Success doesn't always make things easier. Sometimes it asks you to become someone new. In this episode, I chat with Olivia Landau, founder of The Clear Cut, to talk about the moments behind the success that most people never see: the doubt, the pressure, and the decisions that shape who you become as a founder.  Olivia grew up around diamonds, studied gemology, and began The Clear Cut as an educational blog and creative outlet before turning it into a bespoke jewelry company built on trust, expertise, and community. She never planned to become an entrepreneur. In fact, her own mother once told her she'd make a great employee but could never be a businessperson. Then a creative side project became The Clear Cut. We talk about the risks she took to build something different, the challenge of staying the course when the outcome wasn't guaranteed, and what it feels like when the company you built enters a new chapter. Olivia opens up about navigating an acquisition, redefining her role after years of having complete control, and why leaving the business behind may have been even harder. Because building a company isn't just about creating something successful. It's about discovering the person you have to become along the way.

Daily Boost Podcast Caught in a Bad Situation September 2, 2026 | Episode 5533 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Life gets in the way. You plan well, do the work on yourself, and then something lands in your lap that doesn't feel right. A few months ago I got tangled up in a mess I didn't create. Everybody worked hard to convince me I was wrong. I wasn't experienced enough. I didn't know the whole story. I stayed calm and made every choice on purpose. Four and a half months later, I found out I was right. Then I quit, and it became a win for everybody. Something is sitting on your back today. Let's get it off. Featured Story Last week I sat down with one of the principals in this whole thing. Four and a half months of being told I was too green to understand, that I was missing pieces of the story. He finally lifted his head and asked me what had happened. So I told him. Calm. No finger-pointing. Just here's what you don't know. You could watch it land. Then my phone started ringing with other leaders asking the same thing. So what really happened? Was it this? They had a fire on their hands. What they hadn't worked out yet was that they were the arsonists. Important Points * When something feels off, and everyone around you insists it isn't, your gut is still data. Don't hand it over. * You can stay in a bad situation on purpose, but only if you have a plan and make every move intentionally. * Quitting isn't failing. It's what you do when the deal changes and staying costs you more than leaving ever will. Memorable Quotes * I found out that I was right, but it never feels right when you know you're right. It doesn't. It never does. * They started the fires, and now they're running around trying to put them out. And I was caught in the middle of it. * I'm really loyal, and I believe in people, so I'll hang in there to the end. But eventually I'm going to get out. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Name the thing that's sitting on your back and say out loud what your gut has been telling you about it for months. * Stay calm and make every next move on purpose, giving the situation one honest chance to change before you go. * If nothing changes, walk out clean, keep the relationships whole, and decide right then you're never going back.

Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood - www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   Porn doesn't just impact your brain, your sex drive, or your ability to control an urge.   It changes the way you relate to almost everything that matters in your life.   Yourself. Your wife. Your kids. Other men. Women. Sex. Hard things. Your purpose. God. And ultimately, life itself.   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich explores one of the most overlooked consequences of porn addiction: disconnection.   Porn creates a counterfeit version of intimacy—connection without vulnerability, rejection, sacrifice, patience, or commitment. And over time, that false connection can quietly weaken your capacity to experience the real thing.   But the opposite is also true.   When you remove porn and begin rebuilding your life, your relationships can begin changing in ways that go far beyond simply becoming "porn-free."   Frank breaks down 10 relationships that can transform on the other side of porn addiction and why lasting recovery isn't just about sobriety—it's about learning how to connect again.     In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why porn can create the illusion of connection while producing deeper isolation   How years of broken promises around porn can destroy your self-trust, confidence, and integrity   Why quitting porn can change the way you see, love, and connect with your wife   The difference between consuming sexuality and experiencing real sex and intimacy   How porn can rob your children of your presence, even when you're physically there   Why genuine brotherhood and accountability are so powerful in porn addiction recovery   How using porn as an escape can change your relationship with stress, discomfort, and doing hard things   Why quitting porn isn't enough if you're still constantly sexualizing women, chasing thirst traps, and feeding fantasy   How freedom can redirect your attention toward work, mission, purpose, and building a meaningful life   How shame surrounding porn can affect your relationship with God   Why becoming porn-free isn't the ultimate goal—becoming a Rebuilt Man is     Johann Hari famously said: "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. It is human connection."   That's the central idea behind this conversation.   Because the goal isn't simply to remove porn and leave an empty space behind.   It's to replace counterfeit connection with something real.   To trust yourself again.   To become present with your wife and children.   To build meaningful relationships with other men.   To experience intimacy rather than consume sexuality.   To face difficult things instead of escaping them.   To pursue your purpose.   To walk more closely with God.   And ultimately, to build a life you no longer constantly need to escape from.   Porn promised connection and gave you isolation. Freedom gives you the opportunity to reconnect with what actually matters.     Ready To Stop Fighting This Alone? If you've tried quitting porn over and over again but keep finding yourself back in the same cycle, maybe another strategy isn't the only thing you need.   Maybe you need connection, coaching, accountability, and brotherhood.   Inside The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood, you'll join other men committed to breaking free from porn and rebuilding their integrity, identity, marriage, faith, discipline, and leadership.   Come experience the Brotherhood free for 7 days, join the coaching calls, meet the men, and start doing the work alongside people who understand the battle.   Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood and start your free 7-day trial today. -  www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   Get your copy of Porn Free Man If this episode resonated with you, Porn Free Man is the next step.   Inside the book, Coach Frank Rich walks you through the exact identity-based framework that's helped more than 1,800 men break free from porn and rebuild every area of their lives.   Learn how to stop managing addiction and start becoming the man who no longer wants, needs, or desires porn.  

Sasha Sweets grew up in California as a natural hustler — selling candy before moving to drugs, working at a strip club, and always chasing the finer things in life while her father was in prison for part of her childhood — before getting into a scamming operation with the father of her child in her early twenties that produced a federal indictment, 3.5 years in federal prison across California, Kentucky, and Arizona, and over $2 million in restitution. _____________________________________________  #crimenews #prisonstory #truecrimestories #scam _____________________________________________  Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Quitting your job should not be based on emotion.It should be based on numbers.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how to calculate the minimum financial benchmark you need before leaving your 9-to-5 and committing more time to your business.Freedom is not a vague goal.It has a monthly cost.Once you understand your essential expenses, your business overhead, and the cash reserve you need, the decision becomes far less intimidating.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why you may not need to replace your entire corporate salary before leaving• How to calculate your minimum viable monthly lifestyle cost• Why building an emergency reserve can reduce the risk of your transition• How clear financial benchmarks can remove emotion from your exit decisionThe truth is simple:Stop guessing.Know your monthly burn rate.Cut unnecessary expenses.Build the reserve.Set a clear financial trigger for your transition.When you understand exactly what your freedom costs, fear gets replaced by a plan.Run the numbers.Hit the benchmark.Execute the exit.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a new law that prohibits future governors and senior state officials from using nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) when negotiating state laws or deciding how taxpayer money is spent. The measure is intended to increase transparency in state government and close loopholes that allowed key policy discussions to occur behind closed doors. Bulle, the upscale farm-to-table restaurant at Herndon and Marks that opened in spring 2026 with ambitions of becoming Fresno's premier fine-dining destination, is facing staffing turnover and wage-related disputes just five months after opening.

Virgina Prodan grew up in Communist Romania, watching her parents whisper behind closed doors about a government that took a little more from them every year. She decided as a kid she was going to become a lawyer and find the truth.She did. Top ten percent of her class, using a forgotten law book she found in a library to get Christian prisoners out of jail. Then the dictator took notice. He sent a man to her office with a gun, told her she wouldn't listen, and said he was there to end that.She shared the gospel with him instead. He put the gun down and walked out. Years later, Reagan helped get her family out of Romania. She landed in America with two daughters, one more on the way, and no English, and rebuilt her life from nothing.What we covered: → Growing up under a dictator who declared himself God → Finding a forgotten law book that got prisoners out of jail → The man sent to kill her, and what happened when he pulled the gun → Reagan, the State Department, and a case that reached the United Nations → Starting over in America with three kids and no EnglishYou don't need everything figured out to obey.

Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood - www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   You've probably heard about the 90-day reboot.   Quit porn for 90 days, reset your brain, restore your dopamine, eliminate the cravings, and you're healed... right?   Not exactly.   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich breaks down what actually happens after you quit porn, what the science says about brain recovery and neuroplasticity, and why 90 days isn't a magic neurological reset point.   Frank explains one of the most important distinctions men need to understand:   Quitting porn and healing from porn are not the same thing.   You can quit porn today. Quitting happens when you make the decision to cut off the behavior.   But healing the patterns your brain may have spent years—or decades—learning is a deeper process.   Stress → porn. Loneliness → porn. Rejection → porn. Boredom → porn. Sexual triggers → porn.   Over time, these cues can become connected to anticipation, craving, and habitual behavior. Simply removing porn doesn't instantly erase those learned associations.   That's why real recovery has to go beyond counting days.   In this episode, Frank breaks down the difference between abstinence, recovery, and transformation—and explains why the ultimate goal isn't becoming a man who's really good at not watching porn.   It's becoming the man who no longer needs porn.     In This Episode, You'll Learn: How long it actually takes your brain to recover after quitting porn   Whether the popular 90-day reboot is scientifically supported   Why quitting porn can happen in a day while healing takes longer   How porn-related cues, cravings, and learned associations can develop   Why triggers can remain even after you've stopped watching porn   How neuroplasticity allows the brain to learn new behavioral patterns   Why two men can have completely different recovery timelines   The problem with obsessing over streaks and counting days   Why quitting porn but replacing it with thirst traps, fantasy, or sexualized content isn't true recovery   The difference between abstinence, healing, and transformation   Better ways to measure your progress than simply counting porn-free days   Why what you do during your recovery matters as much as how much time passes   How Frank's ESCAPE → REWIRE → REBUILD → RESTORE → LEAD framework approaches lasting freedom   What it actually means to become a man who no longer needs porn     Ready To Stop Counting Days And Start Rebuilding Your Life?   Join Coach Frank Rich and a brotherhood of men committed to breaking free from porn, rebuilding their identity, strengthening their faith, and becoming the husbands, fathers, and leaders they were created to be inside The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood.   Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood - www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   Get your copy of Porn Free Man If this episode resonated with you, Porn Free Man is the next step.   Inside the book, Coach Frank Rich walks you through the exact identity-based framework that's helped more than 1,800 men break free from porn and rebuild every area of their lives.   Learn how to stop managing addiction and start becoming the man who no longer wants, needs, or desires porn.  

Germania Rodriguez was 11 years old when her family fled Venezuela . Her mother, one of the regime's most aggressive journalist critics, had just been falsely accused by Hugo Chávez's government. Two decades later, sitting in NYU lecture halls, Germania became a Bernie Sanders supporter anyway. In this episode, Germania joins The Curious Middle to explain how someone who watched socialism destroy her home country still fell for it in an Ivy League classroom — and what finally broke the spell.   We get into why the New York Times and Hollywood have a decades-long blind spot for left-wing dictatorships, the actual difference between Norway's social democracy and Venezuela's socialism, why "free stuff" isn't the same thing as the government seizing the means of production, and how Cuba spent 70 years exporting revolution across Latin America. Venezuela went from a top-5 global economy in the 1960s to nearly 9 million refugees and 70%+ of households in poverty in under 30 years. Germania breaks down how that happened, and why the same playbook is showing up in New York City politics right now.   Timestamps:  0:36 – Fleeing Venezuela at 11: her mother's persecution by the Chávez regime 2:00 – Quitting the Daily Mail after refusing to stay silent about the NYT calling Delcy Rodríguez a "moderate" 3:09 – Media bias: is it ideology, or access  5:17 – The NYT's long history of covering for communism 6:29 – Hollywood's blind spot: Danny Glover, Chávez, and a Peabody-winning documentary 8:34 – The cost of being a radical centrist: everyone hates you 9:36 – Confession: Germania was a "Bernie Bro" at NYU 11:04 – What made her fall for it 14:10 – NYU campus culture in 2016, and Bernie's Castro comments 15:47 – How moral superiority becomes an excuse for authoritarianism 16:12 – Is anyone actually moving toward the center? 17:06 – The John Leguizamo clip: confusing social programs with socialism  18:34 – What "socialism" actually means, according to the DSA's own website 20:11 – Venezuela's refugee crisis: nearly 9 million fled 20:39 – 71–73% of Venezuelan households now live in poverty 21:12 – How Venezuela went from a top-5 global economy to collapse 25:25 – Less than 30 years to destroy a country 25:43 – The same playbook, today, in Zohran Mamdani's New York City 26:39 – Where's the actual red line between healthy social programs and socialism? 27:58 – Bodega owners vs. taxpayer-funded competition 28:34 – What government should do — and where it should stop 30:57 – Gun control and Chávez's disarmament of Venezuelans 2:04 – NYC rent control and the housing supply death spiral 33:22 – "If I were a billionaire, I'd fund a sexy pro-capitalism Netflix show" 34:12 – Norway vs. Venezuela: what makes one work and the other collapse 36:05 – Why progressive support for Chavismo is its own kind of racism 37:53 – Cuba's 70-year role exporting revolution across Latin Americaa 39:49 – Did the US actually win the Cold War?  40:44 – "Democracy privilege," and forgetting what's at stake

Real results and steady compliments once led to doing less instead of more, without any real decision behind it.   Feeling cured after seeing progress is a common and warped kind of thinking, even when it feels reasonable in the moment.   Easing off after a win rarely feels like quitting, it shows up disguised as finally relaxing.   Good results are proof a plan is working, not a signal that the plan is finished.   Catching that pattern early can keep a good result from becoming the reason things fall apart.

One woman spent seven years in a role that everyone told her she should be grateful for while she was slowly falling apart inside it. Another quit fast, convinced that leaving the job would fix everything, and then spent the next two years finding out why it didn't. Neither outcome was what either of them expected.

What happens after you finally admit the grind stopped working? That is where part two of this conversation with journalist Lindsay Crouse picks up.Lindsay and JP dig into the physical cost of never backing off, talk through Simone Biles' 2021 Olympic decision, and unpack the "never enough" trap that keeps high achievers chasing a finish line that keeps moving. Lindsay also shares why she left a stable job for an uncertain one at The New York Times, and why she believes quitting is a muscle you build through practice, not a moment you arrive at with total certainty.If part one left you rethinking what perseverance actually costs, this episode gives you a way to start putting it into practice.Chapters(00:00) The Michael Phelps Burnout Pattern(01:22) Jesse Diggins and Knowing the Limit(02:48) Rest Was the Same as Decline(03:40) Getting Athletes to Trust the Data(04:51) The Batman Scar: Icing an Injury(09:08) Simone Biles and the Real Spotlight(13:29) The Never-Enough Trap(17:00) Wants vs Needs(19:30) Why She Left a Stable Job at the Times(23:00) Building the Muscle to QuitTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."Our culture teaches us that quitting is a failure, that we didn't try hard enough.

Truck driver turnover can exceed 90% at major fleets....and trucking still keeps asking what's wrong with the DRIVER. Maybe we're asking the wrong damn question. What if trucking's driver retention problem isn't really a recruiting problem? What if it's a LEADERSHIP problem? On this episode of Brake Check, Charles sits down with fleet owner Pam Polyak and Dr. Vernard "Doctor V" Jenkins, VP of Operations at Knight-Swift Warehousing & Fulfillment, to put trucking leadership under the microscope. We're digging into why truck drivers quit, what happens during the critical first 90 days, driver-manager relationships, fleet culture, onboarding, frontline leadership, driver retention, detention, employee engagement and why constantly recruiting replacement drivers may be treating the symptom instead of fixing the disease. Why do good drivers leave? Is pay really the reason? When does a new driver actually decide they're done? How much does a bad dispatcher or manager cost a trucking company What should fleets change during the first 90 days? And if your company keeps losing drivers... AT WHAT POINT DO YOU STOP INTERVIEWING THE DRIVER AND START INTERVIEWING THE BOSS? If you're a truck driver, owner-operator, fleet owner, trucking executive, dispatcher, driver manager, recruiter, safety professional or transportation leader, this conversation is for you. Because you can buy newer trucks. Raise recruiting budgets. Add bonuses. Build better onboarding technology. But if people keep walking out the door... MAYBE IT'S YOU. #Trucking #TruckDrivers #DriverRetention #TruckingIndustry #FleetManagement #TruckDriver #Transportation #Leadership ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

If you want to stop over-drinking but you keep abandoning every journal, tracker, urge that hits, and morning routine you start, this episode is for you. Quitting drinking gets a lot easier when the work stops feeling like a punishment.For twenty years, I gave alcohol the good glass, the beautiful thoughts, the longing feelings, the candle, the music, and the best hour of my day.Then I started doing the work to stop over-drinking and I handed that an exhausted self at the end of the day, no patience left and no kind words.And then I wondered why I kept going back to the wine. Obviously, I changed that and learned how to be with myself and accept what was happening inside of me and made that ritual something I wanted to connect with.The problem for most of you is that you've started a practice you don't want to return to.We come back to places that have been tended. That's true of a kitchen, and it's true of the ten minutes you spend with yourself every morning. So in this episode I'm walking you through how to make the work of quitting drinking beautiful enough that you actually want to come back to it tomorrow. Almost none of it costs money. What we cover: Why you keep quitting your own practice The outside stuff — the notebook, the chair, the hour — and why that's only a small part Slowing your breath down before you start, because you cannot arrive somewhere beautiful at a sprint Greeting yourself when you sit down: thanks for connecting with me today Why "thank you" builds something that "good job" never will The tone you take with yourself on the page, and why nobody returns to a place where they get yelled at How you end a session, and why that decides whether you come back What I learned about tending yourself walking 173 miles on the Camino de Santiago What to do when the emotion you're processing is genuinely hard and there's nothing pretty about it This one is for the woman who looks completely fine on the outside, the career, the family, the house, and is quietly exhausted from the cycle of over-drinking and breaking promises to herself. Especially if you're in a season of change: retirement, an empty nest, a career shift, newly single, caring for aging parents. You already know how to make something beautiful enough to return to every single day. You did it with wine for twenty years. We're taking that back and pointing it at you.ABOUT ANGELA:I'm Angela Mascenik, a certified life coach who helps women stop over-drinking and start living.I over-drank for twenty years while raising three kids, building a career, and keeping a good marriage and a nice home — functional on the outside, struggling on the inside. Life coaching changed everything for me, and I've been alcohol-free for eight years. Now I do this work with women all over the world.My approach is compassionate and completely shame-free. We get to the root of why you're drinking in the first place, and we work on boundaries, emotions, mind management, and learning to put yourself at the top of your own priority list. A big part of what I teach is learning to feel and process your emotions instead of reacting to them — getting out of your head and into your body.

We'd love to hear from you. Send us fan mail!About This EpisodeMost leaders assume their team's friction is a personality clash. Executive and business coach Debbie Longo says it's almost always behavior, and the leadership blind spot she runs into most is control and manipulation. In this episode, Debbie walks through how a single thought becomes a behavior, why some leaders need to hit a “bottom” before they'll change, and why real, lasting change starts with seeing the pattern in yourself before anyone else has to point it out.  Bernadette and Debbie also get into the tension every HR leader and manager feels: real behavior change can happen fast, but it doesn't happen on command,  and pushing for speed without patience is often what derails it.What You Will Learn•       Rebuild trust with your team by recognizing the one behavior pattern most executives never catch in themselves•       Stop the control-and-manipulation cycle before it tanks sales and drives out your best people•       Use a 2-minute nightly inventory to catch blind spots before they cost you your job•       Turn pressure from your board or boss into a fast, focused action plan instead of denial•       Understand why real behavior change can show up in weeks, and what determines the pace•       Protect your influence and credibility by leading from awareness instead of ego•       Give HR and managers a clear, patient way to talk about the pace of real changeKey Quote“I changed my thinking, and everyone around me changed.” — Debbie LongoEpisode Chapters00:01 – Why behavior, not personality, drives leadership effectiveness00:04 – The mindset-shift example: catching a bad outcome before it happens00:07 – What hitting bottom actually looks like (divorce, job loss, losing a house)00:08 – Why HR and managers underestimate how long real change takes00:10 – The message to HR leaders and hiring managers: patience over pace00:14 – How control and manipulation actually develops 00:16 – Why controlling leaders can't see it in themselves00:20 – "I change myself... everybody around me changes" — the ripple effect00:20 – Where accountability fits in (board/boss pressure forcing change)00:22 – How Debbie tells a client they're not actually changing00:24 – The #1 tip: the nightly self-inventory exercise00:26 – Wrap-up and where to find DebbieAbout the GuestDebbie Longo is an Executive Behavioral Coach, speaker, and podcast host with more than 24 years of experience helping leaders improve communication, accountability, and performance by changing behaviors that drive results.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Taylor Santa, aka Hamilton, a thru-hiker who completed the Appalachian Trail in 2017 before returning to complete both the Florida Trail and Continental Divide Trail in 2024.  In this one, we dive into Hamilton taking shots of pop and energy drinks every two hours on the night shift before quitting her job to hike the AT, surviving 30 miles of chest-deep swamp walking on the Florida Trail, getting bitten in the face by a fake service dog at a Chama bar, her sudden, blister-inducing allergy to Leukotape, a near-miss lightning strike that instantly killed a cluster of cows right in front of her group in Idaho, a wild night in Dubois that involved $3 VFW craft beers and charm-talking a cowboy out of his hat, and the secret to reading over 100 books in a single year.  We wrap the show with a guide to dealing with wildfire smoke on trail, picking the ultimate torture song to play on repeat for your mortal enemy, a Triple Crown of cliche Instagram captions, how I used my kids to escape a ticket, and a mailbag praising the forgotten greatness of Nerds Ropes.

Feeling like a failure right now? Science says that might actually mean you're winning.In this episode, I break down the frog pond effect, a 1966 study that explains why growth feels like falling behind instead of getting ahead. When you level up, your standards change, your environment changes, and suddenly you're comparing yourself to people who are further along than you used to be around. That feeling of not measuring up isn't proof you're failing. It's proof you're in a bigger pond.And here's the part most people miss. Addicts already understand this better than anyone. We know what it feels like to have 30 days in a small meeting and 30 days in a big meeting. Same 30 days. Same objective progress. But that big meeting feels scary to claim, feels smaller, feels like it doesn't count as much even though it's the exact same milestone. We've already lived that gap between what's true and what it feels like. We know how to sit in that discomfort and internalize the win anyway, because we've done it in the rooms.If you've ever felt like giving up right when things started getting hard, this episode is going to change how you see that moment completely.DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.com

"Quit" might be the most forbidden word in sports. Journalist Lindsay Crouse says that's exactly the problem.Lindsay spent 15 years at The New York Times covering the extremes of human performance before turning the question on herself: what if the constant pushing through wasn't actually working? Her new book, The Case for Quitting, argues that stepping back is often the smarter, braver choice, not the weaker one. Lindsay and JP unpack why our brains default to staying on a path long after it stops serving us, and how Roger Bannister broke the four minute mile only after he stopped training entirely for three days.This one is for any coach who has ever told an athlete to push through pain that wasn't actually productive, and for any coach who has done the same thing to themselves.Chapters(00:00) Welcome and Book Origins(00:43) Why She Wrote The Case for Quitting(03:53) Where the Need to Persevere Comes From(07:01) JP's Basketball Story(12:22) Regret Research and Spotlight Effect(19:07) Fromm's Having vs Being(21:29) Is Grit Sometimes a Bad Habit(26:04) Why Coaches Can't Shut It Down(27:31) Bannister's Rest Before the Mile RecordTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."Quitting is not simply a failure of resolve or an easy way out.

An over the counter inhaler meant to ease breathing while smoking turned out worse for the lungs than the cigarettes themselves.   Learning that truth finally forced a real decision instead of another workaround.   Quitting smoking with a nicotine patch was genuinely brutal, with cravings and withdrawal that took real effort.   Solving one problem did not fix everything else, old habits simply found new outlets afterward.   Sometimes a coping tool is not solving a problem, it is just making it tolerable enough to avoid the real decision.

Erica Gerard tried to find the right antidepressant for over two decades, one where the benefits outweighed the side effects. Finally, she decided to get off her medication. What followed was a harrowing journey she was not prepared for. On this episode, what people should consider before quitting. We also explore whether new tools could help doctors better match patients with medications. Journalist Erica Gerard was first prescribed Prozac in college after years of feeling sad, lonely and disconnected from her peers. The medication helped — but it also left her constantly exhausted and feeling as though she was watching her own life from behind a screen. After more than two decades, she decided she wanted to stop taking the medication. She documented her journey for The Pulse, and what she learned about tapering off safely. A new federal initiative aimed at getting Americans off antidepressants has put a spotlight on this issue. Psychiatrist Jonathan Slater joins us to discuss the complexities of de-prescribing these medications. He says there's a lack of training and guidelines for tapering off safely, adding that the process requires individualized, monitored care with psychological support.  When a mental health issue made it impossible for British author Madeline Dyer to focus on her writing career, a physician suggested she should try an antidepressant. She was reluctant to give it a shot, fearing it would make her less creative. The medication ended up helping her a lot, but she says it impacted her genre of choice.

Addiction affects millions of people, yet stigma and misunderstanding often prevent people from seeking help. In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Jonathan Avery, an addiction psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, about the realities of addiction and recovery. Dr. Avery explains that addiction is more than a problem of willpower. Drawing on research and clinical experience, he discusses how genetics, mental health, trauma, social factors, and brain chemistry all play a role in the development of substance use disorders and behavioral addictions. The conversation examines how addictive behaviors, from alcohol use and opioid dependence to gambling and social media use, affect the brain's reward system and why quitting can be so difficult. Dr. Avery also shares how newer treatments, including medications and emerging research on GLP-1 medications, are changing the landscape of addiction care. Finally, Dr. Avery discusses the importance of reducing stigma, building supportive communities, and recognizing that recovery is possible. He offers practical advice for people who may be struggling themselves as well as guidance for supporting loved ones with compassion and understanding. Chapters 00:00 – What Is Addiction? Why addiction is more than a substance, the role of trauma and mental health, and what happens in the brain 05:05 – Gambling, Screens, and Modern Addictions How behavioral addictions affect the brain and why smartphones have changed the landscape 09:00 – Treatment, Recovery, and New Hope Available therapies, medications, emerging GLP-1 research, and why most people do get better 11:30 – Breaking Stigma and Supporting Recovery Why connection matters, how addiction overlaps with mental health, and ways to support loved ones Key Topics Covered Addiction Recovery Substance use disorders Alcohol use disorder Opioid addiction Fentanyl epidemic Behavioral addictions Gambling addiction Social media addiction Gaming addiction Nicotine and vaping Dopamine and reward pathways Withdrawal Mental health and addiction Trauma and addiction Addiction stigma Recovery support Community and connection Addiction treatment Medication-assisted treatment GLP-1 medications Self-medication hypothesis Depression and addiction Anxiety and addiction Addiction psychiatry Key Takeaway Addiction is a complex health condition influenced by brain biology, mental health, life experiences, and environment, not simply a lack of willpower. While quitting can be challenging, effective treatments, supportive communities, and growing understanding of addiction are helping more people achieve lasting recovery. Reaching out for help is often the first and most important step.   Bio: Jonathan Avery, M.D., is an addiction psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and vice chair of addiction psychiatry, a professor of clinical psychiatry, and the Stephen P.

He then completed a fellowship in addiction psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine before joining the faculty at Weill Cornell Medicine. Dr. Avery has published widely in addiction psychiatry, with work spanning clinician attitudes toward patients with addiction, treatment approaches for substance use disorders, and the intersection of mental illness and addiction.

Hughesy!This was meant to be a chat about booze… but somehow Vic ended up being spiritually mentored by this legendary Aussie larrikin!Dave Hughes gave up alcohol at just 21 years old, after years of binge drinking, blackouts and waking up with no idea how he had got home. He had watched alcohol control his dad's life, and one Christmas Eve in 1992, he realised he didn't want it controlling his future too.Nearly 34 years later, Hughesy joins Vic to talk about growing up in Australia's deeply ingrained drinking culture, why accepting that he would never drink again made sobriety easier, and how giving up the grog gave him the stability and confidence to begin his comedy career.They also chat about coping with criticism, managing the addictive buzz of applause, and why getting sober dosnt always have to be about getting help - it can just be a really smart choice!But this conversation becomes about much more than booze. Dave shares what getting sacked from radio taught him about ego, why grudges disappear when you stay present, and how real freedom comes from remembering that most of the things we worry about do not matter nearly as much as we think they do.Can giving up alcohol teach you how to stop living in the past, worrying about the future and finally relax into the life happening right now?Listen to find out! - (but if you don't have time the answer is yes!)@dhughesyGo and see Dave in his Australia stand up tour - https://davehughes.com.au/
