It seems like most of our lives are spent waiting for something. Oftentimes progress feels painfully slow, and we grow frustrated. "God, why all this waiting? And if I have to wait, how do I wait well?" Those are the questions we'll explore this Sunday as we conclude our study of the life of Moses by focusing on all those years Moses and his people wandered in the wilderness.
Ready to go deeper? Applications for the Connection Course are now openIf you struggle with perfectionism, fear of success, or feeling like you have a "tyrant boss" inside your head, this breakdown reveals exactly how to shift that dynamic.In this episode, Joe and Brett analyze a rapid coaching session with a man who is a high-performer for others but frozen when it comes to his own business. They uncover how "stories" about perfectionism keep us stuck, and why trying to be a "good provider" can actually stop you from doing the work. As the man works with Joe to peel back the layers of what's causing his procrastination, Brett and Joe dive deeper into the topic of procrastination, dissecting the root causes that cause us to freeze when we wish to act and paths forward for reframing both how to approach and to view procrastination.They discuss:The idea of procrastinator as an identitySelf-judgement, perfectionism, and shameThe emotional roots of procrastinationHow to dissolve stucknessPractical ways to approach procrastinationSend us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community!

We hear it all the time: “Get uncomfortable.”But what if discomfort isn't the key to growth? What if the real issue is familiarity?In this solo episode, Paul explores how staying stuck in the familiar—even when it's painful—is the #1 reason people can't change. Whether it's relationships, routines, or recurring patterns, your brain will always choose the known over the unknown… until you choose differently.

199. I ask a simple question: Is your routine helping you or holding you back? After my dog Bentley was attacked by an off-leash dog, my trainer Gia suggested something counterintuitive—shake up the routine. The result? More calm, more confidence, and a creative surge for both of us. In today's episode, I share how intentional unpredictability can unlock energy, clarity, and a refreshed leadership identity. In this episode, I share: Why routines soothe the nervous system—and when they become cages instead of containers Four subtle signs your routine is quietly holding you back How one small, conscious change can ignite fresh energy, creativity, and confidence The difference between joy and the dopamine hit of achievement (and why it matters) Try this: Change one thing—time of your walk/coffee, your desk placement, or your morning practice order—and notice what your body tells you. Resource mentioned: The free Energy Audit to see what's fueling vs. draining you so you can lead with clarity and ease. Grab it at brendawinkle.com/audit. Looking for support for you and your dog? Go give my trainer, Gia, a follow. She's on all the platforms as Thinking Canine. I'm not an afiiliate, just a loyal client. Facebook, Instagram, and she's also on TikTok. If this lands, share it with a friend and leave a quick review—thank you for helping more ambitious leaders trust their intuition and lead with freedom.

I want to talk about questions—not the ones other people ask you, but the ones you ask yourself.You see, I've always been someone who reflects. But I haven't always been someone who asks better questions. For a long time, I asked myself things like:“Why can't I figure this out?”“What's wrong with me?”“Why isn't this working?”And you know what those kinds of questions get you? Shame. Frustration. Stuckness.But when I started learning how to ask more empowering questions—curious questions, compassionate questions, honest questions—things began to shift.Because here's the truth:❝ The quality of your life is shaped by the quality of the questions you ask yourself. ❞So today, I'm sharing with you the 10 best questions I've ever asked myself.These are the ones I return to, time and time again. The ones that helped me pivot careers, launch this podcast, leave jobs, take risks, say no, say yes, and become more me in the process.So grab a journal if you want. Or just sit back, listen in, and see which one lands for you.Let's dive in.Join Thrive: https://leadingyourself.my.canva.site/thrive2025

“You can't think your way out of a body problem…You have to address what's happening in the body and the brain before you can actually take those steps forward”. Deanna DeBara knows all about feeling “stuck”. And, if you're a human navigating life right now, you probably do too. Being stuck is that odd sense of not wanting to stay where you are, but not being able to – or knowing how to – move forward. It's something that many of us think about as being an individual feeling, but Deanna wants us to know that it's actually a foundational human experience.After experiencing stuckness at many points in her life, Deanna learned that being stuck isn't just an emotional state. It actually has physiological connections, and there's much more to it than a lack of motivation. So she decided it was time to start a bigger conversation about what being stuck is actually about. And that's when she launched her fascinating podcast, Season of Stuck. In this episode of The Breakout, Deanna helps us dive into what being stuck really means, and what you can do about itAbout Deanna deBaraDeanna is a writer and the host of Season of Stuck.Connect with DeannaDeanna on LinkedInSeason of Stuck websiteYouTube channelAbout The BreakoutThe Breakout is the hit podcast hosted by human resources and change experts Dr. Keri Ohlrich and Kelly Guenther.

This week of Season of Stuck is a bit different. In this episode, Deanna shares some vulnerable insights about what's going on in her life and how it's impacting her (spoiler alert: she's dealing with some serious stuckness)—and why extending grace and compassion to ourselves in hard moments is so important. This episode isn't as planned out or structured as other episodes, but it's an honest reflection of Deanna's current experience—and her hope is that her vulnerability will help someone else that's experiencing a hard moment be a little nicer to themselves.

This week, I'm excited to welcome Ben Orlin to the show to discuss his new book, Math for English Majors: A Human Take on the Universal Language. Ben is a math educator, writer, and the creator of Math with Bad Drawings, a blog and book series that makes math more accessible, humorous, and relatable. His latest book approaches mathematics as a language—one that everyone can learn, even those who've struggled with it in the past. In this conversation, we cover: Math as a Language: Ben explains how understanding math as a form of communication can help break down barriers to learning and make it more intuitive. Where Students Get Stuck: Ben shares key moments where people tend to disconnect from math, such as fractions and algebra, and offers insights on how to reframe those challenges. The Concept of Stuckness: Drawing from his teaching experience, Ben discusses how learning to sit with and work through being “stuck” is crucial not just in math but in any problem-solving endeavor. Breaking the Math Stigma: Many people carry negative experiences with math from school. Ben talks about how reframing math through storytelling, humor, and play can make it more engaging and approachable. Curiosity as a Learning Tool: Instead of focusing on getting the “right” answer, Ben emphasizes how curiosity and exploration can make math more enjoyable and meaningful.

This week, I'm excited to welcome Ben Orlin to the show to discuss his new book, Math for English Majors: A Human Take on the Universal Language. Ben is a math educator, writer, and the creator of Math with Bad Drawings, a blog and book series that makes math more accessible, humorous, and relatable. His latest book approaches mathematics as a language—one that everyone can learn, even those who've struggled with it in the past.In this conversation, we cover: Math as a Language: Ben explains how understanding math as a form of communication can help break down barriers to learning and make it more intuitive. Where Students Get Stuck: Ben shares key moments where people tend to disconnect from math, such as fractions and algebra, and offers insights on how to reframe those challenges. The Concept of Stuckness: Drawing from his teaching experience, Ben discusses how learning to sit with and work through being “stuck” is crucial not just in math but in any problem-solving endeavor. Breaking the Math Stigma: Many people carry negative experiences with math from school. Ben talks about how reframing math through storytelling, humor, and play can make it more engaging and approachable. Curiosity as a Learning Tool: Instead of focusing on getting the “right” answer, Ben emphasizes how curiosity and exploration can make math more enjoyable and meaningful. Ben's work challenges the idea that math is only for “math people” and instead presents it as a tool for creativity, problem-solving, and deeper understanding. Whether you've loved math or avoided it at all costs, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how to engage with numbers in a more human way.Learn more about Ben and his work at MathWithBadDrawings.com and follow him on social media @MathWithBadDrawings.

Thought to share? Send me a text...Ever found yourself endlessly waiting for life to change, only to realize you're tangled in a web of your own expectations? Join me as we reflect on the powerful story from John, chapter five, where Jesus heals a man who had been ill for 38 long years, without needing to be told his struggles. This episode is an invitation for anyone who feels stuck to break free from self-imposed limitations and consider the broader horizons God offers beyond what we can imagine. As we ponder the loaded question Jesus asked, "Would you like to get well?", we find parallels in our own lives and consider how faith can expand our vision beyond the familiar.Are you fixated on a metaphorical pool, believing it's your only path to progress or healing? In our conversation, we unravel the story of the paralyzed man who found healing through faith in Jesus, not through external aids. This serves as a reminder to look towards Jesus for strength and purpose, encouraging us to stand up and move forward with renewed hope. Betsy challenges listeners to identify their own "pools" and redirect their focus on the transformative power of faith, urging them to trust in Jesus's words and carry their burdens with a fresh perspective. Through these stories, we emphasize the significance of stepping into new life with Jesus, offering a heartfelt invitation to embrace change and seek true healing.To read my blog, find out more about me, or to book a speaking engagement, head to https://betsymarvin.com/For access to past podcasts and transcripts, head tohttps://betsymarvin.com/podcasts/You can follow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/betsyjmarvin/and Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/betsy.marvin.98
