We parse through the ABCs of acceptance, beginning with the letter A, which stands for Allow. Allowing or accepting our feelings and circumstances is a fundamental step in managing anxiety as articulated by Claire Weeks. I emphasize that acceptance does not equate to liking our situation; rather, it is about acknowledging the reality of our experiences without unnecessary struggle. I illustrate the detrimental effects of resisting reality, likening it to a tug-of-war that drains our energy and keeps us from moving forward. By choosing to accept what is, we enable ourselves to release the struggle and channel our energy toward the aspects of our lives that we can control.Next, we journey into letter B—Be, or Being with our feelings and sensations. Here, I shed light on the importance of cultivating a non-judgmental awareness of our experiences. This practice allows us to notice our pain, whether physical or emotional, without feeding into our fears. For instance, when faced with bodily sensations that induce anxiety, such as chest tightness, I encourage listeners to approach these feelings with curiosity rather than panic. By observing our bodies like scientists, without preconceived notions or urgent desires to escape discomfort, we diminish the sense of peril associated with our internal experiences. In doing so, we foster a calmer environment for ourselves, paving the way for healing and clarity.We progress to letter C, which signifies Curiosity. I highlight how adopting a curious mindset towards our intrusive thoughts and fears can significantly reduce their power over us. By reframing our relationship with anxiety-provoking thoughts as mere phenomena to explore, rather than truths to contend with, we strip them of their authority. We're reminded that everyone experiences run-of-the-mill anxious thoughts, but the key lies in how we respond to them. Practicing curiosity diminishes fear, opening avenues for proactive responses based on our learned understanding of our mind's workings.#anxietyrelief #acceptance #mindfulness #mentalhealth #anxietycoaching #stressmanagement #calmness #selfhelp #personaldevelopment #overcominganxiety #GinaRyan #anxietycoachespodcast #emotionalhealth #curiosity #copingstrategies #panicattack #selfcarefirst #mentalwellness #lettinggo #beherenow #mindfulmoments #anxietyfree #anxietysupport #nervoussystem #mindsetshift #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Discover the strategies, support, and spiritual fire to step into your next level. JOIN HERE   In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that resonates with many of us: the desire for a guaranteed formula for success in our businesses, particularly when we seek to align our efforts with God's will. Have you ever wished for a straightforward answer from Jesus on how to achieve success? While there isn't a quick fix in the Kingdom of God, I present a four-part formula that can lead to what I call "guaranteed biblical increase." Drawing from Isaiah 55:11, I outline the essential components of this formula: Promise, People, Positioning, and Timing. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in ensuring that we are aligned with God's purpose for our lives and businesses. Promise: Understanding the specific promise God has given you is vital. I emphasize the importance of clarity in what God has called you to do. Without a clear promise, we may find ourselves pursuing paths that are not aligned with God's will, leading to frustration and stagnation. People: This component focuses on the "who" of your promise. It's essential to identify the audience or community you are meant to serve. I discuss how the right promise can be rendered ineffective if the wrong people are involved. Knowing your target demographic is key to unlocking the potential of your calling. Positioning: Here, I explore how your market positioning affects your ability to achieve success. I use real estate as an analogy to illustrate how understanding market dynamics and setting realistic goals are crucial for aligning with God's plan. If your positioning is off, even the best promise and the right people won't lead to the increase you desire. Timing: Finally, I address the importance of God's timing. I remind listeners that there are seasons in the spiritual realm that impact our lives and businesses. Being patient and discerning God's timing is essential for reaping the harvest He has in store for us. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to conduct a self-audit in these four areas to identify where they may need realignment. I also invite you to join my Kingdom Leaders Community, where we delve deeper into these principles and support one another in our journeys.

Why traditional VC or debt financing is often a poor fit for customer acquisition.2. The origins of UA financing and why treating cohorts as “assets” changes the game.3. The differences between PVX Partners' gaming-first model and General Catalyst's broader CVF.4. Success stories like Superplay's $2B exit, powered by UA financing.5.

Community colleges lose a staggering number of students before they even show up in official retention data. For this episode, I interviewed Dr. Rita Karam of RAND Corporation. She and her colleagues at RAND examined this often-overlooked group across 15 colleges in California, Texas, and Kentucky. The findings? More than 60% of students are lost between application and census date, with the majority leaving due to a mix of personal barriers and institutional processes.This episode unpacks the research and offers practical steps colleges can take to reduce these losses and re-engage students.Key FindingsEnrollment leakage is real and large: About 10–15% drop after enrolling but before census. Another ~50% are lost between application and enrollment over 60% combined loss.Institutional processes matter: Complex onboarding, unclear handoffs, and overwhelming communication push students out just as much as financial or personal challenges.Financial aid is a critical barrier: Students often don't realize aid requires a declared major or other criteria. Many are dropped when aid decisions aren't resolved in time.Students want relational, not transactional, support: They seek caring, transformative relationships with advisors, not one-off transactions.Timing is crucial: Roughly 30% of students enroll within two weeks of term start, overwhelming advisors and limiting the quality of advising.Few colleges systematically track these students: Data systems are fragmented, making it hard to identify where and why students disappear.Key Chapter Makers00:00: Introduction02:45: Why Students Leave Before Census06:20: Institutional vs. Personal Barriers11:10: The Role of Financial Aid in Early Attrition15:30: Communication Breakdowns During Onboarding20:40: Timing Matters: The First Two Weeks26:15: Tracking Students Who Disappear31:00: Effective Re-Engagement Strategies36:20: Rethinking Advising: From Transactional to Transformational41:50: Practical Steps Colleges Can Take Now47:00: Closing Thoughts & Key TakeawaysFor the full transcript and detailed show notes, including ACTION STEPS, visit the episode page.Continuous Learning Institute:A resource hub for higher education professionals to support college student success.

Send us a textWhen a partner says they need space, most of us freeze, wait, and hope, until reality lands like a punch in the gut. In this episode, Staci, Tom, and Brooke unpack the “default option”: the unconscious choices (shutting down, chasing, over-explaining, policing “boundaries”) that slowly erode connection. You'll learn why love isn't the problem, missing skills are, and how simple, repeatable practices (regulating your body, translating feelings into words, reaching for repair) interrupt panic and create safety. We walk through a real couple's story (Mark & Maggie) to show the shift from defensiveness to steady reconnection, and we introduce Action-Reward Pricing for the 30-Day Roadmap, built to get you out of limbo now, not “someday.” Plus: a playful “Default Flip Interrupt” you can try today, and the Song of the Week to get you moving when anxiety pins you down.Key TakeawaysThe “default option” = waiting, pretending, spiraling, and silent drift. It chooses you when you don't choose skills.Love isn't broken; the missing pieces are conflict skills, emotional regulation, repair, and agreements.Regulation first, words second: calm your body before you speak (or you'll weaponize your words).Consistency builds trust; wobbling between calm and chaos erodes it.Tiny, repeatable moves, nervous system resets, clear asks, humble repair, change the day-to-day.Timestamps: 03:50 The Impact of Avoidance and Miscommunication07:37 The Importance of Relationship Skills12:31 A Real-Life Example: Mark and Maggie18:24 Steps to Interrupt the Default Option23:07 The 30-Day Roadmap to Relationship Skills25:23 Special Offer and Pricing Strategy32:14 Humor and Exaggeration to Break Patterns37:32 Closing Thoughts and ResourcesResources MentionedTake the Quiz (free): https://space-assessment.scoreapp.com/Love in Limbo: 30-Day Roadmap: daily practice, coaching, and community to steady yourself and rebuild connection.

In this episode, the entire crew is back and we're diving into myth: Black Capitalism = Sovereignty,' which challenges the idea that Black capitalism is the path to true sovereignty. Our discussion pulls from a recent piece written by co-host Too Black, titled “Kids' corner economics: What tariffs teach us about Black capitalism.”  We explore key economic concepts like trade, tariffs, protectionism, and free trade, using real-world examples to show how these forces impact Black businesses within a globalized economy shaped by white supremacy. We focus on the two primary myths of Black capitalist ethos: the 'circulating Black dollar' and 'Black buying power,' arguing that these concepts often misrepresent the economic realities and limitations faced by Black people. Ultimately, this episode prompts us to consider what real sovereignty looks like and how to pursue it beyond the confines of capitalist structures Kids' corner economics: What tariffs teach us about Black capitalism patreon.com/blackmyths Intro - 00:00:00 Monologue - 00:18:13 Trade and Tariffs explained - 00:20:39 Brief history of modern trade and tariffs - 00:46:12 Circulating Black Dollar and Trade - 01:10:22 Black Buying Power and Trade - 01:46:09 Closing Thoughts - 02:00:18  

In this special solo episode, I'm recording from home (comfy in bed, laptop in hand!) to catch you up on everything happening in my life right now. At 26 weeks pregnant, I'm reflecting on how my journey is unfolding, the emotional and spiritual connection I feel with my baby, and how this sacred season is shifting my approach to health, career, and even this podcast. I share the highs and lows of pregnancy so far, from nesting mode and hypnobirthing classes to my first pelvic floor therapy session (and the wild stats I learned about strength training while pregnant). I also talk about why I'm making some changes to Pursuit of Wellness during this time, how I'm thinking about maternity leave, and what you can expect from the show moving forward.
