Do you ever feel like you're constantly rushing but never actually getting anywhere? Looking after everyone else. Thinking about work. Worrying about the future. Feeling overwhelmed. In this episode, we're talking about the hamster wheel so many women over 40 find themselves stuck on. Because when life feels chaotic, it's incredibly hard to stay consistent with healthy habits. Workouts get skipped. Self-care goes out the window. Food becomes comfort. And then we end up blaming ourselves. I'll share why trying harder isn't the answer, how overwhelm impacts your health, and what helped me finally step off the wheel and feel calmer, healthier, and more in control. If you've been feeling stressed, exhausted, and like you've lost yourself a little along the way, this episode is for you. Click play and let's dive in.
One of the great ploys of the Yetzer Hara is to make people forget how powerful tefillah really is. A person prays, but deep down he may already feel trapped by his situation. He says the words, but the fire and confidence are missing. Very often, the yeshuah is already prepared and waiting. The person simply needs to awaken within himself and truly believe in the power of speaking to Hashem. Sometimes Hashem sends a person a reminder — perhaps a memory, a story, or a moment of inspiration — to reignite his belief in tefillah so that he will finally cry out properly from the depths of his heart. In the sefer He'emanti Va'asapera, there is a story about Eliezer, a man whose housewares business was collapsing. Every evening he would lower the shutters on his store feeling crushed by stress and worry. Customers were disappearing, profits were shrinking, and it was becoming painfully clear that his business was nearing its end. One night, as he prepared to close the store, something suddenly stopped him. A memory came flooding back from forty years earlier. As a young man living in London, Eliezer had desperately wanted to learn in Eretz Yisrael, but his family did not have the means to send him. One night he saw his father crying while saying Tehillim. The next day his father explained that he had been begging Hashem to somehow help him pay for his son's expenses so he could go learn Torah in Eretz Yisrael. Then something unbelievable happened. The next morning, completely out of character, his father bought a scratch-off ticket and won exactly the amount they needed. Within days, Eliezer was on his way to yeshivah in Eretz Yisrael. Now, forty years later, sitting alone in his darkened store, Eliezer suddenly understood the message. His father's salvation had come through heartfelt tefillah, and now Hashem was reminding him of that lesson for himself. He realized that sighing was not going to help him. Worrying was not going to save his business. He needed to truly pray from the depths of his heart. He took out a Tehillim and began pouring out his heart to Hashem. It was not a quick tefillah. It was not distracted words, but rather real tefillah. He sat there for over an hour crying, pleading, and speaking honestly to Hashem. Then suddenly there was a knock at the door. A stranger stood outside insisting that he urgently needed to come in. Eliezer almost sent him away, upset that someone was interrupting such a powerful moment of tefillah. But the man pleaded with him to listen. He explained that he managed a brand-new hall that was about to open. He had been planning to meet wholesalers over the coming weeks to buy dishes and silverware, but suddenly he discovered that he urgently had to fly overseas. He needed to purchase everything immediately before leaving. Eliezer showed him the merchandise that he had in his store. The man quickly chose what he wanted and ordered seven hundred complete sets of dishes, cups, and silverware — the largest order Eliezer had ever received in his life. In that one visit, he received an entire year's worth of revenue. The profits from that deal saved his business. Then it all became clear. Why had this customer arrived specifically then? Why didn't he go to another store? Because every other store was closed. Eliezer was only there because he had stayed back to pray. The salvation had already been set into motion. The customer had already been sent. The order was already waiting to be made. But Eliezer needed the reminder from his father's story to awaken him to the power of tefillah so that he would cry out the right way for the yeshuah to reach him. Sometimes people become so busy worrying, calculating, panicking, and searching everywhere else that they forget the greatest power they possess — the ability to stand before מלך מלכי המלכים and pour out their hearts. The Yetzer Hara works overtime to weaken a person's belief in tefillah because once a person truly believes that Hashem is listening, his tefillah takes on an entirely new dimension and becomes an uplifting avodah. The greatest chizuk we can have is knowing that Hashem is here. He is listening. He is arranging. He is preparing. He is orchestrating every detail. Sometimes our salvation is already waiting, and all Hashem wants is for us to remember Who we are speaking to — and to speak the right way.

In this podcast we will be talking about 5 ways to live on your own terms from the philosophy of Diogenes. Diogenes was a 4th-century philosopher and the most famous face of Cynicism.So here are 5 ways to live on your own terms from the philosophy of Diogenes.01. Deface the Currency02. Practice Autarkeia03. Be brutally honest04. Be Shameless05. Practice AskēsisHope you enjoyed this podcast and find these insights on how to live on your own terms helpful.Diogenes was a 4th-century philosopher and the most famous face of Cynicism. Today, "cynical" means being negative, but the original Cynics, named after the Greek word for “dog-like”, believing that happiness came from living "according to nature." This meant stripping away rules, status, and the material needs society forces on us today. He practiced this himself, famously living in a ceramic jar, eating simple lentils, and even throwing away his only bowl when he saw a child drinking from their hands. His radical freedom was put to the test when he was captured by pirates and sold at a slave auction. While other captives wept, Diogenes mocked the pirates for not "fattening him up" for a better price. On the auction block, when asked what he could do, he told the crowd: "I know how to govern men. Sell me to someone who needs a master." He pointed to a man named Xeniades and said, "Sell me to him." Xeniades was so intrigued that he bought him and eventually put him in charge of his house and his children's education. Instead of teaching them to chase status, Diogenes taught them to wear plain clothes, walk barefoot, and value philosophy over wealth. Xeniades was so impressed he said, "A good spirit has entered my house." Diogenes spent the rest of his life proving that even in chains, if you want nothing from the world, the world has no power over you.

Hey, hi, hello. Do you also fall into the pet parent spiral? Worrying that you aren't a good pet parent, that your dog is suffering, and that you aren't doing enough. After a two-hour planning session, you have a color-coded, 14-item document that addresses every single thing your dog has ever done, might do, or could theoretically do on a Tuesday. No? Just us?In this episode, Emily and Ellen dig into a common trap we see people fall into, both pet parents and professionals alike: building plans driven by anxiety, fear of judgment, and the desperate need to feel covered... rather than what actually helps the animal in front of you.Whether you're a pet parent trying to do right by your dog or a professional trying to prove yourself to a client, this episode will help you recognize when your plan is actually about you and give you ways to break out of the spiral. TLDL (too long, didn't listen): 3 Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Anxiety-driven plans exhaust everyone — when a plan is built to cover every possible problem and prove your competence, it collapses under its own weight. Overwhelm leads to inaction, not progress.2️⃣ Ask the one audit question — "If I removed this, would the animal be meaningfully worse off? Or would I just feel less covered?" Anything in the second category is worth cutting.3️⃣ Start with a sapling, not old growth — the minimum effective plan is the one you, or your client, can actually do. One consistent thing done well creates more change than twelve things never done.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.Amazon Affiliate StorefrontFind products we recommend at the Pet Harmony Amazon Storefront.As an Amazon Associate, Pet Harmony earns from qualifying purchases.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips

A conversation with leadership and workplace mental health expert Morra Aarons-Mele explores why focusing on the present can improve performance, reduce stress, and strengthen decision-making. Aarons-Mele is the keynote speaker June 15 at the AICPA Not-for-Profit Industry Conference in National Harbor, Md. Aarons-Mele, also an author and podcaster, explains how leaders in high-pressure roles can balance necessary forward planning with short, purposeful pauses, which can improve clarity and team dynamics. The discussion examines how organizations can apply mindfulness practices to build resilience and maintain focus in fast-moving environments. What you'll learn from this episode: Why Aarons-Mele emphasizes a focus on the present. The practice that she says has been "the single most healing, restorative, renewing thing I've done." Why the strategy of "take a minute and pause" can be effective during periods of disruption. What research says about the benefits of such pauses. Why Aarons-Mele warned against letting anxiety about the future drive decision-making. The effect that having "too many tabs open" can have on focus and performance at work.

After 30 years of coaching, I can tell you the number one thing that determines whether you're going to work in this industry or not work in this industry. It's not talent. It's not training. It's not who you know. It's your time management. Because time is something we all have. The question is are you going to take advantage of the time you have, or are you going to be like 95% of the other actors out there and not take advantage of it? What "Working On Your Career" Actually Looks Like Some actors tell me they're working on their career every day. And when I actually look at what they're doing it's totally scattered. It's all over the place. They're scrolling casting sites. They're worrying about an agent or a manager or a casting director or a producer. Worrying is not working on your acting career. They're thinking about auditions that haven't even happened yet. One of my favorite quotes is from Michael Jordan, who said why would I worry about a shot I haven't even taken yet? Why would you worry about an audition you haven't done yet? Why would you worry about a moment you haven't even lived yet? And the other thing I see a lot is actors watching other people's careers online. Watching what their friends are booking, what their acquaintances are doing. Which is really great for your self-esteem. All of this stuff feels busy. But it is not the same thing as moving your career forward. Acting careers are not built on random bursts of effort. They are built on consistent, focused action. Those tiny little steps and tiny little decisions you make every day. That is what a career is built on. The Waiting Trap One of the biggest traps I see is what I call waiting energy. You're waiting for an audition. Waiting for an agent to call. Waiting for a callback. Waiting for the big break. Or you're telling yourself, well once I'm done with this audition or this show, then I'll get to it. That is one of the biggest traps ever. Acting careers don't move forward because you wait well. They move forward because you keep building. Gabrielle Bernstein says the universe responds to the energy you bring to it. If you are bringing waiting energy, guess what you're going to get back? A lot more waiting. But when you operate from creative action, opportunities tend to increase. Not overnight. But they do, steadily. The Three Parts of a Successful Acting Career I talk about this in the weekly classes, in the Working Actor Roadmap, on this podcast, and to anyone who will listen. The first part is the craft. Acting training, scene work, voiceover classes, voice and movement training, rehearsing material. Meditation, yoga, working out. All of it. Because that is the foundation. And it's not about thinking about rehearsing that monologue. It's about actually rehearsing the monologue. The second part is the business. Are you submitting? Are you networking? Are your materials up to date? Are you keeping your business on a schedule? Are you reaching out to agents, managers, casting directors, producers, writers? And are you staying consistent with it? It's about the baby steps every day. The third part is the core energy work. Rest, exercise, relationships, finances, meditation. Taking care of yourself and making sure your mindset is sharp. That all of your thoughts are working for you. I think of it like this. I am a cell phone and the universe is a cell phone tower. How I communicate to that tower is not through my thoughts and not even so much through my actions. It's through my feelings. Feelings are your currency. If you're not feeling good, you're telling the universe you want more of that. Why Structure Creates Freedom So many actors resist structure. I was one of them. I worried that structure would make me feel rigid. But that is just a thought I kept thinking and a story I kept telling myself that was false. The truth is that structure creates freedom. Freedom because I know where my energy is going each week. I stop spinning in circles. Instead of wondering what to do next, I already know. Certain days for training. Certain days for career work. Certain days for creative work. That rhythm gives you so much freedom and removes a tremendous amount of anxiety. Momentum comes from movement. Careers rarely change because of one big moment. They change through consistent focused effort over time. The actors who last in this industry are not always the busiest. One of my favorite mantras is I can do less and attract more. But you only get there by staying consistent, showing up, and managing your time efficiently and with accountability. The Bottom Line If you want to do different things in your life you need to become a different person. Working actors are intentional with their energy. They treat their acting life like a profession, not a hobby. They create rhythms and they start to love that rhythm. All I need you to do is sign up and show up. Want to Keep the Conversation Going? I have a weekly class and I want you to try it. The first one is free, and if you like it you can continue to join us. And as I always say, stay safe and treat yourself real well.

What would you do if you lost everything—twice—and had to rebuild your life, your finances, and your identity from the ground up? Most people would let the weight of that loss define them. In this episode, I sit down with acquisitions expert and STR investor Elle Anderson. We're diving into her extraordinary journey from the depths of financial loss to building a business rooted in mindset, identity work, and high-level strategy.Inside the episode, I dive into:How Elle jumped into buying businesses with no money, raising equity, and learning the high-stakes game of investor relations on the flyWhat happened when Elle's last $5 became the catalyst for a total identity shift, moving her from chronic worry to conscious creationHow Elle applies deep due diligence to real estate, spotting market gaps and adding high-ROI amenities like year-round pools to outperform the competitionA creative, guest-centric approach to winning over neighbors and building community goodwill around your rentalsExploring the connection between your nervous system, your identity, and the actual results in your bank accountBut this isn't just a story about a comeback. It's about the freedom of choice. Elle pulls back the curtain on why she walked away from a company with 120 employees to find the flexibility and creativity of short-term rentals. You'll hear how she designs for "memorable moments", from slides between floors to interactive design touches, and why she believes bold action is only possible once you've done the inner work to support it.If you've ever wondered if you can truly recover from a setback and build something even better on the other side, this conversation is your proof. Get ready to stop praying for things to go wrong and start training your mind for what's possible.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[00:54] A short introduction about our guest Elle Anderson, and how she began her entrepreneurial journey with no experience or capital, relying on belief, resourcefulness, and investor support[04:12] Elle explains how she navigated entering business acquisitions with no experience or capital, relying on belief, resourcefulness, and investor support[06:05] Elle describes the wide variety of businesses she acquired and shares how her follow-up approach helped build trust and credibility with investors.[08:58] Elle recounts the second time she was left with only $5, no food for her two-year-old son, and describes how a profound shift in mindset transformed her path forward[13:01] How Elle recognized her lifelong tendency to worry and transformed it into intentional focus on positive outcomes.[15:29] Elle shares how she learned to harness awareness and intention to transform her mindset, even after repeated setbacks [18:37] Elle talks about the emotional impact after her first financial loss and how she began the long journey of rebuilding without the knowledge she needed[21:22] Elle describes her recipe for success, emphasizing the power of momentum and decisive action in rebuilding and growing her businesses[23:05] Why taking imperfect action and learning from mistakes is more powerful than waiting for the perfect moment[26:56] Elle's transition from large-scale business acquisitions to short-term rentals and how she identifies gaps in competitive markets[32:38] Elle shares how she translates lessons from business acquisitions into short-term rentals, using due diligence, creative design, and strategic ROI-driven decisions [37:20] Elle talks about the foundational mindset shift that transforms success, even in moments of uncertainty or doubt[38:47] The lightning round Golden Nuggets:“Where you put your attention is where your energy goes, and that grows.”“I would celebrate my success long before it happened. And it just kept coming and coming and coming.”“Worrying is one of the biggest wastes of energy ever possible, because you end up putting out into the world what ultimately you're going to attract.”“My brain is literally just a data center. It's just a big old, massive computer, right? And what we input into that computer directly affects the output that we're able to get from it.”“Once I understood about mindset and identity, like who you believe you are inside, then it all made sense. You don't have to be smart, you don't even have to be good, you don't even have to have the best tactics. You just have to believe that it's going to be successful.”“You have to have action, even if it's not perfect action. You're going to learn and you're going to adjust, and you're going to get better.”“Perfectionism is one reason why people don't take action because they're waiting to do something until they get that home run, or it's a slam dunk, or they know for sure.”“Failure comes from mistakes only when we don't learn from them.”Let's Connect:Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/elle.ande.10Resource Mentioned: Innercise: The New Science to Unlock Your Brain's Hidden PowerProudly sponsored by Futurestay: futurestay.com/staceyEnjoyed the show?

Be still and know that I'm God. That's one of the most quoted verses out there and one of the least understood.This week I'm getting honest about something I've wrestled with for a long time: I don't know how to be still. My still is anxiety. Worrying about what's down the road that probably won't even happen. Asking "why is this happening" instead of asking "what is God trying to get out of me?" The moment I started asking that second question — something shifted.In this episode, I'm talking about what being still actually means in the middle of a real storm. Not a polished answer. Just what I'm living right now, a commercial deal I didn't close on my own, a tribe I'm still building, and the one thing that completely shuts my anxiety down: serving others.If you've ever stood at the bottom of the mountain wondering when it ends, this one is for you.What is your still? Drop it in the comments. No judgment, just honest people figuring it out together.You're not alone, and God is not done with you yet. Stay safe, stay healthy, and keep chasing.Chasing Happiness — Unfiltered faith for hard seasons.
How many times do you hear the phase, “Just be yourself?” So, what does that truly mean? With me, being yourself means living life on your own terms, regardless of other people's opinions. Worrying about what others will think is just a waste of time, because you can't control them or their thoughts. When you are truly being yourself, you can finally start living your own life. When you do this, it opens up the doors to a life where you can thrive. On day's episode, Tony Wechsler and Jen Sellar are going to discuss how “You can't thrive from a life that isn't yours.” Jen can be found on social media: https://www.facebook.com/jen.sellarhttps://www.instagram.com/jensellarhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-sellar/Or her website: https://jensellar.com/You can also download her free Question Tree Clarity Guide, a simple reflection tool to help you slow down and reconnect with what you really want beneath the noise, expectations, and pressure to help you thrive in life: https://jensellar.kit.com/question-tree-clarity-guideAs always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/

In this episode, I talk about whether you should announce your goals to the world with great fanfare—or just quietly plug away and pursue them. The topic was inspired by a couple of social media clips, including a “sub-11 second 100 meters in 90 days” project, which sounds exciting…but also highlights what we’re seeing more and more today—spouting big goals, getting instant attention, and receiving that payoff without having to continue on and struggle and suffer through the process. I get into the brain science behind this, including how simply announcing a goal—“I’m working on a book,” “I’m training for an Ironman”—can trigger a dopamine spike that tricks you into thinking you’ve already made progress. I also cover the flip side, with research showing that sharing goals can increase accountability and support when done correctly. From there, I break down the nuances: why announcing vague or unrealistic goals can backfire, how you risk turning into a “dilettante” chasing attention instead of results, why process-oriented goals beat outcome obsession (with insights from elite sport and my own experience), and when it actually does make sense to share what you’re working on—like being fully immersed in the journey or reporting real progress, not just talking about it. I also explain why who you share your goals with matters, and how the wrong approach can leave you stuck while the right one can push you forward. It’s a thoughtful look at motivation, accountability, and what it really takes to follow through on meaningful goals in a world full of hype. TIMESTAMPS: We have some differing expert opinions about the value or the strategy of announcing goals to others. Some say it helps keep you accountable. There's good research there. Others reference the emptiness and the risk [01:06] Troy is an example of announcing to all that he will be breaking 11 seconds in the 100 meters. [01:35] Josh is another example of sharing his ambition to try a feat and asks that you follow along to see what goes into this attempt. [03:13] Brad discusses the differences in these two styles. [03:37] It is harmful to attach your self-esteem to specific outcomes. [09:37] Try to let go of the pressure and enjoy the process with a positive attitude. [11:49] Brain research confirms that we can elicit a spike of dopamine by simply announcing a big goal to the public or to your friends. [13:40] The same dopamine hit—with potential backlash—happens when we announce success prematurely. [17:50] There is a meta-study from the American Psychological Association in 2025 that found that sharing a goal was linked to receiving more support from others. [23:41] Do not broadcast vague goals that might be deemed unrealistic by an expert outsider observer. [26:27] Set process-oriented goals. Basketball coach John Wooden said, "Worrying about the scoreboard is a big mistake. Instead, focus on the perfect execution of every possession."

Welcome back to the Mindful Hunter Podcast! In this episode, Jay wraps up the massive backlog of listener questions from our recent Q&A, covering everything from backcountry bear hunting stories to controversial reloading opinions. We kick things off with a recap of Jay's first guided bear hunt of the season, detailing a successful 400-yard shot and a massive 6-foot+ boar. Then, we dive into the Q&A, tackling some heated topics. Is extreme spread (ES) and standard deviation (SD) actually important for hunting, or is it just a distraction? Jay shares his unfiltered thoughts on why speed for speed's sake is useless and how to reverse-engineer your bullet velocity for maximum terminal performance. Jay also answers questions about the best books to improve your hunting (spoiler: you should probably just spend more time in the field), the single biggest mistake he made when he first started hunting, and why using a floorless shelter in the high country is a recipe for disaster. Plus, get the details on a massive $10,000+ giveaway, the upcoming technical apparel launch, and some exclusive outfitting opportunities. Whether you're looking for reloading advice, scouting strategies, or just some honest, unfiltered hunting talk, this Q&A is packed with actionable advice to help you level up this season.

Here in April 2026, the oil futures market is in danger of something similar but in the opposite direction. Certain market participants just may be underestimating how much supply has collapsed. Worrying that might be the case, the Dallas Fed surveyed oil industry companies about what they're seeing and where they think the Hormuz blockage is leading the energy marketplace.

Episode 1999: Dr. Jenny Brockis explains that worry isn't always the enemy, it can actually sharpen focus and improve performance when kept at the right level. By understanding how stress affects the brain and learning to regulate it, we can transform worry into a tool that boosts resilience, motivation, and productivity. Brockis shows how realistic optimism and healthy habits help us channel concern into meaningful results rather than burnout. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.drjennybrockis.com/2018/7/13/when-worry-can-be-an-advantage-for-work/ Quotes to ponder: "Worrying about the amount of worry going on in our lives and work is very much a hindrance rather than a help." "The bell-shaped Yerkes-Dodson stress curve that has been around since 1908 (!) is still widely used today to explain how performance increases as stress rises until a tipping point is reached when additional stress lowers performance." "Our brain's primary function is to keep us safe."
