You're overperforming because your identity isn't aligned. This episode exposes the pressure behind productivity — and shows why leadership without recalibration will always leave you empty.What if the exhaustion you're feeling isn't because you're not strong enough… but because you're leading from a misaligned identity?In this episode of The Recalibration, we confront the pressure to perform, produce, and polish — and how it fractures the lives of high-capacity humans from the inside out.We'll unpack:– Why high-functioning leaders quietly burn out– How overperformance shows up as image-driven leadership– What performance-first cultures miss about sustainability– How to recalibrate leadership from pressure to presenceWith a deeply personal story, a case study from Angela Ahrendts, and a micro-recalibration that will stop you in your tracks, this episode speaks directly to:– The Burnout Wrapped in Gratitude still pushing forward– The Misaligned Achiever who can't maintain the image anymore– The Internal Success Seeker trying to lead from authenticityToday's Micro Recalibration:“Where in my leadership am I performing — instead of connecting?”Lead from presence, not pressure. Regulate before you respond. Trust identity over intensity.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

We've all heard it: “Nursing is a calling.” It sounds noble, but this romanticized language has a hidden price. It can normalize burnout, justify unsafe staffing, and excuse inadequate pay, all under the guise of dedication. In this eye-opening episode, Melanie Perry, BSN, RN, CNOR, CSSM, challenges the “calling” narrative and makes a case for recognizing nursing as the highly skilled, indispensable profession it truly is, and one that deserves respect, fair compensation, and safe working conditions.   #operatingroom #nurse #nursing #perioperative

Points of Interest00:01 – 00:51 – Introduction: Marcel welcomes Carson Pierce back to the show and introduces the episode's focus on utilization, specifically the hidden costs of low utilization in agencies.01:18 – 01:50 – Why Utilization Matters Now: Marcel notes that many agencies are struggling with overstaffing and underutilization in a difficult market, which compounds hidden costs over time.01:50 – 02:45 – Carson's Perspective on Utilization: Carson explains that agency owners often see only the surface-level financial impact of low utilization, but miss the deeper, unexpected effects it creates.02:45 – 03:26 – Everyday Utilization Analogies: Carson shares real-world examples, like an unused Jeep and moving trucks, to illustrate how underutilized assets quietly drain resources.03:39 – 05:59 – Defining Utilization Clearly: Marcel defines utilization as the percentage of purchased team capacity actually used for revenue-generating client work, clarifying common misconceptions and variations.07:25 – 09:25 – Over-Servicing as a Hidden Cost: Carson highlights how idle team members often fill time by overservicing clients, which distorts expectations, undermines project profitability, and becomes habitual.09:25 – 11:00 – Internal Projects and Incentives: Marcel explains that low utilization often shifts time into internal projects, which can be productive but frequently become unfocused or misaligned with priorities.11:00 – 13:47 – Lost Efficiency Without Pressure: Carson argues that high utilization forces efficiency improvements, whereas low utilization removes urgency, leading to stagnant processes and missed bottleneck discovery.15:55 – 17:46 – Disengagement and Cultural Risks: Carson warns that underutilized employees may feel unproductive, disengage, or eventually leave, while survivors of downsizing can resist returning to higher workload levels.20:08 – 21:34 – Opportunity Cost of Low Utilization: Marcel expands on the long-term financial risks, including reduced profitability, lower enterprise value, depleted cash reserves, and a shift to defensive decision-making.25:23 – 27:35 – Managing Unutilized Time Wisely: Carson advises agencies to be deliberate with excess capacity, setting clear expectations for client over-servicing or internal projects and preparing for busy periods.29:21 – 34:21 – Modeling and Leadership Lessons: Marcel and Carson stress the importance of building a business model to set realistic utilization targets, and Marcel shares candid lessons from Parakeeto's restructuring journey.Show NotesDeep dive on UtilizationUtilization CalculatorBook: The GoalLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

You know that feeling when you hit a milestone in your business and suddenly everything feels different? In this episode, I'm exploring what I call the "vulnerability tax" - the hidden cost of success that makes established coaches close off just when they need openness most. The more success we create, the more we feel we have to lose by admitting we don't have all the answers.   Through my own experiences – like that first $100k year when everything suddenly stopped working – I've learned that the most successful business owners are actually the most open to being wrong. Discover why the vulnerability tax exists and how to break out of the performance cage that's keeping you from the strategic support and authentic connections you need to keep growing.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/252

Climate change is dramatically impacting food production by altering rainfall patterns, increasing temperatures, and triggering more frequent extreme weather events.  These changes make crops more vulnerable to droughts, floods, heatwaves, pests, and diseases, leading to lower yields and greater uncertainty for farmers worldwide. But climate change isn't just reshaping our planet.  It's also changing what's […]

What do Ponzi schemes, emotional spending, and IKEA shopping trips have in common? More than you think. In this Talkin' Money Unfiltered conversation, I sit down with financial therapist Rachel Duncan to explore the wild history of Charles Ponzi, why scams like Bernie Madoff's still happen today, and how “easy money” myths lure even the savviest investors. We also get personal about the emotional side of money—FOMO spending, consumerism as a hobby, and why it feels so intimate (and brave) to finally talk about money with friends. You'll walk away learning: Why Ponzi schemes are built on trust, community ties, and the promise of high returns Red flags to watch for when evaluating an investment opportunity How FOMO spending silently taxes your wallet and relationships Why patience—not quick wins—is the real path to financial security How talking openly about money can actually deepen friendships and relieve financial shame Listen to the podcasts we talked about: Easy Money: The Charles Ponzi Story Debt Heads Whether you've ever wondered how smart people get caught in scams, or you just want to feel less alone about your own money choices, this episode is a must-listen.

A casual conversation at a party turned into a reality check about what we're really seeing on social media. When a corporate friend shared her fantasy of living like a creator—with 10am workouts and flexible meal prep—it exposed the dangerous assumptions we make from curated glimpses into other people's lives. In this episode we dive into:• Why we're failing people by not giving enough context behind our highlight reels• The mental trade-offs that successful entrepreneurs and influencers never show you• How to ask better questions that actually help you evaluate what you want• The hidden story behind fitness transformations and "effortless" routinesThe Reality Behind the Highlight Reel• That 9am workout comes with 9pm laptop sessions and mental load that doesn't clock out• The "glamorous flexibility" often means delayed payments, inconsistent income, and founder anxiety• Corporate benefits and steady paychecks provide security that entrepreneurial freedom can't match• The mundane Monday moments actually build the colorful life everyone envies onlineBreaking Down the Comparison Trap• Before and after photos don't show the skipped events, early mornings, and social sacrifices• That lean, toned physique took 15 years of lifting before switching to Pilates-only• The "effortless" routine required saying no to half of their social events every month• What looks like endless free time is actually carefully managed efficiency and boundary-settingReframing Your Success Story• The better question isn't "What would it look like if I had their life?" but "Do I want their trade-offs?"• Steady paychecks versus Wednesday afternoon meal prep flexibility—both have costs• Six social invitations monthly but only attending three to maintain morning workout consistency• Understanding your actual priorities helps you stop chasing someone else's version of successThis conversation reminds us that social media functions like a movie—you only see the scenes the director wants you to see. Whether you're building a business feeling behind because of what you observe online or scrolling as a consumer making assumptions about creator lifestyles, this episode offers the perspective shift to actually like your life a whole lot more.Instagram:⁠@thekrystahuber⁠⁠@thefyx.officialpod⁠⁠@thefitnessfyx⁠APPLY FOR 1:1 COACHING WITH THE FITNESS FYX⁠

In the Trenches: The Journey of Robert Gallery from College Star to NFL Standout Join Marcus and Melanie as they welcome Robert Gallery, former NFL offensive lineman, College Football Hall of Famer, and one of the most celebrated athletes to come out of the University of Iowa. Robert's football journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Starting as a tight end at Iowa, he transitioned to offensive tackle, paving the way for a stellar collegiate career. A two-time First-Team All-Big Ten selection, Robert was named Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2003 and capped off his senior year with unanimous All-American honors and the prestigious Outland Trophy. His excellence extended off the field, earning him three Academic All-Big Ten awards. In recognition of his remarkable contributions to the sport, Robert has been honored with multiple accolades: College Football Hall of Fame: Inducted in 2023 at the 65th NFF Annual Awards Dinner. University of Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame: Inducted in 2017. Kinnick Wall of Honor: Added to Iowa's America Needs Farmers Wall of Honor in 2015. Drafted second overall by the Oakland Raiders in the 2004 NFL Draft, Robert embarked on an eight-season career in the NFL, playing for the Raiders and Seattle Seahawks. Over 104 games, he showcased his grit and leadership, earning the Ed Block Courage Award in 2010 and cementing his place as a force on the offensive line. In this episode, Robert reflects on his incredible football career, the transformation of Iowa's football program, and his experiences in the NFL. But the conversation goes deeper, exploring his journey after football and the life-changing healing he found through ibogaine. For both Marcus and Robert, ibogaine offered a second chance—a path to healing they're now sharing to inspire and support others who may feel lost or stuck. These raw, personal stories are a testament to resilience and the universal power of hope. Tune in for an inspiring episode filled with life lessons, healing journeys, and a reminder that no matter the challenge, transformation is always possible. In This Episode You Will Hear: • My parents were very much like: “You do sports, or you work on the farm.” (9:55) • Once my siblings started earning scholarships, and I saw what it did for them, I was like “I wanna do that.” (11:17) • [The coaching staff] were just guys that wanted to get the best out of you. They were there to make you better. (14:25) • [Melanie] Q: What do you think builds a great team?  A: I think it's the people and the culture. (15:55) • It's that Midwest mentality. Work ethic, no show boating. It's about being the best you can be, doing it the right way, and being good people. (17:02) • I knew I needed my buddies next to me on the offensive line. For me to be great, I needed them to be great. (17:57) • I kept working and working. And by the end of my college career, I was the best there was in the country. (25:34) • Continue to work at wat you do to be a better all-around athlete. (25:39) • I love how I was raised. My parents still married after 50 years. (26:57) • I never had a sporting event that I ever remember from as young as I was in grade school, that one of my parents was not there. (36:37) •  I worked so hard and sweated so much that you gotta go to the bathroom. One day I had to go to the bathroom real bad and the game was about to start. The only thing I could do was sit here and go. Go in your pants. I did it every game after that. (47:51) • I got to where now I'm taking pain killers to get to practice. Now I'm asking my linemen what do we do? I'm dizzy. I'm not myself. (55:08) • As time went on, things started to spiral: alcohol abuse. (63:00) • I got a brain scan.

One of the toughest parts of running a coworking space is managing people. What do you do when your community manager—or any team member—isn't living up to expectations? Do you settle, or is it time to make a transition?

How to evaluate whether the problem is training and leadership—or true misalignment. Why “settling” for a mediocre fit costs more than you think.

I'm your host, Kevin DeGroot, and today I'm joined by my amazing wife, Hannah DeGroot. Together, we're tackling a topic that hits close to home for just about everyone.

Most of us worry about what others think of us. While this is probably a useful survival instinct, it can also turn into a kind of neurotic rumination, leading us to prioritize people-pleasing over our own needs. Why we do this, and how we can move past it, is the topic of the new book Are You Mad at Me?: How to Stop Focusing on What Others Think and Start Living for You by psychotherapist Meg Josephson.

The Human Intimacy Podcast #80: The Hidden Cost of Secrets in Relationships In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis, LCSW, unpack the complex world of secrecy in relationships—why we keep secrets, what it does to us internally, and how it affects intimacy with our partners. They explore the hidden weight of secrecy and self-deception, showing how carrying secrets impacts not only relationships but also personal health, emotional well-being, and even the body. The conversation highlights: The psychology of secrecy — why people hide, lie, or deceive in the name of "protection." The toll on the body and mind — from anxiety and ulcers to exhaustion and emotional distance. The role of shame and fear — how vulnerability and the fear of rejection fuel secrecy. The ripple effects on intimacy — why hiding erodes trust and connection over time. Steps toward healing — the importance of accountability, support networks, and learning to share in safe, structured ways. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn also discuss research insights (Pennebaker, Levine, Carnes, Lemke, Brown) and real-world examples, weaving in practical tools for couples and individuals navigating the painful terrain of secrecy and betrayal. Listeners will leave with a deeper understanding of why secrecy is so destructive—and hopeful strategies for stepping into authenticity, vulnerability, and healthier intimacy.

Some books come out easily. They seem to flow from our brains to the page without much fuss. And some books… Well, some books are finicky and require all sorts of pivots, enduring false starts, and otherwise feeling less story stability while you work. When you have one of those trickier books, your ability to continue showing up to the page despite a less-than-ideal process (rather than getting frustrated and avoiding the book altogether) makes a big difference in both how quickly the book comes together and how much you enjoy the process. Today on the podcast, I'm breaking down how I manage to bring a sense of fun and play to stubborn projects and explore some of the less-obvious costs we pay when we avoid our books.

Ever found yourself so mentally drained at the end of a workday that you can't even decide what to eat for dinner? That's decision fatigue in action – a leadership challenge that silently erodes effectiveness and energy.During our candid conversation, we dive deep into why so many leaders hit this mental wall and the surprising ways they often create their own exhaustion. When leaders make decisions that should rightfully belong to their team members, they not only overburden themselves but also stunt their team's growth. We unpack how "reverse delegation" happens when staff members push decisions upward, and how leaders unwittingly encourage this by second-guessing or overriding the decisions their people do make.The solution begins with a simple but powerful exercise: tracking every decision you make for a week. This decision inventory reveals which choices could easily be delegated and which team members might be consistently avoiding decision responsibility. We share practical strategies for setting proper boundaries, truly releasing control (not just pretending to), and distinguishing between decisions that genuinely require your attention versus those that don't.Leaders often misinterpret servant leadership as making all decisions for their team when true servant leadership means developing others' decision-making muscles. By properly analyzing what's driving your decision fatigue and taking specific actions to address it, you can reclaim your mental energy while simultaneously developing a more capable, confident team.Ready to break free from the exhaustion of making everyone else's decisions? Listen now to discover how to put decisions back where they belong and focus your leadership energy where it matters most.

Urgency is the sneaky thief that convinces high-achievers they're productive while quietly stealing their joy, energy, and the luxury of truly living.   Corinne Morahan is joined by her friend and COO of her company, Briggs Rolfsrud, for a conversation about how urgency creeps into our lives and disrupts our ability to feel successful, present, and fulfilled. They discuss why high-achieving women often fall into a relentless cycle of “getting things done,” even when they have the resources to delegate and create ease. Corinne shares how this constant urgency becomes a default setting for many of her clients, while Briggs brings her perspective on why learning to turn urgency on and off is essential for a life that feels both productive and joyful.   Together, they unpack how external pressures to achieve often morph into self-imposed expectations that no longer serve us. Through stories about missing meaningful family moments and ignoring life's simplest joys, Corinne and Briggs reveal how urgency robs us of deeper impact, thoughtful work, and true satisfaction. The conversation leads to a redefinition of luxury, not as material flexes, but as the freedom to choose how we spend our time and energy. With strategies to help listeners break free from urgency, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim their life, realign their priorities, and experience success on their own terms.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Welcoming Briggs Rolfsrud 01:01 The Hidden Cost of Urgency 02:17 Briggs on Finding Balance with Urgency 06:06 Why Outsourcing Doesn't Solve the Urgency Trap 10:10 Building Self-Trust to Release Urgency 12:02 How Urgency Diminishes Impact and Quality 14:30 Redefining Success Beyond Constant Productivity 21:16 What It Really Means to Live a Luxury Life 23:06 Actionable Steps to Break Free from Urgency 27:22 Invitation to the Glam Life Experience   Links If you're ready to make bold moves, join me in the Glam Life Experience starting TODAY!

In this episode of Building the Billion Dollar Business, Ray Sclafani dives into one of the most overlooked dangers facing advisory firms today: haphazard growth. While expanding your team, client base, and offerings may look like success on the surface, growth without intention can breed operational chaos, erode client trust, and reduce long-term enterprise value. Ray outlines the difference between reactive expansion and purposeful scaling, and offers a five-part blueprint for building a sustainable growth strategy that creates real client impact.Listeners will walk away with a sharper understanding of how to reframe growth as a client-centered initiative, not just a business metric. Plus, Ray offers three powerful coaching questions to assess your firm's current trajectory and uncover whether your growth is building trust—or just making noise.Key TakeawaysScaling without value creation can lead to insolvency, not increased enterprise worth.Haphazard growth is reactive, adding services or people without clarity or alignment.Intentional growth begins with segmentation: know who you're built to serve best.Understand what your team can handle before quality slips.Develop clear hiring, career paths, and retention strategies.Communicate growth clearly so clients know how it benefits them directly.Firms that win will be the most intentional, not necessarily the largest.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

Welcome to the first episode in a five-part series on self-silencing and its profound effect on women's health. I'm Dr. Brendan McCarthy, Chief Medical Officer at Protea Medical Center, and in this episode, I break down how self-silencing — the learned suppression of one's needs, emotions, and voice — directly influences weight gain, hormone disruption, autoimmunity, cardiovascular risk, and more. This is a deeply personal and evidence-backed conversation rooted in decades of clinical experience and medical research. I discuss real patient patterns, the emotional layers behind common health complaints, and why this silent epidemic deserves more space in medicine. If you or someone you love has ever struggled with feeling unheard, unseen, or overwhelmed by caretaking roles, this is for you.   Citations: 13] Jakubowski, K.

Social media platforms are designed to hijack our brain's reward system, keeping us hooked through endless dopamine hits. This constant stimulation fragments our attention, reshapes our behavior, and can lead to burnout, anxiety, and even addiction—especially in developing brains. The more we scroll, the more we crave quick hits of novelty, making it harder to tolerate boredom or engage in deeper, more meaningful tasks. And while adults may struggle, kids are even more vulnerable, facing emotional dysregulation and long-term brain changes. The good news? Awareness is the first step toward reclaiming agency and creating healthier boundaries in a world built for distraction.

In this strategic episode of the Schools of Excellence podcast, Chanie Wilschanski sits down with longtime industry expert Kathy Ligon, founder of Hinge Advisors and the BOOST nonprofit initiative, to unpack what it truly takes to lead a financially sustainable school—without compromising your mission.Together, they explore how school leaders can align mission, metrics, and money, and why profit isn't the opposite of purpose—it's what makes your vision possible. If you've ever felt the pressure of payroll, struggled with discounting, or wondered how to strengthen your school operations for long-term sustainability, this conversation offers clarity, structure, and relief.What You'll LearnWhy profit fuels purpose—and how financial clarity protects your missionThe five profit pillars: occupancy, tuition pricing, discount strategy, staffing efficiency, and facilities costHow to identify and eliminate hidden financial leaksStrategies to improve staffing efficiency while increasing staff retentionWhat sustainable leadership looks like across economic cyclesKey Insights and Takeaways1. Purpose Without Profit Is Unsustainable You can't serve your students, support your staff, or lead with confidence if you're losing sleep over cash flow. Financial health gives school leaders the peace of mind and capacity to lead with intention.2. Know Your Five Financial Pillars Occupancy, tuition rates, and discounting drive your revenue. Staffing and facility costs are your biggest expenses. These five pillars account for 95% of your financial outcomes. Some need daily attention—others should be reviewed quarterly.3. The Hidden Cost of Discounting Discounts often erode margins silently. Track full tuition versus actual collected revenue to see what you're really “giving away.” Strategically revisit all discounts—except staff discounts—to reclaim margin and reinforce your school's value.4. Smarter Staffing, Not Cheaper Staffing Reducing staffing costs doesn't mean reducing quality. Build a school culture where staff finish strong—even when ratios drop. Instead of cutting pay, optimize hours and clarify expectations. Retention is more cost-effective than constant turnover.5. Resilience Comes from Readiness After four decades in the industry, Kathy emphasizes that school leaders who adapt quickly—and build financial buffers—are the ones who sustain growth through any season.From public pre-K expansion to economic downturns, having systems that can pivot is non-negotiable.Tools and Action StepsBenchmark Your Financials Use Hinge's free Benchmarking Tool to evaluate tuition, occupancy, and staffing costs frameworkbyhinge.comAudit Your Discount Strategy Update billing systems to track full tuition vs. discounted tuition separately Evaluate where your pricing may be undermining your perceived valueCheck Your Staffing Rhythms Explore opportunities to close early or adjust shifts based on ratios Ensure your team is equipped to support those decisionsQuarterly Financial Review Schedule time each quarter to evaluate the five pillars Use data to guide decisions, not gut reactionsQuote to Remember “There is no possible way for you to provide the purpose or mission… without the money or the profit— they are absolutely necessary for each other.” — Kathy...
