In this episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings), chats with Lisa Amato, energy healer, reiki practitioner, and wounded healer of the highest order. Why the wounded healer part? Well, Rachel and Lisa both have a history of early childhood trauma, and this episode they dig into the hairy details-- but also focus on the redemptive power of transmuting said wound into its corresponding "medicine", both for the self and for others.Lisa is a hilarious, no nonsense ball-buster of a reiki practitioner, bringing the grounded presence so often lacking in the "airy fairy", "love and light", "crystal hippy lady" set. Said another way? She can actually hold the requisite space required to undertake the real deal energy healing work for those that have suffered trauma in their lives. Not all wounds can be seen. Many of them lie in our energy bodies. And, for those of us lucky enough to have found our own healers and teachers that enabled us to step into this work for others, Lisa's story will resonate like hell.Please note: TOTEM is running a Review Raffle through 6/26/25, so if you feel compelled to review The Skeptical Shaman podcast, TOTEM Readings, TOTEM Flower Essences, or either of the TOTEM Decks (links below), email her a screenshot to enter to win one of three Grand Prizes: rachel@totemreadings.com.

In this episode I talk with Sophie Jane Hardy, writer, podcast host and business coach inspired by nature's seasons and cycles. Sophie shares a bit about her journey to becoming a mum after years of fertility treatments and postpartum emotional turbulence. She talks about a shift in identity in her early 40s, her personal decolonisation process, and the profound wisdom she has gained from cyclical living. Our discussion emphasizes the significance of honest storytelling and the importance of creating safe spaces for women to share their truths. Furthermore, we explore how these narratives can foster connection and resilience in the face of societal pressures and personal struggles.This felt like having a coffee date with Sophie and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.Connect with Sophie on IG: sophie.jane.hardyJoin the Brave + Beautiful Community Summer Session: Join the Brave + Beautiful Community For Midlife Women | A Life In Progress The Life Visioning Course (free for B+B members who join for a full year): The Life Visioning Course (reg $790): $490 | A Life In ProgressBook a free Zoom chat with Krista to decide if the B+B Community is a great fit for you in this season: Calendly

“Sometimes people have trouble getting to sleep because they're thinking about all the things that happen during the day. So it's about finding techniques to help you let go of those, the things that are bothering you so that you can get a good night's sleep.” Sleep issues aren't just nighttime problems—they often stem from daytime habits. Sugar, alcohol, stress, cluttered bedrooms, and poor circadian rhythm management can all disrupt rest. True sleep hygiene means looking at the whole lifestyle, not just bedtime rituals. Sharon Fillmore shares how her nursing background and personal sleep struggles led her to help shift workers, healthcare professionals, and high-stress individuals get lasting sleep solutions. From pain and hormone shifts to screen use and pillow choice, her tailored strategies restore energy and well-being.

In de nieuwste aflevering van de Dynamic 7 schuift Mascha van Wermeskerken aan bij TandartsPodcast-host Ron Steenkist Samen duiken zij in het 'praktijkwiel', met de 7 spaken, om praktijkhouders te helpen om praktijkgeluk te creëren. Praktijkgeluk. Praktijkgeluk draait om het creëren van de hoogste waarde op drie niveaus. Voor je patiënten: tevreden en vertrouwen. Voor je team: werkgeluk, flow en ontwikkeling. Voor jouw als praktijkhouder: plezier, balans en zingeving. Deze drie punten vormen een driehoek, met de praktijkhouder als stabiele kapitein in het midden. De andere zes elementen die deze driehoek ondersteunen zijn: Visie. Begin bij het ‘waarom'. Denk groots: waar staat je praktijk over 10 jaar? Vertaal dit naar concrete doelen en deel je visie helder met je team. Je visie is de ruggengraat van je strategie. Focus houden. Gebruik kwartaal plannen en vertaal die naar wekelijkse acties. Laat je niet afleiden door ‘issues' of ‘wishes'. Team. Zorg voor de juiste mensen op de juiste plek. Laat kernwaarden het fundament zijn en blijf in gesprek: waar wordt iemand écht gelukkig van? Alleen zo bouw je aan duurzame verbinding en motivatie Resultaat. Zonder meting geen sturing. Kies een paar heldere KPI's (max 3) en bespreek die wekelijks. Denk aan aantal inschrijvingen, nieuwe patiënten of gerealiseerde omzet. Vier ook je successen! Gestroomlijnd werken met focus op kwaliteit. Gebruik systemen die rust brengen, zoals een goede telefonie-oplossing of digitale werkprocessen. Minder gedoe betekent meer kwaliteit én werkplezier. Leren en ontwikkelen. Stilstaan is achteruitgaan. Creëer een veilige cultuur waarin fouten en feedback bespreekbaar zijn. Pas de PDCA-cyclus, Plan, Do, Check, Act toe en streef elke dag naar 1% verbetering. Wanneer alle delen op elkaar zijn afgestemd, ontstaat een praktijk die werkt — voor iedereen met veel praktijkgeluk. Wil je meer van dit soort inzichten en praktische tips? Meld je aan voor de nieuwsbrief op www.tandartsbusinessmentor.nl ----------------------- Ik ben Ron Steenkist. In de inspirerende wereld van de tandheelkunde ben ik tandarts en bovenal Tandarts Business Mentor. Als Mentor koester ik de diepe overtuiging dat elke tandarts in staat is om een succesvolle praktijk op te bouwen. Een praktijk met een solide winst en een praktijk die zich naadloos aanpast aan jouw levensstijl en omgeving, in plaats van andersom.

What makes work meaningful, and how can leaders create that experience for their teams? Kevin is joined by Wes Adams and Tamara Myles, who state that their research shows nearly 50% of an employee's experience of meaning at work is tied to what their leaders do or fail to do. Meaningful work is the upstream factor that drives engagement, productivity, innovation, and the bottom-line results that organizations want. The conversation centers around the Three C's of Meaningful Work: Community – Creating authentic connections and a sense of belonging among team members, even in remote or hybrid work environments. Contribution – Helping employees see the impact of their work and making clear connections between daily tasks and larger organizational goals. Challenge – Supporting team members as they grow, learn, and take on meaningful tasks, balancing stretch assignments with strong support.

What up, Beasts! This episode is a special one. I got to sit down with my first couple guests, Brian and Erica McKay, and let me tell you, they brought the realness. We went deep into what it means to do relationship work from the inside out because these two didn't just read the books and slap a coaching title on their IG bios. Nope. They lived it. From divorces and betrayal to repeating old patterns and nearly calling it quits, they laid it all out. But what got me was how they didn't just look outward for answers. They turned inward, did the messy trial and error work, and created a relationship roadmap they now use to help other couples thrive.We talked about fighting the problem instead of each other, why your communication skills might be the real relationship MVP, and how everything from your blood sugar to your sleep habits can either fuel your love life or slowly torch it. Erica and Brian's approach to couple to couple coaching is one I'd never heard before, and now I can't stop thinking about how brilliant it is. If you've ever found yourself thinking “we love each other, but we can't seem to make it work,” this convo is the permission slip and playbook you didn't know you needed.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Brian and Erica McKay are Gottman Certified Relationship Coaches and co-founders of BE Connected Relationship Coaching.With over a decade of marriage and years of coaching experience, they created the CONNECTED METHOD™—a proven framework that helps couples break the cycle of conflict and rediscover true intimacy. Their unique 2-on-2 coaching model has helped hundreds of couples communicate better, rebuild trust, and create deeply connected relationships.Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Mentions:Blog article about Sleep: https://beautifulbeastwithinstudios.com/post/sleep-the-ultimate-glow-up-potion-youve-been-snoozing-onConnect with Brian and Erica!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beconnectedrelationships/Calendly: to schedule a complimentary couples relationship strategy session: https://calendly.com/beconnectedrelationshipcoaching/relationship-strategy-sessionFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/beconnectedrelationshipcoaching?mibextid=wwXIfrWhere can you find me?Linktree: https://linktr.ee/beautifulbeastwithinstudiosTired of battling your body?

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Georgiana ‘Gia’ Laudi, a strategic advisor, keynote speaker, and co-founder of Forget The Funnel, a consultancy focused on helping B2B SaaS companies drive predictable, recurring revenue through a truly customer-led approach. In this episode, Gia and I will explore why so many companies get stuck throwing “spaghetti at the wall,” instead of researching who their best customers really are. We’ll look at the common pitfalls teams face when relying solely on funnel-based thinking—plus the steps any organization can take to cultivate a thriving, customer-centric culture. Gia will also share highlights from the remarkable work she’s done with various SaaS brands, as well as tips you can put into practice right away. KEY TAKEAWAYS Two years after drafting up a customer experience map for our company, through the lens of the customer, we grew revenue by 900%. We’d aligned the team and the company, and it facilitated more streamlined conversation, more alignment, more understanding cross-departmentally making things much easier. It gave us a tool and a shared language for operationalising around customer experience. A big reason for forgetting the funnel and leveraging a more customer-led approach is through the lens of recurring revenue businesses. Even if you don’t have a recurring revenue business model most businesses agree that customer retention, expanding existing accounts vs finding new customers contains a lot of value. This serves all kinds of businesses very well. Customer research is often equated with long, drawn-out projects that are very costly and leave you with more questions than answers. There’s a lot of resistance when we use the term ‘customer research’, we tend to use the term ‘customer insights’. We use targeted, streamlined and intentional research via ‘jobs to be done’ which reveal meaningful patterns from as little as 10-12 people which can identify what leads people to seek your business out. Not all customers are created equally, you shouldn’t try to serve every customer, narrow your focus on who really, really cares about the problem that you solve, has a high willingness to pay, deeply understands the value in what you provide and would sing your praises from the mountain tops. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you orient your operations around the customer experience it becomes easy to make all kinds of decisions.’ ‘Existing customers are worth more and are less costly to us as a business vs finding new customers.’ ‘Your relationship with your customer does not end with the purchase, it begins with the purchase.’ ‘Early stage companies should focus on one customer and do a really good job, later stage companies shouldn’t conflate all customers into a homogenous group but think of segmentation in a meaningful way so you can still provide high-converting and resonating experiences even for multiple segments.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Georgiana (“Gia”) Laudi is a strategic advisor, keynote speaker, and co-founder of Forget The Funnel, a consultancy specializing in customer-led growth for B2B SaaS companies. With over 20 years of experience in marketing and product strategy, she’s helped high-growth businesses such as Unbounce, Calendly, and Sprout Social deepen customer insights, align teams around customer value, and drive predictable, recurring revenue. As co-author of the book “Forget The Funnel,” Gia advocates a practical, step-by-step approach to uncovering why the best customers buy—and how to ensure more of them succeed post-purchase. Based in Montreal, Gia is passionate about turning real customer needs into clear messaging, frictionless onboarding, and expansion strategies that empower businesses to scale sustainably. She joins Scouting for Growth to share her journey, discuss common growth pitfalls, and offer actionable tactics any organization can use to become truly customer-led.

Jeff Holman, founder of the law firm Intellectual Strategies, and his wife and operations lead, Brooke Holman, discuss their approach to running a fractional general counsel practice, primarily serving startups and scaling businesses. Jeff shares his background starting in Silicon Valley and moving to an in-house role before starting his own practice in 2018. The firm operates on various billing models, including flat fees, hourly rates, and retainers, but Jeff and Brooke are considering moving entirely away from hourly billing. They emphasize building the firm as a business, leveraging technology such as Monday.com, Calendly, Jotform, and various integrations to streamline operations and enhance client communication, allowing flexibility and scalability without compromising service quality. Brooke's role as an integrator complements Jeff's visionary approach, helping to set up and manage efficient systems from scratch.They explain their process for onboarding clients, utilizing a structured system to ensure clear communication and service delivery. They delve into the importance of aligning billing practices with client needs and expectations, suggesting that fixed fees and subscription models can foster better lawyer-client relationships compared to traditional hourly billing. Jeff and Brooke highlight their innovative use of technology and automation to maintain a lean operation, which allows them to offer their legal services at competitive prices while ensuring client satisfaction. They are also involved in building a community around the fractional general counsel space, indicating their commitment to both their clients and peers in reshaping the legal industry.__________________________Learn about Intellectual Strategies.Check out my other show, the Law for Kids Podcast.Get Connected with SixFifty, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for Gavel, an automation platform for law firms.Visit Law Subscribed to subscribe to the Substack newsletter to get notified about every episode, listen from your web browser, and for additional content.Follow @lawsubscribed everywhere.Sign up for the Subscription Seminar waitlist at subscriptionseminar.com.Check out Mathew Kerbis' law firm Subscription Attorney LLC.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Sandhya Seshadri is the founder of Engineered Capital, a firm focused on helping professionals grow their wealth through commercial real estate and alternative investments. With a background in engineering, an MBA in finance, and a successful career in stock trading, she became financially independent before shifting her focus to real estate. Since 2018, Sandhya has been an active multifamily syndicator and passive investor in multiple asset classes including oil & gas and tech funds, bringing her analytical skill set and passion for tax-efficient investing to her growing investor community. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Sandhya began investing in stocks but transitioned to real estate for better tax advantages and cash flow. She started as a passive investor in multifamily before becoming an active general partner. Rising interest rates reshaped her strategy, leading her to explore oil & gas and technology funds. Passive investing offers the ability to leverage other people's expertise while generating income and appreciation. Asset class diversification and risk tolerance should drive investment decisions, not just projected returns. Topics From Engineering to Investing Started in corporate America but pursued investing to achieve financial independence. Learned to trade stocks and used that income to replace her W-2 job. Discovered real estate as a tax-advantaged strategy after hitting a tax ceiling with stock gains. Why Multifamily and Syndications Skipped single-family due to lack of appreciation and headaches from managing tenants and maintenance. Multifamily appealed due to professional property management, scalability, and the ability to raise capital from investors. Took the “passenger to pilot” approach—starting as an LP, then a co-GP, and finally a lead GP. Shifting the Strategy: From CRE to Alternatives Rising interest rates, property taxes, and insurance costs eroded multifamily cash flow. Pivoted to alternative investments that better suited current market conditions. Launched tech fund offerings for high-upside, long-term appreciation plays. Invested in oil & gas deals offering strong tax advantages and predictable cash flow backed by mineral rights. Carefully vets all deals personally before introducing them to investors. Oil & Gas Investing Explained Buys into mineral rights after oil is confirmed, reducing drilling risk. Returns often include 80% year-one depreciation via K-1 and cash flow within 24 months. No depreciation recapture and potential for 2.5–3x returns over a 7-year period. Great option for high-income professionals seeking tax relief and diversification. Investor Education and Risk Management Every asset class has its risks—invest small first, understand the model, and scale gradually. Focus on understanding the operator, the assumptions behind returns, and aligning with your personal goals. Diversify across asset types, hold periods, and cash flow profiles.

In this week's Geek in Review, we sit down with Patrick Waldo, CEO of Unicorn Forms and proud Houstonian, to explore the intersections of data, document automation, and legal tech innovation. From the vibrant startup culture at Houston's ION and the Capital Factory's SXSW House event to the regulatory grind of form design, Waldo shares how his journey—from working in compliance-heavy industries to launching a playfully named but technically serious platform—is reshaping how we think about document-driven workflows.Waldo pulls back the curtain on Unicorn Forms' approach to digitizing and structuring data trapped in PDFs. With a background in regulatory intelligence, he understands firsthand how critical, yet painfully inefficient, static documents can be. Unicorn Forms aims to transform the “eight-and-a-half-by-eleven world” into structured, field-driven digital tools. By mimicking the look and feel of familiar e-sign interfaces while embedding structured fields and integrations like Calendly or Stripe, the platform bridges the gap between legal formality and technical interoperability.Security and compliance are at the heart of the conversation as Waldo outlines the different levels of electronic trust, explaining how Unicorn Forms distinguishes itself with hashed documents, timestamp authorities, and encryption standards that exceed many traditional e-signature solutions. He highlights how many professionals—especially in legal, healthcare, and finance—aren't aware of the risks they take when using non-secure PDFs for sensitive data like social security numbers or payment details.The episode also dives into the often-overlooked role of data ontologies in making government and enterprise forms interoperable. Waldo describes the complexity behind something as seemingly simple as a name or address field and how lack of standardization leads to inefficiencies and errors. By applying his years of ontology-building experience, Unicorn Forms aims to enable more intuitive, human-readable, and system-compatible data capture, with real-world use cases already in place—like improving film permitting processes for the Houston Film Commission.From a startup perspective, Waldo gets candid about fundraising challenges, the paradox of needing metrics to raise money and needing money to build metrics, and how early-stage companies must balance marketing, sales, and product development. He emphasizes the value of angel investors and local ecosystems like the ION and the Canon, while acknowledging the rising bar of investor expectations in today's post-2023 funding environment.Finally, Waldo shares his philosophy behind the Unicorn Forms brand—born as an April Fool's joke but grown into a conversation starter and signal for early adopters. With Party City swag, a pink logo, and a message that draws in the curious and the creative, Unicorn Forms is redefining legal tech not just through software, but through an intentional, approachable identity. As Waldo looks ahead, he sees opportunity in pairing strong data engineering with AI tools—not just to automate, but to make legal and regulatory processes smarter, faster, and more human-centered.Listen on mobile platforms: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube[Special Thanks to Legal Technology Hub for their sponsoring this episode.] Blue Sky: @geeklawblog.com @marlgebEmail: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: Jerry David DeCiccaTranscript

375 Practicing What You Preach It's important in life, whether you are running your own business or in your daily life, to practice what you preach. Not only do you avoid being seen as hypocritical but often the best person to give you advice is you. Consult with other coaches and counselors, ask the opinions of those you love and value, do whatever you need to in order to put yourself on the path to fulfillment and success. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Mike Trugman discuss practicing their own advice, as well as the importance of doing what you will say you will in order to put yourself in a better environment that will help you grow and thrive. Highlights How do you approach your own self learning and self development? What do you need to do more of to bring yourself more fulfillment? Are you in a place that lets you grow and thrive? Or do you need to find somewhere new to grow? Quotes “We think we're really sneaky, or really good at hiding these aspects of ourselves but there is no separate ‘I'm playful over here' ‘I'm not playful over here.' you are who you are.” “In some capacity we have helped people with public speaking, each of us.” “We've been conditioned for the most part in our society that to be successful you need to be relentlessly hard on yourself, and give up a lot of aspects of your life. And I love to work with people who are doing the courageous work of: What if I were really kind to myself? What could life look like if I was kinder and gentler to myself? And almost in a way, allowed my success to unfold, rather than something I need to grasp and control and attain. And if I lived that way, how would that make my personal relationships and the rest of my life better?” “You can have everything you want in your life and also feel good about yourself at the same time, and it doesn't have to be one or the other. Which is what I think a lot of us are taught and believe.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I would love for you to think about a time when something went sideways for you. I know we all have episodes that went a little sideways. But when was a time where things really went sideways for you and someone showed up to be your guide? It might've been in a negative way, it might've been somebody who did something so bad that you chose a different path in spite or to spite this person. But more than likely, you hit a point where things went so sideways that only somebody who loves you could help guide you out of that. Think about that moment, write it down, collect that story because as Mike said; it's not all about I did this and now I'm here, it's what obstacles did you overcome to get here? Because that's the story that inspires. And, as always, thank you for listening. About Mike Mike Trugman is a Professional Life and Career Coach who helps his clients move from fear to thriving with purpose, passion and fulfillment.

Before coaching and podcast hosting, Mike's background was in public accounting. He has over 10 years of public accounting experience, with a focus on financial services (hedge fund and private equity) clients.

About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Gain insights on how offering premium pricing options alongside accessible subscription plans can balance profitability with customer satisfaction. “Don't be afraid to experiment and to try something new. I experiment with my pricing to find what works. And so, you should experiment, too, and listen to Mark.” - Mathew Kerbis Topics Covered: 01:37 - How he was led into pricing 03:24 - Discussing the similarities between doctors transitioning to direct primary care (DPC) and lawyers adopting subscription-based pricing 05:05 - Explaining his flexible subscription model 08:48 - Sharing how instead of tracking time or focusing on cost accounting, he views his business costs as fixed expenses 11:03 - Optimizing efficiency and delivering value through his subscription model 14:04 - Arguing that while clients can access AI tools themselves, they can't match the expertise of a lawyer using them effectively 16:04 - Emphasizing that while AI can generate rapid insights, it requires human judgment to interpret results accurately 18:52 - What he meant when he said he drives prices down and discussing the unmet demand creating a significant opportunity despite price competition in the legal industry 21:53 - Targeting underserved clients while maintaining flexibility to serve both small businesses and larger clients 24:26 - Maintaining accessible pricing while using tiered subscription pricing to price higher 26:30 - Highlighting the importance of strategic pricing to remain competitive without risking client loss or revenue instability 27:30 - Mathew's best pricing advice Key Takeaways: "Ron Baker has educated me on how cost accounting isn't the way to think about what your actual costs are as a business owner." - Mathew Kerbis "What's great about a month-to-month subscription is, I could drop the client just like they could drop me. And the fact that they have the flexibility to leave at any time actually makes them not leave." - Mathew Kerbis “I still want to offer the accessible pricing, but I will have super premium pricing for the best customers that need it.” - Mathew Kerbis "I don't assign any dollar number to my time or the hours that I spend because things don't take as long as they used to. I was using AI when I launched my firm because I knew less time equals more money doing what I do when you're not billing by the hour." - Mathew Kerbis "Sure, you could use the legal AI tools that I'm using, but are you able to get the same output that a lawyer who is actually using the tool in the way in which it was designed can get better output?" - Mathew Kerbis "Judgment is really important. I don't think AI replaces subject matter experts, frankly ever." - Mathew Kerbis People/Resources Mentioned: Ron Baker: https://impactpricing.com/podcast/497-classic-trash-the-timesheet-exploring-opportunities-in-subscription-businesses-with-ronald-j-baker/ Calendly: https://calendly.com Adobe Photoshop: https://www.adobe.com/ ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com ClaudeAI: https://claude.ai Perplexity Pro: https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/faq/what-is-perplexity-proUber:https://www.uber.com Grandview Research: https://www.grandviewresearch.com Walmart: https://www.walmart.com Target: https://www.target.com Sam Walton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Walton Jeff Bezos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos Connect with Mathew Kerbis: Website: https://mathewkerbis.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerbisverse/ Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com
