Divorce doesn't just end a marriage—it can shatter a man's identity, confidence, and sense of direction. In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with my close friend Ryan Michler, founder of Order of Man, to talk openly about what it really looks like to navigate divorce as a man—and come out stronger on the other side.   Ryan shares his personal experience of being divorced for nearly three years, including the identity loss men feel when they're no longer husbands or full-time dads, the mistakes many men make by orienting their lives around their ex, and why healing starts when you make yourself the project. We also dive into rebuilding relationships with kids, handling co-parenting with integrity, resisting isolation, and why brotherhood is non-negotiable in seasons of separation. If you're divorced, separated, or supporting a man who is—this episode is required listening.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Why this episode is for divorced and separated dads [2:35] Introducing Ryan Michler and his journey through divorce [3:37] Losing identity as a husband and father after divorce [4:59] Feeling like "less of a man" after separation [6:02] Why orienting your life around your ex is a mistake [7:21] Making yourself the project after divorce [9:01] Isolation, vices, and the danger of being alone too much [10:45] Why brotherhood accelerates healing [12:15] Journaling, self-regulation, and daily discipline [14:06] Rebuilding physical health and confidence [15:32] Redefining masculinity and self-worth [17:15] Being honest—but appropriate—with kids about divorce [19:02] Staying present in your kids' lives beyond "your time" [21:11] Customizing connection with each child [23:23] Never giving up on estranged relationships [25:08] Civility, boundaries, and co-parenting with integrity [29:02] Why consistency matters more than outcomes [31:22] Divorce Not Death program overview [34:40] The Men's Forge experience and why it's different [38:15] Bringing sons to Men's Forge and legacy building [41:41] What boys learn by watching their fathers lead [45:54] Final encouragement for men navigating divorce     Five Key Takeaways Divorce shakes a man's identity, but it doesn't have to define his future.  Healing begins when men stop orienting around their ex and start orienting around growth.  Isolation amplifies pain, while brotherhood shortens the recovery curve.  Consistency and integrity rebuild trust with kids, even when relationships feel strained.  Men who make themselves the project come out stronger, healthier, and more grounded.      Links & Resources Men's Forge Event: https://themensforge.com Dad Edge Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/alliance Dad Edge Alliance Preview Call: https://thedadedge.com/preview 1st Phorm Dad Edge Challenge: https://1stphorm.com/dadedge Divorce Not Death Program: https://divorcenotdeath.com Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1433     Closing Remark If this episode spoke to where you're at—or where you've been—please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

What if the things we may tend to roll our eyes at—rituals, journaling, gratitude—are actually ancient technologies for healing? AND, they are now being backed by modern science!  In this episode, I'm joined by my new friend, bestselling author and former Comedy Central executive Tara Schuster, to talk about her new book, This Journal F*cking Works: The Science, Ritual, and Art of Journaling, and the practices that quietly but profoundly change lives. Our conversation bridges science and spirit, skepticism and surrender, as Tara shares how journaling—something she once completely dismissed—became a lifeline, a ritual, and the road back to herself. We talk about reparenting ourselves, inner-child healing, and why grief and gratitude aren't opposites but companions. We explore how our culture's loss of ritual has left us overstimulated, disconnected, and dis-eased and why creating sacred pauses in your day can fundamentally change the way you experience your life. Tara also shares how burnout, success, and self-abandonment led her back to the simplest tools—and why science now supports what intuition and our ancestors have always known.

Send us a textCreative resistance has been on my mind lately.That heavy feeling that shows up right when you sit down to create. The distraction. The doubt. The quiet voice that whispers, Maybe later. Maybe you're not ready. Maybe it doesn't matter.In today's episode, I'm naming that resistance for what it often is, fear, distraction, and even spiritual opposition trying to silence what God placed inside you on purpose.What if the resistance you feel isn't a sign to stop… but confirmation that what you're creating matters?We're diving into Scripture to uncover the truth that creativity isn't optional fluff or a side hobby. It's woven into who you are as someone made in the image of a Creator God. When you create, you reflect His nature. And when creativity is delayed, muted, or dismissed, the world misses out on what God intended to release through you.In this episode, we'll talk about: • Why creativity is God's idea, not yours • Why resistance shows up strongest right before breakthroughs • The lies that quietly block obedience, like perfectionism, comparison, and “I'll do it later” • How to overcome resistance with both spiritual truth and practical action • Why creating with God becomes both worship and warfareI also invite you into a gentle moment of reflection, asking: What has God been nudging you to create? Where have you felt resistance? What would obedience, not perfection, look like today?If you've been feeling stuck, weary, or hesitant to begin again, let this episode be your confirmation: What God placed in you is worth protecting, nurturing, and releasing.

This week I've been hit with the curse of low energy which is a part of existing with bipolar disorder; I have always existed at some point along the sine wave. The lows can be just as bad as the highs although the highs can lead to making crazier decisions. When I'm low I just sleep a lot. So because I'm sleeping a lot, I might as well journal the dreams that I've been having. I hope you all are having a good week whenever and wherever you happen to listen to this.Support the show

When I say the phrase "Healthy Goals for the Non-Athlete," I know it resonates with a lot of people—because even those who once were athletes don't always feel like one anymore. My husband played professional sports, and yet today, like many of us, he notices the shifts: sleep patterns change, flexibility isn't what it used to be, balance takes more intention, and there's a quiet awareness that time matters. This episode isn't about peak performance, six-packs, or training like an Olympian. It's about setting healthy, realistic goals for everyday life—especially if you're in mid-career, at halftime, or beyond. At this stage, healthy goals begin with a healthy mindset, and consistency matters far more than intensity. Today, Greg and I focus on three areas that truly support a strong next chapter: mental health, physical health, and social health.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!Is prayer meant to be a monologue where we ask for things, or a genuine two-way conversation where God talks back? This week, Jennifer Slattery, host of the Faith Over Fear podcast, joins Jaime for an inspiring discussion on how to hear God's voice through the practice of interactive journaling. In this episode, Jennifer unpacks the practical steps of this relational tool, explaining how to move from an intellectualized faith to an emotional connection with the Father. She discusses the importance of releasing expectations and trusting God to speak on His terms—whether through Scripture, nature, or even, as her daughter experiences it, through calculus. Jennifer also shares her moving personal testimony of overcoming the shame of homelessness in her youth. She details a specific moment where she expected God’s condemnation but instead received a persistent, healing message of grace that aligned perfectly with Scripture. You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to attune your ears to God's frequency, practical tips to start your own journaling habit, and the reassurance that God wants to connect with you just as much as you want to connect with Him.

Are you overthinking…or under-processing? What if reflection was the missing piece to becoming (and receiving) everything you've ever wanted?Today, Tara Schuster returns to the Expanded Podcast to explore one of the most impactful healing modalities there is: journaling. Her latest book, This Journal F*cking Works, offers a science-backed and historical look at why journaling is so powerful, woven together with humor and Tara's own journey of rewriting internal narratives to break free from toxic, repetitive thought loops. It's an invitation to start “DMing with your soul” and to open up neural pathways of self-understanding, emotional processing, and healing.Jessica and Tara unpack why ritual matters. Not everything is about maximizing habits, productivity, or “doing it right.” Real transformation often comes from giving your brain space to process lived experience: to be honest, imperfect, and fully human. With this outlook, journaling becomes a bridge between science and intuition, seamlessly supporting your own TBM and personal growth practice.This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in mental loops, wants a grounded and research-backed way to connect more deeply with intuition, and yearns to understand who they are at their core.**Trigger warning: Discussion of self-harm and abusive family dynamics at 00:07:10 through 00:09:28**Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: Return to Magic - 15 Day Manifestation ChallengeA 15-day guided journey to reparent your inner child, reconnect with your magic, and step into this new year as your most confident, regulated, and magnetic self yet.

One of the most powerful moments in this conversation came when Amber said: "I didn't want to do what I was doing… but it became my comfort zone." If you've ever struggled with food, alcohol, or any compulsive behavior, you know exactly what she means. This episode isn't about dieting. It's about why the body holds on — to weight, habits, protection, and survival patterns — even when we desperately want to change. Amber walks us through her healing journey, from childhood trauma and food addiction to full recovery, and explains why binge eating isn't a lack of discipline — it's often a nervous system trying to self-soothe. We discuss: Why restriction and "all-or-nothing" thinking backfire How hormones quietly sabotage progress Why negative self-talk keeps the body in fight-or-flight The difference between managing symptoms and fully healing And why detachment — not obsession — is what allows real change The biggest takeaway? Your body isn't broken. It's protecting you. And once you understand why, everything changes.     ✅ Action Steps for Listeners Identify your triggers Write down emotional, physical, and environmental triggers (fatigue, stress, scale-checking, restriction). Stop blaming willpower Start asking: "What does my body need right now?" Pay attention to self-talk Notice when inner criticism appears — it's often a stress response. Support your nervous system Breathwork, journaling, walking in nature, and rest are not optional — they're foundational. Get curious about hormones If weight or cravings feel "stuck," there may be a biological reason.

In this episode, we're discussing the process of breaking out of your old story and identity, and practical ways to shift. The first step is to become aware of the current story you're telling about yourself: we can do this through an exercise called "the unconscious critic". Once we're aware of our internal world, and who we're currently operating as, we can begin to wire in a new identity. One practice to help with this is called scripting. This is where you begin to write down the new version of you: Who is the best version of you? What are their behaviors? How do they spend their day? Getting clear on this will help you start to take the right actions that will transform you into the person you want to become.    As always, if you'd like help navigating this process, the 1:1 schedule is below!   1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

Self-confidence is built in the moments no one applauds, the awkward missteps and quiet choices that shape how girls learn to trust themselves long before anyone is watching.   Leslie Randolph sits down with journalist and author Rin-rin Yu for a grounded conversation about where confidence actually comes from and why the ordinary moments of childhood matter more than the polished highlights. Drawing from Rin-rin's debut novel Goodbye French Fry, they talk about bullying, belonging, embarrassment, and the internal shift that happens when a girl realizes she can handle hard things. What changes when confidence grows from self-trust instead of approval? How do everyday experiences quietly shape a girl's sense of who she is?   The conversation also explores identity, representation, and the pressure to fit in during the tween years. Rin-rin reflects on growing up without seeing herself in books and why normal stories deserve just as much space as extraordinary ones. Leslie connects these ideas to her work with teens and parents, offering a clear reminder that confidence is learned through experience, reflection, and support rather than perfection.   This episode invites parents to slow down and notice the small wins that rarely make headlines. What moments are shaping your daughter right now? And how might honoring the ordinary help her build confidence that lasts?

Many of these insights were hard-earned over the last decade, and all of them have been shaped by the time I've spent hosting this podcast.This episode is for anyone navigating their 30s, questioning their timeline, rebuilding self-trust, and learning how to live with more intention and alignment instead of fear.Tune in to hear lessons including:Why motivation is a myth and systems matter more than disciplineHow confidence is built by keeping promises to yourselfThe importance of finding your career North StarAn antidote to anxiety, and why communication requires emotional regulationWhy community and relationships are essential to healingUsing boundaries properly, ending people-pleasing, and learning to say yes and no with clarityThe health and wellness changes that moved the needle for meRedefining success and how I use my time and moneyCourage over comfort… and why fear doesn't have to disappearChanging paths, changing your mind, and embracing life in chaptersWhy you are NOT behind in life (there is no correct timeline!)If any of these lessons resonate with you, I'd love to hear which one hit hardest.

What if the biggest obstacle to your business growth isn't your systems, your team, or your market—but the stories you're telling yourself? Adam Coelho discovered this truth at one of the lowest points in his career. Facing the prospect of losing his job at Google, he could have spiraled into panic and desperation. Instead, he made a choice that changed everything: he shifted his mindset and began envisioning new possibilities. The result? He didn't just save his career—he found a role that aligned perfectly with his vision for the future. Your Brain Is Building Your Future Right Now Here's something most business leaders don't realize: your thoughts aren't just passive observations about reality. They're actively creating it. Adam explains the neuroscience behind this phenomenon—how neuroplasticity and the brain's predictive nature mean that the stories we tell ourselves literally shape what we see, what we pursue, and what becomes possible. This isn't feel-good motivation; it's hard science about how our minds work. Beyond Positive Thinking: Practices That Actually Work Adam doesn't just talk about mindset—he provides concrete practices that busy executives can implement: Journaling that goes beyond venting to actively shape your future vision Strategic conversations where you articulate your vision to others, making it more real Affirmations grounded in possibility rather than wishful thinking Visualization that primes your brain to recognize opportunities Mini-experiments that plant seeds for the future you want without requiring massive commitments These aren't add-ons for when you have spare time. They're strategic tools that can shift how you approach every challenge in your business. The Culture System You're Probably Missing In a fascinating turn, the conversation moves from individual mindset to organizational culture. How do you systematize something as intangible as company values? The Feedback Loop That Drives Continuous Improvement One of the most practical parts of our discussion centers on gathering ongoing feedback from clients and participants. Not annual surveys. Not occasional check-ins. Continuous feedback loops that help you improve in real-time. When Envisioning Meets Action Here's where many mindset discussions fall apart: they focus on thinking differently but forget about doing differently. Adam is crystal clear on this point—envisioning isn't about hoping things will magically improve. It's about priming your mind to recognize and act on opportunities that align with your vision. Why This Matters for Service Business Leaders If you're running a service-based business, you're juggling multiple realities: the business you have today, the business you want to build, and all the friction points between the two. You're managing teams, serving clients, handling operations, and trying to find time to think strategically. When Adam was facing that career crisis at Google, he didn't just update his resume. He changed his story. He envisioned new possibilities. He took action aligned with that vision. And the result was better than simply keeping his old job—it was finding a role that actually fit where he wanted to go.

This is Kevin Queen's 10th time on That Sound Fun which basically means he just lapped Hall of Fun status twice!! Today he's helping pastor us as we get started on this journey to become spiritually stronger. We talk about one of the tensions you might face as we get started talking about spiritual disciples and rhythms. We don't want any of this to feel like things you need to check off in order to earn something from God, and Kevin has a really helpful way for us to keep that in check. Then we're going to talk about journaling. If we're going to spend 18 months talking about ways to get spiritually stronger, what if we document what God's doing all the way through? Kevin's a big journaler (I am too), so we talk about his process, how he spends his time with God, and the journaling system that works for him. Remember, none of this is meant to be prescriptive. We're not asking you to adopt the same plan that every guest uses or that I use. These are descriptive, so you get an idea and take it to God to decide how you want to grow with Him. We also will continue this conversation (and I'll tell you some of my favorite journaling tips) over on our Substack.

This podcast episode is about being delusional in the healthiest way possible I really think the worst advice I've ever been given is be realistic Because it's such a dream killer and creates this cycle of limiting beliefs in your mind I just think that too often we put ourselves in a box without realizing it and the moment we break out of that box and realize just how capable we are- we can really accomplish anything we want. if we just keep going, just keep getting back up just never stop I believe so much in thoughts become things and the story you tell yourself becomes the life you live And whatever the next level is that you're trying to reach in your life… you can design it in your head and get so clear on it that you believe it before it's actually happened and then you tell yourself this is happening time just hasn't caught up yet. It's like next level manifesting and the law of attraction and realizing the power that we get back when we remove limiting beliefs, and that urge to be realistic. So let's do a podcast on being delusional in the healthiest way possible because that's the only way to achieve things that are extraordinary and keep growing and evolving and progressing and becoming better and stronger every year.  This is the key to all of this… "This is happening. Time just hasn't caught up yet." • What a self-story really is Your self-story is the collection of beliefs you hold about who you are, what you deserve, and what's possible for you. Most people are living out a story they never consciously chose, built from past experiences, other people's opinions, and old limitations. When you change your self-story, you change what you notice, what you attempt, and what you allow in your life. • Why "being realistic" often keeps people stuck So much advice is rooted in other people's fear, history, and unfulfilled dreams. "Be realistic" can quietly become a dream killer. Extraordinary lives are built by people willing to believe before there is proof, act before there is permission, and stay consistent before results show up. • Healthy delusion, manifesting, and identity-based growth There is a direct connection between belief, identity, and behavior. Thoughts become things when they are paired with clarity, emotion, and consistent action. Many of today's top mindset and habit leaders point back to the same truth: your identity drives your behavior, and your behavior reinforces your identity. • Why so many people quit right before the breakthrough The space between vision and results is where most self-stories collapse. The quiet middle is where doubt grows, momentum feels slow, and people often walk away, sometimes just days or weeks before a major shift. Learning to stay when nothing is happening yet is one of the most powerful skills you can build. • How to build an unshakeable self-story Building a new internal identity starts with deciding who you are becoming on purpose. It grows through tiny daily actions that create real proof. It is protected by being intentional about what you listen to, who you allow influence you, and how you speak to yourself. It is strengthened every time you release a limiting belief before it rewrites your future. • Morning and evening routines that reinforce who you're becoming Morning practices help you step into the person you're becoming before the world sets the tone for your day. Evening practices help you gather proof, reframe challenges, and deepen self-trust. Together, they install and reinforce your self-story daily. • Journaling as identity work Journaling is not just reflection, it is direction. Writing clarifies belief, trains focus, and turns vague desire into a lived identity. The way you write about your life becomes the way you experience your life. • The power of not stopping An unshakeable self-story is not built through intensity. It is built through continuation. Momentum comes from returning, recommitting, and refusing to abandon the version of you you are becoming. If you don't quit, you arrive. • Final thought Your life will always move in the direction of the story you tell yourself. You don't need proof to start. You don't need permission to change it. And you don't need approval to live it. Build a self-story so strong that it pulls your actions forward, then protect it, practice it, and become it.   2.0 Habit System https://howtobeawesomeateverything.com/pages/2-0weeklyhabitsandplanningsystem   Cheers!!

Join Michael Rearden in a transformative conversation with Dr. Laurette Willis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and Christian Weight Loss Coach, as she shares her insights on renewing the mind and transforming your life.

Why This Episode Matters:This episode isn't about hacks, gear flexes, or shortcuts. It's about the internal work that makes a long creative life possible. Birocratic opens up about imposter syndrome, optimism, failure, discipline, and the systems he's built to protect his relationship with music.If you've ever felt behind, overwhelmed, scattered, or unsure whether you're doing “enough,” this conversation offers a grounded, human counterpoint to the pressure-filled narrative surrounding modern music careers.Who is Birocratic:Birocratic is a producer and artist known for warm, melodic, feel-good instrumentals that sit at the intersection of lofi, beat music, and instrumental pop. Beyond his catalog, he's a working musician in many forms: producer, bassist, engineer, mixing engineer, and collaborator. In this episode, we hear not just about his music, but how he thinks about building a life that can actually sustain creativity.What We Dive Into:* Being “the dumbest person in the room” and why that's a gift* Playing bass in a band after years as a solo producer* Developing your ear through listening, transcription, and real-time adaptation* Why recording yourself is one of the fastest learning tools* Optimism, accountability, and separating mistakes from identity* The concept of “personal, permanent, and pervasive” thinking* Journaling, reflection, and mental health as creative maintenance* Morning pages, voice memos, and nightly check-ins* Structure as a gateway to freedom and flow* Timers, non-zero days, and realistic consistency* Saying no, setting boundaries, and protecting creative energy* Collaboration versus solitude, and why both matter* Redefining success beyond milestones and external validationThree Key Takeaways:* Growth Lives in Discomfort: Putting yourself in rooms where you're less experienced can be humbling, but it's one of the fastest paths to real development. Being surrounded by people who are better than you isn't a failure. It's an opportunity.* Structure Protects Inspiration: Clean spaces, clear schedules, timers, and reflection aren't constraints. They're what make flow possible. When the basics are handled, your creativity has room to breathe.* Success Is a Series of Good Days: Success isn't one moment or metric. It's built from showing up, doing what you said you'd do, and ending the day feeling aligned. Stack enough of those days, and the bigger picture takes care of itself.Join the ProducerHead CommunityIf you're not subscribed yet, you'll get access to submit your released music for features, send works-in-progress for feedback, plus two free tools: The Invisible Instruments (a collection of ideas to help you in and out of the studio) and Sonic Stimulus Vol. 1 (a sample pack I made specifically for this community).

EPISODE 661 - Leah Polworth - The heartbreaking news of a terminal diagnosis and the aftermath of sorrow, longing, confusion, and the heartache after lossWelcome to “Letters to Billy.” This memoir is my legacy. Journaling has always been a means for me to track my most heartfelt thoughts, deepest emotions, epiphanies, and reckonings. I am so pleased I persevered and published this memoir, which was initially intended to be something I could pass down to my son, Billy, when he becomes old enough to read and understand it.As I delved deeper into writing about my husband Steve's cancer journey—the knowledge we gained, the decisions we had to make, and the trials and tribulations along the way—it became apparent that my story might resonate with and provide comfort to others whose lives have taken a similar path.This book explores many themes: finding your soul mate, the wonderful man my husband was, the fleeting yet precious time we were blessed to have as a family, and the heartbreak of a terminal diagnosis. It captures hope, doubt, fear, tenacious love, and the short but intense journey through treatment, followed by the aftermath of sorrow, longing, confusion, and heartache after loss. Suddenly, I found myself a single parent needing to raise a young baby amid crushing grief, to the moments of peace, clarity, and reflection as the grief tide slowly ebbs and joy returns once again.I hope you find comfort, solace, and perhaps some inspiration from our story. Thank you for joining me on this path of self-discovery and healing.Book: Letters to Billy: A story of love, loss, lessons and self-discoveryLeah and Steve Polwarth seemed destined for a lifetime of joy. They married in 2017, and by 2019, their hearts swelled with the arrival of their son, Billy.

I've said this before, we're going back to basics when it comes to creating content online. In this AI age we are craving memorable content that connects us and feels human, content that feels real and tangible. There's an increasing trend for an analog lifestyle, we'll explore what those trends look like with lots of examples (all linked below!) and how I plan to incorporate this into my own content in 2026. We'll talk about how the viral Topgolf story ended and what viral unplanned moments can teach us about belonging online. We'll also discuss how important your retention rates are and why community interactions are key to engagement and growth.In this episode we'll be covering:Reframing trendy content, especially if you feel anti-trend and don't want to follow along.Getting people to interact with your posts and how I get so many comments.Creating content that makes people feel connected and like they belong somewhere.Why the analog trend is working so well right now and how to start incorporating it into your own content plan.How to hold audience attention, and increase retention rates and watch time with current trends.Featured content in this episode:Shannonmckinstrie: Topgolf breakdownTravelingtoretirement: Our number one money rule as a married coupleProfessorcorporate: Ways to call people stupid at workSatmasterclass: WritingAmbitiouslyalexa: January journal prompts Wordsof_emmaheaphy: Journaling on screenAskbridgetteg: Boyfriend instruction manualTheselfhelpplanner: Four goals you need for 2026Vuongdusti: Media I've been consuming instead of doomscrollingCheesegal: You let your kids pick the menuTahirashome: 10 Things we did to makeRecommended episodes:Episode 067: The Importance of Belonging on Social MediaEpisode 088: Find Your Content Rhythm and Build a Simple Content StrategyEpisode 090: How You're Going to Become Really Good at Content Creation in 2026 (Part 2)Episode 092: This is the Era of Experiences and BelongingEpisode 096: Building Real Community with Stories and Shared MomentsSend a message!If you use the send a message option above, be sure to include your email address if you would like a reply!

This podcast dives deep into the “noise” we all face, the distractions, doubts and challenges that can pull us away from who we truly are.

In this episode, I share a deeply personal and wide ranging conversation I recently had with Greg Gerber, host of the Forward From 50 podcast. Greg originally came into my world more than a decade ago as a Podcasting A to Z student. Today, he hosts a show dedicated to people over fifty who know their best work is still ahead of them. The conversation became a powerful reflection on identity, ambition, reinvention, and what it means to step fully into the work you were made to do. This conversation tells the story of my journey from insurance agent to podcaster, from Podcast Answer Man to mindset and business strategist, and now into this next chapter where everything is coming together with more clarity and alignment than ever before. Key insights from this conversation Your voice and desire to communicate are not accidents. They are clues to what you are here to do. Mine started with CB radio and a toy microphone long before podcasting ever existed. Leaving a career that works is often harder than leaving one that fails. Walking away from insurance, and later from Podcast Answer Man, required trusting who I was becoming more than what I had already built. Podcasting A to Z did far more than launch shows. It revealed that most people were really looking for business clarity, confidence, and a way to create income and impact from what they already knew. The difference between a hobby and a business is not a podcast. It is having a clear ideal client, a real problem, and a way to solve it that people are willing to pay for. Your identity is not the role you played. Losing a job or retiring does not mean you lost who you are. It just means one chapter ended. Journaling is one of the fastest ways to reconnect with who you are, why you are here, and what you actually want. Desire is not something to be justified. It is something to be listened to. The 50 Things I Want exercise is a way to let that voice speak again. The people you surround yourself with either expand your vision or quietly shrink it. Choose wisely. The return of Podcast Answer Man is not nostalgia. It is a strategic move made possible by new tools, better leverage, and a deeper understanding of how I serve people best. The first fifty years of my life were preparation for the work I am doing now. Ready to start your own podcast If this episode stirred something in you and you have been thinking about starting a podcast or finally taking the one you have more seriously, I invite you to join me for my next session of Podcasting A to Z. This is my four week live coaching experience where you and I work together to turn your idea, message, and voice into real impact. You can learn more and register at PodcastingAtoZ.com

In this month of January, the beginning of the New Year, some of us may be looking at our current habits and patterns, returning to practices that have fallen away, reinvigorating activities that have lost luster, and exploring new ways of caring for and connecting with our selves. Journaling might be one of those practices that you are thinking about engaging with -- or perhaps feel like you should do, but don't really want to. In today's episode, lifelong daily journaler Sheryl and never-journaler Victoria talk about the intentions and mindsets behind healthy, helpful journaling; the pitfalls of perfectionism; why Sheryl doesn't use a special, "beautiful" notebook for journaling; and two particular methods that Sheryl suggests for effective, supportive journaling.  References: 10 Percent Happier podcast episode: The Science Of Journaling: How Writing Reduces Overthinking, Rumination, And Anxiety with Dr. James Pennebaker The Country Commonplace Book by Miranda Hills Dear America and Royal Diaries series 10 Percent Happier podcast episode "How to Handle Your Inner Critic," with Amita Schmidt Internal Family Systems therapy Sheryl's book The Wisdom of Anxiety Morning Pages practice from The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

When my therapist first told me to start journaling as part of my recovery practice, I literally laughed in her face. Journaling? Like... affirmations? I didn't believe that writing in a notebook would help me recover from my eating disorder. It seemed too simple. Too basic. Too... pointless. But sis, I was so wrong. Journaling didn't just help me recover. It actually saved my life. And if fear is keeping you stuck in restrictive behaviors right now—if you're terrified to recover because you're not sure who you'll be without your eating disorder—then you need to hear this. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 7 science-backed benefits of journaling that transformed my recovery and why this simple practice might be the missing piece in yours. We live in a culture of information overload—endless scrolling, constant content, comparison on every platform. But what if instead of consuming more, you need to process what's already in your mind? According to the National Institute of Health, 26% of adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. And yet, only 8% of the world population keeps a journal. It's time to go back to the basics. It's time to slow down. It's time to give your brain the space it needs to heal. In this episode, you'll discover: Why I laughed when my therapist suggested journaling (and why I was so wrong) The shocking statistics about mental health and why we need to process, not just consume 7 powerful benefits of journaling in eating disorder recovery (backed by science) How journaling reduces anxiety and depression while boosting your immune system Why getting thoughts OUT of your mind is critical for cognitive processing How writing promotes healing, acceptance, and actually changes your brain The way I used journaling to replace negative coping mechanisms with positive ones How journaling gives you reset, redirection, and compassion for your journey Why reflecting on your progress through old journals sparks hope and momentum Practical tips on how to start journaling TODAY (no fancy notebook required) If you've been stuck, if you've been overwhelmed by the thoughts in your mind, if you don't know where to go next—this episode is your permission to start simple. Start small. Start today. Journaling changed my life. And it can change yours too. KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

In this episode, I talk about my experience with dream journaling, a practice I recently started after watching an interview with Teresa Chung. I share how quickly I realized that dreams aren't random; they can offer real guidance, reassurance, and confirmation when you know how to pay attention. I walk through a few of my own dreams and how they reflected exactly what I've been moving through in my life and work. We talk about how dreams communicate through symbols and metaphors, speaking directly to the subconscious instead of the logical mind, and why writing them down matters more than you think. If you've ever felt like your dreams were trying to tell you something, this episode might give you the push you need to start listening!

Suleika Jaouad, author of a bestselling memoir about her battle with cancer, and most recently, The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life (Penguin Random House, 2025), discusses her latest Substack essay on how New Year's resolutions almost never stick, and how she engages in the pleasures of small rituals instead. Listeners call in to share about the resolutions they made that they've actually stuck with... which may be more like smaller, daily rituals instead of lofty, life-changing goals.
