This episode originally aired as #597 on 12/20/25 and we are bringing it to you again! On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared breaks down amino acids—what they are, how they work in the body, and how to supplement them strategically for muscle health, recovery, fasting, metabolism, and healthy aging. He explains the difference between essential amino acids, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), collagen, protein powders, and whole-food protein, and clarifies when each one makes the most sense. Jared also walks through practical use cases, including workout performance, muscle preservation during fasting, age-related muscle loss, and supporting lean mass during calorie restriction—without hype!

Text and Be HeardPrediction markets are having a moment, and they're being pitched as smarter than gambling. The problem is that the brain doesn't always care what you call it. When the interface looks like trading and the language sounds like forecasting, it can quietly lower your guard while the risk, volatility, and urge cycle stay fully intact.We sit down with psychologist Dr. Michael Zhang to unpack why prediction markets can hook people differently than sportsbooks. He lays out a sharp framework: prediction markets don't remove gambling, they repackage it by bundling four systems at once. You still pay structural costs through fees and spreads, you still ride crowd-driven price shifts, you still face casino-style uncertainty, and you also inherit poker-like dynamics where you're effectively playing other participants and battling information asymmetry. That mix can feel analytical and “earned,” which makes chasing losses easier to justify.Then we look at what's happening to young men as sports betting, micro-betting, and prediction markets get normalized through group chats, fantasy leagues, and everyday sports culture. Wins get posted, losses get hidden, and harm grows in private. We also talk solutions you can use right now: start with honesty, tell one person, and add real friction through blockers, self-exclusion, and tools designed for the moment an urge hits. Dr. Zhang shares how his guided recovery app, Incumental, aims to provide that in-the-moment support so recovery isn't limited to a single hour of therapy a week.If you care about gambling addiction recovery, behavioral health, and the future of “investing-like” wagering, listen, share this with someone who needs it, and subscribe and leave a review so more people can find the help sooner.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.   Go Live Your Best Life!!Facebook Group - Recovery Freedom Circle | FacebookYour EQ is Your IQYouTube -    Life Is Wonderful   Hugo VRecovery Freedom CircleThe System That Understands Recovery, Builds Character  and Helps People Have Better Relationships.A Life Changing Solution, Saves You Time, 18 weekswww.lifeiswonderful.love  Instagram -  Lifeiswonderful.LoveTikTok -  Lifeiswonderful.LovePinterest -   Lifeiswonderful.LoveX -     LifeWonderLoveLinkedIn -   Hugo Vrsalovic    LinkedIn -   The 1% in Recovery

In this episode, Josh and Drew discuss a common hurdle in anxiety recovery: the desire to "win" against your anxiety. For many, especially those with perfectionist tendencies, anxiety is viewed as an adversary that has taken something away. This leads to a constant, habitual checking to see if the anxiety is gone, which inadvertently keeps you stuck in a cycle of monitoring and frustration.---Want to talk about this episode with us and interact with others that are sharing your experience?https://disordered.fm/community---We look at why defining recovery as a "win" can be counterproductive.The Lack of Closure: Unlike a sports match, there is no final bell or celebration when you recover. Recovery often just peters out until you realize you haven't thought about how you feel in weeks.Examination Compulsions: When you are hell-bent on winning, you might find yourself checking how you feel 50 times a day. Because anxiety involves a doubt response, even a "good" check is often met with more doubt, leading to increased frustration.The Perfectionist Hurdle: Perfectionists often want to get recovery "exactly right," looking for a certificate or absolute proof that the battle is over.We explore the idea that true progress isn't measured by the absence of symptoms, but by your willingness to experience them.Surrender vs. Resistance: While "winning" implies a fight, recovery is found in surrender—not to the anxiety, but to the reality of the moment.Functional Impact: We discuss measuring success by how much you are living your life, regardless of how you feel. If an adrenaline spike used to stop you for a week and now it only stops you for an hour, that is progress.The Paradox of Recovery: You know you are winning when you stop asking if you are winning.We share inspiring stories from our community members who practiced these principles.The 5K Race: A listener shares how she completed a 5K and set a personal best despite dealing with stomach cramps and the urge to stop.The London Trip: A community member discusses traveling to London and using the tube while experiencing high anxiety and physical sensations, choosing to lean into the discomfort to attend an important event.The Wedding Day: A past caller shares her experience of getting married while navigating Relationship OCD (ROCD), proving that you can have a beautiful, meaningful day even when your internal experience is difficult.Ultimately, the win isn't when the anxiety leaves; the win is when it doesn't matter that it's there.---The Disordered Guide to Health Anxiety is now available. If you're struggling with health anxiety, this book is for you.---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control? Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Worry and Rumination Explained⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a two hour pre-recorded workshop produced by Josh and Drew.

Most people with OCD focus on the visible rituals — washing, checking, or avoiding. But the compulsions that most often keep the loop alive are invisible: they happen entirely inside your head. In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW, breaks down the five mental compulsions that he sees most often in his work with OCD and anxiety clients — behaviors like rumination, mental checking, mental reviewing, mental reassurance, and mental neutralization.If you've ever wondered why your OCD isn't getting better even though you've cut back on physical rituals, this episode is for you. Matt explains that 80–90% of most people's compulsive behavior is mental — and most therapists never even address it. Understanding these patterns is the first step toward breaking the loop for good.Matt also explains why the distinction between the intrusive thought (the obsession — outside your control) and everything you do afterward (the compulsion — within your agency) is the key insight that empowers real recovery.

My dad's birthday was a couple of weeks ago. I didn't send him a card. I called him on his birthday, but I got his voicemail, so I left a message. We didn't talk until the next weekend. By then, it just felt like it had been too long to re-wish him a happy birthday, so I didn't. He reads my blog, so Dad, happy birthday. There. A voicemail and an interweb shout-out. I still feel guilty. And conflicted… Are you ready for the discoveries of recovery?

After seven years, we're saying goodbye to Real Pod as you know it. In this emotional final episode, Victoria reflects on the journey from recording scrappy early interviews in her home to building a 10M+ download podcast that became a true safe space for honest, vulnerable conversations. She opens up about outgrowing the version of herself who started the show, the quiet realization that the “roaring fire” had faded, and why choosing to pivot is both scary and necessary. Vic shares the biggest lessons Real Pod taught her, from the power of putting yourself out there to the reminder that no one has life figured out.

Zach sits down with Matt and Paige, a married couple from the DFW area who have been together since they were 14 years old, and who now host their own podcast for spouses and partners of people navigating addiction. What sounds like a high school sweetheart story quickly opens into something far more complicated: a decade-long opioid addiction, financial abuse, gaslighting, panic attacks, and a slow, hard-won rebuild that took most of their adult lives.Matt frames their relationship in three chapters: young and naive kids figuring out what love even is, the dark middle years where addiction quietly dismantled the life they were trying to build, and the current chapter where, for the first time in 25 years, they describe themselves as genuinely on equal footing. Paige's side of the story carries the weight of what spouses often carry alone. She didn't know it was addiction for years. She thought he was just treating her badly. And when his recovery finally stabilized, her body held the bill: panic attacks, rage, and a grief that had nowhere to go while things were still dangerous. She eventually came to a kind of peace, but only after Matt began holding real accountability, not just staying sober.The conversation covers the question of when an addict actually earns credit from their partner, the long gap between sobriety and true marital recovery, how they talk to their kids about addiction, and what it means to finally feel known by someone rather than just tolerated. This is a candid, unsentimental look at what it takes to come back from something that breaks most couples apart.Key TakeawaysSobriety and marital recovery are not the same clock. For Matt and Paige, it took nearly a decade after Matt got sober for Paige to feel genuinely safe again.When one partner gets well, the other one often falls apart. Paige's panic attacks and depression showed up four years into Matt's sobriety, once she finally felt safe enough to stop holding everything together.Feeling known is different from knowing someone. Matt describes the shift in their marriage as the moment they both stopped managing each other and started actually seeing each other.Validation is not a soft skill. Paige names Matt learning to validate her experience, not dismiss or minimize it, as one of the most meaningful turning points in their relationship.Putting your marriage first is not selfish parenting. Matt and Paige kept the marriage as the anchor even through the chaos of raising kids, and they're clear that a thriving marriage is part of what their kids need to witness.The spouse's story often goes untold. There are far more resources for addicts than for the partners who stay, hold things together, and absorb the fallout. Matt and Paige built their podcast specifically to fill that gap.Recovery for the partner requires genuine accountability from the addict, not just behavior change. Paige needed Matt to name what he had done to her before her body would let her relax.Curiosity is what keeps a long marriage alive. Even 25 years in, Matt describes Paige as someone he's still discovering, and he credits that sense of ongoing curiosity as part of what keeps them close.Guest InfoMatt and Paige Hosts of Till the Wheels Fall Off, a podcast focused on the experience of spouses and partners of people struggling with addiction. Matt has 13 years of sobriety following a ten-year opioid addiction that began after an injury in his mid-twenties. Paige navigated those years as a partner who didn't know addiction was the cause of what she was living through, and has become a voice for others in similar situations. The show publishes three episodes per week, is over 300 episodes deep, and has a companion program built alongside a licensed therapist as well as a free Facebook community for listeners.Podcast: Till the Wheels Fall Off https://twfo.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Enjoy this engaging interview with Kristy Matthews, the world indoor record holder in the 400 meters in the female 50+Masters division of Masters track&field! She can run 58 seconds for 400 meters, which is on a par with collegiate level athletes! Indeed, Kristy was a collegiate track star at San Diego State University - a conference champ in the 800 meters and qualifier for the 1992 Olympic trials. Kristy eventually took a 30-year break from competitive track, played adult soccer at a serious level, and then burst onto the masters track&field scene in recent years. She excels at distances ranging from 100 meters to the mile! (in 2025 Midwest championships she swept all these events!). She also competes at the elite level in adult soccer leagues - a versatile champ defying our typical notions of aging. In this episode, Kristy describes her empowering mindset that she claims is the centerpiece of her success, her lifestyle routine that allows her to continue to perform at the highest level, and some tips that we can all implement immediately to pursue and achieve worthwhile goals that promote longevity. TIMESTAMPS: This guest has set world records in the 400 and is in the 50 to 54 age group. [01:17] Kristy's athletic life started as a runner in college where she was on a full scholarship. [06:11] Even as she grew older and became pregnant, she was highly motivated to stay very fit in order to give her child a long presence in her life. [09:30] She had a 30 year hiatus from competitive track. [11:36] What is her secret to being able to run at age 52, with the same times as college comepetition? [18:32] Take the time to ask yourself, "How are you doing?" Embrace who you are. [21:31] Accept where you are. Identify what you want to accomplish. [23:06] Ask yourself, "Why are I doing this?" Make sure you understand all the reasons. [29:55] What does Kristy's training look like? [32:21] Kristy also plays soccer and sprints. [37:56] Unfortunately, we do not see many people competing in the over 50 age group. [39:41] Kristy is trying out Peluvas and tells Brad what experience she is having. She likes feeling the ground.

In this powerful episode, Heather Creekmore introduces listeners to Tara, a real woman whose life has been radically transformed by putting God at the center of her struggle with body image and food. Tara shares her deeply personal journey—from coping with anxiety and depression in childhood, wrestling with perfectionism and body image in competitive gymnastics, battling addiction, and eventually, overcoming the religion of dieting. Through her story, Tara reveals how she mistook disordered eating for biblical discipline and how the message of grace, identity in Christ, and true freedom changed her life. Now serving as a coach with Compared to Who?, Tara’s experience offers both practical encouragement and spiritual insight for anyone wrestling with food, shame, or their own reflection. *this episode originally aired in 2022. Key Discussion Points Tara’s Early Struggles: The roots of her anxiety, perfectionism, and body shame in childhood and sports (06:45). The “Religion of Dieting”: How Tara’s disordered eating felt like spiritual discipline, and how cultural and Christian messages got tangled (01:02, 24:17). Shame & Identity: The dangerous cycle of striving for approval through appearance and learning how to shift identity from body image to Christ (32:17). Rock Bottom and Recovery: Tara’s experiences with addiction, motherhood, medical challenges, and finally surrendering control to God (14:13). The Turning Point: Discovering the “Compared to Who?” Bible plan and the concept of body image idolatry (03:14, 30:08). Freedom in Christ: The ongoing, un-glamorous, daily process of surrender, community, and living out new-found freedom (36:24, 38:09). Coaching & Community: The role of group coaching, supportive friendships, and honest sharing in breaking free from shame (35:31, 44:06).

Listen ad free on Patreon.In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Tiffany Towers, Clinical Director and licensed clinical psychologist at Seasons Malibu. Dr. Towers studied psychology and theater at Barnard College at Columbia University and earned her Doctorate in Clinical Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Her work pairs her strong clinical training with a creative, narrative-based approach to therapy.Dr. Towers and I discuss how looking at addiction through the lens of story can help loosen the grip of all-or-nothing thinking. Instead of seeing yourself as permanently defined by past behavior, this approach opens the door to examining patterns, shifting roles, and building a more flexible sense of identity.We also walk through the range of modalities used at Seasons, including EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic work, equine therapy, CBT, and DBT, with a focus on what they actually look like in practice and how to find credible versions of these treatments outside of a residential setting.Dr Towers also emphasizes the value in meeting people where they are, where that is abstinence or harm reduction, and how thoughtful, individualized care can support meaningful progress in either direction.My goal with this episode is to translate high-level clinical insight into something you can use and apply to your own life. Whether you are in recovery, considering change, or working in the field, this conversation offers a grounded, practical way to think about healing and what comes next.Today's episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠Seasons ⁠⁠in Malibu. For over 18 years, Seasons has been a sanctuary for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives from addiction and mental health challenges. Our story began with a simple but profound vision: To create a luxurious sanctuary for individuals struggling with addiction or mental health issues, where they can receive the finest, evidence-based treatment in the world.Built on Compassion, Driven by ExcellenceWhat started as a small number of compassionate professionals has grown into one of the nation's most respected luxury treatment centers. But growth has never meant losing sight of what matters most—the individual engaging with our therapists, one-on-one, taking the courageous first step toward healing.From the beginning, we understood that truly transformative treatment requires more than clinical protocols. It demands a personalized approach, led by the most qualified professionals, in an environment that nurtures the whole person. That's why we've assembled a team where every primary therapist holds a Doctorate in Psychology - a distinction virtually unmatched in our field.Check out ⁠⁠⁠Seasons Malibu⁠⁠⁠ online or call 1-866-314-5160 for more information.Connect with Seasons on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

Have you ever wondered if it's actually possible to get to the "other side" of an anxiety disorder? I get asked about my personal recovery journey more than almost anything else. Even though I've been recovered for nearly a decade, looking back at where I was—a shell of a person, shaking, crying, and forcing myself to function through multiple panic attacks a day—still brings up so much emotion. In this special Q&A episode, Mari and I sit down to answer your most personal questions about my 15-year battle with severe panic disorder and agoraphobia.I'm sharing the raw truth about what my life looked like at its worst, the moment I realized I couldn't keep living that way, and what actually helped me find long-term, consistent healing.HERE'S WHAT TO SAY TO YOUR BRAIN WHEN YOU'RE SPIRALING: https://ahealthypush.myflodesk.com/calmpanicTAKE MY FREE QUIZ AND FIND OUT WHAT'S CAUSING YOU TO STAY STUCK: https://www.ahealthypush.com/blocking-quizA HEALTHY PUSH INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ahealthypush/GET THIS EPISODE'S SHOW NOTES: https://www.ahealthypush.com/post/shannons-story

Letting go sounds simple until life throws a wrench in your carefully laid plans. Intentions are sneaky little culprits that can quietly turn into control traps, and HSPs feel that grip more intensely than most. When we resist what we cannot change, we hand our peace away without even realizing it. Learning to let go of what we can't control so it doesn't control us is the real work. Let go, or get dragged.

On the identities we no longer need, the alchemy of recovery, and mourning the person we used to be.  (0:00) – Introduction and Background of Allison Derani (2:13) – Allison's Journey and Grief in Recovery (5:21) – Parenting and Self-Abandonment (7:04) – The Ambiguous Grief of Self-Abandonment (7:50) – The Liminal Space of Sobriety (18:39) – The Importance of Listening to Questions (22:57) – The Practice of Slowing Down (25:21) – Closing Thoughts and Future Plans Allison Deraney is a woman in recovery from alcohol who credits sobriety for waking her back up to her first passion—writing. Currently a licensed real estate attorney, running her own business, she's writing more creativity into her days via her Substack, Dare To Be, and working on her first book, a memoir about the healing and revealing as we recover from the ambiguous loss of self-abandonment. Dedicated to speaking up and speaking out about living a conscious sober life, Allison lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two kids, and two rescue dogs, spending her free time wandering and wondering in nature, and cheering her kids on from the sidelines of the basketball court. Allison's book-to-be is about grief; not the traditional kind, though there is some of that in there. The biggest lesson she's learned in recovery is this: Rejecting grief, in all its iterations, is a form of self-abandonment. Grief requires that we surrender to it. So does addiction, compulsion of perfection and aging. It's a book that explores how my midlife journey is intersecting with the deeper parts of recovery in the most terrifying and beautiful way. It's a unique book in that it is written during the transformation. Because I am still in it. Sobriety has been my portal to Divinity and I'm here, feet planted on the threshold, weaving words to capture the experience as best I can. https://allisonderaney.substack.com Here are Allison's three favorite posts from her Substack, DARE TO BE, out of an immense pull to write through her sobriety. https://open.substack.com/pub/allisonderaney/p/setting-off-our-own-fireworks-a95?r=rkt4u&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false https://open.substack.com/pub/allisonderaney/p/its-been-a-whole-hand?r=rkt4u&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false https://open.substack.com/pub/allisonderaney/p/my-permission-sticks-they-still-keep?r=rkt4u&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Ohio State Injury Updates + Ryan Day on Mental Health | Buckeye Weekly PodcastOn the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss Ryan Day's update that Ohio State players who missed spring with various injuries and procedures (including issues like labrums and meniscus) are expected to be healed in time to have full summers, emphasizing how crucial summer work is for preparing for fall camp, especially for offensive linemen and running backs. They note spring is the right time to be cautious and get nagging issues cleaned up, while also highlighting the need for a mental break after spring ball. The conversation shifts to Day's children's mental health initiatives with Nina Day through the Kids Mental Health Foundation, including an event in New Hampshire focused on improving access, reducing stigma, and building resiliency, with encouragement for philanthropy and broader national expansion.00:00 Welcome and Big Update00:27 Spring Injuries Healing Timeline01:33 Summer Work Matters Most02:11 O Line and RBs Getting Reps04:28 Legend Bay Development Plan06:29 Recovery and Avoiding Lingering Issues07:17 Mental Breaks and Player Wellness09:07 Kids Mental Health Foundation Event10:07 Access and Ending the Stigma13:57 Wrap Up and Subscribe

Text and Be HeardGrief can make anyone wonder, “Is this the moment I go back out?” We sit down with Rick, a musician and recovering compulsive gambler living in Oklahoma, to talk about what happens when real life collides with early recovery and how to stay standing anyway. He opens up about losing his mom, the brutal first year of “first holidays” without her, and the honest fear many people carry: will loss become a trigger for relapse?From there, we get specific about sobriety and gambling addiction recovery. Rick explains why quitting drinking mattered even though Gamblers Anonymous is his main program, and how accepting “I don't have to drink again” changed everything. Then life hit hard: three months after he stopped drinking, he faced an affair and divorce. He didn't pick up a drink, but he saw gambling urges spike, which leads to a practical conversation about cross-addiction, emotional regulation, and why clean dates matter less than continuing to come back.We also dig into solutions that scale. With limited in-person GA meetings in many states, Rick built gameetingfinder.com to help people find GA virtual meetings and stay connected to a real recovery community. Finally, we talk about music and mental health: why not listening can be a sign of depression, and how playing and listening can become a steady recovery tool.If this helped, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find support.Find an Online Meeting, GA Meeting Finder:  www.gameetingfinder.comSupport the showRecovery is Beautiful.   Go Live Your Best Life!!Facebook Group - Recovery Freedom Circle | FacebookYour EQ is Your IQYouTube -    Life Is Wonderful   Hugo VRecovery Freedom CircleThe System That Understands Recovery, Builds Character  and Helps People Have Better Relationships.A Life Changing Solution, Saves You Time, 18 weekswww.lifeiswonderful.love  Instagram -  Lifeiswonderful.LoveTikTok -  Lifeiswonderful.LovePinterest -   Lifeiswonderful.LoveX -     LifeWonderLoveLinkedIn -   Hugo Vrsalovic    LinkedIn -   The 1% in Recovery

Are your lights disrupting your hormones and sabotaging your sleep? Most people focus on diet and exercise but overlook light, yet it is one of the most powerful drivers of health.

We discuss how artificial light mimics midday sun signals and why morning sunlight is critical for serotonin and melatonin production.

If you recognize the sound of a Velcro rip and your heart starts to pound the minute you hear that familiar hum, we need to talk. You likely bought a home blood pressure monitor to feel safer and healthier, but now you might feel like a slave to a rubber tube and a plastic screen.In this episode, we are looking at how a responsible health habit turns into a psychological nightmare in the form of fixation and obsessive fear. We discuss why blood pressure anxiety happens, often in the complete absence of an actual medical issue. Let's talk about how you can start living your life again without being tethered to a machine.---Want to talk about this episode?I'm hanging out in the Disordered Community space:https://disordered.fm/community------What we covered in this episode:The Paradox of Stress and Vitals: How the act of worrying about your blood pressure is exactly what drives the numbers up.The Certainty Trap: Why checking for reassurance only leads to more uncertainty and more frequent checking loops.The ACT Lens: Learning to accept the reality of health uncertainty rather than trying to perform behaviors to make the fear go away.Metacognitive Beliefs: Examining why you think worrying about your vitals is protective and learning to treat these thoughts as mental events.Detached Mindfulness: Using tools like the Blue Tiger exercise to recognize when you are being hooked by a scary thought.Rebound Anxiety: Why it feels reckless and scary to stop checking, and why that feeling is a normal part of the recovery process.Recovery from blood pressure anxiety is not about reaching a perfect, guaranteed number. It is about changing your relationship with your physiology so you can move your energy back toward the things that actually matter in your life.For full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/342Send in a question or comment via text.Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.   Other ways to support my work like buying a book or signing up for a low cost workshop can be found on my website.  None of this is never required, but always appreciated!

Most people watch the Olympics and see the result. Chari Hawkins lived two and a half decades of work to get there, and almost didn't make it. I sit down with US Olympian and world-class heptathlete Chari Hawkins for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually takes to build mental toughness from scratch, compete at the highest level with a broken heart, and figure out who you are when the sport is no longer the whole answer.This is not a highlight reel conversation. Chari is honest about the panic attacks, the identity crises, the years of therapy, the breakdowns under a tent at track meets, and the visualization breakthrough that got her to the 2024 Paris Olympics. She's also sharp, curious, and deeply thoughtful about what sport teaches you about life, not the other way around. If you've ever had to do hard things while scared, this one is for you.What we explore:Why tying your identity to a single role, athlete, title, achievement, sets you up for a crisis the moment it ends.How Chari used a three-word visualization framework to silence the fear before the race that got her to Paris.Why mental toughness is not a personality trait, and what the actual work of building it looks like under pressure.What not winning a World Championship medal gave her that a podium finish never could have.How competition-day nutrition, breathwork, and sleep tools function as a performance system, and what happens when you get them wrong.Chapter:00:00 Intro01:35 Why Competing Can Disconnect You From Yourself10:56 Why She Chose the Heptathlon16:49 How to Learn New Skills Faster Than Everyone Else21:31 Sports Psychology Tools That Actually Work36:28 How to Support Someone After Failure49:25 The “See, Feel, Trust” Performance Technique01:00:10 Parenting, Discipline, and Mental Strength01:12:41 Peak Performance and Age in the Olympics01:24:05 Bouncing Back After a Devastating Moment01:34:46 What Losing Teaches You That Winning Can't01:36:54 What Athletes Eat on Competition Day01:47:08 Balancing Training, Recovery, and Performance01:51:05 A 30-Day Plan to Build Mental Strength02:00:22 Sprint Training Mindset and Workouts02:11:17 Overcoming Injury Fear and Recovery02:17:33 Sleep, Travel, and Mental Recovery Tools02:28:46 Future Goals and Final Lessons About Chari HawkinsChari Hawkins is a US Olympic heptathlete who competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Text and Be HeardA recovery weekend can look ordinary from the outside, but it can hit like a reset on the inside. We're talking about a Day of Recovery in Dallas and what happens when people who usually meet online finally share a room, a meal, a few laughs, and the kind of honesty you can't fake. The takeaway is simple and hard at the same time: connection is not a bonus in addiction recovery, it's the engine. When we feel “Fort Worth it” in our bones, we stop hiding, start listening, and remember we're allowed to enjoy life again. We dig into why emotional sobriety matters as much as staying abstinent. Your EQ is your IQ, and you can't outthink an emotional issue, so recovery has to include reflection, spirituality, and real relationships. We connect that to stress management, mental health, and daily decisions about money, health, and social life. When you know who you are and what you want, stress loses leverage, and peace becomes something you can actually practice. We also keep it real about what these events feel like day to day: travel, routines, good food, and the surprising relief of being around people who get it. If you've been on the fence about a 12-step meeting, a recovery retreat, or a Day of Reflection, let this be your nudge.
