Podcasts about Underneath

In this episode, we sit down with Amber Romaniuk for a deep dive into the numerous root causes of emotional eating. She discusses how the food industry has shaped our behaviors by promoting highly processed, dopamine-driven foods that hijack our brain's reward pathways and keep us stuck in cycles of craving, guilt, and restriction. Amber highlights the role of dopamine in these patterns, showing how food becomes a quick emotional fix and how disrupted hormones, gut health, and blood-sugar balance can intensify cravings. She offers practical steps for healing, including building awareness around emotional vs. physical hunger, stabilizing blood sugar with nourishing foods, supporting digestion and hormones, and cultivating safety and self-trust instead of restriction or shame. Addressing food addiction, she emphasizes compassion, mindset work, and non-food coping tools to break binge-and-restrict loops. She also shares her insights into the use of GLP-1 medications, as well as more information about her Body Freedom Program, which helps women release diet culture, heal their relationship with food, balance hormones and digestion, and create lasting “body safety” through mindset shifts, nutrition, and emotional healing—all aimed at achieving freedom from food obsession and reconnecting with the body's innate wisdom.Amber Romaniuk is an Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert, with 12 years experience helping high achieving women create a level of body confidence, intuition and optimal health through powerful mindset healing, self-care and overcoming self-sabotage with food.She does this through addressing the key negative thoughts, patterns and limiting beliefs that keep women stuck in the same behaviors for years and decades, that they haven't been able to break.Her podcast “The No Sugarcoating Podcast” has 2+ million downloads, over 600 episodes and is listened to in over 90 countries.Amber overcame her own emotional eating after gaining and losing more than 1000 lbs and spending over $50,000 on binge foods, and spending 5 years balancing her hormones and digestion. She also dismantled her deep limiting beliefs and behaviors keeping her stuck in the same looping patterns.Now she helps others achieve the biggest healing miracles of Body FreedomTM so they have the confidence and health to create amazing lives.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!1:40 Amber Romaniuk's Bio2:11 Welcome her to the show!3:09 Her turning point9:34 Influence from the food industry11:52 Impact of childhood on eating behaviors13:44 Numbing out with food15:20 Renee's journey with food19:39 Low Dopamine25:58 Food disorders in men27:28 The Kardashian influence30:04 Intuition & discernment for self-healing32:58 *MIMIO HEALTH*34:49 The downsides of GLP-1s39:45 Food addiction & Perimenopause49:02 Body positivity movement52:22 Her morning routine advice57:42 Body Freedom Program1:00:20 Where to find her1:01:06 Her final piece of advice1:01:44 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:*MIMIO HEALTH - code: biohackerbabes to save 20%WebsiteBody Freedom ProgramNo Sugar Coating PodcastInstagramFacebookYouTubeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Matthew 5:13-16 - Jesus's introduction to the Sermon on the Mount continues with His proclamation of His receptive audience's role in the world as both salt and light. In this short saying, Jesus is calling His disciples to be who they were made to be: those who together make things better (and for a long time) in a broken world and those who boldly shine Christ's light in a dark world. Underneath it all is the great call to "love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength... and to love your neighbor as yourself." A sermon by Tsion Reid. [Part 3 of our series "Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: The Good Life in the Kingdom of Grace"] Questions for reflection: 1) What would you say you are known for? 2) What does it mean to be "the salt of the earth?" 3) How does someone let their light shine boldly as on "a stand?" 4) What is the relationship here between faith and works? Or between Christ's work in your life and your work out in the world? 5) How does this passage point us to the grace of Christ? How does it point us to the Holy Spirit's empowerment?

Shadow work is a great way to explore what happens when our need to be liked keeps us from being real.In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph begin with a literal light-and-shadow practice and move into the deeper truth of emotional shadow work: what we hide to stay safe. Georgianna shares a powerful story about her son saying he wanted to “saw his brother in half” — and how meeting that truth with compassion revealed what all humans need when we're at our most raw. Steph reflects on her own learned “niceness” and how she used intellectual kindness to cover frustration and fear, creating emotional dissonance and disconnection.Together, they explore how people-pleasing and palatability develop as protective strategies, how they block intimacy, and how self-awareness turns those patterns into power. From relationships to parenting to personal growth, they show what it really means to be fully human — not just polite.Discover how:Niceness can become a mask that hides our needsShadow work reveals the light we've hidden to stay safeReal connection grows when we stop performing “fine”"Like finding gold." – Alma W."The best therapy I've ever done for myself." – Sanjeev B.LIVE training & practice programs:wholeheartedloving.comGet our self-compassionate body-based toolkitEvery episode begins and ends with a body-based self-connection practice, so you can grow your capacity to be with all that life brings.

Send us a text by clicking this link!Warning: Some F-Bombs were dropped in this sectionStart with a careful read of the room: families are stretched thin, culture is noisy, and the heart still aches for God. We sat down and opened a fresh Church document on charity and the poor, then asked a hard question—why does the guidance we hear so often miss the pain points we face each week? Caring for the poor is essential; the Beatitudes aren't optional. But parents are also navigating social media modesty battles, identity confusion, and a five-hour Sunday just to reach the sacraments. Where is the pastoral help that speaks to those fires?We dig into the difference between moral teaching and prudential policy, especially around immigration. Compassion matters, and human dignity isn't up for debate. Yet the on-the-ground strain—parish distance, stretched budgets, cultural fragmentation—rarely earns direct acknowledgment. We argue for a both/and: real charity and a realistic defense of community life, parish stability, and the spiritual formation of children. That requires leaders who will name the demons of our moment—pornography, contempt, factionalism, and despair—along with the corporal needs we already know by heart.Along the way, we wrestle with our own tone. Social media rewards scorn, but the Gospel commands love of the person in front of us—even when we disagree. We talk about reverence for the Eucharist, when not to receive, and how to keep Sundays from souring into resentment for teens. Underneath it all is a plea for shepherds to meet spiritual hunger with supernatural hope: clear teaching, reachable sacraments, and courage that transcends politics.If this resonates—if you've felt unseen while trying to hold your family together in a loud age—press play.

“The Great Divide”We're living through a moment where two realities overlap like transparent slides. One reality is the old paradigm — hierarchical, fear-driven, control-based. The other is the new template — sovereignty, inner authority, a direct connection to Source without intermediaries.This isn't just left vs. right, liberal vs. conservative. It's a vibration split. A spiritual line in the sand. Some will anchor themselves in the density of the old systems, believing safety lies in authority and external answers. Others will break off — not geographically, but vibrationally — forming networks, micro-communities, and parallel structures based on truth, empathy, and self-mastery.As this accelerates, politics becomes the outer theater of something much deeper. Laws, elections, and policies are just the visible layer. Underneath is an ancient transition — the end of an age, the start of another. You could call it “5D vs 3D,” “service-to-self vs service-to-others,” or simply “fear vs freedom.”Those who choose sovereignty will feel like they're in a different timeline altogether: new ways of exchanging value, new ways of educating children, new healing modalities. It won't be announced on the news. It will quietly emerge as the “Great Divide” — not a war, but a divergence of worlds.AskHollyHall.com

Stuart and I opened the room with a simple truth. Progress comes from consistency. The Intensive works because it anchors everyone to a living plan that links a three-to-five-year vision to an annual focus and down to a current sixteen-week sprint. When owners follow the process, complete their dashboards, and show up to the weekly rhythm, results compound. The Intensive is where that discipline gets renewed. People sit with peers, compare notes, and see with fresh eyes that the next leap is in reach when the right activity happens in the right order.  A major theme this time was sales and marketing as part of our Scale with Confidence model. Many owners had been waiting for a perfect moment to build a pipeline engine. The Intensive reminded everyone that the engine starts turning when daily activity is tracked, reviewed, and refined. We unveiled a refreshed New Client Runway roadmap that simplifies the work into three plain steps with clear sub steps, templates, and ownership. The reaction in the room said it all. Heads were nodding. Teams could see what to do, when to do it, and who would lead each piece. Confusion lifted and energy rose because the path was visible. That is the purpose of the Intensive. Remove guesswork and create momentum.  Leadership development featured strongly. Our leadership coach, Julie Hutchison, helped owners face a vital question. Who do I need to be to lead this next phase. Not only what do I need to do. The distinction matters. Doing solves tasks. Being sets culture, creates standards, and unlocks others. Julie also highlighted the power of partners in the room. Spouses and business partners arrived a little cautious then quickly felt welcomed as integral contributors. Once they saw where they fit in the plan they spoke up with insight and took ownership of the levers they can pull. The Intensive gave them a safe space to step forward. That is a win for alignment and a win for home life too. Finance was front and centre with our finance coach, Clare Elliott. Clare tied the sales and marketing conversation back to numbers that tell the truth. Run rate. Margins. Pipeline value by stage. Activity to meeting to proposal to sale. She challenged everyone to share financial targets with their teams so the whole business can rally. One client set a monthly target, shared it openly, and within forty-eight hours the gap narrowed to a few thousand pounds as the team pulled together. Another client crossed their million-pound milestone during the event. The cheer that went up summed up the spirit of the Intensive. Clear targets, shared ownership, and collective pride in progress.  Across the tables a pattern emerged. Several owners felt overwhelmed even as the business was growing fast. They were in the thick of success and could not see the wood for the trees. The solution in the room was practical and calm. Step up to thirty thousand feet. Look back at how far you have come. Reconnect to the plan. Trim distractions. Commit to three priorities for the next sixteen weeks and move everything else to the later list. The Intensive created that breathing space. People left lighter because they made decisions and booked actions with dates and names against them.  Community remains a secret weapon. The infamous quiz returned. Shirt of the day became a thing. Laughter flowed. Underneath the fun sits a very real benefit. Owners discover they are not alone. They swap playbooks, borrow templates, and set up follow up calls across the room. New friendships form that carry accountability far beyond the two days. The Intensive is a serious working event with a generous dose of human connection. That balance is why people come back.  My own light bulb moments were clear. First, our support tracks are landing. Transform Your Profits, Team Performance Engine, Future Leaders, and the marketing implementation track are lifting capability across the community. Owners are not only learning frameworks. Their finance leads, marketing coordinators, and service managers are in the room learning the same language and building the same muscle. Second, our refreshed marketing roadmap removed friction. When people see the journey end to end, confidence goes up and action follows. Third, the message we share with the wider market needs to meet owners at the point where many decide to change. A large client leaves. A key staff member moves on. A retirement horizon becomes real. The Intensive surfaced that pattern again and it will inform our outreach so we can help at the right moment. To close, here is the essence of this episode and of the Intensive. Scaling an MSP is a process. Know your numbers. Build a plan you believe in. Execute the right activities in a steady rhythm. Develop leaders who can think and act without you. Share targets so your team can win with you. Surround yourself with a community that will cheer you on and hold you to account. The September Client Intensive delivered all of that. Plans were refreshed, confidence was renewed, and the ripple effect will show up in better weeks, stronger months, and a more valuable business. If you want your MSP to move from busy to purposeful and from hope to a clear path, the Intensive is where that shift begins and where it gets reinforced every time we come together.  Make sure to check out our Ultimate MSP Growth Guide, a free guide that walks you through a proven process to take your MSP from stuck to scalable, without working even more hours.

A trunk ride with Billy Gibbons, a pair of “blessed” boots, and the moment a lyric became a band name—this one has stories. We sit down with American Mile's Eugene Rice for a fast, funny, and unfiltered tour through the making of a modern Southern rock band built on grit, harmony, and a never-quit work ethic. From a Vermont town of 1,500 to SoCal stages, Eugene traces the path: sleeping in rehearsal spaces, selling a bike to buy an RV, and logging 200+ dates a year—often in four-hour marathons that would break most bands. He breaks down how “American Mile” emerged mid-take with producer Keith Nelson (Buckcherry), why a bison ended up on the merch table, and how thrift-store scarves became a signature stage move that also solved the hated-iPad problem.We get into sound and influence—Allman Brothers and Skynyrd bones with modern threads from The Black Crowes and Blackberry Smoke. Eugene spotlights the B3 and harmony vocals as secret sauce, plus the rotating “fifth member” who steps in for showcases. Then it gets practical: the economics of LA gigs, the reality of casino anchors, and why a vintage guitar day job keeps the dream alive and the tone honest. He opens the hood on the business too—band democracy, equal pay, and a vesting path to ownership that rewards the grind—while telling road-war stories about blown control arms, stolen catalytic converters, and welding fixes that saved shows.Underneath the laughs and lore sits a clear message: the American dream is still there if you work for it. Mentors matter. Systems matter. Saying yes matters. If you're building a band, a creative career, or any longshot, you'll leave with playbook-level tactics and renewed fight.

We're joined by Augusta Distillery's national brand ambassador to dig into what makes single‑barrel, cask‑strength whiskey feel both world‑class and welcoming: a visitor experience designed for lingering, fair‑pour access to ultra‑premium bottles, and a production engine running 24/7 with new rickhouses coming online. If you've ever wondered how a brand can be NDP at the bottle while laying down barrels daily, or why the words unfiltered and uncompromised still matter, this one hits the spot.We taste through Old Route 8, Buckner's 13, and Buckner's 10—calling out the signatures that keep fans lining up: brown sugar and dark fruit, cinnamon warmth that stays clean, and a “dessert in a glass” profile that turns into an old fashioned over a single cube. Festival highlights abound—light‑yield unicorns selling out in hours, surprise drops of Buckner's 17 and hazmat 13—and a smart, simple cocktail reveal: the 8 and 8 highball with Kentucky's own Ale‑8, a fresh upgrade on the classic 7 and 7 that brings high‑proof whiskey into easy‑drinking territory. Along the way, we share a rare 1946 vintage pour that connects dust, medicine‑sweet cherry, and history to the present, a reminder that some of the best bourbon was made decades ago—and some is quietly aging for drinkers yet to come.Underneath the proofs and pours is purpose. Every bottle points back to Augusta, Kentucky: a flood‑tested river town, a one‑building K‑12 school, and a community that's received real support—funded arts, a renovated ballfield with the Cincinnati Reds, and a sense of pride you can feel on the lawn outside the distillery. Consider this your invite to make the trip: thieve from barrels, bottle your own, sit by the fire pits, and watch the ferry cross the Ohio as the leaves turn. If you love bourbon culture—barrel picks, rare releases, and stories that stick—you'll feel right at home.

In today's episode, we dive into a powerful truth: becoming more magnetic and attractive doesn't require abs, money, or status—it starts with how you see yourself. If you've ever felt like you're just not desirable enough, that something is wrong with you, or that others wouldn't want to be close to the “real you,” this conversation will shift everything. Dr. Aziz shares his personal journey from years of insecurity, social anxiety, and rejection to finding genuine freedom and connection. You'll discover why your belief that you're not attractive is the actual block—not your looks, your personality, or your past. The secret? A willingness to let yourself be seen and known. And not just intellectually, but emotionally—fully and courageously. If you want more magnetism, more connection, and more real confidence in every area of life—from friendships to dating to your career—this episode is for you. Tune in now, and take the first step toward living life unhidden.------------------ Most people think being magnetic and attractive is about perfect abs, flawless hair, or saying all the right things. But the truth is, the biggest obstacle to your natural magnetism isn't your appearance at all—it's what you believe about yourself. In this post, you'll discover why your “fantasy self” is quietly sabotaging your confidence and how you can start becoming irresistible right now, without changing who you are. The Biggest Block to Attraction (And It's Not Your Looks) When I ask clients why they hesitate to approach someone, they'll grimace and say, “It's not going to go well.” Underneath that is a story: I'm not magnetic, I'm not attractive, and I'm not desirable. This story creates a trap. We tell ourselves, “I'll finally put myself out there when I'm thinner, richer, more interesting, or more confident.” That version of you—your “fantasy self”—never gets anxious, always knows what to say, and looks amazing. Until you become that version, you stay hidden. But here's the cost: life passes you by. You miss out on connection, love, friendships, and opportunities that are available right now. The real obstacle isn't that people wouldn't be drawn to you—it's that you're telling yourself you're not attractive enough to try. The Real Secret to Being Magnetic: Willingness to Be Seen and Known Let me give you the great secret right now: attraction begins with a willingness to let yourself be seen and known. Being “seen and known” isn't dumping your deepest trauma on a first date. It's showing your aliveness—your thoughts, your feelings, your humor, your enthusiasm—in the moment. It's being curious about someone else while allowing them to experience you. Most people try to connect without vulnerability. They hide behind a performance, hoping to look perfect enough to earn approval. That doesn't create magnetism; it creates distance. Real magnetism is showing up as yourself—5% more real than you were yesterday. My Turning Point (And Why It Matters to You) I know this because I lived it. For over a decade, from middle school into college, I believed I was unattractive and undesirable. Even when a girl clearly showed interest—like the first time someone kissed me at a sleepover—I avoided her the next morning. My story (“she'd never really want me”) was stronger than reality. Later, I dove into pickup advice, learning how to act bold and impressive. It helped me get dates but not real relationships. Why? Because I was still hiding my true self. It wasn't until my late 20s, when I began practicing vulnerability, that everything shifted. You don't need to wait as long as I did. The sooner you practice letting yourself be seen and known—even a little—the sooner you become naturally magnetic. Your Action Step: Be 5% More Real This week, don't try to overhaul your whole personality. Instead, experiment with being just 5% more real. Share a genuine thought or feeling when you'd normally stay guarded. Show a little more curiosity, warmth, or enthusiasm in your next conversation. It's not about being perfect. It's about gently retraining your nervous system to see that revealing yourself is safe—and often rewarding. Closing Inspiration You don't have to wait until you're flawless to be magnetic. You're already more attractive than you think. All it takes is the courage to be a little more real, a little more open, and a lot more you. And if you're excited to go deeper into these skills, stay tuned: in October I'll be leading a live, virtual workshop called Supremely Confident Conversation Master where we'll practice these tools together in real time. Pencil in the dates—October 10th–12th—you won't want to miss it. Until then, remember: have the courage to be who you are. On a deep level, you're awesome.

The "where are the games?!" crowd is having a bad week, because PlayStation's most recent State of Play showed that plenty is indeed incoming for your PS5. For starters, Insomniac's long-dormant Wolverine has reemerged. Revealed four years ago and having clearly gone through some tribulations behind-the-scenes, Wolverine is slated for PlayStation 5 next fall, and it looks violent and grisly in all the right ways. Coming sooner from first party, however, is Housemarque's Returnal sequel Saros, launching in March of '26. It looks awesome, and we're to get back to shootin'. But as if these two games didn't give us enough to talk about, there's more: Microsoft Flight Simulator is the next Xbox-aligned game PS5-bound (with Forza Horizon 6 somewhere behind it), the original Deus Ex is getting the remaster treatment, a God of War DualSense has been revealed in recognition of the franchise's 20th anniversary, Kojima both revealed a Physint poster and showed off his new horror title OD, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! What's going on with the PS5 Pro's many technical issues? Will NetEase's F2P game Ananta be as insane as it seems? Why do we have such a problem with the premise of licensed games? Is Boar's Head's fine deli meat becoming too expensive for the average consumer?

RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews. This week we have the return of a much-missed detective icon from the small screen to the theatre stage with ‘Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts' with some twists and turns, red a few red herrings and some rye humour too at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre with description by Professional Audio describer Carolyn Smith. About ‘Inspector Morse:  House of Ghosts' A chilling mystery unfolds when a young actress suddenly dies on stage during a performance, and Detective Chief Inspector Morse embarks on a gripping investigation. What begins as a suspicious death inquiry takes a darker turn when the legendary inspector, together with DS Lewis, uncovers a connection to sinister events in his own past, twenty-five years earlier. Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts marks the first-ever major stage adaptation of the iconic detective. ITV's long-running Inspector Morse, hailed by Radio Times as ‘The greatest British crime series of all time', has inspired equally beloved spin-offs, Lewis and Endeavour. Starring Tom Chambers (Father Brown, Strictly Come Dancing) as Inspector Morse, this original story written for the stage is a must-see for fans of compelling detective stories and thrilling mysteries. Presented by Birmingham Rep & Melting Pot. Based on characters by Colin Dexter.

Click here to take the quiz and learn your Relational Blueprint type    If you've ever felt that Attachment Theory doesn't quite explain everything, then you're intuitively tuning into something that most people are ignoring. We as individuals are so much more complex than the label of "anxious" or "avoidant." Underneath every anxious woman is someone who secretly avoids love through pushing, pursuing , and proving. And underneath every avoidant man is someone who gets so anxious around intimacy, that he has to withdraw from it. Attachment theory gave us some important perspective but in this episode I want to honestly speak about the important things it doesn't address and introduce a new Blueprint system I've been developing that fills in the gaps where attachment theory fails.    This one will be powerful. Enjoy!

Send us a textWhat gives a Christian unshakable confidence? How can believers find security when everything around them feels uncertain? Moses's final message to the Israelites wasn't about keeping laws or following rules—it was about resting in the eternal refuge of God.Diving deep into Deuteronomy 33:27, we unpack Moses's powerful declaration that "the eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." This ancient text reveals a timeless truth: God's protection isn't temporary or conditional—it's as eternal as He is. When Moses describes God as our refuge, he's painting a picture of absolute safety, preservation, and protection that cannot fail because it flows from God's unchanging character.The doctrine of the perseverance of the saints isn't just theological jargon—it's the heartbeat of biblical assurance. If God is eternal and He is our refuge, then our security in Him must also be eternal. Like a safety net positioned beneath trapeze artists, God's everlasting arms give believers the confidence to pursue obedience without paralyzing fear. This isn't about having license to sin; it's about having liberty to serve.Many Christians struggle with the fear of falling away or losing their salvation, but Moses's final teaching confronts these anxieties head-on. The arms that hold us are everlasting—they never tire, never weaken, and never let go. If you've been taught you can jump out of God's hands or slip through His fingers, this message will challenge those assumptions with the clear teaching of Scripture.Join us as we rediscover the profound comfort of divine preservation—not as a controversial theological position, but as Moses's farewell gift to God's people. Whether you're feeling spiritually secure or wrestling with doubt, these ancient words offer fresh hope for your journey of faith.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter.

Send us a textThe concept of "eternal refuge" completely transforms how we understand salvation. God's everlasting arms beneath us create not a prison of legalism, but a sanctuary of grace from which we can face life's battles with confidence.Many believers live trapped in chains of fear, perpetually worried their salvation hangs by a thread of their own performance. But this message shatters that misconception. When Moses spoke of God as our eternal refuge with everlasting arms underneath us, he wasn't describing a temporary shelter but an unbreakable promise. The security of our salvation doesn't depend on our ability to maintain it, but on God's unchanging character and Christ's completed work.The substitutionary nature of Christ's death means He fully bore our punishment. If Jesus didn't actually take away all sin from His elect people, how would His sacrifice differ from the repetitive animal sacrifices under the Old Covenant? We stand justified before God not because we've never sinned, but because Christ's righteousness has been credited to our account. This divine transaction means believers face no condemnation—not because we don't sin, but because our sin was completely accounted for at Calvary.Perhaps most powerful is the revelation that God's sovereignty works alongside our responsibility. In Deuteronomy, Moses speaks of God thrusting out enemies before Israel while commanding them to destroy these enemies. This parallels our spiritual battles today. God has already defeated our spiritual enemies and now calls us to participate in their destruction from a position of security. "I've made you safe in my refuge; I've secured you in my arms; now go destroy those enemies because you cannot lose."This truth frees us to fight sin with confidence—not from fear of losing salvation, but from assurance in God's completed work and ongoing protection. Take heart in this powerful truth: God's arms are positioned to lift you up, not push you down. Rest in His refuge, trust in His finished work, and face your battles with divine confidence.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter. Laughs included.

In this episode we continue our conversation with Tasha Gordon-Solmon and Faye Chiao about their new musical: Fountain of You. We learn more about the journey of the characters and end the episode with a game specifically designed for these writers. When a thirty-something actress is suddenly aged out of the industry, she undergoes a wildly unconventional spa procedure to get her old life back. But it sets her on a whole new path to pursue true power and equality . . . at a cost. Fountain of You is a dark comedy that takes on our preoccupation with youth and beauty, and the system underlying it all, with a pop-infused score and lots of blood. This episode features the songs “Lightheaded” performed by Jason Veasey and “What's Underneath” performed by Jenny Barber, Lexi Rabadi, Betina Bresnan, and Faye Chiao.

Introducing “The Four Heavies" - manipulation, intimidation, coercion, and deceit - in today's episode, McKay demonstrates the detrimental impact they can have on individuals and organizations. He argues that while these tactics may yield short-term results, they create unhealthy patterns in mental and emotional development, ultimately undermining trust and growth.McKay illustrates these effects with personal stories: Anna's anxiety from manipulation, Marcus's isolation from intimidation, and Lena's trust issues from deceit. He extends this to corporate failures like Enron and Wells Fargo, showing how "The Heavies" disrupt brain development and foster toxic cultures. Our host then offers actionable alternatives: focusing on potential, modeling calmness, and cultivating empathy. Join him today to transform your parenting and leadership for lasting success.Main Themes:"The Four Heavies" (manipulation, intimidation, coercion, deceit) are detrimental to individual development and organizational culture.Childhood experiences of "The Four Heavies" profoundly impact brain development, emotional regulation, and future relationships.Organizational cultures can mirror individual parenting styles, leading to systemic problems when built on "The Four Heavies."Focusing on the potential of others fosters growth and healthy relationships.Modeling calm, desired behavior creates a safe environment for emotional processing and learning.Empathy is a powerful tool for connection and leadership, leading to trust and attraction.Positivity correlates with success, even more than aptitude.Avoiding "The Four Heavies" leads to more effective leadership, greater satisfaction, and positive impact.Self-compassion is important as we strive for improvement.Top 10 Quotes:"The long-term effect of using ‘The Four Heavies' is extremely unhealthy.""Underneath the surface, we all have a richer, more valuable person.""When we see this potential, it's natural to lead genuinely and authentically.""Coercion uses fear or punishment to force behavior.""When individuals feel manipulated or unsafe, they seek healthier environments.""Being calm invites reasoning and thinking.""Positivity heavily correlates to predicting a person's success, even if they lacked aptitude."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen
