Have you found yourself putting everyone else's happiness first, even in your own business? If you're addicted to external approval - or worrying that your work isn't “good enough” - this episode is one you can't miss! Today, we're chatting about the best ways to find success when you have “people pleasing” tendencies, especially for creatives, who commonly identify as people pleasers! Why does this instinct run so deep, and how is it shaping your results (without you even knowing)? I'm joined by the enigmatic Michele Kasl, a creative powerhouse who has run a successful digital and web design agency for over 20 years. She's a true expert in branding, design, and guiding business owners to show up online as their best selves. Michele shares her own personal struggles with people pleasing and the strategies she's used to create more joy, ease and success in her business! We're going behind the usual surface level fluff, sharing real habits and practical solutions for rewiring those old patterns. Here's just a taste of what you'll hear in this episode: Why do creatives (and business owners) fall into the “chameleon” trap - and how can it hurt you in the long run? What's the difference between adapting for clients' happiness and losing sight of your own goals? How does perfectionism sneak in, making it nearly impossible to finish or share your work? Why saying “no” (and picking a specialty) leads to more freedom, better results, and happier clients? What simple mindset shifts can pull you out of comparison mode so you can finally trust your expertise? If you've ever hesitated to market yourself or struggled to set real boundaries, this episode will help you see things differently - and get you excited about showing up as YOU. Listen in for honest stories, practical insights, and a big confidence boost to help you break the people-pleaser pattern for good. Curious? Pop on your headphones and join us for this lively, honest conversation! About our guest: With a 20-year career in the dynamic arena of branding and design, Michele Kasl has an unparalleled ability to blend creativity with strategic insight. Her vast design and creative direction expertise includes web design and development, UI and UX design, AI tools, branding, print design, copywriting and illustration.

The most common complaint I hear is that marketing takes up too much time. And you're not wrong if that's you. The way most people do their marketing is highly ineffective. So today's episode is designed to fix that! There's actually a really simple principle that most people overlook, but once you know it you'll completely change the way you approach your marketing strategy… …and trust me, it's much more powerful than you might think when you hear it! It's based on a well known phrase but we're going to change one word in it to shift the meaning! The answer can revolutionize everything - from how you attract an audience to the clients you sign, and even your bottom-line results. So, what's this word swap, and why does it matter? Listen in as I break down five key areas of your marketing, showing you exactly how this change can make your efforts more intentional, effective, and (finally!) less exhausting. Here's what I cover in today's episode: The faster way to create a scalable foundation for your business Why audience quality matters more than volume for your results - and your energy! What mistakes do most people make when creating content - and how can you avoid them? Why using tools (like AI) can help, but only if you're keeping your personal touch front and center. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective, practical actions, and a whole lot more clarity about what really matters for your marketing. That “five reels a day” pressure? You can let it go - and replace it with a focused, ease-filled strategy that works. Curious about the simple shift that changes everything? Hit play now and let's rethink marketing together! .....…….. Pricing Assessment Chat with Jessica Are you constantly second-guessing your prices?

There's few women who can put their hand on their heart and say that they've never struggled with their pricing decisions. If you ever found yourself agonising over your prices, tweaking numbers on your spreadsheet for hours, then dropping them by half when your prospect enquires …you're definitely not alone! Pricing is such a silent struggle, especially for women in business like me, who grew up in a household where it was considered rude to discuss money! Today on She's The Business Podcast, I'm breaking the taboo and talking openly about the topic most of us avoid: how to raise your rates ethically, keep your clients happy, and actually grow your business – all at the same time. Yes, it really is possible! I know that money talk can make us uncomfortable. It brings up all sorts of doubts, guilt, and that relentless inner critic. We worry about what our clients will think, whether we'll lose them, or if we'll sound greedy. But here's the twist: charging too little doesn't just hurt your bottom line - it can impact your energy, attract the wrong kind of clients, and even make you resent your business over time. So in this episode, I'm sharing what really works (based on years of experience and experiments!) when it comes to setting your prices right. If you've ever felt stuck, compared yourself to others, or dreaded making a change, this episode is for you. Here's what you'll hear more about when you tune in: Why do women find it so hard to talk about pricing, and what hidden consequences does undercharging really have? What are the most common fears about raising your prices, and are they as logical as they sound? How can shifting your price actually attract higher-quality clients and open new opportunities you haven't even seen yet? What mindset barriers pop up around “judgment” and how can you beat that inner critic at its own game? Why does standing out and differentiating yourself make pricing so much easier than just blending in with the crowd? All this and plenty of practical advice, without the gimmicky tactics or endless bonuses you see online. If you're ready to feel confident and energised about what you charge, tune in now ......……..

Most founders dream of raising millions. Few survive the 153 “no's” it takes to get there.Behind every biotech breakthrough lies exhaustion — late-night calls, failed rounds, and investors who walk away at the finish line.What separates the ones who make it isn't luck or timing — it's resilience built into process.In this episode, Jason Foster, CEO of Ori Biotech, shares how he transformed relentless rejection into a billion-dollar trajectory. From rebuilding cell-therapy manufacturing to leading global teams through economic storms, Jason reveals how founders can systematize grit, master storytelling, and survive when everything seems to fall apart.You'll learn how to navigate fundraising winters, why leadership begins with self-care, and how to build companies that endure long after the hype fades. If you've ever doubted your path as a builder, this conversation will remind you that resilience is not a trait — it's a practice.

Imagine waking up to find your company's most valuable IP leaked—not by hackers, but by the very AI tools you trusted.This isn't a distant scenario; it's happening inside pharma and biotech right now.And the cost isn't just financial—it's patient lives, broken trust, and an industry on the edge of losing credibility.

From her personal journey in post-Soviet Ukraine to building frameworks in global biotech, Kat reveals why “yesterday problems” with AI demand urgent attention today.You'll learn how data privacy failures propagate quietly, why embedding organizational values into AI is essential, and how collaboration across companies can safeguard innovation and accelerate therapies. The future of biotech won't be secured by hype or speed—but by trust, ethics, and the courage to act before it's too late.

How to Create a Successful Private Practice Faster (Without Burning Out) Description: In this episode, I share the real way to create a successful private practice faster—by mastering one thing at a time instead of layering on tasks that don't move the needle. If you're a counsellor, psychologist, social worker, or play therapist who feels overwhelmed by “do-all-the-things” advice, this episode will help you find clarity and direction so you can fill your diary sooner. You'll hear about the stages every therapist goes through (from uninformed optimism to informed pessimism), why your website is often the missing link, and how to tell if your funnel is broken at the top, middle, or bottom.

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife Redefining Aging with Wellness" the podcast where we discuss how to live an extraordinary life in every aspect. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, we dive into three everyday foods that have a healthy reputation but are quietly sabotaging your energy, your gut, and even your long-term wellness with hidden toxins and harmful additives. These are foods we've all trusted, served to our families, and reached for thinking we were making smart choices, but the truth is, they're working against our health in ways most of us never saw coming. If you're curious about what's really in your food and how small swaps can make a big difference, this episode might be for you.Key Highlights:Why microwaved popcorn may be one of the most toxic “snacks” you can eatWhy something as simple as popcorn changes dramatically depending on how you make it.Meat glue as second toxic food people are eating.The hidden ingredient in deli meats and ground beef that most people don't even know exists.How flavored Greek yogurt went from health food to sugar bombWhy marketing often makes “healthy” look convincing—but misleadingKey Takeaways:"Meat glue is all the parts of the cow, including the bones that we don't use typically. They grind them up, bleach them... create a sticky stuff... and then they just mix it in with the meats." -Dr. Heidi“Raise your awareness of marketing, of what we're being fed out there, of you being able to make better choices for yourself." -Kellie LupshaFREE GIFT
Episode SummaryIn this inspiring episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex VanHouten sits down with Casey Ruff—longtime trainer, host of Boundless Body Radio, and outspoken advocate for low-carb, keto, and carnivore nutrition.From his early days in the corporate gym world to building his own business during the chaos of 2020, Casey shares how a crisis pushed him to rethink health, career, and the way he serves clients. Casey opens up about his journey into ketogenic and carnivore eating, the science and case studies that convinced him, and the surprising mental health benefits—what he calls “carnivore zen.”Together, Alex and Casey explore the deep connection between faith, discipline, and stewardship of the body, even when their traditions differ. This conversation goes beyond macros and reps. They discuss the “noob phase” of fitness, how to navigate the indoctrination of nutrition dogma, and the spiritual nature of helping others reclaim health.From client success stories to reflections on resilience, this episode challenges you to consider not just what you eat or how you train—but why. Whether you're curious about carnivore, looking for encouragement on your own health journey, or seeking to connect your physical stewardship with a deeper purpose, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Main Discussion Themes:-The origin story of Boundless Body Radio and building a business during --COVID-19-Casey's transition into keto and carnivore nutrition—and why it stuck-The “carnivore zen” effect and the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry-Why nutrition can feel like a belief system—and how to keep it client-focused-The parallels between starting a podcast and starting a fitness journey-The spiritual and relational depth of personal training and coaching-Faith as a driver for perseverance and purposeful healthTimestamped Outline00:00 – Lighthearted opening, podcast swap banter01:18 – Episode trajectory and topics preview03:07 – Casey's background and the launch of Boundless Body Radio05:39 – Leaving the corporate gym world during COVID07:46 – Starting a business and committing to consistent podcasting10:05 – The learning curve of podcasting and parallels to fitness growth17:03 – Casey's “noob phase” in keto and carnivore nutrition20:57 – Discovering ketosis, client transformations, and mental health benefits23:23 – First carnivore experiment and experiencing “carnivore zen”25:42 – Metabolic psychiatry and reversing severe mental disorders27:04 – Nutrition as “indoctrination” and why belief systems form around diet31:36 – Human omnivory, nutrient density, and plant compound considerations36:11 – The long-term proof of a nutritional approach (“you will know them by their fruits”)38:34 – The real driver behind client coaching—agency and transformation43:08 – Removing the body as an obstacle to living fully45:09 – Spiritual depth in Casey's work and ritual in coaching49:18 – Why AI won't replace personal coaching50:48 – Guest resources and connecting with Casey52:55 – Casey's reflections on the Christian faith55:19 – Closing encouragement and prayerIf this resonated, you should:-Subscribe to the Faithful Fitness Podcast on your favorite platform-Check out the Faithful Fitness Devotional for deeper integration of faith and health – https://betterdaily.live/devo-Join the Better Daily community app for coaching, resources, and accountability – https://betterdaily.live/inviteruFeatured Guest Resources:-Website: myboundlessbody.com-Boundless Body Radio Podcast: Available on all major platforms-Free nutrition seminar resources: Available via the Boundless Body website-Complimentary 30-minute consultation: Book directly through the “Book Now” button on websiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-by-better-daily--5150768/support.
I'm so in love with fall. Let's FALL in love with ourselves this autumn (I know that was so corny). This episode, I want us to talk about embracing ourselves so we can escape the people pleasing trap. Those of us with people pleaser personalities may forgo our own wants and needs in order to accomodate others. We're looking for validation, for acceptance, for that stamp of approval. But when you love yourself, like REALLY love yourself, that pressure to be liked can start to fade.–Please rate, review, and share the show with your friends!Follow the show on Instagram @SituationshitPodFollow me @SoireesInTherapyIf you want to work with me, visit SoireesInTherapy.com/Book-Now to book a free 15 minute consultation.Tired of situationships?

In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast Hunter Donia and cohost Jodie Brown unpack the psychology that makes a seventy‑five dollar Labubu doll sold‑out Addison Rae tickets and a last minute Yosemite campsite feel worth every penny, then translate those same forces into booking and pricing strategies behind the chair.From limited booking windows that nudge indecisive clients to click “Book Now,” to the hidden cost of broadcasting every open slot, Hunter shares quick tweaks that turn FOMO into fully booked. You will also hear how one mastermind stylist fields fifty new‑client requests a month without burning out and get Hunter's exact script for locking down appointments today, pulled straight from his newest training.Key TakeawaysEvent‑based urgency: replace “anytime works” with time boxed drops like presales booking windows or targeted email blasts to push action nowSelective availability posts: share openings only with existing clients and spotlight three headline slots rather than the whole calendar to keep demand highDeadlines that convert: the simple “I will hold it until 5 p.m.” request that moves a DM chat to a confirmed appointmentWaitlists and cancellation texts: build a pathway for new clients while protecting income and boundariesDetach worth from calendar status: your value is not tied to being booked solid, it is about framing your offer to align with human buying biasWhy You Should ListenIf you have ever watched a fresh opening sit unclaimed or wondered how some stylists stay packed without nonstop marketing this episode delivers the consumer‑behavior playbook. Learn to introduce just enough scarcity set clear deadlines and turn each loyal guest into a magnet for future demand, all while keeping your schedule and sanity intact.Let's connect on Instagram!Join us on the Modern Hairstylist Tour!
