Podcasts about empowered

What actually moves your health coaching business forward? It's usually not intense planning, automations, or perfectly designed systems. In this episode, I'm sharing three real stories from health coaches inside my Empowered mastermind who stopped waiting to feel "ready" and took imperfect action anyway. Each of them made money, signed clients, or uncovered unexpected opportunities by doing things before everything was set up. You'll hear how: Stephanie signed her first VIP pharmacist client before she even had a payment plan set up in Stripe Christina landed a paying client from her very first five-minute mini offer, before her pricing was finalized Heather stopped forcing big online launches and instead used 25 years of industry experience to spark interest from startup CEOs and company leaders These stories all happened recently, and they're honest, messy, and very real. If you've been stuck trying to get everything organized before you finally put yourself out there, hopefully this episode will help give you the confidence to take action!

Medical tests and treatments are dreaded by many because they often break the bank. But thanks to AI-empowered medicine, this unfortunate reality may be finally changed for the better. Zach Gurick is joined by Hunter Ziesing and Jesse Levy of Longevity Health, who harness the power of AI to close the gap between cutting-edge science and everyday life. They explain how they unpack a patient's why to provide them with customized longevity plans tailored to their specific biological needs. Hunter and Jesse also explain how to separate hype from science, the importance of focusing on data-driven disease prevention, and their mission to help one billion people live up to a hundred years old.The information presented in Fully Alive is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Are you ready for some real talk about what may be missing in your healthcare experience? Dr. Bob Uslander highlights the “gaps in care” we rarely name — gaps in planning, knowledge, understanding treatment options, and navigating care needs, including hospice. How does poor coordination in our healthcare system limit communication and leave crucial choices, like VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking), poorly understood and seldom discussed? And how can we better recognize life-enhancing services and therapies that improve quality of life, even while on the path of dying? Ultimately, how do we navigate complex medical situations with clearer information and better understanding of the limitations we will likely face?For more information on Best Life Best Death please visit our website at ⁠⁠www.bestlifebestdeath.com⁠⁠Follow us on our social channels to receive pertinent and helpful resources on death, grieving, and more at:Facebook: ⁠⁠www.facebook.com/bestlifebestdeath⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠www.instagram.com/bestlifebestdeath⁠⁠

If you've been stuck in negative self-talk, overwhelm, or the holiday-season hustle, this episode is your fresh breath of clarity. In this solo episode of The Discomfort Zone, I share two powerful mindset exercises that have helped me peel out of stress spirals, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with ease — even in the middle of a six-month injury that kept me off the river. Whether you're healing, navigating a busy season, or feeling mentally overloaded, these tools will help you shift from disempowered to empowered — which is exactly what mental agility is all about.

The holidays have a way of magnifying family dynamics that already feel heavy, tense, or emotionally draining. In this episode of Empowered With Gina, Gina Zapanta breaks down how to recognize toxic family patterns during the holiday season and, more importantly, how to protect your peace without drowning in guilt.Gina explains why feeling dread, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion around family gatherings is not a character flaw or a lack of gratitude. It is a sign of growing self-awareness. She walks through common toxic behaviors that resurface every year, including emotional labor, dismissed boundaries, passive aggression, and behaviors that get excused simply because “it's the holidays.”This episode offers practical guidance on how to stop overgiving, how to say no without overexplaining, and how to set boundaries that are realistic and enforceable. Gina also addresses the guilt that keeps people stuck in unhealthy patterns, including the fear of disappointing others, being judged, or being labeled selfish for choosing themselves.Listeners will learn how to limit their time, choose fewer events, create new traditions, and prepare exit strategies that prioritize emotional safety. Gina also prepares viewers for the backlash that can come when long-standing family roles change and explains why others' discomfort is not a reason to abandon yourself.This conversation is for anyone who is ready to stop surviving the holidays and start moving through them with clarity, confidence, and peace. The holidays will come and go, but your mental health, self-worth, and well-being remain. Protect them.#toxicfamily #toxicrelationships #podcast #empoweredwithgina #empowered #holidays

If you've done all the work, read the books, saved the posts, listened to the podcasts, and yet you're still ending up in the same relationship patterns, this episode is for you. I'm sharing the truths about attachment, dating, and healing that are often avoided because they're uncomfortable… but they're also the ones that actually create change. This is a grounded, compassionate, no-fluff episode about what's really keeping you stuck and what it actually takes to embody secure attachment and create healthy love.Inside the episode:Why you didn't choose your attachment style — and why it's still your responsibility to heal itThe hard truths about chemistry, emotionally unavailable partners, and behaviors that unintentionally push healthy love awayWhy intellectual insight alone doesn't heal attachment wounds — and what does lead to real, embodied changeIf you're tired of repeating cycles, outsourcing your healing, or waiting for the “right person” to fix things, this episode will help you see attachment, and yourself, in a completely new way.✨ Apply to the Empowered.Secure.Loved.® Program ✨If you're ready to stop looping in old patterns and finally embody secure attachment, I want to invite you to apply to my signature program, Empowered.Secure.Loved.® Applications are closing for the year, and this December we're offering Secure December: A Farewell Sale — a limited-time 70% off opportunity.This work changes everything, not just your relationships, but your nervous system, your self-worth, and your entire life.

Have you ever looked around your life and thought, “I can't keep living like this, but I don't know how to change?” You're not alone—and this episode is proof. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on real-life transformation as three courageous women—Rhonda, Jill, and Christine—share how the Empowered to Change program became the turning point in their painful, confusing, and lonely journeys. With raw honesty, these women recount where they began: stuck, afraid, unsure of who they were. And where they are now? Confident, courageous, and deeply rooted in Christ. You'll hear how they found clarity, community, and tools to step into the light—and how you can too. Key Takeaways You're Not Alone in the Fog Each woman entered Empowered to Change feeling lost and overwhelmed. Christine didn't even know her favorite color. Rhonda couldn't say she was a woman—she still saw herself as a little girl trying to manage everyone around her. Jill held her head low, gripped by shame. But God met them in their confusion, and they discovered they didn't have to walk alone. Identity Reclaimed Through Clarity and Courage Empowered to Change helped these women strip away the lies that kept them small and silent. As they did the internal work of self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-correction, their true God-given identities began to surface. Rhonda said it best: “I was fearfully dependent. Now I am confidently interdependent—me, God, and the other person.” Tools That Equip You for Real Life These women didn't just gain insight—they learned practical tools that changed the way they engaged with their relationships. Whether it was rehearsing hard conversations in the mirror, using healthy boundaries, or naming their emotions for the first time, they began to walk in freedom. “I didn't have a ‘no.' Now I can say ‘no' and mean it,” Rhonda shared. The Power of Safe Sisterhood A pivotal part of their growth? Community. These women found safety, support, and spiritual sisterhood within their group—and five years later, they're still walking together. They laugh, pray, and celebrate each other's wins and struggles. The healing they experienced made room for deep, lasting connection. Healing Is Possible—And Worth the Risk Perhaps the most powerful transformation was internal. Jill no longer suffers from migraines that once plagued her during her emotional turmoil. Christine now lives empowered and on mission. And Rhonda walks in the strength and courage she found in God. Their stories remind us that healing takes brave steps—but the reward is wholeness, freedom, and a deeper relationship with Christ. Personal Invitation If you heard yourself in these women's stories—if you're in that place of confusion, fear, or longing to rediscover who you are—Empowered to Change might be your next brave step. This Christ-centered coaching experience helps you: Clarify your identity in Christ Develop tools to navigate destructive patterns Build courage, set boundaries, and find your voice Walk in community with other women who truly get it Learn more and register here: https://www.leslievernick.com/growth

What if the most powerful step forward is… to stop?This short episode is a gentle invitation to pause with intention. It announces a brief break and a coming name change to The In Movement Podcast, all framed as part of a larger practice: letting ideas integrate instead of rushing to the next thing. You'll hear a simple reflection on why rest matters, how stepping back can create space for meaning, and a spoken passage on forgiveness, surrender, and inner strength that lingers long after the audio ends. If you're tired of constant input and craving a more grounded way to grow, this one asks you to breathe, soften, and let it land—so the next chapter can begin clear and true. —-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:00:24 Choosing a Pause00:01:27 A Season of Rest00:01:50 Rebrand: The In Movement Podcast00:02:19 Why Integration Matters00:02:57 Reading on Empowerment & Forgiveness00:04:44 Sit With the Words00:05:03 Stay Connected & See You in the New Year—-------—-------—-

Your body keeps the score, but it also leaves clues—and today we follow them. We sit down with Sharon Nielsen, a veteran RN with decades in emergency and critical care, who's now guiding women 40+ to reset their nervous systems, calm cortisol, and build a sustainable, joyful way to live. From the clogged chaos of the ER to the quiet clarity of holistic coaching, Sharon shares what really drives those midlife flare-ups: relentless stress, hormone shifts, and a nervous system that hasn't felt safe in years.We unpack the patterns clinicians see every day—diverticulitis, abdominal pain, headaches—and trace them back to chronic stress and changing estrogen. Sharon explains why standard protocols often miss the mark for multi-symptom women and how better conversations can change care: bring a symptom journal, connect timing to stressors, and ask directly about hormones, cortisol, and insulin resistance. We talk through practical resets that make biology easier: restorative movement, breath-led recovery, protein-forward meals with fiber, and clear boundaries that protect sleep and energy. Small, consistent margins of calm add up to steadier glucose, fewer crashes, and more emotional bandwidth.Together we challenge cookie-cutter wellness, celebrate progress over perfection, and honor the brave act of saying no when your body asks for rest. If you've felt dismissed, rushed, or overwhelmed by mixed messages online, this conversation offers a kinder map: one that treats you as the gift and builds longevity day by day.If this resonates, follow and subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more women find the show.

You'll learn why I recommend setting a clear intention that helps you honour your boundaries and stay empowered rather than falling into old patterns of people-pleasing or self-neglect.In this episode, you'll explore:How setting a clear intention for the holidays helps you quiet the noise, focus on what truly matters, and release unnecessary pressure or expectations.The difference between what's yours to carry and what belongs to other people—and how to stop getting pulled into other people's drama or emotions.Why the story "I have to" keeps you disempowered, and how owning your power of choice (even when it feels uncomfortable) brings you back into agency.Simple strategies for preparing yourself before holiday events, including identifying regulating strategies for when you get activated, pre-deciding your boundaries, and building in daily rest and recovery time.How to be honest about internal conflict without shame—and why truth-telling is the pathway to integrity, empowerment, and ultimately more freedom and joy.Being on your own side during the holidays isn't selfish—it's the foundation for showing up regulated, present, and truly able to create the experiences you actually want.Begin your year on purpose.

When betrayal enters a relationship, it doesn't just break trust - it fractures a person's sense of self, safety, and connection. In this episode, we explore the ten core wounds that betrayed partners often experience, each one carrying its own story and its own emotional truth:Worthiness Wound – “I'm not enough.”Safety Wound – “I'm not safe.”Reality Wound – “I can't trust myself.”Control Wound – “I have to manage everything.”Belonging Wound – “I'm alone in this.”Burden Wound – “I have to carry everything.”Abandonment Wound – “You'll leave me.”Inadequacy Wound – “I'm not as good as what I was betrayed with.”Powerlessness Wound – “I didn't have a choice.”Trust Wound – “Trust is dangerous.”Each wound reveals a different layer of the emotional devastation betrayal creates - and each one shapes how betrayed partners think, feel, and try to protect themselves in the aftermath.In this episode, Marnie breaks down what these wounds look like in real life, how they impact day-to-day interactions, and why healing them requires understanding, patience, and consistent repair. We also talk directly to betrayers, offering a compassionate but honest framework for recognizing the impact of their actions and supporting their partner's healing journey.This episode is an invitation to move beyond surface reactions and into the deeper emotional landscape of betrayal - where clarity, empathy, and repair become possible.

For this episode of Expecting and Empowered, Amy and Krystle are together to dive into healing as a mama of multiple c-sections. With two (or more) little ones to care for, potential for increased scar tissue, and necessary modifications needed after surgery, the sisters explain why every C-section deserves its own thoughtful recovery plan. They walk us through the most important priority—respecting the healing timeline—and stress that new parents do not need to “do it all” while their body is repairing.Amy and Krystle highlight practical, evidence-based guidance for the first weeks after surgery, and give a clear, week-by-week outline of what to expect during recovery while utilizing movement modifications to maximize healing. The episode also dives into breathing the right way—a detailed guide to practice it, and why it's a cornerstone of effective healing after a cesarean. Amy and Krystle explain when and why C-section scar mobilization can be helpful to build a healthy postpartum foundation. With so many women being c-section mamas, it's important to the Expecting and Empowered team to bring you helpful, whole-body, tips and strategies to help you feel empowered through your healing, whether your c-section was 1 day ago or 10 years ago!If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us @expectingandempowered.

This week, Dr. Uslander and I dive into the often-overlooked transition from hospital to home. How can that shift go more smoothly? What does it really take to understand a discharge summary? And how can families prepare for a period that is so often confusing, rushed, and chaotic? Unfortunately, the current U.S. medical system seems primarily designed to prioritize profit, increase efficiency, and reduce liability. As a result, far more responsibility lands on patients, families and caregivers. We are left to decipher medical instructions, identify gaps in care, ask for the right resources, and advocate for ourselves and our loved ones at exactly the time when we may feel least able to do so. This week's conversation on BLBD explores ways to navigate this transition with more clarity and confidence.

When life feels bigger than your strength, God’s provision becomes your power. Ezra 5:5 reminds us that when God gives an assignment—whether rebuilding a life, leading a family, launching a ministry, or facing opposition—His hand stays on His people until the work is complete. The returning exiles discovered that divine calling comes with divine supply, even when challenges rise and fear tries to stall our obedience. Highlights God equips us fully for every assignment He places in our hands—strength, resources, and support. The exiles returned to devastation, yet God’s favor and miraculous provision met them on arrival. Opposition, intimidation, and discouragement threatened to halt their progress, but God’s presence stayed constant. His faithfulness guaranteed the completion of the rebuilding—He finishes what He begins. Following Jesus includes hardship, but we “take heart” because He has already overcome the world. Romans 8 reminds believers that nothing can separate us from Christ or stop His purposes. Through Him, we live not as survivors but as “more than conquerors,” empowered to persevere.

Full Transcript Below: Divinely Empowered for Our Greatest ChallengesJennifer Slattery (host of Faith Over Fear) Bible Reading:But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease till the matter should come to Darius, and then answer should be returned by letter concerning it. (Ezra 5:5, ESV) Today’s verse and the historical context surrounding it assure us that when God assigns us a task, be that to raise children, complete a work project, lead a team, launch a ministry, or pursue a dream, He gives us everything we need to do all that He asks. And while we will likely always experience opposition, whenever we seek to live for Jesus, the events recorded in Ezra and Nehemiah also assure us that He is greater than any opposition we’ll face. In short, He finishes what He begins. The question is, how will we respond when difficulties come? Will we cower in fear, falter in fatigue, or trust in His provision, protection, and care? Presumably, this was a question with which Ezra, the religious leader introduced in the Bible book bearing his name, and the returning exiles wrestled as they labored, for decades, to rebuild what the Assyrians destroyed seventy years prior. Here’s the backstory. Despite centuries of prophetic warnings in which the Lord pleaded with His people to return to Him, they remained set in their rebellion and violent and oppressive ways. Therefore, God gave them the autonomy they wanted, removed His protective hand, and allowed their enemies to conquer them and cart them off to a pagan nation to live as exiles. Yet, faithful to His promise, 70 years later, the Lord mercifully and miraculously returned them to their beloved homeland. Their arrival was bittersweet, filled with celebration for their liberation and return and sorrow for the destruction they saw once back in their beloved capital city. They found Jerusalem’s wall broken down, the gates burned, and the temple destroyed. But they also arrived with an abundance of the Lord’s miraculous provision, given to them by Cyrus, a pagan king. Perhaps buoyed by this obvious display of God’s favor and hope in the restoration He’d previously promised through the prophet Isaiah, they immediately set to work, built an altar, and re-established worship. Not long after, however, their progress stalled due to opposition and their desire to build homes in which to live. The intimidation they experienced from the locals steadily increased and could’ve halted the restoration project indefinitely, leaving Jerusalem like the many other ancient cities that once thrived but are no more. That’s not what happened, however, because the eye of God, meaning His favor and hand, remained on His people until they completed everything He’d assigned and promised. Because again, when God assigns something, He gives us everything we need, be that resources, strength, and people to help, to do all that He’s asked. Intersecting Life & Faith: This story reveals two co-existing realities we all encounter in this life. As you probably know from experience, living for Jesus isn’t, and never will be, easy. Jesus told us to expect trouble: local, national, and global conflict, relational ruptures and betrayal, sickness and poverty, and pain. But He also told us to “take heart”; to sink our faith roots deep into Him, the One who overcame the world and conquered death and the grave that we, His beloved and empowered children, might also overcome. In Romans 8:31-37, Paul, a first-century evangelist who wrote much of the New Testament, phrased it this way: “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who spared not his own Son but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things? … Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or anguish or persecution or famine …” (ESV). And here’s one of my favorite parts—the last line: “in all these things” –and a thousand more besides— “we are more than conquerors” –as in, we’ve secured, in Christ, overwhelming victory— “through him that loved us” (ESV). Lord, remind us of this truth, your promises, and unchanging character the next time we feel timid, overwhelmed, and defeated that we may pursue Your will with perseverance and Spirit-ignited determination.

Apocalypse Now: An Eye-Opening Study of the Book of EphesiansWhat if the greatest revelation wasn't about the end of the world, but the unveiling of a new one? Apocalypse Now is a deep and eye-opening journey through the book of Ephesians, where the Apostle Paul—writing from prison—pulls back the curtain on God's grand design for His people.Set against the backdrop of ancient Ephesus, a city of power, culture, and spiritual darkness, this series explores how Paul's letter reveals Jesus as Lord over every empire, idol, and authority. Known as the “Queen of the Epistles,” Ephesians lifts our eyes to the breathtaking view of Christ and His Church—our identity, our unity, our calling, and our hope.Each episode uncovers the “apocalypse”—the great unveiling of Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and the Spirit's gifts—and asks how this revelation reshapes the way we live right now. From household relationships to spiritual warfare, from ancient temples to modern challenges, Apocalypse Now helps us see with fresh eyes what it means to belong to God's family and live as people of another Kingdom.If you're ready for a faith that feels alive, courageous, and countercultural—this is your invitation. We don't just need an apocalypse someday. We need one now.For more information or to get connected, visit us at  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rcnb.org

Empowered for the Mission // Pastor Aaron BennettStonecreek Church

2025 list of fastest-growing companies. Jeff shares how values-driven leadership shapes every aspect of his organization, from strategic decisions to daily client interactions. He breaks down the core values that guide his team's growth, reliability, communication, and respect, and explains how embedding them into company culture fuels consistent, high-quality performance. Jeff also dives into the evolving role of AI in streamlining operations and elevating service, while underscoring the importance of empowering employees through critical thinking and autonomy. The conversation wraps with a powerful reminder: clearly defined values aren't just ideals, they're essential tools for sustainable growth and effective leadership. 3:42 Meet Jeff Soha 4:02 Soha Capital and Its Mission 4:29 The Impact of AI on Services 6:08 Success Through Values 6:50 Evolving Company Values 9:44 The Importance of Core Values 12:23 Defining Core Values 14:06 Practical Applications of Values 17:05 Commitment to Reliability 18:54 Weekly Review Process 23:46 Decision-Making with Values 26:23 Empowering Decision-Making in Leadership 27:30 Conclusion and Takeaways Building a Business on Values In this episode, Gene sits down with Jeff Socha, founder of Socha Capital, to talk about what values-driven leadership really looks like in practice. Jeff explains how Socha Capital helps successful entrepreneurs through family office services, from tax reduction and legal planning to investment and risk management. Gene highlights the importance of having values that actually live inside an organization, not just words written on a wall, and Jeff shares how this philosophy drives everything they do. How AI Supercharges Their Client Experience The conversation shifts into technology, where Jeff breaks down how artificial intelligence has changed the game at Socha Capital. Instead of replacing people, AI helps the team work smarter, speeding up research, boosting problem-solving, and allowing them to craft customized solutions faster than ever. For a company dealing with complex financial and legal strategy, that efficiency makes a real difference. Values That Drive Growth (Literally) Jeff has a remarkable track record: three different companies have landed on fastest-growing company lists, including the Inc. 5000. Gene digs into how values played a part in that success. Jeff shares Socha Capital's four core values: growth, reliability, communication, and respect, and explains how they show up in real decisions like hiring, firing, and internal operations. These aren't slogans; they are the compass for everything the team does, reinforced through weekly reviews, reporting systems, and clear expectations around accountability. Teaching Leaders to Think for Themselves One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is Jeff's philosophy on developing leadership within his team. Instead of giving answers right away, he encourages employees to think through decisions using the company's values as their guide, especially when he's not in the room. This approach builds autonomy, confidence, and critical thinking. Jeff also talks about how he shaped these values over years of personal reflection and mentoring, grounded in the belief that "everything will grow at the rate that you do." The episode closes with Gene and Jeff agreeing on one big idea: values aren't abstract concepts, they're practical tools. When leaders live by them, they create alignment, resilience, and long-term growth for everyone involved. Key Takeaways Values must be lived, not laminated. Jeff emphasizes that core values only matter when they're actively practiced and used in decision-making not just written down. AI boosts productivity without replacing people. Socha Capital uses AI to accelerate research and problem-solving, allowing the team to spend more time on high-value client work. Growth starts with the leader. Jeff's philosophy "everything will grow at the rate that you do" highlights the importance of personal development for organizational success. Accountability drives reliability. Weekly reviews, clear reporting systems, and action-tracking help maintain consistent performance across the company. Empowered teams make better decisions. Jeff encourages employees to use the company's values as a framework for independent decision-making, building confidence and critical thinking. Values guide people decisions. Hiring, firing, and everyday leadership all tie back to Socha Capital's four core values: growth, reliability, communication, and respect. Sustainable success is values-driven. Gene and Jeff agree that long-term growth depends on leaders who embody and operationalize their values daily. Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?

If you've ever felt like your emotions take over the moment a connection feels uncertain… or you find yourself spiraling, overthinking, and craving reassurance even when you know it's “too much,” this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. Today, we're diving into anxious attachment through a compassionate, science-backed lens, exploring your nervous system, your past relational experiences, and the truth that nothing is wrong with you. Your reactions make sense. And yes, you can absolutely heal.Inside the episode, we cover:The nervous system science behind anxious attachment - why your body stays in threat anticipation mode and why reassurance-seeking feels uncontrollable.The real roots of anxious attachment - inconsistent caregiving, emotional invalidation, early relationship trauma, and how those patterns shape adult relationships.The cultural pressure cooker - how modern dating, ghosting, and the “cool girl” narrative intensify anxious attachment and dysregulate your system even more.If this episode resonated and your heart is saying, “I can't do another year of these patterns…” I want to lovingly encourage you to take action now.Applications for the Empowered.Secure.Loved Program close this year, and we have extremely limited spots left.

This episode is a roller coaster in the best way. Kat breaks down a study revealing how Americans actually measure success (spoiler: it’s not fame or money), and Amy explains why Gen Z is “rawdogging boredom” to boost creativity. They also get into China’s new rule requiring influencers to have real credentials, the timeless wisdom of the top regrets of the dying, and two listener calls: one about saying “oh” vs. zero, and one offering a very honest, potentially helpful PSA about labia changes no one talks about.
