Family estrangement is more common than you may think. Most of us don't talk about our family conflict because we feel shame, stigma, and dread the over-simplistic and judgmental advice, “Why don't you just forgive them and move on?” Yet, research shows that over ¼ of Americans are estranged from their family members. When estranged, it can feel like an open wound that never heals. In this episode, therapist and trauma specialist Giulia Preziuso shares her story of being estranged from her mother for over a decade and the steps she took to find self-compassion, boundaries, and, eventually, true forgiveness.Related ResourcesGet enhanced show notes for this episodeSubscribe to my free Wise Effort newsletter.Become a MORE Life in Process member to support the show.Find out what kind of Striver you are and get your free Skillful Striving ToolkitWant to learn more about ACT?

One of our biggest challenges in life is adapting to change. Brad Stulberg, author of the book Master of Change, believes we need to “Be in conversation with change instead of it happening to you. Set appropriate expectations and adjust them when necessary. Cultivate a rugged yet flexible sense of self.” In this episode, Diana and Brad explore how we can thrive amidst change by developing a more fluid sense of self and a stronger connection to our core values.

On this episode we speak to Alan Bateson. Alan is an incredibly interesting guy who has had a colourful past in his lead up to becoming not only a great ultra runner, but also a shining example of overcoming childhood abuse to become an ambassador for various charities that help young people and adults to live their lives after the trauma of living through abuse. We talk about his misspent youth in and out of correctional facilities. His drug and alcohol addiction and his mental health issues that have plagued his past. But on a more positive note, we hear about the amazing feats of endurance that he's achieved since he went clean and started ultra running. We talk about his first attempt and failure to run the Welsh coastal path. We talk about his successful attempt at not only running the WCP and setting a new FKT, but also running back home on the Offa's Dyke Trail to set another FKT! Alan is a deep and contemplative man and it was a pleasure to speak to him. Check him and his running adventures out on @therunningmonkshropshire on Instagram and why not enter one of his trail races? @runningmonk_trail_eventsYou can also donate to his just giving page here:https://www.justgiving.com/team/alanswelshcoastalpathoffasdykechallenge?fbclid=PAAaYNurxvUlHR9lsUd7eDYyThGjTRDTi3DfK5Pc6xyWtOTZOJr7AMHuxeIfE_aem_AcSleQfsjDm5ni1irmpuyU_vylA3tT2JvXut0OxI9yVs8_FwasgEEYF2NL0o5it_WPA

Wedding venues should diversify their revenue streams to maximize earning potential. Here are six additional revenue stream ideas for your wedding venue: In-house bar: Offering a bar service at your wedding venue can generate considerable revenue. This revenue option has many responsibilities and additional liabilities, which must be considered. There are numerous ways to run a successful bar; as mentioned, it can provide a massive return. Accommodations: Consider adding onsite lodging to your wedding venue. Onsite lodging can be anything from cabins and cottages to tiny homes and rooms for guests to stay overnight.  Farm store: Consider opening a farm store if your wedding venue is rural or on a farm/ranch. Examples of things you can consider selling are retail goods, cottage products, anything that is small-batch, custom-branded gear, the list goes on. Wedding planning: Offering wedding planning services can be a great way to generate additional revenue. Most venues require, at minimum, that their couples hire Day of Coordination. Bringing this in-house is easy and effective at creating extra income, not to mention the benefits of marketing this inclusion.  Decor rentals: Many couples seek unique decor to make their weddings stand out. You can offer decor rentals at your venue, including everything from centerpieces to lighting to furniture. High-ticket Events: You can host educational conferences and workshops at your venue. This can range from industry-specific conferences to personal development workshops. Events generate high ticket sales and add another revenue stream for your wedding venue.   Get in touch with us!  On Instagram: @thevenuepodcast Lindsay: hello@thelindsaylucas.com Kinsey: kinsey@shecreatesbusinesspodcast.com
