Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.

Delayed gratification is often touted as one of the secrets to a fulfilling life. The famous marshmallow experiment concluded that children who were able to delay the reward of a marshmallow for a larger reward of more marshmallows had better outcomes later in life.But is this really the case?

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Krista Moreland, one of our incredible functional health coaches here at Vital Spark, to share her story, her breaking point, and the moment that changed everything. Krista joined our team in early 2025 with over a decade of coaching experience, but her journey goes far deeper than credentials. Before motherhood, she was a two-sport college athlete whose identity was built on discipline, performance, and mental toughness. Then she became a mom, and everything she thought she knew about herself began to shift.Krista opens up about navigating early motherhood while caring for a medically complex baby, including her son's heart surgery at just four months old. She shares the shame, fear, and invisible stress she carried, and how food became her unexpected escape during that season. As a former athlete who had never used food emotionally, this struggle left her feeling confused and lost inside her own body. We talk about the identity shock no one prepares women for, especially high-achieving moms who are used to holding it all together.Krista takes us into the quiet breaking point that happened in her bathtub, where she realized no one was coming to rescue her. That moment wasn't about weight loss, but about choosing herself again. We explore how healing her relationship with food and her body changed the way she showed up as a mom, partner, and woman. This conversation is for any woman who feels like she used to know who she was and is ready to find her way back. Time Stamps: (3:08) Before Motherhood and College Days (6:54) Identity Shift to Motherhood (18:32) Leadership In The Home (23:22) Managing The Mind and Emotions (33:02) Where Coach Krista Is In Her Journey Right Now (37:10) You Are Not Broken (40:02) Where To Find Coach Krista---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

It was never about the dishes… It's about mental load, invisible labor, and power inside modern marriage. To dig into why so many women feel this strain inside their marriages, Susan Guthrie is joined by Kate Anthony, a globally recognized divorce coach, feminist thought leader, and the author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage. Kate is also the creator and host of the top-ranked Divorce Survival Guide Podcast. Together, Susan and Kate talk candidly about how deeply ingrained expectations still shape modern relationships, often in ways people don't recognize until the damage is done. They explore why patriarchy harms women while also isolating men, what real partnership actually looks like in practice, and how patterns like deflection, denial, and  quietly erode trust over time. The conversation also addresses the very real impact these dynamics have on women's emotional and physical safety, and why naming them clearly can be a powerful first step toward change. What You'll Learn How mental load becomes a proxy for deeper issues of power, responsibility, and respect How patriarchy shapes modern marriage in ways that harm women while also isolating men and fueling resentment What real partnership looks like in practice and why occasional help is not the same as shared ownership What it often means when one partner says they were “blindsided” by divorce and how invisible labor plays a role Why naming these dynamics clearly can be a critical first step toward safety, clarity, and meaningful change About the Guest Kate Anthony is a feminist thought leader, divorce coach, and author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage. As the host of The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast (3.5M+ downloads; globally ranked in the top 0.5%), Kate brings fierce clarity and grounded compassion to conversations about coercive control, codependency, and the complex dynamics that shape women's relationships and choices. For well over a decade, Kate has guided women through the emotional and practical challenges of deciding whether to stay or leave their marriages, helping them rebuild self-trust, navigate high-conflict partners, and dismantle patriarchal conditioning. Her work blends feminist analysis, relational insight, and practical communication tools that empower women to make safe, self-led decisions. Kate is also developing a groundbreaking project exploring true crime as women's survival literature, illuminating the coercive control patterns and systemic failures embedded in headline cases.

In this episode, Molly explores one of the most emotionally charged moments in any behavior change journey: going off plan. Whether you're trying to drink less, eat healthier, or shift any long-standing habit, that moment of “I said I wouldn't, but I did” can feel like failure.But what if it's not?Molly shares how deeply rooted perfectionist narratives — especially around alcohol — make us believe that if we slip, we must be broken, or incapable of moderation. Drawing from neuroscience and psychology, she explains how our brains create conditioned responses and how off-plan drinking isn't a diagnosis, it's data.You'll learn why changing your relationship with alcohol (or any habit) doesn't require perfection — it requires compassion, curiosity, and a willingness to keep going. And you'll be introduced to the Off-Plan Plan, which is a tool  she teaches in her programs. What You'll LearnWhy culturally conditioned narratives frame abstinence as the “only” answerHow your lower brain creates automatic responses to stress and emotionThe science behind why intention alone doesn't drive behaviorWhat perfectionism is really about — and why it shuts down progressHow compassion and curiosity fuel lasting changeA powerful mindset reframe: Off-plan moments aren't failure — they're feedbackKey Quote from the Episode“Off-plan drinking is not a diagnosis. It's not proof that you can't do it. It's information. It's data. It's your brain telling you that something about that moment overwhelmed the tools you had available.”Weekly ReflectionWhen I drink off plan, what story do I immediately tell myself about who I am?And what would change if I treated that moment as information instead of evidence?Resources & MentionsSunnyside mindful drinking appPrevious episodes in the January arc:Fresh Start Effect (Jan 1)Mostly Dry is Enough (Jan 5)Neuroscience of Follow-Through (Jan 8)From Restraint to Reward (Jan 12)Identity Lag (Jan 15)Emotional Freedom (Jan 19)Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us a textIn a culture obsessed with optimization, control, and staying positive at all costs, emotional numbness has quietly become a survival strategy. In this episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we sit inside the tension most people avoid, the moments where discomfort, grief, and unprocessed emotion get pushed aside in the name of productivity, resilience, or growth.We challenge the assumption that not feeling is strength and expose the long-term cost of emotional suppression on the body, the nervous system, and the life you are building. This episode holds space for what happens when avoidance looks functional, when “doing well” becomes another way to run, and when emotional signals are ignored until they demand attention.This is not about intensity. It is about honesty, capacity, and what it actually means to stay alive to your own experience in a world that rewards disconnection.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#453 | What it REALLY Feels Like with High Quality Therapy - https://apple.co/4anaO6d #457 | Polyvagal Theory: The Key to Well-Being - https://apple.co/4bjIu58 Learn more about:

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Pimpin Ken, a former high-level pimp from Chicago and Milwaukee, breaks down the psychology, power dynamics, and realities of the pimping game during its peak in the 1970s–1990s. Ken speaks candidly about how he entered the life as a teenager, the culture of pimping that existed at the time, and how manipulation, control, and desensitization became central to survival. He explains the difference between street-level track work and higher-end strip club and VIP hustles, detailing how money was really made — and why most people misunderstand the game entirely. This interview also dives deep into: -The psychology behind control, power, and influence -How pimping was normalized in certain eras and communities -The role of trauma, abandonment, and emotional conditioning -Why he avoided violence and relied on manipulation instead -The evolution from street hustling to sophisticated financial setups -His thoughts on relationships, marriage, masculinity, and power -How prison, reading, and reflection changed his perspective This is not a glamorization — it's a firsthand account of a brutal system, told by someone who lived it and survived it.

It's Ok To Feel Like You're A Failure

What happens when life hits harder than your capacity can handle?In this episode, Kevin and Alan explain why readiness is not built in moments of pressure, but long before they arrive. Most people do not fail from lack of effort. They fail because their capacity is too small for the life they want. After years of building businesses, navigating setbacks, coaching clients, and recording thousands of conversations on growth, they have seen the same pattern repeat. Comfort weakens readiness. Short-term thinking limits resilience. When life demands more, most people are exposed.If you want to meet life with strength instead of reaction, this episode will change how you think about preparation. Build the capacity now, or pay the price later. Press play accordingly.Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

I Understand Why Most People Have Given Up.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros expose a common breakdown in personal growth that has nothing to do with motivation or effort. It starts with the moment you set a goal and quietly avoid the standard required to achieve it. This episode centers on self-leadership, accountability, and the discipline to act in alignment with who you say you want to become. It challenges the way most people negotiate with themselves, lowers expectations under pressure, and confuses awareness with progress. The result is stalled momentum and eroded self-trust.If you want results that compound and standards that hold, this episode will force an honest look at who is really in charge of your future. Decide accordingly.Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

Laughter Isn't Just Medicine... It's The Solution Most People Are Missing

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros address a quiet reason progress stalls even when effort, discipline, and consistency are present. The issue is not work ethic. It is distorted awareness, subtle blind spots that shape decisions, perception, and results without being noticed. Drawing from years of coaching and thousands of conversations, this discussion points to why most people reinforce the wrong strengths and overlook the one area quietly limiting growth. The focus is precision, not motivation. Clarity, not affirmation. Listen carefully. Then identify what you have been compensating for and correct it before the cost compounds.Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

Pre Order My Book HereIn this conversation, I talk about the everyday stuff that makes up family life. From trying to figure out meals, to dealing with kids getting sick, to what we're watching at night and even the books we read in high school. It's a mix of random moments and real life.We get into personal growth and how knowing things doesn't mean much if you don't actually execute. I share what the process of writing this book has been like, the doubts, the motivation, and why I felt called to do it in the first place.We also reflect on marriage, relationships, and how everything shifts when you have a family.

When we lose sight of what to be thankful for, we start to lose our ability to enjoy our life. When gratitude evades us, joy escapes us and we can slip into cynicism and scarcity. There is no happiness found in scarcity. This meditation hopes to help the listener return to the present moment to find themselves grateful for this breath, this time, this moment, this life.

Most people think confidence is about believing in yourself. Gabrielle Bernstein knows better — it's about befriending the parts of yourself that hold you back. After two decades as a spiritual teacher and writing 11 bestselling books, the author of The Universe Has Your Back and Self-Help has cracked the code on why we sabotage our success, stay stuck in negative loops, and block the very abundance we're trying to attract. In this raw, deeply personal conversation, Gabrielle breaks down the exact Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework that changed her life, why pushing harder actually blocks manifestation, how suppressed trauma creates parts that sabotage you decades later, and why the 3 AM spiral can be stopped by visualizing your thoughts in a bubble and sending them away. And it's not just vibes — it's applied psychology. If you've ever felt like you're blocking your own success, spiraling in negative self-talk, or pushing so hard you can't receive what's trying to come to you, this episode will rewire how you think about confidence, manifestation, and what it actually takes to attract abundance. If this episode hits a nerve, good. Because insight without action is just expensive therapy. That's why we built Main Street Millionaire Live — three days with real operators learning how to buy and build boring, cash-flowing businesses that create actual freedom. Main Street Millionaire Live is where mindset turns into money. Less manifesting. More ownership.

Get Rid Of The Negative Negative People In Your Life ASAP

Most limits stay invisible until results expose them. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan challenge how most people think about progress, effort, and self-improvement. Hard work is not the problem. Misalignment, blind spots, and incomplete awareness are. This episode breaks down what actually drives outcomes beneath the surface and why real growth demands precision, accurate perception, and the courage to confront what is missing instead of doubling down on what merely feels productive.If you want fewer setbacks and more durable results, this conversation will change how you evaluate yourself, others, and the world you are operating in.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly breaks down a powerful concept at the heart of sustainable habit change: micro-yeses. These are the small, often overlooked decisions that align with your long-term goals—even if they feel too minor to matter.Whether you're working on behavior change related to exercise, diet, spending, screen time, or any other habit, micro-yeses are the building blocks of momentum. This episode explores how these tiny choices affect the brain, create identity shifts, and lead to real progress over time.Key Topics CoveredWhat a "micro-yes" is and why it mattersHow small decisions activate the prefrontal cortex and build new neural pathwaysWhy repetition, not perfection, drives real behavior changeThe role of self-recognition in maintaining motivationWhat behavior scientists like BJ Fogg say about starting smallScience and InsightsMicro-yeses interrupt automatic behavior loops by engaging intentional brain regions like the prefrontal cortexThrough consistent action, these moments create synaptic plasticity, helping rewire the brain for new habitsAs Stanford researcher BJ Fogg notes:“Tiny actions, repeated consistently, change identity.”Reflection Prompt:Where have you said yes to yourself this week, even in a small or imperfect way?Recognize it. Count it. It matters.Related Episodes to ExploreThe Fresh Start Effect (January 1)Neuroscience of Follow-Through (January 8)Identity Lag: Why Your Brain Hasn't Caught Up Yet (January 15) ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us a textIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures, we use Avatar as a lens to examine why certain films cut through distraction and land at a deeper psychological level. We look beyond spectacle and symbolism to notice how storytelling can surface unprocessed grief, collective avoidance, and the subtle ways we disconnect from responsibility when reality feels overwhelming. This is not a breakdown of plot or a search for meaning to agree with. It is an exploration of how art reflects the systems we participate in, the values we claim, and the behaviors we often overlook.Through the Evolve Lens, the film becomes less about fantasy and more about awareness, pattern recognition, and what happens when we stop numbing ourselves to what is right in front of us. Let this one change how you watch, not just what you think. Stay with the discomfort long enough for it to sharpen your awareness.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#454 | How Entertainment Can Turn You On - https://apple.co/4bBi7HU #442 | Why Certain Clutter Is Hard to Let Go Of - https://apple.co/4jRSHbi Learn more about:

What if the real risk to our health isn't aging itself, but becoming metabolically weak?Dr. Gabrielle Lyon — physician, researcher, and one of the leading voices redefining how we think about health and longevity — shares why muscle sits at the center of lasting strength, energy, and vitality. In this wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, she explores why health isn't something to manage later with prescriptions, but something to build deliberately through strength and daily discipline.Dr. Lyon's muscle-centric approach reframes aging and performance: real longevity is not about doing less, but building the capacity to do more — with purpose, clarity, and resilience. From the science of protein and training to the psychology of sustainable health, this conversation offers a roadmap to living strong, not just long.You'll learn:Why muscle is the organ of longevityHow to build metabolic health through training and nutritionThe key to balancing strength, performance, and recoveryHow to approach GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic) with nuance and cautionWhy physical strength fuels mental resilience and purpose_______________________________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

Backstabbing, Betrayal, Breakups and Disappointment

Are you truly leveling up, or just moving faster without understanding who you are becoming?In this episode, Kevin and Alan break down why real growth often feels disorienting and why reflection is a non-negotiable performance skill, not a soft habit. They challenge the belief that progress means leaving the past behind and explain how reassessing previous seasons builds grounded confidence, sharper self-awareness, and long-term consistency. Drawing from years of experience, recurring client patterns, and thousands of conversations, they show how clarity, identity alignment, and discipline are what allow growth to compound without burnout or entitlement.Listen with intention.

Why does patience feel so hard—especially when you're doing all the “right” things? In this special re-air from a 2022 Dear Gabby Q&A, Gabrielle Bernstein explores one of the most misunderstood spiritual principles: patience as the natural result of faith, not something you force. Responding to listener questions about manifestation and feeling stuck, Gabrielle reframes patience as an energetic state that emerges when fear transforms into trust. Through live coaching, she offers practical guidance on surrendering to divine timing while navigating financial pressure, worthiness, and entrepreneurship. This episode is a powerful reminder that manifestation doesn't respond to hustle—it responds to grounded belief, alignment, and faith. When trust is strong, patience becomes effortless.Try Gabrielle's FREE magnetic energy meditation to supercharge your attracting powers http://bit.ly/40gOfueRead Gabrielle's #1 NYT Bestselling book: The Universe Has Your Back: Transform Fear Into Faith. http://bit.ly/45T1sfcIf you feel you need additional support, please consult this list of safety, recovery, and mental health resources.Disclaimer: This podcast is intended to educate, inspire, and support you on your personal journey towards inner peace.
