Yep, you better believe that it is true and I'm here to show you today how you can do this.   but I really hate this terminology of work-life balance. So if you're new to the Dental A Team, welcome, hello. I'm so excited to have you here. If you've been here with us for a long time, high five, hugs. I'm so grateful you've been a part of this journey and I'm so excited to share with you tips, tricks. ⁓ And again, remember, sometimes the greatest form of learning is remembering what you already know. So these might be tips that you've heard before, but hopefully today it hits you differently because no man who's walked through a river is ever the same man because he...   is not the same man and the river is not the same river. So you today, you're not the same person, you're not the same practice, you're not the same scenario. So wherever you are, I'm super excited for you to figure out how to get this like balance and bliss in your life. And I hope you're ready for it. So the reality is like, I used to feel, and I don't know where this came from, like, why do we feel that we always have to like grind like our nose to the brim? Like we have to work so hard and we have to just grind so hard to get to success.   that like you just hate your life. Like why is it, why is it this like busyness and this exhaustiveness and this tired to be successful? Like why, where? And so I do believe that you can have balance and performance that can coexist, that you can be productive and balanced. And so the reality is we're going to walk through some of these pieces for you to help you see where could I maybe strike a little more balance, a little more freedom, a little more play, a little more ease in my life.   And that's maybe the better term of like work-life balance is more ease. It's more flow. It's more, I think just intentional. And how can I do that? So you guys, I love this. think that you should be something that I'm really passionate about is work and life. I'm very passionate about you being the best version of yourself in your life. That way you can show up as the best version of yourself for work. do not believe, Tiff and I talk about this all the time. Like outside of Dental A Team public's eye.   all the time about how work and life are not separate. It's like we think about these two halves and it's like, no, it's one. You're one person. You're going through this and it's like, well, here's half of me that's work. Here's half of me that's life. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no. How can I, Kiera, be the best version of myself that like feels balanced or ease or flow or calm or any of those things? Cause balance to me, don't love. Balance feels like I've got to like have my weight in front of me be equal.   ⁓ But flow to me is like a river flows and sometimes it's faster and sometimes it's slower and all of that's correct. And so this is something where for you to be the best version of yourself, for you to still be productive at the office while being the best version of you, ⁓ I think is what today's podcast will be about. So this is something where it's like, if you feel you are stretched thin or overwhelmed or you don't know how to produce without overworking and if you stop or slow down and get off the hamster, well, you're afraid that it's all gonna crash and burn. Well, hi, I'm Kiera.   I'm your personal therapist today ⁓ and I'm here to help you realize that that's not the reality, that there's a better, easier way to do it. And I'm here to give you a couple of quick steps that hopefully will take you through that ⁓ because I was there, I've seen offices do it and we've helped offices, hundreds, like literally hundreds and thousands of offices get out of that hamster will.   and into the flow that they were looking for. Tiff said it once and she was like, imagine Phoenix traffic. If you've never been to Phoenix, we'll do Chicago traffic, we'll do Texas traffic. Like you name it, big city traffic. She's like, just imagine if you're sitting there and this is like your life and you're sitting there and you're in this bumper to bumper traffic. And then all of a sudden you see that like better than even like an HOV or carpool lane. Like there's just like the way it strikes me like a lucky charm. Like it's like, ah, like the angels are singing. It's this gold path over there or like the yellow brick road. And you're like,   say, well, like I could get out of this nonsense over onto that lane. And like everybody, there's no traffic. There's no slowing down. It is just this easy breezy, like truly like, hope you guys can visualize this like golden path road with gold light over it. And everybody on that road is just so happy. And yet you're sitting here hating your life because you're sitting in all this nonsense traffic. Well, that's kind of hopefully how this feels of like, let's teach you how to get over into that.   that lane that you didn't even know existed today and give you some tangible tips to that. So number one is going to be maximize the hours that you already work. So let's have it like, ⁓ we did this awesome thing ⁓ at a conference and ⁓ we're talking about this and this is so fascinating to me, okay? So in a given week, there's 24 hours in a day. Yes, everybody following? And there's seven hours or seven days in a week, okay?   So if we take that, I love some good numbers, I love some good math. So 24 hours in a day, and we have seven days in a week, that's 168 hours, all right, in a given week, okay? So now, let's say I'm gonna be really generous to you. We know, let's say, let's just, mean, Dennis, let's give you, like, we're gonna work 40 hours in a week. You might say I work more than that, that's okay. I'm just gonna subtract 40 right now, okay? So that leaves us with 128 hours in a week.   Now you're like, well, Kiera, we also have to sleep. I got you. I'm going to be real generous and I'm going to give you eight hours of sleep times seven days. That's 56 hours. None of you are out there probably sleeping eight hours. As you should be prioritizing this, I do not want to be scrimping on sleep because I think sleep is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. So we have 128 hours after the 40 hour work week. We've got 56 hours of sleep minus 128. That leaves us with 72 freaking hours a week. And my question is, what are you doing with those hours?   Now you might say, Carrie works 60 hours. Fantastic, you still have 52 hours if you're working a 60 hour work week, which I hope and pray you're not working 60 hours. So let's get it to where maybe I don't wanna be working even 40 hours and I would prefer to even work 30 hours. Well then if I gave you 30 hours, you're up to 82 hours a week of extra time. And people are like, Carrie, I don't have time, I don't have time. 72 hours, 72 in a week outside of sleeping and work.   Now you're like, well, I've got to make dinner and I've got the kids fine go for it, but there's still so many hours. And I, when I heard this, I was like, yeah, what am I doing with those 72 hours? Like, all right. So maybe I could do like an hour of workout every day. All right. So like, let me just put out like seven hours there. Like, okay, 72. Let's just take this down 72 minus seven hours. All right. I'm down to 65 hours. Well, you know, I've got to like, hang out with my kids. Like we're at soccer, we're at camp. Like that takes, okay. Count it up. How many hours? Like drive time and all of that.   Let's give you like, okay, shoot, you're at 15 hours a week, which honestly, I guarantee you're not putting 15 hours of soccer and camp and all that in a given week. Maybe you are, but honestly, that's a lot. That's like two full days of work plus some extra time. So if we're at that, you're still at 50 hours and we're not scrimping sleep. We're not scrimping work. We're not scrimping kid time. We gave you an hour of workout every single day.   something to think about. So in this step one, to be able to have this balance or flow or best version of you is to maximize the hours you already have. So ⁓ me and Chad GPT, I named her Wanda. I hang out with Wanda all the time and I'm like, all right, you're the most brilliant scheduler of all time. You're the most productive business coach. Like you teach me how to maximize my time. And Wanda gives me some really good things. And it was interesting because I started looking like I realized   that I was spending an extra 30 minutes going to the gym every single day with how far away it was. And I was like, all right, well then that actually adds up. What if I just bought a home gym? Like there are solutions. What if I got weights, free weights? have my personal trainer. She could create some. So I go to the gym X amount of days and I work from home X amount of days. Could that help out? Like that would give me some time back in there. And so it's really like, how can you maximize the hours that you already have in your life to then maybe have a bit more fun?   Like I don't want all scheduled. I want fun. I want to hang out with Jason. I want to be able to like you guys I used to not watch TV at all because I felt like it was an absolute waste of time because I wasn't making money and I wasn't doing something productive. Literally I was like, nope, this is an absolute waste of time. And I'm like, but I like to watch a show and laugh with my husband. I like to be able to go hot tibbing at night with my husband. I love to go for walks with my husband. I love to go hiking. I love to spend time with my parents and I want to do it.   without guilt. It's like being able to like eat all the ice cream that you could ever want to eat without gaining any weight or whatever your favorite thing is that you're like, I just wish I could eat all that, not worry about the calories. Well, this is how you can have un like guilt free time for yourself, guilt free time with family, guilt free time with friends, because we have like, you break it down. I guarantee you, we're still going to find hours for you. So how can we better use it? And then what's awesome is when I work with offices, I'm like, sweet.   You only working four days a week? Fantastic, let's go for it. Let me do 32 hours a week. Beautiful. And you know what's crazy is I usually can help them produce the same as they were producing in five days and four days and then they're able to get a whole day back in their world. Or they're like, I have nowhere I could ever put admin time in. And I'm like, sweet, challenge accepted. How much time do you want? Two hours a week, three hours a week? Great, I'm gonna block it on Wednesdays from eight to 12.   I'm taking four hours out and I'm gonna show you how we can build a schedule that will produce more than you're making right now and give you the four hours of admin time so you don't have to take this home with you. So we block schedule, we prioritize, we put things in place. You literally like, we eliminate gaps, we're proactive, we ⁓ maximize our time and our schedule, we have our morning huddles to align our teams, everybody chart preps, we look through what we need to have. We're all doing the pieces and we're maximizing our time that we already have. Front office team members, seriously like.   Don't insurance verify every single person like in order call Delta Dental and get all of them done and then all your MetLife's and all your Etna's so we're not spending time like wastefully and you can maximize this and I will tell you when doctors shift like this and teams shift like this, we're talking 10, 20, 30, 40, a hundred grand extra a month that we're able to squeeze in the juice with no extra time. Usually even less time. I don't want more hours. I don't want more work for teams. I want less work and more efficiency.   So that way you have guilt free time with family. You have guilt free time on vacations. You have fun being able to take off and not stress about it. So this is where it's like, let's maximize the hour. So the call to action on this is, I want you to audit your current schedule at work and figure out where are we losing production and time and how can we just like, literally I'm talking on one change. Kind of like with FedEx or with, I don't remember what airline it was, but FedEx drivers found out if they took right hand turns at stoplights in the US, they can actually cut down the hours and cut down the routes and actually get more time and.   more efficient packages delivered to all the people. That's the type of like small little shift that we're looking for. Just one little change and then look at it in your personal life. Are we scrolling in doomsday scrolling? Are we spending time? I don't know, audit your day, but it's wild when I'm like, I gave you so much time and there's still 50 hours in a day, like a week. What are you doing there? Like, Kiera, I go to church. Great, put it in there. Kiera, I do community service. Great, put it in there.   I'm not kidding. When you look at it, it's because we're not efficient with our time and we don't schedule our time. And I want you to have breaks in there where there's nothing time in there too. But what's wild is when you do this, you'll realize there's so much more time. And if you're effective and efficient with this, you'll see that you actually can get more done with less time, less energy, and be more happy and have that flow, that work-life balance just by maximizing the hours you already have. Next up, number two is protect your time like a CEO. I want you to be so rock solid on this because we have to have like CEO time.   So this is what I was talking about. You've got to protect your admin working CEO time like a boss. And you've got to actually do high productive work there. So for me, it's called Deep Work Time. It's by Cal Newport. You can read the book. I'm like absolutely non-negotiable. This is when I'm working on the business. And it's wild because I'm always like, there's so many screaming problems that come at you, but you have to say no. Discipline equals freedom here. You've got to stick to your cutoff time. I'm out the door at 5.30. Go, leave, be done.   We don't need to constantly run over because what we do is we teach ourselves that what we say of our boundaries or what we say of our commitments don't matter. Stop lying to yourself and start protecting your time. Start putting you first. Like if you say, I'm gonna be out at 530, be out at 530. If you say, I'm gonna go to dinner, go to dinner. If you say, I'm gonna work out, work out, but don't go lofty, go small. Start small, train yourself that you can trust yourself and then get bigger and better and better. And what's wild is when offices do this, when doctors like,   Truly, my most elite doctors do this. The ones that produce the most have the best family time. And I'm talking like, there's a doctor that I know. He told me, said, Kiera, we've done a lot. They own six practices. He's got like crazy amounts of success. They're going for it. ⁓ Tons of kids, amazing relationship with his spouse. And he said, Kiera, my year working with you was the most transformational, inspirational year of my entire life. And I take that as one of the biggest compliments because this person was so efficient and effective.   And yet we were able to find ways to fix their time, maximize their time, buy back their time, protect their time, make sure all the things that they want to do as a human and as a business owner, they were able to get there. This doctor is celebrating their first day out of the chair and being a true CEO. It didn't happen overnight, but these are things of like, you have better clarity, you're better as a business owner, you're better as a spouse, you're better as a mother, father, you have more time to work out for yourself, but it's like...   being very disciplined, this is the secret. People are like, Kiera, what's the secret? This is it. They protect their time and they act like the CEO that they are. And then number three is your team, empower them, help them to be like truly owning their role. So you've got to set up and have it to where there's clear roles and definitions of what each person does. They have their KPI and their number that they own and you train them to lead and come with solutions. I have a three solution rule. If you've got a problem, you've got to create at least three solutions for it, one of which can't cost money.   So that way they're coming with solutions, they're thinking of solutions. They're empowered so things don't come to me. ⁓ There's the book with the one minute manager, I think. ⁓ It's about the monkeys on your back. I think about this all the time. How many times do my team members come to me and put their monkey and their problem on my back? And I'm like, yeah, give it to me. I've got it. I'll just solve the problems because I'm Wonder Woman over here. But you told me you actually want to stress free. You want more work life balance, but you don't want to cut your production. We'll start empowering your team to actually be the team that they're meant to be. And team members rise up.   Rise up, solve the problems. This is for you. Like we have a culture of ownership. Ownership is one of our core values. And honestly, I shout that core value out so hard every single week on our core value shout outs because I want our team to know that that's one of the top things that I look for. Our team members that own their role, own their KPI, find the solutions. Because guess what? Then I'm able to do my job and my job as a CEO. Your job as a CEO. And I also want to be an amazing wife. I want to be an amazing sister. I want to be an amazing family member.   I wanna do all those things. I wanna show the best for myself. I wanna work out. I wanna be this amazingly fit, ripped, super energetic, 95 year old woman in my life with cotton candy, pink hair. Like that's the vision of Kiera in the future. What's your vision of the future and how do you do this? And what's wild about this is when you empower your team members, you give them clarity of what they need to do, team members now can focus on what they need to do and they can be more efficient in their time. Tiff and I talk all the time about how she's the efficiency queen and how like,   I hope she never dies before me. And if she does, it will say efficiency queen on her headstone because literally we're able to do so much more with less time because we have the team using it. So doctors before you even, and office managers before you even think about putting something in your calendar, ask yourself, am I really the best person who needs to do this task? Or can someone else do it just as good, if not better than I can and delegate it out.   I look at my calendar all the time and I'm like, that could go to Tiff, this could go to Britt, this could go to Shelbi, this could go to this person. Like all these people are better, more equipped and have the time to do it. And then they should do the same thing with their schedules as well. So when you have this, I want you all, every single team member to look at our schedules and see, is this something that a team member could own? Is this really who should be doing it? Are our lines clean? Do we have clear job descriptions, clear KPIs? This way it's not all happening for me. So when you look at this, you see the flow of number one, I'm using the time I already have.   Number two, I'm thinking like a CEO and I'm actually maximizing the hours working on the business. And then number three, I have a team that's fully capable. They're not dependent on me. You have, we broke down the math. guys, the math is there. What are you doing with your time? This is how you have guilt free fun. Like I want you to just think like eating like a big giant scoop of your favorite dessert or whatever your favorite thing is. You're, you're, you're indulgent. And I want you to think of that as your time. Like I'm just taking this big old scoop of like   delicious ice cream, no calories, guilt free of your lifetime, of the time that you get to have your life. Your life is all mixed up of so many pieces. You've got work, you've got family, you've got schedules, you've got appointments. This is how you have guilt free time. This is how you're able to have that flow. This is how you're able to have the balance or whatever it is for you. It's not passive, it's built. It's not passive, it's built. And you would honestly do this while growing your business.   while like all the different things that you're doing, you can have this. And this is something I'm obsessed about. We did this at our last mastermind and it was so fun for me to like show them like, what are we doing with our time and how can we better maximize, squeeze the juice out and have more guilt free fun time of whatever we want to do. This is how you have hobbies. This is how you expand as a human. This is how you read books for fun. This is how you get gardening or biking or surfing or whatever it is that you want. This is how you get more time with your family, more time for yourself is by actually doing these three things. So   You honestly became a practice owner for freedom. It's my hunch. You wanted to run the business how you wanted. You want to have things with the team. And so let's make sure that you're not fatigued out, that you're burnt out, but you actually get that freedom that you wanted when you built the practice. Like let's get you there. That's the ultimate goal. Let's help you see where you could like maximize your time. Let's help your team maximize their time because sometimes we don't even know what we could be doing better because we're just, this is all we know. So let's be smarter. Let's reach up.   Let's ask for the help and let's get the freedom and the fun and the joy that we know we're meant to have. So this is where we're at. This is where I want you to just realize like, where am I at? You're at a crossroad. Do you want to continue down the path you're going or do you want to get into that fast lane over there that you're sitting in bumper to bumper traffic and you're like, there actually is that magical, glorious, gold paid route. Like honestly, I hope our marketing team like, please marketing team make this Vividial.   Put it on social media. There is like literally I see like all the lines like we got like ten lines of traffic We're sitting there and then it's like ⁓ like the angels are singing over there Like are you gonna continue to sit in this bumper to bumper bag? Yep I'm gonna just keep doing it my way or are you going to venture over? Navigate through the traffic across ten lanes of traffic to get over to that magical Lane that can be yours the questions yours the forks in the road literally we're in a road like that was a great analogy unintended   The forks in the road, like you are here, you're at a pivotal spot, the door is open, you can choose to do it differently. Let's do it. You deserve it. Reach out, hello, at the W-H-U dot com or stay in bumper to bumper traffic. Both are fine. There's no judgment on either side. I just want to let you know that that magical lane is incredible. Life over there is happy. Life over there is not stressed. Life over there still does with issues, but life over there deals with issues in stride.   Life over there has a team that's able to run the practice whether you're there or not. Life over there empowers their leaders. Life over there allows you to have a life on your terms. Life over there allows you to show up for your family the way you want. Life over there allows you to work out the way you want. Life over there has you sleeping better. Life over there has you not stress out every single day of every single hour. Life over there truly is flying through traffic because there's another lane over there. And I hope you choose you and I hope you choose the easier path.   and reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com if we can help you, because I'd love to.

Summary In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, Denise Thompson and John DeJulius discuss the importance of fostering a 'yes' culture in customer service. They explore how the word 'no' can negatively impact customer interactions and emphasize the need for employees to focus on what they can do to assist customers. Through engaging anecdotes, including the milkshake metaphor from Cameron Mitchell restaurants, they illustrate how empowering employees to say 'yes' can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. The conversation also touches on the role of leadership in creating an environment where employees feel confident to say 'yes' and the potential of AI in improving customer service experiences. Takeaways: The word 'no' should be eliminated from customer service interactions. Empowering employees to say 'yes' enhances customer satisfaction. A positive mindset is crucial for effective customer service. Leaders must create a culture that supports employee autonomy. Understanding customer needs is key to providing excellent service. Training employees to focus on solutions rather than problems is essential. The milkshake metaphor illustrates the importance of a 'yes' culture. Regularly auditing policies can help identify areas for improvement. AI can streamline customer service but should not replace human interaction. Storytelling is a powerful tool in reinforcing company culture.

This episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions centers on the launch of Dr. V and Dr. K's new book, "Breast Cancer Breakthrough," which is presented as a comprehensive guide to healing by merging conventional and natural medicine. The conversation opens with excitement about the upcoming release and highlights the book's goal to bridge traditional oncology with holistic approaches, ensuring that women facing breast cancer have access to a wide array of supportive tools and strategies rooted in both science and integrative health.A major theme of the discussion is the importance of integrating natural therapies—like vitamin D, curcumin, fasting, and proper nutrition—with standard medical treatments.

They advocate for a personalized, synchronized approach, tailoring interventions to individual patient needs and using extensive research to guide therapy choices.Empowering patients with knowledge is a recurring message throughout the episode.

The doctors discuss immune system support, pre-surgery preparations, and the management of inflammation. They cover nutritional supplements to aid recovery, the risks of immune suppression from anesthesia, and the benefits of fasting during chemotherapy. Metabolic flexibility and attention to blood sugar, especially through dietary adjustments, are highlighted as strategies to optimize the effects of cancer treatments and reduce adverse outcomes.In closing, Dr. V and Dr. K reflect on the broader impact of their book and their shared mission: to empower women navigating breast cancer by offering holistic, actionable guidance. By combining foundational wellness with advanced oncology, they hope to provide a pathway to healing that honors both the body and mind. Their comprehensive approach encourages readers to become active participants in their health, fostering hope, knowledge, and resilience in the face of cancer.Dr. V and Dr. K introduce their book "Breast Cancer Breakthrough," which combines natural and conventional medicine for a comprehensive healing approach.They emphasize the synergy of holistic therapies like vitamin D, curcumin, and fasting with traditional oncology to boost effectiveness and minimize side effects.Patient empowerment is a key theme, as the doctors address misconceptions and stress the importance of knowledge in making informed decisions.Practical tips are shared for preparing for surgery, optimizing chemotherapy, and navigating radiation, including nutrition and immune support strategies.The episode underscores hope and resilience, encouraging women to take an active, integrative role in their breast cancer journey._____________________Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

What if you could transform a legacy law firm while staying true to your personal goals? In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, attorney Lauren Presser reveals the law firm growth strategies that transformed her practice, creating clarity, balance, and sustainable growth. After buying out her uncle's 50-year-old family firm in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Lauren partnered with Atticus to modernize every part of her practice. The result was a 35% increase in revenue within one year, without sacrificing her family time or her sanity. This is a compelling narrative of courage, mentorship, and strategic innovation in a traditionally static industry. Lauren's transformation began with a clear why: she wanted to be fully present for her children while leading a thriving practice. Every change she made flowed from that intention. With coaching and focus, she trained her legal assistants to lead initial consultations, replaced discounts with fixed-fee packages, and introduced structured scheduling: no walk-ins, time templates, and set client touchpoints. Lauren's story is a masterclass in law firm growth strategies that actually work. Her firm's culture evolved too. Lauren implemented a simple bonus structure built around three measurable KPIs, aligning her team and inspiring accountability. The result was a calm, collaborative environment where everyone knew what success looked like. Lauren's story proves that growth doesn't require burnout. By setting boundaries, empowering her team, and leading with purpose, she built a profitable firm that supports her life instead of consuming it. Her journey is a powerful example of what's possible when you pair intentional leadership with practical systems and a reminder that success at work means little if you miss the moments that matter most at home. In this episode, you will hear: Lauren Presser's transformation from associate to principal owner of a 50-year-old law firm Strategies for achieving a 35% revenue increase while maintaining work-life balance Implementation of fixed pricing models and bonus structures based on key performance indicators Overcoming challenges in a family-run firm and navigating systemic changes with the help of mentorship Strategic moves, such as relocating to a larger office space to accommodate a growing team Importance of setting boundaries to ensure personal well-being and professional success Empowering non-lawyers to conduct initial consultations and the benefits of adopting innovative business practices Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

Introduction This week on Spirit of the Deal, we're diving deep with Laura Dionisio, a powerhouse coach who helps high achievers break free from "soul-sucking" success. Ever feel like you're climbing the ladder only to realize it's leaning against the wrong wall? Laura's been there, and she's here to guide you through a career pivot that feels not just successful, but genuinely *good*. We're talking about: The "speed dating" of our intro: Get ready for rapid-fire insights into what makes Laura tick. Alchemizing stubbornness: Discover how a shadow trait became her superpower in sales and life. The ultimate sales question: Learn how Laura flips the script to get clients to ask themselves the *real* question. From aerospace to alignment: Laura shares the courageous leap she took from a stable corporate career to building her dream business, Lead Intact. Embodying your future self: We explore the neuroscience and mindset shifts required to truly step into the identity you desire. The "cha-cha" childhood and its impact: How a nomadic upbringing shaped Laura's global perspective and innate resilience. The spirit of the deal, redefined: Laura breaks down her "Why, What, How" framework and how it applies to every exchange. If you're ready to ditch the burnout, reclaim your career, and build a life with purpose and passion, this episode is your blueprint. Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and aligned. Honest Overview Laura Dionisio brings a powerful perspective on career transitions, rooted in her own journey from eighteen years in corporate engineering to becoming a purposeful career coach. The core insight is that true success isn't about climbing a ladder, but about aligning your career with what actually feels good and brings you joy. She emphasizes ditching the "shiny but soul-sucking" versions of success that society often pushes. The emotional stakes here are high. For so many high achievers, there's a gnawing feeling of misalignment, a sense of "is this all there is?" Laura experienced this herself, leading to a period of "reverse bedtime procrastination" and a profound sense of being out of sync with her own needs. Her decision to leave a long, established corporate career for her own business, Lead Intact, was a massive leap of faith. She highlights the relief and liberation that came with finally aligning her actions with her inner truth. Key takeaways from the conversation include: The Power of Embodiment: Laura, like many in the "Spirit of the Deal" community, understands that visualizing success isn't enough; you have to embody your future self. This means not just seeing it, but feeling it and acting from that place. Stubbornness as a Strength: She candidly shares her "shadow trait" of stubbornness, which she's powerfully alchemized into determination. When faced with doubt, her stubbornness kicks in, pushing her forward, often against the odds. "Are You Worth It?": The boldest sales conversation takeaway is the question, "The program's worth it, are you worth it?" This flips the script, forcing potential clients to confront their own self-worth and readiness to invest in themselves. Cultural Resilience and Adaptability: Her "cha-cha childhood," moving between the Philippines and the US multiple times, built incredible resilience and an open-mindedness to different ways of being. This has translated into her coaching, allowing her to be deeply understanding of diverse perspectives. The "Why" and "What" of the Deal: Laura's framework for "Spirit of the Deal" centers on understanding the intention behind any exchange – the "why" (your core motivation) and the "what" (your desired outcome), as opposed to just the "how" (the transaction itself). Leaving the Spreadsheet Behind: Her significant career pivot was the first time she didn't create a spreadsheet. This signifies a move from purely logical, data-driven decisions to trusting her intuition and inner knowing. The conversation powerfully illustrates how embracing your authentic identity, even when it means defying expectations and societal norms, leads to a more energized, aligned, and ultimately, more successful life and career. It's about doing the brave work of excavating your own truth and then building your life from that foundation.

In this heartfelt episode of the Spiritual Journey Podcast, hosts Nimesh Radia and Stacey Brown dive deep into one of the most profound lessons on the healing path — learning to let go of the urge to save others. Together they explore how love and compassion often awaken a desire to fix those we care about, yet true healing comes through awareness, holding space, and trusting each soul's unique journey.Through raw stories and spiritual insight, they unpack the beauty and pain of recognizing soul contracts, the power of free will, and the liberation that comes when we stop trying to rescue others. Nimesh and Stacey remind listeners that being a light doesn't mean carrying someone else's weight — it means shining brightly enough for them to find their own way home.

AI isn't coming — it's already here, and it's flipping the script on how we hire, manage, and work across the globe. In this episode, I sit down with Laura Maffucci, VP of HR at Globalization Partners (G-P), to break down how AI is reshaping everything from recruiting to compliance—and what it really means for people on both sides of the hiring table. We talk about the good, the bad, and the “uh-oh” moments of bringing AI into the workplace. Is it making hiring fairer or just faster? Can we trust it to make big decisions? And what happens when employees start wondering if the robots are coming for their jobs?

Self-esteem and confidence come naturally to some. For others, the bridge to confidence is long, full of obstacles, and not worth the trip. There's one important question to ask yourself to be able to cross that bridge. That's today's topic.

Transcript:Da: Det var en kølig efterårsdag.En: It was a cool autumn day.Da: Bladene dansede langs fortovene, og himlen var dækket af tunge skyer.En: The leaves danced along the sidewalks, and the sky was covered with heavy clouds.Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding, da hun stod foran den store skolebygning.En: Freja took a deep breath as she stood in front of the large school building.Da: Det var valgdagen, og hun vidste, hvor vigtigt det var at få sin stemme hørt.En: It was election day, and she knew how important it was to have her voice heard.Da: Da hun trådte ind i gymnastiksalen, blev hun mødt af et virvar af lyde.En: As she stepped into the gymnasium, she was greeted by a chaos of sounds.Da: Mennesker stod i lange køer, lysene skinnede skarpt ned fra loftet, og lyden af folk, der snakkede, frembragte et konstant, summende lydtæppe.En: People stood in long lines, the lights shone brightly down from the ceiling, and the sound of people talking created a constant humming backdrop.Da: Freja begyndte at mærke den velkendte knude af angst i maven.En: Freja began to feel the familiar knot of anxiety in her stomach.Da: Lige ved sin side stod hendes ven Lukas.En: Right beside her stood her friend Lukas.Da: Han gav hende et opmuntrende smil.En: He gave her an encouraging smile.Da: "Du klarer det her, Freja.En: "You've got this, Freja.Da: Jeg er lige her," sagde han beroligende.En: I'm right here," he said soothingly.Da: Freja nikkede, men hendes hænder rystede en smule, da hun krammede sin stemmeseddel.En: Freja nodded, but her hands shook slightly as she clutched her ballot.Da: Mens de stillede sig i køen, skød angsten igen op i hende, og hendes syn blev sløret.En: As they queued, the anxiety surged up in her again, and her vision blurred.Da: Alt omkring hende virkede overvældende, og hendes hjerte slog hurtigere.En: Everything around her seemed overwhelming, and her heart beat faster.Da: Et øjeblik føltes det, som om der ikke var nok luft i rummet.En: For a moment, it felt as though there wasn't enough air in the room.Da: Mikkel, en opmærksom medarbejder ved afstemningsstedet, bemærkede Frejas uro.En: Mikkel, a perceptive employee at the polling station, noticed Freja's distress.Da: Han gik hen til hende med et roligt smil.En: He approached her with a calm smile.Da: "Hej, jeg hedder Mikkel.En: "Hi, my name is Mikkel.Da: Du ser ud til at have det lidt svært.En: You look like you're having a bit of a hard time.Da: Er der noget, jeg kan gøre for at hjælpe?"En: Is there anything I can do to help?"Da: spurgte han venligt.En: he asked kindly.Da: Freja kiggede på ham, overrasket over hans venlighed.En: Freja looked at him, surprised by his kindness.Da: "Jeg har lidt angst... det er bare ret overvældende," indrømmede hun stille.En: "I have a bit of anxiety... it's just really overwhelming," she admitted quietly.Da: "Det er helt i orden," sagde Mikkel.En: "That's perfectly okay," Mikkel said.Da: "Du kan tage din tid.En: "You can take your time.Da: Hvis du vil, kan jeg vise dig til et roligere sted, hvor du kan stemme."En: If you want, I can show you to a quieter place where you can vote."Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding igen.En: Freja took a deep breath again.Da: Med Lukas ved sin side og Mikkels hjælp, følte hun sig lidt mere tryg.En: With Lukas by her side and Mikkel's help, she felt a bit more secure.Da: "Ja, det ville være rigtig rart, tak," svarede hun med et lille smil.En: "Yes, that would be really nice, thank you," she replied with a small smile.Da: Mikkel førte dem til et lille lokale i nærheden af gymnastiksalen.En: Mikkel led them to a small room near the gymnasium.Da: Her var det stille, og belysningen var dæmpet.En: Here it was quiet, and the lighting was dimmed.Da: Det var meget mere behageligt for Freja.En: It was much more comfortable for Freja.Da: Hun satte sig ved bordet, og med Lukas' rolige tilstedeværelse ved hendes side, udfyldte hun sin stemmeseddel.En: She sat at the table, and with Lukas' calm presence by her side, she filled out her ballot.Da: Da hun endelig puttede sin stemmeseddel i boksen, følte Freja en bølge af lettelse og stolthed skylle over sig.En: When she finally placed her ballot into the box, Freja felt a wave of relief and pride wash over her.Da: Hun havde gjort det.En: She had done it.Da: Til trods for sin angst, havde hun opfyldt sin borgerpligt.En: Despite her anxiety, she had fulfilled her civic duty.Da: "Hvor er jeg glad for, at du stemte," sagde Lukas, da de gik ud af den stille zone.En: "I'm so glad you voted," Lukas said as they exited the quiet zone.Da: "Jeg også," sagde Freja med et mere beslutsomt smil.En: "Me too," said Freja with a more resolute smile.Da: Hun vidste nu, at hun kunne overvinde sine bekymringer med støtte fra venner og venlige fremmede som Mikkel.En: She now knew that she could overcome her worries with the support of friends and kind strangers like Mikkel.Da: Det gav hende mod og tro på fremtiden.En: It gave her courage and faith in the future.Da: Da de forlod bygningen, bemærkede hun igen bladene, der blev ført af efterårsvinden.En: As they left the building, she once more noticed the leaves carried by the autumn wind.Da: Denne gang føltes de som et symbol på hendes egen styrke og bevægelse fremad.En: This time, they felt like a symbol of her own strength and movement forward.
