In this episode, I sit down with Chris Larsen, founder of Next-Level Income and someone with over 20 years and nearly three decades in real estate. What I love about Chris's story is where it started: he bought his first rental property at age 21, while he was still a college student at Virginia Tech studying biomechanical engineering. From there he has been involved in around $2 billion in acquisitions across development, private lending, distressed debt, commercial offices, and multifamily syndication. Before real estate, Chris was chasing a very different dream. He was a competitive cyclist with hopes of going pro, until the sudden loss of his best friend at a bike race forced him to ask what he was really doing it all for. That moment set him on a search for financial freedom, and after five years of reading everything he could get his hands on, he landed on real estate as his path. He walks us through the mindset shift from day trading and stress to building something with control, leverage, income, and long term certainty. We get practical about why now is a great time for W-2 earners to move off the sidelines. Chris shares the story of his very first deal, $3,000 down on a townhouse that he house hacked with two roommates, and how a 1031 exchange years later turned that tiny investment into a seven figure return. He is a big believer that real estate is a get rich slow game, and he makes the case for doing even one creative deal a year and letting time, rents, and inflation do the heavy lifting. We also dig into where we are in the real estate cycle. Chris breaks down the roughly 18.5 year cycle, why he thinks we are in the second half where it pays to be the bank, and why keeping some dry powder on the sidelines makes sense right now. Toward the end he shares the two free tools his team built, an interactive book and a Chris Larsen AI coaching assistant, for anyone who wants to go deeper. If you have been waiting for a sign to start building passive income, this conversation is it.

In this guest episode, Nimesh is joined by Mark J Platten for a grounded and powerful conversation about what happens when your soul begins calling you beyond the life, identity or work you have built.Mark shares his lifelong connection with nature and how the Earth has guided, held and supported him throughout his life. For Mark, nature is not just somewhere we go. It is a relationship. It communicates, grounds us and reminds us that we are never truly alone.One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is when Mark shares the guidance he received during COVID: you are doing good work in the world, but it is not your soul work. That message became part of a much deeper transition, eventually leading him out of his academic career and into a new chapter of listening, surrendering and trusting what his soul was calling him towards.Together, Nimesh and Mark explore nature connection, masculine energy, midlife transformation, fear, community, emotional intelligence and why so many people are being called into a more heart-led and soul-aligned way of living.This conversation is for anyone questioning their path, feeling called into change, or sensing that their soul is asking for something deeper.Also available to watch on YouTube.If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and follow the podcast.In This Episode✨ Mark's deep relationship with nature and the Earth✨ What happens when your soul calls you beyond the life you built✨ The difference between good work and soul work✨ Masculine energy, midlife transformation and emotional intelligence✨ Community, fear, change and the importance of elder wisdomWhat You'll Take Away✨ You can be doing good work and still feel called into deeper soul work✨ Nature can help you remember who you truly are✨ Fear does not always mean stop; it may be showing you where growth is calling✨ Men need spaces for honesty, support and emotional connection✨ Surrendering does not mean giving up; it means listening more deeplyGuest BioMark J Platten is a teacher, writer and men's work facilitator whose work explores nature connection, soul alignment, midlife transformation, masculine growth and the relationship between humans and the Earth.

In this episode, I sit down with Sam Primm, a St. Louis investor, entrepreneur, and best-selling author of Own Your Freedom. Sam made a serious jump from a W-2 corporate job into real estate, and he did not play small. Over the last 12 years he has closed more than 2,000 deals and built a rental portfolio worth around $50 million, all without using his own money. What I appreciated most about this conversation is how candid Sam was. He walked me through the early days of buying one rental at a time on the side, the moment he realized he could keep scaling with other people's money, and the systemized way he finally left his job rather than jumping in blind. We also got real about the last couple of years, where higher interest rates and a tougher market forced him to lean into personal development and grind through a genuine mental test. We spent a good chunk of time on mentorship and mindset, because that is where Sam and I are cut from the same cloth. He makes the case for why even the best in the world hire coaches, why poor people look at the cost of something while wealthy people look at the return, and why the fear of failure quietly guarantees that people never succeed. He is also refreshingly blunt about the guru problem in this space and what separates people actually doing deals from those just selling courses. Toward the end, Sam shares what he is focused on now: repositioning a portfolio that got a little too heavy in multifamily during the 2021 and 2022 run-up, and re-honing in on simple single family rentals, which he believes are the best starting point for 90% of newer investors. If you have been on the fence about getting a coach, scared of debt, or afraid to fail, this one will light a fire under you. Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:00 Introduction and the three paydays philosophy 00:22 Meet Sam Primm: 2,000+ deals and a $50 million portfolio using none of his own money 01:51 Sam's path from an engineer's son to full-time investor 02:07 Reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and starting to invest on the side 04:12 The original goal of one rental a year for ten years 04:46 Seeing the power of scaling with other people's money and leaving the job 05:33 Whether Sam leaned on mentors and coaches early on 06:10 Merging with a local investor who taught him to build a real company 07:09 The mental game of going from solo operator to running a company 07:48 Why the last two or three years have been a mental grind 09:41 Why mentorship still matters at every stage 10:14 The Tom Brady example: the best in the world still hire coaches 10:55 Poor people look at cost, wealthy people look at return 11:46 A look inside the Apprentice program and In the Trenches Bootcamp 14:44 Context and perspective: a $10,000 dinner versus a $10,000 wealth tool 16:08 Sam's take on gurus who have never done a deal 17:08 Why coaches who stop doing deals lose touch with the market 18:47 What Sam is focused on today and repositioning the portfolio 19:38 The Branson hotel lesson and roughly $20,000 a month in losses 20:13 Why single family rentals are his calling card 22:24 Two closing nuggets: don't fear debt and expect failure 24:08 Why the first deal going sideways is the best thing that can happen Quotables "Nobody creates wealth with their own money, or they're already wealthy."

Albiona came into a podcast recording nervous, overprepared, and completely thrown off when the tech collapsed mid-interview. What happened next — what her guest did in that moment — stopped her in her tracks. And it's the same thing most parents are missing with their kids. In this solo episode, Albiona shares the story of what Dr. Elisha Goldstein did when everything went wrong, why it moved her so deeply, and how the same principle — helping someone feel truly seen through your own story — is one of the most underused tools in parenting. This one is personal, practical, and worth sharing. Inside, she explores: → What Dr. Goldstein did when the podcast recording fell apart — and why his response was a masterclass in empathy that Albiona couldn't stop thinking about → The difference between expressing empathy and actually helping someone feel seen — and why one lands so much deeper than the other → How storytelling from your own life — not advice, not correction — is the thing that softens a child in a hard moment and makes them actually willing to move toward a solution → Real examples: the homework battle that stopped repeating the moment Albiona shared her own childhood frustration, and what happened when her son finally felt understood → Why kids who don't feel seen act out more — and how making someone feel seen is one of the most powerful connection tools you have, in parenting and in every relationship Connect with Albiona: → Book a Free Discovery Call (1:1 Coaching) — https://www.theparentingreframe.com/coaching → Follow Albiona on Instagram — @theparentingreframe → Join Albiona's Paid Substack Community — https://albiona.substack.com → Email Albiona directly — albiona@theparentingreframe.com Loved this episode?

Send us Fan MailWhat does a 1982 fantasy movie filled with ferrets, bat-people, blue fire, and questionable leather wardrobe choices have to do with leaving teaching?Quite a lot, actually.In this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa uses The Beastmaster as a surprisingly useful map for teacher career transition.Dar begins the movie believing he is on a revenge mission. His home is gone. His identity has been shattered. The people in power have caused real harm, and he has every reason to be angry.That emotional starting point may feel familiar to teachers preparing to leave the classroom.The hero's greatest strength is the very thing others see as strange. That same pattern shows up for teachers, who often minimize skills like communication, adaptability, leadership, relationship-building, and crisis management because they were treated as “just part of the job.”This episode explores:• Why your “weird” strengths may be your most valuable transferable skills • How networking is really built through trust and reputation • Why leaving teaching can feel like losing part of your identity • The difference between escaping a harmful system and building a better future • Why you are not starting over. You are learning to name what you already know how to doYour transition does not have to stay focused on what education took from you.It can become a rescue mission for your health, confidence, voice, family, and future.LinksThe Beastmaster on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083630/Schedule a free Discovery Session: https://teachersintransition.com/calendarListen to Teachers in Transition: https://teachersintransition.buzzsprout.comQuestions or movie suggestions: Vanessa@TeachersinTransition.comOptional support for the podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/277608/supportSupport the Podcast!If you enjoy this scrappy little indie podcast, please consider:sharing the episode with a teacher friendleaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotifysupporting the show financially starting at just $3/month Support Teachers in Transition Connect with Vanessa Jackson

Effective Fitness for Women: Fat Loss & Muscle Gain for Fitness Beginners
I know you've got the podcast on right now, maybe in the car, maybe washing dishes, maybe folding laundry way later than you meant to be up. And if you're anything like the moms I work with, you've already learned a lot. Protein, progressive overload, strength training for moms, all of it. You've read the blogs. You've grabbed the free guides. You've genuinely done the research. So why does it still feel like nothing has changed? In this episode I'm getting really honest about a pattern I see over and over with the women I coach, and it's probably not what you think it is. It's not a discipline problem. It's not even really an information problem, and once I explain what I mean by that, I think it's going to land differently than you expect. I'm also telling you about my kitchen cabinets. Yes, really. It's a story about hours of research, a project that went nowhere for way too long, and what actually got me results in the end (spoiler, it wasn't more research). If you've been listening to podcast after podcast and trying program after program and you're still stuck in the same spot, I made this one for you.

In this solo episode, Nimesh explores the current energetic shift and why so many people are feeling unsettled, emotional, in limbo, or unsure of what is coming next.This episode is a follow-on from the recent conversations around the shift, but it goes deeper into presence. Not presence as a spiritual concept, but presence as something the human self can find uncomfortable when life feels uncertain.Many of us are used to searching for answers, healing, analysing, planning and trying to understand what everything means. But what if this phase is asking us to stop searching for a moment and simply be with what is here?Nimesh shares how the space between the old life and the new life can feel like a void. The old version no longer fits, but the new version has not fully landed. In that space, expectations, emotions, relationships, old identities and suppressed feelings can rise to the surface.This is not a time to bypass what you feel. It is a time to be honest with yourself, release the pressure to understand everything, connect with your guides, and trust that the answers will come in divine timing.This episode is for anyone feeling emotional, uncomfortable, uncertain, physically sensitive, or aware that something deep is shifting within them and around them.Also available to watch on YouTube.If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and follow the podcast.In This Episode✨ Why the present can feel uncomfortable during a spiritual shift✨ The void between the old life and the new life✨ Why searching for answers can become a form of safety✨ How to feel emotions without analysing or suppressing them✨ Building a deeper connection with your guides and soul teamWhat You'll Take Away✨ Presence is one of the most powerful tools during uncertain times✨ You do not need to understand every emotion before you feel it✨ Expectations can make the current phase feel heavier✨ Your guides and higher self are supporting you, even when answers are not clear✨ Divine timing may bring clarity when you are ready to receive itContinue Your Journey✨ Spiritual Journey MembershipJoin a safe and supportive spiritual community with monthly teachings, guided meditations, energy updates and space to grow alongside others on the path.https://nimesh-radia.com/spiritual-membership/✨ Book a Free Discovery Call with NimeshIf this episode speaks to where you are right now, you can book a free discovery call to explore spiritual mentorship, Akashic Records or deeper support.https://calendly.com/spiritualjourney/30min✨ Explore an Akashic Record ReadingIf you feel called to understand your soul contracts, patterns, purpose or guidance more deeply, an Akashic Record Reading can support that journey.https://calendly.com/spiritualjourney/akashic-record-readingConnect with NimeshEmail: nims@nimesh-radia.comWebsite: https://nimesh-radia.comPodcast: https://nimesh-radia.com/podcast/Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/spiritualjourney/30minAkashic Record Reading: https://calendly.com/spiritualjourney/akashic-record-readingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nimesh_radia/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nimesh.radiaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nimesh-radiaReflectionWhat are you still trying to understand that your soul may simply be asking you to feel?This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp
Are you trapped in a loop of toxic relationships, or feeling like your marriage has turned into a transactional business deal rather than a deep, soulful connection?In this episode of the Married and Connected Podcast, host Kameran Alareqi sits down with licensed marriage and family therapist, social worker, and Epic Love Expert Chaya Garcia (known on socials as the @EpicLoveExpert). Together, they dive deep into the raw, uncomfortable truths about codependency, accountability, emotional intimacy, and what it truly takes to move from a basic "exchange" to a sustainable, extraordinary marriage.Chaya shares her powerful personal journey—from being a 26-year-old high-achiever who seemingly "had it all" to finding herself in the fetal position after being left for drugs by an addict boyfriend. That divine rock-bottom moment sparked an obsession with understanding relationship dynamics, breaking subconscious patterns, and uncovering why we attract the very things we fear.If you are ready to stop pointing fingers, take ownership of your inner child, and elevate your relationship standards to build a peaceful, thriving home, this episode is a must-listen.Key Takeaways from This Episode:The Divinity of Accountability: It is easy to blame a narcissist or an addict, but true healing begins when we ask: "How did I attract and tolerate this scene?" Choosing to stay in an unhealthy dynamic is a form of self-abuse.The Modern Reality of Codependency: Codependency is a genuine addiction to a relationship, approval, and intermittent validation. High-achieving, independent women often fall into codependent traps because they use control as a mechanism to avoid deep-seated abandonment wounds.True Forgiveness Equals Freedom: Forgiveness isn't about condoning bad behavior or pretending to forget; it is an internal release that removes the shackles of trauma and hatred so you can protect your own peace and mind.The 3 pillars of a Sustainable Marriage: To build an "epic love," a relationship requires Safety (emotional, physical, and sexual), Spirituality (faith and attachment to a higher power), and absolute Sobriety from active emotional or physical addictions.The Ultimate Flex: A successful life isn't defined by cars, houses, or status. The ultimate accomplishment is creating a calm, consistent, "utopian" sanctuary within the four walls of your home where your family can genuinely thrive.Insightful Quotes From the Episode:"You don't attract what you want. You attract who you are." — Chaya Garcia"If you are allowing someone to treat you poorly, you're just as sick as them. They might be leaving you with another person, but you're leaving you too." — Chaya Garcia"Loving someone from afar might mean no contact. You can pray for them, you can wish them well, you can forgive them—but they don't get access to you anymore." — Kameran AlareqiConnect with Chaya Garcia:Instagram / Socials: @EpicLoveExpertBook a Free Discovery Call: connectwithchaya.com (Note: Spelled 'Chaya' in url)Free Training on Dating Mistakes: epiclovemastery.comConnect with Kameran Alareqi:Instagram / Socials: @married.and.connectedBook a Free Consultation CallKameran's websiteBuy Kameran's book on AmazonJoin the Free Skool Community "Verafy" Your RelationshipDisclaimer: The viewpoints, opinions, and advice expressed by the guest during this episode are solely those of Chaya Garcia and do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints, philosophies, or positions of Married and Connected or Kameran Alareqi herself.Support the show

Keith Gillispie deployed overseas 13 times as an active duty Marine. His kids didn't know who he was. That was the moment he decided real estate would be his path to financial freedom and time with his family. Now he runs two companies, coaches high-income W-2 earners and military investors, and has helped hundreds of investors build businesses that run on systems instead of chaos. In this episode, Chris sits down with Keith, founder of REI Automated, to talk about what it actually takes to build a real estate business when you are strapped for time. Keith works primarily with active duty military, first responders, executives, and other high-demand professionals who are making good money but have no time to spare. His answer to that problem is automation, and his platform has systematized more than 90% of the repetitive, time-consuming tasks that keep most investors stuck in the weeds. Keith also breaks down the three ingredients every investor needs to succeed: the right education, the right systems, and the right support. He explains why most people in the so-called coaching space are not actually coaches, how to vet who you learn from, and why asking for help is the one thing most former military investors resist the longest. One of his clients, an active duty naval officer carrying a full course load, closed his tenth deal in under a year. The excuse is not the issue. The system is. Key Takeaways Every business that has stood the test of time runs on systems. Once you build the right systems, you can automate the majority of your workflow and let a computer do the repetitive work so you can focus on what actually drives revenue. There are three ingredients you need to succeed in real estate: the right education, the right systems, and the right support. You can have the first two and still burn out or quit without someone in your corner who has been through it. Busy work that does not drive revenue will kill your business. Rule number one is keep revenue in first position. If what you are doing right now is not moving a deal forward, stop and get on the phone with sellers. Most people in the education space are not coaches. Before you invest in someone's program, find out if they are actively doing deals, not just talking about them. Real coaching comes from people who are still in the trenches. Success leaves clues, but you have to meet people where they are. If someone is in chapter 15 of their journey and you are in chapter one, do not copy what they are doing now. Ask them what they did at the beginning.

Effective Fitness for Women: Fat Loss & Muscle Gain for Fitness Beginners
Okay, be honest with me for a second. How many times have you jumped into a new program, all fired up, only to fizzle out three weeks later and feel worse than when you started? I've worked with a lot of moms at this point, and here's what I've learned: not everyone who wants to lose fat is actually ready to lose fat. And that's not a bad thing to admit. It's actually the first step toward real, lasting change. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something most coaches won't tell you. I'm walking you through the signs that tell you whether you're truly ready for a structured fat loss program, or whether you need to do a little groundwork first. We're talking mindset, sacrifice, accountability, emotional capacity, and one sneaky habit that keeps so many moms stuck in the same cycle year after year. If you've ever felt like you failed a program, I want you to hear this before you blame yourself. Sometimes it's not about willpower. It's about timing and readiness. Whether you're ready to dive in or you need to build your foundation first, this episode will help you know exactly what your next step should be. -Rachel Next Steps: Whether you're ready to jump in or you're just not sure yet, book a Free Discovery Call and we'll talk through it Fat Loss Formula Coaching Program

Send us Fan MailHave you ever felt like teaching has become one long marathon...where everyone expects you to sprint?In this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa shares an unexpected lesson from a 3,000-mile solo road trip. She planned to write, record podcasts, and make progress on her business. Instead, she spent most of the trip managing recovery, sleep, hydration, and a very opinionated knee.That experience led to a realization that many educators desperately need to hear:You can't always be at your best. Otherwise, it wouldn't be your best—it would be your normal.This episode explores why experienced teachers are sometimes unfairly labeled "bitter” and why learning to adapt is more sustainable than simply enduring.Whether you're planning to remain in education or considering a career transition, this episode offers practical strategies for protecting your energy, building career capacity, and preparing for your future one step at a time.In This EpisodeWhy sprinting is a terrible strategy for a marathonThe hidden cost of expecting teachers to operate at 110% every dayWhy experienced teachers aren't "bitter"—they've become efficientHow schools unintentionally prevent veteran teachers from benefiting from experienceThe difference between activity and impactWhy experience is supposed to pay dividendsThe importance of recovery as part of professional excellenceThe Teacher Hack: Budget Bumper TimeCareer Transition Strategy: Build capacity before you need itWhy you shouldn't "buy new running shoes on marathon day"Practical ways to prepare for a career transition without overwhelming yourselfHow strategic upskilling can help you prepare for your next career before you need itResources Mentioned• Teachers in Transition: https://teachersintransition.com• Schedule a free Discovery Call:https://teachersintransition.com/calendar• Find Your Bearings (career direction program):https://teachersintransition.com• LinkedIn Learning:https://www.linkedin.com/learning/• Coursera:https://www.coursera.org• Udemy:https://www.udemy.comHave a question or an idea for a future episode?Email Vanessa:Vanessa@TeachersInTransition.comIf this episode encouraged you...Please follow the podcast, leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, and share it with a teacher who needs the reminder that sustainable excellence isn't about sprinting every day.Sometimes the bravest thing we can do isn't push harder.Sometimes it's learning to pace ourselves wisely.

In this solo episode, Nimesh explores the powerful spiritual shift many people are feeling right now, both personally and collectively.This is not just another period of change. Many are experiencing more in days and weeks than they previously would have processed in months or even years. Old identities are falling away, soul contracts are shifting, relationships are changing, and the version of life that once felt familiar may no longer feel aligned.Nimesh shares reflections on the current collective energy, the movement from ego-led living into heart-led embodiment, and the deeper shift from divine masculine into divine feminine energy. This is a time where many people are being asked to stop shrinking, stop waiting, and begin taking aligned action from the soul.This episode is not about forcing big decisions or needing to know every step ahead. It is about learning to trust what you feel, listening to your intuition, building a deeper relationship with your guides, and taking one aligned step at a time.Nimesh also explores the difference between a personal shift and a collective shift, and why so many people are feeling uncomfortable, emotional, unbalanced or unsure of what is coming next.

In this guest episode, Nimesh is joined by Louise Chong for a deeply soulful and practical conversation about soul contracts, spiritual guides, the Akashic Records, healing, and the powerful connection between our inner world and the homes we live in.Louise shares her journey through a dark night of the soul, a period where life felt heavy from many directions. Her health, family responsibilities, relationship changes, and the pressure of holding everything together all became part of a deeper awakening. In that moment, she realised she could no longer carry everything alone.Through counselling, spiritual mentorship, journaling, meditation and the Akashic Records, Louise began to understand her experiences from a wider soul perspective. She speaks honestly about the soul contracts connected to relationships, family, motherhood and home, and how seeing these experiences through the lens of the soul helped her move through pain with more awareness, compassion and trust.This conversation is a reminder that spiritual growth is not about pretending the human experience is easy. It is about learning how to be supported through it. Nimesh and Louise explore why asking for help is such an important part of the path, both from people in the human world and from the guides, energy and unseen support around us.Louise also shares the beautiful work of House Whispering, a modality that explores the relationship between the energy of a home and the people living in it. She explains how homes can hold memory, history, emotion and story, and how the spaces around us can often reflect what is happening within us.This episode is for anyone moving through relationship challenges, family healing, spiritual awakening, a dark night of the soul, or a deeper calling to understand the energy of their life and home. It is an invitation to ask for help, trust what you feel, and follow where your heart is guiding you next.Also available to watch on YouTube.If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and follow the podcast.In This Episode✨ Louise's journey through a dark night of the soul and deep healing✨ How soul contracts can shape relationships, family dynamics and awakening✨ Why asking for help is a powerful part of the spiritual path✨ How guides can communicate through feelings, dreams, signs and synchronicities✨ What House Whispering reveals about the energy of homeWhat You'll Take Away✨ You do not have to carry everything alone✨ Painful relationships can hold deeper soul lessons and healing✨ Your guides may already be supporting you in ways you are beginning to notice✨ Your home can reflect your inner world, energy and growth✨ Following your heart can open the next chapter of your spiritual journeyGuest BioLouise Chong is a House Whispering Consultant, Spiritual Mentor, Akashic Record Reader and Angelic Reiki Master.

Most people who haven't done their first creative real estate deal don't have an ability problem. They have a clarity problem. There is a big difference between the two, and it is the reason so many investors stay stuck collecting strategies, watching videos, and taking courses without ever actually closing a deal. In this solo episode, Chris breaks down exactly why clarity is the missing piece for most people considering creative real estate, and why the 3 Paydays™ Live event exists. After the 2008 crash wiped him out after nearly two decades in the business, Chris realized that even experience doesn't give you clarity on its own. What changed everything was proximity: getting in the room, watching real conversations happen in real time, and seeing how deals actually come together from lead to structure to close. That is the environment 3 Paydays™ Live is built to create. No outside speakers selling from the stage. No fluff panels. No theory-heavy presentations. Just Chris and the Smart Real Estate Coach family team, with over 104 years of combined experience and billions of dollars in transactions, walking you through the complete sequence: how the lead comes in, what the discovery conversation looks like, how to structure a deal that works for both parties, and how the 3 Paydays™ model generates between $45,000 and $350,000 per deal. 3 Paydays™ Live runs September 27 through 29 in Warwick, Rhode Island. Tickets are available now for a $97 refundable deposit when you show up. Key Takeaways The barrier to your first creative real estate deal is not ability or readiness, it is clarity. Once you see the full process clearly, the action follows naturally. Collecting strategies, scripts, and courses in pieces is like doing a puzzle without the box. Deals happen in a specific logical sequence, and you need to see the whole picture to execute confidently. Proximity accelerates everything. Watching real conversations and real deal structures happen in real time compresses years of learning into months, just as it did for Chris after the 2008 crash. The 3 Paydays™ model replaces the transactional treadmill of one-time paydays with three separate income streams from a single deal, generating between $45,000 and $350,000 per deal across the community. You do not become ready by waiting. Readiness comes from exposure, association, and seeing how deals actually work, not from studying more content alone.

You can't go back and redo your childhood. But you can stop unconsciously parenting the child inside of you instead of the child standing in front of you. In this solo episode, Albiona reframes the popular idea of “reparenting” into something more useful, more honest, and a lot more doable. This one gets personal. Albiona walks through real coaching examples — including a mom who kept over-giving love and attention because that's what she needed as a child, only to watch her independent, strong-willed daughter resist it every time — to show what it actually looks like to stop healing your own childhood through your kid and start showing up as the steady, regulated parent they need. Inside, she explores: → Why “reparenting” as a redo can quietly turn into a victim complex — and the difference between honoring what was hard and getting stuck blaming it → The question to ask yourself in hard parenting moments: am I parenting the child in front of me, or the child inside of me? → A real coaching example of a mom who over-gave love and attention to heal her own neglect — and why her free-spirited, independent daughter needed boundaries instead → Why a happy child isn't the measure of good parenting — and how tying your worth as a parent to your child's emotions sets you both up to struggle → How to interrupt default patterns like yelling, shaming, or threatening — and what it actually means to cultivate your own inner parent in the moment it counts Connect with Albiona: → Book a Free Discovery Call (1:1 Coaching) — https://www.theparentingreframe.com/coaching → Follow Albiona on Instagram — @theparentingreframe → Join Albiona's Paid Substack Community — https://albiona.substack.com → Email Albiona directly — albiona@theparentingreframe.com Loved this episode? Please rate, review, and share this one with a parent who keeps wondering why all their love and effort isn't landing the way they expected. Sometimes the most healing thing we can do isn't give our kids what we needed — it's learn to give it to ourselves. Until next time, Albiona
The conversations that follow an Alzheimer's diagnosis can feel tender, awkward, and overwhelming.But avoiding them does not make them easier.In this episode, Amy and end-of-life doula Sandra Newsome walk through a practical conversation starter guide that can help you begin with more calm, clarity, and compassion.What to Listen For[00:47] The tender place many families start from. [01:40] The conversation guide Sandra recommends. [02:20] The deceptively simple question that can reveal what your loved one values most. [03:08] The concept of compressed morbidity. [04:08] Why how you live today can affect how you live through the end of life. [06:52] The question that helps identify who and what supports you during difficult times. [07:40] Why “what matters to me through the end of my life” is not a question to rush. [10:09] What steps Sandra recommends before asking your parent. [12:14] The reason timing matters so much. [15:28] The family conversation that may need to happen if your parent does not want details, but you do. [17:10] Who should know what — and how family dynamics can affect what gets shared. [18:32] Why the right timing and setting can make this conversation feel more possible. [19:30] The sentence Sandra uses to explain why these conversations cannot wait forever. [21:00] How planning ahead can become a gift to the very people you are trying to protect. [22:54] Why role-playing the conversation can help you. An Alzheimer's diagnosis can make the future feel uncertain, but these conversations help bring some steadiness back. Start with one question, give yourself time to sit with the answers, and remember: this is not about getting everything perfect.Listen to this episode to learn how to start the conversation, then continue with Part 3 where Amy and Sandra talk about the documents, decisions, and plans families need to have in place.Resources MentionedThe Conversation Project: https://theconversationproject.org/Amy's First Steps Guide: https://www.amylangcoaching.com/firststepsBeing Mortal by Atul Gawande: https://atulgawande.com/book/being-mortal/How We Live Is How We Die by Pema Chödrön: https://pemachodronfoundation.org/product/how-we-live-is-how-we-die-book/Recommended EpisodesAlzheimer's Diagnosis: The Conversation to Start Early with Sandra Newsome (Part 1 of 3)Alzheimer's Diagnosis: What to Put in Place Now - Coming Soon!After an Alzheimer's Diagnosis: A Family ChecklistHow to Build an Alzheimer's Care TeamMy Mom Was Diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

What if your fitness goals focused on getting stronger instead of just losing weight? In this episode, we're talking about why strength training is one of the most important things women over 40 can do for longevity, healthy aging, and maintaining independence as they get older.

Effective Fitness for Women: Fat Loss & Muscle Gain for Fitness Beginners
If you've been showing up to every workout, staying consistent, and doing everything "right," but your body still looks the same... this episode is for you. I'm taking you back to 2018, sweating it out in the corner of my gym, hiding in the squat rack farthest from anyone who looked like they knew what they were doing. I thought I understood strength training for beginners. I was consistent. I was showing up. So why wasn't anything changing? Turns out, there was one piece of the puzzle I was missing completely, something that almost nobody talks about in group fitness classes or YouTube workouts. And once I figured it out, everything shifted. In this episode, I'm sharing the exact question I now ask myself (and my own clients, and even my daughter) at the end of every single set to know whether I'm actually working hard enough to make progress or just going through the motions and hoping for the best. If you've ever wondered whether your effort level is actually doing anything, or if you've hit a frustrating plateau and can't figure out why, you'll want to grab a notebook for this one.

In this episode, Chris sits down with Dr. Nicole Cain, a trauma-informed clinical psychologist, naturopathic physician, and author of Panic Proof, to talk about something most real estate investors never discuss: how unresolved stress and trauma show up in the body and directly impact your ability to build a business. Whether it was the 2008 crash, a loss, or years of financial pressure, the nervous system keeps score, and it will keep reenacting those events until they are resolved. Dr. Cain breaks down the difference between fear, anxiety, and panic, explains why your symptoms are not the problem but a message, and walks through nine distinct types of anxiety that most conventional medicine misses entirely. From gut anxiety to trauma anxiety to hormonal and immune-driven responses, this conversation gives you a framework to actually understand what is happening in your body and what to do about it. If you have been learning, preparing, and still not taking action in your business, this episode may explain exactly why.
