Episode 176⁠: Your Path to Health, Healing and Happiness with Dr. David Rabin

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.” — Viktor Frankl
Between a major home renovation, tight book deadlines, and competing high-stakes priorities, my focused attention was stretched to its limit recently.
In this Q&A episode, I share the exact tactical framework I used to protect my energy, regain focus, and maintain high performance through one of my most demanding seasons.
I also share the core principles that keep home life grounded when professional stress hits an all-time high, as well as the best parenting advice I've ever heard.
Inside this episode:
• Creating Capacity Under Pressure: How to guard foundational self-care rituals, optimize focus blocks, and use No Pressure Days (NPDs) to prevent burnout.
• The Perspective Reframing Question: A simple mental filter to immediately diffuse frustration—Is it a tragedy or an inconvenience?
• What to Eliminate in High-Stress Seasons: Why cutting out alcohol, negative influences, and catastrophic thinking is non-negotiable for recovery.
• The Playbook for Family Resilience: Why play is the primary language of children, and how to treat domestic friction as feedback rather than an attack.
Onward,
James

Episode 160: Building Doors with Lauren Karan

“Burnout is not a sign that you've done too little. It's a sign that you've carried too much, for too long.” — Unknown
Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and burnt out from trying to balance career demands with family life?
Staying in survival mode is completely unsustainable—and nothing changes until you decide it has to.
In this minisode, I share a simple 4-step reset to help you escape survival mode, regain control, and build real capacity back into your life.
We'll go through:
• Pause & Perspective: Breaking the survival response with breath and clarity
• The 3 Morning Essentials: A 5-minute win to set your daily trajectory
• Evening Recovery: Non-negotiables for sleep and energy
• Boundaries & Mindset: Saying no to depletion, delegating effectively, and reframing stress
Onward,
James
