Start the year with a training reset that actually fits real life. We lay out a practical vision for 2026: less bashing between camps, more education, and a class model built for consistency. Instead of forcing rigid rules that fall apart on hard weeks, we show how to meet owners where they are, build trust, and add tools later when it makes sense. The throughline is sustainability—habits you'll keep because they're simple, fair, and aligned with how you live.We break down why variety matters and how a gym-style schedule keeps both dogs and humans engaged. Reactivity classes focus on early interruption and neutrality, obedience sessions sharpen markers and play, detection taps into real nosework, and guided pack hikes bring nature back into the routine. You'll hear how small, repeatable skills—shuffle back, pay, reset—turn panic into a plan, and why those reps create calm confidence faster than any quick fix.We also take on the myth that a flat, silent dog is a well-trained dog. Training shouldn't crush personality. By channeling drive, rewarding curiosity, and teaching clean off-switch behavior, you can keep your dog's spark while gaining real control. That balance is where owners rediscover joy: an off-leash hike in the morning, a cafe settle at lunch, crisp heel work at class, and a happy dog who still lights up for play.Under it all is community. Weekly sessions turn effort into a habit, reduce isolation for reactive dog owners, and lift everyone's standards. We're building a space in Upland, east of LA, where people feel seen and dogs get the outlets they deserve. If you want training that lasts beyond a boot camp and a dog who stays fully alive, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review with your top training goal for 2026.Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.

In this season-opening episode of Being Human, Steve Cuss and Clarissa Moll explore how communication styles can either fuel anxiety and reactivity—or reduce it through deeper connection. Instead of focusing on what we say, they examine how we say it: the hidden subtext, assumptions, and “static” that cause people (especially leaders, couples, and teams) to mishear one another. Steve shares a practical framework for identifying three key communication patterns—rigid vs. fluid, rapid vs. deliberate, and external vs. internal processing—and explains how these differences show up in marriages, workplaces, and conflict. The goal isn't to label anyone as “right” or “wrong,” but to build awareness that leads to humility, curiosity, and spiritually grounded connection.

End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework Architects often find themselves juggling client demands, project deadlines, and team issues while feeling like they have no space left for themselves. This episode tackles that hidden pain—why architects run on panic even while designing calm, beautiful spaces for others. Many firm owners live in constant "firefighting" mode, but don't see the cost on health, team, and profits. You'll hear stories of monks, pilots, scuba divers, and tax bills that show the price of knee-jerk reactions. You'll also see how nervous system science, rituals, and one monthly habit can raise your status as a leader and steady your team. You'll glimpse a way to run your practice, where you feel ahead instead of always behind. Why one pilot's "engine failure" became a masterclass in calm leadership. The daily habit that turns your inbox from trap to tool. How a tweak in planning flips your practice from drama to safety.

In this subscriber-only episode (1-159) of Living the Tao, Master Steenrod examines a quiet but widespread problem: why clarity, restraint, and spiritual insight seem to disappear when life becomes stressful — even when we understand the teachings. From a Taoist perspective, the issue is not discipline, belief, or willpower. It's energy. This episode explores how higher thought, ethical behavior, and spiritual stability are energy-dependent states. When qi is depleted, advanced behavior becomes unavailable. Choice narrows. Reactivity replaces agency. What feels like moral or spiritual failure is often an energetic condition. Drawing from classical Taoist understanding — and contrasting it with how many spiritual systems are applied today — this talk reframes struggle without blame and restores a missing sequence: energy first, clarity second. In this episode, you'll hear: Why low energy collapses higher behavior How modern life quietly drains qi Why many spiritual teachings fail without an energetic foundation How ethics and insight naturally emerge from sufficient energy Why restoring energy must come before higher practice This is not motivational content. It's structural explanation — intended for listeners ready to examine why understanding alone doesn't translate into lived stability.

In this solo episode, I explore unconditional love as a living, breathing practice, one that asks us to recognise the divinity within ourselves and in everyone we meet. Unconditional love is not a destination, but a journey of gently clearing the layers that obscure our true nature: identification with thoughts, emotions, opinions, judgements, control, and the need for others or life to be different.Through conscious presence and compassion, we begin to meet life exactly as it is, without expectation.Reactivity becomes a guide rather than a problem, pointing us toward the places within that are asking for more love, breath, and understanding. As we learn to soften resistance and respond with awareness, love naturally deepens and expands.This episode also explores an important truth: unconditional love does not mean tolerating harmful behaviour. Sometimes, the most loving act is to set clear boundaries or to step away from a person or situation. We are all a work in progress, and this practice is ongoing, a moment-to-moment invitation to breathe, let go, and return to love.

Do you ever feel like you become reactionary and out of control in an instant? In this episode, I explore the feeling of being reactive, particularly when it happens with the people you care about most. Reactivity can make you feel like you're no longer in control of your emotions, and the intensity of that reaction can feel overwhelming and insurmountable.   Today, I'm introducing the concept of a mental and emotional U-turn, a tool that can help reduce reactivity and give you clarity about what's happening when you feel triggered. You'll learn how to recognize when you need to do a U-turn by paying attention to your emotions and physical sensations. I'll guide you through how to slow down in those heated moments and keep your focus inward rather than getting pulled back into the situation.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/202   Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

Send us a textIn this episode of the Autoimmune RESET Podcast, I'm joined by Dr Jill Carnahan, MD — functional medicine physician, author of Unexpected, and someone whose clinical work is deeply shaped by her own lived experience of chronic illness.Jill shares her extraordinary personal journey, from growing up on a farm with heavy chemical exposure, to being diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer at just 25, followed by Crohn's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and later mould-related illness. Rather than accepting these diagnoses as isolated events, Jill's curiosity led her to ask the deeper question so many people with autoimmune disease eventually ask: why?From there, we explore one of the most complex and misunderstood areas in modern medicine — mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Jill explains how mast cell activation is often not a primary diagnosis, but a downstream expression of deeper immune overload, driven by a combination of genetic susceptibility, infectious burden, toxic exposure, gut permeability, and nervous system stress.We discuss why MCAS is frequently missed or poorly understood in conventional medicine, what a true diagnosis involves, and why testing can be challenging and unreliable if not handled correctly. Jill also shares why attempting detoxification or antimicrobial treatment before stabilising mast cells can make symptoms dramatically worse — something many listeners may recognise from their own experience.This conversation goes beyond theory and testing. Jill walks through her clinical approach to stabilising mast cells, including where natural supports, medications, limbic system regulation, trauma work, and lifestyle foundations fit into the healing process. We also talk honestly about overwhelm — how to reduce toxic load gradually, without fear or perfectionism, and why “clean air, clean water, clean food” remain non-negotiables for immune health.Finally, Jill offers something many people need to hear: hope. Despite decades of immune and inflammatory illness, she now lives a full, active life — travelling, working, and thriving — and shares the daily practices that support her resilience, from sleep and nature to nervous system regulation and connection.This episode is essential listening if you:Suspect MCAS or histamine intoleranceHave worsened after infections, COVID, mould, or detox protocolsFeel reactive to foods, environments, or supplementsWant a root-cause, compassionate understanding of immune dysregulationNeed reassurance that recovery is possible, even when things feel complexA deeply validating and educational conversation for anyone navigating autoimmunity, chronic illness, or unexplained immune reactivity.

Parenting a child who's melting down while you're barely holding it together yourself can feel impossible.One minute you're calm, and the next—you're yelling too. You didn't mean to, but their meltdown triggered yours. You're not alone, and it doesn't mean you're a bad parent. It means both of your nervous systems are overwhelmed.Let me share why this happens and exactly how to stop the cycle of dysregulation before it spirals out of control. You'll learn how your calm can anchor your child, what to do in the heat of the moment, and how small shifts can lead to lasting change in your family.Why Do I Lose My Cool When My Child Has a Meltdown?When your child screams, your nervous system feels it. That's because of mirror neurons—the part of the brain that syncs emotions and energy between people. Your child's chaos can trigger yours, just like your stress can trigger theirs.Here's what's happening:Your stress cup overflows just like your child's. Every demand, noise, or unexpected change adds a drop until you spill over.Your survival brain takes over. Logic goes offline, patience disappears, and you react instead of respond.You move into fight, flight, or freeze, which makes emotional regulation nearly impossible.

The fastest way to a reliable recall isn't a bigger treat pouch—it's a cleaner language. We break down a simple system that teaches dogs to look back, come in, and shut off pressure, starting with two markers: “get it” to send away and “yes” to call back. Once that loop is automatic, we layer the e-collar over the turning moment so the sensation becomes meaningful and predictable. The result is a dog that chooses you, even when the world gets loud.We also draw clear lines between heel and with me. Different sides, different bubbles, different payoff zones. That clarity matters because accountability only works when the rule is knowable. We show how to use a flexi leash to mimic off-leash freedom, when to tap vs hold, and how to stop living at low levels the dog ignores. Instead of nagging, we teach first with leash and food, then correct for breaking known commands. That shift tightens heel, sharpens recall, and keeps sessions upbeat and fair.Reactivity? We tackle it from the ground up. Build engagement at home, rehearse calm returns near triggers, and correct the choice to leave position—never “shock the reactivity” first. We share practical steps for door barking too: a brief hold to interrupt, release on quiet, then a calm scatter to reset state. Add in smart victory laps at the end of play to vent drive without losing focus, and you'll feel the whole system click. Want more help dialing levels, timing markers, and shaping criteria that stick?

In this illuminating episode of Gateways to Awakening, I speak with Dr. Mitch Abrams, a clinical psychologist, anger management expert, and author of Anger Management in Sport: Understanding and Controlling Violence in Athletes AND his latest book, "I'm Not F*cking Angry! Adjust the Flame to Get What You Want and Need". Together, we explore the deeper layers of anger — what it really is, how it operates beneath the surface, and how we can transform it from a destructive force into a source of strength, clarity, and emotional intelligence. “If I can provoke you, I can control you.” - Mitch Abrams Dr. Abrams shares practical tools to help us recognize anger before it turns toxic — from breathwork and visualization to cognitive awareness and strategic pause. He discusses how anger often hides loneliness, misunderstanding, or self-judgment, and why learning to “adjust the flame” can restore our sense of control and power.We also dive into:How to identify your emotional triggers before they take overThe subtle differences in how anger shows up in men and womeHow relationships mirror our insecurities and reveal our workThe psychology behind reactivity — and how to choose calm over chaosWhy true confidence requires humility, and how self-efficacy builds resilienceThis episode is an invitation to become less reactive and more rooted — to reclaim your energy, practice emotional mastery, and reconnect with your higher intelligence, even in moments of fire.If this episode spoke to you: please share it, tag us @Gateways_To_Awakening, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts — it helps these conversations reach more people. For more from me: follow my writing on Substack (substack.com/@therealyasmeent), find me on Instagram @TheRealYasmeenT, or visit InnerKnowingSchool.com.

This week we resume our study of the life of Moses by delving into a passage that challenges us to think deeply about the importance of healthy boundaries. Why are healthy boundaries important? What should my boundaries be? How can I grow my ability to maintain those boundaries? These are some of the core questions we'll explore on Sunday.

Jesse and Verena sat down with Suzanne Clothier of Relationship Center Training to discuss what's behind the label "reactive". "Reactive" has become a catch all term for dogs with big feelings these days, but what does it truly mean when we use it? We look at different kinds of reactivity all the while Suzanne reminds us to remember that each dog is a unique individual. The shoutout goes out to Suzanne's wonderful work. For dog trainers, she has the upcoming course "Reactivity Repair Kit" (check this page for announcements). For dog guardians, she recommends "RCT Skills for the Reactive Dog" and her unmissable classic "The Auto Check In." We would appreciate your support for the Reward Your Dog Podcast by liking, rating, reviewing, and sharing. It helps us so much!

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik and mental health coach Davina Hehn cut through the fluff on anger. You'll learn how to read anger as data (not a defect), use nervous-system tools in the moment, and practice micro-repairs that rebuild trust at home and at work. Practical scripts, time-bound pauses, thought-stopping, and collaboration strategies make this a clear playbook for conflict without collateral damage. About the guest  : Davina Hehn is a trained therapist turned mental health coach. She helps people advocate for themselves without causing harm, regulate their nervous systems, and parent with accountability and repair. Key takeaways  : Anger is a pointer, not a personality flaw; it flags crossed boundaries, unmet needs, or perceived injustice. Do hourly micro-check-ins (jaw, heart rate, “cold-to-hot” scale) to catch activation early. Use a 30-second reset: notice body cues, name the need, choose a response over a reaction. Radical self-responsibility means holding multiple truths: “What I felt was valid; what I did wasn't helpful.” In-the-moment regulation: breathe with longer exhales; hum or lightly pinch fingertips for bilateral input; stay present. Create time-bound pauses: “I'm activated. I need 5 minutes. I'll come back.” Agree on a neutral cue word as a couple or family. Repair with consent and specifics: ask to revisit, share each perspective, name what you'll do differently next time. Aftercare matters: stop rumination with thought-stopping (visual stop sign) to complete the stress cycle. Prevention beats penance: set realistic timelines for behavior change; consistency rebuilds trust. Litmus test for action: channel anger into changes within your control; avoid rushing to act while still highly activated.SEO: anger intelligence, repair over rupture, parenting repair, conflict scripts, nervous system tools, relationship communication.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty... Proverbs 16:32 and A fool utters all his mind... Proverbs 29:11. This episode explores emotional intelligence from a spiritual perspective — learning to pause, pray, and discern before reacting. It emphasizes that emotions are not the enemy but must be governed to protect your calling and walk in prophetic maturity. Through practical encouragement and prayer, listeners are invited to move from being emotionally led to Spirit-led, stewarding feelings with wisdom, discipline, and healing.

Today's guest is James de Lacey. James is a professional strength and conditioning coach and the founder of Sweet Science of Fighting, a leading platform for combat sports performance. He has coached in professional rugby leagues across New Zealand, Europe, and the United States, and has trained athletes in MMA, boxing, Muay Thai, and BJJ. Through Sweet Science of Fighting, he delivers evidence-based programs and education for fighters and coaches worldwide. Strength training for athleticism typically focuses on sets, reps, and general forces, but rarely gets into aliveness and skill management of the resistance itself. The former is great for building basic physical competencies, but in integrating the latter, we can breathe more life into a performance program. On today's show, we dive into James' approach to building athletic strength and power across multiple mediums. We explore how Olympic lifting, especially pull variations, connects to real sport actions, and how striking and collision sports highlight the importance of timing, rigidity, and effective mass. We also break down resistance methods like oscillatory work, flywheels, and accentuated eccentrics, focusing on their alive, reactive qualities rather than just load. These principles carry into speed and power training, including plyometrics and sprinting, with rhythm and movement quality as a central theme. The episode makes strong connections between field sports and combat sports, showing how momentum, relaxation, and rigidity at impact shape performance.

This is useful for actions like a mat return. Select Snatch over Clean: Choose snatch variations (e.g., power snatch from the hip/hang) over the clean for general athletes because the front rack position is often too difficult, making the snatch easier to learn. Match Lift to Resource/Context: Recognize that the implementation of Olympic lifts in a team setting is often constrained by equipment (e.g., only two barbells for a team) and the athlete's level. 4:26 - The Role of Bar Flex and Slack in Block Pulls vs. Rack Pulls Understand Sensory Differences: Recognize that pulling from blocks feels different than pulling from a power rack. Blocks hold the plates, allowing for "slack" and "flex" in the bar, similar to a deadlift bar. Avoid Dead Weight: Pulling from a rack holds the bar and removes the flex, creating a "dead weight" stimulus, which makes the lift harder and limits the use of bar properties to set positions. 7:03 - High Block Work for Impulse and Technical Refinement Train for Time Constraints: Utilize high block work to force athletes to generate high impulse in very short time frames, mirroring the time constraints often encountered in sport. Force Pull-Under Technique: High blocks are a beneficial constraint that forces the athlete to actively "pull themselves under" the bar,...

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Today I'm talking about how being intentional - basically doing things on purpose rather than on autopilot - can genuinely reshape how we deal with hoarding and our stuff. I'll share how intentionality helps us pause, make better decisions, and treat ourselves with more compassion, rather than reacting on impulse or out of habit. Plus, I'll look at how setting small boundaries and choosing to rest on purpose can all be important aspects of real, lasting change. The transformative power of intentionality. Setting the stage: How being intentional relates to what we keep, acquire, or discard. What is Intentionality and Why Does it Matter? Definition: Acting with purpose, consciousness, and awareness. Impact on self-perception: How intentional actions can improve self-esteem and self-compassion. Increasing the distance between stimulus and response. Agency and empowerment: Transition from reactive to deliberate decision-making. Examples (nature walks, acquiring possessions): Using intentionality to shape experiences and choices. Intentionality vs. Reactivity in Hoarding-Related Decisions Reactive behaviours: Impulse acquisitions and the resulting feelings of regret. Intentional decision-making process: Steps and self-questioning (e.g., Do I need this? Does this fit my values?). Intentionality in Dehoarding Emotional barriers: Overwhelm, panic, and high-stakes feelings in hoarding/dehoarding. The value of starting small: Engaging in micro-decisions with thoughtfulness. Shifting mindset: Moving from resentment (“I have to") to choice ("I choose to”). Language and self-talk: The impact of words on perception and action. Boundaries: Establishing and maintaining intentional rules for oneself (e.g., only buying clothing in your current size). Intentional Habits, Rituals, and Boundaries Creating structure: Using rituals (tea, meditation, rewards) to make dehoarding sessions purposeful. Habitual vs. intentional choices: Challenging default behaviors (e.g., always keeping old birthday cards). Self-reflection: Using intentionality to question long-standing personal rules. Intentional Inaction: Choosing Not to Act Recognising when rest is necessary: The difference between intentional rest and giving up. Personal example: Planning for difficult days by intentionally not scheduling activities. Self-compassion: Allowing yourself to rest without self-judgment. Rest, Self-Care, and Challenging Productivity Myths Importance of rest in the decluttering process. Distinguishing between caring rest and avoidance. Encouraging self-compassion and recognising limits. Navigating Grey Areas in Intentionality The challenge of self-deception: When “intentionality” masks hoarding justifications. Tools for discernment: Grounded vs. anxiety-driven decisions. Value alignment: Considering whether choices support personal values and goals. Managing Setbacks and Self-Compassion Responding to slip-ups: Viewing mistakes as data, not failure. Problem-solving: Analysing triggers and adjusting future behaviour. Avoiding all-or-nothing thinking: Reframing setbacks and maintaining momentum. Building an Intentionality Practice The ongoing nature of intentionality: It's a skill developed over time. Practical applications: Small daily decisions (e.g., washing dishes immediately). Mindfulness: Checking in with thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. Encouragement: Be patient with yourself - progress, not perfection. The cumulative power of intentional decisions.

Dr. Jason Whiting explores honesty, emotions, and relationship repair as foundational elements for building trust and connection in committed partnerships.• Honesty is universally valued but challenging to maintain consistently in relationships• Research shows people tell an average of three lies in ten minutes when first meeting someone new• Emotions strongly influence how we perceive our partners and can turn them into "enemies" rather than allies• Editing words to find truth rather than hiding it distinguishes authentic honesty from reactive "brutal honesty"• Basic self-care practices like sleep, exercise, and nutrition significantly impact relationship quality• Negotiated timeouts provide space to calm down before addressing relationship challenges• Authenticity develops through consistent choices to be reflective rather than defensive• Trust requires consistent effort to build and significant time to repair after betrayal• Small, consistent acts of commitment build trust more effectively than grand gesturesRemember that trust is something that can be grown with consistent effort, and relationships thrive when we prioritize giving them quality time and attention.Two Awesome PeopleNew Episodes Every Monday and Thursday!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyVisit our site for FREE relationship resources and regular giveaways: Strongermarriage.org Podcast.stongermarriage.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrongerMarriageLife TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@strongermarriagelife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strongermarriagelife/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strongermarriage/ Facebook Marriage Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/770019130329579 Dr. Dave Schramm: http://drdaveschramm.com http://drdavespeaks.com Dr. Liz Hale: http://www.drlizhale.com/

Send us a textIn this client consult, Millie works with Sara and her 4½-year-old Bichon, Charlotte, to tackle a swirl of issues: leash reactivity toward dogs and people, door/window “bouncer” behavior, sock/paper eating, and an intense attachment that's taken over daily life. We lay out a structure-first plan that replaces guilt-driven routines with fair, clear boundaries, so Charlotte can turn her brain off, and Sara can get her life back.What we coverWhy “more entertainment” isn't the fix: the boredom myth vs. building distress toleranceCrate as bedroom, Place as off-switch: one uninterrupted hour of Place daily (tethered if needed), plus crate after every meal (20–30 min) and when home aloneFurniture with rules: invitation-only up, handler ends the cuddle session—no self-appointingWalk mindset: neutral, non-negotiable structure beats mileage and hypeReactivity at windows/doors: remove the job, redirect to Place before the explosionPica management: ruthless environmental control; vet-approved chew alternatives for a natural outletRelationship > obedience: why true recall is a relationship test, not a cue trickPack position reframe: Charlotte looks “alpha,” but she's a back-of-pack dog forced into the front—no wonder she's stressedTravel prep: how a sitter can kick-start overnight crating without emotional backslidingSupport the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9 @OzzieAlbiesFoundation Work with Mirror Image K9 here: https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest: https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.com Learn More About The Best Chance Program: https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

Do you believe God loves you but struggle to feel it? Or do you wrestle with the need to control everything while believing God is in charge? If you're stuck in the gap between what you believe and what you experience, this episode is for you! We are excited to share this interview because we know it will speak to the common dynamics that show up in our relationships and spiritual journey. Host Austin Conner invites pastor and author Steve Cuss to share about his book The Expectation Gap, offering strategies to help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.   Most of us experience a disconnect between our faith and daily life, which is what inspired Steve to address relational patterns that fuel addiction and spiritual stagnation. Using the Systems Theory, Steve identifies the relational dynamics of: Reactivity, Assumptions, Stuck Patterns and Attempted Solutions as a map for understanding how and why we get discouraged in our faith and disconnect from others.  This conversation also highlights the false needs of Control, Perfection, Knowing the Answer, Being There for Others and Seeking Approval, and how they drive anxiety and block God's comforting presence. You will learn how to cultivate micro-habits that replace chaos and striving with awareness and stillness.  If you want to learn more or find Steve's Life-Giving List, visit stevecusswords.com or read Steve's book The Expectation Gap.  Connect with us & Subscribe to our weekly newsletter!
