Attachment theory is everywhere right now — anxious, avoidant, fearful, secure — but after infidelity, simply understanding your attachment style doesn't stop the emotional whiplash. In this powerful episode, Lora Cheadle is joined by Bryan Power, a Certified Integrated Attachment Theory Coach, for an honest, grounded conversation about how attachment wounds actually show up after betrayal — and what it really takes to heal them. Together, they break down the four attachment styles, explore why betrayal hits attachment at its core, and walk through the six pillars of Integrated Attachment Theory — practical tools that move you from survival and confusion into clarity, safety, and secure connection. This episode goes beyond theory. You'll learn why insight alone doesn't regulate the nervous system, how subconscious wounds drive behavior, and what helps betrayed partners stop feeling “crazy” when triggers hit — without excusing betrayal or bypassing accountability. If you've ever thought, “I know what's happening — so why does it still hurt this much?” — this episode is for you.   Top 3 Takeaways Knowing your attachment style doesn't equal healing You can name your pattern perfectly and still panic when your partner withdraws. Healing happens through felt safety, not logic alone. Betrayal exposes unhealed attachment wounds — in both partners Infidelity doesn't come from nowhere. It often reveals deep subconscious beliefs around safety, abandonment, worth, and betrayal that were never healed. Secure attachment is built — not born Through the six pillars of Integrated Attachment Theory — core wounds, needs, emotions, boundaries, communication, and behavior — couples can move toward safety, clarity, and conscious connection.   Favorite Quote “Attachment wounds don't heal through understanding. They heal through safety — again and again — in real time.” About Bryan In 2024 Bryan Power and his wife would go from having a pretty good relationship to a complete relationship failure.

During that breakup time, Bryan would discover the Integrated Attachment Theory Program that would ultimately provide him with the insights and tools necessary to put their relationship back together. Now Bryan uses his inspirational story, personal insights and the integrated attachment theory program to teach others how to use their breakup the get the breakthroughs they have been looking for.  Resources & Links https://www.myrelationshipfail.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryanwpower/ https://www.youtube.com/@myrelationshipfail https://www.instagram.com/myrelationshipfail/   About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

In this episode of Taking It Back, Zak Paine, Frankie Val, and Adel Nero break down a rapidly shifting global and domestic landscape as cracks begin to show in long-standing power structures. The conversation centers on the changing tone at Davos, open admissions from global elites, and the growing acknowledgment that globalism is losing its grip. The hosts examine the ripple effects of America prioritizing its own interests, the collapse of international credibility, and the decentralization of power back to sovereign nations. They also dive into election integrity, judicial obstruction, legislative gridlock, and the growing tension between accountability and entrenched institutions. From trade, tariffs, and economic leverage to courts, corruption, and the limits of political reform, this episode explores what real course correction looks like and why the current moment feels fundamentally different. Beneath it all is a central question: what happens when the old system can no longer sustain itself — and the pressure to change becomes unavoidable?

Many business owners believe staying busy in the day-to-day is the best way to grow their company. But when all your time is spent working in the business, strategic thinking and renewal are often the first things to disappear, quietly limiting long-term growth and value.In this episode, Matt Di Francesco breaks down the three types of time every owner must intentionally manage: tactical time, strategic time, and renewal time. Through personal experiences and real-world success stories, Matt shows how creating space for renewal allows leaders to think bigger, innovate, and build a business that works without depending on them every day.Matt also talks about:(01:04) Why most owners spend too much time putting out fires(03:37) How stepping away helps your mind solve business problems(04:44) Why bigger businesses need more time to reset and think(06:44) How taking a break helps you think bigger and grow faster(08:25) Why a business that runs without you means real ownershipConnect With Matt DiFrancesco:matt@highliftfin.com(814)201-5855LinkedIn: Matt DiFrancescoLinkedIn: High Lift FinancialFacebook: High Lift Financial Instagram: @high_lift_financialYouTube: @highliftfinancialDisclaimer:All information is obtained from sources deemed reliable, but not guaranteed.

What does it take to rise after life tells you “you can't”? In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, we sit down with Grace Moore—Financial Empowerment Specialist, Founder, Speaker, and 2025 Movement Is Life Health Summit Speaker—whose journey is a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative force of mindset. At just 17, Grace was told she would never walk again. After waking from a nap with her left leg paralyzed, she faced a defining crossroads: accept limitation or choose possibility. She chose movement—of the body, the mind, and the spirit. Today, Grace speaks from the lens of the patient, sharing what it looks like to keep moving forward while living with daily pain. Her message is simple but profound: we can choose to be “up and able” rather than “down and defeated.” Grace also brings her expertise in financial wellness to the conversation, highlighting how financial empowerment—especially for seniors—directly connects to health equity, stability, and community well‑being. She breaks down the barriers people face, the myths that hold them back, and the power of language to either uplift or limit our lives. In this episode, Grace opens up about: • Her journey from paralysis to purpose • How mindset can shift the trajectory of your life • Why financial empowerment is a health equity issue • The importance of speaking life into yourself and others • Her upcoming journal, Graceful Movement, and how it helps readers embrace pain with compassion and courage Grace's story is a reminder that movement isn't just physical—it's emotional, mental, and deeply personal. Her voice is one of hope, empowerment, and unwavering belief in what's possible. Never miss an episode—subscribe to The Health Disparities Podcast on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you listen.

Today's episode is a rerun of one of the most important conversations I've ever shared on the podcast, all about vitamin D. As the podcast library grows, some truly foundational episodes can get buried, and this is information that's simply too important to lose. This is part one of a two-part series, and if you've never listened (or even if you have), it's well worth revisiting. Is your vitamin D "deficiency" actually a misdiagnosis? In this eye-opening episode, Tara dives into one of the most misunderstood nutrients in functional medicine: vitamin D. While most practitioners rush to prescribe high doses of vitamin D based on a single lab marker (25(OH)D), Tara challenges the status quo and breaks down why this approach can be both misleading and harmful, especially for women in perimenopause.  She explains the critical difference between 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)₂D, why elevated active vitamin D (1,25) often goes unnoticed, and how it can actually suppress your vitamin D storage while driving up inflammation, calcium loss, and even contributing to autoimmune conditions and bone loss. This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt confused about whether to supplement or if you've been taking vitamin D long-term without fully understanding how it works in your body. In this episode we cover: The difference between storage vs. active vitamin D (and why you must always test both but your practitioner likely hasn't) The issues with vitamin D testing that scientists are hotly debating (can you even trust your lab result?) What is the optimal reference range for vitamin D? And why ranges are terribly inflated and many are not to be trusted. What really drives down vitamin D in the body and how to come at this from a root-cause perspective instead of drowning yourself in vitamin D supplements If you're thinking about taking D, already taking D, or have been told your vitamin D is "low" (it likely isn't) then this one is for you.   Mentioned in this episode:

Most people aren't failing at life — they're living inside beliefs that were never theirs.In this deeply personal and emotionally charged conversation, Kellan Fluckiger sits down with Dr. Dorothy Martin-Neville to uncover how success, safety, and “doing it right” slowly disconnect us from who we really are. From childhood conditioning to spiritual identity, from survival to sovereignty, this episode exposes the invisible stories that keep people stuck — and the inner knowing that can set them free.This is not about fixing yourself. It's about remembering who you already are.Key TakeawaysWhy people lose themselves chasing successThe danger of “playing it safe”Childhood conditioning and loss of inner knowingTrusting intuition versus external authoritySovereignty, identity, and self-betrayalSpirituality beyond religionEmotional intelligence and mindfulnessTransformation versus survivalWhy not everyone is ready to healThe future of coaching in the age of AI

Brad Stulberg is a bestselling author, executive coach, and one of my favorite thinkers on sustainable high performance. This conversation explores the dualities in personal development, discipline and self-compassion, striving and surrender, intensity and joy. We discuss the "humble badass" archetype, building resilient identities, why curiosity is the skeleton key, and excellence as an antidote to alienation. Along the way, Brad gets vulnerable about the childhood wounds that still drive his ambition—and I share my own. Amidst the chaos of self-help, Brad remains a principled voice of reason. Enjoy!

Have you ever felt lonely in a house full of people? Like you're doing everything… carrying the mental load, keeping the peace, making it "easy" for everyone else—while quietly abandoning yourself?

Imagine no longer feeling like you're raising another child in your marriage. Imagine being known—for who you really are.

Chronic stress and burnout are often worn as a badge of honor, yet they can be powerful accelerators of biological aging. In this conversation, wellness entrepreneur and educator Erica Jones explains how persistent stress can disrupt sleep, increase inflammation, and influence mitochondrial function, hormones, and even gene expression through epigenetic pathways. Together, with the host, Dr. Gillian Lockitch, we focus on sustainable strategies that busy, high-capacity people can actually maintain - starting with the "unsexy basics" of hydration and sleep, plus boundaries that protect your nervous system. You'll also leave with one simple "try this today" reset to restore perspective when you feel overwhelmed. Erica Jones is a wellness entrepreneur and educator and the co-founder of Elevays, where she helps high performers build sustainable routines that support energy, focus, and longevity without burnout. With a background in biology and an early career in pharmaceutical sales, Erica transitioned into a root-cause approach to health through functional and holistic wellness. She has guided thousands of entrepreneurs, CEOs, and coaches toward greater clarity, balance, and resilience through practical, real-life strategies.   Episode Timeline  00:00 – Opening teaser: stress and biological aging.

One minute you're steady. Clear. Even hopeful. And the next minute you hear their name… see a movie scene… hit an anniversary… and you're right back on the floor wondering, What is wrong with me? Nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, I break down the real reason betrayal feels like an emotional rollercoaster—and why those swings don't mean you're failing. You'll learn the difference between knowledge (understanding what happened) and integration (your nervous system actually living from safety again), why relief can feel like healing (even when it isn't), and what it truly takes to calm the spirals for good—so you can stop questioning your progress and start rebuilding steady self-trust.   Top 3 Takeaways Feeling better isn't the same as being healed. Insight can bring real relief—but relief can masquerade as completion. That “aha” moment is knowledge… not integration. Triggers don't mean you're back at square one. Hearing the affair partner's name, seeing a text, watching a movie scene—those reactions aren't proof you're broken. They're proof your body is still learning safety. Integration is where healing actually happens. Healing lives in your moment-to-moment responses: how you regulate, what you say, what you choose, and how you show up when your system is activated. Who This Episode Is For Women who feel steady one day and wrecked the next, and don't understand why Listeners who've read the books, binged the podcasts, gone to therapy… and still feel “better only sometimes” Anyone who keeps thinking, “Why am I still triggered?” and wants a grounded explanation that doesn't pathologize them Favorite Quote “Calm is not the same as change. Knowledge lives in the mind—integration lives in the body.”   About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

Betrayal doesn't just hurt ... it changes how a man thinks. When trust is broken by someone you let close, the damage isn't limited to the relationship. It gets into your head. It shapes your expectations. It rewires how you read people, situations, and even yourself. In this final episode of the betrayal series, we talk about what happens after the initial pain, when betrayal quietly turns into thought loops, hyper-vigilance, self-blame, and isolation. Not because you're weak, but because your nervous system learned to protect you. This episode is not about reliving the betrayal. It's about reclaiming your agency. You'll learn why men often get stuck replaying the moment, how self-criticism activates the brain's threat system, and why isolation can feel like strength even when it slowly becomes a prison. In simple, practical language, we unpack what neuroscience shows about how the brain responds to betrayal — and how you can interrupt those patterns in real time. We also explore the difference between armor and discernment, using a powerful cultural reference that many men instantly recognize: betrayal doesn't mean you were foolish, it means you were open. The work now isn't to shut down forever, but to move forward with wisdom instead of walls. You'll be guided through: Why betrayal triggers mental and emotional loops in men How to regulate your body and mind when old fear resurfaces How to reconnect safely without overexposing yourself How to rebuild trust by trusting yourself first How faith offers steadiness when people fail Most importantly, this episode ends with a reminder every man needs to hear: Nothing about this makes you broken. These layers helped you survive, but they are not who you are. This conversation is for the man who wants to feel lighter in his chest, clearer in his thinking, and confident that his future does not have to be defined by the worst thing someone else did.

In this episode of Overcoming Distractions, Dave welcomes mindset coach and former therapist Cindi Frechette to discuss a non-traditional approach to thriving with ADHD. Moving beyond surface-level productivity hacks like to-do lists and timers…, Cindi introduces the Unknow Method, a framework designed for high achievers to manage mental chaos and mitigate burnout. Cindi shares her "lived experience" with ADHD, offering a unique perspective on how internal narratives drive behavior. Together, they explore how busy professionals can stop "performing" and start living authentically by aligning their daily actions with their deepest values. Key Discussion Topics: The Unknow Method: A three-step framework consisting of Unravel (identifying automated thoughts), Rebuild (strengthening self-identity), and Reclaim (mastering time and energy). The "Thought Dump" Exercise: A practical tool to separate objective facts from ruminating opinions. The Neuroscience of Overthinking: Understanding how the ADHD brain interprets survival signals and conserves energy. Value-Based Decision Making: Why re-evaluating your personal values every 3–6 months is essential for long-term alignment. Masking and Burnout: How "performing success" leads to internal exhaustion and how to reverse-engineer your feelings to change your actions. Freebie to offer: "You can grab Cindi's free Thought Reset Tool at https://stan.store/Unknowwithcindi .

Episode Summary: Today we’re tackling a topic that hits many people hard each January: “Blue Monday.” You may have heard it called “the most depressing day of the year”: a day when motivation runs low, bills come due, and the sparkle of the holidays fades into the grayness of winter. But is “Blue Monday” real? Why do so many people feel down this time of year? And what can you do, spiritually, emotionally, and physically, to climb out of the slump and find renewed hope? If you’ve ever felt like the light of Christmas faded too fast or that you’re struggling to find joy in January, this episode is for you. In this episode, I share How to Beat the Blues: Finding Hope When “Blue Monday” Hits. We unpack where the idea of “Blue Monday” came from, what really contributes to winter sadness, how to recognize when it’s more than just a passing mood, and how God invites us to nurture our mind and soul even in the darkest season. Quotables from the episode: Every January, the search engines light up with people looking for answers about “Blue Monday.” Some call it the most depressing day of the year. But here’s the truth: God doesn’t mark any day on His calendar as hopeless. Even when science can explain some of the factors that make us feel low, Scripture reminds us in John 1:5 that “the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” So today, let’s uncover both the science and the Savior’s invitation to find peace, joy, and renewed perspective, no matter what your calendar says. Part 1: Where “Blue Monday” Came From The term “Blue Monday” actually originated not from a psychologist or neuroscientist, but from a marketing campaign in the early 2000s. A British travel company wanted to boost winter vacation sales and partnered with a psychologist to create a formula that supposedly calculated the “most depressing day of the year.” They based it on factors like weather, debt level, time since Christmas, failed New Year’s resolutions, and low motivation. The date usually lands on the third Monday in January. But here’s what’s interesting: the science behind it was never validated. It was largely pseudoscience; a catchy idea meant to sell trips to sunny places! Yet it resonated with people because, truthfully, many do feel a dip in mood this time of year. Why? There’s a real physiological and psychological basis for that. Shorter daylight hours disrupt our circadian rhythm and lower serotonin levels—our brain’s natural mood stabilizer. Colder temperatures mean less outdoor activity and fewer endorphins. Holiday aftermath leaves us financially stretched and emotionally fatigued. Unmet resolutions of ourselves or others stir up shame or disappointment. So while “Blue Monday” may not be an official scientific day, it does point to something many experience: what we might call the post-holiday blues or seasonal affective slump. Part 2: How to Identify It Let’s talk about how you can tell if what you’re feeling is just a short-term dip or something more concerning. Here are some common symptoms of the “Blue Monday” slump: Low motivation or energy Irritability or tearfulness Difficulty concentrating Changes in sleep or appetite Feeling disconnected or unproductive Hopeless thoughts like “What’s the point?” If you’ve noticed these for a few days after the holidays, you’re not alone. Our brains and bodies crave rhythm and light—and winter often disrupts both. But sometimes, what starts as a temporary funk can evolve into something more serious like Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or Major Depression. Part 3: When to Seek Professional Help Seek professional help if: Your sadness lasts more than two weeks. You lose interest in things you usually enjoy. Your sleep or appetite drastically change. You feel worthless, helpless, or hopeless. You find yourself withdrawing from others. You experience thoughts of death or suicide. Those are not signs of weakness—they’re signals from your body and brain that you need care and support. Just as you’d seek medical help for persistent pain, it’s wise to seek mental health help for persistent sadness. As a neuropsychologist, I’ve seen firsthand that depression and anxiety are treatable. There are excellent therapies, medical interventions, and lifestyle approaches that can help. But the first step is reaching out. And as a believer, I want you to know this: needing help does not make you a failure of faith. God often works through professionals to bring healing. He created our minds and bodies with complexity, and He delights when we care for them wisely. Remember Elijah in 1 Kings 19? He was exhausted, afraid, and said, “It is enough; now, Lord, take my life.” God didn’t rebuke him. God fed him, let him rest, and then gently spoke truth to him. That’s a model of divine compassion toward our emotional distress. Part 4: How to Take Care of Yourself If you’re feeling those “Blue Monday” blues—or a longer winter sadness—here are practical, biblically grounded ways to care for your mind, body, and spirit. 1. Get More Light Exposure to sunlight—or a light therapy box—can boost serotonin and regulate your circadian rhythm. Genesis 1:3 says, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” Light was His first gift to creation, and it still brings life today. 2. Move Your Body Exercise increases endorphins and dopamine, improving both energy and outlook. You don’t need to run a marathon—start with a short walk or stretch. 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 reminds us our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Caring for them is an act of worship. 3. Nurture Connection When we isolate, sadness grows louder. Reach out to a friend, attend a Bible study, or volunteer. Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 says, “Two are better than one… if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. 4. Adjust Your Expectations After the holidays, it’s easy to compare today’s ordinary moments to the excitement of December. Give yourself permission to slow down, to reset. The Bible gives us multiple examples of Jesus, the Son of God, taking time to rest. If He needed rest, why would we expect differently of ourselves? Matthew 11:28—“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”* 5. Feed Your Spirit Immerse yourself in Scripture, prayer, and worship music. Depression dims perspective, but God’s Word renews it. Psalm 42:11 “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him.” 6. Practice Gratitude Gratitude activates brain regions associated with joy and resilience. Even small blessings count—warm coffee, a friend’s text, a sunset. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 7. Set Rhythms of Rest Winter is nature’s reminder to rest. God Himself modeled rest on the seventh day—not from exhaustion, but completion. Rest refuels your mind and aligns your soul with His peace. Part 5: Reframing the Season Maybe this January feels heavy. Maybe you’re tired of gray skies or unmet resolutions. But let’s reframe it: What if winter isn’t a punishment, but an invitation? An invitation to slow down. To nurture your inner life. To rediscover hope not in circumstances, but in Christ Himself. Remember: no day is truly “blue” when it’s covered by God’s grace. He specializes in turning mourning into dancing, ashes into beauty, and despair into praise (Isaiah 61:3). The same God who paints the sunrise after the darkest night will bring light to your soul again. Friend, if you’re listening today and feeling the weight of winter, know this: you are not alone. God sees you. He is not disappointed by your sadness; He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). There’s no shame in reaching for help—from Him, from loved ones, or from professionals. Healing doesn’t mean pretending everything is fine; it means letting God meet you in the reality of your pain. Scripture References: John 1:5 “the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” 1 Kings 19 “It is enough; now, Lord, take my life.” Genesis 1:3 says, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” Ecclesiastes 4:9–10, “Two are better than one… if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” Matthew 11:28 “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Psalm 42:11 “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 61:3 “and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Chris Anderson was inspired by the growth of TED once they expanded from being simply a conference company to adding the concept of offering their talks free to the world over the internet.   He's now calling on us all to "reclaim the internet" and use it as a force for spreading less hate and division and more kindness and generosity.  His new book, Infectious Generosity, lays out clearly the reasons why generosity is good for the world — as well as for us as individuals — then details a plan by which this movement can spread virally.  Chris's views on these subjects are aligned perfectly with the work of The Optimism institute and he shares them with great enthusiasm in this uplifting and inspiring episode of Blue Sky.    Chapters:  00:00 Welcome Chris Anderson to Blue Sky  Bill Burke welcomes Chris Anderson, head of TED, to the Blue Sky Podcast. Chris discusses his new book, "Infectious Generosity," and his mission to use the internet as a force for good, combating online division.  02:14 TED's Impact and TEDx's Success  Chris shares how TED made its videos freely available online, which surprisingly enhanced the conference rather than hurting it. He explains the success of TEDx, a free licensing model that enabled 65,000 volunteers to create events globally, generating billions of views.  06:00 The Internet's Downfall and Human Nature  Chris discusses how the internet, especially social media, went astray, preying on our 'lizard brains' and promoting outrage.   11:47 Generosity and Happiness  Chris explains the deep connection between generosity and happiness, citing a Chinese proverb that highlights helping others as a path to lifelong joy. He emphasizes that while the internet can be negative, it also offers a powerful tool for spreading positive change.  15:57 Reclaiming the Internet: Tactics  Chris discusses tactics for reclaiming the internet, focusing on making 'good stuff' go viral by evoking authentic human emotion. He uses the example of 'The Kindness Pandemic' Facebook group and highlights the need for creativity and courage to break through online negativity.  21:09 Our Role in Shaping Social Media  Chris emphasizes that users are not helpless in shaping their social media experience, stressing the importance of conscious choices in who to follow and what content to engage with.   27:47 The Uniqueness of Our Time and Generosity Strategy  Chris highlights the unique historical moment that allows for widespread generosity due to frictionless digital sharing and its reputation-building power.   33:06 Embracing Imperfect Generosity and Gratitude Chris encourages letting go of the idea of 'perfect generosity,' urging celebration of all motivations behind giving, even those with mixed intentions.   39:25 Podcast Recommendation and Host Reflections  Bill Burke recommends 'Two Lives,' a character-driven narrative podcast about overcoming darkness, which has received several awards.  42:21 Neuroplasticity, Optimism, and AI for Good  Chris discusses neuroplasticity and how our narratives shape us, emphasizing that kindness, like a muscle, grows with exercise. He introduces the Infectious Generosity Guru (TIG), an AI tool designed to help individuals brainstorm ways to spread generosity online.  49:15 A Vision for a Better Future  Chris outlines his continued work with TED, focusing on the Audacious Project to collaboratively fund large-scale change initiatives. He emphasizes that optimism is a stance—a determined effort to find and illuminate pathways to a better future, urging collective action to reclaim the internet and inspire change. 

Heavy periods are one of the most common, and most disruptive symptoms women experience as they move through perimenopause. Flooding, clots, changing tampons constantly, disrupted sleep, rising anxiety… these changes often show up together, and they're not random. In this episode, Tara breaks down what's actually happening hormonally in midlife and why low progesterone is so often at the root of heavy periods. She explains the critical differences between natural bioidentical progesterone and synthetic progestins, and why progestins (like those found in birth control or IUDs) are not the solution many women are led to believe they are. In this episode: Why heavy periods are often a progesterone problem in perimenopause Why natural bioidentical progesterone is the solution - not herbs, not wild yam cream, not "wait and see" Why progestins (birth control, Mirena, Slynd, etc.) are not the same thing and can actually make symptoms worse Why many doctors underdose progesterone (or pull it away too quickly) because they aren't trained in HRT How adequate progesterone can lighten periods, improve sleep, reduce anxiety, calm the nervous system, and protect your brain, bones, breasts, and heart IF YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, LISTEN TO THESE NEXT: EPS 99: Everything you need to know about progesterone & replacing it, with Carol Petersen EPS 113: Welcoming back Carol Petersen, RPh, CNP! She's answering all your progesterone questions!  EPS 127: Are you taking a fake, potentially harmful progestin (fake progesterone?). Find out in this episode & what to do instead.  Mentioned in this episode: HRT Made Simple™ - Learn how to confidently speak to your doctor about the benefits of hormone replacement therapy so you can set yourself up for symptom-free, unmedicated years to come without feeling confused, dismissed, or leaving the medical office minus your HRT script. Hair Loss Solutions Made Simple™ – This course will teach you the best natural, highly effective, and safe solutions for your hair loss so you can stop it, reverse it, and regrow healthy hair without turning to medications. The Perimenopause Solution™ – My signature 6-month comprehensive hormonal health program for women in midlife who want to get solid answers to their hormonal health issues once and for all so they can kick the weight gain, moodiness, gut problems, skin issues, period problems, fatigue, overwhelm, insomnia, hair/eyebrow loss, and other symptoms in order to get back to the woman they once were.

JB White opens the January 14 episode from Northeast Florida with reflections on community, culture, and the return to what he calls American normalcy. While touching briefly on Jaguars playoff disappointment and sports media narratives, the episode quickly expands into a broader cultural discussion sparked by public reactions to a Jacksonville reporter's post-game comments and what they reveal about shifting social norms. JB connects these moments to deeper themes of identity, patriotism, and cultural hijacking, weaving in historical reflections on the civil rights movement through music by Sweet Honey in the Rock and the legacy of Harry T. Moore. The show explores how language, culture, and faith have been manipulated over decades, arguing that modern political movements have inverted their original purpose. Throughout the episode, JB emphasizes community cohesion, American identity over factionalism, and the importance of discernment in an era of manufactured division, closing with reflections on faith, history, and responsibility as the nation moves forward.

State Representative James Talarico of Texas might have been our most requested guest last year. And he seemed to come out of nowhere.Talarico started breaking through with viral videos on TikTok and Instagram. And in those videos, he didn't sound like your typical Democrat. He's forthrightly Christian, quoting Scripture to defend progressive positions and challenging Christian nationalism on Christian grounds. And he is now running for Senate in Texas — in a primary field that includes U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett — in what will be one of the most important Senate races this year.So I wanted to have Talarico on the show to talk about his faith, his politics and the way those two have come together in this attentional moment. Because he's clearly saying things that people are hungry to hear.Mentioned:The Sabbath by Rabbi Heschel“#2352 James Talarico”, The Joe Rogan ExperienceCommon Sense by Thomas PaineBook Recommendations:Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtryJesus and the Disinherited by Howard ThurmanThe Upswing by Robert D.

In this laugh-out-loud (and oh-so-needed) conversation, Wendy Valentine sits down with pelvic floor + perimenopause educator Jana Danielson to talk about what's really going on “down there” in midlife—leaks when you sneeze, painful intimacy, constipation, tight hips, anxiety, and that constant feeling that your body is changing without your permission.   Jana breaks down pelvic floor basics in a way that finally makes sense, busts the biggest myth about “core strength,” explains why Kegels often backfire, and shares simple, practical tools (including her Cooch Ball + breathwork) to help you feel more confident, comfortable, and connected to your body again.   What you'll learn The most common signs of a too-tight vs. too-weak pelvic floor (and why most women are tighter than they think) Why Kegels can make things worse—and what to do instead to restore real function How breathing (diaphragm + pelvic floor) impacts leaks, urgency, and even stress/anxiety The surprising connection between pelvic floor health and constipation, hip/back pain, posture, and circulation A simple daily approach (yes, minutes!) to support pelvic floor strength, relaxation, and pleasure/confidence in perimenopause and menopause

Send us a textIn times of deep transitions when unspeakable pain and darkness flood the thoughts, when you feel like you are walking through the swale on shards, when every tear is packed with release, we surrender. We have no choice. When we try to resume normal routine momentum, we are running against the rhythm which is relentless in its power to hold us down. Therefore when you are found in this seemingly merciless juncture, do not fight it. Surrender. Let it be. Hold yourself closely and breathe. The depth of the swale always equals the depth of purpose- this profound journey assigned to you and only you. Amid the inner turmoil, there lies a silence, you feel the shift. A seismic change in the texture of your reality.  The invisible war goes visible, not to anyone else, but to you - through the inner eyes of the ultimate victory now bound to your survival. Your every spectacular invention, every design, every digital pulse in the background, now reveals a battlefield - a war waging within the vulnerable skin of your own being.everything you conjured through stoic sacrifice and punishing discipline is Manifested  ahead of and beyond the science behind it. What we call Science in the past thousands of eons is deeply flawed. Myopic vision that dissects, segmentises, and isolates - like lifting a heart out if its body, and mechanically energizing it and when it flutters we shout “we have created life”. We unleash nuclear weapons into the atmosphere and actually believe that they have no impact on the "scalar waves" that safeguard all galaxies in the universe. Simply because our knowledge is harnessed to a limited  mindset that is bound by empirical validations. In the miasma of spiritual amnesia we endure the false belief that our vast state of isolation and ignorance is the energy that is propelling the creation. We miss the perfected creation that surrounds that nourishes that fuel both genius and ignorance. We do not consider the intricate weave of creation wherein even its most minuscule pulse vibrates in perfection. You are that perfection. Your soul reflects it unto every breath, thought and measure of your expansive being. Now, in this critical juncture, your soul summons you into reflection. This is not punishment, it is recalibration for the heart. You had long passed the juncture where mind, matter and code seamlessly coalesced. Now, you are being forced by divine grasp to pause. Go within. Explore your inner universe. Reclaim the sanctity that created you, one that resides in benevolence and stoic integrity… one that teaches, nourishes and protects the absolute Consciousness. For you are the indispensable fulcrum and fire of the future. Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Mothermaya@gmail.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

What if the version of you the world applauds… is the one that's quietly breaking you? This episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand is sure to stick with you. Lisa McGuire invites business coach and former agency leader Jake Brown, into a conversation that names something many of us have lived for far too long: The exhaustion of pretending. The fear of being "found out." The cost of crafting a life that looks good, but doesn't feel like you. Jake spent 20+ years building agencies, collecting accolades, and performing success; all while hiding his ADHD, working nights and weekends, and wearing a mask that kept the world clapping... but kept him unseen. After a traumatic brain injury forced a full reset, Jake began asking two game-changing thoughts: "Says who?" "I don't want to." That was the start of everything changing. Now, Jake helps late-diagnosed ADHD founders and creatives build businesses that don't require them to betray themselves. Through his ADHD Tides Framework and Brain Friction Scorecard, he shows people how to work with their wiring — not against it — and finally live without the mask. If you've ever felt like you were too much, not enough, or had to perform to belong… this episode is your invitation to come home to yourself. This Conversation Will Help You: Understand why masking your true self feels so exhausting, and how it shows up in life, leadership, and work Learn how ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence affect focus, energy, and shame Discover why so many high achievers secretly feel stuck or broken (even while they're "crushing it") Use the ADHD Tides Framework to map your natural rhythms and stop pushing through low-tide days Reduce "brain friction" by identifying the hidden ways your executive function is burning out Reclaim your energy by learning the difference between constant and consistent Replace shame with strategy — and isolation with compassion CONNECT WITH JAKE LINKEDIN : https://www.linkedin.com/in/airballoon/ WEBSITE: jakebrown.co Brain Friction Scorecard: jakebrown.co CONNECT WITH LISA LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-mcguire/  WEBSITE: https://lisamcguire.com Beyond the Transaction Mastermind -  Apply to join the group: https://beyondthetransactionmm.com/register Sign up for Lisa's "so much more" newsletter: https://www.thediyframework.com/so-much-more-subscribe  Freedom Reset: Your Next Steps to Realignment  Register: https://go.lisamcguire.com/freedom-reset  Human Design Masterclass Waitlist: https://go.lisamcguire.com/human-design-masterclass-waitlist  Ideal Client Workshop Waitlist: https://go.lisamcguire.com/ideal-client-workshop-waitlist-icww785155  Get your free Human Design Bodygraph: https://lisamcguire.com/get-your-free-chart/
