Another quarterly conversation on books with Christianity Today's Editorial Director, Ashley Hales, on the subject of resisting the digital era. Watch the full conversation on YouTube What's the role of reading in a screen-saturated, distracted, AI world? Russell is joined once again by Ashley Hales, print editor at Christianity Today, to explore how literature can help us resist the attention-fractured nature of our technological era by offering unique ways to process real life itself, giving us tools to see grace where we least expect it. Russell reflects on Wendell Berry's latest (and perhaps final) Port William novel, Marce Catlett, and what it means to say goodbye to a lifelong literary companion. Ashley shares insights on Jan Karon's return to Mitford, and the two discuss how stories shape our capacity for empathy, memory, and hope. They also highlight nonfiction works like Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation (check out our recent episode with Jon) and David Zahl's The Big Relief, considering how books can guide us through exhaustion, anxiety, and the pressures of modern life. Then, the two share the stack of books they're reading just for fun, and upcoming releases they're looking forward to.You can find all the titles mentioned in the episode below.

Across India and around the world, communities are resisting destruction and reclaiming their right to shape their own futures. Shrishtee Bajpai, researcher and activist with the Global Tapestry of Alternatives, reveals how local struggles for self-determination connect across cultures and what is being done to weave a 'pluriverse' of possibilities rooted in social and ecological justice. Highlights include: How Shrishtee's upbringing as an upper caste, urban Indian girl living along the river Ganga shaped her search for personal freedom and ecological and social justice; How her work with Indian village communities resisting ecological and social destruction helped her connect academic critiques of feminism and development to lived realities; How she challenges oppressive systems while also interrogating her own privilege and colonial inheritance; Why creating a 'pluriverse' of diverse, locally-rooted alternatives is essential to move beyond the dominant development model and progress narrative; Why the Global Tapestry of Alternatives supports 'radiating out' values and lessons rather than 'scaling up', which risks destroying the important nuance of local context; Why strengthening communities' imagination, confidence, and self-determination is central to her work; Why the Rights of Nature movement must de-emphasize the perspectives of NGOs and governments and center the voice of local communities with long-standing connections to their environments; How profound experiences with the more-than-human world and with story-based community ritual sustain her work. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/shrishtee-bajpai   OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION: Every day I have a conversation with people on the street, with friends, and several conversations with my guests every week about how do we fight back against the madness that we see in the world today, the tyranny and the authoritarianism, which have been decades if not centuries in the making, this plan for a global one world government, which involves increasing technocracy, the digital grid system, the restrictions on our freedoms, and the rampant corruption and evil that is our government.How do we resist this and fight back?Well, folks, I've put my thinking cap on and I've come up with around 160 tangible steps in which we can resist this tyranny.

Have you ever wondered why certain "proven" business strategies feel like nails on a chalkboard to you? What if your resistance to social media content creation, teaching curricula, or networking isn't a mindset block you need to overcome, but actually cosmic intelligence guiding you toward your zone of genius?In this deeply personal episode, I share how studying my astrological chart revealed why I'd been swimming upstream in my business for years. From discovering my empty 3rd house (explaining my resistance to short-form social media content) to understanding my empty 9th house (revealing why curriculum creation felt so depleting), I break down how specific planetary placements directly correlate to business preferences and natural talents.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:How empty houses in your astrological chart might explain your resistance to popular business strategies, including specific examples of how an empty 3rd house shows up as difficulty with short-form content and small talk, while an empty 9th house manifests as resistance to traditional teaching formats.The way your Mercury placement reveals your natural communication style and why forcing yourself to communicate in ways that don't align with your planetary blueprint can drain your energy and repel your ideal clients rather than attract them.Real case studies of how different astrological placements show up in business, from Mercury in the 5th house creating resistance to "5-step" frameworks in favor of creative expression, to Cancer placements thriving with vulnerable, emotional content over guru-style authority positioning.Why your specific placements will reveal the type of synastry required to attract the most aligned clients. How to use astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys as business strategy tools to build a model that honors your natural wiring, including practical examples of how to pivot from misaligned strategies toward approaches that feel energizing rather than depleting.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

In our most recent probate coaching call, we focused on cold calling and broke down how to handle the most common roadblocks like “We're already done with probate” or “Just give me an offer.”You'll learn how to:00:51 – Objection: “We're almost done with probate, I don't need anything.”

Have you ever wondered why you sabotage yourself right before a breakthrough? What if the very things you think are protecting you are actually keeping you stuck? In this transformative episode, we dive deep into the sneaky world of resistance and how it silently sabotages your growth and happiness. You don’t need to fight your way to freedom—you just need to understand what’s really happening beneath the surface and learn to dance with it instead of against it. This episode reveals three life-changing insights that will help you transform your greatest obstacle into your most powerful teacher. Resistance Is a Master of Disguise: Resistance never shows up as itself—it’s like a master of disguise at a costume party. It might dress up as the perfectionist (“I can’t start until I have the perfect plan”), the busy bee (“I’m too productive to slow down”), or the helper (“Everyone needs me, I can’t receive”). Catherine shares the story of a brilliant client who insisted she didn’t resist anything, yet discovered her constant urgency to fix and solve was actually resistance to sitting with uncomfortable feelings. The truth? Resistance isn’t just about what you avoid—it’s about what you refuse to allow in. Every Push Costs You Energy: Here’s the perspective shift that changes everything: every time you push away what wants to be felt, you’re not protecting yourself—you’re blocking the very energy that could set us free. When you resist love, you feel lonely in crowds. When you resist help, you exhaust yourself carrying the world alone. When you resist success, you sabotage yourself right before a breakthrough. Catherine worked with a woman who resisted receiving support because she believed it made her weak—the result was complete burnout and heartbreaking disconnection from those who loved her most. Remember: resistance isn’t protection, it’s self-sabotage wearing safety’s clothing. The Only Way Out Is Through: The most beautiful paradox in human psychology? The only way out of resistance is through it. Instead of asking “How do I get rid of this feeling?” ask “What is this resistance trying to teach me?” Catherine shares five research-backed strategies: the five-second rule to bypass mental barriers, the naming game that reduces emotional resistance by 50%, shrinking tasks so your brain can’t resist, flipping “I should” to “I choose,” and moving from self-focus to service. The practice isn’t about forcing change—it’s about creating space, because resistance loses its grip the moment you stop fighting and start allowing. This isn’t just an episode—it’s an invitation to stop fighting yourself and start understanding the wisdom your resistance holds. If you’re ready to transform your greatest obstacle into your greatest teacher, this one’s for you. You can watch the video of this episode on YouTube.

"Brian Wright is the Tony Robbins of the new economy." Stephanie Solomon - Author Today's Episode Walk into an orthodontic practice that looks like any other—friendly faces, steady appointments, yet stuck in the old ways. This episode follows a leader who refused to accept “we've always done it that way” as an answer. After a powerful onsite training, ideas meant to reshape the patient experience were quietly ignored—until one doctor chose to act. Instead of shrugging and hoping for change, she carved out one hour each week: a hard-edged, purpose-built Operational Success Meeting. She gathered her team, set a clear expectation, and promised support while demanding immediate implementation. She role-played, stumbled through scripts, held people accountable, and pulled the team through the discomfort of change. What followed was not overnight perfection but steady, visible progress: new greeting rituals, high-value welcome tours, practiced phone calls, and confident treatment conversations that started to move the needle. This episode reads like a leadership masterclass disguised as a single case study. It shows how the real work of transformation is less about clever ideas and more about disciplined practice, ruthless clarity, and courageous accountability. The doctor's decision to lead from the front—practice first, refine later—turned theoretical strategies into daily habits that staff adopted and patients felt. Whether you run a clinic, a restaurant, or a startup, this story is a blueprint: set the vision, time-block practice, role-play relentlessly, implement fast, and then perfect with consistency. Hear how small, deliberate leadership choices created momentum, stopped pushback cold, and began building a truly famous brand—one interaction at a time.

After the deaths of Jasper and Lightfoot the survivors Zove and Rover meet some members of the Resistance an quickly begin working together to track the werewolves. Zove seems to have been affected by something, while Daniel longs for fight after fight in a single minded determination to destroy the Alpha werewolf it seems. Perhaps there is a greater reason for why only time will tell

Send us a textOne of the biggest mistakes leaders make with new initiatives is selling the benefits without naming what it might cost teachers. Grounded in Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory, this episode explores why the fear of loss often outweighs the promise of gain. Whether it's autonomy, time, competence, or belonging, the risks teachers anticipate can feel heavier than the advantages leaders emphasize.Through research and real-life examples, you'll learn how to shift pushback into progress by addressing those hidden losses head-on. The takeaway is simple: don't just highlight the gains, acknowledge and reduce the losses teachers fear. Resistance isn't about “fear of change.” It's about fear of loss. And until you name the loss, the gain won't matter.

The Cru returns for Season 5 of Radio FreeWrite! In this episode, we set fresh writing goals, reflect on unions and collective action, and laugh about Monty Python as we take on the Scots phrase ca' canny: a call to ease up, work slow, and resist.Stories this week begin at the 16:30 mark and explore resistance in many forms: a poetic plea for freedom from work and a greening earth, a Joycean sketch of paralysis on the farm, a futuristic Uber ride tinged with climate anxiety, a fantasy where unchecked power threatens destruction, and a Labor Day reflection on the risks and strength of workers.Prompt: Ca' canny — Scots expression meaning go easy, don't exert yourself, go slow; also in trade union parlance: work to rule or restrict output so as to exert pressure on employers.Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?

It's amazing for posture, mobility, and core strength. But if you're trying to build muscle, boost your metabolism, or reshape your body? Resistance training is what truly moves the needle. In this episode, I'm breaking down the real differences between Pilates and lifting, so you can stop second-guessing your workouts and start seeing results. We're getting into: What Pilates does (and doesn't do) for your metabolism and strength Why resistance training creates longer-lasting changes in your body The truth about “bulking,” “toning,” and the biggest myths about lifting How to combine Pilates and strength training for a balanced routine Where to start if lifting feels confusing, overwhelming, or out of reach If you've been trying to make progress with Pilates alone and feel like something's missing, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a roadmap for what to do next.

On September 11, 1973, tanks rumbled over the streets of Santiago, Chile. Planes bombed La Moneda, the presidential palace, as US-backed General Augusto Pinochet overthrew the democratically elected President Salvador Allende. It was a dark, dark moment in Chile's history. Pinochet would unleash a bloody regime that would grip power until 1990. During his rule, thousands were rounded up, detained, tortured, and executed.But there was resistance.In this special bonus episode of Stories of Resistance, we showcase four different vignettes of people standing up to the evil in which Pinochet enveloped the country in the early 1970s, and the fight for truth, justice, and memory that continues to this day. These stories have been published at different times in this podcast series over the last year.

184. Level Up Your Leadership (with Deborah Naish) – Part One In this episode of the Visibility Factor podcast, host Susan M Barber interviews Deborah Naish, an author and former corporate leader, about her book 'Level Up Your Leadership.' They discuss the importance of inner work for leaders, the essence of leadership beyond skill sets, and the need for self-discovery. Deborah shares her leadership model, which emphasizes continuous practice and reflection, and introduces concepts to help leaders navigate challenges and foster growth. In this conversation, they explore various themes related to personal and professional growth, emphasizing the importance of a growth mindset, emotional intelligence, and effective communication. The dialogue also highlights the challenges of reactivity and the need for self-awareness in navigating interpersonal dynamics, ultimately encouraging listeners to embrace continuous learning and reflection. takeaways Leadership is about who we are being, not just what we do. Successful leaders must trust themselves and embrace discomfort. Practicing leadership skills is essential for building confidence. Reflection is crucial in the busy world of leadership. Resistance is a signal for growth, not a stop sign. Learning involves a cycle of practice and facing obstacles. A growth mindset recognizes that learning is a journey without a finish line. Judgments and reactions can trap us in negative cycles. Curiosity can transform our responses to challenges.

We need to have an understanding of the difference between God's protection and becoming a martyr. Is it true that God protects at times, but at other times allows believers to be martyred? It is not that simple. As a believer, situations will arise that will try to take your life prematurely, but God always promises a way of escape. Being a martyr is a choice between you and heaven, but many do not know we have a choice. Jesus said, "No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily." God's promise of protection and deliverance stands. He does not want our life and purpose on this earth stolen. But when the time comes, and our purpose on earth has been completed, we have the choice to lay it down willingly. (Our apologies for the quality. This is an older recording from before we were releasing teaching online.)

Send us a text✨ I'm thrilled about this week's podcast episode because it's packed with practical strategies to help you achieve true health freedom!My inspiring guest, Coach Rhonda Williams, is a living testament to what it means to begin a healing journey. In her debut inspirational book, Accidentally Vegan, she shares her own transformation—and she brings that same passion and wisdom to our conversation. I'm so honored to have her on the show.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Patty Durell, founder of Rock Solid Fitness, and Daniel Hartshorn, co-founder of Flowgreens and ScentXpresso, to explore how technology, aromatherapy, and strength training are reshaping wellness in a high-stress, tech-driven world. From smart showers that transform daily routines into mindful rituals, to efficient resistance training that rebuilds energy and confidence for women in midlife, this conversation challenges outdated health myths and reframes what vitality truly looks like. Whether you're feeling stuck in burnout, curious about tech-powered healing, or seeking strength without overtraining, this episode offers practical, science-backed insights you can apply today. About the Guests   Patty Durell is a strength training expert and the creator of High Intensity SAFE™ Strength Training, a proven method that helps high-performing women regain strength, energy, and confidence with just two 25-minute sessions a week. She is also the founder of Rock Solid Fitness. Daniel Hartshorn is an entrepreneur and co-founder of ScentXpresso, a wellness technology company creating spa-like aromatherapy shower experiences to combat stress and burnout. With a background in scaling tech startups, Daniel now focuses on human-centered innovation for health and well-being. Key Takeaways   Strength training is not about doing more but about doing enough—properly applied resistance builds both physical and mental resilience. Many midlife women avoid lifting weights due to myths about injury or “bulking up,” but real results come from heavy resistance done safely. Smart aromatherapy rituals, such as Daniel's ScentXpresso, turn overlooked moments like a shower into powerful anchors for relaxation and mental reset. Scent is a primal sensory trigger tied to memory and emotion—using it intentionally can reduce stress and promote emotional stability. Rituals and boundaries—like nature walks, hugs, family breakfasts, or mindful exercise—help root us in balance amidst digital overload. Resistance training improves sleep, mood, hormonal balance, and self-worth, especially for women navigating menopause and midlife challenges. Both guests stress the importance of cultural reset: midlife is not “old age,” but an opportunity to strengthen body, mind, and daily habits. Wellness technology's future lies in combining hard data (like heart rate and blood pressure) with personal experiences of well-being for truly personalized care.   Connect with the Guests   Patty Durell: rocksolidfitnessfl.com | YouTube: Rock Solid Fitness FL Daniel Hartshorn: Instagram @scentxpresso | Kickstarter: Search “ScentXpresso” Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM - Send me a message on PodMatch DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST:   Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES   Business Podcast Management - Learn More Individual Podcast Management - Learn More Share Your Story With World - Learn More STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!   • Medium - https://medium.com/@contentbyavik• YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavik• Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/• Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind• Linkedin Page - https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavik• LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/• Twitter - https://twitter.com/podhealthclub• Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW   Share your Google Review - Leave a Review Share a video Testimonial - Submit Here   #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessMatters #VoicesOfUnity #InspirationDaily #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #podcastlove #podcastshow #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastaddict #podcasthost #pdcastepisode #podcastinglife #podrecommendation #wellnesspodcast #healthpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #wellbeing #selfcare #mentalhealth #mindfulness #healthandwellness #wellnessjourney #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #healthandwellnesspodcast #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #trending #tiktok #tiktokviral #explore #trendingvideo #youtube #motivation #inspiration #positivity #mindset #selflove #success

The presence and impact of environmental racism is real and has been a long-standing issue in our society. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the fourth episode of the docuseries “Eyes on the Prize III: We Who Believe in Freedom Cannot Rest” titled “Spoil the Vine (1982-2011)” (directed by Rudy Valdez), which chronicles the organizing, growth, and fight for environmental justice in the United States in the aftermath of chemical leaks and toxic exposures in predominately Black communities in states across the country, and what we learn and take away from this incredible episode in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.Follow us on social media and visit our website!⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a voice message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch store⁠⁠⁠⁠

If you had to put a number on your happiness, energy, and overall well-being—what score would you give your life right now? In this episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher dig into the science of quality of life—how researchers actually measure it, and why it's about so much more than health stats or fitness levels. They reveal why building physical strength often leads to emotional freedom and how strength training improves mental health, social connection, and vitality. Tune in to learn how training your body can completely reshape the way you feel about your life. Amy shares her definition of quality of life. She looks beyond just physical health and considers energy, mood, and daily worries. The big question is: Am I happy—and could I be happier? Dr. Fisher explains how quality of life is measured. He breaks it down with short-form surveys like the SF-12 and SF-36 that ask people to rate their health on a simple scale from excellent to poor. The point is not the specific symptom—but your overall sense of well-being. Understand the broader meaning of quality of life. Dr. Fisher reveals it's not only about physical health or ability to work—it's also about mood, social connection, and everyday experiences.  Dr. Fisher shares: “How often during the past month have you felt so down in the dumps that nothing could cheer you up?” It's a reminder that emotional health is central to quality of life. Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss how resistance training impacts your quality of life.  A 2019 systematic review of 16 studies showed that strength training consistently improved health-related quality of life in older adults. The benefits weren't just physical metrics like cholesterol—they were about how people felt. Learn how resistance training changes perception. Participants filled out quality-of-life surveys before and after strength training interventions, and the results showed mental health, energy, and outlook improving. Dr. Fisher reveals how training affects mental and social well-being. Resistance training boosted emotional control, mental health, social function, and vitality scores.  According to Amy, people who engage in strength training don't just get stronger—they become more energized, more social, and more alive. Understand the concept of emotional role function.  Amy and Dr. Fisher unpack how it reflects control over emotions and the ability to bounce back when life feels tough. Strength training plays a role in building this resilience. Dr. Fisher shares his personal perspective. When he strength trains, it's a way to release stress, burn off anger, and reset emotionally. It's not just exercise—it's therapy for the mind. Amy explains how we experience the world depends on both our emotional and physical states. Strength training is a tool that improves both—leading to a richer, more positive quality of life. Amy and Dr. Fisher agree that resistance training can help us regulate emotions and reclaim a sense of freedom.  While we can't control everything that happens to us, we can control how we respond.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Resistance bands can transform your calisthenics training—and in this video, I'll show you exactly how. From push-ups and dips to squats, lunges, and pull-ups, bands offer unique advantages over traditional weight vests or plates. They're cheaper, easier to travel with, faster to adjust, and incredibly versatile for both adding resistance and providing assistance on tough exercises.We'll break down: • Why bands are more economical and portable than weight vests • How to load resistance on push-ups, dips, and squats with simple band setups • Creative ways to use bands for unilateral leg training and core work • Assisted calisthenics variations (pull-ups, pistol squats, push-ups) • How to program band training for strength, hypertrophy, and enduranceWhether you're training at home, traveling, or just want more options in your workouts, bands give you the flexibility to build strength and muscle anywhere.
