In this episode of Anything But Average, Brittany and Christina dive into a very real conversation about health, healing, and the wake-up calls our bodies sometimes give us. Brittany shares the unexpected experience of landing in the hospital for an emergency appendectomy, walking through the symptoms, the fast-moving hospital visit, surgery, and what recovery has actually looked like in the days following. From the anxiety of not knowing what was happening to realizing how incredible the human body truly is, this experience became a powerful reminder about paying attention to the signals our bodies send. Christina also opens up about her own health journey right now, including ongoing back issues, exploring peptides, and the work required to maintain strength, mobility, and resilience. Together they unpack: • What happens when your body forces you to slow down • The importance of acting quickly when something feels off • Recovery, patience, and giving your body the time it needs • Exploring new tools and therapies that support healing • Why health awareness and self-care should never be optional   This conversation is honest, reflective, and a reminder that even the strongest, most driven people still need to listen to their bodies. Sometimes the biggest lesson is simply this: health is everything.

Every relationship has a price tag. The question isn't whether you'll pay it. It's whether you'll pay it now or pay it later.In Week 4 of our Let's Talk... series, Pastor Grant gets real about what it actually costs to build relationships that last, and why so many of us are letting the most important connections in our lives slowly fade without even realizing it. From marriage to friendship to your walk with God, no relationship thrives without intentional investment.In this message, you'll discover the three costs every relationship requires:Time because proximity and presence aren't the same thing.Commitment because loyalty isn't a feeling or a post. It's a pattern of behavior proven by action, not words.Courage because faith without courage is really no faith at all.Whatever relationship in your life feels distant right now, this message is for you.

How to Build True Mental Flexibility Without Falling into the Trap of Stubbornness In this episode, I'm diving into a distinction that I believe is the difference between lasting success and total burnout: the gap between true resilience and hidden resistance. We often celebrate persistence and endurance as the ultimate virtues in leadership and personal growth. But I've observed that sometimes what we call "strength" is actually fear in disguise. It's rigidity masquerading as discipline, or ego pretending to be loyalty to an old idea. I want to challenge the idea that resilience is about holding on at all costs. To me, real resilience is about knowing when to stay committed and—more importantly—knowing when to adapt. By the end of this episode, you'll learn how to recognize exactly when your persistence has turned into stubborn resistance. My goal is to help you develop a wiser, more flexible approach to your growth so you can stay strong without becoming rigid, allowing you to move forward while protecting what truly matters.

In this week's Grow Guides episode, we take an honest look at the realities of growing at home. The things people don't always talk about before starting their first setup. We break down the true cost of growing, from equipment and electricity to the hidden expenses that can creep in over time. We also discuss the time commitment required to properly care for plants, and why growing isn't quite as “set and forget” as some people might think. The conversation also moves into practical considerations like managing noise, smell, and privacy, especially for growers trying to keep things discreet at home. From loud extraction fans to odour control, these are factors every grower needs to plan for. We also discuss burnout and over-scaling, a common trap where growers expand too quickly and end up overwhelmed, and we finish by exploring the mental side of growing, the patience, discipline, and mindset that help turn a stressful grow into an enjoyable and rewarding one. This episode is all about keeping expectations realistic and helping growers build setups they can actually manage long term.

What does it look like when a firm stops just talking about diversity and starts building a tangible pathway for the next generation of architects?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee is joined by Leah Alissa Bayer, founding principal of Architects Fora, and Gabriella Vaz de Freitas, the firm's Technology Lead and a former recipient of the "FORAship." Leah shares how her fully remote, women-owned firm moved beyond industry-wide conversations about the "pipeline problem" to create a structured, year-long scholarship and internship program. Gabriella, who moved from São Paulo to California, provides a firsthand account of how the program's financial support and intentional mentorship allowed her to transition from a student to a leader in AI-enabled design and firm technology.The conversation explores the mechanics of the FORAship, an immersive experience designed specifically for underrepresented students. Unlike traditional internships, this program integrates students into business management conversations and specialty research, ensuring they have a seat at the table from day one. Leah discusses the strategic advantage of investing in international students and entry-level talent, while Gabriella explains how she leveraged her role to spearhead the firm's adoption of generative design tools and new visualization workflows."Our profession is only as strong as those that are coming into it after us. And it's our job to make the space and support system for that to happen." - Leah Alissa BayerBeyond the logistics of the scholarship, the episode delves into the benefits of a fully remote practice for mentorship and firm culture. Leah shares her "five-year goal" of creating a cohort of small firms to rotate internships, making the process more manageable for employers and more impactful for students. For those navigating the transition to practice, especially international students requiring visa sponsorship, Gabriella's journey offers a roadmap for finding firms whose missions truly align with their personal and professional values.Guests:Leah Alissa Bayer, AIA, NOMA, NCARB is a founding principal of Architects Fora, a fully remote, women-owned firm focused almost exclusively on affordable and restorative housing design. A former local AIA component president, she is dedicated to creating better work environments where diverse populations can succeed.Gabriella Vaz de Freitas is the Technology Lead at Architects Fora and a former Fora Ship recipient. Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, she graduated from Cal Poly and now specializes in AI-enabled design processes, graphic communication, and the implementation of generative tools.This episode is especially for you if:✅ You are tired of "token gestures" and want to see how a small firm can build a legitimate program around equity and belonging.✅ You want to understand the logistics of running a combined scholarship and paid internship program.✅ You are an international student seeking advice on finding firms that support non-U.S. citizen applicants and visa sponsorship.✅ You are curious about how to manage and mentor entry-level staff effectively in a fully remote environment.✅ You want to hear how a new graduate can lead technology research and AI implementation within a firm.What have you done to take action lately?

The time has come for a new apostle in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Clark G. Gilbert; time for your podcast hosts to rise to the occasion with another Apostolic Profile episode. He escaped the religious persecution Mormons often suffer growing up in Scottsdale, AZ, to go to BYU. Then off to Harvard for business, to acquire more useful skills for his forthcoming career in the Church Education System (CES). Before CES, however, Gilbert was responsible for trimming all the fat at Deseret News, which amounted to firing 40% of the workforce and shifting it to an unabashedly apologetic mission statement defending the church. Once appointed to CES, Gilbert instituted a series of Orwellian surveillance systems at BYU to punish thought crime; Ernest Wilkinson would be proud and Jeffrey Holland finally has a man to fire some muskets. Now Gilbert joins as the youngest apostle, securing his future position as prophet circa 2050s-70s. This "disruptive innovator" has a lot of new ideas to keep the church as extremist-conservative as is legally permissible heading into the 22nd century. This call to the Apostleship by Dallin Oaks ensures Oaks' legacy remains long after he's become a shepherd of worms. Patrons get a bonus segment comparing Gilbert's interviews at Deseret News and SL Tribune immediately after his ordination, which tangentially serves as a case study for the deterioration of journalism at Deseret Media, due to Gilbert himself. After that, it's our next installment of Oaks' book, Pure in Heart, where he discusses the importance of mindset and intentionality when rendering service, especially for the church. We end with happy news about a potential future cure for Type 1 Diabetes.    Show Notes:  Clark Gilbert https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_G._Gilbert Gilbert's likely tenure as future prophet https://www.reddit.com/r/mormon/comments/1r8c74x/on_his_first_day_in_the_q15_clark_g_gilbert/ Official press release https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/clark-gilbert-called-quorum-of-the-twelve-apostles Gilbert Op-ed for ChurchNewsroom https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/how-education-family-and-testimony-are-fundamental-in-the-life-of-elder-clark-g-gilbert The Parable of the Slope https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2021/10/16gilbert?lang=eng Disruptive Technologies: Catching the Wave https://hbr.org/1995/01/disruptive-technologies-catching-the-wave The Disruption Machine by Jill Lepore https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/06/23/the-disruption-machine Gilbert's profile on BYU Law and Wheatley Institute with law-focused talks https://www.religiousfreedomlibrary.org/authors/clark-g-gilbert Gilbert: Stewardship of Our First Freedom https://www.religiousfreedomlibrary.org/documents/the-stewardship-of-our-first-freedom#note-30 Gilbert: The Courage of Our Convictions https://www.religiousfreedomlibrary.org/documents/the-courage-of-our-convictions-how-religious-expression-goes-beyond-religious-liberty Gilbert: Dare to be Different https://www.deseret.com/2022/9/14/23319209/elder-clark-gilbert-religious-universities-should-dare-to-be-different/ American Disestablishment: The Conclusion by Miles Smith https://davenantinstitute.org/american-disestablishment-the-conclusion/ Disestablishmentarianism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disestablishmentarianism Governance and the Religion Question: Voluntaryism, Disestablishment, and America's Church-State Proposition by Carl H.

If so, what would you suggest doing? 12:22 Have you ever researched near-death experiences 14:09 Would you share your perspective on parenting 18:22 I once heard from someone working in hospice that life is never more vibrant than in places where people are dying. What has been your experience? 20:40 Have you ever had a supernatural experience? 22:03 My previous question referred to your experience accompanying others while they were dying.

Does this contradict the Four Noble Truths? 40:42 In your experience, is it easier to live your commitments openly as you grow older than it was when you were younger?

Ladies, let's talk about something real — there is a science to attraction. If you start dating from a place of loneliness, desperation, or just wanting someone, you're already out of alignment with the kind of love you say you want. The way you start is usually the way you finish. In this episode, I'm breaking down the three steps to mastering ethical seduction and how your feminine energy naturally influences a man's bonding biology. We're talking about: ✨ What it really means to master your feminine energy ✨ Why men bond through emotions — not what you do for them ✨ The hidden behaviors that sabotage attraction without you realizing it ✨ How men categorize women when they meet them ✨ Why raising your "stock value" changes the quality of men you attract After going on 100 dates in 3 months and studying the psychology and anthropology of attraction, I discovered a clear pattern: if you don't change your love blueprint, you will keep attracting the same relationship with a different face. But when you shift your energy, clear what's blocking you, and align with the woman you're meant to be, everything changes. The quality of men changes. Your options expand. And love starts to feel easy. This episode is about becoming the woman who naturally activates the right man's commitment and devotion — without chasing, forcing, or settling.

In this solo episode, Toni talks about the importance of lifelong socialization and shares honest reflections about her own learning curve with Grayson, her young rescue from Puerto Rico. While Layla was intentionally socialized from puppyhood and grew into a confident, adaptable dog, Toni admits she didn't give Grayson the same independent exposure early on — and is now seeing signs of fear and reactivity that require extra work to correct. She explains why socialization doesn't stop at one year old and must include new environments, different handlers, car rides, pet-friendly businesses, and time away from their primary person. Toni emphasizes that confidence must be built intentionally, and that independence reduces anxiety — especially when it comes to travel, emergencies, or changes in routine. The episode also explores how structure impacts behavior at home. By reclaiming leadership during feeding time — implementing down stays, wait cues, and less predictable routines — Toni saw noticeable improvements in overall calm and even resolved Layla's chronic pickiness. It's a candid reminder that small, consistent changes can create major behavioral shifts — and that it's never too late to adjust.

Send a textWhat does “right relationship” actually look like over nearly 50 years of partnership?This week on The UpLevel Podcast, join us for a deeply human and unexpectedly playful conversation as we sit down with Master Certified Coaches Cynthia and David Darst, senior faculty with the Co-Active Training Institute and CRR Global and life partners, to explore how right relationship is more than just a destination… it's a living, evolving practice.Cynthia also shares powerful insights from her book, Meet Your Inside Team, and explains how doing your internal work prevents you from projecting your fears and stories onto the people you love.This episode is full of laughter, lived wisdom, humility, and the kind of insight that only comes from decades of choosing each other again and again.In this episode, we'll explore:Why right relationship doesn't mean harmonyThe importance of learning how to “fight clean”The power of taking your own side without attacking the otherWhat it means to practice not knowing your partnerHow to recover when you miss each otherDesigning co-leadership consciouslyStaying in relationship even through the reality of deathAnd why you're never holding the relationship aloneAbout Team Darst:Cynthia Loy Darst, MCC, and David Darst, MCC, are Team Darst.With more than 50 years of combined coaching experience, Cynthia and David have traveled the world working with teams and training others in the skills that elevate coaching, leadership, and everyday life.Both are senior faculty members with The Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) and with CRR Global (formerly The Center for Right Relationship).Cynthia's book, Meet Your Inside Team, has significantly influenced how they each work with individuals. The concepts they teach through both CTI and CRR are deeply integrated into their client work—as well as into their own partnership.www.linkedin.com/in/cynthia-loy-darst-teamdarst/www.linkedin.com/in/david-darst-45149a309

In this episode, I'm sharing the real reason I traveled to Tanzania and trekked to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro - the roof of Africa.This wasn't a fitness goal. It wasn't a bucket-list flex. It was a spiritual pilgrimage rooted in a story that began decades ago, back when my identity was water polo and I wore “U.S. youth team” and “junior national team” like a second skin. There was another athlete from Oregon on those teams - Jeff. We trained together, competed internationally together, and even became rivals during high school season. That kind of brotherhood doesn't disappear.After college, Jeff chose to travel. He was offered the chance to summit Kilimanjaro. On the way to the gates, the bus taking the group went over a cliff and everyone died. Jeff never even reached the mountain. When I heard the news, something locked in: one day, I would climb that mountain.Life moved forward. Military. Fitness. Building businesses. Years went by. And then, twenty-five years later, while volunteering in hospice with terminally ill patients, one woman - lucid in her final days - looked at me and said, “Jeff came to see me.” Then she delivered the message that hit like lightning: “It's time for you to summit the mountain.” When she said “Kilimanjaro,” I knew the time had arrived.So once Tribe Class 003 completed in December 2025, I began planning. In late January I flew to Tanzania, adjusted to the jet lag, and started the trek. And before I tell you anything else, I want to honor the people who made it possible: for 12 clients, it took 42 porters, guides, chefs, and staff carrying tents, food, tables, chairs, toilets - building camp, breaking camp, and running past us every single day to set everything up again. Respect. Gratitude. Always.Twelve of us began. Three of us reached the summit. One man had to be airlifted out. Another suffered such severe altitude sickness he forgot who he was for 36 hours.The mountain was both hard and easy.Hard because of environment: exposure to sun, temperature regulation, dehydration risk, dust and shale that make each step slide backward. Easy because of mind: I didn't train for this trek. I bought my boots days before leaving. No altitude acclimation. No prep hikes. What I did have was commitment. Single-mindedness. There was no story in my mind where I didn't summit.While others distracted themselves with constant talking and data - filling space to escape discomfort - I returned to one thing: attention. I repeated a mantra thousands of times.That mantra became my mind's projection: love, compassion, selflessness - instead of pain, suffering, and resistance.And this is the lesson I'm offering you:Your life is like a dream. The mind projects the images, but consciousness guides the dream through attention. Put your attention on fear, and you live a nightmare. Put your attention on presence, and you live in peace.Commitment is not attachment to an outcome.Commitment is devotion to the moment that leads to the outcome.Every outcome is a succession of moments.Every summit is a succession of steps.So take one step at a time - fully - without distraction.There is only the Self.

Chemistry can start a relationship — but it can't sustain one. In this episode of How to Win, we talk about why commitment matters more than chemistry and why “easy love” often falls apart when real life begins.

If you're single, dating, married, or feeling confused about love, this episode offers clarity on what healthy, lasting love really requires.  

Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET are back to chat about commitment overwhelm. Families often say things like “We're too busy right now” or “Let's wait until next semester.” But sometimes those words aren't about scheduling — they're about commitment overwhelm and that heavy feeling that starting something new, even something helpful, might just be too much to handle. In this episode, Rachel and Steph unpack what commitment overwhelm really is, why it shows up for both learners and families, and how to meet it with empathy and structure instead of pressure.   Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/learnsmarterpodcast   How to connect with us: Join our e-mail list Rachel's Kapp Educational Therapy Group website Steph's My Ed Therapist website  @learnsmarterpodcast, @kappedtherapy, @myedtherapist Other episodes mentioned: Ep 07: Educational Therapy vs Tutoring

“Send Coach John a message”I found a fantastic reminder for all of us and it helps us to also be our best to help others too. This one came from Greg Berge (@GregBerge) who shared this quote:  "My parents gave me two excellent examples of... You can do anything you want to do." - Pat Summitt.  Greg shares his connection:  “It's about work ethic. It's about commitment. It's about choosing a winning mindset every day. Don't put a ceiling on your own potential.”  Not only did his thoughts catch my eye, but I loved the quick clip from the one and only, Coach Pat Summit. Find the clip HERE. My thoughts with my repost were these:  “Powerful message for all of us… we do indeed need more examples to learn from, be inspired by and to help all of us to simply keep getting better & doing better! Thanks @GregBerge for sharing this one!!” In today's world messages like this are for us to grab onto, lean on, but also to take with us into our own lives. Coach is right - we do need to have courage to get uncomfortable along with putting work into our life! That's why when you find things to do in life that you are passionate about and have a fire for - there is hope for succeeding.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. ** 

What happens when a new doctor buys a practice… but the team expects the same automatic raises they've received for the last 20 years? Excitement meets resistance. Vision meets comfort. And compensation conversations get awkward fast. In this episode of Dental Drill Bits, Dana and Sandy unpack the tension between loyalty and leadership — and why raises must be tied to increased value, not just time served. This conversation isn't about dismissing long-term employees. Stability matters. Commitment matters. Institutional knowledge matters. But alignment matters more. You'll learn how to: • Reset compensation expectations during a practice transition • Communicate clearly about raises before review season hits • Understand the difference between a raise and a bonus • Use staff overhead percentages to create a sustainable quarterly bonus model • Identify whether you're rewarding trajectory or tenure • Lead growth without funding stagnation Sandy walks through a practical bonus structure based on collections — not production — using a benchmark staff overhead percentage (typically 25–27%). When overhead comes in under target, the margin becomes a shared team reward. Transparent. Measurable. Sustainable. You'll also hear a powerful reminder: Raises are not a reward for time served. They are a reward for increased value. If you don't define value, your team will define it for you. Clarity protects your culture. Clarity protects your profitability. Clarity protects your relationships.   Special thanks to our sponsors:

This week, Christina and Brittany are having one of those honest, unfiltered conversations. The kind where you talk about what's actually happening in your body… how aging really feels… and why health can't sit at the bottom of the priority list anymore.
