The Power of "I Am": Rewiring Identity for Real ChangeI'm trying something new — a weekly Friday recap where I share some of the reflections that come up in my world during the week, in the hope that they help you too.This week's inspiration came straight from one of my NourisHer coaching calls. We went deep — because the truth is, health and fitness progress is never just about the food or the training plan. It's about the limiting beliefs, the self-sabotage, the confidence, and the values sitting underneath it all.The journaling prompt I want to leave you with this week is built around two small but massive words: "I am." Try this — write out 10 spontaneous "I am" statements, no overthinking, and see what comes up. What you write will tell you a lot about the identity narratives quietly shaping your habits and your reality.Here's the catch, though. Negative "I am" labels — "I am ugly," "I am anxious," "I am depressed" — don't just describe how you feel, they can trap you in a shame cycle. So I talk through a shift: separating feelings from identity. "I feel tired" is very different from "I am tired." And instead, I want you using intentional, believable identity statements — things like "I am someone who walks every day" — to build real momentum, one baby step at a time.I'd love to know what comes up for you with this one — send me your feedback. And if you want support putting any of this into action, I break down where NourisHer and LeadHer can help at the end.Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome Back Solo Episode 01:33 Weekly Recap Podcast Plan 02:14 Nourish Her Calls Go Deep 05:37 Journaling Power of I Am 07:04 Identity Boxes and Self Talk 08:10 Affirmations and Baby Steps 11:54 Feelings Are Not Identity 14:27 Support Systems and Language 15:47 Intentional I Am Examples 17:23 Momentum Business and Next Step 18:35 No Five Year Plan Mindset 19:33 Wrap Up and Coaching OfferLinks & Resources: Apply for LeadHer business mentorship here Apply for NourisHer health & fitness coaching here Subscribe to my weekly coaching newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with my Kate Hamilton Business Instagram here Connect with Kate Hamilton Business Facebook here Connect with my Kate Hamilton Health Instagram here Connect with Kate Hamilton Health Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.Music b LiQWYD Free download: hypeddit.com/link/xxtopb [http://hypeddit.com/link/xxtopb] Promoted by FreeMusicPromo [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbycji-eySnM3WD8mbxPUSQ] / @freemusicpromo

From Knowing Better to Actually Doing Differently You know the pattern. You know you over-function. You know you take responsibility for other people's feelings. You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe spent years in therapy or coaching - and you understand why you do what you do. So how do you move from knowing better to actually doing differently? In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda explores the gap between understanding a pattern and being able to make a different choice when you're actually inside it—and what helps close that gap. Because when someone you love is uncomfortable, helping may not even feel like a decision. It can feel like love. Helping. Compassion. Responsibility. And sometimes the very thing you're resentful about later is something you didn't realize you were choosing in the moment. The answer isn't more shame. And it isn't necessarily more insight. It's learning to notice the moment sooner. To create enough space between what you feel and what you do that you can recognize: I have a choice here. You'll hear how empathy can turn someone else's discomfort into something you feel responsible for fixing, why noticing your choice sooner is such an important part of building self-trust, and how practice begins turning something you intellectually understand into something you can actually live. Brenda also shares why practicing alongside other women can accelerate this work. Sometimes hearing another woman describe your exact pattern creates the realization: Oh. I do that too. Shame loosens. You witness another possibility. And eventually, you get to practice choosing differently yourself. In this episode: Why understanding your patterns doesn't automatically change them How helping can relieve your discomfort with someone else's discomfort The hidden choices that can eventually create resentment Why caring doesn't automatically make something yours to carry How to create space between an automatic response and a conscious choice A simple question to interrupt automatic rescuing What “more quickly” can tell you about real transformation Why witnessing other women is part of the mechanism inside POWER The difference between insight, practice, and embodiment POWER: Self-Trust for Empaths is currently open for enrollment.

Hypnosis, Integrity, Wealth and the Art of Real ChangeWhat separates a genuinely skilled hypnotherapist from someone who simply knows the techniques?In this wide-ranging conversation, clinical hypnotherapist and creator of The Hypnotist Adam Cox joins Greg Bornstein on Open Loops to explore what really creates change — and why experience, curiosity, integrity and adaptability may matter more than scripts, protocols and certifications.A central theme is congruency. Adam argues that a practitioner should genuinely believe in the work they offer, while avoiding false certainty. Confidence matters, but confidence without competence can be damaging. A therapist cannot guarantee every result, but they can hold the belief that change is possible when a client temporarily cannot.Adam also explains why he describes himself as an “anti-healer.” Rather than viewing clients as sick or broken, he sees many unwanted behaviours, fears and emotional responses as learned strategies that once served a purpose. The goal is not necessarily to “fix” someone, but to understand what their mind learned and help them develop more useful choices.Greg and Adam explore the detective-like nature of effective therapy. Sometimes the explanation for a problem is simple; other times there are several possible “suspects” — beliefs, fears, associations, secondary gains or coping strategies. The skill is in noticing clues and adapting to the person in front of you instead of forcing every client through the same process.They discuss why real client experience is one of the greatest teachers a therapist can have. Courses provide knowledge, but repeated work with real people develops pattern recognition, sensory acuity and intuition that cannot easily be learned from theory alone.The conversation also covers:Self-hypnosis, parts work and NLP submodalities.Why highly analytical clients can respond well to metaphor and nested loops.The limitations of staged hypnosis demonstrations.Why a setback does not necessarily mean hypnosis has failed.How to work inside a client's model of reality without necessarily agreeing with it.Why therapy can be more effective when treated as a puzzle rather than a rigid protocol.The importance of having more therapeutic choices, not fewer.The discussion then turns to money, wealth and subconscious beliefs.Adam challenges the idea that financial destiny is permanently programmed in childhood. Early experiences can absolutely shape beliefs around money, scarcity, safety and success — but learned beliefs can also be updated.Someone who watched constant arguments about money may associate wealth with conflict. Someone who had money taken from them may learn to “use it or lose it”. Someone criticised for coming from a successful family may unconsciously associate achievement with rejection.Adam introduces the metaphor of the selfish farmer: someone with fertile land who refuses to grow an abundance of food because other people have less. By refusing to create abundance, the farmer ultimately has nothing to give.The episode finishes with another counterintuitive idea: giving away more can create more commercial value.Adam explains why thousands of his hypnosis sessions are freely available while his one-to-one time commands a premium. Digital information can be reproduced almost infinitely; personal time cannot. Sharing valuable work builds trust, reputation and visibility — which can make scarce resources even more valuable.The underlying message is simple:Walk your talk. Build competence through experience. Test ideas against reality. Stay humble about what you cannot guarantee. And remain flexible enough to change your approach when the client in front of you requires something different.Explore more hypnosis sessions at TheHypnotistPodcast.com and listen to The Hypnotist on Spotify and YouTube.

What happens when you know exactly what needs to change, but still feel unable to change it?Karin Velicka joins I Am Refocused Radio for a powerful conversation about the hidden connection between stress, achievement, emotional resilience, and lasting transformation.Karin is a NeuroSomatic Breathwork™ Facilitator, certified life coach, author of Dear Me Letters, former national squash champion, and former finance professional at the European Central Bank. Her journey has taken her from elite competition and high-performance environments to a deeper understanding of the nervous system and what it really takes to create sustainable change.In this conversation, Karin explains why willpower and self-discipline are not always enough, how chronic stress can remain stored in the body, and why creating a sense of inner safety may be the missing piece for people who feel stuck despite being highly self-aware.She also explores nervous system regulation, closing unfinished stress cycles, perfectionism, authenticity, self-trust, career transitions, breathwork, and the challenge of pursuing success without losing yourself in the process.This conversation is for the high achiever who has accomplished a lot on the outside but is beginning to ask a deeper question:Can I continue growing without constantly fighting myself to get there?Learn more about Karin Velicka and her work in nervous system regulation, breathwork, emotional resilience, and personal transformation.https://www.velickakarin.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time. 

Amy Flood, Executive Director of Women's Health Collective Canada, joins us to unpack the current state of women's health in Canada and why the gaps in research, funding, and care are much bigger than many of us realize. From women receiving just a fraction of public health research funding to Canada's surprising global ranking in women's health, Amy talks about a problem that impacts women, families, workplaces, and our healthcare system.We also explore the economic case for investing in women's health, including the estimated $37 billion annual opportunity for Canada, and the work Amy and Women's Health Collective Canada are doing to turn awareness into action. It's an eye-opening conversation about where we are today, why these gaps still exist, and what needs to change to create a healthier future for women in Canada.

DEAR MOMMA | The Corrected Felon PodcastWhat happens to the people you leave behind when the judge gives you 20 years, 40 years, or a LIFE SENTENCE?In this deeply personal episode of The Corrected Felon Podcast, Inspiretheblocc gets real about something young people often don't think about when making decisions that could change their lives forever:YOUR FAMILY IS DOING THAT TIME WITH YOU — BUT THEY'RE ALSO GETTING OLDER WITHOUT YOU.I speak from experience.While I was incarcerated, I lost my mother, my father, and my grandfather. I had to experience those losses from behind prison walls — knowing that no sentence comes with extra time for the moments you missed, the hugs you couldn't give, or the goodbyes you never got to say.This episode isn't about judging young people. It's about perspective, consequences, and understanding the REAL cost of a long prison sentence.When you're young, you may think you have plenty of time.But your mother is aging.Your father is aging.Your grandparents are aging.Your children are growing.And LIFE KEEPS MOVING.You might get another chance.YOUR FAMILY MIGHT NOT."Dear Momma" is my personal message to young people who may not understand that a prison sentence doesn't just take YOUR freedom — it can take away years of memories, family milestones, birthdays, holidays, and the opportunity to say goodbye to the people you love.This is real life. This is my story. And this is a conversation that needs to be had.Welcome to The Corrected Felon Podcast.Real Stories. Real Change.

Leaders and young people met at the Africa Mindset Reset Forum in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, to rethink Africa's leadership and institutions. But can ambitious ideas move beyond debate and deliver real change?

On this episode of The Corrected Felon Podcast, Corey Frazier (@Inspiretheblocc) has a candid conversation to young men about the Lil Durk murder-for-hire trial and the controversy surrounding OTF Jam and alleged cooperation with authorities.Is “snitching” really something new in the street world? We take a step back and look at the history of organized crime—from John Gotti and Sammy “The Bull” Gravano to today's street organizations—and ask a bigger question:If the streets have always operated on loyalty, retaliation, and silence, why are people surprised when those same relationships eventually break down?This isn't about glorifying the streets. It's about having an honest conversation about where gang life, violence, loyalty, betrayal, and criminal justice ultimately lead.The message: The streets don't come with a retirement plan. Too often, the ending is prison, death, betrayal, or all three.

Text the show! Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty. Twenty months after his killing was celebrated as a rupture, a reckoning, and a catalyst for healthcare reform, it is finally time to check the scoreboard.What was the demand? What was the mechanism? Who built the coalition? What was the result?The answer is brutal: the movement generated celebrity, merchandise, courtroom fan culture, and a seven-figure legal defense fund—but no measurable improvement for sick Americans.Chad examines the difference between a legitimate grievance and an effective movement, why political spectacle feels like change even when it produces nothing, and the bipartisan healthcare legislation quietly doing more than the entire Mangione phenomenon.The grievance is real. The fury is earned. But fury without construction is merely rage with better branding.Plus, in the After Hours Q&A:• Why healthcare still relies on fax machines• What Mangione actually pleaded guilty to• Why telling patients to appeal isn't excusing insurers• Whether covering Mangione gives him the fame he wanted• Why insurance denials deserve their own full investigationTEXT THE SHOW: 252-CHAD-LAWVisit ChadParkerLaw.com for the books, editorials, The Gaily News, and the free Common Sense Conservative Manifesto.CHAPTERS00:00 The Scoreboard of Healthcare Reform02:04 Personal vs. Political Vengeance04:57 The Marketing of a Movement07:48 The Absence of a Clear Demand10:23 The Role of Social Media in Activism12:47 The Failure to Create Real Change15:00 Analyzing the Results of the Movement18:49 The Illusion of Change in Healthcare22:07 Real Change vs. Spectacle23:48 Relief vs. Reform26:55 Public Sentiment and Political Violence29:36 Constructive Anger: The Path Forward31:59 The Consequences of Inaction33:30 Grievance, Action, and the Reagan Reminder

Send us Fan MailIf you're new to following Jesus and you feel like every Christian voice online is pulling you in a different direction, we get it. I sat down with one goal: bring us back to the only steady ground we have, God's Word, and speak plainly about what trips up new believers before they even know it's happening.I share my own story, not the cleaned-up version: growing up in a pastor's home, letting God become an addition instead of the center, then spiraling into clubs, alcohol, cocaine, and MDMA after my first marriage broke. That descent taught me something I wish someone had told me sooner about Christian discipleship and sanctification: you don't “manage” the old life into the new one. Being born again means cutting off what feeds the old you, especially the habits, influences, and relationships that quietly pull you back.From there, we walk through Romans, focusing on salvation by grace through faith and why you can't earn your way into God's favor with performance, penance, or religious hustle. We talk about endurance, trials, and the difference between happiness and the joy of the Lord, using Romans 5 to show how suffering can produce strength of character and confident hope. I also challenge listeners to test every doctrine against Scripture and to choose humility, because pride is a trap that can undo years of growth.If you know someone who's stuck in the cycle of relapse and shame, share this with them.

What happens when you already know so much about yourself… but you're still living inside the same patterns?You've done therapy. Read the books. Learned your Human Design. You understand your childhood wounds, your limiting beliefs, your attachment style. You know you need better boundaries, more self-trust, less overthinking, more capacity to receive.And yet somehow, you keep getting pulled back into the same ways of being.In this episode, I'm breaking down the piece I think so much of personal development misses: the difference between knowing about yourself and actually living what you know.We'll talk about why so many of the seemingly separate things you're working on may actually be symptoms of the same underlying pattern—overfunctioning—and why awareness of that pattern is only the beginning.I'm also sharing the methodology I use with my clients to turn insight into actual change: small real-life experiments, gathering new evidence, expanding nervous system capacity, and slowly making a different way of living feel safe enough to become your new normal.Because at some point, you have to stop reading the manual and get in the car (this will make more sense when you listen

In Week 4 of The War Within, Pastor Chris Zauner teaches from John 15:1–17 about what real spiritual transformation looks like.Change does not come from trying harder, relying on willpower, or managing our behavior. It comes from abiding in Jesus. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit apart from the vine, we cannot experience the life of Jesus while remaining disconnected from His presence.This message explores why connection comes before production, why spiritual fruit is received rather than achieved, and how God uses pruning seasons to prepare us for greater fruitfulness. Pain is not always punishment, and struggle is not always evidence that God is distant. Sometimes the Father is forming something in us that we cannot yet see.The answer to the war within is not greater self-reliance, but deeper dependence on Christ. Jesus is not calling us to become stronger on our own. He is calling us to come closer, remain in His love, and allow His life to flow through us.Watch Week 4 of The War Within and discover how abiding in Jesus leads to lasting transformation from the inside out.

When someone betrays a partner and then starts doing "the work," the person who was hurt is left with an exhausting question: is this real, or is he just saying the right things? In this episode, host Hali Roderick is joined by psychologist Dr. Yosi Amram, known for his work on spiritual intelligence, to explore one of the most painful uncertainties in betrayal recovery — the difference between a partner who has genuinely changed and one who is simply performing accountability.Whether you're rebuilding trust, questioning whether your partner's growth is real, or doing your own accountability work, this conversation offers a deeper lens on what authentic change actually looks like.Learn more about Dr. Yosi Amram: Yosi Amram, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist, a CEO leadership coach, a couple's relationship therapist, a best-selling, award-winning author, and a pioneering researcher in the field of spiritual intelligence. A former founder and CEO who led two companies through IPOs, Yosi has coached over 100 CEOs, and works with couples to cultivate passionate conscious relationships that grow and deepen their capacity for love.

Sharon McMahon, America's government teacher, author of the number one New York Times bestseller The Small and the Mighty, and one of the most effective science communicators working right now, just on the government side joins us today. She makes the case for what types of people should run for office. The bulk of our conversation is about something I see constantly in healthcare comments: learned helplessness, the feeling that the system is too broken and too big and too entrenched to ever get better. Sharon's reframe is the one I needed to hear, this is not a volcano, it's a human-constructed system, and the abolitionists and the suffragists and the civil rights organizers all felt exactly as hopeless as we do, and they kept working anyway. We get into the Overton window, the range of what's currently politically possible, and why universal healthcare isn't in it federally right now, but state-by-state Medicaid expansion absolutely is, and why states function as "democracy laboratories" that can shift the national window over time. Sharon walks me through how to actually get a meeting with your representative, why joining your state medical society or specialty organization matters more than being one annoyed person on the internet, and how Emily Calandrelli got a federal law passed protecting nursing mothers at airport security just by having a big platform and a specific senator. We also cover the filibuster, the Electoral College (winner-take-all was never in the Constitution), the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, gerrymandering's embarrassing etymological origin, and Great Lakes shipping facts that Sharon would absolutely use to fill 24 hours on the Senate floor. My government teacher was a football coach. I am now remediated. Takeaways: Learned helplessness is the biggest obstacle to healthcare reform. The Overton window explains why federal universal healthcare feels impossible right now, but state-level progress doesn't . The most effective way to get a meeting with your representative is to call their district office, not their DC office. Joining a professional advocacy organization multiplies your impact dramatically. The filibuster is a Senate-only procedural rule that started as an accident. — Want more Sharon McMahon? @sharonsaysso http://www.thepreamble.com http://www.sharonmcmahon.com To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

In this inspiring and refreshingly practical episode, I'm joined by Amber Hollingsworth, founder of Hope for Families Recovery Center and the hugely popular YouTube channel Put The Shovel Down.Amber is a Master Addiction Counsellor with years of experience helping individuals and families navigate the reality of addiction and recovery with more compassion, clarity and hope. What I loved about this conversation was Amber's ability to take some of the big, loaded questions around addiction and make them feel human, doable and hopeful.We talked about whether “tough love” is really necessary, whether people are truly powerless over alcohol, and whether someone really has to hit rock bottom before change is possible. Amber also shared practical wisdom on dealing with cravings, coping with difficult feelings in sobriety, and what not to do when someone you love is in denial about their addiction.This is a warm, honest and empowering conversation about recovery, family, boundaries, self-compassion and the possibility of change. Amber is a real inspiration, and I absolutely loved talking with her.Amber's linksWebsite / Hope for Families Recovery Center: https://www.familyrecoveryacademy.online/YouTube — Put The Shovel Down: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT8PE1v0xFR9zLXOijxM6hgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/addictionrecoveryhopeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeforfamiliesX / Twitter: https://x.com/addicthopeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amber-hollingsworth-833111b8

In this Truths for Victory bonus segment, Josh and Patrick unpack the incredible promise found in Micah 7:18–19. But for that promise to shine brightly, it must first be set against a dark backdrop: the reality of future judgment. Sin has consequences—consequences that must be felt and allowed if real change is to take place. Praise God for His incredible grace!   Resources we mentioned: Pure Life Ministries Residential Program   Have Any Questions for Us?

Most of us don't need another hype speech. We need a repeatable way to live that doesn't collapse the moment stress hits. That's why I sat down with David Fullmer, entrepreneur, speaker, and author of Becoming Seven: The Superhuman Rhythm, to talk about the real work behind personal growth: extreme ownership, daily habits, and the decision to stop letting the past run the present.David shares pieces of his story, from a difficult childhood and youth correctional programs to addiction, anger, and the hard resets that forced him to change. We get into why “victim mode” is so tempting, why blaming parents or betrayal becomes a lifelong crutch, and how forgiveness is less about excusing someone else and more about freeing your own mind. His examples, especially the way his mother modeled grace under pressure, put real weight behind the idea that you can refuse bitterness without pretending pain never happened.Then we unpack the Becoming Seven framework, a simple seven-day rhythm designed to create lasting change without relying on motivation alone: Motivation Monday, Tracking Tuesday, Whisper Wednesday, Thankful Thursday, Forgiveness Friday, Satisfaction Saturday, and Supplication Sunday. We talk gratitude as a performance advantage, intuition as a skill you can practice, why high performers don't cling to old stories, and why doing hard things on purpose is a direct path out of average.If you want a practical mindset reset, a clearer purpose, and a weekly structure that makes self-improvement feel doable, press play now.

By Derek Strauss - Is real change possible? The struggle is changing, becoming fundamentally different. In the bible, the best example of someone becoming fundamentally different is the Apostle, Peter and it is very well documented in the bible. He story of his change is very encouraging to us.

In this special episode, Rip shares a preview of Vital Signs: Real Food. Real Medicine. Real Change., Plant Strong's upcoming CME-focused conference for healthcare providers who want to bring the power of whole-food, plant-based nutrition into real-world clinical care.This is not just another conference. Vital Signs is about helping doctors, nurses, dietitians, health coaches, and medical professionals build confidence in the evidence so they can walk into the exam room and talk about food with clarity, conviction, and hope.And here's why that matters: most providers see roughly 1,000 patients a year. Each of those patients eats three meals a day. That means every provider we reach with this message has the potential to influence nearly one million meals.One million meals.That is the power of changing the confidence of one healthcare provider. That is the power of putting real food, real evidence, and real tools into the hands of the people patients already trust.In this preview, Rip begins with the gap in medical education: providers receive thousands of hours of training in diagnosing, prescribing, and managing disease, yet most are taught very little about food as a clinical tool. And yet so much of what walks through the door every day — heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, fatigue, and loss of vitality — is deeply connected to diet and lifestyle.This conversation asks a better clinical question:What would change if food was treated as part of the prescription?You'll hear from physicians who are using lifestyle medicine in real clinical settings, beginning with cardiologist Dr. Brian Asbill, who shares a powerful patient case that changed the way he practiced medicine. His story shows that food as medicine is not simply about “eating better.” It can be a therapeutic intervention that moves risk factors, restores hope, and helps patients understand that their bodies can respond.From there, Dr. Laurie Marbas, a board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician, brings the conversation into the realities of primary care. She shares how providers can begin a food-as-medicine conversation inside a 15-minute visit, how to avoid overwhelming patients, and how one practical, specific recommendation can plant a seed for meaningful change.Next, Dr. Sunny Sharma shares what changed when he went from physician to patient after being diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. His experience deepened his empathy, strengthened his belief in prevention, and reminded him that patients are not just lab values. They are people carrying fear, stress, family responsibilities, habits, barriers, and hope.The conversation then turns to the provider side of the exam room with Dr. Kristin Kelber, a physician in Cleveland who now practices lifestyle medicine full time. Dr. Kelber speaks to provider burnout, moral distress, and the joy that can return to medicine when clinicians are equipped to help patients truly reclaim their health.Finally, Rip closes the faculty portion with a special message from his father, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr., whose decades of work have helped reshape what is possible in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Esselstyn speaks directly to providers about nutrition, cardiovascular disease, patient empowerment, and the importance of helping patients become the locus of control in their own health.What you'll hear in this episode is a compressed version of what Plant Strong is building atVital Signs 2026, taking place October 18–20 at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.At the full event, providers will go deeper into cardiovascular disease, metabolic health, behavior change, patient resistance, provider burnout, implementation, whole plant-centered meals, peer exchange, and the practical tools needed to bring lifestyle medicine into real patient care.This episode is also a call to action for the Plant Strong community.So many listeners ask, “Where can I find a provider who supports my decision to use a plant-based lifestyle in pursuit of better health?”One powerful answer is this: help us reach the providers who already care for you.Share this episode with your doctor, cardiologist, nurse practitioner, dietitian, health coach, or healthcare team. Invite them into this conversation. Encourage them to attend Vital Signs.Because if we want to move the needle in healthcare, we have to help the people inside healthcare feel empowered to prescribe one of the most powerful medicines on the planet: plants.Learn more about Vital Signs:https://plantstrongevents.com/VitalSignsWatch the Conference Preview on YouTube:https://youtu.be/U42ySRuG4gw

In this message from our Real Change series, we explore how God uses community to help us grow, heal, and become who He created us to be. We need people who encourage us to draw near to God, hold on to hope during difficult seasons, and challenge us toward love and good deeds. Real change is possible, but it requires intentional relationships and a willingness to grow together in authentic community.

Send us Fan MailDid you know that up to 80% of physical health complaints are linked to stress and anxiety? What if being stuck in fight-or-flight mode is the very thing preventing the changes you're trying to make?In this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation (AHA) Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson explore the sympathetic nervous system, the neuroscience of stress, and why chronic nervous system activation can keep us trapped in patterns of anxiety, hypervigilance, exhaustion, and reactivity.Far from being the enemy, the sympathetic nervous system is a brilliantly designed protective mechanism. The challenge is that modern life—24-hour news cycles, social media, political uncertainty, work pressures, and constant stimulation—can keep this system activated long after a genuine threat has passed.Tom and Ruth unpack the difference between reacting and responding, why real transformation requires access to the parasympathetic nervous system, and what it actually means to be stuck in survival mode. Ruth also shares her personal experience of hypervigilance following a serious injury and the intentional practices she has used to help her nervous system rediscover safety.In this episode:• What the sympathetic nervous system actually does• The real meaning of "sympathetic" — and why it has nothing to do with sympathy• Why fight or flight is protective, not the problem• How hypervigilance keeps us stuck in survival mode• Why chronic stress impacts both physical and emotional health• Managing versus adapting — and why only one creates lasting change• Practical tools for nervous system regulation, including breathwork, grounding, and intentional recovery• Why intentionality matters in today's stress-saturated worldIf you're interested in neuroscience, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, trauma recovery, stress healing, anxiety, or the mind-body connection, this episode offers a practical and compassionate framework for understanding how the body responds to stress—and how lasting change becomes possible.About the AHA PodcastThe Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast explores neuroscience, emotional resilience, trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, stress healing, and whole-person wellbeing.

Have you ever downloaded a guide, listened to a podcast, attended a workshop, or saved a post about cravings, emotional eating, or body image—only to never actually put the information into practice? In this episode, we explore the difference between consuming information and creating real change. While learning can inspire us, lasting transformation comes from taking action and consistently practicing what we learn. I discuss why so many of us stay stuck in "learning mode," how fear, discomfort, and perfectionism can keep us from acting, and what it really takes to reduce cravings, manage emotional eating, and improve body image from a non-diet perspective. You'll walk away with practical strategies to help you move from collecting information to implementing it, because change doesn't happen when you know more—it happens when you do more.Join my Nourished Mind + Body Community here!Become a sponsor of the Lose Your Cravings Podcast here!patreon.com/loseyourcravingsGet my FREE Guide: Break Free From Nighttime Eating

Most of the conversation about the future of work is aimed squarely at the corporate sector—growth engines, dual transformation, quarterly targets. But what if your organization exists to regulate, administer, and serve the public? What if the purpose isn't changing, and innovation of the underlying mission isn't really on the table? In this mini episode, Rodney and Sam respond to an internal consultant at a large federal agency who's wondering how much of the podcast's advice actually translates to their world.

Send us Fan MailWhat if everything you've been told about change, motivation, and stress is missing the most important piece — your brain?This week I'm joined by Lisa Riegel, educator by training, strategist by practice, and someone who has dedicated her career to translating brain science into language and tools that actually help people feel more self-aware, regulated, and in control. Lisa is the creator of the NeuroWell Framework and the Aspirations to Operations Commitment Framework, and whether she's working with Fortune 500 leaders, school systems, or individuals navigating their own lives, her message is the same: real change starts in the brain.In this conversation we cover so much ground, and I think you're going to find it as accessible and practical as I did. We talk about:Why 80% of the thinking happening in your brain right now is unconscious — and what that means for your behavior, your reactions, and your relationshipsMeet Bob and Harold — Lisa's brilliant, accessible way of explaining how your amygdala and thalamus work together to filter reality and trigger your stress responseThe four states of wakefulness (calm, alert, alarm, fear) and exactly what happens neurologically when you burn outWhy change is so hard — and why most change initiatives, in organizations and in our personal lives, fail before they even beginThe difference between outcome goals and action goals, and why that distinction is everythingWhy we don't know what our body feels like when we're happy — and a simple morning practice to start changing thatThe power of identifying not just what stresses you out, but why — and how uncovering the underlying fear gives you genuine self-controlWhy celebration is the most underused and misunderstood tool in leadership, parenting, and self-developmentHow to create your own resilient inner bubble in a world that feels increasingly out of controlLisa brings so much warmth and wisdom to this conversation, and her ability to take complex brain science and make it feel immediately usable is truly a gift.

What happens when you combine positive qualities on purpose? In this episode, I explore the idea of stacking positive qualities for a synergistic effect and how certain pairings can support more meaningful and sustainable change. Rather than relying on willpower or rigid habit hacks, I'm sharing a more flexible and compassionate approach to working with difficult habits and patterns.         I walk through different combinations of positive qualities and how they can help with struggles like overwhelm, procrastination, people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, and going after big goals. You'll see how certain qualities can work together in ways that create more support, perspective, and momentum when change feels difficult.           You'll be encouraged to think about which positive qualities already come naturally to you and how you might intentionally combine them to support a habit or challenge in your own life. By experimenting with different pairings, you may discover new ways to approach change that feel far more supportive and effective than simply trying harder.                      Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/225           Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

SHOW NOTES DESCRIPTION: You have tried harder. You have read the books, made the commitments, restarted the plan, and believed — genuinely believed — that this time would be different. And yet, five years later, you are looking at the same patterns, the same walls, the same version of yourself you were trying to leave behind. The failure is not a motivation problem. It is not a willpower problem. It is something deeper, something that the self-help industry cannot name because naming it would dismantle the entire enterprise. Dr. Henry Cloud joins me for his third conversation on Win Today, and what he brings to the table this time is a confrontation with one of the most quietly destructive lies inside Christian growth culture: that knowledge is enough, that effort is enough, that the right tips applied with sufficient sincerity will eventually produce the life you want. Cloud dismantles that lie at the root. He explains why strength always begins in weakness, why your limitations are not obstacles to your growth but the very doorway through it, and why the passage everyone quotes — "the truth shall set you free" — has been systematically separated from the condition that precedes it. We also go deep into the relational patterns that quietly destroy families, churches, and teams: the victim-rescuer-persecutor triangle and how triangulation turns ordinary conflict into a cycle of division no one can escape from the inside. And Cloud offers one of the sharpest cultural diagnoses I have heard in years — on what the word "triggered" has come to mean and why its inflation is itself a sign of something unhealed. If you have been doing the work but not getting anywhere, this conversation will name what is actually going on underneath the surface. But it will not let you stay comfortable in the naming. Something is required of you: not more effort, but a different kind of openness — the kind that begins with admitting you cannot do this alone. Guest Bio Dr. Henry Cloud is a clinical psychologist, leadership consultant, and New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author whose books have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. His work integrates psychological science and biblical wisdom to address the deepest patterns that keep people and organizations from genuine growth. He consults with CEOs, Fortune 500 companies, and high-net-worth family offices, and he is the founder of drcloud.com, which hosts his personal growth platform.

This episode of the show is about America, ultimately. We're joined by Cristina Jimínez, author of the memoir Dreaming of Home: How We Turn Fear into Pride, Power, and Real Change and MacArthur genius grant recipient for a discussion of mental health in the immigrant and undocumented immigrant communities in light of events like the ICE surge, 9/11, and January 6th. Cristina fled Ecuador with her family when she was 13, landed in Queens, and, despite a lot of complicating factors having to do with legal status, went to college and graduate school. She was one of the founders of the advocacy group United We Dream, was a key player in the passage of DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and was awarded a MacArthur genius grant. Cristina talks about the anxiety and depression that hangs heavily in vulnerable populations and also why she's actually incredibly optimistic and hopeful, even in these seemingly bleak times, because of how citizens responded to ICE in Minnesota.

Send us Fan Mail Most of us have tried to think our way out of patterns we have been carrying for years. Journaling, talking it out, reading the next book. Sometimes it helps. Sometimes the understanding lands in our mind and the pattern still does not move. This episode is for anyone sitting with that quiet frustration. Yusuf sits down with clinical hypnotherapist Deron Singh to unpack what hypnosis actually is, why the subconscious mind drives so much of what we call "stuck," and how a calmer, slower state can give us real control over the loops running in the background. Honest, grounded, and free of the stage-show clichés. About the Guest: Deron Singh is a clinical hypnotherapist, Rapid Transformational Therapy practitioner, and certified life coach. He is the founder of Truthful Soul Hypnosis and works with people on anxiety, low confidence, self-doubt, trauma, and the subconscious patterns underneath them. Key Takeaways: Hypnosis does not take control away from you, it gives you more control over the automatic programs already running in your subconscious mind. The conscious mind cannot solve a problem that originated in the subconscious. Talking about a problem repeatedly can actually feed it rather than release it. Affirmations alone often fail because the conscious mind says one thing while the subconscious holds a contradicting belief, creating inner conflict rather than change. Real subconscious change happens when the body and mind slow down enough to feel safe. Surrender, not force, opens the door. You do not need to understand exactly how hypnotherapy works for it to work. Belief is not a prerequisite. Willingness is. Lasting change often comes through someone else's help. Reaching out is not weakness, it is part of the path.

In Part 1 of this series, we explored why insight alone isn't enough to create real change in gay men's lives — even for those who are highly self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and deeply reflective. So what actually does work? In Part 2, Ken Howard, LCSW, CST, moves beyond theory and into real-world application. This episode focuses on the practical side of personal growth: how to translate insight into concrete, repeatable behaviors that lead to meaningful change. Instead of trying to "fix everything," Ken introduces a more realistic and effective approach — replacing old patterns with small, intentional actions that build over time. This episode explores: Why change requires replacement, not just awareness How to interrupt emotional and behavioral loops in real time The role of structure, delay, and intentional choice in breaking compulsive patterns Why "partial wins" matter more than perfection How to reduce isolation through small, manageable social actions The difference between motivation and movement How self-respect is built through behavior, not just mindset Ken also walks through specific, real-life examples of how to replace common patterns, including: compulsive app use → meaningful connection urgency and impulsivity → structure and delay emotional numbing → purposeful action self-criticism → self-respect through follow-through isolation → low-pressure social engagement If you've ever felt like you know what's going on in your life — but still struggle to change it — this episode offers a clear and grounded path forward. Because at a certain point, growth isn't about understanding more. It's about living differently.

Tonya Comer's story is one of rising—with grace, grit, and purpose.From the projects of Pittsburgh, Tonya climbed into broadcast journalism, corporate America, and ultimately, entrepreneurship. She built an award-winning interior design firm and was named one of the Top 20 African American Interior Designers in the United States.Behind the accolades and ambition was a woman shackled by shame and self-doubt. Her own self-sabotage led her to rock bottom. And it was there she found the path to transformation. Through years of inner work to heal the wounds of abuse, bullying, poverty, and abandonment, she developed life tools that rebuilt her from the inside out—tools she now shares with women everywhere.Tonya Comer is on a mission to ignite a Global Love Revolution—by guiding high-achieving women home to themselves. She believes that when a woman heals from shame and self-doubt and rises into wholeness and self-love, everything around her transforms. Her life becomes an extension of her truth.

Choose Courage, Build Community, and Take Action to Create Change…  ICYMI: JVN sits down with Cristina Jiménez Moreta to talk about her new book Dreaming of Home: How We Turn Fear Into Pride, Power, and Real Change and the work being done at United We Dream, the country's largest youth-led immigrant organization – which Cristina co-founded. Plus our breakdown of the Tony awards and our HBOTW! Cristina Jiménez Moreta is an award-winning community organizer, political strategist, prominent advocate for social justice, and author. She is the Co-Founder and former Executive Director of United We Dream (UWD), the nation's largest immigrant youth-led organization. Cristina immigrated to the U.S. from Ecuador with her family in 1998, seeking a better life. She grew up undocumented in Queens, New York, and has since become a powerful voice in the fight for immigrant rights and equity. Cristina is currently a Distinguished Lecturer at the City College of New York's Colin Powell School, where she also co-teaches Leadership for Democracy and Social Justice (LDSJ). Under her leadership, UWD grew into a formidable network of over one million members, shifting the national conversation around immigration and helping secure policy changes at both the local and national levels. Cristina played a pivotal role in United We Dream's successful campaign that led to the implementation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) under President Obama.
