In this deeply personal tribute episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog reflect on the legacy and lessons of Adrian Ulsh, Karl's business partner and "big brother" of 17 years, who recently passed away. They discuss the principles, temperament, and business philosophies that defined Adrian's impact on their company, their clients, and the entire coaching industry. Karl shares invaluable insights into the operating system Adrian helped create, actionable strategies for growing and coaching small businesses, and practical approaches to prospecting and retention—all inspired by Adrian's stoic focus and unwavering dedication. Key Topics Covered The Legacy and Principles of Adrian Ulsh Karl Bryan shares heartfelt stories about Adrian Ulsh's influence, describing Adrian as the true "man, myth, legend" and the stabilizing force behind their partnership. Family first: Adrian's definition encompassed team members, clients, and the broader community. Wild loyalty, consistency, and frugality as core values that drove business and personal success. Building and Installing a Business Operating System The "Jumpstart 12" framework: Twelve core areas for incremental business improvement and profit acceleration. How small, strategic changes (2-5% gains in multiple areas) compound to produce powerful growth. The importance of standards over goals and repeating proven stories for impact. Real-World Example: Coaching a Landscaping Business Step-by-step, Karl details how Adrian would apply the Jumpstart 12: controlling costs, defining a market-dominating position, bundling services, creating compelling offers, joint ventures, upselling, and cross-selling. Emphasis on practical, low-friction implementation—no magic pills, expensive hires, or complicated training. The Magic of Incremental and Compounding Growth Why professionals focus on what could go wrong, systematize improvements, and avoid "hopium." Operating by numbers: using math and real metrics, not emotions or wishful thinking, to guide decisions. Client Prospecting and Scripting Mastery Adrian's approach to outreach: short, personalized, authority-driven messages sent consistently. Leveraging connections (Chamber, BNI, local hangouts), offering value, and asking for opinions to initiate real conversations. The importance of sending multiple messages daily, not expecting instant results, and using results—not emotions—as a barometer. Notable Quotes "He didn't have goals. He had standards. Create standards for yourself." — Karl Bryan "You want to build a great company, you want to build a great product—consistency and focus over talent all day long and twice on Sunday." — Karl Bryan "Don't get too up. Don't get too down… Warren Buffett doesn't walk into a boardroom all hopped up on hopium." — Karl Bryan "Send it out 50 times a day. If you want results, don't just do it once." — Karl Bryan (on outreach) Actionable Takeaways Focus on Incremental Improvements: Apply the Jumpstart 12 framework and aim for small (2-5%) gains across multiple business areas to produce exponential results. Systematize Everything: Build clear standards, document your operating process, and repeat proven stories and tactics for better client outcomes. Be Relentlessly Consistent: Don't chase perfection or get lost behind the screen—take steady, focused action daily on outreach and client delivery. Eliminate Distractions: Legendary business success comes from eliminating everything except your one core focus—whether it's live events, lead generation, or client retention. Outreach with Authority and Value: Use short, confident messages that reference known connections or groups. Focus on ideas and feedback to open doors. Let Results Be the Guide: Track progress by cash in the bank, referrals, and new clients—not emotions or subjective feedback. Serve the Fat Middle: Target the mass market of SMB "newbies," not just the 4% of $1M+ businesses, for scalable growth and reduced risk.

Send us a textWhile I was researching the history of California, the history of Florida and the Pacific Crest Trail, there was a common thread, atrocities done to the first people to inhabit North America.I've hiked to places where blood was shed and sometimes I've found a marker, but often not. This is a history we need to remember, a pain that should be looked at straight on, and a healing that can only happen if we are honest about this part of United States history.Feels like Thanksgiving is a good time to have this conversation.Let's get into it.***The dissemination of this history in no way makes up for what was done to First People. And no podcast episode can heal a hurt. As a woman born in North America, I respect whatever path to heal the First People take. It is simply my goal to keep the history alive and offer a hand and a bear hug to those that need it.I don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers. I choose people, podcasts and authors I believe in to highlight in the ad segment. That's why I've been shining a spotlight on Derek Condit at Mystical Wares. He is both talented and generous with those gifts.

Honoring Dorothea Lange, the American documentary photographer and photojournalist who, through her snapshots and commentary, recorded the consequences of the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression and WWII in California.Snapshots in black & white illustrate the human suffering and struggle to survive of farmers fleeing the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, and the internment of Japanese American citizens.A walk through the past brings us back to today. Here we are, 95 years years after the Dust Bowl and Great Depression. Poverty is spiking in the country with the highest concentration of billionaires in the world, the U.S.A. Through the machinations of the billionaires and fossil fuel corporations, the White House has rolled back progress in dealing with  the climate crisis. Remember the suffering and loss caused by the Dust Bowl? Remember the devastation caused by the Great Depression? After experiencing the live performance of Last West Roadsongs for Dorothea Lange at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, this is what floated up for me. https://svma.org/exhibition/last-west/For more: https://oshahayden.com/RELEVANT HISTORY The DUST BOWL “Between 1930 and 1940, the southwestern Great Plains region of the United States suffered a severe drought. Once a semi-arid grassland, the treeless plains became home to thousands of settlers when, in 1862, Congress passed the Homestead Act. Most of the settlers farmed their land or grazed cattle. The farmers plowed the prairie grasses and planted dry land wheat. As the demand for wheat products grew, cattle grazing was reduced, and millions more acres were plowed and planted.Dry land farming on the Great Plains led to the systematic destruction of the prairie grasses. In the ranching regions, overgrazing also destroyed large areas of grassland. Gradually, the land was laid bare, and significant environmental damage began to occur. Among the natural elements, the strong winds of the region were particularly devastating.With the onset of drought in 1930, the overfarmed and overgrazed land began to blow away. Winds whipped across the plains, raising billowing clouds of dust. The sky could darken for days, and even well-sealed homes could have a thick layer of dust on the furniture. In some places, the dust drifted like snow, covering farm buildings and houses. Nineteen states in the heartland of the United States became a vast dust bowl. With no chance of making a living, farm families abandoned their homes and land, fleeing westward to become migrant laborers.”“In all, 400,000 people left the Great Plains, victims of the combined action of severe drought and poor soil conservation practices.”“In his 1939 book The Grapes of Wrath, author John Steinbeck described the flight of families from the Dust Bowl: "And then the dispossessed were drawn west--from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico; from Nevada and Arkansas, families, tribes, dusted out, tractored out. Car-loads, caravans, homeless and hungry; twenty thousand and fifty thousand and a hundred thousand and two hundred thousand. They streamed over the mountains, hungry and restless--restless as ants, scurrying to find work to do--to lift, to push, to pick, to cut--anything, any burden to bear, for food. The kids are hungry. We got no place to live. Like ants scurrying for work, for food, and most of all for land." Library of Congress US History https://www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/united-states-history-primary-source-timeline/great-depression-and-world-war-ii-1929-1945/dust-bowl/If you enjoyed this show, please leave a positive review and share with your friends.

There's an art to wound care that nobody really talks about. It's not just gauze, tape, and timed changes—it's patience, presence, and keeping your cool when things look a little… chaotic.The Zen of Dressing Changes is all about finding calm in the mess. Slowing down your breathing. Honoring the routine. Respecting the healing process even when it's not pretty. Because every change is a moment to reset, refocus, and remind yourself: healing takes time, and so do you.Whether you're a caregiver, clinician, or just tending to your own journey, tap into that stillness. Turn the chaos into clarity. Find your rhythm in the ritual.

You've identified the problem. You understand the instinct gap. Now it's time to fix it.In the first two episodes of this series, we talked about why financial content isn't creating change and introduced the conative mind, the missing piece that explains why people don't take action even when they know what to do. We showed you how your natural way of taking action as a financial professional is likely very different from your clients' instincts, and how that mismatch creates friction.Today, we're giving you the solution. A three-step framework you can apply right away to your content, your coaching, and your conversations.This is the Action-Ready Framework, and it's designed to bridge the instinct gap by flipping the starting point. Instead of coaching from your instincts, you match theirs. And when you do, everything shifts.Clients feel seen and understood. They take action confidently. They ask more questions and engage more deeply. They convert and stick around because they're getting real results.In this episode, we walk through each step of the framework with practical examples you can use immediately. We show you what happens when your coaching matches your clients' natural way of taking action. And we bring it all back to what this series has been about from the start: buy-in.Because the best strategy isn't the one that looks best on paper. It's the one your client will stick with because they believe in it. Buy-in is the real metric of success.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupRegister for How to Create Buy-In: Designing Financial Experiences That StickKey Takeaways:Start with "just enough to start" and layer in complexity. Instead of giving clients everything they need to know upfront, give them the most relevant information only and build in detail slowly as they need it.Focus on phases or outcomes, not every step. Clients need to see where they're headed, but they don't need every micro-task spelled out in advance. Leave room for feedback, flexibility, and iteration. Frame your guidance as one possible starting point and openly invite clients to modify it to fit their reality. Something not working isn't a mistake, it's valuable input.Your new motto is "less, simpler, sooner." Where your instinct might be to give more detail, more structure, more preparation, what actually gets most people moving is less, simpler, sooner.When clients feel seen and understood, they take action confidently. Honoring their instincts doesn't diminish your expertise—it amplifies it.Buy-in is the real metric of success. The more bought in someone is, the more creative they are when things get tough, the faster they take action, and the longer they stick with it.The best strategy is the one that creates the most buy-in for the client. Financial calculators don't account for buy-in, but buy-in is what determines whether clients actually execute the plan.

Walking Shield has spent nearly four decades improving quality of life for Native communities across the United States—bridging sovereign tribal nations with philanthropy, federal agencies, and the U.S. military.  Alongside the Walking Shield team, Executive Director, Dr. John Castillo, and Senior Fellow, Mariano Diaz help tribes build the capacity needed to secure federal funding, strengthen infrastructure, and advance true self-determination. Their work blends grassroots trust-building with systems-level strategy, supporting tribes on projects ranging from road repairs and water access to energy development, environmental co-management, and leadership planning. This Episode: What does true collaboration with tribal nations require? Dr. John Castillo and Mariano Diaz highlight the deep assets that guide Native communities, including long-standing governance traditions, cultural and environmental knowledge, and a strong commitment to collective well-being. They share how Walking Shield helps tribes use these strengths to access federal resources, plan for long-term development, and steward land and water. They also discuss the systemic barriers tribes still face, such as underinvestment and complex federal requirements, and how capacity-building can make a meaningful difference. Together with Grant, they explore San Diego's uniquely rich tribal landscape, the growing promise of co-management of natural resources, and why trust, relationship-building, and listening first are essential for any partnership with Indian Country. At its heart, the conversation offers a long view of resilience and strategy, reminding us that when Native leadership is honored and communities have the tools to act on their priorities, progress becomes both possible and lasting. Key Moments: [9:40] San Diego has the most tribes per capita and what that means for the region  [14:02] The capacity gap: why many tribes can't access federal funds designed for them  [16:34] Everybody benefits: how the National Guard helped rebuild dangerous reservation roads  [34:10] Co-management, water rights, and environmental stewardship  [51:15] What partnership looks like when it works  Resources Mentioned: Walking Shield – Improving quality of life for Native communities since 1986 Southern California Tribal Chairmen's Association – Regional tribal leadership and coordination Prebys Foundation's BRIDGE Initiative – Supporting organizations that expand community capacity Take Action: Read and Learn More— Explore the history and present realities of San Diego's tribal nations. Build Relationships — If you work in philanthropy, government, or community development, ask how you can learn directly from tribal leaders. Support Sovereignty — Advocate for funding systems that recognize tribal governments' authority and needs. Visit and Listen — When invited, spend time on tribal lands to understand local priorities firsthand. Keep the Long View — Remember that partnership, persistence, and shared purpose can outlast political cycles.

"I AM A WIFE." In this episode, our host and her HUSBAND talk about their wedding weekend along with their wedding night! 

Today we are celebrating the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's 272-word masterpiece, delivered November 19, 1863.Join hosts Dorian Francis and George Stephen as they dive into the short, upbeat, and surprisingly controversial story of the speech that redefined America.Highlights:Was the Gettysburg Address a flop in 1863? (Spoiler: the old “nobody liked it” story is mostly myth – newspapers and letters from the time went wild for it.)The guy who spoke before Lincoln droned on for almost two hours. Abe wrapped it up in under three minutes. Legend.Lincoln finally says the quiet part out loud: the Civil War is about slavery, full stop.Honoring the dead on both sides – beautiful in 1863, but would Twitter cancel him today for not dragging the Confederates hard enough?“A new birth of freedom” and the big question: Can a nation “so conceived and so dedicated… long endure?”Bonus hot take: America is American democracy really as fragile as everyone keeps yelling, or is it tougher than we think? (We vote tougher.)Short, punchy, and poundcake-approved – grab your coffee and give it a listen as we toast the speech that still hits 162 years later.Four score and seven snacks ago… we hit record.Subscribe: PolicyandPoundCake.comRead the Full Short Speech.https://voicesofdemocracy.umd.edu/lincoln-gettysburg-address-speech-text/

Speaking across the decades from the 1960s to the 2010s, Ram Dass shares stories about his mother and father, and explores what it means to honor our parents and incarnation.

Visit magicmind.com to get 58% off subscriptions, free shipping, and a free 15-pack of Sleep Shots.This episode of Here and Now is a compilation of Ram Dass discussing what it means to honor our parents and our incarnation. We begin in 1969 at the family farm in New Hampshire. Ram Dass talks about how most of our efforts to help other people are simply high drama. He tells a story about wanting to speak with his mother about dying when she was going through that process, but she had to be the one to open the door to the conversation.The next stop is the 1970s at the Abode of the Message in New Lebanon, New York. Ram Dass explores how part of the spiritual journey is about honoring incarnation and honoring our parents. He shares stories about spending time with his father, and how moments of intimacy between them were born of Ram Dass not trying to be someone special anymore. We move on to a 1985 Seva benefit in San Rafael, California. Ram Dass discusses moving back home at 50 to care for his aging father. He then tells the story of being called home from a meditation retreat to help his sick stepmother, and a moment of anger he felt towards his guru about what was happening.Up next is a trip to the 1990s at the Conscious Aging Retreat in Clearwater, Florida. Ram Dass responds to a question about helping a child awaken. He talks about how you have to become somebody before you become nobody, and recalls a memory where he and his mother overcame their roles of parent and child for a brief moment.Finally, we end with a conversation between Ram Dass and John Welshons on Maui in 2011. Ram Dass tells the story of a meditation retreat that turned into a therapy group, which triggered a memory from when he was a young child and his mother was holding him down during a temper tantrum. Ram Dass tries to reconcile this memory with the moment when his guru told him his mother is a very high soul. The Ram Dass community gathers regularly to engage in meaningful discussions about the podcast. We invite you to join us and share your curiosities, insights, and wisdom.

Ram Dass teaches that through the Bhakti practice of unconditional love, we can all connect with our true nature. Through these teachings, Ram Dass has shared a little piece of his guru, Maharaj-ji, with all who have listened to him. Learn more at ramdass.org.“Now, I've done this, being with my father once a month now, for several years, because I said to myself, ‘Look, you have to honor your incarnation. And one of the aspects of your incarnation is that you are your father's son.' And even though, on some level, that seems kind of funny, it happens to be part of what it's about. Just like I have to honor the fact that I am an American. I have to pay my taxes. I have to do a lot of stuff. And this is one of the things, I must honor it. And then I have to figure out—what does it mean to honor it? What does it mean to honor it? What does it mean to honor parents?” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"You cannot be more of a friend to others than you are to yourself."   What if friendship wasn't meant to be effortless, but to make you more alive? What if every relationship, especially the most challenging ones, was a portal into your own expansion? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with Barnet Bain, award-winning filmmaker, spiritual teacher, and author of How to Be a Friend in an Unfriendly World, to explore the sacred, often overlooked art of friending. Barnet reveals a radical truth: Most of us think we're good friends, until the relationship becomes inconvenient. Until someone changes. Until life asks us to grow. Together we dive into the real work of authentic connection, why unconditional love is often a myth we hide behind, how our unspoken emotional contracts quietly sabotage intimacy, and why true friendship requires a willingness to be changed by one another. Barnet shares tender personal stories, including a powerful moment with his daughter that shattered his self-image and awakened him to the unconscious conditions he had placed on love. Through his wisdom, we explore how friendship becomes a spiritual practice, a living crucible where our wounds, triggers, and projections are not obstacles but invitations. Listen to this episode and learn how to friend yourself, friend your wounds, friend your inner weather, and finally, friend others from a place of truth, not need. Timestamps:  (00:02:27) -  What inspired Barnet's new book on friendship (00:04:22) - A wake-up call: Barnet's daughter confronts him (00:08:52) - What is a friend? A new definition (00:10:26) - Unspoken "contracts" in friendships (00:12:04) - Why true friendship requires being emotional and spiritual peers (00:17:28) - The "backpack" we all carry into relationships (00:20:28) -  Friendship across generational or financial differences (00:21:38) -  Friendship in a polarized world: Trump/Biden, identity, beliefs (00:22:06) -  Becoming a friend to your inner world first (00:27:38) -  Lucid living: becoming aware inside the "dream of life" (00:29:25) -  How Barnet has sustained a 40-year marriage (00:32:35) -  Honoring each other & being willing to be changed (00:35:22) -  Why we lack models for friendship today (00:38:16) -  How to know when a friendship is over (00:41:34) -  What to do when you feel lonely or friendless (00:47:17) -  Fun as medicine & small steps to connection (00:49:26) -  Tools to deepen existing friendships (00:52:43) -  The real function of a friend Some Questions I Ask: What inspired you to write a book specifically about friendship?  What is your definition of a friend?

In this episode of the Be Unmessablewith® podcast, I dive into one of the most underestimated sources of personal power: keeping your word to yourself.If you've ever promised yourself you'd “start Monday,” “slow down,” or “finally make time for you” and then didn't, this conversation will hit home. We often talk about integrity in relationships, in business, and with others… but the relationship that determines all the rest is the WORD you have with yourself. When you break promises to yourself, you quietly erode confidence, fuel resentment, and teach your brain that your word doesn't matter. Over time, that disconnect drains your energy, dulls your creativity, and limits your impact.But here's the deal: every time you keep a promise to yourself, even a small one, you rebuild trust. You restore integrity. You strengthen the muscle that can make you truly Unmessablewith.What you'll hear in this episodeWhy self-trust is the foundation of real powerHow breaking promises creates mistrust and self-doubtThe “Small Wins System”, a simple structure for rebuilding self-trust through bite-sized commitmentsThe “Power Pause Protocol”: How to stop making casual promises you can't keepHow your word can be your wand and how to use it to design the reality you wantHow integrity and discipline become the gateway to freedom, not restrictionWhat I love about this episode: it's not about being perfect, it's about HONOR.  Honoring your WORD.. When you start keeping even the tiniest promises to yourself, everything changes: your confidence, your relationships, your ability to create.That's what being Unmessablewith® looks like, not reacting to life, but creating it, one promise at a time.Join Word Bootcamp: My brand-new ONE TIME ONLY LIVE ON ZOOM 4-week workshop to build the muscle of your word so that your word is law in the universe. This is where your self-trust gets rebuilt from the ground up. Spaces are limited, so grab your spot NOW.https://beunmessablewith.thrivecart.com/word-bootcamp-january-2026Connect With JosselyneWebsite: beunmessablewith.comInstagram: @beunmessablewith

Where in your business or relationships is the risk due to a lack of communication?In this episode, Jeff and Austin discuss: Using business to fulfill a higher purpose.Blessings and challenges of taking over a family business. Intentionally building your family business. Asking the questions and facilitating communication between generations.  Key Takeaways: Start with something small and let God grow it. You'll be amazed at what occurs when you look back. If you want to bring a child into the business with you, start to loop them in even before they're fully integrated into the company, allowing them to learn and grow. Family businesses will change from generation to generation as the world changes and evolves. What matters are the values and overall mission. Don't let the business separate the relationships between generations.   "Best practice, the transition is way more of a journey than an action. To make it smooth, there are so many facets to it that you have to think about ahead of time." —  Austin Ochs Episode References: HBR Family Business Handbook: amazon.com/Harvard-Business-Review-Family-Handbook/dp/1633699048About Austin Ochs: Austin Ochs is a devoted follower of Jesus, a husband, and a proud father of three boys.

What if your holiday stress wasn't about what's happening now—but about what your nervous system remembers? In this episode, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace unpack the neuroscience of the holidays, exploring how sensory cues like songs, smells, or family dynamics can reactivate old emotional patterns stored in the body. Together, they explain how neurotags—the networks of neurons linking memory, emotion, and physical response—shape our experience of the season and why this time of year can trigger emotional flashbacks or overwhelm. You'll learn how to recognize when the past is replaying through your nervous system, how cycles like circadian and seasonal rhythms affect capacity, and why rest is a biological need—not a luxury. The conversation moves from emotional regulation and boundaries to post-traumatic growth, exploring how slowing down and honoring natural rhythms can transform holiday survival into healing and integration. This episode offers neuroscience-backed practices to help you reclaim presence, build new associations with safety, and rewrite your nervous system's holiday story. Timestamps: 0:00 – Seasonal mismatch & why holidays strain the nervous system 2:43 – What are neurotags and how they shape holiday reactions 6:39 – Emotional flashbacks: the body's real-time state shifts 10:20 – Orientation and regulation tools for holiday triggers 12:26 – Boundaries as nervous system protection 18:19 – Honoring natural cycles: seasonal, menstrual, and circadian rhythms 27:30 – Post-traumatic growth through rest, reflection, and integration Key Takeaways: Neurotags explain why certain holiday cues can trigger powerful emotional and physical responses. Emotional flashbacks are not regressions—they're real-time nervous system shifts that can be regulated through awareness and sensory grounding. Setting boundaries is a form of nervous system protection, not disconnection. Seasonal, menstrual, and circadian rhythms all affect capacity—rest is a biological requirement for resilience. Post-traumatic growth happens in the pauses—through rest, orientation, and compassionate self-boundaries.

Welcome back to the Autism Little Learners Podcast! Today, we're talking about something that often gets overlooked when we think about AAC and autism—teaching and honoring protests. So often, AAC is used mostly for requesting items. But communication is about so much more. Autistic children need to know how to use their AAC systems for autism to say no, stop, don't like, all done, or help. In this episode, I'll share why honoring protest is essential, what the difference is between acknowledging and honoring protests, and how modeling protest words on AAC for autistic kids builds trust, reduces frustration, and empowers children with self-advocacy. I'll also walk you through the 8 Steps to Honor Protests—a simple framework you can start using right away in your classroom, therapy sessions, or at home. So let's dive in and discover why protest isn't just communication—it's empowerment. Takeaways:  AAC and autism go hand in hand—AAC should be used for more than requesting; it's for all communication. Protest is valid communication, not misbehavior. Honoring protests means changing, pausing, or stopping an activity when possible. Acknowledging protests means validating and empathizing, even if you can't change what's happening. AAC systems for autism should always include words for no, stop, don't like, all done, and different. Modeling protest words daily helps children learn how to set boundaries and self-advocate. Honoring protests builds trust and prevents escalation into meltdowns or shutdowns. Following the 8 Steps to Honor Protests shifts teams and families from compliance to connection.

On this week's episode I honor Jude Vasquez, a beloved soul who shockingly died at the age of 34 from a heart condition. My son, Wil considered Jude not only one of his closest friends, but his bonus sister. Wil took this stunning photo of Jude, his Silver Queen. I describe the unexpected blessings I received when I attended a Celebration of Life gathering for Jude at the Bushwick Flea Market. As Rumi says: "Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through, and be silent." Listen to the podcast to hear of all the small wonders I observed. Thank you, Jude, for reminding Wil that it is in feeding the hungry, comforting the sick and working for justice that we see the face of God. May we each observe the wonders that occur around us, even in unexpected places. May we feel the artistry moving through and be silent.  Enjoy the podcast!

Feeling like we don't have enough, Or worrying about how it's flowing in our lives.  PAUSE… But it's so important to focus on appreciating our money, Honoring what we do have, And feeling intense gratitude for what it does for us right now.  So invite yourself to settle in, And come into a place of comfort.  PAUSE… Feel a wave of calm, Pour over your head, Down your face, Onto your shoulders. Into your chest and heart, Down your arms, Your belly, And your legs.  Join our Premium Sleep for Women Channel on Apple Podcasts and get ALL 5 of our Sleep podcasts completely ad-free!
