In Part 2 of their conversation on Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen and Britain Covey dive deeper with bestselling author Dan Coyle into the practical, human side of flourishing. Dan reveals why being a great teammate is actually the highest form of leadership, shares his kids' brilliant insight that "annoyance is the price of community," and explains how AI for all its power can't ask a single good question. The episode is filled with personal stories, from Britain's NFL experience helping a competitor to Dan's upcoming "battle of the bands" with his dad friends in Brooklyn. They close with two simple but profound questions anyone can ask to start flourishing this week: Who do I feel most alive with? and What am I helping to grow? Tune in to hear the full conversation and discover how to start flourishing today.What We Discuss[02:25] Guardrails and Freedom: Why Living Systems Need Space to Breathe[05:21] The Elite Teammate Move: Looking Around for Someone to Help[10:30] Annoyance Is the Price of Community[13:30] AI and the Humanist Revival: What Artificial Intelligence Reveals About Us[15:41] Why Flourish Is Dan's Most Personal Book[18:06] Stupid Stuff With Friends: The Unexpected Gift of the Book[20:20] Red Doors, Green Doors, and Yellow Doors[21:35] Where to Start: Two Questions That Audit Your FlourishingNotable Quotes[06:20] " When there's a good leader, people say, oh, what a good leader. When there's a great leader, the people say, we did it ourselves.'" – Dan Coyle[10:34] "Annoyance is the price of community. And community is the only way you're gonna be saved." – Dan Coyle[21:37] "Who do I feel most alive with? And what am I helping to grow?

In this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen and Britain Covey sit down with bestselling author Dan Coyle, whose books The Talent Code and The Culture Code have already reshaped how we think about individual growth and team dynamics. Now, with his latest book, Flourish, Dan takes an even bigger step, exploring not just how we perform or collaborate, but how we build truly meaningful lives and communities. At the heart of it all is a radical reframe: flourishing isn't something you achieve alone. It's mutual, shared, and rooted in connection.Stephen and Britain reflect on how Dan's ideas echo their grandfather's concept of the maturity continuum, the journey from dependence to independence to interdependence, and how Flourish makes the case that interdependence, not independence, is the real destination. Dan shares vivid stories from his research, including the miraculous survival of the 33 Chilean miners, the New England Patriots' Super Bowl run, and a $90 million deli ecosystem in Ann Arbor, to illustrate how questions, pauses, and shared vulnerability unlock something in people that answers and productivity never can. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to move from self-improvement to shared flourishing in their teams, families, and everyday lives.What We Discuss[00:00] Introduction[02:09] What Does It Mean to Flourish?

They never happen with answers." – Dan Coyle[27:36] "If you're gonna have a system that's alive, imperfection should be celebrated.

Welcome to the latest episode, going to look at Sunday's match at Old Trafford and then look at where the team is, in the light of this week's Champions League semi-finals. I'm Paul, joined by Daz and Justin.Part One: Facing this Manchester UnitedTeam selectionAnticipation of how the game plays outUnited were overwhelmed by Leeds 2 weeks ago in the first half (conceded 2 goals). They came out and pressed really intently for 10 minutes against Brentford (had chances and scored from one of them).Defence looks very open - in each of their last 3 matches.Know, think, hope?That 3-0 win last year seems a long time ago. September 1 2024. Two Lucho goals and one Salah goal.Part Two - Everything else:Just seen the 2 Champions League semi-finalsTake aways - is defence over-rated? Speed kills.Luis DiazWhat's been going on tactically this season:OK we don't have that many good players yet Slot is still to blame for not getting more out of them? Which is it?Midfield gaps out of possession, inability to stretch the pitch in possession.Absence of coaching and training3 games left - Villa either at 12.30 on a Sunday or 8pm on a Friday - WTFWe will be back after the United game, hopefully with a good result to discuss.

Laurin is a transformation coach focused on relationships, mindset, and personal development, with a direct focus on male–female dynamics. Her approach is simple: “Raw truth. Real growth. No apologies.”In her words: “Truth over comfort. Structure over chaos. Coaching for people ready to lead themselves and stop repeating the same patterns.“Her starting point wasn't unusual—stable job, predictable routine, and a life that looked fine from the outside. Underneath it, things weren't working. That drift led her to nearly 125kg (275 lbs), before a moment where she made a clear decision: continue as is, or take control. What followed wasn't a quick fix, but a shift in identity, standards, and behaviour.Laurin shares her transformation from 275 pounds to bikini competitor, This amazing physical change came from consistent execution—early mornings, structured training, disciplined nutrition. But that wasn't the hard part. Relationships that once felt normal started to break down. The hard part was addressing the behaviours behind it. Binge eating, people-pleasing, avoidance—none of that gets fixed in a gym. It gets fixed by recognising it, owning it, and changing it.Her patterns weren't solved with workouts—they were addressed through awareness, coaching, ownership over emotion.Growth is selective. Not everyone comes with you.We talk about how her coach became her husband, and the “controversial” marriage rules that keep their relationship structured, passionate, and functional—covering respect, submission, boundaries, and avoiding sexless marriages. She also breaks down why the majority of her audience is male, the reality behind resistance to accountability, and what men can actually do to stay attractive, lead with confidence, and maintain polarity in male/female relationships.Laurin is direct about what most people avoid: without standards, you tolerate things you shouldn't. Over time, that creates resentment, confusion, and instability—whether that's dating or marriage (long-term relationships). Most of the time, it's not a compatibility issue. It's a self-leadership issue.Her work on masculine and feminine dynamics is grounded in what actually plays out, not theory. Attraction and stability rely on polarity. When there's no direction, no accountability, no emotional control—things fall apart. Respect drops first. Attraction follows. What's left is tension, inconsistency, and eventually, disconnection.This isn't about control or dominance. It's about clarity. Knowing your standards, holding them, and acting in line with them—consistently.Laurin's message is simple:You don't rise to your intentions—you fall back to your behaviours. Standards you don't enforce do not exist. And how you lead yourself determines everything that follows.At its core Lauren's message is grounded in reality: transformation hinges not on motivation, but on daily decisions, a supportive environment, high standards, and a powerful mindset.Transformation is not about motivation. It's about your decisions, repeated daily.Don't miss Laurin's insights on the dangers of silence in marriage, roles in relationships and why your mindset matters more than anything.

In this episode of The cityCURRENT Show, host Andrew Bartolotta sits down with Denise Silas, Founder and Empowerment Coach of Empowered by DS, for a powerful conversation about helping women grow with clarity, confidence, and community—right in the season of life they're in.Denise shares how her journey from decades of leadership experience led her to create spaces where women no longer feel stuck, isolated, or overwhelmed. Together, they explore why honoring life's seasons matters, how asking the right questions leads to clarity, and why community is essential for moving from survival to thriving.The conversation dives into:• Why so many women feel overwhelmed—and how clarity brings relief• The importance of community and not doing life alone• How coaching helps women uncover capacity, confidence, and direction• Why vision, reflection, and celebration matter at every stage• Creating spaces where commitment turns into action and growthIf you're a woman navigating change, leadership, motherhood, caregiving, or simply feeling “stuck,” this conversation will remind you: you're not alone—and you're not finished yet.Learn more: https://empoweredbyds.com/

This week, Erin and Sara discuss how to start the new year as their best selves. They are joined by author Cecily Mak to explore the different habits we use to escape our lives and why they act as dimmers, how we can go into this new year with more intentionality, and how to live our best lives.Executive Producers: Erin Foster, Sara Foster, and Allison BresnickAssociate Producers: Montana McBirney and Olivia GeffnerAudio Engineer: Josh WindischProduced by Wishbone ProductionProduced by Dear MediaThis episode is sponsored by:Chase (chase.com/SapphireReserve)Clean Simple Eats (cleansimpleeats.com PROMO CODE: FOSTER10)Cotton (fabricofourlives.com)Bon Charge (boncharge.com PROMO CODE: FOSTER)Goodwipes (goodwipes.com)Boll & Branch (bollandbranch.com PROMO CODE: FOSTER25)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kottie is back! She and Sam look back at the resolutions they made for 2025 and get real about what didn't stick and why. Now, they're setting fresh intentions for January and the year ahead in 2026. New year, same chaos with a little more clarity.

Work does not happen in a vacuum. It happens in spaces that shape how we feel, think, connect, and grow.In this episode, Andrew sits down with Jenna Mikus to explore what it means to design for human flourishing. Jenna brings a rare interdisciplinary lens that bridges architecture, wellbeing science, organizational design, and philosophy. Together, they unpack the concept of eudaimonic design and what it looks like in practice, from homes and workplaces to educational and community environments.Key TakeawaysMeaningful work depends on the environments that surround us, including physical, organizational, and social conditions.Eudaimonic design blends external structure with personal agency, recognizing that flourishing emerges through interaction, not control.Inclusive design strengthens wellbeing for everyone by offering choice, flexibility, and dignity across diverse needs and life stages.Sensory experience, awe, and delight play an underappreciated role in motivation, creativity, and connection at work.Designing for flourishing requires interdisciplinary thinking and a willingness to sit with complexity and uncertainty.Why This Episode MattersAs organizations rethink work, space, and culture in a post-pandemic world, this conversation offers a deeper foundation for those decisions. Rather than asking how to bring people back or drive performance, we should consider what conditions help people become their best selves.This episode expands the meaning of meaningful work by showing how design, wellbeing, and purpose intersect in everyday environments.About Our GuestJenna Mikus is a strategic advisor and researcher who brings together architectural science and wellbeing science to shape environments that support human flourishing.She is the Managing Partner of Eudae Group, where she guides organizations in designing spaces and experiences that elevate health, belonging, creativity, and innovation. Her work draws on more than twenty years of consulting experience, a background in engineering and design, and ongoing research across Human Buildings Interaction, salutogenic design, and inclusive environments.Jenna also serves as the Flourishing by Design Chair and holds fellowship appointments with the University of Melbourne's Centre for Wellbeing Science and Queensland University of Technology's Centre for Decent Work and Industry.ResourcesFollow Jenna on LinkedInEudae GroupFlourishing by Design (FxD) community of practiceUniversity of Melbourne Centre for Wellbeing ScienceQueensland University of Technology Centre for Decent Work and Industry

All Your Best Selves: How the Performing Arts Toolkit Can Help You Thrive Anytime, Any Place and with Anyone by J.J.R. Taylor Amazon.com TBCenterprises.com This book is about a new, yet old, approach to how we all engage with our minds and emotions. Through glimpses of the authors life and performing arts career, we can see how closely life and the performing arts can come together. Enough to display the need for all people, performer and non-performer alike, to use the tools and techniques of the fields of acting and improvisation to live richer and fuller lives. These are tools and techniques developed by masters in the craft of understanding how to take apart and put back together the human mind and emotions in multiple ways. Its effects have been proven profound and transformative on the stage. Yet, behind the scenes of life there have been decades of work and research done. In non-entertainment arenas such as education, therapy, the prison system, and children with ASD, parts of the dramatic method have proven to have made a difference and helped in all groups. This isn't about performing, this is about presence, about how we grow and develop our mind and emotions. Mnemonic methods are discussed and how they benefit the actor and non-actor alike. The work of three masters, K. Stanislavski, S. Meisner and U. Hagen are broken down to display how they work in the arenas of acting, then how they can be use by the reader to grow and develop themselves in life. Improvisation is looked at and how powerful it's simple games can be. This is a book about all of us and what we can grow into be, if we chose to use the time tested tools we already have.

“We live in the world we choose, but we have to learn how to make choices.”  We're used to thinking of literacy as reading and math—but what if the missing piece of success in life and business is emotional and mental literacy? The key idea here is simple: we've developed amazing tools to train actors to step fully into human emotion and psychology, and now it's time to bring those same tools into real life. When we can systematically break down a moment and understand our environment, purpose, and obstacles, we stop running on autopilot and start acting with clarity and intention.  James Rojas Taylor brings a compelling case for treating personal growth like a craft—with structured tools and creative exploration. His blend of Stanislavski's acting methods, self-created “suits,” and mental simulations opens the door for building empathy, sharpening awareness, and tackling both personal and global challenges.

I like car journeys in the passenger's seat. They give me time to think and rethink things beyond the shape of my life. I'm not allowed to play music, but I can in my head. Places blur. Memories tangle. Pitying voices from long ago garble in my ear on the thickened tongue of regret. “Muniza,” my husband says, eyes on the road. “Your skin is slipping.” | © 2024 by Fatima Taqvi.

In this inspiring episode of the Success Blueprint, I'll delve deep into the universal emotion of regret and how it can serve as a catalyst for personal growth and transformation. Regrets, whether from childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, midlife, or senior years, are a part of the human experience, but they don't have to define us. Join me as I explore how to turn regret into wisdom and use it as a stepping stone toward a brighter future.Key Takeaways:Regret as a Universal Emotion: Everyone experiences regret at some point in life. It's a natural part of being human, and it serves a purpose in prompting self-reflection and personal growth.Learning from Childhood Regrets: Our early regrets in childhood teach us valuable lessons about moderation, honesty, and resilience. They shape us in profound ways and help us develop empathy and problem-solving skills.Dealing with Adolescent Regrets: The teenage years are often marked by impulsive decisions and peer pressure. Regrets from this period can be transformed into opportunities for growth and resilience. Learning from these experiences can help us stand up for our values.Navigating Young Adult Regrets: In young adulthood, relationships and career choices can lead to regrets. These experiences are valuable in helping us understand our needs and desires. They can be used as a foundation for building healthier relationships and pursuing fulfilling careers.Reflecting on Midlife Regrets: As we reach midlife, we may look back at the roads not taken. Regrets over missed opportunities can be reframed as opportunities for self-discovery and new possibilities. Learn from these regrets and find ways to incorporate your values into your present.Senior Regrets and Missed Opportunities: As we grow older, we may regret not taking certain chances. It's never too late to seize new opportunities and make the most of life. Live boldly, pursue your dreams, and let go of past regrets.Coping with Regret: To cope with regret, it's essential to accept what happened, learn and grow from the experience, look ahead, forgive yourself, and make amends when necessary. Regret can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and change.Turning Regret Into Wisdom: Regret can be reframed into wisdom by seeking valuable lessons from past mistakes. Viewing regret as an opportunity for growth and self-improvement can help transform it into a positive force in your life.Share Your Story: Sharing your regrets with trusted individuals can help alleviate feelings of shame and isolation. Remember that everyone makes mistakes, and hearing others' stories can inspire you on your journey of personal growth.The Power of Regret: Regret is a reflection of how much you care about your choices and the impact they have on your life. Embrace your regrets, use them as a source of motivation, and take action to create a life filled with meaning, joy, and purpose.Join me in this episode as I explore the transformative power of regret and how it can be harnessed to shape your best self and a brighter future. Don't let regret hold you back; use it as a stepping stone towards a life of growth and fulfillment.Support the Show.Contact me:Daniel@mindsworx.comwww.mindworx.bizInstagram: @Mindworx_Coaching

On today's episode I am speaking with Stephanie Bacon. Stephanie is a passionate and fun-loving human who wants to share the freedom of a life authentically lived with all who are yearning for peace and connection. Her path includes 20+ years as an educator, 18 years of mothering, a Master's degree in curriculum and instruction, academic coaching certification, a stint as the teacher's union president, a divorce (there should be a certification for this), and several drafts of a rewrite on her life. She is currently finishing her PhD by researching the impact of teacher emotional and relational health and authenticity on teacher and student relationships.  As a teacher, she is dedicated to reducing friction (work loads, to-do lists, external demands) for educators, so they allow their unique gifts to be the driver of dynamic and deep learning. Stephanie knows that kids need social and emotional learning in addition to academic growth to take advantage of what this world has to offer them, but that learning starts with a teacher who is emotionally healthy and relationally skillful. She believes in the power of humans, young and old, to use their creativity to solve our most challenging problems when they are free from the efforts of shape-shifting to meet the expectations of others.

So many of our listeners and clients have often asked us, "How did you do it? How did you create your dream life?" The short answer is: By releasing everything that was keeping us from it. This episode dives into how we began on the journey of expansion, the investments we made in ourselves, and what actually moved the needle forward after spending over half a million dollars on personal and spiritual development.Reflecting on this has been so beautiful for us because it's easy to forget how much work we've done to be able to say with truth, "I am living my dream life." For years before we began healing together in friendship, we tried every additive process that you can think of. Reading every book, trying every manifestation method, and fearfully trying to control the process. Our attempts at manifestation back then were rooted in lack and it was only when we began to truthfully look in the mirror at ourselves and acknowledge the scarcity mindset and limits we picked up from our conditioning that we could begin to actively re-write them.The journey of becoming our most radically loving, "best" selves was not through adding things externally but was through releasing fear, guilt, shame, and smallness internally. The journey was an INSIDE-OUT process. It was in challenging every thought we ever believed about ourselves until finally we realized that we had the power and consciousness to CHOOSE who we want to become, rather than being puppets to a system that wasn't serving us.At the end of the episode, we share for the very time that we are finally putting together EVERYTHING we have learned into an immersive, 6 month mastermind for you fellow "cycle-breakers." The ones who are here to end the intergenerational patterns of fear and guilt to unleash your fullest potential and call in a bigger life, a life led by purpose. This is "The Unlayered Self."

In this episode of From Survivor To Thriver, we sat down with A. Garcia to talk about domestic violence, trauma, PTSD, and how all of these things can impact your life. A. went through many hardships starting at a very early age and has learned that being vulnerable, even when it's hard, can be the thing that helps you grow. During the past 35 years, A. Garcia has navigated through domestic violence, privacy, safety, vulnerability, and the mindset to endure personal adverse events in life. Her survival of a double attempted homicide while 8 months pregnant (by the father) and the desperation to survive became the catalyst to the creation of Be Your Incredible Self (BYIS) while achieving an undisputed outlook of independence. Her personal journey of post traumatic growth has led A. to dedicating her life in developing transformational programs, various forms of coaching, certification courses and establishing a nonprofit to help real time victims. Her commitment is to provide lifelong transformational habits that can restore your powerful internal sense of control.  Today, she prides herself on meeting the daily challenges of being vulnerable and safe at the same time while empowering others to Be Your Incredible Self. Her personal mission is to help lead others in transforming their survival of Domestic Violence into Post Traumatic Growth and to mitigate the depletion of resources for real time victims. In today's episode we cover: A.'s experience as a dancer in the ninetiesThe trauma's A. experienced early in life and how it impacted her lifeThe day A. learned and felt unconditional loveThe power of people that make you feel safeHow A. found the courage to leave a domestic violence situationHow A.s trauma impacted her relationship with her daughterHow mirror work can help you overcome your challengesUnderstanding how to intercept negative thoughts and triggersWe hope you enjoyed our conversation with A.!

There's no secret it's been a wild couple of years. From the COVID lockdowns, loss, loneliness, racial tensions and trauma, rioting, sexual abuse explosion, election mess, race for a vaccine, the vaccine rollout, big tech suppression, censorship, Afghanistan, Ukraine, inflation, money stress, parental rights challenges, abortion/life battles, Fentanyl/Substance abuse crisis, rash of shootings, crime explosion, transgender identity and ideology storm, the midterm elections, etc... We now have a mental health disaster going on. People are exhausted and emotionally shot with stress and anxiety, depression, and even suicidality, especially among our kids, soaring to heights we've never seen. Most are angry, confused, and searching for help, hope, and encouragement. Even more, before the pandemic, statistics showed that nearly 1 in 5 (20%) people live with a mental illness in their lifetime, but now rates of nearly every mental health category have skyrocketed. Therefore, in response to the craziness and chaos we've been experiencing around the world, we here at the Built Different Podcast wanted to acknowledge and recognize the month of May as Mental Health Awareness Month by embarking on a Mental Health Awareness Series where we will be having conversations with several mental/emotional health experts to shed light on the challenges and difficulties many face while also encouraging and equipping our listeners with practical tips and strategies we can begin implementing to increase our mental and brain hygiene. That being said, joining us today to kick off this series is a renowned and leading Licensed Professional Counselor, Speaker, Teacher, and incredible Author, Dr. Mark Mayfield.

Walt Morgan is a retired Navy Commander and Navy helicopter pilot, and he's also the founder of Translational Lift Coaching, where he works with individuals and teams to help them reach their full potential. Walt's wide-ranging background as a leader, teacher, student, and parent gives him a unique approach to helping people identify what they are doing well, what they could be doing better, and how to make subtle-yet-powerful adjustments that can lead to lasting change. - Walt grew up in rural Oregon, where agriculture and working lands were an important part of his upbringing. He attended college on a military scholarship, graduated, and began flying helicopters for the Navy. After 23 rewarding years of service, Walt retired from the Navy and made his way into corporate America, where he quickly discovered his talent and passion for coaching. Today, Walt has combined his innate skills as a coach with his deep desire to help people, and he's created a meaningful second act to his already impressive career. - I have had the great fortune of being coached by Walt for many years now, and I credit him and his guidance with helping me to identify the beliefs and ideas that are serving me well and to discard those that created friction. As you'll hear in this conversation, several of the insights I gained from Walt's coaching are what led me to leave the real estate business and fully focus on the purpose-driven work of conservation and this podcast. While I generally avoid blabbing about myself in these conversations, I feel that my personal experience with Walt speaks to the power of the work he does on a daily basis with many, many people. - Walt and I sat down at my dining room table and had a fun conversation about his life and career, including: Walt's upbringing in rural Oregon; his decision to join the military; lessons learned from helicopters, deployments, and decades of service; his experience on the morning of 9/11 and his work in the aftermath; discovering his love of teaching; harnessing youthful wild energy into something productive; becoming a coach; the difference between coaching and therapy; the Enneagram and Integral Coaching methodology; favorite books and music; and much more. - A big thanks to Walt for taking the time to chat and for his guidance over the years.
