Are you running so hard that life feels like it's about to swallow you whole? In Part 2 of our “Life of Striving”, we dive deeper into how to recognize striving and instead walk in God's peace and purpose. This episode explores how to identify your true values, set healthy boundaries, and create life-giving rhythms that protect your relationship with God, your marriage, your family, and yourself. Striving is sneaky—it disguises itself as good intentions, productivity, or even ministry. But left unchecked, it leaves us fragmented, exhausted, and far from God's design. In this conversation, you'll learn how to shift from over-functioning to peace, discover what “winning” looks like in your current season, and put rhythms in place that help you flourish holistically—body, mind, and spirit. Whether you're in a season of expansion or just trying to keep your head above water, these principles will help you pause, realign, and live with clarity and purpose. love, Brittany Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Burnout recovery starts with identity, not output. In this episode, discover how striving keeps leaders exhausted — and why peace-led presence restores clarity, impact, and trust.Striving feels normal when you've been carrying the weight for a long time. But let's name it: striving is when your worth is tied to your output. It's when rest feels irresponsible, when every “yes” is about proving you can handle more, and when quiet moments feel unsafe because you're so used to producing. The result? Burnout, decision fatigue, and the hollow exhaustion of success that doesn't satisfy.In today's Sunday episode of The Recalibration, we're anchoring this week's theme — Performance vs. Presence — in faith. Scripture reminds us that life together was designed to be rooted in connection and belonging, not performance. Consider Jeroboam: a diligent worker elevated to leadership by Solomon and promised the throne by God. But instead of resting in God's promise, he turned to people-pleasing and idol-making — a path that fractured a kingdom. Contrast that with King Hezekiah, who rooted himself in trust. When Assyria threatened destruction, he didn't scramble to perform or strategize — he tore his clothes, went into the temple, and trusted God. Scripture says, “The Lord was with him, and Hezekiah was successful in everything” (2 Kings 18:7).Henri Nouwen, priest, professor, and writer — teaching at Harvard Divinity School before leaving academia to live among those with disabilities — embodied this same principle. His leadership wasn't about force or striving. It was rooted in beloved identity, expressed through presence. His quiet authority continues to shape leaders who long for more than performance-driven impact.The pattern is simple but profound: Identity → Alignment → Impact. But most leaders flip it, chasing impact first and hoping peace will follow. Today we'll unpack how to spot that flipped pattern, why it keeps your nervous system braced, and how Identity-Level Recalibration restores true alignment. This isn't another mindset tactic. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective — because when your identity is anchored, your leadership flows from peace instead of pressure.Today's Micro Recalibration: Before any output today, take 3 minutes of stillness and breathe: “I am already held. Therefore, I can lead unhurried.” For leaders, extend this: before making decisions, slow your breath and remind yourself — presence carries more weight than pressure.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Are you exhausted from trying to be a “better Christian,” follow all the rules, or just fix yourself? In this episode, Heather Creekmore dives into the age-old dilemma every believer faces: Am I supposed to be working on me—and if so, how much of it is up to me, and how much is God’s job? Inspired by the Crowder song “He’s Working on Me Still,” Heather explores the difference between self-powered striving and Spirit-powered transformation. Using honest stories, biblical wisdom (especially from Galatians 5), and practical illustrations, she helps Christian women understand why hustling for holiness leaves us tired—and how true freedom and growth comes when we move from “I’m working on me” to “He’s working on me.” In This Episode: Why spiritual striving, religious rule-following, and willpower can’t bring long-term freedom How diet culture mindsets sneak into our faith and make us rely on formulas instead of God What it means to step out of the driver’s seat and let God be in control (with relatable analogies and humor) The power of relationship over religion and why faith is more than just “doing all the things” How to recognize if your spiritual life is based on head knowledge, not heart transformation Practical steps to move from self-reliance to Spirit-dependence—including honest reflection questions and the importance of daily worship Key Takeaway:Stop striving for self-improvement and start leaning into God’s grace. When we let go of self-reliance and invite the Holy Spirit to lead, we experience true rest, freedom, and lasting spiritual growth.

Do you ever catch yourself believing your child's behavior or performance is a direct reflection of you as a mom? Maybe you compare how quickly they're learning to read or how many words they're saying with the kids around them. Or maybe, when they act out, you feel like you've failed—and the yelling, controlling, and striving begins. Striving in motherhood is sneaky. It shows up in the way we compare, the way we push, and the way we try to control our kids—often because we're carrying pressure that God never asked us to carry. In this episode, I walk you through how striving sneaks into motherhood, the damage it causes, and most importantly, how to step into peace, freedom, and trust in God as you raise your kids. love, Brittany Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Literacy is a lifeline for academic success and lifelong opportunities. For older students still struggling with reading, targeted intervention powerful and transformative. In this conversation with Lisa Mucci, Curriculum Associates' Impact Specialist in Curriculum and Instruction, we explore practical, evidence-based strategies that can make an immediate difference for these learners.In this episode, Lisa shares her passion for supporting older striving readers. We dive into specific techniques like chunking and looping for multisyllabic words, which helps students decode 60-80% of English vocabulary by recognizing prefixes, suffixes, and roots. This approach builds not just reading skills but transferable strategies they can apply in science, social studies, and beyond.What makes this episode particularly valuable is the balance between instructional precision and human connection. Lisa reminds us that older struggling readers need teachers who believe in their potential while providing structured, explicit instruction. She offers immediately applicable strategies for building background knowledge, implementing fluency routines with purpose, and pre-teaching vocabulary to strengthen comprehension. Throughout our discussion, we emphasize that while compassion is essential, it must be paired with high expectations and collaborative effort between teacher and student.Whether you're working directly with striving readers or supporting colleagues who do, you'll walk away with concrete techniques to implement tomorrow. Listen now to discover how literacy intervention truly can change lives, and how you can be part of that transformation for your students.Read the blog: CurriculumAssociates.com/blogFollow us on Twitter: @CurriculumAssocFollow us on Instagram: @MyiReadyHave feedback, questions, or want to be a guest?

Today, we're unpacking something that will shape every relationship you have — not just in your marriage or divorce, but in parenting, friendships, work, and any relationship you'll ever build in the future.

If you're walking through divorce — whether you're still deciding, in the middle of the legal and emotional process, or already living life after — this message will help you grow better, not bitter.

Let's Flip Constant Striving For Improvement In personal development, we're always told to chase “constant and never-ending improvement.” And yes, growth matters. But what if the pressure to always improve is actually holding you back? In this 5-minute quickie, I invite you to flip that idea. Instead of endlessly striving, take a moment to recognise the incredible skills and wisdom you already have. From communication, relationships, and problem-solving to resilience and creativity — you've built a lifetime of tools. Here's the thing: if you don't use them, you risk losing them. But by consciously using what you've learned — through selfless service, sharing, and living intentionally — you keep those skills alive, and they keep growing. So today's muse is simple: stop chasing for a minute and start using. You'll not only feel richer inside but also make a difference to others around you. Because personal growth isn't just about “more” — it's about sharing what you've already got. And sharing what you hear: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq-513-lets-flip-constant-striving-for-improvement And the video link https://youtu.be/4xsaSMdFhhA Shine Brightly

In this episode, I'm joined again by my co-host, Demetrius (“D") Parker, as we continue our Coworker Chemistry series. Last time, we looked at the high-energy types (3, 7, and 8). This week, we shift gears to talk about another powerful trio: Types 1, 2, and 6, commonly known as the dutiful types.These three strategies bring such a strong sense of responsibility and group cohesion to their work and teams, though they each express it in different ways. In our conversation, we covered:Type 1 (Striving to Feel Perfect): integrity, high standards, and the pressure of an inner critic.Type 2 (Striving to Feel Connected): empathy, connection, and the challenge of people-pleasing.Type 6 (Striving to Feel Secure): loyalty, risk-awareness, and the courage it takes to ask hard questions.We also dig into how these types can complement one another, where they might clash, and what growth looks like for each...from turning “the way” into “a way,” to setting clear boundaries, to transforming fear into collaboration.Whether you identify with a 1, 2, or 6 (or work with someone who does), I think you'll find this episode full of both practical insights and real-life examples you can take back to your team.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeThe strengths and blind spots of Types 1, 2, and 6.Why these types are often the backbone of teams.Stories and analogies (including the “Mafia boss” and the six's “BS meter”) that bring these strategies to life.Practical tips for collaboration, leadership, and personal growth.And stay tuned! Our next episode will cover the remaining group: Types 4, 5, and 9.D and I both facilitate workshops on behalf of Enneagram MBA.

Ever feel like you're doing everything right…and STILL not getting the results you want? I'm talkin' late nights. Early mornings. Grinding harder. Stacking to-do lists like trophies. And yet…the outcomes? Crickets. If you're anything like me — or the elite athletes and executives I help — you've been trained to fix that by doing what you've always done: Push. Even. Harder. Why? Because that's what we were taught as athletes… Perform. Produce. PROVE your worth. But what if I told you striving might be your default...but it's TRUST that gives you your real performance upgrade? The real truth: constantly grinding isn't grit — it's a coping mechanism. And all that stress you're pushing through? It's hijacking your brain, killing your clarity, and quietly sabotaging your peak state. That's why this week's 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show is one you can't afford to miss. In this episode, you'll hear: Why working harder when you're already maxed out could be the very thing blocking your breakthrough The neuroscience behind how performance pressure hijacks your brain and kills clarity A biblical strategy to shift from striving to trusting — without sacrificing your drive How Ezekiel's obedience in a valley of dry bones reveals the secret to supernatural momentum A 3-step Drill to reset when your grind isn't producing results How grace-based effort becomes your competitive edge when rooted in trust, not hustle Key Quotes “This Drill isn't about doing nothing…it's about doing the right thing — partnering with God's power instead of forcing results in your own power.” - J.R. “Working even harder when you're already busting your tail often has diminishing returns…it often leads to worse results — because the stress in your system is hijacking your brain.” - J.R. “God's grace doesn't eliminate your discipline. It energizes it with more of HIS power.” - J.R. “Stop carrying what only God was built to hold.” - J.R. Connect with J.R.
