THE GUADALCANAL SHOESTRING AND COMMAND STRESS Colleague Craig Symonds. To preempt a Japanese airfield, King pushed for an offensive at Guadalcanal despite inadequate resources. Nimitz managed this "shoestring" operation while balancing the needs of his struggling subordinate, Admiral Ghormley, against King'sdemand for action. Amidst the stress, Nimitz found relief in a disciplined routine, power-walking ten miles daily and visiting the Walker family to escape office pressures. Meanwhile, King's animosity toward Admiral Fletcher grew, largely stemming from the loss of Wake Island and a perception that Fletcher was too concerned with fuel logistics.

It is December 28th—that strange gap between Christmas and New Year. Let me ask you a question: How many times have you looked at your phone already today?.It is easy to open an app and see the "highlight reel" of everyone else's life—the matching pajamas, the immaculate tables, and those perfect smiles. This constant scrolling creates a trap of comparison, making you feel like your holiday wasn't enough or that you didn't do enough.This is "digital noise"—a low-level static buzzing in the back of your brain and stealing your joy.In today's session, Martin (Clinical Hypnotherapist) guides you through a powerful Digital Detox Visualization. We won't throw your phone in a river, but we will take your mind to a place where the signal cannot reach you.In this episode, you will:Unplug the Mental Router: Visualize placing your phone face down on a hallway table and pulling the plug on your Wi-Fi router to stop the frantic blinking lights.Escape to the Wild: Step out of your back door and into an ancient, deep forest where the trees reach up like pillars of a cathedral.Experience Biophilic Sound: Learn how natural sounds—like the rustle of wind and the snap of a twig—soothe the brain instantly.Watch the Signal Drop: Visualize the signal bars on your internal phone dropping from three, to two, to one, until you have "no service" and are completely free.Find What is Real: Realize that pixels on a screen are not real, but the breath in your lungs and the ground beneath your feet are.Your life, with all its messiness and imperfections, is real and valid. You do not need to perform for an audience; you just need to be.A Note from Martin: "Discard those negative anchors that have ever held you back, embrace your true potential.".Connect & Support: If this escape helped you find peace, please subscribe to Calming Anxiety.Next Step: When you open your eyes, try not to reach for the screen immediately—look at something real, like the sky or your hands.Smile often, and be kind.

Die wichtigste Übung beginnt, wenn du mit Üben aufhörst.Diese Folge lädt dich ein, dein ganzes Leben als Qi Gong zu begreifen – als lebendiges Übungsfeld, in dem alles zur Entwicklung beitragen kann.

  Es gibt ein Leben auch nach Weihnachten. Warum sage ich das? Weil ich erlebe, dass so viele Menschen unendlich im Stress sind. Und ich denke mir nur: Ey, ihr seid doch völlig crazy. Alle hampeln rum – keine Zeit mehr, alles stressig, vor Weihnachten noch dies und das. Weißt du was? Hör auf mit diesem Kasperltheater. Mach dieses Theater einfach nicht mit. Das ist eine Frage deiner Einstellung. Ich habe es bei mir selbst gemerkt: Stress wirkt ansteckend. Und als würde es danach kein Leben mehr geben. Das stimmt einfach nicht. Es gibt ein Leben auch nach Weihnachten. Es gibt ein Leben auch nach Silvester. Diese Hektik hat mich auch kurz erwischt – Fernsehsendung, Weihnachtsfeier, Termine. Und dann habe ich eine Entscheidung getroffen: Ich mache das nicht mehr mit. Ich ändere meine Pläne. Das wünsche ich mir auch für dich. Ich höre so oft: Weihnachten müssen wir hierhin, dahin, zu den Schwiegereltern. Eigentlich wollen viele einfach nur ihre Ruhe. Und dann frage ich mich: Warum verratet ihr euch selbst? Warum tut ihr Dinge, die euch keinen Spaß machen? Aber ich muss das nicht verstehen. Es ist dein Leben. Nimm dein Leben in deine Hände. Mach eine Meisterleistung daraus. Achte auf dich. Komm in deine Kraft. Ich habe mich davon losgelöst. Ich habe einen Podcast aufgenommen – der ist nicht perfekt, aber egal. Mut zur Lücke. Freu dich deines Lebens. Dann kommst du in die Gelassenheit – die drei berühmten G's: glücklich, gesund und gelassen. Das sind die wichtigsten Parameter. Geh in die Reflexion: Ist das wirklich dein Leben? Hast du es dir so vorgestellt? Geht es dir gut damit? Und: Du brauchst kein schlechtes Gewissen. Ich sehe meine Mutter regelmäßig. Kein Stress. Andere sehen ihre Eltern kaum. Dieser dauernde Stress kostet unfassbar viel Energie. Diese Hektik hat sich eingebürgert – aber du kannst aussteigen. Zuerst mental. Dann ganz praktisch. Du musst nicht stolz sein, viele Termine zu haben. Ich bin stolz, wenig Termine zu haben und gelassen zu sein. Nimm Druck raus. Du musst gar nichts. Du musst einfach nur atmen. Nimm dir jeden Tag eine stille Stunde und frag dich: Ist das mein Leben? Geht es mir gut? Was kann ich ändern? Denn am Ende kannst du alles ändern. Irgendwann ist es sowieso vorbei. In diesem Sinne: viel Kraft, viel Liebe – enjoy your life. Dein Ernst. #Gelassenheit #KeinStress #LebenNachWeihnachten #Achtsamkeit #Selbstverantwortung #DruckRaus #GlücklichGesundGelassen #EnjoyyourLife #Ernstcrameri Hier findest du eine Übersicht aller aktuellen Seminare https://crameri.de/Seminare  Crameri-Akademie Wenn Du mehr über diesen Artikel erfahren möchtest, dann solltest Du Dich unbedingt an der folgenden Stelle in der Crameri-Akademie einschreiben.

Bin ich einfach nur müde – oder stehe ich schon kurz vor dem Burnout? Diese Frage stellen sich viele Menschen viel zu spät. Burnout entsteht nicht von heute auf morgen. Er entwickelt sich schleichend – oft über Jahre – und genau deshalb werden die Warnsignale häufig übersehen oder bagatellisiert. In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, - warum Burnout ein Prozess ist und kein plötzlicher Zusammenbruch - welche frühen körperlichen und emotionalen Warnsignale ernst zu nehmen sind - warum Erschöpfung, Reizbarkeit, Rückzug und innere Unruhe klare Alarmsignale sein können - und ab wann es wichtig ist, Dir Unterstützung zu holen, statt weiter durchzuhalten Diese Folge hilft Dir, ehrlich hinzuschauen, Dich selbst besser einzuordnen und rechtzeitig gegenzusteuern – bevor Dein Körper Dich zu einer Pause zwingt.

Stress isn't just something you think about.It's something your body carries.Every interruption.Every transition.Every responsibility and unspoken emotional load.Your nervous system responds to all of it — and if stress never gets discharged, it doesn't disappear.It settles. It accumulates. In this episode, we're talking about why releasing stress from the body is non-negotiable — and how to do it in ways that are fast, practical, and deeply regulating.You'll learn:✔️ Why unresolved stress — not stress itself — is what exhausts your nervous system✔️ How stored tension lives in your muscles, breath, jaw, and fascia✔️ Three simple somatic techniques that help your body complete the stress cycle✔️ How daily stress discharge lowers reactivity, improves clarity, and restores capacityThis isn't about “calming down” or positive thinking.It's about giving your nervous system what it was biologically designed to do:move stress through instead of storing it inside.If you've been holding it together, powering through, and wondering why your body still feels tight, wired, or heavy — this episode will help you release what you were never meant to carry alone.Related Episodes:Previous EpisodeUnlocking Calm Powerful Somatic Practices to Shift out of Fight, Flight or FreezeBurnout Recovery Blueprint (Part 2): Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Body3 Somatic Practices for Anxiety: Why They Work & How to Do Them5 Somatic Techniques to Regulate When You're Feeling Overwhelmed-- Burnout Recovery Blueprint starts again in January - check it out!

You can do this in your pajamas, on the floor, or in a chair. It's time to stop serving, stop organizing, and simply be a heavy object on the earth.

This episode of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering offers a grounded self help approach to manifestation that focuses on mindfulness, intuition, gratitude, and emotional resilience. Listeners explore how fear, uncertainty, and the need for control can increase suffering and block clarity.

A simple "maybe" practice is shared to help quiet self doubt, reduce anxiety, and restore hope during times of uncertainty. This episode is ideal for anyone seeking stress relief, mindfulness, emotional balance, and a healthier way to hold goals related to relationships, career, money, and overall well being in 2026. Guided Affirmation for 2026 I take a gentle breath. I allow my body to settle. There is nothing I need to fix right now. I bring to mind something I hope for in 2026. I do not need to force it. I simply acknowledge that it matters to me. I trust myself. I trust life. I release the need for certainty. I release the pressure to have all the answers. I listen to the wisdom of this moment. I allow clarity to come when it is ready. I do not need to push. I do not need to resist. I am open to guidance. I am open to possibility. I remember what is already working in my life. I remember my resources and support. I hold my dreams with openness and gratitude. I allow them to unfold in their own time. Maybe more is possible than I can imagine. Maybe things are already moving in my favor. Maybe everything will be okay. I take another gentle breath. I let these words settle. I move into this year with trust, presence, and hope. What I seek is seeking me. Lastly, you can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

I sit down with Izabella Wentz to unpack why thyroid dysfunction is so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated. We'll explore why most "low thyroid" cases are actually autoimmune in nature, how gut health, liver detoxification, stress, and toxins drive symptoms long before labs turn abnormal, and why so many people feel terrible despite being told their tests are "normal." This conversation is a deep dive into systems-based healing, designed to help you recognize red flags, ask better questions, and understand when self-experimentation ends and professional support becomes essential.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: Why thyroid hormones affect every cell in the body The difference between Hashimoto's vs labs your doctor calls normal.. when it IS NOT NORMAL. Autoimmunity and the domino effect of chronic disease The link between gut infections, parasites, and thyroid dysfunction The risks and benefits of things like Liver detoxes, the role of toxins, and why you might be so chemically sensitive Vital nutrients for thyroid function The dangers of Gluten and immune cross-reactivity Intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and how it can trash your thyroid Stress, cortisol, and thyroid hormone conversion How to know when it's time for professional help   More from Dr. Izabella Wentz Instagram: @izabellawentzpharmd YouTube: @ThyroidPharmacist Podcast: Thyroid Pharmacist - Healing Conversations Website: thyroidpharmacist.com Contact: https://thyroidpharmacist.com/contact/     Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Send us a textNeurobiology of maternal care in mammals: hormonal influences, stress effects & a study on psilocybin's unexpected effects during the postpartum period.Topics Discussed:Maternal care behavior in rodents: Nursing, pup retrieval, grooming, and nest-building, essential for altricial pups' survival; conserved across mammals but varies by species.Hormonal changes in pregnancy: Estradiol and progesterone surge then drop at birth, crossing the blood-brain barrier to enable infant attraction and care via gene expression and neuroplasticity.Brain circuitry for parenting: Medial preoptic area acts as a central hub, coordinating motivation and sensory inputs; present in both sexes but activated differently by hormones and experience.Stress impacts on mothers: Social stressors like male intruders dysregulate care, leading to frantic behaviors and avoidance; models human psychosocial stress linked to postpartum mood disorders.Sex differences in pup care: Mothers groom male pups more, influencing sexual behaviors, which effects future behavior.Psilocybin in postpartum mice: Single dose increased anxiety in mothers, showed no antidepressant effects, and transferred via milk, causing long-term anhedonia and impairments in offspring as adults.Serotonin system development: Early exposure to serotonergic drugs like psilocybin or SSRIs alters lifelong behavior, highlighting sensitive periods in brain reorganization.Practical Takeaways:Reduce postpartum stress through social support to enhance maternal bonding and minimize mood disorder risks.Approach psychedelics cautiously during postpartum due to potential anxiety increases and offspring effects via milk.Recognize hormonal shifts heighten sensitivity to infant cues, aiding natural caregiving instincts.Monitor environmental factors like food availability or threats that could disrupt parental behaviors in high-stress scenarios.About the guest: Danielle Stolzenberg, PhD is an associate professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, where her lab studies the neurobiology of maternal care.Reference Paper:Study: Psilocybin during the postpartum period induces long-lasting adverse effects in both mothers and offspringRelated Episode:Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Life doesn't always go to plan. In fact, life rarely seems to go to plan. We can't let those little bumps in the road, or even huge obstacles keep us from moving forward in our life. We need to be able to shift into another gear, change lanes, or take another route. This meditation hopes to help remind us that there is always another way. There is always plan B. One breath at a time.

Watch the FULL podcast here: https://youtu.be/IIenBH9xAEkThis segment explores how stress affects the body and why recovery matters just as much as the stress itself. The discussion makes clear that stress is normal, but what truly impacts health is how quickly we return to homeostasis once the moment has passed.Here, we examine the difference between ongoing strain and healthy regulation, the role of sleep in stress resilience, and why two people with the same workload can experience completely different levels of overwhelm. The conversation also looks at locus of control, daily demands, and why recovery is more about how you respond than what's in your “stress bucket.”***This episode is sponsored by: NOWATCH: Health tracking reimaginedKnow your body, trust yourself.15% off with code LWBW15 at nowatch.com***Sign up to Sarah's Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.

How to FIGHT disease, old age, and stress-FASTEST? If you want to be healthy, fit, strong, lean, and happy for a lifetime, is there a FASTEST way?

Early signs of brain damage linked to obesity are already showing up in young adults, decades before symptoms like memory loss or confusion begin Having low levels of choline, a nutrient most people don't get enough of, is strongly connected to inflammation, liver stress, and neuron injury in people with obesity Women are especially vulnerable to brain-related effects of metabolic stress, as they tend to have significantly lower choline levels than men A major brain imaging study confirmed that obesity directly causes brain shrinkage, white matter damage, and reduced cognitive performance — not just a correlation Simple lifestyle shifts like eating more choline-rich foods, cutting seed oils, moving daily, and prioritizing sleep can help repair and protect your brain long before problems show up

Hey, Heal Squad! For Christmas week, we're throwing it back to two of our favorite conversations from the year, and this one with Hannah Brown felt especially worth revisiting as we reflect, reset, and prepare for what's next. In this throwback, Hannah shares the parts of her journey that happened far beyond the spotlight. She opens up about navigating PCOS, chronic inflammation, hormonal challenges, and the emotional toll of living in constant pressure and survival mode. From being dismissed by doctors to feeling disconnected from her body, Hannah walks us through the moment her body finally demanded deeper attention, PLUS how healing began when she stopped pushing and started listening. As the year winds down, let this episode be a grounding reminder that real change often starts quietly… with awareness, compassion, and the willingness to release old patterns before stepping into the next chapter.

In this episode of the Evolving Wellness Podcast, I delve into the complexities of vitamin D and melatonin, particularly during the winter months. I discuss the natural decline of vitamin D levels in winter, the critical role of melatonin, and how modern lifestyles disrupt these hormonal balances. The conversation covers the impact of stress, alcohol, and blue light on health, the importance of circadian rhythms, and the potential benefits and drawbacks of vitamin D supplementation.

What if the key to silencing your overactive mind exists at a specific frequency? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, hosts Will and Karen dive deep with Ryan Stanley, owner of Sacred Sound of the Soul, to uncover how sound healing moves beyond relaxation fluff into genuine neurobiological transformation.Ryan, a former corporate executive who pivoted to exploring consciousness expansion through sound, reveals the science-backed mechanisms behind why crystal bowls induce immediate calm, from vagus nerve stimulation to frequency-based entrainment. But here's what makes this conversation different: he refuses to oversell the "woo," instead grounding energy healing in practical, observable results that listeners can replicate at home.In this episode, you'll discover why stress has become our baseline operating system and how 15 minutes with a crystal bowl can reset your nervous system. You'll learn the neurobiological mechanics of how sound vibrations impact your vagus nerve and central nervous system. Ryan shares how to choose your "bowl mate"; the one that matches YOUR unique energy signature, and demystifies the myth about crystal bowls and chakras. The hosts experience a live sound healing demo and Will even leaves his body, proving online sound healing genuinely works.

While England self-immolate, Cricket Cliches maintains its admittedly modest run of form in our fourth outing. Aussie commentators Aaron Finch and Adam Gilchrist are taken to task as they play fast and loose… with words. Picking up where we left off with the classification of lower-order runs, we think about the individuals doing the damage. Do you know which end of the bat to hold? Seems like the bare minimum. And, with the help of an impressively-named correspondent, we compare the yin and yang of watching cricket when your team is either batting or bowling. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chad Landers is a former NSCA Personal Trainer of the Year award winner, with over 30 years of hands-on coaching experience and more than 20 years as a gym owner. Chad is also the author of the new book Building Strength and Muscle After 50, which draws on decades of real-world coaching rather than trends or fear-based messaging.In this episode, Chad joins Andrew Coates to discuss what actually changes with training as we age—and what often gets blamed on aging that's really the result of lifestyle, consistency, and accumulated stress.Rather than promoting limitations, Chad makes a strong case for intelligent progression, long-term thinking, and creating training environments that people can sustain well into their 50s, 60s, and beyond.In this episode, Chad shares insights on:• Whether strength training truly needs to change after age 50• What is physiologically different as we age vs. what is lifestyle-driven• Why long breaks from training become less forgiving over time• How consistency becomes more valuable than intensity with age• Whether younger lifters should proactively adjust how they train• If and when exercise selection should change as we get older• The trade-offs between recreation, recovery, and strength goals• Home gym vs. commercial gym training later in life• Why coaching experience matters more than certifications alone• How relationships, environment, and social connection influence long-term success• And much moreInstagram: @chadlandersCHAPTERS00:16 Chad Landers' New Book00:51 The Journey to Becoming an Author04:25 Training After 50: Do We Need a New Approach?07:36 The Importance of Consistency Over Intensity08:41 Physical Changes and Smarter Training Adjustments16:41 Balancing Life, Stress, and Fitness22:33 Proactive Training Strategies When You're Younger25:49 Recreational Activities and Performance Trade-offs26:36 Gym Life and Training Adjustments With Age27:55 Different Training Approaches Across Age Groups29:42 Home Gym vs. Commercial Gym Training32:46 The Value of Coaching Experience41:04 Client Relationships and Long-Term Retention47:50 Final Thoughts and Book PromotionSUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode helped you, you can help me by:• Subscribing and checking out more episodes• Sharing it on your social media (tag me — I'll respond)• Sending it to a friend who wants to stay strong without burning outFOLLOW ANDREW COATESInstagram: @andrewcoatesfitnesshttps://www.andrewcoatesfitness.comPARTNERS AND RESOURCESRP Strength App (use code COATESRP)https://www.rpstrength.com/coatesJust Bite Me Meals (use code ANDREWCOATESFITNESS for 10% off)https://justbitememeals.com/MacrosFirst – FREE Premium TrialDownload MacrosFirst → During setup, answer “How did you hear about us?”Type: ANDREWKNKG Bags (15% off)https://www.knkg.com/Andrew59676Versa Gripps (discount link)https://www.versagripps.com/andrewcoatesTRAINHEROIC – FREE 90-Day Trial (2 steps)Go to: https://www.trainheroic.com/liftfreeReply to the email you receive (or email trials@trainheroic.com) and let them know Andrew sent you

Can you be lean and metabolically unfit? Can you be overweight and metabolically healthy? Most of the world's type 2 diabetics are lean. Weight is not the issue. It's a distraction from what actually matters: metabolic fitness. Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Dr. Beverly Yates ND to shatter the myths about metabolic health, weight, and diabetes, especially for women over 40. In this conversation, Dr. Yates reveals the silent signs of pre-diabetes most doctors miss, why the "eat less, exercise more" advice fails women after menopause, and the five steps of the Yates Protocol that helped women reverse type 2 diabetes after 25+ years, without deprivation or restriction. What We Cover: ●     Weight is not the issue, it's a symptom: Most type 2 diabetics worldwide are lean (not overweight), you can be lean and metabolically unfit OR overweight and metabolically healthy, doctors blame weight instead of looking at actual metabolic markers ●     The silent signs of pre-diabetes ●     Objective markers that actually matter: Hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin, C-peptide ●     Why BMI is useless ●     Menopause changes everything metabolically: Loss of estrogen = increased visceral fat + insulin resistance (even with same diet/exercise), women have more microvascular disease than men, hot flashes linked to hyperdensities in brain (vascular damage) ●     Why lean people don't get diagnosed: Doctors assume "you're skinny, you're fine" without checking A1C/fasting insulin/C-peptide, visceral fat can be invisible (not always "beer belly"), third of teenagers now have pre-diabetes ●     The taste bud reset: Taste buds turn over every 10-14 days, they talk to brain about calories, diet sodas/artificial sweeteners trick brain → causes snacking 1-1.5 hours later PLUS, The 5 Steps of the Yates Protocol: (1) Nutrition, (2) Meal timing, (3) Stress management, (4) Sleep, (5) Exercise with emphasis on strength training. This episode is for women over 40 navigating menopause, anyone told to "just lose weight" by their doctor, pre-diabetics looking for real solutions, or anyone who wants to understand what metabolic fitness actually means. ✨ Watch now and discover why the strategies that worked at 30 don't work at 50, and what actually does.   Connect with Dr. Beverly Yates ND: Book: The Yates Protocol (Pre-Order NOW) Website: https://drbeverlyyates.com/the-yates-protocol-book/ Pre-Order Bonus: Upload receipt for undisclosed chapter not in book   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: ●     Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ ●     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Links: ●     The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book) https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/ ●     Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ ●     FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec ●     Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ ●     Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/   More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery for weekly episodes on women's health, hormones, and functional medicine → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Listen on Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247 Listen on Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

If you're sensitive, thoughtful, and craving calm this holiday season… this conversation is for you. This episode is a beautiful reminder that peace doesn't come from managing everyone else—it comes from coming home to yourself. So take a breath, get comfortable, and let's call in clarity, calm, and emotional freedom… even during the holidays.

You know about breath work. You know about cold exposure. It's a thing all the major "influencers" tell you to do. I had some skepticism myself and that's why I wanted to have this man, the original cold exposure and breath work guy on himself, Wim Hof! He is a man who has redefined the limits of the human mind and body. Known globally as The Iceman, Wim Hof has shown millions of people how to take control of their physiology through breath, cold exposure, and mindset. From climbing mountains in nothing but shorts to teaching everyday men how to regulate stress, build resilience, and reconnect with their primal strength, Wim's work challenges everything we think we know about comfort, health, and human potential. Today, we're talking about cold, breath, discipline, and what it really means to return to our factory settings as men.

I sat down with author, speaker, and lawyer Justin Whitmel Earley and walked away reminded that discipline isn't just about doing more—it's about becoming more grounded. He shared how relentless ambition and life as a driven attorney led to panic attacks and burnout, and how he rebuilt through faith and daily spiritual rhythms. The smallest, most intentional habits shape my mind, my peace, and my purpose. Faith isn't just what I claim—it's what I practice every day.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction02:25 The Impact of Books and Personal Growth07:42 The Journey to Law and Mental Collapse12:55 Spiritual Habits and Life Changes23:40 Identity and Vocation34:56 The Gospel's Core Message38:30 Identifying and Overcoming False Idols43:02 The Role of the Body in Spirituality48:01 The Call to Serve Others55:20 The Journey of Intentional Fatherhood01:06:55 The Dual Nature of Strength01:13:04 The Role of Sabbath in Modern Life01:31:26 The Cornerstone of a Good Life01:36:47 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsJUSTIN WHITMEL EARLEYWebsite: https://www.justinwhitmelearley.com/Socials: @justinwhitmelearleyBooks: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Justin-Whitmel-Earley/author/B07P62QFW5?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=69ad8248-6298-4780-a33b-c900a2adfa62ORDER MY BOOK HERE:https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFEhttps://bpn.team/memberIG: instagram.com/nickbarefitness/YT: youtube.com/@nickbarefitness
