Silence is not weakness, it's a form of dominance because it removes the reference points people rely on. When I stay quiet, I control the pace and the frame of the interaction without needing to say much. Most people talk to fill space and manage tension, but silence holds back feedback and keeps others guessing. In this episode, I explain why silence makes people uncomfortable and why that discomfort gives you power. Used on purpose, silence becomes a strong signal without saying a single word. Show Notes: [04:02]#1 Silence removes emotional hand holding. [13:15]#2 Silence signals that you have choices. [17:14]#3  Silence forces the truth to emerge.

Send a textHave you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “Why did I do that… again?”You care. You love them. You want it to work. And yet when things get intense, you shut down, go quiet, and disappear emotionally.In this episode of Love Shack Live, we unpack what avoidance really is (hint: it's not a character flaw) and why shutting down is often a nervous system protection strategy that once worked really well… but now costs you connection.You'll learn what's happening inside the avoidant partner, why the anxious partner panics when the conversation goes silent, and how this dynamic can trap both people in a loop of pressure, withdrawal, and resentment.Most importantly, we'll show you a different path: building emotional safety and emotional capacity in small, practical steps so you can come back to the table without spiraling or disappearing.Because shutting down isn't who you are. It's what you learned.And you can learn something new.In This Episode, We CoverWhy emotional withdrawal is one of the strongest predictors of relationship breakdownThe real reason avoidance happens (and why it can feel like danger in the body)What anxious partners often do in response, and why it accidentally makes things worseHow both partners end up in “shutdown” in different waysThe shift from courtroom energy (punishment + certainty) to classroom energy (curiosity + skill-building)What emotional safety actually is (and why it's not the same as comfort)A simple “start here” practice: rebuilding safety in 5-minute roundsA quick emotional temperature check (1–10) to know when you're resourced enough to talkHow to get support if you're stuck in the avoidant/anxious loopTimestamps: 03:08 Debunking the ‘They Don't Care' Story: Everyone Can Be Avoidant04:13 What Shutdown Feels Like in the Body (A Real-Life Example)07:42 Pressure Makes It Worse: The Partner's Panic & the Stories We Make Up08:40 Anxious vs. Avoidant: Opposite Coping Styles Collide09:48 The CPR Metaphor: Why Reassurance Can Feel Suffocating11:55 Shame, Self-Judgment, and the Spiral on Both Sides21:52 The Real Goal: Regulate First, Then Come Back to the Table25:54 ‘Understand Me First': How Conversations Turn Into Fights27:55 Be the First to Listen: How One Person Can De‑escalate the Fight28:56 Understanding Isn't Contagious: Compassion for Anxious vs. Avoidant Dynamics30:57 Stop Making Up Stories: Get the ‘Intel' From the Person, Not Your Head33:12 The Consensus Trap: Why Friends & Social Media Can't Explain Your Partner35:45 “They Don't Deserve It” vs. “You Do”: Regulate for Your Own Sake38:18 Courtroom vs. Classroom: Trade Punishment for Curiosity (and the Lightbulb Moment)41:32 Emotional Safety 101: It's Uncomfortable, Triggering, and Still Necessary42:28 The Safety ‘Cheat Sheet': Slow, Skillful Back‑and‑Forth (5 Minutes at a Time)50:09 Wrap-Up + Get Support: Key Takeaways, Next Episode, and Clarity Call52:05 Emotional Capacity ‘Temperature Check' + Closing Rituals

This year, I'm taking a few things off the table when it comes to my running.First: I'm done calling runs “bad.”Hard? Sure. Uncomfortable? Absolutely.But “bad” doesn't actually tell us anything useful—and it usually creates more noise than clarity.Second: I'm not overreacting to one data point.One tough run. One off week. One moment of doubt.None of those define your training—or your potential.In this episode, I talk about why these two decisions matter, how they've changed the way I approach training, and why perspective—not perfection—is what actually carries you through long seasons and long races.If you've ever questioned your fitness because of one run… this one's for you.⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP

What if the difference between stalled growth and market leadership is one bold email, one honest reframe, or one great hire you think you can't afford? We sit down with Richard Conway, Founder and Managing Director of Pure SEO, to unpack how an introvert with $200 built one of New Zealand's most recognized digital marketing groups by betting on systems, A-players, and asymmetric opportunities.We trace the path from bartering for a logo to landing enterprise leads by upgrading brand signals online, then dig into the inflection point where ten people exposed the limits of hustle. Richard explains how bringing in an operations specialist, building internal software, and opening a Manila office cut errors, scaled delivery, and freed him to sell and lead. He shares the mentors and investors who compressed his learning curve, plus the gut-check process he uses to make fast, reversible decisions without burning out on analysis.The conversation gets real about personal adversity—miscarriages, a cancer diagnosis, and a key resignation in the same week—and how trust and responsibility pulled him out of bed when comfort would not. We explore why focusing on strengths beats fixing weaknesses, how to avoid punishing top performers, and why paying for A-players ultimately lowers cost. Then we map the playbook for bold, unconventional moves: cold-calling Penguin Random House before a book existed, turning a week on Richard Branson's Necker Island into national press and six clients, and inviting industry leaders into his work with a generous ask.Along the way, you'll hear practical habits that keep a fast mind clear—Muay Thai, weekly thinking time, and broad reading—and simple ways to raise your kids' EQ by bringing them into the room. If you're ready to think like a CEO, this episode shows what it looks like: reframe setbacks, design systems, choose discomfort, and tell your story so opportunity can find you.

What God Calls Pure Christianity (And Why It's So Uncomfortable) What if much of what we call Christianity… God wouldn't call pure? In this powerful episode of The Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob explores the simple yet challenging definition of real faith found in James 1:27. When church culture, traditions, and labels are stripped away, Scripture reveals a clear picture of what God considers pure and faultless religion: Loving the vulnerable and living with a clean heart. Rob unpacks how early Christians transformed the world through radical compassion—serving the sick, the poor, and the forgotten—even at great personal cost. But James' message doesn't stop with outward action. True faith also requires guarding our inner life from the quiet spiritual pollution that can dull our devotion. This episode is a call to live with: Radical compassion toward those in need Personal purity in a culture that pulls us away from God Balanced faith that is both outwardly loving and inwardly clean Through personal stories, ministry reflections, and practical challenges, Rob invites you to examine: Who around you needs protection, encouragement, or help What habits or influences may be quietly polluting your heart How to live the kind of faith that God calls pure and faultless If you want a simple definition of a 10X Christian, this might be it: Love radically. Live purely. And that kind of faith doesn't just change you— it changes the world.

This Mindset Debrief episode is a short-form reflection on personal accountability, discipline, and self-leadership for people navigating pressure, responsibility, and growth. In this episode, we focus on: Avoiding discomfort can disguise as being practical, but it holds you backIf you keep telling yourself you're not afraid of discomfort, but you keep saying “now's not the right time” or “I've got to be smart about this,” this episode puts a spotlight on what's really getting avoided. It's usually not the work. It's the feeling that comes with the work: awkwardness, being exposed, looking unprepared, being wrong. You'll hear how avoiding uncomfortable feelings can feel like control in the moment, but it's a trade. Short-term emotional relief gets purchased with limited long-term improvement, and the cost shows up later. A line from Amy Morin frames it simply: avoidance offers immediate relief, but it can create long-term consequences. The episode breaks down how avoidance can shrink your world over time. You say no more often. Hesitation gets longer. What starts as “stability” turns into a quieter kind of stuck. It also draws a clean line between recovery and retreat. One helps you move forward. The other just keeps you comfortable. There are concrete places this shows up at work: dodging difficult conversations, staying in roles where you already know the game, and avoiding real feedback. Not encouragement, not validation, but the kind of input that exposes blind spots and tests your confidence. When you stay slightly invisible, you stay static, and static is falling behind in slow motion. It also calls out the cover stories: “practical,” “rational,” “protecting my energy,” “I don't want the added responsibility.” If you feel defensive when someone questions a “practical” choice, that's a cue to ask: if discomfort wasn't part of this, would you still choose the same thing?Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.com

Can intuitive eating and weight loss exist at the same time… especially after having kids? In this episode of Nutrition for Mamas, postpartum dietitian Brooke Miller talks with board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Stefanie Reinald about the real, nuanced middle ground between intuitive eating and wanting to lose weight as a mom. If you've ever felt: • Guilty for wanting your jeans to fit again • Confused by anti-diet culture • Uncomfortable in your postpartum body • Afraid to track food but unsure what your body needs • Told you must “accept your body” even when you don't feel healthy This conversation is for you. We discuss: • What intuitive eating actually gets right • Where intuitive eating can miss the mark for moms • Why wanting weight loss is not automatically unhealthy • How nourishing your body can naturally support fat loss • Protein and fiber needs for postpartum moms • Hormones, set-point weight, and metabolism after pregnancy • When tracking food helps vs when it hurts • Why the scale is neutral (but not always helpful) • GLP-1 medications and modern weight culture • How to feel more comfortable in your body today • Healthy motivation vs punishment mindset Dr. Reinald shares clinical insight from working with women with eating disorders, postpartum mental health struggles, and hormone imbalances, along with her personal experience as a mom of four. This episode is Part 2 of our burnout series. Watch Part 1 for burnout, hormones, ADHD in moms, and exhaustion after baby.

Growing up in central Missouri, she got her start as a teenage lifeguard and worked her way into municipal parks and recreation leadership before taking a leap into international water park operations. That decision led her to open and operate major projects abroad, including seven years on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, and then a move to Nassau in 2019 to help open Baha Bay, the 15-acre resort water park on the same property as Baha Mar's Rosewood, Grand Hyatt, and SLS hotels. In this interview, Melissa talks about boots on the ground, being comfortable being uncomfortable, and operating a luxury waterpark. Boots on the ground “Be boots on the ground management by walking around, and just being able to interact with our guests as well.” Melissa's leadership style is rooted in showing up where the work is happening, especially during peak periods. During the holiday rush, her routine centers on briefings, checking in with teams, and spending most of the day circulating throughout the park and resort pools. That presence is not performative. She wants team members to know she's there to support them, and she wants to hear guest feedback directly, in real time, so improvements can be made faster. That mindset connects to her earliest days in the industry, when she did everything in a municipal setting, from cleaning restrooms to selling concessions. Those experiences shaped a servant leadership approach where she avoids asking anyone to do something she is not willing to do herself. For Melissa, morale and operational consistency are built in the trenches, side by side with the team. Being comfortable being uncomfortable “Sometimes, you've got to be comfortable being uncomfortable.” Melissa describes her career as a series of intentional stretches. Moving abroad “sight unseen,” navigating language barriers, and leading teams with wide-ranging backgrounds all required patience, humility, and a willingness to learn in public. Her takeaway is that discomfort is not a warning sign, it's often a growth signal, especially for emerging leaders who are encountering challenges like upset guests, unfamiliar policies, or communication gaps for the first time. She coaches her team to keep perspective when situations feel hard. Her reminder is simple: it is temporary, and the comfort zone expands through repetition. She reframes growth as progress toward proficiency, not perfection. Over time, those once-intimidating moments become more natural, and she loves seeing team members make that shift and then turn around and train the next wave. Operating a luxury waterpark “We are a 15-acre luxury water park, which is a little bit of a tricky thing to piece together.” Baha Bay is both a resort amenity and a destination that sells day passes, which creates a unique operational balance. Melissa explains that “luxury” is not just a label, it's reflected in design details like landscaping, finishings, and elevated cabanas that feel like permanent structures rather than temporary setups. The goal is alignment with Baha Mar's broader brand promise as a high-end resort experience. Luxury also shows up in service expectations and consistency. Whether guests arrive from Rosewood, Grand Hyatt, SLS, a cruise ship, or an Airbnb, Melissa emphasizes that everyone deserves the same high-level experience. Her team uses shared core values across resort services to meet those expectations, and she reinforces the standard from onboarding forward. The challenge, as she puts it, is sustaining that grand-opening energy year after year, which she tackles through daily briefings, ongoing training, and recognition programs like the park's Elevation Awards.

Following on from last week's episode, Lauren and Trey pick up right where they left off; they pull back the curtain on why Lauren, a lifelong people-pleaser, is intentionally practicing standing in her ego rather than collapsing into a martyrdom apology.Trey reflects on the discomfort of watching his partner grow into a version of herself that doesn't immediately move to restore his comfort. He shares the internal dialogue he navigated while Lauren explored her agency, and how he manages the aftershocks of her development.Together, they unpack how Lauren's lateness triggered Trey's childhood wounds regarding his mother, proving that the emotional responses we feel in partnership often have less to do with our partner and everything to do with our primary caregivers.Drawing on the work of David Schnarch, they explore the "two-choice dilemma" and the power of the Third Domain; a space where partners can lay down their anxieties and feedback to observe them from a distance rather than being consumed by them.They close out the conversation with a reminder that while we choose our partners, we also choose their trauma and the rate at which they heal. Expect raw honesty, a few digs about boomer parents, and a deep dive into why developing the capacity to sit in discomfort is a relational superpower.If this conversation resonated, especially around setting boundaries or navigating childhood triggers, you don't have to do the work alone.

Old Testament Sermons / Speaker:Berry Kercheville The Call and Message of Jeremiah Chapters 1-2  Introduction: Jeremiah is a unique prophet in many ways. God called him when he is young, at least in his early twenties. He is called to live a hard and difficult life. He is hated by his own people, and kings desired to kill him in spite of the fact that his message was intended to save them.  The heart of Jeremiah is what is most moving. In reading the book, it is not long before your heart becomes wedded to his and that every emotion he feels and every hurt he endures, becomes your emotion and your hurt. Soon you realize that what you are experiencing is not just Jeremiah's heart, but the heart of God himself reflected in his prophet.  Please participate in the readings this year. You will travel through great valleys, but in the end you will ascend to the mountain top with God. Overview of the last kings of Judah during Jeremiah's ministry Reigns of the final kings of Judah  Manasseh: 696–642 Amon: 642–640 Josiah: 640–609 (Jeremiah's ministry begins in the 13th year of Josiah: 627–586) Jehoahaz: 609 (3 months). Deported to Egypt by Pharaoh Necho Jehoiakim:  609–597  Put on the throne by Necho 605: Babylon defeated Egypt at the battle of Carchemish Jehoiakim served Nebuchadnezzar until 597 when he rebelled and is killed Jehoiachin 597 (3 months): taken and imprisoned in Babylon for 35 years until Evil-merodach mercifully freed him (2 Kings 25:27) Zedekiah 597–586: Puppet king to Nebuchadnezzar. Rebels in 588 and after an 18 month siege, Jerusalem and the temple are overthrown. Though the first half of Jeremiah's ministry is during Josiah's reforms, it is evident by Jeremiah's message that the heart of the people is unchanged. The message: External reforms did not achieve the change of heart God demands.  The last half of Jeremiah's ministry (chapters 21ff) are the worst for him since he is now dealing with the wicked sons of Josiah as kings. Jeremiah is treated as a traitor and accused of treason for urging Zedekiah to submit to Nebuchadnezzar according to the word of the Lord. But Zedekiah's advisors believe that Jerusalem cannot be conquered, and therefore their rebellion becomes the demise of the nation. Key Messages & Lessons: Chapter One 1:4 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…I consecrated you…” Do you believe that could be said of you? Has God formed you, knew you, and consecrated you before you were born?  “…even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.” (Ephesians 1:4-6) Go home and look in the mirror. Look deeply and carefully. You have a purpose. You were created for a purpose. Consider the amazing blessing God desired for you and planned for you. He specially appointed and chose you to be a part of an eternal plan and to exalt you above the angels.  You may look in the mirror and see someone you do not like, someone who you know has failed the purpose for which God created you. We've all been there. Now is the time to step up and meet that purpose. One day at a time, rebuild your life to please God.  The above is so easily said, but the effort needed is very difficult, especially in the beginning as you change old habits. Here is a “simple” daily schedule that must be followed if you are to succeed: Prayer! “Ask and you will receive…”  Read one chapter a day with a pencil, with notes of discoveries in a journal. Uncomfortable at first? Yes, if you've never done it. But this is absolutely necessary if God is going to renew your mind! 1:6-8 “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth…do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you.” God accepts no excuses! Jeremiah was young, very young—barely in his twenties. He had a lot of reasons why he shouldn't be the one who challenged kings. But that is the point! God never has looked for the “mighty” and the “talented.” God uses those who know that the power resides in God alone. We are nothing. But with God and the faith of the grain of mustard seed, mountains are moved. Do not look to yourself. That will only demoralize you and cause you to lose hope. Look to God. There is no failure with God. Never has been!  1:16 “And I will declare my judgments against them; for all their evil in forsaking me.” It is important that we always ask ourselves this question: Am I forsaking the Lord? There is a simple rule of thumb here—when our hearts are turned to other things, and the Lord is not our priority, we are forsaking him. The only outcome is our own failed idolatry. Key Messages & Lessons: Chapter Two 2:1-3 The violation of love and the marriage covenant This is a picture of love and the initial covenantal marriage of God with Israel. It is important to feel the Lord's heart and love as he looks back on the time in which he called the to follow him and be wedded to him. It is a heart-breaking scene. “Israel was holy…” This statement indicates the special purpose God had for Israel. They are set apart beyond all other nations. They are intended to display the holiness of God so that the nations would also turn to him. “…the firstfruits” changes the metaphor to picture why Israel was chosen. “Firstfruits” were a special offering to God of thanksgiving. “All who ate of it incurred guilt…”— thus Israel is God's and enemy nations would not be allowed to devour them. To be “Israel” was truly an unparalleled blessing.  “Firstfruits” also indicated a greater harvest to come. What could this greater harvest be? It is the nations—a picture of God's promise to Abraham that through his offspring all nations would be blessed. The failure of Israel should be a strong reminder to us of our calling and purpose. “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9) The failure of Israel should also remind us of the deep love God has for us and the extreme hurt we cause the Lord when our love for him wanes in favor of following earthly and worldly desires. To emphasize this God even required Hosea to endure the adulteries of his wife so that he could relate to Israel the deep hurt and anger God felt by Israel's adulteries. Summary of God's Message God remembers these early days in which he delivered them from bondage and made them is own at Sinai. Their hearts had trembled when he spoke to them and they made a promise to him that all he commanded they would do. But the contrast is seen in the rest of the chapter. They completely turned away, from kings, to priests, to prophets (2:8), “on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed down like a whore” (2:20). 2:11-13 It is unheard of that a nation would change gods. But Israel was unique among the nations, not only changing gods but rejecting the true God who done so much for them in favor of gods that cannot give them anything. They gave up the fountain of living waters and instead dug out cisterns that cannot hold water. Will we learn from this? How foolish to turn to the worldly, idolatrous desires that are based on the weakness and do not last and reject the God who has never failed us and brings us through every trial.  Question: Are you drinking from the fountain of living waters? Did you drink from that fountain each day last week? Or are you digging your own cistern and expecting your thirst to be quenched?  2:26-27 is a vivid illustration of this foolishness. God is our Creator. Should not that which is created turn to the One who formed him? 2:27-28 illustrates the day of need and calling to God for help. Ha! Turn to the idols you have served and see if they can save you! 2:34-35 The callousness of sin is illustrated by their claim of innocence in spite of their utter wickedness and murder. 2:23-25 A good illustration of the addictiveness of sin. Israel is like a restless camel, never content. She is like a wild donkey in heat sniffing the wind and eager to mate with any males that are willing—it will not be difficult to find her. Look at her! A holy nation turned to animal instincts!  When Israel is told to repent, her answer is that it is hopeless, she loves strangers and after them she will go. This is exactly what Satan does to us when we persist in sin! It doesn't have to be “a lot of sins.” Just one sin will do. Just one sin that eats at our minds and corrupts our hearts. Soon we look at ourselves and say, “It is hopeless. I am what I am and I cannot turn away!” Conclusion: Just as in Jeremiah's day, it is time to make a choice. Judgment is coming. In spite of Israel's many denials that the Babylonians would enter the city and massacre them, God's word held true. Will we ready ourselves for our coming Judgment? Or will we keep living in denial?  Berry Kercheville The post Jeremiah 1-2: The Call and Message of Jeremiah appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

Here we are, with six more weeks of winter to look forward to, according to the Groundhog. In the news this morning, Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night died, they're charging money to take selfies at the Trevi Fountain, and Wordle is now reusing words. In sports, the Bucks play tonight against the Bulls, the Badgers take on Indiana on Saturday, the NFL is going to reevaluate the "Rooney Rule" after the most recent round of coaching hires, the Saints are going to be playing in Paris next season, and a college basketball coach gets arrested on the court right after a game. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight & what's new on New Release Tuesday. Great story about a kid in Australia who saved his family from drowning, and Google Translate recently helped deliver a baby in New Jersey! Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show joined us live from the Super Bowl. In other Super Bowl news, a look at the record amount of money people are wagering on the game, and a list of the worst halftime performances. Apparently, there's a new TikTok health "hack" involving hot water. And speaking of a trying to get healthy, check out this guy who's locking himself in his room for an entire year and streaming it. Have you seen McDonald's is releasing caviar for your nuggets on Valentine's Day? What's a luxury you could never give up once you've experienced it? And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy on meth who stole a couple of airplanes, a naked man on a Universal Studios tour, another naked guy on a plane, a couple who's suing a fertility clinic, and a hospital that had to be evacuated after a guy showed up with a WWII bomb in his ass.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We discuss the possibilities of what this facility could be and why it is located in Chicago. Later Justin shares his experience discovering a hadron collider in Illinois as a wildlife biologist. What started out as a routine day of testing for “nerd stuff” in a local creek ended with armed men surrounding him and his team as they entered a location that doesn't exist on Google Maps, but houses a secret hadron collider. We wrap up the conversation by discussing Justin's family property and how they were tormented by bigfoot for nearly two years.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Exodus 19

You did the vision work. You got clear. Your team leaned in. And yet—somehow—you were still in the middle. Still answering questions. Still resolving decisions. Still carrying the weight of the business. In this episode, we unpack why that happens, why it's not a failure of vision or leadership, and why belief without structure actually creates more dependence, not less. Vision does exactly what it's supposed to do—it creates belief, alignment, and care. But belief alone doesn't create action. When teams don't have clear decision rules, ownership, and boundaries, caring actually makes them more cautious, not more autonomous. Vision fails when leaders expect inspiration to replace infrastructure—and end up becoming the system instead. Key Takeaways Vision creates belief, but belief without structure creates hesitation When people care but don't feel safe deciding, everything escalates back to the owner Being the bottleneck isn't a control issue—it's a missing translation issue Repeating the vision doesn't create autonomy; it often creates dependence Teams revert to what's clearest under pressure—and that's usually the owner Managing returns when vision isn't translated into priorities, ownership, and decision rights Vision didn't fail—you just stopped halfway Even though the Vision Workshop has already happened, you can still get full access to the replay. If this episode helped you see why vision alone didn't free you—and what was missing—the workshop walks you through how to translate vision into structure, decision-making, and leadership systems that actually stick.  Get the Vision Workshop replay here: https://aibusinessscalingblueprint.com/vision2026

Amy and Kat check in with two of their feelings (disgusted and eager) before diving into a surprisingly effective (and slightly unsettling) skincare hack involving dandruff shampoo on your face. They unpack the difference between what’s actually toxic and what’s just uncomfortable: someone disagreeing with you, being asked to compromise, feeling guilty after you hurt someone, hearing disappointment, and the kind of conflict that can actually lead to growth (from @therapyforwomen). Then Amy shares an analogy from Dr. Matt Townsend about highly sensitive people and she’s decided that Kat is a low-end-Porsche.

What if the pressure to be “special” is actually what's keeping you stuck? In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author Mark Manson to talk about why success doesn't cure anxiety, how your ego fights change, and why transformation feels long before it feels empowering. Mark shares the thinking behind The Subtle Art of Not Giving an F-bomb documentary, the personal stories that shaped it, and why realizing you're not unique in your struggles is actually liberating. Get ready to stop chasing perfection, release the pressure to be extraordinary, and find freedom in being human. In This Episode You Will Learn Why realizing you're NOT SPECIAL can actually set you FREE. Why GROWTH feels UNCOMFORTABLE and why that's a GOOD sign. How to stop tying your WORTH to OUTCOMES. How to break PATTERNS that keep repeating in relationships and work. How to LET GO of labels that trap your identity. Why AVOIDING PAIN creates more PROBLEMS than it solves. How to stop chasing PERFECT and start living with PURPOSE. Why confronting MORTALITY clarifies what actually matters.
