The Journey to Becoming | Self Improvement, Productivity, Lower Stress
Are you feeling both nervous and excited about stepping into something new? That mix of emotions—what I like to call being “nercivited”—isn't a sign of weakness. It's actually a sign of growth. In this episode of Overwhelmed to Overcomer, we explore the power of eustress—the “good stress” that motivates us to grow, take courageous steps, and walk in God's purpose for our lives. We'll look at how anticipation (whether it's starting a new job, planning a vacation, trying a new workout, or pursuing a new relationship) can stretch us in healthy ways. More importantly, we'll dive into what Scripture says about stepping into these moments with faith. Through Joshua 1:9 and Joshua 3:5, we see God's call to be strong and courageous, and His promise to do amazing things when we walk in courageous obedience. By the end of this episode, you'll discover how to: Reframe “nervous energy” as a tool for spiritual and personal growth Step into new opportunities with courage, not fear Trust God's presence as you prepare for His amazing work in your life If you've ever wondered how to turn your stress into strength, this conversation will encourage and equip you to lean into God's stretching seasons with joy and confidence.
Guest: Dia Bondi Guest Bio: Dia Bondi is a Communications Catalyst for high-impact people. In her private coaching and programs, she works with C-level leaders, VC-backed founders, and ambitious professionals, helping them find their voice and lead with it. Her workshops and talks are hosted by corporations including Quartz, Salesforce, Google's X-team, and Dropbox. In global sport, she helped Rio de Janeiro secure the 2016 Summer Olympics. After attending auctioneering school for fun, she translated the techniques she learned into a program that prepares ambitious professionals, and especially women, to ask for more and leave nothing on the table, called Ask Like an Auctioneer. She's been featured on CNBC Make It, Forbes, and Fast Company. Her book, Ask Like an Auctioneer: How to Ask for More and Get It, is available now. Key Points: Dia's Backstory & Career Path Started her career in fitness, where she loved helping people feel powerful and embodied. Then, transitioned into training and development (professional development) after college. She discovered her passion for storytelling and communication while observing a workshop for finance leaders. Dia founded Dia Bondy Communications in 2009 to help leaders and VC-backed founders communicate effectively in high-stakes moments. "Ask Like an Auctioneer" Concept Inspired by her side work as a fundraising auctioneer. The key principle: ask big enough to get a “no”, because a “no” signals you've reached the upper limit of what's possible. In business, people often limit their asks based on what they think they can get, leaving money and opportunity on the table. Instead of selling to the first yes, push further to uncover maximum value. Overcoming Fear of Asking Fear of rejection keeps people from asking boldly. Many assume rejection damages relationships, but often it doesn't. Leaders should teach teams that discomfort (the Zofo—Zone of Freaking Out) is a signal of courage and potential growth. Reframe rejection: it's information about value, not a judgment of personal worth. Lessons from Auctioneering for Business & Sales · Price = a reflection of value, not worth. The same item can sell for vastly different amounts depending on the audience. · Know your “reserve.” Like an auctioneer's minimum acceptable price, know your bottom line before asking. · People are irrational. Decisions are often emotional, even in data-driven environments—so storytelling is critical. Four Types of Asks That Drive Growth 1. Money – dollars, budgets, contracts. 2. Influence – visibility, access to networks, platforming yourself. 3. Authority – positioning yourself to make important decisions. 4. Balance – aligning deals and clients with the kind of work you actually want. Why People Struggle with Asking Fear of rejection. Lack of clarity on what to ask for and when to ask. Sometimes people make asks that are too small, too vague, or to the wrong audience. Framework for a Strategic Ask (first 4 of 6 steps) Define your main concrete goal. Identify the next big move toward that goal. Determine the ask that advances that move. Ensure the ask is big enough to risk rejection. Storytelling Framework: “Blocker Buster” What your audience wants. What's blocking them from achieving it? How do you remove the blockers? Your ask (to move them forward). Big Takeaways Asking boldly is a skill that can be learned. The most powerful ask live in the Zofo—the zone of freaking out. Rejection is not failure; it's valuable feedback about what the other side values. Asking strategically, with courage and clarity, maximizes opportunities for growth, influence, and alignment.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya explores how high performers can stop guessing about their health and start listening with precision. Guest Tata Rarin—the “world's only health detective”—blends engineering logic, energy work, and bioenergetic testing to translate body signals into clear action. We cover practical self-awareness tools (Vipassana basics, body scanning, breath focus, single-word anchors like “knowing”), how to use data without losing intuition, and why self-awareness is a performance tool—not a soft skill. If you're chasing goals and flirting with burnout, this episode shows how to turn awareness into a measurable advantage. About the Guest : Tata Rarin helps founders and high achievers decode health and performance by combining bioenergetic testing, digital muscle testing, and mindfulness practices (including 12+ years of Vipassana). Her approach turns subtle body cues into decisions that improve sleep, stress, focus, and strategic execution. Key Takeaways: Self-awareness is a performance lever—it improves choices, negotiations, and recovery, reducing avoidable mistakes. Start simple: choose a single anchor word (e.g., “knowing”), repeat for 10–20 seconds to re-center during busy days. Use breath awareness (anapanasati) and brief body scans to detect early signs of imbalance before they escalate. For beginners, body sensations are easier to observe than thoughts; build the skill daily in short reps. Pair metrics (sleep, HRV, activity trackers) with felt experience; numbers reveal blind spots high achievers often miss. Morning routine tip: listen to a short, positive audio before messages or meetings to set focus and reduce reactivity. Continuous observation creates choice under pressure—notice bias, adjust state, then act. Awareness practices support business outcomes: clearer thinking, fewer errors, better energy allocation. Reframe “listening” from passive to strategic—it's how you prevent burnout and sustain output. Build the habit: small, daily reps (>21 days) make self-awareness automatic in high-stakes moments.

October always hits different. The pressure to "lock in" for Q4, finish strong, and sprint to December is everywhere. But if you're already working weekends and drowning in Slack pings, that advice just adds weight.

Husbands — is your tone tearing down the very people you're called to love?It's not just what you say — it's how you say it. In this video, I'm sharing the 5 tone shifts that changed everything for me: the way I talk to my wife, the atmosphere in my home, and the way I lead as a man of God.I used to snap out of exhaustion, not anger — but my tone was still lethal. Maybe you've been there: your wife or kids flinch at your words, even when you didn't mean harm. That's when I realized: your tone sets the temperature of your home.
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.In this Stoic Quotes episode, Benny reflects on the words of Seneca from On Providence, section 4:“You are unfortunate in my judgment, for you have never been unfortunate. You have passed through life with no antagonist to face you. No one will know what you were capable of, not even yourself.”Seneca reminds us that trials and obstacles are not punishments but opportunities. Without resistance, we never learn our limits or discover our inner strength. For the Stoics, hardship is the training ground for virtue, a test that sharpens self-knowledge and resilience.Benny explores how this insight connects to the Socratic principle of “know yourself,” the Stoic embrace of adversity as a teacher, and the mindset shift that transforms obstacles from burdens into opportunities for growth. From athletes seeking worthy opponents to Marcus Aurelius' reminder that “the obstacle is the way,” Stoicism teaches us that challenges reveal what we are truly capable of.Practical ReflectionsWhen facing obstacles, pause and ask: What is this teaching me about myself?Reframe difficulties as tests of character rather than punishments of fate.Remember past struggles you overcame; you are stronger than you imagine.For more, check out this related article on overcoming adversity:https://viastoica.com/stoic-freedomAnd if you're looking for more Stoic sayings, visit viastoica.com, where you'll find hundreds of quotes with full references to the original texts:https://viastoica.com/stoic-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/seneca-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/marcus-aurelius-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/epictetus-quotesMake sure to subscribe for more Stoic Quotes episodes every Friday, as well as our Tuesday interviews and longer discussions.Support the showhttps://viastoica.comhttps://viastoica.com/stoic-life-coachinghttps://viastoica.com/benny-vonckenhttps://x.com/ViaStoicainfo@viastoica.comProduced by: badmic.com

Michelle starts by naming the experience so many listeners know well: the panicky, out-of-control feeling around “forbidden” foods that seems to prove you're an addict. She traces where that story came from—the early 2000s brain-scan headlines—and why “lights up the reward pathways” doesn't equal addiction (music, hugs, laughter, and puppy greetings light them up, too). From there, she walks through what the evidence does show:Dopamine ≠ addiction: Dopamine is about motivation and learning (“That was satisfying; remember that”), not proof of a hijacked brain. Drug-induced dopamine spikes are extreme and rewiring; food-related responses are moderate and self-limiting.What the rat studies actually found: Binge-like behavior appears when access to sugar is restricted and then reintroduced; with free access, intake levels out. In humans, dieting and moralizing foods replicate this deprivation-binge pattern.Addiction criteria don't fit food: Medical addiction involves tolerance, withdrawal syndromes, persistent use despite harm, and inability to cut down. Systematic reviews report that foods don't meet those criteria. Food is also essential—abstinence-based models don't translate.Michelle then maps the very human reasons it feels like addiction:Restriction & deprivation (physical and mental) create scarcity, obsession, and urgency.Emotional reliance on food as a primary coping tool can look compulsive—but it's coping, not character failure.Learned urgency/“last-supper” eating when a food is allowed only during a “slip.”She also names the harm of the addiction label: added shame, escalation to stricter restriction (which worsens the cycle), and attention pulled away from the real drivers—diet mentality, unmet needs, and nervous-system dysregulation.From there, the episode offers a compassionate, evidence-aligned path forward:Lift the ban with unconditional permission to eat (expect an initial “pendulum swing”; it settles as scarcity fades).Practice food neutrality (take the moral charge out of foods).Pursue satisfaction so you can actually register “enough.”Support your nervous system (capacity first; choice follows).Add coping tools beyond food (connection, creativity, movement, rest).Reframe the story: from “I'm addicted” to “Restriction is making me feel out of control; my body is protecting me.”Stay ConnectedIf this episode helped, follow/subscribe so you don't miss the rest of the series.

In this episode, Christine coaches Jessica, a multi-passionate entrepreneur who struggles to follow through on her vision. Jessica shares how she often throws herself into new ideas with enthusiasm, only to lose momentum when life shifts or self-doubt creeps in. Although she feels deeply called to help mothers raising children in challenging family systems, she wrestles with limiting beliefs about whether people actually want what she offers. Christine helps Jessica reframe her so-called “career ADHD” as a strength—multi-passionate creativity—and uncovers the deeper fears that keep her from committing fully to her dream. They discuss the power of belief, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how to align her entrepreneurial mindset with truth, love, and service. If you've ever second-guessed your calling, started projects you didn't finish, or doubted whether your work really matters, this coaching session will inspire you to release self-sabotage and step forward with clarity and confidence. Consider/Ask Yourself Do you start projects with excitement but struggle to finish them? Have you labeled yourself as “scattered” or “inconsistent” instead of seeing your creativity as a gift? Are you holding back from your dream because you fear people won't want what you have to offer? How might changing your beliefs about yourself and your audience shift the results you see? Key Insights and A-HAs Being multi-passionate isn't a problem—it's part of the entrepreneurial spirit. Our beliefs shape our outcomes: if we believe there's no audience, our energy reflects that. Consistency in creating and sharing builds trust, especially with sensitive topics like parenting and family. Fear of failure often shows up as “not finishing,” but true growth comes from committing fully. Relief, not resistance, signals alignment with truth. How to Deepen the Work Identify one limiting belief that's draining your momentum. Write down evidence that challenges it. Clarify who your “ideal client” is and create content as if you're speaking directly to them. Reframe social media or marketing as opportunities to build trust rather than chores. Normalize the ups and downs of entrepreneurship—it's part of the journey, not proof you're failing.

Sometimes life looks abundant from the outside, but inside you may feel numb or empty. This episode explores why that happens and how to rediscover sparks of aliveness. I've been in that place where everything looked good on paper - my calendar was full, my family cared for, my fridge stocked - yet inside I felt hollow. It's confusing and even scary to admit that emptiness when you think you should feel grateful. But that ache isn't a flaw, it's an invitation. In this episode, I share stories and practices that helped me follow sparks of joy back to a life that feels alive again. Action Steps: - Pause and breathe: Notice that emptiness isn't a sign you're broken, but a signal to pay attention. - Reframe fulfillment: Recognize that abundance outside doesn't guarantee fullness inside. - Notice sparks: Watch for small moments that stir joy, then let yourself follow them. - Try simple practices: Step barefoot in the grass, sing in your car, or sip tea without distractions. - Say no when needed: Protect your energy by releasing what doesn't feel aligned.

What if fear wasn't holding you back—but guiding you forward? Leaning into discomfort is often the first step toward unlocking your true potential. In this episode of The Manifested Podcast, Kathleen Cameron redefines fear as more than just an obstacle—it's a compass pointing toward growth and transformation. She shares how her own journey, from bold career changes to choosing sobriety, taught her that fear signals progress, not retreat. By the end, you'll see fear not as something to resist but as an invitation to step into your next chapter. If you've been feeling stuck, uncertain, or on the verge of change, this episode is your reminder that fear might be the very sign you've been waiting for. Tips in this episode: Fear is often misunderstood as a barrier or warning sign, but it's actually indicative of personal growth and expansion. Discomfort is useful and necessary for progress; comfort often leads to stagnation and unhappiness. By recognizing fear as an element of the creative process, one can use it to push beyond current limitations and achieve higher states of being. Confronting fear requires reframing one's mindset and self-talk, transforming fear into excitement and anticipation of growth.

If you've ever wrestled with pace, purpose, and pressure, this part-one conversation will meet you right where you are.Episode Highlights .

Faith is for uncertainty—keep moving your feet while you pray. . Chase your legacy first, then let your actions align with it daily. .

We all get embarrassed. This episode looks at why it happens and how to care less when it suddenly hits. You will hear a quick story from a young guy in 6th grade, then we muse for a few minutes about what embarrassment is doing to you every time you feel it.Most embarrassment lives in your head and softens as soon as you zoom out. And as time goes on you probably don't even remember it correctly! Or maybe you do. Seems like the easiest things to recall are the ones that make you cringe the most.Think of embarrassment as a social alarm. Your brain is predicting how others might react and asking you to adjust. Some people seem immune and others freeze at a coffee order, but the difference is usually how much weight you give to these imagined opinions. When you give yourself a break, you usually find out it's not that big of a deal.There are simple ways to practice this. Reframe the timeline and ask what you will think in a week or in a year. Laugh at yourself. Apologize when you should. Try small risks on purpose to build confidence. Order first. Publish that post. Speak up just once in the meeting. Each small rep makes the next moment easier.Embarrassment also changes with age. Kids don't care. Teens collect bold mistakes. Adults hide their misfires. Many older adults stop caring as much. The feeling is universal, but it is temporary and it rarely defines you. Most people are focused on their own lives, not your last awkward moment.If you have some cringe, share it. It helps to see how common this is and it turns anything heavy into a hilarious moment. Be kind to yourself, be good to your people, and keep moving. No one is keeping score except you

Send us a textIn this bonus episode, we continue our weekly series, reading and discussing excerpts from my new book, Reframe the Moment. It's super fun and appropriate because each essay grew out of a Jen is Zen episode, so why not bring it full circle. Today we talk about Chapter 3 - Life's a Rollercoaster, and it's appropriate because I know I often find myself comparing where I'm at on my journey and questioning if I will ever be "successful" if someone else "has ALL of the success." Video is available on YouTube, my website, and socials (I think y'all know how rare that is for me! I guess I'm turning over a new leaf!).

SummaryTrumpeter Anthony Hervey and pianist Sean Mason unpack the soul-and-blues core behind their duo chemistry—why a Monk program belongs in an intimate room, how Hervey's “Du-Rag” reframes ragtime language for now, and why Mason's “Open Your Heart” asks players and listeners to lead with emotion.

Today's episode of Sell With Authority is a special encore with one of our rock solid awesome guests — Tom Martin, Founder and President of Converse Digital. For more than 30 years, Tom's been helping startups, agencies, and global brands revolutionize how they sell. He's the author of The Invisible Sale, creator of the Painless Prospecting program, and a keynote speaker you've likely seen at Build a Better Agency, Content Marketing World, Inbound, and more. Tom is on a mission to help agencies ditch pushy sales tactics and instead lean into persuasion, influence, and trust. His latest framework, Life's a Pitch, is a masterclass in why most pitches fail — and how to craft ones that win. I didn't want to have this conversation without Hannah Roth — Predictive's Director of Strategy and our in-house Mad Scientist. Hannah works alongside our clients every day refining positioning, sharpening pitches, and leading experiments inside our Predictive Lab. Tom is back joining Hannah and I to help you reframe your pitch process — and win more right-fit clients. What you will learn in this episode: Why 90% of your pitch is forgotten within 2 days — and how to break that pattern for good The real difference between trust and credibility and how to architect both in your pitch Why most agencies still “show up and throw up” and how to change that The neuroscience and cognitive load theory that reveal why your pitch probably isn't landing How to build a “yellow brick road” your prospects will want to follow straight to yes Practical ways to reduce risk for your client How to avoid flashy slides that distract — and lead with substance that sticks in their minds instead Resources: Website: https://conversedigital.com/ LinkedIn Personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommartinjr/ LinkedIn Business: https://www.linkedin.com/company/conversedigital/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomMartin Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConverseDigital Agency Business Development Resources: https://conversedigital.com/agency-business-development-resources Painless Prospecting Newsletter: https://conversedigital.com/painless-sales-prospecting Building Connections That Matter: LinkedIn Sales Prospecting Strategies For Introverts How To Sell Your Agency's Services Even When You Hate Selling
Retention is about relationships. But most donor communications either feel too rushed or too robotic. This session is about doing things differently with the power of AI, done responsibly.We're sitting down with three organizations that are using AI to help them show up better for their donors: writing magnetic messaging, personalizing with care + actually deepen connection. We'll talk about how they're saving time, scaling touchpoints, and staying true to their voice along the way.You'll hear the tools they're using, the prompts that are working, and where they've drawn the line on what not to automate. It's real talk on using AI to build trust… not just create more output.Episode HighlightsRetention as a Love Language (05:14)Building Lasting Relationships with Donors (10:38)Using AI to Build Trust (15:54)Ethics in Storytelling and Communication (21:23)Practical Tools and Workflows for Retention (33:36)Episode Shownotes: www.weareforgood.com/episode/649ImpactUp: PAUSE is here
Send us a textIf you've ever felt awkward saying no - to a client, a colleague, or even a friend, this episode will be a relief. I'm joined by communication specialist Colleen Kavanagh, who unpacks how to deliver a firm no without triggering defensiveness, people-pleasing, or creating more work for yourself.We dig into “can-do” language - a practical way of flipping the conversation from roadblocks to options. Instead of the reflex combo of “Unfortunately… I'm sorry… I can't… due to…”, Colleen shows how to lead with what I can do, then position the boundary with confidence. The result is less pushback, a calmer tone, and stronger trust.Colleen walks through live reframes you can use today: returning sale items, rescheduling requests, and that dreaded airline-style announcement. We also talk about when empathy is essential (and when it isn't), how to edit an email so it lands better, and why “customers” include your internal stakeholders too. Colleen shares a council case study where tightening everyday language lifted Net Promoter Score by 75% across 1,600 surveys - proof this isn't fluffy, it's commercial.If you lead a team, handle clients, work cross-functionally, or simply want to protect your time without feeling guilty, this one's for you.Key takeaways:People are more interested in what I can do than what I can't. When I lead with options and next steps, the “no” lands as professional and helpful.Ditch trigger words. “Unfortunately”, “I'm sorry” “I can't” “due to” spike emotion and invite arguments. They're habitual, not helpful.Reframe in a single move. Put the positive offer first, then the boundary: “I can offer Wednesday 8:30–10:30 or Thursday afternoon. I'm not available Wednesday midday due to a prior commitment.”Use empathy when the person needs to feel seen. Mirror back the facts and pressure points before you offer the path forward. Trust is built on reliability. If I'm starting emails with “Sorry for the delay…”, I've got a reliability opportunity. Communicate work-in-progress updates before people need to chase.Internal audiences are customers too. Clear, can-do language with colleagues improves influence and personal brand just as much as it does with clients.Connect with ColleenLinkedIn WebsiteDOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNER - https://becchappell.com.au/content-planner/Instagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

Ever brushed off your child’s whining, anxiety, or fussy eating as “just a phase”? What if those small annoyances are quietly shaping big challenges for your family’s wellbeing? In this episode, Justin and Kylie unpack the Region Beta Paradox — the psychology behind why we ignore little problems until they explode — and reveal how parents can catch the signs early, stay regulated, and protect their family’s mental health. KEY POINTS What the Region Beta Paradox is (and why it’s a parenting game-changer).How “little niggles” like whining or sibling squabbles can erode family harmony.The danger of waiting until problems hit crisis point.Why self-regulation and self-care aren’t optional for parents.Practical cues to know when a child’s behaviour needs professional attention.

This week, we explore why asking for help feels like admitting defeat and how this mindset keeps us isolated when we could be achieving breakthrough results through collaboration.The Big Question: Why do I treat asking for help like admitting defeat?The 4 Key Blocks:Fear of being a burden: Remember that people generally want to help, and healthy relationships require reciprocity—let others contribute to you too.Not wanting unwanted advice: Set clear context about what you need—processing time, brainstorming, validation, or specific solutions.Feeling like failure: Challenge the core belief that your value comes from figuring everything out independently. Ask yourself: Do I want to be right or successful?Concern about others' perceptions: Reframe asking for help as co-creation and inclusion. The strongest leaders collaborate and show vulnerability.Remember: Asking for help isn't defeat—it's how you create something bigger than you could build alone. You deserve support, and collaboration leads to breakthrough results.Key Takeaway: The sum is greater than the parts. Stop treating independence as strength and start treating co-creation as the path to your best work.Resources for this Episode: Uncompete by Ruchika T. MahotraHave a question for the show?

Our dear friend Christal Cherry and Founder + CEO of The Board Pro and F3 Fabulous Female Fundraisers is back for a third time—yes, a true 3-peat in podcast appearances—bringing her wealth of experience in transforming nonprofit boards into vibrant, engaged communities.
Sarah Keohane Williamson, CEO of FCLT Global and coauthor of The CEO's Guide to the Investment Galaxy, offers a disciplined primer for executives operating at the intersection of corporate strategy and capital markets. Drawing from her background in investment banking, government, consulting, and asset management, she explains why “investors are not a single audience,” how their incentives shape corporate outcomes, and what leaders must do differently to secure durable capital and strategic flexibility. Williamson pushes back on conventional wisdom about investor relations, replacing it with practical routines and priorities. She emphasizes a consulting-rooted discipline, “Start with the answer”, as a communications principle, and translates it into a concrete playbook for CEOs who cannot afford ambiguity when describing long-term bets. She underscores that “quarterly calls are important, but they're often dominated by the sell side,” and CEOs should deliberately allocate their limited time toward building trust with long-term owners and anchor shareholders. Key takeaways include: Map the owners. “Who actually owns your company? Who makes the decisions about those shares?” Owner types—retail, index funds, active managers, hedge funds—differ in incentives and time horizons, and executives should treat that map as a strategic input. Build an investor strategy like a customer strategy. Decide which kinds of capital the company needs, why, and how to attract and retain those investors. Use a long-term roadmap. Make risky investments intelligible by explaining milestones that link short-term actions to enduring value, and “don't be afraid to update the roadmap when the assumptions change.” Translate investor signals into operational choices. Avoid reflexive short-term fixes, like cutting R&D to meet a quarter, without measuring the long-term cost. Treat disclosure and dialogue as governance tools. Clarity about ownership, voting, and incentives reduces misalignment and reputational risk. Reframe consultancy input for execution. “The hard part is not the analysis, the hard part is making it happen inside the organization.” This episode equips CEOs, CFOs, and board members with a practical framework for raising capital, defending strategic bets, and managing shareholder composition. It reframes investor engagement from a compliance exercise into a core discipline of strategy and governance.
In this riveting interview, Dr. Michelle Peticolas—sociologist, award-winning filmmaker, international best-selling author, and transformational life coach—shares her extraordinary journey through complex grief, healing, and spiritual rebirth. She reveals how personal loss cracked open the door to her soul's purpose, leading her from the heartbreak of betrayal and her mother's poignant final moments to a life devoted to helping high-achieving women transmute pain into power. With 18 years of experience in coaching, hospice care, and storytelling, Michelle's insights are not just profound—they're life-altering. If you've ever faced loss or longed for deeper meaning, this conversation will stir your heart and illuminate your path.Grab Step into Your Brilliance, compiled by Rebecca Hall Gruyter: https://amzn.to/4mf8rEW

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Glen Lubbert, CEO and co-founder of Stamina Lab, about a solution-focused approach that starts with what's already working. Glen breaks down how to reframe burnout as a signpost, swap shame for evidence-based self-efficacy, and design many paths to the same outcome—focus, energy, and resilience—without white-knuckling your habits. Listeners learn practical prompts (“What do I want instead?” and “What difference will that make?”) and 24-hour micro-actions to build momentum that lasts across real-life constraints like travel, family, and shifting schedules. Direct, actionable, and grounded in coaching science—not quick fixes. About the guest : Glen Lubbert is the co-founder & CEO of Stamina Lab, a health innovation studio integrating solution-focused coaching, mindfulness, and science-backed behavior strategies. A former Division I athlete, performance coach, and entrepreneur, he has collaborated with leading institutions and teams to help people create sustainable change. Key takeaways: Start from strengths: ask, “What's already working?” This shifts attention from problems to usable resources you can scale. Use the two core prompts: “What do I want instead?” and “What difference will that make—for me and others?” Translate the vision into one small action in the next 24 hours; repetition builds self-efficacy and identity (“I am the person who…”). Routines are tools, not rules. When life breaks your routine, choose an alternative path (deep breath, mindful walk, stairs at the airport) that still serves the outcome. Reframe burnout as information, not failure; noticing is progress. Then act on a smallest-next-step that restores focus or energy. Swap guilt/shame loops for evidence collection: list what stopped you from going further off-track (e.g., half a pint, not a full pint). Anchor motivation by asking “What difference will that make?” until it connects to meaningful values (presence, creativity, loved ones). Expect many valid paths to the same river—flexibility beats perfectionism for long-term adherence.

Learn how to expose weaknesses in your competitor's solution, position your product as the smarter choice, and win more meetings on cold calls.
Have you ever found yourself halfway through a concert, dinner party, or even a family gathering and thought, “OK, I'm ready to go now,” even though you're having a good time? You're not alone, and it doesn't mean you're antisocial or ungrateful. In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with Jodi Wellman, a positive psychology expert and TEDx speaker, to unpack the surprising psychology behind wanting to leave events early.Together, they explore why both introverts and extroverts can feel this way, introducing concepts like “experience efficiency” and “memory optimization.” Learn how our brains process peak moments, why leaving on a high note can actually enhance our memories, and why you don't have to “get your money's worth” by staying until the very end. Key takeaways: Find out why some people feel “full” on fun faster and don't need to stay until the end to enjoy an event. Reframe early exits as a smart way to manage energy, time, and joy—without guilt. Learn practical language for confidently setting boundaries when you're ready to go, without shame. Discover how even the most outgoing people can feel “peopled out.” If you've ever snuck out of a party, left a holiday dinner before dessert, or wondered why you plan your exit before you even arrive — this episode is for you. “And yes, there is a purpose to the dinner and the tasting menu that goes all the way to the end. And yes, of course, we rationally know that. And yet, those of us who are experience minimalists are still OK to say, I got my fill. I got the appetizer and I had part of the entree. And admittedly, not many of us are kicking back our chairs and leaving halfway through dinner. But metaphorically, this works. When we know we've had our fill and we feel truly good that, wow, I got the songs I needed and wanted or look, I did most of the hike and I don't have to get to the top. I'm cool to go back. I feel good about myself. That's the thing. Are you having a good time and do you want to end on a high? That is, to me, sound judgment about living a life worth living.” ~Jodi Wellman, MAPP Our guest, Jodi Wellman, is the founder of Four Thousand Mondays, a speaker, author, and assistant instructor in the Master of Applied Positive Psychology program at the University of Pennsylvania. Her book, "You Only Die Once: How to Make It to the End with No Regrets," made Adam Grant's Summer Reading List and was a “Top 3 Psychology Book of 2024” by the Next Big Idea Club (curated by Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Adam Grant, and Dan Pink). Jodi has been featured in The New York Times, Oprah Daily, Fast Company, CNBC, Forbes, Psychology Today, The Los Angeles Times, and more. Jodi's TEDx talk is called How Death Can Bring You Back to Life; with over 1.3 million views, it is the 14th most-watched TEDx talk released in 2022, out of 15,900!

In this candid coaching session, Christine works with Andi, a coach who left a stable engineering career to pursue her true calling—but is now questioning whether to keep going or retreat back to what feels “safe.” After years of effort without financial stability, Andi wonders if she's chasing a pipe dream. Christine helps her uncover the deeper dynamics at play: how childhood conditioning, generational fear, and the belief that success must follow a formula are holding her back. Together, they explore what it means to believe in your dreams even when external results lag, and how coaching isn't just about marketing or money—it's about embodying truth and evolving consciousness. If you've ever doubted your path, felt torn between passion and practicality, or questioned whether your dreams are valid, this conversation will give you clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of purpose. Consider / Ask Yourself: Have you ever wondered if your dreams are too unrealistic—or if the “safe” path is actually safer? Did childhood experiences or parental voices shape your beliefs about success? Are you harder on yourself than you are on others you support? Do you feel like you have “one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake” when it comes to pursuing your passion? Key Insights and A-HAs: Coaching (and many soul-led vocations) is a spiritual journey, not just a business model. Our worth is not defined by clients' results or financial benchmarks. Childhood wounds and inherited fears can sabotage dreams if left unhealed. Success requires both service and the willingness to receive energetic exchange. Believing in yourself and embodying your truth creates alignment that attracts opportunities. How to Deepen the Work: Identify whose voice you hear in your doubts—is it truly yours? Reflect on childhood dreams that were squashed and consider how they want to express now. Reframe support not as “fixing” but as resourcing yourself for the journey. Notice where you're trying to make your path formulaic (A + B = C) and invite curiosity instead. Ask: “What do I know to be true about myself?” and breathe into that truth daily. Upcoming Event: Christine's Women's Retreat takes place October 17–19, 2025. This transformational weekend helps women release old programming, reconnect with their true desires, and step boldly into the life they're meant to live. Partial scholarships are now available, and generous listeners can sponsor another woman's attendance.
