What if your relationship struggles aren’t just personal—but shaped by the systems you live in? Akilah Riley Richardson returns to explore how systemic trauma quietly shapes our relationships, nervous systems, and sense of self. Drawing from her work with marginalized couples, she introduces the concept of relational privilege and explains why healing cannot be separated from the social systems we live in. Together, Akilah and Sue challenge traditional Western therapy models, discuss the importance of “responsible externalizing,” and explore how therapists can create space for grief, imagination, and genuine connection instead of trying to fix what cannot simply be solved. “The experiences of marginalized people are often devalued even by helping professionals, and this text is my dedication to carving a space where we, as practitioners, can ensure that we are of service in a way that is rooted in the realities of our people. It is also a reflection of my obligation to marginalized couples and individuals. My sincere wish for them all is that they are never harmed in therapy but instead uplifted. ” – Akilah Riley-Richardson Time Stamps for The Hidden Weight of Systemic Trauma: How Oppression Shapes Our Relationships with Akilah Riley-Richardson (306) 02:05 The systemic trauma faced by marginalized couples 04:12 Barriers for global south therapists and voices 08:00 Fear, threat, and navigating space as a marginalized person 09:57 Relational privilege and systemic influence 12:03 The role of colonial Christianity in systemic trauma 17:50 The danger of model dogmatism in therapy 20:06 Neurobiological threat and systemic trauma 22:02 Practicing responsible externalizing in therapy 26:07 The grief of systemic trauma and loss 28:04 The limitations of evidence-based models 29:58 The need for imagination and community in healing 31:47 The concept of lostness and liminality in trauma 34:06 The danger of attachment to models and frameworks 35:59 Differentiating systemic from relational reality 38:10 Yoruba and indigenous healing traditions 41:59 The influence of colonialism and imperialism on therapy 43:53 Acknowledge systemic trauma in therapist self-awareness 49:57 Habits of survival and internalized oppression 51:52 The impact of systemic trauma on body and mind About our Guest – Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP is a dedicated therapist, educator, and researcher with several years of experience.

AI can make your work faster, cleaner, and more impressive. But can it also create an illusion of competence—improving the output while the judgment, expertise, and original thinking underneath it stop developing?In this special episode of The Good Leadership Podcast, Charles Good speaks with bestselling author and globally recognized business thinker Dorie Clark about what it takes to win the long game in an AI-driven world.Dorie explains why the abundance of information is making human attention increasingly scarce and why leaders must differentiate through clarity, a distinctive perspective, and ideas grounded in real experience. She also discusses the lasting value of trusted relationships, reciprocity, personal branding, visibility, and becoming known for something meaningful.The conversation explores why many capable leaders are working harder while feeling less confident about their futures, how short-term wins can conceal long-term capability erosion, and why AI-generated polish should never be confused with genuine expertise.Dorie also shares practical guidance for:Using AI as a thinking partner rather than a thinking substituteDeveloping judgment through deliberate practice and reflectionInvesting AI-created time in skills, relationships, and strategic assetsBuilding a visible platform and recognizable point of viewKnowing when to persist and when to repositionTaking small actions that compound over five or ten yearsThe episode also examines the potential for AI to transform healthcare and human longevity—and why the biggest opportunities may emerge when technological innovation is paired with distinctly human judgment and relationships.Dorie Clark teaches executive education at Columbia Business School and is the bestselling author of The Long Game, Reinventing You, Stand Out, and Entrepreneurial You. She has been named four times to the Thinkers50 list of the world's leading business thinkers.

Let's be brutally honest: if we stripped the logo off your manufacturing or engineering website, would your buyers have any idea who you are? Or are you indistinguishable from your competitors? Pragmatic engineers love to believe that simply listing capabilities like "NDT inspection" or "pressure testing" makes them special. It doesn't. In this episode of Digital Marketing From The Coalface, Dave and Julie rip into the boring, copy-paste marketing plaguing the B2B sector. Learn why you need to stop hiding behind your spec sheets and start "derisking" the sale for your buyers by stealing a brilliant psychological safety trick straight from the Lexus playbook. But the controversy doesn't stop at your homepage. We take aim at the search giant itself, asking the million-dollar question: Is Google Ads spending your marketing budget like a drunken sailor? Dave shares a rage-inducing reality check about how Google plays "fast and loose" with your cash, charging for completely irrelevant clicks like "Philippines web design" when you're trying to target UK industrial buyers. If you are tired of blending in and sick of digital ad waste, tune in to fix the leaks and finally give your B2B brand a spine.

In episode 379 of The Physical Performance Show, host Brad Beer and Pogo Physio physiotherapist Tim Studley continue their three-part expert series on bone stress injuries by shifting the focus from training errors to the biological factors that determine whether an athlete's skeleton can tolerate training demands. This episode explores the critical role of energy availability, bone health, recovery, and risk stratification in both preventing and diagnosing bone stress injuries. Brad shares practical screening strategies developed over two decades of clinical practice, explaining why identifying the underlying cause—not just treating the injury—is essential for long-term athletic performance and injury prevention. Show Sponsor: PILLAR Performance is leading a new frontier in sports nutrition through micronutrition innovation. Their new Collagen Repair formula, developed in collaboration with Gelita Laboratories, is designed to support tendon and ligament health while promoting collagen synthesis to help athletes stay healthy and perform at their best.

In this episode, you'll hear Why biological factors may contribute more to bone stress injuries than training load alone The long-term consequences of early sport specialisation and why multi-sport participation builds a stronger skeleton Medical conditions and medications that can compromise bone health and increase injury risk Why low energy availability (RED-S) is one of the biggest contributors to bone stress injuries Practical screening questions clinicians should ask to identify athletes who may be under-fuelling The relationship between training volume, mood, gastrointestinal symptoms, sleep, life stress and bone health Female-specific indicators including menstrual irregularities and amenorrhoea Male-specific indicators including reduced libido and changes in morning erectile function Why blood tests, iron status, vitamin D and hormone profiles provide valuable clues to athlete health The importance of working with sports dietitians to optimise energy availability and performance Common locations of bone stress injuries throughout the lower limb and pelvis How injury location can provide clues to whether biomechanics or under-fuelling is the primary driver Understanding high-risk versus low-risk bone stress injury sites and why blood supply matters Practical assessment strategies including observation, palpation and functional loading tests When hop testing is appropriate—and when it should be avoided Clinical pearls for distinguishing bone stress injuries from other common running injuries Quotes / takeaways "Training loads the skeleton—but biology determines whether the skeleton can cope." "Eat more than you think you need." "The biggest driver of bone stress injuries is often invisible." "Above the knee, think fuelling. Below the knee, think biomechanics."

Defending Against Child Abuse Accusations: The Critical Role of Experts and PreparationPart 2 of this conversation with Mark Satawa.The conversation focuses on the intricate challenges of defending cases involving allegations of abusive head trauma and child abuse, particularly those hinging on complex medical evidence.A key theme that emerges is the necessity of thorough preparation, including gathering exhaustive timelines, complete medical records, and independent radiology reviews to fully understand the facts before developing a defense strategy.The discussion explores the crucial role of expert witnesses, highlighting that success depends not just on consulting experts but on finding the right kinds of experts tailored to each unique case.One concept is the danger of allowing ego—whether from doctors or lawyers—to impede objective analysis and best practices in trial preparation. Several points are raised, including the hurdles posed by entrenched medical dogma, the importance of alternative explanations, and the reality that focus groups and mock trials can be invaluable tools for testing strategies before going to court.The episode ultimately serves as both a cautionary and instructive guide for defense attorneys and clients facing emotionally charged, medically complex allegations, emphasizing the need for purpose-driven, detail-oriented advocacy from the very beginning of a case.Moments00:00 Describing the alleged injury report03:59 Defending against accusations in court08:04 Egos in high-stakes legal cases11:29 Differentiating between expert advice14:46 Child abuse pediatrician controversy16:18 Creating detailed client timelines22:30 Radiology's role in expert vetting23:48 Defending child abuse cases29:27 Discussing shaken baby syndrome cases31:38 Discussing alternative explanations34:08 Consulting on legal cases nationwide38:53 Using biomechanical engineers in cases41:35 Planning focus group sessions45:42 Legal defense strategy planning49:25 Prosecutorial misconduct in appeals51:43 Discussing legal guidance for accusations53:42 Importance of being preparedFAQ'sHow do defense lawyers build a strong case in child abuse or abusive head trauma trials?Defense lawyers gather extensive timelines, complete medical records (including original radiology), thorough discovery annotations, and detailed narratives before engaging expert analysis. This thorough, step-by-step approach ensures they discover alternative explanations and prepare a compelling defense based on facts rather than assumptions.Why is it important to use the right experts in shaken baby syndrome legal cases?Using the right experts is crucial because each case may require different specialties (like pediatric neuroradiologists, ER doctors, or biomechanical engineers), and only properly matched experts can challenge the prosecution's medical claims and present credible alternative explanations. The podcast explains that employing the wrong expert or too few experts often leads to convictions, while properly chosen expert teams can result in acquittals.What common mistakes lead to wrongful convictions in abusive head trauma cases?Common mistakes include failing to secure all medical evidence, relying on insufficient or poorly matched experts, and forming theories before gathering complete information. These errors, often stemming from ego or lack of preparation, can cause lawyers to miss viable defenses and lead to wrongful convictions and failed appeals.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

If you're still spray-and-praying, this episode hands you the megaphone—with exactly what to say.Jeff Mains also announces the evolution of SaaS Fuel into Futureproof Founder, a show dedicated to helping founder-led companies build and last in a changing world.Key Takeaways00:00 Podcast journey and personal growth04:14 Understanding Sustainable Company Growth06:44 Starting the Spring Drive agency11:26 Differentiating and refining campaign strategy15:21 Thinking About AI Personalization18:07 Building trust in outbound marketing20:53 The pitfalls of personalization marketing23:12 Understanding Messaging in Sales Funnels27:07 Importance of message market fit32:18 Optimizing marketing and sales offers33:45 Email testing best practices37:38 Rethinking market segmentation40:24 Understanding Email Deliverability44:13 Conveying product simplicity48:42 Evaluating Messaging and Offers52:26 Show wrap-up and special announcement53:54 Podcast format and episode topicsTweetable Quotes“If your outbound message looks like everyone else's, expect nothing but silence.”“Real personalization means offering what they truly want—not just what you found on LinkedIn.”“The tools don't cook the meal, you do.

OCD isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about understanding the parts beneath them In the third and final part of our OCD series, expert Melissa Mose explores the complexities of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), discussing evidence-based treatments like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy can complement traditional approaches. Drawing from both professional expertise and personal experience, Melissa shares practical strategies for navigating OCD, while highlighting the roles of self-leadership, compassion, and understanding the different “parts” that influence thoughts, fears, and behaviors. “ERP has been shown to be the most effective treatment.

Tanner Mullen (founder of DripJobs) returns to the Painter Growth Podcast for one of his most tactical conversations yet. Mike Workman and Tanner dig into why software is becoming commoditized, why education and service are the real moats, and how AI is reshaping what it means to run a painting business in 2025.Tanner breaks down his new product, Routimize, a route-optimization booking system that lets customers book themselves directly from Facebook at peak intent, eliminates wasted drive time, and is already live in 36 beta companies. He explains why he's "done with leads," how the illusion of choice drives take rates, and how the same engine now powers an AI voice agent that books appointments end-to-end on nights and weekends.If you're a painting contractor trying to build an income-producing asset instead of a job, this episode is your playbook.⏱️ Timestamps below.00:00 Intro: Tanner Mullen returns00:32 Why it's the best time ever to be in business01:17 Using AI to automate the boring stuff01:52 Building an income-producing asset02:46 Risk-takers vs. people who wait04:03 The guy who asked for a free trial 4 years apart04:29 Developing the investor mindset05:13 Why DripJobs killed free trials05:33 Software is becoming commoditized06:24 Why education & service are the real moat06:53 Knowing the problem vs. implementing the change07:37 Building a department just for free training07:59 The four quadrants: urgent vs. important09:06 Time management is the #1 scaling skill09:26 Five recommended CEO calendars by business stage10:31 How AI changed software development for DripJobs11:37 Differentiating yourself in a gold rush12:13 Early-mover leverage & filing the patent13:18 Trust as a moat: protecting customer data14:13 Personal brand leverage in software15:02 Killer AI use case: instant custom proposals16:30 Staying focused as a product leader (no shiny objects)17:03 DripJobs' biggest bottleneck: offline mode & V217:41 What Routimize actually does18:03 The origin of DripJobs & speed to lead18:51 Why request systems still create friction19:42 How Routimize filters territory & enables VAs20:37 Building friction to get the right bookings20:58 Booking direct from Facebook with an AI chatbot21:46 "I don't want leads anymore"22:40 36 companies in beta23:14 The illusion of choice & booking rates24:17 Live demo: booking inside the service zone25:34 Propagating the best appointment time26:24 How much time it saves per salesperson27:00 The Calendly for service businesses27:20 Bulk routing for project managers28:19 Tanner the "time dealer"28:37 Customer experience & shortening the buying cycle29:55 On-the-way texts with real drive-time ETAs30:47 The Google Maps API cost reality31:05 Voice AI: booking calls on nights & weekends32:37 Why callers prefer to book by phone33:36 Reassuring admins this won't replace them35:10 Solving a problem that shouldn't exist35:38 Will Routimize beat DripJobs?

Dana and Daniel built a viral comedy series out of their real polyamorous relationship — and the result is funnier, messier, and more honest than most people expect. On this episode, Natalie and Christopher sit down with the duo behind The Poly Couple to talk about what actually happens when you turn your love life into content: the boundaries that hold it together, the jealousy that has to be worked through (not avoided), and the friendship that makes the whole thing possible. This isn't a polyamory 101 lecture.

In this episode of Great Practices, I'm joined by…myself…as I talk about how you can run your career like a business without quitting your job. Here's why this is a bit of a different episode. I was recently asked to speak at the Atlanta PMI Event. One of my favorites topics to talk about is how you can act like an entrepreneur within a large company, something I like to call an Intrapreneur. Why is this such a relevant topic? Differentiating yourself as a project manager or PMO Leader is critical in this economy and that's what I discuss during this presentation. You'll learn how applying the principles of Operations, Marketing, Sales and Finance to yourself personally will help you treat your career as a business that always has plenty of customers. One caveat…this is a dinner meeting so you're going to hear plates and forks and knives in the beginning, but it settles down as the presentation continues. And, if you'd like to watch the presentation along with the slides, you'll be able to find the link in the show notes. I hope you enjoy the episode.

Most people think revenue leadership begins after product-market fit. Rob Witmer joined Onyx Security before there was a finished product, before the company emerged from stealth, and before the market fully understood the problem they were solving.In this episode, Rob shares what revenue leadership looks like when you're employee number 11 and the first go-to-market hire. We unpack how he approached the first 30, 60, and 90 days, why experienced sales leaders can create leverage long before a company reaches its first million dollars in revenue, and how close alignment between product and go-to-market execution accelerated Onyx's growth.Rob explains how the team validated market demand for AI-agent security, how they handled customer objections when the category was still emerging, and why transparency became a competitive advantage when selling as an early-stage company. He also shares the characteristics he looks for when hiring early-stage sellers, why recruiting is one of the most important responsibilities in revenue leadership, and how speed and low-friction execution became core principles inside Onyx.The conversation also explores the realities of scaling a cybersecurity company in a rapidly changing market, the influence of Israeli startup culture on execution speed, and why outcomes matter more than features when communicating value to customers.The Cyber Go-To-Market Talk is the show for cybersecurity sales leaders, founders, CROs, and go-to-market operators looking to improve cyber sales performance and build more predictable revenue growth. Hosted by Andrew Monaghan, founder of Unstoppable.do, covering cyber sales leadership, revenue leadership, sales onboarding, forecasting, pipeline generation, and cybersecurity go-to-market execution.About the guest: Rob Witmer is in his 26th year in software, roughly 20 of them as an individual contributor before moving into leadership.

When a rare disease suddenly dominates headlines, questions spread quickly and so does anxiety. Over the past few weeks, hantavirus has re-entered the national conversation, leaving many families wondering how concerned they should be. For pediatricians, moments like this can be challenging as they balance public concern with clinical reality, and help families navigate information that is often incomplete, alarming or misleading. In this episode, we take a closer look at hantavirus through an evidence-based pediatric lens including what it is, how transmission occurs, who is truly at risk and what clinicians should know when these questions inevitably enter the exam room.  To create clarity, we are joined by Samuel Dominguez, MD, PhD and Justin Searns, MD. Dr. Dominguez is the Medical Director of the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory, as well as the Associate Medical Director of Infection Control and Prevention at Children's Hospital Colorado. Dr. Searns specializes in pediatric infectious diseases and hospital medicine. Both of these experts teach at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.  Some highlights from this episode include: Differentiating the types of hantaviruses based on rodent and region  Outlining the current status of the cruise ship outbreak  Tips and tricks for talking with worried families  The potential impact on patients   For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Voice is so loud because we spent so much time listening to it, we have had way more experience listening to the fear instead of listening to our intuition, and that may be because just of the life that you've had prior to this. Lesley Logan 0:17  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 1:00  Hello, Be It babe. Hi. Welcome back to our Listen to Yourself series. I'm so happy you're here. Okay, so if you missed Tuesday's episode, you're gonna probably want to hear that one, because it does talk about what is our intuition. What is listening to ourselves? And then also, why is it so freaking hard? And by the way, after listening to all the different reasons it's hard, it's an I'm actually shocked any single one of us can listen to our intuition at all. So I also shared some stories about different times I listened to mine and didn't listen to mine. And I just want to say thank you to all of you who shared your takeaways from that episode. It really means so much to me. You know, it's I record these alone in a room and talking to myself. So I really appreciate when you all share how the episodes affected you, or takeaways and wins and things like that. So questions you have that answer those on Thursday episodes, wins and aha moments, I'll share on Friday episodes, but today we're talking about the tools to help you listen to yourself better. Listen to your intuition better. So sources for this information will be in the show notes. But I have to say, this is kind of fun. There's lots of different things. So here's the deal my, Be It babe. I know that it's easy to try to do all the things at once, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask you to pick a couple of these things that sound good and the ones that don't immediately sound easy for you, just ditch them. Save them for later. Give them to a friend, right? Please. My overachievers who are listening, who are in recovery, don't try to do them all. Lesley Logan 2:20  Okay? So some of these might sound redundant as we go through, but know that sometimes we hear same thing in slightly different way. It kind of makes a little more sense to us. So here we go. How do we hear our intuition better? Calm the mind? Use meditation or breathing techniques to quiet the noise. So I will say I love doing breath work, or I like a guided meditation. I know that sounds opposite of listening to yourself, but if you just have music playing for me and I have to just sit still, I'm gonna tell you right now my mind ain't quiet. I kind of need someone that's like, look at this cloud. Watch this thing, right? That's kind of my MO. So if you're like that, find guided meditations or breath work. If you haven't read the book, Breath, that is one of my favorite books of all time to recommend. So I highly recommend it. Okay, tune into the body. So pay attention to physical sensations such as a sense of lightness aligned like an alignment, or a sense of thinking or tightening feeling like not aligned. So lightness is going to fill a line, tightening is not going to fill a line. And that means you're going to have to start body scanning, right? So you might do this one time a day. Maybe you do it in the morning, or you do it at night, to start to just notice where you already feel tight or where you don't feel tight, and so you can know yourself. Because, sometimes it's like a doctor might ask, Oh, how long have you feeling like that? You're, oh, I actually don't know. So it is if you're going to tune into the body, which I highly recommend you do, finding ways to make that a habit. I use this. I use OPC to help our members with this. I use Pilates for myself. So when you do the 100 is going to feel different each and every time you do it, depending on what time of day you do it, depending on what happened the day before, how you slept, all that information, and that is a way to tune into your body. So for me, body scanning I only do when I'm trying to fall asleep, to be completely honest, or if I'm in a breath work that's guided, they're like, pay attention. I've truly used my Pilates to go because I do the same exercises. And I'm oh, I could get more out of that, right? That is a great way to feel what feels light and what doesn't feel light so that I can kind so that when I feel lightness, I know I'm in alignment when I feel tightness and making a decision, I feel like I'm not. So that can be helpful, but that takes time, so just be nice to yourself about learning how to feel alignment and business alignment in your body. Lesley Logan 4:34  Pause and reflect instead of reacting immediately to emotions. Pause to see if the feeling is a panic response or calm, enduring insight. So this is interesting, right? As an ADHD person whose brain goes 17 miles ahead of most people, I am like, let's take instant action, and then, of course, I'll regret how quickly I made a decision, not that the decision is a regret, but how I handled it. Right? So something I am trying to work on is just like, take a moment. Why am I upset? What am I wanting to have happen? What might be all the different ways I could have that happen? And then in taking that pause, it really lets me feel what my inner knowing is actually trying to tell me, which is, you're actually not upset about this thing, you're upset about this thing, and it's coming out here. I think that that takes that also just takes time. So I also wanted to find out, does intuition sound like something? Because if we're going to hear it, what does it sound like? Right? So intuition often feels like a calm, quiet and immediate inner knowing or gut feeling that provides certainty without logical explanation, which is different than anxious thoughts, which are frantic and fearful. True intuition is neutral, steady and frequently experiences a physical sensation, such as a quiet, grounded insight, a sinking feeling, or a sudden, clear, non emotional, not joy. I think it might not have an actual sound to it, but it has from all this research. It doesn't feel you don't feel uneasy when you're listening to your intuition. It feels this is so normal and natural. I think that will help if those, for those of you who are getting having a hard time differentiating between gut intuition and anxiety, right? Lesley Logan 6:20  So trusting your intuition involves cultivating inner quiet paying attention to bodily sensations. Those are somatic markers. We have some, had some great somatic guests on the show, like Lauren Zoeller, so definitely listen to her episodes. If you want to dive into somatics more, you got to practice the intuition in low stake situations. So that's going to be helpful, because we don't want to be making our first decision on a high stakes situation, you got to is it going to the gym, right? It's like a muscle. So key methods for listening to your intuition are going to be in meditation, journaling and slowing down. That's going to help you distinguish that feelings from fear by identifying physical signs like tension or calm and validating past experiences. You can build confidence in your intuition. And I, will say, you know how I get on every guest I'm like, if you're gonna tell us how to journal, what are we journaling about? And I think this is where, if you are trying to listen to your gut more, maybe the journaling is a form of question, why do I feel that way? Why is this coming up? What? How does this make me feel? Where do I feel this in my body? Then you can, you know, write it out, and that can be really helpful. So asking yourself questions based on the gut instinct that you're feeling that might help you discover if it's truly from you, if it's from fear. I can't I mean, slowing down. Oh my god, right. So as I said, there's gonna be a few more here that might sound the same, but we're talking about a different way that might help you. Lesley Logan 7:41  So widening your mind, reducing mental noise, or meditation and deep breathing, or spending time in nature to better hear your voice. So I love this suggestion, because I don't think people get on nature enough. If you've read the book The Artist's Way she has, you go on artist dates, and sometimes it's like just taking your shoes off and walking in grass, right? I think that that can be really helpful. And so if you have a hard time quieting your mind, maybe that's what you're practicing. Listening to your body. We talked about that tightness versus the ease. Journaling daily, we talked about that this is really good. Write down your thoughts and hunches to uncover patterns in your thinking and recognize your intuition has guided you correctly. So taking a legal pad of paper and just writing out what's on your mind, you'll recognize patterns quickly, because, especially if you force yourself to do three pages, here's what happens. Some of you guys are overthinking your thoughts and just gonna say, don't even try to read your writing. Just write. Right? David Corbin will say, close your eyes and just write. But, I think that some people could overthink the journaling, which means you're not quieting your mind. You're not going to get your intuition, but just writing. And what I found when I was doing The Artist's Way page is I found why I was inactive in a lot of decisions, because I was I had so much fear, but I wasn't able to articulate that. And I've been feeling that in my body, but I couldn't get it to my brain. And so it really helped me go, oh, this is what I'm afraid of. Okay, well, is that gonna happen? How could that happen? How can I avoid that happening? Okay, now I can make the decision, right? So you're gonna practice with easy decisions to build trust by following your gut on small daily choices such as, what to eat or who to reach out to. So we're not making big decisions on your job or your relationship. You're just like, hmm, I feel like having a sandwich right now. Okay, let's go have a sandwich right now. Was that? Was that your intuition, right? Like reaching out to a friend? Oh, I feel I should call this person, call them, or at least text them, right? Try that out. Lesley Logan 9:30  So this one is a little bit. Might be a little woo-woo. Okay. But if you read the book E-Squared, you'll, you won't think it. So use the body sway test. Stand up, relax and think of a decision. Feel if your body moves forward, that's a yes or backward, that's a no. My girlfriend, she wanted to see if she if I was drinking something, and she was like, oh, I wonder if that would work for me. And so she closed her eyes, she held it in her hand, and she's like, will this help me? And then her body leaned forward. I watched it happen. I swear to God, so that could be helpful, right? Some other key practices to strengthen your intuition. So, getting quiet, and this means getting in nature or quiet for 10 to 15 minutes daily. I know that's a lot, because, you know that's 1% of your day, so just keep that in mind. Notice physical sensations. I think a lot of us are really not connected to our bodies, which is why I'm such a passionate person about having a consistent Pilates practice, but noticing physical sensations, right? Being able to really notice, oh, my feet are cold right now, or you know just what's going on your body? There's things that are changing all the time.Lesley Logan 10:30  Differentiating from fear. So in Tuesday's episode, we talked about how like, fear can also say it's intuition. So intuition is generally calm and patient and persistent, whereas anxiety feels urgent and chaotic, intense, trusting, small signals. So this is really, this is where I find, like, My intuition is the most helpful. And once I start to notice these, I start to notice bigger ones, but small signals that something just something's going on. You're like, oh, you know, that's what a hunch, right? What a hunch. I'm going to follow that hunch, and then that way, with these little signals, we actually can actually lead to bigger decisions without waiting for the big gut instinct. Like, you should do this, right? Some people do a coin flip method. That's not something I would love, but, it might help you, right? Because, I think if you put a head, I'm going to do this, tails, let me do this, and then it flips. You're like, oh, it's tails. Well, that tells you what you really wanted. You wanted a head. So go to the heads. And then visualize outcomes. Imagine living with each option for a few days to see which brings a sense of peace or relief. And I think that also is helpful for understanding how you feel when your gut instinct is telling you to do something. What does ease feel like in your body? It might feel different than what it feels like for me, right? And then clean up emotions. Suppressed emotions can block intuitive signals, so acknowledge and process fear and anxiety clear the wave for clearer and quieter and more confident guidance. And so I think that that's important. I think a lot of us have a lot of bottled up emotions, which I like to do breath work because or exercise, because you can just, like, emotions just leave the body. Oh my gosh. If you were like, why did I cry in that workout today? Because it wanted to get out. It wanted to get out. And you got to stop suppressing these things because it's clogging up your channels through your intuition. Lesley Logan 12:14  So, in thinking about intuition, I was just thinking about okay, there's obviously a confidence thing here. And if you don't have confidence, you often have doubt, right? So like, how do we how do we figure out how to overcome doubt? And so I think this requires all of us, high achieving, busy people, to slow down, because your busy schedule can mask the intuition because you're not creating space to even hear it. So I'm not saying quit things. I'm not saying stop doing things. What I'm saying is how can you say no to some things, like, look at your schedules, or anything you can, like, take off of it this week. What pressures are you doing? It makes it really easy to start feeling what you're feeling, which means getting into your intuition. Also, I think another thing you can journal about that will help you overcome doubt is recalling past times your hunch was right. I think you need a little have, not a burn book, but some sort of wins hunch book where you put any hunches you followed on and then they were right. That's going to help with the confidence that you need to overcome the doubt that is this my intuition, or is this fear, right? And then being patient, developing trust in your intuition, takes time and consistency, and it is particularly going to take time if you're an overthinker, right? Just something to keep reminding yourself about, because I get it like I have so many things I want to do, I have so many things I care about. And the reality is, I'm one human being, and I can only do so much in a day. And if I'm too busy, I'm missing out on on picking up on things that might just be the best way to dial this way or that way, that can change the course of the impact I want to make. Right? Sometimes we just get on a path and we're doing the we're following the directions, this is the path I made, and I'm here, I'm going to just follow this path. And then there's like, Hey, do you want this path over here? And you're like, I'm too busy to see that ding. And it's like, hey, do you want to see this path over here? It's going to get you there fast. And you're like, Oh, this is the path. Because I'm too busy. I'm not thinking about it, right? Lesley Logan 14:13  I also wanted to give you some prompts for your journal that will help you when it comes to our intuition. So here they are, and we'll have these in the blog, in the show notes, so you can just copy and paste them. What is my body trying to tell me right now? You can even ask. I'll just give you a little second. We can hit pause. What is my body trying to tell me right now? If I were to trust myself completely, what would I do? Would you do anything differently? I would trust myself completely. What would I do? What is the gut feeling I have about blank and why? So if you're like, I don't hear my gut she's not talking to me. Well, what do you think the gut feeling is about that thing? Why do you think that what is one thing I know to be true? So even if I cannot logically explain it, what is one thing I know to be true? And I think that's helpful, it's almost like, oh, that I know that to be true, and it feels like this in my body. So if it feels like this, and this thing over here I'm thinking about feels the same, even if I don't have logic for it, then I then they can both. The feelings are the same, so they can both be true. What does my inner voice feel like? Is it a sound, a feeling or a vision? I think this is helpful, because I hear it as a voice, right? But some of you are more kinesthetic, and you feel it, or you hear some sort of sound. I know people that there's a scent that they'll smell, and then they'll literally, when they hear it, when they smell that scent, they'll stop, and they'll listen to themselves, and they'll actually hear their intuition. And then the scent doesn't fit anywhere. So for example, let's say the scent is Jasmine. There'll be no jasmine plant around, but they smelled Jasmine, and then they paid attention to what they were thinking, and that was how they did it. Or is it a vision? Can you see it happening in your brain playing out? So some more prompts. Recall a time you ignored your gut and what happened. So that helps you figure out what the signs are. Recall a time you trusted your intuition. What was that outcome? When do I most feel in touch with my inner voice? What am I doing when I feel the most in touch with my inner voice, that will help you go and find it. Maybe it's like, oh, when I walk outside, well, then that helps you, because then if you need to hear it and make a decision, and you're like, I don't want to do get the hell outside, right? What is one fear that stops me from listening to my intuition? What is one fear that stops me from listening to my intuition? Like, what are you afraid of? If you listen to it? Isn't it so interesting how when we like call out our fear and we actually say it out loud, how silly it sounds? Lesley Logan 16:47  All right, how can I honor my needs today? Another prompt for your journal. How can I honor my needs today? What does the best version of myself need to know today? That's a be it till I see it. What is the best version of myself need to know today? What feels heavy or forced right now? What feels light and flowing right now? And then you can complete the sentence I am ready for link. Lesley Logan 17:15  And then last thing I just want to leave you with is different ways to journal, because I know you. I know you, and that's why I it on our guests, like, you can't just say journal. You have to tell them what to journal about. So I gave you those prompts, but you can do free writing. I talked about that's like The Artist's Way, or what David Corbin does, just like writing. What's like just going just write your thoughts. Or you can do more of a set the scene type thing. So you create a quiet space. You take a few deep breaths, and you use your journal to remove distractions. So you're probably gonna have more of a prompt there. But you're gonna take a quiet time, ask yourself the question, take some deep breaths. But set the scene. For me, I will just write anywhere some people need to go, in their writing corner that's setting the scene, and then you have to review. So in The Artist's Way, you don't read the notes back, but if you're doing the book during one of the weeks closer to the end, you do go back, and she has you look for certain words to see what the patterns are, and that's going to help you understand the recurring themes, words or feelings. When you do that, that helps you realize your gut is talking to you and that your intuition is there, it makes it easier for you to listen to it in the future without that. Lesley Logan 18:26  So think I want to just leave you with this building trust. Building up that trust to listen to your intuition, it's necessary to pause so you can distinguish between the true intuitive calm and the loud, reactive fear. And I really do think that some of the reasons why so many of us have a hard time listening to our intuition, aside from what society's pressures are, is that the fear voice is so loud because we spent so much time listening to it, we have had way more experience Listening to the fear instead of listening to our intuition, and that that may be because just of the life that you've had prior to this. And I need you to give yourself kindness and grace, and I need you to consider getting help around that, some professional help. If journaling for you like, I've journaled all this. Lesley, this is stupid, great, then you might need some help. And if you I've had help, get different help, right? Because I can say confidently that at the times I've listened to my intuition, they've always led me, yes with obstacles, yes with some pain, yes with some frustration, but they've always led me further along and closer to the person I want to be. And I can connect the dots looking back, but I can definitely could not connect the dots when I was in it. There was no logical pattern for how he's gonna get from a point A to point B. Lesley Logan 19:44  This house that we're in, I told people I wanted to move by June 1st. I was like, oh, I live there on June 1st. And they're like, you can't buy a house in nine days. There's always 30 days of extra. Watch me do it. We found a person who wanted to rent to own. Guess what? Move in nine days. Bought the house on our contract to deed, and we did it, you know. And there were so many times when logic was going to say, that's not gonna work out. I just kept trusting, like, what feels right? When I walked in this house, I was like, I don't use any other houses. This is the house. They said. The rooms are exactly where I want them to be. Is it perfect? The outlets are fucking crooked. No, I gotta fix those. But I think that's where using your gut instinct to get yourself like when you trust it, when you can hear it, when you've got that muscle, it really helps you not focus on what logic is saying. Because if I'd focus on logic, then I would have waited probably a couple more months. Maybe we'd more taxes. Then it had been too expensive. We might have moved to Vegas. We wouldn't be able to we wouldn't, we would not be in our neighborhood. I can tell you that right now, and been priced out. We've been in a different neighborhood and have an office somewhere. Lesley Logan 20:48  So I'll just say, maybe the last thing to say is this, be mindful of whose opinions you listen to that let you let talk you in or out of what your gut instinct says. I have some people my life that when they disagree with me, I just lean heavier. I'm like, oh yeah, because you don't like this idea. I know it's a good one, but that might not be you. Maybe if someone says those things to you, you actually doubt yourself. And I would say they don't get to know the decisions that you're making, not until you get stronger at it. You're amazing. I hope that these two episodes on intuition are helpful. We have ina next week talking about listening to your body to heal yourself. And we're going to keep these amazing series going. If you have more topics, or you want me to dive in even deeper, you have a question, send it in, because that question could end up becoming a two episode series that we dive into and that could lead into a guess all that kind of stuff. Don't keep it to yourself. How can we help you be it till you see it if we don't know what you're trying to be it till right, all right. Thanks so much. And until next time, be it till you see it. Lesley Logan 21:49  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

You will hear a challenging conversation about why the church is called to a life of persuasion rather than compulsion, and how we can engage in the public square without being malformed by bitterness or partisan tribalism.From the ethics of voting to the historical development of just war theory, this interview provides a robust framework for anyone looking to deepen their theological understanding of politics. Whether you are feeling disillusioned by modern headlines or looking for a better way to love your neighbor, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on the present and coming kingdom of God.Chapters:0:00 Intro4:15 The malformation of news and media8:20 Introducing guest Dr. Lee Camp11:15 Exploring the No Small Endeavor project14:30 Lee Camp's background and Anabaptist roots18:15 The radical reformation and church-state power23:10 Theological reasons for separating church and state27:35 Christians participating in government31:45 The ambiguity and ethics of voting36:20 Biblical instructions in a modern democracy39:50 Differentiating patriotism from nationalism45:10 Is America a Christian nation?50:25 The church's role in bearing witness53:40 Just war theory vs. Christian pacifism1:00:15 Resisting political idolatry with grace1:05:30 Where to find Lee Camp's work1:08:00 Outro and how to support VoxologyAs always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

Step into Episode 211 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Ted Golden — Arizona craft beer veteran, former Four Peaks sales director, and founder of AZ Locale Brewing — for a wide-open conversation about what it really takes to leave a 25-year career and bet on yourself. From skateboarding in Southern California and busing tables at a Manhattan Beach boutique hotel to building one of Arizona's most exciting independent beer brands with his wife Stephanie, Ted brings the kind of energy, humor, and hard-won wisdom that makes this one impossible to put down.Ted pulls back the curtain on how a rivalry with San Tan's Anthony Kanekia turned into the opportunity that launched AZ Locale, why he designed every beer at 4.8% ABV (a nod to Arizona being the 48th state), and what it looks like to grind 20 accounts a day as both the owner and the salesperson. Delo and Ted also dig into the real philosophy behind ethical selling, how Ted navigated self-distribution before landing statewide partners including Crescent Crown, and what brewing brands across Arizona need to hear about protecting their backyard before chasing national expansion.If you love craft beer, entrepreneurship, or just a great origin story rooted in Arizona pride, this episode delivers.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 1:30) Freestyle Intro, Ted's Skateboard Tap Handle, and Episode 211 Kickoff(1:31 - 4:44) Running a Business With Your Spouse and Experiencing Arizona Together(4:45 - 7:08) Tommy Boy Sales Philosophy, Joe Dirt, and Taking the Entrepreneurial Leap(7:09 - 10:33) Ted's Origin Story: Southern California, Alpha Beta, Haagen-Dazs, and Barnaby's Hotel(10:34 - 13:05) 22 Years at Four Peaks: Growth, Sales Director, and the Identity of a Brand(13:06 - 16:22) The AZ Locale Birth Story: San Tan's Anthony Kanekia and the Deal That Started It All(16:23 - 18:27) Designing Beer With a Sales Mindset: 4.8% ABV, Food Pairings, and Differentiating in a Crowded Market(18:28 - 21:24) Self-Distribution Hustle: Honda Ridgeline, 100 Draft Accounts, and the Move to Crescent Crown(21:25 - 27:16) Statewide Distribution, Forecasting Logistics, and Always Reinvesting in Your Brand(27:17 - 31:32) The Beer Lineup: Toasty, Cactus Bird, Drafternoon, and What's Coming Next(31:33 - 36:36) Daily Habits, Gym Routines, and Rapid-Fire Questions With "TheOG" Ted Golden(36:37 - 40:36) Arizona Pride, Staying Local, and Where to Find AZ Locale Beer Right Now(40:37 - 42:33) Where to Find Ted, Closing Thoughts, and Delo's Send-Off
