Podcasts about stop trying

This episode is brought to you by Caldera Lab and Audible. Author and mindset disruptor Carla Ondrasik unpacks the radical idea behind 'stop trying'. Carla challenges the culturally accepted virtue of "trying," revealing it as a fear response that keeps us stuck in inaction and self-sabotage. Through personal stories—from pitching hit songs to Cher to rewriting her own future through visualization—Carla shares why doing, not trying, is the true path to success. This conversation explores how trying shows up in our language, our relationships, and our goals, and offers clear, compassionate strategies for unlearning inherited patterns, setting boundaries, and building a life rooted in clarity and courageous action.

Every woman has a moment where she quietly admits…“I don't know who I am right now.”For me, it wasn't dramatic.It wasn't cinematic.It was a slow unraveling in the middle of postpartum, business demands, NICU memories, and a marriage trying to find its footing again.Motherhood didn't just give me a baby.It exposed the parts of me I had ignored.The places I was operating from self-sufficiency instead of surrender.The ways I was hustling instead of being held.And the subtle ways I had slipped out of alignment with the woman God was shaping me into.This episode is the truth about the identity erosion that happens in survival seasons — and the holy, humbling, deeply personal journey of becoming her again.Inside, we talk about:- The moment I knew I wasn't myself anymore- How the NICU changed me in ways I'm still processing- The emotional fog postpartum creates (and why no one prepares you for it)- The quiet grief of losing the “old you”- How God used depletion to rebuild my character- The first small, non-aesthetic steps I took to come home to myself- Why identity rebuilding had to happen before I could rebuild my brand, my marriage, or my confidenceThis is the episode for the woman who is tired of pretending she's “fine.”The woman who wants to feel grounded again.The woman who knows she's in a rebirth… but hasn't had the language for it until now.No quick-fix identity hacks.No “bounce back” pressure.Just truth, refinement, and the woman God is forming in the fire.Similar Episodes: Ep. 186: The Season No One Actually Prepares You For — Balancing Postpartum, Marriage & Multi-6 FiguresEp. 166: Stop Trying to Be Who You Were — The Identity Shift That Prepares You for MoreEp. 190: The Unhinged Things I Did to Get My Dream Life, a Multi-Six-Figure Business, and a BabyYour Next MoveIf this episode hit home, screenshot it, share it to your Stories, and tag@itslaurapatriciamartin + @softxsavagepodcast.Tell me the part of yourself you're ready to reclaim — I'll be right there cheering you on.Resource Links:⁠Join Bolder Branding Academy—The signature space where we rebuild the digital expression of the woman you are becoming, so your brand finally reflects your identity with clarity, conviction, and premium presence.Download Magnetic Messaging Mini-Training — $22 for instant depth, power, and conviction in your content.Laura's Amazon Favorites — My daily essentials for soft x savage home & life.

 When I look at the lives of many elderly people — who spend most of their time complaining —I can't help but think: Something must have gone wrong along the way.Every moment, we make choices:What is important to usWhat fits our life standardsWhere we should compromise — and where we should never compromiseA Common Question:Does it make sense to separate once you already have children?Never.Here's why:You'll end up paying heavily for your kids while barely seeing them.Your children will feel abandoned — and so will your spouse.The result? Resentment instead of love.If your relationship is in trouble, commit to therapy — emotional, physical, and body-oriented — until you solve the problems.And yes, your spouse should do the same.Stop Trying to Fit InTrying to “fit in” is one of the worst strategies for enjoying life.Your neighbor buys a new car — and you feel like you're missing out?Forget it.Stop caring about what other people do.Do the things that truly bring you joy, regardless of what others think.Technology and HappinessA life without TV is a happier life — the same goes for limiting social media.Check social media only once a day for 15 minutes.Do you really think it's attractive to be glued to your phone before, after, and even during intimacy?Sadly, 80% of people do this.If you truly care about your family, put your phone away when you get home — and the same rule should apply to your spouse and kids.In France, it's already illegal to use mobile phones in schools. Maybe they know something we don't.Money vs. LoveIf you focus solely on making money instead of enjoying life or love, you might get richer —but unhappiness will follow.The Harvard Study of Adult Development, running for over 75 years, found that:The happiest, healthiest, longest-living people focused on loving relationships.The unhappiest people focused on money and success.The Power of GratitudeThe happiest people are those who constantly think or say “thank you” — for everything.A University of London study found that two strategies worked best to fight depression:Thinking and saying “thank you” for everything.Doing active sports for 1–2 hours every day.Acceptance and EffortWhat you can't change — accept it.Complaining doesn't help.Fighting for your rights might not always win, but at least you'll know you did your best.Do the best you can with what you have right now.On bad days, accept that you can't be your best self — and forgive yourself for it.Say: Okay, I couldn't do better today. And that's fine.My Video:  Why Are You Not Happy?  https://youtu.be/M3byK_H6EvMMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Why-Are-You-Not-Happy.mp3

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by advice to “hack your dopamine,” or wondered why traditional approaches feel incomplete, this interview with Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas, “The Creative Scientist,” delivers refreshing insights and compassionate tools for thriving as a neurodivergent human. ADHDers often spend years trying to “fix” themselves from the outside in—through medication, planners, routines, and hacks—only to discover that true thriving might come from learning to listen to and trust their bodies. Dr Miguel introduces the concept of embodied neuroscience and explains why ADHD is far more than a brain-based disorder, unraveling the complex interplay between our nervous system, gut health, hormones, and emotional regulation.Get ready to rethink what it means to support ADHD—from the inside out.Episode Highlights:It's Not Just Dopamine: Sure, dopamine's part of the story. But Dr Miguel reminds us it's just one instrument in a much bigger orchestra of brain and body chemistry. ADHD isn't just a “brain disorder”—it's an embodied experience, affected by everything from our gut health to our hormones and daily rhythms.Stop Trying to “Hack” Yourself: Instead of endless hacks, planners, and productivity tools, what if we tuned into our internal signals? Think: listening to hunger cues, taking movement breaks, honoring our need for rest—a holistic approach that begins on the inside.Self-Trust Is Everything: If you've ever struggled to trust your thoughts, feelings, or impulses, you're not alone. The conversation offered hope: as we learn to regulate (and accept!) our unique internal ecosystem, intuition and awareness can flourish.Bringing it Back Home: Instead of survival mode, Dr. Miguel encourages us to “come back home” to ourselves—filling our cups with connection, nourishment, movement, and acceptance, rather than burning out on outside fixes. There's no quick hack for radical self-acceptance, but embracing all facets of our ADHD is a powerful start.ADHD as an Advantage: Messy, complex, and beautifully curious—these traits can be assets in business and life. Don't let anyone oversimplify you! Meet Our Guest Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas is a clinical neuroscientist, applied microbiologist, and nutritionist whose work bridges brain, body, and lived experience. For over 2 decades, he has explored how the gut, nervous system, and microbiome shape mood, focus, and emotional balance.

Summary In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, Denise Thompson and John DeJulius discuss the importance of fostering a 'yes' culture in customer service. They explore how the word 'no' can negatively impact customer interactions and emphasize the need for employees to focus on what they can do to assist customers. Through engaging anecdotes, including the milkshake metaphor from Cameron Mitchell restaurants, they illustrate how empowering employees to say 'yes' can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. The conversation also touches on the role of leadership in creating an environment where employees feel confident to say 'yes' and the potential of AI in improving customer service experiences. Takeaways: The word 'no' should be eliminated from customer service interactions. Empowering employees to say 'yes' enhances customer satisfaction. A positive mindset is crucial for effective customer service. Leaders must create a culture that supports employee autonomy. Understanding customer needs is key to providing excellent service. Training employees to focus on solutions rather than problems is essential. The milkshake metaphor illustrates the importance of a 'yes' culture. Regularly auditing policies can help identify areas for improvement. AI can streamline customer service but should not replace human interaction. Storytelling is a powerful tool in reinforcing company culture.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Manlihood, Josh Hatcher talks with Kyle Tresch — musician, entrepreneur, and co-founder (with his wife Ariel) of The CouplePreneurs Show (also on Spotify).Kyle opens up about his early marriage struggles, identity crisis, and how God used it all to reshape his understanding of manhood, leadership, and humility.He shares how he and Ariel went from competing in business to partnering in purpose — helping entrepreneur couples grow thriving businesses without losing their marriages.And at the heart of it all is a message that every man needs to hear:“The more you try to prove you're a man, the less of a man you are.”This conversation hits on faith, masculinity, purpose, ego, and what it really means to serve the people you love.

It's very common to have a peak spiritual experience and then ask, 'how can I get that back?' The key is to totally and completely let go of all past experiences and to surrender fully into the present moment, which is the only moment that you can access the deeper level of Truth.• Join Louise for a live guided meditation followed by Q&A on Zoom every Saturday and Sunday (by donation): https://www.louisekay.net/zoom.html • Upcoming In-person Retreats:https://www.louisekay.net/retreats.htmlAny experience that you had in the past, no matter how spiritual, exists only as a memory now and that memory is experienced in the present moment. By focusing your attention on the memory (mind) your attention is pulled into identification with a conceptual 'me' that has an agenda to re-create an experience. It is impossible to recognize the deeper Truth of this moment when your attention is focused on mental activity. Therefore, you must constantly meet this moment totally fresh, be free from agendas and become deeply present with whatever experience is here now, regardless of its nature. This is the path to freedom and inner peace.This is a clip from the Germany retreat on August 21st, 2025.Louise Kay holds group events and retreats online and around the world.For more details visit http://www.louisekay.net/

It refined me as a wife.Not in the cute Pinterest-worthy “soft girl mom era” way.In the God-is-sanctifying-me-at-the-core-of-who-I-am-while-I-am-wiping-milk-off-the-counter-and-learning-patience-in-real-time way.Modern culture told us that marriage after baby means either:• losing yourself,• resenting your partner, or• taking a “break” from your business & brand until the dust settles.But scripture says something different.In this episode, I am sharing the very real ways motherhood exposed the strengths in our marriage… and the places my ego, expectations, and independence had to grow up.Inside, we talk about:Why you do not “check out” after becoming a mom—you become more attentiveWork as worship, not hustle or martyrdomWhy you are the energetic thermostat of the homeDiscernment over emotional reactivity in marriageLegacy-driven partnership (not “roommate survival mode”)Delegation, support, and not doing it all yourselfThe difference between rest and idle distractionThis is the episode you listen to when you want more than “survival mode marriage” energy—you want a kingdom-built home, real partnership, and a marriage that grows stronger as you grow.No aesthetic wife era.Just refinement, maturity, and peace in practice.Similar EpisodesEp 186: The Season No One Actually Prepares You For: Balancing Postpartum, Marriage & Multi-6 FiguresEp 166: Stop Trying to Be Who You Were: The Identity Shift That Prepares You for MoreEp 160: 0 to Married (and Pregnant) in Under a Year: The Unfiltered Tea You Didn't Know You Needed (with My Husband, Eduardo Gomez Del Casal)Your Next MoveIf this episode hit home, screenshot it, share it to your Stories, and tag @itslaurapatriciamartin and @softxsavagepodcast.Tell me the identity shift you are stepping into as a wife—I will be right there cheering you on.Connect with Laura Patricia Martin- @itslaurapatriciamartin- Soft x Savage Podcast- Apply for Soft x Savage Society Mastermind — My 12-month mastermind for high-level women building legacy as wives, mothers, and CEOs.- Download Magnetic Messaging Mini-Training — $22 for instant depth, power, and conviction in your content.-Laura's Amazon Favorites — My daily essentials for building a life and a home with elegance and edge.

God can't be controlled. Yet, we think the more we do the good “church things”, God will respond with giving us all the cool stuff we want. Not so. In a special message under the tent at Base Camp, guest speaker Jon Tyson shows us how real freedom (and maybe even some of that stuff we want) can only be found in God—in true surrender.  Recorded live at Crossroads Base Camp in Felicity, Ohio.

How many of us measure our relationship with God by how well we're loving Him, how often we pray, how much we read our Bible, or how obedient we've been this week? But what if our love for God was never meant to be the focus? In this episode, we talk about the freedom that comes when we shift our gaze from our love for God to His love for us, and how that simple change transforms obedience from duty into delight.

In this episode, Spencer Ward breaks down why being the cheapest option in your market is actually the fastest way to go broke. Too many business owners start out thinking low prices will attract customers — but without knowing their numbers, they end up losing money on every job. Spencer uses a powerful boat analogy to explain how chasing cheap work is like drilling more holes in your boat instead of plugging the one that's already there. He shares insights from Mike Campion, Alex Hormozi, Tony Robbins, Patrick Bet-David, and Carl Allen — along with real-world lessons from over a decade of running profitable service companies across Idaho. If you want to build a business that lasts (and actually pays you), this episode will help you: ✅ Understand your numbers and cost per labor hour ✅ Stop competing on price and start competing on value ✅ Charge what you're worth and still grow your customer base ✅ Build a brand that's sustainable, not cheap If you are feeling the love, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you are!!

Sometimes the hardest thing to do… is nothing. In this powerful and deeply personal message, we hear a story that begins with a grieving grandmother and ends with a revelation that will shake your soul — that the real battle isn't out there, it's inside. Pastor Benjamin breaks down what it really means to “Be still and know that I am God,” from the Hebrew Rafa — stop striving — to the intimate, covenantal Yada — truly knowing Him. If you've ever felt anxious, driven, or desperate to make something happen — this one will stop you in your tracks.Because sometimes, the miracle doesn't show up until you stop trying to play God.

Not every decision can be reduced to data. In Choose Wisely: Rationality, Ethics, and the Art of Decision-Making, Barry Schwartz and Richard Schuldenfrei argue that wisdom begins where the algorithm ends.

Ever felt dry, empty, or powerless in your faith? You're not alone. Many followers of Jesus believe—but live without the daily power and presence of the Holy Spirit. In this message, Pastor Chris unpacks how awareness and surrender can turn a spiritless life into a Spirit-filled one, where God's presence brings comfort, guidance, and power from within.

In today's episode, we're tackling one of the biggest myths out there, that we can control our thoughts. From caveman wiring to corporate overthinking, I unpack why your thoughts aren't the problem… but how you relate to them might be. This is an invitation to stop battling your brain and start listening to something deeper, your wisdom, your heart, your soul.

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this raw and powerful episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer gets deeply personal about his greatest fear: the fear of being nothing. He shares how years of striving to be impressive left him burned out, anxious, and disconnected from his true calling—until a transformative encounter with God flipped his perspective.Drawing on the biblical story of David and Goliath, Justin reveals how God uses those willing to be nothing—and why true leadership requires stewarding your body, mind, spirit, and emotions as one integrated temple. This isn't about chasing six-pack abs or status symbols; it's about becoming the kind of person who can carry your calling without breaking under the weight.This episode will encourage, challenge, and free you from the pressure to perform—so you can live from obedience, not ego.Episode Highlights● The Fear of Nothingness – How chasing impressiveness can destroy your health and peace. ● God's Paradox – Why the Kingdom requires emptiness before multiplication. ● The David Blueprint – How preparation, obedience, and strength positioned a shepherd to slay a giant. ● Purpose Requires Energy – Why stewarding your body is essential to carry your calling. ● Legacy Over Vanity – How your rhythms model either dysfunction or health to everyone watching.Action Steps● Let Go of Impressiveness – Stop striving to prove your worth and start living from obedience. ● Integrate Your Health – Steward your physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health together. ● Prepare in the Field – Build daily rhythms before you're “called up” for your Goliath moment. ● Lead by Example – What you multiply starts with what you model. ● Be Willing to Be Nothing – So God can make it something—and that's what becomes impressive.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and founder of Pause Breathwork, Samantha Skelly, for a deeply honest and soulful conversation about evolution, alignment, and faith in both life and business. Samantha shares how her journey as an entrepreneur has transformed into a spiritual assignment—one rooted in artistry, service, and surrender. We talk about what it means to evolve past old versions of success, let go of what no longer feels aligned, and allow business to become a living, breathing expression of who you truly are. We also dive into the importance of slowing down, receiving support, and making peace with change. Samantha opens up about the role faith and prayer have played in her life, her return to her Christian roots, and how she's learned to invite God into her business decisions.

And so no matter if it's relationships, business, what have you, if there's something that just keeps being that spiritual sandpaper for you, you've gotta really ask yourself like, what am I tolerating here? And just simply put, raise the standard.” - Julie Solomon  “  I couldn't see a pathway of it being something else. And I think I had an ego layering on that because my ego was like, “well, surely we can't simplify because then the revenue will drop, and if the revenue drops, then we're not gonna continually grow. And what's that gonna do?” So I had to love fiercely, the part of me that was trying to take over by telling me to keep scaling and what I mean by that is like, not destroy it, not cut it off, not badmouth it, but just love the little girl inside of me that's like, “I wanna keep growing. What if I don't? Who am I gonna upset?” - Samantha Skelly  RESOURCES:

Being told to “calm down” never actually makes you calmer. In this episode, I unpack what “calm” really means in conversation—and why it often backfires. Instead of aiming for a blank-slate calm, I'll show you how to create a grounded connection—a way to stay present, regulate your emotions, and still lean into the conversation with honesty. And stick around until the end, because I'll give you three powerful comebacks you can use the next time someone tells you to “calm down.” Thank you to our sponsors: Cozy Earth.
