Show Notes:Emilie is a an AMGA/IFMGA Mountain Guide but she likes lots of things that have nothing to do with mountains: cats, true crime podcasts, and books about early Arctic exploration to name a few. When she is guiding, she's a generalist and finds equal enjoyment on sunny rock climbs, steep ice, and snowy slopes. If she's not home in Salt Lake City, UT, she likes traveling the world….the more unusual the place, the better!Emilie's Links:http://www.emiliedrinkwater.comEpisode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, welcome back. This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today I am joined by a veteran of the guiding world, Emilie Drinkwater. With over 25 years of experience, Emilie's career has taken her from the rugged ice of the Adirondacks to pioneering leadership programs for women in Afghanistan. As an IFMGA-certified guide and a member of the AMGA instructor team, she brings a wealth of knowledge on what it means to make guiding a lifelong profession.In this episode, we dive into her transition from the Northeast to the West, the cultural complexities of guiding abroad, and a recent, harrowing health scare that changed her perspective on the risks we take in the mountains. Let's get into the conversation with Emilie Drinkwater.Quotes:On her start in guiding: “I literally begged my way into a job guiding people… Guiding's kind of my only marketable skill at this point. So luckily I like it and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon.”On being a female guide: “I love the title of your podcast because my whole career is like I have these opportunities because a female guide has been requested. And I'm often in a place where I'm… a bit of a rarity.”On the reality of the profession: “Guiding it's a good career for extroverted people, which I'm not. And so, yeah, any job, it's most of the time it's great, but there's definitely times where I'm tired or stressed or have a little feeling of burnout.”On the value of instruction: “I always learn from students… every single program I learned something new and I'm like, ‘Wow, I can't believe I've never seen or heard that before.'”On guiding in Afghanistan: “When we think of terrorists and Taliban… the majority of people in Afghanistan are just generous and kind and they're poor. They don't have money, it's a tough place to live.”On the guide's mindset during a health crisis: “As guides we are really used to being uncomfortable all the time… our tolerance level may be dangerously high. And that is something I've learned is I need to say something sooner if I'm not feeling good.”On finding the right partner: “A perfect partner is somebody who compliments you… somebody that you're on the same page with—they'll support you, but also you have a similar enough skill set.”On the definition of success: “Success begins with a willingness to try… because I think if you tried something you probably learned a lot from it… the success comes in trying and learning from each bit of it.”

From toddler years through the teenage stage, they break down what age-appropriate conversations look like and why timing matters.Nigel shares insights from his years of experience working directly with kids, explaining how young people are incredibly smart when it comes to connection but, not always in their choices.

Hi Parents! Do you notice that your teen is highly sensitive or easily overwhelmed? Dr. Judith Orloff, psychiatrist and empath, explains how parents can recognize and support highly sensitive teens, who often experience anxiety more intensely than their peers. Dr. Orloff introduces her newest children's book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit, sharing the story of Aurora, a sensitive rabbit learning to embrace her emotions. She connects this story to real-life guidance for anxious and highly sensitive teens, including the importance of alone time, healthy coping strategies, and ways to manage shame or bullying. This conversation provides parents with actionable insights into the behaviours of highly sensitive teens, how to nurture their emotional well-being, and tools to help them centre themselves when anxiety and overwhelm strike. Whether your teen is introverted, intensely empathetic, or easily stressed, this episode is full of practical advice for fostering resilience and self-acceptance. More Books by Judith:

This is an episode all about the hard stuff. Politics. Disagreement on tour. Tour sites where the truth itself is in debate. Confronting places with complicated, dark histories.Most of the advice out there is: avoid this stuff at all costs. People just want to have fun, they're on vacation. Guides should stick to the script and make sure they don't say something that upsets the guests. I'm not here as a tour guide to shove my opinions down everyone's throats. Can't we all just get along? Can't we just keep the discourse civil?Our guest this week, Mike Fishback, is a middle-school humanities educator and curriculum designer who thinks this instinct is exactly the problem. "Civil discourse" isn't about keeping things polite — it's about strategies for engaging with and managing disagreement and difficulty in learning situations, like a tour. Mike learned through experience that it's unwise to sit back, cross your fingers, and hope you don't upset a guest. That there are powerful ways to lean into difficult topics that make the whole experience more meaningful — intentionally creating dialogue through artful questioning and participatory techniques. And he has the educational frameworks and two decades of lived experience to back every word of it up.Mike also happens to have spent years as a client of mine — I was the tour guide for his group of middle schoolers on trips to New York and DC, and I saw firsthand how he engaged his students with really meaty, difficult topics in a way that didn't shut them down but fired them up.The lessons here aren't for kids. They're for everyone. And if you've ever told yourself that your job is just to deliver the facts and keep things light, this conversation might be the most useful hour you spend all week.More takeaways and show notes on tourpreneur.com

Have you ever meant well but found yourself over-managing, correcting, or directing too much? In the Transfiguration story, Peter does exactly that. He means well, but he hasn't learned how to listen. This episode is about listening and guidance, and how we're often led by our impulses instead of by God.  Text Matthew 17. Pod 285

Guiding Students in Their Faith by Divine Mercy Radio

The Rebbe advises that approaching parents about their sons' continued education must be tailored to their nature—encouraging without alarming them. In any case, it is important to speak directly with the students and, if possible, arrange an inspiring visit to Brooklyn, as was done with students from Boston and Detroit. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6065

In a world that constantly tells us we need more, God calls us to something deeper—contentment. True contentment isn't found in possessions, comfort, or circumstances, but in Christ alone. In this episode, we explore what Scripture teaches about being satisfied in God, trusting His provision, and finding peace whether in abundance or in need. Contentment is not complacency—it's confidence that Christ is enough. When we learn to abide in Him, we discover the secret Paul spoke of: strength, peace, and joy in every season.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week, I'm excited to welcome Serin Silva to the show. She is a strategic advisor to women founders, CEOs, and leadership teams. She led integration communications for eight acquisitions in a single year at a billion-dollar telecom, helping bring Oracle's first CRM and human capital management platforms to market. She launched the original MSNBC digital brand for Microsoft, and drove strategy for an early food delivery robot long before it was cool. She led five restructures and turnarounds for mid-sized companies, doubled revenue for mid-market tech firms, and delivered 150% business increase in eight months by forcing the right business and mindset pivots, which is why I wanted her to join today.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone feeling exhausted by trying to "push" alignment instead of creating it.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…drawing from her experience leading impressive acquisitions and product launches, Serin explains how leaders can shift from managing "by spreadsheet" to leading with human understanding. She discusses why high achievers often burn themselves out, how asking better questions changes outcomes, and what it really takes to guide people through change without losing momentum or yourself.   Key Takeaways: Leading change works best when leaders prioritize emotional alignment, not just operational efficiency. Asking better questions requires discipline, curiosity, and a willingness to challenge assumptions respectfully. Most resistance at work is emotional, even when it shows up as rational debate. Removing emotion from decision-making frameworks can unlock stalled progress and clarity.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Serin's honesty about learning to temper her fire without losing it. Her insight that growth often comes from separating self-worth from outcomes is a powerful reminder for driven leaders who care deeply about their work.   Running Time: 29:20   Subscribe on iTunes    Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Serin Online: LinkedIn Website

But his time in the Army prompted him to re-evaluate his life and invest in the search for a more meaningful relationship with Christ.

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch respond to a heartbreaking moment from American Idol, where a song written in memory of a young girl lost to suicide brings renewed attention to bullying, social media pressure, anxiety, and teen mental health. While the story is tender and sobering, the conversation moves carefully toward clarity rather than fear. Dr. Kathy helps parents distinguish between being anxious, a normal human experience, and clinical anxiety, which often develops when kids don't have the relationships or support to process worry well. Not every anxious child is on a path toward depression, but every child needs guidance in learning how to name and work through hard emotions. Parents are encouraged to stay observant without catastrophizing and engaged without hovering. The episode also addresses the reality that much of modern culture, especially social media, is designed to intensify comparison and emotional overload. Rather than blaming kids for struggling, parents are invited to come alongside them with truth, data, compassion, and hope, reminding them that what they're feeling is understandable and that they are not alone. Rooted in Psalm 42, this conversation reframes anxiety as an invitation to connection rather than a diagnosis to fear. When kids are allowed to express worry without shame and are guided toward resilience, faith, and support, anxious moments don't have to become anxious identities. This episode offers parents reassurance and practical encouragement to be a steady, hopeful presence in an anxious age.  

According to reports from Forbes and McKinsey & Company, as of early 2025, a remarkable 92% of small- and medium-sized business (SMB) leaders are optimistic about their companies' growth over the next three years. When it comes to growth mindset and revenue, research conducted in late 2024 found that 80% of senior executives at U.S. firms believe an employee's growth mindset is directly linked to profits. Additionally, 89% note that future success hinges on leaders embracing this mentality. In terms of strategic focus, a 2025 survey of experienced entrepreneurs showed that although economic uncertainty persists, 95% feel confident about their prospects for the coming year. Of these, 40% rank investments in AI and automation as their leading strategy for expansion. David Aferiat, a dual citizen of America and France, founded Avid Vines—an organic champagne importer operating out of Atlanta. He also serves as Managing Principal of The Avid Group, which coaches leadership teams through scale, transformation, and uncertain times with the Bloom Growth system. David grew Trade Ideas, a fintech company, from the ground up into a multi-million-dollar venture recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for six consecutive years. His leadership roles include President of the French-American Chamber of Commerce for the Southeast U.S., President of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) Atlanta Chapter, and Chair of EO's regional Nerve conference, which featured a $1M budget and over 500 attendees from around the globe. A generation ago, David's father embarked on a life-changing journey during the revolution between France and its then colony, Algeria, resulting in the family dividing between Nice and the U.S. It took 26 years for David and his father to reconnect with their French relatives. Inspired by both cultures, David draws from French art, food, and tradition, committed to introducing American tables to clean, artisanal Premier Cru champagne that honors legacy and leaves no regrets. But David's impact goes beyond champagne; he empowers others through growth coaching, guiding leaders and teams on their own Hero's Journey to build resilience, daily discipline, and strategic clarity.

Sam and Adrian wrap up the Seven Summits Series with none other than Mt. Everest. At 29,032' above sea level, Mt Everest is much taller than any of the other seven summits, and its history, notoriety and reputation speaks for itself. While Everest has been well covered on the Duffel Shuffle Podcast, Sam and Adrian endeavor to provide an unbiased look at climbing the mountain, and compare the two regular climbing routes for guided climbers, with as little opinion as possible. - Different "requirements" for prior experience exist on either side of the mountain, and many operators have their own prerequisites, but in general experience up to 7,000m is important. In theory, this experience and more can be gathered through climbing the other six of the seven summits. - There are pros and cons to each side of the mountain, but the most important thing when considering an Everest Expedition is understanding what your getting from your operator. Budget and Guiding do not go hand in hand. - While there are differences between sides in weather, infrastructure, rescue, technicality, access, etc. the each have reasonable pros and cons.

In this episode, hosts Bobby Cooley and Meg Landi are joined by Empowered Homes Team Members Kina Cockroft and Shiona Howard for a practical and encouraging conversation about how mission, vision, and values shape the heart of a home.Together, they invite parents to step room by room through the “house” of family life to explore how everyday rhythms, language, and priorities form a home's culture. Grounded in biblical wisdom and real life experience, this conversation helps parents identify where their family is today, clarify where they are headed, and name the values that guide daily decisions.From the living room where habits and tone are formed, to the kitchen table where vision is spoken, to the bedroom where identity and calling are nurtured, listeners will gain a simple framework for building a God honoring foundation that lasts through every season of life.This episode encourages parents to move from reacting to the chaos of daily life to leading with clarity and confidence. You will discover how to establish meaningful rhythms, call out your children's unique giftings, and create a shared family mission that reflects who God has made your family to be.Whether you are just beginning to think intentionally about your family's direction or looking to realign and refocus, this episode offers grace filled guidance to help you build a home marked by purpose, peace, and faith.Download the WorksheetDownload the New Year IntentionsIf you enjoyed this podcast, please subscribe to our channel! About Empowered Homes Empowered Homes exists to connect church and home by equipping parents, grandparents, and ministry leaders to live out gospel truths in the everyday rhythms of life.

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender step carefully into a painful cultural moment following the death of Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota. Rather than debating politics, they explore how moments of public tragedy and unrest can quietly shape a child's identity, and a parent's emotional posture. This conversation unpacks how fear and uncertainty can begin to define who we think we are if we aren't grounded in something bigger. Dr. Kathy walks through the five key dimensions of identity, intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual, and explains how helping kids develop a big enough identity keeps cultural moments from swallowing them whole. The episode also offers practical guidance for parents who feel overwhelmed themselves: how to apologize when we overreact and how to teach children that sadness is a faithful response before anger. Grounded in the image of Jesus weeping with Mary and Martha, this episode reminds parents that sitting with grief is not weakness, it's formation.

Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Every successful business and every successful founder has figured out, whether through impulses or versions of scaling, how to make their business more successful. Just because your business is successful, doesn't mean it's valuable. 2. A lot of times, what the sellers really want is to do something else, be that retirement, or investment in another business, or to come to the office less often, or not have the responsibility of managing people anymore. 3. When you're a successful entrepreneur, chances are, you have ignored a lot of well-meaning, but poor advise. And, your impulses, which may or may not scale, have caused a lot of your success.
