Assurances are made to the anointed king that the seed of David will continue with a promise of victory. The last 14 verses are a lament that the king has been forsaken.(07:15) Psalm 93 teaches that the Lord is mightier than the waters, with a description of him overcoming chaos in his acts of creation.(09:14) In Psalm 102 the righteous pray for deliverance. Psalm 115 helps us understand Psalm 102, as they both relate to death and resurrection.(17:23) In Psalm 116 we are assured that God will redeem mankind from death and sorrow and will one day wipe away our tears.(24:10) Psalm 103 describes how the Lord's people rejected him, yet the Lord showed them pity. Much of the Old Testament reflects a post exilic view of God that can be negative. This Psalm shows the lovingkindness of God. Lehi describes the essence of the original Hebrew of this psalm when he says “I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love.” Knowing God's true character, nature, and perfections lead us unto salvation.(31:51) Psalm 105 portrays God's redemptive work with the children of Israel and the story of the Exodus.(34:13) Psalm 110, “Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” Different ways to read Psalm 110 in its historical context and in connection with King Benjamin's sermon. Psalm 110 and Psalm 2 both teach about becoming sons and daughters of Christ.(45:37) Psalm 118.22, “The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.” In the Book of Mormon we are warned against rejecting the Messiah, who sits on the right hand of God. Sometimes the Savior does not meet our preconceived expectations.(55:07) Psalm 119 is an acrostic poem, a prayer to God, and one the longest of the psalms.(1:02:35) Psalms 120-134 are 15 “psalms of ascent,” relating to the Water-Drawing Ceremony at the Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus used this imagery to teach about his power to save.(1:08:21) In Psalm 127 we are reminded that children are an heritage of the Lord.(1:12:52) Psalm 135 elaborates upon Israel's history from the pre-earth Council in Heaven to King David.(1:16:16) Psalm 136 begins in the premortal Council, reiterates the creation, and then Israel's Exodus. God's mercy endures forever.(1:17:39) Psalm 137 is an emotionally moving exilic psalm lamenting the destruction of the temple.(1:23:34) Psalm 138 is a thanksgiving prayer of praise. Psalm 139 expresses the king's worthiness to approach God at the veil of the temple.(1:24:30) Psalm 146 expresses the message of the work Jehovah would do. This was also the message of the angel to King Benjamin. Psalm 148 shows God's power in his creative works.(1:27:21) Psalms 149 and 150 emphasize the participatory nature of the First Israelite Temple Drama. Israel is to sing a new song praising God. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 387 | Psalms 102-150, Come Follow Me 2026 (Aug 31-Sept 6) appeared first on Talking Scripture.

What if the key to a more impactful 2027 is the work you do before the new year begins? In this amazing episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh sits down with Carolina Flores to take you behind the vision for Iconic Impact, an intentional experience created for ambitious women, entrepreneurs, leaders, thought leaders, and change-makers who are ready to create their next incredible chapter. Allison and Carolina explore what it means to honor where you are while still being ambitious about where you're going. They dive into alignment, mindset, personal branding, visibility, leadership, influence, and the importance of channeling ambition in a direction that creates meaningful impact—not simply doing more because you feel like you should. They also talk about why Q4 is the perfect time to start preparing for 2027. Instead of waiting until January 1 to set goals, this is an opportunity to reflect on what worked, what didn't, what you want more of, what you're ready to release, and what you need to put in place now to enter the new year with clarity and momentum. For women who have spent years building behind the scenes, Allison and Carolina also explore the next step of becoming more visible. Whether you're growing a business, advancing your career, building a personal brand, leading a nonprofit, or expanding your influence, visibility can help you take the expertise and experience you've already built and turn it into greater impact. And then there's the power of community. Iconic Impact was created to bring together ambitious women who understand what it means to build something meaningful—and who believe that success becomes even more powerful when we use it to support, champion, and create opportunities for other women. From the incredible speaker lineup to the hands-on Impact Lab, meaningful connections, and the new Impact Grants supporting women entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders, Allison and Carolina share what makes this experience different and why every detail has been created with intention. If you're ready to strengthen your visibility, expand your influence, connect with women who understand the journey, and create a more intentional next chapter, this conversation will give you a glimpse of what's waiting for you at Iconic Impact. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Q4 is the perfect time to prepare for a more impactful 2027 How to align your ambition with your purpose and values Why ambitious women often compare themselves to their own expectations How to move beyond comparison and focus on meaningful impact Why personal branding and visibility matter for your next level How women can turn their expertise into greater influence The importance of building a strong community around you Why you don't have to build your business or career alone How to recognize when you're ready for your next chapter What to expect from the Iconic Impact experience How Impact Lab will help women strengthen their visibility and create content How the Iconic Impact Grants will support emerging founders and nonprofit leaders Why investing in women creates a ripple effect of meaningful change How to think about your legacy and the women coming behind you Join Us at Iconic Impact Ready to create your next incredible chapter? The She Believed She Could™ ICONIC IMPACT takes place November 5, 2026, in The Center for Health and Wellbeing | Winter Park, Florida, bringing together ambitious, accomplished women for meaningful conversations around leadership, visibility, business growth, wellbeing, purpose, and impact. The experience continues November 6 with the exclusive VIP Impact Lab at Hi Hello Labs.

Consistency has never come easily to me. I'm a scattered creative, I have ADHD, and I have struggled with routines and habits for pretty much my whole life. For years I assumed that meant something was wrong with me, and I felt like it was my fault that I couldn't stay consistent with anything. But this week's guest, Monica Packer, has changed how I feel about habit-building. Monica hosts the podcast About Progress, she recently wrote the book Sticky Habits, and she's one of my best friends in real life. She has spent a decade teaching women to build habits in a way that is compassionate and realistic for busy moms. She gave me a new definition of consistency in this conversation, and it is the first one that has ever made habit-building feel possible for someone like me. In this episode, you'll learn:
You will never be happy. You will never be successful. Not until you learn how to take responsibility. That means accepting the role you play in your world being exactly what it is right now, not 25% of it, all of it. Niyi breaks down the difference between excuses and responsibility. An excuse is a reason for your failure with one job: to protect you from the pain of failure and the weight of owning it. Responsibility is different. It's accepting the full weight of your reality with no chaser. Identifying what you did or didn't do that caused where you're at. Then identifying the new goal and taking action toward it. When you fail, go inward first. Not outward. Not at your circumstances, not at other people. No guilt. No shame. Just reality. Your goals are your responsibility. If you don't have them yet, it's usually one of three things: lack of action, lack of accountability, or no system. That's it. That's the whole diagnosis.

For years, I spent more energy trying to prevent other people's disappointment by saying yes and doing more. And I did so at the expense of my own exhaustion and burnout. In this episode, we're talking about a specific flavor of ADHD overwhelm: the kind that builds when your compassion, your capability, and your rejection sensitivity all push you toward being the person who handles everything for everyone else. If you've ever wondered why you used to manage this fine and suddenly can't, this episode names what changed and offers four steps to start shifting it. In Episode 370, You Will Discover: Why caring, capability, and rejection sensitivity combine to make you the go-to person for everyone else The jar-of-sand explanation for why this pattern used to feel manageable and doesn't anymore How your strengths can tip into obstacles when they run unchecked A 4-step way for your ADHD brain to notice the pattern, name the belief underneath it, and practice the pause before saying yes Resources From This Episode: Episode 366: Overpromising and ADHD The Overwhelm to Action Intensive Work With Me: Learn more about private coaching here Join We're Busy Being Awesome (group coaching) Enroll in Overwhelm to Action - step by step course for ADHD Brains More ADHD Resources: Discover Your ADHD Overwhelm Type - Free Quiz!

If you've been telling yourself you'll pitch the conference, keynote, or TEDx talk once you feel more confident, I want you to reconsider the order. Public speaking isn't something you do after you become confident. It's one of the ways confidence is created.I'm sharing three practical ways to build real speaking confidence: say yes and get the reps, experiment with different formats and time constraints, and use podcasting to strengthen your ability to speak naturally. I tell the story of walking into a TV studio for the first time with my heart pounding - and how becoming a regular political analyst years later finally gave me the repetition I needed to trust myself.And then there's the thing that surprised me most: taking an eight-week improv class. Even after decades of speaking, improv helped me get out of my head, into my body, and more comfortable not knowing exactly what would happen next.In this episode, you'll learn:Why confidence is created through speaking rather than perfected in privateWhat it means to embody your message instead of delivering it only from your headWhy repetition builds the muscle memory that makes speaking feel more naturalWhat my first TV political panel taught me about saying yes before I felt readyWhy relying on a script can interrupt your connection with the audienceHow PechaKucha, Ignite, DisruptHR, workshops, and keynotes develop different speaking skillsWhy hosting a podcast or becoming a regular podcast guest strengthens impromptu speakingWhat an eight-week improv class taught me about uncertainty and presenceHow speaking confidence can help you claim the identity of “speaker”Why women's public voices matter to gender equalityAbout Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox. At Speaking Your Brand, we help women entrepreneurs and professionals clarify their brand message and story, create their signature talks, and develop their thought leadership platforms. Our mission is to get more women in positions of influence and power because it's through women's stories, voices, and visibility that we challenge the status quo and change existing systems.

Growth sounds exciting—more clients, more classes, a bigger team, maybe even another location. But if your fitness studio already feels chaotic, growth won't fix the problem. It'll simply make the chaos bigger.
Everybody wants something. Success. A relationship that works. The version of themselves they see in their head. Inspired by Ben Havn's "Looking Good," Niyi breaks down the three things that actually get you there, and none of them are luck. First, you have to learn. Most of the frustration you're carrying comes from not knowing what you're doing, and getting your information from people on Instagram who don't know either. Read the books. Take the courses. Get real knowledge instead of guessing your way through life. Second, you have to believe in yourself, and that belief isn't something you just decide to have. You build it through reflection. Knowing what you want and why you want it. Facing the parts of yourself you've been avoiding instead of running from them. Third, you have to put in the work. Deep work on yourself first, then work in the world making it happen. Knowledge without action is nothing. Belief without action is nothing. Set the goal. Build the plan. Follow through until you get it. That's the whole game. 2 days left to join Lock In. $90 to lock in your one goal for 90 days. Enroll now at imnotyou.com/lockin
The Assistant Habits Weekly Planner is designed to help you lead well through consistent action. In many ways, Assistant Habits is a rebirth of my very first resource for assistants: the 30-Day Assistant Challenge email course. That original course was built on a simple belief – that small, consistent actions compound into real growth. Assistant Habits carries that same idea forward, one action at a time.My passion is to help assistants like you lead well, resist burnout, and automate before you're automated. Every action in the Assistant Habits Weekly Planner reflects that mission and is practical, specific, and immediately useful on the job.Are you up for the challenge?Check out the Assistant Habits Weekly Planner -> assistanthabits.com/weekly-plannerShow notes -> leaderassistant.com/391--It's the last day of the offsite and it was exactly what the team needed.

Tough situations bring feelings. Frustration. Failure. Feeling exposed. That's not the problem. The problem is what you do next. Most people look for the nearest thing to numb it. Food. Drugs. A workout. TV. Social media. More work. Niyi breaks down why the thing you pick doesn't matter nearly as much as the fact that you're running. Every time you numb instead of feel, you're reinforcing one belief: I can't handle a feeling. That's not a KILLA. That's a ghost, dodging something that can't even touch you unless you let it. The move is the opposite. Run toward the feeling. Sit in it. Study it. Figure out what it's actually telling you. Then decide on the right action and make your move. You can't lead from Self if you're afraid of what you feel. 3 days left to decide on your #1 goal and join Lock In. Enroll now at imnotyou.com/lockin
A slow season may be exactly what your business needs. Every business owner experiences slow business seasons when ideas stop flowing, outreach goes nowhere, cash feels tight, or the systems and team you built suddenly feel messy. It's easy to panic during these seasons, especially when we're constantly told to keep pushing, stay consistent, and never slow down. But slow business seasons are a normal part of growth. I've experienced plenty of them in my own staging business—from quiet summer and winter seasons to credit card debt, overflowing inventory, and moments when I wondered if my business would ever gain momentum again. Instead of seeing these periods as failures, I learned to use them as opportunities to step back, look at what wasn't working, and decide what needed my attention. When business slows down, your first instinct might be to push harder, but sometimes you don't need more pressure. You need grace and space. Take a look at what's working. Identify the gaps. Clean up a process. Revisit your numbers. And instead of trying to fix everything at once, focus on your next step. Books, podcasts, coaching, and conversations with other business owners can also help spark new ideas and motivation when you're feeling stuck.

My instinct, when one of my kids is struggling, is to solve it, save them from it, or to worry about it so intensely that the worrying becomes consuming. These instincts are natural because I love my kids so much, and I hate to see them in pain. But they also don't work, at least not very effectively. Our children need to experience hard things in order to grow, and the most useful thing I can do, as their mom, is to walk beside them, listen to their big emotions, and help them find resources. It doesn't come as instinctually because it's a slower process, but it's what they really need when they're going through something hard. This is the sixth and final episode in my back-to-school check-in series for moms, six short episodes walking you through the six principles of self-assured motherhood, each one with a concrete way to assess how you're actually doing. Today's principle is Support Their Struggles, and I picked that verb over solve, or save, or shame, because supporting means being with your child in the hard thing rather than lifting them out of it. In this episode, you'll hear:
Most people get thrown into a bad situation and immediately go to what they're afraid of. What they don't want. What could go wrong. That's the wrong move every time. In this episode, Niyi breaks down the one shift that changes everything in a tough situation: know what you want, and know why you want it. Not what you're avoiding. Not what scares you. What you're going after. That clarity gives you energy. That energy gives you focus. And focus is what turns into good action, the kind that starts chipping away at the bad situation piece by piece. This isn't about ignoring the problem. It's about where you put your attention when things get hard. Most people are reactive. This episode teaches you to be directed. 4 days left to join Lock In.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Friday!! It's a GIRLS episode.. Harrison is in Chicago, so it's Alex & Jules answering YOUR questions. The theme: married with kids vs. single and child-free, and every question in between. But first, life: Tate learned to cockadoodle doo AND somersault this week (grandma brought a tumbling matt.. Harrison is going to come home to a full show). Then we get into the birthday crying phenomenon (high expectations + "don't plan anything!!" = a recipe lol.. moral of the story: say what you actually want, and a card is the MINIMUM), the Mommy & Me dance class dynamic where the mom vibes matter just as much as the toddler vibes (the water bottle incident.. iykyk), you know you're an adult when.. (Alex has a wrapping paper CLOSET), and your new favorite word: detritus. You will now see it in every book you read forever, you're welcome. Then the Q&A. You guys sent the most thoughtful questions about opposite seasons of life and we tried to answer from both sides: how to actually show up for friends in a different phase, whether Alex ever misses her pre-kid life, how Jules finds contentment single at 30, and whether it's EVER okay to ask someone if they want kids (short version: let them bring it up!) Plus the etiquette rapid-fire: exclusively breastfed babies at no-kids weddings, declining a good friend's party when you don't want to leave your baby, whether single friends actually want kids' birthday party invites (yes.. if that's where her people are, that's where she wants to be
→ Watch on YouTube → Detailed Show Notes (00:00) A brief summary of the psalms.(02:51) Psalm 49 can be read as a resurrection text. “God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave.”(09:20) Psalm 50 teaches that God will come and establish order and peace.(11:53) Psalm 51 is a prayer asking for forgiveness and a new heart. Hesed is a word used to describe God's lovingkindness, or his everlasting love. Repentance is rebuilding our relationship with the Savior.(28:59) Psalm 61 can be read as a plea of the king before he goes out to battle and can be seen in the setting of the temple drama. Compared to God, we are nothing. The teaching of works is found here, but is often lost.(33:32) To be built upon the Rock is emphasized in the Psalms and also in the Book of Mormon.(41:43) Psalm 63 is a veil type-scene, as the king approaches the presence of God. “In the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice…thy right hand upholdeth me.” This psalm is connected to Malachi 4.(52:10) Psalm 64 is a prayer for help. Psalm 65 is an expression of thanks for the abundant harvest feast and the blessing of water in the land.(59:02) Psalm 66 is an example of how the sacred temple drama was participatory.(1:03:31) Psalm 68 depicts God as one who loves the widows and the fatherless. It also portrays the battle between light and darkness.(1:06:12) Psalm 69 teaches that God will bless and help us, but we are also here to be tested. “Deliver me out of the mire and let me not sink.” Psalm 70 is a prayer to God for deliverance.(1:09:35) Psalm 72 portrays the coronation of the king. Isaiah 61 contains all five essential parts of the ancient coronation ceremony.(1:14:31) Psalm 74 shows God's conflict with the dragon and the sea. Creation and order come out of chaos.(1:15:32) Psalm 77 and 78 retell the story of Moses, a mighty king who carried Israel out of Egypt. This establishes his legitimacy and is tied to the temple drama and God's sovereignty on earth. We must teach our children.(1:21:03) Psalm 82 portrays the Council of the Gods, or the council before the world was. Jesus quotes this passage, “Ye are gods and children of the Most High.”(1:27:13) Psalm 85 teaches that truth will spring out of the earth and righteousness shall look down from heaven.(1:30:56) Psalm 86 highlights King David as he begs for forgiveness. David works to repent by reconnecting with God. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 386 | Psalms 49-86, Come Follow Me 2026 (August 24-30) appeared first on Talking Scripture.
We're ending our Summer of '70s with one of the most controversial movies we've ever covered: A Clockwork Orange. Is this an artsy masterpiece or just shock for the sake of it?

You want the results. You don't want the work. That's the problem. This world made you soft. It made you comfortable. It sold you a version of "success" that doesn't require sweat, hills, or throwing up on the field. Niyi breaks down why the gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't a mindset gap, it's a work gap. He pulls from his own days grinding through NFL training, the moments he wanted to quit on that hill, and the exact feeling that showed up on the other side of pushing through it. If you're waiting for motivation to show up before you put in the work, you're going to wait forever. This episode is the wake up call. Stop being lazy. Stop being delusional about what it actually takes. More is required. Embrace it. 5 days left to lock in your spot for Lock In, my new 90 day coaching program. One goal. 90 days. No distractions.

Kymm Martinez was doing the work to land clients.She had scorecards. She had a tracker. She was having discovery meetings and working her network. She had nearly 20 years of marketing experience at General Mills plus two CMO roles so she understood business development. And yet her pipeline wasn't becoming predictable, and she couldn't figure out why.In Episode 285, Melisa Liberman sits down with Kymm to unpack what was actually happening and what changed when she put a microscope to the activity instead of just doing more of it.Kymm shares how she discovered she was focused on quantity instead of quality, the corporate habits she didn't realize she'd carried into her consulting business, and how perfectionism was quietly blocking her at every stage of business development.She also shares what shifted in how she thinks about her goals, from replicating her corporate income to setting a very different vision for what her business could become.If you've been putting effort into business development and still don't have a pipeline that feels predictable, Kymm's story will help you figure out exactly where to look.Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] Introduction to Kymm Martinez and why her story matters[00:02] Companion resource: Lead Gen Sprint at www.ConsultantSprint.com[00:04] Kymm's background and what surprised her about going independent[00:07] The corporate habits she didn't realize she'd brought with her[00:22] Perfectionism as a BD blocker and how she's managing it[00:29] What surprised Kymm about the Sprint cohort[00:38] Dreaming bigger: from replicating corporate income to a million-dollar goal[00:43] Advice for fellow independent consultantsResources Mentioned:Companion Resource: The Consultant's Lead Gen Sprint.

This episode is about how to truly make new hires feel welcome, going far beyond a friendly greeting. I break down the common onboarding practices most organizations already do, the well-intentioned mistakes that quietly undermine new hires, and the three levels of welcome that determine whether someone feels like a processed employee or a necessary contributor from day one. The generosity twist here is that anyone in an organization, not just leaders or HR, can create the kind of welcome that makes someone feel uniquely valuable. That is what builds a truly generous workplace culture, and it is something I have experienced firsthand in my own career. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

What you look for, you will find. I have believed that about motherhood for a long time now, long enough that I built a whole journal around the idea, and I have heard from hundreds of mothers who have had the same experience. They weren't finding more good because their children had suddenly changed. They were finding more good because they had started looking for it. That is the whole heart of today's principle, and I love teaching it because it is such a happy way to parent. It makes you feel like a good mom. It reminds you that your kids are awesome, even on the days they are hard. And it gives you hope that all of this work you are doing is worth it, and that it is working. This is the fifth episode in my back-to-school check-in series for moms, six short episodes walking you through the six principles of Self-Assured Motherhood, each one with a concrete way to assess how you're actually doing. Today's principle is Gather the Good, and we're talking about it specifically in the context of noticing and calling out the good in our children. When you start naming the good out loud, something lovely begins to happen. Your child starts to believe that story about who they are, and then they start behaving in ways that support it, which gives you more good to notice, which gives them more reason to believe it. It's a beautiful cycle, and it can start with one sentence said within earshot at the dinner table. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ The two sentences I say out loud about my kids when I know they can hear me, and why I'm not doing it to get them to behave ✨ Why the child who is hardest to praise is usually the one who needs it most, and what to do when that's the season you're in ✨ The green, yellow, and red descriptions for this principle, so you can figure out where you actually are right now, before the school year gets loud There is so much good happening in your home already, and I hope this is the school year you get to spend more of your energy finding it. For full show notes, including takeaways, click here. *** Announcements: ✨ Want to know how you're really doing across all six principles of self-assured motherhood? Take my free quiz. You'll get a clear picture of where you're thriving and where you could use some support, and you'll be added to the info list for my Self-Assured Motherhood program, which opens for enrollment on September 14th with a special discount for quiz-takers. ✨ If you're looking for a concrete daily practice for this principle, the Flecks of Gold Journal is the perfect tool to help.

Fernando Wirtz and Takeshi Morisato join Craig for a primer on Japan's most influential and most contested philosophical tradition, from Nishida and Tanabe through Miki Kiyoshi and Tosaka Jun. The conversation covers what "nothingness" actually means in Japanese thought and why it isn't Heidegger's, how Miki tried to collapse reason and unreason into a logic of imagination, and what tenkō, or forced ideological conversion, did to a generation of Marxist intellectuals. It closes on the newly surfaced Ōshima Memo and the question of what it costs to think under fascism.Books mentioned in this episodeMiki Kiyoshi, The Logic of Imagination, translated by John W. M.

You forgive fast, or you burn slow. Jon Gordon might be setting the record for most appearances on this show at this point, and there's a reason for that. He's one of my closest friends, someone I call when I need real advice, and honestly one of only two people left where I still ask myself "what would John do" before I make a big decision, especially now that my dad is gone. When someone like that comes back on the show, you pay attention. His new book, The Power of Positive Habits, might be the most tactical thing he's ever written. Ninety-three habits, pulled from nearly two decades of working with the best coaches and leaders in sports and business. Out of everything we covered, one story stopped me cold. Jon shared the moment he finally forgave his biological father, a man who wasn't there for his wedding, who abandoned him when he was a year old. "Holding onto resentment", he told me, "is like gripping a hot coal meant for someone else. You're the one who ends up burned." He wishes he had forgiven faster. So do I, on my own stuff. That's why we're calling this one Forgive Fast. Here's what you'll gain from this episode: Forgive Fast: Why holding onto resentment, bitterness, or an old grudge is quietly costing you more than the person who wronged you. The Thank You Walk: The daily gratitude practice that shifted Jon's mindset, saved his marriage, and became the source of nearly every book idea he's ever had. Write Your Purpose Statement: Why putting your "why" on paper, not just carrying it in your head, is what keeps you from burning out when things get hard. The Four Questions: What elite coaches like Sean McVay and Dave Roberts ask themselves every single day to keep improving instead of coasting on past success. Tune Out Distractions: The sea turtle story Jon shares that will completely change how you think about chasing the wrong lights in your own life. Jon said the sooner you forgive, the sooner you start growing again. Whatever you're still carrying, this episode is your permission to finally put it down.

Okay, this week's conversation went WAY off-roading.
If you're an introvert, Projector in Human Design, or subscribe to the "if they wanted to, they would" line of thinking, this episode is for you.Agata Serocka comes on the show today as a spokesperson for Projectors, who think reaching out, pitching, and asking for what they want isn't part of their strategy. We get into how to build a signal, BECOME the invitation, and not miss out on life's biggest opportunities by sitting in the passenger seat. We talk about:Reframing "waiting for the invitation" and how to move beyond the LITERAL interpretation to actively create conditions (podcasting, writing, showing up) that invite opportunities.Making outreach and pitching feel warm and not annoying AF. Building genuine rapport, finding connections, and doing research before reaching out vs. cold-pitching someone "hey girl haven't talked since we were 16 but would love for you to join my course! Link in bio!"Reframing labels (Projector, HSP, ADHD, rejection-sensitive) as data points to design a personalized, sustainable approach to visibility and business.Discernment over volume. How to say no to opportunities that don't fit, and trusting what's meant to work out, will! Making pitching fun and creative again. Gamify audacity by using playful approaches like quests, small asks, and outlandish ideas to build confidence and make outreach sustainable vs. another "ugh, I have to do that?" choreConnect with Agata:The Culture of Unrushing Podcast on Spotify and AppleSubstackWaitlist to Agata's mastermindExperience Audit FreebieConnect with Chelsea:Join the SHOOT YOUR SHOT CHALLENGE Aug 25-27th!Enroll in Audacity for $900 off til Aug 27th!Get on the Ultimate Pitch Kit waitlist

I have a confession. Of the six principles I teach in Self-Assured Motherhood, soul-care is the one where I'm still not where I want to be. I've taken good care of my mind and my spirit over the years, but when work gets busy, the first things to go are exercise, sleep, and eating well, and I'm starting to feel the cost of that in my body as I get older. I say soul-care rather than self-care on purpose. Self-care has gotten a bad rap over the last few years, and I understand why. It has come to sound like bubble baths and expensive skin care, which can be an overwhelming (and not always helpful) thing to hand a woman who is truly worn out and struggling. A soul is body, mind, and spirit together, and caring for all three is a much bigger and more useful thing to talk about. This is day four of the Back-to-School Check-In for Moms, a six-part series walking through each principle of the Self-Assured Motherhood framework, one short episode at a time. Caring for your soul can be bubble baths, but it can also be eating regular meals, and scheduling your mammogram. It can be learning something interesting, and it can be making sure to schedule a much needed nap. Soul-care is how we make sure we have the energy and bandwidth we need to take care of those we love and thrive in our lives. In this episode you'll hear:
You all loved part 1.... just wait until you hear part 2 - THE FINALE.

If you're exhausted by creating a brand-new presentation every time you're invited to speak, I get it. You want the talk to fit the audience. But customizing your message is very different from reinventing it.In this episode, I'm joined by our coaches Diane Diaz and Erin Mark to talk about how we each use one foundational signature talk across different audiences, industries, and formats.Erin shares how she adapts her CALM framework for everything from a six-minute-and-40-second PechaKucha talk to a 60-minute keynote. Diane explains what to keep, what to change, and why your stories should be the last thing you cut when time is tight.In this episode, we talk about:Why customizing a signature talk is different from creating a new talk from scratchThe core elements that should stay consistent across speaking engagementsHow Erin adapts her CALM framework for different industries and talk lengthsHow Diane changes stories and audience engagement without losing her central messageWhy listing 10, 15, or 20 speaking topics can make you harder to remember and referHow our Brand Voice Canvas connects your mission, expertise, methodology, and experiencesWhat Erin did when she was assigned a topic outside her expertiseHow to expand a keynote into a workshop without turning it into a content dumpHow your signature talk can become podcast talking points, website copy, and months of LinkedIn contentAbout Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox. At Speaking Your Brand, we help women entrepreneurs and professionals clarify their brand message and story, create their signature talks, and develop their thought leadership platforms.

If your Pilates studio marketing feels like a lot of work for very little return, the answer may not be to post more, create more Reels, send more emails, or spend more money on ads.The real problem might be your message.In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, Seran Glanfield explores one of the most common marketing challenges among Pilates, barre, and yoga studio owners: marketing the method instead of marketing what the method makes possible.Because effective boutique fitness marketing isn't simply about creating awareness of what you offer. It's about creating relevance.In this episode, you'll learn:Why creating more content won't fix an unclear marketing messageThe difference between marketing the “vehicle” and marketing the “destination”Why clients are buying much more than a 50-minute Pilates classHow to turn studio features like small classes and expert instructors into meaningful client benefitsWhy broad messaging such as “build strength” or “feel your best” can become almost invisibleHow specificity helps the right client recognize that your studio is for themWhy strong marketing joins the conversation already happening in your client's mindHow a clearer message can improve your content, sales conversations, offers, and overall studio positioningThis episode is for you if you've been consistently posting, emailing, trying different offers, or experimenting with social media - but you still aren't seeing the steady flow of qualified new clients you want.If you're ready to build a more profitable, sustainable boutique fitness studio with clearer marketing, stronger systems, better retention, and a business that works as a whole, learn more about Thrive, my business coaching program for boutique fitness studio owners, at springthree.com/thrive.Got a question for Seran?

Problems need energy to live. Stop feeding yours. You guys, I've gotten so many messages asking me to cover this, and I get it, because I still work on this myself. Today I'm handing you the exact system I use, the one I teach my athletes, my entertainers, and my politician clients, to eliminate most of the problems in your life before they ever get the chance to grow. And I didn't want to just teach it. I wanted to show you it in action, so I pulled some of the most powerful moments from my archives: Tony Robbins on why fear is physical, a world champion barrel racer's comeback from a 2% chance to live, Dean Graziosi's hardest six months, and Amy Purdy's fight to walk again. Here's what you'll gain from this episode: The 3 step formula: Make a decision, flood yourself with certainty, and take insane action. This alone will crush most of your problems. The 90/10 rule: Why pouring your energy into the problem instead of the solution is the single biggest mistake most people make. Fear is physical: Tony Robbins breaks down why your breathing, your posture, and your body are running your emotional state, and how to take it back. The comeback formula: A world champion barrel racer's story of being told she'd never walk again, and what she did with that news. The lock came off the box: Dean Graziosi's most vulnerable story yet, and the one decision that changed everything on the other side of it. I've said it before and I'll say it again: you're always going to have problems. That's not a flaw in your life, it's proof you're growing. So take this system, put it to work today, and watch how much lighter you feel. Max out. See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential!

Your brain may be the reason you can't escape the daily demands of your staging business. You hired the team. You built the systems. You finally have enough revenue to get some help. So why are you still answering every question, managing every installation detail, and stepping in whenever something goes sideways? Your brain has become really, really good at keeping you busy. When your days are filled with mover coordination, client messages, invoicing, item pulls, and last-minute fire drills, your brain adapts to that environment. Reactivity becomes its default setting. Even as your business grows, you may keep finding new ways to insert yourself into work that someone else could handle. Meanwhile, the work that actually requires you, like strengthening partnerships, refining your pricing, planning future revenue, and leading your team, keeps getting pushed to another day. In this episode of the Staging Sips podcast, I'm exploring the neuroscience behind reclaiming your CEO time and why waiting until you feel "ready" to let go usually keeps you stuck. You'll learn what happens in your brain when you operate in a constant state of urgency, why that makes strategic thinking harder, and how buying back your time can retrain your brain for higher-level leadership. I'm also sharing the two filters I want you to use when deciding whether a task still belongs on your plate: math and mission. What is your time worth, and is this task beneath that rate? Does this move you closer to your vision, or keep you buried in the weeds? Because busy is a warning light. And protecting your CEO hours is how you begin building a business that can grow, flow, and thrive without requiring you to hold every single piece together. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: How your brain becomes wired for reactivity when your days are consumed by urgent tasks. Why waiting until you feel ready makes reclaiming your time even harder. The connection between mental space and strategic CEO-level decision-making. The math and mission filters for deciding what should stay on your plate. How to choose the first tasks and hours to buy back in your business. Why freeing the right hours matters more than finding the least expensive help. The mindset shift that moves you from short-term panic into long-term builder mode.

After years and years of therapy, I have gotten pretty good at setting boundaries with almost everyone in my life. My weakest area, by far, is my own children. I'm a softie, and it is very difficult for me to let my kids be unhappy and not immediately try to resolve it. That instinct comes from something real, because connection with my children is one of my true strengths and I lean into it on purpose, but it can tip over into permissiveness pretty easily. And since I work from home, the line between when I'm mom and when I'm working has stayed blurry for years, which means I have been frustrated with my kids for interrupting me when I was never clear or consistent with them in the first place about when they could and could not come in. This is the third episode in my back-to-school check-in series for moms, six short episodes walking you through the six principles of self-assured motherhood, each one with a concrete way to assess how you're actually doing. Today's principle is Balance Your Boundaries, and because boundaries have become such a buzzword, I want to take us back to a simple definition of what they are and what they are not. Boundaries are what you will do to honor your needs, not what you expect other people to do. Which means the whole thing gets a lot simpler, because it stops depending on anyone else cooperating.

They can be divided into hymns of praise, pleas for help or laments, and thanksgiving songs.(08:44) Some LDS scholars see the setting of the Psalms directly connected to the temple.(15:13) In Psalm 1 the Tree of Life is seen, similar to Nephi's dream in 1 Nephi 8-11.(17:14) Psalm 2 is an enthronement Psalm. The king is set on a holy hill in Zion and is adopted as a Son of God.(20:36) By making a covenant with God, the king is given the promise of invulnerability. This is both literal and symbolic.(23:35) Psalm 8 depicts God's glorious creations. We are central in his creations.(26:21) “For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels”. The original Hebrew text states that man is “a little lower than the Elohim.”(29:28) Psalm 19 emphasizes the laws of the Lord, portraying the law as “sweeter than honeycomb.”(31:37) Psalm 20 is a plea for help. We receive increased divine attention when we go to the temple.(33:02) Psalm 21 portrays the king receiving the requested blessing, as he comes before the Lord and receives a crown in his presence.(36:29) Psalm 22 describes the Messiah's battle with evil. We are given a glimpse into the Savior's struggle in Gethsemane and Golgotha as he cries out during the day and the night. Justin, in his dialogue with Trypho, connects the sufferer's cry in Psalm 22 with Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane.(42:28) Jesus, though mocked while on the cross, did not revile against those who ridiculed him.(45:31) The Bulls of Bashan compass the Messiah. His bones are out of joint, he is poured out like water, and his hands and feet are pierced.(51:36) The Savior's post-mortal ministry in the spirit world.(56:50) Psalm 23 shows the plan of salvation in the pattern of a three-act play. The rod or staff is an extension of God.(1:01:22) Changing the tenses of the verbs in Psalm 23 can provide additional application.(1:05:03) Psalm 24, “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?” As we demonstrate our trust in Jesus and are cleansed, we are promised we will one day come into the Father's presence.(1:07:45) Psalm 24 as a depiction of the ascent of the king coming into the hill of the Lord, with the priests and the Ark of the Covenant.(1:08:58) Psalm 25 is an acrostic psalm. Psalm 29 portrays God's victory over chaos as his “voice is upon the waters.”(1:12:00) Psalm 40 describes how the king's feet are established on the rock, a symbol of sacred kingship. The king prays for the tender mercies and the lovingkindness of the Lord.(1:15:48) The song of redeeming love.(1:20:14) Psalm 46, “Be still and know that I am God.” → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 385 | Psalms 1-46, Come Follow Me 2026 (August 17-23) appeared first on Talking Scripture.
We're heading back to Faber College for 1978's Animal House. Is this still one of the greatest comedies ever made, or has nearly 50 years of changing tastes finally put Delta House on double secret probation? Are the Deltas lovable underdogs fighting the establishment, or are we actually rooting for a bunch of complete assholes? Does John Belushi's cafeteria scene belong in the physical-comedy Hall of Fame? We tackle all this and more. Grab your toga, fire up the Deathmobile, and remember: fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00 - Pertinent movie details •0:09:30 - Critical and fan reviews •0:16:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:24:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- **Butcher Box- Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first box plus your choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs on or top sirloins in every box for a year. **Cedar Ridge Distillery- Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey. http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12- See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.

I have spent so much time, energy, and money over the years trying to get good at the things I am simply not good at. Routines are my big one. I am not great at keeping our home organized and running on any kind of rhythm, and there have been whole seasons where I decided that fixing that about myself was the most important work I could possibly be doing. Now, there's nothing wrong with striving to be better, and I am fully on board with growth, but we all have a finite amount of energy, and every hour I spend hyper-focusing on a weakness is an hour I don't get to spend magnifying the things that make me who I am. This is the second episode in my back-to-school check-in series for moms, six short episodes walking you through the six principles of self-assured motherhood, each one with a concrete way to assess how you're actually doing. Today's principle is Celebrate Your Strengths, and I love teaching about this because I love giving every woman permission to acknowledge and celebrate her innate gifts and strengths. When you stop trying to be a well-rounded version of everyone else and start leaning into what you naturally do well, your growth in that area becomes exponential, your joy goes up, and your family gets the very best of you instead of a watered-down imitation of somebody else's mothering. In this episode, you'll hear:
