This episode is powered by SANCTUARY, the sacred recalibration for high-achieving CEOs who are ready to feel safe with leadership, safe with success, safe with their identity, and—most importantly—safe with money and wealth. Sanctuary is where the next season of you begins. “Your business will always expose what you haven't healed. This season wasn't about performance. It was about presence. About becoming. About finally choosing to embody what I teach—that success that costs you your soul isn't success at all. Season Six was the moment I stopped running… and started resting inside of myself. In this intimate season recap, I'm not giving you a traditional highlight reel. I'm sharing the truth behind the scenes—the surrender, the softness, the sacred recalibration that changed everything. I talk about the burnout I had to acknowledge, the blind spots that surfaced, and the resistance that revealed the deeper work God is still doing in me. This is the real story behind the slower launches, the quieter growth, and the massive internal expansion that became the birthplace of SANCTUARY. This is for every CEO who's in transition, who's hearing God whisper “slow down,” and who needs a reminder that recalibration is still movement. If you've ever asked, "Why is this taking so long?" or "Why don't I feel safe in my own success?" this episode is your mirror and your medicine. I'm not here to give you a highlight reel. I'm here to give you the real of what it looks like when God develops your character to match your calling. If you've ever felt like you were behind… if you've ever watched God slow down your plans to speed up your purpose… if you're in the middle of a recalibration that doesn't make sense yet—this episode will remind you that you are not alone, and you are not off course. If you've been navigating recalibration, stillness, nervous system tension, spiritual stretching, money leaks, burnout, identity dissonance, or the call to step out of being a “moment” and finally embody your movement—this conversation will meet you exactly where your spirit has been whispering. This is the Season Six recap, but it is also your prophetic roadmap into 2026—overflow, alignment, safety, identity, sanctuary, seven-figure embodiment, regulated leadership, divine timing and the spiritual architecture of scaling. Here's the truth: You can't hold legacy until you can hold yourself. And you can't lead others to overflow if your nervous system is still surviving. God isn't rushing you. He's anchoring you. And what He builds through you will last longer, reach farther, and bless more because of the season that slowed you down You'll walk with permission to redefine success as safety and sustainability, new language for your recalibration season—without shame and spiritual, somatic, and strategic insights for becoming your own sanctuary. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to honor your body's need for rest without self-sabotaging growth ✔ How to shift from external productivity to internal alignment ✔ How to let go of timelines and trust the divine pace of your evolution ✔And so much more This episode is a call to stop glorifying the grind and start honoring the grace. To build your business at the speed of your body. To stop chasing alignment and finally become the alignment. It's an invitation into a new rhythm—where regulation and revelation replace the rush. Where your wealth is a reflection of your wholeness. And where you become the sanctuary that holds your next level. This is your invitation to witness my process, and reflect on your own. You're not behind—you're being refined. This episode will shift how you see your delays, redefine how you measure growth, and remind you that becoming a sanctuary is the secret to building a business that can hold more without costing you everything.

Equipping them to feel safe with money is a movement.” “Your nervous system determines whether success feels safe or stressful.” “If you want what's next, you must create the space to hold it.” “It was like my soul was calling me inward… to make peace with everything I had been bypassing.”  “You can't lead a movement from a nervous system that's on edge.”  “Season Six gave me permission to rest in what God already said.”  “I wasn't being punished. I was being prepared.” “Sometimes the most strategic thing you can do is stop and let God finish what He started.”  Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Where did I confuse movement with motion this year? What assumptions have I made about God's instruction that need to be recalibrated? Where do I still glorify being booked and busy instead of spacious and steady? What did this year develop in me that I haven't acknowledged yet? Where in my business am I still performing instead of embodying? How do I respond when God slows things down? Am I trying to build legacy from a dysregulated state? What does becoming a sanctuary look like for me right now?   Want more of Darnyelle?

In Episode #148 of The Lumber Word, Matt, Gregg, Charles and Ashley sit down with Kyle Little, COO of Sherwood Lumber and current NAWLA Chairman, to talk about staying grateful in one of the toughest markets we've seen in years. Kyle gives an inside look at what NAWLA is working on to improve meetings and member engagement, while the crew runs through a quick market round robin — how short is multi-family, where inventory is hiding, 2x4 #2 R/L Chicago trading around $485–$495, and whether the three-year streak of $30 CME rolls can keep going. Who are the Long CME traders? They hit SYP futures, new potential deliverables in the legacy lumber contract, whether big buyers are stepping in, and if demand is starting to feel a little 2008-ish. The episode wraps with thoughts on growing customers in a slow market and what the industry can learn from this moment.

What if your net worth stopped running your life and started serving it? That's the question we press into with wealth advisor and healer Christopher Mackin, who went from thriving in high finance to realizing that money without meaning drains your health, your joy, and your relationships. He shares how burnout forced a reset, how inner work sharpened his compass, and why he sees money as energy that can amplify either fear or generosity.We get honest about the hustle. Christopher explains how he shifted from endless doing to a rhythm where being fuels action, and why serving fewer clients more deeply created outsized results. He unpacks the beliefs many of us inherit—love expressed as gifts, safety tied to earning, worth measured by status—and shows how those scripts shape every decision. You'll hear why he treats social media like a public service, offering simple, practical guidance instead of noise, and how a message during a silent retreat led him to write a book designed to scale impact beyond the boardroom.Expect practical moves as well as mindset shifts: start giving now in ways that fit your reality, redesign your calendar to protect presence, and treat money as a multiplier for what you value most. We also explore spiritual tools—from Reiki to human design—not as dogma but as experiments that help you access clarity and confidence. If you've ever hit your goals and still felt empty, this conversation offers a grounded path toward conscious wealth: a life built on purpose, peace, and prosperity working together.If this resonates, follow Christopher at ChristopherMackin.co and I Am Christopher Mackin on Instagram.

Despite disappointing economic data, treasury yield dynamics, particularly the widening 2-10 spread, are supporting financial and industrial stocks, making a year-end market grind higher plausible. Justin Bergner notes that a hawkish Federal Reserve rate cut is likely, conditioning the market for less frequent cuts. He highlights regional banks and short-cycle industrial stocks as potential opportunities, given their underperformance and improving macro indicators.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

What if the key to healing our divided, traumatized, and often violent nation isn't political... but psychological?In this timely and deeply powerful episode, psychotherapist and author Phyllis E. Leavitt joins Shut Up and GRIND to talk about her groundbreaking new book, America in Therapy—a call to bring the principles of inner healing to our collective national consciousness.Drawing from over 30 years as a therapist and her own profound spiritual journey, Phyllis connects the dots between childhood trauma, societal dysfunction, and the cycles of violence that keep us stuck. With clarity and compassion, she outlines how individual healing practices—like inner child work, deep self-reflection, and emotional accountability—can be scaled into a roadmap for national transformation.This isn't just theory. It's a call to action.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the chaos around you, heartbroken over what we're leaving to future generations, or simply unsure how you can make a difference—this conversation offers hope, direction, and a new kind of leadership from within.“There is no healing out there that doesn't start in here.”

In this solo episode of The Jason Cavness Experience, Jason goes live to break down everything he's building across CavnessHR, the Wefunder campaign, HR law education, livestreaming strategy, and the behind-the-scenes founder grind people rarely talk about. Jason talks through his work on the HR Laws Livestream Deck, what small businesses keep getting wrong about HR compliance and why he's pushing hard to create accessible education for founders who can't afford expensive consultants. He also gives an update on the CavnessHR Wefunder campaign, the  ebooks rollout, the Builders Club, and how he's approaching daily content, livestreaming, and building in public to grow the platform.  This livestream dives into HR automation, startup strategy, social media execution, bourbon rotation, livestream tech setups, Opus Pro clips, and the reality of pushing toward a world-class HR product for small businesses. If you want a real, unfiltered look at the life of a founder building multiple things at once this is it.  Topics Discussed • The HR Laws livestream deck and why HR compliance needs to be simplified • How CavnessHR is rebuilding HR for small businesses • The Wefunder campaign update and what investors should know • The 7-ebook strategy and how it supports the Wefunder raise • The CavnessHR Builders Club and early supporter benefits • Daily livestreaming routines and camera setup improvements • Why creators should rotate bourbons on livestreams • How Jason uses Opus Pro for mass short-form video creation • Platform posting strategy: LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Instagram, YouTube • When to upload livestreams as podcast episodes • Why short (

What if the difference between staying stuck and leveling up was simply turning your goals into a game you actually want to play? Show Notes — "Level Up Your Life" In today's episode, Baylor dives into a surprising lesson from his first week of Ironman training and his introduction to the Zwift cycling platform. What was supposed to be an hour-and-four-minute indoor ride suddenly turned into an all-out international competition — flags from around the world on the screen, points on the line, and a virtual character to level up like a real-life video game. That moment triggered a powerful realization: If you find a way to gamify the hard things in your life, they stop feeling like chores and start feeling like challenges. Baylor breaks down why gamification works, how competition wakes up the best in us, and how to build "level-up metrics" for your career, relationships, fitness, finances — anything that matters. You'll learn why relying on discipline alone isn't sustainable, why some of your goals feel boring or heavy, and the simple psychological shift that can reignite motivation instantly. This episode is your permission slip to stop grinding blindly… and start competing intentionally. What You'll Learn Why gamification instantly boosts motivation How competing — even virtually — triggers progress The importance of tracking your own "levels" in life How to create metrics that show you whether you're actually growing Why people feel stuck even when they are improving How rewards create momentum (and how to pick the right rewards) The truth about competitiveness (and why you need some of it) A practical framework to make boring tasks enjoyable How to build a year that pushes you forward instead of keeping you flat Featured Quote "When you gamify your progress, life stops feeling like work and starts feeling like a level you're meant to beat."

Send us a textThe Peace & Prosperity Podcast is a bi-weekly conversation with Jason Phillips, LCSW, licensed therapist and confidence expert in Raleigh, NC, discussing all things related to self-love and self-confidence, and how we can improve ourselves personally and professionally.A bold question at a Georgia club—“Which one of y'all like me?”—sparked a love story rooted in faith, purpose, and self-work.In this episode, we unpack heartbreak, healing, and how confidence grows from clarity. From Detroit roots to comedy grind, we explore what it means to “know” your person—not by checklist, but by alignment.Think of love as a pyramid: God at the top, you and your partner climbing your own sides through gratitude, boundaries, and inner peace. When you can source joy within, you stop chasing it through people or applause.If you're navigating faith, love, or self-growth, this conversation will help you find peace, prepare with purpose, and recognize real alignment when it arrives.Plus, remember to join our podcast community—like, share, subscribe, and let us know what topics you want us to cover next.

MY NEWSLETTER - https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeJoin me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Tyler Mumford (https://x.com/StumpGuyTy).I'm thrilled to chat with Tyler Mumford, who heard me and Chris Koerner discussing the idea of launching a stump grinding business on a Holdco Bro episode and decided to quit his $180,000 job.We dive deep into the key strategies and tactics that helped him go from zero to replacing his income so quickly. Tyler reveals how total focus was his biggest differentiator and explains why he quit his job rather than starting this as a side hustle, feeling that the risk-taker gets the spoils. He shares how he initially focused on a B2B play with tree companies and quickly pivoted to include direct-to-consumer jobs by optimizing his Google Business Profile.Tyler also discusses the power of sharing his journey publicly (MO) and how that led him to create an extensive, 85-page Playbook to monetize the hundreds of questions he received. Finally, we talk about how simply being "in the game" of entrepreneurship led him and his wife to launch their mobile Swedish candy store, Amelia's Swedish Candy, which operates out of a beautiful 1962 Volkswagen Transporter and is already doing impressive revenue.Questions This Episode Answers:How did Tyler replace his $180k SAS income with a stump grinding business in about a year?What was the biggest differentiator that allowed a new service business to grow rapidly?How did a new business rank number one organically on Google Maps against established local competitors?What is the secret strategy for getting customers to write a Google review immediately after service?How can entrepreneurs monetize the constant questions they receive after growing an audience?Enjoy the conversation!__________________________Love it or hate it, I'd love your feedback.Please fill out this brief survey with your opinion or email me at nik@cofounders.com with your thoughts.__________________________MY NEWSLETTER: https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/5avyu98yApple: https://tinyurl.com/bdxbr284YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/nikonomicsYT__________________________This week we covered:00:00 From Corporate to Stump Grinding Success02:47 The Power of Focus and Risk-Taking05:59 Building Relationships and Market Understanding08:51 Leveraging Google Business for Growth11:46 The Art of Asking for Reviews15:08 The Surge in Stump Grinding Interest17:48 The Stump Grinding Community and Its Growth20:39 Building a Stump Grinding Community23:54 The Challenge of Helping Others26:09 Creating a Playbook for Success29:58 The Value of Information and Consulting33:20 Launching a Candy Business37:54 Revenue and Future Plans for the Candy Business

Ian Lara describes the real, uneven path of a touring comic: some cities sell out, others are thin, and that's normal. He emphasizes controlling what you can like stage craft, content output, and gratitude all while resisting comparison spirals from social media. He breaksdown his storytelling style with every line being a joke. Online, he favors clipping strong material over chasing crowd-work virality and insists stand-up must remain the priority even if podcasting takes off.More info about Ian Here: https://www.ianlaralive.com/Join our Patreon: http://patreon.com/hotbreathpodWhat you'll learnThe “sold-out then 12 people” reality of touring in the clip eraWriting punchy stories (a laugh nearly every line)Crowd work vs. material: when it helps—and when it cheatsThe New York grind: 5–7 nights, 2–5 sets… and finding your way+MOREJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtube.com/hotbreathpod?sub_confirmation=1Check out our classes and workshops here: https://hotbreathmedia.com

In this episode Dr. K breaks down why most people cannot “fall in love with the grind” no matter how hard they try. The real problem is exhaustion. Not the good kind of tired you feel after a full day on the lake, but the worn-out, stretched-thin kind that builds up from emotional avoidance, poor focus, and physical deconditioning. Weekends and vacations only mask the issue instead of fixing it, and modern habits like using devices before bed or relying on substances wreck the REM sleep needed for recovery. He explains that loving the grind only becomes possible after rebuilding your capacity. That means emotional conditioning, better focus, strengthening the body, and viewing your current work as a stepping stone to the life you want. The first weeks are harder and more tiring, but over a few months your baseline energy rises, your work becomes more manageable, and the grind starts to feel rewarding instead of draining. Topics include: Why most exhaustion comes from emotional suppression, not workload How poor focus and constant distraction drain more energy than the work itself The impact of physical weakness, posture issues, and poor sleep on daily fatigue Why REM sleep is essential for emotional processing and daily reset Reconditioning yourself through emotional awareness, focus training, and basic movement How to frame your current job as a stepping stone so your brain stops giving up HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Archispeak, we pull back the curtain on what modern practice actually feels like when AI, meetings, and the architecture grind all collide. We talk about coming back from travel feeling not three weeks behind but three months, calendars that look like Tetris played on hard mode, and what happens when you join a call and realize you're the only human in a grid full of AI note-takers. Cormac and Evan dig into how AI meeting companions, transcripts, and recordings change the way we think, remember, and take responsibility for decisions—and why it's getting harder to even know where the “real” record of a project lives when it's scattered across Zoom chats, email, Revit, and shared drives.From there, we zoom out to the bigger question: what this nonstop communication and tool-stack chaos is doing to actual design work, mentorship, and the next generation coming up inside firms. We wrestle with whether AI is really relieving the grind or quietly raising expectations so everyone is “on” all the time, and we talk honestly about boundaries, attention, and how to carve out space for deep work in the middle of the mess.-----Have a question for the hosts?

We were thrilled to welcome back acclaimed psychological thriller author and Richard & Judy Bestseller, Lizzy Barber, to the show. Lizzy is the author of several gripping novels, including Be Mine, and has a knack for cutting right through the polished facade of the author life to reveal the messy, chaotic, and often hilarious reality.As The Writing Community Chat Show, recently ranked among the top 10 writing podcasts in the UK, we've interviewed over 360 authors, from NYT best-sellers to indie superstars. Few, however, have been as candid as Lizzy about the sheer struggle of creative output when life throws everything at you.This conversation is essential listening for anyone who feels they are running out of time, energy, or hope while chasing their writing dreams.1. The Real Cost of ‘The Slow Draft.'Lizzy shared that her current novel, her fifth, has been the slowest to write, a process she describes as being “on ice.” This wasn't due to a lack of ideas but due to life: the birth of her daughter, dealing with family loss, and major personal hardships.The interview kicked off with a major truth bomb about managing expectations. Lizzy, who is working on this novel while juggling motherhood and dealing with family issues, admitted she has learned to accept a 500-word-a-day target.“I have worked out that for me that has meant 500 words a day. And I'm comfortable with that. And some days I will write a thousand and think, ‘what a great day.' And then the next day I might write two.”She argues against the perceived hierarchy in the writing community that values speed and high word counts. While some authors happily “splurge 4,000 words a day,” Lizzy opts for quality, slow progress, where her 500 words are likely to be “500 really good words that won't get cut up or replaced.”This is a powerful reminder: the goal is the finished product, not the speed of the first draft.2. Navigating Publishing: Big Five vs. Indie.Lizzy has the unique experience of having worked with both ‘Big Five' publishing houses and an indie publisher (Dura). She offered a rare, side-by-side comparison of the two models:3. The Uncomfortable Question: Imposter Syndrome.Perhaps the most resonant part of the conversation for aspiring and established writers alike was Lizzy's raw honesty about self-doubt.When discussing the draft she just completed after two years, she was upfront about her inner turmoil: “There is a part of me that thinks that this might not actually work as a book and that I might junk it.”This is imposter syndrome at its highest level - the doubt that creeps in after hundreds of hours of work. For Lizzy, this feeling is exacerbated by an “uneven publishing experience” and the anxiety of never finding a constant publisher “home.”“The worst thought is this kind of awareness of never being published again—that you're kind of you're done... That's the kind of constant fear that you kind of live on the highwire of as an author.”Her advice for surviving this? Focus solely on the writing, because that is the only thing you can control. Don't chase trends, and don't let external noise or sales charts dictate your self-worth.4. The Author Brand: Be Yourself. (Even If You're ADHD)Lizzy, who recently started to explore the possibility that she has undiagnosed ADHD, spoke about how she manages her time and how her personality informs her public persona.She admits she is good at jumping into pockets of time but “can't write around the chaos.” She needs to compartmentalize her writing time, a vital lesson for any busy creative.On building an author brand, her advice is simple: Be authentic.If you are an introvert who hates reels and being on camera, don't force it, it won't feel fun or look genuine. But if you, like Lizzy, are comfortable debating, answering difficult questions, and being visible:“I love being on camera. I trained as an actress... I like the sound of my own voice. I don't mind being silly. I don't mind being filmed. I say [to my publisher] use me for that. I'm very comfortable to kind of debate and be asked hard questions.”Find your niche, whether it's through newsletters, blogs, or public appearances, and commit to it. But whatever you do, avoid the pressure to join the “5 a.m. writer's club” just because it sounds productive. Prioritize your sleep and your process.Watch the Full Interview.Lizzy's interview is full of crucial, honest advice for writers at every stage of their career.

Send us a textEver catch yourself saying, “I'll be happy when I hit the goal”? Let's break that loop. We dive into gratitude as a performance tool, not a consolation prize—how to be proud of the work you're doing now while still chasing the next level. I walk through the mindset shift from delayed happiness to daily appreciation, and why that shift keeps you grounded, motivated, and hard to burn out.We explore the moving goalpost problem: ambition expands your targets, which is healthy, but only if your gratitude expands too. I share personal stories from opening a gym to pursuing franchises, and how respecting the struggle made the wins mean more. You'll hear how to reframe imposter syndrome by becoming living proof for those a few steps behind, and why specific, timely thanks to your “home team” and work team creates a powerful ripple effect. We talk simple scripts for acknowledging support, recognizing invisible privileges of progress, and using feedback—good or bad—to sharpen your edge.The fire metaphor runs through the episode: each new level has its own heat, and fewer people choose to walk through it. That's your advantage. Learn how to read the current season with perspective, audit the actions and inactions that built your present results, and draw a clear line between wanting more and doing the work that makes more inevitable. Gratitude in the grind won't make you complacent; it gives you the capacity to carry bigger goals without losing yourself.If this resonated, tap follow, share it with someone who's in the thick of it, and leave a quick review with one thing you're grateful for today. Your words help more driven people find the show and keep the ripple going.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.

After serving in the Air Force, Billy Rudd spent over two decades leading massive teams in corporate America. On paper, he had everything figured out. He had a great title, a solid paycheck, and constant travel. But something had to give. With two growing kids and a business idea that wouldn't leave him alone, Billy took the leap and turned his side hustle into a full-time gig. In this episode, he shares what it takes to walk away from "safe," how his military background shaped his leadership style, and why authenticity matters more than marketing. He also talks about bringing his kids into the business, the lessons they're learning, and what it means to finally have control over his own time.

In this special community episode of the Wonbyone Podcast, Obi opens up about the realities of playing overseas during the holidays—from missing weddings and birthdays to learning how to create new traditions in foreign countries. He shares lessons on dealing with homesickness, adapting to unfamiliar cultures, and why success sometimes starts with letting go of comfort.Whether you're an athlete away from home or just navigating change, this episode is a powerful reminder that growth often begins when you choose to stay the course, even when it's hard.

From doing laundry and cutting film to strategizing alongside one of the most dynamic head coaches in college basketball, Coach Jake Whitehead has mastered the art of turning humble beginnings into high-level success.In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we dive deep into Jake's rise from a homeschooled kid in Illinois to an assistant coach under Coach Yo at Ole Miss Women's Basketball, one of the most exciting programs in the country. His journey is raw, unconventional, and proof that passion plus patience always wins.Jake didn't have the traditional road into basketball. He wasn't a high school star or a college athlete — he started as a manager at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), doing the behind-the-scenes work no one else wanted. Laundry. Gear. Film breakdown.“It wasn't glamorous, but I knew this was my way in,” he says.Guided by mentors who saw his hunger, Jake leaned into video coordination, learning the analytics, patterns, and tendencies that define elite basketball. His eye for detail and relentless drive opened the door that would eventually lead him to the sidelines in Oxford.Before he ever drew up plays, Jake was building scouting reports. His experience as a video coordinator gave him an edge few coaches have.“You watch enough film and you start seeing the game differently,” he explains.That skill became his superpower. Now as an assistant coach, Jake uses analytics and film study to help Ole Miss outthink and outplay the competition — from breaking down opposing offenses to identifying hidden edges that win games.Working under Coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin — affectionately known as Coach Yo — has been transformative. Her energy and fearless leadership have made Ole Miss one of the toughest programs in the SEC.“She's fearless,” Jake says. “Her leadership makes it easy to recruit and win here. My job is to make her life easier and help this team achieve greatness.”Together, they've built a culture defined by discipline, joy, and relentless competitiveness — a mix that's propelled the Rebels toward consistent national relevance and their sights firmly set on a Final Four run.For Jake, success isn't just about strategy — it's about people.“You've got to meet people where they're at,” he says.Whether it's mentoring players, recruiting future stars, or connecting with families, his approach is rooted in understanding and empathy. He's not just coaching basketball — he's shaping young women to win in life.When he's not in the film room, Jake keeps it country. His playlists feature Eric Church, Morgan Wallen, and Travis Tritt, while “Jesus Walks” by Kanye West serves as his personal anthem of faith and perseverance.And if you're ever in Oxford? Find him at Old Coop Wings, where lemon pepper and garlic parmesan are the go-tos.

On this week's episode of Hurdle, Emily sits down with professional runner Sara Hall. Sara is an athlete whose longevity, incredible range, and commitment to the sport are truly inspiring. She's also the only American athlete in history to win USATF National Titles in both the mile and the marathon. Recorded in New York City on the weekend of the TCS New York City Marathon, this conversation highlights the depth of her incredible career. In it, Sara opens about her journey, the perseverance required for success, and the mental fortitude it takes to navigate the inevitable challenges—whether that’s a tough injury cycle, the complexities of competition, or even online critics. IN THIS EPISODE The Power of Perseverance: We dive into the grit required for a long and successful professional running career.

The Meaning of the Grind: Sara talks about what the "grind" means to her specifically at this chapter in her life, and her upcoming book, For the Love of the Grind. Rebounding: Sara shares her advice for moving on from big disappointments, including "slamming a bunch of coffee" and setting a new goal. QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Resilience and Perseverance "I want to be good period, not just good for my age." "What you speak over yourself is powerful." On Motherhood and Family "We just chose love over fear... it was just like closing your eyes and jumping off a cliff and just choosing faith." "The word 'Berchi' [Amharic for 'Be Strong']... I was like, I want them to be like keep their Ethiopian toughness." "When you're happier, you run better." On Identity and Self-Worth "You have to really have a love for the process, and an excitement to just continue to believe in what you're doing that holds you through all of it."

The San Francisco 49ers were able to survive three first half interceptions from Brock Purdy on their way to a 20-9 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football. With the quarterback putting the ball in danger, San Francisco turned to the ever reliable Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle to pull away in the second half. The Niners defense turned up the heat on Bryce Young and found a way to get the win in week 12. Bill Barnwell and Charlie Kravitz, of the Domonoique Foxworth Show, look at: whether or not Mac Jones is truly a threat to the Brock Purdy era, if the Panthers should tie their future to Bryce Young, and examine what life is like the the era of the ‘middle class franchise QB." 00:00 Welcome to the Bill Barnwell Show 04:30 Is Mac Jones a true alternative to Brock Purdy? 20:10 Life in the era of the middle class franchise QB 26:13 Is Bryce Young the future in Carolina? 43:13 Are we watching Matthew Stafford re-write his legacy in real time? 48:21 Should the Vikings and Browns swap QBs?

The Father Hoods crew taps back in with a throwback featuring the legendary Kardinal Offishall, and the convo is loaded with real fatherhood gems! Kardi kicks things off breaking down his family dynamics: from raising kids with tight age gaps to dealing with sibling jealousy, handling little ones acting up, and balancing multiple jobs without losing that crucial family time. He gets 100 about how his household held it down through the pandemic, managing school, work, and sanity all at once. The talk hits even deeper as Kardi shares how he and his wife built a home where feelings get voiced, problems get aired out, and communication is a daily practice.

Kardi also dives into introducing his kids to the neighborhood he grew up in, giving them the context without glamorizing it.

This episode is powered by The Seven Figure Shift 3-Day Workshop with Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Your business will always expose what you haven't healed." Darnyelle Jervey Harmon It's not your funnel. It's not your launch. It's not your marketing or your team. It's your nervous system. In this final installment of the For the Love of Money series, Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon pulls back the veil on the hidden forces sabotaging your revenue, no matter how brilliant you are or how many millions you've made. If you've ever felt stalled, burned out from striving, or stuck in a silent spiral of sabotage... this episode is going to feel like spiritual surgery. We go deep into the three invisible money traps that plague high-level CEOs, and why the real cost isn't just missed revenue, but missed purpose, peace, and legacy. If you're a 7-figure CEO in the making, or already at seven but silently circling six, this conversation is your mirror, your map, and your mandate to move. We don't do surface-level here. We excavate patterns, confront your subconscious thermostat, and call in the healing required for your next level. Here's the truth: You cannot build legacy in a body that doesn't feel safe with overflow. Until you address your nervous system's rejection of abundance, your strategy will keep stalling, and you'll keep thinking it's a business problem when it's really a money identity crisis. Scaling without safety isn't leadership. It's survival. And that pattern ends here. You'll walk with a visceral understanding of why your income keeps resetting, no matter how hard you work, the three survival-mode traps successful entrepreneurs unconsciously fall into, a  new lens for viewing launches, hiring, pricing, and burnout through a nervous system and spiritual healing framework and clear next steps to begin healing your money trauma, and a powerful invitation into the only container designed to do just that: SANCTUARY.    Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to recognize when your growth ceiling is actually a safety ceiling, not a strategy gap ✔ How to identify whether you're stuck in the Stall, the Strive, or the Sabotage pattern ✔ How to shift from money-based panic into identity-based overflow using spiritual and somatic integration ✔And so much more This episode is a call to put your strategy down long enough to get honest about what's really running your business behind the scenes: your unhealed money story. Dr. Darnyelle doesn't just name the subconscious sabotage patterns holding you back, she brings receipts, neuroscience, scripture, and personal stories to show you the real reason your growth feels stuck, stalled, or suffocating. This is spiritual alignment meets somatic safety meets unapologetic truth. And it's everything you didn't know you needed before you scale again. This is your invitation to stop pushing. Stop performing. Drop the mask, press play, and listen like your future depends on it, because it does. If you've built the business but your peace is bankrupt, or you've hit new revenue highs but secretly feel more pressure than prosperity, this episode will explain why… and show you how to heal it.

Gratitude Amid the Grind_Allen Hilton_11.23.25 by Covenant Presbyterian

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Christian author and podcast host Wanda Thibodeaux to unpack what grace in the grind really looks like inside modern workplaces driven by hustle culture, quotas and quiet burnout. Wanda breaks down how productivity has become a subtle idol in many careers, why so many leaders feel spiritually and emotionally empty, and how faith, neuroscience and mental health can actually work together at the office instead of competing. This conversation is for high achievers, faith driven professionals, HR leaders, pastors and founders who feel called to do meaningful work but are exhausted by toxic work culture. If you have ever wondered how to bring your faith into meetings without preaching, how to lead with compassion without dropping performance, and how to find small “joy jolts” on the job when your soul feels drained, this episode will give you practical, grounded and very real language to start shifting your workday from survival into purpose. About The Guest  : Wanda Thibodeaux is a professional Christian author, co writer and host of the podcast Faithful On The Clock. A trauma survivor and advocate for emotional honesty in leadership, her work has been featured in Forbes and Harvard Business Review. Her latest book, “Grace In The Grind, 52 Devotions For Thriving In The Workplace,” helps faith driven professionals navigate burnout, toxic work culture and ambition without losing their soul in the process. Key Takeaways  : Productivity culture can become modern idolatry when achievement and output are treated as what will save us, while faith, rest and mental health get pushed to the back of the line. Faith at work is less about preaching and more about presence. Wanda emphasizes that people notice how you carry yourself, how you listen and how you support others long before they care what you say you believe. Grace in the workplace starts with self forgiveness and patience. Instead of demanding perfection, we can accept human limits, acknowledge exhaustion and give ourselves room to grow. Small compassionate actions create real psychological safety. Simple gestures like checking in, connecting colleagues with mentors or bringing someone a coffee signal that people are more than “cogs in the wheel.” Joy is built through “joy jolts,” not lightning strike wins. Neuroscience shows that small daily moments of pleasure and gratitude reshape the brain, which means you do not need a dream job to experience real joy. Trauma informed leadership treats people as whole humans. Past pain, loss and stress always walk into the office with us, so healthy leaders slow down, prioritize people and create space for honest conversations. Isolation kills joy. Finding even one person who can truly see you and reflect your value back acts as a mirror and can be a powerful first step out of dread and burnout.
