This week we're discussing Even If: Trusting God Through the Fire Life as a solo parent rarely feels clean or compartmentalized. You can be deeply grateful for your kids and still feel overwhelmed. You can trust God and still feel disappointed. You can be functioning on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside. In this episode, Robert Beeson, Founder & CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent, sit down with Bart Millard, lead singer of MercyMe and songwriter behind the multi-platinum hit "I Can Only Imagine," along with Shannon Millard, co-author of Even If: Trusting God Through the Fire. Together, they talk about chronic hardship, depression, loss, and what it looks like to keep showing up when healing does not happen the way you hoped. Many solo parents wrestle with silent comparisons, believing they should not complain because someone else has it worse. Others feel emotionally absent but do not know how they got there. Some carry disappointment with God but feel afraid to say it out loud. These struggles matter because unspoken grief turns into isolation, and isolation quietly drains your strength, your presence, and your hope. In This Episode, We Focus On: Gratitude and grief can coexist - You do not have to choose between being thankful and being honest about what hurts. Gratitude does not cancel grief. Both can live in the same space, and naming that tension is part of healing. Healing begins when you say it out loud - Isolation keeps pain powerful. Whether through counseling, community, or one trusted friend, speaking your struggle breaks shame and reminds you that you are not alone. Presence matters more than perfection - Your children do not need flawless. They need your willingness to return, repair, and keep showing up. Consistent presence builds safety and trust over time. Holding grief and gratitude together is not about pretending everything is fine. It is about staying engaged in your life and your parenting even when it feels messy. You are not weak for struggling, and you do not have to walk this road alone.

Device Dysregulation™ can leave children overstimulated, anxious, and struggling to calm their brains after screen use. In this episode, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, explains how screens impact emotional regulation and shares strategies to help kids reset and thrive.Parenting with constant screens can feel overwhelming. You're not alone. Post-pandemic, many kids became overstimulated from online learning and social media, leaving parents unsure how to help.Device dysregulation isn't just screen time—it's a brain stuck in high alert, craving dopamine, and losing tolerance for calm.In this episode, you'll learn why kids get stuck in device dysregulation, how to prevent emotional dysregulation, and concrete strategies for transitions, boundaries, and sensory resets that make real change possible.Why does my child meltdown when I ask them to put the device down?Meltdowns aren't defiance—they're the nervous system signaling overwhelm. Rapid-fire entertainment, dopamine spikes, and addictive social media can keep the brain in a constant high alert, often leading to emotion regulation difficultiesand maladaptive emotion regulation strategies.These challenges affect children's emotional responses, increase negative emotions, and in some cases can mimic symptoms seen in mental disorders or contribute to problematic internet use.Tips for parents:Co-regulate first: Model calm so your child can borrow your regulation and practice healthier emotion regulation strategies.Avoid personalization: Their reactions aren't about you—they're dysregulated.Predictable boundaries: Set device limits before the screen is on to reduce conflict and support consistent, regulated emotional responses.Real-Life Example: Eli, a 12-year-old, became irritable and anxious post-pandemic. Consistent screen limits and calm parental cues helped him power down without daily battles.How can I help my child regulate after excessive screen time?Transitions from screens are tricky because the brain is overstimulated. Without grounding, kids and young adults can struggle with emotional awareness, executive functioning, and attention, increasing the risk of temper tantrums, negative emotional states, and experiencing negative emotions.Practical strategies:Sensory transitions: Jumping jacks, cold water, a sensory snack, or barefoot walks reset the nervous system.Model coping: Show how you unplug and shift focus calmly.Gradual transitions: Use timers and warnings for device cutoff to reduce experiencing negative emotions and prevent meltdowns.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at

Your podcast doesn't need to be massive to make money — but it does need a strategy. Monetization isn't one-size-fits-all, and most independent podcasters are building income in smarter, more diversified ways than people realize. Podcast Monetization Myths 1. Myth: You Need Huge Downloads to Make Money A common misconception is that monetization only starts when you hit tens of thousands of downloads per episode. In reality, smaller, niche podcasts often monetize more effectively because they serve a highly specific audience. Advertisers, sponsors, and even your own products perform better when your listeners are clearly defined and highly engaged. A focused audience of 500 loyal listeners can be more valuable than 5,000 passive ones. What actually works: Niche positioning Audience trust Clear listener intent 2. Myth: Sponsorships Are the Only Way to Monetize When most people think “podcast monetization,” they think ads. But independent podcasters are generating revenue through multiple streams: Listener support (memberships, donations, premium content) Affiliate marketing Selling their own services (coaching, consulting, speaking) Courses or digital products Events and community access For many shows, sponsorships are just one piece of the puzzle — not the foundation. What actually works: Diversifying income instead of relying on a single source. 3. Myth: Monetization Should Happen Immediately There's pressure to “make money fast,” especially for new podcasters. But monetization works best when it's built on trust. If your audience doesn't yet understand who you are and why you matter, revenue efforts will feel forced. The most sustainable monetization happens after: Consistent publishing Clear messaging Audience feedback and engagement What actually works: Building value first. Monetizing second. 4. Myth: More Ads = More Revenue Overloading episodes with ads can damage listener trust — especially for independent creators. Listeners stick around because they trust you. If monetization disrupts the listening experience, it can hurt long-term growth. What actually works: Relevant sponsorships Honest endorsements Clear alignment with your audience Quality beats quantity. 5. The Real Monetization Formula for Independent Podcasters Successful independent podcasters usually follow this pattern: Define a clear audience Build consistent, valuable content Identify what that audience already spends money on Align monetization with that need Monetization works best when it feels like a natural extension of your show — not an interruption. Your podcast isn't just content. It's a relationship. And relationships are what create revenue opportunities.

In this episode of The IT Experts Podcast, we explore why owner dependency quietly destroys MSP valuations and what you must do now to build real, transferable value in your business. If you have ever assumed your MSP will sell when the time comes, this conversation may shift your thinking. Stuart and I unpack a hard truth. A business that cannot run and grow without you will always carry risk in the eyes of a buyer. And risk directly impacts MSP valuations. We were prompted to record this episode after a sobering conversation with an MSP owner who had attempted to sell multiple times over several years. Each time, buyers began the process. Each time, due diligence exposed weaknesses. Each time, the deal collapsed. Not because the business was small. Not because there was no demand. The issue was clarity, structure, and owner dependency. The business worked for him. It did not work without him. That distinction is critical. When buyers assess MSP valuations, they are not buying your effort. They are buying sustainable profit. They are buying systems. They are buying a team. They are buying recurring revenue. They are buying predictability. If you are central to sales, delivery, relationships and decision making, the buyer sees fragility. And fragility reduces multiples. We often explain valuation through simple maths. Imagine a one million pound MSP generating two hundred and fifty thousand pounds of EBITDA. At a modest multiple, you may walk away with half a million pounds. After decades of work, that can feel underwhelming. The opportunity lies in understanding that MSP valuations are influenced by clear, controllable drivers. Recurring revenue mix is one of them. Many MSPs above two million pounds in turnover still rely heavily on project income. That may feel exciting and profitable. It also introduces volatility. Increasing recurring revenue from fifty percent to seventy five percent can materially improve how buyers view your stability and future cash flow. Contract length is another lever. Monthly rolling agreements are easy to sell. They also weaken your negotiating position when it comes to MSP valuations. As your confidence grows, building longer term agreements with clients strengthens predictability and reduces perceived risk. Service gross margin is often overlooked. Buyers want to see not only recurring revenue, but recurring margin. They want to understand the efficiency of your service desk and the return generated per technician. Strong revenue per full time employee signals operational maturity. Clean numbers, transparent reporting, and clear profitability remove doubt during due diligence. Then there is client concentration. Over-reliance on one or two major clients creates vulnerability. Strengthening account management, spreading revenue more evenly, and improving client retention all contribute positively to MSP valuations. Yet none of these matter fully if the owner remains the bottleneck. We refer to this as ONN, owner not needed. This does not mean you disappear tomorrow. It means your business can run and grow without your daily involvement. Holidays without disruption are a starting point. True value is created when growth continues even while you step back from delivery. Building towards ONN requires leadership development, documented processes, empowered managers, and consistent rhythm in reporting and accountability. It is straightforward in principle. It is demanding in practice. Letting go, hiring stronger people, and shifting your leadership style takes intention. The encouraging news is that this transformation does not require magic tools or dramatic reinvention. It is disciplined business practice. Clear KPIs. Departmental plans. Regular reviews. Consistent focus on sales, account management, people engagement and margin control. When stitched together, these habits compound. Improving MSP valuations is rarely about chasing a headline multiple. It is about reducing risk and increasing clarity. Buyers walk away when profit is opaque, when dependency is high, and when systems are weak. They lean in when performance is transparent and transferable. For established MSPs already above one million pounds in revenue, a focused three-year commitment to strengthening structure can materially change exit outcomes. For others, it may take longer. The timeline is less important than the decision to begin. Planning for exit today gives you options tomorrow, even if you choose to continue building. There is also a powerful side effect. Businesses that reach a strong ONN position often discover they enjoy the work more. Time increases. Profits rise. Acquisition opportunities become viable. MSP valuations improve not only because you are preparing to sell, but because you are building a stronger company. At some point, every owner will exit. The question is whether you leave with confidence and control, or whether you accept whatever is offered because options have narrowed. Owner dependency is fixable. Transferable value is buildable. MSP valuations are influenced by the decisions you make now. If this episode resonated, start by reviewing your recurring revenue mix, contract structure, service gross margin and leadership depth. Build a plan. Work the plan. Stay consistent. Strong MSP valuations are not accidental. They are earned through structure, discipline and the courage to let go.

Barnes and Ashley recount the highs, and lows of the Davis tenure in light of UNC's loss to Miami on Tuesday night after the monumental win over Duke last Saturday. Barnes addresses the approach Davis takes in postgame press conferences from the angle of a reporter that's covered numerous coaches and players over the past two decades. The IC duo also hit on Carolina's metrics following the past two games and the work that remains for the 2026 Tar Heels to move up on the postseason seed lines in the ACC and NCAA Tournaments.

I rebuilt my habits around what I actually enjoy, what fits my schedule, and what I can see myself doing for the rest of my life. No strict dieting. No food guilt. No all or nothing thinking.I walk you through how I gradually lost weight by cooking more at home, tracking meals with photos, learning my natural meal timing, rotating simple foods I like, and building a flexible workout routine that works with my body, not against it. Even with injuries and curveballs, I focused on small adjustments instead of starting over.This is not a transformation story. It is a sustainability story. It is about learning yourself, honoring your preferences, and building a lifestyle you do not need a break from.If you have spent years dieting, restarting, or feeling like you already know what to do but cannot stick with it, this episode will show you a calmer and more realistic path forward.

https://jo.my/yduneyGlove Selection And UseWhy glove selection matters for hand safetyToday's focus is on selecting and using hand safety gloves. Cuts, pinches, and caught-in hazards show up fast in a busy facility. A torn carton edge. A sharp banding strap. A pallet shift that grabs your finger. It only takes one slip.Gloves help, but only when you choose the right pair and wear them correctly. The wrong glove can be a problem in its own right. Too loose and it snags. Too thin and it fails. Too bulky, and you lose grip. That's when hands get hurt.Common glove mistakes that lead to injuriesI've seen people grab the “closest pair” and call it good. That's how you end up using light-duty gloves on a sharp task. Or wearing coated gloves while handling chemicals. Or keeping the same pair for weeks because “they still look fine.” Meanwhile, the fingertips are worn down, and the liner is ripped. You can't see every weakness until it's too late.Glove selection and use you can trustHere are a few tips to assist you with glove selection and use for hand safety: Match the glove to the hazard. Cut-resistant gloves for blades and sharp edges. Chemical-resistant gloves for liquids. Heat gloves for hot parts. If you're unsure, ask. Guessing doesn't protect you. Check gloves before every use. Look for holes, tears, thinning spots, and split seams. Flip them over. Check the fingertips. A glove with damage is a glove that won't do its job. Replace gloves when they're compromised. Don't “stretch” glove life. If the grip coating is worn, the liner is frayed, or the glove has been soaked in a chemical, replace it. No debate. Take the gloves off safely. Peel them off so the dirty outside doesn't come into contact with your skin. Keep used gloves out of break areas and off work surfaces. Contamination travels. Know when not to wear gloves. Some rotating tools and moving equipment can grab a glove and pull your hand in. That's a caught-in hazard. Follow your facility rules for tasks where bare hands and guards are the safer choice. “As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.”Build better habits around gloves and hand safetyHand safety glove selection isn't a one-time choice. It's a routine. Grab the right glove. Check it. Use it. Replace it. Simple. Consistent.And stay alert to the task change. If you switch from box handling to chemical wipe-down, your gloves should change too. Your hands tell the story of your work. Let's keep that story injury-free.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE!#Safety #SafetyCulture #StaySafe #SafetyFirst #HandSafety #GloveSelection #CutProtection #PinchPointSafety #PPE #MaterialHandlingSafety #FacilitySafety

I'm your host, River Lee — founder of The Savvy Groomer — and today's episode is perfectly timed for February. Because it's the month of love… and I want to talk about who you're actually in a relationship with in your business. Not your partner. Not your dog. Your clients. Because here's the thing no one tells groomers early enough: You can be booked solid. You can be making money. You can look “successful” from the outside. …and still quietly dread your day-to-day life. And most of the time, that doesn't come from grooming itself. It comes from the relationships you've built your business on. So today, we're talking about: Fling clients Ideal clients And soulmate clients And how falling in love with your clients doesn't mean being softer, nicer, or more accommodating. It means building a business that actually loves you back. Let's talk about fling clients. And before anyone feels called out, I want to be very clear: Most groomers did not choose fling clients on purpose. We were taught to accept them. Early in our careers, the message was: Say yes. Take what you can get. Be grateful for every client. And in the beginning, that makes sense. You're building. You're learning. You're trying to survive. But somewhere along the way, temporary clients became the foundation of permanent businesses. And that's where things start to hurt. Fling clients are the clients who: Book once and disappear Only show up when they're desperate Don't read your policies Don't remember your boundaries And don't feel invested in you They're not bad people. They're just not committed. Here are a few grooming-specific examples — and I want you to notice how your body reacts as I say them. The once-a-year doodle. They promise they'll be on a schedule… but you don't hear from them again until the dog is matted and they're panicking. The “can you squeeze me in?” client. Not because of an emergency — but because they waited too long and now it's suddenly your problem. The client who disappears the moment you enforce a boundary. You correct pickup time. You enforce a matting policy. You raise prices. And suddenly? Gone. These are fling clients. And here's the part most groomers don't realize until they're exhausted: Fling clients are expensive. Financially, they: Create gaps in your schedule Require re-education every visit Take more time than they're priced for Emotionally, they: Keep you on edge Create resentment Require constant mental energy Operationally, they: Create chaos Make staffing harder Make income unpredictable And the sneakiest part? You start reshaping your business around them. You loosen policies. You over-explain. You hesitate to raise prices. You make exceptions “just this once.” That's not love. That's survival mode. Fling clients are not the problem — expecting commitment from them is. Now let's talk about ideal clients. These are the clients most groomers think they want. They show up. They pay. They're polite. They mostly follow the rules. They're… fine. Ideal clients feel safe. They don't cause drama. They don't stress you out the way fling clients do. But here's the truth that doesn't get said enough: Ideal clients often represent a comfort ceiling. They keep your business running — but not necessarily growing. You still remind them. You still explain policies. You still manage expectations. Let's compare this for a moment. An ideal client: Asks questions about price Occasionally forgets policies Needs reminders Refers people similar to them A soulmate client: Accepts pricing without debate Respects systems Follows policies automatically Refers people who already trust you Ideal clients keep you busy. Soulmate clients make things easier. This is why so many grooming businesses plateau. They're not failing. They're not doing anything wrong. They've just built a business around “good enough.” And if you've ever thought: “I should be happier than I am with this…” That's usually why. Let's clear something up right now. Soulmate clients do not magically find you because you're nice, talented, or have good vibes. That idea keeps groomers waiting instead of building. Soulmate clients are created through systems. Clear messaging. Strong onboarding. Consistent policies. And follow-through. Soulmate clients don't require convincing. They trust your expertise. They understand how your business works. Every boundary you hold does two things: It repels a fling client… and signals safety to a soulmate client. People who value professionalism are attracted to structure. People who want exceptions are repelled by it. That's not a flaw. That's a filter. Soulmate clients: Respect your time Trust your recommendations Follow your systems Refer people just like them And here's the part I really want you to hear: You don't need more clients. You need better-aligned ones. When groomers shift toward soulmate clients, we see: Smaller schedules Higher income Better retention Less burnout More predictability Business stops feeling chaotic and starts feeling calm. And that's not luck. That's alignment. If you're listening and thinking, “Why does this feel so hard for me?” Here's the truth: No one taught us this. Most groomers were trained in: Safety. Technique. Breed patterns. Not client alignment. Not onboarding. Not de-alignment. So when things feel messy, we internalize it. We think: “I'm bad with people.” “I hate clients.” “This is just how grooming is.” No. You're not bad at clients. You're under-supported. Client alignment is a business skill, not a personality trait. And skills can be learned. Practiced. Refined. When you stop blaming yourself and start building systems, everything changes. If this episode hit close to home, that discomfort isn't failure. It's awareness. Most groomers didn't intentionally build businesses that drain them. It happened slowly. Quietly. One “yes” at a time. And once you see the difference between fling clients, ideal clients, and soulmate clients — you can't unsee it. Falling in love with your clients doesn't mean overgiving. It means alignment. Clarity. Respect. And that doesn't happen by accident. That's why I created the Business Workshop Library. Inside, you'll find on-demand workshops like: Identifying & Attracting Your Soulmate Clients Onboarding Clients & Dealing With Difficult Clients Once-A-Year Clients and whether they belong in your business at all ✨ It's $200 for the year ✨ Or $50 a month You can watch at your own pace, revisit when needed, and apply what you learn to your real business. And if you're looking for ongoing support instead of one-off fixes, that's exactly what the Savvy Groomer Circle is for. Inside the Circle, you get continued education, monthly Q&As, real-time conversations, and support as you actively implement boundaries, policies, and systems in your business — not just think about them. And for those of you who want deeper access and closer support, the Inner Circle gives you just that — including direct access to me so you're never figuring this out alone. You can learn more and join at savvygroomer.com/membership If you're ready to stop building your business around flings and start intentionally creating alignment, you'll find the Business Workshop Library at savvygroomer.com/gwg As always — stay savvy, stay greedy, and never apologize for wanting more.

You can be the same person across every channel. Your social media accounts. Your YouTube. Your newsletter. Your blog. The same principles. The same voice. Often even the same message. And many of the people following you on LinkedIn are the same people who see you on Instagram, hear you on a podcast, or read your newsletter. Yet those same people can understand you, trust you, and remember you very differently simply because they encounter you in a different place.Not because you changed.Because they did.They arrive with different expectations.Different attention.Different patience.The channel shapes what they notice, what they believe, and what stays with them, even when the words don't change at all.

Send a textWhat keeps a podcast alive when the honeymoon fades? We invited coach and multi-show host Roy Coughlan to pull back the curtain on what actually drives growth, why impact beats downloads, and how to stay consistent when the comment section goes sideways. Roy shares the arc from losing everything to building several top-ranked shows, revealing the mindset shifts and systems that turned fear into a repeatable practice. You'll hear how he split his ideas into distinct podcasts, protected audience trust, and focused on interviews as the core engine rather than flashy promotion.We dig into the surge of podcast coaches and how to separate real operators from playbook sellers. Roy lays out a pragmatic approach to coaching: adapt to the creator, build a format that fits their energy, and pick platform strategies that suit the audience. He explains why hosts should personally engage in comments, how to filter abusive noise while embracing constructive critique, and why a single listener note can spark meaningful improvements. We also talk metrics that matter—counting video plays where full episodes live, tracking what guests actually share, and treating twenty loyal listeners like a weekly stage.Consistency becomes the quiet superpower. Roy shows how to take breaks without losing momentum, repurpose your archive with intention, and run lean with simple tools that elevate rough audio. We look ahead at where podcasting is heading as audiences seek trusted voices and open conversation over polished spin. If you've ever wondered whether a small show can make a big dent, this conversation will recalibrate your compass and your calendar.If this helped you rethink your show, follow and share it with a friend.

True leaders in sports don't need the spotlight. They earn trust through preparation, emotional control and how they show up every day—not by being the loudest voice, said Dan Gold, a sports dad, former surgeon and businessman and the author of Game Changers. The foundation of quiet leadership is emotional regulation. When pressure rises, strong leaders stay steady rather than escalating emotionally, he said.

If your pipeline swings between feast and famine, it's rarely because you're "bad at marketing" — it's because you don't have a demand rhythm. In this episode, Anna breaks down a simple weekly block that creates consistent demand without living on the content hamster wheel. Key takeaways A demand rhythm is a protected weekly block that keeps your pipeline warm — even when you have limited hours. Momentum moves (follow-ups, invites, proposals) are often the missing link between visibility and paid work. Authority amplifiers help you build trust faster than "more posting", especially in a noisy market. Visibility matters, but it's not the goal — the goal is conversations with the right decision makers.

If you've ever felt like you're drowning in systems, strategies, and 47-step funnels while the actual work you love takes a backseat, this one's for you...The online business world has sold us a version of entrepreneurship that's unnecessarily complicated. The complex funnels, intricate launch sequences, social media strategies that require a degree in digital marketing, business models you can't explain without a flow chart. None of this is an accident. The complexity isn't a bug in the system. It's an entire business model. Someone sells you a complicated system, it doesn't work (or it kind of works but feels exhausting), so you think you're doing it wrong. You must need the advanced training, the next level, the missing piece. And they've got you for another course, another certification, another mastermind. Building a coaching business comes down to one sentence: Be visible where your people are, talk about what you do in a way that makes sense, have conversations with potential clients, make offers, deliver excellent work, and ask for testimonials and referrals.That's it. Everything else is optimization for a business that's already working. The Essentials Clarity on who you serve and the transformation you create A simple way to reach those people (ideally your own platform) Consistent visibility and content that adds value Actual conversations with potential clients (we're in a trust desert thanks to AI) A clear offer that solves a real problem, priced appropriately for the value you create Brilliant delivery so you can ask for referrals and testimonials Everything outside of these six things is optional.This connects to identity work. Complexity sells because most people are operating from an identity that doesn't trust the simple path. If you fundamentally don't believe you're the kind of person who can build a successful business through straightforward means, through your actual talent, real relationships, and genuine value, then complexity feels necessary. It becomes armour, proof that you're a serious business person. But the minute you step into the identity of someone who creates value, builds relationships, and makes offers from genuine authority, that complexity starts feeling like a chain around your neck.Everyone who's built a successful coaching business did it through relationships first and systems later. Not the other way around. Your Rewilding Move This Week: Look at your business. All of it. The tools, systems, strategies, platforms, frameworks, social media channels. Ask yourself: what here is actually serving me versus what am I serving?If you're spending more time managing your business infrastructure than actually building relationships, having conversations, making offers, and creating value, you've probably been sold complexity and now you're hiding behind it. The antidote isn't another solution. It's subtraction. Ready to Strip Back the Complexity?If you're ready to build your business from a place of genuine authority and do the identity work around becoming the coach who trusts that it can be this simple, apply for a Next Best Move call with me. It's an hour of one-to-one time where we'll figure out what you actually need and what the simple version of your business could look like.Apply Now: https://www.gillmoakes.com/next-best-move

In this episode of the OMD TV & Podcast Show, Huyen explores why patients often choose a competitor over your practice—even when your services are comparable. You'll discover practical ways to stop blending into the crowd and start becoming the obvious choice by defining your unique value and enhancing the patient experience. What You'll Learn The Danger of Commoditisation: How identical websites and messaging make practices indistinguishable—and why patients default to price or convenience when they can't see a difference. The Power of Patient Feedback: Why surveying current, past and even lost patients uncovers the real reasons people choose (or don't choose) you. Riches in the Niches: How defining a specific target market allows you to tailor amenities, scheduling and communication to meet their exact needs. Positioning the Physician: A simple one‑page graphic that highlights your credentials, experience and expertise to build instant trust with prospective patients. Differentiating Through Experience: Specific examples of unique amenities, loyalty programs, personal touches and cutting‑edge technology that set you apart from your competitors. Learning from the Best: The value of modelling successful clinics' strategies instead of reinventing the wheel. Action Steps: How to bring all these elements together and why ongoing differentiation keeps patients loyal and referring their friends. Key Takeaways If you don't define what makes your practice special, patients will assume you're just like everyone else. Small touches—like friendly staff, shorter wait times or flexible financing—can be major differentiators. Specialising in a niche and clearly displaying your credentials instils confidence and reduces price shopping. Consistent efforts to refine your service and communicate your strengths are what keep patients coming back. Resources & Next Steps Ready to define your practice's unique value?

Sleep acts as a nightly repair cycle for your eyes, helping regulate eye pressure, tear balance, immune defense, and retinal cleanup that protect vision over time Irregular or fragmented sleep disrupts your eyes' internal timing, allowing inflammation, dryness, and visual strain to build even if you eat well and stay active Circadian rhythm controls when eye tissues repair and defend themselves, and disrupted sleep timing weakens this protection long before obvious eye disease appears Sleep apnea places extra stress on your eyes by reducing oxygen delivery and disturbing sleep, increasing the risk of optic nerve damage, retinal changes, and surface eye problems that often go unnoticed early Consistent sleep timing, controlled light exposure at night, deep uninterrupted sleep, morning light, and habits that keep your airway open work together to restore your eyes' natural resilience and long-term health
Here's what's coming through loud and clear right now: Old conversations are waking up Deals from 1–3 years ago? They're moving again. Salespeople are picking up the phone, calling old lists, and hearing: "I'm so glad you called. I was just thinking about you." Action plan: Dust off your inactive list. End of December or first week of January is prime time to make calls and meet people. Holiday check-in or strategy conversation for the new year. Attention spans are shrinking Follow-up needs to tighten. Quarterly or every-few-months cadence isn't cutting it anymore. I'm suggesting: Every 2 weeks Always bring value Pick up the phone (email + text alone isn't enough) The phone still works. Use it. Small, consistent actions are converting More meetings More face-to-face More conferences More networking Momentum is coming from showing up, not sitting back. Tools I'm using right now: -Brain.fm – daily focus + meditation 2 Favorite Books: -The AI-Driven Leader – smarter thinking and prompting with AI -The Power of Now – staying present in a distracted world Closing Thoughts: Everyone is distracted. More than ever. As you wrap up 2025 and step into 2026: -Have an annual plan -Reverse engineer it by quarter, month, week -But most importantly…HAVE A DAILY BUSINESS PLAN! At the end of each day: -Clean it up -Prep tomorrow -Define your one-day business plan -Identify your top 3 leading activities (in order) that actually move your buisness forward. Consistent action wins the game!

There's a point in many recovery journeys where insight stops being the problem. You know what to do. You understand your patterns. And yet… change still feels hard. In this episode, I talk with Paula Robbins, author of Hitchhiking Into Recovery, who has over 37 years of sobriety, about why that happens—and what actually sustains healing over the long haul. The Ride That Opened the Door Paula's recovery didn't begin with a dramatic intervention. It began when she was picked up hitchhiking in 1988 by someone living a sober, connected life. That single interaction mattered because it interrupted isolation. Not with willpower. With connection. Addiction Is a Disconnection Problem Paula grew up with trauma, neglect, and instability. Alcohol became a way to shut down overwhelming emotions long before she had language for what was happening. By age 12, she was drinking to blackout. What stands out isn't just the trauma—it's what was missing: Safety Emotional guidance Consistent connection Addiction wasn't a moral failure. It was a survival strategy. Feelings Aren't Facts One of Paula's most grounding principles is simple: Feelings and facts are not the same. Recovery didn't eliminate difficult emotions—it created space to respond instead of react. That pause is where real change happens. The Four Pillars That Sustain Recovery After decades of sobriety, Paula distilled what actually works into four stabilizing forces: Community – healing happens in relationship Mentorship – someone to help you see clearly Service – contribution rebuilds self-esteem Daily spiritual alignment – prayer, meditation, or quiet time These pillars show up in every effective recovery model because they address the root issue: disconnection. Divine Alignment vs. Self-Will Paula explains divine alignment not as certainty, but as a felt sense. When she's controlling outcomes, she feels restless and tight. When she surrenders—even briefly—things soften. Sometimes all it takes is the simple phrase: "Thy will be done." A Gentle Reminder If change feels hard, it doesn't mean you're failing. It may simply mean effort isn't the missing piece—connection is. One Small Action Try just one: Strengthen one pillar that feels weak Take a 5-minute daily pause Offer one small act of service Notice a feeling without acting on it Healing doesn't require fixing yourself. It starts with not doing it alone. Resources Mentioned Hitchhiking Into Recovery 12-Step Recovery Programs Step 3 Prayer Step 11: Prayer and Meditation Service work in recovery Guest Contact Info:

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. Summary of the Interview: Dr. Willie Jolley on Money Making Conversations Masterclass Dr. Willie Jolley—Hall of Fame speaker, bestselling author, and longtime SiriusXM host—joins Rushion McDonald to discuss his new book Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better. The conversation focuses on redefining wealth, transforming money mindsets, developing discipline, and overcoming setbacks to build generational prosperity. Throughout the interview, Dr. Jolley shares insights gathered over 20 years of interviewing billionaires, CEOs, and major wealth creators. He outlines the crucial difference between being rich (high income) and being wealthy (owning assets that work without you). He emphasizes the role of discipline, humility, learning, and generational thinking in achieving sustainable wealth. The interview closes with Jolley’s personal comeback story—from nightclub singer to world‑renowned speaker—and his message that it’s never too late to change your financial future. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Promote and explain Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better,” which clarifies the difference between income-based wealth (rich) and asset‑based, multi‑generational wealth (wealthy). 2. Teach listeners how to shift their money mindset Jolley walks through the five levels of money thinking, showing how most Americans operate in the lower levels due to habit or lack of knowledge. 3. Encourage financial independence and discipline Listeners—especially entrepreneurs and families—learn the role of discipline, insurance, multiple income streams, and investment. 4. Provide motivation through Jolley’s story His setback-to-comeback story proves that financial and personal reinvention is possible at any age. 5. Address generational wealth and financial stewardship The book is also written for parents/grandparents worried their heirs may squander what they built. Key Takeaways 1. The crucial difference between rich and wealthy Rich = working income; stops when you stop. Wealthy = assets + systems; money works even when you don’t. Rich is “good”—but wealth is “better” because it is sustainable. 2. Wealth begins with mindset Jolley identifies five money mindsets: One‑day mindset (daily survival) 30‑day mindset (check-to-check) One‑year mindset Decade mindset (athletes/entertainers) Generational mindset (true wealth builders) His goal: move people one level higher. 3. Discipline is the #1 lever for wealth Wealth requires: Living below your means Consistent investment Protecting what you have Maintaining health, relationships, reputation, and intellectual capital 4. The “Five Types of Wealth” Financial wealth Health wealth Relationship wealth Reputational/brand wealth Intellectual capital wealthAll contribute to long-term prosperity. 5. The 3 Legs of Wealth Income Save & invest the difference Insurance to protect assets (life, health, disability, long‑term care) 6. At least two streams of income are essential Examples: stocks, real estate, crypto, collectibles, content creation. 7. Pride destroys wealth People overspend to look successful rather than be successful.Pride → debt → stress → financial ruin.Humility → learning → planning → wealth. 8. It’s never too late to become wealthy He shares stories of: A domestic worker who died with $2.7M A secretary who accumulated $8M A former drug dealer who reached nearly $900K starting at age 65All achieved wealth by small investments over long periods. 9. A setback is a setup for a comeback Jolley’s message is deeply motivational: Losing his singing job led him into speaking Speaking led to radio Radio led to books Books led to global influenceHe frames adversity as opportunity.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. Summary of the Interview: Dr. Willie Jolley on Money Making Conversations Masterclass Dr. Willie Jolley—Hall of Fame speaker, bestselling author, and longtime SiriusXM host—joins Rushion McDonald to discuss his new book Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better. The conversation focuses on redefining wealth, transforming money mindsets, developing discipline, and overcoming setbacks to build generational prosperity. Throughout the interview, Dr. Jolley shares insights gathered over 20 years of interviewing billionaires, CEOs, and major wealth creators. He outlines the crucial difference between being rich (high income) and being wealthy (owning assets that work without you). He emphasizes the role of discipline, humility, learning, and generational thinking in achieving sustainable wealth. The interview closes with Jolley’s personal comeback story—from nightclub singer to world‑renowned speaker—and his message that it’s never too late to change your financial future. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Promote and explain Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better,” which clarifies the difference between income-based wealth (rich) and asset‑based, multi‑generational wealth (wealthy). 2. Teach listeners how to shift their money mindset Jolley walks through the five levels of money thinking, showing how most Americans operate in the lower levels due to habit or lack of knowledge. 3. Encourage financial independence and discipline Listeners—especially entrepreneurs and families—learn the role of discipline, insurance, multiple income streams, and investment. 4. Provide motivation through Jolley’s story His setback-to-comeback story proves that financial and personal reinvention is possible at any age. 5. Address generational wealth and financial stewardship The book is also written for parents/grandparents worried their heirs may squander what they built. Key Takeaways 1. The crucial difference between rich and wealthy Rich = working income; stops when you stop. Wealthy = assets + systems; money works even when you don’t. Rich is “good”—but wealth is “better” because it is sustainable. 2. Wealth begins with mindset Jolley identifies five money mindsets: One‑day mindset (daily survival) 30‑day mindset (check-to-check) One‑year mindset Decade mindset (athletes/entertainers) Generational mindset (true wealth builders) His goal: move people one level higher. 3. Discipline is the #1 lever for wealth Wealth requires: Living below your means Consistent investment Protecting what you have Maintaining health, relationships, reputation, and intellectual capital 4. The “Five Types of Wealth” Financial wealth Health wealth Relationship wealth Reputational/brand wealth Intellectual capital wealthAll contribute to long-term prosperity. 5. The 3 Legs of Wealth Income Save & invest the difference Insurance to protect assets (life, health, disability, long‑term care) 6. At least two streams of income are essential Examples: stocks, real estate, crypto, collectibles, content creation. 7. Pride destroys wealth People overspend to look successful rather than be successful.Pride → debt → stress → financial ruin.Humility → learning → planning → wealth. 8. It’s never too late to become wealthy He shares stories of: A domestic worker who died with $2.7M A secretary who accumulated $8M A former drug dealer who reached nearly $900K starting at age 65All achieved wealth by small investments over long periods. 9. A setback is a setup for a comeback Jolley’s message is deeply motivational: Losing his singing job led him into speaking Speaking led to radio Radio led to books Books led to global influenceHe frames adversity as opportunity.

Spiritual consistency produces faithfulness, victory, and eternal rewards for advancing believers. Rick Hughes teaches why spiritual consistency is essential to the Christian life. Using Galatians 6:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:58, he explains how faithfulness and perseverance protect believers from discouragement and spiritual drift. This episode also identifies the conquering Christian, the overcomer or winner believer, and outlines the eternal rewards promised to those who remain consistent, apply divine viewpoint, and stay occupied with Christ.⬇Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/1067-transcript

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Will: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for giving us the opportunity to ask you questions. I've learned so much from other people's questions! I have two of my own. 1. Regarding your past podcast on the importance of broccoli and garlic. I travel a lot for work. When I travel and can't get broccoli or garlic, would it be ok to take a broccoli and garlic supplement. ? 2. I recently purchased the equililife mushroom supplement. Do you recommend taking it all year round or just in the winter. Thanks so much! Will Carol: Dr Cabral, I would like to start by thanking you for all the information you freely give. I've been listening to your podcast almost since it started and I have been able to make positive changes in my life and my family's. I am a healthy, active 62 year old woman. I walk 5 to 10 miles most days. I do strength training 3 to 5 times a week plus cardio a couple days a week. Through diet and exercise I have been able to maintain my weight most of my adult life. If my weight started to go up I would make adjustments in my diet (which was usually from getting sloppy with my diet). Since 2017 I've done your detox at least 3 times a year (I just haven't been able to swing 4), and they usually help me lose the few pounds I gained and put me back on track with my eating. For the last few years, however, my weight has been creeping up higher and nothing (not even the detoxes) have helped me lose the added weight. I've tried everything I could think of, but my weight continues to go up instead of down. I went through menopause 10 years ago. I'm at a loss at what to do, but I definitely don't want to continue to gain weight. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you, Carol Mohamed: Good morning to you Doctor Cabral and all the listeners. Grateful for all that you do. My question is regarding a sort of pinch like feeling on my left side (near heart). On and off randomly.. did blood work and EKG (normal findings). Ran minerals and Metals.. on the higher side for K & N.. Mg green and Calcium (leaning towards high). Other minerals were low, except phosphorus (slightly high) Noticing bloating after meals.. could leaky gut be related to the occasional pinch feeling I get… it's either that or cortisol.. Which lab should I run (can only do 1).. Taking Omega3 support, DNS, Magnesium and exercising twice a week.. I'm a 27 year old man. Noticing new onset fatigue, bloating.. A bit worried about my heart.. thanks.. What can help, proteolytic enzymes, Apple cider Vinegar before meals. Or B vitamins. Thoughts? Cheryl: Morning, My 73 year old dad has type 2 diabetes. He is otherwise in good health, an active golfer, is about 165lbs and walks daily. My parents are old school and believe everything the dr says. Recently, his dr just uped his metformin to 2x a day from 1x and put him on a pill for his A1C. I am annoyed that the meds are just increased instead of looking at the root cause. They recently saw a dietician who said it is not reversable which I know is not at all true. My mom cooks healthy meals but my dad does have a sweet tooth. When he wants something sweet it is often sugar/free which is terrible and full of chemicals. I do not agree with all of the sugar free stuff/sweetners and try go get them to choose different things-monkfruit/coconut sugar but the dietician recommended the splenda type stuff. would love to help my dad reverse this. Any suggestions where to start would be appreciated. Thank you:) Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for the amazing work that you do! My 80 year old mother has been experiencing consistent burning mouth syndrome for the past 12 years. She had tried all the conventional methods, gabapentin, CT scan etc and nothing has helped. I recently read that the drop in estrogen during menopause could be the cause. What do you think and any recommendations? Thanks again!
