This episode of Boss Bitch Radio is one of the most powerful conversations I've ever had. Nicole Keefe shares her raw and inspiring story of going from years of abuse, self-doubt, and pain - to rebuilding her life with strength, confidence, and true self-love. We talk about:

If you've ever felt like real estate was taking more out of you than it was giving back, you're not alone. Long hours, constant pressure, and the never ending chase for results can leave even the most driven people running on empty. Burnout creeps in quietly, and before you know it, your health, relationships, and love for the job start to suffer.But what if there was another way? What if success wasn't about doing more, but about doing things differently, listening to yourself, leaning into resilience, and building a business that works for you, not against you?In this episode I chat to Chris Henry, who knows that story all too well. Starting his career in the trades before stepping into his mum's real estate business in the Hunter Valley, Chris pushed himself hard in the early years. Chasing the big agent dream eventually landed him in hospital with burnout, forcing him to rethink what success really looks like. Today, he leads River Realty with a focus on people, culture and long term growth, and shares openly about the role of vulnerability, coaching and intuition in creating a more sustainable career.“  A lot of people that I've noticed give up a little too easily on things. And they make some decisions in an emotional moment and completely blow up their current life because of an emotional reaction to something. And so I think over time get as much coaching and training as you can. If you are wanting to develop in real estate, then find a coach that resonates with you. And look at what you want to improve in and seek out those people that are good at those sorts of aspects of your career. Never stop learning and always be the student.” - Chris HenryWe cover:The signs of burnout and what happens if you ignore them, including the impact it can have on both your health and your businessWhy vulnerability is key to better leadership, and how being open and honest can strengthen your relationships with both your team and your clientsHow intuition helps you make the right calls in business and life, especially when the obvious answer isn't always the best oneThe role of coaching and personal development in building resilience, and why it's so important to keep investing in yourself along the wayWhy property management is such a strong foundation for future leaders, giving people real world skills they can carry into any area of real estateWhat it really takes to grow a business without losing yourself along the way, and how to stay true to your values while still chasing growthKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Sensor Global:

In a recent Crosspoint episode, Josh Jackson and Claire Anderson discussed the “hidden epidemic” of mental health challenges among military kids. In this follow-up conversation, Courtney Burdick hosts three fellow military kids—2LT Dani Volle, USA, ENS Mary Ann Leonard, USN, and Matt Taylor—for a roundtable-style reaction episode.  Having met at White Sulphur Springs, OCF's eastern camp and conference center, they discuss stories from their respective military kid experiences, thoughts on Claire's research, and more.  Have thoughts or want to share your own experience?

Send us a textPsalm 27 offers a powerful antidote to fear when facing opposition. This episode dives deep into finding unshakeable confidence when surrounded by enemies. We explore what happens when God is doing something special in your life and others respond with jealousy rather than celebration. The beauty of God's character becomes our meditation—His perfection, His love for the unlovable, His mercy that arrives fresh each morning like the sunrise, and His remarkable patience with a rebellious world.What does Scripture reveal about our future resurrection bodies? Unlike the second resurrection leading to judgment, the first resurrection promises glorified existence. Your future body will need no food, water, or rest, yet can still enjoy these experiences. You'll move between dimensions without limitation, just as Jesus did after His resurrection. No blood flows through these immortal bodies—Christ's blood was fully spent for our salvation. These extraordinary bodies will perfectly match our redeemed spirits, designed for eternal fellowship with God.When facing spiritual warfare, remember Paul's powerful words: "If God is for us, who can be against us?" The creator of the universe stands beside you, fighting battles you could never win alone. His mercy is not recycled or limited—it's fresh and new specifically for your situation today. Whatever you're going through, lift your eyes to contemplate the beauty of the Lord. Your future is secured through Christ, and it's more glorious than your mind can comprehend.Keep looking up. The King is coming.Support the show

What happens when life doesn't unfold the way you thought it would? When the hopes you once held close—marriage, children, grandchildren—don't materialize, or take a completely unexpected path? In this powerful episode, we share the stories of three extraordinary women who bravely open up about their deeply personal experiences of waiting, grieving, and finding meaning in places they never expected. Rachel made the decision to stop trying after years of heartbreaking fertility treatments. Even though the choice was hers, it still hurts, and sometimes in the moments she least expects it (like shul dinners- this was NOT what I expected her to say). Tzipora, a single woman, vulnerably shares that a lot of her pain comes from younger family members who get married and have kids while she is still waiting. Seeing others move forward with their lives, while she is still stuck as the "cool auntie," is just so hard. Peri will never be a grandmother, and she is okay with that. But it's when other people start to brag about the newest baby in their family, or when she needs to put on a brave face for too long, it just becomes too much. More about Rachel Honeyman:  Rachel Honeyman has been involved with IWSTHAB since its early days — first as a recipient of support, then as a board member. Rachel and her husband, Tzvi Doron, are childless-not-by-choice after a painful, 5+ year infertility journey, about which they've both written and spoken publicly (including in Instalives and podcasts for IWSTHAB). While motherhood isn't in the cards for Rachel, she gains great comfort in being able to give back to the IWSTHAB community. Rachel has a Master's in English, runs a marketing and web design agency called HoneyBeBold, and is a martial artist and women's self-defense instructor. She lives in Long Island, NY.

Her viral talk, Things Shadchanim Should Know, reframed the “shidduch crisis” with a more compassionate lens, making her a leading voice in single advocacy. Ranked as the #1 Meaningful People episode of 2022, Tzipora has since traveled globally, speaking at schools, organizations, and events on topics like mental health, leadership, and breaking societal stigmas.

Mollie Kallen, a former elementary educator and counselor, shares her deeply personal journey after being unexpectedly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in April 2023. Her story begins with the shock of diagnosis and the rapid transition from her professional life to becoming a full-time patient. Mollie describes the overwhelming emotions and uncertainty she faced, highlighting the importance of resilience and adaptability in the face of life-altering news. Throughout her treatment, which included multiple rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, Mollie emphasizes the critical role of self-advocacy. She discusses how taking an active role in her care—asking questions, seeking second opinions, and understanding her treatment options—empowered her to make informed decisions. Mollie encourages other patients to speak up and be proactive, stressing that self-advocacy can significantly impact outcomes and overall well-being. Mollie also underscores the value of building a strong support system, or a “village,” during cancer treatment. She credits her family, friends, and fellow patients for providing emotional and practical support throughout her journey. This network helped her navigate the physical and psychological challenges of treatment, offering encouragement, companionship, and assistance with daily tasks. Mollie's experience demonstrates that no one should face cancer alone, and that community is a vital resource for healing. In addition to her personal story, Mollie advocates for better communication between patients and healthcare providers. She believes that open, honest dialogue is essential for effective care and encourages patients to utilize available resources such as counseling, yoga, and music therapy. Mollie highlights the need for practical tools and information to help patients and caregivers manage the complexities of cancer treatment, from understanding medical terminology to coping with side effects. Looking ahead, Mollie is channeling her experiences into advocacy and education. She is writing a book aimed at guiding patients and caregivers through the cancer journey, offering insights, encouragement, and practical advice. Her goal is to empower others to navigate their own diagnoses with confidence and hope, ensuring that no one feels isolated or unprepared as they face the challenges of cancer.Mollie Kallen recounts her unexpected diagnosis with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in April 2023 and the immediate upheaval it caused in her life.She highlights the importance of self-advocacy and being proactive in medical decision-making during cancer treatment.Building a supportive "village" of family, friends, and fellow patients was crucial to her emotional and practical well-being.Mollie advocates for open communication with healthcare providers and the use of resources like counseling, yoga, and music therapy.She is writing a book to help guide other patients and caregivers through the complexities of cancer treatment, drawing from her own experiences.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Kristen Domke: Military Mental Health is Broken  | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this deeply emotional and brutally honest episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, we sit down with Kristen Domke—an Air Force veteran, personal trainer, and survivor—whose life story is nothing short of extraordinary. Kristen opens up about the emotional toll of serving in the military, including multiple deployments, witnessing unimaginable trauma, surviving military sexual assault, and battling intense mental health struggles that led to multiple suicide attempts. Her story is one of heartbreak, resilience, and redemption. After years of numbing pain through alcohol, losing her identity as a military police officer, and feeling completely alone, Kristen finally reached a breaking point—and then, miraculously, a breakthrough. Through intensive treatment, therapy, a renewed connection with faith, and the support of a recovery community, Kristen found the strength to rebuild her life and start healing from the inside out.

What happens when the life you thought you'd built - the one with love, money, recognition - seems to slip away? This week, Elizabeth speaks to Dorinda Medley, author, TV personality and iconic former Real Housewife of New York, about reinvention, resilience and learning to be okay with not being liked by everyone. Dorinda opens up about the loss of her husband, the loneliness that followed fame, and why her departure from Housewives was both painful and necessary. This is a raw, funny, emotional conversation with a woman who's lived many lives - and isn't afraid to talk about all the ways they've fallen apart. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 02:12 Life After Reality TV 03:30 Authenticity and Public Perception 06:37 Dealing with Grief and Loss 14:06 Finding Strength in Vulnerability 19:14 The Impact of Fame 21:56 Housewives' First Visit to Blue Stone Manor 23:03 Behind the Scenes Drama 23:32 Staying Connected with Castmates 25:36 Dealing with Trolls and Haters 29:00 Coping with On-Screen Conflicts 31:19 Reflecting on the Housewives Experience 32:48 Blue Stone Manor Tag Sale 35:57 Life Lessons and Moving Forward

Send us a textTurning fifty isn't just about crossing an age threshold—it's about recognizing the human connections that build resilience throughout a lifetime. In this deeply personal episode, therapist Steve Bisson reflects on the relationships that have shaped his capacity for strength, growth, and recovery across five decades.Steve begins by honoring his parents, whose contrasting yet complementary influences established his foundation. His father, who lacked a paternal role model yet became an exceptional dad himself, taught Steve about honesty and critical thinking. His mother—a glass-ceiling breaker before the term existed—demonstrated determination through her 47-year career and instilled feminist principles that continue to guide Steve's professional approach. Together, they exemplified loyalty, work ethic, and perseverance that became cornerstones of his resilience framework.The episode takes listeners through Steve's "Three Musketeers" friendship with Joce and Frank—a bond spanning 38 years that has weathered countless challenges. Through emotional storytelling, Steve reveals how these lifelong connections, along with other key friendships, professional relationships, and even his therapy clients, have collectively taught him different aspects of resilience. Perhaps most touching is his tribute to his teenage daughters, who continue to teach him patience, emotional expression, and growth even as they navigate their own challenges.Steve's resilience journey illuminates how our capacity to overcome obstacles isn't built in isolation but through meaningful connections that sustain us. Whether you're approaching a milestone birthday, reflecting on your support network, or simply curious about the human factors behind emotional strength, this episode offers valuable insights into how relationships shape our ability to navigate life's inevitable challenges.
