Dear Boss Babe... you've been telling yourself, “I'm fine. I'm just tired. It's just a busy season.” But what if that's not the truth? What if you're ignoring the very signs that are trying to save you? Most high-achieving women don't break down from one big moment — we burn out because we dismiss months of small signals, all while performing, producing, and pushing at a level that looks impressive… but feels heavy. Today's pep talk is the reminder your spirit has been waiting for. In this short but powerful reset, Ericka delivers the kind of tough-love pep talk every ambitious woman needs. Inside this episode, you'll hear: How chronic stress hides behind success, competence, and hustle culture — and why you've normalized exhaustion without realizing it. Your spark. Your joy. Your voice. Your identity. Your energy to dream the way you used to. Ericka breaks down the difference between: – “I'm overwhelmed” – “I'm shutting down” – and the dangerous autopilot many high achievers mistake for strength – Tight chest – Clenched jaw – Irritability – Forgetfulness – Heavy routines – Sparkless mornings – Sleep that doesn't restore you Ericka guides you through: – Questioning your pace – Checking whether you're surviving or actually thriving – Micro-moments that bring you back home to yourself – Nervous-system safety resets – Small acts of self-care high achievers forget to do This is the pep talk every boss babe deserves — especially the ones who never slow down long enough to hear their own truth. burnout, chronic stress signs, pep talk for women, high achiever burnout, hustle culture recovery, self care for ambitious women, nervous system support, feminine wellness, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, productivity pressure, burnout vs stress ✨ Share this pep talk with another high-achieving woman who needs the reminder. ✨ Leave a review on Apple & Spotify — it helps other women find this podcast. ✨ And listen to Episode 130 for the full deep dive into chronic stress vs burnout.

Do you ever reach the end of the day feeling emotionally drained—and then wonder why you have no desire for sex? In this episode, Dr. Sonia explores how the invisible emotional and mental labor women carry throughout the day follows them into the bedroom, quietly shutting down desire and intimacy. This isn't a libido problem—it's a capacity problem. You'll learn why desire cannot exist in a stressed nervous system, how "to-do list sex" and emotional overgiving lead to resentment and numbness, and why pushing through exhaustion only deepens disconnection. Dr. Sonia also shares how intimacy actually begins outside the bedroom, with rest, relief, and support—not pressure. ✨ In this episode, we discuss:

Spiritual exhaustion is a form of burnout high-capacity humans rarely name. This episode explores how nervous system safety and God's presence meet — and why real safety isn't achieved, but received. Learn to recognize spiritual strain and return to rest.Spiritual exhaustion is a form of burnout high performers rarely acknowledge — not because they don't believe in God, but because their nervous system doesn't know how to feel safe with Him yet. This Sunday episode explores the intersection of burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, and the deeper spiritual safety God offers through presence, not pressure.Drawing from King David's prayers (“my heart is overwhelmed… lead me to the Rock that is higher than I”) and Jesus resting in the storm, Julie reveals how high-capacity humans often trust God intellectually while their bodies remain braced, guarded, or disconnected. This is where identity drift, spiritual exhaustion, and performance-based faith quietly take root.You'll learn:• what spiritual exhaustion feels like somatically• how interoception affects your ability to sense God's nearness• why pressure-based faith leads to chronic spiritual fatigue• the surprising link between nervous system safety and attachment with God• how religion, performance, and past spiritual wounds block real rest• why “receiving safety” is more transformative than trying to create it• how King David and Jesus model embodied peace in dangerThis episode also includes a gentle invitation for those healing from religious wounds or navigating “faith curiosity.” Julie shares the difference between religious performance and genuine connection with the Sovereign — a relationship rooted in presence, not perfection.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) DistinctionThis is not another mindset shift or spiritual habit to stack.ILR works at the identity-root level — where your nervous system, beliefs, and sense of belonging intersect.It's the recalibration that makes every other spiritual practice work again.Micro Recalibration (for individuals + teams)Ask yourself:“Where is my body bracing against the safety God is offering me?”Then explore:• What sensation rises when I say, “God, I receive Your peace”?• Where in my body feels guarded or hesitant?• What would 2% more openness to God's presence feel like right now?Team Extension:“What would it look like for us to work from peace instead of pressure this week?”If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Speaker: Danielle Cummings   Scripture: Luke 2:1-7

Pastor Dru discusses the contemporary emphasis on discipleship within the Christian community, warning against treating it like an endurance sport and emphasizing the importance of a genuine relationship with God.

In this episode, Petia explores why believers sometimes don't feel God emotionally and why this does NOT mean God is distant. She shares encouragement, Scripture, and seven biblical ways we often sense God that have nothing to do with feelings.   Key Points: Feelings are not the measure of God's presence. Exhaustion and motherhood deeply affect emotional sensitivity. God's presence is constant even when our awareness is low. Silence is often God deepening spiritual maturity. Practical steps to reconnect with God gently.   7 Ways We Sense God (Even Without Feelings): A verse becomes alive. Peace that doesn't make sense. Strength you didn't have before. Desire to pray, even weakly. Gentle conviction or redirection. Moments of comfort — music, words, quiet. Perseverance that comes from the Holy Spirit.   Scriptures Included: Psalm 42:5 James 4:8   Call to Action: Share this episode with a friend. Connect with Petia on Instagram @petiakolibova   Thank you for listening — remember, silence is not separation, and God is closer than your breath.

In this episode:Have you ever reached that point where your career looks brilliant on the outside, but feels like an emotional flatline on the inside? My guest, the vibrant and soulful Jo Chidwick, knows that feeling only too well.After 30 years in the corporate world - leading global marketing for major IT brands - Jo found herself exhausted, disconnected from joy, and realising she'd drifted miles away from the parts of her work that once lit her up. And like so many of us, her wake-up call came from a quiet but persistent voice inside whispering, “Is this really it?”In this uplifting episode, Jo shares how she moved from autopilot to alignment; from relentless meetings to running meaningful retreats; and how a single stay in France planted the first seeds of a brand-new life. Today she splits her time between the UK and France, running soulful, holistic retreats that help people rest, reconnect, and rediscover who they are.This conversation is warm, hopeful, full of giggles, and beautifully honest and it might just spark something inside you too.

Paul Leonardi is an expert in technology management and has developed a deep understanding for why today's digital tools—even those that are helpful—can contribute to our growing sense of exhaustion.  Pulling from research he's written about in his book Digital Exhaustion, he explains why this happens and as importantly, what we can do about it.    Chapters: 02:00 Why Digital Exhaustion?  Paul Leonardi discusses his 20-year career helping companies implement new technologies and his observation of the increasing dread people feel towards new tools. He highlights how the solutions to digital overload are not working, leading to widespread exhaustion.  04:36 The Types of Digital Switching  Paul explains three kinds of digital switching: between modalities (apps), domains of work, and arenas (work/home). He emphasizes that these switches, though seemingly innocuous, cause significant cognitive strain and mental exhaustion due to the brain's reorientation time.  07:20 Cumulative Exhaustion and Control  Paul explains that digital exhaustion is a cumulative problem, building slowly over time from seemingly small attention switches.   11:29 Expectations and Response Patterns Paul discusses how people tend to overestimate the urgency of messages and fall into a 'hero symptom' of quick responses, leading to a vicious cycle. He explains how this creates an exhausting game of chase, where individuals try to outdo each other in fast replies.  14:35 Strategies for Managing Expectations  Paul suggests asking for clarity on urgency and adopting a philosophy of 'waiting' (one hour, one day, one week) to reset response patterns. He also highlights the effectiveness of out-of-office messages and direct communication in setting realistic expectations and reducing perceived urgency.  20:59 Measuring Digital Exhaustion  Paul describes his 'Digital Exhaustion' rating, inspired by the Maslach Burnout Inventory, which measures how much digital tools wear people out. He reveals a precipitous rise in digital exhaustion rates from 2002 to 2022, with major spikes in 2010 (smartphones/social media) and 2021 (pandemic).  26:10 Unforced Errors and Self-Views Paul discusses 'unforced errors' like sleeping with phones in bed and constantly viewing oneself during video calls, which contribute to exhaustion. He explains how the 'self-view' on video platforms is a metaphor for the constant self-curation and inference-making we do across all online platforms, leading to mental fatigue.  31:08 The Exhaustion of Upward Comparison  Paul references a 1950s Stanford study on upward comparison and how social media amplifies this, leading to exhaustion from comparing oneself to others' curated ideal lives. He discusses how AI will further exacerbate this issue by creating unrealistic avatars for comparison.  36:07 Antidotes and Small Wins Paul suggests taking online content at face value without extrapolating deeper meanings to combat upward comparison and the stories we create.   42:45 Resonance and Pushback Paul shares that the most pleasing feedback on his book is the distinction between a sustainable approach to digital exhaustion versus unsustainable digital detoxes. The main pushback he receives is about the 'waiting' strategy, with people fearing it will make them seem impolite or ghosting. 

Feel like you're just not yourself mentally in midlife? Trust me, you are absolutely not crazy for wondering what's going on in your brain.  In this episode, hormone expert Dr. Carrie Jones joins me to unpack the very real brain changes and hormone fluctuations that make midlife feel like a rollercoaster. Dr. Carrie brings refreshing honesty about giving herself grace on the days when her brain simply says “no” and how that compassion is essential for all of us navigating this season of life.  We dive into the midlife “reckoning,” when so many women realize it's time to reevaluate who they are, what they want, and say goodbye to what no longer serves them.  Together, we explore why midlife can leave you feeling out of whack, how hormones drive these shifts, and what you can do to support your brain with more clarity and ease.  Tune in to feel validated and empowered as you move through this transformative stage of life! Carrie Jones ND, FABNE, MPH Dr. Carrie Jones is an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and educator on women's health and hormones with over 20 years in the industry.

Now, she's the Chief Medical Officer at NuEthix Formulations and Head of Medical Education at Metabolic Mentor University. IN THIS EPISODE  Addressing common brain-related perimenopause symptoms  How bringing on hormones can ease midlife symptoms Top lifestyle interventions for perimenopause and menopause  How hormone changes in midlife impact routine and efficiency  The odd perimenopause symptoms no one talks about How Dr. Jones manages patient care differently as a Naturopath How to confidently find an expert you can address symptoms with  Easy ways to add exercise and strength to your daily routine  QUOTES“We still have good days and bad days and things we cannot control. And because I can't control the rollercoaster that my inherent hormones are on, and I can't control necessarily what the neurons in my brain are doing… I actually give myself a lot of grace.” “Even for as educated as I am, I'm not alone. There are a lot of women struggling, and there are a lot of women struggling a lot more than me, unfortunately.” “$26 billion are lost on women in perimenopause and early menopause due to absenteeism and loss in productivity because they just don't feel like they can do it. Their brain feels like it's on the fritz.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your MitoQ order https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101585564-17091761 Dr. Carrie Jones' Website Dr. Carrie Jones on Instagram  Dr Carrie Jones' Podcast: Hello Hormones RELATED EPISODES  689: The Hidden Brain Shift: Why Perimenopause Symptoms Start Earlier Than You Think 680: You Are Not Broken: Why Women Need Testosterone to Feel Strong, Sexy & Energized with Dr. Kelly Casperson 668: Your Brain on Perimenopause: The Hidden Neurological Transition No One Warns You About #547: What You Need to Know About the OPill and Hormone Changes in Perimenopause with Dr. Carrie Jones

Let's talk about the different kinds of exhaustion, from the emotional and mental fatigue that comes from life's sudden curve balls to the physical strain that can flatten your energy reserves even when everything else feels pretty steady.For me, 2024, brought a sudden, sink or swim situation that left me emotionally depleted and mentally drained. I managed to appear, in fact I wanted to appear 'fine' to the outside world and somehow managed just that. Recently though, a short virus flipped everything on its head. My mind was clear and calm but my body was limp.In this episode, I explore:why exhaustion is more than just being 'tired'the difference between surviving something heavy and recovering from something physical. how the body and mind take turns 'carrying us' through.why different forms of tired ask for different kinds of rest.what both types of tiredness taught me about listening to myself sooner.Let's face it, we've all been there and it can be rough, but we're all human and we all have limits.If you're going through your own version of tired right now, I hope this episode helps you feel a little more understood, or at least a little less alone.Get in touch:Email: office@emmaguns.comRead my SubstackFollow me on Insta.Hey!

If you're tired to your bones, craving soup and bread, and wondering why you can't seem to keep up with… well, anything right now, you're not alone. In this episode, Michelle shares her own recent crash into winter exhaustion (including a 12-hour sleep after Black Friday) and walks you through what's actually happening in your body and nervous system at this time of year. She explains how shorter days, less light, and constant holiday demands set the stage for both physical hibernation and emotional burnout—and how diet culture swoops in to sell you control, discipline, and “New Year, New You” just when you're most vulnerable. Instead of seeing winter as a problem to solve, Michelle offers practical ways to honour your body's need for rest, comfort, and gentler rhythms, so you can move through this season with more compassion and less self-blame.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why winter fatigue is normal, not a moral failingHow reduced daylight affects melatonin, serotonin, circadian rhythms, mood, and motivation—and why your body naturally shifts into energy conservation mode.Comfort food cravings as protection, not a problemWhy those longings for soups, stews, bread, and “soul food” are your body's way of seeking warmth, stability, and nervous-system soothing.The winter + burnout combo that fuels diet cultureHow emotional labour, family dynamics, holiday busyness, and end-of-year reflection create peak burnout—and make quick-fix body plans feel extra tempting.The burnout-to-diet-culture pipelineWhy exhaustion makes us cling to rules, plans, and “resets,” and how to pause and ask: Is this actually care, or is this control?Gentle structures instead of rigid rulesIdeas for soft “anchor points” like warm breakfasts, a few minutes of daylight, earlier bedtimes, and other rhythms that support you without demanding a full-body transformation.Getting curious about cravingsHow to ask what your cravings are offering—comfort, warmth, connection, pleasure—and ways to meet those needs with food and non-food nourishment.Letting yourself rest without earning itA reminder that rest is not a reward for productivity; it's part of the natural winter rhythm your body is designed for.Michelle's personal winter ritualsFrom Indian takeout and daily baths to a tech-free “cocoon” room with records and candles, Michelle shares how she's been giving herself permission to slow down and just be.If you're craving permission to stop fighting your winter body and start listening to it, this episode is your invitation to exhale. Winter is not a test you're failing. It's a season your body is already navigating—with wisdom you can learn to trust.Connect with Michelle:Instagram: @wayzahealthEmail: michelle@wayzahealth.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Craig and Britt return for Week 14 and immediately agree on one thing: this NFL season makes no sense. From the AFC North chaos to Buffalo's weekly identity crisis, they break down the bizarre standings, the endless underperformance, and why parody has turned 2025 into a football fever dream. Stefanski rumors, Tomlin speculation, UConn coaching departure. Seltzer. Exhaustion. Football nonsense. Week 14 is a weird one, and the Fignuts are just trying to survive it.

In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, host Maurice Harker explores how to turn intrusive thoughts, exhaustion, and spiritual opposition into fuel for growth instead of proof that you're failing.Drawing from the Come, Follow Me lesson and recent general conference talks, Maurice explains how to reframe negative self-talk as deliberate spiritual opposition, not “just your own broken mind.” He walks through his process of creating “Notes to Self”—personalized, gospel-rooted reminders in written and audio form—to anchor your mind when Satan attacks with shame, depletion, or “you're not enough” narratives.In this episode, you'll learn:How to recognize intrusive, self-critical thoughts as spiritual warfare—not your true identityWhy exhaustion and burnout are often a satanic strategy, not a badge of righteousnessHow customized audios and written “notes to self” can function as a personal iron rod during late-night anxiety and early-morning attacksWhy God expects you to rest and let divine compensation (ministering angels, teammates, and grace) cover what you can't doHow to support youth and adults who are wrestling with questions, doubt, and truth-seeking without fearIf you're an LDS spouse, parent, leader, or disciple striving for self-mastery, resilient faith, and Christ-centered emotional health, this episode will help you see your mental battles in a new light—and give you practical tools to fight back with the Savior instead of against yourself.

Some stories come from the dead of night. Others happen under the burning Arizona sun. But in Yuma's endless stretches of agricultural fields—where the roads run dark and the palm trees tower over the dirt—something else moves. Something people keep seeing… even when they wish they hadn't. A woman driving home slammed the brakes when a pale figure stepped into her headlights—only to watch it pass cleanly through the car. Weeks later, in broad daylight, a worker swore she saw a barefoot little boy weaving through the palm trees, untouched by the blistering desert heat. And the strangest part?

Are you living at your best—or simply getting by? For many believers, chronic exhaustion has become a quiet norm. Yet Scripture reminds us that burnout isn't a badge of honor. It's a warning light. When life feels out of balance, it may be a sign we're pushing beyond the limits God lovingly designed for our good.Today, we sat down with Carey Nieuwhof—pastor, bestselling author of At Your Best: How to Get Time, Energy, and Priorities Working in Your Favor, leadership expert, and host of the Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast, as well as the founding pastor of Connexus Church—to talk about how Christians can pursue biblical rest and renewed purpose. Carey's insights come not from theory, but from the deepest valley of personal experience.When Success Masks ExhaustionCarey's story began two decades ago, during a season of explosive ministry growth. His church was thriving, opportunities were multiplying, and by every outward measure, life was “on top.” But amid this success, his inner world was collapsing.After returning from a high-profile speaking event, Carey hit a wall:“It was like I fell off a cliff. I lost motivation, passion, and energy. I met all the symptoms of clinical depression. My body declared a finish line I had refused to acknowledge.”People around him saw the signs. He didn't. And that's often the story behind burnout—others notice the warning lights long before we do.Carey describes burnout as “the gap between what you're capable of and what you're carrying.” Early in ministry, he assumed that increasing responsibility meant increasing hours. It was an unsustainable equation.Yet today, two decades later, he leads a much larger platform with far more influence—without living exhausted. Why? Because he restructured his life around a biblical rhythm of rest, limits, and intentional focus.Managing Energy, Not Just TimeMany Christians feel that better time management will fix their overload. But as Carey points out, time is a fixed asset—everyone gets the same 24 hours. Energy, however, rises and falls.Every person has what Carey calls a “green zone”—a few hours each day when they are at their best mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. For him, it's morning. For others, it might be midday or evening.His challenge is simple: Do what you're best at when you're at your best.When he writes in his green zone, he gets exponential results. When he tries the same work in his “red zone,” productivity crashes. This principle applies to everyone—from CEOs to parents, pastors, and business owners.Stewarding energy also requires boundaries. That means saying no—not out of selfishness, but out of faithfulness.Carey explains:Saying yes to every request eventually forces you to say no to the people who matter most.Delegation is a spiritual discipline.Some opportunities, even good ones, don't align with God's call in a particular season.By categorizing his decisions—like eliminating breakfast meetings that compete with his green zone—Carey reclaimed the margin he had been missing for years.Rest Is Not a Reward—It's DesignFor many Christians, rest feels like something we “earn” after working ourselves to the edge. But biblically, rest is part of our calling.Carey describes Sabbath not just as rehab after exhaustion, but prehab—something that prepares and strengthens us for faithful work. He points to the way elite athletes build rhythms of sleep, diet, and intentional recovery before they step onto the court.Even God modeled this for us—delighting in His creation and resting not from exhaustion but from joyful completeness.For Carey, the principles of rest and margin extend well beyond the calendar.A free Saturday protects family time. A healthy emergency fund protects the home from crisis. Limits are not restrictions—they are blessings that allow us to flourish.Margin creates room to love well, give freely, and listen to God's direction.Living at Your BestCarey's journey from burnout to renewal is a grace-filled reminder: God never asked us to outrun His design.He calls us to work diligently, rest faithfully, and live within the good limits He created for our flourishing. Carey's whole story—and the principles he teaches in his book At Your Best—offer a roadmap for anyone seeking balance, health, and spiritual renewal.For more wisdom from Carey Nieuwhof, explore his book At Your Best and visit the Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast.

By 62, I'll be mostly debt-free, and since longevity doesn't run in my family, I'm wondering if it makes sense to claim early while my quality of life is higher and still work within the income limits.When should someone update their will? I'm 58, debt-free, still working, and have a solid 401(k).

Some stories come from the dead of night. Others happen under the burning Arizona sun. But in Yuma's endless stretches of agricultural fields—where the roads run dark and the palm trees tower over the dirt—something else moves. Something people keep seeing… even when they wish they hadn't. A woman driving home slammed the brakes when a pale figure stepped into her headlights—only to watch it pass cleanly through the car. Weeks later, in broad daylight, a worker swore she saw a barefoot little boy weaving through the palm trees, untouched by the blistering desert heat. And the strangest part? These aren't isolated claims. People in that same patch of land have whispered about a woman… a child… shapes darting between the trees… for years. Is it the heat? Exhaustion? Imagination? Or is something wandering those fields—seen by drivers at night and workers by day—waiting for just the right moment to be noticed? #supernaturalencounter #womaninwhite #paranormalactivity #creepyencounters #realhorrorstories #theunexplained #ghosts #ghostsightings #ghostlyactivity #hauntings #paranormal Love real ghost stories?

When the people heard of this, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he landed, he saw a large crowd, and he felt compassion for them, healing their sick. Pray that we all— you, us, our team here, and the Joshua Fund— would be moved with compassion for hurting people, those who don't know the love, hope, and healing of Jesus. Pray that the hearts of people across the Middle East and other regions are open to Jesus and that they accept Him as Lord.

3 Powerful Verses to Eliminate Exhaustion This episode is for the moms who are just plain tired, body, mind, and soul. The kind of tired that sleep doesn't touch. You're doing your best, showing up for everyone, but quietly wondering… does it have to feel this heavy all the time? In today's episode, I'm sharing three scripture verses that have been a lifeline for me, and for so many of the women I coach. These words from God are more than encouragement; they're reminders that you're not alone, and you don't have to carry it all by yourself. Here's what you'll hear: Why exhaustion doesn't mean you're failing One thing to ask when you're running on empty and don't know where to turn A scripture that will help you shift the story you're telling yourself Simple ways to bring these verses into your daily rhythm If you're in a season where exhaustion feels like the norm, I want you to know you're not alone. You're not doing it wrong. And you're not meant to carry it all without help. These verses aren't just nice words, they're real anchors you can hold onto when you're running on empty.

Many people experience a deep, lingering fatigue that isn't fixed by a full night's sleep, and it often stems from real imbalances inside the body. When mitochondria—the tiny engines that power our cells—are stressed by poor diet, toxins, infections, or lack of rest, the whole system can slow down. Ongoing stress can also disrupt the adrenal system, leaving some people feeling wired and anxious while others feel drained from morning to night. The encouraging news is that steady habits like nourishing whole foods, balanced blood sugar, restorative sleep, and gentle movement can help the body find its rhythm again. With the right support, energy often returns, and a sense of hope does, too. In this episode, I dive into, along with Dr. Izabella Wentz and Dr. Elizabeth Boham, the real roots of chronic fatigue, showing how stress, lifestyle, and hidden imbalances drain our energy—and how practical, nourishing habits can help restore it. Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto's: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto's Food Pharmacology, and Hashimoto's Protocol, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.

                                      Listen in as Erin and Rebecca discuss: Rebecca shares how she built her first real estate team while raising two babies under two—and what she learned about letting go of control. She reveals the turning point when she stopped chasing volume and started prioritizing profitability and peace of mind. Learn the mindset and systems that helped her step off the hamster wheel and finally build a business she could retire from. Rebecca opens up about walking away from a million-dollar income to rebuild intentionally—and how that decision transformed everything. Discover the mission behind her CEO Agent Academy and why real success means doing "less, better."                                             About Rebecca is a mom first — her family is her first team. She's a serial entrepreneur second. She started my real estate business in 1991. Sge was a solo agent for two years before she built her first team. With two babies under two, at 24 years old, she was in the top 2% of brokers nationally and selling 45 homes a year. Fast forward to being licensed in three other states with a 9-year stint abroad, and several years in leadership with two luxury brands. 10 years ago, she didn't just step into a new market—she built a seven-figure real estate business from scratch using the exact systems she's here to share with you. After 30+ years in the industry, Rebecca knows one thing for sure: success is not about the grind—it's about working smarter, building to scale, and being profitable. Rebecca helps real estate agents, team leads, and brokerages create systems that generate leads, streamline operations, and scale revenue—without burning out. She's candid and has a no-frills approach, both in business and in life. Feeding people is her love language — She's a sucker for good wine, can make a mean Paloma, and wants every meal to feel like an exquisite dinner party — whether it's just her husband with her at the kitchen island, a house full of kids, or a room full of friends + neighbors. Rebecca sees renovation projects in almost every piece of furniture or space she encounters — indoors or out. Her current obsessions are gardening and our chickens. Let's talk authenticity, systems, collaboration, coffee, travel, and good design. Rebecca fully believes we are the architects of our destiny and every day presents a new opportunity to improve!  How to Connect With Rebecca Website: https://www.rebeccagreen.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-green-real-estate/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rebeccagreen.co Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebeccagreen.co/

When people start coughing and sniffling, we blame “cold and flu season.” But the truth? There is no “season” for viruses — there is a season where our nervous systems move into exhaustion mode.In this episode, Dr. Paula Ruffin and Dr. Erica Peabody break down how chiropractic care supports your body's internal operating system — the neuro-immune network that determines how resilient you are under stress, through winter, and during times when everyone around you is getting sick.No hype. No immune-boosting myths.Just clear, science-informed conversation on how the body heals from the inside out.And yes… that IS sexy.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton unpack one of the most deceptive beliefs in first responder culture (Amazon Affiliate) — that the next promotion will make things better. Many responders chase advancement believing that more authority, a new title, or a higher paycheck will finally bring peace. But often, the opposite happens. The pressure grows, the politics intensify, and the burnout that once hid beneath the surface follows you straight into your new office. This episode explores the hidden psychological trap behind "The Promotion Illusion" and what it really takes to find fulfillment that rank alone can't provide.
