This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Audible and Strong Coffee Company. You've probably heard of the trauma responses fight, flight, and freeze — but there's a fourth response that may be shaping your life without you even realizing it: fawning. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ingrid Clayton, PhD a clinical psychologist, trauma therapist, and author of Fawning, to understand why people-pleasing, over-accommodating, and self-abandonment are not personality flaws — they're intelligent survival responses your nervous system learned to keep you safe. You'll learn how fawning develops when fight, flight, or freeze aren't available — especially in childhood, unequal power dynamics, toxic relationships, and work environments where your safety or stability feels at risk. You'll also discover how living in a chronic fawn response can quietly disconnect you from your needs, your voice, your body, and your sense of self. This conversation helps you recognize why "just setting boundaries" often feels impossible, why you may disappear in relationships, and why choosing yourself can feel terrifying even when you know something needs to change. Most importantly, you'll hear why none of this means something is wrong with you — you make sense. If you've been stuck in survival mode, waiting for permission, approval, or safety outside yourself, this episode will help you understand what's been happening beneath the surface — and how you can begin moving forward by reconnecting with who you truly are.

If life feels harder in your body since your person died, if you notice yourself feeling grumpy, exhausted, numb, or overwhelmed in ways that don't always make sense, you're not imagining it. When your person dies, your nervous system loses something foundational that you may not have even realized you had. Suddenly, things that used to feel easy feel hard, everything feels out of whack, and we don't feel at home in our bodies the way we're used to. Join me this week as I help you understand what's happening inside your nervous system after loss, how to recognize different nervous system states when they show up, and how to support yourself in ways that actually help.

In this episode, I sit down with Laurie Hammer, a functional nutrition therapist, to explore the powerful connection between brain health and gut function. Laurie shares her personal journey into functional nutrition and explains why amino acids play a foundational role in both emotional resilience and physical well-being. Our conversation dives into the relationship between neurotransmitters and amino acids, with a focus on serotonin, GABA, and catecholamines. Laurie explains how imbalances in these systems can contribute to anxiety, depression, and even neurodegenerative conditions. Through clinical experience and real-world examples, she outlines how targeted amino acid therapy can create meaningful changes when applied thoughtfully and individually. We also expand the discussion beyond supplementation to the lifestyle factors that support optimal brain health. From adequate protein intake and environmental toxin reduction to grounding practices and cleaner personal care products, this episode offers a holistic framework for supporting the nervous system. It is an insightful conversation for anyone interested in practical, nutrition-driven strategies to improve brain health and long-term vitality. Key takeaways: Amino acids are crucial for neurotransmitter balance, impacting mental health and overall well-being. Laurie Hammer emphasizes the therapeutic potential of tryptophan, glutamine, and the role of other essential amino acids in addressing brain and gut health. Lifestyle changes, including nutrient-rich diets, sunlight exposure, and grounding, are essential for maintaining optimal neurological health. Targeted, therapeutic supplementation of amino acids can significantly improve symptoms of anxiety and depression by nourishing the nervous system. Laurie Hammer's approach encourages tackling brain health through foundational elements like proteins, fats, and minerals, rather than solely focusing on genetic predispositions. More About Laurie Hammer: Laurie Hammer is a Functional Nutritional Therapist, speaker, and host of the Take Back My Brain Podcast. She specializes in targeted amino acid therapy and brain-first nutrition to help women—and the practitioners who serve them—overcome anxiety, overwhelm, brain fog, and burnout without relying on medications. Laurie is the creator of the Mind Thrive Amino Acid Therapy Certification and is known for her bold message: You can't medicate away a nutrient deficiency. Website Instagram Facebook Connect with me!

In this episode of the Colman Power Organic Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Michelle Ryan, breathwork coach and founder of The Holistic Leaders.Michelle and I unpack how breathwork supports leaders, entrepreneurs, and busy people who are stuck in constant go-go-go mode. We explore how dysfunctional breathing keeps people trapped in stress, why most nervous systems are frazzled, and how simple changes to the breath can bring clarity, calm, and energy back online.We also talk about leadership, nature, joy, movement, and why being successful on paper doesn't always mean feeling fulfilled in real life.This is a grounded, honest conversation about regulating your nervous system, reconnecting with your body, and leading, and living, from a more centered place.
Nervous system regulation isn't just about breathwork, cold exposure, or calming rituals. Those tools matter—but they're only half the equation. In this episode, we break down why true nervous system support is a two-way street: regulating the system and removing the internal stressors that keep the body stuck in survival mode. Dr. Halie talks about how things like gut infections, parasites, mold exposure, chronic inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies quietly drive fight-or-flight, making regulation practices feel ineffective or short-lived. If you're doing “all the right things” but still feel wired, tired, or inflamed, this episode explains why—and what a more honest, root-cause approach to nervous system healing actually looks like.Work with me HEREMinerals and Chill link (code drhalie10) Clean brands, supplements, non tox staples I love Connect with us on social media @drhalieschoff

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg open the episode by honoring Glenn Kelman's retirement from Redfin, reflecting on his leadership style, industry impact, and memorable moments. The conversation then pivots to new state-level legislation in Wisconsin and Washington targeting listing transparency, and whether laws attempting to regulate "public marketing" will actually change broker behavior—or simply create loopholes. Key Takeaways Glenn Kelman's legacy: Widely regarded as a first-ballot industry Hall of Famer for his longevity, candor, and mission-driven leadership at Redfin. Marketing vs. data: "Marketing" a listing is not the same as disclosing full MLS data—an important distinction lawmakers may be overlooking. Legislation limits: New laws requiring public marketing are difficult to define and enforce, and may fail to prevent private or limited-exposure listings. Free market tension: Over-regulation can lead to workarounds and unintended consequences rather than the transparency it aims to create. MLS role evolving: MLS participation is increasingly seen as a trade-off rather than a necessity, though inertia and seller expectations remain powerful forces.

As I think about 2026, I've realized that for the first time ever, I'm not craving more ambition, more structure, or more systems. I'm craving less, and I want to create more peace and calm in my daily life. In this episode, I'm sharing why regulating my nervous system has become one of my biggest personal goals this year, and how I'm intentionally becoming more analog to support that. We talk about overstimulation, doom scrolling, decision fatigue, and how constant input has quietly become normalized in our lives. I walk through the practical shifts I'm making - from using paper instead of apps, reading physical books, sitting in silence, reducing phone time, and creating calmer mornings and evenings - along with the mental patterns I'm unlearning around productivity, stimulation, and burnout. This is a grounded, honest conversation about slowing down, reducing noise, and creating space to actually feel calm again.Subscribe to Beyond Your Budget:https://breakyourbudget.substack.com/BREAK YOUR BUDGET RESOURCES:

So many couples tell us the same thing lately: "We don't even feel like we're choosing to react—it just happens." It can be a tone, a look, or a comment that lands wrong. And suddenly you're responding to each other's stress instead of actually talking about what's going on. When this becomes the norm, marriage starts to feel exhausting. Not because of big issues, but because you're unintentionally dysregulating each other in everyday moments. What should be simple conversations turn tense, and it leaves both people feeling misunderstood, defensive, or shut down. In this episode, we talk honestly about why emotional reactivity has become such a common struggle for couples, and what it really takes to interrupt it in real time. We unpack why reacting to tone, body language, and assumptions keeps couples stuck. Also why learning to regulate yourself first is essential if you want to de-escalate conflict instead of fueling it. This conversation is practical and grounded in what we see every day with couples who want to do better but feel caught in patterns they don't know how to stop. If you're ready to understand what's actually happening in those heated moments—and why regulation changes everything—this episode is for you.

This episode begins with research revealing which parenting behaviors leave the strongest, longest-lasting impressions — and how they shape adult relationships. https://time.com/4097995/parenting-kids-remember/ Some emotions can completely hijack your day. Anger, anxiety, frustration, and stress often feel automatic — as if you have no control once they show up. But that's not actually true. Dr. Ryan Martin explains science-backed ways to regulate emotions both before they spiral and in the moment. Ryan is Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, and author of several books on emotions, including Emotion Hacks: 50 Ways to Feel Better Fast (https://amzn.to/4qrv9fj). Laughter feels good — but why do we do it? And why do humans laugh so much more than other animals? Is laughter actually good for your health, or is it just enjoyable? And what makes something funny in the first place? Christopher Duffy joins me to unpack the science and psychology of laughter. He's a comedian, television writer, host of the TED podcast How to Be a Better Human, and author of Humor Me: How Laughing More Can Make You Present, Creative, Connected, and Happy (https://amzn.to/3LjKOyi). And finally, you've probably heard you should never let your gas tank drop below a quarter full — but is that really true? We wrap up by separating myth from reality and explaining when low fuel actually matters and when it doesn't. https://www.carparts.com/blog/fact-or-myth-driving-with-less-than-a-quarter-of-a-tank-of-fuel-is-bad-for-your-car/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this raw and powerful episode, Kristen sits down with Dr. Chris Lee—executive consultant, leadership expert, and nervous system educator—for a deeply human conversation that challenges how we think about emotional regulation, productivity, and performance.Together, they unpack why mindset alone isn't enough, why burnout is more than just a busy calendar, and how unresolved emotional patterns are silently influencing everything from our parenting to our leadership. Chris shares vulnerably from his own story of grief, trauma, and growth—and offers practical insights for learning how to regulate before you rewire.Whether you're a high performer stuck in overdrive or a parent trying to model emotional intelligence at home, this episode will shift your perspective in the best possible way.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why nervous system health is the real key to sustainable successThe difference between strategic burnout and emotional burnoutThe two most common dysregulated response types—and how to spot themHow to identify and work with your “parts” (IFS therapy breakdown)Why overstimulation (infobesity) is killing creativity and clarityChris's personal story of loss, self-leadership, and healingHow to model nervous system regulation for your kidsWhy self-care is leadership, not luxuryKey Takeaways:“If the flower doesn't bloom, you don't blame the flower—you change the environment.”High performance without regulation is a fast track to burnout.Information is no longer behind the paywall—implementation is.Kids learn emotional regulation not by what we say, but by how we live.“Regulate first. Rewire second.”About the Guest:Dr. Chris Lee is a behavioral neuroscientist, executive coach, and founder of Elemental Shift Consulting, a leadership and wellness company helping individuals and organizations build emotionally intelligent, purpose-driven systems. Every month, Dr. Chris reaches over 30 million people through his content—teaching executives, creators, and everyday humans how to better understand and befriend their nervous systems.His work focuses on the intersection of behavioral neuroscience, emotional regulation, and modern leadership—guiding people to live more purposeful, productive lives by aligning biology with intention.He's also the host of Wired for Wonder, a podcast that explores the habits, rituals, and perspectives of high-performing individuals living with meaning, creativity, and heart.Outside of consulting and content creation, Dr. Chris is a devoted homeschooling father to his extraordinary daughter and—like the rest of us—is still learning to take care of himself.To learn more, follow him on social media

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.ablueskymind.com/blog/mindful-self-management-strategies Quotes to ponder: "Self-management, in the modern world, is all about managing the flow of your attention and the way your nervous system responds to the flow of your attention."

In this episode, explains how stress is not only a mental experience but a physical one that shows up in your gut, hormones, and immune system. Emphasizes that the body follows the mind, and that chronic stress pushes the body into survival mode, blocking healing—even if you're taking high-quality supplements. Shares simple, practical tools to regulate your nervous system, including breathwork, nature time, and naming your emotions, so you can move from survival into a state where true healing is possible. Key Points: Stress lives in the body, not just the mind Chronic stress disrupts digestion and gut microbiome Stress increases systemic inflammation Prolonged stress weakens thyroid, hormones, immunity Supplements alone can't heal a stressed-out body Mindset work is foundational for real healing Regulate your nervous system while you supplement Use affirmations to shift perception and state Breathwork is a core tool to calm the body Morning slow, intentional breathing sets the tone for the day Improved heart rate variability linked to slow breathing Spend time in nature to reduce stress load Name your emotions ("I feel overwhelmed/anxious") Labeling emotions calms the amygdala (fear center) We don't heal by just pushing harder Healing happens in a safe, de-stressed state The body follows what the mind believes and repeats Seek support and help; don't carry it all alone Use breath, movement, and nature to support your nervous system Connect with Anna: Email: annamarie@happywholeyou.com / info@HappyWholeYou.com Website: www.happywholeyou.com / https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou Personal Website: www.DrAnnaMarie.com Instagram: @happywholeyou Personal Instagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie Facebook: Happy Whole You LinkedIn: Anna Marie Frank Venmo: @happywholeyou

Attached are some photos of my Grandpa Julio “Papi” who's alive still and my deceased Grandma Martha in Cuba during better times as young love birds. Fidel Castro stole everything but their love and their lives. Same with my other grandparents Rafael and Ophelia and my Mom. They lost everything but their love and their lives. Now there's hope of a free Cuba for our long lost family there and hope of making past wrongs right once again. I'm with President Trump all the way. Cuba should be a rich, island paradise and it can be as a US territory. It's a strategic asset for our safety too as a base of operations to defend our homeland in the mainland US. There's no downside to toppling the communists who've only stayed in power by killing and jailing Cubans for decades. Now is the time. It can also serve as a helpful spot to run any US/Venezuela operations that benefits America instead of a narco pass through entity used by our enemies as a constant threat to American safety. Russia, China, Venezuela and many others have used Cuba to threaten us for long enough. It's time we take control and empower the Cuban people. No American blood needs to be spilled. This can be a massive win for the future of both Cuba and more importantly, for America. It's time for the evil of communism to die. https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007882386529542519?s=20 https://twitter.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/2008187454595969240?s=20 rials monthly ($7). https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007930486438682861?s=20 https://twitter.com/RyanSaavedra/status/2007978922458444265?s=20 longer had it.

The shift weakens situational awareness at the top & reflects a belief that Islamic terror threats no longer require mayoral focus. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2008183851802337656?s=20 https://twitter.com/wcdispatch/status/2008018760746078438?s=20 done, in my opinion, an even more dishonest and incompetent job. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! Mugshot Emerges of Deranged Man Accused in Vance Home Attack, VP Blasts Media for Publishing Home Images Authorities have released the mugshot of 26-year-old William DeFoor following his arrest for allegedly attempting to break into Vice President JD Vance’s Cincinnati home with a hammer. The booking photo, posted by the Hamilton County Justice Center, also lists the charges DeFoor is facing, including vandalism, criminal trespass, criminal damaging or endangering, and obstructing official business. Cincinnati police and Secret Service agents responded swiftly to reports of the vandalism, arriving at the scene to detain the man without further incident. No one was injured, as Vance and his family had already left for Washington, D.C. at that time. https://twitter.com/JDVance/status/2008188525162721647?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2008188525162721647%7Ctwgr%5Ec29f78485445e314b120eda36408e134f4f5245a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Frusty-weiss%2F2026%2F01%2F05%2Fmugshot-emerges-of-deranged-man-accused-in-vance-home-attack-vp-blasts-media-for-publishing-home-images-n2197767 already to DC. One request to the media: we try to protect our kids as much as possible from the realities of this life of public service. In that light, I am skeptical of the news value of plastering images of our home with holes in the windows.

And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice. Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly's seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay. To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly's reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly's official and permanent military personnel file. Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days. Captain Kelly's status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action. These actions are based on Captain Kelly’s public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay. https://twitter.com/TonySeruga/status/2008201370458075286?s=20 energy, and corporatism, all are reliant on the narcos for dark funding. Just look at how they are treating Maduro? It’s like he is a rock star. Already with 5 ‘costume’ changes just today. Does Maduro look worried? THE FIX IS IN? YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP: 92-Year-Old Clinton Judge Who Denied Trump's Hush-Money Removal to Federal Court and Blocked Venezuelan Gang Deportations Now Assigned to Preside Over Maduro Case in New York President Trump Shuts Down Fake News Reporter Trying to Pit Rubio and Vance Against Each Other (AUDIO) Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One as he headed back to the White House on Sunday evening after spending the Christmas holiday at Mar-a-Lago in South Florida. President Trump shut down a fake news reporter who was trying to create a wedge between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. A legacy media reporter tried to stir up a little trouble and President Trump promptly shut her down. “What you say that Marco Rubio has your ear more than the Vice President right now?” a reporter asked President Trump. Trump shut it down. “No! They both do. JD is very smart and doing a great job and so is Marco! I would say they're equal,” Trump said. The reporter continued, “It sounds like [Rubio] is the go to and you were just talking about Cuba and what could come next there.” AUDIO: Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2008092328867869069?s=20 a plea of some sort. In fact, that may well have been pre-negotiated thereby removing the judges ability to thwart the prosecution. These images support as much. https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/2007939030839701667?s=20 election systems currently in use here have been newly examined last year by Federal authorities and are apparently FULL of illegal CCP sourced items – While @DNIGabbard is still withholding her completed official report on this, her boss is now aggressively retweeting older descriptors of evidence against Dominion and our US Election Theft Syndicate in general. This is apparently the overture of what is to come – The Secret Dominion/Huawei Data Center in Belgrade, Serbia – that emphatically and officially did not exist – DID exist and was disabled by U.S. gov employees just days prior to the 2024 election. It has now been dismantled, which may disappoint former CIA Director John Brennan, who reportedly financed half of it from the CIA ‘Black Budget.’ The other half of the funding was from our dear friends in China. That’s right, the theft of The US Presidency and multiple other elections worldwide was co-financed by our own CIA – Top Venezuelan engineers who reportedly designed and executed multiple foreign based election frauds in America using Dominion and Smartmatic systems are in America under U.S. gov protection and have provided sworn testimony. They include an engineer who personally helped illegally install Joe Biden as President in 2020 – These engineers are also joined by General Hugo Carvjal, former Head of Venezuelan Intelligence, now in jail in New York (his cellmate is Diddy Combs) and he is cooperating with Fed authorities (see below) – Another Venezuelan General has now also joined General Carvjal in providing 1st person testimony – Official state and court adduced evidence of 2020 election fraud has been compiled for every one of the battleground states. Cowardice and corruption within the American judiciary has scuttled any real progress – Georgia corruption came into better focus last month as Fulton County admitted not following the law concerning over 300K ‘votes’ and then their most corrupt state judge agreed to unseal the 2020 ‘warehouse ballots,’ many of which are officially sworn to be likely counterfeit. What a sad crooked bunch – The DOJ is suing multiple states to require compliance with Federal election laws including HAVA – Georgia is among them – and @AAGDhillon is leading the charge – President Trump pardoned Tina Peters but corrupt Colorado officials refuse to release her from prison. Colorado wants to litigate her role as a Federal officer in their elections while her health declines due to their horrible conditions. Colorado officials are going to pay dearly – An American Armada, the likes of which hasn’t been assembled in this century, sits off the coast of U.S. Election Theft Central. They are resting up after the historic strike extraction of Maduro. They will not idle long. The President promises to clean out all the cartel del Soles thugs and return Venezuela to democratic self governance. A big job but essential to keeping America safe and its enemies out of our hemisphere and out of our elections. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2007981628648206368?s=20 which gave hope to the low-morale Continental Army and boosted enlistment, and eventually led to victory. I think Trump and the US MIL were sending a message. Now is when we start winning the war against the Deep State. I think we have graduated into a new phase of the operation. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2007924998703366560?s=20 necessary for what comes later, when Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and sends US MIL to cities nationwide. If the US MIL are going to conduct mass arrests, the public will need to trust them and trust Trump. So for those asking why Trump is arresting Maduro before arresting treasonous actors in the US, I think there is method to the madness. The high-profile US arrests will likely be towards the end, after more of the public are fully bought in on the operation to dismantle the Deep State. Arresting people is the easy part. Convincing billions of people that high-profile individuals, including former heads of state, need to be arrested… that's the tricky part. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2008033626294792665?s=20 https://twitter.com/USDOL/status/2007933111729021305?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

Your gut's nervous system directly influences whether you tolerate foods or react to them, making it a key factor in food sensitivities and allergy risk A tiny nerve messenger called the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) tells your gut stem cells how to rebuild the intestinal lining; when VIP drops, your gut produces too many tuft cells that trigger allergy like inflammation Everyday exposures — like microplastics, seed oils, and emulsifiers found in processed foods — damage tight junction proteins, weaken your gut barrier, and increase the flow of irritants into your bloodstream Low vitamin D, disrupted sleep, and high stress interfere with your gut's ability to maintain barrier integrity and calm immune activity, raising your vulnerability to allergic reactions You can lower your allergy risk by supporting mitochondrial function, removing gut damaging triggers, restoring healthy carbs in the right order, and improving the nerve-gut connection that regulates intestinal healing

Hey Guys, You know that moment when you walk through your house and think, "I need to do something about this" — and then life pulls you in another direction? This episode is about why that happens, especially for women who spend their lives taking care of everyone else — and how to finally stop the cycle without shame, pressure, or burnout. When your nervous system is taxed from doing, managing, and holding everything together, your home often becomes the last thing you tend to. And then the guilt sets in. But clutter isn't a personal failure — it's a physiological response to overload. The 4-Step Reset You'll Practice When you notice stress or shame rising around clutter: 1. Label the feeling – Name what's actually happening in your body 2. Somatic anchoring – Place your hands on your body to signal safety 3. Exposure + acceptance – Stay present instead of avoiding 4. Self-compassion – Acknowledge that you were doing the best you could This is how change starts — without forcing yourself to "do more." Important Reminder You can start with your nervous system. You can start with your home. Either way, you're moving toward regulation and order — as long as you're not doing it from pressure, shame, or control. Regulate your nervous system, take action, and your identity shifts as a result. ⸻ Want Support Doing This Consistently? The year-long program is open. It's where we do this together, week by week — with structure, nervous system support, and accountability. You can learn more at declutteryourchaos.com XO, Amber
