---Register today for our upcoming webinar: Webinar: The Friction Framework! Why Your ADHD System Keeps Falling Apart — September 9. Register today at  https://takecontroladhd.com/gps---Rest, relaxation, recuperation. Three words we reach for when we're empty, and all three have collapsed into the same meaning: stop doing something. The older meanings point somewhere far more interesting, toward getting strength back rather than simply halting some energetic drain.This week, Pete walks Nikki through research from occupational psychology that helps explain a frustrating experience most ADHDers likely know well: taking the time off and still coming back exhausted. There are four distinct kinds of recovery, they don't substitute for each other, and picking the wrong one is why a whole weekend of rest can leave you no better than you started.Along the way: why sitting still can make mental noise louder, why your hobby might be the most restorative thing on your calendar, why the scroll fails every test, and how to match the kind of rest you choose to the kind of tired you are.Links & NotesThe Recovery Experience QuestionnaireSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (01:32) - Support the Show on Patreon!

Drawing from more than 15 years in the lab – and her experience as a collegiate runner who suffered 9 stress fractures – Abbie explains how our understanding of female physiology has evolved.They unpack how women can use body composition data without becoming ruled by the numbers, why creatine may become even more valuable as we age, whether women really need female-specific strength programs, and how to approach HIIT and recovery during perimenopause and menopause.The takeaway? Human bodies aren't black and white. And now that we have more tools than ever, the focus should be on finding the ones that work best for you.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow Abbie's experience with 9 stress fractures shaped her approach to training, fueling, and women's healthWhy body composition data can be a valuable tool for tracking muscle, bone, fat, and long-term healthWhat the research says about creatine for women, from muscle and hydration to potential cognitive benefitsWhy women don't necessarily need “women-specific” strength training – and when female physiology should influence how you trainHow to use high-intensity interval training, recovery, and scaling to get results without turning every workout into an all-out effortKey Highlights: (00:00) Intro(01:43) Meet Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan(04:00) Advocating for Women's Health Research(06:37) Women's Health Research: What's Changed & What's Missing(11:40) 9 Stress Fractures, Underfueling, & Low Energy Availability(17:54) Body Composition & Injury Risk(23:21) DEXA, Bod Pod, & Measuring Body Composition(30:43) Body Composition for Midlife Women(35:47) Juliet's Bone Density Loss During Menopause(37:28) What the Research Says About Creatine for Women(41:42) Creatine Hesitancy, Myths, & Safety(45:41) Creatine Loading & the Menstrual Cycle(48:23) Creatine Dosing: 5g vs 10g & Brain Benefits(52:32) What's Changed in Athletic Performance(54:43) Applying Elite Performance Science to Everyday Women(55:27) Women-Specific Strength Training: Science vs Marketing(1:00:32) Overcomplicating Exercise(1:02:16) HIIT, Recovery, & the Menstrual Cycle(1:04:50) HIIT vs Sprint Interval Training(1:07:30) The 20-Minute HIIT Protocol: 1 Min On, 1 Min Off(1:09:48) Abbie's Proof of Practice Podcast(1:13:49) No Black & White Answers(1:16:07) Have We Improved Sports Science?(1:20:23) Infinite Shelf: '90s Rap MusicHuge thanks to our sponsors, BEDGEAR, Momentous, and LMNT.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:You‘ve probably watched your child make a decision so obviously terrible you could not understand how it made sense to them. Darren Hobbs can tell you exactly how it looked, because he made that decision. He had done treatment. He had a sponsor, a home group, a year chip. Then he took some cash he made, drove back to his old dealer, and fully believed he could be the sober cocaine dealer in a small college town.His story starts at 14, with a Vicodin prescription after surgery and the discovery that with substances in him, everything was better, easier and more fun. It runs through years of drinking and cocaine, wrecked cars, stolen money, and parents who kept trying to love him out of it. It ends, or maybe begins, on the floor of a Nashville bar with undercover detectives on top of him, staring at 20 years in prison.What changed him was not the arrest. It was a phone call from his mother, and one sentence she said that I know broke her heart - and drove his recovery.Darren is a Certified Intervention Professional, founder of The Firm Addiction Consulting in Nashville, and a cast member on A&E's Intervention. He has taken hundreds of families through interventions, and he is blunt about what parents do that keeps their kids stuck. He also told me the most extraordinary story of divine timing I have heard on this show. If you watch on YouTube, you will see the goosebumps on both of us.This is the first of four recovery stories this month, and I started here because Darren says out loud the things our kids cannot.If you are watching your child choose the things that will hurt them and cannot make sense of it, this one is for you.YOU'LL LEARNWhat Darren told himself the day he decided he could sell cocaine and stay soberThe one sentence his mother said on the phone that did what years of crime, jail and chaos never didWhy he says parents are the ones who installed the buttons their kids know how to pushThe two things he sees in almost every family who calls him at crisis pointThe tool he calls an industry guarded secret for families who cannot get in a room togetherEPISODE RESOURCES:The Firm Intervention and Addiction Consulting, Nashville, TNDarren on InstagramDie Sober Podcast, hosted by Darren Hobbs and Zach Livingston: https://www.thefirmaddictionconsulting.com/podcastThe Stream, free two-week trial: https://hopestreamcommunity.org/tryWorried Sick free ebook: https://hopestreamcommunity.org/worriedThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

We tend to think of hearing as something that happens in our ears, but hearing is really a partnership between the ears and the brain. And growing research suggests that when hearing begins to decline, it may have implications for cognitive health as well.In this episode of Think Thursday, Molly explores the connection between hearing loss and dementia risk, including what the latest research says about whether hearing aids may help protect cognitive function.You'll learn:Why hearing loss is considered a potentially modifiable risk factor for dementiaHow “effortful listening” may place additional demands on the brainThe role social isolation may play in the hearing–cognition connectionWhat the ACHIEVE trial found about hearing aids and cognitive declineWhy hearing aids cannot currently be said to prevent dementiaSigns that it may be time to have your hearing evaluatedSimple ways to protect your hearing from noise-related damageThe takeaway: protecting your hearing isn't just about preserving sound. It's another practical way to support the connection between your brain and the world around you.Research mentioned:The 2024 Lancet Commission on dementia preventionThe ACHIEVE randomized clinical trial2026 World Health Organization dementia risk-reduction guidance2026 multinational research on hearing aid use and probable dementia ★ Support this podcast ★

My name is Amanda a joyous, free, and recovered alcoholic/addict.The first time I drank at 13 it was a problem. It led me down a dark path of intravenous drug use, violence and sex work. I was plagued by self loathing, guilt and shame which led to not only me praying i would die but also my beautiful children praying that i would die too. They wanted me to be at peace.Today is very different. I wake up full of gratitude, love and a zest for life. I finally got this miraculous programme two weeks before my 50th birthday. If i can recover anyone can.  Today Amanda speaks to us on the topic of How the Three Legacies: Recovery, Unity and Service Brought Me from Death to Life.Links to other Reco12 Podcasts:-       Reco12 Speaker Meeting Podcast:  https://reco12.buzzsprout.com/-       Reco12 Noodle It Out with Nikki M:  https://redcircle.com/shows/76649f3a-617a-4fc7-95aa-95c19b9eb371-       Reco12 Big Book Roundtable:  https://redcircle.com/shows/ba8b016c-de4a-4f9b-99fd-df47ba231605-       Reco12 Workshops:  https://redcircle.com/shows/023ca038-59fe-47cb-84cf-d202ce4fde94 Donations:Support Reco12's 12th Step Mission!

(2:00) Vinnie consulted with a client who was struggling to feel stronger despite 4- and 5-day workouts. (16:15) Recovery between workouts is essential; it is part of the process of building muscle and strength. Vinnie shares advice on how to plan the week and get appropriate recovery between workouts. Exercise is a poor way to lose weight; however, it's a great way to help support longevity by preserving muscle, strengthening bones, and managing insulin resistance. (26:00) Roseburia is an intestinal bacterium, and recent studies claim a correlation between Roseburia and grip strength. (35:45) Study out of Finland: people who drank more coffee had less total and abdominal fat, more muscle, and healthier metabolic markers, even at the same BMI. (51:00) What is TOFA, and what does it allegedly do? (54:00) It is an acronym for "5-tetradecyloxy-2-furoic acid," which may help weight loss without muscle loss. The claim is that it shows more pronounced benefits when used alongside certain GLP-1s. But it has plenty of downsides, too. (56:30) Once again, there is no free lunch in nature. Everything has a cost. Weight loss shouldn't be done with a pill or a substance if we can avoid it because you miss out on the dietary adaptation and learning the right habits.

On the night of November 12, 2016, 26-year-old Joey Comunale left Stamford, Connecticut, for a night out in Manhattan. The Hofstra graduate hit a club in the Meatpacking District with a friend, then accepted an invitation to an afterparty at a luxury apartment on the Upper East Side. Apartment 4C belonged to James Rackover. Also there were Lawrence “Larry” Dilione, Max Gemma, and a small group of women they'd met that night. There was drinking. There was cocaine. By early morning the women were gone. Joey never walked out of that building again.Timestamps08:10 Joey Vanishes After a Night Out17:02 Clues From the Club Photos30:48 The Parking Garage Discovery41:26 The Canine Leads the Way59:49 Crime Scene in the Apartment1:14:17 The Recovery of the VideoUnspeakable on Patreon!CLICK HERE:

On this week's episode of the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance and Principal Scientist Dr. Kristen Holmes and WHOOP SVP of Research, Algorithms, and Data Emily Capodilupo take a deep dive into the science of women's health. The two define the importance of understanding how a woman's physiology changes across the lifespan. Dr. Holmes and Emily define the various phases of the menstrual cycle and how each influences sleep, recovery, thermoregulation, fueling, and exercise performance. This episode challenges the idea that women need to completely restructure their training around their cycle. Instead, Dr. Holmes and Emily explain how understanding your individual patterns can help you make small, informed adjustments to strain, sleep, and recovery that better support your body.The conversation examines the menstrual cycle as an important signal of overall health, establishing your own physiological baseline, and how changes in those patterns can provide useful information throughout different stages of life. Dr. Holmes and Emily discuss the extensive research WHOOP has conducted across women's health, including pregnancy, fertility, and menopause, exploring how wearable data can help reveal changes that might otherwise be difficult to recognize. Ultimately, this episode highlights how better data, more research, and a more personalized understanding of female physiology can give women greater agency over their health and performance at every stage of life.Buy the new Meridian band(00:00) Trailer(01:02) WHOOP Research: The Importance of Studying Women's Health(03:23) Recovery Through The Menstrual Cycle(06:01) Using Science-Back Research to Develop WHOOP Features(09:12) Menstrual Cycle Variability Insights(12:16) Fuelling Tips for High Performing Women(19:27) Viewing Your Menstrual Cycle as a Vital Sign(21:49) Signs of RED-S and Misalignment(24:17) Early Signs of PMOS and How To Screen For It(28:28) What Your Body Is Trying To Tell You(29:49) What Women Need To Know About Tracking Their Cycle(20:10) How To Advocate For Care(30:56) Importance of Knowing Your Normal (31:22) Early Warning Signs of Perimenopause(32:54) WHOOP For Symptom Tracking(40:26) Sleep Hormone Feedback Loop(43:11) What Male Partners Need To Know(46:44) Pregnancy Research Gaps: What We Know About Pre-Natal Training(53:32) Maternal Care & Recovery(56:12) Exciting New Leads in Women's HealthSupport the showFollow WHOOP:Sign up for WHOOP Advanced LabsTrial WHOOP for Freewww.whoop.comInstagramTikTokYouTubeXFacebookLinkedInFollow Will Ahmed:InstagramXLinkedInFollow Kristen Holmes:InstagramLinkedInBuy Aligned by Dr. Kristen Holmes: Follow Emily Capodilupo:LinkedIn

You spent the money. You drove all over the country. Now school starts, the credit card bill lands, and you still don't know if any of it was worth it. This episode gives you a way to answer that.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Matt Hannaford has been an agent for Major League Baseball players for going on 25 years. In this solo episode he walks travel baseball parents through the post-summer audit, a tool for measuring what the summer actually created against what it actually required. You learn how to define your primary objective before you judge anything else. You learn the four value questions that tell you whether the summer did its job. You learn the four cost questions that measure money, time, opportunity cost, and the physical load on your son's body. You learn how to plot value against cost on a four-quadrant grid, and what specific action each quadrant asks of you next. Repeat what worked. Lower the cost. Raise the value. Reset the whole approach. The point is not a good-summer or bad-summer verdict. The point is knowing what the information tells you to do next.   EPISODE SUMMARY This one starts with real questions from real families. Brian from Atlanta asked how he can know if his son actually got better after almost 50 games. Melissa from Chardon spent money traveling everywhere and can't tell which parts were worth it. David from High Point said his son is exhausted and the team already wants to plan the fall. Different questions, same underlying problem. Parents need a better way to evaluate the whole summer once it is over, before the grind of fall ball pulls them back in. Matt's warning is direct. If you never stop and evaluate what happened, you are likely to repeat the same things next year, or quit travel baseball altogether because you blame the industry for the wrong thing. So instead of answering each question, Matt builds the post-summer audit on camera, step by step, and asks you to grab a pen and build it with him. Step one is your primary objective. Before you can evaluate whether the summer worked, you have to define what working meant. Development, better competition, more playing time, exposure, better coaching, a new position, confidence. There can be more than one reason, but you name the single most important one. Step two is value, four yes-or-no questions. Did the summer do the job you expected it to do? Did your son become a better baseball player, not just play more games? Did you learn something meaningful about his game you did not know before? Did a meaningful opportunity come from the summer that probably would not have happened otherwise? Three or more yeses is high overall value. Step three is cost, four more questions covering money, time, opportunity cost, and physical workload. Did the financial cost fit reasonably within what your family could afford? Did the schedule leave enough room for the rest of your family's life? Did it leave enough room for the other things your son needed for his development? Did his body handle the workload well? Matt is careful here. An isolated injury on the last play of the summer does not make this a no. A body that broke down progressively across events does. Recovery is part of development. Step four puts value and cost together on a four-quadrant grid. High value and low cost means repeat what worked, and repeat is not the same as do more. High value and high cost means lower the cost while keeping the value. Low value and low cost means raise the value without raising the cost. Low value and high cost means reset the whole approach. Matt closes on the long game. Run this every year and you build your family's decision database, deciding from evidence instead of from scratch. Ten minutes of honest answers tells you whether the value outweighed the cost.   TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Real questions from real families 3:00 — Why you have to evaluate the summer 5:00 — Step one, your primary objective 9:00 — Step two, the four value questions 17:00 — Step three, what the summer cost you 18:00 — Money, time, opportunity, and the body 26:00 — Step four, the value and cost grid 37:00 — Building your family's decision database If this helped, share it with a parent wrestling with the same question.

Recovery does not always follow a straight path, but relapse, addiction, grief, or past mistakes do not have to become the final chapter. For Recovery Month, Rich Bennett revisits the people and lessons behind the Pot-a-thon for Recovery, a 12-day series of honest conversations about substance use, overdose loss, treatment, motherhood, accountability, and hope.In this solo episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Rich reflects on stories shared by people in recovery, grieving families, peer specialists, counselors, advocates, and leaders from Rage Against Addiction. Their experiences show that addiction can enter any family and that meaningful recovery often requires safety, structure, medical care, accountability, and human connection.You will hear about: Why silence and shame prevent people from seeking help  How sober living homes provide more than a place to sleep  Why relapse does not make future recovery impossible  How compassion and accountability can work together  What families, employers, and communities can do to help Learn about Rage Against Addiction, request support, volunteer, or contribute at https://rageagainstaddiction.org/.If this episode brings someone to mind, please share it with them.

Title: Sobriety - Another Non-AA Path Episode OverviewAfter a quick shoutout to a new listener in Bangladesh, Mike and Glenn dive into a candid conversation about the diverse paths to recovery. While AA works miraculously for many, this episode highlights that it isn't the only way to get sober. They sit down with Dean Newcomb, a certified CCR recovery coach celebrating 18 years of sobriety, to discuss his unique, non-AA journey. Facing rural isolation and an unwelcoming initial meeting, Dean built his own customized program rooted in a direct, personal relationship with his higher power—bypassing the "middleman" of rigid religious expectations.  Key Highlights & TakeawaysReligion vs. Spirituality: The discussion breaks down the vital distinction between man-made religious rules (the "purple robe people") and cultivating a genuine relationship with a creator. Dean shares how finding God in nature, rather than a church basement, became the cornerstone of his early recovery.The Shift from Pain to Fulfillment: Early sobriety is often driven by the immediate need to avoid pain and consequences. However, as Glenn, Mike, and Dean all note, long-term recovery is sustained by a desire for more out of life. Sobriety isn't just about stopping the bad; it's about actively filling the void with family, education, and genuine experiences.Advice for the Newcomer: Dean outlines three actionable steps for anyone currently struggling:1.      Get Honest: Completely admit to yourself that you have lost control. 2.      Connect Higher: Begin building a relationship with your higher power.3.      Speak Up: Ask for help. Even if you can't get to a meeting, find just one person willing to listen to your story. Guest InformationDean is a certified CCR recovery coach and life coach specializing in helping people who need flexible recovery programs that fit into demanding lives. Listeners can connect with him and read his story on LinkedIn.  or at his website:

Porn addiction and loneliness are often more connected than we realize. What feels like a powerful sexual craving may sometimes be your brain reaching for something deeper: connection, belonging, emotional relief, or the experience of feeling wanted and known.In this episode, I sit down with Chris Coursey of Thrive Today to explore why pornography can begin to feel like a form of connection—and why that “connection” ultimately leaves us hungry for more.Chris introduces the concept of “pseudo-joy,” a counterfeit version of the relational joy our brains are designed to experience with real people. Porn can offer stimulation, attention, fantasy, and temporary relief without requiring vulnerability, patience, rejection, conflict, or the other challenges of genuine relationships. But because it cannot provide real attachment or belonging, we can walk away feeling even more lonely and disconnected than before.We also explore the relationship between porn addiction and attachment, why some men struggle to recognize or express their emotional needs, and how earlier relational experiences can shape the ways we respond to loneliness, stress, rejection, and overwhelm.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is that Chris does not leave us with insight alone. We talk about practical relational and emotional regulation skills that men can begin developing right now.We also discuss something I believe is incredibly important for porn addiction recovery: relational skills are recovery skills. Learning how to listen, receive feedback, recognize when another person needs space, stay emotionally present, and build genuine relationships can reduce our dependence on counterfeit forms of connection.The goal is not simply to remove pornography from your life. It is to build a life increasingly filled with the things pornography was trying to imitate—joy, belonging, emotional safety, rest, purpose, love, and real connection.CHRIS COURSEY LINKS:>> RELATIONAL TEMPERATURE FREEBIEThis free assessment measures your ability to stay relationally engaged:Identify your particular triggersRecognize when you're losing joyLearn how to stay in joy!>> CHRIS' ONLINE FEATURESWhether podcast or video interviews, articles or book reviews, you'll find Chris Coursey spreading joy and encouragement all over the internet!Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeVisit No More Desire Tools for Recovery for recovery tools and training, the free online community, my free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™ and more to help you break free from porn.If you're tired of trying to quit porn on your own, the No More Desire Academy gives you a structured path to recovery through coaching, brotherhood, practical tools, and step-by-step training.

I’m so excited to bring you this wonderful interview with Mr. Chu Zhu. He is the founder of a company called Somnus Lab, and they make an amazing mattress cooling sleep system to help you regulate your body temperature during sleep. Chu is a scientifically sophisticated guest who explains some fascinating aspects of circadian rhythm and the hormonal processes governing sleep, including the role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus—the “light control tower” in the brain—and the buildup of adenosine that creates sleep pressure. We talk about why outdoor light is such a powerful signal for your body clock, why indoor lighting doesn't come close to matching it, and how caffeine masks the buildup of adenosine rather than eliminating your need for sleep. We then get into the surprising role of body temperature. You need to cool down to fall asleep, stay cool to stay asleep, and warm up to wake up. Chu explains the surprising reason a warm shower before bed can actually help lower your core temperature, why getting too cold can backfire, and why temperature regulation becomes increasingly challenging as we age. I’ve also been beta testing the Somnus system myself, so we talk about how it can automatically regulate the temperature of your mattress throughout the night, customize each side of the bed, and track sleep without requiring you to wear a device. And if you’re someone who loves your sleep-tracking data, we have an important conversation about why more data isn't necessarily better. This episode will make you think differently about what you're doing to get better sleep: we get into the technology, but also the general behaviors that can help us get things right—including the effects of caffeine and alcohol, how sensitive the body is, and how sometimes we can simply get out of the way. It’s a great reminder that getting better sleep and better health may be less complicated than we think. TIMESTAMPS: Chu discovered some surprising things when he got in to the sleep system technology research. [04:40] Circadian rhythm is very important in regulating how we use sleeping time. [05:49] The hypothalamus is the control center of the brain that receives the light and dark cycles governing our sleep cycles. [07:33] Caffeine is able to take the spot of the brain's receptor that is supposed to take in adensoine to tell you if you are tired. [08:30] If we look at the evolutionary timelline, we see how the sunset and sunrise used to determine our sleep patterns, whereas now we have the lights and screens that don't allow these mechanisms to work naturally. [11:23] Also the access to processed foods and sugars, the empty calories are causing problems nowadays. The difference between direct sunlight and the indoor blue light we are exposed to also makes a big difference. [12:16] Every system in human body has a mechanism to pull it one way and the other way to push it so that you basically have a two-directional regulation system almost in every aspect. [16:35] So the important thing to do in the morning is awaken naturally near sunrise and get some direct esxposure to light, and then know that in the evening is where most of the problems happen. [17:35] Wearing blue screening glasses during the day is completely wrong. [19:16] Body temperature and environmental temperature are very important parts of the ability to fall asleep. [21:23] You need to cool down to fall asleep and you need to stay cool to stay asleep. You need to warm up to wake up. [23:31] Take a warm shower which allows the body temperature to drop and then bed covers or pajamas keep your skin at a comfortable temperature, but it is really important to have the room or the mattress temperature promoting a drop in body temp. [28:13] There are four sleep stages: preparation to sleep, deep sleep, then REM sleep and waking up stage. [32:37] How do you determine whether you're getting these factors dialed in? Is it as simple as waking up and feeling alert and energized? [34:48] The Somnus sleep system is simply a mattress cover like the protective cover you have on your mattress, that is filled with water that creates a cool sleeping environment. [37:27] How does this Somnus monitor your sleep so that you have sleep data? [50:07] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

We're on Part 3 of our Four Agreements series, sis — and this one might be the sneakiest of them all. So far we've learned to be impeccable with our word, and to stop taking things personally. Today's agreement ties them together: don't make assumptions. Because here's the truth — the eating disorder is a master storyteller. It makes up stories all day long, then hands them to you as if they're facts. Today, we learn to stop believing the lies. (New here? Go back and start with Parts 1 and 2 — they build.) We assume about everything The problem isn't that we make assumptions. It's that we swear they're real. As the book puts it, "we make the assumption that everyone sees life the way we do." She didn't text back — she's mad. He looked at my plate — he thinks I'm eating too much. They went quiet — they were talking about my body. We don't check. We don't ask. We decide it's true and live like it's true. And from that one habit, so much suffering is born — we blame, we react, we misunderstand, we create drama out of thin air. Almost all of our sadness is rooted in making assumptions. The eating disorder is a master storyteller The disorder doesn't deal in facts — it deals in stories. It fills every silence, every glance, every unanswered question with the same story: they noticed. they judged. you're not enough. You have no evidence for any of it. But because the story feels so real, you believe it, react to it, restrict because of it, isolate because of it. We only see what we want to see — and when your lens is a disorder, you'll find "proof" for its lies everywhere. Making assumptions leads to chaos, and the disorder loves chaos, because it keeps you too spun-out to question it. The assumptions that become rules Here's where it gets really sneaky in recovery — assumptions don't just create stories, they create rules. We assume wellness culture knows best — that the influencer, the diet, the "clean eating" plan knows what your body needs better than your body does. So we take on their rules as gospel: can't eat past this hour, have to earn it, have to burn it, never skip the workout. And we never stop to ask: Is this actually nourishing my body? Is this genuinely healthy for me? Or is it just diet culture wrapped in a pretty bow of fake news? Because we don't ask, we obey — and every unquestioned rule makes the disorder stronger. The assumption becomes the cage. My biggest assumption I lived this one, sis. My biggest assumption in my whole journey was: if I eat more, I'll never stop gaining weight. I was convinced that if I nourished myself, my body would balloon endlessly and everyone would look at me and go, "Oh my gosh, look at her." That assumption left me chained. Trapped. Terrified for a very long time — too scared to move forward, but exhausted from the cycle of restriction and over-exercising. I was suffering over something that had never happened and that I had zero evidence for. I just assumed it was true, and let it run my life. The question that cracked it open: "But do you like it now?" Here's the question I want to ask you, gently. You're assuming that if you gain weight, you won't like your body. But sis… do you like it now? The disorder promises that staying exactly like this — restricting, controlling, shrinking — is protecting some peace with your body. But are you at peace right now? Or are you already at war with your body while telling yourself you're staying this way to avoid being at war with it? You don't need to gain a pound to be miserable in your body — the disorder has you doing that today. The peace you're protecting doesn't exist. So you're not actually choosing between peace and weight gain. You're choosing between this war and the chance at real freedom. The antidote: ask The antidote to making assumptions is to ask. With people: "Hey, are we okay?" instead of assuming. With the rules: "Is this actually nourishing me, or a rule I never questioned?" With yourself: "Do I have real evidence for this — or did the disorder just hand me a story?" Asking is how you find your voice. It's how you get to the truth. And the truth is almost always so much kinder than the story the disorder tells. How this ties the agreements together This is why it's the third agreement — it weaves the first two together. When you stop making assumptions, you naturally become impeccable with your word (no more false stories), and you naturally stop taking things personally (you ask what's true instead of assuming it's all about you). The three agreements hold hands. Information isn't enough You can understand every word of this and still stay stuck. Because information isn't what changes your life — action is. Knowing the disorder makes up stories doesn't set you free. Catching the story and choosing to ask instead — that's what sets you free. That's the difference between the woman who listens to recovery podcasts forever, and the woman who actually gets free. A few lines from the episode "The problem isn't that we make assumptions. It's that we swear they're real." "The eating disorder doesn't deal in facts. It deals in stories." "Because you don't ask, you obey — and every unquestioned rule makes the disorder stronger. The assumption becomes the cage." "You're assuming that if you gain weight, you won't like your body. But do you like it now?" "Information isn't what changes your life. Action is." Your work this week Catch the story. Every time you notice yourself assuming — they're judging me, if I eat more I'll never stop, this rule is keeping me safe — pause and ask: "Is this true, or is this a story the disorder wrote?" Then do the brave thing: ask the real question. Question one rule. Seek one truth. Find your voice. Coming up: the finale This is Part 3 of the Four Agreements in Recovery — one to go. Make sure you're following so you don't miss the finale, where all four agreements come together. You don't have to untangle the lies alone If you're realizing how many stories and rules you've been living inside — and you want support separating the disorder's lies from the truth — that's exactly the work I do with women one-on-one and in the Recovery Collective.

What if becoming unshakable has less to do with pushing harder and more to do with learning how to recover? In this solo episode of Becoming Unshakable, I'm talking about something leaders often undervalue until they have already hit the wall: intentional recovery. We spend so much time thinking about performance, results, responsibility, and caring for the people around us that it can become easy to overlook the person carrying all of that weight. But sustained performance requires capacity, and capacity has to be restored. I share why I believe leaders should begin thinking of themselves as high-performance corporate athletes. We look at what we can learn from athletes like LeBron James and the Williams sisters, who invest enormous amounts of time and attention into maintaining the bodies and minds that allow them to perform at the highest level. That same thinking applies inside our workplaces. I talk about rebalancing workloads, creating white space in calendars, paying attention to team capacity, and building recovery practices into everyday life. That might mean sleeping, walking, meditation, prayer, hydration, quiet thinking time, or simply creating enough space to stop operating in constant reaction mode. I also share a moment from my own leadership journey when I realized I had added one more responsibility to an already overwhelmed team member. It forced me to reconsider what was on her plate, what could be delegated, and what leadership looks like when we take capacity seriously. Most importantly, this episode examines the inward side of caring leadership. Caring for others matters deeply, but we cannot continually give people the best of ourselves while giving ourselves whatever happens to be left over. I learned that lesson by hitting more walls than I would have liked. My hope is that after listening to this, you don't have to. What would change if you began treating your own recovery as seriously as you treat your responsibilities to everyone else? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

I think people often imagine exercise almost like depositing muscle directly into a bank account.I lifted today…therefore I built muscle today.I squatted today…therefore my bones are stronger today.I ran today…therefore I am fitter today.But that isn't really how adaptation works.Training creates a challenge.A demand.A reason for your body to change.Then, between workouts, your body responds to that challenge.And after enough properly dosed challenges…with enough recovery…repeated over enough time…the accumulated response becomes something you can finally see or measure.More strength.More muscle.Greater work capacity.Improved skill.Stronger connective tissue.Potential improvements in bone.The workout is not the finished product.The workout is the request.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

For women who care about their health and are already paying attention to what they put in their bodies, skincare should be straightforward. It is not — because the information online is loud, contradictory, and often more driven by fear than evidence. In this episode, triple board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mamina Turegano cuts through all of it: the sunscreen myths, the ingredient fears, the products not worth spending money on, and what your skin actually needs to stay healthy long-term. Dr. Mamina Turegano is a triple board-certified dermatologist, internist, and dermatopathologist based in New Orleans — one of the only physicians in the country who holds all three certifications. She specializes in medical, cosmetic, and integrative dermatology, blending conventional and holistic approaches to skin health. With over 2 million followers across social media, she co-hosts the Skin Deep MDs podcast, has been published in leading medical journals, and brings the same evidence-based, no-fearmongering approach to everything she touches. What's Discussed: The one skincare step that outperforms everything else — and why consistency is the only metric that matters   SPF 30 vs. SPF 50 vs. SPF 100 — what the actual coverage difference is, what Dr. Mamina recommends for daily use, and the honest answer to "which sunscreen is best"   What three separate board certifications give Dr. Mamina that a standard dermatologist cannot offer — and why the internist lens changes how she reads skin from the inside out   The skincare categories you never need to spend money on — cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen do not need to be expensive   The face-washing take that would make most of the internet mad — and why she stands by it completely   What stress does to your skin at a biological level: cortisol, oil composition, inflammation, and why the cascade matters for women who are chronically under load   The benzene-in-sunscreen scare of 2022 — what actually happened, what the levels meant in context, and why the fear grew bigger than the evidence warranted   The sunscreen-causes-skin-cancer myth — debunked, with the ice cream and shark bites analogy that puts it in perspective   Chemical vs. mineral sunscreen: the endocrine disruption concern, what the animal studies actually show, and who should consider switching to zinc-based   Why sunscreen does not cause low vitamin D — and what is actually driving the low vitamin D epidemic   Toxic and problematic skincare ingredients — what to look for and what to avoid   Bacne and skin issues specific to women who train   Fungal breakouts — how to tell the difference from bacterial acne and what to do about it   What movement does for your skin at a cellular level   The link between metabolic health and skin   Ready for coaching that builds around your training and your health?

CAPTION: 1910 DETROITAlan Tonelson highlights the significant manufacturing revival currently taking place in the United States, driven by key sectors like aerospace and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Boeing's resolution of safety and production issues has revitalized aerospace, while a massive buildout of AI data centers has boosted demand for semiconductors, steel, and electronic equipment. Although trade tensions with Canada persist, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement protects most trade, rendering short-term disruptions minimal. Furthermore, while widespread local protests against data centers have emerged across various states, they have not yet slowed down the overall rapid pace of construction. (3)

Many of us know someone who is in addiction recovery, but few of us really understand what that means. What does this healing journey actually look like? How can we best support someone going through it? We find ourselves worrying that we'll say or do the wrong thing, and we may feel hopeless or confused when our loved one continues to struggle with substance use. Caroline Beidler joins us to offer a compassionate guide for understanding addiction and the recovery lifestyle.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
