What if you could bend time — not to do more, but to experience more joy, energy, and fulfillment? In this powerful episode of Got Clutter? Get Organized!, I'm joined by Michelle Niemeyer, a former attorney who turned her own burnout into a blueprint for transformation. After more than 20 years in law, a divorce, and an autoimmune diagnosis, Michelle realized something had to change. She went back to school, became a certified health coach, and immersed herself in the science of wellness, motivation, and happiness. What emerged was The Art of Bending Time — a simple, holistic system that helps clients reclaim up to 10+ hours of productive time each week while restoring peace and purpose to their lives. We discuss how your health, routines, and even your home environment play a role in burnout and recovery — and how reconnecting with your joy can change everything. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How burnout led Michelle to develop The Art of Bending Time The connection between joy, health, productivity, and organization Why aligning your routines, space, and schedule can unlock clarity Real-life results from people who reclaimed time and fulfillment How to enter 2026 with intention — not exhaustion Connect with Michelle Niemeyer: Text: 3377 Clarity Website: https://www.michelleniemeyer.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theartofbendingtime LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-niemeyer-3997936/

When King Ahaz faced the terrifying prospect of war, his heart shook "as the trees of the forest shake before the wind." Desperate for security, he sought political alliances rather than divine promises. But God's answer to national crisis wasn't a military strategy; it was a child, born of a Virgin—Immanuel. In part 1 of a special 12-part series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, listen in as the historical drama of the Syro-Ephraimitic War, Ahaz's false piety, and messianic promise collide.  The Rev. Greyson Grenz, associate pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church, Monroe, MI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, to study Isaiah 7:1-17.  To learn more about Trinity Lutheran, visit tlcmonroe.org. This Advent series begins by covering the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, and then spends twelve episodes alternating between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, tracing God's promises from Isaiah to the birth of Christ. The series explores Emmanuel's promise, the Davidic King, John the Baptist as forerunner, and reaches its climax with the Nativity. The final episodes examine the Suffering Servant, the shadow of the cross in Christ's infancy, Isaiah's Messianic mission statement, and John's declaration that "the Word became flesh."  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

John brings deep experience across e-commerce, DTC, and final-mile logistics, giving listeners a practical look at where warehouse operations need to evolve and why. He explains how fulfillment success increasingly depends on reliability, density, carrier mix, and the experience customers have from checkout to doorstep. Throughout the conversation, John breaks down how inconsistent carriers, messy data, and rising expectations influence every operational decision. His insights help operators rethink the role their warehouses play in brand experience and customer retention, especially as fast delivery is expected rather than exceptional.Learn more about Brecham Group here.

Most founders expect happiness to arrive the moment the wire hits. But, as Jerome shares in this powerful solo episode, many founders feel more lost after a successful exit than before it. Even when the deal is smooth, the number is hit, and every professional metric says success, the internal experience can feel hollow. Jerome breaks down why joy does not automatically follow liquidity, why identity and purpose collapse after exiting, and how founders can avoid falling into the Post-Exit Void.  He reveals the psychological sequence that unfolds after the deal closes, the hidden shame founders rarely admit, and a new definition of a successful exit that goes far beyond valuation. If you are building toward a liquidity event or still unraveling after one, this episode will give you clarity, language, and next steps to regain meaning, coherence, and direction.  [00:00 – 03:10] The Myth of Automatic Post-Exit Happiness Founders often assume money will solve everything, but joy after a liquidity event is short-lived Adaptation to newfound wealth happens quickly, leaving many wondering what now Without a plan for life after the exit, the reality feels empty even if the transaction went perfectly [03:11 – 06:20] The Rare Reality of a Successful Exit Very few founders experience a truly fulfilling exit because the odds of long-term business survival are low Exiting into a void, rather than into a purpose, creates regret Shame, invisibility, and fear of sounding ungrateful keep founders from speaking up [06:21 – 09:15] Identity Displacement After the Exit A founder's identity is tied to being needed, active, and in motion When the business is gone, structure and community disappear with it Having 40 to 60 hours returned each week creates disorientation if unplanned [09:16 – 12:00] Purpose Disruption and the Search for Meaning The business once supplied mission, direction, and a scoreboard Post exit, fear and scarcity can prevent new pursuits from forming Purpose is rooted in people and problems, not in finding a new distraction [12:01 – 14:45] Deconstructing the Fantasy of I Will Be Happy When Liquidity events do not bring lasting relief, completion, or peace An exit is not a finish line. It is the beginning of another chapter Money creates capacity, not identity [14:46 – 18:00] A New Definition of a Successful Exit Success cannot be measured by payout alone. Fulfillment, belonging, and identity must be included Without preparing for life after the transaction, founders may long for the company they left Exit readiness protects founders from forced exits due to death, disease, burnout, or divorce Key Quotes: “Money is capacity, not identity. Time is space, not direction. Freedom is potential, not fulfillment.” - Jerome Myers“Many founders hit their number and still wonder why they feel empty. The exit does not answer the question of who you are.” - Jerome Myers Join industry leaders shaping the future and secure your spot at the Exit Planning Summit today! https://exitplanningsummit.com/speakers Ready for your next chapter?Start Your Assessment Now

Do you find yourself giving in to others or letting go of your boundaries just to feel loved, included, or accepted? If this sounds familiar, take heart; it's an extremely common issue. Healthy boundaries are essential for healthy relationships, but it's often tough to create and enforce strong boundaries –especially if they weren't modeled in your early years. In today's episode, I'm joined by a powerful relationship expert, Dr. Margaret Cochran, who will help us navigate the connection between boundaries, cognitive distortions, and getting unstuck from patterns that hold you back. Topics discussed include healthy boundaries, porous boundaries, family dynamics, holiday gatherings, negative patterns, intergenerational patterns, neurobiology, cognitive distortions, psychological boundaries, getting unstuck, marriage, children, personal transformation, individuation, and family issues.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

Today on Resonance, I'm coming to you from Uluwatu with a message about the power of editing — not in the sense of doing more, but in the courageous act of removing what no longer serves. Culturally, we're taught that happiness comes from accumulation: more doing, more having, more striving. But in relationships, and in our own inner world, the truth is often the opposite. Fulfillment lives in subtraction.I share a recent real-world experience with someone who showed all the signs of connection on the surface, but ultimately revealed a deeper pattern of gaslighting, blame, and energetic misalignment. It forced me to confront something I've carried since childhood: the impulse to abandon myself for harmony, to take responsibility for emotions that aren't mine, and to stay connected to people who haven't earned the privilege of my presence.In this episode, I dive into why we repeat lessons until we claim the boundary we've been avoiding, how unresolved inner voices manifest in the people we attract, and why editing your relational field is essential for stepping into the next chapter of your life. Most importantly, I share how facing discomfort without numbing it is part of becoming the integrated man I choose to be — one aligned with resonance, partnership, family, and true integrity.If it's not a full yes, it's a no. Boundaries are love. Editing is liberation. And every person we release creates the space for the people who are truly meant to walk with us.

Have you ever chased success, only to realize it didn't give you the freedom or fulfillment you hoped for? In this transformative episode, host Nicole Jansen sits down with Mark Rampolla - founder of ZICO Coconut Water, co-founder of Groundforce Capital, and author of The Entrepreneur's Guide to Freedom: 7 Steps to Living Beyond Limits. Mark shares a refreshingly honest look at building ZICO from his garage into a global brand which he sold to Coca-Cola for $200 million (before buying it back a few years later) - and the unexpected discovery that financial success alone doesn't guarantee meaning or joy. Together, Nicole and Mark dive into why entrepreneurs become trapped in the pursuit of more, how the success industry subtly shapes our definitions of achievement, and the practical steps to experiencing internal freedom and fulfillment—right now. If you've ever wondered why your wins still feel incomplete, this conversation offers a roadmap for shifting your mindset, avoiding burnout, and leading from a place of clarity and purpose. You'll also hear what investors truly look for in founders and why personal transformation is the hidden engine behind sustainable business growth, even in seasons of loss. What We Discuss in This Episode What does real success look like, and how does your definition evolve as you grow? Why do entrepreneurs remain stuck in the cycle of chasing more, and how does the success industry reinforce it? How can you prevent burnout and create genuine satisfaction while building your business? What are Mark's seven steps to entrepreneurial freedom and fulfillment? How does self-awareness open the door for personal and team transformation? Which inner habits and tools help you navigate challenges and create lasting freedom? What do top investors like Mark value in founders beyond revenue and metrics? How did losing his home in the Palisades wildfire reshape his perspective on what truly matters? Why is self-reflection essential for both business success and personal joy? How can you begin practicing fulfillment, peace, and purpose in your business today? Timestamps & Highlights 00:00 - Why Success Doesn't Equal Fulfillment 04:50 - Be Honest with Yourself 08:12 - How the Success Industry Creates Burnout 09:58 - Success Through Fulfillment and Presence 15:39 - Personal Growth Strategies for Entrepreneurs 17:44 - Shared Freedom and Self-Reflection 20:28 - Escaping the More Mindset 23:32 - Creating Challenges After Retirement 26:18 - Choosing Passion and Purpose 30:59 - Investor Insights: What Founders Must Know 32:54 - How to Lead with Purpose & Clarity 36:25 - Life Lessons from Losing Everything in a Fire 39:50 – Finding Freedom Within 10 Key Takeaways for Finding Freedom & Fulfillment Beyond Money 1. External success doesn't equal inner fulfillment. Financial wins feel good—but they rarely create the deep satisfaction we're truly seeking. 2. The success industry profits from your sense of not enough. Entrepreneurs are constantly sold the belief that the next achievement will finally make them happy. 3. Personal growth is the real engine of business growth. Your company can only expand to the level of your own self-awareness and development. 4. Fulfillment is available in the present moment. Freedom isn't something you achieve later - it's something you cultivate now. 5. Self-awareness creates genuine confidence. Seeing your strengths clearly - and owning your blind spots - accelerates your leadership. 6. Your limiting beliefs are not reality. Challenging your assumptions opens the door to new possibilities and breakthroughs. 7. Burnout undermines your whole ecosystem. Your team and your company feel the impact when you're depleted - renewal is non-negotiable. 8. Coachability and humility matter more than ego. Investors and partners look for leaders who are curious, adaptable, and willing to grow. 9. Loss can become a doorway to freedom. Releasing attachments to things reveals deeper sources of peace and inner security. 10. Lasting success is built on inner transformation. When you evolve on the inside, your relationships, leadership, and business naturally elevate. Favorite Quotes Your business can't grow if you don't. If I can build safety and security within me, without the house—that is liberating and powerful. What annoys us in another is a reflection of what's going on in us. Join Nicole Jansen for this powerful, eye-opening conversation with Mark Rampolla. Discover how to cultivate genuine freedom, fulfillment, and purpose - starting today - from the inside out.

Welcome to an eye-opening episode of the "Stuck In My Mind Podcast," hosted by Wize El Jefe, featuring a profound conversation with the multi-faceted Angel Howard—professional dancer, corporate executive, somatic movement therapist, and founder of Wild Heart Expressive and the Chakra Mental Method. This episode, rich with authentic reflection and practical wisdom, is a heartfelt exploration into the power of embodiment, the challenges of high achievement, and the essential role of communication in well-being and leadership. The Body Never Lies: A Journey from Burnout to Alignment The episode begins with Wize El Jefe reflecting on his own journey to meaning through podcasting, setting the stage for Angel Howard's transformative story. Angel Howard candidly shares her corporate beginnings in the high-pressure world of 1980s business culture. She describes the physical and emotional toll of burnout—“the day I couldn't get off the couch”—and how this was a wake-up call to attend not just to outward success, but to inner fulfillment. Through firsthand anecdotes, she illustrates how the relentless pursuit of “more” is often empty, driving individuals away from their true needs and into exhaustion. What makes Angel Howard's narrative compelling is her recognition that the body holds and expresses our deepest stories, even when words fail us. She unpacks the dynamics of corporate posturing, the “peacocking” of success, and how the disconnect between words and bodily signals breeds mistrust. The somatic awareness she brings is not only insightful but actionable, offering listeners a lens to examine their own lived experiences of stress, ambition, and authenticity. Cross-Cultural Discoveries & Reclaiming Joy A pivotal moment in Angel Howard's journey was her time studying and living in Europe, where she discovered cultures that prize communal meals, relaxation, and appreciation for life beyond work. The contrast between European and American work cultures highlights the importance of self-care and the integration of play and rest into daily life. Wize El Jefe resonates with this, contemplating how fear and lack of courage can hold people back from living more joyfully and authentically. The episode finds its emotional center when Angel Howard asks Wize El Jefe what feeds his soul—a question that opens up a vulnerable, honest discussion about finding purpose through podcasting, self-growth, and spiritual practice. Both speakers share how intentional reflection, affirmations, and connecting to a higher purpose have brought them greater alignment and joy. The Healing Power of Movement Angel Howard delves deeper into how movement became her lifeline during personal crisis, notably in the aftermath of a traumatic marriage experience. She recounts lying in fetal position, paralyzed by grief, and discovering that simply moving her body—even a finger—helped her process pain and reclaim her sense of self. This raw story exemplifies the essence of somatic healing: expressing and releasing emotions through embodied practices. She explains the foundations of her work with Wild Heart Expressive and the Chakra Mental Method, integrating yogic principles, elements like fire and water, and the understanding of how emotional states manifest physically. Her approach helps individuals locate sensations in the body, connect them with emotions and stories, and begin the process of conscious, embodied leadership. Success, High Achievement, and Why “More” is Never Enough The conversation turns to why high achievers—especially those shaped by achievement-oriented families and demanding career environments—often feel unfulfilled despite their visible success. Angel Howard shares her personal struggle with always feeling she must do better, never being “enough,” and how this internalized pressure can become like an addiction to achievement itself. Crucially, she encourages listeners to celebrate every milestone and practice gratitude, rather than relentlessly chasing external validation. The pair discuss the pernicious effects of social comparison, particularly in the era of social media, and how true fulfillment requires shifting focus from external accomplishments to internal motivations. Angel Howard suggests practical self-inquiry questions for listeners who sense something missing beneath their success: Why do you feel unfulfilled? Are your motivations driven by genuine internal desires or by societal expectations and comparison? Communication: The Foundation of All Relationships One of the most powerful themes of the episode is communication—both internal (with oneself) and external (with others). Angel Howard reveals that 93% of communication is nonverbal, consisting of body language, eye contact, and gestures. This insight becomes crucial in the realm of leadership, where congruence between words and embodied presence breeds trust and inspires teams. As she prepares for her next chapter—writing her forthcoming book “What's Messing With Your Messages?”, embarking on a speaking tour, and launching a new PBS show on women's aging—her mission is clear: to help people communicate authentically, reconnect with their bodies, and lead with integrity and empathy. Practical Tools for Listeners Throughout the episode, both speakers share practical strategies for becoming more embodied and aligned: Stop and notice sensations in the body Practice intentional breath and create pauses before reacting Celebrate wins, both big and small Spend time in reflection, whether spiritual or secular Use movement—dance, walking, yoga—as a means to process emotion Practice presence in communication, matching intent with bodily cues Angel Howard also offers her book, “Issues In Your Tissues,” packed with resources, QR codes for guided movement sessions, and a Spotify playlist to support emotional and somatic exploration. A Conversation That Resonates What stands out in this episode is the warmth, sincerity, and mutual respect between Wize El Jefe and Angel Howard. Their stories, rooted in lived experience, invite listeners to reflect: What is the story my body carries? What truly feeds my soul? Am I living and leading in alignment with my deepest values? Whether you're a high achiever feeling disconnected from your purpose, a leader seeking to motivate and inspire authentically, or someone curious about embodied healing, this episode offers wisdom, hope, and practical steps to start your journey today—no need to wait for the “perfect moment.” Tune in for a transformative dialogue that will inspire you to get out of your head, live more deeply in your body, and communicate from a place of true alignment.

In Episode 104 of Faith, Family, & Fulfillment, Chris and Suzanne Vester dig into the kind of growth that no one else sees—but that shapes everything. Internal development is about becoming before doing. It's about letting God refine what's within so that what flows out reflects Him.Minute Markers:00:00 Intro: Opening the conversation around unseen growth and quiet strength.10:10 Refinement: How trials, correction, and time can purify your character and prepare you for more.20:01 A Solid Anchor: What it means to be grounded in truth, even when life is uncertain or stretching you.This episode is a reminder that the most important development happens in private, where ego is stripped away and purpose is formed.

Among older adults, retirees are more likely to experience depression than those who are working due to feelings of loneliness and loss of identity. But, it shouldn't be this way.

What begins as curiosity about an unusual instrument evolves into a moving exploration of how discipline, community, and devotion to craft can restore meaning and purpose in people's lives.

May our hearts burn within us, as on the road to Emmaus, as we behold the wonder of Jesus in all of God's Word.Nathan Johnson has a passion to help equip Christians to understand the Word of God and experience a deep love for Jesus that transforms their lives and the world around them.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 416 HOSTS: Matthew Brown and Andrew Vallo GUESTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this conversation, the hosts and guests discuss the realities of success in dentistry, the impact of social media on expectations, and the importance of clarity and fulfillment in one's career. They explore the challenges of entrepreneurship, the dangers of comparison, and the significance of finding inspiration rather than envy. The discussion also touches on burnout, the lost decade many dentists experience, and the need for a supportive community. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own path and the true meaning of success. TAKEAWAYS Success is about getting what you want and wanting what you get. Many practices are not as successful as they appear on social media. It's important to find inspiration rather than compare yourself to others. The turning point in a dental career often comes from realizing the need for a sustainable business model. Entrepreneurship in dentistry requires a clear vision and commitment. Burnout often stems from a lack of clarity and progress in one's career. The dental community can be isolating, making support systems crucial. Many dentists experience a 'lost decade' by following the wrong narratives. It's essential to focus on what truly makes you happy in your career. Success is not just about financial metrics but also about personal fulfillment.

What if gratitude is actually keeping you small? In this Thanksgiving episode of The Business of Happiness, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy explains how toxic gratitude and high-achiever conditioning keep women in dentistry and healthcare from asking for rest, support, or something better. She reveals the subtle ways “just be thankful” turns into burnout, self-silencing, and settling for less than you want. With clear examples and gentle guidance, Dr. Tarryn shows what real gratitude looks like: receiving help, honoring your needs, and letting yourself want more without guilt. If you're tired, overwhelmed, or craving a life that feels like yours again, this conversation will help you reconnect with what you truly need.Show notes:(2:38) When gratitude becomes a barrier(4:02) Remembering your worth as a caregiver(6:16) Dreams women shrink from guilt(9:19) You deserve to ask for what you need(12:18) The difference between gratitude and avoidance(13:05) Letting compliments and support land(15:27) Why receiving help matters(17:02) Feeling gratitude instead of reciting it(18:35) Outro________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Radical Happiness for Practitioners - https://thebizofhappiness.com/radicalhappiness/Connect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.

Just because you're making money doesn't mean you're thriving as a freelancer. And if you're NOT making money? You're definitely not thriving. Here's what a thriving freelance business actually looks like: stable income, financial runway so you can take a hit without panicking, no constant fires to put out, and you actually enjoy what you do. Sound like your business right now? Yeah. Didn't think so. The second you started taking money for your skills, 12 critical roles appeared out of thin air in your business: Fulfillment, sales, marketing, operations, accounting, project management, IT/tech, legal, client relationships, creative direction, management... and CEO. In a big corporation, each of those has a department head, managers, and entire teams. As a freelancer? That's all you, baby. And if your business isn't where you want it to be, you're failing at exercising one (or more) of these muscles. So how do you fix this? That's what this episode is all about. You'll discover: The "treat it like the gym" framework for consistently working on the hard stuff you've been avoiding for months (or years) How to identify which muscle is your biggest bottleneck right now and start strengthening it one hour at a time Why emotions make you a great creative but a terrible business owner (and what to do about it)… Can you make this work? Wrong question. The right question is: How can I make this work? "Can I" is for dabblers. "How can I" is for people who actually succeed. So pick your mountain. Set your gym time. And start climbing one hour at a time. For full show notes, visit https://6figurecreative.com/390

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface dismantle one of the most powerful lies in modern culture — that you are the main character of your own story.Drawing from Scripture, history, and real-world examples, they explore how society's obsession with self — from slogans like “Have it your way” and “Because you're worth it” — has shaped a generation that's prideful, impatient, and spiritually empty.Garrett and Nick explain that true fulfillment doesn't come from self-expression but from submission. The difference between salvation and wisdom is learning to play your part in the story God is already writing.Through biblical truth and practical wisdom, they show how humility, endurance, and responsibility unlock the kind of heroic, meaningful life every man was created for.

Andrew and Rhen close out their capital campaign series by tackling a question many nonprofits don't think about until it's too late: What happens after you hit your goal?   Please take note - the work isn't over!  Yes, take time to celebrate (pop that champagne!), but the real opportunity lies in what you do next. This is your chance to transform one-time campaign donors into loyal, long-term supporters of your annual fund.Andrew and Rhen break down the essential tasks for transitioning out of campaign mode, including how to ensure those pledges actually turn into payments.
