What to do when leadership asks for accounts that don't match the data.

“We often focus on our goals, but rarely on the support systems that make those goals possible.” —Ciara KyokoThis episode is your invitation to explore creativity through support, community, and self-awareness. I'm joined by Ciara Kiyoko, Human Design guide, community builder, and founder of Kiyoko Verde. She works with entrepreneurs to help them understand their natural way of creating and build businesses that feel aligned and supportive.Ciara shares how her work blends Human Design and subconscious practices to help people move out of pressure and into creative flow. What began as her own journey out of the corporate world became a deeper exploration of what it actually means to feel supported while building something of your own.We talk about the role of community in creativity and how entrepreneurship can often feel like an echo chamber. Ciara shares how creating intentional spaces for connection, like her business circles, can shift not only how we create, but how we see what's possible.We also explore creative blocks through the lens of Human Design, and how environment, energy, and support systems all play a role in unlocking ideas. From working in a café to traveling to new places, sometimes the shift is in changing the conditions around you.Whether you're building a business, navigating a creative block, or simply looking for a more supportive way to create, this episode is a reminder that creativity doesn't happen in isolation (as much as we think it does). It's shaped by the systems, spaces, and community that holds you.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform while you cook, clean, or create.

Before I ever went out on my own, I spent years working for other people in this industry — and those years taught me lessons that shaped everything about the way I run my business today.In this episode of Good Skin Circle, I'm sharing the three biggest things I learned before starting Ageless Ashley: the marketing strategies I knew I never wanted to use, why hiring professionals for finances is essential as a business owner, and how working under someone else allowed me to develop the specialized skillset that now attracts my Golden Clients.If you're an aesthetician thinking about going solo, this episode offers a perspective on why the apprenticeship phase of your career can be one of the most valuable.In this episode:• The marketing approaches I refused to adopt early in my career • Why financial clarity requires professional bookkeeping and tax support • How specialization in the treatment room builds authority and trust • The philosophy behind attracting Golden ClientsPrivate Hands-On Advanced Facial Training & Virtual Mentorship June 14th 2026 Slow Flow & Sculpt 1 Day Workshop in Orange County, CA // Registration Closes May 15th 2026 2-Day Intensive Golden Touch Workshop Application Workshop & Retreat Waitlist Free Golden Experience Guide Monthly Publication

Last week, I was hit by a car. In the weeks leading up to co-hosting a retreat, I was quietly battling imposter syndrome — questioning my capacity to hold big space for women stepping into their own expansion. Then life knocked me to the pavement.

What does it really take to build a thriving massage and facial practice — without chasing trends, aesthetics, or overnight success?In this episode of Good Skin Circle, Ashley sits down with Lorena Sanchez, a dual licensed massage therapist and aesthetician based in San Francisco, to talk about the long game: embodiment, authenticity, community trust, and confidence built over time.Lorena shares how she grew her practice through local moms' groups, word-of-mouth, and showing up as a real human — not a polished brand. They talk about starting small, expanding intentionally, healing self-worth through inner work, hypnotherapy and why advanced education changes how you trust your hands.This conversation is for practitioners who feel behind, don't fit the mold, or are quietly building something meaningful.Slow growth. Real success. Careers that last.
Hey Friend, If you've been hitting a wall by mid-afternoon… craving sugar even though you're “eating well”… or feeling like weight loss just won't respond anymore— this episode was for you. In today's conversation, I slowed things down and walked through blood sugar stability—what it actually is, why it matters more than calories after 35, and why your body may not be working against you at all. In fact, it may be doing exactly what God designed it to do: protect you. Here's what we covered: What blood sugar stability really means (and what it doesn't) Why blood sugar is a communication system, not a standalone issue How stress, cortisol, hormones, and the nervous system are affected by unstable blood sugar Common signs your blood sugar may be swinging—without needing fancy testing Why weight gain after 35 isn't punishment, but feedback The role of consistent nourishment and protein in calming cravings and stabilizing energy Why this is a long-term stewardship issue, not a quick fix One of the most important reminders from this episode is this: Your body isn't broken. It's responding. When blood sugar swings up and down, your body compensates by raising cortisol, increasing fat storage, and staying on high alert. That's not failure—that's a safety response. And the good news? Communication can be supported. Patterns can change. Health can be restored—slowly and sustainably. Your next step (keep it simple): I've created a Simple Blood Sugar Foundations Guide to help you understand what your body is asking for without dieting, tracking, or overwhelm. This guide is available inside my membership, The Women's Functional Health Lab. The Lab opens February 13th, and waitlist members receive early access and bonuses (the price does not change). If this episode resonated, I strongly encourage you to get on the waitlist so you don't miss those extras. And remember—you don't need to fix everything. You just need to start with the next right step. In grace + health, Lacy Lain Before you go…

Hey friend, As part of our January 2026 Reset, I'm revisiting some of the most foundational and impactful episodes from Functional Medicine for Christian Women. This episode is one I still come back to often—because it speaks directly to the women who feel like they've tried everything and are still stuck. If you're dealing with ongoing fatigue, hormone symptoms, anxiety, inflammation, or unexplained health issues—and you keep hearing that your labs look “normal”—this conversation is for you. In this episode, I walk you through why so many women stay caught in cycles of exhaustion and imbalance, even when they're doing all the “right” things. We talk about the hidden disruptors that are often overlooked, including: Chronic inflammation Stress and nervous system overload Environmental and internal toxin load Blood sugar and metabolic imbalance More importantly, I explain how a functional health approach helps us step back, look at patterns, and start addressing root causes instead of chasing symptoms. This episode also introduces the framework I've used for years to help women move from survival mode into steadier energy, clearer thinking, and long-term health. While the structure of my work has evolved, the foundation remains the same: your body is not broken—it's responding. As you listen, I encourage you to do this one thing: Don't rush to fix. Listen for what resonates. Notice what brings relief or clarity. That awareness is often the first step toward real change. What's Next

Most people think an “optimized” LinkedIn profile means:• A good headline• A solid About section• A decent profile photoThose things matter.But they are not what actually moves people to trust you or take action.In this training, I break down the three most overlooked pieces of an optimized LinkedIn profile that quietly do the heavy lifting for you.1. Your background banner- This is prime real estate.- It should instantly tell someone:- Who you help, what problem you solve, and why they should keep reading.If your banner is generic, decorative, or empty, you're leaving authority on the table.2. Your featured content sectionThis is not a place for random links.- It should function like a conversion hub:- A resource, guide, newsletter, or next step that helps someone move from interest to action without a sales pitch.This section works for you 24/7 when it's intentional.3. LinkedIn recommendationsSocial proof is not optional.- Recommendations tell your story from someone else's mouth.- They remove doubt, build credibility, and validate your expertise in a way no About section ever could.When these three pieces are aligned, your profile stops being a resume and starts working like a business asset.If your profile gets views but not conversations, these are usually the missing pieces.Don't forget to register for our Amateur to Expert 5 Day Workshop here: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/AtoEonLinkedinWorkshop
Your intuition doesn't stop speaking when you ignore it. It just whispers… until the cost shows up elsewhere.In this episode, Ashley explores why intuition is the foundation of ethics, boundaries, energy, and burnout, and what really happens when we override our inner knowing for pressure, opportunity, or approval.You'll hear about:The hidden energetic cost of ignoring intuitive signalsWhy burnout often begins long before you feel “overworked”How your body knows the truth before your mind doesThe subtle ways urgency and validation drown out intuitionSimple, embodied practices to rebuild self-trustIf you've been explaining away a feeling you can't quite name, this episode is your invitation to pause, listen, and come back into alignment.Your intuition never lies. But it will get louder if you don't listen.May 17th 2026 Slow Flow & Sculpt 1 Day Workshop in Los Angeles // Registration Closes April 15th 2026 2-Day Intensive Golden Touch Workshop Application Workshop & Retreat Waitlist

Hey Friend, If you've been feeling a little overwhelmed by the pressure of resolutions—or just plain worn out—this episode is for you. We're doing January differently this year. Instead of pushing harder or chasing a “new you,” I'm inviting you to reset with purpose. This month, we're stepping back to revisit the foundations—personally, in our home, and right here on the podcast. In this episode, I'm sharing: Why our family is choosing to slow down and realign instead of pushing harder Why I'm retiring the Functional Hormone Reset (and what's replacing it) The heart and vision behind the Women's Functional Health Lab What your body is really saying when you feel foggy, exhausted, irritable, or “off” How daily lifestyle rhythms—not just supplements—help create hormonal stability Why your nervous system, blood sugar, and sleep rhythms are more important than you think The power of laying your health at the feet of Jesus and asking for wisdom This isn't about doing more. It's about doing the right things, in the right order, with the right heart posture.

Hey friend, As we step into January, I'm intentionally revisiting some of the most listened-to and most impactful conversations from the very beginning of Functional Medicine for Christian Women until now. This episode is one of them. If you've ever cut out foods, followed the “right” plan, stayed disciplined, and still felt stuck—or even worse than before—this conversation will feel very familiar. In this episode, I sat down with two women I deeply respect to talk honestly about why so many Christian women feel like they're doing everything “right” with their health and still not seeing lasting results. You'll hear from: Shaela Daugherty, host of the Simple Fitness Habits podcast Brittany Braswell, host of the Faith-Filled Food Freedom podcast Together, we talk candidly about what's really happening beneath the surface when health efforts stop working. In this episode, we cover: Why fad diets like keto, “no carbs,” or extreme clean eating can backfire on hormones, metabolism, and stress levels How chronic dieting can push the body into a survival state, raise cortisol, and make weight loss harder over time Why “I just need to be more disciplined” is not the real problem How diet culture fuels comparison, obsession, and shame instead of freedom in Christ The difference between quick-fix results and long-term, sustainable health What it actually looks like to surrender your health to the Lord and begin rebuilding trust with your body This was not a scripted or polished conversation. We hit record on a real, honest discussion—sharing stories from our own lives, from women we've walked alongside, and from what we see over and over again in Christian women who are exhausted from trying harder instead of being supported better. And if you need a little levity in the middle of a heavy topic, make sure you stay until the end. Shaela and I give Brittany a challenge that had all of us laughing—and it paints a pretty accurate picture of just how exhausting diet culture can be. As part of this January Reset, I encourage you to listen with fresh ears. Not to figure out what you should do next—but to notice what resonates, what brings relief, and what might be inviting you to slow down and support your body differently. Before you go…

Hey Friend, As we head into a new year, I wanted to pause and share something important with you. In this short episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's coming next for the Functional Medicine for Christian Women podcast—and why 2026 will be the most intentional, focused, and supportive year yet. January will look a little different around here. Instead of brand-new weekly episodes, I'll be re-airing the five most impactful episodes from the podcast—episodes that listeners consistently tell me helped them finally understand what was going on in their bodies. Along with each re-aired episode, I'll also be sharing exciting updates about what's coming in the year ahead. In this episode, I share: Why January will be a reset and re-air month How the podcast is shifting in 2026 (and why) The five core pillars we'll be focusing on moving forward What you can expect in terms of education, tools, and conversations Why this is the most planned and prayerfully considered season of the podcast yet In 2026, the podcast will be centered around the topics I'm asked about most in client appointments and conversations, including: Blood sugar and metabolic stability Gut health, digestion, and inflammation Stress, cortisol, and nervous system safety Hormones and thyroid as downstream systems Faith, stewardship, and sustainable health We'll also be bringing in thoughtful guests and strategic partners to help you feel informed and confident as you navigate topics like blood sugar balance, hormone health, gut health, GLP-1 medications, and glucose monitors—always through a calm, Biblical, and functional medicine lens. If you've been craving clarity, simplicity, and a more sustainable approach to your health, you're in the right place. Thank you for being here, for listening, and for trusting me to walk alongside you in this season. January is a reset—and what's coming next is something I can't wait to share. Stay tuned.

Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
This episode is powered by The Seven Figure Shift 3-Day Workshop with Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Your business will always expose what you haven't healed." Darnyelle Jervey Harmon It's not your funnel. It's not your launch. It's not your marketing or your team. It's your nervous system. In this final installment of the For the Love of Money series, Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon pulls back the veil on the hidden forces sabotaging your revenue, no matter how brilliant you are or how many millions you've made. If you've ever felt stalled, burned out from striving, or stuck in a silent spiral of sabotage... this episode is going to feel like spiritual surgery. We go deep into the three invisible money traps that plague high-level CEOs, and why the real cost isn't just missed revenue, but missed purpose, peace, and legacy. If you're a 7-figure CEO in the making, or already at seven but silently circling six, this conversation is your mirror, your map, and your mandate to move. We don't do surface-level here. We excavate patterns, confront your subconscious thermostat, and call in the healing required for your next level. Here's the truth: You cannot build legacy in a body that doesn't feel safe with overflow. Until you address your nervous system's rejection of abundance, your strategy will keep stalling, and you'll keep thinking it's a business problem when it's really a money identity crisis. Scaling without safety isn't leadership. It's survival. And that pattern ends here. You'll walk with a visceral understanding of why your income keeps resetting, no matter how hard you work, the three survival-mode traps successful entrepreneurs unconsciously fall into, a new lens for viewing launches, hiring, pricing, and burnout through a nervous system and spiritual healing framework and clear next steps to begin healing your money trauma, and a powerful invitation into the only container designed to do just that: SANCTUARY. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to recognize when your growth ceiling is actually a safety ceiling, not a strategy gap ✔ How to identify whether you're stuck in the Stall, the Strive, or the Sabotage pattern ✔ How to shift from money-based panic into identity-based overflow using spiritual and somatic integration ✔And so much more This episode is a call to put your strategy down long enough to get honest about what's really running your business behind the scenes: your unhealed money story. Dr. Darnyelle doesn't just name the subconscious sabotage patterns holding you back, she brings receipts, neuroscience, scripture, and personal stories to show you the real reason your growth feels stuck, stalled, or suffocating. This is spiritual alignment meets somatic safety meets unapologetic truth. And it's everything you didn't know you needed before you scale again. This is your invitation to stop pushing. Stop performing. Drop the mask, press play, and listen like your future depends on it, because it does. If you've built the business but your peace is bankrupt, or you've hit new revenue highs but secretly feel more pressure than prosperity, this episode will explain why… and show you how to heal it.

Do I consistently undercharge, overgive, or procrastinate—despite knowing better? Have I ever burned down something good and called it a pivot? Is my nervous system conditioned to associate overflow with danger, not safety? Which of the three patterns (Stall, Strive, Sabotage) am I most unconsciously living in? Want more of Darnyelle?
