In this episode of Cowgirls Over Coffee, we're having an honest conversation about a topic every high-achieving woman needs to tackle: discipline. We all know that feeling of knowing exactly what you need to do but struggling to get it done or being so disciplined that it's actually working against you. Today, we're stripping back the layers and getting curious about what discipline truly means, why it's not about being perfect, and how you can build it as a skill rather than treating it like a fixed part of your identity.Together with Meg Scales, we break down the myths around discipline, willpower, and focus. We explore why hyper-discipline can be just as damaging as lacking discipline altogether and why curiosity is your secret weapon in developing the self-awareness necessary to make meaningful progress. If you've ever found yourself feeling burnt out, stuck in a cycle of inconsistency, or struggling to figure out why you're not reaching your goals, this conversation is exactly what you need.Key Takeaways:The reality of discipline: It's a skill you can build, not something you're either born with or withoutWhy being “overly disciplined” can sabotage your success and how to strike a healthy balanceHow to identify and plug the energy leaks in your life that are holding you backThe role of curiosity and self-compassion in creating discipline that supports your goalsPractical strategies to develop adaptable discipline so you can finally move forward with intention and clarityWhether you're someone who prides yourself on being disciplined or you're struggling to find any consistency at all, this conversation is packed with actionable insights, practical strategies, and raw reflections that will help you take charge of your next steps.

You don't fit in the way you used to.Today's guest, Linda Mueller, has lived this challenge firsthand through seven international moves over the course of thirteen years. Today, she is a life coach and mentor who empowers international women in the journey of relocation and repatriation. How do you reconnect with old friends when you've become a different version of yourself? While Linda's story centers on international relocations, I think there are takeaways that apply to so many transformative life experiences. In this episode you'll hear about:The impact on relationships based on emotional intimacy roots when we become new versions of ourselvesReverse culture shock and the importance of keeping an open mind when it comes to forging new connections and maintaining old onesThe instinct to add vs. to cut when it comes to looking at the scope of friendships in our lives (and in particular, adding people with similar interests or available time)Juggling a mixture of glass and plastic balls, and focusing on harmony instead of balanceHow technology enables us to hold on to so many more people than we used to – which creates new challenges!Resources & Links:Sign up for Linda's newsletter and receive five strategies to make the most out of your time abroad, and follow Suneera Madhani, whose brilliant metaphor about juggling plastic vs. glass balls is mentioned in this episode.Go back to Episode 12 and learn about my theory about the Roots Framework and listen to Episode 87 about spring cleaning your friendships.Like what you hear?

Episode Summary: In this episode of The Grief School Podcast, Sharon Brubaker explores the transformative concept of balancing positive and negative emotions. She challenges listeners to embrace the idea that our human experience is meant to be a balance of both and explains how understanding this balance can increase our power and ability to effect change in the world. Sharon provides insightful reflections and practical steps to help listeners create emotional balance on purpose. Key Takeaways: Understanding the balance of emotion can increase your power in the world and your ability to change it tenfold. Embracing both positive and negative emotions as part of the human experience can lead to a more balanced and less negatively charged life.

Concepts Discussed: Thoughts Create Feelings: We generate our emotions through the thoughts we entertain. Balance of Emotions: The human experience is a blend of positive and negative emotions. Emotional Control: We have the power to create, allow, and resist emotions. Journal Questions: Identify Negative Emotions: What are some negative emotions you have experienced recently? How did you react to them? Positive Outcomes from Negative Situations: Think about a positive outcome that emerged from a negative situation in your life. How did the balance between the positive and negative play out? Handling Negative Emotions: How do you typically handle negative emotions? Do you resist them, allow them, or try to change them? Regular Positive Emotions: What positive emotions do you experience regularly? How do they influence your daily life? Overwhelming Negative Emotions: Reflect on a time when you felt overwhelmed by negative emotions. What thoughts were you having, and how did they contribute to those feelings? Creating Emotional Balance: How can you create more balance between positive and negative emotions in your daily life? Personal Meaning of Balance: What does the concept of balancing positive and negative emotions mean to you personally? Increasing Power through Balance: How can understanding this balance increase your power and ability to create change in the world?

This is why I keep saying it's a partnership and your business is like a marriage. You have to do the exact same thing before you marry someone. These are the exact same things you have to do. But I think so many people are afraid of looking dumb or like they know what they're doing, or they get caught up in the excitement of what the business could be. And it's like, you got to sit down and just go, okay, down and dirty. Like, how deep am I going to get into this? How deep are we both getting into this before, like, we go, this isn't working.Lesley Logan [00:00:30]: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 guests 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 [00:01:12]: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 captivating convo I had with Kristen Crowley and Jill Bunny in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to go back now and listen, or listen to this one and then listen to that one. You can go in any order you want. (Brad Crowell: You can.) You really can. It is your own adventure and we want to support that, but they're pretty bunch badass bitches, so you should listen to it. Today is October twelveth at the time that you're listening to this. We are in the midst of our retreat this year, so we are in Cambodia. We should be out at the temples today, like, living our best life up, (Brad: Loving it.) which is so exciting.Lesley Logan [00:01:51]:And that also means today is World Arthritis and World Sight Day, both important things you should know about. So, first of all, arthritis is real, so go get yourself checked out and do the things you can do to avoid the heck out of them, like getting stronger. And the World Sight Day, I didn't actually look up what that means, but make sure it's seeing well. Like, do I need to go to the eye doctor today? Is that what it's telling me to do?Brad Crowell [00:02:17]:World Sight Day.Lesley Logan [00:02:18]:You want to know something funny?Brad Crowell [00:02:22]:Observed every year. What's funny?Lesley Logan [00:02:23]:Well, I got lasix when I was 30 and everyone said, that's so dumb because at 40, you're going to need to have reading glasses. And I want to let you know right now, you guys, I'm 40 and I do not need reading glasses. So, go Lasix.Brad Crowell [00:02:37]:That's true. It is a day first initiated by Lions Club International Foundation during their site first campaign in an effort to spread awareness about preventable blindness and help people who are visually impaired.Lesley Logan [00:02:49]:Oh, well, then go to schedule your doctor's appointment to prevent blindness. I think that's genius. I didn't know that. That's great. Wonderful. Gaia, we think is probably blind. She did she did bark at a bolster. It's okay.Brad Crowell [00:03:06]:She just sat up. She can hear just fine.Lesley Logan [00:03:09]:She can hear just fine. It's believing. Here we go. So, yes, we are in Cambodia next year. We will be back here in Cambodia in October. So you'll want to be on the waitlist to make sure you get to sign up and get the Early Bird special. So you'll want to go to Lesleylogan.co/retreat to enjoy what's coming up in January. So in January, we'll open up the doors, but you want to be on the waitlist to hear about those doors.Lesley Logan [00:03:34]:Then I come back. I go to Chicago with Erika Quest to do a weekend of workshops at Club Pilates and St. Charles. St. George. St. Charles Street, I think.Lesley Logan [00:03:47]:Anyways, we're going to be in Chicago at a Club Pilates teaching some workshops. If you want to see if there's any spots left, DM me, because there's not a lot of spots ever. So you'll want to DM me to get that information. In December, Erika Quest and I will be back at a Club Pilates in Frisco, Texas. And then I come back, and then we pack up the van, and Brad takes me on a tour that he keeps threatening is not going to ever end. And I keep threatening to say, but I have a girl's date, so you got to get me back here in time for my New Year's Eve.Brad Crowell [00:04:16]:But we'll be back in Frisco, Texas.Lesley Logan [00:04:18]:We'll be back in Frisco, Texas, right after we've done this before. Frisco. You always bring it. And so (Brad: So fun.) We can't wait to celebrate the end of the year with you, as well as the beginning of the end of the year with you. So if you want to hear about the tour, make sure you get on our email list. Just in generalBrad Crowell [00:04:34]:Go to opc.me/tour.Lesley Logan [00:04:37]:Yeah and you'll hear all about the tour. (Brad: Oh, yeah) because it's epic, and there's, like, really cool things that are happening you wouldn't want to miss out on, because you'll miss out on those epic things. And then in January, I do kick off eLevate round four. And if there's any spots left, you are going to want to apply, because 2025 will be the next time that I run it, and that's a long ways away in my world. So go to lesleylogan.co/elevate. That'll get you on the waitlist. But if you actually want to get in on 2024, DM me and I will chat with you. We'll see if this is the right thing for you.Lesley Logan [00:05:11]:We are so, so excited. Some people, like I said last episode, call it a game changer. And those people would be eLevate members, multiple of them. They told me it's game changing. And I'm like, yeah, eLevate. Game changing. Love the tagline.Brad Crowell [00:05:24]:Love it.Lesley Logan [00:05:25]:Before we talk about Jill Bunny and Kristen Crowley. I just want Jill Bunny's name. I'm just going to be really honest. I want it. (Brad: It's a name.) I want to know. I have so many questions about that.Brad Crowell [00:05:36]:If it was like she nicknamed herself.Lesley Logan [00:05:38]:But I don't think I don't. I don't think so. Especially after my brother sat there and read every baseball player name off to us. And I was like, really? Someone named their kid that oil win something.Brad Crowell [00:05:52]:Anyways, what if she had a brother named Jack?Lesley Logan [00:05:56]:Jack Bunny and Jill bunny.Brad Crowell [00:05:58]:Yeah.Lesley Logan [00:05:59]:Well, like, just Jack and Jill.Brad Crowell [00:06:01]:Well, Jack Rabbit bunny.Lesley Logan [00:06:04]:Oh, I see. I was thinking of Jack and Jill. I wasn't thinking of Jack Rabbit.Brad Crowell [00:06:07]:I like the Jack and Jill, too.Lesley Logan [00:06:08]:Because also it makes me think of those houses where they have a bathroom in between, two bedrooms for siblings to share, but the sink is always too low.Brad Crowell [00:06:17]:I'm sure she's heard that before.Lesley Logan [00:06:19]:I'm sure she heard all of this. I'm sure she's like, can we get to talking about me? Yes, we will, in just a second, Jill Bunny, because you're a badass. But first, we have an audience question.Brad Crowell [00:06:27]:Yeah, we do. The question was, do you actually schedule your lunch break?Lesley Logan [00:06:33]:Fuck yes, we do.Brad Crowell [00:06:34]:Yeah.Lesley Logan [00:06:34]:Did we always?Brad Crowell [00:06:36]:No, we didn't always.Lesley Logan [00:06:37]:Well, I did. When I was teaching, I always had a break in the middle of the day.Brad Crowell [00:06:42]:I did not.Lesley Logan [00:06:43]:You've never ever.Brad Crowell [00:06:44]:I've never been good at this except for, well, the last couple of years.Lesley Logan [00:06:46]:Sometimes at 02:00. Brad's like, I haven't eaten yet today. And I'm like, are you an adult? Are you hungry? We need to have a reminder.Brad Crowell [00:06:57]:I don't usually eat breakfast.Lesley Logan [00:07:00]:I know you really don't. But at any rate, I have always had a lunch. Now I have scheduled lunch because we work at home together, and if it's not scheduled, then one of us will interrupt the other person's work break. So we just take at the same time.Brad Crowell [00:07:13]:Yeah. And that's nice, actually. It's a lot of fun.Lesley Logan [00:07:15]:Yeah. Sometimes you make me lunch.Brad Crowell [00:07:17]:It happens. Definitely. But the reason that we do that is because if I didn't put it in my calendar, it wouldn't happen. I would just never take a lunch.Lesley Logan [00:07:27]:That's everything, you guys. If you don't put it in your calendar, it doesn't get done, period.Brad Crowell [00:07:31]:Yeah. So that's legit. Definitely scheduling your lunch break. It's worth it. You'll enjoy it.Lesley Logan [00:07:37]:And look, even if you don't, you're like, guys, I'm not that hungry. I can eat when I'm on the road. Our doctor, Dr. Bender, shout out to her. She, with both of us, is like, you have to sit down and just eat your lunch. Like not be on your phone, don't listen to a podcast, which we still do, but just not reading something for work, but just sit and eat your lunch and let it digest. And so we have a whole hour blocked off for lunch, every workday, and we can do whatever we want in that hour.Lesley Logan [00:08:10]:We can play around for half an hour and then eat lunch. We can eat lunch and then walk around the block or whatever.Brad Crowell [00:08:16]:Or you can make a really extravagant lunch that takes 45 minutes to make.Lesley Logan [00:08:20]:He does that a lot. He does that a lot. Or you can go and go, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to drive across town to get that coffee that would go great after this lunch right now, even though I can make that latte.Brad Crowell [00:08:33]:She does that a lot.Lesley Logan [00:08:34]:I do. But there's something luxurious about it. And here's the thing. There are times to hustle and to another shout out to Kareen until it comes a hassle. And you have got to take time for yourself and not just in the morning and not just at night, but different parts throughout the day. And lunch is very important. The only day we don't have lunch together is on Tuesdays because I have a fly session after my lunch, technically, so I have lunch after that. But you've made it for me before and we just put in the fridge and I'll eat it later.Lesley Logan [00:09:05]:So, yes, schedule your lunch break. You matter.Brad Crowell [00:09:09]:Okay, now let's talk about our guests,Kristen Crowley and Jill Bunny. As co-entrepreneurs I was just going to say copreneurs. As co-entrepreneurs, Jill and Kristen present a harmonious balance of analytical and creative approaches to business. Both promote building genuine online brands using their backgrounds to help women grow their brands. The name reFRAME became symbolic of their adaptability and resilience in the business landscape and they laughed and said the name just stuck. And that is like officially the name of their business. And what they actually focus on are events and retreats.Lesley Logan [00:09:49]:Yeah, I really loved a lot of what they said, it was actually a really fun conversation. They're really one of the few partnerships and I'm like, okay, they can work together as we've just seen too many partnerships not work out. They really understand each other and their strengths and everything. So I love this. Jill mentioned confidence comes over time and that just because you have a business doesn't actually mean you are a business owner. That kind of also comes with time. And I think that's really interesting because first of all, I think there's a lot of people going, oh my God, I don't want to be a business owner, but like fell into this business and also you don't know what you don't know. So you're kind of flying by the seat of your pant, moment to moment, trying to figure things out.Lesley Logan [00:10:33]:And then over time, you get confidence, like, oh, I've seen this problem before. And it's really like those after that first year or so, you really go, okay, I got this down, okay? It's not going to blow up on me. And I've got some ideas. So I think that that was really cool. So she said what we have to do is put the reps in and the time in and be proud of what you're good at. And I just thought, what a great thing to highlight, just be proud of what you're good at. Too often people are like, oh, I don't want to brag about what I'm good at because some people are going to think I'm overconfident or weird or whatever. And it's like, actually no, you should be really proud of what you're good at because we're not good at everything.Lesley Logan [00:11:10]:And so the things we're good at are like going to propel the business forward and the things we're not good at, we're going to hire out.Brad Crowell [00:11:15]:Yeah, I think that it was interesting just to hear them talk about how they connected with each other and how it became like obviously kindred spirits. And we often tell people not to partner up with people, but I know part of the conversation, you talked about it being like a marriage, which we've talked about here before on this pod, but they totally agreed and they both came from businesses before and partnerships before in different ways and it just seemed to make sense. It seemed to click for them. So I thought that was really interesting.Lesley Logan [00:11:56]:Yeah, well, I mean, just to jump into your side of things, they said you need to make sure that your partner has the same moral compass. And I think that is the same as your partner in life, but really that makes a big difference. And I think a lot of people partner up in business and they both want the thing to grow and they don't want to do all the work alone, which is why they do it, but they don't actually have the same moral compass. In fact, in Agency Mini, this one person was like, hey, should I partner up with this studio owner? And I'm like, you mean the studio owner who's illegally got you classified as not an employee and is, in your words, squandering? No, you should not. You should not because that's not the same role compass.Brad Crowell [00:12:40]:Right. Yeah, totally. I'm glad they talked about partnerships, like how that works because they said that the thing that was really important was sitting down and being crystal clear with each other about things. Like number one thing was money. Are we both putting our personal money into this? Are we raising money from somewhere else? Like, how are we doing this? What are our expectations and how is this going to work? And they both agreed on the way that it would work and effectively being transparent about their personal finances just in case something didn't go the way they expected, could they continue to keep it going? And they effectively made a financial commitment to each other, and then they agreed on they understood, okay, cool. This is where we're at. They said, specifically because at the end of the day, everyone has to be on the same page.Lesley Logan [00:13:34]:Well, here's what I love. It's all communication, and this is the same thing.Brad Crowell [00:13:37]:It really is.Lesley Logan [00:13:38]:This is why I keep saying it's a partnership and your business is like a marriage. You have to do the exact same thing before you marry someone. These are the exact same things you have to do. But I think so many people are afraid of looking dumb or like they know what they're doing, or they get caught up in the excitement of what the business could be. And it's like, you got to sit down and just go, okay, down and dirty. Like, how deep am I going to get into this? How deep are we both getting into this before we go? This isn't working. You have to have the exit strategy as well, because you do have to think, what if this doesn't go well? Who gets what? What happens here? And I learned that from oh, my gosh, a podcast I listened to ten years ago.Lesley Logan [00:14:19]:These two girls became friends on Facebook or whatever. They both did similar things. They partnered up and had an amazing podcast. It was one of the top podcasts at the time for women in business. And they decided to eventually actually make a membership together, which would be the first thing, except for the podcast, where they actually made money together. And they brought on their lawyer, and they said, we sat down with a lawyer and we said, what do we need to talk about before we do this? And she said, we should talk about what happens if one of you doesn't want to do this anymore. We have to talk about how this ends, what are the different ways it could end, and then what happens? And that was such an interesting thing to hear, because no one wants to talk about, like, well, how does it end? But you have to think about it so that if you do need to walk away, how much does each person get? How much do you have to pay to get out of it? Or how much should you get paid to get out of it? So I really enjoyed listening to the fact that they talked about the money. They were very clear on things, and they got very vulnerable about what the states of their personal lives were, because guess what? Your personal life comes into your business all the fucking time.Brad Crowell [00:15:30]:Yeah, totally.Lesley Logan [00:15:31]:All the time.Brad Crowell [00:15:32]:Totally.Lesley Logan [00:15:32]:If anything's going on with one of our family members and they call us the middle of a workday, you better believe it fucks the day up. So I just thought it was really nice, honest conversation.Brad Crowell [00:15:42]:Yeah. And they talked briefly about some red flags, and that was basically hiding things and not being communicative or not being as committed to the vision. And they said, definitely partnerships shouldn't be formed out of desperation. A good partner should push for growth and also keep one on track.Lesley Logan [00:16:08]:Can we just highlight, partnerships should not be put together out of desperation. So if you are having someone partner with you because you're desperate and you need help in your business, that is not the best time to get a partner. You need to take a pause and really understand what you're doing because you'll partner up with someone who you think is a lifeline, and then it just really changes the roles and you don't think through things clearly.Brad Crowell [00:16:34]:Yeah. I do think that if you are going to bring on a team member or a partner, it should be someone with complementary skills, skills that are not your own, so that you're not both trying to do the same things. But yeah, like making a partnership out of desperation is dangerous. (Lesley Logan: Yeah.) All right, so finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Kristen Crowley and Jill Bunny? They said when it came to understanding and presenting your authentic self online rather than imitating others. So this is actually really similar to what we were just talking about with a PR person in the last episode, because what their retreats are all about is rebranding your brand. So if you're stuck, you're not feeling like you know what you're doing with your brand, then they offer these events where you can dig in over a couple of days, or some of them are just day retreats and really analyze your social media presence and the way your brand looks and all these kinds of things. And so when they're talking about presenting yourself authentically we're reiterating this here, people, because they said building a brand is about knowing who you are and who you're serving, and then you're going to structure everything around it, around your story, and then the problems that you're solving for the people that you're serving.Lesley Logan [00:18:08]:I love this is back to back with Whitney Lee.Brad Crowell [00:18:09]:It's kind of crazy.Lesley Logan [00:18:10]:You did a good job there. So I actually really enjoyed the action items that Jill talked about because she's like, I'm Jill 2.0 and she is, like, checking in throughout the day if what she's doing is aligned with her, with the 2.0. So all these things that she wants are the actions that she's taking, align with that, not just writing them down and going off onto the day, but really checking back in. So it's not just about journaling, so you feel good about yourself, but actually going, okay, where am I at in alignment with what this is? Am I actually doing those steps that get through there. And it made me think of Alan Stein Jr. Jeez. His interview from the beginning of this year just keeps on giving, and his whole thing is he ends every single day. Like, am I 1% closer to the man I want to be? And it's like, how can you find time in your day to check back in with your actual goals and just really understand, like, okay, today I did these things, and they had nothing to do with 2.0, in fact, I like, went backwards, and just being honest with that.Brad Crowell [00:19:12]:Episode 167.Lesley Logan [00:19:13]:167. I was not going to get that because I don't remember what the year started. But that's my fault. Maybe I should study.Brad Crowell [00:19:20]:It's all good. You're fine.Lesley Logan [00:19:21]:I know, but I want to be like that guy who's uncrooked, who he can go Oscar winner director, 1973. And he's like, DA DA DA DA. And I'm like, no, maybe I don't have that skill. But be it till we see it. Right. So, anyways, I think it's really important to check back in, whether it's a vision board or a journal or a goal, just making sure each day it's like, look at that and go, yes, I'm still on track. Or go, oh, wow, I got a little derailed today. Little derailed.Lesley Logan [00:19:52]:And what can you do to just get back on that I just thought was a really fun way of reflecting on where we're trying to be so we can be it till we see it.Brad Crowell [00:20:01]:I love it.Lesley Logan [00:20:02]:Me too. I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell [00:20:03]:And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan [00:20:04]:Thank you so much for listening to this amazing podcast. We couldn't do it without you.

Before we get too far into this episode, I want to let you know that I firmly believe this idea of having a family & work life balance is a myth. There is no perfect balance to be achieved here. Anyone who says they have this sorted and can perfectly balance it all is either lying to you or lying to themselves. That being said, I do think there are some things we can do to make this easier on ourselves. I've gathered some of the most frequently asked questions I receive from women just like you, and I'm going to cover this topic by answering some of those for you in this episode.Episode HighlightsThe truth about a family & work life balanceHow to set boundaries between work time and family timeHow to work at home with littlesHow to keep mom guilt at bay when you feel like you're not doing enoughWhere to connect with others who are also just doing their daily bestResources MentionedJoin our Create Some Breathing Room podcast community Follow Emily Schwalbach on InstagramRelated Episodes / You Might Also LikeEpisode 17 - Identifying Priorities as a Work-at-Home MomEpisode 18 - Giving Yourself Grace Through Seasons of LifeConnect with Rachelracheldbaker.comInstagram @rachel.d.baker Email rachel@racheldbaker.comRead it on the blogSome of the links I share are affiliate links, and I will earn a commission if you go through them to make a purchase.

Amandha Vollmer is back in the house and this time she is going to demystify for us the topic of contagion. Is there an invisible v1ral bogey man out there waiting to get us and then cause us to spread to other members of our families and our loved ones?Are we really that weak and susceptible as a species?Or is this a story created many generations ago that has served to instil fear and thus allow for control over the people?May sound a little crazy, but for those who have eyes to see, what we are being told and sold over the airwaves is not exactly factual, nor is it backed by actual scientific rigour. And if one has the intelligence to spot patterns, it's not hard to see that there are repetitive tactics being used which kinda go like this...1) invisible enemy is declared (which require no actual, factual proof of existence)2) create fear and population responds as expected3) provide the solution that is going to save us allIf you look back and analyze some major events in the past, you may recognize this patterning...but then, maybe you won't.For an intro as to who Amandha Vollmer is, please refer to episode #11 , and also #30, and #47. And be sure to listen to those episodes in their entirety...so many gems of wisdom throughout and also practical information.So what are we going to learn today...How Amandha's suspicions of how disease is diagnosed led her down the path of investigating how we actually get sickHow the natural path of enquiry as to how we can address symptoms and our general state of health is not being followedWhy the answers to our health must start with each of usHow there continue to be 'camps' of capture preventing even those suspicious of western medicine to truly understand the origins of diseaseWhen suppression is useful and helpful via pharma solutionsCommon symptoms we are seeing the masses today as a result of recent new medicinesWhen thinking about the body, how we should think about our internal environment not about an invisible pathogen waiting to come in an attack us... why are out tissues not functioning as they should be?The role of our terrain in our state of healthThe idea the germ is the disease result NOT the cause of diseaseHow disease processes are actually the body trying to regain homeostasis by getting rid of what it doesn't want while creating or pulling in things that it does wantHow microbes are an essential part of who we areHow 'somatids' change their size and shape (the pleomorphic cycle) as the body works to return to health when out of balanceHow this pleomorphic cycle is dormant when we are in a healthy stateHow if we were to check if the somatid cycle was active in a person we could predict way ahead of time (up to years) whether someone was on the path to sicknessHow many other micro bodies change shape (and therefore function) like white blood cells, bacteria (can change into spore form, 'viral' form and more)How these microbes are coming in to repair the terrain not to harm and the state of the terrain dictates what will show upHow parasites are always present for a reason, they do not thrive in healthy bodies that don't need themHow these so-called pathogens are the 'digesters' of life, they break dead and dying tissue down and consume toxinsWhy we don't want to simply just kill parasites in our bodies and why that is only one step of the processWhy it is important to do a cleanse once a year and then a smaller cleanse 6 months laterIdeas for cleansingThe fact that there is no actual contagion as we have been soldHow families may resonate together to go on yearly 'detoxes' togetherOther possible explanations as to how we get sickThe fraud of the PCR testWhat chicken pox really isHow being injected for chicken pox as a child can result in a dangerous episode of it later in life (Amandha's story)How you can personally learn through Amandha's offeringsand more!This episode is packed with info and common sense... a great combination.Please share with your friends and families and on your social media platforms... this is very important information that needs to be spread far and wide.Follow Amandha:https://www.instagram.com/amandha.d.v/https://www.instagram.com/yummy.doctor/https://t.me/amandhavollmerhttps://yummy.doctor/Shop: https://yumnaturals.store/Amandha's book: https://healingwithdmso.com/For a more in depth explanation of pleopmorphism: https://yummy.doctor/video-list/pleomorphism-an-overdue-scientific-paradigm-shift-with-amandha-vollmer-true-earth-equinox-summit/I'm curating some great products, check out my store page:https://www.sovereigncollective.org/shop/If you like what you heard here then please share!

And execution trumps knowledge every day of the week. Get you some asset allocations that are simple to understand and simple to implement. Then protects you from both yourself and economic disruptions. There are 4 different types of economic climates, according to Ray DalioRay Dalio is a billionaire investor and founder of Bridgewater Associates. He is known for his unique investment strategies, including the "All Seasons" portfolio, which is designed to perform well in all types of economic environments.The All Seasons portfolio is based on the principle of diversification and is designed to provide steady returns with low volatility. The portfolio is constructed by allocating assets across four broad categories: stocks, bonds, commodities, and inflation-protected securities. Each category is expected to perform well in a different economic environment:Stocks: Stocks tend to perform well in a growing economy with low inflation.Bonds: Bonds perform well in a recessionary environment with falling interest rates.Commodities: Commodities, such as gold and oil, tend to perform well in times of high inflation.Inflation-Protected Securities: These securities are designed to provide protection against inflation and perform well in high inflation environments.The specific allocation to each category will depend on the investor's risk tolerance and investment goals. However, a typical All Seasons portfolio might allocate 30% to stocks, 40% to long-term bonds, 15% to intermediate-term bonds, 7.5% to gold, and 7.5% to inflation-protected securities.The All Seasons portfolio is not a guarantee of returns and is subject to market fluctuations. However, it provides a balanced approach to investing and can be a useful tool for investors who want to reduce their overall risk while still achieving reasonable returns over the long term.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-secret-to-success/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Are index funds a menace to the market? Are pension funds still a wise way to secure your financial future? In this episode, we discuss index funds, the state-sponsored pension plan in Canada, and much more. First, we unpack the nuances of index funds and take a look at the impact that active and passive investors have on the market. We discuss current index fund trends, when to switch from a passive to an active investor, and the dreaded index fund tipping point. To help us understand pension funds, we also chat with Jordan Tarasoff, a financial planner at PWL Capital, about the recent controversy regarding state pension schemes in Canada, and he provides us with some valuable insights into the government's upcoming plan. We switch up our usual book review to celebrate Financial Literacy Month and share five recommended books that will help you improve your understanding of finance. We also try something new by giving listeners a condensed overview of a previous episode with one of our favourite guests, Scott Rieckens.
