Welcome back to Small Business School! In today's episode, Staci sits down with Kim Hiebert, CEO of Door Gurus, for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about franchising without the glossy brochure promises. Drawing from her experience as both a former franchisee and a current franchisor, Kim breaks down what most people don't ask before buying into a franchise, where real value actually lives, and why support, integrity, and financial literacy matter far more than a recognizable logo.Key topics covered:The biggest myths about franchising and why it's never a “set it and forget it” businessHow to evaluate the real value exchange before buying into a franchiseWhy brand recognition alone doesn't guarantee success (especially in small markets)What Kim's experience as a franchisee taught her about building an ethical franchisor modelThe three non-negotiables Door Gurus built into their franchise structure and why they matterWhy community, relationships, and reputation are becoming more powerful than rigid brand controlThe hidden risks of brick-and-mortar, inventory-heavy franchise modelsWhy financial literacy, cash flow awareness, and understanding your numbers are essentialHow ongoing support (not just SOPs) determines long-term franchise successWhat to look for in a franchisor when things inevitably get hardFranchising isn't about buying a name, it's about partnering with people who are invested in your success. This episode is a reminder to slow down, look past the logo, and choose business models built on integrity, support, and long-term sustainability.Connect with Kim:Instagram: @kimberley.hiebert @doorgurus.caWebsite: www.doorgurusfranchise.comStaci's Links:Instagram.

Hi friend — welcome back to The Habit Within. I'm Camille Kinzler, and today's episode is one of the most personal reflections I've shared in a long time.This conversation was born out of my Word of the Year — courage — and the very real, very uncomfortable ways it's been showing up in my life. Not as boldness. Not as fearlessness. But as the courage to be more authentically myself.To follow my intuition.To honor my nudges.To use my voice differently.To stop performing and start leading from alignment.And that's what this episode is really about:What does it mean to lead without armor? Without ego. Without performance. Without needing to be right, liked, or approved of.In this episode, I explore:Why courage isn't about being louder — it's about being more honestHow my Word of the Year has been confronting me dailyWhat it means to lead with your voice — not to fill space, but to create meaningThe difference between reactive courage and intentional courageWhy leadership rooted in intuition feels different than leadership rooted in controlThe four pillars of authentic leadership:Self-awareness — understanding your triggers, patterns, and motivationsAccountability — owning your choices without needing consensusVulnerability — leading without armor or egoPositive mindset — holding vision without denying realityThis episode is about becoming, not performing. About choosing truth over approval. About learning to trust yourself through discomfort. About letting your voice come from presence instead of protection.Authentic leadership doesn't ask you to be more impressive.It asks you to be more you.Big TakeawaysCourage without awareness becomes reaction.Awareness turns courage into choice.Leadership doesn't require certainty — it requires honesty.Vulnerability builds trust more than perfection ever will.You don't need armor to lead — you need alignment.Authentic leadership begins the moment you stop performing.A reflection for youWhere in your life are you performing instead of leading?Where are you staying quiet instead of being honest?Where are you choosing comfort over truth?If this episode resonates, I'd love to hear from you.

Good movement has rhythm.Day 23 focuses on proprioceptive rhythm — the body's ability to sense position, timing, and movement in space, then respond smoothly and efficiently.Proprioception is your internal GPS. Rhythm is how that information gets expressed through movement. When both are dialled in, movement feels effortless, coordinated, and controlled. When they're off, everything feels clunky, rushed, or disconnected.This session is about refining that connection.You'll work through patterns that develop:Awareness of joint position and body orientationTiming and sequencing between limbs and trunkSmooth transitions between acceleration and controlThe ability to move with flow rather than forceProprioceptive rhythm improves balance, coordination, and adaptability. It allows you to react instead of think, adjust instead of brace, and stay organised when conditions change.This day also reinforces an important idea: not all progress comes from pushing harder. Sometimes it comes from moving better — with more awareness, better timing, and less unnecessary tension.Expect movements that feel subtle but revealing. Small changes in tempo, direction, or load will expose how well the system is communicating.Feel the position.Find the rhythm.Move with precision.Day 23 sharpens awareness and flow — essential skills for durable performance.Shaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various stages of life."I shouldn't be in the position I am right now."

It's easy to read Scripture with your spouse in mind.In marriage, we often approach the Bible looking for what they should change instead of allowing God's Word to confront us first. But Scripture was never meant to be a tool for managing your spouse's obedience. It's meant to shape your own heart.In this episode of the One Degree Marriage Podcast, we talk about why the Bible addresses individuals before relationships, how passages like Ephesians 5 are often misunderstood, and why obedience in marriage isn't meant to be transactional. We also discuss what faithfulness looks like when your spouse isn't changing, how to pursue obedience without resentment, and when bringing in wise counsel is both biblical and necessary.This conversation is for Christian couples who want a stronger, healthier marriage but feel stuck focusing on what their spouse isn't doing instead of what God is calling them to do.In this episode, we cover:Why Scripture is meant to be a mirror before it's ever a megaphoneHow Ephesians 5 speaks to personal responsibility, not controlThe difference between faithfulness and transactional obedienceWhat to do when obedience isn't reciprocated in marriageWhen prayer, counsel, and community are essentialWhy marriage isn't about fixing each other, but pursuing faithfulness togetherOne Degree Shift:This week, read Scripture asking, “How am I being called to obey?” rather than “How should my spouse change?”

Motherhood doesn't just change your schedule — it changes who you are.In this episode of Lais & The Coach, we sit down with Marlene, former elite CrossFit Games athlete turned holistic postpartum coach and founder of The Mighty Mom Blueprint, for a deep, honest conversation about identity shifts, burnout, and why “bounce-back culture” is setting women up to fail.We talk about:Why trying to “go back” after motherhood creates frustration and guiltHow high-achieving women struggle most with loss of structure and controlThe difference between self-care and self-sacrificeWhy 5 minutes of movement matters more than the perfect workoutHow identity drives behavior — and why most moms feel stuckWhat sustainable postpartum health actually looks likeWhy capacity, not discipline, is the missing piece for exhausted momsThis isn't about hacks, meal plans, or doing more.It's about rebuilding from the inside out — mentally, emotionally, and physically — so you can show up as a better mom, partner, and human being without burning yourself into the ground.If you're a mom who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck between who you were and who you're becoming… this episode is for you.

In this episode, Michelle explores what happens when you don't know the next step—and why that experience is far more human (and helpful) than we've been taught to believe.She discusses:Why not knowing feels so uncomfortable—and where that discomfort comes fromHow diet culture and hustle culture both promise certainty and controlThe nervous system's role in urgency, overthinking, and premature decisionsWhy uncertainty is often information, not dangerHow the urge for clarity can show up with food, body image, relationships, and workThe difference between aligned action and action driven by discomfortWhy some seasons are meant for pausing, integration, and listening—not fixingHow body trust requires slowing down and tuning into subtle signalsWhat it really means to “stay present” instead of forcing answersMichelle also shares a powerful reflection prompt to help you notice where you might be pressuring yourself to know more than you do right now—and what might shift if you allowed yourself to simply not know, just for today.Reflection prompt from the episode:Where in your life are you pressuring yourself to know more than you actually do right now?And what might shift if you allowed yourself to not know—just for today?As always, thank you for being here and for allowing this to be a space where certainty isn't required and being human is enough.

In this episode of Murder in the Black, hosts Steph and Maia tell the story of Erica Vassel, a vibrant 21-year-old from Clewiston, Florida, whose life was cut short just days after Super Bowl Sunday in February 2011.Known as America's Sweetest Town, Clewiston sits on the edge of the Everglades, surrounded by sugar cane fields and built on familiarity and trust. But when Erica failed to come home, that sense of safety quickly unraveled.Steph and Maia walk listeners through who Erica was before she became a headline — a young woman full of color, ambition, and promise — and then carefully unfold the events surrounding her disappearance, the rumors that flooded her small community, and the investigation that followed. As detectives chased leads, a burner phone, and conflicting stories, the truth ultimately emerged through a shocking confession.This episode also explores the cultural and spiritual concept of “root work”, how belief systems can be misunderstood or weaponized, and the dangerous consequences when fear overrides accountability.Through reflection, this case challenges us to consider trust, vigilance, and how even familiar places can hold hidden dangers.The life and legacy of Erica VasselHer disappearance and discovery in Clewiston, FloridaHow rumors and community speculation can complicate investigationsThe role of belief systems in criminal confessionsThe dangers of misplaced fear and controlThe importance of community awareness and accountabilityA family's fight for truth and justiceMissing persons • Community trust • Violence in familiar spaces • Cultural misunderstanding • Accountability • Vigilance • JusticeThis episode invites listeners to reflect on personal safety, community responsibility, and how easily danger can be overlooked when it hides behind familiarity.

Tabs is joined by special Christmas guest Steff from The North Bank Pod (@northbankpod) to break down Arsenal's tense and very on trend 2–1 win over Brighton — a match full of chances, missed chances, defensive chaos, and one world‑class save that kept the points at the Emirates. They discuss Odegaard's superb opener, Gyökeres' frustrating finishing, the ongoing injury crisis in defence, and the nervy spell that nearly cost Arsenal control. With Brighton threatening late and Arsenal underperforming their xG yet again, the pair explore whether this is simply variance or a growing concern. They also look ahead to a huge clash with Aston Villa, where both teams' statistical trends could collide in dramatic fashion.

In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, Raven and Matt Hepner continue The Indiana Zone series with a deep, critical breakdown of the documentary Age of Disclosure.This is not a surface-level reaction. The hosts dissect the UFO disclosure narrative, intelligence community messaging, Vatican involvement, and the spiritual implications behind the modern push to normalize “non-human intelligence.”Topics covered include:Why Age of Disclosure feels engineered, not revealingIntelligence community spokespeople and narrative controlThe emotional and spiritual “heaviness” behind disclosure mediaTransmedium craft, ocean activity, and underground speculationBiological effects, radiation exposure, and military encountersWhy aliens, demons, and deception are being separated on purposeBiblical prophecy, the Days of Noah, and end-times conditioningTimothy Alberino's past warnings vs current disclosure toneThis episode asks the hard question:Is disclosure about truth — or preparation?

“Weakness simply means your capacity is lower than what the moment requires.”I recorded this episode in the middle of a full, emotional, end-of-year season. The kind where you want to soak up every moment with your kids, make the holidays meaningful, and still somehow hold it all together… while feeling stretched, tired, and not quite like yourself.And that's exactly why I wanted to talk about weakness.Because what we usually call weakness isn't failure. It isn't a character flaw. And it doesn't mean something is wrong with you as a parent or a human. Most of the time, it simply means the demand of the moment exceeds your current capacity.In this episode, I walk you through how I've learned to understand weakness differently and what actually helps when it shows up, especially during high-demand seasons like the holidays.In this episode, I share:Why weakness tends to surface when life gets full, loud, and emotionalThe reframe that changed everything for me: weakness is about capacity, not characterHow shame turns moments of weakness into yelling, spiraling, shutting down, or controlThe four ways I see parents (and myself) respond to weakness:Projecting it onto our kidsAttacking ourselves with “I should be better”Trying to overpower it with willpowerHiding it and calling it “fine”Why self-attack does not create strength and what it actually does to your nervous systemHow truth and honesty stabilize your body and open the door to growthWhat I do now when I realize my capacity is lower than the moment requiresWhy repair matters more than perfection and what really builds resilience in kidsThe shift I'm inviting you into:Instead of asking yourself, What's wrong with me? Try asking, What support do I need right now?Because capacity can be rebuilt. Regulation can return. And when weakness is met with compassion instead of shame, it often becomes the place where connection deepens and growth begins.What I encourage you to practice this week:Stop running from weakness and get honest about what's happeningReplace criticism with curiosityLead with compassion first because safety is what allows changeDecide what actually needs support, not what needs to be fixedLet go of performance and focus on repair and honesty insteadA question to sit with:Where do you notice weakness showing up for you right now? And what might you need to adjust or ask for so you can show up with more kindness instead of more pressure?You don't need to be strong all the time to be a great parent. You just need to stay honest, keep noticing, and be willing to repair.xoxoAndee :) Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

In this brand new episode, I'm joined by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner Elizabeth Katzman, who works with women who feel like they're “doing everything right” yet still battling fatigue, bloating, weight gain, anxiety, and hormonal chaos in perimenopause.Together, we unpack one of the least-discussed contributors to midlife symptoms: the long-term impact of hormonal birth control.Elizabeth breaks down how birth control affects every system of the female body—from thyroid function to bone density, minerals, gut health, hormone communication, inflammation, and even nervous system regulation. And most importantly, she explains how these effects can linger for years after stopping birth control, often showing up most dramatically in perimenopause.Whether you were on birth control for two years or twenty, whether you stopped in your 20s or are still on it in your 40s, this episode will help you understand your symptoms in a whole new way.In This Episode, We Cover:Elizabeth's story and how she became an FDNHow hormonal birth control actually works inside the bodyThe silent, long-term “birth control hangover” that impacts women in midlifeWhat Elizabeth sees in her practice when women enter perimenopause after years on birth controlThe difference between stopping birth control young vs. staying on it into your 30s and 40sWhy birth control is still handed out to women in perimenopause—even when they don't need contraceptionHow to safely support your hormones, thyroid, minerals, gut, and detox pathways after long-term hormonal birth controlElizabeth's raw, unfiltered advice for every woman navigating perimenopauseHow to learn from and work with ElizabethKey TakeawaysHormonal birth control leaves functional imprints on the body—impacting thyroid conversion, bone density, mineral levels, gut permeability, inflammation, and clotting risk.Women often feel the effects most deeply during perimenopause, when the body is already undergoing major hormonal shifts.You can support and heal from the birth control hangover through mineral replenishment, gut repair, liver support, and hormone communication restoration.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Roseanne Dawes, a mother whose journey through heartbreak, surrender, and unexpected grace will stay with you long after the episode ends.Roseanne shares the deeply personal story of the eight months when her son broke all contact with her—months filled with uncertainty, fear, and the pain of not knowing how to move forward. What began as a devastating experience became the catalyst for a profound internal shift.As she wrestled with sorrow and confusion, Roseanne began to see the limitations of her own black-and-white thinking. She recognized the ways she had clung to certainty, control, and “the right way,” and how those patterns had unintentionally created distance in her most cherished relationships. With honesty and humility, she describes the moment she realized that her son's choices were never hers to manage.Her story is tender, relatable, and full of hope. Together, we talk about:How to move from fear and judgment to compassion and trustLetting go of the illusion of controlThe life-changing truth that every one of us—no matter our path, questions, or choices—is always in God's handsIf you've ever loved someone who is choosing a different direction, or if your heart aches for a child who has pulled away, this episode is a gentle reminder that God is working in ways we cannot see. Roseanne's journey shows us that peace is possible, healing is real, and no one is ever beyond the reach of divine love.Connect with Shiree at ⁠shireebest.com⁠ Join the⁠ "Just Love Them" Facebook group⁠Email Shiree at imlivinginjoy@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/roseanne.dawesListen to The Anchored Podcast HERE.

This podcast discusses alternative ways to wealth management. Rebecca Irey from Austin, Texas, joins to share how she sets people free with generational wealth creation. A fascinating podcast.Summary of PodcastCasual conversation about England, Ireland, and immigrationThe discussion begins with a casual conversation about the differences between England, Ireland, and the UK. Rebecca shares her American perspective that she sees them all as the same, which her Irish friends disagree with. The group debates the nuances of the regions and the local reactions to immigration.Introducing the podcast and guestsGraham and Kevin introduce the "Next 100 Days" podcast and welcome Rebecca as a guest. They establish that the discussion will focus on wealth management from a US perspective, with Rebecca's expertise.Rebecca's background and philosophy on wealthRebecca shares her personal story of growing up on a ranch in South Dakota and experiencing the loss of the family's land due to financial mismanagement. This shaped her views on the importance of understanding financial rules and leveraging money rather than just earning it. She explains her belief that wealth is about having enough to do what you want, when you want.Generational wealth and financial strategiesRebecca describes how she has set up her children and grandchildren to be financially secure, using tools like indexed universal life insurance policies to create generational wealth. She contrasts this with the traditional "earn, save, invest" approach and explains how she helps younger clients leverage their money rather than just accumulating it.Differing perspectives on ownership and controlThe group discusses the philosophical differences between "owning nothing and being happy" versus the traditional Western view of accumulating assets. Rebecca explains how she helps clients control their finances without necessarily owning everything, while Graham and Kevin share their concerns about the potential downsides of that mindset.Reflections on the podcast experienceRebecca provides a positive testimonial about her experience on the "Next 100 Days" podcast, noting that she enjoyed learning different perspectives from the UK-based hosts.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled ten years ago to help business owners and marketers market to affluent and high-net-worth customers.

I also realized that I wasn't alone - that hormone levels decline drastically in our 30s - NOT when our period stops in our 50s like we have been told.Women every day suffer from endometriosis, PCOS, postpartum depression, effects of birth control, hair loss, depression, fatigue, and a whole host of health problems due to low estrogen and progesterone.They are mis-diagnosed, mis-treated, or blown off as "just a part of being a woman", "just a part of aging", "you're too young", "you are normal," or even worse "you're just crazy."Meanwhile advancement in men's and transgender hormone replacement therapy is a decade ahead of women's. We think this is unacceptable, antiquated and marginalization of women.Women no longer have to settle for "normal" but rather they can feel exceptional - always."WEBSITE: https://www.innerbalance.com/INSTAGRAM: @sarahdaccarettmd****************************************SAY "NO MORE" TO TOXIC LAUNDRY - BUT YES TO FRESH SCENT WITHOUT HARMIt shocked me that our laundry rooms are often one of the most toxic places in our homes.After breast cancer, I began changing out my personal care and beauty but didn't even think about my cleaning supplies.For laundry, I found a few brands that are really clean and free of harmful ingredients, but still searched for that fresh scent without the toxic junk. Found it...

In 2010, software engineer Natalie Gordon was pregnant– and fed up with the overwhelming baby aisles in big box stores. So she quit her computer job to code the registry she wished existed. No pink-and-blue giraffes. No allegiance to a single store. Just a universal list that let friends give the real help that new parents need—from strollers to diaper services to dog-walking.Natalie coded the first lines of Babylist during her son's nap time. She managed customer support, pitched bloggers from coffee shops, and learned growth the hard way—first through affiliates, then with a pivotal Pinterest bet, and finally by taking on her own inventory (and all the headaches that come with it). Along the way she wrestled with hiring, firing, fundraising, and the identity shift from founder to CEO.

This is a masterclass in living a problem–and building a solution.

Your village is out there, waiting for you. It might even be knocking on your door, and you haven't realized. People often think they need to make enormous shifts to find community; they need to move to a tiny village on the other side of the world or into a compound in the woods. But that's not true. Here's what you actually need: subtle shifts and a willingness to be uncomfortable. So many people talk about how they want a village, and yet, I see them rejecting the small changes they need to make to let their villages in. They won't accept help – a ride to the airport, a babysitter, a pre-cooked meal – because they don't want to put a person out or let go of control.I can offer to pick up your groceries or watch your children over and over again. I am choosing that; I want to be in community with you. But at the end of the day, you have to want that, too. We need to co-create this relationship and support system together. In this episode you'll hear about:Community, which is cited as the answer for societal issues like childcare/elder care shortages, mental health issues, etc. – but rarely is there advice on how to find itThe idea of “hiring” a village – a message families often hear – for grocery pick-ups, babysitting, Uber rides, etc.Rejecting help when you need it because you feel like you can't accept unpaid help or are unwilling to let go of controlThe level of internal required to step off the hamster wheel and be willing to feel discomfort in either asking for help or offering itResources & LinksListen to Episode 8 with my friend Adrienne about building a friendship community for her family.Like what you hear?

Ever get to that point in a painting where nothing's working the way you thought it would? Where the idea is still in there somewhere, but the canvas isn't cooperating?That's not a mistake. That's the part where things get real.In this episode of the Savvy Painter podcast, we're talking about the Exploration phase of the Creative Spiral. The phase most artists dread, not because they're doing it wrong, but because it asks them to stay with what's actually happening in the painting. Not the plan. Not the ideal image in their head. Just… this. Right here.It's uncomfortable, often messy, and full of not-knowing. But it's also where your voice starts to take shape, not as an idea, but in the act of making.

Meditation is an invitation to that vulnerability, the rawness and openness of the heart. Not because it's good for us, but because it moves us back to the truth that we are held. If we can sit and open, we'll discover that this universe that has given birth to us really does hold us.” – Jack KornfieldThis episode recorded on 03/08/1993 at Spirit Rock Meditation Center was originally published on DharmaSeed. “Nirvana, which is the absence of suffering, doesn't mean that the world goes away.
