What happens after trauma? Western culture often gives us a binary: move on or stay broken. In this episode, psychologist Dr. Thea Comeau offers a more nuanced and humane alternative: integration.We explore post-traumatic growth not as a neat redemption story, and not as a requirement, but as a possibility that can sit alongside pain, grief, confusion, and ongoing struggle. Thea explains how trauma can shatter our assumptions about safety, identity, and how the world works, and why healing is rarely neat or linear. For some people, recovery means finding their way back to who they were. For others, it means building something new.We also talk about what helps in the aftermath of trauma: surviving minute by minute, finding 1% more comfort where you can, taking manageable bites of processing through titration, and letting go of the idea that there is a “right” way to suffer or heal. Thea shares why “at least…” statements are so often harmful, why support matters, and how trauma can sometimes clarify what matters most.This is a grounded conversation about complexity — about making room for suffering without reducing someone to it, and allowing space for growth without forcing it.Key points covered / episode highlightsWhat post-traumatic growth is, and what it is notWhy trauma can disrupt identity, safety, and a person's sense of meaningThe difference between surviving, healing, and growingWhy healing after trauma is often non-linearThe five areas of post-traumatic growthThe role of titration: processing a little, then stepping awayWhy “at least…” statements can minimise pain rather than honour itThe importance of being heard, supported, and taken seriouslyHow trauma can shift values, priorities, and relationshipsWhy integration can be a more honest frame than “moving on”Chapters00:00 Introduction: trauma, suffering, and the idea of integration07:16 What is post-traumatic growth?07:16 What is trauma, and what helps in the early days15:10 Why growth is not the “right” outcome16:53 Thea's Northern Ireland research and values change after loss20:50 The five key areas of post-traumatic growth23:39 Misconceptions about growth, and why it should never be expected34:08 Why disruption matters, and what happens when core beliefs break38:37 How growth happens, what helps, and why social support matters46:36 The harm of “at least…” statements and how to better support someone53:12 Matching the right tools to the right phase of healing55:08 Trauma, complexity, and the false binary of “move on or stay broken”Guest bioDr. Thea Comeau is a registered psychologist, researcher, and Assistant Professor at Concordia University of Edmonton, where she directs training for the PsyD in Clinical Psychology program. Her work sits at the intersection of trauma and thriving. She's spent years studying how people find positive transformation after some of the worst experiences of their lives. Her doctoral research at McGill University took her to Northern Ireland, where she explored how personal values shifted among families who had lost loved ones to the conflict. That question, how do people hold pain and still build something meaningful, continues to drive her research, her teaching, and her clinical practice. She's also deeply invested in the wellbeing of the next generation of therapists, studying how training impacts clinician development and wellness.About Bountifull PodcastBountifull is a personal growth and wellbeing podcast exploring how to live a joyful and meaningful life.

Honestly, I don't know why it took me this long to get Chloe Daniels — aka Clo Bare Money Coach — on the show, because she is a whole badass and we have been living parallel lives for years. She went from a torrential relationship with money (including being financially trapped in a dangerous situation abroad) to becoming one of the most refreshing voices in personal finance.Her approach is called lazy investing — and before you scroll past that, hear her out. Because when BlackRock ran 100 years of market data, the results backed it up. We're getting into all of it: the mindset blocks keeping women out of the market, why Wall Street jargon is gatekeeping on purpose, the truth about financial advisors, and the simple strategy that actually builds wealth long term.WE GET INTO:00:00 - Intro: Why It Took Us This Long to Do This Episode00:46 - Meet Chloe Daniels: From Side Hustle to Full-Time Finance Coach04:05 - The Childhood Money Belief That Held Her Back05:03 - Financially Trapped in an Abusive Relationship Abroad07:31 - Rebuilding Self-Trust and Becoming Your Own Hero09:05 - Wall Street Gatekeeping and the Paralysis of Conflicting Info11:47 - The Real Stats on Diversity in Financial Advising14:35 - What "Lazy Investing" Actually Is (and Why It Works)18:42 - ETFs vs. Index Funds vs. Mutual Funds: What You Need to Know20:45 - How to Figure Out Your Investor Type and Build Your Portfolio24:21 - The Common Mistake: Money Sitting Uninvested in a Brokerage27:11 - How to Calculate Your Retirement Number Using the 4% Rule36:16 - The One Thing to Do If You're Not Investing Yet38:46 - Lightning Round: Roth vs. 401k, DIY vs. Advisor, and MoreKEY TAKEAWAYS:Why investing feels hard on purpose — and how to cut through itThe difference between investing and trading (and why most people confuse them)How to determine your investor type before picking a single fundWhy your 401k money might be sitting uninvested without you knowingHow to use the 4% rule to calculate your actual retirement numberWhy the compound interest calculator is the mindset shift you didn't know you neededWhy the answer isn't cutting back — it's making more moneyCONNECT WITH CHLOE:Instagram: @clobaremoneycoachWebsite: https://www.thelazyinvestorscourse.com/ TAKE THE NEXT STEP:Yo Quiero Dinero Private MembershipRead my book: Financially LitLeave me a voicemailThis episode of Yo Quiero Dinero was produced by Heart Centered Podcasting.

In this episode of The Upwards Podcast, host Tressa Spingler sits down with author and pastor Tiffany Stein for a conversation that goes where the church often doesn't — into the deep, disorienting territory of grief, lament, and the silence of God.Tiffany's new book, Mourning God, was born out of the loss of her infant son David, who lived only 53 days, and the years of secondary infertility and spiritual wrestling that followed. With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, she guides us through what it means to mourn not only our losses — but the God we thought we knew.Together, Tressa and Tiffany explore:What grief really is — including the losses we rarely name (identity, health, dreams, relationships)The concept of secondary grief — mourning the God you thought you knewWhy lament is an act of faith, not a detour from itThe four-part framework of lament: turn, complain, ask, trustThe difference between the wall and the dark night of the soulHow the Psalms give language to grief when our own words failWhat it means to hold joy and sorrow together — and why the church struggles to make space for bothPractical ways to walk with a grieving friend — and how to ask for what you needA vision of resurrection hope as the foundation for enduring lossWe close with the Beatitudes — a moving benediction over every soul in a season of grief. This is a conversation full of compassion, biblical depth, and the kind of hope that is honest enough to hold sorrow alongside it.Resources Mentioned:Mourning God: Grieving Loss, Wrestling with God, and Finding Your Way Back to Life by Tiffany Stein - https://www.navpress.com/p/mourning-god/9781641589833Spotify Playlist inspired by the themes of Mourning God - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0tzsO1vVNYZAwHX01H3WaA?si=08d1ca13138d44cdThe Critical Journey: Stages in the Life of Faith by Janet Hagberg & Robert GuelichEmotionally Healthy Spirituality by Pete ScazzeroWalking with God through Pain and Suffering by Tim KellerScripture references: Psalm 27:13, Psalm 42–43, Psalm 88, Isaiah 53, John 11, Luke 23"You Bring the Morning" — song by Andy SquyresSubscribe to The Upwards Podcast wherever you get your podcasts, and visit slbf.org/studio for more conversations and resources.

Chris Walker built Refine Labs from $3,000 in the bank and $65K in debt to $22 million in revenue in roughly three years — 100+ employees, 350 software company clients, and arguably the most influential voice in B2B marketing. He created the "dark social" movement, redefined how an entire generation of marketers thinks about MQLs, and built a massive audience doing it. Then he walked away. Because the peak of the business was also the lowest point of his life.In this conversation, we get into what actually broke at the top, why changing your environment doesn't fix what's underneath, and what Chris means when he talks about "frequency" — stripped of the spiritual language and grounded in the engineer's brain he actually has. We debate whether you have to grind before you can transcend it, why limiting beliefs feel like facts, and why he thinks training your frequency will be as common as going to the gym within five years.We also go deep on extractive vs. regenerative systems — in business, content, social media, and relationships — and why the intention underneath your actions matters more than the actions themselves.I've been using Chris's ENCODED program for five months. I came in skeptical. I still have questions. But I can't deny what shifted. This one's worth your time whether you buy the concept or not.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy building a $22M company was one of the worst periods of Chris's life — and what that reveals about external vs. internal successWhat "frequency" actually means as identity + beliefs + intentions, without the spiritual languageWhy changing your job, city, or business doesn't work if you don't change the foundation underneath itThe difference between extractive and regenerative systems — in business, relationships, and how you show up as a leaderWhy limiting beliefs feel like facts, and how to spot the invisible ceiling you didn't know you builtHow the intention underneath your actions — in content, business, and life — determines the results you getWhy Chris thinks frequency training will be as mainstream as going to the gym within 3–5 yearsBOOKS & RESOURCES REFERENCEDShoe Dog by Phil Knight — https://a.co/d/05UhJN4T ENCODED Frequency Map — https://www.encoded.ai/ We Are Encoded Podcast — https://open.spotify.com/show/5eEzaXy4hUSqlvzD9ROqrz

What if you never made a single business development cold call and still billed almost a million dollars in your first 18 months solo? That's not a hypothetical. That's exactly what happened when one recruiter bet everything on owning his niche and letting LinkedIn do the selling for him. Most recruiters are taught to smile, dial, and grind through cold BD calls to build a book of business. This episode flips that model completely. You'll hear the exact framework behind a recruiter who walked away from his entire book of business, announced his new firm on LinkedIn, and had 3 new clients reach out within 48 hours — without picking up the phone. If you're building inbound demand, escaping the cold-call hamster wheel, or creating a recruiting brand that sells for you, this is your blueprint. What You'll Learn The 3-pillar "Civil Recruiter Brand Model" for building a self-sustaining recruiting business without traditional BD callsWhy guarding your LinkedIn network like a hawk is the single highest-ROI move most recruiters ignore — and how to do itThe exact content batching system that produces 3–4 posts per week in just 2 hours per monthHow announcing his solo launch on LinkedIn generated 3 inbound clients in 48 hours — and the groundwork that made it possibleWhy he believes his billings would be cut in half or more without his LinkedIn presenceThe mindset shift from KPI hunter to trusted resource — and why it closes more dealsHow he uses a VA to pre-vet 40–50 candidates per role so he only shows up to callThe real emotional cost of leaving a mentor, losing your book of business, and going 100% commission with a family to feed About the Guest Brandon McGill is the founder of The Civil Recruiter, a niche recruiting firm specializing in geotechnical, structural, and civil land development engineering. In 18 months since launching, he's billed $959K, placed over 30 engineers, and built a content engine generating 1.7 million LinkedIn impressions per year, all without a single traditional BD cold call.

What's transferable to any niche [00:15:37] 48 hours after his LinkedIn announcement: 3 new clients, zero outbound [00:20:39] "Cut it in half, if not more" — what his billings would be without LinkedIn [00:42:46] His repeatable process: VA sourcing, Loxo workflows, and showing up ready to call [00:49:23] Honest reflection: what he'd do differently to hit $1.25M Sponsors Atlas – AI-first ATS & CRM Automates admin, syncs resumes and emails, and uses AI to build polished profiles and reports.

Most VCs work non-stop and still feel like they're failing. They do 2x the deals of their peers. They're at every event. And they still feel like they're not doing enough.What James Johnson and Freddie Birley reveal in this episode is what VCs won't say publicly: the loneliness, the ambiguity, the constant feeling of underperforming despite objectively crushing it.What drives this?Founders want freedom. VCs want peak performance. When you're optimizing for achievement but venture's ambiguity makes it impossible to define what "good" looks like, you're stuck in perpetual dissatisfaction.In this episode:Why most VCs feel like they're failing even when they're crushing itThe loneliness both founders and investors experience (and why both jobs are more similar than different)What actually drives each group - and why this explains why they talk past each otherHow to shift from outcome obsession (exits - out of your control) to input control (craft mastery - in your hands)For founders: Understanding this changes how you work with your boardFor VCs: This is the validation you didn't know you neededThis is Peer Effect Post Bag - James and Freddie answering your toughest questions.More from James: Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com

In On the Other Side of Pain, Laurel Boivin explores pain as an inevitable part of the human experience—and a powerful catalyst for transformation when it is met with honesty, care, and time. Rather than bypassing or minimizing pain, this episode invites listeners to slow down, feel what needs to be felt, and trust the nonlinear process of healing.Laurel reflects on how pain lives in the body, why we are not meant to carry it alone, and what it means to be truly resourced while healing. From honoring grief and loss to choosing whether pain hardens or softens us, this conversation gently guides listeners toward the awareness, perspective, and compassion that often emerge on the other side of pain.This conversation focuses on: Why dismissing pain—or rushing to meaning—can slow healing rather than support itThe importance of allowing grief, loss, anger, and disappointment to be felt and honoredWhat it means to be “well resourced” while processing pain, and why support mattersHow pain can shape who we become without defining or diminishing usThe choice pain presents: hardening for protection or softening with awareness and compassionJournaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. Who am I now, on the other side—or in the midst—of this experience?How has this experience changed my path, my priorities, or the way I see my life?What did I learn about myself during the healing and processing, not just from what happened?What knowledge, wisdom, or insight do I now carry that I didn't have before?Who might benefit from what I know now, and how might I share it in a human, grounded way?Where do I notice pain living in my body, and what might help me release or soften it?In what ways has pain clarified what truly matters to me?When I think about this experience, do I notice myself hardening or softening—and what choice feels most supportive right now?What beliefs, faith, or inner trust help me remember that my life is still unfolding?What feels different in me today, even if I don't feel “better”—and how can I honor that shift?Host/Cohost/Guest InfoGuiding others to become effective leaders of their own lives, Laurel Holland has been on a journey of awakening and transformation throughout her life.

This one's a different kind of episode.No frameworks, no strategy just me, your questions from Instagram, and an honest conversation about where I'm actually at right now.I'm sharing a full life update as I head into the final stretch of pregnancy, including what my postpartum plan actually looks like, how I'm thinking about business in a season that's asking me to slow down, and why I'm not fighting that anymore.We also get into how my definition of success has quietly shifted and honestly, how much lighter that feels. Because building a business that performs while you're in a full life season requires a completely different relationship with yourself, your work and what "enough" actually means.If you've ever felt like you needed to keep pushing to prove something, or you're in your own season of transition and wondering how to hold it all, this one's for you.In this episode:IG Q&A the questions you actually wanted answeredPregnancy update and what's comingMy postpartum plan and how I'm setting the business up to holdHow my version of success has shifted and why I'm not apologising for itThe mindset that's carrying me through this seasonFollow us @womenthatsellFollow me @therileymay

A Note from James:In the first two episodes with Dr. Nicole McNichols, we talked about chemistry, communication, anatomy, and the science of pleasure. This final episode is really about something deeper—how relationships evolve over time and what actually keeps desire alive.Because the truth is, long-term relationships don't stay exciting automatically. They require intention. They require curiosity. And sometimes the issue isn't your partner at all—it's that you've stopped doing things that light you up in your own life.We also talk about novelty, sex toys, aging, hormones, communication, and why pleasure itself is not optional for wellbeing—it's essential.This conversation tied everything together for me.Episode Description:How do couples keep desire alive years—or decades—into a relationship?In the final part of this series, Dr. Nicole McNichols explains why long-term passion isn't about constant novelty or dramatic reinvention. It's about intentional connection, personal growth, communication, and maintaining a sense of play.They discuss the “seven-year itch,” why boredom often comes from losing personal passion rather than losing attraction, and how seeing your partner energized by their own interests can reignite desire. The conversation also explores sex toys as collaborative tools, the health benefits of sexual activity, aging and sexuality, hormone therapy, and practical ways to communicate about sex without embarrassment.The episode closes with a powerful reminder: pleasure is not a luxury—it's a core component of wellbeing.What You'll Learn:Why boredom in relationships is often about your own life—not your partnerHow pursuing individual passions can increase attraction in long-term couplesWhy sex toys enhance connection rather than threaten itThe physical and psychological health benefits of sexual activityHow curiosity, humor, and vulnerability improve sexual communicationTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] Pleasure, Playfulness & Why Attraction Fades[00:03:28] The Seven-Year Itch & Long-Term Desire[00:04:00] Intention, Communication & Intimacy Dates[00:04:45] When Boredom Is About Your Own Life[00:05:25] Personal Passion & Seeing Your Partner Differently[00:06:11] The Best Sex of Your Life After Kids[00:08:16] Novelty Without Threatening the Relationship[00:09:24] Erotic Identity & Emotional Needs[00:11:00] Frequency of Novelty & Sexual Compatibility[00:11:21] Men Feeling Threatened by Novelty[00:11:42] Sex Toys as Collaborative Tools[00:13:26] The Pleasure Cycle: Wanting, Liking, Learning[00:14:12] Sex, Stress Reduction & Sleep[00:15:23] Health Benefits of Sex[00:16:08] Pleasure as Essential Wellbeing[00:19:00] Is Sex the Most Enjoyable Activity?[00:20:00] Presence, Mindfulness & Happiness Research[00:21:39] Sex and Meditation[00:22:00] Sex in Your 80s & Aging[00:23:22] Loneliness, Health & Sexual Function[00:24:25] Erectile Dysfunction & Physical Health[00:25:00] Menopause, Hormones & Sexual Pain[00:26:23] Hormone Therapy & Medical Guidance[00:27:35] Communication as the Core Skill[00:28:35] Leading With Curiosity[00:29:56] Humor, Playfulness & Awkward Conversations[00:31:08] Closing ThoughtsAdditional Resources:You Could Be Having Better SexNicole McNicholsDaniel Gilbert — Happiness research referencedSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what marketing really is, how it's defined, and why so many people are getting it wrong.According to the Chartered Institute of Marketing, marketing is about identifying, anticipating, and meeting customer needs while making a profit. But what does that actually mean for your business?

What if the key to your next level wasn't doing more, but getting radically clear on who you're doing it for? In this powerful episode, George sits down with podcast strategist and business coach Traci DeForge to unpack the most overlooked reasons people stay stuck and how clarity, energy, and aligned intention create momentum that scales.Traci DeForge brings decades of experience in media, content creation, and business strategy to this high-value conversation. Together, she and George explore the deeper purpose behind podcasting, the energetic foundation of marketing, and the clarity needed to build a sustainable brand with impact.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy most podcasters struggle and how to fix itThe critical importance of clarity in messagingHow to create content that converts without sellingWhy podcasting is an “energy exchange,” not a megaphoneThe business blueprint for building brand trust and momentumKey Takeaways:✔️Clarity attracts, confusion repels. Your podcast isn't for everyone, and that's the point.✔️Podcasting works best as a relationship-building strategy, not a broadcast platform.✔️Every episode should deliver value and direction, whether or not there's a pitch.✔️Treat your podcast like a pillar of your business, not an accessory.✔️Energy matters: your tone, intention, and delivery shape how your content lands. Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] – Intro and George on how Traci shows up with full presence[03:26] – Traci shares the most common podcasting trap[08:49] – Energy exchange vs. content creation: what really builds trust[13:17] – Podcasting as a business strategy, not just a platform[19:45] – Clarifying who your podcast is really for[24:01] – Why podcasters quit too early (and what it costs them)[29:33] – What consistency actually means in your brand[34:08] – Podcasting + brand building: how they intertwine[41:02] – Monetization models that don't rely on ads or downloads[46:27] – Final lessons: presence, preparation, and purpose[53:11] – What Traci sees as the future of podcasting[59:34] – George's wrap-up and action challengeConnect with Traci DeForgeFounder of Produce Your Podcast™ | Podcast StrategistWebsite: https://www.produceyourpodcast.comPersonal Instagram: @tracideforgeInstagram: @produceyourpodcastYouTube: @produceyourpodcast TikTok: @ProduceYourPodcastYour Challenge This Week:What landed most for you in this episode?Share your favorite insight and tag us on Instagram @itsgeorgebryantLeave a review to help others discover the showShare this episode with one person who's starting or scaling a podcastJoin The Alliance – The Relationship Beats Algorithms™ community for entrepreneurs who scale with trust and connection.Apply for 1:1 Coaching – Ready to build your business with sustainability, impact, and ease?

Chris Myers didn't just improve at Western States…He went from 10th place to 2nd place in one year — cutting nearly an hour off his time.And no, it wasn't random.In this episode, we break down the real reasons behind that jump — the training adjustments, the race execution, the downhill durability, the fueling precision, and the international racing lessons he's learned the hard way.We also talk UTMB, racing overseas, the mental side of elite performance, and how to actually have fun while competing at the highest level (yes… including the snorkel at Rucky Chucky).If you want to get faster, race smarter, and think bigger — this one's for you.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why downhill fatigue cost Chris an hour at Western States — and how he fixed itThe real difference between a 10th place and 2nd place performanceHow elite runners think about aid station time and race executionWhat most people get wrong about racing internationallyHow to prepare for humidity, night running, and long travelThe mindset shift required to race at big racesWhy experience often beats raw talent in ultrasWhat happens when running becomes your full-time jobSHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠desertpeakultra.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

In this session, we continue our deep dive into Megillat Esther, exploring the darker realities behind the “beauty pageant,” the introduction of Mordechai and Esther, and the political events that set the stage for the Purim miracle.

What if the thing your doctors say they can't fix… has already been figured out by a guy who fixed it on himself?In this powerful episode, Julie sits down with Trevor Clark—herbalist, researcher, and neuropathy survivor—who spent almost 7 years with his hands and feet feeling like they were stuck in burning embers before he cracked the code on his own healing.Trevor's not just talking theory. He broke his spine in a car wreck at 17, woke up from spinal fusion surgery with crippling neuropathy, was declared permanently disabled at 18, and was told the painkillers keeping him alive would eventually destroy his liver. You'll discover:Why 30–50% of chemo patients end up with neuropathy—and why most doctors have almost nothing in their toolbox to treat itThe difference between chemo-induced, diabetic, inflammation-induced, and trauma-induced neuropathy—and why the cause changes everything about treatmentHow a combination of research-backed supplements and traditional herbs can produce noticeable results in as little as 2–4 weeksWhy some herbs you'd take for nerve health also boost natural killer cell activity—a beautiful secondary benefit for cancer survivorsThe critical question Trevor asks every client: are you currently in treatment or post-treatment? Because some things that heal you after chemo could be toxic during itWhy starting sooner matters—but even years-long neuropathy isn't a lost cause (Trevor's was almost 7 years old when it finally went away).Resources mentioned:Trevor Clark's practice: neuropathyherbalist.comContact Trevor directly: info@neuropathyherbalist.comListen to Trevor's full survivor story: MOJO Rising Episode — What Do Survivors Do Differently? with Trevor ClarkMOJO Health's data-driven approach to cancer healing (mojohealth.org)Connect with Trevor Clark: Website: neuropathyherbalist.com Email: info@neuropathyherbalist.comConnect with Julie Stevens and the MOJO Movement: Instagram- MOJO: ⁠https://instagram.com/mojohealthorg⁠ Instagram - Julie: https://instagram.com/juliekstevens_ TikTok: ⁠https://tiktok.com/@julie.stevens97 YouTube⁠: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MOJOHealth Facebook: ⁠https://facebook.com/mojohealthorg⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.mojohealth.org/ ⁠The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed on this podcast are the speaker's own and do not represent the views, thoughts, and opinions of MOJO Health Cooperative LLC, a Georgia Limited Liability Company, its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or representatives.

Money is one of the most emotional, loaded topics in the floral industry—and it's keeping too many florists stuck in survival mode. In this episode, Jen dives deep into the money mindset shifts florists need to make to stop undercharging, stop feeling guilty about profit, and start building a business that actually supports their life.If you've ever felt awkward charging what you're worth, told yourself “I do this because I love flowers,” or normalized burnout as part of the job—this episode is your wake-up call.In this episode, we cover:Why wanting to make money does not make you greedyThe damaging “starving artist” narrative in creative industriesWhy revenue does not equal profit (and why so many florists still aren't paying themselves)How underpricing actually hurts your clients, not just youThe invisible labor florists provide (logistics, emotional labor, problem-solving)Why your business should fund your life—not consume itThe difference between survival mode and abundance modeHow being paid well allows you to show up more creatively and confidentlyPowerful Money Mindset Shifts:Wanting more money = financial security, not greedBeing busy doesn't mean being successfulUnderpricing isn't generosity—it's self-sabotageYour expertise has value beyond the flowersYou don't have to struggle to be worthyA profitable business creates freedom, not burnoutReflection Prompts from This Episode:Where am I undercharging because I'm afraid?What would change if I truly believed I deserved to be paid well?What is one small money boundary I can set this month?What hourly rate do I actually need to feel valued for my time?Links & Resources Mentioned:Floral CEO Mastermind: https://floralceo.com/mastermindWorkshops & Education: https://floralceo.com/workshop

The ecological transition applied to mobility is often presented as a constraint. However, for an overwhelming majority of French people, cars remain essential: 85% say they are dependent on them daily, and up to 90% in rural areas. Getting around means accessing employment, healthcare, and social life. This reality is highlighted in the new episode of the On The Way podcast, through the findings of the study "French Car Budget - 2025 Edition", conducted by Roole.This study reveals a key figure: the average budget allocated to cars is €416 per month, equivalent to nearly a third of the minimum wage. Even more striking, two-thirds of this cost is not related to usage, but to fixed, non-negotiable expenses (purchase, insurance, parking, maintenance). This insight is essential to understanding why mobility weighs so heavily on households and why 15 million French people are currently in a situation of mobility precariousness, having already given up on a trip due to lack of solutions.Beyond the observation, this episode also highlights Roole's commitment to more responsible, solidarity-based, and fair mobility. Among the initiatives presented: "Donnez votre voiture" (Give Your Car), a platform that allows you to donate a still-operational vehicle and deduct the residual value of your car from your taxes! These cars are then put back into circulation through solidarity garages, benefiting people in difficulty. A simple, eco-friendly, and solidarity-driven gesture that restores mobility's fundamental role as a tool for social inclusion.And because commitment doesn't stop there, discover also the Roole Map application: the first all-in-one app designed for your vehicle, whether it's thermal, hybrid, or electric. Need an optimized route? A gas station at the best price? A available charging point? An accessible parking lot 24/7? Roole Map accompanies you simply, daily, to facilitate all your trips.

Midlife can feel destabilizing.The kids are leaving. Careers are shifting. Parents are aging. Hormones are changing. And somewhere inside, a quiet voice says, “I'm not done yet.”In this conversation, Michele sits down with fellow podcaster Kim Benoy, host of Midlife Courage: Flourishing After 40, to explore what courage actually looks like in the second half of life.After a 27-year nursing career, Kim made a bold pivot — not because she had everything figured out, but because she felt called to something more. Together, they unpack:Why confidence doesn't come before action — it comes from itThe hidden identity shifts women experience in midlifeWhy losing weight won't fix what's happening internallyThe power of small acts of courage (setting boundaries, speaking up, trying something new)How community accelerates confidenceWhy “someday” is not a strategyThis isn't about Instagram quotes or overnight reinvention.It's about quiet bravery.Tiny steps.And remembering that you don't need permission to evolve.If you've been feeling restless, stuck, or quietly unhappy — this conversation will remind you that courage is already in you. It just needs to be activated.Join Kim's next Midlife with Courage Community Circle - March 3, 2026You can find Kim Benoy at https://www.midlifewithcourage.com/podcasthttps://www.instagram.com/midlife_with_courage/_________________________________________If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, adding a layer of support may be an option.

And you still can't start.That's not laziness. That's not poor time management. That's task initiation — and it's one of the most misunderstood ADHD challenges that's quietly costing you momentum in your business every single day.In this episode, I'm getting real about what task initiation actually is, why ADHD brains struggle with it more than anything else, and the practical strategies that actually work — not the "just do it" advice that was never built for your brain.In this episode, you'll learn:Why starting is harder than finishing for ADHD brains (and the dopamine science behind it)What task paralysis actually looks like in daily life — the desk reorganizing, the sock drawer, all of itThe "Ridiculous Micro-Start" strategy that breaks the freeze without willpowerHow to use environmental triggers to train your brain to beginWhy the 5-minute rule works — and when to let yourself stop at 5The emotional layer underneath avoidance that most productivity advice ignoresHow your Spark Times inside the F.L.O.W. framework change everythingIf you've ever stared at your screen for two hours and done everything except the actual work, this episode is for you.Resources mentioned:ADHD Entrepreneur Academy: adhdpreneuracademy.comFocused & Free Membership ($99/month): sociallyausome.com/membershipFLOW-First Thinking (book): sociallyausome.com/books/flowfirstConnect with Alyece:Instagram: @socially.ausomeWebsite: sociallyausome.comIf this episode hit home, share it with one ADHD entrepreneur who needs to hear it — and leave a review on Apple Podcasts so other neurodivergent business owners can find us.

Welcome back to The Cycles. This is Session Six, recorded on the turn of the Chinese Lunar Year as we move into the Year of the Fire Horse (2026) and this session is being shared on the podcast. If you'd like to take part of the The Cycles and access the previous replays and any future sessions + contemplation questions on the Facebook group please REGISTER HERE. It is unknown how long this experience will continue for at this stage. In this session I explore what Fire Horse energy brings forward for so many of us. Freedom, movement, momentum. Courage, action, speed. And I ask the question most people skip. Do you actually have the capacity to receive that kind of energy, or does it bring up anxiety, pressure, fear, or the feeling of “not enough”? I'm also sharing transparently what's been shifting behind the scenes in my business and the way I'm choosing to communicate my work. Because the more I've witnessed what's possible for people through emotional processing, the more I've realised something important. Sometimes the gap becomes too big. So I'm bringing it back. Back to the foundation. Back to what has always been true in my work. Processing your emotions is the foundation. It's what creates capacity. It's what clears space. It's what allows support, healing, and momentum to actually land. Inside this episode we cover: The meaning of Fire Horse energy and what it brings up emotionallyWhy “activation” is not the point if your foundation isn't ready to hold itThe pattern I've seen in my own life. Slow down, then everything speeds upHow “support” works, and why it changes outcomesThe difference between knowledge and integrationWhy so many people focus on “nervous system regulation” but avoid the emotional experiences underneathHow manifestation begins when you stop forcing outcomes and start creating spaceA behind-the-scenes share on simplifying my messaging, returning to the basics, and letting go of controlling how people interact with my workAn introduction to The Gateway Experience as a self-paced entry point for emotional mastery without overwhelm This session was originally recorded live inside The Cycles free experience, hosted in a private Facebook group with multiple session replays and contemplation questions you can move through in your own timing. If The Cycles is still open, you're welcome to join us. If it isn't, trust that something else will be available for you when the timing is right.

Over 80% of people quit their New Year's goals before mid-February.Why?It's not a lack of desire.It's not a lack of talent.It's a lack of discipline.In today's episode of the Loveall Sales Podcast, I break down why discipline — not motivation — is the true separator in automotive sales and in life.If you want to sell:20, 30, even 50+ cars a monthMake $20K, $30K, $50K+ monthsBuild real financial freedomMaster prospecting and pipeline controlThen you have to stop talking and start doing.I share:Why salespeople waste 4+ hours per day without realizing itThe math behind your monthly production (and the 100+ hidden hours you're not using)How discipline fuels prospectingWhy most pipelines stay emptyThe “Talker vs Doer” mindset shiftHow writing daily goals changes everythingThe real story behind walking away from dealership income to build something biggerThis episode is a wake-up call.If you say you're going to do something — do it.If you want 30+ cars a month — structure your day.If you want freedom — earn it through discipline.There's no stopping.There's only gas.Let's get after it.God bless.

Heart disease risk isn't just about cholesterol. In this episode of A Whole New Level, Dr. Matthew Budoff explains why coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring may be the most important test most people aren't getting—and why imaging your arteries directly can reveal risk that blood tests alone can miss.Drawing on decades of research and data from the landmark MESA study, Dr. Budoff explains how calcium scoring predicts real cardiovascular events, how plaque actually forms and progresses, and why some people with high cholesterol never develop plaque—while others with “normal” labs do.This episode focuses on how to measure your actual cardiovascular risk, not just estimate it.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: ⁠https://levels.link/wnlIn this episode, we cover:Why CAC scoring is one of the strongest predictors of future heart eventsWhy cholesterol is critical—but only explains about half of heart disease riskWhy some people with very high LDL have zero plaque—and others with normal labs have dangerous plaqueWhy CAC is best understood as the “tip of the iceberg” of total plaque burdenWhen to escalate to CT angiography and advanced imagingHow plaque regression is possible—and what interventions actually drive itThe future of cardiac risk prediction: Lp(a), inflammation, and AI-driven plaque analysisThis conversation reframes heart risk around what's actually happening inside your arteries—not just what shows up in bloodwork.

So many women in midlife are quietly carrying an exhausting belief: that their worth is something they have to earn—through productivity, perfection, and putting everyone else first.In this episode of Message in the Middle, Marianne is joined by registered social worker, meditation and breathwork teacher, and founder of The Self-Worth Solution, Ruth Hirshberg, for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, boundaries, and the hidden beliefs keeping so many high-achieving women stuck.Ruth shares why boundaries don't work when you don't believe you're allowed to have them, how survival mode becomes a “normal” way of living, and why trying to fix behaviors without addressing the beliefs underneath rarely leads to lasting change. Together, they explore what it really takes to separate your worth from your productivity—and why you don't need to become a different person to finally feel enough.Key Takeaways:Why so many women intellectually know they're worthy, but don't feel itHow early beliefs around “not enoughness” quietly shape our adult livesThe difference between treating symptoms and addressing root causesWhy boundaries collapse without a foundation of self-worthHow productivity became a stand-in for worth, and how to untangle itThe role breathwork and nervous system regulation play in healingWhy you don't need fixing, you need permission to stop proving yourselfIf you're tired of chasing validation, running on empty, or feeling like you're always falling short, this conversation offers permission to stop performing your worth and start owning it.Check out the Mini Meditation Marianne posted before the holidays:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938384/episodes/18207054Connect with Ruth:  Face Book https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579052467890Website: https://www.groundingwithruth.comInstagram: @groundingwithruthLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruth-hirshberg Connect with Marianne: Website: Message In The Middle with Marianne Message In the Middle Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MessageInTheMiddle/playlists LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966 Email: Contact | Message In The Middle with Marianne Subscribe to Message In the Middle: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Leave Us a Review: If you enjoyed today's episode, please leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

Y'all, we're getting real about something that's been bugging me - people who think their relationship IS their entire life.

Bob Perkins has done things most people only read about — fighter pilot instructor, political fundraiser, the ad agency behind Apple's 1984 Super Bowl commercial, CMO at Calvin Klein, executive at Playboy, head of marketing at Pizza Hut, and turnaround CEO. He's sat on boards, built ventures inside the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and now spends his time thinking and writing about how AI is fundamentally reshaping competition.We got into all of it. From the real story behind the most famous Super Bowl ad ever made (and the worst one, made by the same people the very next year) to why marketing as a discipline is being consumed by AI, to a fighter pilot decision-making framework that most companies are too slow to execute. We also talked about what actually drives organizational change, why group dynamics override expertise, and what Bob would tell his 40-year-old self if he could go back.This one went deep. If you run a business or lead a team, there's a lot here.What you'll learn in this episode:Why marketing is becoming unrecognizable — and what's replacing itThe real story behind Apple's 1984 ad and how it almost never airedThe Boyd Loop (OODA) — how fighter pilots make decisions at 500 mph and why it matters for your businessWhy competitive advantage is shifting from planning to execution speedHow AI changes the feedback loop — and why that's the real unlock for sales teamsWhat stops organizations from acting on decisions they've already madeWhy the power of the group is the most underrated force in business — and how it quietly kills changeBob's advice to his 40-year-old self (and the one skill he wishes he'd developed more)Books referenced in this episode:Sapiens by Yuval Noah HarariThe Geek Way by Andrew McAfeeThe Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton ChristensenOn the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything by Nate SilverThe Infinite Game by Simon Sinek//Welcome to The Ray J.

In this episode of Venice Talks, Monica sits down with Bryan Brazeau, Academic Director of the Warwick Venice Centre, to talk about what happens when a university and a city begin to think together.We explore Venice not as a setting, but as a working intellectual environment, and Warwick not simply as an institution abroad, but as a way of approaching knowledge through place, daily life, and lived experience.Episode key notes:What Warwick and Venice genuinely have in common beneath the surfaceWhy Venice works as a living classroom rather than a historical backdropHow place shapes academic thinking, research, and teachingThe experience of studying and teaching with the city, not around itThe dual identity of the Warwick Venice Centre, both local and internationalWhat students carry with them after living and learning in VeniceA shared love for Venetian cuisine, and how food becomes another way of understanding the cityWhy eating, cooking, and sharing meals are part of truly living VeniceThe value of intellectual distance, and why studying elsewhere mattersLooking ahead: the future of the Warwick Venice Centre and place-based educationA conversation about learning, location, and culture, where ideas, flavours, and stories move slowly and stay longer.

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

We just hit a major milestone—Episode 200 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast.And before I say anything else, I just want to say thank you.Whether you've listened to one episode or all 200… whether you've shared the podcast, sent it to a friend, or applied the leadership principles in your ministry—I'm genuinely grateful. This podcast exists to serve pastors like you, and it's because of your support that we've made it this far.Now, for Episode 200, we're tackling something that every leader feels—but not every leader knows how to address:Have you ever realized you're making leadership decisions based more on keeping people happy than moving the mission forward?If so—you're not alone.In Episode 200, I'm joined by my good friend Hannah for an honest coaching conversation about one of the most common leadership traps pastors face: people pleasing—and the anxiety that often comes with it.What I love about this session is Hannah's transparency. She shares how her people-pleasing tendencies have started shaping her leadership culture—especially as she's onboarding new leaders. And she asks a question every pastor needs to wrestle with:How do you overcome people pleasing and anxiety as a lead pastor… without losing your heart for people?In this episode, we cover:How people pleasing quietly controls your leadership decisionsWhy you'll never outlive this struggle—you can only outgrow itThe truth about identity: where it really comes from when nobody's watchingWhy “your vision is for sale” when people pleasing takes overHow to discern the source of criticism (and when not to receive it)Why busyness can create a false sense of productivity in your churchHow churches become “busy but not productive”—and what to do insteadThe In-N-Out principle: doing a few things exceptionally well instead of everything averageThe difference between task-driven ministry and leader-multiplying cultureWhy systems—not personality—are what sustain long-term growthThis one is packed with insight, conviction, and practical leadership clarity—especially if you're leading in a smaller church context where relationships, giving, and criticism can feel personal.

If you've ever caught yourself saying “I know I need to do that… I'll get to it later,” this episode is your wake-up call.Because “later” isn't neutral.It isn't harmless.And it definitely isn't free.In this episode, I break down the hidden cost of delay. The opportunities you don't see, the income you never calculate, and the momentum that quietly slips away when you keep pushing important installs down the road.This isn't about motivation.This isn't about hype.This is about installation.I'm pulling back the curtain on why most entrepreneurs don't struggle from lack of knowledge… they struggle from lack of execution and how a simple shift from busy to installed changes everything.If you've been feeling behind, stuck, or like you should be further along by now… this conversation is for you.

You're exhausted, brain-fogged, and operating at half capacity despite your best efforts. It's completely exhausting watching so many of your dreams collect dust while chronic inflammation keeps stealing your energy, productivity, and the kind of Kingdom impact you know you could be having. Behind it all are the lies of the enemy that are keeping you stuck, like:"I could never eat that way." "Plant-based is so expensive." "I don't have time for that."These aren't just harmless thoughts.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I'm shining a spotlight on a reality most people don't want to talk about: the fact that earning more money doesn't automatically make you feel rich or free. In fact, more than half of households making over $100,000 a year are still living paycheck to paycheck. If you've ever wondered why hitting a higher income doesn't bring lasting peace or satisfaction—and sometimes even leads to more anxiety—this episode is for you.I share why the feeling of being rich is rarely about the numbers in your bank account, but much more about psychology, behavior, and clarity. Drawing from my decades as a CPA, entrepreneur, and money mentor, I walk you through the science of happiness and the “hedonic treadmill,” how our brains adapt to new income levels, and why most financial struggles are rooted in emotions—not math.We'll get real about lifestyle creep, emotional spending, and the sneaky ways comparison culture fuels our financial stress. I lay out actionable steps to help you break out of the “never enough” cycle, define your own finish line, and create a results-driven plan that aligns with your values.Today's episode isn't just about theory—it's about empowerment. My hope is that you'll walk away ready to live a life by choice, not by default.IN TODAY'S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:Why more income alone won't make you feel rich—and the surprising data behind itThe “hedonic treadmill” and how your brain turns financial breakthroughs into baselinesLifestyle creep: how subtle upgrades can silently steal your raisesThe power of emotional spending—stress, reward, comparison, and moreHow social comparison and the hunt for external validation undermine your financial well-beingActionable steps to track the real triggers behind your spendingWhy “future you” won't magically fix your money habits, and the myth of “I'll save more when I earn more”The importance of defining what “enough” means to you—in dollars and in lifeHow to pivot from a demand-driven to a choice-driven life with a real financial planWhy money is a tool—not the source—of fulfillment and peaceRECOMMENDED EPISODES FOR YOUIf you liked this episode, click here to enjoy these and more:https://melabraham.com/show/9 Subtle Behaviors That Quietly Signal You're Upper ClassThe Psychology of People Who Have $1M Net WorthThe Silent Rules of the Financial System That Keep You Poor7 Assets Rich People Never Buy And The Poor Always DoHow Much Money Do You Actually Need to Be Rich in 2026RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU If you liked this video, you'll love these ones:9 Subtle Behaviors That Quietly Signal You're Upper Class: https://youtu.be/dbdUDwElYY0The Psychology of People Who Have $1M Net Worth: https://youtu.be/-65r-OsaHMEThe Silent Rules of the Financial System That Keep You Poor: https://youtu.be/akr5474dwps7 Assets Rich People Never Buy And The Poor Always Do: https://youtu.be/A9f-IgNKU8wORDER MY NEW USA TODAY BESTSELLING BOOK:Building Your Money Machine: How to Get Your Money to Work Harder For You Than You Did For It!The key to building the life you desire and deserve is to build your Money Machine—a powerful system designed to generate income that's no longer tied to your work or efforts.

If you've ever felt like life hit you in the back of the head with a two-by-four, whether from a failed business, divorce, or the collapse of a dream, this episode is your roadmap for rising again. Former NFL player Marques Ogden lost millions, went bankrupt, became a custodian earning $8.25/hour… and then rebuilt a life working with Fortune 100 companies. In this raw and powerful conversation, Marques shares how discipline, not motivation, became the foundation of his comeback, and how you can do the same.From trash-covered rock bottom to multimillion-dollar stages, Marques walks us through how radical responsibility, discipline, and authenticity can change your life.Whether you're stuck in shame or struggling to find your footing, this is your permission slip to rise.What You'll Learn in This Episode:What separates a fixed, growth, and “victory” mindset and why only one truly sustains a comebackHow Marques went from bankruptcy to working with 85+ Fortune 500 companiesWhy self-discipline trumps motivation, and how to develop itThe difference between authenticity and perfectionA three-question framework to begin your own 90-day comeback todayKey Takeaways:✔️Discipline is doing what you don't want to do to get the results you crave.✔️Stop waiting to feel motivated, show up anyway.✔️Rock bottom is not a death sentence; it's a wake-up call.✔️Authenticity means being true to your evolution, not who you used to be.✔️If you want a comeback, start by answering: Who am I? Why am I here? What's my aligned purpose?✔️True resilience isn't avoiding pain, it's choosing to keep moving through it.✔️Comparison kills originality, be a lighthouse, not a copycat.Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] – Opening Quote: Discipline over everything[03:38] – Introduction to Marques Ogden and his NFL to janitor comeback[07:22] – The rock bottom moment on a trash-covered loading dock[11:09] – On radical ownership without self-shame[15:25] – Navigating divorce, loss, and rebuilding from zero[17:59] – Building a “Victory Mindset”[22:04] – Why comebacks don't happen on your timeline[25:46] – From embarrassment to inspiration: sharing your story[30:07] – Defining authenticity in a copycat world[36:22] – The 3 questions to start your 90-day comeback[42:20] – How to know you're on the right track (resistance vs. resilience)[45:29] – A powerful prayer and reflection on character[47:49] – Tattoo wisdom: “Discipline over dedication”Connect with Marques Ogden:Website: www.marquesogden.comInstagram: @marquesogdenFacebook: Marques Ogden SpeakerYoutube: @marquesogden695LinkedIn: Marques OdgenYour Challenge This Week:Loved this episode?
