Do You Love Me as Much as the Kids? A Conversation Every Couple Needs One of our friends recently asked his wife, “Do you love me as much as the kids?” and it sparked a powerful conversation about love, priorities, and intimacy in marriage. Many husbands have shared with us, through messages or emails, that sometimes they feel like they come after everything else, especially the kids. And yes, this can go both ways, of course.Instead of quickly answering, “Of course not! Duh!”, take a moment to reflect on your own marriage. Does your spouse feel the need to ask this? Why? It's not a bad question, it's deeply important. When discussed in a loving, thoughtful way, it can strengthen connection, clarify needs, and prevent resentment.In this episode, we dive into:Why husbands ask this question and what's really underneath itHow wives may unintentionally spark this concernHow to balance parenting and marriage without guilt or competitionConversation questions that can transform your connectionPlus 5+ Questions Couples Can Ask Each Other on this episode:When do you feel most loved and prioritized by me?Do you ever feel like the kids come before you, and if so, what does that look like?How can I reassure you that you're my spouse first, even in busy seasons?What would “balance” between marriage and kids look like in this season?What's one intentional or fun thing we could do this week to remind each other that our marriage comes first?Tune in for honest, heartfelt advice that will inspire you to keep your marriage at the center of your life. If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Send us a textIn this episode we interview Billy Cripe, Global Vice President of Marketing at Solifi, a leading financial services SaaS company.Billy shares deep insight into the intersection of content, scalability, and AI—grounded in years of experience across B2B SaaS, demand generation, and sales enablement.What you'll learn in this episode:Why content is more than a marketing asset—it's a gravitational force for engagementHow to measure content's true impact beyond surface-level metricsThe internal cost of unused content and how to avoid itHow marketers can build with empathy by listening to frontline teamsWhy AI will transform marketers from creators to curatorsWhat the future of content looks like in an LLM-powered world

Send us a textYour continuous hustle has nothing to do with your to-do list—and everything to do with the perspective you bring to it.In this episode, we're diving deep into perspective—and how a single shift in the way you see your commitments can turn a packed schedule into a day that feels effortless.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why your perspective shapes your life experience more than your schedule doesHow neuroscience proves that labeling tasks as “choices” versus “obligations” changes your brain chemistryThe cycle women get stuck in: Overwhelm → Scarcity → DisconnectionWhy structure is freedom—and how it accelerates momentum instead of limiting itHow to break the myth that “ease” means doing nothingPractical shifts to reframe your daily commitments into aligned choicesThe Science of PerspectiveThis isn't just mindset fluff—it's quantum physics and neuroscience. Your subconscious filters every experience through the meaning you assign. When you call something an “obligation,” your body responds with stress: cortisol spikes, focus narrows, and the day feels heavy.But when you shift perspective and frame the same tasks as choices you get to make, your brain releases dopamine and serotonin—chemicals linked with motivation, satisfaction, and flow.The result? Momentum builds. Willpower is no longer resistance, it becomes aligned energy.Real Life ExampleOn what was supposed to be a “day off,” I spent 8 hours nonstop running errands, meeting family for meals, and handling life admin. Instead of exhaustion, I felt ease and even joy. Why? Because my perspective shaped the entire day.Same schedule. Different lens. That's the difference between burnout and flow.Why This Matters for Women65% of women in the U.S. report feeling overwhelmed trying to balance personal, professional, and family responsibilities. That exhaustion isn't caused by the tasks themselves—it's the internal story of obligation.When you shift into alignment, you reclaim your power. You create structure not as confinement, but as a channel for freedom.This is the path of the Shapeshifter—one who learns to transform obligation into choice, scarcity into abundance, and hustle into flow.Your Next StepIf you're ready to evolve your perspective and expand your reality, I invite you to join my Shapeshifter Signal mailing list. It's my weekly frequency upgrade—packed with insights, practices, and even induction hypnosis to rewire your subconscious and help you create momentum from alignment.➡️ [Join the Shapeshifter Signal through the link in the show notes]Remember:  Ease isn't found in escape.

As planning season kicks into gear, I'm sharing one powerful question that every nonprofit leader should ask before setting next year's goals. It's a short episode, but it goes deep — because how you approach planning is just as important as what ends up in your plan. If you've been feeling stuck in survival mode, quietly absorbing the pressure of growth, or running on grit instead of clarity, this episode is for you.I walk through the subtle but critical difference between bracing and leading — and how that distinction can reshape your strategy, systems, and capacity going into the new year.In this episode, you'll learn:The difference between “bracing” through growth and leading through itHow to spot signs of burnout-inducing systems (or lack thereof)Key mindset shifts for designing a sustainable organizationKey Takeaways:Bracing means absorbing pressure and defaulting to overwork; leading means designing systems to carry the weight.If you're bracing, your team is too — your operating style sets the tone.You can't grow beyond the strength of your organizational design.Reflection Prompts (Step-by-Step Planning Prep):Ask yourself these questions as you design your goals and work plan:What am I tolerating or carrying that a system could solve? → Identify where your energy is patching holes that systems should fix.Where am I overworking to compensate for a weak container? → Look for signs you're doing more because your structure does less.What did I ‘white-knuckle' this year? → Pinpoint where urgency, not strategy, drove your decision-making.What part of the organization feels fragile or heavy? → That's your signal for a design upgrade.If I stepped into the role of architect instead of operator, what would change? → Envision what would shift if you led through structure, not scramble.Now is the time to invest in smart, strategic redesign of what's blocking your org's growth.

You didn't choose the roles you're performing — but they're shaping your marriage. This episode helps high-capacity humans break free from inherited scripts and rebuild intimacy through identity, not obligation.If your marriage feels more like a performance than a partnership — this episode will hit home.In Breaking Free from Legacy Roles, Julie Holly exposes the invisible scripts that quietly sabotage even the most well-intentioned relationships. These unspoken roles — often inherited through family, faith, or culture — sound virtuous but lead to disconnection, resentment, and exhaustion.Through story, Scripture, and the ILR lens, Julie invites high-capacity humans to confront the identities they've outgrown — and realign with the truth of who they are.You'll discover:What “legacy roles” are — and how they form through family, faith, culture, and survivalWhy high-capacity humans often over-function in marriage without realizing itHow even healthy marriages suffer when partners unconsciously perform roles like The Fixer, The Provider, or The NurturerSpecific examples of how these scripts show up in real life — from emotional suppression to over-sacrificeHow Julie's personal journey through an abusive marriage shaped her understanding of identity, obedience, and spiritual alignmentWhy success-oriented couples often feel disconnected, even when they “do everything right”How Identity-Level Recalibration helps you dissolve the old roles without destroying what you've builtA practical Micro Recalibration to help you uncover and release your inherited rolesA question for couples to explore how they've co-authored unhealthy scripts — and what new roles are possibleThis episode is not about behavior management.It's not about better communication techniques.It's about recalibrating the root of who you are — so that love, intimacy, and connection can grow from alignment, not obligation.

Kids don't need us to keep them happy all the time, they need us to help them handle their emotions.

He gives us a sneak peek into some of the key lessons from the book, including practical strategies you can start applying today to improve your health.What you'll learn in this episode:The #1 reason cortisol impacts your body, energy, and long-term healthWhy too much (or too little) cortisol can affect fat loss, muscle gain, and recoveryThe hidden ways technology elevates stress and what to do about itHow supplements can support you and why some simply don't workHOW TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY!!Follow @rebalancehealth + myself if you're not already :) (@chelseyrosehealth)Comment on my latest post & tell me what actually really helps you destress. Giveaway CLOSES Sept 9th.I will pick THREE winners to win Justin's NEW BOOK "Stress Nation" + your choice of 1 of 3 bundles Bundle 1 - Melomints + DREAM (good for everyone)Bundle 2 - Menomints + DREAM (best for menopausal women)Bundle 3 - Manmints + DREAM (for the men in your life!)Start your 7 day FREE trial of my new app HERE!Want to work one on one with Chelsey?Set up a one on one consultation call here to see if personalized online training is right for you.Join a semi-private class in LA here.Email info@chelseyrosehealth.com to inquire about one on one in person training.Follow Chelsey on Instagram:@Chelseyrosehealth@StrengthtobuildFollow Chelsey on TikTok Here."Submit a question to the show"

Most reps wait until the end to drop a big finding like a cracked heat exchanger — but by then, it's too late. The buyer is in defense mode, objections are loaded, and trust evaporates.In this episode, we break down how to present major findings like heat exchangers in a way that builds certainty, not fear. Join me, Jason, and Bill as we unpack the psychology of belief stacking, timing, and identity-based sales conversations that lead the buyer to the truth — before you even say the words.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy “leading with evidence” often backfires when selling safety concernsThe psychology behind premature resistance — and how to sidestep itHow to frame and pace the discovery conversation to reduce fear and increase ownershipWhy sales is about identity, not information — especially in technical salesA new way to think about cracked heat exchangers (and similar high-stakes findings)Resources & Links

ShamelessFamily is freaking complex. For me? More disappointment, failure to meet expectations. Not being the son… or brother… the family ordered.Live long enoughYa get a lot right,Get a lot wrong.Get to knowWell enoughYa can't be a saintLurking in shadow…Living life perfectlyShameless.Shameless.Oh let me beShameless…No sun setsOn a painless life,So no moon shinesOn a stainless wife.Oh let me be… comeShameless.Scaling Mount MarcyThat night as Elvis died,Got branded a MountebankAs my sister grew colder.Stalking Death ValleySame sister… now dead… to meSame stars… chill my shouldersNow living life perfectlyShameless…Shameless.Oh let me beShameless…No peak capsAn aimless life,And no grave ever filledBy a blameless knife.Oh let me be… comeShameless…No mask hidesThe pain in life,So no words canExplain my fight.So, let me Be… comeShameless.I call this one it burns.

This one's rough. And long. And complex. It may not need a T.S. Eliot pretentious footnote. But I try to intertwine family, control, and religion. And real events from the winter of 97-98. When the Hale-Bopp comet was fading in the Northern New York skies. And the memory of the Heaven's Gate suicide cult was still fresh in the national mind.This is a hybrid piece. In my mind it's a movie. With scenes, background music. Jump cuts. But you guys probably loved Pulp Fiction. So I pray you can follow me.5. sneaking your mother's creepy g-d on highPrelude, December 1997I begin, “There…There's Heaven's Gate.”She fiddles with the binox dials.“Where should I look?”She asks breathless,Trudging bootless.I barely hear herOver the crackling snowBeneath my feet, but say,“There…That smudge in the sky.”I point again.UFO CultChooses Suicide,The TV said.Thirty-nine bodiesIn matching Nikes,The photo read…I close wet eyesTo the hiss & sizzleOf the Northern LightsOver my head,SilenceThen the cold murmurof the cold mother...“That's why they died?”She shrugs.My eyes open… careful, I shrug,“Maybe… they saw a signal from aliens.Or maybe God on high.Who knows what grimdark signThey read that silent night…”Wordless, clueless… a comet sailedRibbons of green and purple light.One cold blue, one hot pink tailFading from history's sight…So we stroll on intoFake New Year's dinnerCuz not everyoneCould schedule inThe Real One.How rare it isA two-tailed comet in the sky,A lover doesn't lie with her eyes,To greet one free man before you die,How rare it isHow rare it isDinner Musicmy mother in a halo of candlesmy mother wrapped in smokemy mother in dark shadowsmeasuring the length of my ropeShe gathers reports from her childrenThis year's fugue & pedal point,Her table a feast of sand.Youngest Mark files his,A new open source project…“I'm really getting seen.”Lifting my glass to himFrom the dark walnut table,I sip vodka… Neat.Martha next, from her foreign outpostA well-received talk given…Vodka.

Then toward the eternal sale table near the entrance. Pink and blue signs promising two if you'll just buy one…It's silent. Just me standing in front of her. Bottle of the Coke Zero I'm addicted to in my hand.Dusk. Rural Indiana. I guess the local beef cattlemen, horsey folks, and military munitions testers up at Crane Naval base? They don't hit Dollar General so much around sun down.“Sure. Nobody much comes in around now. S'up… you good?"I take a beat. To use my words… to find my words.“I'm trying to remember all you guys'… um, ya know, everybody's names….”“Oh, no worries. You're good. We really all should have name badges.”I take another beat. To switch appropriate gears.“You know. The autism thing. I have this face and name thing. It's weird… but I can't remember faces.”Awkward, awkward pause.If you're listening, if you're reading…Let me try to take you inside. My being…What's that like? I only see… Well, words fail me.Take a visit to Walmart. Just a sea of faceless ghosts. Folks I greet, “I know I know you… I have this thing. Can you tell me your name?”Embarrassment. Stammering apologies…See, it's like this…A swirl of flesh-colored fogThat's my wife's face in dreamsI only see her walking awayA grey ponytail., tattered jeansLove of my life… can't see her…Not her green eyes… in stage makeup…Just homemade tats… the shape of her hair…Feelings, memories… talking after that breakup…So, I'm talking to that DG clerk.“We don't get out much. You guys? I guess it's a job. But to us? You're… well, friends. It means something to me. To learn your name. To… know you.”“Oh.” Confused, she pauses. “It's really ok. We know you and your wife. We get it.”“You know?” I'm urgent. I want her to get… the weight of it. “It's not for you. It's for me. It means something to me. To remember your names. And put them with your faces. To be friends.”I flash on all those parental commands to “make friends.” Then say, “I just won't get it right away. But I want to enjoy… doing it.”Silence. Awkward. But intimate.I stammer. “Are you… are you, Ari?” When confused, my go-to fallback is details.“No, she's the short blond one.” She waves her right hand about shoulder high.“I know Kensington… cuz well I walked in on her anaphylactic…. Um, allergy attack. Over in the Dollar Aisle."“Yeah. She's the short one with black hair.” She gestures with her right hand, just a hair lower. “And I'm Cyndi.”We laugh. Together. She mentions the name tags again. I make reassuring noises.“That's Windy, right?”“No.” She laughs. “Cyndi… Just with the I and Y reversed.”“Oh, thank god. For a moment I misremembered again. Thought you were named after a sappy 60s song.”She laughs, easy… again. “No. Never. Not that..”We share a wink. A nod.The doors slide. I walk outside.“Cyndi. Just with the I and Y reversed."A swirl of flesh-colored fog. Framed by glasses. And twisted brown hair on her head.About… yay… tall.#AutisticAF Out Loud Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

"ADHD isn't a weakness or a superpower. It's just an operating system. And when you learn how to work inside your own operating system, you can actually become a power user." – Stephanie SchellerWhat if the quirks of your brain weren't obstacles to overcome but the foundation of how you build teams, businesses, and even your own self-confidence? What if the very things you thought were holding you back in leadership were actually the key to leading better?That's exactly the kind of reframing my guest, Stephanie Scheller, has done. Stephanie is an entrepreneur, violinist, author, and the founder of Grow Disrupt. She's also a leader who discovered later in life that ADHD had shaped everything about how she worked, led, and built her company. Instead of fighting it, she's learned to design her business and leadership style around the way her brain works - and she's sharing what that looks like in real life.You'll hear us discuss:Why ADHD isn't a weakness or a superpower, but an operating system you can learn to masterHow Stephanie spotted her own patterns and built “bumpers” into her life and work to keep moving forwardThe role of grace, anxiety, and depression in her journey - and the tools she uses when things start to spiralThe idea of “frozen tater days” and how her team uses this language to normalize and support each otherPractical ways leaders can support neurodiverse team members without lowering performance expectationsWhat it looks like to build events, businesses, and leadership practices that work with your brain, not against itHow shifting perspective from “fixing” to “designing for your brain” can change the way you lead and liveResourcesStephanie Scheller on LinkedIn | Grow DisruptWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

In this candid and insightful episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, hosts Jordan James and Simon Scott unpack the lived reality of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) — a form of demand sensitivity often misunderstood, dismissed, or mislabelled as laziness.From dodging the dishwasher to putting off doctor's appointments, and from procrastinating over paperwork to resisting even self-imposed goals, we explore:What PDA really is — and why the NHS still doesn't formally recognise itHow demands (even ones we place on ourselves) trigger an instant “no” responseThe link between PDA, trauma, anxiety, and the obsessive need for autonomyWhy even fun things can feel impossible once they become obligationsPractical examples: chores, eating, car washes, and the endless hurdle race of daily lifePartner strategies — how reframing demands as favours can unlock cooperationWhy small wins matter: celebrating every task completed as a genuine victoryHow to create accommodations that turn mountains back into molehillsWhether you're living with PDA yourself, raising a neurodivergent child, or just want to understand why “simple” tasks aren't simple at all, this conversation blends raw honesty, humour, and real-world strategies for navigating life when demand avoidance touches everything.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

What if dysregulation isn't the problem? I know I know- that's really hard to wrap our brain around! At least, it was for me. In this episode, I continue the conversation from last week's interview with Deb Dana and take a deeper dive into one of her most powerful insights: that dysregulation is simply part of being human—and it's the absence of repair that becomes the real challenge.But I think for parents of kids with big, baffling behaviors, we need to pause and explore that a little more. Because- in your home- dysregulation is a real problem!!!In this episode, you'll learn:Why dysregulation is a natural part of being human, and how polyvagal theory reframes it with compassion and hopeThe difference between dysregulation itself and the behaviors that can emerge from itHow offering repair—even when it isn't received—can create powerful shifts in your child's nervous system and in your ownResources mentioned in this podcast:Polyvagal Theory as a Path to Hope: Regulation, Repair, and Connection with guest Deb Dana {EP 233}The Club – my online parent community with resources, events, and connections!!!!The Attachment Series - eBookFree Resource Library Read the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/polyvagalhope***Apply now for the BBTI's Immersion Program for Professionals!Read all the details about the program and submit your application at RobynGobbel.com/Immersion*** :::Grab a copy of my book Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors robyngobbel.com/bookJoin us in The Club for more support! robyngobbel.com/TheClubApply for the Baffling Behavior Training Institute's Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With) robyngobbel.com/ImmersionFollow Me On:FacebookInstagram Over on my website you can find:Webinar and eBook on Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior (FREE)eBook on The Brilliance of Attachment (FREE)LOTS & LOTS of FREE ResourcesOngoing support, connection, and co-regulation for struggling parents: The ClubYear-Long Immersive & Holistic Training Program for Parenting Professionals: The Baffling Behavior Training Institute's (BBTI) Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With)

Most women believe once they get the guy, have the perfect body, or crush it at work - then they'll feel confident. In this episode of The New Truth, Kate spills the tea on true confidence—and why so many women who are perceived as confident, are actually deeply critical of themselves or even hate themselves on the inside. They might be confident in what they do, but not in who they are. Here's what she dives into:Why external confidence is not true confidenceThe sneaky ways women give their power away without even realizing itHow some of the most powerful, confident women are actually incredibly lonely and insecure on the insideThe 2 most important keys to access deep rooted, true confidence If you're done faking it, done trying to earn your worth, and ready to feel unshakably solid in yourself… this episode is for you. Confidence isn't something you get or achieve. It's not found in a checklist, or a perfect body. It's who you become when you stop abandoning yourself.Resources & Next Steps:FREE Discover Your Saboteur Mini Course: https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/discover-your-saboteurSubscribe to The New Truth & leave a review if this episode resonates deeplyExplore The Immersion with Kate: https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/the-immersionTo book a Free Call to explore working with Kate - click the link below: https://calendly.com/expanded-love/exploration-call-cloneAbout the Host:Kate Harlow is the founder of The Unscriptd Woman, the creator of The Expanded Love Coaching Method, and host of The New Truth podcast - ranked in the top 1.5% globally.

Tired of trying to hold it all together? This episode invites high-capacity humans to release the weight of time and trust the One who authored it — because real peace doesn't come from control, but from alignment.If you've been gripping time like it's all up to you — this episode will help you release the pressure and return to peace.In today's special Sunday recalibration, Julie Holly invites you to consider a radical shift: What if time wasn't yours to control?What if the fatigue, urgency, and striving you feel are not signs you're failing — but signs you're carrying what was never yours to hold?Through Scripture, personal reflection, and soul-level insight, Julie reveals how high-capacity humans often mistake reliability for control — and how that control becomes a silent burden. Whether you're faith-forward or faith-curious, this episode offers a healing perspective on time, stewardship, and identity.You'll explore:The hidden cost of trying to “steward time” without entrusting itHow performance and grief can feed hyper-productivityWhy timing is spiritual, not just strategicThe truth about divine participation vs. human pressureWhat King Solomon's story reveals about seasons and strivingHow to live aligned with God's timing instead of the world's urgencyJulie shares how the loss of her father intensified her hyper-performance — and how trusting God as the Author of time became the turning point.You'll leave with a powerful recalibration prompt, vertical encouragement, and a gentle but urgent invitation:You are not the source. You never were.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Where have I been trying to control time — instead of trusting its Author?” “What might shift if I stopped forcing and started aligning?”For team leaders:“How can we create rhythms of trust and stewardship instead of urgency?”This isn't a mindset tip. This isn't performance advice. This is identity recalibration — and it changes everything.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.
