From pricing thousand-gallon pumps to dump fees, grease traps, and service agreements, this is the real playbook for scaling a modern Septic Pumping operation.They unpack the entire stack—how a Septic Truck Business goes beyond “just pumping” into repairs, installs, commercial work, and recurring maintenance—plus route density, transfer (frac) tanks, land application vs treatment plants, AR policies, and the software/marketing engines (LSA, PPC, ServiceTitan/Housecall Pro) that drive profitable Septic Pumping growth.

On today show, we are talking about the impact of the newly announced $100,000 fee associated with the H1B visa to the United States. According to my research, historically the United States had admitted 65,000 H1 B visas per year with an additional 20,000 visa for those holding advanced US degrees.Anytime there is a major policy shift. The marketplace will adapt and find a new way to optimize the allocation of talent. Silicon Valley was cited as one of the Main reasons for the policy change.The tech industry has seen significant layoffs over the past year. Companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook have all released tens of thousands over the past year.The policy change will probably see some of those laid off workers getting rehired and those international workers covered by a visa, now a very expensive visa, being sent home to their country of origin.The largest user of H1B visas is Amazon with over 14,600 visa holders. At $100,000 a year each, this would cost an additional $1.4B in fees to the US government. I personally would be surprise if any company would just roll over and pay for an additional $1.4B in fees. The top users are Amazon, TCS from India with about 5500, Microsoft with a little over 5100, Meta with about 5100.Even Walmart has about 2400. I would bet that Walmart would move those positions to their software design center in Toronto or Ottawa and save $239M dollars with zero loss of productivity. When I ran an engineering organization, we did not use the H1B Visa program to import labour per se. We used the program to bring a few people from some of the remote design centres and immerse them in the culture in our Sunnyvale office so that they could in turn cross pollinate the culture across the organization. It gave that individual a foreign expat assignment and at the same time improved the cohesiveness between the different design centres around the world. They would later return to their remote design centre. I personally believe that the use of the H1B Visa will drop to nearly zero with the imposition of this new policy. That means another 100,000 people in high paying jobs will likely leave the US. These people will probably continue to work for the same company from their country of origin, if they are an individual contributor. If they are in a managerial role, then the relationship gets more complicated. I truly can't think of too many companies that will be willing to pay that $100,000 fee for the visa. This year 2025 was the first year in which US population has shrunk in almost 100 years. Shrinking population means a shrinking economy, especially when you consider that 70% of the GDP is based on consumption. ----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

This week's Hot Topics: A diesel emissions case delay in Wyoming may signal shifting federal enforcement. Plus: a rare fatal bear attack in Arkansas, a $1.4B poaching crisis, and California ranchers struggle against surging wolf depredation. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Federal Diesel 'Delete' Prosecutions, Arkansas Bear Tragedy, and the Hidden Cost of Poaching and California's Wolf Crisis  Wyoming Diesel 'Delete' Case Delay Signals Possible Shift in Federal Prosecution According to the Cowboy State Daily, The federal case against Levi Krech, a Gillette man accused of tampering with diesel truck emissions systems, has been delayed, sparking hopes that the federal government might be backing off from aggressively pursuing "delete" cases. Krech faces felony charges under the Clean Air Act, but his defense attorney believes the delay could signal a shift in the enforcement approach under the new administration. Krech was initially scheduled to plead guilty on September 11, but a request for more time to review changes in laws and regulations led to a rescheduled hearing. Krech, who owns Unique Performance, a diesel shop in Gillette, had been involved in the "delete" tuning business—removing emissions systems from diesel trucks, a practice that was once considered legal in Wyoming. His case follows a broader national trend where small business owners in the diesel tuning industry are facing increasing scrutiny. Krech's defense attorney argues that federal prosecutions targeting individuals like him, who cannot afford the lengthy legal battles, are unfair and disproportionate, especially as emissions systems can often be costly to repair. Krech's case also stands out due to his personal history. Once a troubled teenager involved in theft, Krech turned his life around after completing a rigorous probation program, eventually starting his own business. His story reflects the potential for individuals to rehabilitate, raising questions about whether the federal government should continue treating diesel emissions tampering as a criminal act rather than a civil issue. In the broader context, some lawmakers and environmental advocates argue that "deletes" contribute to significant air pollution, which harms p ublic health. However, others contend that federal actions against small business owners in industries like diesel tuning are overreaching and fail to consider the practical realities of running a small business. With the case delay and discussions in Congress over the fairness of federal enforcement, Krech and others in the industry are holding out hope that a more balanced approach will prevail.

On September 3, the elderly man was working on his tractor by the side of a road in the Mulberry Mountain area when he was mauled by the bear. His son witnessed the attack and was able to intervene, helping to free his father from the animal. Despite being airlifted to a hospital and receiving intensive care, the man's injuries were too severe, and he passed away on September 14. Arkansas Game and Fish Commission officials confirmed the tragic news, noting that the bear involved was likely a yearling weighing 70 to 80 pounds. The bear was swiftly located and euthanized by authorities. Following the incident, wildlife officials conducted tests on the bear, confirming it tested negative for rabies and distemper. This attack is considered “unheard of” by local authorities, with officials stating they hadn't encountered a black bear attacking a human in Arkansas in over 25 years. This rare and unprovoked attack has shaken the local community, with the family remembering the man as a beloved father and grandfather who was doing what he loved—working on his land—when the tragic event occurred. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/survival/arkansas-bear-attack-fatal/ Poaching Costs Americans Billions Annually, Study Reveals Hidden Impact According to Outdoor Life, Wildlife poaching in the U.S. is costing taxpayers a staggering $1.4 billion every year, according to a new study from the Boone and Crockett Club. Despite the high financial and ecological toll, more than 95% of wildlife poaching incidents go undetected. The study, which aimed to quantify poaching's scope, found that poachers face minimal penalties, making it an unappealing deterrent. This lack of enforcement contributes to a massive loss of wildlife, hunting license revenue, and conservation funds. The research highlights that poaching is a significant contributor to the financial loss of big-game animals, such as whitetail deer and elk. For example, the restitution cost for a trophy elk can reach up to $30,000. With poaching detection rates as low as 4%, millions of dollars in fines and replacement costs go uncollected. Additionally, this unreported poaching undermines public trust in wildlife management and depletes resources intended for conservation efforts. Researchers used criminological methods to analyze poaching motivations, ranging from trophy hunting to financial gain, and concluded that increasing detection rates and harsher penalties are key strategies to reduce poaching. The study also recommends raising awareness among ethical hunters to help combat the stigma and promote the message that poaching harms everyone, not just wildlife enthusiasts. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/study-wildlife-poaching-rates/ California's Wolf Crisis: Cattle Producers Suffer Amid Unchecked Predator Growth According to Tri-State Livestock News, The wolf population in California is rapidly expanding, and for ranchers, it's turning into an escalating crisis. This year alone, Paul Roen, a Sierra County Supervisor and ranch manager, has seen wolves kill at least 37 head of cattle on his ranch. Roen describes it as an “absolute massacre,” and county sheriff Mike Fisher agrees, calling the losses “unprecedented” for Sierra Valley. But the damage doesn't end with numbers — it's the emotional toll of losing livestock in such a traumatic way that no compensation check can replace. In total, wolves have been confirmed to have killed 73 cattle in the region as of September 2025, but Roen suspects the real number is higher, with some carcasses left unrecognizable. While the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) works to deter the wolves using non-lethal methods, ranchers like Roen argue these efforts are falling short. The wolves are relentless, killing animals of all sizes, maiming livestock, and often leaving behind nothing but remnants of carcasses. To make matters worse, the protocols for proving wolf kills are strict, leaving many depredations uncounted. Ranchers have also expressed frustration with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's strategy, which has involved placing food at wolf dens, a tactic Roen believes is ineffective. Ranchers aren't just asking for compensation; they want solutions. The California Cattlemen's Association (CCA) is calling for the delisting of the gray wolf, citing the rapid increase in wolf numbers and the devastating effects on local cattle producers. They point to bipartisan support for this action, both during the Obama and Trump administrations. With wolves now present in areas like Sierra Valley in large packs, ranchers and county officials are demanding more action. Roen's plea is simple: “We are not going to co-habitate with these animals. They have to be removed.” For ranchers, the question is no longer just about numbers or compensation. It's about whether California will step in to protect the livelihoods of those who provide food for the state—and the nation.

Bernie Maloney: Problems vs. Solutions: The Great Product Owner Distinction Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Strategic Problem Solver Bernie describes an exemplary Product Owner from a stealth program sponsored by a CTO, where the company needed to create new intellectual property. This Great Product Owner understood that Agile operates in three dimensions: most organizations only focus on outputs and delivery (first dimension), some reach outcomes (second dimension), but the truly great ones operate in the third dimension of strategic or business agility - defining problems worth solving. This Product Owner knew that high-performing teams need to understand what problem is worth solving rather than just receiving solutions to build. They embraced the Mobius loop approach, focusing on discovering the right problems rather than jumping straight to solutions. In this segment, we refer to the Mobius Loop, and to Steve Blank's work on the job of a startup.  We also refer to the episode with Elliott Parker on the critical importance of the “startup mindset” to foster innovation in larger organizations.  The Bad Product Owner: The Backlog Jockey with Authority Issues Bernie identifies the anti-pattern of Product Owners being treated as mere "backlog jockeys" by their organizations, which forces them into solution-building mode rather than problem-solving mode. These Product Owners don't understand the importance of saying "no" and lack clarity about intent and goals. The worst case Bernie encountered was a team manager who also served as Product Owner, wielding positional authority that shut down team communication. This person would interrupt daily scrums, causing teams to revert to waiting for direction rather than self-organizing. The combination of unclear intent and positional authority creates a toxic environment that destroys team autonomy and psychological safety. Self-reflection Question: Is your Product Owner focused on defining problems worth solving, or are they primarily managing a backlog of predetermined solutions?

Bernie Maloney: From Permission-Seeking to Forgiveness-Begging—Agile Team Evolution in Self-Management Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Bernie defines success for Scrum Masters as creating teams that can thrive and do their best work independently. His ultimate goal is to make himself unnecessary - developing self-directing teams that step out of waiting for direction and instead seek permission or even beg forgiveness when needed. Using the "Circles and Soup" framework, Bernie helps teams stretch their circles of influence and control. He recognizes that every manager wants teams to succeed but may lack the necessary tools, making it crucial for Scrum Masters to coach managers as well. Bernie recommends building a backlog of organizational impediments and focusing on the top priority that will move the ball forward most effectively. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sailboat Bernie champions the Sailboat retrospective format for its simplicity and adaptability. While the basic format is straightforward, he appreciates that you can add layers of complexity as needed. Bernie tends to keep retrospectives simple and also mentions the "What the Duck?" technique as another valuable retrospective tool. He suggests incorporating creative elements like having people build LEGO representations of what they're discussing, which helps teams visualize and engage with concepts more effectively. To know more about LEGO Serious Play, check out the Serious Play book.  In this segment, we also refer to Dissociation in Psychology, which helps with "third position" coaching/thinking, and Bernie's video on creative retrospective formats.  Self-reflection Question: How are you measuring whether your teams are becoming more self-directing, and what specific behaviors indicate they're ready to operate with less guidance?

Bernie Maloney: Mastering Complexity Through Systems Thinking and NLP Coaching Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Bernie addresses the constant challenge of mid-sprint changes by asking the crucial question: "what do you want to trade in for that new request?" His approach centers on recognizing that everyone is trying to do their best with what they have, using techniques from NLP and the three coaching positions to help people see the whole system. Bernie emphasizes rapport building as a key skill for Scrum Masters and warns against the anti-pattern of becoming judgmental when challenges arise. He advocates for moving from a plan-and-predict mentality to sense-and-respond thinking, highlighting the importance of conducting retrospectives once challenges are solved. Bernie's coaching philosophy revolves around helping people step into the "third position" - a dissociated perspective that enables better problem-solving and systems thinking.

The Make America Healthy Again Commission released itssecond report Tuesday, recommending, among other efforts, an investigation into a possible link between vaccines and the uptick in chronic disease. At a livestreamed MAHA commission meeting, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy painted a dire picture of the country's health, saying the U.S. now has “the highest chronic disease burden of any country in the world.” Looking back to last week, all eyes were on HealthSecretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s appearance before the Senate Finance Committee. The combative showdown amounted to little more than political theater, according to industry watchers, with Kennedy accusing former CDC Director Susan Monarez of lying in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal about his alleged request that she approve vaccine advisors' recommendations in advance of their meeting later this month.Over at the FDA, BioSpace combed through the latest cache of publicized complete response letters (CRLs), including one for Lykos' MDMA-based therapeutic for post-traumatic stress disorder. Going forward, the agency has promised to release CRLs in real time. The greater transparency could help companies spinning on a carousel of confusion caused by all the recent regulatory change. In other FDA news, we take a deep dive into new expert panels, which some commentators view as one-sided, and into the new rare disease approval framework, which one critic called “all wrapper and no gift.” And in the weight loss space, the FDA debuted a consumer “green list” for GLP-1 ingredients. Meanwhile, at the World Conference on Lung Cancer inBarcelona, several data readouts caught our attention. In particular, Summit Therapeutics released disappointing data for its PD-L1/VEGFa bispecific antibody ivonescimab in Western populations—a finding some analysts said could have readthroughs to Bristol Myers Squibb/BioNTech's first ever global data readout for its L1/VEGFa bispecific.Finally, in Biopharm Executive this week, check out features on contingent value rights, which have been getting tacked on to biopharma deals more and more, Amgen's pipeline beyond the obesity drug MariTide and Novartis' recent deal spree, which included the $1.4B acquisition of Tourmaline on Tuesday.

Bernie Maloney: The Triangulation Technique—Coaching Agile Teams Through Challenges Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Bernie identifies critical patterns that cause teams to self-destruct, with lack of clarity about intention being the most common culprit. When teams are treated as mere "task workers" without clear vision, strategy, or goals, they become depressed and directionless. Some teams seek forgiveness after failed experiments, while others get stuck seeking permission without taking enough self-leadership. Bernie emphasizes that waiting for direction is fundamentally self-destructive behavior, and Scrum Masters must create safety for teams to reach high performance. He introduces the coaching technique of triangulation, where problems become a third point that coach and coachee examine together, side by side, rather than facing each other in opposition. In this segment, we talk about “What the Duck”, a Lego Serious Play workshop. Featured Book of the Week: Start with Why by Simon Sinek Bernie champions "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek as essential reading for Scrum Masters working to transform team culture. He explains that compelling stories are how leaders truly influence others, following the sequence of Attention-Emotion-Reason. This book helps Scrum Masters understand that their job fundamentally involves changing culture, and leaders must demonstrate the change they want to see. Bernie connects this to the broader leadership challenge of developing coaching and mentoring skills within organizational structures. During this segment, we also refer to the following books:  Drive, By Dan Pink Change the Culture, Change the Game, by Connors et al. The Secret Language of Leadership, by Denning Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders, by Peshawaria The Geek Way, by McAfee Right Kind of Wrong, by Edmondson   Self-reflection Question: What patterns of self-destructive behavior might your teams be exhibiting, and how could you help them move from seeking permission to taking ownership?

Bernie shares a powerful story about learning what psychological safety truly means through both success and failure. Working in a high-pressure division with tight timelines and margins, Bernie discovered the transformative power of the mantra "always make a new mistake." When he made a significant error and was met with understanding rather than punishment, he experienced firsthand how psychological safety enables teams to thrive.  Later, facing a different challenge where mistrust existed between management and teams, Bernie had to navigate the delicate balance of maintaining psychological safety while addressing management's desire for transparency. His solution was innovative: conduct retrospectives with the team first, then invite managers in at the end with anonymized contributions. Bernie's approach of framing changes as experiments helped people embrace newness, knowing it would be time-bound and reversible. In this episode we refer to Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP).  Self-reflection Question: How might your current approach to mistakes and experimentation be either fostering or undermining psychological safety within your team?

Today's Headlines: RFK Jr., still clinging to his shaky Health & Human Services title, melted down for three hours in front of the Senate yesterday over the CDC chaos and vaccine access. He accused the CDC director of lying about being fired, insisted he's not restricting vaccines (while restricting them), and somehow wandered into diabetes and Nobel Prizes for Trump. Massachusetts, meanwhile, became the first state to require insurers to cover vaccines regardless of federal policy. Jobs data isn't great: just 54,000 private-sector jobs added in August, layoffs up nearly 40%, and hiring plans at their lowest since 2009. The official BLS report lands today—Trump's first with his handpicked Heritage economist in charge. The Trump family's wealth ballooned by $5 billion this week thanks to their crypto empire—even as their shiny new WLFI token lost half its value. They also launched a bitcoin miner on Nasdaq and unveiled a $6.4B crypto treasury firm. Elsewhere, a federal court cleared the way for the Everglades-based “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center, and Macron announced a 26-country “coalition of the willing” to back Ukraine postwar, with US support still fuzzy.

BREAKING: CBC hires Temporary Foreign Workers for media, business and tech jobs in Ontario

On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice shares documents that Juno News has uncovered showing that CBC has hired at least 20 temporary foreign workers in their Ontario offices. As Candice reports, the CBC has used Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA) to claim they cannot find Canadian workers to fill these positions. The CBC, since 2015, has filed at least 20 of these in Ontario, including for positions they deem “high wage.” CBC claims to represent Canadian culture while taking $1.4B annually from the taxpayer, and yet, they prioritize hiring foreigners over Canadians. Later in the show, Candice is joined by Juno News host Alexander Brown to discuss the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and how it has led to record youth unemployment. They discuss Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's comments yesterday in PEI condemning the Liberal management of the TFWP and his prediction that the numbers will continue to rise despite Liberal promises to cap the program. They also discuss Conservative Immigration Critic Michelle Rempel Garner's work exposing LMIA and TFWP scams. Next, they discuss a new lawsuit against the CBC over its unwillingness to disclose subscription numbers for their lacklustre streaming service Gem. The CBC takes taxpayer money, then turns around and charges a premium to watch its programming, and on top of that, they're using even more taxpayer resources to go to court to block an access to information request and defend their lack of transparency.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Would you ever run two agencies at once? What if splitting your brand was the smartest way to protect and grow both? Today's featured guest spotted a booming opportunity in a regulated market—but knew that advertising those services alongside his work for conservative and tech clients could hurt his existing agency. His solution? Launch a separate brand. The move paid off as the regulated market surged during the pandemic. He shares what it's like to manage rapid growth, why he built a true people-first culture from day one, and how he stays optimistic even when agency life gets messy. Greg Peters is the founder of 4B Marketing and Hybrid Marketing in Denver, Colorado. 4B focuses on tech, energy, and government sectors, while Hybrid serves regulated markets—most notably the cannabis industry. A former tech sales pro turned serial entrepreneur, Greg's journey into agency ownership may have been accidental, but what's not accidental is how quickly he scaled. They hit $1M in revenue in their second year — and his people-first philosophy became the secret weapon behind his rapid growth. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why he chose to run two agencies. Growing to $1 million in just two years. Growing during the pandemic thanks to a controversial niche. Staying positive when agency life gets messy.

The split happened because of the cannabis side of the business. 4B's conservative government and tech clients wouldn't exactly appreciate a cannabis case study on the homepage. So Hybrid was born to serve the regulated, fast-growing cannabis market without spooking the more traditional side. This approach also positioned both agencies to thrive in their respective niches without brand confusion. For agency owners wondering when is it time to create new brands, separate brands aren't always about chasing new markets—they can be about protecting existing ones. If your positioning or client mix creates brand tension, a spin-off can give you room to grow in both spaces. From Accidental Agency Owner to $1M in Two Years Greg's path was a mix of corporate burnout and entrepreneurial curiosity. After years in tech sales and a detour into solar energy, he realized the big-company grind wasn't for him. So he launched a go-to-market consultancy for telecom.. Once creative work started flowing in—and his team started growing—he embraced the agency model. The real jump happened when he let go. In year two, Greg went from $600K to $1M by putting the right people in the right seats and empowering them to run their own “business units” within the agency. This is a shift most agency owners agree is vital to see true growth. However, it's usually uncomfortable and it takes time to make the decision to go all in. Greg made the leap quickly inspired by Richard Branson's philosophy in The Virgin Way. Years before starting the agency and as he read the book, he had already decided his mantra as a business owner should be putting people first and thus the people will put the client first. The result was a faster scale without burning out. The Pandemic Pivot: Cannabis Keeps Growing While many agencies hit pause in 2020, Greg's cannabis clients went into overdrive. With consumers stuck at home (and shopping local), demand spiked. That meant more competition, and suddenly the different cannabis providers needed more marketing to stand out. Hybrid Marketing doubled down on local search, “near me” campaigns, and brand differentiation—keeping clients top-of-mind while the industry boomed. For agency owners, this is a masterclass in following the growth. Greg didn't predict cannabis would save the year, but he positioned his agency to move quickly when the opportunity showed up. Sometimes the best growth strategy is staying close to your clients' markets and being ready to ride the wave. When the Org Chart Backfires Not every growth move is a win. One of Greg's biggest lessons came from rolling out an org chart he thought would streamline things—only to find it created confusion for clients and tension among the team. It was a gut punch, but also a turning point. He learned to check himself and remember this is only his first agency and there's still much to learn. Luckily, he was quick to strip out the toxicity created by that moment because culture eats strategy for breakfast. The goal isn't just to have a structure, it's to have one that actually works for your team and your clients. Staying Positive When Agency Life Gets Messy Greg has always naturally found himself on the more optimistic side of life. But his optimism isn't naive—it's built on grit, a strong support system, and relentless curiosity. From his wife's early encouragement (“It'll be okay,” even when the bank account said otherwise) to his own belief in learning every day, Greg credits mindset as much as skill for his success. For Greg, your network truly is your net worth and the more you can talk to people with the aim of creating a positive impact—whether that is on the financial business or helping somebody find a job or connecting them to a resource that'll help them—you put a lot of good stuff out into the universe without expectation, you'll get it back. Finally, curiosity is the most valuable trait an agency owner can have. Read widely, talk to people in and outside your industry, and always be asking, “What if?” It's that curiosity that fuels innovation, keeps you ahead of trends, and helps you navigate the inevitable ups and downs.

We talk a lot about self-care as moms, but most of the time, the examples we're given (bubble baths, massages, solo Target runs) only scratch the surface.   The truth is, there's not one kind of self-care. There are actually several distinct forms of care we need, and they each serve a different purpose in our lives and in our motherhood. When we only reach for one type, it makes sense that we still feel burned out, even after “taking a break.” This week on the podcast, I'm joined by self-care coach Mia Hemstad, who shares her simple, powerful framework: The 4B's of Self-Care© to help us better identify what we need (and when!).
