 Mary O'Grady analyzes Argentine President Javier Milei's significant election loss in Buenos Aires, attributed to a corruption scandal involving his sister and the slowing economy. His brash style, while initially appealing and celebrated internationally, now alienates potential congressional allies and conservative voters. O'Grady suggests this approach is ill-suited for governing, hindering his economic reforms, as he struggles with high inflation and cuts to public subsidies, impacting public perceptio 1921 BUENOS AIRES

Is there such a thing as coincidence? Recently I read an essay by Henrik Karllson, in his Substack page Escaping Flatland, titled “Almost Anything You Give Sustained Attention to Will Begin To Loop on Itself and Bloom”, and I was especially struck by his comment that "Art is guided meditation". This was, to me, a new way of thinking about paying attention and slowing down, of being in the moment. It rang true. This coincided with working on this episode, and listening to Andrew Duhon's song “Slow Down”, which features the lyrics “We've got to slow down/ All we'll ever have it right here right now/ Right here right now/ I think we need to slow down/ Our eyes on the horizon line/ All these years/ It's the things we keep our eyes on/ Seem to be the things that disappear when we get there”. Coincidence? I say that has to be a long shot. Slowing down can be helpful in a lot of situations, creative endeavors especially. Do you ever find yourself in a spot where you wish you could simply jump to the finish line, like in a project, or even with cooking dinner? I feel that way a lot when starting work on the scripts for Southern Songs and Stories episodes. The blank page is always the hardest part — just those first paragraphs can take up the better part of a day sometimes. You have heard the phrase “like pulling teeth”, I bet. The creative process can feel that way, at times: a painful slog, with no guarantees of any gain, that makes you question why you put yourself through it. Slowing down is key to making something worthwhile, whether that brings material gain or simply self satisfaction with a job well done. With patience, with letting things come to you, with sitting still and actively listening for the muse, good things can happen. There is no way to reap the rewards without paying the cost, and part of the bargain is giving something of yourself, something that might be as hard as pulling teeth. I hope you can slow down with us, and enjoy this episode on Andrew Duhon. Here, he expounds on his music and his band, while he also touches on religion, politics, and a lot more, including the hardest song that he has ever written, why he does not have a place to call home in New Orleans currently, and his own eye-catching chapeau, a vintage baseball cap that says “Cuban Boatlift 1980”. All that and more, including more of Andrew's music, especially from his recent appearance at The Albino Skunk Music Festival in Greer, SC, awaits you in this episode.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Katharina Huang—a former machine learning data scientist who left behind the corporate grind to create a slower, happier, and more intentional life. Katharina shares her journey of navigating burnout, caring for her family after her father's stroke, and ultimately reinventing herself as an indie author and puzzle-book creator. Together, they unpack what it means to pivot with purpose, the challenges of third-culture identity, and why joy, play, and presence are more important than the pursuit of endless success. This is a powerful conversation for anyone questioning the cost of hustle culture and searching for ways to reclaim autonomy, creativity, and well-being. About the Guest   Katharina Huang is the creator of Vegout Voyage, an adventure puzzle book series that blends travel, creativity, and play. Born in Germany, raised between the U.S. and Taiwan, and with research experience in Uganda and Tibet in exile, her multicultural background deeply informs her storytelling. After over a decade in tech, Katharina transitioned into authorship and entrepreneurship, championing mental health for third-culture kids and those navigating burnout. Learn more: vegoutvoyage.com Key Takeaways   Burnout can be a turning point, not the end of the story—Katharina rebuilt her life after leaving tech. Her father's stroke became a wake-up call about the fragility of waiting for “someday” to enjoy life. Success on paper doesn't always mean well-being; redefining success means prioritizing quality of life. Third-culture kids often carry silent struggles, but those experiences can also fuel empathy and creativity. Building a “lifestyle business” allows for autonomy, balance, and alignment between work and personal values. Humor and perspective—even in setbacks like Amazon blocking her Kindle version—help her keep moving forward. Slowing down is not giving up; it's a choice to live more fully and intentionally.   Connect with Katharina   Website: vegoutvoyage.com Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Charles Schwab's Cooper Howard says Friday's nonfarm payrolls report confirms a lot of speculation surrounding a slower labor market. He adds that June's report being revised down only adds to the weakness narrative. Cooper expects the FOMC to cut 25bps on interest rates in September but says he'll be "surprised" to see 50bps based on where inflation currently stands. However, he makes the case for more cuts before the end of the year.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The S&P 500 added 0.8% to a new peak while the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.9% on Thursday. US futures edged higher in early Asian trading ahead of Friday's August jobs report. The Nikkei 225 index rose by more than 1% after President Donald Trump signed an executive order implementing his trade agreement with Japan. We get the latest from Balazs Penz, Bloomberg News Desk Editor in Hong Kong. He speaks with Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Paul Allen on The Asia Trade.The policy-sensitive US two-year yield fell three basis points to the lowest in around a year Thursday. Money markets almost fully priced in a Fed reduction this month and see at least two by year-end. The action reflected the latest readings on hiring and unemployment claims before Friday's jobs data, which is expected to extend the weakest stretch of US job growth since the pandemic. Slowing demand, rising costs and President Donald Trump's unpredictable trade policies have cooled hiring, adding pressure on the Fed to shore up the labor market.

Does slowing down feel impossible when your calendar is overflowing with school drop-offs, sports practices, work deadlines, and family commitments? You're not alone. For many working Christian moms, the beginning of the school year brings a new level of chaos — and slowing down feels like the last thing you can afford to do. But here's the truth: slowing down isn't about doing less or dropping the ball. It's about learning to walk in God's rhythm instead of the world's hustle. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're unpacking the biblical principle that makes slowing down not only possible but practical — even in the busiest seasons of motherhood. You'll hear: The common lie moms believe about slowing down and what Scripture really says. Why God's pace is different from the world's hustle — and how His presence brings true rest. 2 simple, practical ways to start slowing down in the middle of carpools, practices, and school-year chaos. Slowing down doesn't mean falling behind — it means showing up with more peace, presence, and strength because you're walking in step with Jesus. ✨ Free Resources for You: Want more encouragement and practical tools? Join our community of moms inside the Faith Led Working Moms Facebook group where you'll find free resources, biblical encouragement, and support from other Christian moms walking this same journey.

We just spent a wonderful five days in Flagstaff, Arizona, and things were beautiful, including the weather. I was so excited to escape the Florida heat, pack up the van, and take the dogs out on some beautiful hikes. But the second we rolled in, the altitude made itself known. I was winded just walking to the trailhead, and the dogs looked at me like, what's your problem, mom? Even the bag of chips I brought along puffed up like it was ready to pop, which cracked me up because it felt like the universe was saying, “yep, everything's under pressure up here.” Instead of charging ahead like I planned, I had to back off. We took shorter hikes, stopped more often, and drank water like it was our full-time job. I had this vision of big adventure days, but once I stopped fighting it, I noticed the little things. One pup, Trooper, bounding over rocks like a champ, the other, Cali, carefully navigating her way around them, and me realizing maybe I don't always have to be in go-mode to enjoy myself. Slowing down wasn't what I pictured, but it actually made the trip better. That's what today's Wise Walk is about. It's those times when life forces you to downshift, and how the pause can end up being exactly what you needed all along. Where in your life are you experiencing high intensity times? Are you juggling so much that you're just trying not to drop anything? When you're in go-mode, are you remembering to retreat and rest? Are you giving your body time to adjust instead of pushing through? Where are you pushing yourself harder than feels sustainable? What does it look like for you to take a reprieve from demands? How can you create moments of stillness to check in with yourself? Are you nurturing your heart, mind, body, and spirit with what they need? Are you remembering that high intensity modes are temporary? Where can you build in time to rest and restore before the next push? Are you aware when you've slipped into high intensity mode? Can you pause long enough to say, “this is not sustainable”? What helps you balance intensity with stillness? How do you allow yourself to recharge after a big effort? What practices help you feel grounded in the middle of chaos? Where in your life can you retreat or slow down right now? What shifts when you notice your surroundings with fresh eyes? How can you meander without purpose and still find perspective? Where have you gained clarity by stepping back? How can you apply that clarity the next time intensity rises? As always, I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode, so please feel free to reach out, and then I look forward to next Thursday's Wise Walk, so be sure to tune in, share this episode if it resonates with you, and until then, please be sure to prioritize fun as you read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride On. In this episode: [03:27] Previously I talked about flying into Reno to visit some friends in Tahoe, California, and I forgot about the elevation differences, and I did get altitude sickness on that trip. [04:10] Our bodies have to adjust. Everything has to adjust from the dogs to my bag of potato chips. [05:18] We allowed time to hydrate and let our bodies adjust. We didn't push ourselves to a point of exertion that would make us sick. [06:11] In those high intensity moments, it's hard to know the internal needs of our own bodies, minds, and hearts. [07:34] The dogs and I had a magical time in Flagstaff, Arizona. We did some intense hiking and then slept hard. [08:49] Periods of exertion are healthy. [11:12] I also saw this idea come to life driving from Flagstaff, Arizona to Sedona, Arizona. There were swerving roads and hills and driving was a high intensity moment. [13:50] Life is like that when you have those high intensity moments. I was gripping the wheel and then when I got to the other side I could just breathe. [14:39] High intensity moments are just life, and I need to balance them out with time to decompress. [15:58] This awareness has reminded me that I need to create space to get out of my own environment. [17:11] On my trip to Ireland, I was able to get out of my environment, and it's the same for this trip. [19:39] The other big gift this trip has given me is perspective from seeing the contrast in my life from intense to recovery.

It means you're preparing for the next climb.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

Wall Street is holding steady ahead of Friday's U.S. job market that could mean cuts to interest rates.

Today we're diving into a topic that a lot of people struggle with quietly but don't always feel comfortable talking about: food anxiety. And if you want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page. You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  Maybe you've felt nervous about going to a party because you weren't sure what kind of food would be there. Or maybe you've found yourself planning your entire day around what you'll eat and how to control it. Perhaps you've even finished a meal only to have guilt set in right away. That's what food anxiety looks like—and you are definitely not alone. Today we're going to talk about what food anxiety actually is, why it shows up, what you can do to calm it, and even how some of the newest medications—things like GLP-1s and dual GIP/GLP-1s—may actually help by quieting some of the mental “food noise.” What is food anxiety? At its core, food anxiety is stress or fear around eating. And the thing is, it doesn't look the same for everyone. For one person, it might show up as constantly worrying they'll overeat. For another, it's that lingering guilt after eating something they feel they “shouldn't have.” And sometimes it's more subtle than that—like a constant hum in the background of your mind where you're thinking about food all day, even when you're not hungry. I often describe it like having a radio station in your brain that's tuned into “food talk.” Sometimes it's background noise, sometimes it's blaring, but either way, it's draining. And over time, that stress around eating chips away at both your mental and physical health. Why does food anxiety happen? So why does this happen in the first place? A big part of it is the culture we live in. For decades, we've been bombarded with messages that carbs are bad, fat is bad, sugar is the enemy—and the list keeps changing. That constant labeling of food as “good” or “bad” teaches us to feel guilty when we eat the so-called wrong thing. For others, food anxiety starts when they get a medical diagnosis. If you've been told you have diabetes, heart disease, or that you need to lose weight for health reasons, suddenly every single bite can feel like a math problem. You're not just eating—you're calculating, you're worrying, you're second-guessing. And then there's the way dieting itself messes with our natural signals. When we spend years restricting, counting, and controlling, we often lose touch with our body's hunger and fullness cues. Instead of trusting how we feel, we rely on rigid rules. And when those rules get broken, the anxiety hits hard. And finally, we can't ignore biology. Food, especially highly processed food, lights up reward pathways in the brain. For some people, those signals are incredibly strong—stronger than for others. That means more cravings, more urges, and unfortunately, more guilt when they give in. What can you do about food anxiety behaviorally? Now, here's the good news. There are things you can do to reduce food anxiety, and you don't need to overhaul your entire life to start seeing changes. One of the simplest but most powerful tools is mindful eating. And I know that phrase gets thrown around a lot. But at its heart, mindful eating just means slowing down.  It means actually tasting your food, noticing the textures, and checking in with how your body feels. When you slow down enough to notice satisfaction, you're much more likely to stop eating when you're comfortable instead of stuffed—and that takes a lot of the stress out of the meal. Another shift that helps tremendously is dropping the “good” and “bad” food labels. Health isn't decided by one cookie, just like it isn't guaranteed by one salad. What matters is your overall pattern, week by week, month by month. When you start to see food as neutral—as fuel, as enjoyment, as part of life—it loosens the grip of guilt and allows you to be more flexible. And speaking of flexibility, having a loose structure around meals can be calming. Instead of rigid dieting rules, like “I can never eat after 7 p.m.,” focus on balance. A meal that has some protein, some fiber, and a little healthy fat is naturally stabilizing. It helps keep blood sugar steady, which means fewer spikes and fewer crashes. And when your body feels stable, your brain feels calmer, too. It's also worth paying attention to your personal triggers. For some people, weekly weigh-ins, keeping a food log, or using a nutrition app can be helpful. But for others, they actually fuel the anxiety. If you notice those things making you more stressed rather than less, it's okay to step away from them. You can still eat intentionally without logging every single bite. And while we are on the subject of personal triggers like daily or weekly weigh-ins, I want to talk about this a bit more. It's really important to remember, your body weight naturally fluctuates from day to day. Daily weight changes are completely normal and can happen for a bunch of reasons.  Your body might hold onto water from salty foods, hormones, or just changes in hydration. What you've eaten recently can also temporarily add weight, and when you eat carbohydrates, your muscles store them along with water, which can make the scale go up a bit. For women, hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle can cause water retention that shows on the scale as well. On top of all that, if you've been exercising more, you might be building muscle even while losing fat. Because muscle is denser than fat, the scale might not move—or could even go up slightly—while your body is actually getting leaner and stronger. Because of these normal variations, seeing a slightly higher number on the scale one day can feel discouraging—even if you're making great progress. Instead of focusing on daily fluctuations, a better approach is to look at your net overall trend over a month. Tracking the weekly or monthly average gives you a more accurate picture of real progress and helps reduce stress or obsession with the number on the scale And lastly, support makes a big difference. Whether that's working with a dietitian, talking with a therapist, or joining a group, sometimes having someone else in your corner makes it easier to change both your habits and the way you think about food. Where medications may help: GLP-1s and dual GIP/GLP-1s Now let's shift gears for a moment, because in the past few years, there's been an exciting development in how we treat weight and appetite. Medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists—semaglutide is one example—and the newer dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists, like tirzepatide, have been game changers. So what do they actually do? GLP-1s mimic a natural hormone your gut makes after you eat. That hormone tells your brain, “Hey, you're full.” It also slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach and helps keep you fuller, longer. They also cause your pancreas to release insulin when there's too much sugar from food in your bloodstream. This lowers your blood sugar and helps your cells use glucose (sugar from the food you've eaten). This is helpful because extra sugar your cells don't use for energy is stored as fat, which is why high blood sugar can cause weight gain.  The dual GIP/GLP-1s do all of that, plus they act on another hormone called GIP, GIP improves how your body uses sugar AND fat (storing less of both by breaking them down to use for energy). Now, here's where it gets fascinating for food anxiety. People who take these medications often report that the “food noise” in their head finally quiets down. Instead of thinking about food all day, the volume on that radio station turns way down. Meals feel more manageable. A normal portion actually feels satisfying. And for many, that overwhelming urge to snack or binge just isn't there anymore. When your hunger cues are more predictable and less intense, you don't feel like you're constantly fighting your own body. That alone can dramatically reduce the anxiety around eating. And by calming the physical side—the cravings, the urges—it gives you more space to work on the mental and emotional side of eating without feeling like you're swimming upstream. Of course, these medications aren't a magic fix. They don't erase years of learned guilt or change the culture we live in. But they can be powerful tools, especially when paired with mindful eating practices and professional support. My Final Thoughts If you take one thing away from this episode, let it be this: food anxiety is real. It's not about weakness or lack of willpower. It's shaped by culture, by biology, by personal history—and it can be incredibly challenging. But there are ways to reduce it. Slowing down and being more mindful at meals, letting go of the “good food versus bad food” mindset, building flexible eating habits, and getting support are all steps in the right direction. And for some, medications like GLP-1s or dual GIP/GLP-1s can make the process easier by quieting the biological noise that drives anxiety in the first place. Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast. If today's episode resonated, share it with a friend and please remember you're not alone. Many people struggle with food anxiety, and there is nothing wrong with reaching out for help—whether that's behavioral support, medical treatment, or both. Until next time, be well, and as always, have a happy, healthy week.  

In this raw and insightful conversation, relationship therapist and retreat facilitator Nicola Beer shares her powerful journey from trauma and addiction to deep healing and emotional freedom.Nicola opens up about her own struggles with childhood trauma, workaholism, alcohol, and the pressures of masking ADHD. She explains how these patterns often mirror the lives of the high-achieving men she now supports, many of whom feel emotionally disconnected, burned out, and trapped by the very success they've worked so hard for.We unpack common midlife issues like porn use, infidelity, dopamine addiction, and the emotional weight of "holding it all together." Nicola also dives into the healing potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy and how men can start to reconnect with their emotions, values, and relationships.This episode is for any man who's ready to stop numbing and start feeling, who wants more than just survival, and is open to real transformation..Key TakeawaysTrauma doesn't always look like trauma. Nicola's childhood left her wired to seek safety through overwork and emotional disconnection, a pattern many men unconsciously live in.Success doesn't equal fulfilment. Many high-achieving men feel empty or trapped despite “having it all.”Why men cheat (even if they don't want to): Often driven by dopamine addiction, unprocessed pain, or emotional starvation.The silent trap of being ‘the provider': Many men feel like ATMs in their homes, resentful, unseen, and emotionally burned out.Dopamine overload is killing our joy. Resetting with a 30-day break from artificial spikes (porn, screens, etc.) is a powerful first step.Psychedelics aren't a magic fix, but they can unlock deep healing when paired with proper intention, integration, and support.Relationships need goals too. Connection doesn't happen by accident, it takes intentional time, presence, and effort.Most conflicts aren't about the present. 80–90% of relationship struggles stem from unresolved wounds in the past.Slowing down isn't weakness, it's wisdom. You can't hear your inner voice when you're constantly doing.

Vice President JD Vance promoted President Donald Trump's tax cuts during a visit to La Crosse. Then, a new report suggests the state's economy may be slowing in 2025. And, the answer to a listener's WHYsconsin question about a particular type of toilet.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about the power of stopping before you start - especially when it comes to how we communicate with others. I share a little story about catching myself as I was about to fire off a sarcastic response (classic Masshole move!) and realizing that just because something comes easy or is a habit, doesn't mean it's always the best way to show up.Sometimes, it's worth pausing and asking ourselves, “Is this really how I want to respond?” I dive into how our brains get wired over time for certain automatic reactions, like sarcasm or quick replies, and how the speed of today's world makes it even harder to slow down. We're all so used to “instant” responses and moving at the pace of technology, but that doesn't always serve us - or the people we're talking to. I talk about checking in with yourself before you hit send -or- how I like to pause before I open my big fat mouth!

Several factors are behind a flat-lining in investment from China. New research by the New Zealand China Council and NZIER has found Chinese investment grew steadily between 2014 and 2019, but has stalled since then. China now ranks as our 12th largest source of foreign investment. Council Chair John McKinnon told Mike Hosking there's a number of reasons why the investment has stalled. He says Covid, a slow down in the Chinese economy, and changes to the regulatory environment in both countries have contributed, and it's not worrying.

Using Self-Compassion With The Enneagram (Part 2) Last time, we explored Enneagram types One through Four—seeing how each carries its own beauty, struggle, and path toward compassion. Today, we pick up where we left off. So often, we hear messages about what we should fix or change. But the real invitation of the Enneagram is to see the truth of how we're wired and to treat that truth with kindness. It's not about boxing you in—it's about showing you the patterns you've been living out, and then inviting you back home to your truest self. As Ian Morgan Cron reminds us, “The Enneagram doesn't tell you who you are; it tells you who you think you have to be.” That's the gift—it reveals the mask we've learned to wear, and then it helps us lay it down. In this episode, we're continuing our walk through the remaining Enneagram types, not to critique but to celebrate. To honor. To offer compassion to the parts of ourselves we often overlook. And once again, we're joined by AMG coach and life coach Stephen Nichols, who has guided countless men in this very work.   TYPE 5 – THE INVESTIGATOR Ian Cron describes Fives as the wise men—those who see the world from a thoughtful distance, cutting through noise with insight. You have a brilliant, thoughtful mind that sees what others miss. Your ability to observe, analyze, and understand is a deep well of insight. You're naturally drawn to complex ideas, systems, and inner landscapes most people overlook. Your curiosity runs deep, and your insights are often ahead of their time. You bring calm clarity to chaos, offering wisdom without needing the spotlight.   Though you may prefer solitude, your presence carries quiet weight and depth. Self-compassion reminds you that you don't have to have all the answers to belong—your presence, your wisdom, and your way of seeing the world already matter. Self-compassion for Type 5 sounds like: “My curiosity is a gift. I don't need to know everything to be whole.”  “I offer wisdom, and I also deserve connection.” “It's okay to not have all the answers right now.” “My presence is enough—I don't need to over-prepare.” “Opening up is a strength, not a liability.” You make space for insight and truth. Your presence invites calm and clarity.     TYPE 6 – THE LOYALIST Your loyalty and courage are unmatched—you stand by your people through thick and thin. You think through every angle with care, always scanning for how to keep others safe and supported. Your fierce sense of responsibility drives you to prepare, protect, and prevent harm. You often see potential problems before they happen, and your questions strengthen decisions and relationships. Suzanne Stabile calls Sixes the guardians of community—reliable, grounded, and deeply attuned to group wellbeing. You hold steady when others panic, anchoring people with your presence and conviction. Your love shows up not in loud declarations, but in quiet vigilance and fierce, faithful commitment. When you extend that same loyalty inward, you become a source of wisdom and grounded courage—not just for others, but for yourself. Self-compassion for Type 6 sounds like: “My ability to anticipate is protective, not paranoid.”  “I trust myself to navigate uncertainty.” “Uncertainty is uncomfortable, but I can handle it.” “I trust myself to navigate what comes.” “Courage isn't the absence of fear—it's standing with myself in the fear.” You bring steadiness, humility, and fierce commitment wherever you go.     TYPE 7 – THE ENTHUSIAST You see the possibility in everything and bring life to the spaces you enter. Your joy is contagious, and your energy lights up the room. You're often the one who finds silver linings, who lightens tension with humor, and reminds others to savor life. You have a natural gift for storytelling, optimism, and enthusiasm that draws people in and lifts spirits. Ian Cron reminds us that Sevens teach us not to take life for granted—but to taste, savor, and adventure. Your soul is wired for wonder, and beneath your lightness is a deep, brave heart. When you stay present in discomfort, you show true courage—not escape, but engagement. Self-compassion deepens your spark. You discover that real freedom comes from living fully—joy and sorrow alike. Self-compassion for Type 7 sounds like: “My zest for life is sacred. I can experience joy and still make space for depth.”  “I don't need to escape. This moment is enough.” “I can sit with hard feelings—they won't break me.” “Slowing down helps me find deeper joy.”   You remind others that life is worth living fully, and that pain doesn't cancel out joy—it enriches it.     TYPE 8 – THE CHALLENGER You are bold, strong, and protective—you step in when others shrink back. You fight for what matters and speak truth with intensity and clarity. Your presence commands attention—not for ego, but because people feel your deep commitment to what's right. You instinctively protect the vulnerable and challenge injustice wherever it appears. Suzanne Stabile calls Eights the protectors and justice-bearers—often misunderstood, but driven by love and loyalty. Beneath your strength is a tender heart that longs for honesty, trust, and connection. When you let yourself soften and be known, your power doesn't weaken—it becomes magnetic, trustworthy, and whole. Self-compassion allows your heart to breathe so your strength can serve others without burning you out. Self-compassion for Type 8 sounds like: “My strength includes tenderness.”  “I can lead with power and still stay soft-hearted.” “Letting others in doesn't make me weak.” “Real strength includes openness.” “I can be protective and still allow myself to feel.” You give others courage just by being who you are. You model strength that protects and includes.     TYPE 9 – THE PEACEMAKER You have a calming presence that brings ease and steadiness to those around you. You instinctively see all sides and create harmony in spaces that feel divided. You are a steady presence in a loud, chaotic world—helping others breathe easier just by being near. You create room for others without needing the spotlight, offering quiet empathy and deep listening. Your non-reactivity and gentleness give others permission to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Ian Cron says Nines are the mediators of the soul—deeply attuned to what brings people together. Though you may downplay your impact, your quiet strength and inclusive spirit often hold entire communities together. Self-compassion invites you to include yourself in the peace you offer others. Your voice matters. Your presence is not just peaceful—it's powerful. Self-compassion for Type 9 sounds like: “My presence brings peace, and my voice matters too.”  “I can honor others and still choose myself.” “My voice matters.” “I don't have to disappear to keep the peace.” “Choosing myself isn't selfish—it's necessary.” You teach us how to slow down, to listen, and to find unity in difference.     CLOSING No matter where you land on the Enneagram, you bring something good and true into the world. You don't need to change who you are—you need to honor it. Self-compassion is how you do that. It's not about self-indulgence. It's about self-acceptance. The Enneagram isn't a problem to fix. It's a mirror that shows your natural design—and the gifts you carry. As Stabile reminds us, the goal isn't to be better than your number—it's to be a healthier version of the one you already are. So take this with you: You are already enough. Not someday. Not when you get it right. Now. We'll drop a free link to the AMG Assessment in the notes so you can find out your type. Bring what resonated into your next AMG group, or share it with a friend who needs to hear it. You were made to thrive—and the best way to do that is by being fully, authentically you.

It's easy to get caught up in speed when practicing. Faster fills, quicker chops, higher BPMs. But most mistakes, tension, and sloppy playing come from one simple issue: trying to go faster than you're ready for.Slowing down isn't just for beginners—it's for pros who want to play with intention and depth. Think about how your favorite drummers sound so effortless. That didn't come from rushing—it came from repetition, patience, and groove.https://drumlessonsinla.com/blog/the-drum-set-shrink-podcast

Ready to break free from burnout and self-sabotage?Join The Capacity Gap Workshop, register FREE at https://rewirecapacity.com  The flight response is often misunderstood as weakness or avoidance, but it's actually a deeply wired survival strategy shaped by fear and trauma. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we uncover how the nervous system uses constant motion, through overwork, hustle, and productivity, to escape from internal sensations and emotions that once felt unsafe. You'll learn how fear disguises itself as discipline, why rest feels threatening to high performers, and how chronic busyness creates a false sense of safety while eroding health and connection. From neuroscience to personal stories, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof explain the mechanisms of the flight response, its roots in trauma, and the protective role it sometimes plays. Most importantly, we share practical somatic tools to slow down, regulate the nervous system, and reclaim fear as a signal for presence and alignment, not something to outrun. 00:00 – Running from internal sensations, not others 00:24 – Busyness and productivity as avoidance 00:43 – Slowing down in somatic therapy 01:33 – Hustler identity and chronic overdoing 02:25 – Flight tied to fear of stillness 03:11 – Welcome to Trauma Rewired 04:15 – Flight patterns: urgency, overscheduling, avoidance 05:13 – When flight signals misalignment 07:46 – Flight as protection against overstimulation 09:31 – Brain-body mechanics of flight 11:50 – Fear bypassed as weakness 13:10 – Trauma and structural reinforcement of flight 15:36 – Movement replacing emotion 17:35 – Somatic healing requires slowing down 18:32 – Signs of inward-directed flight 19:55 – Disconnection from body cues (hunger, fatigue) 23:39 – Somatic regulation steps and tools 25:53 – Fear as primal protective signal 28:12 – Regulation tools to create space between sensation and action 31:24 – Stillness and vulnerability as safety 32:16 – Somatic release of fear: frozen shoulder story 33:28 – Reclaiming emotions as growth tools 34:36 – Fear, intuition, and aligned action Topics Discussed in This Episode: The difference between healthy fear and chronic flight How trauma conditions the nervous system to stay in motion The neuroscience of the flight response: amygdala, hypothalamus, PAG, prefrontal cortex Why productivity and hustle are often survival strategies Signs of chronic flight in relationships and work The hidden cost of avoiding emotions through busyness Somatic tools for slowing down and processing fear Rewiring chronic flight through neuroplasticity and body-based healing The role of cultural and systemic trauma in reinforcing flight How to reclaim fear as a clarifying signal for safety and presence

This week, we launched a new series called “Failure to Thrive.” In it, we are taking a look at why some of us aren't growing spiritually the way God intended. Jesus came to give us life to the full (John 10:10), but many believers feel stuck, exhausted, or spiritually dry.In this first message, we explored the importance of Proper Rest, beginning with the truth that Jesus is our Sabbath Rest (Hebrews 4:9-11). True rest isn't about escapism or laziness. It's about trusting in Christ's finished work, slowing down to sit at His feet like Mary, and rooting our identity in who we are in Him.We rest by:Letting go of self-righteous striving (Philippians 3:7–9),Slowing our pace to enjoy God's presence,Standing firm in our God-given identity (Colossians 3:3).If you're feeling spiritually depleted, don't just try harder, learn to rest better. Sabbath Rest is where healing begins, and where thriving becomes possible.Next week: Proper Diet—how to nourish your soul. Don't miss it!

Australia's productivity growth has slowed in recent decades, reaching just 0.9 per cent in 2022-23. To address this, Canberra is hosting a three-day Productivity Roundtable with economists, unions, and business leaders. Proposed solutions include cutting red tape, increasing investment, and trialling four-day work weeks. Treasurer Jim Chalmers highlights AI as a “game changer,” while experts warn that low growth is already impacting young Australians.

Slowing down doesn't mean giving up. It means realigning. This episode offers a new pace for high-capacity humans — one grounded in identity, not adrenaline. Gentle isn't passive. It's powerful.If slowing down feels risky — like you'll lose your edge, your momentum, or your reputation — this episode is for you.You're not stuck. You're just due for a reset.But not the kind that requires quitting it all or taking a sabbatical.Today, Julie Holly explores the slow reset — a powerful recalibration for high-capacity humans who have learned to move fast, lead boldly, and perform under pressure… but who long for peace without losing their purpose.You'll hear why intentional slowness, when chosen from identity (not burnout), restores clarity, sharpens your decisions, and recalibrates your nervous system.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “gentle” doesn't mean “passive”What happens when we climb without ever descendingHow your nervous system interprets pace as safety or threatWhy rest should be treated with as much precision as performanceHow ILR reframes slowing down as leadership, not failureJulie shares a recent story about returning from an intensive Private Recalibration Session — and how, instead of pushing through, she chose to reset. She reminds us: recalibration isn't a one-time event. It's a way of life.You'll also hear about Ryan Holiday's powerful evolution from The Obstacle Is the Way to Stillness Is the Key — and how that shift mirrors what many high-capacity humans are experiencing now. (Julie will link the book in the show notes.)

You're not your title. You're not your hustle. You're not your past. This episode dismantles the identity myths keeping high-capacity professionals stuck—and shows you what happens when you recalibrate from truth.You're not your title.You're not your hustle.You're not your past.You've probably heard that before—but if you're honest, there are still parts of you living as if those things define you.In this episode of the Identity-Level Recalibration Podcast, Julie Holly explores the quiet, often-unquestioned myths around identity that keep high-capacity humans stuck in performance-based lives that no longer reflect who they are becoming.If you've ever said:“I'm only valuable when I'm producing.”“Slowing down means I'll fall behind.”“If I'm not needed, I'm not enough.”This episode is your wake-up call.Julie unpacks:✔️ The most common identity myths silently sabotaging alignment✔️ Why high performers confuse value with visibility, output, and affirmation✔️ The difference between performance and identity✔️ Why recalibration is a return to truth, not a departure from success✔️ How faith and vertical alignment ground your identity in something more permanent than public perceptionYou'll also hear how recalibration opens the door to joy, peace, and the surprising parts of yourself you've never met—because identity isn't fixed… it evolves.Today's Micro-Recalibration PromptWhat belief are you holding about yourself that you've never questioned?Write it down.Say it out loud.And ask:“Is this actually true—or just familiar?”You are allowed to release stories that no longer serve your becoming.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Podcast Notes   Episode 477 Who's Really In Charge Here? Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: August 7th, 2025 In this episode, Brian and Chad explore how coaching principles can transform leadership within organizations. They discuss the tension leaders often feel between maintaining control and empowering others, and how adopting a coaching posture—rooted in humility, curiosity, and shared authority—can lead to more collaborative and impactful decision-making. The conversation draws on real experiences and offers insight into how coaching shapes not just conversations, but entire organizational cultures. Key Highlights: Coaching in leadership often involves navigating a tension between control and collaboration. Humility is central to a coaching posture and essential for effective leadership. Leaders frequently face pressure to have all the answers, but coaching invites shared exploration. The importance of slowing down in conversations to give space for others' thinking. Organizations may superficially embrace coaching while still defaulting to top-down, directive leadership styles. Takeaways: A true coaching posture prioritizes listening over telling and curiosity over certainty. Leadership is most transformative when it empowers others rather than asserting control. Shared authority doesn't mean giving up leadership—it means leading differently. Slowing down your responses and allowing others to process can create more meaningful and insightful conversations.

In today's fast-paced world, Christian leaders are often caught on the “ministry hamster wheel”—spinning endlessly with meetings, sermons, crises, and expectations. But what if the most radical, missional act we could take isn't to do more, but to slow down? In this episode, Pete Scazzero calls us to break free from the cycle of overload and distraction by embracing a countercultural rhythm of life rooted in Jesus. Drawing from personal experience and church history, Pete shows how slowing down is not self-care—it's spiritual resistance. It's leadership. It's mission. This is the first episode in a new series on the 8 Marks of an Emotionally Healthy Culture, beginning with the most foundational mark: Slowing down to be with God before doing for Him. If you're longing for a church culture marked by peace instead of anxiety, depth instead of shallowness, and prayerful leadership instead of constant reaction—this episode is for you.

About this Episode Is achieving a secure attachment really the ultimate marker of relationship success or could this mindset be doing more harm than good? In the quest for intimacy and connection, many of us fall into the trap of labeling ourselves and our partners, clinging to the idea that “secure” is the only way to be. But what happens when relationships don't fit neatly into these categories, or when past experiences have shaped us in ways that make security seem out of reach? The pressure to be “securely attached” can sometimes backfire, leading to shame, blame, and a sense of hopelessness. In this episode, you'll discover why secure attachment doesn't have to be the ultimate destination, and why striving for secure functioning—those daily choices and mindful practices that build safety and trust—can be a far more compassionate and realistic goal. Drawing on insights from trauma work, attachment research, and couples therapy, this conversation unpacks the pitfalls of categorizing relationships as “good” or “bad,” explores the nuances of healing within partnership, and offers actionable ways to build resilience, understanding, and growth—no matter where you are on the attachment spectrum. Hanna Basel is a seasoned couples therapist and certified sex therapist. With expertise in attachment, trauma, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT), she helps people untangle their most complicated relationship patterns. As a former addictions counselor, Hanna brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. She has been featured on CNN, Kare 11, MSN, and numerous podcasts where she talked about her ultimate and simple goal: to help people build relationships that help us heal and thrive. Check out the transcript of this episode on Dr. Jessica Higgin's website.
