Daniel Sloss rolls into Steph Infection still recovering from American bar pours, turns out 5 gin and tonics in the US is not the same as 5 gin and tonics in Scotland, and he has learned this the hard way. Steph and Daniel bond hard over Highland dancing (for real), Scottish country dancing as a pickup culture, having a best bitch at your wedding, and why the Edinburgh Fringe would absolutely lose its mind if Steph showed up. Then it gets real as Daniel walks through both of his kids' births in full detail, including his wife losing 1.5 liters of blood, a stuck placenta, an hour and a half alone with a newborn not knowing if his wife was alive, and his wife shockingly coming back into the room like "let's have two more." He has not forgiven her.

Choose the Hard Way is the show about how hard things build stronger humans who have more fun. — One of my favorite comedians is Johnny Hilbrant Partridge, aka The PE Guy. His comedy operates at the intersection of private equity, hyper-conspicuous consumption, and radical insecurity. He is hilarious, and if you don't know his work, you soon will. — If you want to laugh go to @johnnyhilbrant, if you want to know who Johnny is, you're in the right place. This conversation is about the decade-plus Johnny spent working to become a comedy pro that preceded him blowing up as The PE Guy. We talk about the way life events and the sudden death of his twin sister shaped who he is, what he makes, where he is headed, and more. — A quick personal update. After three rounds of chemo, my cancer treatment took an unexpected turn last week. A PET scan showed we were successfully killing cancer. But my doctors told me it wasn't killing cancer fast enough to cure me. I'm going back to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute for another biopsy later this week and when we get those results back, they'll figure out what my new course of treatment will be. — I'm confident we will cure it, and being in this limbo is scary, for me, and for my family. Whatever the road ahead is, we will get to cured, and I thank you for all of your love and support. — Please hit five stars and subscribe to Choose the Hard Way everywhere you listen. — The media landscape has changed.

We're back from CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas, and we've got stories to tell. This week, Amanda and Trevin recap their trip to Sin City, including our live show with Dating Detectives and Generation WHY, the highs and lows of CrimeCon, Amanda's poolside adventures at Caesars Palace, Trevin's failed quest to visit a dispensary, and an unexpected overnight stay in the wrong airport. Then it's time for some long-overdue criminal updates as we revisit three unforgettable cases from the Live, Laugh, Larceny archives. First, we check in on Justin Timberlake's infamous DUI arrest and the newly released footage of his field sobriety test—the same arrest that nearly "ruined the tour." Next, we return to California's bizarre "Operation Bear Claw" insurance scam, where fraudsters used a person in a bear costume to stage attacks on luxury vehicles in an attempt to collect nearly $142,000 in fraudulent insurance claims. Sentences have finally been handed down, and we're still thinking about that incredible dad-rock soundtrack. Finally, we revisit the Massachusetts woman who attempted to stop an eviction by unleashing a swarm of honeybees on deputies and civilians. Nearly four years later, a jury has reached its verdict. Vegas stories, criminal consequences, and one of the strangest update episodes we've ever done. Cases revisited from the LLL archives:• EP 165: This is Going to Ruin the Tour – Justin Timberlake's DUI Arrest• EP 183: When Squirrels Collide – Operation Bear Claw• EP 84: Buffalo Jills and the Buffalo Who Buffalo – The Bee Eviction Case
In a particularly lively discussion, Ashlee and Robbie discuss the news of the week, including Senator Mike Lee's most recent attempt to sabotage the Wildfire Prevention Act and repeal the Roadless Rule, Colorado's attempts to codify the Right to Hunt and Fish within their state, a plan to lease hundreds of thousands of acres of BLM public land in CO to oil and gas companies, and a recent viral video giving hunters a really bad rep.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a specific and often invisible form of exhaustion that hits first responders after they step into leadership: the burnout that comes not from the calls, the danger, or the physical demands — but from the weight of leading people through all of it while still carrying everything yourself. Promotion feels like a reward. But for many first responders, it quietly becomes one of the heaviest burdens they have ever carried — and nobody warned them it was coming.

In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby open in Acts 8, where a man named Simon watched the Holy Spirit show up in power and immediately reached for his wallet to buy it. The team unpacks how easily we do the same thing in subtler ways, coming to God wanting His gifts more than we want Him. The conversation digs into what genuine faith actually looks like, the difference between seeking God's hand and seeking His face, and why the worst form of idolatry might be using God to get more of your idol.From there it gets personal. Carlos shares the season of singleness that rearranged his heart and taught him to want the Giver more than the gift. James walks through why the Christian life is not just hard without the Holy Spirit, it is impossible, and unpacks the truth that changed everything for him: the Spirit is a person to be known, not a power to be used. If He has felt distant lately, the team offers a reframe on why, and it probably is not what you think. If your prayer life has felt dry or far away, this is the conversation you have been needing.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode GuideThese guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus: https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.To help support this mission and work, visit https://www.mycpcc.com/giveTo learn more about all of our locations or what is coming up at Crosspoint City, check out https://www.crosspointcity.com/ or follow us on your favorite social platform @CrosspointCity

Host Jeff opens the June 17, 2026 episode with a personal and prophetic tone, laying out two central subjects for the broadcast: the UFC Freedom 250 spectacle and the geopolitical consequences of the Iran conflict. He frames much of the episode through a religious lens—inviting listeners to pick between two spiritual paths—and plays the recurring show segment "Word on Word," where two Bible passages are presented and discussed. Jeff also shares a vivid personal anecdote about hearing shofar-like sounds that unsettled his dog and wife as an eerie prelude to the program. The show examines a viral post that cast the UFC event as more than a sporting spectacle—claiming it functioned as a public ceremony under Admiralty Law to restore American sovereignty. Jeff summarizes the post's timeline (from an appeal to return to God on April 18 through a National Prayer Day, a royal visit, Federal Reserve leadership changes, and the UFC event) and weighs which elements contain truth, which are symbolic, and which look staged. He discusses symbolic details listeners flagged—gold-fringed flags, the beehive emblem tied to Masonic imagery, and the Military District of Washington reference during the colors presentation. Jeff breaks down the on-the-ground happenings at the UFC: the rain delay commentators called a miraculous diversion, the viral fighter moment that ended with a controversial claim about Michelle Obama, the alleged Donald Trump Jr. DM controversy with commentator Daniel Cormier, and Joe Rogan's role in handling the mic. He argues the event functioned as a powerful "bread and circus" that rallied patriotic messaging while the political and legal transition narratives circulated in online patriot circles. Switching to foreign policy, Jeff provides a narrative of recent U.S.-Iran kinetic actions beginning February 28, assessing them as part of a larger banking and strategic campaign. He traces military operations that degraded Iran's capabilities, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz during "Operation Freedom," and how U.S. energy and re-industrialization gains factor into the strategic picture. Jeff situates Israel's cooperation, Hezbollah's role, and the wider alignment of Russia, China, India, and Iran within an eschatological framework—arguing the current moves are reshaping alliances and could presage larger conflicts tied to end-times prophecy. Throughout the episode Jeff mixes analysis with pointed cultural and spiritual commentary: criticisms of global elites, references to Noahide laws and Commonwealth legal trends, and concerns about ritualistic abuses and child trafficking. He acknowledges the mixing of genuine legal or geopolitical facts with conspiratorial interpretation and invites listeners to discern truth through faith. The broadcast closes with Jeff announcing a prayer meeting, sharing a personal health update that will affect his schedule, and ending the show with two songs he says complete a narrative begun by the opening track.

Welcome to episode 575 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Jenna Arend. Inside Pinch of Yum's Strategy for Email Growth and Content Distribution with Jenna Arend This week, Bjork sits down with Jenna Arend, General Manager of Pinch of Yum, as part of our ongoing GRO mini-series. In this episode, she shares how Pinch of Yum is navigating the biggest shifts in the digital landscape right now, from the decline of third-party cookies to the rise of AI, and why those changes have pushed the team to double down on email and Facebook as their most reliable channels. Jenna also gets into the strategy behind keeping a long-running food blog relevant and thriving — from improving older content to creating targeted resources like meal plans and freezer meals. She shares how GRO has helped streamline the process of converting social media followers into loyal email subscribers, and why building that direct line of communication with your audience matters more than ever. If you've been thinking about how to future-proof your content strategy, this one is worth a listen! Three episode takeaways: Adapt your strategy as the digital landscape shifts: With changes like the decline of third-party cookies and the rise of AI, relying solely on search traffic is risky. Pinch of Yum has leaned into email and Facebook as more stable, direct channels — and it's paying off. Don't overlook your existing content: Improving older posts can be just as valuable as creating new ones, especially for a long-running blog looking to maintain relevance and traffic in an ever-changing algorithm environment. Make it easy for followers to become subscribers: A clear call to action paired with genuinely helpful resources — like meal plans or freezer meal guides — gives your audience a real reason to join your email list, and tools like GRO can make that conversion process even smoother.

Hi Mamas, Have you ever closed your laptop after a stressful day at work only to find yourself replaying emails, meetings, and conversations long after the workday ended? In today's episode, I'm sharing something that's been weighing heavily on my heart. Work has been stressful lately. At the exact same time, life has been incredibly full in the best possible way. My oldest daughter is graduating high school. We're navigating prom, college orientation, dorm shopping, and preparing for a huge life transition. My middle daughter just turned sixteen. And somehow my youngest is only one month away from becoming a teenager. This season has reminded me of something important:

Robbie is joined by South African outfitter and Helix Program member Ruan of Inkulu Adventures to discuss his 21 years in the hunting industry and the meaning behind building his own safari operation from the conservation standpoint, to the community impact, and beyond. Ruan breaks down the significant costs involved in managing rhinos (security, insurance, fencing, feed, and anti-poaching measures) and explains why regulated rhino hunting provides critical revenue that incentivizes private landowners to maintain and protect rhino populations.

It is not something that represents who you are. You're not a stuck person, but it is a moment of misalignment, and it does mean that we have to get in there like a mechanic would to see what is the actual problem.Lesley Logan 0:14 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:57 All right, Be It babe. As promised, we have a series on what to do when we're stuck. How do we be it till we see it when we are feeling stuck? And I guess the question is to be like, are we saying this like, "I feel stuck right now," or do you have ideas and you have goals, but you're just not taking action steps? Lesley Logan 1:13 To get into the stuckness, we have to kind of just talk about what is being stuck, right? And how often are we calling this out on ourselves? Because if it's just been a few unproductive days, are you actually stuck? Are you overwhelmed? Right? Did you miss a goal, and that's why you're saying you're stuck, or are you stuck because you don't know how to take the next step? And that's perfectly okay. Lesley Logan 1:33 I actually think that sometimes we're stuck because we've done all that we can do on our own, and we need support, and we need help. Are you saying you're stuck because you're comparing yourself to someone else? So the important thing here is you didn't wake up stuck. You might have been labeling yourself as stuck, and I think that we have to identify what kind of stuck are we? The labeled version that we're stuck because we're comparing ourselves to others, or the reality that we've gone as far as we can and we need help, we need to ask for that. Lesley Logan 2:00 So we kind of thought about this because we've had some great questions come in, and we had some great guests and some wonderful talking points, and it's like, okay, I've done all these things, but I'm kind of stuck on this next thing. And so just thought, well, it'd be fun, let's talk about the outgrowing theory. Because sometimes we are working when we have outgrown ourself, and we are taking action to be the next version of ourselves, and we're working on being it until we see it, we can get stuck. I mean, you've evolved, right? You have new awareness, new understandings, new dreams, new ways of how you want to operate the system that is who you are, right? And you are letting go, or trying to, of the person that you once were, and sometimes when we're in that in-between, we get stuck, right? Lesley Logan 2:40 You ever done the update on your phone, and then things don't work the way they were supposed to, and the old way is not really functional either, but the new way you're going like, "Were the buttons moved over here? Hold on, why are the buttons over here now?" Some of them get stuck because we went looking for where the old buttons were, but they're in the new button setting, and so when you're in that stuck place, it can be full frustrating, and I just want you to know you're not alone. I often get stuck in some things. I will just say, "I feel really stuck right now." All of a sudden, my brain goes, "Hold on, are we stuck? We got this." Lesley Logan 3:15 So, what stuck actually is, I think it's important that we talk about what is it. Like an identity lag? Maybe we know where we want to grow and do and be, but we aren't feeling like we're there yet. By the way, I just want you to know, as a habits coach, one of the hardest things you can do is change habits that are psychological. Like if you have a habit of talking negatively about yourself, you don't want to do that anymore. It's really one of the hardest habits to unravel, and so it's not surprising to me that when we are wanting to be a more positive person, or a more joyful person about the things we do, and see more possibility, and ask for more help, because of the things we have to do in our brain to become the new person, it's easy for us to hang back in the old system, in the old ways, and have this identity lag, like, I want to be here, but I'm still feeling I'm over here. Lesley Logan 4:06 We can be stuck because our nervous system is just overwhelmed, right? I think a lot of us take on a lot of things, too much at one time. We have this all-or-nothing mentality in this world that we live in, and so we can actually get stuck because we're overwhelmed. I see this in some of the teachers in my eLevate program. They get stuck on what to do or what to study next, because they're trying to be perfect at all of the things, rather than just being in their body and acknowledging where they're at.Lesley Logan 4:37 We also get stuck when there's just too many options, and we don't have a clarity on what to do. Like, oh my gosh, you could do this, you could do that, you could do that. It's like, "I'm overwhelmed," and so then we feel stuck. Right? I remember we were planning our trip to Europe, we were like, "What do we want to do?" and it's like we have nine days, we could do anything. Europe is big, and I haven't been to so many places, and I could go to this place, or I go to that place. And I was just so overwhelmed that I felt stuck, and we didn't even plan the whole vacation until kind of right before, because we had to just get clear on, okay, hold on, what is it that we want to do? Lesley Logan 5:12 You know, when we were planning our wedding, we got recommended a great book called A Practical Wedding, and she was talking about all these different questions you can ask yourself, so you can really take the overwhelm out of the wedding planning and actually take action on what you're going to do. But a lot of people get stuck in that because there's just too many options. And we can get stuck when our old systems and our old habits just don't work anymore, right? My goodness, the way our bodies work in our 20s versus how in our 40s, ladies, you could be doing the things that used to make you feel good and used to make you feel energized, and now they just don't work anymore, and so you could just feel like you're in a rut. So it's important to take note that stuck is not a personality trait, it is not something that represents who you are, you're not a stuck person, but it is a moment of misalignment, and it does mean that we have to get in there like a mechanic would to see what is the actual problem. And sometimes that means troubleshooting. Lesley Logan 6:10 In your stuckness, when you are stuck, it's important that we also take a moment to see how did we get here. Like a gentle, hold on, how do we get here? Right? Sometimes if you're road tripping and you get a little lost, you think, "Hold on. How did I make a wrong turn?" and backtrack a little bit, right? So, when you are trying to see how did I get here, one thing you cannot do is blame. That is not going to work, I promise you. We talked about that in the outgrowing series. You cannot shame and blame yourself into being unstuck, or it will actually just put you further in stuck rut mode, and you'll actually just feel bad about yourself at the same time. No one wants to do that. Lesley Logan 6:43 So we got to wherever we were because of so many things. One, how you are raised, what you're taught to focus on, what you caught that you should focus on, what you caught that you should behave like. For example, I definitely was rewarded as a child when I would do things that were like above and beyond to support people. So I just would go above and beyond all the time, and I would say yes to things without even asking myself if I want to be doing this, and I would just put myself out there to help people all the time. Because I would help my mom, I would help other people, I would get all these affirmations, words of affirmation, my love language, and I would then get to feel seen. "Oh my gosh, this is Lesley. She does all these amazing things for us," and so then, as an adult, without thinking about how these yeses would make me feel, I would just say yes all the time, right? So I got myself to overwhelm and stuck several times in my adult life because I was doing the things that helped me feel safe and seen as a child. These are things that you don't even realize you're doing. It takes therapy to look back and see, how did I get here? How do I keep working for the same type of person? How do I keep dating the same type of person? How do I keep ending up with friends who are all the same? Right? It's because of how we are making decisions and taking actions, and it's all based on things that were put into our systems, our system updates, when we were growing up. And so really, when you can figure that out, it's really empowering, right? Lesley Logan 8:09 Because of that, when we were children, we optimize for safety, not alignment. As a kid, we don't know what our goals are, right? So we do things that make us feel safe in the environment. So if you grew up in a place where when you were perfect, it felt like you could control the environment, then you would just be perfect all the time. "If I could just be perfect all the time, then no one's gonna yell and nothing's gonna get bad." But then what happens is, you just try to be perfect all the time, and that's exhausting, by the way. It's not in alignment with what you're wanting to do in your life. People are supposed to make mistakes, you're not gonna learn things that way, and of course, you're gonna feel stuck because you're like, "I should be able to do this," but you didn't get to make the mistakes along the way to help you learn how to do it. Lesley Logan 8:46 We also stay in things that work; we stay past expiration dates, right? We stay in them because there's certainty. So we get stuck often because it worked back then, so it's gonna work now, or, "I should be so grateful that I'm in this situation that I'm in. Other people have it worse." So sometimes we just stay because things work. So, if one of those things really goes, "Oh, that's kind of me, that's kind of why I get stuck," it's important that we don't say, "Oh, I've messed up, I messed up my whole life." No, I mean, that is like a thing. My gosh, my brain will catastrophize. Like when I became a Pilates instructor, and I met people who had been teaching Pilates longer because they're the same age as me-ish, but they learned about Pilates before, I remember going, "Oh my god, I've missed out on so many years that I could have been doing Pilates." Because the fact that I discovered Pilates at the age of 22, at the time when it was only four years legal to say the word Pilates, is amazing, and I'm over here going, "I messed up, I should have known about this sooner," right? But we didn't mess up. We built our lives around what worked until they don't work anymore, and now the stuck feeling is just because things in your life don't work anymore. You've outgrown, and you're in the stuck mode because you're in this between, and we have to figure out what's going to work. Lesley Logan 10:11 And I'll never forget, in 2013 I was single, I wasn't couch-surfing anymore. At this point, I'd found the place I wanted to live, I was transferred, given more responsibility, blah blah blah, and somebody suggested that I do this birth chart, I don't know, futuristic, not psychic thing, because it's based on birth charts, but just get some astrological help. So I did this, and the person was like, "You have gone as far as you can on your own." And I was like, "What?" He's like, "Yep, you've actually done a great job, you've gone as far as you can on your own, and all the things that you are wanting to do in this life, you must do with other people." And that is something, by the way, I am not a person who asks for help. I just can do it all on my own, I've done it all on my own, I've moved myself multiple times in my life by myself. I can do it, right? But hearing that, I was like, "Oh, okay. So I built this life that has worked for me, and if I want to continue on, I'm going to need to get some help." And you know what? He wasn't wrong. Because here I had got a new place, decorated really beautifully, got promoted at my job and all this stuff, and I still felt like something is missing. It's missing, and so I started seeking out and looking for opportunities to partner up with different people, not necessarily in business, but just on projects and, oh, maybe I could hire that person to help me, right? Lesley Logan 10:12 Okay, so I do think before we continue on the stuck thing, we do have to chat a little bit about ADHD, right? We do need to talk a little bit about ADHD, and the reason is, my ADHD loves, we sometimes equate being stuck with just not having the dopamine high that we're constantly seeking. Okay, so as ADHD people, we often say yes to 17 things, because our brains think a mile a minute. We're three steps ahead of everybody, and we can take it all on, and also we like the dopamine highs. And what happens is, especially if you're in your 40s and you didn't know you had ADHD, at some point your systems no longer work. And not only as you go through perimenopause do you lose your hormone help there, but you already were lacking that in your ADHD brain, and so now you feel a little bit stuck and overwhelmed because your systems aren't working, and you said yes to a lot, and the systems that used to help you don't work. So we have to be thoughtful and kind to ourselves.Lesley Logan 10:12 If you are someone who's listening with ADHD, I highly recommend getting some help to understand how your brain works so that you can not only get unstuck and ditch the overwhelm, but truly learn how to work with it. It's not like me versus my ADHD brain at all, but it's like, okay, hold on, I know in order for me to do these things, I need these tools, so I need to set myself up for success. And I'll never forget, my psychiatrist said, "I can give you the drugs to help you focus, but if you keep saying yes to too many things, the drugs won't help. It's a you problem." And I really think that if you are feeling stuck right now because you're doing too many things, because your ADHD brain is like, "Yeah, I want that, and I want that, I want that dopamine hit, that dopamine hit," we need to find ways to pause or delete or delegate or delay some of the things that we're working on, and just be honest about that. Because your brain isn't broken; it's just overstimulated and undersupported, right? So we need tools. So if you're stuck because of ADHD, I see you. We'll get some experts on here, but also do take a moment to recognize what is the ADHD versus what is stuckness versus what is overwhelm, so that you're not labeling things that are inaccurate and then feeling more stuck because you don't have the tools to work because we got mislabeled, right?Lesley Logan 11:21 Okay, last thing I just want to say is I think if you are an oldest daughter who is listening to this, right, firstborn of anything, there is a tendency to do a lot and should on ourselves, like, "I should be doing more of this," or, "I used to be more productive, what is wrong with me that I can't do this anymore?" And I will just say that, one, we're not the person that we were 20 years ago, so yeah, I cannot take on the things that I did 20 years ago. Also, because I know better, I know what I am capable of, I know what I'm good at, I know more of what I want, I know more of what I don't want, and so please don't should on yourself—because we had Rory on our podcast and he said it makes you a should-head, right? So, you want to make sure that you are not stuck because of the extra pressure that you're putting on yourself. Life is hard enough, there's enough pressures. And while you used to be more productive, that doesn't mean you have to stay at that production level. We don't expect people who are older than us to produce at the same level that they did when they were 20. We're like, "Oh my god, you're retired, go be retired." That's the same for you. So, double-checking, are you stuck or overwhelmed because you're putting too much pressure on yourself about what you actually can handle at this moment? Lesley Logan 15:31 You know, do you have a schedule or tools? I mean, we live in a tech age, there's a lot of ways that we can get reminders and prompts, or get help. I mean, my goodness, if you're like, "I just wish I was a better cook," ChatGPT is actually fucking great for recipes. I'm not gonna lie, I don't cook, but Brad gets some good ones on there. So, if you're thinking that pressure creates movement, it doesn't. My ADHD people, I know that pressure—last-minute pressure, that procrastination—gets you feeling like, "I finally have the pressure I need to get going," but for a lot of us it actually just creates paralysis. That pressure just causes us to just, there's too much, I don't know what to do right now, and so you know, yeah, if you know how to use your pressure to get your work done, great, but if it's actually making you feel stuck, well, then it's no longer a good tool for us. Lesley Logan 16:25 So we're going to talk about stuck in our next episode, which is like, okay, how do we realign? Do we need motivation? Like, how do we actually get unstuck? We're going to do that, but before we do that, I just want to say, what if you're not stuck? What if you're just recalibrating? What if you are in process, and because you're in process, it requires unraveling of things that no longer work and testing things that will? You're not going to always get it right, so you might be like, "I no longer want to use this tool, do this thing, it's going to be this tool," and that tool doesn't work. You're like, "Well, now I'm stuck." No, you actually have information: this tool doesn't work. Why doesn't it work? That's information. And then you can find a new tool. "Oh, this tool, I like this, but not that." It's just information, so you're not stuck, you're recalibrating. You're not behind, you are in an update, right? You're not actually going backwards. When we're stuck, we think, "Oh my god, now I'm going backward." No, you're not. You're actually trying to figure out how do I take the next step forward, right? You ever been on a mountain on a hike, and you get to a place and you're like, "Wait a minute, do I go left or right? Do I go right?" Do you say, "I'm stuck?" No, you're like, "Hold on, let me check the map. Oh, I go this way. Okay, that's the right way." So, you're not stuck, you're not behind, you're in an update. And because you're not stuck, because this is a moment of misalignment or transition, then the real question does become like, how do we get unstuck? How do we move forward? Lesley Logan 17:58 And that's what we're talking about in the next episode, because a lot of people mistake that they're waiting for the motivation to get unstuck to help them, and as we talked about in our habit series, motivation, can't be motivation, cannot be, doesn't work that way. So, my loves, I'm super excited for this series. I hope it was really helpful. I'd love to hear what you're currently stuck on, because I can get a guest to help with that. Maybe you're stuck on tools and systems that could help you. Maybe you're stuck on a thought or an emotion or an experience, right? We'd love to hear from you.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever looked around at your life and thought, "Nothing is technically wrong... so why do I feel so disconnected from it?"That is exactly what we're diving into this week with speaker, coach, and author Iona Holloway.Iona's new book, Do the Brave Thing, starts with a question that hit me right between the eyes: What happens when you've done everything right, collected all the gold stars, built the life that looks impressive on paper... and still feel dead inside?In this conversation, Iona shares the rock bottom moment that forced her to confront a life built on perfectionism, achievement, and invisible suffering. We talk about the pressure so many women carry to be strong, capable, and endlessly high-functioning, and why those qualities can sometimes become the very thing keeping us stuck.One of my favorite parts of our conversation was Iona's distinction between being strong and being brave. Strength can look like gritting your teeth and carrying more than you should. Bravery asks something different. It asks you to listen to yourself, tell the truth about what you want, and tolerate the discomfort that comes with change.We also explored how fear disguises itself as practicality, perfectionism, procrastination, and even the stories we tell ourselves about why we're the exception. The woman who can't. The one for whom it's harder. The one who should wait until she's ready.Spoiler alert: ready is not coming.Iona shared her powerful "5 and 95 Rule," the idea that a brave life is one that makes five-year-old you happy and ninety-five-year-old you proud. It is simple, memorable, and honestly one of those ideas that lingers long after the conversation ends.If you've been quietly wondering whether there's more available to you than simply being impressive, this episode is your reminder that feeling alive matters too.What's Inside:Why being impressive and feeling alive are not the same thingThe difference between being strong and being braveHow fear hides inside perfectionism, procrastination, and practicalityIona's "5 and 95 Rule" for making braver decisionsThe thing I keep coming back to from this conversation is that bravery rarely looks cool. Most of the time it looks awkward, uncertain, and wildly uncomfortable. What's one brave thing you've been avoiding lately? DM me on Instagram…I'd genuinely love to hear your answer.

What if your burnout isn't just a scheduling problem — what if it's an energy problem? In this powerful episode, we explore why emotional healing is the missing piece in most nurse leader recovery plans. Drawing from Scripture, quantum physics, and the bioresonance technology behind WholeBio Insights, Shan reveals how unresolved emotions are stored in the body as disrupted frequencies — and why you can't think your way out of what your nervous system is holding. Joined by Aligned leadership coach, Kassandra Hamilton, this episode takes you inside a real burnout story and the emotional work that made recovery possible. If you've tried all the strategies and still feel depleted, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do about it. What You'll Learn in This Episode This episode is for you if you've been asking why rest isn't enough, why strategies aren't sticking, or why you still feel empty even when things look okay on the outside. Here's what we cover: Why burnout is fundamentally an energy problem — and what the Bible has always said about it The Hebrew meaning of Shalom and why it's actually a description of energetic wholeness What Proverbs 17:22 reveals about the body-emotion-health connection (that science is just now catching up to) How Mark Virkler's "Prayers that Heal the Heart" framework reframes emotional healing as a clinical necessity, not just spiritual work What quantum physics' Observer Effect has to do with your burnout recovery Why emotion is literally "energy in motion" — and what happens when you suppress it How bioresonance technology (WholeBio Insights™) reads the body's frequencies to reveal emotional disruption before symptoms become diagnosable Kassandra Hamilton's honest account of what burnout looked and felt like as a leader — and what it actually took to heal About Our Guest: Kassandra Hamilton Leadership & Alignment Coach, Best-Selling Author, Facilitator, Bioenergy & Sound Healer, and quality improvement specialist in the healthcare field. What I do: I align high achieving women with a life that feels as good on the inside as it does on the outside. Think More energy, time freedom, less stress.

It is an energy problem. And you cannot fix an energy problem with a schedule change." "Management and healing are not the same thing. You can manage your emotions your whole life and still be running on frequencies of unresolved fear and grief that are quietly depleting you." "The word emotion is energy in motion. When we suppress emotion, we stop that energy in its tracks — and stored emotional energy creates disruption in the body's field."

Leave a text or voice message so we can respondYou know the relationship was unhealthy. You know they hurt you. You know you deserve better. So why do you still care?If you've ever found yourself thinking about a toxic ex, missing someone who treated you poorly, or feeling confused about why you're not "over it" yet, this episode is for you.In this episode, we're exploring one of the most frustrating parts of healing after emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, toxic relationships, and heartbreak: caring about someone you know wasn't good for you. We'll talk about why caring doesn't mean you should go back, why it doesn't mean you made the wrong decision, and why these feelings can continue long after you've gained clarity about what happened.You'll learn: Why you still miss someone who hurt you The difference between love, attachment, "trauma bonds," and more Why your nervous system craves familiarity, even when it's unhealthy How hope, potential, and fantasy can keep you emotionally attached The hidden thing that keeps many women stuck What it actually looks like to heal after a toxic relationship If you've been searching for answers about why you still love your ex, why you can't stop thinking about them, why healing feels so difficult, or why part of you still cares despite everything that happened, this episode will help you understand what's really going on beneath the surface.Healing isn't about pretending you never cared. It's about understanding why you cared, what you're truly attached to, and learning how to choose yourself without carrying shame for the feelings that remain.

I've helped nonprofit CEOs raise $95 million in major gifts in the last 7 years. Click here to book your 1-hour private call now. Stop treating summer like a fundraising break.The nonprofits that have a calm, confident September are not scrambling to reconnect with donors. They spent June, July, and August building relationships.In this final episode of Season 8, I explain why summer stewardship is one of the most overlooked opportunities in major gifts fundraising. While many organizations focus on events, planning, or internal projects, the strongest fundraisers are staying close to their top donors.The truth is simple: the work you do this summer determines how your year ends. If you want bigger gifts, more unrestricted revenue, and stronger donor partnerships, now is the time to invest in relationships.What you'll learn in this episodeWhy summer is one of the most important seasons for major gifts fundraisingHow donor relationships built in June, July, and August impact year-end resultsThe mistake many nonprofits make after a busy spring fundraising seasonWhy consistent communication creates trust and leads to larger giftsHow to stay connected with donors without feeling transactionalWhat true donor partnerships look like beyond writing a checkWhy unrestricted revenue grows when trust growsHow strong stewardship helps donors feel connected to your missionThe difference between taking donors for granted and intentionally investing in relationshipsHow to create a more peaceful, successful end-of-year fundraising seasonAt the end of the day, major gifts are not built in November and December. They're built months earlier through trust, communication, and consistent relationship-building. Summer stewardship isn't extra work. It's the work.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

Laurie opens this episode mid-story -- crossing a street, spotting someone she admires, and doing what she's done her whole life: looking away.What follows is one of the most personal episodes she's recorded. It's the story of her relationship with Ellen Yin — media company founder, host of the Cubicle to CEO podcast, keynote speaker, and one of the most gracious humans Laurie has encountered in six years of building this business. Across four years and four distinct moments, Laurie traces the evolution from moving chicken around a plate at a lunch table to waking up to a DM that said: Laurie, I adore you.But this episode isn't really about Ellen. It's about the conditioning that makes high-achieving women invisible to themselves -- and what it actually looks like to start unlearning it. At 54. After years of doing this work. Still.The theme woven through this year's Craft + Commerce conference: shoot your shot. Be delusionally confident. Stop being the first person to tell yourself no.This episode is Laurie's honest reckoning with all of it.What we coverThe cold open: crossing the street, recognizing Ellen Yin, and the instinct to look away — and what that one moment reveals about a lifetime of habitsWhat happened at the lunch table four years ago — the salad, the chicken, the over-explaining, and the classic nervous deflection of proving how much you know when what you're actually feeling is: do I even deserve to be here?The DM that changed everything: how Laurie shot her shot, flew to Oregon, drove 90 minutes in commuter traffic, and spent an extraordinary day learning from someone she admiredThe crosswalk moment — last year's Craft + Commerce — and why she looked away when she could have made the connection herselfThis year's conference: walking into the breakout room, the hug, the lit-up face, and what it felt like to be seen by someone she'd assumed was too important, too busy, too far above her to see herWhy the tech not working in the room didn't matter — and the Maya Angelou quote that's been living in Laurie's head ever sinceGetting in the photo line — the internal negotiation of "why not me?" — and waking up to Laurie, I adore youLittle Laurie: the conditioning, the beliefs, the habits that were formed so long ago she didn't know she was still running them"I just stopped being the first person to tell myself no" — the keynote line that reframes everythingThe three micro-shots from this year's conference: asking for the free signed book, getting the photo with Ellen, joining a lunch group that felt out of her leagueWhy it's not the ask that's the problem — it's the belief we've attached to the askFour takeaways for shooting your shot, being seen, and doing this work for as long as it takesThe four takeaways1. The look-away is a habit, not a truth. When you feel the impulse to make yourself smaller, to assume someone is too important to see you, to talk yourself out of making the ask — that is old conditioning running a very old program. You can notice it. You don't have to keep obeying it.2. Shooting your shot is a skill — and it gets easier. Not because the fear goes away, but because you build evidence. The ask doesn't kill you. The worst thing people can say is no — and no is not a rejection of you. It means not right now. You keep asking. At some point, they say yes.3. The gift of being seen starts with letting yourself be visible. Ellen couldn't have touched Laurie's arm at the crosswalk if Laurie had walked the other way. Every time we make ourselves invisible, we rob someone else of the chance to surprise us.4. We are never done with this work. At 54. After years of coaching herself and others. Laurie still looked away at the crosswalk last year. Still moved the chicken around the plate four years ago. The difference isn't that the impulse is gone. It's that she notices it faster — and sometimes, not always but more often, does the thing anyway. That's the work. That's all this is.Quotable moments"She made the connection when I wasn't going to do it myself.""I just stopped being the first person to tell myself no.""Being delusionally confident doesn't mean you don't feel the fear. It means you make the ask anyway -- and you let other people decide whether to say yes.""It's not the ask that's the problem. It's the belief we attach to the ask.""Every time we make ourselves invisible, we rob someone else of the chance to surprise us.""The difference between now and four years ago isn't that I've eliminated the impulse. It's that I notice it faster. And sometimes I do the thing anyway.""You shouldn't have to shoot your shot alone.""People will forget what you said. They will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel." — Maya Angelou"Go make someone feel something this week. Might as well start with yourself."People + resources mentionedEllen Yin — founder of Ellen Yin Media, host of the Cubicle to CEO podcast Craft + Commerce Conference — annual creator conference hosted by Kit in Boise, IdahoKit — Laurie's new email service provider (formerly ConvertKit) James Clear — author of Atomic Habits (30 million copies sold)Maya Angelou — "People will forget what you said. They will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel."BEST LIFE MastermindEverything in this episode -- the looking away, the over-explaining, the belief that someone else's question matters more than yours, the feeling that you're not worth remembering -- is exactly the work we do inside the BEST LIFE Mastermind. Not in theory. In practice. With ten women who will see you when you want to make yourself invisible. Who will nudge your arm at the crosswalk when you're about to look away.→ Apply now → Book a 15-minute call with Laurie Retreat 1 — Sun Valley, Idaho · September 1–4, 2026 Retreat 2 — Civana Wellness Resort + Spa · Carefree, Arizona · February 23–26, 2027If this episode made you think of someone who needs to hear it , please send it to them.

Welcome to the very first episode of Two Girls, One Spiral.After four years of Am I Ovary Acting, we're rebranding ourselves as the Taylor Swift's of the podcast world by entering a new era. Same hosts, still very much oversharing, and the same inability to leave any thought alone, but a slightly bigger space to talk about all the things that make us laugh, cry, rage and importantly: spiral.This week we're asking an important question: are women actually overthinking everything, or are we just carrying the responsibility of well, everything? From analysing text messages and replaying conversations to the emotional load of friendships, relationships and modern life, we're chatting about why so many of us seem physically incapable of simply letting things go.Plus, our very first listener spiral: a woman whose reaction to a bereavement still haunts her to this day.If you've ever convinced yourself somebody hates you because they replied "thanks" instead of "thank you", then this is for you gal!To send us your spirals, dilemmas, unpopular opinions or voice notes, email twogirlsonespiralpodcast@gmail.com or DM us at @twogirlsonespiralpodcastNew episodes every Tuesday.YOUR HOSTSAmber IzzoAnnabel GammackFollow us on socials: @twogirlsonespiralpodcast Hosted on Acast.

If you've been waiting to feel confident before you do the thing — post the offer, raise the price, send the pitch, go visible. This episode is going to reframe everything. Confidence isn't a feeling you wake up with. It's not a personality trait. It's not something the women you admire have access to and you somehow don't. It's a reputation you build with yourself in private, one kept promise at a time. In this episode, I unpack why most ambitious women are quietly damaging that reputation without realizing it, the five subtle ways it happens, and the small practice that rebuilds it starting this week.What You'll HearWhy "waiting to feel confident" is the wrong strategyThe confidence lie — and what the women you think are fearless are actually doing differentlyThe reframe: confidence is a reputation you build with yourself in privateYour nervous system is keeping a ledger — how every kept and broken promise gets filedQuiet wins — why reputation isn't built in cinematic momentsThe five ways you're quietly damaging your reputation with yourself (the uncomfortable middle of the episode)The rebuild — two rules for starting todayYour one-promise practice for this weekGo keep a promiseOne Line to Sit With"You don't need to become more confident. You need to become a woman whose word means something to herself."Your Invitation This WeekPick ONE small promise. So small it feels embarrassing. I'll drink water before coffee. I'll close my laptop by 7pm. I'll send one outreach DM a day. Keep it for five days. Notice how you feel about yourself by day five. That's the work.Clip-Worthy Moments"You don't have a confidence problem. You have a reputation problem with yourself.""Confidence is a reputation you build with yourself in private.""The women you think are confident aren't fearless. They've just stopped using fear as a reason to abandon themselves.""Self-trust isn't built in the breakthrough. It's built in the quiet wins.""Your nervous system is keeping a ledger. Every kept promise is a deposit.""Every time you gaslight yourself to keep the peace, you fracture your relationship with reality.""The woman you're becoming is shaped by what you do when nobody's clapping."Want to Go Deeper?DM me the word PROOF on Instagram and tell me the one promise you're going to start keeping this week.

After spending years building unvalidated products that went nowhere, Tibo Louis-Lucas completely changed how he approached startups. In this episode of the ProductLed Podcast, he shares how those early failures pushed him toward a faster, revenue-first way of building, one that eventually led to the success of Tweet Hunter and Taplio, and now powers a growing portfolio of product-led SaaS businesses. Tibo breaks down why revenue is the only validation that really matters, how Tweet Hunter stood out in a crowded market by going deep on a single platform, and the unusual distribution playbook that helped it take off. That included giving a major profit share to a creator-partner and building a network of “creative investors” who amplified the product from day one. The conversation also dives into why selling a company was far less glamorous than it sounds, and why Tibo now prefers building and holding long term. He shares how he thinks about creating an “indie hacker stack” for a specific persona, how AI has changed his day-to-day workflow, and why he now spends less time coding and more time reviewing, iterating, and building systems. One of the biggest takeaways is his operating style: no calls, fast feedback loops through DMs, and a strong focus on staying close to paying users. For founders building product-led companies, this episode is packed with practical lessons on validation, distribution, focus, and building with speed in the AI era. Key Highlights: 02:21 - Why Two Failed Startups Changed EverythingTibo shares the painful lesson of spending years on unvalidated ideas, and how that pushed him to become relentlessly validation-driven.05:38 - Revenue Is the Only Validation That CountsWhy free users can be misleading, how Tibo evaluates startup ideas today, and what made Tweet Hunter feel different almost immediately.09:47 - How Tweet Hunter Won a Crowded MarketThe strategy behind focusing on one platform deeply, serving creators instead of enterprises, and building something clearly better for a narrower use case.12:11 - The Distribution Deal That Fueled GrowthHow Tibo partnered with influencers using profit share and exit incentives, and why aligning distribution with the product was such a powerful lever.15:25 - The Creative Investors Growth EngineWhy he gave small ownership stakes to 17 creators, how that amplified launches and updates, and what made the model work.19:31 - Why Selling Wasn't the Dream OutcomeTibo opens up about the pressure of earnouts, platform risk, and why the acquisition experience made him want to build and hold instead.23:46 - Building an Indie Hacker Software StackWhy Tibo organizes his portfolio around a specific persona instead of a single vertical, and how he thinks about expanding from five products to more.34:54 - No Calls, More DMs, Better FeedbackA look at his no-meeting policy, why DM-based customer conversations work so well for him, and how staying close to users improves product decisions.37:18 - How AI Changed the Way He BuildsTibo explains how AI emptied his backlog, turned him into a QA-first builder, and created a new challenge: resisting feature creep.
