This week on Typology I had the joy of sitting down with author Hanna Howard, an Enneagram Four with a Five wing. Hanna's not only the author of the young adult fantasy novel Our Divine Mischief, but also a great example of how our Enneagram type shapes the stories we tell — on paper and in life. We talk about what sets a 4w5 apart — that mix of emotional depth and intellectual curiosity. While a 4w3 may lean toward image and achievement, Hanna shares how her Five wing draws her inward, toward reflection, research, and a rich world of ideas. Hanna opens up about her lifelong search for authenticity — that familiar Four longing to feel significant — and shares a moment from her college years when a single line from Twelfth Night put words to that ache for belonging. Of course, we talk about Our Divine Mischief — Hanna's alternate-history fantasy set in a magical version of Scotland. At its core, it's a story about belonging, something every Four knows well, complete with a wish-granting dog (yes, really). It's a rich conversation about creativity, personality, and the longing we all carry to belong. I hope you enjoy it. And if you're looking for a beautiful read, check out Our Divine Mischief.

You'll get practical insights and encouragement whether you're gearing up for a launch, deep in the studio, or resting between collections.

Most people think ego is the villain - the thing to transcend or eliminate. But what if ego isn't one solid thing at all? What if what you call "ego" is actually a collection of internal characters, each with their own agenda, fears, and strategies for survival?Eastern wisdom points to ego as the illusion of separate self, but modern psychology reveals something even more precise: you're not dealing with one ego - you're dealing with multiple subpersonalities, internal parts that developed to help you navigate different challenges. The problem isn't that you have an ego. The problem is that one of these parts has taken over the show.Your "dominant subpersonality" - whether it's the People Pleaser, the Controller, the Rebel, or the Perfectionist - is running your life from the shadows, making decisions, filtering reality, and shutting down other aspects of your authentic self. Meanwhile, your Creative, your Visionary, your Authentic Self, and countless other capacities remain locked away, unexpressed, waiting.This isn't about eliminating ego. This is about recognizing the internal democracy you actually are, understanding how one part became dictator, and learning to integrate all your aspects into conscious, fluid expression. When you stop being unconsciously run by one subpersonality and start consciously orchestrating your full internal team, everything changes - your relationships, your work, your creativity, your capacity for joy.ANNOUNCING: THE LIMITLESS EXPERIENCEDaniel D'Neuville is a peak performance coach, spiritual teacher, and master life and business coach.

Sometimes, the bad thing happens—again. The kind of news that flattens your plans, your energy, your sense of who you are. And you think, surely that’s enough now. Haven’t we hit the quota for suffering? But there’s no quota, just the long middle where life doesn’t follow a script and you’re left figuring out how to be a person again. Suleika Jaouad knows this terrain well. She’s a writer, artist, and advocate, beloved for her memoir Between Two Kingdoms and her new offering The Book of Alchemy—a creative companion for those learning to live when life doesn’t go according to plan. Diagnosed with leukemia in her twenties and now navigating her third relapse, Suleika brings a voice shaped by experience, beauty, grief, and humor. Together again on the Everything Happens podcast, Suleika and Kate talk about: how illness reshapes the rhythms of a life the grief and freedom of falling apart—and not rushing to fix it the idea of “creative injuries” and why so many of us stopped making how small rituals can anchor us in seasons of uncertainty why creating something, anything, can be a way to stay human in the in-between If you liked this episode, you might also like: Artist Lanecia Rouse Tinsley on “When Hope Seems Lost” Stacey Heale, “The Aftermath of the Aftermath” Suleika’s first and second Everything Happens episodes Watch clips from this conversation, read the full transcript, and access discussion questions by clicking here or visiting katebowler.com/podcasts.

If you're a multipassionate ADHD-ish creative who tends to be much better at starting a project than finishing it, wonders if it's really possible to stand out in a crowded market, and struggles to figure out how to make a living from art and make a difference in the world, this Client Success Story episode will resonate with you, big time. My guest today is one of my favorite people, Jess Malli Mercier, the creative genius behind my podcast and business rebrand. You're in for a raw and honest conversation about being a creative solopreneur, wife, and mama—and how we worked together to find focus, consistency, and self-acceptance without taming the wild genius of her brain.Jess opens up about lessons learned, including letting go of perfectionism, honoring brain-based rhythms (hello, hyperfocus sprints and creative rest!), redefining consistency outside of hustle culture, and the life-changing freedom of making her business fit her life, not the other way around.We get real about the unlearning process, too—wrestling with guilt for stepping away, rethinking “should,” and discovering the value of fully present moments (even if that means building pillow forts with your littles before getting back to work).Highlights of this episode:The Magic of Collaborative Branding: Jess reveals why the best branding isn't transactional—it's about deep collaboration that reveals what makes you (and your business) truly unique.Owning Your Brain—Labels or Not: We talk candidly about labels like ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and why the label itself might not matter as much as learning to work with your “big beautiful brain” (as Jess calls hers) Making Space for Joy, Mess, and Rest: Ultimately, the episode is a reminder not to confuse hustle with success, or routine with progress. The goal is to create a life and a brand that reflects your truest self, even when that looks different from the mainstream. Jess and I both agree: eat the cake, savor the little moments, and let your business be as unique as the brain behind it.Jess's superpower: Jess's approach to branding involves making her clients step into their metaphorical red stilettos— pushing them out of their comfort zone so they can find their x-factor. In her words, “I don't want small talk. Show me your fucking soul.”Want to connect with Jess?

We're diving into the art of embracing imperfection in your wedding films and how leaning into raw, honest moments (yes, even the ones with tricky lighting or imperfect angles) can actually elevate your work and serve your clients better.We talk about using black and white footage as a storytelling tool, releasing the pressure to make everything look perfect, and trusting your instincts more than the rules. Because the truth is, the best filmmakers aren't the ones who never miss focus—they're the ones who know what really matters in a film.Let this be your permission slip to trust your eye, shoot what feels real, and keep growing into the creative you're meant to be. You don't need to do it all flawlessly to make something unforgettable.

In this insightful episode, Dave Dubeau sits down with real estate developer Dusten Hendrickson to explore a unique model for workforce housing that's challenging traditional multifamily design. Broadcasting from Brookings, South Dakota, Dusten breaks down his proven approach to creating “modern workforce housing”—efficient, wellness-focused multifamily buildings that are attractive, affordable, and strategically located in suburban communities. Dusten shares how his company, Mailbox Money RE, balances design aesthetics and financial performance by skipping high-cost amenities and focusing on features that actually improve tenant well-being—think floor-to-ceiling windows and in-unit laundry, not pools and elevators. He also outlines the full-cycle development process, from site selection and financing to lease-up and eventual sale. With over 20 years of experience and $500M in transactions, Dusten reveals why this repeatable, scalable model is gaining traction across states like Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, and Wisconsin—and why both investors and municipalities are taking notice. What You'll Learn: The difference between “big-A” and “little-a” affordable housing Why many renters value natural light and storage over pools and gyms How his team delivers stylish suburban apartments at half the downtown price The benefits of a repeatable, systemized development model His timeline from land purchase to full lease-up—and eventual refinance or sale - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

With summer right around the corner, many of us are longing for a true break—but how do we make sure our vacation leaves us rested, and not just overly busy in a different location? In this refreshed replay of a listener favorite, we revisit eight practical and faith-rooted steps to help you plan a vacation that restores your soul, strengthens your relationships, and honors your calling. Inspired by Mark 6, where Jesus invites His disciples to “come away… and rest,” this conversation blends spiritual wisdom and real-world strategies to help you prepare well and return refreshed. If you're already planning on getting away this summer, this is the episode you will want to hear before you go. In this episode, John discusses: How to plan for true rest before, during, and after your vacation The importance of prayer, preparation, and support systems Creative ways to build margin into your time away Budgeting and financial strategies that align with faithful stewardship Key Takeaways: Start your vacation with prayer—lift up your work, your family, and your time away, inviting God to go before you and be present in every moment. Build support and set boundaries at work—from assigning a vacation buddy to crafting a thoughtful out-of-office reply, prepare to unplug with confidence. Plan both structure and spontaneity—leave room for rest, play, delays, and the unexpected ways God may show up in unplanned moments. Stay financially grounded—determine your budget in advance and vacation at the speed of cash to enjoy peace both during your trip and after you return home. “Your work can wait. Your rest cannot. Jesus is waiting. Your family and friends are too. And may this year be the year of your best vacation ever.”  CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

Summary In this episode of Practically Magic, host Courtney delves into the concepts of inner child and shadow work, exploring their significance in emotional healing and personal development. She discusses how childhood experiences shape our beliefs and coping mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of addressing these aspects for holistic healing. The conversation also touches on developmental stages, the interplay between inner child and shadow work, and the transformative power of creative expression through art. Latty encourages listeners to engage with their inner child and highlights various methods for healing, including emotional processing and mindfulness practices.   Takeaways Inner child work involves connecting with past selves to heal present issues. Shadow work is about understanding and integrating parts of ourselves created from trauma. Developmental stages significantly impact our emotional and psychological growth. Healing through art can facilitate emotional expression and processing. Respecting oneself is fundamental to emotional healing and self-love. Trauma is subjective and varies from person to person. Engaging with your inner child can lead to profound healing experiences. The connection between inner child and shadow work is essential for holistic healing. Creative expression can help children and adults process their emotions. Mindfulness practices can aid in recognizing and addressing past traumas.

If you're a multipassionate ADHD-ish creative who tends to be much better at starting a project than finishing it, wonders if it's really possible to stand out in a crowded market, and struggles to figure out how to make a living from art and make a difference in the world, this Client Success Story episode will resonate with you, big time. My guest today is one of my favorite people, Jess Malli Mercier, the creative genius behind my podcast and business rebrand. You're in for a raw and honest conversation about being a creative solopreneur, wife, and mama—and how we worked together to find focus, consistency, and self-acceptance without taming the wild genius of her brain.Jess opens up about lessons learned, including letting go of perfectionism, honoring brain-based rhythms (hello, hyperfocus sprints and creative rest!), redefining consistency outside of hustle culture, and the life-changing freedom of making her business fit her life, not the other way around.We get real about the unlearning process, too—wrestling with guilt for stepping away, rethinking “should,” and discovering the value of fully present moments (even if that means building pillow forts with your littles before getting back to work).Highlights of this episode:The Magic of Collaborative Branding: Jess reveals why the best branding isn't transactional—it's about deep collaboration that reveals what makes you (and your business) truly unique.Owning Your Brain—Labels or Not: We talk candidly about labels like ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and why the label itself might not matter as much as learning to work with your “big beautiful brain” (as Jess calls hers) Making Space for Joy, Mess, and Rest: Ultimately, the episode is a reminder not to confuse hustle with success, or routine with progress. The goal is to create a life and a brand that reflects your truest self, even when that looks different from the mainstream. Jess and I both agree: eat the cake, savor the little moments, and let your business be as unique as the brain behind it.Jess's superpower: Jess's approach to branding involves making her clients step into their metaphorical red stilettos— pushing them out of their comfort zone so they can find their x-factor. In her words, “I don't want small talk. Show me your fucking soul.”Want to connect with Jess?

On this episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews George Otel, a commercial real estate finance expert and founder of US Business Funding. George shares his journey from the transportation industry into real estate, detailing his pivot into multifamily and ultimately commercial lending. He explains how his team works with over 1,000 lending sources, including private lenders, family offices, and funds, to help investors navigate complex financing scenarios—especially when traditional banks fall short. They discuss the importance of structuring deals creatively, moving fast on off-market opportunities, and the emerging landscape of business acquisitions as a wealth transfer looms.
