Do you ever wonder if you're doing enough for your parents? In this episode, I sit down with Baylor University professor Dr. Allison Alford to talk about the emotional, mental, logistical, and identity work women take on to keep their families connected. Allison shares how to recognize the daughtering you're already doing, why so many women struggle to feel like a “good enough” daughter, and how family expectations shape the way you show up in other areas of your life. We also break down the difference between daughtering and caregiving, how to set healthier boundaries, and why doing more isn't always the answer. Tune in to redefine what being a good daughter means without losing yourself in the expectations that come with it.

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have part two with Andrea Barnes, store manager of the new Food City in Athens,AL as she shares how a part-time cashier position became a career she never imagined. Ten years ago, after moving to Chattanooga, Andrea was looking for a fresh start. A stay-at-home mom for 15 years, she applied to Food City after her daughter encouraged her to do the same. What began as a part-time cashier position soon became an opportunity to grow. Andrea embraced every challenge that came her way, serving as a floral manager, receiver, assistant manager, and ultimately earning the role of store manager. She credits the leaders who believed in her, invested in her development, and opened doors as she proved herself ready for each new opportunity. Her story is a reminder that where you begin doesn't determine where you can go. With hard work, a willingness to learn, and a company that invests in its people, remarkable opportunities can become reality.

Andrea's journey began as a part-time cashier in Chattanooga. Through years of hard work, dedication, and leadership, she worked her way up to become the store manager of the new Food City in Athens.

A graduate of Rogers High in Green Hill, Andrea has a daughter who teaches kindergarten in Limestone County, and she's enjoying one of life's greatest blessings, being a grandmother. During our conversation, we talk about the remarkable history of Food City, from Navy veteran Jack Smith purchasing a Piggly Wiggly in Grundy, Virginia, to opening the very first Food City in 1955. We also discuss the incredible response to the Athens grand opening, support from local officials, what customers can expect, the new stores coming to Oneonta and the County Line Road area, Food City's commitment to giving back to the communities they serve, and the incredible team members who have worked tirelessly over the past several days to prepare for and serve our community.

Message from Matt Ham on July 26, 2026
What if one text message could change someone's life?For many of us, our fitness journey started because someone invited us to try CrossFit. That simple invitation led to stronger bodies, greater confidence, lifelong friendships, and a community that feels like home.In this episode, we're talking about Bring-A-Friend Week and why inviting a friend or family member is about so much more than filling a class. It's about giving someone the opportunity to experience expert coaching, supportive community, and a healthier future.We'll discuss:

Wilkinson to unpack why so many law firm owners are stuck working harder without getting further and what to do instead.What you'll learn:Why "hard work equals success" is a false correlation you can disprove just by looking at people around youThe difference between a self-employed mindset and a business owner mindset — and why 95% of firm owners never make the shiftHow Sheila's BED framework (Boundaries, Expectations, Decisions) helps you stop running your business on inherited "shoulds"Why the "20-year journey" most attorneys are on could actually take 2 yearsHow to build a firm around the life you actually want — not the one you assumed you were supposed to buildThis one's for the law firm owner who's doing everything "right" and still feels stuck, burned out, or like the business is running them instead of the other way around.By the end, you'll have a new lens for questioning the "shoulds" driving your decisions — and a clear next step for building a firm that actually fits your life.Chapters:[00:00] Why most lawyers struggle to finish what they start[04:42] Set boundaries and build a sustainable firm with the BED framework[12:00] Stop saying yes to the wrong clients, projects, and pay[21:31] Align your ideal clients and work with your firm's values[36:04] Prioritize family and personal values while growing your firm[50:35] Escape the self-employed trap and become a true business owner Resources mentioned:

Thank you For Listening. Click here to Send us a comment if you have any thoughts on the episode! Cherry Coke. Pop Tarts. A six-hour bus ride across Uruguay. Those details sound small until you hear what they represent: the moment a returning missionary realizes he is not the same person who left. We're joined by Dallin Hester, fresh home from the Uruguay Montevideo West mission, and we walk through the homecoming journey, the love waiting at the airport, and the strange shock of re-entering American life after two years of simpler routines. From there, we get into the real work. Dallin breaks down what Uruguay mission life actually feels like, from milanesa dinners and member meals to days when you're clapping doors and nobody wants the message. He opens up about learning Spanish when you feel behind everyone else, why the language rarely “clicks” all at once, and how obedience and tiny wins stack into confidence. We also talk about two very different mission presidents, mate culture, and why a slower pace of life can change how you see time, people, and priorities. The heart of the conversation is spiritual growth that lasts past the badge. We dig into building a personal testimony of Jesus Christ, learning to pray and listen, and redefining success when the numbers are quiet. Dallin shares what surprised him most about coming home, why he chose to delete social media, and how he wants to keep serving without the title. If you're preparing for a mission or supporting someone who is, you'll get practical guidance like reading Preach My Gospel and nurturing the seeds you plant.

Episode 4171 │ July 5, 2026 July 4 lit the flame. July 5 is where the endurance begins. The Declaration was adopted. Congress met in regular session and got back to work. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson opens on the morning after the 250th with the detail history almost never tells: the beautifully engrossed parchment in the National Archives was not produced until August 2 — what circulated on July 5, 1776 was John Dunlop's broadside, printed through the night, 200 working government documents dispatched to colonial assemblies and General Washington, who received his copy on July 9, immediately ordered it read to every brigade at 6pm, and watched New York citizens tear down the gilded lead statue of King George III and melt it into 42,088 musket balls for the Continental Army. The episode then traces what July 5 actually looked like inside the room — Congress in regular session managing military correspondence, financing a war with uncertain currency, and working New York's abstention toward full unanimity — alongside what it looked like outside: loyalist families making quiet preparations to leave, Elizabeth Lewis not yet knowing that British forces would soon raid her estate, take her prisoner, deny her a bed or change of clothes, and break her health until she died in 1779, three years after her husband signed, the unmonumented human cost of a document that told every king in the world his authority had a ceiling. The episode closes with the Black Robe Regiment's question on July 5 — not whether independence was justified but what it meant covenantly, what it required of a self-governing people entering a covenant relationship with God — and Scott's charge forward into Vincit's standing doctrine: the brush fire Samuel Adams described does not tend itself, the feather bed Jefferson warned against does not harden itself, and the covenant does not fulfill itself — it requires the irate, tireless minority who keep watching when the celebration is done and the work has just begun. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What were the Dunlop broadsides — and what does the operational reality of July 5, 1776, a printer finishing through the night, a rider heading north, Congress in regular session, tell you about how the founders understood the relationship between declaration and work? Why did the Declaration of Independence shatter Admiral Howe's peace commission before he could present it — and what did the theological architecture underneath the political argument, that God-given rights outrank any king's authority to grant or withhold them, reveal about what Britain was actually fighting against? Who was Elizabeth Lewis — and why does her story, a woman in her 60s taken prisoner, denied a bed, her health broken until she died in 1779, represent the human cost of July 4 that no monument has ever fully honored?

Matot: Succeeding Through Hard Work by Rabbi Avi Harari
In this episode of The CEP Mindset Show, Nick and Adam cover why hard work is just the entry cost at the elite level, the five anchors every athlete needs to develop, and what hard work looks like as you rise the ranks might. Nick shares a story about an athlete heading into his third NHL dev camp who only got on the ice four times in two weeks — and why that was exactly right. When you get to a certain level, everybody's working hard. Everybody's in the gym and putting in the reps. Hard work stops being the thing that separates you and starts being the thing that just keeps you in the room. So what actually separates you? Nick and Adam break it down through the five anchors - physical, technical, tactical, mental, and social.

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM732_FINAL.mp3 The striving set point is the pattern I see most often in high-performing business owners — and it’s one of the most frustrating to live with, because from the outside it looks like everything is working. You work harder than anyone you know. You implement new strategies and push your team. And you keep hitting the same ceiling. In this episode, Steph Tuss and I break down why effort alone can’t break through a set point, where the striving pattern comes from, and what it actually costs you. This is Part 4 of the Financial Setpoint Series. Episode 729 introduces the full framework and the free Psychological Set Point Analyzer. Episodes 730 and 731 cover the scarcity and survival set points. If you’re new to the series, start there. Striving Set Point: The Belief That Struggle Equals WorthinessAt the core of the striving set point is a belief that most people have never consciously examined: if it isn’t hard, I don’t deserve it. The effort you put in becomes the measure of your self-worth — not the result. Consciously, you hate the struggle. You say you want more time, more freedom, more ease. But your inner operating system has tied those things together so tightly that when something actually becomes easy, it doesn’t feel earned. It feels suspicious. This pattern almost always originates in families where love and security had to be earned through achievement. The straight-A student. The child who held the family together. The one whose role was to be the responsible one, the good one, the one who had it handled. You strived for approval as a kid — and even when you got it, it was never quite enough. So you kept going. And now, decades later, the pattern is still running. The business has just become the new arena. Striving Set Point: Three Ways It Shows Up and What It Costs YouThe first place the striving set point shows up is the income ceiling. You implement a new strategy, see a short burst of growth, and come right back to the same number. You pivot, hire, and add a new offer. The ceiling stays. That’s because the ceiling isn’t about your tactics — it’s about your set point. Until the internal thermostat is reprogrammed, the external results keep resetting. The second is what Steph and I call throwing a hand grenade into the business. When things are actually going well — when the struggle lifts — strivers don’t trust it. If something comes easily, it doesn’t feel real. So they unconsciously create new chaos: a team conflict, a strategic pivot, a major decision that blows up what was working. It feels like control. But it’s the set point protecting its territory. The third is comparisonitis. You watch someone else achieve what looks like comparable results with half your effort, and something in you goes sideways. The resentment builds, then the stress, then the burnout. And through all of it, the income ceiling holds — because the ceiling was never about how hard you worked. It was always about what you believe you deserve. The physical cost of this set point is significant. Steph noted in this episode that strivers tend to accumulate more health issues than any other type — the body simply isn’t built for the level of sustained pressure this pattern demands. Slowing Down Is the Fastest Way ThroughOne of the more counterintuitive insights from this episode is that strivers often need to slow down to move faster. The fly beating itself against the glass window — a metaphor from Price Pritchett’s You² — doesn’t need to work harder. It needs to pull back six inches and see that the door is right there. The answer has been available the whole time. The set point just makes it impossible to see. Awareness is the first step, but as Steph and I have both said throughout this series, awareness alone doesn’t change anything. You need new behaviors. The free Psychological Set Point Analyzer at lifeisnowinc.com/setpoint will identify whether the striving set point is your primary pattern and give you a seven-day plan to begin reprogramming it. For deeper work, Steph and I are hosting The Elite Mind Intensive on August 18th and 19th in Charlotte, North Carolina — two days focused entirely on set point transformation. Details and tickets are at lifeisnowinc.com/clarity. Episode 733, the final episode in this series, covers the Emerging Success Set Point — what it looks like when you’re doing the work and starting to break through. Join us. Episode 624 – The Starting Point is Desire Episode 372 – I Choose How I Feel Episode 204 – Burnout, Balance & B.S. YOU'VE LEARNED THE STRATEGIES… SO WHY DOES YOUR REVENUE STILL CONTINUE TO PLATEAU?Here’s what I know about most business owners: They’re working hard, doing the right things, and still hitting the same income ceiling year after year. That ceiling has a name — it’s your Financial Set Point. It’s the unconscious limit you’ve placed on what you believe you can earn, and until you see it clearly, it runs the show no matter what strategies you put in place.That’s what we work on at my upcoming Business Intensive in August. Over two days, I'll help you identify your financial set point, understand why it’s there, and break through it so you can finally earn what you want without the constant struggle and hustle that’s been getting you nowhere.If that sounds like exactly what’s been missing, you don’t want to sit this one out.

Women and money is a conversation most people only have in private, if at all. Alicia Umpierre is a patent attorney with a Ph.D. in chemistry. She built her career with no family blueprint and no financial network to draw from. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten draws out the story behind the credentials. What emerges is the women and money conversation you know but rarely hear spoken out loud. Alicia grew up in Southern California not thinking about finances. No one around her had a Ph.D. She didn't even know what one was until college. Without mentors, she says she might still be testing wastewater in a lab in Ontario, California. People told her what was possible before she knew to ask. Her patent attorney career path didn't come from a plan. She followed what felt right. She left behind what didn't. A career change to law came from recognizing a dead end, not a vision. She passed the patent bar in two months, went back to school for her J.D. while raising a toddler, then had her second son during law school, and built a career most people don't even know exists. What Alicia is still working on is teaching kids about money the way she wishes she'd been taught. Her own financial goals now center on a question many women know well: how do you build wealth as a woman when you know what you have, but don't have a trusted network to help you decide what to do next? She watched her immigrant father work without rest his whole life. She doesn't want to do the same. Syama built Wealth Catalyst because women and money deserved a better conversation. If you're ready to be in the room where that conversation happens in person, the Freedom Tour salons are gathering women across 32 cities this year, and the Wealth Catalyst Summit comes to San Francisco this October.
