On this episode of The Time & Productivity Podcast for Entrepreneurs, I dive into the topic of fear of failure. I explore how our brain releases dopamine to incentivise improvement and how mistakes and hard times in business actually provide opportunities for learning and skill development. I discuss the importance of learning and implementing what I have learned to improve our skill set. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the idea that even when I lose in the entrepreneurial game, I still win because failures can be used as valuable lessons for personal growth. I discuss the negative impact of failures and how to overcome them through healing and seeking coaching or guidance. I also explore the mindset of viewing entrepreneurship as a means for personal growth and how this can help overcome the negativity associated with business failures or mistakes. I talk about the importance of consciously doing inner work and addressing triggers to find value and lessons in failures. Furthermore, I discuss how lessons from failures can be used to improve and grow in the future. I touch on the tendency for most people to quit after losing in a challenging game and the three reasons why some individuals continue to play despite the difficulties. I also tackle the reality that even established and successful businesses can suddenly go out of business, highlighting the parallels betIen entrepreneurship and gambling. I delve into the idea that setting up and running a business can be difficult and can result in pain and discomfort. Throughout the episode, our host Kirsty Knight shares her own experiences of mistakes and failures in her various businesses, highlighting how they have helped her develop better services, skills, and a stronger business overall. She acknowledges the personal difficulties associated with these experiences. Ultimately, I emphasize the importance of embracing failure as a crucial part of the entrepreneurial journey and the role it plays in learning and growth. I encourage listeners to detach their worthiness from success and focus on the journey, progress, and challenges of entrepreneurship. Join us on this episode as I explore the personal and professional impact of failure and provide insights and strategies for overcoming the fear of failing in your business.

Dopamine is the brain’s reward chemical, crucial for regulating human motivation, desire, and focus. Yet never in human history have so many dopamine-delivery vehicles (from sugar to social media to online shopping) been so pervasive. We live in a dopamine-glutted world. And the overabundance of dopamine creates continual pitfalls of over-indulgence and addiction all around us. In this episode, we explore the neurobiology of dopamine and, following the work of Dr. Anna Lembke, the mindbody’s pain-pleasure balance. Because understanding this principle and  engaging core practices to keep your life in balance can radically change you...and help change the world.

Tim takes TWiN through two studies on the role of dopamine: that syllables are natural units of spontaneous behavior used by the brain to structure action, and that mesolimbic dopamine release conveys causal associations but not reward prediction errors, thereby challenging the dominant theory of reward learning.

Ever feel like you've tried everything to improve your mood and energy and it's just not working? Sometimes self-care doesn't help with our mood because there is an underlying imbalance in our bodies; specifically, our neurotransmitters.

Hi there!  I'm your host, Kelsey. 

I started my economics career passionately helping charities and social entrepreneurs maximize their impact in the greater Washington D.C. area.  But then I became a mom and finally understood what Mother Theresa meant when she said, "If you want to change the world, go home and love your family." 

Now I help other Catholic moms fight the good fight with routines, boundaries and home systems that let you nourish your mind, body and soul so you can show up as a calm, present parent and live an intentional life.

Catholic Moms don't have to feel stressed and burned out all the time and I want to help you set yourself free so you can show up as the mom you want to be.

Get on the waitlist for my course Here to learn to build your personal Rule of Life.

Experts believe that there are two primary types of fat cells humans produce and store: brown fat and white fat. Brown fat has many more benefits and is the “healthy fat” that helps us regulate body temperature, burn more calories, and improve our metabolism whereas white fat is the fat most of us are trying to avoid gaining too much of.

 In this episode I cover:

• What is brown fat?
• Brown fat vs white fat
• The benefits of brown fat
• How to gain brown fat

When we think of the brain, what probably comes to mind (pun intentional) is our conscious thinking. And while our pre-frontal cortex and verbal processing is amazing, ninety-five percent of our intelligence is non-verbal, occurring outside of our conscious intelligence. In this episode we explore the “iceberg” model of brain functioning with its three layers (conscious, subconscious, and unconscious). And we explore how we can intentionally create space to receive the messages that our unconscious intelligence has for us. Because by bridging our conscious and unconscious, we can radically change our lives.

In this Episode and exploration of an essential biochemical pathway in the brain and its relationship to motivation, curiosity and exploration. 

Included in this episode:
Brain nutrition
Exercise
The role of Purpose
Locus of Control
Vocabulary Word "Endeavor"
The value of curiosity and exploration.
