In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Anju Choudhary, Chief People Officer at Xoxoday, to unpack why burnout is not just a wellbeing problem, but a work design and change design problem.Anju explains why organizations often treat burnout as an individual resilience issue, when the real problem is often the way teams are overloaded with unclear priorities, constant change, weak manager support, and poor recognition systems. She shares why leaders need to stop rewarding unsustainable hustle and start designing cultures where people can perform, grow, and recover without burning out.Most importantly, Anju breaks down the practical ways HR leaders can reduce burnout, build trust, and create healthier performance cultures, from clearer feedback and better change management, to manager enablement, recognition, AI coaching, team playbooks, and reward strategies that actually connect to the lived employee experience.

Growth often looks impressive from the outside. New markets, new capabilities and new headlines. But as organizations scale, leaders quickly discover that growth is the visible part. Integration is the real work.In this episode of The CFO Show, Melissa Howatson sits down with Jim Peko, CEO of Grant Thornton Advisors LLC, to discuss one of the most significant transformations in the firm's 100-year history. As Grant Thornton evolves from a traditional partnership model into a unified multinational platform bringing together nearly 20 firms and 25,000 professionals, Jim shares lessons on governance, leadership, culture and long-term value creation.Together, they explore:Why true transformation requires more than incremental changeHow governance structures can accelerate or hinder growthThe difference between acquisition and integration, and why integration creates valueHow leaders can balance global consistency with local autonomyWhy transparency and communication matter during periods of changeHow AI and technology investments support quality, scalability and client outcomesLeadership lessons from transforming a 100-year-old organizationWhether leading a major acquisition, scaling internationally or modernizing a legacy business, this conversation offers practical insights for CFOs and enterprise leaders navigating transformation at scale.

I detta avsnitt pratar Hillesgårdsakademins Monika och Fredrik med professor Henrik Bresman från INSEAD. Samtalet handlar om högpresterande grupper, och om vad Henrik genom sin forskning har förstått om grupper som både presterar och mår bra. Henrik är svensk, men bor och verkar sedan många år i Singapore, och han har forskat kring högpresterande grupper tillsammans med kollegor som Deborah Ancona och Amy Edmondsson. Tillsammans med Deborah har han skrivit boken X-teams, och kärnan i den boken handlar om att det idag inte räcker för grupper att vara synkade kring gemensamma mål och ha bra relationer inom det egna teamet. Det är viktigt, säger Henrik, men med vår tids höga osäkerhet och snabba förändringstakt behöver man gå ut innan man går in. Han kallar de team som gör så för X-teams. Man behöver alltså förstå de intressenter man är ömsesidigt beroende av, innan man samlar sig internt för att sätta mål och staka ut vägen. Ytterligare facetter på Henriks forskning är mångfald och psykologisk trygghet. För när man är externt fokuserad som team – alltså ett X-team – behöver man hantera en mångfald av perspektiv, vilket potentiellt skapar friktion i gruppen. Och det är genom att orka vara kvar i den friktionen som gruppen kan bli verkligt högpresterande. En förutsättning för detta är dock att det finns psykologisk trygghet i gruppen, så att gruppens medlemmar verkligen vågar föra fram alla olikheter och vinklar på en specifik fråga eller område. I samtalet hänvisas till flera olika teorier och till forskarkollegor till Henrik. Vi har därför lagt in referenser och länkar till sådant vi tar upp i samtalet.

Leave a text or voice message so we can respondIf you keep finding yourself waiting for someone to change, holding onto the “good parts” of them, replaying their promises in your head, or wondering whether you're giving up too soon…this episode is for you.In this powerful episode of the Be A Better You Podcast, we're talking about the emotional trap of loving someone's potential instead of recognizing their consistent patterns of behavior. This is one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck in emotionally abusive, emotionally immature, narcissistic, or unhealthy relationships far longer than they should.You may think you're being hopeful, loyal, compassionate, understanding, or “seeing the best in people.” But after emotional abuse, hope can quietly become a coping mechanism that disconnects you from reality and keeps you emotionally attached to who someone could be instead of who they repeatedly show you they are.In this episode, you'll learn:Why emotionally intelligent women often stay stuck in toxic relationshipsThe difference between healthy hope and emotional self-abandonmentWhy you keep waiting for them to changeHow trauma bonding and co-dependency fuel attachment to potentialWhy words and promises feel so convincing after emotional abuseHow to recognize relationship patterns instead of focusing on isolated momentsThe subconscious beliefs that keep women trapped in cycles of overthinking and confusionWhy “giving the benefit of the doubt” can become emotionally dangerousThe difference between emotional chemistry and emotional safetyWhy emotionally abusive relationships thrive on inconsistencyHow nervous system attachment keeps you hooked on emotional highs and lowsSigns you may be romanticizing someone's future potential instead of accepting present realityIf you've been searching for:“How do I know if I should stay or leave?”“Why can't I let go?”“Why do I keep hoping they'll change?”“Am I trauma bonded?”“Why do I ignore red flags?”“Why do I feel addicted to the relationship?”“How do I stop overthinking my relationship?”“Can emotionally abusive people change?”“Why do I keep making excuses for them?”“Why do I feel guilty for wanting to leave?”…this episode will help you understand the deeper emotional and subconscious patterns driving those thoughts.This episode is not about becoming cold, bitter, or cynical. It's about learning how to see clearly, trust yourself again, and stop building your future around someone else's unfinished potential.✨ Ready for deeper healing?Explore the Emotional Healing Training Lab and the self-paced “Should I Stay or Leave?” course linked in the show notes.Use this link to apply for a free root cause call todaySupport the showTo learn more about my Programs, Course, and Offers visit the website:www.radiatenrise.comSupport Email: Allison@radiatenrise.comTo send a DM, visit Allison's profiles on Instagram and Facebookhttps://www.instagram.com/allisonkdagney/https://www.facebook.com/allisonkdagney/*Formerly (The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast)

In this episode of the Perform Happy Podcast, I sit down with 3-time Olympian Becky Downie to talk about finding your voice in gymnastics, advocating for yourself, and helping create a healthier culture for the next generation of athletes.For many gymnasts, speaking up can feel risky. Whether it's admitting you're scared, communicating pain, or disagreeing with a coach, athletes are often taught to stay quiet and push through. Becky shares how that mindset affected her early career and why learning to communicate became one of the most important skills she developed.Drawing from more than two decades on the national team, Becky reflects on the evolution of gymnastics culture and the progress that has been made toward athlete well-being. She discusses the importance of trusting your instincts, understanding the difference between discomfort and injury, and creating environments where athletes feel safe to be honest.We also explore the role coaches and parents play in helping young athletes develop confidence, self-awareness, and healthy communication skills. Becky shares why strong relationships matter, how athletes can learn to advocate for themselves, and why difficult conversations often create the biggest positive changes.In this episode you will hearWhy athletes need to find their voiceHow to communicate pain and injuries effectivelyWhy trusting your instincts mattersHow healthy coach-athlete relationships improve performanceWhy speaking up can create positive changeHow parents can advocate for their childrenWhat gymnastics culture has learned over the last 20 yearsThis conversation is a powerful reminder that great athletes are not built through fear and silence. When athletes feel heard, supported, and empowered to communicate, they can perform with greater confidence, resilience, and joy.Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!

World champion Olympic weightlifter, poet, and Happy Body co-creator Jerzy Gregorek joins Kelly Kessler on Rewiring Health for a conversation that will change how you think about aging, movement, and your own potential.After surviving political persecution in Poland, escaping as a refugee, and rebuilding his life from nothing, Jerzy developed a philosophy that is as simple as it is powerful: hard choices, easy life. In this episode, he shares why most people are exercising wrong, why you need far less movement than you think (and what elite sprinters know that you don't), and how just 30 minutes a day of intentional practice can restore flexibility, strength, and peace of mind — at any age.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the Happy Body program works for women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s — even if you've never exercised consistentlyHow to rebuild your body like hygiene: daily, simple, and sustainableThe truth about over-exercising and what Blue Zone elders teach us about longevityWhy creativity — not willpower — is the real key to lasting changeHow to fall in love with what's good for you, even when it's hardWhether you're burned out, in physical pain, or simply ready to stop shrinking and start growing — this episode is your reset.Connect with Jersy: https://thehappybody.com

From Insight to Embodiment: Healing, Awakening, and the Power of Relational Safety with Blaise KennedyWhat if real change doesn't happen through insight alone, but through the body, the nervous system, and the relationships that teach us how to become whole?In this deeply grounded and spacious episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I'm joined by Blaise Kennedy, a teacher and guide working at the intersection of embodied awareness, relational attunement, and spiritual awakening. Blaise supports growth-oriented people who are spiritually curious, emotionally honest, and ready for change that shows up in daily life, not only in meditation or peak experiences. His work was shaped by a major turning point at age 24, when he entered recovery and began a serious path of self-inquiry, healing, and integration. That journey eventually led him to create Developmental Architecture, a staged, embodied map of growth that weaves together awakening, nervous system capacity, trauma repair, and relational maturity into one developmental process.Together, we explore why healing is not a solo project, the difference between insight and embodiment, what the nervous system may really be asking for, and how awakening, healing, and manifestation can be understood as different facets of one living process of consciousness. This conversation has so much value for anyone working in change, whether through coaching, facilitation, leadership, organizational transformation, healing, or community work. It is also deeply relevant for anyone who has done inner work, had powerful insights, or experienced moments of awakening, yet still finds themselves returning to familiar patterns.Blaise brings a rare combination of vulnerability, humility, wisdom, and lived experience. This is not a conversation about change as theory. It is about change that becomes embodied, relational, and real.Key TakeawaysWhy insight alone is not enough to create lasting changeHow the nervous system shapes our capacity for awakening, intimacy, manifestation, and growthWhy healing was never meant to happen in isolation: The importance of relational safety, attunement, and co-regulation in transformationWhat becomes possible when awakening moves from peak experience into daily lifeWhy coaches, leaders, and changemakers need to understand their own nervous system and relational presenceLearn More About Today's GuestBlaise's website ****→ www.blaisekennedy.comBlaise's Instagram →@blaisehereAbout the HostJayne Warrilow is the founder of Sacred Changemakers, a global community and learning space exploring the intersection of human resonance, regenerative change, and conscious leadership.Learn more at sacredchangemakers.com

What can businesses learn from cults?It might sound like an uncomfortable comparison: one involves strategy meetings, values statements and quarterly targets; the other manipulation, charismatic leaders and extreme behaviour. But perhaps the distinction isn't as clear as we'd like to think. Both create identities and shared beliefs. Both shape how people think and behave. And both can evolve gradually in ways that are hard to recognise from the inside.Unhealthy cultures rarely appear overnight. Small compromises become normal, difficult questions become harder to ask, and behaviours that once felt uncomfortable slowly become accepted.Episode Overview On this episode, I'm joined by Tobias Sturesson, culture advisor and author of You Can Culture, whose understanding of organisational culture comes not from business school, but from a deeply personal experience growing up inside a religious community that gradually evolved into a cult.Drawing on his own story — and his work helping organisations create healthier cultures — Tobias explains why good people can become part of unhealthy systems, why speaking up is often far harder than leaders realise, and why culture is shaped far less by mission statements than by the everyday behaviours people learn to accept.We also explore:How communities and organisations can slowly drift into unhealthy patternsWhy leaving damaging environments is often much harder than outsiders imagineThe role of sunk costs, identity and belonging in keeping people trappedWhy organisations often mistake symptoms for root causesThe difference between “tone from the top” and “example from the top”Why humility may be one of the most underrated leadership traitsThe dangers of leaders creating the appearance of listening without genuinely hearing peopleWhy culture initiatives often fail to create lasting behavioural changeHow everyday leadership habits shape organisational cultureWhy discomfort is often necessary for growthGuest Profile - Tobias SturessonTobias is a culture advisor, speaker and author focused on helping organisations build healthier cultures and develop more responsible leadership practices. His work combines personal experience with research and practical interventions designed to help organisations identify and address the root causes that undermine cultural health. He is the author of You Can Culture: Transformative Leadership Habits for a Thriving Workplace, Positive Impact and Lasting Success.Links Tobias on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobiassturesson/Heart Management - https://www.heartmanagement.org/Tobias' Book: You Can Culture – https://youcanculture.com/AI-Generated Timestamped Summary 00:00 — Introduction: What can cults teach us about culture?03:00 — Tobias's story of growing up inside a community that became a cult08:30 — How unhealthy environments evolve gradually11:00 — Why leaving can be harder than joining13:00 — The importance of people who help without judging16:00 — Turning personal experience into professional purpose19:00 — Why organisations often misunderstand their own problems23:00 — Humility as a leadership strength26:00 — The tension between expertise and curiosity29:00 — Why business systems often reward the wrong behaviours33:00 — The importance of listening and asking better questions38:00 — Why reflection matters in fast-moving environments42:00 — Culture as everyday conversations and habits45:00 — Leadership signals and behavioural norms49:00 — Building healthier cultures through leadership habits53:00 — Why changing culture is difficult but necessary56:00 — Creating a movement for healthier leadership

Episode 6 — Returning Without ShameUnderstanding the Relapse Stage of ChangeIn today's episode we conclude our Change Is Not Linear series exploring the Stages of Change model developed by James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente.This episode explores the relapse stage, or what is often referred to as “recycling” through the stages of change.Relapse is one of the most misunderstood and shame-filled parts of behaviour change, yet it is also one of the most human.In this episode we explore:Why relapse does not mean failureThe cyclical nature of healing and behaviour changeHow shame can keep people stuck longer than the behaviour itselfNervous system responses and returning to familiar coping strategiesThe emotional build-up that often happens before relapseWhy relapse rarely begins with the behaviour itselfAll-or-nothing thinking and shame spiralsThe importance of compassion, honesty, and supportHow relapse can provide important insight and informationReturning to yourself without self abandonmentWe also talk about how relapse does not erase growth, awareness, healing, or progress, and why many people move through the stages of change multiple times before long-term transformation becomes sustainable.This episode is an invitation to view setbacks with compassion instead of self punishment, and to remember that healing doesn't equal perfection but an opportunity to return to yourself again and again.Journal Prompts & ReflectionWhere in my life do I still equate struggle with failure?What usually happens emotionally before I abandon myself or return to old patterns?How do I speak to myself after mistakes or setbacks?What would change if I viewed relapse as information instead of proof that I'm broken?What support helps me return to myself when I'm struggling?Can I believe that healing is still possible, even when the journey is imperfect?In This SeriesEpisode 1 — Protecting the BehaviourEpisode 2 — Living Between Two WorldsEpisode 3 — Imagining Another LifeEpisode 4 — Practising a New Way of BeingEpisode 5 — The Practice of StayingEpisode 6 — Returning Without ShameIf this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who may need the reminder that setbacks do not erase progress, and that healing can still continue after difficult moments.

Why do smart entrepreneurs still procrastinate and self-sabotage even when they know what to do?In this episode, Joyan speaks with Ryan Nichols about the hidden psychology behind procrastination, self-sabotage, and internal resistance.

In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Podcast, Maurice Harker explores a powerful idea: relationships don't fail randomly—they follow predictable laws.Using clear, practical analogies, this episode breaks down how relationships, personal growth, and emotional connection operate on principles that either help them “fly” or cause them to crash. Maurice explains why many people stay stuck in cycles of temporary fixes—and how understanding these laws can lead to lasting change.A key focus is the role of hope, belief, and trust as the activating force behind growth. Without these, progress stalls—but when applied correctly, they unlock momentum, healing, and real transformation.

Weight loss doesn't fail overnight.It usually happens slowly… through all-or-nothing thinking, unrealistic expectations, and patients feeling like they have to “start over” every Monday.In this episode, I'm joined by registered dietitian Sam Barone for a conversation about sustainable weight loss, behavior change, and why the best “diet” might not be a diet at all.

Improving student achievement in mathematics is a goal shared by schools, districts, and systems everywhere. Yet despite years of effort, many classrooms still aren't seeing the shifts in instruction or outcomes that we're aiming for. If the goal is clear, why does progress feel so inconsistent?The challenge isn't a lack of effort. Teachers are working hard, and schools are investing time into professional learning and new initiatives. But even with well-established teaching practices and research-backed strategies, something isn't sticking. In many cases, the issue lies not in the practices themselves, but in the systems designed to support them. Without clarity, alignment, and the right focus, it becomes difficult to create meaningful and lasting change in math instruction.In this episode, you'll explore:Why math achievement hasn't improved despite years of effortThe three key barriers preventing instructional changeHow a lack of clarity and coherence impacts teacher practiceWhy measuring the wrong things leads to stalled progressWhat it means to focus narrowly for greater impactWhy building teachers' math understanding—not just pedagogy—is essentialIf you're trying to improve math instruction in your classroom, school, or system, this episode will help you rethink your approach and focus on the changes that truly move the needle.We built a simple Math Coherence Compass to help district and school leaders make aligned decisions around math—without adding another initiative.

If you're waiting to “get through” the messy middle of your business, this episode is going to completely reframe how you think about growth. In this episode of The Real Truth About Business podcast, I'm breaking down why the middle is not a phase you escape but the reality of building a sustainable service-based business. This is for service-based entrepreneurs who feel stuck in a revenue plateau, frustrated that things feel inconsistent, messy, or harder than they should. After 9 years of experience, I can tell you the middle is where your real business strategy is built. Inside this episode, I walk you through the different seasons of business growth, how to identify where you are, and what to actually focus on so you can navigate this stage instead of trying to rush past it.What You'll Learn:Why the “messy middle” never actually ends in a service-based businessThe three seasons of business growth and how to identify yoursHow to tell if you've outgrown your current business strategyWhy revenue plateaus often signal a need for strategic changeHow to adjust your pricing strategy, pipeline, and sales processWhy doing less (not more) is key to sustainable business growthEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Introduction: Why the middle is the reality of business growth[03:00] The myth of “getting through” the messy middle[06:00] The three seasons: growth, smooth sailing, and hard seasons[10:00] Signs you've outgrown your current strategy[14:00] Why most business owners stay reactive instead of strategic[18:00] How to evaluate pricing, pipeline, and sales[21:00] Why doing less creates more revenue growthKey Takeaways:The Middle Is the BusinessHere's what I see constantly. Business owners thinking they're going to “get through” the messy middle and finally arrive at a place where everything feels easy.After 9 years of working with service-based entrepreneurs, I can tell you that's not how business works. The middle doesn't end unless you exit your business.The middle is the business.What actually changes are the seasons within it. Sometimes things feel smooth. Sometimes they feel messy. Sometimes they feel really hard. But none of those mean something is wrong.They mean something is shifting.There Are Seasons, Not StagesNot all “messy middle” experiences are the same. You're either in a growth season, a smooth season, or a hard season.Growth seasons feel exciting but chaotic. You're saying yes to opportunities, evolving your offers, and expanding your visibility. This is where a lot of repositioning and strategic planning happens.Smooth seasons feel stable. Revenue is consistent. Your sales process is working. But this is also where people get complacent and stop building their pipeline.Hard seasons feel heavy. Sales slow down. Your strategies stop working. This is where most people panic and assume they're doing something wrong.You're not. You're just in a different season.Feeling “Messy” Usually Means You've Outgrown Your StrategyIf things feel off, it's not random. It's data.Most of the time, that messy feeling is a signal that your current business strategy no longer fits where you are. Your pricing strategy might be outdated. Your lead generation might not be aligned with your next level. Your sales process might need to evolve.Inside the Focused Visionary Framework, this is where Pricing, Pipeline, and Sales all come back into focus.You don't need to burn everything down. You need to adjust.More Is Not the SolutionThis is where most people go wrong. When things feel messy, they add more.More content. More offers. More tactics.But if you're already at capacity or sitting in a revenue plateau, adding more is exactly what keeps you stuck.The real work at this stage is subtraction. Removing what no longer works. Getting clear on what actually drives revenue growth. Making strategic decisions based on facts, not emotion.Your Job Is to Navigate, Not EscapeThe goal is not to get out of the middle. It's to get better at navigating it.That means understanding your numbers. Paying attention to your pipeline. Adjusting your sales process. Making decisions that align with where you're going, not where you've been.Every new level of business growth brings a new version of the middle.That's not failure. That's how you scale.Resources MentionedSubscribe to Back Pocket Insights for FREEBook a CEO Strategy Call Learn more about The Missing Piece IntensiveLearn more about The Focused Visionary AcceleratorDownload the FREE Lead and Conversion TrackerSubscribe to the Sunday Morning Brew NewsletterAbout the Host:Michelle DeNio is a business strategist based in Sarasota, Florida, specializing in helping service-based entrepreneurs break through revenue plateaus using her Focused Visionary Framework.

In this episode, Diante gently challenges the belief that nothing works. That feeling is often rooted in exhaustion, not truth. And more importantly, it usually means you've been working at the wrong level of the problem.Instead of focusing on tools that temporarily ease symptoms, this conversation opens up a different perspective.What You'll LearnWhy “I've tried everything” is not evidence that you can't healThe difference between symptom relief and root-level changeHow anxiety lives as a learned pattern in the nervous systemWhy most tools only work at the surfaceWhat it looks like to begin changing the pattern underneath anxietyIf this episode resonated, the next step is The Anxiety Solution — Diante's free class.

Redeemed to Change | How to Follow Jesus, Week 4 Texts: Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:16–25A lot of people want to change, but still feel stuck.In Week 4 of How to Follow Jesus, Pastor Kevin opens Romans 12 and shows that the gospel offers something deeper than self-improvement. Jesus does not only forgive you. He changes you. Christian transformation does not grow out of shame, pressure, or pretending. It grows out of mercy.This message explores what it means to be remade by grace, to stop hiding what needs to come into the light, and to walk honestly with God in the real struggle of change. It also shows how repentance, surrender, and holy rhythms become places where grace does its work in us.If you have ever felt tired of old patterns, frustrated by slow growth, or tempted to settle for appearances, this message is a clear reminder that redemption does not only forgive you—it begins to remake you. Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 1:00 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextstepsFollow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the real reason you might still feel stuck… even if you've done all the mindset work, taken the courses, and know exactly what you “should” be doing.The truth is, most people are trying to change their reality from the conscious mind… when the real blocks are stored deep in the subconscious.I share why these hidden blocks are so powerful, how they silently control your results, and why they don't shift through logic, journaling, or surface-level awareness alone.And more importantly, I'm inviting you into a live experience where you don't just learn this work… you actually experience it.Whether you join us in person at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel Toronto or virtually from anywhere in the world, this is your opportunity to have your subconscious patterns seen, identified, and cleared in real time.This is the exact method I use with my private clients to create rapid, lasting transformation and this event is your chance to step into that level of work.If you've been feeling stuck, repeating patterns, or like there's “something deeper” holding you back… this episode will show you exactly why and what to do about it.Get your spot at our LIVE Toronto Event: ⁠⁠⁠⁠INPERSON: https://marleyrose.mykajabi.com/offers/oLPgxHPn/checkout⁠⁠ONLINE: ⁠https://marleyrose.mykajabi.com/offers/qJEFoKyE/checkout⁠What You'll LearnWhy you can know what to do and still not changeThe difference between conscious effort vs subconscious programmingHow hidden fears and beliefs are formed and stored in the bodyWhy traditional mindset work often doesn't create lasting resultsWhat it actually takes to create rapid, permanent changeHow live subconscious reprogramming works (and why it's so powerful)The energetic difference between learning something vs experiencing itKey QuotesReflect on where in your life you feel stuck despite “doing the work”Identify patterns that keep repeating (money, relationships, confidence, success)Ask yourself: what if this isn't a strategy problem, but a subconscious block?Decide if you're ready to stop circling the same patterns and actually clear themTake aligned action by joining the live or virtual experienceResources:

What if high-performance isn't about pushing harder… but regulating smarter?In this episode of the Conscious Leadership Revolution, Susan Hobson sits down with leadership strategist and nervous system expert Marta Czajkowska to unpack the hidden driver behind burnout, overwhelm, and inconsistent performance:Your nervous system.If you're a high-achiever, executive, or leader navigating pressure, rapid change, or the demands of AI-driven environments… this conversation will challenge everything you've been taught about success.Why “no pain, no gain” is sabotaging your performanceThe real reason high performers burn outWhat conscious leadership actually means in 2026 and beyondHow your nervous system determines your capacity for successThe difference between striving vs. sustainable high performanceWhy most leadership training fails to create real changeHow to train your brain and body for clarity, resilience, and flowThe critical role of rest, recovery, and regulation in peak performanceMost leaders are operating in chronic sympathetic overdrive—a state where your brain constantly signals:“Not safe. Not safe. Not safe.”And from that state… clarity, creativity, and conscious leadership become impossible.The future of leadership doesn't belong to those who push harder.It belongs to those who can stay regulated under pressure.

If you've been repeating affirmations, journaling your thoughts, and still feeling stuck… we need to talk.Because it's not that you're doing it wrong.It's that these tools aren't actually designed to create the kind of change you're looking for.In this episode, I'm breaking down why mantras and journaling often don't work—especially for sensitive, self-aware women—and what to do instead.Mantras can create internal conflict when your brain doesn't believe what you're saying.Journaling can turn into rumination that reinforces the exact patterns you're trying to break.So if you've ever felt like:“I should be further along by now”“I know better, so why am I still stuck?”“I've done so much work, why hasn't anything really changed?”This episode will land.I'm going to show you a different way to work with your brain—one that actually creates emotional buy-in, shifts your beliefs, and changes how you show up in your life.✨ In This Episode, I Talk About:Why mantras often feel empty (and can actually increase anxiety)How journaling can quietly reinforce negative thinking patternsThe role your survival brain is playing behind the scenesWhy your beliefs—not your thoughts—are what need to changeThe real skill that creates confidence, calm, and lasting changeHow asking better questions can completely shift your emotional state

Stepping into a company your parents built sounds like a natural transition. It's not.In this episode, Tracy and Shannon sit down with Anne Huntington Sharma, CEO and President of Huntington Learning Center, to talk about what it actually looks like to lead a nearly 50-year-old franchise brand into its next chapter. From growing up in the business to building experience outside of it, Anne shares what it took to step into leadership, earn credibility, and navigate the reality of leading a system where trust isn't automatic. This conversation goes beyond leadership titles. Anne breaks down what it means to act as a steward of a legacy brand while still pushing it forward, from leading through COVID and driving a system-wide shift online to managing large-scale innovation across hundreds of franchise locations. She also shares how Huntington is investing in the future, including building custom curriculum powered by both AI and human expertise, and what it takes to roll out change in a way franchisees will actually adopt.They also get into the parts most people don't talk about, balancing family dynamics inside a business, making long-term decisions while franchisees are focused on today, and why consistency, communication, and local community presence still matter more than ever.If you've ever wondered what it really takes to lead, evolve, and protect a legacy brand at the same time, this episode will give you a much clearer picture.So if you're building, leading, or stepping into something bigger than you, this is the episode to listen to.Resources:Business conference: https://chiefexecutive.net/Connect with Anne:Website: https://huntingtonhelps.com/Franchise Info: https://huntingtonfranchise.com/Phone: 1-800-CAN-LEARNLinkedIn: @anne-huntington-sharmaEpisode Highlights:Growing up inside a franchise system and what that actually looks likeThe decision to work outside the family business firstThe moment that led Anne to join Huntington full-timeNavigating leadership as the founder's daughterLeading through COVID and system-wide changeHow to introduce innovation in a legacy franchise systemThe role of trust, consistency, and communication in leadershipWhy local marketing still drives franchise successBuilding credibility with franchisees over timeWhat franchisees need from leadership todayConnect with TracyPersonal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleJBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/Email: podcast@jbfsale.comConnect with ShannonPersonal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/       JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleWebsite - https://shineexecutivecoaching.com/Email - shannon@shineexecutivecoaching.com

Maurice shares practical tools for strengthening memory, including repetition, writing, and simple systems that help you retain what you learn instead of losing it over time.You'll also discover how intentional learning, spiritual focus, and consistent review can help you apply principles across different seasons of life—rather than starting over every time circumstances change.

What does it actually take to go from a struggling design business to a thriving, seven-figure company?In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I share a real success story of one of our designer students who transformed her business from $250,000 to over $1.25 million in revenue.This isn't about luck, talent, or magic, it's about learning, implementing, and consistently taking action.From navigating a major project opportunity during COVID, to refining pricing, building systems, hiring support, and stepping into leadership, this story breaks down exactly what it takes to grow a profitable and sustainable design business.If you've ever wondered what's possible for you, or what it really takes to get there—this episode will give you both inspiration and a clear path forward.In this episode, we cover:The real difference between a design practice and a design businessHow one designer scaled from $250K to $1.25MWhy implementation matters more than informationThe importance of asking for help and being open to changeHow to properly structure a large, high-value projectWhy big opportunities must be set up correctly from the startThe role of pricing, profitability, and money mindsetHow to identify and attract your ideal clientWhy systems are essential for growth and scalabilityWhen and how to hire support in your businessThe importance of staying profitable while growingHow to “fly the plane while building it”Why consistent action creates exponential resultsShow notes are available at interiordesignbusinessacademy.comFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/InteriorDesignBusinessAcademyFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/interiordesignbusinessacademy

In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Podcast, Maurice Harker breaks down a hard truth about personal growth: waiting for motivation doesn't work.Instead of relying on fleeting feelings, this episode teaches how to create real, lasting change through intentional desire, disciplined action, and the DPR (Discover, Plan, Act, Reflect) system. Maurice explains why many people feel stuck—not because they lack ability, but because they are waiting for motivation to appear instead of building it through effort.You'll also learn how small progress compounds over time, why desire itself is a form of effort, and how to take meaningful action even when life disrupts your plans.

Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!In this episode, I'm sharing why it can feel like nothing is working, even when you're doing everything “right”, and the deeper shifts you can make in your home and energy to finally move things forward.Why feeling stuck isn't always about needing to do more, and how your environment could be keeping you in the same loopHow your home's energy might be louder than your intentions, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, distracted, and exhaustedWhy mindset, habits, and your environment need to work together, not separatelyHow different spaces in your home influence how you think, feel, and take action throughout the dayWhy identifying what your home is currently supporting (and what it isn't) can unlock real changeHow small, intentional shifts in your space can create clarity, calm, and forward movementWhy your home should reflect where you are now and where you want to go, not where you've beenIf you feel like you're constantly trying but getting nowhere, it's not because you're doing it wrong. It may simply be that your environment isn't supporting the version of you you're trying to become.Your home is always responding to you, and you are always responding to it. When those two things align, everything starts to feel easier, clearer, and more natural.Start small. Notice how each space makes you feel. And begin creating a home that truly supports the life you want to move towards.2026 Year of the Horse Energy Planner: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-plannerYou can buy The Calm and Happy Home now:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Indigo | Watkins Publishing Join the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleySo much love, Kimberley xxA bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-serviceWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram @thefengshuiflow! xx Hosted on Acast.

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by The LEARN Academy.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.For many students with significant behavioral needs, the traditional path leads out: out of the classroom, out of the district, and too often, away from a hopeful future. Buckeye Union High School District (BUHSD) in Arizona knew this wasn't acceptable. Students placed externally rarely came back, and when they did, there was little structured system support to help them transition successfully.In this edWeb podcast, education leaders explore how BUHSD built an in-district behavioral services model that keeps students connected to their schools, communities, and futures. Panelists, including Exceptional Student Services Director Scott Acton, share strategies grounded in 15 years of real-world implementation. You learn:How to shift from punitive discipline toward therapeutic, student-centered approaches that produce lasting behavior changeHow to design reintegration pathways that set students up for success when they return to home campusesWays to align behavioral, academic, and social-emotional supports without a full program overhaulBUHSD's model produced measurable results: increased reading and math performance, reintegration rates among the highest in Arizona, and graduation rates approaching 90%.This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 district leaders, special education directors, directors of student services, and school leaders responsible for behavioral programming.The LEARN AcademyMeeting the unique needs of the whole studentDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

You've probably seen the stat shared on Instagram. A coach drops it in their sales page. Someone quotes it on a podcast. Ninety five percent of your behaviour is driven by your subconscious mind and everyone nods, shares it, repeats it. But here's the question nobody is actually answering, what does that mean for your real life? For your business? For the pattern you keep finding yourself in despite knowing exactly what you should do?In this episode, I go deep on the mechanics of the 95% problem. The actual mechanism, what your subconscious is doing, why your conscious mind keeps running out of road, and why the gap between what you want and what you do isn't a discipline problem, a strategy problem, or a you problem.This is the foundational episode of the Under the Surface series and if you've ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same place despite everything you know, this one is for you.Topics covered on The 95% Problem:Why the 95% stat gets thrown around and what the research actually saysThe iceberg model - what the conscious and subconscious minds are actually doingThe prefrontal cortex - the brain's executive centre and why it's the last part to developThe three things your subconscious is doing simultaneously without your awarenessWhy your subconscious patterns are protection, not punishmentThe gap, why conscious effort alone will never create lasting changeHow to tell in real time whether you're operating from your 5% or your 95%Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeRelated episodes you may enjoy:277.

Maybe there's another man. Maybe everyone around you is telling you it's over.Cass says: don't sign. Don't defend yourself. Don't equalize.Own your story — all of it — without the defensiveness that keeps you stuck.In this live Q&A, Cass coaches John through one of the hardest situations a man can face: a wife demanding divorce papers, a pregnancy with another man involved, and a “deadline” window to become a completely different man.What Cass covers in this episode:Why signing the papers isn't the answer — even when she's threatening youThe mindset shift that separates men who flip their marriage from men who lose itWhy defending yourself destroys your ability to actually changeHow to own physical, emotional, and sexual betrayal without excusesWhy your wife probably doesn't need another apology — she needs to see you changeIdentity loss in marriage and how to find yourself againWhy men must process with men — not with their wivesWhat “death to the old self” looks like in real lifeKey line from this episode:“Don't ever bring up the sh*t that your wife has done. Don't equalize it. Own your story. Every time you defend yourself, you lose the ability to move forward.”If this is you — if she's done and you're not — this episode is your roadmap.

ART IS CHANGE – Art is ResistanceWhat happens when freedom of expression is under pressure? When speech narrows, fear rises, and the future feels smaller than it should?In this episode, we explore how activist artists and cultural organizers have historically stepped into these moments—not as decoration or entertainment, but as essential agents of democratic life.

What does it look like to wake up at fifty and finally ask, "What do I actually want?" For Debbie Weiss — bestselling author, speaker, and host of the Maybe I Can podcast — that question became the turning point that changed everything.In this deeply honest and vulnerable conversation, Debbie shares the emotional arc of her transformation: from decades of family caregiving that left her financially stressed, emotionally depleted, and disconnected from herself, to building an entirely new life through what she calls "sprinkles" — small, intentional shifts that slowly and powerfully rewrote her story. Her journey from identity loss to empowered living, including losing over 80 pounds, writing a bestselling memoir, and discovering that personal growth doesn't require a giant leap. It just requires one tiny step, taken consistently.In this episode, I sit down with Debbie Weiss, an author, speaker, and podcaster who spent thirty years navigating the intense caregiving burden of looking after her disabled father, a son with special needs, and a husband struggling with chronic illness. Debbie's story is a powerful example of how midlife women can reclaim their lives, moving from a place of deep identity loss to one of purposeful, empowered living.In this episode you'll learn:How to recognize when you've slipped into victim mentality — and the first small step toward reclaiming your personal agencyHow to manage the physical and emotional toll of being the family caregiver without losing your spirit or your sense of selfWhy self-care is not a selfish luxury but the necessary foundation for showing up as your best self for the people you loveHow to approach a midlife career change or a new passion project by making "maybe I can" your new daily mantraThe role resilience building plays in moving through the stages of grief recovery after profound lossWhy sandwich generation women need to release the pressure of perfection and embrace the "1% more" rule for sustainable, lasting changeHow to begin your own personal growth journey by committing to just one doable, body-led goal at a timeThis episode is for every woman in the sandwich generation who has quietly wondered whether there is anything left for her on the other side of all that giving. There is. And Debbie is proof.A note from Laurie:The power to change your life has been within you all along — even when it feels completely buried. You are not alone in this journey. And it is never, ever too late to start choosing yourself.If this episode speaks to something you've been carrying quietly, share it with a woman in your life who needs to hear it.

You know that moment when you catch your reflection unexpectedly and think, "Who is that?" Not in a curious way, but in a way that feels like you don't recognize yourself? If you've had that moment, this episode is for you.In this episode, we're talking about the evolution of body positivity and acceptance, the challenges of embracing body diversity in a culture that's currently shrinking, and how we can find peace with ourselves right now, in the bodies we're in today.Kristina brings such clarity to the difference between body positivity and body acceptance, and why acceptance isn't resignation. She shares her own story of body grief, what it felt like to lose the identity that came with being thin, and how she found freedom on the other side of that grief. We also talk about the contraction and expansion happening in our current cultural moment (hello, GLP-1 era) and why this might be the final push before more of us say "enough."If you've been stuck in body grief, if you feel betrayed by your changing body, or if you're exhausted from fighting yourself, this conversation will meet you right where you are.In this episode, you'll learn:The difference between body positivity (a social justice movement) and body acceptance (a personal practice)Why body acceptance isn't resignation, it's actually the path to real changeHow to move through body grief instead of staying stuck in itWhy your body isn't betraying you, even when it feels that wayWhat's underneath our resistance to body changes in midlife (spoiler: it's not about the weight)How to stop sourcing your worth externally and start finding safety within yourselfConnect with Kristina:Instagram: @kristinabruce_coachWebsite: kristinabruce.comPodcast: Unlearning BeautifulRelated Episodes You'll Love:Episode 47: Why Changing Your Body Isn't the Body Image Fix You're Looking For with Kristina BruceEpisode 109: The Body Acceptance Mistake That Keeping You StuckEpisode 134: What Every Woman Needs to Know About Body Image in Midlife with Summer InnanenEpisode 141: Navigating Body Grief in Midlife with Nina ManolsonWhat did you think of this episode?

In this episode of The Sesh, we start with a painfully honest truth, novelty is addictive as hell.Not in the dramatic after-school-special way. In the real-life way. Learning can feel productive. Research can feel productive. Building the perfect system can feel productive. But sometimes it's just a prettier way to avoid doing the actual thing in front of you.So that's where this one starts.We get into analysis paralysis, fear of failure, bare minimum habits, and why doing ten simple reps every day beats building some giant perfect plan you'll never follow. We talk about what happens when your competitive edge fades, why rejection gets easier only after you've eaten enough no's, and how asking for things opens way more doors than most people realize.From there, this one goes where The Sesh always goes, into the weeds in the best way.We get into parenting, connection, service, letting people help you, networking, sales, social awkwardness, work, masculinity, modern comfort, forgotten skills, religion, change, collapse, and why racing games somehow became therapy.It's funny, scattered, sharp, and way more honest than polished.What we get into:Why learning can turn into avoidanceAnalysis paralysis and the fear behind overthinkingThe power of simple daily repsWhy asking is a skill most people never buildHow rejection changes youCompetition, drive, and what happens when you lose your edgeService, connection, and why receiving help can be harder than giving itThe value of trades, real-world skills, and uncomfortable growthWhy change feels threatening even though life is literally changeHow racing became meditationA bunch of side quests, because obviouslyThis episode is for you if:You keep “preparing” instead of startingYou've been stuck in your head and calling it progressYou miss feeling drivenYou struggle to ask for what you wantYou're good at helping everyone but yourselfYou like conversations that start in one place and end up somewhere way more interestingOne of the biggest takeaways from this one:A lot of us are not actually stuck because we don't know enough.We're stuck because doing the simple thing every day is less exciting than building a new theory about our life.That's the trap.Listen now, then ask yourself:What's the thing you already know you need to do, but keep replacing with something more interesting?Send us your thoughts, your feedback, and your suggestions for future episodes of The Sesh.

Episode 248There's a saying we hear often in literacy work: you don't want to try to intervene your way out of a Tier 1 problem. Real change happens when classroom instruction and small-group support are aligned.In this episode, we're joined by Kerry Cusick and Erin Sharon, two reading interventionists, who share how aligning Tier 1 instruction with the small-group work they lead every day transformed both their approach and student outcomes. While their work lives in intervention, the routines and decision-making they describe are just as relevant for classroom teachers running small groups.In this conversation, we explore:What small-group intervention looked like before alignment and what had to changeHow clearer, more consistent Tier 1 instruction reshaped small-group teachingWhat responsive small-group lessons look like when they're built around student needHow phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and meaning work together in small groupsWhy fluency matters and how routines move students from sounds to connected textKerry and Erin share practical examples from their MTSS work, including how they use data to form groups, align with classroom scope and sequence, and design small-group instruction that builds accuracy, automaticity, and meaning.RESOURCESSmall-Group Instruction Listening GuideBuilding Fluency with POSSUM with Melissa Orkin and Maryanne Wolf (podcast episode)Reading Universe Read Works Read Live Roll & ReadsUFLI KindergartenUFLI Grade 1 Neuhaus Education Center Rapid Recognition Chart Generator Crafting Minds We answer your questions about teaching reading in The Literacy 50-A Q&A Handbook for Teachers: Real-World Answers to Questions About Reading That Keep You Up at Night.Grab free resources and episode alerts!

Today, we welcome Dr. Greg Giuliano, advisor and executive coach to senior leaders and teams around the world, and founder of GA | Ultra Leadership. Greg is the author of three #1 Amazon Bestsellers, including his newest book, Coaching for (a) Change: How to Engage, Empower, and Activate People.Greg's WebsiteGreg on YouTube@ultraleadership on InstagramLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/greggiuliano/In this book, Greg challenges traditional command-and-control leadership and offers a practical alternative: coaching. Drawing on more than two decades of experience, he introduces the GR8 Coaching Framework, a set of eight powerful questions designed to help leaders shift from being expert problem-solvers to facilitators of ownership, engagement, and real change.Why This Book, and Why Now?Greg, let's start at the beginning. What experiences or patterns in your leadership and coaching work prompted you to write Coaching for (a) Change? What problem were you seeing leaders struggle with most?From Manager to CoachYou talk about the need for leaders to shift from “manager” to “coach.” What does that shift really mean in day-to-day leadership—and why does the old command-and-control model fall short?Ultra Leadership vs. Traditional LeadershipYou distinguish between traditional leadership and what you call Ultra Leadership. How are they different, and what behaviors separate leaders who engage and empower people from those who unintentionally shut them down?The Power of Coaching (and the Misconceptions)Many leaders say they don't have time to coach—or that coaching is soft or optional. Why is coaching actually a critical leadership skill today, and what are the biggest misconceptions leaders have about it?The GR8 Coaching FrameworkLet's get practical. Walk us through the GR8 Coaching questions. How do these questions help leaders kick the “expert problem-solver” habit and activate ownership, accountability, and change?For leaders listening right now who want to start coaching for change—but don't know where to begin—what's one question they can ask this week that would immediately shift how their people show up?Thanks to our sponsor, White Cloud Coffee — fueling creative conversations everywhere.
