8 Ways to Reduce Stress in the Workplace Episode Summary Workplace stress steals joy, drains productivity, and harms overall well being. In this episode, we break down eight practical strategies employees and leaders can use to reduce stress, rebuild clarity, and create healthier work environments. If left unchecked, stress can impact performance, morale, and mental health, but the right habits and boundaries can change everything. The Hidden Cost of Workplace Stress Stress is one of the biggest barriers to engagement and performance. Millions of workdays are lost each year due to stress, anxiety, and depression. Tight deadlines, heavy workloads, and lack of support are often the biggest contributors. Ignoring stress hurts people and companies. Addressing it helps everyone thrive. 8 Ways to Reduce Workplace Stress 1. Recognize the Early Signs Irritability, worry, trouble sleeping, shallow breathing, and trouble focusing are often the first signals. Understanding how stress shows up emotionally, physically, and behaviorally helps you catch it before it escalates. 2. Identify the Source Is it workload? Expectations? A demanding boss? Interpersonal conflict? Clarity helps you respond more intentionally and set healthier boundaries. 3. Set Clear Boundaries Boundaries communicate what is acceptable and sustainable. Whether it is availability, workload, or working hours, defining your limits reduces overload and protects your well being. 4. Evaluate Life Outside of Work Your routines matter. Poor sleep, rushed mornings, and lack of recovery time amplify workplace stress. Incorporate activities that reset your nervous system like yoga, exercise, or quiet mornings. 5. Practice Mindfulness Staying grounded in the present moment reduces anxiety about yesterday's mistakes or tomorrow's deadlines. Mindfulness, breathwork, and even aromatherapy can help calm the mind and increase clarity. 6. Stay Connected Strong relationships act as a buffer against stress. Talking with trusted friends, colleagues, or family helps you problem solve, feel supported, and maintain perspective. 7. Avoid Unhealthy Coping Habits Alcohol, junk food, caffeine overload, and smoking increase stress long term. Choose healthier outlets like movement, meditation, and nourishing routines to support your mental and physical health. 8. Work Smarter, Not Harder Multitasking increases errors and stress. Focus on single tasking, prioritizing what matters most, and organizing your workload in a manageable way. Efficiency reduces pressure. Why Employers Should Care Healthy employees perform better. Organizations that prioritize well being experience higher morale, stronger retention, and greater productivity. Flexible work options, reasonable expectations, appreciation, and opportunities for connection all reduce workplace stress. Final Takeaway Stress does not have to dominate your work life. When employees understand the signals, identify the root causes, and take proactive steps to manage stress, everyone benefits. When leaders support this effort, workplace culture transforms. Reducing stress is possible – and it starts with awareness, boundaries, connection, and smarter working habits.

Every January starts with fresh goals and big intentions, and then life hits, momentum fades, and by February most people are restarting again. In this New Year's Eve episode, Kelly breaks down what momentum actually is, why it matters, and how to build it in a way that lasts, not with hype or burnout, but with consistent weekly actions that compound over time. He reframes momentum as simple forward motion, the stacking of small and significant wins, and shows how consistency is what creates the “overnight success” people think is luck.Kelly then delivers a practical momentum playbook you can apply immediately: write 15 to 20 goals by hand, create an early win by finishing one task you have been avoiding, and make the Move the Needle list a weekly non negotiable. He challenges work life balance in favor of work life coherence and lays out the habits that keep momentum alive, consistency over intensity, repeatable weekly processes, fewer priorities, tracking small wins, launching early, protecting your calendar, and staying in motion while others pause, so when the year truly starts for everyone else, you are already moving.Key Takeaways: 1. Momentum is not motivation or luck, it is simple forward motion created by consistently completing the right tasks week after week. 2. Small wins matter more than big bursts of effort because progress compounds when you keep stacking completion over time. 3. Consistency will always outperform intensity because extreme effort is temporary but repeatable action builds lasting results. 4. Writing goals down by hand dramatically increases follow through and forces clarity on what actually matters. 5. Momentum accelerates when you create early wins by finishing something you have been putting off. 6. Weekly focus beats daily chaos when you commit to a Move the Needle list and prioritize only the highest impact actions. 7. Processes create momentum while random tasks drain it, because rhythm removes decision fatigue. 8. Reducing priorities increases results since momentum dies when everything feels urgent. 9. Tracking progress builds belief, and belief fuels momentum even when results are still forming. 10. The people who win long term keep moving when others pause, downshifting if needed but never fully stopping. 2026 Title Sponsor

As the year closes, I'm focusing in this episode on BigLaw goals for associates without resorting to platitudes, firm retreat slogans, or vague resolutions that quietly collapse by February. After years as an equity partner in BigLaw, I've seen that the associates who actually move forward are not the ones making dramatic promises to work less, do everything better, or reinvent themselves overnight. Instead, the associates who most often make progress are the ones who focus on taking smaller, actionable steps in specific, visible ways that compound inside a system that is in many ways beyond their control. In this episode, I walk through what that looks like in practice. We talk about why goals built around staffing, hours, or personality change usually fail, and what BigLaw actually rewards instead: reducing friction for partners, exercising judgment, managing up, and being predictable and reliable in ways that matter. I explain concrete behaviors partners notice when evaluating and promoting associates, including how you frame decisions, communicate risk and timing, and signal judgment without overstepping. This is about learning how to operate more effectively inside BigLaw as it exists, not as we wish it did. At a Glance 00:00 Why BigLaw goal-setting can feel hollow and frustrating - even cringey  01:19 Why extreme "everything must change" thinking misses what actually moves careers 02:40 Why goals tied to things you don't control quietly set you up to fail 03:40 The compounding advantage of getting slightly better in visible ways 04:08 Reducing friction: how partners actually experience working with you 04:29 Anticipation and judgment versus stopping exactly at the four corners of the assignment 05:57 Managing up by framing decisions instead of asking open-ended questions 06:44 Predictability, early flags, and why silence is riskier than bad news 08:00 How BigLaw gives you positive feedback without ever saying "good job" 09:17 Why choosing one key incremental improvement beats trying to fix everything 10:06 The practical bottom line for building momentum year over year For Apple Podcasts, click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select "Write a Review."

Procrastination gets a bad reputation. However, in this episode of the I Hate Numbers podcast, we take a different view. We explore why procrastination happens, when it holds us back, and how it can sometimes support better thinking, creativity, and decision-making. Rethinking Procrastination We have all delayed important tasks, even when we know better. Procrastination is usually framed as a weakness or a lack of discipline. However, we challenge that assumption. Instead of guilt, we look at understanding what procrastination is really telling us and how it can sometimes work in our favour. What Procrastination Really Is Procrastination is not laziness. It is a self-regulation issue where we delay action despite knowing there may be consequences. For many creative business owners, it shows up as distraction, avoidance, or over-preparing instead of starting. We explain how procrastination often reflects emotional responses rather than poor work ethic. Once we recognise that, it becomes easier to manage rather than fight it. Why We Procrastinate Procrastination usually has clear causes. Fear of failure can make starting feel overwhelming. Perfectionism can stop progress before it begins. Feeling overloaded with ideas or lacking motivation can also keep us stuck. By identifying which of these applies, we gain control. Awareness is the first step towards changing behaviour. When Procrastination Can Be Useful Not all delay is bad. Sometimes stepping away allows our subconscious to process information. This can lead to better decisions and stronger ideas when we return to the task. Procrastination can also act as a filter. If we keep avoiding something, it may be a signal that the task is not as urgent or important as we think. How We Manage Unhelpful Procrastination When procrastination becomes a barrier, simple strategies help. Breaking work into small steps reduces overwhelm. Starting with just five minutes often builds momentum. Time-blocking work and rest helps maintain focus. Reducing distractions is equally important. Fewer interruptions make it easier to move from intention to action. Keeping Finances from Becoming a Distraction When financial admin adds stress, it fuels procrastination. Using the right tools can remove friction and free up mental space, allowing us to focus on creative and strategic work rather than avoiding it. Key Takeaways Procrastination is not always the enemy. Used wisely, it can support creativity and better decisions. The key is understanding why we delay and responding with practical strategies rather than guilt. Next time procrastination shows up, we encourage you to pause and ask whether it is avoidance or incubation. The answer can change how you move forward.

I remember my resources and support. I hold my dreams with openness and gratitude. I allow them to unfold in their own time. Maybe more is possible than I can imagine.

In this comprehensive training session from the symposium, Tony Gonzalez, Training Director at Fieldpiece, delivers an engaging and practical guide to combustion analysis for HVAC technicians. With 25 years of experience at Fieldpiece—from warehouse worker to training director—Tony brings both technical expertise and real-world application to this 50-minute interactive session focused on the company's CAT 85 combustion analyzer. Tony emphasizes that combustion analysis serves four critical purposes: safety, efficiency, equipment specification verification, and liability protection. He makes a compelling business case for investing in combustion analyzers, noting that preventing just two callbacks or one liability lawsuit can pay for the equipment ten times over. The training walks attendees through the complete process, from properly warming up the analyzer in fresh air (allowing sensors to calibrate to ambient oxygen and zero carbon monoxide) to generating professional PDF reports that can be shared with customers or integrated into work order management systems like ServiceTitan. The session provides detailed guidance on interpreting key measurements, including stack temperature, oxygen percentage, carbon monoxide levels, and draft pressure. Using design parameters from the National Comfort Institute, Tony demonstrates how to diagnose issues by comparing actual readings against acceptable ranges for different furnace types (atmospheric, 80% induced fan, and 90+ percent condensing). He walks through practical troubleshooting scenarios, showing how measurements like high oxygen combined with low stack temperature can point to specific problems like low gas pressure that technicians can then verify and correct. Throughout the presentation, Tony emphasizes proper technique and best practices, from creating test ports at least 12 inches above the inducer fan to the importance of plugging test ports after completion. He also highlights innovative features of Fieldpiece's analyzers, including the hydro cycle pump that eliminates traditional water traps, sensor vault technology that extends sensor life to four years, and built-in wireless connectivity allowing technicians to view measurements on their mobile devices through the Job Link app. Topics Covered: Why perform combustion analysis: Safety verification, efficiency optimization, OEM specification compliance, and liability protection Business benefits: Reducing callbacks, improving OEM relationships, enhancing professional image, and protecting against lawsuits Proper startup procedure: Warming up analyzers in fresh air for accurate oxygen and CO sensor calibration Ambient CO testing: Using combustion analyzers vs. dedicated walk-around detectors for carbon monoxide detection in living spaces Test port installation: Proper placement at least 12 inches above inducer fans and away from 90-degree elbows Key measurements explained: Stack temperature, oxygen percentage, CO PPM, CO air-free, draft pressure, and efficiency calculations Equipment type selection: Choosing correct settings for atmospheric, 80% induced fan, or 90+ percent condensing furnaces Diagnostic interpretation: Using National Comfort Institute parameters to identify issues like excess combustion air or low gas pressure Advanced features: Built-in dual port manometer for gas and static pressure, wireless Job Link app connectivity, and hydro cycle pump technology Report generation: Creating professional PDF reports with company branding for customer documentation and CYA protection Maintenance tips: Checking particle filters, understanding sensor vault technology, and the importance of annual calibration Sensor longevity: Four-year sensor life warranty and field-replaceable sensors without sending equipment for service   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

— Wellness is an embodied, ongoing practice that integrates body, mind, and habits. Recovery and growth arise from personalized, compassionate support, evidence-informed tools, and sustainable daily practices rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Meaningful change is co-created: clients bring lived experience and goals; practitioners offer guidance, skill-building, and accountability. Reducing harm (including alcohol use), restoring balance, and cultivating resilience are interconnected aims best served by holistic interventions that honor individual values, foster agency, and prioritize long-term wellbeing over quick fixes. Learning, reflection, and incremental action transform survival into thriving. Valeria interviews Emma Gardner  — She is a UK-based solopreneur and recovery catalyst, helping individuals reclaim well-being through evidence-based coaching, practical nervous-system tools, and transformative programs.

The holiday season can bring with it many surprises, some of which might come in the form of a holiday bonus. If you got a bonus or are expecting a bonus this time of year, hold off on spending it all right away, because there are a few ways to maximize that cash for some great financial benefits.   Links: Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   A holiday bonus can feel like a windfall—a chance to splurge on gifts, vacations, or luxury items. But before you spend it all, consider this: that extra cash could be the key to building financial security and achieving your long-term goals. Here are five smart strategies to make your holiday bonus work for you.  1. Pay Down High-Interest Debt Credit card balances, personal loans, and even student loans all carry interest rates that can drain finances over time. If you're looking to improve your financial health and free up future income, consider using your bonus, or a portion of it, to pay down some of that debt.  Reducing debt not only lowers your monthly obligations but also improves your credit score and financial flexibility.  Unsure which debt to pay first? Start with the highest-interest debt first for maximum savings. If you have student loans, consider applying extra payments toward those not eligible for forgiveness programs. Even a small lump-sum payment can significantly reduce the total interest you'll pay over the life of the loan.  2. Build or Boost Your Emergency Fund Life is unpredictable—medical bills, car repairs, or sudden job changes can happen anytime, and without a safety net, these surprises can lead to financial stress or debt. An emergency fund acts as a financial cushion, giving you peace of mind and stability when life throws curveballs. Experts recommend saving at least three to six months of living expenses in a separate, easily accessible savings account. This ensures you can cover essentials like housing, utilities, groceries, and transportation without relying on credit cards or loans. This is another great way to use some or all of that bonus money.   3. Invest in Retirement Accounts Your bonus can be a powerful tool to accelerate your retirement savings. Contributing to accounts like a 401(k), IRA, or Roth IRA not only helps secure your financial future but can also offers valuable tax advantages. The earlier you invest, the more you benefit from compound growth—your money earns interest, and that interest earns interest over time.   Look at your retirement contributions and if you haven't maxed them out yet, consider putting a portion or all of your bonus money into your retirement account. Even small, consistent investments can grow significantly over decades, thanks to compounding. And remember—prioritizing retirement savings now means more flexibility and security later.  4. Fund Short-Term Goals Dreaming of a vacation, a home upgrade, or another big-ticket item? Your bonus can help you achieve these goals without relying on credit cards or loans. Using cash instead of borrowing keeps you out of debt and saves you from paying interest later. Start by identifying your top personal goal—whether it's a family trip, a kitchen remodel, or a new tech gadget—and estimate the total cost. Then, earmark a portion of your bonus specifically for that purpose. This approach allows you to enjoy life's luxuries guilt-free while staying financially responsible.  5. Treat Yourself or Others Being thoughtful about how to spend your bonus doesn't mean cutting out all enjoyment for yourself. If you're already a budgeting pro and have all the prior items I mentioned covered, then by all means, celebrate this time of year and feel free to use that bonus to get yourself or your family something special. After all, using it to celebrate yourself, your family, or those close to you can bring forth returns in other ways. Treating yourself can provide returns of self-satisfaction, care and personal healing while treating others can build bonds and create memories that'll last for years to come.   If you have other tips or topics you want us to talk about, email us at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org. Don't forget to like and follow our Making Money Personal Facebook page, and check out our sponsor, Triangle Credit Union, on Instagram and LinkedIn to share your thoughts.  Thanks for listening to today's Money Tip Tuesday.

Live recording of the fortnightly podcast Design Systems WTF (back for season two!), where Luke Murphy and Michelle Chin attempt to combat all the amazing wtf in design systems. In each episode, they answer a single question around design system troubles with a Q&A from the live audience.Time to get spicy... One of the big promises of the hype of design systems was that it would reduce organizational and product complexity by providing efficient, replicable ways of doing things. Now that we've bedded in, its time to ask - how much do design systems actually reduce complexity? Do they just reorganize and make complexity more palatable?Show notesProduct Deep Dive on Systematizing your DocumentationMichelle's article on structuring your design systems

In this interview, we explore Professor Andy Lane's research on how combat sports like boxing, judo, karate and kickboxing can help young people develop emotional regulation, self-control and resilience, while reducing violent behaviour.

In this incredibly powerful interview, I sit down with Amelia, who recovered from anorexia, severe OCD, and suicidal ideation after spending 7 years in the UK mental health system. She shares the brutal reality of inpatient treatment, being misdiagnosed, having her autonomy stripped away, and ultimately recovering completely on her own terms. Now 20 years old, she's travelling the world - something that would have been impossible in her eating disorder. This episode is essential for anyone stuck in the system, anyone told they'll never recover, and anyone who needs proof that full recovery IS possible.Key Quotes from the Episode:

In this episode, I respond to Elliott's question about children who strongly resist play therapy from the very beginning and parents who eventually give up and terminate early. I explain why early resistance is not a red flag for CCPT failure, but often a clear indicator of high anxiety, a deep need for control, and a child who desperately needs the therapeutic process. The real issue isn't the child's resistance—it's whether parents were fully prepared for it before therapy ever began. I walk through how to front-load expectations during the initial parent consultation by explaining the phases of therapy, normalizing resistance, and equipping parents with scripts for what to say and do when their child refuses to come, escalates, or tries to avoid sessions. When parents understand that giving in reinforces anxiety and avoidance, they're far more likely to stay the course. High attrition is almost always a communication problem, and when parents are prepared, children are given the consistency they need to work through their anxiety and reach natural termination.

If you're craving a more intentional, streamlined and sustainable way to run your business next year, this episode is for you. Anna introduces a new way of thinking about how your business works behind the scenes - and what it takes to design your business operating system for 2026. Key Takeaways Your early business setup wasn't designed to support where you are now—your operating system must evolve. Someone else's blueprint can't account for your life, energy, responsibilities or goals. A solid business operating system has three parts: an intentional business model, authentic marketing and resonant sales, and simple systems. Reducing complexity and decision fatigue is essential for consistency and calm in 2026. Small strategic tweaks create more clarity and space than big dramatic overhauls. Join the free January workshop to design your Solopreneur Operating System at intentionalexpert.com.

In this insightful episode, we explore the concept of parental accommodation — the well-intentioned ways family members and loved ones may unknowingly reinforce OCD behaviours. Drawing from the research of Professor Eli Liebowitz (Yale) and real-world clinical experience, the hosts unpack how accommodation develops, why it's so hard to stop, and how families can begin to make meaningful change.From checking, reassuring, or adapting routines “just to keep the peace,” to facing meltdowns, fear, or guilt when setting limits — this conversation goes deep into what it means to hold boundaries with compassion. You'll hear about ERP therapy, the SPACE model, and practical ways clinicians and parents can work together to reduce accommodation and empower recovery.

Today's guest is John Richardson Jr., a long time advocate for metabolic approaches to cancer prevention and wellness. John has spent decades researching nutritional compounds, historical case studies, and global health patterns that suggest many cancers may be influenced by diet, environment, and enzyme biology rather than being purely random or inevitable. His perspective challenges conventional thinking, but he lays it out with clarity, real world examples, and practical steps anyone can begin exploring. Our conversation centers on the idea that certain foods and enzymes may play a role in interrupting abnormal cell growth. We discuss cultures with remarkably low cancer rates, what they eat, and how their lifestyle habits compare to the modern Western diet. John also breaks down the biochemistry in plain language and explains why amygdalin rich foods, enzyme support, fasting, and metabolic awareness matter in his framework. Whether you fully agree with his conclusions or simply want a broader understanding of metabolic health, this episode will make you think. Key Takeaways: Many traditional cultures with low cancer rates share common habits: nutrient dense plant foods, clean environments, social connection, and foods containing natural amygdalin. Amygdalin rich foods interact with enzymes differently in healthy versus abnormal cells, which is part of the metabolic argument for prevention. Reducing refined sugar and processed foods is one of the simplest ways to support healthier metabolic function. Gentle cooking methods, improved oxygenation, and strategic fasting may help shift internal conditions in ways that support immune resilience. Fears around fruit seeds and amygdalin often come from headlines rather than nuanced biochemistry. Individual tolerance still matters, which is why medical guidance is important. Controversy exists because large scale randomized trials have not been done, and financial incentives often shape research priorities. Practitioners who use metabolic protocols typically combine dietary changes, enzyme support, fasting, and complementary therapies rather than relying on a single compound. Who Should Tune In: This episode is for anyone who wants a wider lens on health, especially those curious about the relationship between food, metabolism, and long term wellness. If you're exploring preventive strategies, wanting to understand alternative perspectives, or simply trying to make more informed choices about how you fuel your body, this conversation will give you a clearer framework and plenty to think about. It's not about fear or quick fixes. It's about approaching your health with curiosity, awareness, and a willingness to challenge old assumptions. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Stephen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to get your thoughts on a supplement called Protandim — a product marketed to reduce oxidative stress by activating Nrf2, support cellular repair, and promote detoxification and gene regulation. The company claims it's backed by dozens of peer-reviewed studies, but most of the research has been done in animals or cell cultures, and the few human studies show mixed results. Online opinions seem polarized — some call it a marketing gimmick, while others swear by it — so it's been difficult to find balanced, evidence-based perspectives. I'd love to hear your assessment — whether you've had any experience with it in your practice, what results (if any) you've observed, and whether you'd consider it a science-supported supplement worth considering.              Sarah: Hey doc! I've been rebounding/vibration plate/dry brushing consistently for over 2 years now. I also sauna once every week or so. When Im rebounding I notice that I get a pain in my left collar bone. I always massage the area before and after. I thought after rebounding for this long the pain might go away. Its not so painful but its uncomfortable and im wondering if this is anything to be concerned about? My partner recently tried rebounding and he said he felt pain also. We've done a bunch of detoxes, CBO, mold etc, both walk alot and exercise and generally pretty healthy.                                   Bryan: Hi Dr. C, I was wondering if you had any thoughts or opinions on Kratom. I've heard you discuss nicotine, cannabis and various other psychedelics on your podcast and their "potential" medicinal benefits but never heard you mention Kratom. Do you have any opinions on this plant? More harm than good? Just curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks,                                                                               Anthony: Hi Doctor Cabral, THANK YOU for all you do. Our 12 year old son seems to have red bags under his eyes more often than we think he should. He also has a small patch of warts on his upper forehead, a slightly bigger wart on the top of his foot and a small patch of bumps on his upper forearm hear his elbow. We had his blood work done taken and it came back with no issues. We also had a food sensitivity test done = IgE Allergy High is cashew, flax seed, green pea, lima bean, navy bean, and his IgG Sensitivity highs being turkey, with many moderate foods on both the allergy and sensitivity sides. Just wondering what your input would be. Thank you Anthony                                                                  Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I truly resonate with your philosophy of addressing the root cause rather than masking symptoms. I've listened to all your podcasts and read your book, and I really appreciate your holistic approach. I'm also an IHP2. My question is about blood sugar imbalances. Most natural health books I've read on this topic tend to focus on symptom management through low-carb diets. Do you have a book you'd recommend that explores how to restore cell membrane function and rebalance this dynamic at the deepest level? Thank you for your time and for all the work you do.                          Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3592 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
