Most days, we're too busy to ask ourselves how we actually feel. We just keep moving, ignoring the frustration, burnout, or tiny moments of joy that slip by unnoticed. But what would happen if you tracked your mood every single day?

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is a leading voice in modern faith leadership and the first woman elected to serve as Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, a role she's held since 2011. While the job isn't always glamorous, she says, the sacred moments in the public eye matter deeply—and she treats them with care. Bishop Budde gained national attention for boldly speaking out against the Trump administration, including condemning the 2020 photo-op at St. John's Episcopal Church and, more recently, offering a prayer for LGBTQ+ justice with President Trump and Vice President Vance seated before her. Her calm, courageous leadership has made her one of the most trusted voices in public faith today. In this conversation with Jen, Bishop Budde shares her journey from a small Minnesota congregation to the national stage—and how she finds the courage to speak truth to power and stand with the marginalized, even when the cost is high. Thought-provoking Quotes: “I think, in some ways, vocations choose you as much as you choose them.” – Mariann Edgar Budde “It's not as if the world stopped on January 21st. So much is happening every single day and there are consequences to the decisions being made.” – Mariann Edgar Budde “I wouldn't have chosen the way they're going, but a lot is being dismantled right now and we've got to be there to help rebuild.”  – Mariann Edgar Budde Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Raygun: Bishop Budde Fan Club T-Shirt - https://www.raygunsite.com/products/bishop-budde-fan-club Receiving Jesus: The Way of Love by Mariann Edgar Budde - https://amzn.to/45GO5jh How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith by Mariann Edgar Budde - https://amzn.to/4kbZtan Sermon by The Right Rev.

It's not a lack of information that's holding you back. It's not your schedule, or your inbox, or the algorithm. More often than not, it's just you, caught in the endless loop of waiting for the perfect plan instead of showing up consistently.

We all do it. That task you've been avoiding? Still there. That thing you told yourself you'd start tomorrow? Welcome to tomorrow. We like to think procrastination is just laziness, but it's usually something deeper. A hidden fear, a mental block, or maybe just a really well-organized form of avoidance.

I used to scribble notes everywhere, Post-its, Google Docs, notes app, my hand, and then wonder why I couldn't find anything when I actually needed it. Turns out, productivity isn't just about to-do lists and caffeine; it's about getting your digital life in order to free up your mental space and make room for better ideas (and fewer forgotten passwords).

Have you ever wanted to just start over, to hit control, alt, delete on your life and start from scratch? A few years ago, my wife Mel and I asked ourselves a terrifying question: What if we let it all go and started over? The answer sent us down an unexpected path, one that taught us a lot about freedom, burnout, and the science of change. In this episode, I unpack our story, explore the psychology behind the Fresh Start Effect, and reveal why the timing of change might matter more than the tools.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Motivation is often treated like this mysterious, elusive force, something you wait for, something that magically appears before you finally take action. But what if that's exactly backward? What if action itself is the spark that fuels motivation?

Your twenties are supposed to be “the best years of your life,” right? But no one tells you how confusing, overwhelming, and straight-up weird they can be. There are things we only learn the hard way, sometimes after a few missteps, sometimes after a full-on identity crisis in a grocery store parking lot.

We've all met that person, the one who's two green smoothies deep into the new year and already telling everyone how their “new routine” is going to change their life. But the problem is that talking about your goals can feel almost as good as achieving them. And that's exactly the trap. In this episode, I unpack why announcing your ambitions too early might be sabotaging your progress, how false dopamine rewards keep us stuck in the planning phase, and why the most disciplined people usually say the least.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Have you ever sat down to get something done and felt like your brain forgot to show up to the meeting? Like there's a thick haze between you and your thoughts, sluggish, scattered, stuck in neutral? Yeah… same. Brain fog isn't just a quirky phrase, it's a real, frustrating state that creeps in quietly and overstays its welcome. And in a world built to hijack your focus and drain your energy, it's no surprise that so many of us are experiencing it. In this episode, I dig into three surprisingly overlooked reasons you might be stuck in the fog, three practical ways to cut through it, and why the fix might not be another productivity hack or nootropic supplement.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comEpisode resources:Rewiring Your Brain For FocusThis episode is brought to you by:TonalLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

If you're looking to completely transform your life, you don't need to overhaul everything overnight. In fact, the most meaningful changes often come from the smallest shifts, the kind that take 10 seconds or less but pay dividends over time.

There are moments when sitting down to do something meaningful feels physically uncomfortable, like your brain is actively protesting. You open your laptop with the best intentions, and five minutes later, you're in a black hole of browser tabs, group chats, and a suspicious number of snack breaks. Why is it so hard to focus, especially on the stuff that actually matters? In this episode, I unpack the science behind that resistance, why our brains crave distraction, how dopamine has hijacked our motivation system, and why chasing pleasure might be the exact thing pulling us away from purpose.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Most self-help advice makes me cringe. Vision boards, “manifesting,” and the whole daily affirmation thing? Yeah, I've always put that in the woo-woo category. But lately, I've been stuck in my head, wrestling with self-doubt, perfectionism, and the classic case of overthinking everything. So I decided to try something that made me deeply uncomfortable: staring at myself in the mirror and saying things like “I am enough.” And no, I didn't spontaneously combust from secondhand embarrassment. In this episode, I test daily affirmations for a week, even the corny ones, and rope my wife into writing a few that are, well, questionable at best.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Ever stared at your to-do list and felt like it was staring back, daring you to make the first move? You're not lazy. Your brain's just doing what it was built to do: avoid discomfort, conserve energy, and protect you from anything that feels even slightly threatening, like starting that massive project you've been putting off for months.

When I launched this podcast six years ago, I imagined big things: millions of downloads, awards, and overnight success. But that's not what happened. Instead, I got eight downloads. And no, that's not a metaphor. In this episode, I share what actually kept me going when no one was listening. It wasn't hustle. It wasn't motivation.

I love to travel. And I also kind of hate it. On one hand, you're soaking in new cultures, trying unfamiliar foods, and pushing your comfort zone in all the right ways. On the other hand, your routine gets kicked in the face, your healthy habits vanish, and you leave feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation. After years of getting it wrong, I finally figured out how to travel without torching my well-being, and it all came down to one surprisingly simple shift.

I used to be the guy who wore a “HUSTLE” shirt unironically and believed burnout was just part of the process. Fourteen-hour days? Normal. Skipping meals? Efficient.

Have you ever wondered how the physical act of speaking can improve your communication? Kevin sits down with Michael Chad Hoeppner to discuss the physical nature of communication and exercises we can do to get better. Michael challenges our common assumptions about speaking, such as believing it's purely a mental activity. Instead, he introduces the concept of embodied cognition, explaining how communication is a physical activity involving over 100 muscles and should be approached like athletic training. Michael shares the science behind thought suppression and why focusing on "not saying um" is counterproductive. He also talks about the Five Ps of vocal variety (Pace, Pitch, Pause, Power, Placement) and how they impact your message.
