Wendy Robinson in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.thecalmzone.net/ The band was formed by Wendy Robinson (vocals) and Polly Hancock (vocals, guitar), initially with a drum machine. This line-up recorded the debut "Don't Go Back" EPon Big Cat UK (catalogue number BBA02) in August 1988) achieving "Single of the Week" in Melody Maker. A John Peel session, produced by Dale Griffin and recorded at the BBC studios in Golders Green, London, was first broadcast on 21 September 1988 and repeated on 11 October 1988. It featured four original songs; "Perfect Dream Home", "Fine Lines", "Dr Fell" and "Backward" Daydream. They then recruited Dana Baldinger (born Seattle,), and signed to One Little Indian Records, releasing "Please Let Me Go" as a single in April 1990; this too attained Single of The Week in Melody Maker. Baldinger was eventually replaced by Anne Rogers of The Crowd Scene.

In this solo episode of Heart Powered Conversations, Kat takes us deep into the true meaning of living a connected life—not just receiving intuitive guidance, but being fully present with all that arises. We often pray for visions, downloads, and deeper intuition, yet when the opportunity to truly connect presents itself—through stillness, discomfort, or deep inner work—we instinctively resist. We run. We distract. We avoid. But what if these very moments of resistance are the portals to the depth and connection we crave? This episode explores: ✨ Why we resist the very stillness we pray for ✨ How discomfort is not an obstacle, but an initiation into deeper connection ✨ The ultimate ego death—releasing the belief that we must do in order to be worthy ✨ How to recognize when efforting and striving are pulling you out of alignment ✨ Walking the "tightrope" between action and pure presence—and how to tell when you've stepped off ✨ The false identities we cling to, how they shape our reality, and how to let them go ✨ The power of witnessing—how revealing your true self creates permission for others ✨ Why connection isn't just about receiving guidance—it's about embodying it and living it fully This episode is an invitation—to stop running from discomfort, to stop striving for validation, and to return to your natural state of being. If you've been craving connection but feeling resistance, this is your moment to pause, breathe, and listen.   Ways to Support the Podcast: ✨ If this episode resonated, please rate & review on your favorite podcast platform!

In this episode of The Unbroken Podcast, we dive into the difference between vulnerability and broadcasting—two behaviors that may look similar but come from very different places. Vulnerability is about authentic connection, courage, and emotional honesty, while broadcasting often stems from a need for validation, control, or attention. We explore how true vulnerability can strengthen relationships and build trust, whereas oversharing can lead to emotional exhaustion and disconnection. We also offer practical ways to find balance—like asking yourself why you're sharing and whether you've fully processed the experience. Vulnerability is powerful when intentional, but when it becomes a performance, it loses its impact. Tune in for insights that will help you share with purpose and connect more meaningfully, both online and off. he Grill Guys/VRC – Your one-stop shop for everything grilling!

And it's all in good fun right.texaswhiskeyfestival.comBadmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Patreon.com/the_whiskeyshamanWhile both whiskey collecting and obsession can involve a strong interest in whiskey, a collection is a curated hobby driven by appreciation and enjoyment, while an obsession can be characterized by an overwhelming and potentially unhealthy fixation.Here's a breakdown of the key differences:Whiskey Collection:Driven by:Personal enjoyment, a deep appreciation for whiskey's cultural and historical significance, and the potential for financial appreciation.Focus:Seeking out bottles based on their scarcity, vintage, origin, and distinct taste profiles.Behavior:Collectors often seek out rare or unique bottles, participate in tasting events, and connect with other enthusiasts.Motivation:The desire to learn about different types of whiskey, their production methods, and their history.Example:A collector might focus on building a collection of single malt Scotch whiskies from specific distilleries, or a collection of rare and vintage bourbons.Whiskey Obsession:Driven by:An overwhelming and potentially unhealthy fixation on whiskey, often to the point where it interferes with other aspects of life.Focus:The obsession can manifest in various ways, such as hoarding bottles, spending excessive amounts of money on whiskey, or neglecting other responsibilities or relationships.Behavior:An obsessive person might constantly seek out new bottles, regardless of their value or taste, and may become argumentative or defensive when their collection or knowledge of whiskey is questioned.Motivation:The motivation can be complex and vary from person to person, but it often involves a need for control, validation, or an escape from other problems.Example:An obsessive person might spend all their free time and money on whiskey, neglecting their family, job, or other hobbies.A Guide to Starting Your Whisky CollectionBy Greg MorrisonThe whisky market can be overwhelming for the prospective collector.

Ronald Carter likes to think of creative styling as an art form: a masterpiece, carefully crafted by imagination and passion. He fell into his career by accident as a struggling actor in need of a side hustle. Ronald was living in Seattle at the time and recalls asking a friend if she knew of anyone who was hiring, and she kindly suggested checking out Eddie Bauer. From there, his retail career took off. At Eddie Bauer, Ronald started as a greeter, and in the three years that followed, he worked his way up to designing floor plans for the corporate office and training new visual managers. He then went on to work for Nordstrom, Anthropologie and Porch. A native of the Pacific Northwest, Susan Esayian has been working in the gift industry professionally for 26 years in a variety of roles. From merchandising Kitchen-Aid mixers to buying fine tableware and even carrying a four-poster bed up a mountainside for a catalog photoshoot, Susan has done it all…and that was just in the first 10 years!Since then, Susan's kept herself immersed in the gift industry as a buyer for a hospital gift shop and merchandiser for several wholesale showrooms and retailers. For Susan, retail isn't just a job; it's a career that she's inspired by and passionate about more every day.Jessica Young has been in retail since 1993. She started out working at The Gap in college, met Michelle at Anthropologie around 20 years ago, and the rest is history. From LA to Atlanta and to Vegas, Jessica has collaborated on tons of different projects. Coming to work on the CMA project with everyone was truly a full-circle moment for Jessica. Dave Sherrier, my super supportive husband, started out in retail when he was a kid but ventured off into construction. Fast forward to today; Dave works most of our gift show setups and wholesale show rooms and does a lot of the buildouts for the retailers we work with, such as Sales Producers, Fine Lines, CMA and many more. In this recap episode, the merchandising team dives into the creative side of the CMA show, including the process and how everything came together. The CMA project came up late in the season in October, and everyone brought along their expertise as strong merchandisers to pull it all off. The group discusses the details of the displays, all the moving parts, twists and turns, and reflections on the completed project.This episode is sponsored by CMA. CMA is a leading professional sales representation group operating throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Hawaii, and Alaska. CMA understands the retail world is constantly evolving and welcomes changing trends as opportunities to bring new and exciting products, as well as tried-and-true best sellers, to retailers and their shoppers.

Have you ever heard of the term "make sureing?" Today, we delve into a term coined by Dr. Jennifer Dragonette to describe our frantic attempts to control situations or emotions beyond our control.  Though often well-intentioned, we explore how this behavior can lead to unintended consequences, especially within family dynamics and relationships. Dr. Jen sheds light on the evolution of “make sureing” and its impact on those doing the make sureing and those being made sured.  Dr. Jen explains how this behavior can inadvertently undermine the competence of others, leading to feelings of resentment and power struggles. I share personal anecdotes about the balancing act of managing a large family, while Dr. Jen offers practical advice on how to shift from controlling behaviors to more supportive approaches.  We also touch upon how these concepts apply beyond the family setting, especially in career transitions and times of emotional stress.

Your child is hesitant about sports, the coach wants to help, and you're caught in the middle—what now? Today’s tricky question tackles the complex dynamics of youth sports anxiety from both the coach's and parent's perspective. Quote of the Episode: "Your child signed up for it. Your child wants to play the sport. It's their experience, so let them have that experience." Key Insights: Parent involvement can often increase rather than decrease child anxiety. Individual acknowledgement by name creates belonging and confidence. Reframing anxiety can help children approach challenges differently. Trust between parents and coaches is essential for child development. The "uphill" moments in sports build character and resilience. Minimising children's feelings about anxiety is counterproductive. The three E's approach: Explore, Explain, Empower. Action Steps for Coaches: Minimise parent involvement during practice/training. Get curious about individual children and their concerns. Acknowledge each child by name and build personal connections. Action Steps for Parents: Trust the coach and step back from direct involvement. Embrace the challenging moments ("love the hills"). Validate feelings without minimising them. Use the three E's: Explore, Explain, Empower. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Active Life Podcast, hosts Larry and Cody delve into the subtle but impactful distinction between social awareness and social anxiety. What starts as a casual recounting of a basketball practice turns into a profound exploration of how our instincts, emotions, and modern environments shape our interactions with others. Larry shares a moment of personal clarity while dribbling, prompting a discussion about the evolutionary roots of social behavior and how technology amplifies our anxieties. They examine: The fundamental differences between social awareness, a present-focused skill for understanding others, and social anxiety, a fear-driven response preoccupied with judgment and rejection. How societal norms and technology hijack our natural instincts, leading to compulsive and fear-based thoughts. Practical tools to cultivate mindfulness and shift from anxiety to awareness, including meditation, breathwork, and reducing dependency on technology. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to deepen their self-awareness, reduce social anxiety, and better navigate the complexities of modern relationships.

“We have a hard time just wanting what we want.” Transformational Freedom is my driving force through personal development and unapologetic gumption to pursue the things I want. Our houses are holding us back. When we feel like we are taking care of our primary role of household manager, spouse, and parent, then we feel free to pursue what we want. 4 Generations of Ambitious Women When you have a great grandmother who gets her teaching degree because it's the only degree a woman can get, you learn to succeed despite limitations. She went on to run a floral shop, a restaurant, and a gift shop which is definitely not what other women were doing those days. AND she divorced her husband! And then you have a grandmother who gets her Home Economics degree because again, limitations. And see her and her husband start a student loan - ish business, you see an example of a woman not waiting for permission. But then goes on to set an even greater example when she remarries and starts up a home economic kit mail order business of sorts out of her home. Like how did people order? She figured it out because it's what she wanted to do. And a mother like mine. She was so focused on business. She started The Fine Line out of our basement and created cases of clothes she bought one weekend in NYC. She did that for 6 years and then sold it for a profit.  Didn't Get Permission, I Went After What I Wanted Which gave me the gumption to start my own babysitting business. The examples of women in my life I saw growing up didn't wait for permission to pursue what they were uniquely created to do. I didn't wait for permission or see someone else doing it. No, I paved my own path to filling up my summer calendar with baby sitting positions. I saw a need and solved a problem for moms who needed to get tasks done and take care of themselves per my suggestion. I used my unique skills of loving children to make money on my terms.  Transformational Freedom At Organize 365® we say “As you let go of one thing, you are open to receiving the next. We strive to unlock your life's purpose through the process of decluttering, organizing, and increasing productivity.” You also don't know what you haven't experienced. I acknowledge that if you haven't seen, for example, a healthy marriage then you don't believe they exist and don't know what they look like. I love the Organize 365® community for this reason. Hopefully you are hearing healthy examples on the podcast and then being exposed to more in the community. Community opens our eyes to possibilities. And because we don't believe in those possibilities, we cling to what we currently have. That's why it's so important to acknowledge letting go of one thing, only to experience something even better. Remember this life is not happening to us, it's happening for us.  Permission Granted Greg didn't flinch when I told him I was going to quit because he knew I would make money still. I had replaced my teaching salary with Creative Memories and planned to grow my organizing business to contribute to the family finances. In my organizing experiences, one client broke down when the last area was done, saying she could finally go back to work. What? The emotional weight of our homes on us women is great. Ladies, our houses hold us back because whether or not you work, you view your household manager role as primary. Organize 365® is here to get you decluttered and organized so you can be productive. Here is your permission to explore what you want and to pursue it. Fly out of your golden cage. Return as much as you want but you are free.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Would your agency be ready for an unexpected acquisition opportunity?

She shares her journey into entrepreneurship, highlighting the transition from the events and hospitality industry to digital marketing, the way her agency's niche organically changed as she and her partner found the right audience, and more recently, her agency's acquisition process, including why she chose to lead negotiations with kindness and their successful earn-out story.

Accidental Agency: When Adaptability Meets Opportunity Kelsey never saw herself as an entrepreneur and had no plans of starting her own business. a chance meeting during an internship in New York would change her career trajectory. There, she met Mackenzie, a fellow intern who years later, would convince her to move to Seattle and start a business with her. As an agency owner, Kelsey found there were new surprises around the corner every quarter and every year. At age 24, she started out with no idea what she was doing; everything seemed new and unexpected. However, she believes this worked to her benefit since she approached the experience with naiveté and willingness to learn. With Kelsey's background in hospitality and travel, and Mackenzie's expertise in digital marketing, the two women initially planned to build an agency serving the hospitality sector. However, upon arriving in Seattle, they faced the significant challenge without a network in their new city. Their proactive networking efforts unexpectedly led them deeper into the local tech industry, naturally evolving their agency's focus and creating a new niche that differed from their original vision. Finding Focus: From Doing It All to Intentional Hiring In their early days, Kelsey and Mackenzie approached client acquisition with an eager, full-service mindset, taking on everything from PR to organic social media and branding. While they managed these diverse projects through talented contractors, Kelsey now realizes their determination to win clients' trust sometimes led them into areas beyond their expertise. As their agency evolved, they naturally discovered their true strengths through client feedback and successful outcomes. The organic process of finding their niche allowed them to recognize and pursue opportunities where their work could truly stand out. For eight years, both partners remained deeply involved in every aspect of the business, from client work to day-to-day operations. The preparation for acquisition marked a significant turning point, prompting them to narrow their roles as founders and delegate responsibilities. Though both partners initially struggled with the emotional challenge of stepping back from daily operations, their strategic approach to hiring made the transition successful. They built a team of talented individuals who often exceeded their own expertise in specific areas. This decision proved transformative – by placing trust in their capable team and focusing on their own areas of expertise, they not only improved the quality of work but also created a more efficient organization. Embracing the Opportunity to Sell Their Agency Selling the agency was not initially part of Kelsey's overall vision, at least not at the eight-year mark. However, a buyer agency reached out with an interest in acquiring Davies and Dixon, which prompted a thorough evaluation of their current circumstances and future aspirations. With two co-founders, Kelsey admits it's difficult to get on the same page in any decision. They were at a crossroads, having invested nearly eight years into building their agency so they laid out the pathways and concluded that, although they were looking for an exit along the ten-year mark, they could push to be ready before that. It was 2021, they were coming out of a tumultuous year with the pandemic and had lost key team members to offers they couldn't match as a small boutique business. Faced with burnout and the strain of navigating an unpredictable economy, they weighed the potential benefits of pursuing the acquisition against the option of pushing through to a planned exit around the ten-year mark. As they explored the acquisition, they concluded the move would align with their overarching goal of supporting their lifestyle while also presenting solutions to the challenges they faced. The integration promised enhanced opportunities for their team, addressed immediate concerns, and positioned the agency for long-term success within a larger framework. So they decided to embrace the opportunity. Maintaining a “No Regrets” Mindset About an Agency Sale The decision to sell their agency came at a pivotal moment. Unlike many agency owners who accept acquisition offers out of exhaustion or overwhelming pressure, Kelsey and her partner approached the opportunity strategically. While the loss of key team members influenced their timing, the decision wasn't made in haste. It was grounded in careful data analysis and thoughtful consideration of future opportunities. Looking back, Kelsey believes there wasn't truly a wrong choice to make, as both paths – selling or continuing independently – offered potential for success. She maintains a strong belief in trusting her gut, embracing a no-regrets mindset that has consistently served her well throughout her career. The acquisition proved to validate their decision-making process: the integration proceeded smoothly, their team found new growth opportunities, and their clients received enhanced services. Lead Negotiations with Kindness to Create the Foundation for Success Kelsey's acquisition deal had an ‘acqui-hire' portion, which means Kelsey and her partner would continue to serve in leadership for two years following the purchase to be a key element in the integration process and in helping scale the agency. According to Kelsey, this changed the negotiation process a bit since she had to consider that she'd be working with the acquirer for some time once a deal was reached. For her, this unique scenario required a thoughtful approach to negotiation where she led with kindness and thoughtfulness, keeping in mind the future success of the agency—and the well-being of its employees—depended on the relationship established during the negotiation process. However, this doesn't mean she said yes to the first offer, they just negotiated with the greater good in mind. They negotiated not only for their own interests but also for the cultural values and benefits that defined their agency. By advocating for policies that prioritized employee welfare—such as PTO policies, work-from-anywhere options, and signing bonuses—they ensured that their team members would continue to thrive in the new environment. By treating the negotiation process with respect and integrity, recognizing that their legacy would be tied to the success of the agency they were joining, Kelsey and her partner were able to create a foundation for success that would extend far beyond the immediate financial implications of the deal. Walking a Fine Line to Negotiate Earn-Out Terms Carefully Kelsey's acquisition deal did include an earn-out, which thankfully they were able to meet after a successful first-year integration. In their case, they decided to maintain open communication with both their team and clients during the earn-out process, which contributed to an impressive retention rate post-acquisition. By fostering trust and transparency, they were able to ease the transition and ensure that clients felt secure in their ongoing relationships with the agency. However, while earn-outs can provide a financial incentive for sellers to ensure the success of the acquired business post-sale, poorly structured earn-out terms can lead to frustration, financial loss, and strained relationships between the parties involved. To avoid this scenario, secure control over client relationships and business operations until the earn-out conditions are met. This involves negotiating terms that keep the acquisition confidential until the seller has fully transitioned and received the agreed-upon compensation. By maintaining control, sellers can ensure that their clients remain engaged and satisfied, which is crucial for achieving the performance metrics tied to the earn-out.
