Visit us at shapedbydog.com   If your puppy's potty training isn't going as planned and you're finding puddles where you least expect them, it might be time for a reset. In this episode, I share the 10 most common reasons why puppies have accidents in the house and what you can do to help. You'll discover how to recognize your puppy's “tells,” adjust routines, supervision, and expectations and bring clarity and confidence back to potty training for both you and your puppy.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • Why a “potty trained” puppy might still have accidents in the house. • How the H.O.T. Method helps set every puppy up for success. • How accidents could signal a possible health issue and how to rule them out. • Why some puppies avoid going outside in certain weather or on specific surfaces. • How setting realistic expectations helps both you and your puppy. • The connection between supervision, freedom, and potty training progress. • The difference between managing behavior and actually training it. • How to recognize your puppy's “tells” and teach them to communicate. • Examples of some of my own dog's “tells.”  • Simple routines that make potty training consistent and reliable. • Why proper clean-up prevents repeat accidents. • How emotions or scolding can create confusion. • What might be reinforcing your puppy's indoor accidents. • How to use a positive interrupter to redirect accidents before they happen. • Why celebrating small wins builds lasting success. • How to see every accident as feedback and keep progress moving forward.   Resources:   1.

Ever met someone who felt off… but you jut couldn't explain why? The smile didn't reach their eyes. The story didn't add up. But you second-guessed yourself anyway.

I sat down with Chase Hughes, former U.S. Navy Chief and human behavior expert, to break down the science of spotting lies and decoding manipulation, before it destroys your confidence. He reveals the exact cues liars can't hide, how narcissists give themselves away, and the “bait question” that exposes guilt instantly. Here's exactly what you'll learn: The blink-rate trick that reveals stress and deception in real time How narcissists react when you show vulnerability The interrogation-style question that instantly exposes manipulators Chapter Titles: How to Spot a Lie in Seconds (The Zoom Call Breakdown) Blink Rate: The Body's Built-In Lie Detector Fake Openness & Closed Body Language The Language of Liars: Pronouns & Chronology The Punishment Question That Exposes Guilt Follow Chase Hughes: Website: https://www.chasehughes.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chasehughesofficial/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChaseHughesOfficial  Check out our sponsors: Magic Spoon: code LISABILYEU $5 off https://magicspoon.com/lisabilyeuVital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to https://www.vitalproteins.com and entering promo code WOI at check out.  Macy's: Upgrade your glam at https://macys.com Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisaOneSkin: 15% off code LISA at https://oneskin.co FOLLOW LISA: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/womenofimpact⁠Tik Tok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lisa_bilyeu?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I'm talking about something that so many of us struggle with: uncertainty. When answers haven't arrived yet, or when we know what's true but acting on it feels terrifying, our nervous systems crave safety and control. But the in-between isn't a punishment — it's a teacher. I open up about my own discomfort with waiting and how I've learned to anchor into safety inside myself instead of rushing for external clarity. You'll learn why slowing your timeline, grounding into your body, and naming what's true right now can shift the way you experience uncertainty. The in-between may feel shaky, but it's also where growth and truth emerge. You're not behind. You're exactly where you need to be. In this episode, I share: How to stop making uncertainty mean something's wrong with you Simple tools to ground yourself in the present moment Why waiting doesn't mean nothing is happening A compassionate perspective on in-between seasons If you're tired of spinning in “not knowing,” I'd love to help you walk through it with strength and support.

Dr. William Li, a world-renowned physician and scientist, discusses the power of food as medicine and its profound influence on health, including its ability to repair DNA, starve cancer cells, and boost the body's five natural defense systems. Drawing on his extensive research, he reveals how everyday dietary choices can activate healing mechanisms like angiogenesis, regeneration, and immunity, providing actionable insights to optimise metabolism, fight disease, and support longevity KEY TAKEAWAYS: Food acts as medicine by activating the body's five health defense systems: angiogenesis (blood vessel health), regeneration (stem cells), the microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity. The focus should be on adding health-boosting foods you enjoy, such as broccoli sprouts, blueberries, kiwi, and tree nuts, rather than restrictive dieting, as nutritional diversity is key to supporting these defense systems. Simple, consistent dietary changes can rewire your metabolism and help the body regulate sugar, manage inflammation, and burn fat, often reducing reliance on medication. Certain plant-based foods contain bioactives like lycopene (in tomatoes) and polyphenols (in tea and berries) that are critical for supporting the gut microbiome TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 02:06 What people get wrong about fat loss 04:28 How food can activate the body's healing defense systems. 07:48 Dr. Li's research-based meal plan 10:16 Discussion of foods that lower inflammation VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Full episode link https://lnk.to/EP508  ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

If you've ever said, “I hate how I sound on camera,” or “I'll start recording when I feel more confident,” this episode is for you. Today, I'm walking you through the mindset, strategy, and tech behind showing up confidently on video—even if you're starting with nothing but a phone and a window. I'll share the personal story of how I went from rerecording videos in a sweat to showing up raw and real—and actually getting clients from my videos. We'll unpack the real fear (spoiler: it's not about the camera), how to reframe visibility, and what equipment you really need to get started. Whether you're recording reels, going live, or just trying to stop cringing when you watch yourself back—this is your permission slip to show up imperfectly and still create impact. Key Takeaways Why fear of video is really fear of judgment—not the lens How I overcame my own visibility fears Simple mindset shifts that lead to real confidence A beginner-friendly list of camera, lighting, and mic options Why you don't need a studio or “perfect” script The #1 rule to get out of your head and into service Real talk on practice, progress, and perfectionism How video builds trust faster than any graphic or quote ever could What to say in your very first on-camera intro

This one changes the game.Key TakeawaysYou Don't Get What You Want — You Get What You Expect Expectation is not a mindset; it's a nervous system calibration rooted in what you feel you deserve.Deservedness Is the Ceiling of Manifestation If you don't believe you deserve something, your body will reject it — no matter how badly you want it.The Creation Process is Simple, But Not Easy Clarity, certainty, and commitment — but the real block is the story of what you're allowed to have.Self-Sabotage Is Just Expectation in Disguise When your external actions don't match your internal deserving, you'll unconsciously push it all away.You Can Choose to Deserve It Now Worthiness isn't earned — it's chosen. And your life will respond the moment your energy shifts.Notable Quotes“You can't always have what you want, but you'll always get what you expect.”“When you don't expect to get it, it's because you don't believe you deserve it.”“The limitation of our expectation is what we do feel that we do deserve.”“I decided to choose to deserve it and take any condition out of the equation.”“God is giving us whatever we feel we deserve. God's just waiting for us to raise our deservedness game.”Call to Action

A Complementary Approach That Takes Just a Few Minutes a Day The Sleep Apnea Solution has helped thousands take back control of their sleep by focusing on a critical—yet often overlooked—factor: your breathing pattern.Written by Dylan Petkus, MD, MPH, MS—a medically trained (but not licensed by choice) sleep educator featured in Healthline, Forbes, TIME, and Yahoo! Life—this guide blends deep scientific knowledge with personal experience.After facing his own struggles with obstructive sleep apnea and finding limited relief through traditional options like CPAPs and mouthguards, Dylan took a different path. He chose to focus on education and prevention rather than prescriptions or procedures. That's why he is not medically licensed by choice—so he can serve others freely as an educator and put the power back in the hands of people for their best health.Dylan Petkus went on a multi-year journey exploring natural, science-informed methods to support breathing, airway function, and sleep quality. The strategies in this book are the result of that work—designed to complement medical care, not replace it. This has helped Dylan Petkus be medically clear of sleep apnea, and this is not intended to cure or treat sleep apnea.Inside, you'll discover:The mechanics of sleep apnea and how breathing impacts your rest.How to partner with your doctor while exploring complementary options.Simple lifestyle and breathing techniques that take just minutes a day.A step-by-step approach to building your own personalized routine.You'll also get 11 free resources, including guided breathing tracks and tools to help you take action.Whether you're just starting your journey or looking for a fresh approach, The Sleep Apnea Solution empowers you to make real, lasting change—on your terms.https://dylanpetkusmd.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

It's your financial pep talk with a playbook.  

The first time I had much use for poetry came in college, freshmen year. My professor assigned each of us to memorize a poem and recite it in class. Horrified, I chose ee cummings' "anyone lived in a pretty how town" and began the process of reading it a million times between tennis practices and snowball fights. Over and over and over I read it, trying to memorize how the words and lines zipped together without the usual literary wardrobe of grammar. I can still remember pieces, twenty five years later: "anyone lived in a pretty how town / with up so many floating bells down..." "no one loved him more by more..." As I read and read, I realized the poem featured two characters named "anyone" and "no one." I began to understand how the years passed quickly through the lines and stanzas, as cycles of time spun through small word choices. I saw its heartbreak. Reading by reading I began to find it utterly beautiful. By the time my friends and I went out to practice for our class presentation by reciting our poems in the middle of Pomona College's outdoor Greek theater late one night, I loved it. But I was still really nervous. As an educator, I've often wondered how to help students get as close up to a poem as I got to ee cummings' "anyone lived in a pretty how town." What makes it possible to step inside the story of a poem, try on its language, dream its dreams? Maybe without having to recite it though? This month I had a chance to explore some of Robert Scott Root-Bernstein and Michèle Root-Bernstein book, Sparks of Genius: The Thirteen Thinking Tools of the World's Most Creative People. Inside, they discuss the risk of education staying on a kind of hypothetical parallel track to the realities of the world, each so close to each other and yet never quite touching. Imagination and experience, they suggest, have become disconnected. "This being the case," write the Root-Bernsteins, "the task for educators, self-learners, and parents is simply put: to reunite the two. And the world's most creative people tell us how in their own words and deeds, in their own explorations of their own minds at work. What they find as individuals, when taken as a whole, is a common set of thinking tools at the heart of creative understanding" (24-25). What are these tools, you might well ask, and what do they have to do with ee cummings, students, and the study of poetry? The tools are: observing, imaging, abstracting, recognizing patterns, forming patterns, analogizing, body thinking, empathizing, dimensional thinking, modeling, playing, transforming, and synthesizing. They're pretty fascinating to play around with when it comes to designing curriculum. How might we help students better understand a poem, using these tools? I decided to experiment with designing around patterns when it comes to ee cummings, a master of writing in rhythms and cycles. The nexus of patterns and poetry had me thinking of blackout poetry at first, but of course, I already had a poem. I didn't need a new one. So I decided to try a new spin on the blackout - blacking out for discovering meaning, instead of to create a new poem. Instead of a blackout poem, I would try a poem blackout, illuminating what patterns I could find by eliminating everything else. For me, the results were powerful. So today on the pod, let me walk you through how to do a poem blackout of your own in class, with any poem you might want to dig deeply into with students. If you love blackout poetry, I think you'll love this riff. As usual, I really encourage you to check out the show notes for the oh-so-necessary visuals to complement this episode.

In this episode of the Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, Dr. Whitney reconnects with longtime friend and colleague Dr. Anne-Ming Yeh—Stanford-trained pediatric gastroenterologist, integrative medicine specialist, and author of Constipation Conquered: A Holistic Guide to Your Child's Constipation.Together, they tackle a surprisingly common (and often frustrating) parenting challenge: constipation in kids. Dr. Yeh shares why she wrote her new book, how she blends evidence-based medicine with integrative approaches, and what parents can realistically do to help their kids—from picky toddlers to neurodivergent kids with unique needs.You'll learn:The truth about common constipation myths (spoiler: laxatives aren't evil).How to know whether your child's constipation is mild, moderate, or severe—and when to seek specialist care.Simple prevention tips: the right balance of fluid before fiber, why leafy greens act like a “broomstick for your gut,” and how bananas might be binding.Why the gut-brain connection matters, and how small daily rituals (from tea time to affirmations to Snoop Dogg's kids' album!) can actually support digestion.The difference between “mush” (softening stool) and “push” (helping the colon's muscles coordinate), and why some kids may need specialized therapies like biofeedback.Why integrative medicine is about both/and—using food as medicine when possible, and leaning on safe medications when necessary.This conversation is practical, reassuring, and yes—sometimes even funny. It's a reminder that while poop may not be a glamorous parenting topic, helping kids feel comfortable, confident, and healthy in their bodies is always worth it.______This episode is brought to you by Suvie: If dinnertime is your daily chaos hour, I've got something game-changing.It's called Suvie.
