Relationships can take us places money never will.In this episode, we sit down with Julia Lashay and Emerick Peace for a powerful conversation on networking, proximity, and the people who shape our trajectory. We unpack why most challenges aren't money problems at all, but relationship problems, and how access, opportunity, and credibility are built through trust and contribution.We explore the difference between knowing people and being known, why third-party validation matters more than self-promotion, and how value isn't transactional. From bringing energy into a room to following up with intention, this episode reframes networking as service, not collection.Emerick also shares how mentorship, discernment, and choosing the right environments have shaped his journey, along with the hard truth that not everyone in your circle is meant to stay. If you're building a business, career, or life that can withstand adversity, this conversation will challenge how you think about relationships and the rooms you choose to enter.We talk about:[00:00] Introduction[01:28] People Will Take You Places Money Can't[03:59] Third-Party Validation Creates Opportunity[04:57] Who You Know vs. Who Knows YOU.[06:33] How Do You Find Spaces to Network In?[08:18] The Simple Question Nobody Asks[13:50] Networking Is More Than Getting Contacts[16:38] How One Relationship Can Change Your Entire Business[25:52] Is Your Circle Elevating You or Holding You Back?Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more about NAREB (National Association of Real Estate Brokers)Read books by Dr. George C.

Ever feel like your anxiety or fear of failure is just... who you are?The perfectionism. The overthinking. The constant pressure to “get it right.”It can feel like it's wired into your DNA.But what if it isn't?Dr Rod Irwin, vet, former clinic owner and author tells us how who went from panic attacks in an empty vet clinic to a completely rewired life - thanks to neuroscience.After hitting breaking point, a chance encounter with neuroscience set him on a 15-year journey into neuroplasticity and positive psychology - and ultimately changed how he led.Together, we unpack how our brains are shaped by past experiences, why vets are particularly vulnerable to negative belief loops, and how we can deliberately rewire our thinking to reduce anxiety, improve performance and build healthier workplace cultures.We explore:Why early experiences like bullying and perfectionism hardwire us for burnoutWhat neuroplasticity actually means, and why this isn't just “positive thinking”How emotions strengthen or weaken your neural pathwaysDr Irwin's first 3 practical steps to start rewiring your brainWhy your identity is the key to lasting changeHow clinic leaders unconsciously set the emotional tone for the entire teamAnd how reconnecting to purpose and values can transform your cultureThis is a science-backed, practical conversation on mindset, leadership and wellbeing – tailored to the veterinary world.Because your brain isn't broken.It's just wired by experience - and you can change the wiring.⁠⁠Find out how we can support you in your vet career at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevetvault.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠Subscribe to our weekly newsletter⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠for Hubert's favourite clinical and non-clinical learnings from the week.Grab one last handful of spots in the Maldives for our surf/dive vet conference with Vets On Tour⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

But if you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and still feeling behind, this episode gives language to what you're carrying. The issue isn't motivation—it's overload.   This isn't just about doing less to recover; it's about choosing what truly matters. Growth comes from intentionally letting go of roles and habits that drain you, not from pushing yourself harder.   For 2026, remember: breakthrough won't come from new planners, tighter schedules, or more hustle. It will come from releasing what no longer serves you and making room for what matters most.   Timestamps: (01:00) - Why Some Goals Need to Be Quit (04:13) - Letting Go of the Need to Prove Yourself (06:31) - Why Being Available to Everyone Is Costing You Everything (08:13) - Quitting Emotional Over-Functioning for Other People (09:46) - Stop Shrinking Yourself in Rooms You're Meant to Grow In (11:24) - Practical Action Steps for Quitting What's Holding You Back in 2026   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE Links to great things we discussed:    Wise Woman Method - Join Alli's Substack Catalyst Mastermind Alli's Makeup Recommendation - REVLON ColorStay Multiplayer Liquid-Glide Eye Pencil Start your Free 30-day trial of Uplift!

In this episode of Fuel Your Drive, I break down why there is no such thing as an unrealistic goal—and how thinking “realistically” is one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck. I share why you need big, hairy, audacious goals, how surrounding yourself with the wrong people can quietly limit your vision, and why belief, visualization, and long-term thinking are non-negotiable if you want to do something truly great. Some goals may take 10, 15, even 20 years—and that's exactly the point. You don't always need to know how you'll get there, but you do need to believe it's possible. What you think about, you become—and if you want bigger results, you have to start thinking bigger right now.

In this episode, Jeff Janczak, President of Incus5, explains why fragmented systems, siloed telematics, and “more tools” often create more problems instead of clarity. Jeff shares how a device-agnostic, less-is-more approach to data helps rental companies improve customer retention, reduce costs, and prepare for a future where AI plays a much bigger operational role.The conversation covers why simplifying tech stacks matters, how AI is already being used in rental workflows, and where the real value is shifting as telematics hardware becomes commoditized.

Every journey has its obstacles. But what, specifically, is holding you back? Sometimes it’s unconfessed sin, hidden bitterness, divided loyalties, delayed obedience, or broken relationships. Maybe you’re violating your soul and sacred relationships through pornography, and you wonder why you’re not moving forward. Yet not every roadblock is caused by unresolved sin. Even when you’re faithful, sometimes God places “hindrances” in your path which are not detours, but serve to accomplish His divine will. The latter was so with the Apostle Paul (Rom. 15:22-29). Knowing this, let us be wise to discern what’s holding us in check — our sin or God’s greater purpose. Sermon: https://churchandfamilylife.com/sermons/695b542611cff32e9efacef4

Do you feel like you're constantly walking a tightrope – high up, with the spotlight on you, and no net? That's how many people, including senior executives, describe their experience at work – and what led Devon McConnell, an executive coach and psychotherapist, to explore what drives that stress and burnout. In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth speaks with Devon about her research and coaching work examining how key relationships at work – especially with our boss – shape stress, burnout, and performance. They discuss what individuals and organizations can do to better navigate conflict and pressure at work, and why stress is so often driven by relationships rather than workload. Devon explains attachment theory in clear, practical terms, shares techniques to help you manage relational conflict and regain a sense of agency, and offers a thoughtful look at how AI could improve feedback and reduce unnecessary workplace anxiety.

This episode is all about the hidden beliefs that quietly shape our lives. I share how thoughts like “I'm not good enough” or “I don't deserve to be happy” were running the show in my own life, until I began to question them. I explain how these limiting beliefs often feel like truth, but they're just thoughts, and they can be unlearned. Whether it's imposter syndrome or fear of success, I show you how to start shifting from self-judgment to self-compassion, and how even small insights can spark real, lasting change.

Marty Dubin: Blindspotting Martin Dubin is a clinical psychologist, serial entrepreneur, business coach, and adviser to C-suite executives and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. He has founded several companies, including a multimillion-dollar health-care company where he also served as CEO. He is the author of Blindspotting: How to See What's Holding You Back as a Leader (Amazon, Bookshop)*. Whenever I ask leaders, “What's getting in the way of you moving forward?” the most common answer I hear is, “Myself.” In this episode, Marty and I explore what's likely holding you back and how you can take the first steps to get traction. Key Points Many leaders don't recognize the need for change and succumb to an identity blindspot. You don't have to change your identity, but there's a mismatch between role and identity, that's a major problem. Shifting your identity is not changing who you are. Identities help us to sort through people and situations so we know who we are in relation to them. An identity that many have worked before can get in the way today. Common ones are: imposter, independent thinker, rule follower, unworthy, entitled, rebel, and peacemaker. Look back through your calendar over the past three months and determine how well your activities match up with the identity your role demands. Embody the new identity you are aiming to shift to, even if you're not yet feeling it.

What if the very habits that made you successful are now the ones holding you back? In this episode of Hello Monday, host Jessi Hempel is joined by executive coach and leadership expert Muriel Wilkins to explore the hidden beliefs that quietly shape how we lead and make decisions. These “blocking beliefs”—like I need it done now, if I can do it, so can you—often begin as strengths. But over time, they can fuel burnout, micromanagement, and disengaged teams. Drawing from her new book, Leadership Unblocked, Muriel offers a practical framework for identifying the beliefs that no longer serve us and replacing them with more flexible, sustainable ways of leading—without losing ambition, standards, or control. Together, Jessi and Muriel unpack how leaders can expand their range, lead with greater ease, and grow their organizations by first growing themselves. In this conversation, you'll learn: What “blocking beliefs” are and how they develop over the course of a career A three-step process for uncovering, unpacking, and unblocking limiting beliefs Why urgency and perfectionism often undermine leadership effectiveness How the belief “I need it done now” contributes to burnout and unclear priorities How the truth of our external environment can be reframed in the narrative we tell ourselves How to stop micromanaging without sacrificing accountability We are no longer hosting weekly Office Hours but are thrilled to launch the Hello Monday Book Club.

In this episode, Ben explores how deeply held beliefs shape behaviour and can quietly limit leadership confidence. Using personal stories about fitness, public speaking, and career choices, he illustrates how untested assumptions can become self-imposed barriers. Ben explains the difference between fixed and growth mindsets, the role of self-talk, and how beliefs often become baked into identity. He encourages leaders to notice when they say "I can't do that" and get curious about whether those beliefs are actually true.

Most entrepreneurs believe that if they just work harder, push longer, and sacrifice more, success will finally bring peace, happiness, and fulfillment. But what if tying your happiness to your business success is the very thing preventing your business from growing? In today's episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly breaks down the 3 B's that quietly derail entrepreneurs who emotionally attach their worth and happiness to business performance, and why learning to separate the two is essential for long term growth, health, and leadership. Drawing from over a decade of building multiple companies and leading through every season of business, Kelly explains why businesses naturally experience cycles of winter, spring, summer, and fall, and how your ability to remain mentally and emotionally steady determines whether you scale or stall. This episode is a powerful reminder that your worth is not measured by revenue, and that becoming a resilient, four-season CEO is the key to building a sustainable business and a meaningful life. In this episode, you'll learn: Why businesses naturally fluctuate (and why that's completely normal) Why being happy outside of business makes you a stronger CEO How to build the mental and emotional strength required to lead through every season TIMESTAMPS: 03:01 – 04:45 — The reality of business seasons (winter, spring, summer, fall) 04:46 – 06:30 — Why tying happiness to performance keeps you unhappy most of the time 06:31 – 08:10 — How stress, panic, and overwhelm shut down decision-making 08:11 – 09:40 — The first B: Burnout (and why it really ends businesses) 09:41 – 11:10 — The second B: Bad decisions driven by fear and scarcity 11:11 – 12:40 — The third B: Bigger life problems that spill into health and relationships 12:41 – 14:00 — Becoming a four-season CEO and separating worth from results RESOURCES For more faith leadership content, subscribe to Kelly's Substack: https://kellyroachofficial.substack.com/  Called to Lead: The Premier Women's Leadership Event happening in South Florida on October 1st, 2026: https://www.sandiglandt.com/called-to-lead  Subscribe to Kelly's weekly newsletter for tips and strategies delivered straight to your inbox: https://kellyroachinternational.kit.com/news  Follow Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyroachofficial/  Follow Kelly on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelly.roach.520/  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyroachint/   

A lot of people are carrying decisions from last year they wish had gone differently — and I don't want you spending the entire first chunk of 2026 quietly recovering from 2025. This episode is about how to experience regret without letting it define you, derail you, or keep you stuck in self-judgment. You don't need to get rid of regret. You just need a healthier relationship with it. Here's where we go today: Why regret doesn't HAVE TO mean you failed and need to pay penance with shame How accepting that regret will happen actually prevents shame and self-blame The difference between feeling regret and over-identifying with it How it helps to identify thoughts and emotions when regret hits The most important question to ask after regret shows up If you've ever worried that regret means you “chose wrong,” this episode will help you move forward without punishing yourself.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Martin Dubin, psychologist, former CEO, executive coach, and author of Blindspotting: How to See What's Holding You Back as a Leader. Marty brings a rare combination of clinical insight and real-world leadership experience to a topic that affects every project manager and frontline leader: the blindspots that quietly shape our behavior, decisions, and impact. Together, the discussion explores how motives often drive our actions without us realizing it, why strengths can become liabilities when overused, and how emotion acts as one of the most powerful and least discussed forces in leadership. Marty explains his layered model of blindspots, including identity, motive, traits, emotion, and behavior, and shows how leaders can build awareness without trying to "fix" who they are. You will also hear practical guidance on creating a simple change plan that actually sticks, using small behavioral tweaks, prompts, and accountability rather than dramatic personal transformation. The conversation closes with thoughtful examples of how blindspotting can improve not only leadership at work, but relationships at home as well. If you want practical insight into leading with greater self-awareness, emotional range, and intentional growth, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The hardest part of leadership is not managing others. It's managing ourselves." "Your strengths work for you most of the time, which is why it's so hard to see when they start working against you." "You know, whatever it is, it's usually invisible to us until someone or something forces it into view." "Now, if you put the modifier TOO in front of it, what happens when you're TOO confident? What happens when you're TOO organized? What happens when you're TOO creative?" "What do they tell you? You are too...." "Motives constrict under stress, and that's often when blindspots do the most damage." "Traits don't need to be changed. They need to be regulated." "Emotion is one of the most powerful tools leaders have, whether they use it intentionally or not." "Real change comes from small behavioral tweaks, not personality transformation."

This Mindset Debrief episode is a short-form reflection on personal accountability, discipline, and self-leadership for people navigating pressure, responsibility, and growth. In this episode, we focus on: Stop giving the world more power than it has.The World is Holding you Back: Walk through a pattern a lot of capable people fall into without realizing it: when accountability gets uncomfortable, it's easy to decide the problem is “out there.” The system. The culture. Your coworkers. Your boss. Timing. Your environment. However, that story quietly changes everything, especially the everyday moments that shouldn't carry so much weight. A suggestion gets heard as an attack. A question gets labeled as skepticism. A disagreement starts feeling like disrespect. You replay conversations, anticipate resistance before it even shows up, and stay on guard in situations that don't require it. This isn't an episode where we pretend obstacles don't exist. It acknowledges that people misunderstand each other, systems are imperfect, and some environments are harder than others. But it also make a clear distinction that changes how you move through work and relationships: friction is neutral. What matters is what you do after friction shows up. A big part of the episode focuses on feedback and communication. Feedback is often poorly delivered, badly timed, and filtered through someone else's bias. Still, if you automatically convert feedback into an attack, you lose useful information that could help you improve how you're perceived, how you communicate, and how you perform. This episode also addresses the cycle that keeps people stuck: carrying tension into every interaction, watching others pull back, then using that reaction as “proof” you're being held back. The way out is uncomfortable, but simple in concept. You stop handing the world more power than it actually has, and you start owning your side: how you listen, how you respond, what you assume, and what you're willing to adjust.

More investors—especially Millennials and Gen Z—are treating markets like a casino. Not because they're reckless, but because the traditional path to financial security feels broken. Lance Roberts & Jonathan Penn break down Financial Nihilism vs. Financial Planning: why speculative behavior is rising, and what still works when confidence in long-term investing erodes. Options trading, crypto, meme assets, and betting apps offer fast outcomes in a world where housing is expensive, debt is high, and patience feels unrewarded. 0:00 - INTRO 0:19 - ISM Index Weaker than Expected 4:25 - Market Breadth Improves 8:51 - Two Dads on Money Holiday Recap 10:43 - What is 'Financial Nihilism'? 15:10 - The Path to "Getting Rich" 17:04 - What Capitalism is Built For 17:54 - Baby Boomer's, Millennial's, & Gen-Z 21:19 - What is "The American Dream"? 23:03 - Experience is a Good Teacher 28:03 - No One is Holding You Back 32:55 - The most Important Thing - The Savings Rate 37:15 - Cars & Collectibles 43:08 - Financial Nihilism is Not Real 45:45 - Car Financing & Debt Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan Penn, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1qXRp9gLoc&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1 ------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Sector Rotation Signals Improving Market Breadth," is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sttQ3aaH4Rc&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- REGISTER for our 2026 Economic Summit, "The Future of Digital Assets, Artificial Intelligence, and Investing:" https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2026-ria-economic-summit-tickets-1765951641899?aff=oddtdtcreator ------- Watch our previous show, "2026 Market Outlook: Bullish Momentum, Valuation Risks, and What Comes Next," here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxDnB-Z7mJI&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1 -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestm entadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #MarketBreadth #SectorRotation #ValueStocks #MarketOutlook #StockMarketToday #FinancialNihilism #FinancialPlanning #InvestorBehavior #LongTermInvesting #WealthBuilding

Another January. Another promise to yourself that this is the year you finally get healthy. But deep down, you're already wondering if this time will be any different. Because you've tried. You really have. You know the Girl Scout Cookies aren't helping, but you love them, and were going to eat just one… yet here you are with every single row gone! You look in the mirror and think, "How did I even get here?"And the worst thought of all? "What if my body gives out before my assignment is complete?"Here's what we've learned after working with countless leaders who felt the exact same way: You think you have a discipline or willpower problem, but in reality there are five specific things that have been quietly sabotaging you.Once you identify and fix them, you can finally become the fully powered version of yourself. In this episode, we walk through all five: - why you keep reaching for foods you know aren't helping you- why your best intentions fall apart by Wednesday- how to finally make healthy eating stick without feeling like you hate the method that's getting you thereYour energy can be optimized. Your mind can be crystal clear. And your body can completely support you in showing up confidently for every Kingdom assignment God brings your way. So if you're tired of starting over, press play and let's make this the year you finally step into everything you know you're capable of, with the body that's ready to go the distance.

Have you ever noticed how on the days you don't feel great in what you're wearing… you're just a little quieter?   You still show up. You still do the thing. But you're not quite as sharp, as bold, or as expressive as you know you can be. You don't raise your hand as fast. You don't hit "post" as confidently. You don't walk into the room like, "Yep. I belong here."   And what's wild is — we almost never connect that back to our clothes. We tell ourselves we're just tired… distracted… not in the mood… "off" today. But what if your style is playing a much bigger role than you think?   That's what we're talking about today — not fashion trends or shopping lists — but the subtle ways your style might be quietly holding you back… and exactly what to do about it.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 298 – Style as Your Personal Brand: How to Lead With Authority Without Saying a Word 246 – 10 Ways to Boost Your Self-Esteem so You Can Show Up More Confidently at Work and in Life 45 – Growing Your Confidence Is a SELFLESS Choice —Here's Why

Hanna shares how unresolved energy patterns, generational pain, and unconscious entanglements can block our ability to feel safe with money, and how real healing begins when we stop bypassing the deeper work.They explore:Why mindset, strategy, and affirmations can only go so far when you're still entangled in inherited painWhat it actually means to "heal your money"—and why you don't have to relive your trauma to do itThe difference between money healing and money management (and why we need both)This is a conversation about energetic healing, generational patterns, and creating a relationship with money that feels safe, supportive, and aligned.

If you're someone who keeps waiting for reassurance before you move or make a decision, this Mindset Debrief episode is for you. It addresses the pattern and shows how it turns capable people into hesitant decision-makers.You'll see what it's costing you in momentum and self-trust, and you'll leave with a practical way to act while uncertainty's still present.A lot of people assume they're delaying because they're being careful. The research points to a more uncomfortable driver. Avoidance often shows up as emotion regulation, not bad time management. When a task or decision stirs up tension, the brain looks for quick relief, and delay becomes a short-term mood fix. Reassurance works the same way. It can lower anxiety for a moment, but it teaches you to treat discomfort as a problem that needs to be removed before you're “allowed” to act. In clinical research, excessive reassurance-seeking is tied to worsening depressive symptoms and strained relationships, partly because it can pull other people into a loop that never really resolves the fear underneath. This gets louder when you've got a low tolerance for uncertainty. Intolerance of uncertainty reliably predicts higher anxiety, and it pushes people toward behaviors that feel safe in the moment, like checking, overplanning, and seeking repeated confirmation. In decision-making research, that “safety behavior” can backfire by keeping you dependent on certainty you can't actually secure. SpringerSo this episode draws a hard line between two things that get confused: information and permission. Information helps you make a better call. Permission is emotional outsourcing. If you can't tell the difference, you'll keep collecting opinions long after you've already got enough to decide.We talk through what reassurance-seeking looks like in real life at work and at home, why it feels responsible, and how it quietly trains you to distrust your own judgment. Then we shift the standard you're using. You're not waiting for confidence. You're waiting for discomfort to go away. It won't. The move is learning to decide with it still there, and to treat self-trust as something you practice, not something you earn from other people.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10

In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth speaks with Khanh-Linh Le, entrepreneur and host of the Forest Builders podcast. Khanh-Linh shares how she left prestigious corporate jobs in France and Vietnam to dive into the world of chocolate entrepreneurship – then later made the equally tough decision to leave that venture behind.

Most people don't fail. They don't crash and burn. They just stay the same without ever fully realizing it.   In this end-of-year solo episode, I'm unpacking something most people don't want to look at: the hidden cost of staying exactly where you are, and why so many of us think we're changing while unconsciously playing it safe.   We talk about the difference between performing change and embodying it, why setting goals alone doesn't actually transform your life, and how loyalty to a familiar identity can quietly keep you stuck for years.   If you've been telling yourself: "I'll change when things slow down," "I just need to feel ready," or "It's not that bad,"   this episode is your invitation to pause and get radically honest. Because staying the same isn't neutral. It's already costing you: in energy, self-trust, and time. And the only real question is whether you're willing to stop confusing intention with transformation.   This Episode Is For You If: You set goals every year but feel like nothing really shifts You're "doing the work" but still playing small or safe You're high-functioning, successful on paper, but internally restless You're ready to stop negotiating with yourself and raise your standards   Fitness, health, and holistic wellness for $22/month Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?

Dr. Saumya Dave, psychiatrist, mental health advocate, and author of the new novel The Guilt Pill, joins me this week for a conversation about the emotional load so many mothers carry that can shape our choices, our identity, and even how we see ourselves as parents.   Together we explore:   - The surprising truth that guilt isn't always bad and how to recognize when it's actually trying to tell you something important. - How cultural expectations and "good girl" conditioning quietly shape the way mothers judge themselves, often without realizing it. - What happens when we try to shut off difficult emotions, and why numbing guilt can create more challenges than it solves. - Why Dr. Saumya chose fiction to explore the emotional undercurrents of motherhood and how storytelling reveals truths we rarely say out loud. - What kids learn from the way we relate to guilt and how parents can model a healthier, more grounded approach. - Small shifts that can loosen guilt's grip and help you reconnect with the messy, joyful moments right in front of you.   If you've ever felt weighed down by the pressure to be a "perfect" parent, struggled with the inner critic that tells you you're not doing enough, or simply want a deeper understanding of where mom guilt comes from and how to soften its impact, this episode will give you clarity, validation, and tools to support your emotional wellbeing.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Hey friend — feeling exhausted, stuck, or like you're always on the brink? In this episode Avik chats with Susanna Kenyan-Murray about the hidden mental load: burnout, sneaky limiting beliefs, and the subconscious scripts that keep you small. They share simple, powerful shifts you can try now — breathwork to release stored tension, journaling and mindset work to catch the replays, and boundary-setting to protect your energy so you can actually thrive. If your chest feels a bit lighter just hearing this, trust that feeling — one conscious breath and one brave decision can be the start of a whole new story.

What if the reason you hesitate, second-guess yourself, or hold back from the life you want has nothing to do with your capability and everything to do with an old version of you still calling the shots?In this episode, I explore a truth that changes everything once you see it. We are not born doubting ourselves. We are born confident, expressive, curious, and unafraid. But over time, the world teaches us to quiet down, to not be too much, to stay safe. And without questioning it, we listen. That dimmed version of ourselves slowly becomes the voice we default to. Not because we are broken, but because we learned how to survive.I share how this shows up in real life for so many women. Feeling called to lead but waiting until you feel ready. Wanting more but editing yourself before you even try. Knowing you are meant for something bigger while staying loyal to an old story that tells you to stay small.This episode is about recognizing when your inner girl is running the show and learning how to let the woman you are today take the lead. It is about self trust, leadership, and remembering who you were before the world told you to be less.In this episode, I talk about:Why we are born confident and how self doubt is learnedHow childhood conditioning shows up in adult decision makingThe difference between intuition and old fear patternsWhy so many women wait for permission instead of trusting themselvesHow healing your inner girl directly impacts how you lead and liveWhat it really means to lead from withinIf you have ever felt called to more but found yourself hesitating, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.And if something in this episode resonates, I want to personally invite you to join me for my free two day masterclass, Lead from Within, happening live January 26th and 27th. This experience is designed to help you break through self doubt, reconnect with your inner voice, and step into your life with more clarity, courage, and confidence.

You were taught to.The inner girl is protective, not broken.The version of you that learned how to survive does not need to run your life.Confidence is not something you earn. It is something you remember.When a woman learns to trust herself, she becomes a powerful example for every girl watching.When you rise back into who you truly are, you do not just change your own life. You change what is possible for the next generation.Closing affirmation:I trust myself. I lead from within.

In this episode, Rachel Hollis emphasizes the importance of safeguarding early dreams from external criticism and skepticism. She highlights how initial dreams are fragile and can be easily crushed by doubts, even those from well-meaning loved ones. Rachel outlines nine reasons to keep your goals private initially, including avoiding the influence of worriers, the dilution of your vision when translating it for others, and protecting yourself from others' projections of their limitations.Get your copy of Rachel's New Book Here: Audible, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Millon, Bookshop.org, or wherever books are sold!02:03 The Importance of Keeping Dreams Private04:13 Reason 1: Worriers Kill More Dreams Than Haters07:38 Reason 2: Explaining Your Vision Dilutes It11:28 Reason 3: People Only Know the Old You14:14 Reason 4: People Project Their Limitations Onto You18:47 Reason 5: Talking Tricks Your Brain Into Thinking You Took Action25:46 Navigating Confrontation and Pursuing Dreams27:21 Realizing Self-Worth and Ambition28:11 The Impact of Silent Efforts29:18 Growth and Its Effects on Relationships31:12 Personal Development and External Influences34:36 Protecting Your Dream from Negative Opinions35:54 The Importance of Emotional Maturity in Dreams38:20 Avoiding Confusion from External Opinions39:15 Trusting Your Inner Voice and Taking Action40:11 The Consequences of Listening to Others44:25 Final Thoughts and EncouragementSign up for Rachel's weekly email: https://msrachelhollis.com/insider/Call the podcast hotline and leave a voicemail!
