Podcasts about taking control

In this episode of Cashflow Legendz, we're tackling what they don't teach you in school about money: how to break free from the traditional savings trap and create your own financial system using the Infinite Banking Concept. What if I told you that you could stop relying on traditional banks, stop paying high interest on credit cards, and make your money work for you instead of the other way around? That's exactly what we're diving into today. We'll cover: Why traditional savings accounts and 401(k)s keep you from being in control. How to redirect just 10% of your income into a specially designed whole life insurance policy. Why whole life insurance can serve as your own personal bank, offering guaranteed growth, dividends, and control. The power of “dumping” extra cash into your policy to maximize compounding. How to borrow against your policy to pay off debt, invest, or cover expenses—while your money continues to grow. Why repaying loans to yourself creates a system where you're making money twice. Whether paying off your mortgage early with your policy makes sense for your long-term wealth strategy. By the end of this episode, you'll see how Infinite Banking can give you control, flexibility, and the power to build real financial freedom. It's time to stop following the traditional playbook and start creating a system that works for you.   cashflowlegendz.com/ https://bethebank.krtra.com/t/q1ErFkvwM3rK

In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, host Ted engages with Travis Altman, a leadership and life coach, discussing the complexities of men's lives, the tension they face, and the importance of legacy. Travis shares his journey of transformation, the inception of his organization 'I Must Stand', and the impactful 'Wake Weekend' event designed to help men navigate their personal and professional lives. The conversation emphasizes the significance of understanding tension, making conscious choices, and the role of faith in leadership. Takeaways Travis Altman helps high-performing men achieve success without losing their families. Tension is the space between where I am and where I want to be. Financial success without family means nothing. Men often settle for a life of mediocrity without realizing it. Choosing comfort over purpose leads to self-betrayal. Legacy is defined by the decisions we make today. The Wake Weekend is a transformative experience for men. Tension is a gift that helps develop necessary qualities. Every day is a new choice towards the legacy we want to leave. Faith plays a crucial role in leadership and personal growth.

Send us a textKim Howerton is a certified Metabolic Health Coach health coach, teacher, speaker, and author. Her motivation to become a health coach was fueled by her own experience of ill health, which included polycystic ovarian condition, binge eating disorder, major depressive disorder, hypothyroidism, morbid obesity (now termed level 3 obesity), metabolic dysfunction, gastritis, IBS, and autoimmune disease.As age forty loomed, she knew she needed to get serious about her health, and over the next several years she devoted herself to getting educated about what it means to become and remain a healthy human.After transforming herself into a person in good health, she knew that nothing mattered more than sharing what she'd learned with others who felt similarly hopeless. She teaches her clients that relentless self-advocacy & self-improvement can turn the tide on the myriad health conditions plaguing society.Kim is the author of several books, including co-authoring her latest book with future podcast guest Dr. Ken Berry, called Common Sense Labs: A Practical Guide to Decoding Your Blood Work and Taking Control of Your Health (Updated and Expanded Edition)Find Kim at-https://www.kimhowerton.com/bookshttps://www.kimhowerton.comFind Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

We all love to take charge of our health and feel empowered by making proactive choices. For those of us with type-A personalities, that drive to excel, to stay on top of things, can be a real strength. We are organized, ambitious, and always ready to tackle the next challenge head on. But sometimes that same intensity and the need for control can make our health journey feel overwhelming, or even spiral out of control. Sometimes our type-A traits can help or hinder us. Navigating the slippery slope can be challenging for some. And that's why we're so glad to chat with Chelsea Caler. Chelsea is a gut and fatigue specialist. During this live, we are going to discuss the type-A loop and its impact on our health, choosing connection over control, managing physical and mental stress wither minerals, and more!Learn more about Chelsea's services: https://www.amindfulrevival.com/work-with-meGet tested for BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals with Million Marker's Test Kit: https://www.millionmarker.com/

What if the stories you tell yourself are the very things keeping you from true happiness and personal growth? Join me, Alison, as we challenge the narratives that bind us to cycles of fear and insecurity in this transformative episode of Alison Answers: Mission Awake. We'll venture beyond mere self-awareness to discover actionable steps for real transformation, encouraging you to use therapy not just for comfort, but as a launching pad for meaningful change. Together, we take ownership of our actions and embrace the discomfort necessary to disrupt negative patterns and shape the life you truly desire.Our focus shifts to the power of our thoughts and the ability to act from our highest selves. Are you living a life dictated by your historical self, repeating the same narratives day in and day out? With a practical seven-step process, we awaken to our patterns, becoming wise observers of our behaviors. By recognizing and naming the stories driving us, we regain agency over our lives, breaking free from the victim mentality. This is your wake-up call to start making conscious choices that align with the person you aspire to be, rather than the person your past tries to tell you you are.Embracing discomfort as a path to growth, we explore emotional resilience and the art of reframing feelings as data instead of threats. This episode is a rallying cry to confront familiar negative emotions and cultivate non-reactive behaviors. By practicing these skills in low-stakes situations, we train ourselves to respond differently, choosing short-term discomfort for long-term resolution. Join the Mission Awake movement to fight mediocrity and share the insights gained with others, fostering a community committed to triumphant change. Let's choose persistence and acceptance as we embark on this journey to become our best selves.Key highlights:Taking Control of Your ThoughtsEmbracing Discomfort for GrowthTransforming Patterns for Personal GrowthConnect with Alison:Instagram: @alisonanswers | @lagercounselingWebsite: LagerCounseling.comYouTube: Alison AnswersFacebook: Alison Lager Lcsw CasacPurchase Alison's book: “The Wake Up Call”Alison Answers Facebook Group: Join HEREWomen of Excellence FB group: Join HERE

In this episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast, we discuss recent health policy news and how to bring greater transparency to health benefits programs with returning guest, Jeff Hogan, President of Upside Health Advisors. Building on our previous discussion with Jeff - How First-Movers are Taking Control of their Health Plans in 2025 - we shed more light on the “PBM boogeyman” narrative, explaining how opaque pricing structures and unhelpful provisions buried in contracts must be discovered. Jeff reviews attempts by states around the country to intervene and halt steering and other practices that negatively impact health plans and their members - from early medical reform efforts to recent PBM-focused legislation. He also notes Medicaid cuts are likely to have some "second-order effects" that impact commercial plans, and the mood in Washington, DC, overall is "dazed and confused," so we can't count on help at the federal level.Highlighting the evolving role of PBMs and Capital Rx's expansion into medical benefit administration, it's apparent that the opportunity to reduce waste and take back control of benefits programs exists; however, "medical is worse," Hogan says. So, what is a plan sponsor or benefits consultant to do? Dig into those contracts - all of them (administrative services, broker, and stop-loss, to name a few) - and look at the provisions you're paying for! "This is where you discover the schemes that are occurring," he adds.Lastly, Jeff notes an interesting trend with health systems and direct contracting that's worth a listen, especially if you liked AH075 - What Health Systems Need [From a PBM]: A Blend of Tech, Transparency, and Understanding, with Lindsey Butler, PharmD, and Chris England.Related ContentCapital Rx Unveils Healthcare's First Unified Pharmacy and Medical Claims Processing PlatformSigns it is time to change your PBM vendor, and how to overcome common hesitations (BenefitsPRO)Replay - Strategic Well-Being: Rethinking Health Benefits to Empower Employees and Drive ImpactTo learn more about Upside Health Advisors, click here, or you can find Jeff on LinkedIn.For more information about Capital Rx and this episode, please visit Capital Rx Insights.

Key Takeaways: Money Systems Work Like Nature: Just like in nature, money systems depend on things like flow, limited supply, and trust to keep working properly. Money Changes with Society: Over time, money has changed—from gold to paper money to Bitcoin—showing how our values and systems grow and shift. Bitcoin as a Fresh Start: Bitcoin is a new kind of money. It uses digital tools and is limited in supply, giving people more control without needing to rely on banks. New Ways to Invest: Real estate and stocks used to be the main way to build wealth, but now digital assets like Bitcoin are becoming important too. Taking Control of Your Money: As old money systems become less trusted, more people are turning to digital finance to take charge of their own money and future.

Today, women live longer than men, but retire with far less money. And despite all the progress we've made, Australia's gender wealth gap remains stubbornly wide. Today I'm joined by Sarah Megginson, money expert and Head of Editorial at Finder, to unpack the insights from their 2025 State of Women's Wealth Report. We explore why women continue to fall behind financially, what drives the wealth gap beyond pay inequality, and most importantly, what women (and men) can do about it. You might be thinking, "Well, I'm not a woman — why does this affect me?" I think you really should listen to today's show because financial security isn't just about individuals. It's about families. Communities. Generations. When women build wealth, everyone benefits: More kids grow up in financially secure homes. More wealth gets reinvested into our economy. More retirees live independently, not dependent on government handouts. This is all about building a stronger, fairer, wealthier Australia.   Takeaways  ·         Women hold 40% less net wealth than men. ·         The gender pay gap begins in primary school. ·         Women are more likely to work part-time, affecting their superannuation. ·         Education is crucial for financial empowerment. ·         Cultural shifts are changing financial goals for younger generations. ·         The sandwich generation faces unique financial challenges. ·         Women over 50 are at a higher risk of homelessness. ·         Negotiating pay remains a hurdle for women. ·         Small financial steps can lead to significant changes. ·         Parents play a vital role in shaping children's financial attitudes.   Chapters  00:00 Introduction to Women's Wealth Report 04:36 Understanding the Gender Wealth Gap 07:28 The Impact of Career Breaks on Women's Finances 13:04 The Role of Parenting in Financial Education 18:46 The Sandwich Generation: Balancing Care and Career 21:25 Risk of Homelessness for Women Over 50 24:14 Taking Control of Your Financial Future 29:29 Empowering Women to Manage Money   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of How to Grow a Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio – in your spare time. ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2025 and beyond.   Finder's State of Women's Wealth Report https://www.finder.com.au/insights/state-of-womens-wealth-report-2025  Sarah Megginson - money expert and Head of Editorial at Finder https://www.finder.com.au/author/sarahmegginson  Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here    Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au

In this powerful episode, Dr. Tony breaks down the revolutionary science of epigenetics, revealing how environmental factors and lifestyle choices have far more influence on your child's health than previously understood. Dr. Ebel exposes the flaws in the outdated genetic theory still used by traditional medicine and empowers parents with knowledge about the "perfect storm" of environmental stressors affecting children today. Drawing from his unique background as both a farm kid who witnessed the rise of GMOs and a Neurologically-Focused Chiropractor, he explains how early life experiences can literally change gene expression. This episode provides hope and practical understanding for parents dealing with chronic childhood conditions like autism, ADHD, anxiety, and autoimmune disorders, showing that you have much more control over your family's health than the medical system wants you to believe.-------Links: Epigenetics: How Early Life Experiences Shape Your Child's Health and Development--------Key Topics & Timestamps([00:01:00]) - The Perfect Storm Revealed - Introduction to the three major epigenetic stressors: fertility/pregnancy stress, birth interventions, and toxic exposures([00:04:00]) - Farm Kid Origins & Scientific Awakening - Dr. Ebel's personal backstory with GMOs and discovering flaws in genetic theory([00:07:00]) - What is Epigenetics? - Environmental influence over genetic code and the nervous system's role in development([00:09:00]) - The Research Revolution - Current science proving environment trumps genetic predeterminism([00:11:00]) - The Deck of Cards Analogy - Simple explanation of how you control which genetic "cards" you play through lifestyle([00:14:00]) - Taking Control of Your Family's Health - Practical empowerment for both healing current issues and preventing future ones-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

This episode we're diving into the intersection of aging and technology. My guest is Brent Franson, the Founder and CEO of Death Clock (yes, that's really what it's called), the world's most downloaded longevity app. It may sound scary but promise it isn't. It's been named one of the "Techs That Will Change Your Life in 2025" by The Wall Street Journal, and has ranked in the top five of the U.S. App Store's Health & Fitness category—so clearly, something's working. We talk about how AI and tech are transforming the way we think about aging, prevention, and longevity, especially for women in midlife. Brent created Death Clock out of frustration with a system that only reacts when we're already sick. His mission? Help people take proactive steps—before it becomes a health crisis. We explore why it's never too late (or too early) to start investing in your future self, how tech can empower women over 50, and why tracking your habits might be the most life-affirming thing you do. Here is some of what you can expect in this episode: What the Death Clock app actually does (and why it's not morbid at all) Why the healthcare system is reactive—and how tech helps you get proactive How AI can empower women in midlife to stay informed, independent, and healthy The surprising connection between daily habits and longevity How wearables and digital wellness tools are changing the game for aging If you're curious about AI, aging, or just want to live longer—and better—this episode is for you.

Let's be real—this isn't your typical Visibly Fit episode. But it's one you absolutely need to hear.This week, I sat down with author and speaker Hattie Bryant, and we delved into a conversation that many people avoid: how to die well. Not in fear, not in confusion, and certainly not in a hospital bed hooked up to unnecessary machines—but with peace, dignity, and purpose.Hattie shares her powerful personal story of helping her mother transition from this life with grace and how that moment shaped everything she does today. We talked about the heartbreaking reality of modern medicine's grip on end-of-life care, why many Christians are afraid of heaven, and how we can prepare both practically and spiritually to leave this world well.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of death, if you've watched someone you love suffer needlessly, or if you want to know how to take the pressure off your family when that day comes, you're going to want to tune in.This conversation is packed with encouragement, biblical insight, and practical instruction. It will challenge you, inspire you, and prepare you—not just for death, but for living more intentionally now.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[00:50] Podcast Introduction[01:30] Topic and Guest Introduction[05:02] Hattie's Book “I'll Have It God's Way”[07:50] Hattie's Mother's Tragic Stroke Story[11:19] “Everybody Needs A Hattie” Moment[15:35] Why Most Christians Fear Death[19:17] Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED)[21:07] Letting God Lead the End-of-Life Process[26:16] Preparing for the Inevitable[30:32] Choosing the Right Healthcare Proxy[33:25] Facing Mortality and Embracing Faith[40:20] The Deception of Comfort[42:30] Dying People Know But Loved Ones Can't Let Go[44:09] Questions To Ask Your Doctor[47:50] Understanding Life Choices and Eternal Perspectives[50:17] Resources and ConclusionResources mentioned:Grab Hattie's book: I'll Have It God's WayLearn more at: authorhattiebryant.comFREE VISIBLY FIT™ in 7 DAYS Workout & Meal PlanVisibly Fit 7-Week Accelerator ProgramConnect with today's guest:Hattie Bryant is a remarkable voice in navigating serious illness and end-of-life decisions with grace, clarity, and unshakable faith.
