What if the money that shows up after loss doesn't feel like security, but like a cruel reminder of what you've lost? How do you turn something that feels heavy and unwanted into a source of hope, stability, and even love? In this episode of Financially Ever After Widowhood, Stacy sits down with Emma Gray, a former probate attorney, military wife, widowed mother of two, and now grief coach and counselor. Emma shares her deeply personal story of navigating grief, identity, and finances after the loss of her husband, and how she ultimately reframed money not as a burden, but as his lasting legacy. You'll hear them discuss: - How Emma, despite being a probate attorney, found herself completely unable to face the financial paperwork and money decisions in the months after her husband passed away - The emotional shock of grief and the surprising ways it shows up physically in the body, from exhaustion to the feeling of a “broken heart” - Emma's identity crisis after leaving law, and the journey that led her from being a lawyer to building a new career as a counselor and grief coach - Why putting your own needs first is not selfish, but actually the only way to show up fully for your children, family, and everyone who depends on you - The powerful shift Emma experienced when she stopped seeing the insurance and pension payouts as a painful substitute for her husband, and instead began to view them as his legacy - The importance of creating both financial and emotional safety, and how ignoring one often makes it impossible to feel secure in the other Resources Emma Gray on the Web | LinkedIn | Instagram | Rainbow Hunting Facebook | Rainbow Hunting Community - Facebook Group I Email: emma@rainbowhunting.co.uk Free Sadmin Quiz - to assess how sorted your home/life admin is: https://rainbowhunting.kartra.com/survey/sadminquiz Stacy Francis on LinkedIn | X(Twitter) | Email FrancisFinancial.com Reach out to receive a complimentary consultation!

Clement Manyathela sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart in a pre-recorded interview to unpack the science behind those “gut feelings” and uncanny coincidences. In her new book, Dr. Swart explores how our brains are wired to pick up on subtle patterns, and how what feels like magic may actually be our intuition at work. Blending neuroscience with real-world stories, she makes the case for tuning into these signals to make better decisions and live more purposefully.

Show Notes:Daniëlle began her academic path in psychology, later moving into criminology through her interest in decision making and online behaviour.Her PhD research at NSCR focuses on cybercriminal decision making, using honeypots and experiments in real online environments.Early experiments tested how different rewards affected access attempts on fake accounts.A major focus has been on the impact of Operation Cookie Monster (2023), which disrupted the Genesis Market. Danielle's work examined how this law enforcement operation influenced behaviour and moderation practices on hacker forums.She emphasizes the value of experiments in the field, which allow researchers to test criminological theories with live offender behaviour, while balancing strict ethical and legal safeguards.About our guest:Danielle StibbeNSCR Profile Page: https://nscr.nl/en/medewerker/danielle-stibbe-msc/Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=1fsHJEgAAAAJ&hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-stibbe/?originalSubdomain=nlPapers or resources mentioned in this episode:Onaolapo, J., Mariconti, E., & Stringhini, G.

In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into one of the sneakiest ways we sabotage ourselves: saying yes after a string of no's. Our brains often trick us into believing we “deserve” a reward after sacrifice—even if that yes derails our goals. April shares how to recognize this moment of weakness, why it happens, and how to build the self-awareness needed to stay aligned with your bigger vision. She emphasizes the importance of being intentional in decision-making, ensuring that every yes or no moves you closer to the life and business you're building. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How your brain uses “rewards” to justify a yes after multiple no's. How to be intentional in decision-making and outsmart your brain. The power of saying the fourth no with the same energy as the first. Why awareness is the first step in stopping sabotage. Quote to Remember: “Your brain will try to trick you into a yes after sacrifice—but the true reward is staying aligned with your goals.” – April Key Takeaway: High performers don't just say no once—they say no consistently, even when their brain is screaming for an easy yes. That consistency is where the magic happens. ______________________________________

Is Practice Ownership worth the stress?  What's the most difficult thing you have to do as a practice owner?  Thinking about starting your own squat practice? How long does it really take before you see profit, and what sacrifices do you need to make along the way? In this episode, Jaz is joined by Dr. Shabnam Zai to unpack the real highs and lows of running a dental practice. From the loss of control as an associate, to the resilience needed during COVID, to the challenges of leadership and managing a team—nothing is sugar-coated here. They also tackle the big money question: when does a squat practice finally become profitable, and is it worth the grind in those first few years? If you've ever wondered whether practice ownership is for you—or why it might not be—this episode will give you the clarity (and reality check) you need. https://youtu.be/Tf1bgOWMA2A Watch PDP237 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: “DO NOT COMPARE YOUR WORK TO WHAT YOU SEE ON SOCIAL MEDIA” Most cases shown online are the very best results, done under perfect conditions by clinicians with thousands of hours of experience.  Instead of letting that trigger self-doubt or imposter syndrome, use it as inspiration: respect it, aspire toward it, and occasionally achieve it — but remember that real-world dentistry is different. Key Takeaways Engagement in work is crucial for job satisfaction. Time management is essential for balancing work and family. Marketing and patient relationships are vital for practice growth. Quality time with family is more important than quantity. Coaching can help surface potential and provide accountability. Delegation is essential for effective practice management. Vulnerability can arise unexpectedly in practice ownership. Managing people requires empathy and clear communication. Being an associate can be fulfilling and offers flexibility. It's important to have projects outside of dentistry. Balancing family life with practice ownership is challenging but possible. Financial planning is crucial before starting a practice. Understanding your priorities helps in making career decisions. Documenting staff performance is key to effective management. Continuous learning and self-improvement are vital for success.

BONUS: Captain David Marquet's Guide to Becoming Your Own Best Coach In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into Captain David Marquet's latest book "Distancing: How Great Leaders Reframe to Make Better Decisions." Captain Marquet, renowned for transforming the USS Santa Fe from the worst-performing submarine to the best in the fleet, shares powerful insights on psychological distancing and how stepping outside ourselves can dramatically improve our decision-making abilities. Make sure you also check the previous episode with Captain Marquet, where we discuss the key lessons from his book: Turn The Ship Around! A very often referred book on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast.  The Genesis of Distancing "What I really needed was people to think, not just comply, not just do what they were told." Captain Marquet traces the origins of his distancing concept back to his submarine experience. After realizing that giving orders gave people "a pass on thinking," he developed a system where crew members would say "I intend to..." instead of waiting for commands. However, he noticed that officers would sometimes make decisions that were good for their department but not optimal for the submarine as a whole. This led him to ask different questions - like having the engineer sit in the captain's chair and think from that perspective. The breakthrough came when he started asking himself, "What would my six-month-from-now self want me to do today?" The Three B's of Better Decision Making "The problem with your decision making isn't gathering more market data. The problem is your internal, your egoic biases that just come from the fact that you view the decision from inside your own head." Marquet introduces the "3 B's of better decision making": Be someone else, be somewhere else, be sometime else. These psychological distancing techniques help overcome the limitations of our "immersed self" - the version of us trapped in immediate pressures, deadlines, and ego-driven concerns. When we distance ourselves temporally (thinking as our future self), socially (thinking as someone else), or spatially (imagining being somewhere else), we access what psychologists call our "distanced self," which aligns more closely with our ideal self and core values. The Jeff Bezos Example "When I'm 80, when am I going to regret more? Am I going to regret trying this idea and failing or not trying the idea?" Marquet shares how Jeff Bezos used temporal distancing when deciding whether to leave his Wall Street job to start Amazon. By imagining himself at 80 looking back, Bezos was able to see past immediate concerns like his upcoming bonus and rent payments to focus on what would truly matter in the long term. This shift in perspective transforms how our brain processes decisions - from viewing them as "scary change" to considering them through the lens of potential regret. Practical Applications for Teams "I want you to imagine that a team in Singapore is going to work on the same kind of project next month. What would we want them to know?" The distancing technique has powerful applications for team retrospectives and decision-making. Instead of asking "What could we have done better?" (which triggers defensiveness), Marquet suggests reframing as helping a future team in another location. This approach employs all three B's simultaneously:  Be someone else: Helping another team rather than critiquing yourself  Be sometime else: Focusing on future improvement rather than past mistakes Be somewhere else: Imagining the team in a different location removes personal attachment Becoming Your Own Coach "You become your own friend, you become your own coach." Marquet emphasizes that leaders cannot effectively coach others until they learn to coach themselves. He challenges leaders who want their teams to change by asking, "What have you changed recently?" The coach perspective provides the elevated view needed to see the whole field rather than being immersed in the immediate action. Like a sports coach who doesn't feel the hits but sees the strategy, our "coach self" can provide objective guidance to our "player self." The Language of Leadership "The people who said 'you can do it' exerted more energy and felt better than the people who said 'I can do it.'" Building on his previous work in "Leadership is Language," Marquet demonstrates how changing from first-person to second or third-person language creates psychological distance. Studies show that athletes performing endurance tests while saying "you can do it" outperformed those saying "I can do it." This simple language shift helps separate us from the immersed self and provides a slight but meaningful perspective advantage. The Intel Transformation Story "What if we got fired? And the board brought in new people to run the company. What would the new people do?" Marquet shares the pivotal moment when Intel founders Gordon Moore and Andy Grove used distancing to make the crucial decision to abandon memory chips for microprocessors. For a year, they couldn't make this decision because their identity was tied to being "memory chip makers." Only when Grove asked Moore to imagine what new leadership would do were they able to immediately see the obvious answer: focus on microprocessors. This decision saved Intel and created the company we know today. Stopping Time: Planning the Pause "The best thing is you have to plan the pauses. The best case is when you plan the pause ahead of time." Marquet explains that once we're in our reactive, immersed state, it's nearly impossible to climb out without System 2 override. The solution is to schedule pauses proactively. When teams know there will be scheduled reflection points, they're more willing to commit to execution while also noting areas for improvement. This is why agile methodologies are so effective - they build in regular pause points for reflection and course correction. Overcoming Defensive Reactions "Your brain will curate the input - it will always choose to pay attention to things that prove you're right and ignore things that prove you wrong." The immersed self creates defensive reactions during evaluations, retrospectives, or any situation involving performance assessment. Our brains naturally filter information to support our existing self-image, remembering successes while forgetting failures. Distancing techniques help bypass these defensive mechanisms by removing the ego from the equation, allowing for more objective analysis and better decision-making. Acting Your Way to New Thinking "We act our way to new thinking. You want to do different things. We act your way to a new mindset. You don't mindset your way to new actions." Marquet concludes with a crucial insight about change: behavior change leads to mindset change, not the other way around. Rather than trying to convince people to think differently, leaders should focus on creating small, actionable changes that gradually shift thinking patterns. His "Leadership Nudges" concept embodies this approach, offering brief, practical tools that teams can implement immediately.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking for tips on making better decisions? In this episode of the Guild Live Show, host Tyson Mutrux explores the latest in AI and marketing. He demonstrates the AI agent "Comet" for workflow automation, discusses tracking cryptocurrency investments, and reflects on business decision-making inspired by Jeff Bezos' “two-way door” concept. Tyson talks about the AI agent, Comet that can be used for workflow automation. It is a great tool that helps you with your tasks and can act as a thinking partner. A great aspect of this tool is that it can build you a workflow which Tyson provides a demonstration for. You can ask Comet to create things for you, such as providing you a rundown of your monthly calendar. Tyson also speaks to the limitations of the platform, which can cause frustration. Tyson shares Amazon's “two way door” concept for making fast decisions. The concept is that if you walk through a door and don't like what you see, you can walk out. If something works for you, that is great. But, if something doesn't, you can stop doing it. As it relates to law firms, this is an important concept. If you are using a tool or process in your firm that does not work, it is completely fine to stop using it and find a better option.Listen in to learn more!1:16 Discussion about the Comet AI browser agent6:34 Observations on Comet's speed and limitations15:24 Amazon's “two way door” concept for fast, reversible decisions16:20 The two way door concept and its relevance to his firm's decision-makingTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

In this conversation, Dr. Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin, discusses her book “Hate the Game,” that frames life and career decisions as strategic games. She emphasizes the importance of understanding economic principles to navigate personal and professional challenges, negotiate effectively, and reclaim agency in various aspects of life. Fairweather shares insights on overcoming barriers related to race and gender, the impact of information asymmetry, and the significance of designing one's own path in a competitive environment. The conversation highlights the necessity of introspection, strategic thinking, and the ability to adapt in a world that often feels rigged against certain individuals.Takeaways Life can be viewed as a game where strategic decisions matter. Negotiation requires awareness of both your and your employer's options. Workplace bullying can be addressed with strategic approaches. Information asymmetry can hinder career advancement; awareness is key. Barriers in academia can be overcome with strategy and support. Race and gender dynamics play a significant role in economic opportunities. Balancing strategic thinking with empathy is crucial for long-term success.
