Today's guest is a Grammy-winning songwriter, global pop architect, and one of the most quietly influential voices shaping modern music across borders.Before the world heard her voice, EJAE spent years training inside the K-pop system — learning discipline, structure, and endurance long before recognition ever arrived. When the system didn't know what to do with her, she pivoted. Slowly. Intentionally. And built a career that would eventually be heard everywhere.Now, as a songwriter whose work spans K-pop, pop, animation, and beyond — and as an artist stepping into her own voice — EJAE represents a different kind of success: one built patiently, shaped by pressure, and defined by longevity rather than speed.And The Writer Is… EJAE.In this episode of And The Writer Is…, EJAE opens up about:The reality of the K-pop training system and what it actually teaches you about discipline and survivalRejection and why her voice didn't fit the moment — and how that shaped her writingLearning to work alone after years inside a rigid systemHow songwriting became a safer, more powerful entry point than performingThe pivot that reframed her career and led to global successAnd much more…Hit the subscribe button and turn on notifications.Every week, we go deep with the most interesting creatives in music.Follow us on socials: @andthewriterisA special thank you to our sponsors…Our lead sponsor, NMPA — the National Music Publishing Association.

If AI hasn't worked for you yet, it's probably not the tool.It's not the prompts.It's not that you're behind.And it's not that AI “doesn't work for designers.”It's an organization problem.In this episode, John breaks down why most interior designers are using AI like a junk drawer and how shifting from “tool” thinking to “team” thinking completely changed how he runs his business.After running bi-coastal offices and feeling stretched thin, he realized AI wasn't about better prompts. It was about better infrastructure.This episode walks you through:Why AI feels generic when you use it casuallyThe junk drawer analogy that explains most AI frustrationThe difference between using a tool and building a systemHow to think of AI as specific assistants with specific rolesWhy onboarding matters, even for artificial intelligenceThe foundational document that makes everything workHow small firms can gain leverage without hiring more staffThe real emotional shift that happens when the system carries the weightIf you're a solo designer or running a small firm and wearing every hat, this episode will reframe what's actually possible.This is the beginning of a deeper conversation about building infrastructure instead of chasing output.Because your next hire might not need benefits.Text Me a Message!Support the show

There is a well-known cognitive phenomenon that we are all susceptible to, and even more so when we're stressed. And we're all at least a little stressed and overwhelmed right now.The illusory truth effect catches us when we repeatedly hear statements and begin to assume they are true through repetition and familiarity. Things feel true, even if they couldn't be further from it. Research has shown that sheer repetition can even override facts when we know better.Naming–systems, feelings, what we're witnessing, what's missing, what's wrong–is a powerful antidote to the illusory truth effect. Naming forces us to slow down. It interrupts the repetition. We can't meaningfully talk about integrity, values, courage, or innovation if we refuse to look directly at what is.My guest today reminds us that we can't disrupt what we can't name. And we can't heal what stays vague.Soraya Chemaly is an award-winning author and activist. As a cultural critic, she writes and speaks frequently about gender norms, social justice, free speech, sexualized violence, politics, and technology. The former Executive Director of The Representation Project and Director and co-founder of the Women's Media Center Speech Project, she has long been committed to expanding women's civic and political participation.Her most recent book, All We Want is Everything: How We Dismantle Male Supremacy, has been called “a potent rallying cry for a beleaguered feminist movement.”  In it, she challenges dearly held beliefs about gender and equality today, drawing clear lines between the dynamics of intimate inequality and global anti-feminist, anti-democratic backlash and machofascism.Content warning: Discussion of details of the video footage leading up to Renee Good's murder, less-detailed discussion of sexual and gender-based violence and harassmentListen to the full episode to hear:Why we need to name systems clearly and specifically in order to challenge themHow male supremacy encompasses concepts of sexism, misogyny, and patriarchy and frames them as part of a larger hierarchical systemHow we're witnessing DARVO play out at scale in our government and media, as well as in personal interactionsHow deepfakes use the pervasive threat of sexual violence against women to dehumanize and enforce subjugationHow women play roles in passing on and enforcing male supremacyHow “the boy crisis” reinforces norms of masculinity at the expense of girls and womenWhy big tent politics that asks everyone but cis, straight men to give up fundamental rights cannot be a yardstick of successLearn more about Soraya Chemaly:WebsiteInstagram: @sorayachemalyAll We Want is Everything: How We Dismantle Male SupremacySubscribe to UnmannedLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Dechêne, A., Stahl, C., Hansen, J., & Wänke, M..

Hey friend, in today's episode, we're talking about something I see all the time (and yes, I do it too): white knuckling change. You know the drill, forcing new habits with pressure, discipline, rigid rules, and a whole lot of self-criticism… and then wondering why it never seems to stick.If you're capable, driven, committed to growth, and maybe just a little Type A (hello, same), this episode is for you. We're unpacking why trying to force yourself into change often backfires, especially when your nervous system is already stressed and overwhelmed. I share why force doesn't feel motivating to many of us, it feels like pressure, and how that pressure actually creates resistance instead of consistency.We'll talk about a different approach to change, one rooted in softness, nervous system regulation, and self-support instead of shame and intensity. This doesn't mean lowering your standards or giving up on growth. It means learning how to work with yourself instead of against yourself, so change becomes sustainable and supportive rather than exhausting.If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of starting over, beating yourself up, and trying again “on Monday,” this episode offers a kinder, more effective way forward.In This Episode:What it really means to “white knuckle” change, and why so many of us default to itWhy discipline and pressure can actually dysregulate your nervous systemHow force creates resistance instead of motivationWhat softness is (and what it is not) when it comes to growthThe difference between intensity and sustainabilityRESOURCES:Connect with me in the Strong and Resilient Woman Community on Facebook HERE (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yogaformilitarywomen)SIGN UP FOR THE APP:https://www.christinamattisonyoga.com/lead-your-life-appInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themilitaryyogiPodcast Website: www.leadingwithheartpodcast.comSHOW NOTES: https://www.christinamattisonyoga.com/blog/episode89Connect with me in the Strong and Resilient Woman Community on Facebook HERE (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yogaformilitarywomen), or on Instagram @themilitaryyogiMore about Christina Mattison and the Leading with Heart PodcastHey there!

What if healing doesn't always begin with adding the “right” foods, but by removing the ones that quietly keep your body inflamed and stuck?In this grounded, science-based episode of Renegade Remission, we explore the foods most consistently linked to chronic inflammation and disease progression across cancer, autoimmune illness, neurological disease, and heart disease.Drawing from remission stories, clinical experience, and peer-reviewed research, this episode explains how certain foods create ongoing biological stress that makes healing harder.

Welcome to another episode of People in Transition. I'm your host, Bob Gerst.Today's conversation is especially relevant for anyone who appears successful on paper—but feels burned out, unsettled, or quietly questioning what's next.My guest is Mallory Byers. Mallory spent nearly a decade as a top-performing sales recruiter at Salesforce, where she helped highly driven professionals secure roles at the highest levels. She understood the hiring process inside and out—and by all external measures, she was thriving.Yet along the way, Mallory began to notice something that fundamentally changed the direction of her work. Even the most capable and accomplished people weren't stuck because they lacked strategy. They were stuck because deeper forces were at play: long-standing patterns, chronic nervous system overload, and a version of confidence built entirely on performance.Today, Mallory is a Career Breakthrough and Empowerment Coach who supports high achievers navigating career transitions, burnout, or layoffs. Her work goes far beyond résumés and interviews. She helps clients strengthen the person behind the strategy—by rebuilding self-trust, regulating the nervous system, and untangling subconscious patterns such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-functioning.Through her signature one-on-one program, The Inner CEO, Mallory helps clients stop outsourcing their worth to job titles and start leading their careers with grounded authority. As she teaches, you are the CEO of your life and your career.If you're in a season of transition—or sensing that the next chapter of your career requires a different version of you—this conversation will resonate deeply.Topics We Discuss in This Episode Include:How tying your identity to your job impacts your career—and how to navigate that shiftWhat it means to operate from survival mode, and how people-pleasing reinforces itWhere imposter syndrome shows up and how it quietly influences decisionsThe connection between perfectionism, overthinking, freezing action, scarcity thinking, and a dysregulated nervous systemHow the inner critic drives overwork during a job search—and how to stay grounded without letting others dictate your directionWhy layoffs are such a disorienting experience, and why “staying in your lane” may not lead to fulfillment or successWhy you don't solve issues of the mind with the mind—how working with the body changes the job search processWhat it truly means to take ownership of your career and embody your “Inner CEO”This is a powerful and insightful episode, and there is so much to take away from Mallory's perspective.To learn more about Mallory Byers, connect with her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachmallorybyers/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/mallory-byers-coaching/Send a text

If you've ever set a goal and felt excited for 5 minutes… then randomly fell off, got overwhelmed, or quit — this episode is for you.Today we're building the goal setting system you actually need — because goals don't work without structure. Motivation is not a plan, and discipline isn't something you're born with… it's something you build through systems that make success inevitable.In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact framework I use to set goals in a realistic way and stay consistent even when life gets busy or my motivation disappears.In this episode, we cover:Why most goals fail (and it's not because you're lazy)The difference between a goal and a systemHow to choose ONE focus goal for the next 90 daysHow to turn big goals into daily non-negotiablesThe “minimum baseline” method for low energy daysWeekly check-ins that keep you accountableHow to stay consistent without burning outThis episode will change the way you approach your goals — because once you have a system, you don't need to rely on motivation anymore.CONNECT WITH ME:Instagram: https://instagram.com/oliviaeveshaboTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@oliviaeveshaboPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/for-you-from-eve/id1544519585YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@oliviaeveshaboSPONSORS:Mint Mobile: https://mintmobile.com/fromeveAirDoctor: https://airdoctorpro.com, code FROMEVERula: https://www.rula.com/fromeveRella: https://getrella.com, code FROMEVEOlive & June: https://oliveandjune.com/FROMEVEFabletics: https://fabletics.com/fromeveFÜM: https://tryfum.com/FROMEVECowboy Colostrum: https://cowboycolostrum.com, code FROMEVE.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You finally slow down. The emails stop. The alarm is off. The pressure lifts. And then, the migraine arrives.In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme, we explore the strange and frustrating paradox of week-end migraines: why the moment you rest, your body seems to revolt. What feels like cruel irony is actually a well-documented nervous-system response, and once you understand it, it becomes something you can work with rather than fear.This episode unpacks why migraine brains don't always respond well to abrupt shifts, even when those shifts are positive and how both Western science and Eastern medicine explain this phenomenon in surprisingly aligned ways.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “let-down” migraines happen and how sudden drops in stress hormones can destabilize a sensitive nervous systemHow the brain adapts to high pressure during the week, then struggles when that pressure suddenly disappearsThe Eastern perspective on why a sharp transition from doing to being can cause energy to surge upward instead of settlingA simple, gentle strategy to soften the transition from workweek to weekend so rest becomes restorative, not triggeringThis episode isn't about avoiding rest. It's about changing the way you arrive there. If your migraines tend to show up just when you think you're finally safe to relax, this conversation may help you rethink weekends not as a cliff, but as a bridge.

In Part 1 of this episode, Mark Doherty sits down with Nadia Sabeh, aka Doctor Greenhouse, to expose the hidden conflict between high-intensity lighting and the HVAC systems responsible for maintaining balance in controlled environments.Together, they discuss:The Three-Legged Stool of CEA and why lighting, HVAC, and plant biology must be designed as one integrated systemHow increasing photon density drives heat load, humidity, and energy demandThe risks behind the rise of under-canopy lighting and the unintended consequences of chasing more photonsWhy optimizing one system in isolation often leads to higher costs and diminishing returnsThis episode reveals the invisible forces shaping canopy performance, and why many grow rooms fail long before the first plant goes in.

If you've ever felt guilty for wanting money — or confused about how spirituality and wealth can coexist — this episode is for you.I sit down with Preston Smiles, spiritual teacher and author of Spiritual Millionaire, to uncover the real truth about manifesting abundance without losing your soul.We break down how to stop self-sabotage, remove scarcity programming, and use money as a tool for purpose, service, and spiritual growth — not ego or fear.

Send us a textIf professionalism is restrictive by design, asking us to shrink, perform, and drain our precious energy on keeping up appearances – unprofessionalism is the undoing of the rules. It's the freedom to be our full, unequivocal selves.And who better to teach us about the business of belonging than Jon Berghoff? He's the founder of Xchange and one of the most sought-after facilitators in the world. He also does his best work barefoot.Jon's early years were marked by doubt and displacement. Instead of performing his way into acceptance, he learned how to regulate his own nervous system so he could hold space for others to feel safe. Now guided by that learning, Jon helps people speak their truth and connect to something greater than themselves. In this conversation, he shares the risks he's taken, the stories he's collected, and what happens when you stop performing and start belonging.Find out about:Jon's experience of being unprofessional – and his learnings from leaning into risksWhy feeling safe to be yourself starts with creating the right conditions to regulate your nervous systemHow facilitators can expand their capacity for self-regulation, in order to expand the room's collective capacityHow to spot when professional performance is draining your energy – and more importantly, how to challenge itLinks:LinkedInWebsiteSupport the show✨✨✨If you miss the "workshops work" podcast, join us on Substack, where Myriam builds a Podcast Club with monthly gatherings around old episodes: https://myriamhadnes.substack.com/

⁠Join my February Strength and Mobility ClassIf you feel exhausted, resentful, or like life is just one endless list of things to get through — this episode is for you.In this conversation, I explore why modern parents are burning out not just because life is hard — but because we're resisting the very things that make up a life.Using the Zen concept chop wood, carry water, we talk about how the mundane tasks — dinner, laundry, dishes, routines — are not problems to solve, but realities to inhabit.We cover:Why the “finish line” is a lieHow resisting daily responsibilities creates resentmentWhy hustle and optimization are making parenting worseHow creating a vibe changes everythingWhy lighting, music, ritual, and presence matter more than outcomesHow multitasking and phone use dysregulate parents and kidsWhy single-tasking calms the nervous systemHow gratitude for the basics shifts your internal stateWhy perfectionism is a nervous system issue, not a standardHow to strip away what's actually frying youThis episode is not about doing more.It's about doing less fighting with your own life.The magic isn't in the big moments.It's in the boring stitches that hold everything together.As always — rock on, put your phone down, and thank you for being here.

In today's conversation, Sasha sits  with Pen King Jr., holistic transformation coach, health-tech innovator, and CEO of Bonding Health, to explore a radically different approach to ADHD, focusing on emotional regulation, trauma, and mental health.Pen is also a dear friend of Sasha's- they met freshman year at Syracuse University in English class. Their connection deepened when she announced she was raising money to run the NYC Marathon for charity. Pen donated $1,000 on the spot, making it possible for Sasha to run the marathon at all. That generosity marked the beginning of an 18+ year friendship rooted in trust, support, and shared values.Today, Pen is leading a movement that challenges the conventional ADHD model. Rather than overstimulating the brain or defaulting to medication, he shares why slowing the brain down, strengthening neuroplasticity, and rethinking emotional regulation may be the key to lasting healing—for children and adults alike.In this conversation, they explore:Why traditional ADHD treatments may be missing the root causeHow trauma, stress, and emotional dysregulation shape behaviorThe science behind calming the nervous systemHow the Bonding Health app empowers families through warmth, play, and connectionWhy asking “What is my child communicating?” changes everythingThis episode is for parents, educators, health professionals, and anyone curious about holistic mental health, ADHD alternatives, neuroplasticity, and integrative healing.If you're ready to move beyond bandaid solutions and explore what true regulation and resilience look like, this conversation will change how you see mental health.Discover why slowing down might be the fastest path forward. Send us a textFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda products, use code OjasOasis at checkoutFor 20% off GarryNSun products, use code OJASOASIS20 at checkoutFor 20% off Ora Cacao products, use OJASOASIS20 at checkout Receive $500 off your Panchakarma retreat at SoHum Healing Resort with code OjasOasisPK2025 Support the showTo learn more about working with us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube

What happens when your coffee grinder is jammed… and so is your life?This episode starts with a broken coffee grinder and accidentally turns into one of the deepest, most honest conversations we've ever had on the Photographic Collective Podcast.Today we sit down with Jon Taylor Sweet — one of the most influential visual artists of the last decade whose work spans weddings, music, commercial, editorial, and culture — to talk about:Why he walked away from shooting 30 weddings a yearWhat burnout actually does to your nervous systemHow he built a career by niching up instead of niching downWhy relationships matter more than ratesWhy your creative voice is more important than your brandAnd how to build a life that doesn't require a breakdown every NovemberJon shares the real story behind his rise from shooting on an iPhone in Washington to working with artists like NF, David Kushner, Laney Wilson, and major brands like Jameson and Alaska Airlines — and why he still refuses to put himself in a box.This is a conversation about:Creativity without cagesBusiness without burnoutArt without arroganceAnd success without selling your soulIf you've ever felt tired, boxed in, creatively stuck, or like you're running a business you don't actually want to live inside of… this one will hit home.Also yes, we do talk about coffee.

What if manifestation doesn't fail because you're doing it wrong, but because your nervous system is stuck in survival mode? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with Christy Whitman, two-time New York Times bestselling author and transformational teacher, for a grounded, practical conversation about flow, energy mastery, and why so many well-intentioned spiritual practices backfire. Rather than relying on affirmations, vision boards, or spiritual bypassing, Christy explains how true manifestation begins by regulating the nervous system, releasing stored energetic blocks, and shifting from survival consciousness into creator consciousness. This conversation bridges modern spirituality, energy healing, and consciousness work with real-world application, especially for listeners who feel exhausted, stuck, or emotionally reactive despite “doing the work.” In this episode, you'll explore:Why manifestation feels exhausting when practiced from stress instead of flowHow fight-flight-freeze responses sabotage spiritual growth and intuition developmentThe connection between stored trauma, energy blocks, and physical symptomsWhy compassion is the fastest way to regulate the nervous systemHow to stop forcing outcomes and let life actually cooperateWhat a true flow state feels like, without collapsing into vague positivityThe difference between survival consciousness and creator consciousnessHow intuition becomes clearer when energy is alignedWhy detachment is essential to manifestation and soul purpose alignmentChristy also shares deeply personal insights from her decades of work as a spiritual teacher, including her experience channeling the Council of Light, and how energy mastery can support spiritual awakening, emotional regulation, and long-term spiritual growth. This episode is especially powerful for anyone navigating:Burnout during awakeningEmotional reactivityConfusion around manifestationNervous system dysregulationA desire for practical, grounded spiritual toolsIf you've ever wondered why manifestation techniques haven't delivered the peace, clarity, or abundance they promise, this conversation reframes everything.The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a pragmatic spirituality podcast for curious minds exploring the unknown without abandoning critical thinking. Each episode breaks down metaphysics explained through grounded conversation, examining hidden truths behind spiritual awakening, consciousness expansion, and expanded consciousness. We explore intuition, mediumship, spirit guides, and the mechanics of healing and personal transformation—bridging skeptical inquiry with meaningful spiritual experience. If you're navigating your own awakening or questioning reality while staying intellectually honest, this podcast is for seekers and skeptics alike.Subscribe, Rate & Review!If you found this episode enlightening, mind-expanding, or even just thought-provoking (see what we did there?), please take a moment to rate and review us.

I suspect that the CEOs in our audience are likely to agree that crafting a truly effective incentive compensation plan is simultaneously one of the most difficult, and one of the most important, tasks that a small business CEO will face.Charlie Munger is famous for saying “Never, ever think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.” He's also said “I think I've been in the top 5% of my age cohort, all my life, in understanding the power of incentives, and all my life I've underestimated them.”But why is it so difficult to craft a truly effective incentive plan? Based on many years of experience putting them together myself, here are just a few of the challenges that I faced:Avoiding unintended consequences and people "gaming" the systemHow to balance individual goals vs. company goals vs. departmental goalsHow to incent people on company goals when the achievement of those goals falls largely outside of their controlIf or how to change a comp plan if circumstances change materially within any given yearHow to manage changes in goals & targets across any two given yearsThe balance between simplicity & detailHow to handle inherited employees whose salaries may fall outside of company-wide pay bandsTo help me untangle each of these challenges, this week I'm joined by Stacey Carroll. Stacey has spent substantially her entire career leading HR organizations across a wide array of companies, with a specific focus on compensation & benefits. She has also spent the past 14 years leading HR Experts on Call, a company she founded where she acts as an interim HR leader for small and medium-sized businesses.

If you want 2026 to feel different, your systems have to change — not your personality, not your caffeine intake. In this episode, I'm walking you through the practice systems that actually save time, reduce chaos, and keep you out of that constant “I'll fix it later” mode.I break down what a system really is, why most private practice owners don't realize what's broken, and how overwhelm usually shows up right when your practice starts growing. Whether you're brand new or already busy, this episode helps you build a foundation that can scale without burning you out.We focus on the three core systems every practice needs from day one: how potential clients become real clients, how you communicate in a way that's ethical and sustainable, and how money moves through your business without stress or confusion.In this episode, I cover:How to design a “potential client to client” system that reduces friction and increases show-upsWhy your communication system has to be HIPAA-compliant and fit your nervous systemHow to build a money exchange system before your first client ever walks inThe difference between “shiny” marketing and “sticky” systems that actually convertIf your practice feels reactive, scattered, or harder than it needs to be, this episode will help you rebuild your systems so your business can support you, not drain you.If you want ongoing CE credit, leadership support, and real-world training you can actually apply, the Step It Up Membership is where this work deepens over time. Get your step by step guide to private practice. Because you are too important to lose to not knowing the rules, going broke, burning out, and giving up. #counselorsdontquit.

In this powerful continuation of our conversation, Annie Bertrand returns to take us deeper into her signature work: ancestral astrology, mother wounds, karmic cycles, and the soul-level patterns that shape our families across generations. In part one, we explored the foundations of astrology and how to understand your chart. In part two, we turn toward the lineage-level healing work — the real-life applications that influence how we mother, how we relate, and how we break the cycles we were born into.Throughout the episode, we explore the real-life tension points most moms face: the self-awareness trap, the fear of “messing up” our kids, the feeling of holding three generations' worth of emotional weight, and the challenge of navigating growth when our partners or families aren't on the same path. Annie offers a grounded, compassionate reminder that healing our own patterns is what shifts the lineage — and that change often ripples through our families without forcing, convincing, or controlling anyone.If you've been craving a deeper understanding of your family dynamics, curious about ancestral healing, or looking for tools to better support your children's emotional world, this conversation will leave you both expanded and grounded. Annie's approach to astrology is practical, accessible, and deeply validating — offering a map for healing your lineage, supporting your kids, and embodying the parent you were meant to be.In this episode, we explore:Ancestral astrology as a tool for understanding inherited patterns, family karma, and the soul contracts we choose before birthHow mother wounds, generational trauma, and lineage stories show up in the Moon sign, Saturn, Chiron, and the IC (lineage axis)The difference between talk therapy vs. energy healing, and why emotional patterns must be addressed through the body and nervous systemHow past-life imprints, karmic memories, and unexplained fears can resurface through motherhood and parentingThe ways parents unconsciously repeat generational patterns — and how to break cycles with awareness, compassion, and energetic workHow to navigate sibling dynamics, emotional mismatches, and conflicting personalities through family astrologyThe “self-awareness trap” and why mothers often feel pressure to parent perfectly when doing lineage-healing workWhy children under seven are especially attuned to their mother's emotional field — and how your healing directly shifts their subconsciousHow to show up as the energetic invitation when your partner or family isn't on the same growth or healing journeyHow astrology helps you honor your unique blueprint, break free from conditioning, and parent from intuition rather than fearBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Annie:Website: anniebertrand.com

In today's episode of the Connect Method Parenting Podcast, we're talking about embodying emotions. NOT just noticing them, NOT just allowing them, but fully living inside the emotional experience while simultaneously creating from the end in mind.I'm sharing ten lessons I've learned about emotional embodiment through real, everyday experiences, from almost running out of battery in my Tesla while crossing a mountain range, to completing a 72-hour fast, to sitting with doubt, fear, hunger, uncertainty, and growth without trying to escape or fix any of it.You'll hear how embodying emotions doesn't mean positive thinking, bypassing discomfort, or managing feelings so they go away. It means learning how to be fully present with fear and faith, worry and gratitude, and uncertainty and intention at the same time.In this episode, we explore:What it actually means to embody emotions, not just feel or process themHow to live from the end in mind without abandoning the present momentWhy powerful questions can completely shift your nervous systemHow beliefs quietly create your lived reality, especially in parentingWhy buffering (food, distraction, productivity) blocks emotional growthHow past “failures” can inform growth without defining youWhy presence, not willpower, is the practiceHow emotional embodiment leads to calm, confident parenting even during conflictMost importantly, we talk about how this work shows up in parenting: Staying grounded during tantrums. Holding boundaries without anger. Responding instead of reacting. Teaching your kids that emotions are safe,  and that nothing has gone wrong just because feelings are big.You don't need to fast for 72 hours or nearly get stranded on a mountain to practice this. You can start small, with irritation, overwhelm, frustration, or doubt, and learn how to sit in the full human experience while choosing connection, belief, and intention.This is the work. It's simple. It's powerful. And it changes everything.Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Let's Talk Your Body Is Your First Home: Perimenopause, Sleep, and the Intelligence of HealingWhat if your body isn't a problem to solve but a home to return to?In this opening episode of the new season of Let's Talk, Coach Che Marville reframes health as a relationship rather than performance. Drawing from lived experience, neuroscience, women's health, and ancient wisdom traditions, Che explores why so many of us feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, and chronically overwhelmed despite having more information than ever before.This episode weaves together:Why the mind and body are not separate and never wereHow perimenopause is a neurological and physiological transformation, not a declineThe hidden cost of the attention economy on sleep, regulation, and resilienceWhy sleep is not passive, and what it reveals about your nervous systemHow grief, stress, and unacknowledged pain live in the bodyA guided loving-kindness (metta) practice to restore safety and compassion.This is not a conversation about fixing yourself.It's about learning how to listen deeply, kindly, and intelligently.Health is not about becoming less sensitive.It's about becoming more attuned.If this conversation resonated with you, stay connected.Follow me, @CheMarville or @letstalkwithcoachche wherever you listen or watch.Subscribe to Let's Talk With Coach Che so you don't miss what's coming this season.If you have thoughts, reflections, or questions, I'd love to hear from you.

I would love to hear how this episode impacted you.Identity First: Why Change Fails Without It January 12 EpisodeWhy does change feel so hard—even when you care, know better, and try again?In this episode, we unpack the real reason most personal growth efforts fail: they're built on behavior, not identity. You'll discover why willpower fades under pressure, why habits collapse when stress hits, and why your nervous system quietly pulls you back to what feels familiar—even when it's not what you want.This is not a motivation talk.

In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler, explores the powerful connection between gut health and skin health — specifically how a compromised gut lining can trigger chronic inflammation that surfaces as acne, eczema, rosacea, and more.Robyn breaks down the science behind “leaky gut” (also known as intestinal permeability) and explains how everyday factors like stress, poor nutrient absorption, and microbial imbalances can quietly fuel skin flare-ups. She also shares The Clear Skin Lab's structured, evidence-based approach to repairing the gut, restoring the skin barrier, and calming inflammation from within — without resorting to restrictive diets or guesswork.Whether you're navigating stubborn acne, managing eczema, or simply curious about the gut-skin connection, this episode offers clear guidance, real clinical insights, and a refreshing take on what true root-cause healing looks like.If you're ready to stop guessing and start healing, explore Robyn's free training to learn how The Clear Skin Lab helps clients uncover the root causes of their skin conditions and create sustainable, personalized plans for long-term results.Listen now!Highlights:The science behind intestinal permeability “leaky gut” and its impact on the immune systemHow gut inflammation contributes to acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and other chronic skin conditionsThe roles of stress, cortisol, and nervous system regulation in skin healingWhy quick-fix “leaky gut” protocols often fall short — and what to do insteadCommon underlying factors such as nutrient deficiencies, iron overload, and liver congestionHow The Clear Skin Lab's phased, data-driven approach personalizes gut and skin repairWhy addressing metabolic function and stress resilience is essential for lasting resultsConnect with Robyn:Instagram: @nutritionbyrobyn Website: https://www.theclearskinlab.com

Send us a textWhat if cancer didn't have to be eradicated, but could be remembered, monitored, and controlled by the immune system itself?In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks speaks with Dr. Zachary Hartman, the lead researcher who revisited an extraordinary breast cancer vaccine trial conducted over 20 years ago. The trial involved a small group of women with advanced breast cancer. Women who, remarkably, are all still alive today.By analyzing their blood decades later, the research team discovered that these women still carried immune cells capable of recognizing their cancer, suggesting durable immune memory lasting more than two decades. (Study link here.)We discuss:The original breast cancer vaccine trial and what it was designed to do, in plain languageWhat it was like to discover that the women from the trial was still alive more than 20 years laterHow the immune systems of these women continued to recognize cancer cells long after the trialWhat CD27-positive immune cells are and why they matter, explained simplyWhy helper CD4 T cells may be just as important, or more important, than killer CD8 T cells when it comes to cancerWhat happened when researchers combined a CD27-boosting antibody with a cancer vaccine in miceWhat surprised the research team mostThe challenges of translating findings from mice to human trialsWhether cancer could someday be managed long-term by the immune systemHow generalizable this immune memory might be across different cancersWhat this research could mean for how we think about vaccines in a post-pandemic worldThe one key message the researcher hopes the public takes awayWhat's next in this line of researchThis episode offers a rare, hopeful (but scientifically grounded) look at how the immune system may be capable of remembering cancer for decades. Guest Bio: Dr. Zachary C. Hartman is an Associate Professor at Duke University in the Departments of Surgery, Pathology, and Integrative Immunobiology, where he also serves as Director of the Center for Applied Therapeutics and is a member of the Cellular and Molecular Biology and Genetics and Genomics programs. He earned his undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and completed his PhD at Duke University, followed by postdoctoral training in tumor immunology and breast oncology at Duke and the MD Anderson Cancer Center. In 2012, Dr. Hartman returned to Duke to establish a research program focused on tumor immunology and the development of cancer immunotherapies, including therapeutic vaccines, immune agonists, checkpoint inhibitors, antibody-based therapies, and strategies to stimulate anti-tumor immune responses.  Work with me?

▶︎▶︎Preorder my new book The Connection Code: https://theconnectioncodebook.com/Your circadian rhythm controls far more than sleep. It regulates your nervous system, hormones, metabolism, immune response, mood, and brain function. When it's disrupted, it's only nature for the entire system to feel off. Modern lighting, screens, and indoor living have quietly pulled our bodies out of its natural rhythm, which keeps the nervous system stuck in stress mode even when life slows down.In this episode, I break down why circadian rhythm is the foundation of nervous system regulation and how light acts as the primary signal that keeps your body in sync. I walk you through a simple, science-backed circadian rhythm reset using morning, midday, and evening light to help your nervous system shift out of fight-or-flight and back into balance. No perfection required, no extreme routines — just practical tools that work with your biology instead of against it.What You'll Learn:Why circadian rhythm is the master regulator of the nervous systemHow circadian disruption contributes to anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and hormone imbalanceThe connection between light exposure and cortisol, serotonin, and melatoninHow poor light timing keeps the nervous system in chronic stress modeWhy blue and white light at night interfere with sleep, recovery, and nervous system repairHow light guides brainwave states for focus, creativity, and deep sleepSimple morning, midday, and evening light habits for a circadian rhythm resetHow restoring rhythm supports energy, mood stability, immune health, and emotional regulationWhy consistency and timing matter more than intensity or perfectionResources:Preorder The Connection Code: https://theconnectioncodebook.com/My FREE resource to reset your circadian rhythm: https://beehive.drmelissasonners.com/circadian-rhythm-reset My favorite red light products: https://drmelissasonners.com/red-light-guide/ Previous episode on circadian rhythm and light tracking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA-lOK6jgno

What if the real differentiator between thriving franchise brands and struggling ones comes down to two simple traits: humility and hunger?In this episode, Adam Contos, a high-performance leadership expert, former CEO of RE/MAX, and a leading voice in the franchise industry joins us for a conversation that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what truly drives franchise success. From his early days in the Marine Corps reserves and law enforcement to leading one of the most recognized franchise brands in the world, Adam brings the kind of clarity leaders desperately need right now.Adam breaks down why risk-taking is non-negotiable, how leaders unknowingly sabotage progress, and why decision-making, not perfection, is the real engine of growth. He also shares what most franchisors get wrong when communicating with their networks, how to build A-player teams, and why visibility isn't optional if you want your franchisees to trust you. This is leadership without fluff: direct, grounded, and immediately applicable.Whether you're scaling an emerging brand, rebuilding systems, or trying to develop stronger leaders inside your organization, this episode gives you a clear look at the habits, decisions, and mindset shifts that actually move a franchise system forward. You'll walk away with a sharper mindset, clearer priorities, and a better understanding of what leadership actually requires.Connect with Adam:Website: https://www.adamcontos.com/Franchise Membership Community: https://yourfranchisegroup.com/Episode Highlights:Why risk tolerance separates winning brands from stagnant onesThe biggest leadership blind spots founders don't see comingAdam's simple 3–2–1 decision-making frameworkWhat “founder syndrome” looks like inside a franchise systemHow visibility builds trust at scaleWhy tech adoption is always a challenge and what to do about itThe real job of a franchisor (according to Adam)When and how to upgrade talent without guiltWhy humility accelerates leadership growthHow to develop leaders who can replace youConnect with Tracy Personal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/ JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsale JBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/ Email: podcast@jbfsale.com Connect with Shannon Personal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/ JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsale Website - https://shineexecutivecoaching.com/ Email - shannon@shineexecutivecoaching.com

“Weakness simply means your capacity is lower than what the moment requires.”I recorded this episode in the middle of a full, emotional, end-of-year season. The kind where you want to soak up every moment with your kids, make the holidays meaningful, and still somehow hold it all together… while feeling stretched, tired, and not quite like yourself.And that's exactly why I wanted to talk about weakness.Because what we usually call weakness isn't failure. It isn't a character flaw. And it doesn't mean something is wrong with you as a parent or a human. Most of the time, it simply means the demand of the moment exceeds your current capacity.In this episode, I walk you through how I've learned to understand weakness differently and what actually helps when it shows up, especially during high-demand seasons like the holidays.In this episode, I share:Why weakness tends to surface when life gets full, loud, and emotionalThe reframe that changed everything for me: weakness is about capacity, not characterHow shame turns moments of weakness into yelling, spiraling, shutting down, or controlThe four ways I see parents (and myself) respond to weakness:Projecting it onto our kidsAttacking ourselves with “I should be better”Trying to overpower it with willpowerHiding it and calling it “fine”Why self-attack does not create strength and what it actually does to your nervous systemHow truth and honesty stabilize your body and open the door to growthWhat I do now when I realize my capacity is lower than the moment requiresWhy repair matters more than perfection and what really builds resilience in kidsThe shift I'm inviting you into:Instead of asking yourself, What's wrong with me? Try asking, What support do I need right now?Because capacity can be rebuilt. Regulation can return. And when weakness is met with compassion instead of shame, it often becomes the place where connection deepens and growth begins.What I encourage you to practice this week:Stop running from weakness and get honest about what's happeningReplace criticism with curiosityLead with compassion first because safety is what allows changeDecide what actually needs support, not what needs to be fixedLet go of performance and focus on repair and honesty insteadA question to sit with:Where do you notice weakness showing up for you right now? And what might you need to adjust or ask for so you can show up with more kindness instead of more pressure?You don't need to be strong all the time to be a great parent. You just need to stay honest, keep noticing, and be willing to repair.xoxoAndee :) Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

▶︎▶︎Preorder my new book ‘The Connection Code': https://beehive.drmelissasonners.com/the-connection-code We're living in a time where information is everywhere, yet so many women still feel overwhelmed and stuck in survival mode. Modern self-care often adds more pressure, more rules, and more to-do's, leaving the nervous system even more dysregulated than before.In my recent stage talk for the International Hyperbarics Association, I shared why healing doesn't come from doing more, chasing protocols, or perfect routines. It begins with nervous system regulation, connection, and learning how to shift out of chronic fight-or-flight and back into safety, presence, and intuition — using simple, realistic tools that actually fit into daily life.What You'll Learn:Why chronic stress, digital overload, and constant stimulation keep the nervous system stuck in fight-or-flightHow nervous system dysregulation shows up as anxiety, burnout, brain fog, hormonal imbalance, and emotional overwhelmThe difference between living in beta brainwaves versus accessing alpha and theta for healing and clarityWhy self-care needs a rebrand — and why traditional self-care often misses the nervous system entirelyWhat “regulation reps” are and how short, consistent moments of regulation rewire the nervous systemHow micro moments of connection improve mood, focus, resilience, and emotional regulationWhy play, joy, and oxytocin are powerful tools for hormone balance and nervous system healthHow to move from living in your head back into your heart — without adding more to your plateResources:Preorder my new book ‘The Connection Code': https://beehive.drmelissasonners.com/the-connection-code My Red Light faves, with special codes and discounts: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/red-light-guide Be Inspired Mama Journal: https://amzn.to/4afbs3s Want a free and meaningful way to support the show?

This week's Dare Day episode was inspired by an unexpected quiet moment.An early morning drive.No traffic. No radio. nd the sudden realisation that I could hear birds singing — from inside the car.That small moment led to a bigger question: when did we stop noticing what's around us?In this bonus episode, Michelle shares a simple but grounding story about an early winter morning, a red sky, a cup of tea in the garden, and how listening — properly listening — shifted her entire day.The episode also connects to insights from Episode with Georgia, who described a chance visit to an RSPB hide that made her realise how much of the natural world she'd been missing simply because she'd never stopped to notice it.This isn't sentimental fluff. There's real science behind why moments like this feel so powerful.In this episode, we cover:Why natural sounds like birdsong calm the nervous systemHow most of us live in low-level fight-or-flight without realisingThe concept of “soft fascination” and why nature restores a tired brainHow listening grounds us in the present and eases anxietyWhy nothing has to change around you for something to shift internallyThis Week's Dare:Take 5–10 minutes early in the morning.Before your phone. Before conversations. Before the world gets loud.No music. No podcasts. No scrolling. Make a tea or coffee if you like. Sit outside, on a doorstep, balcony, or by an open window.Close your eyes. And listen.Birds, wind, distance, silence — whatever is there.You're not trying to relax. You're not fixing anything. You're simply reminding your nervous system that it's safe.If you've stopped hearing the birds, there's a good chance you've been carrying too much noise for too long.Want weekly dares like this?Dare Club is free to join and lands these weekly dares straight in your inbox, along with early access to live events and special announcements.You can sign up via the link in the episode description or through Instagram.Thanks for listening — and enjoy this week's dare.Join Dare Club https://stan.store/shewhodareswins Hosted on Acast.

But the research tells a very different (and far more hopeful) story.In this episode, I'm joined by Katie Edmonds, author of Heal Endo, to break down decades of studies showing that endometriosis often stabilizes, regresses, or even resolves.
