    JUL 1

    Episode #196: Elle Russ - The Double-Edged Sword of Kindness

    Is kindness always a strength—or can it secretly hold you back? In this deep dive, Elle Russ explore the neuroscience and psychology behind kindness, from its evolutionary roots to its modern-day pitfalls. Discover when kindness becomes a hidden weakness (people-pleasing, fawning, manipulative generosity) and when it’s a genuine superpower (helper’s high, reciprocal altruism). Learn how to audit your kindness—are you giving from a place of authenticity or obligation?—and how to set boundaries so your generosity fuels you, not drains you. Whether you’re an overworked caregiver, a chronic "yes" person, or just someone who wants to give without resentment, this episode will help you reclaim the power of true kindness.   FREEBIES: Free Thyroid Guide + Video Series: https://www.elleruss.com/thyroid-guide Free Confidence eBook & Workbook: https://www.elleruss.com/7secrets Elle's newsletter: https://www.elleruss.com/newletter   #theellerussshow

    Reverend Philip Blackledge - Episcopalian Reverend

    In this episode, Elle Russ chats with Philip Blackledge - he was ordained a priest in the Scottish Episcopal church in 1999. As he was ordained, the heavens opened, there was a mighty thundering and a heavenly voice spoke out of the cloud saying “Bloody hell, we’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.”  Before ordination he was a classical music singer, appearing on a number of recordings and broadcasts, and is currently the Chair of the Borders Music Festival, which aims to bring music to younger people and celebrate amateur music making. He is the leader of the Melrose Vocal Ensemble, and still appears as soloist when the money is right.  As a priest he broadcasts regularly on BBC Radio 4 and takes part in discussion programes and “thought for the day” on BBC Scotland. He is a board member of the Scottish Advisory Council for Religion and Ethics. He has a wife, a son, and a dog, all of which have more control over his life than he does.   You can stream his sermons live at: https://www.youtube.com/@HolyTrinityMelrose     FREEBIES: Free Thyroid Guide + Video Series: https://www.elleruss.com/thyroid-guide Free Confidence eBook & Workbook: https://www.elleruss.com/7secrets Elle's newsletter: https://www.elleruss.com/newletter

    Episode #192: Elle Russ - Success As a Crime - The Tall Poppy Syndrome

    In this episode, Elle Russ deconstructs cultural jealousy and how you can take lessons from it to enrich your success. In a world that claims to celebrate achievement, why do so many cultures secretly punish those who stand out? This episode pulls back the curtain on Tall Poppy Syndrome - that insidious social reflex that makes people attack anyone who rises too high. We trace this phenomenon from ancient tribal instincts to modern office politics, revealing how the fear of standing out shapes everything from career choices to national economies.  We expose the hidden costs of this mentality, from stifled innovation to brain drain, and spotlight the rare communities that have broken free from this self-sabotaging pattern. By the end, you'll never look at success - or your own reactions to others' achievements - the same way again. This is more than a cultural analysis; it's a wake-up call for anyone who's ever dimmed their light to make others comfortable.

    Episode #191: Gary E. Foresman, MD - Integrative Physician

    In this episode, Elle Russ chats with Dr. Gary E. Foresman MD to unpack the science, hype, and controversy surrounding GLP-1-based weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and peptides. Dr. Foresman explores how these drugs actually work—from appetite suppression to metabolic effects—and who’s a good candidate (and who should avoid them). The conversation tackles the real benefits and the real risks beyond the headlines - breaks down the differences between peptides and FDA-approved medications, and examines the big question: Is the weight loss sustainable long-term? We also dive into practical concerns like cost, accessibility, and alternatives for those seeking options outside this class of drugs. Whether you’re considering these medications, curious about the science, or just tired of the hype, this conversation cuts through the noise with an honest, no-industry-spin look at one of the biggest health trends of our time.
