Flexibility makes sustainable habits possible(26:07) Baselines are the smallest version of a habit, building momentum for sustainable progress(32:39) Baselines reduce reliance on motivation, enabling habits to persist even on busy or low-energy days(35:51) Small, courageous steps in habits lead to exponential growth beyond perfectionismKEY TAKEAWAYS:Perfectionism is a spectrum rooted in fear, driving an all-or-nothing approach. Flexible habits support sustainable growth by prioritizing progress over rigid perfection.Baselines are small, achievable versions of habits that build momentum and consistency, allowing you to show up as yourself even on low-energy days.Consistency in habits means doing your best most of the time, rather than striving for rigid perfection. Flexibility enables sustainable habit formation, allowing us to adapt to life's seasons and challenges.QUOTES: (00:00) "I've learned that perfectionism really is a spectrum. The root of it is the same though regardless of where you're on the spectrum. It's an all or nothing pendulum swing, and the root is fear." - Monica Packer(10:36) "If only this were different. If only that were different. And the truth is maybe a hard pill to swallow, it's us, not all of these other things." - Jenn Trepeck(20:17) "Flexibility is what makes consistency possible." - Monica Packer(21:45) "Consistency and intensity are inversely related." - Jenn Trepeck(30:38) "The ‘how' might be two minutes here, two minutes there.

All-or-nothing thinking, or being rigid, is generally defined by pairs of opposites. So, maybe you're thinking of someone or something as simply good or bad, working or not working. But it can also show up as thinking there are only two choices available in a situation. And this comes up in so many areas of our lives.While cognitive rigidity is a characteristic of Autism, it is also alive and well in all of us to some degree.

By Adam Turteltaub Professors Guido Palazzo and Ulrich Hoffrage are skeptical. When they hear that there was a bad apple at the core of a scandal, they are hesitant to accept that explanation. Instead, they argue in this podcast and in their new book, The Dark Pattern: The Hidden Dynamics of Corporate Scandals, that the problem is typically much deeper and wider. There are dark patterns, as they call them, that lead to bad behavior. Underlying the patterns are nine building blocks.  They explain: Rigid ideology is a shared belief system that narrows the view of decision-makers at the expense of other views, risking them losing sight of ethical dimensions. Toxic leadership can create fearful contexts when narcissistic, Machiavellian, or psychopathic leaders abuse their power and cause harm, be it through direct orders, leading by example, or a carrot- and- stick approach. Manipulative language restricts how things are perceived and evaluated, influencing people's judgments, decisions, and behaviors in ways that contribute to evil. Corrupting goals and unrealistic targets divert people's attention so that they lose the ability to see the bigger picture in which their decisions are embedded— and the ethical dimension of their behavior. Destructive incentives create a tunnel vision of reality and lead to unhealthy competition and fights. Ambiguous rules create a gray area where people at best are confused and at worst can morally disengage when they do something bad because, after all, they were just following the rules. Perceived unfairness can lead people to engage in illegal practices while feeling that they are restoring justice. Dangerous groups may force individuals to conform, encourage aggression against members of out- groups, or pressure those who are considering speaking up not to do so. Finally, people who are on a slippery slope may not realize how they are straying from the right path to the point of escalating their commitment to evil things without even realizing how they have changed. While there are ways to manage for these risk areas, the challenge is that they are too often missed. The solution they advocate for includes compliance teams educating themselves more in areas such as social psychology so that they are more attuned to the human factors. Within the office there is a need for companies to resist the need to move on from scandals and to instead engage in deeper soul searching to understand what went wrong and why. Finally, they are advocates for making ethics a much more important part of compliance programs. Listen in to better understand what dark patterns are and how to keep them from taking hold of your organization.

Welcome to Real Food Recovery, a podcast created by two lifelong processed food addicts with over 100 years of addiction (and recovery) between them. Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno use their Real Food Recovery podcast and social media channels to share their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction, obsession, and loss. Today we're talking about an interesting topic, so look forward to a lively discussion on when it comes to recovery: if we need a rigid structure or is something looser more successful? To be Rigid or not to be Rigid, that is the question! Or in other words, is structure and rules the only way to success?  As we get into the meat of this conversation, we will talk about our different beliefs on what we think works.  You might be surprised to hear we all have a little different take on where we are, which is good news because we can reach a larger audience who struggles.  We are not all cookie-cutter humans (pun intended), and so by the end, we will have spoken to everyone out there listening! In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery. Be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page. You can also follow Real Food Recovery on Instagram (@realfoodrecovery4u), TikTok (@realfoodrecovery) or at www.realfoodrecovery4u.com.

Are you tired of chasing solutions that never work? Feeling stuck—physically, emotionally, or spiritually—even though you're doing “everything right”? What if the real issue isn't you, but how we've been taught to approach healing and personal growth?In this episode, we're joined by the legendary Paul Chek—a world-renowned expert in corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology, stress management, holistic wellness, and integrative lifestyle coaching. For over 40 years, Paul has helped thousands of clients, students, and elite athletes transform their lives by treating the body as an integrated system and uncovering the root causes of pain and dysfunction—where traditional methods often fail.Paul is the founder of the CHEK Institute, creator of Spirit Gym, and host of the Spirit Gym with Paul Chek podcast. He's authored numerous books, developed professional courses, and worked with everyone from world-class athletes to individuals facing chronic, “unsolvable” conditions.If you're ready to move beyond symptom management and discover what true healing really takes, this conversation is your next step.Quotes:• "If you love to sing, sing some truth. If you love to dance, dance some truth. If you love to paint, paint some truth. If you love to write, write some truth." - Paul Chek• "No man can understand Scripture until he's enlightened, and when he's enlightened, he does not need scripture." - Paul Chek• "A labor of love is sustainable. Anything else is just labor and it's not sustainable." - Paul ChekKey Takeaways:• Use Your Heart to Feel What You Know: Paul teaches that true wisdom doesn't come from logic alone. Practice checking in with your heart before making important decisions. Ask: Does this feel life-giving or life-draining?• Explore the Four Types of Clients (or Mindsets): Reflect on which category you might fall into—are you open and healing, stuck in ego, identified with your problem, or simply not ready to change? What needs to shift?• Challenge Rigid Ideologies—Lovingly: Paul explains that healing and growth often require moving beyond inherited beliefs. Choose one belief (religious, cultural, or personal) and ask: Is this helping me love more fully—or keeping me small?Conclusion:This conversation with Paul Chek is more than just a podcast episode—it's a wake-up call to reconnect with what truly matters. Paul reminds us that real healing, growth, and leadership don't come from following rigid systems, but from tuning into our own inner wisdom, asking better questions, and being courageous enough to live the answers.Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, seeking spiritual clarity, raising conscious children, or simply tired of conventional approaches that keep falling short—Paul offers a powerful alternative: a life rooted in truth, awareness, and self-responsibility.Special Offer for ListenersUnlock deeper healing and transformation with Paul Chek's Spirit Gym:

The tragedy of fixed ideas, beliefs and ideologies is that they leave no room for growth, no space for listening, and no pathway to a deeper consciousness. We hear so much about addictions to alcohol or drugs—andrightfully so. But there's another form of dependency that's just as dangerous: the obsessive attachment to certain beliefs, especially during times of crisis or rapid social change. In these moments, people crave certainty. They cling toideology as a life raft. But that raft often drifts into dangerouswaters—fanaticism, conspiracy thinking, scapegoating, and eventually violence. Just think back to the COVID-19 pandemic. We didn't justbattle a virus—we battled each other. Misinformation, fake news, political division… it all escalated into a breakdown of civil conversation. People weren't just disagreeing; they were demonizing anyone who didn't share their view. #reinogevers #spirituality #livingtob #spiritualjourney #beliefs #ideologyHighlights of this episode:- The antidote to fixed belief and rigidity- What happens to a society when it gets swamped with fear and fixed ideology?Website:⁠www.reinogevers.com⁠⁠Books:⁠⁠Sages, Saints and Sinners⁠⁠Deep Walking for Body Mind and Soul⁠⁠Walking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago⁠

The publishing model most indie devs face is outdated and often stacked against them. Rigid contracts, hidden expectations, and a lack of real partnership force devs to choose between full independence or giving up too much. But thankfully, a new approach is emerging. In this episode, we explore what a modern publishing model looks like, one that's flexible, transparent, and built around developers' long-term success. We unpack the rise of shadow publishing, the value of regional talent, and what meaningful support really looks like in today's industry. Episode Shownotes Link:   

The Zan and Jordan ShowEpisode 20 — Semen Retention: Benefits, Usefulness, and Can You Go Too Far?____________________________________________________Have you ever gone a few days without ejaculating, and noticed that you felt stronger, more confident, or that people seemed more attracted to you? Could consciously not cumming grant you access to some otherwise-impossible-to-experience level of ‘divine power'? For millennia, and across cultures, men have believed exactly this. Jordan has experimented with semen retention, and shares his experiences–the helpful and the unhelpful–in today's episode. Today's conversation will leave you considering the kind of healing that only sex–and release–with a woman can give you. It requires letting go on your part. Rigid practices and dogmatic obedience are simply incompatible.  Have you experienced the beauty of coming together with a woman, as Zan describes it? To what degree do you believe you should, or should not, ‘retain your essence'?

It is a layer that exists (or not) below all religion and all social structures. And it belongs to all of you.Philosophers throughout the ages have argued whether beauty is objective or subjective, but in my view, beauty is neither. It is neither inherent as a property of the object (the objective view) nor is it in the eye of the beholder (the subjective view). Beauty is a third thing altogether.Beauty is prime. It stands alone. It is a thing apart, in Kant's words: a Thing-In-Itself (Ding an sich). Beauty emanates from what Aristotle called the Unmoved Mover, what Plotinus called The One, what scientists call the Big Bang, and what John in the New Testament called the Word or Logos.Support the show

Wellness + Wisdom: Liberated Life Series | Episode 741 Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host, Josh Trent, and the Liberated Life Series Co-Host, Mar, reveal the secrets to accountability and boundary enforcement without shame or anger, drawing on nonviolent communication and the “rule of three”, and how emotional regulation and clear communication can guide you to practice boundaries in a way that fosters deeper connection and self-trust, no matter how challenging your relationships might be.

Join the Tribe Listen To Episode 741 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Introduction to Accountability + Boundaries The essence of accountability. Boundaries are essential for self-love and healthy relationships. How much responsibility do we have to hold others accountable? Fear often prevents people from enforcing boundaries; fear is reframed as 'false evidence appearing real.' [03:45] Setting + Practicing Boundaries Boundaries are first set, then practiced; self-regulation and self-accountability are key. Letting go of the fear of 'burning bridges' is crucial when enforcing boundaries. Boundaries should be communicated clearly, especially in family and intimate relationships, where they are often hardest to enforce. Practicing boundaries with strangers or in low-stakes situations helps build skill and courage. [07:20] Learning from Broken Boundaries + Pain Pain from broken boundaries teaches self-love and integration. Rigid boundaries may block love and growth; flexibility and self-trust are needed. Repeated lessons occur until boundaries are internalized and enforced naturally without fear or anger. [09:45] Nonviolent Communication + Boundary Enforcement Boundaries can be enforced without shame or anger, using curiosity and dialogue. Public and private boundary enforcement share the same principles: identify the breach, ask questions, and seek shared outcomes. Role-play example demonstrates the 'rule of three' for boundary communication: verbalize the breach, bring curiosity, and co-create a result. Adding emotional context (how it makes you feel) enhances understanding and connection. [19:35] Emotional Regulation + Honesty Breath and presence are essential for emotional regulation during boundary conversations. Triggers are opportunities for growth; honesty about feelings creates clarity and speed in resolving issues. Slowing down communication and being honest about triggers or fears leads to better outcomes. Honesty is the foundation for clarity, which in turn enables faster resolution and connection. [24:40] Attachment Styles + the Path to Peace Speed in resolving conflict is a universal human desire, but true speed comes from honesty and clarity, not rushing. Attachment styles (anxious and avoidant) influence how people approach boundaries and connection. Sitting in honesty and clarity helps both attachment styles achieve harmony and connection quickly. Awareness is the starting point for all personal growth and boundary work; the series aims to nourish all aspects of self (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial).

Why is it relatively prevalent and yet also relatively unheard-of? What can people with OCPD do well? What does OCPD feel like from the inside? Which fictional characters might have OCPD? How do people with OCPD typically engage with religion? How can you have better relationships with people in your life who have OCPD? What should you do if you think you or someone you know might have OCPD? What are some treatments for it that actually work?After struggling with the traits and symptoms of OCPD since childhood, Darryl Rossignol spent a decade deconstructing his own personality disorder and putting the pieces back together. In 2015, he launched a YouTube channel to document his journey. Within a few years, the project had reached tens of thousands of people in need. By 2022, the need for more was clear. With the assistance of some of the top OCPD mental health professionals, he was able to launch The OCPD Foundation. This foundation is now dedicated to assisting those with OCPD to successfully find the help that they need.

Fluorescent lights. Constant noise. Rigid schedules. For a lot of kids with special needs, school was less a place to learn and more a daily test of endurance. In this episode, Jenny Kendall—a national leader in special education—joins Kevin to talk about what happens when you take students out of a system that was never designed for them and build something better. Virtual learning isn't a compromise. For many, it's a relief. They get into how online education strips away environmental distractions, how real success hinges on teamwork between families and educators, and why AI and assistive tech might be the biggest breakthroughs in special education—if outdated policy doesn't slow it all down. How do you build an education system that actually fits the student—not the other way around? And what happens when technology moves faster than the rules meant to govern it? This might be what you want to know.   What You'll Learn 03:12 – Why the Classroom Was the Barrier 06:05 – Success = Commitment + Customization 08:30 – Online vs. In-Person: Who Does It Better? 11:35 – How a Virtual School Day Actually Looks 14:10 – Fixing the Special Ed Teacher Shortage (Hint: Go Remote) 16:20 – Autism, Anxiety & The Safety of Learning at Home 19:00 – AI Knows Your Kid Is Struggling Before You Do 21:15 – Outdated Laws vs. Next-Gen Learning Go Deeper with Jenny Kendall

Healing Sexual Sin & Shame through the Cross (and Curiosity): Interview with Jay Stringer There is something so incredible about a story of redemption. And, dear reader, I believe this conversation will be a turning point for you, as it has been for so many in our community. I've walked alongside men and women wrestling with the deep pain of sexual brokenness- the battles they face in their marriage beds, their thought lives, their past, and the weight of shame. I've seen firsthand the power of God to restore what seemed utterly lost. And this conversation with Jay Stringer is an invitation to that very healing journey. Jay is a therapist, minister, researcher, and author of Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing. His compassionate, curious approach offers a fresh lens: that the very behaviors we hate are not random. They are clues. And they point us to healing. On this Good Friday, as we reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus, there is no better time to consider what it truly means to lay our shame at the foot of the cross. Let's dive in. The Cross and Your Story of Healing We all carry wounds. Some we're acutely aware of, and others we've buried so deeply that they show up in our actions long before we recognize them in our hearts. Jay opened our conversation by pointing us to the profound truth of the cross. Jesus knew exactly what you would do. Every mistake. Every moment of shame. And yet, He chose to take it all upon Himself. He bore your sin and your shame. This is not a journey of trying harder to be good enough. It's about understanding how deeply Jesus loves you, even in your lowest moments, and choosing to respond to His love with a courageous step toward healing. Unwanted Behaviors: They Are Not Random One of the most freeing truths Jay shared is this: our unwanted behaviors are not random. Through his extensive clinical work and groundbreaking research, Jay discovered that the specific ways we struggle are deeply connected to our stories of origin. Jay explained that in his role as the sex addiction therapist for the city of Seattle, he began to see patterns. Men arrested for soliciting sex were not making random choices. Their actions were connected to predictable stories of pain and trauma. Whether you grew up in a home of neglect, where your heart longed for connection and was left empty, or in a home of rigid control, where you felt powerless and unseen, these early experiences shape the way you cope and the behaviors you pursue as an adult. Your brain, your body, your desires are all responding to unhealed wounds. Understanding the Root: Family Systems and the Power of Priming Jay described two primary family systems that often set the stage for future struggles: The Disengaged Family System: Parents were physically or emotionally absent. Your longing for connection was never fulfilled. When you first experienced the neurochemical bond of pornography or sex, it felt like the deepest connection you had ever known. The Rigid, Authoritarian Family System: Parents were hyper-controlling, using performance or religion to shape you. You felt powerless and suffocated. Pornography, in contrast, offered a false sense of control and power over your environment. Both systems prime you for certain temptations. And recognizing this isn't about blaming parents or excusing behaviors. It's about gaining understanding. Because understanding is what allows us to grieve. And grieving opens the door to healing. As Jay says, “You can't just try to stop an unhealthy behavior. You have to understand why you were drawn to that behavior in the first place.” Shame Keeps You Stuck. Curiosity Sets You Free. As Christians, we know the seriousness of sin. But too often, we try to hate our way to holiness. We believe that if we punish ourselves enough, we'll finally change. But, the Apostle Paul tells us that it is God's kindness that leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4). Not our contempt. Not our loathing. Not our self-hatred. Jay encouraged us to replace self-contempt with curiosity. Ask yourself: Why am I drawn to this behavior? What is the pain underneath my actions? What does this reveal about my longing to be seen, known, and loved? When we approach our story with curiosity, we give God space to reveal the roots of our pain. The Shark of Shame: Swim Toward It Jay also shared a fascinating metaphor that I just love: Professional shark diver Andy Casagrande was once asked what to do if a great white shark is swimming toward you. His answer? Swim toward it. If you swim away, you act like prey. But if you move toward the shark, it confuses the predator, and it backs away. Shame operates the same way. When we run from it, it devours us. But when we confront it — facing it head on, sharing vulnerably in trusted community, seeking counseling, and naming our wounds — we rob shame of its power. Swim toward the shark of shame. Face it. Name it. And watch as it loses its grip on your life. Jesus Took Your Shame to the Cross This is where our faith becomes not just helpful, but essential. The world offers coping strategies, but Jesus offers complete redemption. He didn't just take your sin to the cross; He took your shame. Through His death and resurrection, we are invited into freedom. If you've ever felt like your past disqualifies you from God's love, let me remind you: Jesus knew your struggles when He went to the cross. He went anyway. He has already made a way for you to live in righteousness, peace, and freedom. This is the hope of Easter. The hope of the Gospel. From Crisis to Calling: Your Story Matters So often, the crises of our lives — the shame, the addictions, the brokenness — are actually invitations to transformation. Jay shared that in the absence of elders to guide us through rites of passage, our souls will create crises that force us to confront our identity and our wounds. Rather than run from the crisis, we can see it as a holy opportunity. Your struggle is not the end of your story. It's the beginning of a new chapter. When you engage your story with honesty and curiosity, you step into the redemption God has for you. You become part of His story of restoration — not just for you, but for others. Final Encouragement: There Is Hope for You Dear friend, this journey is not about perfection. It's about progress. It's about engaging your story with curiosity, leaning into the kindness of God, and walking the path of healing, step by step. Jesus took your sin. He took your shame. And He rose again to give you new life. This Easter, may you embrace the truth that resurrection is possible for you, too. You are deeply loved. You are seen. You are not alone. Happy Easter.   With love,   Belah & Team   PS - Check out Jay's book here: Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing PPS - If you want to take the first step into freedom and healing your marriage, schedule a free Clarity Call with us at delightyourmarriage.com/cc PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: “My husband and I lived parallel lives almost our entire marriage…The only thing he wanted from me in the relationship was sex. That was the last thing I wanted to give him because I was exhausted from trying to be the super mom and head of the household. This caused a rift in our relationship…After a separation in our own home we each began our own counseling…Both of our counselors questioned if a form of sex addiction might be part of the problem. I dove into trying to learn everything I could about sex addiction. I joined a 12 step group for spouses of sex addicts. That program is about avoiding unhealthy sexual behaviors. I didn't even know what healthy sexual behaviors were. After 4 years of marriage counseling and feeling stuck in a marriage that was barely hanging on, I discovered your program. I found hope for my marriage and began to see my husband in a different light”

How often do you say no? In this episode, I unpack the beautiful mess that is boundary-setting—with stories, psychology, and a touch of Brexit. This episode dives deep into what it really means to assert your needs. Boundaries aren't about building walls—they're more like installing a front door with a lock you actually use. We explore why people-pleasing kills self-respect, how resentment creeps in when you're too “nice,” and why your future depends on the limits you're willing to draw today. What you'll take away: 10 signs of poor boundaries How to spot a weak boundary before it drains your energy Why saying no can be the kindest thing you do You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate How to identify emotional manipulation in everyday relationships A quadrant model that makes difficult conversations easier Listen now if you're ready to stop being agreeable and start being respected.

This week, Eva brings a vulnerable and relatable truth to the table: she's been struggling with the belief that she's too rigid—too controlling, too particular, too unwilling to let go. Maybe you've had that inner voice too: Why can't I just chill? Why do I care so much? Why can't I just go with the flow like everyone else? But once we started pulling on that thread, things got interesting. This conversation is part therapy session, part spiritual detective work, and part reclaiming of the fiercely protective parts of ourselves. If you've ever been called “too much,” “too intense,” or “too uptight”… this one's for you.FIREBRAND

Welcome back to the kitchen table. If Bethany could tell her younger self one thing, it would be: rigid rules aren't what your children need. What really helps them thrive is routine and rhythm. Looking back, she sees how God's order in Genesis 1 and the reminder in 1 Corinthians 14:33 that God is a God of peace, not chaos, shaped her understanding of parenting.Bethany's children feel secure when they know what to expect. It's not about strict rules—it's about creating predictable rhythms that bring peace and comfort. Through routines, she's found that her children feel settled and confident, something rigid rules could never provide.Connect with Bethany hereFollow her on Instagram @bethanykimseyStop feeling defeated in your motherhood.

Mateusz Komander: When Process Becomes a Prison, Breaking Free from Over-Rigid Agile Team Practices Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Working with an airline scheduling tool development team, Mateusz encountered a situation where rigid processes became a self-imposed prison. Instead of adapting to challenges, the team's response to missed deadlines was to add more process layers, particularly around testing.  The daily standups became status reports rather than collaboration opportunities, with team members focused on appearing busy rather than supporting each other. Through careful intervention, Mateusz helped transform their daily meetings to focus on future collaborations and mutual support needs. Self-reflection Question: How can you identify if your team's processes are serving as protective measures or becoming barriers to effective collaboration? Featured Book of the Week: Managing for Happiness by Jurgen Appelo Mateusz recommends "Managing for Happiness" by Jurgen Appelo as an essential read for Scrum Masters. This book stands out for its practical combination of tools and real-life examples, helping create better environments for teams' daily work. Its inspirational approach makes it particularly valuable for Scrum Masters looking to introduce new practices and ideas to their teams. In this segment, we also refer to Emotional Intelligence, by Daniel Goleman.  [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

SUMMARY In this episode, Andrew is joined by Jenni Nather and Craig Wharem and they discuss the various aspects of martial arts organizations, including their benefits and drawbacks. They explore the importance of community, the legitimacy that associations can provide, and the cultural impact of being part of a group. The conversation also touches on personal experiences with associations and the value of mutual respect among instructors. TAKEAWAYS The camaraderie among school owners can enhance the testing experience. Associations may provide legitimacy to martial arts training. It's important for students to see their instructors learning from others. Joining an association should serve the needs of the school. The culture of a school is influenced by its associations. Not all associations require payment or strict adherence to rules. Rigid structures in associations can hinder personal growth. Community events can enhance the martial arts experience. Success in martial arts does not solely depend on being part of an association.

One of our responsibilities as a triathlete and a human is to figure out things that work best for us. Stress affects us all differently and one way to deal with it is to not take ourselves so seriously. Life is all about making deposits and withdrawals, where is your energy going?
