    Simplify the chaos of getting sober with Jeff Hayward

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Rebecca sits down with Jeff Hayward — author, internationally accredited counsellor, and founder of Simple Theory  — to talk about his book Simple Sh!t for Complicated People: From Chaos to Clarity, A Guide to Sobriety, Sanity and Living Free Without Drugs and Alcohol. Jeff brings a rare combination of lived experience, clinical and academic expertise, and real-world work with everyone from street-entrenched survivors to high-achieving professionals hiding their addiction. Topics covered: • Why addiction isn't black and white — the four levels of substance use (use, misuse, problematic use, and chronic dependency)  • The difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it  • How drugs and alcohol hijack your brain's reward system — and what it takes to reset  • Why the "party ended years ago" for most people still drinking  • The power of beliefs: how a single belief shift changes your feelings and  behavior  • Classic and operant conditioning — why breaking patterns is so hard  • Why vulnerability and taking off your "armor" is the real first step  • Subtraction over addition: why simplifying your life beats adding more to it  • The thought-belief-feeling-behavior loop and how to rewire it  • Why recovery is an individual process you can't do alone Whether you're questioning your relationship with substances, newly sober, or years into recovery and need a refresher, this episode (and Jeff's book) will meet you where you are.

    How I went from endless to-do lists to doing what I love

    Send a text Whether you're trying to start a business, get back to your creative passion, or just stop scrolling long enough to go to the gym — this one's for you. Ever feel like you're drowning in to-do lists but never getting to the things that actually matter? You're not alone — and you're not just "too busy." In this episode, breakthrough coach Rebecca Gillis gets real about why we resist the things we're meant to be doing, how our inner protectors keep us stuck in distraction, and the simple but powerful practice she uses to break through — from getting out of bed on a Saturday morning to finally hitting record on this very episode. Rebecca shares her personal system for organizing an overwhelming life into manageable categories, tackling the next 48 hours instead of the next lifetime, and using time blocking to quiet the noise. She explores the concept of "action before distraction," why your inner critic is actually trying to help you, and how to gently take the wheel from the parts of you that are running the show. In this episode, you'll learn: why you resist most the things you're meant to be doinghow to organize overwhelm into manageable actionshow to work with your inner protectors, not against themthe difference between shame-driven productivity and self-led actionhow to stay consistent, rather than just do moreReferences & resources mentioned: The War of Art by Steven Pressfield — on resistance and doing your most important workNo Bad Parts by Dr. Richard Schwartz — Internal Family Systems (IFS) and understanding your inner protectorsMegan Sumrell– systems analyst turned time management coachCathy Heller – podcast coach and hostJoin us for a new episode each week!

    How to stop holiday binge eating

    Send us Fan Mail The holidays can be a minefield if you struggle with binge eating, emotional eating, nighttime cravings, or that familiar “fuck it” spiral that hits in December. If you’ve ever wondered: “How do I stop binge eating over the holidays?” “Why do I lose control around certain foods or certain people?” “Why does December feel like a repeat of last year?” …this episode is for you. Instead of quick fixes or food rules, Rebecca breaks down the real binge eating cycle — the emotional, mental, and physical layers that drive compulsive eating, especially around the holidays. You’ll hear: ·       The hidden emotional triggers that shape your relationship with food ·       How your mind creates binge patterns long before you touch the fridge ·       Why the “start in January” voice feels so convincing ·       What happens when your nervous system is dysregulated during stressful family events or long, lonely evenings ·       How restriction, saving calories, or “being good” actually makes things worse If you’re tired of the restrict → binge → guilt loop, or you want a calmer, more grounded relationship with food this holiday season, this one’s for you.
