If you have ever come back from Europe and thought, why do I feel BETTER over there, this episode is for you.

Here are 3 fantasy football players I can't stop thinking about. One is a must-draft, and the other two are big-name WRs to avoid. The Counselor is laying out some strong fantasy advice to help you win your leagues.

Do you think about food almost all day — what you ate, what you shouldn't have, what you really want, how to finally fix it?  I didn't realize how much space food was taking up in my brain until I started to get a handle on it.  In this episode I walk through five reasons your brain won't stop thinking about food — and a couple of them you've probably never heard before — plus the practical things that actually quieted it down for me, including one slightly ridiculous trick that worked.  If you're tired of food running in the background of every quiet moment, this one's for you.

Do you ever feel like food is constantly taking up space in your mind? Maybe you're thinking about what you ate earlier, what you should eat next, what you shouldn't eat, or whether you've been "good" enough today. Maybe you're already promising yourself that tomorrow will be different—that you'll finally get back on track. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know you're not alone. So many women spend their days mentally consumed by food, calories, body image, and the pressure to get everything right. It can feel exhausting. And the more you try to control it, the more food seems to control you. But what if freedom isn't found in thinking about food more? What if it isn't found in stricter rules, greater willpower, or trying harder to be disciplined? The truth is that real transformation begins in the mind. Scripture teaches us that lasting change happens from the inside out. When our minds are renewed with God's truth, everything else begins to change. We stop being driven by fear. We stop making decisions from guilt and shame. We stop obsessing over food and start living with greater peace, purpose, and freedom. Today, we're talking about how to stop letting food consume your thoughts and how to renew your mind with God's truth so you can develop a healthier relationship with food, your body, and ultimately with Him. Because freedom isn't just about what you're eating. It's about what you're believing. And if you're looking for additional support on your journey, I'd love to connect with you. You can email me at taraj@dietditching.com. Also, be sure to join our Facebook community, Lose Weight Live Free, where you'll find encouragement, support, and other women pursuing health without being consumed by food and body struggles.

We're unpacking what "context" really means when it comes to food. Not as a buzzword, but as a genuine framework: your overall eating patterns, your hormones and biology as a woman over 40, how food synergy and preparation change what your body actually receives, and why your stress level and nervous system state are part of the nutritional picture too.  Then we get into five real, actionable shifts to help you move out of judgment-based eating and into something that actually feels like yours. No more outsourcing your food decisions to an app, an influencer, or a label. This is about building a relationship with food — and with your body — that can actually last.  This two-part series is designed for women over 40 who are done with the rules and ready for something more real. This is it.  KEYWORDS / TAGS food freedom women over 40, context in nutrition, perimenopause eating, intuitive eating midlife, how to stop food guilt, women hormones and diet, gut health over 40, estrogen diet, cortisol and food, nervous system and eating, healthy relationship with food, women's health podcast, whole health empowerment 

What if the leadership skills we've spent decades rewarding are no longer the ones that matter most?In this conversation, mediator, peacemaker, and author Douglas Noll argues that AI is making critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and human connection more valuable—not less. As technology takes over more analytical work, leaders who can regulate trust, create psychological safety, and keep people engaged will have a growing advantage.Doug challenges some of the deepest assumptions in modern management, including the idea that people are primarily rational actors. From emotional contagion in the workplace to the three questions every nervous system is constantly asking, this discussion explores why leadership in the AI era may be less about technical expertise and more about understanding human behavior.Related Links:Join the People Managing People CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Douglas on LinkedInCheck out Douglas' websiteVisit Noll AssociatesSupport the show

Why do brains generate strange thoughts sometimes? And why do some brains refuse to let go of those thoughts? Today we'll talk about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with expert Jon Hershfield, getting a view from the inside and the outside. Why do some people lock the door but go back repeatedly to check it, and still have a feeling of uncertainty that it’s locked? Why do some people wash their hands over and over and never feel that they reach a point when it’s “done”. How, for some people, are intrusive thoughts like junkmail that the brain just cant help opening? We’ll see how obsessive thoughts can get caught in loops, and how those loops might therapeutically be broken.

I recently started watching "The Pitt," and I am deeply impressed. The acting, writing, and storylines are exceptional. What especially stayed with me is how human the show feels. Noah Wyle seems to have grown into the perfect role - experienced, compassionate, exhausted, imperfect, and believable. The series manages to be both entertaining and thoughtful, especially in its treatment of mental health, suffering, forgiveness, and end-of-life issues. I also discovered the Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono - and realized I have been practicing something very similar for more than 40 years without ever knowing its name. If you are watching The Pitt - or decide to start - I would genuinely love to hear what you think.

Why Can't I Stop Thinking About the Affair? Understanding Rumination, Triggers, and Healing After Betrayal In this important episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore one of the most common and painful questions after betrayal: “Why can't I stop thinking about it?” Together, they unpack the neuroscience and emotional reality behind rumination, intrusive thoughts, PTSD responses, triggers, and nervous system dysregulation after sexual betrayal and affairs. The conversation helps both betrayed and betraying partners understand why the mind and body struggle to “move on,” even when logic says the relationship may be improving. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn discuss how betrayal disrupts safety, attachment, and reality itself, often leaving the betrayed partner feeling emotionally flooded, hypervigilant, and stuck in repetitive thoughts. They also explain how healing requires more than simply stopping behaviors—it involves nervous system regulation, emotional attunement, compassion, consistency, and deeper relational repair. Listeners will also learn practical tools for responding to triggers, including grounding exercises, journaling, movement-based trauma release, self-attunement, parts work, emotional regulation, and therapeutic approaches such as EMDR and ART. This episode offers hope, validation, and practical guidance for anyone struggling with intrusive thoughts after betrayal trauma. Key Topics Covered Why betrayed partners experience rumination and intrusive thoughts PTSD and betrayal trauma responses The difference between logical understanding and nervous system safety Why triggers continue even after behavior stops Emotional flooding and nervous system dysregulation How betraying partners can respond in healing ways Self-compassion and trauma recovery Tools for emotional regulation and trauma release Parts work and self-attunement EMDR, ART, and trauma-informed healing approaches Recovery capital and building support systems Resources Mentioned The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Brené Brown – research on exhaustion and uncertainty Jill Bolte Taylor – emotional processing concepts Calming the Emotional Storm by Sheri Van Dijk EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) Polyvagal Theory by Stephen Porges Internal Parts Work / Self-Attunement Approaches Recovery Capital framework Human Intimacy Podcast episode on Empathy vs. Compassion Upcoming Course Intimacy Repair Method (IRM) — 12 Week Course Join Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis for the upcoming Intimacy Repair Method (IRM) course beginning May 7th.

Can't Stop Thinking About Work at Night? 10-Minute Wind Down for Better SleepAs the sun dips lower over the North Devon hills, the day's work is done—but often, our minds don't know how to clock off. We carry emails, conversations, and endless to-do lists into our sanctuary, leading to that frustrated, "tired but wired" feeling.In this final session of our daily trilogy, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett helps you perform Cognitive Offloading. This science-backed practice of deliberately dropping mental weight allows your brain to enter recovery mode. Using the 4-7-8 breathing technique, you will signal to your heart that you are officially "off-duty". It's time to walk to the edge of the meadow, click the latch on the gate, and leave the noise of the world behind you.

Have you ever found yourself obsessing over someone, constantly checking your phone, replaying conversations, or imagining a future that hasn't happened yet? It might feel like love… but often, it's actually your Attachment Style being activated. Obsessive thoughts and emotional intensity aren't random. They follow predictable patterns based on how you're wired for connection and understanding these patterns can change everything. Episode Summary In this episode, Thais Gibson breaks down Attachment Styles & the psychology of obsession, explaining how each Attachment Style experiences attraction, fixation, and emotional intensity differently. You'll learn how Anxious Attachment, Dismissive Avoidant, Fearful Avoidant, and Securely Attached individuals each experience obsession; from hyperactivation and chasing, to emotional suppression, to push-pull cycles. Thais also explains why obsession is often a sign of Attachment Activation rather than true compatibility, and how building internal safety and meeting your own needs can transform obsessive patterns into secure, healthy connection. Key Takeaways ✔️ Anxious Attachment often experiences obsession as urgency and fear of disconnection ✔️ Dismissive Avoidant individuals may obsess privately while appearing emotionally distant ✔️ Fearful Avoidant patterns create intense push-pull cycles of closeness and withdrawal ✔️ Emotional chaos can feel familiar and be mistaken for connection ✔️ Obsession is often attachment activation, not necessarily love ✔️ Securely Attached individuals are less likely to obsess due to internal stability ✔️ Meeting your own needs reduces fixation on others Timestamps 00:00 – Attachment Styles & The Psychology of Obsession 00:54 – Attachment Style #1 01:57 – Attachment Style #2 04:02 – Attachment Style #3 06:09 – 7-Day Free Trial + Needs Course Promo 07:02 – Attachment Style #4 08:33 – Learn How to Heal at the Personal Development School Meet the Host Thais Gibson is the founder of The Personal Development School and a world leader in attachment theory.

Do you ever feel like food is just… always on your mind? What to eat. When to eat. If you should eat. How much you already ate. It's like this constant mental loop—and honestly, it's exhausting. And most women assume it means they lack discipline or self-control… But what if that's not actually the problem? What if your body is simply asking for something you're not giving it? Because here's the truth: when your body feels nourished, your brain gets quieter. The obsession starts to fade. The constant thoughts don't feel so loud. So today, we're talking about what to actually eat to help you stop obsessing over food— not by trying to control your thoughts, but by finally supporting your body the way it needs. I'm going to walk you through three simple, realistic nutrition strategies that will help you feel more satisfied, more energized, and experience something so many women are craving… mental freedom around food.

If you've ever lain awake at 2am replaying conversations with your narcissistic partner or ex — rehearsing the perfect response, asking yourself why you can't just let it go — this episode is for you. Rumination after narcissistic abuse is one of the most common and most misunderstood experiences in covert narcissist recovery. It feels compulsive. It feels impossible to stop. And most people in narcissistic relationships believe it means something is wrong with them. It doesn't. And in this episode, Renee Swanson — certified life coach, survivor of 21 years of covert narcissistic abuse, and host of the Covert Narcissism Podcast — breaks down exactly what is happening in your mind, why it won't stop, and what your rumination is actually chasing beneath the surface. What you will learn in this episode: Why rumination after narcissistic abuse is not a sign of weakness — it is your mind's trauma response doing exactly what it was designed to do The three-layer framework for understanding why your thought loops are so relentless and so hard to break What intermittent reinforcement is and why covert narcissistic relationships condition your nervous system like a slot machine The feeling beneath the loop — what your rumination is really chasing, and why you've been looking for it in the wrong place Why understanding the thought loop alone is not enough to stop it — and what actually creates lasting change Two practical tools to use immediately — one for deep reflection and one for the moment the spiral starts If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to go deeper than understanding — if you're ready to have real support in applying what you know and moving forward — Renee invites you to explore coaching at www.covertnarcissism.com Coaching is not about learning more.

It’s no secret I’ve been stuck in my creativity lately (and my fertility). So as a way to reignite my life force energy, I’m going back to the basics. I’m forgetting about my audience and moving toward what makes me happy. Which has me thinking: If you’re creating your art for an audience, is it really art? Is creativity with a specific end in mind really creativity at all? Join me as I think this through in real time and follow along as I try once again to find the creative spark that often gets buried by what we think other people want.

Discover the Spanish Infanta who reshaped Renaissance power from behind the throne.Step into the glittering courts of 16th-century Europe as historian Professor Magdalena Sánchez joins host Paul Bavill to rage against a stubborn myth: that women only matter in history when they command political power. Catalina Micaela — daughter of Philip II of Spain and Duchess of Savoy — has long been treated as a political footnote. But across 3,000 intimate letters, a forceful, devoted, and highly capable woman emerges: one who shaped diplomacy, managed wars, and commanded a court… while enduring ten pregnancies in thirteen years. Professor Sánchez reveals how Catalina: • Asserted her authority as Infanta of Spain, not merely “a duchess” • Governed Savoy during her husband's campaigns, acting as his lieutenant • Challenged ministers, criticised generals, and organised court life with precision • Maintained deep emotional connection through constant letter-writing and gift-giving • Balanced political influence with religious devotion and motherhood as central duties This episode uncovers Catalina's love story, her leadership, and the invisible labour of royal women — all of which historians have too often ignored. If you think only queens and rulers shape history, Catalina will change your mind.Further Listening from the History Rage ArchiveFor more on powerful and underestimated women of Renaissance Europe: • Episode 199 — Catherine de' Medici with Una McElvenna • Episode 232 — Ruling Queens with Elizabeth Norton About Our Guest – Professor Magdalena SánchezProfessor of History at Gettysburg College and author of: Infanta: The Short Remarkable Life of Catalina Michaela (Yale University Press) — the first major biography to spotlight Catalina's voice and legacy.

What if the distance in your marriage isn't because you've grown apart—but because you were never given the right information about relationships? In this candid conversation with Ellen, I share the simple steps that can turn tension into warmth, distance into desire, and a struggling relationship into one that is thriving again. If you've been trying harder but not seeing results, you are not alone. Many women start wondering whether there's something wrong with their husband. But often the real problem is that they've been trying with tools that actually make things worse.  In this episode, we explore why many relationship "fixes" backfire, how women unintentionally create distance while trying to repair the marriage, and the counterintuitive shifts that naturally draw a husband back to his wife. If you've ever wondered whether you just married the wrong guy, this conversation will give you a whole different perspective.

Have you ever finished a meal and immediately found yourself thinking about what else you could eat? Or maybe you start the day telling yourself, “I'm going to be good today,” but somehow food stays on your mind all. day. long. You're planning, tracking, resisting, thinking about it… and honestly, it's exhausting. The frustrating part? You might feel like something is wrong with you—that you don't have enough willpower or that you just need to be more disciplined. But here's the truth: constantly thinking about food isn't a discipline problem. It's not a moral failing, and it's definitely not because there's something wrong with you. What you're experiencing is actually a predictable response from your brain and your body. When your body isn't getting what it truly needs—or when food feels restricted, off-limits, or stressful—your brain does exactly what it's designed to do: it keeps bringing your attention back to food, over and over again. So if you feel like you're obsessing about food all day, this isn't random. And it's not a personal failure. It's a pattern—and the good news? It's a pattern you can break. Today, we're going to talk about why this happens, what's driving it, and practical, real steps to finally feel more at peace with food. The goal isn't more restriction or more rules. The goal is to get your brain off food and start living the life God has called you to live—free, focused, and fully alive. If you want to dive into this even deeper, I would love to hear from you!

Ready for deeper support? Work with me 1:1: https://trueinnerfreedom.com/working-together/  Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling something was "off"… even when everyone else seemed perfectly fine? If you're a highly sensitive person, you may notice emotional shifts that others completely miss — a subtle tone change, tension beneath a joke, or the feeling that someone isn't really "fine." But instead of trusting that awareness, many sensitive people turn it against themselves, assuming their depth means they're too much, too emotional, or too fragile. In this Self-Compassion Wednesday episode, we explore why your nervous system picks up so much emotional information — and how the real struggle isn't your sensitivity, but the stressful stories layered on top of it. Understand what emotional intensity actually looks like in everyday life for highly sensitive people. Discover why your empathy runs so deep and the important role it plays in human relationships and group dynamics. Learn how to separate emotional signals from the stressful interpretations that create overwhelm, shame, and rumination.

Episode Overview In this episode of the Agent to CEO Podcast, John Kitchens sits down with longtime operator and real estate leader Stace Bohlender to unpack the critical shift every high-performing agent eventually faces—moving from top producer to true CEO. Stace shares the behind-the-scenes story of stepping into ownership, transitioning from selling homes to running a company, and learning how to think differently when the responsibility shifts from transactions to leadership, operations, and long-term strategy. From surviving one of the toughest real estate markets in recent memory to building an exit strategy through real estate investing, Stace breaks down the mindset, systems, and financial discipline required to build a business that produces wealth—not just income. This episode is a masterclass for agents who feel stuck in production and want to start building assets, leverage, and long-term financial freedom. Key Topics Covered The Moment Everything Changed: Becoming the Owner Stace reflects on the moment the opportunity to buy the company became real. What began as a career focused on listing homes quickly transformed into full leadership responsibility. Suddenly the role included: Managing employees Overseeing company finances Running marketing strategy Managing budgets and operations Protecting the reputation of the brand The shift forced a completely new way of thinking about the business. "You wake up one day and realize this isn't just about selling houses anymore." The Mindset Shift: Nobody Is Coming to Save You One of the most powerful realizations Stace shares is simple: Nobody is coming to save you. This realization created the urgency to: Develop a growth mindset Take ownership of personal development Build wealth intentionally Stop relying solely on transactional income Responsibility for family, employees, and the business forced a higher standard of discipline. Running Every Decision Through a Filter As CEO, Stace developed a decision-making filter to evaluate every opportunity. Each decision must answer: Does this improve the business financially? Does this improve quality of life? Does it align with our company values? Will it move the company forward? This process eliminates distractions and protects the business from chasing shiny objects. Why ROI Must Drive Every Business Decision Stace explains why agents often waste money on marketing without understanding the math behind their investments. Every marketing expense must answer one question: Does the return justify the cost? Understanding acquisition cost, commission splits, and operational expenses allows leaders to determine whether a lead source truly makes financial sense. Getting "Skinny" During Tough Markets After the challenging market conditions of 2023–2025, Stace and his team made a strategic decision to simplify their operations. Their approach included: Cutting unnecessary marketing expenses Evaluating every operational cost Narrowing marketing channels to what actually works Eliminating distractions and focusing on productivity Instead of trying everything, they focused on what consistently produced results. Building an Exit Strategy Through Real Estate Stace emphasizes that transactions alone rarely produce long-term financial freedom. Instead, he focuses on building wealth through real estate investments, including: Rental property acquisition Property flips Equity growth Leveraging investment properties The goal is simple: build assets that eventually replace transactional income. The Importance of Multiple Income Streams One of the most important lessons from Stace's journey is diversification. Rather than relying only on commissions, successful real estate entrepreneurs should consider income streams such as: Real estate investments Property management Brokerage ownership Team revenue House flipping Multiple streams create financial stability even when the market shifts. Real Estate as the Ultimate Opportunity Engine One of the biggest advantages of a real estate career is access. Agents build relationships with: Investors Attorneys Contractors Bankers Developers Community leaders These relationships unlock deal flow and investment opportunities that most people never see. Stop Thinking. Start Doing. Stace shares one of the most important pieces of advice for agents who want to grow: Stop overthinking and start executing. Many agents delay investing because they believe they need more time, knowledge, or capital. But the real breakthrough happens when the first deal gets done. After that, momentum follows. Resources & Mentions Seven Figure Strategy Call → 7FigureCall.com John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway The biggest difference between an agent and a CEO isn't production. It's how they think about the business. Agents focus on closing deals. CEOs focus on building assets. When agents learn to use their real estate business as a vehicle for investments, partnerships, and long-term opportunities, the game changes completely. As Stace Bohlender reminds us: "Stop thinking and start doing."
