Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Natalya Borakowski, a naturopathic physician who blends her passion for skincare and holistic wellness. From her early days in makeup artistry to becoming a holistic skin advocate, Dr. Natalya shares her journey of overcoming body dysmorphia and discovering the power of embracing every stage of life. She believes that when women feel confident in their skin, they can positively impact the world—and her approach to skincare reflects that connection between mind, body, and soul. Together, we explore the science and spirit of aging, from DNA repair and stress management to the brain-skin connection that links mood, digestion, and hormones. Dr. Natalya highlights how lifestyle choices—like quality sleep, a nourishing diet, and emotional healing—support radiant skin through life transitions such as pregnancy and menopause. This episode also introduces a three-part course to help women navigate self-image, aesthetic decisions, and the biology of aging.

After struggling with body image issues for years, she had a life-changing, unmedicated birth that awakened her to the sacred power and divine nature of her body.

Sam hat die Schnauze voll: Die Mieten in Hamburg steigen ins Unermessliche und der Müll häuft sich – vielleicht helfen jetzt nur noch selbstgemalte Schilder. Und wo wir schon beim Thema Müll sind: Wie oft putzt man eigentlich was in der Wohnung? Und welche Ecken ignoriert man so lange, bis sie offiziell nicht mehr existieren?

https://youtu.be/ySHMeFn4kPA Andy Hite, Founder of Scaling Minds Coaching & Consulting, is on a mission to help leaders navigate complexity, align their teams, and drive meaningful results by transforming both self-leadership and organizational leadership. We explore Andy's Six Shifts Leadership Operating System: Trust, Candor, Ownership, Empowerment, Alignment, and Leadership—a framework that turns groups of executives into high-performing, strategically aligned leadership teams. Andy shares why self-leadership is the starting point for culture change, how to move from hub-and-spoke decision-making to empowered departmental ownership, and why peer accountability and “The Gym of Life” are essential for lasting leadership growth. --- Take Your People to the Gym of Life with Andy Hite Good day, listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Andy Hite, the founder of Scaling Minds Coaching and Consulting, helping leaders navigate complexity, align their teams, and drive meaningful results. Andy, welcome to the show. Hey, Steve. Thanks for having me. I'm excited for the conversation. Yeah, you've got a great story. You've got a great business. And let's get into it with my favorite question, which is, what is your personal “Why” and what are you doing to manifest it in your business? Yeah, I love that question. Because most people can answer what is your “Why.” They might reach for something, but I love the follow-up. What are you actually doing to manifest it? Because that's the part that a lot of people don't always consider. I have a personal and a professional “Why.” My personal “Why,” I really landed on seven, eight years ago. My personal “Why” is to show my children that they can do and be and achieve anything they want. My kids are now 19, twin daughters, by the way. And as most parents do when they're younger, as they're growing up, we tell them these things. Hey, you can do anything, you could be anything, you can create anything. But I was confronted maybe eight years ago with walking the walk, not just talking the talk. I had a corporate gig and the thought and idea of starting this business was there. And for a while, I kind of put blinders on because truthfully, as many of your listeners can imagine, I'm sure you can imagine as well, leaving something that's steady and secure to start over in your forties is really, really scary, and most people, I talked to a lot of people, entrepreneurs, they're like, I can't do it. I have a family of obligations, I have bills. And I was confronted with that. I've been telling my kids this forever, am I living it? Am I actually going after the things that I want? And so I didn't want my words to be hollow. So I started walking the walk. I left that work and I started this business. And every day, as entrepreneurs know, can be a struggle as we're building. And so it's really just showing them, hey, if you're willing to put in the work, you can create anything. You can be anything.Share on X So that's a long-winded answer, Steve, of what my personal “Why” is and how I get up every morning thinking about, don't be a hypocrite, go do the work and show them. I tell this to my kids as well, that the biggest thing about being a father is that, or any parent, is that there's nowhere to hide. So, you really have to evoke, otherwise you are a hypocrite and it's not always easy. You have to really do the right thing, not just pretend you're doing the right thing because they're gonna see it. Yeah, well, and I didn't want my words to just be for them or hollow. So I was forced to kind of walk the walk and thank God I did. Yeah. Okay, well, I'm sure that there is another motivation behind this. It's not just the show for the kids. You've got to love what you're doing. So, tell me a little bit about what you do and specifically you develop the leadership operating system called Six Shifts.

In the day to day grind of our life, it is very easy to loose sight of things we are grateful for. The truth is that no matter how bad things are, no matter the struggle, there is still room for gratitude. Through gratitude comes joy and joy is the path to being in love with our life. One breath at a time.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  In today's episode, I'll continue exploring the profound impact of attachments and why learning to let go is a key to personal growth and true freedom. Building on last week's conversation, I dive deeper into the idea that everything in life – people, relationships, material things, and even our own beliefs – is temporary. By fully grasping the impermanence of all things, we begin to understand how our attachments can hold us back from experiencing a more fulfilling and joyful life. Throughout this episode, I share personal stories of missed opportunities, valuable lessons, and the ways attachments and fears have affected my own journey. You'll hear how even seemingly small attachments can have a powerful impact on our happiness and decision-making and why our attachments to comfort and security often keep us from taking meaningful steps forward. I'll also offer insights into the balance of caring deeply without being controlled by our attachments. By cultivating non-attachment, we free ourselves to live more authentically, embracing each moment without being weighed down by the need to cling or control. Together, we'll explore practical ways to release what no longer serves us so we can live with greater peace, power, and presence. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Letting Go of Attachments (00:46): Why releasing attachments to people, places, and things allows us to live more freely and fully. Fear as an Attachment (01:30): Understanding how we can be attached to fear and how this attachment limits our potential. The Cost of Attachment (05:07): Real-life examples that reveal the heavy price of staying attached to familiar yet limiting beliefs and situations. Transforming Attachments into Empowerment (12:16): How to consciously choose attachments that support personal growth and fulfillment rather than those that drain energy and joy. Balancing Care and Non-Attachment (20:40): Finding the balance between caring deeply yet remaining unattached to outcomes. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway  When you can be completely at peace with both having something and not having it, you free yourself from the grip of attachment. This balance opens up a pathway to true spiritual evolution, allowing you to live a life rooted in choice rather than control. By releasing the fear of loss, you unlock a deeper sense of inner peace and create the space for joy, fulfillment, and authentic power. Embracing non-attachment isn't about detachment from life—it's about finding freedom within it.  Let's Connect:  ⁠Instagram⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠ | ⁠YouTube⁠ | ⁠LinkedIn⁠  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede klart gennem de store glasvinduer i det moderne kontor i hjertet af København.En: The sun shone brightly through the large glass windows in the modern office in the heart of København.Da: Det var en typisk travl dag på kontoret, men i dag var der også en snert af sommerens laze i luften.En: It was a typically busy day at the office, but today there was also a hint of summer's laze in the air.Da: Freja, en dedikeret projektleder, sad ved sit skrivebord og stirrede på sin computer.En: Freja, a dedicated project manager, sat at her desk staring at her computer.Da:

Send us a textWhat happens when your entire identity is built around being the 'nice guy' who never rocks the boat? Harrison Saunders, host of the Growth Voyage podcast, knows this territory all too well. In this raw, illuminating conversation, Harrison reveals how a devastating wake-up call at age 19 began his journey away from people-pleasing and toward authentic living.Behind the nice guy mask often lies deep-seated shame, frustration, and a profound disconnection from one's true self. Harrison unpacks how childhood experiences—particularly his parents' divorce when he was six—shaped his people-pleasing tendencies and desperate need for external validation. "I wasn't voicing my annoyances," he explains. "I would shove it down, build resentment, and what happens with resentment is that it never leaves your body."The turning point came when Harrison recognized himself as the common denominator in his recurring relationship patterns. This crucial realization shifted him from victim mentality to creator consciousness—a transformation that changed everything. Through disciplines like Thai boxing, pro wrestling, and consistent self-development, Harrison gradually built genuine self-confidence rather than the facade he'd previously maintained.Most powerfully, Harrison shares practical strategies for breaking free from nice guy syndrome: testing boundaries in low-stakes situations, surrounding yourself with people who "call you forward," and reconnecting with your authentic self beneath the layers of conditioning. The reward? Genuine relationships, clear purpose, and the freedom of being loved for who you truly are.Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing tendencies or simply want to live more authentically, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable wisdom. As Harrison puts it: "When you become proud of the person you've become, you stop looking for external approval."Support the show

Everett Uhl - media contacts Site: Everett Uhl Therapy Email: euhl@committed-action.com Instagram @everettuhltherapy In this conversation, I interview Everett Uhl, a licensed marriage and family counselor, about her role as a therapist. We discuss the importance of authenticity in therapeutic practices, the need for action-oriented approaches, and some critiques of traditional therapy models, especially in relation to religious influences. I loved how Everett emphasized the significance of understanding human experiences in context rather than through rigid diagnoses, and of course, I'll always cheer on an advocate for integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into one's practice, with Everett combining it with the Bowen family systems approaches. A Few Highlights Authenticity in therapy fosters a genuine connection with clients. Therapy should empower clients to take action, not just vent. Understanding context is crucial for accurate diagnoses. Expectations of therapy should be realistic and not solely focused on validation. ACT encourages clients to make choices and move forward. Rigid definitions in Christian counseling can lead to harm. Secular therapy provides a safe space free from religious judgment. Therapists should be aware of their biases and dual relationships. The future of therapy should embrace flexibility and critical thinking.

Healing doesn't happen all at once, and it doesn't always look the way we expect. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with hypnotherapist Kerie Logan for a conversation that moves beyond surface-level self-help and dives straight into the heart of transformation.Kerie shares her personal journey into hypnotherapy and the trauma-informed approach she now brings to her practice—one rooted in safety, compassion, and a deep understanding of how the body and mind hold onto pain. Together, she and Lyndsay talk about what it means to truly feel safe in your healing, why self-love isn't optional, and how shame and judgment can quietly derail even the strongest among us.This isn't about quick fixes or bypassing the hard stuff. It's about tuning into your own frequency, embracing the weird and the woo, and realizing that healing happens in layers, not on a timeline. Kerie introduces the idea of 3D, 4D, and 5D consciousness, not as some far-off spiritual theory, but as a way to understand where we're stuck… and where we're headed.If you've been feeling disconnected, broken, or stuck in your pain, this episode is your permission slip to begin again with softness, honesty, and maybe a little hypnosis.Tune in if you're ready to trade judgment for curiosity—and start healing on your own terms.Find Kerie Logan Online Here:Website: www.empoweredwithin.comWebsite: www.mastertheupperrooms.comWebsite: www.undetectednarcissist.comInstagram: @mastertheupperoomsYouTube: Master the Upper Rooms of Human ConsciousnessYouTube: Empowered Within HypnosisLinkedIn: Kerie LoganPodcast: Undetected NarcissistPodcast: Master the Upper Rooms of Human ConsciousnessFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma Healing(03:09) Kerie's Journey into Hypnotherapy(09:30) The Power of Hypnotherapy and Self-Healing(15:29) Building Trust in Hypnotherapy(21:00) Creating a Non-Judgmental Space for Healing(23:16) Breaking Free from Self-Judgment(24:38) Harnessing the Power of Rebellion(25:05) Understanding Pain and Its Positive Aspects(26:23) Emotional Pain vs. Physical Pain(27:12) Healing Through Soul Conversations(29:12) Transforming Relationships with Forgiveness(30:34) Lessons from Painful Experiences(32:26) The Role of Trauma in Personal Growth(33:35) Generational Trauma and Its Impact(34:25) Embracing Authenticity and Rebellion(35:39) The Healing Process and Its Challenges(37:00) Crafting a Personalized Healing Journey(38:18) Intuitive Healing and Spiritual Guidance(40:39) Resources for Healing and Growth(43:43) Final Thoughts on Pain and Healing

#185: That moment when the room falls silent after you've spoken up—not because you're wrong, but because you dared to say something. You've just stepped into that familiar territory where advocating for yourself or others gets you labeled as "difficult," while others receive praise for the exact same behavior.This frustrating double standard isn't just in your head. Harvard Business Review research confirms that 66% of women receive negative personality descriptors in performance reviews when they speak up, with words like "abrasive" and "difficult" appearing far more frequently than in men's reviews. Columbia Business School found that when women are assertive, their likability drops significantly, while men's remains unchanged. We're constantly navigating an impossible tightrope: be warm but not strong enough for leadership, or be direct but "unlikable."The calculation is exhausting—how do I speak my truth without being seen as "too much"? But remaining silent is equally damaging, reinforcing inequities and teaching others you'll tolerate imbalance. Every social advancement throughout history came because someone was willing to be labeled difficult. From women's suffrage to workplace protections, progress happens when people speak uncomfortable truths.You can advocate effectively by leading with facts, using "we" framing instead of "I need," practicing neutral delivery, and knowing which battles deserve your energy. Set boundaries early rather than letting resentment build, and surround yourself with people who value directness rather than trying to convince others your personality is worthwhile.If speaking up makes you "difficult," then perhaps more of us should embrace being difficult together. Workplaces, relationships, and societies don't improve because everyone stayed comfortable—they change because someone had the courage to say "this isn't working" and advocate for better. The next time someone calls you difficult, consider that they might actually be telling you that you're doing something right.You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you! Follow me on social: https://www.instagram.com/babbles_nonsense/

Former submarine commander David Marquet joins EconTalk's Russ Roberts to explore how distancing--thinking like someone else, somewhere else, or sometime else--can unlock better choices in business and life. They talk about leadership without giving orders, how to empower teams, and what it means to see yourself as a coach rather than a boss. Along the way, they discuss Jeff Bezos's leap to start Amazon, Steve Jobs' unique vision, and how a simple mindset shift can transform a struggling crew--or your career. A conversation about thinking clearly under pressure, avoiding regret, and becoming the kind of leader who creates other leaders instead of followers.

Our Annual Nile Valley study tour continues the process of strengthening the work of Africana Studies as a tool for jailbreaking the university and renewing deeper traditions of community-centered education. Inspired by a 1996 exchange between Greg Kimathi Carr and Jacob Carruthers—where Carruthers urged embracing language and concepts from Mdw Ntr over attempting to repurpose European concepts as a form of Africana hermeneutics—this week's reflections link Carruthers' notion of ancient Kemet's governance-through-education process to the “Black University” as a concept. Against a Social Structure hellbent on bending collective memory to serve exclusion, fear, and hatred, this annual study tour affirms education as the highest expression of self-determined nationhood, peoplehood, and statehood. This fall, Carr will teach The Black University in a public format, constructing a syllabus open to all, to explore African people's uncompromising commitment to communal intellectual life, rooted in ancestral guidance and seeking to inspire others to join in liberating knowledge from institutional restraints.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
