What happens when your personal evolution begins to stretch the space between you and your partner? In this deeply honest and compassionate conversation, Emily sits down with feminist marriage coach Maggie Reyes to explore what she calls The Growth Gap, the tension that arises when one partner is actively growing, healing, or awakening, while the other clings to what feels safe, familiar, or expected.Together, they unpack how to navigate seasons of self-discovery, faith shifts, and identity work without losing connection or abandoning yourself. Maggie introduces her signature “Power of One” philosophy, rooted in systems theory, which teaches that when one person in a relationship changes, the entire dynamic begins to shift. Through humor, real-life stories, and grounded examples, she offers practical tools for honoring your transformation while creating deeper intimacy, even when your partner isn't “doing the work.”They discuss what it means to “go first,” how to recognize the difference between fear and disrespect, and how to communicate your growth in ways that invite curiosity instead of defensiveness. Maggie also shares powerful re-frames around resentment, compassion, and the myth that both partners must grow at the same pace or in the same way.Whether you're deconstructing long-held beliefs, exploring new layers of yourself, or simply feeling the growing pains of change within your relationship, this conversation is a breath of relief and a roadmap for love that expands instead of contracts.In this episode, we explore:What The Growth Gap is and why it happens when one partner evolves and the other resists changeHow to honor your personal growth without abandoning your relationship or yourselfMaggie's “Power of One” framework and how one person's transformation can shift the entire relationshipThe myth that partners must grow at the same pace (and what actually sustains long-term connection)How to communicate your insights and new awareness without triggering defensivenessThe difference between fear, indifference, and contempt, and how to know which you're facingWhat to do when your growth brings up tension around faith, identity, or worldview differencesThe mindset of “I go first” and why it's key for creating healthy changeWhy curiosity, consent, and compassion are essential for meaningful conversationsHow to know when growth differences are workable, and when they signal deeper misalignmentBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Maggie:Download The Growth Gap Workshop, a free resource for when you're evolving and your partner isn't on the same pathListen to The Marriage Life Coach PodcastExplore her self-study program, The Marriage Mindset MakeoverLearn about Private CoachingCheck out her bestselling book, Questions for Couples JournalFollow on Instagram: @themaggiereyesVisit her website: maggiereyes.comConnect with Emily:Website:

The UK stock market is often dismissed as stagnant, but as Simon Murphy, manager of the VT Tyndall Unconstrained UK Income fund explains, that perception doesn't tell the full story. In conversation with Darius McDermott, Simon discusses the surprising strength of the FTSE, the undervalued potential of mid and small-cap companies, and why he believes the UK economy is far more resilient than many assume. They also look ahead to the upcoming Budget, potential tax changes, and what all this could mean for investors. With insights on valuations, domestic opportunities, and industrial recovery themes, this is a must-listen for anyone rethinking their UK investment outlook.What's covered in this episode: Why the FTSE is quietly outperforming global markets in 2025The gap between perception and realityWhat's really holding back mid and small-cap stocks?…and why that might changeWhy the UK economy is more resilient than the headlines suggestHow strong corporate and consumer balance sheets are supporting growthWhat to expect from the upcoming UK BudgetThe case for optimismWhy fear in the market could create opportunityKey themes driving Simon's fundExamples of companies thriving despite economic uncertaintyWhy sentiment may shift and which investors could benefit firstMore about this fund: VT Tyndall Unconstrained UK Income is a high conviction, highly differentiated mid-cap focused UK income fund.

A Hospital Without Walls: Redefining Healing with Dr. Ross EllenhornGuest: Dr. Ross Ellenhorn, CEO of EllenhornWebsite: https://www.ellenhorn.comIn this thought-provoking episode of Linda's Corner, we're joined by Dr. Ross Ellenhorn—pioneering psychiatrist, sociologist, and CEO of Ellenhorn—to explore a radical reimagining of mental health care. Dr. Ellenhorn has created what he calls a “hospital without walls,” offering community-integrated services that honor autonomy, human dignity, and the healing power of social support.Together, we dive into threat assessment theory, which views life's difficulties as either challenges or threats—and how that perspective shifts based on the resources we believe we have. Many people avoid looking inward because it feels like a threat, not a challenge. But when we are surrounded by supportive relationships and people who believe in us, our self-efficacy grows. We begin to say, “I can do this.”Key Topics Discussed:The dangers of the “fix-it” model in psychological careWhy true healing requires respecting a person's autonomyThe importance of collaborative relationships in creating changeWhy change is a choice—and how people resist it because staying the same feels saferThe role of social support in helping people want to changeUnderstanding the fear of hope and how it's really the fear of disappointmentMoving from “What's wrong with me?” to “What happened to me?”Why depression is not a trait, but a temporary state that can be changedHow treating people with respect and viewing them as the experts of their own lives creates the conditions for transformationDr. Ellenhorn's work challenges traditional models and invites us into a more compassionate, empowering approach to mental health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in healing, hope, and human potential.Connect with Dr. Ross Ellenhorn:

If you've ever wondered why you should keep praying when nothing seems to change—or felt like your prayers are just hitting a brick wall—this episode is for you.When you're married to an alcoholic, it's easy to feel hopeless and wonder: What's the point of praying if God is going to do what He wants anyway?In this heartfelt episode, we'll talk about:Why prayer isn't about controlling outcomes—but about anchoring your soulHow prayer shifts our focus and brings strength when circumstances don't changeWhy even Jesus prayed for a different outcome—and what that means for usWhat to pray for when you don't even have the words anymoreFriend, your prayers are not wasted.

Feeling like your old identity is falling away, but the new one isn't fully formed yet? You're not alone—you're right on time. In this enlightening and incredibly timely episode, Samantha is joined by expert astrologer Alicia to give you the ultimate "cheat code" for navigating the massive energetic shifts of 2025. They dive deep into why this year is so pivotal, with multiple generational planets changing signs, and what the current Virgo-Pisces eclipse season is asking of all of us: to SURRENDER.This conversation is your guide to understanding the cosmic forces at play. Alicia breaks down the powerful themes of this eclipse season—releasing the lower vibrations of Virgo (perfectionism, self-criticism, over-complication) and stepping into the high-frequency energy of Pisces (compassion, spirituality, one-consciousness). They discuss why these astrological shifts are perfectly aligned with the collective's move toward a new paradigm of leadership, the "flattening of structures," and the rise of the "New Earth." If you're ready to stop resisting, lean into the messy middle, and use this potent energy to uplevel your life, this episode is your anchor.

In this eye-opening episode of An Educated Guest, host Todd Zipper sits down with Matt Sigelman, CEO of the Burning Glass Institute, to decode the seismic shifts occurring in the labor market. Matt shares data-driven insights from his groundbreaking research, including the "experience paradox," which reveals why so many entry-level jobs now demand prior experience, and what that means for recent college graduates.The conversation delves into the accelerating pace of skill obsolescence, the rise of AI, and how these forces are creating a critical disconnect between what employers need and what education provides. Matt introduces the concept of the "Expertise Upheaval," offering a look at how AI is transforming careers and what skills will make workers more valuable with AI, not just more efficient. He also makes a compelling case for greater accountability in education, using data to show which credentials and programs actually lead to a real return on investment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the data, trends, and solutions that will shape the workforce of tomorrow.Key Takeaways from this Episode:The Experience Paradox: A deep dive into the data showing that most entry-level jobs now require several years of experience, and the implications for hiring and education.The Pace of Change: Why skills are becoming obsolete faster than ever, and how this is impacting career trajectories and the need for lifelong learning.The "Expertise Upheaval": An exploration of how AI is not just about automation, but about a more profound shift in the skills required to be an expert in any given field.Education-to-Workforce Accountability: How data can be used to hold colleges and credential providers accountable, ensuring that programs lead to real-world outcomes and economic mobility.A New Kind of Workforce: Matt discusses the shift from a "schooled society" to a "learning society," and how we must prepare for a future where learning is a continuous, lifelong process.About Our Guest:Matt Sigelman is the CEO of the Burning Glass Institute, a fully independent, nonprofit research center that works at the intersection of work and learning. Prior to the Institute, he spent 20 years building a private sector data provider (now called Lightcast). Matt is a recognized leader in using big data to shed light on labor market trends, inform policy, and drive economic mobility.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereNo one would try to stream a 4K video on a '95 Windows computer—but in the auto industry, we're still trying to lead today's transformation with leadership models built decades ago.That's the hard truth Jan puts on the table in this conversation with Terry Woychowski, President of Caresoft and former GM executive. Together, they unpack what's holding the industry back—and it's not a shortage of technology or talent. It's the culture. It's the leadership.Terry walks through real examples of how legacy systems get in the way—from product specs that haven't been questioned in decades to organizational structures that reward risk avoidance over innovation. He compares that with how Chinese OEMs are approaching development differently. They make faster decisions, rely less on in-house development, and focus on speed and learning rather than perfection. They're not immune to fear, he says, but they don't let it dictate the pace of progress.But this isn't just a teardown of bad habits. Terry zooms in on what good leadership looks like today. It's not command-and-control. It's mission-first, culturally aware, and brutally honest. It's being willing to get "dragged across the hone"—his metaphor for the painful but necessary growth process. Because leaders who avoid discomfort? They stay dull.There's also accountability. Terry learned it early, growing up on a dairy farm, where cows—and their mess—don't wait for permission. You get the job done, period. That same mindset carried him through the plant floor at GM, where he once let loose in a way he thought would end his career, only to be welcomed with applause. Not because he lost his temper, but because he finally spoke the language of the plant.Jan and Terry talk honestly about the cultural gaps that legacy auto still hasn't closed. Technology? Finance? Those are solvable. However, if the leadership culture stays frozen in time, no investment will be enough.In the end, one thing is clear: you can't lead the future of automotive using the same culture that got you here. If the industry wants to survive the disruption ahead, it needs leaders willing to question everything, especially the way things have always been done.Themes discussed in this episode:The need to replace outdated leadership models to compete in the EV eraThe culture gap between Chinese OEMs and traditional automakersWhy true leaders embrace discomfort—and what happens when they don'tThe cultural transformation needed to support EV and software-defined vehicle innovationThe importance of fast decision-making in today's global auto marketWhy cultural alignment matters more than strategy when leading changeWhy the auto industry needs focused leadership amid rising global competitionFeatured guest: Terry WoychowskiWhat he does: Terry J. Woychowski is the President of Caresoft Global, a leading automotive engineering, benchmarking, and consulting firm. At Caresoft, he has played a pivotal role in driving strategic growth, developing next-generation solutions, and mentoring the global leadership team.Terry brings over four decades of automotive experience, including a distinguished career at General Motors, where he held senior leadership roles such as Global Vice President of Program Management and Quality & Vehicle Launch.
