This episode is about what happens when life holds up a mirror and you finally see the gaps between who you think you are and who your actions reveal you to be. Instead of pointing fingers outward, I point them inward — toward discipline, repetition, relapse, and the self-talk that shapes everything.

It's easy to find ourselves in the middle of December with a packed calendar and an unprepared spirit, carrying bitterness, comparison, or disappointment into every day. Drawing from Matthew 3:3, Karen talks about what it means to “prepare the way for the Lord” so we don't miss Jesus in the middle of our own expectations. You'll come away with simple, practical ways to prepare your heart for Christmas, no matter what your circumstances are like.Episode Recap:Today we're talking about preparation (2:15)We must prepare our hearts so we don't miss Christ (3:54)We prepare through self-reflection, repentance, readiness (5:06)It's hard to see the condition of your own heart, so pray about it (6:12)This world is full of trouble, but Christ has overcome the world (13:09)We have to take our thoughts captive over and over and over again (14:45)Practically, how do we prepare our hearts? (17:13)Scripture: Matthew 3:3 (NIV) – ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'Discussion Questions: When you look at this Christmas season, where do you see that your heart might be “unprepared”? (Bitterness, comparison, resentment, fear, exhaustion, etc.)What “self-talk” tends to get loud for you during the holidays (i.e.: life isn't fair, I never have enough, no one appreciates me)? Which scriptures could help you renew your mind with truth instead?Karen shared practical ideas for preparing your heart: starting the day with Jesus, lighting a candle, sitting in silence, simplifying your schedule, serving someone in need. Which one could you realistically try this week?Is there one thing you could say no to this December to create more space for peace, presence, and noticing Jesus? What would it look like to trust God with that decision?Resources:Give today to help us reach more moms with Wire Talk in 2026! boaw.mom/givePick up a copy of Karen's Self Talk curriculum today: https://store.birdsonawiremoms.com/products/six-truths-study-guide?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=ac36e3440&pr_rec_pid=1414191513677&pr_ref_pid=4773089017933&pr_seq=uniformListen to Noel by Tommee Profitt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDyA9W9CaeQ
Today we're diving deep into the way our children communicate! We're asking some difficult but important questions about how we support their speech and language. How do our kids feel when people cannot understand their speech? How do they feel when we, as their parents, cannot understand their speech? How are we supposed to implement all the speech therapy tools? When is it time to just focus on one area of growth for our kids? How do our kids use “self-talk” to share stories and self-soothe? And that's a wrap on this season focused on brain health and Down syndrome! We hope you learned as much as we did from these last 10 episodes. We'll see you again in the new year!

Pressure, perfectionism, and overthinking—three traits that quietly sabotage golfers chasing freedom on the course. In this conversation, Andrew Reynolds, cognitive performance coach and founder of The COG Coach, breaks down what it truly means to play with freedom—and why most golfers never achieve it. He shares how to design practice that mirrors real pressure, add consequence to every rep, and build process-driven routines that hold up when the stakes rise. We explore the hidden cost of mental fatigue, how to protect cognitive energy over 18 holes, and the psychological "skill-development lag" that frustrates so many golfers chasing progress. Andrew also explains the three-step framework to reframe destructive self-talk, find safety in discomfort, and make your best golf automatic under pressure—whether you're grinding for your first club championship or a tour card. In this episode, you'll learn: What "playing with freedom" actually means—and how to create it on demand How to add consequence to practice so it transfers under pressure The accountability hacks that keep you in the hard reps (where skill grows) A simple blueprint for durable pre-shot and pre-round routines How to spot and reframe irrational self-talk in real time Managing cognitive energy and decision fatigue across 18 holes Why process beats results—and how to believe it when scores matter Get your pencils ready and start listening.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Practice like you play: Bring course elements (targets, variability, consequence) to the range so pressure isn't a surprise. Add consequence: Games with "must-complete" tasks (e.g., 3 fairways in a row) simulate tournament feels. Quality beats quantity: Short, intense, focused sessions > marathon ball-beating. Protect cognitive energy: Strong routines reduce decision fatigue and steady your state under stress. Reframe the story: Emotions come from interpretation; catch absolutes ("always/never") and replace them with rational truth. Calibrate emotion: Even "negative" emotions can be adaptive when properly dialed. Detach from score: Commit to the shot in front of you; outcome improves as a byproduct. Key Quotes: "Make practice look like the golf course, not the course look like practice." "Consequence is the fastest way to simulate pressure." "The hard, uncomfortable reps are where skill is actually built." "Pick a target, visualize, commit—that's the billboard I'd put on every tee." "It's not the first tee that makes you anxious; it's the story you tell yourself about it." "Process is part of outcome—not something separate from it." "There's a skill-development lag: keep going through it instead of restarting with a new method."

Going Pro Yoga (Formerly the Yoga Teacher Evolution Podcast)
What if chasing “one more healing” is the very thing keeping you from feeling whole??In this episode, Byron and Michael look at the fine line between helpful practice and healing addiction. They name the hidden driver—pain and disconnection—and how it can turn breathwork, plant medicine, and nonstop workshops into a spin cycle that never truly lands. Byron questions the inner program of “I am broken,” and offers a reframe: protect your energy with gentleness, boundaries, and integration—letting insights settle before reaching for the next fix. They contrast feminine healing (feeling, processing) with masculine commitment (clear intentions, follow-through), reminding us both are needed. Instead of digging forever, he suggests real-time healing: slow enough to notice what's alive now, journal it, meet responsibilities, and return to it with honesty. The heart of his message: stop outsourcing your power to healers or methods; claim your own change. If you've ever felt stuck in “just one more ceremony/class/session,” this conversation gently opens the door out.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:26 Addiction vs. Habit00:05:31 Pain, Disconnection, and the Void00:07:49 Dopamine, Sugar, Coffee, and Phones00:10:27 When Healing Becomes a Spin Cycle00:13:46 The “I Am Broken” Program00:16:15 Gentleness Without Bypassing00:18:08 Self-Talk, Journaling, Therapy00:21:10 Ahimsa & Svadhyaya in Practice00:27:03 Intention, Commitment, and Balance00:28:36 Integration > Endless Doing00:35:11 Real-Time Healing00:39:31 Altered States vs. Slowing Down00:41:07 Pedestals, Gurus & Claiming Your Power00:44:13 No Finish Line; Keep It Human00:46:10 Closing—-------—-------—-

Ever have that frustrating feeling where the technique you JUST drilled disappears the second you start sparring?It's one of the biggest challenges in Muay Thai. We're all taught to train hard, but we rarely talk about how to train smart.The truth is, elite performance is just as much a psychological skill as it is a physical one.

Have you made any excuses lately?I'm too tired.I'll do it later.I don't have time right now.We've all done it.This week, on Episode #178 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're talking about self-talk, self-care, and the excuses we all make … something that feels especially real this time of year.You know the feeling — the days get shorter, our energy dips, the to-do list grows, and suddenly everything feels a little heavier. And in the middle of all that, our excuses start popping up… sometimes loud, sometimes subtle, sometimes surprisingly reasonable.Instead of shaming ourselves for our excuses, start seeing them as messages. Are we actually avoiding something, or are we genuinely tired? Is it really about time… or is it about energy?We also get into how our self-talk shapes those moments — that inner voice that pushes us one minute and pampers us the next. When we slow down and really listen to it, things start to make more sense and feel less like a battle with ourselves.So, notice your self-talk, listen to your excuses with curiosity, and let self-care be a steady rhythm — not another task. Being present with yourself is enough.Lorrie xoxoxOn this episode:FREE Fit, Fearless & Fabulous Holiday Planning Guide: Find it hereLoving the show? Let's connect!

In this episode, you'll learn: How to become your own best friend and master self-talk. The difference between a tournament golfer and a golfer who plays tournaments. How to manage results-oriented thinking under pressure. The role of process, pre-shot routines, and breathing in performance. Why honesty and reflection are key to consistent improvement.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Longevity in golf—and life—comes from perspective, self-compassion, and gratitude. Be your own best friend. The relationship you have with yourself defines performance. Talk to yourself like someone you care about: first person, not third person. Focus on intermediate goals to avoid burnout and stay emotionally steady. Failure is a teacher, not a threat—learn, adapt, and build resilience. Honesty is the foundation of growth; surround yourself with people who tell you the truth. Process beats pressure: control what you can, trust what you've practiced. Breathing and a consistent pre-shot routine are your anchors under stress. Tournament golfers don't make excuses—they take ownership and stay adaptable. Gratitude keeps you grounded. "If you don't have gratitude, you're not paying attention." Key Quotes: "It's not what you say to everyone else—it's what you whisper to yourself. "The longest relationship you'll ever have is with yourself. Be your own best friend." "Most success stories are built on overwhelming amounts of failure." "Winning is affirmation—but it's short-lived. The real victory is showing up again tomorrow." "Don't worry about it. Nobody really cares that much." "Tournament golfers don't believe in bad breaks—they just play the next shot."

This Magic Monday, we explore the power of your inner narrator - that subtle voice shaping the story of who you believe you are.Through the lens of both psychology and spirituality, I unpack how this inner storyteller is formed, why your brain clings to familiar stories (hello, narrative identity & confirmation bias), and how neuroplasticity allows you to rewire your self-talk one thought at a time.With gentle psychology, soulful reframing, and moonlit reflection, this episode reminds you that you're not just the character - you're the author. And it's time to choose a kinder tone.
