From hospital incentive structures to medical education shaped by patentable therapies, they expose why prevention, metabolic health, peptides, stem cells, and bioidentical hormones remain on the margins.This episode dives into regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy, GLP-1s beyond weight loss, immune resilience, the energetic drivers of disease, and why AI may amplify the need for true human connection in medicine.If you have ever felt like “standard of care” is missing something, this conversation explains why and what comes next.What You'll Learn:The ER moment that made Dr. Vass walk away from conventional medicineWhy hospitals are financially rewarded for procedures, not preventionThe hidden reason non-patentable therapies rarely get taughtWhat peptides (BPC-157, thymosin, GHK-Cu) actually do in the bodyHow stem cells heal tissue and whether they increase cancer riskWhy metabolic dysfunction drives cancer and chronic diseaseThe overlooked role of stress and immune suppression in illnessEpisode Timeline:01:00 Meet Dr. Vass: From ER Physician to Regenerative Medicine Pioneer02:00 Risk, flow state, and longevity07:30 The dark truth about ER medicine10:26 Dr. Jenn's “this system is broken” moment14:07 Dr. Vass' breaking point (and why he left)20:21 Why doctors are not trained in prevention23:13 Patentable medicine and the education pipeline42:15 Patients are forcing the shift47:56 AI, the future of doctors, and the art of medicine57:40 Stress, immunity, and the energetic side of disease01:00:36 Peptides, explained simply01:17:38 Stem cells: what they do and what the data suggests01:29:04 Where to find Dr. Vass + closingWhere to find Dr. Vassily Eliopoulous, MD:Website: longevityhealth.clinic/Instagram: www.instagram.com/dr.vassily/To talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with Dr. Jenn visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/clarity-callTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons
Do you ever find yourself standing in front of the fridge at 6 PM just staring into the light? It is that heavy feeling of being completely "done" for the day. It is not just physical fatigue. It is your brain telling you it has nothing left to give. I have been there so many times and I want you to know that it is not a failure of willpower. This week is a little different because it is just you and me. I wanted to sit down and have a real heart to heart about why staying healthy feels so incredibly hard right now. We are living in such a loud and polarizing world when it comes to nutrition and honestly it is exhausting. I am sharing the concept of the Brain Bank Account which has been a total game changer for how I manage my own energy. We are moving away from the "shoulds" and looking at how to build gentle systems that actually hold you up when life gets messy.Here's what we dive into:- Why the world of nutrition feels so loud and confusing and how to find your own quiet center again.- How to use the Brain Bank Account method to stop overdrawing your internal energy.- What happens to our brains when we hit that 3 PM slump and how to nourish our way through it.- Why making decisions about food is actually one of the most taxing things we do every day.- How to align your natural biological rhythms with your busy social life without the stress.- What the Great British Veg Out is all about and why adding more is always better than taking away.- Why your health is individual and how to stop comparing your "off days" to someone else's highlight reel.Love, Sarah Ann

Everyone seems more stressed than ever — and oddly, some people even wear it like a badge of honor. But chronic stress isn't something to brag about. It quietly alters the way you think. It amplifies worry, exaggerates threats, narrows your options, and makes worst-case scenarios feel not just possible, but probable. Over time, stress doesn't just affect your mood — it reshapes your perception, your judgment, and the decisions you make. And because the shift happens gradually, you often don't realize it's happening at all. Clinical psychologist Arthur Ciaramicoli has spent decades studying stress and its impact on the brain and behavior. In this conversation, he explains what's actually happening neurologically when stress rises — how your brain shifts into a more reactive mode, why you become more negative and less flexible in your thinking, and how chronic stress can trap you in a self-reinforcing loop. We also explore why modern life seems perfectly designed to keep stress levels elevated and why simply “relaxing” isn't a realistic solution. Most importantly, Arthur shares practical, science-based strategies to interrupt the cycle — techniques you can use in the moment to calm your nervous system, widen your perspective, and prevent stress from distorting your thinking. If you've ever made a decision under pressure and later wondered, “What was I thinking?” — this episode will help you understand exactly what was happening and how to prevent it next time.

Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated, which disrupts sleep, slows physical recovery, blunts training progress, and prevents your body from fully resetting day to day Clinical research shows ashwagandha consistently lowers cortisol, helping shift your body out of constant defense mode and back into repair and recovery Benefits extend beyond stress relief, including improvements in sleep quality, energy stability, hormonal balance, endurance capacity, and post-exercise recovery Ashwagandha works best when paired with stress-lowering habits like consistent sleep timing, appropriate exercise volume, and steady blood sugar from adequate carbohydrate intake Consistent daily use over eight weeks or longer aligns with the strongest improvements, allowing stress signaling to calm so performance and resilience rebuild naturally
In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Justin Marchegiani to explain why thyroid health is really a whole body conversation, not just a gland problem. You'll learn how thyroid hormone impacts energy, body temperature, mood, digestion, and stress resilience. They also unpack why so many thyroid cases have an autoimmune layer and what that means for your next steps. You'll hear why Dr. Justin says thyroid issues often show up alongside gut and liver dysfunction, and why focusing only on medication can miss the real roadblocks. He breaks down how T4 becomes active T3 and how stress, inflammation, and nutrient gaps can slow that conversion down. You'll leave with a clearer way to think about what to support first so your metabolism can respond. You'll learn the link between insulin resistance and sluggish thyroid output, plus how blood sugar data can help you personalize your nutrition instead of guessing. They share simple markers to pay attention to after meals and why consistency matters more than perfection. You'll also hear why stress can spike glucose fast and how a short walk can be one of the quickest ways to bring things back down.

Today's show is part of our Community Spotlight Series, where we feature PassivePockets members who share hard-won lessons to help other LPs invest smarter. Christine Kwasny joins Chris Lopez to walk through a detailed retrospective on her syndication portfolio, what she thought she was buying, what actually happened, and what she'll do differently going forward. Christine started investing actively in 2008, building a Portland-area rental portfolio (single-family renovations that eventually grew into fourplexes). After moving abroad in 2013, she shifted into syndications in 2019–2020 but like many investors, she later found that several 2021–2022 vintage deals didn't play out the way pro formas suggested, which triggered a deep review of her entire process. In this conversation, Christine breaks down the biggest errors she sees investors make (including “set it and forget it”), how distributions can mask problems, how LPs can quietly fall down the capital stack, and how she used AI to analyze years of offering materials and quarterly reports across 30+ investments. She also shares her “Market Metronome” framework, a simple way to sanity-check underwriting assumptions against real historical ranges and market cycles. Key Takeaways “Passive is a tax and legal term, not a verb”: why syndications often require more scrutiny than owning your own rentals How distributions and quarterly reports can create false confidence—and what to look for in the core updates Capital stack drift: how mezz/preferred equity can change your risk even without a capital call Using AI to accelerate due diligence: summarizing OMs, tracking quarter-by-quarter changes, and stress-testing assumptions The “Market Metronome”: a practical way to pressure-test pro formas against historic highs/lows and cycle reality Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Entrepreneur Wellness: Supplements, Stress, and Emotional Vitality "Modern medicine lies to us about that. It does say that we are symptoms to be managed, not people to be healed." In Episode 480 of Richer Soul, Rocky Lalvani sits down with Jared St. Clair, owner of Vitality Nutrition and host of Vitality Radio, for a grounded conversation about what it really takes to rebuild health and "the promise of vitality." Jared shares how he grew up in a family health food store (working there from age 7, managing it at 15, and buying it at 22), why trust in modern medicine has eroded, and why he believes the body must be treated as a connected system, not isolated parts. The episode also dives into Jared's "Vital 5" supplement framework, the risks he associates with long-term use of PPIs like Nexium/Prilosec, and the deeper mindset work he calls "emotional vitality," including the story of his wife Jen's long journey from decades of psych meds to being off them for about six years. 7 Soul-Level Insights from Jared St. Clair: Jared learned "money up close" through entrepreneurship. He describes the up-and-down nature of entrepreneurial income, "leaner years" and "better years", and how that shaped his mindset growing up. He took on real responsibility early and built mastery through repetition. Jared started working at 7, was helping customers by 14, managed the store at 15, hired his first employee at 16, and bought the business at 22. Before the internet, natural health meant books + tradition, not PubMed. Jared explains that there was no internet and very little clinical study of nutraceuticals, so he learned through foundational books and lived experience. Trust in medicine has eroded, and healthcare has become political. Jared says trust is "eroded substantially" and describes polarization after COVID, where the same intervention is perceived differently depending on who promotes it. Treating the body like separate "parts" creates blind spots. Jared critiques fragmented care (specialists not challenging each other) and emphasizes that systems (like heart and lungs) are inseparable. Jen's Story shows what Jared calls Emotional Vitality (supplements + diet + mindset). Jared shares that Jen had anxiety/depression since 13, was on psych meds most of her life, and after a long, cautious weaning process has been off pharma meds ~6 years and no longer deals with anxiety/depression the same way. Start simple: "The Vital 5." Jared recommends a baseline for many adults over ~35: omega‑3s, magnesium (he favors bisglycinate for most people), a high-quality multivitamin, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. Why This Conversation Matters A lot of people are doing "all the right things" and still feel stuck, tired, anxious, inflamed, or dependent on symptom-management strategies that never resolve the root. Jared's message is a reminder that vitality is built on foundations: digestion, nutrition, and mindset, and that the body is a connected system, not a collection of separate departments. It's also a practical wake-up call: quality matters. If your supplement supply chain is unreliable, you can't trust your results, and Jared explains why he's cautious about where products come from. Money Learning Jared grew up in an entrepreneurial household and learned firsthand that financial life can be cyclical. He describes feeling like his family could "figure it out," even when money was tight—and later stepped into ownership responsibility young, buying the store at 22 and building a life around serving customers over decades. Key Takeaway You're not just a set of symptoms to manage. Jared challenges the "managed forever" mindset and shares what he believes creates real change: better inputs, better foundations, and better internal programming. Guest Bio: Jared St. Clair Jared St. Clair is the owner of Vitality Nutrition and host of the Vitality Radio podcast. He says he started working in his family's health food store at age 7, began managing it at 15, hired his first employee at 16, and bought the store at 22. At the time of recording, he says he's 53, has owned the store for 31 years, and has worked there for 45 years.

Audit digestion + inputs: if you're relying on symptom suppression (like long-term reflux meds), revisit foundations and get support before changing anything.

Send a textDiscrimination and minority stress can create a chronic nervous-system load: not only dealing with the moment, but also anticipating bias, managing risk, and constantly scanning for safety and belonging. In this episode, we explore minority stress as an accumulation of experiences—overt discrimination, microaggressions, stereotyping, exclusion, and the invisible effort of code-switching or masking. Using simple polyvagal-informed language, we look at how chronic vigilance can keep the body in mobilised protection or shutdown, and we offer practical ways to support regulation without minimising the reality of the environment. We close with a short grounding practice focused on orienting to neutral and welcoming cues, and anchoring a sense of belonging in the self.In this episode, you'll learnA clear definition of minority stress and why it belongs in a trauma-types seriesHow accumulation and anticipation create chronic nervous-system strainPolyvagal-informed patterns: hypervigilance and shutdown in response to “not-safe-enough” environmentsThe “double load” of code-switching, masking, and constant self-monitoringCommon signs (non-diagnostic): tension, sleep disruption, avoidance, over-performing, numbnessWhat helps: low-demand belonging, boundary micro-skills, resourcing after exposure, supportive validationA grounding practice designed for belonging and present-moment safety cuesGrounding practice (2–3 minutes): “Orient + Belonging Cue”Find one neutral objectFind one welcoming cue (colour, light, texture)Supportive posture with feet on the floorPhrase: “I belong to myself” (or “I'm allowed to take up space”)Longer exhale releaseCheck the website for the free resources offered for both those affected by trauma and those supporting them.What's next: Society-Shaped Trauma (Part 2): Poverty, Insecurity & Social ExclusionSupport the show
Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Bridging Two Worlds: Dr. Amir Marvasti on Purpose, Humanizing Eye Care, and LegacyHost Savia Rocks opens Season 7 of the Us People Podcast with a focus on creativity, shedding cultural trauma, finding purpose, and leaving a legacy that benefits humanity. She interviews Dr. Amir Marvasti, an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon, who shares his background of being born in Texas, raised in Iran until age 18, and then immigrating to the U.S. to rebuild his life in California describing how living between Eastern and Western cultures shaped his identity. Amir explains the contrasting influences of his parents: his father (also an ophthalmologist) modeled discipline, hard work, and goal-driven sacrifice, while his mother modeled a different kind of sacrifice centered on family, along with openness, emotion, and adaptability; he describes himself as a bridge carrying both energies. He discusses defining himself beyond titles, emphasizing that doctors are human, and says his fulfillment comes from helping others especially opening doors for people who were told they could not succeed while connection is central to his sense of purpose and how he evaluates himself when he ‘looks in the mirror.' On peace, Amir frames it as accepting what is out of his control while doing his best with what is within his control. 00:00 Meet Savia Rocks + The Legacy Mindset (Season 7 Teaser)01:10 Welcome to Season 7: Introducing Dr. Amir Marvasti (Ophthalmologist)03:06 Amir's Origin Story: Growing Up Between Iran & the U.S.04:53 Parents, Sacrifice & Identity: Discipline vs Openness08:25 Mirror Question: Purpose, Fulfillment & Being More Than a Title14:52 Connection, Grief & Hard Conversations After Losing His Mother15:58 A Day in the Life of an Ophthalmologist: Humanizing Vision Care21:08 Silent Eye Diseases & Elective Surgery: Glaucoma, Checkups, LASIK22:53 Why Ophthalmology?

In this Episode of the Secure Your Retirement Podcast, Radon and Murs discuss why retirement stress, retirement anxiety, and fear around market volatility are rarely about the markets themselves—and almost always about unanswered questions. After years of uncertainty driven by inflation, interest rate changes, and economic shocks, many people approaching retirement realize that stress doesn't come from short-term market swings, but from not having a clear retirement financial plan. Without a defined withdrawal strategy, retirement income planning, tax planning in retirement, and estate planning basics, even strong market years can still feel overwhelming.Listen in to learn about how holistic financial planning creates true peace of mind in retirement. Radon and Murs break down how retirement risk management, income planning in retirement, Social Security planning, Medicare planning, long-term care planning, and tax planning strategies work together to reduce anxiety. By focusing on structure—rather than speculation—you can build retirement confidence, follow a clear retirement checklist, and move toward retiring comfortably with a plan designed to secure your retirement.In this episode, find out:Why retirement anxiety is driven more by unanswered questions than market volatilityHow the Three Bucket Strategy supports income planning, withdrawal strategy, and retirement confidenceThe five critical areas of retirement planning, including tax planning, Medicare planning, and estate planningHow holistic financial planning helps manage required minimum distributions and early retirement strategyWhy having a written retirement financial plan reduces stress and supports peace of mind in retirementTweetable Quotes:“A bad market day won't ruin your retirement, and a great market day won't make it successful—it's the plan that matters.” — Radon Stancil“Retirement stress fades when every part of your retirement financial plan is being monitored, implemented, and nurtured.” — Murs TariqResources:If you are in or nearing retirement and you want to gain clarity on what questions you should be asking, learn what the biggest retirement myths are, and identify what you can do to achieve peace of mind for your retirement, get started today by requesting our complimentary video course, Four Steps to Secure Your Retirement!To access the course, simply visit POMWealth.net/podcast.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton unpack what happens when the call doesn't end at end-of-shift—when the scenes, decisions, vigilance, and emotional load (Amazon Affiliate) of the job quietly cross the threshold into your home. You may leave the station, but your nervous system doesn't clock out. The mental replay, emotional containment, and constant readiness that keep you effective in the field can make it difficult to be fully present, emotionally available, or at ease with the people you love most. This episode explores how operational stress migrates into family dynamics, why responders often don't notice it happening, and what it takes to create a true psychological boundary between work and home.

Stress is a very real part of our lives. How we manage stress can have healthy or unhealthy consequences. Fortunately, one tool we should be using to soothe stress in one another is stress-reducing conversations. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Kaleb Beyer, Craig Stickling, and Brian Sutter explain how to have these purposeful conversations. Show notes: What is stress-related conversation? A conversation that has at its purpose the intention of soothing the emotions in a stress heightened individual and thereby reducing their stress levels. What qualities are present in stress-reducing conversation? Active listening, attending presence, non-judgement, non-criticizing, empathetic agreement. What should your posture be for being a stress-reducing partner in a conversation? Have an eye towards being on the same team with the other. What are some different applied contexts for stress-reducing conversations? Marriage: Look for them with your spouse if you are married. Family: Look for them with your kids if you are a parent. Neighbors: Look for them with community members. What good are stress-reducing conversations beyond reducing stress? Stress-reducing conversations build the safety to eventually step into conversations with other purposes such as conflict resolution or corrective conversations. How do I carry out stress-reducing conversations when I disagree with the person that has heightened stress? Separate the matter of disagreement from the person. Connect with the person first. Then when safety is achieved and we are on a team together, voicing disagreement can happen in effective ways. What makes stress-reducing conversations difficult? Fixating on accuracy. Fixating on solutions. Inability to detect emotions. Inability to stay present with a person. What does it mean to be intentional with stress-reducing conversations? Have conversations with the express purpose to be stress relieving. Select topics thoughtfully that you can be "on the same team" about. What is at stake if loved ones don't engage each other in stress-reducing conversations? We might look for stress-reducing conversations from unsafe sources such as AI or other people.

Steven Forth is a pricing strategist and AI innovator with decades of experience building value-based pricing models. As the founder of Value IQ, he blends rigorous pricing theory with emerging AI applications—often pushing the boundaries of how pricing professionals think about data, modeling, and buyer behavior. In this episode, Mark and Steven step into another live debate aka 'intellectual challenge' about AI-generated synthetic data with real pushback, not polite agreement. They challenge whether synthetic data is a breakthrough for pricing or just smarter-looking "fake data" that distances us from buyers. What unfolds is an unscripted stress test of the idea itself, and it ends with a surprisingly human conclusion you should definitely listen to. What You'll Learn in This Episode: What synthetic data actually is—and how it differs from simply "making up numbers." Where synthetic data becomes dangerous, especially when assumptions about buyer behavior go untested. Why even the most advanced AI modeling cannot replace direct conversations with buyers. "Go out and talk to buyers and understand their buying process." – Steven Forth Topics Covered: 00:00 – Why synthetic data is suddenly a pricing topic. Steven introduces Value IQ and the idea behind AI-generated pricing intelligence. The setup: why synthetic data is gaining attention—and why Mark is skeptical from the start. 03:45 – What is synthetic data (without the buzzwords)? A plain-language definition of synthetic data and how it differs from CRM or ERP history. Why backward-looking data limits pricing strategy. 06:30 – The "fake data" objection. Mark challenges the idea head-on: Isn't this just inventing numbers? A sharp exchange on statistical misuse, p-values, and the danger of generating data that simply confirms what you want to see. 09:30 – Interpolation vs. extrapolation in pricing models. Why most pricing data isn't normally distributed. Discussion of fat tails, clustering, segmentation signals, and what synthetic data might distort—or reveal. 12:30 – The three types of synthetic data. Steven outlines three practical applications. (1) AI-generated buyer simulations. (2) Stress-testing value and pricing models. (3) Modeling competitive and economic scenarios. This is where the conversation moves from theory to use cases. 16:30 – Can AI predict buyer behavior? Mark pushes the core issue: pricing changes behavior. So how can synthetic data anticipate it? A discussion about assumptions, validation, and ground truth. 20:00 – A practical example: AI-driven Van Westendorp studies. A concrete scenario: simulate 100 real buyers, test pricing sensitivity, validate with actual survey data, and refine the model. A tangible way to experiment responsibly. 23:30 – The risk: Are we moving further from real buyers? The philosophical tension of the episode. Does synthetic data create insight—or another buffer between pricing teams and customers? 26:30 – The surprisingly human conclusion. After 25 minutes of AI debate, Steven's final advice is simple and grounded: talk to buyers and understand their buying process. 29:00 – Closing thoughts and where to connect. How to reach Steven and Mark—and a final reminder that AI is a tool, not a substitute for customer insight. Key Takeaway: "Synthetic data is data that is generated for you by your AI." – Steven Forth "With synthetic data, you can explore scenarios that do not yet exist or parts of the market you do not yet touch." – Steven Forth People and Resources Mentioned: Craig Zawada – Former McKinsey partner, co-creator of the pocket price waterfall; now Chief Strategy Officer at PROS Benoit Mandelbrot – Referenced in the discussion about fat-tailed distributions and why pricing data is often not normally distributed. Pocket Price Waterfall – A pricing analytics framework originally developed at McKinsey. Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter – Used as a practical example of how synthetic data could simulate buyer responses. Conjoint Analysis – Discussed as a potential future application for synthetic respondents. Bayesian Updating / Bayesian Statistics – Mentioned as a way to iteratively improve models by aligning synthetic data with real-world results. Interpolation vs. Extrapolation – Statistical concepts debated in the context of synthetic modeling. Normal vs. Fat-Tailed Distributions – Discussion on why pricing data often violates normal distribution assumptions.

Diets can be a reminder of what no can feel like. The issue occurs that over time a no somatically gets connected with deprivation and restriction. So when you really don't want to eat something, a no sends your body into a survival response. It can feel like you're not allowed to say no because now all you feel is tight, tense, and constricted. And then anti diet culture swoops in and tells you that you're allowed to eat and to eat everything and this can push you further away from listening to what would resonate most with you. What I find is missing from this process is updating your body that all responses are safe. Yes, no, and maybe. In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Alexandra Gajer, founder of The Gajer Practice and board-certified physician, about: Her disillusionment with conventional medicineThe role of gut health in well beingSimplifying nutrition and movementThe overlooked crucial importance of sleepCreating evening rituals for better sleep Building habits that care for you and your bodyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/simplifying-nutrition-and-movementEnjoy this week's episode and "see" you all next week!

In this episode of Just a Little Salt, licensed counselor Kimberly Ingram dives deep into the unique challenges first responders face in their relationships. Drawing on her extensive experience working with law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other public safety professionals, Kimberly sheds light on the impact of shift work, chronic stress, and trauma on emotional connection at home. They discuss common misconceptions about therapy, the critical need for culturally competent mental health support, and how partners can build stronger communication even amid the toughest schedules. Kimberly also explores the delicate balance between a first responder's identity and personal life, the risks of emotional distancing, and practical advice for couples recovering from infidelity.
Here's a scenario for you: You get up to start your day and you get a phone call or text message with some disturbing news. As a result of that news, you decide not to go to work. This creates a problem with your boss, and it leads to deeper problems at work, which leads to disciplinary action, which could lead to dismissal. All of this happened because you didn't protect your mind from the thoughts that lead to your decision. Your mind starts the day. Don't let your mind control your spirit and thereby control your actions. So, the question is how do we protect our minds from thoughts that could negatively impact our lives? As usual, Scripture has the answer. Join us in hearing this message that could help you.
https://teachhoops.com/ Coaching stress is an inherent part of the profession, often peaking during the high-stakes games of February as the postseason looms. The pressure doesn't just come from the scoreboard; it stems from the weight of managing player egos, parent expectations, and the constant "mental gymnastics" of tactical adjustments. To survive and thrive, a coach must develop an "Emotional Anchor"—a set of non-negotiable personal rituals that exist outside of the win-loss column. Whether it's a morning workout, a dedicated ten minutes of mindfulness, or simply stepping away from the film room to spend time with family, these boundaries prevent the "coaching bubble" from becoming a vacuum that consumes your mental well-being. One of the most effective tactical ways to reduce stress is through radical preparation and "systemic trust." Stress often thrives in ambiguity. When you have a clearly documented "Late-Game Menu," a set "Practice Roadmap," and a firm "Communication Protocol" for parents, you remove the fear of the unknown. You aren't "reacting" to chaos; you are "executing" a pre-determined plan. In the heat of a conference rivalry, your stress levels will be significantly lower if you know exactly which "special situation" play you're calling before the timeout even starts. By "over-preparing" your systems, you allow yourself to remain a "calm captain" for your players when the storm of the game is at its peak. Finally, the most powerful antidote to coaching stress is connection and community. As we've discussed, being "alone in the coaching crowd" is a primary driver of burnout. Utilizing TeachHoops member calls or reaching out to a coaching mentor provides the perspective needed to realize that your "crises" are often shared experiences. Sharing the burden of a difficult decision—like handling a selfish player or navigating a losing streak—with someone who has "been there" provides immediate psychological relief. When you realize that your value as a leader is not solely tied to a trophy, you gain the freedom to coach with joy and authenticity, which ironically often leads to the very success you were stressed about achieving.
