengthens referrals, and differentiates against big-box retail. If you're a private practice owner feeling the squeeze, this conversation offers clarity, tactics, and a reminder that flow beats force when vision leads.Want support building a mobile vertical or tightening your systems?

It does not build self-worth. It brings down your worth." - Lewis HowesLewis opens up about spending decades trapped in a cycle of saying yes to everything - not because he wanted to, but because he feared what people would think if he didn't. The constant people-pleasing wasn't creating connection; it was creating an internal war that drained his energy and destroyed his self-worth. He breaks down the harsh truth: when you're doing things solely for validation or to be liked, you're not protecting your peace - you're giving it away. This isn't about obligations or genuine commitments you've made; it's about those draining requests from people who only want to take, the favors that leave you feeling empty, the yeses you give just to stay in someone's good graces. Lewis challenges the belief that courage means suffering alone, revealing instead that real courage is about having the strength to ask for support and set boundaries without guilt.Lewis delivers a practical framework for reclaiming your energy and building genuine self-worth. He walks through the questions you need to ask yourself before saying yes: Am I doing this for me or for validation? Am I giving because I want to, or because I need to be liked? He introduces a simple but powerful practice - saying no to just one small thing today, even if it feels terrifying. The insight that "rejection of an opportunity is not a rejection of you" reframes how we think about boundaries entirely. Lewis reminds us that courage isn't the absence of fear - it's resistance to fear, mastery of fear. When you stop letting fear of rejection control your decisions, you finally create space for the peace and self-worth you've been searching for.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
