Podcasts about struggling

Born in Grand Junction, Colorado, our guest's story begins in the rugged working-class towns of the American West and South—places where grit wasn't optional, it was survival. Raised in a coal mining family, with both parents working under his grandfather and a father who spent years as a roughneck, he grew up surrounded by hard labor, discipline, and resilience. Life wasn't always easy. His father battled alcoholism and could be harsh at times, but through the chaos came lessons in toughness, accountability, and perseverance. Sports like hockey, baseball, and football became an outlet during an otherwise grounded, blue-collar upbringing that would shape the man he would later become. In December 2004, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, beginning a journey that would forever alter the course of his life. After completing infantry school and Airborne training at Fort Benning, he earned his place as a sniper with 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry. Deployed to Southeast Baghdad in 2006, he endured the brutal realities of combat, surviving multiple near-death experiences and earning two Purple Hearts after a bombing and a devastating VBIED attack on his patrol base. The scars of war followed him home—both visible and invisible—and the battle for survival didn't end when the deployment did. What came next was a downward spiral few saw coming. Struggling to adjust after the military, one bad decision led to another—eventually pulling him into addiction, drug dealing, and a prison sentence that could have defined the rest of his life. But in June 2017, everything changed when he got sober from opiates and began rebuilding from the ground up. After his release, he met the woman who would become his wife, started a family, and rediscovered his faith. Today, while continuing to battle a liver disease connected to illnesses contracted during deployment, he stands as a living example of resilience, redemption, and the possibility of rebuilding a life after trauma, addiction, and war.   Find Cody Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cody.boden/   Find The Suffering Podcast The Suffering Podcast Instagram Kevin Donaldson Instagram Apple Podcast Spotify Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Struggling with worry and anxiety? No matter what you're struggling with, discover how to cast your cares on God.Receive It's easy to feel overwhelmed with worries, cares, and anxious thoughts, but you're not meant to carry all those burdens on your own. Jesus said not to worry, and the apostle Paul said to cast all your cares on God.  What are you worried about?  What may be hindering you from trusting God with your worries, anxious thoughts, cares, and concerns?  What could your next step toward trusting God more and worrying less look like?  Reflect  How does it feel knowing that God wants you to cast all your cares on Him as it says in 1 Peter 5:7 and that we're to be anxious for nothing as you read in Philippians 4:6–7? How does Matthew 6:19–34 help you to not worry so much about tomorrow? How does the good soil Jesus mentioned in His parable found in Luke 8:4–18 differ from the other soil He mentioned? How can you stay focused on what matters most like Mary in Luke 10:38– 42 instead of being distracted by good things like Martha?  How does Timothy's genuine concern for the well-being of the Philippian church that the apostle Paul commended him for in Philippians 2:14–24 differ from unhealthy worry?    Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You that I don't have to be consumed with worry and anxious thoughts. Thank You that I can go to You with all my cares and concerns. Help me to keep trusting You no matter my circumstances.”         Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Resilient  Bible Engagement and "The Power of 4": A Key to Spiritual Growth| Center for Bible Engagement| Our Daily Bread  Listen: Resilient  Don't Worry!  Read: The Resilient Life  How Can We Put Our Worries to Work for Us? Watch: Uncovering Resilient Faith with Lina AbuJamra (Unshakable Moxie) Worrying Steals Your Days - Luke 12:25

Improving vs. Optimizing in Anxiety RecoveryIn this episode of Disordered, Drew and Josh tackle a topic suggested by the community: the hidden trap of the "optimization culture" and how it intersects with anxiety and OCD.There is a distinct difference between wanting to improve your health and falling into compulsive, perfectionist territory where every metric must be flawlessly managed. For an anxious mind fixated on certainty, the modern wellness industry's obsession with biohacking, strict routines, and endless supplements can quickly become a tool for emotional avoidance. If you are optimizing your life just to prevent feeling anxious, you are inadvertently teaching your brain that you cannot handle discomfort.Drew and Josh break down why checking out of the optimization loop and building psychological flexibility is essential for long-term recovery. They also share a couple of incredible "Did It Anyway" audio wins from the listener community, highlighting real-world victories over agoraphobia and situational panic.--Want to ask questions about this episode or interact with Josh, Drew, and others that share your experience? We're hanging out in the Disordered Community space:https://disordered.fm/community---Improvement vs. Optimization: Improving is about a flexible desire for growth; optimization often stems from a rigid need to control variables and avoid difficult feelings.The Routine Trap: When your wellness routine gets the credit for you feeling okay, you miss out on learning that you are capable of tolerating distress on your own.The Illusion of Control: Optimization culture survives by capturing your attention through fear, selling the false promise that you can micromonitor your way out of the human condition.Managing Actual Health Conditions: When dealing with legitimate medical issues, recovery means learning to distinguish between practical, non-anxious monitoring and urgent, compulsive checking.---The Disordered Guide to Health Anxiety is available as a paperback or on Kindle⁠https://www.disordered.fm/the-disordered-guide-to-health-anxiety/⁠---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control?

Struggling to lose fat and actually keep it off? It's not a magic macro ratio or the perfect workout plan that gets you lasting results...it's finding the weird variations of habits that fit who YOU are. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 7 weird habits and mindset shifts that helped me lose fat, build lean muscle, and maintain my body recomposition results long term.You'll learn why I said "eff it" to clean eating and started planning dessert FIRST, how 3-week workout progressions helped me build muscle without burning out, why telling myself I'd "track macros forever" actually made tracking easier, and how planning meals out at restaurants kept me consistent during fat loss without feeling like "that person on a diet." Plus, I share why doing the minimums BEFORE you need them is the secret to staying consistent through the holidays, busy seasons, and life changes — and the one bonus mindset shift that prepares you for anything that could derail your progress.Whether your goal is fat loss, building muscle, or full body recomp, these sustainable habits will help you stop the all-or-nothing dieting cycle, find food freedom, and create results that actually last.

When my son Enzo was using fentanyl and Xanax and blowing up every structure I tried to build around him, I kept asking the wrong question. What I wasn't asking was what was happening inside him that he couldn't put words to. He was a teenager with an unmedicated ADHD brain, getting more reinforcement and belonging from the drug world than anywhere else in his life, and he had no way to tell me that.Enzo is back on the podcast today with something specific: the things kids who are actively struggling can't necessarily say but really wish their parents understood. When I asked what he would have wanted me to know back then, Enzo told me about a kid he recently mentored who, when asked the same question, said the only thing he wanted his parents to know was, “I'm trying.” And Enzo realized that was exactly it. Not that the drugs were working. Not that his choices were okay. Just that from inside his brain, he was doing something that felt like trying.Enzo is now the founder of Life Strategies Mentors, a mentoring program for young men navigating recovery and reintegration. He's in his late-twenties, expanding his team, building a life that not long ago did not seem survivable.This conversation covers a lot of ground, from the fish love parable that reframed how I think about parental expectations, to what ADHD does to the brain's relationship with substances, to why kids sometimes listen to a near-stranger before they will listen to their own parents. That last one is not a failure of the relationship. It is biology. Knowing that changes something.If you have been watching your kid and thinking they are not even trying, this one is for you.YOU'LL LEARN:The fish love parable, and the question it forces you to ask about your own parentingWhy “I'm trying” is the one thing a struggling kid most wishes their parents could hearWhat ADHD actually does to the brain's relationship with substances, and why warnings don't landThe biology behind why kids listen to mentors before they listen to parentsThe one skill Enzo says made the biggest difference when he was finally ready to changeEPISODE RESOURCES:Life Strategies Mentors websiteFish Love story on YouTubeEnzo on Hopestream podcast episodes #251 and #185ADHD Resources:Dr. Gabor Mate's book, “Scattered Minds”Dr. Russell Barkley on YouTubeDr. Ned Hallowell on Hopestream episode 99 (ADHD as a Superpower)This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Most women don't plan to stay stuck. They don't wake up and decide: "Let's spend another season avoiding what's really bothering me." But that's often what happens. Life gets busy. Schedules fill up. The days start running together. The drinking continues. The distractions multiply. And before you know it, summer is over. Then September arrives with a familiar feeling: Regret. Regret that nothing really changed. Regret that you spent another season putting yourself last. Regret that the goals, healing, and growth you wanted somehow got pushed aside again. Here's the question I've been thinking about: What will this summer cost you if nothing changes? What will it cost your peace? Your health? Your relationships? Your confidence? Your purpose? Imagine instead arriving at the end of summer feeling stronger, clearer, more grounded, and proud of the commitments you kept to yourself. That's why I've opened a few spots for summer coaching. Whether you're a former client interested in the Summer Growth Pass or you're new and curious about getting support , I'd love to help you create a different ending to this summer. Email me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com Here are those journal questions I promised:  If nothing changes between now and Labor Day, how will I feel about myself? What promises have I been making to myself that I continue to break? What is it costing me emotionally to keep repeating the same patterns? How is overdrinking affecting my confidence and trust in myself? How is it impacting my relationship with God? What opportunities, experiences, or growth am I missing because I keep postponing change? If I continue exactly as I am for the next 90 days, what will likely be different? What will likely stay the same? What would I be most proud of if I looked back on this summer in September? What support do I need that I'm currently not giving myself? What's one decision I know I need to make today? Bonus Question: If I knew freedom, growth, and healing were possible, what would I do next?

Episode Summary: When someone you love is living with PTSD, it can leave you feeling helpless, confused, and afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing. You want to help—but what if your well-intended words make things worse? In honor of PTSD Awareness Month, Rev. Jessica Van Roekel and I address the questions so many caregivers, spouses, friends, and family members quietly ask: How do I support someone with PTSD? What helps? What hurts? And how do I walk with them without losing myself? This conversation offers practical guidance, psychological insight, and biblical hope for anyone loving someone through trauma. On a recent episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, I offered an episode discussing Understanding PTSD: What it Is, What It Isn't, and How God Meets Us in the Aftermath of Trauma. We are continuing this important discussion with How to Help a Loved One Who Is Struggling with PTSD: What to Do and What Not to Do. Quotables from the Episode: PTSD is not a character issue or a lack of effort. It's a nervous system injury. What looks like withdrawal, irritability, or emotional distance is often the brain doing its best to keep a person safe. Change does not mean broken beyond repair. The brain is wounded, but it's also capable of healing. When we name trauma responses accurately, we reduce shame and increase compassion. PTSD behaviors are not about a lack of love. They're about a lack of felt safety. A regulated nervous system helps regulate another nervous system. You don't have to fix the trauma, but your calm, consistent presence communicates safety. Validation quiets the brain's alarm system and reduces emotional intensity. Trauma healing doesn't follow a timeline. It follows safety. Loving someone with PTSD is not about doing everything right. It's about doing your best with compassion.

There's a concept you've probably heard before — set point.And in the world of dieting, it's often explained in one very limited way:“Your body prefers a certain weight.”But in this episode, I expand that idea into something far more honest… and far more empowering.Because your set point isn't just about your metabolism.1. Why Weight Always “Comes Back”You'll hear I intentionally use the term weight loss — and explain why that language matters.Because what we lose, we subconsciously try to regain.That's why:You can lose 20 pounds… and gain it backYou can try different diets… and end up in the same placeYou can feel like you're doing everything “right”… and still feel stuckIt's not a lack of discipline.It's that your body is returning to its current set point — the environment it recognizes as “normal.”2. Your Body Is a Reflection of Your Internal EnvironmentThis episode anchors into a powerful truth:Your physical body reflects your internal environment.That includes:Your weightYour aches and painsYour habits and self-sabotaging behaviorsThey're not random.They're signals.And instead of trying to control the body…I invites you to look at what's shaping it.3. The Biggest Lie About Set PointDiet culture teaches that your set point is determined by:MetabolismCaloriesExerciseMuscle massGeneticsAnd yes — those factors play a role.But they're not the full picture.Because if they were…changing your food alone would permanently change your weight.And for most people — it doesn't.4. Your Set Point Is Your Entire “Diet”And here's where everything shifts:Your diet is not just food.Your diet is:What you watchWhat you listen toWho you surround yourself withWhat you scroll throughWhat you tolerateWhat you repeatedly think and feelYour environment becomes your biology.5. Stress, Cortisol & Why You Feel StuckThis episode connects the dots between stress and weight in a deeper way.Because stress isn't just something you “feel.” It's something you consume.And it directly impacts your internal environment — which shapes your set point.So even if:You're eating “healthy.”You're exercising consistentlyIf your system is constantly in:pressurecomparisonanxietyurgencyYour body will adapt to that as your normal.6. The Invisible Influences You're OverlookingI call out something most people don't want to hear — but need to:Your set point is influenced by:Your friendsYour familyYour work environmentYour social mediaYour entertainment choicesIf your environment constantly triggers:comparisoninadequacypressure“not enough” energy…it reinforces a version of you that your body will reflect.7. Your Thoughts & Emotions Shape Your Set PointThis might be the most important piece:Your thoughts and emotions are part of your diet.If you consistently experience:anxietystressguiltshameoverwhelmThat becomes your internal baseline.And your body responds accordingly.Not because it's working against you —but because it's trying to stay consistent with what feels familiar.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

In a portfolio career, requests have a funny way of multiplying. A speaking gig here, a board invite there, a coffee catch-up that sounds valuable but drains you for days. The answer to all of them is technically "yes" right up until the moment it isn't. Katie is 18 months into consulting and a portfolio career, and she came to me with a problem a lot of people share: she's getting busier, she cares deeply about protecting time for values-driven work, and saying no is a muscle she's still building. This episode is part of The Work Edit, a format on How I Work where I sit down with someone facing a real professional challenge and we work through it together live. We cover my yes triage framework, the no club concept, the to-don't list, the never again list, and a simple rule called the next Tuesday test. Katie and I discuss: The yes triage: three questions to run every request through before deciding, and why you need a "hell yes" to at least two of them Why saying yes out of flattery or guilt is so common, and how to catch yourself doing it The no club: how a small group of trusted colleagues can give you the objective perspective you can't give yourself The to-don't list and how to use it monthly to protect your energy from the things you already know drain you The never again list for the spectacularly bad decisions you keep forgetting you made Why a slow no is not polite and why a fast no within 24 hours is almost always the kinder move The next Tuesday test: how to reality-check a far-off commitment by imagining it was happening this week Key quotes "A slow no is actually unkind because the other person is just waiting and probably following up when they could already be finding someone who'll say yes." "What all these strategies do is reduce cognitive load. There's no longer a decision to make. There's just a rule to follow." My latest book The Energy Game is out on July 7, 2026.

How This Is Building Me, hosted by world-renowned oncologist D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, is a podcast focused on the highs and lows, ups and downs of all those involved with cancer, cancer medicine, and cancer science across the full spectrum of life's experiences.In this episode, guest host Erin Schenk, MD, PhD, at the University of Colorado Anschutz in Aurora, an associate professor of medicine in the Division of Medical Oncology, sat down with D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, to highlight Dr Camidge's storied career and life. Driven by a relentless curiosity that often manifested in him "interrogating" those around him, Camidge chose a career in medicine because of the immediate effect he saw it could have on people's lives.His path included a formative gap year working at McDonald's and serving as a caregiver for a man with cerebral palsy. After studying at Oxford, he faced a significant professional and personal low when pursuing his PhD at Cambridge. Struggling with a difficult project, he persevered by pivoting his research and finding resilience through peers, eventually returning to practicing clinical medicine and finding his calling in oncology due to its unique overlap of molecular biology and opportunities for deep patient connection.Seeking further opportunities, Dr Camidge moved to the United States to lead the lung cancer program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He became a pivotal figure in the development of targeted therapies, specifically crizotinib for ALK-positive lung cancer. Beyond drug development, he championed the use of molecular profiling and established a global remote second opinion program.In 2022, Dr Camidge's perspective shifted profoundly following his own lung cancer diagnosis. This experience forced him to evolve from a "questioning machine" into someone more amenable to accepting love and support. He now integrates this dual perspective into his work, emphasizing that oncology must go beyond science to address the human experience of treating real people.
