In this powerful and honest conversation, communication coach and author Arnie Buss shares how his own marriage nearly ended in divorce before one life-changing class transformed everything. After decades of repeating the same unresolved arguments, Arnie discovered that the problem wasn't a lack of love. It was a lack of effective communication skills.Arnie explains how learning to truly listen by what he calls “tracking” helped him move from trying to be right to becoming curious about his wife's perspective. That shift not only restored peace in their relationship but led to a renewed marriage that is now approaching 45 years.You'll learn:Why “never make anyone wrong” changes everythingThe difference between hearing words and hearing the messageWhy feelings are always true—even when beliefs may not beHow childhood patterns show up in adult conflictWhy communication skills often fail when emotions are highA simple way to express your needs without creating defensivenessArnie also shares how these skills have helped reconcile estranged family members and save struggling marriages.If you've ever felt stuck in the same argument on repeat, this episode will give you practical, hopeful tools to begin again.Enjoy this free resource from Arnie: https://aware-heart.mykajabi.com/download-stop-arguingYou can find out more about Arnie's work at arniebuss.com

In this episode, host Ashley sits down with Nikki Weiss- digital thanatologist, project manager, and founder of Endevo, for a candid, eye-opening conversation about the intersection of caregiving, death planning, and our increasingly digital lives. Nikki brings not just professional expertise, but hard-won personal experience: she lost her father at 11, became her mother's primary caregiver at 21, later cared for her grandmother through dementia, and is now supporting her daughter as she navigates a caregiving role for her fiancé, diagnosed with stage four brain cancer.Together, they tackle the questions most families avoid and make the case for why starting the conversation early isn't morbid; it's one of the most loving things you can do.In This EpisodeWhat thanatology is and why the "digital" specialization matters more than everNikki's personal caregiving journey: losing both parents young and what that shaped in herThe "panini generation" why today's sandwich generation feels more squeezed than everWhy most caregivers wait until crisis to plan and the real cost of that delayThe project management approach to end-of-life planning: de-emotionalizing the process so families can actually do itHow to build a caregiving community instead of letting one person absorb everythingThe "silver wave" of late-life divorce and what it means for adult childrenDigital legacy: what happens to your phone, social media, subscriptions, and photos after you're goneGrief bots, digital avatars, and QR codes on headstones the emerging world of digital memorializationWhy you need a Digital Legacy Advance Directive alongside your will and medical POAThe Final Playbook: Nikki's framework for building a comprehensive end-of-life planKey Quotes"Live fully, die ready.

Over 80% of people quit their New Year's goals before mid-February.Why?It's not a lack of desire.It's not a lack of talent.It's a lack of discipline.In today's episode of the Loveall Sales Podcast, I break down why discipline — not motivation — is the true separator in automotive sales and in life.If you want to sell:20, 30, even 50+ cars a monthMake $20K, $30K, $50K+ monthsBuild real financial freedomMaster prospecting and pipeline controlThen you have to stop talking and start doing.I share:Why salespeople waste 4+ hours per day without realizing itThe math behind your monthly production (and the 100+ hidden hours you're not using)How discipline fuels prospectingWhy most pipelines stay emptyThe “Talker vs Doer” mindset shiftHow writing daily goals changes everythingThe real story behind walking away from dealership income to build something biggerThis episode is a wake-up call.If you say you're going to do something — do it.If you want 30+ cars a month — structure your day.If you want freedom — earn it through discipline.There's no stopping.There's only gas.Let's get after it.God bless.
Send a textIf you're still running one “hero ad” and hoping it scales, you're already behind.In this episode, Jeremy breaks down why Meta's evolving algorithm has made single-creative campaigns obsolete—and why sports teams must shift from building one good ad to building a creative system. You'll learn how to structure multiple angles around one game, how to think in buyer motivations (not demographics), and how to create a “creative menu” that actually drives ticket sales.Key Topics CoveredWhy “What's the best ad format?” is the wrong questionThe myth of the one perfect ticket-selling adHow Meta's reduced targeting options change everythingThe “menu problem” most teams don't realize they have5 psychological ticket-buyer motivations for the same eventWhy frequency spikes and CPM increases aren't budget problemsHow to build 8–10 creative variations from one gameUsing ChatGPT to generate angles, hooks, and copy fasterWhy warming ads matter (AIDA framework explained)The difference between boosting posts and building strategyTimestamps00:00 – The myth of the “one killer ad” 02:40 – Why buyers aren't all motivated by the same thing 05:50 – The ice cream shop analogy (creative variety explained) 06:11 – 5 angles for the same Saturday Night Fireworks game 08:30 – Why Meta won't scale one message anymore 10:44 – How to practically build multiple creative angles 11:51 – The AIDA framework and warming ads 13:00 – Simple 4-step creative system for teams 15:19 – Stop boosting. Start building a creative menu.The Big Idea: You Don't Have a Targeting Problem. You Have a Creative Problem.Most teams run:One graphicOne hype videoOne captionOne boosted postThat's vanilla ice cream.But your fans don't all buy tickets for the same reason.Some buy for:Family memoriesSocial nights outDate nightsCorporate hostingWhen you run only one angle, Meta finds one pocket of people, frequency climbs, CPM increases, and performance plateaus.It's not a budget issue.You ran out of angles.The Creative Menu FrameworkFor one game:Write down 5 reasons someone would attend (motivations, not demographics).Create 2 angles per motivation.Make sure visuals are different (faces, scenes, tone, format).Let Meta run long enough to optimize (not 48 hours).That's 8–10 ads from one event.That's scale.Jeremy references the classic AIDA model:AttentionInterestDesireActionNot every ad converts immediately. Some warm. Some build trust. Some create demand.If you shut off non-converting ads too quickly, you kill the top of your funnel.Call to ActionIf this episode helped shift your thinking, share it with someone on your marketing or ticket sales team.Because the teams that move from one creative to a creative system are the teams that will scale ticket sales in 2026 and beyond.Links mentioned: Sports Marketing Machine powered by Revelocity Sports AIDA Framework viSports Marketing Machine on LinkedInSports Marketing Machine on InstagramBook a call with Jeremy from Sports Marketing Machine
What if the moments you most want to escape are the exact moments that are rewiring you?Most of us were taught to fix, push through, or numb the hard stuff. When conflict hits a relationship, when a business deal falls apart, when fear grips your chest — we run. We reach for the phone, the distraction, the solution. But what if the single most transformative thing you could do in those moments is the one thing nobody taught you: just be in it?In this raw and deeply personal monthly reflection, Raj sits down with his close friend Nasya Miller in Nosara, Costa Rica to unpack a month that included getting engaged, navigating business pivots, sitting in emotional turbulence with his partner, and discovering a weekly practice that changed the way he digests life. This isn't theory — it's wisdom from the trenches of building a business, deepening love, and learning how to die well so you can actually live.What You'll Discover:Why a neuroscientist says the moment you're most triggered is the exact moment you're most neuroplastic — and how to use that to rewire yourself in real timeThe ancient weekly practice that gave Raj a rhythm of rest and reflection he didn't know he was missing — and how it accelerated his integrationWhat it felt like to close "a thousand timelines" by getting on one knee — and why that single choice rearranged everythingThe difference between knowing something is a gift and actually feeling it as one — and what shifts when that gap finally closesWhy your triggers aren't your partner's fault, and the specific reframe that moves you from blame to liberation in secondsHow to access the intuitive guidance of your future self — the father, the leader, the 86-year-old version of you who's already been through thisThe surprising question a mentor gave Raj that reoriented his entire relationship with uncertainty: "What miracles are about to arrive in my life today?"Why getting better at "dying" — letting old identities, plans, and beliefs dissolve — is the single most important skill for anyone navigating changeIf you're in a season of uncertainty, transition, or emotional intensity and you're wondering how to stay rooted in playfulness, hope, and trust while everything shifts around you — this episode is your permission slip to stop fixing and start feeling.

Do you keep abandoning projects, systems, or goals the moment they get uncomfortable—even when they align with your vision? You're not alone. Most entrepreneurs quit what they're passionate about because they've been taught a dangerous lie: if it's right, it should feel easy. In this episode, I reveal why alignment doesn't mean comfortable, how to distinguish between growth discomfort and misalignment, and the framework that helps you persist through the breakthrough instead of quitting right before it happens.What You'll Learn:Why "if it's right, it feels easy" is costing you everythingThe two types of discomfort every entrepreneur faces (and which one to push through)The 5-question framework to determine if you should persist or quitWhy most entrepreneurs quit right before the breakthrough—and how to avoid this patternReal client story: How one entrepreneur almost abandoned the exact system that transformed her businessThe predictable arc of transformation (and where most people bail)How to tell if discomfort signals growth vs. misalignmentFeatured Framework: The Growth vs. Misalignment TestRun through these 5 questions when facing discomfort:Can I clearly articulate why this matters to me?Does this violate my core values?Am I drained without purpose, or exhausted with purpose?Would I regret walking away?Have I given this enough time to actually work?Apply This Week:Identify ONE thing you've been avoiding or abandoning because it feels uncomfortable. Run it through the 5-question framework. If it's aligned growth discomfort—commit to 90 days. Track your progress and notice when you hit the Messy Middle.Thanks for listening! Connect With Me:
Not hype. Not luck. Not “natural talent.”In this episode, Andy sits down with Dallin Peterson, a rookie who did something almost no one does — hit a Golden Door in his first year, finishing with 752 accounts and ~$750,000 in revenue in just five months.But here's what makes this episode different: Dallin didn't “get hot.” He didn't coast on momentum. He trained like a professional before he ever knocked a door — 30–40 hours a week for five straight months — then showed up every day through anxiety, loneliness, and exhaustion.This episode breaks down:Why Dallin dropped out of school to fully commit — and why that decision changed everythingThe off-season training blueprint that turned free preparation into ~$300/hour productionHow to stay consistent when motivation is gone and discipline is all you have leftWhy doing the math kills momentum — and what to focus on insteadHow elite reps think when they're off-track, off-pace, and doubting themselvesThe mindset shift that separates good reps, great reps, and true GOATsIf you've ever:Felt behind on your goalsWondered if you're “cut out” for elite performanceHit a plateau and didn't know how to break throughWanted to know what obsession actually looks like in practiceThis episode will reset how you think about preparation, pressure, and what it really costs to win.Listen if you're serious about leveling up — not just talking about it.Instagram:@summersalespodcast@andythebugguyy@dallin_peterson

Most florists think branding is something you do after you're established — after the logo, the website, the luxury weddings, the polished feed.But the truth is this: you already have a brand.And if you don't intentionally shape it, your clients will shape it for you.In this episode, Jen breaks down what a brand actually is (and what it isn't), why your behavior matters more than polish, and how you can start building a powerful, recognizable brand from any stage of business.This isn't about aesthetics — it's about alignment, consistency, and becoming known for something.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why a brand is a feeling, not a logoHow your behavior builds your brand faster than visualsWhy you are the brand (especially early on)How to pick a lane instead of trying to be everythingThe power of repetition in brand buildingHow boundaries create a premium brandWhy consistency builds trust and recognitionHow personal branding accelerates growthWhen (and why) it's okay to evolve your brandHow strong branding attracts better clients with less effortKey Takeaway:A brand isn't built in polish — it's built in how you show up.Your energy, tone, boundaries, and consistency are the brand.Action Steps:Choose 3 words you want people to associate with youUpdate your bio with what you want to be known forAudit your communication — does it sound like you?Decide what you're no longer available forStart showing up consistently, not perfectlyRepeat your message instead of reinventing itBrand is a long game — and that's what makes it powerful.

The OG Publisher's Blueprint for Building Partnerships That Actually LastYour affiliate program has hundreds of approved publishers, but only a handful are actively promoting you. Sound familiar? Stuart Miles, founder of Squirrel and former owner of Pocket-lint (which he grew to 12.5 million monthly readers before exiting), reveals why most affiliate managers are accidentally destroying publisher relationships before they even begin. Lee-Ann and Stuart discuss why product feeds matter more than commission rates, and the six tactical shifts that separate transactional affiliate programs from genuine partnerships that drive consistent revenue.Talking Points Include:The relevance test every affiliate manager fails – how understanding audience profiles transforms your outreach from spam into valuable partnership opportunitiesWhy making it harder for publishers to link to you kills conversions – the 15-minute friction point that costs you thousands in lost sales, and how removing barriers between story ideas and affiliate links changes everythingThe coffee shop approach to publisher relationships – why the best partnerships happen outside of product launches and promotional cycles, and what real-life relationship building looks like in 2026Listen to Find Out More About:Why standardised product feeds matter more than you think, and how retailers without them are losing visibility across major publisher platformsThe exact moment Stuart realised Pocket-lint competitors were stealing his affiliate links, and what Amazon's phone call revealed about attribution trackingHow international audience expansion forced Pocket-lint to build automated localisation, and why showing UK readers US pricing destroys conversion ratesThe pub test Stuart used with new journalists to determine if a story was actually worth publishing, and how this filter led to explosive audience growthWhy retailers that can't beat Amazon on price can still win publisher placements through customer service ratings and relevance scoringWhat happened when Stuart's team spent more time finding affiliate links than writing stories, and the efficiency breakthrough that led to Squirrel's creationCall to ActionReady to transform how you work with publisher partners? The strategies Stuart shared didn't come from theory – they came from two decades in the trenches building one of the world's most successful consumer technology publications.

For over 50 years, Dr. Kent Hovind has been one of the most fearless defenders of biblical creation. A former high school science teacher turned full-time evangelist, Dr. Hovind has debated over 390 atheists and evolutionists at universities across America. His famous creation seminar series has been translated into more than 40 languages and has impacted millions of believers around the world. He's the founder of Creation Science Evangelism and Dinosaur Adventure Land in Lenox, Alabama, where he continues to teach that the Bible is not only spiritually true but scientifically accurate.In this conversation, Dr. Hovind and I go deep into the evidence for a young earth, why carbon dating doesn't work, what the world looked like before Noah's flood, and why dinosaurs fit perfectly into the biblical narrative. We also tackle the flat earth movement and why Dr. Hovind believes evolution isn't just scientifically wrong but dangerously deceptive. If you've ever wrestled with questions about faith and science, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew.In this episode you will learn:Why there are only two worldviews: creation or evolution, and why it matters for everythingThe scientific evidence that points to a 6,000 year old earth, not billionsWhy carbon dating and radiometric dating methods are deeply flawedWhat the pre-flood world was really like: 900 year lifespans, greater oxygen, and giantsHow dinosaurs lived alongside humans and what happened to them after the floodWhat Behemoth and Leviathan in the book of Job really wereWhy the flat earth theory is wrong and how to respond to it biblicallyHow evolutionary thinking laid the foundation for Nazism, communism, and moral decayWhy you can believe the Bible and still be intellectually credibleCheck out Dr. Kent Hovind's ministry and materials:Call: 855-BIG-DINO Email: drdino@drdino.com Website: https://www.drdino.com/ Kent Hovind TV: https://kenthovind.tv/ Shop: https://dr-dino.myshopify.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kenthovindofficial1 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/kenthovindofficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kenthovindofficial TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kenthovindofficial Dinosaur Adventure Land in Lenox, Alabama (free admission!)Subscribe and follow The Dig In Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaFollow all things Johnny Ova: https://linktr.ee/johnnyovaGrab Johnny's book, The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H
What happens when you don't fully step away — but you stop rushing forward?Nadine reflects on the key takeaways from her semi-sabbatical: a year of working part time, studying deeply, and intentionally becoming a beginner again. Instead of chasing output, she followed curiosity. Instead of mastering, she practiced.This episode explores what a slower, experimental year taught her about identity, learning, rest, and growth — and why becoming a beginner might be one of the most transformative choices we can make.If you've been craving space to learn, try something new, or rethink your relationship with work and productivity, this episode is for you.Covered in this episode:How jealousy inspired her sabbaticalWhat she scaled back on and give up completelyThe silly and scary things she wanted to try in 2025How she funded her sabbaticalWhat her fears wereThe unexpected experiences that unfoldedWhat changed when productivity wasn't driving everythingThe key lessons she learned Reclaim your writing time in 2026:Publish the Personal (Virtual): Fridays Jan 23-Feb 27Revision Retreat: Craft Your Best Draft (In-person): Aug 2026, Madeline Island School of the Arts, WIAbout Nadine:Nadine Kenney Johnstone is an award-winning author, podcast host, and writing coach.

Some clips had us crying laughing, some had us side-eyeing ourselves, and others took a surprisingly thoughtful turn — because if we're gonna reflect, we might as well do it honestly.We talk fashion eras (yes, the Martha Stewart linen phase still stands), dating boundaries, bad decisions we didn't make, and the difference between being open-minded and being open to everything (spoiler: not the same).We also get into why “sex is a skill,” why everybody with a microphone is not a licensed expert, and why sometimes the real growth is knowing when to stop, sit still, and get yourself together. As always, there's plenty of foolishness, a little ministry, and a lot of “did she really say that?” energy. If you haven't listened to Part 1, go run that back first — then come join us here.
In this powerful episode of the Unified Brand Podcast, J. Supowitz, entrepreneur and President of Inked Stores, shares his deeply personal journey from business collapse to building a multi-million dollar branded merchandise company.We unpack:How ego and early success nearly cost him everythingThe lessons he learned through addiction recovery and reinventionHow Inked Stores pivoted to thrive through COVID-19 and beyondWhy embracing failure and narrowing focus is key to scaleThe truth about comparison culture and the illusion of "overnight success"Building a business that honors both the client and the teamThis raw and inspiring conversation dives into the emotional realities of entrepreneurship, resilience, and authentic brand building—an unmissable episode for any founder or marketing leader.
In this episode of The Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Catherine Lightfoot, ADHD coach and founder of Rewired Circles, to talk about her experience of navigating IVF as a neurodivergent person.Catherine was working in a senior HR role while undergoing fertility treatment and dealing with the mental load of a delayed ADHD diagnosis. She joins me to talk about the emotional toll of masking, the challenges of advocating for yourself in a system that does not always recognise neurodivergence, and the importance of creating support spaces that actually meet people where they are.This is our first episode covering neurodivergence and fertility, and I want to thank Catherine for bringing this conversation forward. If you suspect you may be neurodivergent, or if you've been struggling to articulate how this process is affecting you, I hope this episode offers support and language for what you might be feeling.What we discuss in this episode:Catherine's delayed ADHD diagnosis and how it overlapped with her fertility journeyWhy she and her partner opted for early fertility testing and how a surprise male factor diagnosis shifted everythingThe emotional whiplash of having a clear process derailed by COVID delaysHow hyperfocus, masking, and people-pleasing made it harder to ask for helpOverworking and pretending everything was fine while secretly undergoing injections and treatmentThe moment she realised she could not cope alone anymoreWhat IVF felt like as a neurodivergent person and why it is easy to become overwhelmed and disconnectedThe challenge of advocating for yourself when you are not sure what your needs areThe risks of masking and burnout in high-pressure jobs while going through treatmentHer reflections on memory loss, dysregulation, and why she misremembered the number of cycles she hadWhy support groups are powerful but may not be the right fit for everyone at every stageHow Catherine's coaching and lived experience helped her move from burnout to self-awarenessThe shocking mental health statistics for women with ADHD and why fertility support needs to evolveWhy the fertility and neurodivergent overlap is an urgent area of focus for workplaces and support providersHer top advice for anyone navigating fertility and ADHD, especially in silenceA note on support and asking for helpSo many of us keep it all in. We wait until it gets really bad before we share anything. But Catherine reminds us that asking for help does not need to be dramatic or all-encompassing. You can start small. Tell one trusted colleague at work. Let one friend know. Give someone permission to be your backup or just your quiet support.If you are masking and managing everything...

Send us a textYou don't need a brand-new personality this year.You don't need kale, CrossFit, or a personality transplant on January 1st.What you do need are a few small, intentional tweaks—decisions that actually respect the life you're living and the woman you already are.In this episode, we're officially past the “New Year, New You” nonsense and back in real life. And from that grounded place, I'm sharing 10 tweaks I'm committing to for 2026—not as rules, not as resolutions, but as lived practices that protect energy, reclaim time, and make space for delight.This list is personal.It's also wildly transferable.As you listen, I want you asking:“Which one of these is mine?”In this episode, we talk about:Why protecting your energy isn't selfish—it's survival (and leadership)How taking care of yourself is taking care of others (yes, even in medicine)Why waiting to meet your own needs is a fast track to burnoutHow to master your time without doing everything yourselfKnowing when and where to speak your mind (and where not to)Saying no without over-explaining or apologizingWhy delight is not frivolous—it's fuelHow questioning your assumptions quietly changes everythingThe power of retiring unnecessary apologiesWhat it really means to detach from medicine—mentally and physicallyThis is not about becoming someone else in 2026.It's about becoming more you, with better boundaries, more joy, and fewer open tabs in your brain.Your invitation:Steal this list.Adapt it.Make your own.Choose one tweak and practice it this week.If you want support doing this work—figuring out how to protect your energy, reclaim your time, and show up as yourself again—I'd love to help.You can reach me at megan@healthierforgood.com, check out my website (www.healthierforgood.com) or schedule at https://calendly.com/healthierforgood/coaching-discovery-callAnd if this episode resonated, please:Leave a rating and a written review (both matter)Share this episode with a physician who needs itWe don't make change alone.We pass it on.

Just Start: The Truth About Motivation, Action, and RegretStarting the year right doesn't mean doing more. Sometimes it means doing less… with way more intention.Host Christopher Rausch, in this epic episode of the Raw & Unscripted Podcast, is sharing the real lessons 2025 taught him—not from a mountaintop, but from living it.This year wasn't about chasing accomplishments, validation, or feeding my ego.It was about simplifying. Protecting my health. Making room for fun.And getting brutally honest about what actually matters.In this episode, I unpack the reminders that hit me hardest, including:Why assumptions keep us disconnected—and how asking better questions changes everythingThe importance of scheduling fun on purpose (and what it means if that feels uncomfortable for you)Advocating for your health by addressing root causes, not just symptoms— in your body and your lifeLetting go of old identities that once protected you but no longer serve who you're becomingAnd finally… why feeling overwhelmed isn't a sign to stop—it's a sign to startNo hype.No resolutions you'll forget by February.Just real reflections, real responsibility, and real reminders to live congruently with your values.If you're ready to begin this year grounded, intentional, and awake to what actually matters—this episode is for you.
#327: If you want 2026 to feel different — clearer, more aligned, less like you're holding your breath — you're going to have to break a few rules. Especially the quiet ones you've been following without realizing it.In this solo episode, we're kicking off the year by tossing out the performative resolutions and getting honest about the unspoken rulebook that's been running your life. You're not behind. You're not stuck. But you might still be living by stories, standards, and timelines that were never yours to begin with.This is about rewriting those scripts — and choosing yourself more boldly than you ever have before.In This Episode:The invisible rules keeping you small — and how to spot themWhy being “the good girl” is blocking your growthThe problem with playing it safe (and how to build risk tolerance)What to do with the “I should be further by now” spiralThe exact rules I broke in 2025 — and how they changed everythingThe difference between operating from your past vs. your future selfA 3-step strategy to build a year that feels luckyHow to take bold action without burning yourself outWhy rebellion can be soft, focused, and wildly effectiveThe rules I'm leaving behind this year — and what I'm replacing them withYou're not here to play by invisible rules anymore.

In today's powerful episode, we sit down with Rebecca Hushman, a certified carnivore coach who went from 69 pounds on her deathbed to thriving in ways doctors never believed possible. Misdiagnosed, gaslit, and battling chronic illness—including C‑diff, Lyme, autoimmune conditions, and severe digestive issues—Rebecca's story is one of radical resilience and nutritional transformation.After years of failed treatments, endless antibiotics, and worsening symptoms, Rebecca discovered the healing potential of a strict ketogenic diet and eventually the carnivore diet. Removing oxalates, eliminating plant foods, and focusing on nutrient‑dense animal foods helped her reverse symptoms, gain weight for the first time in years, and rebuild her health from the ground up.In this conversation, Rebecca shares:Her journey from chronic illness to full recoveryWhy traditional medicine failed to identify the root causesHow keto and carnivore changed everythingThe role of histamine, oxalates, and gut healthWhat she learned about pregnancy on a carnivore dietThe mindset, structure, and daily habits that support long‑term healing#CarnivoreDiet #KetoDiet #CarnivoreHealing #ChronicIllnessRecovery #GutHealth #AutoimmuneHealing #CDiffRecovery #HealthTransformation #KetoToCarnivore #RebeccaHushman #DrKiltzPodcast #MetabolicHealth #Oxalates #HistamineIntolerance #FunctionalMedicine #HealingJourney #CarnivoreCommunity #AncestralHealth #NutrientDenseEating #CarnivoreSuccess00:00 Introduction 01:12 Rebecca's story begins 03:05 Early diagnoses & medications 05:10 Chronic pain and failed treatments 06:40 Functional medicine discoveries 08:55 Hitting 69 lbs — the lowest point 11:20 Turning to the carnivore diet 13:45 Managing histamine issues 15:10 What made her so sick? 17:30 Childhood diet & hidden sugars 19:00 Do plants feed harmful microbes? 20:40 Functional vs. conventional medicine 22:15 Discovering keto and carnivore
Send us a textBeing kind is not the problem. Being ethical is not the problem. Being heart-led is not the problem. But being “good” like a "good girl conditioning" at the expense of being honest, direct, decisive and in your full embodied power is costing you clients, money, momentum and success.In this episode, we're talking about the hidden cost of “good girl business.”We unpack:How being agreeable dilutes your messagingWhy over-consideration creates under-conversionThe ways moral superiority sneaks into under-earningHow fear of being judged keeps you vague instead of potentWhy neutrality is not safety, it's actually invisibilityI also share:How the need to be liked undermines authorityWhy clarity feels “edgy” when you've been conditioned to soften everythingThe difference between ethical leadership and self-silencingHow your business becomes more impactful when you stop trying to be palatableWhen you stop trying to be “good,” you create space to actually DO GOOD in the world with the resources you are responsible for. And that's when your work truly reaches the people it's meant for.With love,Robyn xoP.S. If you loved this episode, I'd appreciate if you could leave a review or share on your socials.

As the world slows down in the quiet space between years, Chanie invites school leaders into a powerful reflection:What did this year build in you?Not what you accomplished…Not what you finished…Not what you checked off the list…But what was formed within you as a leader navigating exhaustion, momentum, setbacks, breakthroughs, culture challenges, enrollment pressures, financial strain, team transition, and the very real humanity of leadership.In this deeply personal episode, Chanie shares her own journey through 2025 — a year that stretched her capacity, reshaped her identity as a leader, and forced her to develop new rhythms of discernment, emotional regulation, faith, marriage, health, and operational leadership.And while the details are her own, the themes are universal for school leaders:The invisible weight you carryThe pressure to remember everythingThe instinct to manage every outcomeThe exhaustion of holding everyone's emotionsThe desire for relief without guiltThe dance of relationshipsThe need for rhythms, not more systemsThis episode is a mirror, reflecting back the capacity you've built this year, often without even noticing.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe Leadership Lessons Inside a Full Year of StretchWhy capacity is built in friction, stretch, and tension — not in easeHow slowing down becomes a leadership strategy, not a setbackThe hidden emotional labor behind writing This Can't Be NormalWhat the Five Gears framework revealed about school operations and leadershipWhy memory can't be your leadership system — and how rhythms carry what your brain shouldn'tHow marriage, teams, and leadership all share the same “choreography” of conflictWhat it means to return — and why trust is built in the returnHow faith, steadiness, and presence become leadership anchorsThe power of “living the question” instead of rushing toward clarityWhy you're not behind — you're in a season that's building youKey Insights for School Leaders1. Capacity is being built right now — even if it feels messy.Your stretch is the training ground for deeper leadership.2.

Most of the time I'm interviewing other women about their wild, brave, chaotic journeys… and nine times out of ten, there's a burnout story buried in there somewhere.So today, I'm sharing mine.In this episode, I walk you through the year my body finally hit the brakes — the ignored symptoms, the hospital scares, the career misalignment, and the long, messy rebuild that followed. If you're running on adrenaline, juggling too much, or quietly falling apart while pretending everything's fine… consider this your nudge.This isn't a dramatic “quit your job and move to Bali” story. It's the real version — the hospital ECGs, the mozzarella-stick diet, the overthinking, the identity crisis, and the uncomfortable truth that you can only outrun yourself for so long.What We Talk AboutThe moment a doctor asked me one question that exposed everythingThe physical symptoms I brushed off (and why that was a terrible plan)How 17 years in construction + 2 kids + 2 businesses became the perfect stormWhen stress masquerades as illnessThe identity shift that comes with leaving a career you've built your life aroundThe slow rebuild: sleep, food, movement, and actually listening to myselfWhy purpose matters more than any “goal” you can tick offThe three things I stopped doing so I'd never burn out like that againHow this burnout became the catalyst for She Who Dares WinsDownload the Free Worksheet — The ReckoningIf you're feeling stretched thin, misaligned, or stuck in someone else's version of your life, this is the exact reflection tool I used (and still use).https://stan.store/shewhodareswinsWho This Episode Is ForWomen who are:juggling too muchburnt out but pretending they're “fine”questioning their careerrebuilding after a crashwanting a life that actually fits themA Note From MeIf any part of this episode hits home — you're not weak, dramatic, or failing. You're human. And your body is usually wiser than your ego.Talking about burnout doesn't make you fragile. It makes you honest.Thanks for listening.She Who Dares Wins.

f you've ever reached for food even when your stomach isn't hungry, this episode is for you.

When Andrea Driessen and Bart sat next to each other at IMEX, the conversation didn't begin with sales, logistics, or “What do you need?” Instead, Andrea asked something rare: “Tell me more about you.” That moment became the spark for this deeply meaningful episode. Andrea is the Founder of Grace Notes, an author, TED/TEDx speaker, longtime entrepreneur, and former ownerof a speakers bureau. Today, she's leading a global movement to help people experience something precious while they're still here: a living eulogy.In this powerful conversation, Andrea shares:Why people feel invisible at work and in lifeHow “messages of mattering” transform confidence, culture, and connection her father's 11-word note that changed everythingThe four roadblocks stopping people from expressing appreciationWhat happens when we wait too longthe extraordinary riffle effect of a handwritten Garce NoteYou'll hear emotional stories, practical tools, and reminders that we simply can't afford to postpone what matters most.This episode is a masterclass in noticing, appreciating, and expressing the good in others before it's too late. Major Takeaways / Learnings1. We must not wait.Life changes without warning. A grace note written today can become someone's anchor tomorrow. Bart shares his “blue screen of death” metaphor and his own heart-attack anniversary to reinforce the message: Don't wait.2. People feel unseen, more than we realize.A third of employees feel invisible at work. Half feel undervalued. Women especially feel unseen. Grace Notes offer a simple, profound antidote.3. A “living eulogy” shifts how people view their impact.Most people don't know the good they bring to others until they're gone. Grace Notes allow us to tell them now when they can internalize it, live into it, and be changed by it.4. Four roadblocks stop people from expressing appreciation.Andrea identifies the big four:Lack of timeEmotional bandwidthFear of awkwardnessNot knowing what to sayShe gives tools to overcome each one.5. Handwritten matters.A physical note becomes a keepsake, a reminder, a reassurance. People keep them on walls, drawers, binders—sometimes for decades.6. Brave moves build brave lives.Andrea shares the 11-word note from her father:“I'm in awe of my kid doing such a brave thing.”She still has it on her wall—even now.7. Attention is one of the purest forms of love.When we fully “erase ourselves” and focus on others, we give the rarest human gift: presence without agenda.8. Meaning > Matter.People don't need more things. They need more meaning. Messages of mattering help create it. Memorable QuotesFrom Andrea:“We shouldn't have to be dead to hear our eulogy read.”“People feel invisible. A simple note can change their day, their career, their life.”“We overthink what to write and underestimate its impact.”“The attention we give one another is our greatest form of love.”“If we don't believe in the value of our work, no one else will.”From Bart:“Most people don't… but you do.”“Don't wait to say I love you. Don't wait to send the note.”“The universe is meeting you where you are because your intention is pure.”“You don't need the applause, you need the impact.”Why It Matters1. Start your own Grace Note practice today.Pick one person. Write 3–4 sentences. Send it. Don't overthink.2. Create a “Kudos File” or “Brag Box.”Keep the notes others send you. Pull them out on the tough days.3. Use the “habit swap” method.Swap one episode of Netflix, one social scroll, one distraction—for a Grace Note.4. Schedule a monthly “Grace Note Meeting” with yourself.A simple recurring calendar block. 10–20 minutes. It changes relationships.5. Lead with meaning.In leadership, sales, family, and friendships:People remember how you made them feel seen.6. Practice presence.Erase yourself—focus solely on the human in front of you.Resources;Connect to: Andrea Driessen | LinkedInWebsite: Keynote Speaker | Gracenotes
