When burnout hits, most people think they're simply tired. But underneath the exhaustion, there's often a deeper driver: shame — that quiet voice that says, “You're failing. You should be stronger.”In this episode, Dex unpacks how shame silently fuels isolation and self-abandonment in high performers, and what it really takes to break that destructive cycle.Through the story of “Mark,” a high-achieving executive who spiralled into withdrawal and disconnection, Dex reveals the hidden mechanisms of shame and how they erode confidence, relationships, and health — all while convincing us to “work harder.”You'll learn practical, immediately usable steps to reclaim self-trust and reconnect with your power — even in the middle of burnout.What You'll LearnWhy shame is the invisible engine of burnoutThe Shame–Isolation–Self-Abandonment Loop and how it traps high performersThe biology of shame: how it drives withdrawal and shutdownWhy masculine conditioning amplifies shame in leadershipFour Steps to Break the Shame Spiral:Name the shamePractice tiny acts of self-connectionReach out to a safe personRecommit to self-respectKey Quote“Shame isn't proof that you're broken.

Bill Bengen, the creator of the 4% rule, joins us to revisit one of the most important ideas in financial planning and retirement research. In this conversation, he explains the origins of the 4% rule, how his thinking has evolved over 30 years, and why he now believes retirees can safely withdraw closer to 4.7% — or even more — under certain conditions. We explore the data behind his findings, how to think about inflation, valuations, longevity, and sequence of returns risk, and the philosophy of living well in retirement.Topics covered:The origins and evolution of the 4% ruleHow Bill discovered the worst-case retirement scenario (1968)The role of inflation and market valuations in withdrawal ratesWhy he now recommends 65% equities instead of 55%How diversification increases sustainable withdrawalsThe logic behind a U-shaped equity glide pathSequence of returns risk and how to mitigate itThoughts on the permanent portfolio and goldBucket strategies and cash reservesDynamic vs. fixed withdrawal methodsHow longevity and FIRE affect planning horizonsWhy retirees should spend and enjoy moreThe philosophy behind “A Richer Retirement”Timestamps:00:00 The origins of the 4% rule03:00 The 1968 retirement “buzz saw” scenario07:00 Common misconceptions about the 4% rule10:00 Inflation and valuation adjustments13:00 Diversification and higher withdrawal rates15:00 Longevity, FIRE, and extended retirements16:00 The U-shaped equity glide path18:00 Rebalancing and allocation timing19:00 The permanent portfolio and gold20:00 Sequence of returns risk explained22:00 Cash reserves and bucket strategies23:00 Dynamic withdrawal approaches24:00 Why the rule is now closer to 4.7%27:00 The changing market environment29:00 Key charts and frameworks from the book31:00 The eight essential elements of planning33:00 Withdrawal strategies and asset allocation34:00 Required minimum distributions36:00 Reflections on creating the 4% rule38:00 Bill's philosophy on life and retirement40:00 Closing thoughts and where to find his book

Don and Tom tackle investor “magical thinking,” especially the belief that private equity, non-traded REITs, and other illiquid “exclusive” investments offer hidden superior returns. They walk through Jason Zweig's recent reporting on a Florida pension fund that locked up money, paid higher fees, and earned under 1% a year. The conversation underscores why liquidity, transparency, and diversification matter far more than complexity or exclusivity. The episode also features listener questions on retirement withdrawal sequencing for a $9M portfolio, evaluating cash balance plans, and deciding between traditional vs. Roth 401(k) contributions.

When fear takes over, we instinctively reach for emotional armor to protect ourselves - control, people-pleasing, self-victimization, or withdrawal. Like David removing Saul's ill-fitting armor before facing Goliath, we must recognize that our defensive mechanisms often don't work and leave us exhausted. The armor of control makes us micromanage everything, believing we'll be safe if we stay in charge. People-pleasing armor drives us to keep everyone happy to avoid rejection. Self-victimization armor tears us down before others can. Withdrawal armor keeps us isolated to prevent hurt. Instead of relying on these faulty protections, God calls us to trust His strength and put on His armor of truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and His Word.

On the phone-in: Automotive expert, Doug Bethune, answers listeners' questions about vehicle repair. And off the top of the show, the CBC's Tom Ayers reports on a four-month long suspension of overnight hospital beds for addictions treatment for patients in detox.

In this episode, Kamini Wood explores the powerful and often misinterpreted silence in relationships that emerges during conflict, which is distinct from peaceful quiet. She explains that withdrawal is rarely about punishment; instead, it's often a survival mechanism or a shield rooted in old attachment wounds or feelings of shame that whisper, "You're not good enough." Kamini highlights the dangerous mismatch: one partner's silence (a form of protection) is received by the other as rejection or abandonment, eroding emotional safety. The episode provides crucial awareness for the "silent partner," validating their past use of silence as a protector, while offering small, actionable steps—like stating "I need to pause, but I want to talk about this later"—to break the pattern and start building a safer, more connected way of engaging in difficult conversations.

In this episode we answer emails from Tyson, Patrick, and Shuchi.  We discuss the basics of transitioning, SCHD as a value fund choice, bitcoin vs. gold, why "only works for 30 years" is a fake problem, the difference between our use of value funds vs. Paul Merriman's, and when would me make adjustments to our plans in retirement.Links:Bigger Pockets Money Podcast #1:  The Secret to a 5% Safe Withdrawal Rate | Frank VasquezBigger Pockets Money Podcast #2:  We Built a 5% SWR Retirement Portfolio Using Fidelity in 48 Minutes (Golden Ratio Portfolio)Morningstar Analysis of SCHD:  SCHD Stock - Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF | MorningstarGolden Ratio Portfolio on Portfolio Charts:  Golden Ratio Portfolio – Portfolio ChartsRetirement Spending Calculator:  Retirement Spending – Portfolio ChartsDrawdowns Calculator:  Drawdowns – Portfolio ChartsMichael Batnick Critique of CAPE Ratio "Predictions":  Stocks Are More Expensive Than They Used to BeBreathless AI-Bot Summary:A plan that survives contact with the market looks different from the one you sketch on a napkin. We break down the 80 percent FI pivot—why shifting from an aggressive accumulation mix to a retirement-ready allocation a few years early can defuse sequence risk without surrendering growth—and show how to decide when to pull that lever without second-guessing every blip.We also tackle one of the most popular questions right now: can Bitcoin replace gold? Short answer: not for core diversification. Gold's role as a Basel III Tier 1 reserve asset and its central bank demand make it a unique stabilizer in a way that risk-on assets can't duplicate. Bitcoin behaves more like a levered tech proxy, which is interesting for satellite bets but insufficient as an anchor. On equities, we explain why splitting the stock sleeve between growth and value—think a broad growth-leaning fund paired with a true value fund like SCHD—creates the performance dispersion that fuels rebalancing gains during stress, raising durability without betting on factor outperformance.If the 30-year rule worries you, breathe. Withdrawal rates flatten as horizons extend, and real-world retiree inflation typically runs 1 to 2 percent below CPI, offsetting the longer timeline. Add simple guardrails—pausing raises, trimming discretionary spend in bad years—and you can boost sustainability by about a percentage point. The key is to know your portfolio's historical drawdown depth and length, set bright lines for action, and avoid valuation-based fortune-telling. Diversification and disciplined rebalancing beat crystal balls.If you found this helpful, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend planning their FI transition.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Justin Strickland, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Justin Strickland, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In the October 2025 podcast Justin Strickland talks about his work on e-cigarette withdrawal syndrome presented at the 13th Annual Vermont Center on Behavior and Health Conference, held in Vermont, USA. Justin is a behavioural pharmacologist working with substance use and substance use disorder. His research applies behavioural economic methods to evaluate choice and decision-making mechanisms that may underlie substance use and identify targets for their reduction. Justin begins by describing behavioral economics and how our environment and context shape the decisions we make, for example, how the cost of goods can influence patterns of consumption. As a relatively new class of products less is known about e-cigarette withdrawal than tobacco withdrawal syndrome. Justin describes his ongoing study of e-cigarette withdrawal syndrome among people who have exclusively used e-cigarettes. Participants stay in a residential unit for one week, where their behaviour, physiology and other measures, including their nicotine clearance, are measured. Preliminary findings indicate that participants do experience withdrawal to e-cigarettes, for example cravings that reduce over time. Looking to the future he calls for longer-term trials to observe behaviour and to explore predictors of complete cessation. Such research could inform the development of more effective behavioral interventions or pharmacological treatments to support individuals experiencing e-cigarette withdrawal. This podcast is a companion to the electronic cigarettes Cochrane living systematic review and Interventions for quitting vaping review and shares the evidence from the monthly searches. Our searches for the EC for smoking cessation review carried out on 1st October 2025 found: 1 new study (10.18332/852498tivblr); 2 ongoing new studies (ISRCTN12504090, 10.1177/29768357251337050); and 4 linked reports (10.1016/j.ypmed.2025.108414, 10.1037/pha0000803, 10.1093/ntr/ntaf200, 10.1101/2024.06.21.24309282).

The Man Who Robbed Banks and Found God in a Cell: Julian Miller | The Hopeaholics Podcast In this powerful and deeply emotional episode, Julian Miller shares his remarkable journey from crime and chaos to redemption and purpose. Once a young man lost to the streets, Julian recounts the pivotal moments that defined his life — witnessing his cousin's death at ten years old, falling into addiction, and ultimately making the desperate decision to rob a bank that landed him in prison. What began as a story of destruction turns into one of grace and transformation, as Julian reveals how incarceration became his awakening. Inside Rikers Island, amid withdrawal and despair, he found faith, discipline, and a renewed sense of identity. Through scripture, writing, and reflection, he reshaped his future, emerging not only sober but spiritually alive. Today, Julian uses his story to mentor youth, inspire students through poetry, and speak hope into the lives of those still trapped in cycles of pain and poor decisions.

The way through is simple, but not easy.In Part 2 of this firefighter suicide series, Sammy Freyta digs into the mask of dark humor, the silent war signs we miss, and how tiny 1% choices bring us back from “dead inside." It's real talk about triaging life, changing what you can, and asking for help without shame.What You'll LearnRead the tells. Withdrawal, numbing (booze, overwork), short fuse, sleep going to hell, nonstop jokes to dodge real talk—what to watch for in yourself and your crew.Normalize the thoughts. Many firefighters think about suicide; that doesn't make you broken. What matters is your next step.1% moves that matter. Delay the worst choice. Change one thing today. Stack tiny wins until the fog lifts.Resilience → growth. How small reps create clarity, new priorities, stronger bonds—and purpose.Triage the drains. TJ's real example: finding space to heal.When to escalate. Peer support, EAP, and first-responder inpatient programs aren't weakness—they're a parachute.If you didn't do it but feel dead inside. Sammy's steps: name it out loud, find why you hesitated, rebuild basics, loop in a person, and write the next chapter. If you're a firefighter in a bad spot who needs a clear, simple plan to keep going, this one's for you.Support the show

On this feel-good edition of the Trust the Plan Podcast, Nick Hopwood, CFP®, and Jim Pilat, CFP®, of Peak Wealth started with some positive market news. The S&P 500 is up double digits year to date, which has happened about 30 times since 1950 and is usually a good sign for the rest of the year. They encouraged listeners to focus on data like this rather than emotions, especially with distractions such as potential government shutdowns. The main topic of the episode was beneficiary IRAs and the strategy they recommend when taking withdrawals. They also discussed the investment risks involved and how proper planning can help manage them effectively. — Peak Wealth Management is a financial planning and wealth management firm in Plymouth, MI.

Click here to send me a quick message :) Let's be honest that most of us are poorly informed about all the non-hormonal birth control options we have. Our providers basically tell us we should either choose something they have on offer (whether that's IUD's or hormonal contraception of one kind or another), and dismiss the efficacy of the myriad non-hormonal birth control options we have access to outside of the medical system.IUD's are incredibly commonplace, and while they work for many, they also have risks and side-effects that are often overlooked.Our bodies are our own, and my biggest wish is for you to make the choice that's right for your body in whatever season of life you're in.But if you are curious about non-hormonal birth control options, this episode is a great place to start. I've been practicing a combination of Fertility Awareness Method, withdrawal, occasional condom use and occasional herbal allies for my contraception practice for nearly two decades.This is not some short-lived thing. This is long term, deeply embodied confidence I have in these forms of contraception working effectively - especially when combined. It's empowering to know what's possible, which is why I wanted to do an entire episode on withdrawal, really detailing what it is, how to make it more effective, when in your cycle you may want to try it if you're newer to it or more experienced, and how edging can play a role as well.I hope it offers you some grounded information you can use as you explore what feels true and right for you!Resources:Get started tracking your cycle: Track Your Cycle (FAM) guideSign up for the waitlist here: Natural Contraception winter 2025/2026 waitlistToday's shownotes: Is withdrawal effective?Episode 90: Effective Non-hormonal birth control optionsEpisode 146: 5 benefits of practicing natural contraceptionEpisode 186: When contraception fails!If you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

In this episode we answer emails from Ron, Mark, Rick and Keith.  We revel in your generosity and discuss the mechanics of monthly withdrawals and how rebalancing smooths that over, modelling portfolio with money going in and money going out, and a follow up on portfolios employing futures contracts as leverage.  And gooooold!  And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterOur South Africa Trip Video Playlist:  Penguins in Cape TownRemembering Gov.

We walk through what a powerful gold run means for real-world withdrawals, safe withdrawal rates, and the way diversified portfolios shoulder risk when the regime shifts. From the Golden Butterfly and Golden Ratio to return-stacked experiments, we review performance, drawdowns, and why structural diversification—equities, Treasuries, gold, real assets, and managed futures—often beats clever timing when you're spending from your nest egg.We also open the donor mailbag with sharp questions from listeners practicing monthly withdrawals ahead of retirement. Should you fund withdrawals from accumulated cash or trim recent winners? How much does trade timing matter at month-end? We share simple rules that reduce friction: let dividends build a cash buffer, sell strength back to targets, and rely on periodic rebalancing to correct small timing errors. For those using volatile tools like UPRO, TMF, or crypto, we explain why defined targets and a steady cadence matter more than chasing the “perfect” price.Futures curious? We touch on financing costs, collateral choices, and the risk realities of leverage, including why even elegant models must respect max drawdown. Along the way, we challenge the habit of erasing the 1970s from gold analysis and highlight how data-driven diversification can protect retirees from sequence risk. Whether you're simulating withdrawals or already living on your portfolio, you'll get practical tactics and a clearer lens for portfolio design.If this resonates, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone planning their retirement drawdown.

Nicotine isn't just addictive—it might be one of the most misunderstood nootropics in modern medicine. In this masterclass, you'll learn how controlled, low-dose nicotine may enhance brain performance, boost neuroplasticity, improve mitochondrial function, and potentially extend lifespan. Host Dave Asprey breaks down the surprising science behind this controversial compound, separating fact from fear—and exposing the real risks that nobody talks about. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR You'll discover how nicotine affects neurotransmitters, why it may help with ADHD and focus, and how it compares to other cognitive enhancers like caffeine, nootropics, and even smart drugs. Dave explores how nicotine can be used to hack metabolism, enhance sleep optimization, and support fasting or ketosis protocols—if used properly. He also reveals the forms of nicotine that are safest (spoiler: it's not vapes or cigarettes), how nicotine works at the receptor level, and what the science says about long-term health effects. This episode blends functional medicine, brain optimization, and biohacking into one powerful, myth-busting breakdown. You'll Learn: • How nicotine affects mitochondria, neurotransmitters, and dopamine signaling • Why nicotine may boost neuroplasticity, memory, and attention span • How low-dose nicotine compares to caffeine, modafinil, and other nootropics • The safest delivery forms (and the ones to avoid) • Whether nicotine supports or hinders longevity and cognitive resilience • How it can be stacked with supplements, fasting, or ketosis • What functional medicine says about chronic use, addiction, and withdrawal This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, human performance, and longevity, and for those who want to understand how functional biology and mitochondrial science are redefining recovery, energy, and aging. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

The Genesis of Hamas, the Failure of "Land for Peace," and Theological Jihad Cliff May discussed the failure of the "land for peace" policy following Israel's 2005 withdrawal from Gaza and the violent takeover by Hamas. Hamas, representing the Muslim Brotherhood and born from theological jihad, views its mission as the destruction of Israel to establish an emirate. May emphasized that any cessation of hostilities is merely a hudna (truce), used by Hamas to rebuild for future battles, not a lasting peace. 1950 beersheba

Have you ever thought of your body as having a “health bank account”?     Every meal, workout, night of sleep, and even your mindset is either a deposit that builds long-term vitality or a withdrawal that depletes your reserves.      Over time, the balance you create determines whether you're thriving or running on empty.     In this episode, I'll share how to apply the “health bank account” framework to your daily life, why small, consistent deposits matter more than perfection, and how to strike the right balance between discipline and enjoyment.      So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3531, where I break down why every choice is either a deposit or a withdrawal.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3531 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

President Trump says Israel has agreed to an initial withdrawal line in Gaza. He says the details have been shared with Hamas and once the Palestinian group confirms it agrees with the line, there will be an immediate ceasefire and an exchange of hostages and prisoners.

Roughly 1 in 10 Americans take antidepressants. The most common type is SSRIs, or  selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, like Prozac, Lexapro, and Zoloft. But what happens when you stop taking them? Studies don't point to a single conclusion, and there's ongoing debate among physicians and patients about the severity and significance of SSRI withdrawal symptoms. The discourse reached a fever pitch when Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. compared SSRI withdrawal to heroin withdrawal in January.Host Flora Lichtman digs into the data on SSRI withdrawal with psychiatrists Awais Aftab and Mark Horowitz.Guests: Dr. Awais Aftab is a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University.Dr. Mark Horowitz is a clinical research fellow in the UK's National Health Service and  scientific co-founder of Outro Health.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.
