In this episode of The Period Recovery Podcast, I'm sitting down with Sarah, a registered dietitian and former D1 swimmer, to talk about what it looks like when you “technically never really had a period,” get placed on birth control as a teenager, and then come off the pill years later… only to realize your body still isn't ovulating.Sarah shares what it was like being told “it's normal” because she was lean, athletic, and stressed, how intense training and under-fueling quietly shaped her hormones over time, and why she refused to go back on birth control when her doctor suggested it. We also go deep into the part women don't expect: how period recovery isn't just about getting bleeding back — it's about safety in the body, identity, nervous system regulation, and learning how to let go when your brain is wired for discipline.If you're dealing with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), missing periods after stopping birth control, or you're “doing all the things” (eating more, resting more) but still stuck in your head… this one will land.What we cover:“I never really had a period” — primary amenorrhea, birth control, and the confusion it createsD1 training, under-fueling, and why your nervous system may never feel “safe”Missing periods after stopping the pill (post-pill amenorrhea vs HA)Why doctors often recommend the pill (and what that misses)Estrogen, bone health, and cardiovascular risk when cycles are absentThe discipline trap: when athlete mindset becomes food controlThe hardest part of recovery: uncertainty, identity, and weight gain fearsWhy some women get their period back right after committing to supportHow life can feel “fine” and still get bigger, deeper, and more beautiful in recoveryWhat to do when you get 1–2 cycles and the next one doesn't show upIf you want support restoring your cycle while keeping an active lifestyle (without living in your head), apply for coaching here:  https://0u8h3wddwmr.typeform.com/StrategyCallDiscover the truth about HA:  click the link to download Cynthia's fact sheet that debunks common myths and misinformation! Website: https://www.periodnutritionist.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/period.nutritionistFor the full show notes - please visit my website: periodnutritionist.com

What does it really take to build an ethical supply chain from the ground up? In this show, we learn from one of the very best. Note: Shows are never sponsored, ie companies paying us to appear on the show. An ad is an ad, and the show is the show. I'm publishing this because we all need to believe there are companies out there with mounting proof of concept that you can design for a better world through business. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Gero Leson, an accomplished physicist and environmental scientist who has worked for some of the biggest companies in the world and then met David Bronner, CEO of Dr Bronner's. David implored him to join Dr Bronner's in the early 2000's, on a mission to build an ethical supply chain of the highest standards. We explore how one of the world's most values-led companies approaches transparency, cross-cultural leadership and business ethics in practice - not just in marketing.Gero shares how Dr Bronner's moved beyond buying ingredients on the open market, moved beyond labels and just ‘trusting it was fine because it sounds good'. They've built companies that farm and produce the raw materials that they use for their famous soaps and other products, as well as selling the raw materials to other brands seeking a fully transparent and ethical, regenerative supply chain. They've done this in Sri Lanka, Ghana, India and beyond. From creating fair-trade supply chains where none had existed to the standard they wanted to uphold, to investing in regenerative agroforestry, community education and healthcare. This is business as a vehicle for agency and dignity.We discuss:Why radical transparency is becoming the antidote to consumer distrustHow ethical sourcing is not about fixing one issue, but committing to long-term engagementThe power of leadership teams over heroic individual leadersWhy dignity and agency motivate teams more than rules and controlThe balance between efficiency and humanity in global businessThis conversation is not idealistic. It is grounded, complex and honest about the challenges. But it is also deeply hopeful. Gero says, “We joke about saving the world with soap but in a way, it's true”. If you have ever wondered whether business can truly be a force for good, this episode offers real-world proof that it can - when values are embedded at every level.Enjoy the show, Alexx Stuart, your host.

In this reflective and practical episode of Breaking the Rules, the hosts unpack a phrase that shows up constantly in therapy rooms: “I don't feel ready.” What does it actually mean? Is readiness a feeling—or is it a decision we make in the presence of fear, uncertainty, and discomfort?Using OCD as the primary lens, this conversation explores how clients often wait for certainty, calm, or clarity before taking action—and how that waiting quietly reinforces avoidance. The discussion moves beyond symptom management and into the deeper work of distinguishing thoughts vs feelings, building emotional literacy, and helping clients move forward despite anxiety rather than waiting for it to disappear.This episode is especially valuable for clinicians working with ambivalence, treatment resistance, or clients who feel “stuck” before starting ERP or making meaningful behavioural change.

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.

Recorded live at Momentum 26 in Newcastle, this special episode of The UK Flooring Podcast is Sarah Cockerill's keynote, delivered to a room full of flooring business owners who probably did not come for “a talk about numbers”. Sarah opens with a confession that will feel familiar: she is not naturally a numbers person, and she actually hates them, but she has learned that the right numbers, looked at consistently, will tell you the real story of your business.She takes you back to where her relationship with money started (Yorkshire upbringing, Barclays in the family, bags of pub receipts on the living room floor), then brings it right into the messy middle of running a flooring business. A knock on the door from HMRC (a £20k CIS bill) kicked off a chain reaction that lots of owners will recognise: trying to “sell your way out” of a cash problem by pushing turnover, getting bigger, adding people, and hoping the money sorts itself out. Sarah is very clear, that approach nearly cost them everything.From there, the keynote becomes a practical reset. Sarah breaks down what actually went wrong (overtrading, losing control of cash flow, treating the business account like a personal purse, and letting systems lag behind growth), then gives a simple framework to stop it happening to you. No accounting lectures, just habits: keep all finance data in one place, use separate bank pots (especially for HMRC), pick one tool, pick one report, learn a small set of key numbers, and ask for help the moment you do not understand something.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why “numbers tell a story”, and how to read the story without being an accountantThe real danger of chasing turnover to solve a cash problem, and why it feels right in the momentThe HMRC CIS bill lesson, and what it revealed about cash flow and controlThe three silent killers Sarah points to: overtrading, losing control of cash flow, and treating the business bank account like your own purseWhy growth is not the problem, but growth without systems isHow to simplify your finances fast: one inbox (accountant email), one place for data, and a set time to deal with itWhy separate bank pots matter (including a dedicated HMRC pot), and how it removes panic from the business“Choose one tool”, and stop mixing spreadsheets, software, and half-finished systemsThe power of one report (year-to-date, month-by-month) to spot patterns quicklyHow department coding helps you track where profit is really being made (or lost), and why that matters when you run multiple servicesA simple way to hunt “profit leakage”, and identify the small gaps that quietly drain profit over timeThe most important rule if you are confused by any of it: ask someone who understands, and learn through consistencyMemorable Quote:“Numbers tell a story.”Speaker InformationSarah CockerillKeynote recorded live at Momentum 26 (Newcastle)Where to Find The UK Flooring Podcast:Website: https://theukflooringpodcast.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theukflooringpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theukflooringpodcast/ Hosted on Acast.

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."

Most mortgage leaders won't struggle in 2026 because of interest rates, regulation, or technology.They'll struggle because they fail to evolve how they lead people.In the Season 7 premiere of Laugh, Lend & Eat, the conversation challenges conventional thinking around leadership, retention, and AI in the mortgage industry. Instead of chasing trends or blaming the market, this episode focuses on the behaviors, decisions, and blind spots that will separate leaders who thrive from those who fall behind.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy traditional management approaches are breaking downThe hidden cost of ignoring retentionHow leadership behavior impacts stability and growthWhy coaching and mentorship matter more than controlThe real role of AI in exposing value—not replacing peopleThe mindset shift required to lead confidently into 2026Key Leadership InsightsAs markets tighten, leadership gaps become obvious. The episode draws a clear line between managers who react and leaders who build systems that work. It explores why organizations focused only on recruiting often struggle with turnover, burnout, and inconsistency—and why long-term growth requires clarity, accountability, and trust.AI Isn't the Threat—Weak Leadership IsAI is framed as a tool for leverage, training, and clarity. Used well, it amplifies strong leadership. Used poorly, it exposes the absence of direction, culture, and authentic value.Notable Quotes from the Episode“Managers blame people. Leaders fix processes.” — Fobby Naghmi“Retention is harder than recruiting—but it's where real growth happens.” — Justin Neal“AI doesn't replace people; it exposes who actually brings value.” — Ginger Bell“Fear is irrelevant and unhelpful.” — Eleni TheodorakisWhy This Episode Matters2026 will reward leaders who build people, not just pipelines.Those who fail to adapt will feel it first—in retention, trust, and performance.This episode sets the tone for Season 7 with honest leadership conversations rooted in experience, accountability, and long-term thinking.Follow Laugh, Lend & Eat on Spotify for more conversations on leadership, mortgage lending, and what it really takes to grow in changing markets.

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?”

“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.

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.

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.

Hormone Health and HRT: Understanding the Truth Beyond Myths of Menopause with guest expert Dr. Sarah DacarrettThere is way too much confusion and misinformation circling around menopause right now. So, this episode cuts through the noise and gets you the answers you need. Right now.Hormones affect everything—your mood, sleep, energy, and more. And during menopause, things can get a little... wild.There's a lot of noise out there when it comes to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), and not all of it is trueIn this episode, you will learn:Impact of the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study on HRT perceptionsMisconceptions about HRT causing breast cancer—what science actually saysWhy early hormone health education is crucial before menopauseHormones as master regulators of overall health and agingWhen and why women should discuss HRT seriously with their doctorsHRT benefits for women undergoing menopause and perimenopauseSafety and use of vaginal suppository HRT for breast cancer survivorsSystemic nature of vaginal hormone delivery and its implicationsComparing patches, oral pills, and vaginal HRT: risks and benefitsBalancing risk versus benefit in hormonal treatments like birth controlThe concept of “post birth control syndrome” and its health impactsThe importance of patient informed consent and understanding treatment trade-offsRole of the breasts and uterus in hormone metabolism, beyond the liverIodine's role in hormone metabolism and managing breast and menstrual symptomsModern iodine deficiency compared to ancestral diets and its health consequences… And much more!ABOUT OUR GUEST EXPERT: Dr. Sarah Daccarett is dedicated to ensuring your symptoms are no longer mis-diagnosed or ignored.Dr. Dacarrett says, “In my mid-thirties after the birth of my son, my hormone levels never recovered.After trying every available product, I realized there were NO solutions specifically to meet the needs of younger women who want to feel young and vibrant again.I invented the Inner Balance protocol and Oestra because I needed it. 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.

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.
