In today's episode, Gina discusses a novel conceptual approach to overcoming anxiety: actually unlearning the anxiety. Rather than just coping, "white knuckling it" or breathing through it, we can unlearn the practices that have lead us to use anxiety as a survival strategy. You can rewire your mind through mindful awareness, interrupting patterns that have led to anxiety in the past, and reframing your inner narrative to include more benevolent and calming content.

Many individuals have been conditioned to believe that anxiety is a lifelong companion—something to manage rather than fully overcome. I explore this notion, suggesting that the path to serenity lies not just in coping, but in unlearning the ingrained behaviors and responses that elevate our anxiety levels.I pose an essential question: what if coping, while useful, perpetuates our anxiety longer than necessary? We often adopt distraction techniques or shallow breathing as quick fixes, but these merely mask the root issues of our anxiety. It's time to recognize that anxiety isn't an inherent part of our identity, but a response to learned experiences. Each of us has the power to unlearn those responses and free ourselves from their persistent grip, allowing space for a calmer existence.Throughout our discussion, I emphasize the power of rewiring our minds. I encourage listeners to recall moments of realization that challenge long-held beliefs—those “aha” moments where understanding sparks change. We unpack how anxiety often stems not just from specific triggers, but from our learned responses to those triggers. This understanding is integral to the unlearning process. Instead of simply coping with anxiety—like wearing earplugs to muffle a smoke alarm—we can address the underlying alarm itself.#AnxietyCoach #UnlearnAnxiety #AnxietyRelief #BeyondCoping #RewireYourBrain #MentalWellness #MindfulLiving #PatternInterrupt #StressManagement #Neuroplasticity #HealAnxiety #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #CalmResponse #OvercomeFear #EmotionalFreedom #Reframing #TheAnxietyCoachesPodcast #UnlearningInventory #OldProgram #FixTheAlarm #PavingANewRoad #WormholeAnxiety #MeetThemDifferently #MindfulObservation #PauseAndRespond #ReframeTheNarrative #PathBeyondCoping #FreedomFromFear #ChoosePeace #EmotionalResilience #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Economic Slowdown Evident in Local Consumer Spending and Housing Guest Name: Jim McTague Summary:Despite lower gas prices in Lancaster County, a ripple effect from declining Asian imports is expected. Consumer caution remains high, with "English" shoppers buying essentials and avoiding expensive electronics. Local diners show less vibrancy, suggesting the economy has lost "some spring in its step." High-end real estate sales have also notably "dried up." 1887 CLINTON COUNTY PA

In this episode, Guy welcomed Karen Cheong, an energy healer who brilliantly broke down the complexities of our energy bodies and how trauma affects them. Karen emphasized that one cannot force an awakening on others as it is a personal journey, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and releasing unconscious blocks. The conversation dived deep into understanding the concept of awakening, the role of distortions in our lives, and how transcending these distortions can lead to profound shifts in both spiritual and physical realms. Karen also shed light on the significance of embracing our true infinite selves, and the collective shift in consciousness happening in the world today. About Karen: Karen Cheong is an international transformational speaker, writer, champion for self empowerment, and healer who has worked with thousands of people worldwide. After a health crisis in her early 20s catalysed her spiritual journey, she was driven by curiosity to explore the mystical and energetic systems that govern our experience—of ourselves, of others, and of life itself.  For over 25 years she integrated and applied deep inner work and learnings from some of the top names in the personal development space, as well as some of the more “out there” spiritual teachers, to a successful real estate business in San Francisco, California.  Despite the outward appearance of success, though, she still felt like something was missing—and that is when what she refers to as “frequency work” discovered her. By intensively releasing unconscious blocks she calls distortion patterns, she transformed not only the way her life looked, but the way her life felt. Momentum really started kicking in, and life became so much richer, so much fuller, and so much more expansive. During a life-changing 9 hour meditation she experienced a complete ego-death, fully merging back into the Oneness, where everything is inextricably interconnected. Ever since that pivotal experience, she has been able to perceive and make change at “frequency level,” the level of vibration that's like the blueprint that underlies our reality.

In this episode, Steph Saffer talks about one of the roadblocks to having impact, which is that people quit what they do because they can't SEE their impact. Steph describes the often unseen ripple effects of our actions. She uses the the story of Billy Beane and the Oakland Athletics, and illustrates how perceived failures can lead to significant changes and influence in the long run. The conversation encourages listeners to trust in their actions and recognize the potential for their efforts to create meaningful change, even when immediate results are not visible.Chapters00:00 The Quest for Impact00:27 The Story of Moneyball04:34 The Ripple Effect of Actions07:10 Understanding the Impact Process08:39 The Power of One Decision11:45 Every Action Matters14:06 Reflecting on Personal ImpactKeep in touch by signing up for "The Impact Effect" newsletter at stephsaffer.com

Jared Markiewicz's story started long before opening up his gym, Functional Integrated Training. Growing up as an only child with an absent father working to provide, he often struggled to feel seen. After losing the “big brother” energy he once found with neighborhood friends, Jared carried the sting of abandonment. That wound shaped his mission to become the “big brother” figure he once needed, whether training at his gym, mentoring high-achieving men, or showing up daily for his daughters and the young girls on their team. For over 13 years, Jared has helped busy parents and professionals thrive through strength training, small group coaching, and mentorship. In this heartfelt conversation, Tami and Jared go beyond fitness to explore its impact on fatherhood, failure, and fulfillment. They dive into how childhood experiences shape purpose, why presence matters more than perfection, and the ripple effect of physical health on emotional well-being and relationships. Takeaways: How childhood wounds shape leadership and purpose Fitness as a foundation for emotional connection & self-worth Progress over perfection in growth, parenting, and coaching The power of validation, repair, and mentorship Why being physically healthy impacts kids' emotional health Connect with Jared: Instagram: @coachjmark Facebook & LinkedIn: Jared Markiewicz Functional Integrated Training FIT Legacy

Today, we dive into a powerful message about the transformative power of obedience in our spiritual journey. Through the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, we're reminded that God's will for our lives often unfolds one step at a time. Just as Philip followed divine guidance without knowing the full picture, we're called to trust and obey, even when the path seems unclear. This narrative beautifully illustrates how God orchestrates divine appointments, bringing together those seeking truth with those willing to share it. The Ethiopian eunuch's encounter with Philip highlights that no one is beyond the reach of God's love and grace, regardless of social status, ethnicity, or past experiences. As we reflect on this, let's consider: What 'desert roads' in our lives might God be calling us to travel? How can we be more attentive to His voice and ready to share the good news with those we encounter?

In this episode, I share the wild story of how I manifested a full interstate move — from Perth to the Gold Coast — in just five weeks, and the shadows I had to alchemize to embody that reality. This isn't just about relocation — it's about anchoring into your truth, leading from your desires, and trusting the divine plan even when fear, judgment, and guilt threaten to pull you under. I take you through: ✨ How I broke free from the “box” of societal expectations of motherhood and sacrifice. ✨ The guilt, shame, and fear I had to move through around co-parenting, judgment, and being “a good mum.” ✨ The polarity of holding deep grief and terror while also knowing, in my soul, that the Gold Coast was my highest alignment. ✨ How I played with the universe — hosting a sold-out event in the Gold Coast as proof of my path. ✨ Why trusting the unseen, the void, and the uncertainty is the foundation of quantum leaping timelines. ✨ The ripple effect: how my move expanded not only my reality, but also my boys', my ex's, and the lineage beyond us. This is the story of collapsing old timelines, choosing wholeness over sacrifice, and embodying my highest version of self — for me, for my children, and for the collective. 00:00 Manifestation Journey: From Perth to Gold Coast 03:01 Navigating Co-Parenting and Personal Desires 05:58 Overcoming Inner Conflict and Societal Norms 08:51 Trusting the Universe: Letting Go of Control 11:36 Healing Through Grief and Self-Discovery 14:12 The Power of Trust and Surrender 16:47 Creating a New Reality: Co-Parenting Dynamics 19:47 The Ripple Effect of Personal Growth 22:26 Embodying Truth and Authenticity 25:00 Quantum Leaping into New Realities 27:32 The Gift of Expanded Consciousness 30:22 The Power of Alchemy and Transformation 33:11 Inviting Change: Sacred Alchemy Program Kailah x Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekailahlee/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KailahLeeKing/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thekailahlee Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thekailahlee ✨ FREE 13 minute Wealth Meditation Activation coded with 5D frequencies of limitless potential, abundance, wealth, possibility, and manifestation to become an energetic match for your quantum leap. https://www.kailahlee.co/offers/PHHAWmEJ/checkout

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, dives into one of the heaviest but most necessary conversations in law enforcement culture: what happens when you lose a fellow officer to suicide (Amazon Affiliate). It's a grief that doesn't fit neatly into words—an invisible wound compounded by guilt, anger, silence, and questions that may never have answers.   Check out the CDC study referenced here: Effects of Social and Occupational Stress, and Physical Strain on Suicidal Ideation Among Law Enforcement Officers We explore the raw emotional aftermath of suicide loss in the first responder community, what survivors often struggle with the most, and how to move forward without minimizing the pain. 1. The Unique Pain of Suicide Loss in Law Enforcement Why the shock hits differently when it's one of your own. How the sense of duty and family magnifies the grief. 2. Guilt and “What Ifs” That Haunt Survivors Common thoughts like, “Could I have seen the signs?” Why guilt is natural but rarely justified. 3. The Silence and Stigma Surrounding Suicide How cultural barriers keep people from openly mourning. The risk of unspoken pain turning into more unprocessed trauma. 4. The Ripple Effect on the Department and Family How trust, morale, and camaraderie are shaken. The dual weight of personal grief and professional responsibility. 5. What Survivors Need Most After a Suicide Loss Permission to grieve without judgment. Acknowledgment that the officer's life had value beyond their final act. Safe spaces to talk about pain without shame. Remedies & Pathways to Healing: Open Conversations: Normalize speaking about suicide without fear of stigma. Peer Support Programs: Leaning into peer-led groups helps survivors feel less alone. Professional Counseling: Specialized trauma and grief counseling tailored for first responders. Memorialization with Balance: Honoring the life lived while still acknowledging the reality of suicide. Building Protective Culture: Focusing on prevention through awareness, training, and ongoing support.

Mystical Messages host and veteran astrologer Hilary outlines the planetary energies for October 2025.  With the double eclipses behind us now, decisions await.  October is Libra season, a time of choices that shape our future.  Libra does not relish choosing between one or more options.  She sees value and downsides in every direction, often debating until the cows come home. It is the consequences of choosing Libra demurs from.  The ripple effect of Libra's decisions loom in front of her.  With both Sun and Messenger Mercury in Libra as October begins, we face myriad choices.  Spicing up our selective process, Valuable Venus cycles through Virgo, where she strives for perfection.  She shrinks from making a single mistake. Watch that you don't get caught on a hamster wheel of indecision. Help arrives as Generous Jupiter in compassionate Cancer urges self-care, nurturing and soul nourishment.  Dive into its warmth. Equally helping out is Pluto aligning to Uranus and Neptune prompting us to change our environment, the groups and individuals we surround ourselves with and how we communicate, all for the better.  Step out of your comfort zone to try something new. No better time than the first Monday, October 6th.  Under the bright spotlight of the Full Moon in Aries, our initiative sparkles. Feeling eager and edgy?  Leap and the net will appear.  Messenger Mercury joins Mars in Scorpio:   Change your thoughts, change your life, they say.  Mercury-Mars invite us to step into our power, be it our talents, influence, or finances.  Make sure to use your power wisely now.  Especially as Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio turns direct motion on Monday, October 13th.  This is one potent stretch and you do not want any karmic blowback.  Off-setting this intense energy, Valuable Venus enters Libra on October 12th.  Here, Venus comfortably designs her own life, choosing relationships that feel balanced. Enter the New Moon on Tuesday, October 21st in Libra, this New Moon invites us to design our lives as we desire.  Carefully craft 3-5 intentions that you seek to manifest over the next month or season.  Plant in the earth or set safely alight. The Sun turns into Scorpio on Thursday, October 23rd, challenging Pluto.  The more things change, the more we are required to adjust to these changes. How can you transform your will to meet this moment?  Remember:  Insistence is resistance. Messenger Mercury shifts into Sagittarius on Wednesday, October 29th.  Our minds turn toward education, travel and spirituality.  October unearthed only more questions for us to answer. See where they lead.  For it is only through the quest to learn and our willingness to be taught that we may begin to understand.   To reach Hilary Harley: www.hilaryharley.com http://www.hilaryharley.com/ Hilary@hilaryharley.com Facebook:  hilary harley. https://www.facebook.com/hilary.harley.3 hilary harley astrology https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057501487642  holistic healing https://www.facebook.com/hilaryharley714 Instagram:  hilary.harley https://www.instagram.com/hilary.harley    

Existing home sales don't count as new GDP output, but they trigger a burst of spending that powers dozens of industries. When sales sink, that “turnover multiplier” fades—hitting retailers, manufacturers, and last-mile logistics fast. This episode, inspired by U.S. home sales decline: How companies can offset the ripple effect, connects the macro dots (7% mortgage rates, rate-lock, inventory scarcity) to the micro results (weaker durable-goods demand, slower last-mile, cautious consumers).We highlight four strategies leaders are deploying to offset the drag—from IKEA x Best Buy pop-ups to Pro-segment plays, international expansion, AI shopping-agent readiness, and granular scenario modeling—so companies can protect margins now and position for the rebound.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why a Frozen Housing Market Ripples EverywhereExisting home sales projected near ~4M in 2025 vs. ~5–5.5M pre-pandemicRate-lock squeezes churn: owners won't swap 3% mortgages for ~7%Housing ≈16% of GDP: ~12% stable “housing services” vs. ~4% volatile RFI (the tripwire)Where the Drag Shows Up FirstDurable goods tied to moves: furniture, appliances, electronicsLogistics signal: softer last-mile for big-ticket deliveriesRetailers/manufacturers citing the freeze in H1 2025 resultsThe Four-Part Corporate PlaybookA.

When most people think of hunger, they imagine distant places or rare circumstances. But as Janet Michael, host of "The Valley Today," and her guest Les Sinclair, Communications and PR Manager for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, reveal in their recent conversation, hunger is a persistent, often invisible challenge right here in our own communities—one that doesn't care what month it is or what's on the calendar. Beyond Hunger Action Month: A Year-Round Crisis September is recognized as Hunger Action Month, a time when organizations and advocates rally to raise awareness about food insecurity. But as Les points out, “Hunger doesn't take a vacation. Hunger doesn't have a calendar. Hunger doesn't keep a schedule.” The need for food assistance is constant, affecting families, seniors, veterans, and individuals who may be working multiple jobs yet still struggle to put food on the table. He shares a poignant story of a family forced to sell their couch and kitchen table just to afford food for their children, illustrating the tough choices many face. “It's an invisible plight,” he says, noting that hunger often hides behind closed doors, affecting people who outwardly seem to be managing. The Ripple Effects of Food Insecurity The conversation delves into the broader impacts of hunger, from lost productivity in the workplace to the emotional toll on families. Janet & Les discuss how food is often the first thing sacrificed when money is tight—people skip meals to afford gas for work or pay essential bills. The consequences are far-reaching: children struggle to focus in school, adults become less productive at work, and the stress of food insecurity can lead to isolation and short tempers. Les references the work of local organizations like Bright Futures, which supports children in need, and highlights the saying, “Hungry stomachs have no ears,” underscoring how difficult it is for children to learn when they're hungry. Community Solutions: Food Pantries and the Power of Giving The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, along with a network of local pantries and innovative community fridges, plays a crucial role in addressing hunger. Les explains how donations—whether food or money—are maximized through the food bank's buying power, turning a single dollar into multiple meals. He also describes the logistical support the food bank provides, from refrigeration units to administrative assistance, ensuring that pantries can serve those in need efficiently. Janet & Les celebrate the rise of community fridges, where anyone can anonymously donate food, and emphasize that every little bit helps. “If you can buy an extra gallon of milk or a bag of apples, you can make a difference,” Janet says. The Policy Landscape: Government Shutdowns and Nutrition Programs The discussion turns to the impact of government policies on food security. With the threat of a government shutdown looming, Les explains how federal employees and contractors—many living paycheck to paycheck—can suddenly find themselves in need of food assistance. The ripple effect extends to local businesses and the broader economy, as uncertainty leads people to cut back on spending. Les also highlights the importance of federal nutrition programs like SNAP and the Emergency Food Assistance Program, which not only help individuals but also stimulate local economies. He urges listeners to advocate for strong, fully funded nutrition programs and to reach out to elected officials, noting that hunger is a bipartisan issue that affects everyone, regardless of background or political affiliation. Reach Congressman Ben Cline's office here: https://cline.house.gov/  A Call to Action: Volunteer, Donate, Advocate As the episode draws to a close, Janet and Les encourage listeners to get involved. Volunteerism is down nationwide, but the need is greater than ever. Whether it's stocking shelves, offering administrative skills, or simply sharing information on social media, every contribution counts. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank's website offers resources for finding local pantries, making donations, and signing up to volunteer. “Hunger doesn't care about your race, creed, or political party,” Les reminds us. “We just want to make sure people have the food they need so they can thrive.” Conclusion The fight against hunger is ongoing, and it requires the collective effort of individuals, organizations, and policymakers. As this conversation makes clear, everyone has a role to play—whether by donating, volunteering, or raising awareness. Because in the end, everyone deserves enough to eat.

As an attorney that has spent most of their career defending trucking companies, there have only been a handful of times that it seemed a potential piece of legislation might radically change the way I practice law. Most of these were in the late 1990's and early 2000's when there was a concerted effort to institute massive Tort Reforms - particularly in the area of medical malpractice - that would have ripple-effects throughout the courts. But even when it seemed like the sea-change might be on the horizon, there was still a horizon, a distance between proposing an idea and instituting it that allowed stakeholders to prepare themselves. But for my guest today, both she and her clients are required to navigate a legal-landscape that almost ceases to shift beneath their feet. Saja Raoof is a Business Immigration Attorney whose passion for the field began with an internship at the National Immigration Project in Boston during her first year of law school.She would go on to intern for the American Civil Liberties Union and since 2006 her practice has focused on Business Immigration Law where her clients have included engineering and architecture firms, startups, overseas companies, nonprofits, as well as all of their highly talented foreign national employees.In this week's episode of Legal Grounds, we discuss her own immigration story, how it informs the way she helps her clients, and the effects of navigating the Kafkaesque system of immigration law. It is a fascinating & necessary conversation that attorneys of any stripe need to hear.

Finally, we tackle the massive ripple effects of TSMC's $40B chip plant, including the ambitious North Park master-planned community and what this surge in jobs and development means for multifamily investors.

Chuck Price, President, AI Kinetics joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss Bot Auto's successful 40-mile, fully autonomous run with no human in the cab or operating the vehicle remotely.In what Chuck Price calls a “watershed event,” Bot Auto successfully completed a driver-out run in under two years with less than $45 million in funding, compared to other competitors which are currently spending $600 million+ a year.Bot Auto's accomplishment could have broad implications for the autonomous trucking industry in terms of technological roadmaps and commercialization strategies.

We discuss the return-to-office (RTO) trend in Canada and its impact on real estate markets. Employers are increasingly mandating office attendance and the resulting effects on urban centers, housing markets, and workplace dynamics are fascinating. Canadian employers (government, banks, telecoms) are mandating 4-5 days in-office by 2026, with downtown foot traffic still 43% below pre-pandemic levels in Toronto. The RTO trend is affecting real estate markets, with downtown rental prices increasing while some remote workers who relocated during COVID face difficult decisions about moving back. Some employers may be using RTO mandates as a "layoff filter" to encourage voluntary departures without formal layoffs - a tactic that 25% of executives admit hoping will prompt staff to quit.

In this episode, I'm diving into the ripple effect of a leader's words. Words like always and never may feel small, but they carry incredible weight.

Join me as I explore how to replace absolutes with curiosity, nuance, and possibility, both in our leadership and in our self-talk. Enjoy!

Hi friend — welcome back to The Habit Within! I'm Camille Kinzler, and today we're wrapping up our series with a conversation that feels so close to my heart: the ripple effect of healing.Here's what I've learned — symptoms are not your enemy. They're sacred messengers. And when we shift from seeing them as problems to fix, to signals pointing us toward unmet needs, everything changes. This is what I call root cause reverence. And when we begin to honor those signals, something powerful happens: our own healing ripples outward into our families, our relationships, and our communities.In this episode, I share:Why symptoms are invitations, not punishmentsHow epigenetics shows us that our daily choices — not our DNA — write the story of our healthWhy you can't supplement your way out of self-abandonment (or green juice your way past burnout)How focusing on your own healing creates a ripple effect that shifts everyone around youA few personal reflections on perimenopause, motherhood, and learning to see my body's signals with grace instead of frustrationThis is not about chasing the next protocol. It's about listening, slowing down, and remembering that your body is wise — and when you honor that wisdom, you don't just heal yourself. You inspire everyone around you to rise too.Big Takeaways:Your symptoms are sacred messengers — not your identity.Healing at the root cause is holistic — physical, emotional, and relational.When you heal, the ripple effect is contagious.I'd love to hear from you: What's one signal your body has been sending that you're ready to honor? Send me a message, tag me, or share this episode with a friend who needs the reminder that healing is possible.If you're tired of feeling exhausted, irritable, moody, and just not like yourself, schedule a free 30-minute consultation so I can help you feel like YOU again Fill out this brief form (2 min) to schedule a free 30-minute call.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Fitness League, Joelle, Alessandra, and Josh dive into the deep, often unspoken link between spirituality and health. They start with a vulnerable, personal conversation about their own spiritual journeys—what shaped their beliefs, how they've evolved, and why this topic matters more now than ever.  Then, they shift into the science—breaking down research on how practices like mindfulness, prayer, and community-based faith impact physical and mental health outcomes. From navigating organized religion and personal convictions, to the influence of social media, modern culture, and parenthood, this episode isn't about giving answers—it's about asking better questions. It's about simplifying what spirituality can look like in real life—and why it could be the missing piece in your pursuit of health. Whether you're grounded in faith or simply curious, you'll walk away from this episode reminded of one powerful truth: real change starts with you. And when you grow, everyone around you feels it.

Ever wonder how some people seem to always land next-level opportunities, top-tier guests, and life-changing connections? Spoiler alert: it's not luck — it's strategy, baby. In this episode of the Communication Queen podcast, Kimberly Spencer sits down with Trevor Houston, host of the Who You Know podcast, to reveal how podcasting can be your ultimate networking superpower. Trevor shares how he went from starting a show in 2018 to landing interviews with big names like Grant Cardone, Elena Cardone, and Rachel Cruze — and how each guest became a stepping stone to the next big door. But this conversation goes way deeper than guest lists. Trevor breaks down his “Push Power to Power” philosophy, how to create genuine win-win relationships (without feeling like a leech), and why presence and active listening are the secret weapons of next-level networking. We also dive into how to turn podcast interviews into content machines, how to add value without being pushy, and why you should bless them, block them, and protect your energy when trolls show up. If you've ever wanted to use podcasting to grow your network, uplevel your circle, and create opportunities that align with your mission — this is your permission slip to play bigger.

Why is it so easy to bet on your favorite team, stocks, or fantasy league—yet so hard to bet on yourself?  In this powerful solo episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I share why most people avoid going all in on themselves and the fears, excuses, and illusions of control that keep them stuck. I open up about my own story of leaving a secure path at IMG Academy, walking away from 90% of my income at Renaissance Periodization, and investing $50,000 into a coach when I had nothing certain lined up—all because I was committed to betting on myself. In this episode, you'll learn: Why people avoid betting on themselves and play small How illusions of control keep you stuck in fear and excuses The hidden cost of betting only on things outside your control Why responsibility, rejection, and uncertainty scare us—and how to face them How betting on yourself creates confidence, peace, and exponential growth The role of short-term sacrifice in creating long-term fulfillment Why modeling self-belief inspires and lifts everyone around you This episode is a wake-up call: stop dimming your light, stop waiting for the perfect moment, and take the risk. Because the greatest bet you'll ever place—the one with the highest return—is the bet you place on yourself. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Betting on yourself means full ownership—no one else to blame. Fear of judgment, rejection, and failure keeps most people from going all in. Responsibility is scary, but it's also the path to peace and fulfillment. My leap from RP coaching and a $50,000 investment was proof of betting on myself—and it paid off. Confidence and belief are built in action, not in waiting for certainty. Betting on yourself elevates everyone around you through your example. Key Quotes: “You can't become better unless you bet on yourself.” “When you bet on things beyond your control, you reinforce self-doubt.” “Fear and confidence can coexist—you can be scared and certain at the same time.” “The biggest risk isn't failing. It's never knowing what could have happened if you bet on yourself.” “Money comes and goes. Focus and attention are the true currencies of high performance.” “Stop dimming your light—you're teaching your kids it's okay to play small.” “Every bet you place on yourself creates a ripple effect of belief, confidence, and growth.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Why We Bet on the Wrong Things 02:00: My Early Career at IMG Academy 04:30: Cold Calls & Finding RP 06:30: Building a Coaching Business 08:40: Walking Away from 90% of My Income 10:55: The $50,000 Bet That Changed Everything 12:30: Why We Avoid Betting on Ourselves 14:40: Two Paths: Conflict vs. Fulfillment 16:15: Rewiring Belief & Confidence 18:10: Fear and Confidence Can Coexist 20:15: The Hard Truth About Sacrifice 22:05: The Ripple Effect of Self-Belief 23:45: Final Challenge: Bet on Yourself

This week, we hear more from Mishelle about the impact of The Guthy Jackson Foundation's response to the revelations about Lisa McDaniel is having on her family.

Most people think of the 80s as a simple time full of big hair and scrunchies, but those of us who were into Dungeons and Dragons will remember the Satanic Panic, a period of time when parents were terrified that every piece of media was making their children evil. Our hosts Matt and Joe take a walk through a history they remember quite well, drawing from their own experiences as kids trying to get into D&D and comics.A listener asked about the history and influence of the Satanic Panic, so Joe and Matt were more than happy to talk smack about Tipper Gore for an hour.

If you could become your most magnetic self in just a few minutes a day… what would change for you?

While visiting patients at a children's hospital last week, a little boy asked who my favorite nurse was during my own hospital stay. It felt a bit like being asked to pick a favorite child, but I shared the story of how one nurse's seemingly simple acts had a mighty impact on my life. The list of extraordinary caregivers at Mercy who helped me survive burns over my entire body is long—Cissy the brilliant charge nurse, Lisa the fiery floor nurse, Roy the visionary man who helped me walk forward, and Delores the lovely CNA with a contagious laugh. But the one I told that boy about last week was Sue Rodrigues. Let me explain.
