What if the loss you're carrying doesn't have a name — no death, no disaster, just a quiet, persistent ache that something was always missing? In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll look at Gate Four of our grief series: What We Expected But Did Not Receive. Drawing from Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow, we'll explore the grief that comes from never being fully welcomed, seen, or celebrated for exactly who you are — a loss so subtle it often masquerades as personal failure. This episode offers a deeply compassionate and scientifically grounded look at why so many of us feel vaguely unfulfilled and how we can actually do something about it. Spoiler: it starts with grieving what you were owed. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYIn 2026's 'forever layoff' era, women leaders who master continuous improvement leadership outperform peers, reduce their layoff risk, and accelerate promotions. Olaf Boettger's 27-year Kaizen framework — courage, humility, discipline — turns daily small improvements into extraordinary career results.Key stat: Toyota workers are 2x more productive than competitors using this same system.? QUICK TAKEAWAYS•       Continuous improvement leadership doubles your career productivity vs. peers who stop learning•       The 3 capabilities every woman leader needs: courage to name problems, humility to keep learning, discipline to stay consistent•       Kaizen's daily 15-minute team meeting is directly applicable to your own career self-management•       GE's turnaround under Larry Culp proves CI works in any industry — finance, tech, healthcare, or your own career•       In 2026's 'forever layoff' climate, CI skills signal indispensable strategic value to any organizationIf you're a woman leader in 2026, the job market has changed dramatically — and not in your favor. Glassdoor's Worklife Trends report calls it the 'forever layoff': small, rolling cuts that never make headlines but keep talented executives in a constant state of anxiety. Meanwhile, AI is reshaping roles at every level, and the competition for standout positions has never been fiercer.As an executive coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast — ranked in the top 1.5% globally with over 750,000 downloads — I've interviewed more than 144 of the world's top leadership experts. When I heard Olaf Boettger's approach to continuous improvement leadership, I immediately knew this was the missing framework most women leaders had never considered.Olaf spent 27 years at Procter & Gamble and Danaher — two of the most operationally excellent companies on earth — mastering the Japanese Kaizen philosophy. What he discovered translates directly to career acceleration: the same system that doubled Toyota's worker productivity and powered GE's biggest turnaround in American history can supercharge your leadership brand and make you the candidate no one can afford to pass over. The 2026 Career Reality: Why 'Working Hard' Is No Longer Enough The data is sobering for women leaders right now. According to Glassdoor's 2025 Workplace Trends report, small layoffs — under 50 people — now represent 51% of all job cuts, up from just 38% in 2015. These 'forever layoffs' create cultures of anxiety where talented women question their value daily.At the same time, female manager engagement dropped seven percentage points in 2025 alone — the steepest decline of any group, according to Gallup research. Women leaders are being asked to do more with less, carrying teams through AI disruption and RTO mandates, while their own career advancement stalls.The traditional answer — work harder, be more visible, volunteer for every high-profile project — simply isn't scaling. In a market where 45% of employers rate the job outlook as 'fair' at best, you need a completely different strategy. You need continuous improvement leadership. ?

GET YOUR FREE LEADERSHIP BRANDING BLUEPRINT ACCELERATOR What Is Continuous Improvement Leadership? The Kaizen Framework Explained Continuous improvement — known in Japanese as Kaizen, meaning 'change for the better' — originated at Toyota nearly 90 years ago. After World War II, with limited resources and a need to compete globally, Toyota developed a system to extract maximum quality and efficiency from every process. That system, now called the Toyota Production System, became the foundation of what we know as Lean, Six Sigma, and the Danaher Business System.For women leaders, continuous improvement leadership means applying these same principles to your career, your team, and your organization. It is not a one-time initiative or a January resolution. It is a daily practice — a permanent operating system.The Three Foundation PrinciplesOlaf distills continuous improvement leadership into three core principles:Kaizen — The belief that there is always a better way. This is not about being self-critical; it is about being growth-oriented. Every interaction, presentation, and leadership decision is an opportunity to iterate and improve.Go to Gemba — Go to the real place. Stop relying on slide decks and secondhand reports. As a leader, this means visiting your stakeholders, understanding what your team actually experiences day-to-day, and staying close to the work that creates value.Customer focus — Always anchor to what your 'customer' values. In a career context, your customers are your executive stakeholders, your team, and the business outcomes you're hired to deliver. Everything you do should be filtered through: does this add value for them?The Three Capabilities That Determine SuccessAccording to Olaf, your mindset determines everything. Leaders who succeed with continuous improvement possess three non-negotiable capabilities:CapabilityWhat It Looks Like in PracticeWhy Women Leaders Need It NowCOURAGEHonestly naming when your performance or your team's is 'red' — even when the culture rewards positivity over truth.In 2026's performance-pressured environment, leaders who surface problems first are seen as strategic — not weak.HUMILITYStaying open to learning regardless of your experience level. As Olaf says: the best leaders he's known, including P&G's CEO A.G. Lafley, were the most humble.Imposter syndrome tempts women to prove they already know everything. Humility is the counterintuitive superpower.DISCIPLINEShowing up for improvement consistently — not just in January. Committing to the decade, not the quarter.Career advancement compounds. The women who stand out in 2026 are those who have been quietly improving for years. The Business Case: What Continuous Improvement Leadership Actually Delivers For skeptics — and Olaf acknowledges that many leaders initially resist this approach — the numbers make a compelling argument. Toyota, the originator of this system, generates roughly twice the revenue per employee compared to its nearest competitors. Danaher, where Olaf spent the bulk of his career, has sustained approximately 15–16% compound annual growth for 40 consecutive years.The most visible example is GE's transformation under Larry Culp — the former Danaher CEO who took over when GE was in deep financial trouble. Using continuous improvement as the operating backbone, Culp and his teams executed what many consider one of the greatest corporate turnarounds in American business history, eventually splitting GE into three highly successful independent companies.On a practical level, Olaf shared a specific case study from a Danaher acquisition: a company delivering orders on time just 50% of the time. Using CI methodologies, that number rose to 95%. For context, if Amazon delivered your packages on time half the time, you'd stop using Amazon. A 45-percentage-point improvement is not incremental — it's transformational. TRY THIS NOW (10 Minutes)Apply Olaf's Red/Green method to your career right now: Identify one goal you have for your career this quarter (promotion, salary increase, high-visibility project).Set a specific target. Write your current actual. Color code it: are you green (on track) or red (below target)? If red — write one sentence explaining why.Then write one action you will take this week to close the gap. That's continuous improvement leadership in action. Do this every Monday.  How to Apply Continuous Improvement Leadership to Your Career in 2026 The beauty of Kaizen is that it scales from a Toyota factory floor to your personal career strategy. Here's how to translate Olaf's framework into your daily leadership practice:The 15-Minute Daily Leadership HuddleAt every Danaher facility, teams hold a 15-minute standing meeting every morning. They review five metrics — safety, quality, delivery, inventory, productivity — and ask: are we red or green? If red, why? Who does what by when?For your career, your five metrics might be: stakeholder relationships, project delivery, skill development, visibility, and team performance. A daily or weekly 10-minute self-check asking those same questions creates the discipline of continuous improvement at the individual level.Visual Management for Your CareerOlaf emphasizes making performance visible. In organizations, this means color-coded boards. For your career, this translates to maintaining a simple achievement tracker — a running document of your wins, metrics, and impact — that you review weekly. This directly feeds your Leadership Branding Blueprint and becomes the evidence base for promotion conversations.The Growth Mindset + Kaizen ConnectionOlaf's PhD research connected him deeply to Carol Dweck's work on fixed vs. growth mindsets. Dweck's research demonstrates that individuals who believe abilities can be developed through dedication consistently outperform those who believe talent is fixed. Continuous improvement is the operational expression of growth mindset — it gives you the system that turns that belief into measurable career results.

While financial ROI is often easy to calculate, the value of learning, proximity, and personal growth is far less measurable—and potentially unlimited.

In this episode of the Travel Agent Achievers Podcast, Ros is joined by Christine Corcoran, confidence coach and best-selling author of Turn Impostor Syndrome into Your Superpower. Together, they explore why imposter syndrome shows up so strongly for experienced professionals, particularly travel advisors navigating pricing conversations, client objections, leadership and growth. Rather than trying to eliminate fear, Christine reframes imposter syndrome as a signal that you are stretching beyond your comfort zone. This episode dives into the role language plays in confidence, how fear is wired into the brain, and why confidence often comes after action, not before it. This is not about selling harder. It's about holding your value, trusting your expertise, and choosing growth over fear. In this episode: Why imposter syndrome often means you are growing How fear shows up in pricing and sales conversations The power of language in shaping confidence and decisions Why self-trust is built through evidence, not perfection How to reframe fear without becoming louder or more salesy Find the full episode details and show notes here:

Imposter syndrome is something we talk about constantly in veterinary medicine — but what if we've been thinking about it all wrong? In this episode of Choose People Love Pets, Dr. Brianna Armstrong and Phoebe Valdez explore a powerful reframe: what if imposter syndrome isn't a sign that you don't belong… but evidence that you're growing? Through personal stories — including Brianna's experience pitching her veterinary startup Skye Paws while still in vet school — they unpack how discomfort, self-doubt, and even anxiety often appear at the exact moments when identity expansion and leadership growth are happening. Together, they introduce the idea of “growth syndrome” — a framework for understanding why high-achievers and veterinary professionals often feel like imposters when stepping into new roles, leadership opportunities, or unfamiliar challenges. If you've ever wondered: “Do I actually belong here?” “What if they find out I don't know what I'm doing?” “Why does growth feel so uncomfortable?” This conversation offers a new perspective — and practical tools to help you reframe the experience. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why imposter syndrome may actually be a sign of growth The story behind Skye Paws and navigating first-time visibility How veterinary training shapes our relationship with competence and confidence The three elements of “growth syndrome”: Novelty Visibility Identity expansion Why waiting to feel ready keeps us stuck How to build confidence by trusting yourself through growth Practical strategies for navigating high-stakes new experiences Key Takeaways Confidence does not come before action — it comes from action. You don't feel like an imposter when you stay small. Growth often feels uncomfortable because your identity is expanding faster than your evidence. Leadership requires becoming a beginner again. Follow for more:  FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556480229406&mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠  IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/choosepeoplelovepets?igsh=MTVzZjc4ZHE4MWd2NQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr⁠  LI: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/choose-people-love-pets/⁠

I dive into a challenge experienced by nearly 70% of people: imposter syndrome - that persistent feeling that your success isn't deserved or that you'll be “found out.”I explain how our brains resist change and why transitions in midlife can trigger insecurity, perfectionism, and feelings of unworthiness, especially for high-achieving women stepping into new roles or redefining their purpose after 40 or 50.In this conversation, I share:Why imposter syndrome often affects successful womenHow perfectionism and low self-esteem fuel feelings of inadequacyThe link between midlife transitions, menopause, identity shifts, and confidence5 powerful affirmations to reprogram negative self-talk7 practical strategies to overcome self-doubt and reclaim self-worthHow to separate feelings from facts and challenge limiting beliefsWhy wisdom, resilience, and confidence deepen in midlifeI encourage you to embrace your evolving identity, honor the life experience you've gained, and recognize that your skills, wisdom, and purpose remain powerful in every new season.Midlife is not a decline; it is a transformation filled with clarity, courage, and renewed purpose.If you are navigating change, rediscovering your voice, or learning to silence self-doubt, this episode will help you trust your journey and live bravely in midlife.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro2:27 - What is imposter syndrome?3:28 - 5 affirmations you need in midlife5:19 - The meaning behind feeling like a “fraud”6:42 - Who experiences imposter syndrome the most9:10 - How imposter syndrome manifests11:08 - The psychology behind imposter syndrome13:11 - How aging, menopause, and life transitions can trigger self-doubt15:18 - 7 ways to overcome imposter syndrome22:13 - How to take actionQuotations:“Change is certain, but the brain resists it.

There's a version of pain nobody talks about—the quiet, grinding kind that shows up when you're building from nothing. In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, entrepreneur Chris McManus shares what “pushing through the pain” actually looks like behind the scenes. This episode is for founders, builders, and high-responsibility people carrying more than others realize. You'll hear how pressure evolves as success grows, why identity can trap you, and what it takes to stay steady—without burning out or becoming harsh with yourself. About the Guest: Chris McManus is an entrepreneur based in North Carolina. He grew a landscaping business into a multi-seven-figure company in seven years, starting right out of high school, while also building in real estate and retail. Episode Chapter: 00:01 — What “pushing through pain” really means 00:03 — Pain as dissatisfaction and frustration 00:04 — Why scaling makes problems bigger, not smaller 00:07 — Detaching identity from the business 00:09 — Control, delegation, and working on the business 00:10 — Imposter syndrome and learning to quiet the loud voice 00:13 — Burnout, self-care, and the long-game mindset Key Takeaways: Pain doesn't end with success—it changes shape, and you build capacity to handle it. Separate your identity from your business so you can make clearer decisions. Hire or train people to solve what you can't—control can become your biggest bottleneck. When impostor thoughts get loud, zoom out and track what you've already built. Discipline matters, but neglecting yourself eventually costs you focus and joy. Respond to setbacks with a breath + a plan, not anger—and don't carry it into tomorrow.

An Imposter Party - Exodus 14:1-31Preached by Kevin Chen

AI isn't coming.It's here.And whether you're using it or avoiding it… it's already shaping your life.In Episode 83, Drew and Jimmy have a grounded, real-world conversation about artificial intelligence — cutting through the fear, hype, and sci-fi narratives to ask a simple question:Is AI a tool… a trap… or the next leap in human evolution?From dismissing it as “Google on steroids” to realizing it's already integrated into email, marketing, business strategy, and daily life — this episode walks through the awakening.They break down:Why AI is comparable to the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the internetHow avoiding it could put you at a disadvantageThe real risk of over-reliance and cognitive lazinessAI as predictive modeling — not consciousness (yet)Imposter syndrome when using AI creativelyDeepfakes, misinformation, and the responsibility of discernmentWhy AI is only as powerful as the intention behind your promptsThis isn't fear-based doom talk.It's about awareness.AI will not replace your consciousness.But it will amplify your inputs.If you feed it fear, it will reflect fear.If you feed it clarity, it will refine clarity.The question isn't whether AI is good or bad.The question is:Will you use it consciously — or be shaped by it unconsciously?

“Your feelings are real, but they're not reliable.” From Exodus 3, we're reminded that God calls ordinary people into extraordinary purpose. Even when insecurity, fear, and impostor syndrome try to speak louder than His voice. Just like Moses, we often make excuses: Who am I? I'm not enough. I don't know enough. What if I fail? I can't do this. But God isn't looking for perfection He's looking for surrender. He doesn't need our confidence, our eloquence, or our qualifications. He wants our obedience. Sometimes the very thing standing between us and God's calling is what we refuse to lay down. When God says “take off your shoes,” He's asking us to remove whatever separates us from Him: sin, fear, pride, insecurity, or control. God doesn't just send us, He goes with us. His presence leads. His name empowers. His promises sustain. His power makes the impossible possible. You are called. You are chosen. You are sent. Not because you're enough, but because He is.

We talk about: • Turning anxiety into productivity   • Imposter syndrome in the voice over industry   • Why most VO websites are built wrong   • SEO vs GEO — what matters now   • Case studies, niche pages, and FAQ strategy   • LinkedIn Premium — is it worth it?   • Designing your site for buyers, not other voice actors   If you're serious about building a voice over business that attracts better clients, this episode is required listening.

In Part 2 of The Lonely Artist series, we move from isolation into connection. We talk about what it really means to grow as an artist — not just technically, but emotionally and professionally. How do you find your tribe? What if workshops aren't for you? How do you continue learning when you feel unsure or stuck? We explore: • How to grow as an artist at your own pace • Finding and building creative community • Imposter syndrome and how it quietly shapes our confidence • Why workshops aren't the only path forward • Pursuing your creative journey in a way that feels sustainable • Looking for meaningful creative support • Women in watercolor and shared experience • The realities of marketing yourself as an artist If you've ever felt like you're doing this alone, this conversation is for you. You don't have to stop painting just because you feel unsure. You don't have to follow someone else's path. And you don't have to grow alone.

You know that strange, disoriented feeling when you've accomplished so much… and yet you know there's more? Not burnout. Not failure. Not dissatisfaction. But that subtle, unsettling identity shift that happens when you're stepping into your next level. In this episode, we're talking about reinvention — not the glossy, Instagram version — but the psychological shift that happens when you move from who you've been known for… into who you're becoming. Because here's the truth: imposter syndrome hits differently during reinvention. Not because you're unqualified. But because you're not fluent yet in the next version of you. We unpack: Why identity work always lags behind growth The grief that quietly shows up when you release a former version of yourself Why women tie worth to mastery (and how that keeps us stuck) How hustle culture makes reinvention harder than it needs to be Why community shortens the imposter syndrome phase How to create a "bridge identity" while you step into your next chapter Why belonging is claimed — not earned If you've been thinking: "Do I still belong here?" "Am I too late?" "Who am I to talk about this?" "Did I miss my window?" This episode is for you. You're not behind. You're not lost. You're becoming. And you don't have to reinvent alone.   Resources Mentioned In The Episode: Join the Free Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/linkedinsuccesstips  Learn more about The Visibility Salon: https://visibilitysalon.com   Magical Quotes From The Episode: "You're not uncomfortable because you're incapable.

Self-doubt, imposter syndrome, fear of visibility,  for many women, these aren't small mindset hurdles. They're the invisible blocks that keep powerful stories unwritten and important voices unheard.In this week's episode of Uncomplicate It, I sit down with Nancy Marriott, writing coach, developmental editor, and co-author of the bestselling Molecules of Emotion. For nearly three decades, Nancy has helped women move from hesitation to authorship, guiding them through the internal resistance that shows up the moment they decide to play bigger.This conversation is part cultural unpacking, part mindset shift, and part practical roadmap for any woman who feels called to write… but keeps questioning whether she's “ready.”We dig into:Why imposter syndrome shows up so strongly for womenThe cultural conditioning that teaches women to stay smallTall poppy syndrome and the backlash that can come with standing outThe subtle language shift (from “we” to “you”) that transforms authority in writingWhy publishing a book instantly positions you as an authorityThe difference between fear of failure and fear of visibilityWhy commitment breaks self-doubt faster than confidence ever willHow to use AI as a tool without losing your authentic voiceWhy waiting until you feel ready is the real trapHow storytelling builds credibility, connection, and trustKey Takeaways:There's no such thing as “a writer”, only people brave enough to express their truthAuthority isn't given.

The man accused of writing an “imposter” ransom note to the Nancy Guthrie family was released from federal custody on Thursday. Derrick Callella appeared in federal court on one count of intent to transmit a ransom demand and one count of utilizing a telecommunications device to anonymously abuse, threaten or harass a person. TMZ just received a third email from the man who claims he knows the identity of Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper ... and he has upped his price. The email says he's contacting TMZ because he doesn't trust law enforcement. He's essentially using TMZ as an intermediary, telling authorities -- you don't trust me, and I don't trust you.

Imposter syndrome isn't always about not being good enough. Sometimes it's about believing: “If I don't know everything, I won't be safe.”For some of us, the way we survived this stage was by becoming “the smart one.” High-achieving. High-performing. Teacher-approved. If your identity becomes “the smart one,” then not knowing something becomes dangerous.In this episode, Caitlin continues their deep dive into Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages of development and land squarely in Stage 4: Industry vs. Inferiority. This is the school-age stage. Roughly ages 5–12. The era of gold stars, spelling tests, group projects, comparison, praise, shame… and the moment many neurodivergent kids begin to feel different in ways they don't yet have language for!

My guest this week is Steven Salvatore, author of young adult romances like And They Lived…, No Perfect Places, and When Love Gives You Lemons. Steven's plan, when he was younger, was to be an artist… until a cruel art teacher crushed his dreams. But that set the stage for him to discover a passion for writing, and for exploring stories about young queer people in love.We'll have that interview in a moment. First a quick heads up that I'm planning a European book tour this spring and summer, where I'll be reading from my book Hi Honey I'm Homo!, as well as sharing clips from classic queer sitcom episodes. Plans for that are still coming together. But if you or someone you know is connected to a bookstore, university, community group, or any other organization in Europe that would like to collaborate on a book event in May or June of 2026, please get in touch so I can try to make it happen!

Multiple ransom notes. A confirmed imposter. A family offering six million in Bitcoin. And absolute silence from whoever may have taken Nancy Guthrie. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to walk through what is actually happening in this case nine days after Nancy vanished from her Catalina Foothills home — and why the ransom situation may already be beyond salvageable for investigators.Ransom notes demanding millions in Bitcoin were sent to TMZ, KOLD, and KGUN. Harvey Levin confirmed the wallet address is real and called the note carefully crafted. But a man in Los Angeles was arrested for sending imposter texts to the Guthrie family referencing the same Bitcoin demand. A second email arrived at KOLD from a different IP using the same anonymous server type. Motta explains what happens to an investigation when the ransom channel has been infiltrated by copycats and the real signal is buried in noise.The family has posted four videos on Instagram — each more desperate than the last. They started asking for proof of life. They are now saying they are at an hour of desperation. CNN's Andrew McCabe says the tone suggests no contact has been made. Motta breaks down what the escalation in those videos and the complete absence of any response tells us about the reality of this case.President Trump told reporters Friday that investigators have "very strong clues" and that a "solution" — not a search — may be coming from DOJ or FBI. Motta explains what it means when a sitting president starts publicly narrating the trajectory of an active investigation.The family has offered to pay the full six-million-dollar ransom. The FBI says the call is theirs. Motta walks through Bitcoin traceability, whether the payment becomes evidence, and what the FBI's reward language — "and/or the arrest and conviction" — reveals about how this case is being framed behind closed doors.#NancyGuthrie #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #RansomNotes #BitcoinRansom #GuthrieFamily #FBIReward #TrumpGuthrie #RansomImposter #CatalinaFoothillsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In Part 2 of this in-depth conversation, Sarah Jeanneault and Dwayne Kerrigan tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in modern business: AI implementation without foundational process.Drawing from Sarah's background in education, finance, trading psychology, and her current role at ProcedureFlow, the discussion reframes AI not as a silver bullet—but as an amplifier of whatever already exists inside an organization. Together, they explore why many companies are failing to see ROI from AI investments, how skipping SOPs and governance creates chaos, and why leaders must slow down before they scale up.Using powerful metaphors—from sourdough baking to mountain biking—Sarah explains why meaningful AI adoption requires patience, critical thinking, and uncomfortable conversations. The episode also expands into leadership, parenting, culture-building, and the human elements AI will never replace: empathy, judgment, and connection. This is a grounded, honest conversation for leaders who want to use AI responsibly—without gambling their business on hype.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Sarah introduces AI implementation using a sourdough recipe analogy01:00 – Dwayne welcomes listeners and frames Part 202:00 – Imposter syndrome, fear, and language we use to protect ourselves05:00 – Growth mindset and the “10 more steps” principle08:00 – Parenting, resilience, and building long-term capability12:00 – Leadership, culture, and why hard conversations matter16:00 – Why AI investments often fail to produce ROI20:00 – SOPs, governance, and backing the bus up 25:00 – Customer experience, AI chatbots, and human frustration 30:00 – Agentic AI, avatars, and future customer service models 35:00 – Why AI is already here and cannot be undone 40:00 – Doom scrolling, humanity, and preserving curiosity46:00 – Data collection as preparation—not prediction53:00 – Visual flows and simplifying complex knowledge59:00 – AI timelines, human choice, and optionality 01:05:00 – Where AI helps—and where it shouldn't replace humans 01:10:00 – Final reflections and resourcesKey Takeaways:AI amplifies broken systems, it doesn't fix themSOPs, processes, and governance must come before automationROI fails when AI is implemented for optics instead of outcomesProcess clarity enables both humans and AI to perform betterNot every industry, or company, is ready for AI at the same paceData collection today enables smarter AI decisions tomorrowAI should augment human judgment, not replace itThe future still belongs to human connection, empathy, and choiceResources Mentioned:ProcedureFlow – Enterprise knowledge management platform - https://procedureflow.com/ Notable Quotes:

About a decade ago, Canadian musician Teagan Johnston was just getting her start in Toronto's music scene. As her career began to gain momentum and her circle of musician friends grew, she found herself wrestling with some unexpected emotions. She was thrilled to see her peers succeed, but she also started to wonder whether she truly belonged, and if it would ever be her turn. Those conflicting feelings became the inspiration for her latest single, Neon Schoolgirl. Teagan joins guest host Garvia Bailey in the Q studio to tell us how writing the song helped her confront and overcome her imposter syndrome.

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta is LIVE on Hidden Killers breaking down the ransom developments in the Nancy Guthrie case — and explaining why what should be the investigation's best lead may already be hopelessly compromised. Nine days after Nancy vanished from her Catalina Foothills home in Tucson, Arizona, multiple ransom notes have been sent, a confirmed imposter has been arrested, the family is offering six million in Bitcoin, and there has been zero confirmed contact from whoever may have taken her.Ransom notes demanding millions in Bitcoin were sent to TMZ, KOLD, and KGUN. Harvey Levin confirmed the Bitcoin address is real. But a Los Angeles man was already arrested for sending imposter texts to the family referencing the same demand. A second email hit KOLD from a different IP using the same type of anonymous server. Motta explains why the existence of multiple senders and confirmed copycats turns the ransom trail into a forensic minefield.The Guthrie family has posted four videos on Instagram, escalating from proof-of-life requests to open desperation. CNN's Andrew McCabe says the tone indicates the family has received no response. Motta breaks down what the silence means — and whether it changes the calculus of what investigators believe actually happened.President Trump told reporters investigators have "very strong clues" and that something "definitive" is coming — specifically a "solution," not a search. Motta explains the impact of presidential commentary on an active investigation.The family says they will pay six million. The FBI says the decision is theirs. Motta walks through Bitcoin traceability, whether the payment becomes evidence, and what the FBI's "and/or arrest and conviction" reward language tells us about the bureau's internal framing.#NancyGuthrie #HiddenKillersLive #BobMotta #BitcoinRansom #GuthrieRansom #RansomImposter #TrumpGuthrie #FBIReward #CatalinaFoothills #LiveTrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
