Today, I'm bringing you a special rebroadcast of one of the most powerful conversations ever shared on the podcast. I'm joined by three extraordinary women—Leah Davidson, Lindsay Poelman, and Melanie Fay—for a rich, grounded discussion about what it truly means to take a holistic approach to transformation, both in our own lives and as coaches.Part of becoming a master coach is understanding that mindset work alone is not always enough—and that without the container of holistic coaching, it can even be detrimental to growth. In this conversation, we explore how the nervous system, emotions, and cognitive work intersect, and why a whole-person approach to coaching changes everything. We talk about what happens when insight alone isn't enough, why clients get “stuck” despite knowing what to do, and how safety, regulation, and compassion create access to deeper, more sustainable change.While this episode is very much geared toward coaches, the topics we cover are important for anyone on a personal development journey. If you're focused on your own growth, you'll gain insight into where a more holistic approach may be missing in how you're supporting yourself—and what might open up when that gap is addressed.This conversation offers a real glimpse into the holistic, ethical, and deeply human approach behind Master Coach Training. Each of these women has been instrumental in my own growth and healing, and it's an honor to share their wisdom with you.What you'll learn:How nervous system activation impacts your cognitive function and decision-making abilitiesWhy feeling safe in the body is what allows intuition to be heard and trustedHow learning to stay present with big emotions creates a new default response instead of shutting downWhy self-criticism is often a sign of nervous system overwhelm–not a mindset failureThe ethical line between coaching and therapy, and how the two can coexistYou can read the full show notes here.About Melanie FayMelanie Fay is a certified EFT practitioner and professional artist based in New York.

In this episode, Matt Watson — founder and CEO of Full Scale and author of Product Driven — joins Lily and Randy to challenge the longstanding silos between product and engineering.

Finding your niche onlineCredit: Her World SingaporeFormer pageant queen Genecia Alluora on empowering women and building a trusted beauty brand through Shopee livestreamingGenecia Alluora Luo, former Miss Singapore Universe runner-up, has worn many hats – from therapist to mentor and cafe owner. Now, she taps Shopee livestreaming to grow new income streams and empower women, shaped by lessons from her first skincare venture, ALLUORAAs a former Miss Singapore Universe second runner up and Miss Singapore International, entrepreneur Genecia Alluora Luo (@geneciaalluora) is no stranger to the spotlight.She has built up multiple business streams, having been an online business mentor, occupational therapist, and cafe chain owner. Now, through her platform and voice, she's carving out another stream of income for herself, while empowering other women to do the same.She does so by leveraging the power of livestreaming on Shopee. However, her journey hasn't always been smooth sailing. Back in 2013, when she started her own skincare business ALLUORA, her biggest struggle was a common one for many entrepreneurs: getting the word out about her brand and finding customers.Things changed in 2020 when Shopee invited her to set up shop on its platform. “Shopee provides a ready base of customers, and takes care of attracting and converting them into sales for us,” she says.How Shopee supports online entrepreneursShopee simplified the process for Genecia as it oversaw marketing, logistics and campaign cycles, so she could focus on scaling her business.Livestreaming proved to be a further game changer for her business. It enabled her to not just sell her products, but also connect with her customers in real-time, getting instant feedback on their concerns about skin pigmentation and dark spots.All this didn't happen overnight. The competitive nature of livestreaming saw her clocking 12 to 16 hours of livestreaming daily when she first started. She was also able to tap on Shopee's promotional campaign periods, such as 11.11, and push promotional vouchers to customers.During last year's 11.11 campaign, she raked in sales of five figures in just a 90-minute livestream.Behind the scenes, Genecia works with Shopee relationship managers who guide her through campaigns, share updates on voucher drops, and support her in creating product bundles.The business has grown so much that she now has more than 10 affiliates working with ALLUORA, on video content as well as livestreaming. The brand, which is self-funded and profitable, has steadily grown while clinching multiple awards. Her eyes are set on growing it further across the region.More than just building a business, she also hopes to empower women and provide them with an alternative source of income.“It's a way for women to find their financial independence or gain re-entry into independence,” she says, adding that training with ALLUORA and a studio space is also provided for her affiliates.Her goal is to help other women succeed.“Shopee has made it so simple to push products. All you need is a phone, Wi-Fi, a tripod, and a little courage. We coach women to share products they believe in, and earn commission without holding stock. Start small. Learn fast. We do this together,” she says.“I know what zero feels like. I've failed, learnt, and kept going. My work now? To shorten your path from stuck to unstoppable – so you don't have to do it alone. Together we are unstoppable.”With Shopee's user-friendly tools, women entrepreneurs are not only growing their businesses, but also uplifting other women along the way.Read more: https://www.herworld.com/independence/former-pageant-queen-genecia-alluora-luo-empowering-women-and-building-trusted-beauty-brand-throughWatch more: https://youtu.be/KMLUmqDhDtY?si=H9ReMJR-GDZG6VK-

We explore the “28° Sagittarius New Moon Searches Eternal Truth”.The 28°25' Sagittarius New Moon cosmic energies peak on 19 December at 8:43 p.m. EST (Washington DC) and 4:43 p.m. UT (Greenwich, UK). This week we synthesize with the New Moon astrology, numerology, tarot, Jyotish Nakshatra, and Sabian Symbols—a mystical imagery set serving as a unique tool for personal exploration and astrological insight.This is a very thoughtful New Moon despite most all the planets now traveling direct except for a few still traveling in apparent retrograde motion. They are expansive Jupiter, the awakener Uranus, alchemist Chiron, and inclusive disrupter Eris. However, our thoughts rotate as Mercury, now totally out of its recent retrograde path, positions square to the Lunar Nodes. Often called the bendings, our focus turns to the south node in Virgo to figure what form of its archetype we personally need to release. Because Jupiter that rules this new moon makes efforts to adjust to what values really are at the core of understanding a renewed belief system that might include all of oneself as well as in recognition of others. A tall order unless we are willing to readjust our alliances with refocused values.Joining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, HI, are Justin Crockett Elzie of Port Angeles, WA, and Elizabeth (Liz) Muschett from Camano Island, WA.

This episode personal. I'm sharing a major life update: I'm going back to school at 49 to pursue my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.  This new chapter means I'm pressing pause on the podcast so I can focus my time and energy on deeper, more embodied work with my 1:1 clients, the Clear Vision Builders Book Club, in-person gatherings, and my upcoming therapeutic training. In this conversation, I'm opening up about why now is the time for reinvention, what led me to pursue mental health counseling, and how the lineage of strong, brave women in my family shaped this decision.  I also share what's continuing in my business, what's shifting, and all the ways you and I can stay connected in this next era. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to truly follow your Clear Vision in real time, this episode is an intimate behind-the-scenes look into my own evolution. With love,  Lisa My Offerings Clear Vision Builders Eight weeks of coaching, meditation, community, and meaningful action. Our next cohort begins January 2026.

What does the district court’s recent decision in FTC v. Meta portend for the future of the technology sector, free expression, and modern antitrust enforcement? After years of litigation, Judge James Boasberg concluded that the FTC had not established that Meta possesses monopoly power in the relevant social-media market, foreclosing the agency’s bid to unwind Meta’s long-standing acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp.The ruling has prompted vigorous commentary, including renewed debate over the proper role of courts in reviewing ambitious agency theories of market power and competitive harm.Join our panel, featuring former FTC officials and veterans of the Trump Administration, for a timely discussion of the opinion, the critiques, and what this moment may signal for the trajectory of federal competition policy.Featuring: Jennifer Huddleston, Senior Fellow, Technology Policy, Cato InstituteBilal Sayyed, Counsel, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLPDaniel Suhr, President, Center for American Rights(Moderator) Asheesh Agarwal, Consultant, American Edge Project and U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Europe's demand for workers is growing across a wide range of skill levels, with more than three-quarters of small- and medium-sized enterprises struggling to find workers with the right skills. Meeting these labor needs will be essential to sustaining economic growth and competitiveness yet will prove even more challenging as workforces shrink and the digital and green transitions reshape which skills are most valued. At the same time, countries worldwide are competing to attract talent in critical sectors such as health care and construction, making it more important than ever that strategies to attract workers are designed to benefit both migrant-receiving and sending countries.  To ensure that labor migration works for everyone involved, the European Union has promoted a "quadruple win" approach, aiming to benefit employers, workers, and sending and receiving countries. In addition to targeted mobility partnerships with sending countries, European governments are expressing a broader interest in the lessons from existing labor migration corridors to expand opportunities for partnerships that combine support for the movement of talent with investments in local skills development.  This webinar features discussion of a study by the Migration Policy Institute and MPI Europe, commissioned by the European Commission, which examines best practices for designing and managing labor migration corridors between EU Member States and partner countries. Experts discuss findings from the research, which examines the Bangladesh-Portugal, India-Germany, Peru-Italy, Senegal-Spain, and Vietnam-Hungary corridors and offers insights on how to connect employers and workers, promote skills development, protect migrant workers, and maximize benefits for countries of origin and destination alike.

Constipation might not sound like the most glamorous topic, but it's one of the most common and overlooked health issues in the UK. Around 1 in 7 adults and up to 1 in 3 children experience it, and it's responsible for thousands of hospital admissions every year.This week I'm joined by Dr Angad Dhillon, Consultant Gastroenterologist and accredited Bowel Cancer Screening endoscopist at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust.

In this episode, Prerna Singh, CPTO at Avaaz, walks us through how AI is reshaping the way we prototype, learn and build digital products. Rather than replacing teams or skipping straight to production, she argues that AI shines when used as a “thought partner” to accelerate early‑stage experimentation. Through her own journey building a community platform on weekends, she demonstrates how tools like ChatGPT, Lovable (and later Claude / Replet) and Figma AI enabled her to move from blank page to clickable prototype in hours — while retaining the human insight, iteration and context that underpin good product work. The conversation reframes common assumptions about “fast‑AI = bypass human work,” and instead proposes a balanced adoption path: start in “sandbox mode,” learn and play — before graduating to “architect mode” where the real value to business begins.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & AI's impact on product cycles01:43 – Meet Prerna Singh: her background in product and community building03:50 – The community problem: logistics over connection05:11 – Turning to AI to solve her own problem06:50 – What AI can't do: user insight and human judgment08:08 – From waterfall to short-cycle prototyping10:54 – Using ChatGPT as a Socratic thought partner13:07 – Working solo vs team: where AI fits17:17 – From prompt to prototype: using Lovable19:06 – Iterating with Figma AI and other tools23:00 – Real feedback from real users25:02 – Creating a feedback knowledge base with AI26:16 – AI vs design sprints: same principles, new toolsOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

How can you be proactive in your inclusivity?...Today, Abbie, Jamie, and Celia explore disability through the lens of a communication perspective, talking about transforming exclusion into inclusion in every space, changing narratives to focus on "the problem" as an inaccessible society rather than any one disabled individual, unlearning our internalized ableism as a necessary step for all of us, becoming proactive rather than reactive in our inclusive accessibility practices, and creating space for more stories that acknowledge both the systemic nature of ableism with the individual experiences of disability. ...Jamie Shields is a multi-award-winning Disability, Speaker, Trainer and Consultant, Content Creator and Disability Advocate, Registered Blind AuDHD Rhino, the UK's 2nd most influential grassroots Disability advocate. Celia Chartres-Aris is a Disabled Government Advisor, Founder & Investor, Multi-Award Winning Campaigner and Lobbyist, Researcher, Policy and Legal Expert, Speaker and Consultant, recognised as the UK's most influential Disabled person. Together, they are the founders of Disabled By Society, a 100% Disabled owned and led business transforming exclusion to inclusion. 17% of the world's population identifies as Disabled, making us the largest minority group in the world. Despite this, ableism is one of the most under addressed, under-discussed, and underrepresented conversations in society. Society is failing to unlearn our inherent ableism. Everyday, Disabled people face aggressions, encounter inaccessible barriers, are excluded, overlooked, treated as a burden, or seen as a problem to be fixed. As a result, Disabled people are often left to manage internalised ableism in this ableist society. We are on a mission to change this. We cant sit back and do nothing. We partner globally across all sectors to remove the ableism ingrained in cultures, recruitment, products and services, policies, and everything in between. We make the uncomfortable comfortable, ending cycles of oppression and creating an inclusive society that is accessible, empowers, represents and provides opportunity for everyone. Our ground-breaking research and policy work has fed into reviews and cited across the world as never-before-seen data by and for the Disabled community. And through policy, lobbying, consultancy, training, an award-winning podcast, Celia and Jamie deliver award-winning solutions that transform Disability exclusion to inclusion.

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things with your messaging… yet it still isn't landing the way you know it could? You're showing up consistently. You're sharing value. You're following the strategies. But something about your message still feels off, or worse, invisible. In episode 469 of Amplify Your Success podcast, I'm joined by Samantha Riley, Human Design expert and business strategist, to explore why traditional messaging frameworks often fail for entrepreneurs, and how integrating your Human Design can help you express your brilliance with clarity, confidence, and resonance. Samantha and I dive into the five key Human Design elements that influence how your message is received, how you communicate most effectively, and how your natural energetic signature shapes client attraction. You'll even hear a bit about my own Human Design chart and how it's influencing my offers, brand and messaging. When you align your message with your Human Design, everything feels easier, and you stop trying to "sound like an expert" and start sounding like you. If you're ready for messaging that feels authentic, aligned, and powerfully compelling, this conversation will help you tap into a deeper level of expression and visibility.

In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, originally broadcast in October 2025, I reflect on the evolution of the podcast and how my coaching now supports B2B consultants at all revenue stages. I talk about the three key business growth 'eras' I coach and the importance of creating a $100K consulting offer so you can work less and earn more. I also introduce my new free guide, The Business Remodel, and announce limited spots for private coaching in 2026. If you're ready to elevate your consulting business, this episode is for you! Quotes:  "When you start to offer high ticket consulting where you're serving the top of the market - the companies who can actually afford you, using your whole brain and the depth of your expertise and experience instead of just 3% of your skills and abilities - this means you can serve a handful of clients and make insane money as a result." "It's not always about doing loads of really hard and scary things. It's about finding that alignment - doing the things that come naturally to you, instead of feeling like you have to become a completely different person and override all your natural instincts and your intuition." "You aren't yet financially free and you plan to invest more into your retirement fund. You want to serve at a higher level, and work with senior leaders and C suite level leaders. You want your advice and expertise to make a difference in companies that shape the world. And this is my favourite bit - you want all of these things AND to be back in time for dinner. You want your weekly yoga class and coffee with your friends and time outdoors with your pets, and to live a healthier lifestyle without perpetual stress and rushing. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that your $100K consulting offer will put your business in a place where it delivers all of these things."
