What if your headaches are actually coming from your neck?In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves breaks down one of the most overlooked—and most important—headache diagnoses: cervicogenic headache.A cervicogenic headache simply means a headache that originates from the neck. Yet despite being incredibly common, it's often missed, misdiagnosed, or mistaken for migraines, occipital neuralgia, vestibular disorders, and other headache conditions.Dr. Taves explains why traditional imaging often misses the problem, how the upper neck can refer pain into the head and face, and why understanding the source of your symptoms is critical for finding lasting relief.We cover:What a cervicogenic headache actually isWhy neck problems are frequently overlookedHow neck dysfunction can create migraine-like symptomsWhy X-rays and MRIs often miss the root issueThe connection between cervicogenic headaches and dizzinessHow the three-spoke framework helps uncover the real cause of symptomsIf you've been told your scans are normal but you still have headaches, migraines, dizziness, or pain behind the eye, this episode may change the way you think about your symptoms.

Regulation is not being calm, checking a million boxes, or looking a certain way on the outside. The real definition of regulation is developing self-trust, adaptability, and the ability to stay with yourself rather than disassociate emotionally when life gets hard.In this episode, we'll explore how every emotion is a message, and every message draws the path forward to the success you're after in your business, your relationships, and your life. Regulation is not something you can see on the outside, it's all about what is happening on the inside. TOPICS WE EXPLORE:Why the aesthetic version of regulation is toxicWhat regulation actually isWhy doing something because you should gives you zero results How to use our emotions as the messages they are The self-coaching loop and somatic framework I always useA permission slip to redefine regulation in a way that actually serves youTHE POINT:Regulation is the speed with which you recover from the challenging parts of life. It's self-trust, adaptability, and the ability to stay with yourself when things get hard (none of which you can see from the outside).

There is a gap between where your life is and where you thought it would be. That gap has a name. It is grief. A kind of hidden, invisible grief. And most of us are walking around carrying it without ever calling it that, because we have been taught that grief belongs only to those who have lost someone to death. The rest of us are supposed to just get on with it.Dr. Lucy Hone is an adjunct senior fellow at the University of Canterbury, a leading resilience researcher, and one of the world's most trusted voices on loss and grief. Her TED talk on resilience has been viewed more than nine million times. She is also a mother who lost her 12-year-old daughter, Abi, in a car accident in 2014, and who has spent the decade since weaving her scientific training and her lived experience into tools that actually work. Her new book is How Will I Ever Get Through This?In this conversation, we go to the places most conversations about grief are afraid to go.What you will explore:Why grief is not an emotion but a full-body experience that explains the exhaustion, brain fog, and 3 am waking you may have been blaming on other thingsWhat "living losses" are, the griefs that come without a funeral, and why they may be driving far more of our suffering than we recognizeThe difference between acceptance and coming to terms with, and why one word changes everything about how you move through lossWhat the research actually shows about post-traumatic growth, including the statistic that will surprise you about how common it actually isWhy resilience is not about bouncing back, and what Dr. Hone means when she says you do not bounce back from anything that mattersThe one question she asks herself in the hardest moments, and why it is a more useful starting point than any techniqueIf you have ever minimized something you were going through because it did not feel like it counted as real loss, this conversation is for you.You can find Lucy at: Website | Instagram | Episode TranscriptNext week, I am going solo to talk about something that I think a lot of us are quietly carrying, the conversations we know we need to have with the people who matter most to us, and why we keep finding reasons not to have them. The research turns out to be really clear on this: we consistently overestimate how bad it will be and underestimate how much it costs us to stay silent.

This week in our first segment … I sat down with Jeffrey Baker in our studio at the Universal Technical Institute in Mooresville … actually … back a few months ago. If you've been wondering WHY we asked Jeffrey to join our little family as one of our co-hosts, our conversation during that interview IS WHY. You're going to hear stories you've NEVER heard before … told in a way that you've never heard before. From getting an ultimatum about his involvement in the sport from a soon-to-be FORMER girlfriend to a Bobby Hamilton caper that you've got to hear to believe … Jeffrey brings the heat. Then in our second segment, we'll dig into the November 19, 1987 issue of Grand National Scene. The cover story in this issue is about the private planes that were coming into vogue at the time, so we did into the recorded archive to share stories about competitors and their planes.

Send us Fan MailIn this deep dive episode, Cody Sanders breaks down Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and explains why it has become one of her favorite tools for understanding women's health through an entirely different lens.This conversation goes far beyond “just minerals.”Cody explores how stress, burnout, nervous system dysregulation, blood sugar instability, trauma, hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, PCOS, fertility struggles, and menopause all influence the body's internal terrain — and why so many women feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, and dismissed despite being told their labs look “normal.”You'll learn how the body adapts to chronic stress over time, why minerals are foundational for energy and hormone signaling, and how healing shifts when we stop fighting the body and start understanding what it's been trying to communicate all along.Throughout the episode, Cody shares powerful client stories that illustrate how rebuilding the body's terrain through nourishment, mineral support, nervous system regulation, blood sugar stability, and recovery can completely change a woman's healing journey.In This Episode, We Cover:What HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) actually isWhy minerals matter for hormones, metabolism, and nervous system regulationThe connection between chronic stress and mineral depletionWhy women can have “normal” thyroid labs but still feel hypothyroidCellular energy, mineral balance, and hormone signalingFast oxidizers vs. slow oxidizers explained simplyHow HTMA can reveal stress adaptation patternsPCOS through a terrain-based and nervous system lensWhy restriction and overtraining can backfireThe importance of mineral reserves before pregnancyHow menopause can expose underlying depletion patternsAutoimmunity, burnout, and loss of resilienceWhy healing is about support, not punishmentHow nervous system regulation changes everythingKey TakeawaysSymptoms are communication, not failureThe body adapts to the environment it believes it's living inHormones cannot be separated from the terrain they operate withinMineral balance affects energy production, stress resilience, thyroid function, detoxification, blood sugar regulation, and nervous system healthMany women are functioning in survival mode without realizing itHealing often begins when the body finally feels safe enough to stop compensatingResources and Links:Learn more about Cody's CALM FrameworkInterested in HTMA testing and mineral balancing support?Connect with Cody:Reach out at cody@mixhers.com, and put HTMA in the subjest title to request a consultation.Instagram: @codyjeansandersUse code CODY for 15% off your order at Mixhers.comIf You Loved This EpisodePlease share this episode with another woman whoDid you learn something new today?

What happens when a hairstylist gets tired of feeling tied down — and decides to do something about it? Leisha did not just change her schedule. She sold her house, moved into an RV with her husband, two dogs, and a cat, drove to a city where she knew nobody, and started walking into salons with a stack of papers and an idea nobody had ever heard of. That idea? Traveling Hairstylist — a first-of-its-kind service where stylists can hire a professional to come to their space, care for their clients, and cover 100% of their booth rent while they're on maternity leave, medical leave, or any extended time away. Coast to coast, all 50 states, with a team of five (soon to be seven) and a near-perfect client retention rate.In this episode, Misty sits down with Leisha, the founder of Traveling Hairstylist, and they go deep on what it actually looks like to start something that does not exist yet — the fear, the first salon door she walked into, the moment it finally clicked, and why she believes the beauty industry is the most creative space to build something that is entirely your own. In this episode, you will learn:How Leisha combined her love of travel with a real gap she saw in the industry — and why those two things colliding changed everythingWhat it actually looked like to launch with zero clients, zero connections, and one Instagram post in a city she had never lived inThe honest breakdown of how Traveling Hairstylist works financially — what stylists keep, what Leisha's team covers, and why it is structured the way it isWhy suite stylists are especially vulnerable during a leave — and what most salon companies still are not doing to support themHow Leisha thinks about team building, contracts, and what it means to run a business that is also a love letter to the industryWhat happened when she finally got a "yes" after two weeks of walking into salons and getting told noThe mindset that kept her going when the idea was still just hers — and why she believes when something really calls to you, it is embedded in youConnect with Leisha + Traveling Hairstylist:Instagram: @thetraveling.hairstylistWebsite: The Traveling Hairstylisthairstylist podcast, salon owner podcast, hairstylist personal development, beauty industry business podcast, hairstylist leave coverage

Have you ever felt like you had to keep your spiritual beliefs a secret? Like admitting what you truly believe would cost you friendships, family dinners, or your reputation at work? You're not alone, and this episode is for you.Will and Karen sit down with Jenn Bierma, an intuitive massage therapist, medium, author, and podcast host who made a bold leap from the spiritually open culture of Minnesota straight into the heart of Oklahoma's Bible Belt. What she discovered there... and how she navigated it... will make you rethink everything about what it means to walk your truth out loud.Jenn shares why she spent years using massage therapy as a "cover" for her gifts, how she learned to bring people into her world by meeting them in theirs first, and what finally gave her the courage to stop hiding. She also opens up about her personal relationship with Jesus, and how that relationship looks nothing like the religion she was warned to fear as a child.The conversation goes deep fast. We talk about the difference between fearing judgment from others and judging yourself, why poor spiritual boundaries usually mirror poor personal boundaries, why Jenn chose not to offer traditional mediumship readings despite being a gifted medium, and the extraordinary story of how a spirit at a networking event led to her publishing her first book.If you've ever dimmed your light to make someone else comfortable, this episode is a reminder that the world needs exactly what you've been hiding.In This Episode:How Jenn adapted her spiritual practice to life in the Bible Belt without compromising who she isWhy "coming out of the spiritual closet" starts with the conversation inside your own headJenn's relationship with Jesus as a guide, not a gatekeeperThe trauma she processed in eight hours of meditation that finally freed her bookWhy she teaches clients to connect with their own guides instead of relying on herThe one question Jenn always starts with before entering anyone's energy fieldConnect with Jenn Erma:Website: https://rejennerationwellness.com/Book: A Life Lived Medium: A Psychic's Journey From Fearful to Almost FearlessThe Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door. Each episode explores consciousness expansion, enlightenment, soul purpose, and soul growth through honest, grounded conversation with leading voices in metaphysics, psychic phenomenon, quantum healing, and beyond.

In this special episode of Inspire Change, Miranda Spigener-Sapon and DeVonna Prinzi step into the studio for a more personal, coffee-style conversation while Gunter is away focusing on his PhD work.Together, they explore why so many of us live in reaction mode, how perfectionism adds pressure to our lives, and why real change often begins not by pushing harder, but by pausing, breathing, and becoming more aware.Through honest reflections from their own working relationship and daily lives, Miranda and DeVonna talk about the difference between reacting and responding, the emotional cost of trying to be perfect, and the power of making small, sustainable shifts instead of chasing unrealistic expectations.At the heart of the conversation is a simple but powerful reminder: growth does not come from perfection. It comes from awareness, choice, and giving yourself permission to be in process.This episode is an invitation to slow down, release unnecessary pressure, and remember that progress is built one conscious step at a time.In This Episode• The difference between reacting and responding• Why slowing down is not weakness, but a form of self-control• How breath, pause, and awareness help shift emotional overwhelm• The hidden pressure of perfectionism, especially for women• Why self-forgiveness matters when we fall short of our own expectations• How small, sustainable changes create real momentum• The importance of measuring progress by your own growth, not comparison• Finding light through darkness by choosing awareness over chaosKey Insights“Slowing down doesn't mean weakness. It's control.”“Perfection blocks growth.”“Awareness plus choice is where change begins.”“Progress over perfection is how real change happens.”Episode HighlightsOpening the studio for a more personal conversationReaction vs. response and the power of taking a beatThe discomfort — and strength — of slowing downHow perfectionism creates unrealistic pressureLearning to forgive yourself and work with what isWhy solutions matter more than rigid plansThe power of small shifts, breathwork, and sustainable changeThe dark-to-light moment: finding hope, choice, and clarity in the middle of real lifeGratitudeHello to all our listeners, we thank you for tuning in and supporting positive social change, which makes you a part of Gunter's efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought — I know better, so why doesn't it stick? Why can't I just... change?If you keep bumping into the same thought patterns — the self-doubt, the second-guessing, the shrinking — this episode is going to reframe everything. The problem isn't you. It's the method. And once you understand the difference between managing your mind day to day and actually rewiring it at the root, you'll stop white-knuckling your way through change and start making it stick.5 shifts covered in this episode01 - Stop identifying with the thoughtThe thought isn't you — it's a circuit. Seeing it that way strips it of its authority. Saves you from shame spirals that can last hours or days.02 - Repetition isn't enough — emotional charge isWhy affirmations often don't work, and what to do instead. This shift alone saves years of spinning your wheels on surface-level tools.03 - Interrupt the loop earlyNegative thought patterns build momentum. Learn to catch them at the first flicker — before they hijack your whole day.04 - Rewire the belief, not just the behaviorChanging behavior without changing the underlying belief is exhausting. Go upstream. This is where lasting change actually lives.05 - Make the new pattern the defaultThe goal isn't working hard at thinking differently forever. It's wiring the new pattern until it runs on autopilot — just like the old one did.Thanks for listening!Find me on Instagram.
Why do narcissists seem to move on instantly after a breakup or divorce?In this episode, Sam and Leah break down the psychology behind “monkey branching” — a common narcissistic relationship pattern where someone lines up a new partner before leaving the current relationship. For many women, watching their ex jump into a new relationship immediately can feel deeply personal, confusing, and incredibly painful.But the truth is, this behavior has far more to do with narcissistic supply, control, and avoiding emotional accountability than it does with your worth.Sam and Leah discuss:What monkey branching actually isWhy narcissists rarely stay singleThe role of narcissistic supply and dopamine chasingWhy the new relationship often happens so quicklyHow narcissists rewrite the history of the relationshipWhy this behavior creates trauma bonds and deep confusionHow to stop personalizing their actions and start healingIf you're navigating divorce or co-parenting with a narcissistic ex, understanding these patterns can help you regain clarity, protect your peace, and start rebuilding your life with confidence.If you're looking for deeper support, tools, and community while navigating divorce and high-conflict co-parenting, check out The Next Chapter membership.

How do you know if someone has real spiritual fruit in their life? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down how to discern biblical fruit through a spiritual lens — and why this matters so much for men of faith, Christian men, and anyone pursuing God's purpose.Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruit.” But what does that actually mean in real life? This conversation explores how to recognize the difference between true, Holy Spirit-produced fruit and the fake fruit people often mistake for spiritual maturity — things like image, wealth, influence, social media presence, appearance, or hype.Garrett and Nick walk through the biblical definition of fruit from Galatians 5, showing that real fruit comes from the Holy Spirit and is revealed through consistent love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. They also explain why faith and transformation in Christ allow you to recognize that same fruit in others.In this episode, you'll learn:What biblical fruit actually isWhy false fruit is easy to mistake for the real thingHow social media, wealth, appearance, and status can mislead Christian menWhy words and behavior reveal what is really in a person's heartHow relational fruit shows up in marriage, family, and close relationshipsWhy discipleship and multiplication are some of the clearest signs of mature faith and purposeHow men of faith can use discernment to choose mentors, leaders, and examples worth followingThis episode is a practical guide for Christian men who want to live with deeper faith, walk in greater purpose, and learn how to recognize the difference between appearance and authenticity.Because real fruit doesn't just look good from a distance.

It's one of the most important rooms franchise leaders will step into all year.In this special episode, Tracy and Shannon turn the microphones on each other ahead of the International Franchise Association's Annual Conference in Las Vegas. Between Shannon's nearly two decades of attendance and Tracy's experience as a franchisor navigating the event with intention, they share the insider perspective most attendees don't hear until their second or third year.From the gold that happens in the hallways to the intimidation that even seasoned leaders feel walking into a room of 4,000 professionals, this episode shares how to show up prepared, confident, and strategic.

Every organization runs on an invisible subsidy.It isn't a budget line or a job title. It's the quiet labor of the people who catch mistakes before they become crises, anticipate needs before they're spoken, and hold systems together without recognition.In this solo episode, Alex Greenwood reads his essay “The Competency Tax: Why the Most Capable Often Pay More,” Part Three of his Radical Competency series.Using an unlikely but perfect example from pop culture, M*A*S*H's Radar O'Reilly, Alex explores how radically competent people become indispensable, overused, and often invisible. Radar hears the helicopters first. He keeps the hospital running. And he quietly pays the price.This episode is for:High performers who are always “the one who handles it”Leaders who rely on a few people to absorb chaosAnyone who has felt their reliability slowly turn into expectationOrganizations that mistake dedication for infinite capacityKey themes include:What the “Competency Tax” really isWhy radical competency is rewarded with more work, not protectionThe moral failure of extracting overcapacity from trusted peopleWhat happens when the most capable person finally leaves⚠️ Important note:December 30, 2025 will be the final episode of PR After Hours.That episode will explain what's next, why this chapter is ending, and where this work is heading after five years.Subscribe now and don't miss the final show.

In this session from our Longmont, Colorado preacher training weekend, Shane Angland walks through the heart of expository preaching and explains why faithful handling of Scripture is vital for every pastor, teacher, and communicator of God's word.Shane gives a clear and practical framework for understanding what expository preaching really is, why the Bible itself models this approach, and how we can move from careful study to Christ centred proclamation. He highlights the importance of establishing the text, understanding context, tracing themes, and applying Scripture honestly and courageously.Drawing from passages like Deuteronomy 31, Nehemiah 8, Luke 4, and Acts 8, Shane shows that expository preaching is not a modern invention but a biblical pattern. He also discusses the character and posture required of preachers, reminding us that humility, diligence, and dependence on the Spirit are essential to handling God's word faithfully.Whether you preach weekly or occasionally, or simply want to grow in your understanding of Scripture, this conversation will help sharpen your approach and strengthen your confidence in the Bible.Topics covered:What expository preaching actually isWhy explanation and application belong togetherHow the Bible models expositionThe movement from exegesis to theology to preachingWhy preaching must be text centred and audience awareThe benefits of preaching through books of the BibleHow expository preaching shapes the church and the preacherThe character traits needed for faithful expositionWilliam Tyndale's historic prayer for true expoundersAbout Shane AnglandShane is currently a teaching elder at Ennis Evangelical Church in Ireland. He has served as a missionary in Ukraine and is a Th.M. graduate from Dallas Theological Seminary with an emphasis in historical theology.For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.
