The entire facade crumbles when we learn to ask the right questions. Peace is not currently on the menu. The influencer flotilla is psyop operation. And, that's not Greta. Greece is helping the second flotilla. There will be diplomatic repercussions. Testing the waters in Gaza. The Israeli civilian victims. The UN says they committed crimes. Ukraine is on fire too. Programs cannot replicate programs. Evil counterfeits are not inventions. You are dangerous because you are uncontrolled. Elon is the lightning rod. Trump has done so much at great cost. Now that they're adrift, let's cut them loose. Remember to say what hasn't been said. What if Isreal was the most evil? The CCP runs the UN now. Turkey will be coming in hard. Counter-intel Islamafobia. Red string connections show unconscious links. They are pushing the collective to the breaking point. Stress pressure is a very cruel teacher. Evil is our creation, and we must judge it's fruits. It teaches us to see in the dark, and builds scaffolding for the truth. Did she say reherseauthority? Moving with the crowd does not mean safety. Beneath the showy performance is the truth. Those who do not choose must only adapt. Remember, when the programming wears off, love is the best operating code.

Hi! This podcast episode is centered around stress patterning. In this episode I get into great detail about why stress patterning is created, how stress patterning affects us, and ways to heal stress patterning (so the nervous system can feel much less burdened on a daily basis).

When life doesn't go as planned, we often slip in and out of presence—grounded one minute, resisting the next. In this episode, we explore what happens when we get caught in that tug-of-war between how things are and how we wanted them to be. It's a real-time look at how resistance shows up—and how, again and again, we can shift, partner with what's unfolding, embrace the flow of life, and discover more magic in our everyday experience.

C'est une très bonne question : est-il vrai que plus on s'enrichit, moins on dort ? La réponse est… nuancée. Il existe bien des études scientifiques qui montrent un lien entre statut socio-économique élevé et réduction du temps de sommeil, mais ce n'est pas systématique et les mécanismes en jeu sont complexes.Voici ce que dit la recherche :1. Les cadres supérieurs et les dirigeants dorment moinsDe nombreuses études ont constaté que les personnes occupant des postes à haute responsabilité dorment en moyenne moins que la population générale.Par exemple, une étude publiée dans Sleep Health en 2018 (Knutson & Lauderdale) a montré que chez les adultes américains, les personnes au revenu le plus élevé dormaient en moyenne 25 à 30 minutes de moins par nuit que celles des catégories de revenu moyen. Leurs horaires de travail plus intenses et l'hyper-connectivité en sont les principales causes.Une autre étude de l'université de Stanford (Synder & al., 2017), portant sur les CEO de grandes entreprises américaines, a montré que ces derniers dorment en moyenne 6 à 6,5 heures par nuit, bien en dessous des 7 à 9 heures recommandées par les experts du sommeil.2. Stress, charge mentale et sommeil fragmentéL'explication ne tient pas seulement au manque de temps. Le stress lié aux responsabilités, la charge mentale, et la pression de performance jouent aussi un rôle.Selon une recherche parue dans Journal of Occupational Health Psychology (2015), les cadres supérieurs et les entrepreneurs souffrent davantage de sommeil fragmenté et de troubles de l'endormissement, en lien direct avec le stress perçu.3. Les très riches et la logique de la “performance permanente”Une étude qualitative très intéressante publiée en 2021 par l'Université de Cambridge (Rachel Sherman) sur les pratiques des ultra-riches montre que dans les milieux fortunés, il existe souvent une culture implicite de la performance permanente. Le sommeil est parfois vu comme un “temps perdu” — ce qui conduit certains à le restreindre volontairement.4. Mais un paradoxe : les classes les plus pauvres dorment aussi malEnfin, il faut nuancer : d'autres études montrent que les personnes les plus pauvres dorment elles aussi moins bien, mais pour d'autres raisons (précarité, environnement bruyant, horaires décalés…).En France, le Baromètre Santé 2019 de Santé Publique France montrait ainsi que le manque de sommeil chronique touche plus de 35 % des personnes en situation de précarité.ConclusionIl est donc partiellement vrai que “plus on s'enrichit, moins on dort”, en particulier pour les cadres dirigeants et les ultra-riches, en raison de la charge mentale, du stress, et de normes sociales de surinvestissement professionnel.Mais les inégalités de sommeil concernent toutes les strates sociales : les plus pauvres dorment souvent mal, les plus riches dorment souvent moins — pour des raisons très différentes.

Führung beginnt bei einem selbst – auch auf dem Teller! In dieser Folge spricht Corinna Pommerening mit Gesundheitscoach und Ernährungsexpertin Wiebke Satz über das, was uns im hektischen (Business-)Alltag oft fehlt: Energie, Fokus und Balance. Wiebke zeigt, warum gesunde Ernährung viel mehr ist als Kalorienzählen oder Diättrends.

Wir gehen der Frage nach, warum Ernährung gerade heute – in Zeiten von Stress, Hybridarbeit und Reizüberflutung – ein echter Schlüssel zu nachhaltiger Leistungsfähigkeit und mentaler Stärke ist. Dazu gibt es viele praktische Tipps für alle, die viel leisten und trotzdem achtsam mit sich umgehen wollen. Freuen Sie sich auf eine Episode, die motiviert, die eigene Ernährung mit mehr Leichtigkeit und Klarheit neu zu denken – ohne Dogma, dafür mit Genuss und einem ganzheitlichen Blick auf Körper, Geist und Leadership.

Sedia piena di vestiti? Non è solo caos: la psicologia spiega cosa dice questo gesto sul nostro modo di vivere scuola e stress.

In today's episode, we explore the dance between surrender and action, how to let go of what we can't control and fiercely protect what lights us up. We journey to the Salt River at sunrise, drawing on the wisdom of the wild horses and the Stoic philosophy to remind us that peace doesn't come from fighting the current, but from flowing with it. We reflect on the importance of protecting our energy, of pouring ourselves into what inspires us, and of finding the courage to be different. We talk about the power of holding on when the world would let go, and how, like the river and the rising sun, we're always invited to begin again. Let this episode be your call to trust your path, to move with the current where you must, and to shape your life with unwavering purpose;this is your moment to rise.More from Eddie Pinero:Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletterYour World Within Podcast: https://yourworldwithin.libsyn.com/Stream these tracks on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2BLf6pBInstagram - @your_world_within and @IamEddiePineroTikTok - your_world_withinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/YourworldwithinTwitter - https://www.twitter.com/IamEddiePineroBusiness Inquiries - http://www.yourworldwithin.com/contact

Consider this: Stress will likely surge higher when you are uncertain about an outcome compared to when you're faced with a certainly bad outcome. Sounds wild, right?! Think about the scenarios though... Would you rather be told you're going to lose your job next month or have your boss tell you that there's a 50-50 chance you'll lose it during the next month? In those 50-50 scenarios, we can get stuck in a cycling stress response and no clear idea of what to do next to alleviate it. At least if you know you're going to lose your job, you have a clear next step: start job hunting. That's what we're digging into in this episode. We'll explore different types of uncertainty (estimation uncertainty, irreducible uncertainty, and volatility), why we stress over the unknown, and how to navigate these experiences in everyday life.

This week we have re-posting a brief insight to the fact that stress can play havoc on the immune system and we hope to have a new guest soon to discuss this weighty problem.  If you are a member of the health care community and would like to be a guest on our show to discuss how stress affects the immune system, please drop us a line at PodcastDX@yahoo.com.  Remember chronic stress = excessive cortisol and too much cortisol = a host of medical ailments.      Poor sleep  Cortisol levels are supposed to drop at nighttime, allowing your body to relax and recharge. But if your cortisol levels are too high, you might notice that, even if you've been tired all day, you get a second wind right around bedtime. Then you toss and turn all night – and feel tired again the next day.  Over time, high levels of cortisol deplete the adrenal glands and predispose you to chronic fatigue. So if you feel like your get up and go got up and went, you're probably stressed. ​  You're gaining weight, especially around your abdomen, even when you eat well and exercise.  Cortisol tends to make you thick around the middle, even when you're doing everything “right.”   You catch colds and other infections easily.  Cortisol deactivates your body's natural self-repair mechanisms, which means that your immune system which is perfectly designed by nature to keep you healthy goes caput, leaving you vulnerable to every cootie you encounter.    You crave unhealthy foods.  Cortisol raises your blood sugar, putting you at risk of diabetes. High glucose levels then bump up your insulin levels, which then drop your blood sugar it's a vicious cycle! ​  You experience backaches and headaches.  When your cortisol levels are high over a long period of time, your adrenal glands start to get depleted. This raises prolactin levels, increasing the body's sensitivity to pain, such as backaches and muscle aches. Excessive cortisol also hypersensitizes the brain to pain, such that even the slightest twinge can excite the nerves of the brain, causing headaches. ​  Lo-Libido  Consider cortisol the anti-Viagra.  When stress hormones are high, libido-inducing hormones like testosterone drop. ​  GI Issues.  Your gastrointestinal system is very sensitive to stress hormones like cortisol.  You might experience nausea, heartburn, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, or constipation as a result of too many stress hormones.    Emotional Problems.  Cortisol and epinephrine can lead to jitters, nervous stomach, feelings of panic, even paranoia.  High levels of cortisol suppress production of serotonin, and next thing you know, you're awash in doom and gloom. ​ Chronic High Cortisol=Adrenal Fatigue  When your cortisol levels are bumped up, day after day, your adrenal glands, responsible for the production of cortisol, get worn out. Precursor hormones required for cortisol production get depleted. This could result in full blown adrenal collapse.  (Credits: Dr Lissa Rankin M.D. https://binged.it/3xgOpDc )

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior! I thought about this word and action we do often in nursing…priming. We prime tubing with saline to prepare it for the solution we intend to get to the patient. You are making something ready for use by priming it. Let's relate this to our minds. Yes, we have stressful jobs in healthcare, but are we unintentionally priming your mind for stress and anxiety? Are we setting ourselves up to fail or succeed? Most of the time I think we un- intentionally- prime our minds for stress. And there are 2 main times we are doing this. Oops! Let's look into how we are priming our minds. While you are here….You are invited to a free, virtual, experiential Workshop! The Find More Time Workshop will help you reclaim your time, energy, and joy without adding more to your to-do list.

Stress is contagious—but so is calm. Which one are you spreading? Your team's performance depends on your answer. Stress Isn't the Problem—Staying Stuck Is We all experience stress, but remaining stuck in stress is where issues arise. Welcome back to Reflect Forward; I'm Kerry Siggins. Today we explore why stress is contagious and how leaders can effectively manage it. As leaders, our emotions significantly influence our teams. When stressed, our teams feel it too. When calm, we foster productivity and creativity. Why Stress is Contagious Mirror neurons, brain cells activated by observing actions or emotions, make stress contagious. A 2014 study in Psychological Science found simply seeing someone stressed can raise cortisol levels, increasing our stress response. Our body language often communicates more powerfully than words. A recent personal experience reminded me how critical managing facial expressions and posture is to maintaining a calm team environment. Why Managing Your Stress Matters Unchecked leader stress leads to: • Fearful, defensive cultures • Burnout and increased turnover • Lost credibility and trust Effective leadership starts with managing your emotional presence. Key Takeaways: Six Tips for Managing Stress 1. Practice Self-Awareness: Regularly identify and address stressors. 2. Breathe Before You Speak: Breathing deeply shifts your mindset from reactive to thoughtful. 3. Normalize, Don't Amplify Stress: Acknowledge stress calmly and communicate solutions. 4. Create Stress Recovery Rituals: Use exercise, journaling, meditation, or quiet walks to recharge. 5. Embrace the Ownership Mindset: Focus on controlling your response, not external circumstances. 6. Keep Perspective: Today's challenges are temporary. Maintain a measured approach. Weekly Action Items • Conduct an energy audit to pinpoint stressors. • Adopt one new stress-management practice immediately. • Lead with resilience, pausing and reflecting before reacting. Calm and chaos are contagious—choose wisely. Self-leadership is foundational to leading others effectively. If you found this helpful, please share, subscribe, and leave a review.

Tara has spent nearly 20 years bridging the gap between neuroscience and education. An experienced educator, consultant, and speaker, Tara collaborates with educators and advocates worldwide. She can demystify common misconceptions in learning and discuss how neuroplasticity has the potential to reshape education as we know it.The ability of our brains to change and adapt throughout life offers powerful opportunities for maintaining cognitive health as we age. Neuroeducation expert Tara Bonner discusses how neuroplasticity works, explaining that our brains are constantly changing in response to experiences, habits, and mental challenges.• As we age, our brains naturally experience decreased processing speed, memory challenges, and reduced cognitive flexibility• Repeated exposure and focused practice of any activity will change brain connectivity – for better or worse• Stress, trauma, and addiction can negatively rewire the brain, while novel experiences create positive neural pathways• Critical thinking abilities may be weakening due to convenience culture and passive information consumption• Social engagement, especially intergenerational connections, provides essential brain stimulation• Physical activity, proper nutrition, quality sleep, and stress management all contribute to brain health• Seeking novelty and embracing challenges keeps the brain actively creating new neural connections• The brain thrives on "effortful processing" – activities that are slightly challenging rather than automatic• Cognitive programming can target specific brain functions like critical thinking and processing speedLearn more about cognitive programming and brain fitness resources at ArrowsmithCA.

If you're struggling with acne, breakouts, or dull skin, this episode is for you.  In the functional health world, we see skin issues not as isolated surface problems but as signs of deeper internal imbalances. I'll walk you through the five core systems I assess when working with clients dealing with chronic acne. From gut health to hormones, blood sugar, liver detox, and nervous system regulation.  You'll learn how issues like leaky gut, hormonal imbalances, or poor liver detox can manifest as inflammation on your skin. I also dive into the role of insulin resistance, stress, and environmental toxins in making things worse. Instead of quick-fix treatments, we focus on targeted strategies like comprehensive stool and hormone testing, food and supplement protocols, and lifestyle shifts that actually address the root cause.  I'll also share what I look for in test results, what symptoms matter most and what you can start doing now to support clearer skin from the inside out.  Whether your breakouts are linked to PMS, stress, or digestive issues, you'll leave this episode with clarity and next steps.
