Do you ever feel like you've “tried everything” but still feel stuck? What if the real problem isn't your plan—it's your mindset? On today's episode, we're diving into how your mindset shapes your reality, why mindset is at the root of most problems, and how to strengthen it—fast. You'll learn simple, science-backed ways to shift the lens you use to see the world so your thoughts, feelings, and actions start working for you instead of against you. Some of the things I share are: Why mindset is your biggest asset (or your greatest liability) The role of the placebo effect and self-efficacy How your belief changes your performance and the outcome Three questions to quickly assess your current mindset How limiting beliefs create self-fulfilling prophecies (and how to break the cycle) A simple reframe to build a growth mindset How to train your brain not to give up How expectations shape results A quick journaling practice to track mindset shifts over time Practical strategies to start changing your mindset today Mentally Strong App Get Mental Strength for Free Subscribers Only — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode 254 Exercise ⁠Subscribe to the app to unlock all the features — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MentallyStrong.Downpat.Ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with the Show Buy a copy of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Amy on Instagram — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AmyMorinAuthor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Visit my website — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AmyMorinLCSW.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sponsors OneSkin — Get 15% off OneSkin with the code STRONGER at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.oneskin.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Quince — Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quince.com/stronger⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns!

In this empowering episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by OG Bendy Bodies cohost, Jennifer Milner.  Jen is a ballet coach, Pilates trainer, and specialist in working with hypermobile bodies. Together they explore why traditional movement cues don't always work for bendy bodies, how dancers and athletes can train smarter (not harder), and what it really takes to move with strength when your body doesn't follow the rules. From injury prevention to body awareness and emotional recovery, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone living in or coaching a flexible, fragile, or frequently misunderstood body. Takeaways What if the training cues you've always heard—like “pull your belly button in”—are actually setting hypermobile dancers up for injury? Could “engage your glutes” or other classic instructions be doing more harm than good for bendy bodies? Discover how Jennifer helps dancers feel in control of their limbs—even when movement feels disconnected or confusing. Why do so many talented performers burn out early, and how can mindset shifts and body literacy turn that story around? Learn what it really means to train with your body instead of fighting against it—especially when your body doesn't follow the rules.

Are you struggling with knee pain or want to prevent it? Today, I sit down with Laurie Kertz Kelly, a physical therapist and co-founder of the Better Knees Method, to explore a proven three-pillar approach to improving knee health without the need for medication, injections, or surgery.  She explains why X-rays don't tell the whole story, the importance of addressing joint fluid and cartilage health, and how small, targeted exercises can make a huge difference. You'll learn practical steps to lubricate your knees, strengthen cartilage, and gradually build load tolerance so you can get back to activities you love.  Plus, Laurie shares two simple exercises you can do at home to start improving knee mobility and reducing pain immediately.   "If you're having some knee pain, it's not a permanent situation. If it's arthritis, it's related to inflammation–you get rid of the inflammation, you get rid of the pain and the problems." ~ Laurie Kertz Kelly, MPT   In this episode: - [00:00] - Introduction to Laurie Kertz Kelly and the Better Knees Method - [03:36] - Why X-rays don't predict knee pain - [08:49] - Importance of joint fluid and cartilage in knee health - [13:46] - Three-pillar approach: soothing, strengthening, and mobility - [19:49] - Easy exercises: squats and chair-based movements - [21:54] - Success stories of knee pain recovery - [27:05] - Two key exercises to relieve knee pain - [31:56] - Knee replacement option - [36:04] - Using injections effectively with physical therapy - [41:33] - Step-by-step guide to quad sets and sitting sliders   Resources mentioned Healthier Knees to Support Your Bones - November 6th at 12:00 pm EST. https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/build-stronger-healthier-knees-to-support-your-bones  (Laurie will be teaching this class live with the Happy Bones, Happy Life community.

Talk to anyone who has ever performed from memory, and you'll probably get a story of a time when their memory failed them. For instance, I remember a time, perhaps in elementary school, when I got lost in a piece on stage, and rather than stopping and looking over the pianist's shoulder to see where I was, just started making stuff up, until I could figure out where I was. It wasn't a very fun experience for me, but I think it actually freaked the pianist out even more.

Every night, join Father Joseph Matlak as he ends the day with prayer and reflection.

Nonprofit leaders, when too much responsibility lands on one person's plate, the results are predictable—burnout and turnover.

You've heard people say things like, "Never give up," or "The only way to fail is to quit." But, as a therapist, I see the dangers of adopting these mantras.

Send us a textConflict doesn't have to divide your leadership team — in fact, when handled well, it can be the very thing that strengthens your culture, deepens trust, and drives innovation. In this episode, Dr. Mel unpacks why healthy conflict is essential for leadership teams and how you can start embracing it instead of avoiding it.Whether it's pushing back respectfully, hearing out different perspectives, or separating the person from the problem, you'll walk away with practical strategies to shift conflict from something uncomfortable to something your team values.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why silence is more dangerous than conflict in leadership teams.How diverse perspectives sharpen strategy and prevent blind spots.Why pushback, when done with respect, builds trust instead of tearing it down.Simple ways to separate the person from the problem so debate stays productive.The long-term payoff of healthy conflict: stronger decisions, deeper trust, and greater innovation.Action Step: At your next leadership team meeting, assign one person to be the “challenger.” Their role is to respectfully question assumptions and highlight potential risks.

In this episode of Sober Stories from Everyday People we explore one of the most asked questions: when does sobriety actually get better?The truth is, there is no single timeline. The journey begins with what can feel like a muddy and overwhelming start, with cravings, exhaustion, emotions running high and a sense of loss that can feel like saying goodbye to your best friend. Social pressures and the fear of missing out only add to the challenge, but this stage is temporary. Think of it as planting a seed. Change is happening beneath the surface, even before you see the growth.Then come the subtle shifts. The first genuine belly laugh. The first deep night's sleep. The first morning you look in the mirror and see brightness return to your eyes. These breadcrumb moments are small but powerful reminders that things are changing, one step at a time.Sobriety does not get better because of a date on the calendar, it gets better through the moments you live. A sober birthday. Dancing at a wedding without a drink. Handling stress and realising you survived it sober. Brick by brick, a new life is built.We also talk through the milestones many people notice. Thirty days when your body thanks you. Ninety days when the fog begins to lift. Six months when new rhythms feel stronger than old habits. One year when you can look back on a whole cycle of life without alcohol. Beyond that, sobriety shifts into something bigger. It becomes your normal.The turning point comes when the focus moves from what you have lost to what you have gained. Peaceful mornings. Money saved. Stronger connections. Self-respect. Trust in yourself. Joy in the little things. From there, the bigger payoffs shine through, such as better health, deeper relationships, more freedom, and the space to create the life you want.Helpful links: Get help from me directly by visiting www.sassysobermum.com Visit THRIVE Sober Coaching for sobriety guidance & resources here www.thrivesobercoaching.com Get access to my new online sobriety self-paced course here https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1930842/checkout/order_jmr0kg9w(use coupon code HALFPRICE) Join my super friendly and safe online women's sober community here: https://thrive-af-community.circle.so/checkout/thrive-subscription Email sassysobermum at thrive@sassysobermum.com Alcohol Change UKWebsite: https://www.alcoholchange.org.ukHelpline: 0800 917 8282 (Available Monday to Friday 9 AM - 8 PM)Mind (Mental Health Support)Website: https://www.mind.org.ukHelpline: 0300 123 3393NHS Alcohol Support ServicesWebsite: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/alcohol-misuse

On this episode of The Impact Driver Podcast, host Holly Chen sits down with Nickolas Gagliardi to get us thinking about USAC events as routesetters gear up for the upcoming youth competition season. Nick started setting in 2015 in St. Paul, Minnesota. While that beginning was only ten years ago, Nick experienced the industry when many setters were still getting paid by the route and boulder, specifically: $7 a boulder, $11 a top-rope route, $15 a lead route and $26 for setting the roof. From there, Nick moved to Colorado where he set at the Earth Treks gyms—now Movement—before he finally landed in Portland, Oregon. Now, Nick is a USAC Level 3 routesetter and the Director of Setting at Portland Rock Gym. When he's not setting, Nick is often climbing outdoors, playing video games, and trying to get better at Go. General Topics Covered The history of Portland Rock Gym's Beaverton location, designed with setters and competitions in mind Key elements of a competition-ready gym Communicating with members about hosting USAC competitions Preparing to host Youth Nationals Lessons learned from hosting Youth Nationals—and what could be done differently next time Managing relationships between in-house and guest setters Setting novice routesetters up for success in their first competition Professional development opportunities for experienced competition setters Show Notes Find Nick Gagliardi on Instagram Portland Rock Gym 2025 Youth National Championships at the Portland Rock Gym, Beaverton USA Climbing Routesetters USAC Boulder QE Setting Guidelines and Top Rope/Lead Guidelines USAC Rulebook You're Stronger if You're Honest: Behind the Wrench With Abby Wilson  More: other episodes of The Impact Driver Podcast that look at competition team dynamics:  Setting the Tone: What Makes a Space Feel Good? – CBJ Podcast with Jesse Safford No One Sets Alone: Collective Authorship – CBJ Podcast with Ruth Jang “You Can Strip My Boulder.” – CBJ Podcast with Blake Green Closing Notes If you'd like to nominate someone as a next guest, have a topic you want to see us tackle or have questions, we'd love for you to reach out.

Jenny: Inclusive capital advocacy.The future of regulated investment crowdfunding is being shaped not just by markets but by the voices that advocate for fair, effective policies in Washington. Jenny Kassan, President of the Crowdfunding Professional Association (CfPA), has emerged as a leading champion of this work. The association's upcoming summit and the advocacy efforts that precede it illustrate the growing momentum behind this movement.Jenny explained, “The Crowdfunding Professional Association represents the crowdfunding industry, the regulated investment crowdfunding industry. This is everyone who's involved in trying to make it easier for small businesses, entrepreneurs, changemakers, artists, everyone who has the ability to offer an investment opportunity to be able to offer it to everybody, everybody in the country.”The October summit in Washington, D.C., highlights the growing traction of this movement. Jenny shared that this year, the CfPA is securing more meetings with members of Congress and the Senate who influence financial market rules. That progress signals a growing recognition of the industry's role in democratizing access to capital.Speakers at the summit will include SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, known for her balanced approach to fostering innovation while maintaining sensible regulation, and James Murphy from FINRA, the body overseeing day-to-day regulation of crowdfunding platforms. These perspectives, alongside industry leaders like Mark Elenowitz, will help issuers, investors, and platforms better navigate the complex regulatory landscape.Jenny was candid about the rapid changes unfolding in this space, especially around emerging technologies like crypto. “The industry is really evolving quickly. Even though there haven't been any law changes yet, there's been a huge, huge evolution and rapid change in the space,” she noted. Panels on crypto and digital assets will explore how innovation intersects with regulation, underscoring the importance of ongoing dialogue with policymakers.The CfPA summit is more than a conference. It is the culmination of months of advocacy, uniting stakeholders to strengthen the rules that govern investment crowdfunding. By convening entrepreneurs, investors, regulators, and industry professionals, the event will serve as a platform to share knowledge, influence policy, and build momentum for greater capital access.Jenny's leadership highlights that regulated investment crowdfunding is still young but brimming with potential. Her efforts—and those of the CfPA—help ensure the system grows into a tool that works for everyone.tl;dr:Jenny Kassan explained how the Crowdfunding Professional Association advocates in Washington to strengthen rules for regulated investment crowdfunding.She shared details about the upcoming summit, including meetings with legislators, regulators, and key industry experts.Jenny emphasized the importance of balanced regulation, highlighting insights from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and FINRA's James Murphy.She described how crowdfunding empowers underrepresented entrepreneurs, often outperforming traditional fundraising sources like venture capital and banks.Jenny encouraged participation in the CfPA and its summit, reminding listeners that inclusive access to capital benefits everyone.How to Develop Inclusive Capital Advocacy As a SuperpowerJenny described her superpower as her ability to advocate for inclusive access to capital. She explained that her passion lies in helping entrepreneurs—especially those underrepresented in traditional finance—gain the resources they need to thrive. As she put it, “We see like women, people of color, people that don't come from the top schools or from wealthy families often are quite successful with regulation crowdfunding, sometimes even more so. That's the reason I love the tool so much.”Her superpower is evident in her consistent championing of entrepreneurs who face barriers to traditional funding. By focusing on regulated investment crowdfunding, she empowers founders to bypass gatekeepers and reach communities of investors who share their vision.One story illustrates this clearly: Jenny highlighted data showing that diverse and under-resourced founders often raise more successfully through crowdfunding than through venture capital, angel groups, or banks. That success proves that crowdfunding levels the playing field. For Jenny, seeing women and people of color outperform traditional fundraising norms affirms the power of her mission.Jenny offered valuable insights for developing this superpower:Recognize who is excluded by traditional systems and design new ways to include them.Focus on building tools and structures that make participation easier for everyone.Ground advocacy in data that demonstrates success outside the status quo.Persist in championing change even when mainstream systems resist.By following Jenny's example and advice, you can make inclusive capital advocacy a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

What if every “failure” you've had wasn't proof that you're not good enough.... but the exact doorway to the deeper wisdom you've been seeking?In this episode of the Mastering Mindfulness Institute Podcast, I unpack one of the most paralyzing struggles we face: the fear of failure.✨ You'll discover:Why repeated “failures” with diets, programs, or goals can feel so crushing, and what's really happening beneath the surface.How childhood conditioning shaped our belief that failing means we aren't enough.The surprising truth about perfectionism (and why it's actually a form of protection).A radical reframe that dissolves shame and transforms failure into an opportunity for self-trust, curiosity, and growth.Practical steps you can take today to rise stronger and move toward your desires, even if you've let yourself down before.This isn't just an inspirational pep talk. It's a new way of seeing yourself and your relationship with food, your body, and your goals. It removes the pressure of “passing or failing” and opens the door to deeper freedom.

On this episode of the Common Good Data Podcast, Drew Reynolds and Roger Suclupe sit down with Dr. Victor Amaya, President and Executive Director of Data You Can Use in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dr. Amaya shares how his organization flips the traditional research model on its head by starting with communities first. Instead of merely extracting data, his team listens, co-creates with residents, and keeps data in the hands of the people who know their neighborhoods best.Together, they explore what it means to truly democratize data—turning raw statistics into clarity, trust, and actionable change. The conversation highlights practical tools like neighborhood dashboards and indicators, and digs into big initiatives such as addressing life expectancy gaps and developing a localized wealth index. Dr. Amaya emphasizes that data isn't about proving, it's about improving, and that lasting impact comes from relationships, accessibility, and genuine community voice.In this episode, we'll discuss:Why democratizing data starts with listening to neighborhoods and residents.How trust and relationships transform research into community-driven impact.Practical tools like neighborhood dashboards and indicators that make data accessible.Tackling big challenges such as life expectancy gaps and wealth disparities with data.The power of co-creation: moving from numbers to narratives to action.Whether you're a nonprofit leader, social sector professional, or simply passionate about equitable community outcomes, this episode offers fresh insights on how to use data to build stronger, healthier, and more connected neighborhoods.

This week, Kaitlyn tackle a kid's big question: “I know there's one true God, but are there little gods beneath him?” From Psalm 82 to Job and Paul, the Bible's language about gods, angels, demons, and spiritual powers is stranger than most of us realize. Kaitlyn unpacks what these passages mean, why scripture sometimes blurs the line between human rulers and spiritual beings, and how it all points back to the hope that the one true God reigns above every power.   Holy Post Plus: My Hill to Die On: Red Letter Bibles: https://www.patreon.com/posts/my-hill-to-die-138522925   0:00 - Theme Song   0:58 - Are There Little gods in the Bible?   3:26 - Psalm 82 mentions “gods?”   10:28 - Are these gods extensions of rulers?   12:13 - Sponsor - Dwell - Listen to scripture throughout your day.

Back pain is one of the most common—and most misunderstood—health challenges, affecting 8 out of 10 people in their lifetime. In this episode of Body of Wonder, Dr. Victoria Maizes and Dr. Andrew Weil welcome Dr. Sanjiv Lakhia, a double board-certified physiatrist and integrative medicine physician, to explore why back pain is so prevalent and what we can do about it. Dr. Lakhia shares insights from his clinical work and personal journey, highlighting the importance of posture, breath, muscle balance, and the mind-body connection. He discusses strategies for prevention, tools for recovery, and when more advanced therapies like injections, red light therapy, or minimally invasive surgery may be appropriate. Together, they address central sensitization, the power of stress reduction, and practical exercises that can help strengthen the spine and restore resilience. If you're managing chronic pain or looking for ways to protect your back for the long term, this discussion offers evidence-based, integrative approaches to managing back pain and maintaining mobility.

You may have heard people say, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." We've probably all witnessed times when this hasn't been the case. If we belong to and have entrusted our lives to Jesus, however, we can know with certainty that He will indeed use our most difficult and painful seasons to deepen our faith and intimacy with Him. In this episode, Jennifer Slattery introduces you to a powerful episode from another Life Audio podcast host, Sarah Young from Jesus Calling and two individuals who endured soul-crushing seasons that could've destroyed their faith. Praise God, by His grace, that's not His story. This episode is for everyone desperately clinging to hope during hardship and all those who love to hear and celebrate life stories that reveal the tender, faithful care and love of Christ. Listen to more of Jesus Calling here and join us next week to hear Carol McCracken's faith-building conversation with Terry Crist author of Now You canStop Running. Make sure to let us know in the review section of your podcast app what you thought of our last two feed drops––would you be open to hearing more the next time Carol and I take a brief break, or would you prefer we still with our regular programming. Go in grace and the love and power of Christ, my friend! Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Do you spend a lot of time worrying about whether someone is mad at you? Do you avoid sharing your opinion because you don't want to be disliked? If so, you might be engaging in fawning—a survival response that drives people-pleasing behavior. I'm joined by Meg Josephson, psychotherapist and bestselling author of Are You Mad at Me?. Together, we explore the roots of fawning, how it impacts our lives, and the steps you can take to stop worrying about what others think and start living for yourself. Some of the things we talk about are: What fawning is and how it differs from people-pleasing. Why fawning is a survival response that has likely protected you in the past. The signs you might be fawning. The dangers of becoming a people-pleaser. Why relationships are the key to healing from fawning. How to learn reconnect with your own needs.

Hey, hey beautiful human… Welcome back to another episode of Embrace Your Real. Today we are diving into something that almost every woman asks me about at some point: How do I actually build a strong core? You've probably done the ab workouts on YouTube, you've probably cranked out crunches or planks at the end of your workouts, and maybe you've even felt the burn, but you still don't feel stronger in your core.  If you're wondering why you don't “see” all that effort in the mirror, I've got the answer you've been looking for… there are sneaky little mistakes that so many women make when it comes to core training. And today, I want to break those down for you in plain English so you understand not only what they are, but why they matter, and what to do instead. So in this episode, we're going to cover: The difference between abs and your actual core Why crunches alone won't cut it How compound lifts are secretly the best core training Why bracing during your lifts matters more than you think The problem with fast, flashy ab circuits How stress and hormones sneak in and mess with your core And why nutrition and recovery are the real secret sauce for definition and strength
