In this episode of the podcast, leadership strategist Alan is joined by Brandon Young—Army Ranger veteran, leadership expert, and co-founder of Applied Leadership Partners. Together, they explore how leaders can develop the mindset and skill set to thrive, not just survive, through seasons of high pressure, deep uncertainty, and prolonged adversity. Brandon brings over 25 years of frontline leadership experience, from elite military operations to scaling nonprofits and navigating complex corporate restructures. This isn't a theoretical conversation—it's a grounded, real-world exploration of how mission-focused leaders can build perseverance, resist burnout, and lead with clarity in unpredictable environments. Topics Covered: Brandon's formative years in the Army and how special operations shaped his leadership foundation The difference between endurance and perseverance—and why the latter is essential for modern leaders Why leaders are facing “justification fatigue” and how to build speed to trust using the C.A.R.E. model (Candor, Authenticity, Reliability, Empathy) How to counter the loneliness of leadership through shared emotional load and intentional relational rhythms Strategic pauses vs. false finish lines: how tactical rest can save your mission The five pillars of perseverance: Change, Uncertainty, Acceptance, Choice, and Growth Why clarity—not certainty—is the real antidote to fear-based decision-making How to lead others through ambiguity using frameworks drawn from combat-tested leadership models Practical tips for shrinking your world to reclaim agency and make wise decisions under pressure Key Takeaways: Leadership doesn't have to be lonely—but it does have to be intentional. False finish lines will break your team. Build tactical halts into your rhythm. Clarity creates agency. Shrink your focus, extend your vision. Rest isn't quitting—it's preparation for longevity in mission-critical environments. The mission is greater than the moment. Don't mistake pressure for purpose.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Cecilia Poullain discuss:The intersection of personal transformation and professional identityNavigating and overcoming fear through self-expressionThe power of storytelling in reclaiming one's voiceShifting from traditional career paths to more authentic, purpose-driven lives Key Takeaways:To overcome fear of public speaking or visibility, engage in practices like vocal training or performance-based activities that reconnect you with your physical voice and sense of self-expression.Before pursuing a major career opportunity, reflect deeply on whether the role aligns with your true values and identity, rather than simply accepting it based on prestige or external validation.Avoid falling into perfectionism by giving yourself permission to make mistakes, take small experimental steps, and speak up even when your contribution feels imperfect or incomplete.Create intentional professional communities where you can actively contribute, connect with aligned individuals, and develop visibility, rather than waiting passively for recognition or advancement. " A real destroyer of confidence is perfectionism." —  Cecilia Poullain Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

In this eye-opening episode of Shrink for the Shy Guy, Dr. Aziz introduces what might be the most underrated yet transformational key to building confidence and reducing social anxiety: expanding your capacity. It might not sound glamorous, but this principle is the real “magic juice” for lasting confidence. Dr. Aziz explains that every person has an emotional and psychological threshold for discomfort—whether it's rejection, conflict, criticism, or awkwardness—and those with social anxiety often have a lower capacity in these areas. The breakthrough? Confidence grows not by avoiding discomfort, but by intentionally leaning into it. By reframing your experiences as opportunities to expand your capacity rather than threats to avoid, you open the door to extraordinary growth. Whether it's speaking up at work, handling rejection in dating, or saying what you really think in a group—these are not scary “failures” to avoid but moments to train your emotional muscles. Dr. Aziz shares stories from real client breakthroughs, including one man who concluded after a single awkward phone call that he should “never talk to a woman on the phone again.” Through humor and insight, Dr. Aziz reveals how easily we draw limiting conclusions and how much power we reclaim when we choose to stay in the discomfort zone just long enough to grow.

In this deeply honest conversation, Dr. Jennifer Reid speaks with cartoonist and author, Becky Barnicoat, about her graphic memoir, Cry When the Baby Cries, inspired by a massively popular cartoon she created for The New Yorker. Together they explore the messy, beautiful, and often isolating experience of modern motherhood—from IVF struggles and miscarriage to postpartum transformations and the bittersweet joy of watching children grow and change.On Drawing Her Graphic Memoir"The drawings that I did sort of started to kind of suggest a kind of wild, maybe slightly unhinged mother home alone with her baby... maybe refusing to conform to social expectations, maybe not being able to conform, you know, because of tiredness, because of mental distress and isolation."IVF and Fertility Struggles"I struggled to confide in anyone for a long time. The only person that knew was my husband and I felt so alone... I think I started to become really quite depressed and the way that that manifested for me was that the world started to feel unsafe and quite hostile."The Shock of New Parenthood"It's just one of the most kind of beautiful but painful experiences available."Postpartum Bodies and Society's Expectations"Kids and like bodies that have given birth are not very welcome in society. And I think that's a real shame and it's to all of our detriment."Becky Barnicoat is a cartoonist and writer for The New Yorker, The Guardian, The New Statesman, Grazia, BuzzFeed and more. Before becoming a full-time cartoonist, she spent 10 years working as an editor and writer at The Guardian. She is the author of the graphic memoir Cry When the Baby Cries, a darkly funny account of her first years as a parent. She lives in the UK.Warning: episode mentions sexual assault and graphic images of childbirthThanks for reading A Mind of Her Own and listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast!

Have you ever gotten an apology that left you feeling… worse? In this powerful episode of The Mama Shrink Podcast, Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver breaks down the subtle art of the toxic apology. If you've ever felt confused, blamed, or dismissed after someone said “sorry,” this one's for you. You'll learn how to spot the difference between a real apology and manipulative gaslighting. Whether you're co-parenting with a narcissist, recovering from emotional abuse, or simply trying to model healthy behavior for your kids, this episode will help you reclaim your clarity and power. Dr. Cynthia explains: The 3 elements of a genuine, healing apology Why “I'm sorry you feel that way” is not an apology How toxic apologies impact your mental health and contribute to burnout How to set boundaries and stop blaming yourself This episode is essential listening for high-functioning moms navigating emotional manipulation, parallel parenting, and the exhausting cycle of narcissistic burnout.

Disclaimer: this episode touches on mental health, addiction, and suicide.   What if the most meaningful chapter of your life hasn't even begun yet? Many women think their most important work is behind them once their children are grown. However, my guest this week believes this mindset is not only limiting but potentially harmful to our relationships, our families, and our communities.    In this eye-opening conversation with inspiring philanthropist and mother of six Kristin Andrus, we explore why women should be expanding rather than contracting in the second half of life. As someone who has built a life around contribution rather than duty, Kristin offers refreshing insights on finding purpose beyond the traditional roles we've been assigned.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/513

In this refreshing episode of Shrink for the Shy Guy, Dr. Aziz dives into a deceptively simple question with massive implications: “Are you apologizing too much?” Most people don't even realize how often they say “sorry”—not just in words, but in their tone, posture, and energy. If you constantly feel responsible for other people's reactions, discomfort, or expectations—even when you didn't do anything wrong—you're likely trapped in a loop of unconscious over-apologizing. And that loop isn't just exhausting—it's eroding your confidence and subtly reshaping your relationships. Dr. Aziz breaks down how unnecessary apologies stem from overactive guilt systems and people-pleasing conditioning, often developed in childhood. You'll discover how to recognize the difference between healthy, empathy-based apologies and guilt-driven ones that actually weaken connection. Plus, you'll learn a simple internal filter: before apologizing, pause and ask yourself, “Did I actually do something wrong?” Then, try this bonus lens—what would I tell a friend to do in this situation?

Have you ever wondered if it's okay to raise your voice or show big emotion when you're deeply upset—without damaging your relationships? In this powerful conversation, Tera, Dr. Glenn, and Phyllis dive deep into what it really means to express emotions like anger, fear, or sadness in a way that fosters connection instead of creating conflict. From breaking down the difference between acting through emotions and naming them out loud, to confronting the fear of “not being sweet enough,” the hosts unpack the beauty of emotional clarity and the science-backed power of saying emotion words out loud. This episode offers both raw vulnerability and practical tools to help you show up as your full, intense self—without shutting down or blowing up.Links and Resources:Download the Core Emotion Wheel: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.connectioncodes.co/cew-podcast⁠⁠Find out how to become a Certified Coach: ⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/certified-coaching⁠⁠⁠Find a coach: ⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/all-coaches⁠⁠⁠Chapters:00:00:00 - Kicking It Off: Big Emotions and How to Handle Them00:01:01 - What It Really Means to Express Emotion00:02:38 - Spoiler: We're Not Here to Be “Sweet”00:04:13 - Why Saying “I Feel Angry” Can Change Everything00:06:12 - Letting Yourself Be Loud—Without Hurting Others00:08:45 - Anger Isn't the Villain: It's a Message00:10:47 - Teaching Respect Through Raw Honesty00:14:00 - When We Name It, We Process It—Together00:18:03 - From Suppressing to Sharing: A Personal Emotional Shift00:20:01 - Breaking the Fear Around Feeling Angry00:23:37 - Emotion Words = Human Connection Magic00:28:37 - Why the Core Emotion Wheel Is a Game-Changer00:34:23 - Final Words: You're Allowed to Feel Fully and Freely

Does exercise make you feel happy? How does sitting all day make you feel? These seem like easy questions to answer. But let's face it, even with our standing desks, our modern lifestyle makes it really easy to be sedentary more often than we'd like. We invited David Raichlen, a Biological Anthropologist whose fascinating research on how human evolution has shaped our need for physical activity to the podcast to really uncover how all this sitting is impacting our health, especially our brains. David has some great advice on how to grow your brain at any age and how to keep moving even when every convenience of our lifetime gives you the opportunity to just do nothing instead. Don't let your evolved drive to conserve energy fool you. Exercise is the magic pill that will benefit every part of your physiological system. And it doesn't have to be complicated. Whatever activity suits you, do that. Because the best exercise for physical and cognitive health is the one you will do.  https://www.raichlenlab.com/https://dornsife.usc.edu/heb/(00:01:07) Welcome David Raichlen, Biological Anthropologist to the podcast.(00:05:58) Is the happy feeling that comes with exercise an evolutionary survival mechanism?(00:10:33) Can humans actually grow their brains at any age?(00:15:40) Will the brain shrink without exercise?

For too long, women have been told that power belongs to men. In this unapologetic episode, Hilary Silver flips that script and names the truth out loud: women already hold the power—society just taught them to forget. Centered around a bold, taboo-breaking metaphor, Hilary dives deep into how patriarchy was built to control what it couldn't fully possess: female power, autonomy, and sexuality. Drawing from over 6,000 interviews with women over 40, she exposes how even the most outwardly successful women are still battling invisible chains of unworthiness and self-sacrifice.   Episode Highlights: What men really want more than money or power How patriarchy is built on controlling what it can't possess Why high-achieving women often secretly struggle with self-worth The emotional labor and silence women have been conditioned to accept The first steps to reclaim your worth—without asking for permission Episode Breakdown: [00:00] Introduction [01:57] The Power Women Forget They Have [04:15]  How Girls Are Taught to Shrink [06:12] When Success Masks Low Self-Worth [09:24] Women's Sacred, Untapped Power [10:06] Stop Seeking Approval and Start Owning It [10:27] How to Reclaim Your Power, Starting Now [12:03] Join the Self-Centered Movement This isn't about blame—it's about reclaiming. Hilary calls on women to stop asking, stop apologizing, and stop shrinking. Instead, she challenges listeners to rise, lead, and live unapologetically, with power and presence. Because pussy power? It's real. And it's time women stopped pretending it isn't.

From the BBC World Service: From rising prices to falling trade volumes, the impact of radical new U.S. trade policies is starting to filter through. But China says it's still “fully confident” it will achieve its target of roughly 5% economic growth this year, despite the escalating trade tensions. Also, global airline revenues are expected to top $1 trillion for the first time this year — thanks, in part, to pesky fees.

In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin sits down with personal branding strategist and business coach Maya Elious to talk about building a purpose-driven, profitable business rooted in clarity and confidence. Maya shares how she helps female entrepreneurs, especially women of faith and color, identify their value, articulate their message, and charge what they're worth without guilt or confusion. The conversation covers the shift toward faith-based entrepreneurship, overcoming underpricing, the true meaning of humility in business, and the power of storytelling for positioning. With actionable advice on packaging offers, launching effectively, and aligning with meaningful values, Maya offers insight for anyone looking to grow their brand with intention and impact.Episode Outline[00:00] Introduction and welcome [02:00] Who is Maya Elious? Her mission with Build to Impact [04:50] Blogging origins and the faith-based business connection [09:20] Cultural shifts: Talking money, faith, and taboo topics [14:30] The misconception of humility in business [20:00] The power of personal branding without oversharing [26:15] Discipline, resilience, and the youth mindset shift [33:40] Why building community values is critical in today's world [39:20] Finding clarity through passion and frustration [43:00] Common pricing mistakes and how to overcome them [50:30] How to move past hourly rates and offer high-ticket packages [55:45] What truly makes an offer valuable? [01:02:00] Why value-based clients matter [01:08:10] The power of storytelling in positioning [01:13:00] Final thoughts: legacy and ripple effectWisdom NuggetsKnow What You Hate: Clarity doesn't always come from what you love—it can start with what frustrates you. Maya explains how the things that make your blood boil can help shape your message and mission.Don't Shrink to Be Humble: True humility doesn't mean undervaluing yourself. If being "humble" leads you to hide your skills, you're doing a disservice to those who need your gifts.Announcements Aren't Launches: Saying your offer exists is not the same as launching it. A successful launch involves consistent marketing, campaigns, and multiple touchpoints—just like major celebrities still do.Your First Testimonial is Your Own: Even without paid clients, your own results matter. Maya teaches how to build credibility by sharing personal transformation stories to attract aligned clients.Positioning Beats Pricing: Stop comparing prices—focus on creating value. Clients who see the value in your offer will care less about the price tag and more about the transformation they can achieve.Power Quotes:"People don't know how much to charge because they're always thinking from a place of lack." - Alex Quin "If being humble causes you to shrink, then you need to be something else." - Maya EliousConnect With the Podcast Host Maya Elious:Website: (https://www.mayaelious.com/)Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/mayaelious/)Connect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Our CommunityInstagram:(https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustle)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/HustleInspires)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustle)Website: (https://hustleinspireshustle.com)*This page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.

Whether you're focused on your fitness, career, relationships, or personal growth, the strategy I walk you through today is about starting small. Like, really small.I explain why your next step should always be the smallest action you're willing and able to take. Because if you try to take on too much too fast, there's a good chance you'll burn out or back away. But if you start with something manageable, something realistic for where you are right now, you build momentum.The key is to adjust based on what actually works for you, not what you think you should be doing. That's what long-term consistency is built on. This process is personal. It's flexible. It's yours to shape.So listen in, figure out the smallest step you can take toward your goal, and then email me to share it. I want to hear how you're applying this.

"Mothering is a messy, interrupted experience." "It's not an 'or' situation…it's despairing AND it's light."In this introspective conversation, Dr. Jennifer Reid speaks with psychotherapist Dr. Margo Lowy about her book Maternal Ambivalence: The Loving Moments and Bitter Truths of Motherhood. Dr. Lowy shares insights from her research and personal experience on maternal ambivalence, which she describes as "the mother's ability to hold together all her feelings and not disregard the difficult ones."Key Points:* Personal Journey* Dr. Lowy shares her experience with three children born across a span of 17 years.* She describes becoming less rigid and more able to "flow" with motherhood over time.* Her experience with secondary infertility highlights additional complexities in maternal emotions.* "What I want to normalize is for mums to let them know that they're not alone. We all have these feelings."* The Danger of Idealized Motherhood* Society expects mothers to be "fully selfless, fully caring, and really virtually on tap for our children."* This impossible standard undermines mothers' humanity and authenticity.* Children have an "antenna" for when parents are being genuine versus hiding feelings.* Motherhood as a Series of Losses* Each milestone brings both happiness and grief as children grow.* "Actually, mothering is a series of losses. It's an experience of expansion and contraction."* A mother's job is paradoxically "to be able to be left" by her child.* Creating Support Systems* Dr. Lowy advocates for creating spaces where mothers can share feelings without judgment.* The importance of surrounding yourself with people "that give you energy and that were kind of on my side and weren't judgy."* Social support is crucial during challenging periods like infertility.Dr. Reid on Instagram: @jenreidmd and LinkedInAlso check out Dr. Reid's regular contributions to Psychology Today: Think Like a Shrink.Thank you for listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast!

Welcome to today's episode of Shrink for the Shy Guy with Dr. Aziz! If you've ever felt stuck, procrastinated, or told yourself “I should…” but still didn't follow through — this episode is for you. Dr. Aziz reveals the three powerful secrets to breaking out of avoidance and finally taking the action you know will move your life forward. Whether it's social confidence, career growth, health habits, or daily routines — it all comes back to one key truth: Confidence is a byproduct of action. In this episode, you'll discover: Why resistance, groaning, and procrastination are totally normal (and how to break through them) The surprising way your identity story might be keeping you stuck How to use pain as powerful leverage (yes, really!) The missing piece that makes it way easier to follow through Why pleasure in the future is the key to taking action today Dr. Aziz also shares his personal story of emotional pain, transformation, and how one pivotal night in his 20s changed everything. If you're ready to overcome avoidance and create a life that energizes and fulfills you, this episode will give you both the mindset and momentum to start now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Do you often find yourself stuck in the cycle of procrastination, avoiding tasks that you know could improve your life? Whether it's taking social risks, having difficult conversations, or simply getting things done, we all face moments when it feels impossible to take action. In this post, I'm going to reveal the three secrets to breaking free from inaction and boosting your confidence. Secret #1: Recognize the Pattern The first step in overcoming procrastination and avoidance is to recognize the cycle you're in. It often starts with the feeling of fear—fear of failure, fear of judgment, or fear of discomfort. You know you should act, but instead, you avoid the task. You tell yourself “I should,” but you don't follow through. This internal tension leads to resistance, and eventually, you may find yourself stuck in a negative identity—thinking of yourself as someone who just can't follow through or is too scared to act. The first secret is to notice this pattern. Acknowledge that you're caught in it and make the decision to do something different. The more you notice it, the more you can break free from it and start acting from a place of empowerment, not fear. "Confidence is a byproduct of action. You won't feel confident until you take action." — Dr. Aziz Secret #2: Use Pain as Leverage Pain is one of the most powerful motivators for action. In fact, research shows that we are twice as motivated by pain as we are by pleasure. The key is to leverage pain in a constructive way. Ask yourself: What is the cost of inaction? If you keep avoiding something, where will it take you? In the case of social anxiety, it might be loneliness or missed career opportunities. By focusing on the pain of staying stuck, you can create a sense of urgency and motivate yourself to act. However, it's essential to not get lost in despair when reflecting on this pain. Instead, take ownership of the situation and realize that you can change things. When the pain of staying where you are exceeds the fear of the unknown, you'll finally take the leap. Secret #3: Focus on the Pleasure of Action While pain can push you to act, pleasure is what will keep you going. We often resist action because we focus on the discomfort of getting started, but if you shift your focus to the benefits of taking action, you'll find yourself motivated. For example, if you're avoiding a workout because it feels hard to start, remind yourself of how good you'll feel afterward—the energy, the sense of accomplishment, the pride in doing something for yourself. By training your mind to see the pleasure on the other side, you'll feel more compelled to take action. "Are you willing to be uncomfortable now to experience the extraordinary in your life?" — Dr. Aziz Taking Action: Your Next Step Now that you know the three secrets to taking action, it's time to put them into practice. Start by recognizing the patterns that hold you back, use pain and pleasure to motivate yourself, and take action even when it feels uncomfortable. If you want to make real progress in your life, the key is consistent action. The more you act, the more confidence you'll build. It's time to break free from the cycle of procrastination and start living boldly. Remember, confidence comes from doing—not waiting for the perfect moment or feeling ready. Take action today, and watch your confidence grow! You are capable of so much more than you realize. Keep going, and you'll soon be amazed at how far you can go. 4o mini

Betrayal hits different when you're a guy, especially when nobody's talking about it. This episode cracks open that silence with the "Betrayal Shrink," a therapist who's been through it himself and now helps other men navigate the gut-punch of infidelity, shame, and heartbreak. We're talking about the real stuff: what it means to be vulnerable, how toxic masculinity screws with healing, and why sharing your story might be the first step toward getting your life back. Plus, he walks through a no-BS recovery model from his book that helps men rebuild without losing their minds, or their dignity.https://mineralconference.com/register/sign-up/Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.
