Lately, I've been seeing a TON of retirement planning content telling people:"Don't work another year. Retire now. You're wasting time."And honestly… as a retirement-focused financial planner, that message kind of rubs me the wrong way.Not because it's always wrong… but because I think there's an angle behind it.In today's episode, we break down what One More Year Syndrome really is, why it's become such a popular retirement planning trend on YouTube and podcasts, and why you may want to take this advice seriously… but also why you might need to take it with a grain of salt.Because retirement isn't just about sitting on the beach 7 days a week.Retirement should be about purpose, meaning, freedom, and using your time, talents, and treasure in the way that matters most.I also share a powerful story from a recent conversation with a prospective client who reached out after losing three of his closest friends last year, and how that kind of wake-up call can completely change the way you think about retirement timing.At the end of this episode, I give you 3 questions to ask yourself to determine whether you're truly delaying retirement for financial reasons… or if you're simply afraid of stepping into the unknown.If you're in your 50s or early 60s, have saved $1M+ for retirement, and you're wondering whether you should retire now or work longer, this episode is for you. ✅ Questions Covered In This Episode:Should I retire now or work one more year?Is One More Year Syndrome real?How do I know if I'm financially ready to retire?How do I find purpose after retirement?What if I retire too early?What if I wait too long and regret it? ⛳ PFR Nation (Who This Is For)If you're over 50, have saved seven figures (or multiple seven figures), love golf and travel, and you want to make work optional while minimizing taxes… welcome to the right place.

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge a belief that quietly sabotages high performers. You can push harder, grind longer, and sacrifice sleep for a while, but eventually your body collects the debt. Drawing from their own experiences with fatigue, recovery, and years of coaching clients, they break down why longevity habits influence focus, productivity, and long-term success far more than motivation alone. Most people chase results without realizing the foundation underneath them is unstable. This episode connects sleep, health, and discipline to the outcomes people want most but rarely trace back to their daily choices. If you want more energy, clearer thinking, and sustainable growth, this conversation will recalibrate your priorities. Do not wait for burnout to teach you what discipline can teach you now._______________________Learn more about:Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

This episode is a rich and timely conversation about how we relate to what we know in an age of constant change and AI.My guest is Dr. Laila Marouf, a former academic who spent more than two decades researching and teaching knowledge management before having a powerful realization during the early months of the pandemic: the systems and structures she'd been focused on were designed for stable times, not for the uncertainty and disruption we're all living through now.Out of that insight, she developed the concept of knowledge mindfulness - a more human, integrated approach that connects what we know (our “knowing”) with how we show up (our “being”) and the choices we make (our “doing”), all within the real context of our lives and work.In this episode, you'll hear:The difference between traditional knowledge management and knowledge mindfulnessWhy knowledge isn't something to hoard as an asset, but a living system that needs to be nurtured and sharedHow to navigate the “fog” of uncertainty with small, thoughtful steps instead of searching for one big, perfect answerThe role of trusted others, wisdom, and unity in a world where AI can outperform us on information and efficiencyWe also talk about what this means for your leadership, your business, and your life, especially if you've been feeling like you're on a treadmill, craving more meaning, spaciousness, and alignment in how you work and live.About My Guest: Dr. Laila Marouf is Founder and Chief Knowledge Officer of Knowledge Mindfulness LLC. , an organization dedicated to evolving leaders' knowledge maturity to achieve holistic success through the use of Knowledge Mindfulness approach and strategy. Dr. Marouf has a PhD in information science with a focus on knowledge management. From there, she has embarked on a long career as a professor, researcher, consultant, and academic leader. In her book “Knowledge Mindfulness: The Interconnections that Help Leaders Transform Their Business and Life,” Dr. Marouf presents a transformative new approach to knowledge management for both individuals and organizations. Applying cutting-edge research from the worlds of business, economics, psychology, neuroscience, and the social sciences, she reveals more holistic, effective, and humane ways of harnessing knowledge to build trusting relationships and drive positive and responsible impact.

Marriage shutdown does not usually happen all at once. It builds slowly through emotional exhaustion, repeated disappointment, and the belief that nothing will change. Over time, couples start protecting themselves by pulling back, going quiet, or emotionally checking out.In this episode, I'm breaking down the most common mindset traps that keep couples stuck in shutdown. These are the thoughts that feel protective in the moment but quietly block repair, connection, and movement forward. I explain how these patterns show up, why they make sense, and what actually helps you begin shifting out of shutdown without forcing conversations or pretending everything is fine.Tune in to discover:• What marriage shutdown really looks like over time• The mindset traps that keep couples emotionally stuck• Why self protection often blocks connection• How fear and hopelessness reinforce shutdown• What helps you begin reconnecting safely and slowlyConnect with me for a FREE Married After Kids Intervention Call: https://marriedafterkids.satoriapp.com/offers/277730-married-after-kids-intervention-callFREE Marriage Shutdown Checklist: https://marriedafterkids.com/marriage-shutdown?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=links&utm_campaign=MSoptin60 Min Marriage Shutdown Breakthrough Call: https://marriedafterkids.satoriapp.com/offers/306057-marriage-shutdown-breakthrough-callFREE TRAINING!

You're always selling something. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan redefine sales as a core leadership skill, not a sleazy tactic. Influence shapes every outcome in your career, your relationships, and your growth. The real question is whether you are using it consciously. This conversation cuts through the noise around persuasion, trust, credibility, and effective communication. Sales is not pressure. It is clarity. It is the ability to transfer conviction so others can see what you already see. If you cannot communicate value, you cannot lead. If you cannot build trust, you cannot scale. Stop avoiding the skill that determines your ceiling. Build it._______________________Learn more about:Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

Message from Jonathan Quinones on February 15, 2026
If “I don't have time” is your most-used sentence…while you're also exhausted, overwhelmed and secretly scared of burning out again, this episode is for you.In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we pull apart what's really going on when you feel like you have to do everything perfectly or there's no point doing anything at all.We talk about:- Why trying to overhaul your entire life in one hit always ends the same way: burnout, guilt and another restart.- The mental load of work, kids, home, health and why your brain is already full before you even think about the gym.- How “I'll start when things calm down” keeps you stuck for years.- The power of a few simple non-negotiables – tiny anchors that keep you steady when life gets chaotic.- How to build a routine that fits your real life, not the fantasy version in your head.If you're sick of starting strong and crashing a few weeks later, or feeling like the only way to change is to run yourself into the ground, this episode will help you swap doing it all for doing what matters…consistently.
Overthinking? Stuck in thought spirals? Racing thoughts? If your mind won't switch off and you feel trapped in your own head, this episode of the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast is for you. This week I'm exploring what's really going on when an overactive mind ramps up. I'll also dig into why anxiety and overthinking can fuel rumination, worst-case thinking and catastrophising, and we'll talk about why “just stop thinking!” doesn't work when your nervous system is on high alert. I'll guide you through a practical, real-life way of dealing with overthinking: calm your nervous system with simple nervous system regulation first, then use a clear step-by-step process to interrupt thought spirals and choose what actually deserves your attention. By the end of this episode you'll know how to stop overthinking in the moment, how to calm your mind more quickly, and what you can do to build habits that stop negative thought spirals from running your life.
Have you ever had a coaching client who's engaged, reflective, and genuinely trying — but you keep coming back to the same issue session after session? In this episode, I'm talking about what's really going on when coaching feels stuck even though your client is doing the work. This is a common experience for coaches, and it's not a sign that you're failing — it's usually a signal that something important hasn't been addressed yet. I walk you through: What I specifically listen for when sessions start going in circles Two of the most common reasons progress stalls with motivated clients How I name patterns (and the "elephant in the room") without judgment or pressure Why this is one of the most challenging — and important — coaching skills to develop If you've ever left a session thinking, “We talked a lot, but nothing really shifted,” this episode will help you understand why — and what to do next time.

Are you building the next level, or just surviving the current one?In this episode, Kevin and Alan unpack why growth often feels heavier than expected. New environments disrupt rhythm. Bigger goals demand a stronger identity. Success increases responsibility. Drawing on years of coaching and a catalog of hard-earned lessons, they explain why perspective is a performance skill and why thinking in decades, not days, changes the game.If you feel stretched or slightly off your center, this is your recalibration.

Father Nathan Castle Talks About Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over Our guest today is a longtime Seek Reality friend. He is the wonderful Father Nathan Castle, who is a leader in the field of doing afterlife rescue work, and he is with us for the 12th time. We have known Father Nathan here for perhaps seven years, ever since his first book came out, and Roberta could not believe at first that his spirit rescue work was something that the Catholic Church would even allow! But not only do they allow it, they seem to actively support it. So, very good for them indeed! Father Nathan Castle is a Dominican priest who lives and works in a community of Dominican men and women serving the University of Arizona in Tucson. He is a lovely, gentle, and very spiritual man, and something like thirty years ago, he was recruited by elevated beings not in bodies to do spirit rescue work with them. As it turns out, almost twenty-five percent of people will go off-track for a time when they die, and they often do that by their own choice. And our wonderful friend Father Nathan is one of those who is trusted to help to rescue some of those people, once they feel ready to complete their afterlife journeys. Father Nathan's terrific first book, which was called Afterlife, Interrupted – Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over, came out in 2019, and Roberta tells us that everything in it was completely consistent with what she had learned during all her decades of doing afterlife research. Then that book was followed by books two and three, with similar titles. Father Nathan's books are all terrific, and he has become a regular with us here. Father Nathan's website is Father Nathan Castle, O.P. Learn more about Roberta here: http://robertagrimes.com https://seekreality.com

This week, we dive into one of the most surreal tracks on Even Worse — Weird Al Yankovic's epic fever dream, “Stuck in a Closet with Vanna White.”What starts as a simple recurring nightmare spirals into floating in midair, Russian spies, bowling on the Starship Enterprise… and ultimately being trapped in a closet night after night with America's favorite letter-turner. We unpack the song's claustrophobic anxiety, its surreal dream logic, and the full-force pop culture power of 1980s Vanna-mania.We also explore the musical side: why — absurd subject matter aside — this track genuinely has the bones of a mainstream hit.It's weird. It's anxious. It's ridiculously catchy. And yes… we're buying a vowel.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.
Episode 262 We gotta pay respects to several people who passed, and then we touch topics including the Super Bowl halftime show, GloRilla's viral family situation, childhood rap names, J. Cole's recent release, and Valentine's Day. The Super Bowl performance by Bad Bunny, culture and representation, language barriers, and the backlash from people like Trump, while also talking about the U.S. as a melting pot and the value of learning Spanish. The conversation shifts to GloRilla and her sister going viral over claims that GloRilla isn't supporting family financially; the hosts unpack conflicting accounts, the realities of rapper income, taxes and label advances, the ethics of family expectations, and how posting family issues online can permanently damage relationships. Y'all won't believe our old rap names and we gotta review J. Cole's new project, with one host breaking down the concept while others criticize the music as repetitive, overly self-produced, and overly tied to ‘the Ville,' alongside broader thoughts on artistry, growth, and the ‘best rapper' persona. 00:00 Cold Open: Hustle Bars & Intro Vibes00:30 Episode Kickoff: What Movie Clip Was That?01:08 RIP Shoutouts & Weekend Rundown Setup02:56 Super Bowl Watch Party Recap03:39 Bad Bunny Halftime Debate: Representation vs. Personal Taste10:29 America as a Melting Pot: Language, Subtitles & Culture19:53 Should Americans Learn Spanish?

Kelly Berry's introduction to small-business ownership came at a moment when most new parents are focused on something else entirely. She had just come home from the hospital after giving birth when her husband handed her a personal guarantee to sign. He had quit his job to start a business.“So if this fails,” she said, “you'll be unemployed and we'll be homeless?”“Yep,” he replied.That moment made the risks of entrepreneurship very real—and it helped set Kelly on the path she's been on ever since. She went on to earn her MBA, work with economic-development organizations, and eventually launch her own business running peer groups for business owners. Her focus has always been the same: helping owners navigate the challenges they face—together.In this week's Dashboard, Kelly shares what she's seeing on the front lines of small business, why peer groups can be so powerful, and how she's working to bring that support to owners in rural communities who may not have access to in-person groups. She also talks about what it takes to build her own business along the way. And if you'd like to explore whether a peer group might be right for you, you can start with a short quiz she's created.

This week, Scott sat down with Editor in Chief Benjamin Wittes, who recently returned from Ukraine, and Lawfare's Ukraine Fellow Anastasiia Lapatina, to go through the latest developments in that country, including:“Cold War.” Russia's ongoing winter campaign against Ukraine's energy infrastructure has created a humanitarian crisis in many parts of the country. In Kyiv, at least one major power plant has been completely destroyed, and many more energy sites have been damaged. Numerous other parts of the country are without power and heating during a season when temperatures regularly dip below zero degrees Fahrenheit. What do these attacks show about the dynamics of the conflict? And what can be done to curb their effects?“Stuck in the Sand.” U.S.-backed negotiations between Russia and Ukraine—which continued in Abu Dhabi this past week—remain at an impasse, without tangible progress other than a prisoner of war exchange that led to the release of 157 Ukrainians from Russian captivity. Russia continues to demand that Ukraine surrender a large swath of territory in its eastern Donbas region, which Kyiv says is a red line. Meanwhile, President Zelensky has suggested that the United States is pushing the sides to end the war by summer 2026 — perhaps because of the U.S. midterm elections set to take place shortly thereafter. What is the state of the negotiations at this point? Is this a reasonable expectation by the administration? Or are there any areas for potential agreement in the short or medium term?“(P)eye in the Sky?”: The war in Ukraine is arguably the first to be fought in substantial part through drones. Not only has the conflict helped showcase the capabilities of drones, but it's spurred rapid development in the technology behind them—and methods that might be used to defeat them. What did Ben learn about these technologies on his trip? And what can it tell us about the future of warfare?In object lessons, Ben departs from his signature dog shirts to shirts of a more subversive nature. Nastya pleads to the power of your inner light in helping the families of Kyiv who are suffering through the energy crisis. And Scott encourages you to keep reading and caring about the War in Ukraine.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Episode 3910: Henri Junttila challenges the belief that being stuck is a problem, revealing it instead as a natural, even necessary, rhythm of life. By shifting how we relate to these quieter periods, through surrender, enjoyment, and honest self-expression, we can dissolve the pressure to force progress and begin to see stillness as part of growth. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://tinybuddha.com/blog/feel-stuck-life-secret-dealing/ Quotes to ponder: "The funny thing is that when we enjoy being stuck, we're not stuck anymore, because being stuck was all in our head." "You get stuck when you think you should be something you're not. When you think life should be different than it is." "When you truly become aware of what goes on inside of your head, you start to let go because you see how you create your own suffering." Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, Matt explains why people get stuck in the OCD and anxiety loop, why fear keeps self-perpetuating, and why trying to fix the “theme” never truly works.If you've been asking yourself, “Why am I stuck in this loop?” — the answer may not be what you think. Fear isn't something outside of you that needs to be controlled. It's an internal state that must be confronted and released from within.Rather than chasing thoughts, analyzing themes, or trying to eliminate symptoms, this episode explores how projection keeps the loop alive — and how turning inward is the real path to breaking it.
Brian Windhorst is joined by ESPN's Tim Bontemps and Tim MacMahon to discuss LeBron's comments about how far the Lakers are from contending for a championship before discussing if the path to that goal includes LeBron. Then, we talk if the Warriors are stuck in their current position and if they will ever contend with Steph Curry again. Next, we break down the potential for a Tatum return including what impact it could have on Boston. Finally, we react to the brawl in the Pistons-Hornets game before reacting to some All-Star weekend events. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In today's episode, I sit down with Josh Zolin, CEO of Windy City Equipment Service, to talk about why even high performers feel stuck despite success. We unpack how the meaning we assign to our past quietly limits potential, fuels imposter syndrome, and creates interference through fear, separation, and the need to be right. I share how presence and ambition coexist, why non negotiable daily behaviors matter more than goals, and how surrender is really about stopping what interferes. We also explore values over outcomes, asking for help as humility, and why consistent habits remove resistance faster than motivation ever will.
You have human instincts that kept your ancestors alive. Those same instincts will sabotage your business if you don't manage them. In this episode, Lori and I break down 4 human conditions that hold founders back. These patterns feel normal, justified, and smart, but they are not built for scaling. We talk about why you're not supposed to feel happy every day while building something meaningful, why "ready" is a myth, how control creates your ceiling, and why comparison guarantees a distorted reality. If you want bigger results, you have to become stronger than your programming. HIGHLIGHTS Why entrepreneurship doesn't feel "happy" most days. The reframe from "I'll be happy when…" to "I'm happy because…" What to do when you never feel ready. How the illusion of control creates your income ceiling. How to stop over-romanticizing everyone else's life. RESOURCES Apply for the Elite Entrepreneur Mastermind HERE!
