Paula and Eric are home from Nice, jet lagged, and ready to talk about it. Paula raced 70.3 World Championships on a course that demands technical descending skills built over years on European roads, and still finished top ten. The swim packs that split apart, arriving at the Col de Vance already fatigued, the Race Ranger rules that disrupted everyone's rhythm on the climb, a drafting incident that was caught live on the broadcast, fueling on a demanding course, and then on to questions.This week we discussed:Paula's 70.3 Worlds Nice full debrief: swim tactics, the Col de Vance, descending faster than 2019, and what the run actually felt likeThe on-camera drafting incident explained, what Race Ranger rules require, what happened on the climb, and the personal apology that followed the next dayWhy Kristian Blummenfelt's 1:05:12 half marathon off the bike might make more sense on this specific course than it looksKatie Schide showing up at the turnaround on the run course, and what it meant to Paula to see her thereThe Nice croissant run: hundreds of people, one visit from the French policeTTL Kona edition apparel launches Thursday, limited numbers, no pre-order, Foreign Rider collabDoes cadence actually matter for cyclists, or is it just a distraction from the real problem?Wheel-on vs. direct drive trainers for a new TT bike: what actually mattersBucket hats in triathlon: sun protection or aesthetic surrender?Where to position your support crew on a 70.3 run course for maximum impactRunning downhills without destroying your knees: shoe fit, grip, and why sizing up a full size might be the culpritMaking mountainous training roads translate to triathlon-specific fitnessTaper week from two pro perspectives: structure, what feeling bad on Tuesday actually means, and why consistency beats reinvention every timeA big thank you to our podcast supporters who keep the podcast alive.

How many things around your home are there because you're trying not to forget about them?The unopened letter on the counter. The parcel by the door that needs returning. The school form waiting for a signature. The insurance claim you still need to submit. Each one might seem small, but together they create a lot for your brain to keep track of.In this episode, I'm talking about the mental load of all those things we keep meaning to deal with, and why leaving a visual reminder out can feel like the safest way to remember it, especially if you have ADHD or recognise yourself in ADHD traits.You'll learn:Why unfinished tasks often turn into visual clutter, even when you know exactly where those things belong.Why your brain may be relying on objects as reminders, and what happens when there are too many competing for your attention.Why an ADHD brain often needs to see things in order to remember themHow to notice paper clutter and paper piles before they build upWhy a seemingly simple task can feel much bigger than it looks, particularly when it involves several hidden steps.How putting things off can start costing you money as well as timeA simple way to look at the things sitting around your home differently, without immediately deciding you need a whole new organising system.And if paperwork is one of the things you've been telling yourself you'll deal with later, this episode is your invitation to start noticing your own patterns with curiosity instead of judgment.Here's to noticing our patterns instead of judging them,CarolineI also touch on how this connects with Episode 193, Why Visual Reminders Turn Into Clutter, and Episode 173, Clutter Distractions, Procrasticleaning, and Mental Load.Struggling with Paper Clutter?

Your child's preschool number shows up on your caller ID, and your stomach drops before you even answer. Preschool never calls with good news. Your kid hit someone at the sand table, or kicked a friend in line for the bathroom, and now you're standing there wondering if you have to call another parent and apologize, and whether this is the start of your kid becoming the one nobody wants to play with. The conversation you have that night probably isn't the first one. You remind your child that we keep our hands to ourselves. Maybe there's an early bedtime attached this time, to show them you mean it. Then the same thing happens again the next week, and you start to wonder what you're missing. In this episode, I walk through what's actually driving hitting, biting, and kicking at preschool, both for kids who are dealing with a classroom that controls almost everything about their body for the first time, and for teachers managing a room of 20 kids with their own competing pressures. I share what happened when a child hit a teacher after being physically moved into circle time, and a moment from my own daughter's classroom where a nap-time standoff got resolved without anyone losing. By the end, you'll have a different question to ask than "how do I get the hitting to stop." Questions this episode will answer Is it normal for preschoolers to hit? Hitting, biting, and kicking are common at this age, especially once a child spends most of the day in a classroom where someone else controls when they sit, move, and talk. That loss of control is often what's underneath the hitting for three and four year olds. How do I stop my 4 year old from hitting at school? Repeating "hitting isn't okay" rarely works, because most kids already know that before the conversation happens. Look instead at what happened right before the hit, and what was building up earlier in the day. What are some common behavior problems that 4-year-olds experience in school? Hitting, biting, and kicking often show up around transitions, circle time, and group activities, the exact moments where a child has the least say over their own body. How to deal with challenging behaviors in preschool? Instead of treating the behavior itself as the problem to fix, it helps to look at what a child's body and day were signaling right before it happened, including sensory overwhelm and a loss of autonomy. How to handle disruptive behavior in the preschool classroom? For teachers managing a full room, a child's need can often be met alongside a teacher's own needs for competence, ease, and keeping kids safe, without one side having to lose. How to manage behavior in preschool? The better starting question isn't how to get the behavior to stop. It's what's happening in a child's body and day that leads them there, for parents and teachers both. What you'll learn in this episode Why a preschool classroom is often the first place in a child's life where an adult besides a parent controls almost everything about their body, and why that loss of autonomy can come out as hitting or kickingThe story behind a child who hit a teacher during circle time, and what came out only after the fact about what led to itHow to tell whether a child's hitting or kicking is coming from a sensory issue, an autonomy issue, or something else, and how that changes what actually helpsWhat teachers are usually working to protect when they enforce rules like Circle Time, including their own needs for competence, ease, and children's safetyHow I worked out a nap-time standoff with my own daughter's preschool that met her needs and her teachers' needs at the same timeA different question to ask instead of "how do I get this behavior to stop" Behavior is a signal - here's how to work with it You already have the instinct to look past the hitting or kicking and ask what's underneath it. What the Stop the Behavior Battles Masterclass adds is a repeatable way to find the answer in the moment, when your kid is already mid-meltdown and you don't have time to think it through from scratch. That's the whole method: four steps you can walk through with your own kid's situation, the same four steps you'll watch a real parent named Clarice apply to her own son's toy pickup standoff. Practice it enough times, and it starts to happen without you needing to stop and think through each step. When you enroll, you'll also get a 20-minute coaching session with Denise, our community manager and a credentialed coach, to help you narrow down the strategies most likely to work for your specific kid. And you'll get an invitation to a live call with me on September 16, where I'll share one of my own worst parenting moments and coach live on the spot.

Dave turned 40 this week, one day before they hit record, and he wants it understood that he has been looking forward to this. Thirty was a bummer. Forty is different. He expects his forties to be a decade of proficiency instead of a decade of learning how to do everything for the first time: better father, better disciplinarian, better coach, better husband, better at the farm. A decade of potency, he called it, which Adam immediately took in the least charitable direction available and turned into a bit about donating blood and testosterone at the same time. Before that, though, there was a real moment. Adam asked how his spiritual life was and Dave told the truth. He has been in a down recently, the kind where things you have always known to be sinful start to look not that bad, and the only thing that held the line was habit. Intellectual habit, built over years, doing exactly what habit is supposed to do when feeling has gone quiet. Then the piglets. Adam has been building a pig pen since last fall, thinking it through all winter, and Dave finally called to say his sow's litter was ready. Adam ran hot wire that morning, got everything set, and had the sense to put just one pig in first to see what would happen. The pig touched the hot wire, did not get shocked, backed up four steps, ran, and cleared the boards. Twenty seconds. It landed close enough that Adam caught it by a back leg. Welcome to the swine herd community.Sponsor: Amen app (from the Augustine Institute) Free, no paywall, no subscription.

Download the Amen app.Sponsor: Select International Tours When Adam and Dave went looking for help leading their first pilgrimage, everyone they asked pointed to the same name: Select International Tours. Having used them, the guys can vouch for it. Wherever in the world you want to go, whether leading a pilgrimage or joining one, head to selectinternationaltours.com and see what they have ready for you.The pour is Pabst Blue Ribbon, which won a blue ribbon at some point a long time ago and has been telling everyone about it ever since. Adam will defend it. Not as a great beer, but as a beer that belongs in the category of things you can hand a man who walks into your house without apologizing. Oklahoma has been over 100 degrees for something like seventy straight days, all of July and all of August, and on a day like that PBR is exactly right.Then the main topic. Wendell Berry died August 31 at home in Port Royal, Kentucky, at 92. Kentucky farmer, novelist, poet, essayist, five generations on the same ground his family had worked since the early 1800s. He took degrees from the University of Kentucky, went off to the city to be a writer, got everything a young writer is supposed to want, and decided quickly that it was not what he wanted. So he went home. He farmed with horses long after he could afford a tractor. His writing cabin, 16 by 20 feet on stilts over the Kentucky River, had no electric light. He never owned a television or a computer and never sent an email in his life. He answered his mail by hand, including letters from strangers, at length, signing every one "your friend, Wendell Berry."Dave once told Adam that Berry is his favorite person to read with whom he disagrees, and that line has stuck. Dave is not a pacifist. There are foundational places where he and Berry part ways. But reading Berry sharpened his own thinking precisely because the case on the other side was so well made, so obviously pondered and re-pondered over decades. Not rookie opinions. Not virgin thoughts. Which raises a question worth sitting with: who do you read that you disagree with? Most men cannot answer it, and that is the problem.Berry's own account of what the land taught him: patience, because the crop keeps its own schedule and will not wait for you. Consequence, because there is no control-Z on a hillside. He plowed and dug a pond on sloping Kentucky ground and then watched it wash out, taking with it topsoil that had taken a thousand years to accumulate a millimeter at a time. Scale, because the land you keep is known intimately by you and nobody else, which spots bloom first, which die first, and holding that in your head is closer to a virtue than a skill. The body as a means of knowing, because the health of the mind proves itself in physical work. And fidelity to one place over time. Asked by NPR in 1998 what he would tell young people, he said stop some place and stay there, and learn the history of it, the names of the plants and the animals and your neighbors.Adam brought in Josef Pieper to name what that is. Working hard is not the opposite of sloth. The opposite of sloth is the glad acceptance of your own life. A man can be busy at every hour of the day and still be a slothful man, because the busyness is a way of refusing the life he actually has.Dave read The World-Ending Fire on Adam's recommendation and could not get past a passage early on about the difference between a path and a road. A path is submissive to the terrain. It yields to creation, goes through the trees, puts you in nature instead of over it. A path is almost a virtue, a habit of travel, a memory you relive, an inheritance you walk because others walked it first. A road does violence to it. You level the ground and go through instead of being part of it.Which sets up the essay. In 1987 Berry published "Why I Am Not Going to Buy a Computer," and it went on to become the most reprinted thing he ever wrote, which is its own joke. He gave nine standards a new tool ought to meet: cheaper than what it replaces, no bigger in scale, demonstrably better at the work, less energy, ideally powered by something like the body, repairable by a person of ordinary intelligence with ordinary tools, purchasable and repairable near home, sold by a small shop that will take it back, and the hard one, number nine: it should not replace or disrupt anything good that already exists, including family and community relationships. We have almost entirely stopped asking that one. We look at output and never at cost, and technology almost always charges its cost in person-to-person contact.His three reasons were dependence, household, and self-deception. Dependence on strip-mined Kentucky coal to run the thing. Household, because the model being discarded was his wife, Tanya, his editor, his critic, his closest reader and fellow worker, and going up to date as a writer would have meant sacrificing an association he treasured and depended on. That reason is what critics went after hardest, feminism being what it was in 1987, and he answered them in print. Self-deception last, and best: he simply did not believe anyone writes better with a computer than with a pencil. Show him work demonstrably better than Dante's, demonstrably attributable to the machine, and he would speak of computers in a more respectful tone of voice, though he still would not buy one.The guys are fair to it and to themselves. Dante is not a fair standard, since nobody in the 300 years before the computer wrote as well as Dante either. But the point underneath it holds. Berry wrote in pencil because when you cross out a word and write another above it, the path you traveled is still visible in front of you, the way a footpath is. And there is something sacramental about it. The pencil hitting the paper is the incarnation of a thought. The labor is not an obstacle to the writing. The labor is the writing, and the satisfaction of finally getting a sentence to say what you actually meant is only available to the man who did the wrestling.Which is where AI comes in, one week after the guys spent a whole episode on it. You do not appreciate a well-kept lawn until you have kept one. You do not appreciate a tomato until you have grown one. You do not appreciate writing until you have done it. Hand the wrestling to a word-guessing machine and the sentence still arrives, but it is sterile, generic, recognizable on sight to anyone who has ever fought for a line. AI is contraceptive language. There is no fecundity in it. The guys expect a backlash, the same pullback that is already happening with social media among the young, once enough people notice what got traded away. Berry's whole vocation was to turn our minds back toward the ground. Which, as Dave pointed out, is where the first man got both his name and his job: adam from adamah, formed out of the earth and made for the earth, a husband to the soil before there was ever any sin to explain it. That is not nostalgia. That is the job. Go read him. You will not agree with everything. Neither do they. Protect the labor. Provide something you actually made. Establish a place and stay in it. May the mad farmer rest with the eternal farmer. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDWhether a man actually gets wiser as he gets older, and why a sinful life makes him dumber insteadDave turning 40 and why he was looking forward to it in a way he never looked forward to 30The forties as a decade of proficiency and self-mastery instead of learning everything for the first timeA spiritual down, and relying on intellectual habit when things you know to be sinful start looking not that badAdam's two piglets from Dave's sow, and a pig pen contemplated since last fallA piglet clearing the boards twenty seconds after being let in, and getting caught by a back legBeer of the week: Pabst Blue Ribbon, and the case for beer that

What happens when following your dream asks you to heal, change direction, and make choices that don't necessarily make sense to anyone else? In this episode of the Soul Health Mentor Podcast, I sit down with registered nurse, life coach, Reiki Master, podcast host, and founder of The Urban Healer, Timea Urban, for an honest conversation about the courage it took to follow the dream that kept revealing itself to her. Timea shares the wake-up call that began her healing journey, the years of inner work that followed, and how subconscious reprogramming, nervous system regulation, and somatic healing became foundational pillars of both her own transformation and the work she now shares with others. Together, we explore her story through the From Dreaming to Done™ Soul Map Spiral—from Dream Spark and Soul Yes through healing, alignment, courageous expression, and ultimately Integration/Done. We talk about listening to the body when the mind says otherwise, recognizing when relationships and environments are no longer aligned, letting go of society's definition of success, and developing enough self-trust to keep following your own path. And on the other side? Joy. Not a perfect life, but a life that feels like yours. As Timea reminds us: your dream chose you. Stay in your lane, keep going one step and one breath at a time, and allow your own path to unfold. Connect with Timea The Urban Healer: theurbanhealer.ca Instagram — @the.urban.healer: Follow Timea on Instagram Discover Your Joy with Timea Urban: Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify Follow the dream. Trust what your body knows. And keep becoming the person who can live your joy.

The Family Photos I Almost Disappeared FromHave you ever volunteered to be the one behind the camera?Not because you love taking pictures—but because it felt easier than being in them?For many mothers navigating eating disorder recovery or body image struggles, family photos aren't just about preserving memories. They can become moments where shame quietly asks us to disappear.In this episode of Lift the Shame, we're exploring what happens when body shame convinces us that the people we love deserve to remember everyone except us.Together, we'll gently untangle the fear of being seen, the stories we've carried about our bodies, and the deeper truth that our children aren't looking for perfection—they're looking for us.Because one day, those photographs won't simply remind your family what you looked like.They'll remind them that you were there.In this episode, we'll explore:Why family photos can feel unexpectedly vulnerable in eating disorder recoveryThe quiet ways shame asks mothers to disappear from their own livesHow body image struggles can steal memories long before they steal photographsA compassionate way to begin choosing presence over perfection, one small moment at a timeA gentle invitation…Before you put your camera away this week, I wonder if you might let someone else take just one photo of you.Not because you've finally learned to love every part of your body.But because your story is happening now.And you deserve to be part of it.If today's conversation resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.

Overthinking But You're the X Factor | Stop Overthinking and Trust YourselfDo you struggle with overthinking every decision, big or small? In this episode, we're breaking down why overthinking isn't really about finding the right answer — it's about control. If you find yourself spiraling before every decision, replaying conversations that haven't even happened, or asking everyone's opinion except your own, this episode is your permission to stop.We're exposing the real cycle behind chronic overthinking — what happens after the decision, why the relief never sticks, and why you keep landing back at square one. You'll learn the proof-gathering reframe that changes how you see every spiral coming, why your nervous system is still protecting a threat that's no longer there, and how to start trusting your own capacity instead of trying to control every outcome.Whether you're a high-achieving woman navigating decision fatigue, a busy mom stuck in survival mode, or someone who just can't seem to turn her brain off at night — this episode will help you understand what's really underneath your overthinking, and why you've been more capable than you've been giving yourself credit for.By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with:A new understanding of why you overthink (it's not what you think)A framework for recognizing your own spiral before it takes overA simple practice for building self-trust in real timeA reminder that you have survived 100% of your hardest days — and you'll survive this one tooIf you're ready to stop overthinking, release the grip, and start trusting yourself again, hit play.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Overthinking's Big Lie01:40 Why You're Always On Guard02:41 The Overthinking Cycle04:23 Proof You Won't Be Wrong05:50 Control vs Self Trust07:00 Check Your Real Life Resume08:18 You Are the Proof10:12 Self Love Two Step11:20 You Are the X Factor13:01 Final EncouragementSELF LOVE 2-STEP REMIX:Step 1 — Notice the grip.

Episode 5 — You Don't Have to Be Strong All the TimeA gentle reminder that vulnerability is not weakness — it's the bravest thing you can do. You don't have to hold it all together. You don't have to perform strength. You are allowed to be soft, to be messy, to be human.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SHOW NOTES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━TIMESTAMPS[00:00] Opening — Welcome & settling in[02:15] Settling In — When was the last time you told the truth about how you're doing?[04:30] The Theme Part 1 — Strength as survival mode, not living[07:30] The Theme Part 2 — Vulnerability as courage, letting people see the real you[11:00] Breathwork — Softening, letting go, giving yourself permission[14:30] Affirmations Part 1 — It's okay to not be okay, to ask for help, to rest[16:30] Affirmations Part 2 — Permission to take up space, change, feel, and be enough[19:00] Closing — You don't have to be strong right now, you just have to be here━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━STORY SUMMARYThis episode explores the pressure we put on ourselves to always be strong.

Episode OverviewIn this conversation, Amy Wheeler sits down with yoga therapist and educator Ashley McKeachie to explore the lived experience of ahimsa—non-harming—as it unfolds in real time with aging bodies and evolving nervous systems.Ashley shares how her work with older adults (ages 55–95+) has reshaped her understanding of yoga therapy, shifting from performance and outcomes toward presence, pacing, and relational care. What emerges is a grounded and practical view of yoga as a system that supports resilience, dignity, and connection across the lifespan.This episode offers a clear lens into how yoga philosophy becomes actionable—not as theory, but as daily practice.About Ashley McKeachieAshley McKeachie is a yoga therapist, educator, and department chair at Saddleback College's Emeritus Institute in Southern California. She teaches large-scale classes in yoga, balance, mobility, and wellness for older adults, integrating yoga therapy, breathwork, and philosophy into accessible, community-based education.Her work centers on helping individuals build confidence, regulate their nervous systems, and maintain independence through thoughtful, adaptable practices.Key Themes in This EpisodeAhimsa as a Lived PracticeAhimsa moves beyond the idea of “non-violence” and becomes a daily inquiry:How am I treating myself right now?Am I pushing, or am I listening?Is this choice supporting stability or creating strain?For Ashley's students, ahimsa often begins with self-permission—to slow down, to rest, and to shift lifelong patterns of over-effort.Aging and the Nervous SystemWorking with a population ranging from their 50s to mid-90s, Ashley highlights:The persistence of “push through” mentalitiesThe challenge of changing patterns that have “worked” for decadesThe opportunity to reintroduce softness, pacing, and awarenessRather than decline, she often observes:Increased strength and balanceImproved confidence and postureGreater emotional regulation and clarityBreath as a Foundational ToolOne of the most consistent takeaways from her students:“You've taught me how to breathe.”Breath becomes:A tool for managing medical procedures and stressA way to regulate the nervous system in real timeA lifelong skill that extends far beyond the classroomThe Role of Sangha (Community)Ashley emphasizes that community is not secondary—it is essential.In her classes:Students learn each other's namesGroup work is intentionally structuredSocial connection is actively facilitatedFor many older adults facing isolation, this becomes a primary source of:BelongingEmotional supportContinued engagement with lifeSlowing Down as a Therapeutic StrategyAshley's teaching approach prioritizes:Slow pacingChoice and autonomyExploration rather than performanceThis creates:A sense of safetyReduced fear of movementIncreased willingness to participateA Dream UnplannedAshley reflects on her professional path—from training younger yoga students to working with older adults—and describes her current role as:“A dream I didn't even know I had.”Her experience highlights an important thread:Direction mattersEffort mattersAnd there are moments where something larger organizes the path forwardPractical TakeawaysListeners may consider:Where am I pushing when I could be listening?What would ahimsa look like in my daily routines?How can I support both independence and connection as I age—or support others who are aging?Am I allowing enough time for stillness and internal awareness?Resources & Where to Find AshleySaddleback College Emeritus InstituteFree or low-cost classes for adults 55+Many online options available across multiple statesRancho La Puerta (Mexico)Wellness retreats where Ashley teaches periodicallyFocus on nervous system balance, nature, and immersive learningClosing ReflectionThis conversation invites a steady reframing:Ahimsa is not passive. It is not avoidance.It is an active, moment-to-moment discernment— a willingness to support life, rather than override it.And in many ways, the later years of life offer a clear mirror: what we practice consistently is what carries us forward.

Have you ever hit the snooze button on something you knew you needed to deal with, and then watched the consequences pile up? In today's episode, I'm digging into one of the most overlooked truths in Scripture: time is a governor over our lives, and the wise are the ones who know what time it is. Drawing from 1 Chronicles 12:32, Psalm 90:12, Ephesians 5:15-17, and the tragic stories of Hezekiah's Judah (Isaiah 22) and King David (2 Samuel 11-12), I walk through what happens when we ignore the "set times" God has placed over our lives, and what it looks like to live awake, alert, and ready for the Lord's return. In this episode, you'll hear: Why "knowing what time it is" is a mark of biblical wisdom (and what happens when we don't)The story of the sons of Issachar, and what it means to have "understanding of the times"How Judah's leaders did all the right things in the wrong order, and what it cost themThe domino effect of King David's one moment of ignoring God's timingWhy even the godliest among us are still bound by timeHow a "kingdom first" mindset changes the way you steward your timeA personal wake-up call to examine what season you're really in Where to Dive In: 0:00 - Do You Know What Time It Is? 2:20 - Loving God's Word: From Junk Food to Living Bread 7:00 - Time Is a Governor 11:51 - Why Everything in Life Is Ruled by the Clock 20:22 - The Sons of Issachar: Understanding the Times 27:02 - A Time for Every Matter Under Heaven 29:22 - Judah's Tragic Mistake: Wise Moves, Wrong Order 32:56 - You Did Not Look to Your Maker 40:37 - King David: A Man After God's Heart, Still Bound by Time 44:00 - The Snooze Button That Changed Everything 50:28 - The Domino Effect of Ignoring God's Timing 53:04 - The Clock Is Ticking: Salvation Is Nearer Now 58:50 - Your Personal Wake-Up Call 1:00:27 - Final Challenge and Prayer Scriptures Referenced: 1 Chronicles 12 : 32Psalm 90 : 12Ephesians 5 : 15-17Ecclesiastes 3 : 1Isaiah 22 : 8-142 Chronicles 322 Samuel 11-12Romans 13 : 11Acts 1 : 7 About your host: Jaime Luce' testimony has daunting personal mountains and treacherous financial valleys.

Relationship Compatibility Test: Are You Actually Compatible?Relationship compatibility is the topic of the day as John and Echo take a 40-question compatibility quiz live on the show to find out if they should "get a divorce" — or keep going. They break down everything from shared hobbies and core values to conflict resolution, household chores, and sexual satisfaction, scoring each answer one to ten and debating the results in real time.Along the way, the conversation turns into a deep dive on boundaries (and what actually makes a boundary valid vs. a manipulation tactic), why traditional masculine and feminine roles eliminate so many common relationship conflicts, and whether compatibility is something you're born with or something you can build.

His definition of sustainability is simple and worth sitting with: work that is aligned with your interests is sustainable, and the drag of burnout shows up when there is interference and conflict instead of alignment.What you will hear in this episode:Why sustainability is about alignment with your interests, not just doing less, and how "slow down" can mean five different thingsHis trial-and-error method for building a personal repertoire of recovery tools, using something as ordinary as what you choose to watch at nightHow he protects a sacred solo lunch, eats at his desk, and works calisthenics and movement into the day instead of a separate gym routineThe honest distinction between what drains him: a suicidal patient that morning did not deplete him, but a misaligned patient asking for a quick fix didHow he screens for fit by taking every call himself and asking one question: "Are you curious?"How to neutrally end or decline a relationship that is not a fit, and why modeling that can itself be therapeuticThe story behind Self Recovery: why he spent years writing a true addiction curriculum rather than referring patients to subpar optionsHis addiction model that became the course structure: emotional pain leads to craving, craving to following through, following through to false pleasure, with a capstone on how to actually liveWhy an educational designer helped him break heavy material into digestible, story-driven modules that keep people asking "what's next"Why online, private, self-paced work helps people face their hardest material when they are ready, on their own timeA one-minute motivational interviewing technique any physician can memorize: "On a scale of zero to 10, how ready are you to change?" then "Why not higher, and why not lower?"The tool most physicians leave on the table in addiction care, and how to pitch it as helping a patient be accountable to their own better halfHis incremental, no-big-scary-beast advice for physicians who feel stuck but are not yet a 10 out of 10 ready to make the leapConnect with Dr. Hochman:Self Recovery (online addiction curriculum, direct to consumer)The Zanko Method, a curriculum for professionals living with addiction.One-day Intensives at his practice: hochmanhealth.com (see the Intensives tab)New to DPC?

This week on Practically Pastoring, Andrew sits down with Tim, Delmar, and Jeff for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with a tough pastoral leadership question and ends with Holy Week and Easter check-ins.Question 1 is a sticky restoration situation: a man who confessed an emotional affair, continued the relationship for a year during a messy divorce, and has been out of meaningful church membership for years, now wants to rejoin the church while also continuing to “preach out.” The guys dig into the difference between membership and leadership, forgiveness and trust, gifting and qualification, and what a clear restoration pathway should include.

What do you do when you have three possible paths in front of you and no idea which one to choose? In this episode, I'm answering a listener question about finding a coach and making the "right" decision — and challenging the idea that there even is one. I share why waiting for the perfect mentor before making a move might be keeping you stuck, what a good coach can (and cannot) do for you, and why the most important skill you can build in business has nothing to do with strategy. Here's the quick list of what's covered in this episode:You already know which path to choose — a good coach's job is to help you see what's already inside you, not tell you what to doThere is no wrong path, only paths that teach you more about yourselfThe real lesson entrepreneurship is trying to teach you right now is to stop being afraid of making the wrong choiceLife will keep bringing the same lesson back around until you learn it — and it gets harder each timeA good coach helps you learn your lessons faster, not avoid them altogetherCoaching works best when you already have a foundation of self-trust and self-awarenessInvesting in high-level coaching before you've done the foundational work often leads to freezing, not growthThe most important skill in entrepreneurship is becoming someone who can make decisions quickly and trust themselves to course-correct if needed

Our guest in this episode is Robert Lee Camp, master of the Cards of Destiny system, software developer, and long time student of astrology. Robert has spent 35 years helping people explore what he describes as a mathematical blueprint reflected in a standard deck of playing cards, and how it connects with astrological influences. We talk about where meaning in the card deck comes from, why “newspaper horoscopes” fail, how he blends card work with astrology for more practical and psychological insight, and where AI fits, both as a coding assistant and as a possible future interface for his style of readings.Key points discussed include:* The playing card deck as a mathematical structure, including claimed correspondences like 52 weeks and 365 total pip values.* The Cards of Destiny concept that month and day of birth map to a “life card”, with multiple birthdays sharing the same card, and why that does not mean identical lives.* A clear critique of generic horoscope columns, they are too broad to be meaningful, and often function as entertainment rather than disciplined interpretation.* AI as a useful helper for code and research, plus a sober warning about errors and confident wrong answers, and why human judgment stays central.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Show Notes from this episode with Robert Lee Camp, Cards of Your DestinyThis conversation with Robert Lee Camp goes to a place we do not visit every week on Innova.buzz, the intersection of esoteric systems, pattern interpretation, and modern tools. Robert is candid about his own pathway, he started with astrology, then encountered an old book, Sacred Symbols of the Ancients (1940s), that connected playing cards with symbolic meaning. That discovery, and the accuracy he felt it had for him, pushed him into decades of study and teaching.He frames the “regular” 52 card deck as more than a game tool, a structure with mathematical features that appear to mirror calendar cycles. From there, he introduces the core idea many listeners will want to test immediately: your month and day of birth maps to a specific card, and there are multiple birthdays that can share the same card. He is careful, though. Same card does not mean same life, or the same outcomes. He describes each card as having a range, a higher and lower expression, plus many variations in between.The deck, the symbols, and what gets lost over timeA strong thread early in our exchange is simple curiosity about origins. Where did this standard deck come from, and why did it settle into this configuration of suits, courts, and numbers. Robert's view is that much of the original symbolic meaning has been lost, even to modern manufacturers. He offers one concrete example most people recognise visually: the Ace of Spades often being larger and more ornate than the other aces. Manufacturers may say “that's just how it's always done,” while Robert argues there is a symbolic reason inside the tradition.We also touch on the fact that not all cultures use the same deck format. That matters, because Robert's system is tied specifically to the 52 card structure and its internal relationships. Variations, even familiar ones used in certain European games, do not preserve the same correspondences.The rest of these show notes continue for paid subscribers, where we unpack the deeper ideas Robert surfaces beneath the surface of his stories: why the tabloid version of astrology fails, how he blends cards with planetary spreads for psychological insight, and what it really looks like to use AI as a high-speed assistant without losing your human judgment.If you're drawn to thoughtful conversations about patterns, systems, and the parts of our journey we can't fully automate, I'd love you to join the inner circle. It's where we explore the unpolished insights that rarely make it into polished episodes, the moments that sharpen our curiosity and keep us honest as creators.Maybe they'll keep your curiosity alive too.Blending cards with astrology, and why the tabloid version does not workRobert has an interesting position. He is blunt about generic horoscope columns, in his view, they cannot be valid because they apply to far too many people across a broad birth window. He calls that content made up, and he is not shy about it.At the same time, he speaks from the perspective of someone who has done many readings and has deep respect for more rigorous traditions, including Vedic and Chinese astrology. He describes these as detailed and practical in a way that surprises people who only know the “I'm a monkey” or “you'll meet a stranger today” versions.Where Robert places his own emphasis is more psychological. Instead of trying to play carnival fortune teller, he aims to help people understand inner patterns, issues under the surface, and the kinds of tensions that can be worked with, so life becomes less reactive and more intentional.The spreads and planetary influences, a glimpse of the internal logicRobert shares an image of what he calls the life spread and spiritual spread, with cards laid out in perfect order, and with rows and columns associated with planets. His claim is that particular placements within that grid correspond to strong planetary themes, and he gives an example of a card associated with Uranus and Aquarian influence.Even if you remain skeptical, the noteworthy part is that Robert is not presenting this as vague intuition. He is presenting it as a structured interpretive system, with internal rules, correspondences, and repeatable placements. That is a very different thing from random guessing dressed up as mysticism.AI, a helper that sometimes lies with confidenceThe AI segment is one of the most practically useful parts of the episode, because it strips away hype.Robert says there are already AI based astrology reading sites, and he expects it is only a matter of time until someone applies the same approach to his card system. His intention is to build that himself, training an AI to deliver readings in his style, so people can interact conversationally and ask questions about near term concerns.He is not naive about current limitations. He questions whether AI “thinks” in a meaningful way, because he has seen it fail at straightforward tasks and persist in wrong answers. He also offers the counterpoint from software work, where AI can be a serious productivity multiplier. His lead programmer, he says, is getting the work output of several people by using AI well, because he knows how to ask, how to verify, and how to integrate results.That is the line worth underlining: AI helps most when the human using it already has competence, context, and a habit of checking.In Summary:Robert Lee Camp invites listeners into a structured system that he believes reflects life patterns through the mathematics and symbolism of the playing card deck, and he links it to astrological influences in a way he claims is consistent and predictive.

We settle in for a cozy catch-up before diving into a conversation that feels grounded, brave, and beautifully real.Stephanie shares her journey to five years of sobriety—what led her there, what it's taught her, and how choosing an alcohol-free life didn't shrink her world… it expanded it. The sisters talk about what it means to build a life you actually want to be present for, the quiet strength required to change, and how sobriety can be less about restriction and more about freedom.From there, the conversation opens into the very real season of sandwich parenting—caring for children while supporting aging parents—and the emotional and logistical juggle that comes with it. Stephanie reflects on running a small business, staying deeply involved in her local community, and raising a family without losing herself in the process.You'll also hear about Stephanie's Maven program through Posey Law Group, where she helps women start and structure their businesses the right way—legally protected, empowered, and confident from day one.

In this episode, I explore the bidirectional relationship between the pelvic floor and our psychological state. How stress, anxiety, grief, identity shifts, and prolonged effort can shape pelvic floor tone, and how pelvic floor tension can feed back into how safe and settled we feel in our bodies.This is not an episode about blaming stress, over-psychologising symptoms, or replacing pelvic floor physiotherapy. It's an invitation to widen the lens.We'll talk about:Why pelvic floor exercises don't always “work”How anxiety and low mood can influence muscle tone and recovery (without pathologising)What research tells us about pelvic floor outcomes when psychological load is highMy own postpartum experience of pelvic floor tension, sexual discomfort, constipation, and grief, and what I didn't realise at the timeA guided exercise for releasing tension and tightness in the PF. If this episode resonates, let it be a prompt to think beyond physiology alone, to seek support, and to work with pelvic floor specialists who understand the whole picture, body, nervous system, and life context.If you're looking for a practical, anatomy-driven breakdown of the pelvic floor — without much psychology — this is an excellent companion episode to listen to alongside this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmlwtsJXrc0A key paper discussed in this episode, exploring the relationship between pelvic floor dysfunction and symptoms of anxiety and depression, and how psychological state may shape response to pelvic floor physiotherapy:https://doi.org/10.3109/01443615.2013.813913Helen KeebleHelen's work is thoughtful, evidence-based, and deeply respectful of the nervous system and lived experience.https://helenkeeble.com/Sydney Pelvic ClinicIf you're based in Sydney, this team is exceptional.

When you started parenting, you probably had ideas about the kind of parent you wanted to be. Maybe you imagined patient bedtimes and peaceful mornings. Then reality hit, and you found yourself doing things you swore you'd never do. Parent Maile Grace knows this feeling well. In this conversation, she shares how her parenting values have shifted since her daughter was born. She talks about moving away from strategies like timeouts that seemed to work in the moment but didn't align with what she truly wanted for her relationship with her child.  You'll hear how she supports her kids when they're fighting instead of jumping in to fix everything, and why building connections with neighbors matters more to her now than having a perfectly organized home. If you've ever wondered whether collaborative parenting actually works in real life, this episode gives you a peek into one family's experience. Questions this episode will answer What is collaborative parenting? Collaborative parenting means working with your child to solve problems instead of using punishments or rewards to control their behavior. It involves understanding what your child is struggling with and finding solutions that work for everyone. What are parenting values? Parenting values are the principles that guide how you want to raise your children and the kind of relationships you want to build with them. They often include things like respect, connection, autonomy, and understanding. How do children solve problems? Children learn problem-solving skills when adults support them through conflicts rather than immediately fixing things. They practice identifying their own feelings and what matters to them, then working together to find solutions. What is collaborative problem solving? Collaborative problem solving is an approach where parents help children navigate challenges by exploring what's hard for everyone involved and creating solutions together, rather than imposing consequences or rewards. How much sibling fighting is normal? Sibling conflicts are a regular part of childhood. Instead of trying to eliminate fighting completely, parents can focus on supporting children through these moments to help them develop problem-solving and relationship skills. Why is parent collaboration important? When parents work collaboratively with children, kids learn to understand their own feelings and what matters to them. This approach builds stronger relationships and helps children develop skills they'll use throughout their lives. What you'll learn in this episode How one parent's values shifted from wanting a "well-behaved" child to prioritizing connection and understandingWhy some common parenting strategies work in the short term but can damage relationships over timeA real example of how collaborative problem-solving looks when siblings are fightingHow to support children in working through conflicts without immediately stepping in to fix things

"That was a long time ago. I don't think it affects me anymore."Have you ever said this about something from your past? In this deeply personal episode, Justin shares his own recent experience of discovering how past trauma still lives in the body—even when we're not thinking about it.After a major spinal surgery in 1997, Justin thought he'd moved on. But when new back issues required x-rays nearly 30 years later, he felt something unexpected surface: a saddened familiarity, an inward collapse. The past was still there, waiting.This episode offers a real-time example of what self-regulation can look like during difficult moments—and an invitation to extend more compassion toward yourself and the feelings that surface, even when they're unexpected.Key takeaways:Why "I don't think about it" doesn't mean it's resolvedHow to permit your feelings while staying anchored in safetyThe value of building your Safety Baseline before the unexpected arrivesWhat it looks like to balance difficult emotions with safety in real timeA different kind of episode. A different kind of connection.

Time is a construct and if you ask me, it's magical. But, for so many people, managing time (and the lack of it) is incredibly stressful. If you've been telling yourself that you're behind, that you lost momentum, or that something went wrong because you slowed down- this episode is for you.Today, I'm diving into one of the most common (and quietly destructive) patterns I see with entrepreneurs: turning time into proof that something is wrong with us.We replay the past, obsess about the future, and label ourselves “stuck” when we don't know what to do next. And all the while, time itself stays exactly the same.In this episode, I break down why “I'm stuck” almost always just means “I don't know what I should be doing,” how rest and pleasure get mislabeled as procrastination, and why you are the one who decided how long things are supposed to take in the first place.I also share personal examples from taking time off, to nourishing myself with art and beauty, to very real moments of procrastination and the questions I use to interrupt the spiral when I start questioning my pace, my progress, or myself.If you've been using time as a weapon against yourself, this episode will help you put it down.In This Episode, I Talk About:Why our brains struggle to stay in the present momentHow entrepreneurs make up timelines and then punish themselves for themThe difference between changing pace and losing momentumWhy not knowing what to do doesn't mean you're stuckTime, energy, and money as our three core resourcesHow rest, pleasure, and beauty actually support sustainable successThree powerful questions to reset your relationship with timeA reframe I want you to sit with: what if you're always right on time?Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

In this episode, Davies Owens sits down with Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, to explore how families can recover wisdom in America through small, faithful practices at home rather than sweeping overhauls.Marissa challenges parents to reclaim confidence as their children's primary educators and encourages them to start with “micro, atomic habits” that build courage and clarity over time. Together, they discuss why young people are surrounded by information yet starving for meaning, and how virtue, responsibility, and service shape true maturity.
