 Summary In this episode of the Sisterhood of Sweat, host Linda Mitchell speaks with Kim Costa about the importance of aligning one's home with their true self and the journey of personal reinvention. Kim shares her insights on how our living spaces reflect our emotional states and the signs that indicate a misalignment. They discuss the courage it takes to make significant life changes, especially for women who often find themselves settling into roles that don't fulfill them. The conversation emphasizes the need for honesty in understanding what we truly want from life and how our environments can either support or hinder our growth. Kim encourages listeners to take inventory of their lives and homes, advocating for intentional living and the belief that it's never too late to reinvent oneself.  Takeaways Living in your wheelhouse means knowing who you are. Your home reflects your emotional state and life transitions. Many people settle for lives that drain them due to societal expectations. It's important to push the pause button before making life decisions. Clutter in your home can block your energy and happiness. Reinvention is possible at any age; it's never too late to start over. Honesty with oneself is crucial for living authentically. Success is about creating a life that sparks joy and fulfillment. Your environment can significantly impact your mindset and habits.

What if the most meaningful chapter of your life hasn't happened yet? In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, Robin Bailey and Al McDonald sit down with Brenda Benard, COO at Benard + Associates, to explore midlife reinvention, overcoming self-doubt, and finding the courage to create a life that reflects who you are becoming.Brenda never planned to become a business leader. After turning down an opportunity to study theatre, struggling with low confidence, and believing her happiness would come from other people, she spent years moving through life without a clear sense of what she wanted. But a quiet voice continued reminding her that she was capable of more.Brenda shares why walking into a room filled with CEOs changed how she saw her own value, what her professional-athlete daughter taught her about self-belief, and how perimenopause affected her confidence, identity, and mental health. She also explains why asking “What's the worst that could happen?” can make intimidating decisions feel possible.Robin, Al, and Brenda discuss intentional aging, protecting your health, listening to the whispers that tell you something needs to change, and refusing to postpone meaningful experiences until someday.Whether you're questioning your career, navigating midlife, rebuilding your confidence, or wondering whether it's too late to make a change, this episode is a powerful reminder that today is the youngest you will ever be again.You'll hear about:Why Brenda calls herself the “reluctant COO”How self-doubt shaped Brenda's early life and career decisionsWhy she turned down her dream of studying theatreBecoming a police officer at 33 while raising two young daughtersHow to recognize the quiet signs that you are capable of moreThe question that changed Brenda's outlook on time and opportunityWhy taking responsibility can be more empowering than assigning blameThe moment Brenda realized she deserved to have her success celebratedHow other people may see strengths you cannot yet recognize in yourselfOvercoming feelings of inferiority around senior leaders and executivesWhy even the most accomplished leaders are still figuring things outHow perimenopause can affect confidence, identity, and mental healthWhat Brenda's daughter taught her about making her younger self proudHow evaluating the worst-case scenario can help you move through fearWhy health and longevity have become central to Brenda's next chapterThe power of trading expectation for appreciationWe talk about:00:00 Introduction to Brenda Benard and rethinking success in midlife03:43 Self-doubt, abandoned dreams, and expecting happiness from others05:02 Listening to life's whispers and becoming a police officer at 3308:41 “If not now, then when?” and why someday may never arrive11:31 The moment Brenda decided she deserved to have her success celebrated13:53 How Brenda's employees saw strengths she couldn't recognize in herself21:06 Walking into a room of CEOs and overcoming feelings of inferiority26:00 Perimenopause, self-confidence, and navigating the dark years27:52 What Brenda's daughter taught her about honouring her younger self29:42 Using the worst-case scenario to move through fear31:02 Raising courageous daughters and refusing to waste more time33:10 Intentional aging, protecting your health, and living while you can38:57 Trading expectation for appreciationConnect with BrendaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brenda-benard-4a259188Website: www.benardinc.com Connect with UsLinkedIn: Robin Bailey and Al McDonald Website: Aria Benefits and Life & Legacy Advisory Group

In this conversation, I'm joined by bestselling author and time management expert Laura Vanderkam to explore a different perspective: what if the story you've been telling yourself about time isn't entirely true? Together, we talk about building a greater sense of time abundance, why complexity doesn't have to mean chaos, and practical ways to become the calm ringmaster of your own life instead of feeling like you're constantly reacting to it.You'll Learn:How tracking your time for one week can reveal opportunities you didn't realize you hadPractical ways to plan your week around your priorities instead of reacting to your scheduleHow to make the most of your "golden hours" and create more meaningful leisure timeWhy making small "little bets" can help you build habits and create lasting changeSimple ways to stop telling yourself you're "too busy" and make more time for what mattersLinks:Visit Laura's website for all of her resources, learn more about her books, check out her podcasts and sign up for her newsletters: https://lauravanderkam.com/ Get Laura's new book Big Time: A Simple Path to Time Abundance here: https://lauravanderkam.com/books/big-time/Get a copy of Amy's Best selling book: CANNONBALL!

Send us Fan MailWhat if the reason you feel happier in summer has very little to do with summer itself?Every year we naturally begin walking more, gathering more, cooking differently, opening the windows, eating outside and lingering just a little longer. Most people assume those changes happen because it's summer.But what if the environment changes first—and our behaviour follows?In this episode, I explore the hidden relationship between our homes, our habits, and the feeling of summer. Rather than decorating with seasonal trends, we'll look at how thoughtful interior design can recreate the conditions that make us feel healthier, calmer, more connected and more alive—long after summer ends.Drawing on research around environmental cues, behaviour, lifestyle and sensory design, you'll learn practical ways to design your home so it naturally encourages better living every single day.Because your home doesn't simply reflect your life.It teaches you how to live. In this episode you'll learn: Why summer changes our behaviour more than we realise  How your environment quietly shapes your daily habits  Simple design decisions that make your home feel more open and connected  Why reducing "friction" changes how you use your home  How to create spaces that encourage gathering without formal entertaining  Ways to bring ordinary daily rituals outdoors  The importance of sensory design—from light and airflow to texture and sound  How to preserve the best parts of summer throughout every season  Why beautiful homes should ultimately change how you experience life—not just how it looks If you've ever wished your home felt lighter, calmer and more alive, this episode will change the way you think about design.Collected.

What if the very thing you've been hiding is the key to unlocking everything you want? In this episode, Lacy and Jessica explore a gentler chapter of manifestation: one rooted in authenticity, self-trust, and coming home to who you truly are. They share updates from the Be Seen Challenge and unpack the subtle ways we hide: people-pleasing, over-explaining, perfectionism, and chasing external validation. True visibility isn't about being louder or more performative — it's about feeling safe enough to own your desires, trust your intuition, and let your authentic self become your strongest signal. Plus, they answer listener questions on confidence, manifestation tests, relationship shadows, finances, and embodying the liberating “f*ck it” energy that comes from truly trusting yourself.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about slowmaxxing, the viral trend that flips hustle culture on its head. Is the answer to burnout really found in 48-hour chocolate chip cookies and 15-minute coffee rituals, or is that taking things a little too far? Jenn breaks down what slowmaxxing really means, why it might be the antidote to internet brain rot, and how it connects to the priorities we already claim to care about. Does slowing down mean getting less done, or could it be the missing piece that makes everything else work better? Tune in to hear how Jenn is putting this trend to the test in her own life, and whether she thinks it is worth adopting or just another wellness fad dressed up with a new name.

What realistic minimalism actually is has almost nothing to do with stark white rooms and empty shelves. I own two TVs, a full board game collection, and a waffle maker that does exactly one thing, and I've practiced this lifestyle for the better part of a decade.This episode is the wide view of the whole philosophy, the realistic version built for a family of five with a toddler and a dog. If you've ever thought minimalism sounded nice but figured it was for people without kids, hobbies, or a real budget, this one was made for you.I adopted a practical minimalist lifestyle during one of the hardest seasons of my life, and it has given me more time, energy, and mental capacity than anything else I've tried. Kind of crazy how much your space can change things.✨Read the full guide, where every concept links to a deeper dive: https://www.miadanielle.com/blog/what-minimalism-actually-is-and-isn-tGrab a spot in my free masterclass, Break the Clutter Cycle!SEE MORE▷ Instagram▷ FREE: Declutter Your First Room Blueprint ▷ FREE: Clutter Roadmap QUIZ▷ The Mind Your Home Podcast on Apple

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.Your kids are not building their lives on your best intentions. They're building on the pattern they lived inside. We dig into a metaphor that lands hard and clarifies fast: every father “files” a blueprint for his family, and it isn't written in speeches or stated values. It's written in what we repeatedly do when presence is expensive and comfort is tempting.We walk through what that blueprint actually contains. What do your children learn about love when tension shows up at home? What do they learn about men under pressure, emotional availability, and the cost of staying present? We talk about how kids form a working model of relationships from thousands of small observations, then turn those conclusions into foundations that hold up everything else, from self-worth to the partners they choose and the standards they tolerate.We also name the sobering part: this isn't future tense. The blueprint has already been distributed, and your kids are building from it right now. But the ledger isn't closed. The question is simple and serious: what gets added from here? If you want to take the next step with us, subscribe, share this with a father who needs it, and leave a review so more men can find the work.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Blueprint Already Filed01:13 Words Versus Actions02:48 Hard Times Reveal Values05:00 Kids Form Foundations05:42 Son And Daughter Models08:35 Cost Already Paid10:07 What Gets Added Next10:25 Band Of Brothers InviteSupport the showThanks for listening to the Revolutionary Man Podcast.  For more information about our programs, please use the links below to learn more about us.

Hey Revitalized Womanhood listeners! I'm so excited to revisit one of our favorite conversations from the podcast archives and share it with you again. While this episode originally aired some time ago, the message is just as meaningful today. Sometimes the conversations we need most aren't the newest ones, they're the ones worth hearing again. In this episode, I sit down with Sharna Parker Brown, a New Zealand-born fly fisherwoman, mentor, and advocate whose journey is a beautiful reminder that womanhood doesn't have to fit into anyone else's definition. What started as an unexpected love for fly fishing in Alaska became a path toward confidence, healing, and living with greater intention. Sharna shares how pursuing a passion outside of society's expectations helped her reconnect with herself, navigate a male-dominated space, and discover a life that feels deeply authentic. We also talk about the power of community, mentorship, environmental stewardship, and the courage it takes to pursue what truly lights you up, even when it looks different from what others expect. Whether you're listening for the first time or revisiting this conversation with fresh perspective, I believe you'll walk away encouraged to embrace the passions that make you come alive and to trust that your path doesn't have to look like anyone else's. Great conversations are timeless, and this is definitely one of them. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do every time I come back to it. Let's dive in!

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene shares a solo episode announcing an important evolution for the podcast while reaffirming the principles that have guided it from the beginning. After more than 360 episodes focused on real estate investing, Jonathan explains why the show is expanding its conversations beyond traditional investing topics to explore broader themes of financial mindfulness, intentional living, and long-term wealth building. While real estate will remain the foundation of the podcast, future episodes will also examine how it fits into a diversified financial life alongside other investments, personal growth, and thoughtful decision-making. Jonathan also shares an important update for listeners: beginning next week, the podcast will move from publishing two episodes each week to a single Wednesday release. He explains that the new schedule will create space for deeper conversations, more intentional guest selection, and an increased number of solo episodes. Rather than producing more content for the sake of consistency, Jonathan wants every episode to deliver greater value while giving listeners time to absorb the lessons and revisit past conversations. The episode explores the idea of financial mindfulness, a philosophy Jonathan believes is missing from many investing conversations today. Instead of chasing shortcuts, viral trends, or "get rich quick" strategies, he encourages listeners to focus on building lasting wealth through patience, diversification, and intentional choices. He discusses why financial education should extend beyond real estate alone and how understanding money, risk, and long-term planning can help investors create stronger foundations for themselves and future generations. Jonathan also shares his vision for the future of the show, including conversations with guests from across the financial world who can offer fresh perspectives on how real estate fits into a complete investment strategy. He explains that the podcast will continue to prioritize thoughtful discussion over sensational headlines, while expanding into topics such as artificial intelligence, financial education, asset allocation, and teaching the next generation about money. Throughout the episode, Jonathan reinforces that the mission has not changed. The goal has always been to help listeners think more deeply, make better decisions, and build wealth with intention. In this episode, you will hear: • Why the podcast is expanding its focus to include financial mindfulness alongside real estate investing • Why Jonathan is moving from two episodes per week to one Wednesday release each week • How long-term thinking, diversification, and intentional decision-making create lasting wealth • Why future guests will bring broader financial perspectives while keeping real estate at the center of the conversation • How slowing down and thinking more critically can help investors build stronger financial foundations for themselves and future generations Supporting Resources Connect with Jonathan: Podcast - www.zenandtheartofrealestateinvesting.com YouTube - www.youtube.com/JonathanGreenere Instagram - www.instagram.com/zenrealestateinvesting Instagram - www.instagram.com/trustgreene Bigger Pockets - www.biggerpockets.com/users/TrustGreene Facebook - www.facebook.com/zenandtheartofrealestateinvesting Jonathan's Hub Site - www.trustgreene.com Brokerage - https://www.streamlined.properties This episode was produced by Outlier Audio.  

In this episode of Holistic Hub Podcast, Stephanie Peacock sits down with Ashley Spanovich, founder of Awakening Spaces, to unpack how our homes can impact our health. Ashley shares her journey from interior design into building biology, after her own health struggles led her to discover mold, chemical exposure, and EMFs as major environmental factors. She now helps people build and renovate homes with health in mind. What we talked about:Ashley's background in interior design and how her personal health journey led her into building biologyWhy she believes homes should be approached with the same intentionality as healthThe four main types of non-native EMFs: electric fields, magnetic fields, radio frequency radiation, and dirty electricityCommon household EMF sources, including smart meters, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cell phones, microwaves, and plugged-in devicesWhy measuring matters before trying to shield or reduce exposureHow renters and homeowners can make practical changes to reduce EMFsThe importance of avoiding fear-based messaging and focusing on conscious, informed choicesWhy sunlight, grounding, and time outdoors are foundational practices for resilience Key takeaways:Your phone is often the biggest EMF exposure in daily life, so safe cell phone hygiene is a major first step.Turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at night can meaningfully reduce exposure.Not all EMF protection products do what they claim, and some create a false sense of security.You can't guess your way to better EMF protection — measurement and context matter.Small, intentional changes are more sustainable than trying to make every part of your home “perfect.”Getting outside, grounding, and viewing sunlight as daily medicine are foundational habits that support overall health.About the guest: Ashley Spanovich is the founder of Awakening Spaces, where she serves as an Owner's Representative for people building or renovating homes with the goal of reducing mold, chemical, and EMF exposure. She helps clients make clear, aligned decisions throughout the construction process so they can create homes that genuinely support their health and wellbeing.Ashley is also the creator of the Conscious Construction Container, a program that teaches homeowners how to become their own advocate and representative. Through a practical, step-by-step framework, she helps people confidently manage their projects, reduce exposure risks, and avoid costly mistakes.Blending building science, building biology, and intuitive decision-making, Ashley brings both technical expertise and intentional guidance to her work. With a background in design and a passion for healthy home advocacy, she supports clients and students in creating homes that are beautiful, functional, and deeply aligned with the way they want to live. restorative to their well-beingTimestamps:0:00 — Intro conversation and getting set up5:27 — Ashley's story: interiors, health struggles, and discovering building biology10:07 — Reframing home health without fear-mongering16:02 — What EMFs are and the four types Ashley measures18:19 — Common EMF sources in the home22:11 — Smart meters, distance, and why measurement matters31:04 — Tools for measuring EMFs and why the wrong meter can mislead you34:19 — Magnetic fields, power lines, and why they can be a dealbreaker36:24 — What renters can do and why professional assessment still helps39:01 — Practical ways to reduce exposure in a rental or home42:42 — Cell phone hygiene, microwaves, and simple first steps46:05 — EMF sensitivity, mold overlap, and common symptoms50:50 — Concerns with EMF protection products and false security57:45 — Where to find Ashley and her resourcesFind Ashley at: Her website: awakeningspaces.com  Her podcast: https://awakeningspaces.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/awakeningspaces/Stephanie's Links:Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drstephpeacockInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstephpeacock/Website: https://stephaniepeacock.com/Substack: https://substack.com/@holistichubcommunityRetreat in November: https://www.vitalresetretreat.com/

Have you ever bought something because everyone else said you needed it? This week, Wendi shares the surprising lessons from a heated Facebook discussion asking, "What's the biggest waste of money on a homestead?" While the original answer was raised garden beds, the comments revealed something much deeper: every homestead is different, and wise decisions depend on your unique circumstances. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the real question isn't "Is it worth it?" but "Is it worth it for me?" How to identify the problem you're actually trying to solve before making a purchase. Why your time and physical energy are valuable resources. How to think beyond the purchase price and consider long-term costs. Practical ways to use creativity and resourcefulness before spending money. Why your climate, soil, property, and season of life should influence every homestead decision. The importance of making room for beauty and joy, even when something doesn't produce a financial return. Whether you have a suburban backyard, a few acres, or a working farm, this episode will help you make thoughtful, intentional decisions that fit your family and your goals. Remember: Preparedness isn't about buying what everyone else buys. It's about making thoughtful decisions that bring peace to your life.

What if failure isn't the opposite of winning — but the gift that makes it possible? In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, Your Health CEO Matt Staub opens up about the present he gave himself at 40: permission to fail. Then he shows what that looks like when life tests it — walking Jamie through a 2025 that brought prostate cancer, his daughter's surgery, the loss of his father, and professional hardship, and the quiet strength it takes to look back and say, "That was a good try. I'm still here. I'm hard to beat." In this episode, you'll hear: How Matt reframes a loss into a "fall forward" — and the simple habit he uses to do it The agonizing leadership question of when to let someone you care about fail Why accountability, done right, is one of the best gifts you can give a friend The danger of only celebrating big wins — and how complacency quietly creeps in Why the only voice that truly matters is the one inside your own head If you missed Part 1, start there for the full arc. Then settle in here for the deeper, more personal half — and walk away with a new relationship to the losses in your own life.

This is a replay episode from 2021, that we are reposting it because it was just that good and timeless. When you live each day with intentionality, there's almost no limit to what you can do. You can transform yourself, your family, your community, and even your nation. And when enough people choose to live that way, they can change the world.“When you intentionally use your everyday life to bring about positive change in the lives of others, you begin to live a life that matters.”— John C. MaxwellFor this episode, I brought on Caleb Brown, and he unpacked intentional living in a way I had never heard before.Take a listen as we dive into the practical side of living with intentionality.

These are the 5 beliefs that changed my life, and I can still remember the moments each shift started. From a self-help CD my mom handed me in a last-ditch effort to get me off her couch at 19, to her advice after my first real heartbreak at 15, every one of these beliefs got tested hard before it stuck. Together, they're the reason I could change my life even through some really terrible situations. Your actions will only ever align with what you believe, so if you feel stuck in your patterns, your relationships, or your home, this one goes a layer deeper than anything else I've shared.Grab a spot in my free masterclass, Break the Clutter Cycle!SEE MORE▷ Instagram▷ FREE: Declutter Your First Room Blueprint ▷ FREE: Clutter Roadmap QUIZ▷ The Mind Your Home Podcast on Apple

Whoever scores the most goals wins. Simple — until you leave the field and try to keep score in your actual life, where there's no referee and no final whistle. So how do you know if you're winning? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Your Health CEO Matt Staub sits down with Jamie Preston to redefine what a win actually is. Matt opens with the daily ritual that grounds him — making it to the gym — and the moment he realized the win wasn't the scale or the heavier lift, but the discipline of showing up at all. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the heaviest weight at the gym is the front door — and what that teaches about every goal The hidden cost of only celebrating the big wins (hint: it's called burnout) What a humbling match-play golf loss taught Jamie about changing the goal instead of the game Why Matt believes pressure is a privilege — and how he leans into it Who actually decides what counts as a win, and what to do when there's no scoreboard This is the half where winning gets redefined from the outside in. Press play, then come back next week for Part 2 — where it gets personal.

If you've ever found yourself mentally planning the next quarter while your kids are finally at camp, this one is for you.In this season seven finale, we're talking about what intentionally slowing down actually looks like for high-achieving women, why rest feels like falling behind, and three questions to help us move through July with intention instead of accidentally sprinting through it.What You'll Learn:✅ Why slowing down feels like falling behind, and what that discomfort is actually trying to tell us✅ The difference between anxious planning and intentional visioning, and how to stop letting fear disguise itself as productivity✅ Three questions to help us move through July with purpose instead of guilt✅ How to name one intentional rest day before the month is over, and why staying in the discomfort of it matters more than getting it perfect✅ A guided reflection to reconnect with what we actually want the fall to feel like, before we turn it into a project planCHAPTERS00:00 Why Rest Feels Hard01:01 Summer Pace Shift02:54 High Achiever Wiring03:34 Three July Questions03:52 Slow Pace Keep Purpose04:19 Connect More Intentionally04:53 Dream Without Executing05:35 Pick One Rest Day06:27 Season Finale Gratitude08:02 Guided Reflection Meditation10:21 Share And Work Together11:00 Mindful SendoffSend us Fan MailSupport the showNJ RESIDENTS, WORK WITH VANESSA Book a free 15-minute therapy consultation https://www.freetobemindful.com/contact LET'S STAY CONNECTED 

Most of us get stuck in either/or thinking way more than we realize. Should I take the job or not? Buy the house or not? Marry the girl or not? And when you reduce a big decision down to yes or no, it gets heavy fast — because now there's only two outcomes and one of them feels like loss. In this episode I walk through a handful of ways to break out of that trap. One of these is what I call a "root cause rethink," where you go back and ask why you actually want the thing in the first place (the answer might surprise you). There are almost always more than two choices. And if someone is pressuring you to decide right now between two options, that should be a red flag, not a motivator.--- P.S.: If you like this podcast, you'll probably enjoy seeing Scott present live. If you are interested in having him speak to your organization, you can see the options and schedule time to talk with Scott about your event here: https://scottwozniak.com/speaking/---Sign up to have Scott email you a weekly idea, story or cool tool.

Episode 4052: Tonya Lester reflects on how the constant drive to be productive can pull us away from the moments that matter most, sharing a deeply personal story about rushing and its unexpected cost. Her perspective offers a refreshing reminder that a richer life often comes not from managing time better, but from choosing to do less and be more present. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.tonyalester.com/blog/a-personal-perspective-on-time-management Quotes to ponder: "Productivity, efficiency, and quick accomplishments have become a religion in our culture." "The secret to a sane existence, one where you can be present, notice the small details, and take the time to enjoy simple pleasures, isn't doing everything faster, or even organizing your time better, it's doing less." "Next time, instead of asking myself if I can possibly fit in one more thing, I'll ask myself, “Is there a way to make this easier, more enjoyable, and more meaningful? What would it be like to slow this all down, the laughing and the eating, yes, but even the cooking and cleaning?”" Episode references: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals: https://www.amazon.com/Four-Thousand-Weeks-Time-Management/dp/0374159122 Learn more about your ad choices.
