February feels like the real beginning of the year — and this tarot forecast helps us understand why.Our soul sister and Intuitive Tarot Therapist Michelle Nolan is back with her February Tarot Forecast, helping us make sense of the energetic intensity many of us are already feeling. After January's surprising momentum, February marks the true energetic launch of the year, aligning with the Fire Horse energy and a powerful shift forward.In this episode, Michelle shares how to work with February's unfolding energy rather than resisting it — so you can move through the month with clarity, intention, and heart-centered awareness.Using her Crow Tarot deck (her personal spirit animal for the year), Michelle guides us through the themes emerging for February, offering insight into how past, present, and future are converging — and what that means for your personal path.We explore:Why January felt anything but slow — and what that momentum revealed about the year aheadFebruary as the true energetic launch point of 2026What it means to work with intensity instead of trying to control or resist itHow past, present, and future are converging — and why trusting what you already know matters nowThe symbolism of the Crow as a seer, messenger, and bridge between worldsLetting go of hesitation and outdated patterns that no longer match who you're becomingWhy February favors clarity over comfort and truth over avoidanceStaying energetically flexible as plans, timelines, and perspectives shiftHow to co-create from a place of intention, momentum, and heart-centered actionThis conversation is both a forecast and a guide — reminding us that tarot isn't about prediction, but about partnership with the energy that's already in motion.If you've been feeling the shift, this episode will help you understand it — and move forward with trust.WORK WITH MICHELLEEmail her at m@mtnolan.comFollow her at @m1che11e.no1anReach out to her in seekingcentercommunity.com Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

What do long-term franchise operators know that others miss?Longevity in retail is earned, not engineered.Chris Ressa and David Habas, Managing Partner at HK Enterprises, unpack what it actually takes to build and operate a service retail business over decades, cycles, and constant change.Habas brings nearly 30 years of franchising experience and a rare dual lens as both an operator and someone who came up through commercial real estate. That perspective shows up throughout the discussion, from how Supercuts' footprint and service model have evolved, to why tracking customer counts still matters more than chasing top-line growth alone. He shares real AUV benchmarks, candid insights on post-COVID demand shifts, and why price increases only work when paired with consistency and execution.The conversation scales when Habas walks through a pivotal Boston relocation, moving from an iconic, high-rent location to a smaller, smarter space around the corner and growing the business in the process. The takeaway is simple and sharp: great operators don't fight change, they design around it.For retailers, franchisees, and landlords alike, this episode reinforces a core truth of open-air retail: durable brands are built by people who think long-term, understand real estate, and know how to adapt without losing the customer.What You'll HearWhy longevity in franchising comes from following the system, not trying to outsmart itHow the salon industry has evolved post-COVID and what “butts in the chair” really tells youReal AUV benchmarks and what separates top-performing locations from the rest of the systemThe tradeoffs between organic growth, acquisitions, and relocations when space is limitedA first-hand look at relocating an iconic Boston store and growing sales while lowering rentHow strong landlord relationships create flexibility during moments of disruptionWhy service retail still wins on consistency, efficiency, and customer trustLessons from building a multi-decade business with a long-tenured leadership teamChapters00:00 – Building a Franchise Before Franchising Was CoolDavid Habas shares his path into franchising and how HK Enterprises grew into one of the largest Supercuts franchise operators over multiple decades and markets.04:45 – How the Salon Industry Has Actually ChangedFrom oversized footprints to tighter, more efficient stores, Habas breaks down how customer needs, services, and layouts have evolved.07:20 – Post-COVID Reality: Traffic, Frequency, and RevenueA candid look at customer behavior shifts, why frequency matters more than headlines, and how the business is tracking recovery.10:30 – AUVs, Scale, and What Performance Really Looks LikeHabas...

Burnout does not always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like a successful career, a stable job, and a life that makes sense on paper. And still, your body knows something is wrong. If you have ever found yourself in the middle of a midlife career shift, questioning your work, or wondering why you feel exhausted even when everything seems fine, this conversation will meet you right where you are.In this episode, I talk with Ellen Whitlock Baker about the quiet unraveling that led to her line-in-the-sand moment. Years of people-pleasing, pushing through, and trying to belong in systems that were never built for her finally caught up with her in the most unexpected place. Sitting in a theater, watching the musical Beetlejuice, Ellen broke down. Not because the show was sad, but because her body had reached its limit. What followed was a brave decision to walk away from a very stable job and begin rebuilding a life and career rooted in alignment instead of obligation.This is a story about workplace burnout and listening to yourself before everything falls apart. About honoring the signals you have learned to ignore. And about trusting that even when the next step feels risky, there is another way to live and work that does not cost you yourself.What You'll HearWhat burnout feels like before you have language for itHow belonging, or the lack of it, quietly shapes our career choicesThe moment Ellen's body finally said enoughWhy leaving a stable job can feel terrifying and deeply right at the same timeWhat rebuilding looks like when you choose alignment over approvalA reminder that it is not you that is broken; sometimes it is the systemGuest BioEllen Whitlock Baker is the founder and CEO of EWB Coaching, where she helps professionals learn how to prioritize themselves in a world that often tells them not to. With empathy and honesty at the center of her work, Ellen supports leaders in understanding their strengths and building careers that feel sustainable, human, and aligned.With more than 20 years of workplace experience and certification through the International Coaching Federation, Ellen works with individuals and organizations through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and courses. After navigating her own experiences with burnout and self-doubt, she is on a mission to help others never reach that breaking point.

In this episode of Get Scene Unscripted, Jesse Malinowski does something actors rarely talk about — he breaks down the three smallest residual checks he's ever received, including checks for just one cent, and the lessons each one taught him at different stages of his career.Jesse walks through:Why tiny residuals don't mean a job wasn't worth itHow investing in a market can take years before it pays offThe sacrifices he made to break into the New Orleans marketWhy how you frame your experience in a slate mattersHow one booking reignited his confidence after a long droughtWhy the meaning of a role changes depending on where you are in your careerThis episode is about perspective, patience, and long-term thinking — not chasing surface-level wins, but understanding what each opportunity can unlock over time.
In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I'm joined by dating and relationship coach Laurie Gerber, host of the Love at Any Age podcast and a longtime friend of the show, for a timely conversation about love, connection, and reclaiming Valentine's Day at any stage of life.Together, we unpack why Valentine's Day can bring so much pressure and disappointment, how unspoken expectations quietly erode intimacy, and what it really takes to feel seen, heard, and cherished in relationships. In this episode, we discuss:Why Valentine's Day triggers pressure, comparison, and resentment, and how to reclaim itHow unspoken expectations sabotage intimacy in long-term relationshipsThe power of listening (and why feeling heard changes everything)Why love doesn't “just happen” and how to design it intentionallyHow to communicate desires without guilt, testing, or mind-readingPractical ways to create connection (whether you're single or partnered)The types of dates that can reignite passion, play, and closeness at any ageWhy midlife is a powerful time to redefine romance on your own termsFor more on Laurie Gerber, follow her on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lauriegerberdatingcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauriegerber_coach/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriegerberYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lauriegerbercoachListen to her podcast, Love At Any Age: https://lauriegerbercoach.podbean.com/Sign up for her FREE webinar ‘3 Secrets to Finding and Maintaining Healthy Love without Repeated Disappointments: https://www.lauriegerber.com/webinar Thanks to my Sponsors:Wildgrain: Visit Wildgrain.com/FLOURISHING or use promo code FLOURISHING at checkout for $30 off your first box and free croissants for lifeHoneylove: Save 20% off Honeylove by going to honeylove.com/OVER50 #honeylovepodHers: If you want clearer insight into your health, go to ForHers.com and schedule your labs.

In today's episode, Meech kicks off February's “SELF” series with the truth nobody wants to say out loud: you can't talk about confidence, self-awareness, or self-love if you refuse to hold yourself accountable.This one comes in hot.Because accountability isn't about embarrassing people, tearing them down, or yelling just to yell. It's about owning your shit — the good, the bad, the ugly, and the part you keep pretending ain't yours.Meech breaks down:What accountability REALLY isWhy so many people avoid itHow “being a shitbag” became a joke — and why it shouldn't beThe moment he realized HE was the problemHow accountability raises your personal standardWhy everything in your life keeps falling apart when you don't accept your part in the messHow to actually start fixing yourself instead of blaming everyone elseUsing stories from his junior Marine days, personal failures, and the transformation that kept him from going back to Detroit, Meech explains why accountability is the foundation for every other form of self-development.If you've ever wondered why the same problems keep finding you in the gym, in relationships, in the Marine Corps, at work, or in life… this episode is the mirror you've been avoiding.This isn't about motivation.This is about YOU.New episodes every Monday.Stay locked in.
Ride for Life 2026: Stopping Cancer in Its TracksThis week's episode of the Zeigler DRIVE Podcast goes far beyond the showroom.It's about purpose, adversity, and what it really means to show up for people when it matters most.
In Part 2 of our conversation with performance nutritionist Daniel Davey, we go deeper into the psychology of behavior change and why traditional nutrition advice often fails. Daniel shares profound insights on coaching the person, not just the problem, and how childhood experiences shape our relationship with food.What You'll Learn:Daniel opens up about the influences that shaped his coaching approach—from his father's extraordinary listening skills to working with Jim Gavin and Dublin's five-in-a-row All-Ireland winning team. He reveals why the hardest part of his job isn't the nutrition science, but helping people realize they have the answers within themselves.We explore the complex relationship between identity, body image, and performance—including how male athletes struggle with body image in ways that often go unaddressed. Daniel shares vulnerable stories about his own journey and why sometimes athletes need a "boot in the hole" while others need a hug.Key Topics:Why 3-5 minutes is enough for nutrition advice, but 55 minutes is needed to understand the personThe difference between knowing what to do and being able to do itHow childhood experiences shape our relationship with foodIdentity vs. body image: Understanding the distinction in elite sportWorking with professional vs. amateur athletes: What actually changesThe alcohol conversation: Culture, masculinity, and performance in Irish sportWhy confidence—not meal plans—is the ultimate outcome of good nutrition coachingSimple environmental changes that support good nutrition (hint: fruit baskets and microwaves matter)Perfect for: Coaches who want to understand behavior change beyond their sport, practitioners working in nutrition or lifestyle coaching, and anyone interested in the deeper psychology of performance.Daniel challenges coaches to examine their own relationship with food and asks: Are you embodying the behaviors you want to see in your athletes? This conversation goes far beyond nutrition—it's about what it means to truly support human performance.Links & Resources:Daniel Davey's Website: daveynutrition.com (for recipes, articles, and consultation info).Books by Daniel Davey: Eat Up, Raise Your Game and Eat Up: The Next Level.Daniel Davey on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-davey-8326a839/ Join the TOC Coach Community for FREE https://www.skool.com/toccoach/aboutSubscribe to the Team Culture Toolbox Newsletter so you don't miss the notes to this and every episode! https://tocculture.com/culture-toolboxLearn More and Apply for the next TOC Coaching Retreat: https://www.tocculture.com/retreat Learn More about Besty Butterick and her work with coaches! https://betsybutterick.com/
Your child goes every time you take them. No more diapers. You're reminding them every two or three hours and they're keeping their pants dry. You did it, right?Not yet.In this episode, I'm talking about the stage where most parents get comfortable—and stuck. That in-between place where your child will use the toilet when prompted, but they're not going on their own. I call it prompt dependence, and it's where so many families park themselves because they're scared of losing the progress they worked so hard to get.I get it. You spent years in diapers. You finally got them going. Now I'm asking you to shake the tree again? Yes. Because true potty training independence isn't your child going when YOU tell them to—it's them feeling nature call and answering it themselves.I'm breaking down why parents get stuck here, what's really driving the fear of “regression,” and how to widen the window so your child can start hearing their own body instead of waiting for your voice.In This Episode:The difference between going on command and true independenceWhy the autism community's fear of regression keeps parents stuckWhat “widen the window” means and how to do itHow to handle accidents during this stage without losing progressWhy your child won't start from zero if they regress—and the science behind thatThe mindset shift that changes everything: “I created this result, so I can create it again”Key Takeaways:If you're reminding your child every 2-3 hours and they're going, that's a win—but it's not the finish line.There are two voices that can tell your child when to go: your external voice and their body's internal voice. They've learned to listen to yours. Now they need the opportunity to hear theirs.Regression isn't death. When you get back on the horse, you don't start at zero—you start just a little before where you were and pick up quickly.Your survival brain and your child are both going to fight for comfort. Your higher brain knows what's possible.You didn't get this far by accident. You worked for it. That means you can get it back—and go further.Quotables:“We didn't have babies just to live survival lives. We had babies to teach them to thrive.”“True independence is when the child feels their body needing to go, and they go release on their own.”“If I created that result, I can create it again. It didn't just happen to me. It wasn't magic potty pixie dust.”“Every up-level is shaking your tree. It's going to be uncomfortable. Your brain's going to tell you all the reasons not to mess things up. That's not the life you signed up to live.”
I'm recording this one off the cuff, because it matters.I cry a lot. I cry every day. Sometimes I cry because I'm sad. Sometimes I cry because I'm angry, happy, proud — or because I just need to cry. I've always been this way, and if you're listening to this, you probably are too.In this episode, I talk about why crying isn't something to fix — and why nothing has gone wrong when tears show up. We've been taught to feel shame or guilt when we cry, especially in front of other people, but that doesn't mean crying is wrong. More often than not, it just means other people don't have the tools to be with it.This is a conversation about sensitivity, emotion, and why big girls do cry — not because we're weak, but because we feel deeply, we care, and we're human.In This Episode, I Cover:Why I cry every day — and why that's not a problemThe shame and guilt many women feel when they cry in front of othersWhy people try to fix crying instead of allowing itHow we're taught that crying is inappropriate or “too much”Why crying isn't manipulativeCrying as release, connection, and a non-aggressive expression of emotionA thought to try on: Big girls do cry — and I'm okay with myself when I doA question to sit with:What happens when I let myself cry without making it mean something has gone wrong?You don't need to answer it — just notice the urge to stop it, explain it, apologize for it, or judge yourself for it.That noticing is the work.If this episode brought up relief, resistance, or confusion, you're not alone — and you don't have to carry it by yourself.✨ Come say hi on Instagram: @theamandahessI'd love to hear what this stirred for you — the real, unpolished version.If this episode resonated and you want support applying this work to your real life, I'd love to talk with you.I currently have space in my 1:1 coaching practice.Book a discovery call here:

Stories run us, until we can see them. In this episode, Kristina and Anna unpack how “the subconscious” is less a black box and more an ecology of repeating narratives. They move from storytelling tropes (plot armor, fish-out-of-water) into a bigger claim. Our inner villains are story structures, and healing is stewardship, not erasure. Along the way, they explore ancestral threads, family patterning, and a practical way to step out of the script mid-scene.Key TopicsWhy common storytelling tropes feel manipulative once you can “see the scaffolding”Plot armor, fish-out-of-water, and how character arcs predict what “can” happen in a storyThe idea that the subconscious is knowable, because it's made of stories, not mysteryA working hypothesis: the nine Inner Villains are nine recurring story structures in human lifeStewardship vs elimination. You don't delete the story, you change how it plays outAncestral patterning, embodiment, and what it means to carry a lineage thread without becoming itHow relationship dynamics can become “setups” that keep a villain role alive (the trash-day example)Sankhara, craving, aversion. As story addiction, not just “bad habits”Choosing an arc intentionally. Using attention as the lever for behavioral changeA simple exercise: identify what chapter you're in, then choose a different next pageNotable Moments and Quotes (short excerpts)“The subconscious is not unknowable.”“We are taught we are just the tree, not the root system.”“Trauma is not the beginning of something. It's the middle of something.”“You're not that character anymore.”“I'm sick of choosing the same page.”Practical Takeaways1) Name the script while you're in itWhen you hear yourself saying lines you've said a hundred times, pause and label it: “Oh, this is that story.”2) Swap “fixing” for “stewarding”Ask: “What would the easier version of this lesson look like?” Not “How do I eliminate this forever?”3) Find the setupIf a conflict repeats like clockwork, assume there's a hidden payoff. Example: being the savior, being righteous, being indispensable.4) Use attention as your control leverBehavior is mostly automatic. Attention is the steering wheel. Practice moving attention on purpose.5) Try the chapter exercise“This is the chapter where I'm angry.”“This is the chapter where I make a plan.”“This is the chapter where the protagonist stops performing the old role.”Suggested Listener Reflection PromptsWhat story do I keep reenacting because it gives me an identity?Where do I get to be the savior, the martyr, or the judge?What would it look like to let consequences happen without drama?If I'm not trying to “win” this scene, what choice becomes available?Which arc am I unintentionally feeding with my attention right now?MentionedDelaney Rowe (comedian, Instagram) for character trope satireGame of Thrones as an example of subverting plot armorFallout as fish-out-of-water worldbuildingThe Pitt (HBO) as fish-out-of-water workplace introductionMurder at the End of the World (Brit Marling) as a female-led “sleuth” archetypeRichard Powers, The Overstory and the root network metaphorAboriginal Australian songlines and ancestral story-carryingAinslie MacLeod (past-life framing and “you're not in that story anymore”)Drama Triangle vs Empowerment Triangle (reframing roles and choice)Listener HomeworkPick one recurring conflict this week.Name the story.Identify your role.Choose one small inversion. A different tone, a different action, or no action at all.Notice what becomes possible when you refuse the old script.Call to ActionIf this episode hit you, send Kristina and Anna a note with:The story you're realizing you live inside, andThe one choice you want to practice to steward it differently.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Send us a textYou've had insight before. The clarity, conviction, and even real momentum. And yet, somehow, it didn't last.If you've ever wondered why meaningful change feels so hard to sustain, this episode is for you.In this conversation, Amy explores why insight alone—no matter how true or powerful—rarely leads to lasting transformation. Not because you failed, but because insight was never meant to carry the full weight of change on its own.This episode gently reframes skepticism as wisdom-in-the-making and invites you to consider a different path forward & one rooted in formation rather than intensity.You'll explore:Why insight often sparks change but can't sustain itHow intensity-based growth struggles to survive real lifeWhy seasons of disappointment don't mean you're resistantThe difference between performance-driven change and formation that lastsWhat it means to stay with your story long enough for wisdom to take rootThis isn't a call to try harder or hope faster. It's an invitation to slow down, notice patterns, and consider what kind of change can actually be carried over time.If you've been protecting yourself from false hope (or wondering why past breakthroughs faded), this episode offers language, clarity, and a steadier way forward.Not through reinvention.

What You'll Learn:Why pushing through your thoughts and feelings is actually slowing you down and how learning to process them creates relief instead of more overwhelmHow my clients learn to work with their brain (especially ADHD and neurodivergent brains) instead of forcing strategies that were never designed for themHow to spend your time intentionally -- even when time feels scarce -- so it supports your life instead of draining itHow these shifts create more clarity, energy, and control without requiring you to do moreIf This Resonates…If you're nodding along thinking, “Yep… this is me,” I'd love to support you. You don't need another planner or productivity system...you need support that actually fits your brain and your life. You're welcome to book a free consult to ask questions, talk things through, or explore what coaching could look like for you.Resources & Links:

Y'all, we're about to get real about something that's been grinding my gears lately - the epidemic of self-proclaimed kings and queens. It's time to separate the true royalty from the pretenders, and trust me, it's gonna ruffle some feathers.What's brewing in this episode:Why not everyone deserves a crown (spoiler: most of us are peasants, and that's okay)The harsh truth about emotional leadership and why it's a recipe for disasterHow social media is creating a generation of delusional monarchsThe real qualities that make a king or queen worthy of their titlePlus, we're serving up some tough love on:Why your boring life story doesn't need a royal rewriteThe difference between saying you're royalty and actually living up to itHow true leaders handle unpopular decisions and confront issues head-onThe importance of diplomacy, even when dealing with people you can't standWarning: This episode might make you question your self-proclaimed royal status. We're not sugar-coating anything here – it's time to face the truth about what it really means to be a king or queen.So grab your favorite drink (maybe leave the crown at home), settle in, and get ready for a reality check on leadership, relationships, and the danger of believing your own hype. It's time to separate the true royals from the wannabes.Remember, heavy is the head that wears the crown. Are you truly ready for that weight, or are you just playing dress-up?
Your body already knows how to release stress — but you've been taught to suppress it. In this Mind Architect episode, Dr. David Berceli, creator of TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises), reveals how our natural tremor mechanism can help us discharge tension, process trauma, and restore balance.Dr. David Berceli developed TRE while living in war zones, observing how humans naturally contract and release during threat. His method has now spread to over 80 countries. Joining him is Elvira Stanescu, an internationally certified TRE provider who has been practicing for nearly 5 years. Facilitating the conversation is our colleague Adrian Dinu. We explored the following topics in our conversation with David and Elvira: Why children shake naturally during stress — and why adults suppress itHow tremoring communicates between the nervous system and brainThe difference between exhausting yourself through exercise vs. actual releaseHow TRE can help parents, athletes, helping professionals, and couplesCurrent research on TRE and depression from studies in ChinaResources mentioned:Dr. David Berceli's book on TRE (now available in Romanian) David's website Romanian TRE Association TRE Global website Dr. David Berceli's YouTube Channel for research results and tutorialsFive ongoing research projects in China examining brain activity changes with TRE, including studies on depressed teenagers and their parentsYou can join us live during episode recordings and get your questions answered directly by becoming a Mind Architect Premium Member here Episode produced in partnership with Editura Herald."(00:00) Introduction: The body's hidden stress release mechanism""(01:50) Welcome and episode overview""(03:55) How Dr. Berceli discovered TRE in war zones""(06:30) The tremor mechanism in all mammals""(08:35) What happens in the body when we tremor""(12:01) How people experience tremoring in the beginning""(14:07) Tension vs. trauma: Why both matter""(17:09) The risk of overwhelm and how to self-regulate""(20:13) Dos and don'ts: How to start practicing TRE safely""(23:57) TRE vs. exhausting exercise: What's the difference?""(26:32) How the body takes over and releases patterns""(29:14) TRE for athletes and military personnel""(36:41) Cultural adaptations: China, Latin America, Romania""(44:50) TRE for helping professionals: Coaches, therapists, trainers""(50:13) How to integrate mind and body without forcing it""(54:30) TRE for parents and family systems""(01:00:00) The body's ability to heal specific injuries""(01:01:48) Collective trauma and healing in community""(01:11:50) The future: Vibration, sound, and medicine""(01:14:45) Resources and where to learn more"

Jealousy isn't a flaw. It's not a failure.And it's almost never about your partner.In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, Ellecia unpacks a powerful realization sparked by reading Financial Feminist:the way we experience jealousy is strikingly similar to the way we experience money shame.Both are rooted in scarcity.Both are tied to safety, worth, and fear of loss.And both get way more painful when we shame ourselves for feeling them.In this episode, you'll learn:Why jealousy is often rooted in shame, not insecurity or immaturityHow scarcity brain shows up in relationships, especially non-monogamous onesWhy non-monogamy doesn't create jealousy, it reveals where safety was never taughtThe difference between trying to “fix” jealousy and actually listening to itHow to stop abandoning yourself when jealousy hitsA gentle somatic practice to bring your nervous system back online in the momentEllecia also shares why she's been diving deeper into financial education, and how living outside the box, in relationships, careers, and family structures, requires us to build security intentionally instead of relying on default scripts.If you've ever thought, “Why am I like this?” when jealousy shows up, this episode offers a compassionate reframe that might change everything.Send us a textSupport the show

Are you constantly interrupted by household stuff all week long? The emails from school, the forms that need signing, the bills that aren't on autopay, the portals that need checking. For years, I was handling these things every single day, either stopping what I was doing or carving out time each afternoon to stay on top of it all. But here's what I finally figured out: most of that stuff didn't actually need to be done that day. It just felt urgent because I didn't have a system for it.Today I'm breaking down what I call my Household COO time. It's a dedicated block of time (usually about two hours) that I schedule once a week to handle all the household coordination stuff that piled up during the week. This one shift has changed my stress levels, my focus during the week, and honestly got rid of a ton of resentment I didn't even realize I was carrying.In This Episode, I'll Cover:What Household COO time is and what goes into itHow to decide what needs handling now versus laterThe three places to collect everything that piles upWhy making this work visible changed everything for my familyHow batching saves time and reduces daily interruptionsJoin the FREE One Notebook Challengeand Kiss your Notebook Clutter GoodbyeFebruary 2-6, 2026www.megansumrell.com/onenotebook ________________________________

If you're a nonfiction author—especially a coach, consultant, speaker, or thought leader—there's a moment you eventually reach in the publishing process:How much of selling my book is really on me… and how much depends on the publishing path I choose?In this episode of Your Path to Book Publishing, we unpack a mindset that shows up consistently across self-publishing, hybrid publishing, and traditional publishing—and why understanding this early can change how you approach book marketing, momentum, and long-term visibility.Rather than focusing on tactics or launch hacks, this conversation reframes what ownership actually looks like for authors—and why being invested in your book's success isn't a burden, but an advantage.In this episode, you'll explore:Why publishing infrastructure supports momentum—but doesn't create itHow book sales tend to work across different publishing pathsThe role authors play in early traction and long-term visibilityWhy effective book marketing is about intention, not volumeHow to integrate your book naturally into the work you're already doingThis episode is especially helpful if you've ever felt unsure about where your responsibility begins—or if you've been waiting for the “system” to take over after publication.

How do we move beyond the limits of a single test score to truly see the brilliance and potential of every child? In this riveting episode of Voices for Excellence, Dr. Michael Conner is joined by two extraordinary education leaders who bring over six decades of combined insight to answer that very question.Dr. Mark King, Vice President of Education at Arts for Learning Maryland and author of The Middle School Master, joins Melinda Cook, Head of Assessment Strategies at Riverside Insights, to reimagine what it means to educate and evaluate the whole learner. With a fierce devotion to equity, they dismantle outdated models that narrowly define success, instead championing structures that are developmentally responsive, cognitively rich, and rooted in relationships.From rethinking the master schedule to unlock deeper learning, to providing teachers with purpose-driven professional development, to using multiple measures of data that recognize each student's unique capacity—Dr. King and Ms. Cook offer a framework for systemic transformation. Their stories and strategies illuminate what's possible when schools value students not just for their output but for their complexity, strengths, and promise.What you'll learn in this episode: Why arts integration, engagement, and differentiation are essential to middle school successHow multiple measures of data reveal student potential—not just proficiency Why professional development must evolve to align with Generation Alpha & Beta learnersHow shifting from a deficit lens to an asset-based mindset changes lives Why erroneous placement in special education is an equity issue—and what to do about itHow accountability should be redefined as growth-centered and relational, not punitiveDr. Conner, as ever, guides the discussion with both urgency and humanity, highlighting how leaders must build agile, high-performing systems that honor students' lived experiences, cultural assets, and future readiness. This episode is a call to see students as whole—as gifted, as creative, and as capable of extraordinary success.Subscribe and share to continue driving the future of education for all.
What should we expect when we pray?In this message, we continue our teaching during Fervent Week of Prayer by confronting a quiet but common form of spiritual complacency: prayer that speaks to God but never listens for Him.Drawing from multiple passages throughout Scripture—including Acts, James, Jeremiah, and the life of Jesus—this teaching reminds us that prayer was never meant to be a one-way conversation. Again and again, the Bible shows a consistent pattern: when God's people prayed, God responded—with direction, wisdom, correction, comfort, and clarity.In this message, we explore:Why Scripture presents prayer as a conversation, not a ritualHow expectation shapes our experience of prayerWhy apathy often grows when prayer becomes passive or disengagedJesus' own example of withdrawing to hear the Father's voiceHow fervent prayer requires intention, focus, and disciplineWhy learning to hear God's voice begins by actually seeking itHow prayer is meant to build up not only individuals, but the entire body of ChristWe are also reminded that hearing from God is not reserved for a select few—it is part of the normal Christian life and essential for Spirit-led ministry within the church. When believers engage God personally in prayer, the result is a community strengthened by timely encouragement, direction, and care.This message leads into a time of corporate prayer, inviting the church to listen, respond, and trust that God is present and active among His people.If your prayer life has felt distant, routine, or silent, this teaching calls you to re-engage with expectation—believing that God still speaks and desires to lead His people today.
