In this episode of the Buckets of Change podcast, Nick connects with west coaster Dr. Catherine Darlley to delve into the nuances of sleep, and its profound impact on personal and professional change. With a focus on naturopathic sleep medicine, Dr. Darling offers her expertise on how to harness natural remedies for better sleep, and why establishing a reliable routine is crucial for our circadian rhythm. Dr. Darliey shares insightful strategies on how to build an effective sleep routine, emphasizing the significance of light exposure throughout the day and maintaining a consistent wake-up time. She sheds light on common sleep disorder misconceptions, the implications of insufficient sleep, and the controversial prevalence of melatonin supplements. Whether you're tackling life changes or seeking to improve your sleep hygiene, this episode will equip you with practical tools and all the things about sleep we take for granted Key Takeaways: Sleep disorders are varied and complex, with 58 types identified, but primary care physicians receive minimal training in sleep medicine. A strong circadian rhythm is essential for feeling alert during the day and achieving deep sleep at night. It can be fostered through routine exposure to natural light during the day and maintaining dim light conditions in the evening. Each stage of sleep serves a significant purpose -- from learning and memory consolidation to physical body recovery and emotional regulation. Over-the-counter sleep aids, particularly melatonin supplements, should be approached with caution as they vary in dosage, purity, and effectiveness. Naps can be beneficial if timed correctly. Aim for either a 30-minute power nap or a full 90-minute sleep cycle to avoid grogginess.

In episode 21 of the Buckets of Change podcast, Nick tackles the overarching theme of change, particularly the challenges and mindset shifts required to overcome adversity and unforeseen events in one’s personal and professional life. As a seasoned entrepreneur and change advocate, Nick imparts his first-hand experiences and valuable life lessons that resonate with anyone on the path to self-improvement and career transformation. Nick draws a vivid parallel between his previous HR career, where confidence and competence reigned, and his current painting business, characterized by continuous learning. The episode emphasizes the importance of resilience, responding to challenges, and the danger of seeking pity as a form of external validation and adapting positively to change rather than feeling victimized by circumstances. Things don't happen "to us", they just happen. Key Takeaways: Change is inevitable, and how we respond to it is crucial in determining our resilience and future success. Seeking pity or external validation can hinder personal growth and happiness levels, leading to a victim mentality. Adopting a proactive mindset by shifting from "why is this happening to me?" to "this happened, now how will I respond?" is essential for effective action and personal agency.

013: Parenting to Tackle the Fear of Missing Out
In this thought-provoking episode of the Buckets of Change podcast, host Nick Goblirsch tackles the complex theme of "fear of missing out" or FOMO, and its deep-seated roots in our upbringing and societal expectations. The conversation navigates through the pressures of achievement culture and its potentially toxic repercussions on both adults and children. By weaving personal anecdotes with insights from the book "Never Enough" by Jennifer Brehenny Wallace, Nick eloquently stirs a dialogue about parenting, personal growth, and the courage to embrace change at any stage of life. Nick reflects on his own childhood and the lack of pressure to excel in sports or academics, contrasting it with today's high-stakes environment where parents often push their children towards achieving at all costs. The episode delves into the implications such pressure can have on long-term happiness and the ability to make life changes. Additionally, Nick shares his personal experiences with career transitions and social settings, drawing connections between past conditioning and present decisions. Key Takeaways: The fear of missing out (FOMO) is often a product of our childhood experiences and societal pressures to conform to certain paths of success. An overemphasis on achievement from a young age may lead to a fixation on external validation and comparisons in adulthood. A balanced approach to parenting encourages self-discovery and the realization that talent and interests can evolve over time. Personal fulfillment and the ability to adapt to changes are heavily influenced by our early life conditioning and the expectations set by our upbringing. It's never too late to reconsider one’s path, aim for a career transition, or seek new experiences, irrespective of past conditioning.
