If checking your bank balance leaves you with a tight knot in your chest, or if paying the monthly bills feels like a battle you can't win, this episode is your sanctuary. Financial anxiety is not a personal failure; it is a natural response from an overwhelmed nervous system reacting to a perceived threat. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin guides you through a powerful 10-minute somatic relaxation practice.You will learn how to settle your nervous system, untangle your self-worth from a number on a screen, and quiet the mental overwhelm of money worries. Discover how to soften the physical tension of stress, find stillness between your breaths, and take back control of your peace of mind—one small, manageable step at a time. Episode Chapters00:00 – Understanding Financial Anxiety as a Nervous System Response 00:41 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin 01:14 – Somatic Breathing Exercise for Panic and Stress Relief 02:17 – Releasing the Weight of Money Worries 02:41 – Finding Stillness: The Nervous System Reset 03:46 – Guided Visualisation & Positive Affirmations for Abundance 07:26 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Managing Financial Stress 08:49 – Bringing Awareness Back & Grounding 09:20 – Outro, Sharing the Sanctuary & Closing Thoughts Episode AffirmationsRepeat these words silently in your mind or softly out loud during the practice to let them settle as truth: "My bank balance is a number, it is not a measure of my worth." "I am capable of handling my finances one small step at a time." "This worry is a feeling passing through me, it is not a forecast of my future." "I release the need to solve everything about money right now in this exact moment." "I am safe in this moment, even while my finances are still being figured out." 3 Daily Caring TipsThe One-Look Rule: Avoid compulsively refreshing your banking apps, which only feeds the anxious loop. Choose one intentional moment today to check your balance, close the app, and let it be enough until tomorrow. Separate the Maths from the Meaning: A fluctuating number is just data. Notice when your anxious mind starts spinning stories around that data—such as feelings of being "behind" or "not enough." The One-Step Rule: You don't need to fix your entire financial future today. Take just one small, completed action: open one envelope, write down one expense, or send one message to quiet the overwhelm. Social Media Outro & ShareIf financial anxiety is sitting heavily on your shoulders today, please know that you are not alone. If this 10-minute sanctuary helped you breathe a little easier, please consider sharing this episode with a friend, loved one, or colleague who might be quietly carrying the exact same weight. You could be the reason someone else finds their peace today. Thank you for your continued faith and trust in my work. Don't bury your head in the sand—one small step is all it takes. Be positive, smile often, and above all, be kind.

In this episode, Megan and Frank reflect on the mission of Philosophy on the Fringes. Why think about "fringe" topics, such as near-death experiences, aliens, and past life memories? Are these topics any weirder than what passes for respectable in mainstream academic philosophy? And most important, does taking fringe topics seriously make one a crank? To investigate some of these questions, this episode contains a guest interview with Dr. Joshua Blanchard (Oakland University). Dr. Blanchard joins the podcast to discuss the "problem of unwelcome epistemic company", the problem of finding yourself in agreement with some morally or intellectually suspect sources.Hosts' Websites:Megan J Fritts (google.com)Frank J.

Learn what financial advisor fee structures could mean for your wealth and how to find someone who won't sell you out. What new threats are emerging for identity crime victims? Host Sean Pyles, CFP®, and news colleague Rick VanderKnyff are joined by Mona Terry, chief operating and programs officer of the Identity Theft Resource Center, to walk through the ITRC's 2026 Trends in Identity Report. They explore why more than 1 in 4 victims now face two or more simultaneous identity incidents, how device compromise differs from the scams most people think to watch for, and whether AI is already making identity crimes harder to detect and resolve. Do financial advisors have a built-in conflict of interest that could be costing you money? Sean is joined by co-host Elizabeth Ayoola and NerdWallet Wealth Partners CEO Ryan Sterling to tackle a listener's question about whether they should hire a financial advisor. They dig into how different advisor fee structures — from AUM (assets under management) percentages to flat-fee plans, hourly rates, and commissions — create different kinds of conflicts, what the fiduciary standard actually guarantees (and what it doesn't), and what red flags could signal that an advisor's priorities aren't aligned with yours.

Organic traffic is collapsing as AI answers replace clicks. Paul Andre de Vera, founder of Answer Engine Optimization and a 15-year enterprise SEO leader behind growth at Workday, Stripe, and Anaplan, explains why traffic should no longer anchor your reporting and what to track instead. The conversation covers building a metrics stack around indexation, crawlability, and impressions rather than subjective ranking visibility; executing content refreshes that restructure pages with declarative subheadings and quick-fact blocks to win in both LLMs and traditional SERPs; and applying T-shaped, search-everywhere skills across social, video, and Reddit to match how AI surfaces sources.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are you constantly thinking about your adult children, worrying about their choices, or wondering if you did enough as a parent?       What if most of that anxiety isn't serving you or them?      This week, I break down why worrying about your adult children's lives is really fear disguised as wisdom, why trying to control outcomes actually disconnects you from your kids, and what to do instead.       Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FdgDK1lGUv0 Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/570 Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/

Let's talk about how Trump learned to stop worrying and love inflation.…

A programming note: As mentioned in this episode, we are going to add a monthly bonus episode for paid members dedicated to TV shows. First up: Widow's Bay, which wraps up its first season June 17. We'll talk the whole first season of Apple TV's buzzy new show for an episode that should post that weekend (the 20th or 21st), depending on our own schedules! As for this week's episode: We discussed Dan Lin's plans for Netflix on the heels of his statement to the New York Times that Netflix is out of the theatrical game and then reviewed Masters of the Universe, a movie that has no reason to exist and seems to kind of resent its own existence. Weird place for a movie to be, tbh. If you have a good spot for another Fisto joke, leave it in the comments!

Have you ever noticed how hard it is to step away from your phone… even when your  mind and body is asking for a break?The texts, notifications, social media scrolling, and constant pressure to respond to that email can leave you  feeling wired, distracted, and disconnected from yourself. Your mind may say, “Just one more thing,” while your body is quietly tightening, bracing, or whispering that it needs space.And if you've been pushing through for years — caring for everyone else, managing work, family, caregiving, and the invisible weight of modern life — you are not broken. Your body may simply be responding to a world that rarely rewards you how to pause.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mary Donohue, founder and CEO of the Digital Wellness Center, whose work blends neuroscience, behavior, and technology. After living with chronic leukemia, caregiving stress, and surviving a heart attack, Mary began looking more closely at digital wellness and how constant connection affects the brain, body, and our ability to pause.Together, we talk about digital overload, micro breaks, nervous system regulation, social media anxiety, and stress-related illness. Mary shares why even a small pause can help your body settle and give you more space before you respond.In this episode, you'll learn:Why midlife women may be especially vulnerable to chronic stress How women over 50 can begin noticing the subtle body cues they've learned to overrideWhat micro breaks can offer when your mind and body feel overstimulatedHow social media anxiety can quietly shape your mood, focus, and sense of calmHow a simple 3 minute micro break can help you regulate you emotional well-being.The connection between technology and mental health in our everyday choicesHow your nervous system staying in a low-grade activation (fight or flight response) can show up without you even knowing it. IWhy giving back, connecting with others, and creating more joy can help you feel more groundedHow technology can become part of the solution when it is designed with human well-being in mindThis conversation is a gentle reminder that the pace of your life may be asking more of your body than it was ever meant to hold.You don't have to wait until you're exhausted, anxious, or completely overwhelmed to give yourself a pause. Sometimes one small moment of space is enough to help you start hearing what your body and brain have been trying to tell you all along.With love and freedom, LaurieClick here to purchase my “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” it's $29.99Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoClick here to watch the Barbie clip referenced in this podcastFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWebsiteConnect with Dr. Mary Donohue: Victoria on LinkedIn: Dr. Mary DonohueVictoria's email: drmaryedonahue@gmail.com RESOURCES MENTIONED:Digital Wellness Center: Founded by Dr. Mary Donohue, this science-backed platform helps people manage digital stress, take healthier microbreaks, and build more balanced technology habits. Message Received: A book written by Dr. Mary E.

Where Y'Eat: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love New Orleans Summer Dining

In this episode: one-more-year syndrome, worry & fear, mindfulness for financial independence, “enough” mindset, living freedom now with Pete Adeney (Mr. Money Mustache)Episode SummaryPete Adeney (Mr. Money Mustache) argues that the biggest trap on the path to financial independence isn't math, it's worry. He and Adam unpack how fear fuels “one-more-year syndrome,” why the same worry often follows people into retirement, and how perspective and mindfulness can help interrupt the brain's constant problem-finding loop. The conversation reframes freedom as something to practice now, not later, and challenges listeners to stop optimizing for worst-case scenarios at the expense of living.Guest BioPete Adeney, best known as Mr. Money Mustache, is a personal finance writer and long-time voice in the FIRE movement. After building an engineering career and saving aggressively, Pete retired before age 31 and began sharing what he was learning about spending less, investing simply, and building a life where work is optional.Resources & Books MentionedMr. Money MustacheDeep Work (Cal Newport)Guest Contact InformationMr. Money MustacheMMM Boot Camp email seriesKey TakeawaysName the real enemy: worry, it quietly turns FI into “one more year,” even when the math already works.Build “worry immunity” with perspective: notice how the mind invents problems (the HOA/mailbox example) and reality-check what's truly at stake.Use mindfulness to turn down the volume on fear stories so you can choose freedom now instead of optimizing for worst-case hypotheticals.Remember that “enough” is a practice: start living parts of the life you want today so retirement isn't a leap into the unknown.Join the Mindful FIRE Legends community at MindfulFIRE.org/join.PS: Introducing the…

Send us Fan MailThis week, we're recording from our newly named pub, The Admiral's Rest,  where conversations include kidney stones, children worrying about our mortality, and how artificial intelligence is getting dumber.We talk about the strange things kids fixate on when they're nine, the surprising number of jobs we've collected over the years, why buying used stuff feels like winning, and the growing realization that adulthood is mostly just trying to keep everyone calm while quietly Googling things yourself.Also: dog birthdays, darts, anxiety, work, aging, treasure hunting at thrift stores, and the possibility that pickled eggs may be a government experiment.Join us for another conversation about marriage 2.0, parenting, side quests, and whatever it is we're doing now instead of becoming responsible adults.Super Familiar with The Wilsons  Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us! familiarwilsons@gmail.comA Familiar Wilsons Production

Do you ever feel like you just can't stop worrying about your kids? No matter how old they get or how independent they become, your mind keeps replaying conversations, imagining worst-case scenarios, and searching for ways to make sure they'll be okay. If you're a mom navigating parenting teens or the empty nest and you find yourself doing this, you are so not alone. In this episode, I'm talking about why letting go can feel so incredibly hard in motherhood and what's really happening when we get stuck in overthinking and anxiety about our kids. I share a personal story about my son that helped me see how deeply our brains and nervous systems are wired to protect the people we love, and why worry can start to feel almost impossible to turn off.

Heaven is invading the earth. That's exactly why everything feels like chaos. The demonic spirits that have been hiding in darkness are being exposed. They're creating havoc on the way out. The devil needs your permission. This episode breaks down the difference between "can" and "may" in 1 Peter 5 — and why that one word changes things. The best of the church is yet to come. Don't compromise. Don't quit.

Why can't you stop worrying, even when you know it is not helping? Why does your mind keep spinning at 2 AM about things you cannot control? If you have ever wondered whether something deeper is going on underneath your anxiety, this message will name it.In this sermon, Pastor Brandon opens up Matthew 6:25 through 34, where Jesus addresses some of the most worried people on the planet. And he does not address it the way our culture does. He does not just tell them to think positive or take a few deep breaths. He does something stranger and more powerful. He kneels down in a field, picks a flower, and points to a flock of birds in the sky.Pastor Brandon walks through three layers of worry that Jesus speaks to in this one conversation. The intellectual layer, where worry is exposed as ineffective and a waste of time. The spiritual layer, where worry reveals a quiet theology of fear, a hidden belief that God might not really be in control or might not really care. And the emotional layer, where Jesus does not roll his eyes at the swirl of anxiety inside us. He meets it. He calms it. He shepherds his worried people the way no one else can.What makes this teaching land so deeply is one phrase Jesus uses that almost slips past us. He does not say a Father in heaven. He does not even say the Father. He says your heavenly Father. Pastor Brandon unpacks why that one little word changes everything. The God of the universe is not distant, cold, or indifferent. He is a Father. Your Father. He is near, he sees you, and he already knows what you need. The biggest problem with worry is not that it is annoying or unproductive. It is that, somewhere in our chest, it slowly crowds out our memory of who God actually is.The sermon also gets honest about a connection many of us have never noticed before. Worry can be the on ramp to sin. The more you worry about money, the easier it becomes to justify greed. The more you worry about your kids, the easier it becomes to drift into control. The more you worry about your reputation, the easier it becomes to bend the truth. Pastor Brandon names that pattern in a way that most of us will quietly recognize the moment we hear it.The good news at the heart of the message is that worry has met its match in Jesus Christ. Through his life, death, and resurrection, the broken relationship between you and the Father has been made whole. You are not a spiritual orphan trying to manage the universe alone. You have a Father who clothes the grass and feeds the birds and counts you immeasurably more valuable than either.If you have been quietly carrying more than you know how to carry, if your mind has been louder than your peace for a long time, this message is for you. There is real rest available, and it comes from a Savior who already knows everything that has been keeping you up at night.

You're thinking about things you can't control. The past. The future. What people think. What might happen. And it's draining you.

Free Guided Meditation for Calming Your Anxious Mind 10-Minute Body-Scan Meditation for AnxietyQuote:I've had a great many troubles in my life, most of which never happened.-Mark TwainSummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we delve into the pervasive habit of mental rehearsal that many anxious individuals engage in, often unconsciously. I share insights on how we tend to fixate on potential troubles—running through endless scenarios in our minds of what could go wrong. A significant focus of our discussion centers around the pitfalls of this "rehearsing trouble" practice, which can include anticipating rejection, imagining illnesses, and preparing for losses that may never occur. This mental activity not only stirs up unnecessary distress but also physically manifests in our bodies, leading to symptoms of anxiety and panic, all triggered by thoughts of events that haven't taken place.I emphasize the need to recognize that this script of catastrophic thinking doesn't serve our well-being. Instead, it often exacerbates feelings of unease and panic over situations that remain purely theoretical in our minds. The brain, in its protective nature, believes that rehearsing these painful scenarios will keep us safe, but I challenge this notion, questioning whether this form of preparation genuinely benefits us or simply weighs us down with borrowed suffering.Throughout our conversation, I share the metaphor of "mental rehearsal of catastrophe," shedding light on how this habit can lead to what I call "nervous system fatigue." The toll it takes on our energy and peace of mind is a significant concern. I reflect on how often we miss out on the present moment in our attempts to prepare for every possible outcome—a loss that may be even more painful than any future hardship itself. While anxiety can make us feel hyper-vigilant, I encourage listeners to find a way to detach from that excessive vigilance that proves exhausting and intrusive.#AnxietyRecovery, #MentalHealth, #Mindfulness, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #BorrowedSuffering, #Presence, #Resilience, #SelfCare, #MentalWellbeing, #Catastrophizing, #InnerPeace, #OvercomingAnxiety, #NervousSystemHealing, #Grounding, #StressManagement, #EmotionalWellness, #LivingInTheNow, #PositivePsychology, #SelfTrust, #WorryPostponement, #MentalRehearsal, #AnticipatoryAnxiety, #EmotionalRegulation, #MindBodyConnection, #Vagus nerve, #CalmConscious, #StopWorrying, #PanicAttackRecovery, #InnerCalm, #AnxiousMind, #SelfCompassion, #HolisticHealing, #NervousSystemRegulation, #PeaceOfMind, #MentalClarity, #CopingSkills, #PersonalGrowth, #WellnessJourney, #HealingJourney, #MindfulLiving, #OvercomingFear, #PsychologyTips, #CognitiveReframing, #MentalStrength, #InnerStrength, #Tranquility, #HealthAnxiety, #SocialAnxiety, #SelfSoothing #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Still anxious about something that might happen next week? If your brain keeps dragging you back to the same worries over and over, telling yourself to "just stop thinking about it" isn't going to work. In fact, research shows trying to suppress thoughts makes the worry come back even harder. But there's a science-backed play that can contain your worrying to a small window of time, and it works fast. Today, I'm walking you through exactly how to run it. Some of the things I talk about are: Why your brain treats unresolved problems like threats — and keeps sounding the alarm even when there's nothing you can do The "white bear effect" and why suppressing a worry guarantees it comes back stronger How worrying can cut your productivity in half The 5-step formula for scheduling time to worry — and why it works within days, not weeks How I used this exact play to manage my own anxiety about an issue I faced just this week The difference between problem-solving and worrying — and why confusing the two keeps you stuck Three mistakes that will make this play backfire Why giving your brain permission to worry is more powerful than trying to shut it down Related Episodes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 208 — Coping With Anxiety: An Anxiety Toolkit for Fast Relief⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 296 — 5 Ways to Build Emotional Strength When Life Keeps Knocking You Down Connect With the Show Get a signed copy of The Mental Strength Playbook Buy a copy of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Amy on Instagram —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AmyMorinAuthor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Visit my website —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AmyMorinLCSW.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sponsors MUDWTR - Get up to 43% off your entire order, plus free shipping and a free rechargeable frother when you use code STRONGER at ⁠⁠Mudwtr.com⁠⁠.

In this episode of High Theory, Kim talks to Ben Mangrum about Generic. A curious term that denotes both the conventions and rules of genre, and the impersonal or nameless quality of things like generic drugs or generic devices; the generic structures many of our cultural codes. Ben uses both senses to talk about the history of computing. He tells us about the surprising role the genre of comedy has played in our interactions with computers. Ben suggested that we reference Spike Jones's 2010 short film I'm Here as an example of computational comedy. In the episode Ben references Aziz Ansari and Eric Klinenberg's Modern Romance (Penguin Books 2016), a book of comedy and social critique about online dating, as well as classics like Agatha Christie's Muder on the Orient Express (Collins Crime Club 1934), William Gibson's Neuromancer (Ace Books 1984), and the film You've Got Mail (1998). He also talks about David Schumway's writing on screwball comedies, “Screwball Comedies: Constructing Romance, Mystifying Marriage” in Cinema Journal 30 no. 4 (Summer 1991): 7-23, doi: 0.2307/1224884, and Lauren Berlant's on genre, “Genre Flailing” in Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry 1 no. 2 (2018). If you want to learn more, check out Ben's book, The Comedy of Computation: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Obsolescence (Stanford 2025). In this cultural history of the computer, Ben shows that comedy has been central to how we've made sense of the technology's sweeping effects on public life and private experience. From the first Broadway play to include a computer in the 1950s to popular films and joke-telling digital assistants, many have used comedy to make the computer seem ordinary. Others have tried to stage the assimilation of computers within corporate life as a kind of comic drama. Mangrum describes these and many other ways in which comedy and computation have come together as a new genre of experience: the comedy of computation. Ben Mangrum works as an Associate Professor of Literature at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research examines topics ranging from the environmental humanities to twentieth-century “world literature” and the history of ideas and media underlying contemporary methods in the digital humanities. His first book, Land of Tomorrow: Postwar Fiction and the Crisis of American Liberalism, was published in 2019 by Oxford University Press.
