“What am I to charge this much?” “Who do I think I am?” “No one is going to pay for this!” Many women business owners have had the same doubts — and these doubts can stop us from realising the success that we want. The hidden emotions behind our pricing strategy need to be addressed – because they do nothing but keep you stuck and prevent your ideal clients from receiving the transformation you offer. In this episode, we are talking about why your pricing isn't the actual problem, how to uncover and manage the emotions that are influencing your decisions, and the pricing mistakes that most people make – that YOU can avoid. Here's What You'll Learn in the Episode: -> Why competitor-based pricing and following the market can keep you stuck and undervalued (even though it's what we're “taught” to do!) -> The 2 BIGGEST pricing mistakes I see women business owners making over and over again -> How fear and guilt can disguise themselves as other, more logical or compassionate emotions -> The clear signs that it is time to raise your prices (if you've clicked on this episode, it's likely past time ) -> How to build a ladder of access for your ideal clients (and how to serve more people without undercharging) -> The 7 steps to building a healthier, more confident relationship with your pricing and finances -> How to move from “Will they pay this??” to “Will the right people see this?” -> And so, so much more.

What if the “therapist” you're pouring your heart out to… isn't a therapist at all? In this jaw-dropping episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast, I'm joined by investigative journalists Rebecca Ruiz and Lauren Krause to expose the shocking truth behind Seven Cups Therapy and the dark world of therapy fraud—including unlicensed “helpers,” fake reviews, and predatory chatrooms masquerading as support. This isn't just about bad advice or unqualified "virtual counselors." It's about real people being misled, emotionally exploited, and sometimes even preyed upon while they're at their most vulnerable. We dive into how this happens, how to protect yourself (or someone you care about), and how to tell the difference between a real therapist and a clever imposter. If you've ever Googled "online therapy" late at night and clicked on what looked like a trustworthy, affordable platform, you NEED to hear this.

In this weekend's special edition of Viral Mindfulness, Alexander Blue Feather invites you to step behind the velvet curtain into the sacred glow of Broadway. As CNN broadcasts George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck" live from the Winter Garden Theatre and the 2025 Tony Awards light up the stage, Alexander reflects on the electric drama—both on and off stage. From Audra McDonald and Nicole Scherzinger's showdown to Megan Hilty's triumphant return, this episode is a love letter to the theater. A temple of truth and belonging. You'll hear personal stories from Alexander's first Broadway pilgrimage in 1998, complete with tap shoes, playbills, and spiritual awakening in the balcony's glow. It's a celebration of queer joy, memory, grief, and resurrection, told with sparkle and soul.
On this week's episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we kick things off with the glorious meltdown of two of our least favorite Bond villains: Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Not only is their public pissing match tanking Tesla's market cap, but now Trump's launching a crypto wallet to… fund freedom? Or at least funnel it straight to his latest shell game. Meanwhile, someone at DOGE admitted the U.S. government wasn't entirely incompetent, so naturally, they got fired. Efficiency is un-American, after all.In the news, Ukraine leveled up with an unprecedented drone blitz on Russian airbases using—you guessed it—open source software. GitHub just became a geopolitical weapon. Back home, Nebraska wants to unplug your kids, Florida's trying (and failing) to legislate dopamine, and Tesla's panicking that their crash data might expose how their “Full Self-Driving” is really just short bus autopilot. And because the AI dystopia train never stops: OpenAI's bot is recommending meth to recovering addicts, Meta's replacing humans with risk-assessing algorithms, and one “AI startup” turned out to be 700 dudes in Bangalore with a decent VPN. Cue the dramatic zoom on Diabolus Ex Machina.Media Candy this week is a buffet: Downton Abbey finally closes up shop, Stranger Things 5 sets a date, and Foundation still sucks. Marc Maron's locking the gates for good, Garbage drops a surprisingly optimistic album, and Hollywood's quietly been using AI like it's a studio intern who doesn't need sleep. Over in The Library, Jason's back with Hitchhiker's Guide and Brian dives in to Michael Palin's Python diaries—because reading actual books is still a thing, damn it. Plus: Dave Bittner wants to “go antiquing” with Amy Sedaris with a Ben Franklin playbook. Closing shout-outs go to the legendary Loretta Swit—Hot Lips forever—and yes, we finally answer the question nobody asked: what is under a Jawa's hood?Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

The curtain is finally being pulled back to the reality of President Biden's illnesses while serving as President. So why talk about it now? It's been the major cover up for the past four years. When you break it all down it reveals an even bigger picture of how Congress is crippled by the two party system. The government and media have trapped themselves. So what do we do now?

The Bible has a lot to say about God and his attributes, and it's easy to understand how some of these passages can be interpreted to paint God into an image similar to that of Oz. But is that accurate? Just as Dorothy and her friends learned the truth about Oz when they pulled back the curtain and had a face to face conversation with him, I think if we dig in and pull back the curtain a bit today, a better understanding of God's character will be revealed. The post 648- The God Behind the Curtain appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.

In today's explosive full broadcast, Tara delivers an unflinching exposé on the chaos gripping both Washington and the world stage. From Governor Ron DeSantis' groundbreaking move to recognize gold and silver as legal tender in Florida—calling out feckless GOP leadership in the process—to the shocking revelations surrounding Elon Musk's Doge initiative and a trillion-dollar fraud hidden deep inside the U.S. Treasury, no stone is left unturned. Listeners are taken further behind the curtain as Tara breaks down the geopolitical powder keg in Ukraine. With former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter warning that recent Western-assisted drone strikes targeting Vladimir Putin could meet the threshold for nuclear retaliation under Russian doctrine, the stakes have never been higher. And in a segment that's as disturbing as it is revealing, the South African president defends chants to "kill the boer," downplaying decades of brutal violence against white farmers—all while the media stays silent. Mix in Trump's stunning unawareness of critical global events, listener call-ins, hard-hitting texts, and the return of the call-in segment, and you've got a broadcast that doesn't just inform—it shakes. This isn't commentary. It's a reckoning.

If you need answers about your past life, we're here to help. As we gaze into the swirling mists of the unknown, we're seeing you. Not "you," but rather a past you. You're wearing a funny hat and white stockings. You're Henry Picklethorpe Wigglesworth IV, the Viscount of Golden Balls, Oxfordshire. Your estate, Hairy-Knob-upon-Fanny-Bottom, was famous for its 27 chimneys, haunted marmalade cellar, and the location of the only documented UK marriage between a man and a swan. You routinely bathed in earl grey tea and while loathed by most of the village, you were beloved by the local cabbage farmers due to your penchant for drunken cabbage copulation in the town square. Your current life is still echoing with aristocratic absurdity, so go forth knowing that whatever happens to you in this life, it'll never be quite as embarrassing as humping a cabbage under a full moon after drinking three bottles of absinthe.
