Episode Description In this year-end episode, Chris Wolfe, OD takes a step back from protocols, products, and positioning statements to examine a more fundamental question in clinical care: when does belief help us act, and when does belief get ahead of the data? Throughout the year, we've emphasized that belief during the comprehensive exam is what drives action. If doctors and teams do not truly believe something matters, it does not get prioritized. But belief has a failure mode. When belief outpaces evidence, especially in pediatric care, it can distort expectations, decision-making, and policy. Using the FDA's decision on low-dose atropine as a case study, this episode explores how belief forms, how it spreads, and where it may diverge from what the publicly available data actually show. This is not an argument against myopia management or atropine therapy. It is an attempt to slow the conversation down and examine effect size, study design, endpoints, and uncertainty with clarity and humility. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why myopia management itself is not the controversy, but certainty often is How belief influences behavior in the comprehensive exam, for better and for worse What the FDA actually said in its Complete Response Letter on SYD-101 How professional statements and press releases can amplify belief beyond available data What the STAR trial poster does and does not show, including effect size and subgroup uncertainty Why modest effect sizes behave differently in real-world clinical practice How to think about dose, endpoints, and population selection without oversimplifying Why belief should motivate action, but evidence should calibrate expectations Key Sources Referenced in This Episode FDA and Manufacturer Statements Sydnexis Complete Response Letter Press Release Sydnexis Receives Complete Response Letter from FDA for SYD-101 to Slow Pediatric Myopia Progression https://www.sydnexis.com/news/sydnexis-receives-complete-response-letter-from-fda-for-syd-101 Sydnexis Phase III STAR Trial Topline Data Press Release Sydnexis Announces Topline Pivotal Data from Phase 3 STAR Trial https://www.sydnexis.com/news/sydnexis-announces-topline-pivotal-data-from-phase-3-star-trial UK Approval Announcement (Based on STAR Data) Sydnexis Announces UK Approval of Ryjunea by Partner Santen https://www.sydnexis.com/news/sydnexis-announces-uk-approval-of-ryjunea Professional Organization Statements AAOMC Public Statement AAOMC Calls for Access to Proven Myopia Therapies as Low-Dose Atropine Gains Global Approvals https://aaomc.org AAPOS Commentary on Nonapproval of SYD-101 Available via LinkedIn and Healio OSN Clinical Commentary and Analysis Kyle Klute, OD – Optometry Simplified My Alternative Take on Atropine, Fast Progressors, and Effect Size (NNT Analysis) https://optometrysimplified.com/posts/optometry-simplified-weekly-my-alternative-take-on-atropine-fast-progressors-in-glaucoma-lab-test-ordering-and-more Strongly recommended for a detailed discussion of effect size and Number Needed to Treat.

It is about learning to sit in uncertainty without abandoning action. It challenges listeners to examine where belief helps patient care and where belief may unintentionally replace careful analysis. If you manage myopia, counsel parents, interpret clinical trials, or influence policy, this episode is designed to help you think more clearly, not more loudly. Connect and Continue the Conversation If this episode resonated with you, or if you found yourself uncomfortable in parts of it, that reaction is worth exploring.

Beloved, Happy Solstice - the RETURN TO LIGHT. This day is a moment every year when the world is invited to pause and to stop. It's quiet, almost imperceptible, but if you're paying attention—you can feel it.It happens on the Winter Solstice. The longest night. The shortest day. The edge between what has been and what is yet to come.We call it a turning point, but really—it's a still point.As the earth tilts away from the sun, everything pauses. The trees sleep. The fields rest. Even our bodies seem to crave slower rhythms, as if the ancient part of us remembers: this is the time to exhale.“The day/night of Winter Solstice is a liminal time… the moment between nights getting longer and nights getting shorter.”In the rush of daily life, we rarely let ourselves pause in that in-between. We push through dark mornings. We complain about early sunsets. We fill every silence with something to do.The White Stag, a symbol of the Winter Solstice, represents Spirit or messengers in many cultures. Seen as purified totems glowing with inner light, they offer teachings and wisdom from beyond that can transform us in unexpected ways. White Stags are also considered doorways to other realms, both a blessing and a force to be respected—following them may demand everything from you with no guarantee of return.The White Stag's link to the Winter Solstice comes from the season's clarity: with foliage gone, stark contrasts reveal what was hidden. In winter, stags are at their most powerful—gathering herds, mating for the next generation, protecting them, and embodying the forest's spirit.But just as the Solstice marks the pause before light's return, we too need the pause before renewal.So how do we embrace this? Here's what rises:* Breathe in the dark. Literally. Stand outside at noon on Solstice. Let the gloom press against your skin. Inhale stillness. Exhale striving.* Sharpen your tools. Not just hammers or skis—but your inner ones. What thoughts, habits, or regrets clutter your spirit? Write them down, then burn or bury the paper.* Move like the whitestag. Stags do not rush in the presence of fear..* It listens. Sit quietly for 10 minutes. Notice what shifts when you stop doing.Reflect with me:* What burden are you ready to release, like the stag shedding antlers?* Where might the White Stag appear in your ordinary? A sunset? A child's laugh?* How can you honor the sacred pause, instead of rushing toward spring?Winter Solstice doesn't promise instant rebirth. It gifts us a threshold—a chance to stand bare and brave, trusting that light will return. As the example of the seasonal symbol of the White Stag - they show us, strength and grace are dance partners. Shed the unnecessary. Rest deeply. Let your inner light rekindle.The longest night is not an end. It's the breath before the dawn.Love and deep rest, KassandraHey….PS:In times of change and uncertainty, knowing which step to take next can feel overwhelming.The path to sovereign wealth and intentional living requires us to tap into our most valuable resource: our intuition.The Light Between Oracle Journey is your personal guide—offering oracle readings, reflective journaling prompts, and tools to ground your inner knowing.It blends ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience to help you find clarity and take empowered action, one breath, one choice at a time.When I provide a topic or block for transformation, I help uncover life's hidden light, waiting for you to bring it forth.Choose to be in the drivers seat to self empowerment and next-era growth.

Send us a textA quiet nudge, a tightness in your stomach, a question you can't shake—those moments aren't magic tricks. They're signals. We explore how intuition actually works, why it often shows up as a bodily sensation before a thought, and how to tell the difference between a clear internal no and plain old fear. Nancy shares a recent “interview” that arrived via chat-only messages and stacked up red flags, and we turn that story into a practical checklist for staying open to opportunity without getting played.We dig into the gut-brain axis and the role diet and stress have in shaping judgment. When your digestive system is overloaded with processed food and your mind is cluttered with noise, subtle patterns get drowned out. On the flip side, when you simplify inputs—cleaner meals, calmer routines, less visual clutter—discernment gets faster and cleaner. We also talk about the skills we lose to routine and constant stimulation, and how simple practices like slow nasal breathing, short meditations, cold exposure, long walks, and better sleep bring your sixth sense back online.This conversation is grounded, not mystical. Verify recruiters on LinkedIn. Question chat-only interviews. Tally red flags without assuming bad intent. Declutter one room and notice how your breath changes. Pause before major decisions and act from calm instead of urgency. The throughline is simple: clean your mind, body, and home, and you'll hear your intuition more clearly—and trust it when it matters.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs sharper instincts, and leave a quick review to help more people find us. What's one practice you'll use this week to quiet the noise and hear your gut?

“Be authentic.” “Own your story.” “Sharpen your edges.”We say these things at Havener Capital all the time (and Stacy says them a lot). But here's the real question: do they actually move the needle?Mike Denklau, founder of Dorset Agriculture, is here to tell you they do. Today, he's giving us a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you stop code-switching… and start building from your real story.Before launching Dorset, Mike was part of Harvard's endowment, helping manage a $4B+ agriculture and timber portfolio. Long before that, he was an Iowa farm kid. The journey from flannel in the fields to fund meetings in Boston is full of lessons for any founder navigating identity, fundraising, and first-time firm-building.Here's what you'll hear in this episode:How a kid from Iowa ended up managing billions at Harvard and how that full-circle moment sparked Dorset's launchThe overlooked opportunity in ag investing most firms ignore (and where meaningful, steady alpha may actually be hiding)How Mike landed his first investor without a pitch and without trading his comfy flannel in for a stiff suit to fit in Why boutique founders need to stop hiding behind polish and let LPs see the messy middle (because that's where conviction is built)What early-stage fundraising actually feels like and how to keep going when the uncertainty feels personal and loudThis isn't just a story about agriculture. It's a case study in what happens when you own your different, build what the market didn't even know it needed, and let your backstory do what it does best: open doors that fitting in never could. More about Mike Denklau: Mike was born into a third-generation farming family and raised on a farm in Iowa. He has 14+ years of investment and finance experience and was involved with $8B+ of transactions.Prior to Dorset, Mike was an agriculture investor at Solum Partners and Harvard Management Company. Previously, Mike held investment and investment banking roles at Hudson Advisors, Barclays, and Lehman Brothers.Mike earned a MBA and JD from Northwestern University and a BBA in Finance and a BS in Political Science from the University of Iowa. Mike is also a member of the Illinois State Bar Association.Mike enjoys golf, skiing, and Hawkeye football.

In this episode, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill talk about what actually sharpens your marketing blade — and spoiler alert, it's not another agency, funnel, or plug-and-play system. It's relationships. Real ones. Built the slow way. The uncomfortable way. The way most people avoid because it doesn't scale nicely in a pitch deck.The guys break down why businesses that rely entirely on outsourced marketing eventually lose their edge, and why doing your own marketing — even imperfectly — forces you to understand your customers, your gaps, and your strengths way faster than hiding behind automation ever will. Marketing isn't about being clever; it's about being connected.From travel stories and food tangents to CRM insights, sales follow-ups, seasonal cash flow, and creative hustle, the episode weaves together one core truth: relationships compound. Every conversation, follow-up, DM, and handshake sharpens the sword. Ignore them, and your marketing turns into a blunt object that just makes noise instead of impact.They also dig into when agencies do make sense, when they absolutely don't, and how technology and AI should support creativity — not replace it. This episode is a reminder that the most dangerous businesses aren't the loudest… they're the ones quietly building trust, momentum, and leverage while everyone else is chasing hacks.If your marketing feels dull, frustrating, or disconnected — it's not broken.You just haven't sharpened the blade.

“People Sharpen People”Sacred Community Series – Part 3aDecember 14, 2025 | Light & Life ChurchThis week leaned right into the heart of Sacred Community: the truth that God uses people to shape people. Pastor Mark walked us through why real growth requires real relationships, even when those relationships feel a little… gritty.1. Generations Need Each OtherWe started with Titus 2 and the reminder that the church is supposed to be multi generational by design. Young and old teach each other. The body thrives when every member is connected and investing in someone else's spiritual life. That's how we leave a legacy that outlives us.And just to make it clear:Nobody is too old to ministerNobody is too young to ministerAnd both groups need to resist judging the other2. Iron Sharpens Iron… and Why That MattersProverbs 27:17 gave us the theme: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”Pastor Mark unpacked the sharpening process in a way that hit home. A knife only becomes sharp when two objects made of the same material rub, grind, and apply pressure. God designed humans to sharpen each other the same way.To become spiritually sharper:You need another personThere will be frictionThat friction has a purposeThe end result is sharpnessWe all have “rough edges,” but it takes different levels of grit to work them out. Grit in the human sense looks like courage, backbone, stamina, and determination. We need people who carry that grit so they can lovingly challenge the parts of us that don't look like Jesus yet.The catch? Being sharpened hurts. But humility lessens the amount of grit required.3. The People We Avoid Are Often the People We NeedSometimes we treat people as the problem when they're actually God's tool for our growth. Pastor Mark poked at that a little. We think we can avoid, mute, cancel, or distance ourselves from the people who rub us the wrong way. But God may have placed those very people in our lives to sharpen our character, our demeanor, and even our spiritual countenance.If you feel spiritually dull, it might be because you're missing the right people in your life.4. The Danger of Staying SilentThen we took a pretty strong turn into Ezekiel 3. When God gives truth and we keep it to ourselves, our silence can actually contribute to someone else's spiritual downfall. Sacred community requires truth telling, even when it's uncomfortable.Why don't we do it?Because many believers today have slipped into people pleasing. We're more worried about others liking us than about their souls finding life.5. Social Media Isn't Real CommunityPastor Mark hit on how social media creates the illusion of tribe while letting us avoid the messy, refining work of real human connection. Online, we can unfollow discomfort. In real community, we have to face personalities, fears, conflict, and growth.Authentic community forces sharpening. Artificial community lets us stay spiritually dull.6. The Narrow RoadJesus said the path to life is narrow. Community that honors God will always call people higher and refuse to compromise truth, morals, or faith. That's not narrow mindedness in the negative sense, but faithfulness to Scripture.2 John reminds us to guard against teachings that drift away from Christ. Giving a platform to things that oppose God doesn't just confuse the church — it makes us partners in the problem.7. The Challenge for UsThe sermon ended with two questions that cut deep:What truth have you avoided telling because you wanted to stay liked?And what have you compromised just to fit in?Sacred community can't exist in a group of people pleasers. It forms when believers call each other higher, speak truth in love, and trust that iron sharpening iron is God's design for our flourishing.

In this episode, I answer a great question from listener (and She Runs Ultras member) Kierstin:How do you train mental toughness and resiliency when the moments you need it don't show up until 12+ hours into a race?  And how do you practice that in everyday life without recreating 20 hours of race fatigue?Here's the truth: you're practicing mental toughness 24/7, whether you realize it or not.  It doesn't start with huge, heroic efforts. It starts with the small, uncomfortable, inconvenient stuff you'd rather avoid.Inside the episode, we cover:Why mental toughness is built the same way strength training is — light weight first, then load.How “small annoyances” are actually prime training reps for mental resilience.Why skipping straight to the big challenges leaves you vulnerable to the small ones that derail races.Real examples of micro-challenges you can start using today:stretching after a run, running the hill you hate, waking up early, joining the back of the pack, choosing the rocky trail, etc.How to make a simple “uncomfortable list” and use it as a training progression from small → big.The real battle: the mental chatter that shows up before you even start the task.Why your self-talk before, during, and after these moments matters just as much as the action itself.A reminder that on race day, curveballs will happen — and these daily reps are what prepare you to meet them instead of fold.I also talk about Episode 90 — Believe Hard, and why believing in your future self (yes, even irrationally at times) is a huge part of developing resilience.If you want mental toughness to show up for you on race day, now is the time to start practicing — with the small stuff first.Enjoy this episode — and start training your mind just as intentionally as your miles.⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT

You ever look at your sword, then at the wizard's spellbook, and think "wait a minute, why does their magic missile hit harder than my greatsword?" Well, friends, today we fix that. We're diving deep into the art of the Fighter: the tank, the tactician, the unsung hero of every adventuring party. Sharpen your blades, tighten your greaves, and prepare to discover why hitting things really, truly is an art form. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew dives head-first into one of tabletop RPGs' most versatile and beloved classes: the Fighter. From mastering combat maneuvers to optimizing subclasses like Champion, Battlemaster, and Eldritch Knight, Tyler, Randall, and Ash break down what makes Fighters the cornerstone of Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder 2e alike. They cover how to build effective martial characters, balance offense vs. defense, and add flavor to roleplay beyond just swinging a sword. Whether you're a new player building your first character or a veteran min-maxer chasing the perfect attack roll, this episode will help you unleash your inner warrior and make every round of combat feel legendary. Key Takeaways Fighters are deceptively complex — easy to start, endlessly deep to master. Subclass choice defines flavor and playstyle, from the straightforward Champion to the tactical Battlemaster or arcane Eldritch Knight. Action economy is king — Fighters excel at leveraging extra attacks and bonus actions effectively. Feat selection matters — learn when to go Great Weapon Master, Sharpshooter, or Dual Wielder. Roleplay opportunities abound — even "simple" Fighters can have rich motivations and heroic depth. Pathfinder 2e Fighters get strong defensive options and customizable feats that reward strategic planning. Optimization tip: balance Strength/Dexterity investment with survivability; raw numbers aren't everything. Team synergy makes Fighters shine—working with spellcasters and support characters amplifies their battlefield control. Join the RPGBOT Patreon Love what you hear?

Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew dives head-first into one of tabletop RPGs' most versatile and beloved classes: the Fighter. From mastering combat maneuvers to optimizing subclasses like Champion, Battlemaster, and Eldritch Knight, Tyler, Randall, and Ash break down what makes Fighters the cornerstone of Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder 2e alike. They cover how to build effective martial characters, balance offense vs. defense, and add flavor to roleplay beyond just swinging a sword. Whether you're a new player building your first character or a veteran min-maxer chasing the perfect attack roll, this episode will help you unleash your inner warrior and make every round of combat feel legendary. Key Takeaways Fighters are deceptively complex — easy to start, endlessly deep to master. Subclass choice defines flavor and playstyle, from the straightforward Champion to the tactical Battlemaster or arcane Eldritch Knight. Action economy is king — Fighters excel at leveraging extra attacks and bonus actions effectively. Feat selection matters — learn when to go Great Weapon Master, Sharpshooter, or Dual Wielder. Roleplay opportunities abound — even "simple" Fighters can have rich motivations and heroic depth. Pathfinder 2e Fighters get strong defensive options and customizable feats that reward strategic planning. Optimization tip: balance Strength/Dexterity investment with survivability; raw numbers aren't everything. Team synergy makes Fighters shine—working with spellcasters and support characters amplifies their battlefield control. Join the RPGBOT Patreon Love what you hear?

Welcome back to another episode of Grit Meets Growth. Today's a special one. We're pulling back the curtain on the brotherhood inside Built for More and inviting you into the room with us. Five months into this journey—and with most of the guys having just wrapped up a round of 75 Hard—we thought it was the perfect time to bring everyone together, share what this experience has looked like, and talk honestly about the growth, the challenges, and the wins. This one's going to be real, it's going to be raw, and it's definitely going to be fun. Let's jump in, meet the crew, and get this conversation rolling. Five Takeaways from this Episode:Brotherhood changes everything.When men get in a room together, drop the armor, and get real, transformation accelerates. You don't need everyone's backstory to build a brotherhood—you just need honesty, presence, and the willingness to show up for each other.Vulnerability isn't weakness—it's the doorway to strength.Every guy talked about leaving the macho at the door. That's where breakthroughs happened. Once the mask comes off, you finally get access to the conversations that actually move your life forward.Discipline creates momentum.75 Hard wasn't about workouts or water—it was about mental toughness. Honoring your promises to yourself, showing up when you don't feel like it, stacking small wins… that's what rebuilt confidence and shaped identity for the guys in this group.Personal growth spills into everything else.When a man gets his personal life aligned—mindset, habits, discipline—his work life, leadership, relationships, and energy all change. Every guy on the call saw the ripple effect.Iron sharpens iron.Being surrounded by high-character, high-effort men pulls you up. The group became a place to get challenged, encouraged, recalibrated, and reminded that there's more in the tank. Growth isn't a solo sport—and these men proved it. ONE TRUTH:A man becomes who he's meant to be when he stops trying to do life alone.

In this episode of The Eric Coffey Show, Eric reflects on why he left Florida to plant himself in the heart of federal activity—because real opportunity often sits closest to the fire. Joined by seasoned former senior executives from NIH, USDA, and major federal organizations, the conversation touches on the importance of showing up, investing in community, strengthening your credentials, and positioning yourself inside key socioeconomic and professional groups. Eric pulls back the curtain on why proximity, collaboration, and continuous self-development will determine who thrives as new coalitions and high-level industry connections are formed. Key Takeaways Proximity creates opportunity: Being close to federal decision-makers accelerates relationship-building and access. Sharpen your credentials: Use downtime to update certifications, join associations, and stay active in professional groups. Engage the ecosystem: Chambers, NCMA chapters, and socioeconomic organizations open doors most small businesses never tap into.

In this weeks episode, its' all about patterned worthiness and the strategies that shape us. Key TakeawaysUnworthiness isn't an emotion; it's a patterned contraction of the field.Your nervous system measures familiarity, not worth—so expansion can feel unsafe even when it's aligned.The paradox: the more you want, the more your system braces—then you misread bracing as evidence you're “not ready.”Repatterning means tracing strategy to origin code, regulating before action, and rehearsing receiving somatically.The result: you stop confusing survival strategies for self; identity updates to truth (coherence > performance).For More InfoGet Started with READING REALITY - A 7 Day Email Series to Sharpen your Perception.Join the Field HUBtaliyahverse.substack.com@wh0sitaliyah // @superfreq.co

Discover how resilient leadership is forged through pressure, capacity, and the barbell mindset—and learn how to build unshakeable strength under stress. Table of Contents Toggle IntroductionUnderstanding Resilient LeadershipWhy Resilient Leadership MattersCommon Challenges and Limiting BeliefsStep-by-Step Implementation GuideReal-Life Success StoriesMistakes to AvoidAdvanced Strategies for MasteryCall to ActionQ&A Section Introduction Resilient leadership isn't built in strategy meetings or motivational workshops—it's built under load. Most leaders think resilience is about staying calm, staying positive, or staying busy. But that's not resilience. That's performance acting. The truth is far more uncomfortable: resilient leadership is the capacity to take on more pressure without breaking—and to keep rising even when the weight feels unbearable. The keyword resilient leadership stands at the center of this conversation because the modern leader isn't collapsing from lack of skill… they're collapsing from lack of capacity. You don't fix that with time hacks. You fix it with training. This is where the barbell becomes your greatest teacher. In CrossFit, I learned early that the weight never lies. The barbell tells you exactly who you are under pressure. It exposes weakness, reinforces discipline, and demands growth. Leadership does the same. Today, you'll learn how resilient leadership is built the same way strength is built: friction, load, recovery, and progressive challenge. And you'll learn why leaders who avoid metaphorical weight become fragile while those who train under stress become unstoppable. Understanding Resilient Leadership Resilient leadership is the ability to stay centered, decisive, and effective under pressure—even as demands, uncertainty, and responsibility increase. It is the mental toughness for leaders that separates those who fold from those who rise. The misconception? People assume resilience is a personality trait. Something fixed. Something you're born with. But pressure doesn't care about personality. Pressure only cares about capacity. In the gym, capacity is measured by load: how much weight you can move, how well you can stay composed, and whether you keep form when things get heavy. Leadership works the same way. Many leaders crumble not because the weight is too much… …but because they never trained for it. Resilient leadership is trainable. It is measurable. And it grows through deliberate exposure to stress, challenge, and responsibility—just like strength training. The barbell metaphor leadership model teaches us that you grow capacity the same way you grow strength: gradually, intentionally, and with humility. Resilient leadership skills emerge from adversity, repetition, discipline, and reflection. They aren't earned by reading leadership books—they're earned by carrying the load. Why Resilient Leadership Matters The world is not slowing down. Expectations aren't decreasing. Pressure isn't easing. Your people, teams, and family don't need a leader who is simply informed—they need a leader who can remain grounded when the room is shaking. CrossFit taught me that strength is never about the first reps. It's about the last ones—the ones completed when your mind is screaming for relief. Those reps build the ability to perform under fatigue. In leadership, the equivalent reps come when:   You're tired but must stay clear.   You're overwhelmed but must still decide.   You're uncertain but must still lead. This is why resilient leadership training becomes essential. When leaders lack resilience, everything downstream suffers—culture, morale, communication, execution, and results. You can't give clarity if you don't have inner stability. You can't drive performance if you're emotionally depleted. You can't inspire trust when you're constantly reactive. High-performance leadership habits aren't built in moments of ease—they're built under stress. And if you're not deliberately building your resilience muscles, the weight of leadership will eventually break you. Common Challenges and Limiting Beliefs Every leader struggles with the same three traps: “If I just get through this week, it will get easier.” This is the business version of hoping the weight magically gets lighter. It doesn't. The load always increases—sometimes gradually, sometimes overnight. “Resilience means doing it alone.” This is outdated warrior mythology. In strength training, no one grows without coaching, programming, accountability, and a system that pushes them just beyond their comfort zone. “I need to avoid stress.” Avoiding stress is the fastest way to shrink capacity. Overprotection weakens the system. Stress doesn't destroy leaders—poor recovery and lack of training does. Resilient leadership isn't about dodging pressure. It's about expanding who you become in the presence of it. Step-by-Step Implementation Guide Here's how to build resilient leadership using the principles of the barbell metaphor leadership model: Step 1: Load Before You're Ready In CrossFit, if you only lift when it's comfortable, you'll stay weak. The same is true in leadership. Begin deliberately taking on responsibilities, conversations, and decisions that stretch your emotional and mental capacity, expanding your tolerance for uncertainty and increasing your ability to stay composed under pressure. Step 2: Train with Intent Resilient leadership training requires conscious practice—structured reflection, emotional regulation techniques, nervous system resets, and pressure management rituals—all performed consistently to reinforce mastery and build a dependable foundation for responding to real-world challenges confidently. Step 3: Embrace Micro-Adversity Just as strength grows through controlled stress, resilience grows through micro-adversity—cold exposure, tough conversations, difficult workouts, disciplined routines, and intentional friction designed to strengthen your capacity for discomfort and sharpen your psychological edge. Step 4: Recover Like a Professional Recovery isn't optional—it's strategic. Leaders who fail to schedule recovery confuse burnout for weakness. Proper recovery replenishes energy, restores clarity, reinforces emotional balance, and ensures you can consistently show up with strength when pressure inevitably increases. Step 5: Build a Coaching Environment Even elite athletes need coaches. Leaders who avoid coaching plateau quickly. Coaching accelerates growth by calibrating load, challenge, and perspective, helping you identify blind spots, strengthen performance habits, and stay aligned with high-level leadership standards. This is how you build mental toughness for leaders—reps, reflection, and regulated stress. Real-Life Success Stories I've watched executives transform their leadership capacity the same way athletes transform under the bar. One client came in exhausted, overwhelmed, and convinced he was failing. We rebuilt his leadership habits the same way we'd rebuild a lifting program—load management, mental conditioning, energy protocols, emotional hygiene, and progressive challenge. Six months later, he was leading with decisiveness, clarity, and unshakable presence. His team noticed it. His family felt it. His results proved it. Resilient leadership is visible. You don't have to announce it. People feel it. Mistakes to Avoid   Trying to lift everything alone – isolation kills resilience, drains emotional capacity, limits perspective, and slowly erodes your ability to lead with clarity and grounded strength.   Avoiding conflict – conflict is pressure; pressure is training, and sidestepping it prevents growth, weakens influence, reinforces fear-driven behavior, and ultimately diminishes leadership credibility.   Overworking – fatigue without recovery is collapse, and grinding nonstop destroys focus, reduces creativity, impairs decision-making, and trains your nervous system to operate in permanent survival mode.   Being reactive – reactions kill precision and signal instability, creating unnecessary chaos, damaging trust, and undermining the reliability your team depends on during high-pressure moments.   Ignoring feedback – leaders blind to feedback lose their edge, miss critical growth opportunities, repeat avoidable mistakes, disconnect from their people, and gradually fall behind more adaptive competitors. Avoid these mistakes and your capacity will skyrocket. Advanced Strategies for Mastery If you want elite-level resilient leadership, adopt the following practices:   Contrast training: move between high-pressure and calm states intentionally to strengthen adaptability, sharpen cognitive control, and train your nervous system to handle rapid transitions without losing clarity, presence, or emotional stability.   Identity conditioning: see yourself as a resilient leader first—actions follow identity, and reinforcing this self-concept through daily behaviors, rituals, and decisions helps you embody strength even when external circumstances attempt to knock you off center.   Load calibration: weekly reviews of your responsibilities, energy, and emotional weight ensure you’re managing demands intelligently, preventing overload, redistributing pressure effectively, and staying ahead of burnout before it sneaks up and compromises your leadership effectiveness.   Archetype integration: balance Warrior discipline, King vision, Magician strategy, and Lover emotional intelligence by consciously activating each archetype, aligning your behavior with your highest potential, and ensuring no single aspect of your leadership becomes overextended or underdeveloped. This is where resilient leadership becomes a lifestyle, not a skill. Call to Action If you skimmed this, go back. Skimming is fragile behavior. Resilient leadership requires presence, pressure, and precision. If this resonated, it's because you know the truth: the barbell doesn't lie—and neither does your life. You're either growing capacity or losing it. If you're ready to train your resilience like an athlete trains for competition—if you're ready to build the leadership strength your team, your family, and your future demand—then it's time to step up. Sharpen your edge. Elevate your capacity. Book your Power Strategy Session and let's forge your next level. Q&A Section What is resilient leadership? Resilient leadership is the ability to stay composed, decisive, and effective under pressure while navigating complexity and stress. It matters because modern leaders face relentless demands, and without resilience, performance collapses. Imagine trying to lift a heavy barbell without proper training—the weight crushes you. Leadership works the same way. How can I develop resilient leadership skills? By treating resilience like strength training: progressive challenge, intentional stress exposure, structured reflection, emotional regulation, and mentorship. Leaders who integrate these practices rapidly expand capacity and confidence. Why do leaders struggle with resilience? Because most avoid discomfort. Resilience requires deliberate exposure to challenge. When leaders avoid conflict, stress, or hard decisions, they weaken their capacity over time. What is the role of coaching in resilient leadership? Coaching acts like a training program—it provides structure, pressure calibration, feedback, and accountability. Without coaching, leaders plateau. With coaching, they grow faster and sustain results. How does the barbell metaphor apply to leadership under stress? The barbell teaches that strength comes from controlled pressure, repetition, and recovery. Leadership mirrors this exactly. You build capacity by showing up, doing the reps, and leaning into the weight instead of avoiding it. .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 30px; } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ display: flex; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{ width: 48%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 32%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: calc(25% - 20px); } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{ max-width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{ background: initial !important; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double, .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ justify-content: initial; flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }; } Related Posts The 4 Stages of Personal Growth For Personal Success20 Mental Strength Character Traits – Part 2: Warrior Mind Podcast #367Chunking Down To Workable Pieces: Warrior Mind Podcast # 160Risk Taking: Warrior Mind Podcast # 147 11 Tips for Personal Development: Warrior Mind Podcast #324Unlocking the Power of Character Archetypes Through Spirit Animals: A Path to TransformationLife Rules Shape Our Reality- Warrior Mind Podcast #6658 Bold Steps to Stop Living in Fear and Take Control

Blog page for this episode: https://missamberrenee.com/leverage-your-shame-from-past-business-decisions-flopped-launches-or-income-dips-to-sharpen-your-leadership/ There's a version of shame that will destroy you… And there's a version of shame that will birth you and the world you desire to create. In this episode of Eros Money Power, I take you into the underworld of shame—not to stay there, but to learn how to eroticize it, transmute it, and use it as fuel for your leadership, your art, your wealth, and your life. This isn't a surface-level conversation about mindset, staying high vibe, or faking confidence. It's about how women in power—visionaries, leaders, artists, creators, women on the leading edge of influence and innovation—can stop letting shame erode their influence, and instead, turn it into the very world-shaping force that amplifies it. You'll hear me share raw personal stories, deeper-level teachings, and provocative rituals for transforming the most taboo parts of yourself into sources of leadership, magnetism, influence, and power. Inside this episode you'll hear: The origin story of this transmission—recorded during a melancholic fall day, inspired by my own shame and musings on life, death, and rebirth. The truth about shame as one of your greatest erotic teachers, and how it either destroys or creates, depending on how you relate to it. The link between patriarchal conditioning, money shame, and why women hold themselves to impossible standards in business and leadership (while men do not). Personal stories of "failed" launches, income dips, and leadership mistakes—and how each became a portal into deeper erotic leadership and power.

Feeling overwhelmed by planning next year when your business still feels a bit messy beneath the surface? In this episode, Anna Lundberg shares why rushing headlong into goal-setting without strong business foundations is a recipe for frustration, and lays out a practical, simple approach to set yourself up for success in 2026. If you're craving more clarity, smarter strategy, and a business that actually suits your life, this episode is tailor-made for you. Key takeaways: Brilliant Planning Starts with the Right Foundations: Setting new goals and colour-coded calendars is pointless if your underlying business model is misaligned or not delivering what you need. First, get clear on what's working, what feels heavy, and what simply isn't serving you. The Stop, Start, Continue Method: Anna advocates for the "stop, start, continue" framework—identify what to stop doing (low-ROI activities or things that drain you), what you must continue (your proven efforts), and a mindful approach to what new things you start (beware shiny-object syndrome!). Prioritise Simplicity Over Overwhelm: Avoid the trap of planning a million changes. Anna's approach focuses on a light reset—refining your core priorities and picking only one or two key shifts for the first quarter, keeping things achievable and aligned. Check Your Business Model and Message: Review where your income comes from, what's profitable, and whether your delivery modes (coaching, mentoring, speaking, etc.) align with your capacity and energy. Sharpen your messaging so it stands out in a busy marketplace. Groundwork Business Recalibration: Anna introduces her 10-day "Groundwork" programme—an experiential reset to evaluate, recalibrate, and set an intentional path for the year ahead, focusing on clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth. Ready to reset before the year ends? Join Groundwork - a 10-day guided sprint to step back, get clear on what's working, and make intentional decisions for 2026. Short daily videos, focused prompts, and the option to join a WhatsApp group and live coaching call. We start Monday 17th November. onestepoutside.com/groundwork

Dr. Chris Wolfe examines how dry eye disease became linked with aesthetic treatments like IPL and radiofrequency.

The year was 1938. Families across America gathered, listening during the golden age of radio. On the eve of Halloween, a broadcast interrupted their evening: A live report claimed Martian cylinders had landed in Grovers Mill, New Jersey. Within minutes, panic erupted as citizens fled their homes, convinced Earth was under alien attack. The entire event was fake. It was a perfectly executed radio drama by 23-year-old Orson Welles. Here's the sales lesson tucked into The War of the Worlds sci-fi scare: Welles wasn't just reading a script. He was executing a masterful lesson in emotional engagement. He had listeners hooked, buying into his story emotionally before their brains had time to register, "Wait, this can't be real."  That emotional buy-in is a core tenet of sales: People buy on emotion and then justify it with logic and facts. If rational adults can flee their homes over a fictional Martian invasion, imagine the force of emotion you can unleash when you find your prospect's emotional trigger. Sharpen your emotional intelligence, and you deploy a powerful sales tool. Emotion Gets the Attention, Data Seals the Deal Welles sold tension, uncertainty, and gravity, not a product. His voice was calm yet urgent, delivered with the authority of a trusted news anchor. The audience felt an adrenaline surge—heartbeats rising, eyes widening—before they had time to check the facts. This is the non-negotiable first step in sales. Your passionate storytelling creates the emotional charge. Your tone carries more weight than any spreadsheet full of ROI data. Emotion gets your buyer leaning in and invested in the outcome. The data you provide simply helps them sleep well at night after they've already made their decision. If your message isn't landing, stop reviewing your product deck and start analyzing your delivery. Are you speaking with urgency, and are you connecting to their emotional state? Without that emotional resonance, even the best solution just adds to the noise. Authority Isn't Arrogance, It's Command Welles dressed his fictional story in familiar trappings like live news bulletins, eyewitness reports, and crackling radio static. Each detail made the unbelievable feel legitimate. He commanded belief by establishing immediate, undeniable authority. Bring that same presence to your sales interactions. Authority isn't arrogance; it's commanding belief. Sound like someone who's been there, knows the terrain, and has the solution. Communicate with unwavering authority, and you build trust before price discussions begin. This is how you sell the experience. Prospects must believe in you and your company; belief in your product comes next. They buy the experience of working with you before seeing the product. If you sound uncertain, you'll never build a foundation of trust. Stay Steady to Control the Chaos Welles predicted a strong reaction to his broadcast and stayed calm, controlled the narrative, and guided the audience through the panic he was creating. In sales, moments of crisis or uncertainty test your professionalism. When a prospect goes cold, objections arise, or a competitor attacks, do not panic. Do not mirror their anxiety—it only feeds chaos and cedes control of the deal. Control the process, control yourself, control the outcome. When deals wobble and emotions spike in your buyer, that is your moment to shine. Breathe, slow down, ask questions, and lead steadily. Be the calm voice that reassures, guides, and inspires confidence. Mastering internal composure is the essence of emotional intelligence in sales.  Your Action Plan: Develop Your Sales EQ Mastering composure under pressure is a skill, not a gift. It requires commitment to developing emotional intelligence so you can use logic while others react in fear. Start a 'Rejection Journal' Drill. Stop letting rejection or setbacks paralyze you. Create a Failure Log to immediately document your feelings (frustration,
