In this episode of The FACTS Podcast, Stephen Boyce breaks down the Vatican's newest doctrinal note, Mater Populi Fidelis, issued by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith in November 2025. This document reaffirms Christ as the sole Mediator while clarifying the Church's language about Mary's cooperation in redemption and her unique maternal role in the life of the Church.We examine why the Vatican discourages titles such as Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces, how this statement fits into historic Marian teaching, and what it means for theology, devotion, and ecumenical dialogue going forward.Article: https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20251104_mater-populi-fidelis_en.html#FACTSPodcast #StephenBoyce #MaterPopuliFidelis #VaticanDocument #MarianDoctrine #Mariology #CatholicTeaching #MaryAndSalvation #VaticanClarification #DoctrinalNote #CatholicTheology #MaryMotherOfGod

In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Stephen Liu, MD, about the potential role for zidesamtinib (NVL-520) for the treatment of patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring ROS1 rearrangements. Dr Liu is an associate professor of medicine at Georgetown University, as well as the director of Thoracic Oncology and head of Developmental Therapeutics at the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center in Washington, DC. In our exclusive interview, Dr Liu discussed the current standards and challenges for treating patients with ROS1-positive disease, the unique mechanism of action of zidesamtinib, and how positive findings from the phase 1/2 ARROS-1 trial (NCT05118789) may help position this agent in the ROS1-positive NSCLC treatment paradigm.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with scientist-turned-career strategist Caroline Sangal, founder of Next Success and host of Your Next Success. Caroline breaks down mental fitness, resilience, and career alignment—how high achievers can stop chasing external markers and start designing work that supports health, relationships, and meaning. She shares her own pivot from R&D and executive recruiting, the neuroscience behind upgrading unhelpful mental “operating systems,” and practical steps to pause, assess, and realign.   About the guest  : Caroline Sangal, PhD is a former chemical industry R&D leader and executive recruiter who now guides professionals through evidence-based career transitions. She blends data, discernment, and empathy in her Next Success Method, integrating natural abilities, communication style, mental fitness, and a life-first career vision.   Key takeaways : Mental fitness = response under stress. It's the trained ability to respond rather than react when plans derail (e.g., the “late dinner order” story). Upgrade the OS. Many adults run childhood-formed mental patterns (people-pleasing, hyper-control, hyper-achieve). These can be retrained via targeted practice and micro-exercises. Resilience is trainable. Like strength training, repeated cognitive drills build calmer, clearer responses and better decisions in interviews, leadership, and home life. Life vision first, career second. Clarify eight factors—stage, abilities, skills, interests, personal style, communication behavior, family context, goals/values—then align roles accordingly. Spot self-sabotage. Use assessments to identify dominant “saboteurs” (e.g., hyper-vigilant, pleaser, victim) and replace them with constructive mental habits. Listen to the body. Ignoring stress shows up as health and relationship costs; realignment improves well-being and presence with family. Start now: Pause → Assess → Act. Audit daily energy givers/drainers; visualize a life you actually want; take one aligned action this week.Community-Guidelines Check: The transcript contains no content that violates YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn community standards.

Sometimes a setback does more than stop you; it reroutes you. Petra Zink is a Brand & Business Growth Strategist, Keynote Speaker, and Author who helps executives and founders turn their reputation into scalable revenue. She's the founder of impaCCCt and The360Talent.Co, host of the Trusted Authority™ Podcast, and author of Trusted Authority: From Unknown to Known. Originally from Austria, Petra has been living in Australia for 16 years after coming for a six-month stay. Her journey started after being put on a performance improvement plan instead of getting the promotion she expected. Petra developed the impaCCCt framework based on a simple observation: when she asked recruitment candidates what they wanted, they all said "I want to make an impact," but few could explain what that actually looked like. Petra turned that insight into a challenge: how do you turn something so abstract into a process anyone can follow? The result was her impaCCCt framework, built around three pillars—Clarify, Communicate, and Commercialize. Petra also shares why foundation work is essential, how she condensed her program into an intensive full-day immersion, and why working out loud with experiments beats playing it safe.  Key Takeaways: Your Beliefs Plus Your Behavior Build Your Brand. If you don't believe you're good enough, you won't take the actions to reshape how you're seen. Get Reps In Before Seeking Perfection. Start with small experiments rather than waiting for the perfect business model. The Three O's of Credibility Matter.  Build your own credibility. Tap into other people's credibility through association. Create on-the-go credibility by working out loud. Foundation Work Is Unsexy But Essential. Positioning yourself takes time and isn't visible, but without it, your marketing assets mean nothing. Speed Creates Better Results. The faster you get assets out there, the quicker you get feedback to refine what works. Work Out Loud With Stretch Goals. Set ambitious experiments and document the journey publicly so people can help you.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on the White House stand on nuclear testing.

Leaders, you might call it flexibility, but your team calls it chaos. Tammy J. Bond cuts through the "hybrid fantasy" that believes simple Slack chats can replace connection, clarity, and collaboration. She exposes the silent culture split created by hybrid models, arguing that failure is rooted not in location, but in disconnection and unstable leadership. This episode provides the strategic framework for leaders to start intentionally engineering trust to make hybrid work successful. Key Leadership Insights & Hard Truths: The Hybrid Fantasy: The belief that a few Zoom calls and Slack channels can organically thread connection and clarity is false. Studies show this level of casual connection does not suffice. The Culture Split: Hybrid work creates division. Office workers resent remote workers (assuming they work less), and remote workers feel invisible and disconnected from impromptu "hallway decisions." The Core Problem: Hybrid teams fail because of disconnection, not location. Leaders often confuse visibility (screen time) with actual productivity and meaningful engagement. The Unstable Wi-Fi is You: "It's not the Wi-Fi that's unstable in their work environment, it's your leadership connection to them." The Danger of Over-Accommodation: Leaders often say yes to every schedule to "keep the peace," under-communicate, and mismanage accountability, leading to performance issues and the language of assumption ("I thought you meant," "I assumed"). Friendship is Not a Strategy: Leader, you haven't changed you yet. Simply offering a hybrid model won't work if you haven't sharpened your own leadership skills in setting clear expectations. 4 Pillars of Intentional Hybrid Leadership: Re-establish Shared Rhythm (Not Just Scheduling): Replace random meetings with rituals (e.g., Monday Momentum check-ins, Friday Feedback sessions, a 30-second Praise Celebration). Use communication tools for quick, bottom-line check-ins, not endless dialogues. Define Outcomes, Not Hours: If you are measuring success by online status or screen time, "you're running a daycare, not a business." Clarify what "done well" and "complete" looks like, using the simple SBI+E Model (Situation, Behavior, Impact, Expectation) for performance feedback. Rebuild Connection Intentionally: Hybrid trust must be engineered on purpose. This involves celebrating small wins out loud, pairing up office/remote partners, and creating non-meeting connection moments (like a remote "Drink and Think"). Stop Letting Convenience Replace Courage: You must have the bold conversations. Ask what's working/not working, and if a hybrid worker claims higher productivity, tie it to an objective desk audit of project updates, timelines, and KPIs. Shut up and listen, then ask the next best follow-up question. Actionable Challenge for Leaders: Your job this week is to define the rules of your Hybrid Sandbox before chaos defines them for you: Audit your team's rhythms. Clarify expectations in one single conversation. Have your team email you back what they heard you say and what you can count on them for. Create one connection moment that does not involve another meeting (e.g., a team "drink (coffee/tea) & think" session).

I didn't plan to make a video today. I'd just wrapped a client call, remembered that OpenAI had released Atlas, and decided to record a quick unboxing for my Fireside PM community.I'd heard mixed things—some people raving about it, others underwhelmed—but I made a deliberate choice not to read any reviews beforehand. I wanted to go in blind, the way an actual user would.Within 30 minutes, I had my verdict: Atlas earns a C+.It's ambitious, it's fast, and it hints at a radical new way to experience the web. But it also stumbles in ways that remind you just how fragile early AI products can be—especially when ambition outpaces usability.This post isn't a teardown or a fan letter. It's a field report from someone who's built and shipped dozens of products, from scrappy startups to billion-user platforms. My goal here is simple: unpack what Atlas gets wrong, acknowledge what it gets right, and pull out lessons every PM and product team can use.The Unboxing ExperienceWhen I first launched Atlas, I got the usual macOS security warning. I'm not docking points for that—this is an MVP, and once it hits the Mac App Store, those prompts will fade into the background.There was an onboarding window outlining the main features, but I barely glanced at it. I was eager to jump in and see the product in action. That's not a unique flaw—it's how most real users behave. We skip the instructions and go straight to testing the limits.That's why the best onboarding happens in motion, not before use. There were some suggested prompts which I ignored but I would've loved contextual fly-outs or light tooltips appearing as I explored past the first 30 seconds of my experience:* “Try asking Atlas to summarize this page.”* “Highlight text to discuss it.”* “Atlas can compare this to other sources—want to see how?”Small, progressive cues like these are what turn exploration into mastery.The initial onboarding screen wasn't wrong—it was just misplaced. It taught before I cared. And that's a universal PM lesson: meet users where their curiosity is, not where your product tour is.When Atlas StumbledAtlas's biggest issue isn't accuracy or latency—it's identity.It doesn't yet know what it wants to be. On one hand, it acts like a browser with ChatGPT built in. On the other, it markets itself as an intelligent agent that can browse for you. Right now, it does neither convincingly.When I tried simple commands like “Summarize this page” or “Open the next link and tell me what it says,” the experience broke down. Sometimes it responded correctly; other times, it ignored the context entirely.The deeper issue isn't technical—it's architectural. Atlas hasn't yet resolved the question of who's driving. Is the user steering and Atlas assisting, or is Atlas steering and the user supervising?That uncertainty creates friction. It's like co-piloting with someone who keeps grabbing the wheel mid-turn.Then there's the missing piece that could make Atlas truly special: action loops.The UI makes it feel like Atlas should be able to take action—click, save, organize—but it rarely does. You can ask it to summarize, but you can't yet say “add this to my notes” or “book this flight.” Those are the natural next steps in the agentic journey, and until they arrive, Atlas feels like a chat interface masquerading as a browser.This isn't a criticism of the vision—it's a question of sequencing. The team is building for the agentic future before the product earns the right to claim that mantle. Until it can act, Atlas is mostly a neat wrapper around ChatGPT that doesn't justify replacing Chrome, Safari, or Edge.Where Atlas ShinesDespite the friction, there were moments where I saw real promise.When Atlas got it right, it was magical. I'd open a 3,000-word article, ask for a summary, and seconds later have a coherent, tone-aware digest. Having that capability integrated directly into the browsing experience—no copy-paste, no tab-switching—is an elegant idea.You can tell the team understands restraint. The UI is clean and minimal, the chat panel is thoughtfully integrated, and the speed is impressive. It feels engineered by people who care about quality.The challenge is that all of this could, in theory, exist as a plugin. The browser leap feels premature. Building a full browser is one of the hardest product decisions a company can make—it's expensive, high-friction, and carries a huge switching cost for users.The most generous interpretation is that OpenAI went full browser to enable agentic workflows—where Atlas doesn't just summarize, but acts on behalf of the user. That would justify the architecture. But until that capability arrives, the browser feels like infrastructure waiting for a reason to exist.Atlas today is a scaffolding for the future, not a product for the present.Lessons for Product ManagersEven so, Atlas offers a rich set of takeaways for PMs building ambitious products.1. Don't Confuse Vision with MVPYou earn the right to ship big ideas by nailing the small ones. Atlas's long-term vision is compelling, but the MVP doesn't yet prove why it needed to exist. Start with one unforgettable use case before scaling breadth.2. Earn Every Switch CostChanging browsers is one of the highest-friction user behaviors in software. Unless your product delivers something 10x better, start as an extension, not a replacement.3. Design for Real Behavior, Not Ideal BehaviorMost users skip onboarding. Expect it. Plan for it. Guide them in context instead of relying on their patience.4. Choose a Metaphor and CommitAtlas tries to be both browser and assistant. Pick one. If you're an assistant, drive. If you're a browser, stay out of the way. Users shouldn't have to guess who's in control.5. Autonomy Without Agency Frustrates UsersIt's worse for an AI to understand what you want but refuse to act than to not understand at all. Until Atlas can take meaningful action, it's not an agent—it's a spectator.6. Sequence Ambition Behind ValueThe product is building for a world that doesn't exist yet. Ambition is great, but the order of operations matters. Earn adoption today while building for tomorrow.Advice for the Atlas TeamIf I were advising the Atlas PM and design teams directly, I'd focus on five things:* Clarify the core identity. Decide if you're an AI browser with ChatGPT or a ChatGPT agent that uses a browser. Everything else flows from that choice.* Earn the right to replace Chrome. Give users one undeniably magical use case that justifies the switch—research synthesis, comparison mode, or task execution.* Fix the metaphor collision. Make it obvious who's in control: human or AI. Even a “manual vs. autopilot” toggle would add clarity.* Build action loops. Move from summarization to completion. The browser of the future won't just explain—it will execute.* Sequence ambition. Agentic work is the destination, but the current version needs to win users on everyday value first.None of this is out of reach. The bones are good. What's missing is coherence.Closing ReflectionAtlas is a fascinating case study in what happens when world-class technology meets premature positioning. It's not bad—it's unfinished.A C+ isn't an insult. It's a reminder that potential and product-market fit are two different things. Atlas is the kind of product that might, in a few releases, feel indispensable. But right now, it's a prototype wearing the clothes of a platform.For every PM watching this unfold, the lesson is universal: don't get seduced by your own roadmap. Ambition must be earned, one user journey at a time.That's how trust is built—and in AI, trust is everything.If you or your team are wrestling with similar challenges—whether it's clarifying your product vision, sequencing your roadmap, or improving PM leadership—I offer both 1:1 executive and career coaching at tomleungcoaching.com and expert product management consulting and fractional CPO services through my firm, Palo Alto Foundry.OK.

This is a unique look at whiskey from another lens. To almost see it in a different light. I need alot of feed back on this. And by all means i hope you enjoy. KYSUThe new frontier of whiskey: Kick off the segment by discussing the recent formal recognition of American single malt by the TTB. As of January 19, 2025, it is an official whiskey category. This is a huge milestone for American distilling and an exciting time to be exploring these whiskies.A "wild west" of flavor: One of the most exciting things about American single malt is the variety of flavors. Unlike the strict rules of Scotch, American distillers have been free to experiment with different cask types, wood smoke (like mesquite), and aging locations, leading to a much more diverse flavor profile.The barrel difference: American single malts are not limited to the used barrels required for Scotch. They can be aged in new charred oak, used bourbon barrels, or even experimental casks like port, sherry, or wine. Ask your co-hosts how this freedom affects the flavor profile and what their favorite aging methods are.Founding fathers of American single malt: Pay homage to the trailblazers who started it all. Mention Steve McCarthy of Clear Creek Distillery in Oregon, who is widely credited with producing the first American single malt back in 1996. Other influential distilleries to highlight include Westland and Stranahan's.Fun facts and triviaMore than Scotland: There are over 200 distilleries in the U.S. producing some form of single malt, which is more than in all of Scotland.Speed-aging in America: Due to the more dramatic temperature swings across the country, American single malts can mature more quickly than their Scottish counterparts. The climate, whether hot and dry in Texas or humid in Virginia, has a significant impact on how the whisky tastes.Mesquite-smoked whiskey: While peat is the traditional smoke source for Scotch, some American single malt producers, like Santa Fe Spirits, use local ingredients. They use mesquite wood to smoke their Colkegan Single Malt, creating a distinct, barbecue-like flavor.Single versus blended: Clarify the "single" in American single malt. It means the whiskey was distilled entirely at one U.S. distillery, unlike a blended whiskey, which mixes whiskeys from different distilleries.Tasting notes and flavor comparisonsSide-by-side with Scotch: A great segment idea is to do a blind tasting of an American single malt and a Scotch single malt. Discuss the differences, such as the American's potential notes of caramel and vanilla from new oak versus a Scotch's more subtle oak influence.The impact of a hot climate: Talk about American single malts from different regions. For example, a whisky from Texas (like Balcones) might offer a richer, bolder flavor due to the intense heat, while one from the cooler Pacific Northwest (like Westland) might taste more like a classic Scotch.The barley difference: The type of barley used also matters. Some distillers use specific varieties like Golden Promise or heirloom barley, contributing distinct character. For instance, you can mention New Riff Distillery's use of multiple barley mash bills for their sour mash single malt.The barrel finish: Discuss the wide variety of cask finishes. American single malts can have unique notes from being finished in rum, wine, or sherry barrels. Virginia Distillery Co. is known for its "Courage & Conviction" Double Cask Reserve, aged in bourbon and red wine casks.Debate and discussion topicsAmerican terroir: Ask your co-hosts whether they believe American single malt exhibits a true "terroir" or sense of place. Do they think the location of the distillery and ingredients creates a unique regional style, or is it more about the distiller's techniques?

Rediscovering yourself after divorce—especially during midlife and menopause—can feel overwhelming. When decades of partnership end, you're left asking: Who am I now? What do I really want? And if you're thinking about dating again, how do you navigate desire, boundaries, and intimacy in this completely new chapter?Dr. Jasmonae Joyriel, licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Ignite Anew, helps high-performing individuals and couples transform their relationships, friendships, and sex lives. A Spelman alumna with advanced degrees from Northwestern University and the University of Denver, she brings nearly a decade of experience across mental health centers, VA hospitals, and private practice. Specializing in how past experiences shape present needs, Dr. Joyriel offers a holistic, evidence-based, and embodied approach that goes beyond mindset to create mind-health. She delivers personalized therapy, couples work, and immersive retreats that empower clients to navigate sex, dating, friendships, and personal growth with depth and lasting fulfillment.Highlights from our discussion include:Before entering the dating world, reconnect with who you are now—not who you were in your twenties or thirties. Explore what brings you to life, revisit shelved dreams, and give yourself permission to want what you truly desire. If you don't know how to date yourself, you can't authentically date someone else.You're ready when you're dating because it adds to your life (not anchors it), when you've identified your contribution to past relationship dynamics, and when you can articulate how you want to date—casually, for commitment, or somewhere in between. Dating should feel like "sprinkles on top," not the whole pie.Your values have likely evolved since your last relationship. Clarify what matters now: What does generosity look like in a partner? What inspires you versus deprives you? Defining these before dating ensures your compass points north every time.Menopause, body changes, and shifting desire call for a more expansive "erotic pantry." Move beyond penetrative sex to include sensual massage, kissing, touch, and varied forms of pleasure. Consent isn't binary—it's created fresh each time by asking, "What do I want to do today?"Have adult conversations about sexual health, testing, and relationship structures within the first few dates. Discuss these topics in non-sexual settings (over coffee, during a walk) so decisions aren't made in heated moments. Your safety and agency matter, and the right partner will respect that.CONNECT WITH DR JASMONAE JOYRIEL:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInCONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with Gabriella! The information shared on Pleasure in the Pause is for educational and informational purposes onGo to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

Burnout has become the quiet epidemic of modern work. We tell people to “set better boundaries” or “take more time off,” but the real problem isn't a lack of self-care—it's that most organizations are designed to exhaust their people. Fear-based cultures, unclear priorities, and performative busyness have turned overwork into a badge of honor, leaving even the most capable teams running on fumes. In this episode, Rodney and Sam unpack the systemic roots of burnout and why it thrives inside traditional hierarchies. They explore how teams accidentally reinforce it, how leaders unknowingly reward it, and share real steps to change the system instead of blaming individuals. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization? ⁠Let's talk.⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠ Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Mentioned references: "77% of professionals feel burned out" Prisoner's dilemma Theory Y "American teen experiences as much anxiety as 1950s psych patient" "job market hellscape article" Herbert Freudenberger and 12 stages of burnout "4 day workweek better human outcomes" 00:00 Intro + Check-In: What'a silly or inconsequential project to you've done just for fun? 03:23 The Pattern: Systemic burnout keeps being met with individual solves, which leads to more burnout 08:21 Team burnout red flag 1: Overhelptfulness 11:10 Team burnout red flag 2: Defeatism 14:04 Team burnout red flag 3: Procrastination 16:44 Team burnout red flag 4: Overwork on busywork 20:41 Team burnout red flag 5: Impatience 23:35 Burnout is tied to short-termism and fear 27:30 Bureaucracy and gaslighting 29:10 Idea 1: Combat busyness with an outcome audit 32:49 Idea 2: Clarify ways of working to cut through bureaucracy 34:29 Idea 3: Design defaults and rules that reduce systemic burnout 36:14 Idea 4: Learn your own burnout symptoms to steer the ship before you reach critical mass 42:00 Idea 5: Enforce work-in-product limits for your team 45:55 Wrap up: Leave us a review and share the show with your colleagues Sound engineering and design by Taylor Marvin of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coupe Studios⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Back to the Basics (Part 6): The Baptism of the Holy Ghost

Boost self-esteem with 6 practices to transform self-talk, build self-worth, and align your life with purpose, integrity, and authentic confidence.

Discovery calls don't have to feel awkward or forced. They can actually be some of the most energizing conversations you have in your practice. In this second part of my Transformational Onboarding Mini-Series, I share my five-step framework for turning those calls into genuine moments of connection and clarity. I call it connect, clarify, align, invite, and detach - a simple flow that helps you stay grounded while confidently guiding patients toward the next step that feels right for them.   If you've ever found yourself overexplaining when it's time to talk about pricing or hesitating to extend an invitation to work together, you're not alone. I've been there too, and I know how uncomfortable it can feel. I'll walk you through ways to bring more ease and authenticity into these calls so they reflect your values instead of feeling scripted.   I also share why I've abandoned high-pressure sales tactics in favor of what I call a “slow cook medicine approach” - a model that builds trust, respects boundaries, and supports patient readiness. By the end of this episode, you'll see discovery calls as conversations that deepen relationships and remind you why this work still lights you up.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 The Art of Authentic Discovery Calls 02:52 Why Practitioners Overexplain and How to Stop 04:49 The Five-Step Discovery Call Framework 05:32 Step 1: How to Build Safety and Trust 07:08 Step 2: Clarify the Patient's Story 10:20 Step 3: Align Your Services with Their Needs 13:30 Step 4: Invite Without Feeling “Salesy” 17:49 Step 5: Detach with Confidence 20:19 What to Avoid in Discovery Calls 23:31 Why Pressure Kills Trust 24:45 Recap: The Flow of a Confident Discovery Call 25:49 Catalyst Question: Strengthening Your Boundaries   Links Book a Brainstorm Session Shop at Dr. Lara's Website   Connect with Dr. Lara Salyer:  Visit Dr. Lara's Website Explore The Catalyst Way Subscribe to Dr. Lara's YouTube Channel Connect with Dr. Lara on LinkedIn Follow Dr. Lara on Instagram  Follow Dr. Lara on Facebook Follow Dr. Lara on TikTok     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Send us a textEpisode #147: Too many finance teams are stuck formatting data while the decisions fly by. We tackle a smarter way to work: build capacity by aligning effort to strategy, automating the grind, and developing the skills that turn reports into results. Stephen McLean walks through a practical approach for FP&A and accounting leaders who want to shield their teams from noise, prioritize what matters, and partner with IT to unlock automation without a costly tech overhaul. The focus is simple—reduce friction, raise insight, and spend more time advising than assembling.We start with clarity: how to map every role and deliverable to a strategic objective, choose the leading indicators that actually drive action, and say no to work that doesn't move the needle. From there, we dig into process and systems—standardizing inputs, automating routine pulls and reconciliations, and using collaborative workspaces so knowledge isn't trapped in inboxes. Along the way, we challenge the culture of daily fire drills and offer a guardrail: route ad-hoc requests through a priority gate so the team's best hours aren't lost to random tasks.Finally, we talk people. Coaching time management, building stronger analysis and storytelling skills, and running short, focused development sprints can transform morale and output. A tighter partnership with IT helps you ship quick wins—scheduled queries, clean templates, and self-serve dashboards—that free analysts to interpret trends and shape choices. Expect clear takeaways you can apply this week: an audit of calendars and tasks, a skills plan that sticks, and an automation backlog that delivers measurable time back.Episode outline:Clarify priorities and align with strategic goals,Leverage tools and automation, andBuild capacity through development.Please connect with me on:1.

In this episode, Christine coaches Jessica, a multi-passionate entrepreneur who struggles to follow through on her vision. Jessica shares how she often throws herself into new ideas with enthusiasm, only to lose momentum when life shifts or self-doubt creeps in. Although she feels deeply called to help mothers raising children in challenging family systems, she wrestles with limiting beliefs about whether people actually want what she offers. Christine helps Jessica reframe her so-called “career ADHD” as a strength—multi-passionate creativity—and uncovers the deeper fears that keep her from committing fully to her dream. They discuss the power of belief, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how to align her entrepreneurial mindset with truth, love, and service. If you've ever second-guessed your calling, started projects you didn't finish, or doubted whether your work really matters, this coaching session will inspire you to release self-sabotage and step forward with clarity and confidence.   Consider/Ask Yourself Do you start projects with excitement but struggle to finish them? Have you labeled yourself as “scattered” or “inconsistent” instead of seeing your creativity as a gift? Are you holding back from your dream because you fear people won't want what you have to offer? How might changing your beliefs about yourself and your audience shift the results you see?   Key Insights and A-HAs Being multi-passionate isn't a problem—it's part of the entrepreneurial spirit. Our beliefs shape our outcomes: if we believe there's no audience, our energy reflects that. Consistency in creating and sharing builds trust, especially with sensitive topics like parenting and family. Fear of failure often shows up as “not finishing,” but true growth comes from committing fully. Relief, not resistance, signals alignment with truth.   How to Deepen the Work Identify one limiting belief that's draining your momentum. Write down evidence that challenges it. Clarify who your “ideal client” is and create content as if you're speaking directly to them. Reframe social media or marketing as opportunities to build trust rather than chores. Normalize the ups and downs of entrepreneurship—it's part of the journey, not proof you're failing.   Upcoming Event Christine's Women's Retreat A transformational retreat designed to help you release old patterns, reclaim your truth, and radiate love into your life and the world.
