I'm kicking off my four-part series on the four CEO types, and we're starting with the one I know very well: the Decisive CEO. If you're the kind of leader who makes high-stakes decisions fast, holds your standards without flinching, and doesn't waste time dragging dead offers into the ground… you're in the right place. I'm breaking down why your speed, intensity, and directness are not problems to "fix"—they're competitive advantages. But I'm also sharing the one place where decisiveness can backfire: when your momentum outruns trust. We'll talk about how to build trust infrastructure (without becoming "softer" or handholding people one-by-one) so your leadership lands, your clients feel supported, and your business grows faster without draining you. Timeline Highlights [00:00] - I introduce the four-part CEO types series and why most business advice only works for two "popular" operator styles [02:38] - The Decisive CEO profile: fast decisions, strong pricing energy, and bold leadership—plus the "you're too much" conditioning [04:22] - Core wiring: task-oriented + fast-paced (and why that's an asset, not a liability) [08:23] - Why decisive leaders win: quick decisions, no dead-offer loyalty, strong boundaries, and results-driven thinking [13:31] - How Decisive CEOs naturally make more money: aligned pricing, strong qualification, boundaries, quick pivots, and clear messaging [22:47] - The biggest blind spot: hype-first marketing (and how decisiveness can accidentally override buyer readiness) [32:01] - The solution: build trust infrastructure that creates connection automatically—without turning into a "hey girl bestie" brand [35:21] - Practical trust assets: credibility-driven content, pre-sale sequences, onboarding that creates safety, and clearer expectations [39:35] - Your game plan: design offers for experience (not just outcomes), demonstrate expertise, automate trust-building, protect your energy, and build for the life you want Top Quotes "Your intensity is a huge asset for your business." "You do not have to soften yourself… but what you do have to do is build systems." "Protect your energy like it's a business asset because it is." "You should not be working with people who drain you or make you resent your business." "Your decisiveness and your directness is an asset, not a liability."

Sophia Lebowitz, reporter for Streetsblog, explains the new 15 mile-per-hour speed limit in effect for all vehicles in Central Park, including bicycles and e-bikes, designed to make the drive safer for pedestrians, while Neile Weissman, cycling advocate and contributor to Streetsblog, argues that more options for cyclists would be a more effective strategy.

Do you feel uneasy when things slow down?Does rest make you restless, anxious, or uncomfortable—while staying busy feels safer?In this episode of Mental Health School, we explore why slowing down doesn't feel safe for so many people, even when their life is stable and nothing is technically wrong.You'll learn how your nervous system learned to associate alertness, productivity, or movement with safety—and why stillness can feel threatening if it was once linked to vulnerability or unpredictability. This episode explains why feeling uncomfortable at rest isn't a personal flaw, but a conditioned nervous system response.We also include a gentle grounding exercise designed to help your body experience stillness with support—without forcing calm or “trying to relax.”This episode is for you if:You feel better staying busy than restingStillness makes your mind louderYou feel guilty or uneasy doing nothingYou've wondered why slowing down feels unsafeUnderstanding always comes before regulation. This episode helps you understand why your body resists slowing down—and how safety is relearned over time.

Have you ever looked at your business and thought, “Everything is technically fine… so why do I feel different?”This episode isn't really about confidence. It's about what happens when you grow, heal, and evolve — and the old way of working no longer fits.Because here's the thing no one talks about in business: There are seasons.Seasons of hustle and growth. Seasons of momentum and expansion. And seasons of integration, slowing down, and recalibrating.But most women were taught to stay in GO mode forever.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why healing and growth can make you question yourself (even when nothing is “wrong”)Why confidence often feels shaky during seasons of transitionHow identity shifts in business can feel uncomfortable — especially for experienced entrepreneursWhy hustling all the time is a dangerous narrative (and no, that doesn't mean business is easy)What it actually looks like to build a profitable, sustainable business you enjoyAnd why slow, steady, long-game leadership is where real fulfillment livesI also share what this season has looked like for me — moving from a high-output, hustle year into a slower, more intentional year focused on integration and healing — and why I believe this is a sign of growth, not regression.If you're an ambitious woman who wants:to make good moneywithout burning yourself outwith systems that support your lifeand success that actually feels fulfillingThis conversation is for you.You're not losing your confidence. You're not falling behind. And you're definitely not doing business wrong.You're just in a different season.And that season matters.

Successful but no longer fulfilled? Have you considered burning the boats? Today, I sit down with longtime friend, coach, and full-throttle entrepreneur Jim Palmer. Jim shares how to redefine work on your own terms and how to confront your fear, identity, and the temptation to stay busy instead of making progress. This conversation offers a powerful framework for anyone approaching a transition—and wondering what's next.

I'm back from a week in Italy with a full belly and an even fuller heart after a babymoon trip with my husband—one last adventure before we welcome our baby boy this May. Inspired by my Lessons from London episode, today I'm sharing the reflections, mindset shifts, and quiet wisdom I brought home from traveling. From marriage and family priorities to style, food, and slowing down, this episode is all about what travel can teach us if we're paying attention.

We're still in winter — even if part of us is itching to rush ahead.In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake, Candace explores the quiet, in-between season where spring hasn't arrived yet, but the urge to speed up is strong. Instead of pushing forward, she reflects on what it looks like to resist the rush and choose stillness — even when it feels uncomfortable.Through small, intentional practices like turning off her phone, sitting in silence during drives, and creating space without distraction, Candace shares how stillness has become an unexpected doorway. A doorway into emotions long suppressed — rage, sadness, guilt, shame — and into the courage it takes to feel them, listen to them, and let them move through the body without carrying them forward.This episode is an invitation to honor the hibernation season, to trust that not everything needs to bloom right now, and to remember that when we allow ourselves to feel and release what's been held for years, spring arrives more vibrant, more honest, and more alive. 

When your life is shattered by trauma, slowing down can feel impossible—even unsafe. In this tender, soul-nourishing conversation, Kristin reconnects with her friend Anna Christine Seiple, a licensed counselor, trauma survivor, and author of The Sacred Art of Slowing Down. Anna shares her profound story of devastation, healing, and rebuilding a life she never imagined possible.   Together, Kristin and Anna explore: ✨ Why slowing down is often forced upon us in seasons of trauma—and how it becomes an unexpected doorway to healing ✨ How the body carries what the mind tries to outrun, and why listening to your body is a deeply biblical practice ✨ The damaging myth in Christian culture that the body is “bad,” and how Scripture actually presents a fully integrated, embodied spirituality ✨ Why healing isn't linear, logical, or fast—and how God meets us in the mystery ✨ Permission to be human: the messy, cyclical process of grief, anger, hope, and restoration ✨ What it looks like to tend gently to the parts of yourself you've long ignored or believed were unworthy of care   If you're walking through betrayal, chronic stress, unwanted sexual behavior or profound disorientation, this episode will remind you that your body is not your enemy—your body is crying out for compassion. God created you as an integrated whole, and every part of you is worthy of love, safety, and healing.   Anna's wisdom, vulnerability, and theological depth offer real hope for anyone longing to feel whole again.   Link to Anna's book: https://a.co/d/dHvaCtF Anna's website: https://www.acseiple.com/

Episode 119: Still Learning: How My Teachings Have Evolved Through Lived Experience After seven years of living in a 24/7 DOM/sub dynamic and several years of teaching, Andrew shares how his understanding of the concepts he teaches has deepened and evolved. Growth means being willing to reconsider what you thought you knew, and in this episode, Andrew opens up about the nuances he's discovered through lived experience. In this episode, Andrew explores: Masculine Emotion: Why letting her see you in your emotional process builds intimacy, not polarity loss. The difference between using her as your therapist versus letting her witness your humanity. Feminine Chaos Redefined: Two definitions of chaos and why one represents disorder while the other holds pure potential. How a woman moves from emotional reactivity to embodied calm. Slowing Down on the Inside: Why an externally slow life doesn't matter if you're still racing internally. How your tension as a man blocks her ability to relax and receive. The Role of Fear: Why most relationships are actually between each other's conditioning and programming. How fear protects itself and why you can't force your way through it. Structure vs. Containment: The critical difference that changes everything. Why applying structure to her crushes her spirit, and what she actually needs instead. Individual Healing: Why the work is always individual. How healing yourself transforms the relationship without trying to fix it. This episode offers hard-won wisdom for anyone committed to growth in their dynamic and their life.

How do you make your podcasting hours really count? You know the feeling—you plan to sit down and record your episode, and before you know it, that day has completely gotten away from you. There's a plan to make, research to conduct, and stretch breaks to squeeze in. It usually takes longer than expected to record, and afterwards, there's editing, marketing, design…if you don't have a robust team behind you, it's one heck of a job! Inspired by the Chinese Year of the Fire Horse, full of intense energy and rapid transformation, Mary welcomes 2026 with a call to action for every podcaster: Slow down! Sure, you can create a podcast episode quickly—you can use the ever-transforming generative AI to write, record, and edit. You can blurt out whatever pops into your head as it comes. But a show that really lands with the target audience needs to be intentional. This year, take the time to pause, strategize, and make meaningful decisions. The likely result? A rock-star show worthy of all the fiery passion you put into it. Slow down and consider what you want out of your podcast: How new technologies and breakthroughs are changing and challenging the industry; Why you should time your whole podcast procedure; The difference between a quick episode and a short episode.

Hi my loves

In this episode of This Is Kingdom, Grace, TJ, Talon, and Hollis celebrate Valentine's week, then dive into what it really means when we hear that the Lord is hastening His work. Through stories from missions, everyday life, and the simple moments we usually rush past, the hosts explore the difference between being busy and being urgent for the right things. They talk about slowing down enough to actually see people, ask real questions, and make space for the sacred moments God is trying to put in our path.This episode is a reminder that a spiritual life is hard to build in a hurry, and that hastening does not always look like doing more. With insight from Elder Cook and a powerful example from Abraham, the conversation invites listeners to live with open hands and an open schedule, ready for God to fill it. It is an encouragement to be available, to be present, and to move quickly when the Lord gives you something to do.Chapters:00:00 INTRO06:13 "Meaning Behind 'How Are You?'"09:54 "Slowing Down to Uplift Others"10:52 "Balancing Urgency and Stillness"14:03 "Being Present and Grateful"

In this stream-of-consciousness solo episode, Paige records from the car on her way to Boston and invites listeners into an honest reflection on creativity, overwhelm, and the courage it takes to slow down. She shares stories of reconnecting with longtime artist friends, supporting a fellow creative taking a leap into entrepreneurship, and navigating the fear that often shows up right before meaningful growth. Paige reflects on feeling spread thin, the pressure to follow through on big opportunities, and the idea of intentionally unplugging from social media, expectations, and constant productivity in order to return to what truly matters. She also dives into lessons from a recent intimate wedding-industry gathering, unpacking conversations around validation, comparison, and the deep desire many creatives share to simply rest, be bored, and reconnect offline. The episode comes full circle with Paige's love for creating safe, nourishing spaces through workshops, community, and her new snail-mail art project where people can work with their hands, feel seen, and take a much-needed pause from the noise of the world. A gentle reminder that creativity, connection, and kindness toward ourselves are not luxuries, they're essential.Join Paige's Petal PostTakeawaysCreative connections are vital for support and encouragement.Navigating creative challenges often requires self-reflection.Community and networking can enhance creative experiences.Overcoming self-doubt is essential for following through on ideas.Unplugging from technology can lead to rediscovering joy in creativity.Creating safe spaces allows for authentic expression.Vulnerability in conversations fosters deeper connections.Embracing boredom can lead to rediscovering passions.Technology impacts our ability to connect meaningfully.Sending snail mail can create personal connections and joy.

Two passionate, creative humans who loved each other deeply, but could feel that love alone wasn't going to carry them through blended family stress, real-life pressure, and the places where communication gets messy.Fast forward, and they're not only thriving, they're living proof of what happens when people learn skills they were never taught.In this conversation, we sit down with Marnie and Patrick to talk about the real work of building a relationship that lasts: emotional safety, voice, honest repair, and learning how to stay close even when life is loud.In this episode, we talk about:How “magic” can be real and still not be enough on its ownThe moment you hit the bottom of your bag of tricks and realize you need skillsThe “gap” where assumptions grow and relationships drift (and how to close it)What changes when you learn to say the thing… kindly, clearly, and without explodingWhy emotional safety is the foundation for blended families, grief, and big life transitionsNovelty vs. grounding: how couples stop fighting their differences and start using themA simple but powerful truth: nobody completes you, but the right partnership can expand youWhy so many people hit a crisis around 40, and what's actually happening underneath itThe difference between a “travel itinerary” and an experience that helps you remember you like each otherWant to join us in Tuscany?

There is nothing noble about running yourself into the ground to prove you are enough. Topics Discussed How overdoing disguises itself as being responsible, capable, and admired Why slowing down can trigger anxiety, guilt, or loss of identity Movement as a coping mechanism for nervous system regulation The invisible link between fertility burnout, worthiness, and control How awareness softens patterns without forcing change What happens when you stop over-functioning for everyone else Overdoing is not strength. It is often just a nervous system trying to feel safe. Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… This episode is a pause. Not the kind you schedule. The kind that sneaks up on you when you realize how much effort you are pouring into things that are not actually required. The kind that makes you notice how uncomfortable stillness feels when your identity has been built on being the one who does it all. We talk about overdoing. Not the dramatic kind. The praised kind. The kind that earns compliments while quietly exhausting your nervous system. The kind that looks like leadership, motherhood, fertility dedication, or being the responsible one. And how often that constant motion is not ambition at all, but survival. If you have ever wondered why slowing down feels harder than pushing through, or why letting something be imperfect makes your chest tighten, this episode is for you. No fixing. No forcing. Just awareness. And what starts to shift when you finally let yourself see the pattern. Timestamps 01:42 How overdoing hides behind being capable 03:35 Movement as nervous system regulation 04:27 Noticing patterns without judgment 06:18 Letting go of perfection and control 07:07 The link between overdoing and worthiness Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/Why%20Slowing%20Down%20Can%20Feel%20Unsafe%20During%20Your%20Fertility%20Journey Let's Do This Together

The Rush Trap: Slowing Down to Move Forward explores why many neurodivergent people feel driven to start tasks before fully planning, a pattern rooted in executive function differences rather than laziness. The episode explains how ADHD-related impulsivity, dopamine needs, time blindness, and autism-related overwhelm or masking can fuel this urge to rush. It offers compassionate, research-informed strategies—like brief planning pauses, simple checklists, micro-steps, and body doubling—to help slow down, reduce stress, and work more effectively.⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/JenniferPTTS?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠Here are the links from the articles referenced in the script:https://www.problemshared.net/resources/neurodiversity-and-executive-functionhttps://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2024/10/21/what-are-executive-function-delays-research-shows-they-re-similar-in-adhd-and-autism.htmlhttps://thinkadhd.co.uk/adhd-and/adhd-and-motivation/https://add.org/adhd-paralysis/https://www.shimmer.care/adhd-101/completing-taskshttps://affinitypsych.com/why-do-people-with-adhd-struggle-to-complete-tasks/https://www.pbsmidwest.com/blog/overcoming-task-avoidance-using-momentum-based-strategieshttps://actifyaba.com/how-to-support-task-initiation-in-autism-with-practical-tips/https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour/demand-avoidancehttps://aidecanada.ca/resources/learn/asd-id-core-knowledge/addressing-underlying-causes-of-low-motivation-and-task-avoidancehttps://www.adhdcentre.co.uk/tips-for-adhd-impulse-control-in-adults/https://laconciergepsychologist.com/blog/10-strategies-managing-adhd-impulsivity/https://www.additudemag.com/how-do-i-stop-being-impulsive-adhd/

This is Part 3 of a three-part series on time management, motivation, and slowing down to speed up.If you haven't listened to Parts 1 and 2 yet, go back and start there. This episode builds directly on that foundation.In this final installment, I'm talking about the real reason time management feels so hard for so many people — and it has very little to do with your calendar.In an uncertain world, there are only a few things you actually control:Your thoughts.Your emotional state.Your actions (or inaction).And learning to work from that truth — instead of fighting reality — is the key to a fulfilling life and a deep sense of pride in how you spend your time.In this episode, I introduce a tool I call Mind Blocking.It's designed to pair with time blocking — but instead of controlling your schedule, it helps you develop flexibility, awareness, and emotional resilience while you're working. Mind Blocking is about noticing your thoughts in real time, separating from them, and intentionally shifting your inner experience so you can move forward with clarity and momentum.Because here's what usually happens:You start working.Something goes wrong.A client pushes back.A ball gets dropped.You don't hear back from a prospect.And suddenly your mind spirals into panic, frustration, self-doubt, or resentment — all while you're still trying to get things done.This episode walks you through a 4-step Mind Blocking process that helps you stay in the observation deck of your own mind — so stress doesn't hijack your focus, and momentum doesn't collapse the moment things get uncomfortable.We'll cover:How to decide who you want to be when it comes to follow-through and reliabilityHow to notice unhelpful thoughts while you're working (without stopping)How to replace them intentionally in the moment — not laterHow to let those new thoughts shift your emotional state and build lasting capacityOver time, this practice compounds.Your confidence grows.Your capacity expands.Your relationship with time changes.You stop designing your life around your limits — and start becoming someone who can handle more with ease.This is how you slow down internally… and speed everything else up.Royalty Free Music from Tunetank.com Track: Urban Legend by Musical Bakery https://tunetank.com/track/3362-urban-legend/

Brian From talks with Kyle Isabelli, lead pastor of Avenue Christian Church, about stepping into senior leadership at a young age—and doing so just as the pandemic upended everything. Kyle shares how preaching through the book of Romans has sparked honest, healthy conversations about unity, judgment, government, and disagreement in a deeply divided cultural moment. The discussion ultimately points toward a countercultural invitation: slowing down, staying rooted in Christ, and learning to be present with others—even when we don’t see eye to eye.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textWhen a new year starts, a lot of people quietly hope their relationship will feel lighter by now.Less tension.Less distance.Fewer conversations that end in the same painful place.But if it still feels hard to get through to each other, this episode is your reminder that you're not broken and you're not alone.In this conversation, we unpack the skill that quietly determines whether your conversations create connection or turn into conflict: emotional regulation.Because most couples don't actually need “better communication” first.They need more emotional stability first.You'll learn why emotional regulation is the gateway skill that makes every other relationship tool work, especially when life feels intense, stressful, or unsafe and your nervous system is already carrying too much.In this episode, we cover:Why “we should just talk it through” often backfires when emotions are highHow stress and uncertainty show up as tone, impatience, and quick reactivity at homeThe missing concept most couples never learned: emotional capacity (and how it impacts conflict)How emotional regulation works in real life, using the “emotional plank” metaphorThe tiny moment where everything changes: catching tension early enough to choose a different responseA practical reframe that can stop escalation fast: shifting from “don't want” language to “want” languageWhy emotional regulation is not “being nice,” “stuffing it,” or “letting things slide”What to do when you feel like you're the only one doing the work (and why it still matters)A simple practice to build your regulation reps: short rounds of listening, even when you disagreeA challenge you can try today: a literal plank to connect the body to emotional tension and build awarenessKey takeawayIf conversations keep collapsing, it's often not because you don't love each other.It's because your nervous systems are overloaded and you're trying to have hard conversations without the foundation that makes them safe.Stability first. Clarity second.Need help getting unstuck?If you feel like you're living at the edge of capacity and you can't find clarity inside the conflict, book a free Clarity Call. It's a short, supportive conversation to help you slow down, feel seen, and get clear on your next step.Schedule here: stacibartley.com/applyTimestamps: 04:00 The Importance of Emotional Safety at Home08:03 Emotional Capacity and Resilience13:07 Practical Examples of Emotional Regulation18:06 The Power of Choice in Emotional Tension21:45 Focusing on Solutions, Not Problems26:23 The Impact of Emotional Awareness on Relationships28:05 Navigating Relationship Tensions29:45 Holding Tension for Yourself32:07 The Power of Demonstrated Behavior33:32 Practical Steps for Emotional Capacity35:35 Slowing Down in High-Stress Moments42:16 Building Emotional Awareness44:56 The Importance of Emotional Regulation50:28 Creating Safe Spaces in Relationships

In this Mindfulness in Action episode, I'm sharing a spontaneous trail-side reflection on something that's been very present for me lately: how we manage drive without burning out and how we stay truly connected in a world that keeps telling us to “go bigger.”I talk about rethinking social media impact, why I'm increasingly prioritizing local and real-time connection, and how and asking better questions can completely change the quality of our relationships. I also share some simple practices I've been using, like voice memos and short phone calls, to stay meaningfully connected without adding more pressure or noise.Synchronous, human connection matters so much for feeling valued. That's why I wanted to explore how curiosity helps us move beyond surface-level interaction, and why small, intentional shifts can have a bigger impact than trying to reach everyone, everywhere.I close with a short mindfulness practice you can do anywhere to help you reconnect with your body, reflect on when you feel most connected to others, and take one small step toward more meaningful connection in your everyday life.You'll learn to:Ground into your body, even while in motionReflect on when you feel most connected to othersIdentify one small step you can take to create deeper, more meaningful connection offlineOther meditations:– Slowing Down the Rush– How to Regulate Your Emotions for Resilience and Performance– How to Combat Self-Criticism--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

If you haven't listened to Part 1, pause this episode and go back now. This is a two-part conversation, and the context matters.In Part 2, I'm talking about the moment most people get stuck: when you don't feel like it. When motivation is low. When you're tired, distracted, traveling, overwhelmed—or telling yourself this just isn't the right time to push.I share a real example from being in Mexico and asking myself a hard question: Am I the kind of person who doesn't want responsibility right now… or am I becoming the kind of person who can hold responsibility anywhere? That shift changed everything.This episode breaks down the difference between designing your life around your limitations versus becoming the version of yourself who can handle more—with less stress. Counterintuitively, it's more exhausting to live a life of constant accommodation than it is to build capacity. When you slow down the right way, you actually speed everything up.In this episode, you'll learn:How to move from “I don't feel like it” to becoming someone who doesThe actions that create real momentum (not fake motivation)How your environment and mental “soundtrack” drive your productivityWhy procrastination isn't a character flaw—it's a solvable patternHow to stop negotiating with yourself and start following throughThis is about time management at a deeper level. Not hacks. Not tricks. Identity, momentum, and decision-making that compounds over time.Join Me Live This WednesdayI'm teaching a FREE live workshop this Wednesday where I'll help you apply these ideas directly to your business—so you can create momentum, close more deals, and stop stalling out when it matters most.

In this episode, Lisa explores how addiction and compulsion extend far beyond substances to include any behavior that offers short-term relief at the cost of long-term freedom. Drawing on Gabor Maté's framework and her own lived experience, she unpacks how dieting, restriction, productivity, and people-pleasing can quietly become addictive coping strategies that create an illusion of safety and control. Lisa introduces the concept of “dieting addiction” and addiction transfer, explaining how food restriction can be just as reinforcing as overeating, and why these patterns can live in the brain as learned responses to stress. With raw honesty, she shares her own breakdown and eating disorder diagnosis, and broadens the lens to include socially rewarded addictions like caffeine use and workaholism. Topics Include:Compulsion and AddictionDieting and RestrictionAddiction TransferGrief, Slowing Down, and Support[0:56] Lisa begins this episode by checking in with herself the way she does with all of her guests. She shares her feeling of nervousness and excitement about recording the solo episode. Lisa realized she has approached her solo podcast series with a habitual sense of urgency to get to the end of her notes and finish the chapter. She describes the urgency as similar to the pressure one might feel to lose weight quickly, even when there's no real timeframe.[8:05] Lisa explains that her current intentional weight loss experience has triggered memories and trauma from her previous extreme weight loss. For Lisa to properly convey the depth and gravity of her current experience, she feels it's essential to first provide the context of her past struggles with dieting addiction.[14:41] Lisa presents a model comparing the physical actions of dieting with the psychological rewards. Lisa explains that on the surface, it looks like discipline and willpower, but psychologically, it can be an addiction where the person feels they can't not engage in the behavior out of fear. Lisa talks about how this demonstrates how the brain can equate not eating with stress relief and safety, making it difficult to stop dieting even when consciously desired.[29:48] Lisa explains that proponents of intuitive eating argue that food addiction isn't real, as addictive-like behaviors are often a direct result of either physical or mental restriction. Lisa partially agrees but maintains that for some, including herself, the behavior is a byproduct of the hippocampus storing the memory that food alleviates stress, making it a "drug of choice" independent of dieting. [50:31] Lisa discusses  that one doesn't need to have a formal diagnosis to address addictive behaviors and reclaim personal power. The key is to pay attention to the relationship with a behavior, not the behavior itself. Lisa explains that addiction is present when you feel you can't not do something, rather than choosing to do it freely.[54:48] Lisa talks about how society rewards other addictive behaviors, such as extreme weight loss and workaholism, creating "high-functioning" addicts who appear successful but are internally struggling. Lisa explains that creating safety often requires slowing down, which may mean accomplishing less. [1:12:18] Lisa closes this episode by discussing grief in the process and how one may need to grieve the identity of being a person who "does it all" to prioritize well-being. She compares the process to sitting shiva and when grieving old habits or identities, it is valid to allow oneself to be supported and cared for by others.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠
