Dr. Michelle Hite on Mothering While Black, Everyday Courage, and the Power of Telling the Truth What happens when the world sees your child as a threat before it sees them as human? What does it cost to raise a child while defending your right to grieve, to question, to be seen? This conversation centers the weight—and the wisdom—of mothering while Black. In this featured National Black Girl Month™ 2025 episode, we're joined by Dr. Michelle Hite, Spelman College professor, public scholar, and cultural critic whose work traces the intersections of Black identity, grief, and resistance. Together with co-host Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown, we examine what it means to mother, nurture, and protect in a world that wasn't built for our safety. This episode isn't about resilience. It's about truth-telling as a form of care. You'll hear: How cultural narratives, from Mamie Till to Toni Morrison, shape our understanding of motherhood Why public strength can't replace private witnessing The difference between independence and isolation—and why communal living is the lesson we keep returning to How everyday gestures become sacred acts of protection, memory, and joy Why sharing isn't a virtue. It's a practice. And we're out of practice. Whether you're a mother by birth, bond, or assignment, this conversation invites you to return to what you know: you don't have to do it alone.

Michelle Hite earned her Ph.D. from Emory University in American/African American Studies in 2009. Her dissertation used Venus and Serena Williams as subjects whose representation in popular media, books, videos, and other texts prompted her research questions regarding what their public portrayal might suggest about the intersection of race, gender, and nationalism during late capitalism.Although Dr. Hite remains deeply interested in sports, her intellectual work now focuses on African-American life, culture, and experience in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. To this end, she is currently working on a monograph about the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama on September 15, 1963.In addition to her work as an associate professor in the English department at Spelman, Dr. Hite is director of the Ethel Waddell Githii Honors Program and director of International Fellowships and Scholarships. #nationalblackgirlmonth

Buckle up, listeners. It was only a matter of time before our paths crossed with Mel Robbins, one of the most respected experts on change and motivation in the zeitgeist, and today is that day. Known for being the host of the #1 ranking education podcast in the world, bringing deeply relatable topics, tactical advice, tools, and compelling conversations to her audiences, Jen and Amy spend today's hour diving into Mel's “Let Them” theory, which is taking the world by storm, already delivering instant peace and freedom in the lives and relationships of people putting it into practice. Together, they discuss: The difference between “Let Them” and “Let Me” Learning to release the white-knuckle grip we hold over other people's behavior (and other things beyond our control) Reframing disappointment to view it as a gift (yes, it's possible!) Repositioning self-worth inward, rather than leaving it dependent on others' opinions. *** Thought-provoking Quotes: “For a lot of women, we spend so much time upstairs in our heads as people-pleasers and over-analyzers, over-thinking and ruminating, trying to get things perfect. That's the last place I should be, personally. I need to drop into my body and get out of my head.” – Mel Robbins “People reveal who they are and what they care about through their behavior. Ignore their words. Watch their behavior. Let people be who they are. Let them do what they're going to do. Focusing on them is not where your power is.” – Mel Robbins “The difference between ‘not my business' and ‘let them' is worlds apart. When you say, ‘not my business', you're scolding yourself. With, ‘let them', you're in the power position because you see what's happening and are choosing to allow it without allowing it. You're rising above it.” – Mel Robbins “There's something about learning that [people] aren't ever going to change but that doesn't mean your relationship can't change for the better. When you let them be who they are, you create space for acceptance, the whole energy shifts.” – Mel Robbins Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Demotivators - https://despair.com/collections/ Effin Birds on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/effinbirds/ Van Morrison - https://www.vanmorrison.com/ No Hard Feelings by the Avett Brothers - https://open.spotify.com/track/0bgQ1hQrpP6ScdBZlDfLE2 Foo Fighters - https://foofighters.com/ DePeche Mode - https://www.depechemode.com/ The Cure - https://www.thecure.com/ Taylor Swift - https://www.taylorswift.com/ The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/427OHwu The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/4hc53bE The Mel Robbins Podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast The Four Questions: For Henny Penny and Anybody with Stressful Thoughts by Byron Katie - https://amzn.to/3C7tKXT My Legacy Podcast - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-my-legacy-podcast-255793246/ Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - https://amzn.to/4ajbyaz Dr. Stuart Ablon - https://www.stuartablon.com/ The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson - https://amzn.to/3PCqxmi Guest's Links: Mel's website - https://www.melrobbins.com/ Mel's podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast Mel's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melrobbins/ Mel's Twitter - https://x.com/melrobbins Mel's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melrobbins Mel's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/melrobbins Mel's TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@melrobbins Connect with Jen!

Send us a text100,000 views in, and let's just say some unique people have wanted to be guests. But that's how I found Gina Gallaun—a woman who quit her job and took off around the world to interview women about everyday courage.Gina's first taste of courage? Swimming with her dad in the Atlantic of France, diving through terrifying waves to reach the calm, sunny water on the other side. That became her life metaphor: dive into what scares you; there's bliss on the other side. "What would life look like if you weren't afraid?" That question inspired her journal, Embrace Your Brave in 30 Days. Each day, it shares a story about life, family, work, or fitness with a prompt to turn that courage into action.One of my favorite stories asks, “What would you do if your worst fear actually happened?” Like the actress called out by a critic for her acne (yikes). Instead of hiding, she focused on what she loved about performing. Or the woman who'd been a bridesmaid thirty times (yes, 30) until she finally started asking herself some empowering questions and became Mrs. Right.Gina's takeaway? Courage is contagious—especially if you bring a “courage buddy” along. You never know what ripples your little brave steps might create.Know someone battling bravery for the driver's seat?

Welcome to Restoring the Soul! In this episode, Michael and Peter Zaremba explore the essence of courage, not as an absence of fear, but as the willingness to take intentional action amidst it. Peter brings to light the profound acts of everyday bravery witnessed within his men's group, intertwining their discussions with the biblical narrative that emphasizes the value of such courage.They also reveal that courage is woven into the small, everyday fabrics of our lives—be it through acts of vulnerability, trust, or the simple yet profound steps toward spiritual growth. Michael likens courage to a muscle that gets stronger with practice, a concept they both relate to the importance of being fully present, accepting the present moment as is, and taking life's meaningful risks.CONTACT RESTORING THE SOUL:- Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Michelle McCarthy is Global Vice President of Customer Experience at Unit4. In her role, Michelle leads a talented team of professionals, is responsible for ensuring the maximum adoption of and customer satisfaction with Unit4's offerings and is accountable for leading the transformation of Unit4's customer experience strategy that enables the customer success evolution.  Michelle earned her B.S in Marketing from Miami University in Ohio, and her Executive MBA in Global Management from Fordham University in New York.   Questions •  We always give our guests an opportunity to share a little bit about their journey. So, if you could take a few minutes to kind of just share with our audience a little bit about how you got to where you are today. •  So, Unit4, could you share with our audience a little bit about what Unit4is? What do you guys do? •  KPIs in terms of like NPS and customer satisfaction score. A lot of organisations also invest into market research, particularly like mystery shopping, and the mystery shopping sometimes will capture the NPS. What are your views on the frequency of doing these types of activities? And do you think it's critical to be doing it post transactional? Or should it be more so a conversation that you have with the client, maybe at the end of every quarter? What are some of your best practices that you'd recommend to clients? •  If you really want to focus on dominating, navigating that CX space in such a positive way, that your brand has an exceptionally positive reputation, what are some key indicators that you believe organisations need to focus on as we go into 2024? Where do they need to be giving their attention to? •  Now, could you also share with us what is the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? •  Could you also share with us maybe one or two books that you've read, it could be a book that you read a very long time ago, or even one that you've read recently that has had a great impact on you? •  We have a lot of listeners who are business owners and managers who feel they have great products and services. But they lack the human capital that has that constant motivation, what's the one piece of advice that you'd give them to have a successful business having that consistent challenge that they're experiencing? •  Could you also share with us what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about? Either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. •  Where can listeners find you online? •  Now, before we wrap our episodes up, we always like to ask our guests, do you have a quote or a saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you will tend to revert to this quote, it kind of helps to get you back on track if for any reason you got derailed, or you got off track, just reminding yourself about that quote will kind of help to get you back on track, help you to get more focused. Do you have one of those?  Highlights  Michelle's Journey Michelle stated that she started off her career and kind of more of the traditional marketing, b2c and b2b type roles on the client side. And started in the advertising agency space, worked for a number of different retailers and brands, and eventually had kind of rounded out her experience and wanted to move into more of the tech side of things.  She had some opportunities to go and work on the SaaS side of the business for a company called Vibes, which is a mobile marketing technology company. And through that experience, and kind of rounding out her mobile marketing experience, she was able to kind of continue her career path then into other SaaS organisations. And so, by herself, here today, very excited to be talking with you (Yanique).   Tell Us About Unit4 Me: So, Unit4, could you share with our audience a little bit about what Unit4is? What do you guys do? Michelle shared that Unit4 is a cloud leader, really in the enterprise software space for midmarket, people centred organisations. And so, their solutions span everything from enterprise resource planning to financial planning and analysis tools, as well as procurement, project management for professional services organizations and so forth, as well as human capital management.  So, their solutions really bring together all those various capabilities around financials, procurement, project management, HR, into one unified and cloud platform through their ERPX solution. So yeah, that's a little bit about Unit4. Me: Quite a mouthful. So, at Unit4, a big part of what you focus on, we kind of alluded to it a bit before we started the official recording, how is it that you are able to improve CX by embracing customer centricity as a core value? And of course, there are some KPIs that you need to measure, so that's your area of expertise. So, could you share a little bit about that with our audience? Michelle stated that she really believes that organizations need to always be looking how they stand out from the crowd, right. In order to do that, we have to find better ways to address customer needs, and make sure that we're providing value and attainable outcomes. We need business experience that extends past traditional customer touchpoints and make sure that we're always looking at ways that we can influence product innovation, we need to look at the employee experience, because employee experience really translates to that of the customer experience. And we need to make sure that also aligns with our customers organization serves their purpose and our values.  So, one of the first steps in improving customer experience is really looking for a top down buy in across customer centricity and putting that at the heart of everything that you do in your business. So, whatever role you serve in the organization, that some way touches the end customer.  And so, customer companies need to really be making sure that they're measuring customer centric KPIs in order to determine how are we doing? And how are our customers feeling about us? So, we always want to look at how well we're looking at gaining new customers into the business, how are we growing the existing base of customers that we have? And how are we ultimately retaining the customers that we have to make sure that they're becoming long term champions of our business through the success that they've achieved together in partnership with us?  To kind of delve a little bit more into some of the KPIs, a couple of the things that we might look at are things like Net Promoter Score. So, looking at that kind of scale of 0 to 10 on how likely a customer is to recommend your company to a peer or colleague, looking at things like Customer Satisfaction Scores and making sure that those are kind of sprinkled all throughout the key listening posts of our customers.   So, wherever they are engaging with us, whether that's post sales, or that's post implementation, or that's post a business review that we've had with them, we want to make sure that we're always facilitating, and asking for their feedback and making sure that we are taking that, capturing that feedback and looping back to set proper expectations with customers.   Recommended Frequency of Market Research Activities   Me: So, I'm glad you talked about KPIs in terms of like NPS and Customer Satisfaction Score. A lot of organisations also invest millions of dollars, sometimes even billions into market research, particularly like mystery shopping, and the mystery shopping sometimes will capture the NPS. What are your views on the frequency of doing these types of activities? And do you think it's critical to be doing it post transactional? Or should it be more so a conversation that you have with the client, maybe at the end of every quarter? What are some of your best practices that you'd recommend to clients?  Michelle stated that frequency and cadence is definitely key, depending on the types of engagements, you want to make sure that they're throughout the customer's journey at the appropriate time. So, if you have a new customer that's joined, one of the things she mentioned is post sale, you have a customer that's gone through potentially a lengthy sales process with you, how did they find working across the organization, that's a great time for you to kind of see how the beginning part of their journey into implementation will go.  Then you may also want to survey a customer as they're coming out of an implementation with you. So, after they've worked with the project management teams and met their CSM, how is that work stream going? It's also key to mention business reviews. We may do quarterly business reviews with some of our customers. And so, making sure to take stock coming out of those meetings, what was the expectation? Did they see, hear, feel everything that they were expecting to have?   And so, she thinks it's a real combination of both the quantitative surveys, but also those qualitative conversations to probe a bit deeper, where you may not have the opportunity, and just a quick plug in one question or two questions survey that sent via email. Having that face-to-face dialogue, or that phone call or that Zoom video just to meet with a customer and kind of ask some more of those probing questions is definitely key.  She thinks that that is just as important during the beginning and middle phases of the journey with a customer as it is when you're coming up on renewal, so you may be looking at certain health indicators and want to also probe a bit deeper on some of those with customers, “Hey, you know, I've seen that you're expanding in your licences, tell me about how your company is utilizing those?”  Or conversely, you might have a customer that's decided to move away from a portion of your product, “Tell me a bit more about why it is that you're leaving there, what you weren't adopting or finding useful, so that we can learn and bring that back into the business.”   It also helps us from a churn management perspective, make sure that we are thinking about that and building that back into our way that we look at risk and mitigating risks with our customers.    Key Indicators that Organizations Need to Focus On for 2024  Me: So, many different avenues and strategies that we can employ to ensure that we're doing the right kind of measurement. So, we are now in I would say, we're at the end of 2023. And we're embarking on 2024 and a lot has happened in the last couple of years, especially with a global pandemic and all, what are some key things that you found, trends that you've maybe seen just in your own business, as well as with your clients' businesses that you believe if you really want to focus on dominating, navigating that CX space in such a positive way, that your brand has an exceptionally positive reputation and you have so many brand advertisers and evangelists for your business. What are some key indicators that you believe organizations need to focus on as we go into 2024? Where do they need to be giving their attention to?  Michelle stated that she thinks that there's always a focus around personalization of an experience and how you can help customers throughout their journey to better smooth areas that potentially create bumps for them, can that happen through automation, Chat GPT? Can that help it happen through other self-service capabilities that you can serve up to them?  And she also thinks probably goes without being said but ensuring that expectations of customers are properly managed all throughout.  Making sure that you're always having dialogue with the customers' needs in mind, that you're addressing pain points and the more and more that you can address those pain points through self-service, automation, ways that they can just make sure that they are able to get a quick path to value is really key, that frictionless experience for customers.   App, Website or Tool that Michelle Absolutely Can't Live Without in Her Business When asked about online resource that she cannot live without in her business, Michelle stated that for her, obviously Microsoft Teams, they use day in and day out in their business to communicate with their customers, to communicate with their teams internally.  But one other, she would say tool that they use heavily within the customer success management space, is Gainsight. And that is a tool that allows them to bring so much knowledge and power into their organisation. It allows their CSMs to know what right move to make next in terms of how to engage both internally and externally with their customers.  And it's becoming really more and more of a theatre of having a true customer 360 within their organization, so really, that single pane of glass view, if you will, of what their customers are experiencing. And so, if she had to pick one tool, she guesses she'd picked Gainsight because they're using it day in and day out and it's been really paramount to their success.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Michelle When asked about books that has had an impact, Michelle shared that one book that she did read, it's been a very long time ago. But it was Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. She read that during her graduate school programme. And despite that, it's been around for ages, she thinks it really does a great job of cutting to the core of how you can set yourself up to best relate with others through the power of being able to build strong relationships, and making sure that those relationships are built on like a mutual trust and credibility. So, she thinks that that is always relevant, no matter what role you're in, how do you build relationships? How do you help drive influence? So, that's just been a really meaningful book to her throughout the course of her career.  One other thing she was going to add is that she listens to a number of different podcasts, perhaps different than books. But one podcast that she really enjoys is Mel Robbins Podcast, because she thinks she teaches a lot of both professional and personal habits that you can apply to everyday life, how you can really make sure that you're leading a productive and happy lifestyle and that you have that good work life balance. So, if you haven't checked Mel Robbins out, her podcast is great. Me: Two excellent recommendations, Michelle. I totally agree with you about Dale Carnegie's book, the book came out in 1933, literally, many, many years ago, almost 100 years old. But the principles and concepts in that book are still relevant today. And I do listen to Mel's podcasts, and I follow her on most of her social media platforms, love her content. So, excellent recommendations for audience.     Advice for Business Owners and Managers Who Have Great Products and Services but Lack the Constantly Motivated Human Capital  Me: Now, we have a lot of listeners who are business owners and managers who feel they have great products and services. But sometimes they feel like they have constantly demotivated human capital, they lack the human capital that has that constant motivation. And motivation is one of those behaviours or competencies that comes from within, you can encourage it, but you can't actually evoke it or make it happen. So, if you were sitting across the table from that person, those business owners or managers today, what's the one piece of advice that you'd give them to have a successful business having that consistent challenge that they're experiencing? When asked about advice she would give for the lack motivated human capital, Michelle shared that she thinks one of the most important things for her in terms of motivation is always trying to understand from a customer perspective, what it is that they're trying to achieve, because she thinks she gets a lot of motivation out of helping others. And she thinks when you feel like you have a true understanding of the problems that you're trying to solve, what tools you have at your disposal, and you feel like you can harness that power to find a way for those customers to excel and to drive outcomes in their business, that's extremely motivating to her.  Everybody and perhaps new business owners or business owners, she really likes the idea of kind of starting before you're ready, everything has a beginning, right. And it's not going to be perfect, but she thinks the more and more you practice, and the more and more you get into the rhythm, you find that you figure your way through, everything is kind of easy to figureoutable. So, she likes the idea of kind of just starting things before maybe you feel like you've got it completely figured out and reframing things kind of as you work through them. So, that's kind of how she works through times of adversity or new skill sets she needs to kind of build rapidly and that's worked well for her.   What Michelle is Really Excited About Now! When asked about something that she's really excited about, Michelle shared that back over the beginning of the summer, they had a in person leadership seminar that they had done as a leadership team going through kind of the Clifton Strength Finders exercise. And she's done all sorts of disc assessments and different things throughout the course of her career, but she really found that particular assessment very valuable. And for those of the listeners that might not be familiar, it's basically an online assessment you can take, takes about 20-30 minutes. And when you go through it, it ranks your top 5, top 10 and kind of, they call them all 34 of them strengths.  And then you kind of understand where you can lean into a bit more as a leader. And by sharing it with your peers, you can really get a sense of how other people learn, how they like to communicate, how you give and receive feedback. And so, she actually liked that so much within their leadership conversations, she's cascaded that down with her direct reports. And they've had some very, very good conversations about that, she thinks she's just uncovered ways of working with people that she wouldn't have necessarily known.  And it also helps from a leadership perspective, and she thinks managing perspective, understand more the types of skills that people have, the types of things that are motivation factors for them, so that you can really make the most impact of your team. Her top strength coming out of that was individualization, which basically is your ability to kind of take a survey across the landscape and understand which individuals that are best suited for which areas and how to best pull out the different strengths of people you work with.  And so, it was eye opening to see some of the things she might have thought she would have scored higher on versus those that she perhaps has some developmental opportunities with. So, if people haven't taken that, she would highly encourage it, she found it extremely valuable. And she knows her team enjoyed the conversations that they had off the back of the exercise.   Where Can We Find Michelle Online LinkedIn: Michelle McCarthy   Website: https://www.unit4.com/   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Michelle Uses  When asked about a quote or saying that she tend to revert to during times of adversity or challenge, Michelle stated that she thinks one of the things from Mel Robbins and it's not necessarily a quote, but she has The 5 Second Rule and one of the things she has been trying to do whenever she feels like she's getting off track, or maybe you start to go down a negative path is just to say yourself, “5, 4, 3, 2, 1” and then launch yourself into doing what you next need to do. So, that's from her book The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage, Mel Robbins. But she's really been trying to use that to break habits and people use it to get themselves out of bed in the morning, from going down a negative path.  So, the other one that she would say she really like, and it's from John Maxwell is, “A leader knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.” And she thinks that's so powerful to remember, it's not just about kind of saying the vision, but it's also about walking the talk. So, she'll leave us with that. Me: Amazing. Thank you so much, Michelle. Now, Michelle, we just want to express our deepest gratitude to you for taking time out of your very busy schedule to kind of hop on this podcast and share with our audience a little bit about your journey, how you got to where you are today, why it is important to ensure that you're measuring for the right things as it relates to improving CX in your business and of course embracing customer centricity as a core value. And then looking at also the frequency of how you do those measurements, and what kind of things you really need to be targeting and focused on at different periods of your business to ensure that you're really delivering on the expectations of your customers and of course, aiming to exceed those expectations to create that long lasting relationship.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 575 What is procrastination driven by? Is it laziness or fear? Rob Dial, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 575, to teach you why you need to seek inspiration over motivation to get things done, how to stop procrastinating, why it's important to follow what gives you energy, and why every day should be a good day to die.  "Motivation is like a spark on a fire. Drive and inspiration are the big old wood that's dried out that burns all night long. The difference is that you can see someone motivated to try to change their life. But when you see someone who's inspired or driven, it's in their eyes and you can get that sense that they're not stopping. They will either do it or they'll die trying." - Rob Dial Live Life Well from Sunrise to Sunset Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Superfoods brand, ORGANIFI, including their Sunrise to Sunset Bundle and their Women's Power Stack that includes HARMONY + GLOW for true hormonal balance and great health radiating through your beautiful skin.

But when you do something that is in alignment with the universe, the universe will give you the energy." - Rob Dial Ask Yourself WHY? "Most people don't take a step back and ask themselves "Why do I want this thing? Do I just want it to make money?" If you just want it to make money, you could do that if you want. But if you want it because you want to serve others, which is a much easier way to drive yourself to get stuff done and take action - if you're trying to do it for other people. When it's self-serving, it will last a little while but eventually the spark will die." - Rob Dial Bodily Programming Based on Our Past "You'll feel something before you think it. Our body is programmed based off of everything that has happened to us in the past. Normally, what happens is that you feel something first and then your brain tries to catch up. You usually feel fear before you notice the thought. There's an unconscious thought that comes first, then the body responds to it, then the conscious mind notices it." - Rob Dial Identity + Actions + Results "Identity goes into actions, actions go into results, results go back into identity. You have to question who is it that you are. You take either an action that's going to get you towards where you want to go or you're going to get your action to take you further away from where you want to go. And that's going to feed back into your identity." - Rob Dial Links From Today's Show  Rob Dial The Mindset Mentor Podcast Level Up: How to Get Focused, Stop Procrastinating, and Upgrade Your Life by Rob Dial Hal Elrod Alan Watts 369 Paul Chek: All Is God | Part 1 of 3 461 Dr. Wendy Myers | Emotional Detox: Is Perfectionism From Trauma Causing Your Health Issues?

So, today I was talking to one of my writing clients, who is a therapist and I was actually audacious enough to suggest a tool to help her get through her block about writing her query letter and synopsis, both part of a writer's proposal package or submission package when they query agents in the quest to be traditionally published. And this tool, basically comes from Mel Robbins, who is an author, podcaster, and speaker. And, um, apparently the #1 education podcast in the world even though, um, I had never heard of her. Cough. Don't judge, Shaun. She's also very good at self marketing and is considered a self-publishing phenom and is pretty cute, which means she has a ton of photos of herself on her website. So, basically the opposite of us except Shaun is cute. Anyway, enough preamble, she suggests, no insists, that people have a morning routine. It can be five minutes. It can be an hour. Within this morning routine, you want to focus on an actionable step and nothing else for 15 minutes. During this time, you want to write down your goals, but you actually have to do this big second step, which is imagining yourself taking the steps to get there. According to Robbins, you visualize the steps to get to that end goal and the third step is to imagine and feel the emotions that are connected to each step. Pride? Excitement? Joy? Get all of them in there. This is similar to Simon Sinek's who says to go after the things that you want, he tells the story of hiself and a friend going out for bagels. See the thing that you want. Or see the thing that prevents you from getting what you want. When you go after what you want, he stresses, you don't want to get in the way of other people's wants. Bas Korsten wrote for Harvard Business Review, “Think about it. Great athletes train their bodies for days, weeks, and years to whip them into peak performance. Why, then, wouldn't a creator do the same with their brain?” A.J. Adam writes about the science behind visualization for Psychology Today, “For instance, in his study on everyday people, Guang Yue, an exercise psychologist from Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, compared results of those who did physical exercises to the results of those who carried out virtual workouts in their heads. In the physical exercise group, finger abduction strength increased by 53%. In the group that did "mental contractions", their finger abduction strength increased by 35%. However, "the greatest gain (40%) was not achieved until 4 weeks after the training had ended" (Ranganathan et al., 2004). This demonstrates the mind's incredible power over the body and its muscles.” Ideas come. They come all the time, right? But the thing is that you have to imagine those ideas, practice what it feels like do them, and then have the energy to get off your bum, get out of bed, get out of your chair and actually do those ideas. DOG TIP FOR LIFE For any change to happen, you have to activate your energy. Be like Pogie. Activate all the energy.

For the occasion of International Women's Day, I want to celebrate with you all the virtue of Courage. The courage to be ourselves, the courage to change our lives when something is not right, the courage to listen to ourselves and to respect our needs, first. A month ago, I did something I was really afraid to do: tell a personal story on stage. The story you are about to hear is a performance I gave on stage at The Bear, a Berlin storytelling event with up to 100 people in the audience. You get up onstage, no notes, and tell a story that is related to a theme (on this evening, it was 'Work'). The more vulnerable you are, the more powerful the story ends up becoming. I really wanted to do it because I felt I had something to tell. I was afraid because I thought I was not capable of doing it. I thought I would panic on stage and fail. But what I usually do when I face a fearful situation, I dive into it. Because I know I will grow from this, I will learn, even if it is scary. I hope you will enjoy this special story, that will inspire you to do something daring and fun today, too. For yourself. Happy International Women's Day!

With the start of a new year, there's always talk of new year's resolutions. But does anyone else relate to the disappointment we feel when we almost inevitably fail to reach all those goals? Maybe it's because we don't have the right plan to make change possible. Mel Robbins is on a mission to share proven tools that empower you to create a better life. As a mom of three who hit rock bottom and nearly lost everything, today she's one of the most respected experts on change. In today's clip, she explains what she calls “the stupidest hack” to step into the person you truly want to be. Show links: Watch the full clip. Learn more at melrobbins.com.

In this episode we had the amazing opportunity to talk with Sarah Caldwell.Sarah is a psychotherapist with an online practice based out of Park City, Utah. Sarah helps motivated individuals find relief from anxiety, relationship issues and career stress through individual therapy. Sarah shares with us the importance of living into your values when making decisions, overcoming anxiety and stepping into courage. She talks about how easily we can be lead astray because we are community oriented humans. It is important for us to recognize and be present so that we can define what are values are in the moment and thus better understand what is driving us to do what we do and react how we react. It is important to understand the value that we are holding onto in different situations so that you can respond instead of react. Knowing your values makes it easier to not only  move into growth and courage, but these values keep you on track and driven to push through the discomfort.Sarah also mentions the benefit of starting small with growth or courageous steps. She says that it is also important to look back at your own life and see if there are similar moments from your past that can help you stay motivated as you re-witness your past successes. Having people to celebrate and support you is incredibly valuable too. Sarah shares that there is a really good power pose that can help with feeling more powerful and confident  (sometimes referred to as the superhero pose) where feet are hips width and arms are on the hips, standing tall and the chin is lifted. This pose tells your mind that you are ready for anything. It also lowers cortisol and gently raises testosterone in the body. Magic. We also talk about the fact that it takes courage to reach out for help and be vulnerable that space. This is a beautiful way to demonstrate self love. You are prioritizing your mental health which is fundamental to being.

By 2018, Jason Kander had already served in Afghanistan, been elected to the Missouri State Legislature, and become Missouri Secretary of State. The logical next step: a 2020 presidential campaign.  Instead, Jason took the political world by surprise and chose to run for mayor of Kansas City, near his hometown of Shawnee, Kansas.  Despite a successful early campaign, Jason made another shocking decision: to end his candidacy, take a break from the public eye, and spend eight months receiving treatment for the PTSD he brought back from Afghanistan.  Today, he joins me to talk about how therapy helped him deal with the trauma he endured during his service, how the U.S. must change the way it takes care of its veterans, and more.   “One of the big things that I worked through in therapy was … this sense that I hadn't done enough. I mean, it was just this constant refrain because I had friends who had been hurt physically. I had plenty of friends who had been overseas longer than me. So I had this real sense that I had not done enough and it drove me for a very long time. And what I realize now is that I actually have done quite a lot and I have done enough. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna do more for my country, but it won't be because I feel I have to, or I owe it. It'll be because that's what I want to do.” – Jason (07:34)   Jason discussed coming to terms with his PTSD diagnosis after more than a decade, and how his diagnosis provided not only validation, but a way forward.    “When I was diagnosed with PTSD, it happened after me really coming to terms with the idea that I had PTSD. So when I was finally diagnosed, you know, I had spent almost 11 years being like, that's not what this is. And then that became like, it's not what this is. I didn't earn that. So that's just something wrong with me. I'm just this way. And then it was very hard and very difficult for me to accept the idea that this was PTSD. So then after I'd gone through that, then to be diagnosed was validating for me. … but I think even more than the validation that it provided to me was the clarity, you know, the idea of like, because once you say like, okay, for sure that's what this is, then it does feel a little like, okay, so now I know what to do.” – Jason (09:08)   In This Episode (01:13) Jason's path to joining the military  (02:49) Learning to help others by example (04:30) Choosing the Army (07:34) Trauma, therapy, and survivor's guilt (09:08) Coming to terms with PTSD (12:40) Recovery in the public eye (19:48) Will the U.S. change the way it takes care of our veterans?  (32:34) The case for foreign aid  (47:15) Writing Invisible Storm   Our Guest Jason Kander served in Afghanistan as an Army Captain before being elected to the Missouri State Legislature in 2008 and becoming Missouri Secretary of State in 2012.  Currently, Jason is the President of the National Expansion at Veterans Community Project, a non-profit dedicated to preventing suicide and homelessness among veterans.  He is the author of two books, Outside the Wire: Ten Lessons I've Learned in Everyday Courage, and Invisible Storm: A Soldier's Memoir of Politics and PTSD.   Resources & Links Off The Cuff https://www.offthecuff.fm/ https://www.youtube.com/c/OffTheCuffwithDannyLoPriore https://www.instagram.com/1and1otc/ https://www.instagram.com/dannylopriore/ Jason Kander https://www.jasonkander.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jasonkander/ https://www.facebook.com/jasonkander https://twitter.com/JasonKander https://www.wondermedianetwork.com/originals/majority-54

This week, Dan Neumann is joined by Phillip Lisenba, who recently joined the Agile Thought Team.   In this episode, Dan and Phillip are exploring how Agile ways could be applied to the home setting. The heart and soul of Agile can be used to achieve goals efficiently not only on a professional level but also at home in our personal lives. Listen to this episode to find many tips to reach your personal objectives with less effort!   Key Takeaways First, make a list (without the things you do on daily basis). Include the small, medium, and bigger things that you need to do. Keep it simple! You can do it on paper or digitally, and get creative in finding something that works for you. Organize your tasks by priority, what creates more value for your family should go first. Everybody's list is going to be different. Top ten tips to make your list: Create a list of things to do. Prioritize them. Break large projects into small tasks. Create a sense of urgency. Do something every day. Set a timebox for the work. Review the master list daily and reprioritize. Review your process and change as needed. Have fun with the work and process. Reward yourself. Eight Agile Tips to use at home: Tell yourself you can do hard things. Don't schedule regular daily activities unless you are creating a daily habit. After 30 days, once the daily habit is a habit, you can stop scheduling it. Take a break when frustration starts. Keep a record of what you have accomplished. Reward yourself for each day's accomplishments. Reward yourself for large accomplishments. Make the most important thing the most important thing! Remember to be flexible' sometimes you have to pivot when challenges appear in order to keep moving forward. Consider changing your methods when they are no longer effective.   Mentioned in this Episode: The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage, by Mel Robbins   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

We often dream up our businesses based on a passion or an innate talent, only to realize afterward that we're neck-deep in back-end details for which we're not prepared. Enter Brittany Dixon, organizer extraordinaire. A productivity coach and host of The Productivity Podcast, she is on a mission to help creative business owners work smarter, not harder! On this episode of Teacher Turned Entrepreneur we are learning how Brittany found her calling and the systems she has put in place to support her own successful business – systems she's sharing with others through her group and one-to-one coaching, courses, podcast and growing community. The goal is simple: To create support systems that free us up to stay in the “zone of genius.” You'll learn from Brittany some concrete tips for identifying process breakdowns, optimizing through automation and outsourcing essential functions as you scale. If your entrepreneurial dreams are being slowed down by common stumbling blocks like digital clutter, difficulty with time management or back-end admin processes then this is the conversation for you! It's all about quieting the noise so you can focus on what fuels your best ideas and clearest thoughts. With tools like her BCO Method and ROAD to Scalability, Brittany brings actionable frameworks that will resonate with any entrepreneur tempted to say “yes” to everything only to be left scrambling to keep up with all the moving parts that result! Getting organized needn't be overwhelming, thanks to Brittany's step-by-step approach. “We've got some pretty well-oiled systems in place,” she says, “and once you've got those systems in place you don't need as many people to manage it.” Want to learn more about Brittany and the tools, templates and accountability she provides? Check out this link for her Productivity Community and much more. Click here to listen to, rate and review this or previous Teacher Turned Entrepreneur episodes. Here are key takeaways from the conversation:· Never discount side hustles – whose momentum often turns them into the main event!· Have you identified your Superpower? Everyone has one and it's the natural point of entry for would-be entrepreneurs looking to leverage their innate talents!· Stay focused on the big picture! It's easy to get overwhelmed with the day-to-day, so why not let an expert establish systems and expedite your basic back-end processes?· It's okay to say no. When it comes to our businesses, every opportunity can be exciting but additional, time-consuming back-end management has to be factored in.· Calendar everything! That means family/self-care priorities as well as business imperatives and daily routines that keep the whole life-work enterprise afloat.· Digital Clutter doesn't develop into a problem overnight – nor can it be magically erased! It takes time and a strategy.· Less is More: Having a structure for online folders is important, but keep it simple and manageable. An over-engineered system can defeat the purpose and prevent filing.· Hiring contractors is easier than ever! So consider keeping it simple by outsourcing rather than scaling full-time staff.· Before considering automation, be sure that your processes are operating smoothly. When you automate broken pieces, you're creating broken systems. Here's a quick look into the episode:· As so often is the case, Brittany got active as an entrepreneur after she was let go from her 9-to-5 – “best thing that ever happened.” She was working in the catering and event space with young twin girls when she decided to add a side hustle as a home organizer that in the course of a year turned into her full-time gig.· After reading "Ordinary Superpowers: Unleash the Full Potential of Your Most Natural Talents," Brittany realized that her “little” side hustle had tremendous potential!· From its inception in 2017, Brittany's business has grown exponentially based on her ever deeper understanding of the “back end stuff” that was keeping online businesses, consultants, coaches and others from growing their enterprises.· The kinds of things Brittany helps clients figure out:o Time management.o Productivity.o Email and digital file organization.o Client onboarding.o Assembling and running a team.· Brittany works with her clients via:o Her Productivity Podcast.o Her Productivity Pod community.o Group coaching through her Hustle to Flow program, including materials and group calls.o One-to-one coaching/consulting that pinpoints and overhauls business pain points.· The things that tend to be the biggest client stumbling blocks:o Time management is a consistent baseline issue because of all the moving parts.o Client processes: Ensuring smooth onboarding, offboarding and overall management of relationships. o Digital Clutter: Cutting through the avalanche of data coming in and going out.· Brittany's Top Tips for Mapping Effective Time Management Systems:o Lifestyle By Design: What are your goals for family time? Figure out commitments to kids, spouse, self-care, then put then on the calendar!o Business By Design: You can't say yes to everything. Beyond the things you want to do are all the ancillary functions that also require time and attention – things like marketing, admin, back-end email management require scheduling.o Routines By Design: Establishing personal best practices sets you up for flow and rhythm in all realms. So calendar your priorities, then stick to them!· For Digital Clutter, which is a scourge familiar to all entrepreneurs, Brittany deploys her BCO Framework to manage files, time blocking, strategy and other functions:o Business Development: How you're growing the business.o Client Services: Everything you're providing your customer base.o Operations: All the admin that supports the whole enterprise.· Strategies for cleaning up BCO backlogs and data:o Set up a folder structure and start dragging files where they need to be.o Sort different functions into categories that make the big picture clearer.o Beware: Don't overwhelm yourself with too many sub-file folders!· How Brittany runs her own business:o She has only contractors; not FTEs and no plans to onboard any.o An online business manager keeps Brittany on track with strategy and processes.o A podcast manager takes care of her production and support.o A bookkeeper takes care of accounting.o A booker promotes Brittany's appearances as a podcast guest.· About Brittany's ROAD to Scalability:o Recognize: Evaluate what's working and what isn't.o Optimize: Ensure that systems offer ROI, are standardized and streamlined.o Automation: Are the tasks you do on a routine basis integrated into systems?o Documentation: Keep roadmaps for back-end processes that anyone who joins the team can easily follow or replicate.· Brittany's Recommended Reading:"Ordinary Superpowers: Unleash the Full Potential of Your Most Natural Talents," by Mark Henson.o "The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage," by Mel Robbins.

Last month was financial literacy month and believe it or not, we're fast approaching summertime, so I have books and learning on the brain this month. I decided to dedicate the month of May to various personal finance or self-help books that I thought would make great books to add to your current or summer reading lists.  Kicking off the month is my friend, Jillian Johnsrud, host of the Everyday Courage podcast and author of the book, “Fire the Haters: Finding the Courage to Create Online in a Critical World,” a book that helps creatives and entrepreneurs share their best work with the world. She joins me to talk about why she wrote the book and how we can apply the lessons in the book to our online interactions.  For more information, visit the show notes at https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode419

82 – Gain Everyday Courage https://smallstepspod.com/?p=3131 What is Courage? – We need the courage to act on the things we want. But we often think we do not deserve what we want or don’t have the skills to get our goals. People do not believe they should get what they want and it is all out of a lack of courage. In the end people do not act because they are brave but true courage is acting when you are not brave. Don’t be an enemy to yourself If you won’t be your own cheerleader, no one will.. Give Your Brain a New Story – Make the burden of your tasks easier by telling your brain that you aren’t afraid to do any action but instead you are excited to get your goal. It is important to get over stress and fear because it is damaging to your health more than any other reason. But it also keeps you from what you want and the relationships you wish to have in your life. Give yourself an “anchor statement” which holds you to the goals and dreams you have but are afraid to reach out and take it. Everyday Courage – If you can learn the skill of being courageous it will follow you your whole life and help you get any goal. Courage Improves Relationships – When you are afraid in life it keeps you from other people. It can lead you to be angrier with others or even unable to get close to others. When we have confidence, we can have better relationships and let other people see the real version of us. It's Not a Type of Person – Courage doesn’t have a type. It isn’t about a trait you are born with. You can have courage regardless of your other personality traits. Challenge Try to find one way this week that you can be courageous about something that you have not felt courageous about. Getting on a plane is a little hard because that takes some planning some tickets. But maybe it's about talking to someone you needed to talk to. Or maybe it's about sending a resume to someone you wanted to send a resume to, or maybe talking to someone at work about something that's been bothering you. Try to get that courage to do something bold and figure out what it is that was stopping you all this time and see if you can reframe it into a new story. I'm not scared to talk to my boss. I'm excited about the opportunities it will provide. Links https://melrobbins.com/5secondrule/

In this episode, I describe how people spend more time getting ready to take action than doing what they want to start. To get going, they literally get stuck getting ready, to get set, to get going. All the while, minutes turn in to days, days turn into weeks, and weeks turn into a really long time of preparing to get started. Without starting there's no progress. Without progress there's no momentum. Without momentum, time is working against you. Because of this, I share a proven method that will help you get passed getting ready and blast off like a rocket ship.

Is Knowledge Really Power?: What good is knowing things if you don't do anything with it? This episode starts with Napoleon Hill's perspective about the saying “knowledge is power.” Afterwards, I describe the meaning of personal power and give two practices to help you keep it. E56. Improve Your Happiness With These Practices: What is your definition of the word happiness? Common misconceptions people have about being happy is that it's something that comes from an external source like a trophy or an award. It's actually a state of mind, or a state of being, and somehow, it's turned into something else. In this episode, I describe two different practices that will contribute to your overall happiness starting today. E59. How To Adapt At The Speed Of Change: The one constant in life is change. You can count on it with 100% certainty. So, if change is inevitable, what do you believe would be the key to you reaching your definition of success or fulfillment… and keeping it? In this episode, I discuss three ways people are measured to determine their ability to perform in life (IQ, EQ, and AQ). Then, I zero in on the one that I believe is the most important when it comes to adapting to change, and I wrap things up by sharing a method becoming someone who can easily adapt at the rate of change in a rapidly evolving world.
