What if the harshest critic in your life isn't someone else—it's you?We judge ourselves constantly. Our fears, our bodies, our parenting, the way we show up in relationships. And while we think judgment is motivating us to change, it's actually keeping us trapped in cycles of shame, anger, and disconnection.In this episode, Dr. Glenn Hill, Phyllis Hill, and Tera Wages unpack the destructive patterns of self-judgment and reveal the powerful alternative that transforms everything: curiosity.You'll discover:Why toddlers don't judge themselves and what we can learn from their natural self-acceptanceThe shame-anger cocktail that fuels judgment and keeps you stuckHow 10 seconds of curiosity can completely change any interaction or internal struggleWhy keeping your struggles secret feeds shame and makes judgment growThe question that stops judgment cold and opens the door to compassionHow to recognize your personal trigger topics so you can respond differently next timeWhy social media has created a judgment epidemic and how to protect yourselfReal-life examples of shifting from judgment to curiosity in marriage, parenting, and everyday momentsWhat to do when someone shuts down (the "still face" phenomenon) and you feel flooded with shameWhether you're battling negative self-talk, living in fear of others' opinions, or finding yourself quick to criticize people around you, this conversation will give you practical tools to break the judgment cycle and step into genuine emotional freedom.What you'll walk away with:The understanding that judgment isn't helping you grow—it's keeping you isolated. But when you get curious about yourself and others, everything shifts. Compassion replaces criticism. Connection replaces division. And you finally get the space to be your authentic, vulnerable self.Keywords: self-judgment, mental health, emotional regulation, marriage counseling, shame and anger, curiosity vs judgment, self-compassion, relationship communication, emotional intelligence, breaking negative patterns, therapy tools, mental wellness, emotional freedom, self-criticism, Nashville therapist

Rabbi Shloime Schwartzberg on Let's Get Real with Coach Menachem, Sunday, January 18, 2026 #257The World Was Created for You!Why comparison, self-doubt, and feeling replaceable are costing you your life

From solving problems under fire to policing your own community, this conversation delivers raw insights on leadership, stolen valor, and why veterans must protect public trust.

Let's talk about how the fear of letting go is often the exact thing keeping founders stuck, whether it's at a revenue plateau, in team chaos, or just straight-up exhausted. This episode talks about why your business can't be built on “cement” (aka rigid control) when the world is built on constant change (market shifts, team changes, and yes… vibes). You'll hear the difference between relinquishing control and relinquishing accountability, and why confusing those two will sink you in founder quicksand. Listen in to hear why:Control isn't a growth strategy, it's usually a fear response wearing a blazer.Relinquishing control does NOT mean relinquishing accountability.Your advisors should evolve with your business, because the people who got you to $100K might not be the ones who get you to $1M.Autonomy is a culture feature. If your managers can't make decisions, your company can't grow (and your inbox becomes a war zone).

What if the reason you're working nonstop but still not seeing real profit has nothing to do with mindset and everything to do with your numbers? In this episode, Ati sits down with operations and finance expert Michelle Ghassemi to break down the single most important metric every coach and service provider must track to build a sustainable, six- or seven-figure business — without burnout or guesswork.

If you're not getting responses from administrators, not booking multi-day contracts, or not seeing consistent growth, the issue isn't your expertise—it's how you're positioned.You'll learn what authority really looks like in the consulting space, why frameworks and evidence matter more than ever, and the key shifts that separate booked-out consultants from everyone else.

You ever think you're burned out… but realize you're just exhausted from being available to everybody but yourself?Yeah. That part.In this episode, I'm coming back from a short hiatus and telling the truth about why rest didn't actually feel like rest. It wasn't burnout. It was overextension.Too many conversations. Too much access. Too much proving love by showing up at the expense of my own goals.We talk about the difference between consistency and over-availability, how poor boundaries turn other people's urgency into your emergency, and why this season of building requires less access to me and more commitment to myself.This isn't about cutting people off.It's about finally choosing yourself without guilt.

If job costing only tells you what went wrong after a project is complete, it isn't protecting your margins; it's just record keeping. In this episode of Cultivating Business Growth, Megan Spicer is joined by construction industry expert Katina Peters of Willow Virtual CFO to break down how construction job costing should function as a real-time leadership system, not post-mortem accounting. They discuss why lack of job visibility shows up as profit problems, where job costing typically breaks down, and the job costing best practices contractors can use to protect margins while a job is still running, not after it's too late. If you're tired of surprise overruns, delayed billing, and jobs that look profitable on paper but not in reality, this episode will help you rethink how job costing supports profitability, cash flow, and smarter decision-making.

Your influence strategy might be costing you the very opportunities you think you're earning. In this masterclass edition of Negotiate Anything, we expose how staying silent, minimizing your value, or waiting to be “noticed” can quietly undermine your compensation, credibility, and career trajectory. This episode brings together elite leadership and HR perspectives to challenge one of the most dangerous negotiation habits: negotiating down on yourself before the conversation even begins. You'll learn why high-performing professionals — especially senior leaders — often fail to articulate their true value, how fear distorts negotiation decisions, and why companies expect you to advocate for yourself. From adopting a “mercenary” mindset toward your career, to understanding the full scope of what's negotiable beyond salary, this conversation reframes negotiation as an ongoing process — not a one-time event at the offer stage. You'll also discover why personal visibility and pre-negotiation positioning are just as critical as what you say at the table. Whether you're preparing for a promotion, evaluating an offer, or aiming for the boardroom, this episode equips you with the mindset shifts and practical strategies to normalize discomfort, claim your worth, and negotiate from a position of strength. Key takeaway: Negotiation isn't confrontation — it's a dance. And when you're prepared, confident, and clear on your value, everyone walks away with a better trade.

This week on the Play It Brave podcast, I'm doing something a little different — I'm bringing you behind the scenes for a real coaching session with one of my favorite photographers (and one of my trusted second shooters), Jasmine Ortiz. This episode is for every photographer who has ever thought: "I know my work is good… so why do I get weird and wobbly the second it's time to talk about pricing?" Because that moment — where you're ready to raise your rates, step into a higher tier of client, and be paid like the artist you actually are — requires more than updating a number on a proposal. It requires an identity shift. In this conversation, Jasmine shares what's been happening as she raises her prices: how her old sales call script worked at a lower price point, but suddenly feels stiff, robotic, and way too logistics-heavy for the clients she wants to book now. And from there, I walk her through the exact framework I teach inside my one-to-one coaching and masterminds — the same structure that's helped photographers go from booking $3–6K weddings to booking $8K, $10K, $20K, even $30K. Because at the luxury and intro-luxury level, clients aren't choosing you because you're "easygoing" and "go with the flow." They're choosing you because you feel like a leader. A director. An artist with presence, taste, and a clear process. And the best part? You can learn that. You can practice that. You can embody that. In this episode, we talk about: Why so many photographers unintentionally dilute their authority by trying to be the couple's "bestie" How luxury clients want warmth, yes — but they also want clarity, confidence, and precision The difference between "participating" in the call vs. leading the call How to ask better questions than "So what's your vision?" Why selling at a higher level means selling an experience and a feeling, not hours and deliverables How to keep the first call exciting (and not turn it into a timeline-planning meeting) What to say instead of "We can totally do whatever you want" (because… no. Not if you're positioning luxury) The 7 shifts I gave Jasmine (you can steal these too): Before we recorded, Jasmine sent me a transcript of a real sales call — and once I read it, I found seven immediate tweaks that would completely change her conversions at a higher price point. Here they are: Stop being overly casual. Warm is good. Too familiar is not. Luxury requires a calm, grounded presence. Don't let the couple dictate the call. They don't want to run the show — they want to hire someone who can. Step into the identity of the director. You're not auditioning to be chosen. You're guiding them through a curated experience. Remove all "wishy-washy" language. "Whatever you want!" is not elegance. Recommendations are. Mirror their exact words back to them. This is huge. If you don't repeat their emotional buying criteria, they won't feel seen. Hold the space as an expert guide. Don't match chaos. Don't match overwhelm. You hold the calm. Stay professional while still being warm. Approachable, yes. Chatty friend energy, no. If you're in the season of raising your rates, hear me when I say: you don't just raise your prices — you raise your presence. You shift your language. You shift your leadership. You shift your identity. Because luxury clients aren't buying your packages. They're buying you.

When your best worker becomes a new leader, the transition isn't always smooth. In Part 1 of the From Laborer to Leader series, Joey and Mike break down the leadership paradox facing small businesses today—why technical excellence doesn't automatically translate into leadership success, and what it truly costs when that gap goes unaddressed. Drawing from real client stories and years of field experience, they unpack the hidden impact on production, team morale, the business owner's bandwidth, and the individual who suddenly feels in over their head. This episode highlights the critical need for intentional equipping, clear expectations, and leadership development if you want your people—and your company—to grow with purpose.

Approval addiction is one of the most overlooked habits keeping smart, capable people stuck. In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE with Ginny Priem, we break down why seeking external validation feels so powerful, the science behind approval, and how modern culture fuels people-pleasing behaviors.Backed by behavioral science and psychology research, this conversation will help you understand why being liked can quietly cost you your voice, your energy, and your self-trust and how to UNSUBSCRIBE™ from approval addiction without becoming cold or disconnected.If you're ready to stop over-explaining, second-guessing, and living for other people's reactions, this episode is for you.Joe Navarro Article: LINKED HEREThank you to our sponsors:INE+ Nutrition: Get 15% off your Super Greens, Collagen Powder and more with code GIN15.

Most chiropractors don’t avoid performance reviews because they don’t care — they avoid them because they feel awkward, confrontational, or unnecessary.

You’ll learn: • Why performance reviews aren’t about grading, but growth• The simple 3-part framework that makes reviews calm and productive• The difference between routine, performance, growth, and reset reviews• The questions great leaders ask to create clarity and accountability If you want a more self-managed practice, stronger culture, and less time spent micromanaging, this episode will change how you think about leadership.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Craig Poole, a three-time Hilton Connie Award winner and AHLA's General Manager of the Year, shares why returning to the basics of hospitality starts with leadership presence on the floor. He shares how being visible to guests, employees, and the surrounding community directly impacts revenue, demand, and long-term growth.

Send us a textBeing kind is not the problem. Being ethical is not the problem. Being heart-led is not the problem. But being “good” like a "good girl conditioning" at the expense of being honest, direct, decisive and in your full embodied power is costing you clients, money, momentum and success.In this episode, we're talking about the hidden cost of “good girl business.”We unpack:How being agreeable dilutes your messagingWhy over-consideration creates under-conversionThe ways moral superiority sneaks into under-earningHow fear of being judged keeps you vague instead of potentWhy neutrality is not safety, it's actually invisibilityI also share:How the need to be liked undermines authorityWhy clarity feels “edgy” when you've been conditioned to soften everythingThe difference between ethical leadership and self-silencingHow your business becomes more impactful when you stop trying to be palatableWhen you stop trying to be “good,” you create space to actually DO GOOD in the world with the resources you are responsible for.

What if restoring impossible relationships just required knowing what's on the other side? In this episode, Greg Stephens shares how 24 years as a master trainer for Crucial Conversations taught him that breakthroughs aren't permanent until they're practiced over and over. That realization led him to shift from training to coaching, creating a six-month program where executives and emerging leaders have conversations they never thought possible. His specialty? Seeing relationships like some people see music, orchestrating conversations where people show up as their best. Greg also reveals why his mentor Bill Solomon intentionally made his welding job miserable before college, teaching him the resilience he'd need to push through Baylor surrounded by wealthy students. Most powerfully, he explains "emotional accounting": why putting off a Friday conversation until Monday doesn't just ruin your weekend, it costs you exponentially more on the back end.   [00:04:44] What Alignment Resources Does Company goal: everyone eats at the trough (trainers train, coaches coach, sales people sell, speakers speak) Greg's specialty lives in areas of difficult relationships, everyone has at least one Works with relationships that seem impossible Application of Crucial Conversations tools for talking when stakes are high [00:05:40] Twenty-Four Years Teaching Crucial Conversations Was master trainer in Crucial Conversations, taught it for 24 years starting in 2001 Before the book was written, it was called "Path to Dialogue" then "Dialogue Smarts" One of first master trainers, stayed until January this year when he released his book Got to travel the world, train on stage, do keynote talks [00:06:00] Why Breakthroughs Need Practice People would take class, have great experience, have aha breakthrough moments Found that breakthroughs aren't permanent until they're practiced over and over If you want permanence around a breakthrough, you've gotta go do something That piece was lacking, so decided to shift business to coaching [00:06:20] The Six Month Coaching Program About six month program, 20 different weeks Teaching executives and emerging leaders (ages 21-28) Wanted to teach younger generation what executives said "I wish I'd learned this 20, 30 years ago" Most people say "I've had a coach before, this is nothing like it" [00:07:00] Building Up and Completing Relationships Build people up in relationships, let them go back and improve, clean up, or complete relationships Complete doesn't mean never see person again (could, but doesn't have to) Can work next to person and have completed relationship around an issue It just doesn't show up for you anymore because you know where you stand, said what you need to say [00:07:40] The Skills Most People Don't Have Coaches and mentors say "you need to go have this conversation," but how? There are skill sets you need, the application of them, and how to make adjustments People talk about psychological safety but don't know how to create it What to do when your emotions take hold or other person's emotions take hold [00:08:20] How to Really Listen When You Disagree How do you begin to really listen when you disagree with everything being said? How do you get on the right topic? Most people don't know how to dissect and break down conversations Greg helps dissect it and break it down for people [00:08:40] Executives on Retainer Some executives don't want to learn all skill sets, just want someone to do it for them Working with groups on retainer where they call when they have big problem They lay out background, what they've done, then Greg lays out plan for conversation Role plays exactly what might happen, clients say "it was like you were right there" [00:10:00] When People Don't Show Up as Their Best Sometimes people have breakdown, don't show up as their best, come back saying "I really blew it" Great learning point, it needed to be this way Limiting belief: thinking it's over when conversation goes badly When you know these skills, you can go back over and over and reset [00:11:20] What Drives Greg Most Watching people restore relationships they thought were just not possible Worked with police captains on issue, individual conversations showed no one thought it could be done Scheduled for four sessions, had breakthrough after first session One person took responsibility for their part, allowed everyone else to take responsibility [00:13:00] It's Still Hard Even With Skills People say "you have the skill, you should be able to do it" Greg still doesn't like having difficult conversations Doesn't want to have the conversation, but wants what's on the other side "Stop looking at the conversation right now. Let's look at what you want beyond that." [00:14:00] Work is Easy, Personal is Hard When working with businesses, always eventually get to their personal lives Those are the much more difficult conversations Work is easy, we all want to make more money and enjoy work Hardest ones are family businesses with so much emotion and unspoken hierarchy [00:16:00] Bill Solomon Changed Everything Gentleman who wrote forward to Greg's book, had heart transplant before writing it Bill told Greg "I'm so glad you asked me to write the forward because I couldn't stop writing" Two months later Bill had book of his own called "Losing Control" (in his seventies) Was the person who pointed Greg toward something more in his life [00:17:20] The Welding Job That Taught Resilience Bill gave Greg job before college as welder's helper (Bill was CFO of company) Told the guys "You're gonna like this guy I'm bringing in, but treat him like crap" "Tear him down every day. Make him feel stupid. You're gonna begin to like him. Make it hard on him." Never told Greg this was happening [00:18:20] Breaking the Golden Handcuffs Wouldn't have business today without Bill Solomon Getting through Baylor, getting great job, then getting out of job and breaking golden handcuffs Starting own business in 1999, none of that would've happened Bill took interest, made it difficult on purpose, said "you're gonna be a great leader one day" [00:21:40] Greg Reynolds Called Every Day After Greg's divorce, Greg Reynolds called him every day for three months All he said was "How you doing today? How you doing today?" One of hardest times Greg ever went through Showed Greg the power of that, he's done same thing for friend of his [00:22:20] Taking Interest in People If you really want to take interest in a person, find out what they're doing every day Every one of these gentlemen shaped how Greg mentors others Having conversations he never would've had, saying what he never would've said Taking interest like Bill Solomon did, being there like his coaches [00:24:40] "What Do You Want to Do?" Woman was looking at situation from the past when she didn't have skills Now she does have skills "Question isn't what they want or what I want to do. It's what do you want to do?" She got quiet: "I want to have the conversation." [00:25:00] Over 20 Resets to Stay on Track They practiced again, she went and had conversation Wrote amazing email about how each time she had to stop herself and come back Get conversation back on track by sharing your best intent Had to do that more than 20 times [00:28:20] Investing Upfront vs. Costing on Back End If you add skillset and knew how to address it, you'd say "I'm not wasting my weekend" Have conversation, no matter what outcome, it's out of you Have entire weekend to problem solve whatever that was and learn about what you did Used time wisely by investing upfront rather than it costing you on back end [00:31:40] Marcus Newcomb Connection Marcus Newcomb is special person, they hit it off Greg has gotten to meet so many great people networking and marketing his book Kevin is "the real deal"   KEY QUOTES "Breakthroughs aren't permanent until they're practiced over and over. So if you want permanence around a breakthrough, you've gotta go do something." - Greg Stephens "If you really want to take interest in a person, find out what they're doing every day." - Greg Stephens "My life is built on the shoulders of all my friends and people in my life that have shown me so much." - Greg Stephens CONNECT WITH GREG STEPHENS

Send us a textWhy Vanity Metrics Are So TemptingClicks, impressions, and giant top-line numbers feel good—and they're easy to measure. Anthony explains that brands and agencies often lean on these because they make progress look “sexy” in a deck, even when they don't connect to business outcomes.The Metrics That Actually MatterKendra presses on what marketers should track instead. Anthony breaks it down by funnel stage and business model:For B2B and lead-gen teams:Lead volume and lead qualityConversion behavior after the click (time on site, page depth, engagement paths)Feeding those quality signals back into ad algorithmsFor e-commerce:Revenue per campaignCost per acquisition (CPA) vs. customer lifetime value (LTV)Target CPA thresholds to ensure profitabilityAnthony's bottom line: The two most important metrics are CPA and LTV—and every other KPI should support them. When Algorithms Work Against YouA huge chunk of the episode is about how campaigns go sideways when the wrong signals are optimized. If you optimize for clicks, the algorithm finds more clickers—not buyers.They dig into how metrics aren't bad—they're just often misused.Examples Anthony gives:ROAS is critical for shopping/e-commerce conversion campaigns.Video view-through rate matters for awareness campaigns, since the goal is warm-audience building.Target impression share is valuable in branded search as a defensive move, ensuring competitors don't steal your brand traffic. Competitor Bidding: Old Advice vs. NowKendra asks about the old-school thinking that bidding on competitor names doesn't work. Anthony clarifies the difference between:Branded defense campaigns (protecting your own name)Competitor conquesting campaigns (showing up as an alternative in a buyer's search)He argues conquesting can be effective because you only pay on clicks, yet still gain impression value and market-share opportunities. Balancing Short-Term Pressure with Long-Term GrowthB2B cycles are long, and clients want fast wins. Anthony recommends a full-funnel budget split:Some spend for the 1% ready to buy now (lower funnel)Significant investment to warm the other 99% (awareness + consideration)Biggest Lesson Learned: Simplicity ScalesAnthony closes with his core marketing takeaway: The best campaigns aren't the busiest—they're the clearest. When you focus on the right audience, the right offer, and the right KPIs, everything improves: creative, reporting, and results that compound over time. If you want to connect with Anthony or learn more about Volo Media, check out the links below.  And if you've ever been sold a pretty dashboard full of meaningless numbers… this one's for you. Connect with Anthony:Website: https://www.vallomedia.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonychi Looking to leverage AI?

Navigating Business Growth with Patience & PurposeWelcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast ✨In this solo episode, Chrystal unpacks a powerful four-year framework for business growth she recently heard from Faith Morris, a remote operations partner whose perspective immediately stopped her in her tracks.After hearing Faith explain this framework on Instagram Stories and in an email, Chrystal felt called to expand on it—through an embodied, nervous-system-aware lens—and explore how this way of thinking can completely change how we experience growth, scaling, and success.No hustle. No panic. Just clarity, timing, and intention.What We Explore in This EpisodeWhy outside perspectives can change everythingSometimes the most impactful insight doesn't come from inside your own brain—or even your own business. Chrystal shares why hearing this framework from Faith helped her reframe “being behind” into being exactly where she's meant to be.The 4-Year Framework for Sustainable Business GrowthYear One: OrientationThis phase is about learning, not proving. You're getting familiar with your business, your leadership, and your capacity. The focus is foundation—not fast revenue.Year Two: ExperimentationYou test. You try. You explore. Some things stick, some don't—and that's the point. This phase builds discernment, not perfection.Year Three: EvaluationHere's where refinement happens. You assess what's actually working, cut what isn't, and strengthen what is. This is where businesses begin to feel cleaner and more confident.Year Four: AccelerationOnly after the groundwork is laid does true scaling make sense. Growth in this phase feels expansive—not chaotic—because the systems, clarity, and nervous system capacity are already there.Why patience is a strategic advantageChrystal breaks down how trying to skip phases often leads to burnout, resentment, and unnecessary complexity—and why honoring timing creates more sustainable success.An embodied take on growth & coachingThis framework pairs beautifully with somatic work. When your nervous system is regulated, you're able to move through each phase with intention instead of urgency.Why revisiting the basics is leadership, not regressionEven advanced entrepreneurs benefit from reassessing foundations. Sustainable growth requires ongoing reflection—not constant acceleration.Take This With YouNotice where you might be rushing a phase your business hasn't completedGive yourself permission to be in processUse experimentation as data, not a verdictBuild in regular moments of evaluation and recalibrationYou're not behind. You're building something that lasts.Final ThoughtsBuilding a business is a long-term relationship. When you respect each phase, you create something that supports your life—not consumes it. Growth doesn't need to be forced to be powerful.✨ Credit where it's due: This four-year framework was inspired by insights shared by Faith Morris—and expanded here through an embodied lens.

#672: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week — five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's letter I stands for Increasing Your Income. This episode originally aired in August 2024, but the strategies are more essential than ever. Jeff Wetzler, Ed.D., reveals why the people around us withhold crucial information — and how asking better questions can transform your negotiations and net worth. __________ You've mastered the art of asking for what you want — or have you? Jeff Wetzler, Ed.D., a former education executive, joins us to reveal why most of us fail to extract crucial information from the people around us. Think about it: when was the last time someone told you what they really thought about your work? Or shared that game-changing idea they'd been sitting on? Wetzler discovered four categories of information people routinely withhold — and the cost runs deeper than you might expect. We explore why people stay silent about their struggles, unpopular opinions, observations about us, and innovative ideas. The reasons range from fear to simple exhaustion, but one stands out: they don't think we want to know. Here's a startling example from Harvard Business School research: investigators planted smudges on their faces and surveyed people. Less than three percent told them about the mark that they could wipe off in one second. But when asked later, 100 percent had noticed it. If people won't share something that simple, what else are they keeping from us? Wetzler shares his Ask Approach — five steps that unlock hidden information in any negotiation or relationship. We walk through real scenarios, from salary negotiations to buying cars, showing how curiosity beats strategy every time. One mechanic story drives this home. Facing a $2,000 air conditioning repair, Wetzler asked one question: "Do you have any other creative ideas?" The mechanic paused, then offered a $75 solution that worked perfectly. That five-second question saved $1,925. We discuss practical listening techniques, including the "doorknob moment" — why therapists know the most important information comes at minute 49 of a 50-minute session. Wetzler explains why our minds process 900 words per minute while our mouths manage only 125, creating a massive information gap. The conversation includes AI's surprising role in sharpening these skills, helping us frame conversations into content, emotion, and action. Wetzler demonstrates how technology can enhance rather than replace our uniquely human ability to connect and learn from each other.

Those "quick questions" your patients sneak into chats, emails, and hallway drive-bys are quietly draining your time, profit, and clinical excellence. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on boundary creep; what it looks like, why it happens, and the exact phrases you can use to redirect those questions into paid appointments so you can protect your schedule, your sanity, and your bottom line. So if you've ever given out your cell number, answered a Practice Better chat at night, or tried to handle a full clinical case in your DMs, friend… this one is for you. I'm walking you through how over-access erodes your authority, leads to inferior clinical decisions, and leaves you resentful and exhausted. You'll hear real stories from my own practice (yes, including the one where I missed a key clinical clue in chat), plus clear, copy-and-paste language you can use by email, phone, in-office, and even at church or the grocery store.

As we close out the year and head into a new one, it's time to get honest. Most businesses won't fail in 2026 because of the economy — they'll fail because they're still operating like it's 2019. In today's Five Minute Friday, I'm breaking down the four biggest mistakes I saw retailers make over the last year — mistakes that are quietly costing you time, money, margin, and momentum. If your business feels busy but not profitable, chances are one (or more) of these is holding you back. You'll learn: What winning retailers will do differently in 2026 The shift from "pretty branding" to real customer relationships How ignoring cash flow and margin creates long-term stress Why underutilizing AI and automation is no longer an option  The dangerous gap between sales and actual profitability

Hey Clutterbugs! Overconsumption is costing you cash, time, and calm. And it's crowding your home! In this episode, I walk you through a simple No-Spend Challenge, practical spending rules that fit real life, and the home routines that help you buy less and use what you already own. It's a great way to start the New Year. Decluttering, believe it or not, is a financial strategy! We'll talk about the hidden costs of clutter (duplicate purchases, food waste, storage fees), how to track real savings each week, and the mindset shifts that stop impulse buying. I'll share quick wins—like a 20-minute Weekly Financial Reset, pantry “use-up” lists, and 3-minute decluttering tasks—that reduce decision fatigue and protect your budget. If you're ready to save money, cut clutter, and feel calmer at home, this is your starting line.   #clutterbug #podcast #mondaymotivation #motivation #finances #selftalk #decluttering #savemoney #nospend #newyear #financialstrategy #getorganized   Website: http://www.clutterbug.me YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clutterbug TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clutterbug_me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutterbug_me/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Clutterbug.Me/
