Podcasts about tools

Most people avoid the emotions and challenges that would change them. That's why they stay stuck. In this episode, I'm sharing the tools to become a badass - someone who creates extraordinary results by building mental toughness and emotional resilience. This isn't about positive thinking. It's about stepping into your power and knowing challenges will come with it. You'll learn to build emotional strength by processing, not avoiding feelings. You'll develop behavioral strength to keep moving forward when you mess up. And you'll see why impossible goals are the key to redefining your identity. Stop operating from weakness. Start operating from power. What You Will Discover: Why making the decision to be a badass requires telling people and committing publicly. How to build mental strength through repetition, exposure, and intense work periods. The three reasons setting impossible goals transforms your identity and results. Why anticipating worst-case scenarios and planning for them strengthens you before obstacles arrive. How emotional resilience means embracing fear, doubt, and insecurity rather than avoiding them. The difference between coddling (which weakens) and self-love (which strengthens). Why badasses are built on piles of failures, mistakes, and judgments.

What happens when a longtime outdoorsman encounters not one — but three — massive, humanoid figures in the fog-shrouded woods of Virginia's George Washington National Forest? In this gripping and eerie episode, we sit down with Daniel Benoit, founder of the East Coast Bigfoot Researchers Organization. Daniel recounts his unforgettable 2014 encounter deep in the Shenandoah Valley, where glowing yellow eyes, strange swaying motions, and a chilling sense of being watched confirmed decades of research and speculation. From sightings in the Blue Ridge Mountains to a mysterious roadside cover-up near Petersburg, VA, this episode dives into the strange and compelling world of East Coast Sasquatch activity.You'll hear about a towering 8-foot creature, the theory of a Sasquatch “Virginia Triangle,” and the moment Daniel realized — they weren't just passing through.A must-listen for serious Bigfoot believers, curious skeptics, and anyone who's ever felt the forest looking back.Resources:http://www.ecbrofounder.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@Bigfootzone_ECBRO

There are calls for the federal government to criminalise the possession and use of Artificial Intelligence tools designed to create child abuse material. Child safety advocates say Australia should set a global benchmark for ethical AI and child protection.

In this week's episode we're answering one of YOUR questions with a combination of expert tips and personal experience.  The Question: “Hi there! Been a looooong time listener of the pod and have a question/need for advice. My fiancé and I have been together for almost 4 years, we're in a super healthy relationship, and I feel very happy with him. The last few months or so, our sex life has been a little less than normal and less than what I hoped for. We still have satisfying sex, but not as frequently, and it's pretty formulaic—we go to what we know works. I feel like I'm initiating more (probably 80% me, 20% him), and because of that, I get told no more, which never feels good. I've been wanting to get out of this lull to make our sex life fantastic again. Then a few days ago, I woke up and saw him looking at sexual reels of Instagram models, saving and screenshotting them. He didn't know I could see his screen, and I haven't said anything. We both watch porn and have talked about boundaries—this doesn't cross any, but I still feel so bad/jealous/insecure. I think it's because when we talk about porn abstractly, it's easier to process, but actually seeing it hurt my feelings. My brain keeps telling me the story that he has sexual feelings about these women that he doesn't seem to have about me, and I hate that thought. I'm upset with him, which isn't fair because he didn't break my trust, but it really sucked to see. I'm feeling like I don't want to be affectionate right now. I wish I could be more evolved about this, and I'd love your perspective/advice on how to move past this and not be so hurt by something very normal.” What We Cover in This Episode: How to get out of a sex lull. Whether things have gotten routine or you're not having sex as often as you'd like, we share ways to shift the energy and reignite desire. Rethinking what it means to initiate sex. Initiation doesn't always have to be physical or as blunt as "want to have sex?" We walk through ways to initiate that feel natural, playful, and pressure-free. How to figure out what your partner needs (without guessing). Questions to ask, things to notice, and ways to open up honest convo about how he experiences intimacy and desire. Tools to navigate rejection without resentment. We share strategies to help both partners handle “not tonight” moments with care, like setting expectations, creating opt-in moments, and building connection even when sex isn't on the table. When he's looking at Instagram models...what does it mean and what should you do? We unpack the feelings that come up when your partner engages with sexual content online, how to rework boundaries around it, and what to say if it hurts, even if it technically doesn't “break a rule.” Specific phrases to help you start and steer the conversation. We give you language you can borrow or tweak, including a mini role-play of how we'd personally approach this chat. Tools to spice things up and try something new. From foreplay ideas to spicy games, we suggest ways to add novelty, connection, and fun back into your routine. A big heaping dose of validation, because this is hard. If you're the one initiating most of the time, feeling rejected, or wondering if it's even okay to bring this up, you're not alone, and you're not asking for too much. ⁠Subscribe to our Patreon for downloadables, extended episodes, video episodes + more!⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

A step-by-step breakdown of how your body heals after alcohol, from your liver to your heart to your gut. I know the fear you feel when you quit drinking and suddenly start paying attention to every little twinge in your body. You wonder: Did I mess up my liver for good? Is this brain fog normal? What if I've already done permanent damage? And if you're anything like most people in recovery, you might have spent years avoiding the doctor, hiding your drinking, and ignoring the warning signs. That means your health anxiety isn't just physical — it's deeply emotional. You're carrying around shame, guilt, and fear, wondering if your past choices have caught up with you. But here's the truth: your body is incredibly resilient. And healing is happening — even if you can't feel it yet. In this episode of the Addiction Unlimited Podcast, I'm walking you through what's really going on inside your body after you stop drinking. We'll look at how alcohol impacts your liver, brain, heart, and gut — and what recovery looks like from the inside out. You'll also learn how to spot the difference between real health issues and the fear-based spirals that come from anxiety. I'll give you simple, actionable tools to calm your nervous system, trust your body again, and stop Googling symptoms at 2 a.m. Because your recovery deserves more than panic and guesswork — it deserves clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. In this episode, I share: 5:45 — What “health anxiety in sobriety” is and why it hits so hard 10:12 — How your liver, brain, and heart really respond when you stop drinking 14:18 — Why your gut is your “second brain” and how food affects your healing 20:33 — What's normal (and not) when it comes to stomach issues and recovery 24:10 — Tools to manage fear without spiraling into Google 28:05 — How to stop letting fear run the show and build real coping skills 30:50 — Why you're not broken — your body is healing If you've been living in a constant state of “What if it's too late?” this episode is going to give you hope, knowledge, and peace of mind.

Originally published on 5/10/24 as Episode 428.What happens when a seasoned outdoorsman takes his son deep into the forests of Eastern Oregon — and something begins screaming in the darkness? In this spine-tingling episode of Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah Byron sits down with Dee, a listener from Wallowa County, who shares not one but two chilling encounters with Sasquatch. First, a late-night hunting trip in 1997 turns terrifying when screams echo through the canyons and a towering figure parts the trees. Then, ten years later, strange footsteps circle Dee's tent — followed by a giant finger pressing into the nylon under moonlight. With eerie details like massive handprints, silent forests, and a scream that sent shivers down their spines, Dee's story is one you won't forget. You'll also hear how his son — once scared into silence — grew up to become a fearless bushcrafter on a mission of his own. This is more than just a Bigfoot sighting. It's a legacy passed between generations — and a mystery that still lingers in the shadows of Oregon's wildest forests.

Showing up as your full self isn't always easy — in fact, it can feel downright terrifying. In this episode, Jamie Kienholz dives into what it truly means to be seen. She explores the fears we all carry around judgment and rejection, how hiding disconnects us from ourselves and others, and how authenticity — even just 5% more — can transform your life and business.Jamie shares practical, gentle tools to help you step into visibility with compassion and courage.

My guest this week is negotiation futurist, bestselling author, and top-ranked negotiation expert Tim Castle. Tim is the founder of Negotiators Edge Training Academy and author of “The Art of Negotiation” and “The Momentum Sales Model.”  Tim shares his most effective approaches to high-stakes negotiation, focusing on value creation, building trust, and leveraging the Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA). He also reveals his favorite negotiation tactics, including creating urgency, holding firm with clarity, and operating from a mindset of abundance (not needing the deal). We also discuss the critical role of planning, how AI tools can supercharge your preparation, and why emotional intelligence is every modern negotiator's secret weapon. Outline of This Episode [04:11] Understand BATNA to leverage deals by controlling emotions and fostering collaboration without appearing manipulative. [07:08] Be creative and clear in negotiation; hold firm on your value to persuade and influence effectively. [11:49] Use AI to research and prepare by understanding counterparts' backstories, challenges, and market trends. [14:48] Crystal is an AI tool that analyzes LinkedIn profiles to predict communication styles and offers tips for effective interaction. [17:58] Consistent integrity and champion-led negotiation empower internal advocates to overcome organizational hurdles and drive deals forward. [20:34] Guide clients through open questions to uncover pain points collaboratively, ensuring they buy into the process and solutions. [28:30] Value-based positioning and champion-led negotiation ensure long-term collaboration and significant value creation. [30:14] Strategy gets you in; tactics let you own the situation. Maintain a winning mindset to achieve the best outcomes. The Missing Link in Sales Success Strategies are the big-picture, macro gameplans: they define your end-goal, set your direction, and inform every subsequent decision. As Tim puts it, “Strategy is where you want to go, your desired outcome.” Maybe it's nurturing a long-term partnership, building a multi-phase offering, or expanding the pie in an integrative negotiation. Tactics, on the other hand, are your in-the-moment moves. They're the practical tools—like anchoring price, mirroring, labeling, or using the “give-get” concession model—that support your strategy and help you adapt as the conversation unfolds. The magic, Tim explains, happens when you intentionally align your tactics with your overarching strategy, rather than just reacting or trying to “win” the moment. The Heart of Effective Negotiation At the core of Tim's approach is the idea that negotiation isn't about extraction—it's about value creation. The whole goal of negotiation is about value creation, he emphasizes. Instead of distributive “win-lose” thinking, Tim advocates for integrative negotiation, which seeks to expand the pie and foster collaboration for mutual gain. Knowing your BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement) is essential here. When you're clear on your alternatives, you can negotiate free from neediness and emotional intensity, giving you the space to truly listen, build trust, and co-create solutions with your counterpart. Trust-building is Tim's “single biggest competitive advantage” in an AI-driven world. Even as automation and scripts proliferate, genuine human connection and credibility remain irreplaceable. Tim's Favorite Tactics Tim shared his top tactics, each rooted in psychology and practical experience: Creating Urgency: By making your offer time-sensitive, you amplify its perceived value, countering commoditization and focusing the buyer's attention. Not Needing the Deal: When you approach negotiations from a place of abundance (thanks to a healthy sales funnel), you have the flexibility to be creative, collaborative, and less reactive, leading to better deals and relationships. Clarity and Holding Firm: Clearly communicating your value and holding firm helps set boundaries, project confidence, and persuade the buyer of your worth. Vision of the Future (Bonus): Focus on positive, long-term outcomes to keep the conversation optimistic and to reduce emotional tension. The Power of AI and Human EQ Preparation is a non-negotiable for high-stakes deals. Tim recommends leveraging AI to research your counterpart's background, understand market forces, and tailor your approach. Tools like DISC profiling—and platforms like Crystal Knows—can help you anticipate behavioral styles and communicate more effectively. Tim also emphasizes role-playing and exposure therapy as ways to build comfort and resilience when stakes (and emotions) run high. Ultimately, fusing AI with emotional intelligence (EQ) is a winning combination for modern negotiators.

In this powerful episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with my good friend Christy Forsyth—a licensed mental health counselor, certified clinical hypnotherapist, intuitive, and life coach—for a raw and transformative conversation about healing, energy, and spiritual growth. Christy takes us through her incredible evolution from a traditional therapist working in mental health clinics to becoming the founder of Soul Therapy, a dynamic approach that fuses clinical psychology with spirituality, energy work, and intuitive guidance. Her journey is one of courage, authenticity, and divine alignment—proving that you don't have to choose between science and spirit. You can integrate both. We explore her early experiences with intuitive gifts, how she used to suppress them in fear of being misunderstood, and how embracing those gifts allowed her to help clients on a deeper level. Christy shares the story of her spiritual awakening, what it looked like to break free from the limitations of traditional therapy, and how she now supports people in stepping into alignment, raising their vibration, and creating a life of purpose. If you're someone who's felt the call to connect deeper with your intuition, explore energy healing, or find a path that combines mental wellness with spiritual truth, this episode is for you.

In this episode we explore the activated nervous system state—better known as fight-or-flight. If you've ever felt anxious, tightly wound, or like your body just can't stop, this one's for you. We explore why your system gets stuck in this high-alert state and, most importantly, provide a practical toolkit to help you work with your nervous system, not against it. Learn why "just calm down" doesn't work and what to do instead to find real regulation.*This episode serves as Part 2 in our "Different States Series"In this episode, you'll learn:What activation actually is and how it shows up in the bodyThe difference between fight and flight energyWhy your system gets stuck in this stateWhat anxiety is trying to tell you through a parts work lensThe most effective in-the-moment tools to help discharge activationWhat doesn't work (and why forcing calm can backfire)The deeper work required to shift out of chronic activation for good3 Takeaways:Your anxiety isn't random.  It's your body saying: “Something doesn't feel safe.” Instead of asking "How do I stop this?" ask "What is my body trying to tell me?"Different states need different support. An activated body needs to move and discharge energy. Trying to force stillness often backfires. The goal isn't to just calm down; it's to help your body complete the stress response.Reactive tools are scaffolding for deeper work. In-the-moment tools are crucial for managing activation, but the long-term goal is to create a life your nervous system doesn't feel the need to constantly escape from by addressing the root causes.Categories of Tools for Activation mentioned in this episode:Movement – march in place, shake out your limbs, push against a wall, stomp, dance, go for a walkBreath (but not deep breathing) – try a physiological sigh (two inhales, one slow exhale), or blow air like you're cooling soupVision resets – slowly scan your environment, do lateral eye movements, shift focus from near to farSensory grounding – cold water, textured objects, strong scents like peppermint or citrusPatterned action – folding laundry, swaying, rocking, tapping rhythmsVoice and sound – humming, shushing, singing, or whispering soothing phrases like “I'm okay, I'm not in danger, I'm safe enough right now.”Parts Work: bring in the parts work perspectiveThe goal of these tools isn't to shut down the activation—it is to help complete it. They use up the energy your body has mobilized. And they begin to signal: “We're okay now.”—Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE discovery call for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program (HSA/FSA eligible & includes comprehensive bloodwork)Join me inside Regulated Living, a mental health membership and nervous system healing space (sliding scale pricing available)Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?

Summary This episode is an interview that was featured in the HER Power Summit with Kasia Bradford. I wanted to share it here too! In this episode, Ali Damron shares the often-overlooked connection between postpartum depletion, perimenopause, and nervous system dysregulation—and how these transitions silently shape women's mental, emotional, and physical health.

You'll learn the truth about estrogen dominance, why your energy might tank even when you sleep well, how chronic stress hijacks your hormones, and the low-lift steps to start regulating your nervous system—without adding to your to-do list.

What if the aches in your body aren't entirely yours? The shoulder pain, the gut tension, or the sense of incompletion might not just be physical. It could be the echo of a secret held for decades, maybe even generations? Because here's the thing: families hold secrets, but those secrets have a way of leaking out or leaving breadcrumbs. And if you're connected to your intuition, you can sense that there's something that's not being said. Most of us were taught to look forward, to toughen up, to leave the past behind. But what if that very suppression is why we can't move forward? What if freedom lives not in forgetting, but in remembering? In this episode, we're joined by spiritual strategist, energy healer, and psychic medium, Christina Trifero. We unpack the heavy cost of secrecy and the methods we can use to bring the unknown and unspoken out into the open. We also discuss how to be a healer without hero-ing yourself or compromising your own essence.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Secrets live in the body Could physical pain or chronic tension be carrying an emotional secret? How does naming what was once unspeakable change your relationship with your body? -Intuition vs. inheritance What's the difference between your soul's knowing and your family's emotional programming? How can you tell what's truly you and what's been passed down? -How not to be a vessel for other people's pain If you're deeply empathetic or energetically sensitive, how do you hold others without absorbing their suffering?   Guest Bio Christina Trifero is a Spiritual Strategist, energy healer, and psychic medium.

A recent study supported by Apple reveals that a new artificial intelligence model, known as the wearable behavior model, can flag health conditions with an impressive accuracy of 92%. This model, trained on over 2.5 billion hours of data from wearable devices, outperforms traditional health prediction methods that rely solely on basic biometric measurements. Researchers found that behavioral data, such as movement and sleep patterns, often provide stronger health signals than conventional metrics. The model has shown superior performance in dynamic health prediction tasks, including detecting pregnancy and assessing sleep quality.In the realm of education, non-profits are leveraging AI to address global inequities. Education Above All, a non-profit organization based in Qatar, has partnered with prestigious institutions like MIT and Harvard to create DigiWise, a free program aimed at improving AI literacy in developing countries. This initiative allows children to combat misinformation and utilize AI tools in the classroom. Their generative AI chatbot, Furby, is currently being used by over 5 million children in India, providing access to project-based learning resources.However, not all news is positive. A study from the AI benchmarking non-profit, METER, indicates that AI coding tools may actually hinder productivity for experienced developers, increasing task completion time by 19%. Developers had expected these tools to save time, but the reality was a slowdown due to factors such as unrealistic expectations, unfamiliarity with repositories, and the complexity of codebases. This highlights a significant gap between the anticipated benefits of AI tools and their actual performance in real-world scenarios.Additionally, a report from Cloud Zero reveals that while 91% of companies believe their AI investments are yielding returns, only half can substantiate this with concrete data. AI budgets are projected to increase significantly, yet many organizations struggle with visibility into their AI costs and return on investment. This situation underscores the need for effective cost tracking and governance in AI investments, as many companies risk overspending without clear evidence of ROI. The podcast emphasizes the importance of focusing on AI financial governance to help clients navigate these challenges and ensure sustainable growth in the sector. Three things to know today 00:00 Wearable AI Achieves 92% Accuracy While Coding Tools Slow Developers by 19%, Reports Find07:08 Model Wars Heat Up: Open Source Kimi K2 Outperforms GPT-4 While Corporates Cut Chatbot Spend11:53 MSP Workflow Wars: New Integrations Highlight Critical Role of Orchestration in IT Services This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship ThreatDown Webinar:  https://bit.ly/threatdown All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Narratives help shape our society, culture and environment, entrenching beliefs that can help — or harm — our planet and human rights. Tsering Yangzom Lama, story manager at Greenpeace International, joins Mongabay's podcast to explain how dominant narratives — stories shaped by existing power structures and institutions — often undergird destructive industries and favor the powerful and the wealthy, and to discuss what people can do to counter such narratives. In this interview, she expands upon thoughts shared in the essay “How to Reject Dominant Narratives,” from the new book Tools to Save Our Home Planet, published by Patagonia Books. "A dominant narrative in reality would be anything that supports the status quo … what we have right now is a system in which we're trashing the world in which a small minority is profiting off of that destruction, and in which the vast majority of humanity does not have the basic necessities for a dignified human existence," she says.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a popular question: What Happens When Software Fails? Originally titled When Coffee Hits the Fan: Developer Disaster Recovery, this AI-enhanced breakdown explores real-world developer mistakes, recovery strategies, and the tools that help turn chaos into control. Whether you're managing your first deployment or juggling enterprise infrastructure, you'll leave this episode better equipped for the moment when software fails. When Software Fails and Everything Goes Down The podcast kicks off with a dramatic (but realistic) scenario: CI passes, coffee is in hand, and then production crashes. While that might sound extreme, it's a situation many developers recognize. Rob and Michael cover some familiar culprits: Dropping a production database Misconfigured cloud infrastructure costing hundreds overnight Accidentally publishing secret keys Over-provisioned “default” environments meant for enterprise use Takeaway: Software will fail. Being prepared is the difference between a disaster and a quick fix. Why Software Fails: Avoiding Costly Dev Mistakes Michael shares an all-too-common situation: connecting to the wrong environment and running production-breaking SQL. The issue wasn't the code—it was the context. Here are some best practices to avoid accidental failure: Color-code terminal environments (green for dev, red for prod) Disable auto-commit in production databases Always preview changes with a SELECT before running DELETE or UPDATE Back up databases or individual tables before making changes These simple habits can save hours—or days—of cleanup. How to Recover When Software Fails Rob and Michael outline a reliable recovery framework that works in any team or tech stack: Monitoring and alerts: Tools like Datadog, Prometheus, and Sentry help detect issues early Rollback plans: Scripts, snapshots, and container rebuilds should be ready to go Runbooks: Documented recovery steps prevent chaos during outages Postmortems: Blameless reviews help teams learn and improve Clear communication: Everyone on the team should know who's doing what during a crisis Pro Tip: Practice disaster scenarios ahead of time. Simulations help ensure you're truly ready. Essential Tools for Recovery Tools can make or break your ability to respond quickly when software fails. Rob and Michael recommend: Docker & Docker Compose for replicable environments Terraform & Ansible for consistent infrastructure GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins for automated testing and deployment Chaos Engineering tools like Gremlin and Chaos Monkey Snapshot and backup automation to enable fast data restoration Michael emphasizes: containers are the fastest way to spin up clean environments, test recovery steps, and isolate issues safely. Mindset Matters: Staying Calm When Software Fails Technical preparation is critical—but so is mindset. Rob notes that no one makes smart decisions in panic mode. Having a calm, repeatable process in place reduces pressure when systems go down. Cultural and team-based practices: Use blameless postmortems to normalize failure Avoid root access in production whenever possible Share mistakes in standups so others can learn Make local environments mirror production using containers Reminder: Recovery is a skill—one you should build just like any feature. Think you're ready for a failure scenario? Prove it. This week, simulate a software failure in your development environment: Turn off a service your app depends on Delete (then restore) a local database from backup Use Docker to rebuild your environment from scratch Trigger a mock alert in your monitoring tool Then answer these questions: How fast can you recover? What broke that you didn't expect? What would you do differently in production? Recovery isn't just theory—it's a skill you build through practice. Start now, while the stakes are low. Final Thought Software fails. That's a reality of modern development. But with the right tools, smart workflows, and a calm, prepared team, you can recover quickly—and even improve your system in the process. Learn from failure. Build with resilience. And next time something breaks, you'll know exactly what to do. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.
