Send us a text letting us know your thoughts on today's episodeWhen we talk about DIY podcasting, the conversation usually gets stuck on money. But the real cost? It often has nothing to do with your bank account. In this episode of Podcasting for Moms, we're digging into the hidden costs of doing it all yourself—the time, energy, momentum, and mental load that quietly pile up behind the scenes.If you've ever felt like your podcast is something you're constantly “catching up on,” or like it's asking more from you than you can realistically give in this season of motherhood and business, this episode is for you. We're reframing what support really means and asking an honest question: is DIY podcasting still serving you or is it slowly costing you more than you realize? In this episode, we cover:The real time cost of DIY podcasting (and why it's never just “a few extra hours”)How podcasting creates invisible mental and emotional laborWhy lost momentum is one of the most expensive costs of allThe hidden business impact of an unsupported podcastA gentle reframe to help you evaluate whether this season still makes senseThis episode isn't about pushing you to outsource—it's about helping you protect your energy, your time, and your ability to keep showing up consistently. In the next episode, I'll walk you through exactly how I support clients one-on-one with podcast strategy and production so you can decide what kind of support feels right for you in this season.

A conqueror, a god, or just a man lost in myth?Alexander the Great: the name conjures images of conquest, charisma, and an empire that stretched from Greece to India. But how much of what we “know” is actually true?In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by Dr Stephen Harrison, lecturer in Ancient History at Swansea University and author of Alexander: The Lives and Legacies, to rage against the myths that have defined Alexander for over two thousand years.Stephen dismantles the biggest misconceptions about the Macedonian conqueror — from his supposed divine ambitions and romantic legends to the illusion that historians can truly know what drove him. Together, they explore how unreliable ancient sources, political storytelling, and centuries of retelling have turned Alexander into a mythic figure rather than a historical one.This isn't just another tale of military glory — it's a journey through evidence, propaganda, and how history becomes legend.

Tune into the episode or read below for his top tips! You can also download a copy here for easy reference later. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing. See you at Expo West!1. Define Your Target ROIHave a clear goal and outcomes in mind because the event is what you make it.Rightsize your investment. There's no shame in starting small, like a shared booth, table at StartUp CPG, sampling out of a backpack, etc. Even big brands need to be cautious of their spending because it adds up fast. But if you want to make a big splash, be willing to spend the money on the right opportunity.Aim to have your agenda 60% planned, but 40% flexible, because you never know who might pop up with some exciting and unexpected.2. Plan AheadBook your accommodations early, because everything near the Convention Center fills up quickly and gets very expensive.Find the sessions you want to attend, people you want to meet, and booths you want to visit through the app and social media posts, but also decide what's non-negotiable and what's optional for you, because you will get exhausted/overwhelmed.Make dinner reservations, book event venues, and meeting rooms in advance because there are a ton of competing groups looking for limited time slots.Order all your materials, swag, outfits, etc., well ahead of time because shipping delays happen, and you don't want to be caught empty-handed or paying the steep price to rush reprint in Anaheim.3. Be Clear & CompellingHave your 5-second pitch and main talking points ready, because there are way too many people and not enough time to stumble or be vague.Bring the energy, passion, and vibes because that attracts people to your booth, lifts everyone's spirits, and makes you memorable.Ask lots of questions to get to know people and how you can help each other. It can reveal incredibly powerful information for you both.4. Crush Your BoothMake sure it's clear what you're selling and what makes it special, otherwise your booth is likely to be missed (unless you're drawing attention, see below).Be unique but authentic, have a compelling story or theme for the show, and be engaging and fun as people walk up.Have events or activities at your booth that attract a crowd, and bring enough samples/goodies to go around. Tip: people are drawn to anything that's more than a tiny bite on a toothpick or a generic tote bag.Have a method for politely exiting conversations, like handing them off to an associate or introducing them to another guest, so you can be available when that critical retailer, investor, broker, or press badge arrives.5. Draw AttentionApply for a Nexty, participate in the Pitch Slam, or partner on an innovation with another popular brand. Do things that will make you more visible.Send out press releases, make announcements on social media, and offer the press a unique and exciting story to draw them to your booth.Invite an industry rockstar or celebrity to your booth for a meet and greet.Host a happy hour with a prominent group, like B Corp.6. Connect With Your CommunityAttend events hosted by your membership communities (B Corp, 1% for the Planet, Regenerative Organic, Upcycled, Non-GMO, Fair Trade, Climate Neutral, Climate Collaborative, Naturally Network, Purpose Pledge, Startup CPG, Project Potluck, :INCLUDED, etc.)Post updates in your preferred social channel (pictures, top finds, great insights, events, selfies, etc), tag people, and comment on others' posts! Wear your affiliations (shirts, hats, pins, stickers, lanyards, badges, etc).7. Take Care of YourselfHydrate and eat real food, or at least snack your way to well-balanced meals or your stomach and energy levels will regret it later.Dress comfortably and in layers. You'll be walking a lot, in and out of buildings, and the weather can change quickly. Bonus: dress memorably.Rest your feet and your back whenever you can. They will be sore.Get full nights of sleep when you can, and take some downtime in between things to recharge your batteries and brain.8. Be Brave, Be ActiveMeet people! That's why you're going. Don't just hide in your hotel, your booth, or in your co-worker/friend group. Get out there.Attend happy hours, events, and dinners even if you worked the booth all day, because that's the time to make real human connections.Go talk to that hero, buyer, investor, press, celebrity, etc because that's why they're here, and why you're here.9. Don't Try to Do it AllThe show is way too big to see every booth. Decide what's most important. It can help to pick a theme to focus, like a category, certification, stage of business, etc.There are too many sessions, events, and happy hours. Pick a focus and try to limit your FOMO. Divide and conquer with your team if you can.If you've been going as long as I have, you'll wish you could spend time with all your friends, collaborators, clients, podcast guests, and more… but it's best to be at peace with what you can do instead of worrying about what you can't.10. Follow Through Take notes on business cards, in an app, or wherever works for you because you won't remember every conversation, idea, or to-do item.Digest what you learned, who you met, and how you want to follow up each evening before that information gets too foggy.Make social posts each day, because you'll be too burned out and busy to catch up on social media after the show.Follow up with people during and after the show to solidify that new connection.Links:Natural Products Expo West: https://www.expowest.com/en/home.html10 Tips to Crush Expo West Download: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing.

Services Holistic Wealth Coaching Program Resources Our Courses Student Portal My account Membership Holistic Wealth Podcast Why Reconnecting to Self Is the Most Radical Act of The New Year + The Holistic Wealth Retreat  The new year doesn't arrive asking us to become more. It asks us to remember. Yet most people don't cross into a new year feeling whole, clear, or renewed. They arrive depleted, disconnected and running on a nervous system that has forgotten what safety feels like. There’s a global disconnection crisis that’s rarely being talked about. That’s why reconnecting with self is emerging as the most radical—and necessary—act of our time. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast we’re discussing this plus answering some listener questions about the Holistic Wealth Retreat on the Holistic Wealth Trail. February is also Black History Month, a very special celebration of Black History. Resources Used in This Episode:Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated Book by Keisha Blair Holistic Wealth Retreat on the Holistic Wealth TrailHolistic Wealth Personal Workbook by Keisha Blair What is the Global Disconnection Crisis?We live in an era of unprecedented access, convenience, and information—yet human beings are more dysregulated than ever before. Consider this:77% of people globally report chronic stress that directly impacts their physical health60–90% of doctor visits are linked to stress-related conditionsChronic loneliness increases mortality risk by 26%, comparable to smoking nearly a pack of cigarettes a dayFewer than 10% of people experience sustained nervous-system calm on a regular basis. This means that 90% of people are in a sustained state of nervous system dysregulation. In other words, the majority of humanity is living in fight-or-flight as a baseline state.When people say, “I feel disconnected from myself,” what they are really saying is:“My nervous system has not felt safe enough to come home.”Reconnection is not indulgence. It is biological repair. Topic: Why Reconnecting to Self Is the Most Radical Act of The New Year + The Holistic Wealth Retreat  TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER What Reconnecting With Self Actually MeansReconnection is not a mindset shift. It is not a productivity hack. It is not another item on a wellness checklist. True reconnection restores three broken feedback loops:1. Body → BrainWhen the body feels safe, the mind regains clarity.2. Environment → Nervous SystemYour surroundings directly influence cortisol, inflammation, sleep, and gene expression.3. Time → IdentityWhen time slows, the self re-emerges.This is why people cannot think their way back to themselves.They need place, pace, and presence.Why Place Matters More Than We've Been ToldModern wellness focuses heavily on habits while ignoring something far more powerful: environment.Where you are physically can change how your body functions.This insight is at the heart of the Holistic Wealth Retreat, located along the Holistic Wealth Trail—a first-of-its-kind ecosystem designed not as infrastructure for human repair.Situated on the foothills of the UNESCO world heritage Blue Mountain range, at approximately 3,000 feet above sea level, the retreat exists within a rare microclimate and biodiversity cluster that supports:Improved oxygen efficiencyLower blood pressure trendsDeeper sleep cycles due to natural temperature differentialsReduced cortisol and inflammatory markersThese effects are especially meaningful for individuals managing stress related conditions, arthritis, diabetes, cancer recovery, autoimmune conditions, and chronic stress—not as cures, but as biological support systems.No forced programming.No performative wellness.No constant stimulation.Just an environment intentionally designed to let the nervous system stand down.Guests often say the same thing:“I didn't realize how far from myself I had drifted until I arrived.”So far, we’ve welcomed guests from the United States, Canada, the UK, and across Europe. April is a very special time at the Holistic Wealth Retreat, as we celebrate Global Holistic Wealth Month and Global Holistic Wealth Day on April 9th. Private Chef Services and Healing Healing does not happen in isolation from nourishment. Private chef services at the Holistic Wealth Retreat are available by request and are designed around:Blood sugar stabilityAnti-inflammatory principlesCultural nourishmentFood is not treated as fuel alone, but as memory, medicine, and healing. This matters, because regulation does not come from discipline. It comes from feeling cared for.Why This Is HistoryThe Holistic Wealth Retreat is not an isolated destination. It is part of something larger. The Holistic Wealth Trail represents the very first known retreat-based ecosystem intentionally designed to integrate rest, place, legacy, and long-term human wealth—not just financial wealth. Its the first of its kind and longest Holistic Trail in Jamaica and the world and spans the Island. To date:The Holistic Wealth movement has reached over 300 million people globallyIts frameworks have been referenced in international media, academic discussions, and policy conversationsPhysical spaces now exist where people can experience what was once only conceptualHistory rarely announces itself loudly at the beginning. It starts quietly, with intention, long before the world catches up.The Mission: 1 Billion With Holistic WealthThe mission is simple—and ambitious to reach 1 billion people with Holistic Wealth.Not through hustle culture. Not through burnout disguised as success. Not through systems that extract more than they give but through a redefinition of wealth itself—one that includes:Nervous-system healthEnvironmental safetyTime abundanceLegacy and intergenerational repairHolistic Wealth asks a different question than the world has been asking:What if success didn't cost us our bodies, our peace, or our humanity?The InvitationIf this new year feels different— If you feel less interested in becoming more and more interested in belonging to yourself again—that is not regression.It is wisdom. Reconnection is not a retreat from life. It is a return to it. And this return—to self, to place, to wholeness—is how history quietly changes.  What You Will Learn Why the New Year Is the Most Fragile Time of AllThe first quarter of the New Year from January to March is often framed as a season of acceleration—goals, resolutions, productivity, but physiologically, the new year is one of the most vulnerable times for the human body:Cortisol levels spike after prolonged holiday stressBlood sugar instability increasesInflammation markers riseEmotional processing catches up after months of suppressionThis is why so many people feel unmotivated, foggy, or emotionally raw in the early months of the year.The body is not asking for more productivity hacks and optimization. It is asking for re-anchoring.

Disney is expensive. Everyone knows that.But there's a difference between Disney being expensive and you accidentally lighting your wallet on fire because you followed bad advice.In this episode, Scott and Candice tackle the real financial mistakes guests make at Walt Disney World and Disneyland—not from a place of judgment, but from experience, observation, and plenty of hard-earned lessons.Candice draws on her work as a travel professional to share what she consistently sees cost people real money, while Scott brings the skepticism, humor, and occasional Gen X side-eye to the conversation.This isn't about shame. It's about smarter choices, better planning, and making sure your Disney money actually buys you joy instead of regret.In this episode, we discuss:Why lack of planning is often the most expensive mistake of allThe hidden cost of not understanding dining reservations and cancellation policiesHow park hopper tickets frequently get overbought and underusedWhen staying off-property can actually cost more than staying on Disney propertyTransportation confusion that leads to unnecessary Uber, Minnie Van, and time costsSocial media pressure and the myth that you have to “do everything”Food FOMO and why ordering for Instagram instead of hunger gets expensive fastThe truth about overhyped dining experiencesEmotional support Loungeflys, impulse souvenir regret, and popcorn bucket realitiesWhy trying to do everything leads to disappointment—even on expensive tripsHow a simple strategy (4–5 priorities per park) can radically improve your experienceA practical budgeting tip for festivals: gift cards instead of open-ended credit cardsThe core takeaway:You don't need to experience Disney the most expensive way.You need to experience Disney the most intentional way.Because the biggest mistake of all?Spending thousands of dollars and coming home with more frustration than magic.

In this episode, we discuss recent developments at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil (ESB) following the deaths of Pupy and Kenya, the sanctuary's two female African elephants, in 2025.As we have seen in recent weeks, we are living in a time that is exposing a troubling side of our society — one where false and negative claims are more readily accepted than positive truth, and where it often seems easier to believe accusations of manipulation and corruption than to accept that honesty and integrity exist. In this conversation, we examine how anti-sanctuary narratives and the temporary suspension of ESB's license to bring in new elephants have emerged in this climate — and why the impact extends beyond elephants, affecting wider wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts.At the same time, we explore why this difficult moment may also present an opportunity: to bring clarity through evidence-based review, and to highlight the vital — and too often misunderstood and ignored — responsibility sanctuaries around the world take on when they accept elderly, chronically ill, and end-of-life elephants into their care.We urge supporters to sign and share our petition calling for fair, transparent, and equal standards — ensuring that Elephant Sanctuary Brazil and zoos in Brazil are assessed by the same regulatory criteria.What we know so far about Pupy & Kenya's passingTransparency and Accountability for AllThe episode transcript can be found here.Email: We'd love to hear from you podcast@globalelephants.orgWho we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants. International support is necessary to build sanctuaries for elephants in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Our pilot project is Elephant Sanctuary Brazil where Asian and African elephants relocated from across South America live their best lives.Website: https://globalelephants.org/Donate: Global Sanctuary for Elephants is a U.S. 501(c)3 non-profit.

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Monday Minute, part of our new series on The Independent Dealer Podcast, brought to you by our sponsor, Podium.The Monday Minute is your quick weekly reset. It's designed to help you lead better, think clearer, and build your dealership with intention. Think of this as the mindset. The Sunday newsletter is the roadmap.This week, Jeff breaks down one of the most important decisions you'll make as a dealer: choosing the right dealership model.Retail, Buy Here Pay Here, Lease Here Pay Here. There's no single “best” option. The right model depends on your market, your capital, your risk tolerance, and even the season of life you're in. Too many operators chase what looks good on paper instead of what actually works in their market.In this episode, we cover:Why dealership models aren't one-size-fits-allThe real tradeoffs between retail and BHPHHow market demographics should guide your decisionThe role of capital, debt, and cash flowWhy honesty about risk, stress, and time mattersBefore you fall in love with any model, make sure you're asking the right questions and doing the market research. Cash flow mistakes can end a dealership before it ever really starts.Don't forget to review this week's Sunday newsletter, where we lay out the full theme and practical exercises to help you take action.If you're not subscribed yet, head to TheIndependentDealer.com and join us.Let's build it together.Check out our new sponsor: Podium - podium.com

In this episode of Nashville Restaurant Radio, I sit down with Stephanie Styll, owner of Killjoy, for an honest and thoughtful conversation about alcohol, behavior, and why more people are choosing to step away from drinking.Stephanie and I both bring a unique perspective to this conversation — I've been alcohol-free for over six years, and Stephanie for five. That lived experience allows us to dig deeper into the why behind shifting drinking habits, beyond trends or challenges like Dry January.We talk about the science and psychology of drinking, how alcohol affects mood, sleep, anxiety, and performance, and why more people are re-evaluating their relationship with it. We also explore how these changes are showing up in restaurants and bars, and what it means for hospitality operators who want to meet guests where they are.

Send us a textIn today's episode, we're pulling back the curtain on something we all feel but rarely talk about: Why does so much of what we see online — protests, trends, “viral” moments, political messages — feel engineered?And more importantly… Where's the line between honest persuasion and outright manipulation?Kyle breaks down the gray area between influence and orchestration, exploring questions like:What we cover in this episode:Why most public messaging (left, right, corporate, activist) is coordinatedHow “organic” viral moments often aren't organic at allThe blurry boundary between influence, strategy, and manipulationHow social media algorithms amplify emotion — not truthWhy transparency matters more than everThe ethics of engineering a message, even if the message itself is trueHow orchestrated narratives shape our culture without us realizing itKyle also shares:Research on political communicationStudies on influencer persuasionData on media trust and social media viralityReal examples of modern messaging tactics (without naming groups or pointing fingers)The big question we leave you with:“If a message is true… but engineered… does it change how you feel about it?”This episode is all about curiosity, not conclusions — and invites listeners to think deeply about the media ecosystem we live in, and how it shapes what we believe.Links: MIT Sloan research on misinformation spreading faster than truth  Study: Shares without clicks on Facebook and social platforms  UNESCO influencer fact checking study  KFF misinformation poll snapshot Social Media:Insta/X: kyleTHEhortonYoutube: KyletalkssTiktok: KyleTalkssIntro: Head In The Clouds by Matthew MorelockOutro: Surfaces Type Beat - Jellyfish BeatsSupport the show

Life is tender and messy and miraculous all at once. In this solo episode, Emily invites you into a reflection on the beautiful, brutal art of holding it all—the grief and the gratitude, the darkness and the light, the exhaustion and the quiet magic of simply being alive.Fresh off a transformative retreat and deep in the waves of pregnancy, she opens up about what it means to sit in discomfort without needing to fix it, to honor both the shadows and the blessings, and to find holiness in the wholeness of being human. This is an episode about slowing down enough to feel it all—to remember that life itself is the occasion, not something to earn once everything feels perfect.Emily explores the tension between what's hard and what's holy, sharing personal stories of grief, rage, beauty, and creativity. She reflects on the conditioning that teaches women to smile through pain, the ways we hide behind optimism, and the freedom that comes when we finally allow ourselves to be seen in every shade of our truth.This conversation is an offering—a reminder that your presence, your essence, and your being are enough. You don't have to rush through this season or mask the hard parts. You get to hold the darkness, create the magic, and call it all sacred.In this episode, I explore:The beautiful and brutal truth of being fully alive — learning to hold both joy and grief, light and shadow, beauty and chaos as sacred parts of the human experienceThe power of sitting in discomfort without bypassing it, fixing it, or rushing it, and how this practice deepens emotional intelligence, presence, and embodimentHow pregnancy, physical limitations, and seasons of surrender can become portals for personal growth, compassion, and feminine wisdomThe conditioning that teaches women to “be fine,” to smile through pain, and to disconnect from their truth, and how to reclaim your wholeness by allowing yourself to feel it allThe sacred work of shadow integration and self-trust—how to hold rage, grief, and sadness without shame and see them as gateways to authenticity and powerThe healing energy of sisterhood, nurturance, and creativity, and how gathering in safe, intentional spaces reminds us that we were never meant to do life aloneWhat it means to live from wholeness instead of chasing it—remembering that your worth isn't earned through productivity, perfection, or performanceHow to cultivate intentionality and ritual in everyday life by bringing presence, beauty, and creativity into the small, ordinary momentsWhy living an aligned, soul-led life is both mystical and mundane, and how to honor your humanity as deeply as your divinityA gentle reminder that life itself is the occasion—an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and celebrate the sacredness of being here nowBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 119 | How to Create...

In this message, Isaac Wheeler invites us to rediscover Jesus as not just Savior, but Teacher—the kind of teacher who shapes how we live every day, not just what we believe about eternity.Drawing from personal stories, cultural insight, and Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11 and 16, Isaac explores what it means to apprentice under Jesus. He contrasts modern ideas of education and independence with the deeply relational and practical teaching style of Jesus—a teacher for everyone, for our real lives, and one who transforms us through practice.Whether you're weary, curious, or simply hungry to grow, this message calls us to take Jesus seriously as our rabbi and guide—and to let his words shape us into people of love, rest, and generosity.Key Themes:What it means to apprentice under JesusJesus as the ultimate teacher—human and divineSpiritual formation as hands-on learningFollowing Jesus as an invitation open to allThe connection between desire and transformationGrace, effort, and the power of practiceNotable Quotes:Reflection Questions:Who has been a teacher that shaped your life, and how?What does it mean for you to see Jesus as your teacher today?What do you want Jesus to do for you?Scripture References:Matthew 11:28–30Matthew 16:24Luke 18:35–43 (Jesus and the blind man)Speaker: Isaac WheelerSeries: North City Church Values – Jesus Leads Us to Apprentice HimHost: JD Larson“The Christian life doesn't happen by accident—it happens by apprenticing under Jesus.”“Grace is not opposed to effort; it's opposed to earning.” —Dallas Willard“Jesus' teaching isn't an escape from reality—it's a better way to live in it.”

Beauty in a Burning World: Taylor Swift and What the Showgirl Can't EscapeA close look at Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl through the lens of archetype, fame, and feminine power. I explore why this album lands as both dissonant and revealing in a world on fire, and what it reveals about how women carry collective desire and projection.I unpack the Ophelia archetype and how Taylor's “saved by love” narrative mirrors an ancient pattern that still shapes women's lives. I speak about compassion and concern, not judgment, and the artist's responsibility in a time when visibility and influence reach billions.This episode holds both love and critique. I look at how art meets history, how power is embodied, and how we can honour beauty without losing sight of reality.What you will hearThe Fate of Ophelia and the shadow of the fragile feminineFame as both mirror and cageThe emotional tone of Showgirl in a violent global momentElizabeth Taylor and the courage of reinventionWhy female rivalry wounds us allThe artist's moral dilemma: beauty or relevanceThe call for women to stand together in strength and sanityTimestamps06:43 Reading of Article: Who can save us from the fate of Ophelia?SUBSCRIBE TO EROS FOR LIFE ON SUBSTACKTo receive daily emails go to the Eros for Life publication settings and subscribe to the "Eros for Life - Daily" Section.Email: alison@alisoncrosthwait.com

In the final instalment of this series, we continue to unpack the confusing timeline of Room 209 - including the controversy around crown witness Brett Howden and the alleged slap and “splits” incidents, leading up to the verdicts and how the country reacted to them. At the end, Kristi shares her personal opinion about what likely happened in that hotel room — and why the verdicts would have remained the same anyway. The difference is in how the judge got there. Thanks for your patience with this deep-dive series and for allowing us the time to give it the attention it deserves!(This final part is long and spans two episodes - Part 5 will be available within 24 hours)We'll also be looking at: Why the court zeroed in on E.M.'s level of intoxication Her supposed motive to fabricate evidenceThe reasons for the judge's ultimate conclusion that E.M.'s evidence was “not credible or reliable”Why - despite saying rape myths and stereotypes would be avoided, the judge's written decision reads like the oppositePublic speculation about why this case went to trial at allThe damaging impact of this trial Content Warning: Graphic details of sexual acts.Please note: this series does not dispute the judge's not guilty verdicts.Our position is that the framing of the evidence in the written decision was unnecessary and damaging, with impact that extends far beyond the trial.More information and resources:WATCH: Team Canada World Junior Trial Verdict w/ Katie Strang | The Steve Dangle Podcast, Youtube, July 29 2025READ: The Hockey Canada trial could have been a reckoning.

This month on the Special Education for Beginners podcast, we've been focused on behavior—what causes it, how to prevent escalation, and how to respond when it happens. But today, we're flipping the script and talking about what it looks like when things are going well.In this episode, I'm joined by Marga Grey, a pediatric occupational therapist and founder of CoordiKids, to discuss what true self-regulation looks like in the classroom and how educators can support it through movement, sensory-friendly strategies, and brain-based practices.If you've ever wondered:"Is wobble seating really effective?""What does regulation actually look like?""How can I build a classroom that supports ALL students—especially those with sensory needs?"Then this episode is for you!

Tired of the endless cycle of Monday morning motivation followed by Wednesday wobbles and Friday surrenders? The people who finally stick with their healthy choices aren't more disciplined than you—they just learned one crucial skill that changes everything. In this episode, we're breaking down why constantly "starting over" is actually sabotaging your success and how to master the art of continuation instead. You'll discover the three-step practice that builds your "continuation muscle" and learn why small comeback moments matter more than perfect streaks.What You'll Learn:Why every "restart" is secretly training your brain to expect failure and how to break this self-sabotaging cycle once and for allThe 3-step continuation practice that you can use in the next 60 seconds to stop the all-or-nothing spiral in its tracksHow to shift from "starting over" identity to "someone who finds a way" identity using simple daily evidence-building techniquesThe power question that replaces "How do I start over?" with something that actually creates lasting momentumWhy consistency beats intensity every time and how to make tiny actions feel as automatic as brushing your teethThe 60-second reset practice that helps you continue instead of restart, even when you've "messed up" your dayResources Mentioned:No specific external resources, tools, or URLs were mentioned in this episode.Ready to Stop the Restart Cycle?This isn't about finding more willpower or waiting for the perfect Monday. It's about learning the skill that successful people use every day: how to keep going instead of starting over. Whether you've been stuck in the restart trap for months or years, today's episode gives you the exact framework to build momentum that actually lasts.Your next step: Pick one area where you've been planning to start over and make one tiny continuation choice today. Notice how different it feels to keep going instead of starting again—that feeling is the foundation of lasting change.If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who's been stuck in their own restart cycle. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is help others see that they don't need another Day 1—they just need to keep going.Mentioned in this episode:Thanks For Listening“Thanks for listening!

Send us a textAlright, friends, let's talk straight: if you're over 40 and still slogging through random workouts, obsessing over fad diets, or clinging to those cute little 5lb dumbbells… we need to have a heart-to-heart.This episode is the replay of a live presentation I gave to over 2,600 women (yeah, the Zoom room actually maxed out, wild). And I didn't hold back. Because here's the truth: what worked in your 20s isn't going to cut it anymore. And no, it's not because you're “broken” or “too old.” It's because most of us are making the same three mistakes that keep us stuck spinning our wheels.We're going deep into why muscle is the closest thing you've got to a fountain of youth and why building it is about so much more than looking jacked in your tank top (although that's a solid perk). From metabolism to brain health to literally not falling on your face in your 70s, this stuff matters.I'll walk you through the three shifts you have to make if you want to get strong, stay healthy, and actually see results from the work you're putting in. Spoiler: it's not about trying harder; it's about finally doing the right things in the right way.So if you've ever thought, “Ugh, I'm working so hard and nothing's happening…” this one's for you. You are stronger than you think. And it's time to prove it.What's Inside:Why strength training is non-negotiable for women over 40 (hint: it's way beyond “toning”)The three most common mistakes that keep women stuck and how to fix them once and for allThe truth about protein, carbs, and what your body actually needs to fuel muscle growthReal-life transformations from women who ditched diet culture and finally got strong AFSo let me ask you… what would getting strong mean for you? More confidence in the gym, finally feeling good in your body, or maybe just proving to yourself that it's not “too late”? Whatever it is, I want to hear it. Come hang with me on Instagram and tell me what being strong AF looks like in your world.Mentioned in this episode:Healthy As Fck*Oonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels Good Strong AFLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Sometimes the reason you're not doing the thing to you need or want to do…is because you've made it way too complicated.I realized recently I'd turned a simple daily habit into a whole production — the “perfect” setup, the ideal conditions, all the steps to make it better — until it became so much work that I stopped doing it completely.In this episode, I'm sharing:The sneaky way I overcomplicated something I'd been doing for yearsHow chasing “perfect” often kills our ability to show up at allThe good/better/best framework I use with clients to strip things down to the minimum viable versionHow to create your own “do less” plan so you can actually follow throughIf doing less makes you feel uncomfortable—like you're not doing enough—this episode will begin to change the way you think about making progress.Connect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my Monday newsletter with lots of nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries

Apparenty there's a couple of clowns in clown make-up out there leaving reviews of my book that are far less than accurate or true.  They're saying things to deliberately deter people from reading.  I guanrantee it's a particular group, and I think you know who.  If you look at the reviews on Amazon from people who actually read the book and have more than ad hominem attacks to deliver, and if the comprehension level of the reader is such that they don't simply mock what they can't put together in their own head, then what I say on broadcasts and what I write and how I write are well above the vast majority of writers who simply capitalize on something they term "conspiracy genre."  I call it friggin history when I write about it.  Because I go through the effort others don't to not rehash bullshit.  They're cowards taking advantage of the anonymity of the internet and shielding themselves behind computers.  Get My Book and More here:https://SemperFryLLC.comPods & Exclusives AD-FREE!

I was on the road working with a client last week. And the CEO there asked me the most awesome question that I was super excited to answer. The minute we had the conversation, I knew it was one that we needed to have on the podcast as well, because it applies to absolutely every direct service nonprofit.I was on-site to help the client develop some advocacy strategies that were focused on specific desired results, involving particular decisionmaking bodies. But in the course of the conversation, the CEO said to me, “I'm so seeing the value of this work and how much impact it can have when we have a focused team working on a specific advocacy goal. It makes me think, what can we do to train every member of our staff to include advocacy as part of their jobs? Because I'm realizing it's just like we tell them that fundraising is part of everybody's job. It's everybody's job to build financial support for the organization in their personal circles or wherever they travel. I want that for advocacy as well. How do you do that?”That's exactly the right question to ask. What I shared with her was, there are three core skills every staff member is going to need, and you're going to have to train them. And I can tell you how. In this episode, we share:How one nonprofit staff member turned a chance encounter with a decisionmaker into a big winThe three core skills your team members need in order to be effective at basic advocacyThe most valuable advocacy skill you can teach your team, that will serve them everywhere in their lifeHow to create an organizational culture that will support advocacy work by allThe most common organizational culture elements that can inadvertently undermine your efforts, and how to solve themThe natural and intuitive messaging and engagement approach that will be easy for every team member to learn and use effectively Help spread the word!
