In this episode, I sit down with Madison Utendahl, founder, CMO, & writer of Burnt on Substack, for her second time on the show. Madison walks us through why she shut down her agency at the height of its success and what it actually took to separate her identity from her work. She opens up about the guilt and shame that shaped her twenties, her 70/30 rule for keeping part of her life untouched by monetizing, and the ketamine therapy experience that helped her heal. Plus, why she believes burnout recovery is bullshit and prevention is the only real strategy.Key Takeaway / Points:Why she closed her profitable agency and the offer she walked away fromThe 70/30 rule: letting a job just be a job so 30% of your life holds no financial expectationWhy "quit your job and follow your passion" doesn't work anymore, and what burnout prevention looks like insteadMoving from guilt and shame around financial privilege into responsibilityHow she grew her following on social media in 60 daysHer non-negotiable 15 minutes every morning to prevent burnout, plus ketamine therapy, phone-free mornings, and finding gratitude in the smallest momentsCheck out Madison's Substack BURNTListen to Madison's first episode on the podcast HEREArticles about company's laying off employees & replacing with AI:https://www.fastcompany.com/91332763/going-ai-first-appears-to-be-backfiring-on-klarna-and-duolingohttps://www.fastcompany.com/91468582/klarna-tried-to-replace-its-workforce-with-aiFollow Madison:Instagram: @madison.utendahlTikTok: @madison.utendahlSubstack: BURNTWebsite: madisonutendahl.comFollow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogersSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogersYouTube: Cameron Rogers
Odds are good that part of your paycheck disappears into an account with the Fidelity name on it every two weeks. Almost nobody stops to ask who's actually on the other end of that relationship. The answer isn't a faceless Wall Street institution, it's one family that has quietly controlled a $15 trillion company for three generations, through boardroom near-mutinies, a succession fight that almost ended in the company being sold, and enough family drama to fill a book. It did, actually. Wall Street Journal reporter Justin Baer spent years uncovering it, and today he brings the whole story down to the basement.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy one of the biggest financial companies in America has never had a single outside shareholder, and what that's actually protected them fromThe surprisingly personal origin story behind Fidelity's founder, and the market-crash lesson that shaped the entire company's philosophyWhy Fidelity almost missed the money market fund revolution, and the workaround that changed how everyday people access their cashThe near-sale that almost happened in 2005, and how close the company came to becoming something completely differentWhy checking your 401k balance more often might actually be good for your financial decision-making, according to Fidelity's own researchHow a family succession battle nearly pushed the current CEO out of the business entirelyA useful mental gut-check for figuring out how much of your "checking account cushion" should actually count as part of your emergency fundWhy This Matters NowIf you're in your 40s, there's a good chance you've had a relationship with Fidelity, Vanguard, or a similar company for two decades without ever really knowing how they work or who's behind them. That's not a knock on you, it's just how most financial relationships start: automatically, through a job, without much choice involved. Understanding the incentives and history behind the company holding your retirement money doesn't change your investing strategy overnight, but it does replace a vague, faceless trust with something more informed, and informed trust is a lot more durable than blind trust.From the BasementA conversation about $189 average dates turns into a surprisingly sharp point about not overspending to impress someone before you even know if it's a match, in relationships or business. And a basement community note about "hidden" emergency funds sitting in checking accounts sparks a genuinely useful reframe worth stealing for your own budget.Resources MentionedHouse of Fidelity: The Rise of the Johnson Dynasty and the Company That Changed American Investing — Justin Baer's book on the Johnson family and Fidelity's historyField Kit Finance — the all-in-one net worth, budgeting, and credit tracking tool mentioned in the sponsor breakSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Does choosing a life-first solo business mean you're lazy? Carly and Joe say absolutely not, and in this episode they explain why.They dig into where the lazy story really comes from, tracing hustle culture from chill seventies hippie vibes to the money-obsessed yuppies of the eighties, and how that conditioning taught us to equate visible sacrifice with worth. From the outside, a life-first business can look like doing less, fewer hours, no team, no big launches. But the truth is the opposite. Laziness is the avoidance of effort. Life-first is the intentional allocation of effort.Carly shares a personal story about her and her husband seeing downtime completely differently, and how fifteen years of his perspective reshaped how she views rest and efficiency. Joe brings his own history of sleeping in the lab and feeling accomplished for it, and why he calls that mindset a warped one he still works to overcome.The conversation also gets honest about the flip side. Sometimes life-first becomes a costume for fear or procrastination. The hosts share the gut-check questions every solopreneur should ask to make sure a boundary is really a boundary and not just avoidance of something hard.The takeaway is simple. Lazy has no plan. Life-first is all plan, all design.In this episodeWhere hustle culture actually came fromThe real difference between lazy and life-firstWhy dinner with your family can count as your workThe gut check to know if you're avoiding hard thingsHow to redefine success on your own termsIf this episode spoke to you, share it with a fellow solopreneur and leave us a five-star review!

In this episode, I'm going to say something that might challenge what you've been taught in the healing space: Most nervous system tools don't actually heal you.Breathwork. Tapping. Grounding techniques.They've become the go-to solutions for regulation.But if you're still getting triggered…still repeating the same emotional patterns…still feeling like you have to “manage” yourself…Then something deeper is being missed.The Problem With Most Nervous System ToolsA lot of what's being taught right now focuses on:Calming the bodyRegulating in the momentManaging emotional reactionsAnd while that can feel helpful, it doesn't create lasting change. Because these tools only come in after the trigger is already activated.They don't address:Why the trigger existsWhere the emotional pattern came fromThe belief driving the reactionSo you stay in a loop of: trigger → tool → temporary relief → repeatWhy Other Approaches Keep You StuckThis is why people:Stay in therapy for yearsKeep using the same techniquesStill feel triggered despite “doing the work”Because they're being taught how to cope, not how to resolve.And when something isn't resolved, you have to keep managing it forever.What Actually Works (My Approach)My work is different.Instead of managing the nervous system, I go to the root of what's dysregulating it in the first place.That means:Identifying the original beliefRevisiting the emotional imprintChanging the meaning of the experienceRewiring the pattern at its sourceWhen I change the belief and the emotion attached to it, the trigger disappears.Not managed. Not controlled. Gone.Why This Creates Real, Lasting ChangeWhen you do this deeper work:You don't need tools to calm downYou don't get triggered in the same wayYou stop repeating the same emotional cyclesBecause you've removed the root cause. And when the root is gone, there's nothing left to regulate.A Personal ExampleI share my experience growing up with fear and strict conditioning that shaped my beliefs about men and relationships.Those beliefs followed me into adulthood until I went back and changed them.Not by breathing through the trigger but by transforming the belief that created it.That's when everything shifted.This Work Requires More — But Gives MoreThis isn't a quick fix.It requires:HonestyVulnerabilityWillingness to revisit discomfortBut the result is something most tools can't give you: Freedom from the pattern — not temporary relief from it.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

Why Knowing Better Still Doesn't Make You Do BetterYou know what to do.You may have read the books, listened to the podcasts, made the plan and even bought a suspiciously expensive notebook for the occasion.And yet, the thing remains undone.In this episode, Michelle explores why knowledge alone does not always lead to action, and why automatic behaviour is often shaped by identity, beliefs, emotions and subconscious ideas about what feels safe.You'll discover why familiar behaviour can feel safer than better behaviour, even when it keeps creating frustrating results.Michelle also explores the hidden protection that may sit behind procrastination, undercharging, people-pleasing and avoiding visibility.In this episode you'll learn:The difference between conscious knowledge and automatic behaviourWhy collecting more information can become another form of avoidanceHow identity influences beliefs, thoughts, emotions and actionsWhy familiar patterns can feel safer than growthWhat procrastination, undercharging and people-pleasing may be protecting you fromThe question to ask when you keep avoiding something you already know how to doHow one small identity-aligned action can create evidence for a new responseReflection Question:When you notice yourself avoiding an action you already know how to take, ask:What might this action mean to me emotionally?It may represent rejection, judgement, responsibility, conflict, visibility or the pressure to sustain success.Understanding the emotional meaning behind the action can help you recognise the real pattern rather than simply blaming yourself for not being disciplined enough.Your next step: Choose one small action that reflects the identity you are becoming.Take it within the next 24 hours.The goal is not perfection.The goal is evidence.Each new action shows your subconscious that a different response is possible.Explore the Hidden Pattern ToolkitThe Hidden Pattern Toolkit helps you identify the pattern behind a current problem, understand what may be keeping it in place and create a practical interruption you can use in real life.Learn more here:https://empoweredlifeprograms.com/toolkit

Jord Cuiper returns, and this one came straight off the back of our last conversation. After a vibrant discussion in our last episode, we had a personal check in, sharing how the experience was for both of us.I shared some honest reflections, and it became clear there was more worth exploring, leading us to this follow up.At the core of this episode we examine the developmental journey that many high achievers and high performers will recognize: First, there's the path of relentless pursuit, often driven by the basic needs we have not yet owned, and the self-protective patterns we have developed along the way.Then comes a second path toward alignment, toward how we feel in the moment, and toward following one's inner truth. But eventually, even that second path can become its own constraint.Because from that place, alignment starts to override one's innate drive toward creation and ambition, but also an honest relationship with reality itself.And it's from that place where the pursuit of the third mountain actually begins, which is what we fundamentally focus on in this interview. For those who have not listened to the last episode, my encouragement is to do so, but it's not a requirement.In this conversation, find out:How the alignment you worked hard to build can end up holding you backThe difference between working hard out of fear and working hard because it genuinely matters to youHow resistance to difficulty can drain you more than the difficulty itselfThe two first mountains: moving from achievement to alignment, and what's waiting on the other side of bothWhy keeping your cup full is not the goal, and why pouring it out for something you care about is where real fulfillment comes fromThe difference between a value and a principleHow to build systems that let you pursue big goals without losing the people who matter mostJord's "more cowbells" principle, and what it means to be the kind of man who shows up for othersThis was one of my more personally raw conversations I've had on this podcast, and I'm grateful to Jord for allowing the space for that.This episode's for anyone who's done the deep inner work yet found themselves, somewhere along the way, at war with their own ambition.—Connect with Alex Lehmann:
If you have ever tried the 5 AM Club or the Miracle Morning and felt like you failed at it, this episode is going to feel like a deep breath. So many of us have downloaded the perfect morning routine, set the early alarm, committed to the exact sequence of activities, and then watched the whole thing fall apart within a week. And when it falls apart, we do not blame the routine. We blame ourselves.In this episode, I am breaking down the 5 AM Club, where it came from, and the one detail about the person who created it that changes how you should think about the entire approach. I looked into the research, the formula, and the man behind the book, and what I found is something almost nobody talks about when they are handing out morning routine advice. If you have ever wondered why these expert routines work beautifully for some people and feel impossible for you, this is the conversation you have been waiting for.What You'll Learn:What the 5 AM Club actually is, including the exact formula it is built on and where it came fromThe one thing about the creator of this routine that should change how you evaluate any productivity adviceThe piece of the morning routine conversation that almost no expert is willing to talk aboutWhat a morning routine is really supposed to do for you, and why it has nothing to do with how productive your day isMentioned in the Episode:Learn my step-by-step process for building a morning routine around your real life and personality, not someone else's in Master Your Morning: www.megansumrell.com/morningThe FREE Master Your Morning Event is Back!Join me July 20 - 24 to discover YOUR perfect morning routine.☀️ www.megansumrell.com/morning________________________________

She Tested 100% Accurate on Camera. Then We Asked About Epstein | Dallisa HockingBefore we touched a single conspiracy, I handed Dallisa a list of 10 questions about my own life that an AI generated at random. Her copper dowsing rods went 10 for 10. Once the rods proved themselves, I started asking the questions most people only whisper about, and the answers came faster than either of us was ready for.Dallisa Hocking is a fifth-generation psychic medium and channeler with over 11 years in the spiritual industry, who spent years predicting much of what we are living through now before Spirit told her to stop forecasting and start activating.This is not a comfort episode.

"There was just this layer of shame. Whether I was a good or bad person essentially tied into all of my food choices."Food struggles can feel like they're completely taking over, but healing really is possible, no matter how long you've felt stuck.

In this powerful episode of She Who Dares Wins, Michelle is joined by Sophie, a trail runner and adventurer who traded everyday comfort for an intense social and survival experiment on a Maldivian desert island.Sophie explains how:A lifetime of running, from competitive school races to joyful trail running after university, set the foundation for bigger adventures.A wild night on the dance floor at Love Trails festival – googly eyes, sequins, and all – led to meeting Danny and joining his crew on a 10‑day, 208‑mile run across Iceland.That Iceland experience became the gateway to something even more extreme: a “human experiment” where 20 people were dropped on a desert island for six days, with only two days of survival training.Together, Michelle and Sophie explore:Survival skills & the reality of ‘paradise'The basics of surviving on an atoll: coconuts, fish, and crabs as the only real food sources.Learning to climb coconut trees, use palm fronds for shelter, and build “questionable” ladders.Spear fishing, line fishing with makeshift plastic‑bottle rods, and using crabs as bait.Food, ethics, and our disconnection from where food comes fromThe emotional impact of killing the animals you eat and facing that reality head‑on.Why wasting a single fish felt so heavy when you'd speared it yourself.How the experience shifted Sophie's relationship with meat, fish, and supermarket food back home.Hunger, morale, and the “emergency rice” dilemmaThe physical and mental crash around day two as the group struggled with heat, exertion, and very few calories.The group vote to bring in emergency rice, and how simply knowing there was a back‑up completely changed morale.The fascinating “tribes” that formed between rice eaters vs. non‑rice eaters, and what that revealed about identity and pride.Community, leadership and group dynamicsHow the group decided to appoint Kelly, an Alaskan hunter and fisher, as a leader – and what it means to “lead from the back”.The challenge of finding enough food for 20 people vs. surviving alone.How everyone eventually “found their groove” and unique role in the micro‑society on the island.Phones, presence, and creative freedomWhat happens when you are suddenly phone‑free and offline: the initial withdrawal, then complete freedom.Discovering how much time and joy re‑appears when you're carving coconuts, playing games, swimming and simply talking – with no schedule and no notifications.The struggle of bringing those lessons back into a “normal” life that's busy, structured and always online.Deep connection and telling the truth about yourselfWhy deep, face‑to‑face connection around a campfire is nothing like “social media connection”.How the island gave people space to tell their real stories, share things they'd held in for years, and be met without judgment.Sophie's biggest personal takeaway: the confidence that she can show up as her full, slightly weird, authentic self and still be accepted.The episode closes with a powerful reflection on what Sophie will leave on the island, what she'll bring home, and how adventures like this can remind us what really matters: presence, people, and permission to be ourselves.To find out more about the experiment and see if you can joing the next one - shoot sophie a message on Instagram @street_sophie For the running adventures check out https://greatsilkrun.com/ Hosted on Acast.

According to the Gospel of John, Our Lady stoodnear the Cross of Jesus (Jn 19: 25-27). But actually she was in the same crowdthat followed Jesus on his way to Calvary. The mother had once met her Sonalong the Via Dolorosa (the Passion of the Lord). The mother looked at her Sonin silence and sadness, but her heart was full of God's grace. A man who made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Simon ofCyrene, was forced to help carry the cross of Jesus. He obeyed even though itwas not Jesus who requested to do such help. Of course, Jesus was very gratefulto him. Simon represented many people who want to help Jesus in his very tragicmoments, but they are afraid of the executioners who punished Jesus so brutaland without mercy. There are those who directly offer their help like Simon,and there are also those whose intentions to help are carried out by other whohave opportunity to help, but there are those who intend not to help and justwatching Jesus from distance. Veronica is a woman who helped Jesus even though shewas not found in any of the four Gospels or other New Testament writings. Thestory of her is found in the apocryphal writings, which are not included in thecanonical scriptures that the Church now has. For example, Pilate's story fromthe 2nd century tells us that a woman named Veronica (Bernice, in Greek) wasthe same woman who had been healed by Jesus from the hemorrhage illness (Mt9,20-22). Veronica defended Jesus before Pilate that Jesus was innocent. Fromthe fourth or fifth century it is recorded that Veronica had a piece of clothwith a picture of the original face of Jesus. The three figures who helped Jesus in His via dolorosawere enough to illustrate that men and women followers of Christ can be goodhelpers to their neighbors. This help is classified into two types. First isthe help in the form of corporal acts of love. A corporal act of love is shownin the carrying the heavy cross of the suffering person like what Simon ofCyrene did. We can help to take up all the burden, a half of it, or a smallpart of it, and those with heavy burden can find it easy to go on in theirjourney of life. The type of spiritual acts also becomes an importanthelp for those in difficulty and suffering. A presence that gives consolation, an encouragement shown, a sense ofcompassion expressed, and a moral or spiritual support provided, all theseare acts of love that can bring joy andpeace for those who suffer and distress. The common way that we do in thisstyle is our sympathy or prayers. Through this, we actually help them to bestrong in bearing the burden and be faithful always to the Lord. This help alsoaims to keep up their spirit and avoid any negative reaction like giving up,anger and losing confidence. Mary and Veronica are exemplary women who havedone this to Jesus Christ. We can do the same as they did.Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O God of mercy, we beg for forgiveness ofour mistakes for not helping others who are in pain and suffering. Hail Mary,full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...
Dating after domestic violence, coercive control, or post-separation abuse is one of the most under-discussed topics in the survivor space. Most people are somewhere between terrified and convinced it's simply not possible for them.In this honest, personal episode, Danielle Black shares what dating after abuse actually looked like from the inside - not a glossy highlight reel, but the real experience of venturing back into connection while still afraid.This episode explores:Why "my picker is broken" is one of the most common fears after abusive relationships - and what to do with itThe difference between waiting until you're not afraid, and doing it afraid anywayWhy safety is not the absence of threat - it is the presence of safe connectionHow self-trust, not trust in another person, is the foundation of healthy relationships after abuseWhat Danielle looked for, paid attention to, and would have walked away fromThe role of nervous system capacity in building new relationships after traumaWhy "not fully healed" is not the same as "not ready"What it means to love fully while trusting yourself to have your own backThis episode follows on from Episode 97, in which Danielle's husband Drew joined the podcast for the first time. It does not require you to have listened to that episode first - but listeners who have will find it deepens what was raised there.If you have wondered whether healthy relationships after abuse are possible for you - or whether you are simply too damaged, too cautious, or too far from ready - this episode is for you.As always, this episode is not legal advice and not therapy.Explore the supports offered by Danielle Black CoachingThe Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™

We cover Peter Jackson's role as producer, the reported writing team behind the film, the early Fellowship of the Ring chapters inspiring the story, and why this project may be more of a future-set mystery than a straight adaptation. We also touch on how this fits alongside The Hunt for Gollum and why this could be one of the more unusual Middle-earth projects in years.Timestamps and Topics:00:00 Introduction to the newly announced Lord of the Rings movie00:08 Peter Jackson producing and Stephen Colbert's writing involvement00:17 The title Shadow of the Past and the early Fellowship chapters tied to the story00:27 The reported timeline set years after Frodo's departure00:33 Sam, Merry, Pippin, and Elanor's possible role in the story00:42 Why the Shire-era chapters have such a different Hobbit-centered feel00:47 Tom Bombadil, the Old Forest, and the Barrow-downs discussion00:53 Why Stephen Colbert's Tolkien fandom makes this project stand out01:03 How Shadow of the Past fits with The Hunt for Gollum and future LOTR moviesKey Takeaways:Warner Bros. has officially announced a new Lord of the Rings movie titled The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the PastStephen Colbert's involvement is the headline, but the bigger story may be the kind of Tolkien material this film is pulling fromThe project appears connected to the early Fellowship of the Ring chapters that Peter Jackson did not fully adapt in the original trilogyThe reported setup suggests this is not just a direct adaptation, but a later-set story tied to old mysteriesSam, Merry, Pippin, and Sam's daughter Elanor could play a major role in this new chapter of Middle-earthThe Hunt for Gollum is still part of Warner Bros.' current Middle-earth plans, making this a bigger push for the franchiseMemorable Quotes:“Here's everything we know about the new Lord of the Rings movie that was just announced.”“The headline is that Stephen Colbert is gonna be writing it.”“He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Lord of the Rings.”“To have him at the helm for this, I'm very, very happy with that.”“What do you guys think about this new Lord of the Rings project?”Call to Action:If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, leave us a review, and share the show with a fellow Tolkien fan using #GeekFreaksHeadlines.

You've sat across from someone who eats two bites of dessert, puts the fork down, and moves on — no guilt, no quiet negotiation, no 'I'll start again Monday.' And part of you has always assumed they're just built differently.They're not. Their software is different. And in this episode, we break down exactly what's running in that calm eater's brain — seven specific mental traits — and why every one of them is a configuration you can change, not a personality you either have or don't.This is the episode that names the quietest lie the diet industry tells: that how you relate to food is fixed. It isn't. And once you see that clearly, the whole game shifts.WHAT WE COVERThe Personality Myth — the lie that calm eaters are born, not madeWhy the noise around food is an identity problem, not a food problemThe Identity Thermostat — and why fighting the temperature never worksAll 7 mental traits, with the contrast between the hijacked brain and the rewired oneWhy Trait 7 (identity leads the behavior) is the master trait everything else flows fromTHE 7 TRAITS1. Food is neutral — no verdict attached, just fuel and pleasure2. The pause before the pull — observation over reaction3. Hunger as signal, not emergency — data, not a five-alarm fire4. No cleanup eating — food isn't a therapist5. Satisfaction as a real stop signal — eating only for what food can give6. Tomorrow has nothing to do with today — no cascades, no all-or-nothing logic7. Identity leads the behavior — the master trait. The dial that runs the room.KEY CONCEPT"Calm eaters aren't fighting the temperature every day. Their thermostat is set to a different default. When the shift happens, these traits stop requiring discipline. They become how you operate."MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEEscape the Willpower Trap — the course where we install these traits module by module, identity shift by identity shift.

I have always wanted to sit down with someone that knows all about Facebook/ Meta ads…how to do them, the cost, and the benefits. And my guest today knows all about this. I spent time talking (actually grilling) Brennan Haelig, the founder of Jumpstart ROI—an agency managing millions in ad spend and known for helping creatives (especially photographers) grow with simple, practical marketing. He even give us the investment potential, both from the cost of the ad to what to expect to pay a pro to help us.Brennan shares journey from losing everything to building a thriving company gives him a grounded, real-world perspective that I think you will be inspired by. And how he ended up understanding the needs of photographers when marketing to potential clients.What to Listen ForThe surprisingly simple, but very effective, ad offer photographers are getting great results fromThe one targeting shift that makes Meta ads actually workWhy “boosting” isn't all bad—and when to use itThe mindset change that can transform your relationship with marketingHis parting thought is to just challenge your limiting beliefs around digital marketing and around paid advertising. Just because you tried it once and it didn't work doesn't mean it can't be a game changer with a few tweaks.Connect with Brennanbrennan@jumpstartroi.comwww.jumpstartroi.com/photographyConnect with Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas: Website Email: luci@lucidumas.comInstagram FacebookYouTubeNew episodes drop every week — make sure to subscribe so you never miss an inspiring guest or a powerful solo episode designed to help you grow your photography business.
You're not afraid of competition. You're afraid of being replaced.That's why you hesitate to join the mastermind full of women like you. Why you stay late instead of delegating. Why the thought of bringing on a podcast guest who does something similar makes your stomach drop.You tell yourself it's about staying focused or protecting your brand. But really? It goes back to that one time another girl made you feel like you weren't enough. Your body still remembers it.Today I'm getting vulnerable and sharing my own sister wound - two events from senior year of high school. I learned it wasn't safe to let other women get close. And that lesson has been steering my business decisions, my collaborations, even who I invite on this podcast.I'm not here to dig up the past for drama's sake. I'm here because I finally figured out why I pull back when I should be leaning in - and you probably do the same thing. Once we know this...we can set ourselves free from our sabotage!What you'll hear:What a sister wound actually is (and the subtle ways it shows up in your business and leadership)Why my fear of being "outshined" was keeping me from bringing on the exact guests you need to hear fromThe 3-section journaling process that goes way deeper than "what are you grateful for" - straight to the emotional rootHow to tell if you're protecting yourself from collaboration, networking, or visibility without even realizing itWhy your younger self created rules to keep you safe - and how to teach her a new definition of belongingBy the end, you'll likely recognize your own pattern. And you'll have the prompts to actually work through it - not just understand it intellectually.This one shifted something big for me. I have a feeling it might for you too.Resources Mentioned:Sister Wounds Journal Prompts: Strategic Journaling to Process & Release Your Sister WoundsFree Calm Mind Blueprint: http://www.samanthapenkoff.com/calm-mind-podWork with me:90 min Breakthrough Intensives: We get to the root of what keeps you performing instead of enjoying.

Welcome to a special 7-episode bonus series: The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Path.I interviewed my most successful clients to find out what actually created transformation for them when nothing else worked. Their answers were surprisingly similar — and I've distilled everything into 7 steps you can follow.In Episode 1, I'm sharing Kelly's story. Kelly had tried everything — practiced hard, read all the mental game books, knew all the right answers. But nothing was working. In fact, she was getting worse.When she reached out to me, she'd had enough. The pain of staying stuck had finally become greater than the fear of doing something different. She was 100% committed.That decision was her real first tee.In this episode, you'll learn:Why you can't halfway change your golf brainWhy vulnerability is where confidence actually comes fromThe difference between commitment and perfectionHow to write your Big Why (your anchor when things get hard)Want the downloadable tools?

There is a food trend that aims to give you glowing skin, supercharged memory, endless energy, and protection from every disease that you can probably think of. You'll have seen the word for it stamped on cereal boxes and blended into smoothies, and it's always talked about by wellness influencers.What is that magic word? Well, it's superfood, of course.But are superfoods really all that super? Short answer: no. But the longer answer is that it affects so many people in negative ways, when there are some very simple other foods we could be eating.So today, I'm debunking superfoods and sharing what you could be eating instead.
