God has not called us to be Christian-ish, but to be Christians who continually evaluate our faith, educate ourselves by studying His Word, and emulate Jesus and others whose lives have been transformed by Him.
Daryl and Lima take calls from fired-up fans pushing back on Daryl's criticism of the social media circus surrounding both Browns quarterbacks, with callers split on whether the film crews are a harmless modern reality or a genuine distraction. Daryl makes his position crystal clear: he likes Shedeur personally, wants him to win the job, but believes anything that isn't purely football right now is a waste of a golden opportunity. With Coach Riz up next to break down who's actually winning the QB battle throw by throw, the stakes couldn't be higher.
Tony Barry and Barrie Cassidy discuss One Nation's successful fundraising drive which raised nearly $3m this week. They look at how the major parties are handling the rise of the rightwing party and where they agree the prime minister made a missstep.

What does it actually mean to abide in Jesus? In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, the fellas talk through John 15, the fruit of the Spirit, religious activity, rebellion, and the difference between doing the right things for the wrong reasons and living from real connection with Christ. This conversation gets honest about anger, family moments, spiritual growth, and the way life reveals what we are truly rooted in. If you have ever wondered whether your faith has become a checklist, or if you are trying to produce fruit instead of remaining connected to the vine, this episode will help bring clarity, conviction, and encouragement.

What happens when a business leader looks completely fine on the surface, but is secretly running on empty behind the scenes? In this episode, Jeannette dives deep into the concept of "silent burnout”, the subtle, creeping exhaustion that happens behind the LinkedIn posts, the boardrooms, and the strategy sessions… You'll Learn Why: Silent burnout is arguably more dangerous than obvious burnout because it aggressively creeps up on you while you appear perfectly successful on the outside. Conducting a regular personal audit across sleep, diet, exercise, social life, and relationships is vital to catching hidden stress early. Implementing the "4Ds" framework (Ditch, Delay, Delegate, Do) is the fastest way to reclaim control over a chaotic calendar. Reconnecting with your core purpose and establishing non-negotiable boundaries is the key to sustaining your health and becoming a better leader for your team and loved ones. This episode is living proof that no matter where you're starting from — or what life throws at you — it's never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

Rory O'Neill, CMO of Checkout.com, doesn't just solve for payments- he's solving for brand preference in a crowded payments space. And he's doing it by competing on what's different, not what others do better. That insight changes everything, from how you position payments to how you build a team that can sustain growth as a challenger. In the latest episode of Scratch, Rory breaks down the playbook that lets Checkout compete with global giants. Brand preference wins 95% of B2B deals before salespeople ever show up- so your marketing owns the invisible 60% of the buyer's journey. Challenger brands win by picking one fight and building culture around it, not chasing everything competitors do. He reveals the three-part formula: focus your core business, build your culture, reinvest profit. Consumer marketing skills-data, insight, action-are B2B's secret superpower. And his rule: if you wouldn't say it at dinner, don't write it in marketing. The key takeaway: Brand preference wins deals - 95% of the time, the brands on the day-one top-five list are the ones that win. B2B buyers spend 60% of their journey before contacting a salesperson. Define your focus as a challenger - Compete on what's different, not on what competitors do better. Checkout only does digital payments to stay focused while competitors spread across multiple business lines. Three elements beat category norms - Focus on your core business, build the human operating system (culture, people, vision), then reinvest capital in new products. Consumer marketer skills are powerful in B2B - Data, insight, action, brand building, and performance marketing from the consumer world unlock B2B success. Understand stakeholder maps - B2B is complex: CTOs influence CFOs, recommenders influence buyers. Map those relationships to win. Simplify your language - Ditch jargon like "frictionless" and "seamless." Use words you'd use at dinner. Marketing becomes more interesting and understood. Marketing is logic and magic - Be both data-driven and creative. Avoid letting fiefdoms kill integrated work. Join everything together.

There's one thing that all of Helena's personal projects have in common: they remain unfinished. The family photo album is empty, as is her mom's recipe book. And the lavender garden is still unplanted. Helena is not lazy. In fact, she's a busy lawyer who has no problem finishing tasks at the office. But she's also a busy mother raising a family, and free time is hard to come by. So how can Helena banish her distractions? On this episode of How To!, the first in a two-part series on time management, we talk to Nir Eyal, author of Indistractable: How To Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life. Nir used to be just as distracted as Helena, but then he figured out some tricks to break free from his stray thoughts. He explains why procrastination isn't a sign of laziness, it's a sign of discomfort. And why it's more important to address your feelings than silence your push notifications.

I talk about why sales calls became such a big thing in the first place and why, despite all the AI tools, automations, funnels, and clever systems available to us, there is still something incredibly powerful about a real conversation. I also share some alternatives if you're looking to reduce the number of calls you're doing. From enquiry forms and voice notes to automated email sequences and AI-assisted sales journeys, there are plenty of ways to create a smoother sales experience. But I also explain why I believe newer business owners should be cautious about skipping discovery calls too soon. Some of your most valuable sales lessons come from hearing people describe their problems in their own words. Ultimately, this isn't really an episode about discovery calls. It's a conversation about connection, about understanding how your buyers make decisions and creating a sales process that works for both of you. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why discovery calls became such a core part of online business The benefits of sales conversations in an increasingly automated world Alternative ways to sell without relying on calls Why discovery calls can be especially valuable early in business When it might make sense to automate parts of your sales process How to decide whether discovery calls fit your audience and offers "Calls are also connection. They're a space that no robot, email, or DM can replace." If discovery calls make you feel like you're waffling, wobbling, or winging it, I've created something to help. Grab a free copy of Let's Disco, my brand-new training designed to help you run discovery calls with more confidence and ease. Step into my festival world...
Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Ditch hourly billing for subscriptions: Billing by the hour incentivizes inefficiency. Subscription and fixed-fee models align attorney success with client outcomes, rewarding speed and quality rather than time spent.* Sharpen your ax: Constantly grinding without pausing to strategize and refresh leads to burnout; taking deliberate time to improve your tools and thinking produces better long-term results.* AI accelerates legal work without replacing judgment: Purpose-built AI tools (like Paxton for legal research, Perplexity for internet research, and NotebookLM for document-based Q&A) drastically reduce the time to deliver high-quality work, but human expertise and context remain essential.* Pricing transparency builds client trust: Publishing your fees, engagement terms, and scope upfront removes friction, reduces client anxiety, and leads to better working relationships and faster conversions.* Context is everything: Whether working with AI tools or advising clients, providing full context yields dramatically better results. Give AI the same rich background you'd give a brilliant first-day employee.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Recently I had a guest on the Sunday Session – an Aussie who was in New Zealand and was loving it. They said everyone here was relaxed, welcoming, and smiled at you on the street. They were really taken aback by the mood here compared with over the ditch. In Australia, they said, it's pretty grim, everyone is down and just getting on with it. I asked how could that be? I thought the Australian weather and amazing lifestyle put everyone in a good mood. They said it had rained all summer. I thought this was an interesting observation, but I was a little bit sceptical. And then I stumbled across an article in the Sydney Morning Herald basically saying satisfaction with life among many Australians is lower now than during the depths of the pandemic, as the cost of living and housing is squeezing people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. The story was based on research released yesterday by consultancy agency KPMG which tracks life satisfaction - whether a person is content with their circumstances, so pretty much what it says on the tin. They discovered life satisfaction is now “substantially lower than it was in the mid-2010s across all age groups, while it has nose-dived among people facing the biggest financial hit.” Those in their 20s and 30s are dealing with high rents or large mortgages, and wealth has flatlined for the sandwich generation as they care for their children and their parents. Everyone is dealing with wages that have not kept up with inflation. Younger people and older people are a bit more satisfied – but not as much as they used to be. The key issue affecting satisfaction is the stress of managing household finances. “More than 21 per cent of people reported they would struggle to raise $2000 in a week for an emergency, while a quarter said they had experienced a cashflow problem in the past year.” It all sounds pretty familiar, doesn't it? And yet, drawn by higher wages and a larger and more diverse job market, Kiwis are still flooding over the ditch. I don't want to turn this into a competition about who is more satisfied with life, but it does make you wonder if we are balancing the scales somewhat? It depends on your priorities, doesn't it? If your priorities are income, career growth, warmer weather, and larger cities, Australia tends to come out ahead. If your priorities are nature, community, outdoor lifestyle, and a slower pace of life, New Zealand often comes out ahead. But one thing to consider —which may suggest we're slightly more satisfied in NZ— is we're not so frustrated with our lives and country that we'd likely consider Pauline Hansen for Prime Minister.

"Mission, Vision and Values" is everywhere in brand strategy. But what if it's not brand strategy at all? If you've ever completed an MVV exercise with a client and then wondered how to actually turn it into branding, this one is for you. I tackle why Mission, Vision and Values belongs in a different strategic discipline and what brand strategy actually needs to do instead, including: • Why MVV produces 'brand narcissism' and leaves the customer out of the conversation • Replaying a founder's values back to them is the easy gap, not the important one • The most common brand values are HR documents in disguise • What a customer-focused brand strategy actually needs to answer Knowing the difference between founder strategy and brand strategy is the upgrade your clients actually need from you.

As most states (sorry, WA and QLD) gear up to celebrate the King's Birthday public holiday tomorrow, some might be asking the question Aussies have been asking themselves for decades; Why are we still living life under the British monarchy? In this bonus episiode of The Briefing, we hear from a republican and a monarchist about their arguments to either leave or stay. This episode was first published in October 2024 as King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in Australia for a royal tour.

In this week's Fear Of Missing Out report, we look at an example of two-tier policing. There is a set of policies for whites and another for everyone else. Is Orange Juice good for you or not? A Democratic candidate for Congress tells why she left the Church. There are now more information out about how the Southern Poverty Law Center was funding racism. It looks like SAT & ACT scores are back for admissions. Scott Pelley is out at CBS as he goes off on his new bosses. We end with this year's list of things left behind in Uber rides.
I didn't know too much about the impressive Johanna Hellrigl before this conversation — a friend suggested I interview her and I intuitively said yes on the spot. And I'm so glad I did! Johanna is the chef and founder behind Ama, an award-winning Northern Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C., and a board member of the Environmental Working Group who is revolutionizing what it means to nourish people — from the way she sources whole ingredients to how she cares for her team to the deeper intention behind every decision she makes. She is building a model of hospitality where indulgence, vitality, sustainability, and community coexist — proving restaurants can drive cultural and systemic change. This woman is doing the work, and you can feel it. Johanna's personal story also really moved me. As a chef, entrepreneur and mother, Johanna shares parts of her life that shaped the way she sees health, intuition, and what it means to truly take care of yourself in a world that can feel overwhelming and confusing. It's a powerful reminder of how much we're capable of when we start to question, listen, and trust ourselves more deeply. Many of us are aware of how to avoid toxins in and around our food at home, but I'll admit eating out was more of a blind spot for me. We get into the hidden plastic crisis lurking in restaurant kitchens, the truth about what's really in your pasta and why it hits so differently in Europe, the seed oil conversation with actual nuance, food waste, and so. much. more. Johanna shares practical swaps you can make today in your own kitchen to reduce your toxic load — no overwhelm, just empowered steps forward. We really covered it all! I left this conversation feeling inspired, grounded, and confident that our bodies are incredibly intelligent — and when we start to listen, everything begins to shift. Key Moments You'll Love ✨ :
On this hump day edition of What's On Your Mind, guest host Greg Steeman fills in for Scott Hennen, who is down at the Avalon Events Center delivering the keynote introduction for mayoral candidate Michelle Turnburg at the "Politics on a Plate" showcase. The clear standout segment of the morning features financial expert David Fisher from Landmark Capital, who breaks down a historic paradigm shift in global banking: for the first time since 1971, central banks are officially favoring physical gold over U.S. government bonds as a tier-one reserve asset. Later in the show, North Dakota Secretary of State Michael Howe and Cass County Commissioner Tim Flakoll step up to demystify upcoming ballot measures and break down why a strict voter ID process separates North Dakota from the chaotic mail-in system used by other states.

The Danger of Low-Turnout Factions: Rick Berg unpacks a troubling reality where a mere 7% voter turnout in state primary cycles allows localized special interest groups to completely override general policy. Measure One and the One-Subject Limit: Secretary of State Michael Howe outlines a critical upcoming constitutional measure designed to stop out-of-state entities from packing multiple unrelated progressive laws into singular ballot petitions. Breaking Down the Check and Balance Structure: Howe answers heavy listener criticisms, explaining how legal counsel from the Attorney General and expedited oversight from the state Supreme Court prevent any single administrative branch from overreaching during an election cycle. Absentee Requests vs. Automatic State Mailings: A crucial lesson on election security, as Secretary Howe explains why North Dakota laws strictly mandate identity verification before any physical ballot can legally leave a county facility. The Historic 177-Vote Defeat: Cass County Commissioner Tim Flakoll walks listeners down a historic memory lane to prove how a single block of localized absentee ballots completely altered a statewide senatorial race. Ring Doorbells and the Extinction of Voter Engagement: Flakoll laughs over modern door-knocking dynamics, lamenting that today's tech-insulated homeowners refuse to engage with local candidates unless they happen to be holding a…
The Car Mom Auto Show is just 10 days away! The ladies are in full prep mode getting everything ready for the big weekend. There will be SO much to see and do at the show and it's not too late to get your tickets. CLICK HERE to get yours! It's been a whirlwind week for Kelly. It all started in Washington D.C. to visit the IIHS headquarters and witness a crash test in real life. She learned so much and had some great conversations with Mazda. Did you know they are the safest cars on the market? Then it was off to brother Craig's engagement party. It was derby themed and the entire family showed up. Let's just say Kris knows how to throw a party! Updates on the podcast for the summer are here, and it's a good news/bad news situation. The bad news? They'll go down to one episode a week. The good news? Side Hustle Summer is BACK! If you've got a side hustle feel free to reach out to Kelly or Lizz. But the biggest podcast update: Has Kelly finished the book she was supposed to read for the podcast book club? The answer will probably not surprise you... Kelly's lack of reading could be because she is fully immersing herself in summer with the family. It might not feel like summer yet, but she's not delaying the summer joy. She bought the watermelon. They started the tie-dyeing. Summer starts NOW! She reveals her family's daily summer schedule on today's podcast. Plus, an easy summer dinner in Ditch the Drive Thru reminds you to unleash the power of the Hawaiian roll sliders.
In this World Cup-themed episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, Matt and Luigi break down what every business owner can learn from sports fans: people don't stay loyal because you asked nicely. They stay because they feel something. Customers buy. Fans come back, talk about you, forgive the occasional screw-up, and send people your way without needing a bribe. That kind of loyalty does not happen by accident. It comes from trust, clear service, strong brand identity, and a customer experience people actually remember. No guest this week. Just Matt, Luigi, World Cup fever, and a very serious question for your business: Would anyone root for you if they didn't have to?

Episode Chapter Summaries Chapter 1: The Rochester Connection & The Johnny Fever Dream (00:00 – 03:51) Anne introduces her longtime friend Tim Powers. They bond over their shared Rochester, NY, background, noting that growing up there fosters a natural sense of grit, humor, and raw honesty. Tim shares his origin story, starting as a kid with a voice that dropped way too early in 1978. Growing up in a massive, hilarious family where you had to be funny just to get noticed, Tim fell in love with radio icons and comedy legends, dreaming of becoming the next Johnny Fever. Chapter 2: The "Clark Kent" Years & Transition to the Improv Stage (03:52 – 08:34) Tim discusses his early years in radio, cueing up vinyl records, learning to think on his feet, and mastering spontaneous communication. However, minimum-wage radio couldn't pay the bills, leading to decades of "Clark Kent" day jobs. In his 30s, a friend dragged him to an improv theater tryout. Despite not being a traditional theater kid, Tim discovered that the improv stage was exactly where he learned structural acting, performance pacing, and the ultimate art of letting go. Chapter 3: The Philosophy of "Yes, And" in Voiceover (08:35 – 12:40) Tim shares his journey moving from his hometown to Los Angeles, training with iconic schools like The Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade, and eventually transitioning back behind the microphone under the mentorship of the late Lori Tritel and animation legend Michael Bell. Anne and Tim unpack the zen philosophy of "Yes, And." They discuss how voice actors spin too many mental plates trying to be perfect, when their only job is to accept the information given to them by the copy and boldly add their own life experiences to it. Chapter 4: Making Bold Choices vs. The Robotic Read (12:41 – 19:28) Anne and Tim challenge the idea of trying to read the casting director's mind. Tim points out that in an industry overflowing with talented talent, the only thing that separates you from a room full of people matching your exact technical specifications is your unique life experience. They look at how improv empowers talent to trust their gut and make fast, definitive character choices rather than hunting for a safe, sterile melody. Chapter 5: The "Dude" Knowledge & Grounding Corporate Narration (19:29 – 23:48) The conversation gets tactical as Anne and Tim explain the power of improvising your lead-ins. Tim demonstrates how a simple lead-in word like "dude" acts as the tip of a massive, subtextual iceberg. They argue that this work isn't just for wacky characters or high-energy commercials; it is also mandatory for all genres, including corporate narration and e-learning. To compete with cheap, perfect AI bots, human actors must bring a developed backstory, a natural breathing arc, and authentic physical transitions to the text. Chapter 6: The Truth About Demo Production & Acting Accountability (23:49 – 33:32) Anne and Tim have a candid, hard conversation about the current state of industry coaching. They address the hard truth that voiceover is a professional acting discipline that cannot be mastered in four to eight short weeks. They discuss their shared responsibility as demo producers, explaining why they refuse to cash a student's check for a demo if that student isn't consistently audition-ready. Tim shares a classic Hollywood story about the legendary "$500 demo trucks" parked outside major studios and warns why decision-makers spot those corner-cutting shortcuts instantly. Chapter 7: Garbage Plates, White Hots, and the Drop-In (33:33 – End) Tim details how talent can train with him via his zero-barrier-to-entry weekly drop-in Zoom workshop, Timprov, and his regular coaching site. The episode wraps up with a hilarious trip down memory lane as Anne and Tim talk classic Rochester culinary staples—including the legendary "garbage plate" hangover cure, Wegmans grocery stores, and Zweigel's white hots—before locking in plans for a future collaborative live-streaming workshop episode. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Acting is reacting: Real conversations are never premeditated. Every single script you read requires you to look at the words as an immediate response to an event that just happened. Embrace the "Yes, And" mindset: Stop fighting the copy or over-analyzing the client's intent. Accept the scenario given to you by the writer, agree with it wholeheartedly, and add your specific central nervous system to it. Natural beats perfect: If voiceover were solely about flawless technical precision, one person would hold all the work. Auditions book because of raw human imperfection and compelling storytelling. Instinct over mechanics: If you are listening to the sound of your own voice or focusing on your vocal melody while recording, you are completely out of the scene. Ditch the "Voiceover Artist" label: Tim reminds us that artists make sandwiches at Subway. You are an actor who uses your voice. Own that title, and do the internal script analysis required of real actors. Master the customized lead-in: Never launch directly into the first line of text dry. Build a fully formed, improvised phrase right before the first word to establish a genuine emotional point of view. Develop the "Dude Knowledge": A single lead-in word can serve as shorthand for a massive, unwritten backstory. Is your subtext "Dude, you're about to get fired" or "Dude, I've got the coolest secret to tell you"? Know the difference before you pull context into the microphone. AI can read—humans must connect: Perfect, pretty, and cheap reads can be generated by algorithms all day long. The only defense against automation is your messy, un-replicable life experience. Demos are a reflection of audition readiness: A professional demo is designed to show a casting director what you can deliver on the fly. If you aren't ready to book an elite audition on your own, you are not ready to cut a demo. Find coaches who hold you accountable: Avoid any production factories that promise stardom in record time. Work with industry thought leaders who aren't afraid to give you the hard, necessary truths about your current performance level.

Ditch the Suits - Financial, Investment, & Retirement Planning
In this episode of Ditch the Suits, Travis steps back to share the story behind the podcast; where it started, how it evolved, and why it's entering a new chapter.What began during the uncertainty of COVID as a way to cut through fear and misinformation has grown into something much bigger: a platform dedicated to helping people make smarter, more confident financial decisions. Along the way, the show has adapted - shifting formats, navigating regulatory changes, and refining its mission to stay focused on one thing: delivering real financial education without the noise, jargon, or sales pressure. But this episode isn't just about looking back. It also focuses on what comes next.Travis introduces a powerful framework that will shape future episodes: personal finance as a game. Like any game, it has rules, and the people who understand those rules are the ones most likely to win. The problem? Most consumers were never taught how the game actually works. Meanwhile, many professionals are playing to win for themselves, leaving individuals at a disadvantage. This episode sets the tone for a refreshed direction. One focused on exposing how the financial industry really operates, breaking down complex topics into practical insights, and helping listeners take control of their financial lives. With a new production approach, updated branding, and a consistent episode schedule, Ditch the Suits is recommitting to its core mission: to empower you with the knowledge and perspective you need to protect and grow your wealth.If you've ever felt like you're missing something when it comes to money, this episode is your starting point.

If you've been hanging around here for a while, you know we talk a lot about time. But here's something I've noticed over and over again with the women I work with: once they start getting out of overwhelm with their time and their physical space, a third area starts showing up. Money. That's why in this episode, I brought personal finance expert and financial wellness speaker Linda Grizely onto the show. Because money overwhelm is real, it's connected to everything else on your plate, and it has almost nothing to do with how good you are at math. Linda breaks down why most financial advice fails women, how your money personality shapes every decision you make, and why understanding yourself (and your partner) is the real starting point for getting your finances under control.In This Episode, We Cover:Why money advice feels overwhelming and why most of it isn't actually built for youWhat your money personality is and how it shapes every financial decision you makeHow couples with opposite money personalities can stop fighting and start understanding each otherWhy "I'm not a numbers person" is keeping you stuck (and what actually matters instead)The "me money" approach that works for almost every money personality in a relationshipWhy so many women feel guilty spending money on themselves and how to start shifting thatMentioned in This Episode:What's Your Money Personality Quiz: https://bit.ly/MonPersQuizConnect with Linda Grizely:www.lindagriz.comwww.instagram.com/lindagrizelywww.facebook.com/thelindagrizelywww.linkedin.com/in/linda-grizelyhttps://www.youtube.com/@LindaGrizely ________________________________

Connect with the Investor Mama Tribe Kim Rogne is a Certified High Performance Coach, Keynote Speaker, and the bestselling author of For The Love of Self – How to Change Your Mindset in Just 5 Minutes a Day. With over 25 years in the real estate industry, including 10 years in leadership management, Kim gained the expertise needed to launch her personal and professional development company, For The Love Of. She empowers working moms and small business owners to create balance, achieve more, and discover their own ‘For The Love Of.’ Kim is known for her unique approach to personal growth and productivity, bringing clarity and actionable steps to those feeling overwhelmed by life's demands. Her passion lies in helping others unlock their mindset superpower through her signature PRP Model (Potential = Reality = Perception), offering practical strategies that work both at home and in the workplace. As a self-proclaimed ‘mini-library’ of knowledge, Kim shares insights from books, podcasts, and her journey as a mom of two and her 27-year marriage. After a traumatic skiing accident left her wheelchair-bound, Kim took time off for the first time in 25 years. During this forced slow-down, she decided to stop dreaming and start doing, launching her business at age 50. Her company's vision is to inspire, empower, and promote action so everyone can live their best ‘For The Love Of’ life—allowing each person to fill in the blank with what matters most to them. Key Takeaways: 1. CEO Your Home — Stop Doing It All Yourself Treat your home like a business. Assign age-appropriate responsibilities to your kids (laundry, packing lunches, managing their schedule). Your worth is NOT in doing everything. Delegate just like you would at work — and don’t apologize for it. Start today: Pick one task you do daily and hand it off to your child or partner. 2. Create a Family Email + Shared Google Calendar Set up a dedicated family email that everyone has access to. All school newsletters, activity sign-ups, and events go there — not your personal inbox. As soon as kids are old enough, they update the family calendar themselves. Start today: Create a free Gmail family account and forward all school/activity emails there. 3. Use the “48-Hour Cart Rule” for Purchases Before buying anything over a set family threshold (Kim uses $50), it must sit in the cart for 48 hours. This one habit fights impulse spending and teaches kids delayed gratification — in your personal life AND your business. Start today: Set your family’s dollar threshold and make it a household rule. 4. Ask “What’s the ONE Thing?” to Beat Overwhelm When you feel buried, stop and ask: “What is the ONE thing I can do right now that will make everything else easier or unnecessary?” It might be making your bed, clearing the kitchen, or getting up 15 minutes early. Small wins protect your mental energy. Start today: Identify your one “sacred space” that, when tidy, gives you calm — and protect it. 5. Do 5-Minute Daily Journaling with These 6 Prompts Kim’s PRP journaling method (used to build a six-figure business in 12 months): Today I will release… Today I take in gratitude for… My core focus today is… Today I GET to… (opportunity, not obligation) I am… (affirmation or future manifestation) I will… (one action you’ll take) Start today: Grab any notebook and spend 5 minutes each morning on these 6 prompts.
