Ep 108: When Rest Feels Wrong — Why Slowing Down Isn't Lazy, It's Faithful Description: Have you ever finally sat down for five quiet minutes, only to feel guilty for not doing something “productive”? As a Christian working mom, it can feel like the weight of your home, work, and family all rests on your shoulders. Slowing down? That feels risky—or even wrong. But what if your fear of rest isn't laziness—it's a misunderstanding of God's heart? In this episode, we're unpacking the spiritual reasons rest feels uncomfortable and why slowing down might actually be an act of trust and obedience. You'll learn why biblical rest is more than just self-care—it's soul-care. We'll explore: Why Christian moms feel guilty for resting The hidden beliefs that keep us stuck in over-functioning What Scripture really says about rest and identity How to trust God in the stillness Simple, grace-filled ways to start practicing true rest this week God never tied your worth to your work—and He invites you to live like that's true. If you're longing for a way to be present, grounded, and free from the constant pressure to do more, this conversation is for you.

Speed has become a virtue in our culture. We've bought into a lie that bigger is better and faster is better, but the results say otherwise. We may not be burned out, but we're worn out and we're racing through life and sleeping through experiences that really matter. Slowing down and smelling the roses is a must, and in this sermon we will learn how to do that from someone who didn't.

They also get into announcements from big CPG corporations like Kraft Heinz and General Mills about eliminating artificial dyes in U.S. products amid the "Make America Healthy Again" movement.During the featured segment, they're joined by reporter Julia Waldow for a deep dive segment on the rise of private labels. These days, store brands are not just cheaper alternatives to name brands but trendy and even viral products in their own right. About 40% of shoppers say they buy private labels to save money, and 60% say it's because it's a better value, per a Numerator survey.

In this episode, Matt Wolf, Valuation Leader and Healthcare Senior Analyst at Elliott Davis, discusses the growing impact of uncertainty on business investment.

In this episode of 'The Friday Habit,' Mark Labriola and Benjamin Manley are joined by Kayvon Kian, an entrepreneur, teacher, and senior advisor at McKinsey & Company, to discuss his latest book, 'What Is Wisdom?' The conversation covers various philosophical approaches from ancient thinkers such as Socrates, Nietzsche, and Hippocrates, and how their wisdom can guide business decisions. Kayvon shares personal anecdotes, discusses the importance of skeptic capital, and emphasizes strategies for dealing with uncertainty, making better decisions, and focusing on values. The episode concludes with practical advice on preparing for 2022, highlighting the significance of controlled thinking, surrounding oneself with diverse perspectives, and making intentional decisions. Key Takeaways:Skeptic Capital Matters: Kayvan encourages building “skeptic capital”—surrounding yourself with people who challenge your assumptions and help prevent costly mistakes.Ask the Wisdom Question: When facing tough decisions, ask: “What would a wise person do in this situation?” This reframes the decision-making process through timeless values.Use Philosophers as a Thought Board: Kayvan introduces the concept of using historical thinkers (like Socrates, Nietzsche, and Hippocrates) as an advisory board to gain diverse perspectives on modern challenges.Socrates – Embrace Healthy Skepticism: Question your assumptions. Ask “Is that really so?” before jumping into new opportunities or narratives.Nietzsche – Eternal Recurrence: Act as if your decisions will recur infinitely. Would you still choose this path if you had to live it over and over again?Hippocrates – First, Do No Harm: Even with good intentions, interventions can worsen a situation. Sometimes, restraint is the wisest choice.Watch for Patterns (Taoist Influence): Recognize patterns in personal and business life. Understanding recurring cycles can help you predict outcomes and avoid mistakes.Be Present, Not Just Reactive: Don't live on autopilot. Be mindful of how your words, actions, and energy affect others and yourself—especially in moments of stress.Intentional Decision-Making: Big decisions should be values-driven, not reactive. Slowing down and switching between philosophical frameworks leads to wiser outcomes.Plan for Uncertainty: 2022 (and any year) will bring challenges. Focus on what you can control, invite diverse perspectives, and be open to shifting your mental models.Connect with Kayvan: kayvankian.comhttps://linkedin.com/in/kayvanLearn More: Visit TheFridayHabit.com for show notes, resources, and to download the guide on working on your business rather than in it. Stay Connected: Subscribe to The Friday Habit for more real-life business lessons, candid conversations, and actionable strategies to elevate your entrepreneurial journey.

This episode of High Performance Health is a powerful reminder that the true path to longevity isn’t found in chasing supplement stacks or living to 160—it’s about becoming immune to aging by mastering the fundamentals. Angela sits down with Dr Jenna Macciochi, immunologist, author, and high-performance breathwork coach, to explore how chronic inflammation, lifestyle, mindset, and motherhood all shape our biological age far more than we realize. Dr Jenna's new book Immune to Age presents a revolutionary framework: understanding the immune system as a dynamic force through the seasons of life—from birth to old age. In this heartfelt, science-rich conversation, Jenna and Angela dive into everything from burnout and HRV to intuition, parenting, alcohol, and the myth of the perfect biohacking protocol. This is the longevity conversation every woman needs to hear. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Chronic Inflammation: The Silent Driver of Aging : The immune system's slow burn of inflammation is the root cause behind most chronic diseases and early aging. The Parenting Connection: Children phase-lock to their mother’s HRV—your emotional regulation teaches them how to regulate themselves. Burnout & Intuition: Ignoring your intuition and pushing through stress leads to burnout. Slowing down and listening is the real path to resilience. Longevity Isn’t Just About Data: Healthspan matters more than lifespan. Fancy tests are fun, but it’s the basics—food, movement, sleep, breath—that move the needle. Alcohol, Sleep & Energy: Giving up alcohol even temporarily can have a massive ripple effect on mood, energy, and parenting. Immune System Through the Life Course: From womb to old age, your immune system evolves—and it’s never too early or too late to care for it. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:00 – Introduction 3:49 – Why healthspan matters more than lifespan 8:34 – Advice for working women juggling everything 12:15 – How meditation rewires stress and physiology 16:42 – Garbage time, HRV, and parenting insights 22:23 – Female intuition, hormones & relationships 29:10 – Jenna’s daily health and movement routine 34:28 – Alcohol and the “tiny experiment” approach 41:52 – Jenna’s new book: Immune to Age 49:37 – Cancer, inflammation & microbiome connection 59:24 – How to filter conflicting wellness advice 1:00:16 – Tests that matter (and those that don’t) VALUABLE RESOURCES Get a free snapshot of your health and personalised report at www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com 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: LVLUP HEALTH: Slow aging, repair gut health boost collagen and recovery and more with LVLUP Health’s amazing products.

Ben Ayers reacts to the May PPI coming in cooler than expected, arguing that the huge run in imports in 1Q before tariffs were in place is about to run out. However, companies seem to be bearing the brunt of tariff costs, so he thinks that we could see a smaller bump in prices this summer than otherwise. Higher prices will slow growth, and uncertainty about prices is also hampering growth, Ben says, but doesn't expect the U.S. to hit recession.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

When's the last time you touched grass… before your phone? No really. Imagine waking up, resisting the urge to scroll, walking outside barefoot, and just… grounding. That's what today's episode is all about — unplugging from the madness and plugging into what's real. And man, this convo hit different.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sat down with Ryan Levesque, a 7-time Inc. 5000 CEO, 2-time #1 National Bestselling Author, and legit one of the smartest (and realest) entrepreneurs I know. He's the guy behind the wildly successful Ask Method — but lately, he's been asking deeper questions.Like…What if success isn't just scaling tech, but scaling truth?What if the best things in life can't be optimized or outsourced?What if real wealth is measured in moments, not metrics?Ryan's on a mission to live a radically real life. He left the digital rat race for a self-sustaining lifestyle — think chickens, crops, faith, and family. And in this convo, we explore his framework called “The Return to Real” — a philosophy (and lifestyle) that'll get you rethinking your entire hustle.We jammed on everything from purpose-driven business to farming wisdom to why technology is no longer a moat. Spoiler alert: In a world where anyone can clone your product, the unscalable stuff is your secret weapon. Love. Integrity. Presence. A handwritten note. A meaningful convo. A hug from your little one. THAT'S the new currency.Here are a few gems from this episode you won't wanna miss:Ryan's daily practice to instantly ground your energy and clear your mind — no apps requiredWhy the real flex in business is doing things that don't scale (and why your competition won't do it)The communication skill that'll set you apart in a noisy, AI-run worldHow to recalibrate when you feel out of sync — personally or professionallyWhy following your heart isn't fluffy — it's your most strategic moveThis convo is raw, soulful, and super practical. It's not about quitting business and buying a farm (unless that's your vibe) — it's about remembering who you are underneath the noise. Slowing down enough to ask better questions. And choosing depth over distraction, every dang time.So if you're craving more meaning, more alignment, and a business that feels good to run, hit play on this one.

The Spiritual Meaning of the Summer Solstice

In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, Erica Ballard—a spiritual teacher, mindfulness facilitator, and former public health expert—unpacks the complex, emotional journey of trusting your intuition even when it feels completely irrational. From being fired on maternity leave to breaking away from an identity built on achievement, Erica shares what it really takes to shift from logic to soul. We dive into the moments when intuition whispers, why high achievers struggle with surrender, and how slowing down can actually open doors to deeper self-awareness and joy. About the Guest:Erica Ballard is a former public health professional turned intuitive mentor. Holding a master's from Tufts University School of Medicine and certifications in Reiki, NLP, and health coaching, Erica helps high-achieving women reconnect with their inner guidance. Featured in Forbes and Women's Health, her work centers around realignment, spiritual awareness, and living from truth—not titles. Key Takeaways: Intuition isn't a spiritual cliché; it often starts with small nudges and preference-based decisions. High achievers resist intuition due to fear and identity attachment. Slowing down is crucial—it's an act of subtracting what no longer serves you. Following your intuition can unravel old patterns and open up unimaginable joy and truth. Real transformation begins when you sit with fear rather than avoid it.

Do you feel you have to push yourself every day just to stay on top of your work? Well, this week I'm looking at why this happens and what you can do to prevent it.    You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The 2025 Summer Sale  Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Time Sector System 5th Year Anniversary The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script | 372 Hello, and welcome to episode 372 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. If you have ever watched a Formula 1 race, it can be easy to believe that from the moment the lights go out and the race starts, the cars go flat out until the end of the race.  Ah, as if it were that simple.  The truth is if a team tried to do this, they would be guaranteed to lose the race.  Even though a race may only last ninety minutes, during the race the teams will need to conserve their tyres and fuel. Going flat out to the finish would degrade the tyres too quickly, which would mean they lose essential grip in the corners, and running out of fuel would be game over for a team.  You are like that Formula 1 car. When you start your day you have a limited amount of energy and your ability to focus needs to be managed through the day.  It's not physical energy. Your body has a way to utilise your fat reserves to help keep you out of danger when necessary, physically. It's your mental energy. That is limited. And it's a lack of mental energy that results in you making mistakes, procrastinating and being unable to make a decision about what to work on next.  It your mental energy that requires careful management each day. Getting home exhausted each day won't do very much for your relationships. You won't be in the mood to do very much, and having a conversation with your partner or kids won't be a top priority.  Yet, your family may have been waiting for you to get home to talk with you, play and just have some quality time.  The good news is it doesn't have to be that way. There are things you can do to preserve your mental energies so you arrive home feeling relaxed, fulfilled and ready to engage with your family.  However, before we get to how to do that, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Matt. Matt asks, Hi Carl, do you have any ideas on how to stop feeling constantly tired and using the weekends just to recover before doing it all again on a Monday?  Hi Matt, thank you for your question.  If you are constantly feeling tired, my first advise would be to go see your doctor. A constant feeling of fatigue or tiredness could have an underlying reason and it's better to get that checked out first.  If, your doctor reports there are no underlying illnesses, then it's time to look at your lifestyle.  As I wrote in Your Time, Your Way, there are three areas you need to keep in balance. These are the foundations of any productive life.  They are: Sleep, movement and diet.  Are you getting enough sleep for you? We are all different when it comes to the amount of sleep we require. Some of you may work well on six hours, while others may require eight or nine hours sleep.  If you want to operate at your best each day, finding out how much sleep you need would be a first step.  For years I thought I only needed six hours of sleep. Yet when I did the test that Matthew Walker, the sleep doctor, suggested, I discovered I actually needed seven hours twenty minutes.  What is that test? I hear you ask. What you do is sleep with no alarm for seven days and calculate how much sleep you slept each night. Then you add the total number of hours you slept and divide that number by seven.  That will give you roughly the number of hours of sleep you need.  I did this experiment while I was on holiday—when I didn't have to wake up at any particular time. That way I had no anxiety about not waking up on time.  Now I make sure I get seven hours at a minimum. Movement does not mean you have to go to the gym or out running. If you look back to a time when fewer people were overweight, the 1950s for instance, there were very few gyms—and the gyms then were centred on specialised bodybuilding or competitive sports people.  You didn't see people jogging round parks either.  Instead, people moved more. They walked, took the stairs, manually cleaned their houses and were more active in general.  The statistics are shocking. In the 1950s, around 10% of the adult US population were classified as being overweight. That number was 6% in the UK.  In 2020, those numbers had increased to over 40% in the US and 38% in the UK.  While I know convenience is wonderful, it's also destroying our health. Humans were designed to move. We are not designed to spend as much as fifteen hours a day sitting down.  Your brain needs movement. This is why often you will find you come up with solutions to difficult problems when walking down a street or exercising.  Movement does so much more for you. It gives your brain a chance to reset, relax and more importantly these days, gets your eyes off the screen.  And then there is diet.  I am sure you re familiar with how you feel after a lunch high in carbohydrates. You feel drowsy, sluggish and sleepy. It even has a name; the afternoon slump.  If your diet is a mess—full of highly processed foods, sugars and carbohydrates, you are going to struggle to focus. You'll always be feeling tired, sluggish and exhausted.  Switching your diet to a healthier one, will do wonders for your overall productivity and mental energies.  So, get those three basic fundamentals of a productive day sorted first and you will see a significant improvement in your productivity and focus.  Next, though, is how we apply ourselves each day. In other words, how we manage our workloads.  Constantly switching your attention between designing a presentation or trying to figure out how to ask Chat GPT the right prompts so it gives you the answers you are looking for while a the same time responding to Slack or Teams messages will leave you completely wiped out in no time at all.  Your brain was not designed to be switching contexts in that way all day. It's called cognitive overload and while, perhaps, in the moment you don't recognise it, what you are doing is rapidly depleting your brain's capacity to make decisions, and remain focused on the job at hand.  It's the most inefficient way to go about your work.  The danger is it becomes addictive. I've seen in recent years this called “dopamine addiction”. This is where you have become addicted to the drama of urgent deadlines, the sound of another notification and constant buzz of distractions from breaking news and short videos with flashing lights and rapid changes in context.  It destroys your focus, mental energy and leaves you feeling worn out and exhausted at the end of the day.  To improve your focus and better manage your mental energies, look for ways to group similar work together.  For example, if you find that you focus better in a morning, try to avoid having meetings at that time. Instead, perhaps start your day with a two hour session of work on a particularly difficult project or task. One that requires a fair bit of creativity or skill.  Then give yourself thirty minutes or an hour before you attempt to do another mentally challenging task.  I've found that when I suggest to clients that they use these gaps between periods of deeper focused work to get up move around and use their phones to reply to messages using the dictation feature, or return phones calls, they get an instant boost in their energy levels.  If you think about it physiologically, you've gone from hardly moving at all—sitting down and focusing on something—to getting up and moving and suddenly your blood is surging again, in a positive way.  More importantly, you're not context switching in a mentally depleting way.  A quick tip I can share with you here is to keep the first thirty minutes of your work day free. Use that time to get a heads up on your day. Clear your email inbox, have a chat with your colleagues or hold a quick team meeting to discuss the objectives for the day.  What this does is prevents that sense of FOMO (the fear of missing out). It settles your mind, gets you focused on your objectives and gives you time to deal with any unknown emergencies before you settle down to doing some difficult work.  I', currently reading a book called “In Search of C. The Biography of Mansfield Cumming”. Mansfield Cumming was the founder of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6. The British version of the CIA. The service was founded in 1909—five years before the start of the First World War. The majority of the UK's workforce at that time were employed either in factories or in service.  In service meant people who worked for the aristocratic landed gentry in their large mansions and palaces.  Very few people worked in offices.  Those that did, didn't work a nine till five job. It was far more flexible than that. Often the day was spent travelling between meetings. And given that most transport at that time was horse and cart, you can imagine how slow that was.  Then there was large liquid lunches, often taking up to three hours.  It was in the evenings that any work managed to get done. Mansfield Cumming, for example, would spend most of his evenings replying to letters and reading documents.  One time, when Cumming was ill and bed ridden, his superiors send over a typist so he could stay on top of his correspondence.  120 years ago, people recognised the dangers of letting correspondence get out of control on the efficiency of getting work done.  And don't be fooled into thinking things were very different then. Not only did they get an equivalent number of letters as we do emails, they also got telegrams—the equivalent of Slack or Teams messages today.  It might not have been digital, but the volume was very similar.  Today, we allow ourselves to neglect staying on top of our correspondence and admin. When we do that it creates a low level of anxiety draining our energies. The fear of not knowing what is waiting for us. And the fear that we might be missing something important.  To avoid this, find some time each day to dedicate specifically to dealing with your messages. Try to do this as late in the day as you can. This avoids you getting trapped in email ping pong. That's were when you reply you give the receiver time to reply to you the same day. That just doubles up the time you need to spend dealing with your messages.  Slowing down your response times, gives you space to get back to doing the work you have identified as being important.  So there you go, Matt. If you want to have the energy to do a days work and have enough left in the evening to spend doing the things you want to do, then first make sure you are taking care of the basics, tough sleep, movement and a healthy diet.  Then avoid getting trapped by context switching. Protect time on your calendar for doing specific types of work that is similar in nature, and allow sufficient flexibility between these sessions for moving and dealing with the inevitable message load.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening.  Oh and one more thing. Yesterday, saw the launch of my summer sale.

   All these agencies, departments and courts trying to slow or even stop the President of the United States from doing his job just doesn't feel very American to me.  Yes, it's a matter or historical fact that never in our history has any Commander in Chief been subjected to this kind of onslaught and it's tiring and old.  It's also not working.  So, what's the point?    Celebs take over KC for Big Slick weekend as the Royals host the first place Tigers.... this should be fun.    KU hoops has an incredible new lead assistant coach and a freshman Bill Self calls the best freshman he's ever had.  www.dannyclinkscale.com is here to discuss that, the stadium issues and his personal journey this summer 10 years after being cancer free.   It's a conversation you'll feel great about.  

True integration of personal development requires rewiring your nervous system, not just changing your thoughts and beliefs. We explore how childhood experiences and ancestral trauma create programmed responses that keep you stuck in old patterns despite your best intentions.• The subconscious mind and nervous system operate on the same panel but aren't identical• Our nervous system still operates on primitive survival protocols designed for physical threats • Traumatic experiences become programmed responses that trigger when similar situations arise• Integration happens in three key phases: awareness, challenge/contraction, and recalibration• Slowing down and breathing deeply helps regulate your nervous system during triggering moments• People-pleasing behaviors often stem from nervous system programming around safety• Repetition and consistency are crucial for creating new neural pathways• Your healing creates ripple effects that impact both ancestral trauma and future generations• Integration is a lifestyle, not a one-time eventJoin us for DG Mindfest 2025 in Miami on September 20th.

Are you training nearly every day—strength, cardio, HIIT—and still not seeing the results you want? In this episode of Beast Over Burden, strength coaches Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson tackle a common question: Are you progressing, or just working hard? They break down the sneaky signs of overtraining, the truth about cardio intensity, and how recovery—not more effort—is often the bottleneck to strength, muscle, and long-term health.

I'm incredibly excited to introduce the first guest of our newly rebranded Nourished CEO Podcast, my friend and powerhouse entrepreneur, Kelly Ruta. This episode is a raw, honest, and inspiring look at what happens when life and health force even the most driven business owners to hit pause. Kelly shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with long Covid, navigating relentless health challenges, and ultimately making the brave decision to take a sabbatical from her business—a decision she describes as both “kicking and screaming” and profoundly necessary. We unpack the internal struggle between ambition and wellbeing, how to set radical boundaries, and why “slowing down is not giving up.” Whether you've ever wondered "how do I step back without losing everything?" or you're seeking a grounded conversation about redefining success as a female CEO, this is a must-listen.
