What if suffering isn't sacred?What if it's not a divine lesson, a karmic punishment, or some higher being's character-building exercise?In this episode, we tear down one of spirituality's most persistent lies: that pain is here to make you better.Suffering, in this view, isn't a teacher—it's a byproduct. A side effect of existing inside a dense, limited system where consciousness is compressed into form. Growth doesn't require pain; pain just happens when awareness meets resistance.We talk about why higher intelligences can't step in and “save” us, why manifestation is a gateway—not the final boss—and how realizing your creative power is less about getting what you want and more about waking up inside the matrix you're already in.This is an episode for anyone tired of being told to be grateful for their trauma.No silver linings. No spiritual bypassing.Just a clearer, more honest look at what this realm actually demands—and what it doesn't.You are loved.

This is an encore presentation of an episode originally released May, 2024. After today, I will be taking a short break and returning on April 2nd with all new episodes. All Patreon memberships will be paused until we return as well. Thank you!Hey y'all! This is the ONE jail story I have yet to tell anywhere . Literally one of the craziest events of my entire life, and probably the wildest four days of my active addiction. As always though, there is purpose in the madness, and this story is no different. A few episodes ago my guest Kevin said that a "miracle" can just be a shift in perspective. I absolutely love that idea and today you and I are going to discuss the perspective shift that "rejection is protection." Typically when we are rejected for anything, or by someone, we feel it is based on our value - that we aren't "good enough." What if we can shift our belief system to believe that rejection is a good thing, and absolutely unrelated to our value? Let's talk about it! Let me know what ya'll think!

Lesley Logan 0:01 Fuck yeah.Lesley Logan 0:02 Get ready for some wins. 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 0:48 Hello, Be It babe. How are you? Oh my gosh, we're here end of the month. What a way that could be a celebration. You made it. You didn't give up. You're listening to this podcast, which is a win for me, so as a win for you. No seriously, but thank you for being here. Thank you for listening to the Be It Pod all these years. Oh, my goodness. I really hope this, this serves you, it would, and if it does, please tell me in a review that'd be so great. Send your wins in to the beitpod.com/questions also send your questions in that you would like Brad and I to you know, answer for you and support you. It could be anything. Lesley Logan 1:23 So this blew my mind. Made me pissed off and but like, in a fired up way, and I think, like, that's what we need to be. I know we have a few good men who listen to this podcast. Hello. Thank you so much. But, and you are part of this as well. We actually need to take this all back. And so this inspiration came from womb_wisdom_with_shavita, and it's a carousel post, and she was like, menopause wasn't a decline, it was colonized. So before patriarchy, the menopausal woman was the Oracle. She was the healer, she was the memory keeper, the voice of the village, she held the kind of wisdom you cannot buy, silence or control. So they feared her. When the witch hunts began they weren't just killing women, they were erasing the power of menopause itself. A woman who no longer bleeds cannot be controlled. She doesn't fear pregnancy, she doesn't fear judgment, she doesn't bend to the rules of a world she already sees through. She becomes dangerous to the system, so they burned her, they silenced her, they rewrote her story, and in that smoke, they replaced the Oracle with the diagnoses. Menopause became decline, drying up, the end, a medical problem instead of a spiritual rising. And this was no accident. The system knew, if they get to the women, they get to the womb. If they get to the womb, they silence the elders. If they silence the elders, the children will forget. When the children forget, the whole world becomes easy to control, and this is how they shape generations of women to fear aging, fear institution, fear their own power. This is how the world forgot the truth of the Oracle years. But the turning has begun. 1.2 billion women are now entering menopause, 1.2 billion. And the same threshold they try to destroy it. This is a planetary shift, 1.2 billion voices rising. 1.2 billion nervous system waking up, 1.2 billion wombs remembering the system doesn't stand a chance. The only question now is, will we use the voices women were burned for? Or will we stay silent? We already know the answer. So I am really obsessed with this, because I do, look, obviously, as you go through menopause, there's all these different symptoms that happen through your body, and I think it's so important that you educate yourself before as much as you can, and then during, and advocate for yourself, because there are tools that are out there to support you through this. And as we know, as I know from the women who are older than me, who've gone through it like it is beautiful on the other side. So we got to go through this. But also, what are we going through it for? And if it is not to make sure that the people younger than us do not understand, like if it's not to make sure the people younger than us understand how freaking powerful they are, and all the options that are out there, then, you know, what is the point? So there's another book that this post reminds me of. It's called, She Caused A Riot. And I'm so sorry I don't have the author's name on top of my head. She Caused A Riot. So interesting because I was reading the book, and I was, like a lot of women leaders, like, thousands of years ago, what's going on, like in the, you know, all these different times, BC, and it's all these women leaders, and also there's none, none. And it just was like, oh, it's because they changed the history, you know, and so we can take it back, and I think we need to do and so being it until you see it doesn't have to be that you become like some sort of political figure in your world, but it can be that you become, maybe you're the voice in your community that's reminding women of how powerful they are, and reminding the men around us that like the patriarch, isn't good for them either. It's not good for anybody, right? So you know, when people have to fall into a role, it's not good. So anyways, all right, that's your inspiration for that today. Lesley Logan 5:06 Now let's go to your wins that you sent in. This one is from MelissaYNagai. I'm running a mat class. She's she's from Canada. She sells OPC flash cards in Canada. She's also an Agency OPC member. I was running mat class this weekend where my for my teacher trainees to observe, and it filled up in a day, actually over filling as I made a mistake on my schedule, but we will make it work. I decided to run a monthly session for teachers. I'm calling it core connections for Pilates teachers. It's open to six people, and I have four signed up, plus several others are interested. But timing doesn't work. Humongous. First of all, way to create community, Melissa, it's not easy, and when you first start it like the timing never works for people. People say they want things, and then it's like the timing never works. You've quickly find out, like there's no time that it will work, but eventually they make it work because they want to be near what you're creating. So just keep going with that. I'm so stoked for you. And I love when we make a mistake and it overfills and we go, oh, actually, I could do it with six people. I could do with five. Sometimes these mistakes are like these little, happy, magical accidents. So way to go, to put yourself out there. Way to just continue to show up each and every day for you and the people that you believe in the impact you want to make on this world. It's inspiring. And thank you for sharing with us. Lesley Logan 6:19 All right. My win. So my win is, I've had this one before, I'm sharing it again, because I'm constantly, like, proud of what we do. So each and every year I decide, like, okay, I need more time here. I need more space here. I need to be more ahead here. And then I've told you guys, like, sometimes you realize, like, one of the examples is in November of 2024 I got sick, and so then I got behind for November in early 2025 so my illness in November caused a domino effect of things not being done on time in early 2025 and there was a scramble. So then, you know, obviously, my assistant and I went to the drawing board. How can we even get more ahead? So in case something happens, we're not rushing. Of course, in November of 2025, I was still, still getting everything done, just right before we left, and that's okay, like things happen. In fact, what I'm recording right now is a re record, so I would actually have a little bit more time today, but this is a re record, because mercury retrograde. That being said, I got better at noticing how much more time I wanted to have on certain projects so they weren't rushed. And I can sit here today and celebrate that I got to be super present for multiple visitors in February. Multiple. My slingshot bestie, a podcast guest, slash we coached for a really long time. We've had so many people coming through these doors in February, it almost felt like I should take another month off. And because of how far ahead we got ourselves for the beginning of 2026 last year in 2025, I was able to be present. And I just want to say, like, if you are feeling overwhelmed, near burnout. One, take some breaks. You need to and you need to figure out what fills your cup. Listen to the burnout episodes. Listen to our self love episodes, listen to our habit episodes. Two, two, very important. You may have to get behind to get ahead, but I highly recommend that you figure out a way to create more space in your life and not be so to the wire on things, and that is as an ADHD person who loves to procrastinate like lives off it like says, I used to be proud of the papers I would write the night before. Yes, I wrote a 48-page paper the two days before it was due, and I got a B plus. And he said I would have gotten an A had I written it three days before, because I probably would have time to read it. That all being said, at some point you have to give yourself space, just you're not running on that adrenaline all the time. And so my win is that I have, each and every year, created more and more space for the following year for the person I'm going to become. And I'm continuing to look at how I'm doing that this year for next year already, even though it's February. So there's my win. Lesley Logan 9:03 All right, your mantra for the week. Oh, this is a good one. I take care of my body. I take care of my body. I take care of my body. I take care of my body. Of course you do, babe. Let's go take care of that body and have an amazing day. Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 9:21 That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Hey girl, welcome back to the Her Best Self Podcast. This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week and Lindsey is getting real with you about the truth behind eating disorders — the statistics that will stop you in your tracks, the signs that are easy to miss, and the hope that recovery is absolutely possible for you. Whether you are personally in the thick of your own battle with food and your body, loving someone who is struggling, or simply wanting to understand eating disorders on a deeper level, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode In this powerful episode, Lindsey pulls back the curtain on the most misunderstood mental illness and shares what the research actually says, who eating disorders really affect, and what you can do today to take the next step toward freedom. Lindsey covers the real mortality rate of eating disorders and why early intervention changes everything, the truth about who develops eating disorders and why the stereotype is dead wrong, the most common signs to watch for in yourself or someone you love, how to approach a loved one who is struggling without pushing them further away, and why recovery is not only possible but waiting for you on the other side. Key Stats From This Episode Eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of any mental illness, surpassed only by opioid addiction. Someone dies every 52 minutes as a direct result of an eating disorder. About 30 million Americans will struggle with an eating disorder in their lifetime. Less than 6% of people with eating disorders are classified as underweight. Only about one third of people with eating disorders will ever receive treatment.

Rich Brown is a Combat-Service-Disabled U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, co-founder of Honor Bound FIT, and the Event Director of GUIDON22—an annual 22-mile ruck honoring the 22 veterans lost to suicide each day. After leading Marines in combat and training warriors from around the world, Rich carried the mission forward into civilian life by building strength, resilience, and purpose in veterans, first responders, and high-performance individuals. His work spans executive protection, entrepreneurship, leadership development, and veteran mental health advocacy. In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton sit down with Rich to explore what it really means to lead after the uniform comes off—and why the lessons forged in combat are more relevant than ever in today's world. Together, they dive deep into: • The Stockdale Paradox — balancing unwavering hope with brutal honesty • Leadership lessons the military teaches that society desperately needs • Veteran entrepreneurship and rebuilding identity after service • Suicide prevention and the mission behind GUIDON22 • What most people misunderstand about veterans—and what must change At the heart of everything Rich does is something many don't expect: being a dad. His commitment to discipline, service, and growth is rooted in showing his daughter what real resilience looks like—not just talked about, but lived. Leadership, in this conversation, isn't about rank or authority. It's about responsibility, integrity, and carrying purpose forward when no one is watching.
Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you to: Brilliant and renowned American stand-up comedian, Emmy Award and Peabody Award Winner, podcast host and co-host, content creator, writer, wearer and finder of hilarious costumes, former GATE kid, loving husband to a dolphin, whistleblower to whistleblowers, survivor advocate, and someone I'm honored to call a friend: Kurt Metzger A comedian who turned personal rebellion into a beacon of unfiltered truth, Kurt's early life was anything but ordinary. Born in Ohio, he was raised in the Jehovah's Witness faith where he was ordained as a minister at age 17. Diving headfirst into stand-up, Kurt honed his craft in the gritty clubs of Philadelphia and New York, where his sharp wit and no-holds-barred style quickly set him apart in the industry. Kurt doesn't just write; he performs - showcasing his mastery of observational comedy laced with dark humor, tackling everything from politics to human folly. In addition to doing stand-up he also hosts his own podcast on YouTube and co-hosts with Jimmy Dore on The Jimmy Dore Show. A couple years ago, I crossed paths with Kurt on social media and learned that Kurt wasn't merely a fan of survivor testimonies - he was devouring them, using every raw testimony to finally piece together the puzzle of his own upbringing and defect from the Jehovah's Witness cult that had shaped (and scarred) his childhood. Those same accounts also helped paint a bigger picture of why the JW's may have the largest settlement in history against them for covering up sexual abuse crimes. On his most recent appearance on Joe Rogan, Kurt even arrived dressed as the infamous MK ULTRA scumbag John C. Lilly - the dolphin-obsessed "scientist" survivors like J.R. Sweet have named as a programmer and abuser, talked about MONARCH and mind control on the show, brought and showed JR Sweet's incredible memoir, “Mormon Monarch” on the podcast, and left a signed copy of JR's book for Rogan after the podcast. What I love about Kurt is that he chooses advocacy over approval, values justice more than likes, and truth more than comfort. He delivers the hardest realities wrapped in his signature blend: razor-sharp comedy, biting sarcasm, gut-punch honesty - and laughter that disarms just enough for the truth to sink deep, refusing to fade when the jokes end. Today, Kurt has become a force of nature, a towering voice for survivors. He befriends them, amplifies their testimonies, shares their work, and fights publicly in ways few have the guts to match. In an era where even seasoned journalists and hosts hesitate to utter "MK ULTRA" or "crimes against humanity," Kurt sprinted toward the fire the instant he understood its scale - and that it's still burning.CONNECT WITH KURP: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kurtmetzgercomedyIG: https://www.instagram.com/kurtmetzgercomedy/X: https://x.com/kurtmetzgerCONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmaSupport the show

The Fat-Burning Man Show by Abel James: The Future of Health & Performance
Why do we wait until it's almost too late to take our health seriously? If you've ever experienced a rock bottom moment, you know it can be a powerful catalyst to take radical ownership over your life and your results. This weeks guest suggests that your health and physique is your “proof of work”—visible, undeniable evidence of your daily routines and values.Today, we're here with Dr. Jae Koonce, PharmD, certified personal trainer, Bitcoiner, and founder of Proof of Work Fitness. Jae is one of a kind—he's as comfortable leading advanced mobility drills in a pharmacy picnic as he is whipping up squirrel stew deep in the woods. Along those lines, what's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?Mine is probably guinea pig in Peru (scrumptious), random fried crickets and bugs in Thailand (not recommended), or maybe the toughest old bear meat on earth from the backwoods in New Hampshire (not for the faint of heart).But when it comes to hunting and cooking wild game, this week's guest might just teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in style. In this episode, you'll discover:How to design your life to show up day after day, especially when things get toughHow to treat health as a compounding investment and dollar-cost-average your workouts by taking one small, consistent step at a timeWhy community is a superpower and surrounding yourself with goal-driven people accelerates transformationWhy tiny habits create an enormous change in your trajectoryAnd much more...Jae's journey is as honest and actionable as it gets.

Reality TV royalty has entered the Cyrus castle. This week we sit down with the one and only Mark Ballas to talk Traitors paranoia, Dancing with the Stars pressure, and what it's actually like surviving a competition show where someone might be lying to your face at breakfast. We get into Rob's master manipulation, secret alliances, murder-in-plain-sight chaos, and why you have to trust someone 100% even when you absolutely shouldn't. Plus, what really happens at those roundtables and why the banquet episode had everyone spiraling.Then we rewind to DWTS life... 19 seasons in a row, brutal rehearsal schedules, fight-camp-level training, and the reality of coming back after injuries and fatherhood. Mark opens up about choreography control, producing his own music for routines, and how different the mental game is between Traitors and live television.

On this episode of Play It Brave, we're diving into one of the biggest conversations happening in photography right now: AI. The excitement. The skepticism. The "Is this going to replace us?" energy. All of it. I brought on Noella Andres from Imagen AI to talk about what AI in editing actually is (and what it isn't). Noella has spent over 20 years supporting photographers in finding more freedom in their workflows, and her move into Imagen fits perfectly with that mission. Together, we unpack how AI can support your artistry instead of threaten it, how it integrates into Lightroom, how it learns your style, and how to use it consciously — without losing your creative voice. Key Takeaways The real question isn't "Will AI replace photographers?", it's "How can we use AI consciously?" Burnout in photography often comes from hours behind the screen, not from shooting itself. When repetitive tasks are automated, creative energy expands. AI can function like a virtual assistant, handling the grunt work while you stay in artistic control. The danger isn't AI — it's losing your unique voice by relying on formulas (in editing, branding, or marketing). As the world becomes more automated, genuine human connection and client experience become even more valuable. Originality requires intention. Photographers must resist copying trends and instead refine their own artistic identity. Social media fatigue is real. Intentional automations (like email marketing funnels) can create sustainability without constant online presence. Used wisely, AI can actually help you fall back in love with photography by giving you your time and inspiration back. AI isn't the enemy. Burnout is. Blending in is. Giving away your creative voice is. When you let AI handle the repeatable tasks — culling, base edits, workflow — you get your time back for what actually matters: your clients, your craft, and creating because you want to. If you're curious, you can try Imagen through my ambassador link (with 1500 free edits included). And if you have questions, DM me. I want you editing faster, loving your images more, and feeling inspired again. Meet Noella Noella Andres has been in the photography game for over 20 years — Chasing love stories, and eventually finding her real passion: helping other photographers grow wildly successful businesses of their own. These days, she's all about marketing, brand partnerships, and business coaching — guiding photographers as they step into their next big thing, whether that's launching a course, building passive income, or leveling up their visibility. She's part strategy nerd, part hype girl, and fully invested in helping creatives find freedom in their business (and have a little fun doing it).

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, you get Two Parents for about 10 minutes… and then Jules takes over for Harrison. So for everyone who's been asking in the comments for more Jules: this one's for you (hi, mom). (ps. I still will not be going on camera. Don't push it guys lol -Jules) Before the handoff, we cover a LOT. Pregnancy sickness recovery being wildly unfair, whether we're accidentally becoming sourdough people (apparently like Taylor Swift?!), and what it's like doing Expo West with a toddler in tow. We share a Bubber buckle fracture update, a hard parenting rule we learned the hard way (never skip snack time), and get into glucose intolerance… plus the surprising internet consensus that sourdough might actually help?? From there, we talk neighborhood social committees, joining a junior professionals board, and then we officially made it past all the things we had planned to talk about that I could do without Harrison - cue Jules stepping in (being thrust in…). OK we covered - secret “single behaviors” we all do, whether bricking your phone ACTUALLY works, Millennials vs. Gen Z (Jules does, in fact, call Alex cheugy), and the importance of the group text. We also discover you can apparently petition to bring back discontinued flight paths (??), play a round of Two Truths & a Lie (two truths… Jules can't lie), and have a very real moment about how fast kids grow up. Things We DMed takes a turn with a headline that stopped us in our tracks: a baby born from a womb transplant from a deceased donor — and the bigger ethical conversation that followed. Then it's Bicker of the Week (expiration dates: law or loose suggestion?), a practical baby #2 conversation about needing a bigger car, why the naughty corner doesn't actually work the way we think it does. We wrap with a quick note that we are hiring (kind of) — but if you DM us, you're automatically disqualified. LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!!

And there's not enough words, he said, to encapsulate the power in that as a photographer. Lesley Logan 0:09 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 0:53 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the powerful convo I have with another Brad. Brad Walsh. Brad Crowell 0:55 Another Brad. Lesley Logan 0:55 In our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, then actually listen to this one. You should go back and listen that one. It's pretty good. I liked it. Brad Crowell 1:05 That's a great interview. It was, I'm not gonna lie you, you spoke my thoughts out loud. Lesley Logan 1:10 I did? Brad Crowell 1:11 Yes. Like. Lesley Logan 1:12 Did I say that I have to say Brad's thoughts? Brad Crowell 1:14 No, but two. There's another comment I can't remember. It'll come back to me. But you know when, when I heard you introduce Brad Walsh as someone who is entirely devoted to platforming and empowering women, I was like, a man is doing that? Okay, okay. I was like, I guess, I guess I'm I didn't even know. I was dubious and a little curious and then encouraged and excited at by the end. So, yes, it's great.Lesley Logan 1:45 Turns out you can be really successful if you platform women. Turns out. Brad Crowell 1:50 How about that? Lesley Logan 1:51 Yeah, it turns out there's, there's things like, there's like, good things that happen when you do that.Brad Crowell 1:55 You did mention that you had similar thoughts to him, and I was laughing, because I was like, okay, I'm not alone. Lesley Logan 1:59 Yeah. I'm intrigued. Well, we'll get into that in just a second. But first today is February 26th 2026 and it's Black Lives Matter Day. Black Lives Matter Day is celebrated annually on February 26th in remembrance of Trayvon Martin, an African American teen who was killed by a white American out of hatred. The acquittal of the killer, George Zimmerman, from the murder charge and is roaming free, caused a wave of widespread anger, which led to nationwide campaigns centered around fairness and justice for black people. Black Lives Matter is a chant against systemic racial discrimination which has shaped and increased the risk of violence towards black people. Join in the movement to end discrimination, declare equality for all.Brad Crowell 2:39 Yeah. So one of the things that I wanted to address is we're obviously not black. However, we have heard a lot of people who are not black say, well, what about white people? Or what about other, you know, people as well? Shouldn't we be focusing on them as much as we are focusing on black people? And ultimately, I would say Black Lives Matter does not say other lives don't matter. But what Black Lives Matter is saying is that there is a historical, documented like systematic approach against that has not given the same opportunities in our society, in our in the United States of America, to black people, whereas it has favored, white people. Lesley Logan 3:37 Oh one thing and I heard that I heard this in 2020 and I'll share it here. It doesn't mean you didn't have to swim uphill, it just meant that you had a paddle, it just means that, like, you could have had a hard life but there, the research is there, even if your family came here like mine did in the 1912 all this stuff, the research is, is, is very much there, the status are there that because after slavery, we didn't, we did not treat black people the same as white people, the wealth that their families could pass down, which whether or not you got any money, because I didn't either whether doesn't matter. It doesn't mean that you that there was less opportunity for their generations of families to have options. And there's actually a black family, a guy who was able to buy slaves, the black man who was able to buy his family as slaves. And so then when when slavery ended, there was this whole, basically reparations for the slave owners. And so he was given money for the slaves that he lost, and you can see his family and the generations that came from his family, and how different their lives were compared to other black people and so especially as we're watching this right now where brown people are being targeted in an insane way, black and brown people, but we're seeing a lot of it with brown people because of ICE. I'm just gonna say who it is, because of that. The reality is, is because.Brad Crowell 5:02 Because of ICE directed it by, you know, Stephen Miller and our president.Lesley Logan 5:06 And our president and his vice president, we're gonna add in there. Because some people think if we just got rid of Trump at life would be better. No, you'll still have a shit sandwich. So the reality is, because we've never had Black Lives Matter, we are all being affected. All every other color is going to have a hard time. And by the way, white people, you are too, your life is not going to get easier because they got rid of some brown people, or they only pull over black people. You're this is a community.Brad Crowell 5:32 But I want to go back to this. I agree with the things that you're saying, but I want to go back to this by saying let white lives matter too. We're actually sidestepping the issue. And that's the problem. The problem is not that white lives don't matter. That's not what we're saying, and that's not what you know, that's not what, when someone says Black Lives Matter, they're not saying white lives don't matter too. But what they but when we say white lives matter too, we're we're just derailing the conversation away from the fact that there has been systemic oppression of people in our society for 400 years, right?Lesley Logan 6:05 And also, by the way, if you vote for the people of color who are different than you, you benefit too. By the way, if you've not, I'm not saying vote for people of color. I'm saying if you vote for the people who will represent the people of the least of these, you will benefit. You'll benefit in so many different ways.Brad Crowell 6:20 But here's the thing, that, yes, that you will absolutely benefit when there is, like, cultural and systemic racism against a particular group, it almost empowers violence towards that group, and that is where the that's where everyone got really, really frustrated with this murderer who was literally set free, you know, and, and I couldn't agree more, you know, it's, it's, it's wrong.Lesley Logan 6:50 It's just fucked up. I mean, to be honest, the whole thing that he stood on, that law that he stood on, is stupid, and it's in several different states, and people and like kids have been killed since then because they knocked on the wrong door. A black kid last year knocked on the wrong door looking to pick up his brothers, and they shot him because he's a black kid at their door. Like, what the, I'm sorry, that is infuriating. And we, we are not done. And I think, like, we got past 2020. Brad Crowell 7:18 It's like a mix of fear and racism and the fact that they're ever like. Lesley Logan 7:21 But they're, I won't even give them warrant over fear they're fucked up. Like, come on, I'm sorry.Brad Crowell 7:26 Like their bread fear is like, spued into their life.Lesley Logan 7:31 Right, I guess. But also like, we live in a world where you can curate your own algorithm and and these people are not taking the time to even, like, think about somebody else's experience at all, just their own, and they're so self-centered, and then they vote for people who lie to them and use them and use fear to use them. And now look where we're at. People are dying, and they're like, but my life still sucks. Yeah, it does. You voted for people who made sure it fucking sucked. And I am just like, the guns are the fucking problem. And then we have to. We voted we got rid of Trump the first time. We're like, oh, good. All this stuff is better. No, it's not. The Democrats didn't work fucking fast enough. And now we're here in this place of shit where black people still don't have the rights that white people do, and now brown people are being attacked in crazy ways. And by the way, like, if you're so concerned with, like, immigrants and crime. Like last year, immigrants killed three people, and ISIS killed 33 people from the stats that I just looked at. So like, I just think that, like, there's things that we could be taking into perspective, and it requires us to be more considerate of people who look different than us, and also fighting for their rights, because it will help yours. Anyways, end of rant. And by the way, that's a long conversation that we were like trying to get out. So if we like, that's something a little weird forgiveness, because we're all growing. We're all learning. You get amped up. Lesley Logan 8:50 So anyways, I want to get into what's going on. We just wrapped up Agency Mini last week, and so you missed it. Brad Crowell 9:02 Congratulations, it's over. Lesley Logan 8:57 Congratulations. You can't get on the waitlist, but you can get on the waitlist for the next one. We will do one more this year, prfit.biz/mini prfit.biz/mini that's profit without the O and it is for Pilates instructors and studio owners who work for themselves or want to so highly recommend it. Now we're getting up and we're gearing. We're gearing. We're gearing up and getting ready because we will be gone for an entire month in Europe. Brad and I, we're not taking Bayon on this trip. On this trip, and so we'll be first in Poland at the Controlology Conference to Contrology Pilates Conference in Wroclaw with Karen Frischmann, xxll.co/poland you can come from anywhere to go to that. Karen and I speak in English, and it will be translated into Polish. So if you can do either of those languages, that conference is for you. And then after that, Brad, Karen and I are going to go to the Contrology. We're going to Brussels to Pilatels like Vintage Pilates and friends. Ignacio is going to be there. El is the owner. She's going to be there. The four of us are gonna be teaching workshops and classes. It's gonna be a long, fun filled days. I promise these are something you don't wanna miss. Els really throws a party with these xxll.co/brussels, and I guess we're gonna be like in Bruges. So that's really cool. Don't quote me. It's all on the site. Just go there. Brad Crowell 9:02 Sounds fun. Lesley Logan 9:02 We have a lot of eLevate and other people that we know are going to that one. So it's gonna be a really fun party. And then after our second honeymoon, which your recommendations for things to do between Brussels and Paris that get us to London are welcomed, because we're going to take that train. I think, hopefully we can. That's the plan. We clearly haven't looked up anything. I just heard you can go from Paris to London, so that's what we're going to do. But you can join us at POT London. My Saturday workshop is filled, but there is a few spots left in the Sunday workshop that I'm teaching, but you should come to any of the workshops, because there's some excellent presenters at the POT in London, xxll.co/pot. By the way, that link will take you to all the POTs that Balanced Body is doing right now. Right now the only one on that schedule that I'm going to be at is POT London. We will have a booth at a couple others, but if you want to take workshop from me in Europe, you've got three weekend options, and that is it for at least a year, maybe two. So check it out xxll.co/pot, and then we come home, we're gonna get ready for spring training. Brad Crowell 11:16 Yeah, really looking forward to it. This year we're gonna change it up. Lesley Logan 11:19 How to get overhead. Brad Crowell 11:20 How to get overhead. So last year's spring training was so fun. We had people join us from all over the world. We had teachers join us from all over the globe, all the OPC teachers, and it was a big party. And we were digging into, well, each year we're digging into a different topic. So this year's topic is how to get overhead. And I know we kind of said this last week on the pod. But you don't have to be able to get overhead right to come learn. Lesley Logan 11:46 I don't like that. It's not have to get overhead, it's a how to. It's really finding your own version of overhead exercises. It's really just, you're here to find your own and that's what Pilates is making your own personal practice practice. It's called Contrology, the study of control. Not controlled.Brad Crowell 12:02 Yeah, not controlled. So come join us. Go to opc.me/events opc.me/events to grab a spot on the waitlist so that you're gonna be the first one to know when we do that in May. Before we get into this great interview with Brad, let's dig into this question. So on YouTube, @wanderlustonwheels asks, I would love to see recommendations for us perimenopausal ladies on the Cadillac. I am also hyper mobile, so I can't really do any mat work without fabricating and crunching my joints and pinching my nerves. I always end up with neck cranks that keep me from sleeping when I do mat work. So this is like multiple things rolled up into one. Lesley Logan 12:45 Yeah, I'm gonna keep it tight, because I appreciate your question about perimenopausal exercises on the Cadillac. And unfortunately, the way that Pilates has been changed, in some ways, is that people think I need to know this type of exercise for this piece of equipment, but really it's a system. And actually all Pilates is available to any perimenopausal woman on any piece of equipment. So what's cool about Pilates is it actually is a low cortisol producing workout, or it should be. And if yours is not, then you're probably not doing Pilates. It's a mind body connective work, and you're not moving super slow or super fast. There's some moments with zest and there's some moment with rhythm. But in in all honesty, most Pilates exercise classes session should actually be low cortisol producing really great for building strength and for getting that mind body connection, which will bring down that cortisol levels. And you should be able to sleep really, really well. So I'm not gonna say which exercises are great for perimenopause, because they all are, but depends on which ones your body needs right now. And that actually has nothing. That has very little to do with perimenopause, and more to do with like, what's going on with your body, the fact that you're hyper mobile, you didn't mention that you have EDS. So if you had EDS, this was a it's a different story, and you should definitely be working. You should really make sure to find an EDS teacher near you, trained teacher near you or online. Because the fact that when you do mat work your nerves are pinched and you have neck cranks makes me actually nervous that you're not doing actual Pilates exercises, and somebody is using the popularity of Pilates to entice you in, because if you're doing Pilates from your center on the mat as a hyper mobile person, the worst case scenario you're going to have is that it's easy. I'm a hyper mobile body, and so it would just feel easy to me because I was just locking my joints out and over stretching things and kind of hanging off of things. But the fact that you're actually having pinched nerves and neck cranks tells me that there's some sort of pressure that's being pulled to you in these exercises.Brad Crowell 14:46 Well, I think, I think, like, okay, so also hypermobile here. And did you know in like, super intense yoga for like, a long time before moving to Vegas and so now I do yoga differently, but before it was like, you know, 3, 4, 5 days a week doing yoga. And I definitely understand the idea of, like, crunching joints and pinching nerves, or I don't understand fabricating. That doesn't mean anything to me. But, you know, just because you can force your body into a shape doesn't mean you're doing it correctly. Lesley Logan 15:18 Well and also, I think that, like, something that you had to learn was that not every cue is for you. And I think sometimes in a class we hear them say something, so we do it in a hyper mobile people, we can keep going like, our end range isn't there, whereas a tighter person would be like, get stuck on something.Brad Crowell 15:35 I mean, look, I you know, I could put my head, my foot behind my head on the first day of class, the very first day, like, and they were like, your yoga practice is amazing. I was like, I'm brand new. What are you talking about? Right? So.Lesley Logan 15:46 And that teacher should have been like, oh, even though you can do that, you should not do that, because you don't know what you're doing.Brad Crowell 15:51 Right. You don't know how to engage your muscles, to protect your body. And that's what, to me, that's what it sounds like here, when you have crunching joints or pinching nerves, like in Pilates, we talk about the five spine shapes. And the spine shape that that you should focus on as a hyper mobile body is tall.Lesley Logan 16:07 Yeah, look at you, Brad. Brad Crowell 16:09 Oh yeah. Lesley Logan 16:10 Look at you. So so @wanderlustonwheels, like, here's the thing, if you were an OPC member and I was you sent in a video of you doing a couple of the mat exercises, just a couple reps, I don't want you to hurt anything, I could actually see what's going on. Without being able to see it just based off what I'm reading, it sounds to me that the person who's teaching the class is not teaching your body. They are teaching a class, and that is hard because it's more accessible for you to go to a class or to watch a YouTube video, but not everything is going to be for you. And so actually learning how to move from your center is going to be key, and that might mean investing in some time or some money to get either an OBC membership or a studio near you, where a teacher can actually look at you and go, oh, that's too high. Oh, that's too much. Or here are these exercises, because the mat work, like I said, as a hypermobile, it should just feel easy, and the fact you're getting hurt, really, like alarm bells are going off for me. Brad Crowell 17:03 There's a second thing I wanted to say on this, and I'm not a physical therapist, but also being a hypermobile body, the best thing that has that I've done for my body in the past five years is lifting weights.Lesley Logan 17:16 Well and, for perimenopausal women, you should be so people who actually do Pilates say I should lift weights. It's not an or it's an and I do both. I lift heavy weights and I do Pilates.Brad Crowell 17:27 Because, because the strength, here's here's where this has been weird for me, because I am, like, super competitive, the guy who wants to be the guy who can, you know, bend over backwards and and, like, you know, touch my toes backwards. I want to be that guy, because if they can do it, so can I. That's how my mentality has always been, and I could do a lot more flexibility things, maybe not properly, but with my hypermobility before I started becoming more strong, but with the strength added, which, you know, has been like, a process over multiple years. My body hurts way less, way less. I can still jack myself up, and I can still be like, oh man, I'm in my lower back right now. I can feel it, you know. But because my, because I've been like, my shoulders don't hurt anymore. They used to. My knees are hurting less they, you know, my back especially has been hurting less, and then, you know, I haven't had neck issues the way that you're describing them. But like, you know, if you strengthen your neck, imagine.Lesley Logan 18:31 Well, that's the thing that people, especially while we're doing that, going back to that spring training with overhead, I ask you, like, what they're nervous about and everyone's afraid of their neck. And I'm like, one, you should be on your neck. And two, your neck should be strong. Most people, like, are so afraid of hurting their neck that they're not actually strengthening their neck anymore, and their necks getting weaker. And so guess what? It's actually gonna you're gonna hurt it just sitting around. So I, I really, like, I feel for people because, like, what if? So what if @wanderlustonwheels, like, can't go to any place, right? What if she, like, doesn't have money or the time, and she like, I get that it's about listening to your body. And really true, like, sometimes you have to film yourself, because if you're looking at someone do something, and then you're trying to make yourself look like them. But then when you actually film yourself, you go, oh, wow, look at how hyperextended or look where my chin is like that could help you or if you can invest in even just some privates, going hey, I need to know these foundational exercises for my body. I need to know these foundational weight training exercises for my body. I'm hyper mobile, then you can I truly believe you can do Pilates on your own once you have those foundations. And that's I wouldn't have created OPC if I didn't think so, and you can train on your own. That's why gyms exist. So at any rate, like also, I just really wonder if the person teaching that mat class is actually teaching real mat Pilates or doing lots of extra reps or something. They might be doing Pilates exercises, but doing a ton of reps, or doing it too fast, or adding heavier weights. I say, like, what? I was like, oh, I want lightweights for a class, right? And I showed up and they're like, the lightest one's worth five pounds each. And I'm like, that's not Pilates. That like that should be in a gym, because Pilates is a one pound weight. So like, sometimes, you know, people want to fill the burn and so, and then studios lean towards that, because that's what I think, is there gonna be money, and what we're not doing is educating people, you know? (inaudible)Brad Crowell 20:12 Thanks for writing in that question. There's a lot there, but, but. Lesley Logan 20:17 We have a great workshop on OPC that Mindy Westfall did about Pilates for hypermobility, so I highly recommend taking a look at that.Brad Crowell 20:24 Yeah, that's a great point and and sorry for interrupting you there. But yes, if you have a question, we want to hear it, so text us 310-905-5534, or you can submit it through beitpod.com/questions beitpod.com/questions where you can leave either a win or a question. So send us some wins, people, we want to celebrate with you. Stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to talk about Brad Walsh. Brad Crowell 20:49 All right, let's talk about Brad Walsh. Brad is the host and founder of the Empower Podcast, a Toronto based platform dedicated to amplifying women's stories and strengthening their voices. A lifelong photographer. He discovered his passion in high school, and later transitioned from a 12 and a half year career as corporate audiovisual technician to full time photography, eventually specializing in boudoir work that helps women see their own strength and beauty. His commitment to women's empowerment is rooted in the example set by his mother and grandmother, whose courage shaped the values behind his work today. Lesley Logan 21:23 Yeah, and some cool women in his life. And we've had one photographer on before, and so I was, I was excited to talk a little bit about boudoir photography with him, because I grew up where a lot of women changed their bodies because of what they thought men would like, and then him being a male boudoir photographer who's like, literally loving everybody as it is and showing them how beautiful they are in their own bodies with these photos. And then then they can see how beautiful they are in those photos. It's fucking cool. I think it's great. Thanks, Brad, for not being a dick, you know, like there are some good men out there. Brad Crowell 21:56 If you haven't listened to his episode just yet, his you know, he shared his story a little bit. His dad left, or his mom left his dad, who was, you know, off cheating on her, basically, when he was 10, and they went through it like they were broke. They got an apartment. Mom slept on the couch, because he also has a brother, and he said, you know, her strength and courage to stand back up after 15 years of marriage and say, I'm done with this abuse. She left with nothing but the clothes on her back. And, you know, and then when she got a job because she needed to, after being out of the workforce for over a decade, grandma helped in, you know, stepped in to help. So, you know, very inspirational story there. And also, like, definitely lays the foundation for why he would be encouraging, you know, women and empowering women. So I appreciated hearing a little bit of that. But what are the what is one of the things that he talked about that you really loved?Lesley Logan 22:54 Well, he said, the gift of her seeing herself for the first time a light she's not used to seeing herself in. He said, like, it's so powerful to be able to give that to another human being and.Brad Crowell 23:03 You're specifically talking about his photography, yeah, boudoir photography.Lesley Logan 23:06 Yeah. He said when they see who they truly are and how they're captured, they leave a completely different woman. And there's not enough words, he said, to encapsulate the power in that as a photographer. I mean, I.Brad Crowell 23:19 His conviction, like, was, was so. Lesley Logan 23:21 Oh yeah, you have to hear it. Brad Crowell 23:22 Yeah, it was. It was very compelling. Because he's like, I don't, I don't have the words to say how much that has impacted me. Lesley Logan 23:28 Yeah. Well, I think, like, first of all, ladies, if you're like, I hate being on camera. I don't have (inaudible) you're the one who fucking needs to have your picture taken. Because, like, I was like, oh my God, we have a photo shoot tomorrow, and I love our photographer, and I love our makeup artist, and so I'm like, it's, I know it's going to be a great time, and it's a long day, like we talked about Brooks Tyler's book last week, and it's like, to be on an eight-hour shoot, you you have to have stamina, endurance, and I really think Adderall would have helped, like, just, just to stay focused right for that many hours. But when you see the photos at the end of the day, you're like, oh my God, I'm fucking stunning. And then you like, wake up the next day without hair and makeup, like, I'm fucking stunning. Like, it just keeps going. So, like, I highly recommend doing it, because it does change how you think about yourself. And when you change how you think about yourself, you change how you act, you change how you act, you change how you be it till you see it. I mean, there's no other way to say it. So what did you love?Brad Crowell 24:25 So I really dug when he was talking about resilience, right? And it stemmed from a conversation about being tired of the word resilient. You know, like, I've been told so many times you're so resilient. Well, I don't want to be resilient anymore. Why do I have to keep being resilient?Lesley Logan 24:37 My friends are like, you're the most resilient person, I know I'm like, over it pretty done.Brad Crowell 24:42 And he took a step back and paused, and he's like, well, this is how I see what resilience is. It's, it's courage and inner strength, specifically, when you you keep getting back up after being knocked down time after time, right? And he said, he said it's really important that women be resilient so they can share their experience, and inspire other women by being vulnerable, by sharing their experience. It's a permission slip for others. It shows them what is possible, right? And I thought that's totally relevant and important. And he said, while it can certainly be tiring, it serves a greater purpose, right? And it makes your efforts bigger than just you. You know, it makes your efforts towards whatever it is that you're working on. When you share those things and you continue to get back up, you know, you're giving permission for others to keep going on their journey, which we don't know what exactly what it is, but there's clearly going to be something relatable. He said, even if you're only influencing one person, right? It's worth it. He said, think about that impact, and how you know that you can have and how you can help. Maybe, you know, maybe by sharing your story, your struggles, it will prevent someone from having to go through something similar that you experience, because you know you're sharing how you got through it. So, I mean, that's honestly, like half the reason we do this podcast is hearing, you know, how did they get from A to B? How are they being it till they see, how they get to where they are today and, you know, it's inspirational. I hope you found it as well.Lesley Logan 26:08 I did. I really did. And I couldn't agree more. I mean, like, you're, you know, it's not a podcast I used to listen to before I was ever like when the first they just ended their first season, which is like, more like an ending of a show. I think they call the end of a season one, because they could always come back. But it was like 968, episodes. And I know. And I was just like, interesting. I wonder what it'd be like, like, well, how do you, how do you think about ending it? I read, like, their statement, which is, like, everything that we did worked, and like, look, we've inspired people. And I was like, there must have been a point where they, like, thought it wasn't adding anymore, you know, and but, and every time I'm like, is this podcast like helping anybody out? And then we go on tour, and someone's like, I loved this. And I'm like, well, fuck, we got to keep going because it's fucking hard work podcasting. But I know every stupid bro makes it look like it's the easiest thing you ever did in your life. This is a fucking hard thing that we do every week.Brad Crowell 27:00 Yeah, we're surrounded by a whole team to set us up to be able to even do this.Lesley Logan 27:03 Yes, and you just get to, like, vent or rant or like, I don't know what the fuck they think they're doing, but like, you actually have to, like, have structure and, like, think about these things and think about the people you're platforming. You know, I know that dickhead CEO podcast is like, I'm not platforming these people. I'm having a conversation. No, you're fucking platforming them, right? So, like, sometimes I'm like, oh, do I should I be platforming this person? Because I want to change lives for the better, right? So, and it's difficult because you're like, how do I know this person? How am I going to there's so many things to think about, but I do agree. It's like, if you can change one's person's life with it, like, then it's worth doing, worth all the effort. Brad Crowell 27:33 Yeah, well, stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to dig into those Be It Action Items that we got from your conversation with Brad Walsh. Brad Crowell 27:42 All right, welcome back. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your conversation with Brad Walsh? He said, you just have to be authentic. Don't try to be something that you're not. And the two of you went back and forth about we need to take back the word authentic, it's overused and overplayed, but there's still something to it. You know? He said, look, when we only show the happy, shiny, beautiful part of the thing that we went through, we're not being honest, and that's not being authentic, because there was definitely some shit we had to go through to get there too, right? And so I think it's fair to say that you can still be selective about all of the shit. You don't have to share everything. We're not airing our dirty laundry, but it's important to show that there's a struggle as well, and that that like contributes to that authenticity. It makes it actually authentic, right? So drill down, you know, be selective, but take that mask off and actually like, be genuine. So what about you?Lesley Logan 28:42 Oh, well, you know, I love this his father's wisdom, who said, what's meant for you will never go by you. And the mantra that I say, which means the same thing, is, like, what is for you will not pass you, or you will not pass you. And I think that that's a really important thing, because it's really easy to, like, hang on to something because we're afraid that something else won't come along. But like, if it's meant for you, will not go by you. And it's something that, like, as our career has taken off, as our business continues to grow, I have to say no to a lot of things, and that means worrying. Oh my god, am I letting something go? Am I saying no to something that could have, like, changed the trajectory? And it's like, I have to trust that what is meant for me will never go by you. What is for me will not pass me. So I hope that gives you something to think about, because it's not going to be all fucking rainbows and glitter, especially right now. Like, it's really hard right now. And I want to recognize every single one of you are listening like, you open up the news and it's fucked, and then you have to go to work and go, how are you? Well, all things considered, not shitty, but, like, it's hard, especially especially as people who have empathy and feelings and and caring. And so you have to keep getting up, doing the best you can. If you live somewhere where you can call someone who represents you and yell at them for what they need to step up, do that, it's part of a great day, and then keep going because if you can affect one person's life to make it better, it does matter. I love that. Brad Crowell 30:04 Yeah, me too. Lesley Logan 30:04 I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 30:06 Well, before we do that, we just wanted to shout out. Brad has an upcoming conference that's called Empowerography. It's a live conference for 2026 It is Friday, April 24th, through Sunday, April 26th, and I'm pretty sure it's a virtual.

Identify one money belief and ask: “Where did I learn this?” Practice “acting as if” with posture, routines, and choices—not overspending. Write a present-tense letter about receiving a desired amount; notice your body's response. Stop comparing: your money story is personal, not a competition.

Clinicians saying they love your product doesn't mean hospitals will adopt it — and that gap is where clinician-led MedTech companies burn cash and lose momentum.In this episode, Hakeem is joined by Mark Tudor (20+ years in commercial leadership and advisory roles in medical devices) to break down why technically strong products stall after launch, how hospitals really decide what to buy, and how to build the commercial foundations that drive adoption, sales, and export readiness.Learn why commercial planning must run in parallel with product and regulatory workUnderstand what hospitals actually buy (risk management, simplicity, and economic clarity — not “better performance”)Get a practical lens for stakeholder mapping, validation beyond friendly opinions, and avoiding “inventor syndrome”Helping clinicians simplify their go-to-market strategy so they can stop guessing and turn their working prototypes into international MedTech businesses.Decision point scenario: You're advising a clinician founder with regulatory approval, two pilot sites, one keen-but-unproven distributor, limited runway, and 90 days before board pressure. You can only prioritise one focus — what do you choose and why? (Mark answers in the next episode.)If you tell me whether you want this episode to lean harder into adoption, hospital buying decisions, or export/distributor readiness, I'll pick the best 3 titles from above and tighten them even more.Message me via DM on LinkedinBook a 30 min discovery call for the Healthcare Export Accelerator ProgrammeThis podcast is for clinicians turning medical devices into real businesses, with practical insight on go to market strategy, exporting, and scaling in international MedTech.

Property is supposed to be the ultimate safety net… so why does it sometimes just feel like stress (and a second full-time job you never applied for)? Today we’re getting into the accidental landlord era. AKA what happens when your old home becomes an investment property, but you actually hate being a landlord? We’re talking profit maths, property managers, emergency funds, what “safety net” really means, and the truth about whether you could even move back in if things went sideways.Then it gets very spicy with a DM that asks: should you give your partner your banking password? They don’t live together, it’s not a shared account.... and suddenly we’re in full red-flag territory. We break down financial boundaries, fraud risks, what the banks actually say and the difference between transparency and handing over the keys to your emergency fund. Plus of course, your money wins, elite broke tips, and your classic Friday chaos. WANT TO INVEST IN PROPERTY WITHOUT BEING A LANDLORD?: Listen to our episode You Can Invest in Property With $5.

What happens when you take a centuries-old, traditional industry and inject it with vibrant color? This week, Cassie sits down with Alice Carroll, Co-Founder of Foxes Bow Irish Whiskey, to discuss the art of strategic disruption. Alice breaks down her journey from "stealthily stealing secrets" at major whiskey multinationals to launching an independent brand that refuses to play by the rules. We explore how being the "only woman at the table" became her greatest creative advantage, the tactical data she used to get retailers to say "yes" to a non-traditional design, and why she believes distinctiveness is more valuable than differentiation in 2026. Whether you're an entrepreneur in a "stiff" industry or a marketer struggling to find your authentic voice on camera, Alice's "warts-and-all" approach to brand building is the shot of inspiration you need.Key Takeaways:// Why looking at adjacent industries (and what your target audience follows on Instagram) is more effective than looking at your direct competitors when designing a brand.// How Alice leveraged her perspective as an "outsider" in a male-dominated category to spot the massive white space that legacy brands were too risk-averse to touch.// How to use consumer research and "hard facts" about audience pain points to convince conservative stakeholders to approve bold, eclectic designs.// The secret to building a brand that is instantly recognizable on any shelf or social feed, regardless of the context.// Why Alice is betting on a 2026 trend toward vibrancy, color, and "social middle-ground" wellness over the beige, minimalist extremes of recent years.// Why "boring" behind-the-scenes failures (like 20 misprinted billboards) often drive more engagement and trust than polished, high-production brand content.// Advice for the "camera-shy" on how to park your ego and let your audience's engagement dictate your content strategy.Connect with Alice: InstagramLearn More About Foxes Bow: Website____Join the MHH Collective!

Blayne Alexander sits down with Keith Morrison to discuss his original series, “Murder & Magnolias.” In 2017, a bitter divorce between prominent Charleston, South Carolina, couple Chris and Nancy Latham spiraled into a murder-for-hire investigation that stunned the community. Blayne and Keith break down the key moments in the case, including the unlikely person who helped authorities crack it, and the “hit packet” that brought the plot into focus. Plus, Dateline producer Carol Gable joins the conversation to discuss where Nancy Latham is today and what it took to report the story. Keith also talks about what -- if any -- his aspirations were before getting into journalism, and the team reflects on some of their most dangerous moments in the field. Plus, they answer viewer and listener questions. Have a question for Talking Dateline? DM us @DatelineNBC or leave a voicemail at (212) 413-5252.

Florida February ends the only way it can: with a party that goes completely off the rails. In this finale episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, we cover a Florida police chase in Seminole County involving Jennifer Kaufman, Jamie Young, and Erin Thomas, who allegedly stole a car while searching for a party — only for one suspect to end up cornered in a pasture by cows. Trevin shares a listener story from A-Line about a chaotic 22nd birthday featuring a party mom, too much alcohol, a bottle of Grey Goose, and a chair-wielding fight with a pseudo-uncle that escalates fast. Before the crimes, Trevin tackles unexpected “man work” with a furnace repair while Amanda visits the University of Kansas (KU) campus for a college basketball game — where a Westboro Baptist Church protest turns into awkward karaoke. The crew also plays Florida trivia, covering the 3,500-year-old bald cypress known as The Senator in Longwood and the history of the Conch Republic, the Florida Keys region that briefly seceded from the United States, declared war, and immediately requested foreign aid. From drug-fueled bad decisions to birthday party brawls, this Florida February Finale proves that if you party in Florida long enough… the cows will come home. Today's Stories: Utterly Foolish A-Line's 22nd Birthday

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about the quiet, unsettling experience many first responders have after intense calls—the moment when the adrenaline fades, the scene is over, but instead of feeling relief, sadness, or even shock… you feel nothing. Not calm. Not peace. Just blank. This is the emotional shutdown that often follows high-impact incidents. The kind where you know something big just happened, but your body and mind seem to go offline instead of processing it. You're back at the station or home with your family, but internally you feel distant, muted, and disconnected from your own emotions.
What happens when betrayal doesn't just hurt a relationship—but shakes your identity? On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, Julie Feldman shares the inner work of rebuilding self-trust after life breaks you open. This episode is for parents, founders, and anyone who's been carrying too much while questioning their worth. You'll hear practical reflections on boundaries, intuition, victim-patterns, and how self-accountability can become a turning point toward a more aligned life. About the Guest: Julie Feldman is the founder and CEO of Aurenda. She's a mom of three and wellness entrepreneur who speaks openly about betrayal, self-trust, and rebuilding from hard seasons. Episode Chapters: 00:02:43 — When life cracks you open: the real cost of betrayal 00:04:19 — “Unshakable faith”: rebuilding intuition step-by-step 00:07:01 — How betrayal impacts self-worth (and the “AND” mindset) 00:10:48 — The hidden betrayal: where we abandon ourselves 00:13:13 — Victim patterns, accountability, and boundary repair 00:18:17 — Spotting narcissistic dynamics: love-bombing to gaslighting 00:28:15 — Where to connect + tools for grounding in self-worth Key Takeaways: Hold the “AND”: it was painful and you can learn from it. Track where you're giving your power away—then rebuild structure and boundaries. Notice victim-language patterns and name the choices that keep them alive. In business, self-worth shows up as energy—confidence changes what you attract. Learn relationship red flags early (love-bombing, testing trust, reality-twisting).

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Avik Chakraborty, we explore a simple but powerful question: what if your life isn't something you wait to improve—but something you actively write, one page at a time? This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck, burned out, or quietly living on autopilot. Kat Anselmo shares how “inner success” can look like daily check-ins, small habits that compound, and even symbolic shifts—like choosing a new name—to step into a renewed identity with more clarity, courage, and self-trust. About the Guest: Kat Anselmo is a yoga teacher and health coach based in Barcelona, Spain. She shares how yoga, meditation, and mindset practices supported her through major life changes, including creating a one-year personal contract to rebuild from the inside out. Episode Chapter: 00:10:50 — Opening: If your life is a book, are you writing it consciously? 00:13:13 — “Your book of inner success”: clarity, values, and direction 00:16:08 — When life breaks open: loss, change, and starting from zero 00:19:32 — The “baby steps” formula: movement, meditation, affirmations 00:20:02 — The one-year contract: commitment vs. casual goals 00:23:46 — Check-ins without burnout: the Wheel of Life reflection 00:28:01 — New identity, new name: why symbols can unlock real change Key Takeaways: Create a “Book of Inner Success”: write your goals, values, affirmations, and the person you're becoming. Start tiny: 10 minutes of movement, 3 minutes of meditation, 1 minute of affirmations. Make a personal “contract” with yourself—commit to what you can truly sustain. Use self-check-ins when you feel emotionally off, tired, or overwhelmed—pause before burnout. If a practice isn't working, don't force it—try again later or find what fits your season. Identity shifts can be symbolic and practical: language, self-talk, and even a new name can anchor change.

What if thinking about death earlier didn't make you fearful—but made you freer? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, executive coach Seth Clark explores how mortality awareness can bring more clarity, courage, and alignment into everyday decisions. This episode is for leaders, builders, and anyone feeling stuck in busy, reactive living. Seth unpacks why avoidance gives death more power, how modern culture keeps us distracted, and how “mini-deaths” like role changes can reshape priorities—so you lead with a longer-term view, not just the next quarter. About the Guest: Seth Clark is an executive coach, ordained Christian minister, and doctoral scholar studying meaning-making in the face of mortality. His work helps people use mortality awareness to live and lead with deeper purpose. Episode Chapter: 00:04:56 – Setting the topic: mortality awareness and purpose 00:07:33 – Why “befriending death” can bring more life 00:09:29 – The first time Seth witnessed someone die 00:10:34 – Avoidance gives death authority over us 00:12:41 – The “relationship” analogy: facing what's real 00:15:08 – Doomscrolling, validation, and staying numb 00:17:23 – Leadership timelines, mini-deaths, and long-term thinking Key Takeaways: Notice what you avoid—avoidance quietly runs your choices from the background. Treat death-awareness as a clarity tool, not something to obsess over. Interrupt doomscrolling when it fuels emotion but doesn't move you toward action. Ask: “What matters beyond this quarter/year?” to reset leadership priorities. Prepare for “mini-deaths” (role changes, endings) with intentional transitions. In grief, don't force mortality awareness—first allow the loss to be held with compassion.

In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Jacob Whitehead, and Carlos Fernandez tackle one of the hardest questions in the Christian faith: if God can heal, why doesn't He always do it? Diving into Acts 3 and the story of a man healed, the guys get personal, sharing real stories of praying for miracles that never came, wrestling with God's silence, and what faith actually looks like when the answer is no.This is an honest, vulnerable conversation about unanswered prayer, suffering, and why you can still trust God even when He doesn't do what you asked.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes168To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comIn 2020, John Paul Rice went on Instagram Live to speak out after the new film he released called "A Child's Voice" was suddenly taken down off Amazon and made unavailable. The film had an incredible message with nods to (gently) exposing satanic ritual abuse and organized child abuse and was a fantastic depiction of the realities of child trafficking and hidden networks of crime syndicates that operate under our noses targeting children and using them as commodities. Compared to many films showcasing similar topics, "A Child's Voice" was (and is) a minimally graphic film with an overly accurate portrayal of child abuse crimes. The censorship on Amazon was an abomination and slap in the face for such a carefully crafted independent film advocating for the rights of children. John took to Instagram Live to vent about this censorship but instead began a conversation about the topic of his film existing all over the world in secret - hiding in every corner of society. His unplanned and unscripted speech went viral instantly and became a moment of awakening to so many listening on the other side of the screen. Survivors were given a voice and listeners had a veil lifted from over their eyes. John's words were moving - exposing darkness enveloped in the love and compassion he brings to every conversation. Raw, vulnerable, true and worded in a way only John Paul Rice could do. "We live in a child abuse society" John proclaims while offering solutions to these atrocities and revealing that the solution was and always is... us.WATCH JPR'S VIDEOS ON 'THE IMAGINATION' PODCAST:S2E37 | John Paul Rice - Hollywood, Collective Consciousness, LOVE, & Prioritizing 'A Child's Voice'https://youtu.be/kvnUouLdrxUS3E12 | John Paul Rice: Ending Global Child Abuse Systems by Imagining Potentials That Don't Exishttps://youtu.be/B33alp3TIuUCONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show
