Via G is a New Orleans creator (yes, the baby bangs) who spent her twenties moving from one 18-month relationship to the next, and the last one looked perfect on paper: he cooked, he could match her financially, and he carried the fatherly energy of a man who already knew how everything should be done. Her body figured it out before she did. Her cycle unraveled over the year they were together, and not long after she ended it (20 minutes and six seconds, start to finish) her hormone test came back with perfect scores. Via walks Shan through the slow disappearing act in between (the gray sweatpants, the running commentary on how she cut onions, a moment of coercion she didn't have language for until a friend named it), and then the year of saying yes to herself that followed: cutting her own bangs on camera, walking into pool parties alone to make girlfriends, and buying the Bronco she'd been talked out of. Shan offers a frame for why "daddy knows best" can feel like love when you grew up without one. This one is for anyone who has shrunk to fit someone and is ready to be loud again. _______ Showing some love to the sponsor of this episode Hollyood Ending.

Behavior Gap Radio: Exploring human behavior...with a Sharpie
Mike Macdonald joins Brock and Salk to discuss what went wrong in yesterday's loss, why the rushing attack struggled, how he views Jadarian Price's fumbling problem, what led up to deciding Darnold was ready to start, what happened with some of the defensive breakdowns and why he blames his playcalling, and injury updates.
"Music Sounds Better with You" by Stardust is Ned Milligan's favorite French house song, and by the end of this conversation, we realize the title is basically Ned's ethos as a musician and the founder of Florabelle Records. He makes space for listeners to make meaning with him. That generosity extends to our conversation, and I think I tell him several times how nice it is to finally talk. We've been in touch as fans of each other's work for a few years now, and his new album, Real Fun, lives up to the title of "domestic music" he claims. There are field recordings of his son and late father, and the whole thing reckons with parenthood, loss, memory, friendship, and what it means to be present in a moment. Ned has been a part of so much music that brings me into the present. His immersive, finely detailed, ambient-for-lack-of-a-better-term soundscapes are far from Stardust in sound, but French house comes up as part of Ned's answer to my "good memory" question. He chooses a whole day that comes complete with photographic proof of his commitment to the music. I could spend a full day just talking to Ned, and I hope there's space for you here too.We talk about: losing his parents, when a sound becomes a composition, listening and not listening to field recordings, being no one to most people, integrity, teaching at a Quaker school, a very Millennial night of dancing.The photo of Ned FEELING IT at the concert: http://music.solidgoldberger.com/music/10-15-07/DSC00190.jpgThis Is Your Afterlife is made possible by listeners like you on Patreon.

Recorded live at BizFest in Essex, this is the story of how a near-death moment became a £16 million business.Jo Tutchener Sharp had built a successful career – running the beauty division of Purple PR, leading communications at Estée Lauder, then founding her own agency, Beauty Scene, and growing it to a turnover of around £5 million. In 2015, with two young boys at home, she decided to step away. But the stress of the exit took a physical toll, and shortly afterwards she suffered a brain haemorrhage that could bleed again at any moment, with potentially fatal consequences.Facing what she calls her "pearly gates" moment, Jo was overwhelmed not by fear but by regret – the feeling that, were she to die tomorrow, she would not have made a big enough mark on the world.So Jo made herself a promise: if she survived, she would dedicate the rest of her life to doing good. Just eleven months after brain surgery, Scamp & Dude was born, a clothing brand with purpose stitched into its heart. Today Scamp & Dude turns over £16 million a year, has donated 4.5 million products to charitable causes, and given more than 95,000 scarves to women starting chemotherapy. For her work Jo was awarded an OBE for services to fashion and charity.In this business episode, Andy Coulson explores how Jo turned a life-threatening crisis into a moment of opportunity, and what it really takes to build a brand where purpose, family and commercial success pull in the same direction.POWERED BY KINGSLEY NAPLEYI know what it is to have the right legal support around you when facing crisis. Kingsley Napley are the kind of lawyers I wish more people knew about – there to help you make the right decisions, protect what matters, and build real resilience when the pressure is on. This episode is powered by Kingsley Napley. Visit www.kingsleynapley.co.uk for more details.FOUR LESSONS FROM JOTake the calculated risk, not the leap of faith. Jo lined up five clients and £25,000 a month in fees before she resigned from Estée Lauder. De-risk the jump before you make it.Build the business around the life you actually want. Jo walked away from a £5m agency because it cost her time with her kids. Scamp & Dude was designed the opposite way – with her family built into it. Success isn't just the turnover; it's whether the business gives you the life you wanted.Purpose is the engine that keeps you going when it gets hard. For Jo it's charity; for you it might be something else entirely – but find the reason you're really doing it, because that's what stops you quitting.Awareness can be worth more than margin. Know which parts of your business are there to make money and which are there to build the brand, and don't confuse the two.CHAPTERS07:04 – Why a great job still wasn't enough08:50 – How to de-risk backing yourself before you jump10:11 – Walking away from a £5m business to get her life back10:24 – Stress and the warning she ignored13:54 – Choosing one last Christmas before brain surgery15:30 – Waking up alive, and the promise made in a hospital bed19:42 – Hospital bed to product in eleven months24:34 – The Super Scarf mission, and 95,000 women starting chemo26:54 – How to turn your hardest moment into your superpowerREAD MORE ABOUT THE SUPER SCARF MISSIONhttps://scampanddude.com/pages/superscarvesmissionFOLLOW JOInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/scampanddudejo/?hl=enFOLLOW SCAMP & DUDEInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/scampanddude/?hl=enFOLLOW CRISIS WHAT CRISIS?Instagram – www.instagram.com/crisiswhatcrisispodcast TikTok – www.tiktok.com/@crisispodThis was a Crisis What Crisis Production – Rex Fisher (producer), Ioana Barbu (studio manager), Fred Sharp (research), Johnny Seifert (audio), Jasper Cullen (video)
Elina Svitolina opens up about the pressure to win, the fear of losing, and learning that a Grand Slam won't define her worth.In this episode of Tennis Insider Club, Elina joins Caroline Garcia and Borja Duran for an honest conversation about the expectations that shaped her career—from leaving home at 12 and feeling she needed to win almost every match, to dealing with Grand Slam disappointments and finding a healthier relationship with tennis.She shares the difficult parts of her comeback after pregnancy, how quickly expectations returned with her results, and why she needed to step away when the emotional weight became too much.We also talk about life with Gael Monfils, the advice he gave her about winning a Grand Slam, raising their daughter Skai, representing Ukraine, and finding purpose beyond the tennis court.Elina still believes she can win a Grand Slam.

We often get asked, “How do you know when you're ready to take a leap?”And the truth is - you don't.In fact, the ONLY way to know is to start.In this week's episode, we brought back clips from 3 of our previous episodes with incredible guests who decided to start before they truly knew what lie ahead.These guests found the courage to go after their dream life, figure things out along the way, and wound up with the successful lives they dreamt of.We hope these stories remind you of what's possible, how girls JUST LIKE YOU are out here creating their dream lives (AKA you can do the dang thing too!!), and how courage is often the missing piece in taking a leap (not more information).If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the podcast.

On our last podcast, Hans Shapp told of his life growing up behind the wall in East Germany during the 60's and 70's under Communist rule; and then, suddenly being deported to the West. It was like a child having free run in a candy shop! Neon lights glowed in the night skies. Music blared out from the discotheques. Drugs and alcohol were widely available. Did this bring Hans happiness, peace and freedom?
Have you ever fought for years — the waitlist, the referrals, the appointments where nobody believed you — finally got the diagnosis, and then sat in the aftermath feeling nothing? Have you ever had everyone around you exhale and tell you how relieved you must be, while you felt flat, wrung out, and grieving something you couldn't even name — and then guilty, because didn't you get exactly what you asked for?You're not ungrateful and you're not doing it wrong. There's a real thing that happens after the diagnosis you fought for, and almost nobody warns you it's coming. Erica Lee sat in it for nine years and wrote it down.About the GuestErica Lee is a Western Australian educator and mother of two neurodivergent children. She's written a memoir about parenting through diagnosis, advocacy, and the emotional adjustment that follows — the flatness, the grief, and the fight that doesn't end at the answer. She speaks candidly about what motherhood actually looks like when the expectations shift and the support systems get tested.Find Erica Lee's memoir, The Bond Between Us - https://hawkeyebooks.com.au/products/the-bond-between-us-a-mother-s-journey-raising-two-neurodivergent-heartsWebsite: https://www.ericalee.com.au/Instagram: @ericalee_writes.

Morning Mantra: "Life was never meant to be understood, it was meant to be felt."Instead of trying to understand life, why not just live and feel it? Maybe through that we can learn and understand better.Many of us are taught from an early age to hide our tears as if sadness were some kind of failure. But how do you learn to cope without feeling sad? Others were taught to suppress their joy as if being happy and laughing loudly were something to be embarrassed about. How do we express our happiness and appreciation of life if we never feel it?Many children are told to be brave as if fear is an emotion that is weak. But how does one become brave if they never feel fear and address it?Life is all about experiences and those experiences create emotions that should be felt. When you try to hide your feelings you will move further away from understanding.Don't get stuck trying so hard to understand, just feel and learn.#BeOKWithFeelingLife #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique
Ever feel like you're having the same conversation about the same hurt over and over again? Yeah, we've been there. And the surprising thing is… that's not necessarily a problem.We just did an episode on conflict and how it can actually deepen intimacy (wild, right?). But during that conversation, something came up that deserves its own deep dive: closure. What even is closure? When does repair actually end? And why do some of us need to revisit the same hurts multiple times while others just want to "move on already"?This is where things get tricky. There's often frustration, blame, even shame around the fact that certain wounds keep resurfacing. One partner might feel superior because they can "just get over things," while the other feels broken for needing more time and repetition. But here's what we've learned through our own relationship and through working with hundreds of people: patterns of harm require patterns of repair. And understanding the difference between a loop and a spiral? That changes everything.In this episode, we talk about:— What repair actually means (spoiler: it's way more than just saying "I'm sorry")— The difference between closure and pretending something never happened— Why closure doesn't mean you forget or stop feeling hurt by what happened— How to tell if you're stuck in a loop versus moving through a spiral of growth— Why defensiveness will slam your spiral right back into a circle every single time— The role of changed behavior, accountability, and taking responsibility in true repair— Why some relationships stay stuck— How forgiveness language can sometimes be used to rush past real repair (and why we're cautious about that word)— The reality that you'll always remember significant harms—and that's actually okay— Why bringing up past hurts isn't manipulation—it's often an invitation to deeper knowing— How resentment forms when we pretend to "just get over" things without actually processing themResources mentioned in this episode:— Our Repair Skills playlist— The Apology and Accountability LadderJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

GREEN BAY GOT RUN OVER [Verse 1] Thursday night in Lambeau, Lights were shining bright, Packers came in feeling good, Thought we had a fight. One and one, the home opener, Falcons oh-and-two, Then Bijan hit the gas pedal, And there wasn't much we could do. Penix threw one to McKinney, Yeah, we thought we'd set the tone, Love went deep to Golden, Forty-five and gone! Christian Watson found the end zone, Lambeau started to roar, But Atlanta found a different gear, And started pounding the floor. [Chorus] Oh Green Bay, what happened tonight? We came out swinging, then we lost the fight. Thirty-five to fourteen, Man, that one ain't right, The Falcons came to Lambeau And owned Thursday night. Oh Green Bay, we're gonna be alright, But somebody better tackle Bijan tonight. He ran through the defense, He ran through the line, And when that final whistle blew, It was Falcons time. [Verse 2] Nineteen yards here, Fifty yards there, Bijan Robinson running Like nobody was there. The Packers knew the handoff, They knew where he would go, But somehow every single time, He found another hole. Penix came back from the injury, First start of the year, And by the second quarter, You could feel the fear. Not fear like we're doomed forever, Not panic, not the end, But "Hey, somebody tell the defense This guy has a friend." And that friend was Bijan, Running wild all night, While Green Bay's offense Couldn't get right. [Chorus] Oh Green Bay, what happened tonight? We came out swinging, then we lost the fight. Thirty-five to fourteen, Man, that one ain't right, The Falcons came to Lambeau And owned Thursday night. Oh Green Bay, we're gonna be alright, But somebody better tackle Bijan tonight. He ran through the defense, He ran through the line, And when that final whistle blew, It was Falcons time. [Bridge] Seventeen yards rushing... Seventeen. That's not a typo. Seventeen yards! You could almost get more than that Walking from the parking lot To the stadium. And that's the part that hurts. Because you can lose a shootout, You can lose by a play, You can lose on Sunday afternoon And say, "We'll be okay." But when a team comes into Lambeau, Runs it down your throat, Controls the clock, Controls the game, And makes your offense choke... You don't need another hot take. You need a football. You need a blocking scheme. And apparently... You need somebody to tackle Bijan Robinson. [Verse 3] Jordan Love had moments, Golden made the play, Watson kept the touchdown streak Alive along the way. But the offense couldn't answer When Atlanta took control, And every Green Bay drive Felt like pulling teeth from a hole. The Falcons kept on running, The Packers couldn't stop, Bijan kept on moving All the way to the top. And somewhere in Wisconsin A Packers fan yelled, "WHY?!" While somebody else on Twitter said, "FIRE EVERYBODY!" No. Everybody breathe. It's one game. But yeah... It was a really bad one. [Chorus] Oh Green Bay, what happened tonight? We came out swinging, then we lost the fight. Thirty-five to fourteen, Man, that one ain't right, The Falcons came to Lambeau And owned Thursday night. Oh Green Bay, we're gonna be alright, But somebody better tackle Bijan tonight. He ran through the defense, He ran through the line, And when that final whistle blew, It was Falcons time. [Verse 4] This isn't time for panic, But it's time to take a look. Because football's more than highlights, And football's more than books. You gotta win the trenches, You gotta run the ball, You gotta stay on schedule, You gotta answer when they call. Atlanta came in hungry, They played like they had none, And Green Bay looked surprised When the Falcons started running. So take this loss to heart, boys, Put it on the wall, Because the season isn't over, But tonight was a fall. Get back in the building, Get back to work, Figure out what happened, And don't let it lurk. [Final Chorus] Oh Green Bay, what happened tonight? We came out swinging, then we lost the fight. Thirty-five to fourteen, Man, that one ain't right, The Falcons came to Lambeau And owned Thursday night. But Green Bay, don't lose your mind, There's a whole lot of football left behind. Take the loss, learn the lesson, Get back in the fight, Because one bad Thursday Doesn't end your life. So raise up that green and gold, Even after a night like this, Packers fans don't disappear Because of one ugly miss. We'll be back next week, And we'll see what we've got. But somebody... PLEASE... TACKLE... BIJAN ROBINSON. GO PACK GO.

“I know I'm a good guy - I'm kind and compassionate and caring … so why don't girls want me??”This was one of Scott's main concerns in middle and high school. It felt like it was happening for everyone around him, but not him.Fast forward a few decades and now he's got overflow in his love life -- he's married and experiences affection, sex, closeness, and emotional availability on the daily. So what changed?Here we talk about the excruciating phone call in 6th grade that kicked everything off; the confusion of having close women friends who say they want a nice guy but then don't seem to want the nice guy that's right in front of them; what it actually means to feel SEEN after feeling overlooked; and the intriguing question Scott finally asked himself on a walk through a park in Madrid.You'll also hear about a client who looked great on paper, but who was stuck in first-date purgatory for years. A couple of months into the work, he said something he'd never said before: "She's actually chasing me!"If you've ever felt stuck in a pattern of first dates that never become second dates, years of swiping with nothing to show for it, or a marriage where you reach for her and keep hearing, "No" -- this one's for you.—Come to the upcoming Masterclass!The Man She Craves 101 is coming in October.

FC København er under forandring. Den sportslige ledelse er skiftet ud, og rigtig mange års FCK-historie røg ud ad døren på én gang.I medlemspodcasten Det Tekniske Felt dissekerer vi, hvad det betyder. Del ét handler om spillet på banen. Det her er de første 11 minutter, frit tilgængeligt for alle.Med om køkkenbordet: Kasper Haugaard, Mikkel Tolstrup, Morten Klinkby og Kasper Larsen.I uddraget hører du:Om Bo Svenssons FCK er blevet mere underholdende at se på. Hvad der egentlig skete omkring Nordsjælland-kampen, hvor holdet begyndte at ligne et hold. Og hvorfor tallene siger, at Neestrups FCK skabte chancerne uden at score, mens Svenssons scorer uden rigtig at skabe dem.Efter 11 minutter stopper det gratis uddrag. I resten af udsendelsen - knap 57 minutter - hæver vi os op og spørger, hvad det egentlig er for en fodbold, Bo Svensson vil spille. Hvor meget af det har vi overhovedet set endnu? Hvor langt kan det nå? Og hvor langt er det fra at toppe?Vi finder ud af, om FCK spiller med tre eller fire mand bagi. Vi taler om keeperskiftet, som Mikkel mener, vi stadig undervurderer. Vi kigger ind i den nye hverdag på 10'eren, fra mødetider til toiletruller. Vi sætter procenter på, hvor langt Bo Svensson er med sit projekt. Og til sidst giver alle tre deres største håb og deres største bekymring.Melder du dig ind, så kan du høre hele udsendelsen og du får også del to, hvor vi lægger spillet fra os og kigger på klubben. Bekymringsskalaen fra 1 til 10. Den nye sportsdirektør. Brevet til fansene fra 5. april, hvor klubben lovede at slå hårdt tilbage.

Social media can feel like the best networking tool in the world, until it throws you a curveball. We were joined by Asif Choudry back in episode 96. We talk about the early days of Twitter when it felt like a friendly space for real conversations, and how one superhero-themed event turned into a lesson in handling criticism. From swag bags to unexpected backlash, this is a story about resilience and why staying visible matters even when things get uncomfortable.We also dive into the reality of trolling, online pile-ons, and why ignoring negativity is often the smartest move. If you've ever had that sinking feeling after a public misstep or worried about what people might say, this conversation will give you practical advice and a reminder that mistakes don't define you, they shape you.Click here to listen to the full episode 96.Send us Fan MailStruggling to prove marketing's worth to your board?

Effie had been dieting since she was 17. Thirty years of counting calories, hitting 1,200 a day, going to bed starving, and starting over every time she fell off. The food was never really the problem. What was running underneath it never got addressed, so every plan eventually broke down.She stopped working on the food and started working on what was driving it. Now she keeps the foods she used to binge on in the house, eats more than she did on any diet she's tried, and hasn't called herself a dieter once.What we get into:- What 30 years of counting calories does to your relationship with food- Why the foods she kept out of the house were the ones she'd lose control around everywhere else- The self-talk that followed a bad weigh-in, and what it set off- What she thought her problem was before this, and why she had it wrong- How she got through a family trip and a layoff without turning to food- Why eating more ended up being part of the answer‣ Apply to Join Dieting From The Inside Out Here: https://inquire.hamiltontrained.com?utm_source=podcast‣ Grab the Food Noise Solution Guide Here: https://inquire.hamiltontrained.com/food-noise?utm_source=podcast

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima open by addressing Todd Monken's comments on the DeShaun Watson/Dillon Gabriel QB dynamic before diving into their reaction to Sunday's win over Baker Mayfield's Buccaneers. Ken admits he got defensive with people accusing him of overreacting to the victory, then pivots to how oddly emotional he felt watching Caleb Williams get carted off before learning it was just a grade one hamstring strain. They close by tying the rash of QB injuries around the league (Jaxson Dart, Jayden Daniels, Williams) to a broader debate about whether college football's transfer portal culture is hurting quarterback development.

00:01–01:22: Robyn and Victor reintroduce Nomads With a Purpose and the Defy the Norm podcast after a long break. They reflect on 11 years of full-time travel with five children and how challenges helped them grow individually, spiritually, and as a couple. 01:22–03:37: Victor describes how trying to remain likable and adapting his personality to each coaching client caused exhaustion and anxiety. His overworked nervous system kept inventing worst-case scenarios and made it difficult to distinguish real danger from fear. 03:37–07:40: They contrast familiar, controlled hardship—such as weight training or jiu-jitsu—with the uncertainty of travel and adventure. Robyn explains that repeated exposure to unfamiliar challenges develops self-trust, self-worth, risk assessment, and authenticity. 07:40–13:19: Their three-part framework for change is to calm the nervous system, step slightly outside the comfort zone, and question whether fearful reactions are based on facts, old conditioning, family patterns, or society's expectations. 13:19–18:43: Traveling gave their children strong identities, confidence, and the ability to assess risk. Their current challenge is learning how to turn their authentic interests into sustainable work without falling into comparison, competition, conformity, or the pursuit of security at all costs. 18:43–24:55: A six-month European trip removed the pressure of extended-family expectations and strengthened the family as a team. However, Victor's exhaustion, lack of involvement in planning, and fear of disappointing clients demonstrate how an overwhelmed nervous system can follow someone into even their dream lifestyle. 24:55–34:33: They revisit difficult periods in Bend and Breckenridge, including career setbacks, unsuitable jobs, financial strain, and an RV accident. In hindsight, they see these events as experiences that ultimately led them to their ideal Bend property and a more collaborative marriage. 34:33–40:17: Spirituality helped Victor move beyond seeing himself only as a provider and grinder. He now believes his gifts have a larger purpose and that it is healthy to desire abundance, influence, and income—especially when those resources allow him to help more people. 40:17–45:29: Victor explains his coaching approach: he identifies patterns in movement, posture, breathing, fascia, and emotional stress. He believes healing accelerates when physical retraining is combined with examining the emotions, experiences, and identities being held in the body. 45:29–47:45: Their central family lesson is to stop treating life as a collection of prescribed roles and schedules and begin operating as a team. Families can ask, “How do we want to live, thrive, and wake up excited?” instead of automatically following society's definition of a good life. Our Mission: Helping families connect, regulate, and thrive through adventure, mindset, and intentional parenting.

When we see conflict as a red flag, we pave the way for dishonest ‘peace,' people pleasing (where no one is actually pleased at all), and emotional walls that try to protect us but end up leaving us isolated and disconnected.The truth is that conflict is not inherently a sign that something is going wrong in the relationship. In fact, generative conflict is the pathway to deeper connection and growth. This conversation gets real about the extremes of dysfunctional conflict (cheap peace and violent disagreement), what generative conflict actually looks like, and how it can bring people together instead of pulling them apart.In this episode, we talk about:— Why conflict isn't a sign that something's wrong with your relationship (and what it actually signals instead)— The spectrum of conflict: from dishonest harmony to violent disharmony, and how to find the generative middle ground— Ken's transformation from conflict-avoidant to someone who can sit in the discomfort with curiosity and patience— How gender dynamics and emotional labor show up in who does the work of naming and navigating conflict— The power of asking "what else is it?" instead of dismissing someone's feelings or getting defensive— Why making space for your partner's inner child (and historical wounds) can be relationship-changing— The difference between taking something personally and taking it on—and how ego strength plays a role— Practical skills that have reduced our conflict duration by 90% (seriously)— Why repair can and should start during the conflict, not just after— How conflict skills become even more essential when you're opening your relationship— The importance of curiosity, vulnerability, and dropping defensiveness when things get heated— Why hypervigilance from childhood can make us defend against there being "more" to a conflictResources mentioned in this episode:— Our Repair Skills Playlist— Our Imago Dialogue PlaylistJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

The DOJ has the receipts. GPS tracking logs, phone records showing fifty-plus contacts in a day, online purchase records for a tire deflation device, a PI contract, and an intimate image allegedly posted without Mica Miller's consent. What prosecutors need now is a jury that doesn't just see the evidence but feels what it meant to be on the receiving end of it for nearly two years.Miller was indicted in December 2025 on federal charges of cyberstalking and making false statements. The alleged harassment ran from November 2022 through Mica's death in April 2024. Prosecutors say Miller told agents the PI was hired to protect Mica from purchasing firearms — a claim the government calls a lie. Miller has pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations. He has not been charged in Mica's death. She was thirty, filed for divorce two days before dying, and her death was ruled a suicide. He faces up to seven years combined. Trial is October 2026.The challenge for the prosecution is translating data into fear. A tracking log is a spreadsheet until a prosecutor makes the jury imagine being watched every time they drive to work. A call log is a column of numbers until twelve people understand what it feels like to have your phone ring fifty times from someone you begged to leave you alone.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony to dissect the prosecution's strategy. The narrative architecture. The plan to preempt victim-blaming. The jury selection strategy in a case this visible. And whether these charges are the government's endgame or its opening move toward something larger.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Was the Last Time You Felt Happy? — A 10-Minute Meditation for Feeling Flat, Numb or Emotionally Stuck Somebody asked how you were, and you said fine, and you meant it — nothing is wrong. But later, standing at the sink, a harder question arrives on its own: when was the last time you felt properly happy? Not fine, not coping, not relieved something was over. Really happy. If you went looking for the answer and couldn't find it, this guided meditation is for that feeling of being flat, numb or quietly stuck, even when nothing in your life seems to justify it.

Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode uses the physiological sigh (a double inhale followed by one long exhale) to work with the body directly, then moves into affirmation work that reframes feeling flat as information rather than a verdict — and gives you permission to want more than simply feeling fine. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – "Nothing Is Wrong"* 01:02 – Welcome & the Daily Check-In* 01:38 – Breathing: The Physiological Sigh* 03:51 – A Quiet Word* 04:22 – What You're Allowed to Feel* 05:22 – Affirmations for Feeling Flat* 08:05 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 09:00 – Coming Back Gently* 09:38 – A Note From Martin

If something is missing, if something feels like it's missing, then you're probably not being true to yourself, right? You're not being your authentic self.Lesley Logan 0:12 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Brad Crowell 0:53 Take it away.Lesley Logan 0:56 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap for my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the authentic convo I had with Peter Kolat, also known as Polish Peter, in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause us now. Go back and listen to Polish Peter, and then come back and join us.Brad Crowell 1:15 Yeah, Polish Peter, I love it.Lesley Logan 1:15 I know. It's on his Zoom call. It says Polish Peter.Brad Crowell 1:18 That's what he calls himself. Yeah, he explained it in the episode. I kind of had a good chuckle, but yeah, a lot of fun.Lesley Logan 1:24 I mean, he's Polish.Brad Crowell 1:25 Well, there's that. I mean, I hope I would hope he's Polish. He better fucking be Polish if he's calling himself Polish. Lesley Logan 1:32 And he's not just Polish. He's from Poland. So there's that. All right. So today is September 17th. Here's the deal, guys. We're gonna get down and dirty because you know what? The day before recording this, I'm a little, I'm a little annoyed. So we're in on this stuff. It is whether or not people wanted to celebrate this day. There, we are celebrating it. It is National DEI Day.Brad Crowell 1:53 It's September 17th.Lesley Logan 1:54 That's right. It's September 17th. It is National DEI Day. National DEI Day champions our nation's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion every September 17th, sharing its date with Constitution and Citizenship. Wow, with Constitution and Citizenship Days. I wonder if the people who aren't into DEI have ever read the Constitution or taken a citizenship test. Anyways, it reinforces values of democracy and belonging. I am zesty today, and belonging. Communities nationwide are encouraged to wear blue and unite to celebrate equity in action. Discover resources, participate in discussions, and support initiatives that foster a truly inclusive society. So, Brad put some stuff together.Brad Crowell 2:36 Yeah, DEI. Here's what each word actually means, but completely stripped of political charge that's been layered with all of the craziness that's been happening.Lesley Logan 2:47 Okay, by the way, if anyone's triggered by the fact that we're talking about DEI, they're already gone. Brad Crowell 2:51 So yeah, this is probably already gone. Lesley Logan 2:53 Yeah, but this is for our people who needed to explain it to their family members. Brad Crowell 2:57 Well, yeah, I think it's really important. DEI is just this supercharged acronym. We told my dad that our government is going after people about. They've shut down grants to universities because the university has a DEI class. But what is DEI? What does that actually mean? Right. The D stands for Diversity. The E is Equity. The I is Inclusion. But D includes the presence of people with different backgrounds, identities, and experiences in a group or organization. So that's all different backgrounds, identities, and experiences. This includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic background. Right?Lesley Logan 3:42 Yeah. If you're poor.Brad Crowell 3:43 You're DEI, right? National origin, so that could certainly be people from another country. It could also mean religion, and also side note, every fucking person who's ever been in the military.Lesley Logan 3:56 Yeah, you're DEI. When we told my family member, we're like, you're DEI. I'm like, you are over 65, so that's an age thing. You are a veteran.Brad Crowell 4:07 Yep.Lesley Logan 4:08 DEI.Brad Crowell 4:09 Yeah.Lesley Logan 4:09 There it is. You are. I have a sweatshirt that says you're probably DEI too.Brad Crowell 4:14 Yeah. So that's the D. So E is designing systems so that outcomes aren't predetermined by someone's starting point, so it's not the same as equality, giving everyone the same thing, right? This is equity. Equity means adjusting for the fact that different people face different barriers.Lesley Logan 4:35 Yeah, I mean, if you grow up in a poor area of town in the U.S., that likely means that your school has less funding, which means if you're able to be a straight-A student in your school with less funding, equity means that they see you similarly to someone who went to a very high-end school versus like, "Oh well, you got a 3.8 at this school, but these people have 4.2's." No, they're like, "Oh hi, that's insane, that's amazing, whoa, we should look at that."Brad Crowell 5:08 Well, it's adjusting. Yeah, exactly. It's adjusting for the fact that there are different barriers of entry. Right? So that's what equity is.Lesley Logan 5:15 There's also a really interesting thing. You can see it on YouTube. It was going around during 2020 and 2021, where they just put people on a starting line and they ask them questions, right? Did you have this? Did you have that growing up? Did you have this growing up? And you have to take certain steps forward or backward, and then you look and you see people of different socioeconomic backgrounds and races often are behind other places, and it doesn't mean that we take these other people down. It's that we actually go, "Oh, we should actually account for that and give these people an opportunity to even the drawing, give them a better opportunity at life."Brad Crowell 5:52 I stands for Inclusion. Whether people who are present actually feel welcome, they feel heard, and they're able to participate fully, or whether they're just technically in the room, right? Making sure that everyone has a voice.Lesley Logan 6:06 It's like in the '80s, or I don't remember when they, for, "Oh well, that board has a woman on the board, but she doesn't ever get to talk, and her points are never listened to." Then it's not actually included.Brad Crowell 6:18 She's the talking woman on the board.Lesley Logan 6:19 Yeah.Brad Crowell 6:20 Right. Yeah. So who is included in DEI? This is where it often gets—I'm just going to sum it all up. This is often where it gets misunderstood. DEI frameworks were born out of civil rights and anti-discrimination work. So, in practice, the groups most often centered are Black, Latino, Hispanic, Indigenous, Asian, women, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, and veterans. However, the framework itself is not exclusive to those groups. A white man from rural Appalachia with no college degree is considered diverse in a room full of Ivy League professionals, and equity would ask whether he has had the same shot at advancement. Right? So.Lesley Logan 7:02 But they would never tell that guy that.Brad Crowell 7:06 Okay, well, the political fight isn't really just about the definition; it's about whether these frameworks produce fair outcomes or create preferential treatment, right? That's the—that is where the argument is: Is it right for us to give a voice to the guy from Appalachia? Are we giving preferential treatment to him, or is it producing a fair outcome? And that's where, you know, that's now where opinion comes into play, right? It's about that and whether institutional programs built around DEI actually deliver on the premise or become performative checkbox exercises, right? So it's definitely easy to just turn into a checkbox exercise. This is where reasonable people land on different places.Lesley Logan 7:45 Yeah, I mean, look, I don't know that DEI mandates, the wrong word, but values in a company are always going to be perfect. I think everything is going to have flaws, and there's always going to be blind spots to different things just based on experiences, no matter where you land on the board, but I do think that punishing people because they have DEI as a value system or something that's important to them is wrong, and also just assuming that somebody who is of any of the things we said got there because they were just gifted a thing is just ignorant. Brad Crowell 8:22 It would also be wrong.Lesley Logan 8:24 It's wrong to assume. "Oh, there's a person of color, or a poor person, or a woman, or a queer person in a job. It's because DEI." No, every person who interviews for a job still has to get past the interview. They still have to get there. You know what I mean? It's so interesting to me how people think that something is happening at them. We all benefit when there's different people at.Brad Crowell 8:51 Oh the stats are in. I mean, the, the if you go look at any corporation that focuses on diversity in their company, they perform better as a company. There's not even any question.Lesley Logan 9:02 100% So I don't know. We obviously, I want to say about Polish Peter, but I just think it's really important. If you're listening, there's a good chance you're probably DEI too in some way, and if you have family members who are really like, they roll their eyes at those letters, I strongly encourage you to look up and see if they fall in under DEI and explain it to them because what sounds like is that they've been brainwashed that people are having a leg up on them, which is not true. And if they just recognized that they also fall under these things, there are systems for them. Like, this is the thing that frustrates me the most. There are systems for people,Brad Crowell 9:38 Yeah.Lesley Logan 9:39 Who think that the world is against them. There are these things. You have to look them up. It's really frustrating, but there are these things. I hear about different things that Vegas offers people in different socioeconomic backgrounds and homes. I didn't even know existed. I'm like, how are people hearing about this? But we do have. Brad Crowell 9:55 I mean, we're watching The Pit right now. Again, literally. Lesley's on the third time through. I'm on the second time through, and there's in season two. There is a unhoused guy who he needs a bath really bad, right? And he gets in to they they they clean him up and they start talking to him and everything. And the charge nurse, the head charge nurse, says, you know, you need to work the system. The system is there to support you. You have to learn how to work the system. Right? And and so it's shoot that wrong. Lesley Logan 10:25 We have some incredible people on our teaching team and and our team who've had things that are outside of their control, just terrible things that just have sidelined their dreams. And not only did they work the system, and yes, it requires you being on long phone call holds and doing the paperwork and and keeping the receipts, but their kids are benefiting from it and Brad Crowell 10:48 Yeah, big time. Lesley Logan 10:48 So do it. Brad Crowell 10:49 In a good way.Lesley Logan 10:50 Do it.Brad Crowell 10:51 Yeah.Lesley Logan 10:51 And also we are voting in the next less than 60 days. Please consider how you are voting and who supports people. Brad Crowell 10:59 Well, first off, make sure you vote.Lesley Logan 11:01 Make sure you vote.Brad Crowell 11:02 Yeah.Lesley Logan 11:02 You can vote for whoever you want, but also think about how that person feels about other people.Brad Crowell 11:08 Yeah.Lesley Logan 11:09 You know. Anyways, we got to get into it. Brad Crowell 11:11 We're going to talk about what's coming up here and what our travel is.Lesley Logan 11:14 The upLifter, upLift Teacher Training Program. We're actually onboarding our instructors this fall, so. Brad Crowell 11:20 Our educators. Lesley Logan 11:21 Our educators, for that this fall and upLift is for people who want to become a pilates instructor or people who have had partial trainings who would like to make it a comprehensive training so they can have a career and longevity in this career. So if you are interested in my upLift teacher training program and being able to do that in person with one of our educators, xxll.co/uws. No, we still don't have a link for all these things, but we'll get there probably next year. It's a 2027 goal. All right. eLevate. That is my mentorship program. So that's for those of you who are—if you're like, "Oh, I would love to learn from you, but I'm already trained teacher." That's eLevate. We have a few spots left, and you can actually watch. Brad Crowell 11:57 Well, we might be sold out by the time you hear this in September, but yeah, we'll see. At the very least, get on the wait list for future.Lesley Logan 12:03 Just go and check, and you never know. And we'll figure out a better way to announce this stuff. lesleylogan.co/elevate. But you should go learn about it and see if it's the right thing for you. Brad Crowell 12:12 I mean, honestly, the the the reality is this: that 2027 is already sold out. 2028 is almost sold out, right? So if this is something that you're considering, it's getting further out in the future. So now is the time to start thinking about it because, you know, we might already be talking about 2029. Lesley Logan 12:29 And I won't even let them pick dates, so we're not even talking. But anyways, I want you in if you want in. I want you in. It's not some elitist thing, by the way. It's just people always, "Oh, I can't believe I got accepted." It's, yeah, you meet the requirements and why you want to join is why I do the program, and so it's a kind of a first-come, first-serve. I'm not one of those hierarchical. Is that the right word?Brad Crowell 12:49 Yeah, you nailed it.Lesley Logan 12:49 Yeah, educators where you must have been teaching 30 years, and you must bow down to me and be in my cult. No, I, I really, if you want to learn from me and you meet the why we do what we do and what you need to have done, then it's a first-come, first-serve. So there is no someone had this training and that's why they're in over someone else. Nope, nope. Also, our flashcards. Did you know that if you want to support this podcast and you're not ready to be an OPC member, there's a way to support this podcast by buying our flashcards. And when you buy our flashcards, you don't just support us. You actually support the Nevada SPCA.Brad Crowell 13:21 Hey, love that.Lesley Logan 13:22 And they do fucking great work.Brad Crowell 13:24 Yes.Lesley Logan 13:24 Yeah. opc.me/flashcards.Brad Crowell 13:26 We were able to buy all of the dogs in the. Lesley Logan 13:30 Not just the dogs, Brad. We were able to pay for 114 shelter animals' food for one week.Brad Crowell 13:35 That's amazing.Lesley Logan 13:36 And at the time, they only had 61 shelter animals, so we probably paid for two weeks of. Brad Crowell 13:40 That's what I thought. It was two weeks. The way that it worked out was it's two weeks worth of meals for the the animals that they had, the future pets that they had, and we're really proud of that, y'all. Like this is not just Lesley and I saying this. This is your participation with Online Pilates Classes. We are so excited to be able to write that check, and we write it every quarter, and it's because of you.Lesley Logan 14:03 And also, we should be updating you on Q3 soon. So stay tuned. We'll see how many more animals we we fed, or how many we paid for the adoption fees for. Anyways, posters.Brad Crowell 14:14 Yeah, people have asked us where the posters are found. The OPC posters. Just go to opc.me/posters, and then real quick, we're gonna rip through this. Yeah, we'll be in Sacramento in October for Pilates On Tour. Lesley Logan 14:26 It's sold out.Brad Crowell 14:27 It is sold out, but we'll be there, and we'll be bringing the flashcards, by the way. And then Lesley and I literally leave our van, and we take the BART into San Francisco, and we are going to hop on a plane to go to Cambodia to host our annual retreat there, which is also.Lesley Logan 14:44 Well. It's been sold out for a long time, but you can get on. You're making it sound like no one can hang out with us.Brad Crowell 14:48 No.Lesley Logan 14:48 You can get on the wailist because we will not sell tickets to 2027 until January. There is space in 2027 hangouts. But you got to be on the waitlist for that.Brad Crowell 14:58 In November, Lesley is going to be at a Pilates summit in China.Lesley Logan 15:02 Yes. Brad Crowell 15:03 Just outside of Shanghai.Lesley Logan 15:04 Still have no link for you, but I heard that they're promoting it on the Chinese socials. Brad Crowell 15:09 Yes, it is up and out. We're we're working on that.Lesley Logan 15:11 Tell your friends in China. Yeah, hopefully I can come a lot.Brad Crowell 15:15 That'd be awesome.Lesley Logan 15:16 Yeah.Brad Crowell 15:16 In December, Lesley's going to India. She's going to be in Goa.Lesley Logan 15:19 There are spaces.Brad Crowell 15:20 And there are spaces at the Pilates On Tour there, the POT there. So go to xxll.co/pot Lesley Logan 15:27 And Goa, you guys, I said yes because when you look at Goa, you too will say yes. And the way they do Goa is so different. They treat it almost like you're going on a retreat. So your ticket covers the resort, the food, the whole thing.Brad Crowell 15:39 Oh, nice.Lesley Logan 15:40 Yeah.Brad Crowell 15:41 You have food there too. That's great.Lesley Logan 15:42 Well, of course they're gonna feed me. They always do, but everyone you fed.Brad Crowell 15:45 Not you, I meant the ticket attendees. Lesley Logan 15:46 Yeah, they get everything, and then it covers their their end of resort. We're all at a resort together.Brad Crowell 15:51 Very cool.Lesley Logan 15:52 It's gonna be like the White Lotus, but not no murders, no affairs.Brad Crowell 15:58 Awesome, and then Lesley literally flies from India straight to Denver, which you know that we're in Vegas. But I'm driving the van to Denver. She's gonna fly from India to Denver, and I'll pick her up, and we're gonna hit the road for our winter tour for OPC. Lesley Logan 16:14 Weird, wild, and crazy, and people think I'm 30 years old.Brad Crowell 16:16 Yeah, so come join us. Go to opc.me/events opc.me/events. Lesley Logan 16:21 And if you're like, oh, I'm gonna do next year's, just so you know, I've accepted nothing for 2027.Brad Crowell 16:28 For the winter tour?Lesley Logan 16:29 No, I mean for any of these POTs orBrad Crowell 16:32 Any of the events, yes. Lesley Logan 16:33 Or whatever. We haven't at this moment that we're recording. We have, I've accepted. Oh, I've accepted one thing, but I haven't had the contract on it yet, so. Brad Crowell 16:41 That's true. That's true. Oh, actually, before we leave, hold on, stick around, stick around. We are very excited to talk about the charity of the week. So this week's charity is we're going to be highlighting the Americans for Immigrant Justice. It's a Miami-based nonprofit law firm fighting for immigrant basic human rights for nearly 30 years. Since 1996, they provided free legal representation because, unlike criminal court, there's no guaranteed right to an attorney in immigration proceedings. I just want to say that again. We all know that the court provides us an attorney if we need one, right? We do, we do, we get that, yes. But if you are an immigrant, if you're going through immigration proceedings, that is not a guaranteed right, right? So what do you? First off, you might not even know anything about our legal system, and then what? You're supposed to represent yourself? That's crazy.Lesley Logan 17:34 Well, we have friends who, because of all this ICE shit, are being thrown into representing people because it's hitting the federal courts now, which is not normally how it goes, and they are having to learn immigration shit.Brad Crowell 17:44 Yeah, and so, yeah, so this organization offers literally free legal counsel. It's all in the Miami-Dade area, so South Florida, but it's—it's—it's amazing. They've provided attorneys to more than 175,000 people from over 160 countries. That's amazing. They're the only provider offering on-site legal help at Miami-Dade's domestic violence shelter. They do not just immigration, but they also do violence, like domestic violence. They've exposed abusive conditions inside detention centers in Florida and on the Texas border. And in 2025, they won a federal injunction blocking a Florida law that would have made it a felony for certain undocumented people to simply be in the state. Lesley Logan 18:23 Wow, this is really cool. And also, I'm sure if you don't live in Florida, I bet you they have friends and colleagues in different states.Brad Crowell 18:30 Yeah, they're four-star rated by Charity Navigator. Your donation actually goes to real on-the-ground work for people who have nowhere else to turn. And you can find out more at aijustice.org. AIjustice.org.Lesley Logan 18:43 I love that. It's really important. You know, there's a lot of ish happening right now, and it's, it's very scary, and it's all meant to just scare. It's all scare tactics, but also these are real people who are being locked up in places that it's not how it's normally done. They're actually, when people say, "Do it the right way," a lot of these people are. They actually went to their immigration appointment and they got picked up. It takes a long time. So, anyways, please take a look at how you can support people who have immigrated here in your areas. If this organization doesn't work, there's probably a lot of different ways you can support those in your community. Do that.Brad Crowell 19:17 Yeah, and if you have a recommendation for a charity that we should investigate and check out, send us a text 310-905-5534, or you can submit that to beitpod.com/questions. You can also leave us a win for the Friday episodes, and if you know, you know. Stick around. We'll be right back. All right, let's talk about Peter, known as Polish Peter and sometimes Polish Tony, for his Tony Robbins-esque style. He's a transformational coach, speaker, and author. Born in communist Poland, Peter landed in Detroit in 1991 at the age of 14 with no English and Big Dreams of the USA, shaped by Hollywood movies. He trained as an architect, but after the 2008 recession and a divorce, he found his way into coaching. Today, he helps people like—all the stories holding them back, and asks the tough, sobering questions that people need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. He does have a book. It's called The Authentic Self Rebirth, and we'll put the link in the show notes, so check it out below. Lesley Logan 20:13 But he's got such great energy. Brad Crowell 20:16 Yeah, my Authentic Birth. You can find it, and he has a book there. It's free right now, apparently, actually.Lesley Logan 20:21 No, you just pay for shipping handling.Brad Crowell 20:22 Yeah, awesome. So yeah, yeah, it was a great convo.Lesley Logan 20:25 I agree. I don't. I think I don't even remember. Remember when the 747s were falling out of the sky, like they were having issues.Brad Crowell 20:34 Yeah, sure. Like two years ago.Lesley Logan 20:35 No, more like before COVID. But there was that. Was it really? Yeah, maybe they weren't 747s. Maybe they were—remember the Boeing? There were Boeings, and there was two that the pilots were trying to do something, and the computer was doing the opposite thing. Yeah, and then you were on a plane to New Orleans, and I had to get on a plane to Poland, and it was one of these Boeing numbers, and I started having a panic attack, and you weren't answering your phone because you were on a plane,Brad Crowell 21:00 I think it was 2023, babe.Lesley Logan 21:02 No, definitely not. It was before COVID. We lived in LA, and so I'm texting you, "I think I'm gonna die now. I'm going." Brad Crowell 21:10 Oh yes, I do remember this.Lesley Logan 21:11 And I love you so much. Here's where I come down. Brad Crowell 21:15 This was your first trip to Poland.Lesley Logan 21:17 My first trip to Poland, and they made me check my bag, which you know how much I hate because I said it was too heavy, and so of course I found some tequila and some kombucha, and I made myself a margarita at the airport. And I'm walking around drinking my margarita that I made, and I get myself on this plane. I was like, okay, if the plane takes off and nothing happens in 20 minutes, I think we're okay. So I set a timer, and I'm just sitting there with my timer. What? Nothing happened.Brad Crowell 21:43 What? No idea what you said.Lesley Logan 21:44 Well, I was just like watching my timer. I was just watching the timer. I was watching 20 minutes tick down, right? Because I was like, "This is—this is when it's going to happen. It's going to happen the next 20 minutes." And this woman next to me, when there was no one in the middle seat, she was, "I'm scared to fly too," and I was like, "Oh yeah, normally no, but this is one of those planes that goes down, so I'm just scared to be on this one." And she started talking about being living in communist Poland.Brad Crowell 22:06 She did?Lesley Logan 22:07 Yeah. And she told me it was so wonderful because she talked nonstop. Even my timer went off. She just kept talking, and she told me her whole life trying to escape communist Poland and how her family got to the U.S. and because in communist Poland you couldn't have access to your passport, so you had to have different reasons to get access to it. And then they watched you heavily when you had access to your passport. And she and her family were able to escape Poland and come to the United States.Brad Crowell 22:37 That's amazing.Lesley Logan 22:37 Yes, and it was a beautiful story. It was, and then she's like, "And I'm going back to see family." I'm like, so. Brad Crowell 22:43 Why would you do that? Okay. Lesley Logan 22:44 But it's not communist. Anyways. But it was. I just, anyways, I thought of her when I thought of that story and thought of her when with Peter because how difficult for his family to come here and then to be a child. Now he's in Detroit. How many Polish people are in Detroit. He's in Detroit. He doesn't know English, and English is. You think Polish is hard? English is hard. So, anyways, he operates, and this is probably why, is because he operates under the belief that life happens for me, not to me. And I know we've all heard that before, but you really do have to think about that in a way that's, that helps you because shit happens, and if you really can think about it, he, you know, in 2008 he lost all the things and his partner and all this stuff, and if he can think about this is happening for me and see the opportunities that are there to grow and to become a different person and to have a different life, so he definitely had some really good explanations. He said, imagine banging your head against the drywall, like something's going to give.Brad Crowell 23:42 Something will give.Lesley Logan 23:43 It will, and if you live at a flipped house, it will definitely give. But it's not good. You don't want to do that. He does—he said you should figure out what the root cause of the issue was going on. Like, really going back in time, and I think a lot of us stick to the surface level. This happened, so this is the thing. But there's often a first domino that starts the effect. So he also, I really like when he talked about the different patterns that signal a wrong direction, and we have to pivot. And my God, I know we all hate that word. It's still like a trigger word for us. But there's nothing wrong with a good pivot. I don't know. I'm a pivot queen.Brad Crowell 24:19 I think it's a great skill to have. I mean, it's also an important time to step back and reevaluate.Lesley Logan 24:27 Well, I was just talking with some eLevate people this week about how sometimes they get so super focused on this one thing in a person doing an exercise, and I love how you are a dog with a bone on that. But you got to zoom out because if you don't zoom out, you're actually missing that these three things are happening, which is probably why the thing you're zoomed in is happening there. And if you don't zoom out, then you're actually going to be going in the wrong direction. Where if you zoomed out and made a pivot, it doesn't mean you're a bad teacher. It actually means you're, you're going, "Whoa, hold on! I have more information, and now I can take us in the right direction." No, that's what.Brad Crowell 25:06 Well, I really loved what he was talking about. How do we know that we're being authentic? Because that's just be yourself. Just be authentic.Lesley Logan 25:13 I love this because everyone talks about being authentic. It's so annoying, but I love the word. Yeah, how do you know if you are?Brad Crowell 25:18 He said when you are true to yourself, he said, "You'll know when you're true to yourself if it feels like nothing is missing," right? If something is missing, if something feels like it's missing, then you're probably not being true to yourself, right? You're not being your authentic self. He also said that if you're living from stories of what the world told you to be, not how you need to be, right? So it's, this goes back to all the, you know, parallel here is like magazines or society telling you what this is how you should do it, and it's not necessarily the right path for you, right? For me, yeah, I agree. Yeah, you know, so I think it's amazing when you are pressured by something outside of you. That could be your parents. That could be your school. That could be your church. That could be whatever it might be. Your job. There's tension. There's obviously tension there. Sometimes the pressure is good. They're helping you with your path, but you know if the pressure is not good, right? It makes me think of my job that I had before I finally quit. Yeah, I mean, look, my parents pushed me to be a better student. You know, that's a good thing. My job pushed me to do things that could I do those things? Yes. Should I do those things? Probably shouldn't have done those things. You know, there was so much turmoil and tension in doing those things, but I was, I felt stuck. Felt super, super stuck. I need to get paid. I need to, you know, that's what's keeping me here. Is the only thing that's keeping me here is the paycheck, right? And I, it became very clear over time. I can't keep operating this way. I cannot keep doing the things I'm doing, you know, because I am not being authentic to myself. I don't believe in the things that I'm doing. I don't, I don't want to be doing the things that I'm doing, but I'm still doing them for some reason, right? And so, you know, I think that there's that internal frustration that you have, and that is a huge indicator that you're not being your authentic self.Lesley Logan 27:21 Yeah, I think I look back at my job I had in retail, which I do love and I'm really grateful for. But I kept taking promotions, expecting like the next thing to be better, the next thing to be better, and then I'm like, I gotta move cities, and that's gonna make it better. And then it's—you keep saying, "And then once this happens, then it'll be better." And it's actually no, if that keeps happening, there's something missing, and so you're not fully being authentic. And you got to take some time to think about that means and go get to know yourself. You know, go watch Runaway Bride and see how long it took her to figure out what she liked. You know, it takes time.Brad Crowell 27:52 Yeah, I mean, you know, I think the idea of getting to know yourself will help you create clarity when you have that tension. It's really hard, you know, to step aside and reevaluate things. It often comes with major life change, you know. For him, he was talking about how getting divorced was a reality check, and it made him do a lot of self-inflection.Lesley Logan 28:20 Self-inflection, reflection?Brad Crowell 28:22 Inflection.Lesley Logan 28:24 Self-inflection.Brad Crowell 28:25 Yeah, right? Lesley Logan 28:26 I don't think that's right. I don't want to correct you, but I don't think that's right. Self-inflection?Brad Crowell 28:32 Maybe it's self-reflection.Lesley Logan 28:33 It's reflection. Brad Crowell 28:34 What is inflection? What does that even mean?Lesley Logan 28:36 Well, this is when I'm in—I'm inflecting my voice. Like, I'm doing inflection. I'm inflecting this way. I am doing it like this. Like, inflection is like what you do with sounds.Brad Crowell 28:47 Well, we're gonna inflect in just a minute. So stick around. We'll be right back when we we inflect on those Be It Action Items.Lesley Logan 28:53 Oh my god, you guys! It's a Friday night.Brad Crowell 28:55 It's definitely Thursday.Lesley Logan 29:00 Leave it in. Just leave it in. Brad Crowell 29:03 We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 29:07 All right, welcome back. Let's talk about those be it action items. What bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Polish Peter? He identifies as a recovering people pleaser. He said that if you say yes to everything and everyone except the things that are most important to you, what ends up happening most of the time is the people who are closest to you get hurt the most. I'm going to say that again. If you say yes to everyone else, everyone except for the things that are important to you, the people that are closest to you get hurt the most. That was really interesting to think about. He also pointed out the people who are always told to write business plans, but nobody ever tells you to write a vision for your own personal life. I thought that was also really intriguing. So, but the thing, but let me get back to the thing about the people get hurt the most are the people closest to you. Think about this. This is—this is actually one of the things we talk about with OPC. You gotta put yourself first so that you can be the better you for your family, friends, coworkers, job, whatever it might be. For yourself, you have to put yourself first.Lesley Logan 30:20 I agree. Also, I was just watching a shitty reality TV show, and these people were with terrible people, and they're, you can watch the people-pleasers trying to make it work, and some of it was manipulation and coercion, but they're trying to people-please their way out of the situation, andBrad Crowell 30:35 It was some inflection.Lesley Logan 30:36 Yeah. And other person feel really good, but guess who got hurt? Their friends, their family, the people they cared about, because those people could see this partner is not good for them, and they could see what this person was doing, jumping through hoops to make this partner good for them. And it's, they ended up losing friends and losing connection with family members. And so you ought to be mindful. Yeah, I agree. Your OPC example was perfect. Brad Crowell 31:00 Yeah. Moving on to the business plan for your life, like writing a vision for your life. He said to stop being a people pleaser. He wrote out his own vision for his own life, and he blocked out personal priorities in his calendar to ensure those spots were not taken up by others or other commitments when he was usually saying yes. And he said the payoff was when people would ask for his time. He would say, "Hey, let me get back to you on that," and then he would go sit down and he would think, "Does this align with my vision? Is this going to help me with my vision, or is it going to take me further away from my vision?" Right?Lesley Logan 31:36 I have a filter.Brad Crowell 31:37 But also that sounds super selfish. Does this align with my vision? Is it going to help me with my vision, or is it going to take me further away?Lesley Logan 31:45 I think this selfish needs a rebrand.Brad Crowell 31:48 Right. So self-care isn't selfish. We talked about that a whole lot back in the day, but the idea here is, yeah, it might sound selfish, but because he had not put himself first in the past, his entire life fell apart. So on round two, he was major change needs to happen. I'm going to run all of these things through this filter of how aligned is this thing with what I need for me. In addition to, I'm sure there's ways in there he can do both, but there are certainly things in there that will not serve him at all. And he's, "Hold on a minute. I don't know if I can do this anymore." So good for him. That's a really powerful thing to learn. And now he's helping people with it.Lesley Logan 32:33 Yeah. I also definitely understand feeling bad when I say no to things that don't align with what I want to do. It's not about—I don't feel bad, right? While this is going on, we were asked to be somewhere for an event, and we're available, but it's the only month to be fucking home, the rest of the year, it's it, and so I said we can't make it because it's the only month not on plane, and I'm really excited for you, and so of course I feel some FOMO. I feel, "Oh my God, are we letting people down?" And also, I can't do it. I will not be present enough for October events, November events, December events. I can't do it. So it's actually not selfish because going back to the people pleasing thing, if I had said yes, then the people coming to our events the rest of the year are going to get an exhausted version of me, so I had to say no, and it's not selfish; it's self-preservation.Brad Crowell 33:29 Right.Lesley Logan 33:30 Yeah. Anyways, I like that he said literally every day be with yourself. I do this all the time, so I couldn't agree more. I actually get really annoyed when I can't be with myself for four plus hours. I think it's really important. Find ways to be with yourself. Some people want to be with themselves in movement. Some people want to be themselves meditation, whatever. But you got to be with yourself without the podcast in the ear. I know this podcast, but so as much as I want you to keep listening, find 15 other minutes to be with yourself. But be with yourself. He suggested being in front of a camera or a mirror and just be with yourself and just be quiet. I think that's cool, especially if you don't do things with the camera. I'm in front of a camera all fucking day. I don't want to see my face anymore, so most of my time with myself is not seeing my face. I really appreciate that, but then it's really hilarious because I'll be with myself for four hours, and I'll put a camera. I'm like, "Wow, I walk the dogs like this." But anyways, I couldn't agree more because I think it's really important that you you just take time to be with you without any extra input. So I love that.

What does a war look like when you sit still long enough to draw it? Reportage artist and TED Fellow George Butler sketches the people that the news passes by: a 99-year-old survivor of the Holodomor famine in Ukraine, a man gathering books blasted into a rose garden, an architect whose home was hit by a Russian missile. Urging us to slow down in the age of immediate news, Butler shows how a drawing reveals what a headline can't. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
