In this episode of 'The Summer of Me', Kendra discusses the societal pressures and guilt women often feel about wanting more in life beyond motherhood. She emphasizes that wanting more—whether it be in terms of career, personal growth, or self-identity—is not only acceptable but necessary for a fulfilling life. Kendra shares her personal experiences and insights on balancing motherhood with ambition, the importance of setting boundaries, and the generational guilt that often holds women back. Ultimately, she encourages listeners to embrace their desires for more and to model this expansion for future generations. takeaways Wanting more is not a dirty word. Women often feel guilty for wanting more in life. Balancing motherhood and personal ambitions is possible. Self-identity should not be solely defined by motherhood. Generational guilt affects women's ambitions. Settling for less leads to resentment. Guilt keeps women small and exhausted. Wanting more does not mean being ungrateful. Role modeling expansion is crucial for children. Embrace your desire for more, even if it's inconvenient.
Think introverts can't sell? Think again. Being the loudest in the room has never been the secret to great sales - being the most attuned to the person you're talking to is. In this solo episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I'm breaking down why introverts are often the best people to crush it in sales - even if they've been told otherwise. If you've ever felt “bad at small talk”, too awkward, or too drained after conversations to be “good at sales,” this one is for you. You'll find out why some of the top performing reps on corporate teams where I worked I were the soft-spoken ones - and how their lowkey style built more trust, faster. Listen in to discover: ✔️ Why being drained by people doesn't mean you're bad at sales - it's a clue to your secret sauce ✔️ The natural superpowers introverts bring to sales (empathy, curiosity, pattern-interrupt energy) ✔️What to do with those non verbal cues you're always picking up on ✔️ How to go deeper in sales conversations without feeling like you're forcing it ✔️ Why introverts often overestimate how bad a call went - and how to fix that ✔️ How to make a sales conversation feel effortless instead of exhausting (hint: structure is your best friend)

Is the relationship between Islam and science as well-developed as it is in Christianity? Not even close—but that's changing. In this episode, Dr. Shoaib Ahmed Malik, Lecturer in Science and Religion at the University of Edinburgh, joins Dru Johnson to share the emerging field of Islam and science, focusing on the hot topic of evolution. Shoaib unpacks the historical development of Islamic engagement with science, tracing it from early encounters with Western scientific frameworks to the present. He explains why the Islamic world lacks infrastructure like textbooks, academic chairs, and journals for the science-religion conversation—and why that's finally beginning to change. But what about evolution? Shoaib shares why it remains a highly sensitive subject in Muslim-majority countries (including stories of professors losing jobs over it) and how Muslim views differ from Christian ones, especially around original sin, Adam, and human suffering. This is an honest, fascinating look at how Muslims are navigating modern science, why cultural and religious taboos persist, and how Shoaib's work is shaping new conversations at the intersection of Islamic theology and science.
