This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, rips out his lawn for an exciting conversation with Becca Trueman, a local advocate for native plants who is engaged with Kentucky Watershed Watch and Wild Ones Louisville. She serves on the board of the Kentucky Conservation Committee and is a former supervisor for the Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District. She was a presenter at the October 17, 2025 Ohio River Confluence on the topic of “Planting for Change: Native Plants as a Catalyst for Restoration, Community, and Advocacy” (you can see her slides at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1reRX3EWIgie2k0AXBueCj3JbhUEQSRoJ/view?usp=sharing). Listen in as we discuss how native plants help connect people, nature, and community. Cultivating native plants is an easy way to make a difference at home and small gardens and local efforts inspire learning and connection. We dive into the role that programs and partnerships play in making it easier for people to get involved; how community, education, policy, and business all work together; and why supportive city and county rules matter for native landscapes. But we also dive into larger scale change such as how restoration and native plants can grow local economies; how small efforts add up to massive collective impact; and how the same ideas that guide big restoration projects also work in our own backyards.

A few years ago, industry and political leaders embraced hydrogen as a solution to a laundry list of hard-to-abate decarbonization challenges — steel production, ammonia production, and more. But hydrogen failed to come down in costs and policymakers pulled back support. Ultimately, the bubble burst.  So what does it take to drive down the costs of low-carbon hydrogen and rebuild momentum? In this episode, Shayle talks to Raffi Garabedian, co-founder and CEO of Electric Hydrogen. (Shayle is on the board of Electric Hydrogen and Energy Impact Partners, where Shayle is a partner, invests in the company). Shayle and Raffi cover topics like: Why the hype bubble burst: political pullback, high renewables costs driven by AI demand, and high CapEx  The real cost problem: Why engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) costs have remained persistently high Competing approaches: Why Electric Hydrogen chose supersized electrolyzers over modular units The China question: Why hydrogen's EPC costs will limit the impact of cheap Chinese electrolyzers Real numbers: Realistic cost targets for fossil parity and Electric Hydrogen's current pricing Where hydrogen wins: Markets where Raffi says green hydrogen can achieve fossil parity by the early 2030s, including Brazilian fertilizer Resources: Latitude Media: is 45v guidance killing green hydrogen production? The Green Blueprint: Electric Hydrogen's bet on supersized electrolyzers Latitude Media: Electric Hydrogen is building through the market downturn   Latitude Media: Hydrogen's narrow pathway to positive climate impacts   Latitude Media: Why the Electric Hydrogen-Ambient merger is a sign of things to come Fill out our short podcast listener survey for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card.

2025 is winding down!! Let's make the most of it. In this episode, I'm diving into the energy of this moment in the year — that space where the seasons shift, the calendar turns, and something inside of us wakes up. Whether you're the kind of person who creates a whole fresh-start list every January, or someone who simply feels the natural closing of a chapter and the opening of a new one… this episode is your activation. I'm talking about what it really means to step into your next level with intention, alignment, and actual forward motion.

The second 2025 festival dispatch of the Catalyst and Witness podcast, devoted to exploring the films and format of the New York Film Festival, hosted by Ryan Swen. This covers the last week of the 2025 New York Film Festival, and features guest Kenji Fujishima.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this 'hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. On today's episode we begin with Daylen Motamed who sits down with Amalia Serrano to discuss the world of graphic design. Amalia starts the interview with her lifelong love of creating art, and how she chose graphic design as her career path.  Their conversation touches on topics that are relevant to creatives working in CCI such as how to handle rejection, navigating creative freedom, strategies for dealing with art fatigue and something that is particularly relevant in today's world, conquering AI fear. This candid and inspiring conversation invites listeners to reflect on their own relationship with creativity and change. The episode concludes with Vendela Smedeby and her interview with photographer Jena Hess. To begin Jena shares how her passion began at a young age, growing up surrounded by cameras and fascinated by capturing the world around her. They discuss how A spontaneous opportunity to work alongside professional photographers inspired her to turn photography into a career, and how she now runs a thriving personal business that allows her to offer clients the same meaningful, personal experience she once had. The pair also cover how Jena's creative style has evolved, leaning toward authenticity and cinematic storytelling. She and Vendela discuss the pressures of sustaining creativity, the reality of burnout, and the ongoing process of growth that all artists experience.

LIFE AND HOW TO LIVE IT This memoir traces a boy growing up in 1980s Philadelphia as he navigates gangs, addiction, fractured faith, and a home life wired with chaos, finding his only lifeline in the music that gives him a sense of self. It's a raw, darkly funny look at survival, identity, and the stubborn hope that rises even when you're raised in the wreckage. Learn More WHEN THE LIGHT IS MINE A poetry collection that cuts through the noise with sharp, confessional poems about capitalism, faith, identity, depression, and the messy business of surviving yourself. It moves from raw disillusionment to moments of real tenderness, offering an unfiltered look at modern life that challenges, unsettles, and still manages to land on hope. Learn More TOPICS OF CONVERSATION About the Book and the Inspiration Behind It Growing Up in Kensington and the Lasting Impact of Poverty and Violence The Influence of a Deeply Religious Upbringing and Conflicting Family Dynamics Music as an Emotional Lifeline and Catalyst for Self-Discovery Navigating Identity and Personal Beliefs Amid a Restrictive Environment Developing an Authentic Writing Voice and the Decision to Tell His Story Without Filters Themes of Resilience and What He Hopes Readers Take Away The Role of Poetry as Creative Expression and Expansion of His Storytelling ABOUT THE AUTHOR Chaz Holesworth writes from the gritty edge of lived experience. Raised in Philadelphia by a father struggling with heroin addiction and a mother bound to extreme fundamentalist Christianity, he grew up in a world defined by poverty, trauma, and contradiction. Out of that turbulence emerged a voice that is both unflinching and lyrical, capturing the weight of survival, the failures of society, and the fragile hope that persists despite it all. Over the past twenty-five years, Chaz has been sculpting those experiences into stories and poems. His memoir offers a brutally honest account of his past, while his poetry collection distills decades of struggle and reflection into themes of love, depression and loneliness, religion, and the fault lines buried beneath our society. Chaz strives to both trace the contours of intimacy and confront the politics of power, inviting readers into a deeply personal yet universally resonant search for meaning. Now living in the suburbs of Philadelphia with his wife and their beloved dog, Chaz continues to write with the urgency of someone who knows the cost of silence. His work speaks to anyone drawn to poetry and memoirs that dwell on deeper things, offering not just snapshots of a difficult life but the possibility of connection, understanding, and light.

Every night, IT professionals across the country go home and cry. They work until 10PM unpaid. They become "the guy" their entire organization depends on. They stay in toxic jobs because they feel guilty, or because people are counting on them, or because they simply can't imagine leaving.In this episode of The Catalyst by Softchoice, we follow two IT professionals through their burnout journeys. Sean stayed at a behavioral health nonprofit for years, supporting 1500 users with just two techs and management that thought IT "just helps people log in." He rebuilt the entire infrastructure while crying himself to sleep at night, driven by mission and what clinical psychologist Dr. Rick Ginsberg calls "responsibility handcuffs."John worked at a Manhattan company where he felt so grateful for his salary that he stayed through years of abuse and lies. He'd sit at his desk until 9 or 10PM—not because of emergencies, but because he had no energy left to stand up.One stayed and rebuilt his broken department into a world-class operation. The other escaped to his dream job doing Linux work. Both had to heal from trauma. And according to Business Insider, 57% of IT workers report the same burnout they experienced.Through their stories and expert analysis from Dr. Rick Ginsberg, we explore why burnout has become epidemic in IT, what the warning signs are, and—most importantly—what can actually be done about it.Key Takeaways:Why IT professionals are particularly vulnerable to "responsibility handcuffs"The difference between staying to rebuild and knowing when to leaveHow gratitude can become a trap that keeps you in toxic environmentsWhat managers need to do differently to prevent team burnoutWhy 76% of IT workers say job stress is getting worse every year------------------------------------------------------This episode is brought to you by Softchoice Cloud Lifecycle Services Plus for Microsoft Azure.

Ravi Rajani is a master of impactful communication, storytelling, and leadership development. He is the author of Relationship Currency and helps professionals unlock their influence through the power of intentional storytelling. From theater and investment banking to keynote stages and coaching rooms, Ravi's journey is a testament to finding alignment and embracing authenticity. https://www.theravirajani.com/  "Charisma is an innate superpower we all possess, which allows others to feel significant in our presence." "Your daughters will marry your example. Your sons will follow it." "The more you do the inner work, the more the dream works." In this heart-led and insight-packed conversation, Ravi Rajani dives into storytelling, authenticity, and personal transformation. He explores how inner alignment fuels outward success, the power of leading with vulnerability, and how storytelling can be the catalyst for influence and connection. It's a masterclass in communication that truly resonates. 1. Parenthood Becoming a parent reshaped Ravi's perspective on leadership and legacy. Children reflect the examples we set—our integrity, actions, and mindset matter. Personal growth becomes urgent when others look to you as a model. 2. Masks, Authenticity, and Alignment We wear masks to protect ourselves, but they often block genuine connection. True growth happens when we embrace who we are, not who we pretend to be. Removing the mask can be the catalyst to meaningful relationships and self-leadership. 3. Redefining Charisma Charisma isn't about attention—it's about making others feel they matter. Ravi's ASI framework (Authenticity, Specificity, Impact) turns compliments into transformations. When people feel seen and heard, they unlock their own potential. 4. From Pain to Story to Influence Ravi guides listeners to turn personal challenges into powerful stories. His "Acorn Checklist" (Attention, Conflict, Outcome, Relevance, Narrative) helps craft stories that stick. Your story is a bridge—when shared well, it invites others to step into their own journey. 5. Technology and Human Connection AI can support growth, but it must not replace human reflection and depth. Fast results without inner work risk shallow success. Use tools like AI to make space for deep conversations, not avoid them.

Working parents rely on childcare infrastructure, and as working parent became an ever-larger proportion of the American workforce from the 1960s onward, the lack of accessible, affordable, quality childcare became a major political and cultural issue. In her dissertation research, Julia Fournier, PhD candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, traces the history of childcare in the United States from the late-1960s to the mid-1990s. Among Fournier's sources is the archive of Catalyst, Inc., an advocacy group promoting women's interest in the workplace, held in the Hagley Library. Her findings suggest that a confluence of public and private pressures has prevented the development of a coherent federal childcare policy, much less a universal childcare infrastructure. In support of her work, Fournier received finding from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library.

In this powerful new interview, astrologer and author Barbara Hand Clow returns to Just Tap In Podcast to decode the cosmic significance of the approaching 3I ATLAS comet and the extraordinary 2025–2027 energetic window it activates. Barbara explains how this fiery interstellar visitor interacts with Earth's magnetic field and why ancient civilizations described similar celestial arrivals as catalysts for collective awakening. She also unpacks the astrological transits around October 29, 2025, revealing how solar activity, plasma frequencies, and vibrational shifts are preparing humanity for a new phase of consciousness.✦ Learn more about The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-d...Throughout the conversation, Barbara references the recent work of Stefan Burns, whose insights on plasma consciousness and comet transmissions have sparked a new wave of curiosity around Earth's energetic evolution. Together with host Emilio Ortiz, they explore how cosmic cycles mirror our personal awakening, what this alignment means for spiritual seekers, and how to anchor higher frequencies through embodiment, presence, and love. Barbara Hand Clow is an internationally acclaimed astrologer, author, and teacher known for her groundbreaking work bridging ancient wisdom and modern consciousness. A leading voice in the fields of astrology, Pleiadian channeling, and Earth activation, Barbara has spent decades decoding humanity's evolutionary cycles through the lens of sacred science and multidimensional awareness.

In this deeply moving and perspective-shifting episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with John O'Leary, a bestselling author, motivational speaker, and burn survivor whose life is a testament to the power of resilience, hope, and radical love. At age nine, John suffered severe burns across 100% of his body. He wasn't supposed to live. But not only did he survive—he became one of the most impactful voices inspiring people to live fully, love deeply, and lead fearlessly.   John and I talk about what truly matters in life, the legacy we leave through small, consistent acts of presence, and how pain—when faced with faith and courage—can become the very tool that transforms us into the fathers and husbands we were meant to be. This isn't just an episode about overcoming—it's about becoming.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [0:00] – Introduction [1:45] – The moment that changed John's life forever [4:18] – How his parents showed up during trauma and why it shaped him [7:32] – The role of forgiveness in healing deep wounds [10:06] – Why pain isn't the enemy—but a bridge to deeper purpose [13:14] – John's perspective on legacy and the value of being there [17:05] – The power of small, consistent actions over grand gestures [21:38] – Loving your spouse through service and sacrifice [25:12] – Raising kids who are resilient, grateful, and grounded [28:59] – The single most powerful lesson John learned from his father [32:30] – A challenge for every dad listening: What are you really living for?     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   Pain Can Be a Catalyst, Not a Curse: John's story proves that life's most devastating moments can forge our deepest character and call us to higher purpose if we choose to face them with courage. Legacy Is Built in Presence, Not Perfection: His parents' unwavering presence—especially during trauma—taught him that how we show up in the hardest times says everything about who we are. Love Is Action, Not Just Intention: Whether it's in marriage or parenting, love must be expressed through service, sacrifice, and consistency—not just feelings or words. Our Kids Learn More from Observation Than Instruction: John learned resilience, discipline, and deep love not by being told what to do, but by watching how his parents lived during the toughest seasons. You Were Meant to Live Fully, Not Just Survive: Every dad has the opportunity—and responsibility—to stop sleepwalking through life and start leading intentionally with love, clarity, and vision.       LINKS & RESOURCES   Learn more about John O'Leary – https://johnolearyinspires.com 25 Questions to Spark Connection – https://thedadedge.com/25questions More Podcast Episodes – https://thedadedge.com/podcast The Dad Edge Boardroom Mastermind - thedadedge.com/mastermind Shownotes for this episode: thedadedge.com/1397     If this conversation sparked something in you, share it with a fellow dad who needs this message.

This CORNDOWN starts with me trying to report some accomplices to unwilling management, and whuppy uncovers a brown leather jacket man incident. Next I take a data dump or two and things get weird fast with loose files, Walmart bags, and papers being served back and forth like it's a courtroom. There's far too much milk, and far too few crackheads, with buccshot puffing away in the 420 zone while I look for a way out (so I can find a way back in). Catalyst shows up with freezer food and bedbug problems, whuppy gets a drive-thru dog involved, and it all ends with mysterious pictures and one last messy data dump that doesn't make anything better.

A big problem with using artificial intelligence to discover new materials? It struggles to predict beyond its training data. That means AI might be better at optimizing known materials than discovering entirely new ones — like a room temperature superconductor or carbon-capture sorbents.  But since we last covered the topic in September 2024, a few things have changed. OpenAI released its powerful O1 reasoning model. Large language models have also gotten better at math, physics, and coding. And lab automation — robots mixing liquids and powders, running characterization tests — has improved, allowing for a higher volume of experiments.  So, can these improvements overcome AI's training data problem? In this episode, Shayle talks to Ekin Dogus Cubuk, cofounder of Periodic Labs, which raised $300 million seed round in September. Last year, Dogus took a more cautious view on using AI for materials discovery. Now though, he's convinced there's a clearer path forward for physical science research and development, especially materials discovery. Shayle and Dogus cover topics like: Creating experimental and synthetic data to overcome AI's limitations of predicting beyond its training set Why we should focus on breakthrough discoveries over easier, incremental wins The different roles humans and AI play in the discovery process Period's focus on automated experimental labs using AI-generated hypotheses Resources: Catalyst: Can AI revolutionize materials discovery?   Latitude Media: This ‘superintelligence platform' just raised $200m in seed funding   Latitude Media: Can AI get us closer to fusion?   The New York Times: Top A.I.

In this personal and reflective birthday episode, I'm sharing what this past year has truly been for me — the hard, the awesome, and everything in between. This year stretched me to my edges. I found myself in deep suffering, overwhelmed, overstimulated, and at times disconnected from my joy. It was a season of endings, uncertainty, and profound inner change — what I now recognize as a dark night of the soul. And yet, within all of that, something beautiful happened. I realized that if I'm going to choose to be here anyway — I have to live while I'm alive. I have to lighten up, focus on the light, and allow joy to return to the center. This episode is about that awakening. About remembering that the point isn't to fix or perfect ourselves — it's to live. To love ourselves through the growth. To see how far we've actually come. You'll hear about how this past year has been a full death-and-rebirth cycle for me — closing On The Path, preparing for my book, hosting retreats, taking on more one-on-one clients, and stepping even more deeply into my calling. It's the end of one chapter and the beginning of something new — a reminder that every ending holds the seed of what's next. ✨ Reflection Questions: What have I walked through this past year that has made me stronger, softer, or wiser? What am I ready to release, forgive, or finally put down as I move into this next chapter? What do I want to turn up in my life — joy, creativity, confidence, self-trust, presence? How can I live while I'm alive, right here, right now — not waiting for the next milestone? What light am I ready to share more boldly with the world?   Next Steps ✈️ 2026 Retreat Waitlist - Stay on the inside with the dates, location and waitlist only pricing!

The Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed skeptical of President Donald Trump's authority to impose sweeping tariffs in a series of executive orders earlier this year. A majority of the justices appeared to agree with the small businesses and states challenging the tariffs that they exceeded the powers given to the president under a federal law providing him the authority to regulate commerce during national emergencies created by foreign threats.  ~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!00:00 intro00:08 Sponsor: Tangem00:30 Supreme Court v.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this 'hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. Anna DiPasquale begins the podcast this week with her interview of Colleen Piechota, the Director of Human Resources at VEA Newport Beach, a stunning Marriott International resort and spa located right on the coast. Colleen shares her remarkable journey into the hospitality industry, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how she worked her way up to a leadership role in HR. Together, they discuss what a day in the life of an HR Director looks like—from shaping workplace culture and overseeing employee relations to handling training, hiring, and compliance in an ever-evolving industry. Colleen reflects on the skills and mindset needed to build strong, supportive teams and shares thoughtful insights on how the role of HR continues to evolve in today's business landscape. They conclude the episode with Colleen's take on the most underrated skills in HR and what truly defines great leadership. In the second segment Lily Bradbury sits down with John Bradbury, Managing Director of Global Issues and Crisis Management at Ketchum Inc. in New York City, a PR & Marketing Communications Consulting firm. Together, they dive into John's extensive experience in strategic communications and public relations, exploring how he helps corporate clients protect and enhance their reputations in high-pressure situations. John discusses the analytical and creative sides of crisis management, emphasizing how tailored communication strategies can engage diverse audiences while maintaining trust and transparency. John also reflects on his academic journey, beginning with his political science background, which gave him a strong foundation in stakeholder engagement and professional dialogue. He explains the differences between working with corporations versus individuals, highlighting his preference for the objectivity and collaboration found in corporate partnerships. Throughout the conversation, John offers valuable advice for students interested in communications and PR—stressing the importance of networking, internships, and the human connections that lie at the heart of the industry.

There has been a lot of attention on the origins and rise of the ideas underlying neoliberalism. But too often, these idea-centered accounts obscure the real class dynamics that drive political change. On this episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek explains how neoliberal ideas overtook post-war Keynesianism and why those ideas took hold — not because of their appeal but because of the balance of class forces.

In this episode ofKP Unpacked, the #1 podcast in AEC, KP Reddy and Nick pull back the curtain on why handovers break, why owners get stuck with the bill, and how to design for decades instead of deadlines. From BIM's broken promise to the CapEx vs OpEx split, this is a hard reset on how AEC should finish work.Highlights1) Documentation and dataBIM vs reality: digital models did not eliminate banker boxes or fragmented handoversDocumentation as asset value: warranties, submittals, service records as the true owner's manualModern handover standard: digitize everything, make it queryable, and keep data portable across owners2) Incentives and ownership structureCapEx vs OpEx: split mindset drives short-term choices that hurt operationsIncentives and warranties: tie first five years of maintenance to designers and contractorsDesign–Build–Operate: operating accountability changes what gets built3) Operations and economicsMaintenance economics: lifecycle costs can exceed build costs and should change design choicesManufacturers and feedback loops: lost warranty visibility and how direct data ties prevent waste4) Process and workflowsDecentralized workflows: hundreds of contributors, no single system, and why forcing one platform fails at closeout5) Owner playbookSet closeout requirements early, enforce data standards in contracts, and involve operations from day one.This is exactly why we launched the Owner Training Series to help owners and owner reps fix what breaks between design, build, and handover. Learn how to manage risk, enforce better closeouts, and align your teams for long-term success.2nd Webinar is on Nov 20th.Enroll now and get the replay of first one → https://kpreddy.co/owner-training-seriesAEC leaders, operators, and innovators, this one matters.

Brixton Metals (TSX-V: BBB) has announced a significant copper-gold porphyry discovery at the Catalyst target within its Thorn Project in northwestern British Columbia. Chair and CEO Gary Thompson discussed the breakthrough with Mining Stock Daily. The first-ever drill holes at Catalyst intersected broad zones of copper-gold mineralization from surface, including hole THN25-343, which returned 424 metres of 0.30% CuEq, with higher-grade intervals of 98.5 metres at 0.50% CuEq and 16.5 metres at 1.05% CuEq. Thompson said the mineralization from surface, coupled with a large geochemical and geophysical footprint and Maricunga-style veins, points to “a fertile multi-phase porphyry system at Catalyst.”The company believes the new discovery underscores the potential of the emerging 8–10 kilometre Camp Creek Corridor. Brixton plans additional drilling next season to test the full extent of mineralization at Catalyst and nearby targets. Thompson also provided an update on the Trapper gold target, where earlier this month Brixton intersected 22.15 metres of 4.44 g/t gold, including 1.50 metres of 57.20 g/t gold.

Last Thursday, Energy Secretary Chris Wright directed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to consider rulemaking to fast-track interconnection for large loads — as long as they agree to be curtailable or colocate with dispatchable generation. So what does this proposal actually mean for interconnection?  In this episode, Shayle talks with Allison Clements, former FERC commissioner and current partner with digital infrastructure advisory firm ASG. Allison is also principal of 804 Advisory. Shayle also talks with Tyler Norris, doctoral student at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. Allison, Tyler, and Shayle cover topics like: How the proposal would standardize interconnection procedures for certain large loads, with study periods no longer than 60 days  The jurisdictional shift: asserting federal authority over a process traditionally under state purview   The types of eligible loads, including traditional data centers as well as ones that colocate with generation, also known as “hybrid facilities” The duration of flexibility and whether 2-hour, 4-hour, or longer durations are needed for curtailment Whether flexibility resources should be behind-the-meter or front-of-meter The potential disadvantages for bring-your-own-supply or bring-your-own-VPP Resources: Latitude Media: Wright directs FERC to fast track large load interconnection   Latitude Media: How the world's first flexible AI factory will work in tandem with the grid   Latitude Media: OpenAI pushes the White House to invest in the grid to compete with China   E3: Demand Response as a Capacity Resource in SPP's Era of Data Center Growth  Canary Media: In a first, a data center is using a big battery to get online faster  Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

True clarity doesn't always feel easy. It doesn't always arrive tied up with a bow. Sometimes it's the current that pulls you forward — momentum that moves through your body before your mind can catch up. And sometimes it's the clean, sharp edge that cuts away everything that's no longer aligned. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what clarity has been asking of me lately — from stepping back to listen, to making hard, necessary decisions that changed the trajectory of my business. This is the heart of The Conscious Business Edge — a three-part private podcast series for high-level women who are ready to lead from deeper consciousness, clearer power, and simple, intentional strategy. Launching next week.
