https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM731_FINAL.mp3 The survival set point is the pattern that has you saying yes when every part of you wants to say no — and it runs on a single, underlying emotion: desperation. In this episode, Steph Tuss and I get into why this set point is so pervasive among entrepreneurs, where it comes from, and what it’s quietly costing you in your health, your business, and your relationships. This is Part 3 of the Financial Setpoint Series. If you’re new to the series, Episode 729 introduces the full framework and includes access to the free Psychological Set Point Analyzer at lifeisnowinc.com/setpoint. Episode 730 covers the scarcity set point. Start there if you want the full picture. Survival Set Point: The Three Places It Shows Up in BusinessThe survival set point shows up most visibly in three areas. The first is client selection. When you’re operating from survival mode, the fear of having nothing is louder than your judgment about whether someone is a good fit. You take the client who gives you bad energy in the discovery call. You work with the team member you know is underperforming because the thought of not finding someone better feels too risky. The underlying belief is the same in both cases: if I say no to this, there might not be anything else. The second is scope creep. When a client pushes a deadline, asks for extra deliverables, or slips requests in outside the original agreement, you feel it in your body first — that tightening, that discomfort. But then your mind goes to work justifying it. They’re a good client. I don’t want them to be upset. I’ll just do it this once. And you cave. Every time. That’s not a communication problem. That’s a survival set point telling you that holding a boundary means losing something you can’t afford to lose. The third is the slow-period panic. When business slows down, the survival set point amplifies into something closer to crisis mode. Desperation and panic run together, and when you’re in panic, you lose the ability to think clearly. You slash prices and pivot to things you don’t actually want to do. You make reactive decisions that feel urgent but aren’t strategic — and the first thing you sacrifice is the clear thinking that would actually solve the problem. Survival Set Point: Where It Starts and Why Entrepreneurs Are Especially VulnerableMost of the business owners Steph and I have worked with over the past 35 years grew up in some form of a chaotic household. That’s not a coincidence. When your sense of safety as a child depended on reading the room, managing unpredictable people, or simply taking care of yourself, your nervous system learns to operate in survival mode as its default. The problem is that when you become an adult and start a business, your subconscious doesn’t automatically update. It keeps running the same programming — except now the stakes feel like payroll and client relationships instead of childhood survival. One of the things Steph pointed out in this conversation is that the survival set point is also a control set point. People who grew up in chaos learned to cope by controlling whatever they could. In business, that shows up as micromanaging your team when money gets tight, over-involvement in every decision, and an inability to delegate — not because you don’t trust your people, but because releasing control feels genuinely dangerous. The cost shows up in your team’s performance, in your health, and eventually in the sustainability of the business itself. The Cost — and the Path OutThe survival set point is one of the most physically taxing of the four types. The constant state of low-grade anxiety, dysregulated cortisol, and fear-based decision-making takes a real toll. Steph and I both see it in clients who are struggling with persistent health issues — fatigue, disrupted sleep, and the kind of chronic stress that accumulates when you never feel safe. The financial cost is equally real. Surviving month to month, using lines of credit to relieve pressure rather than to invest, and making decisions from fear rather than strategy — none of these move the business forward. They just buy another month. The way out is awareness first, then reprogramming. The Psychological Set Point Analyzer at lifeisnowinc.com/setpoint will tell you whether survival is your primary pattern, along with a seven-day plan to start shifting it. Steph and I are also hosting the Elite Mind Intensive on August 18th and 19th — two days focused specifically on set point work at a deeper level. Details are in the show notes. Episode 542 – Reverse Engineer Your Vision Episode 470 – Be Grateful for the Opportunity to Work Episode 129 – What’s the Difference Between a True Desire, a Want, Lust, or a Fear-Based Need? YOU'VE LEARNED THE STRATEGIES… SO WHY DOES YOUR REVENUE STILL CONTINUE TO PLATEAU?Here’s what I know about most business owners: They’re working hard, doing the right things, and still hitting the same income ceiling year after year. That ceiling has a name — it’s your Financial Set Point. It’s the unconscious limit you’ve placed on what you believe you can earn, and until you see it clearly, it runs the show no matter what strategies you put in place.That’s what we work on at my upcoming Business Intensive in August. Over two days, I'll help you identify your financial set point, understand why it’s there, and break through it so you can finally earn what you want without the constant struggle and hustle that’s been getting you nowhere.If that sounds like exactly what’s been missing, you don’t want to sit this one out.

In this episode of Here I Am, Shai sits down with Nate Shalev, co-founder of Shalom Dykes, an organization creating safe, inclusive, and joyful spaces for Jewish LGBTQ dykes. Nate shares their decade-long journey organizing with the NYC Dyke March, a community that once championed inclusion for all, and how everything shifted after October 7th when conversations about Israel within the march's leadership broke down, anti-Zionism was embedded into the organization's values, and Jewish members were effectively pushed out.Rather than counter-protesting, Nate channeled that loss into building something new. Shalom Dykes launched with no idea who would show up, only to draw hundreds, then 600, then 2,500 signatures on an open letter. Nate reflects on what it means to need your community's safe spaces while being told you no longer belong in them, the painful double life of watching a wife check hostage lists each morning while colleagues with no personal connection to the conflict demanded performative statements, and why building joyful, visible Jewish queer community is itself an act of resistance and hope.Guest: Nate Shalev, Co-founder of Shalom DykesConsider DONATING to help us continue and expand our media efforts.

Send us Fan MailA new request lands on your plate. It is important, visible, and hard to dismiss. But it also conflicts with the priorities already on your calendar.This is where many women leaders assume they need to prepare for a "no" conversation. They start figuring out how to decline the request, soften the message, or explain why their plate is already full. But that is often the wrong frame.In this Monday Momentum episode of *Communicate to Lead*, Kele Belton continues the June series on the difficult conversations women leaders walk into, braced for a fight. This episode explores why some requests are not boundary moments at all. They are tradeoff moments. Kele breaks down how to protect the work that matters most, redirect a request without sounding defensive, and stay in the strategic conversation with your manager or stakeholder.What You'll LearnWhy defending a "no" often makes it sound like you are protecting yourself instead of protecting the workThe difference between a boundary that closes a door and a redirect that opens a better pathA two-part strategy for naming what you are protecting and offering a specific alternativeHow to respond when a request conflicts with your priorities without sounding apologetic, overwhelmed, or resistantWho This Is ForThis episode is for women leaders, managers, and high-performing professionals who want to handle competing priorities, communicate more strategically, and respond with clarity when a new request does not fit what is already on their plate.Your Action StepNotice the next request that lands on your plate this week and does not fit. Before you say yes, and before you start drafting a no, pause. Ask yourself: what am I protecting, and what alternative path can I offer? Then bring both into the conversation and see how different it feels to redirect instead of refuse.Mentioned in This Episode Episode 113: 4 Strategies to Advance Your Career When Your Manager Has Checked OutEpisode 162: Why Your Work Environment May Be Blocking Your Leadership Growth | Part 2 of 3Episode 143: How to Say No at Work: Decline Requests Without Damaging Your ReputationEpisode 126: How to Say No at Work Without Guilt | Setting Boundaries for Leaders in Q4AI PromptUse this prompt to prepare for a conversation where you need to redirect a request from your manager or a stakeholder. Paste it into your preferred AI assistant and answer the questions as they come.I'm a [role] in [industry]. My [manager, stakeholder, peer] has asked me to take on a new request, and it conflicts with what I'm already committed to. Help me prepare a two-part redirect that names what I'm protecting and offers a specific alternative path.Ask me 3 questions:What is the new request, and what am I already committed to that it conflicts with?What priority, timeline, or piece of work am I genuinely protecting, and why does it matter to the business or the team?What specific alternative can I realistically offer that would serve the work better than my saying yes today?Then write:Part one: a sentence that names what I'm protecting without making it about my workload or wellbeing.Part two: a specific alternative path I can offer, with a closing question that invites my manager into the decision.Constraints:Forward-facing toneNo language that signals refusal, overwhelm, or apologyMust carry the same weight as "I want to protect the timeline we agreed upon for the priority project, so taking this on now would put that at risk. What I can do is [the specific alternative]. Would that work?"Must sound like a strategic leader offering a better path, not someone declining a requestAvoid softening language like "just," "a little," "maybe," "I was thinking," "I wanted to mention," or "I'm sorry"The closing question must invite a real decision, not a yes-or-no reactionExample (output style)Opening sentence: "I want to protect the timeline we agreed upon for the Q3 platform launch, so taking this on now would put that at risk."Alternative path with closing question: "What I can do is take the strategy piece if someone else owns the execution.

What Can't You Say No To - Sunday Morning 06-07-26
The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity By: Carl R. Trueman Published: 2026 256 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? In the standard story of the transition from the premodern to the modern, the world has gradually been disenchanted. Depending on who you are, this is either a good thing, a sad thing, or a mixed thing. Trueman's contention is that disenchantment has, over the last few decades, transitioned to desecration. In his telling, the modern world hasn't just outgrown the sacred, it's rebelled against it. Much like a headstrong teenager might revel in doing the opposite of what his parents expect, society has come to celebrate the transgression of things that were previously deemed to be holy. These transgressions are not only a source of rebellious pleasure, but more critically, they provide a way to make the person feel superior to the divine. Violating rules and norms allows one to feel above them. Why is this important? Because (pulling in Nietzsche) having rejected God, men now need to become gods, and this is one way to do it. But these transgressions, rather than elevating men, debase them. We see this debasement in everything from the sexual revolution down through assisted suicide and IVF. In the end Trueman claims one can either accept Christianity root-and-branch or engage in full-on Nietzschean self-creation, but that there is no middle ground, no cultural Christianity, no stable progressive moral creation. It is either one extreme or the other. What authorial biases should I be aware of? Trueman is, himself, a root-and-branch Christian, so he definitely favors one side over the other. Who should read this book? ...

Mike Choi wanted to work at Apple for years. Then he got there and had the moment many ambitious builders eventually hit.Is this the thing I was sprinting toward?In this episode of The Tech Trek, Mike Choi, co founder at Koah, shares his path from Korea to the United States, mandatory military service, Apple, Twitter, and eventually building Koah, an AI monetization company helping AI app builders create sponsored experiences.The conversation is less about the glamour of startups and more about what founder work actually demands: making decisions without complete information, learning from Big Tech without copying it, and staying focused when AI moves faster than your team can absorb.Practical Takeaways• Big Tech can teach you strong operating patterns, but startups force you to build your own style.• Founder decisions rarely come with complete data. Moving creates the next data point.• In AI startups, speed can become a distraction if every new tool or feature changes the plan.• Clear vision helps teams make decisions without waiting on the founder.• Knowing when to share an idea matters as much as having the idea.Timestamped Highlights00:38, Mike explains Koah and why AI products need new monetization models.02:25, Mike shares how his father's Korean Air Force service brought him to the United States as a child.05:01, Mandatory military service, pausing college, and learning to code around strong engineers.07:29, The long term goal of working at Apple and the unexpected feeling after getting there.10:57, Why Mike chose to build from scratch instead of staying on the Big Tech path.14:05, What Big Tech did and did not prepare him for as a founder.17:03, The founder lesson of making decisions before the full picture is clear.19:35, Why AI startups move so fast and how shiny object syndrome drains energy, time, and attention.One Line That Stuck“Just make the decision, produce data points that way through actions, and make a better decision tomorrow.”Subscribe to The Tech Trek for more conversations on how modern technical teams are building, hiring, operating, and adapting around AI, data, platform, product, and engineering execution.

As we celebrate Friend Day, Pastor Randy breaks down the most common reasons people might say "no" to receiving the free gift of salvation.
AP correspondent Jennifer King reports on a fire at a massive medical equipment warehouse in Northern California.
In a portfolio career, requests have a funny way of multiplying. A speaking gig here, a board invite there, a coffee catch-up that sounds valuable but drains you for days. The answer to all of them is technically "yes" right up until the moment it isn't. Katie is 18 months into consulting and a portfolio career, and she came to me with a problem a lot of people share: she's getting busier, she cares deeply about protecting time for values-driven work, and saying no is a muscle she's still building. This episode is part of The Work Edit, a format on How I Work where I sit down with someone facing a real professional challenge and we work through it together live. We cover my yes triage framework, the no club concept, the to-don't list, the never again list, and a simple rule called the next Tuesday test. Katie and I discuss: The yes triage: three questions to run every request through before deciding, and why you need a "hell yes" to at least two of them Why saying yes out of flattery or guilt is so common, and how to catch yourself doing it The no club: how a small group of trusted colleagues can give you the objective perspective you can't give yourself The to-don't list and how to use it monthly to protect your energy from the things you already know drain you The never again list for the spectacularly bad decisions you keep forgetting you made Why a slow no is not polite and why a fast no within 24 hours is almost always the kinder move The next Tuesday test: how to reality-check a far-off commitment by imagining it was happening this week Key quotes "A slow no is actually unkind because the other person is just waiting and probably following up when they could already be finding someone who'll say yes." "What all these strategies do is reduce cognitive load. There's no longer a decision to make. There's just a rule to follow." My latest book The Energy Game is out on July 7, 2026.

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text!Have you ever noticed that we set boundaries around the things that we value? We lock our doors at night. We put fences around swimming pools. We protect our passwords. We don't give our car keys to strangers. And yet, when it comes to our time, our energy, our emotions, and our relationships - the very things that make up our lives - we often leave the gate wide open! Psychologist, Dr. Michele Fleming, sits down with Elizabeth (for part one of a two-part series) to talk about boundaries as guardrails that help us love people well without losing ourselves in the process. *show notes* Books by Drs.

Michael Tsarion and David Whitehead have appeared on Here for the Truth seventeen times between them. For the show's three hundredth episode, they sit down together with us for the first time — co-hosts of Unslaved, the long-form, ad-free platform Michael started in 2016 as the antidote to everything truth-seeking content had become.The conversation circles Michael's signature concept of psychic immunity — that knowledge without the inner discipline to metabolize it just produces louder, more articulate versions of the same lost person. David brings it into the language of intellectual self-defense, the partner of physical self-defense, both built on a self-valuation most people never develop. They name why the alternative community plateaus into tourism, and what it costs to choose your own path against the chorus telling you not to.Truth against the world.(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:37) Opening Conversation(03:24) Show Start(04:16) What Unslaved Means(08:52) David On Sovereignty(14:26) Why Long Form Matters(20:18) Unslaved Community And Censorship(25:09) Psychic Immunity Explained(35:51) Discernment And Sharing Truth(43:24) Mystery School Milestone(47:56) Keeping the Dojo Neutral(54:01) Courage to Say No(59:43) 2020 Aftermath Reflections(01:09:13) Avoiding Alt Community Traps(01:19:12) Solitude in a Noisy World(01:25:18) Tourists And Worthiness(01:37:50) Justice And Evil Origins(01:48:12) Media Pacification TricksGuest LinkUnslaved: https://unslaved.comConnect with UsStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem Reset → https://selfesteemreset.com/Watch Our Episodes → https://hereforthetruth.com/episodes/Join our free Telegram community → https://t.me/areyouhereforthetruthJoin our membership Friends of the Truth → https://hereforthetruth.com/fott/Build your digital home with Atlas → https://atlasdigital.world/
Dry July, No Drama: Daily Tips for a Take It or Leave It Relationship With Alcohol EPISODE 6: How to Say No to Alcohol Without Going to War With Yourself - Dry July, No Drama This goes against everything we have been taught about cutting back on alcohol. Instead of going into battle - lean in. A craving is not your enemy. It is just a trigger - a way of your body letting you know that something is not OK. So rather than fighting your body in distress, the invitation is to get curious and ask: Would I be having to do something I don't want to do? Would I be pushing through beyond my exhaustion? Is my busy brain driving me bananas? Is drinking the only way I can give myself permission to stop and sit down? Your body is not broken. It is resourceful. It found a solution. Our job is to find a better one - together. Part of changing our relationship with alcohol involves working out how to create those experiences the way we want them - without using alcohol. But the first step is always curiosity and awareness. Not warfare. This episode is part of Dry July, No Drama - a daily MidlifeAF podcast mini series with tips for cutting back on alcohol without willpower, labels or forever. My Awareness Worksheets are perfect for this episode - working through the answers to these questions will change your relationship with alcohol for the better.

In this episode, Alex Quin and Michelle Chia return to the podcast after a brief hiatus to share personal and professional updates, discuss the realities of entrepreneurship, and break down the healthy habits that help them sustain long workdays without burning out. From sleep, exercise, nutrition, and stress management to setting boundaries, journaling, and personal growth, they offer practical insights for entrepreneurs looking to build successful businesses while protecting their health and well-being.Episode Outline:[00:00] Welcome Back and Life Updates[02:15] Agency Growth, New Clients, and New Books[04:20] Why We Chose Healthy Habits for Entrepreneurs[08:05] Sleep, Recovery, and Long-Term Performance[10:12] Taking Breaks, Walking, and Staying Active[12:25] Time Blocking and Productivity Systems[14:15] Setting Boundaries With Clients[16:05] Learning to Say No[17:35] WHOOP, Oura Ring, and Health Tracking[19:05] Michelle's Cortisol and Stress Story[21:40] Nutrition, Hydration, and Managing Stress[23:10] The Tarzan "Swinging Vines" Concept[25:05] Becoming Your 2.0 Self[26:40] Journaling, Books, and Personal Growth[27:50] Habits We're Trying to Change[28:40] Final Thoughts and Closing RemarksWisdom Nuggets:Sleep Is a Competitive Advantage: Entrepreneurs often treat sleep like a luxury instead of a necessity. Alex and Michelle remind us that better decisions, sharper focus, and sustainable growth all start with proper recovery. The goal isn't to work more hours—it's to make your hours more effective.Protect Your Energy: Being available 24/7 may feel like great customer service, but constant accessibility creates burnout. Setting healthy boundaries with clients, coworkers, and even family members allows you to show up at your best when it matters most.Track Your Health Like Your Business: Most entrepreneurs obsess over revenue, sales, and analytics while ignoring their own health metrics. Monitoring stress levels, sleep quality, blood work, and recovery can help identify issues early and improve long-term performance.Let Go to Level Up: Growth often requires releasing habits, relationships, or routines that no longer serve your future. Like Tarzan swinging from one vine to the next, you have to let go of the old before you can fully grab onto new opportunities.Become Your Next Version: Success isn't about staying the same person and hoping for different results. The habits, mindset, and behaviors that got you here may not be enough to get you where you want to go next. Continuous self-improvement is a requirement, not an option.Power Quotes"Your heart rhythm is a very important thing that people don't even pay attention to." - Alex Quin"It's okay to say no and it's okay to put yourself first." - Michelle ChiaConnect with Michelle:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/michellechia)Linkedin: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-chia1/)Connect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Books Mentioned:Atomic Habits — James ClearThe Road Less Stupid — Keith J.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the South Texas Judo Podcast, we discuss an important topic that applies to every martial arts school: the right to say “No.” Whether it's randori, groundwork, sparring, or choosing a training partner, every student deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected on the mats. We talk about training partner selection, size and strength differences, hygiene, communication with coaches, and why creating a positive training environment is essential for the growth of any martial arts community. Respect, safety, and trust are just as important as technique.Support the show

You leave your prenatal appointment and get in your car. And something just feels off.You are confused. Unsettled. Maybe a little worried about your body or your baby. And you spend the whole drive home trying to figure out what just happened in there and what you are supposed to do about it.In this episode, I am walking you through exactly what to do when something does not feel right with your provider.Whether it is an induction conversation that caught you completely off guard, a big baby warning that sent you straight to Google, or a provider you are just not sure about anymore. And I am being really honest in this one, too, because I have nodded and smiled my way out of appointments that did not feel right, gotten in my car, and completely lost it. I was a doula. I knew better. And I still did it.

Have you ever said "yes" to a great opportunity… only to realize later that it pulled you away from what mattered most?The more successful you become, the more opportunities show up. But not every opportunity deserves your time, energy, or attention. In episode #1202, George and Mary-Lynn explore why ambitious people often struggle most with saying no.George shares a personal story about overextending himself early in his entrepreneurial journey and the costly lesson he learned about chasing too many opportunities at once.We introduce a simple three-part Opportunity Filter Framework designed to help you evaluate new opportunities before committing your time, energy, and attention. You'll learn how to align opportunities with your long-term vision, protect your current priorities, and count the real cost of every "yes."BIGG Takeaways:Saying no can be challenging, but it's crucial for maintaining focus on what truly matters.Every opportunity you say yes to comes with a hidden cost that could derail your goals.A clear vision helps filter opportunities, ensuring they align with your long-term aspirations.Prioritizing your current goals is essential; even good opportunities can be bad timing at times.To decide what deserves your yes, use the three-part Opportunity Filter Framework effectively.Clarity and focus are key; they protect your future and help build momentum towards success.BIGG Chapters:[00:15] Starting a New Venture in Real Estate[01:30] The Dangers of Overextension[03:03] Navigating Opportunities: The Challenge of Choice[05:48] The Opportunity Filter Framework[08:37] Saying No to Opportunities[11:10] Challenging the Traditional Work-Life ModelLinks referenced in this episode:Join our newsletterBIGG Success Life Map Course
The Republican Party is not just ineffective. It has become an obstacle to us on key issues. Sadly, thanks to Trump's "leave no RINO behind" endorsement policy, it is getting even worse. Today, I go through Trump's recent endorsements and show how they are worse than supporting Democrats, although they will ensure that Democrats win anyway. Therefore, at some point we have nothing left to lose by actually refusing to support garbage Republicans in a general election. I dive deep into the negative efficacy of voting for the establishment, the growing bipartisan pushback against wind, solar, and data center monopolies, and the shocking arrest of a peaceful protester in Dixon, Illinois, over a Facebook post.

It may seem impossible that atheistic Communists could make common cause with theocratic sharia-supremacists. But, as the great Amy Mek's RAIR Foundation has documented on X today, just such a “Red-Green alliance” is jointly mounting a concerted political warfare campaign in Ft. Worth, Texas. Its immediate object is to lionize a Muslim woman recently reassigned from the position of principal of a 2000-student high school in that city pending an investigation into her problematic social media posts. Among other things, they dissemble about the threat posed by Islam's strategy for war known as sharia. The designated terrorist group called CAIR is seeking to use a Ft. Worth school board meeting this afternoon to force it to restore Shayma Alzubi to a leadership role in the city's public education. Patriotic Americans are going to stand up against them.

Do you struggle with knowing how to say no without feeling guilty?Maybe you've said yes to something, then immediately felt that heavy feeling in your stomach because you knew you didn't really have the time, energy, or desire to do it.In this episode, I'm talking about how to say no in a way that honors your life, your people, your peace, and the work God has placed in your hands. We're continuing the conversation from the last episode on what it means to choose your absence and turning our attention to chapter 17 of The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman, where she talks about finding a “no mentor.”A no mentor is someone who can help you make wise decisions when you already know something should probably be a no, but you don't quite have the confidence to say it yet. This is the person who reminds you of what you value, what you have time for, what season you're in, and what you truly want to give your energy to.Because the truth is, saying no is not always easy.Sometimes we say yes because we don't want to hurt people's feelings.Sometimes we say yes because we want to seem agreeable.Sometimes we say yes because we feel responsible for everything and everyone.And sometimes we say yes because the opportunity looks good, even though deep down we know it does not align with where we are going.But when we keep saying yes to things that do not belong, our calendar gets full, our hearts get heavy, and we lose the space we need for the things that truly matter.In this episode, I share why information is not always enough. We can read the books, listen to the advice, and understand that we need better boundaries, but when the moment comes, we still need the courage to act. We need to move from knowing to doing.I also share why my sister has been a no mentor for me, especially when I need help making decisions around relationships and personal connections I want to preserve. Some decisions require wisdom, care, and a trusted voice that can help us see clearly.We talk about what kind of person makes a good no mentor. Someone whose values align with yours. Someone who has context for your life. Someone who understands the underbelly of your choice. Someone who respects you but is not so impressed by you that they cannot tell you the truth.This episode is especially for the introvert who feels overwhelmed by obligations, expectations, and opportunities that may be good but are not right for this season.Here's the question I want you to sit with:Do you have the time, space, and energy to pursue the life, dreams, and calling God has placed in your heart while still carrying all the things you've already said yes to?If the answer is no, I hope this episode gives you the courage to pause, reflect, and choose what truly matters.Learning how to say no is not about being selfish.It is about stewardship.It is about protecting your peace.It is about honoring your limits.And it is about making room for the life God is inviting you to live.Send me an email and tell me: do you have a no mentor in your life?Share this episode with a friend who struggles with saying no.Leave a review and let me know what stood out to you from this conversation.Support the showContact UsAsk a question or leave a comment, visit shepact.com/voicemailFollow me on Instagram at instagram.com/remiroyEmail us: thedrivenintrovert@shepact.comEnjoying the podcast?Share the podcast with a friend: shepact.com/TDIPodcastLeave a review: We'd appreciate it if you could WRITE a review for us.

What happens when your body finally says enough — even when you love your work, even when everything looks fine from the outside? Becky Higgins shares the moment an anxiety attack forced her to stop, let go, and make the biggest trade-off of her life. What she discovered on the other side — more confidence, more clarity, more alignment — is a reminder that rest isn't the opposite of personal growth and development. It might actually be the path to it. If you've been white-knuckling your way through your daily habits and responsibilities, wondering why you still don't feel happy, this one's for you.

Behavior Gap Radio: Exploring human behavior...with a Sharpie
In this episode, Carl explores the rare moments in life when an opportunity feels so deeply aligned that the question becomes, “How could I possibly say no to this?” Using the example of getting into a dream school like Juilliard, he reflects on regret minimization, the difference between making the “right” decision and making a decision right, and the mysterious way life sometimes rearranges itself after we commit to something meaningful. It's a thoughtful conversation about risk, dreams, uncertainty, and the courage to say yes.Want more from Carl? Get the shortest, most impactful weekly email on the web!

It's free!https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Description:Dj Hill explains that maintaining influence with people during busy or demanding seasons often comes down to visible priorities and clear communication. When leaders consistently demonstrate that they value their relationship with God and their family first, others may feel temporary disappointment but ultimately respect those boundaries. Hill emphasizes explaining the “why” behind decisions and, when possible, offering solutions—such as recommending another minister or suggesting an alternate time. By communicating clearly and protecting healthy rhythms, leaders return to ministry refreshed and able to give their best rather than serving from exhaustion.Purchase Christian Leader Sight Planner (a tool that has drastically changed Ryan's productivity): Black Cover – https://amzn.to/3JpBHvm Blue Cover – https://amzn.to/4ouFRB9 Green Cover – https://amzn.to/4oXVLUr Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us Fan Mail
Are you holding onto mattresses, kitchen supplies, or linens because your adult kids might need them someday? You're not alone—and you're not wrong for wanting to help. But what feels like wisdom or generosity might actually be one of the sneakiest forms of clutter. In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp and Grace Church tackle a question that resonates with so many listeners: How do you decide what to keep for your kids and what to let go? The Real Cost of "Just in Case" Storage Before you dedicate precious square footage to items your children haven't asked for, consider this: you might be making decisions based on a future that may never happen, for a person who hasn't requested anything. Grace shares her eye-opening experience of calculating 10 years of storage unit costs—and the painful realization of what that money could have done instead. A Simple Framework for Deciding Kathi offers a straightforward approach: "I have [blank]. Do you want it? And if so, when?" This simple conversation can save years of storing items that your kids may never want—or worse, items that deteriorate while waiting for their "someday" moment. When Donations Feel Impossible The episode also addresses a common frustration: what to do when thrift stores are overwhelmed and Facebook Marketplace isn't working. From Buy Nothing groups to foster care closets and community swaps, Kathi and Grace share creative alternatives for getting items out of your home and into hands that need them today. Key Takeaways Storage costs (even in your own home) often exceed replacement costs Stored items don't always store well—deterioration adds grief to clutter Your house is not a storage unit; your square footage has value If you can replace it for under $50 and it's taking up real space, let it go Have your favorite donation spots mapped out before you start decluttering It's okay to throw things away—they'll be thrown away eventually Whether you're storing things for adult children, struggling to find homes for donations, or simply need permission to let go, this episode delivers the practical wisdom and gentle encouragement you need to reclaim your space.

Dr. Brian Harris built five dental practices, filled his garage with a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, a GT3, and a G-Wagon, and still wasn't any happier than when he had one office. So he did what almost no one does: he sold the practices back to his associates, went back to one location, and doubled down on the craft he actually loves. In this episode, Peter, Craig, Ian, and Brian unpack the real story behind the highlight reel. Why ego drives expansion more than strategy. Why financial success doesn't automatically create fulfillment. Why younger dentists need to rev the RPMs before they chase lifestyle dentistry. And why the ability to walk away from something you built might be the most underrated skill in the profession. Brian also shares what he's learned from nearly a decade running his own mastermind, building Smile Virtual, and doing $400K a month in production as a solo cosmetic dentist. His core message to every dentist listening: connection before conversion. Stop trying to close people. Start organizing your practice and your life around what actually makes you excited to show up. DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 437 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden, Dr. Craig Spodak, and Ian de Jongh Special Guest: Dr. Brian Harris In this episode, Peter Boulden, Craig Spodak, and Ian de Jongh sit down with Dr. Brian Harris, cosmetic dentist, founder of Smile Virtual, and headliner at the 2026 Bulletproof Summit in Scottsdale.
