Podcasts about social pressure

Where does the scarcity mindset, imposter syndrome, and loss aversion come from? Welcome to a mindset masterclass from history. Learn if the very instincts that kept humanity alive are now keeping you from truly living. For 290,000 years, we survived by playing it safe, following the tribe, and hoarding resources. These weren't character flaws—they were survival strategies in a world where innovation could mean death. The scarcity mindset that once threatened our ancestors' survival now threatens our potential. The tribal conformity that once protected us now prevents breakthrough thinking. The focused attention that once saved lives now creates cognitive tunnels. This episode goes beyond history to recognise the invisible forces shaping your choices and breaking out of survival mode. ------- NEW SHOW - How to Change the World Sam's new show can be found on major podcast players: Spotify - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1Fj3eFjEoAEKF5lWQxPJyT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Apple - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-change-the-world-the-history-of-innovation/id1815282649⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@HowToChangeTheWorldPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Can't find it on your player?

We are wired to survive. But survival in society often means surrendering parts of ourselves. The instinct to belong runs deep, so deep that we trade authenticity for approval, expression for acceptance. In a world shaped by silent expectations, the tension between conformity and individuality becomes a quiet battle within. The psychology of fear and survival keeps us looping through old patterns, shaped by past wounds and inherited beliefs. Even as we grow, the ghosts of the past whisper: fit in, stay small, stay safe. But survival is no longer just about staying alive it's about coming alive. This episode invites reflection on survival instincts in society, surviving social pressures, and navigating conformity in modern life, not to escape them, but to meet them with awareness and begin to rewrite the pattern.

In yesterday's devotional I highlighted something from Augustine: “The essence of sin is disordered love.”In short, we all love certain things and certain people. But if we get the order wrong, that's a problem. For example, if I love my job to the neglect my family, that's sin. In that scenario I'm living in a … Continue reading Priorities and social pressure

In this powerful episode, CJ dives into Chapter 4 of his book Your Diet Fails: The Ultimate Cheat Code to Eating Out and Staying Fit. This chapter is a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt awkward saying no to dessert, pressured to “just have one drink,” or judged for trying to stay healthy while everyone else indulges.CJ reframes the way we think about social dining. It's not about restriction or being the odd one out. It's about taking ownership, showing up with calm confidence, and leading by example. You can enjoy your food and your people—without compromising your health.Key Takeaways:People don't react to what you eat—they react to how you make them feel about their own choices. Own yours calmly and you diffuse tension.Social pressure isn't a reason to cave—it's an opportunity to lead.You can indulge, but make it intentional, not accidental. Control the moment so it doesn't control you.Boundaries aren't rude—they're a form of self-respect. And you don't owe anyone an explanation for choosing what's right for you.Dining out is about more than food—it's about connection, presence, and experience.5 Things You Can Start Doing Today:Use confident language when saying no. Say, “I'm good, thanks,” and move on. No guilt, no debate.Prepare a go-to line for common pressure moments. Example: “I've got an early workout tomorrow, so I'm skipping drinks tonight.”Influence the group early by suggesting healthier shared dishes. Leadership beats resistance.Set your boundary before the meal begins. Decide in advance what you'll have and what you'll skip. Stick to it.Slow down and be present. Savor your food, engage in conversation, and appreciate the full dining experience—not just the plate.This episode is a practical, empowering blueprint for navigating meals without guilt or regret. You're not just making a choice—you're building a lifestyle.

You are worthy of being loved, being respected and being safe!TEEN DATING VIOLENCE: A Silent EpidemicWe are living in a world where one in three students report experiencing some form of abuse, and more than 2/3 never report that abuse to a caring adult. A world where young people in more than 35 states still lack unfettered access to legal protection or other assistance to end an abusive relationship. A world where over 80% of school counselors report being unprepared to address incidents of abuse. This tells us – dating abuse isn't just a big issue. It's a growing epidemic.EFFECTS OF DATING VIOLENCE:Less attention to academics. Increased exposure to drugs and alcohol. A greater likelihood of teen pregnancy. Growing isolation. Sexual assault. Even one of these things can have a profound impact on the physical, social and emotional growth of a young person. Together, they create a perfect storm that not only affects the victim of abuse, but their friends, families, schools and surrounding communities. Every relationship exists along a spectrum…healthy …unhealthy…abusive…I do not want you to think if you have a fight with the person you love- then it must be a toxic relationship.  That is not true. You are different people, you have different perspectives and opinions and different personalities…you will disagree about things…you also will go through hard things at different times and handle them in different ways…keeping your relationship in a healthy, loving, thriving place takes effort, communication and time and a lot of grace for yourself and your partner.   Both of you have equal value and importance-regardless of difference in money, gender, age, popularity, status, smarts…both of you are worthy of love, both of you have strengths that should be cheered on and weaknesses that should be supported not put down of exploited. WHY WOULD SOMEONE STAY IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP?1.

Women are extremely perceptive when it comes to social cues. If you're nervous when you talk to her, she knows, and she doesn't find it attractive. While it's certainly normal to feel nervous, you NEED to get over these nerves if you want to exude the levels of confidence and charisma required to attract the hottest women. One of the best ways to do this is by desensitizing yourself to social pressure. By voluntarily putting yourself into awkward situations can build your "social pressure muscles", which will prepare you to talk to the hottest and most intimidating women you can imagine. In today's episode, Mark explains how this method works, and gives you some super effective (and hilarious) ways to put it into practice.

In this episode of the Ditch the Suits podcast, Steve Campbell and Travis Maus discuss why net worth is the wrong number to track for financial freedom. They emphasize that financial freedom is not just about money, but also about living a fulfilling life free from stress and anxiety. They explore why people stress about the volatility of their net worth and the value of their future estate. Travis explains that people's fixation on net worth is rooted in social pressure and the misconception that it determines their worth and flexibility. They also discuss the difference between price and value and the importance of understanding the true value of assets. Travis provides insights on how to reframe the conversation around net worth and focus on what really matters, such as educating children about finance, investing for the long term, and preparing heirs to manage wealth responsibly.__________________________________________________________Join our Skool Community at https://www.skool.com/ditch-the-suits-9234.

This episode dives in the problem of people in our lives who might say unsupportive comments about you cutting back or quitting alcohol. I explain WHY they might do this and how to navigate it if the person who is the offender is important to you. I also discuss our culture and the social pressure we experience when we are actively trying to change things. These things can be scary and make us not want to share and tell the truth about our drinking. But remember, this discomfort is temporary and you can get to a place where you aren't bothered by our heavy drinking society and other peoples thoughts and comments. Down the road, you will have established stronger boundaries, you will say no to doing things or being around people who don't feel supportive, you will move past this and have the true freedom you seek.

Summary This is the episode I needed several times in my life but it didn't exist back then. In "How to Bite Back," I examine the common misconception that kindness is weakness. We introverts so often feel the pressure to people-please at the expense of our own well-being. In this episode I aim to empower listeners who identify as people-pleasers to hold boundaries both for self-care and to maintain healthy relationships. Being assertive is standing up for your rights and needs, whilst respecting the rights and needs of others. I share my ABC framework—Assertiveness, Bravery, Confidence - for we introverts to stand up for ourselves with poise and dignity, to bite back with kindness and transparency. Key Points Kindness isn't weakness; set boundaries. Assertiveness respects self and others. Communication involves listening and understanding. PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: What Type of Introvert are you?

Is society sick? Are we sick? Let's treat our drive to conform as a disorder we can diagnose and fix. This episode is a hypothetical deep dive where we treat our obedience to social pressure like other personality disorders. Main topics: DSM-5 entry for Social Pressure Personality Disorder (SPPD) 2 contrasting case studies Crossovers with other disorders How to manage and break out of your social pressure problems We develop a set of symptomatic criteria, case studies and a treatment plan to get us to live an independent life on our terms. This is an obvious episode for anyone wanting to take charge of their life instead of their life living them. It's also designed to help you think like a psychologist and imagine how a therapist would approach diagnosing and treating such a disorder if it existed. It's an experimental format.

In this compelling three-part episode we delve into the contentious issue surrounding the recent decision by the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) in Michigan to close coyote hunting for three months, from April 15th to July 15th. This decision, allegedly made under the influence of social pressure rather than scientific evidence, stands in violation of the North American model of wildlife conservation, specifically its principle that science should guide wildlife policy. Steve Windom, Director of Development and Membership at Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC), joins us to provide an in-depth analysis of the situation. Through our discussion with Windom, we explore how this decision not only impacts hunters and anglers in Michigan but also poses a potential threat to the integrity of wildlife management across the North American continent. Windom argues that this move represents the beginning of a slippery slope towards managing natural resources based on emotional responses rather than biological data, a trend that could undermine the rights of outdoorsmen and women and jeopardize healthy ecosystems. Listeners will gain insight into the foundational principles of the North American model of wildlife conservation, the role and responsibilities of the NRC, and the broader implications of the coyote hunting season closure. The episode also highlights the importance of community involvement and advocacy in preserving hunting, fishing, and trapping rights, urging listeners to lend their voices to the cause. Whether you're a dedicated hunter, angler, conservation enthusiast, or simply someone interested in the delicate balance of our ecosystems, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at the challenges facing wildlife conservation today and the critical role of science in guiding policy decisions. Join us as we navigate the complex interplay of biology, policy, and public perception in the quest to sustain our outdoor heritage.  Buy me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/Aptitudeoutdoor More Aptitude Outdoors here: https://bit.ly/2YLp82N 

Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? — Galatians 4:8-9 CALL OUT: I want to give a shout-out to Andrew Leck from Rosehill, KS. Thanks so much for your partnership in the Gospel. Your generosity is much appreciated. Paul thinks it is incomprehensible that believers would return to their weak and worthless ways. He cannot understand how they would go back to their old patterns and practices after knowing God and being known by him. He states it's as illogical as a slave who is freed, given sonship, and extended riches, and then returns to his former slavery. Even though this return is idiotic, we all know this is possible given the right amount of social pressure. This is because our social environments play a significant role in what we believe. Constant exposure to the same ideas, images, and messages will affect us. For example, if you are a recovering addict who is only spending time with other users, there's a pressure to conform that will eventually trigger those old patterns. Or, if you are working in corporate America and are constantly being conditioned by ideologies, agendas, training, and planned programs that you are forced to celebrate and promote, even though they are opposed to your faith, you will eventually buy into them. Eventually, you will be influenced by those around you. You can only hold the line so long before their attitudes and behaviors sway you. Immersing yourself in social environments where ungodly principles are celebrated and taught makes it increasingly challenging to resist their influence. The constant barrage of contrary messages will eventually erode your resolve and weaken your commitment to the Gospel truth. And then, you will cave, which is what the believers in the region of Galatia have done. They bought the woke lie. This is why believers need to do two things. First, we need to be in God's Word every day. We are doing that right here, renewing our minds with the Gospel Truth. Second, we need to be in the company of other believers. The influence of believers in our lives needs to proportionately outweigh the impact of unbelievers. For some, this may mean getting more involved in your local church or joining a small group. But it may also mean breaking free from some social environments and relationships affecting you. Some of you need to cut these relationships off and remove yourself from these environments. The challenge today is this: change your environment before your environment changes you. #FreedomInChrist #ResistThePull #RenewYourMind #ChooseYourInfluence #GuardYourHeart ASK THIS: How can you intentionally prioritize spending time in environments that strengthen your faith and resist those that weaken it? Reflect on any social circles or relationships in your life that may be subtly influencing you away from your commitment to the Gospel. What steps can you take to change your environment to align more closely with God's truth? DO THIS: Change your environment in some small way. PRAY THIS: Father, help me to remain steadfast in Your truth and resist the pull of worldly influences. Guide me in choosing environments and relationships that strengthen my faith and honor You. Amen. PLAY THIS: Changed.

Gotta admit: This was fun! Tina Nguyen, national correspondent for Puck and author of THE MAGA DIARIES, gives us an inside look at the complexities within the right-wing movement, Trump's influence, the dynamics at play in today's Republican party and her behind-the-scenes perspective at different political events (yes, those events). She also talks about what it was like to write this book and her approach to handling social media and online interactions. Oh, and Corey couldn't help asking Tina about working for Tucker Carlson, the influence he wields and how she views him today. Tina's so candid about the worlds she's navigated, whether it's the conservative movement on campuses, the siloed ecosystem of right-wing media and even fringe ideas like the Convention of States initiative. It was also good to hear how Tina found a foothold beyond those early experiences and into other publications like Vanity Fair, Mediaite, Politico and now Puck.   00:05 Introduction to Tina Nguyen;  04:43 Understanding the Dynamics of the Activist Right;  14:35 The Influence of Media on Politics;  21:52 The Impact of Tucker Carlson on American Discourse;  31:25 Reflecting on Personal and Professional Trajectories;  38:59 Influence and Social Pressure in DC;  41:10 The Consequences of Speaking Out;  46:07 The Importance of Relationships in Career Development;  48:40 The Challenges of Social Media and Public Perception;  53:55 The Threat of the Convention of States   It would mean so much if you could leave us a review on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/TPandRPod   Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other is part of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what's broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it.   Please support our sponsor Meza Wealth Management: www.mezawealth.com   You can find Corey on all the socials @coreysnathan such as www.threads.net/@coreysnathan.   www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-MAGA-Diaries/Tina-Nguyen/9781982189693   puck.news/author/tina-nguyen/

In this Bible Story, we learn about the faithful reign of King Uzziah. Although he does not finish well, the majority of his life was spent under the wisdom and guidance of God. He fortifies Judah, and protects them from harm. Then, his son Jotham follows by restoring Israel back to a loving relationship with God. This story is inspired by 2 Chronicles 26-27 & 2 Kings 15:1-7, 32-38. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Chronicles 26:18 from the King James Version.Episode 146: Ahaz son of Jotham did not share his father's will to follow God, instead, he followed evil. He followed the footsteps of the kings of Israel and the wickedness of their neighbors. He even killed his own children as a sacrifice to foreign gods. God would not tolerate this and so he sent the armies of Aram and Israel to raid them and take captive their men. But even in this punishment, God had a plan to protect those who were innocent and to remove those who led them astray.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.
