https://rachel-bailey.com/368As parents, we want to be a steady, positive influence...someone our child trusts, listens to, and feels safe with. But in the hardest moments, that influence often slips away, not because we don't care or aren't trying, but because our child's reactions pull us into doubt, urgency, or over-accommodation. In this episode, I explain why influence breaks down under pressure, and how rebuilding it starts with balancing confidence and connection. In this episode, you'll hear: Why confidence without connection can lead to shame, power struggles, and self-doubt in kids How connection without confidence can actually increase anxiety and resistance What it sounds like in real life to hold firm limits and care about your child's experience so both of you feel safer and more capable -- LIVE PLANNING SESSION: When Emotions Control Your Home: Build Your Plan to Calm Emotional Storms (When Nothing Seems to Work) Free resources to support you as you're raising children with big emotions Work with Rachel  

Not all clients are created equal—and some quietly drain your firm's time, energy, and profits. In episode 593 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Affinity Consulting's Jeff Krause about the hidden cost of bad clients and how law firms can use data to make better decisions about who they serve.  Jeff breaks down his Moneyball-inspired profit formula to show how client quality impacts leads, conversion rates, revenue, and margins. They explore why discount-seeking clients create compounding damage, how setting clearer expectations can improve client behavior, and when it makes sense to let certain clients walk away. A closer look at the tension between profitability and access to justice, and how intentional business models can support both.    Listen to our previous episodes about Client Experience & Law Firm Profitability:  Episode #384 – Delivering Bad News to Clients, with Marjorie Aaron — Apple | Spotify | LTN  Episode #462: Designing an Empathetic Client Experience, with Kirk Simoneau — Apple | Spotify | LTN  Episode #474: Moneyball for Lawyers, with Jeff Krause — Apple | Spotify | LTN  Episode #560 – Stop Doing Everything Yourself!

A client is tearing up about their debt in your first session together. You're feeling good about the progress you're making. Then weeks later, when you use the MeaningFirst Method™ to explore what getting out of debt would mean to them, they say something you didn't expect: "Even if I were debt free, I'd still be worried about my income. I wouldn't feel much different."How do you respond in that moment?This is the kind of real coaching scenario that makes or breaks buy-in. What you say next determines whether the client feels deeply understood or quietly misunderstood. And the truth is, most coaches in this moment slip into convincing mode without even realizing it. We want to help so badly that we start selling them on why their debt still matters, why being debt free would change things, why they should care about what we think they should care about.But that's not coaching. That's correcting.In this week's episode, I walk you through a similar moment that happened with one of our coaches and her client. I'll show you exactly why the client's response isn't resistance, it's clarity. They're giving you a window into what's actually driving their stress. And I'll give you a four-step framework called Core Sync that helps you respond in these moments without losing the client's trust or momentum.You'll learn how to validate without agreeing, explore without interrogating, connect without convincing, and plan without enabling. This is the difference between a client who nods politely but doesn't follow through and a client who starts to believe again because they feel understood.If you've ever had a client say something that surprised you or didn't match what you expected, this episode will change how you respond.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupEpisode 135: The Meaning First MethodFree download: Meaning First Method guideSmall Business ToolkitsClient Creator Challenge: 90-day program starting January 8thKey Takeaways:When a client says something unexpected, pause and ask yourself: Am I about to validate or convince? This small internal check changes everything about how the conversation unfolds."Even if I were debt free, I'd still be worried" isn't resistance. It's clarity. They're telling you what actually drives their stress, and that deserves your attention.The “yeah, but…” reflex kills buy-in. When you jump to "yeah, but if you were debt free you'd have more freedom," you're making a logical point when they just expressed an emotional truth.Validation creates emotional safety. When someone finally feels understood, their nervous system relaxes. They stop defending and start engaging.Use “yes, and” energy instead of “yeah, but…” energy. "You're right, consistent income is at the heart of this too. And what's interesting is how it ties to the debt..." bridges the gap without dismissing what they said.The Core Sync framework builds buy-in at every layer: validate the emotion, explore the experience, connect the dots, then plan for both. Skip ahead to solutions and you'll lose them.Clients start to believe again not because you convinced them, but because you understood them. That's how buy-in is built.

John is joined by Christopher D. Kercher, partner in Quinn Emanuel's New York office. They discuss a complex cross-border dispute involving a Chinese public company listed on the Shanghai Exchange. The company, which owned oil assets in Texas and was one of the largest private oil producers in the U.S., faced a governance crisis after an investor took over the company and elected a new board in China. When the new board attempted to gain control over the company's U.S. subsidiaries, it discovered that the company's former management had implemented mechanisms at the subsidiaries' holding companies that blocked the election of new directors. This control deadlock posed an existential threat, as Chinese regulators warned the company it could be delisted if control was not reestablished by the end of the year. The urgency of the situation demanded a rapid litigation strategy across three U.S. jurisdictions: Texas, Nevada, and Delaware. The client's initial effort, led by another firm, to resolve the matter in Texas failed because of the “internal affairs doctrine,” which required adjudication in Delaware, where the entities were incorporated. Fortunately, the other side initiated a Delaware proceeding allowing the Chinese parent to counterclaim and consolidate all issues under a highly expedited schedule. A key early win was securing a “status quo” order in Delaware, which froze major corporate actions and gave the new board veto power over decisions exceeding $100,000, effectively halting adverse moves by the former management. The case involved extensive discovery, much of it in Mandarin, and included WhatsApp, WeChat, and other messaging platforms. Advanced AI tools played a crucial role in accelerating document review, translating materials, and aiding strategy development. Cultural sensitivity and coordination with Chinese counsel were also essential to preparing the case. As trial approached, the opposing side sought settlement, likely due to being overwhelmed by the pace and depth of the litigation.  Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

The fastest way to figure out what people want is by asking the right clients the right questions.Today, Mike Warkentin sits down with gym owner Toni Roy of Breathe CrossFit to break down how the Pumpkin Plan transformed her business.Following the steps, Toni created a list of clients who bring her the most joy and a second list with her highest-value clients. Typically, a gym owner circles the clients on both lists to ID the members they want to replicate. In Toni's case, the groups had zero overlap. This insight pushed her to rethink her offerings and create a hybrid membership built around CrossFit, personal training and nutrition—a combo that delivers better results for clients and boosts average revenue per member.Now, regular Goal Review Sessions allow her to continue the conversation: She can catch problems early, celebrate successes and upgrade prescriptions to serve clients better. Toni also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the new-moms group she developed with her Two-Brain mentor. The support-centered program is already turning into a relationship-building referral funnel.

Jack Harrington sits down with Tanner Linsley to talk about the evolution of TanStack and where it's headed next. They explore how early projects like React Query and React Table influenced the headless philosophy behind TanStack Router, why virtualized lists matter at scale, and what makes forms in React so challenging. Tanner breaks down TanStack Start and its client-first approach to SSR, routing, and data loading, and shares his perspective on React Server Components, modern authentication tradeoffs, and composable tooling. The episode wraps with a look at TanStack's roadmap and what it takes to sustainably maintain open source at scale. We want to hear from you! How did you find us? Did you see us on Twitter?

Why do most referral campaigns fail? Because they ignore the emotional core of the client experience. In her book, The Referral Client Experience, Stacey Brown Randall explains that anxiety and uncertainty define the initial "New Client" stage. If you don't address that "quiet voice" of concern with clear onboarding and emotional reassurance, you undermine trust. You must identify your Referral Hot Zones—the specific moments in your journey when clients are most likely to talk about you. These are not random. Analyze where past referrals originated (e.g., after successful project completion, during a specific milestone).

Laurie Pascoe practiced law in Ottawa, Ontario for more than forty years while writing over fifty articles, teaching continuing legal education, and serving thousands of clients. In this episode, Laurie explains why lawyers must evolve, how client service impacts malpractice claims, and why thinking like a client can make your legal practice more effective and more enjoyable.Lawyer Side HustlesWriting has been Laurie's creative and intellectual outlet. He has written articles for lawyers and articles for clients, using writing as a way to educate, clarify legal issues, and reduce client overwhelm. Long before law firm websites were common, he built one of the first in Ottawa and filled it with free educational content. He also became one of the earliest lawyers in the region to advertise legally after restrictions were lifted.“I had so many articles that when the internet came along, I had a million things to throw on my website right away,” shares Laurie Pascoe in Episode 79 of You Are a Lawyer.His most significant project became his book, Innovative Legal Service Applications: A Guide to Improved Client Services, published by the ABA. For Laurie, these writing projects were not hobbies. They were a way to teach lawyers, improve client outcomes, and share practical tools to help the profession evolve. His side work helped shape how many lawyers think about systems, client service, and ethics.This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Colleen Joyce discuss:Failing fast while managing riskBuilding a competitive legal practice intentionallyTreating sales as listening and diagnosisLeading and adapting for the future of law Key Takeaways:Test ideas quickly and learn from small, recoverable failures. Avoid high-stakes decisions that can jeopardize the entire business. Fast iteration builds resilience in a rapid attention and news cycle.Strong branding is essential in a crowded legal market. Lawyers must understand marketing and business, not just legal skills. Personal brand and visibility increasingly determine growth and opportunity.Effective sales begins with asking questions and listening deeply. Clients commit when they feel understood, not when they are pitched.  A clear diagnosis must come before proposing solutions or pricing.Know your strengths and hire to cover gaps. Transparency and honesty strengthen leadership and team trust. Investing in technology, efficiency, and learning is required to stay competitive. "I know lawyers don't like to hear this, but they are salespeople, just like every other job." —  Colleen Joyce Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Freelancers are giving away their most valuable AI insights, and not getting paid for it. In today's episode, we're taking a hard look at one of the biggest blind spots for freelance writers and content pros right now: the failure to package your AI knowledge into a paid offer. Your clients want to use AI. They're trying. But they're confused, overwhelmed, and scared of doing it wrong. And guess what? You already have the skills and experience to guide them. But unless you turn that informal help into a structured service, it's just free advice that goes nowhere. In this episode, we're going to fix that. What You'll Learn Why most freelance writers are leaving serious money on the table when it comes to AI The three types of AI helpers, and why only one gets paid what they're worth How to package your AI knowledge into a sellable offer (with real examples) The "three blockers" that keep most freelancers from monetizing their AI skills What happens after you package your AI services, and how to push through impostor syndrome Key Ideas & Takeaways The real constraint is implementation confidence within your clients' teams. Everyone has the tools. What they don't have is the confidence to use them well. They're worried about brand voice, risk, reputation, and wasting time. That's where you come in. But clients won't pay you for casual tips. They'll pay for structured guidance. The 3 Types of AI Help The Informal Helper (Invisible Labor) · You're answering AI questions and offering tips for free · No structure, no price, no perceived value The AI-Enabled Doer (Efficient But Undervalued) You use AI to deliver better work faster, but you're still billing for output, not insight Clients don't see the "how," just the deliverable The AI Implementation Partner (Where the Money Is) You guide teams, build workflows, train staff, and solve real problems This is a packaged consulting offer, and it can command $5K–$10K+ fees The 3 Packaging Blockers (And How to Overcome Them) Blocker 1: "I don't know enough" Reality: You don't need to be an expert, just more knowledgeable than your clients Action: Write down 10 AI lessons you've learned the hard way. Your first offer is likely somewhere in there Blocker 2: "I don't know what to sell" Reality: Your offer is hiding in your inbox and client conversations. Extract it from the questions clients already ask Action: Track every AI-related client question over the next 30 days. Your next offer is in there Blocker 3: "I don't know how to price it" Reality: You're not selling outputs, you're selling transformation Action: Anchor your pricing to the outcomes and risk reduction you create The Anatomy of a Packaged AI Service Every successful offer has four parts: The Constraint You're Managing Examples: "I help marketing teams adopt AI without destroying their brand voice." "I implement AI systems legal will approve." "I guide consultants through using AI to mine insights from their internal data." The Deliverables & Process Week 1: Audit Weeks 2–3: Build custom GPTs, create systems Week 4: Train team, hand off playbook The Timeline 3–4 weeks is ideal. Clear start, clear end. The Outcome/Transformation Examples: "You'll get an AI-powered content workflow that triples output without sacrificing quality." "You'll eliminate brand voice inconsistencies in AI-generated content." "You'll get your team onboard with AI confidently and safely." What Happens After You Package It You'll doubt yourself. That's normal You'll stumble through the first pitch You'll realize you know more than you thought Clients will love your structure more than your brilliance You don't need to be the best AI expert. You just need to be the one your client trusts. And you need to take those first few steps in faith, trusting that the path will appear as you move forward. Listener Challenge Take action this week: List 10 things you've learned from using AI in your freelance work Track any AI-related questions your clients ask Package what you already know into a 3–4 week offer Pitch it to one person Start small. Start now. That's how real momentum builds. Want Help Packaging Your Own AI Service? If this episode sparked ideas, I'm running a half-day, 1-on-1 workshop plus a 3-week coaching sprint to help you package their AI knowledge into premium consulting services. No spots open at the moment, but I may open some spots in January or February. If you'd like to work with me privately on this, shoot me an email (ed at b2blauncher dot com) with "AI Consultant Accelerator" in the subject line, and I'll reply with the details.

This week is a very special episode that I am so excited for you to hear. Wendy bravely shares what her journey to changing her relationship with alcohol has looked like over the past year AND what finally helped her turn a corner, so much that whenever she has an urge to drink, she thinks 'I don't want to run back the page.' She shares what it looked like before and how much she was drinking and why. And some very nuanced detail in HOW she works through the urge to drink that has helped her be alcohol free now for almost 3 months! Wendy is a really good example of what is possible. This episode will also motivate you to not give up before the gettin' gets good! You never know when it will all come together for you, so you need to stay in the game until it does!

What if the reason planning never seems to stick isn't your willpower, your discipline, or your color-coded calendar… but your identity? In this episode, I'm joined by subconscious success alchemist Mindi Heubner for a conversation that will completely shift how you approach the new year — especially if you're tired of setting goals that look good on paper but fall apart in real life. Mindi breaks down why traditional planning still leads so many women straight into hustle, burnout, and over-responsibility… even when we think we're choosing ease. We dig into the real drivers behind your habits, why your subconscious identity always wins, and how to step into the calm, confident CEO version of you who plans sustainably — not stressfully. If you want 2026 to feel different, more grounded, and more you, this episode will help you release the pressure, rewire the patterns that keep you stuck, and plan from your true capacity — not unrealistic expectations. Today you'll hear:02:48 – What “life-first business” looks like for Mindi this season — and how identity creates capacity04:36 – The pressure of December, why reflection triggers your inner critic, and how to plan without hustling06:53 – Why traditional SMART goals miss the mark when your subconscious identity isn't aligned09:28 – How to recognize the identity patterns driving your habits: the Prover, Performer, Over-Responsible One, and Chameleon12:38 – How to shorten the identity gap and plan for 2026 from who you're becoming, not who you've been15:12 – What fear of success actually sounds like — and simple ways to prove to your brain that growth is safe20:03 – Why “how you do one thing is how you do everything” needs a rewrite — and what's actually true22:58 – The biggest red flag in year-end planning and how to shift into a self-led, sustainable approach25:41 – How 1% identity shifts create the biggest results (plus the tiny change Mindi is making herself) CONNECT WITH MINDI:Website: mindihuebner.comInstagram: @mindihuebnerFREE Identity Quiz: mindihuebner.com/ceoquiz

Ever wonder why a product that makes your job easier somehow never shows up on store shelves? We tackle that head-on with borates: how 50 ppm boric acid helps tame rising pH in saltwater pools, reduces chlorine and acid use, and even cuts down on algaecide. We walk through where to buy it online, how to test it accurately, and why some retailers avoid stocking it despite clear demand. The bigger takeaway: when you meet customers where they are, you win more than a single sale—you win the relationship.From the pad to the pickup, we get practical about business decisions that compound. Thinking about a new service truck? Mileage and condition beat brand loyalty when your route adds 15–20k miles a year. We share real thresholds for when to buy, what to avoid, and why the smartest investment isn't always the shiniest one on the lot. Then we dive into vac systems with a pro's eye: carts like Riptide and Power Vac deliver speed in heavy debris, while cordless options like the Bottom Feeder trade thrust for zero-cord convenience and rapid deployment. Client optics matter too. A short, visible vacuum pass can transform how customers perceive value, even when the water looks clean. We offer a simple framework: keep “vacuum as needed” in your agreement, default to a quick cordless pass when feasible, and train your team for consistency. Finally, we break down generic versus OEM parts for popular cleaners like the MX6 and MX8—what's worth the savings, what can backfire, and how manufacturer contracts shape what local stores can carry. The goal isn't to pick sides; it's to protect uptime, margins, and trust.• why borates stabilize pH and reduce chemical demand• why many stores don't stock boric acid and how to buy it• how to test for borates with reliable strips• business logic of stocking what customers want• how to pick a service truck by mileage and condition• cordless vs cart vac systems and when each wins• whether to vacuum every visit for better optics• using “vacuum as needed” while showing visible workSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Too many coaches try to sell “coaching” and wonder why clients don't buy. The truth? Clients don't want 12 random sessions. They want a specific transformation they can picture, trust, and implement.

Stephanie shares:The two biggest mistakes new coaches make when creating programsHow to choose the right transformation (and avoid giving clients what they can't implement)Why less is often more when it comes to program designA simple way to test your program.If you're a new or growing coach who's ready to package your expertise into a program that sells, without overthinking or overstuffing, this episode is for you.Ready to Grow Your Coaching Business?

Points of Interest00:02 – 01:49 – Introduction: Marcel welcomes Kristen back to the show and sets up another practical client case study focused on a real agency engagement.01:50 – 04:00 – The flex-labor, video production agency profile: Kristen outlines the agency's model: a small FTE core, 10–20 contractors, just under $2M in revenue, and constant cash flow stress tied to contractor payments.04:01 – 06:21 – Why video production and events are so punishing for cash flow: Marcel explains how big production days and lumpy project work make earned revenue, contractor management, and cash flow especially tricky for this type of agency.05:05 – 07:16 – Growth, service-line complexity, and early unprofitability signals: Kristen describes how larger clients, new service lines with tight price ceilings, shifting deadlines, and creeping unprofitability pushed the founders to hit pause and seek help.06:22 – 07:25 – Becoming “exit curious” changes the stakes: Marcel notes that the owners had started thinking about selling, and viewing the business through an enterprise value lens made their efficiency and profitability issues feel more urgent.07:26 – 11:05 – Spreadsheets, PM tools, and the stalled silver-bullet implementation: Kristen walks through the spreadsheets they built, the expensive all-in-one PM platform they bought, and how personnel changes left the implementation half-done and overwhelming.09:06 – 13:58 – Why PM tools fail without a profitability framework: Marcel unpacks the gap between the tool's promises and reality, highlighting how unclear definitions of cost rates, pass-through expenses, margins, and scope make it impossible to configure a PM system effectively.14:52 – 18:52 – The client's original thesis vs. the real problem: Kristen shares that the client blamed headcount, tools, and “project management issues,” while Marcel points out their weak time-tracking culture and the failure to treat producers as true delivery costs.19:05 – 22:12 – Diagnosis: a business model and unit economics problem: Kristen explains how reviewing the cash-basis P&L, time data, spreadsheets, and contracts revealed that the core issue was delivery margin and pricing, not execution quality or PM discipline.24:52 – 27:42 – Fixing the data: contractor classification and cash-basis adjustments: Kristen describes using Parakeeto's decision tree to classify contractors as delivery expenses, annualizing their cost and hours, and reverse-engineering hours from invoices, while Marcel adds tips for reducing noise in cash-based books.28:18 – 35:57 – Rebuilding the model: estimator tool, 70% margin, and hire-vs-contractor math: Kristen shows how the estimator tool exposed project-level unit economics and ABR targets, then explains how they improved time tracking, pricing strategy, contracts, and PM tool setup, plus modeled when it actually made sense to hire FTEs instead of using contractors.36:43 – 39:01 – Key lessons and reassurance for nuanced agency models: Kristen closes by emphasizing that every agency has quirks, but a clear framework can still make it profitable, while Marcel underscores the value of external support in untangling model vs. execution problems.Show NotesAgency Fee CalculatorLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

In this heartfelt and deeply insightful episode, Kristen introduces listeners to a few of the powerhouse coaches behind Sondera — Chuck, Dan, Karen, and Nina — some of the real MVPs walking clients through life-altering transformation work every single day.These aren't just any coaches. They're trauma-informed, certified in many modalities, and deeply aligned with Sondera's core mission: helping clients step out of a life lived on autopilot and into a life of conscious design. Kristen and the team peel back the curtain on what coaching really looks like, why it's different from therapy or friendship, and how true transformation happens when safety, trust, and the right tools are in place.Whether you're curious about coaching, struggling to break old patterns, or wondering how to finally make real change stick — this episode is your behind-the-scenes look into the soul of Sondera's approach and the humans guiding it.In This Episode:Meet four of Sondera's expert coaches and hear their unique coaching philosophiesWhat coaching is not — and why it's often misunderstoodThe role of adaptive personality types and nervous system responses in personal growthWhy time management issues are often deeper than just “poor planning”The critical difference between reflection vs. ruminationWhat makes the Sondera process radically different (and wildly effective)Client transformation stories that will give you chillsKey Takeaways:Coaching isn't about “fixing” you — it's about uncovering the truth of who you already areYour survival patterns aren't your personality — they're just habits your nervous system learned to stay safeSustainable change isn't about willpower — it's about awareness, safety, and supportMen benefit from coaching just as deeply as women, even if the starting point looks differentYou're not “bad at follow-through” — you're likely stuck in a subconscious survival responseChange doesn't come from shame. It starts with self-compassion.Notable Quotes:“We're not here to fix people — we help them realize they're both the problem and the solution.” – Karen“If you're waiting for your circumstances to get better, you'll wait your whole life. Coaching helps you get better.” – Kristen“Your adaptive personality is not who you are. It's just how you learned to stay safe.” – Nina“Leadership coaching isn't just about work. If you're wonky at home, you'll bring that to work — and vice versa.” – Chuck“Coaches aren't your friends. We're not here to co-sign your comfort.

In today's episode, we drop into a deeply heartfelt and honest conversation with three women from the Multidimensional Woman Mentorship, as they open up about their journeys of healing, awakening, and returning home to themselves. This dialogue is an intimate window into what becomes possible when a woman says “yes” to her growth, her soul, and her becoming.Together, we explore what it means to walk the path of a multidimensional woman—one who embraces her vulnerability, honors her emotions, and allows her body to guide her transformation. These women share how mentorship, sisterhood, and embodied practices supported them in dissolving old identities, reclaiming their confidence, and reconnecting with their inner aliveness.Throughout the conversation, we highlight the importance of integrating insights into daily life—moving beyond awareness and truly embodying the work. You'll hear stories of emotional alchemy, creative expression, forgiveness, and the profound healing that happens when women gather in community.If you've ever felt the nudge of your soul calling… if you've been craving deeper connection, more confidence, or a soft place to land in your personal evolution… this episode will remind you that you're not alone, and that your growth is not only possible—it's sacred.Themes:Vulnerability is a gateway to deeper intimacy and connection.True self-acceptance opens the door to authentic relationships.Embodiment is the practice of living your insights—not just thinking about them.Forgiving past versions of yourself creates space for healing.Emotional alchemy turns challenging feelings into fuel for growth.Movement and dance reconnect you to your life force and sensuality.Investing in yourself elevates the quality of your life.Intuition will always guide you toward expansion—if you let it.SPECIAL OFFERS:

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this powerful conversation, Dr. James Hawkins sits down with Dr. Leanne Campbell to explore the heart of EFT and trauma and to honor the legacy of Dr. Sue Johnson. Leanne pulls back the curtain on writing the new EFT and Trauma text with Sue—sharing what it was like to co-create Sue's final formal publication, how their moment‑by‑moment clinical commentary came to life, and why clarity in the model matters now more than ever.  Together, James and Leanne dive into the caregiving system, window of tolerance, and how EFT therapists can help clients move through trauma without retraumatizing, using themselves as temporary attachment figures. You'll hear vivid clinical language and examples around: trusting the caregiving system, working with highly reactive couples, tracking your own nervous system as a therapist, and using transparency to give traumatized clients back their agency and hope.  This episode is a blend of theory, practical process, and deep emotion—a tribute to Sue's legacy and an inspiring guide for any therapist working at the leading edge of EFT and trauma.  Main Points / Episode Highlights Leanne's “Leading Edge” in EFT    - Getting radically clear about the model: moment‑by‑moment commentary on what therapists are doing and why.     - Making EFT more accessible and teachable through precision and process clarity. Trusting the Caregiving System    - “Trust the process” = “trust the caregiving system” when emotion and connection are alive in the room.     - Importance of responding in the same channel as the emotional bid (emotion with emotion, not facts or data).  Working on the EFT and Trauma Text with Sue Johnson    - The process was inspiring, clarifying, exhilarating, and at times sidelined by other EFiT projects.     - The book was well underway before Sue's death and now stands as her last formal publication—a “parting gift” of stories of hope and resilience. Using the Therapist as a Temporary Attachment Figure    - Central answer to “How do I help clients move through trauma without retraumatizing them?”     - Therapist “sings the song and dances the dance of attunement,” keeping clients at their leading edge without overshooting the window of tolerance. “It Begins With Us” – The Therapist's Nervous System    - Leanne tracks her own felt sense—especially with reactive couples—and uses it to guide interventions.     - She slows things down, names process elements (tone, eyes, posture) to:       - Validate the receiving partner.       - Grow awareness in the reactive partner whose nervous system is firing outside awareness. Window of Tolerance: Respect and Stretch    - Respecting the window of tolerance while stretching it—within sessions and in the client's broader socio‑cultural context.     - Normalizing that trauma work often happens in cycles (do a piece, step back, integrate). Validation as Psychoeducation    - Validation reframes trauma responses as survival strategies, not character flaws.     - Helps the traumatized partner feel understood and the other partner release blame and grow compassion. Transparency Gives Agency    - Being explicit about what the therapist is doing and why (“the best surgeon explains the procedure”).     - Therapist's transparency and emotional honesty give traumatized clients predictability and agency, reversing their history of non‑transparent harm. Parts / Versions and Rewriting Identity    - Leanne's language of “versions” of self helps distinguish old survival strategies from the current, wiser self.     - Core EFT aim: “You are not your trauma.” Clients move from “This is who I am” to “This is a fear and a history I carry.” Hope and Resilience as the Core Message    - If listeners remember one thing: hope and belief in the power of human connection and healing.     - The book is intentionally a story of hope and resilience for clinicians and clients, continuing Sue's attachment legacy.
