Podcasts about repeating

New goals, new year, the next phase...doesn't automatically create new results.It feels good; I mean who doesn't love a new planner and a clean slate? But without real change, they often lead right back to the same patterns, the same habits, and the same outcomes.In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett break down why you don't need a fresh start, you need new standards, clearer awareness, and a willingness to act differently than you have before.This conversation moves past motivation and into something far more practical: understanding why last year unfolded the way it did, and what actually has to change for the next one to look different.In this episode, we discuss:Why fresh starts often fail without identity changeThe difference between setting goals and changing standardsHow repeating the same behaviors recreates the same yearWhy awareness matters more than motivationHow to use past results as data—not judgmentWhat it really takes to create lasting changeThis episode isn't about starting over.It's about breaking the cycle.

In this episode, the EBB Research Team is answering three questions we received from our Pro Members! We take a close look at the evidence behind doula presence in the operating room, the risk of experiencing another severe perineal tear after a previous injury, and what white coat hypertension in pregnancy can tell us about future risk. Each question reflects real situations birth workers are encountering in practice, where guidance is often inconsistent, policies vary widely, and the research can feel hard to translate into day-to-day care. We walk through what the studies show, where the evidence is limited, and how this information can be used to support informed, individualized decision-making.

Hello Spirit Talkers

Switching things up in your business is hard, whether what you're doing is working or not. Change can feel risky, uncomfortable, and even unnecessary when things are "good enough." But so often, I see entrepreneurs hit a little success… and then stay there. Years go by, burnout creeps in, and what once felt exciting starts to feel heavy. Not because you failed, but because you never allowed yourself to evolve. Growth requires movement, and comfort can quietly keep you stuck. In today's episode, I'm unpacking the why behind our resistance to change and encouraging you to take an honest look at where you might be holding on too tightly. It may be time to pivot, refine, or completely switch things up, not because you're failing, but because you're ready for more. Important Links: Lacking the tools to reach your goals in business?

Most coaches are trained to do one thing well: either push clients forward with action and accountability or take them deep with insight and awareness. Great coaches do both — at the same time. In this episode of The Art School of Coaching, I break down what it actually means to move a client deep and forward simultaneously, why most coaching training fails to teach this skill, and how that gap leads to unsustainable results, resistance, and client frustration. You'll learn: Why action without depth creates temporary change Why insight without tools increases overwhelm The psychology behind sustainable behavior change The ABC Model (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence) and how it's used in evidence-based coaching How to rework beliefs and implement aligned behavior for lasting results If you want to coach using science-backed frameworks, create deeper client transformations, and build a coaching practice based on science — this episode is for you.

In the journey of personal development, most of our lives are not crafted by decisions but by unseen patterns we practice, often unknowingly. These patterns can leave us feeling stuck, frustrated, and unable to move forward. Have you ever felt like you're trying to think your way out of habits that weren't created by thinking? You might feel more frustrated than when you started, but the solution lies in recognizing these patterns and consciously reshaping them. The Difference Between Knowing and DoingAwareness is a powerful first step, but it's not enough to rewire your brain. You might be aware of habits and still find yourself repeating them. It's about replacing willpower with rewiring—developing new patterns that ease the journey from where you are to where you want to be. Remember, knowing is recognition, and change is retraining. How the Brain Forms HabitsNeurons that fire together wire together, creating a network that grows stronger with repetition. Whether you want to become a morning person or develop any new habit, repetition is key. Yet, repetitions are challenging when results aren't immediate. This common struggle in areas like weight loss or emotional clarity shows why you need to pair repetitive actions with small rewards to maintain motivation.The Importance of Repetition and EmotionRepetition strengthens pathways, but emotion locks them in, solidifying new habits. Attach emotional significance to your actions—whether joyful or sad—to solidify positive changes. By implementing this practice, the transformations you seek can extend into all aspects of your life.Training Your Brain for Positive ChangeYour brain is not failing you; it's doing what it's trained to do. If you're aware of unproductive patterns, retrain your mind. For instance, if you're conditioned to seek sweets after meals, you can consciously reshape that habit. Changing requires fewer repetitions of old patterns while increasing repetitions of new, positive ones—essentially weakening the undesirable habits.Small Steps for Big ChangesEver start a new venture and feel demotivated by initial setbacks? It's a common cycle: try, criticize yourself, and then feel stuck. But by introducing small reps—such as giving yourself grace or acknowledging progress—you interrupt this cycle. The journey to sustainable change involves small, consistent steps rather than drastic actions.Identifying and Breaking Negative PatternsTo make meaningful progress, identify the pattern or habit you wish to change. This involves acknowledging the existing pattern, then gradually incorporating new habits. For example, if nighttime scrolling is a pattern, plan small steps to interrupt and replace it with positive alternatives.Conclusion: Embrace the JourneyIf life feels repetitive, don't question your worth.

The American think tank Council on Foreign Relations has ranked the ten best and worst decisions in U.S. foreign policy history. Now, as Washington grows more skeptical of multilateralism, reassesses alliances more transactionally, and returns to tariffs and sanctions, history feels closer than ever. What lessons—and what warnings—does America's diplomatic past hold for today? Host Ge Anna is joined by Zoon Ahmed Khan, Research Fellow at the Center for China and Globalization; Josef Mahoney, Professor of Politics and International Relations at East China Normal University; and Dr. Liu Kuangyu, Researcher at the Institute of Taiwan Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, Matt explains why people get stuck in the OCD and anxiety loop, why fear keeps self-perpetuating, and why trying to fix the “theme” never truly works.If you've been asking yourself, “Why am I stuck in this loop?” — the answer may not be what you think. Fear isn't something outside of you that needs to be controlled. It's an internal state that must be confronted and released from within.Rather than chasing thoughts, analyzing themes, or trying to eliminate symptoms, this episode explores how projection keeps the loop alive — and how turning inward is the real path to breaking it.

If you feel like you keep ending up in the same relationship with a different person, this episode explains why.In the Season 12 premiere of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, Erica breaks down the real reason relationship patterns repeat after divorce. Not because you're broken, unlucky, or choosing the “wrong” people, but because unhealed wounds, nervous system responses, and unconscious expectations are still running the show.This episode explores the space between rushing back into dating and avoiding it altogether. Erica walks through the three core lessons that determine whether you're actually ready for a new relationship. She explains how partners become emotional stand-ins, why asking someone else to regulate your happiness creates resentment, and how to tell the difference between a “me problem” and a “we problem.”You'll also hear why even the right person can trigger you, how old wounds from betrayal and infidelity resurface in new relationships, and why triggers are information, not proof that you're failing at healing. You'll learn:Why repeating relationship patterns after divorce is common and preventableHow to tell the difference between a personal trigger and a real relationship issueWhat “jumping through hoops” looks like and why it destroys connectionHow divorce rewires your nervous system and impacts dating readinessWhy asking a partner to make you happy creates resentmentHow unhealed wounds from betrayal show up in new relationshipsWhy triggers are data, not red flagsHow to stop outsourcing emotional regulation to a partnerWhat it means to enter a relationship whole instead of looking to be completedHow divorce can become a blueprint for healthier relationships moving forwardWe talk about:00:00 Wondering if you're ready to date again02:00 Why people rush back into dating or avoid it completely04:00 Divorce as a nervous system reset06:00 “Me problem vs we problem” in relationships08:00 How relationships mirror unhealed wounds10:00 Why expecting a partner to complete you creates pressure12:00 Jumping through emotional hoops and resentment14:00 Self-imposed expectations and burnout16:00 Cleaning up your side of the street18:00 The stories your mind creates when triggered20:00 Infidelity wounds and anxiety in new relationships22:00 Communicating triggers instead of assuming meaning24:00 Why even good partners will trigger you26:00 Using triggers as information, not danger28:00 Recognizing repeating conflict patterns30:00 Choosing new responses instead of old reactions32:00 Why divorce gives you tools to never let it get that bad againLinks Mentioned in the ShowLooking for support on your journey?

She was never afraid of the dark. That's the part that still doesn't make sense to her.Whatever unsettled her didn't arrive with fear or spectacle. It showed up quietly, over time, in ways that were easy to dismiss in the moment and harder to forget later. Small interruptions. Repeating sensations. The sense that something noticed her before she noticed it.Years passed. Life moved forward. She told herself those early experiences belonged to a different version of her—someone younger, less grounded, easier to unsettle. But certain habits never faded. Certain reactions never quite relaxed.As an adult, in a different house, she begins to recognize the same familiar tension returning. Not loudly. Not dramatically.

Travis and producer Eric break down a viral tweet questioning Dave Ramsey's $200M net worth and "no debt" advice, revealing why he's likely worth over a billion and how he built a debt-free empire preaching timeless financial basics. On this episode we talk about: A tweet claiming Dave Ramsey got rich selling "no credit card" advice he never followed himself. Ramsey Solutions' massive scale: 10M EveryDollar app users, $300M+ annual revenue, $300-400M in paid-off real estate. Why similar apps (TrueBill/Rocket Money) sold for $1.275B, proving Ramsey's hidden billionaire status. How to vet advice from "sellers" like coaches/authors without dismissing all profitable wisdom. The power of repeating simple truths (like "spend less than you make") for decades like Ramsey or Gary Vee. Top 3 Takeaways Practice beats preaching. Ramsey lives debt-free, owns everything outright, and scaled to billions without outside capital—proving his advice works at massive scale. Question financial incentives, but don't auto-discount. If someone's advice only makes them richer via high-ticket coaching, probe deeper; low-price scalability (books/courses) is often more legit. Boring repetition builds empires. Dave's said "spend less than you earn" for 30+ years; Gary Vee's hammered social/content for 20—find your core truth and repeat relentlessly. Notable Quotes "Dave Ramsey didn't get to $200 million by never using a credit card... He got to $200 million by selling that idea to you."  "EveryDollar is a multi-billion dollar company. Rocket Money (TrueBill) sold for $1.275B with 10M users—Ramsey owns it 100% debt-free." "He's been preaching the same message for 30 years and still debt is at an all-time high... but he's made a big dent for tons of people."

You know the pattern is there. You've seen it loop enough times to wonder if the universe is taking notes. If you've ever felt like certain doors refuse to open, or open too easily at exactly the wrong moment...this conversation reveals what's been quietly influencing your choices before you even made them.Episode Overview Astrologer and intuitive guide Gabrielle Celeste joins Will and Karen to explore how consciousness, astrology, and subconscious patterns shape the decisions we think we're making freely. This isn't about horoscopes or vague predictions. It's about understanding why specific themes keep surfacing in your relationships, career, and timing, and what your birth chart reveals about the patterns you're unconsciously running.Gabrielle shares her journey from corporate fall guy to full-time astrologer, explains how your chart functions as a cosmic roadmap (not a prison sentence), and breaks down the difference between sun, moon, and rising signs in terms anyone can grasp.She also delivers a sobering forecast for 2026, including a February week that demands your attention.Questions This Episode AnswersIs your birth chart a cosmic blueprint or a predetermined sentence? Gabrielle explains what your natal chart actually captures, and whether you're stuck with what it reveals.Why does knowing you're a Gemini (or any sun sign) tell you almost nothing about yourself? Discover which of the "big three" astrological placements reveals the truest expression of your soul, and why most people are reading astrology backwards.How do professional astrologers actually see what's coming? Gabrielle reveals how she blends chart readings with intuition, numerology, and shamanic training, and shares examples of eerily specific predictions that came true years later.What separates ethical spiritual practitioners from the grifters? Hear Gabrielle's unfiltered take on what's required before you're qualified to hold space for others...and why bypassing your own shadow work harms the people you claim to serve.What astrological events in 2026 should actually be on your radar? Gabrielle breaks down the most significant transits of the year, including a cosmically loaded week in February and why October/November might echo unfinished business from 2018.How can you tell when you're resisting alignment versus actually lacking it? Gabrielle offers a surprisingly simple divination tool you already have...no chart required.Why This Conversation Is Different Gabrielle doesn't sell certainty or comfort. She acknowledges the paradox of free will versus cosmic influence without pretending to have all the answers. She's transparent about what astrology can't predict (and what she refuses to touch, like exact death dates). She calls out grifters in the spiritual space who chase profit over purpose. And she frames astrology not as mystical fortune-telling, but as a practical lens for understanding subconscious blocks, timing friction, and recurring life patterns; concepts skeptics can respect even if they don't "believe."This episode avoids both spiritual bypassing and cynical dismissiveness. It's grounded, curious, and refreshingly honest about the limits of any single system.For the Skeptic Still Reading You don't have to believe in astrology for patterns to exist in your life. You don't have to accept fate to recognize that certain themes keep surfacing. Gabrielle's work, whether you interpret it as cosmic influence or psychological archetype, offers a framework for seeing what you've been unconsciously repeating. If nothing else, it's a mirror. And mirrors don't lie, even when the reflection makes you uncomfortable.Curiosity isn't gullibility. Exploring astrology doesn't mean abandoning critical thinking. It means asking: What if there's a structure I haven't noticed yet?Listen If You Want ToUnderstand why astrology goes far deeper than daily horoscopesLearn what your rising sign, moon sign, and houses actually meanHear how one woman went from corporate scandal to professional astrologerGet a heads-up on 2026's most intense astrological windowsExplore the intersection of intuition, shadow work, and consciousnessQuestion whether free will and cosmic blueprints can coexistTopics: spiritual awakening, astrology, consciousness, intuition, natal chart, shadow work, metaphysics, soul purpose, modern spirituality, Saturn return, subconscious patterns Speical Offer:Use the code "20AGUA" for 20% off any of the services listed on her website.Connect with Gabrielle CelesteWebsite: https://www.aguaastrology.comSpiritual Sisters Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/76R1e2m64NVuAzfp9cBuOXInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aguaastrologyListener Survey:Help shape the future of the Skeptic Metaphysicians.

Just in time for #BlackHistoryMonth #theegalenjwilliams out here converting ebonics to polite 18th-century gathering....Bahaha! The Count of Monte Cristo is being revisited by African American readers, who see it as a story of survival and excellence in a world designed to erase them. The book's themes of betrayal, political turmoil, and the pursuit of justice resonate with the experiences of black professionals navigating systemic barriers. The upcoming PBS adaptation and a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Dumas are fueling a cultural reclamation of his heritage and a deeper appreciation for the novel's complexities. Repeating anti-inflammatory protocol. The "Farm-to-Mug" Daily Anti-Inflammatory Protocol This schedule optimizes your body's natural circadian rhythms to dampen "meta-inflammation" throughout the day. Morning: The "Activation" Phase 07:00 AM – Hydration Kickstart: Drink 12oz of warm lemon water. The citric acid aids digestion and provides an immediate Vitamin C boost to lower oxidative stress. 08:00 AM – The Neural Clarity Tea: Simmer your rosemary and ginger for 10 minutes (covered). Add a teaspoon of raw honey. This opens up circulation and provides a neuroprotective start to your workday. 09:30 AM – Anti-Inflammatory Harvest Juice: Using the ingredients from your indoor garden, juice celery and red-fleshed apple with a pinch of turmeric and black pepper. Afternoon: The "Maintenance" Phase 01:00 PM – The "Big Harvest" Salad: Use a base of the dark leafy greens visible in your photo (Kale and Chard). 03:00 PM – Movement Break: A 10-minute brisk walk. Physical activity helps "flush" cytokines from the muscle tissue and improves insulin sensitivity. Evening: The "Recovery" Phase 07:00 PM – Low-Glycemic Dinner: Focus on healthy fats (omega-3s) like salmon or walnuts, paired with more garden-fresh veggies. 09:00 PM – Digital Detox: Chronic inflammation is tied to cortisol.

Most smart women don't stay stuck in fertility treatment because they aren't trying hard enough. They stay stuck because the same pattern keeps repeating, even when the outcomes don't change. If you've done multiple cycles, followed every recommendation, tried different protocols, and still ended up with the same results, this episode is for you. This isn't about which supplement to take or what protocol to ask for next. It's about how fertility decisions are being made, and why that matters more than effort. In this episode, I break down the common patterns I see that keep people looping through treatment without getting real clarity. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why clinics often move straight to "try again" instead of stopping to look at what's actually happening How following the plan can feel safe, even when the plan isn't working Why being busy in treatment isn't the same as making progress How fear of rocking the boat keeps people doing the familiar, even when it's disappointing The quiet cost of time, money, and energy when nothing truly changes I also share why I created the Embryo Audit Checklist. Not to give you more things to do, but to help you step back and look at your own data clearly so you can see patterns instead of reacting to the next suggestion. Email hello@fabfertile.ca subject line CHECKLIST for your copy. I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. This episode is for you if: You've done "everything right" but the outcomes keep repeating You feel like you're always doing something but not moving forward You want to understand what's missing before committing to another cycle

Ray Zinn—longtime CEO of Micrel Semiconductor and the longest-serving CEO of a publicly traded company in Silicon Valley history—doesn't believe the real problem is making mistakes. He believes the real failure is repeating the same mistake without fixing it. Episode page with links, video, and more In this episode of My Favorite Mistake, Ray shares leadership lessons from nearly four decades running Micrel, including why popular slogans like “fail fast, fail often” can actually normalize bad habits, how leaders unintentionally punish learning, and what it takes to build a culture focused on honesty, accountability, and fast problem-solving instead of blame. Ray also reflects on how losing his eyesight in his late 50s fundamentally changed the way he led—forcing him to listen more deeply, trust others more fully, and become a more empathetic leader. Those experiences shaped his approach to leadership and his latest book, The Essential Leader. If you care about learning from mistakes, building strong cultures, and leading without fear or ego, this conversation will challenge—and sharpen—your thinking.

You did the vision work. You got clear. Your team leaned in. And yet—somehow—you were still in the middle. Still answering questions. Still resolving decisions. Still carrying the weight of the business. In this episode, we unpack why that happens, why it's not a failure of vision or leadership, and why belief without structure actually creates more dependence, not less. Vision does exactly what it's supposed to do—it creates belief, alignment, and care. But belief alone doesn't create action. When teams don't have clear decision rules, ownership, and boundaries, caring actually makes them more cautious, not more autonomous. Vision fails when leaders expect inspiration to replace infrastructure—and end up becoming the system instead. Key Takeaways Vision creates belief, but belief without structure creates hesitation When people care but don't feel safe deciding, everything escalates back to the owner Being the bottleneck isn't a control issue—it's a missing translation issue Repeating the vision doesn't create autonomy; it often creates dependence Teams revert to what's clearest under pressure—and that's usually the owner Managing returns when vision isn't translated into priorities, ownership, and decision rights Vision didn't fail—you just stopped halfway Even though the Vision Workshop has already happened, you can still get full access to the replay. If this episode helped you see why vision alone didn't free you—and what was missing—the workshop walks you through how to translate vision into structure, decision-making, and leadership systems that actually stick.  Get the Vision Workshop replay here: https://aibusinessscalingblueprint.com/vision2026

Having the same argument with someone you care about, over and over? This week in the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast I'm digging into what's really going on when you keep having the same argument every time and how repeating arguments in relationships leaves you exhausted, anxious, and second-guessing yourself. I break down the link between recurring arguments, relationship conflict, and mental health, and why we keep arguing about the same things instead of fixing what's underneath. You'll learn how to stop the same fight from hijacking your interactions, how to break arguing patterns, and practical ways to move towards healthier communication in relationships, so you can reduce relationship stress, protect your peace, and actually build better relationships that support your mental wellbeing. This is practical mental health advice that really helps if you're feeling stuck in your relationship or trapped in your own head by constant rows, with simple tools you can use to respond differently and feel calmer… even when things are tense. 

If you've ever thought, “We're doing good work… so why is nobody paying attention?” this episode is going to hit close to home. I sat down with Amy Kehs, who's spent decades helping museums, including the Smithsonian, go from overlooked to deeply loved. And while her background is in museums, everything we talk about applies directly to creators, solopreneurs, and small businesses.We dig into why marketing alone isn't cutting it anymore, especially in a world where people are overwhelmed with messages all day long. Amy breaks down the real difference between marketing, advertising, and public relations, and why PR builds trust faster because it relies on relationships, credibility, and other people talking about you. We also talk about brand messaging, customer experience, and why being “a hidden gem” is usually a relevance problem, not a visibility problem.This episode is all about creating brand love. Not louder promotion, not more content, but clearer messaging, better experiences, and trust that compounds over time.----------------------Key TakeawaysPR builds trust faster than marketing: People believe what others say about you more than what you say about yourself.Being ignored is usually a relevance problem: If people don't quickly understand why you matter, more promotion won't help.Clear messaging beats clever messaging: Repeating a simple, consistent message is how brands become memorable.Experience is part of the brand: Websites, emails, and first impressions shape trust long before someone buys.Earned media validates decisions: Third-party mentions reassure people they're making the right choice.Relationships compound over time: Long-term trust and loyalty outperform short-term attention every timeLinksAmy Kehs: www.lovemymuseum.comAmy's FREE Resources: https://www.lovemymuseum.com/resourcesLove My Museum Podcast: www.lovemymuseum.com/podcastThe Unsinkable Conor Brown: www.vacationkingdoms.com----------------------Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts. - Get 15% off your first payment with promo code JEFF15SocialMediaNewsLive.com - Dive into our website for comprehensive episode breakdowns.

Break free from repeating cycles with this powerful energy clearing session. If you keep experiencing the same relationship patterns, financial situations, or self-sabotage despite your best efforts to change, this clearing addresses the subconscious programming creating those cycles. This clearing uses the Eraser Method™ to release: • Subconscious patterns creating repeating experiences • Beliefs that generate the same situations in different forms • Emotional wounds that attract similar circumstances • Karmic patterns and soul contracts • Family and ancestral cycles you've inherited • Programming that recreates familiar struggle • Energetic patterns that keep you stuck in loops Perfect for anyone experiencing repeating relationship patterns, recurring financial issues, cycles of self-sabotage, the same problems in different forms, or feeling like they're stuck on a hamster wheel despite working hard to change. This energy clearing works at the root level where cycles originate - in your subconscious programming, energetic field, and sometimes past life patterns. You may experience insights about why cycles have been repeating, emotional releases as patterns clear, or simply relief as the loop finally breaks. After this clearing, you'll notice old patterns stop repeating. New experiences become possible. You're free to create different outcomes instead of cycling through the same situations.

Add your email id here to get this directly to your inbox.Do subscribe to show Minimalist Techie over Apple Or Spotify Or YouTube podcast (Click on Hyperlinks for Apple Or on Spotify Or on YouTube) or hear it over email you received through my subscription or on my website.This weekly newsletter is mostly about the article, books, videos etc. I read or watch or my views on different topics which revolves around my head during the week.Point discussed in this Podcast,The People Who Push You Are the Ones Who Believe in You1. Why Growth Often Feels Uncomfortable Most of us like encouragement. We like praise. We like people who tell us, “You're doing great, just relax.”But real growth rarely comes from comfort.Think about it:Every major transformation in life—career, health, confidence, independence—starts with discomfort. Learning something new feels awkward. Being pushed feels annoying. Being challenged can feel personal.And that's where confusion starts.We often mistake care for control,expectation for pressure,and belief for criticism.But the truth is simple and uncomfortable:People who truly believe in your potential don't let you stay stuck.2. The Difference Between Pressure and BeliefNot everyone who pushes you is doing it for the right reasons—but not everyone who pushes you is against you either.Let's separate two things:Toxic pressure:* Comes from ego* Focuses on comparison* Ignores your limits* Makes you feel smallBelief-driven challenge:* Comes from long-term thinking* Focuses on your independence* Wants you to stand on your own feet* May feel tough, but aims to make you strongerPeople who believe in you see what you could become, not just what you are today.And that gap—between today and potential—is uncomfortable.3. Why We Resist Being Pushed (Psychology of Resistance) Most people don't resist effort.They resist responsibility.Being pushed means:* You can no longer blame circumstances* You can no longer wait for “the right time”* You can no longer stay dependentGrowth removes excuses.And that's scary.When someone pushes us to:* Learn a new skill* Become independent* Earn our own living* Build confidence…it silently says: “You're capable of more.”But if we don't believe that ourselves yet, it feels like an attack.So instead of asking:“Why is this person pushing me?”We react with:“Why can't they just let me be?”4. Support Doesn't Always Look GentleMovies and social media show support as:* Soft words* Constant validation* No confrontationReal-life support is different.Real support looks like:* Teaching you things you avoid* Repeating lessons you didn't take seriously* Holding you accountable when you procrastinate* Expecting effort even when motivation is lowThe irony is:The people who care the least will never challenge you.They'll let you drift.They'll let you stay dependent.They'll let you settle.Because pushing someone takes energy, patience, and emotional investment.5. The Misinterpretation: “They're Doing This for Their Benefit” One of the most common misunderstandings is assuming motives.People often think:* “They want control”* “They're doing this for money”* “They're benefiting from my effort”* “They're being selfish”But most of the time, the truth is simpler:They don't want to see you struggle later.They see the future risks:* Financial dependence* Skill gaps* Loss of confidence* Missed opportunitiesAnd they're trying to prevent that—early.Short-term discomfortvsLong-term regretThat's the choice.6. The Silent Cost of Not Listening Early Let's talk consequences—not emotionally, but practically.When people ignore those who push them:* Skills stagnate* Confidence erodes* Options shrink* Dependency growsAnd years later, when life forces change:* Job loss* Financial pressure* Health issues* Family responsibilitiesThey wish someone had pushed them earlier.Growth delayed is not growth avoided—it's growth made harder.7. How to Receive Tough Support the Right Way When someone pushes you, ask yourself:1. Are they consistent?People who believe in you don't give up after one conversation.2. Do they invest time, not just words?Teaching, guiding, correcting—that's effort.3. Are they pushing toward independence?Real belief aims to make you self-sufficient, not dependent.4. Are they okay if you eventually don't need them?That's the biggest sign of genuine intent.If the answer is yes—even if delivery isn't perfect—listen.8. For the Ones Doing the Pushing: How to Do It Without Breaking Relationships This is important too.If you're the one challenging others:* Communicate why, not just what* Separate expectations from emotions* Give space for learning curves* Accept that growth has its own timelinePush with patience.Challenge without humiliation.Believe without controlling.And understand:Not everyone will appreciate it immediately.Some realizations arrive years later.9. Growth Is a Shared Journey Every strong person you admire had:* Someone who didn't let them quit* Someone who asked more from them* Someone who believed before they didGrowth is rarely a solo journey.The people who challenge you aren't obstacles.They're mirrors—showing you what you're capable of becoming.And one day, when you look back,you may realize the pressure wasn't punishment—It was preparation.“Not everyone who pushes you is against you.Sometimes, they're the only ones who believe you're capable of more than you currently see in yourself.”That is all for this week.

In this mini manifesting series, we explore a quieter but more powerful truth: we attract experiences that match our level of regulation. In part 3.5, we introduce attachment styles as a framework for understanding how regulated we feel , not as labels, but as patterns that show up in work, opportunity, and uncertainty, not just relationships. Life responds to who you're practiced at being, which is why the same dynamics can repeat across people, projects, or seasons until something internally shifts. In this portion of the series, we focuse on the identity shift that changes everything. Manifestation is embodiment, not hope. We contrast the energy of doubting with the energy of expecting safety, support, and alignment, and explore how identity lives in posture, boundaries, pacing, and daily choice. When identity shifts, urgency fades, discernment grows, and chasing stops- including in love. Confidence doesn't come from proving; it comes from deciding who you are. We close with a practical takeaway: regulation is magnetism. Safety creates expansion. Through simple nervous system practices and identity reinforcement, we show how small moments, before responding, committing, or seeking validation - are where manifestation actually happens. You don't manifest by force. You attract through regulation. Embodiment is a daily practice, a relationship with your body, and a commitment to self-worth. Becoming magnetic isn't about becoming more, it's about becoming safer in yourself.

Why Democrats Keep Losing: Abandoning Voters, Misreading Power & Repeating the Same Errors | The Karel Show At a recent California forum featuring Democratic candidates for governor, LGBTQ issues weren't mentioned at all. Not once. That silence says more than any speech. Then Elizabeth Warren suggested that to “win,” Democrats should abandon social issues and focus only on affordability. The strategy? Shed the so-called distractions, chase the middle, and assume marginalized voters have nowhere else to go. That logic is exactly how Democrats lose. When core voters feel erased, they don't switch parties — they stay home. And staying home is how elections are lost. Again. Meanwhile, Donald Trump retreats in Minneapolis — but is it far too late? And as Democrats threaten to fire or impeach Kristi Noem, a simple question hangs in the air: if the votes exist to impeach her, why not him? We also break down a viral Reddit post mocking The Farmer's Wife over a $22 grilled cheese — a pile-on that led to both locations shutting down. Why are individual restaurants being publicly shamed while massive grocery chains and corporate food pricing escape the same scrutiny? This episode asks a hard but necessary question: When will Democrats stop misreading their own coalition — and start fighting like they actually want to win? The Karel Show is live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST, streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more — and simulcast on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Jillian sits down with Jay Shetty to talk about what “the work” in love actually looks like — in real time. Jay shares why he created Messy Love (his Audible Original), where listeners get to “sit in the room” with real couples as they navigate cheating narratives, unmet expectations, old wounds, and the messy middle between conflict and connection. Jillian and Jay unpack why compassion isn't permissive — it's structured, boundaried, and powerful — and why most relationship fights spiral into accusation, criticism, and defense… leaving zero room for love. If you've ever wondered whether you're asking your partner to change…or asking them to be someone they're simply not, this episode will land.

If you've been told your failed IVF cycle was "just bad luck" or blamed on "egg quality," that explanation is incomplete. Bad luck is not a diagnosis. It simply means the underlying biological patterns have not yet been identified. IVF is a technical process that happens in a lab, but embryos still develop inside a living biological environment. If inflammation, energy production, immune signaling, or sperm DNA integrity are compromised, no protocol change alone can override that physiology. Repeating cycles without deeper interpretation often leads to the same outcomes, higher costs, and more emotional exhaustion. In this episode, I walk through the three biological patterns I consistently see behind embryo arrest, poor blast development, failed transfers, and unexplained IVF failure. More importantly, you'll learn how to use your past cycles as meaningful data so you can stop guessing and start making more strategic decisions before another round. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a technically "perfect" IVF cycle can still fail despite good labs and protocols How low cellular energy production impacts embryo development and early growth Why sperm DNA fragmentation often matters long before clinics flag it as abnormal How oxidative stress, inflammation, hormonal signaling, and metabolic strain influence embryo quality How to interpret repeated IVF outcomes instead of labeling them as unexplained or bad luck I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. This episode is for you if: You've experienced embryo arrest, failed transfers, or repeated IVF cycles without clear answers You've been told everything looks "normal" but results keep falling short You want a smarter way to evaluate what your body is signaling before investing in another cycle

Why does an absent or emotionally unavailable father affect your relationships as a man? In this episode, David breaks down how growing up without consistent masculine presence shapes attachment, emotional regulation, and intimacy in adult relationships.

It's about responsibility, nervous system healing, masculine leadership, and doing the deep relational work required to create secure, grounded, and fulfilling relationships.     Key Topics Covered: ⭐ The real impact of an absent or emotionally unavailable father ⭐ How father wounds shape attachment styles in men ⭐ Avoidant attachment, fear of intimacy, and emotional shutdown ⭐ Hyper-independence and distrust in relationships ⭐ Performance, success, and "never feeling good enough" ⭐ Shame cycles, conflict avoidance, and lack of repair ⭐ Why men choose unavailable partners ⭐ Repeating your father's patterns unconsciously ⭐ Difficulty receiving love and reassurance ⭐ Healing father wounds through relationship ⭐ Inner child work and masculine reparenting ⭐ Nervous system regulation and emotional capacity ⭐ Learning repair, leadership, and secure intimacy   ➡️ Join the Waitlist "Relate" https://forms.gle/2AXhmyNweasETaso7  Connect With David – The Authentic Man: Instagram: / theauthenticman_ Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/ For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe    

A fire in a public venue happened again. No, I am not talking about the one in Switzerland. Since the tragic New Year celebration, we had one more near-miss in Madrid on Jan 10th 2026... In fact, who knows how many we actually had? It is a tragedy that feels like it is playing on repeat... In this podcast episode, we try to dig into why nightclub fires follow the same script decade after decade—what are the parts of the pattern, and what can we do through smarter design, honest modelling, and real enforcement. With guest Lazaros Filippidis from the Fire Safety Engineering Group at the University of Greenwich, we map the chain of failure: combustible acoustic treatments under low ceilings, narrow or locked exits, stair “chimneys” that pull smoke toward escaping crowds, and furniture layouts that turn doors into traps.We talk about human behaviour. People head for the entrance they know. They hesitate when cues conflict—especially if pyrotechnics were part of the show minutes earlier. Phones come out. People respond in such a way not because people are foolish, but because recognition takes time in loud, dark, crowded spaces. The fix isn't shaming; it's designing for how people really act: outward‑opening doors, multiple distributed exits, better signage, immediate lights up and music down, and staff who redirect flow on instinct.For engineers, we go beyond textbook ASET vs RSET and show how coupled fire–evacuation modeling reveals the true picture as heat, irritants, and visibility degrade movement and decision‑making. We make the case for sensitivity analyses: add more patrons, block an exit, switch to ultra‑fast fire growth, drop a service trolley into a corridor, and see in what scenarios your modelling results collapse. We can find the bottlenecks, and if we do, we can fix them. With practical tools—from zone models to agent‑based simulators—you can find vulnerabilities before opening night and recommend changes that add crucial minutes or even seconds.It was a tough episode to record, especially since there is not much new we have learnt about human behaviour or fire growth in such facilities... I hope this provides some food for thought and fuels future design considerations.If you are interested in modelling done with buildingExodus, for which Lazaros is one of the developers, please go and visit the FSEG website.----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Many believers are fighting patterns they cannot explain because they do not recognize the spiritual forces influencing them. I expose how blessings and curses operate, how words and agreements authorize the unseen realm, and why recurring cycles in health, relationships, or finances are often signals of something deeper at work. This teaching will help you recognize what has been affecting your life and show you how God empowers His people to break patterns and walk in freedom.   Podcast Episode 2003: How to Break Cycles in 2026 That Keep Repeating Themselves! | don't miss this!

In this essential episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco sits down with Sheila Holm for a powerful and revealing conversation that connects past conflicts with present-day global events. What begins as a discussion about Cuba quickly expands into a much larger examination of history, power, and the forces shaping today's geopolitical landscape. Sheila breaks down the historical roots of Cuba's strategic importance, tracing key developments back to the Spanish-American War and forward through decades of influence affecting Mexico, Venezuela, and the broader Western Hemisphere. The conversation explores how long-standing policies, misinformation, and unresolved power struggles continue to echo into modern politics — and why recent signals surrounding Cuba deserve serious attention. Together, Michael and Sheila examine the roles played by pivotal figures such as Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, the strategic importance of the Panama Canal, and the lasting impact of the Rough Riders. They also challenge commonly accepted narratives, revealing how history is often reshaped to obscure deeper strategic motives. The discussion expands into modern geopolitical maneuvering, the restructuring taking place across global power centers, and the leadership challenges that come with confronting entrenched systems. Sheila reflects on the idea of “the man in the arena” — the reality faced by those who step forward to lead, take responsibility, and endure criticism for the sake of the greater good. This episode delivers historical context, geopolitical insight, and a deeper understanding of how past decisions continue to shape today's world. It's an important listen for anyone seeking clarity on where we are — and where things may be headed next.

Most podcasters don't quit because they fail; they quit because they stop recognizing their progress. Today, we take a closer look at what real wins actually look like when you're in the work week after week. While our lead host, Marc, is at PodFest, Ralph Estep takes the wheel and guides us through a poignant discussion on recognizing wins beyond the numbers and not taking your accomplishments for granted. We share heartfelt examples of progress that are easy to overlook: showing up on a hard day, helping one listener, or simply staying consistent when motivation dips.

If you've been optimising for months but the day-to-day still feels heavy, this episode will help you spot when you need business redesign — not more effort. Anna unpacks optimisation vs redesign and shares how to step back and rethink the architecture of your business, with an invitation to her Solopreneur OS workshop on Tuesday 13 January 2026. Optimisation is useful — but only when the underlying business architecture still fits. Repeating the same problems (positioning, offers, capacity) is often a redesign signal, not a discipline problem. Redesign starts with deeper questions about identity, boundaries, capacity and the life you want now. You don't need to burn everything down — you need a thoughtful recalibration of the structure you're working within. Register for the Solopreneur OS workshop at intentionalexpert.com.

Many believers live with repeating struggles because they do not recognize the unseen spiritual patterns shaping their lives. I explain how blessings and curses operate through words, authority, and relationships, and why unresolved soul ties and spoken agreements can quietly keep cycles going longer than they should. When you learn how to identify and break these patterns, you can step back into alignment with God's purpose and experience the freedom Jesus came to give     Podcast Episode 1996: Why Certain Struggles Keep Repeating And How To Stop Them | don't miss this!

Today's conversation invites us to look at karma in a very different way.My guest is Yael Eini, spiritual teacher and author of Karma Healing: Unblock Your Life on the Soul Level.In this episode, we explore what karma really is, how it shows up in our relationships, patterns, and life experiences, and how we can consciously work with it rather than feel trapped by it. Yael brings a grounded, heart-centered perspective that reframes karma as an opportunity for growth, release, and choice — not something to fear.If you've ever wondered why certain themes repeat in your life, or how to move beyond old cycles with more grace and awareness, this conversation will resonate deeply.IN THIS EPSIODE: Karma is not punishment - How karma as a way of learning, not something that rewards or punishes, but something that helps the soul evolve.Life blocks often originate on the soul level - Repeating patterns — in relationships, health, money, or purpose — may stem from unresolved karmic imprints rather than conscious choices alone.You are not here to “pay off” karma, but to heal it.Soul Fragments and how this affects us. Curses and vows from previous incarnations/lifetimes.ABOUT YAEL:Yael Eini is the developer of the Karmic Constellation method and an acclaimed teacher with more than two decades of experience. A certified family constellation teacher with a master's degree in family counseling and extensive training in energy healing, trauma work, and Somatic Experiencing, Yael lives in Israel. She works with karma and past lives, teaching clients how to "drop" karma. Dropping karma means being the creator of your own existence rather than letting the recent, distant, intergenerational, or soul-based past run your life. Sometimes it happens magically; most of the time it takes work. Karma does not change on its own.LINKS: https://www.yaeleini.comhttps://www.instagram.com/yael_eini_karma_healing/Thank you so much for listening, and thanks to my sponsors.This Episode is brought to you by: • The Sattva Collection - 10% off with code TheConsciousDiva• Birds & Beans Organic Coffee - 10% off with DIVA2025The Conscious Diva Podcast wouldn't be possible without your support!

The Delicate Art Of Transformation is out 01/11/2026 - it will be available here! Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, you keep ending up in the same place? The same money patterns. The same cycles of burnout or overwhelm. The same self-sabotage, hesitation, or stopping just before things really shift. The same relationship dynamics — just with different faces. In this episode, we explore looping unwanted patterns — why they happen, what they're actually trying to show you, and how to move through them without shame or force. You'll learn why loops aren't a sign that you're stuck or broken — but a signal that a phase of transformation is asking to be met more consciously. Inside this conversation, I walk you through: Why every loop contains information, not failure How looping shows up differently in each phase of transformation The deeper reasons behind self-sabotage, overwhelm, shutdown, and lack of follow-through What it really means to integrate a lesson instead of repeating it How to move forward without pushing, bypassing, or abandoning yourself This episode builds directly on the transformation framework shared in my book, The Delicate Are Of Transformation, and will help you recognize where you are in your own process — and what's needed to move forward with clarity and self-trust. If you've ever asked yourself “Why does this keep happening?” — this episode is for you.
