What happens when you decide you're done living the same year twice? In this powerful Women's History Month episode of Pushing Forward with Alycia, Kristina Watts⁠ shares the raw, disciplined, identity-shifting journey that changed everything. This isn't just a story about weight loss. It's about betting on yourself before anyone else understands. It's about quieting the noise. It's about standing at mile five of your life and realizing, I belong here. Kristina is a wife, mom of three, multipreneur, and founder of a multiple seven-figure life insurance agency. But three years ago, she was 274 pounds, rebuilding financially after losing a business, and facing the hardest opponent of all: Herself. From using GLP-1 medication amid criticism… To losing 130 pounds… To running her first marathon at the Every Woman's Marathon… To completing Andy Frisella's 75 Hard and then extending it to 365 days… This episode is about discipline, identity, leadership, and declaring your own “I Did It” year.

I loved this one! Elaine Lin Hering is all about silence. Not the peaceful, meditative kind. The learned kind... The kind where you know exactly what you want to say… and then don’t. We talked about why 'just speak up' is crap advice, why some of us are post-processors who realise what we think three days later, and how hinting is not the same as being clear. Apparently 'Are you hungry?' is a yes or no question. Who knew. It’s not about saying it perfectly or getting the response you want. It’s about choice. Am I choosing to stay silent, or is silence choosing me? And yes, we absolutely unpacked my internal rage spiral over rice... That I don’t even like. Because it’s never about the rice. If you’ve ever swallowed something that mattered, told yourself a story instead of having the conversation, or realised three days later what you wish you’d said… this one will land.

In this episode of The Black Men Think Podcast, the fellas use the recent back-and-forth involving T.I., his sons, and 50 Cent as a jumping-off point for a deeper conversation about fatherhood, ego, and legacy. What happens when our public conflicts become lessons for our children? Are we modeling leadership, emotional control, and wisdom or are we unintentionally passing down pride and reactionary behavior? We unpack what it looks like to raise sons in the social media era, where every disagreement can become content and every response is permanent. The conversation explores generational differences in masculinity, knowing when to step in as a father, and when to let your son learn on his own. We also reflect on the responsibility that comes with being an example, especially in a world that rewards clap-backs over composure. We also tackle the question: What did we have to unlearn from our father? Which leads us down the road of understanding the reasons why our father's did the things they did and realizing we wanted to do some things differently.

What if the pressure you feel around money isn't personal — it's inherited?In this episode of Dare to Be Free, we unpack financial masculinity: the control, hustle, productivity, and pressure-driven money paradigm rooted in patriarchy that many of us were taught to move inside. This isn't about men versus women — it's about a system that equates worth with output and safety with control.We explore what happens when you stop forcing, stop bracing, and begin integrating pleasure, pacing, and nervous system safety into your wealth strategy.

Conrad Weaver sits down with Kevin Barnhill, a former pastor turned police sergeant turned clinician, to talk about the quiet identity drift so many first responders experience: the moment your badge stops being something you wear and starts becoming who you are. Kevin shares how he “lost himself” for nearly a decade—becoming sharper, more cynical, more irritable—while still doing the work and trying to survive the pace, the calls, and the culture. And then, in a twist that feels almost too small to be true, he describes a wake-up moment that wasn't a shooting or a barricade… but a minor citizen complaint that revealed how far he'd moved from the person he wanted to be. They dig into the difference between bosses and leaders, why punitive environments create fear, and why mentorship—not micromanagement—is often the missing intervention. The heartbeat of the episode lands in one phrase Kevin drops near the end: “Unlearning survival and relearning peace.” If you've felt yourself hardening, disconnecting, or living on edge, this conversation offers language for what's happening—and a path back. ABOUT KEVIN Kevin Barnhill is a former pastor and retired police sergeant with 28 years in law enforcement, including leadership roles such as internal affairs. Today he serves as a clinician, helping first responders and other high-stress professionals move from survival mode into healing, clarity, and sustainable peace.

Welcome to The CJ Moneyway Sh$w — powered by CJ Moneyway Entertainment and Bleav Network, where purpose is the blueprint and legacy is the goal. Today's conversation isn't your usual motivational talk. It's deeper. It's transformational. It challenges everything you thought you knew about spirituality, identity, and personal power. Our guest is Reginald D, a speaker, host of Real Talk With Reginald D, and creator who navigates the tension between religious conditioning, mental health, and personal identity. Reginald's journey didn't begin in peace or clarity. It began in depression, religious conflict, and “inherited scripts” — the unexamined beliefs we all carry without realizing it. One defining moment, while preparing for a talk, shifted his trajectory: he stumbled into science — not to replace faith, but to illuminate it. In this conversation, CJ and Reginald explore: How religious programming impacts mental health and selfhood Why unlearning inherited belief systems is a form of liberation Where faith intersects with psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience How to reframe spiritual identity without losing connection to God What it means to walk in power that transcends fear, judgment, and self‑doubt If you've ever questioned what you were taught about God, self‑worth, or identity — this episode will stretch your ideas, challenge your assumptions, and help you reclaim your voice.

For years, I used to dread Valentine's Day. I told myself it was superficial, overhyped, and proof that love shouldn't be reduced to one day. But looking back, I don't think I hated the holiday — I think I hated how performative love felt in my early twenties. In this episode, I'm talking about performative romance, social media relationships, and the pressure to express love in ways that look impressive instead of feeling honest. When you're in your early twenties and still learning how to trust yourself, it's easy to confuse what love looks like with what love actually feels like. We'll explore: Why love can feel performative in your 20s The pressure to “prove” your relationship publicly How social media shapes our expectations of romance Why Valentine's Day isn't the problem — our understanding of love might be Learning to trust your own definition of love This episode is about emotional maturity, self-trust, and redefining love beyond grand gestures, aesthetics, and expectations. If you've ever questioned whether you genuinely feel something — or just feel like you should — this conversation is for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

An encouraging trend is growing. Bright young people who were convinced of the truth of climate alarmist dogma open their eyes and mind to the actual data on the climate. Then they become climate realists, and even evangelists for science and truth. Anika Sweetland is one of those people. She is a former energy advisor with a degree in climate studies who gave an address on her awakening at Heartland's World Prosperity Forum last month. And she's one of the UK's best public opponents of that country's Net Zero policy and keeps a keen eye on the climate communism of the European Union.Anika joins us to talk about her journey, and also comment on some of the Crazy Climate News of the week, including a proposal to chop down boreal forests in the far north and throw the wood into the Arctic Ocean, how stupid and counterproductive California's aversion to oil refining really is, and how the European Union may be poised to make countering the climate alarmist narrative illegal.Join The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Anika Sweetland LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

On this episode of Directions, the ladies explore life transitions — the shifts that come with growth, change, loss, new seasons, and evolving identities. From career moves to relationship changes and personal reinvention, they unpack what it really means to move from one chapter to another.A major focus of the conversation is the art of unlearning — letting go of beliefs, habits, and mindsets that once served a purpose but no longer align with who you're becoming. Honest, reflective, and grounding, this episode reminds listeners that growth is not just about adding more, but also about releasing what no longer fits.

Ashley Kendi and Tabby Divine dive into the journey of unlearning hurt and relearning love. Reflecting on how upbringing, family dynamics, and past wounds shape the way we show up in relationships, they explore the importance of healing, self-awareness, and inviting God into our broken places. This honest conversation offers hope for anyone longing to build healthier, safer, and more loving connections.#citamchurchonline #ChurchEverydayGet in touch with us:http://www.citam.org/churchonline@citam.org(+254) 784 277 277(+254) 728 221 221

AI models are powerful, but they don't forget. And that's a problem.They hallucinate. They inherit bias. They absorb sensitive data. And once they're trained, fixing those issues is painfully expensive. Retraining takes weeks and maybe tens of millions of dollars. And any guardrails the AI company puts up are brittle.What if you could perform surgery on the model itself?In this episode of TechFirst, John Koetsier sits down with Ben Luria, co-founder of Hirundo, to explore machine unlearning, a new approach that selectively removes unwanted data, behaviors, and vulnerabilities from trained AI systems.Hirundo claims it can:• Cut hallucinations in half• Massively reduce bias• Reduce successful prompt injection attacks by over 90%• Do it in under an hour on a single GPU• Preserve benchmark performanceInstead of adding more guardrails, machine unlearning works inside the model, identifying problematic weights, isolating behavioral vectors, and surgically removing risks without degrading quality.If AI is going mainstream in enterprises, it needs a remediation layer. Is machine unlearning the missing piece?⸻GuestBen LuriaCo-Founder, HirundoNhirhttps://www.hirundo.io⸻Topics Covered• Why AI models “can't forget”• The difference between hallucinations and inaccuracies• Why guardrails aren't enough• How prompt injection works — and how to reduce it• Removing PII and noncompliant training data• AI security at the model level• Why machine unlearning could become standard by 2030⸻If you're building, deploying, or investing in AI, this is a conversation you can't miss.

UPDATE: I have decided to start anew on Instagram. Follow me @thepaulsalter for your daily dose of high-performance wisdom, insights, and actions. In this episode, I sit down with Scott Fawcett for our third conversation—and this one goes far beyond strategy charts and strokes gained. We dig into what actually separates golfers who want to play good golf from those who are genuinely committed to winning. Scott shares unfiltered insights from working with elite players, his own experiences chasing professional golf, and the uncomfortable psychological traits that show up at the highest levels of performance. We explore obsession, selfishness, loving nerves, emotional regulation, meditation, and the hard truth that elite success often requires becoming someone most people are unwilling—or unable—to be. This conversation also weaves into life, parenting, money, identity, and how meditation and awareness prepare you for the inevitable storms both on and off the course. This is a raw, wide-ranging discussion about excellence, suffering, fulfillment, and what it really costs to pursue greatness. In this episode, you'll learn: The real mental difference between wanting to play well and being committed to winning Why elite golfers fall in love with monotony and repetition How "loving nerves" becomes a competitive advantage Why being "too nice" can quietly cap your potential How meditation builds emotional regulation under pressure Why reframing thoughts—not eliminating them—is the real work How defining success incorrectly sabotages long-term fulfillment Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Wanting to eliminate nerves is a losing strategy; learning to love them is essential. Being nice and being kind are not the same—and niceness often limits success. Winning requires emotional regulation, not emotional suppression. Thoughts only gain power when you attach to them and rehearse them. Meditation trains awareness that transfers directly into performance under pressure. Fulfillment comes from meaningful pursuit, not chasing pleasure or avoiding discomfort. Key Quotes: "Elite players don't try to get rid of nerves—they learn to love them." "You can't force yourself to be ruthless if it's not how you're wired." "Thoughts are just thoughts until you give them power." "If you don't meditate, you're probably meditating—just on the wrong things." "Winning isn't about outcomes; it's about getting one percent better every day." "Life is messy—and if it's not messy, it's lonely." "You're not the thinker of your thoughts; you're the observer of them."

Wisdom historian Deepak Ramola shares a conversation with Abhay how he collects life lessons through lived experiences and art.  Deepak reveals why trauma doesn't guarantee wisdom, why procrastination uncovers your deepest values, why deep questions truly matter, and why poetry is peace's love language.  He is a Stanford Life Design Fellow, MIT collaborator, TEDx speaker, and founder of Project FUEL. His innovative FUEL methodology—centered on turning personal and social experiences into interactive programs using creative arts—has earned recognition as one of the world's top 100 innovations in education, implemented across five continents. Since age 17, he has shaped this approach through heuristic design, including the Wise Wall Project launched in 2017 to amplify rural and marginalized voices via art and outreach. ​Chapters00:00 Introduction02:48 Procrastination Reveals Values and as a Science05:50 Productivity Syndrome Trap08:14 Good vs Bad Morality Myth11:44 Sponsor Break - TRAVELOPOD12:42 We Are Each Other's Alarm Clocks16:14 Unlearning for Wisdom20:02 Pain ≠ Automatic Wisdom23:28 Wisdom in Unexpected Places26:19 Sponsor Break - Timberdog27:12 Poetry as Peace Language33:23 Asking Growth Questions37:54 Embody Wisdom Daily38:19 ConclusionCheck out Ash Gondhalekar's authentic and incredibly tasty pizza wizardry for catering and private events in the Bay Area  Neil Dandekar creating amazing food experiences with Sea and Sky at Hotel La JollaTRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING is brought to you by TRAVELOPOD, with personalized travel support to help you explore the wonders of the world.  Start your next journey at vacation.travelopod.comThis episode is also sponsored by RuffRest® , the only dog bed you'll ever need.  Go to www.timberdog.com to learn more

In this special client-takeover episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, we hear from Dr. Ksera Dyette, a licensed clinical psychologist, private practice business coach, and podcaster whose work centers on liberation, equity, and values-aligned practice for Black social workers and psychologists.Dr. Ksera shares her deeply personal journey from graduate training in predominantly white institutions, through exploitation and harm in group practice settings, to building a private practice rooted in authenticity, sustainability, and liberation. Along the way, she unpacks how scarcity, white normativity, and oppression quietly shape how clinicians are trained to work, think about clients, and run businesses—often at the expense of their bodies, identities, and values.This episode goes beyond the “nuts and bolts” of private practice. It explores what it truly means to unlearn harmful systems, reclaim your voice, and build a business that supports both your clients and your own thriving.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow oppressive training environments shape clinicians long after graduationThe hidden cost of scarcity-driven private practice modelsWhy overworking and self-silencing are not personal failures, but learned survival strategiesHow group practices can exploit clinicians while undervaluing their ideas and laborWhat it means to build a liberation-centered, values-aligned private practiceHow racism, oppression, and internalized messages show up in business decisionsWhy centering identity, voice, and sustainability is essential for long-term practiceHow redefining success in private practice can restore health, integrity, and joyDr. Ksera introduces her year-long Boundless Liberation Private Practice Coaching Program, designed specifically for Black social workers and psychologists.This work includes:Private practice foundations and strategyValues-aligned policies, pricing, and accessibilityOne-to-one coaching and assessmentUnlearning scarcity and oppressive internal narrativesStrengthening your internal supervisorRebuilding identity and confidence as a clinician and business ownerCreating a practice that supports both liberation and financial sustainabilityThis program is for clinicians who are ready to move beyond survival and build practices that truly reflect who they are and who they serve.This conversation is especially for you if:You feel undervalued or exploited in a group practiceYou've tried to start a private practice but feel overwhelmed or stuckYou have a practice that isn't aligned with your values or identitiesYou want to center liberation, equity, and authenticity in your workYou're ready to stop shrinking yourself to fit oppressive systemsConnect with Dr. Ksera DyetteText or Call: +1 (617) 855-1243Instagram & TikTok: @theantiableistdocLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ksera-dyette/Let's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website

In this episode of Women & Wellbeing, Natalie is joined by Nicky Denson Elliott, founder of The Wilder Collective and host of The Women's Business Podcast, for an honest and eye-opening conversation about women, money and confidence. Together, they unpack the deep-rooted beliefs many women carry — from anti-female programming and internalised misogyny to the shame that still surrounds money, ambition and success. Nicky speaks candidly about the systemic lack of investment in female founders, and how these structures quietly reinforce self-doubt, undercharging and playing small to remain palatable. The conversation also explores the reality of building a business while raising children — the invisible labour, the constant negotiation of time and energy, and why women are still expected to make it all look effortless. At its heart, this episode is about awareness and agency. About recognising the stories we've inherited, questioning who they really serve, and learning how to build confidence — not just in business, but in our relationship with money and ourselves. Discussion includes: – Anti-female programming and limiting beliefs – Women, money shame and self-worth – The investment gap for female founders – Motherhood, business and invisible labour – Internalised misogyny and how it shows up – Building confidence and clarity around money This is a powerful conversation about reclaiming space, value and voice — and giving yourself permission to want more, including financial freedom. Listen now for an empowering, uplifting conversation that can help you advocate for yourself and push back against the ethos of good girl economics.

What does it really mean to practice love without ownership?In this episode of Sex on the Table, MoAndra sits down with Cady Moore, MPH, CSE — a sex educator, coach, and consultant specializing in embodiment, sexual health, and relationship diversity — to unpack the truths and myths of non-monogamy.Together, they explore how patriarchy, capitalism, and ableism shape our understanding of commitment, desire, and power; how non-monogamy can serve as both personal practice and political resistance; and what accountability looks like in love when we move beyond traditional scripts.Cady opens up about her own journey through polyamory, what emotional sustainability looks like when holding multiple relationships, and how neurodivergence and disability shift the conversation around access and intimacy.This conversation invites listeners—monogamous or not—to reimagine what it means to love freely, ethically, and intentionally.

What if silence in your team meetings isn't just about shyness or lack of ideas, but something everyone's been taught—often unconsciously—to protect themselves or others? In this episode, I sit down with Elaine Lin Hering, a top facilitator, global educator, and author of “Unlearning Silence,” to dig into the roots of silence and how leaders can transform it into true engagement.As the conversation kicks off, we tackle a fundamental leadership dilemma: despite constant encouragement to “speak up,” people often hold back. Why? Elaine reveals it's not just about courage or confidence. Silence is a learned survival strategy, which is often shaped by culture, hierarchy, and even unconscious organizational habits. Her own story, growing up as the youngest daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, shows how silence sneaks in early and sticks.Throughout the episode, we explore questions relating to real-world challenges such as how can you create a safe space for candor when your “resting face” or demeanour sets the wrong tone? Or, why do team members only give feedback after a decision is finalized. Elaine offers evidence-informed and practical answers to these situations.The takeaway is clear: Strong leadership means recognizing that silence is not always golden—and that by unlearning it, we unlock deeper connection, better decisions, and a future not bound by the past. What You'll Learn- Silence is learned… and it's often unintentional.- Unlearning silence is an ongoing process.- Explicit clarity is critical for leaders.- How to reframe your view of your voice.- The mode and medium of communication matter.- What is obvious to you may be the insight someone else is looking for.Podcast Timestamps(00:03) - The Origins of Unlearning Silence(05:46) - The Process of Unlearning Silence(09:10) - Agency and the Value of Voice(15:59) - The RACI Framework(19:16) - How Communication Mode and Process Influence Voice(24:10) - Surfacing Feedback and Pre-Empting Silence(32:08) - Imposter Syndrome or Imposter Treatment?(41:47) - When Is Silence Golden?(46:52) - Explicitly Creating Psychological SafetyKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Self-Awareness, Feedback, Personal Growth, Leading with Intention, Unlearning silence, Employee Voice, Power Dynamics, Decision-Making Frameworks, RACI Model, Team Communication, Self-Silencing, Imposter Syndrome, Psychological Safety, Personal Growth, CEO Success

In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to move out of survival mode. How your body can stay on edge even when your life has changed, and what it takes to relearn safety. It's a conversation about slowing down, releasing urgency, and allowing yourself to rest in the season you're in now.Connect with us:@herworkmatters_ @dbestevaaa@z.shanise Beat Provided By https://freebeats.io Produced By White Hot

In a world that's being transformed by AI agents and agentic systems, how do software developers unlearn what they know while also maintaining engineering rigor? In an in-person conversation with Nathen Harvey, Developer Relations Engineer at Google Cloud, and Patrick Debois, Developer Relations at Tessl, host Ken Mugrage dives into the ways individuals, teams and organizations are walking the line between experimentation and well-established engineering practices as they seek to innovate while ensuring resilience, reliability and security.

In this episode, I'm sharing — honestly and in real time — what I'm unlearning in this season of my life. Instead of adding more habits, tools, or “fixing,” I'm noticing how much of my growth right now is about unlearning old survival strategies that once kept me safe, but no longer fit who I'm becoming. This episode isn't a how-to or a checklist. It's a grounded, reflective conversation about nervous system safety, slowing down, and letting go of patterns that run on autopilot. In this episode, I talk about: Why growth doesn't always come from doing more — and how unlearning creates space How over-efforting and overcomplicating things were tied to my nervous system What it's been like to stop putting my needs last The difference between stepping away to regulate and avoiding — and why coming back matters How rushing shows up as a trauma response in my body, and what I'm learning instead Releasing the belief that I'm too sensitive, too much, or too different Why unlearning isn't mental work — it lives in the body How safety is rewired through small, everyday moments     MENTIONED My Book - The Delicate Art Of Transformation is now available! ✈️ Retreat Waitlist - Stay on the inside with the dates, location and waitlist only pricing! 

What if success isn't about scaling faster, shipping more, or chasing perfection — but about building something so honest it can last for generations?In this episode, I sit down with Gerry Khouri, Founder & Managing Director of Bufori, one of the world's longest-running handcrafted automobile companies. For nearly 40 years, Gerry has gone against almost every rule of modern business — choosing craftsmanship over scale, long-term thinking over short-term returns, and integrity over imitation.We explore what Gerry had to unlearn to stay in the game for decades: the myth of perfection, the pressure of shareholder expectations, and the idea that success must look a certain way. This conversation is a masterclass in leadership, product thinking, and building businesses that endure.Key TakeawaysPerfection is a fantasy — luxury is honesty. Products that last are built on integrity, not impossible standards.Success starts with finishing, not selling. The real win is building something real — everything else is a bonus.Craftsmanship scales through capability, not volume. Deep skills create optionality and diversification.The real competition isn't the market — it's yourself. Long-term builders focus on self-mastery, not rivals.Great businesses are built by people who challenge you, not agree with you.Additional InsightsGerry built his first car in a garage behind his house — bigger than the house itself — with no external funding.Bufori operates debt-free after nearly 40 years, an extreme outlier in modern manufacturing.The company makes more parts in-house than most car manufacturers, turning necessity into innovation.What started as survival-driven resourcefulness became multiple profit centers through engineering services.Leadership longevity comes from unlearning ego, listening deeply, and leading by example.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode RecapGerry Khouri reflects on a pivotal realization: perfection doesn't build lasting products — honesty, craftsmanship, and long-term thinking do. This mindset reshaped how he built cars, teams, and a business designed to outlive him.02:15 – Guest Introduction: Gerry KhouriBarry introduces Gerry Khouri, founder of Bufori, a handcrafted automobile company that has spent nearly four decades defying the rules of modern manufacturing.04:14 – Building the First Car Against All OddsGerry shares how a backyard hobby, relentless passion, and going against everyone's advice led him to build his first car from nothing.07:10 – Redefining What Success Really MeansSuccess wasn't about money or validation — it was about starting something and finishing it, no matter the odds.11:54 – Leading Without ResourcesWith no books, no mentors, and no capital, Gerry explains how necessity forced invention and deep mastery of craft.19:50 – Unlearning Perfectionism in a Luxury BusinessWhy perfection is an illusion, and how focusing on luxury, durability, and intention keeps products moving forward.23:12 – What Craftsmanship Actually Looks LikeGerry breaks down what it means to truly “make” a product — from designing for repairability to building for generations.27:29 – Competing With Yourself, Not the MarketThe most dangerous competitor isn't another company — it's complacency and losing the hunger to improve.31:10 – Unlearning Shareholder-First ThinkingWhy prioritizing...

Over the past 160 episodes, two themes that have appeared repeatedly feel as relevant and urgent as ever are 1) the pros and dehumanizing cons of technology and 2) approaching suffering in the human experience. In this episode, we are excited to bring back a panel of notable past guests to discuss the interplay between medicine, suffering, technology, and the human experience. We are joined by historian Christine Rosen, PhD, philosopher Mikolaj Slawkowski-Rode, PhD, and palliative care physician Sunita Puri, MD. Rosen is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute whose work is focused on American history, society and culture, technology and culture, and feminism. Slawkowski-Rode is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Warsaw and research fellow at the University of Oxford with a current emphasis on the philosophy of science and religion. Dr. Puri is a palliative care physician, associate professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, and author of the critically acclaimed book That Good Night (2019). As a panel, we consider a prominent aspect of the unwritten curriculum of medicine: how medicine often considers suffering and sorrow to be fixable and their eradication to be a metric of medical success. We explore ways digital technology can make our lives easier without making them better, and the pressing need to define and defend the (non-digital) human experience. We propose that the goal is not to eradicate all suffering, but to reduce needless suffering without denying the forms that accompany love, growth, and moral responsibility. When suffering is treated as an intolerable defect, we can become preoccupied with self-protection and less available to one another. The first and most important gift a caregiver can give is their undivided attention and the biggest mistake we can make in medicine is turning away from suffering. Finally, we ponder if for both patients and physicians, life, in the end, is meant to be a mystery.In this episode, you'll hear about: 6:37 – Unlearning preconceived perspectives on suffering, technology, and human experience. 13:08 – Engaging with digital technology critically instead of presuming that technological progress is inherently good.19:28 – Suffering as an irradicable and sometimes necessary element of the human condition.27:50 – Helping young terminal patients grapple with their diagnosis as a palliative care doctor. 36:36 – How the pursuit of immortality can lead to moral sickness.47:08 – How digital technologies are inciting a collective disembodiment from reality.53:15 – Practices that will positively impact the modern lived experience.Explore our guests' past episodes on The Doctor's Art: Human Experience in A Digital World | Christine Rosen, PhDA Philosophy of Grief | Mikolaj Slawkowski-Rode, PhDThe Beauty of Impermanence | Sunita Puri, MDIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show wherever you get your podcasts.

On this episode, Leah explores how generational messages have taught women to feel shame about their changing bodies—from tight jeans and bodysuits in the 80s and 90s to today's high-waisted shorts and leggings. She reflects on growing up hyperaware of every outline and curve, and how that discomfort still echoes when she sees her own daughter getting dressed. Through personal stories, a feminist lens on choice and self-expression, and a look at how media and beauty culture have policed women's bodies, Leah asks what it means to stop hiding, stop apologizing, and allow girls and women to exist in their bodies without embarrassment. In the end, she celebrates a new generation that seems less interested in shrinking themselves and more interested in living fully, visibly, and unapologetically in the skin they're in.Follow Leah: @prof.leahruppanner Hosted on Acast.

If you're struggling with food noise, rebound eating, or fear of "normal eating" after a bodybuilding show (or years of extreme dieting), this episode is your reset. We'll cover how to eat normally after prep, rebuild food trust, reduce binge urges, and transition away from tracking macros without losing control. Welcome to Boss Bitch Radio. I'm Diane Flores, and I help retired bodybuilders, former competitors, and extreme dieters stop living like they're still in diet season - so they can stay athletic, hot, and healthy without food fear, food noise, or massive rebound chaos. In this episode, we're diving into how to eat normally after a bodybuilding show, why post-show nutrition feels so damn hard, and what actually causes rebound eating after show (hint: it's not a lack of willpower). If you've ever gained weight rapidly after a show, struggled with binge eating after prep, or felt stuck tracking every bite because you're terrified to stop, this conversation will hit home. Even if you've never stepped on stage, if you've dieted like you were prepping for one, this episode will resonate. This is about repairing your relationship with food, recovering from extreme dieting, and learning how to eat like a normal, confident human again - not someone still trapped in prep brain.

In this wide-ranging and deeply pragmatic conversation, Dr. Wayne Pernell sits down with Mark Stouse—founder and CEO of Proof Causal AI—to explore what actually drives outcomes in business and life. Together, they unpack the critical difference between correlation and causation, why most patterns we notice don't matter, and how leaders can reclaim agency in a world where 70–80% of factors are outside their control.Blending philosophy, math, leadership insight, and real-world examples, this episode challenges conventional thinking about truth, belief, intuition, and effectiveness—while offering leaders a radically practical way forward. Key Topics & Insights • Causality vs. Correlation: Why understanding why things happen matters more than spotting patterns • The 70–80% Reality: Most outcomes are shaped by factors outside your control—what matters is how you respond • Three Universal Leadership Questions: ∘ How do I get more of what matters? ∘ How do I make it better? ∘ How do I do it faster? • Reality Over “Truth”: Why belief can shut down progress—and why reality is the true decision-maker • Unlearning: Letting go of outdated knowledge as a leadership superpower • Time Lag Effects: Why good decisions take time to show results—and bad ones don't • Efficiency vs. Effectiveness: Why cutting costs without direction misses the point • Agency Without Illusion: Doing your best, acting with integrity, and releasing control of outcomes • Intuition, Instinct, and GIGO: How flawed data sets lead to consistently bad decisions • Radical Pragmatism: Making better decisions without over-philosophizing the processMark Stouse is the founder and CEO of Proof Causal AI, and one of today's most thoughtful voices on causality, fiduciary risk, and executive accountability. Known for blending rigorous mathematics with radical pragmatism, Mark helps leaders make better, defensible decisions in complex, rapidly changing environments. He is also the author of an upcoming book on Unlearning.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Parham for one of the most vulnerable conversations I've ever recorded.We explore how Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome doesn't just live in history—but in habits, coping mechanisms, and quiet forms of self-hatred we normalize every day. I openly unpack my own relationship with smoking—not as a moral failure, but as a learned survival behavior shaped by unexamined agreements with myself.Blending insights from Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome and the audiobook The Four Agreements, this conversation moves beyond theory into embodiment—what it actually looks like to heal in real time. We talk about how self-hatred can disguise itself as comfort, routine, or “just the way I am,” and how vulnerability becomes the gateway to self-respect, clarity, and freedom.This episode isn't about shame.It's about awareness.It's about unlearning.It's about choosing to live in integrity with yourself—one honest moment at a time.If you're ready to listen deeply, reflect courageously, and begin rewriting the agreements you've unknowingly been living by, this conversation is for you.

Alex Thomson (APC) is a therapist in Atlanta, Georgia. He specializes in OCD and anxiety. In his free time, he enjoys birding, cooking, and contributing to the @talktherapywithalex Instagram page, where he enjoys blending levity and humor with educational content. In this episode, we both share our personal experiences toward becoming therapists, and normalize that there's no one path when it comes to entering the field or showing up online. We discuss the pressures of showing up as a therapist in "one" way - confident, "healed," put-together, etc. We also explore what it can look like to show up authentically (and how that looks different for everyone), how showing up imperfectly can create deeper connection, and the complexity of holding space for vulnerability while being ethical and thoughtful of the client's experience.FOLLOW ALEX:INSTA: @talktherapywithalexWEBSITE: www.talktherapywithalex.comSTAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveTHREADS: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

SummaryIn this episode, Dr. Natalie explores the concept of 'The Great Unlearning,' a transformative journey that challenges the societal belief that doing everything right leads to a fulfilling life. She reflects on her personal experiences, particularly during midlife, where she realized that striving for perfection and external validation often leads to burnout and disillusionment. Dr. Natalie emphasizes the importance of self-worth and the need to reclaim it from within, rather than through external achievements or approval. Through poignant anecdotes, she illustrates how the pressure to conform to societal expectations can lead to a double life and emotional turmoil, ultimately advocating for a shift towards self-love and acceptance.Dr. Natalie introduces the metaphor of the tugboat versus the lighthouse to illustrate the difference between exhausting oneself in the pursuit of perfection and standing firm in one's self-worth. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives, identifying where they may be sacrificing their well-being in the name of doing everything right. The episode serves as a powerful reminder that true fulfillment comes from within, and that midlife can be an opportunity for profound personal growth and self-discovery.Keywords:midlife, self-worth, personal growth, self-love, great unlearning, emotional well-being, tugboat lighthouse metaphor, reclaiming self-worth, Dr. NatalieTakeaways:The version of you that you're most proud of may be blocking your actual life.Midlife can be an invitation to examine the mess of our lives and love it as it is.Reclaiming self-worth from the inside out is essential for true fulfillment.Sound bites:"What if I told you that the version of you that you're most proud of... is in the way of your actual life?""Today we're gonna talk about the great unlearning.""You do not need to fix yourself.

From graduate engineer to CTO, Andrew Phillips' 16-year journey at Skyscanner is a story of continuous reinvention. He didn't chase titles—he chased growth, deliberately stepping out of his comfort zone and unlearning the habits that no longer served him. What's kept him at the company for over a decade isn't status, but challenge: new teams, unfamiliar problems, and the chance to stay close to the work, even as his scope of leadership expanded.In this episode, we explore how Andrew is now applying that same mindset to leading in the AI era—personally and professionally. He shares how he's built a personal AI stack to stay more present, how Skyscanner is blurring traditional team roles to unlock speed, and why “directed autonomy” is more important than ever.

It is our honor and privilege to have Charles on the podcast with us today.  Many of you have maybe already spoken to Charles. He serves as one of our Clarity Advisors here at Delight Your Marriage and has done an incredible job of listening to your stories and giving you next steps, but most importantly, giving you hope. What you might not know about Charles is that he spent many years as a very successful businessman. I mean, he was (and is!) a force! And that's what people saw on the outside: 40 years in business, two homes, active in ministry, a wife of 3o years, two grown children. Everything looked perfect. But it wasn't the full picture. "On Paper, We Had Everything… But We Were Just Roommates" The full picture was that Charles was in pain.  His marriage was suffering. He felt like they had become roommates and the intimacy and connection wasn't there. His daughter, after watching her parents fight yet again, brought up to him that "all you and mom do is fight". She didn't feel safe and their relationship was strained, so much so that she even mentioned she would prefer he not be the one to solely walk her down the aisle when the day came. There was pain, true pain.  That moment with his daughter became a turning point.  He cried out to God. And God answered. Finding the Delight Your Marriage Podcast Charles found the Delight Your Marriage podcast—and after only two episodes, he booked a Clarity Call and jumped in. What followed wasn't easy. It required humility. Repentance. Unlearning cultural "norms" that were never biblical to begin with. But what he discovered was sobering and freeing all at once: Being a provider is not the same as being present Strength without gentleness hardens the heart Leadership without humility blocks intimacy—with your spouse and with God And slowly—steadily—everything began to change. When a Daughter Finally Feels Safe One of the most profound transformations wasn't just in Charles' marriage—it was in his relationship with his daughter. Years earlier, she had told him, "Why can't you be like my friend's dad?" Instead of defending himself, Charles did something radically different. He listened. He apologized and owned the pain he had caused. And he stayed emotionally present instead of shutting down, like he had done in the past. That conversation marked the beginning of healing. Fast forward to this past Christmas, two years after starting this program, his daughter handed him a card. Inside, she wrote: "Every day you bless me so abundantly with peace and security of knowing you have me… I hope my future husband is even half of what you are to me." That card became the most valuable gift Charles has ever received, and he saw, even more, how the changes he had made changed the trajectory of his family. A Marriage Built on The Rock Charles often says something that shocks people: "I would give it all away for a shack on a rock if it meant having what we have now." Why? Because before, his marriage was built on cardboard and duct tape, as he says. Cultural assumptions, pride, and survival mode. Now, it's built on the Rock. Biblical wisdom. Daily repentance. Practical tools. Accountability. Peace. Life Now as a Clarity Advisor Charles' story doesn't end with his own marriage. Today, he serves as a Clarity Advisor, walking alongside other men and women who feel stuck, hopeless, or unsure where to begin. He's seen: Wives move back into homes after separation Pornography addictions broken Years-long intimacy restored Homes transformed by peace And now, pastors are bringing Delight Your Marriage Academy into their churches—because the need is everywhere, including globally. Final Encouragement Now, two years later, Charles' marriage is completely transformed, his relationship with his daughter is completely transformed, and he, himself, is completely transformed. God has truly turned mourning into dancing. This is not a one-off event. This is the God we serve–who heals marriages and changes lives, who heals hearts and minds, who redeems families and generations. He cares. He cares deeply about Charles and answered his cry.  And He cares about you. If you are waiting for an answer from God, maybe this is the answer. Maybe calling and taking that next step is the answer. We are rooting for you and we love you. God bless you! Blessings, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - If you want to take the next step and chat with our incredible Clarity Advisors, like Charles, schedule a free Clarity Call here. We would love to talk with you. PPS - Here is a quote from a recent DYM Academy graduate:  "I thought this was well presented and very comprehensive.  The clarity of what women need to be safe, known and wholeheartedly cherished was spot on. I understood the basics but seeing it formalized was really beneficial to me. The listening skills and the way they were presented cannot be overstated."
