Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here—and this conversation is a game-changer. If you've ever juggled childcare, business, and the never-ending to-do list, this episode is going to hit home. We're joined by Sheila Lirio Marcelo, the brilliant founder of Care.com and now co-founder of Proof of Learn—where she's leveraging AI to reimagine how families function in today's fast-paced world. Sheila's journey from needing childcare help as a young mom in law school to building a billion-dollar solution is nothing short of inspiring. But what's even more powerful is the next chapter she's writing—one where technology doesn't replace human connection, but enhances it. We dive deep into how AI, blockchain, and learning platforms like Proof of Learn are equipping families with more freedom, more leverage, and more possibility. This conversation covers everything from entrepreneurship as a mom, to the emotional toll of leadership, to what it looks like to make bold pivots later in your career. Sheila shares how she learned to delegate, how she created boundaries to protect her family time, and what she's most excited about building next. If you've ever felt like you're drowning in logistics—or you dream about what's possible when families have more time—this episode is for you. You'll walk away encouraged, inspired, and reminded that with the right support, your vision for family + business can thrive.

In this episode, Dr. Moshe Daniel Block, a naturopathic doctor and innovator in holistic health, shares his journey from being a sick child to discovering the power of the mind-body connection in healing. He discusses his unique approach, the VIS Dialogue, which emphasises the importance of asking questions to uncover subconscious beliefs that contribute to illness. Dr. Block also explores the concept of electroculture in agriculture, the significance of flexibility in health, and the idea that chronic illness can serve as a catalyst for personal growth and spiritual evolution.TakeawaysDr. Block developed the VIS Dialogue, a counseling method that integrates mind-body medicine and psychology.Electroculture uses energy from the atmosphere to enhance agricultural growth.Personal experiences with illness can lead to a deeper understanding of health and healing.The mind and body are interconnected; mental beliefs can manifest as physical illness.Chronic illness often serves as a message for personal growth and self-reflection.Healing is not a linear process; individuals may experience ups and downs in their journey.Beliefs about perfection can hinder healing and contribute to illness.The VIS Dialogue focuses on asking questions to help clients uncover subconscious beliefs.Unconditional okayness is a key principle in achieving mental and emotional well-being.Daily practices like Kriya Yoga can help maintain a state of peace and acceptance.Time Stamps00:00 Introduction to Dr. Moshe Daniel Block03:00 Electroculture and Alchemy in Agriculture08:15 Personal Journey Overcoming Illness and Finding Purpose14:50 The Mind-Body Connection in Healing20:00 Chronic Illness as a Message for Growth28:00 The Role of Beliefs in Health and Healing33:00 Lessons from Personal Struggles and Compassion in Practice35:00 Navigating Parenthood and Personal Transformation40:00 The Power of Questions in Healing48:00 The Essence of Being Okay with What Is57:00 Daily Practices for Inner PeaceHow to contact Dr Moshe Daniel BlockVis Dialogue Training - Holistic Counseling Certification for Practitioners holistic-counseling.caSix month Health Program for anyone struggling with health issues, mental, emotional, and physical, chronic disease. https://dr-moshe.com/

Tired of being misunderstood all the time? Are you looking for ways to stop living up to other people's expectations? Then this podcast is for you.  Today, Jay Shetty welcomes world-ranking professional tennis player Nick Kyrgios. Nick burst onto the pro tennis scene in 2012 after a prolific junior tennis career. Since his start he has captivated fans with a larger than life personality, passion for the game, and unpredictability. Kyrgios has won 7 singles titles and 4 doubles titles in his career, but 2022 marked the first time Kyrgios displayed his dominance making it to his first Grand Slam Final, winning 3 singles titles, and 3 doubles titles. He also reached the Quarter Finals of the 2022 US Open beating then-ranked No. 1 Daniil Medvedev and is one of the few players on Tour who have beaten the Big Three (Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal) at least once.  In this conversation, Nick opens up about how his strong personality online has sparked hate and negativity - how misunderstood his persona is and how different he is with friends and family. Nick also briefly talks about dark times, dealing with depression and addiction and turning the most difficult phase of his life into a pivotal moment to have the best year of his life when he reached the Wimbledon final. He also talks about looking at life beyond tennis and what awaits him in the future. In this episode, you will learn: How to accept your flaws How to overcome fear and anger How to turn your life around How to deal with negativity How to become your best self A truly inspiring story begins with a challenge and ends with a triumph, and Nick has just proven to us that success isn't elusive when you dream big and work hard for it.  With Love and Gratitude, Jay Shetty What We Discuss: 00:00 Intro 00:54 Enjoying Some Time Off 02:00 Nick Used to Hate Playing Tennis 03:35 Misbranded by the Media 06:00 The Effects of Promoting Negative Content 08:25 Dealing with Mental Health in Silence 10:49 Getting Out of the Darkest Moments 15:08 How Hard Work Led to Wimbledon 17:04 People Only See the Anger 19:23 People Will Always Have Something to Say 22:56 Being Okay with Leaving the Game Behind 24:52 Nick Talks About His Injury 25:46 Would You Spend Time with Your Haters? 28:25 Playing the Character of a Villain 29:55 The Best Crowd to Play For 33:32 Who is the Nice Guy Nick? 34:59 Tennis Is A White Privileged Sport! 38:34 How Media Can Negatively Affect Your Mental Health 44:26 How Strong Boundaries Make Relationships Work 49:36 An Old Conversation with Drake 51:50 Happiness is Spending Time with Family 54:44 The Many Breakdowns that People Do Not Know 59:14 What's Keeping You Busy These Days? 01:00:30 The Best Places to Visit 01:02:00 Regrets of Losing a Loved One 01:06:44 Learning How to Bounce Back Right Away 01:07:58 The Hardest Lesson You Had to Learn 01:12:05 How Stress Can Affect How You React to People 01:16:24 Why Would You Break a Racket? 01:19:14 Routine Consistency is Hard Work 01:21:15 The Struggle of Letting People Down 01:24:13 Nick on Final Five Episode Resources: Nick Kyrgios | Website Nick Kyrgios | X Nick Kyrgios | Instagram Nick Kyrgios | Facebook Want to be a Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach?

Is your life "just okay"? As humans, we are used to living in a 3D world where being okay is the norm. Even if someone is falling apart, it is natural for them to respond, "I'm okay," so you won't feel uncomfortable. We would feel highly vibrational if we decided we didn't like being okay. Maybe you feel like life is against you and the world is falling apart. You seem to be going through the motions of convincing yourself everything will be okay. It's part of our programming. I personally don't ever want to be just okay. After receiving a new heart last week, everything changed for me. As a result, I learned to ask for help if I needed it.  There is no need to do things alone. Ask for help when things seem to be going south, and stop accepting being okay as your baseline. Connect with Samantha on InstagramGrab your Out of this World  CHILL GLITTER HERE

Finding Success in Life Experiences and Connections with Will Jennings  No matter how far you've come, you don't have to know everything. There is always something new to learn from life experiences and people whose paths you cross in our ever-changing world. It is essential to keep your mind open and find a thirst for learning to hone the successful person you could become. Today, our guest shows how embracing a growth mindset and finding meaning in the fundamentals of life reflect success.  In this episode, Will Jennings shares things he takes pride in that influenced the successful man he is today. He discusses picking up life lessons from everyday life experiences and keeping an eye for learning. Tune in to this episode to discover valuable insights on what success really means and how life experiences and people play a significant role in your journey. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:  Find out Will's three proudest moments and draw wisdom from them. Learn Will's secret to success.  Understand the value behind being okay with not knowing everything.  Resources  Map Out the Life that You Deserve with Angela Connect with Will: LinkedIn Episode Highlights  [02:32] Balancing Life and Work  The key is to leave early in the morning. The remote work setup helped Will develop a second set of habits.  Now that people are transitioning out of the remote work setup, there's a need for a third set of habits or redeveloping a new routine.  Working with a standing desk makes Will work better because movement and walking give him a different energy. [06:58] Proudest Moment #1: Life Lessons and Experiences Growing Up  Will is proud of his experiences growing up — both good and bad — since they shaped him into who he is today.  He acknowledges his experiences growing up as the building blocks of his life today.  Who we are today is a result of where we came from.  [08:19] Will's Building Blocks  Will grew up in West London, which was a very multicultural area back then.  Growing up in a melting pot exposed him to different people and cultures.  His education in London also influenced his beliefs and values.  His early years allowed him to build his character and try different things.  [10:57] Lessons from Childhood  Will wants to instil the value of commitment and work ethic in his children.  He wants to show the importance of being honest and staying present.  Will finds importance in trusting in yourself and your capabilities, and these are the basics that he wants to pass on to the next generation.  [16:05] Proudest Moment #2: Being Okay with Learning Things  Will takes pride in not knowing everything and being open to learning new things.  He is open-minded and has a thirst for learning.  For Will, the ability to pass on knowledge is part of finding solutions to issues.  Sometimes, we also need to listen and learn from other people's perspectives.  His readiness to learn new things also allows him to connect with people and broaden his perspective.  [21:31] On His Thirst for Learning  For Will, it's part of his role now as a leader.  Learning and unlearning are part of building connections with people and helping them reach their potential.  There is no rulebook on how to navigate the pandemic. It pushed Will to take a step back and learn how to manage people after all the physical and psychological changes.  Sometimes, you have to be humble and accept that you don't know everything.  [25:36] On Leading an Organisation  Will says he does not want to give people a false sense of comfort that things will be okay.  Instead, he focuses on equipping people with tools that allow them to accept and face the volatility of reality.  As a leader, Will believes in being straightforward, enabling support, and allowing people to be open about their fears and aspirations.  It is essential to allow people to be vulnerable and encourage them to reach their full potential.  [34:18] Proudest Moment #3: The Company He Keeps The people surrounding him are a never-ending source of inspiration, pride and optimism.  For Will, every persona meets plays a role in his life.  The interactions and connections he establishes are opportunities to gain new perspectives and learn.  [37:45] On Staying Present    Will admits that he struggles with being preoccupied with other things rather than staying present during family time.  It is essential to focus on things that you can control.  [42:02] Will's Secret to Success  Understand what it is you're trying to achieve.  Stay curious, learn new things, and listen. Be fair in how you treat people.  Have the courage to take on any challenge.  Have a growth mindset.  5 Powerful Quotes  [11:14] “If you really do want something, and if you really do want to be somewhere, or to achieve something even if it's for yourself… commit to it and really trust yourself to do it.”  [24:19] “You just have to be humble enough to accept the fact that you don't have the answer.” [27:48] “If you make sure you look after yourself, that you're the best that you can be, that you're delivering your potential, the result will take care of itself.”  [38:56] “And you should embrace what you can control because to think and worry and to be preoccupied with things that are outside your control is really to deal with it twice.” [46:20] "You don't really fail — you just learn."   About the Guest  Will Jennings is the Chief Executive Officer of Rabobank in the UK. Before becoming the CEO, he worked as the Chief Risk Officer.

Why The Conventional Approach To Endo Can Waste Time

Dr. Amy Day joins us today as we're digging into how to get pregnant naturally with endometriosis. Endometriosis affects approximately 175 million women in the world and 1 in 10 women in their reproductive years. It can take anywhere from 6-10 years to get an endometriosis diagnosis – so many women struggle and are simply told, “that it’s just a bad period”. March is endometriosis awareness month. As you may know, we specialize in complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, and diminished ovarian reserve. Many women with endometriosis have low AMH and they are told that IVF is their only option. This conventional medicine approach leaves couples that are trying to conceive frustrated and unsure of their next steps – especially if they have experienced IUI/IVF failures. What we know from working with clients with endometriosis is that healing opportunities are regularly missed…it’s not about focusing on the endo diagnosis it’s looking at the WHOLE body. What if there was a proven method to reduce endometriosis symptoms and get pregnant naturally? I’m excited to welcome Dr. Amy Day to the podcast. Dr. Day is a hormone expert, an author, and a speaker. She has been at the forefront of the natural women’s health movement since 2004 after receiving the 4th ND license in the state of California. In this episode you'll learn: 1) The conventional approach to endo versus the functional approach.. (i.e. surgery, birth control, and more). 2) The biggest mistakes around diet and endo 3) Why regulating blood sugar can be helpful for endo symptoms 4) How to minimize environmental toxin exposure and why this matters if you have endo. 5) Is endo always estrogen dominance?   Take the free quiz - Why Am I Always Tired - https://replenishyourenergy.com/quiz   TIMESTAMPS: 05:02- INTRO TO TODAY'S EPISODE AND DR.

I walked to the kitchen this morning and was grateful for two things... 1. That I washed the dishes last night but a few items were still left dirty in the sink. 2. That the dining room table was taken over by a puzzle. Funny how it's the little things lately that bring joy. The thing is, for so long my home had to be perfect. If you walked through my front door you might have asked yourself "does anyone live here?" I was proud of how tidy things were, how people commented on the beauty and flow of my environment, how everything was in place.... until the pandemic hit.  While I sat in my clean, organized, and beautiful home I realized I craved a bunch of shoes in the front hallway, dirty dishes in the sink, and random potato chips underneath the couch cushions! Why? Because that would mean life was actually happening and people I love were experiencing it with me. I now realize the extreme need for order was a veiled sense of control. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE organization. When my desk is clear and pretty with a vase of flowers, I tend to enjoy work more.  If my bed is made before I start my day, my experience that day feels more settled. How my keys hang on the little hook in the coat closet does in fact make me feel calmer knowing I won't be running around searching for them in a panic while I am already 5 minutes late. Yet with anything, there exists this dance with moderation.  The flexibility we allow within our schedules. Being OKAY with the late-night, Netflix binge-watching oily popcorn pan sitting in the sink overnight.  Averting your eyes to the dust in favor of a present and mindful conversation with a friend.  I knew I had encountered a positive turning point when my niece moved back in with me and commented on the "here and there" clutter by saying...  "IT ACTUALLY MAKES YOU SEEM MORE...HUMAN" OH... M... GEE I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! That comment has lingered in my heart and soul and has saved me each time I want to run the vacuum OR call my parents back...wash the dishes OR sit down and watch the latest episode of The Crown with her. It's brought me back to reality when I get anxiety about a missing remote control or glasses or AirPods (funny how they ALWAYS eventually show up especially when the only places I go these days are the grocery store and on walks!) In all seriousness, I'm grateful for the clutter. No, I am not talking about extreme clutter that holds you down and drains your energy. I am talking about loving that Thanksgiving dinner had to be on the little pull-out table in my kitchen because the Parisian puzzle my niece is joyfully working on is holding court on my pretty dining room table.  I am talking about leaving the bed unmade on a Sunday in favor of watching CBS Sunday morning. These and many other moments are where I have learned to feel a sense of contentment in what used to be viewed as "clutter." Let's take it a step further and branch outside our home into "relational clutter"... in the form of friends, family, and colleagues.  How "okay" are you with the messiness of life when it comes to differing opinions? There is a ton of that going around these days with the two big "P's"... POLITICS PANDEMIC Now more than ever, it's important to be okay with this kind of clutter.  Everywhere you turn, you may have people in your life like I do who have differing opinions on both topics. For me, it's been an experiment in being curious and (trying) to firmly plant myself in my own business while resisting the urge to control, judge, or change anyone's minds.  This mantra has been life saving and thank you Wayne Dyer for letting me adjust it a bit... "What another person thinks of me and how that person thinks is none  of my business." There is freedom in letting go of the need to be liked and instead loving yourself enough to let go of trying to manage other people's perceptions of you.  When you release the need for outside validation regarding how pretty your home is or the opinions you possess, a sense of peace arises and you finally have the time to focus on what actually brings you joy, contentment, and calm.    If you find yourself, like me, looking outward for control perhaps it might be useful to go within and investigate what you might be avoiding internally. Becoming vulnerable with ourselves, making peace with ourselves, and finding healing within ourselves is really the only kind of control we have in this life.  So this week, if you find yourself freaking out about the clutter, take a breath and know that the answer to any roadblock or challenge lies within you. The world and any hiccups that come your way is an invitation into growth.  I'll leave you with 3 tips that have helped me navigate this sense of moderation as it relates to the many forms of clutter.... 1. PCC Pause, Challenge Yourself with A Question, and Make a Choice. Whatever clutter triggers you, simply pause for a few breaths and ask yourself "how do I want to feel in this moment/during this conversation?" The choice you make will literally dictate your reality.  2. Prioritize Even though it's driving you crazy having the pile of laundry sitting on your bed waiting to be folded, does it really make sense to quick finish it while risking running late to meet a friend? Is it helpful to linger too long about a loved one being upset with how they perceive you or your opinions... OR would it make better sense to protect your precious joy and focus your attention on cultivating more of it today? 3. Focus On And Delight In "Mini Miracles" The sun rose today just for you and there wasn't anything you needed to do to make that happen.  The rose tea arrived  (from "The Tea Spot" in Boulder, CO!..highly recommend) and waiting to be enjoyed this morning. There are hundreds of things you could do today to bring joy... which one will you choose? Adopt a dog? Make banana bread? Host a Zoom family call?  (Need inspiration? Click here for my favorite "Tranquility Treats" That's it for this week my friend. I am off for a walk so the dishwasher, laundry, AND BED can be attended to later. Who would have thought!!! But it's Sunday, right??!!  Have a great week :) Love, Meg

[1:45] “What does it means by being "in flow" in a relationship?” [2:38] “What impact do we have when we are incredibly comfortable and truly focused on someone else?” [3:13] "Because you're not over analyzing, [..,], you remove the pressure of yourself to prove that you're good or worthy." [4:06] "What makes us a good listeners, is that we don't have filters in our brain".[4:54] "If I can't be myself, and they don't connect with me. Fine! Then, they're not compatible with me".[6:14] "When you're patient, and you don't jump to conclusions [..,] you get very informed".[7:25] “The beautiful things happen to us when we get more informed.” [7:59] “How do you tell when you're "out of flow" in a relationship?” [9:05] “How does stress affect our relationships?” [9:10] “You can’t have a connection to be informed when you’re shutting down.” [10:13] “We are fearing the ‘What ifs’, and the ‘What ifs’ are plenty. The mind can get creative on the ‘What ifs’, which makes it endless.” [10:56] How to turn get back "in flow" in a relationship. [11:45] How deep breathing helps turn back the flow. [12:00] The importance of the word ‘form’ in ‘Information’. [14:52] How to stay connected and in flow. "Life is abundance, but we have a hard time experiencing that abundance."
