In this deeply encouraging solo episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer speaks directly into the exhaustion, overwhelm, and spiritual disconnection many people feel during the holiday season. While the world encourages us to “push through,” “finish the year strong,” or “just start again in January,” Justin exposes the real issue: most people don’t lack capability—they lack recovery.

In this episode, Justin walks through a powerful 7-Day Night Routine Reset—a simple, stackable system anyone can do at home, on the road, or in the middle of holiday chaos. Each daily reset takes less than two minutes but produces dramatic improvements in HRV, sleep quality, emotional regulation, and overall peace.

Takeaways

• Small, consistent evening habits have exponential physiological impact.
• Your night routine is more important than your morning routine.
• High performers often operate in “extreme environments,” making intentional recovery even more essential.
• The one habit that spikes your HRV reveals your biggest “lever” for healing.
  
  Sound Bites
• “There isn’t undeniable evidence that you are who you say you are—and that’s why the holidays feel so hard.”
• “You’re not broken. You’ve just never given your body permission to recover.”
• “Rest doesn’t slow you down. It restores the version of you God designed.”
• “Stacking small habits creates big capacity.”
• “You can thrive during the holidays—you just need rhythm, not more hustle.

In this practical and eye-opening solo episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer returns to the studio after 37 days on the road to unpack one of the biggest frustrations he sees in clients today: we’re drowning in health data—but starved for wisdom.

Justin reflects on years of working with athletes, touring artists, entrepreneurs, and high performers who obsess over “perfect scores,” recovery percentages, and the chase for “optimal.” But the real breakthrough doesn’t come from wearing more devices or collecting more numbers—it comes from interpreting what the body is actually saying.

Through personal stories, experiences from touring, and a powerful real-life client transformation, Justin breaks down the wearable conundrum: the cultural lie that your device knows best. In reality, wisdom—not algorithms—is what creates sustainable change. He reveals the four metrics that actually matter, the 3-day trend rule, and why reacting to a single number is sabotaging your progress.

Takeaways

• Recovery, readiness, and sleep “scores” are man-made algorithms, not truth.
• Wisdom comes from raw metrics, not colors, badges, or percentages.
• The 3-day trend rule reveals patterns your daily numbers can’t.
• Data without context leads to frustration, misalignment, and burnout.
• Your body tells the truth—technology can only reflect it.
• Stress is multi-dimensional: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual.
• Real progress comes from adjusting lifestyle rhythms, not adding hacks.

Sound Bites

• “Chasing optimal keeps you from ever living optimal.”
• “Your wearable is a tool—not your identity, not your worth.”
• “Scores are algorithms; wisdom is interpretation.”
• “Knowledge is knowing. Wisdom is understanding.”
• “HRV is the language of your body’s stress adaptation.”

In this deeply honest solo episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer opens up about a triggering moment that forced him to confront the cultural lie of “hustle harder.” After seeing a client publicly champion a work-until-you-break mentality—the very mindset that once led them to burnout—Justin reflects on the destructive pursuit of worth through achievement.

He unpacks how striving steals our peace, fractures our identity, and disconnects us from God’s rhythms. Drawing from past personal battles with burnout and insights from his recent conversation with worship artist Pat Barrett, Justin explores the life-changing power of contentment: needing nothing, proving nothing, and operating from God-given identity instead of worldly ambition.

This episode is a call to pause, evaluate the lies you’ve believed about success, and realign your life with the rhythms God designed you to thrive in. Whether you’re on the brink of burnout or simply tired of the chase, Justin offers a path back to peace, presence, and purpose.

Takeaways

• The world’s version of success often leads to decay, disconnection, and burnout.
• Striving for validation costs your health, peace, and relationships.
• Contentment—not achievement—is what unlocks true creativity, freedom, and capacity.
• Boundaries are spiritual: they create presence, peace, and protection.
• Integration doesn't mean constant work—it requires intentional separation and presence.
• You can’t operate in your calling while living in chaos.
• Your body signals misalignment through anxiety, exhaustion, weight gain, and brain fog.
• God designed rhythms of rest, obedience, and peace so you can thrive.
• Living by the world’s expectations leads to destruction; living by God’s design leads to purpose.
• Healing comes from alignment—not more effort, but more surrender.
  
  

Sound Bites

• “The world applauds burnout—but it destroys your soul.”
• “A content person is dangerous because they need nothing from anyone.”
• “If you have no boundaries, you have no presence. Without presence, you have no peace.”
• “Striving steals your health, but obedience restores it.”
• “Your body is telling you the truth—even when the world is lying to you.”

In this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer sits down with worship artist and songwriter Patt Barrett for a raw and transformative conversation about obedience, ambition, and the true cost of success. Patt shares how his pursuit of purpose and performance once led him to burnout — and how learning to say “no” became an act of worship. Together, they unpack what it means to live a life of holy ambition, to hear God’s voice amidst noise, and to redefine success beyond productivity. This episode challenges listeners to examine their pace, protect what truly matters, and pursue a life of alignment over achievement.

Takeaways

• Saying “yes” to everything isn’t obedience.
• True success is measured by alignment, not output.
• God’s voice often contrasts with worldly ambition.
• Discipline means protecting what matters most.
• Health, rest, and family are spiritual priorities.
• You can’t serve others from an empty tank.
• Obedience sometimes looks like slowing down.
• Productivity doesn’t equal purpose.
• Growth without boundaries leads to burnout.
• God can do more with your obedience than with your effort.

Sound Bites

“Obedience almost ruined my career—but it saved my soul.”
“You can’t gain the world and keep your peace.”
“God doesn’t need your hustle; He wants your heart.”

Episode Overview
Happy Thanksgiving week! On The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer shares ten simple, powerful habits to enjoy the feast, family, and football—without the bloat, sluggishness, or sleep crash that derails your momentum into December. This is a stewardship-first approach: stabilize circadian rhythm and blood sugar, support detox pathways, protect HRV and sleep, and anchor the day with gratitude so you roll into the holidays energized.
Episode Highlights
Foundation (Habits 1–3)
Morning Light + Movement — 10–15 min outside (walk, breathwork, easy cardio) to anchor circadian rhythm and prime VO₂.

Hydration Before Celebration — 20–30 oz water + electrolytes on waking; keep fluids steady all day.

Breathwork Bookends — 2 minutes AM & PM (2 nasal inhales, 1 mouth exhale) + gratitude to lower stress and steady HRV.

Food, Rhythm & Energy (Habits 4–6)
4) Protein-First Strategy — Eat a protein-heavy breakfast; at the feast, lead with protein to curb spikes and cravings.
5) Walk 5 Before / 5 After — Mini-walks around meals improve insulin sensitivity and fight food-coma.
6) Create an Eating Window — Finish food ≥3 hours before bed to protect sleep quality and next-day energy.
Sleep & Recovery (Habits 7–8)
7) Block Blue Light After Dinner — Dim overheads, use lamps/candles; blue-light glasses if screens are on.
8) Limit Alcohol — If you drink, do it earlier and sparingly; stop after dinner to safeguard deep sleep.
Mindset & Movement (Habits 9–10)
9) Get Outside: Walk / Play / Breathe — Family walk, backyard football, light sun = mood up, lymph moving.
10) Gratitude Is the Anchor — Name 3 specific gratitudes (high–low–buffalo); gratitude reliably supports HRV and calm.
Sample Thanksgiving Day Flow (Justin’s Template)
AM: Open blinds, light + walk, 2–3 min breath + gratitude, hydrate, optional Turkey Trot.
Feast (~4–5 pm): Lead with protein & fiber, walk 5 before/after, desserts inside your 3-hr pre-bed cutoff.

Evening: Dim lights / glasses on, no alcohol after dinner, 2–3 min breath + gratitude, lights-out on schedule.

Action Steps
Pick 2–3 habits to lock in this week (e.g., AM light, protein-first, 3–2–1 wind-down).

Share your Turkey Trot, family walk, blue-light setup, or gratitude stack and tag Justin.

Remember: This is separation season—small, consistent reps compound into January.

Episode Overview

In this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer dismantles the myth that winter causes “cold and flu season.” He shows how a stack of lifestyle dominos—back-to-school schedules, less sunlight, more indoor time, circadian disruption (hello, daylight savings), lower movement, and sugar spikes—prime our immune systems for defeat. Then he lays out an actionable, step-by-step Own It Immune Protocol to stay resilient through the holidays so your household becomes the one everyone asks, “How are you never sick?”

Episode Highlights

• Domino #1: Back to School (Sept/Early Fall)
  Less outdoor time & sunlight → lower vitamin D, more indoor exposure, schedule stress, earlier mornings → circadian disruption + reduced sleep quality.
  
  
  
• Domino #2: Daylight Savings (Late Oct/Early Nov)
  Earlier darkness → mood dips, lower activity, melatonin/cortisol rhythm thrown off → worse sleep, lower HRV, higher inflammation.
  
  
  
• Domino #3: Sugar Season (Halloween → Holidays)
  Candy/party foods → acute immune suppression for 4–6 hours post-load; repeat hits + late nights = rolling vulnerability.
  
  
  
• Self-Fulfilling Slide
  Less light & movement → lower VO₂ and energy → move even less → sleep & recovery worsen → immunity tanks.
  
  
  
• Mindset Shift
  It’s not an unstoppable winter force—it’s a predictable pattern you can interrupt.
  
  
  

The Own It Immune Protocol (Holiday Edition)

(Lifestyle first; supplements support but don’t replace habits. Not medical advice.)

Sunlight & Light Hygiene

• A.M. light (5–10 min) outdoors within an hour of waking to anchor circadian rhythm.
  
  
  
• Midday sun (10–20 min) to support vitamin D synthesis when possible.
  
  
  
• Evening: Dim house lights 2–3 hrs pre-bed; avoid overhead glare; use lamps.
  
  
  

Sleep & Rhythm

• Fixed sleep/wake window (±30 min) even on weekends.
  
  
  
• 3–2–1 wind-down: 3 hrs no heavy food/alcohol; 2 hrs no work; 1 hr no screens (or strict blue-light filters).
  
  
  
• Cool, dark room; nasal breathing; white noise if needed.
  
  
  

Movement & Breath

• Daily zone-2 (20–40 min) walk or easy cardio; add 10–20 min strength circuit 3x/week.
  
  
  
• Pattern-interrupt breath: 4–6 slow nasal breaths before meals & during stress to keep you parasympathetic.
  
  
  

Sugar & Party Strategy

• Protein-first at gatherings (20–30g) + fiber & fluids before dessert.
  
  
  
• One-plate rule; if sweets, pair with protein/fat to blunt spikes.
  
  
  
• Cut off caffeine by 10–11 a.m. to protect sleep.
  
  
  

Foundational Nutrition

• Daily anchors: protein (~0.7–1.0 g/lb goal weight), colorful produce, mineral-rich foods (red meat, seafood, eggs, dairy if tolerated,

Episode Overview
In this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer challenges the popular “Start With Why” playbook. For business, it can inspire; for transformation (health, identity, spiritual life), it often fails—because purpose without identity is precarious.

Justin lays out a paradoxically simple flip: Start With WHO. When you know who you are in Christ, your WHAT (daily practices) flows naturally, God supplies the HOW (people, methods, rhythms), and the WHY emerges as fruit—not as pressure. He unpacks identity-driven health, breath as a bridge between body and spirit, and how “going slow” creates depth that compounds into durable change.

Episode Highlights
- What “Why-First” Misses: It fuels performance-driven faith and burnout when outcomes wobble.
- Purpose without identity cracks under pressure.
- The Identity-First Model: WHO → WHAT → HOW → WHY
- WHO: Receive identity (beloved, chosen; specific calling like “leader of leaders” or “generational shifter”). You don’t earn it—you receive it.
- WHAT: Practices flow from identity (sleep/wake rhythms, fueling, movement, stewardship habits).
- HOW: God reveals methods, mentors, and systems as you walk in obedience.
- WHY: Discovered over time as aligned fruit, not forced at the start.
- Faith + Physiology: Breathwork as a physiological bridge to presence and listening; cues the nervous system toward calm so obedience becomes natural, not strained.
- S.L.O.W. Tie-In: Stillness → Listen → Obedience → Wisdom. Depth first; speed later.

Case Examples:
- Personal: Justin’s “leader of leaders” identity clarifies daily standards and decisions.
- Artist: Aligning identity (“humble revivalist”) enabled capacity for larger stages without burnout.

Common Traps:
- Over-clarity Paralysis: Using “I don’t know my why” as procrastination disguised as purpose.
- Why-Churn: Chasing new missions without rooting in identity → fatigue, inconsistency.

Action Steps
- Morning (3 minutes): Breath, then declare 2–3 identity truths (e.g., “I am beloved,” “I am a steward,” “I am a generational shifter”).
- One Identity-Aligned Action: Ask, “Given who I am, what’s one thing I do today?” Do it.
- Obedience Rep: Take one small obedient step daily—then journal evidence of fruit (even subtle).
- Weekly Review (10 minutes): Note patterns: Did WHO make WHAT easier? Did any HOW/WHY surface?
- Pair With S.L.O.W.: Create 5 minutes of stillness before planning; listen, then act.

Key Ideas & Quotes
“Purpose without identity is precarious.”
“You don’t earn your WHO; you receive it.”
“Be → Do → Discover Why.”
“The slower you go (in depth), the faster He can move.”
“Obedience is the hinge between hearing and harvest.”

Tools Mentioned
- Breathwork to prime presence and recall identity before action.
- Identity Journal for daily WHO statements and obedience logs.
- S.L.O.W. (Stillness–Listen–Obedience–Wisdom) as the meta-rhythm for discernment.

Episode Overview

In this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer introduces “Vitamin G”—gratitude—as a spiritual discipline and a biological signal that shifts the body from protect → heal. Beyond surface-level thank-yous, Justin unpacks embodied gratitude that rewires the brain, raises HRV, lowers cortisol, and realigns your nervous system with peace and presence. From worship playlists to breath-linked journaling, he shows how gratitude transforms physiology—and why it’s the essential “vitamin” your soul needs to thrive.

Episode Highlights

• Gratitude vs. Thankfulness: Moving from polite thanks to embodied reverence that changes state.
  
  
  
• Bio-Signal, Not Just Mindset: Gratitude activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/repair), often reflected as higher HRV, better recovery, immune function, and emotional regulation.
  
  
  
• Neurochemistry of Gratitude: Engages the prefrontal cortex; supports serotonin & dopamine pathways → durable, positive neural wiring (not just a temporary mood).
  
  
  
• Faith Meets Physiology: Scripture’s call to thanksgiving aligns with measurable stress reduction and decision clarity.
  
  
  
• Environment Matters: Music and inputs shift state (e.g., worship vs. “depressive playlist”); be the thermostat, not the thermometer.
  
  
  
• Real-World Wins: Clients who integrate gratitude stacks often see HRV and symptom improvements (e.g., brain fog, bloat) as stress load decreases.
  Pattern Interrupt (daytime):
  When stress hits, take one slow breath and recall one specific gratitude; notice the state shift.
  
  
  
• Evening Rewind (3–5 minutes):
  Play High–Low–Buffalo (high = win, low = challenge, buffalo = surprise) and find gratitude in each.
  
  
  
• Track Your HRV:
  Note last month’s average; run the three practices for 7 days and compare average HRV, sleep quality, and mood.
  
  
  
• Worship Playlist:
  Start or end the day with gratitude-centered worship to prime the nervous system for calm, clarity, and connection.
  
  
  

Scripture & Studies Mentioned

• Psalm 100:4 — Enter his gates with thanksgiving (gratitude opens gates).
  
  
  
• Psalm 46:10 — Be still and know (stillness precedes state change).
  
  
  
• Gratitude & HRV / Parasympathetic Activation: Research linking gratitude journaling/practice to improved HRV, emotional regulation, and recovery.
  
  
  
• Neuroplasticity & Neurochemistry: Gratitude practices support prefrontal activation and serotonin/dopamine balance, reinforcing resilient pathways.
