Send a textAnna Rollins grew up as the kind of girl who took her faith seriously — and that's exactly why it hurt her so much. In this conversation, Anna and I dig into her memoir Famished: On Food, Sex, and Growing Up as a Good Girl, where she traces how purity culture's messages about desire, self-denial, and the body quietly fueled decades of disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and sexual pain. What strikes me most is that Anna's parents were loving, her church wasn't overtly abusive — and yet the cumulative message she absorbed was shrink yourself.  I think this conversation is going to resonate deeply with so many of you.THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR:To Heal or Harm: Scripture's Use as Poison or Medicine for Abuse Survivors by Dr. Steven Tracy.

Everyone wants influence.Everyone wants impact.Almost no one wants the cost.In this episode, Kellan exposes the dangerous myth that being inclusive, vague, and universally liked leads to success. It doesn't. It leads to irrelevance. If you don't have haters, you haven't said anything. If you're afraid to narrow your audience, you're afraid to multiply your impact.Your story isn't just something that happened to you. It's preparation. And when you let it become a stand — clear, aligned, consistent — you become powerful.Key Takeaways:Why yelling at injustice doesn't fix anythingThe difference between a stand and an opinion“You can let it ruin you or you can let it refine you”Why clarity attracts and vagueness repels impactThe real reason people avoid taking a standHow consistency between belief and behavior builds powerWhy shrinking your audience actually multiplies influenceThe cost of staying liked, vague, and smallHow your developmental story becomes your causeWhy leadership begins with self-leadership

Do you ever catch yourself wanting to delete, shrink, or simplify something in your business that's actually working? Patterns in business can be sneaky like that!After my biggest year ever, adding 100K+ in revenue and watching my clients hit milestones like 30K months and full practices, I found myself wanting to disable pages on my website, strip things back, and get rid of what felt like "too much." It turns out, I was mislabeling complexity as messiness. That same impulse I have in my home to declutter everything? It had crept right into how I was running my business.In today's episode, I'm getting real about how I caught myself mid-sabotage and what I'm doing differently now. I'm also inviting you to look at your own stress responses because the thing you do when your business feels overwhelming might not be solving a real problem. It might just be giving your nervous system a quick hit of relief.If you're in a season of growth and things feel heavier than you expected, this episode is for you.Topics covered on Patterns In Business:Self-sabotaging patterns in business that were quietly working against meThe difference between fruitful complexity and actual disorganization in a growing therapy practiceYour nervous system can trick you into shrinking what you've built instead of learning to hold moreThe patterns in business you default to under stress often mirror what you do in your personal lifeThe important question I now ask myself before making any impulsive changesResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessWhat Your Therapist Thinks: https://www.youtube.com/@WhatYourTherapistThinksConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachQuote:“ There are all sorts of ways that we can sabotage our success and our growth because we're uncomfortable with the success and the growth that we are experiencing.” - Felicia

SummaryIn this Q&A roundtable, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen talk about what to do when life gets stressful and everything feels out of control. They explain that most people panic, quit their goals, and then feel even worse. Instead, they tell you to slow down, breathe, and focus on what you can control, like meal prep, water, steps, and protein.They answer a question about wanting to throw your scale across the room. They explain that weight goes up and down for many reasons, and you need more weigh-ins each week to see the real trend. They also talk about why avoiding the scale can backfire later.Next, they talk about “bulk” vs “lean” pre-workout and explain it depends on your goal, but most people don't need different supplements for different phases. Finally, they answer a question about struggling to believe healthy habits can last forever. They remind you that you don't have to do it forever right now. You just have to do it one more day, and keep stacking small wins.Chapters(00:00) Q&A Roundtable Intro and Why People Panic When Life Gets Hard(01:05) Slow Down, Make a Plan, Focus on the Biggest Needle Driver(02:46) Your Reaction to Chaos Can Make Everything Worse(05:10) Client Story: Staying on Track During Stress(08:22) Q1: How to Stop Hating the Scale Every Weigh-In(10:14) Why You Need More Weigh-Ins for Better Data(12:00) The Scale Is Not a Grade for Your Effort(16:08) Maintenance Tip: Keep Weighing In and Set an “Oh Crap” Number(20:05) Q2: Bulk vs Lean Pre-Workout(22:55) Q3: “How Do I Believe This Can Stick for Life?”(25:02) One More Day and Shrink the Habit(29:29) Wrap Up and Submit QuestionsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

Epstein List Meltdown, RFK & Kid Rock's “Bro Workout,” and NYC's Print-Money Housing Plan Dan and Corey riff on the awkwardly named “12 day war” and the possibility of another Iran conflict, arguing U.S. war cycles and shifting goalposts (from nukes to missiles/protests) mirror past regime-change disasters like Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. They spend time on Epstein, insisting elites across both parties are implicated, questioning why there's no major public uprising, and describing how internet “fog” and clips like the Leslie Wexner deposition hot-mic muddy real accountability. Comedy bits include Dan's vivid dream about arranging a Jake Paul–sanctioned fight with Tim Pool, plus a long roast of an RFK Jr./Kid Rock workout video. They mock AOC's Munich foreign-policy “word salad,” praise Tim Burchett's anti-DOJ/uniparty rant, and hammer NYC socialist-style housing proposals (government-funded rent, printing money), warning rent caps and higher property taxes lead to slums. The episode closes by tying inflation to war spending (via a Dave Smith clip) and criticizing Democrats for not releasing Epstein files or pursuing indictments sooner. 00:00 Welcome to Libservative: War Jokes & the ‘12-Day War' Name 02:02 This Week's Rundown: AOC, Aliens, Epstein Fallout & More 02:59 Cutting Back on Booze = Vivid Dreams (Jake Paul vs Tim Pool) 06:36 RFK Jr + Kid Rock's ‘Ultra-Gay' Workout Video Breakdown 11:17 Epstein List: Why No Mass Protests & Why ‘It's All of Them' 18:11 Wexner Deposition Hot Mic & How the Internet Warps Everything 23:50 Accountability Crisis: Monarchy vs ‘Republic, If You Can Keep It' 28:50 DC Is One Party: Shutdown Votes, Schumer/Pelosi, and the Massey Feud 34:47 Iran War Watch: Mission Accomplished Theater & Moving Goalposts 41:08 Regime Change Blowback: Libya, Iraq, Syria as Warnings 42:45 War Isn't a Marvel Movie: The Real Costs of “Quick” Strikes 45:39 Ron Paul Was Right: Predictable Middle East Outcomes & Inflation at Home 46:56 Escalation Signals: Base Evacuations, Military Assets, and Israel's Endgame 49:10 “They Want to Be Freed” Myth: Rally-'Round-the-Flag & Speaking for Other Nations 55:53 From Foreign Wars to Domestic Freedom: Ali, Hampton, MLK & Class vs Race 01:04:43 Pivot to NYC Politics: Zoran Mamdani's Housing Plan Under the Microscope 01:07:18 ‘Housing Is a Right'?

Buy My Book The Retirement You Didn't See Coming Let's Chat About Your Retirement Plans Book a time for us to talk Episode Description You spent 30-40 years solving major crises. Now you're retired with total freedom, yet you're standing in your kitchen, heart racing, furious because the dishwasher isn't loaded correctly. Why does a misplaced set of keys feel like a military crisis? You have less pressure but feel more wound up than ever. If this sounds familiar, you're not crazy—you're suffering from "Redundant Brain" syndrome. This episode reveals why high-achievers struggle with trivial problems in retirement and gives you a three-step blueprint to fix them. The Problem: Your Brain Is Redundant For decades, your brain solved "Capital P" Problems—sales targets, mergers, logistical nightmares. These gave you competence hits and made you feel necessary. Then you retired. Those big problems vanished overnight. Your brain won't power down—it goes looking for work. Since the big problems are gone, it magnifies "little p" problems into full-blown crises. The Three Black Holes Work filled three massive voids. When you retire, they open up and your brain scrambles to fill them with anxiety. Void #1: The Structure Void Your schedule was automated: commute, meeting, lunch, deadline Now? Infinite empty calendar = decision fatigue Your brain creates missions from what's in front of it—a bank queue becomes the "Mission of the Day" Void #2: The Identity Void "What do you do?" had a clear answer: Director, GP, Engineer Now you're "Former Someone" Your brain over-performs on small tasks to prove worth: the barbecue becomes a military operation Void #3: The Social Connection Void Work provided effortless connection (even moaning about the boss) Retirement severs that—you're socially starved Your threat-detection goes haywire: neighbour doesn't wave = "They hate you" The Solution: Give Your Brain a New Job Description Don't tell yourself to "just relax." That's like telling a border collie to chill in a field of sheep—it'll chew the furniture. Step 1: Design Purposeful Anchors Schedule non-negotiable appointments with yourself: Physical Anchor: "I walk at 8 AM, rain or shine" Mental Anchor: "Tuesday & Thursday mornings: Learn Spanish" (feed the beast) Social Anchor: "Lunch with John, every Wednesday" These aren't hobbies—they're the scaffolding of your new life. Step 2: Shrink the Task When "Clean the Garage" feels like Everest, your Redundant Brain has turned it into a monster. Shrink it: Walk to garage Set timer for 15 minutes Pick up ONE item Reframe the burden into tiny victories. Give your brain the dopamine hit it craves. Step 3: The Worry Meeting When a worry pops up at 10 AM: "Good point. We'll discuss at the 4:30 PM meeting." Jot it down. At 4:30, sit for 15 minutes and catastrophize. When the timer goes off, the meeting is over. Most "crises" from 10 AM seem silly by 4:30. You're taking back control. The Bottom Line That overwhelmed feeling isn't a sign you're failing at retirement. It's a sign you have a high-performance engine that's just idling. You spent a career honing discipline, resilience, and problem-solving. Those skills didn't vanish. Use them to build your anchors, shrink the tasks, and manage the worry. You've crossed the finish line. Now enjoy the prize.

Frictionless checkout has become one of the most discussed topics in retail technology. But for enterprise retailers, the real question is not whether checkout can be frictionless. It is whether it can perform consistently under pressure. Checkout is where throughput, labor efficiency, compliance, and shrink converge. It is the operational control point of the store. In a conversation hosted by Emily Crowe, Editor-in-Chief at Progressive Grocer, Matt Redwood, VP Retail Technology Solutions at Diebold Nixdorf, joined Zara Ngouen, VP Information Technology at Lidl US, to examine what modern AI-enabled checkout requires at scale. The discussion explores how retailers are applying AI-powered age verification to reduce associate interventions while strengthening regulatory compliance. It addresses how real-time behavioral analytics can proactively identify risk patterns and support shrink reduction strategies. And it examines how retailers are redesigning front-end environments to balance automation with human oversight, preserving both efficiency and customer trust. A key theme throughout the conversation is that frictionless checkout is not about removing people or layering in disconnected technology. It is about intelligent retail infrastructure. AI, software, hardware, and services must work together to optimize front-end performance across diverse store formats. As labor volatility continues and cost pressure intensifies, front-end optimization has become a strategic priority. Retailers are rethinking checkout architecture not only to improve customer experience, but to strengthen operational resilience, reduce shrink exposure, and scale modernization efforts across large store estates. For retail executives evaluating AI checkout solutions, loss prevention technology, and automation strategies, this episode offers practical insight into how leading organizations are approaching front-end transformation today.

This week we're talking to Euan Manning of Irish band Cardinals who just released their terrific debut album Masquerade. We talk about the band's unique sound, which hinges on his brother Finn's accordion playing, and making their album at London's RAK Studios with producer Shrink.   Other topics of conversation include: getting to open for The Pogues in Boston and being part of Fontaines DC's massive show at London's Finsbury Park in 2025, the current music scene in Cork, their first trip to New York, five albums he thinks everyone should own, and more. -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein

On mission series, Y-etsha Bennett-Grant, 15 February 2026 

Precious metals markets showed resilience this week, with gold holding near $5,000 per oz and silver closing at $77.37 per oz despite a sharp, headline-driven flash crash selloff sparked by a now-denied report about Russia rejoining the U.S. dollar system. The brief volatility underscored how sensitive markets remain to geopolitical narratives, but physical demand trends suggest underlying strength. Second, tightening physical silver supply continues to stand out globally, with Chinese exchange silver bar inventories falling toward 25 million ounces and COMEX registered inventory down roughly 54% since India's surge in imports last fall. Strong buying from Turkey, India, and robust sales at the Perth Mint reinforce the idea that retail and institutional investors alike are rotating more aggressively into silver. Finally, the broader macro backdrop remains firmly supportive of bullion, as U.S. deficits approach $3 trillion annually and total federal debt nears $40 trillion. With stock-to-gold ratios breaking down and fiscal discipline appearing unlikely in the near term, the long-term debasement narrative continues to drive strategic allocations toward gold and other precious metals. Listen this week's podcast with an open mind — beyond the flash crash headlines and the political theater of ongoing congressional hearings, the real story unfolding in gold and silver may be far more significant than most investors realize.

If you feel like you're working out seven days a week just to get smaller but you still don't feel confident, energized, or powerful in your own skin...this episode is for you.The truth is, society has conditioned us to believe that "success" means shrinking. We're told that if we aren't exhausted after every workout, it doesn't count. But real, lasting transformation happens when you stop trying to disappear and start focusing on what you can build.In this episode of the Redefining Strength Podcast, I sit down with Tara LaFerrara. Tara is a premier fitness coach, creator of the Broads app, and an expert at helping women move away from the "all-or-nothing" mindset to build real strength and confidence.Together, we break down:The "Shrinking" Trap: Why success isn't measured by a number on the scale and how to shift your focus to taking up space.The HIIT Girly Phase: Why the "more is better" approach leads to burnout and how to transition to intentional lifting.Identity Shift: Why building a habit takes 60 days, but building an identity takes years and why most people stop too soon.The Challenge Gap: Why we stop challenging ourselves as we get older and how to regain the courage to be a beginner again.Filtering Information Overload: How to put blinders on when social media tells you there is only "one way" to train.The All-or-Nothing Solution: Practical strategies to win your day even when you can't get all ten things on your to-do list done.Under-Recovering vs. Overtraining: Why rest and deload weeks are actually the fast track to breaking through plateaus.If you've ever thought:“It only counts if I'm dripping in sweat and exhausted.”“I want to be strong, but I'm afraid of taking up too much space.”“I'm an all-or-nothing person; if I miss one workout, the whole week is ruined.”“I've built the habits, but I still don't feel like I've changed who I am.”This episode is for you.Chapters:00:00 – Stop Trying to Shrink!01:50 – Leaving the "HIIT Girly" Mindset Behind 14:27 – Why We Struggle to Be Beginners as Adults 19:22 – Habit vs. Identity: The Real Timeline for Change 25:21 – Filtering the "Information Overload" of Social Media 31:52 – How to Finally Break the All-or-Nothing Cycle 37:23 – Why Recovery & Deloading Are Non-Negotiable 

If central banks “control money,” why do we still get credit booms, banking crises, and bubbles, and what can a new Fed chair actually do about it? Who actually controls money, the central bank, commercial banks, or the markets? We break money into two parts: currency and finance . Once you see that split, a more unsettling reality appears: central banks can set the price of money (interest rates), but they don't directly control the quantity, because commercial banks create new money every time they approve a loan. From fractional reserve banking and the “pull” model of credit creation, to why Treasuries sit at the centre of the whole machine, we explain what central banks actually do Can Kevin Warsh tighten and cut at the same time? Markets moved on a single sentence. The politics want low rates. The plumbing wants discipline. Only one of those can win. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

(featured photo shows David, his wife Yvonne, and son, Joey, when young) Meet the Incredible Dr. David Antonuccio, Part 2 of 2 Shrink, Songwriter, and Hero Today we continue our conversation with my dear friend and esteemed colleague, Dr. David Antonuccio, a true scholar, clinician, researcher, musician, and champion of scientific transparency. The Nicotine Patch Study David revisited his landmark research on the nicotine patch, a costly trial involving roughly 600 participants who were randomly assigned to receive either a real nicotine patch or a sham patch. The goals were to assess safety and efficacy. The safety data looked reassuring. However, the efficacy findings were unexpected: the placebo patch worked just as well as the active nicotine patch in reducing smoking. The sponsoring company published the safety data but refused to publish—and refused David access to—the efficacy findings, which showed no advantage for the nicotine patch. You can check the link to the NEJM article here.  David writes: "Notice the 48 week follow-up data were excluded in this paper despite the fact that they were available. That really annoyed me. I also now believe that the original version of the paper was ghostwritten and ghost analyzed by the industry folks.in other words.  I'm not sure that the authors ever had access to the "raw" data before they were analyzed." This was important because there was a decrease in smoking DURING the study among those wearing the patch, and getting their "fix" of nicotine that way. . . but what happened AFTER the study?  David writes: "Here is the link to the follow up paper that emphasized efficacy and included the 48 week follow-up data." Notice that this paper was not published until three years later, when the Nicotine Patch had already been heavily advertised and sold on the market. This early experience in his career revealed the tension between marketing interests which focus on sales, and scientific interests which focus on truth and transparency—a daunting and frustrating pattern that would emerge again and again in his career. Expert Testimony in a Tragic Criminal Case David then described expert testimony he provided in a deeply troubling legal case. A 72-year-old woman, happily married for 50 years and a respected kindergarten teacher, had recently been prescribed Paxil, along with Ambien and Ativan. She abruptly, and without memory, woke up in the middle of the night and stabbed her husband 200 times and was subsequently arrested for homicide. There was no jury trial; instead, a plea bargain was used to determine sentencing. Dr. David Antonuccio was called as an expert witness in her defense. He described Dr. David Healy's research documenting a significant increase in both suicidal and violent urges among some patients taking SSRIs, especially Paxil. He argued that this woman's bizarre behavior was consistent with a drug-induced dissociative or fugue state. Based in part on David's testimony, the charge was reduced to manslaughter, and the judge sentenced her to time served, allowing her to return home to her children. For more on this topic: David Healy's Research on SSRIs and Homicidal Urge SSRIs Called on Carpet Over Violence Claims Black Box Warnings and Patient Rights David also emphasized the urgent need to revise Black Box warnings to reflect the full range of possible toxic or dissociative effects of psychiatric medications—not just suicidality. He has long advocated for a Patient Bill of Rights to ensure scientific transparency and informed consent. A Surprising Conversation with Dr. John Nash David shared a fascinating personal story about calling Dr. John Nash, whose life inspired the award-winning film A Beautiful Mind. In the movie, Nash's recovery from schizophrenia  is portrayed as medication-dependent. However, Nash told David directly that this was not true—the medication narrative was added to the script, possibly out of concern that portraying his recovery without meds might discourage viewers from taking prescribed medications. Nash said: "What saved me was the support of family and friends." Music, Truth, and "Buzz" David is also a talented songwriter. One of his songs, "Buzz," addresses the emotional and ethical issues surrounding electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The inspiration came from a man in the Midwest who was legally ordered to undergo ECT against his will. A widespread public outcry ultimately convinced the judge to rescind the order. Forgiveness and "In the Air Tonight" One of David's favorite songs is Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight," which he sees as a deeply spiritual musical meditation on forgiveness—a theme David considers one of the most powerful psychological forces we possess. David explains that the Phil Collin's song is about forgiveness, but more indirectly and specifically about the songwriter's inability to forgive. And yes—David sang it live for us on the podcast! You might be interested in this chapter that David coauthored on the science of forgiveness Thank you for joining us today. And heartfelt thanks to you, Dr. David Antonuccio, for your gifts of enlightened skepticism, ethical courage, incisive scientific thinking, and soulful musical talent. David, Rhonda, and David

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, our hosts Telis Demos and Miriam Gottfried get into why the market still hasn't made up its mind on Kevin Warsh's nomination as the Federal Reserve chair, and why gold and silver trades fell on the news.

Our hosts then break down the software selloff that followed Anthropic's release of new legal tools. After the break, Miriam is joined by Hemant Taneja, CEO of General Catalyst, at WSJ Invest Live. They discuss his investment philosophy in the age of AI.

Join Dr. Aziz LIVE for a 3-day virtual event: Not Nice LIVE > Go here for details and tickets.In this episode of Shrink for the Shy Guy, Dr. Aziz exposes one of the most insidious traps keeping people stuck in anxiety, guilt, and people-pleasing: The Nice Trap. This subtle form of self-erasure convinces you that being agreeable, self-sacrificing, and undemanding will earn you love, respect, and belonging. But in reality, it does the opposite. You feel anxious, disconnected, and unseen—because you're not showing up as you. Dr. Aziz breaks down how this trap gets wired early in life, the invisible rules that keep you playing small, and the internal “trip wires” that trigger guilt the moment you try to break free. More importantly, you'll learn how to spot those rules… and begin rewriting them. Packed with insights, mindset shifts, and real-world strategies, this episode invites you to reclaim your boundaries, speak your truth, and finally stop trading authenticity for approval.
