Welcome to another can't-miss episode of Build a Better Agency! Drew McLellan is joined by Rita Ainsworth, a media buyer turned nervous system coach who works with agency people and performance marketers to help them recognize and reverse the slide toward burnout prevention before it costs them their health or their team. In this episode, Ainsworth breaks down why performance doesn't actually drop during high stress, it only craters once you cross into true burnout, and why that makes burnout so easy to miss until it's severe. You'll learn the subtle early warning signs your body sends long before things get loud, from difficulty switching off after work to a creeping sense of irritability and disengagement. If you've ever wondered why your smartest, hardest working team members seem to run themselves into the ground, this conversation explains the nervous system science behind it. Ainsworth and Drew dig into why high performers often don't feel safe when they slow down, and how that belief gets wired in long before anyone ever takes a client call. They cover practical, in-the-moment tools like orienting, breathwork, and a simple eye pressure technique that can shift your nervous system state in under a minute, plus the supplements that help replenish what chronic stress depletes. Whether you're an agency owner quietly running on fumes, a leader trying to build a healthier culture for your team, or someone who just wants to perform at a high level without burning out doing it, this episode gives you real, usable tools.

He breaks down why he chose to stay with the franchise instead of going independent, how he generated 108 new Google reviews in a single year, why business networking became his highest ROI marketing channel, and what he has had to unlearn as a perfectionist to think like a business owner.

How do you build a culture where people genuinely want to contribute? In Episode 261 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Vered Kogan speaks with Adrian Gostick, leadership expert, executive coach, and New York Times bestselling author, about what great leaders do differently to build cultures where people feel valued, engaged, and motivated to do their best work. Drawing on decades of research, Adrian explains why creating a high-performing culture is about far more than setting a vision. It requires giving people a voice, treating them as partners, communicating consistently, and recognizing their contributions along the way. In this conversation, you'll learn: How treating employees as partners strengthens commitment and trust Why a compelling "why" matters before asking people to change How to create buy in when you don't have all the answers To learn more about Adrian's work, visit AdrianGostick.com or connect with him on LinkedIn.

High-performing lawyers are drowning in billable hours, perfectionism, and constant interruptions—but it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, you'll learn practical strategies to delegate better, protect your time, and manage stress so you can build a sustainable practice without burning out.   In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ellen Cohen discuss: Transition from in-house entertainment lawyer to leadership coach Biggest stressors and billable-hour pressure in modern law practice Delegation myths and the real cost of “it's easier if I do it myself” Time management, prioritization, and managing interruptions Perfectionism, neuroscience of stress, and practical self-care habits   Key Takeaways: Treating every task as equally urgent and important is a fast track to burnout; you must distinguish between high-value, urgent work and tasks that can be delegated or delayed. The mindset of “it's easier if I do it myself” hides a massive hidden cost in lost billable hours, lost growth, and lost personal time. Truly effective delegation requires training others, tolerating imperfection in the short term, and focusing your time on work that matches your highest value and rate. Perfectionism may look professional on the surface, but it often comes from self-limiting beliefs and dramatically slows productivity while increasing stress and risk of burnout. Chronic stress pushes you into fight-or-flight, which makes clear thinking neurologically harder and raises the risk of malpractice—regular breaks, movement, and joy-producing activities are therefore performance tools, not luxuries.   "When you're stressed out, when you're in fight or flight, when you're in your sympathetic nervous system, you actually cannot neurologically think clearly, and it elevates your risk of malpractice, making mistakes, errors, reactivity, emotional responses that are not in line. You cannot work as efficiently." —  Ellen Cohen   Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.   Join the Be That Lawyer Community and connect with ambitious lawyers who are serious about growing their book of business, strengthening their brand, and becoming confident, consistent rainmakers.   Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Your body is not broken. However, some methods you've relied on in the past may be mismatched for this season of life. In this episode, Louise Valentine, a multi-award-winning women's integrative health practitioner and exercise physiologist, talks to midlife female runners who feel like their energy, hormones, body composition, sleep, and performance are changing faster than they expected.Louise explains why perimenopause makes stress harder for the female body to handle and why more miles, harder workouts, or quick fixes do not solve the real problem or address root causes of what's changing in our body. Instead of blaming our body, she points to the need for female-specific training, better fueling, nervous system support, and smarter strength work designed for runners.She also shares her own experience with burnout, anxiety, social media habits, and learning how to slow down without losing her high-performing edge. Listeners will hear why cortisol, sleep, connection with those we love, recovery, and self-love all matter to build our best long-term health, optimal hormones, resilience and joy-filled performance as we age.This episode is a reminder that women can age stronger, run well, feel vibrant, and protect their hormones without overcomplicating the process.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn more & apply to join our new Podcast Insiders membership here: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/podcastinsidersLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.comLearn, laugh & level up with a Breaking Through Wellness masterclass here.Check out my FullScript here where you can see my curated favorite supplement picks, by topic, to address your concerns & save 25% off!  A small portion of EACH sale goes back to support BTW.  Thank you!Take advantage of our podcast listener discount & save 20% off Kion's science-backed clean products.

If you are a high-achieving woman who has always found a way — who has strategized, optimized, and pushed through every obstacle — and you are hitting a wall that none of those tools can move, this episode is for you. Manon de Veritch and Dr. Pat Baccili explore one of the most counter-cultural truths of midlife transformation: that the mind that got you here cannot get you there. That burnout, overwhelm, and emotional breakdown are not signs of failure — they are the threshold. And the only way through is surrender. Manon shares her own story of complete collapse — newly divorced, in lockdown, stripped of every distraction — and what cracked open in the wreckage. Together, they explore why the ego keeps high performers trapped in the known, why the body escalates when we refuse to listen, and what becomes possible when we finally stop directing and start receiving. This is not a conversation about giving up. It is a conversation about letting go — and why that is the most powerful thing a woman can do.

I want to share something nobody in the online Christian business coaching world is actually saying right now. You're showing up, posting, and praying - but you're still stuck. Today I'm telling you what's actually going on.What you'll learn in this episode: — How I hit $1M in 2023 and then spent all of 2024 completely frozen, and what a bad launch triggered in me that I never saw coming. — Why as a Christian online business owner you don't have a sales problem, you have a fullness problem rooted in 2 Peter 1:5-7. — The mistake Holy Spirit-led online entrepreneurs keep making when sales are inconsistent, and why adding more strategy on top of a broken foundation will never fix it. — Why comparing your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 10 is silently destroying your ability to grow a faith-based online coaching business.GET STARTED TODAYGet free access to The Biblical Sales FixREAD THE BLOG 269.

Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode, I focused on the powerful, often personal journey of growth that comes with running your own business, navigating challenges, and prioritizing mindset work. One of the biggest things to come from this episode is the importance of seek support, both through coaching and community, as well as the discipline required to work on yourself even when it feels uncomfortable. I explore the struggle many high achieving women face with feeling the need to constantly prove their worth whether in business, relationships, or to themselves and the exhaustion that comes from always trying to convince others of the value they bring. Listeners are invited behind the scenes into real, raw moments of doubt, breakthrough, and celebration, all framed by my honest perspective on how separating personal identity from business can lead to deeper self trust, acceptance, and ultimately, success. Tune in for insight, practical tools, and a reminder of the transformative power of staying committed to growth. Key Takeaways: Seeking support is not a weakness it's essential. No matter how experienced you are, having someone to guide and hold space for you is invaluable. Even coaches need coaches. Mindset is everything. 80% of your results come from your mindset and only 20% from your actions. You don't have to prove your worth. Business (and career) can't be a constant journey of convincing others of your value. Trust your work, stand in your leadership, and let self belief be enough.

Most busy men are not bad at their jobs. They are bad at managing themselves within their day. They scramble. They context-switch. They start ten things and finish none of them. And then they wonder why they feel exhausted but unproductive. In this episode, I share the exact structure I gave to a new client — a very successful, very busy man who was still caught in chaos, working late, and taking the stress home. Two frameworks. One for the morning. One for the working day. Both built to give you back control. Inside this episode: •Why the default for most men is always to slip back into chaos •The morning routine as your highest-leverage task — responsible for 80-90% of the success that follows •The Pace Boat concept: why you need to get ahead of life before it drags you under •How to structure your working day into three zones: Growth, Build, and Operations •What Kill Zones are — deep work sessions where you focus on one major task with zero distraction •Why doing your £1,000-an-hour jobs in the morning, when your energy is highest, changes everything •How to use 15-minute breaks between zones to reset and stay sharp •Why journaling your day is the difference between guessing and actually improving •How to start small: two kill zones between 9 and 12:30, practiced for two to three weeks Structure is not a restriction. It is how you get your life back.

Something went wrong for one of my clients this week. A major curveball. Real consequences. And his first instinct — like most men — was to catastrophise, panic, and spiral into worst-case thinking. This episode is built around that conversation. Because how you respond when things go wrong is one of the most important skills you will ever develop as a man. Inside this episode: •What a microtrauma is — and why high-performing men are more vulnerable to them than they think •Why your brain is hardwired to scan for threats and worst-case scenarios — and how to override it •The difference between responding and reacting when you are highly emotional •How I helped my client shift from seeing a threat to seeing an opportunity in the same situation •Why "it doesn't happen to you, it happens for you" is not just a quote — it is a way of operating •How COVID closing my bootcamp overnight became the best thing that ever happened to my business •Why men fall into the pity cycle — and how to break out of it •The boiler story: why perspective is everything when life throws a speed bump •Why having a mentor in your corner changes the way you handle pressure Life is full of speed bumps. The growth is not in avoiding them. It is in how you handle them. Take stock. Take a breath. Find the opportunity in the threat.

In this video we break down everything a first time franchise buyer needs to know before making one of the biggest financial decisions of their life. We cover why the SBA considers franchising the lowest risk path for first time business owners, what it actually means to buy into a proven system and playbook, how franchisees benefit from national marketing funds and collective buying power, why securing an SBA loan is often easier for franchise buyers than independent business owners, and what the long term commitment of a franchise agreement really looks like on the other side. We also get honest about the downsides including the lack of creative control, the ongoing fees, and what it means to be dependent on a franchisor for major business decisions.

The speakers discuss the competitive nature of finding quality resales, noting that prime locations are often acquired by private equity firms or existing franchisees before reaching the open market. While resales offer benefits like established revenue and existing staff, they also present challenges such as poor community reputation, high premiums for profitable units, and difficulty securing SBA financing for businesses that are losing money. Ultimately, the video emphasizes the importance of thorough due diligence, including examining financials and online reviews, and being prepared to act quickly when a desirable opportunity arises.------------------Considering Investing In A Franchise?

You know something is wrong with your team. Maybe it's the missed deadlines that have become the norm. The low energy in meetings. The friction nobody's naming. The high performer who's gone quiet. Or just a general flatness — a team that's functional but nowhere near what you know it could be. In this episode of Leading Women in Tech, Toni Collis gives you the honest, practical framework for turning a struggling team around — including the part most leadership advice skips: the leader's own role in the system. What's covered: ➡️The four types of team struggle — and why getting the diagnosis right before you act is the most important thing you can do. The wrong solution applied with confidence makes things worse. ➡️The over-functioning trap — why managing around a problem signals to your whole team that the problem is acceptable, and what it's costing your best people right now ➡️Why your team is not where you are — the emotional and informational gap between you and your team, and why moving at your pace without accounting for theirs leaves people behind ➡️The three conversations you've been avoiding — performance, expectations, and recognition — and why the difference between a team that stays stuck and one that turns around is almost always the conversations the leader wasn't having ➡️How to retain your high performers when the team is struggling — because they're always the first to leave, and they always have options ➡️The honest question about your own leadership — and why understanding your role in the system is what makes the rest of this possible ➡️Where to start this week — three specific actions, not twenty Whether you've inherited a struggling team, watched one develop on your watch, or just know things need to change and aren't sure where to start — this episode gives you the framework.

In this episode of the Zero to Profitable Franchise Podcast, we break down the real differences between all three paths — and how to figure out which one is actually right for you. We cover why franchising is often called business school 101 for first-time owners, what the debt service reality looks like when buying an existing business, why the most successful franchise candidates are the ones who can follow a system without reinventing the wheel, and why fear and doubt during the process are not red flags — they are signs you are taking the decision seriously.

If you are a high-achieving woman who has always found a way — who has strategized, optimized, and pushed through every obstacle — and you are hitting a wall that none of those tools can move, this episode is for you. Manon de Veritch and Dr. Pat Baccili explore one of the most counter-cultural truths of midlife transformation: that the mind that got you here cannot get you there. That burnout, overwhelm, and emotional breakdown are not signs of failure — they are the threshold. And the only way through is surrender. Manon shares her own story of complete collapse — newly divorced, in lockdown, stripped of every distraction — and what cracked open in the wreckage. Together, they explore why the ego keeps high performers trapped in the known, why the body escalates when we refuse to listen, and what becomes possible when we finally stop directing and start receiving. This is not a conversation about giving up. It is a conversation about letting go — and why that is the most powerful thing a woman can do.

Hiring offshore staff can transform a law firm, but only if it's done intentionally.   In this episode, Zack Glaser sits down with Raquel Gomes, co-founder and CEO of Stafi, to discuss the most common mistakes law firms make when hiring remote offshore team members. Drawing on her background in psychology and experience supporting hundreds of law firms, Raquel explains why the term "virtual assistant" may be holding firms back and how successful firms build engaged, high-performing remote teams.  Zack and Raquel explore the importance of defining roles before hiring, creating effective vetting processes, building structured onboarding systems, integrating remote staff into firm culture, and continuing to invest in team members after they are hired. They also discuss how law firm owners can move from working in the business to leading the business by building teams they trust.  Listen to our previous episodes on hiring, delegation, leadership, and building stronger law firm teams:  #616: From Solo to CEO: Letting Go of Legal Work to Grow Your Firm, with Ellen Williamson Apple | Spotify | LTN  #615: How to Stop Being the Bottleneck and Build Stronger Teams, with Debbie Foster and Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN  #523: Financial Red Flags: Are You Hiring Too Soon?, with Bernadette Harris Apple | Spotify | LTN    Links from the episode:   https://getstafi.com    Have thoughts about today's episode?

Send us Fan MailLast week, we talked about some of the biggest differences between struggling medical groups and high-performing organizations. We discussed long-term thinking, strategic staffing, operational intelligence, investment philosophy, and diversified revenue streams.And today, we're continuing that conversation — because once organizations begin growing successfully, entirely new challenges emerge. Growth sounds exciting. But growth without infrastructure creates chaos very quickly. And high-performing organizations understand that scaling successfully requires discipline.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Michael F. Kay spent decades as a CPA and financial professional before transitioning into life coaching focused on the emotional and identity side of retirement. In this conversation, he explains the origin of “Chapter X” (solve for X) and why many high-performing men reach retirement without a clear picture of what comes next.Together, Jacquie and Michael unpack the universal fears that show up in retirement—relevance, vitality, identity—and why the solution is never one-size-fits-all. Michael shares practical ways to reclaim curiosity, experiment without pressure, and let go of ego-driven competition that no longer serves you. They also talk about the value of remembering past transitions (your first day at work, your first promotion) as proof you already have the tools to navigate change. Michael describes exercises from his book—including writing a multi-perspective eulogy—to clarify values and live intentionally now. The episode closes with a powerful reminder: retirement is your chance to curate your days around meaning and joy, not “shoulds,” deadlines, or status.Key topics discussed Michael's path: musician → CPA → financial life planner → life coachWhy retirement questions start with: “What does that mean to you?” • The origin of “Chapter X” and the idea of “solve for X”What “X” really is: what gets you out of bed, meaning, purpose, curiosityWhy high-performing men often struggle more with the transitionIdentity beyond the job title: “Who are you when you're no longer your job?”The danger of “waiting to die” and the sadness of purposeless later yearsDepression in seniors and the pull of living in the pastRetirement as a new transition: reclaiming a beginner's mindNo one dies from being uncomfortable: normalizing transition anxietyUnlearning: ego, competition, ladder-climbing, and “should”Go-go / slow-go / no-go stages and using vitality wiselyContribution doesn't have to be big: small acts that lift othersJoy as a filter: if it isn't joyful, don't do itCurating your day: energy, sleep, priorities, and flexibilityThe book's process: progressive exercises + expert chapters (gerontology, psychology, exercise, couples)The eulogy exercise: clarifying values and living them nowAction steps: Define your X: Write down what you want to get out of bed for in this season of life.Try a beginner's mind experiment: Pick one new activity and commit to 3 tries—no pressure to “be good.”Audit your “shoulds”: List the things you do out of obligation; cross out one this week.Recall a past transition: Write about your first day at your first real job—what did you learn about adapting?Create a 2–3 item day: Put only 2–3 priorities on your calendar, leaving space for joy.Connect with Michael: https://michaelfkay.comGrab Michael's book on Amazon

You look like you have it all handled. So why are you so exhausted?Kristen Baird-Goldman is a licensed therapist, ADHD specialist, and author of The CBT Workbook for Adults with ADHD. She has spent more than 15 years working with high-achieving neurodivergent women, and she is the owner and clinical director of the Neurodiversity Care Center in Los Angeles.Diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s, and someone medication never worked for, Kristen has built her practice around the quiet cost of high performance, especially for women moving through perimenopause. She treats ADHD as a whole-body issue, looking at the nervous system, hormones, and functional health instead of one more productivity hack.In this episode, Tracy and Kristen get into why hyperfocus fools you into thinking you are fine, what high performance is actually doing to your brain and body underneath the productivity, and what real recovery looks like. If you have built an identity around doing more and pushing through, this one is your permission slip to stop.Resources:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristen.bairdgoldmanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theadhdguruLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristen-baird-goldman-6178817Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@KristenBaird-GoldmanSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

Karen Doll is a licensed psychologist, author of "Building Psychological Fitness: How High Performers Achieve with Ease," a partner at Psynet Group and chairs the Flourishing at Work initiative under Harvard's Flourishing Program. Most leaders know how to push through stress. Far fewer know how to recover from it. Karen argues that the difference matters more than most people realize. In this conversation, she explains why psychological fitness is not a personality trait but a trainable skill. She breaks down the difference between the stress that helps you grow and the stress that slowly wears you down, why resilience is more about recharging than enduring, and what leaders can do to support mental health at work without trying to become therapists. For leaders who feel constantly on, stretched thin, or responsible for the wellbeing of their teams, this episode offers a practical framework for building resilience that lasts.

It isn't about powering through." "Between the stimulus and the response, there is a space. In that space lies our power to choose." "Defensiveness is the one thing I will not give feedback on. You tell someone they're defensive and they defend themselves. It's a dead end." "The goalpost keeps moving — and people are left feeling it's never enough. That is unnecessary distress." "Those that can spend the time recovering tend to struggle less." "Having social support and a multi-dimensional life — that's probably number one in terms of buffers against stress." "We do all have some agency in how we manage our mental health and how we move towards flourishing." "When something upsets us, sometimes that thinking pattern is not serving us and it's not necessarily factual." "If you move the body, it can settle the mind." "Leaders don't need to be their team's therapist." "Being a victim or having a victim mindset is not going to work out well for anybody — and that's never going to be good for mental health." "Self care is selfish — that was the core belief I had to break." "Small acts of kindness for people who are struggling — think of what a difference that can make. And that's accessible to all of us." "Just being a little more intentional — it doesn't cost anything. It doesn't need budget."

Last week we made the case for why you're not only allowed, but encouraged, to raise your standards for yourself, especially when it comes to your body. This week we build the practice. Because a philosophy you can't live isn't a philosophy, it's just a nice idea or a cute Instagram pist. In this episode, we're getting into what low standards actually look like in daily life. Not the obvious version, but the subtle, sneaky ways they show up disguised as practicality, selflessness, or just being realistic. The patterns that feel completely normal from the inside until someone names them and suddenly you can't unsee them. From there, I'm walking you through a four-step framework for actually raising your standards in real time. Not all at once, not through a dramatic overhaul, but in the specific, sustainable way that makes a new standard stick long enough to become identity. We're also getting into the concrete behaviors the high-standard woman actually lives by: how she trains, how she fuels herself, how she shows up, how she protects her non-negotiables when life gets hard. Not as inspiration, but as a blueprint.   Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?
