Podcasts about stressed

Why does stress seem to hit so much harder in midlife? If you've ever found yourself feeling anxious, emotionally flat, overwhelmed, reactive, or strangely disconnected from yourself, this conversation may help make sense of what's going on beneath the surface. In this episode of Living Life Naturally, I'm joined by Owen Marcus, Founder and CEO of MELD, to talk about stress, emotional resilience, and the concept of the window of tolerance — the range in which your nervous system feels safe enough to think clearly, respond calmly, and stay connected to yourself and others. Owen explains how chronic stress can gradually shrink that window, especially during seasons like midlife and menopause when the body may already be carrying more load. We talk about why common advice like "just breathe" or "think positive" often falls flat when you're already in a survival state, and why nervous system support needs to start with understanding what your body is actually experiencing. This conversation explores the difference between hyperarousal and freeze, why disconnection can become such a common midlife experience, and how body awareness, co-regulation, and gentle somatic tools can support greater steadiness and emotional resilience. If you've been feeling wired, numb, overly emotional, or not quite like yourself, this episode offers an eye-opening and compassionate look at what stress may really be doing — and how you can begin to support yourself more effectively. In this episode, we discuss: what the window of tolerance means and why it matters how chronic stress affects the body and brain why midlife and menopause can make stress feel more intense the difference between fight-or-flight and freeze responses why common stress-management tools sometimes don't work how body awareness can help shift your nervous system the role of co-regulation and connection in feeling calmer why understanding your stress response is the first step toward change About Owen Marcus Owen Marcus is the Founder and CEO of MELD (Men's Emotional Leadership Development), a pioneer in men's emotional health, and the author of Grow Up: A Man's Guide to Emotional Maturity. His work integrates neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory, somatic mindfulness, and relational skill-building to support emotional intelligence and authentic leadership.

I'm about to tell you something that might sting: Nobody cares about your body. But stick with me, because that truth is going to set you free. We spend SO much energy terrified of what people will think if we gain weight, if we eat normally, if we stop restricting. We're scared of judgment. But here's the raw truth: People are way too busy worrying about their own bodies to spend time judging yours. Today I'm sharing 9 brutal recovery truths that no one will tell you—but I absolutely will. Because I'm tired of watching women stay stuck settling for "good enough," when full freedom is absolutely possible. These aren't feel-good platitudes. These are boss-babe-energy truths that will wake you up and change everything. The 9 Raw Truths: Your health is your wealth Nobody cares about your body 2b. You will be judged no matter what—at least be judged for something meaningful Consistency matters more than perfection Recovery takes months or years—not weeks or days Your comfort zone and "settling" will destroy your dreams of freedom No one is coming to save you You can't pray yourself away from ED behaviors—you must pray AND act Time never comes back You cannot recover from an eating disorder alone. THE 9 BRUTAL TRUTHS BREAKDOWN Truth #1: Your health is your wealth. You can fake your health to the world for a while, but malnourishment catches up with you. Your bones will tell the story. Your hormones will tell the story. You can lie to everyone else, but your body keeps the receipts. When you look back in 10-30 years, your health is what will matter most—not the number on the scale. Truth #2: Nobody cares about your body. Everyone is way too worried about their own insecurities to spend time analyzing yours. The person at the grocery store? Worried about their own body. Your coworker? Stressed about their own appearance. The people who matter don't care what size you are. And the people who care what size you are don't matter. Truth #2b: You will be judged no matter what—at least be judged for something meaningful versus your pant size. Would you rather be judged for playing small, for restricting your life, for being the woman always "on a diet"? Or judged for being bold, for showing up fully, for living a life that actually matters? People will have opinions regardless. Make sure you're living a life worth having opinions about. Truth #3: Consistency matters more than perfection. Boss babes understand this in business but forget it in recovery. You can take random action, but it's what you do consistently that leads to true freedom. Recovery isn't built on perfect days—it's built on showing up day after day, even when it sucks. Truth #4: Recovery takes months or years—not weeks or days. Trying to rush recovery is like trying to rush building a business empire. You can't shortcut the process and expect lasting results. The women who understand this is an investment in their future are the ones running companies and living their dreams while others are still counting calories. Truth #5: Your comfort zone and "settling" will destroy your dreams of freedom. Quasi-recovery isn't boss babe energy—it's small energy. It's staying in the kiddie pool when you were meant to swim in the ocean. Settling for quasi-recovery is like building a business to 50K and stopping because you're "comfortable." Your eating disorder is betting on you settling. Truth #6: No one is coming to save you. Your parents can't fix this. Your partner can't love the eating disorder away. Your therapist can't want recovery more than you do. This is your life. Your recovery. Your empire to build. That's overwhelming but also the most empowering truth—you have ALL the power to change everything. Truth #7: You can't pray yourself or "try" to get yourself away from ED behaviors. Faith is powerful. Prayer is essential. But you must pray AND act like the boss babe God created you to be. God gave you a brain, body, and free will for a reason. Use them. Trying is just failing with intention. Stop trying. Start doing. Truth #8: Time never comes back. Every day you spend restricting is gone forever. Every opportunity missed because you're obsessed with food. Every relationship you half-show up to because you're mentally calculating calories. Boss babes understand time is the most valuable currency. Stop spending yours on something that will never pay dividends. THE FINAL TRUTH TO SET YOU FREE: #9: You cannot build an empire alone, and recover from an eating disorder is the exact same. Eating disorders thrive in isolation. Every successful woman has a team, support, someone who won't let them quit when things get hard. The women who recover are the ones who stop trying to figure it all out alone and invest in themselves. KEY QUOTES

Episode 1 Overview: Disconnected Men — Why It Happens Most men don't wake up thinking, "I have no friends." They wake up thinking, "Why does this still feel… alone?" In Episode 1, we name what's actually underneath so much frustration in modern male life—marriage tension, shallow friendships, feeling stuck in purpose, always being "fine" but never really okay. It's not that men don't want connection. It's that many men are disconnected from Source—their inner world. And without Source, depth in any relationship is almost impossible. What we talk about in this episode We start with a simple but important reframe: most men aren't "friendless." They're disconnected—from themselves, from other men, and often from the relationships that matter most. Then we bring in the data. The numbers are wild: close male friendships have dropped sharply over the last few decades, and more men now report having zero close friends. The big point isn't to shame anyone—it's to make it clear you're not alone and you're not defective. This is bigger than one man's personality. Something has shifted. From there, we get practical. We talk about why so many male friendships stay at the "activity friend" level—guys you watch the game with, work with, text with, hang with—but who don't actually know what's going on inside you. You can have people around you and still feel unknown. The Circle Framework (the map we use at AMG) We introduce the AMG Circle Framework to explain why depth feels so hard: Circle 1: Source — self-awareness, emotional clarity, identity, authenticity Circle 2: Significant Other — your partner relationship Circle 3: Select Few — the men who know your real story Circle 4: Activity Friends — connection through hobbies, work, sports, etc. Circle 7: Coping — temporary relief when life feels too heavy A lot of men live in Circle 4, pour themselves into work, and then cope in Circle 7… while Source stays underdeveloped. And here's the calm truth we keep coming back to: Depth isn't accidental. It's intentional. Why "Source" is the real bottleneck We slow down and talk about what disconnection from Source actually looks like. For many men, emotional vocabulary shrinks to survival language: Fine. Stressed. Tired. Annoyed. Good. That's not depth—it's a status update. We also talk about performance-based identity (produce, achieve, provide), and what happens when that performance dips. When a man's identity feels unstable, vulnerability feels unsafe. And when vulnerability feels unsafe, depth gets replaced with humor, sarcasm, avoidance, or staying busy. Not because men are bad—because most men were never trained. Familiarity isn't intimacy One of the biggest takeaways: you can know a guy for years and still not know him. Teasing and joking can be real bonding—but they can also become the shield that keeps anything meaningful from ever being said. We ask a few reflective questions that make it obvious whether a friendship is actually deep… or just familiar. Coping vs self-care We also talk about the difference between coping and self-care. Coping isn't evil. It's understandable. But coping reduces intensity—it doesn't build depth. Coping gets you through the night. Self-care builds your life. Weekly challenge (simple, real, doable) This week, do two things: Notice your go-to coping pattern. Then ask: What emotion might this be helping me avoid? Text one man and initiate something real. Try this: "I've realized I've been more disconnected than I want to be. Want to grab coffee and talk real life?" Next episode In Episode 2, we'll show you how to build Circle 3 friendships on purpose—how to move from surface connection to real brotherhood without it feeling forced, awkward, or cheesy. If this episode hits home, you're exactly who we made it for.

You didn't start your business to feel constantly behind, constantly selling, constantly thinking about what's not working.You started it for founder freedom.The freedom to take a Friday off. The freedom to go to the dentist with your kid without spiralling about revenue. The freedom to switch off without your nervous system screaming at you.In this episode, I'm talking about the eight shifts I've made to build a low mental load business. The kind of business that feels easeful, profitable and steady. The kind where you can start the month knowing your revenue is covered. The kind that doesn't live rent free in your brain 24/7.We're discussing simplifying your offer suite, building recurring revenue, why fewer offers usually equals more profit, and how radical simplicity is often the real scaling strategy. I'm also sharing the truth about evergreen funnels, low ticket offers, live launching, and the exact framework I use to eliminate unnecessary work inside my business.And if you're multi-passionate or get bored easily, I'm speaking directly to you too. Because not every passion needs to become a business. And chasing every idea might actually be the thing creating the stress you're trying to escape.If what you really want is peace and profit, this episode will show you how to build it.Resources mentioned: Episode 133: Pro's and Cons: Evergreen vs Live LaunchesClick HERE to follow me on InstagramClick HERE to apply for the Peace and Profit Mastermind

This week on Chrisley Confessions 2.0, Todd and Julie are catching up on a season of life that feels like it's moving at lightning speed. Julie is headed to London for 21 days of filming, Todd is figuring out how to hold down the fort with Chloe, and somehow they're calculating whether 60 outfits is reasonable or completely insane. It's a lot. But as they say, they're blessed to be stressed.From there, the conversation turns deeper.After receiving messages accusing them of “staying silent,” Todd and Julie address where they stand on immigration, ICE, protest culture, and the growing divide in this country. They talk about the hypocrisy they see on both sides, the heartbreak of lives lost, and why compassion and accountability can exist at the same time. Todd doesn't hold back. Julie speaks from the heart. And together, they share why they refuse to be pressured into becoming anyone's political mouthpiece.They reflect on prison, the pardon, and the reality that pain looks the same no matter what side of the aisle you're on. They open up about faith, about questioning God in the middle of the storm, and about recognizing later that He was there all along.This episode is honest. It's layered. It's uncomfortable at times. But at its core, it's about respect, responsibility, family, and the belief that this world is big enough for all of us if we would just choose common sense and common courtesy.As Todd says, every storm runs out of rain. And as Nanny Faye reminds us, the sun don't shine on the same dogs' asses every day.Thank you to our sponsors for supporting the show!- LEAN: Get 20% OFF when you enter code CHRISLEY at https://www.takelean.com!- Booking.com: This episode of Chrisley Confessions 2.0 is brought to you by Booking.com!

We love the idea of calm. We know grounding, breathwork, and meditation “work.” But most of us don't slow down long enough to use them — especially when life feels full, loud, or overwhelming. In this episode, we talk about why real change can't start in the mind alone. When the body is stressed, the brain, gut, emotions, and decision-making are all affected. And no amount of willpower fixes that. This is a conversation about starting from the inside — calming the nervous system first, so clarity, consistency, and movement can actually stick. Tune into episode 305 for a free clip of the vibe .

Are you satisfied with just "checking the boxes" of your faith, or do you long for something deeper?In Part 2 of our series, The Crucible, Pastor Mark explores the difference between being merely "shaped" by religious habits and being completely "melted down" and transformed by the presence of God. Spiritual formation isn't about sin management—it's about your time in God's presence changing you at the deepest level.

Stressed arrivals, missed promises, and long check-in lines aren't surprises. They're predictable flashpoints in hospitality. In this episode, we answer a listener's question about training frontline teams for high-emotion moments and share a practical framework for turning tension into trust without burning out your people.We start by redefining success. Instead of aiming to “make every guest happy,” we focus on a sustainable goal: guide the guest to a better moment than the one they're in. From there, we identify the biggest hot spots in the journey and outline how proactive planning, clear recovery thresholds, and consistent standards across properties create a reliable brand experience.Then we get tactical with language that defuses tension, micro-habits for staying calm under pressure, and playbooks that remove hesitation when speed matters. We also explore empowerment tools like room moves, credits, and late checkout, plus the well-being practices that keep teams strong through demanding shifts.If you lead a hotel, resort, or any high-contact service, this episode delivers actionable steps to strengthen service recovery, customer experience, and employee resilience.Resources Mentioned:Order your copy of Experience Is Everything --experienceiseverythingbook.comLearn more about CXI Membership™ and apply -- CXIMembership.comExperience Investigators Website -- experienceinvestigators.comEnjoyed the show?

Not only does hydration improve your body's ability to receive and manage stress well, but it is essential to living a vibrant life.  Last week, I shared with you practical ways to incorporate more water into your day, even as a busy mom. Today, I want to share with you the ultimate water you need to combat stress, anxiety and overstimulation as a mom.   For His Glory, Christen   I would love to hear from you!  >>Leave a Review >>Connect with me:   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment   Email me : naturalwellnessforbusymoms@gmail.com  Sign Up to Become an Insider: https://bit.ly/naturalwellnessinsider  Join Our FREE Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1789472588229094  >>Find Related Products Here: https://bit.ly/m/Natural-Wellness-for-Busy-Moms  >> These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Too Young to Be Stressed: Finding Peace While Building Your Future

Dr Helen and I explore what resilience coaching really means in today's stressed, overstimulated culture. We look at burnout, nervous system regulation, and why simple tools are often not enough without community, meaning, nature, and spiritual depth. We discuss coaching young men, addiction to phones, games and ultra stimulation, and how technology is actively undermining resilience. We also cover co regulation, ritual, embodiment practices, sleep, and the importance of relationships and financial stability as part of well being. We challenge the idea that holidays fix burnout and instead point to lifestyle, structure, and support as the real foundations.

So many of us feel the weight of stress in ways we don't always talk about, and it can be hard to know what to do with it. This week, Pastor Scotty reflects on the opening words of the book of James, inviting us to consider how moments of pressure might shape us rather than simply wear us down. The message explores how our digital habits, our assumptions about struggle, and the stories we tell ourselves can all pull us into defense mode—or open us to a different kind of strength. If you've been walking through a season that feels heavy, this message offers a thoughtful, hopeful way to approach it.

In this follow-up episode, we zoom out and talk about the bigger picture of helping kids move into adulthood without being buried under student debt. Kelly returns to share why college should be treated as a financial decision, not an emotional one — and why choosing a school based on the prettiest campus, best food, or football team can be a costly mistake. We talk about evaluating the return on investment, choosing schools that accept dual enrollment and AP credits, and why her daughter attended a local school that fit the plan. We also discuss alternatives that don't get talked about enough: trade schools, gap years, and going to college part-time while figuring out direction. If a student doesn't know what they want to do yet, pushing them straight into full-time college can lead to major-jumping, dropping out, and still owing loans — which helps no one. Kelly and I also dive into some hard but necessary questions for parents: Do your kids really want to go to college — or do you want them to? And why? We talk about how giving students time, ownership, and even their own money on the line often makes them more motivated to finish. We wrap up with practical advice on starting these conversations early, helping kids build strong resumes, track test scores and activities, and gather references — plus how to connect with Kelly if you want help guiding your own family through this process. This episode is about giving your kids freedom, not financial chains.   Related Episodes: 78 - How to Find $10,000 in Scholarship Opportunities in an Hour a Week 172 - 3 Ways to Search and Find the Scholarships Specific To You 173 - She Paid Off $20,000 in Student Loans in a Few Months, Before Ever Paying Any Interest!

Hey Mama,  When we want energy as busy moms, we often want to reach for our favorite all natural energy drink, drive through for our favorite latte or heat up water for some nice tea. However, many of us have become so dependent upon caffeine to fuel us that it may be causing you more harm than good. It's true, your coffee or Alani fix may be exacerbating your stress and anxiety.

What does it actually look like when a parent and student commit to graduating college debt-free? In this episode, I sit down with Kelly, a mom and financial advisor who is actively helping her daughter go through college without student loans. We talk through the real conversations that had to happen early — including the moment they decided she would not take student loans — and how having a clear plan changed everything. From a parent's perspective, Kelly shares how being intentional, getting on the same page as a family, and involving her daughter directly in the process made all the difference. We also break down practical steps like getting a job during college, contributing to her own 529 account, and finding campus jobs that allow students to get paid while doing homework. You'll also hear simple explanations of what a 529 account is, how compound interest works, parent loans, and how it compares to a high-yield savings account — all in plain English. If you're a parent, a student, or both, this episode will help you understand how to get started with a real-life debt-free college plan.
