Welcome to the Grief Series, a collection of conversations about the grief woven throughout our lives with some extraordinary women bringing their raw, vulnerable stories to the mic. I hope you see yourself somewhere in these stories.…This episode is for anyone carrying grief that doesn't have an obvious name. My guest, Chrissy Powers, is a therapist, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy practitioner, and someone who has personally held space for me in some of my own deepest healing work. We talk about the grief that lives inside a marriage you're still in, the mourning of watching your children grow up, the loss that comes with deconstructing your religious upbringing, and what it actually takes to feel your way through grief instead of solving your way around it.TOPICS WE EXPLOREComplicated grief vs. the grief we're taught is acceptableGrieving inside a marriage you haven't leftWatching a partner struggle and the ultimatum that protects your familyThe invisible loss of your children growing upOutgrowing a partner who isn't on the same healing pathRaising emotionally literate sons in a culture that discourages itDeconstructing religious upbringing and what it costsFinding a guide, trusting your body, and reclaiming intuitionTHE POINTGrief isn't reserved for death. It lives inside the marriages we stay in, the children we watch grow, and the beliefs we outgrow, and the only way through any of it is to feel it instead of fix it.ABOUT CHRISSYChrissy Powers is a licensed therapist and the founder of Paradigm Wellness Collective, a group practice in Southern California.

Most leaders are trained to perform, strategize, and execute, but there's one skill almost nobody teaches, and it's the difference between leaders who get compliance and leaders who earn devotion. It's called presence, and it has surprisingly little to do with focus.In this episode, Josh sits down with high performance coach Dr. Mark Matthews to break down the Present Protocol, a framework for leading with deep presence at work and at home. Here's what they get into:The "leadership gap" almost no one talks about, and why being focused on someone is not the same as being present with themThe one-line distinction between focus and presence that reframes how you show up as a leaderThe two phases of the Present Protocol, starting with the four capacities of deep presence that most high performers skip right pastWhy presence is the antidote to the loneliness so many founders feel even when they're surrounded by a team every dayThe skill that separates leaders who manage people from leaders who actually move themHow Josh is applying this in the three "home base" areas of his life: his team, his customers, and his familyThe hardest capacity to master, the one that asks you to suspend judgment in real time (Josh shares a 6:30 a.m. story from that very morning)This isn't woo woo, and it isn't another time management hack. It's the relational skill that changes how your team, your customers, and your family experience you. If you've ever felt present on paper but somehow still not connected, this is the episode that makes it click.Connect with Dr. Mark Matthews on Instagram @facemyfear or on LinkedIn as Dr. Mark Matthews.

The transcripts from Howard Lutnick's closed-door appearance before Congress painted a picture of a witness trying to minimize both the depth and duration of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein while lawmakers confronted him with records suggesting far more contact than he had previously acknowledged. Lutnick repeatedly described his interactions with Epstein as “inconsequential,” insisting he only met with him a handful of times and claiming he cut ties after a disturbing 2005 interaction inside Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. According to the testimony, Lutnick said Epstein made sexually suggestive comments about massages during that visit, which he claimed immediately disgusted both him and his wife. However, members of the House Oversight Committee confronted him with emails, schedules, and business records showing contact continuing years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, including meetings at Epstein's townhouse, discussions involving a shared business venture, and a 2012 lunch visit to Epstein's private island alongside Lutnick's familyThe transcripts also showed lawmakers growing increasingly frustrated with what they viewed as evasive answers and shifting explanations from Lutnick as more documentation was placed in front of him. Democrats in particular accused him of misleading the public for years about the true extent of the relationship, especially after previously portraying Epstein as little more than a casual acquaintance. Lutnick attempted to explain away the continued contact by claiming the encounters were brief, social, or business-related and that he never witnessed any criminal behavior or saw underage girls around Epstein. He also reportedly walked back previous public comments suggesting Epstein blackmailed powerful people, telling lawmakers he had only been speculating and had no firsthand knowledge of such activity. Republicans on the committee largely defended Lutnick and argued Democrats were trying to weaponize the hearing politically, while critics argued the testimony further demonstrated how many powerful figures continued associating with Epstein long after his criminal conduct was already publicly known.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:HGO126550 Lutnick Draft-pdf2_Redacted-Update_RedactedV3.pdf

The transcripts from Howard Lutnick's closed-door appearance before Congress painted a picture of a witness trying to minimize both the depth and duration of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein while lawmakers confronted him with records suggesting far more contact than he had previously acknowledged. Lutnick repeatedly described his interactions with Epstein as “inconsequential,” insisting he only met with him a handful of times and claiming he cut ties after a disturbing 2005 interaction inside Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. According to the testimony, Lutnick said Epstein made sexually suggestive comments about massages during that visit, which he claimed immediately disgusted both him and his wife. However, members of the House Oversight Committee confronted him with emails, schedules, and business records showing contact continuing years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, including meetings at Epstein's townhouse, discussions involving a shared business venture, and a 2012 lunch visit to Epstein's private island alongside Lutnick's familyThe transcripts also showed lawmakers growing increasingly frustrated with what they viewed as evasive answers and shifting explanations from Lutnick as more documentation was placed in front of him. Democrats in particular accused him of misleading the public for years about the true extent of the relationship, especially after previously portraying Epstein as little more than a casual acquaintance.

However, members of the House Oversight Committee confronted him with emails, schedules, and business records showing contact continuing years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, including meetings at Epstein's townhouse, discussions involving a shared business venture, and a 2012 lunch visit to Epstein's private island alongside Lutnick's familyThe transcripts also showed lawmakers growing increasingly frustrated with what they viewed as evasive answers and shifting explanations from Lutnick as more documentation was placed in front of him. Democrats in particular accused him of misleading the public for years about the true extent of the relationship, especially after previously portraying Epstein as little more than a casual acquaintance. Lutnick attempted to explain away the continued contact by claiming the encounters were brief, social, or business-related and that he never witnessed any criminal behavior or saw underage girls around Epstein. He also reportedly walked back previous public comments suggesting Epstein blackmailed powerful people, telling lawmakers he had only been speculating and had no firsthand knowledge of such activity. Republicans on the committee largely defended Lutnick and argued Democrats were trying to weaponize the hearing politically, while critics argued the testimony further demonstrated how many powerful figures continued associating with Epstein long after his criminal conduct was already publicly known.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:HGO126550 Lutnick Draft-pdf2_Redacted-Update_RedactedV3.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
The transcripts from Howard Lutnick's closed-door appearance before Congress painted a picture of a witness trying to minimize both the depth and duration of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein while lawmakers confronted him with records suggesting far more contact than he had previously acknowledged.

I'm getting really personal in this one. After 13 years of living abroad, moving to Spain with my husband and daughter, and having multiple team members living in the same city... I still felt lonely. And I didn't know how to admit it.In this completely unscripted episode, I share what it's actually been like coming back to Málaga after being gone for three months, diving straight into bootcamp mode, and realizing that my business manager Evan had built this entire social life while I was gone… and I was jealous.I talk about the moment I finally admitted to Evan that I felt left out and lonely, and what happened when I did. Spoiler: he told me he felt lonely too, even with all those friends. And that conversation changed everything.What I cover:Why loneliness can happen even when you move abroad with a partner or familyThe scary moment I asked Evan to introduce me to his friends (and why it felt so awkward)How I forced myself to reach out to three people I'd only met once or twice (and what happened)Why we hold ourselves back from being vulnerable about lonelinessThe difference between locals and other expats when it comes to building communityHow admitting "I have no friends" at a meetup actually helped me make friendsMy "big asks" practice and how asking for what you need (even socially) is worth the discomfortThe big lesson: Loneliness abroad isn't a sign you made the wrong choice. It's a sign you're human. And the solution isn't going back home, it's reaching out.This episode is raw, honest, and probably the most vulnerable I've been on the podcast. If you've ever felt lonely (or you're worried you will when you move), this one's for you.Subscribe and ReviewIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

She shares what inspired that decision, what it felt like to be older than many of her classmates, and how the academic rigor sharpened her writing and strengthened her discipline.We also talk about her nearly 27-year marriage to Duff McKagan of Guns N Roses. How they met on a blind date, what keeps their relationship strong, and what it was really like raising two daughters while navigating life on tour. Susan offers an honest look at the pros and challenges of being married in the rock and roll world and why longevity in love, just like career, requires intention and growth.In this episode, we discuss:Why Susan chose to go to Harvard Graduate School in her 40s after a successful modeling careerWhat it felt like to be the outlier in the classroomHow her writing sharpened and evolved after graduate schoolHow she met Duff McKagan and built a lasting marriage in rock and rollWhat tour life was like while raising a familyThe importance of taking leaps of faith at any ageWhy following your passion matters more than playing it safeHow benefiting from the long game leads to lasting successFor more on Susan Holmes McKagan, follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanholmesmckagan/?hl=en Twitter/X: https://x.com/SuHolmesMcKagan Susan's book, The Velvet Rose: https://a.co/d/0cZfZwW8 Three Chords & The Truth: https://duffmckagan.com/radio-show/ Thanks to my Sponsors:Ritual: Save 25% on your first month at Ritual.com/OVER50 Hers: If you want clearer insight into your health, go to https://ForHers.com and schedule your labsAudible: Go to Audible.com/BigAgeSeries to start listening todayHoneylove: Save 20% off Honeylove at Honeylove.com/OVER50 Manukora: Head to Manukora.com/FLOURISHING to save up to 31% plus $25 worth of free giftsBloom Nutrition: Go to bloomnu.com and use code OVER50 for 20% off your first order.
