It's not instruction.”Quotables:"Courage isn't about being fearless. It's about acting with discernment—despite the fear."“You don't need to kill the fear. You just need to stop letting it drive.”“Is this a sacred warning—or just a dusty-ass lie?”Resources Mentioned:The Gift of Fear by Gavin de BeckerPema Chödrön's quote: “Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.”Stoic philosophy on perception and responsePostDivorceGlowUp.comEmail: quinn@postdivorceglowup.com

The future of private practice is here! It's time to leave the traditional private practice behind and build a lifestyle private practice instead.Over the last few years, I've seen many clinicians grow a private practice in a traditional way that ultimately turns into a job they want to escape.

It involves creating a business and practice around your life (and not the other way around!).In this episode, I'm sharing what a lifestyle private practice is and how it leads to better profitability and sustainability and allows you to live the life you imagined as a private practice owner.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Why more clients and staff don't always equal growthWhat is a lifestyle private practice?The three pillars of a lifestyle private practiceMore about my new program and where to get more informationDon't make the mistake of creating a job you'll one day try to escape.

What if 40 days was all it took to break a habit, shift your energy, and rewire your mind? Not six months. Not a whole year. Just 40 days. It sounds almost too simple—until you realize this number has shown up everywhere for centuries. From spiritual traditions to personal growth to neuroscience, 40 days is the timeframe linked to deep transformation. So what makes 40 days different? Why not 30 or 60? And more importantly—if committing to something for just over a month could actually change your life, would you stick with it? In this episode, we're breaking down:Why 40 days is the number linked to transformation in faith, psychology, and personal growthWhat actually happens in your brain, body, and energy when you commit to something for that longThe 3 phases of a 40-day shift—and why most people quit before the change even happensWhat happens after 40 days—and why some traditions extend it to 90 or even 1,000 daysIf you've been waiting for a sign to finally follow through on something—this is it. Is what you want worth 40 days? Let's talk about it.

Have you ever watched the movie The Secret? It shares this idea that you can manifest whatever you want you desire. One of the misconceptions is that if you really want something, you should just meditate or hope, and it will just fall on your head. Today, we'll demystify what manifestation actually is, with Alea Lovely, who is a spiritual advisor and philosopher who's been an intuitive and energy coach for over seven years. She's the creator and host of the podcast, Spiritual Shit, which is a No. 1 podcast on iTunes. I really hope you hear the humanity in Alea's story and how she talks about her journey in childhood. She shares about learning to listen to herself over the rest of the world and what that takes from each one of us to find the courage, the strength, and the honesty to do that with integrity. Alea had a religious upbringing. She was used to asking others – the priest, the pastor, the college professor – what her experiences meant rather than finding those answers within herself. She went through the process of learning her intuition, how her trauma informs her decisions and anxiety, and then trying to find her inner voice and questioned how it spoke to her. “It's really important for me in the work that I do that I not only help guide others to, you know, the answers that they're looking for, but also give them the tools and the depth of understanding how to do that themselves,” says Alea. “So that way they're never reliant or never dependent on someone else again.” Alea says manifestation was her gateway into spirituality. At 25, she became an atheist and was in a dark place where she felt she had no guidance and no one to turn to. She was scrolling on her phone, and “The Secret” came across her feed.  She dove headfirst into the idea of manifestation, positive thinking and affirmations. But she found missing elements to The Secret's formula, because they were calling it a law, but it doesn't work the same for everyone every time. “I can think positive all day long, but I'm still a Black woman of size in this world,” says Alea. “There are certain things that are of it feel available to me and that are not in my socioeconomic status." She says positive thinking is important, because if you're in a negative mindset, it's going to be more difficult to see those opportunities. The Imagine Method came from Alea asking, what does it mean to live a good life? “I start people off before you even get into the method of listing off your five maxims,” says Alea. “Your five maxims are like the top five things that you need to have in order to have a good life. So to give an example, financial security, romantic love, time spent with family, health and wellness.” Then rate your list. What follows is the Imagine Method framework: Inception – what are you starting from, and what is your current reality?  Manifestation – the acknowledgment of what you want and asking why you want it. Are you being influenced? Or is that an authentic need that's per your maxims? Anti-Belief – What is the belief challenging what you want? Growth – What change needs to happen to get what you want? Integration – How do you apply that change to your life? Notice – Observing the signs and synchronicities to help you expand Expansion – What do you do once you've manifested? Alea says the last step, expansion, is one rarely talked about. What do you do once you've realized that manifestation? And what happens if you worked really hard and realized this isn't what you wanted? “All my problems weren't solved because I got that manifestation. I think that that's so important for people to realize that happiness is an inside job,” says Alea. “I really believe that manifestation is only here to help us learn about ourselves, who we are, what we want, our identity, those kinds of things. And then the process starts all over again.” Free workshop that goes along with Meaningful Manifestation: https://www.thelovelyalea.com/shop/p/1g1f1awnn6g0hw16f0kxaipg5og3og  Connect with guest Alea Lovely: https://www.thelovelyalea.com/  Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: 7 Steps to Manifesting: https://sarahwalton.com/julie-foucht/  Ready to Reinvent Yourself?

SummaryIn part two of this Q&A series, Zinda Law Group CEO and founder Jack Zinda answers your questions about trial vs. Settlement, budgeting & legal myths.Discussed in this Episode:Trial vs. settlement strategyBudgeting for growthBiggest legal mythTrial vs. Settlement Strategy“How do you decide when to push for trial versus taking a strong settlement offer?” -  Most offers never leave the table, so don't be afraid that the money will be reduced if you choose to go to trial. Be realistic and ask yourself if the initial offer is as much or more than a jury would award to your client. Would that amount of money make a meaningful difference in your client's life? If going to trial is something the client wants, make sure to explain the risks involved and additional case expenses that can be incurred. Budgeting for Growth“What percentage of my revenue should be reinvested into marketing and operations?”  - “First, you have to know where you're going if you're going to get there.” Jack lays out how Zinda Law makes marketing decisions and how you can decide what's best for you. If you're unsure how to make the numbers work, don't hesitate to ask someone or hire a professional to lay the map out for you. Biggest Legal Myth“What's the biggest misconception people have about personal injury law?”  - “What we do is easy.” If it were easy, everyone would do it. That's what makes personal injury lawyers so important. “What does working with clients in a personal injury case mean?” Jack talks about psychodramas and their importance to understanding the complexities of your client's life. “How much money do personal injury lawyers make?” Just because you see large numbers on billboards doesn't mean that that money gets paid out. A plaintiff lawyer can get a large verdict, but no actual dollar value is exchanged if the defendant can't pay it. You can reach Jack at:jack@zindalaw.com512-246-2224

How does the U.S. stay competitive in manufacturing, EVs, and AI while protecting innovation and growing the workforce?Manufacturing has always been the backbone of Michigan's economy, and few people understand this better than Congresswoman Haley Stevens. Representing Michigan's 11th District, she has spent her career championing industrial policy, workforce development, and technological innovation. From her time on the U.S. Auto Rescue Task Force to her leadership on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, Stevens brings a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing American industry.In this episode, we explore how Michigan—and the U.S. as a whole—can maintain its competitive edge in manufacturing, navigate the future of the EV market, and ensure the workforce is prepared for the next generation of industrial technology. If you care about the future of manufacturing, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.Listen to learn:Why Michigan's EV industry is facing a critical turning point and what policies will determine its long-term successHow the CHIPS and Science Act is reshaping U.S. manufacturing—and the next frontier in supply chain securityWhy industrial AI and automation adoption are accelerating—and what's missing from America's strategyThe hidden workforce gap in manufacturing education that could stall industry growthWhat a little-known manufacturing success story in Michigan reveals about the future of U.S. innovation3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:America's EV strategy is at a crossroads. Policy decisions made now will determine whether the U.S. leads in electric vehicle manufacturing or falls behind.

While the act boosted domestic semiconductor production, gaps remain in minerals, advanced materials, and supply chain resilience. A national strategy is needed to secure the future of U.S. manufacturing.Industrial AI is evolving faster than policy. Manufacturers are adopting AI-driven automation, but without a clear national framework, workforce development and industry competitiveness risk falling behind global leadersResources in this Episode:Visit Congresswoman Haley Steven's Page: stevens.house.govConnect with the Congresswoman Online:X / TwitterWe want to hear from you!

We'll dive into the forgotten art of initiation - a powerful process that goes far beyond simple willpower or "knowing better." Learn why real change requires us to embrace death and uncertainty, and discover how our lack of proper initiation rituals may be keeping us stuck in patterns of reactivity and fear. Whether you're seeking personal growth, spiritual development, or simply wondering why New Year's resolutions never seem to stick, this episode offers fresh insights into the nature of authentic transformation and what it truly takes to evolve as human beings.“Many people are being dragged toward wholeness in their daily lives, but because they do not understand initiation rites, they cannot make sense of what is happening to them.” — Marion Woodmanwe discuss —Change is not just about "knowing better"Two crucial ingredients of initiationWhy many people struggle to make sense of their transformational experiences + resist growthWhat the ego's role is in all of thisWhat it means to come of agelinks —If you enjoyed the episode, check out —The Magic of the Third △Love the World.

Most small business owners excel in their chosen fields, but marketing often feels like uncharted territory. You know you need a website and an email list, but what should your website look like? What should you be sending to your email list? And how do you know if any of it is even working?David Fischer, Founder and CEO of Solutions for Growth and Constant Contact Community Coach, understands these challenges. For 14 years, he and his team have helped small businesses nationwide elevate their marketing efforts and get real results.David joined Dave Charest on the Be a Marketer podcast to share his insights on how to level up your email marketing using the power of segmentation. Simply put, segmentation means dividing your email list into smaller groups based on specific criteria, like demographics, purchase history, or even engagement levels. This allows you to send more personalized and relevant emails that resonate with each subscriber.“The more targeted and more specific the message is to those people, the more it will resonate with them and the better results you're going to get," David explains.Tune in to learn tactical tips for segmenting your email list, understanding the difference between lists and segments, and sending the right message to the right people at the right time.Additional Resources:Email List SegmentationSegment Your ListsEmail List Segmentation Best Practices

Thinking about how to change your mindset might bring on eye rolls, but shifting how you view your annoying (or debilitating) symptoms can have a huge impact on your quality of life.No one is spared from things in life that cause suffering. And yes, living with chronic skin problems, including Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), can seriously damage your confidence and self-worth.I've often heard from clients that how their day will go is dictated by what their skin will decide to do. And while I understand the challenge inherent to the unpredictability of your skin, allowing external factors like your skin to have such enormous control over your mindset and daily experience sets you up for failure.And with time, you likely will start to feel victimized by your skin (and other symptoms) and rather powerless.Joining me to discuss mindset growth, healthier emotional habits, and more is Brad Bizjack. Brad is a personal development expert and a master mindset strategist who has a decade of experience in igniting human potential. His mission is to awaken individuals to their limitless possibilities and empower them to create the extraordinary success and freedom they deserve no matter their circumstances or health.After working with 60,000 people, Brad is renowned for his ability to shatter mediocrity and inspire profound, lasting change. He excels in uncovering the limiting beliefs and toxic thoughts that lurk in the shadows of the mind, unlocking the doors to unprecedented achievement and fulfillment.In This Episode:Stories you tell yourself that DESTROY your mindset growthWhat exactly is mindset?How to change your mindset (that's more effective)When you allow your skin to dictate how you feelStrategies to create an open mindset aligned with healingThe formula for happinessQuotes“You've had worthiness since the moment you were born. No skin condition, no amount of results, no success, no anything will ever make you more worthy than you already are. Never. And if you think that for some reason the way your skin looks makes you a better or worse person, or more enough or less enough, you're giving your personal power away to something that should not be dictating how you live your life.”“There are gifts in every bit of negativity you could ever experience, because contrast creates clarity.”LinksFind Brad Bizjack online | InstagramJOIN ME → Sign up for the Success Accelerator challengeHealthy Skin Show ep. 131: Mindset: What To Do When Nothing Seems To Help Your Rashes

Here's a hard truth - your brain will always try to keep you safe and comfortable instead of moving towards growth and possibility (that's why it's called SELF-sabotage, because it comes from your own SELF).That's because your brain's ONLY job is SURVIVAL - to keep you safe. Back in the early days, SAFE meant to be safe from predators, finding shelter to survive the night, thinking proactively about food sources and water…But in today's day and age, we HAVE food, water, shelter and NO predators… so how does your brain, which is geared towards survival, keep you safe today?It's by this silly little thing called your comfort zone.And an outside perspective is the ONLY thing that can combat a warm, fuzzy, comfort zone that just DOESN'T want to let you go otherwise.Think of it this way - if you DON'T have outside perspective, you will fall to the trap of your own thoughts.You may THINK of making a big move or taking that next step…But you may also start to question if you are doing it right.Or if you are “good enough” to even do it.You may start to question "Who am I to think this is possible? Who am I to go out of my way to do this big scary thing?"And as soon as your brain starts to question in this way… you stop taking action. And when you stop taking action, you stop growing.In today's episode, we talk about how to break this habit of self sabotage.By the time you finish listening, you'll learn:How your brain was MEANT to keep you safe in the caveman age when threats were present... and how it keeps you safe and comfortable in today's day and age when there are NO active threats presentWhere thoughts like "who am I to think this is possible?" and " I'm not cut out for this" and "they are so much more smart, bold, confident, extroverted, X Y Z more than me" originate from so you can stop them from sabotaging your dreamsWhy NOT having an outside perspective will make you fall into the trap of playing small, preventing your growthWhat you can do TODAY to help you grow if you DON'T have someone with an outside perspective to turn to for supportLINKS MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODERegister for my FREE live training happening on January 15 at www.monicalittlecoaching.com/2024LEARN MORE FROM MONICA LITTLEWebsite: www.monicalittlecoaching.comInstagram: @monicalittlecoaching

"Do you remember seeing these photographs of generally women sitting in front of these huge panels and connecting calls, plugging different calls between different numbers? The automated version of that was invented in 1892. However, the number of human manual operators peaked in 1920 -- 30 years after this. At which point, AT&T is the monopoly provider of this, and they are the largest single employer in America, 30 years after they've invented the complete automation of this thing that they're employing people to do. And the last person who is a manual switcher does not lose their job, as it were: that job doesn't stop existing until I think like 1980.So it takes 90 years from the invention of full automation to the full adoption of it in a single company that's a monopoly provider. It can do what it wants, basically. And so the question perhaps you might have is why?" — Michael WebbIn today's episode, host Luisa Rodriguez interviews economist Michael Webb of DeepMind, the British Government, and Stanford about how AI progress is going to affect people's jobs and the labour market.Links to learn more, summary and full transcript.They cover:The jobs most and least exposed to AIWhether we'll we see mass unemployment in the short term How long it took other technologies like electricity and computers to have economy-wide effectsWhether AI will increase or decrease inequalityWhether AI will lead to explosive economic growthWhat we can we learn from history, and reasons to think this time is differentCareer advice for a world of LLMsWhy Michael is starting a new org to relieve talent bottlenecks through accelerated learning, and how you can get involvedMichael's take as a musician on AI-generated musicAnd plenty moreIf you'd like to work with Michael on his new org to radically accelerate how quickly people acquire expertise in critical cause areas, he's now hiring!
