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. Rhythms protect your energy more than systems ever will.This is the heart of SOE: predictable rhythms outperform reactive solutions.3. Slowing down keeps you steady — it never means you're behind.Hustle creates fragility. Rhythm builds...

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.

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

Join Alex as she pulls back the curtain on the philosophy that reshaped her entire life and the lives of countless women inside The Brain Edit™.

"What does it mean to truly enjoy the fruit of your labor? Solomon teaches that this enjoyment is not the result of wealth itself, but a blessing from God.In Ecclesiastes 5:18 – 6:12, we see two people with the same material possessions — one finds joy, the other despair. The difference? One receives his labor's fruit with thanksgiving to God; the other lives for wealth and cannot enjoy it. This contrast reveals a profound biblical truth: to enjoy your work and its rewards is a divine gift, while to labor without joy is a curse.In this sermon, we explore:Why all things are vanity when lived apart from GodHow enjoying your work reflects God's covenant blessingsWhy some cannot enjoy their wealth — even when they have everythingThe danger of the “futility curse” and how Christ redeems itHow faith transforms labor and gratitude into worshipSolomon points us back to the Garden — and forward to redemption in Christ, who removes the curse of futility and restores us to the joy of fruitful labor.

In this fourth episode of our Resurrection Series, Tim and Steve journey down the Emmaus Road (Luke 24:13–35) to explore how the resurrected Christ reveals Himself in all of Scripture—especially the Old Testament.Far more than symbolic or prophetic references, we discover that Christ is eternally present in the Scriptures—indwelling time itself and inviting us to encounter Him in a living, sacramental way.This episode dives into:Why Luke 24 contains the longest resurrection story in the GospelsHow Eucharist opens our eyes to recognize ChristWhat "sacramental time" means and why it mattersChristophanies, typology, and Jesus' ongoing presence in the Old TestamentWhy reading Scripture with Jesus changes everythingThe beauty of Christ pursuing us—even when we're stuck in disappointment
How often have you told yourself, “Next time I'll catch myself,” and then find yourself right back in the same pattern? That's what this episode is about: the space between knowing better and doing differently. In this episode, I, Mischelle O'Neal, dive into what real action looks like after alignment. She unpacks why high-functioning women slip back into reflex mode and how to use the pause as your first move toward peace. Listen as I share: Why pausing feels uncomfortable (and why that's a good sign)How small physical movements, walking away, turning aside, looking down, reset your brain and bodyWhat it means to give yourself time before you answer, and how that changes everythingThe truth that will save your energy: very few things in life need instant attention If you've been running on reflex, this episode will remind you that power lives in stillness, and clarity begins with a pause. Take a breath. You don't owe the world an instant answer.

What was meant to be a five-day trip to visit my daughter for her birthday in Thailand…turned into two very unforgettable weeks in foreign hospitals when Marley had yet another unexpected medical emergency. In this episode, Ryan and I share our experiences with Marley – from having the time of our lives on a tropical island with Marley, to the dreadful night it all went downhill and the hospitals became our hotel.Without giving it all away, I'll say this… God has a way of delivering incredible little gifts of light in hard and heavy circumstances. This trip was no exception. A thing that felt so scary to experience on the other side of the world turned into quite the experience full of bonding mother-daughter moments, inside jokes and laughter, and mind-blowing top-notch medical care from Bangkok.Bonus? If you ever want to REALLY get to know the person you are dating, have a family emergency 30 hours away that extends your trip while being stuck in a hospital room with them. Safe to say, Ryan passed with flying colors.In this episode, I share:Our entire medical experience in Thailand: hospitals visited, cost of care, insurance usedThe story behind it all – including how Marley is healingAll about our Thailand travels – Bangkok to Koh SamuiThe beautiful gifts of grace that we found along the waySome pretty sweet relationship lessons I'm learning from Ryan's kindnessWhy learning to let someone else lead changed everythingThe hidden strength that emerges when you're running on emptyIf this episode moved you, please like, comment, subscribe, and share.

Have you ever found yourself staring at your to-do list, desperately wanting to work, but somehow—-NOT working? You're scrolling through social media, reorganizing your desk, making another coffee—-doing anything but the thing you actually need to do. You are not lazy or broken, and according to today's guest, your problem isn't willpower; it's neuroscience. Are you ready to achieve more with brain-based strategies? Join us for a conversation that will change how you think about productivity. Robin J. Emdon, known as “the procrastination slayer,” shares his personal journey from chronic procrastination to accountability coach. After realizing that he took 10 years to complete a 6-year degree due to procrastination, Robin researched the neuroscience behind productivity and wrote Get Resultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done. He explains procrastination through brain science, describing the conflict between threat modality and reward modality. He introduces his “inner productivity team,” the Conductor, the Fun-Sized Warrior, and the Scholar. His work emphasizes that accountability is the critical missing link for sustained productivity, citing research that shows a 33% improvement in goal achievement with the proper accountability structure. Robin's signature momentum formula, “Do it today–Profit tomorrow–Repeat,” helps clients worldwide turn daily action into meaningful progress and attainable success. He does this from his quiet corner on England's southwest coast. Show Highlights:Robin's journey: a 2019 face-palm moment that changed everythingThe prevalence of procrastination The COVID-19 shutdown—and an opportunity to do meaningful researchRobin's embarrassment about his procrastination problemThe structure of Robin's book, GetResultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done, divided into three specific sections“Money is infinite; you can always make more. Your time and life are finite. Procrastination greatly impacts your ‘time account'.”Momentum is the missing link to productivity—and this creates lifestyle freedom.To get into “the productivity groove,” you need an inner productivity team: the Conductor (dopamine), the Fun-Sized Warrior (noradrenaline), and the Scholar (acetylcholine).Assessing your threat modality vs. your reward modalityUnderstanding accountability–and how it drives resultsResources:Connect with Robin J.

This quick, hope-filled Saddle Up distills my full conversation with my surgeon, Dr. Elizabeth O'Leary, into practical steps you can take this week. Early detection saves lives. Courage + a simple plan = peace.What You'll LearnWhy early detection changes everythingThe 25-year-old high-risk assessment every woman should know aboutWhat to do if you have dense breasts (better imaging options)Lifestyle levers that actually move the needle (movement, stress, alcohol, steady nutrition)A simple prayer + mindset script to calm anxietyTime-Stamped Guide (approx.)00:00 — Why this episode matters (hope > fear)01:00 — Appointments to make + when to start02:00 — High-risk assessment at 25: what it is, who needs it03:30 — Dense breasts: mammogram + MRI/ultrasound strategy04:30 — Lifestyle that helps: movement, steady nutrition, stress, alcohol06:00 — Mindset + prayer to carry you throughThe Saddle Up Checklist (pick 1–3)Book your mammogram (start at 40; sooner if high-risk).Forward this to a 25–35 year-old you love and nudge a high-risk assessment.Dense breasts? Message your provider about alternating mammogram + MRI based on your risk.Choose one lever: add a 20-minute walk, swap one drink for sparkling water, or add protein + plants to lunch.Write & carry this prayer:“God, I'm placing my health in Your hands. Lead me to the right steps and the right people. Give me courage to act and peace to rest.”Key TakeawaysEarly > easy. Catch it early and treatment is often simpler—and curative.No family history? Still go. ~80% of women diagnosed have no family history.Personalize it. Dense breasts and/or higher risk may mean different imaging.Small habits help. Aim toward ~300 min/week of movement, include strength, keep nutrition steady, reduce alcohol, and prioritize sleep + stress care.Peace is possible.

After back-to-back rental letdowns, Tim and Vanessa decided they'd had enough. This episode dives into their journey from frustration to finally buying their first home in Tarpon Springs, Florida, with insights every first-time buyer can use.Tim and Vanessa's story begins with a double blow from their landlord — first being kicked out for renovations, then again just weeks later when the landlord decided to sell. The final straw came during their wedding anniversary weekend, in the middle of a hurricane, when they got the dreaded 30-day notice. Instead of giving up, they turned their anger into determination.With persistence and guidance from a unicorn realtor, they navigated the emotional rollercoaster of home shopping. They refused to settle, even when it felt tempting, and leaned on their realtor's network of lenders and inspectors to stay confident in the process. Their patience paid off: in early 2025, they closed on a $388,000 two-bedroom, two-bath home in Tarpon Springs, FL.This interview highlights the importance of resilience, choosing the right team, and never letting setbacks define your outcome. For anyone feeling stuck in the cycle of renting, Tim and Vanessa's journey is proof that perseverance and the right guidance can turn things around.Quote: “Don't settle. We tried to talk ourselves into it several times, and it just wouldn't have worked out.” – VanessaHighlights:The rental nightmare that finally pushed them to buyHow a unicorn realtor changed everythingThe emotional toll of the search — and why persistence mattersWhy refusing to settle was their key to successTheir final win: a $388K home in Tarpon Springs, FLConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.
