But long before she developed The Bereavement Journey — an award-winning UK-based grief support programme — Jane was just a teenage girl grieving her mother — quietly, and without much support.In this episode, Jane shares her personal story of grief and healing: from losing her mother as a teen, to later losing her young child, to eventually creating one of the UK's most trusted bereavement support resources.

After a six-month hiatus, I'm back — with clarity, vulnerability, and a few dating disasters worth laughing over. In this deeply honest episode, I open up about what nine months of alcohol-free dating has taught me about my patterns, self-worth, and the kind of love I'm truly seeking.From chasing emotionally unavailable partners to realizing how many first dates feel like monologues, I reflect on the painful, funny, and unexpectedly healing parts of modern dating — sober. I share the inner shifts I've experienced, why temporary highs are no longer worth the crash, and how every relationship (or lack thereof) is a mirror guiding me back to myself.Whether you're sober-curious, dating, single, or simply doing the deep work of healing, there's something in this episode for you.  Key Takeaways:The impact of sobriety on clarity, patterns, and emotional availability in datingWhy we chase temporary highs and what that reveals about unresolved woundsHow to break the cycle of seeking worth through conquestThe subtle (and not-so-subtle) red flags that become obvious when you're soberThe emotional toll of performative dating culture and one-sided conversationsHow dating is a mirror for our deepest insecurities — and our growthThe importance of staying grounded in your worth regardless of someone else's attentionCheck out my book, Struck Inside Out: Essays, Meditations, and Poetry to Help You Heal Heartbreak, Embrace Change, and Love Yourself: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/Struck-Inside-Out-Meditations-Heartbreak/dp/B0BP4D8MTT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Struck Inside Out Audiobook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/Struck-Inside-Out-Meditations-Heartbreak/dp/B0CPYW3JPM/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify Writing Playlist: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7BRDzK21DbrIEadQdjoPjR?si=0f9ec1aaddfd4e52⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Danielle:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/struckinsideout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@struckinsideout?_t=8jItIyuhHHa&_r=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-bertoli-6015889b/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Struck Inside Out Merch:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.struckinsideout.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brand Partnerships: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.struckinsideout.com/partnerships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for my newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.struckinsideout.com/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Insight Timer Meditations: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://insighttimer.com/daniellebertoli⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Audio Producer: Owen KellyFollow Owen on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mixedbyowen_?igsh=ZzB1ZWdoOGd1aTV3⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode of Scrappy ABM, Mason Cosby shares a special session pulled from a recent webinar. It's a hands-on, highly tactical walkthrough of how to launch a closed lost ABM program—with real playbooks, tested frameworks, and a focus on what's actually changed since the opportunity was marked “closed lost.”Mason lays out why these lost opportunities are your highest-potential revenue channel: you've already spent money to acquire them, you've built real relationships, and your sales team wanted to win them. Now it's time to resurrect that pipeline—fast and scrappy. Using the 4D framework (Data, Distribution, Destination, Direction), this episode gives you everything you need to plan and launch your program next week.Whether you're dealing with pricing objections, missing personas, or lost champions, this episode gives you structured, no-fluff ways to reignite deals that were nearly closed. Don't let them stay dead.

“There are two gifts that God has given to man alone, and to no other mortal creature, and these two gifts are Mind and Speech. And the gifts of Mind and Speech are essential and identical with Immortality. If they are used rightly, man will not differ in any respect from the immortals; and when he quits the body, these two will be his guides and they will lead him into the troop of the gods and. to the souls that have attained to bliss.” The Hermetica, Walter Scott (Translation)Imagine possessing a power so profound it shapes the very fabric of your reality. This isn't mere fantasy—it's your birthright. As human beings, we've been gifted with two extraordinary abilities: mind and speech. These aren't just tools for communication; they're the very essence of our creative force.In this enlightening exploration, we'll uncover the true nature of these gifts and how they're intrinsically linked to our immortal selves.

How would you respond if someone presented a challenge to the truth claims of Christianity? Would you be nervous? Feel ill-equipped? What if you could eliminate your anxiety, take control of intimidating conversations, and help others think more clearly about their views and the truth of Scripture? The key to all of this? Asking good questions. That's what Greg Koukl's latest book, Street Smarts, is all about. Greg is back on the podcast to talk about how questions can help answer Christianity's toughest challenges.Koukl has hosted his call-in radio show Stand to Reason for over 30 years, has written many helpful books including Tactics: A Gameplan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions.Street Smarts picks up where Tactics left off, providing model questions and example conversations to effectively discuss your Christian beliefs, even on hot-button issues such as moral relativism, the authenticity of Scripture, the gospel, abortion, marriage, gender, and more.In this discussion we'll talk about:How Greg became involved in apologeticsHow Street Smarts expands on the book TacticsThe difference between harvesting and gardening when it comes to evangelismThe benefits of asking questions in difficult conversationsHow we can be better equipped to engage with others on difficult, controversial issuesYou can find the show notes for this episode at ReasonableTheology.org/StreetSmarts, where I will put links to our previous conversation on Tactics as well as the different resources we mention during our conversation.Get the newsletter at ReasonableTheology.org/Subscribe.

Anyone ever explain something to you & you finally feel seen? They have this beautiful way of uncrumbling the paper in your head & the dots connect? That is to me is this badass, Mori Taheripour, as she beautifully & in a human first approach talks about something that for the longest time made me uncomfortable & cringe worthy, conflict & negotiations. I heard her on the Brand Builders podcast (episode linked here). I had to pull the car over, multiple times, to take notes & I thought to myself, she is my human. Mori is a negogiation expert who creates transformational change in people who are seeking a great meaning in life  & work. She teaches negogiations & dispute resolution at the Wharton School at the University of PA. Above all else, she's an authentic, purpose driven, badass human. In this conversation with Mori, which is my hope this feels like you've pulled up a seat next to us at the kitchen table (you know those conversations feel like soul food). We talk about this digital world & the sacrifice that we're making by being constantly connected & we don't even realizeHow this exhaustion & frantic pace we live in negatively impacts how we show up in any & all conversationsHow to look at our life scraps & bruises & the permission slip on how to ask for help & how we've both struggled with that Connect with Mori:Instagram: @mthaeripourHer book / Bring Yourself: How to Negotiate Fearlessly Sign up for her newsletter (I'm a huge fan of the content): moritaheripour.comCheck Out Our Voices of the 21st Century / Women Transforming The World Fireside Chats: Megan-Miller.comStay Connected With our Social Tribe:Instagram: @megan.b.millerLinkedIn: meganmillerintention
