"I'm addicted to sugar." "Once I start, I can't stop." If you've ever said something like this, you're not exaggerating, and you're not alone. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Oldson breaks down the real science behind food addiction: why it mirrors substance use disorders, why it's still missing from the DSM-5, and what the Yale Food Addiction Scale tells us. She covers the latest research connecting ultra-processed foods, brain reward pathways, and even GLP-1 medications, then walks through what evidence-based treatment looks like, from cognitive behavioral therapy to harm-reduction approaches. If you've ever wondered whether your relationship with certain foods is more than a willpower problem, this episode gives you the science, the tools, and a next best action to start with.Thanks for listening!

“Relax.” “Stay positive.” “Come on.”You talk to yourself on court. But are those words helping you with the next point?In the first episode of this ten-part series, Dr. Santiago Dayenoff explores instructional and motivational self-talk: how they differ, what research suggests, and how to experiment with two personal cue words in practice.A starting point for understanding what you say to yourself—and making it more useful.Episode 1 of 10.Research discussed: Hatzigeorgiadis, A., Zourbanos, N., Galanis, E., & Theodorakis, Y.

Do you assume that some goals, like exercise, healthy eating, or building a new habit, are reserved for people who are naturally good at them? In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD shares a moment from a high school cross country meet that changed the way she thinks about confidence, effort, and lasting change. Drawing on research from psychologists Albert Bandura and Carol Dweck, and grit researcher Angela Duckworth, she breaks down why showing up imperfectly, again and again, builds more self-belief than natural talent ever could. Whether you're working on weight loss, starting an exercise routine, or trying something completely unrelated to health, you'll learn why progress doesn't have to look graceful to count, and how changing the way you talk to yourself about effort can change your long-term results. Tune in for practical, science-backed strategies for building confidence, sticking with new habits, and supporting better health and longevity, one imperfect rep at a time.Thanks for listening!

“What you think is not gospel.”Can arguing with yourself make you happier? Martin Seligman, positive psychology pioneer and author of Agency: The Psychological History of Human Progress, says our negative thoughts don't have to dictate how we feel. By recognizing our internal narratives and challenging them with evidence, we can change our outlook and build a greater sense of agency. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Seligman and Matt Abrahams discuss flourishing, optimism, and the power of self-talk. They also examine why celebrating other people's successes takes more than saying “congratulations,” and how active, constructive communication can deepen our relationships.Takeaways:Your thoughts aren't facts. Negative self-talk can shape your emotions and actions, but learning to challenge those thoughts with realistic evidence can help you develop a more optimistic outlook.Celebrate success with curiosity, not just congratulations. Asking thoughtful questions about someone's good news helps them relive the experience and can deepen your relationship.Activity:Argue with yourself. Catch one negative thought you have about yourself this week and write it down as an argument rather than a fact. Then build the opposing case by listing three pieces of real evidence that challenge it.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Martin SeligmanMartin's Book: AgencyEp.179 Finding Positive in Negative Emotions: Communication, Happiness & WellbeingEp.181 Why Happiness is a Direction, Not a Destination: Communicat… Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:20) - The Five Pillars of Flourishing (04:51) - Changing Your Inner Dialogue (06:22) - Challenging Negative Self-Talk (07:58) - Overcoming Imposter Syndrome (09:38) - Building a Sense of Agency (11:27) - Learning From Your Critics (13:18) - The Final Three Questions (20:17) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.

The Truth About Feeling "Not Enough" Why do you feel like you're not enough? In this conversation, we explore self-worth, the inner critic, imposter syndrome, negative self-talk, emotional healing, and how to change the beliefs that keep you stuck.

Welcome our first Canadian guest, Weston Blatz! Weston is the touring drummer for rising country artist Emily Ann Roberts. We dive into Weston's musical upbringing in Canada and the winding road that would eventually land him the gig with Emily, including a milestone-packed year performing at both the Ryman and the Grand Ole Opry. We discuss learning songs exactly like the record, memorizing without charts, plus the mental pressures of touring, and why being a good person and a good hang matters most. We hope you enjoy!

Happy Mindful Monday! In this week's episode, our host Allie Brooke sits down with Elsa Valentine. Elsa is an entrepreneur, coach and lifelong explorer of what it means to come home to ourselves. Guided by fascination rather than convention, her journey has taken her from nutrition and startups to neuroscience, the unconscious mind and emotional intelligence, all through the lens of one central philosophy: seek within. Inspired by her own lived experience, Elsa is the founder of INNATE, an app exploring how a dialogue between our past, present and future selves can help us build greater self-awareness, emotional agency and a more compassionate relationship with ourselves. When she's not building, she's usually with her beloved Lusitano horses, in the ocean, or contemplating consciousness, space and the extraordinary experience of being human. Episode Topics From a neurological standpoint, why do our brains use staying hyper-busy as a defense mechanism when we are feeling overwhelmed? When we get triggered- whether it's an email from a boss, a boundary we have to set, or a comparison on social media- what is actually happening inside our brains? Why does it feel so impossible to 'think positive' in that moment? Your app, INNATE, focuses on proactive inner dialogue. What is the difference between being reactive to our thoughts versus being proactive with our self-talk? INNATE utilizes video-journaling. Why is speaking our thoughts aloud on video uniquely powerful for the brain compared to traditional pen-and-paper journaling or just thinking to ourselves?" If a listener is feeling a wave of anxiety, self-doubt, or a trigger right now, what is one micro-neuroscience tool they can use in the next 60 seconds to calm their nervous system?" For the woman listening who wants to shift from a survival state into an aligned, thriving state, what is the best way for her to begin engaging with her own 'innate' resilience today?

If you've ever stood in the back row of a family photo, worn the same "safe" outfit to hide your body, or offered to be the photographer just so you don't have to be in the picture, this episode is for you. Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down a well documented psychology finding called the spotlight effect, research showing we all dramatically overestimate how closely other people are watching and judging us. She also digs into internalized weight stigma, and why you can know, intellectually, that the people around you aren't judging your weight, while still feeling shame show up in your body anyway. Using a patient's story that many women will recognize in themselves, this episode makes the case that weight loss isn't a requirement for being loved, seen, or valued by the people already in your life.

The Center for Medical Simulation Presents: DJ Simulationistas... 'Sup?
As we learn to manage, we have to acknowledge that defensive survival circuits are automatic, and produce immediate behavioral and physiological changes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822 When we react, we know from the research that our management is not to prevent reactions, but rather what we do AFTER we react. We have to reset ourselves and repair whatever happened during the reaction. Deep breaths, half-smiles (reset of the facial muscles), and instructional self-talk work best--in Jenny's case, the instruction is “use the skills you have” when you're wanting to fight or freeze. It should also say “you”, or your name, rather than “I.” Workout of the week: Give yourself an instructional mantra that will work for you when you come to difficult situations. Jenny's version is “use the skills you have.” Leadership Coaching from Jenny Rudolph: https://harvardmedsim.org/personal-leadership-coaching-with-jenny-rudolph/ #healthcaresimulation #nursing #medicine #debriefing #psychsafety
In this powerful interview with Dr. Adolphus Sims, Dr. Self and Dr. Sims discuss the need for reconciliation and how debates, pride, and the need to be right run counter to the fundamentals of Scripture. Reconciliation is not optional; it's Christ's ministry and the ministry we have been called to. This show covers relationships, marriage, forgiveness, and much more. 2 Cor 5:18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, Help Dr. Self continue this show - partner at www.icmcollege.org/donate Answer your call by enrolling with the International College of Ministry at www.icmcollege.org/enroll Purchase Dr. Ray's latest book, "The Call."

Send us Fan MailYour strongest beliefs are already steering your next decision. Ron Myers digs into a question that sounds simple but can change everything: what are you believing about God, about yourself, and about what you're walking through right now? We lay out the chain reaction from belief to behavior to movement to evidence, and why “biblical optimism” is not pretending life is easy. It's trusting the God who is still working even when the moment hurts, feels unfair, or makes no sense.Ron shares a personal story about getting rattled by another Christian's opinion and how fear can sneak in wearing religious language. From there, we ground confidence in grace and identity in Christ, including the stabilizing promise of “no condemnation” and what it looks like to renew your mind by rewriting the script playing in your head. If you've been stuck in “I'm too old,” “I'm not qualified,” or “nothing works for me,” you'll hear practical language shifts that move you from shame to growth.We also talk about action when you can't see the whole plan: walking through fog one visible step at a time, turning the handle before calling the door locked, and treating closed doors as potential redirection. Plus, we answer a big faith question: can a Christian stop believing and forfeit salvation? The takeaway is security, not pressure and it reshapes how we see God and ourselves.Listen now, then share this with someone who needs to believe again, and subscribe, rate, and review to help more people find these grace-filled conversations.

Send Rachel a text message.Feeling burned out by healing, self-improvement, or spiritual growth? You may be trying too hard.In this episode of Self Talk, Rachel Astarte explores inner work burnout and the exhaustion that can arise when personal growth becomes another project to manage, master, or perfect. Sometimes the underdeveloped ego that once resisted our growth simply turns healing into another form of striving.Rachel offers a gentler path through the Foundation of Self, exploring why lasting transformation is ultimately experiential rather than intellectual and how awareness, nonjudgment, and gentleness can help us release unnecessary effort. Drawing on the self-inquiry of Sri Ramana Maharshi, listeners are invited to ask, “Who is having this thought?” and shift attention from the mind's activity to Awareness itself.This episode also introduces Rachel's “Magic Therapy Question”—How do I want to feel in this situation?—as a practical tool for recognizing misalignment and reconnecting with the wisdom of the Highest Self.If your inner work feels overwhelming, exhausting, or heavy, this conversation offers a simple reminder: You do not have to earn what you already are. Rest, listen inward, and remember that you are a unique expression of Pure Consciousness—an eternal Self living a fully human life.Listen to discover how to stop striving to become awakened and begin living awake.EPISODE TIMELINE0:00 – Opening Quote & Theme SetupJean Klein on “living stillness” and undoing conditioning; introduction to the episode and the Living Your Foundation of Self series.0:55 – Defining Inner Work BurnoutDescription of burnout as exhaustion from long-term inner work practices and the hidden expectation of “being further along” by now.2:05 – You Are Already Whole (Pure Consciousness)Re-centering on the core teaching: you are already whole, pure consciousness; inner work is about removing what you are not, not becoming “better.”3:05 – What Is Inner Work, Really?Revisit of the foundational definition: inner work as turning inward with awareness, curiosity, non-judgment, and gentleness rather than a self-improvement project.4:00 – The Mind as Tool vs. ObstacleThe mind's need for repetition and effort–reward loops; why this clashes with the non-linear, mysterious nature of genuine inner work.5:00 – How the Ego Co-opts Inner WorkThe underdeveloped ego's fear of obliteration; turning inner work into a “project” with goals and milestones, setting you up for burnout.6:07 – Expectation, Measurement, and FailureThe ego's “measuring stick”: Have I done enough? Found the right teacher? Become ‘better' yet? Why this project must fail from the ego's perspective.7:10 – The Real Source of ExhaustionClarifying that what drains you is not introspection itself, but striving to become a better, future self instead of accepting who you are now.8:05 – Stop Trying: From Mind-Work to Soul-ExperienceInvitation to pause effort, step out of “doing inner work,” and shift from intellectual understanding to direct, experiential being.8:55 – Self-Inquiry Practice (Ramana Maharshi)Guided explanation of asking “Who is having this thought?” and “Who am I?” to move attention from thoughts to pure awareness or “neutral space.”9:55 – The Magic Therapy QuestionIntroduction of “How do I want to feel in this situation?” with real-life examples (partner, boss, parents) and reclaiming emotional choice.10:45 – Meeting Your Inner Guru (Sadguru)Framing the highest Self / inner Guru as innate wisdom that sees beyond fear and conditioning; how all this work returns you to your foundation of Self.11:29 – Returning to the Three PillarsClear recap of the three pillars: awareness, non-judgment, gentleness—and how to use them when you feel burned out or “off track.”12:10 – Applying the Tools in the MomentCombining self-inquiry with the magic question (“How do I want to feel right now?”) to rest in neutrality and non-identification with thoughts.13:00 – You Are Already That PersonReleasing the fantasy of a more spiritual future self; recognizing you are already the healed, spiritual being you're trying to become.13:40 – Final Reminder: Ambassador of SourceClosing reflection: you are a unique iteration of pure consciousness here to experience human life in all its complexity, beauty, difficulty, and wonder; gentle sign-off.Got a question about your self?

How we respond when we fail reveals a lot about our hearts and how well we are believing and applying the gospel to our lives. Listen in as Jesse shares about how God unexpectedly used a recent "failure" in Jesse's life to reveal pride and shame in his heart, and to open up some powerful communication in our family on how we should respond when we fail.

Non-scale victories prove your healthy habits are working, even when the number on the scale refuses to move. In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD explains why the scale is almost always the last thing to change, not the first, and why relying on it alone can make you feel like you're failing even when you're succeeding. Drawing on research from Karl Weick on small wins and Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer's work on The Progress Principle, plus a real client's list of tracked non-scale victories, Dr. Oldson shows why celebrating small, visible wins is essential to weight loss motivation and long-term success.The episode also introduces glimmer notes, a practice for capturing and holding onto the kind things people say to you. Backed by research on negativity bias and the Gottmans' 5:1 ratio findings from marriage research, this segment explains why we're wired to forget compliments and remember criticism, and what to do about it. Listeners leave with two concrete practices, a non-scale victory list and a glimmer list, to help build weight loss motivation and confidence that doesn't depend on the number on the scale.Thanks for listening!

Studying English alone can feel frustrating: you understand a lot, but the words still won't come out when you need them. In this episode, you'll learn a simple (but powerful) system to turn “input” into real speaking ability by studying through identity—because identity is the one topic you always have access to, even when no one is there to practice with you.You'll discover how to run any new word, expression, or idiom through five identity components so it becomes personal, memorable, and easy to recall in real conversations:Life Experiences (storytelling that sounds natural)Self-Talk (language that reshapes confidence and fluency)What Matters Most (opinions that create advanced, nuanced English)Daily Habits (everyday English you can repeat effortlessly)Your People (describing real relationships with real emotion)Plus, you'll hear practical examples using phrases like “relentless,” “hold my ground,” and “wear my heart on my sleeve”—so you can copy the method and start applying it immediately.If you've been learning alone and wondering why you still freeze, this is the missing system.Listen now, and start building English that actually feels like yours.If you want to sign up for the free English email newsletter, go to https://speakenglishwithtiffani.com/newsletter
Not all weight loss medications are created equal, and picking the right one isn't as simple as choosing whatever's trending. In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD walks through the framework she uses in her practice to decide which weight loss medication is right for each patient. She starts with other health conditions like sleep apnea, heart disease, diabetes, migraines, and fatty liver disease, then moves through safety considerations, cost, and how much weight loss someone actually needs. Whether someone prefers a shot or a pill is always a consideration. Using a real patient case, Dr. Lisa breaks down how GLP-1 medications like Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide), and other meds (like Qsymia and Foundayo) get matched to the right person. She also explains why medication for excess weight is legitimate, evidence-based chronic disease treatment, and not "cheating." This medication episode wouldn't be complete without an update on retatrutide, the "Triple G," next-generation medication making headlines with over 28% weight loss in recent trials.Grab the free worksheet that goes with this episode: https://www.smartweightlosscoaching.com/smart-weight-loss-coaching-podcast-worksheet-170Thanks for listening!

In this episode of the Ready State Podcast, Kelly and Juliet Starrett sit down with the retired SEAL Team Six operator, pilot, skydiver, and author of Drownproof to explore the mindset that helps people stay steady when life feels anything but that.From a chaotic military skydive gone spectacularly wrong to the emotional toll of divorce, Andy shares why the ability to "chunk" overwhelming challenges into the next manageable step has become one of the most valuable skills he's ever developed. Along the way, the conversation dives into self-talk, asking for help, ownership, leadership, flow state, and why resilience isn't about being fearless – but about learning to focus on what you can control when everything else feels out of control.Whether you're navigating a personal setback, leading a team, raising kids, or simply trying to build a more resilient mindset, this episode offers practical lessons for staying grounded, making better decisions, and keeping your head above water when the inevitable storms of life arrive.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy resilience is less about toughness and more about controlling what you can controlHow breaking overwhelming challenges into small, manageable steps can help you navigate almost any crisisThe surprising role that self-talk plays in performance, confidence, and decision-making under pressureWhy asking for help is one of the strongest leadership skills, not a sign of weaknessHow finding a healthy "flow state" can improve focus, reduce stress, and build long-term resilience through work, sport, or everyday lifeKey Highlights: (00:00) Intro & Andy's Background(05:15) Origin of "Becoming a Supple Leopard"(11:00) Backstory of "Drownproof" Title(17:49) Where We Learn Resilience & Life Skills(20:22) Breaking Tasks Into Small Chunks(23:12) Andy's Wild HAHO Jump Story(30:43) Everything Goes Wrong Mid-Air(37:52) Getting to Safety & Lesson From the Jump(43:04) How Divorce Was Harder Than SEAL Training(47:38) The Power of Self-Talk(49:11) Asking for Help as a Sign of Strength(54:32) After-Action Reviews, Accountability, & Leadership(54:34) Why 85% Quit BUD/S(58:14) The Chunking vs. Overwhelm Theory(1:00:00) Hell Week & the Psychology of Time(1:09:57) "It Takes Longer to Do It Wrong"(1:17:32) Writing Drownproof(1:20:38) BASE Jumping, Wingsuits, & Risk(1:23:44) Flow State, Not Adrenaline(1:31:23) The Sphere of Influence Exercise(1:33:32) Redirecting Negative Self-Talk(1:34:47) The Infinite Shelf: Money & MeaningHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT and Momentous.

What if the story you tell yourself about your health is not entirely coming from your mind—but is being influenced by what is happening inside your body? In this episode of ReversABLE, Josh Dech sits down with Kyle Gray for a conversation about the intersection of gut health, inflammation, biology, emotions, language, and personal identity. Kyle shares his own decade-long health journey, including Hashimoto's, gut health problems, fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, and the anxiety and self-judgment that accompanied them. His experience raises a powerful question: when your biology makes you feel terrible, how much of the negative story you tell yourself is actually a reflection of your circumstances—and how much is simply your brain trying to explain the feeling? The conversation challenges the simplistic idea that you can simply "think positive" and overcome chronic health problems. Instead, Kyle argues that biological health and belief can influence one another. Improving digestion and addressing underlying health problems may create greater access to positive emotional states, while the language and beliefs we repeatedly use can influence our emotions, behavior, physiology, and relationships. Josh and Kyle explore how gut dysbiosis and inflammation can become intertwined with anxiety, self-worth, imposter syndrome, and hopelessness, as well as how people can begin identifying the stories running underneath their symptoms. Kyle also introduces a practical process for examining those stories word by word—using language to move from helplessness toward agency and purpose. For anyone struggling with chronic gut symptoms, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune issues, fatigue, anxiety, or the feeling that their health has become part of their identity, this episode offers a different lens on the root cause conversation: not as a replacement for addressing biology, but as another layer worth examining. TOPICS DISCUSSED: Gut Health, Dysbiosis, Inflammation, And The Biological Origins Of Feelings The Relationship Between Biology, Emotions, Thoughts, And Personal Stories How Chronic Symptoms Can Become Self-Judgment, Shame, And Imposter Syndrome Language, Self-Talk, Affirmations, And Changing The Words We Use Finding Purpose And Strength Inside Painful Health Experiences The Practical Process For Identifying And Reframing Limiting Beliefs Communicating Chronic Illness To Family, Partners, And Healthcare Professionals The Role Of Hope, Possibility, And Changing Beliefs In Health Education More from Kyle Gray: Website: thestoryengine.co Instagram: @heykylegray Facebook: Kyle Gray Youtube: Kyle Gray X: @kylethegray Listen To Kyle's Podcast: The Story Engine Podcast Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review Need help with your gut?

This week, I'm bringing back a conversation from the archives with Ethan Kross, one of the world's leading experts on the conscious mind and the author of Chatter and Shift.I wanted to replay this episode because it connects so strongly with what I've been exploring lately on Grow the Good: impatience, rushing, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and the way our inner voice can either help us move through challenges or keep us stuck in loops of overthinking.Ethan's work looks at the conversations we have with ourselves and how those conversations shape our health, performance, decisions, relationships, and well-being. In this episode, we talk about negative self-talk, chatter, emotion, mindfulness, problem-solving, and why creating psychological distance can help us work with our thoughts more effectively.One of the tools Ethan shares is called distant self-talk: coaching yourself through a challenge the way you would coach a friend, even using your own name or the word “you” to create a little more space. That shift can help us move from being consumed by our thoughts to relating to them with more perspective.This conversation is a great reminder that our thoughts are not always facts, and our inner voice does not have to be in charge. We can learn to work with it, redirect it, and use it as a tool for more clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.KEY TAKEAWAYS:The difference between self-control and willpowerWhat emotions are and how they shape our behaviorProblem-solving versus overthinkingNegative self-talk versus chatterWhen mindfulness helps, and when reframing may be more usefulHow distant self-talk can shift perspectiveWhy sleep and chatter are so closely connectedLINKS:- Original conversation with Ethan Kross- Learn more about Ethan's work- Read Ethan's books "Chatter" and newly released, "Shift"- Listen to Self-Talk for Performance: Mental Skills for Athletes--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

How to Quit Your Job: A Mom's Guide to Creating a Life and Business You Love
As moms, we often assume overwhelm comes from having too much to do. But sometimes it's actually about not having the capacity to hold everything that's already on our plate. And while we often look for solutions like deleting tasks, asking for help, or creating better systems, there's another piece we have much more control over: the way we talk to ourselves.In this episode, I share why self-talk matters so much, especially when we're balancing motherhood, building a business, and trying to show up for all the people who need us. Listen in as I help you notice the conversations happening in your head and start shifting them into thoughts that build your capacity instead of drain it.For more information, transcript, and show notes, click here: jenna.coach/117 Join me for a free consultation by clicking here: https://mom.jenna.coach/apply You're invited to join us every 2nd Thursday for my free Mom Entrepreneurs Circle.

This week we're diving into one of the biggest things that can hold us back from becoming the person we want to be... our own self-talk. I've picked out some of my favourite moments from past episodes. Whether it's unrealistic expectations, fear of failure, or simply getting stuck in the same negative thought patterns, sometimes the voice that's sabotaging us the most is the one inside our own head. In this episode I share: Are you an asshole to yourself? A reality check. Have you ever stopped to think about whether you're actually being way too hard on yourself? Let’s get over your fear of failing together: How unrealistic expectations and negative self-talk can quietly creep into our everyday lives. Can your thoughts really change your life: Exploring the connection between our thoughts, our habits and the stories we tell ourselves every single day. … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears. This podcast is about growth that’s messy, building a life that actually fits you, and what happens when life doesn’t go to plan. We’ll talk mental health, motherhood, business, ADHD and how to stop being such an asshole to yourself. New episodes drop every Monday morning.So set your reminder. Pop in your headphones. Because we’re Stephing Up together. If today's episode helped, leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify is honestly the best thing you can do to help us reach more women. … Let’s Hang: Stephing Up on Instagram: @stephing.up Steph Pase on Instagram: @stephpase_ Steph Pase on Youtube: @stephpase.

Weight loss myths are everywhere, and most of them sound completely reasonable, which is exactly why they're so hard to shake. In this episode, board-certified weight loss medicine specialist Lisa Oldson, MD busts the first five weight loss myths she hears most often in her practice, backed by real research, not diet culture folklore.In this episode, you'll learn:Why "calories in vs. calories out" is missing a huge piece of the puzzle (and what a 2019 NIH study on ultra-processed food proves about it)Why there's no single "best" diet for weight loss, according to a major Stanford-led clinical trialWhy fear of fat is misguided, and which high fat foods actually support heart health and weight managementWhy exercise isn't the weight loss silver bullet you think it is (and what it's actually essential for)Why "it's not working" is often the wrong conclusion when weight loss feels slowThis is part 1 of a 2-part series on the top 10 weight loss myths. Come back next week for myths 6 through 10, covering motivation, protein powder, weight loss medication, self-talk, and life after weight loss.Thanks for listening!

Send us Fan Mail That quiet voice that says “you're not enough” can get so familiar you start calling it your personality. We don't accept that. I'm joined by Tommy Rodriguez for a grounded talk on self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and what it actually takes to shift your mindset from the inside out, especially when you've tried the usual tools and still feel stuck. We dig into why mindset isn't a one-time breakthrough but a practice you train like a muscle. Tommy shares how positive self-talk shows up in real life, like the moment you spill coffee, make a mistake, or hit a rough week and your progress feels like it disappears. We talk about how your environment, your habits, and the people around you quietly shape your mental health, confidence, and “what's possible” narrative more than any single affirmation ever will. You'll hear practical mindset strategies you can use immediately: gratitude walks you actually schedule, “going to bed a winner” so you wake up with proof of progress, flipping “what if it fails?” into “what if it works?”, and building belief by doing uncomfortable things until they become normal. We also touch the deeper reframe that changes how you handle setbacks: life happening for you, not to you, and learning to choose a voice that truly belongs to you. If you want more self-belief, stronger resilience, and a mindset that holds up under pressure, press play.

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!In this episode, Wendy sits down with Kristine Jensen, a psychotherapist who spent 35+ years helping clients heal shame, while carrying a deep sense of unworthiness herself. After closing her practice and moving to the California coast, she finally became her own client. What she discovered: shame is foundational, not superficial. It's not embarrassment or guilt. It's a survival mechanism rooted in childhood, where you learned to collapse, comply, and hide in order to feel safe. And it shapes everything.They explore:Shame vs. other emotions: the misunderstood feeling that keeps women small, quiet, and disempoweredSelf-soothing internal dialogue: the practice children with healthy self-esteem learn early, and what happens when you have to teach it to yourself as an adultStop telling your old story: why repeatedly reliving trauma reinforces neural pathways, and how moving toward who you're becoming shifts everythingThe work isn't about understanding what happened to you. It's about learning to talk to yourself the way you'd talk to someone you love. Building an internal vocabulary of self-encouragement. Getting tired of your old story so you can create a new one. This is how unworthiness heals.Connect with Kristine:kristine-jensen.comFacebook: facebook.com/kristinebjensenauthorLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kristine-jensen-203a09129/Get her book, Bruised Not Broken: amazon.com/Bruised-Not-Broken-Troubled-Childhood/dp/B0DZ2PZN37?tag=syty-20________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

We explore how the words we speak and the stories we repeat quietly shape our perception, our identity, and the results we get. We share simple reframes like “yet”, plus real coaching and parenting examples that turn pressure and complaining into clarity and progress.• the power of “yet” as a growth mindset lever • noticing inner dialogue and changing language without forcing fake positivity • reticular activating system, confirmation bias, and why you see what you expect • coaching athletes to challenge inherited stories that create pressure • future-based journaling as a way to write a better script • autosuggestion and “watchman at the gate” as subconscious training • progressive and constructive phrasing for parenting and relationships • “complaint or request” as a daily awareness practice • self-love as a repeatable internal habit that becomes spontaneous We want to hear from you. We'd love it if you leave us a rating and review. Helps more people find the show.
You hear your own voice more than anyone else's. Eventually it becomes the environment your brain lives in. Amanda, Christin, and Jess Saxon get into how the story running in your head shapes your performance, your body image, your confidence, and your ability to build anything that lasts. They talk about why self-criticism gets mistaken for accountability, why the same event can produce two completely different conclusions depending on the narrator, and why the most elite athletes aren't relentlessly positive, they're just objective. They assess, adjust, and move on. Plus the five-minute rule for processing a bad performance, why "fake it till you make it" is truer in performance than anywhere else, why food choices are data and not a character verdict, and how becoming a parent makes you hear your own inner voice completely differently.

In today's episode, I sit down with executive coach, bestselling author, and leadership expert Rhett Power to talk about how self-talk shapes leadership, culture, and performance. Drawing from years of research and conversations with elite athletes, coaches, and business leaders, Rhett explains why the conversations we have with ourselves influence the way we lead others. We discuss practical strategies for recognizing negative thought patterns, building stronger internal dialogue, and creating healthier team environments. Alongside Rory Cutaia, John Coyle, and Dr. Shawn Dill, we also explore resilience, fear, accountability, and why improving the way we think can transform both personal growth and organizational success.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
High-pressure sales moments test a leader's ability to stay composed, present, and clear when the outcome matters. In this minisode, Dr. Michael Gervais explains how elite performers manage activation before critical moments, from major buyer meetings to executive presentations.

For revenue leaders, this conversation offers a practical lens on preparing the mind before the stakes arrive.

564. You already know attachment styles exist. But do you know what yours sounds like?

Andy Stumpf is a retired Navy SEAL, world-record-holding wingsuit BASE jumper, martial artist, and author. We discuss the mental framework and moment-to-moment decision-making process that can allow anyone to build discipline and resilience and better navigate both everyday life and life's most challenging moments. Andy explains several simple-yet-powerful tools gleaned from his time in — and after — his SEAL career that can help you determine where to focus your actions and how to clear your mind of things you can't control or that hold you back mentally.
