For most leaders, uncertainty is like a storm you weather by cutting costs, delaying decisions, and basically waiting for calmer waters to return. But is it possible that this protective mindset is the very reason why organizations struggle to grow and evolve during periods of uncertainty? In other words, are the difficulties we have with uncertainty less to do with uncertainty itself, and more to do with how we choose to view and respond to it? In this episode of "Leadership Biz Cafe," my guest Dr. Rebecca Homkes presents her findings and a model that challenges us to rethink uncertainty as the fuel for breakthrough growth rather than an obstacle organizations need to overcome. Through our discussion of her book, "Survive, Reset, Thrive: Leading Breakthrough Growth Strategy in Volatile Times", Rebecca shares her proven SRT Loop framework - a cyclical three-stage process that will help leaders develop strategies to ensure their organization can withstand and grow whatever setbacks and market shocks that cross their path. What You'll Learn:Why treating uncertainty as temporary is the biggest strategic mistake leaders can makeHow to use the Uncertainty Matrix to categorize and respond to different types of volatilityThe five hard truths about survival that most leaders get wrongRebecca's power moves for creating stable foundations during turbulent timesHow to define your beliefs and test assumptions when you don't have all the dataThe difference between Right to Play and Right to Win (and why confusion kills growth)How to identify your Ideal Customer Profile and why narrowing focus drives expansionWhat "must-win battles" are and how to maintain focus as conditions changeHow to use the Black Box of Execution to transition from Reset to ThriveCommon SRT Leadership Traps and how to avoid them Whether you're navigating economic uncertainty, industry disruption, or organizational transformation, this conversation will fundamentally shift how you think about leading growth in volatile times.

We've all heard the statistic: 95% of diets fail.But what about the 5% that don't?What's really going on when someone does lose weight and keep it off?In this episode, I share a personal conversation with my husband, Rob, that sparked a deeper dive into what “success” in diet culture actually looks like—and whether the elusive 5% is something we should be striving for at all. From relentless control and genetic privilege to disordered eating that's socially rewarded, we unpack the complex truths behind long-term weight loss and ask the bigger, more important questions:At what cost? And is it worth it?We also explore the impact of weight loss medications and whether they truly change the game—or simply reinforce an old one.If you've ever clung to the hope of being the exception, this episode will offer both validation and a new perspective on what it means to reclaim your body—and your life.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Where the 95% diet failure statistic comes from (and what it actually means)Why some people do maintain long-term weight loss—and the steep costs involvedHow genetics and life circumstances shape outcomes more than willpower ever couldWhy disordered eating is often disguised as “healthy habits”What weight loss drugs like GLP-1 agonists do (and don't) changeHow redefining “success” can lead to true peace with food and your bodyIf You've Been Chasing the 5%…It's not your fault.You're not broken.And there's another way forward—one rooted in trust, nourishment, and freedom.

As women, we receive so much messaging about how big our lives are allowed to be. Whether it's patriarchy, childhood conditioning, or the communities we're part of, many women learn that being convenient, optimistic, and helpful makes them lovable.

In Part 1 of our two-part conversation with Dr. Bhupinder Farmaha, we dig into the reality of shifting farmer mindsets around nutrient management. As Clemson Extension's Soil Fertility Specialist, Bhupinder walks us through his journey from studying soil science at the University of Illinois to on-farm research in Minnesota and across South Carolina—where he's working side-by-side with farmers to reevaluate how much (and what kind of) fertilizer is really necessary.We explore the difficulty of challenging generational practices and the importance of building trust through local, participatory research. Bhupinder shares stories of farmers like Sonny Price, who haven't applied potash for nearly a decade—without any loss in yield—and how that's pushing the envelope on conventional wisdom.Topics covered include:Why scaling back fertilizer use is as much cultural as it is agronomicThe importance of working on real farms, not just research stationsBuilding peer-to-peer farmer networks for changeHow soil health practices like cover crops impact profitability, pH, and nutrient cyclingLearning from farmer-led experiments and shifting extension modelsThis episode lays the groundwork for a broader conversation about nutrient efficiency, soil health, and what it takes to bring about real-world change in agricultural systems.

Here's the truth no one talks about: You don't get what you want in life—you get what your nervous system feels safe receiving.Think about it—every client who comes to work with you has something they deeply desire. They've likely tried multiple strategies, taken all the "right" steps, and still aren't seeing results. Whether it's more money, a thriving relationship, or a successful business, the reason their goal remains out of reach often isn't due to a lack of capability or an outside factor–but because their nervous system isn't yet on board.Nervous system regulation is the missing link between your goals and your ability to receive the outcome of your achievement. If you're trying to hustle your way into a vision that your body doesn't feel safe holding, you'll burn out or sabotage. This is why Master Coach Training is such a powerful process for you as a coach, and for the clients you serve. The nervous system equates "familiar" with "safe"–even if that means staying stuck instead of moving forward. Today, we'll look at what nervous system regulation truly looks like so you can break this pattern, and I'll offer you several coaching tools and strategies that will help you and your clients expand your capacity to receive from a place of safety. The vision you have for your life and business is powerful, but it can't just be about setting goals. You can want something sincerely, but without nervous system regulation, you will stay stuck. When you have the holistic coaching tools to build safety and open yourself up to receive, real transformation and lasting change are possible—for you and your clients. What you'll learn:Why true nervous system regulation focuses on helping your body get used to something different Common signs that your nervous system does not feel safe receiving–and what to do about themPractical coaching tools to create safety in the nervous system: somatic anchoring, tapping, and microdosing changeHow to bridge the gap between your vision and the safety you need to achieve itJournal prompts to uncover why it feels unsafe to get what you wantYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2026 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?
