Podcasts about stop trying

Ep 537. This week, Renee chats with Carla Ondrasik, former music publishing executive turned mentor and author, about success, identity, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is stop trying. Carla shares stories from her career developing chart-topping artists like Barbra Streisand, Mariah Carey, and Christina Aguilera — and what walking away from the industry taught her about worth, balance, and family. They dive into the pressure so many women feel to prove themselves, the danger of tying identity to achievement, and the freedom that comes from redefining success on your own terms. Carla's upcoming book Stop Trying! is both her story and a guide for anyone ready to let go of constant striving and finally start living.

Hey Mama,  Do you ever bring a prayer request to the feet of Jesus, and then turn around and stress about whether or not it will happen, how it will happen, or when it will happen? As mothers, it is our second nature to plan and coordinate our lives and the lives of our families, so it's no wonder we often struggle with relinquishing control. I have good news, Mama. Jesus, the one who paid the price for it all, can handle whatever it is you ask of Him. He doesn't ask you to figure it out, He asks you to be faithful and trust in Him. So, if you want to have true peace as a busy mom, then stop trying to answer your own prayers and do these 3 things instead. For His Glory, Christen   I would love to hear from you!  >>Leave a Review >>Connect with me:   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment   Email me : naturalwellnessforbusymoms@gmail.com  Sign Up to Become an Insider: https://bit.ly/naturalwellnessinsider  Join Our FREE Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1789472588229094  >>Find Related Products Here: https://bit.ly/m/Natural-Wellness-for-Busy-Moms  >> These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

In this candid episode, host Ned Schaut sits down with author and speaker Eric Rogell to confront the trap many fathers fall into—trying to be the “nice guy” who's always liked instead of the man who leads with courage and conviction. Eric shares why advice often misses the mark, and why children need fathers who live out wisdom through the Sacred Seven Core Values: courage, honesty, integrity, commitment, duty, honor, and love. From fatherhood and step-parenting to manhood at “Level 60,” Eric unpacks how dropping the need for approval allows dads to guide their kids with strength, presence, and authenticity. This conversation challenges men to stop chasing validation, embrace their role as mentors, and build a legacy rooted in love and honor.Chapters:00:00:00 – Welcome to Fatherhood Field Notes Podcast00:01:19 – Meet Eric00:03:25 – Late 50s accomplishments: writing a book, producing a documentary00:04:24 – Turning point through meditation and taking command of life00:06:16 – No plans to retire from purposeful work00:07:28 – Untapped wisdom in older, retired men00:08:29 – Difference between advice (head) and wisdom (heart)00:09:47 – Using “wisdom, not advice” by sharing stories and mistakes00:14:25 – Value of letting kids make mistakes: “prepare the child for the road”00:16:35 – Creating healthy challenges, like running an excavator00:18:44 – The Sacred Seven Core Values: Courage, Honesty, Integrity, Commitment, Duty, Honor, Love00:22:26 – The “King and Kingdom” principle: care for yourself to care for family00:25:42 – Navy SEAL lesson on why most commitments fail after five days00:28:10 – Advice for men in the stepfather role00:28:34 –Don't try to be liked; earn respect00:31:25 – Three Lights of Leadership: Friend, Guide, Guardian00:38:14 – What will your kids think of you at 60?00:38:58 – Complex relationship with father: once seen as villain, later as hero00:42:16 – Discovering father's generosity through stories after his passing00:43:37 – Importance of a father's attention, not just time00:46:28 – It's okay to be the “villain” when acting as guardianGuest Link:Lions Raised as Lambs WebsiteEric's WebsiteEric on InstagramLinks and Resources:Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

In this bite-sized nugget, I'm tackling one of the biggest potty training mistakes I see right now: “trying” to potty train. And by trying, I don't mean giving it an honest go—I mean sampling it here and there, doing it only on weekends, or half-committing and hoping your kid magically figures it out. Spoiler: that just sends mixed messages and sets everyone up for frustration. Potty training, like learning to read, takes consistency and commitment. In this episode, I'm breaking down why “there is no try” (yep, straight out of Yoda's playbook), what happens when you wait until you're up against a deadline, and why you're better off not starting at all than dabbling. If you've been dipping a toe into potty training instead of diving in, this one's your loving reality check.Timestamps:(00:04:27) Immersive Approach to Potty Training Success(00:05:52) Consistent Support for Successful Potty Training(00:10:07) Committed and Consistent Potty Training Approach⁠Jamie's Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Oh Crap!

So many women feel stuck — spinning in cycles of overeating, drinking, scrolling, and procrastination — no matter how much they pray. The reason? You're trying to cast out what must be crucified.In this episode, I share the revelation the Lord gave me at 1:30 in the morning: resurrection power is only for those living by the Spirit. Flesh cannot be cast out — it must be nailed to the cross.You'll learn:Why desires (your cravings, appetites, longings) keep you stuck in the moment.How passions (your emotions and actions) fuel destructive patterns.The biblical test to discern what must be crucified.Why freedom only comes at the back end of crucifixion, not the front end of indulgence.This is the missing key to transformation — not more willpower, but resurrection power.

“This waiting for approval from daddy—all of that is so antithetical to actually living your own existence,” says psychotherapist Satya Doyle Byock. Today, Byock returns for a conversation about the ego, why it gets a bad rap, and why we need a strong sense of self to be in relationship with anyone. Also: our culture’s ascension myth, and why we have a tendency to misinterpret Jungian psychology and overemphasize the importance of individuation and the drive to transcend. Then, Byock shares something poignant about how life, for her, stays beautiful and bountiful, even in the extreme difficulty of things.

Cybersecurity risks have become more complex and unpredictable than ever, yet many companies struggle to quantify these threats in terms that truly matter. How can CFOs and CISOs effectively communicate about risk, make smart security investments, and navigate the emerging challenges posed by AI? In this episode, CJ interviews Andy Ellis, a renowned cybersecurity leader, former CISO of Akamai, investor, director, advisor, leadership coach, and author of the book 1% Leadership. Andy unpacks why most companies measure risk the wrong way and breaks down his "Pyramid of Pain” framework for categorizing it. He discusses the dynamics between CFOs and CISOs in purchasing security tools, demystifies security budgeting and vendor negotiations, dives into the evolving role of AI in security operations, and explains why the CISO and CIO roles are on a collision course. Andy also reveals insider stories from the frontlines of major breaches, shares a compelling risk analogy inspired by vampires and zombies, and clears up once and for all why the demise of the Death Star was not a failure of risk management.—LINKS:Andy Ellis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/csoandyAndy Ellis on X: (@CSOAndy) https://x.com/csoandyWebsite: https://www.csoandy.com1% Leadership: https://www.amazon.com/1-Leadership-Master-Improvements-Leaders/dp/0306830817How to CISO: https://www.howtociso.comDuha One: CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:49) Sponsor – Rillet | Pulley | Brex(07:23) Defining Risk: Technical & Human-Friendly Perspectives(09:20) Actuarial Risk Versus Human-Driven Risk(15:33) Why the Demise of the Death Star Wasn't a Failure of Risk Management(16:58) Sponsor – Aleph | RightRev | Navan(21:22) How the Death Star Metaphor Relates to Real-World Security Breaches(23:20) Why Risk Should Not Be Quantified in Dollar Terms(25:15) The Pyramid of Pain: Risk Severity and Surprise Levels(30:21) How CFOs and CISOs Should Partner on Security Purchases(34:03) Are Security Budgets Over or Under-Spent?(36:22) Balancing Budget for Security Tools and People(39:48) Tips for FP&As on Brokering the Security Budget With Your CISO(44:10) Factoring AI Uncertainty in a Three-Year Security Roadmap(46:38) AI Washing in Security Products and Realistic Impact(48:55) The Limitations of Security Operations(50:53) The Future of CIO and CISO Roles and Organizational Reporting(54:55) Why IT Shouldn't Report to the CFO(57:18) Israeli Unit 8200 and Cybersecurity Innovation(59:50) Startups Versus Public Companies: Differing Risk Models(1:02:52) Wrap—SPONSORS:Rillet is the AI-native ERP modern finance teams are switching to because it's faster, simpler, and 100% built for how teams operate today.

Here's what you'll learn by listening: ​Why knowing what to do and actually doing it are not the same thing!​How ‘fix-it mode' often creates more pressure and less progress.​The clues those stubborn behaviours contain, and how to start listening. ​Real change - which sticks - starts with exploring why the behaviour is happening, rather than forcing yourself to stop.Cover art by Jacob McFaddenTheme song by Melissa Carter @ Making Audio Magic

Why he ghosted? Why he treated you like that? In this episode, we're breaking the cycle of obsession and over-analysis. The truth is: healing doesn't come from understanding him—it comes from understanding yourself.We'll talk about why we fixate on their behavior, how it distracts us from our own growth, and what it looks like to take your power back.

For many couples, the journey to parenthood is filled with hope, heartbreak, and hard choices. But there's one question that almost no one talks about openly: “When should I stop trying for a baby?”In this episode of Egg Meets Sperm, I am joined by Gabriela Rosa. She has been doing this for years before I started! Gabriela Rosa is a Harvard-awarded fertility specialist and founder of the world's first virtual holistic fertility clinic. Over the past two decades, she has helped more than 140,000 couples in 110+ countries overcome infertility and miscarriage—even when nothing else worked.In this deeply honest discussion, we explore:The hard truths of the fertility industry – why many healthcare systems stop digging for answers too soon, and why “unexplained infertility” can waste precious time.Emotional alignment with your partner – how mismatched desires can quietly sabotage your journey.Financial and lifestyle realities – why resources, career goals, and emotional reserves are as important as medical options.Stories of resilience and clarity – from a 58-year-old first-time mother to couples who walked away and built a different kind of life.How to know when it's your decision – the internal compass and writing exercises that help you listen to your own truth, free from outside pressure.We also talk openly about why having a baby should never be seen as a solution to relationship challenges, and how to avoid the heartbreak of pursuing someone else's dream instead of your own.Whether you're actively in treatment, considering stopping, or supporting someone on this path, this conversation offers insight, compassion, and a framework for making one of life's most personal decisions.Timestamps:0:00 – Introduction: The question no one wants to ask5:42 – How the healthcare system fails fertility patients14:10 – The emotional cost of “trying everything”20:33 – When partners aren't on the same page28:57 – Real stories: late-in-life pregnancy, 20+ IVF attempts, and letting go38:44 – Using your internal compass to guide decisions45:30 – Why a baby won't “fix” a relationship51:00 – Final thoughts: living in integrity with your decisionFollow Gariela Rosa on:LinkedInRosa Institute: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-rosa-institute/mycompany/Gabriela: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielarosa/Instagram:@fertilitybreakthrough: https://www.instagram.com/fertilitybreakthrough/@gabrielarosafertility: https://www.instagram.com/gabrielarosafertility/@dr.gabrielarosa: https://www.instagram.com/dr.gabrielarosa/@gabrielarosa_talksex: https://www.instagram.com/gabrielarosa_talksex/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@naturalfertilitybreakthrou9897Facebook:Gabriela:

In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee shares a lighthearted story about cooking a steak—and how it became a lesson in focusing on your true strengths. Too many of us waste time chasing skills we don't care about, driven by outside comparisons or the desire for validation. Baylor breaks down why eliminating non-essential pursuits frees up energy to double down on what you love and are naturally gifted at. By owning your strengths, you can not only grow faster in your lane but also genuinely celebrate the talents of others without comparison or envy. Key Takeaways: You Don't Have to Be Great at Everything: Accepting weaknesses creates space to maximize your strengths. Check Your Motivation: Ask yourself why you want to improve at something—passion or outside pressure? Passion Makes Practice Easier: If it feels like a chore, it may not be worth pursuing deeply. Energy Is Limited: Spend it on becoming exceptional in areas that matter to you. Celebrate Others' Gifts: When you own your lane, it's easier to respect and support others in theirs. Notable Quotes: “So much unhappiness in life comes from wanting to be better at things for the wrong reasons.” “The more things you can eliminate from your life, the more energy you have for what matters.” “When you own your craft, it's easier to cheer for people who are great at the things you're not.”

Reacting To IWillDominates Reaction Of Taking TOO Much Responsibility

We have a way God's love looks in our heads: rainbows, puppies, and maybe even a gallon bucket of that one frappe from Starbucks. Yeah...that's not quite what Jonah felt when he found himself stuck in the digestive track of a giant sea beast. But what if that's the exact thing that Jonah needed to come back to God at that time? This week Alli Patterson shows us how God's mercy is always chasing us, and God can and will use whatever it takes to bring us back to Him—even if it means becoming fish food. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Some of us spend our days trying to be “good enough.”We swap bad habits for better ones. We adjust our image, polish our reputation.But what if the change God wants for you doesn't start with effort—it starts with identity?In Colossians 3, we see that life with Jesus isn't about self-improvement.It's about living from who you already are: chosen, loved, and free.Stop trying. Start living.And discover the freedom that lasts.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Your Best Ideas Come When You Stop Trying So Hard July 31, 2025 | Episode 5149 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott takes you behind the scenes of his Face Your Passion Inner Circle call in this spontaneous, unscripted episode. Fresh off a powerful coaching session, he shares game-changing insights about treating exercise like your job, "pre-selling" your time for what matters, and why brainstorming isn't what you think it is. This isn't your typical structured podcast—it's raw coaching wisdom that'll shift how you think about productivity, focus, and getting what you want in life. Sometimes the best insights come when you least expect them. Featured Story Scott opens up about his "coaching call about nothing"—a weekly session where nobody knows what'll happen, but everyone gets exactly what they need. Inspired by Jerry Seinfeld's approach, this unstructured format creates space for breakthrough moments. The magic happens when you show up without a predetermined agenda and let authentic connection and spontaneous wisdom flow. It's proof that sometimes the most powerful results come from embracing the unexpected rather than forcing a plan. Important Points Exercise becomes non-negotiable when you treat it like your job—if you know you're getting paid, you'll show up and do the work. "Pre-selling your time" means buying back hours for yourself at your hourly rate, making you serious about protecting that space for what matters most. Brainstorming is unfocused time for capturing ideas throughout the day, while organization is focused energy work that requires your full attention and higher energy levels. Memorable Quotes "You don't even know what you're gonna get out of it today, but you know you want to show up because every time you do, you get exactly what you needed that day." "Point yourself in the right direction. Do the things you know you're supposed to be doing and let things happen." "The more you put the time in, the more you realize the stuff was going to happen anyway. Why didn't I do that sooner?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Schedule exercise like a job commitment—treat it as paid time that you must show up for, no matter what. Calculate your hourly rate and "buy back" time for yourself by blocking calendar space, then protect that investment like you would any business expense. Capture brainstorming ideas throughout your day during unfocused activities, then use high-energy focused time to organize and connect those ideas on paper.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or completely drained from trying to hold everything, and everyone together I get it, I was once there too. The truth is, constantly fixing, managing, and rescuing those around us doesn't bring peace... it creates more suffering. In this episode, I share what I've learned on my own Soul Recovery path about how the compulsion to help and control stems from old patterns, and how letting go has been the greatest act of love—not just for myself, but for those I care about.We dive into the deeper truth that your healing begins the moment you stop turning your energy outward and begin focusing inward. We explore what it means to detach with love, to let others walk their own journey, and to reclaim your energy for your own transformation.Soul Recovery isn't about abandoning others—it's about releasing the illusion that their healing is your responsibility. It's about becoming a compassionate presence without losing yourself.You don't have to fix everything. You don't have to hold it all together. Come back to your center. Heal yourself. That is the most powerful gift you can offer the world.Want to join the Recovery Your Soul community? Join the FREE Soul Recovery Support Group the 1st Monday of every month from 6-7PM Mountain Time.

Why might being “cool” make someone a dangerous person to work for? And why are some of the greatest leaders uncool? In episode 247 of At The Table, Pat and Cody challenge the cultural obsession with being “cool” and examine how it can corrupt leadership. Using a global study that defined six traits of coolness—especially “powerful” and “hedonistic”—they reveal how these values run counter to responsible leadership. Through stories, examples, and hard truths, they make the case that great leaders are often deeply uncool—and that's precisely what makes them trustworthy.Topics Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson explore in this episode: (3:39) The Six Traits of Cool* The hosts list the six cool traits: adventurous, autonomous, open, extroverted, powerful, and hedonistic.* Pat expresses deep concern about “powerful” and “hedonistic” being celebrated.(6:53) Cool Traits* Cody and Pat analyze “open,” “autonomous,” and “adventurous” as potentially valid for leaders.* They debate whether extroversion belongs in either coolness or leadership.(10:28) Why Hedonism and Power Don't Belong* Why hedonism contradicts servant leadership.* The trap of confusing likability or popularity with effectiveness.(16:25) The Dangers of Hiring Cool Leaders* How boards and teams often choose “cool” over capable.* Flipping the script—celebrating uncool, authentic leaders.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com. We teach leaders how to make work more effective and less dysfunctional. We also help their employees be more fulfilled and less miserable.
