Core beliefs are the fundamental, deeply held beliefs we develop in early childhood that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. In this eye-opening episode, Lindsey breaks down how eating disorders stem from and reinforce negative core beliefs that can take years to heal from. Learn about the three types of core beliefs that are secretly feeding your disordered eating patterns and discover how to identify and transform these beliefs to break free from the cycle keeping you stuck. Key Takeaways Core beliefs are fundamental truths you've made into idols that need to be challenged Eating disorders stem from and reinforce negative core beliefs developed in childhood There are 3 types of core beliefs: how you see yourself, others, and the world You are becoming someone you've never been before - be patient with that process "You either quit or keep going - they both hurt. Choose your hurt wisely." The 3 Types of Core Beliefs Type 1: How You See Yourself What It Includes: Self-worth and personal value Self-competence, skills, and abilities Self-identity - who you are at your core Beliefs shaped by caretakers, feedback, and criticisms over your lifetime How It Feeds EDs: "I'm not good enough" leads to perfectionism, restriction, and rigidity False identity created by the eating disorder becomes your truth Tying worth and value to performance instead of inherent value How to Change It: Build self-compassion through recovery inspiration Embrace your identity as "daughter of the most high, warrior, queen" Recognize the voice in your head is a false narrative Understand you don't have to earn, restrict, or compensate for nourishment Type 2: How You View Other People What It Includes: Trustworthiness and reliability of others Beliefs about goodwill and kindness in people Prejudices and stereotypes Safety mechanisms developed from rejection or inconsistent caregiving How It Feeds EDs: "If I can just be perfect, I'll have less rejection" Using food and exercise to control how others perceive you "If I gain weight, will my husband/boyfriend still want me?" How to Change It: Stop comparing yourself to other people Understand most people don't actually care about your recovery journey Set boundaries with people who aren't in your corner Accept support from those who truly want what's best for you Type 3: Your Perception of the World What It Includes: Beliefs about safety vs. danger in your environment Abundance vs. scarcity mindset Beliefs about available resources and opportunities Level of control you have over your life and world events How It Feeds EDs: "The world is unsafe, so I must perform to prove my value" Searching for control and stability through food/body management Fear-based restriction during uncertain times How to Change It: Challenge wellness culture and societal body image messages Create personal meaning and purpose beyond the disorder "Stay away from processed bodies rather than processed foods" How Core Beliefs Create ED Cycles The Connection: Core beliefs affect your motivations, goals, life choices, and desires for freedom Negative self-perception breeds perfectionism and restriction Fear of others' judgment results in using food and exercise for control Worldview of unsafety heightens need to prove value through performance Powerful Quotes from This Episode "You are becoming someone you've never met before - and that's what I want you to take with you today." "What other people think of you is not your business." "No one truly cares what you are doing in your recovery outside of those closest to you." "You either quit or you get to keep going, and they both hurt. Choose your hurt wisely." "We have to stop living and breeding a culture where our daughters feel wrong for being in their own body." The Core Belief Transformation Process Step 1: Identification Recognize which of the 3 types of core beliefs are impacting your ED Identify the "fundamental truths" you've made into idols Understand these beliefs reinforce unhealthy coping mechanisms Step 2: Challenge Question beliefs about yourself, others, and the world Recognize many beliefs aren't even yours - they were inherited Challenge wellness culture and societal messages Step 3: Rebuild Build self-compassion and embrace your true identity Set boundaries and stop caring about bystanders' opinions Create meaning and purpose beyond the disorder Warning Signs Your Core Beliefs Are Feeding Your ED Tying your worth to your performance or appearance Believing you must be perfect to avoid rejection Using food/exercise to control how others see you Feeling unsafe in the world and needing control through restriction Believing you're "not good enough" or "unlovable" The Recovery Mindset Shifts From: "I'm not good enough" To: "I am a warrior becoming someone I've never been before" From: "I must be perfect to be loved" To: "I am worthy of love exactly as I am" From: "The world is unsafe" To: "I can create meaning and purpose beyond my fears" Journal Prompts for Core Belief Work "What beliefs about myself are keeping me stuck in ED patterns?" "How much influence am I allowing others to have in my recovery?" "What worldview am I holding that makes me feel unsafe?" "Which core beliefs are reinforcing my unhealthy coping mechanisms?" The Call to Action Be the Change: Challenge societal messages about body image and success Stand up for your truth "Stay away from processed bodies rather than processed foods" Stop creating negative cycles for future generations Signs You're Ready to Transform Core Beliefs You recognize these beliefs are "idols" you've created You're tired of caring what everyone else thinks You want to break generational cycles You're ready to become someone you've never been before You understand recovery requires belief transformation, not just behavior change Ready to Break the Chains of Limiting Core Beliefs?

Today's guest is Dr. Michael Schofield. Mike is a New Zealand sports scientist and track and field coach with a PhD in biomechanics and strength and conditioning. He has coached athletes to Olympic, World Championship, and Commonwealth Games finals in the throws, while also developing national-level sprinters and weightlifters. His strength and conditioning work spans multiple sports, from golf to stand-up paddleboarding. Mike has done substantial research in, and is a subject matter expert in the role of connective tissues in athletic movement and force production. This podcast explores the crucial functions of connective tissue in athletic performance. We examine how tendons, ligaments, and fascia support movement, prevent injuries, and contribute to force production. Mike also disperses exactly what fascia and connective tissue does, and does not do in animal (and human) movement profiles. Through the podcast, Mike reveals the mechanisms of connective tissue and how understanding it can improve training outcomes. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength.

(https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 2:10 – The Role of Connective Tissue 5:27 – Exploring Elasticity in Motion 7:25 – Muscle vs. Fascia: A Complex Debate 16:14 – Understanding Strength and Sequencing 23:49 – The Importance of Movement Literacy 36:13 – Fascial Lines and Their Impact 44:31 – Training the Fascial System 49:14 – Functional Training Insights 54:31 – The Role of Balance in Performance 57:26 – Understanding Tendon Stiffness 1:14:04 – Compliance vs. Stiffness in Athleticism 1:18:55 – Training Strategies for Different Athletes Actionable Takeaways 2:10 – The Role of Connective Tissue Key Idea: Connective tissue is more than just passive support—it plays an active role in how force is transferred and movements are sequenced. Actionable Takeaways: Treat connective tissue as a system that adapts to training, not just something that “holds things together.” Prioritize training methods that build elasticity and responsiveness, not just muscle strength. Recognize that resilience often depends on connective tissue health more than raw muscular output. 5:27 – Exploring Elasticity in Motion Key Idea: Elasticity allows athletes to move with efficiency and rhythm, reducing the need for constant muscular effort. Actionable Takeaways: Integrate bouncing, skipping, and plyometric variations to sharpen elastic return. Train for rhythm and timing, not just force—elastic qualities emerge from how energy is recycled. Monitor whether athletes rely too much on muscle and not enough on elastic recoil. 7:25 – Muscle vs. Fascia: A Complex Debate Key Idea: Muscles and fascia work together, but fascia often dictates how well force is transmitted through the body. Actionable Takeaways: Don't train muscle in isolation—consider the connective tissue pathways that carry the load. Include multi-planar, whole-chain exercises that respect how fascia links segments. Shift perspective: strength is more than hypertrophy; it's about integration across systems. 16:14 – Understanding Strength and Sequencing Key Idea: True strength is about sequencing—how joints, tissues, and muscles fire in the right order. Heavy lifting too soon can actually disrupt this process. Actionable Takeaways: Build foundational movement skill before layering on maximal loads. Use exercises that emphasize timing and rhythm, not just raw output. Ask: is this athlete strong because they're sequenced, or are they muscling through inefficiency? 23:49 – The Importance of Movement Literacy Key Idea: Movement literacy—the ability to explore, coordinate, and adapt—is a prerequisite for higher-level strength. Actionable Takeaways: Encourage athletes to explore different movement tasks, not just rehearsed drills.

The “grind” is often romanticized, yet there exists a wealth of joy, fulfillment, and accomplishment waiting for you beyond the brink of burnout.    Challenging your internal beliefs, especially the limiting ones, can feel daunting and overwhelming. Simply posing the question, “What else is possible?” provides a brief pause — just a moment is all it takes to reconnect with your core values and make intentional choices about how to engage in the present. Fortunately, there's a science-backed approach that can help shift the direction of your life.   In this episode of the BOLD Business Podcast, you'll discover that burnout is a stress disorder and learn how to move away from a zero-sum mentality. Instead, you'll focus on cultivating hypervigilance and awareness, understanding that the human body is designed to handle stress, which unfolds in stages with a beginning, middle, and end.   Jess Dewell engages with Scott Anderson, Burnout Breakthrough by Doubledare Coaching, to discuss the reality of burnout as an extension of stress that can be transformed. They explore why self-care alone is insufficient and may even exacerbate feelings of burnout, emphasizing that an internal mindset reset is the true key to overcoming burnout.   —-----------------   If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the “Growth Framework Reset” approach. This will help you to keep learning and growing while working strategically on your business. -------------------- You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter,  LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

Why is it so hard to say “no”?

This episode captures a conversation with Sasha, the father of Gary Vaynerchk, during a large-scale landscaping project. Sasha expresses his surprise at the project's magnitude and the extensive use of natural rock sourced directly from his property, which is unusual for projects in California. The discussion highlights the collaborative efforts of various contractors and the strategic placement of massive rocks and logs to create a natural, forest-like aesthetic around a newly constructed pond. Sasha also shares anecdotes about meeting the main contractor, Brian, through a search for pond toys, and a humorous story about Brian's eventual connection with Gary Vaynerchuk. The conversation concludes with Sasha's plans for further planting and considerations for managing the pond's electrical usage and dealing with local wildlife like deer. Key Takeaways: Don't underestimate the scale of your dreams and visions, as the reality can be even more impressive. Recognize and utilize the resources readily available in your own environment, as they can be invaluable. Foster strong collaboration among diverse teams, as it can lead to amazing results. Practice consistently to master challenging tasks, as repeated engagement improves skill and quality. Trust your instincts and pursue your goals with determination, even when others doubt you.

Social media is a CLUSTER-F of scrolling and passive judgement.No matter the feedback, when someone attacks you - you're forced to own it. To get CLEAR and confident on what you stand for.

It's easy to hold onto bitterness and resentment when we feel rejected, so why does God ask us to forgive? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses five steps we can take to heal from rejection: Recognize when we experience rejection, accept Jesus as the example, let go of our bitterness, receive and believe God's provision, and accept ourselves. Pastor Allen speaks about how emotions and spiritual forces try to influence us, but following God's design for relationships brings spiritual freedom. We don't have to be defined by our pain—God values us, and He has already made provision to accept us into His family.

Have you ever found yourself in a season where the unknowns feel stacked on top of each other? You're praying, you're showing up, you're doing what you know to do—but the future still seems hazy. It's like driving through heavy fog: you can see enough to keep moving forward, but what lies ahead feels blurred and out of reach.Seasons like this can make you wonder if God is distant, distracted, or even silent. But what if the fog isn't proof of His absence, but a space for deeper formation? What if, instead of clarity, God is offering you the gift of closeness? In this episode, we talk about how fog-filled seasons are often the places where God is most at work, reshaping your vision and anchoring your trust in Him.  Could it be that the fog is your greatest gift to increase your faith and understand a new level of intimacy with the Shepherd?Through honest stories, Scripture, and gentle rhythms for drawing near, you'll be encouraged to: • Name the fog that's clouding your peace and perspective. • Recognize the pull toward control when what you really need is communion. • Anchor your heart in who God is, not just what He does. • Choose praise as warfare when clarity is out of reach. • Stay near to Jesus when the way forward feels uncertain.If your heart feels unsettled, your prayers seem unanswered, or you're simply weary from the not knowing, this conversation is for you. It's a reminder that proximity to God—not clarity of the path—is what steadies you. The fog isn't your enemy; it may be the very place God reshapes your vision and deepens your trust.

Through a powerful real-life example, Brandy reveals how unresolved childhood hurt can impact the mind-body connection, block genuine healing, and create stress, pain, and relationship struggles. More importantly, you'll discover how to finally release them so you can step into true health, happiness, and success. If you've been working hard on yourself but still feel stuck, this episode will help you: Recognize hidden emotional blocks that affect health and money Understand why certain patterns keep repeating in life and love Why these patterns are so hard to spot (and why they keep repeating) How “spiritual band-aids” can trap you in the same old cycle The surprising connection between hidden emotions, money blocks, and health struggles A simple shift in awareness that can help you free yourself to heal and truly flourish  If you've ever felt stuck—despite working hard on yourself—this episode may be the breakthrough you've been waiting for.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Uncommon Wealth Podcast, host Phillip Ramsey delves into the introspective world of comparing personal achievements and wealth to external standards, specifically examining financial comparisons to figures like Elon Musk. Everyone at some point reflects on where they stand financially, but Phillip urges listeners to look beyond immediate successes and towards a broader timeline, especially focusing on one's faith and eternal perspective.Phillip reflects on feelings of jealousy and comparison, drawing parallels to the material success of Elon Musk. He questions the importance of amassing wealth and emphasizes reassessing one's life through the prism of faith and eternal value. Listing personal moments and relationships as invaluable parts of life, he reminds his audience to acknowledge and appreciate their non-material wealth. Financial planning is important, but Phillip suggests that life satisfaction and faith should weigh heavily in personal evaluations. By refocusing perspectives on what truly defines wealth, listeners can find solace and inspiration in the aspects of life that matter most.Key Takeaways: Reflect on personal wealth not just in financial but also in emotional and spiritual terms. Recognize the trap of comparing yourself to others, especially on platforms like social media. Consider the eternal timeline and how your faith shapes your wealth in a broader sense. Prioritize nurturing relationships and personal growth over solely accumulating material wealth. Embrace the idea that true wealth is also measured by joy, family, health, and the legacy you leave.Notable Quotes: "I feel like out of all the gifts that God's given to me, I feel like I should be in a different state or different perspective or financial spot." "I get to run a business. I love my life." "Francis Chan... has a long rope on stage... saying, like, hey, let's pretend this first three feet of rope is your life." "Let's be honest, the things that you're seeing in social media might not be the whole picture."

Culture of Blessing Sermon Summary (Acts 2:42–47) Coleton continued teaching on the vision of the church: to see the fame and deeds of God repeated in our time by developing followers of Jesus. This vision requires a certain kind of culture. Last week, he emphasized a culture of the Gospel and a culture of pursuit. This week, he focused on cultivating a culture of blessing. Culture of Blessing A culture of blessing is one where followers of Jesus:     •    Understand their identity as God's people called to bless the world.     •    Recognize their unique gifts given by the Spirit to bring flourishing where there is chaos.     •    Actively live out their calling so that others experience God's goodness through them. Biblical Foundation     •    The First Commission (Gen. 1–2): Adam and Eve were commanded to fill the earth, rule it, and bring order and flourishing.     •    The Promise to Abraham (Gen. 12:3; 22:17–18): God promised Abraham's descendants would bless all nations.     •    Fulfillment in Jesus (Gal. 3:16): Jesus is the promised offspring who brings blessing to the nations.     •    The New Commission (Matt. 28:18–20): Jesus calls His followers to multiply disciples and bring spiritual renewal to the world.     •    Equipped by the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:7; Eph. 2:10): Every believer is gifted for the common good and created for good works prepared in advance. Historical Examples of Blessing     •    The Early Church: Outsiders marveled at Christians' love in caring for the poor, orphans, the sick, and prisoners. Their lives made the gospel visible.     •    The Clapham Sect (18th century): William Wilberforce, John Newton, and others used their resources and influence to bless society—ending the slave trade, reforming prisons, starting schools, improving labor laws, and even protecting animals. Modern Examples of Blessing     •    A church member (Colin) comforting someone in the middle of a panic attack, bringing God's peace.     •    A Starbucks worker intentionally making coffee to the glory of God, hoping people would “taste” God's goodness. Application for Today     •    Blessing is our identity and purpose in the world.     •    We are called not to wait for someone else to act but to live with expectation that God has positioned us to bring renewal.     •    Every act—whether teaching, building, counseling, cooking, or studying—can be done to God's glory so others encounter His presence.     •    As a church, opportunities to bless include local and international missions, prayer, using spiritual gifts, and serving in ministry teams. Coleton urged the church to embrace their calling as co-heirs with Christ, stepping into the works God has prepared for them, so that the city of Memphis and the nations might experience God's blessings through His people. ⸻ Discipleship Discussion Questions Understanding the Message     1.    How does the biblical story—from Genesis to Jesus—shape your view of what it means to be a person of blessing?     2.    Why is it significant that blessing is both our identity and purpose as followers of Jesus? Personal Application     3.    What unique gifts, skills, or opportunities has God given you that you could use to bring flourishing into someone else's life?     4.    How might you approach your daily work, tasks, or responsibilities differently if you saw them as ways to display God's glory?     5.    Where in your life right now do you see “chaos” that God might be calling you to step into with His blessing? Community Application     6.    What can our church do to strengthen a “culture of blessing” both inside and outside our walls?     7.    Which mission or ministry opportunities (local, international, or church-based) could you step into this year to bring God's blessing to others? ⸻ Quotes from Authors     •    Alan Kreider, The Patient Ferment of the Early Church: “They looked at the Christians and saw them energetically feeding poor people and giving proper funerals to those who couldn't afford them, caring for orphans who lacked property and parents, and being attentive to aged slaves and prisoners. They interpreted these actions as works of love. And they said, Vide, (look!) Look how they love. They did not say, ‘Aude, listen to the Christian's message'; they did not say, ‘Lege, read what they write.' Hearing and reading were important too. But we must not miss the reality: the pagans said look! Christianity's truth was visible because it was embodied and enacted by its members.”

IntroductionI discovered another AI app that you can use to create slide show presentations (and videos like the one above). The app, Microsoft Copilot, allows you to create slide shows using PowerPoint. Both Copilot and PowerPoint are part of a Microsoft 365 subscription ($99 per year, personal edition).I started with three lines of information, as shown below. I entered these lines into the Create with Copilot option that comes up when you start up PowerPoint. Within a few minutes, Copilot and PowerPoint generated a sixteen-slide presentation that became the basis for the above video.Writer's Block: In Case of an Emergency, Break the GlassThere really is no such thing as writer's block or any other block to getting things done. Blocks only exist if you let them. If you move on, they melt away.As the blue collar comedians, say, “Get ‘er done!” Move on!The text for the video is showcased below. Note how Copilot took three lines and made sixteen slides with the following extensive content.Microsoft Copilot and PowerPointToday I'm showcasing another presentation program you can use, Microsoft PowerPoint combined with Copilot, to create another version of my writer's block information.So we're going to talk about understanding the concept of writer's block, debunking the myth, the reality of writer's block, practical strategies to overcome perceived blocks, and cultivating long-term productivity and creativity.Writer's block is commonly defined as an inability to generate new ideas or work, causing creative paralysis.These beliefs influence how writers view their creative struggles and shape their response to overcoming challenges.The creative blocks such as this are often portrayed in literature, where creative blocks are often depicted as a mysterious curse impacting writers, especially novelists, symbolizing an insurmountable barrier to creativity.Film and media portray creative blocks as unavoidable challenges that dramatically affect artists and writers' work.Anxiety can cause mental blocks by creating fear and stress that hinder creative thinking and writing flow.Perfectionism leads to unrealistic standards that prevent progress and increase fear of failure in writing tasks.Also, unrealistic expectations create pressure that can block creativity and cause frustration during the writing process.Writer's block is basically a myth.Many experts believe blocks are not a real condition but misconceptions about creativity. Creative pauses are often temporary challenges, not permanent stoppages in writing or creative ability. Also, lack of motivation can cause writing delays mistaken for writer's block.Prolific writers maintain consistent work habits, regardless of obstacles, highlighting consistency over inspiration.Discipline is crucial in overcoming challenges and driving steady creative output among successful creators.Persistence outweighs mysterious creative blocks, enabling writers to produce work consistent with their story.Viewing creative struggles as normal helps writers maintain motivation and reduces frustration during the process.Believing challenges are solvable fosters resilience and encourages persistent effort towards progress.A positive mindset helps sustain continuous progress despite encountering creative blocks.Practical strategies to overcome perceived blocks.Embrace imperfection.

Do you act differently around your pastor than you do around your family or friends?  Most people do – even those who don't go to church.  We feel like we have to be on our best behavior.  We can't be our authentic selves.  On the other hand, how do coworkers act around each other?  It's usually easier to speak freely with the people we work with, especially if we've taken time to invest in a relationship with them.  As believers, that puts us in an ideal position to minister to our coworkers – a position that most pastors just don't have.  Don't lose sight of this incredible opportunity you have.  You might not speak from a pulpit, but neither did Jesus.  As Matthew 5:16 instructs:  let your light shine bright so that those around you will have no choice but to praise God!  You have more exposure to pre-believers than most pastors ever will
