We thought adulthood would look one way, and it turned out… not that. This week, we talk about what we expected life to be like when we were younger — and where it ended up instead.
This week on the pod we welcome the one and only Phoebe Tonkin; actress, producer, fashion icon, and all-round mega babe. Tonks has captivated audiences for years; whether she's splashing onto our screens as a mermaid in H2O, romancing the undead in The Vampire Diaries, casting spells in The Secret Circle, dominating Aussie TV with her award-winning turn in Boy Swallows Universe, or lighting up the pages of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Marie Claire. She joins her bestie Tez and our gal Sarah for a juicy, joy-filled chat that goes everywhere. We dive into the early days of Your Zen Life, the swirl of the wellness world, and the intense pressure of being a 20-something in Hollywood. The girls reflect on championing each other through the industry, learning from their younger selves, finding your voice (and losing it along the way), and why being each other's biggest cheerleaders matters more than ever. Phoebe also spills on her stunning NYC wedding, the epic new show she's leading, and the full-circle moment of presenting each other with recent acting awards. Sisterhood and Soul chats, just how we like it! This episode is proudly sponsored by Cookie Jam, Branch Basics and Wayfair.

As a special bonus episode ahead of the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, enjoy an interview with Rory McIlroy from our Eggsplorations feed in March 2024. The greatest golfer in the history of Northern Ireland discusses his roots there, his favorite golf memories growing up, and his favorite courses and earliest memories of Royal Portrush and Royal County Down. Rory fields questions from TPC Sawgrass as he prepped for The Players while Andy Johnson and Brendan Porath were across the Atlantic in his home country acquainting themselves with the golf culture and a few of the world class courses that Rory came to know in his earliest days as a junior standout. He also explains this golden age of pro golf success for the island, which boasts five different major winners since 2007 after a 60-year drought. There's also plenty of banter and insight into what it was like growing up at Holywood, how different it is now as a big shot on the PGA Tour, and much more.

Send us a textWhen Ella Wu Heilman climbed onto her first PW50 motorcycle at just two years old, no one could have predicted the remarkable journey ahead. Now fifteen and speaking with the wisdom of a veteran racer, Ella shares her extraordinary thirteen-year motorsports journey that's taken her from backyard dirt tracks to competing on a Kawasaki Ninja 400.The Pacific Northwest teenager reveals how her father's passion for dirt bikes sparked her own enduring love for racing, creating a foundation that would carry her through multiple disciplines of motorcycle competition. From early days riding in fields to her current racing schedule that spans Washington and Oregon, Ella articulates the unique progression that's shaped her identity both on and off the track.What stands out most in this conversation is Ella's profound understanding of what makes motorsports special: "The community is so strong. You learn so much from other people and their experiences... it creates this bond with people that you can't find in everyday life." This sense of belonging drives her forward even when balancing the demands of high school, friendships, and competitive racing becomes challenging. Her thoughtful approach to managing these competing priorities demonstrates a maturity that belies her fifteen years.Particularly fascinating is Ella's experience as often the only teenage girl competing against adult men in their 20s and 40s. Rather than being intimidated, she's embraced the challenge: "I keep up with them. There's been times where I've beaten them." This quiet confidence, coupled with her grandmother's trackside support (leading to a heartwarming story about beating another grandmother's grandson), showcases the changing landscape for women in motorsports and the intergenerational connections racing can foster.Subscribe to hear more inspiring stories from women changing the landscape of motorsports, and follow Ella's journey on Instagram as she continues breaking barriers on two wheels.

Sometimes you just stumble across someone's social media and are like "I want to talk to them on the podcast". Today, that someone is Catrina Dennis, aka OhCatrina, on their socials. Catrina joins me to talk about a number of fandom topics! We kick things off by talking about Star Wars - but, this time is unlike any other. As we start with their daily post asking for an Asajj Ventress show. Catrina and I talk about this character that has seen growth across multiple shows and even appeared in books and video games. You'll learn why Catrina likes the character, and what a show would look like to them. Plus, we do talk about the Star Wars fandom - from shows to movies, and points in between. From there, we're talking about growing up in fandom. Catrina's family growing up were in several fandom spaces, and so Catrina gravitated towards some of those shows and movies. We talk about the influence the fandom space had on them growing up, and how the love of fandom led Catrina to work in the fandom spaces. Catrina fills us in on the behind the scenes work of being a social media manager for quite some time, and shares work stories too. Catrina also talks about tabletop roleplaying games. I get to find out what kind of games and dice they sling. What stories and characters they're drawn to, and playing on streamed games as well as some games at the table. Plus, we're talking about the cosmetic business they just launched a few months ago, Side Quest Cosmetics. We get into the how's, the why's, and what you can expect from them now and in the future.

Adam Jablin: Harnessing Compulsions to Fuel Passions | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this powerful episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Adam Jablin, a recovery advocate, author, and creator of the Rewiring Addiction Loops Masterclass, shares his transformative journey from addiction to nearly two decades of sobriety, offering raw insights into overcoming personal struggles and embracing spiritual growth. Growing up as the self-described “fat kid” in New Jersey and later Boca Raton, Florida, Adam faced relentless bullying that fueled his extroverted, people-pleasing personality and eventual descent into substance abuse, starting with alcohol and escalating to speed by eighth grade, which temporarily masked his insecurities by transforming him into the “most attractive kid” in ninth grade. Despite achieving outward success with a multimillion-dollar business and family life, Adam's internal turmoil led to a profound emotional rock bottom, marked by existential despair and a confrontation with his ex-wife, who orchestrated a life-changing intervention with professional Michael Walsh. At the Hanley Center, Adam's encounter with a Catholic Priest and a striking UV light demonstration of invisible fingerprints sparked a spiritual awakening, shifting his view of God from an angry, judgmental figure to a loving force, aligning with his Jewish roots and newfound belief in a compassionate higher power.

Episode 94: Growing Up Your Business, Part 2 – The Strategic Power of PausingIn Part 2 of our Growing Up Your Business series, Patrick and Patsy dive into a bold but often overlooked strategy for growth: pausing on purpose.While the instinct to “push forward at all costs” feels natural in fast-moving companies, it can backfire when your foundation—leadership, structure, clarity, and process—isn't ready to support scale. This episode reframes the decision to pause growth not as failure, but as a strategic, courageous move that sets the stage for lasting success.Patrick shares a compelling story of a CEO who halted an aggressive growth plan after recognizing the team wasn't ready—an act that ultimately led to stronger, more sustainable results.You'll also learn about the Organizational Maturity Litmus Test, a practical tool to help leaders assess readiness for growth. If your organization is stuck in constant firefighting, relitigating decisions, or relying too heavily on top leadership, this episode is a must-listen.✅ Explore:Why pausing growth can accelerate long-term successCommon red flags that signal organizational immaturityHow to shift your mindset from chasing momentum to building itKey questions every leader should ask before scalingThis episode challenges senior leaders to take a hard look at where their organization stands—and what it takes to grow the right way.Follow us on Instagram: @thefrustratedceopodcast TikTok: @TheFrustratedCEOPodcast Contact us: info@thelyonsgroupconsulting.comWebsite: Frustrated CEOSocial: LinkedIn instagram: @thefrustratedceopodcast tiktok: @thefrustratedceopodcast

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with his good friend Thomas Dockstader — author of The Chi Codes, founder of The Chi Codes company, and a powerful leader inside “We Are The They.” Raised in a strict FLDS polygamist community under Warren Jeffs, Thomas shares the raw details of growing up inside a closed-off religious sect, being indoctrinated daily, and the moment he chose to walk away from it all at just 18 years old. His early life reads like a movie — from wearing pilgrim-style clothes in West Jordan to working grueling construction jobs across the Southwest while hiding his true family story.Thomas opens up about how childhood shame, hidden trauma, and deeply buried beliefs led him down a path of severe alcoholism, multiple marriages, and even a near-suicide attempt on his front lawn. But this story is far from over. He dives into the moments that transformed him — the life-threatening coma from a brutal assault, the pivotal realization that alcohol was only masking deeper pain, and the way transcendental meditation and ayahuasca ceremonies ultimately led him to profound self-acceptance and purpose.Today, Thomas is eight years sober and dedicates his life to helping others break through their own patterns of shame and addiction. He shares how he turned his past into a mission — offering his teachings, free courses, and powerful message of hope to anyone ready to heal. Whether you've faced addiction, struggled with identity, or just want to hear an incredible redemption story, this conversation will hit home and leave you inspired.

There's a fundamental difference between inheriting a well-oiled P2P machine and building one from scratch. When you're tasked with creating systems, culture and infrastructure that need to scale alongside explosive organizational growth, you're not just managing programs - you're architecting the future.But here's what most people don't realize: the "builder's mindset" isn't just about launching new initiatives. It's about thinking three steps ahead while solving today's problems. It's about maintaining the heart and soul of grassroots programs while constructing the professional backbone they need to thrive at scale.In this episode, Marcie Maxwell talks with Kayln Henkel, Chief Advancement Officer at the Parkinson's Foundation, who's made her career out of building sustainable fundraising programs from the ground up. As employee #44 at the Parkinson's Foundation, Kayln has had a front-row seat to the unique challenges that come with rapid growth - scaling from three walk events to 50+, navigating mergers, launching new program formats and preparing leadership for the kind of transformation that changes everything.Together, we'll explore:- Strategic staffing evolution and emerging P2P roles- Preparing leadership for growth through change management and ROI demonstration- Maintaining program culture while building scalable infrastructureMentioned Linksparkinson.org movingdaywalk.org parkinsonsrevolution.org Stay Connected on LinkedInConnect with KaylnConnect with MarcieConnect with the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum (00:00) - Welcome to The P2P Soap Box (02:39) - Introducing Kayln Henkel (07:08) - Growing Up with the Organization (16:31) - Setting the Long-Term Vision (22:08) - Staffing (27:00) - Preparing the Team for Growth (31:50) - Learn More
In her early years as a Christian author, Gayle often received winsome gifts from her publisher. Bouquets of flowers, chocolates, boxes of herbal teas. All lovely. But over time, her publisher began to send gifts with lasting value. A one-year Bible, devotionals, and prayer journals. As she used them, Gayle became a more mature believer—less distracted by frilly gifts and more committed to using her life to lead others to Christ. This approach recalls Timothy’s growth under the mentoring of the apostle Paul.. Stressing spiritual maturity, Paul advised, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). Then Paul added, “Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly” (v. 16). He added, “Flee the evil desires of youth . . . don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments . . . the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful” (vv. 22-24). Paul’s wise advice offers believers one other key benefit. Even opponents of Christ, when they see our mature choices in Him, “come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil” (v. 26). So “growing up” in God has eternal outcomes beyond ourselves. Let’s not wait, therefore, to grow up in our faith. Others will benefit as well.
