Culture. Webster's defines it in the corporate realm as: the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution or organization. How aware are YOU of YOUR COMPANY'S culture? When's the last time you really stopped and took a look at it? How does it align with your OWN personal values as a Christ follower? And if you're a leader, what are you doing to ensure your culture aligns with God's word and will? Romans 12:2, “Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” What is ONE ACTION you will take THIS WEEK, to align YOUR CULTURE with God's will?

Are you ready for this? He's back… In this episode of The Girls in Property podcast, Athena Dobson is joined once again by renowned speaker and NLP coach Akhtar Khan. Together, they explore a topic that resonates deeply with many entrepreneurs and professionals. The topic of Burnout.They begin by unpacking what burnout actually is, beyond just a popular term, looking at its symptoms, its emotional and physical impact, and how the constant pressure of hustle culture often leads people into a state of complete exhaustion.Akhtar offers thoughtful insights on the importance of recognising burnout early, the dangers of being driven by fear, and why building in time for rest and recovery is essential, not optional. The conversation then shifts towards a more empowering approach, moving from a fear-based mindset to one grounded in flow, energy management, and intentional living.Together, Athena and Akhtar delve into the importance of inner work, emotional healing, and listening to the body's signals – particularly for women. They reflect on how working in alignment with our natural rhythms can lead to more sustainable ambition, allowing us to achieve without sacrificing our wellbeing.This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-awareness, support, and love, both in our personal and professional lives. It encourages listeners to reflect on their own journeys, embrace a more balanced way of working, and create space for trust, flow, and ease.This conversation is for anyone who's ever faced burnout, is currently navigating it, feels they might be heading in that direction, or simply wants to better understand how to avoid it altogether. Wherever you are on your journey, I hope this episode offers some comfort, clarity, and practical insight. And if it reaches just one person who needs to hear it today, then our job here is done.

Balance Your Teacher Life: Tips for Educators to Avoid Burn-Out and Achieve Better Work-Life Balance
Send us a textHey teacher friend — you're back in school, and guess what's making its rounds again? Yep… the dreaded adjunct duty list
Arnold delivers a much-needed reality check on the hidden influence of our inner circle. Could your friendships be silently dulling your spiritual edge, draining your finances, or sabotaging your growth? Drawing from Proverbs 13:20, Arnold unpacks how the people closest to us shape our thinking, priorities, and ultimately, our legacy. If you're serious about walking in wisdom, this is the circle audit you didn't know you needed. Key Discussion Points [00:18] – Influence Shapes Outcomes Proverbs 13:20 sets the tone: your inner circle affects your spiritual, emotional, financial, and generational path. [05:13] – Hidden Influence Is Dangerous We absorb fears, habits, and mindsets unknowingly—especially via social media, which often replaces true wisdom. [08:45] – Compromised Circles Even Christian friends can erode values when they normalize compromise and misalignment with God. [11:08] – Jesus' Circle Strategy Jesus gave selective access. We should follow suit in choosing who we let closest. [12:41] – Relationship Red Flags Watch out for gossip, mockery, compromise, and resistance to your growth—they're signs your circle needs a rethink. [16:32] – Arnold's Personal Shift Arnold shares how his previous circle held him back and the questions that led to necessary change. [18:44] – Walking With the Wise Wise relationships involve accountability, exposure to truth, and living models of Godly conduct. [22:49] – Attract Wisdom by Living Wisely Be the kind of person that wise people want to be around. It starts with you. [24:03] – Foolish Friends = Costly Outcomes Fools drain energy, derail progress, and cause spiritual and financial instability. [28:02] – Legacy Through Relationships Who you walk with shapes the inheritance and influence you pass to the next generation. [39:05] – 7-Day Circle Audit Challenge: assess your circle, identify impact, and adjust where needed. [42:47] – Evaluate. Align. Adjust. A practical framework to move toward purpose-driven friendships. [44:23] – Next Episode Preview A look ahead at how foresight and wisdom help you see danger before it strikes. Highlights From The Episode “You absorb their dreams or the lack thereof.” “Some fools are successful by worldly standards but spiritually bankrupt.” “Wisdom isn't found by default—it's found by design.” “Your friendships today are shaping your children's tomorrow.” “Jesus didn't give full access to everyone equally. Why should you?” Practical Steps You Can Take Audit Your Circle – List the 5 people who influence you most. For each, write one word describing their impact. Ask the Hard Questions – Are they sharpening you or dulling you? Would you trade places with them in 10 years? Create Space – Without drama, start limiting access to those who drain you or pull you away from God's principles. Attract the Wise – Start living wisely and intentionally. Read, pray, grow—and wise people will notice. Take the 7-Day Challenge – Reflect daily and let God highlight who needs distance and who you need to draw closer to. Relevant Themes Covered Christian financial wisdom Biblical principles for relationships The impact of environment on personal growth Legacy building through Godly influence Emotional and spiritual boundaries Wisdom, discernment, and foresight Inner circle management according to scripture Connect with RTB For podcast updates, exclusive daily devotional emails and more, join the RTB community!

Ignoring small problems now can lead to significant costs later. Are you hoping your team's missteps, inefficiencies, or cultural issues will just “work themselves out”? In this episode of "It's Your Business," host Jess Dewell, a strategic growth consultant, is joined by Dean Barta, a financial advisor, and Christy Maxfield, a business consultant. They discuss how to identify the silent signals of larger issues and what to do when “business as usual” is no longer effective. They offer practical approaches and share hard-earned lessons from their direct experiences. You will learn: Why overlooking small misalignments holds your team back and can even halt projects altogether. How to recognize the issues you may be ignoring. The skills you need to develop or enhance. How to engage in healthy confrontation that leads to better decision-making. When you confront the actual conditions of your business, supported by data, you gain more value than simply relying on hopeful but unfounded narratives. Use your voice with courage. Whether you're a CEO, consultant, or team leader, you'll gain actionable insights on embracing difficult truths, leading with intention, and creating lasting momentum. -------------------- If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the “Growth Framework Reset” approach. This will help you keep learning and growing while working strategically on your business. -------------------- You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter, LinkedIn or the Red Direction website.

Send us a textAre you manfesting correctly? Ever wonder why your vision boards and affirmations aren't delivering results — even when you're “doing everything right”?Here's the truth: It's not your clarity. It's not your dedication. And it's definitely not your manifesting technique.✨ The real block? Your nervous system still doesn't feel safe receiving what you've been asking for.In this episode, I reveal Neville Goddard's forgotten manifestation test — a powerful somatic clue that shows whether your identity has truly shifted:“If your reactions are the same, you have not changed.”We explore the physical signs your body gives you when you're still anchored in an outdated self-concept — things like:Chest tightening after rejectionVoice trembling when you speak your priceShrinking when someone questions your worthThese aren't random. They're trauma echoes — unconscious nervous system patterns that reveal where your beliefs haven't fully caught up to your desire.

Most recruiting leaders talk about casting vision, but very few actually take the time to build one that's real, clear, and worth following. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk through the five pillars of a meaningful vision, and how to develop each one in a way that moves people and magnetizes the right talent to your team. Your vision is not just about where you're going. It's about who you're becoming and who you're building it with. This episode will help you move from vague messaging to a blueprint that inspires action. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most visions fall flat and how a clear, personal one becomes your recruiting advantage. [01:00] Pillar 1: Identity – Who are we really? Define the traits, values, and culture you stand on. [02:00] Pillar 2: Direction – Where are we going? Paint a vivid picture of the future you're building and why it matters. [03:00] Pillar 3: Belief – Why does this matter? Share the story, conviction, and emotion that give your vision meaning. [04:00] Pillar 4: Alignment – Who is this for? Define the ideal teammate and what mindset thrives in your environment. [05:00] Pillar 5: Path – How do we get there? Outline what the first 90 days and long-term growth look like under your leadership. [06:00] Recap – Vision becomes powerful when all five pillars are clear, aligned, and communicated consistently. [07:00] Final Challenge – Block one hour this week and start writing your vision using these five pillars as a framework. Key Takeaways If It's Vague, It's Forgettable – A compelling vision is rooted in clarity, not just motivation. Your Identity Is Your Anchor – Know who you are so you can lead with authenticity. Vision Must Inspire and Guide – It should stretch your team while showing them how to get there. Recruits Need to See Themselves in It – Alignment is key to attracting the right people. Without Path, Vision Stalls – A plan builds confidence. Recruits and team members need to know what happens next. A well-built vision becomes more than a message. It becomes a recruiting magnet and a cultural blueprint. The leaders who take time to define it clearly are the ones who build teams that last.

Let's build something worth following.

It may be something practical - what changes can be made now?Align your hearts and values, then separate the duties and responsibilities to align with strengths.Be willing to do things you don't like if it's worth it in support of some of the most vulnerable people around the world.

In this episode of the PBL Simplified Podcast, Ryan Steuer discusses how district leaders can effectively use grant funds to establish a sustainable project-based learning (PBL) culture that extends beyond the life of the grant. He emphasizes the importance of investing in people rather than programs, the necessity of professional development and coaching, and the significance of marketing and tracking success through data and stories. The conversation provides actionable insights for educational leaders looking to create lasting change in their schools. Takeaways Invest in your people to sustain PBL culture. Shift focus from programs to building belief. Coaching is essential for successful implementation. Professional development should include all leadership levels.

This is the only daily process you need to align your energy, activate your soul gifts, and manifest the future you're calling in. This MASTER process is your all-in-one energetic reset, activation, and manifestation portal. If you only did one practice every day, this would be it. As a seasoned channeller and energy worker, I've woven together my most powerful techniques, grounding, 5D Earth connection, heart and high heart activation, Light Language, source alignment, and quantum manifestation, into one soul-expanding practice you can return to daily. This is more than a meditation. It's a full-body frequency shift that clears what's not yours, reconnects you with your higher self, raises your vibration, and helps you collapse timelines to step into your most aligned, radiant reality. We go into depth covering:
Two Overarching 3 Kings Take-Aways God partners with ordinary people (messy) to accomplish His extraordinary purposes. Ordinary people are capable of mighty acts when we align our mind, heart and hands with God's. Solomon is Different KingPhysicallyBackground SkillsetWisdomThe Hebrew word for wisdom (hokma) means information + insight. The OT concept of wisdom carries a moral, ethical and an applied skill component. The NT word for wisdom (sophia) points to a practical and spiritual understanding of God's will and applying that knowledge to life. “Knowing the greatest goal in any situation and the best way to achieve it.” Pastor John PiperRemarkable Moment. Ordinary Day.1 Kings 3:16-28 (NIV) 16 Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17 One of them said, “Pardon me, my lord. This woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was there with me. 18 The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us. 19 “During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. 21 The next morning, I got up to nurse my son—and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn't the son I had borne.” 22 The other woman said, “No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.” But the first one insisted, “No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine.” And so they argued before the king. 23 The king said, “This one says, ‘My son is alive and your son is dead,' while that one says, ‘No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.'” 24 Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So, they brought a sword for the king. 25 He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.” 26 The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, “Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't kill him!” But the other said, “Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!” 27 Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.” 28 When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.1 Kings 4:29 (NIV) “God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.”Question: What was the genesis of Solomon's wisdom? Answer: Godly advice + a Godly ask.Godly Advice is two-fold. 1 Kings 2:1-4 (NIV) When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son. 2 “I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man, 3 and observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go 4 and that the Lord may keep his promise to me: ‘If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.' 1. Be strong, act like a man (NIV)…“show what you are made of” (Message) David is challenging/imploring Solomon to step up to what he was being called into. 2. Observe what the Lord requires. Align your words, will and ways to that of the Lord. It's not possible to lead at this level if you are out of alignment. Out of alignment places an untenable burden – emotional, intellectual, spiritual and physical on our shoulders. Alignment is a synergistic position that employs God's power to accomplish His/our joint purposes.Godly Ask. 2 Kings 3:3-15 (NIV) 3 Solomon showed his love for the Lord by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places. 4 The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. 5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” 6 Solomon answered, “You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day. 7 “Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?” 10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, 12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. 14 And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.” 15 Then Solomon awoke—and he realized it had been a dream. “I am only a child” Solomon's ask can from a place of self-awareness. All good leadership comes from a place of self-awareness. “The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this” Why? Because Solomon's was aligning with the Lord's purpose. He was falling in behind the leadership of YHWY – not asking YWHY to fall in behind his leadership! Is God's wisdom accessible to me? Godly Wisdom is neither secretive or elusive but you can only have it if you go for it! And when you “get it and follow it” there is a reward! 3 essentials to obtaining wisdom. Fear God. Trust God. Ask God. Each step comes with its own sets of rewards.Essential #1 Fear God. Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Reverence and Awe are the beginning of wisdom because if we don't hold God in the highest of regard, elevating Him and His counsel above ourselves and others, we won't align our actions with His… simple as that. Proverbs 14:12 (AMP) There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but its end is the way of death. REWARD #1. Proverbs 9:11-12 (NIV) 11 For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life. 12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.Essential #2 Trust God. Proverbs 3:1-8 (Charlie Amplified Version) INSTRUCTION 1My son, do not forget my teaching [these aren't secrets], but keep my commands in your heart [keep a tight grip], REWARD 2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. INSTRUCTION 3 Let love and faithfulness [hesed] never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart [keep God's hesed front in center of all emotions and decisions]. REWARD 4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. INSTRUCTION 5 Trust [rely on, have confidence in] in the Lord with all your heart [emotions] and lean not on your own understanding [what seems]; 6 in all your ways [decisions and movement] submit to him [yield], REWARD and he will make your paths straight. INSTRUCTION 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes [seems]; fear the Lord [be in awe] and shun [turn away/ reject] evil.REWARD 8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Essential #3. Ask God. James 1:2-8 (AMP) 5 If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame… Reward… and it will be given to him. 3 essentails to obtaining wisdom. Fear God. Elevate God over yourself. Trust God. Elevate His path over other's opinion. Ask God. Elevate God to your first and last ask. “Thou, O Christ, who went tempted in all points like we are, yet without sin, make us strong to overcome the desire to be wise and to be reputed wise by others as ignorant as ourselves. We turn from our wisdom as well from our folly and flee to Thee, the wisdom and the power of God. Amen” (AW Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy pg. 59.) “With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.” (AW Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy pg. 64.)

It's ask yourself very clearly, like, why haven't I done this? What has been in the way? Is this actually something I still want to do? Can I actually do it and then set new measurable goals, set new milestones and make it happen. Lesley Logan 0:14 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:53 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the purposeful convo I had with Wendee Close in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to listen to that one first, then come back and listen to this one, or listen to this one and see if you agree with what we liked about that one. It's your choice. That's what's really important about the Be It Till You See It podcast, you choose. You choose how you want to listen. Today is July 17th. Brad Crowell 1:22 You choose very closely. Lesley Logan 1:23 Yeah, I hope you like that, Wendee. I'm sure she hasn't heard that before. It's like, my mom's last name growing up was Friesen, and like, she was super tall, so they would always go, how is the weather up there? Is it Friesen? Right, like, wow. I know kids are clever and cruel. Anyways, that's, I don't know why that popped in my head. Welcome to ADHD. So today is July 17th 2025 and it's National Tattoo Day. It was also another day, but obviously I have to pick this one, tattooing, the art of inserting pigment under the dermis layer of the skin. Brad Crowell 2:00 In case you didn't know. Lesley Logan 2:01 To create a decorative, symbolic or pictorial design or just a sticker on your body, permanent sticker on your body. Brad Crowell 2:01 Permanent sticker on your body. Lesley Logan 2:06 How I like to think of it. And on National Tattoo Day, July 17th, we set time aside to learn more about the tattooing process. It's a societal importance and history. Okay, here we go.Brad Crowell 2:17 I didn't know that. I'm in on societal importance. Lesley Logan 2:20 You guys, in case you don't understand the process of picking which day, it really is like what title speaks to us, and then we learn about the day as we read about it with you on air, and that someday could become problematic, but we'll edit it out then I guess you'll never know. So if you don't have a tattoo, you likely, or you're likely, to know someone who does. And if you've asked them how they knew at the time when they were getting inked whether they would still want that design on their skin years or decades later, you may have just gotten a peculiar look instead of an explanation. There is a certainly a fraternal connection between people who bear tattoos, a connection that those without ink can never really understand. We asked one correspondent to try address this phenomenon. He said, tattoos began as a ceremony, and they're still kind of like that. Once you're in an artist's needle, it's like a little it's a little like a religious experience. It's like the aha moment people talk about having in a business life. It illuminates something you didn't see before. I don't understand any of that. That doesn't resonate with me in any. Brad Crowell 3:15 Yeah, me neither. Lesley Logan 3:16 So first of all, I overthought my first tattoo, way too much. Brad Crowell 3:20 I mean, took me 15 years to get my first tattoo, because of the same thing. Lesley Logan 3:25 15 years from when you're 18 or like?Brad Crowell 3:29 Yeah, yeah, I didn't get one. So I guess that's not true. I wanted to get a tattoo in my teens. My parents said no, but I started designing it in my teens. Lesley Logan 3:38 Okay, okay. Brad Crowell 3:39 And then I didn't actually get one until 30 years old.Lesley Logan 3:45 Yeah, I got my first one on a blind date.Brad Crowell 3:48 You got one on a blind date? Lesley Logan 3:50 Yeah, we wanted something to do. Brad Crowell 3:52 Wow. Lesley Logan 3:53 I know. Brad Crowell 3:53 This is the first time I'm hearing this story, y'all. Do tell. Lesley Logan 3:57 Anyways. Brad Crowell 3:58 How'd that go? Lesley Logan 3:59 I never saw that person again. And I covered up that tattoo after I left my ex with the cherry blossoms that we then added on to, and then I just got others. Because once you get the first one, you kind of start to just get other ones and.Brad Crowell 4:21 Well, the hurdle has been left, you know, like, you're, you're, there's this weird mental block of like, I don't know if I want to keep that thing on my body forever. And then after, after you get your first one, you realize no one actually gives a shit. And then also you're like yeah, you know.Lesley Logan 4:38 We speaking on podcast or proponents for tattoos? Brad Crowell 4:39 Yeah, I'm not. I'm not that worried about it either. Because here's the other thing, you can also change the tattoo or you can cover the tattoo or you can remove the tattoo.Lesley Logan 4:50 Or you can remove it. Keith Davidson removed all of his tattoos. He is a complete blank slate. Google it right now. Brad Crowell 4:55 No way. Lesley Logan 4:56 Google it right now, because I thought for sure, it's AI and people were saying it's AI, and he has done actual interviews about it, and he there's no way it's makeup. He has, he spent $200,000 getting them all removed. And I thought that's all it costs to cover remove his entire body. Brad Crowell 5:12 I mean, he had a he had. Lesley Logan 5:13 His whole head to toe, like he was so covered. So anyways, our neighbor is shout out to Brieanna, Viva Vanish skincare, she actually removes tattoos. So like, to me, you could just remove it, right? Or you could cover it up, but you, you, you do overthink the first ones, and then you kind of just get them, and they just become part of you. Also, I've gotten, like, my dream catcher, my dream catcher tattoo. It is really funny. When I got it. Remember this, Brad, I got the dream catcher tattoo. It takes up my whole fucking arm. We came back from Cambodia.Brad Crowell 5:48 Upper arm, shoulder down to elbow. Lesley Logan 5:49 Yeah, shoulder to my elbow. We come back from Cambodia and, like, literally, no one notices. Like, no one notices. And I'm starting to think that like it, people don't like it, you know, and all this stuff. And so I'm, like, starting to make this through my head, and then someone who I've never met in person, they only know me through social media. I was at an event, and they're like, oh my god, is that a new tattoo? And I said, it is. Thank you. I just got it, I just got it right. And other people are like, that's new. And I'm like, yeah, there are people who, like, have known me for years, and I'm like, they're like, well, you're just, like, a person with tattoos. You just have tattoos. So anyways, all I had to say is, you know, I saw a reel or a meme. It was just like, tattoos are just stickers for adults. And, like, we like pretty things.Brad Crowell 6:32 I'm in on that. And I was looking up the Pete Davidson thing still, and I found something really interesting. He did an interview with Variety, why he decided to remove all of his tattoos, and apparently he's not removed every single one, but he's removed the majority. He said, on deciding to remove his tattoos, I used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person, and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up, and I didn't. And I don't think there's anything wrong with tattoos, but mine, when I look at them, I remember a sad person that was very unsure, so just removing them and starting fresh, because that's what I think works best for me with my brain. When I look at them in the mirror, I don't want the reminder of, oh yeah, you were a fucking drug addict. Like, that's why you have a Sponge Bob smoking a joint on your back. So good for him. Lesley Logan 7:18 Oh, I love that. But see, that's the thing. You can just remove it. So, you know.Brad Crowell 7:22 I mean, it's a process, but it can be removed. It's money and time, yeah. Lesley Logan 7:26 You know what? There's a lot of things you could spend your money on. I, don't get something you don't want. But also like. You. Brad Crowell 7:33 I like, I mean there's definitely sentimentality around the tattoos that that I have, have put thought into them. It hasn't been just like, on a whim, but also, too, the more like, as you get after you get your first one, the second one, the decision to get it was, like, much faster than the first one. Lesley Logan 7:52 Well, I also just want to say, like, you don't have to get them, and it's also fine if you get them and don't over, like, don't overthink it so much because it, because you kind of make it perfect and, like, you're trying to get all perfect. And it's, it's, like, it's, there's no judgment either way, like, you're gonna, life will go on. Brad Crowell 8:10 Well, we are very big proponents of ink and tattoos. We think they're really fun and cool. Lesley Logan 8:15 If it's part of your personality, like, and also, like, I don't, I don't think I remember my parents saying, you like, oh, you're gonna be so judged. You'll never get a job, like, that has never happened to me one time, and I have tattoos all over my hands and like, no one notices. Brad Crowell 8:17 Yeah, yeah. Lesley Logan 8:17 You know. So most of them are for me anyways, because when I have to look at myself in the mirror all the time, and I have to, like, look at what I do, like, or on a camera live all the time, and I'm like, I just want something to look at that's not just my family. Just my face. Like, I'm so tired of looking at my own face, I would like to see something else. So that was really a lot of it for me. Anyways. Brad Crowell 8:50 Anyways. Lesley Logan 8:52 Back to this podcast (inaudible) coming up. So, today we actually kick off Agency Mini 11. That's happening right now. Brad Crowell 9:01 Right now. Right now.

And, and honestly, it's a killer program. So, and it's also not expensive, you should definitely do it.Lesley Logan 9:40 62.50 sign up today. Three days. First couple days of replays. There you go. All right. Then we are now really in the countdown of our Summer Tour the van has.Brad Crowell 9:52 We leave next week. Lesley Logan 9:54 I know the van has a new look. We have a huge tour going on. We have so many cities that are sold out. So many people are we're so excited to see in person for the first time, some we were seeing in person for the third or fourth time. We can't even wait. It's powered by Balanced Body, which means we actually bring some of the Contrology equipment with us. You can try it out. We have amazing prizes from them to give out, we're bringing Bayon. So it's opc.me/tour and then you can see all the different cities. And some of these cities, you are easily drivable. We have people who are coming to two cities, so you can do that too. Also, if you're having a little FOMO that we're not coming to a city anywhere in driving distance near you. And I just want to remind you, we are driving for several thousands of miles so you can drive a few hundred. Brad Crowell 10:38 Yeah, you can, it's okay, come join us. Lesley Logan 10:38 But it's like, if that's not an option, the Calgary event is a virtual event. And so it's in-person, of course, but there's virtual seats that are available, and they're limited. So you can get those at opc.me/tour, just pick the Calgary event. And then we come back.Brad Crowell 10:48 That's, I just want to call that again, if you weren't listening, we have virtual tickets for the summer tour for two workshops. Lesley Logan 10:51 Yeah, we've never done that before. Brad Crowell 10:56 Go to opc.me/calgary. To go directly to where you find them. Opc.me/calgary. Cool.Lesley Logan 11:05 Yeah. And then we come back rest up, unpack, repack, because we're going from summer to Scotland's fall, and we are going to be in the UK. We'll be in Leeds and in Essex. Brad Crowell 11:17 Yeah, we're running out of seats over there, y'all. It's exciting.Lesley Logan 11:19 Yeah, oh yeah. It's, well, at the time we're recording every time someone buys, it's like, this is, this stock is low. It's like, low it is. So Leeds only has a couple spots. Essex, we are offering day passes there, but every time someone buys a two-day pass, we run out of two-day passes. That's how that goes. So because it's a week during the week, because it's not nice, like, you can go to a whole workshop day during the weeks, plus, like, a vacation during the week, so go to opc.me/uk, I've had a ton of people going come do a tour in the UK. I'm like, I am, you guys, I'm coming in September. And we have a ton of our workshops that are happening at these locations. You can even do both locations. There's only like one workshop that overlaps, so opc.me/uk and then we'll come back at a couple weeks later, we go to Chicago for P.O.T., and then we go to Cambodia on our retreat. And it's not too late for you to sign up for our retreat for Cambodia, because we just bought our plane tickets.Brad Crowell 12:11 We just bought our plane tickets, and also we just had another person sign up, you know, so there's still time, absolutely, it's not like, you know, the plane tickets aren't getting overly crazy right now, which is nice. So pop in, come join us. Go to crows nest retreats.com. It's going to be a pretty small group this time, so I'll tell you (inaudible). Lesley Logan 12:11 If you don't like big crowds, it's the time to come, because I can't promise you it'll be a small group every time. In fact, I know 2026 has a ton of people, so you're gonna want to do this one because we'll have more time together. It's a lot of fun, and you can always come a day early or stay a day late.Brad Crowell 12:47 Well, we would encourage you to stay a day late, because we actually have two events that we can't include, quote-unquote, in the retreat. I mean, those events include going to see an elephant sanctuary, yeah. And then the second event is a waterfall excursion. And the reality is they're both just like, like, longer events that we couldn't fit into the flow of the actual retreat. Lesley Logan 13:08 Full day events, and also, like, especially the waterfall, we have to have a smaller group weather permitting, you know, all that stuff. So that's why they're extra so and on the extra days, and we're going to do them before we leave, so you should come, crowsnestretreats.com. Okay, we have a ton to talk about with Wendee, but we have an audience question.Brad Crowell 13:26 We sure do. @BrendaHornung1990 on YouTube asks, can I put a reformer in our garage? I'm in the southeast. So does it, so it does get hot in the summer southeast, probably like Georgia or Florida? I think I'd be more worried about the humidity. Lesley Logan 13:46 Good job, Brad, good job. Brad Crowell 13:48 Unless you've got a Contrology Reformer, which won't, you don't have to worry about the humidity as much. Yeah, there's no wood that's going to warp, right? Lesley Logan 13:55 Correct, because that's the thing. So, so the thing so one, I don't know which Reformer you're looking at that makes a difference. Two, so if you get a Balanced Body Reformer, that's wood, like a studio reformer, you have to worry about humidity for the wood. However, their springs have a coating on them, so you don't have to worry about the springs resting, whereas the Contrology, it's aluminum. And so you don't know. Lesley Logan 14:21 Or an Allegro 2. Lesley Logan 14:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you could do that. Brad Crowell 14:22 Allegro 2 is also aluminum. Lesley Logan 14:22 Yeah, so, uh, is it aluminum? I thought it's fiberglass. No, no, it's metal, I know, but is it alluminum, I don't think it's, it's white. Brad Crowell 14:34 Yeah, it's, it's aluminum. It's definitely not, it's not fiberglass. Lesley Logan 14:37 Really? We should (inaudible).Brad Crowell 14:37 It's definitely not fiberglass.Lesley Logan 14:37 Anyway.Brad Crowell 14:37 100% not fiberglass. Lesley Logan 14:37 Well, Brad is gonna, Brad is gonna, it's a prefab. I know that it's like the way they make it, anyways, the Contrology. I have friends who have them in Hawaii.Brad Crowell 14:50 Powder-coated aluminum. Lesley Logan 14:51 Okay, there you go. Brad was paying attention on the tour, not me. Anyways.Brad Crowell 14:57 I've also picked them up. I know what they freaking are. Lesley Logan 14:59 Yeah. So the Contrology, my friend has in Hawaii, and the frame is great. Nothing goes on there. Doesn't even rust, but the springs, well, you have to clean the springs, right? So. Brad Crowell 15:12 That's right. Yeah. I forgot about that. That's great. It's exactly the same, like, environment with humidity.Lesley Logan 15:18 I so I worry more about humidity anywhere. And then when it comes to, just, like, the hotness, I mean, obviously it's gonna pin like, are you gonna want to lay on a hot Reformer bed? Because it's gonna like, like, it's like, sitting on your car when the car's hot.Brad Crowell 15:34 Well, here's the thing, you can actually regulate the temperature inside your garage. Lesley Logan 15:37 Yeah, if you can, yeah, then I would do that. Brad Crowell 15:39 In Cambodia, we have these wall units for, like, air air conditioning. Lesley Logan 15:44 Yeah, I love this idea. We're helping you out, Brenda, so get a wall unit, and then I probably. Brad Crowell 15:49 Yeah, they're called a they're called, there's a specific term for them. What are they called? They're not a window unit. They're a wall unit. Oh, they call it a split, mini split. Lesley Logan 16:03 A mini split. Brad Crowell 16:03 Mini split. So that way, what it does is it actually takes the big air conditioning part of it that, like, you know, is loud and noisy, and it actually is outside, yeah, but then the inside is just a little wall.Lesley Logan 16:15 They're amazing. They're so quiet. The other thing I would just say is, like, I've never experienced this thing. I've never had to purchase one in my life. But a dehumidifier is something you can also purchase. I saw one in Brad's uncle's basement. I was like, what is this thing? He said, a dehumidifier. I'm like, I only know about humidifiers. Clearly, that's where I've lived in the world. So you can have a dehumidifier, and then that would make your equipment last a long time as well. Brad Crowell 16:39 That's true. Lesley Logan 16:40 Just something to note that, like Naugahyde and your leather straps, you know, those things can be affected by the weather. So if, again, if it's hot, cold, like, you're just gonna want to find a way to stabilize the environment a little bit so that it, you can have it for years, because that's all I want to make sure, like, we didn't leave my Reformer around the heat. I think my extra Reformers out in the in the garage for, like, in the shed for like, a year, but it was in a box protected. And then we're like, we got to get that in. That's probably not so great for it. So. Brad Crowell 17:07 Yeah, just because the the Naugahyde will eventually become brittle. Lesley Logan 17:10 I think the leather straps would also become, they would dry out as well because, like, they stay healthy because of the oils of the skin. So anyway.Brad Crowell 17:18 I just also found out that a mini split is, it's called a mini split because it's heating and cooling. Brad Crowell 17:24 Oh, well, there you go. Brenda. Show us the pictures of your garage with your new Reformer in it. Brad Crowell 17:24 You're amazing. Lesley Logan 17:24 You guys. If you want to ask us any questions, they don't have to be about Pilates, they can be about anything. You'll, you just have to go to beitpod.com/questions. You can also send us your wins. We can celebrate you. And you can hear about your wins on a day that you need to because they always happen to land on the day. You're like, my life isn't working. And then you hear a win you had, and you're like, Oh my God, it was, I just forgot.Brad Crowell 17:47 Stick around. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 17:49 All right. Welcome back. Let's talk about Wendee Close. Wendee is the founder and CEO of Goals2Life, a personal development platform designed to help individuals create and achieve meaningful goals through detailed planning and execution. It's quite a comprehensive platform. It's actually kind of amazing. After 27 years in the B2C industry, she pivoted into the tech world to build a purpose driven SaaS platform aimed at transforming how people bring their aspirations to life. SaaS stands for software as a service. So the like a SaaS platform would be like Gmail or Google Calendar. That's a SaaS platform. In this case, she's making a tool that is software that'll help you bring your aspirations to life for real, known for her resourcefulness and her get it done attitude, Wendee now helps ground people break through burnout and overwhelm by aligning their goals with their values. And I think for her, that was, like, legit, because she was like, doing she and her husband had started a business that could she do it? Yes. Was she really good at it? Yes. Did it light her fire? No. Should she have been doing it? No, right. But she did it for decades, right? And after all that time, and they really did well, she still was like, I kind of don't like what I'm doing, yeah. And so that's what caused the shift to start this platform, you know, effectively starting a second career after her kids have flown the coop. She they're empty nesters now. So, you know, she's, she's definitely tackling a huge project. Lesley Logan 19:30 Bird launcher. Brad Crowell 19:30 She's a bird launcher. Lesley Logan 19:32 Yeah, I like, I know I said on the podcast, if not, I said her face. I am, like, immensely impressed that she has taken on this project because, like, it's so, like, I had no idea what starting OPC like, how much effort it is to have a platform like OPC. Like it is the amount of work we have to do on a daily basis for OPC is the amount of people who work on that site to keep everything. So like, when she was, when she talks, she's like, oh my God, that is the biggest project in the world. Like, I was just like, sitting there, from the experience of it, and she doesn't even see it as difficult. I mean, like, of course there's difficult times, there's hard days, but she always is like, excited for the challenge. And like, she takes it in, and then she figures out who she has to talk to to make it happen. And so anyways, one thing she said that I love, and I think it is why she can do what she's doing and take on this mountain of an amazing business, is when the vision is clear, you become it. So she is like, even though the project is still being built out and it works. She has tons of clients and tons of customers and tons of companies that work with it, but it was something that she's continuing to build and perfect and do. She isn't waiting for it to be ready to go out there and talk about it. She's talking about it because she's it.Brad Crowell 20:54 She's been talking about it, I mean, you know, before it was even ready to go. She understood what she was building, who it was going to help, and was out there sharing it with the world.Lesley Logan 21:04 I mean, if you haven't listened the episode, you have to, because it's truly a Be It Till You See It like it is, she is not waiting for the project to be ready for someone to deem the project ready for anything like that. She's like, I'm going to go out there, I'm going to talk about it and the questions I get and the things people need are going to help me make it even better. And that's what we are always trying to tell people to do inside of Agency as well. She said, when you believe in what you're doing, it becomes, it becomes easy to show up and say, this is who I am and this is what I'm doing. The vision is so strong, you live it. And I think, like, a lot of us, are sitting in the place where she was before in that B2C thing. Maybe you're not B2C but, like, was she good at it? Yes. Can she do it? Yes. It didn't light her up. And so I think a lot of people are struggling with, like, preaching, preaching out loud and and boasting about the thing they're doing because it's not the thing they really want to be doing. So they're not as excited. She is so excited about this. Every time I talk to her, I'm like, excited about what I do. Like, somehow, like, it reminds me this is why I do what I do.Brad Crowell 22:06 She lights everybody on fire. You know, I bet you, too, that all the things that she learned with her first business on, she managed a team. She, you know, worked with clients. She, you know, understood how to do every aspect of that business. There's like a direct translation for what she's doing now, even though it's a different project and a different product and a different goal, the skills she learned from the first one are absolutely setting her up to excel at this in What? What? So much faster, so much faster.Lesley Logan 22:42 Well, and also, like, every single even if the thing you want to do is something you were never trained to do, every skill that you've acquired along your journey is transferable. It's all. Brad Crowell 22:51 Story of my life. Lesley Logan 22:52 Yeah, it's really all so transferable. And there, most of the jobs that I well, the job that I currently have, there's, like, not like a degree in it. So, yeah, like, I think, like, we're all like, where's the checklist to go check? There isn't one. So get your vision clear and then talk about it. Don't be afraid to talk about it, because, just because people question it or and they might not be as excited as you, their questions help you deliver what you do better. You know? When we first started about OPC versus how we talk about it now, very different based on the questions we got from the way we talk about it, you know, like, so.Brad Crowell 23:28 Class starts at six. I think we even said that. I'm sure it was, like, new class on Tuesday. I really loved when she was talking about clarity and resourcefulness and her reminder about it, specifically around asking for help, right? She has no qualms to reach out to people and ask for help. She is very excited about what it is that she's doing, and because she knows what she's building, it gives her enthusiasm, right, and courage. And then when she goes and she asks someone for help, even if they say no, it doesn't matter. It doesn't deflate her enthusiasm. But because she has that, she can ask for help in a way that is compelling people actually want to help her. She said, every single day, I'm like, I don't know how to do the thing that I'm gonna do today. But what do I want to do? I want to impact lives. So she has a bigger goal. Like, for example, the conversation you were having was about going live on Instagram. She's like, I'm not a techie, you know, social media user, but I'm willing to learn this thing, even if I fail at it, if I fall flat on my face. Because if I can go live with someone today, and it's got to further my actual goal, which is impacting people's lives. And she said she just, she encourages everyone to just be, learn to be as resourceful as you can. Right? And she said, if you're honest and transparent about where you are and what you're trying to do, others will help you do it.Lesley Logan 25:03 Yeah, they will. They because they get excited. Because you're excited. People want to be part of the party. People want to be part of, that is how, for better or worse, people get involved in organizations like you know, they want it. I read the book Careless, careless people about Facebook and, oh, guys, it's a book worth, and if I could get her on, I would, but she's not doing any touring right now, but it's she talks about why she got involved with Facebook and why she was pushing for it to be around the world, because she want, she want to be part of the vision of connecting people, yeah, and helping people have all these and I know that's like the worst example, but also like getting so excited about your thing that people get excited to be part of your life, because they'll want to connect with the right people too, whether or not they can help you, like, Oh, I know, so and so. And then they're so excited about what you're doing when they talk about this to their friend, there's a trust transference, and all of a sudden you have the connections you need, you know. So no one gets to get their goals all done by themselves. It just doesn't happen that way. You want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.Brad Crowell 26:10 Well, yes, very enthusiastically delivered there. Oh, you mean that old thing. Okay, dad. That's hilarious. All right, well, if you are looking for some, Be It Action Items, stick around, because we're going to dig into those when we come back. Brad Crowell 26:33 Okay, finally, let's dig into those Be It Action Items that we had with our conversation with Wendee Close. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo? I'm gonna go first, because she actually went down all four like, right away, which is pretty awesome.Lesley Logan 26:53 Whenever anyone does that, I'm like, oh, you took the assignment to the next level.Brad Crowell 26:58 She did. She did. She said, hey, here's what's bold, own your next level identity, right? She encourages you to ask, what would my future self do right now, today, in this instance, and then take that action from your future you, right? And she said, that's super bold, you know, like, know where you're going, know what you're trying to do, and then you know, if you're faced with a tough decision, would you, would you choose yourself make decision A or decision B, right? And then she said, executable, take small intentional steps every single day, small intentional steps, right? Breaking down big goals into micro movements. And then ask, what's one step that I can take today, right now, and then go do that step. In fact, that's like half of what Goals2Life is is literally the execution element of it, because what they help you do is map out your goals and then figure out how to do them, actually, how to bring them to life, right? Lesley Logan 27:56 Yeah. You just, that's where the name came from. Brad Crowell 28:00 Goals2Life. That's where the name came from. Intrinsic. Align your goals with your purpose. Align your goals with purpose. She said, What? Ask yourself, why does this even matter to me? Like, if you have a goal of, let's say, doing a 5k race, you know. Why does this matter to you? Why you know do the seven layers of why you know, what is it that you're actually trying to do here? And then, when your goals are tied to your values, your commitment will deepen. So you need to understand what your values are. And then we need to find goals that are going to tie it all together. So, intrinsic. Align your goals with your purpose, targeted, set clear, measurable milestones, replace vague hopes with tangible outcomes. Ask yourself, how will I measure the progress? We would suggest deadlines. Deadlines actually give yourself by this time I will do this thing, you know, or by this time I will, I will have this finished or this piece, piece of it accomplished. Because then it gives you targets. Lesley Logan 29:06 I just talked to Agency members about this. I said, if with, like, you know, we're halfway through the year, right? And it's like, if you reflect on your goals, you wanted to have done this year, what you want to have done by now, and you're like, oh my God, I didn't hit the name. It's like, well, it's, don't beat yourself up, it's ask yourself very clearly, like, why haven't I done this? What has been in the way? Is this actually something I still want to do? Can I actually do it and then set new measurable goals, set new milestones and make it happen? You know? So I believe in those I love a deadline. Brad Crowell 29:35 Love a deadline. Yeah. What about you?Lesley Logan 29:37 Okay, so she said, and this goes back to what I was just saying, so I'll just translate. If something's a priority, if it's a goal, it needs to be on your calendar. And that's where a lot of people make mistakes. They're like, Oh, I'm gonna do this thing, but they don't even set aside time, like in my calendar. If you look at my calendar, it'll say, write this thing, do this thing, call this person. It is in my calendar. So there's not like, Oh, here's my three things I wanna get done today. And. I have a wide open day. No, every single work day is like it's full because I have now, of course, I can move things, if something comes up or whatever, but then it gets moved because if it's in your calendar, you'll reschedule it. So that's what's really important. She said, if it's not in your calendar, it's not a priority. And she didn't mention time blocking. I'm big fan of time blocking. I actually talk a lot about how we teach Agency members how to time block so that they actually move the needle forward in their business. She also said this is really important. She said she was talking about her burnout. She said no amount of movement, water, nutrition or meditation can make up for the lack of sleep, so sleep should be right there at the very top. And I think that is the most important thing. It's something I always talk about. When you come on a retreat to Cambodia, we actually like put your dream schedule together, and the first thing you actually put in there is when do you go to bed, and when do you wake up? It's your dream schedule. It's not your current sleep schedule. It's like what you desire to have as a sleep schedule. And it's the most one of the most important things to do is work towards that, because you cannot, like, biohack your way out of sleep you didn't get. Maybe one day, maybe two days, but you can't do it 365 days. Not gonna happen.Brad Crowell 31:16 Wendee and I definitely connected on that, because both of us just didn't leave ourselves sleep time or permission to sleep. And so, you know, definitely impacted me through college for sure, you know. And even today, you know, it's still a decision to make sure that that is a priority, But yeah, I love it. I mean, you know, Wendee is one of the most magnetic people that you'll ever met. Like when she walks into a room, you know it, whether she meant you to know it or not, you know it. And her enthusiasm for and her vision for her business, for Goals2Life, is contagious. And, you know, I think the product is, it's really amazing, and helping people actually move forward, instead of feeling stuck. And, you know, I'm excited, so y'all should go check it out. Goals2Life. The number two, Goals2Life.com, we'll put that link in the show notes, for sure, yeah. But yeah, if you haven't gone back yet, go listen to Wendee. She's amazing. Yeah, go listen to why we love her so much. Lesley Logan 32:25 Okay, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 32:25 And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 32:25 Thank you so much for listening to this podcast.

Ever feel like the only way forward in your career… is up a corporate ladder that you don't even want to be on in the first place? Yvonne did, too. After 15+ years in communications roles at mission-driven nonprofits, she knew things had to shift after the birth of her son. She asked a question many parents ask: “How can I do work I love, get paid my worth, and still be present for my family?” On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, Yvonne shares how discovering copywriting gave her a path to both professional purpose and personal balance. She also shares her approach to client outreach (yes, she really took our “It's just an email” advice to heart!) and offers smart, honest tips for pitching in a way that feels natural and authentic—especially if you're new. If you're dreaming of a career that fits your life, not the other way around, let Yvonne's story provide you with a healthy dose of inspiration. There is a way to fulfillment in all areas of your life—if you're willing to get creative and look away from the typical “ladder” and climb your own. ---------------- Mentioned in the Episode yvonneturnercopy.comEp. 62: Defining Copywriting Success for YourselfEp. 187: Change My Mind About Advertising!

Manifestation isn't about faking positivity. It's about owning your frequency and trusting your power.It isn't about bypassing hard emotions. It's about becoming fluent in your energy. It's about integrity – between what you say you want and what you're actually resonating with, because your frequency doesn't lie. And when you learn to own it... Everything changes.In this episode of The Roxanne Show, I talk about the real mechanics of manifestation.I debunk some myths and zone in on what manifesting was always meant to be: a practice of Self-leadership, a dance with energy, resonance, and belief, a return to trusting yourself.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:Why “thinking positive” isn't the key to manifesting (and what actually is)The truth about emotional frequency and personal responsibilityHow belief shapes reality – and what it means to see it when you believe itThe critical role of self-trust in magnetizing your desiresWhy manifesting gets to feel playful, intuitive, and powerful------------------------CHAPTERS:0:00 Introduction: Emotional Frequency and Trust0:37 Demystifying Manifesting Myths2:01 Influence of Optimism and Positivity5:16 Managing Emotional Responsibility12:17 The Role of Self-Awareness in Manifesting13:40 Belief and Identity in Manifesting18:26 Impact of Thinking and Belief Systems22:56 Manifesting Dreams with Intentionality25:03 Understanding Timing and Trust30:57 Closing Thoughts: Trust and Manifesting Fun---------------------------YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe +5 leave us 5⭐️Star rating + review HERE: https://lovethepodcast.com/theroxanneshowFREE RESOURCES Download your FREE Decisive Woman's Playbook + master the art of intuitive action + strategic execution.

Why are more and more young people struggling with back pain, injuries, and chronic joint issues? Bam LionHeart suggests that just like we need to adopt a more natural, ancestral diet, we need to get back to natural movement patterns to reclaim our freedom to move with ease and pain-free. Bam is a natural movement coach and the founder of Primal Movement and today he offers insights on what is the source of our pain and how to incorporate more "highly nutritious" movement into our lives. He discusses the patterns of movement found in crawling, walking, and running and how to reincorporate these into our daily lives. He also goes over the problems caused by our sedentary lifestyles. Finally, he suggests that it's never too late to take on new-to-us yet ancient patterns of movement that offer benefits for today and tomorrow.
