Podcasts about self control

Silence is one of the most misunderstood skills in leadership, communication, and life. Many people rush to fill quiet moments with explanations, reactions, or noise because silence forces awareness. It removes the ability to perform, defend, or control how others perceive us. This episode explores why silence feels so uncomfortable and why that discomfort is often a signal that something important is happening internally.The conversation breaks down how silence functions as a power move in high-pressure moments, not because it dominates a room, but because it regulates the nervous system. Troy shares how learning to pause instead of react creates clarity, steadiness, and intentional communication. The episode explores how silence can either trigger fear and old emotional patterns or become a stabilizing force, allowing you to respond with precision instead of impulse.Personal stories are woven throughout, including experiences with conflict, rejection, grief, and preparing for defining moments like public speaking and delivering a TEDx talk. These moments highlight how silence carries different emotional weight depending on context, and how the body often reacts to pressure as if every moment carries the same level of threat. The episode connects this to fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, and explains how silence can help interrupt those patterns before they escalate.The episode also explores how silence builds trust and presence in professional settings. Speaking less, pausing longer, and choosing restraint often signal confidence and credibility more than volume or speed. Listeners will hear how silence can shift power dynamics in business, leadership, and relationships, while also demanding emotional discipline, self-control, and a willingness to sit with discomfort.Ultimately, this episode is about mastering silence as a form of self-leadership. It is not about withholding communication or avoiding hard moments. It is about knowing when silence serves you, when it sharpens your message, and when it allows you to own a situation without forcing it. Silence works, but it comes with a cost, and this episode challenges listeners to decide whether they are willing to develop the discipline required to use it well.

The Inward Battle is a fight every believer knows all too well—the struggle between knowing what's right and still doing what's wrong.In this message from our Still Growing series, we look at the life of King Solomon—a man given supernatural wisdom by God, yet undone by inner conflict, unchecked desire, and small compromises. Through Ecclesiastes and 1 Kings, we uncover why knowledge alone isn't enough, how pleasure becomes a trap, and how the wrong relationships can slowly turn our hearts away from God.If you've ever felt frustrated with yourself…If you've ever wondered why growth feels harder the longer you follow Jesus…If you're tired of fighting the same battles on the inside…Authentic Church 2416 N Center St Hickory, NC 28601 (Beside Planet Fitness) GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

Pastor Caleb Cole closes the Rhythms series with “Disordered Desire (Physical Health),” a message about honoring God with our bodies.

Have you ever prayed for more self-control… and still felt stuck in the same cycle? Like no matter how hard you try, how disciplined you become, or how faithful you want to be, nothing really changes? Maybe you've told yourself, If I could just try harder… if I could be more disciplined… if I could be a better Christian… then this would finally click. But what if the problem isn't that you're lacking willpower at all? What if this struggle is actually an invitation from God into something deeper? Today on this Faith-Filled Friday episode, we're talking about the shift from willpower to wisdom. Because true, lasting self-control isn't something you white-knuckle your way into. It's not something you force. It's something that's produced within you as you learn to walk with God, listen to Him, and rely on His strength instead of your own. If you're exhausted from striving… If you're tired of feeling like you should be “doing better by now”… If you're craving real, Spirit-led freedom instead of constant effort—this episode is for you. I'm also excited to invite you to my upcoming workshop, Beyond Willpower, where we're going to go deeper into this conversation. We'll talk about why willpower was never meant to be your main tool—and what actually helps you overcome the struggle, find freedom, and move toward the results you've been praying for. If you want to join us, head over to our Facebook group, Lose Weight, Live Free, drop your email, and I'll make sure you're on the list to receive the workshop link coming up in February. And if you have questions or want to connect directly, you can always email me at taraJ@dietditching.com. I'd love to hear from you. Let's stop striving—and start walking in the freedom God already has for you.

What does it look like to set boundaries that help us live a life that truly pleases God?In today's episode, Gaby Alessi Calatayud guides us through the essential topic of self-control as part of our ongoing faith journey. Together, we'll explore why self-control is a vital fruit of the Spirit, how it protects us like strong city walls, and the practical ways we can lean on God's strength to respond with grace instead of anger or bitterness. Whether it's watching our words, holding back a message until tomorrow, or guarding our hearts from frustration, we'll discover small but powerful shifts that build a life transformed by Jesus.Let's come together to pray for wisdom and determination as we grow in self-control, inviting God to lead our hearts and our actions each new day.

If you've ever believed that eating better just comes down to more self-control, this episode offers a powerful reframe. In this conversation, we unpack why feeling out of control around food is rarely about willpower—and much more often a sign that your body, routine, or environment needs support. You'll learn how under-eating, restriction, stress, and unrealistic expectations can drive chaotic eating, and what actually helps people feel calmer, more confident, and more at ease around food—without dieting or relying on discipline.

The 5D Academy with Zarathustra explores universal wisdom to foster total freedom from suffering in all areas of your life; health, wealth, love, and self.Each Academy podcast contains valuable insights and takeaways to become the best version of yourself and create an authentic, fulfilling life. Zarathustra transmits 5th Dimensional Quantum frequencies in each episode with transformational tools while discussing different topics to help you maintain this new frequency in your daily life.Zarathustra has created a practical system of transmitting the truth to his audience allowing transformation and freedom from suffering. Spiritual development requires an open heart. It is virtually impossible for a seeker to advance to higher consciousness if they don't love themselves. The belief system which has been ingrained in our cellular memory from childhood that we are not good enough results in a conditioned mind. The conditioned mind holds the false belief that there is something missing in our lives, that we are incomplete, that we need to gain something in order to become happy and whole, which is not true. After a life time of searching, Zarathustra has blended a practical system of Eastern and Western methods and techniques to help the Academy members to free themselves from anxiety, negative thoughts, lack of self-love and self-acceptance and destructive emotional patterns through a systematic way to raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency, which enables you to live a vibrant life of freedom and happiness.The Key Elements To Freedom:Zarathustra recognizes continuity and consistency are the key elements to freedom. In order to help you achieve your spiritual goals, it's best to have a highly effective spiritual practice, free of dogmas, false beliefs and superstition that helps you raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency as well as the ability to maintain this newly found higher level of consciousness. This translates to a life filled with inner peace, self-love and happiness which is the goal of every spiritual seeker.New knowledge and benefits are gained with each replay.

In this enlightening episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt tackles the pervasive issue of instant gratification and its detrimental effects on personal growth and fulfillment. Drawing on her experiences with clients in recovery, Brianne highlights the struggle many face when it comes to sitting in discomfort and resisting the urge for immediate pleasure. She candidly shares her own journey with instant gratification, likening it to a toddler's relentless desire for instant rewards.Throughout the episode, Brianne delves into the neuroscience behind instant gratification, explaining how it drives impulsive behaviors and hinders long-term goals. She contrasts this with the concept of delayed gratification, emphasizing its importance in achieving greater self-control, improved decision-making, and ultimately, a more satisfying life. Listeners will learn practical strategies to combat impulsive tendencies, such as identifying triggers, setting clear goals, and creating personal reward systems.This episode serves as a powerful reminder that true growth often requires patience and the ability to endure discomfort. Join Brianne as she encourages you to lean into the uncomfortability and embrace the journey towards meaningful change, rather than succumbing to the allure of instant satisfaction.

Have you ever said to yourself, “I was doing so good… and then I just fell off track”? Have you ever looked at your eating habits and wondered, Why can't I just stick with it? Maybe you've promised yourself—again—that this time you'll have more self-control, more discipline, more willpower. But what if the reason you keep falling off track with healthy eating has nothing to do with self-control at all? What if the problem isn't that you're weak—but that you've never been given the right tools? Today, we're going to break down why healthy eating feels so hard, why willpower keeps failing you, and what actually leads to consistency, peace, and true freedom with food. I really hope you'll stick with me and begin to experience the food freedom you've been longing for. And I also want to invite you to something special. On February 10th, I'm hosting a free workshop called Beyond Willpower, and I would love for you to join us. The best way to get connected is inside our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free. Drop your email there so you can receive all the workshop details—everything will be sent out by email. If you're not on my email list yet, this is your invitation.

On a cold January day in South Carolina, Jamie and Matt Staub unpack why focus is one of the most underrated leadership skills—especially in healthcare, where everything can feel urgent. They break down how leaders decide what deserves attention, how to “push pause” on non-emergencies, and why coaching people through problems is often more effective than absorbing them. The conversation also explores decision fatigue, the difference between being busy and being focused, the role of habits (including insights from Atomic Habits), and how boundaries protect the work that actually moves the mission forward. Along the way, they normalize attention struggles, reframe “failure” as part of growth, and offer practical ways to stay aligned to goals without losing empathy or accessibility.

Consistency doesn't fail because of bad programming or weak discipline. It breaks down when stress, fear of failure, and identity-level beliefs override decision-making before habits ever have a chance to form.We dive deeper into this in the latest Broads episode with Kasey Jo Orvidas. We also chat about why identity drives exercise habits more than motivation, how stress shuts down self-control at the brain level, and why “I'm too busy” is usually a signal problem, not a time problem.Kasey Jo Orvidas, PhD, holds a doctorate in Psychology and is a certified health and fitness coach. She has published extensively in peer-reviewed scientific journals on mindset and health behavior change. She is also the creator of The Health Mindset Coaching Certification.What's Discussed:(06:04) Fitness identity and why seeing yourself as “not an exerciser” keeps you stuck(10:28) Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation and why wanting results isn't enough(18:12) The prefrontal cortex and how overload shuts down self-control(22:05) Why willpower fails under chronic stress and emotional fatigue(26:41) The real reason people ghost their coach and how shame kills consistency(31:54) Authority vs psychological safety in coaching relationships(36:48) Why “I'm too busy” is usually a signal problem, not a time problem(41:32) Reducing friction for habits that stick and increasing friction for the ones that don'tCheck out more from Broads:Website: www.broads.appInstagram: @broads.podcast @broads.appCheck out more from Tara LaFerrara:Instagram: @taralaferraraYoutube: @TaraLaferrara Check out more from Kasey Jo Orvidas, Ph.D.:Website: www.kaseyorvidas.comInstagram: @coachkaseyjoFacebook: @coachkaseyjo

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm calling out a problem no one wants to confront: the normalization of partying, drinking, and casual sex especially among so-called “conservative influencers.”You cannot claim to defend Western Civilization while publicly celebrating the very behaviors that destroyed past civilizations. Conservatism without morality is just aesthetic rebellion.We don't need more clout, cocktails, or compromised values. We need a return to godliness, self-discipline, and moral responsibility because the future generations watching us will inherit whatever standard we tolerate today.If we want to save the West, we have to get serious about being truly Christian again.--https://www.bible.com/

John Wooden viewed self-control as fundamental, emphasizing discipline, emotional mastery, and focusing on what you can control, rather than reacting to external events, to achieve success and maintain peak performance, famously stating, "Discipline yourself and others won't need to" and that losing it causes everything to "fall."

Dr. Vitz discusses self control.  Getting there involves self awareness and self responsibility. (Originally aired 12-06-2021)

In this episode, I'm breaking down my weekend in Dallas — starting with a crazy altercation that happened on the very first day of the year. It was unexpected, intense, and definitely tested my patience.I use that moment to talk about the importance of truly knowing yourself, staying in control, and not letting other people's chaos knock you out of alignment. Because growth isn't about avoiding conflict — it's about how you handle it.Despite the wild start, the trip was amazing overall. I had a great time, made memories, and stepped into the New Year feeling clear, confident, and grounded.— Don't forget to subscribe, like, and give me my 10s in the comments!X: @LNwithSylvester

If you feel like there's a gap between the person you are and the person you know you could be, this episode is for you.In this conversation with Karen Mattar, we explore what really keeps people stuck in the same patterns year after year and why motivation, willpower, and “trying harder” so often fail.This episode is about outgrowing a life that no longer fits, rebuilding confidence through self-respect, and becoming someone who actually follows through on the promises they make to themselves. Not through pressure or self-control, but through identity, leadership, and alignment.If you've ever thought “I know I'm meant for more” but struggled to close the gap between intention and action, this conversation will help you understand why, and what needs to change.This episode is for the person who:• Feels like they've outgrown their current life• They're tired of starting over every year• They struggle with consistency and follow-through• They want habits that last, not another motivation spike• They're ready to become the person they keep visualisingTrust this episode will find you when it's meant to!CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST

Eating disorders and disordered eating affect nearly all of us in some way—but the Bible helps us see that this struggle goes deeper than food, weight, or appearance. In this episode, Pastor Tony Wood and wife Bre talk openly and compassionately about eating disorders, gluttony, self-control, and why Scripture frames these struggles as issues of the heart and worship, not just behavior or body image. We acknowledge real medical realities while gently addressing the spiritual motivations behind how and why we eat.Chat with Bre on Instagram @datenightwiththewoods Follow Tony on Instagram @drtonygwood For videos, old episodes, blog posts, events, and more www.datenightfam.org

13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. 15 For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. 17 So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.Can you share a personal experience where you've felt a tension between your intentions and your actions?The sermon states that "Rules + Effort = Failure" when it comes to truly overcoming sin and living righteously. In what ways have you experienced the truth of this statement, perhaps in your own attempts to live a "good" or "holy" life?Bob talked about "Chapter 7 Christianity" as relying on our performance for our self-worth and relationship with God. How might the "upwardly mobile meritocracy ethos" (the belief that hard work and following rules lead to success) subtly influence how you approach your faith or view your spiritual struggles?Paul is adamant that in Jesus you are not a slave to sin, which means change is possible and real. How does this truth empower you or challenge your perspective on ongoing struggles or areas where you've felt stuck in a "Romans 7 world"?Bob said to find "windy places"—environments or practices that allow God's Spirit to work in us (e.g., prayer, worship, Christian community, accountability). What are some "windy places" in your life right now, or what steps can you take to create more opportunities for the Spirit to have His way in you?Bob said to "get quick on the draw" to cry out for rescue when experiencing Romans 7 struggles, to be quick to confess, repent, and move to worship and praise (Romans 7:24-25, Romans 8:1). What does this practical advice look like for you in your daily life? How can focusing on Jesus and praise help shift you from condemnation to freedom?

Zarathustra transmits 5th Dimensional Quantum frequencies in each episode with transformational tools while discussing different topics to help you maintain this new frequency in your daily life.Zarathustra has created a practical system of transmitting the truth to his audience allowing transformation and freedom from suffering. Spiritual development requires an open heart. It is virtually impossible for a seeker to advance to higher consciousness if they don't love themselves. The belief system which has been ingrained in our cellular memory from childhood that we are not good enough results in a conditioned mind. The conditioned mind holds the false belief that there is something missing in our lives, that we are incomplete, that we need to gain something in order to become happy and whole, which is not true. After a life time of searching, Zarathustra has blended a practical system of Eastern and Western methods and techniques to help the Academy members to free themselves from anxiety, negative thoughts, lack of self-love and self-acceptance and destructive emotional patterns through a systematic way to raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency, which enables you to live a vibrant life of freedom and happiness.The Key Elements To Freedom:Zarathustra recognizes continuity and consistency are the key elements to freedom. In order to help you achieve your spiritual goals, it's best to have a highly effective spiritual practice, free of dogmas, false beliefs and superstition that helps you raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency as well as the ability to maintain this newly found higher level of consciousness. This translates to a life filled with inner peace, self-love and happiness which is the goal of every spiritual seeker.New knowledge and benefits are gained with each replay.

Hey friends!For years I've been asked, "Why don't you put any of your content in video form or have it on Youtube?" And the truth is, because it always felt like "one more heavy thing" to add to my already long list as a woman of ONE in my business. But we don't grow by dragging our feet or resisting, so I decided what better time to add video that at the start of 2026. So if you're only hearing the audio, just know each week I will be doing my best to also release the video version on Youtube if that is more your style!Thanks for all your support over the years and KEEP SHARING THE PODCAST with friends!Support the showVisit macierenae.com to learn more about Macie & her work!Interested in working with her?

The Magi follow the light of a star to reach Bethlehem and worship Christ.  We too must be aware of the lights that God sends us to bring us closer to Jesus.  These lights vary in nature and appearance.  To be constant in following the light that is Christ, we also need to be aware of other lights that could lead us away from Him. To contact us, please write to comeawaybyyourselves@gmail.com.  Please rate and review Come Away by Yourselves wherever you listen to podcasts.

Whitlock goes in today on DK Metcalf and Sherrone Moore. DK is an idiot for punching a lions fan, and Ryan Clark and all the race baiters want to give him an excuse. They want new 'protocols' to protect the players. It's a joke. Whitlock then brings Sherrone Moore into the conversation. Sherrone is a DEI hire installed by Jim Harbaugh, and the Athletic just exposed him. This dude has no common sense. Despite the 49ers winning, Philip Rivers looked great last night. What's going on in the NFL? There's no way a dude should be able to come off the couch after 5 years and be effective in the NFL. Is this testament to Philip Rivers' greatness, or just how bad football has become?
