Why Entrepreneurs Burn Out, and How to Think Differently About Stress | The Financial Operator Podcast | Episode 75    What if stress isn't the problem, but the story you're telling yourself about it is?  This is Part 2 of Jen's conversation with Suzanne Boehs of Kool Foam LLC, and it goes even deeper.  In this episode of The Financial Operator: Cash In, Chaos Out, Jen and Suzanne continue their candid, unscripted discussion about stress, entrepreneurship, partnership, and the mental side of building a business that lasts.  This isn't a tactical episode about spreadsheets or KPIs. It's about the human side of business. How entrepreneurs and their partners navigate pressure, comparison, decision-making, and long seasons of growth without burning out.  In Part 2, Suzanne shares insights from 18 years in business, including:  Why stress comes from every angle, and what you can control  How fueling your body affects decision-making and emotional regulation  The danger of comparison culture and social media highlight reels  Why fast decisions still require intention  How past failures create resistance to future growth  Reframing stress as adventure instead of dread  Why meaning matters just as much as money  If you're building a business, supporting an entrepreneur, or feeling overwhelmed by the weight of "doing it right," this episode offers perspective, grounding, and clarity. 

Don't Quit on a Hard Day This one goes out to my friends on TikTok — to Nikki, to Tasha, and to Ashley. It's a voice that leans in on a day when everything feels heavy and the finish line seems invisible. Follow a small, human story of a hard day that almost became permanent: feelings of exhaustion, the temptation to give up, and a quiet decision to rest instead. Tomorrow can look different than today, and a single hard moment doesn't define the whole journey. Leave with a simple promise: you matter, the people you touch notice you, and your pause can be powerful — just don't make it permanent. Have faith, let it begin.

In this week's episode of Elevate the Day, we are sharing personal experiences and scriptural principles on how to navigate feelings of hopelessness and anxiety.Fear and anxiety are universal feelings that everyone experiences at some point in their lives. The key is to acknowledge these feelings without letting them dictate our actions.Taking Proactive Steps It's important to make a conscious decision to address these feelings rather than succumbing to them. Sometimes it just takes a reminder of God's faithfulness to uplift our spirits.Journaling: A Powerful Tool One effective method to overcome overwhelm is journaling. Writing down your thoughts and feelings can help clarify what's bothering you and often reveals that the issues may not be as overwhelming as they seem. Engaging with Scripture Turning to Scripture is a vital part of overcoming fear and anxiety. Reading the Bible or listening to uplifting teachings can remind us of God's promises and faithfulness. Community Support Being part of a supportive church or group of friends can make a world of difference on tough days. Simple gestures like a hug from a loved one can provide comfort and remind us that we are cared for. Taking Control of Your Environment Be mindful of the influences in our lives. If social media or certain shows contribute to feelings of negativity, it's wise to limit exposure to them. Surrounding yourself with positive, uplifting people can significantly impact your mental state. Dealing with fear and anxiety is a journey that requires proactive measures, faith, and community support. By making a conscious effort to reach out for help, engage with scripture, and surround ourselves with positive influences, we can overcome the feelings of hopelessness that often plague us.

As we celebrate Christmas Eve, imagine the day before Jesus' birth. Joseph had been leading a donkey for likely five days as he and Mary made the 90-mile trek from Nazareth to Bethlehem. All so that Rome could tax him more money. The final insult to this long trip had to be when these ... The post A Hard Day appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.

Hey everyone. We are getting double teamed by the Beatles this week and it might make us cream our eyes out. We combined these two albums so we don't go insane. I wish I would have done the history of the album before each one but we still get to hear about Flavor Savers, the Best Christmas Movies, and having sharp bones.  We talk about the benefits of breaking up, we talk to Beck Claus, and reflect back on our busy 2025.  Next week we are talking Pink Floyd, "Wish you were here" and we question our sanity for the 264th time.    802 277 BECK        

Listen mama, I know how lonely it feels when it seems like you're the only one who cares about your family's salvation. Your husband doesn't seem to get it or just thinks it's not a big deal. Your kids seem like they don't want much to do with God at all. And you're just sitting here staring at eternity, fearful that you won't see them or have them in heaven. That feeling was so incredibly real for me until God shared some beautiful insights that helped me shift my perspective. In this episode, I'm sharing the biblical encouragement that lifted the weight off my shoulders and gave me hope again. Whether your five-year-old is covering their ears when you pull out your Bible, your teenager is rolling their eyes at devotions, or your husband just doesn't seem interested in spiritual conversations, this episode is for you. I'm giving you practical biblical encouragement to stand firm in faith and stop carrying burdens that were never meant to be yours. My Heart for You: Mama, if you're feeling like the odd one out or the black sheep in your family because of your faith, I want you to know you're not alone. God showed me that through daily prayer and standing on His promises, we can have peace instead of anxiety about our family's eternity. This isn't about doing more or trying harder—it's about surrendering what isn't ours and focusing on what is. Daily prayer becomes less of a burden and more of a partnership with God when we understand what's truly ours to carry. Ready to Go Deeper?

There are seasons of homeschooling when everything feels heavier than usual. The holidays are busy, the semester is winding down, medical needs don't pause, and ADHD brains—ours and our kids'—are already stretched thin.In this episode, I share how movie schooling has supported our family for years as a way to keep learning connected, meaningful, and low-pressure. I talk about how learning through stories—books, movies, and shared conversation—helps children understand history, culture, and character at a deeper level, and why this approach works especially well for ADHD and overwhelmed brains.I also share simple movie ideas you can use right away, how this kind of learning can still count for homeschooling (even in a portfolio state), and why learning through connection often sticks longer than worksheets ever could.If you're tired, sick, stretched thin, or quietly wondering how to keep learning going without burning out, this episode is meant to feel like a gentle place to land.

Today I'm jumping on the mic at the end of a challenging day to share some unfiltered reflections on what it really looks like behind the scenes of entrepreneurship. In this interesting season and in the spirit of keeping it real, I knew it was important to show up, even when things feel tough. This isn't just about business strategy or high-energy wins, but about navigating the emotional labour, inner dialogue, and growth that comes with building something meaningful. If you've ever asked “Is it always going to feel this hard?” I'm right there with you. Tune in to hear more about: • What it feels like to carry the weight of a brick and mortar business in a tough season • Burnout, frustration,  imposter syndrome and emotional challenges we don't always talk about • Why slowing down doesn't mean you're falling behind • A powerful reframe to remind yourself on a hard dayEntrepreneurship is messy, beautiful, exhausting, and full of moments that stretch us, but we don't have to do it alone AND we don't have to pretend it's always easy. If this episode resonated, I'd love to hear what season you're walking through. My DMs are always open @AlliArruda. Let's reframe & reflect together.Want to Make More Money in 2026?

Episode 270 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast continues the deep dive into The Beatles Anthology, as Tom Clark and Phil Lindsey pick up the story with Parts 3 and 4 of the landmark documentary. This episode covers the band's arrival in the United States in early 1964 and the explosion of Beatlemania that followed — from the Ed Sullivan appearances and first U.S. concerts to the cultural impact of A Hard Day's Night. The conversation also moves into Part 4, as nonstop touring, mounting pressure, and key creative turning points begin to reshape the band.

Are you longing to feel regulated and restored during the holidays, instead of drained? This episode will show you how. Whether you're surrounded by family who trigger old patterns or spending the holiday in quiet, longing, or grief, your nervous system feels it. And if you're healing from cancer, autoimmune disease, MS, ALS, dementia, or chronic illness, these emotional states can directly impact inflammation, sleep, energy, and symptoms.Today's episode is about staying grounded when connection feels complicated.Holiday stress shows up in two primary ways: overwhelm from people, or overwhelm from absence. Both can activate the same physiological stress pathways: increasing cortisol, tightening the chest, disrupting digestion, and pulling the body into survival mode.In this episode, we break down how to identify your triggers, how to regulate your nervous system when emotions spike, and how to create micro-moments of connection even if you're alone. You'll learn practical tools to help you feel anchored even when others (or circumstances) feel destabilizing.By the end of this episode, you'll know:How to recognize your body's early stress signals, before overwhelm takes over.Grounding tools like box breathing, sensory anchoring, micro-breaks, and moment-to-moment boundary-setting.How to navigate loneliness or grief without spiraling into emotional or physiological shutdown.Connection practices that create meaning, even in quiet holidays — from micro-rituals to supportive calls to intentional presence.How to reframe triggers and silence as signals toward care rather than signs of failure.You'll leave with a simple three-part practice for staying grounded: awareness, regulation, and intentional action.Listen now to learn how to protect your emotional and physical wellbeing during one of the most complex emotional days of the season. Whether you're surrounded by too much noise or too much quiet, you can stay connected to yourself — and that connection supports your healing more than you know.Up next, on Day 6, we'll talk about intuitive versus emotional eating, cravings, and how to navigate holiday food without guilt, fear, or stress.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

75 HARD Day 57 (Happy Black Friday)

In this episode, we dive into what it really takes to let go of feeling sorry for yourself — not by ignoring your emotions, but by reclaiming your power. You'll learn how to shift out of self pity, step into radical self support, and become your own biggest cheerleader. We explore why this shift is essential for attracting abundance, aligned opportunities, and anything you desire in this world. When you back yourself, believe in yourself, and stand with yourself, you amplify your energy — and the universe responds.

Milk Bar founder Christina Tosi didn't set out to become a dessert icon. She just knew that if there was one thing she'd like to do every day for the rest of her life, it was baking cookies. That instinct led her from the world of New York City fine dining to the early days of Momofuku, where David Chang pushed Christina to pursue her passion for baking. Since then, Milk Bar has become synonymous with cereal milk ice cream and compost cookies, and Christina herself has won two James Beard awards, written numerous cookbooks, and turned Milk Bar into a cultural phenomenon. In this episode, recorded live at the Charter Workplace Summit in NYC, Christina shares the ingredients behind Milk Bar's success: a strong work ethic inherited from her parents, a sense of childlike wonder that she's never lost sight of, and a soundtrack – from Bob Marley to LCD Soundsystem – that reminds her to lose herself, find herself, and keep creating. Here are her songs: The Beatles, “A Hard Day's Night” Alanis Morissette, “You Oughta Know” Bob Marley and the Wailers, “Waiting in Vain” LCD Soundsystem, “Daft Punk Is Playing at My House” Listen to Christina Tosi's ⁠full playlist on Spotify⁠.
