    Peace in Difficult Decisions: How to Choose Alignment Over Perfection

    Heal from Infidelity

    In this episode, I talk about what it really means to find peace when facing tough decisions. Recently, I was torn between attending my sister's milestone birthday celebration and staying home to comfort my daughter who needed me. Both were “good” choices, but ultimately, I chose alignment with my values—being present where I was most needed. Difficult decisions often force us to choose between equally meaningful paths. Whether it's deciding to stay or leave a marriage, how much truth to share with children, or when to seek therapy, peace often comes from aligning with what matters most—not from finding the “perfect” answer. Grief and peace can coexist, and learning to hold both allows us to move forward with confidence and compassion for ourselves. Takeaways: Peace often comes from alignment, not perfection. Hard decisions can hold both grief and relief. Listening to your values helps anchor your choices. True confidence grows when you honor your own inner knowing. If you're ready to create peace even in difficult decisions, I'd love to help you. Reach out and let's walk this journey together.

    Today I'm speaking with Edward Latimore—author of “Sober Letters to My Drunken Self”. He's a former professional boxer, and in this episode, we explore his powerful journey from growing up in the projects, his life of addiction, and how he is now living a life of sobriety, self-mastery, and success.  Edward's story is about resilience, personal accountability, and the power of writing and community as tools for healing. Before we jump in, let's talk a little bit about recovery resistance. It's a term I use to describe that feeling of rebelliousness when we hear suggestions of things we could do for our recovery. It could be anything from journaling every morning, to spending 30 minutes meditating, letting go of toxic relationships, or even attending 12 step meetings, just to name a few. I actually dedicated a whole chapter in my book “The 12 Step Guide For Skeptics: Clearing Up Common Misconceptions Of A Path To Sobriety”. The truth is, we experience internal resistance for a good reason, which is ultimately rooted in our subconscious need for safety. But there comes a point when we recognize that some of our habits actually threaten our safety, like addiction, and we need to take action to change that. This is where it gets sticky. You might be aware that you need to change, so you seek answers, but actually taking action - like the exercise, meditation, self-reflection, step work, therapy etc - we balk. We get distracted. We procrastinate.  To combat this resistance, I have a few solutions listed in the book, but here's a quick 4 step process to help you close the gap between knowledge and action. Recognize that resistance or procrastination is a stress response. Try to give yourself some compassion. Practice a technique called “chunking”. Take the task at hand and break it down into tiny little steps. Commit to taking action for 2 minutes at a time Do a 3 second countdown and MOVE. Don't think, just act on that first 2 minute chunk. That's it! And chances are, once you start taking action, momentum will carry you through. If that feels helpful to you, please be sure to get a copy of my book through Amazon. It's full of mindset shifts, little bits of wisdom I've picked up over the years, and some practical suggestions on how to get and stay sober.  So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think!

    Today's episode is called “Your Audition Superpower.” We're talking about what really makes an audition competitive, not just good. Because in a crowded industry, good auditions disappear. Competitive ones get remembered. Whether you're stepping into the booth, walking into the room, or recording a self-tape at home, these five elements can transform how casting directors see you. Why “Audition Superpowers” Matter Every actor has talent. What separates the hobbyists from the professionals is how you show up under pressure. Casting directors don't just want a great read. They want someone they can rely on, someone who takes risks, and someone who knows how to communicate humanity through their choices. That's why these five aspects aren't just skills. They're your audition superpowers. The 5 Audition Superpowers 1. Confidence Not the fake-it-till-you-make-it kind. Real confidence is clarity and control, the ability to deliver without obsessing about what the casting director wants. It's trusting your instincts, playing with choices, and knowing every version is still you. 2. Preparedness Prepared actors sound professional. Unprepared ones sound like hobbyists. From knowing your character's secrets and desires to understanding the platform you're working in, preparedness eliminates scrambling and allows you to deliver with authority. 3. Professionalism The least glamorous but most powerful superpower. Label your files correctly. Follow directions exactly. Show up early and ready. Charm gets you in the room once. Professionalism is what builds long-term trust. 4. Boldness Safe auditions are wallpaper. Bold choices make casting directors look up from their coffee and say, “Who is that?” Boldness isn't about volume. It's about commitment. Commit to your weird, specific humanity. That's what makes you unforgettable. 5. Range Range isn't about pitch or speed. It's emotional truth and control, the ability to flip from playful to grounded, warm to terrifying, sweet to cruel, without losing authenticity. Range shows casting directors you can carry an entire character's humanity in your voice. Putting Your Superpowers to Work Confidence. Preparedness. Professionalism. Boldness. Range. Together, they make you unstoppable. It's not about perfection. It's about being consistent, being human, and being willing to risk a little weirdness. Some of the strangest choices I've made in auditions are the ones casting directors still remember. So ask yourself: which of these audition superpowers do you need to level up right now?

    Ephesians 1:7 NLTHe is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.Our confession of sin—one time—triggers God's faithfulness, forgiveness, cleansing, removal of sin, kindness, grace, and freedom. What an amazing deal for us once we simply get honest with God about what we have done.If you struggle with forgiving yourself for any past mistakes and sins, maybe it's time to visualize a funeral for them.Confess, place them under the blood of Christ, and ask for forgiveness one final time.Commit to this being the last time you will bring it up. Just like when a funeral is over, you need to walk away once you've said your goodbyes. But now instead of mourning and grief, you say hello to freedom and forgiveness.What is a specific sin you are willing to confess and bury today?Listen once again to God's promises and the finality of what happens once we confess:But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. (1 John 1:9 NLT)He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. —Psalm 103:12 NLTHe is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. (Ephesians 1:7 NLT)It is time to say a final goodbye to something God wants to see you let go of… that you know you need to let go of.As you can see, He has made your forgiveness and freedom available to you right now.How does it feel to know that God not only forgives your sins, but He forgets they even happened. What does it look like to accept you are living with a new reality, a clean slate.Let's commit this to Him: “Father, I want today to say a final goodbye to the things that have held me back from receiving all You have for me. Today, I hand these things over You. Thank You now for Your faithfulness, forgiveness, cleansing, removal of sin, kindness, grace, and freedom. As above, so below.”

    Public failures and fumbles are painful to say the least.  I've recently had a handful of clients come to me feeling crushed after making a mistake, fumbling, or failing publicly. The most prominent outcome in all of their stories? SHAME. Their instinctual behavior to manage the shame? Hide, deny, or deflect. Fun fact, people don't actually trust leaders who never admit to making mistakes. Mistakes are a demonstration of humanity, authenticity, and vulnerability. We trust people who we see as human, fallible, and REAL. We trust people who aren't afraid to take accountability. We trust people who don't shy away from saying sorry. At the end of the day, our public mistakes don't have to be the end of our credibility. In fact, they can become a powerful part of the evolution of our growth and credibility as a leader. In this episode, I'm digging into how public fumbles can actually make you a better leader, and I'll walk you through the four steps (borrowed from restorative justice practices) to move through mistakes in a way that builds, rather than breaks, your credibility: Take responsibility for your part in the mess. Apologize for any harm done. Share and demonstrate what you've learned. Commit to the steps you'll take to do better next time. By taking these steps, you are modeling humility, integrity, strength, grace, and a healthy sense of ego. When you model these things, people trust you MORE. People see you as more credible and authentic. People feel more connected to you. You become the kind of leader people remember and emulate.  I'll also talk about how to let go of the shame of failure as an essential step for moving forward. The reality is, being a great leader is far more about being real than being perfect. Processing the shame is part of being real and giving yourself the grace to be imperfect. If you've ever found yourself in the spotlight for the wrong reasons—or feared what might happen if you do—this conversation will give you a roadmap for navigating those moments with integrity, humility, and strength.

    Learn five powerful lessons for achieving big, difficult goals that I took away from watching Girl Climber -- the new film that chronicles Emily Harrington's incredible, multi-year journey to free-climb El Capitan's Golden Gate route in under 24 hours. For me, this isn't just a film about climbing—it's about resilience, will power, and the triumph of human spirit, Furthermore, it serves as a bold reminder of what it takes to stay committed to a dream in the face of fear, doubt, setbacks, and even failure. As Emily's journey shows, greatness isn't built on talent alone. It comes from disciplined training, uncommon courage and toughness, and the willingness to keep showing up for a goal that feels just out of reach. I had the chance to see Girl Climber on its IMAX theatrical release date, August 24th, and I'll tell you—it was excellent! Truly a must-see for anyone passionate about climbing…or simply fascinated by what it takes to push the human mind and body to their limits in pursuit of a big goal.

    In this sermon launch a brand-new series called Our Church, where we'll explore who we are as a church family, what we value, and the mission God has called us to. We will begin with the truth that in God's Kingdom, it's the small things that make the biggest impact. Just like James Clear's story from Atomic Habits, we will see that lasting transformation doesn't come from one big moment, but from small, faithful habits practiced consistently. Jesus illustrated this with the parable of the mustard seed (Matthew 13:31–32), reminding us that what seems small in our eyes can grow into something much greater in God's hands. In Acts 2, we will look at how the very first church practiced these small but powerful rhythms: devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. These weren't religious checkboxes but life-giving habits that helped disciples stay connected to Jesus, be transformed by Him, and stay on mission with Him. When the early church devoted themselves to these rhythms, needs were met, communities were changed, and people came to know Jesus daily. The same will be true for us—our devotion to these practices is how God will grow His Kingdom through ordinary people like us. The challenge for us will be simple: don't just attend church—be the church. Commit yourself to learning from God's Word, building genuine fellowship, remembering Jesus through Communion, and practicing prayer. These may seem like small things, but in God's Kingdom, they are the big things. Just as the early church changed the world through devotion to these rhythms, God will bring transformation in your life, your family, our community, and beyond when we do the same. To learn how this can apply to your life, take a few minutes and check out, Being The Church.

    Are you stuck trying to figure out your next move? Maybe you've got the talent, the passion, and even the drive—but you're wrestling with doubt, outside pressure, or the fear of failure. What if the real problem isn't the obstacles in front of you, but the mindset you carry into the fight? What would it look like to bet on yourself fully—no plan B, no safety net—and actually win?Today's guest, Greg Siewers, knows that battle better than most. Known to many as the Michael Jordan of paintball, Greg turned an obsession he discovered at age nine into a professional career that took him around the world, earning multiple world championships and representing Team USA. But Greg's story doesn't stop with sports. He's a serial risk-taker who carried the lessons of elite competition into entrepreneurship—building gyms from scratch, scaling them to six-figure revenues, selling them at a profit, and now launching a supplement brand with the same relentless drive.Greg Siewers is a former World Champion paintball player, multi-gym owner, and now CEO of MAPtrition Supplements. His goal is to simplify fitness and nutrition for all levels as he works toward reaching 1,000,000 people, helping them become healthier, happier, and more dangerous versions of themselves. Known as the Michael Jordan of paintball by fans of the sport, Greg has translated the mindset of elite competition into entrepreneurship—building gyms, scaling them to six-figure revenues, selling them for profit, and now creating a supplement brand rooted in integrity and performance.What makes Greg unique isn't just his achievements—it's the way he translates the high-pressure mindset of world-class athletics into the everyday grind of business and life. He knows what it means to silence doubt, push past resistance, and take risks others wouldn't dare to try. And in this conversation, he shares exactly how you can apply those same principles to your own journey—whether you're building a business, chasing a dream, or simply trying to lead yourself and others with confidence.Quotes:"If I just keep trying. As miserable as it is, it's okay if it's miserable, but if I keep trying, it'll work." "There was no plan B. If everything burned to the ground, I'm so able and willing to work hard to build it again that it won't matter." "No one can teach you that. So the fact that you failed and are willing to do it again, you now have a stack of undeniable proof that you are willing and able to do that thing." Actionable Takeaways:Bet on yourself with no plan B. Ask: If I stripped away the safety nets, would I still go all in? Write down one area of your life where you've been holding back out of fear—and commit to a decisive action this week.Focus on the “first 10 seconds.” Like Greg visualized the opening play in paintball, break down your next big challenge into the smallest first step. What's the single action that will get you moving forward today?Reframe failure. Instead of asking, What if I fail? ask, What would I learn if I failed—and how would I rebuild? Journal through both the worst-case and best-case outcomes of a risk you're considering.Surround yourself with A-players. Evaluate your circle—are the people closest to you challenging you to grow, or are you the smartest person in the room? Commit to connecting with one mentor, peer, or network that's operating at the next level.Choose purpose over noise. Identify the “signal” that actually drives your goals and cut one distraction this week—whether it's chasing trends, busywork, or other people's opinions.Conclusion:Greg's journey proves that greatness isn't about avoiding failure—it's about having the courage to step into uncertainty, commit fully, and outlast everyone else. Whether on the paintball field, in the gym, or in business, his story is a reminder that betting on yourself is the most powerful investment you can ever make.

    Title: You'll Never Be Ready - So Stop WaitingHost: Jim FrawleyTheme: “Readiness” is a socially acceptable form of procrastination. Action creates readiness; waiting doesn't.Episode SummaryIf you're waiting until it feels safe, you'll wait forever. In this episode, Jim dismantles the myth of “being ready” and shows why we hide behind planning, perfectionism, and permission-based thinking. Through real-world examples-from founders and athletes to new leaders-he outlines how progress happens in motion. You'll leave with concrete tools: the smallest viable action, the 24-hour rule, the five-minute rule, and a practical way to separate skill prep from courage prep so you can finally move on the goals you keep postponing.Key TakeawaysReadiness is often code for wanting safety. Safety isn't coming; momentum is a choice.Planning can be useful, but over-planning becomes fear disguised as productivity.Action before clarity: reality reveals itself only once you start.Separate skill gaps from courage gaps. Skills are trained; courage is exercised.Use deadlines, the 24-hour rule, and five-minute actions to force movement.Permission-based mindsets from school and work do not map to the chaos of real life or business.If you won't act, stop pretending it's a priority-reclaim the mental bandwidth.Timestamps & Chapters00:00 - Cold open: “You're not waiting to be ready-you're waiting for it to be safe.”02:00 - Readiness as socially acceptable procrastination04:10 - The brain's safety bias and fear of social rejection07:00 - Technical comfort vs. relational leadership: why many stall out10:00 - Why life isn't linear: business plans vs. reality12:30 - Action before clarity: the feedback loop that actually builds readiness15:00 - Three examples: founder, athlete, newly promoted leader19:40 - Practical tools: smallest viable action, 24-hour rule, five-minute rule23:30 - Skill prep vs. courage prep26:00 - Deadlines, consequences, and moving past over-preparation28:30 - Closing challenge: if you won't act, take it off the listPractical Tools MentionedSmallest Viable Action: Identify the tiniest step that moves the goal forward now.24-Hour Rule: If you think of it, take some step within 24 hours.Five-Minute Rule: Do one action that takes less than five minutes toward your biggest goal today.Skill vs. Courage Audit: Write two columns-what skills you must train versus what actions require courage.Hard Deadline: Put a real date on the calendar. Commit publicly.Notable Lines“The plan is useful; planning is indispensable-but the plan won't survive first contact with reality.”“Preparation is good. Overpreparation is fear in disguise.”“Courage cannot be preloaded; it can only be exercised.”“Permission isn't coming. Safety isn't coming.

    In this episode, I open up about one of the most frustrating parts of the healing process—when the results don't seem to match the effort you're putting in. Whether it's journaling, therapy, coaching, or trying to rebuild trust, it's easy to wonder if all your hard work is even making a difference. I've been there too, and I know how discouraging it can feel. I share why this “lag phase” is actually part of growth, how seeds take time to take root, and why redefining success in small, everyday shifts can help you keep moving forward. You'll hear personal stories from my own journey and learn how to stay grounded in your “why” even when outcomes aren't immediate. If you've ever felt stuck or questioned your worth because change wasn't happening fast enough, this episode is for you. Takeaways: Why progress often happens “underground” before you see it. How to recalibrate your expectations during healing. Why consistency matters more than quick results. Simple ways to redefine success and stay encouraged. You don't have to go through this alone.

    Selling To Corporate
    Sharing insights: 2025 B2B sales trends for the second half of the year

    Selling To Corporate

    It's September, Jess's favourite month of the year as it's her birthday and historically, it's the best time of year to sell to corporate companies.    But, as 2025 continues to shape up as a tumultuous “year of chaos,” she's taking a fresh look at whether this golden window for B2B sales still holds up in today's market. In this episode, Jess gets real about the trends and challenges you can expect in the final sales quarter, including everything from shifting B2C strategies and income-grabbing tactics to the impact of economic and political changes on the corporate buying landscape. She'll also share why having a strong, adaptable sales process is more critical than ever—and how the rise of external suppliers, increased market competition, and changing budget cycles could affect your ability to land corporate clients. Jess also reveals the launch of the brand new Expert Services Directory—a proactive marketing platform connecting coaches, consultants, and service providers with over 16,000 decision-makers across the UK. So pour yourself a cup of coffee and join Jess as she unpacks what it REALLY takes to succeed Selling to Corporate this September, and how you can position yourself for success during the most pivotal quarter of the year. Here's what you need to know: 1. Why B2C Turbulence Impacts B2B Sales The entrepreneurial online space is, frankly, a bit wild right now. Between income grabs, desperate sales tactics, and people pivoting into new offers, the B2C market is flooded. But when solopreneurs can't make it B2C, they turn to Selling to Corporate — which means more competition (and, sometimes, less trust) in our B2B world. 2. Your Sales Process Matters More Than Ever Luck-based B2B sales? That's so 2019. This year, decision makers are wary and more selective about external suppliers—thanks to past overpromises and under-deliveries. The result: if your sales process isn't dialed in, you're set up for feast-and-famine revenue or worse, no results at all. Ask yourself: Are you consistently booking 5 (or more) qualified sales calls a month? Are you closing at least 3 out of every 5 calls? Does it take you more than 90 days to go from cold lead to signed client (for deals under 100k)? If you're not hitting those marks, it's time for a tune up. 3. The Opportunity Is Still Massive – IF You're Positioned Right Despite the uncertainty, over 58% of companies are more likely to hire external suppliers this year. Projects are unfinished, budgets need spending, and corporate resources are at their limits – they want outside help, and now's your chance. But, you need to stand out from the surge of new “consultants” and “coaches” sliding in from the struggling B2C arena. September still holds enormous potential for selling to corporate clients – but only for those with a strong sales process. This isn't the time to rely on word-of-mouth or dabble half-heartedly. Commit, get strategic, and focus on genuine lead generation and relationship-building.   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Click ​​https://expertservicesdirectory.com/ to check out The Expert Services Directory.   If you want to learn more about The Expert Services Directory, click here: http://bit.ly/4f3ch1I   If you've enjoyed listening to How educating decision makers is screwing your sales process check out these other episodes that may be of interest.   STC053 Why September is your best time to sell to corporate organisations -  https://bit.ly/SellingtoCorporate053   STC107 How you can create a top performer sales mindset - https://bit.ly/SellingToCorporate107                  Converting Corporates is the B2B sales event of the year for service based entrepreneurs, if you want to join the waitlist for 2026 click the link https://smartleaderssell.vipmembervault.com/cc2026waitlist   If you would like to sign up for our weekly newsletter to stay in touch with the latest B2B sales tips and techniques click https://sellingtocorporate.com/newsletter/   Content Disclaimer The information contained above is provided for information purposes only.

Her episode reading recommendation: Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript:   Kiera Dent (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners, this is Kiera. And today I just want to give you a quick tactical, amazing, miracle morning recap. I have a friend in my life right now who is just struggling and I struggled last year and like I realized, my gosh, like maybe it's time for me to give you guys a quick boost on how we can create a little bit more momentum, a little bit more magnetism in our lives with a lot of ease. So if that's what you're here for, I'm here. Today's more about a life rather than a tactical tip.   but I believe that this tactical tip is going to set your DNA up to be the successful practice, the successful office manager, the successful hygienist, successful team member, giving you the DNA and the blueprint for it. So my name is Kiera. We love helping dental offices, their teams and their doctors and their patients truly live life at a higher level to be happier, to be more fulfilled, to be more profitable, to say yes to more things in your life. We call the yes model. You as a person being fulfilled, happy, vibrant.   E stands for earnings and profitability and S stands for systems and team development. Like let's put the systems in place. Let's teach you the tacticals, but let's make sure we get the DNA right. ⁓ Miracle Morning was a book that came into my life by Hal Elrod at such a vibrant time. I was at my lowest of my lows and I just needed almost like ⁓ a roadmap out. And I feel like this book was so magical and so powerful for me. And I just really, really, really appreciate it. So ⁓ I'm going to give you guys like kind of a rift on it.   But like helping you just get this into your life. Because like I said, my friend is just struggling, high anxiety, burnout, feeling like, can't I be, like, why can't I do this? A new mom, feeling just truly burdened and down. And I remember I was talking to them and they said, Kiera, I just don't understand. Like, I feel like I should be able to do this and I feel like I can't and I don't understand why. And I thought, gosh, how many people feel this day in and day out? Like all of us.   And that's the lie is we all think that everyone else can figure this out and I'm just the schmuck and I just don't know how to do it when it's all just a stupid lie. And I'm so irritated about it because the life experiences that we're having right now are truly gifts to us to help us evolve into the person we ultimately want to become. if you could realize that the challenges we're facing right now are truly the gift of your soul to propel you into the version of yourself that you need to be.   is something so hard to comprehend when you're going through it, but so easy when you're on the other side, like, wow, that was the greatest gift life ever gave me. And remember life is always happening for you and not to you. So how Elrod, like it just helped me have like a routine, like a routine of pieces. So like I said, I'm just going to break it down for you. He goes through what he calls are the lifesavers. And the lifesavers on there are S stands for silence, A stands for affirmations, V stands for visualization, E stands for exercise, R stands for reading.   and S stands for scribing. So on the silence, the way he describes it, it's like, be quiet in your mind and block out the chatter through meditation, prayer, or focused breathing. Okay, so I do it, I do meditation in the morning. I love Joe Dispenza, that's the one who's come in for me for a long time, I didn't. I've done calm, I've done lots of different things, prayer, whatever it is, but the goal is to quiet our mind. And I believe that our mind is like a muscle and we need to strengthen it. And so this is a great way to almost do like bodybuilding for the mind is to every day.   just have a moment and like a time of silence. And I usually do this before I start my day. So it's kind of like setting myself up, building that foundation, creating this affirmations, tell yourself encouraging words to achieve goals, overcome fears and feel happy. And what they've proven is like one thing that I love about Joe dispense is he talks about like the future causes anxiety and the past causes depression. And how can we be in this future moment in this present moment? And then how can we create our future and actually break the pattern and the habit of things that are known and create an unknown?   of what we actually want to become. So when we do these affirmations of like X, Y, Z, and then we go followed up with the visualization, a visualization, imagine yourself doing things you need to for the day in your future life and imagine what it feels like to succeed. So for me, it's like, what is that? Like, don't have to say that he's always like, what is that future life? Like I hear him in my head because I listen to him every single day, but it's like visualizing, like, what do you want to be? How do you want your life to be? Who do you want to be? And I was like, what things? you're   You're basically creating this future that's pulling you, that's compelling, that's something you don't know. And you're able to like literally bring this into your world. Now, I'm not gonna lie to you, this is not an overnight sensation. It's something that you build up over time. But it's really beautiful when we're giving ourselves affirmations, which I have like a ton of I am statements. And then we go into E stands for exercise. So doing something of movement. It can be a one minute movement, but like just go for a walk or a jog. Getting moving allows the blood and oxygen to flow to your brain.   like my morning walk, like the shower for my brain, clear out all those cobwebs before I take off, doing something to honor my body which is this beautiful billion dollar asset that I have that I promise and committed to treating her with so much respect and love. R stands for reading. Fill your brain with positive thoughts and ideas to improve yourself. So any type of reading, anything, even if it's like two minutes like you could grab, but it's not scrolling, it's something of positive. Like you'd be shocked at how many books you get through if you'll just read like a page of morning. ⁓   to just fill your mind with something positive. And then S stands for scribing, write a journal to process thoughts and reflect on what you've achieved. So they have the short and condensed version of the savers, because I was like, wow, that feels like a lot. But again, it gave me a roadmap. So like, cool, I do meditation. Then I visualize within my meditation. Then I have affirmations. My husband says his affirmations in the shower. Like, truly, that's not a joke. Or he says that on his drive to work. And then we have our exercise. We have our reading. And we have our scribing.   I have cut a few of these things down. That's like the quick down dirty formula for it. And so for me, what I try to do in my journal is every morning I do what I'm grateful for, accomplishments I had from the day before, because I want to build that momentum. I do my improvements. And sometimes I just do one. I don't give myself any more than three. So my improvement was live in gratitude more. That was my improvement. I just want to see where life is more abundant and beautiful for me. That was my improvement. So it's nothing hard. It's nothing berating. It's truly just that.   I always do a portion of joy, like what was my greatest joy from yesterday? What's my self love? That one was really hard for me. I put that in and I had to write three things that I loved about myself, whether it was physically, mentally. So the one I wrote in here is that I love my brilliant mind. What's wild is like, why are we not our best friend? Like, why do I not look in the mirror every day and be like, gosh, girl, I just love you I'm so grateful for you. Like, why not be the biggest cheerleader for ourselves? So that was a big thing for me. I write down my goals of what I want to achieve.   And then what are my results for that day that I want to accomplish? So that's my scribing. Journaling for some reason makes me feel weird. It's been a few years block for me that I haven't been able to journal. So that's kind of my quick formula. And then just so you guys know, I have my like just a couple IM statements of like four year affirmations. I say, I am creative. I have growth and expansion. I am love. I have divine connection and collaboration. I have self love and compassion. I am honest. I have an abundant mindset. I'm fun and playful.   I have trust and flow, I have queen strength. So those are just a few. And then some of my affirmations are like, my success is inevitable. This is one that I always have like, hold on, I'll read you my favorite one. I'm 100 % committed to being so dang good people can't ignore me. Kierda is a name that is known across the world for good and for changing those she touches through word, deed and presence. And that's who I wanna be. That's how I wanna show up in this world. I also love this one. I am committed. Let me read this one to you.   ⁓ I think this one's just funny. ⁓ I am committed and choose to be happy each day by laughing so hard, doing super fun things weekly. So just some like really fun things for you. I have another one. This was at a time in my life where I did not have great relationships in my life. So it's been on here for almost nine years. It says I am 100 % committed to only having healthy, positive relationships in my life. I immediately cut out toxicity from my life. ⁓   I am 100 % committed to being grateful for the amazing life that is already mine and continue to watch success, joy, money, grace, friendships, employees. Yes, I added employees. Don't worry, that was for surely added. And happiness flowed to me with ease, acceleration, and continuity. So for you, I hope whatever it is, whatever your version of Savers is, whatever your version of Miracle Morning is, that you remember that you are the greatest asset, that you're choosing you, that you are showing up for other people.   This is the dumb analogy that I hate, but it's true. Put the oxygen mask on you first to give to other people. This is your breath of oxygen. This is your, whoosh, is the way to have a simple foundation for you every morning to prime your mind. For me, I feel like, why don't I prime my mind for what I want to see rather than priming my mind for whatever comes in my way? I truly believe that I am a creator of my life, not a manager of my circumstances. And I want to be creating this beautiful, abundant, radiant version of me.   And I hope that you want that for you too. I will tell you when I first started this, 90 % of what I just read to you, I didn't believe and I didn't feel and I didn't think was mine. And over time, after doing it day in and day out, and it's not lying to myself, it's just again, like Jodis Benz says, it's not looking forward and causing anxiety and it's not looking in the past and causing depression, but being present and then co-creating my future life of what I want, what I believe, what I can create, and then allowing that to come to me.   with ease, grace, continuity. So if you need help with this, not only do we coach on dentistry, but we also help people become the best versions of themselves. And I hope that you just take this because life's too short. We are going to have bumps, we're going to have bruises, we're going to have pieces come through. But what I hope is that you're able to find hopefully something in this miracle morning to give yourself the foundation, the ritual, the routine, the system for your life to give you the extraordinary life that you deserve. If we can help you reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com.   I hope you choose you. I hope you choose to love you the most. I hope you realize that giving yourself 10 minutes, 15 minutes a day is the greatest gift you can give yourself for everything that your body and soul does for you day in and day out. Commit, love yourself, and if we can help, like I said, reach out. I'm betting on you and I hope you are too. And as always, thanks for listening, and I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

    This episode provides a powerful and practical 3-step framework for building unstoppable habits to create your dream life. Inspired by the wisdom of Jim Rohn, Randy explains that the secret to having more is becoming more, and the key to becoming more is mastering your daily habits. He breaks down a simple yet effective system for eliminating bad habits and stacking good ones. Listeners will learn the "Zero Day Mindset" to ensure daily progress, the importance of conducting an "Environment Audit" to remove distractions and set yourself up for success, and how to create a "Reward Loop" to make new habits stick. This is a concise, no-fluff guide to transforming your life by transforming your daily actions.   Key Takeaways: The foundation of building your dream life is mastering your daily habits. Step 1: The Zero Day Mindset. Commit to making at least some progress on your new habit every single day, no matter how small. Never let a day end at zero. Step 2: The Environment Audit. Proactively design your surroundings to make good habits easy and bad habits difficult. Remove distractions and set up visual cues for success. Step 3: The Reward Loop. Attach a meaningful, personal reward to the consistent practice of your new habit to reinforce the behavior and make it enjoyable. Habits are stackable; mastering one good habit (like journaling) makes it easier to build others in different areas of your life, such as health and productivity. Don't beat yourself up if you fall backward or miss a day. Acknowledge it, learn from it, and get right back on track without self-judgment.   Questions Answered in This Episode: What is the secret to building habits that actually stick? How can I achieve my biggest goals faster and with more ease? What is the "Zero Day Mindset" and how can it guarantee daily progress? How does your physical environment affect your ability to build good habits? What are the best ways to design your environment for success? What is a "Reward Loop" and why is it essential for habit formation? How do you stay motivated when building a new habit that feels difficult? What is the one simple habit that can change the entire trajectory of your life?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Jim Rohn.

Discipleship was never meant to end with you; it was designed to multiply through you.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“…and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.” — 2 Timothy 2:2 (ESV)Paul's instruction to Timothy shows us the multiplication model:* Receive from a faithful teacher.* Entrust it to faithful people.* Equip them to teach others.It's a chain of discipleship that spans generations. But here's the problem—many believers break the chain by holding onto what they've learned without passing it on.Multiplication requires intentionality. It's not about being a spiritual “expert”; it's about being available and willing. You might think, “I'm not ready to mentor someone.” But Jesus didn't wait until His disciples had it all together—He began training them while they were still learning.To multiply disciples, you must:* Model the life of a disciple—live what you teach.* Mentor intentionally—walk with people through their spiritual growth.* Mobilize them—equip them to serve, lead, and disciple others.This is more than a Bible study—it's life-on-life investment. It means inviting people into your world, letting them see your faith in action, and teaching them to follow Christ not just with knowledge but with their whole lives.When you multiply disciples, your influence for the Kingdom extends far beyond your own life. You're planting seeds in people who will reach others you may never meet. That's the power of Kingdom multiplication—it never stops.If your faith has changed you, don't let it stop with you. Pass it on. Multiply it. Leave a legacy of disciples who make disciples.Question of the Day:Who is one person you can begin intentionally discipling this month?Mini Call to Action:Pray and ask God to highlight someone in your life to begin walking with spiritually. Commit to meeting regularly and sharing what you've learned in Christ.Prayer:Lord, thank You for those who have poured into my life and helped me grow in You. Give me eyes to see those around me who are ready to be discipled. Give me the courage to step out, the humility to serve, and the wisdom to guide them closer to You. Help me to multiply what You've placed in me for Your Kingdom's sake. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Don't just be a disciple—become a disciple-maker who leaves a spiritual legacy that multiplies for generations.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

    You don't have to change everything in your life at once, but if you choose to make a major transformation, and stay committed, you will become unstoppable. I know it's often tempting to wait for outside forces to move you to make a change, but that rarely works to create a really thriving life. When I switched from a life of crisis and then triumph into a life of constant growth, there were a few big obstacles to overcome.  I had to learn to stay committed through the doubt, fear, and frustration. I had to develop more faith and trust in myself. And, I had to start changing my home to reflect the changes I was making.  Today's 10 minute podcast is all about making these life-changing decisions.   The School of Intention Professional Feng Shui Certification Program is now open for Registration and you can join us here: https://www.fengshuimagical.com/sign-up-for-school-info?

    Social media strategist, author, and TEDx speaker, Robin Nathaniel, unpacks the connection between human relationships and digital platforms. With fresh ideas and candid energy, Robin introduces his SYNC Method—a framework designed to help nonprofits create authentic, meaningful engagement online.Robin explains, “S is for simple. Messages you can say in four words—don't say in twenty. Don't overcomplicate your story.” He challenges organizations to focus less on technical jargon and more on clarity. The “Y” stands for Yield—yielding to intention. Instead of just pushing events, campaigns, or donation requests, he urges nonprofits to ask themselves what feelings and actions they want their audiences to experience before hitting “post.”“N” is for Natural. Too often, Robin points out, organizations spend hours in the “makeup room,” worrying about lighting, graphics, and backgrounds. Instead, he recommends the “best friend test”: write and speak in a way your closest friend would understand. Finally, “C” is for Change It Up. Social media is not a box-checking exercise. Robin stresses adaptability: experiment, reset, and test new content approaches as platforms evolve.Nonprofits often overwhelm supporters by blasting out too much information at once. Robin's framework offers a more human and sustainable way forward. He also adds a crucial reminder: “The real measure isn't clicks or conversions. It's how you improve the lives of the people receiving your content.”The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when Robin shares his Joy Audit, developed after the tragic loss of his brother. By redefining his life through the lenses of Create, Connect, and Contribute, Robin discovered how to realign time and energy toward purpose—linking directly to nonprofit burnout, recognizing how leaders often wear multiple hats without space for renewal. Robin takes the time to lay out a Nonprofit Social Media Startup Plan:1.     Identify bandwidth and the right person for the role.2.     Define your true audience.3.     Learn where they spend time online.4.     Match the right team skills to the right medium.5.     Commit to six months of consistent effort before reassessment.Investing in social media is not optional—it's fundable, scalable, and mission-enhancing.

    ⚠️ Are you protecting your faith? In Jude 17–19, we are reminded to remember what Jesus warned us about. That we need to protect our faith from the danger of being led away from God by lies, deception, and false teaching. In this message we dig into this sobering warning in Jude and see how it applies to our daily lives: How To Recognize Spiritual Danger Jude tells us there will be people who make fun of God's truth, live for their own desires, divide others, and are not led by the Spirit. These voices may come through culture, media, relationships, or even within the church. How can we identify them? How To Remember the Word The only way to recognize a lie is to know the truth. Jude calls us back to the words of the apostles—preserved for us in Scripture. We can't “remember” what we don't first know. Practical Steps for Everyday Faith • Establish a rhythm of opening God's Word in your home. • Commit to Scripture memory—individually or as a family. • Pay attention to what voices are shaping your worldview—friends, coworkers, media, music, or social feeds. Friends, the Christian life is not lived on autopilot. There is a battle for your soul. But God has given us His Word and His Spirit so we can stand firm, recognize deception, and cling to the truth.

    Revisiting Bliss Brain with Dr. Dawson Church: How to Rewire Your Brain in Minutes a Day

    In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits a popular interview with Dr. Dawson Church about his book Bliss Brain and the neuroscience of meditation. They explore how simple, evidence-based practices can quiet the brain's default mode, trigger blissful neurochemicals, and reshape stress and happiness networks. Listeners learn why happiness must be trained, how meditation helps people live more in the present, and practical tips to start a daily meditation practice using guided tools like the free Bliss Brain meditations. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's Episode 369, we are moving forward on our journey of the mind, to our next interview review, with our goal of building off of our past reviews, and sharpening our saw for improved well-being, productivity and success in 2025 and beyond. To review our last 3 episodes, with our interview with speaker Bob Proctor, we learned that “If we want to improve our RESULTS, we must focus on the six faculties of our mind—reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination.” “Devoting a year to developing each one would be time well invested, elevating us to greater heights and setting us apart from others.” Next, we looked at how we need to become extremely clear with our vision of “what we really want” and keep in mind that…. Our External Environment Reflects Our Internal World What exactly does this mean? It means that if we don't like what's happening in our external world—whether it's in our job, relationships, results, or any area of our life—we must first look inward. Our circumstances mirror the beliefs and thoughts we hold within. As James Allen reminds us in As a Man Thinketh: our outer world is always a reflection of our inner state. For today's Episode 369, we'll turn inward—sharpening our inner world so that we can transform the outer one. Today we go back EP 98[i] our interview with Dr. Dawson Church, that was recorded back in December of 2020, where we looked at the science behind implementing meditation into your daily routine. This interview is currently our most watched YouTube interview with over 11K views. This week, in our review of EP 98 with Dr. Dawson Church and his book Bliss Brain, we will explore how meditation can rewire the brain for happiness and presence. We will learn: ✔ Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, we must train our brain to achieve it. ✔ Our brains default to the past or future, constantly scanning for threats, instead of resting in the present moment. ✔ Extreme states of happiness are possible for all of us when we implement meditation consistently. ✔ How to commit to a daily meditation practice using the free meditations that come with Bliss Brain, or explore other guided programs until you find one that resonates with you Just a reminder-Dr. Church is the author of the book called Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity and Joy.[ii] He's an award-winning science writer who blends cutting-edge neuroscience with the stories of people who've had firsthand experience of brain change. Neural plasticity—the discovery that the brain is capable of rewiring itself—is now widely understood. But what few people have grasped yet is how quickly this is happening, how extensive brain changes can be, and how much control each of us exerts over the process of our thinking. It's been almost 5 years since this interview, and it feels like yesterday to me. I remember at the time, one of my dogs was barking in the yard when the landscapers came, and I was worried it would distract our interview. It didn't. I don't even think Dr. Church could hear them. There were also two other things that stuck out in my head from this interview (other than the fact I was wearing glasses trying to prepare for Lasik surgery and couldn't really see the questions) but I'll also never forget that American entrepreneur and biohacker Dave Asprey, who's well known for his interest in helping others achieve these elevated brain states, wrote the Foreword to his book. I also won't ever forget Chapter 1, of Bliss Brain, where Dr. Church shares how he and his wife lost their home and pets in the 2017 Santa Rose Fire, yet they chose to focus on gratitude and rebuilding their lives with joy. This story highlights his teaching that even trained minds struggle under pressure, but with meditation and practice, we can shift into a bliss or flow state. Church's EcoMeditation method, (that he covers in his book) supported by science and praised by Dave Asprey in the Foreword, helps quiet the brain's Default Mode Network[iii] and quickly releases calming, pleasurable chemicals—in as little as four minutes. Dr. Church has a strong following, and there are many powerful testimonials at the start of his book. One we spoke about in our interview was from Toni Tombleson who wrote: After a week of putting out a handful of mini-fires that often accompany the start of a new school year in my world, I can see why these lessons to handling both major life crises and everyday challenges, by learning to cultivate a “Bliss Brain” should remain a top priority for resilience, productivity, and well-being, for all of us. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch Which brings me to Video Clip 1 of our review. Watch video clip 1 with the link in the show notes. Historical Context: Dr. Church begins by reflecting on The Buddha, who over 2,000 years ago sought to relieve human suffering. He also reviews other spiritual teachers, including Plato, who grappled with the same question. Biological Explanation: Dr. Church emphasizes that suffering is a biological problem, a feature of how the human brain evolved. How our lives have become easier than they were 2,000 years ago. He explained to me how people are 3x as wealthy now, than they were 40 years ago. In terms of longevity, our lifespans have doubled in the last century. There are many markers like this that show us that we live in a much more secure and safe world than we used to. Key Point: While we live in a safer environment today, than 2,000 years ago, our brains were not designed for where we are today. We are not suffering he reminded me because we are bad people, we lack will, or haven't read enough personal growth books… “We simply didn't evolve to be happy because there was no survival benefit in being happy.”  Tip #1: Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, it's something we must train our brain to achieve. Practical Application: This is the basis of his book Bliss Brain, where he explains how meditation helps us train the brain to reach a bliss or flow state. It's in his book that we learn how to achieve this state that will change not only our brain, (our internal state) but our outer results in our everyday lives. In Chapter 2, he shows us why most people find it so hard to meditate. The difficulty has nothing to do with willpower or intention. It's simply due to the design of the human brain. When you understand this clearly, you'll be equipped to work around it. Chapter 3 describes the ecstatic states that you can achieve in meditation. He examines the regions of the brain that you activate, and what each one does. He also lists the extensive health and cognitive benefits that you get from activating each of those regions. In Chapter 4 you'll hear the story of his own personal failed meditation experiences. He learned many different styles of meditation, but could never establish a consistent practice. His breakthrough came from science. When he combined seven simple evidence-based practices together, found a formula that puts people into deep states automatically and involuntarily. No effort required. When he and his colleagues hook people up to EEGs and MRIs, they find that using these seven steps, even non-meditators get into profound states in less than 4 minutes. Sometimes in less than 50 seconds. Historically, the secrets of these states have been available to only about 1% of the population. Thanks to science, they're now available to everyone. Chapter 5 he goes into the seven neurochemicals of ecstasy. We learn how each one is like a drug that makes you feel good. But combine all seven together, and you have a potent formula that takes your brain into bliss. Meditation is the only way you get all seven at one time. The star of the show is a neurotransmitter called anandamide, aka “the bliss molecule.” When you trigger these ecstatic states daily, they change your brain. Chapter 6 is about the extensive brain remodeling that occurs in seasoned meditators. Stress circuits shrink, while happiness networks grow. But you don't need to be an adept to trigger this rewiring. It begins the very first week you meditate effectively. Chapter 7 is about post-traumatic growth, and how the brains of meditators make them resilient to the inevitable upsets of life. Medical crises and financial disasters included. It provides practical examples of how meditation can make you resilient even during global upheavals like the coronavirus panic that was happening at the time of this interview. Whatever challenges confront us, we will be well equipped to handle large and small life challenges. If we truly want to find happiness, then we will need to rewire our brain to accomplish these states. VIDEO 2 Click Here to Watch Watch video clip 2 with the link in the show notes. Question asked: “How can we learn to be more in the present moment, instead of somewhere else?” Dr. Church's explanation: The brain is hardwired to identify threats for survival. Today, most of us don't face immediate threats, but the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN) keeps scanning for danger. Without real threats, it replays past negative experiences (even from years ago or childhood) and projects fear into the future (“what if it happens again?”). This keeps us stuck in the past and future, not the present moment. Monks & meditation: Monks, after years of deep meditation, trained their brains differently. Brain scans showed structural changes—the brain literally began to shrink in areas related to stress and overthinking. Key Point: Our brains are not naturally wired to live in the present moment—they default to the past or future, scanning for threats. Tip #2: Get serious about meditation. Example: Australian astrophysicist & TV journalist Graham Phillips remodeled his brain in just 8 weeks of meditation practice. VIDEO 3 Click Here to Watch Watch video clip 3 with the link in the show notes. In this clip, Dr. Church explains how “meditation changes everything” and why “20 years ago, he decided to make this commitment to daily meditation” sharing how his whole world changed after this. These are noticeable changes that were behind his motivation to write this book, Bliss Brain, to show the world how they too can reach these states of extreme happiness. He told us to go back and study historical figures who were clearly in altered states of being, like the Italian Catholic Preacher, Saint Francis of Assisi, who appears in a blissed-out state as we see in a drawing, where it looks like he is communicating with God or something divine. This beautiful blissful state, that goes beyond happiness, is available to all of us. We will cover more about the changes our brains undergo with meditation as we go back to review our interview #28 with clinical professor of psychiatry from the UCLA school of medicine, Dr. Dan Siegel[iv], on a later episode, but for now, we can conclude that we can in fact change our outside world, in a significant and powerful way, by dedicating ourselves to a daily meditation practice. Key Point: We can ALL reach this state of extreme happiness by implementing a daily meditation practice. Tip 3: We can get started with our own meditation practice (if we are not currently implementing one) by using the FREE mediations that come along with the Bliss Brain Book Or use whatever meditation program resonates with you. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION Episode 369 Wrap-Up: Bliss Brain Review with Dr. Dawson Church This week, in our review of EP 98 with Dr. Dawson Church and his book Bliss Brain, we explored how meditation can rewire the brain for happiness and presence. Key Point from Clip 1: Although we live in a safer world than 2,000 years ago, our brains weren't designed for today's environment. “We simply didn't evolve to be happy because there was no survival benefit in being happy.” Tip #1: Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, we must train our brain to achieve it. Key Point from Clip 2: Our brains default to the past or future, constantly scanning for threats, instead of resting in the present moment. Tip #2: Commit to meditation—like astrophysicist and TV journalist Graham Phillips, who saw powerful changes after just 8 weeks of his daily practice that helped him to focus in the present moment. Key Point from Clip 3: Extreme states of happiness are possible for all of us when we implement meditation consistently. Tip #3: Start small. Use the free meditations that come with Bliss Brain, or explore other guided programs until you find one that resonates with you I highly recommend watching the full interview with Dr. Church[v]—especially if you've struggled to stay consistent with your own practice. Even Dr. Church himself shares moments where he lost momentum, which is a reminder that this is a journey for all of us. Personally, I've cycled through different meditation programs—starting with John Assaraf's work, then moving on to Dr. Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness, using Dr. Church's Bliss Brain meditations, and now practicing Dr. Joe Dispenza's chakra-focused work. The program you choose matters less than your ability to make it a consistent daily practice—that's when the real brain changes occur. We'll see you next week as we continue exploring the Journey of the Mind, working on connecting practical science to improve our inner and outer world.

If you listen to our conversation, you can't hear an ounce of hate, regret or bitterness in his voice and I wonder if I'd be able to be the same if I had walked in his shoes. Could you?Hey!

    From Genesis to Relevation, God's mandate has always been the same: Be fruitful and multiply. But this command is about more than filling the earth with people. It's about making disciples, for every nation and generation. This week, we continue our INTENTIONAL series by leaning into God's unchanging call to multiply His Kingdom, through discipleship. The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

    What Team are You On? Choosing Growth After Infidelity

    In this episode of Heal From Infidelity, I dive into one of the most powerful analogies I've used with clients: asking the question, What team are you on? When betrayal shakes your world, it's easy to question your worth and wonder why your partner seems to show up differently elsewhere. But often, the truth isn't about your value—it's about which “team” each person chooses to play on. I share insights from my own experiences and client conversations about what it means to hold yourself to a higher standard, to face pain instead of avoiding it, and to recognize when someone is willing—or unwilling—to meet you on the same field. Sometimes your partner may actually be on the same team but playing a different role. Other times, they may simply not be willing to put in the effort required to compete at that level. This episode is a call to stand firmly in your truth, choose your team intentionally, and stop making someone else's choices mean less about you. Takeaways: Why your partner's actions don't define your worth How to recognize if you're truly on the same “team” The role of resilience and facing pain in real healing Choosing higher standards without making yourself wrong If you're ready to find clarity and strength after betrayal, I'd love to walk alongside you.
