This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sat down with Julianne Fraser, founder and CEO of Dialogue NYC, a marketing and strategy consultancy bridging the gap between purpose-driven brands and the ever-evolving world of digital influence. With a deep understanding of the influencer and social media marketing space, Julianne built Dialogue on the belief that influence should be rooted in authenticity and trust, not just reach. Her work centers on crafting intentional campaigns that align brands with creators who genuinely reflect their values and cultivate long-term loyalty.Before launching Dialogue in 2017, Julianne built a career across top agencies and startups, where she noticed a recurring pattern: brands chasing fast, surface-level partnerships without investing in real connections or storytelling. However, she knew this was a key part to thoughtful content strategy. Drawing from years of experience across both traditional and emerging platforms, Julianne developed a vision for a more thoughtful approach to influencer marketing, one that prioritized relationship-building, creative alignment and lasting impact. With that mindset, she stepped out on her own and began building the foundation for what would become a trusted consultancy grounded in purpose and perspective.In this episode, Julianne shares what it's been like to grow a company in an industry that rarely slows down. From building trust with creators to managing rapid shifts in the digital landscape, she reflects on the importance of boundaries, long-term thinking and protecting the integrity of the brands she represents. We also talk about how she's built a business model that leaves space for real life, something she believes is critical to both creative energy and sustainable growth.Thank you for listening!

In this heart-open, mind-stretching class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath dives headfirst into one of the most profound questions ever asked: Who wrote the Torah and what do we mean by G-d? Sparked by a challenge from Ilana, a thoughtful soul who just "won the raffle" and then handed Rabbi Bernath some of the hardest theological questions he's faced, this class isn't a debate, it's a bridge. Drawing from Torah, Talmud, Rambam, Tanya, Harari, Einstein, Spinoza, and Chassidic mystics, we explore traditional belief, academic scholarship, and the honest soul-searching that sits between them.Is the Torah a divine blueprint or a human masterpiece? Or… could it be both?Together, we walk a path between Sinai and the seminar room, from ancient revelation to modern doubt and discover that sometimes, the questions themselves are the invitation to a deeper relationship with truth.Key Takeaways:Traditional Belief Holds Depth: Torah mi-Sinai means Moses recorded divine revelation over 40 years. It's not simplistic, it's layered and deeply rooted in Jewish collective memory.Modern Scholarship Brings Honest Challenges: Thinkers like Harari argue that the Torah was assembled over centuries, reflecting political and social needs. These critiques must be addressed, not ignored.Kabbalah and Chassidus Provide a Bridge: Divine revelation doesn't exclude human expression. The Torah flowed through Moses' voice and personality, G-d worked with human vessels.Assumptions Shape Interpretation: Believers and skeptics alike interpret the same data through different axioms. Acknowledging this fosters respectful dialogue rather than defensiveness.The Torah's Endurance Is Itself a Testament: Its moral vision, power to unite, and enduring relevance across time and culture hint at something more than human genius, it points toward the Divine.This Is Not About “Winning” an Argument: It's about honesty, humility, and the courage to explore big questions together.The Torah Is a Living Document: Beyond history or philosophy, Torah continues to speak—not just inform, but transform. That may be its greatest proof of all.#Torah #God #Judaism #sinai #Moses #Divinerevelation #Documentaryhypothesis #YuvalNoahHarari #Kabbalah #Jewishtradition #BiblicalCrticism #Tanya #Spinoza #chassidus #Faith #theology Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

What if your understanding of God as Father has been shaped more by wounds than by truth? In this deeply restorative episode, Elizabeth and Kimberly guide listeners through a profound exploration of how we view God and the ways our misconceptions limit our experience of His love.Drawing from personal experiences, including Sylvia Gunter's transformative journey from performance to belovedness, this conversation reveals how our relationships with earthly fathers often color our perception of our heavenly Father. The revelation that changes everything? As Jesus demonstrated by using the tender term "Abba" (similar to "Daddy"), God delights in you simply because you are His. This isn't just theological theory—it's the healing truth that can transform your spiritual walk from duty to delight.Through a beautiful portrait painted from Scripture, discover a Father who is faithful when others abandon you, generous beyond measure, compassionate in your struggles, and attentive to your every need. His love isn't earned through performance but lavished freely as a gift to His beloved children.Whether your earthly father was absent, abusive, or amazing, this episode will help you release distorted views and embrace the fullness of who God really is—your safe place, your provider, your protector, and the One who rejoices over you with singing. Ready to experience the Father's heart as never before?

What if we've misunderstood what children really need? In this powerful fourth appearance, Linda McGurk—Swedish-American journalist and bestselling author of There's No Such Thing As Bad Weather and The Open-Air Life—joins Ginny Yurich to remind us of a fundamental truth: nature is not a luxury or a seasonal activity—it is essential to childhood itself. Drawing from her Scandinavian upbringing and years of raising kids in both the U.S. and Sweden, Linda shares why outdoor play in all weather builds resilience, grit, and lifelong joy. From toddlers in rain puddles to teens hiking in storms, she makes a compelling case that getting outside every day isn't just nice—it's necessary. Together, Ginny and Linda dive into cultural contrasts, educational pressures, and why families in the U.S. often feel isolated in their efforts to raise nature-connected kids. They talk about building small communities of outdoor families, advocating for longer recess, and modeling an adventurous spirit—especially as mothers. Whether you're overwhelmed by busy schedules, worried about bad weather, or unsure how to begin, this episode offers simple shifts with lifelong impact. You'll walk away inspired to embrace discomfort, chase puddles, and pass down the quiet wisdom of a childhood spent outdoors.

The Biblical Case for Nationalism Against Global Empire | Crosspolitic Israeli political theorist Yoram Hazony makes the biblical case that nationalism is actually God's design for human flourishing. Drawing from Moses, the Hebrew prophets, and centuries of Protestant political thought, Hazony explains why independent nations with defined borders represent God's alternative to both tribal chaos and imperial tyranny. We dive deep into how the Old Testament laid the foundation for the Anglo-American tradition, why "neutral" public education was always a myth, and how conservative states can lead America back to biblical governance. If you've been told that loving your country makes you dangerous, this conversation will equip you with the scriptural and historical truth.

Enjoy the episode? Send us a text!Are you living with your spouse but feel like you're just living with a roommate? Do conversations revolve only around finances, kids, and chores, rather than the fun and passion you once shared? Many couples experience what's called a "companionate relationship," where intimacy and commitment are present, but the crucial elements of passion and eroticism have faded, often leaving one spouse yearning for more oneness and excitement. This often happens when deep security and intimacy lead to a level of predictability that can, over time, "de-eroticize" the relationship.But there's a powerful secret to reigniting that spark: Planned Surprise.While intimacy thrives on trust and predictability, allowing you to not worry about what's coming next, eroticism and passion flourish on "something new, something different, something unexpected". Predictability, in fact, kills eroticism.In this video, we reveal how to bridge this gap and stop feeling like roommates by intentionally adding passion back into your marriage. Drawing on insights from experts like world-renowned sexologist Dr. Barry McCarthy, we explain:*   Why Predictability Kills Passion: Intimacy provides security, a deep part of closeness where you don't expect surprises. However, eroticism dies when there are no surprises and everything becomes extremely predictable. You could become habituated and de-eroticized unless you're intentional about not doing that.*   The "Surprise Scenario" Exercise: Discover a practical method from the "Becoming One" workbook where each spouse plans out three unique "surprise scenarios". The key is that they review these scenarios together first to cross out anything that "ain't going to happen" or might cause "sexual inhibition".*   The Power of Anticipation (Dopamine): Learn how the actual surprise works: your spouse doesn't know *when, where, or how* one of these pre-approved scenarios will unfold, creating a delightful and sustained anticipation. As the source explains, dopamine has more to do with the anticipation than the event itself. This means there could be a "low-level dopamine" thrill throughout the month, which increases if a clue appears.*   How to Get Started and Keep the Momentum: We discuss how you can gently introduce this concept, even if your spouse is initially hesitant, perhaps by trying a non-offensive surprise without warning them first, much like one husband did by transforming his living room into a "South Pacific" scene to encourage "new anticipatory things". It's crucial for the planned event to actually happen; otherwise, the drop in dopamine and trust can be worse than if they weren't expecting it.Don't settle for a passionless marriage. It's time to become intentional about rekindling the romance and returning to that "craving for oneness" that defines true passion. Watch now to learn the surprising way to transform your roommate situation back into a vibrant, passionate marIf you're struggling in your marriage, don't wait.

The Biblical Case for Nationalism Against Global Empire | Crosspolitic Israeli political theorist Yoram Hazony makes the biblical case that nationalism is actually God's design for human flourishing. Drawing from Moses, the Hebrew prophets, and centuries of Protestant political thought, Hazony explains why independent nations with defined borders represent God's alternative to both tribal chaos and imperial tyranny. We dive deep into how the Old Testament laid the foundation for the Anglo-American tradition, why "neutral" public education was always a myth, and how conservative states can lead America back to biblical governance. If you've been told that loving your country makes you dangerous, this conversation will equip you with the scriptural and historical truth.

Galatians 2: Identity, Intimacy, and the Freedom Beyond Performance In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue their series on Galatians by diving into chapter two—where Paul boldly defends the gospel of grace and challenges efforts to impose law-driven faith on new believers. Through humor, baseball analogies, and historical insight, the hosts explore the cultural tension between Jewish and Gentile followers and how those same dynamics show up in modern faith and identity struggles. The conversation centers on the difference between living in performance-based religion versus intimacy with God. Michael and SJ reflect on Paul's confrontation with Peter, the deeper meaning of justification by faith, and the subtle ways we still try to earn what Christ has freely given. Drawing from personal stories, cultural comparisons, and even Tim Keller's commentary, this episode offers both theological depth and real-life application. The message is clear: our worth doesn't come from rituals or appearances—it comes from being known, loved, and justified in Christ. This episode also spotlights Zoweh's Base Camp, a powerful resource for men seeking spiritual growth, healing, and deeper connection with God and others.

1st Annual Global Neurodivergent Leaders Summit 2025   This event spotlighted the brilliance of leaders who were once labeled as “disabled” simply because they think differently.   These trailblazers—CEOs, Global speakers, Executive coaches, and Industry Titans from Banking, Real Estate, and the Global Sales and Marketing —have leveraged their ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, and other forms of neurodivergence as superpowers that set them apart. Let's celebrate and elevate those who are changing the world—not in spite of how they think, but because of it.   Raymond Kemp Title: Navigating with a Different Compass (Leading with ADHD in a Neurotypical World) Summary: Leadership isn't reserved for those who think in straight lines. It's about clarity, self-command, and the courage to lead from exactly where you are. I want every leader in the room—whether neurodivergent or not—to walk away knowing that different doesn't mean deficient. When you understand your wiring and Own the Helm, your unique perspective becomes a competitive advantage, not a compromise.   Kathy Marcino Title: Coaching Through Conflict: Learn Strategies for Identifying Conflict Types, Successfully Navigating Workplace Conflict, and Turning It into Positive Growth. Summary: “Disagreement holds the potential for deeper understanding.” When conflict is managed effectively, it can drive innovation and enhance team performance. In this session, Kathy Marcino walks leaders through a structured path for transforming disagreements into shared goals and solutions. Drawing from her extensive coaching experience, she equips participants with a framework to recognize early warning signs, stay grounded in difficult conversations, and co-create lasting resolutions that strengthen team dynamics and performance.   Dan Dominguez Title: Embrace Your Neurodivergent Edge: How Self-Awareness Fuels Resilient Leadership Summary: When I first entered the military, I thought I had to be just like everyone else—follow the rules, fit in, and never let my differences show. But in the heat of tough missions, something clicked: the way my mind worked—my neurodivergent wiring—wasn't a liability. It was my edge. Later, in the world of sales, I saw the same truth again: those traits I once hid—my intense focus, my out-of-the-box thinking, my deep desire to help others—were exactly what helped me forge real connections and close deals. It took self-awareness to stop fighting those parts of myself and start using them as strengths. In this talk, I share that journey, along with a simple framework—Recognize, Accept, Celebrate—to help others stop hiding and start embracing their own neurodivergent edge. My story is a reminder: your greatest leadership potential lies not in fitting in, but in owning and celebrating who you really are. Paul McCarthy Title: Drowning out the voices we need to hear. Why F.I.R.E.D. leaders are your 'hidden gems' Summary: Two Options:Talk Summary 1 To survive disruption, organizations need leaders who possess disruptive leadership capabilities. So they hire them and then they fire them. Publicly, organizations say they want leaders to be innovative thinkers who challenge the status quo. Privately, conventional leadership culture wants nothing of the sort. Leaders with disruptive leadership capabilities often embody the very leadership qualities that organizations so desperately need to navigate disruption and adapt to the “new normal” of constant change, yet these leaders are being marginalized, ostracized, and even exorcised from today's organizations. We will need a different kind of leader for the future and our organizations are unprepared for how to identify, recruit, onboard, and develop this kind of leader. Join us for a radical, refreshing talk with Paul McCarthy, as openly talks about the untalkable, questions the unquestionable, and reframes perceptions about the leadership we desperately need for our times. Paul will share insights from his own experiences as a leader with disruptive leadership capabilities, as well as from his global research and first best-selling book into how individual leaders can be identified, cultivated, and embraced for being disruptive. He will also help us to understand how we can identify disruptive leadership capacity and capability. Talk Summary 2 Paul takes audiences on an exploratory journey to imagine a future where leaders who are currently perceived as 'not fitting in' or as 'bad culture fits' are the ones that organizations will increasingly need to thrive in a constantly changing environment. Yet these leaders are being marginalized, ostracized, and even exorcised from today's organizations. Using his own personal experiences, as well as research, case studies and outputs of interviews, Paul introduces the F.I.R.E.D. Leadership Framework and shows organizations why we need to embrace leaders who think differently. By helping reframe how organizations perceive their 'agitators', Paul shows how to cut through the noise to equip those organizations with the approach needed to create the next generation of leaders our world so desperately needs to successfully navigate ongoing disruption, continue to innovate and deliver transformative outcomes.   Dr. Regeline “Gigi” Sabbat Title: “You Can Lead” ( Regardless if you are Neurodivergent you can lead. - Dr. Gigi Sabbat)   Summary: Absolutely — being neurodivergent does not limit your ability to lead. In fact, many neurodivergent individuals bring exceptional strengths to leadership, such as: • Unique perspectives and creativity • High levels of focus and dedication • Empathy and emotional intelligence • Innovative problem-solving • Resilience and adaptability Leadership isn't about fitting a mold — it's about authenticity, vision, and the courage to empower others. Whether you're neurodivergent or not, your lived experiences can shape you into a powerful, impactful leader. Manny Piñiero Title: “Wired Differently - Neurodivergent Leadership and the Power of Intentional Time" Summary: Wired differently, I thrive in navigating complexity, identifying patterns others may overlook, and creating meaningful systems that honor both people and outcomes. My connection to time is not just about efficiency, it's about intentionality. I believe in making time count by aligning actions with purpose, fostering environments that empower teams to do the work that truly matters, while leading with clarity, empathy, and a deep respect for the diverse ways people think, work, and thrive.   Holly White Title: Radical is Relative: Trusting Your Instincts Before the World Catches Up Summary: Some of the most powerful insights come from minds that don't follow conventional paths. In this talk, I explore how ADHD-related cognition—nonlinear, spontaneous, and deeply intuitive—often leads to ideas that feel radical to others but entirely natural to the thinker. We'll examine why these ideas meet resistance, how traits like discomfort with uncertainty affect their reception, and what it means to trust your instincts in a world that hasn't caught up yet. Whether you're the one generating paradigm-shifting ideas or the one receiving them, “trust the process” becomes more than a mantra—it's a model for creative courage, leadership, and cognitive integrity.   Rosie Ward Title: Ditch the Head Trash! Upgrade Your Faulty Programming So You Can Maximize Your Impact Summary: Being human is messy. We are hardwired to be on high alert for threats, activating our biological hardwired instincts to self-protect and cling tightly to what is familiar. Yet our world demands that we are able to lean into discomfort and disruption. This creates a gap that keeps us stuck more than we realize. This session will normalize our shared human experience for why we get in our own way as a result of our 7 Faulty Programs and give you tangible tools to upgrade your own faulty programming so you can embrace your own sparkle and maximize your shine and impact around you.   David Citron Title: Unleash Your ADHD Superpower in 4 Minutes a Day Summary: In this talk, David Citron, founder of Expressocoaching.com which serves ADHDers who lead organisations in 31 countries worldwide shares the 3 keys to unleashing your ADHD Superpower as a neurodivergent leader. This powerful methodology which has a 4.8* Trustpilot rating from thrilled leaders around the world can change the next 30 years of your life. Expresso has been used by everyone from small business owners to large corporations like Microsoft in order to bring out the very best from the talented neurodivergents in their senior leadership team. Kick back and listen to the story of how the Expresso ADHD revolution began with one client called Joe who had a peculiarly, frustrating challenge. Kent Cravens Title: Expect Authenticity?......Be Authentic Yourself. Tips on building a culture based on Authenticity And Trust   Summary Many of us spend more waking hours with our work teams than we get to spend with our families. Authenticity And Trust are essential elements to creating a work environment that leads to sustained satisfaction and longevity in your team. Here are some tips to make sure you're moving in the right direction.

Drawing from Psalm 23:5 and powerful biblical and modern illustrations, he exposes the danger of “running on empty” in life and ministry.From the tragic plane crash of a seasoned pilot to the foolish virgins who had no oil when the bridegroom arrived, this message is a wake-up call: It's not enough to look okay on the outside—your tank must be full on the inside.Learn: • Why spiritual burnout is often mistaken for normal ministry life. • The signs that you're ministering without the power of the Holy Spirit. • How God prepares a feast in the middle of your fiercest battle. • Why daily renewal is not optional in the last days. • And how to step into God's overflow and receive supernatural refreshing.

Send us a textBaseball's developmental landscape has undergone a massive shift in recent years. The glittering allure of travel baseball—with its showcases, fancy uniforms, and promises of exposure—has many believing it's the superior path to player development. But is it really?Drawing from 27 years of high school coaching experience and 8 seasons in travel baseball, Coach Ken Carpenter delivers a thought-provoking analysis of what's truly best for young athletes. The fundamental difference? High school coaches develop student-athletes while travel programs often treat players as clients. This critical distinction changes everything about how players learn the game, handle adversity, and grow as individuals.High school baseball offers something travel ball simply cannot: comprehensive development six days a week under coaches who see it all—the triumphs, failures, character under pressure, and classroom performance. These coaches teach players to compete rather than simply perform, to serve rather than expect privilege, and to represent something larger than themselves. Meanwhile, travel baseball's weekend tournament structure, often lacking accountability measures or developmental focus, frequently prioritizes exposure and winning over player growth.College coaches still call high school coaches first when evaluating prospects—not for skills assessment, but to understand a player's character, work ethic, and response to adversity. As former MLB manager Joe Madden noted, today's system of over-specialization is burning kids out and filling their heads with false promises. The solution isn't eliminating travel baseball, but creating better collaboration between both worlds with proper oversight, certification requirements, and a shared commitment to what matters most: developing not just better baseball players, but better human beings.Subscribe to Baseball Coaches Unplugged for weekly conversations with the game's best coaches who are preserving baseball's soul while navigating its changing landscape.

What happens when the reflection staring back at you no longer matches the youthful image in your mind? In this episode, we peel back the layers of the “midlife mirror” to explore how aging intersects with body image, vanity, and the deep-seated need for validation.

In this episode, I dive into the importance of planning, even when uncertainty looms. Drawing from my experience coaching a client and working in retail, I emphasize that having a plan provides direction and makes adapting easier than starting from scratch. I break down three calendar blocking techniques: Specific time blocks (precise task scheduling)Large time blocks (broader time slots with detailed task descriptions)Flexible time blocks (adaptable scheduling around available time)The key is to avoid leaving your calendar blank just because you're waiting on potential commitments. Instead, I recommend proactively mapping out your day, considering potential client meetings or unknown variables. By planning around these uncertainties, you can maintain productivity and feel more in control. I share a practical example of how to approach a day with potential client scheduling, suggesting ways to allocate time effectively. This episode underscores that planning isn't about creating a rigid schedule, but about giving yourself a framework for success! Free Resources:Join 30 Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint and finally feel in control. ​Click here to join the next round. ​Are you a business owner making $100,000+ and still wearing all the hats? ​Click here​ to learn about my upcoming 12-week Outsourcing Mastermind.Are you an aspiring or newer business owner who needs some accountability and clarity on the next steps? ​Click here​ to join my 6-month accountability group - Simplify.
