Blending a family isn't just about making schedules work or learning each other's habits. It's about entering into an already-formed culture — one that existed before you. For the stepparent, that often means grieving what you imagined family life would look like, while choosing to restrain yourself from immediately reshaping the environment into “yours.”In this episode, Jason and Lauren Vallotton talk candidly about:Why grief is a normal and healthy part of the step-parenting journeyThe tension between honoring the existing family culture and slowly helping build a new oneThe unspoken expectations that every stepparent carries — and what to do with themWhy building a new “normal” takes years (Ron Deal says seven, and it often feels true!)Encouragement for couples to stay connected in the long process of blendingIf you're in the thick of a blended family dynamic, you are not crazy and you are not alone. Healing, belonging, and love can grow in the middle of the mess — but it takes time, patience, and a lot of grace.PatreonIf you've enjoyed this podcast, would you consider financially supporting the show?

Show Notes:Lindsay's Links:www.fixguiding.comhttps://alpinist.com/newswire/womens-expedition-explores-new-routes-in-indias-zanskar-range/https://amga.com/meet-amga-lindsay-fixmer/Episode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, happy Wednesday. This is your host, Ting Ting, from Las Vegas. Today our guest is Lindsay Fixmer from Bozeman, Montana.Lindsay Fixmer is an experienced alpine, ice, and rock climbing guide who has been guiding since 2006. She is on the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) Instructor Team, develops and teaches outdoor programming at Montana State University, and also instructs at indoor facilities. Lindsay spends her winters ice guiding in Montana and Wyoming, spring and fall at various rock venues in the western U.S., and splits her summers between Bozeman and the eastern Sierra. As an AMGA Certified Alpine and Rock Guide, Lindsay brings her passion for climbing to her work, inspiring her clients to excel, build confidence, hone skills, and meet their goals.We dive deep into the interconnectedness among all different forms of climbing and how learning one can inspire the learning of others, and vice versa. I explored in depth Lindsay's mission statement, how she emphasizes educating and inspiring people through patience and partnership. We talked about the balance of work and play, mentorship, and more. I learned so much from Lindsay, and listening to her describe ice climbing made me want to pick up ice tools again.Things We Talked about:Climbing career started earlyIndoor versus outdoor climbingPotential side gigLindsay's mission statementA life-changing experience – 12 year old backpacked through CanyonlandsAll women's trip to India and first ascents in Northern HimalayasGuiding and doing first ascents with Chicks Climbing and Skiing“Ice is my life” – Lindsay's ice climbing journeyThe interconnectedness of rock climbing and ice climbing and all climbingWork/play balanceMentorship and Tom Hargus's inspiring quote “the day I stop learning is the day I stop guiding.”Performance anxiety?Quotes:If you enjoy watching people succeed and become more knowledgeable and more skilled, then it [guiding] is very rewarding work.I've been teaching ice climbing for a long time, but you're always learning something new and the way that people respond to the words that you're using and also the descriptors and the movement, you continually learn how people differently see things and respond.…even rock to ice. We say that they're very different, but I don't think that's true because you're either in or out of balance in life. So Our ergonomics don't change. It's just the medium.It is very much a partnership. you have to feel confident that your guide is with you and they can relate to you and understand and help you.Patience is a massive component of helping people succeed and opening that door to being more vulnerable and being okay with that.…when you really realize how small you are and how large the Earth and the universe is. And it was pretty amazing.Oftentimes you had to make adjustments based on the conditions and how to get off of something that you had climbed. It wasn't always just V-thread really straightforward. There were some more interesting ways of getting off of things.Ice is always changing. It's never the same. The routes always change, which is pretty cool.If you've shut yourself off to learning or just don't want to do it anymore more. You're on to something else in your life.

I thought I was healed. But the truth? Fear was still running my life — hiding under the mask of confidence, control, and pride.In this episode, I open up about the moment I realized my childhood trauma didn't just leave scars — it built an ego that I thought was protecting me… but was actually holding me back.This isn't about arriving at the finish line.

Jonathan Wolf is the co-founder and CEO of ZOE, the science-based nutrition company using data to transform how people eat. In this candid conversation, he joins Alisa to explore what it takes to build a mission-driven company, how to lead with more clarity and transparency, and why the way we eat is more broken and more fixable than most people think.ZOE's origin story is as unconventional as it is inspiring. After scaling Critéo into a billion-dollar business, Jonathan stepped away with no plan and plenty of questions. That wandering period led him to microbiome researcher Tim Spector, and from there, to the bold idea of using AI and big data to personalize nutrition at scale. Eight years and 250,000 microbiome samples later, ZOE is running the world's largest nutrition science study and has launched a free app to help people assess their food in real time.In this episode:Why Jonathan left the world of adtech in search of purposeHis sabbatical was a challenging period of self-discovery.The importance of relationships over ideas became clear to him.How he navigated the founder's journeyThe scientific gaps in mainstream nutrition adviceWhat most people misunderstand about ultra-processed foodHow ZOE turned a research project into a product that helps millionsWhat coffee can reveal about your gut microbiomeWhy leadership gets easier when you stop trying to be likedHow Jonathan uses one key question to make sure he's actually being heardWhy ZOE launched a free tool to put science into people's handsHow to communicate clearly as a CEO without over-explainingWhy repeating your message 100 times is part of the jobHow to hire people who care more about the mission than the resumeWhat coaching and therapy taught Jonathan about being an effective leaderWhy ZOE's shift to a free app was a strategic business decisionHow to scale without losing sight of your company's purposeJonathan also shares the emotional and psychological journey of leadership: learning to make hard calls without sugarcoating, building teams that stick, and staying grounded while leading a fast-growing company.ZOE's new free app is now available in the US. It uses AI to analyze any food item or meal for its processing risk and nutritional quality, helping people make smarter choices instantly.
