https://youtu.be/k_iB97pDFGA https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/June-5th.mp3   There is a silent but devastating crisis actively destroying men from the inside out, and it has absolutely nothing to do with external circumstances. It has nothing to do with a bad economy, a failed business, an unexpected diagnosis, or a job that evaporated overnight. The crisis is happening inside the chest of men who did everything right — who worked hard, sacrificed, prayed, and planned — and still watched it fall apart. We hear the same exhausted, confused sentiment from men all over the country: "I did everything right, Lord. Where are you in this?" They built a plan. They believed in the plan. And then the plan got wrecked. What follows that wreckage — the bitterness, the identity collapse, the spiritual paralysis — is where the real damage is done. Letting go of control and trusting God is the most counterintuitive thing a driven man will ever be asked to do. The modern definition of success has completely sold men on the idea that the right plan plus the right effort equals the right outcome. We have been handed a transactional faith — pray, work, sacrifice, and God owes you the life you drew up. But that is not the deal. Proverbs 16:9 cuts through that illusion with brutal clarity: "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." That verse is not a comfort card. It is a direct challenge to every man who has mistaken his roadmap for God's will. This article is about what letting go of control and trusting God actually looks like in the middle of the wreckage — not on the other side of it. Quick Answers What does letting go of control and trusting God mean for men? Letting go of control and trusting God means releasing your grip on outcomes you were never designed to manage and actively choosing faith over the illusion of control. It does not mean abandoning planning or effort. It means holding your plans loosely enough that when God redirects, you move rather than dig in. It is an act of aggressive, daily surrender — not passive resignation. How do you trust God when your plans fall apart? You start by separating your identity from your circumstances. A failed plan is not a failed man, and a closed door is not God's rejection of you — it is often His protection of you. Practically, trusting God in uncertainty means staying in Scripture, staying connected to your church, and taking the one next step He is showing you rather than demanding the full blueprint before you move. The Identity Crash: When Your Plan Becomes Who You Are Men do not just build plans. They build their identity into those plans. The business was not just a business — it was proof of competence, proof of provision, proof of worth. The job title was not just a paycheck — it was the answer to the question "Who are you?" So when the plan collapses, it does not feel like a setback. It feels like a death. And that is exactly where the enemy wants to keep you — convinced that a failed plan means a failed man. Letting go of control and trusting God begins with a brutal, necessary truth: you were never the one in control. You believed you were. The calendar, the five-year plan, the savings account — all of it created the comfortable illusion that you were piloting this thing. But God establishes your steps, not your spreadsheet. The illusion of control is not a harmless personality trait. It is a form of functional idolatry, and when the plan fails, that idol gets exposed. The crash is not God punishing you. The crash is God removing a false foundation so He can build something that will actually hold. Look at Joseph. He had a dream — God-given, not self-generated — and instead of a straight line to the throne, he got a pit, a slave market, and a prison cell. None of that was his plan. All of it was God's sovereign plan. The same thread runs through Moses, through Paul, through every man in Scripture who was used significantly by God. The path went through suffering and disorientation before it arrived at purpose. That pattern is not a bug in the system. It is the design. The Bitterness Trap: Processing Disappointment Without Poisoning Your Soul Disappointment is not the problem. Unprocessed disappointment becomes the problem. When a man grips a failed plan long enough — refusing to release it, rehearsing what should have been, nursing the wound — it calcifies into bitterness. And bitterness is one of the most spiritually devastating forces in a man's life because it is almost entirely invisible until it has already done catastrophic damage. You are not angry, you tell yourself. You are just realistic. You are just protecting yourself from more of the same. Letting go of control and trusting God requires you to actually feel the loss. Not perform gratitude over it. Not spiritually bypass it with a verse and a smile. Acknowledge it directly: "This hurt. This was not what I wanted. I am disappointed." That is honest, and God can work with honest. What He cannot easily reach is the man who has quietly decided that God let him down and built a wall around that conviction, because that wall does not just keep out pain — it keeps out everything. Every future move God tries to make runs directly into that wall. The Psalms are full of this kind of raw, unfiltered prayer. David did not politely thank God while running for his life from Saul. He poured it out. He asked the hard questions. He let the grief be real. And then — not immediately, but eventually — he came back to "Nevertheless, You are God, and I trust You." That is the model. Trusting God in uncertainty does not mean pretending the uncertainty does not hurt. It means walking through the hurt without letting it become the final verdict on God's character or yours. Control Versus Surrender: Who Is Actually Driving There are two postures a man can take when his plans get wrecked. The first is to white-knuckle it — rework the plan, adjust the variables, push harder, sleep less, and refuse to release the steering wheel. This is incredibly common among high-functioning men who have conditioned themselves to believe that the right response to any setback is more effort, more control, more planning. The second posture is surrender — not the passive, give-up-and-quit kind, but the deliberate, costly decision to hand the wheel to God and trust that He actually knows where you are going. Letting go of control and trusting God is not the same as letting go of effort or responsibility. You still work. You still plan. But you hold the plan loosely — in pencil, not in stone. The distinction is entirely internal. It is the difference between a man who prays "Lord, bless my plan" and a man who prays "Lord, what is Your plan?" One of those prayers is asking God to rubber-stamp what you already decided. The other is genuinely open to a different answer. God's sovereign plan and your preferred plan are often two completely different routes to the same destination — and His route will take you through terrain you never would have chosen, but absolutely needed. David modeled this repeatedly. When he was on the run, outmanned, and making military decisions that could get people killed, he constantly asked God whether to advance against an enemy. He did not assume. He did not execute his tactical plan and ask God to cover it after the fact. He sought direction at every step. That kind of trusting God in uncertainty is not weakness. It is the most masculine form of wisdom available to you. Sovereign Redirection: Closed Doors Are Not Punishments The hardest part of letting go of control and trusting God is accepting that a closed door can be an act of protection. When you are standing in front of a door that just got slammed in your face, it does not feel protective. It feels devastating. It feels like rejection. It feels, in the worst moments, like God simply does not care. But the closed door between you and the wrong outcome is one of the most merciful things God can do for a man. Consider what a hurricane wrecked in a family's life and what it ultimately built. Displacement. Evacuation. A year and a half in a city that never felt like home. A long road back to something that looked nothing like the original plan. And at the end of that road: new community, new purpose, new work that would not have existed without the forced detour. That is God's sovereign plan in action — not a comfortable cruise toward a preset destination, but a radical redirection that could not have happened any other way. You would not have chosen the path. You would have argued with it. But you cannot see the whole route. That is the point. Jonah is the most clarifying picture of what happens when a man tries to outrun God's sovereign plan. He did not like his assignment and ran from it. God redirected him anyway. The destination did not change. Only the amount of misery Jonah accumulated on the way there. That is still one of the truest portraits in Scripture of what resistance to God's redirection actually costs — and why letting go of control and trusting God, painful as it is, is always the better path. Trusting God in Uncertainty: The Discipline That Holds You You cannot hear God's voice in a crisis if you have not been building the habit of listening before the crisis. This is the thing most men miss. They want divine clarity in the moment of maximum pressure, but they have not been cultivating a relationship with God in the quiet moments that makes that kind of directional trust possible. Trusting God in uncertainty is not a crisis skill — it is a daily discipline that either exists before the storm or does not exist at all. That means the Word, consistently. Prayer that is honest, not performative. Accountability with other men who will tell you the truth when your bitterness is showing. Research from the Barna Group consistently shows that men engaged in

Ready to begin your journey of healing? It's time to reclaim your life with elite and discreet premium psychotherapy with Dr. Gregory T. Obert;

Most relationships do not end because two people suddenly stop loving each other. More often, relationships slowly become disconnected through repeated misunderstandings, emotional triggers, unresolved resentment, and communication patterns that quietly erode trust over time.In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder welcomes back Nancy Perpall to discuss her new book, The Malnourished Marriage, and the powerful food metaphor she uses to explain what relationships truly need to survive and thrive.After more than three decades as a divorce attorney, Nancy shares why she shifted her focus from helping people end marriages to helping couples better understand how relationships break down in the first place. Drawing from both science and real-world experience, she explains how the early dopamine-driven stage of relationships often blinds people to issues that later become major points of conflict once everyday life takes over.The conversation explores the emotional “nutrients” that relationships require, including communication, trust, compromise, intimacy, laughter, and emotional safety. Nancy explains why communication functions like water in a relationship and how words can either flow or crash depending on how people approach difficult conversations.Together, they also unpack the role childhood core wounds play in adult relationships and why people often unknowingly trigger each other's deepest insecurities during moments of stress or conflict. Rather than viewing compromise as weakness, Nancy reframes it as compassion and understanding for another person's perspective.Nancy highlights how:• Early relationship chemistry often masks incompatibilities and unresolved issues• Communication can either create connection or intensify emotional damage, depending on how words are used• Childhood core wounds frequently influence adult relationship dynamics and conflict patterns• Compromise is not weakness but compassion for another person's perspective• Laughter, playfulness, and emotional intimacy are essential parts of long-term relationship healthAbout the Guest:Nancy Perpall began her professional career as a critical care nurse. Dedicated to instituting better patient outcomes she contributed to a textbook, Advanced Concepts In Clinical Nursing (J.B. Lippincott). However, to get the rural hospital she was working at to accept those protocols she was told that since she was not a doctor, who were the only ones who could change protocols, she should go to law school since "people listen to lawyers". As a nurse-attorney, Nancy has appeared on radio shows, podcasts, and TV and has published extensively.To connect with Nancy: Website: https://nancyperpall.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancyperpall/About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in mediation, divorce coaching and conflict resolution, she supports clients in making smart decisions while reducing emotional and financial fallout, particularly in high-conflict, high-asset and complex divorces.

Send us Fan MailOne missing step can turn a “sold” sign into two weeks of stress, renegotiation, and a buyer who wants to walk. We've been living that reality on the buyer side lately, and it's made one thing painfully clear: skipping a pre-listing inspection is one of the easiest ways to create surprise, fear, and price cuts.Rowena Patton, Deanna Allen, and Kelly Denney break down what really happens after a contract goes under agreement, when due diligence begins and the home inspection report drops 40 to 60 items on the table. We talk through the inspection problems that consistently derail deals, from galvanized pipes and outdated wiring to deck safety issues, septic root intrusion, and the big red-flag photos buyers hate most: crawl space moisture and “fungal growth.” Even when the fix is straightforward, the uncertainty can push buyers toward environmental testing, bigger credits, or walking away entirely.We also connect the inspection chaos to today's housing market reality: prices softening, interest rates rising, and buyers already nervous about overpaying. That's why we keep coming back to the certified pre-owned home method, a proactive approach that puts the seller inspection up front, builds trust through transparency, and reduces the odds of a contract falling apart. We close with why home warranties don't replace inspections, and what sellers can do right now to protect their net proceeds and their peace of mind.Subscribe for more real-world real estate strategy, share this with a seller who's on the fence, and leave a review with your biggest home inspection surprise so we can talk about it on a future show.

Strip away the financial crimes and what does the prosecution actually have? That's not a rhetorical question anymore. The South Carolina Supreme Court made it real when they overturned the conviction and said the twelve hours of stolen-money testimony can't come back in.Now SLED's investigation has to stand on its own. The crime scene was rain-soaked and walked through by family. There's no murder weapon. There's no DNA linking Alex Murdaugh to the killings. And there's a housekeeper who says she gave investigators a lead about a suspicious vehicle near the property — close to where Paul kept his firearms — and it went nowhere.Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke bring decades of combined investigative experience to this conversation. They break down what SLED's handling of that vehicle lead signals about the broader investigation, why Harpootlian's post-ruling comments about reluctant witnesses and subpoenas aren't throwaway lines, and what happens when the defense puts Blanca Simpson's shifting accounts under a microscope.They also walk through the two-shooter scenario multiple SLED agents couldn't rule out at the first trial and why the defense will push it harder this time. The biggest question hanging over everything: does Alex Murdaugh's lie about being at the kennels still land with a jury that hasn't been primed by days of financial devastation?

Episode 76 of the Unspoken Words podcast features Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and Dr. Jenna Blum tackling one of the most misunderstood realities of Selective Mutism — the difficult behaviors that so often surface alongside it. Meltdowns, shutdowns, avoidance, and controlling moments leave many parents exhausted, and Dr. E and Dr. Jenna make the case that none of these behaviors are defiance. They are communication.Dr. E and Dr. Jenna explore why so many children with SM hold it together at school and fall apart at home, and why structure, consistency, routine, and predictability are non-negotiable for any anxious child. Through real case examples — a six-year-old hiding under the table at her own birthday party, a teen retreating to his room when relatives visit, a young client frozen in front of a beloved family friend — they walk through the four types of difficult behaviors and what each is trying to say.The middle of the episode turns to practical strategy: the Look-Listen-Learn framework, the roadmap method for preparing children before overwhelming events, and bridging down on the Social Communication Bridge® so kids build comfort before words. They also dig into the underlying contributors that drive dysregulation — sensory sensitivities, ADHD, hunger, fatigue, and the parent's own agenda.The episode closes on the feelings chart — a deceptively simple tool that gives children numerical language for emotions they can't yet explain — and on the truth that parents are the most critical component in their child's progress.

This week kicks off a three-part series on planning, and it starts where every planning conversation should: with honesty about why plans fall apart in the first place. Pete opens with his own cascading construction disaster at home, where raccoon damage set off a chain reaction of disruptions that has bled directly into his work life. Nikki's diagnosis is both simple and profound: when you make a plan, you're trying to predict the future with the information you have right now. When that future doesn't cooperate, the real problem isn't the plan failing. It's that we treat plan failure like a personal failure.From there, Nikki walks through the full spectrum of executive function challenges that make ADHD planning uniquely hard: time blindness that operates at every scale from individual task to entire month, working memory that drops the ball the moment you turn around, prioritization paralysis where everything feels equally urgent, the cognitive inflexibility that turns one bad morning into a ruined day, emotional regulation struggles and the sharp edge of RSD when disappointing someone is unavoidable, and sustained attention that evaporates the moment your environment gets interesting. At the center of it all is what Pete calls “fantasy Pete,” the imaginary version of himself who wields time like a saber and never lets anyone down, and whom nobody would actually like at a party.The antidote isn't a better system. It's moving from shame to curiosity. Nikki's framework: instead of asking what's wrong with you, ask what your brain actually needs. Find the friction. Learn your own flavor of ADHD. Build in margin so that when things go sideways, you have something left in the tank for recovery. The episode closes on Pete's central paradox, the one he returns to with clients again and again: it's not your fault, but it is yours. You didn't design this brain. But you're the one who has to work with it, and building that muscle, one honest conversation at a time, is exactly what this trilogy is for.If this episode hit close to home, we made something to help it land a little deeper. Your Planning Reflection is a free companion guide—just four honest questions to help you connect what you heard to what's actually happening in your own life. No productivity exercise. No grade at the end. Just a quiet moment to start paying attention. Links & NotesLattice by Pete D.

BUY MARK'S BOOK! The Evolving Man: Life Virtues Men Don't Talk About https://bit.ly/TheEvolvingMan Most men think they're ready for retirement, but few are prepared for what comes next. In this episode, we explore the silent threat that derailed my own father's retirement: retirement drift. It's what happens when you lose your sense of purpose, routine, identity, and community, and it can leave you feeling unfulfilled, isolated, or worse. We talk candidly about how retirement can be harder for men, especially those who built their identities around their careers. You'll learn the five key areas to focus on: identity, routine, health, social life, and mental sharpness to avoid drifting and build a life you're excited to wake up to every day. This isn't about coasting, it's about taking charge of your next chapter. #retirement_transformed #retirementcouple #retirement#retirement_transformed #retirementcouple #retirement BUY MARK'S BOOK!

Start Here: https://breakingupwithbingeeating.transistor.fm/start-herePick the listening path that fits what you're dealing with right now.This episode is about the moment before things fully blow up—not the binge itself, and not the morning-after panic, but the point where you start to feel… off. When your schedule changes (weekends, travel, illness, late nights, company), the day can lose its scaffolding and pressure quietly accumulates until eating starts to feel urgent and chaotic. You'll learn why “anchors” matter—regular meals, transitions, and small rhythms that reduce uncertainty—and what to do when those anchors disappear. The core tool is helping the day “land” more gently: creating one clear pause where forward motion stops, nothing urgent is required, and choice can come back online. You'll also hear practical examples of what that landing looks like (sitting down to eat, plating food, taking five quiet minutes, changing clothes to mark a transition, deciding when the day is done) and how to use as many small pauses as you need—because staying steady on a disrupted day isn't about discipline, it's about responsiveness. Try this week: On the first day you notice the slide starting, don't try to “reset perfectly.” Choose one small anchor and one landing pause, and treat it as support—not a test.

What if your biggest retirement risk isn’t the market—but a plan that was never really a plan at all? In this episode, Jim Fox uses a sports analogy to explain why “sticking the landing” in retirement is harder than saving the money in the first place. He breaks down how decades of product‑driven decisions can leave retirees with a confusing mix of investments that don’t align with their goals. Jim focuses on simplifying complexity, aligning income, taxes, and legacy planning, and replacing hope‑based strategies with clarity before retirement forces tough choices.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Why are more agencies selling right now? If this trend has made you think about selling, is it because the market is hot… or because you've outgrown your role? If you're seriously thinking about selling your business, you should know that it'll ultimately come down to whether it can survive without you, and whether you want it to. Today's featured guest breaks down what's really driving the surge in agency acquisitions right now. He goes beyond surface-level multiples and unpacks what buyers actually look for, why most founders sabotage deals during diligence, and how AI is quietly separating premium agencies from the rest. This conversation will challenge how you think about growth, ownership, and your role in the business. Azim Nagree leads M&A Origination at Herringbone Digital, a private equity-backed platform acquiring and scaling digital marketing agencies. Originally trained as an M&A lawyer in Australia, Azim quickly realized he didn't enjoy the legal side of deals, but loved the strategy and deal-making behind them. Over the past 5–6 years, he's focused exclusively on agency acquisitions, working with founders navigating exits, partnerships, and scale. He brings an operator-meets-investor perspective, understanding both what founders want and what buyers actually value. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why are PE firms interested in agencies? 3 filters most agencies won't pass.

The Real Reason Agencies Are Getting Acquired Right Now There's a massive misconception in the market that agency acquisitions are happening because agencies suddenly became more attractive. That's not the full picture. What's actually happening is a capital problem, not an agency problem. Private equity is sitting on over $1 trillion dollars of unallocated capital. That money has to be deployed. And agencies, when structured correctly, check a lot of boxes: recurring revenue, strong margins, and fragmented markets ripe for consolidation. That's why you're seeing more deals. Not because every agency is valuable, but because capital is aggressively looking for places to go. However, you can't assume that just because deals are happening, your agency is ready to be bought. It's likely not. Buyers aren't just looking for revenue. They're looking for structure, predictability, and independence from the founder. If your business still relies on you for sales, delivery decisions, or client retention, it's not an asset. It's a job with revenue attached. And buyers know the difference immediately. 3 Filters Every Serious Buyer Uses Most founders think deals come down to valuation. In reality, every serious buyer is evaluating three things before they even care about price: 1. Strategic Fit Why does this deal exist? If there's no clear reason, new market, new capability, better economics, it's dead on arrival. Buying (or selling) just because it "feels like the right time" is how bad deals happen. 2. Cultural Fit This is the one founders underestimate the most. You're not just selling a business. You're entering a relationship that could last years. If there's friction early, it doesn't get better later. And forcing alignment for the sake of a deal almost always ends badly. 3. Financial Reality This is where the truth shows up. You can't "position" your way past bad numbers. Buyers will find churn issues, margin leaks, and unstable revenue during diligence. Trying to hide it just wastes months, and kills trust. The strongest sellers aren't perfect. They're transparent. The Silent Deal Killer: Founder Behavior During Diligence Here's something most people won't tell you: Deals don't usually fall apart because of numbers. They fall apart because of founder behavior during the process. Diligence takes 3–6 months. And during that time, many founders mentally check out. They assume the deal is done and take their foot off the gas. They start thinking in terms of "their problem soon, not mine." That's where things break, clients churn, and revenue dips. Key employees sense uncertainty and start looking elsewhere. And suddenly, the business the buyer evaluated is not the business that exists anymore. From the buyer's perspective, that's a red flag. The rule is simple: Run the business like you're never selling it, even when you are. Ironically, that's what makes it sellable in the first place. The Real Question: Should You Sell? Selling isn't just a financial decision. It's also a personal one. The best founders who sell have clarity on two things: What they want to do next Whether they've truly outgrown their current role  Regarding the first one, there's no wrong answer. Some buyers are looking to transition the founder out of the business in just 3-6 months. Some are looking for founders who want to stick around for a few years. The important thing is to be honest about your plans. Without that clarity, selling often creates more problems than it solves. Because removing yourself from the business doesn't automatically create purpose. AI Isn't Increasing Valuations. Bad Thinking Is Lowering Them A lot of PE firms are buying agencies based on their use of AI. Now, what these firms are looking for is AI as strategy, and using ChatGPT for content is not a strategy. That's a tool. Buyers don't care if you use AI tools. They care if AI shows up in your business fundamentals. This means that effective use of AI would show up in: Higher margins  Lower cost of delivery  Increased retention  Better client outcomes  Faster execution  If AI isn't impacting those metrics, it's irrelevant. The agencies commanding higher multiples right now aren't "AI agencies." They're system-driven agencies using AI to enhance leverage. They've embedded AI into workflows, decision-making, and delivery, not just content creation. A powerful example shared in the episode: One agency built a custom AI model for every client using all available data, sales conversations, onboarding insights, business goals. That model informs everything: Campaign strategy Reporting Communication style Execution  The result is that every client feels like the only client, without increasing workload. That's leverage. And that's what buyers pay for. Ultimately, most founders understand they need to wrap their heads around the use of AI as a strategic advantage. Whether they're really doing it or not is another issue. So ask yourself if, other than requiring your team to use AI, you're actually investing in it, whether through training, creating roles centered on AI experimentation, or providing resources to support that learning curve. If not, you won't actually affect the metrics that matter. The Bottom Line on Agency Acquisitions The agencies that sell well aren't lucky. They're structured. They've built: Predictable revenue  Strong margins  Low founder dependency  Systems that scale  Selling is just a byproduct of that. Want to Know If Your Agency Is Actually Sellable? If you're thinking about selling, or just want to build a more valuable, less dependent agency, you need to understand where your bottlenecks actually are at a structural level. If you want to map that out with real numbers, real operators, and a proven sequence, the next step is simple: Join a room where this is the standard, not the exception.

Have you ever started your day with a solid plan only to have it completely unravel before 9am?  Maybe it's a last-minute dentist appointment, a sick kid at home, a forgotten lunch that needs to be dropped off, or just trying to get everyone out the door on time and something goes sideways. Suddenly, your carefully planned schedule is thrown off, your timeline shifts, and you feel like you're playing catch-up for the rest of the day.  And if you're anything like most busy moms, it's not just one thing—it's multiple interruptions, back-to-back, all pulling you away from what you thought your day was going to look like.

If you've ever found yourself doing “so good” during the week, only to end up in the pantry, at the drive-thru, or on the couch with food by Thursday night or the weekend, this episode is for you.In this final episode of the eating archetype series, I'm breaking down two patterns that many women think are the real problem: the Escape Seeker and the Emotional Absorber. But these patterns are rarely the root cause. More often, they're the result of perfectionism, restriction, overworking, emotional overload, and a nervous system that has been carrying too much for too long.We talk about why emotional eating and stress eating are not character flaws, why food becomes such a reliable source of relief, and how diet culture keeps women stuck in the cycle of control, guilt, and starting over. I also share how unprocessed emotions build up in the body, why that matters more than most women realize, and how Human Design can offer another layer of understanding around the way you process emotions.This episode is about seeing the pattern underneath the pattern. Because when you stop making food the enemy, you finally get to look at what your body has actually been asking for.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the Escape Seeker and Emotional Absorber are often symptoms, not the real problemHow perfectionism, restriction, and overworking create the urge to escape with foodWhy emotional eating is often a nervous system response, not a lack of disciplineWhy food becomes the fastest and most reliable form of comfort and reliefThe difference between the woman who waits until the end of the week to “break” and the woman who disconnects and eats in the momentHow Human Design can help you better understand the way you experience emotionsWhat it actually looks like to stop fighting your body and start listening to itKey TakeawaysEmotional eating is rarely the beginning of the story. It is often the consequence of pressure, control, exhaustion, and emotional buildup.Food is not the problem. For many women, food has simply become the most efficient way to access comfort, relief, energy, or escape.The body has to metabolize emotions just like it metabolizes food. When it doesn't, that emotional load starts to build.Restriction leads to rebellion. Overcontrol often creates the exact “loss of control” women are afraid of.You do not end this cycle by becoming more disciplined. You end it by understanding what created the need to cope in the first place.Who This Episode Is ForWomen who feel in control around food during the week but unravel by the weekendWomen who emotionally eat, stress eat, or use food to cope and want to understand whyHigh-achieving women who are exhausted from trying to manage their bodiesWomen over 35 who feel more overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected in their bodiesMothers, entrepreneurs, and caregivers carrying a heavy emotional loadWomen who are ready to stop blaming themselves and start understanding their patternsResources MentionedFed UpA free live 3-day experience for midlife women who are fed up with diet culture, body frustration, and trying to force change through more discipline.Inside, we'll walk through the stress-hormone-weight cycle and help you understand why your body feels the way it does, what it's been asking for, and what to do next.Begins March 31Register here: melissaeichwellness.com/fed-upOr DM FED UP on Instagram and I'll send you the link.

What if every impression you made at work was as powerful as your first? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, Vinay Koshy speaks with serial entrepreneur, sales leader, and author Glenn Poulos. Glenn's three-decade journey from technical sales rep to building and selling companies is packed with real-world wisdom.

This is Part 3 of our 3-part Exit Series.In Episode 175, we addressed clarifying your motivation before going to market. In Episode 176, we unpacked financial readiness, valuation, and Quality of Earnings (QoE).After signing a Letter of Intent (LOI), sellers enter an intense period of risk evaluation where buyers examine financials, contracts, employee retention, operational systems, and legal exposure. Many transactions fail at this stage — not because the business lacks value, but because risk is uncovered, preparation was incomplete, or expectations were misaligned.In this episode, we explain what due diligence actually is, why so many deals fall apart late in the process, how risk discovery leads to retrading, and how deal fatigue and seller overwhelm derail transactions. We discuss owner dependence, key employee concentration, the difference between documented and functioning SOPs, how buyers assess culture and retention, and why legal structure and indemnification exposure matter more than most sellers realize. We also address the most common reason deals fail — seller hesitation — and what due diligence realistically feels like from the inside.If you are considering an exit, this conversation will help you approach the process with clarity, preparation, and realistic expectations.Download the Leadership Guide in the show notes or subscribe to receive it automatically with each new episode release.
