Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday. In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones speaks to parents who feel uneasy when their daughter goes quiet and the silence feels overwhelming.Melissa reframes silence as a normal—and often healthy—part of growth, not a sign of disconnection. She explains why pushing for conversation or jumping to conclusions can create distance, and how calm presence, patience, and space can actually strengthen your bond. Through personal stories and practical insight, Melissa shows how connection doesn't always come from talking, but from simply staying steady and available.Tune in to discover:Why silence isn't something to fearWhat not to do when your daughter shuts downHow presence and non-verbal connection build trustWhy giving space can deepen your relationshipThis episode is a reassuring reminder that you don't have to fill every quiet moment to stay connected. Sometimes, showing up calmly is more than enough.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

In this episode of The Loveall Sales Podcast, I'm coming to you fresh off the NADA Academy in McLean, Virginia—an experience fewer than 1% of people in the automotive industry ever get to have. What I learned reinforced one powerful truth:Everything in sales—and in life—comes down to your foundation.I break down what a real foundation actually is:SkillsetMindsetWork ethicProcessDisciplineWillingness to invest in yourselfI share my journey from making 300–600 cold calls a day, hearing dozens of no's daily, eating mac and cheese for months, and staying up until 2–4 a.m. mastering the phone—to becoming a top performer who sold 50–60 cars a month, hit a 64.5-car record, and earned over $400,000 at a small-market Volkswagen store where most people said success was impossible.We talk about:Why most salespeople stay reactive instead of proactiveWhy excuses kill careers faster than bad marketsHow phone mastery changes everythingWhy great managers build people up—not tear them downHow investing over $40,000 in my own education allowed me to give back and change livesI also open up about battling cancer, walking away from dealership life, and why building a sales training company became my mission—to help more people faster, with zero excuses.If you're a salesperson, manager, GM, or dealer, this episode will challenge you to take ownership of your results, strengthen your foundation, and go all in on becoming the best version of yourself—inside and outside of work.Because at the end of the day, hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard… and imagine if you had both.Believe in yourself—because I do.

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/NCUA exam reports often contain more than meets the eye.Examiner findings, supplementary facts, and documents of resolution may look like routine supervisory language — but each serves a distinct purpose and sends a different signal to credit union boards and management.In this episode of With Flying Colors, Mark Treichel is joined by former NCUA senior leaders Steve Farr and Todd Miller to break down how exam reports are structured, how issues escalate, and what credit unions should be paying attention to long before enforcement actions appear.Drawing on decades of NCUA experience, the discussion explains how examiners decide where issues belong in the report, why volume matters as much as severity, and how governance and communication failures often sit at the root of repeat findings.This is an evergreen episode for any credit union executive, board member, or compliance professional who wants to better understand what NCUA is really saying — and how to respond effectively.In This Episode, We Discuss:The practical differences between examiner findings, supplementary facts, and documents of resolutionWhy a long list of “minor” findings can be a major warning signHow supplementary facts are used to signal emerging risk and specialist concernsWhat elevates an issue into a document of resolutionThe SMART framework examiners are expected to use — and where it breaks downHow unresolved issues contribute to CAMEL rating pressureWhy corporate governance increasingly appears in exam reportsThe role communication plays in preventing escalationWhat boards should ask before approving a document of resolutionWho Should Listen:Credit union board membersCEOs and executive leadership teamsCompliance, risk, and governance professionalsCredit unions preparing for an upcoming NCUA examInstitutions experiencing repeat findings or growing examiner scrutinyKey Takeaway:NCUA exam reports are not just compliance documents — they are communication tools. Understanding how examiners signal concern helps credit unions prioritize issues, respond proportionately, and avoid unnecessary escalation.About the Host:Mark Treichel is a former senior NCUA executive and the founder of Credit Union Exam Solutions. With more than three decades of regulatory experience, Mark helps credit unions understand NCUA expectations and navigate examinations with confidence.

Binary questions are easy — and often misleading.In this episode, we break down one of the most powerful (and underused) communication tools in pelvic health, leadership, and life: the 0–10 scale.Instead of asking questions that are heavily influenced by power dynamics, assumptions, or people-pleasing (“Are you okay with this?”), the 0–10 scale opens the door to nuance, curiosity, and honesty.We discuss:Why yes/no questions shut conversations downHow a 0–10 scale creates psychological safety and intellectual humilityHow defining the ends of the scale matters just as much as the numberWhy the scale naturally leads to better follow-up questionsHow this tool keeps conversations collaborative instead of adversarialWe shares real-world examples of using the scale:Gaining consent for internal vaginal or rectal treatmentAsking about comfort with students or shadowingClarifying goals like returning to running or biking (and whether those are real goals)Interviewing clinicians and understanding true interest in patient populationsNavigating employee requests without jumping straight into actionThis simple shift turns communication into interaction — and helps you gather better information, build trust faster, and avoid unnecessary conflict.

Send us feedback or episode suggestions.As AI compresses the distance between idea and execution, the abstractions that once made design tools necessary are becoming points of friction. In this conversation, Knapsack leaders Chris Strahl, Evan Lovely, and Robin Cannon make the case that the future of digital production starts in the medium products actually ship in, code. They unpack why design systems are infrastructure, not artifacts, how context becomes the critical input for enterprise AI, and why creating directly in code unlocks faster iteration with higher fidelity. This shift changes who gets to create, how teams work together, and what it means to scale ideas instead of just processes.In this episode, you'll hear about:AI as an enabler of human creativity, not a replacementWhy prototype-first workflows are breaking downHow the Intelligent Product Engine supports real product creationWhat it looks like for designers, developers, and product teams to build, refine, and ship togetherView the transcript of this episode.Check out our upcoming events.If you want to get in touch with the show, ask some questions, or tell us what you think, send us a message over on LinkedIn.GuestEvan Lovely is the co-founder and CTO of KnapsackRobin Cannon is the Head of Product at KnapsackHostChris Strahl is co-founder and CEO of Knapsack, host of @TheDSPod, DnD DM, and occasional river guide.

Episode DescriptionMost women are taught there are only two ways to move through conflict and relationships:Be nice → swallow your feelings, smooth things over, keep the peace at your own expenseBe strong → armor up, go sharp, cut people off, or handle everything yourselfNeither one feels good. Neither feels like you.In this episode of Is It Me or Is It Them?, I share the lightning-bolt insight that helped me name the heart of what so much of my work is really about: a third way for women, a middle ground where you don't have to choose between being a doormat or a battle axe, where you can hold soft power: clear, kind, and steady.You'll hear how over-tolerating and over-hitting both come from the same place (fear), what it means to live from simply zeroing in on what's actually true, and how the Bold as Love Collective helps women practice this “soft AND strong” way of being in real life.In This Episode, We Explore:The two default “templates” many women are handed:be nice (self-abandonment) or be strong (hard, defended, distant)Why both options come from the same place: fear of conflict, rejection, and being “too much” or “not enough”How swinging between silence and explosion keeps you out of alignment with what you actually wantWhy we need to get honest with ourselves faster and act and speak from here (What is really happening here? What is actually true for me? What do I want to see happen here?)The idea of soft power:soft without being a doormatstrong without being a battle axeclear without being cruelhonest without burning everything downHow to set “rules of engagement” for yourself (your own internal policies for how you do relationship)Why “win–win relationships” can become a powerful compass when you're deciding how to respondThe difference between tidying your side of the street vs. trying to control how other people reactHow practicing this third way changes not just big conflicts, but the tiny everyday interactions with partners, family, coworkers, and strangersKey TakeawaysFeeling powerful because you snapped or withdrew is not the same as feeling grounded, confident and steady in your truth.Numbing out and blowing up are both protection strategies, not self-respect.Soft power sounds like: “I'm neither collapsing nor exploding. I'm steady. I'll have my own back, no matter what.”You can be honest and boundaried and still be loving, considerate, and kind.The real shift happens when your words and actions line up with who you actually want to be — even in the messy moments.Mentioned in This Episode: The Bold as Love CollectiveIf you're tired of choosing between being a doormat or being “the difficult one,” you'll love Bold as Love Collective— A 3-month coaching circle for women who want:clearer, cleaner boundaries (without guilt or explosion)fewer spirals before (and after) hard conversationsa steadier, more self-assured presence in their relationshipssoftness without disappearing; strength without the hard shellIt's part self-paced course, part live virtual circle, and fully focused on practicing this third way in the real world, with ourselves, the people we love and the ones who push our buttons.

In this special live Web Summit edition from Lisbon, I sit down with Tom Haworth, founder of D13 AI, to talk about why “good enough” AI might actually be one of the most dangerous places we can get stuck.And you'll hear Tom say it's time for the leaders of vibe coding platforms (e.g. Lovable, Replit, Cursor) to acknowledge that they're great when you need to “demo not memo”, but not great (today and maybe ever) at delivering production-grade, secure code. We also make a few detours as we detail a ridiculous week in Lisbon, including:How (shocker!) 90% of the conference was about AIWhy “good enough” AI is not a good place to beWhether we'll graduate to great AIAI's ROI now and in the futureWhy it's still iffy whether AI agents they can be trusted to accomplish complex jobsRobots wander Web Summit, do the Macarena, fall downHow tennis great Maria Sharapova uses (IBM's) AI How the presumptuous Web Summit's app prominently suggests we all message Maria… (as if!) Visa wants to help creators monetize (yay! it me!), using Web3 technologies (yes, they said “Web3”; no, I was not expecting to hear a non-ironic use of that phrase)Why self-driving cars are the best robots — and coming soon to more of EuropeHow much Web Summit pampers (and corrupts) the media: I was like a stuffed goose.

What does it mean to be good?It's a little word that carries a lot of weight for many of us. Be a good girl. Be a good friend. Be a good leader. Do good.Good can sound like praise, but become a cage of expectations and shoulds, a performance that chips away at our authenticity. Good is no longer something we are, but is how others see us. It leads us to people please and keep the peace at all costs. And that's especially true for women.All too often, when women are in leadership, their goodness is measured by how they make others feel–good, comfortable, understood. All of that matters. But when the measure of leadership becomes how comfortable other people feel around us, we lose something essential.We perform and manage emotions instead of building trust and respect. We seek to be liked and to fit in at the cost of real integrity and effectiveness. And likability is oh-so fleeting.Respect, integrity, and true belonging take time and discomfort to build, but they last.My guest today has written beautifully and bravely about the cost of being good, the truth of belonging, and the courage it takes to lead ourselves and others through discomfort.Elise Loehnen is the New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good and the host of the podcast, Pulling the Thread, where she interviews cultural luminaries about the big questions of today, including people like Joy Harjo, John and Julie Gottman, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Esther Perel. In addition to On Our Best Behavior, she is the author of a corresponding workbook—Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness—with coach Courtney Smith (July 2025), and the co-author of True & False Magic, with legendary psychiatrist Phil Stutz. Elise lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their sons, Max and Sam.Listen to the full episode to hear:How Elise traced the cultural roots of the “good woman” back to early Christianity and the many additions, erasures, and mistranslations of Biblical storiesWhy we need to pay attention to our envy and how it shows up in relation to other womenHow envy, pride, and greed fuel each other and the ways we stay small and tear other women downHow social media has heightened the risk of reputational damage and changed how women work and lead, for better and worseWhy we latch onto ideas of goodness and purity more deeply in times of greater uncertaintyHow current narratives about the “natural” order are ahistorical manipulations that limit what we believe is possibleLearn more about Elise Loehnen:WebsitePulling the Thread on SubstackInstagram: @eliseloehnenOn Our Best Behavior: The Price Women Pay to Be GoodChoosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming Your Full SelfTrue and False Magic: A Tools WorkbookLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone, Brené BrownEP 123: Befriending Your Nervous System: Building Capacity for Regulation with Deb DanaThe Intrinsic Order that Emerges from Within Chaos (Elinor Dickson, PhD)Dancing in the Flames: The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of Consciousness, Elinor Dickson and Marion Woodman EP 88: Right-Use-of-Power: Navigating Leadership Dynamics with Dr. Cedar BarstowEP 125: Power, Regulation, and Leadership: Connecting to Your Personal Power with Dr. Amanda AguileraThe Reprioritization of Relationship (Lori Gottlieb)Maybe You Should Talk To Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed, Lori GottliebLessons from Hollywood's Most Powerful Woman—And How They Can Help You (with Donna Langley) | Aspire with Emma GredeAnswer to Job, Carl JungAion: Researches Into the Phenomenology of the Self, Carl JungThe Science of Magic: How the Mind Weaves the Fabric of Reality, Dean Radin PhDMistakes Were Made (but Not By Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts, Carol Tavris and Elliot AronsonSigur Rós - YouTubeJónsi - YouTubeLove IslandThe Gilded AgeMaidenStutz

If the Seahawks won the Super Bowl with Sam Darnold, what are the implications on team building and do they change? Bump & Stacy break down what they think. // Four Down Territory: 1st Down: What do the Hawks have to continue to do? 2nd Down: How will WR’s have success in the pass game against commanders? 3rd Down: Who are your top 5 QB’s in the NFL? 4th Down: The Seahawks have allowed the fewest rushing yards from opposing running backs… but the fourth most receiving yards from running backs.

Does it ever feel like your teenager just doesn't hear you?You remind them about chores, offer advice, try to connect and all you get back is silence, an eye roll, or a quick “whatever.”In this encore episode, I unpack one of the biggest frustrations parents face: why teens seem to tune parents out and what's really going on beneath the surface.You'll hear about:Why advice often makes teens shut downHow to shift from “fixing” to listeningWhy chores and constant reminders can backfireWhat brain changes make teens focus on peers over parentsHow to respond in ways that build connection, not conflictIf your teen feels like they've stopped listening, this episode will help you understand why. and what small changes can help rebuild your connection.Listen now and find practical ways to reconnect with your teen.Resources:Explore my Connected Teens Course: https://marievakakis.com.au/connected-teensConnect with Marie https://thetherapyhub.com.au/ https://marievakakis.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/marievakakis/Submit a question to the Podcasthttps://forms.gle/nvNQyw9gJXMNnveY6

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface pull back the curtain on what it truly means to live ALL IN — not the motivational cliché, but the biblical, practical, and battle-tested reality. They show you the 5 most common and popular excuses that people buy into that keep them from going all in.Most people think “all in” means going 1000 percent every day. Garrett and Nick reveal why that mindset burns out more men than it builds. They break down the two true ingredients of being all in:Level of Effort (time and energy)Level of Commitment (belief and discipline)Through stories from the Navy SEAL teams, leadership lessons from business, and biblical parallels to marriage and faith, they explain how men can hold fast to the mission even when motivation fades.You'll learn:Why effort alone will never make you successfulThe “Big Five” reasons commitment breaks downHow to lead yourself and others when your leader or plan isn't perfectThe power of trust, belief, and consistency in every area of lifeWhat it really looks like to be a man who finishes what he startsThis episode is a gut-check for every Christian man who's tired of half-hearted living and ready to commit to the process, not just the feeling.Level up your life with IDLife nutrition by clicking here.Get signed up for the FREE Basic Discipline 30 Day Training Program - spirit, soul, and body by clicking hereApply to join Giant Killers here if you're a man that wants real accountability and training to become a leader.Level up your greatest asset (your thinking) with us in Mindset Mastery.
