Sometimes it means you're carrying fear, shame, anxiety, resentment, or the constant need to prove yourself and you've been hauling it so long it feels normal. We sit with Jesus' words in Matthew 11:28–30 and ask one uncomfortable, freeing question: did Jesus actually ask me to carry this? When the answer is no, we talk about what it looks like to lay it down, pick it up again, and lay it down again until a new pattern forms. Then we go to the part we usually rush past: “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me.” We explore why Jesus starts with relationship before responsibility, why rest comes before learning, and why he isn't piling a fresh list of religious tasks onto your back. The conversation turns to the real “burden of Christ” and why it can be both a burden and light at the same time. The turning point is the heart of Jesus: compassion that moves outward, mercy that restores relationship, and love that gives faces to burdens we used to treat like abstract problems. When love becomes the motive, sacrifice doesn't vanish but it changes shape, and joy starts showing up where obligation used to rule. If you've been longing for soul rest, this is a path you can actually practice this week. Subscribe, share this with a friend who feels worn out, and leave a review with the one burden you're choosing to lay down today.Support the showwww.Turning180.com

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Burnout has a way of feeling holy when you've called it “responsibility” for long enough. We open Matthew 11:28-30 and get painfully honest about the hidden loads we drag around every day: fear, shame, anxiety, bitterness, resentment, grief, people-pleasing, and the constant need to prove ourselves. Then we put one simple question on the table that can change a week fast: “Did Jesus ask me to carry this?” When the answer is no, we learn how to lay it down, and how to lay it down again when it crawls back onto our shoulders.From there, we go deeper than the promise of rest. Jesus doesn't stop at “I will give you rest” for your tired body and mind. He says, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,” and we explore why that order matters: relationship before responsibility, belonging before participation, rest before work. The surprising turn is that Jesus isn't handing us another exhausting to-do list. He's inviting us into a different way of living where the “yoke” is carrying His heart, shaped by compassion, mercy, and love.We also wrestle with the big question: how can Jesus say His burden is light when His life includes the cross? The answer we discover is that love changes what a burden feels like, and love gives faces to needs. A story from Malawi makes it real: a well stops being a project on a list and becomes mothers, children, and changed lives.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Some exhaustion isn't about a busy calendar. It's about what you're carrying when no one can see it. We open with Matthew 11:28-30 and sit with Jesus's promise of “rest for your souls” while getting honest about the hidden loads so many of us drag around: anxiety that never quiets down, shame that won't let you lift your head, bitterness that feels protective, grief that lingers, people-pleasing that looks like love, perfectionism that pretends to be excellence, and the relentless pressure to prove you're worth keeping. We walk through a key shift that changes how you hear this passage: Jesus doesn't start by handing weary people another assignment. He starts with compassion. “Come to me” comes before “learn from me,” and rest comes before any talk of a yoke. If you've ever felt like Christianity is just one more box stacked on already-full arms, this reframes discipleship as release not overload and grace not grit. Then we get practical. We offer one clarifying question to use all week: “Did Jesus ask me to carry this?” When anxiety rises, when shame returns, when the urge to control outcomes hits, we practice pausing, praying, and placing that weight before Christ. We even use a simple written reminder to help resist picking old burdens back up.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Your life can look perfectly fine while your soul feels like it is dragging something heavy behind it. We open Matthew 11:28–30 and sit with Jesus' invitation to the weary, the anxious, the ashamed, and the burned out: “Come to me… and I will give you rest.” What hit us hardest is the order Jesus uses. He does not begin with a demand to try harder, prove more, or become more disciplined. He begins with mercy, and he offers rest before anything else.We talk honestly about the invisible burdens people carry every day: anxiety that never quiets down, depression that hangs like fog, addictions, grief, loneliness, resentment, regret, fear of tomorrow, childhood wounds, and the crushing need for approval. We also name how these burdens hide behind respectable labels. Anxiety can feel like “being responsible.” Perfectionism can pose as excellence. Codependency can pretend to be love. Shame can claim you deserve to carry the weight forever. Over time, what started as an unwanted guest can become an identity.Then we get practical. One simple question changes the moment a burden lands on your shoulders: “Did Jesus ask me to carry this?” We explain why rest can feel risky, why we keep picking burdens back up because they are familiar, and how open hands become the start of faith. You will also hear a concrete weekly practice using a card to identify what is weighing you down and choose again and again to lay it down in prayer.If you know the feeling of being overloaded, this is a roadmap toward Christian rest, spiritual freedom, and a lighter way to live.

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!In this episode, Bryan Boorstein is back on the podcast for another great conversation about training, recovery, cardio and hypertrophy. We discuss how Bryan uses recovery metrics like resting heart rate and HRV to monitor readiness and why long-term trends matter more than focusing on any single data point. We also get into his current training approach, including his transition away from full-body training, the upper/lower split he is using, and the 15-10-5 protocol that allows him to create a strong training stimulus while managing fatigue. If you want to train more efficiently and better balance lifting, cardio, and recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Let's talk about:00:00 Introduction02:16 Catching Up With Bryan04:24 Using HRV and Resting Heart Rate to Track Recovery10:50 How to Look at HRV Data14:46 Bryan's Current Training Approach16:57 The 15-10-5 Training Protocol20:08 Making Training More Efficient21:00 Mechanical Tension and Exercise Execution23:28 Pyramid vs. Reverse Pyramid Training24:54 How Bryan Progresses the 15-10-5 Method27:09 How Rep Ranges Change Exercise Execution31:33 Bryan's Cardio Training Approach34:24 Why Cardio Progression Is Different Than Weight Training37:29 Training in the Heat38:38 Bryan's TRT Update44:20 Changes in Resting Heart Rate After TRT45:40 Exercise Selection and Stimulus-to-Fatigue Ratio46:35 Why More Range of Motion Isn't Always Better49:09 The 45-Degree Hip Extension52:29 Where to Find Bryan and His Current ProjectsFollow Bryan on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/bryanboorstein/Follow me on Instagram for more information and education:https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/?hl=enHow You Can Work With Me?: https://jhhealth.net/workwithme/Coaching application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfE-99wLDZRXlOOY1pWuAmkogdZOm-7ZvN_thbqNWLdNrj5bg/viewformBody Recomp Checklist 2.0: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/26b5c9f94a

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. The hardest part of faith isn't learning new ideas, it's letting God rewire our default setting from me to us. We open Philippians 2 and face a painfully honest question: if God does his greatest work through a people, what keeps us from becoming that people? The answer isn't mainly external pressure, bad circumstances, or a lack of resources. It's the subtle, everyday pull of selfish ambition and conceit, the quiet habits that make our preferences, our schedule, and our rights the center of the story.We talk about why real Christian unity is not uniformity. Paul doesn't call the church to become identical; he calls us to move in the same direction under the same Lord. Along the way, we share a perspective-shifting story from Malawi and Mozambique where “help” shows up instantly and collectively, even from strangers with almost nothing to spare. That contrast challenges how easily we ask, “What works best for me?” instead of the question that can heal a home, a friendship, or a congregation: “What strengthens us?”Then we look at Jesus, the one who had every right to be served yet chose the towel, the cross, and the path of surrender. The cross doesn't only reconcile individuals to God; it creates one family, breaking hostility and turning strangers into brothers and sisters. That reality comes into sharp focus at communion, where personal repentance meets corporate identity and we're invited to embrace the people Jesus died to create.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. The biggest threat to your church, your marriage, and your friendships is rarely a lack of resources. It is the quiet, constant return to me first. We open Philippians 2:1–8 and name “the greatest obstacle” with uncomfortable clarity: selfish ambition and conceit, the subtle habits that make our preferences feel like principles and our rights feel like the whole story.We talk about why God almost never leaves people as isolated individuals, and why the kingdom keeps calling us to lift our eyes toward family, neighbors, the hurting, and the lonely. Along the way, we reflect on Independence Day and the tension of loving our nation while giving our first allegiance to a bigger kingdom. We also bring home a story from Malawi, where strangers treat another person's problem like a shared responsibility, and it challenges the way we ask questions about mission, ministry, and daily life.Paul's answer is not a new strategy. He points us to Jesus. The mind of Christ looks like humility, surrender, and love that moves toward others. The cross does more than forgive sin; it reconciles us to one another and creates a people no organization can manufacture.

In Part 2 of a two-part episode, Dr. Rob Orman joins Dr. Andrea Austin to discuss the profound changes in emergency medicine, the importance of intentional joy, and powerful coaching frameworks that help physicians navigate reactivity and complexity. Rob shares a powerful passage from his book Supernormal about the Drama Triangle, discusses career ownership versus renting, and offers insights on redesigning medical education with mindfulness and awareness at the center. This episode is filled with immediately applicable tools for clinicians, leaders, and anyone seeking to create space in high-stakes moments. They discussed: How emergency medicine has changed profoundly since COVID Finding and creating joy in medicine through intentional practices Owning vs. renting your career The Drama Triangle and staying “above the line” Cognitive empathy and declining invitations to drama Powerful reset phrases: “Good.” and “I wish it wasn't this way, but it is this way.” Redesigning medical education with meditation and listening skills Coaching tools that translate from one-on-one sessions to clinical practice

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. The word “mine” comes naturally. “Help” and “we” usually take longer. On Father's Day, we sit with a simple, disruptive truth: some things are beyond me, but they are not beyond us and what is beyond us is certainly not beyond God. That idea is not sentimental, it is deeply biblical, and it pushes back on the modern myth that mature people handle everything alone.We start with Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 and the clear wisdom of shared strength: someone to lift you up, warm you, protect you, and hold the line when life hits hard. Then we move into 1 Peter 2:9-10, where Peter speaks to pressured believers and calls them a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own special people. That is not individualistic spirituality. That is identity shaped by belonging, church community, and spiritual family.We get practical about where isolation shows up and why the enemy loves it: discouragement grows, perspective warps, and we start believing nobody cares. Parenting, marriage, grief, hardship, and even mission are often too heavy for one set of shoulders, but they become possible when the body of Christ chooses connection, accountability, encouragement, and shared service.If you've been trying to live as an “I” while God keeps inviting you into a “we,” press play.

If you've been trying to carry life like it's a solo sport, this message confronts the myth of self-sufficiency with something better: belonging. Starting with Father's Day, we name a truth every parent recognizes. Kids learn “mine” fast, and nobody has to coach them into selfishness. The real work of formation is helping a child, and every adult, move from me to we. We walk through Ecclesiastes 4: “Two are better than one,” not because the individual has no value, but because isolated living is fragile. God's design has always been relational. Before sin ever entered the story, God said something was “not good”: aloneness. That matters in a culture that celebrates independence, fences, and private struggles, because Scripture keeps calling us back to connection, partnership, and shared strength. Then we anchor the theme in 1 Peter 2:9–10, where Peter speaks to believers under oppression and gives them collective identity language: chosen generation, royal priesthood, holy nation, God's special people. We explore why the church is meant to be a family, not a room full of strangers, and why spiritual growth, endurance, and mission often happen through an us. We also get practical about the burdens that feel too heavy alone: parenting, marriage, grief, hardship, and serving our community. If you're ready to stop living as an “I” when God is inviting you into a “we,” listen all the way through and take the closing questions seriously.

We have covered volume a handful of times on the podcast — ETP#167 (Personalizing Your Training Volume), ETP#188 (Quality Volume), and most recently ETP#207 (The Training Volume Model). This one comes at it from a different angle: not "what's the right number of sets," but how that number can change over a training career as skill as a lifter improves.The whole thing started with Aaron's quads. They used to be the body part he was almost ashamed of, and now they're on par with everything else. Except he only trains them once a week, six sets, and they're in shambles for five or six days afterward. That low a dose creating that much stimulus had Aaron questioning a lot of things, mainly: what actually makes a lagging body part lag? Is it genetics, or is it that you just haven't figured out how to contract the muscle well enough yet? Aaron's honest belief is leaning hard toward the second one.So we get into the precision side of volume. Why a row isn't always a 1.0 stimulus, why your weak points might not need more sets so much as better execution, how strength curves explain why back and delts get buried under volume while quads light up off almost nothing, and how to actually manipulate all of this with rep ranges and resistance profiles. Plus some personal updates up top, including one of Aaron's that went unexpectedly viral.Covered in this episode:Why volume needs can drop as your precision and skill improve, and the asterisk on "more volume is better until it isn't"Aaron's theory that lagging body parts lag because you haven't learned to contract them well — not because of geneticsThe Kyle Baxter pronation/foot-pressure cue that finally unlocked Aaron's quadsWhy quads hold post-workout stimulus for days when nothing else does (blood flow, lengthened overload, and the fact that we walk on our legs)Strength curve vs resistance curve, and why short-overloaded muscles like delts and back need more volume to reach the same inroadsThe leaning lateral raise trick — disadvantaging your own bad habit to force a better stimulusUsing the 15/10/5 rep scheme to go short on the high-rep sets and lengthened on the low-rep setsPrioritization: deprioritize what's already good and pour the days into what you actually want to bring upHamstrings/biceps vs quads/triceps, the cramp problem, and why some muscles just don't follow the same rulesTimestamps: 00:00 Intro: How Much Is Enough? + The Prior Volume Episodes 01:00 Bryan's Update: 15/10/5 and Why Full Body Is "For the Birds" 03:00 Aaron's Personal Update + The Post That Went Viral 05:00 The 1989 LA Raiders Mug 06:00 The Real Topic: Volume Dose Response Per Muscle Group 07:00 Can Precision Change Your Volume Needs? 08:00 Aaron's Quads: From Lagging to Wrecked on Six Sets 09:00 What Actually Makes a Lagging Body Part? 10:00 Lengthened Overload and Leaning Into the Stretch 12:00 Squat Variables: Stance, Knee Tracking, Foot Pressure 13:00 The Kyle Baxter Pronation Cue 15:00 Aaron's Current Quad Setup (Leg Extension + Squat Pattern) 17:00 Six Sets, Shattered for Days + Repeated Bout Effect 21:00 The Post-Workout Stimulus Window: Quads vs Everything Else 22:00 Double the Chest Volume, Lower the Stimulus 23:00 The "Washing Your Hair" Delt Test 24:00 Splitting Volume vs One Big Day 25:00 Aaron's Theory: Lagging = Not Contracting Well Yet 27:00 The Leaning Lateral Raise (Disadvantaging the Shrug) 29:00 Strength Curve vs Resistance Curve 30:00 Why Beginners Can't Feel Their Legs 31:00 Blood Flow, Bro Splits, and Dispersed Stimulus 33:00 Prioritizing: Deprioritize What's Already Good 34:00 Building a Program Around Your Weak Points 35:00 Aaron's Back Days: High Volume, Still Can't Feel It 37:00 Why Back and Delts Need More Volume 38:00 Manipulating Resistance Profiles Across a Whole Day 39:00 The 15/10/5: Short on the Highs, Lengthened on the Lows 41:00 The Asterisk on "More Volume Is Better" 42:00 A Row Isn't Always a 1.0 Stimulus 43:00 Finding the Rep Range Before Weight Takes Over 44:00 Pausing in the Short Position to Build the Pattern 47:00 Hamstrings, Biceps, and the Cramp Problem 49:00 Biceps Femoris: Pullers vs Pushers 50:00 Why Quads Are Just Different Post-Workout 52:00 Closing: Training Maturity and Looking Inward Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media  ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

What happens when a lifelong emergency physician steps back from clinical practice and dedicates himself to helping other doctors navigate the impossible job of medicine?  In Part 1 of a two-part episode, Dr. Rob Orman joins Dr. Andrea Austin to share his remarkable path, from documenting mass casualty events to becoming a technical advisor for the hit HBO series The Pit, and ultimately building a coaching practice that helps physicians create meaningful change in their behavior and careers. Together they discuss the importance of awareness, the space between stimulus and response, cognitive empathy, and why art and storytelling may be powerful vehicles for transforming healthcare. Rob also opens up about his own career struggles and the deep fulfillment he finds in one-on-one behavioral coaching. They discussed: How documenting mass casualty events led to advising on The Pit The career shift from full-time clinician and educator to physician coach Why “not everyone thinks like you do”, and the power of cognitive empathy Building awareness and creating the pause between stimulus and response Behavioral coaching for physicians on performance plans or struggling with reactivity The role of storytelling and art in driving healthcare change Lessons from burnout, skill decay, and career transitions

In today's episode of The Recovered Dad Podcast, we explore the power of the pause, the brief moment between a trigger and your reaction, and how it can transform your recovery, your fatherhood, and your relationships. We share a real life story of almost losing a Google account to a sophisticated scam, and how recovery practices helped us step back, process emotions, and respond wisely instead of reacting from fear. This conversation dives into emotional awareness, managing triggers, and using recovery tools to break patterns that lead to reaching for porn. We discuss how the same skills that protect our digital life also strengthen our capacity as fathers, husbands, and men. Top Show Highlights: [00:00] Welcome back and introduction to today's focus on the pause between stimulus and response. [01:30] Story of a scam call and attempted Google account hack, demonstrating the power of emotional pause. [06:00] Recognizing the story your mind tells when emotions are high and how to separate perception from reality. [09:00] How the old habit of reaching for porn as a coping mechanism is similar to reacting without pause. [12:00] Learning to build the recovery "muscle" to sit with emotional discomfort without reacting. [15:00] Applying the pause in real life from emotional flare ups with teenagers to stressful business moments. [17:30] The pause allows us to choose healthy actions like walks, rest, connection, or intentional response instead of escape. [19:00] How these practices improve fatherhood and relationships with children and spouses. [21:00] Recovery as a lifestyle and the cascading effects of emotional awareness across every area of life. [23:00] Encouragement to observe your triggers, pause, and respond with clarity instead of automatic reaction.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Chains and tribulations are not the kind of forecast most of us want, yet Paul walks straight toward Jerusalem with a clear aim: finish the race with joy and stay faithful to the ministry Jesus gives. We sit with Acts 20:22–24 and ask what it looks like to “lead your life” as a disciple who takes responsibility for direction, choices, and endurance instead of drifting with fear, comfort, distraction, or culture.From there, we get painfully practical: vision must move. We talk about the difference between saying we are “waiting on God” and actually resisting change, and we name the quiet killer that can look spiritual on the outside: stagnation. You will hear the line that keeps echoing through the message, “Obedience opens doors, stagnation never will,” along with a challenge to stop demanding a full blueprint before taking a faithful step. Courage is not the absence of fear; courage is movement despite uncertainty, so sometimes the most honest next step is simple: do it afraid.A story about learning to drive brings the point home: you cannot steer a parked car, and you cannot steer a parked calling. Then Acts 8 turns into a case study in active faith as Philip obeys God's small direction down a desert road and discovers the real assignment while he is moving. We close by widening the lens to mission, outreach, and serving, because people matter to God and our yes can ripple further than we will ever see.If this challenged you, subscribe, share this with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a review.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Chains and tribulations were waiting for Paul and he still moved forward, not because he loved suffering, but because he refused to live small. That moment in Acts 20 sets up a challenging idea: many of us are not held back by failure, we are held back by comfort. We talk about what it means to “zoom out” and see our lives the way God sees them, with purpose, mission, and a long horizon that stretches beyond our own preferences.We use a simple camera metaphor to get practical about Christian discipleship and spiritual formation. When we live zoomed in, church turns into a consumer choice, prayers shrink to personal maintenance, and faith becomes a tool for convenience. Kingdom vision asks better questions: What does God want through my life? Who is waiting on my yes? What kind of life is actually worth giving my life to? Along the way, we name the fear-driven culture of self-protection and contrast it with the bigger biblical story of Abram, Moses, Esther, and Paul, where obedience creates ripple effects that outlive the moment.This also gets specific about daily leadership: choosing excellence when culture normalises minimum standards, thinking in terms of legacy and multiplication, and treating time, money, relationships, and service as resources for the kingdom of God. We end close to home with spiritual leadership in the family and the power of ordinary obedience repeated over time.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Chains, tribulation, uncertainty, and still Paul says yes. We start with Acts 20 and sit with a question that refuses to stay theoretical: what do we do when following Jesus costs us comfort, control, and a carefully protected life? We're talking about kingdom vision, not as a slogan, but as a way of seeing that changes what we ask for, what we pray for, and what we're willing to endure.We use a simple camera zoom image to expose a common pattern: living zoomed in on preference, safety, and personal fulfilment. That mindset easily turns church into a consumer choice and faith into comfort maintenance. When we stay self-focused, our prayers get smaller, our risk tolerance disappears, and our impact fades. Kingdom vision does the opposite. It pushes us to zoom out, to ask what God wants to do through our lives, and to recognise that Scripture constantly ties one surrendered “yes” to the wellbeing of others, from Abraham and Moses to Esther and Paul.Then we bring it all down to street level with practical discipleship: integrity at work, excellence when nobody requires it, serving with intention, and leading at home with honesty and courage. We talk about how spiritual leadership is happening either way and why ordinary obedience repeated over time can echo for generations. If you've felt the nagging thought “there has to be more than survival,” this is your invitation to see the bigger picture.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Your life might already be the calling you keep asking God to reveal. We build this message around “recognition” and “commission” not as a launch into something flashy, but as a clear-eyed realization that God has already placed influence in your hands through relationships, responsibilities, and everyday opportunities. Drawing from Acts 20, we talk about finishing our race with joy, even when obedience costs something, and why “none of these things move me” is a mindset worth chasing. From there we get painfully practical: Colossians 3:17 and 3:23 give us a simple rhythm for Christian living, whatever you do, do it in the name of Jesus and do it wholeheartedly unto God. That turns workplace ministry, family life, and hidden service into real kingdom work. We push back on the church myth that only pastors, missionaries, or platform people are “called,” and we ask the better question: not “Do I have influence?” but “How am I stewarding it?” We talk about parenting as discipleship, marriage as ministry, and friendship as stewardship of grace, including a moving story from driving a city school bus that shows how deeply kids recognize love and respond to steady care. We also hold the tension between global mission and local faithfulness, because the mission of God is both. If you're ready to stop waiting for a “big calling” and start treating ordinary faithfulness as holy, listen through to the commissioning invitation.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. Waiting for a giant, dramatic calling can feel spiritual, but it can also keep us passive. We sit on our hands, hoping for a microphone, a title, or a once-in-a-lifetime assignment while the holiest work of our lives is already happening at the dinner table, in a marriage, on a job site, in a classroom, or in a simple conversation with a friend who is barely holding on. We explore a different way to think about calling: commission as recognition, the Spirit opening our eyes to what God has already entrusted to us. We ground that shift in Scripture and in a deeply practical theology of everyday discipleship. Colossians tells us that whatever we do can be done in the name of Jesus and unto the Lord, which breaks the false line between sacred and secular. If we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, then God's presence moves with us. That means workplace ministry is real, parenting is kingdom stewardship, friendship can carry healing, and marriage can become a visible testimony of grace through forgiveness and sacrificial love. We also talk about why heaven values faithfulness more than fame, and why ordinary obedience often becomes the loudest sermon. Near the end, we ask pointed questions that make this personal: where has God already entrusted you with influence, what “ordinary” assignment have you underestimated, and what could change if you lived like God can show up at any moment.

The Space Between Stimulus and Response

What happens in the space between a trigger and your reaction? That gap — the one most people don't even know exists — is where everything changes. In this special episode, Will and Jon break down the concept live during the Awareness to Action (A2A) course launch webinar, walk the audience through a real-time breathwork exercise to experience the gap firsthand, and explain how training this skill can transform the way you lead, parent, and show up in every relationship.Whether you're a maxed-out leader running on fumes, someone searching for a change that actually sticks, or just going through a hard season, this one's for you.Sign up for the Awareness to Action (A2A) course: https://focusnowtraining.com/A2A-course Or text MTM to 33777Hosted on Ausha.

The Practice of Finding Space Between Stimulus and Response

You know that moment when you completely overreact to something small — and even as it's happening, part of you is watching and thinking, why am I like this?That reaction has a name. And understanding it changes everything about how you see yourself under pressure.There's one thing that has to happen before you can change a stress response - and most people skip it entirely. This week's Hi-Cap Move gives you a practice that creates a gap between the trigger and your response - so you stop being hijacked by a reaction you didn't choose and start building the awareness that makes change actually possible.-->>> Register for The Capacity Audit free live workshop June 3rd 

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I explore a question that has been lingering in my mind for months: What do the pillars in tarot actually symbolize on a deeper psychological level?Using Viktor Frankl's famous quote - “Between stimulus and response there is a space…,” I reflect on how the pillars in cards like the High Priestess, Justice, the Hierophant, and even the Moon might represent more than just duality or balance. I explore the possibility that these pillars symbolize psychological thresholds or liminal spaces where uncertainty, intuition, morality, projection, fear, and meaning live.I dive into the symbolism of the flowing/airy tapestry behind the High Priestess and contrast it with the heavy, obscuring curtain behind Justice, exploring how these archetypes reflect the tension between flexibility and rigidity. Through a Jungian, somatic, and trauma-informed lens, I discuss how the body often senses something before the mind can, and before the brain can organize it into language, as well as how our desire for certainty can sometimes become a defense mechanism against our discomfort with ambiguity.From there, I turn toward the Hierophant and explore the psychological impact of inherited systems rooted in religion, morality, culture, authority, and collective meaning-making. I reflect on what happens when external structures override internal knowing, and why the space between the pillars matters so much when it comes to identity, autonomy, and self-trust.I also explain why I believe the Moon belongs in this conversation, despite its “pillars” technically being towers. For me, The Moon represents what happens behind the pillars: the unconscious terrain we enter when certainty becomes hazy and we are forced to navigate ambiguity without reassurance.Toward the end of the episode, I create a brand new three card tarot spread inspired by Frankl's quote.Pulling the Magician, Six of Pentacles, and Three of Wands, I explore themes of hyper-independence, receiving support, and what becomes possible when we stop trying to survive entirely on our own.This episode is part tarot symbolism analysis, part Jungian and therapeutic exploration, and part philosophical reflection on what exists in the space between instinct and action.Want more of this type of tarot experience?Join us at the Summer Solstice Summit - a three day, virtual tarot conference June 26-28.

The phone calls could be harsh. Daniel Freedman talked to a lot of shop owners. They told him anthologies didn't sell. He explained that Stimulus was not an anthology; it was a short story collection. They continued to express cynicism. He went ahead and assembled an astonishing array of stories, galloping through numerous tones and showcasing an awesome stable of collaborators. Stimulus flaunts the heights that this medium can soar, and obliterates house style tastes. It's on those LCS shelves now. Here's your chance to prove the glass-half-empty folks that audiences crave structures free from corporate designs. The comics in Stimulus should have your mouth watering. They're science fiction and fantasy slanted idea outburts illustrated by - hold your breath - Robert Sammelin (Kali), Tomm Coker (Black Monday Murders), Filya Bratukhin(Nature's Labyrinth), Amilcar Pina (Galactic), Dilraj Mann (Dalstron Monsterzz), Lorenzo Nuti (Dragonero/Conan), Arianna Farricella (College Apocalypse), Gavin Dias (PENTHOUSE Comics), Debbie Tsoi (Split Fiction), Stefano Realdini (Captain Gaia), Dan Morison (HELL-BENT), and Henrik Sahlstrom (Mirror's Edge: Exordium). This week, we had a blast chatting with Daniel Freedman about Stimulus. The short story collection spans more than ten years of his life, and each tale explores Freedman working himself out as well as the world he finds himself trapped in. We discuss the autobiographic nature of all storytelling, the power of a short story collection, and why comics allow him to create where other mediums do not. And before all that, our kid on the beat cub reporter, Brad, regales Lisa with his journey to the Lower East Side and the Jack Kirby Way street-naming ceremony on May 11th. He discusses what and who he saw on Essex Street and even offers audio recordings of Jack Kirby Way presenters Roy Schwartz, NYC Council Member Christopher Marte, Tom Brevoort, Paul Levitz, and Jim Steranko. The King of Comics finally getting his name on an NYC street is a historic moment. Let's all celebrate as comic book readers. Stimulus is out now in trade paperback from Dark Horse Comics.

One concept. That's all we're covering today. And if you only took one thing from 260-plus episodes of this show... it might be this.Viktor Frankl survived the Holocaust and came out the other side with an idea that Jon and Will think about almost every day. Between what happens to you and how you respond, there's a gap. A space. And inside that space is where every good decision you've ever made actually lives.Most of us blow right past it. Something happens, we react. Email comes in, we fire back. Kid does something, we snap. No space in between.In this episode we break down why the gap exists, why nobody taught you how to use it, and four ways to start building it this week. No fluff. No theory you can't use. Just one concept you can try before your next meeting, your next hard conversation, or your next encounter with slow internet.This is the foundation of the Awareness to Action (A2A) course we've been building.

Host Erin Kerry Erin sits down with Shanna Pearson, founder of the world's largest ADHD coaching company, to unpack the hidden reality of ADHD in women—especially those who have gone undiagnosed for decades. They explore how ADHD often presents differently in women, why it's frequently misdiagnosed as anxiety or depression, and how hormonal changes in perimenopause can intensify symptoms due to shifts in dopamine and estrogen levels. You'll learn how mental restlessness, overthinking, and emotional dysregulation are connected to brain chemistry—not personal failure—and why managing ADHD requires more than just willpower or hormone support. This conversation also dives into practical tools for managing overwhelm, improving focus, working with your natural rhythms, and creating systems that actually work for the ADHD brain. If you've ever felt scattered, overstimulated, or stuck in cycles of overthinking, this episode will help you understand what's really going on—and what to do next. Key Topics: - How ADHD shows up differently in women - Misdiagnosis: ADHD vs anxiety and depression - Dopamine, estrogen, and perimenopause - Mental restlessness and overthinking cycles - Emotional dysregulation and low dopamine - Stimulus-seeking behaviors (doom scrolling, distraction) - Time management and working with your energy rhythms - Sleep, ADHD medication, and nervous system impact - Practical systems for email, tasks, and home overwhelm - Why ADHD management is skill-based—not just hormonal Links Mentioned: Website: adhdcoaching.com Book: Invisible ADHD Join Erin's monthly mailing list to get health tips and fresh meal plans and recipes every month: https://mailchi.mp/adde1b3a4af3/monthlysparksignup Order Erin's new book, Live Beyond Your Label, at erinbkerry.com/upcomingbook/

The topic of matchmaking agencies, now often calling themselves "matchmakers," Michael is critical of their approach. He highlights that most matchmakers are women who prioritize money as the main attribute when pairing men and women, which leads to transactional relationships, undermining genuine desire. He insists that leading with money makes it impossible to generate authentic attraction. This transactional nature blurs the lines between matchmaking and escort services, with some escorts reportedly using matchmakers as a softer version of prostitution.   00:00 - Navigating Modern Dating Challenges and "Shielding" from Stimulus 03:21 - The Reality of Modern Matchmaking and the Failure of Financial Leading 07:44 - The "Male Upgrade Struggle" vs. the "Female Glow Up" 11:47 - The Limitation of Dating Advice from Different Lived Experiences 14:55 - The Universal Male Struggle and Global Community Diversity 17:26 - Insights from Club Promotion: Social Proof and Pre-Selection 20:08 - Data vs. Perspective: Why You Shouldn't Ask Women for Dating Advice 21:42 - Proven Studies on Attraction: The Cheerleader Effect and Female Approval 24:45 - Building Social Circles and the Importance of High-Status Networking 38:12 - High-Value Lifestyles: Impact of Personal Branding and Aesthetics 52:30 - Overcoming Limiting Beliefs and the Psychology of Success 01:05:15 - Strategic Networking: How to Enter Elite Social Circles 01:22:40 - The Long-Term Impact of Self-Improvement and Community Support 01:30:31 - Final Thoughts and Episode Wrap-Up ————————————————————

Your brain is aging faster than it should, and most of the decline is self-inflicted. Neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood reveals the exact mechanisms driving cognitive decay, and the biohacking strategies backed by hard science that can stop it, reverse it, and future-proof your brain at any age. -Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Tommy Wood, one of the most credentialed minds working at the intersection of brain optimization, human performance, and longevity. Dr. Wood holds a medical degree from the University of Oxford, a PhD in physiology and neuroscience from the University of Oslo, and serves as Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Neuroscience at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He has published over 100 scientific papers, consulted with Olympians and world champions across more than a dozen sports, and worked directly with Formula 1 drivers to sustain elite focus and reaction time at 200 miles per hour. His forthcoming book, The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age, is the culmination of decades of research and real-world application. Together, Dave and Dr. Wood dismantle the myth that cognitive decline is inevitable, exposing how societal expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies and how the tools of biohacking, including sleep optimization, neuroplasticity training, nootropics, supplements, and strategic exercise, can dramatically shift your brain's long-term trajectory. They dig into the 3S Model of brain health (Stimulus, Supply, Support), the Yerkes-Dodson arousal curve and what it means for focus and flow states, and the surprising truth about AI, boredom, and what actually happens to your brain when you let ChatGPT do your thinking for you. This episode is essential listening for anyone serious about anti-aging, brain optimization, functional medicine, metabolism, human performance, and getting smarter without working harder. You'll Learn: Why cognitive decline is largely a self-fulfilling prophecy driven by expectation, not biology How the 3S Model (Stimulus, Supply, Support) determines your brain's long-term health and resilience What Formula 1 drivers teach us about arousal, flow states, and peak cognitive performance Why high-intensity interval training produces dramatically greater neuroplasticity benefits than Zone 2 cardio alone How creatine, nicotine, nootropics, and other supplements actually affect the aging brain The real data on alcohol, dementia risk, and what "occasional drinking" actually means scientifically How to use AI tools like ChatGPT in a way that builds brain function instead of destroying it Why boredom is a neurological necessity and how chronic low-level stimulation is quietly eroding your cognition What mitochondria and lactate signaling have to do with BDNF and long-term memory How resistance training, coordinative movement, and blood flow restriction each deliver separate and distinct cognitive benefits Thank you to our sponsors! - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Neuronic | Go to www.neuronic.online Code DAVE for $100 off - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.comand use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - Suppgrade Labs | Grab your DAKE and Minerals 101 duo at shopsuppgradelabs.com and use code DAVEPOD for 15% off today Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Tamny critiques the federal government's "command economy" response, specifically the trillions of dollars in stimulus and the Payroll Protection Program. He argues that consumption does not drive growth — investment does — and that by "hoovering up" capital from those most capable of investing and redistributing it to consumers, the government delayed natural economic recovery. The PPP propped up "the past" and prevented the necessary "creative destruction" that allows a dynamic economy to evolve. Tamny ultimately advocates for freedom as the only sustainable answer to future crises, noting that private enterprise — not government mandates — produced the vaccines in record time.

Deputy Editor Francis Marchlinski hosts a deep‑dive discussion on the study "Functional Conduction Block During Extra‑Stimulus Mapping Masks Deceleration Zones and Reveals Additional VT Substrate." In this episode, Dr. Marchlinski explores how extra‑stimulus pacing can alter the visualization of critical conduction deceleration zones and uncover previously hidden components of the ventricular tachycardia substrate. He breaks down the clinical implications of these dynamic changes and what they mean for improving VT mapping and ablation strategies.

Welcome to another short but empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week... Today, we explore Viktor Frankl’s powerful reminder that between what happens to us and how we respond, there is a space where our power, growth and freedom live: 'Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.' Three key takeaways: Why the pause between stimulus and response is one of the most powerful tools you have in everyday life How to respond with greater intention when life feels overwhelming, uncertain or emotionally charged A simple practice to help you move from reacting on autopilot to choosing with calm, grace and self-leadership Listen in and discover how one conscious breath can help you respond in a way that moves you closer to living your dream life, whatever that means to you. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. Have a wonderful week …and remember, it all starts with a dream

React made a lot of us feel powerful, then maintenance made a lot of us feel tired. Drew Bragg sits down with Delaney Gillilan, creator of Datastar, to argue for a different kind of “modern web” one that keeps the browser's strengths front and center and keeps your app logic where it belongs: on the server. If you've ever looked at your dependency graph and wondered how you got here, this conversation is a reset.We get concrete about what Datastar is and how it works: a tiny reactive framework built around HTML, data attributes, and signals, with a plugin system that stays out of the way. Delaney explains why most state should live on the backend, why duplicating validation and business rules in the client is wasted effort, and why hypermedia is still the simplest way to communicate what a user can do next. We also unpack the “send strings to the browser” philosophy and how that changes performance, complexity, and even team collaboration.Real-time is where it gets spicy. Delaney makes the case for Server-Sent Events (SSE) over WebSockets for many apps, leaning on normal HTTP semantics, built-in reconnects, and streaming compression to ship tiny DOM diffs efficiently. From there we talk CQRS as a mental model for command intent vs view updates, plus what this means for Ruby on Rails developers weighing Hotwire, Stimulus, and upgrades. We close with two bold companion projects: Rocket, which makes Web Components more declarative, and Stellar, a Tailwind alternative that uses parametric CSS variables for a modern design system workflow.If you enjoy deep technical takes on reactive UI, server-driven rendering, SSE, Rails, and modern CSS, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who's stuck in SPA fatigue, and leave a review with the part you disagreed with most.Send us some love.JudoscaleAutoscaling that actually works.

In 2025 Dominique needed to take some time off over the summer. I went ahead and did a series of interviews, including one with Dr Claire St Peter and Dr Carol Pilgrim, episodes 349 to 351. We were talking about stimulus control. Those episodes aired in the fall. The episode you're about to listen to was supposed to air back in the fall as well, but somehow it fell between the cracks and we moved on with other interviews instead. We talked with Dr. Stephanie Jones, Sofia Abuin and Lucy Butler about control, coercion and empathy. After that, in the run-up to the Clicker Expo we did an interview with Chirag Patel. And now finally here's Part One of a three part conversation that Dominique and I had after Dominique listened to the interview with Dr Pilgrim and Dr St Peter. You might want to listen to those episodes first, but it is by no means necessary for you to have heard that conversation for you to be able to follow along here. The conversation with Dr Pulgrim and Dr St Peter sparked lots of questions for Dominique. We begin by comparing the standard instructions for teaching cues and stimulus control with the way that I prefer to teach them. The standard instructions make use of extinction. I prefer to teach behaviors in pairs. I make use of a very powerful reminder: for every exercise there is an opposite exercise you must teach to keep things in balance. The result is strong stimulus control. Another expression that I refer to frequently when we talk about cues is cues evolve out of the teaching process. The standard instructions for teaching cues distorts the handlers ability to see cues as they are evolving. We need to be noticing what our horse is noticing and this old way of teaching cues is taking us in the opposite direction. Several stories illustrate how the teaching behaviors in pairs works to generate well understood, reliable cues.

Lower tax payments shift stimulus later into 1H26 We're in the midst of tax season, and BAC data helps us track changes in refunds, payments, and the impact on spending. Refund growth is in the high single digits y/y, but lower tax payments bring total stimulus closer to the ~25% increase we had been expecting. Aditya Bhave explains how lower payments shift the timing of benefits, potentially extending the spending lift through much of the first half of 2026. There's also evidence that higher refunds and lower payments are boosting spend, with a modest inflection since early this year. Middle- and higher‑income consumers appear to benefit most. With much of the lift tied to higher SALT deductions, we examine whether SALT states such as NY, NJ, and CA are seeing stronger spending and how weather and past wildfires may be clouding the data. We finish with whether any further measures could support lower‑income consumers and what to expect from the incoming Fed Chair.    You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

Register for a live Q&A with Dr. Tommy Wood on Wednesday, March 25th.Decreased glucose uptake in the brain is often considered a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. But Dr. Tommy Wood asks whether part of that metabolic signature may reflect how little cognitive demand we place on the brain.He sits down with Dr. Dominic D'Agostino for a nuanced conversation on metabolic health and cognitive function.. Dr. Wood is a neuroscientist, neonatal brain injury researcher, and author of The Stimulated Mind.This episode follows the metabolic thread through every stage of brain health. Pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes as predictors of cognitive decline. Neurovascular coupling as the reason heart disease risk factors double as brain disease risk factors. Lactate crossing the blood-brain barrier to drive BDNF production where it actually matters. Creatine as a brain energy distributor that most people still only associate with muscle. Dr. Wood lays out his Three S Model — Stimulus, Supply, Support — and makes the case that cognitive demand drives glucose uptake into the brain the same way muscular contraction drives it into skeletal muscle.Questions Answered in This Episode:Does the brain respond to energy demand the same way skeletal muscle does?What role does creatine play in brain energy distribution, and what do the clinical trials show?Can heavy resistance training produce the same brain-relevant lactate response as HIIT?How should exercise be dosed after a concussion or traumatic brain injury?Is cognitive decline in your 50s, 60s, and 70s actually inevitable, or is that a statistical artifact?Why are pre-diabetes and metabolic syndrome among the strongest predictors of dementia?The mechanistic throughline here is demand-driven metabolism. Dr. Wood makes the case that the same principles governing glucose uptake in skeletal muscle apply to the brain — and the conversation gets into what that means for how we interpret FDG-PET data, design lifestyle interventions, and think about neurodegeneration itself.Find more at DrTommyWood.comSpecial thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit with code METABOLICLINK here✅ Troscriptions – Get 10% off your first order with code METABOLICLINK here✅ Toups and Co – Get 15% off your first order with code METABOLIC here✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor hereIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

In this episode, Dr. Tommy Woods, a neuroscientist and performance coach, shares the best practices you should follow if you want to achieve optimal brain health. He also details how how these practices are tied into your overall health. Dr. Wood introduces his 3S Model, “Stimulus, Supply, and Support,” a simple and practical way to think about how the brain adapts, performs, and stays resilient over time. You'll learn why how you use your brain is the primary driver of brain function, how cardiovascular and metabolic health influence cognition, and why sleep is where the real adaptation happens. You'll also hear powerful coaching insights on handling stress (including why you can't think yourself out of stress), practical tools to downshift when you're under pressure, and the science-backed truth that the adult brain can learn “new tricks”. And you'll also learn why mistakes (and the grace to forgive yourself and others when they occur) are so necessary for continued growth. YOU WILL LEARN: How the “Stimulus–Supply–Support” framework make “brain optimization” doable without the overwhelm. You can't “outthink” yourself out of being stressed, but you can learn effective ways to manage it. Why mistakes should be reframed as necessary and critical components to growth. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Stimulated Mind, by Dr. Tommy Wood Behave, by Robert Sapolsky The Neuroscience of You, by Chantelle Pratt NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “The 3S are stimulus, support and supply. In terms of brain function, stimulus is the most important.” — Dr. Tommy Wood “The most important thing somebody should do for their brain health is the thing that they will actually do and do it consistently.” — Dr. Tommy Wood “You don't get stronger in the gym — you get stronger when you recover. And the brain is exactly the same.” — Dr. Tommy Wood “One of the best ways to buffer stress and build our stress capacity is exercise.” — Dr. Tommy Wood “You don't know all the amazing things that can happen if you just go out into the world and you're nice to other people.” — Dr. Tommy Wood Hosted on Acast.

Jan 19, 2026 – April 15 is fast approaching, but will your 2025 tax return bring a surprise refund or a painful bill? Jim Puplava sits down with tax expert Dan Pilla to decode the new "Big Beautiful Bill"...

GHOST CITIES AND THE STIMULUS TRAP Colleague Anne Stevenson-Yang, Wild Ride. China's growth model shifted toward massive infrastructure spending, resulting in "ghost cities" and replica Western towns built to inflate GDP rather than house people. This "Potemkin culture" peaked during the 2008 Olympics, where facades were painted to impress foreigners. To counter the global financial crisis, Beijing flooded the economy with loans, fueling a real estate bubble that consumed more cement in three years than the US did in a century, creating unsustainable debt.
