In this episode of Business Your Way, Caryn Gillen sits down with Heather Hammell, host of The Fully Booked Therapist, to talk about what happens when service-based business owners stop pricing from the going rate (or industry standard) and start pricing from facts and data.Heather coaches hands-on therapists (massage therapists, PTs, OTs, speech therapists, body workers) to build practices that pay them well and don't wreck their bodies. But the principles here apply to any coach, consultant, or small business owner who's been quietly overworking to make "just enough."They get into:Why "just enough" is a vague, self-limiting measurementBuilding a schedule around when YOU actually work bestWatching for dread, envy, and drag as signals that something in your business needs to changeWhy selling your service isn't slimy — and how to help clients see the real value of what you doHow to take a sick day without your whole business falling apartSaying your rates and cancellation policy out loud as an act of integrityFor clients: why you should be glad when your therapist charges more (and what that probably means)If you love your massage therapist, chiropractor, or body worker, this is the episode to send them!-----** If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to hit that subscribe button, share it with a friend, like and/or leave a comment.

Balance has nothing to do with time. It has everything to do with alignment.Tiffany is heading into a season she's known was coming for years: the last year all four of her girls will be in the same school district, and a reminder that they'll only all be home together for seven years of her life. Rather than treat that as something to fix with rest or a retreat, she explains why healed balance only comes when your daily choices are congruent with who you want to become and the good you want to put into the world.She also revisits her fear statement from one of the show's earliest episodes, and explains why she learns more from people and stories than she ever has from books.What You'll LearnWhy balance has nothing to do with timeHow decisions need renegotiating as seasons changeWhy rest alone can't heal imbalance, only alignment canWhat it means to build "the and"Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(01:14) A hard summer walking into a big season(02:45) The last year all four girls share a school district(06:30) Redefining balance: alignment over time(08:59) Why rest alone can't heal imbalance(11:52) Revisiting the Fear Interview and her fear statement(14:08) Why she learns from people, not books(18:32) Aubrey takes over the Instagram for 30 days(20:36) A Seat at the Table: October 7th(23:20) The Life of And mini retreat returns: October 22–23(26:34) A new Goals & Values Workshop: November 20For more from Tiffany:Reserve your Seat At The Table: https://www.tiffanysauder.com/seat-at-the-table Save your spot at the Mini Retreat: https://www.tiffanysauder.com/mini-retreat Reserve your seat at the Goal Setting Session: https://www.tiffanysauder.com/goals-values-workshop Check out Tiffany's Fear Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBOFMnA87nE&list=PLR2Wi9I1-pznlP1rAqgwyhzbRSsuXeabc&index=2 Ready to build your own Life of And?

The Lindsay Clancy case is one of the most gut-wrenching tragedies making headlines, and has torn the public opinion, (and even relationships) apart. Was it unspeakable heartbreak? Psychosis? Or criminal intent, plain and simple? Today, I'm joined by forensic psychologist Dr. Shannon Curry, the woman who bravely took the stand in the Depp-Heard trial, to unravel the real-life consequences every woman needs to think about. Not just for herself, but for every mother, wife, and daughter who might need help before it's too late.We break down the psychology, the law, and those impossible “what would I do?” dilemmas that are dividing men, women, and the world.Here's exactly what we dive into:The difference between baby blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis (and why most mothers never, ever hurt their children)The systems failures that are failing mothers, and what HAS to changeWhy women often hide dark thoughts, and why “blaming the husband” misses the real pointThe crucial first step to get help, without fear, shame, or losing your kidsChapter Titles:Baby Blues vs. Postpartum Depression vs. Psychosis: The Real RisksThe Truth About Postpartum Psychosis and Filicide: Numbers No One Tells YouMeds, Misdiagnosis & System Failure: Is This the Real Root?Overmedication, Missed Warnings & Hindsight BiasShould Kids Be Taken Away?

Why wasn't I worth it to him?Why wasn't I worth changing for?Why wasn't I worth getting sober for, telling the truth for, going to therapy for, fighting for?Why could I love him that much, sacrifice that much, try that hard—and still not be enough to make him choose differently?It is one of the most painful rabbit holes after divorce.And it can keep you stuck because every time you ask the question, you are still making his choices the evidence of your worth.Maybe you're waiting for the apology.The confession.The accountability.The moment he finally admits that you were right, that he hurt you, that you mattered, that he should have done better.And yes—getting some of those things can feel validating.But they cannot repair your self-esteem for you.They cannot heal your attachment wounds.And they cannot teach your nervous system what secure love actually feels like.In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, Dawn, Joy, and Tiffini unpack why “Why wasn't I worth it to him?” is rarely just a question about your ex.It is often connected to the much older belief that if you can love well enough, perform well enough, fix enough, forgive enough, or make yourself valuable enough, someone will finally choose you.We talk about the painful intersection between codependency and addiction, why apologies without behavioral change can keep you hooked, and what happens when you stop asking him to be the authority on whether you were lovable enough.Because at some point, healing after divorce requires a different question.Not:Why didn't he choose me?But:Why did I need his choices to tell me what I was worth?Inside this episode:Why “Why wasn't I worth it?” becomes such a powerful loop after divorceWhy you may have wanted him to change for youThe difference between an apology, accountability, and actual changeWhy finally hearing “you were right” may bring relief without bringing healingHow codependency and anxious attachment can pair with addiction and avoidanceWhy being the perfect wife can still come from fear instead of secure loveHow women can use fixing, pleasing, motherhood, perfectionism, and relationships to soothe their own painWhy his unwillingness to heal is not proof that you were not worth healing forWhat it means to stop making him the authority on your valueHow learning secure love changes who—and what—you choose nextThe question “Why wasn't I worth it to him?” keeps you looking backward for evidence.Secure love asks you to come back to yourself.Because eventually, the work is not convincing yourself that you were worthy enough for him to choose.It is becoming so rooted in your own worth that his inability to choose differently no longer gets to define you.Ready to do this work differently?Enrollment for A Different D-Word is closing in just days.If you are exhausted from understanding your patterns intellectually but still feeling them run your relationships, nervous system, confidence, and choices, this is the work we spend an entire year doing together.Not just talking about what happened.Actually changing what happens next.Scroll to the link below, fill out the application, and we'll take it from there.We would love to work with you.

I sat down with Madi Cheever - registered dietitian, T1D, and founder of Type 1 Type Fun. Madi had an extraordinary year. She published a book, launched her podcast The Bad Diabetic Club, hosted a nearly 300-person diabetes conference, traveled to Japan, and served as dietitian at multiple diabetes camps across the country. From the outside it looked like everything was firing on all cylinders. Behind the scenes she was completely burned out - personally and professionally - and something had to give.She shares what that burnout actually looked like, why she made the decision to step away from social media and her platforms, and what the process of moving across the country, rebuilding her personal life, and finding her way back to the work she loves actually taught her about rest, boundaries, and what it means to truly take care of yourself first.Madi shows us that it doesn't matter what walk of life you come from or in what status your diabetes is functioning in, you can't pour from an empty cup. It will eventually catch up to you.
What if the thing making you feel overwhelmed isn't that you're bad at managing your time?What if you just have too much on your plate?I know. Revolutionary.In this episode, I'm talking with Kayse Pratt of Anchored Women about something both of us have had to wrestle with: simplification.Kayse recently made a pretty dramatic change in her business. After 16 years of creating digital products, she found herself with 223 different products. And here's the kicker: the business whose entire mission was to help people simplify had created a product line that was actually making things more complicated.So Kayse did something that is not easy to do.She cut it down to four.And that decision got us talking about what happens when we look at our own lives and realize we've done the exact same thing.We've added good thing after good thing until our lives are completely packed.And then we wonder why we're exhausted.As homeschool moms, this can happen especially easily. We aren't just educating our kids. We're managing the house, feeding everybody, running people to activities, keeping up with relationships, serving at church, working jobs, and trying to maintain some semblance of spiritual life somewhere in the middle of all of it.So how do we know what needs to stay?And what are we actually allowed to let go?Kayse and I talk honestly about the difficulty of simplifying, why we sometimes have to "hit the wall" before we're willing to change, and what it looks like to trust God with the things we can't control.We also get very practical.We're talking about making decisions once instead of over and over again, using a Top Three list, simplifying meals, creating family rhythms, and recognizing that homeschool absolutely counts as one of the things taking up your time and energy.Because simplifying isn't about becoming more efficient so you can cram even MORE into your day.It's about making room for the things that actually matter.In this episode, you'll learn:Why adding good things can still leave you with an unsustainable lifeHow Kayse decided to cut Anchored Women from 223 products down to just fourWhy simplifying can be painful before it becomes life-givingHow to recognize when you're approaching the point where something needs to changeWhy homeschool belongs on your list of actual time and energy commitmentsHow making decisions once can dramatically reduce daily decision fatigueHow to use a simple Top Three system without pretending you have unlimited capacityWhy simple family rhythms can actually help your kids feel more secureHow to simplify meals without creating another complicated systemWhy we sometimes need to let go of good things to make room for better thingsHow pride and our desire for control can keep us from simplifyingWhat Psalm 23 has taught Kayse about trusting God instead of trying to make everything happen ourselvesWhy simplification isn't necessarily permanent—sometimes we're in a season of cutting back, and sometimes we're in a season of growthMentioned in This Episode:Elevate--Support for the homeschool momAnchored Women (planning resources + community)The Steadfast Over Scattered PlannerBrain Dump and prioritize FREE Download
"Maybe that is what these seasonal transitions are really offering us. Not a chance to get back to normal, but a chance to become more honest about what is changing."What if some of the grief in your life is coming from a transition you actually wanted?In this episode, we are talking about the grief that can show up when life changes, even when the change is exciting or necessary. Sending a kid to college, moving, changing jobs, leaving a community, or simply becoming someone new can bring a surprising amount of grief with it.We look at Francis Weller's idea of the descent, what our bodies can tell us during seasons of change, and why we do not have to rush ourselves into whatever comes next. I also share two simple rituals for marking transitions and making a little more room for what we are feeling.In this episode, we talk about:Transitional grief and why we often miss itWhy wanted changes can still hurtFrancis Weller's idea of the descentListening to your body during changeWhy we need other people when life is shiftingTwo simple rituals for marking a transitionMaking room for the in-betweenLinks + Resources from this episode:Become a Patron!Connect with Mandy on InstagramLearn more about coachingGet a copy of Apprenticeship with Sorrow by Francis Weller
Ever drive on Highway 401, switch lanes because the one beside you looks faster... and somehow end up beside the exact same beige Corolla fifteen minutes later?Welcome to Toronto.And come to think of it... welcome to running a business.In Episode 401 of The MindShare Podcast, David Greenspan uses one of Toronto's favourite sources of frustration - Highway 401 - to talk about what happens when business slows down, we start watching everybody else's lane, changing direction, getting distracted and wondering whether somebody else knows something we don't. September is here, and Realtors everywhere are talking about the Fall Market. But September showing up on the calendar doesn't automatically mean you're mentally or operationally ready to take advantage of it.David walks through how to get yourself back into rhythm after summer, identify what slipped, reconnect your daily activities to the goals that actually matter, and protect the revenue-producing work that keeps getting buried underneath email, administration, social media and everything else competing for your attention. He also digs into what to do when the market feels slow, why you shouldn't abandon a strategy because of a few bad conversations, how to use your own numbers to decide when to adjust, and why September should be about creating movement rather than expecting every conversation to immediately turn into a transaction. The road is in front of you.Figure out where you're going, stop changing lanes every time somebody beside you moves a little faster, and get yourself moving.What You'll LearnWhy the Highway 401 traffic analogy is a lot like running a businessHow watching what everyone else is doing can interrupt your own momentumWhy September arriving doesn't automatically mean you're ready for the Fall MarketHow to identify what slipped during the summer and decide what actually needs to come backWhy trying to restart seventeen habits at once usually makes things worseHow to reconnect prospecting, follow-up and other business activities to goals you actually care aboutWhy your destination should determine your business decisions instead of whatever lane looks fastest todayHow to identify the one thing you're avoiding even though you know it needs to get doneWhy you can work ten hours and still avoid the activities that create businessWhich revenue-producing activities deserve protection in your scheduleHow to evaluate activity based on numbers and conversations rather than how the market feelsWhy life events continue creating real estate opportunities even in difficult marketsHow to define a successful September using things you can actually influenceWhy getting your rhythm back may be more valuable than expecting immediate transactionsHow to “recalculate” when your original plan, market or goals changeWhy there is still plenty of year left to create meaningful business momentum00:00 – Welcome to Highway 401The traffic story, the beige Corolla, switching lanes and why running a business can feel exactly the same. 04:00 – The Fall Market Is Here. Are You Actually Ready?September has arrived, but the calendar changing doesn't mean your habits, routines and business are automatically ready to go. 06:30 – What Slipped During the Summer?Database cleanup, follow-up, prospecting, content, planning and the routines that may have loosened up while you enjoyed summer. 09:15 – Stop Changing LanesWhy constantly copying what other Realtors are doing can disrupt your own momentum, and why your destination should determine your strategy. 10:55 – Commercial Break13:05 – What Are You Avoiding?The one thing you already know you should be doing over the next couple of weeks - and the real reasons you keep putting it off. 15:05 – Protect the Activities That Create BusinessWhy email, admin and social media will happily consume your entire day unless you deliberately protect conversations, follow-up, appointments and relationships. 18:10 – What Would a Good September Actually Look Like?Moving away from unrealistic transaction goals and focusing instead on reconnecting with people, building pipeline, booking appointments and getting your rhythm back. 20:50 – RecalculateWhat your GPS can teach you about adjusting when the market, your goals or your original plan changes - without having an existential crisis about it. 22:25 – Stop Preparing to PrepareWhy you don't need the perfect Fall Market plan before making the call, cleaning up the pipeline or creating something useful today. 24:45 – Your September Action PlanFive questions to identify what slipped, what matters, what's stealing your attention and where you want your business to be by September 30.The Fall Market isn't going to magically fix your business because the calendar says September.Your job is to get yourself moving again.Figure out what slipped over the summer, reconnect your daily activities to something you actually care about, protect the work that creates revenue and stop changing direction every time somebody else's lane looks faster.And when something genuinely isn't working?Recalculate.You don't need to spend September staring in the rear-view mirror at what you should have done earlier this year. There are still almost four months left, and that's a lot of time to create movement when you're focused on the right things.Related Episodes:Ep400 | Too Much Shit to Do?

What happens when the things you're naturally good at intersect with the things that give you energy?In this special episode of Transit Unplugged, Paul Comfort brings his new book, Find Your X Factor, to life through conversations with two leaders who found very different ways to turn their interests, abilities, and experiences into meaningful careers.First, Paul talks with Noah Berger, CEO of Merrimack Valley Transit, about the unlikely intersection of public transportation and the arts. Noah shares how his background as both a transit professional and an artist helped him rethink the rider experience—from brightly redesigned buses and murals to public spaces that feel more welcoming and connected to the communities they serve.But finding your X Factor isn't just about following your passions. Noah and Paul also discuss why mastering the less glamorous parts of the job—regulations, compliance, funding, and operations—builds the foundation and trust leaders need to eventually do things differently.Then, Rod Jones, Head of Modaxo Americas and ANZ, joins Paul to trace an X Factor that has followed him across industries: understanding complex systems and leading people through change. From growing up in Detroit and studying engineering to running manufacturing operations, working in private equity, and leading M&A (mergers & acquisitions) and operations at Modaxo, Rod explains how curiosity, problem-solving, communication became recurring threads throughout his career.Rod also offers a useful reminder for anyone still searching for their own X Factor: look for the things you naturally gravitate toward, the things other people consistently ask you for help with, and the abilities that may come so naturally that you don't even recognize them as strengths.And your X Factor isn't necessarily static. As Rod explains, it can evolve as you do.This is the first of two special Transit Unplugged podcast episodes featuring stories and lessons from Paul's new book, Find Your X Factor, alongside additional conversations coming to Transit Unplugged TV.In this episode:How Noah Berger combined his careers in transit and the artsWhy Merrimack Valley Transit used art, color, and design to change perceptions of public transportationWhy doing the "grunt work" can be essential to eventually doing your best workHow Rod Jones discovered a talent for understanding complex systems and leading people through changeWhy curiosity and problem-solving can transfer across industriesHow to recognize strengths you may be taking for grantedWhy your X Factor can change and evolve throughout your careerFind Your X Factor is available now. Paul will also be appearing at APTA EXPO (https://www.apta.com/event/apta-2026-transform-expo/)for book signings and special events.CreditsHost and Producer: Paul ComfortExecutive Producer: Julie GatesProducer: Chris O'KeeffeProduction Assistant: Desmond GatesEditor: Patrick EmileAssociate Producer: Cyndi RaskinBrand Design: Tina OlagundoyeProduction Assistant: Desmond GatesTransit Unplugged is brought to you by Modaxo, passionate about moving the world's people.For more information, visit: www.Transit Unplugged.comDisclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).

My guiding north star when I was a therapist working with kids (and grown-ups) was always helping them not just get to know their brain and how it works, but actually to develop a relationship with the parts of themselves that seemed to always be getting into trouble. It's not really just brain facts that are helpful to kids. Teaching them about their brain creates the possibility that they can develop a new relationship with their brain- and that's where the real magic starts to happen. In this episode you'll learn:Why understanding your kid's brain matters less than helping them build an actual relationship with it — one held by compassion and curiosity instead of judgmentWhat integration of consciousness and state integration mean, and why flexibility between an owl, watchdog, and possum state (or whatever your family calls them) is the real marker of changeWhy modeling this with your own watchdog and possum first gives your kid permission to risk doing the sameI'm teaching a live webinar on how to actually do this with your own kids on September 8 — and if you're already part of The Club, it's included, no extra registration needed.Resources mentioned in this podcast:Online Training!

Send us Fan Mail Being capable can open a lot of doors, but it can also keep us doing things long after they stop being right for us. In this episode, I'm exploring what happens when our strengths, talents, and even the things we're known for start becoming expectations we feel obligated to keep fulfilling.From career changes and leadership to running, entrepreneurship, and letting go of control, this is a conversation about separating what you're good at from what you actually want. If you've ever wondered whether you're ready to move on or simply going through a difficult season, this episode will help you ask better questions about what comes next.What You'll Learn:Why being capable can sometimes keep you stuckHow to tell frustration from genuinely wanting changeWhy letting go can create room for new growthKey Takeaways:Being good at something doesn't mean you owe your future to itYour strengths can become a comfort zoneThe goal isn't always to leave, but to intentionally chooseCall to Action:Think about something you continue doing largely because you're good at it or because others expect it from you. Ask yourself whether it still challenges, fulfills, or excites you. You don't have to make a dramatic change today, but give yourself permission to consider what you actually want next.Listen on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.______________________________You can find me here:Instagram: @gingerbizWebsite: https://www.katymurrayphotography.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TipsandTricksforyourbusinessX: https://twitter.com/GingerBizKMLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katy-murray-ginger-biz/
Send us Fan MailWhat does it mean to be the steady ground a child needs when life gets hard?After nearly five years of Healing Hearts, we're beginning a new chapter as Steady Ground Parenting—a podcast for parents raising children through hard seasons. But this rebrand goes beyond a new name. Rooted in the same belief that drives Speak Up For Kids, it's a deeper reflection of the work we've been doing all along: helping children and families impacted by foster care, trauma, adoption, and family disruption find the support, connection, and stability they need to grow. When we speak up and show up for children, we change lives.In this episode, we hear from two people whose lives have been shaped by foster care. Trish Zenczak, Director of Training and Impact at Speak Up for Kids, shares her story of growing up in foster care and how that experience shaped her work advocating for children, becoming a foster parent, and eventually adopting. She also explains the programs and community efforts through which Speak Up for Kids is mitigating trauma and cultivating self-worth in the lives of kids living in foster care.Then, Maddie Harris shares what it was like to experience foster care as a child, move through multiple homes, and eventually find stability with the family who adopted her. Her story shows what children in foster care need from the adults around them, and how consistency, encouragement, and simply refusing to walk away can change a child's life.These stories show that being steady ground doesn't mean always having everything figured out. It means showing up, listening, believing in a child, and finding practical ways to remind them that they matter. That's what it means to be the steady ground your child needs to grow.In This Episode:Why we're becoming Steady Ground ParentingTrish's experience growing up in foster care and how it shaped her life's workWhat foster care can feel like for a child experiencing uncertainty and changeWhy children impacted by foster care should be seen for who they are, not what they've gone throughHow consistency and stability can help children learn to trust againWhat Maddie's experience can teach parents about showing up for kids in their livesThe programs Speak Up for Kids uses to support children and familiesThe impact volunteers, students, and communities have on kids living in foster careWhy small moments of encouragement can build confidence, belonging, and hopeWhat it really means to become the steady ground a child can depend onThis is the beginning of Steady Ground Parenting. If you've been with us through Healing Hearts, thank you for continuing with us. If you're new here, welcome. We're here to help parents and caregivers feel more prepared to support children through hard seasons, giving them practical tools, tips, and strategies to become steady ground.Resources & Support:

What if the goal of great teaching isn't getting students to comply, but creating the conditions where they genuinely want to engage?In this episode of Leaning Into Leadership, Dr. Darrin Peppard sits down with educator, school leader, author, and founder of Terry Leadership Group, Kendall Terry, for a conversation about what happens when schools stop focusing primarily on what teachers are doing and start paying closer attention to what students are actually learning.Kendall shares his experience helping build Clayton-Bradley Academy from its early years and the unique opportunity that came with designing educational systems from the ground up. Rather than inheriting decades of “this is how we've always done it,” Kendall and his colleagues were able to ask a different question: What does research tell us about how the brain learns, and how should that change what happens in our classrooms?That question eventually helped shape the Learning-Centered School Model, where the learner—not the teacher, the curriculum, or the test—is at the center of instructional decisions. Kendall and Darrin explore what that actually looks like in practice, from something as simple as welcoming every student into the classroom to making learning relevant, interactive, safe, and meaningful.The conversation then moves into Kendall's BRACE Framework, five conditions that can dramatically influence engagement:B — Belonging: Students and teachers need to know they are valued and that their voices matter.R — Relevance: Learners need to understand what they are learning and why it matters.A — Agency: Students and teachers need autonomy, ownership, and opportunities to create, try, fail, and try again.C — Challenge: Learning should stretch people appropriately while providing the support necessary for success.E — Engaged Response: Learning isn't a one-and-done transaction. Students need opportunities to respond, receive feedback, revisit their thinking, and continue until they reach mastery.For school leaders, BRACE also provides another powerful opportunity: shifting classroom walkthroughs and instructional feedback away from simply looking for compliance and toward identifying the conditions that produce authentic student engagement. As Kendall points out, students can comply because they don't want to get in trouble—or they can engage because the learning experience is meaningful enough that they actually want to participate. Those are very different outcomes.Darrin and Kendall also dig into SMART habits and an important leadership truth: goals give us a destination, but habits determine whether we ever get there.The challenge isn't deciding that we want greater belonging, stronger engagement, or improved student achievement. The challenge is determining what we will actually do on a Tuesday afternoon when the fire drill just ended, students are bouncing off the walls, and the big strategic goal is the furthest thing from our minds.Kendall suggests starting incredibly small. Want to increase belonging? Build the habit of greeting every student by name. Then connect the behavior to a predictable trigger: If class is beginning, then I will greet every student who enters my classroom by name.Small. Repeatable. Intentional.And over time, potentially transformational.Finally, Kendall answers the question every guest on Leaning Into Leadership receives: How are you leaning into leadership right now?His answer is one every leader should consider: listening.Not listening while preparing the next response. Not listening long enough to tell someone why they're wrong. But listening with the genuine intention of understanding another person's perspective, experience, and situation.Because belonging begins when people believe their voice actually matters.In This EpisodeWhy student learning—not teacher performance—should be at the center of instructional decisionsHow brain research can influence everyday classroom practiceWhy greeting students and creating predictability matter more than we sometimes realizeThe difference between student compliance and genuine engagementKendall's BRACE Framework for increasing engagementHow belonging, relevance, agency, challenge, and engaged response work togetherWhy leaders can use BRACE to strengthen classroom walkthroughs and feedbackThe limitations of setting goals without intentionally developing habitsHow small, repeatable habits can create significant changeWhy leaders need to listen to understand instead of listening to respondConnect with Kendall Terry:Terry Leadership Group and the BRACE resources are available through Kendall's website, and he also shares his work on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.This Episode Is Sponsored by HeyTutorHeyTutor partners with schools and districts to provide high-impact, in-person tutoring in literacy and math, giving students targeted support alongside the work of classroom teachers.Learn more about how HeyTutor can support student learning in your school or district at HeyTutor.com.

Sometimes the most useful thing you can hear about your offers isn't that they're brilliant. It's where you're making things harder for yourself. In this episode, I'm giving you a quick offer strategy pep talk with five uncomfortable truths that might sting a tiny bit, but could also change the way you approach your offers.We're starting with patience, because constantly changing your offers means constantly starting the process of selling them all over again. Your audience needs time to understand what you sell, who it's for and why they should care. And while we're letting those offers settle, we also need to actually work on them. Offer strategy shouldn't suddenly become a priority when sales are quiet; your offers deserve the same ongoing attention you give your marketing, numbers and content.I'm also challenging the idea that an offer can ever really be “done”. Your clients change, the market changes, your expertise grows and the way you want to run your business evolves. The offer you're selling today probably won't look exactly the same three years from now, and that's a good thing. Instead of trying to create something perfect, the goal is to keep noticing where you could refine the delivery, improve the client experience, make things more efficient or strengthen the value.And finally, we need to talk about what you're spending your time on when you're not hitting your revenue goals. A new freebie, more Instagram posts or another little offer can feel productive, but sometimes they're a very convincing form of procrastination. When revenue needs your attention, your priority should be the offers most capable of generating it. Consider this your loving kick up the bum to stop fiddling around the edges and put your energy where your business actually needs it.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy constantly changing your offers makes selling harderWhy your offer strategy needs ongoing attentionThe improvements you could be making to delivery and client experienceWhy your offers will never truly be “finished”How your offers will naturally evolve as your business and the market changeWhy perfection is a particularly unhelpful goal in offer designThe non-revenue-generating activities that might be distracting youWhy your signature headliner offer deserves your attention when revenue is the priority“Every offer you create will take time to bed in.”Mentioned in this episode:Join DreamiumIf your offers don't quite make sense together or feel aligned with where your business is heading, you probably need an offer ecosystem.

Send us Fan MailWhat does success really mean if achieving it comes at the expense of your health?In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET, I'm joined by business strategist and entrepreneur Lisa Johnson for an honest conversation about chronic illness, ambition and the pressure to keep going—even when your body is asking you to stop.Lisa shares what it was like to build an extraordinarily successful business while dealing with persistent health problems and the uncertainty of not always knowing what was wrong. Despite feeling mentally motivated and capable, her body was telling a different story.We explore why financial success does not necessarily translate into happiness or wellbeing, and how Lisa began to reconsider what “enough” looked like—not only financially, but across her work, relationships and health.Lisa also discusses the small but significant changes she made to create a more sustainable life, the importance of asking for help and why being open about what we are experiencing can deepen relationships rather than weaken them.This is a thoughtful conversation about recognising when the way you are living is no longer working, listening to the signals your body is sending you and finding a version of success that leaves room for your health.In this episode, we discuss:Lisa's experience of managing chronic illness while building a multimillion-pound businessThe disconnect between feeling mentally well and being physically unwellWhy ambition can make it difficult to recognise—or respond to—the body's warning signsThe emotional impact of unexplained symptoms and diagnostic uncertaintyHow stress, pressure and perfectionism can affect our healthRedefining success beyond income, growth and external achievementThe question Lisa asked herself when deciding what needed to changeWhy one strategic change can sometimes have a positive effect across your entire lifeBalancing ambition with health, relationships and happinessThe value of authenticity, vulnerability and asking other people for supportLisa's advice for anyone considering leaving employment and starting a businessKey takeawayYour body can be struggling even when your mind feels ready to keep going.

What are your customers really buying?Often, it isn't the product, service, or even the experience itself. They are buying what they hope it will help them achieve, change, or become.In this episode of The Good Leadership Podcast, Charles Good talks with Joe Pine, bestselling author of The Experience Economy, about the next evolution of value creation: moving beyond memorable experiences to helping customers achieve meaningful, lasting transformation.Joe explains why leaders need to look beyond functional “jobs to be done” to understand the deeper aspirations customers are pursuing. He shares how asking the Five Whys can uncover those aspirations and why the type of change a customer seeks should determine how an organization designs the journey.The conversation also explores one of Joe's most useful distinctions: time well saved, time well spent, and time well invested. As Joe puts it, “The most precious resource is the time of individual human beings.” Experiences make time worth spending. Transformations make that time an investment in a better future.You'll also hear why genuine transformation is different from a powerful event or temporary improvement, why lasting change ultimately involves identity, and why Joe believes fostering human flourishing should be the purpose of every business.In this episode:The transformation economy and how it differs from the experience economyCustomer aspirations, Jobs to Be Done, and the Five WhysTime well saved, time well spent, and time well investedHow to distinguish lasting transformation from short-term changeWhy “experience design is the design of time”Identity change as the foundation of genuine transformationHow to diagnose the type of change customers actually seekThe four spheres of human flourishing: health, wealth, knowledge, and purposeWhy purpose and human flourishing belong in business strategyPractical ways leaders can design experiences and organizations for meaningful changeCHAPTERS00:00 Introduction to the transformation economy and its significance01:42 Joe Pine's background and journey into transformation economics03:27 Why customers buy means to an end, not just products04:42 Using the Five Whys to uncover customer aspirations07:01 Moving beyond functional jobs to aspirational jobs08:17 Distinguishing real transformations from events12:40 The importance of time as a core value in experiences16:59 Time well invested and the role of transformation19:53 Fostering human flourishing as the true purpose of business22:34 The four spheres of human flourishing and their overlap26:50 Designing for meaningful change and organizational purpose30:39 Practical steps for leaders to implement transformation strategiesSubscribe to The Good Leadership Podcast: [Apple Podcasts] | [Spotify] | [YouTube]LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/charlesagoodSubstack Channel (Outlearn to Outperform): charlesgood.substack.comLinkedIn Newsletter (The Outlearn Advantage): [Subscribe]The Institute for Management Studies

Every entrepreneur begins with a vision that no one else can fully see.Before there is a company, a customer, or a balance sheet, there is an individual willing to assume extraordinary risk for an idea that exists only in their imagination. In this foundational solo episode, Jay Doran introduces one of the central concepts in his philosophy of entrepreneurship: The Liar Lid Journey. It is a framework for understanding the internal transformation every entrepreneur undergoes as they build something that does not yet exist.Jay explains that entrepreneurs don't deceive maliciously—they must temporarily believe in a future reality before anyone else can. That willingness to "distort reality" is what allows innovation to emerge. It is also what makes entrepreneurship both exhilarating and dangerous. The same mindset that fuels vision, conviction, and growth can, if left unchecked, become the very force that limits or destroys an organization.In this episode, you'll discover:What the Liar Lid is and why every entrepreneur develops oneWhy entrepreneurship fundamentally changes the person building the businessHow vision requires believing in something others cannot yet seeWhy assuming risk transforms identity, relationships, and decision-makingThe hidden psychological cost of building organizationsHow entrepreneurs become accountable to far more than profits aloneWhy the same mechanism that creates innovation can also create destructionHow understanding the Liar Lid Journey can shorten the suffering that accompanies growth and changeWhy leadership begins long before anyone else believes in the visionThroughout the conversation, Jay reframes entrepreneurship as more than a business endeavor. It is a deeply human journey of identity, responsibility, sacrifice, and continual transformation. Organizations don't simply grow from products or services—they grow from the evolving psychology of the people courageous enough to bring them into existence.Whether you're an entrepreneur, an executive, an investor, or someone who works alongside visionary leaders, understanding the Liar Lid Journey offers a new lens through which to understand leadership itself.Because every business begins with an idea.But every enduring organization is shaped by the person willing to carry that idea long before the rest of the world believes it.
Questions? Feedback? Send us a text!Most technology projects in higher education don't fail because of the technology.They fail because institutions struggle to sustain the change required to make them successful.The software gets purchased. The implementation begins. Teams work hard. But somewhere between launch and long-term adoption, priorities shift, leadership changes, or attention moves to the next initiative before the original work delivers its full value.In this episode of Transformed, Higher Digital Co-founder and CEO Wayne Bovier sits down with Julia Arreguy, Chief Technology Officer at the California Community Colleges Technology Center, to explore why organizational change—not technology—is often the determining factor in institutional success.Working across the largest higher education system in the nation, supporting 115 colleges and more than two million students, Julia brings a unique perspective on technology leadership, institutional transformation, AI, and the realities of driving change at scale.This conversation centers on a simple but important idea:Technology challenges are difficult. Organizational challenges are what determine whether the work succeeds.Julia shares insights on:Why organizational alignment is often harder than the technology itselfHow leadership consistency influences long-term project successWhy many institutions abandon initiatives before realizing their intended outcomesHow AI is creating new urgency across higher educationWhy intentional adoption matters more than chasing the latest technology trendWhether institutional structures are prepared for accelerating changeThe leadership behaviors that build trust during periods of uncertaintyWhy supporting internal change-makers can accelerate transformationWhat new CIOs and technology leaders should understand before introducing major changeWhy higher education's people remain its greatest source of optimismThroughout the conversation, Julia offers a practical reminder that transformation isn't about launching more initiatives.It's about staying committed long enough to achieve the outcomes those initiatives were meant to deliver.This episode challenges a common assumption:Technology is rarely the biggest obstacle.The harder work is maintaining alignment, sustaining momentum, and helping people navigate change when the pressure continues to rise.If you're leading technology, operations, strategy, or institutional transformation, this conversation offers valuable insight into what it actually takes to move change forward—and keep it moving.Subscribe to Transformed for more conversations with higher education leaders navigating complexity, technology, and the future of the institution.Subscribe or follow TRANSFORMED wherever you listen, to get the latest episode when it drops and hear directly from leaders and innovators in higher ed tech and digital transformation best practices.Find and follow us on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/higher-digital-inc

Wright welcomes Reverend Kevin T. Taylor—affectionately known as “RevKev”—for a conversation about calling, leadership, change, and spiritual reinvention.Rev. Taylor shares how God shaped his journey from growing up in the church and accepting the call to preach at seventeen to serving as both a pastor and a corporate executive. These two worlds became the foundation for his book, A Charge to Keep: Immutable Leadership Lessons from the C-Suite to the Pulpit.Drawing from lived experience, Rev. Taylor explains why reaching a position of leadership can be easier than remaining faithful and effective once you are there. He also discusses the loneliness leaders experience, the importance of documenting decisions, and the wisdom of casting vision generously while budgeting conservatively.The conversation explores how leaders can guide people through change without becoming discouraged by resistance. Rev. Taylor explains that opposition does not necessarily mean the vision is wrong—people may simply be grieving what was as they prepare to embrace what will be.You'll also hear an encouraging message about wilderness seasons, the cost of the anointing, lifelong learning, and the necessity of reinventing ourselves without compromising our God-given calling.In This EpisodeHow Rev.

Make Math Moments Problem Based Lessons & Units Yvette's Summer Task List.Every school system wants to improve student achievement in mathematics. Yet when students struggle, the immediate response is almost always the same: more intervention, more support programs, more people working at the bottom of the cliff. While these efforts are essential, they often come at the expense of investing in the work that could prevent students from struggling in the first place.Using the classic "ambulance at the bottom of the cliff" parable, this episode explores why school systems consistently prioritize rescue over prevention. It's not because leaders don't believe in strong Tier 1 instruction—they do. The challenge is that prevention is harder to see, slower to measure, and more difficult to defend. We unpack why intervention feels more urgent, why leading indicators matter more than waiting for test scores, and how systems can make the invisible work of prevention visible through classroom evidence and instructional coherence.In this episode, you'll explore:Why intervention often receives more attention and funding than preventionThe "ambulance vs. fence" metaphor and what it means for math improvementWhy Tier 1 instructional coherence is the foundation of long-term successThe difference between leading and lagging indicators of improvementHow to measure instructional shifts before test scores changeWhy sustained professional learning outperforms one-off professional developmentPractical questions leaders can ask to rebalance investment toward preventionIf you're leading mathematics improvement in a school or district, this episode will challenge you to rethink where your time, resources, and attention are focused—and help you build stronger systems that prevent students from falling behind in the first place.Show Notes PageLove the show?

In this episode, I'm sharing why I believe retreats create transformation in a way that's difficult to replicate in everyday life—and why that insight became the foundation for my very first retreat.We'll explore why stepping away from your normal environment makes unconscious patterns easier to recognize, how overfunctioning disconnects us from ourselves, and why reconnecting with joy, curiosity, and play isn't frivolous—it's an essential part of healing.I also share how my own retreat experiences changed my life, why I intentionally designed this retreat differently, and how three months of integration coaching helps create lasting change instead of letting the experience become just another beautiful memory.In this episode, we discuss:Why changing your environment changes your perspectiveThe hidden ways overfunctioning disconnects you from yourselfWhy retreats make unconscious patterns easier to recognizeReconnecting with the parts of yourself buried beneath responsibilityHow Human Design helps you navigate the “messy middle” of changeWhy nervous system safety—not willpower—is what creates lasting transformationWhy this retreat includes three months of integration afterward
We all say we want peace.But what do we really mean?After my conversation with leadership coach and author Erika Alessandrini, I found myself reflecting on a question we never actually defined: What is the nature of peace?For much of my life, I thought peace was something waiting for me somewhere in the future—after the deadlines, after retirement, after life finally settled down.But what if peace isn't something we find?What if it's something we cultivate?In this Sound Bite, I explore what I've been learning about peace through my own life—from leaving corporate leadership, to creating art, to spending time with family, and discovering that perhaps peace isn't the absence of activity...It's the absence of inner conflict.Join me as we reflect on where peace really comes from and what changes when we stop looking outward for something that may already be growing within us.In this Sound Bite you'll explore:Why we often confuse peace with the absence of pressureThe surprising places where peace quietly appearsHow striving can continue even after our circumstances changeWhy peace may be less about what's happening around us and more about what's happening within usOne question to carry with you this week:What changes when we stop looking outward?Related Episode
Can people really change? It's a question we've all asked. Whether you've watched someone repeat the same self-sabotaging patterns, or you've struggled to transform your own life, there are times when real, lasting change can feel impossible.This episode is the first in my 6-part series teaching you the Life Mastery Method, and the first thing I want you to know is that change is possible. Anyone can change their life for the better, including you, and today we're exploring what that really means and the circumstances needed for change to happen. I've also created a companion worksheet to help you follow along with this episode, which you can download here.Change doesn't come from mindset alone, even though your thoughts are an important part of the process. Lasting change happens when you understand your mind, emotions, nervous system, and how they all work together. Transformation can feel difficult because we often focus on changing our thoughts without realizing that our emotional world and sense of safety play an equally important role.This is just the beginning of the journey, and I can't wait to dive deeper into the Life Mastery Method over the coming weeks. Let's get started!What you'll learn:A meaningful conversation I had with my son that reminded me why lasting change is always possibleHow the Transtheoretical Model views change as an ongoing process rather than a single eventWhy understanding your emotional patterns and nervous system is a powerful part of transformationHow your relationship with yourself is the most crucial piece of creating changeWhy your environment matters more than willpower when it comes to lasting changeYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireMaster Coach Training ApplicationGet the book: She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of The Masterful Coach CollectiveMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComHave a question or thoughts about the podcast?

For years we've been told that if fasting is good, then fasting longer must be better.That simply isn't true.Fasting is one of the most powerful healing tools we have, but it's also a stressor. Like exercise, the benefits don't come from the stress itself. They come from how well your body recovers afterward.In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy explains how to tell whether fasting is supporting your metabolism or pushing your nervous system beyond its limits. You'll learn the five green lights that signal your body is adapting well, the five red flags that tell you it's time to pull back, and simple ways to adjust your fasting practice based on your hormones, stress levels, and stage of life.Whether you're new to fasting or you've been doing it for years, this episode will help you stop guessing and start working with your body instead of against it.In this episode you'll learn:Why fasting is a beneficial stressor, but only in the right doseThe difference between metabolic stress and chronic stressHow your nervous system influences your fasting resultsFive signs fasting is working with your bodyFive red flags that indicate your fasting routine needs to changeWhy sleep, energy, hormones, and muscle are powerful feedback systemsHow to adjust your fasting practice based on your cycle and life stageThe importance of recovery, refeeding, and metabolic flexibilityWhy fasting should always be personalizedResources MentionedDr. Mindy's BooksReset AcademyBurn Fat Like a Girl: Your Natural GLP-1 ResetNervous System Free ResourceLMNTBEAM MineralsStandard Process EZ MagFor more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep350Connect with Dr. Mindy:Join Reset AcademyWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Dr. Mindy on InstagramSubscribe to Dr. Mindy's newsletterDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, I had an inspiring conversation with Lisa Yankie, Chief HR Officer at Odyssey Logistics, to unpack why the future of HR is not just about AI, technology, or transformation. It is about solving the right problems with the right people in the room.Lisa shares how her own journey, from humble beginnings to leadership across manufacturing, financial services, and mid-sized companies, shaped the way she leads today. Her experience gave her a broader lens on business, resilience, empathy, courage, and the value of taking chances when others open the door.Most importantly, Lisa explains why HR must stop acting like an afterthought. In her words, human capital is the business. As AI changes work, HR has a bigger role to play as the glue across functions, the challenger of old assumptions, and the function that helps organizations stay human while moving faster.

Steve sits down with Cindy Cohn, former Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, for a conversation about values, leadership, change, and knowing when it is time to make room for what comes next.Cindy has spent decades fighting for digital rights, privacy, free speech, and a better internet for the people who use it. Her career is a powerful example of what it means to stay grounded in your values while remaining flexible enough to adapt as the world changes around you.Cindy also shares a deeply personal look at her decision to step away from her leadership role at EFF. Not because the mission stopped mattering, but because she knew it was time to create space for the next chapter.In this episode, you'll hear about:What it means to be “growth ready”Building a career around values instead of a fixed titleLeading through constant changeWhy change should not be treated as a solo sportHow to protect the work that gives you energyThe importance of listening across an organizationCindy's transition out of EFF and into what comes nextHer book, Privacy's Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital SurveillanceWhether you are navigating transition, leading through uncertainty, or trying to reconnect with the work that fuels you, Cindy's story offers a thoughtful reminder: staying true to your values does not mean staying still.Listen now and ask yourself: What part of your work gives you energy right now?About the Guest:Cindy Cohn is a digital rights attorney and longtime leader in the fight for privacy, free expression, and civil liberties online.She served as Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) for a decade and spent 26 years helping shape the organization's work as the internet evolved—from early battles over encryption to today's questions around platform power, surveillance, and AI.Cindy is also the author of Privacy's Defender: My 30-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance (MIT Press).

Have you ever found yourself saying, "I don't have time for self-care" while continuing to say yes to everyone else?In this episode, Christina shares a personal story from a recent work trip that challenged her to choose what her body needed over what her ego wanted. It sparked a powerful realization: the biggest barrier to self-care isn't always a lack of time. More often, it's the habit of overriding our own needs. Together, you'll explore why high-achieving women become so practiced at putting themselves last, how those patterns become wired into the brain, and what it takes to interrupt them before burnout becomes the norm.Rather than asking you to overhaul your life, this episode offers a compassionate invitation to notice your patterns, build awareness, and practice small moments of intervention before you reach the point of exhaustion. If you've ever felt "comfortably miserable"—functioning well on the outside while quietly running on empty, this conversation will help you begin choosing yourself without guilt.In this episode:Why "I don't have time for self-care" is often a story rooted in habit, not realityHow high-achieving women become conditioned to override their own needsThe neuroscience behind familiar patterns and why they can be so difficult to changeWhy your brain prefers familiar discomfort over unfamiliar growthA personal story about choosing recovery over people-pleasing during a work tripHow to recognize when you're operating from obligation instead of intentionSmall, practical ways to interrupt the "override" pattern before burnout takes overYou don't have to wait until you're completely depleted to care for yourself. Sometimes the most courageous leadership decision you can make is choosing the thing your body needs, even when it feels uncomfortable.RESOURCES:SIGN UP FOR THE APP:https://www.christinamattisonyoga.com/lead-your-life-appConnect with me in the Strong and Resilient Woman Community on Facebook HERE (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yogaformilitarywomen)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themilitaryyogiPodcast Website: www.leadingwithheartpodcast.comSHOW NOTES: https://www.christinamattisonyoga.com/blog/episode95Connect with me in the Strong and Resilient Woman Community on Facebook HERE (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yogaformilitarywomen), or on Instagram @themilitaryyogiMore about Christina Mattison and the Leading with Heart PodcastHey there!

Make Math Moments Problem Based Lessons & Units Many schools want to improve math instruction, but few have a clear process for deciding what to focus on, how to measure progress, and how to align professional learning around a shared vision. Without that clarity, improvement efforts can quickly become fragmented and difficult to sustain.What does it actually look like to bring an entire math team together and build a plan for improvement from the ground up? In this episode, we unpack a real three-day process used with a middle and high school math department to co-create a vision for mathematics, identify priority areas for growth, define success criteria, and establish structures for ongoing professional learning. Rather than starting with programs or initiatives, the work began with a shared understanding of the student experience they wanted to create—and the specific shifts needed to move toward that vision.
