In this episode, host Andy Storch sits down with Jamie Albers, co-founder of Mento—a company at the forefront of transforming professional development with performance-based coaching solutions. Jamie shares her journey from Middle Eastern Studies to leading innovative teams at Google and eventually launching Mento, which is redefining coaching by skillfully blending mentorship from real-world operators with data-driven methodologies.Jaime's journey may look intentional in hindsight, but it unfolded through a series of unexpected choices. Originally pursuing Middle Eastern studies in college, Jaime set out in a different direction than most would expect. After graduation, they took a role as an advertising associate at Google during the 2010s—a time when such jobs were often a mix of customer service and ad review, but proved to be a valuable training ground. Grateful for the opportunities at Google, Jaime also seized the chance to participate in a classic “20% project,” further shaping their path. Looking back, every step seems to have fit together as if by destiny, even if it wasn't the plan from the start.Order Own Your Brand, Own Your Career on AmazonApply to Join us in the Talent Development Think Tank Community!This episode is sponsored by Mento which offers a unique 80/20 mix of coaching and mentorship so that your people can increase performance and success.

In this episode of Journey to Grateful, I share a deeply personal truth I've discovered in grief: that honoring our loved ones doesn't mean staying stuck in mourning them. It means finding the courage to live fully, carrying their memory with us in every step forward. I talk about the tension between grief and guilt, and how we can shift the question from “Am I allowed to move forward?” to “How can I carry them forward with me?” If you've ever wondered whether finding joy again betrays the one you've lost, this episode is for you.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 4th of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Exodus 16:3: “And the children of Israel said to them, "Oh, that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger." Then we go to the Book of Job 38:4. “The Lord said to Job: "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?”Stop being ungrateful! We have very short memories, don't we, my dear friend? We forget where Jesus has brought us from. We are so quick to complain. The Israelites were slaves in Egypt but they forgot that very quickly when they were in the desert and they were hungry and thirsty. Of course the Lord supplied everything they needed, but they had short memories, forgetting where they had come from.You and I need to stop complaining and we need to start becoming more grateful for what we have. I think of William and Catherine Booth, the founders of the Salvation Army. They took care of the hungry and the poor and the homeless. William Booth's son was Bramwell Booth, that was his name. When he was about 16 years old, one night at maybe 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, William Booth took them to the poorest part of East London. He took his son into a pub, a drinking house. There were little children standing outside waiting for their parents, in rags. You can imagine the snow on the ground in the middle of winter. He took his son into the middle of this drinking house. There were people lying all over the place, drunk. The floor was full of rubbish where people had vomited. I am telling you the truth. It was like a pig sty! It was absolutely disgusting, and he said to his son, “Have a look around. What do you see? His son was so shocked at what he saw, the squalor, the poverty, the hunger, and then he said, “Bramwell, these are our people. We must help them.” And then they went out home. Bramwell Booth never forgot that sight as long as he lived. He was so grateful for what God had given to him and his family.You too, remember from where we have come, lest we start to complain about our situation at the moment. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Temper your passion with wisdom, your frenzy with good sense,  Aim for Balance and Growth in your pursuits so you don't panic,  Or turn what once seemed fun into something far too intense,  But can develop naturally in a way that's healthy, sustainable and organic.   [full text below]   Ep. 422 - Love Happy We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! I used to be in love with Love,  A state I was rather fond of, But Love can be a tricky thing, So, play it cool, and never cling. I was conditioned, you see,  Into thinking that persistence and grand gestures were key, That passionate, imaginative pitching of woo  Was all a suitor had to do! Alas, alack and mercy be,  I finally learned that ain't for me. The tragedy is not that you'll lose a Love you could've had, But, much worse--that you'll win the heart of someone bad, Because the promise of Love can cloud every thought, So that you realize too late what such folly has brought.  I used to chase after dates and show my affection with poems and gifts,  Without ever getting to know them first, through connection or trust,  I also used to love finding a new hobby, who doesn't love one that temporarily uplifts? But if it had no real staying power or substance it would wind up a bust. New things can be exciting, all mysterious and attractive and stuff, But if there's no compatibility, then it's doomed to breed discontent, Because no matter how much you try to force it, it'll never be enough, That's why when it comes to Love, you'd do well to start with mature intent. Is how you're behaving something you plan to sustain? Or is it just a big show that will be over far too soon? Then what will you do when pleasure turns to pain? Can you get over yourself after being over the moon? Love Happy means to temper your passion with wisdom, your frenzy with good sense,  To aim for Balance and Growth in your all interests and pursuits so you don't panic, Or get so carried away that what at first seemed fun becomes too intense, But can develop naturally in a way that is healthy, sustainable and organic. Haha Yowza

Grief comes in many forms — the loss of a spouse, a child, a parent, a sibling, or a close friend. Each loss is devastating in its own way, yet too often we fall into the trap of comparing one grief to another. In this episode of Journey to Grateful, I explore why grief should never be measured against someone else's pain and how compassion allows us to connect across different kinds of loss.Through the lens of “same storm, different boats,” I share why it's important to honor every grief story without judgment and how choosing to witness another's pain instead of comparing it can create deeper healing for us all.If you've ever felt like someone dismissed your grief, or if you've caught yourself comparing your loss to another's, this episode is a reminder: different losses, different pain, but the same need — to discover how to keep going.

In this week's episode of Autism for Badass Moms, we sit down with Brandie Frost, a 28-year-old dedicated mom and bonus mom to three boys from Southeastern Kentucky. Her youngest son, Ruger, age 4, faced many health challenges during his first two years of life that have now mostly been resolved. At age 2, Ruger was diagnosed with Cavum Septum Pellucidum, and by age 4, he received diagnoses of Level 2 Autism and ADHD.By the time Ruger was 3, Brandie had already suspected autism due to her experience with other loved ones who have cognitive disabilities. When the official diagnosis came, she didn't allow it to overwhelm her. Instead, she embraced it, using her knowledge and determination to get a head start on accessing the limited resources available in her area for families of children with autism.Outside of her role as a mom, Brandie is currently a college student on track to graduate with her Associate's Degree in August 2025. She plans to continue her education by pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. Beyond her passion for raising her boys, Brandie is deeply committed to mental health advocacy and victim support.Tune in to hear Brandie's inspiring story of resilience, acceptance, and determination as she navigates motherhood, education, and advocacy with strength and grace.What we discuss:00:00 Introduction and Background02:38 Ruger's Health Journey05:22 Navigating Autism Diagnosis08:00 Embracing the Autism Diagnosis10:50 Accessing Services and Support13:30 Community Challenges and Advocacy16:25 Building a Support Network19:01 The Role of the Internet in Support21:55 Finding Strength in Struggles24:39 Advice for New Autism Parents27:14 Resilience and Empowerment30:02 Future Aspirations and Goals32:51 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsIf you found Brandie's episode informative and inspiring, please don't forget to subscribe and share this episode with another fellow badass mom or someone who you feel would benefit!Connect with Brandie:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandieenicoleeTik Tok: Brandie FrostFOLLOW US:Instagram: www.instagram.com/theabmpodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/theabmpodcastYouTube: www.youtube.com/theabmpodcast

As September winds down, are you tying up loose ends — or already chasing the next shiny thing coming in October?Today, on Episode #171 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're going to reflect on the past month through an Ayurvedic lens and set gentle intentions for October.We'll start by asking: What are you celebrating about September?Did you start a new ritual in September or remember a ritual that you used to do?How did you feel through the month? … Steady? Scattered? Grateful? Energized?What are you going to let go of for September so that you can travel lighter into October?What's one thing you want to carry forward into October?Next, we'll shift into October by exploring what we're looking forward to:Seasonal Rituals — Like savoring those first truly crisp mornings with a warm drink.Movement & Energy — Try a new walk, a street that has lots of maples or a bush path or trail that is loaded with leaves.Home & Hearth — Adding one simple touch of fall décor or decluttering a corner can help you feel lighter. Connections — Plan a gathering with friends before the holiday rush begins.Self-Care — Nourish skin and body with extra warmth and moisture through oil massage/baths.Celebrations — Mark what you're grateful for as the month begins, no matter how small.Sleep Focus — Set one small intention to support deeper rest, like earlier bedtime, darker room, or a calming routine.Let's move into October not just thinking about change, but practicing it—with intention, presence, and a little more wonder.

The group starts their day preparing for the voyage to Midmount, with mixed feelings about crossing the ocean. Chan is visibly anxious, running between her room and downstairs, mainly worried about being a fire hazard on a wooden boat. Valen offers his magical flask to ease her nerves. Bob sings a sea shanty from his mentor, Rosco, while Dona expresses her apprehension about traveling by water. Thankfully, Thorak ensures everyone is well-fed with his signature large meals. Upon arrival at the docks, the group is guided by an automaton to their ship, The Voyager, where they meet its warforged captain, Vessel, and a crew of small automatons. As they set sail, Bob privately asks Valen for help meditating to contact his patron. Valen agrees and encourages Bob to speak with Thorak, a cleric, for spiritual guidance.While settling in, Bob attempts his first connection with his patron and feels something stir. Excited, he shares the moment with Valen, who continues practicing with his sword and experimenting with his magical flask. One swig causes him to burp fire, but the next renders him ethereal, unseen but present, leading to concern from the rest of the group. Valen enjoys the new experience, but the others, especially Thorak, decide the flask should be taken from him temporarily. After a heartfelt conversation, Dona returns it with a promise from Valen to use it more mindfully going forward. Meanwhile, Bob dives deeper into his connection with his patron and finds himself submerged in a vision. He senses another presence and questions whether he's being punished for failing to recognize his patron sooner.The next morning, Valen recounts his brief shift into the ethereal plane, noting that while reckless, it was helpful in future encounters. While Bob studies the maps, Chan explores the ship and familiarizes herself with Vessel. Valen and Thorak train together, with Thorak now blindfolded and relying on his familiar Paco to “see,” testing strategies that may come in handy. Bob and Chan reflect on his vision; though she's uncertain how to help, she offers to consult her sister, who's more knowledgeable about such matters. Grateful, Bob thanks her. As the day ends, Vessel informs the party that they are one day away from Midmount. The group prepares for landfall and begins planning their next steps to uncover the mysteries behind the strange occurrences...There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of Medusa's Cascade: Blood & BoozeTheme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceMixed by Thomas Lapierre IIICheck out the show at themedusascascade.com

When life lurches from order to disorder, what if the way through isn't either/or—but and? In this moving conversation, author and advocate Jillian Benfield sits down with Ginny to unpack the transformative idea behind her new book, Overwhelmed & Grateful—that we can honor pain and practice gratitude without denying either reality. Jillian shares how the “ampersand life” steadied her through high-risk pregnancies, years of medical unknowns, and the lonely redefinitions of identity and friendship, and how simple practices like lament, attention, and awe can calm a stormed nervous system and reopen wonder. From “in-house years” to cross-country moves with 18 specialists on speed-dial, Jillian offers hard-won wisdom for parents navigating seasons they didn't choose: how to spot beauty without bright-siding, how tears literally move stress through the body, and how awe—on a beach walk, a mountain trail, or even a Broadway balcony—can hush the harshest self-talk. If you need language for your own order → disorder → reorder cycle, this episode will meet you with honesty and hope and a path to practice both.

If we base our sense of self on what others demand of us, and try to conform to that, Then we won't know who we are, how we feel, what we think--and that's never any good, But if you make mindful choices of who you see yourself as, then you won't be a doormat, You'll become the person you always wished you could be, but never thought you could.   [full text below] Ep. 421 - Happy Identity  We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Happy Identity means being true to yourself, knowing who you are and who you want to be. And then becoming that Happy version of you. I used to sign my name in cursive letters, I hated it, but what could I do? Well, anything. So, I stopped. And it instantly felt more like me, And nobody cared, and here I thought I'd face the same backlash that meets all trendsetters. So, then I started to look at all the other things I did just because I thought I had to-- I stopped eating foods I never really cared for, and cut out friends I could never please, I even changed the way I coughed--you didn't know you had control over that, but you do, I used to cough in sharp, violent bursts, and then I switched it to a painless wheeze. It might sound weird, but I also stopped caring so much about what other people thought, They didn't have to live my life, that was mine and mine alone, and I just had to do my best, I could read what I liked, and watch what I liked, and think what I liked, believe it or not, I could sleep on my side, I could sneeze loud or soft, I could pick up and move West. And so I did. I moved thousands of miles away from anyone I knew to find my tribe, Artists and filmmakers and free thinkers and rebels and people looking for connection, And I found them--buried amongst monsters too strange to convincingly describe, But we all have the potential to become monstrous if we don't fight the identity infection. If we base our sense of self on what others demand of us, and try to conform to that, Then we won't know who we are, how we feel, what we think--and that's never any good, But if you make mindful choices of who you see yourself as, then you won't be a doormat, You'll become the person you always wished you could be, but never thought you could. Haha Yowza

In this inspiring episode of Clear Voices of Hope, I sat down with fellow advocate and nonprofit founder Jamie Vaughn to talk about her powerful journey through breast cancer. Jamie opens up about life before and after her diagnosis, how she found strength in the darkest moments, and why advocating for your own health is so important. We dove into building supportive communities, embracing life's turning points, and the importance of sharing resources and real stories. If you're facing a challenge or want to empower others, this conversation is a must-listen for hope, resilience, and honest advice.   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Welcoming Advocate Jamie Vaughan 04:50 Pre-Retirement Mammogram Reminder Story 09:01 Coping with Life-Altering Changes 12:31 Navigating Cancer Diagnosis Support 16:20 Cancer Concerns and Optavia Diet 17:09 "Debate Over Cancer Treatments" 23:29 "Facing Chemo with Strength" 25:42 "Choosing the Right Surgery" 29:40 "Finding Purpose in Retirement" 31:42 "Story Amplifier and Advocate" 35:22 Therapist's Lifelong Support 39:52 Oncologist Visit: A Candid Encounter 43:27 "Sharing Genetic Testing Insights" 46:58 "Questions for Breast Surgery Consultations" 47:53 Advocating Access to Women's Healthcare 51:28 Grateful for Advocacy Insights   LEARN MORE: The Clear Pathways Program: https://www.breastdensitysummit.org/ Make a Donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=NJMF86A8Y9RJQ   FOLLOW LISA: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisamalianorman/ https://www.instagram.com/lisamalia.evoke/   Jamie Vaughn is a retired teacher turned passionate patient advocate, breast cancer survivor, and the driving force behind the nonprofit and podcast Test Those Breasts!™.

Gratitude is a lot like a seed. You can hold it in your hand, admire its potential, and even carry it around with you - but until you plant it and tend to it, it doesn't really grow. And if there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's this: if we want to grow grateful hearts in our children, we have to do more than tell them to say “thank you.” We have to show them what it means to live a thankful life. Listen in and find ways to help you cultivate gratitude in your child – and how it begins with you. Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!
