Controlled falling, cadence, and the mental roadblocks that stop runners — Coaches Caroline & Valerie explain how to train the fall, recover from fear-driven movement mistakes, and use simple drills to run lighter and pain-free.✅ Key takeaways ✅ Controlled falling (not leaning) reduces impact and improves cadence. ✅ Start with drills (wall, bands, short hops) and build balance before chasing 180+ cadence. ✅ If fear appears — stop, reset, practice balance — don't reach with the front foot. ✅ Transfer drills to running gradually and seek live feedback for faster, safer progress.▶️ 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

Dating someone with covert narcissistic traits rarely feels abusive at first. In fact, it often feels intoxicating—intense attention, deep emotional connection, and a sense of being chosen in a way you may never have experienced before. This episode explores why that intensity feels so powerful—and why it so often turns confusing, controlling, and unsafe. In this deeply honest conversation, Jacquie Roar shares her personal story of navigating covert narcissism in a dating relationship. She talks openly about love bombing, emotional manipulation, isolation, and how her sense of self slowly eroded long before she had words for what was happening. Like many survivors, she believed the problem was something she could fix—if only she tried harder, loved better, or showed more understanding. Together, we explore how covert narcissistic abuse impacts the nervous system, why leaving can feel harder than staying, and why the aftermath often includes depression, grief, and intense self-doubt rather than immediate relief. Jacquie also speaks about the moment that changed everything—when survival became more important than hope—and how healing required learning to accept healthy love after chaos. This episode is for anyone who has ever questioned themselves after a relationship ended and wondered: Why did it feel so good at first? Why did I get smaller over time? Why did peace feel unfamiliar after I left? You are not weak. You were responding to a dynamic designed to confuse, bond, and control. This conversation offers clarity, validation, and hope—without pressure, judgment, or diagnosis.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Ever feel your team is waiting on you for every decision while your vision work gathers dust? We sat down with Shirley Williani, founder and CEO of A la Carte Solutions, to unpack the precise tools and hiring moves that remove a CEO from the approval queue and put momentum back into the business. Shirley shares how a sabbatical sparked hard feedback from her team, the wake-up moment that she was the bottleneck, and the simple decision matrix that reshaped accountability overnight.We dig into the matrix itself—two axes, consequence and reversibility—and how to sort choices into “decide,” “decide and inform,” and “consult the CEO.” You'll hear real examples, from client discounts to system changes, and how those rules gave managers confidence while freeing Shirley to focus on vision, culture, sales, and marketing. The conversation also reaches upstream to the talent pipeline: why “lifestyle change” candidates often lack urgency, how to spot motivated applicants with probing, story-rich questions, and what a rigorous nine-step recruiting process can do for retention and performance.Shirley also traces her journey from KPMG and a CFO seat to launching a fractional accounting model when a client wanted a unicorn hire. That structural insight—match roles to actual skills—echoes through her leadership playbook. We close with candid talk about habits, comparison traps, and the mental shift from inner critic to inner champion, including a daily practice that strengthens self-trust. If you're ready to scale decision-making, lower unwanted churn, and lead with a clearer mind, this conversation offers practical frameworks you can implement today.Enjoyed the episode?

We talk about why most organizing attempts fail, how identity plays a huge role in clutter, and why 15 minutes might be the only habit you actually need to get started.This episode is all about simple baseline habits—no perfection, no weekend-long purges, and no buying a bunch of containers. Just practical, realistic systems that work for busy women.In this episode, we cover:Why identifying as “disorganized” keeps you stuck (and what to think instead)How to use the 15-minute rule to make organizing doableWhy sorting first reduces decision fatigueHow to avoid creating a bigger mess while declutteringThe power of assigning “homes” (and getting your family on board)Smart questions to ask so clutter stops coming back inHow organizing your space can also help organize your thoughtsIf you've ever said, “I'll get organized when I have more time,” this episode is your permission slip to start small—and actually follow through.

Chloë Crampton was told she was "too young for cancer." She wasn't. Diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at 32 with no family history, Chloë had to fight to be taken seriously. She refused the standard chemo protocol, kept her hair through cold capping, and threw herself into food as medicine. In this conversation, she shares how green juicing, anti- inflammatory eating, and clean swaps helped her heal, and why young women need to advocate for their health when doctors won't listen

We've all heard the phrase “Put your own oxygen mask on first.” While that might seem counterintuitive, this important safety instruction is a powerful metaphor for self-care: You must secure your own well-being before you can effectively help others.

We discuss how we can recognize our body's signals for help, and tips for finding relief and support so we can be our best selves for the people we love.

Self-care is everywhere — but is what culture calls “self-care” actually what God intended?In this episode of The Yellow Podcast, EK sits down with Badia Weeks for an honest and grounding conversation on biblical self-care.Together, they unpack how self-care has been rebranded by culture as luxury, escape, and constant maintenance — and how God's version of self-care is rooted in stewardship, rest, surrender, and sustainability.

The New Moon in Capricorn is helping you set some intentions for how to you want to show up in the world right now. With all the chaos it's important to lock in on how you want to take care of yourself so you can continue to show up for yourself, your family, your community. Right now the planets are clustered together moving like cars on a train from late Capricorn to early Aquarius. They're making the same transits to the same outer planets. This energetic bottleneck is forcing us to focus on just 1-2 things. It's a powerful way to "dictate your fate," as the choices and changes you make today will likely have long standing impact. Fortunately, the shift from Capricorn to Aquarius helps us take in the big picture view. Capricorn likes to build and maintain the structures and norms. Aquarius likes to ask if those structures are necessary and how can they be improved? In a way this moment in a microcosm of the 20 year cycle that began in 2020 when Jupiter met Saturn at 0° Aquarius. The most notable of the transits this week are the conjunctions with Pluto. As Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and Mars join with the planet of power and transformation our survival instincts will be kicked up. How do you respond when it really matters? How do you engage when things are uncertain or even frightening? It might seem easier to just be passive and hope this moment will be over soon, but we're not living through ordinary times. It's easier to lock into the support systems you know you will need now, then to try to create them once Saturn and Neptune enter Aries. We're not getting off this ride until 2028, so what do you need to put in place now to be safe, secure, and capable of showing up in the way that you are meant to show up in the world.

(2:30) Get Vinnie's e-book because it's a good reminder of getting back on track if you went off the rails during the holidays, or, of course, if you are new to NSNG®. (6:00) You can purchase the NSNG® E-book for a small fee at https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ What meats can you eat? What are the possibilities? (12:30) It's not required that you eat grass-fed or organic meats—eat what you can afford. Many times, you can find a local small farmer and buy a portion of beef or pork at a discount. What about processed meats like bacon, salami, and cold cuts? (18:00) How bacon is cured makes a difference. (19:00) Cold cuts can be acceptable on occasion, but they often have additives. Eggs are a fantastic food—completely nutrient-dense! (26:00) Good, real, whole milk cheeses, kefir, and full-fat Greek yogurt are all great choices. Don't be afraid of real heavy cream. Try to find one without any additives, if possible. Vinnie emphasizes that you can't eat *anything* with impunity, meaning you can't go rogue and overeat, even if you're eating healthy options. (20:00) Moving on to vegetables and fruits. (32:30) Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are your best bet. Onions and peppers are great, too. Enjoy savory fruits like avocado, tomatoes, and olives, but they also discuss citrus, berries, and eating fruit in season. (35:00) Nuts: High-fat nuts like pili and macadamia are the best; however, you can enjoy some others, but be careful—it doesn't take many to overdo them. (46:00) If you are trying to be vegan on NSNG, beans are a better source of nutrients than grains. If you are a vegetarian, eating eggs, cheese, and nuts is recommended to boost your protein intake. The Sweet Stuff They chat about "sweet treats." (53:00) Reducing your intake of sweet treats will change your taste buds for the better. Anna explains the intention behind including sweet treats in her cookbooks. They are meant to be just that—a treat for an occasion! Stay away from "grain-free" chips! They are made from ingredients like cassava and other root flours, which are very high in carbs.

Text your thoughts and questions!Many of us struggle with the guilt of taking time for ourselves, often viewing self-care as a luxury we can only afford once everything else is done. But here's the truth: when we neglect ourselves, we welcome exhaustion, resentment, and burnout. This week, on episode 297 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I am continuing my special series guiding you through my Positively Productive Toolkit, with the key to self-care: the Joy List. In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I'm diving into my Joy List, reframing self-care not as an indulgence, but as essential maintenance for your mind and body, helping you map your way back to yourself through the science of positive emotions and the art of “compassionate productivity.”Key takeaways:Self-Care as Energy Maintenance: Why joy is a biological necessity to expand your mental lens, foster creativity, and help you recover from stress faster.The Science of Nervous System Regulation: How small "glimmers" of joy act as cues to shift you out of "fight or flight" and into a state where you can solve problems with clarity.The Overlap of Values and Joy: Whether you value connection, beauty, or freedom, identifying specific joyful activities makes your values tangible and actionable.The Sliding-Scale Approach: Three levels of joy so you can practice self-care, no matter how busy you are.Your joy is not a frivolous "extra", it's the fuel that keeps you whole. This week, start by identifying three quick ways you can sprinkle joy into your day. Whether it's listening to a favorite song or taking three deep breaths outside, notice how your energy shifts when you choose yourself.Haven't downloaded your Positively Productive Toolkit yet?

Episode 2750 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer help start your fitness plan with the benefits of cardio vs. strength training and where you should begin. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/01/cardio-vs-strength-training-episode-2750 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 Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase! Choose from a 2-day, 4-day, or 6-day workout–or buy all three at a discount! TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK workout videos Cardio vs. Strength Training Where does a beginner start? (5:00) Just start with what you know you can do. If you are sedentary, start with a short walk and gradually increase it each time. Your aerobic vs anaerobic capacity is different things. (9:00) Vinnie gives a list of the variety of things that qualify as each. There are different benefits to cardio and strength training. (17:00) What is recommended? Picking one focus and sticking to it (for example, cardio), or finding a balance between cardio *and* strength training to start? (22:00) Vinnie shares his brother Mark's journey. (23:00) Sometimes, you really do have to start with "baby steps" and grow into the routine. Vinnie likes to consider Zone 2 (70-80% of your cardiac capacity) as cardio; however, if someone is starting, any walk will help them get started. (36:00) In strength training, it can be intoxicating to feel yourself get stronger. (39:00) You will feel the strength before you start seeing visible gains. (43:00) The Zones Vinnie describes the Five Zones; however, you only need to pay attention to four of them. (47:30) The calculation to find Zone 2 (with the Maffetone method) is: 180 - (your age) = desired heart rate, or beats per minute. If you are already active, you can add about five more points to the desired heart rate. Before starting any exercise program, it is highly recommended that you see your doctor first and have a stress test. If you are eating correctly, such as with NSNG®, exercise will help build lean muscle mass. (59:00) More is not always better; sometimes, more recovery is better. (1:01:00) Vinnie recommends 4 or 5 hours a week for cardio, unless you are training for a marathon or similar competition.

The world never shies away from pushing us toward a self-centered way of thinking.

(3:30) Protein levels are better, but recommendations for fat macros are still off. Institutions will follow the written guidelines, which are not necessarily reflected in the upside-down pyramid graphic. Institutions, like schools, have contracts with Big Food companies, which will affect how closely they follow the guidelines. (12:15) Chris goes through some of the guidelines. (15:30) The fat intake recommendations are off, in Vinnie's experience. (24:00) Saturated fat is limited to 10% of all fats. (30:00) Vinnie believes these guidelines are good overall, but didn't go far enough. (33:00) Institutions, companies, congresspeople, and others would most likely push back on a larger sweeping change. Whole grains, packaged breakfast options, and processed foods are at the bottom of the upside-down pyramid, and rightly so. (41:30) Limiting ultra-processed foods and refined carbs is recommended. (46:00) No meal should contain more than 10g of added sugars. It even defines what "added sugars" are. The last point discusses sodium and electrolytes.
