Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Some ADHD stories come from authors, psychologists, and researchers. This one comes from a 23-year-old ER nurse who learned early that the brain she has is exactly the one she needs.Nina Padilla spent ten years trying to get someone to take her ADHD symptoms seriously. From age thirteen through twenty-one, she told her pediatrician every year, “I think I have ADHD,” and every year she heard the same dismissal: good grades and good behavior meant she couldn't possibly have it. It wasn't until her last semester of nursing school, during a three-day panic attack, that she finally found a therapist who listened. At 23, she was formally diagnosed with combined-type ADHD and started on Adderall.Today Nina works in the pediatric emergency room at the same hospital where she fell in love with the chaos during her final clinical rotation. She calls herself an energizer bunny, moving so fast that a pediatrician once told her, "Nina, don't fix whatever's going on up there." That was the moment she realized her ADHD wasn't a disability. It was her superpower.In this conversation, Tracy and Nina talk about growing up emotional and misunderstood, finding your people early, seeking rejection on purpose to heal rejection sensitivity, and why the ER is the perfect place for an ADHD brain that never gets bored.For any listener in their twenties who feels unsure about the future, Nina offers the clarity so many of us need at that age: follow what interests you, work with the brain you have, and stop chasing a version of “productive” that does nothing but make you miserable.Resources:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nina_izabellaSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

It's a patented, science-backed coaching program that helps you stop fighting your brain and start building a life that fits.

On this episode of After Reality, I'm diving into one of my favorite topics as a recovering people-pleaser: the nervous system. I'm joined by somatic practitioner Kallie Klug (aka Kallie Somatics), host of the Your Own Medicine podcast, who breaks down what really happens in our bodies when we shift into fight, flight, freeze… and the response almost no one talks about: fawn.If you've ever apologized to keep the peace, said “yes” when you meant absolutely not, or shut down in conflict just to survive the moment, you might actually be fawning — a biological survival strategy wired for protection, not politeness. Kallie explains how fawning differs from everyday people-pleasing, how these patterns get formed, and why “just speak up!” doesn't stick when your body doesn't feel safe.We talk nervous system triggers, how trauma shapes behavior, and why so many of us feel tired, resentful, and burned out from being “good” all the time. Kallie also shares practical somatic tools for boundary-setting (especially during the holidays) and we get into her upcoming book, Tired of Being "Good": A nervous system map for reinhibiting your body after a lifetime of fawning.IG: @kali.somaticsYour Own Medicine Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/your-own-medicine-podcast/id1584877807 Hosted on Acast.

Tired of eating the same boring veggies every week? Let's talk about nutrient diversity—the health hack nobody's buzzing about but should be! It's not about being perfect or following strict rules; it's about bringing more color, flavor, and fun to your plate while feeling amazing.In this episode of Salad With a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck explores why micronutrients matter just as much as macronutrients. Learn how eating a variety of colored vegetables, embracing seasonal eating, and experimenting with different vitamins and minerals can improve gut health, support immune function, and enhance healthy aging. Hear practical strategies for adding dietary variety without complicating your routine, plus why the holidays offer a perfect opportunity for nutrient-rich foods.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why nutrient diversity and micronutrients are just as important as tracking your macros, and how eating a limited variety of foods puts your body into survival mode, affecting everything from energy levels to bone health and metabolic function.✅ The power of eating the rainbow—how different food colors indicate specific vitamins and minerals like iron, folate, beta-carotene, and antioxidants, and why incorporating plant-based foods with various phytochemicals supports immune support, digestive health, and reduces chronic disease risk.✅ Practical strategies to increase dietary variety without overwhelm, including shopping at farmers' markets, using frozen organic vegetables, cooking with global spices, and creating rainbow meals that make seasonal eating easy and affordable.✅ How the holiday season offers a hidden opportunity for nutrient diversity through festive foods you don't normally eat, and why developing a sense of culinary adventure helps improve gut microbiome diversity and overall wellness.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction to nutrient diversity as the overlooked health tool and how micronutrient variety impacts satiety, energy levels, and overall wellness during the holiday season06:59 Understanding micronutrients versus macronutrients and why vitamins and minerals deserve more attention in wellness conversations than just tracking macros08:48 The World Health Organization recommendations for daily fruit and vegetable intake10:12 Why we're not getting nutrient diversity: the food industry focuses on taste over nutrition, lack of crop rotation, and produce picked before ripening loses connection to soil nutrients14:42 Three crops (rice, wheat, maize) provide over half of the world's plant-based calories, yet lack the phytochemicals and bioactive compounds needed for optimal health16:46 Research linking dietary variety to reduced type 2 diabetes risk, lower metabolic syndrome, improved cognitive function, and better gut microbiome diversity18:26 Eating the rainbow: how different food colors signal specific nutrients—green for iron and folate, orange for beta-carotene, red and purple for antioxidants22:39 Cravings and listening to our bodies33:17 Practical tips for becoming a "varietarian," including organic options, seasonal eating, using global spices, and shopping at farmers' markets for inspiration38:35 Using frozen organic vegetables for affordability and convenience while maintaining nutrient-rich variety throughout the week without food wasteKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Rest is not the same as restoration, and your nervous system can feel the difference. If you're exhausted from “getting through the day,” this conversation is for you. In this episode, Tara, Maria, and Elizabeth unpack the difference between rest, relaxation, and true restoration and why your nervous system desperately needs all three. They explore what burnout really feels like in mid-life, especially for women juggling motherhood, marriage, careers, emotional labor, and the invisible mental load.  They also introduce Exhale, their in-person one-day retreat in Annapolis designed to help you feel safe, seen, supported, and truly restored alongside other women. In this episode: Understand the crucial difference between rest, relaxation, and restoration—and why only one truly rebuilds your capacity for “vigor and health.” Recognize the signs of a depleted nervous system and how distraction and over-responsibility keep you stuck in survival mode. Learn how time and energy function as boundaries, and why saying “no” (even to your kids) can be a powerful act of self-respect. Get practical ideas for creating restorative rituals that fit into real life, from simple shower routines to mindset shifts and reframes. Hear how the Exhale retreat in Annapolis is designed to remove your mental load, offer co-regulation, and give you a full day of being safe, seen, and supported.

You've made the plan. You felt good about it. But now you're staring at it, not doing it, and beating yourself up for lacking willpower or discipline. Here's the truth: there's no planner, app, or productivity hack that's going to make you follow through.

Because the answer isn't external. It's already inside you.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why asking others for help with follow-through is the wrong questionThe one question that changes everything about executionCommon reasons we avoid doing what we planned (and what to do about them)How to make intentional choices instead of guilt-driven onesWhy motivation won't save you________________________________

Tired of the feast-or-famine cycle in your coaching business? Part 1 of this 3-part series walks you through a strategic business audit to fill your coaching client roster in 2026. No fluff, just actionable data collection. I break down the 5 critical areas every coach needs to analyze before planning next year: revenue reality checks, time and energy allocation, marketing effectiveness, client analysis, and your "stop doing this" list.

#201: Tired of feeling whiplash from dating that starts strong, then fades by month three? We're pulling the curtain back on the pattern so many women recognize: consistent texts, thoughtful questions, future talk, and then a sudden dip in energy that gets explained away as “not ready” or “let's go with the flow.” We explore why these early signals feel like intention, how they set expectations, and what to do when words and actions stop matching.We dig into the deeper wiring, too. If inconsistency felt normal in childhood, your body might confuse unease with chemistry and intensity with safety. That's why steady effort can feel boring while the rollercoaster feels alive. We also unpack a subtler trend: when emotional intimacy becomes a shortcut to closeness—asking all the right questions without the capacity to maintain real responsibility. Masks don't just fall; they expire. Around the three to six month mark, performance gives way to patterns, and that's your clearest data point.So where does that leave us? With practical choices. We're choosing actions that don't need interpretation, a steady pace over fireworks, patterns over promises, and emotional responsibility over convenience. We talk about age and accountability, why access without direction is a dealbreaker, and how to ask for structure without apologizing. Most of all, we reframe “pressure” as a request for alignment: if the reality is close connection, let the definition reflect it. Silence protects the pattern; clarity protects you.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a confidence boost, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us. Your story matters—what pattern are you choosing to stop recycling next?You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you!

What if the fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn symptoms you've been brushing off are actually your body's way of waving a red flag—one that could completely change your health if you knew how to read it?

In this episode, Arnold shares a powerful story about bringing a friend to one of Austria's most treacherous ski runs—and the unexpected lesson that emerged when fear turned to tears at the top of the mountain. What happened on that slope reveals a truth about capability that applies to anyone feeling overwhelmed by a health journey, career challenge, or life goal.Arnold also discusses a groundbreaking study from the VITAL trial, which found that a simple, affordable daily habit slowed cellular aging by about 3 years. Plus, new research on why the speed of your body's temperature drop before bed matters more than your room temperature—and the surprising finding that small acts of kindness for others beat self-care for reducing anxiety, depression, and loneliness during stressful seasons.Tired of fitness and nutrition plans that don't work?

Tired of saying it's faster if I do it myself? We dive into a practical, human way to break the bottleneck and build a business that runs with you, not because of you. Our guest, Brittany Bettini of I Need a VA, lays out a straightforward blueprint: start with a life audit, delegate low-joy work, and capture your “pie recipe” in clear SOPs so results stay consistent even when hands change.We get honest about control, especially the hyper-independence many women entrepreneurs carry into their businesses. Brittany shares how she moved from doing everything to doing only what lights her up—coaching, teaching, creating—while VAs handle operations, inboxes, research, scheduling, design assets, and home tasks like groceries and laundry. The key isn't just offloading tasks; it's choosing what to keep based on joy, genius, and revenue impact, then backing the rest with documentation that a new hire can follow on day one.You'll hear how to use Loom and AI to turn screen recordings into step-by-step SOPs, why in-house virtual assistants (especially experienced Filipino VAs) protect your IP and culture, and how to structure training so your team writes and updates the manuals as they work. We cover mistakes to avoid—like over-relying on agencies for core functions—and the management rhythms that keep quality high without micromanaging: clear outcomes, visible dashboards, and monthly SOP reviews.

What Does a Perfect Bowling Game Have in Common With Top-Performing Sales Reps? Walk into a bowling alley on a Friday night, and you'll see a scene that looks like pure recreation. The crash of pins, the rumble of conversation, the squeak of shoes on the approach. But beneath all that noise is something far more serious: discipline, repetition, emotional control, and the relentless pursuit of mastery. That's the real game. And it's the exact game top performers play in sales. Selling rewards consistency, mental toughness, and the willingness to execute the fundamentals long after everyone else has checked out. When you break the sport of bowling down frame by frame, it mirrors what we teach every day at Sales Gravy. Fanatical Prospecting. Emotional control. Owning your process. Staying steady under pressure. Winning one shot at a time. Each frame reveals a truth about the way elite sellers think and operate. Frame 1: The Approach — Fanatical Prospecting In bowling, the shot starts before the ball ever moves. The routine is deliberate: same steps, same breath, same commitment. That's where consistency begins. In sales, your approach is prospecting. It's the moment you decide whether you're a professional or a hobbyist. Pros don't wait for a pipeline crisis. They build a non-negotiable daily rhythm of fanatical prospecting, exactly the way Jeb teaches it. “One more call. One more conversation. One more connection.” That mindset is your approach. That's the discipline that separates a bowler stepping onto the lane with purpose from the one sitting at the bar making excuses. You pick a target, commit, and move. Frame 2: The Lane — Owning Your Sales Process A lane looks the same every time, but it rarely plays the same. Oil patterns shift. Friction changes. Conditions evolve. Your sales process is no different. You can't control a buyer's internal politics or shifting priorities, but you can control how you move through your process. You can control your cadence, your discovery, your follow-up, and your commitment to advancing every opportunity with intention. Average sellers blame the lane. Pros read it. They ask better questions. They recognize where deals stall. They adjust without abandoning the fundamentals. The arrows exist to guide the ball; your process exists to guide you. Ignore it, and you drift straight into the gutter. Frame 3: The Ball — Your Message and the Triangle of Trust A bowler's ball is drilled to fit their hand, weighted for their style, and chosen for the conditions. Your ball is your message—your story, your questions, your ability to connect what you sell to what the buyer actually cares about. When you balance logic, emotion, and values, the ball rolls true. Most sellers throw the same generic pitch at every buyer. Pros tune their message. They refine their openings. They speak the buyer's language. Hit with too much emotion and no substance, you lose credibility. Hit with pure logic and no emotional relevance, you miss the pocket of influence. The goal is simple: strike emotion first, let logic clean up the rest. Frame 4: The Pins — Prospects, Objections, and Physics Pins obey physics. They aren't out to get you. Prospects are the same. Some fall quickly. Some require finesse. Some need a second shot. This is where many sellers unravel emotionally. They take objections personally. They turn one “no” into a story about themselves. Objections aren't judgment. They're feedback. “We're happy with our current vendor.” “Call me next quarter.” Objections are indicators, and tell you where your angle is off. Pros adjust. Ask a different question. Reframe the problem. Bring a story that hits harder. Then take another shot. The frame isn't over until you quit. Frame 5: The Shoes — Mindset and Emotional Control No one bowls in street shoes. You'll slip, lose balance, and go down hard. Your mindset is your pair of bowling shoes. Without emotional control, every call feels unstable. Every objection knocks you off center. Every tough moment spirals. Pros prepare their mind before they prepare their day. They visualize tough conversations. They decide how they'll respond to setbacks before they happen. They choose composure over reaction. A confident mind produces a confident delivery. Buyers feel both. Frame 6: The Equipment — Tech as an Amplifier, Not a Crutch Pros carry multiple balls, tape, tools—gear that helps them adjust and stay consistent. None of it bowls for them. Sales is full of tools too: CRMs, AI, sequencing engines, dialers. But tools only multiply effort. They never replace it. Weak sellers hide behind technology. Pros use it to increase conversations and stay organized. Tools help you understand the “oil pattern” of your territory. But at the end of the day, it's still you, a buyer, and a conversation. No technology closes deals for you. Frame 7: The Team — Culture and Accountability Bowling looks individual, but leagues win seasons. Behind every high average is a team pushing each other, challenging complacency, and celebrating progress. Sales is the same. Great cultures are built around coaching, accountability, and emotional safety. Teams share insights, review calls, and collaborate on tough deals. When someone hits a strike, everyone feels the lift. When someone struggles, the team rallies. You're competing, but you're not competing against each other. You're competing against your potential. Frame 8: The Scoreboard — Metrics and Truth The scoreboard doesn't lie. It doesn't care how busy you felt. It only reflects execution. Your sales scoreboard measures the same: dials, conversations, opportunities created, conversion rates. These numbers are feedback tools. High performers study them. They adjust mechanics, behavior, and cadence based on the data. You can't manage what you don't measure. Frame 9: The Follow-Through — Closing with Composure A bowler's follow-through is controlled and deliberate. The ball is gone, but the motion stays disciplined. Closing requires the same composure. Many sellers execute well early in the cycle. Then, at the moment of truth, they flinch. They rush. They soften.  Pros stay steady. They recap value clearly. They ask directly and confidently. They handle final concerns without panic. Closing is the natural output of a disciplined process. Frame 10: The Final Frame — Finishing Strong with Follow-Up The tenth frame separates casual bowlers from champions. Tired, under pressure, and out of margin for error, pros sharpen their focus. In sales, the tenth frame is follow-up. It's the week after the demo. The stalled proposal. The buyer who goes quiet. Most sellers mentally check out and tell themselves the wrong story: “If they wanted it, they'd call me.” Pros don't buy that lie. Deals are won in the follow-up—professional, relevant, value-driven persistence. That's where reliability is proven. The Game That Never Ends Sales doesn't have a perfect 300 game every time. Some days everything strikes clean. Some days you grind for spares. Some days the ball finds the gutter no matter how good your form feels. The separator is what you do next. Pros study the lane. They adjust their feet. They breathe. They get back on the approach and commit to the next shot with the same intensity as the first. So as you head into your day, think like a bowler playing the long game. Lace up your mindset. Respect your process. Choose your message with intention. Read your buyers the way pros read the lanes. Lean on your team. Track your scoreboard. And never cheat the follow-through. The pins are set. The lane is open. You've always got one more frame. Step up with purpose. Roll with confidence. And when in doubt, make one more call. Ready to take your sales game to the next frame? Build discipline, track your process, and crush your goals with the FREE Sales Gravy Goal Guide.

How do you handle holiday triggers without alcohol when every gathering feels like a test? The clinking glasses, "just one won't hurt" comments, and family dynamics can overwhelm anyone navigating an alcohol-free holiday season. Coach Zoe has a game-changing perspective: triggers aren't your enemy—they're messengers pointing to what you actually need. In this powerful Joy Edit episode, you'll discover the brain science behind holiday triggers and learn Annie Grace's visualization technique for preparing your nervous system before challenging situations.

Coach Zoe breaks down the most common holiday triggers—from party pressure to family flashbacks—and reveals the unmet needs hiding beneath each one. You'll learn why willpower crashes, but awareness builds lasting change, how to make "tonight commitments" instead of overwhelming forever promises, and simple regulation techniques like HALT checks (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and anchor gestures. Transform your holiday one breath at a time, and create the life you don't want to escape. Coach Zoe is sharing: How to handle holiday triggers without alcohol by treating them as information, not evidence that you're failing Why “curiosity goggles” can shift you from reactive to responsive at parties and family events The difference between willpower and awareness, and why collecting evidence you can trust yourself matters How visualization, “tonight I choose…” commitments, and experimentation reduce pressure and increase freedom A science-backed look at stress, alcohol's brain chemistry, and mindful ways to soothe your nervous system The ACT tool (Awareness, Clarity, Turnaround) and how to build a personalized holiday trigger map Practicing response instead of reaction so your wise inner adult—not old patterns—leads the way How these grace-first tools help you stay present, protect your peace, and more topics… Episode links: nakedmindpath.com Related Episodes: Cravings & Triggers: What Exactly Are They And How Do You Deal With Them? - Reader Question - E36 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-36-reader-question-cravings-triggers-what-exactly-are-they-and-how-do-you-deal-with-them/ Effective Strategies for Setting Boundaries with Family - Reader Question - E622 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-620-readers-question-effective-strategies-for-setting-boundaries-with-family/ Getting Past Emotional Drinking Triggers - Reader Question - E616 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-616-readers-question-getting-past-emotional-drinking-triggers/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?  Visit https://learn.thisnakedmind.com/podcast-resources for free resources, programs, and more.

High performers often hit burnout when metrics—not meaning—start defining success. In this episode, discover why constant measurement creates pressure, how to release the scoreboard, and how identity-driven work restores clarity, peace, and sustainable momentum.High performers rarely realize when metrics begin to run their emotional world. The dashboards, numbers, KPIs, and progress charts become the scoreboard of worth—leading to decision fatigue, performance pressure, and a quiet sense of spiritual and emotional depletion.In this episode, Julie uncovers why measurement becomes a master, how identity drifts beneath constant evaluation, and why releasing metrics restores meaning, clarity, and peace. Through the lens of Self-Determination Theory, burnout recovery, role confusion, and success fatigue, she reveals how humans thrive through autonomy, alignment, and inner congruence—not external measurement.You'll also revisit Sara Blakely's story through a new angle: her early success didn't come from dashboards or performance metrics, but from intuition, aligned risk, and meaning-driven decisions. Her story illustrates a truth every high-capacity human needs to remember: metrics can guide you, but they were never meant to govern you.This episode embodies the heart of The Recalibration — Julie's proprietary, psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that realigns identity at the root. ILR isn't another performance tool; it's the recalibration that makes every other tool effective again.In this episode, you'll explore: • why metrics become emotional anchors for high performers • how measurement disconnects you from identity and meaning • the psychological pattern behind “scoreboard living” • what autonomy and alignment do for your nervous system • why releasing metrics actually improves outcomes • how to reconnect with meaning instead of measurementToday's Micro Recalibration Where have the numbers become your master? Today, release the scoreboard and return to the meaning beneath the motion.

We break down a simple, professional system to turn nutrition guidance into a paid, high-value service that actually drives results. From pricing to scope to weekly workflows, you'll hear exactly how to charge with confidence and deliver coaching that clients respect.We start by challenging the “we've always done it this way” mindset that keeps trainers stuck. Then we map a clean offer: $250–$500 per month for structured nutrition coaching that lives outside workouts, with weekly or biweekly check-ins, photo logging, menu reviews, and clear goals. You'll get the sales script we use after assessments, language to handle “my last coach included it,” and a 30-day measurement challenge that builds awareness fast without trapping clients in lifelong tracking.The heart of the system is partnership and scope. Instead of being a jack of all trades, bring a registered dietitian onto your team. RDs handle medical nutrition therapy and complex cases; you lead behavior change, accountability, and education. We cover TDEE basics, protein targets, and the real blockers—environment, stress, sleep, and social pressure—so your clients can navigate date nights and office snacks without derailing progress. You'll also learn how to host small RD Q&As, set clinic-style expectations, and separate services the way dentists and physical therapists do, so clients understand what they're buying and why it works.If you're ready to build a business that delivers better outcomes and adds $1,000 to $5,000 per month without adding more training hours, this playbook shows you how.

Rachel walks you through exactly why a podcast becomes your marketing machine—and why your voice is your biggest business asset this year. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Why Social Media Isn't Enough in 2026 Social platforms are noisy, saturated, and unpredictable. Attention spans are shrinking and algorithms shift constantly. Meanwhile, your audience is craving connection, reliability, and trust. As Amy Porterfield says, we're in a trust recession—and podcasts rebuild that trust. 2.

Podcasting is intimate, bingeable, and evergreen. 3. Why a Podcast Works for You (Even When You're Offline) Record once. Repurpose everywhere. 4. Consistent Visibility Without Algorithm Stress Listeners subscribe → you show up automatically. No reach battles. No guessing games. Just steady visibility and trust building. 5.

Tired of shouting into the void with a book you believe in? We unpack a simple, proven path to clarity that makes every marketing move easier and cheaper: find your shelf, define your reader, and deliver the payoff your genre promises. Penny Sansevieri and Amy Cornell pull back the curtain on what actually drives sales velocity for authors—clear positioning, focused targeting, and small, high-impact pivots that align your book with how readers shop.We start by grounding your work with “shelf neighbors,” those three to five titles your ideal readers already love. From there, we build a one-sentence reader statement that communicates value at a glance and respects genre expectations. You'll hear how a smart subgenre pivot turned a stalled romance into a winner, why “my book is for everyone” is the most expensive mistake in publishing, and how to turn your unique elements into crisp marketing hooks that get clicks, not shrugs.For nonfiction writers, we dig into articulating outcome-driven benefits that media and influencers can immediately pass on to their audiences. For fiction authors, we show how to pair familiarity with freshness—a recognizable promise with a distinct twist—using comps that do the heavy lifting on retail pages, ads, and pitches. Throughout, we emphasize that marketing can sharpen and amplify, but it can't invent a market where none exists. That's liberating: focus on fit first, then flourish with confident messaging, right-sized keywords, and cover cues that signal the right story to the right people.Ready to stop guessing and start gaining traction? Listen now, craft your one-sentence reader statement, and text us your top targeting question.

Tired of hearing "let me think about it" after every proposal? In this episode, I break down why most tech consultants are stuck grinding on $3K projects while plumbers are one of the highest paid trades. I share the story of David, a CRM consultant who was targeting the right companies but solving the wrong problem, and how one shift took him from $5K projects to his first $250K contract in six months. If you've been told you need better marketing, better positioning, or a tighter niche but nothing's moving the needle, the real issue might be simpler than you think.Resources and LinksApply for a Multiplier CallPrevious episode: 652 - Building a Top 3% HubSpot Partner Through Vertical Focus and Culture-First Leadership with Gemma PriceCheck out more episodes of the Paul Higgins PodcastSubscribe to our YouTube channel: @PaulHigginsMentoringJoin our newsletterSuggested resources

#309 Product Positioning | This episode is from a Drive 2025 (our annual Exit Five event) session with April Dunford (Founder, Ambient Strategy). April pulls from working with 300+ tech companies to unpack the real patterns behind winning positioning from calling out competitors' nonsense to teaching buyers what actually matters, avoiding category-creation traps, and fixing the sales messes that weak positioning creates. It's sharp, funny, brutally honest, and basically a crash course in how to make your product unmistakably different in a market full of noise.PS.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Gratitude is talked about a lot, but for us with ADHD brains it isn't just a feel-good idea. It is a physiological strategy that changes how the brain functions.In this episode, Tracy breaks down why gratitude is not optional for ADHD. It starts with dopamine. ADHD brains rely on positive emotion to initiate action, sustain focus, and regulate emotion. Gratitude spikes dopamine, boosts serotonin, improves sleep, and builds the emotional foundation that makes everything else feel more doable. Tracy explains how this loop works and why even trying to think of something to be grateful for is enough to start shifting your brain chemistry.She also shares personal stories, including the impact of a daily gratitude practice, the “positive emotion dossier” she developed for A-OK, and the profound lessons she learned from a woman with ADHD living with metastatic cancer who embodied gratitude in the hardest circumstances. Tracy walks through the five levels of gratitude, the ADHD habit of scanning for what's wrong, and how gratitude helps interrupt the spiral.This episode is both practical and encouraging, giving listeners a clear understanding of how gratitude improves executive function, stabilizes mood, strengthens habits, and helps ADHD brains filter out noise. Tracy also explores how gratitude intersects with trauma and how emotional healing can lead to post-traumatic growth. If you've ever wondered why gratitude matters or how to build a practice that actually works for your brain, this episode offers tools you can use immediately.Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

Boredom used to be that thing you tried to avoid with a barstool and a bourbon. Now that you're sober(ish…or working on it), boredom hits different. It's quieter, sneakier, and honestly, kind of uncomfortable. In this week's episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane breaks down one of the biggest early sobriety traps straight from Chapter 4 of his new book Sober Guy, How Do I — how to handle boredom without losing your mind or your momentum. We'll talk about: Why boredom isn't actually the enemy, and what it's really trying to tell youHow alcohol used to be a “shortcut to stimulation,” and why your brain needs a little re-trainingWhy high performers, business owners, and dudes who've lived life in the red zone struggle with quiet time more than anyone. Practical strategies to turn boredom into clarity, purpose, and progress (yes, really) Shane keeps it authentic, honest, and slightly ridiculous, sharing stories from his own recovery journey plus some tools that have helped hundreds of men inside the Victory Circle community deal with downtime without sprinting toward the freezer for an IPA. If you've ever found yourself pacing around the kitchen muttering “I just need to DO something,” this one's for you. Actionable Takeaways ️ Do a 5-Minute Mental Check-In:Ask yourself: “Am I bored? Or am I avoiding something?” Write it down. Name it. Call the BS out loud. ️ Create a Boredom Menu:List 10 things you can do instead of drink when boredom hits — walk, push-ups, cold shower, call a dude in the community, read 3 pages of a book… whatever works. ️ Schedule Your Downtime:Don't wait for boredom to attack you — plan to be “unproductive” on purpose.

STOP THE SPIRAL — Training 2: The Let-Down Spiral Today we're tackling one of the biggest sources of resentment in motherhood: when the people you love let you down. Your partner forgets something, your child ignores a request, your in-law makes a comment—and suddenly you're spiraling. In this workshop, I'll show you why nagging doesn't work, why doing everything yourself makes things worse, and why neither option actually solves the problem. You'll learn the third way: keeping your standards high while lowering resentment and raising collaboration. We'll talk about the cultural trap of labeling everyone "toxic," the real reason you feel alone in your home, and how to step into the leadership your family needs—without becoming the angry parent or the exhausted martyr.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251203dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20 He’s Almost Here Have you ever waited at the airport for someone special? You scan the crowd. Your heart jumps every time someone comes around the corner. You can’t wait to see their face. You yearn to give them the warmest embrace. That’s the kind of eager longing captured in the final words of the Bible. Jesus declares, “Yes, I am coming soon.” The Church responds, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.” Advent is a season that focuses on this longing. We reflect on how Jesus first came in humility—born in a farming town, wrapped in rags, and laid in a feeding trough. He came not to be served, but to serve—to walk among us, to suffer with us, and to save us. We also look forward to his promised return. Whenever that is, he won’t come in weakness. He will come in power and glory to make all things new. The world desperately needs this renewal. We need this renewal. We’re tired of suffering. Tired of sin. Tired of bad news. While we yearn for the peace and justice only Jesus can bring, our weariness makes it easy to grow numb, distracted, or discouraged. That’s why we need this promise: “I am coming soon.” These words renew our hope and give us a clear focus. Yet, what does “soon” mean? From our perspective, it may not always seem fast, but it is certain. Jesus isn’t dragging his feet. He hasn’t forgotten us. He’s giving more people time to come to know him. His delay is not a sign of neglect, but of mercy. Rest assured, Jesus, our Savior, is coming. He is closer now than ever before, and he will not be late. While we wait, we live in hope. We listen to his Word, and we take it to heart—living in daily repentance for our sin and trust in God’s salvation. Prayer: Lord Jesus, you promised to return, and I believe you. Keep my heart ready, my hope alive, and my eyes lifted. Come quickly! Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!Tired of surface-level hot takes during Advent? We press pause on the news cycle and dive into Scripture's living architecture—how David, Solomon, Isaiah, and John converge to reveal a Kingdom that isn't just future hope but present reality. We walk through the liturgical calendar's wisdom, the shock of John's “hour,” and the way Cana's stone jars unlock Exodus, Numbers, and a new creation pattern. Along the way we confront a popular error: the idea that Christ hasn't yet established His Kingdom. If the Gospel announces “the Kingdom is at hand,” then the Church is not a holding pattern—it's the King's reign made visible in Word, sacrament, and a Eucharistic temple.We explore Marian typology without sentimentality: Jeremiah's hidden ark, the overshadowing glory cloud, and why reverence for Mary clarifies, rather than distracts from, the Incarnation. We trace the branch from Jesse through Nazareth, the bread of the presence through David to the Eucharist, and Nathaniel's fig tree across the prophets. Typology isn't trivia; it's how Scripture trains our eyes to see Christ fulfilling every promise. And because grace aims at real life, we talk about family prayer, small rituals that carry children through hard years, and the demanding joy of fatherhood as priestly leadership—authority as sacrifice, not dominance.If you've felt disoriented by church conflicts or exhausted by constant outrage, Advent offers a better way: return to the story, receive the King, and let the calendar shape your days. Come hear how heaven “colonizes” earth through the Church, why obedience grows from grace, and how the Kingdom breaks into ordinary homes through beauty, memory, and the sacraments.
