Dear boss babe — we need to talk. ... Because no one warns you how chasing funding can quietly drain the very energy you need to build your dream. If you've ever refreshed your inbox waiting for an investor's “yes” or felt your worth tied to a dollar amount, this episode is your reset button. Today I get real about the emotional side of fundraising — the burnout, the rejection loops, and the quiet self-doubt that creeps in between investor calls. I open up about her own journey raising money for Silkenn and how I have learned that capital isn't the only thing worth chasing. You'll hear my powerful framework for protecting your energy while still playing big — what she calls your “Energetic ROI.” Because when the process feels heavy, it's not about giving up; it's about learning to align. This isn't just a fundraising strategy session — it's a reminder that protecting your peace is leadership, and rest is part of the work, too. Key Takeaways: How to spot burnout early when you're in fundraising mode Why your value doesn't fluctuate with the size of the check What it means to measure success by alignment, not approval How to turn rejections into redirection Ericka's go-to mindset practices for staying grounded while pitching

In this powerful episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I sit down with former MMA coach and mindset expert, Patrick Sebastien, to explore the art of mental toughness — both inside and outside the ropes.  Drawing from years in the fight world and his work with elite golfers, Patrick unpacks how adversity, flow states, and physical intensity combine to build unshakable confidence and resilience on the golf course. You'll learn how to intentionally seek and use adversity to your advantage, train like an athlete to improve emotional control under pressure, and create your own blueprint for peak performance. Patrick and I dive deep into visualization, breathwork, and post-round reflection as essential tools to develop composure, focus, and self-belief when the stakes are high. In this episode, you'll learn: How to reframe adversity as opportunity and bounce back fast after a blow-up hole (or business setback). Why flow states require struggle first, and how to use challenge to trigger "the zone." A simple gym-to-course formula: create controlled physical stress, then regulate it with breath so pressure feels familiar on the tee. The breath training + visualization sequence Patrick uses pre-round to build calm, focus, and confidence. How to design on-course pressure reps (mini challenges) so tournaments feel like just another rep. How an identity shift ("I am an athlete") unlocks consistency, intensity, and faster scoring gains. The expect/accept model: expect greatness, accept imperfection, and re-engage on the next shot. Ways to calibrate your arousal level (not too calm, not too hyped) to hit your personal performance sweet spot. Whether you're chasing a club championship or your next business milestone, this episode will help you expect greatness — and perform like it. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here.

Adversity creates flow; no struggle, no growth. Great players train adversity before they face it. Physical stress builds emotional control. Fitness isn't optional—it's a performance multiplier. Breathwork bridges chaos and composure. Journaling post-round accelerates learning and awareness. You can't control results—but you can always control your process. Expect greatness, but accept imperfection. Visualization isn't fantasy—it's mental reps for success. Meditation sharpens calm, control, and clarity under pressure. True athletes embrace discomfort and keep expanding their limits. A champion's mindset is forged in the gym before it's displayed on the course. Key Quotes: Adversity is a wake-up call. It's fuel, not failure. Flow only exists because of struggle. Train hard, fight easy. The harder your training, the easier your performance. Physical stress and mental stress present the same way. Learn to master one, and you master both. If you never fail, you're probably not trying hard enough. Expect greatness while accepting less than greatness. The further I went in martial arts, the more peaceful I became. You can't control what the course throws at you, but you can control how you respond. Golfers don't need to become bodybuilders—they need to become athletes. If you don't expect greatness, how will you ever achieve it? The champion's mindset is earned in the gym before it's displayed on the course.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, explores what happens when the job that once gave you purpose, structure, belonging, and identity (Amazon Affiliate) is suddenly gone. Whether retirement was planned, forced, medical, or accelerated by burnout — the emotional fallout can feel like a quiet identity collapse.

This episode helps make sense of that experience — and offers a path to rebuild identity that isn't dependent on the uniform.

After nearly 400 conversations with Olympians, Paralympians, and trailblazing women athletes from 55 countries, one thing is clear: no two stories are alike.

In Part 2 of our conversation, Apostle TG Gardner unpacks one of the most misunderstood topics in the prophetic journey: "What's the difference between identity and destiny?"

Apostle Gardner breaks down how knowing your spiritual identity shapes your destiny—and why purpose without healing leads to burnout, confusion, and compromise. If you've been striving to "find your purpose," this episode will bring prophetic clarity to the connection between who you are and what you're called to do.

Let's be honest — if our politicians really wanted housing to be affordable, it would be by now. They've had decades to fix it. There have been inquiries, commissions, roundtables, and billions thrown at so-called "affordability schemes." And yet, what do we have? Record house prices, record rents, and a generation of young Aussies wondering if they'll ever own a home. Maybe — just maybe — that's not an accident. In today's Big Picture episode, Ken Raiss and I unpack why the housing affordability crisis isn't a policy failure... it's the system working exactly as designed.

LESSON 309I Will Not Fear To Look Within Today.Within me is Eternal Innocence, because it is God's Will that It be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His Own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my will as God created it, and as it is. I fear to look within because I think I made another will that is not true, and made it real. Yet it has no effects. Within me is the holiness of God. Within me is the memory of Him.The step I take today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin. Your altar stands serene and undefiled. It is the holy altar to my Self, and there I find my true Identity.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this episode, we trace how the horse-head fiddle has evolved in the People's Republic of China — from a traditional steppe instrument to a cultural symbol reshaped through state representation and modern performance. We discuss how it is made, taught, and performed in China, how it is portrayed in Chinese institutions, and how young Mongols today engage with the instrument as a way to express identity, creativity, and belonging in contemporary China. Our guest, Ying Song from Zhejiang University, is a PhD candidate in sociology whose research focuses on the horse-head fiddle and its role in shaping Mongolian identity. Beyond academia, she has also curated cultural exhibitions and organized numerous Mongolian music-sharing events, which you can find in the link below. Ning Ao is a PhD student at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies (ACE) at Lund University. Her research looks at generational differences among Chinese Mongols.

Join Gina and Erica as they talk through a new series on our Identity in Christ. Today's episode focuses on being Gods Masterpiece.

In Part 2 of our conversation, Apostle TG Gardner unpacks one of the most misunderstood topics in the prophetic journey: "What's the difference between identity and destiny?" Too many believers chase destiny while neglecting identity. But when you don't know who you are, what you do will eventually destroy you. Apostle Gardner breaks down how knowing your spiritual identity shapes your destiny—and why purpose without healing leads to burnout, confusion, and compromise. If you've been striving to "find your purpose," this episode will bring prophetic clarity to the connection between who you are and what you're called to do.

In this episode, I'm joined by Kristy Medwed, the woman behind Brave Mamas and a fierce advocate for real, grounded support for mothers. Kristy brings the kind of honesty that makes you exhale. We talked about the messy middle of motherhood, the moments that break us open, and the kind of community that helps us rise again. Kristy didn't step into this work from theory, she lived it. After postpartum depression, anxiety, and the quiet rage and overwhelm so many mothers know but rarely name, she found herself isolated and questioning whether she was meant for motherhood at all. A WhatsApp support group opened her eyes to the power and pitfalls of mom communities, and ultimately pushed her to create something new: a psychologically safe space for mothers to be seen, heard, and resourced. We explored what mothers really need, not advice, not perfection, but belonging, shared wisdom, and someone to witness them in their becoming. Kristy speaks candidly about resentment, the default parent load, the courage it takes to ask for help, and how brave it is simply to show up as a mother in a world that still expects us to do it all, quietly and alone. This conversation is a reminder that mothers don't need to earn support, they deserve it. And when women gather, reflect, and hold each other with care, they don't just survive motherhood, they rise inside of it.

First full week of programming in the grey month of November, and I hope you all had a pleasant Halloween weekend. Tonight we're going to be talking about some news and thoughts from the weekend. We'll be tying together some very promising articles about youth trends that indicate more boys and girls are course-correcting away from progressive meddling, and other in-school trends seem to confirm that much of the identity issues of the last 15 years have been the temporary social contagion we always said it was. Greg Carlwood of The Higherside Chats https://linktr.ee/HighersideChats will be popping in for a little bit in the second half to share his thoughts, and preview a spooky little show we're going to do together next month!

In this episode, we discuss vacuum espionage, election polling, voter bias, and the persistence of the “hidden Republican” phenomenon, before turning to the Foolishness of the Week on Barack Obama's shifting racial politics. We then speak with historian David Beito, author of FDR: A New Political Life, about Franklin D. Roosevelt's lasting impact on American governance. We examine how FDR reshaped the federal government through progressivism, centralized planning, and the expansion of executive power, connecting his presidency to modern debates over welfare, economic rights, and political authority. We also explore the contradictions of FDR's leadership, his charisma and pragmatism alongside his willingness to suppress dissent, and how his policies continue to influence government and public trust today. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:53 The Smart Vacuum That Spied 04:25 Off-Year Elections in California and New York 06:55 Polling Bias and the Hidden Republican Vote 09:15 Foolishness of the Week: Barack Obama 10:21 Race, Identity, and Political Opportunism 15:36 Guest Introduction: Historian David Beito 16:58 Debunking the FDR Myth 18:20 FDR's Progressive Ideology and Power Mindset 26:45 Central Planning and the New Deal 29:09 Comparing FDR to Modern Presidents 31:09 What If FDR Hadn't Died in Office? 34:53 FDR's Second Bill of Rights 40:18 Why the Great Depression Lasted Longer in America 43:24 FDR's Legacy of Surveillance and Bureaucracy 48:10 Emergency Powers and Modern Parallels 52:26 Closing Reflections and Book Plug Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you showing up as your full, authentic self or just the version you think others expect?Authenticity isn't a matter of oversharing or saying whatever's on your mind. It's about honesty balanced with humility and vulnerability, the kind that builds genuine trust and stronger teams.Thankfully, today's guest brings both experience and expertise to this conversation. Mike Robbins is the author of five books, including Bring Your Whole Self to Work and his latest, We're All In This Together.

Mike shares his “authenticity equation” and practical ways managers can model openness without crossing professional boundaries.In the extended conversation, Mike delves deeper into the art of authentic appreciation, why most people are uncomfortable receiving praise, how to cultivate a culture of gratitude on your team, and the key distinction between appreciation and recognition.

“Do what is good and run from evil so that you may live! Then the Lord God of Heaven's Armies will be your helper, just as you have claimed. Hate evil and love what is good; turn your courts into true halls of justice. Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Heaven's Armies will have mercy on the remnant of his people.” - Amos 5:14-15The book of Amos has a bit of a reputation. It's not known for being the most fun of the minor prophets. It doesn't pop up in many sermons, you don't see many Bible studies focused on it. There are many reasons why this is the case. Amos is a harsh book - he doesn't hold back on what he has to say. In chapter 8 it says, “The Lord said, ‘Like this fruit, Israel is ripe for punishment! I will not delay their punishment again. In that day the singing in the Temple will turn to wailing. Dead bodies will be scattered everywhere. They will be carried out of the city in silence.'” Again . . . not the most fun read. However, the true heart of the book of Amos is an incredibly important message about how you view God. It's a book about justice. It's a book about repentance. It's a book about the true heart of worship. To help us navigate the book of Amos is Dr. Danny Carroll, Scripture Press Ministries Professor of Biblical Studies at Wheaton College. Danny has studied, taught, and written about Amos for decades, including writing some commentaries on the book. Today he'll explain why Amos has captured his attention for so long, why it's such a unique book in the prophets, and how the church, particularly in America, should pay extra attention to its warnings.Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

We go deep with Phillip Johnson Richardson on the real stuff behind a Broadway glow up. He opens up about being a young Black man showing vulnerability onstage, the pressure to be perfect, and how identity, belonging, and mental health shape the work. We talk about choosing when to step away, the cost of staying, and the tools he uses to keep his center steady when the noise gets loud. Quick heads up: if you hear a low rumble while I am speaking, that was the rain hammering the studio during our recording. We also get into the creative process behind his original music, the difference between chasing applause and building a life that feels true, and the practical ways performers make it work in New York. If you want to see him live, his final performance in Hell's Kitchen is November 30. This one is candid, grounded, and full of takeaways you can actually use. Phillip Johnson Richardson is an actor and musician whose Broadway credits include Hell's Kitchen as Knuck and the recent revival of The Wiz as the Tin Man. On screen, audiences have seen him in projects like Sharper, Little Voice, The Last O.G., Chicago P.D., Proven Innocent, and The Other Two. He writes and records original music and continues to build a multi hyphenate career across stage, film, television, and the studio.

Bert Kreischer celebrates turning 53 the only way he knows how — by spiraling into an existential and hilarious conversation with comedian and cosmic philosopher Duncan Trussell. From tales of Bigfoot and testicular cancer to deep dives on AI, death, main character syndrome, and whether any of us are even real, this episode swings from absurd to profound faster than Bert can take his shirt off. Duncan and Bert talk about everything — mortality, digital immortality, the illusion of self, performative living, and how comedy might be the purest form of chaos magic. Along the way, they share stories about Joe Rogan, Freddy Soto, and the strange spiritual beauty of making people laugh. There's even a surprisingly thoughtful discussion about funerals, cruises, and the philosophy of “carpe diem.” Bert also reveals the truth about his infamous cruise (yes, the vodka shortage is real), his daughter's fandom for Duncan, and why thumbnail culture might have “ruined podcasting.” Duncan, meanwhile, breaks Bert's brain more than once with talk of Roko's Basilisk, reincarnation, and smiling on the way to the gallows — all while making it sound like the funniest TED Talk you've ever heard. If you've ever wondered why we laugh at tragedy, why people live like they're being filmed, or if you might just be an AI simulation of yourself — this is the episode for you. 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 313 https://tomsegura.com/tour https://www.bertbertbert.com/tour https://store.ymhstudios.com Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:43 - Death Plans & Bigfoot's Balls 00:03:59 - AI, Immortality & Roko's Basilisk 00:07:02 - Main Character Syndrome 00:14:54 - Comedy, Therapy & Freddie Soto 00:17:10 - Hail Satan & The Disney Adult Disaster 00:22:46 - Loving Your Fans & Bert's Cruise of Chaos 00:33:07 - Performative Life & The Polar Plunge Moment 00:41:50 - Are You Really You?
