When a conversation gets stuck, most people try to win. That only sinks both people deeper. In this episode, I break down how to recognize when a conversation has lost traction, name what happened without blaming the other person, and get back on track without shutting anyone down. We talk about the phrases that help you move from repeating the same argument to finding clarity, why bringing up the past is not always the problem, and how to refocus on what you are actually trying to solve together.

Do Intrusive Thoughts Last Forever? Here's What Actually Makes Them StickIf you've ever been told "you're just going to have these thoughts forever, you'll have to learn to cope," this episode is for you. Matt Codde, LCSW breaks down why that advice is not only wrong, it's part of what keeps people stuck in the OCD and anxiety loop.Matt explains the real difference between a thought that's neutral and a thought that feels intrusive — and it has nothing to do with the content of the thought itself. Once you understand what's actually driving the intrusive experience, you stop fighting a battle you were never going to win.Get started here: app.restoredminds.com

In this high-impact episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Jay Abbasi, global keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, coach, and former Tesla leader, to explore how professionals can thrive under intense pressure with clarity, energy, and purpose instead of running on empty.At Tesla, Jay led national training programs for over 1,000 employees, and has since coached leaders at Google, Amazon, TikTok, Wells Fargo, and more. As host of the top-rated podcast Unstuck with Jay Abbasi, and featured in Forbes Founder, Authority Magazine, and Medium, Jay blends corporate experience with deep expertise in mindfulness, resilience, and wellbeing to help high performers find their voice again when pressure threatens to silence it.

What does it look like to be truly stuck in life? In Judges 6, we encounter the nation of Israel living out a painful cycle: compromise leads to crisis, crisis leads to crying out, and God responds with deliverance. But here is what makes this passage so striking, before God sends a deliverer, he sends a prophet to confront the heart. The message is clear: God is less interested in changing our circumstances than in changing us.Fear has a way of relocating us, shrinking our lives down to the size of what we are afraid of. This message calls us to examine whether we have built our lives around our fears rather than around our faith, and to ask honestly: where have we drifted, and what has quietly taken the place of God in our hearts?

You've had clients who are stuck and can't explain why. Bob Sima has a tool that gets them moving, and it's not what you'd expect.I sit down with Bob Sima, a transformational singer, songwriter, and creator of the Song of Your Soul method. Bob uses songwriting as a tool for personal growth, emotional integration, and inner work. He's made ten award-winning albums and now he turns that same lens toward the people he coaches.In this conversation, Bob shares how he spends weeks in deep conversation with a client, listening not just to what they say but to what they can't quite get out. He then writes them a song that reflects the full arc of their inner work back to them. The result is something that lands in a way that words alone rarely do.You'll hear the story of how this all started. A grieving widow, a celebration of life, and one moment that changed everything Bob thought he knew about how to help someone.Bob also shares practical ideas for coaches. You don't need to write songs. You can pull one of his Oracle cards with a client, play a song, and let them lie down and listen. Coaches using this approach say their clients are in tears before a single word is spoken. That's the power of music used with intention.Trust the music. Trust your creativity. Trust that there's more than one door into a client's heart.Grab the free course, Stop Guessing and Start Signing Clients, and start building a coaching business that's actually yours: https://candymotzek.lpages.co/vfo/Want to see what's actually working for coaches right now?

Matt Codde, LCSW sits down with Carly, a member of the Restored Minds community, to talk honestly about what it's like to live inside a sleep anxiety loop, and what actually got her out of it.Carly walks through her own descent into relentless hypnic jerks, the compulsions she didn't even realize were compulsions (bedtime routines built on fear, checking the clock, seeking reassurance from her husband), and the belief that was quietly running the whole show: that a bad night of sleep meant a ruined day. This isn't a sleep hygiene episode. It's a conversation about fear, control, and what it actually means to trust your body to do what it already knows how to do.

Is Medication Right for Your OCD? A Psychiatrist Breaks Down SSRIs, Dosing, and What Actually WorksIf you've ever wondered whether medication could help your OCD or anxiety, or you've tried an SSRI and felt like "nothing worked," this episode is for you. Matt Codde, LCSW sits down with Dr. Melissa Quinn, a triple board certified psychiatrist who specializes in OCD treatment, for a full breakdown of how medication actually works, why so many people are underdosed, and how medication and therapy work together rather than against each other.Dr. Quinn walks through SSRIs, clomipramine, augmentation strategies, and common myths (including the cannabis conversation you don't want to miss), while Matt reframes ERP through the Restored Minds lens of emotional integration rather than symptom elimination.

Why Your Subconscious Keeps You Stuck: Dr. Lise Janelle on the Heart Freedom Method Episode Description What if the thing holding you back is not a lack of discipline, willpower, knowledge, or effort? In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with Dr. Lise Janelle, a former chiropractor, peak performance coach, author, speaker, and creator of the Heart Freedom Method. Dr. Lise explains how subconscious beliefs can shape performance, relationships, business, money, health, and the way people respond to challenges. She shares why someone can consciously want success, love, healing, or growth while another part of them quietly associates that goal with danger, rejection, conflict, or loss. Through stories from athletes, entrepreneurs, relationships, and her own life, Dr. Lise shows how old childhood interpretations can become adult patterns. A skier who subconsciously associated winning with hurting others. A successful woman whose body reacted when she felt unheard. A chiropractor who feared success might threaten her marriage. These examples all point to the same deeper question: what story is your subconscious trying to protect you from? Stephanie and Dr. Lise also talk about self-sabotage, procrastination, victim patterns, worthiness, yin and yang, relationships, nervous system reactions, the difference between forcing and flowing, and why challenges may be guiding us toward growth. This is a conversation about getting unstuck, listening to the heart, and learning how to work with the subconscious mind instead of fighting against it. This episode is for education and reflection only. It is not a substitute for medical care, mental health care, trauma therapy, relationship counseling, or individualized professional support.

What keeps teams stuck in the same conversations without making real progress? In this episode, Kevin talks with Gustavo Razzetti about why teams avoid the conversations that matter most and how leaders can help them move forward. Gustavo shares that silence often happens not just because people feel unsafe, but because speaking up feels pointless when nothing changes. They discuss the difference between backward talk (blame, avoidance, and groupthink) and forward talk, which helps teams address real issues, learn, and act. Gustavo also introduces the idea of conversational debt, the price teams pay for the questions they don't ask, the ideas they don't share, and the issues they avoid. Kevin and Gustavo discuss the three types of this debt: alignment debt, belonging debt, and collaboration debt, and why leaders must continually validate alignment, welcome healthy dissent, and create space for real progress. They also touch on how AI can amplify existing team dynamics, making groupthink and misalignment even more costly.

Of all the awful things that happened to Dana Killion, from the loss of her son, parents and a divorce, she shows such courage, forward thinking and resilience.  From this conversation, learn that relief and healing are not the same.  You are not healed if you are still bitter and angry. Think about closure. Something happened to you. God is not going to come down and tell you this was meant to be.   Discover how to become UNSTUCK.   Answer the WHY.   Buy the book Becoming Unmistakeable wherever books are sold. Danakillion.com is her website.  She inspires us to MOVE on. The Choice is Ours.Read More!Unbreakable. That's a big ask. It's bigger than what we view as healed, and it's beyond mere survival.We deserve and are worthy of more than just relief.Written in blisteringly unflinching prose, Becoming Unbreakable is simultaneously a companion to therapy, a warm-up to deeper healing, and a breathtaking dissection of the traumas that underline our lives—but which don't have to define us.Within an eight-year period, author Dana Killion broke free from an addictive marriage with a husband who harbored a secret life, suffered the loss of both of her parents, and endured the death of her oldest son from fentanyl. Emerging and finding a way through, despite the ossifying effects of grief, Killion transformed her life and became unbreakable. Her process for this becoming is carefully detailed, providing guidance, support, and, crucially, a path forward.In sharing her story and the framework of her metamorphosis, Killion addresses foundational questions that get to the heart of our traumatic responses: Why do some of us become hollow shells of the person we were, even after therapy? How do some of us process our grief more smoothly and carry on? How do we become someone scarred, but not forever broken?Trauma doesn't have to win. The choice is ours.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Arguing for Your Limitations: 9 Self-Limiting Beliefs Keeping You Stuck in OCD, Anxiety & FearIf you feel like you've been "trying to heal" for years but keep landing in the same place, this episode is for you. Matt Codde, LCSW breaks down the most common ways we unconsciously build a case for why we can't change, grow, or heal, and why admitting "I was wrong" might be the most powerful phrase in your recovery.This isn't about blame. It's about awareness. Matt walks through nine self-limiting beliefs he's seen (and lived through himself) that keep people trapped in OCD, anxiety, fear loops, and chronic suffering, from blaming time and money to hiding behind personality, family, and spirituality.If you or someone you love has been stuck in the OCD or anxiety cycle and can't figure out why nothing seems to stick, this conversation will help you see what's really in the way.

In this latest episode, Dr. Dan sits down with Jay Abbasi, a keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, coach, and host of the podcast Unstuck. In 2014, the sudden loss of Jay's father stopped him cold. He was successful on paper, climbing the ranks at Tesla and running on autopilot, and that loss became the wake-up call that moved him toward a life built around purpose, presence, and service instead of just achievement. Jay and Dr. Dan get into what it actually takes to change an old pattern: the self-awareness to notice it, and the courage to do something different. They talk about how mindfulness helps you respond to life instead of reacting to it, why our brains can build new pathways at any age, and how real change usually starts with catching the thoughts and stories running quietly in the background. They also dig into manifestation, mindset, and our attachment to outcomes, including the gap between chasing success and living with intention. Jay shares the story behind his TEDx talk, the disappointment along the way that tested his own resilience, and the practice he keeps coming back to: we don't always get to choose what happens, but we can choose how we relate to it. It's an honest conversation about the fact that purpose isn't only found in what we accomplish. It's found in how present we are, how we treat people, and the small choices we make every day. In this episode, Dr. Dan and Jay talk about: The loss that shifted the direction of Jay's life Waking up from autopilot and choosing to live on purpose How grief can open the door to growth Responding to life instead of reacting to it Why attachment to outcomes can quietly lead to burnout How focus and visualization actually work in the brain Building new habits and new mental pathways The power of the story you tell yourself Living with purpose without losing presence For more information visit jayabbasi.me and follow @jayabbasi_ on Instagram.

Betrayal is something that no one is prepared for. Whether you've been betrayed by a relative, close friend, or spouse, these traumatic experiences can leave lasting emotional and physical wounds.

Nervous System Hijacked by Approval: Approval Addiction, Chronic Self Abandonment, and Chasing ControlIn this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW, explores what happens when your nervous system is hijacked by approval and you slowly slip into chronic self abandonment. He breaks down how approval addiction and tolerance for destruction quietly erode your sense of safety, shrink your world, and create the loss of authentic relationships—even while you look like “the good person” on the outside.Matt then turns to control, describing how we end up chasing a phantom called certainty and living in the illusion of playing God. He shows how fear convinces you that control equals safety, while in reality it leads to the erosion of creativity and spontaneity and a growing tolerance for destruction in your relationships, experiences, and everyday life.If you're stuck in OCD, anxiety, people pleasing, or constant worry about what others think, this conversation will help you see the deeper fear loops behind your symptoms. It's an invitation to stop abandoning yourself for approval and control, and begin living from authenticity, trust, and genuine connection.

The 5 Hidden Payoffs of Fear That Keep OCD and Anxiety Loops RunningMost people assume fear is just something that happens to them. In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW and founder of Restored Minds, explains why part of the mind actually believes it's benefiting from staying afraid, and why that belief is what keeps the fear loop running.Matt breaks down 5 "secondary gains", the hidden payoffs of safety, control, identity, pain avoidance, and self-justification that quietly convince you fear is protecting you. He walks through real examples (driving anxiety, health anxiety, relationship fears, money fears) showing how fear often creates the exact outcome it claims to prevent.If you've ever wondered why you can't just "stop worrying," this episode explains the piece that usually gets missed: you can't let go of fear until you're willing to let go of what you believe it's giving you.

Stop waiting for OCD and anxiety to change before you do — here's why the shift has to come from within first.If you've been stuck in the loop of OCD or anxiety for a long time, there's a good chance something deeper is keeping you there: victim consciousness. In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW breaks down why seeing yourself as a victim to OCD, anxiety, or fear keeps you perpetuating the very state you want to escape. Real recovery isn't about finding the right technique or waiting for symptoms to disappear. It's about a fundamental shift in how you see yourself and your role in your own healing.Whether you've been struggling for months or years, this episode will challenge you to look honestly at the paradigm you're operating from and explain why consciousness, not circumstance, is where lasting change begins. Matt draws from real-world examples and his own personal experience to walk you through what it actually means to move from victim to someone actively claiming their own recovery.

In this year's survey, we asked pastors and church leaders to tell us about the biggest staffing and structure challenges their churches are facing. And it's clear that there are some big hurdles churches are working to navigate. These hurdles are real, but as many churches have shown, there's also a clear path through them. And this year, it's visible in the data. In this episode, Sean breaks down the staffing data and trends we're seeing in churches this quarter: The biggest staffing challenges The hardest role to fill right now The strategy for a lean but healthy staff Exclusive interview with Todd Rhoades from Chemistry Staffing   This Episode is Sponsored by Chemistry Staffing Chemistry Staffing is a church search firm helping churches across the country hire healthy pastors and ministry staff who stay. Led by experienced pastors and church leaders, we match every role across the five areas that predict long-term fit: theology, culture, personality, skills, and chemistry.

If you have OCD or anxiety and you can't stop seeking reassurance, you are not alone and you are not broken. Whether it's Googling, calling loved ones, or mentally reviewing events over and over, reassurance seeking feels necessary in the moment. But it keeps you stuck. In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW explains exactly why reassurance seeking is so hard to stop, and what you actually need to do instead.The problem is not willpower. The mistake most people make is trying to stop the behavior without addressing the inner emotional pressure that is driving it. When you just stop seeking reassurance without working on what is underneath, the anxiety doesn't go away. It shifts. You end up with a new theme, a new compulsion, or a new obsession, and the cycle continues.True recovery from OCD and anxiety means learning to confront and metabolize the emotions underneath the compulsion, not just stopping the behavior on the surface. This episode walks you through the core mindset shift that makes that possible.

Send us Fan MailYour phone rings during family time and suddenly the room changes. The conversation stops, your attention splits, and you can feel the distance grow in real time. We start with a client story that lands like a punch to the chest: his kid goes quiet because they assume he will take the call. That single moment reveals what most “break the habit” plans miss, and why putting your phone away is not a technical problem you solve with an app, a timer, or sheer discipline.We dig into the belief-level drivers that keep the habit running even when the stakes feel painfully clear. One belief says that talking about the issue with your partner will create more disconnection, so you avoid the conversation and stay stuck. Another belief says that if you don't respond immediately, you could lose a client and risk your ability to provide, which keeps your mind on alert even when you're physically at home. Marc and Teresa walk through the coaching questions that flip those assumptions and open up a different path, including how to ask your spouse for help and how “call me forward” creates accountability without shame.Then we take on the fear behind boundaries at work. What if not answering at 8 or 9pm doesn't cost you respect but earns it? What if it helps you filter for the right clients and model the kind of leadership and work life balance they want for themselves? We close with two prompts to sit with so you can spot the story fueling your old actions and test a new one that makes the better choice feel natural.If you want more conversations like this, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a boundary reset, and leave a review so more leaders can find us.Want to show up as the best version of you in the moments that matter most?Start by taking our 2-minute quiz at modernleadership.us/quiz!Are trying everything, but you keep coming up against the same wall and nothing seems to be working?Are you putting in the action and energy, but nothing is improving?If so, that's what we built our "How to get Unstuck" quiz for.Start by taking our 2-minute quiz at modernleadership.us/quiz. It's not about putting in more energy or action, it's about finding out what's actually keeping you stuck.

Your girl is in one of the most transformative seasons of her life - including my Saturn return gettin' started, a complete identity unraveling (back to 'factory settings' and who I really am), and (yay happy news!!)- getting engaged. And in the midst of it allll since last Fall, I realized something I never saw coming: I had become so good at optimizing my life/success that I accidentally optimized myself out of my true 100% genuine self expression & joy. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the surprising subconscious patterns that shaped my ambition, how/why my body started speaking louder than my mind ever could, and the profound difference between your survival identity and your true essence. If you've ever felt like you're performing your life instead of fully living it, or existing too in your 'head' and the 'strategy' of it all instead of the authentic pleasure of this life experience for the sake of LIFE ITSELF, this conversation will help you come home to the version of you that is TRUEST.  PSSST - some serious breakthough questions at the end of this episode for ya, GRAB YOUR JOURNAL!!!!!   ⭐️  Join us in Dreamaway TO TAP ON THISSSS (see below) + for so many resources to help you get UNSTUCK including 40+ Dreamaway-exclusive tapping sessions (90 minutes of deep-dive subconscious rewiring/EFT tapping), visualizations, 40+ tapping "Money Dates" (abundance programming), daily tapping videos, weekly energy readings, astrological updates, and so much more! https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/dreamaway I ALWAYS KNEW: From Who You Had to Be, to Who You Always Were | Saturday, June 20th 1:00-2:30pm ET This session is about returning to YOU. Not the optimized version of you… not your 'survival identity' who learned to perform, succeed, people-please, shape-shift, or stay palatable. We're talkin' the REAL you. The one who has existed underneath all the conditioning the entire time and looks a lot like your preteen self, dreaming big for your beautiful life.   We're going deep on the subtle identities we unconsciously built in order to be loved, chosen, safe, impressive, productive, "good," or successful… and clearing the exhaustion of carrying versions of yourself that were never fully true. Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned to disconnect from our natural desires, our creativity, our softness, our weirdness, our joy, our bigness, our voice in order to 'win approval' or 'stay safe'. This session is the return…. And the reactivation of best case scenario future envisioning, on YOUR unique terms. No one else's. Time to step back onto your custom blueprint life timeline and experience more success and bliss than ever as a result.

If you've been struggling with OCD or anxiety for a long time and feel like nothing is working, this episode may reveal why. Matt Codde, LCSW explains why self-rejection is one of the most overlooked barriers to healing, and how learning to be more loving toward yourself is not a self-help cliche, but a clinical cornerstone of lasting OCD recovery.This episode applies to anyone dealing with OCD, anxiety, chronic pain, or any pattern of internal resistance. Whether you are in active ERP therapy or just beginning to understand your OCD cycle, the message here is one that most people have never heard in quite this way.If you have spent years trying to eliminate thoughts, manage anxiety, or "get better" before giving yourself permission to rest, recover, or even feel okay, this one is for you. Matt walks through the specific ways people with OCD are unloving to themselves without realizing it, and what the path toward integration and true healing actually looks like

We're Marc and Teresa, and we're digging into why that happens, how your brain grabs familiar stories under stress, and how to close the gap between who you are in comfort and who you want to be when it counts.We talk about how identity labels trap us (“I'm just an angry person”), why reactions are often a perspective problem rather than a discipline problem, and how one split-second thought can hijack your tone, your leadership presence, and your relationships. Mark shares an embarrassing but honest breaking point story that became a lifelong reminder: the issue isn't knowing better, it's that “knowing” stops working when emotion takes the wheel.From leadership coaching to parenting to marriage, we break down why you can be composed with a client yet reactive with family, how belief systems and expectations shape your default, and why chasing tactics and scripts won't fix an internal mindset issue.

If you've tried ERP, meditation, supplements, and every tool you can find but still feel stuck, the problem likely isn't the tools. It's the belief you're bringing to them. In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW breaks down why approaching OCD and anxiety recovery from a "fix the problem" mindset actually reinforces the cycle and what to do instead.Most people with intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, and anxiety come at recovery from a place of internal resistance, a belief that their thoughts and feelings are wrong, broken, or bad. But that belief is the root of the loop. Matt explains how the Triple-A Response™ and tools like ERP are designed not to eliminate thoughts and feelings, but to create non-resistance, so that emotion can move through the nervous system naturally and completely.This episode reframes what recovery actually looks like and how to measure real progress. If you've been asking "why am I not getting better?" this episode will shift how you understand the work entirely.
