RNA episode 166 has news for 23 June 2026, with the Hudson creditors meeting again tomorrow, a new leadership hire at Davidson in Melbourne, Hays sells its operations in six European markets, legal right to work from home legislation is tabled in the Victorian state parliament, and the latest SEEK job ad data for May. Question of the Week is "Are large recruitment firms adopting a shrink-to-grow strategy?"

At the Boston Marathon, Brent was drowning. Miles from the finish. Physically spent. Mentally gone. He screamed at his brother: "Are you going to race with me today?" Kyle can't push the pedals. Brent can't find the finish line without him. That's not a limitation. That's the entire point. Brent and Kyle Pease have completed Ironmans, marathons, and the Ironman World Championship in Kona, together. But this conversation goes far beyond racing. It's about what 15 years of partnership, mission, and asking for help actually teaches you about leadership, trust, and building something that serves more than yourself. What You'll Learn In This Episode: How a childhood Challenger Baseball moment became the blueprint for everything they built What it really means to race as a "we" and how that translates to business Why motivation follows action, not the other way around What emotional maturity had more to do with breaking records than training The leadership definitions from Brent and Kyle that replace 35 books How to navigate obstacles by shrinking the world cone by cone Why asking for help is a competitive advantage, not a weakness How the Kyle Pease Foundation's employment program is redefining meaningful work for people with disabilities Key Takeaways: ✔️"I borrowed his legs. He borrowed my spirit." Neither can finish without the other and that's not a weakness. It's the model. ✔️Motivation follows action. It's fickle after a rah-rah speech. It's lasting when you create movement first. ✔️Leadership isn't the loudest voice. It's the willingness to be vulnerable, listen before speaking, and get out of the way so others can rise. ✔️Asking for help is a daily practice. Kyle has done it every day of his life out of necessity and it's the single most powerful lesson he's given the people around him. ✔️Shrink the world. In an Ironman, in a nonprofit, in a business, you don't run 140.6 miles. You run to the next cone. ✔️You're not building it for yourself. From day one, someone told them: congratulations, you're in business now, for somebody else. That became their north star. ✔️Everyone has a team. Even a solopreneur has a team, it's just your spouse, your kids, your church, the people who believe in you. ✔️Every step you take matters to more than just you.

When you're standing at life's crossroads—career, identity, or purpose whispering “there has to be more than this”—Pamela Stone delivers an audio letter straight to your heart. She reminds you that while everyone talks about the glow-up, no one warns you about the cost: letting go of habits, beliefs, and sometimes, even people. These changes, though lonely at times, are proof you're growing—not failing. You don't need to wait for permission or approval to rewrite your story. If you're ready to step into your next chapter—even if the path feels unclear—this loving message is for you. 3 Key Takeaways to Act On Today Release what no longer fits: Let go of outdated expectations, beliefs, and relationships that don't support your growth. Give yourself permission: You don't need anyone's approval to evolve or chase your dreams. Ask the right questions: Reflect on where you've been and where you want to go; your “what's next” starts by exploring what truly matters to you. You are not alone. This next chapter is yours to write. To Stay Connected with Me: www.sheshift.co  

A new report from Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick says Missouri is facing a budget cliff. Gov. Mike Kehoe says he thinks the state's budget needs to shrink as a result, and suggests some nonprofits or local municipalities could fund some programs instead.

In this episode, Ashley explores soul desires, authenticity, and the difference between what is truly ours and what has been shaped through conditioning. Inspired by a list she wrote at 19, she reflects on why some desires fall away while others stay with us for decades. She also touches on the current Mercury Retrograde shadow period and how getting mastitis (again), alongside a potential foot fracture, brought through some very clear realizations around how she has been shrinking herself. The episode ends with a little teaser of what is being announced next week.

Hey babe, can we talk for a minute? When was the last time you did something just because it made you happy? Not because it was productive. Not because it looked good on LinkedIn. Not because it checked a box or moved you closer to some imaginary finish line. Just because it brought you joy. Somewhere along the way, a lot of us got bamboozled into believing that being a responsible adult meant abandoning the very things that made us feel alive. We traded curiosity for caution, wonder for worry, and play for endless to-do lists. And frankly? That's a terrible deal. In this episode, we invite you to remember who you were before everyone had an opinion about how you should dress, act, love, work, dream, and exist. Before somebody convinced you that being "sensible" was more important than being yourself. We're talking about reconnecting with your inner child—not in a cheesy, kumbaya kind of way—but in a "hold up, that little girl actually knew some things" kind of way. What did she love? What made her lose track of time? What lit her up before the world started telling her to dim her shine? Because here's what we've learned: joy isn't a distraction from your purpose. Joy is often the path back to it! So if you've been waiting for a sign to take the class, start the project, buy the roller skates, dance in your living room, make the art, write the book, plant the garden, or do that thing you've been talking yourself out of for years... Baby, this is your sign

If you're an interior designer managing construction projects, you already know the feeling. You walk into a room, a jobsite, a contractor meeting, an industry event, and something in the air quietly suggests you don't fully belong there. That the builders and the architects and the trades have a kind of authority you haven't quite earned yet. And without even realizing it, you get a little smaller.   In this episode, I'm talking about what happens when interior designers shrink on jobsites and in rooms they weren't expected to be in, the over-explaining, the unnecessary apologies, the deferred decisions, and why each one compounds into something that costs you more than you realize. I'm also sharing the concrete language and the 60-second practice that changes how you walk into any room from here on out. Because your authority isn't something you earn once you're in the room. It's something you carry in with you.   Mentioned in this episode: Join The Designer's Edge waitlist here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/construction-management-interior-designers Grab Your Free Script Guide here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/push-back-script-handout Access the full video interview with Elana Steele of Steele Appliance here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/appliance Find the full shownotes at: https://devignierdesign.com/interior-designer-confidence-jobsites

https://teachhoops.com/ Episode Title: How Do You Stop the One-Mistake Spiral Before It Destroys a Game? Every coach has seen it: one mistake turns into two, body language collapses, and a player checks out mentally. This episode gives you a simple, repeatable system to stop the spiral in real time—without speeches, posters, or “shake it off” coaching. You'll learn how to train the reset like a skill so it shows up when the game gets tight. Why most players spiral after mistakes (and why motivation doesn't fix it long-term) The “micro-focus” method that shrinks pressure down to the next playable moment How to install one program-wide reset cue (“Next,” “Neutral,” or WIMC) A simple breathing tool that helps players regain control in high-pressure moments How to clean up self-talk so it becomes a weapon, not a liability A scrimmage scoring twist that rewards “resets” instead of points Players don't lack toughness—they lack a system for adversity. When pressure hits, the brain narrows, focus shrinks, and mistakes compound because there's no reset protocol to return to neutral. 1) Shrink the moment Train players to focus on the next controllable action: next play, next stop, next box out, next sprint back. 2) Use one reset cue Pick one cue for the entire program (ex: “Next,” “Neutral,” WIMC = What's In My Control). Train it daily so it becomes automatic. 3) Practice calm on purpose Use breathing as a skill, not a suggestion: box breathing (4-4-4-4) and the late-game quick reset (4 in, 8 out). 4) Replace negative self-talk with action cues Teach athletes to identify the negative thought and replace it with one short physical cue (ex: “Strong hands,” “Stay low,” “Talk early,” “See the rim”). Short live play segments (ex: two-minute games) where teams earn points for responding correctly after mistakes: sprint back, communicate, execute the next right decision. No points for complaining, blaming, or bad body language. When you see the spiral starting: don't lecture. Name the reset, get one breath, demand communication, and run one clean action to create a quick win (stop, rebound, quality shot). Pick ONE reset cue today. Train it for 30 days. Build it into the first three minutes of practice. When the lights come on, your team won't rise to the moment—they'll fall to their training.

Have you ever watched your child melt down before a project even begins, refuse to try unless they're sure they'll succeed, or abandon something halfway through? If so, you're not alone—and it's not laziness or stubbornness. This week on the podcast, we're unpacking the hidden side of perfectionism in our neurodivergent kids, especially when it shows up as avoidance.   Key Takeaways Normalize Beginnerhood: Let your child see you start new things and make mistakes—show them it's okay not to be perfect right away. Shrink the Entry Point: Break projects into tiny, manageable steps so getting started feels less intimidating. Praise Effort, Not Perfection: Celebrate risk-taking, persistence, and trying—mistakes are experiences, not identity. Model Emotional Safety: Remind your child that progress matters, mistakes are allowed, and their worth isn't tied to performance. Collaborate & Scaffold: Offer body-doubling, share in tasks, and provide extra support when needed—support is not failure.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

alming Anxiety About the Future — A Guided Meditation for UncertaintyDo you find yourself constantly rehearsing every difficult conversation or bracing for things that haven't happened yet? When the future feels uncertain, the mind naturally tries to solve it by running through every possible outcome. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, host Martin Hewlett—a clinical hypnotist and former frontline paramedic—invites you to stop rehearsing and return to the safety of the present moment.Because the mind cannot find peace whilst the nervous system is still scanning for danger, we begin by settling the body through a targeted vagus nerve reset. Martin shares a vital lesson from his time as a paramedic: the body and mind are extraordinary at handling what is actually happening, but they struggle with the imagined danger created by an unchecked imagination.Whether you are sitting or lying down, use this 10-minute guided meditation to release every thought about tomorrow and realize that you are more capable than your anxiety gives you credit for.Go deeper with the Anxiety Circuit Breaker Course—five focused clinical hypnotherapy sessions—available at calminganxiety.fm.Episode Chapters00:00 – Why Your Mind Reverses the Future 00:39 – Meet Martin Hewlett: Clinical Hypnotist & Former Paramedic 01:17 – Settling the Nervous System: The Vagus Nerve Reset 03:51 – Visualization: Grounding Yourself in a Vast Landscape 05:43 – Lessons from a Paramedic: Real vs. Imagined Danger 07:24 – Guided Affirmations for Trust and Calm 08:43 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Future Anxiety 09:48 – Returning to the Real World: Awareness & Stretch Future-Focus AffirmationsRepeat these internally to ground your subconscious:"I release my need to control what I cannot yet see."

Focus on one window, one step.Return to the Body: Future anxiety lives in the head; your body is always in the present. Press your feet flat to the floor and feel your weight.A Note of CareYou've done something important today by choosing to stop rehearsing and start resting. That takes real courage. If this session helped you, please share it with someone else who might need a daily coffee break for the soul.In everything you do today, my friend, be kind.

Most advice about focus sounds simple: give them breaks, reduce distractions, use a timer, etc.  But for many kids with ADHD, the real struggle is not "focus" as one big thing. It is the tiny moments inside focus: starting, staying with it, transitioning, managing frustration, and not shutting down halfway through. In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, Dana Kay sits down with Dr. Norrine Russell, founder of Russell Coaching for Students and creator of Connected Coaching, to talk about the practical micro-skills behind focus. Dr. Russell explains why telling a child to "just focus" often backfires, and what parents can do instead to support executive functioning in a way that actually helps. Parents will learn how to shrink the starting point, reduce cognitive load, use presence without hovering, support emotional regulation with empathy, and create simple systems like whiteboards and second screens. This conversation is full of practical, doable strategies for helping kids move from stuck and overwhelmed to supported and capable. LINKS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW Russell Coaching: https://russellcoaching.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/russellcoachingllc/ ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety, Breaking Out of the Box podcast Asking the Right Questions Before, During, and After Your Child's ADHD Diagnosis KEY AKEAWAYS [00:00] Most focus advice is too general and misses the specific moments where ADHD kids get stuck. [01:00] Focus is made up of smaller skills, and when one small skill is missing, the whole process can fall apart. [03:07] Dr. Russell explains the executive functioning skills behind focus, including starting, transitioning, sustained attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation. [06:14] Parents can help children begin by shrinking the starting point into one tiny, doable action. [07:59] Support should change with age, moving from direct guidance in younger years to internalized skills in older children. [09:30] Hovering increases stress and does not build self-regulation. [09:59] Parents can support focus by being visible but silent, then gradually moving farther away as the child matures. [12:59] Empathy is often the most helpful tool when a child becomes frustrated or overwhelmed. [16:11] Asking whether a child wants to be heard or helped can prevent over-helping and build problem-solving skills. [17:28] Reducing cognitive load is key, and a large whiteboard can help kids get thoughts, assignments, and goals out of their heads. [20:16] A second screen can reduce working memory demands for students using a laptop. [21:06] Sometimes the missing piece is not another strategy, but more time, support, acceptance, and brain maturation. [23:24] Texting can be a helpful way to communicate with children and teens in a way that gives them space to process and respond. MEMORABLE MOMENTS "Your child isn't struggling with focus sort of in general, they're struggling with very specific moments." "Focus isn't just one skill. It's a series of really small skills stacked together." "The least helpful thing that a parent can do is say something like, just focus, just get started." "Attention is like a muscle." "Shrink the starting point. Shrink the starting point." "Hovering is not helpful. Hovering is not helpful." "So you want to be visible, but silent."

https://teachhoops.com/ Episode Title: How Do You Stop the One-Mistake Spiral Before It Destroys a Game? Every coach has seen it: one mistake turns into two, body language collapses, and a player checks out mentally. This episode gives you a simple, repeatable system to stop the spiral in real time—without speeches, posters, or “shake it off” coaching. You'll learn how to train the reset like a skill so it shows up when the game gets tight. Why most players spiral after mistakes (and why motivation doesn't fix it long-term) The “micro-focus” method that shrinks pressure down to the next playable moment How to install one program-wide reset cue (“Next,” “Neutral,” or WIMC) A simple breathing tool that helps players regain control in high-pressure moments How to clean up self-talk so it becomes a weapon, not a liability A scrimmage scoring twist that rewards “resets” instead of points Players don't lack toughness—they lack a system for adversity. When pressure hits, the brain narrows, focus shrinks, and mistakes compound because there's no reset protocol to return to neutral. 1) Shrink the moment Train players to focus on the next controllable action: next play, next stop, next box out, next sprint back. 2) Use one reset cue Pick one cue for the entire program (ex: “Next,” “Neutral,” WIMC = What's In My Control). Train it daily so it becomes automatic. 3) Practice calm on purpose Use breathing as a skill, not a suggestion: box breathing (4-4-4-4) and the late-game quick reset (4 in, 8 out). 4) Replace negative self-talk with action cues Teach athletes to identify the negative thought and replace it with one short physical cue (ex: “Strong hands,” “Stay low,” “Talk early,” “See the rim”). Short live play segments (ex: two-minute games) where teams earn points for responding correctly after mistakes: sprint back, communicate, execute the next right decision. No points for complaining, blaming, or bad body language. When you see the spiral starting: don't lecture. Name the reset, get one breath, demand communication, and run one clean action to create a quick win (stop, rebound, quality shot). Pick ONE reset cue today. Train it for 30 days. Build it into the first three minutes of practice. When the lights come on, your team won't rise to the moment—they'll fall to their training.

People-pleasing is not a personality trait—it is an anxiety response. Learn how this behavior is running your leadership and how to break free as a Christian woman in leadership. You said yes again. You knew before the words left your mouth that you did not have the time. Every part of you wanted to say no. But the thought of that awkward pause — the look of disappointment, the possibility that someone might be upset with you — felt unbearable. So, you smiled. You said, of course. And then you went home and quietly resented it. If this sounds familiar, you are not weak. You are not a pushover. Instead, you are stuck in a loop — the anxiety response loop — and people-pleasing is one of its most common, most costly, and most misunderstood expressions. People-Pleasing and Anxiety: More Than a Personality Trait Where People-Pleasing Comes From in Christian Women Leaders People-pleasing does not appear from nowhere. It takes root in specific developmental environments of childhood. Therefore, being aware of it and understanding its origin are the first and most important steps toward freedom. Emotional Chaos and Unsafe Environments Emotional Neglect and the Need for Approval Anxiety and the Fawn Response Loop Guilt, Shame, and People-Pleasing What People-Pleasing Looks Like in a Leader People-pleasing in high-achieving women does not always look like weakness. Often, it is far more sophisticated — and far more invisible. Do any of these feel familiar? You . . . Agree in the meeting and complain about it later. Over-explain, over-apologize, and over-qualify everything you say. Take on work that is not yours because saying no feels impossible. Avoid difficult conversations until resentment forces you to address them. Cannot make a decision without polling everyone around you first. Shrink your needs and opinions to make space for others. Say yes to everything — and then quietly burn out from the inside. People-Pleasing Keeps You in the Anxiety Response Loop Pleasing God vs. People-Pleasing: A Word for Christian Women in Leadership Galatians 1:10 Proverbs 29:25 1 John 4:18 Philippians 4:6–7 How Christian Women in Leadership Can Break Free from People-Pleasing 1. Start with Awareness 2. Pause Before You Respond 3. Regulate Your Nervous System 4. Reclaim No as a Complete Sentence No is not unkind. Saying no is not selfish. Instead, look at no as a boundary. 5. Anchor Your Identity in Christ What People-Pleasing Freedom Looks Like in the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Your Next Step as a Christian Woman in Leadership This week, track your yeses. Every time you agree to something, pause for just a moment. Ask yourself: Is this a yes from my values, or a yes from my fear? Simply notice. As awareness builds, freedom will become a desired outcome. REFLECTION QUESTIONS Where in your life are you most likely to people-please — at work, at home, in friendships, or in your faith community? When you trace it back, what was the original experience that led you to believe people-pleasing was necessary for safety? What would it feel like to make one decision this week based solely on what you want and need — not on what others expect of you? Read the full show notes and access all links.

I used to think holiness meant learning how to want less — less food, less attention, less desire. Less me.Today we're sitting down with Anna Rollins, author of Famished: On Food, Sex, and Growing Up as a Good Girl, to talk about something many of us have felt but didn't have language for — how purity culture and diet culture quietly taught us the same message: good girls make themselves smaller.We talk about the hidden scripts we absorbed in church and culture, the exhaustion of trying to control our bodies to feel safe, and the moment everything starts to unravel.What if your hunger isn't something to fix, but something to listen to?This episode is an invitation to stop striving, to notice where fatigue is giving you feedback, and to begin reclaiming your God-given appetite — for rest, nourishment, connection, and joy.To connect with Anna, head over to https://www.annajrollins.com or @annajrollins on IG!Get Anna's book, Famished here: https://amzn.to/45l5oFA Submit a question for “Ask Han” here: https://forms.gle/qWGxyy9M5Q5N2tMz9 SUPPORT BY WORDS: https://buymeacoffee.com/bywordsMy favorite Bible studies + devotionals - HANNAHHUGHES10  for 10% off: https://thedailygraceco.com?dt_id=300773 CONNECT:hello@thehannahhughes.comhttps://www.instagram.com/thehannahhughes

There's a pattern most athletes know all too well. You miss a day. Maybe two. Life gets busy, travel stacks up, something throws you off your routine. And somewhere in that moment, a decision gets made—whether you realize it or not. "I'll start again Monday." "I need to get back on track." "I messed it up." And just like that, one missed day turns into a full reset. In this episode of the Champion Living Podcast, Doug Champion breaks down why this cycle keeps happening—and why the problem isn't the missed workout, the skipped session, or the imperfect week. It's the story you tell yourself after. Most people aren't lacking discipline. They're not lazy. They're operating under a standard that doesn't hold up in real life. A belief that if it isn't done perfectly, it doesn't count. That progress only exists under ideal conditions. And when those conditions break, so does the routine. But consistency isn't built in perfect weeks. It's built in the ones that don't go as planned. Doug walks through a different approach—one that removes the idea of "starting over" entirely. One that replaces perfection with momentum. Where a missed day is just that: a day. Not a failure. Not a reason to reset. Just part of the process. He introduces simple, practical rules that shift everything. Never miss two days in a row. Shrink your plan until it fits your real life, not the version of it you wish existed. Remove the "restart button" and continue forward, even if it's not perfect. Because the athletes who improve aren't the ones who execute flawlessly. They're the ones who stay in motion. Along the way, Doug also shares updates on upcoming Optimal Performance Academy opportunities, including limited availability in bull riding and bullfighting, and discusses options for individualized coaching through Champion Living Fitness and the HooeyFIT app. If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of stopping and restarting, this episode offers a different way forward—one built on consistency, not perfection.

After 12 years and over 600 episodes, Shrink for the Shy Guy is reaching its final installment. But this isn't an ending—it is a massive evolution. Starting next Wednesday, this same podcast feed will transform into a brand-new show: Authentic Confidence with Dr. Aziz. In this special transition episode, Dr. Aziz reflects on the journey that began in 2013. What started as a mission to help people overcome classic social anxiety has expanded into a much larger movement. He explores how shyness, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism are all "branches of the same tree," rooted in a single core issue: The Approval Trap.
