Your best clients joined immediately. And now? Filling your signature offer feels slower. Heavier. Less electric. In this episode, Ramona breaks down the real reason this happens — and why it's not a strategy problem. It's a perception and trust gap. You'll learn: - Why your early buyers “spoiled” your sales process - How you've been selling only to your hottest audience - The hidden gap between visibility and trust - Why your signature offer should generate revenue year-round — even when you're not pushing - The dangerous pattern of creating more offers instead of fixing the real bottleneck - How to turn your signature offer into the cultural anchor of your brand If your revenue spikes when you push… If you're thriving on trust you built two years ago… If your signature offer is your best work but not your biggest revenue driver… This episode will show you where your real gap is. Your signature offer shouldn't just be the room you love most. It should be the offer that defines you. Pays you. And makes your name synonymous with the result you deliver. There's more potential sleeping inside it than you think. Join the waitlist for my brand-new, still top-secret offer designed to help you close that gap - strategically and permanently >> [https://ramona-oxenbauer.com/the-headliner-waitlist](https://ramona-oxenbauer.com/the-headliner-waitlist) **>> More from AIMING HIGH

Formed in early 2022, Townsville metal outfit Varrim burst onto the scene with their debut single Buried in the Hills in August 2022, immediately setting the tone for their signature sound: angry, heavy, and groovy, with blasts of rage, wicked hooks, and evil breakdowns. This track marked the start of what would become Varrim's DNA.Following up with Spirit Bomb - inspired by vocalist Kurt's love for Goku from Dragon Ball Z - the band continued to refine their sound — blending brutal heaviness with melodic and chaotic energy. In April 2023, Varrim released Hunger for the Taste of Conquer, while simultaneously chipping away at their debut EP, Funeral for the Undead, featuring four tracks: Funeral for the Undead, Slaves, Genetic Hell, and Dethroned.The EP launched Varrim into live performance mode, securing shows across Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, and Yeppoon. Known for their high-energy, brutal live sets, Varrim quickly gained a reputation as a band to watch in the local heavy scene.In December 2024, the band teamed up with local filmmaker Arik to release their debut music video for the single Exhume, featuring vocals from Yowie Smith. Exhume showcased a new direction for Varrim — darker, heavier, and packed with groove-laden, crushing breakdowns — setting the stage for the band's next evolution.Throughout the following year, Varrim focused on recording their next single, Carnography, and developing a music video to match. Despite a busy year of recording and production, the band still tore up stages alongside acts like Hidden Intent, King Parrot, and Pig Destroyer, as well as performing with numerous local heavy bands, steadily building a devoted following.Carnography, dropping 21/02/26, will be the first release from Varrim's upcoming 5-track EP Devourance. With more music, more live shows, and a relentless drive, 2026 promises to be another year of growth, aggression, and pure Varrim energy.

If decisions feel heavier than they should — not hard, just heavier — this episode is for you. You're not burned out. You're not broken. And you're not lacking skill. In this conversation, Tami names a pattern she sees in senior leaders: decision drag. The internal friction that shows up when you've outgrown the version of leadership that got you here. What You'll Hear The difference between burnout and decision drag Why high performers often mislabel friction as exhaustion How outdated leadership identity creates internal debate What shifts when decisions are allowed to fully land Leadership Pattern to Notice When decisions cost more energy than they used to, it's not always workload. Sometimes it's misalignment inside your leadership operating system. You're still capable. You're still performing. But the internal debate is louder than it should be. Leadership Noticing This week, notice: Where you revisit decisions that were already made Where you rehearse conversations after the fact Where you gather one more opinion even though you already know No fixing. Just noticing. Concepts Introduced Burnout versus decision drag, leadership identity evolution, internal misalignment, leadership operating systems, and the energetic cost of unsettled decisions are explored throughout this episode. What's Coming Next This month, we're going deeper into decision drag — what causes it, how to diagnose it, and what actually recalibrates it at the system level. Something I Don't Want You to Miss The heaviness you're feeling isn't weakness. It's evolution. The version of you that got you here may not be the version required for what's next. And that's not a crisis — it's a calling. When leadership feels lighter, it's not because the stakes are lower. It's because the internal debate is quieter. If you're ready to look at this at the system level, that's the work we do inside a Leadership Strategy Call.

January stretched me in ways I didn't expect. Sickness in our home. Hospital visits. Spiritual warfare. And a question I couldn't ignore: Why does it sometimes feel harder when you get closer to God? In this episode of Eat Don't Compete, I share how one of the greatest lessons from this season wasn't strength — it was spiritual stamina. Spiritual stamina is the endurance to stay faithful when storms don't stop. It's the sobriety, consecration, and discernment required to withstand weight you once prayed for. We talk about: The cost of anointing Accepting what the Lord allows Why spiritual preparation matters How knowing God builds discernment Why comfort can weaken spiritual endurance What it means to stand firm because you know whose you are If you've been feeling stretched, opposed, or spiritually fatigued… this conversation is for you. You're not being broken. You're being built.

A celestial grandfather strolls low across the south on winter evenings. He’s represented by two stars. In the western world, they’re part of the constellation Columba, the dove. But in ancient China they were known as the Grandfather. The stars are Alpha and Epsilon Columbae. Coincidentally, they’re about the same distance from Earth – about 280 light-years. And both are much bigger and brighter than the Sun. But there’s a big difference in their ages, so the stars aren’t related. Alpha – the First Star of Grandfather – is the brighter of the two – the brightest member of Columba. It’s less than a hundred million years old – about two percent the age of the Sun. But it won’t be around much longer. It’s about four and a half times the mass of the Sun. Heavier stars age more quickly. In the next 150 million years or so, Alpha will move out of the “prime” phase of life and into the next phase, as a giant. Epsilon has already reached that phase. It’s not as massive as Alpha, but it’s about one and a half billion years older – a third the age of the Sun. It’s puffed up to many times the size of the Sun, so it shines much brighter. Before long, though, it will cast off its outer layers, leaving only its hot, dead core – and Grandfather will be down to a single star. Columba is low in the south-southeast at nightfall. Alpha and Epsilon are close together, near the center of the constellation. Script by Damond Benningfield

We often assume that achievement brings relief.A higher title. Greater influence. More authority.Surely, at some point, the pressure eases.But what if that assumption is wrong?In this episode of The Strategist Is In, Dr. Loren M. Hill explores what she calls “the boulder at the top” the quiet emotional weight experienced by leaders, executives, and high-achievers whose influence continues to expand.Drawing from a candid moment in a high-level leadership gathering, Loren unpacks:• Why the higher the influence, the heavier the expectation• The myth of “arrival” in leadership• The difference between meaningful challenge and structural friction• How competence becomes baseline and often invisible• Why excellence can feel cumulative in some spaces and endlessly resetting in others• The structural roots of exhaustion at the topThis episode continues Season 5's exploration of The Emotional Cost of Excellence, reframing leadership strain as a design issue rather than a resilience failure. Plus: Download the free companion reflection workbook to map where your effort accumulates and where it resets.Dr. Loren M.

Alpha Lyncis is only about a third of the age of the Sun. Yet the star has already zoomed through the prime phase of life. Now, it’s nearing the end of its life. And it’s letting us know about it – it’s the brightest star of the constellation Lynx. That’s not necessarily saying much. Lynx is a large constellation, but it’s faint – only a few of its stars are bright enough to see from light-polluted cities or suburbs. In fact, the astronomer who created it, in the 1600s, called it “Lynx” because you needed the eyes of one to see it. Alpha Lyncis is classified as a red giant. It’s about half-again the mass of the Sun. Heavier stars age more quickly. Such a star “burns” through the original hydrogen in its core in a hurry. As the core adjusts to the change, the star’s outer layers puff up. Today, Alpha Lyncis is more than 50 times the diameter of the Sun. As it got bigger, the star got cooler and redder – making it a red giant. Puffing up also made the star hundreds of times brighter than the Sun. So Alpha Lyncis is visible – faintly – even though it’s a little more than 200 light-years away. That makes it one of the few stars in this faint constellation that you don’t need the eyes of a lynx to see. Lynx is well up in the east-northeast at nightfall. It’s about half way between the Big Dipper and the twins of Gemini. But you need nice, dark skies to see much. More about the constellation tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

And quietly frustrating.In this episode of Fit and Fabulous, I'm unpacking one hormone that changes everything in midlife: oestrogen.We'll explore:Why oestrogen affects far more than fertility — including muscle, inflammation, stress, gut health, and fat storageWhy menopause weight gain isn't a lack of discipline, motivation, or willpowerAnd why doing the same things as before menopause can no longer give you the same resultsUsing a simple (and very human) story, I'll explain what's really happening inside your body — and why the solution isn't trying harder, but doing things differently.If you've ever thought “What is wrong with me?” — this episode is for you.Nothing is wrong with you.

Parenting pressure can linger even when life feels stable. This episode explores why subtle tension isn't failure, but information — and how awareness creates safety when identity-level misalignment has quietly replaced presence.Parenting pressure doesn't always arrive during crisis.Often, it shows up after things have settled — when the hard season has passed, routines are working, and life looks “fine” from the outside. And yet, something feels tighter than it needs to be.In this Monday episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly introduces the Recognition stage of identity-level recalibration through the lens of parenting — not as a strategy to improve, but as a relational environment where pressure and presence quietly shape everything.This conversation is for high-capacity humans who are still showing up, still caring deeply, and still holding responsibility — but noticing that it costs more than it used to.In this episode, you'll explore:Why parenting tension often appears after survival mode endsHow subtle tightness is a form of awareness, not failureWhat the Recognition stage actually is — and why it always comes firstHow pressure quietly replaces presence without us realizing itWhy noticing does not obligate action or decision-makingHow nervous system safety is created through permission, not urgencyThe difference between being less capable and being less overextendedDrawing from nervous system wisdom, psychology, and lived experience, Julie reframes “feeling stuck” not as a lack of insight, but as a learned reflex to act too quickly on awareness — a pattern that keeps the system braced and prevents integration.This is not mindset work.It's not productivity coaching.And it's not another parenting approach.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) works at the root — creating the conditions where awareness is safe, pressure releases, and presence returns naturally.This episode is about orientation, not resolution.Recognition before release.Companionship instead of correction.Today's Micro Recalibration:Complete this sentence, without analysis or fixing:“One place parenting feels tighter than it needs to be is…”Awareness is enough for today.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Send Katie a Text Message!! If you've ever looked at your business and thought, “Why did this feel easier when I was making less money?”—this episode is for you.Today, I'm talking directly to designers who are doing “everything right” on paper. The revenue is there. The team is there. The projects are bigger. And yet… everything feels heavier. More complex. More draining.Here's the truth I want you to hear upfront: you didn't do anything wrong. This tension doesn't show up because you failed—it shows up because you succeeded. And in this episode, I walk you through what that actually means and how to respond as a CEO, not by working harder, but by building a business that can truly carry its own weight.In this episode, I cover:Why most designers hit a wall after profitability—not before itThe difference between effort and capacity (and why effort eventually stops working)How to recognize when your business has outgrown its current “muscle”Why more revenue doesn't automatically equal more freedomThe mindset shift from control to capacity—and why letting go is strategic, not recklessHow the wrong client mix can exhaust even the strongest systemsWhy decision-making has to be decentralized if your business is going to scale sustainablyHow processes like project closeouts reduce emotional labor and prevent repeated mistakesThe real reason your business feels heavy (and why it's not a time management failure)I also share personal examples from my own firm—where I hit ceilings, what broke when we grew too fast, and the exact shifts that allowed the business to support growth without burning me out.This episode is about evolution. About recognizing when your business is asking for something different. And about understanding that heaviness is a signal—not a verdict.Final takeaway:If your business feels heavy right now, it doesn't mean you're bad at managing your time. It means your business has outgrown the way it was built—and that's not failure. That's growth asking for leadership.And if you're listening and thinking, “This is exactly where I am,” I see you. You don't need more grit. You need a business designed for the level of success you're already experiencing.As always, your business should be working for you—not the other way around.Connect with Katie LinkedInBusiness Strategy Sessions for Interior Designers Free Resources for scaling your interior design firmWebsite

High performers often sense something shifting in their relationships before they have words for it. When a relationship works but feels heavier than it should, this episode explores identity shifts, role confusion, and how awareness returns without urgency.Some of the most disorienting moments in relationships don't come from conflict — they come from quiet awareness.In this episode of The Recalibration, we explore a subtle experience many high performers, leaders, and deeply responsible people recognize: a relationship that works, yet feels heavier than it should.Nothing is “wrong.”And yet, something is different.This episode focuses on the Recognition stage of the Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) pathway — the stage where awareness returns without urgency, and identity begins to shift beneath familiar roles.Often, this heaviness isn't dissatisfaction.It's vigilance.When you've lived for a long time as the stabilizer, the emotional anchor, or the one who carries the relational load, your nervous system adapts. Responsibility becomes reflexive. Presence turns into monitoring. And what once felt natural begins to feel effortful.This is not a communication problem.It's not a mindset issue.And it's not a failure of gratitude.It's a sign of identity realignment.In this episode, we explore:Why relationships can feel heavier during identity shiftsRole confusion and over-functioning in close partnershipsHow high achievers often carry emotional responsibility without noticingThe difference between functional relationships and alive onesWhy awareness itself is movement — not a demand for actionThis work is not about fixing your relationship.Identity-Level Recalibration is not another mindset tactic — it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. It begins with who you are, not what you do.Today's Micro RecalibrationYou don't need to do anything with this — just notice.Where, in your relationship, do you feel a sense of responsibility that no one has explicitly asked you to carry?Not to change it.Not to justify it.Just to notice it.Recognition always begins here.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Lee Wolak explores why the longer we retreat from life, the harder it feels to re-engage and how that quiet withdrawal slowly limits our growth.

Across the world, cars are getting taller, wider and heavier. Sports Utility Vehicles, or SUVs, now dominate global car sales, and the trend has continued into the electric age with many new EVs larger than ever.In this episode of The Climate Question, Jordan Dunbar examines why bigger cars have become so popular with drivers and so profitable for manufacturers. From comfort and safety to status and aspiration, SUVs are reshaping roads across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.Size matters. Heavier vehicles use more energy, require bigger batteries, and create challenges for cities, from congestion and parking to road damage and safety. Jordan speaks to Theo Leggett, the BBC's International Business Correspondent, and Anjani Trivedi, Global Business Correspondent at The Economist, about car-spreading, emissions, electrification, and whether governments and consumers could reverse the trend.Guests: Theo Leggett, BBC International Business Correspondent Anjani Trivedi, Global Business Correspondent, The EconomistPresenter: Jordan Dunbar Production team: Ben Andrews, Grace Braddock, Tom Brignell, Gareth Jones, Diane Richardson, Nik Sindle Editor: Simon WattsImage: CJ Gunther / EPA-EFE / REX / ShutterstockGot a question or a comment?

Listen to today's podcast... The alarm clock goes off, but you would rather roll over and continue sleeping. You get up, look in the mirror and you feel dumpy and grumpy. You go to the cupboard and instead of something healthy, you pull out one of those sugar cereals. You are not sure what is happening, but there are days when life is definitely more of a challenge. Reportedly 65% of us notice a difference in our mood and energy in the fall and winter. These people may be fighting the winter blues. This decrease in mood and energy colours the way in which we handle the other areas of our life that compete for our energy and attention. Research into the direct causes of the winter blues is ongoing. However, the more severe form, called Seasonal Affective Disorder, is thought to be related to seasonal variations in light which negatively impact the production of neurotransmitters and hormones that affect our sleep, mood and appetite. The winter blues are usually characterized by varying degrees of sadness, anxiety and energy. Winter blues differ from SAD in that the symptoms do not last as long and do not interfere significantly with everyday living. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Tips For Building Resiliency Against Seasonal Affective Disorders: Increase your exposure to light. Spend at least 20 minutes twice a day. Arrange your indoor environment so that it receives more natural light. Install full spectrum lights. By increasing your exposure to light and monitoring your diet, sleep patterns and exercise levels you will be able to maintain your health, increase your energy and combat the winter blues.

This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter. Enjoy! Does it feel like you hit a certain birthday with a zero and everyone started yelling at you about chicken breast and dumbbells? For this last episode of MID for Season 5, we wanted to ask someone smart to tell us exactly why that is. And so we found a woman called Louisa Nicola, an Australian neurophysiologist and human performance coach based in the US - and got her to tell us - what's important in the space of midlife health, and what's just noise.And what she tells us about the three things to prioritise to live better longer is a surprise.

NADAR'S BALLOON AND THE BIRTH OF PHOTOGRAPHY Colleague Anika Burgess, Flashes of Brilliance. In 1863, the photographer Nadar undertook a perilous ascent in a giant balloon to fund experiments for heavier-than-air flight, illustrating the adventurous spirit required of early photographers. This era began with Daguerre's 1839 introduction of the daguerreotype, a process involving highly dangerous chemicals like mercury and iodine to create unique, mirror-like images on copper plates. Pioneers risked their lives using explosive materials to capture reality with unprecedented clarity and permanence. NUMBER 1 1870 siege of the Paris Commune.

You made it through Christmas — and yet the quiet afterward feels heavier than you expected. If you're wondering why grief feels stronger after the holiday ends, you're not alone. In this episode, we continue Mary's story beyond the manger and into ordinary life. The miracle had arrived, but the road ahead was still uncertain. Mary kept walking forward without applause, without relief from responsibility, and without knowing what the future would hold. In this episode, you'll hear: Why grief often intensifies after the holidays end How emotional exhaustion can surface once the "survival mode" wears off Why feeling worse does not mean you're regressing in your grief What Mary's quiet faithfulness teaches grieving moms about the days after Christmas If your heart feels heavier now than it did during the holiday itself, this episode offers reassurance, truth, and permission to rest. Grief Mentor Services ✨ GRIEF MENTOR SESSIONS If your heart feels overwhelmed or you're unsure how to navigate this season of grief, I would be honored to walk with you in a 1:1 Grief Mentor Session — a time of intentional listening, spiritual discernment, and compassionate mentorship to help you understand your grief and take steady steps forward. In each session, I listen carefully to your story and offer personalized guidance, along with simple printables and visual tools designed to meet you right where you are.

Sandra and Rusty get in to a great Monday Night Football Game, where the seemingly ageless Phillip Rivers took on Mr. Irrelevant.

The Asylum is changing. This is an official statement marking the evolution of The Low Meins Asylum Show. What you're hearing now is not an ending it's decay making room for something stronger. We stepped back intentionally, letting old ideas rot so a sharper, darker vision could emerge. To every listener who stayed patient while we rebuilt in silence: this one is for you. The first episode of the new era drops in the new year. Same honesty. Heavier themes. No filler. No mercy. The Asylum isn't gone. It's mutating!

Critics call it "carspreading". In the UK and across Europe, cars are steadily becoming longer, wider and heavier. Consumers clearly like them – a lot. Big cars are seen as practical, safe and stylish, and sales are growing. So, why are some cities determined to clamp down on them and are they right to do so?

Central Pennsylvania on Tuesday got its first taste of winter weather, with between three and five inches of snow. Heavier totals were reported to the north and east of the Harrisburg area. Schools were closed or delayed in many communities with PennDOT crews pressed into service for snow removal. Michael Mullins of northeastern PA died from ALS in 2022. His son, state Rep. Kyle Mullins was motivated by the loss to fight for funding for neurodegenerative disease research. Mullins has helped secure 5 million dollars in the state budget to study diseases like ALS, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Educators in the region and all over the country are facing a growing challenge-figuring out when a student actually did the work or outsourced it to Artificial Intelligence. According to a local researcher, teachers should be careful before making an accusation. US Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania will have his work cut out for him if he decides to seek a second term in 2026. A poll commissioned by RealClear Pennsylvania shows Fetterman with a 31 percent approval rating among registered Democrats, compared to 57 percent from Republicans and 30 percent from independents. After decades of talk and planning, groundbreaking has finally taken place on a major redevelopment project in the city of Pittsburgh. The Esplanade is a 740-million-dollar project to transform 15 acres of brownfields on the city’s north side on the banks of the Ohio River.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I'm sharing the first two lessons I learned in 2025 — the ones that shifted how I lead, how I rest, and how I protect the things that matter. These are simple but they're powerful, and honestly, they changed how my clients moved through their year too. If success has been feeling heavier than it should… these two lessons are exactly where I'd start.

A video of ours recently went viral showing husbands sitting in their cars after work, and it sparked a huge conversation, why do some men need these few minutes before coming inside? Sometimes home can feel heavier than work, and that moment in the car gives a pause to transition from stress to family life. In this episode, we dive into how wives, and husbands, can create a peaceful, positive home environment that encourages connection, calm, and intimacy. We also discuss how the opposite, tension, chaos, or negativity, can make that pause even longer or more stressful.The best part? These strategies aren't complicated! With small, intentional actions, your home can feel more peaceful, unified, and welcoming, making it easier for both spouses to connect, decompress, and enjoy each other's company.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.
