Episode 2736- Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss a healthy resolution while Anna cooks some low-carb stuffing and eggnog. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/12/a-healthy-resolution-episode-2736 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast A Healthy Resolution Anna is cooking in this episode, so if you want to watch the Queen of the Kitchen do her magic, please go to YouTube. (2:30) http://@FitnessConfidential Podcast Part of this episode is about resolutions; Vinnie's resolution to build a train set is underway, and he's confident it will be done before the end of December this year. Anna is cooking her low-carb stuffing, made with almond flour instead of dried bread. (7:30) You can find her Holiday Roundup of Recipes here. https://annavocino.com/nsng-low-carb-thanksgiving-round/ Vinnie has had back pain for years. (10:00) His back problems started after he began his career in ultra-cycling. (16:00) He used to go to a therapist for muscle release. This is not a paid endorsement, but he recommends "The Hook" by Aletha. It can reach into the tighter areas around your hip bones and release knots in muscles like the psoas and iliacus. Egg Nog recipe (30:30) It's a good idea to avoid heavy cream with additives. If you can, get straight heavy cream. Anna demonstrates the best way to make the eggnog from scratch. One of Vinnie's resolutions this year has to do with fixing his back so he can water ski again. He wants to be able to do the things he used to do when he was younger, such as skiing. He is inspired by an 80+ year old woman who is the oldest person to finish an Ironman. Anna agrees—the importance of mobility and strength as you age can't be emphasized enough. (42:00) Please find a way to include movement into your life and make it fun! Egg Nog special step—so pay attention (45:45) Placing Saran Wrap gently over the egg nog as it cooks will help prevent a "skin" from forming.

Highly sensitive persons—adults and children alike—care deeply about people, about nature, about the world. Host Elizabeth Cush and Judith Orloff, MD, talk about the extraordinary gift of empathy in this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast.“So many of us were shamed for being who we were and being highly sensitive or empathic and not given education about it.”  — Judith Orloff, M.D.What can a bunny teach us about empathy? A lot, it turns out, when the highly sensitive rabbit is modeled after a highly sensitive person who was called a crybaby, left alone by her brothers and sisters, and felt like she didn't belong in the world. That is, until she begins to make like-minded friends who taught her how to embrace her sensitivity and care deeply for others without being swallowed up by her caring. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and soul support for highly sensitive women, welcomes Judith Orloff, MD, a psychiatrist, an empath, and author of the children's book The Highly Sensitive Rabbit as well as The Genius of Empathy, The Empath's Survival Guide and other titles. They talk about finding your place and your people, achieving balance, celebrating the gifts of sensitivity, end encouraging empathy in the next generation.You can find the full show notes and resources for all the episodes here.Support the showI hope you enjoyed the show!

If you've ever struggled to keep up with your self-care, this podcast is for you. Explore how to make self-kindness simple, sustainable, and genuinely nourishing—one tiny step at a time.Start Small, Stay Kind: The Art of Gentle Self-CareLet's be honest: sometimes self-care sounds like another item on the ever-growing to-do list. But what if you let yourself off the hook? What if you started so small that it felt almost effortless? Imagine celebrating putting on your shoes—never mind running the marathon.That's the spirit I want you to bring to your self-care practice. It's not about grand gestures or perfect routines. It's about noticing the little things, and showing yourself a bit of kindness, even (especially!) when you're feeling stuck.Want some help?We've all been there—beyond exhausted. If you'd like help with an energetic reboot, book a session now through the Jane app or look through our courses and sessions to learn more about how we can help you reactivate your self-care routinesYour Life Runs on TracksThink about your everyday routines. You probably sleep on the same side of the bed, drink your coffee the same way, and set up your day with familiar little rituals. Our bodies and minds move in these well-worn tracks, and there's comfort in that. But what happens when there's friction—when the path isn't clear?Imagine if, every night, you had to move all your furniture just to get into bed. Suddenly, bedtime becomes a Herculean task. That's what it's like when you load up your self-care practice with obstacles, or tell yourself you have to “make up” for lost time by doubling your efforts. That's a recipe for shame and exhaustion, not healing.Celebrate the StartHere's a radical idea: reward yourself just for starting. Give yourself a metaphorical sticker for beginning your meditation, not for reaching some blissful state. Take the pressure off. The hardest part of any practice is showing up, so let that be your win.If you haven't worked out in a week, you don't need to punish yourself with an extra-long gym session. Just put on your sneakers. Just drive to the gym. Let that be enough. Friction is the enemy, so design your routines to be as downhill as possible. Pack your gym bag and leave it in the car. Create a meditation nook that's inviting, not cluttered.Remove the ResistanceIf your meditation cushion is buried under laundry, you're not going to use it. That's not a failure—it's just a sign to make your practice easier. Be curious, not judgmental. Didn't meditate today? Instead of beating yourself up, ask: “What tiny shift could help tomorrow?” Maybe you meditate lying down instead of sitting. Maybe you wait until the kids are asleep. Maybe your self-care looks like two mindful sips of tea, or doodling on a scrap of paper.Plug Yourself InWe all remember to charge our phones. What if you used plugging in your device as a cue to check in with yourself? What would recharge you right now? Is it a moment with your favourite crystal, a mindful walk, or a page of a beloved book? Layer these micro-moments throughout your day. Change your sheets. Light a candle. Sip something warm. Each act of care, no matter how small, builds a resilient safety net for when life gets messy.Weave Self-Care Into Everyday LifeDon't wait for perfect circumstances to practice self-care. Seize the in-between moments: a red light, a line at the store, five quiet minutes during naptime. Ground yourself when chaos erupts because then your calm helps those around you, too. Notice beauty in the ordinary: sunlight on the wall, birds outside your window, the changing moon. Let these be invitations to return to yourself.The Power Is in ReturningYou will fall away from your practice. That's not failure, that's life. The magic is in returning, gently, again and again. Every time you come back, you strengthen your resilience. Every slip reminds you what truly matters.So, start small. Remove the friction. Celebrate every return. Give yourself more grace than you think you need. You're doing more than you realize, and it all counts. Keep weaving those moments of care into your days—you've got this.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this powerful conversation, Dina sits down with Leslie Forde - author of Repair with Self-Care and founder of Mom's Hierarchy of Needs - for a truth-telling dialogue every woman leader needs to hear.Dina first heard Leslie speak in a packed room of women during her DC book tour stop, where you could feel the entire room exhale as Leslie named the invisible load so many of us have been carrying in silence. Today, they pick up that thread and dive even deeper.Together, they explore what happens when women stop performing resilience and start honoring their actual needs. Leslie breaks down why self-care is not indulgence, not a reward, and definitely not something you “earn” after you've handled everything else - but a leadership skill, a boundary, and a radical act of self-trust.You'll hear:Why energy management - not time management - is the real secret to sustainable leadershipHow the invisible load of motherhood shows up in boardrooms, Zoom rooms, and everywhere in betweenWhat shifts when women treat their needs as data instead of inconveniencesThe first realistic steps to repair yourself without stepping away from your career or burning your life downWhy self-care is strategic, political, and deeply personal for women leadersIf you've ever felt the weight of trying to hold it all together… this episode is your permission slip to put the load down and rebuild leadership from a place of wholeness, not depletion.This is a conversation about repair, recovery, and redefining what leadership looks like when women stop abandoning themselves. Don't miss it.

Learn why VO₂ max (and other watch metrics) don't tell the whole story — and what really improves running performance: better movement, cadence, heart-rate awareness, and consistent drill work. Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie cut through the gimmicks, explain why lab VO₂ testing ≠ instant speed, and give practical steps you can use on your next run to feel and perform better.✅ Key takeaways ✅ VO₂ max is largely genetic and often over-sold by gadgets — it's an estimate on your watch, not a magic fix. ✅ Movement and skill (cadence, elasticity, posture) create the biggest gains for most recreational runners. ✅ Use heart rate + feel together — let your body tell you when to ease up, reset, or hydrate. ✅ Short, focused drills (hops, cadence work, metronome intervals) build the elasticity that reduces impact and delays fatigue. ✅ Consistency beats one-off metrics: train movement, test nutrition, and practice pacing — don't chase numbers alone.▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot - Skill , Strength & Self-Care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membership https://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrong.

What truly breaks families, businesses, and generational wealth isn't market volatility or poor financial planning — it's unaddressed family dynamics. In this episode of Self Care with Geraldine Hardy, Geraldine is joined by Dominik v. Eynern, co-founder of Family Hippocampus, for a grounded, peer-to-peer conversation about the behavioral and emotional forces that quietly undermine trust, communication, and long-term legacy. Drawing on lived experience, systems theory, behavioral economics, and neuroscience, this discussion challenges traditional family governance models and exposes why silence, reactivity, and unresolved trauma create the highest risk inside family systems. This is not theory. It's insight from people who have lived it — and who now help families create psychological safety, resilience, and conscious leadership across generations. In this episode, we explore: Why up to 95% of generational wealth failures are driven by behavioral risk How broken communication and reactivity erode trust inside families The difference between empathy and compassion with boundaries Why money amplifies unresolved issues instead of solving them The role of self-awareness and nervous system regulation in family leadership How women and generational transition are reshaping family systems Guest: Dominik v. Eynern Organization: Family Hippocampus

Her story is a powerful reminder that tiny steps can unlock your midlife superpower. ✨ Episode HighlightsThis week on Reinvention Rebels, I'm celebrating the power of small steps, brave choices, and the unexpected sparks that set midlife reinvention in motion.At 48, Yvonne Marchese was feeling stuck, exhausted, and overwhelmed by the daily grind.

That tiny shift of getting up when the alarm rang became the first domino in a much bigger personal awakening.Today, at 56, Yvonne is an author, speaker, photographer, and host of the Late Bloomer Living podcast. She is also the creator of the Age Agitators Club and a passionate advocate for seeing midlife as a playground, not a decline. Her journey is a beautiful example of how purpose, playfulness, and self-trust can become a midlife superpower.In this candid and joyful conversation, Yvonne opens up about redefining aging, embracing imperfection, and giving herself permission to be a beginner — again and again.In this episode, you'll hear:How ditching the snooze button at 48 sparked Yvonne's reinventionThe moment she realized her ageist beliefs were holding her backWhy she believes aging can be playful, creative, and liberatingThe importance of asking for help, community, and doing it imperfectlyHow curiosity, consistency, and baby steps became her midlife momentumConnect with Yvonne Marchese:Website: https://www.latebloomerliving.com/Instagram: @latebloomerliving

I'm taking a moment to reflect on this year, the wins, the challenges, and all the growth in between, and I want you to do the same. Whether it's writing down your top 3 wins, leaning into lessons from setbacks, or thinking about what you want to manifest in 2026, this is the time to pause, celebrate, and set intentions. Don't let year-end pressure stress you out; instead, focus on finishing strong, letting go of what no longer serves you, and stepping into the new year with clarity, gratitude, and confidence.

Self-care has become such a buzzword in recent years, it's tough to look at the concept beyond drinking enough water and going for a walk. But in the last year, it's become even more important for higher ed employees, who've seen their industry get really complicated: With the dismantling of the DOE and the canceling of billions in funding for research and key programs that support students, colleges are left vulnerable. Dr. Lindsey Nemcek, public relations manager at the College of Lake County in Illinois, regularly presents at NCMPR conferences about mental health, happiness and self-care. She shares real ways higher ed marcom and PR employees can take care of themselves. She gets a little honest and vulnerable with episode host, Beth Jendro Noël, NCMPR's director-at-large (DEI) and the director of communications & creative services at Middlesex Community College in Massachusetts.

Most golfers and entrepreneurs obsess over mistakes. You replay the double bogey, the blown meeting, the missed opportunity—yet rarely study what went right. Today's guest is one of the world's leading performance coaches, Justin Su'a, and he's here to flip that script. Justin has coached Super Bowl champions, All-Stars, World Series teams, and top CEOs. His gift? Helping high performers create the mental systems that turn pressure into clarity and success into repeatable patterns. In this episode, you'll learn how elite athletes review wins and losses, build emotional resiliency, upgrade their self-talk, and protect their relationships while chasing greatness. If you're serious about leveling up your mental game—on the course or in business—this is your masterclass. In this episode, you'll learn: Why only studying your failures keeps you from unlocking your full potential. Justin's simple three-question reflection framework that works for golfers, athletes, and executives. How to create a repeatable after-round / after-action review that fits your personality. The difference between leading and lagging indicators—and why that matters more than your score or revenue this week. How to think in second- and third-order consequences so your pursuit of greatness doesn't quietly destroy your health or relationships. A practical way to see negative thoughts as "mental rumble strips" instead of proof you lack confidence. How elite performers bounce back faster by reducing the frequency, intensity, and duration of their emotional blowups. This episode will challenge how you think about success, failure, self-talk, and the price you're willing to pay in your pursuit of excellence—on the course and in business. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here.

Use a simple reflection loop — ask: What went well? What did I learn? What will I do better next time? Make reflection easy — choose the journaling format with the least friction so you'll actually do it. Think in systems — pursuing greatness without considering second- and third-order effects creates avoidable problems. Focus on leading indicators — control your routines, effort, and communication; results follow later. Upgrade your questions — better questions lead to better self-talk, better focus, and better performance. Resilience = reduced F.I.D. — decrease the frequency, intensity, and duration of your emotional blowups, not eliminate them. Key Quotes: We don't just learn from losing—we also learn from winning. Success leaves clues if you're willing to go back and study it. Create a feedback loop: What did I do well? What did I learn? What's one thing I'll do better next time? Ask it every time, win or lose. The weakest pen is stronger than the strongest memory. You're always writing for your future self. Your pursuit of excellence has second- and third-order effects. If you don't think in systems, you'll chase greatness while unintentionally burning down your health or relationships. If you want better answers, ask better questions. Your brain is like a search engine—it will fill in whatever prompt you give it. Negative thoughts are mental rumble strips. They're not proof you lack confidence—they're signals you're losing focus, so gently guide yourself back into the lane. Progress isn't never hitting the red; it's hitting it less often, less intensely, and for less time—and then learning from every episode.

Holiday mode has hit early for Gwen and Kate, who bounce between life's tiny joys (like micro-meditation while the kettle boils) and the big stuff — like why Christmas now turns up every three weeks once you've had 50 of them. They ponder whether Secret Santa could save family gifting, if 47 is too old to start long-boarding (it isn't), and how couples with different bedtimes ever make it work. They even wonder if they can be better humans than just “women who talk about Netflix.”What hobby have you taken up later in life?We reference our recent episode on Mindset:  Ep.69 - Mindset: How changing the way we think can rewire our brains and change our lives for the better | Karen AllenFind out more!

Victoria sits down for the kind of life update you'd give your best friend when everything feels like… a lot. She opens up about the burnout she's been pushing through, a major (and expensive) business mistake, team changes, and what it's been like to juggle a nonprofit, a podcast, and a full creator career without losing herself in the process. She talks about the fear of stepping back, the pressure to constantly show up online, and the nagging feeling that something in her life needs to shift. Vic also shares the mindset breakthroughs she had at a recent Peter Crone event, why she's craving more freedom and adventure, and how she's trying to slow down enough to hear her own voice again. If you've ever felt stretched thin, stuck in a season of “figuring it out,” or unsure how to reset, this episode will feel like a deep breath. Tune in for a candid, comforting catch-up that just might make you feel understood.Related episode:My Live Therapy Session with Gabby Bernstein!// SPONSORS //Quince: Go to quince.com/realpod to get free.

In this episode, we're continuing our holiday self-care series with one essential truth: real peace begins when we're honest about what we can actually handle. The holidays tend to pull us back into old roles and emotional patterns, leaving us overwhelmed, overextended, and disconnected from ourselves before we even realize it. Today, we explore why this happens, how to recognize the subtle moments of self-abandonment, and what it looks like to care for yourself from a place of truth instead of pressure or performance.   Three Takeaways 1. You'll learn the surprising reason holiday stress often has less to do with events and more to do with old emotional patterns we slip into without noticing. 2. We'll talk about how to identify the quiet, subtle moments where you start abandoning yourself… and what a small shift toward honesty can do for your peace. 3. You'll walk away with simple, practical questions that help you stay grounded, connected, and true to yourself no matter what the season brings.   You can't set a healthy boundary  if you aren't willing to  tell yourself the truth first.     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this episode, Allison Carey, VP of Marketing at Raw Sugar Living, talks about the brand's mission to provide better-for-you hair and body products at an affordable price, while also lifting spirits through positive messages, images, and experiences. She touches on the Gen Z consumer's desire for authenticity, education, and values-alignment in the brands they support, and how the brand appeals to that generation through their raw voice and integrity. Allison sheds insights into their product development guardrails, and the importance of creating products that are safe for sensitive skin, kids, and even fur kids (dogs). We discuss the brand's commitment to us 100% post consumer recycled (PCR) content in their bottles by 2030, their give back program that has donated over 20 million bars of soap and other clean essentials to families in need, and what the future looks like for Raw Sugar Living. We wrap up by hearing Allison's personal vision for a better world.Takeaways:The Clean Beauty Movement is a significant trend.Gen Z prefers authenticity, education, and values alignment over big splashy campaigns.Raw Sugar Living is dedicated to making clean beauty accessible and affordable. The brand avoids harmful ingredients and prioritizes safe formulations. Fragrance is carefully selected to enhance the consumer experience without compromising safety. Consumer insights drive innovation, particularly in catering to younger generations.Understanding consumer preferences is essential for marketing.Consistency in messaging is crucial for brand loyalty.Brands need to adapt to changing consumer expectations.Authenticity can differentiate brands in a crowded market.Sound bites:“Gen Z really is not as interested in the big splashy campaigns and trends. They want more authenticity, more education, and they want brands that live into those values.”“We don't just say Clean For All because we're an affordable brand. It also means that we have something for your whole family.”“We formulate without phthalates, without silicones, and we also have a very strict policy on fragrance. So you can be rest assured that everything you're putting on your skin, not only is it safe and better for you, but it's also effective.”“The post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic initiative was one that was started from the brand's inception.”“We believe it's like a full immersive 360 experience. So it's good for you, it smells good, and you walk out of the shower feeling better.”“We put sugar notes on the back of everything and it's always like a positive uplifting message.”“We also have something for your fur kids too, because we have a line called Fur Kids and that is for your dogs.”“A better world, to me, is definitely one where we all strive to make each other feel grateful and happier for what we have and how we use it.”Links:Allison Carey on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/allison-carey-23942849/Raw Sugar Living - https://rawsugarliving.com/Raw Sugar Living on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/raw-sugar-living/Raw Sugar Living on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/rawsugarliving/Raw Sugar Living on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rawsugarliving/Raw Sugar Living on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@rawsugarliving_…Joyful (Book) by Ingrid Fetell Lee - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43300050…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Schön, dass du da bist – heute öffnet sich ein Türchen aus der Rubrik „Ein Moment für dich“. Dieser kurze Impuls schenkt dir liebevolle Selfcare: einen Gedanken, eine kurze Geschichte oder eine kleine Weisheit, die dich daran erinnert, dich selbst nicht zu verlieren – gerade in der Adventszeit, in der alle so viel von dir wollen. Du darfst milder mit dir zu sein, freundlicher, weicher. Am Ende wartet ein Tages Mantra auf dich, das dich durch deinen Tag begleiten kann – als kleine Erinnerung: Du bist wichtig. Deine Bedürfnisse gehören auch auf die Liste.Ein kleiner Moment nur für dich – damit dein Herz im Dezember nicht nur gibt, sondern auch bekommt.

If you've ever felt stretched too thin, this episode is for you. In Part 1 of my series, 12 Things I've Learned About Homeschool Moms, I share the first six insights I've gathered over my years as a homeschool mom, coach, and guide for women just like you. These self-care tips for overwhelmed homeschool moms aren't rules or prescriptions—they're real-life reflections from someone who's walked this path, experienced the overwhelm, and learned how to reclaim herself without abandoning her homeschool dreams. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms What You'll Learn: Self-Care Tips for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Every homeschool mom faces invisible challenges, even when things look “perfect” from the outside. In this episode, I dive into the first six things I've learned about the homeschool mom experience: You feel like you never get a moment to yourself – The constant “on” mode can leave you disconnected from your own body and needs. No one sees everything you do – From teaching to caregiving to emotional labor, the invisible load is real. You say yes because it feels easier than dealing with disappointment – Learning to say no is a radical act of self-care. You're emotionally depleted – The overwhelm is rarely about homeschooling itself—it's about carrying too much without space to reset. You feel guilty resting – Rest isn't optional; it's essential for your health, your energy, and your presence in your family. You don't even know who you are anymore outside motherhood – Reconnecting with yourself is foundational to leading a confident, aligned homeschool life. Every one of these six things isn't a sign that you're doing homeschooling wrong—they're signs that you're human and have been carrying more than anyone was meant to carry alone. Why These Self-Care Tips for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Matter If any part of this episode made you exhale or think, “oh… that's me,” consider this your gentle invitation to start tending to yourself with the same care you offer everyone else in your home. Emotional overfunctioning and people-pleasing can follow you into homeschooling, and slowly, you lose not just your energy, but your sense of self. Reclaiming yourself isn't selfish—it's foundational. Your kids feel safest when you feel safe. Join the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge This is exactly why I created the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge. It's not another checklist or performance-based challenge. Instead, it's twelve small, doable shifts designed to help you come back to yourself with compassion, not pressure. Daily Letters – Thoughtful reflections to help you see your needs clearly. Gentle Reflection Prompts – Uncover the stories you've been carrying. Tiny, Doable Practices – Small actions to create real emotional space. As one mom said: “Your work has ripple effects because you're nurturing the nurturers.” You deserve that same nurture too. Click here to join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge and start making your own 1% shifts away from overwhelm and toward a homeschool life that feels good from the inside out. What's Next for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Next week, we'll continue with Part 2 of this series, where I share six more things I've learned about homeschool moms. They go even deeper, and I think you'll feel just as held, understood, and equipped to make your homeschool life feel lighter and more aligned. Until then, take one moment today just for you—not because it's earned, but because you need it and you deserve it. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms To the Woman Reading This… If any part of this resonates — if you recognize your own patterns of over-functioning, self-forgetting, or carrying too much — please know you don't have to walk this alone. Maybe safety felt conditional, or you learned to earn love by meeting everyone else's needs.Or maybe you're carrying grief or stories that were never yours to carry. I've walked this path too — from losing myself to returning to myself. If you're ready to step into who you truly are, I'd be honoured to walk beside you. ➤ Learn more about coaching with Teresa here.

Dr Gina Cleo joins me for a powerful conversation about the tiny habits that help you steady yourself after separation especially when identity, routine and confidence feel completely shaken. Gina shares openly about her three divorces and the very human process of rebuilding from the inside out. We explore how separation disrupts the "micro-moments" of your day, why habits shape identity, and the difference between having a habit problem versus simply having no capacity left. We also talk about: Small actions that rebuild confidence and clarity Breaking patterns like people-pleasing and overexplaining Co-parenting systems that create emotional safety Why motivation can't be relied on during grief or overwhelm The one habit she recommends for anyone drowning in stress This episode is gentle, practical and full of hope. If you're trying to find your feet again, start here — with habits that heal.

Dr. Adam Dorsay, psychologist and host of the SuperPsyched podcast, interviews Dr. Sharon Chang, a distinguished surgical oncologist educated at Harvard Medical School.

Many people today describe a pattern they cannot explain. Life feels manageable until something unexpected happens at work or home, then the body suddenly shuts down. The mind spins, energy collapses, irritability rises, and the only thing that feels safe is withdrawing into the couch, the phone, or Netflix. This is not laziness or burnout. This is functional freeze. In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with environmental and root cause medicine expert Dr. Jessica Peatross (Dr. Jess) to reveal why so many people experience chronic fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, histamine reactions, food sensitivities and unexplained inflammation even when routine labs look normal.Instead of chasing symptoms or isolated toxins, Dr. Jess explains how a dysregulated nervous system alters detox, hormones, digestion, immunity and gene expression. She breaks down how trauma, mold exposure, hidden infections, parasites and environmental chemicals overload the body when the vagus nerve is stuck in fight, flight or freeze. And she shows why healing is impossible when the body does not feel safe.From childhood trauma and dorsal vagal shutdown to blocked drainage pathways, cytokine storms, reactivated viruses and misdiagnosed environmental illness, this episode reframes chronic symptoms through a lens of nervous system physiology, not personal weakness or aging.You will learn what functional freeze looks like, why detox often makes people worse, how to identify nervous system dysregulation, and the steps Dr. Jess uses to help patients regulate, open pathways and finally begin to heal. Together, Dr. Taz and Dr. Jess outline a clear, compassionate roadmap for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed or stuck in a body that will not calm down.Dr. Taz and Dr. Jess discuss: • What functional freeze is and why it shows up in daily life • How nervous system dysregulation drives fatigue, anxiety and chronic symptoms • The role of mold, parasites, toxins and environmental chemicals in chronic illness • Why detox fails when the body does not feel safe • Vagus nerve physiology and dorsal vs ventral vagal states • How trauma, stress and grief reshape hormones, immune function and methylation • Medical dismissal and the reality of normal labs with real symptoms • The drainage pathways that must open before detox • Histamine issues, MCAS, POTS and their connection to the nervous system • Tools that help regulate the system and support healing • How to track progress through sleep, HRV, emotional stability and digestion • Why healing is not linear and why support and community matterAbout Dr. Jessica Peatross Dr. Jessica Peatross  is a functional and environmental medicine expert known for her work on nervous system dysregulation, toxin-driven illness and trauma informed detox. She is the founder of WellnessPlus, an educational platform teaching step-by-step protocols for mold, parasites, drainage and nervous system healing. Her approach blends clinical training with nervous system science to uncover root causes often missed in conventional care.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. JessInstagram: https://instagram.com/dr.jess.md/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@DoctorJessMDWebsiet: https://drjessmd.com/  Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

In this episode, Christina shows up at the end of a long day—post-walk, unfiltered, and debating whether she should even hit “upload.” But the story behind why she almost didn't post this one is worth the listen.She also pulls back the curtain on a behind-the-scenes disaster that nearly pushed her over the edge this week. Let's just say it involves a 35-minute recording, a message from her assistant, and a very real “I might cry” moment. Christina doesn't reveal every detail here… but when you hear it, you'll feel it.From there, she shares how her best podcast ideas actually come together—and why next year's episodes are about to look very different. Think: founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and some surprising conversations she can't wait to bring back. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn!

Episode 2732 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer welcome two callers to discuss gaming the system and the benefits of correctly measuring body composition. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/12/gaming-the-system-episode-2732 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Gaming the System The first caller is Lee.

(15:00) He uses several protocols in addition to NSNG®; however, Vinnie has some questions and suggestions for Lee. (21:00) He has lost and gained significant weight several times, and it's affecting his health. Vinnie is trying to get Lee to stumble less. Lee needs to stop trying to game the system. Lee also started lifting to strengthen his knees. He realized his sore knees were probably less about arthritis and more about lack of strength. Shelly joins the call. (46:00) She gives Vinnie an update on her health metrics. A DEXA scan is the best way to detect body composition (bone density, muscle growth, and body fat percentage).
