What if the way you measure success is actually what's burning you out? Erika Coleman thought she had it figured out. Give your best, maybe a little more, and things work out. It worked for years, until it didn't. In 2022, her mom was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. And for the next 14 months, she watched her business sales and her mom's health drop in tandem. She gave more and more and more, following every rule, checking every box. But the results didn't go up. They went down. Her mom passed away. Two months later, she had to close her business. And then her body finally shut down. She was too tired to smile at her daughter's drawing. That's when she knew something had to change.Erika Coleman is a high-performance researcher, speaker, and founder of the Even Achieving method. After earning her master's degree from Harvard studying stress, well-being, and performance, she discovered what most of us get wrong about pacing. It's not about slowing down. It's not about protecting your energy. Pacing is an athletic endeavor. It's how you win your race without killing yourself in the process.In this episode, we cover:Why giving your all doesn't mean you're giving your best, and how to tell the differenceThe hidden cost of using effort to prove you care (and what to measure instead)How grief and business demand collide, and why pushing harder makes both worseWhat happens when your body finally shuts down after months of overrideThe small moments that matter most when you're chasing big, Instagram-worthy memoriesHow to pace yourself like an athlete, not a martyrWhy high performance requires rest, not more hustleThis episode is for you if:You've been giving everything you have and the results still aren't what you expectedYou're carrying grief, caregiving, or health challenges while trying to keep your business afloatYou use busyness to prove you care, and you're burnout and exhaustedYou've hit a point where your body won't let you push anymoreYou want to learn how to give your best without giving your allConnect with Erika Coleman: https://www.erikacolemanspeaks.com

Spiritually exhausted? Therapist Faith Freed reveals why your spiritual practice might be the problem, and how to build one that actually fits your real life. What if the reason your spiritual life feels like a second job is because you've been following someone else's job description? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with Faith Freed, licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and author of DIY Spirituality: Chart Your Own Sacred Path, to explore one of the most overlooked causes of spiritual burnout: doing it wrong for you, not doing it wrong in general. Faith spent nearly two decades in clinical practice, trained at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, and has seen firsthand what happens when people treat their spiritual growth like a performance review. Spoiler: it doesn't end in enlightenment. It ends in a meditation cushion being used as a footrest. What you'll hear in this episode: Will opens up about something he's never discussed on the show before. after years of daily meditation, breathwork, sound baths, energy healings, and spiritual retreats, he still doesn't feel "further forward." Faith's response reframes the entire conversation: the goal was never a destination. It was always just a practice of touching in. Faith introduces her Divine Disco Ball framework, a four-part map of spiritual connection built around body and mind, soul and spirit, infinite source, and the natural world. The framework isn't diagnostic or prescriptive. it's a navigation tool. When one quadrant feels heavy or overworked, you simply rotate to another. Will also has a live breakthrough moment on air. connecting a spontaneous mystical experience he had years ago in the Atlanta airport to a pattern Faith identifies in real time: being alone in a crowd might actually be his spiritual sweet spot. It's one of those genuine, unscripted moments that makes this episode worth the full listen. Key topics covered:Why spiritual exhaustion is more common than spiritual failure, and how to tell the differenceThe "spiritual playlist" concept. keeping what lights you up, releasing what you force out of obligationWhy micro-rituals (as short as 60 seconds) can be more sustainable than elaborate daily practicesThe difference between spiritual presence and spiritual distraction, and how your intuition already knows which is whichWhat "authentic spirituality" actually means when the word has been flattened by wellness cultureHow a phone fast, a solo trip to an amusement park, or simply watching rain can be a legitimate spiritual practiceWhy Faith believes you don't have to do anything at all. and why that's both liberating and surprisingly hardAbout Faith Freed: Faith Freed is a licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and the founder of Freed-Om. She holds a master's degree in clinical psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and has nearly two decades of clinical experience. Her newest book, DIY Spirituality: Chart Your Own Sacred Path (Collective Book Studio, 2026), offers an illustrated, accessible guide to building a personal spiritual practice outside of rigid religious or wellness frameworks.

If you're building a business where actual humans pay you to work with them, there's a part of it almost nobody is talking about — and it's the part that determines whether people buy from you, stay with you, and tell other people about you. And it's not your marketing – it's the experience.In this episode I'm joined by my friend Natalie Madrigal, founder of Perfect Your CX, who spent more than a decade in customer success and community across tech — including Meta and Google for Education — before building a business helping expert-led businesses turn the customers and community they already have into their biggest source of growth, revenue and referrals. (She's also on the panel at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE! this October, and I could not wait to have this conversation with her!)In this juicy episode Natalie and I cover a lot of ground! We get into why the experience someone has with you starts long before they ever pay you a dime, and what it means to deliver on the promise your brand is making. We talk about the trust recession — where it came from, what the boom of the last few years did to people's willingness to invest, and how much of that comes down to people buying things and then being completely abandoned. And one of the things we are both obsessed with is how the customer experience has been flattened into "systems and automations" in the online space, and why that's backwards — because this is actually one of the best places in your whole business to let your personality and your judgment show. We break down the difference between being salesy and making someone feel special (which is something I coach on constantly!) And we geek out on retention as a revenue strategy, which almost nobody in this industry talks about.In this episode you'll hear:Where the customer experience actually begins — and why it's much earlier than most people thinkWhy "customer experience" is not the same thing as systems and automations, and what gets lost when you treat them as interchangeableWhat the trust recession is, where it came from, and what it means for anyone selling human-centered work right nowThe difference between being pushy and making someone feel seen — and why following up is not the same as being salesyWhy retention might be the most overlooked revenue strategy in this entire industryWhat to actually automate, what to keep your own eyes on, and how to tell the differenceThe small, unglamorous things you can start doing right now, whether you have three clients or three thousandNatalie is a sponsor and will be at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE! for both days this October, as well as on the panel — The Human Edge: Building Your Personal Brand in the Age of AI. Every single attendee is getting access to the suite of apps she's built, plus a personalized onboarding session with her.And if you want the free gift she mentions on the show — find her on Instagram, send her a "hey," tell her you came from my world, and she'll let you pick one.Find Natalie:Instagram: @perfectyourcxLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalie-madrigal/Perfect Your CX: https://perfectyourcx.com/Passionate & Prosperous LIVE!: Your Genius Edge is happening October 16th & 17th in New York City.

In this episode, Jess draws a hard line between depression and the dark night of the soul — two states that get collapsed into one another, and shouldn't be. Depression, in her experience, is flat and dead: no frequency, no vibration, nothing moving. The dark night of the soul is the opposite. It's full frequency, full range — blissful and devastating within the same few minutes, Pandora's box thrown open rather than a light switched off.She walks through what actually happens in the deeper chambers: the filters come off, and you start seeing the structure underneath everything — the soul contracts between people, the masks, the patterns that were always there but invisible. It's a kind of genius activation, and it's disorienting precisely because so much is coming online at once. This is where isolation shows up too — not as punishment, but because what you're seeing, other people often can't, and won't want you to say.The throughline of the episode is this: most people wait for the dark night to finish before they let themselves look at their vision. Jess argues that's backwards. The vision has to come into the chamber with you — it's the vehicle that flies you back out. Leave it outside, and there's nothing to anchor you; you're untethered in the dark with no way back.She draws on Mark Rothko, Prince, Michael Jackson and her own spiritual awakening — the marriage ending, 22 years of work walked away from, the home sold, all inside a state of undeniable bliss and crippling anxiety at once — to make the case that the artists and creators who move people are the ones willing to go into the dark den and create from inside it, rather than watch safely from what she calls "the Barbie life." It's a call to bring your pinnacle vision with you into whatever is falling apart, rather than waiting for solid ground first.Topics CoveredWhy the dark night of the soul isn't depression — the frequency differenceThe concentric circles / deepening chambers of the dark nightSeeing soul contracts, masks and patterns — and the isolation that comes with itBringing your pinnacle vision into the chamber as your way back outJess's own awakening: divorce, leaving a 22-year career, and bliss alongside anxietyArt, suffering and creation — Mark Rothko, Prince, Michael Jackson, Taylor SwiftThe Barbie life vs. the artist's lifeThe masculine/feminine dynamic in bringing vision into manifested formhttps://spiritualised-the-vessel.netlify.app/

Conflicts in relationship — where your assumptions are the invisible thing running every hard conversation you have.In this episode, Georgianna and Steph walk through the conscious and unconscious assumptions we bring into hard conversations — the ones that decide the outcome before the conversation starts. Georgianna shares the prompt she uses with couples to surface what's actually underneath, and walks through her four-category framework: assumptions about yourself, about your partner, about the situation, and about relationships. Steph names the patterns that show up when desperate attachment runs the room — including her own history of trying to get a therapist to fix her partner instead of getting curious about herself.They also work a live somatic practice on air: noticing an unhelpful assumption, feeling it in the body, then choosing a more helpful one and noticing what shifts. The whole practice takes under two minutes. The point is to grow the muscle before you need it — because the nervous system only reaches for what it's already practiced.What You'll Learn:Why "not actively yelling" and "regulated enough to talk" are not the same — and how to tell the differenceThe four categories of assumptions every conflict conversation carries (and prompts to surface them)How your body knows your assumptions before your mind does, and how to tap inThe difference between claiming you're curious and actually being curious — and the physical anchor that closes the gapHow to assume good intentions with discernmentA two-minute somatic practice you can use before any hard conversationResources Mentioned:Somatic Integration Sessions — twice-monthly live body-based practices, where this work happens in communityConscious Relationship Training (CRT) — our 10-week live cohort training, twice yearly.

You know what you need to do. You have the supplements on the counter. You set the alarms. You started strong. And then, somewhere around week two, it all fell apart. Not because you are lazy. Not because you do not care about your health. But because the protocol was asking more of you than your real life could give.I know because that was me. This past fall, I could not follow my own protocol. I have a PhD in turmeric research. I am an Ayurvedic practitioner. I help women heal from chronic inflammation every single day. And I completely failed at my own mold detox plan. Not because I did not know what to do, but because I tried to do too much at once on top of an already full life.And in this episode, I am going to tell you the whole story, including the client who succeeded where I failed, the moment my functional medicine doctor told me to prioritize myself, and the one shift that made everything finally click.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:Why my client Maria healed completely on a protocol just as involved as mine and exactly what made the differenceThe difference between symptomatic and asymptomatic healing and why it changes everything about your ability to stay consistentWhy intensity is the enemy of consistency for women who are already carrying full livesThe moment I heard the words "prioritize you" and why they broke me open in a way I did not expectHow I reorganized my entire supplement routine into one simple box system and what that looked likeThe four qualities every sustainable wellness protocol must have to actually workThe one question to ask yourself before you add any new health practiceRESOURCES MENTIONED:The Inflammation Code (book) https://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas Supplements — use code CODE15 for 15% off your first order https://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox ChallengeWork with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery Call

It's one of the most personal episodes in the entire series.Amy shares how she finally recognized herself as a Seven, what she most wanted to avoid about it, and how her gift of reframing quietly became a form of spiritual bypassing, a way of rushing past pain that still needed tending. She talks about the year joy was her word, and how the Lord used it to form something far deeper and more rooted than she expected. About EMDR, grief, Dark Saturday, and the season, she sat in stillness for two to three hours at a time — not doing anything, just being held.If you're a Seven who has ever wondered what it costs to slow down (and what's waiting on the other side), this conversation is for you.In this episode:How Amy finally recognized herself as a Seven and why she quietly sat on it for a whileThe family member who made her not want to claim the typeReframing as a superpower and as a spiritual bypass, but learning the differenceThe year joy was her word, and what the Lord did with itWhat it actually felt like to slow down, grieve, and stayEMDR, Dark Saturday, and the U diagramAmy's season of stillness: waking early, sitting with an open Bible and a cup of coffee, being heldDeanna's reflection on five years of walking with Amy and what growth really looks likeA closing word to every Seven who has been told they're too muchDeanna Sudom is a spiritual director and co-teacher on the Wholehearted Enneagram Podcast.Connect with Deanna: https://www.simplywholehearted.com/deanna-sudomSupport the showRESOURCES FOR YOU:Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Coaching with Amy Wickshttps://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicksNot sure about your Enneagram Type?

Send us Fan MailThe plan is just paper. The value is in using it.When your nonprofit is growing but still feels directionless, that's not a passion problem…it's a planning problem. Strategic planning isn't about doing more, it's about finally knowing what matters. When you're clear on who you serve, honest about what it costs, and aware of how it's funded, everything else - including your fundraising - gets easier from there. Cara Augspurger, CFRE, spent six months working through exactly that, and in this episode, she shares five practical steps to move your stratgic plan from constant reaction to clear, sustainable direction.What you'll learn:Why growth and busyness can mask a real lack of direction, and how to tell the differenceThe single clarity question every nonprofit needs to answer before anything elseWhy "what are we not going to do this year?" might be the most strategic question you askHow to do an honest funding reality check, and what to do when the numbers don't line upWhat a "good year" actually looks like in concrete, actionable numbers, not just a gut feelWhy stability - not scale - is often the most important milestone for early-stage nonprofitsAbout Cara AugspurgerCara Augspurger, CFRE, is the Executive Director of Grace Care Center Foundation and co-host of The Nonprofit Podcast.

You've been disciplined, prepared, and capable for a long time. But there's a difference between confidence and control — and most high performers have been running on one while calling it the other.Most high-capacity humans never question their confidence. They move, decide, build. They prepare thoroughly, perform consistently, and produce results that earn trust from everyone around them.But underneath that movement, something quieter has been running.A low-grade hypervigilance ensuring enough variables are accounted for before anything moves. The fitness. The financial precision. The standard that ensures nothing surprises you. All of it real. And all of it quietly functioning as a substitute for something never built: trust.This is the recognition most high performers never have — because control, when you're good at it, gets called discipline. Which makes it nearly impossible to see that underneath the strength, a nervous system learned to treat uncertainty as a threat.One distinction changes everything.Certainty depends on outcomes cooperating, variables behaving. Trust holds even when they don't. Certainty can be taken. Trust, once genuinely rooted, simply can't.This is Week 14's Recognition stage — the week this season has been building toward. After Repair, Conflict, and Grief, you arrive stripped clean. What becomes available isn't more strategy. It's trust as an identity posture — the floor you lead from when certainty is no longer required.Is this episode for you?You've built something real and still scan for certainty before you feel safeYour discipline is functioning beyond what the situation requiresThe confidence others see feels more like preparation than presenceWhat we walk through:Why control and confidence aren't the same — and why high performers rarely see the differenceThe nervous system arc: hypervigilance → noticing the scan → releasing the requirementWhy trust isn't passivity — it's the floor you lead from when certainty isn't requiredToday's Recalibration:Think of one area where your preparation exceeds what the situation requires. Don't judge it.

We live in a world where every crisis lands in your pocket the moment it happens. The result? We're more informed than ever — and somehow less capable of doing anything about it.Inventor and investor Pablos Holman has a diagnosis: we're spreading ourselves across every problem, which means we're solving none of them.

And thanks to advances in AI and software, these "impossible" problems are more solvable than ever — if the right people show up to back them.In this conversation, recorded at the fabulous PopTech conference, he makes the case that inventors are the most important creative class on earth — and the most invisible.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit abbieattwoodwellness.substack.comIn this bonus episode, Abbie is joined by her husband Jeb (nearly a decade sober) to respond to a listener question: Is healing actually worth how hard it feels?It's a listener favorite, vulnerable conversation about the messy middle of recovery — from dieting, disordered eating, addiction, and the coping mechanisms that once kept us afloat.Some of the topics discussed:Why recovery often feels harder before it feels betterThe short-term relief vs. long-term cost of coping mechanismsHow dieting and addiction share similar roots (shame, fear, inadequacy, belonging)Personal examples from Abbie and Jeb and pieces of their storiesPhysical vs. emotional discomfort in recovery — and how to tell the differenceThe power of community (and why healing in isolation is so much harder)Small, quiet “wins” that signal real healingWhy “dabbling” in restriction tends to snowballPrivilege, barriers to recovery, and the realities of healing in this worldHere is the question that inspired this episode:Hi Abbie,I've been recovering from decades of dieting and disordered eating. I'm completely on board with doing this work for myself, for my kids. I recognize now - many thanks to you - how much of my life has been wasted on trying to control my body.But I'm struggling, and many days I have these thoughts of: is this harder than just continuing to diet and restrict? I'm uncomfortable, I feel stressed and anxious, and it's hard to cope with the body changes. I just feel defeated in many ways.I know I don't want to go back, but at the same time, healing is feeling so hard. I am hoping you'll have some advice for where to go from here.

This is a difficult and honest conversation. For years, Jacob played the tough guy. Violence, intimidation, and control became a shield against something he could not face in himself. The price was prison, addiction, fractured relationships and a life built on concealing his true identity. Adopted as a baby and raised in a loving, privileged home in North London, Jacob grew up with a persistent sense of not belonging. Alongside that was the realisation, from a young age, that he was gay. Instead of acknowledging it, he suppressed it.What followed was not confusion, it was deliberate rejection of himself.He constructed a persona built on aggression and intimidation. Violence became a way to avoid scrutiny. Crime became a way to reinforce the mask. That path led to prison, addiction, secrecy, and years of internal conflict.This episode does not romanticise any of it.Jacob speaks plainly about:Growing up adopted and carrying an unspoken sense of differenceThe exhaustion of maintaining two identitiesUsing violence as protectionThe psychological reality of prisonAddiction and isolation after releaseSearching for identity in the wrong placesCaring for his father with dementia and confronting what truly mattersComing to terms with his sexuality later in lifeThere are no easy lessons in this story. It is uncomfortable at times. But it is real.Why listen?Because while few men will follow Jacob's exact path, many will recognise parts of it, the mask, the suppression, the anger, the attempt to prove strength instead of admitting fear.This episode is about the cost of self-rejection. It is about responsibility. It is about identity. And it is about the slow work of rebuilding a life once you decide to stop running.Jacob does not present himself as a victim. He accepts the consequences of his actions. What he offers instead is perspective: strength is willingness to live honestly, even after years of doing the opposite.This conversation will not be for everyone. But for those who are carrying something unspoken, it may resonate more than they expect.

"From the outside, we may look calm, confident, and completely put together, but on the inside, we're paddling as fast as we can just to stay afloat."In this episode of Business Is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession zooms into the hidden tension between outer confidence and inner vigilance. She explores how many high-capacity leaders appear steady and composed on the surface while internally living in a constant state of alertness. Over time, that quiet vigilance becomes a pattern. It's one that feels normal but comes at a cellular cost.Rebecca explains how our bodies respond to the paddling beneath the surface, not the calm we project outward. She breaks down the physical toll of always being “on,” from exhaustion and poor recovery to immune challenges and deep fatigue that rest alone cannot fix. She also addresses the important intersection of faith and nervous system regulation, reminding listeners that trusting God does not eliminate the need to care for our bodies and regulate our stress responses. Both can coexist, and when our inner and outer lives align, we unlock greater clarity, creativity, and leadership strength without sacrificing our peace.In this episode, you'll learn:How inner vigilance can quietly replace grounded confidence, and why your body feels the differenceThe physical and emotional cost of staying in constant “on” modePractical strategies for regulating your nervous system and aligning your inner and outer lifeThings to listen for:(00:00) Introduction(01:35) The misalignment between outer image and inner experience(02:26) Understanding the pattern of inner vigilance(05:06) The physical toll of living in constant alertness(09:34) Faith alongside nervous system awareness(12:00) Practical ways to cultivate inner regulation(18:19) Reflection and an invitation to look inwardConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/Get tickets for Stand Tall in Your Story (March 12): https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

The Chicago Bulls finally made a move at the NBA trade deadline — but is this just the start?In a three-team deal involving the Cleveland Cavaliers and Sacramento Kings, the Bulls acquire Dario Saric, a 2027 second-round pick (via Denver), and a 2029 second-round pick (least favorable of DET/MIL/NYK). Chicago waives Jevon Carter and sends out Emanu el Miller to complete the trade.For the first time in a while, Artūras Karnisovas used cap flexibility to add draft capital as a third team — something Bulls fans haven't seen much of.Now the real question: Is this the only move… or is this setting up something bigger?With:$89M in expiring contractsA $17.5M trade exceptionAn additional $2M exceptionMultiple movable second-round picksPotentially two first-rounders this summerChicago suddenly has flexibility.We break down:Why this trade matters long-termWhether Coby White is still the most likely Bull to be movedAyo Dosunmu's growing case to stayTrade targets like Yves Missi, Jeremy Sochan, and Day'Ron SharpeWhether AK sells, buys… or splits the differenceThe trade deadline countdown is ON.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Have you ever dreamed of traveling to Africa, India, or Southeast Asia—but didn't go because no one could join you? In this episode of Smart Women Talk, Katana Abbott interviews Susan Harvey, President of Worldwide Operations and Contracting for Overseas Adventure Travel, a women-founded travel company known for welcoming solo women travelers over 50.

Do you feel like the same family conflicts keep resurfacing—no matter how many times you “deal with them”?What if the problem isn't the conflict… but the drama patterns you're unknowingly participating in?In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel break down the drama triangle—a destructive cycle made up of three familiar roles: victim, rescuer, and persecutor. These roles keep families stuck in emotional reactivity, resentment, and zero real resolution.Here's the truth most parents never hear: you can face conflict head-on without making it dramatic.Stepping out of drama doesn't mean avoiding problems, disengaging, or “letting things slide.” It means learning how to handle disagreement with clarity, courage, and love—so issues actually get resolved instead of endlessly repeated.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why drama is not the same thing as conflict—and how to tell the differenceThe three roles that silently keep family arguments loopingHow one conscious person can interrupt the entire patternThe exact three steps to exit the drama triangle—starting immediatelyHow to shift from victim → creator, rescuer → coach, and persecutor → challengerWhy inner work and emotional awareness are essential to peaceful parentingHow these tools don't just change today's arguments—but transform family legaciesIf you're exhausted from emotional blowups, silent treatments, or constantly playing referee, this episode offers a practical, empowering path forward—one that leads to real resolution, stronger relationships, and a calmer family culture.Key Takeaways✅ Drama is optional—even when conflict is unavoidable.✅ The drama triangle keeps families stuck without resolution.✅ You only need one person to change the pattern.✅ Stopping your automatic reaction is the first powerful step.✅ Awareness creates choice—and choice creates change.✅ Creator, coach, and challenger roles lead to lasting solutions.✅ Inner work is the gateway to calmer, more effective parenting.Memorable Quotes

If you're anything like me, you've probably got a graveyard of supplements in a cupboard or under the sink, half-empty jars of vitamins that promised the world but now just gather dust. And when you do remember to take them, you're faced with a mountain of pills of all shapes and sizes. Ugh.Well, my guest this week is here to save us from that nightmare. Jennifer O'Connell, a friend of mine from our university days, left a 20-year career as a top barrister in Dublin and New York to co-found SISTERLY, alongside her two brilliant friends, Aoife Matthews and Louise O'Riordan.We chat about:How Jennifer's legal career helped her navigate everything from trademarks to manufacturing disputesWhy designing for women not small men makes all the differenceThe three-year journey to perfecting a powder supplement that's now winning awards (and hearts!)How community and authenticity are driving their grassroots growth – from cold-water swims at the 40 Foot to Sisterly Summits in London and DublinThe power of organic advocacy: think Sonia O'Sullivan, Liz Earle, Trinny Woodall, and even the cast of Rivals (Victoria Smurfit doppleganger?!)What I love about this story (and I hope you will too) is that it's about more than supplements; it's about sisterhood, collaboration, and creating something that truly elevates women's everyday health.Oh, and “Women are not small men.” When you design specifically for women, you make a better product for women. SISTERLY have nailed that, from the science to the packaging to the way they show up in the world. And I love how they're building community in such a natural, joyful way, not just selling a product but inviting women to connect, dance, swim, and lift each other up. Enjoy, I hope you all learn loads!Useful linksSISTERLY website https://sisterlylabs.comFollow on Instagram @sisterly_labFollow on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/sisterlylabConnect with Jennifer on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-o´connell-b1066022a/Connect with Aoife Matthews https://www.linkedin.com/in/aoifematthews/Connect with Louise O'Riordan https://www.linkedin.com/in/louise-oriordan/============================================================Thanks to Brand Growth Heroes' podcast sponsor - Joelson, the commercial law firm=============================================================If you're a founder, you already know how much of your energy goes into building the perfect product, creating standout branding and connecting with your consumers.But don't forget that scaling a CPG business also comes with a maze of legal complexities that can make or break your business journey.

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a lot more optimistic than I was a week ago. In spite of daily news that can feel pretty daunting, I think we just got a lot of new information out of this past week's elections that give us a ton of reasons for optimism. And I want to share those with you.A number of my clients have said to me in the last few days, give us a reason for optimism. How are you feeling about this? And each time I've had this conversation, I've gotten clearer about exactly what the big things were that represented major shifts.  I believe these shifts are reasons to get really excited about the rising power of a vast majority of people in this country who do not agree with what is happening. Who feel very strongly about it, and who are willing to go to the ballot box and make their voices heard. This election was the first opportunity for voters to weigh in on things since the 2024 elections. And boy did they have a lot to say. In this episode, we share:What the pollsters missed that made a huge differenceThe two most significant factors that drove voters' shift to blueThe most important thing that didn't happen, and why it mattersThe two most critical groups of voters who shifted strongly in our favor, and whyWhy the right's attempts at additional gerrymandering may backfire on themThe very surprising data point that tells us how many strong allies we haveWhat Nonprofit leaders can do to help fight voter suppression and ensure all eligible clients can make their voices heard in the next elections Links:Episode 54 – How to Help the People You Serve Make Their Voices Heard at the Ballot BoxEpisode 62 – How Your Nonprofit can Help Your Clients Register to Vote in the 2024 ElectionsEpisode 66 – How to Help Your Clients Make Sure Their Vote CountsHelp spread the word!

Welcome to the 200th episode of The Boss Lady Podcast! 

278: "I am only interested in becoming known for what is true because one day you're going to fucking slip. And I think that is the scariest thing is to paint an entire picture around the most acceptable version of yourself and then fall from that because it's a lie." - Xanthe AppleyardIf you've ever thought you needed 100K followers to "matter" or felt guilty for working weekends while preaching about your “soft girl era”—this episode will rewire your entire approach to online business. Xanthe Appleyard gets incredibly honest about building a successful business on her own terms, from both a financial and energetic lens, ditching the "serious entrepreneur" mask (and why you can still be a silly goose while helping your people), and why leisure and pleasure are just as important as profit and revenue. She may have also single-handedly changed Chelsea's notoriously anti-social media POV!Episode ThemesWhy impulsivity isn't self-sabotage when you're moving toward what you actually wantThe "commitment as trap" myth and how reframing it changes everything about relationships and businessMonotasking your way to sanity: how compartmentalizing tasks prevents burnoutThe follower count lie: why 1K engaged people beats 100K passive scrollers every damn timeTrading "promised freedom later" for "more freedom now" (and why this isn't selfish)Social media as a tool vs. social media as your worth—and how to tell the differenceThe cognitive dissonance of building businesses on platforms we're morally conflicted aboutWhy hiding your "unprofessional" side perpetuates everyone else's shameThis episode isn't about clocking 60 hour work weeks to see results or becoming more palatable—it's about getting so clear on your values that every business decision becomes glaringly obvious. Whether you're sending emails at 5AM or taking two-month sabbaticals, remember: there's no prize for following someone else's blueprint. Your business should energize you, not drain you.

The desire to share life with a partner doesn't just disappear when we choose to start our families on our own. And it doesn't have to. Today's new episode is a beautiful reminder that both things can be true: you can want motherhood and partnership, and you don't have to give up one to have the other.At 35, Erin Russell was faced with the hard realization that her family line would end with her if she didn't pursue parenthood soon, so she started seriously considering solo motherhood. But right as she was preparing to begin fertility treatments, life threw her a curveball — she met someone.Erin was clear about what she wanted and gave the relationship space to grow. But when it became obvious they weren't aligned on having kids, she made the powerful decision to walk away. She ordered donor sperm the very next day.Becoming a mom didn't erase Erin's hope of sharing life with a partner. Just two months after her son was born, she started dating again — not out of pressure or urgency, but as a way to reconnect with herself, enjoy adult time, and stay open to love.Now that her son is two and she's happily in a relationship that feels like the right fit, Erin reflects on what it's been like to still want partnership as a solo mom by choice, and how she's navigating love, parenting, and a changing sense of identity all at once.In this episode, we talk about:How Erin knew it was time to pursue solo motherhoodThe challenges of navigating IUI, IVF, and insurance hurdlesWhy "just surviving" the newborn stage isn't enough, and how building a support system made all the differenceThe guilt and reality of sending your baby to daycare as a solo momDating as a solo mom: why Erin started early, how she set her own pace, and what she looked for in a partnerHow she's weaving her new relationship into her solo mom lifeAnd why the grief of doing it alone doesn't just disappear once your baby arrivesWhether you're considering solo motherhood, already parenting, or wondering if dating might fit into your life someday, Erin's story is full of honesty, hope, and real-world encouragement for wherever you are on the path.Want to connect with Erin Russell?Follow Erin on InstagramCheck out Erin's writingRead Erin's article on SMBCs (featuring me as an interviewee!)
