Episode 278: Let's Talk Money

On this special episode recorded live at the CIPP's (Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals) Annual Conference and Exhibition (CIPP ACE) in Newport, Wales, Pete catches up with HCM transformation and global payroll executive, Wendy Muirhead, Founding Partner of WH People! From the shifting compliance landscape in the U.K., to the cultural and economic forces shaping payroll investment worldwide, Wendy shares the current climate and pulse across the marketplace as organizations strive to “do more with less” and unlock the hidden strategic value in modern payroll operations.  Pete and Wendy explore how payroll leaders are earning a seat at the table, by mastering data, governance, and storytelling that moves the C-suite from “approval  to investment” - sharing how payroll leaders can step beyond execution to become strategic advisors, driving business outcomes through insight, collaboration, and influence at the C-suite level. Together, they challenge the perception of payroll as a back-office function, spotlighting the profession's evolution toward risk mitigation, business transformation, and strategic influence.

For as long as he can remember, running has been a fundamental component of Kevin Smith's life. Even during recurring bouts of injury, Smith held onto the identity and community that the sport provided, trusting that someday, he'd have the chance to find out just how much he was capable of. Through the years of setbacks and time relegated to the status of what he calls a “non-practising runner,” Smith turned his attention to helping other runners reach their goals, holding fast to the belief that one day he'd string together enough healthy years to realize his own racing goals, as well. While the goals changed over time, the relentless pursuit of achieving his best–whatever that might be–remained the same, finally resulting in the breakthrough he had waited decades to experience. Following a Canadian 55+ record in the half-marathon at last year's TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, Smith set out in pursuit of an audacious goal: notching a dozen records in the same number of months. A year on, he can now count himself a six-time Canadian record breaker at distances from five miles up to 30 km.Despite falling short of his 12-record target, the quest brought a renewed passion for the sport and brought home the importance of chasing big goals, no matter your age or ability. Today, Smith joins the show to talk about his breakthrough year, continuing to find joy in the sport as he got older, and how settingh bold goals is its own reward.Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Shop now at Altitude Sports and enjoy up to 20% off your first order with the promo code “shakeout” Click here to order

(Aloka Earth Room) Short Reflection & Guided Meditation | Earthworm Practice for the Anthropocene III | Online Wednesday-Morning

In this week's podcast we look at pre-holiday behavior spikes through a problem-solving lens. Instead of “How do we punish this?” we ask, “What skill is missing?” She models restorative conversations, shares reflection tools that build self-awareness, and walks through calm-down strategies that help students regulate before you problem-solve.Key takeawaysBehavior = communication. Shift from “what's wrong with the student?” to “what's happening for the student?”Use restorative approaches: understand harm, take responsibility, repair relationships, restore trust.Reflection > reaction: guided behavior reflection sheets connect thoughts, feelings, needs, and next steps.Regulation first: you can't consequence a child into calm; teach calming tools, then problem-solve.Mindset shift: connection before correction; growth over guilt.Try-it-now toolsRestorative questions:What happened? • What were you thinking/feeling? • Who was affected & how? • What makes it right? • What will you do next time?Behavior Reflection prompts:Trigger • Feeling • Need • Better choice next time • Who to repair with & how (what a real apology looks/sounds like).Calm-down strategies:Square/5-finger breathing, grounding (5–4–3–2–1), movement/water break, sensory tools (rings, stress balls), feelings check-ins/thermometers.Scenario highlight“Jayden in the line”: Instead of office + lecture, Carol uses a brief restorative chat/circle + reflection sheet to move from guilt to growth and repair.Counselor moves to start this weekModel restorative conversations (skip “Why did you do that?”).Teach emotion language (feeling wheels, visuals, daily check-ins).Build a Behavior Reflection Toolkit for you and teachers.Quote to remember“Punishment might stop the behavior, but it doesn't heal what's underneath.

In this episode, I tackle one of the most persistent myths inside BigLaw: that partnership guarantees freedom. After years of billing, grinding through deal cycles, and fighting for promotion, most lawyers expect partnership to mean finally having more control over clients, staffing, and schedules. But as I explain, the modern BigLaw firm operates much more like a global corporation than the old-school partnership many lawyers imagined as they were working their way towards becoming a partner in their firm. Centralized management, committees, client teams, centralized staffing, and internal politics shape a partner's actual authority far more than most attorneys realize. I walk through how partners can actually feel a loss of autonomy in areas they assumed they would gain more control over, why this happens, and, most importantly, the steps smart partners take to regain meaningful agency inside a the structure of their firms. At a Glance: 00:00 Introduction and the myth that partners "finally get to do what they want" 01:20 How autonomy erodes through committees, billing rules, discounts, and restrictions on expenses 02:15 Why client teams and global relationship partners can limit control, even over clients you originate 02:39 The gap between what lawyers imagine partnership to be and the corporate reality of BigLaw 03:00 How institutionalization has changed BigLaw  03:30 Why centralized systems protect firms but often reduce individual partner freedom 04:09 How client management may be reassigned to multi-partner teams 04:41 The politics of potentially being a "co-relationship partner" and thus losing losing influence and authority over key client relationships 05:04 Centralized staffing and resource managers replacing partner-led staffing 05:28 Why partners feel responsible but not in charge 05:53 Structural dependency: why BigLaw's infrastructure limits independence 06:21 How platform reliance prevents partners from "going independent" 06:42 Deferred comp, origination credit rules, and how compensation systems quietly place limits on  partners 07:16 The psychological dependency created by discretionary compensation factors 07:47 The emotional side of autonomy: validation, identity, and exhaustion 08:36 The paradox: greater authority but less agency 08:59 What smart partners do to regain leverage 09:22 Building allies across finance, HR, IT, and marketing 09:48 Owning the client relationship, not just the work 10:13 Developing portable capital so you're staying by choice, not constraint 10:42 Building strong internal teams to regain practical autonomy 11:12 Why complete independence is tough to achieve and what autonomy actually looks like in 2025 11:38 Understanding what you control vs. where you only have access 12:07 Reframing autonomy and focusing on leverage that matters 12:47 Closing reflection and how to use this understanding to build the practice you want Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!

(Aloka Earth Room) Short Reflection & Guided Meditation | Earthworm Practice for the Anthropocene III | Online Wednesday-Morning

What happens when discipline meets adversity? In a world where comfort wins too easily, true progress begins with facing hard challenges head-on. Joe De Sena talks with Zeus Fitness founder and adaptive coach Jake Weiner about building grit through adaptive training, creating community for athletes with disabilities, and turning mindset shifts into lasting confidence.   Tools, Frameworks, or Strategies Learned: Mindset Reframing: Jake explains how shifting "I can't" to "I'll try" transforms both athletes and parents, proving that confidence is built one small win at a time. Adaptive Coaching Approach: Training without specialized equipment—just smarter coaching, personalized cues, and consistent feedback. Environment and Community Design: Creating a supportive gym culture where athletes mirror each other's discipline, replacing isolation with shared strength. Routine as Ritual: Building daily movement habits that anchor mindset and consistency—discipline treated like brushing your teeth. Perspective Shift Practice: Using the mantra "It could be worse" to ground gratitude and push through discomfort.   Closing Insight: "Discipline turns obstacles into opportunity—because every hard thing you face trains both body and mind."   Listen & Subscribe: Apple: The Hard Way Podcast Spotify: The Hard Way Podcast   Short, Impactful Content: Instagram: @thehardwaypodcast From host directly: @realjoedesena   Join the Spartan Community: Find Your Next Spartan Race: spartan.com/en/race/find-race For everything Spartan: spartan.com   Timestamps: [00:10] The Mission Behind Zeus Fitness Jake explains how Zeus Fitness became a training ground for adaptive athletes. [03:25] Reframing the Mindset Jake shares how shifting mindset changes how athletes, parents, and coaches face challenges. [11:48] Building Rituals That Outlast Motivation Consistency beats intensity. Discipline becomes automatic when workouts are treated like daily hygiene. [15:21] The Power of Community and Spartan Grit Jake explains how his athletes train year-round for Spartan Races—proving that shared purpose and team energy build more than strength; they build resilience. [20:40] A Lesson in True Commitment One athlete skips Disneyland to make his workout. A reminder that when purpose is strong enough, excuses disappear.

What if the secret to becoming a better leader isn't getting more, but realizing you already have enough? ⏳ Andrew takes the mic to unravel one of the most transformative ideas from "The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership": the shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance. Blending sharp insights with personal stories, Andrew challenges the deeply ingrained belief that we need more to be successful: more time, more money, more recognition. He breaks down the toxic myths of scarcity that keep us trapped in fear and comparison, and instead offers a refreshing, people-first lens rooted in presence, purpose, and enough-ness. This episode will have you rethinking how you spend your time, how you define success, and how you show up for the people around you.   Additional Resources: Join The ARENA - a CSTG Community (powered by our media partner, PeopleForward Network) Chad on LinkedIn Chad Peterman | CEO | Author Peterman Brothers Website Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network   Key Takeaways: Scarcity mindset promotes fear, comparison, and toxic competition. Abundance mindset fosters creativity, collaboration, and gratitude. "More" is not always better. Focus on purposeful use of resources. Reframing time and energy shifts how we lead and live. You are already enough, personally and professionally.  

What happens when belonging is tied to your bank account? This piece shows how cult-like religious environments turn “sacrificial giving” into financial control, leaving money scripts like “If I don't give, I'll be rejected.” Through client stories—including retirees pressured to keep giving—it highlights how loss of community magnifies money fears. Reframing generosity beyond dollars helps protect well-being while honoring values. The takeaway: healing means separating faith from finances with compassion so choices come from true values, not obligation. #MoneyAndBelonging #FinancialBoundaries #MoneyScripts #FaithAndFinance #HealthyGenerosity #FinancialWellness #MoneyHealing #FinancialEmpowerment #MoneyFreedom #ValuesBasedGiving #MoneyMindset #FinancialTherapy #HealingWithMoney #MoneyControl #MoneyAndFaith A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive our money decisions.

This week's episode is basically Thanksgiving in podcast form: chaotic, cozy, a little unhinged, and fueled by holiday-level delusion. We spiral through our Thanksgiving plans, why the night before the holiday should count as a national drinking event, and what we're actually thankful for this year.We're talking all things mindset, reframes, and delusional confidence, because Keke Palmer said to stop acting like life is happening to us and start remembering life is happening from us. We're choosing new narratives, even if they sound a little unhinged. We talk about reframing our thinking, choosing the “my life is protecting me” narrative, and remembering that life is coming from us, not at us. It's gratitude season, but make it tipsy, dramatic, and spiritually aligned. ---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: B12 shotsHannah's Captivation: OUAI Super Dry Invisible Dry Shampoo in Melrose PlaceShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal's Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

Recorded November 10, 2025 - The Korea Society is pleased to announce that the ninth annual Sherman Family Korea Emerging Scholar Lecture Awardee is Dr. Peter Jongho Na, assistant professor of psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine.  In his lecture, Reframing Suicide as a Shared Social Responsibility in Korea, he casts suicide not as an individual failure or "extreme choice (극단적 선택)," but as a systemic and cultural crisis requiring a coordinated national response. Drawing on his experience as a psychiatrist, public health researcher, and mental health advocate, he examines the scale and societal costs of suicide in Korea and analyzes key structural drivers such as academic and workplace pressures, poverty and isolation among older adults, and the pervasive stigma surrounding mental illness and treatment.  A central theme is how stigma has sustained silence, denial, and policy inertia. Dr. Peter Jongho Na shares his efforts to challenge euphemistic language and foster open public dialogue, while proposing an interdisciplinary roadmap inspired by global models that integrate public health, education, and social welfare reforms. Further, he highlights the Korean diaspora's potential role in breaking taboos and advancing cultural and policy change, underscoring that suicide prevention must be embraced as a collective, societal responsibility. Note: This presentation includes discussion of suicide and mental health topics that may be distressing to some individuals.

Ever found yourself trying to fix a problem with your spouse or kids—only to make it worse? Yeah, me too. In today's episode, I sat down with Josh Davis, a neuroscientist, author, and master of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), to explore how the way we communicate—our words, tone, body language, and mindset—can shape the emotional responses of those we love most.   Josh didn't just explain NLP; he showed it in action—by putting me in the hot seat. We talked real-life scenarios that dads like us face daily, from explosive moments with kids to feeling emotionally disconnected from our spouses. Josh walked me through powerful, science-backed communication tools that shifted my perspective in real time. Trust me, this episode isn't just about theory—it's a game changer that could transform how you show up in your marriage, fatherhood, and even your inner dialogue.     Timeline Summary [0:00] - Introduction [1:19] - Common communication missteps with our wives and kids [2:07] - What is NLP and why every dad should care [6:56] - Josh's background and why NLP is his passion [12:06] - Comparing NLP to cognitive behavioral therapy [14:10] - Real-world examples of how NLP creates breakthroughs [23:25] - Josh's personal story about improving his marriage through NLP [33:21] - A deep-dive NLP coaching session with me as the guinea pig [40:00] - Identifying limiting beliefs and how they shape our behavior [42:00] - The surprising power of body language in father-child connection [45:04] - How to build rapport with your kids through posture and tone [54:12] - Reframing limiting beliefs our kids express [57:00] - Simple language tweaks to open emotional doors [1:01:20] - A tactical breakdown of how to validate emotions without enabling     Key Takeaways   Stop Fixing, Start Connecting – Your instinct to solve may actually be creating distance; connection begins with emotional validation. NLP Isn't Magic—It's Strategy – Small shifts in language, posture, and tone can create big breakthroughs in how others respond to you. Meet People Where They Are – Emotional safety starts with joining your child or partner in their current state before trying to lead them somewhere else. Your Body Talks Too – Mirroring posture and energy isn't manipulation—it's subconscious empathy that builds trust. Change Begins with You – Whether it's marriage, parenting, or personal beliefs, the transformation starts by examining your internal dialogue and behavior.   Links & Resources   Josh Davis' Book: https://www.amazon.com/Difference-that-Makes-Science-Positive/dp/1250349087 thedadedge.com/soulmates joshdavisphd.com/dads Podcast Show Notes: thedadedge.com/1401     If this episode sparked some ah-ha moments, hit that follow button, leave a review, and share it with a fellow dad who's ready to level up his communication and connection at home.

In this episode, Abby and Regan delve into the complexities of emotions, particularly focusing on the struggles of sulking and the importance of shifting one's mindset. They discuss the challenges of forgiveness, especially when dealing with individuals who exhibit non-repentive behavior. The conversation transitions into the significance of reframing past experiences and how media influences societal norms and morality. They also explore various shows, highlighting the changing landscape of content and its implications. Finally, the episode touches on the dynamics of parenting, showcasing the differences in their approaches and the humorous realities of raising children.takeaways Sometimes you just have to let yourself feel the sulk, but you can't let yourself stay there. Forgiveness is a process that can take time and requires effort. Reframing past experiences can lead to personal growth and healing. Media can have a significant impact on societal norms and morality. It's important to actively participate in your healing journey. Parenting dynamics can vary greatly between families, leading to unique challenges and experiences. Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in navigating relationships and forgiveness. Satan often uses our pain and suffering to keep us from moving closer to God. Finding humor in parenting can help alleviate stress and create a lighter atmosphere. It's essential to recognize the toxic nature of holding onto grudges and resentment.

Ivy, Winter Witchcraft & The Discipline Spell In this month's November Witchcraft episode, we wander into the winding, enchanted world of ivy — a plant steeped in folklore, protection magic, and ancient symbolism. We explore its historical associations, its role as a guardian of thresholds and the many ways witches can weave ivy into their craft with intention and safety. From there, we move into the heart of herbal magic, looking at how to use herb blends in spellwork, ritual, energy cleansing, and winter-focused practices. Next we descend into the witch's winter arc, exploring why the darker months naturally call us into commitment, devotion and inner alchemy. We discuss the role of discipline as a spell, and how neuroplasticity supports your magical practice.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Manika Singh, who at the start of the year joined RNT after seeing her 3 siblings go through this journey and experience life-changing results. Manika shares a raw account of how after two pregnancies she was at an all-time high of 80 kilos feeling low on energy, not her best, and wanting to make massive changes.

In this episode, she shares the 3 exact systems she's using to build a sustainable lifestyle solution despite working 12 hours a day, raising two kids, and juggling all the realities of modern day life.

Risk vs Pleasure Series Ep 165 Description:  "If you are focused on the risk, or you're worried or you're anxious about what's going to go wrong, that is taking up too much of your brain. We need to deal with it and put it into perspective so that we can clear the path to joy and pleasure." —Dr. Sara Wickham   Pregnancy is supposed to be a time of wonder, but too often the first word that comes up is "risk". Suddenly, every choice feels like a warning sign, and joy gets pushed into the background. No one talks about how heavy that constant fear can feel—or how much it steals from the confidence and pleasure that should be part of the journey. After decades as a midwife, researcher, and lecturer, Dr. Sara Wickham saw how the medical model's focus on risk overshadowed women's voices and experiences. Now, through her books and the Birth Information Project, she's breaking down the numbers and challenging the myths, showing women that evidence doesn't have to be scary—it can be liberating. In this conversation, Debra and Sara unpack how risk talk shapes pregnancy, why many "warnings" don't match the actual evidence, and how women can reclaim joy, confidence, and even pleasure in birth—including insights from her new book Plus Size Pregnancy. Expect tools, clarity, and a refreshing reminder that pregnancy isn't just about minimizing danger—it's about living the experience fully.   Connect with Debra!

Picture it. You're about to dive into yet another strategy planning session with your team. You've got the flip charts, the markers, the frameworks, the best intentions… and a sinking feeling that this is going to end up just like last time—disconnected, circular, and unclear. Somewhere along the way, you've probably heard that storytelling can help. But not so fast. My guest today, Brett Davidson, is here to turn that idea on its head. He's the founder and principal of Wingseed, where he helps foundations and nonprofits around the world use narrative, storytelling, listening, and creativity for social justice. He also serves as the Narrative Lead at IRIS (International Resource for Impact and Storytelling), a donor collaborative advancing narrative strategies for impact. Brett brings a powerful reframe for how we think about storytelling in organizations—and it's one that will completely reshape how you approach strategy, identity, and meaning-making on your team. Before my conversation with Brett, I was an enthusiastic promoter of individual storytelling in organizations. But Brett helped me see the limits of that approach and the need to move from me stories to we stories—from storytelling to storylistening.

In this deeply heartfelt and validating episode, guest host Carol Roesler welcomes Lara Rodwell, founder of The Lonely Club and journalist, for an empowering conversation about autism, sensitivity, loneliness, and self-discovery.Lara shares her personal journey through misdiagnosis, the loneliness that often follows, and how self-identifying as a sensitive autistic neurotype became a turning point toward self-acceptance. Together, Carol and Lara explore the challenges women face when they don't fit the outdated models of autism diagnosis, and how finding accurate understanding can feel like a “homecoming.”TakeawaysThe origins and mission of The Lonely Club—creating safe spaces for young neurodivergent people.Lara's experience with misdiagnosis through the NHS and her later validation through Julie Bjelland's autism assessment.The loneliness many sensitive and autistic women experience when their traits are misunderstood.The concept of the sensitive autistic neurotype as defined by Julie Bjelland.Turning perceived “weaknesses” (like sensitivity or introversion) into strengths and creative power.The generational struggle of being told “you're too sensitive.”How external diagnostic criteria often overlook women and non-male expressions of autism.Advocacy for sensitive autistic university students and young adults navigating social challenges.Reframing “lazy” or “avoidant” behaviors as signs of burnout, masking, or perfectionism—not lack of motivation.The importance of self-compassion and self-advocacy in the neurodivergent journey.Lara Rodwell is the founder of The Lonely Club, an online and in-person community designed to reduce loneliness among young neurodivergent adults.

We trace a journey from college plans and depression to a daily practice of surrender that reshapes calling, marriage, and local mission. Channa shares life among refugees in Chicago's West Ridge, why betrothal made theological sense, and how faithful presence changes a block.• Moody years shaping spiritual formation and resilience• Moving from one-time to ongoing surrender• Reframing missions beyond overseas to local presence• Practical care as credible gospel witness• Marriage as a picture of Christ and the church• Choosing betrothal and a two-ceremony path• Courage for clear invitations within trusted relationships• Support through prayer and newsletters

In this episode, we're discussing the concept of reaffirming. Once you're aware of the limited stories you're telling, and you take the action steps neccessary to change it, you will still be met with those stories in real time.  This is where affirming your new identity comes into play. For a certain period of time, you will be taking action without seeing evidence in the world yet. This is where the temptation to fall back into your old patterns comes in.  In this episode, we're diving into how to continue forward in those moments using a reaffirming exercise. As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

We are excited to welcome clinical psychologist and USA Today bestselling author, Dr. Chloe Carmichael, today.  Chloe wrote Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety, which Deepak Chopra endorsed. Her latest book, Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly prompted Eric to reach out to her. That book received recommendations from Dr. Phil McGraw, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Patrick Bet-David, and various other thought leaders. She joins us to explore mental health, the importance of free speech, and what goes on within corporate organizations. Chloe's Journey Dr. Chloe Carmichael built her career as a clinical psychologist, author, and speaker, blending academic insight with real-world experience. She holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and has a private practice in New York City. Her background as a yoga teacher and her fascination with mindfulness shaped her approach to emotional regulation and performance, and she has worked extensively with high-achieving professionals. Over time, her work has evolved from traditional therapy into coaching, corporate consulting, and thought leadership, bridging the gap between psychology and practical success strategies. Productive Anxiety Chloe explains that anxiety, when understood and managed, can be a powerful motivational tool because the physiological arousal associated with anxiety is similar to the energy needed for preparation and action. Productive anxiety becomes maladaptive only when paired with avoidance or self-criticism. Instead of suppressing it, people can use that energy to plan, anticipate, and perform better. Recognizing that anxiety is a natural human function helps people shift from fear-based reactions to constructive responses. High Achievers and Self-Regulation When anxiety gets reframed as preparation rather than panic, it becomes an ally in achieving excellence. High performers often experience elevated anxiety because they set ambitious goals and carry heavy responsibilities. The challenge is not to eliminate anxiety but to regulate it. Practices such as self-awareness, structured planning, and mindfulness help individuals to harness their natural drive without burning out.  Emotional Awareness Tuning into emotional cues can offer valuable feedback rather than distractions. Emotions signal what matters most, and ignoring them can lead to misalignment or poor decisions. Identifying the underlying messages (fear of failure, desire for growth, or need for control) allows people to channel those feelings into intentional actions rather than reactive ones. Boundaries and Self-Validation Boundaries are essential, especially for those who seek their validation externally. Many high achievers rely on the approval of others, which can increase anxiety when feedback is inconsistent or negative. Chloe encourages the development of self-validation skills and acknowledging one's own efforts and internal standards. Setting emotional and time boundaries helps maintain focus, energy, and confidence, even in competitive environments. Practical Tools for Managing Anxiety Chloe offers practical strategies for turning anxiety into productive energy. She recommends setting clear, achievable goals and using visualization to stay focused on positive outcomes. Scheduling dedicated worry time helps contain overthinking, while separating problem-solving from emotional processing prevents downward spiraling. Reframing self-talk from "what if I fail?" to "how can I prepare?" will turn fear into action and build confidence. Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques Mindfulness is essential for calming the nervous system and being grounded. Deep breathing, guided meditation, and journaling slow the mind and create distance from anxious thoughts. Chloe points out that mindfulness does not eliminate anxiety. It helps the mind engage with it objectively, cultivating emotional resilience and better decision-making. Leadership and Psychological Safety Chloe highlights the importance of creating environments where people feel psychologically safe to express their ideas and concerns. Leaders who model calm, reflective behavior encourage teams to think critically rather than reacting emotionally. Leaders will also benefit from acknowledging their own anxieties, as that normalizes stress and builds trust within teams. Balancing Ambition and Well-being Ambition and mental health are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Sustainable success requires the balancing of drive with recovery. High performers should schedule rest, physical movement, and meaningful personal time to prevent chronic stress.  Integrating Psychology into Everyday Life Chloe views psychology as a proactive skill set that helps people live with intention rather than reaction. She encourages listeners to use psychological tools in everyday life, not just in therapy or moments of crisis. Emotional tracking, mindfulness, and self-compassion can strengthen relationships, sharpen leadership, and boost creativity.

Q&A from The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle: Exercise Compulsion, Setbacks, Safe Foods and Coping with Diet CultureThis episode of Fly To Freedom is something very special — a real glimpse into the kinds of questions asked inside The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle, my private membership community.These are raw, honest questions from women right in the heart of recovery — navigating fear, confusion, and moments of hope — and the answers come straight from my heart and experience. We cover everything from exercise compulsion and energy deficit, to those nights when you can't stop eating cereal, to the sting of hearing “you look well” when recovery feels terrifying.If you've ever wondered whether full recovery is truly possible, how to cope when everyone around you is dieting, or whether your wobble means you've failed — this conversation will help you see that you are not alone, and that healing is absolutely possible.00:00 – Q1: Is exercise compulsion an addiction to energy deficit – and if so, how is recovery possible if we can't avoid movement forever?Understanding the difference between addiction and compulsion, how the body becomes hooked on energy deficit, and why rest is essential to rewire the brain.08:25 – Q2: You've said recovery isn't linear — does it ever fully settle down, or will I have to work on this forever?How recovery unfolds in layers, why it becomes easier over time, and what life feels like once freedom is your new normal.11:40 – Q3: How do I know if something is a small setback or a full relapse?How to stop catastrophising, understand what your response really means, and learn to meet slip-ups with compassion instead of shame.15:15 – Q4: Why do I latch onto specific safe foods like cereal, especially at night?Exploring why the brain fixates on predictable foods in recovery and how to gently widen food variety without triggering fear or restriction.20:00 – Q5: How do I cope when I'm gaining weight and everyone around me is dieting and being praised?Reframing internal language, stepping away from comparison, and learning to see recovery as an act of courage in a diet-obsessed world.24:20 – Q6: If I've stopped compulsive movement, do everyday activities like walking with my family ‘break' recovery? And what if I feel full and stop eating — is that okay?Understanding intention behind movement, spontaneity versus compulsion, and rebuilding body trust without fear.27:40 – Q7: I restrict all day, then use alcohol in the evening to relax and eat more — but feel shame the next day. How can I break this cycle?Why alcohol can act as false permission to eat, how the restrict-drink-shame loop forms, and how to create safety without needing alcohol to silence the eating disorder voice.33:40 – Q8: People keep saying I ‘look well' and I can see I'm gaining weight — do I still need to keep increasing my intake?Explaining metabolic healing, why early weight gain doesn't mean you're fully nourished, and how continuing to eat more helps you move from survival to freedom.

When emotions clash with reason, clarity feels impossible. In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with psychologists Dr. Shireen Rizvi and Dr. Jesse Finkelstein — coauthors of Real Skills for Real Life — to explore how Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) turns emotional chaos into calm, actionable wisdom. They break down DBT's balance of change and acceptance, show how to identify “skills deficits” behind recurring struggles, and reveal why mindfulness and emotional awareness are the foundation of resilience. You'll learn how to use DBT's practical frameworks — including the Wise Mind and DEAR MAN skills — to strengthen communication, build emotional regulation, and handle difficult conversations without losing self-respect. Whether you're negotiating at work, managing conflict, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this conversation gives you a playbook for thinking clearly and acting with intention — even under pressure.

Building B2B analytics and AI tools that people will actually pay for and use is hard. The reality is, your product won't deliver ROI if no one's using it. That's why first principles thinking says you have to solve the usage problem first. In this episode, I'll explain why the key to user adoption is designing with the flow of work—building your solution around the natural workflows of your users to minimize the behavior changes you're asking them to make. When users clearly see the value in your product, it becomes easier to sell and removes many product-related blockers along the way. We'll explore how product design impacts sales, the difference between buyers and users in enterprise contexts, and why challenging the “data/AI-first” mindset is essential. I'll also share practical ways to align features with user needs, reduce friction, and drive long-term adoption and impact. If you're ready to move beyond the dashboard and start building products that truly fit the way people work, this episode is for you.   Highlights/Skip to:  The core argument: why solving for user adoption first helps demonstrate ROI and facilitate sales in B2B analytics and AI products  (1:34) How showing the value to actual end users—not just buyers—makes it easier to sell your product (2:33) Why designing for outcomes instead of outputs (dashboards, etc) leads to better adoption and long-term product value (8:16) How to “see” beyond users' surface-level feature requests and solutions so you can solve for the actual, unspoken need—leading to an indispensable product (10:23) Reframing feature requests as design-actionable problems (12:07)  Solving for unspoken needs vs. customer-requested features and functions (15:51) Why “disruption” is the wrong approach for product development (21:19)   Quotes:  “Customers' tolerance for poorly designed B2B software has decreased significantly over the last decade. People now expect enterprise tools to function as smoothly and intuitively as the consumer apps they use every day.  Clunky software that slows down workflows is no longer acceptable, regardless of the data it provides. If your product frustrates users or requires extra effort to achieve results, adoption will suffer. Even the most powerful AI or analytics engine cannot compensate for a confusing or poorly structured interface. Enterprises now demand experiences that are seamless, efficient, and aligned with real workflows.    This shift means that product design is no longer a secondary consideration; it is critical to commercial success.  Founders and product leaders must prioritize usability, clarity, and delight in every interaction. Software that is difficult to use increases the risk of churn, lengthens sales cycles, and diminishes perceived value. Products must anticipate user needs and deliver solutions that integrate naturally into existing workflows.  The companies that succeed are the ones that treat user experience as a strategic differentiator. Ignoring this trend creates friction, frustration, and missed opportunities for adoption and revenue growth. Design quality is now inseparable from product value and market competitiveness.  The message is clear: if you want your product to be adopted, retain customers, and win in the market, UX must be central to your strategy.” —   “No user really wants to ‘check a dashboard' or use a feature for its own sake. Dashboards, charts, and tables are outputs, not solutions. What users care about is completing their tasks, solving their problems, and achieving meaningful results.  Designing around workflows rather than features ensures your product is indispensable. A workflow-first approach maps your solution to the actual tasks users perform in the real world.  When we understand the jobs users need to accomplish, we can build products that deliver real value and remove friction. Focusing solely on features or data can create bloated products that users ignore or struggle to use.  Outputs are meaningless if they do not fit into the context of a user's work. The key is to translate user needs into actionable workflows and design every element to support those flows.  This approach reduces cognitive load, improves adoption, and ensures the product's ROI is realized. It also allows you to anticipate challenges and design solutions that make workflows smoother, faster, and more efficient.  By centering design on actual tasks rather than arbitrary metrics, your product becomes a tool users can't imagine living without. Workflow-focused design directly ties to measurable outcomes for both end users and buyers. It shifts the conversation from features to value, making adoption, satisfaction, and revenue more predictable.” — “Just because a product is built with AI or powerful data capabilities doesn't mean anyone will adopt it. Long-term value comes from designing solutions that users cannot live without. It's about creating experiences that take people from frustration to satisfaction to delight.  Products must fit into users' natural workflows and improve their performance, efficiency, and outcomes. Buyers' perceived ROI is closely tied to meaningful adoption by end users. If users struggle, churn rises, and financial impact is diminished, regardless of technical sophistication.  Designing for delight ensures that the product becomes a positive force in the user's daily work. It strengthens engagement, reduces friction, and builds customer loyalty.  High-quality UX allows the product to demonstrate value automatically, without constant explanations or hand-holding. Delightful experiences encourage advocacy, referrals, and easier future sales.  The real power of design lies in aligning technical capabilities with human behavior and workflow.  When done correctly, this approach transforms a tool into an indispensable part of the user's job and a demonstrable asset for the business.  Focusing on usability, satisfaction, and delight creates long-term adoption and retention, which is the ultimate measure of product success.” — “Your product should enter the user's work stream like a raft on a river, moving in the same direction as their workflow. Users should not have to fight the current or stop their flow to use your tool.  Introducing friction or requiring users to change their behavior increases risk, even if the product delivers ROI. The more naturally your product aligns with existing workflows, the easier it is to adopt and the more likely it is to be retained.  Products that feel intuitive and effortless become indispensable, reducing conversations about usability during demos. By matching the flow of work, your solution improves satisfaction, accelerates adoption, and enhances perceived value.  Disrupting workflows without careful observation can create new problems, frustrate users, and slow down sales. The goal is to move users from frustration to satisfaction to delight, all while achieving the intended outcomes.  Designing with the flow of work ensures that every feature, interface element, and interaction fits seamlessly into the tasks users already perform. It allows users to focus on value instead of figuring out how to use the product.  This alignment is key to unlocking adoption, retaining customers, and building long-term loyalty.  Products that resist the natural workflow may demonstrate ROI on paper but fail in practice due to friction and low engagement.  Success requires designing a product that supports the user's journey downstream without interruption or extra effort.  When you achieve this, adoption becomes easier, sales conversations smoother, and long-term retention higher.” —

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. discusses a recurring problem in wrongful death cases: jurors' tendency to mistakenly believe their job is to assign a monetary value to a life. Bill explains how this cognitive shortcut often leads to inflated damage awards because jurors default to emotional reasoning rather than following the legal instructions. To prevent this, Bill emphasizes that the issue must be addressed proactively during voir dire. He outlines a process that begins with exposing the problem - acknowledging that jurors will naturally think, “How do we put a value on a life?” - and then clearly explaining that the law does not ask them to do that. Instead, jurors are asked to compensate surviving family members for measurable economic and emotional losses. Bill walks through a step-by-step strategy for correcting this misconception: expose and normalize the cognitive shortcut, redefine the juror's task in line with the law, and secure public, verbal pre-commitments from jurors to follow the court's instructions. He also recommends going a step further by asking jurors to commit to keeping one another on track during deliberations. Bill concludes by noting that this structured approach not only prevents confusion and emotional decision-making by jurors but also strengthens the defense's position by grounding jurors in rational, law-based reasoning right from the start.

How to identify and rewrite the limiting beliefs holding you back.Achieving what you want in life doesn't just hinge on what you believe about your future. According to Muriel Wilkins, it has just as much to do with what you believe about your past and present.Wilkins is an executive coach, author, and host of the HBR podcast Coaching Real Leaders. In her new book, Leadership Unblocked: Breakthrough the Beliefs that Limit Your Potential, she explains how our personal and professional blocks often stem from our own limiting beliefs about ourselves. “A belief is a story that you tell yourself,” she says, “It is the operating principle that is driving your behavior and the decisions you make.” Before we can take actions that will lead us to where we want to go, we have to uncover these hidden beliefs. Otherwise, Wilkins says, “We'll come back right to where we started. It's not just about what we do, it's about what we think about what we do that makes all the difference."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wilkins and host Matt Abrahams explore the three-step process of uncover, unpack, and unblock — Wilkins' method for identifying limiting beliefs, understanding how they might be shaping our behavior, and updating narratives to align with who we actually want to be.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Muriel WilkinsMuriel's Book: Leadership UnblockedEp.102 Create a Presence: How to Communicate in a Way Others Can FeelEp.98 Give It to Me Straight: How to Give Honest, Constructive Feedback  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - The Seven Limiting Beliefs (04:43) - Three Steps to Becoming Unblocked (07:57) - Rethinking Values and Success (09:12) - Healthy vs. Toxic Productivity (11:56) - The Power of Mindset and Reframing (14:32) - Reverse Engineering Your Goals (17:41) - Managing Emotional Investment (21:21) - The Final Three Question (27:42) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Ask David: What's the best way to do Positive Reframing? Is the "20 Qualities I'm Looking for in an Ideal Mate" reliable?  And, How can I tell if someone I'm dating is REALLY honest, loyal, and faithful? The answers to today's questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth discussion of each question. Julia asks: is it more important to do positive reframing on feelings (anxiety, anger, frustration) rather than on specific thoughts («I should be calmer»)? Charlotte asks: What's the best way to use the "20 Qualities I'm looking for in an ideal mate?" Charlotte also asks: What's the best way to find out if someone you're dating is going to be loyal, faithful, and honest?   Julia asks: is it more important to do positive reframing on feelings (anxiety, anger, frustration) rather than on specific thoughts («I should be calmer»)?  Dear David and Rhonda, I listened today to the Podcast 460 on The fear of Happiness. What a wonderful podcast! I love the deeper dives on one topic and especially when you focus on discussing positive reframing. If Rhonda felt like she didn't do her best on the podcast, I definitely was struggling a lot even on coming up with positives for Thomas. And It's been some years since I positively reframe my feelings! Here is my question: Why is it more important to do positive reframing on feelings (anxiety, anger, frustration) rather than on specific thoughts («I should be calmer»)? I always find it easier and more helpful for myself to positively reframe the specific thoughts rather than the feelings. I specifically see the reason why a thought is both serving me and saying something so awesome about me and my core values. It usually elevates my mood and my overthinking on the spot. On the other hand doing it on feelings is also very helpful but can remain sometimes on the general level. It still speaks truly to me and I confirm every value but is less poignant than specific thoughts. Thank you both so much for such a wonderful podcast! All the best, Julia from Italy David's Response Thanks, will add this to the next Ask David list. Great question! One thing to keep in mind is that you can do Positive Reframing on anything: a thought, a distortion, an emotion, a behavior, and more. So, the answer is, "it all depends!" On the podcast, we can try to figure out what it all depends on, so we have a systematic way of thinking about this great question. But part of the answer will be, "whatever works for you." The PR of a thought is more specific and unique to you, so that's a plus for including thoughts along with some of the feelings. The feelings are great because they are relatively easy, if you know how to PR them, and the impact can be enormous and, of course, beneficial. Warmly, david Charlotte asks: What's the best way to use the "20 Qualities I'm looking for in an ideal mate?" Is this tool reliable? Charlotte also asks: What's the best way to find out if someone you're dating is going to be loyal, faithful, and honest? Dear David and dear Rhonda, I love the Podcast so much! It has come with me the last 2 years almost every week and its been incredibly helpful both as a therapist to be and as a human being doing this crazy thing called life! You two put so much of your heart into it and I am beyond grateful for all your hard work and what you give to all of us for free every week of the year. I don't know where I would be without TEAM and what I know for sure is I never wanna live without TEAM and this beautiful community of kind, funny and big hearted people anymore. Big thanks to both of you and Matt May and all the people who agreed to publish their personal work. Those episodes are extra special for me and always help me overcome my own struggles even more! Hugs from Berlin, Germany Charlotte I also have a question regarding your episodes around Dating. OMG I can't tell you how helpful they were for me. I am going through a pretty painful break up right now and these episodes gave me so many tips for my future endeavors of dating to find a life partner! So, I would be more than thrilled about another or more podcasts going through that topic! I have two questions regarding Dating that came up for me along the way: There is this sheet I use often and was mentioned called "20 qualities in a partner." I love this and rated all my exes in hindsight and also people I dated e.g. my then boyfriend. My boyfriend got a way higher score than my exes at the time and now that we are broken up I reviewed that list. Knowing what I know now the score changed quite a bit which confused me a lot. Now I am wondering how reliable this list is especially if you don't know the person very well in the beginning. How do you handle this list when you're on your first date--let's say--and barely know that person? It's hard to rate someone on availability, loyalty, honesty and so forth when you don't know them yet?! Is there a trick you can do to find that out quicker and do you recommend to review that list after every date and see if you can rate them more realistically now? My second question is a bit similar. How can you slowly find out how trustworthy, empathetic, honest, loyal, faithful a person is? Interestingly enough since my score on both anxiety and depression is 0 for most of the time the last 2 years, I had two bad experiences in dating. Both my partners were unfaithful and dishonest about it. Which is interesting for me because my two long term boyfriends were at a time, I was struggling with anxiety and both of them were very loyal, warm, faithful and very much involved in our relationship. So, I feel like my anxiety motivated me to choose very carefully and now that I am doing really good in life and love being by myself and don't need a relationship anymore but want to have a life partner and marry eventually I kind seem to choose more poorly when it comes to partners. I hope my questions make any sense! Warmly, Charlotte David's response Thanks Charlotte. I'll add these to our upcoming Ask David recording. Great questions on dating, one of my favorite topics! Warmly, david Thanks for listening today! Rhonda, Matt, and David

The Demographic Need: Reframing Migration as an Economic Resource and Dismantling Exclusionary Borders.Gaia Vince discusses how humans are a migratory species that evolved in Africa and colonized the entire globe through movement. Historically, the US and European nations have used policies of brutality and cruelty to restrict movement, with many current border restrictions being recent. Vince highlights the current economic paradox: societies encourage the flow of goods but limit human labor, their largest economic resource, with some economists estimating that removing borders could double global GDP. A critical component of managing migration is investment: financial investment to expand northern cities and social investment in accepting that migrants are not "bad people" and promoting inclusivity. Furthermore, the global north faces a demographic crisis, as most developed nations are not producing enough babies to support their elderly populations, making immigration the necessary solution. 1953

It can be frustrating when people do things we don't want them to do. A friend cancels plans at the last minute. A child refuses to get dressed for school. Before long, our resentment builds, and we're tempted to issue more rules, reminders, and consequences. But the techniques we use to get people to alter their behavior are often strikingly ineffective. This week, psychologist Stuart Ablon explains why these methods fail, and offers better ways to help the people we care about make lasting change..If you love Hidden Brain, join us for an upcoming live show!
