Episode #138 - In this episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I'm joined by Elizabeth Webb — The Practical Priestess™ — a transformation coach with over twenty years of experience helping women, leaders, and creatives move out of survival mode and back into lives that actually feel good. Elizabeth is the author of the upcoming book Made for Magic: A Practical Guide from Survival Mode to Soul-Satisfying Joy, which distills two decades of coaching into a practical, accessible framework for restoring energy, strengthening intuition, setting clean boundaries, and reclaiming joy.Elizabeth and I explore the idea of hidden relationship contracts - the unspoken agreements, roles, and expectations that quietly shape our relationships over time. Many of these contracts once made sense, but when left unexamined, they can create resentment, burnout, or a loss of intimacy. We talk about how to recognize when a relational contract has expired, why so many women stay stuck tolerating old dynamics, and how empowered communication can actually deepen connection rather than create conflict.We also dive into Elizabeth's tools for navigating difficult conversations with clarity and self-respect, including how to sort out needs, desires, and preferences before making a request, how to set boundaries that truly hold, and how to approach confrontation in a way that supports intimacy instead of eroding it. Elizabeth shares practical language, frameworks, and decision-making tools that help women determine whether it's time to rewrite a relationship contract — or lovingly untether and move forward.Throughout our conversation, Elizabeth brings her signature blend of grounded wisdom and real-world application, offering guidance on building self-worth, trusting your inner knowing, and reclaiming your time, energy, and choices. This episode is for anyone who knows something in a relationship feels “off,” but isn't sure how to name it or what to do next.Elizabeth has coached executives, artists, and couples across the globe, with client work spanning New York, Spain, Sweden, and the Dominican Republic. Her work has been featured in the New York Times best-selling book Live It, Love It, Earn It, and she is known for her widely shared Love Beams notes on intuition, joy, and empowered living.This is a practical, heart-centered conversation filled with tools you can start using immediately to bring your relationships — and your life — back into alignment.TakeawaysElizabeth Webb has over 20 years of experience in self-development and coaching.Her book, 'Made for Magic,' offers practical paths out of survival mode.Coaching was in its infancy when Elizabeth started, making her a trailblazer.Understanding relational dynamics is crucial for personal growth.Hidden contracts in relationships can drain energy and need to be addressed.Setting boundaries is essential for healthy relationships.Confrontation can deepen intimacy if approached correctly.Recognizing expired relational contracts can prevent resentment.Empowered conversations require clarity on needs, desires, and preferences.Building self-worth is vital before making significant relationship decisions.Sound bites"I want to wake up in the morning.""Get your finances right.""Fast to hire, fast to fire."Connect with ElizabethWebsiteInstagramLet's Connect!⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Rumble⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠Linktree⁠PodcastFREE Meditaion Guide

These gifts remain active until Christ returns, offering a foretaste of the fullness to come, and should be eagerly pursued and exercised in love and order.

To bring spirit into an organisation requires Courage. It requires Leadership commiting to have courage to be calm amid chaos, to sustain the tension until empowered learning has happened. To maintain personal spirit, to have faith and trust in both people and the process.Giving orders doesn't require personal courage.

Let's see what this looks, sounds and feels like...Dream Dare Dazzle

Do you ever struggle with shame, pain, numbness, or disconnection in your sex life?So many of us have done inner child work, attachment work, and therapy for our mental health — but we've never applied that same lens to our sexuality. Cultural conditioning, religious messaging, porn, performance pressure, trauma, and body shame all shape how safe (or unsafe) we feel in intimacy. And often, it's our sexual selves that become fragmented.In this episode, I'm joined by trauma-informed somatic sex educator and Erotic Wholeness coach Darshana Avila (featured on Goop's podcast and TV show) to explore how to heal sexual shame, navigating painful sex, ways to deepen intimacy, and confidently asking for the pleasure you actually want. Darshana has dedicated her career to helping people tune in to their truth, desires, and authentic relationships. Her work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, and she's spent over a decade guiding people out of the cultural patterns that keep them stuck.This conversation explores sex and the erotic not as performance, but as attunement, embodiment, and healing.Tune in to hear:What Erotic Wholeness actually meansHow trauma and upbringing impact desire and shutdownWhy so many women experience painful sex — and what might be happening physiologically and emotionallyWhy orgasms can feel difficult or inconsistentHow to feel more confident and comfortable in your bodyHow to give feedback in bed without shame or conflictWhat to do when you “don't even know what you like”How to slow down, build anticipation, and deepen attunementWhy presence and nervous system regulation are key to better sexFollow Darshana on her website and Instagram.For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

In this forward‑thinking conversation, Bart sits down with Tristan Gadsby and Gareth Bannerman, co‑founders of Alliants, to explore how technology is reshaping customer experience — particularly in hospitality and luxury service environments.

Burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome rarely appear in isolation—they are often the result of unresolved trauma, fractured self-connection, and years of emotional overcompensation. In this episode of The Mental Health & Wellness Show, I, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, sit down with Lisa Skeffington, a multi-award-winning psychotherapist, self-esteem expert, and executive coach with over 25 years of experience, to explore what true healing looks like beyond surface-level solutions.Lisa shares her deeply personal journey from growing up in a domestically violent home to working in diplomatic and investment banking environments, and ultimately finding her calling in psychotherapy. Together, we discuss why traditional, highly scripted therapy models often fail trauma-impacted individuals, and why a holistic, person-centered approach—one that integrates psychodynamic mentoring, trauma-informed care, and authentic human connection—is essential for burnout recovery, emotional resilience, and sustainable mental wellness.In this episode, you'll learn:Why burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome are often symptoms of deeper emotional wounds and unresolved traumaHow high-achieving women unknowingly mask anxiety as ambition, overwork, and people-pleasingWhy holistic, trauma-informed approaches outperform rigid, one-size-fits-all therapy modelsWhat psychodynamic mentoring is and how combining modalities accelerates healing and empowermentHow vulnerability, honest communication, and self-connection are essential for sustainable mental wellnessLisa Skeffington is the founder of Empowered Momentum, author of From Anxious to Empowered, and a global mentor for women navigating burnout, self-esteem struggles, and identity transitions.

Mary Delaney, CEO of Karbon, opens Episode 250 of The Unique CPA with a powerful story: she tells Randy about a neighbor whose accountant didn't just crunch numbers but delivered life-changing advice that transformed his business into a legacy. That moment crystallizes what technology can unlock for the profession. Rather than something to be feared, it has the potential to grant us the freedom to focus on advisory work that truly matters. Mary explains how automation handles the mundane, potentially flipping the statistic that 80% of small businesses fail by year ten. With the right technology, every small business could access some level of advisory support. But accountants must make a critical shift: to stop thinking like practitioners and start running their firms as businesses. Mary shares her own experience growing a compliance-heavy services company from single-digit margins to 25%, emphasizing the importance of identifying levers, whether that's increasing referrals, automating workflows, or offshoring strategically. Empowered people deliver exceptional client experiences, and it's not people first or clients first, it's both, simultaneously. Get the full show notes and more resources at TheUniqueCPA.com

What if most of your automatic thoughts aren't true—and your body pays the price when you believe them? We sit down with Dr. Lee Warren, W. Lee Warren, MD, is a neurosurgeon, an award-winning author, an Iraq War veteran, and the host of The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast. He teaches the art of connecting neuroscience, faith, and daily practices for leading a healthier, better, and happier life. www.DrLeeWarren.com The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery - https://www.netgalley.com/widget/897209/redeem/8bef54f4147ff6d63f2dfe6b94784e67155f495b79ab8b6190a88f48c82ddb68SELF-BRAIN SURGERY MIGHT JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE - https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5bd26c48b2cf79b5897a6c45/t/68b701504975283eb3c60afb/1756823889694/Press+Kit+-+The+Life+Changing+Art+of+Self-Brain+Surgery.pdfThrough a vivid fMRI moment and hard-won personal story, he shows how a single choice of thought can alter brain activity, shift physiology, and open a path out of anxiety, grief, and chronic stress.We unpack the difference between emotions and feelings, and why your heart racing can signal fear or excitement depending on the story you attach to it. Dr. Warren explains neuroplasticity in plain language—neurons that fire together wire together—and how rumination keeps cortisol high, sleep poor, and pain persistent. You'll learn his “thought biopsy” method to test whether a thought is true before letting it run your day, plus how to move decisions from the amygdala's fight-or-flight to the frontal lobes where wisdom lives. We also dig into patterns behind migraines and avoidance loops, and how reframing, gratitude, and scripture-backed replacements can transform relationships—starting with a powerful marriage turnaround story.If you've felt stuck, spiritually numb, or trapped by old patterns, this conversation offers a practical, hopeful plan: notice, pause, and rewire with truth. Dr. Warren shares three steps you can start today to separate mind from brain, reclaim agency, and build healthier defaults that feel like peace. His new book, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, lands on February 3 with tools, stories, and science to help you renew your mind and restore your life.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a quick review so more people can find these tools.

Jesus confronts human tradition with God's truth, teaching that while believers have authority as co-heirs with Christ, true effectiveness comes only through the empowering work of the Holy Spirit, not human effort or religious systems. A Healthy, biblical church grows when believers move beyond stagnant faith, wait for Spirit-empowerment, and live out a visible, God-glorifying power that draws others to Him.

Employee engagement is at its lowest point in more than a decade. Many organizations are filled with talented, capable people who want to contribute, yet hesitate to take action. The missing link is often not skill or motivation. It is empowerment. In a recent minisode of The Leadership Habit, host Jenn DeWall delivers a focused masterclass on how empowerment drives better decisions, stronger ownership, and sustainable performance. This episode explores why empowered leaders and teams consistently outperform those operating in environments of hesitation and dependency. Why Empowerment Matters More Than Ever Low engagement, burnout, and slow decision-making are becoming common challenges across industries. Teams are capable, but without clear authority, confidence, and trust, they often wait for approval instead of taking initiative. As Jenn explains in the episode: “Empowerment is equipping people with the authority, confidence, information, and psychological safety to make meaningful decisions.” Without these elements, leaders become bottlenecks. Projects stall. Innovation slows. Accountability weakens. Empowerment is what turns leadership development into measurable business impact. What Does Real Empowerment Look Like? In the minisode, Jenn outlines four essential components of empowerment: 1. Authority: People must know what decisions they are allowed to make. 2. Confidence They need training, support, and trust to act effectively. 3. Information They must have access to the right data, tools, and context. 4. Psychological Safety They need to feel safe taking risks without fear of punishment. When even one of these is missing, hesitation grows, and performance suffers. The ABCs of Self-Empowerment Empowerment does not start with policies or programs. It starts with leaders themselves. Jenn introduces the ABC framework for self-empowerment: A: Know What You Own Understand which decisions belong to you and which can be delegated. B: Trust Your Judgment Waiting for perfect information increases stress and delays results. C: Give Yourself Permission to Decide You will never feel 100 percent ready. Progress requires action. As Jenn reminds listeners: “Not making a decision is still a decision.” Avoiding choices often creates bigger problems than making an imperfect one. How Empowered Leaders Reduce Burnout and Decision Fatigue Many leaders struggle with decision fatigue after managing constant demands. Over time, this leads to hesitation, stress, and disengagement. In the episode, Jenn shares practical ways to overcome this: Make important decisions earlier in the day Limit unnecessary options Set time limits for decision-making Avoid major choices when tired, overwhelmed, or emotionally flooded Build reflection habits to strengthen confidence She also encourages leaders to regularly document wins to reinforce self-trust and momentum. Delegation That Builds Leaders, Not Dependency One of the most powerful sections of the minisode focuses on delegation. Too often, leaders delegate tasks without context. This creates dependency rather than growth. Jenn distinguishes between task delegation and thinking delegation. When you delegate tasks, you may say something like, “Do this. Follow these steps.” However, if you are delegating thinking, it may sound more like, “Here is the desired outcome, how would you approach this?” To delegate effectively, leaders must provide: Information – Relevant facts, expectations, and constraints Why – The purpose behind the work Authority – Clear permission to decide When these elements are present, teams make faster, smarter decisions and require less supervision. The Benefits of Empowered Teams When empowerment becomes part of workplace culture, organizations experience: Higher engagement Faster decision-making Greater innovation Increased accountability Improved retention Stronger leadership pipelines Jenn summarizes it clearly: “You can't empower others if you can't empower yourself.” Empowered leaders create empowered organizations.

Moses — Called, Sent, and Empowered

What happens when one of the largest centralized property managers in short-term rentals meets a deeply local, franchise-driven model? In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA's Chief Economist Jamie Lane sits down with Steve Schwab, CEO of Casago, to unpack one of the most consequential industry shifts of the past decade: the Vacasa–Casago merger.Steve shares an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how the integration is unfolding — from transitioning thousands of homes and teammates to rethinking how scale, culture, and accountability actually work in hospitality. The conversation goes beyond headlines to explore why local ownership, empowered teams, and owner-centric decision-making may be the antidote to the operational strain that has challenged large STR operators in recent years.Along the way, Jamie and Steve dive into franchise economics, technology complexity, churn as a health metric, and the often-underestimated skill that separates top-tier operators from the rest. Whether you're an independent host, a growing property manager, or an industry professional watching STR evolve in real time, this episode offers a rare perspective on where the business is headed — and what it takes to build something that lasts.This is one conversation that will change how you think about scale, leadership, and success in short-term rentals — you don't want to miss it.Key Takeaways You Can Apply TodayLocal ownership matters more than ever: Empowered, in-market operators create stronger relationships with homeowners, guests, and communities — and reduce churn.Scale isn't just about size: Breaking operations into locally accountable units can avoid the “dis-economies” that plague centralized models.Technology complexity is the silent killer: From PMS integrations to revenue management and accounting, STR operations are far deeper than they appear — especially in year one.Churn is a health check, not just a metric: Monitoring churn at both the market and portfolio level reveals operational and cultural issues early.The best operators know when to say no: Curating the right inventory, homeowners, and guests is often what separates top-performing property managers from underperformers.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Faith was never meant to sit still. In Week 3 of our Action series, “Empowered to Act,” we look at how the Holy Spirit gives believers the power to live out what we say we believe. James reminds us that faith without works is dead — but Acts shows us that when the Spirit comes, action follows. This message unpacks: 1. How the Holy Spirit produces bold, fearless action (2 Timothy 1:7) 2. Why real love is proven through what we do, not just what we say (1 John 3:18) 3. How God's power often follows our obedience (Acts 5:32)   Jesus promised power for a purpose—to be His witnesses everywhere we go (Acts 1:8). This sermon challenges us to stop waiting, stop hesitating, and step into Spirit-empowered obedience.

Conflict is inevitable in every relationship but no one teaches us how to do it in a way that actually creates closeness instead of damage. In this episode, I'm breaking down the one relationship skill that determines whether love grows stronger or slowly erodes over time: how you handle conflict. We're reframing conflict from something to fear into an opportunity for deeper intimacy, secure attachment, and real emotional safety. This is the framework I wish I had years ago and the one I've seen completely transform relationships when people finally learn how to do it differently.Inside the episode:Why secure relationships aren't defined by the absence of conflict, but by the presence of repair and how fast you repair matters more than compatibilityHow anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles show up in conflict (and why they keep repeating the same painful patterns)The secure conflict framework that helps you stay regulated, communicate clearly, and protect the relationship instead of threatening itIf you've ever felt panicked, shut down, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted after conflict or you've avoided it altogether, this episode will change the way you see arguments forever. Conflict done well isn't a problem. It's intimacy in disguise.If you're ready to go deeper and start your journey toward secure love, you can explore the Empowered. Secure. Loved. offers here:

While balancing motherhood, work, and daily responsibilities can make prioritizing fitness feel impossible, this episode is a reminder that self-care isn't selfish — it's essential. Amy shares honest reflections from her own seasons of motherhood alongside real-life insight from other moms in the Expecting and Empowered community who are finding creative ways to make their health a priority.This episode focuses on practical tools and mindset shifts to help moms adjust when needed without guilt. Amy discusses why sleep matters just as much as movement, and why skipping an early-morning workout in favor of more rest — and returning to movement later in the day or week — can be a powerful form of self-care. Sometimes the week is just too full! Work, school, sports, and other week night activities fill our calendars in the blink of an eye. Amy suggests becoming a “weekend warrior,” using weekends as an opportunity to work out when extra support from your village is available.For moms who find getting to the gym to be the biggest barrier, Amy encourages creating a dedicated space at home for at-home workouts. Removing obstacles like commute time or childcare can make consistency more attainable and sustainable. Throughout the episode, Amy emphasizes that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness in motherhood — the goal is finding what works for this season of life. Whether you have time for a full 45 min, or 10 min here and there, something is better than nothing!

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest myths in modern dating, the idea that healthy love is about luck, timing, or manifesting the “right” person. It's not glamorous, it's not viral, and it's definitely not sexy… but it is real. Secure, lasting love is built through intention, healing, and becoming emotionally available from the inside out. If you're tired of repeating the same patterns, attracting unavailable partners, or wondering why it hasn't “just worked” yet, this episode is for you.Inside the episode:Why love isn't random or about luck, it's patterned, and how secure attachment (not manifestation alone) is what actually changes your resultsThe role past relational trauma plays in sabotaging connection, and why releasing it is non-negotiable for healthy loveHow shifting your identity, standards, and dating approach creates calm, depth, and real emotional safety instead of chaos and chemistryIf you're ready to go deeper and start your journey toward secure love, you can explore the Empowered.

Tired of doing “everything right” and still feeling inflamed, foggy, and out of sync with your body? We dig into a clear, faith-forward plan to restore energy, steady hormones, and heal the gut using targeted, physician-grade supplements and practical daily habits. No fads. No hype. Just clean science, smart dosing, and tools you can actually stick with.We start by reframing the problem: modern food and stress deplete minerals, overwhelm the liver, and skew our fat balance. That's why stacked support works best. We unpack Hormone Tame as a five-in-one: activated B vitamins for methylation, mitochondrial nutrients for energy, and polyphenols that help metabolize estrogen so periods calm and mood steadies. Then we tackle the omega equation—why seed oils drive inflammation and how a high-purity omega-3, plus magnesium, can flip the script on aches, sleep, and resilience.From there, we build your gut plan. A medical-food style protein with L-glutamine soothes IBS and feeds the lining. Digestive Lift adds enzymes, gentle acid, and ox bile to prevent bloat and help you handle healthy fats. For microbiome balance, Biome Lift stabilizes daily while Spore Lift acts like a bouncer when SIBO or post-travel trouble hits. We also introduce a fiber you won't fear: a diverse prebiotic blend that increases short-chain fatty acids, nudges Akkermansia for metabolic health, and naturally boosts GLP-1 to curb cravings.Detox gets a reset with a true 3-2-1 approach—opening phase 3 and 2 before phase 1 so toxins exit rather than recirculate. Expect less bloat, brighter skin, and steadier energy when you rotate this seasonally and keep daily support with Slim Lift. If you're stepping down from GLP-1 meds or want a stimulant-free metabolism boost, MetaboLift pairs GLP-1 support with AMPK activation to quiet “food noise” and raise your burn without wrecking appetite or sleep.This is how faith, functional medicine, and simple choices meet: whole foods, better fats, prayer, rest, and supplements that respect how the body actually works.

ChatGPT Health launched, and the health coaching community is buzzing. Some coaches are terrified. Others are dismissive. A few are genuinely curious. But here's what matters: when information is instant, unlimited, and free, what are people actually paying you for? In this episode, I share the story of a client who came to me wanting to lose weight. She'd been chasing that goal since she was eight years old. But what she really needed? A human who could see the whole picture. Someone brave enough to challenge her beliefs about weight loss and happiness. One question changed everything. Within months, she was climbing to the Mount Everest base camp. We talk about: Why ChatGPT Health is just a data solution (not a magical health coaching robot) The difference between resolving a symptom and fulfilling a dream Why moving toward more interaction with clients is the best path forward How to be more human in your coaching and your marketing If you've been worried about AI replacing health coaching, this episode is for you. Because in a world full of botsAI, being human might just be your biggest competitive advantage.

Heart Health Month opens with a powerful, eye-opening conversation on cholesterol, root-cause healing, and whole-person wellness. Dr. Georgia Nabs explore why cholesterol is so misunderstood, the real story behind statins, and how inflammation, blood sugar, liver health, and lifestyle choices all intersect to shape heart health. From functional testing and advanced diagnostics to simple, practical daily shifts, this episode reframes what it truly means to care for your heart. Blending science, compassion, and lived experience, the conversation invites listeners to move beyond fear-based medicine and into empowered, informed, and proactive wellness—where education becomes the foundation for lasting health and vitality.  Key Takeaways:   True heart health begins by understanding root causes, not just managing symptoms or lab numbers.  Cholesterol is more complex than "good" and "bad," and context matters more than fear-based assumptions.  Inflammation, blood sugar balance, and liver health play a central role in cardiovascular wellness.  Empowered patients ask better questions and become active participants in their healing journey.  Sustainable wellness comes from education, consistency, and small daily choices that compound over time.  About Dr. Georgia Nab:  Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas. From 2012 through 2017, she joined a manufacturing facility in Wisconsin to provide chiropractic care, nutritional counseling, and educational training to the employees at the company's corporate headquarters. While there, she authored her book called 1 Degree of Change, in addition to numerous other publications. In 2015, she graduated with her Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine degree.
