What if the key to success and happiness isn't working harder, but finally understanding how you're wired to thrive? Many people unknowingly work against their own strengths and personality, leading to stress, stalled career growth, and strained relationships. In this episode, you'll learn how to uncover obstacles, unlock your personal greatness, and start living in your type of working genius. Burnout doesn't always come from doing too much. Often, it comes from spending too much time doing the kind of work that drains you. Patrick Lencioni and I talk about why stress, frustration, and self-criticism are frequent signals of misalignment rather than failure, and how understanding your natural skills can change the way you work, lead, and relate to the people you love. Patrick is the creator of the Working Genius assessment and author of The Six Types of Working Genius. Together, we explore how the Working Genius framework helps people understand their strengths, release shame around what feels hard, and create healthier relationships at work and at home. We also talk about why rest alone doesn't resolve burnout, and why doing more of the right kind of work often restores energy, confidence, and momentum. As you listen, you may find yourself reconsidering long-held beliefs about success, productivity, and what you “should” be good at, and noticing where clarity could replace stress.

Patrick created the Working Genius assessment to help you discover what kind of work gives you energy and what drains it.

How often is this happening? What is the prompt that's happening here? And how do I remove the prompt? Right? How do I evolve, change the scenario or change the setting? Lesley Logan 0:12  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:52  Hi, Be It babe. We're here to talk about how to break a bad habit. Oh, actually, strike that. Reverse it. It is how to unravel a habit we no longer want. Specific like specificity in words matters. And when I studied habits, and I was studying and reading BJ's book, Tiny Habits, and then doing his program, it was so cool to hear that there's no such thing as a bad habit. All right, there's no such thing as a bad habit. There's only habits that no longer serve us, but at some point they did. Lesley Logan 1:25  If you are new to the podcast, hello, I'm Lesley Logan, and we are in the middle of a habits series. And so normally, with our episodes, I'm like, listen to whatever you want. Go back and forth. When we're in the series, I might, I would suggest you go to the first episode on Habits. Um, it's several episodes back. We're almost, we're halfway through, basically, the Habits series. And this is a series I want you to be able to come back to whenever you want to add in a new habit. So you definitely want to check in with number one, so we can get here. But it this episode itself might be something you will listen to over and over again, because you might come across habits that no longer serve you. And the reason I say that is, at some point, a habit, something became a habit because it was serving you at the time, and then it kind of got out of hand, right? Maybe eating lunch at your desk like was something you had to do because you were in a busy work week, and then it just became something you always did. And you are now feeling quite lonely, because you're not going out and having lunch with friends, because you have this habit of eating lunch at your desk. So there's nothing wrong with eating lunch at your desk, right? There's actually, there's like at its at its just surface level. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's no longer serving you, and then you have to break this habit, right? And so that would be really weird, because how do you break up with lunch? When you need to eat you need to eat. So the truth is, is that there's the way, the reason that BJ Fogg talked about unraveling a habit that no longer works is that there was a series of events that got you to the habit that you have, and there's a prompt that goes off that causes you to do the thing that you no longer want to do. It's not a bell, but you can think of it like a bell. There's a prompt that happens. So for example, if every time your boss calls, you bite your nails, the prompt to biting your nails started with your boss, it's your boss calling, right? Now, we can't stop your boss from calling, but knowing what the prompt is allows us to kind of understand, like, what can we do? So if you're looking at your life and they're looking at the things that you're like, oh, I wish I could change. I wish I didn't, like, have a second with my clients. And she was like, yeah, I find myself munching after dinner even though I'm not hungry. And so, by the way, there's like, again, there's nothing wrong with munching after dinner, but she no longer wants to munch up, and it's affecting her sleep. It's affecting the goals that she has, the energy she has in the morning, it's no longer working for her. So I told her, I said, well, we have to review, like, what is the prompt to grabbing the extra snacks? Like, is there a phone call? Is there a text? Is there a show you watch? Where are, where, where are you having the extra snacks, like, what's going on that this, that this prompt started? So she just sort of evaluate, like, what was her mind going through? And she realized it's kind of when she, like, is just scrolling on social with the TV going that she wants to munch, right? So she's actually just not really even being present. And so once you know, kind of, like the promptness at the situation that we can actually make decisions on what we're going to do to unravel this. In my example of the boss calls you bite your nails, we can't actually stop the boss from calling, most likely. So that prompt isn't something we can remove, but if the prompt is something you could remove, right, then you would just remove the prompt. Like, where you try to remove the prompt, right? So if, like, oh, you know, like the, everytime I watch this TV show, then I, then I sit and have a bag of chips. We could just remove the, in theory, remove the chips or the TV show. The problem with some of the removals of prompts is it, it creates a suction, a vacuum, right? That makes you want to do it more. Lesley Logan 4:57  In BJ's book, he talked about this woman who want didn't want to eat at her like, like, she was just munching at her desk. And so it's like, munching, like, candy or whatever at her desk. And so, of course, people be like, well, just don't buy the candy. Okay, so she didn't, and then she found herself wanting something to do at her desk, because she's had this habit of, like, having these M&M's at her desk. So she ended up going to the vending machine and getting, like, a couple candy bars, which was more than the couple of M&M's that she ate at her desk. And so that's that's what I'm saying when, like, you just take the thing away, it creates a vacuum that's actually a bit more powerful because your brain is thinking about it. So, so what ended up working for this person was actually to buy carrots and celery and other things that are like would you can deem a little bit more healthier as snacks at her desk. So she still snacks at her desk. We can't remove that she's at her desk. We can't remove that she's at work. We can't remove the stress at work. So we're just swapping out the habit for something else that she feels would serve her better, those those things, that those foods, that would give her more energy. Lesley Logan 6:00  So in your life, what are some habits you want to unravel? I mentioned in the first episode, like, I do play a video game, and I probably play a little more than I that I need to, and it's affecting my ability to read more, right? And I'm also wanting to start. I've been wanting to I've been studying tarot. I like to call it tarot, because my friend called it tarot, tarot, right? And so I've got this study book that I've got, and I've been playing with different apps that you can use to study tarot, because clearly, like, I'm with my phone, the reason the prompt is I'm in line usually, or sitting in the car, we're in traffic or and Brad's on a call. Like, there's I'm bored, right? I'm bored, and my phone is a thing that I have. I'm in a doctor's office waiting to be called. Like, yes, I could bring up a book around with me everywhere, but I actually don't carry a purse that often. So, so what if I don't want to play the video game anymore? I could swap it for one of these apps that helps me study tarot, right? So that's a case of like, okay, here's a habit I don't like about myself, and I when do I do it? Okay, this is when I do it. So the prompt is usually boredom. So let's replace it with something we do want to do, and then make that the new habit. Now, going back to Episode One, how do we make things a habit. We have to celebrate that we like doing it, that we're doing it. We have to acknowledge when we're doing it. right, all that kind of stuff. So whenever you were replacing something, it doesn't just become the new habit. You do have to go through the steps that we talked about in the first three episodes on the series, but you replace it with the habit you no longer want with something else. Lesley Logan 7:38  If you are in an instance where you can unravel the habit, right? You can really figure out, like, what the prompt is, oh, the prompt is, you know, I get, like, let's get an example of a prompt you can control. After I get home from work, I sit down on the couch and I veg out. So the prompt is that you get home from work and you sit down, right? So we can unravel that by, well, what if you actually went somewhere else before you got home, right? What if you just didn't go straight home? Oh, you have to go straight home because you've got kiddos. Okay. Then what can you do with your kiddo that could replace the opportunity to sit down on the couch? So we just need to get keep you from the couch with using another habit. We got to change the prompt. Is this making sense? So it is complicated. Some people's habits are really difficult. They have immersed themselves in their lives. We're talking like smoking or drinking, maybe negative self-talk, right? You want to unravel negative self-talk, you have to first notice what the prompt is, what goes off in your day that becomes the thing that goes ding? I've talked badly about myself right now, right? Like, that's hard. We have to those ones that are a little bit more omnipresent. They kind of come with us on a lot of different places. We have to just actually go, okay, hold on. How often is happening? What is the prompt that's happening here, and how do I remove the prompt? Right? How do I evolve, change the scenario or change the setting? Lesley Logan 9:11  In the first three episodes, I talked about, when you make a habit like, you also want to make sure that, like, where the habit is happening, your day is like, in the same place, like, if you want to actually be working out, but you are at work. Like, the habits not going to necessarily work, right? If you want to clean the kitchen, but you're, you're, you're usually in the garage at that time, it's going to be really hard for you to, like, get to the kitchen. I know that sounds like crazy. Some kitchen, the garages are next to each other, but, like, there, you'd be surprised, the effort that feels like a lot. So in all these cases, just taking in the time to go, what is starting the domino to the habit that no longer serves me? And then where is the scenario happening? Is it a location? Can I avoid that location? Yes, we can block and bless people who like are mean to us. And then that causes things like, maybe you're, you got someone in your family that whenever they call, you're just so stressed out afterwards, and so you're like, oh, I need a drink. And so, like, that's the prompt. But the reality is is like many of us are not gonna not talk to our family members, many of us are actually gonna take the call. So what do you do if you have that? Well, there was this really cool instance where BJ talked about this woman who was avoiding talk taking calls with her soon to be ex-husband, was making the divorce drag on. And she was doing that because every time talk to him, would stress her out, so she wouldn't talk to him. And then, of course, like they're not divorced, right? So basically, she made a new decision. She said, okay, every time I get on the phone with him to talk about these things I'm going to immediately book myself something that I want to do. So then she actually looked forward to every time he called, because it's like, okay, I took this call. I get to go book buy myself movie tickets that movie I wanted to see. Oh, I get to get my nails done. Oh, I get to book that massage. Like she just started rewarding herself with things that she wanted to do. It made the phone calls so much easier to get through, because she knew as soon as she got off she was doing something fun for herself. It made the divorce happen sooner. So if you can't avoid certain prompts that cause certain stresses or negative self-talk or or feelings you no longer want to have, what can we change that we do in the after part and make that the habit, and then take that, go back to Episode One and run through the process. Every time there's a habit you want to create, we have to go back to Episode One and run through the process, because we might think we know what's going to work. But then when you actually sit down and you look at like, okay, is that easy or hard to do? Is it easy for me to book myself a facial? Yeah, right? Or like, or do I want to? Yes. Can I afford to? Ooh, maybe that makes it harder. So maybe that's not the thing. Every time I talk to my brother who's stressing me out, I'm gonna book myself a facial. That might not be an option, but maybe you always get to go on a hike, right? Or maybe you get to, maybe you get to, you know, go read a book. Or maybe you call, maybe you have, like, some music that you play. This house, whenever we have a big work thing going on that causes a little anxiety, a little nervousness, a little like, oh, I don't know if this is gonna work. I don't know what to do. We actually have a YouTube video that we play, and we play it and it just her voice, calms my nerves, right, her her message, like, lifts my spirits. And by the end, I'm like, I'm ready to do it. I'm ready to do the thing. And so I would just say, like, this part of the habits building does take some self-awareness, huge self-awareness, but also it requires us to explore, like, what is it that we really want? And and it also requires us to to really be honest and take a 30,000 foot view of the things we no longer want. It's so easy to beat ourselves up for the habits you don't like about yourself, reading your email at night, right? If that's a habit that you have, you no longer want Sure. We could just say, don't look at your phone at night. Okay, but then what are you going to do? Because it creates a vacuum. So what are the what is the prompt that makes you open your phone? Can we remove that prompt? Okay, no, we have to have the phone because, like, you have a partner who works late, okay, oan we remove email from your phone? Can we set up apps that allow, that work, that don't allow you to open up your email on your phone after a certain hour? Okay, great. All these things are great ideas, but then, because this is a habit, and because it's going to be plaguing your brain to check that email and you're just going to go to your computer to check it, what can you do instead? How can we replace it so we don't have this void that causes a lot of pull like a magnetized pool? What do you want to do instead? If you aren't checking email at night, what are you doing? So something that I replace, like checking my phone at night with, is actually, one, I take a nice, long shower with, Epsom salt scrub, not a bath, an Epsom salt scrub. Oh my God, I love it. That's one of the really wonderful episodes we did with Rachel Varga. And then, two, I put my red light masks on. I have to lay in my bed with my clean face, my clean chest. I have to lay in my bed for 10 minutes so I can't I can't check my emails. I can't read them. I'm laying in my bed with my red lights on. And then by the time that's over, I'm so tired, it's enough just to get the last moisturizer thing on my face before I fall asleep. Right? So if you have things you want to remove from your life, it is a weave. It's a web that's been woven. So what were the strands that got you to where you are? How do we take those things? How do we untangle this mess? And then what are we gonna place it with that you want to do? Go back through episode one through three, and then you can come back here and work on the next one. These things can take time, so be kind to yourself. Remember celebrations do matter. Shame and judgment do not create habits, nor will they help you unravel a habit.Lesley Logan 15:01  All right. So in our next episode, we are going to talk about just some things to like consider when it comes to making a habit, because I think it's really easy for perfectionism to get in the way. So we're talking about that. And then we'll also go into Episode Six will just be a bit more about how habits can help you be it till you see it. I mean, after all, that's what this podcast is about. Lesley Logan 15:19  If this was helpful. If the series has been helpful, I would it would mean the world to me. If you would send it to a friend. It really the this podcast, the growth of this podcast, it really matters, one, for us to keep doing it. And two, if we want bigger guests, like some of you, have sent me some amazing guests, and I'm like, oh my God, I love that. You think I'm that huge. We definitely have to be huge. So we're getting there. We are getting there so mighty. And it means the world to me that you're listening. And I can't wait to keep growing with you. I can't wait to be it until we see it with you.

John and Jenny discuss how purity culture in evangelical and high-control Christian spaces turns bodies into commodities, fuses "holiness" with racial anxiety, and leaves survivors carrying crushing shame. They trace the roots of modern purity teaching through abstinence-only campaigns, racialized myths about "protecting" white women, and high-demand groups shaped by Branhamism and Christian identity rhetoric, highlighting how fear-based sermons and public shaming deform both faith and embodiment.Drawing on Jenny's therapeutic work and John's historical research, they talk about consent, autonomy, and why healthy boundaries are different from rigid rules, offering language for people who still value faith but are done with spiritualized control. Whether you grew up in modesty talks, pledge rallies, or holiness churches--or you love someone who did--this conversation names the harm, honors survivors' stories, and points toward practical pathways for healing in "really good bodies" that are never damaged goods.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

Why does food feel so much louder, heavier and more emotional during perimenopause and menopause - especially at times of celebration? Food isn't just food during perimenopause — it can carry guilt, anxiety, nostalgia and shame, all wrapped up in hormonal change and nervous system overload. In this episode, we gently unpack the unspoken relationship many women have with food during menopause, why festive and celebratory eating can feel so triggering, and how food noise is not a failure of willpower but a biological and emotional response.

Margo Tantau is joined by artist, tax expert, and founder of Sunlight Tax, Hannah Cole, for a refreshingly human conversation about money, creativity, and her new book, Taxes for Humans: Simplify Your Taxes and Change the World When You're Self-Employed. Hannah brings compassion, clarity, and humor to a topic many creatives carry shame, fear, or confusion around—and reframes taxes as something that can actually support creative, mission-driven work rather than stifle it. Margo and Hannah discuss: Why creative work is economically vital and plays a real role in shaping culture How the tax system is designed for humans—not perfection—and includes room for forgiveness Simple, realistic systems that make taxes easier for self-employed creatives Tax incentives that actually exist to support artists and independent workers How money shame shows up for creatives, and why it's completely normal Why making mistakes with taxes doesn't mean you're "bad at money" How compassion and clarity can coexist with practical financial systems Connect with Hannah: Book + Workbook: https://www.sunlighttax.com/book Website: https://www.sunlighttax.com Instagram / YouTube / LinkedIn: @sunlighttax Connect with Margo: Website: www.windowsillchats.com Instagram: @windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill https://www.yourtantaustudio.com/thefoundry

The Stories We Tell Ourselves: How Meaning, Shame, and Assumptions Shape Our Relationships Summary In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and licensed clinical social worker Marianne Michaelis explore the powerful—and often invisible—stories we tell ourselves about who we are and how others see us. Even when people share the same experience, their interpretations can be radically different, shaped by past wounds, shame, fear, and unmet needs. Through clinical examples, personal stories, and everyday moments of misunderstanding, they unpack how the brain naturally fills in gaps to create meaning—and how those meanings can quietly dictate our emotions, reactions, and relationships. The conversation highlights common shame-based narratives such as “I'm too much,” “I'm not enough,”or “I don't matter,” and how these stories become internalized as truth over time. Dr. Skinner and Marianne emphasize the importance of awareness, fact-checking, emotional ownership, and curiosity—both toward ourselves and others. Healing begins when we slow down, speak our stories in safe places, challenge old assumptions, and allow compassion to replace judgment. The episode closes with an invitation to approach others—and ourselves—with deeper curiosity, asking not “What's wrong?” but “What's the story?” Resources & References Skinner, K. – Treating Trauma from Sexual Betrayal Tutu, D. & Tutu, M. – The Book of Forgiveness Brown, B. – I Thought It Was Just Me (But It Isn't) Siegel, D. – Mindsight Human Intimacy Podcast – Episode on Emotional Ownership Journaling as a tool for emotional processing and self-reflection Concepts referenced: Shame narratives Emotional ownership Fact-checking internal stories Fight-or-flight responses and meaning-making Compassion vs. judgment The Human Intimacy 2nd Annual Conference (discount 50% off Coupon Code = 50off

In this powerful episode, retired fire captain Rick Cheatham opens up about a hidden crisis in the fire service—addiction, shame, and the mental health struggles no one talks about. Rick shares his personal battle with pornography addiction, rooted in childhood pain and magnified by the trauma of the job. With brutal honesty, he describes how his double life nearly destroyed his marriage, and how healing came only when he chose radical honesty and mentorship over silence and shame. This conversation is vital for every first responder, leader, and husband struggling to hold it all together. If you've ever wondered how to rebuild trust, find peace, and transform your pain into purpose—this is the episode you need to hear. ABOUT RICK CHEATHAM Rick Cheatham served the city of Anaheim for 25 years as a firefighter and fire captain, retiring in 2020. Beneath the uniform, however, Rick silently battled a devastating addiction rooted in childhood trauma and the accumulated emotional toll of service. After nearly losing his marriage, Rick embarked on a years-long journey of healing—through coaching, mentorship, radical honesty, and spiritual transformation. Now living in Nashville, Rick dedicates his life to helping firefighter husbands overcome their own battles with addiction and shame, guiding them toward restoration, trust, and purpose. His mission is clear: to break the silence, heal the pain, and help men become the husbands and fathers they were meant to be. https://rickcheatham.com/ +++++ FIRST RESPONDER WELLNESS PODCAST Register for the First Responder Leadership Mastermind here: https://firstresponderwellness.co/masterclass/ Order the PTSD911 Film and Educational Toolkit here: https://ptsd911movie.com/toolkit/ Web site:  https://ptsd911movie.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ptsd911movie/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ptsd911movie/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClQ8jxjxYqHgFQixBK4Bl0Q Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/first-responder-wellness-podcast/id1535675703 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wW72dLZOKkO1QYUPzL2ih Purchase the PTSD911 film for your public safety agency or organization: https://ptsd911movie.com/toolkit/ The First Responder Wellness Podcast is a production of ConjoStudios, LLC Copyright ©2025 ConjoStudios, LLC - All rights Reserved.

Chewing and spitting is an eating disorder behavior that often remains hidden due to intense shame and misunderstanding. Many people do not know how to talk about it, and many providers never ask. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller offers a clear, compassionate explanation of chewing and spitting in eating disorders, naming why this behavior develops and why it deserves nuanced care rather than judgment. This episode centers eating disorder recovery, ARFID, neurodivergent sensory experiences with food, and the nervous system roots of eating behaviors that are often moralized or overlooked. Why Chewing and Spitting Is So Often Misunderstood Chewing and spitting is frequently framed as a single behavior with a single cause. This narrow understanding creates harm. When providers assume chewing and spitting always reflects restriction or compensatory behavior, people with ARFID and sensory-based eating challenges are misdiagnosed or pressured into unsafe treatment. When providers minimize chewing and spitting in restrictive eating disorders, people lose access to support at moments of increasing distress. This episode explains why chewing and spitting must be understood through multiple pathways to ensure accurate diagnosis and ethical care. Pathway One: Chewing and Spitting in Restrictive and Compensatory Eating Disorders In restrictive or compensatory eating disorders, chewing and spitting often functions as a way to avoid swallowing food while still experiencing taste. It may emerge during periods of significant restriction, intense hunger, or fear of weight gain. Some people use chewing and spitting to interrupt binge urges or as a purge-adjacent behavior. In this pathway, the behavior reflects deprivation, internal conflict, and rising eating disorder severity. Shame, secrecy, and fear of judgment frequently follow, making it harder for individuals to seek support or speak openly about what they are experiencing. Pathway Two: Chewing and Spitting in ARFID and Neurodivergent Sensory-Based Eating Chewing and spitting can also emerge in ARFID and neurodivergent sensory-based eating for reasons entirely unrelated to weight or dieting. In this pathway, the behavior reflects sensory overwhelm, swallowing discomfort, texture sensitivity, interoceptive differences, or nervous system safety needs. Autistic and ADHD individuals may chew food to explore taste while spitting to avoid gagging, panic, or sensory overload. When this pathway is misunderstood as compensatory eating disorder behavior, people often feel pathologized rather than supported. This episode explains how sensory wiring, disability, and safety needs shape this experience. Why Differentiating These Two Pathways Matters in Recovery Accurately identifying the function of chewing and spitting is essential for healing. Restrictive and compensatory pathways require approaches that address deprivation, shame, trauma, and rigid food rules. Sensory-based pathways require approaches that build safety, honor autonomy, and work with the nervous system rather than against it. Dr. Marianne explains why a one-size-fits-all model fails and how differentiation creates clarity, trust, and more sustainable eating disorder recovery. Intersectionality, Bias, and Systemic Harm This episode also explores how anti-fat bias, racism, ableism, and medical bias shape who receives care and who gets believed. People in larger bodies often experience intense pressure to restrict, which can intensify chewing and spitting behaviors. People of color frequently face delayed or missed eating disorder diagnoses. Neurodivergent individuals are often misunderstood or dismissed when their eating challenges are sensory-based. Understanding chewing and spitting requires naming these systemic harms rather than blaming individuals. A Compassionate Path Forward Chewing and spitting is not a moral failure or a sign of weakness. It is a behavior rooted in nervous system responses, lived experience, and survival. This episode offers language, validation, and clarity for anyone who has struggled with chewing and spitting, supported someone who has, or wants a more nuanced understanding of eating disorders and ARFID. Healing begins with understanding, safety, and compassion. About Dr. Marianne Miller Dr. Marianne Miller is a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in eating disorder recovery, ARFID, binge eating, and neurodivergent-affirming therapy. She offers therapy for individuals in California, Texas, and Washington D.C., and teaches the self-paced, virtual ARFID and Selective Eating Course.

Most men don't struggle with porn addiction because they lack discipline.They struggle because they were never taught how to understand, regulate, or work with their emotions.In this episode, I sit down with Rich Savoy—a coach, leader with Husband Material, and longtime mentor to men—to have one of the most honest conversations I've ever had about men, emotions, masculinity, and porn addiction recovery. We go beneath behavior and willpower and into the emotional and psychological roots that quietly keep men stuck in the cycle of shame, relapse, and self-criticism.If you've tried to quit porn and found yourself asking “Why do I keep going back?”—this episode will give you clarity, relief, and a new path forward.In this conversation, we explore:Why porn addiction is rarely about sex—and almost always about emotional painHow emotional suppression and shame fuel compulsive porn use in menThe difference between healthy masculinity and the “man box” most of us were raised inWhy willpower fails and emotional intelligence changes everythingHow Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work explain porn addiction at the rootWhy the part of you that turns to porn isn't broken—and what it's actually trying to protectWe also talk candidly about firefighter parts, shame cycles, emotional avoidance, and why many faith-based or performance-driven recovery approaches unintentionally make porn addiction worse.This episode is for men who are tired of fighting themselves.Men who want to overcome porn addiction without shame.Men who are ready to reclaim masculinity through presence, emotional awareness, and self-leadership—not suppression.If you've ever felt trapped between wanting to be strong and feeling deeply human at the same time, this conversation will resonate.Resources mentioned:Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapyNo Bad Parts by Dr. Richard SchwartzAltogether You by Jenna RiemersmaBoundaries for Your Soul by Kim MillerPodcasts and teachings from Drew Boa and Husband MaterialIf this episode helped you, I'd encourage you to listen with an open mind—and share it with a man who needs to hear that he's not broken, weak, or beyond hope.Porn addiction recovery is possible.And it starts with emotional healing.Explore more of Rich's work at:https://www.husbandmaterial.com/Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeIf you're ready to build the mindset and lifestyle that lead to long-term freedom from porn addiction, visit NoMoreDesire.com and apply for my 1-on-1 Porn Addiction Recovery Coaching Program.

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Pastor Matt joins the show to unpack some of the most challenging topics facing believers today — navigating suffering, understanding the “why” behind pain, and fighting the growing epidemic of sexual sin in the church. He shares the story of losing his daughter Sarah, how he processed grief without losing his faith, and why choosing peace over understanding is essential for spiritual maturity. Pastor Matt also delivers a masterclass on the fear of the Lord, spiritual authority, purity, neural pathways, and the unseen spiritual dynamics behind sexual temptation. This episode is a rare blend of raw vulnerability, theological depth, and extremely practical wisdom for anyone seeking freedom and a deeper relationship with God. This is one of the most important and transformative conversations we've ever had on the podcast.   Know more about Sathiya's work: Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This   Chapters: (00:00) Introduction & Pastor Matt's Background (04:00) The Cost of Leadership & Staying in Your Calling (06:00) Losing His Daughter & Processing Pain with God (08:00) Should We Ask God “Why”?

This week, I did something that felt incredibly vulnerable. I voiced a desire—openly, bravely—and then had to sit in the discomfort of waiting. That space between expression and response cracked me wide open. In this solo episode, I take you inside that raw experience and reflect on how I've spent most of my life suppressing my desires because they never felt safe to have.I explore how childhood messaging shaped my relationship with longing, why desire became tangled with shame, and how so many of us were taught that being “good” meant not needing anything. I share what it's taken for me to slowly reclaim the right to want, to feel, to long for more without fear of rejection. We'll talk about the difference between desire and control, the nervous system's response to not being met, and how learning to sit in our longing—without shrinking or numbing—can be the most liberating act of self-love.This is an intimate conversation about emotional maturity, the pain of unmet needs, and the sacredness of choosing to feel it all. If you've ever been told you're “too much,” or found yourself performing perfection to avoid discomfort, I hope this episode makes you feel a little more seen, held, and empowered.Connect with me:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“Desire itself isn't painful.

Jason is getting closer to the truth about Britt, but not in a very Jason way. She caught him snooping around! Shame on you, Jason. And Tracy is back! She found out about Ned's little visit to GH, but thankfully didn't yell at everybody too much. Rocco has been spared more jailtime, which, let's face it, he wouldn't have survived. Also, Valentin is settling in at Carly's, and apparently has the palate of a child. Plus, Portia is boxed in by boys. And Trina. And Kevin is getting right up in Sidwell's business! Be careful, Kevin! But also, good for you, sir, backing up Laura. Let's take care of this guy quickly, please. Rest in peace, Anthony Geary.  #mauricebenard  #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner  #nicholaschavez #afterlife #rickygervais #hallandoates #superstore #freaksandgeeks #freefallin #alanarkin #newgirl #lamornemorris #colonoscopy #takethenap #alleymills #billylibby #chickadee #fortgorgeous #robertgossett #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #marcuscoloma #useastaplegun #riptwitch #ripepiphany #ripsonyaeddy  #waywardchickadee #barshampoo #ripmiffy #lovedogs #justinebateman #brookeshields #neilgaiman #dnice #cq #deborahcox #malcolmjamalwarner #lume #godzillaminusone #ripjacklynzeman #jasonmomoa #adambelanoff #thecloser #majorcrimes #wings #murphybrown #thecosbyshow #pinkalicious #ripbillymiller #ripmatthewperry #riptylerchristopher #riplesliecharleson #ripandrebraugher #ripjohnnywactor #dutchbarnvodka #chadduell #rickygervaisrobot #colinfromaccounts

Body Image, Shame, and Feeling Good in the Skin You're In Body image struggles are not about vanity — they are about safety, belonging, and the stories we learn to tell ourselves about our worth. In this bitesize 20 minute episode, clinical psychologist Dr Laura Williams explores the emotional and psychological roots of body image, how shame becomes intertwined with how we see ourselves, and what it can actually mean to feel more at ease in the skin you're in — without pressure to love or fix your body. This is a compassionate, psychology-led conversation about understanding your body image rather than fighting it, and about creating safety and self-respect from the inside out. You'll hear: Why body image is rarely about appearance alone How shame shapes our relationship with our bodies Why self-criticism doesn't lead to change Gentle, realistic ways to feel more settled in your body ✨ Free accompanying workbook To support this episode, you can download the free body image workbook here:

Reflection can be uncomfortable, especially when the year did not go the way you planned.In this episode, I walk through why reflection is meant to create clarity, not self-punishment. The last month of the year often magnifies comparison, pressure, and second-guessing, but none of those move you forward. What does move you forward is learning the lesson, releasing the shame, and continuing to take action anyway.We talk about why you do not need a new year to create a new outcome, why readiness is a myth, and why discipline and consistency matter more than motivation. Whether this year felt successful, disappointing, or somewhere in between, your experience still holds value if you extract the lesson without letting it define you.In this episode, you will learn how to:Reflect without turning the past into regretSeparate emotion from execution while honoring bothDrop shame without avoiding accountabilityBuild momentum through small, consistent actionsFinish the year strong without burnout or pressureMove forward with clarity instead of comparisonThis conversation reframes reflection as a tool for alignment, not judgment. Progress does not require perfection, a fresh calendar, or the right feeling. It requires one decision, one action, and the willingness to move forward differently.Take the lesson. Drop the shame.

When Jennifer was asked how she felt getting her cancer diagnosis, her first word was not "scared," it was "shame." If you have ever felt like your emotions are too much, or you started processing feelings only to end up in pain, fatigue, or shutdown, this second part of our emotional expression series is for you. In part two of this essential two-part series on emotional health and post-traumatic growth, Co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof (founder of BrainBased.com) and Jennifer Wallace (Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide) are joined again by Applied Neurology Expert and NSI Educator, Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro. Building on Part 1's conversation about anger, they explore how grief, shame, and positive emotions show up in the nervous system. You will hear real client stories where simple drills or balance work brought repressed emotions to the surface, why grief can feel like "phantom limb pain" for the brain, and how shame is intertwined with freeze responses and the inner critic. The trio shares minimum-effective-dose practices for grief, anger, and even joy, so emotional expression becomes regulating instead of destabilizing and opens the door to genuine post-traumatic growth. Timestamps: 00:00 — Diagnosis, shame and "too much" emotion 06:40 — When drills and bodywork unexpectedly unleash rage or tears 16:20 — Emotional expression that leads to pain, migraines or shutdown 24:45 — Grief as "phantom limb pain" and how loss impacts the body 35:10 — Chronic pain, bracing patterns and emotional repression 44:30 — Shame, freeze and the inner critic's "always and forever" story 58:00 — Minimum-effective-dose grief work and nature as co-regulator 1:09:30 — Making joy, pleasure and intimacy safe for the nervous system 1:19:30 — Daily neurosomatic practice, post-traumatic growth and closing reflections Key Takeaways: Emotional expression can bring on protective outputs like pain, fatigue, inflammation or shutdown when the body does not yet feel safe. Grief often functions like phantom limb pain: the brain must remap after a loss, which can show up in mood, immunity and body sensations. Shame and freeze are tightly linked; the inner critic's absolute "I am / I'll never" language reflects threat perception, not truth. Minimum-effective-dose practices for anger and grief, wrapped in front- and back-end regulation tools, help the nervous system learn that expression is safe. Positive emotions such as joy, pleasure and intimacy can also feel threatening and benefit from being approached in small, titrated doses that build capacity.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Laura Modi — co-founder & CEO of Bobbie — to talk through everything parents actually need to know about infant formula, without the fear, guilt, or internet panic. Laura breaks down formula in a way that finally makes sense: what it is, how it's designed to mimic breast milk, how to read ingredient labels, and which things actually matter (+which ones parents can stop spiraling about). We also get into why formulas that look nearly identical can be priced so differently, whether European formulas are really “better” than U.S. formulas, and why seed oils have become such a hot-button topic in this space. We also talk openly about recalls, safety standards, switching formulas, and the emotional weight that comes with feeding decisions — including the guilt and pressure so many parents experience when breastfeeding doesn't go as planned or when formula ends up being the right choice for their family (because feeding your baby should not feel like a moral test). If you've ever stood in the formula aisle feeling overwhelmed, gone down an ingredient-label rabbit hole, or wondered if you're “doing it right” (you are) — this episode is here to bring clarity, confidence, and a whole lot of relief (and maybe help you close 17 browser tabs).

Depression tanks your libido. Then you finally get help with antidepressants—and your sex drive tanks even more. If this is you, you're not broken. You're dealing with a real, common side effect that nobody wants to talk about.In this episode, I break down the double whammy of depression and SSRIs on your sex life: how depression shuts down motivation (including for sex), why antidepressants compound the problem by affecting serotonin and dopamine, and how orgasm difficulties create a feedback loop that kills desire even further.I also share my personal story—how I dealt with depression, the mental scripts generating self-hatred that my brain was trying to protect me from, and how I got off meds through coaching and massive self-compassion work. Literally re-writing the thoughts in my head changed everything.We cover: what you can actually do about it (medication options, body-based approaches, relationship support), why this isn't your fault, and how to stop choosing between mental health and a satisfying sex life.Quick note: I'm not a medical doctor—this is educational, not medical advice.

The Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney, where two gunmen killed at least 15 people, has been called the worst atrocity against Jews outside of Israel since Oct 7.The harrowing event has sparked immediate political debate, with Tony Abbott, the former Australian prime minister, calling it a “day of shame” for the country. Chris Minns, the New South Wales premier, has announced a “comprehensive investigation” into the rise of antisemitism. Camilla and Tim are joined by Lord Wolfson to share his personal reaction to the attack as a Jewish man and its impact on his community as he says Jews like him have been warning about an attack like this for years.We want to hear from you!

Good News of Great Joy Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus  Christmas announces that God didn't step into the world to shame us or control us, but to rescue us from what's destroying us, heal what's broken inside us, and give us the life we've been longing for. If that kind of hope exists, it's worth taking a serious look at Jesus. Sermon Summary Introduction: The Eucatastrophe of Christmas Coleton begins with the angelic announcement in Luke 2:8–11, where shepherds—ordinary, overlooked people—are met by the glory of God in the middle of the night. “There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby… An angel of the Lord appeared to them… ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'” (Luke 2:8–11) Coleton introduces the idea of eucatastrophe, a term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien, meaning “an unexpected breaking in of goodness that changes everything.” A catastrophe is an unexpected disaster that alters life for the worse; a eucatastrophe is the opposite—unexpected goodness that permanently alters reality for the better. That, Coleton says, is exactly what the angels are announcing. Christmas is not sentimental nostalgia—it is the declaration that something has happened that changes everything. And the angel insists this news is meant to produce great joy. Coleton then asks the central question of the message:  Why should the birth of Jesus cause great joy? He gives three reasons. 1. Jesus Came to Rescue Us from Sin “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you.” (Luke 2:11) The first word the angel uses to describe Jesus is Savior. Coleton emphasizes that this is not accidental—this is the core announcement of Christmas: a rescuer has come to you. Matthew clarifies what kind of rescue Jesus brings: “He will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21) Coleton explains that many in Israel expected a rescuer from Roman oppression, but God identified a deeper enemy. From God's perspective, sin is a greater threat than any external circumstance. Sin is not just rule-breaking; it is a destructive power that poisons life from the inside out. Scripture says: “The wages of sin is death.” (Romans 6:23) Sin always pays out in destruction—relationally, emotionally, spiritually. Coleton illustrates this with a personal story from a home renovation: exposed live wires in the wall when his son Teddy was three years old. He wanted Teddy to obey him—but not simply because “I said so.” The deeper reason was that touching the wire would cause serious harm or even death. In the same way, God's commands are not arbitrary. Sin is dangerous. God forbids it because it kills us. The problem is not just that sin is harmful—it's that we are drawn to it. Coleton traces this reality through Scripture: Adam and Eve fixated on the one forbidden tree. Genesis 6:5 describes humanity's hearts as bent toward evil. Romans 7 shows Paul describing sin like an addiction he wants to resist but can't. “Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?” (Romans 7:24) Coleton names experiences we all recognize: Wanting to stop being angry but feeling trapped Wanting to forgive but being unable Wanting to stop fearing, lusting, worrying, or discontentment He quotes John Piper: “Sin is the suicidal abandonment of joy.” This is why Christmas is good news: Jesus has come to rescue us from the addictive desire to do what destroys us. Paul answers his own question: “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:25) Through the cross, sin's power is broken. “Our old self was crucified with him… that we should no longer be slaves to sin.” (Romans 6:6) Coleton quotes Jackie Hill Perry: “When Jesus died and rose, He gave you power to defeat sin… You are not a slave. You are free. You just have to believe that and walk in it.”  — Jackie Hill Perry, Gay Girl, Good God Jesus doesn't just forgive sin—He breaks its authority and reshapes our desires. 2. Jesus Came to Give Us an Abundant Kind of Life The angel also calls Jesus the Messiah—His job reminder, not just His title. Coleton walks through Isaiah 61, the Messiah's job description: “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me… to proclaim good news to the poor… bind up the brokenhearted… proclaim freedom for the captives… bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes…” (Isaiah 61:1–3) This describes a life transformed—not patched up, but renewed. Jesus explicitly claims this mission in Luke 4, declaring that Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled in Him. Coleton shows how Jesus lived this out: The paralytic who believed nothing could change Jairus' daughter, declared hopeless and dead The woman with the issue of blood Lepers, demoniacs, the blind, the broken Every encounter demonstrates the same truth: when people come to Jesus, His job description becomes their lived experience. Coleton makes a bold claim:  If this kind of transformation has never begun in someone's life, they may know about Jesus without truly knowing Him. He shares his own story—how his life changed dramatically after coming to faith. His friends loved the change but resisted the source. They wanted transformation without surrender. He quotes A.W. Tozer: “We treat Jesus the way Saul treated David. We want him to fight our battles for us… but we don't want him to be our king.” Coleton explains that who you believe your Messiah is will shape your life. If the world is your messiah, the world will form you—and it is broken. If Jesus is your Messiah, He will form you into His image—and He is full of life. Jesus doesn't offer occasional help; He offers fullness of life under His leadership. 3. Jesus Came to Remove Our Shame The angel calls Jesus Lord—God Himself with us. Coleton defines shame: “Shame is not guilt. Guilt is ‘I did something wrong.' Shame is ‘there is something wrong with me.'”  — Jon Tyson & Jeff Bethke, Fighting Shadows In Genesis, Moses repeatedly says Adam and Eve were “naked and unashamed.” Their identity, value, and security came from God's presence. Coleton quotes Donald Miller: “All of the glory, all of the security, all of the value that came from God was gone… and for the first time ever, they were pining for something to tell them they were okay.” That's when they hid. God's question—“Who told you that you were naked?” (Genesis 3:11)—reveals the source: shame. Coleton shows how humanity has been trying to silence shame ever since: Relationships Success Approval Humor Anger Perfectionism Underperforming Substances Money, appearance, status All of it is an attempt to quiet the whisper: something is wrong with me. Christmas declares something different: Immanuel—God with us.  Through Jesus, we are welcomed back into God's presence. “Come to me… and I will give you rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:28) Coleton ends by pointing to the cross: Jesus chose not to save Himself to save us He was broken so we could be made whole He was crucified naked and shamed to carry the shame of the garden—and remove ours Jesus is the ultimate eucatastrophe—the unexpected goodness that changes everything. Questions for Reflection Which of the three reasons—rescue from sin, abundant life, or removal of shame—do you most need to experience right now, and why? In what ways do you see sin acting more like an addiction than just bad behavior in your own life? Where are you tempted to want the benefits of Jesus without surrendering to Him as King? What are some ways you've tried to silence shame apart from God's presence? How have those strategies fallen short? What would it look like practically this week to trust Jesus to fulfill His “job description” in your life?

Exercise is often framed as self-care, discipline, or proof that someone is “doing the right thing.” But for many people, exercise becomes tangled with shame, control, and self-worth. In this interview, Dr. Marianne Miller sits down with Dr. Lisa Folden, a weight-inclusive physical therapist and Health at Every Size ambassador, to explore how exercise shamefuels body image distress and disordered eating, even when it is disguised as wellness or health. Dr. Lisa shares her personal journey from overexercising, restriction, and rigid fitness rules to intuitive movement rooted in care rather than punishment. Together, they unpack how fitness culture, purity culture, and appearance-based health messaging teach people to judge their bodies and measure their worth through movement, weight, and discipline. This conversation reframes eating disorder recovery through a compassionate, weight-inclusive lens that separates exercise from morality and control. This episode is especially relevant for anyone struggling with eating disorders, chronic disordered eating, exercise guilt, or a painful relationship with movement. Content Caution This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, disordered eating behaviors, food restriction, binge eating patterns, overexercising, body image distress, weight stigma, and shame-based health messaging. Please listen in a way that feels supportive to you. Episode Overview In this conversation, Dr. Marianne and Dr. Lisa explore how exercise shame develops and why it is so deeply connected to body image and eating disorder recovery. Dr. Lisa explains how early experiences with discipline, structure, and purity culture shaped her relationship with food and exercise, reinforcing the belief that bodies must be controlled to be worthy. They discuss how fitness spaces often reward pain, consistency, and weight loss while ignoring mental health, accessibility, and individual needs. The episode also examines how intuitive movement becomes possible when exercise is no longer used to fix or punish the body. Dr. Lisa describes what shifted when she stopped exercising to change her body and began moving in ways that supported her nervous system, energy, and overall well-being. The conversation highlights how ableism and body size bias show up in gyms and wellness spaces, often through subtle judgments about who “belongs” and how bodies should move. Throughout the episode, Dr. Lisa emphasizes that exercise does not determine character and that body image healing requires separating movement from shame, worth, and identity. This reframing is central to sustainable eating disorder recovery and long-term healing. Why This Episode Matters Many people in eating disorder recovery were taught that exercising consistently meant they were good, disciplined, or successful, while rest or inconsistency meant failure. This episode challenges those beliefs and offers a more humane, evidence-informed approach to movement and self-care. It speaks directly to listeners who feel stuck in cycles of overexercising, restriction, binge eating, or chronic guilt around movement, and offers permission to relate to exercise in a way that supports healing rather than harm.

The same tactics that con artists use to manipulate you can be used to build trust. Dr. Abbie Maroño explains the psychology of ethical social engineering. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1255What We Discuss with Dr. Abbie Maroño:Manipulation vs. Influence: It's all about intention. The same psychological tactics can be used for good or evil. The difference? Manipulation disregards harm to others and exploits fear, while influence builds mutual benefit and makes people want to collaborate with you. Con artists use manipulation because it's faster — but ethical influence wins every time over the long term.Scammers weaponize your emotions to bypass critical thinking. When emotions are activated, your prefrontal cortex — the brain's logic center — gets overridden. That's why con artists use artificial urgency ("only 24 hours left!") and exclusivity ("just for you"). They only need to appear trustworthy, not actually be it, because you'll act before you can verify.Shame is the silent weapon that keeps victims quiet. The reason so many scam victims never report what happened isn't denial, it's embarrassment. Shame becomes its own prison, preventing people from seeking help or warning others. This silence protects predators and perpetuates cycles of exploitation.Short-term thinking is the con artist's best friend. Manipulators prey on our psychological bias toward immediate rewards. Getting $100 now feels more valuable than $150 later — even when it isn't. This "survival mode" mentality keeps people chasing quick wins rather than building something sustainable.To protect yourself, remember that other people's emotions usually have nothing to do with you. When someone pushes your buttons or creates pressure, pause and recognize it for what it is: a tactic, not a personal attack. Shelving your emotional reaction keeps your critical thinking intact — and that's your best defense against manipulation and your greatest asset in any negotiation.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
