Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____What if the problem was never you… but the tools you were handed?Dani Donovan is an award-winning ADHD creator, bestselling author, designer, and founder of the Anti-Boring Project. Her book The Anti-Planner: How to Get Shit Done When You Don't Feel Like It has sold over 100,000 copies.Dani was diagnosed with ADHD as a freshman in college after years of being told she was too smart to have it. She did well in school, pulled all-nighters, burned herself out, and quietly assumed the everyday stuff she couldn't manage, laundry, hygiene, keeping up with life, were character flaws. They weren't. They were executive dysfunction.Once she finally understood her brain, she started translating that into art. Her ADHD comics took off fast, her first hit 100 million views and was shared by Mindy Kaling. That reach turned into something bigger: The Anti-Planner, a 100+ strategy toolkit organized around how you're feeling when you're stuck, not around dates.In this episode, Dani talks about why traditional planners fail ADHD brains, how she mapped procrastination by emotion, what tools like "how to half-ass it" look like in practice, and what she learned self-publishing 40,000 pre-orders while running a business with no business background.If you've ever felt like you were the problem because you couldn't stick with a system, this episode will shift that. You don't need one perfect tool. You need the right tool for the resistance you're facing.Resources:The Anti Planner: https://www.anti-planner.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danidonovan Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@danidonovan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danidonovanart YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dani_Donovan X: https://x.com/danidonovan Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

"I truly worry about the impact that scary claims like this can make on people's relationships with food and their bodies."Bold headlines about weight loss and health risks seem to be everywhere these days. In this episode, I unpack a meta-analysis claiming intentional weight loss may be associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality by 15% and explain what the research actually says, what it leaves out, and why the headlines don't tell the full story. I also share the emotional impact these messages can have, especially if you're struggling with food and body image, and break down the limitations of the most-cited study.What You'll Learn:How to critically analyze bold claims about weight loss and healthWhy headlines about weight and mortality are often more misleading than they seemWhat the Look AHEAD study really found (and why its impact on the meta-analysis matters)Why intentional weight loss rarely leads to the dramatic results diet culture promisesHow research often gets twisted or oversimplified to create anxiety around eating, body size, and healthSimple steps you can take to chip away at internalized anti-fat bias and widen your perspectiveResources:Meta-Analysis: Intentional weight loss and all-cause mortality: a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trialsLook AHEAD Study: Cardiovascular Effects of Intensive Lifestyle Intervention in Type 2 DiabetesGrab the Hunger & Fullness Scale Guide at DietCultureRebel.com/hungerfullnessscale and take your next step toward building trust with your body and food.Connect with me over on Instagram at @diet.culture.rebel.Struggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don't have to feel 100% ready to get support.

Struggling to dial in your nutrition? We have you covered . . . well, sort of. Nutrition and hydration vary greatly between athletes and we'll give you a LOT to think about as you train and prepare for your race. We'll look at high carb, low carb, and maybe more importantly, the right carbs. We'll talk sugar and sodium. We get into the concept of "over-fueling" and why it may be more common than you think. We get into your "work rate" and why it might be the most important variable. We look at sweat rates, when caffeine is a terrible idea, and why the swim is much more important than most people give it credit for. We talk about daily nutrition and why that sets the most important tone for everything you do in training.

Get Matt's AI Playbook: https://clickhubspot.com/rku Episode 99: What happens when a leading AI company takes a stand against the U.S. government's demands? Join Matt Wolfe (https://x.com/mreflow) and Joe Fier (linkedin.com/in/joefier) as they break down Anthropic's showdown with the Pentagon—and the price of saying no to mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. This episode dives into the high-stakes standoff between Anthropic (creators of Claude) and the U.S. government. Matt and Joe explain why Anthropic's refusal to loosen its AI's ethical guardrails could get them blacklisted as a supply chain risk, and what that unprecedented move means for the entire tech industry. They cover the implications for national security, the tech world's role in military decisions, the Pentagon's shifting alliances with other AI labs, and what it means when Silicon Valley CEOs and government officials are at odds. Plus, they demo the latest AI tools—like Google's Nano Banana 2—and dissect the present and future of AI-powered agents and automation, from Perplexity Computer to BK's new “Patty” assistant.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Jason McGovern, Richard Cracknell and Billie T as a second-half fightback fell short as we suffered another Premier League defeat with Fulham taking the points on Sunday. We discuss the nature of the defeat, if we can see any benefits whatsoever so far what Igor Tudor is trying to implement and Spurs being in this seemingly endless battle with VAR and Premier League officiating, and fans may have genuine cause for frustration with the decision to award Harry Wilson's opening goal. The Cottagers should have been out of sight as they missed a number of good chances, allowing us to get a foothold in the match when Richarlison came off the bench to pull a goal back mid-way through the second period. We battled for a much-needed equaliser but couldn't find the goal we craved to suffer a third straight defeat at Craven Cottage, while the result means we haven't won in 10 Premier League games now. Defeats this weekend for all the teams around us towards the bottom of the table mean we remain four points outside of the relegation zone.

Struggling with impulsive behaviors and meltdowns? Discover the 5 secret micro habits that build self control in kids and how small daily shifts strengthen executive functioning and emotional regulation. With expertise in Regulation First Parenting™, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge helps families decode dysregulation and build lasting calm. Self control isn't about stronger discipline or more motivation. It's a developmental brain skill built through regulated moments—not punishment. When the nervous system and executive functioning system work together, kids develop the ability to pause, delay gratification, and respond instead of react.It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. In this episode, we unpack the 5 secret micro habits that build self control in kids and how small, daily shifts help children develop real self control—without power struggles.Why does my child lack self control even with consequences?If discipline alone worked, your child would already have self discipline.When parents describe a lack of self control, they're seeing:Impulsive behaviorsExplosive emotionsTrouble waiting or delaying gratificationAvoiding tasks that require focusSelf control depends on a regulated nervous system and strong executive functioning (including working memory, self talk, and emotional control). If either system is offline, your child simply cannot access the skill—yet.Pressure doesn't build capacity. It exposes the gap.

Hello friends and listeners! Well I am back at it.  And today, we pivot back to (finally) finishing off the Mexico series, I tell the story of something tangential to Mexico but vastly important overall.  It's the story of Sylvia Odio. No...it's not time yet for Sylvia Duran...that is coming next. But let's get Sylvia Odio out of the way first.  In this  gripping mini-series premiere, we lay the groundwork for what has become known as the most explosive Oswald sighting of the Kennedy assassination. We journey from the aristocratic circles of pre-Castro Cuba to a modest garden-style apartment in Dallas, Texas, following the tragic trajectory of Sylvia Odio. As a young, recently divorced mother of four, Sylvia's world had already been shattered by the political imprisonment of her parents in Fidel Castro's dungeons, including her father's imprisonment  on the  infamous Isle of Pines. Struggling with the emotional toll of her exile and sudden poverty, she sought only a quiet life—unaware that the darkest mystery of the 20th century was about to walk right up to her front door.This prelude sets the stage for a chilling late-September evening in 1963 that would forever alter American history. We explore the shadowy world of the anti-Castro underground to understand the terrifying context of a sudden knock at Sylvia's door on Magellan Circle. Waiting in her vestibule were two militant Latin operatives using the underground "war names" Leopoldo and Angelo, accompanied by a pale, quiet American. The American was introduced to Sylvia by a name that would soon echo across the globe: "Leon Oswald". And what happened next goes directly to the assassination question itself. Join us as we begin to unravel the Odio incident, an enduring paradox that completely shatters the official narrative but also adds as many questions as it answers.  

You can do everything “right” and still not feel like you're "good enough".In this episode, I talk with Courtney, a health coach and former dancer, about growing up in diet culture, and how looking healthy on the outside doesn't always reflect how we feel on the inside.We talk about why weight loss so often backfires (hint: it's not your fault!).And we also talk about how perfectionism undermines consistency. Courtney shares how becoming a mother made her realize that there's a gap between looking healthy and actually feeling well.She explains how that insight changed the way she approaches health today.Find Courtney's book here.To get my personalized guidance to stop emotional eating and break free from cravings, plus support and accountability... apply here to join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!

Struggling with fear or discouragement? Today on 15 Minutes in the Word, Joyce helps you replace fear, guilt, worry, and insecurity with God's fearless gifts of peace and courage.

Are you stressed, stuck, or constantly comparing yourself to everyone else? The problem might not be your circumstances — it might be that you're sitting in a seat that was never assigned to you. In this message, Pastor Eric Thomas delivers a word that will shift how you see your life, your purpose, and your next season. Drawing from his own story — homeless at 16, a high school dropout eating from trash cans — Pastor Eric shows what happened when he stopped chasing everyone else's seat and got into his own. Everything changed. God didn't assign your seat by accident. Before you were born, He factored in your gifts, your history, your capacity, and your calling. He said — this seat. This flight. This moment. Your job isn't to find the best seat in the room. It's to get into the one that already has your name on it. In this message you'll discover: Why your struggle may have nothing to do with your effort — and everything to do with your seat How social media comparison is keeping you out of your assignment What it really means that God chose YOU before you ever chose Him Why some seats are seasonal — and how to trust the transfer The leadership principle: every seat has a function, not everyone is called to the mic The formula for your clearance: Calling + Confirmation + Character

Want to talk about what you're hearing in this episode with Josh and Drew and others that share your experience?https://disordered.fm/community----In this episode, Josh and Drew break down the "Stress Jug"—a metaphor designed to explain why anxiety and panic often seem to appear out of nowhere. The guys discuss how accumulated stress, both positive and negative, can cause your "threat response" to overflow, leading to sensitization and the search for a threat where none exists.The Mechanics of Overflow: How the amygdala misinterprets a full "stress jug" as immediate danger, triggering unexpected fear and physical symptoms.The Role of Meaning-Making: Why your brain creates narratives (like health anxiety or fear of "going crazy") to explain internal discomfort.Beyond "Emptying the Jug": Why recovery isn't about avoiding stress or keeping the jug empty, but learning to tolerate the overflow when life gets heavy."Meta-Stress": Understanding the additional weight of being stressed about being stressed, and how that contributes to the cycle of disordered anxiety.The "Gunk" at the Bottom: Addressing long-term factors like grief, self-esteem, or unprocessed emotions that occupy space in your jug.We're also sharing "Did It Anyway" stories from the community, including a listener's trip to Jamaica despite anxiety and a first-time solo drive after years of avoidance. These stories highlight the importance of taking action even when you don't yet believe you are safe.---The Disordered Guide to Health Anxiety is now available.

Episode 4: High‑Achieving Women Who Are Silently Struggling In this episode of Paperclips & Periods, hosts Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP‑BC, and Katharine “Katie” Krych, MSN, RN, Graduate Certificate in Nursing Education, PEL‑CSN, sit down with special guest Dr. Arlicia Miller, founder and Chief Transformation Officer of the Umbrella of Artistic Expression and life transformation coach with Dual Minds Integrative Psychiatry. Together, they dive into a topic so many women live with daily but rarely name out loud: the experience of being a high‑functioning woman who is quietly, persistently struggling beneath the surface. Drawing from Dr. Miller's transformational coaching work, Dr. Cabrera's psychiatric mental health expertise, and Katie's background in nursing and education, the conversation unpacks the hidden challenges that accompany competence, ambition, caregiving roles, and emotional labor. They explore why high‑functioning women often feel obligated to “push through,” how early conditioning reinforces silence, and why vulnerability can feel risky—even among friends, colleagues, and partners. From motherhood and marriage, to career advancement, to the weight of societal expectations, this episode explores how women learn to hold everything together externally while internally battling exhaustion, depletion, and self‑doubt. The hosts also examine how gender norms, family roles, trauma histories, and cultural narratives shape women's measurements of worthiness and success. With compassion and honesty, they discuss the “struggle bus,” the fear of judgment, the stigma around asking for help, and the labels women often carry without realizing how deeply they shape identity. Grounded in lived experience, psychology, and integrative wellness, this episode reframes “high‑functioning” not as a badge of honor, but as a clue—an invitation to pause, rest, and reconnect with one's authentic self. As always, the hosts offer thoughtful takeaways and practical strategies, including the importance of small resets, the power of journaling, the need for safe relationships, and even a guided moment of box breathing to help listeners regulate their nervous systems in real time. Reflective, relatable, and deeply human, this episode encourages women to release the myth of having it all together and replace it with a more compassionate truth: you don't have to carry everything alone. Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network syndicates content widely, partnering with dozens of platforms and directories (including TuneIn, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Spotify, and more), giving Paperclips & Periods ongoing global exposure beyond traditional podcast outlets.Paperclips & Periods aligns with the mission of Dual Minds Integrative Psychiatry, supporting whole-person care and conversations that promote emotional well-being, understanding, and growth.

Mexico is the United States' largest trading partner and home to a formidable industrial base. So why has its economy continued to underperform, with GDP growth of just 0.7 percent last year? Roberto Salinas-León, president of the Mexico Business Forum and director of the Atlas Network Initiatives for Latin America, joined “México Centered” host Tony Payan to discuss the structural challenges inhibiting Mexico's economic growth and possible ways forward, from investor uncertainty to low productivity tied to weak public investment and a large informal sector.

Creativity is a gift from God—but for many of us, it has been wounded. A harsh comment from a teacher. A dismissive word from someone we trusted. A comparison that made us feel small. Over time, criticism can silence what once felt joyful and free. Today’s devotional reminds us of a powerful truth from Ephesians 2:10: “For we are God’s handiwork.” The word handiwork implies intentional design. It means you were crafted with care. And because you were created by a creative God, His image in you includes the ability to create. When others criticized your work, they were speaking from human limitation—not divine authority. God never ridicules the sincere offering of your gifts. He delights in the heart behind what you create. Creativity isn’t only about talent or technical skill. It’s about reflecting the beauty, order, and imagination of our Creator. Whether through art, music, writing, cooking, building, designing, or problem-solving, creativity can glorify God and bless others. If your creativity feels buried, it may not be gone—it may simply need healing. The Lord can restore what discouragement tried to steal. He can renew confidence where shame once grew. And He can give you the courage to begin again. Your creative expression does not have to be perfect to be pleasing. It simply needs to be surrendered. Main Takeaways Criticism can wound creativity, but it does not erase God’s design. You are God’s handiwork, intentionally created with purpose. Creativity reflects the image of our Creator. God delights in sincere offerings, not perfection. The Lord can restore confidence and joy in creative expression. Today’s Bible Verse “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” - Ephesians 2:10 Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Heal the wounds that keep me from trying and restore the creativity You placed within me.” Listen to the full prayer here.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Your ADHD brain is one of the best storytellers in the room. The problem is it doesn't always know when it's making things up.I'm recording this two days before movers arrive, from a house I no longer own, in a t-shirt, with dilated pupils. Classic.I sold Bullfrog Farms, my six-and-a-half-acre country home, and decided to do the most opposite thing possible: move into a high-rise in San Francisco. Three HOA rejections later, all because of two small dogs named Teddy and Moe, I went from "this is inconvenient" to "we're basically going to be homeless" in under a week.That spiral brought me back to something I keep teaching but had to relearn myself. In this episode I talk about the ADHD brain's compulsive need to fill uncertainty with narrative, the difference between reacting to a story and reacting to data, why public criticism hits differently than private criticism when your nervous system has no agency, and how a misidentified baby egret became the most honest lesson of the month.If your brain has ever taken one rejection, one unanswered text, one hard week, and turned it into a verdict about your entire life, this one is for you.Resources: Website: tracyotsuka.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/tracyotsuka YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tracyotsuka4796FREE 3-days to Fall in Love With Your ADHD Brain training on Jan 6th:  https://tracyotsuka.com/ilovemybrain Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work?

What happens to a society when its boys grow up without a script for becoming men? Watch the video of this episode on YouTube here. In this conversation, Richard Reeves—author of Of Boys and Men (selected as a 2024 Summer read by President Obama), and founding president of the American Institute for Boys and Men—walks through the data and the deeper cultural currents beneath the struggle of the journey of boys becoming men. From rising male suicide rates to widening education gaps, and from sports betting addiction to body-image pressures once thought to belong mainly to girls, Reeves argues that boys and men are not so much acting out as checking out. Reeves suggests that we tore up the old scripts of masculinity—and for good reason—but never replaced them with a compelling vision of what it means to be a man today. In that vacuum, some young men retreat to screens, pornography, and gaming; others gravitate toward louder, angrier answers. But Reeves sees something else underneath the check-out: a hunger for formation, for purpose, for being told not just what not to be, but what to become. The conversation turns to the church's unique opportunity at this moment. Russell and Richard reflect on Joseph as a model of quiet strength, the importance of rites of passage, the power of male friendship, and the simple but often neglected message young men need to hear: we need you.  In a time when many men feel optional, this episode is an invitation to recover a vision of manhood rooted not in dominance or drift, but in responsibility, community, and hope.

Feeling like your solo episodes sound stiff and lack the spark that first got you excited about your show? It feels safe to have every word written down so you do not miss a single point and you might feel like you need a full podcast scripting plan to keep from rambling or to make editing easier later on.

Laden with fiction and heavy blame aimed at Democrats, President Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address in history — a sprawling, combative marathon marked by sharp mood swings, sweeping claims, and flashes of visible frustration. Familiar boasts about prices, trade, and foreign policy collided with a reality critics say doesn't match the facts, while a late-stage retirement account proposal appeared unlikely to gain traction. Was this a show of dominance — or a speech revealing political vulnerability?

What happens when the people leading your organization are silently falling apart — and no one has a system in place to help them? Psychologist and author Melissa Doman returns to Transform Your Workplace to pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked conversations in the workplace: leadership mental health. In her new book Cornered Office: Why We Need to Talk About Leadership Mental Health, Melissa makes the case that leaders have been conditioned — by biology, sociology, culture, and centuries of expectation — to hide their emotional struggles. And that silence? It's costing organizations their best people. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who leads, works with, or aspires to lead — because the cost of ignoring this conversation is far greater than the discomfort of having it. Key Timestamps [00:00] — Welcome & episode intro from host Brandon Laws; why this conversation hits home for leaders [02:00] — What's in the episode: silence, burnout, and a practical framework for leaders to talk about mental health [03:30] — Melissa on why she wrote Cornered Office — including the workshop moment in London that changed everything [07:00] — How leadership mental health has been "quietly erased" by history, biology, and social norms [10:30] — The psychology of authority, impression management, and why leaders are conditioned to hide emotional struggle [13:00] — Melissa's three-stage framework: look back, name the present, choose differently — and where leaders get stuck [16:00] — Why not every workplace is safe for this conversation, and how leaders can find external peer support [18:30] — What happens when mental health goes unaddressed: burnout, reactive behavior, and the domino effect on teams [21:00] — How identity, culture, gender, and industry shape whether a leader feels safe speaking up [24:30] — Systemic change vs. personal responsibility: why individual leaders must take full ownership of their mental health regardless of the environment [26:30] — Leadership mental health archetypes and why communicating your struggles to your team actually protects them [28:00] — How to recognize the belief systems (your internal "operating system") that may be quietly undermining your leadership [31:00] — Mental Wellbeing Non-Negotiables™: Melissa's trademarked, personalized approach to mental health care that throws out one-size-fits-all wellness advice [34:00] — Why leadership mental health is a strategic and ethical priority — not a nice-to-have [36:00] — Melissa's biggest takeaway: normalizing the humanity inside leadership is the key to its sustainability [38:00] — Where to find Melissa, her keynotes, legal compliance program, leadership mental health training, and more A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST Podcast: Transform Your Workplace, sponsored by Xenium HR Host: Brandon Laws In Brandon's own words: "The Transform Your Workplace podcast is your go-to source for the latest workplace trends, big ideas, and time-tested methods straight from the mouths of industry experts and respected thought-leaders."
