Regulation is not being calm, checking a million boxes, or looking a certain way on the outside. The real definition of regulation is developing self-trust, adaptability, and the ability to stay with yourself rather than disassociate emotionally when life gets hard.In this episode, we'll explore how every emotion is a message, and every message draws the path forward to the success you're after in your business, your relationships, and your life. Regulation is not something you can see on the outside, it's all about what is happening on the inside. TOPICS WE EXPLORE:Why the aesthetic version of regulation is toxicWhat regulation actually isWhy doing something because you should gives you zero results How to use our emotions as the messages they are The self-coaching loop and somatic framework I always useA permission slip to redefine regulation in a way that actually serves youTHE POINT:Regulation is the speed with which you recover from the challenging parts of life. It's self-trust, adaptability, and the ability to stay with yourself when things get hard (none of which you can see from the outside). MENTIONED:Episode 191: The Internet Made Hustle a Dirty WordFit with Coco: Ash's go-to workoutBusiness Therapy: Ash's one-on-one coachingAre you loving it?

Alcohol consumption in the United States is declining. Gallup reports that only 54% of Americans now drink — the lowest level recorded in decades — and nearly half of Americans say they are actively trying to drink less.On the surface, this sounds like clear progress.But in this episode, Molly explores an important question raised by Dr. Adi Jaffe in a recent article: Are we truly becoming more emotionally resilient… or are we simply swapping one escape route for another?As cannabis use rises alongside declining alcohol consumption, it's worth examining whether substitution equals transformation — or whether real change requires something deeper.This episode unpacks the cultural shift away from alcohol, the rise in cannabis use, and the critical distinction between behavioral change and emotional growth.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The latest statistics on declining alcohol consumption in the U.S.Why cannabis use is increasing as alcohol use declinesWhat research says about cannabis use and alcohol reductionThe difference between substitution and emotional resilienceWhy simply replacing alcohol doesn't necessarily change your relationship with discomfortHow psychological dependence operates beneath surface-level behavior changeThe core beliefs that often drive alcohol useA simple self-reflection exercise to assess your own coping patternsKey Statistics Discussed54% of Americans report drinking alcohol (Gallup 2025)Nearly half of Americans are trying to drink less65% of Gen Z plans to cut down or abstain from alcoholApproximately 178,000 alcohol-related deaths occur annually in the U.S.41% of young adults report cannabis use in the past year29% report past-month cannabis use10.8% report daily cannabis useAbout 3 in 10 cannabis users are at risk of Cannabis Use DisorderThe Core QuestionReducing alcohol is meaningful.But emotional resilience is something deeper.This episode challenges you to consider:If alcohol disappeared tomorrow, what would you reach for?Are you choosing relaxation — or needing escape?Have your behaviors changed… or have your beliefs changed?True transformation happens when you dismantle the belief that you need something outside of yourself to manage your internal state.Resources MentionedDr. Adi JaffeThe Abstinence Myth by Dr. Adi JaffeUnhooked by Dr. Adi JaffeSunnyside mindful drinking app (15-day free trial available)Monitoring the Future (University of Michigan)CDC Cannabis Use DataHarvard Health on cannabis vs. alcohol risksBrown University study on cannabis and alcohol consumptionLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more.

Few horses capture the heart of fans quite like Off The Record. Known simply as Timmy to his team, he has become one of the most beloved eventers on the international circuit. An Aachen winner, World Championship team silver medalist, and five-star campaigner, Timmy's story is one of grit, consistency, and the magic of the right partnership. In this episode of Through the Owners' Eyes, Nicole is joined by syndicate members Rich and Roxanne Booth and Vicky Castegren to share the journey behind Will Coleman's superstar. From Timmy's cheeky beginnings to his historic Aachen triumph, they reflect on the highs, the heartbreaks, and the camaraderie that makes syndicate ownership so special.

The USEA Annual Meeting & Convention is just around the corner and this year, it's all about access, transparency, and celebration. Nicole Brown is joined by CEO Rob Burk and outgoing President Lou Leslie for a full preview of what's in store in New Orleans from December 11–14. From the first-ever “open door” format that welcomes members into nearly every meeting, to keynote speaker Natalie Hummel's work on mindset and performance, this year's convention promises to be as forward-thinking as it is fun. Expect good company, big ideas, and plenty of inspiration as the USEA community comes together to reflect, connect, and look ahead.

The countdown is on for two of the biggest weekends of the season: the US Equestrian Open Final at Morven Park and the MARS Maryland 5 Star. With a million dollars in prize money across the Equestrian Open series, all eyes turn to Leesburg, Virginia, where Morven's rolling old turf, iconic backdrop, and Derek di Grazia's cross-country test promise a true championship showcase. Nicole Brown is joined by Sharon White and Woodge Fulton, two riders with deep ties to the venue and big ambitions for the Open. With prestige, prize money, and pride on the line, the Open at Morven will be a defining moment for US eventing. Both riders also talk about the importance of the second U.S. five-star at Maryland and the two features for Young Horses, the USEF/USEA Developing Horse Championships at Morven and the Dutta Corp. USEA Young Event Horse East Coast Championships which kick off at Maryland before heading to California for the West Coast Championships

The USEA Classic Series is more than a competition, it's a chance to experience eventing the way it used to be. From roads and tracks to the thrill of steeplechase and the all-important 10-minute box, it's tradition, horsemanship, and education all rolled into one. Nicole is joined by Max Corcoran and Amanda Miller to break down what makes the Classics so special, why they matter in today's sport, and how riders of every level can get involved. Expect stories from behind the scenes, insight into the learning opportunities, and even a glimpse at Amanda's own journey from competitor to official, with a first five-star on her horizon.
