I've been podcasting for 7 years and have produced 6 podcasts, and I love helping indie creators solve the stuff that all podcasters face: inconsistent content creation, lack of listener engagement, and monetization that feels out of reach. My approach is friendly and grounded in real workflows, examples from my own personal mistakes, and strategies that work even when you don't have a big team. I've spoken at Podcast Movement on monetization strategy (“Sponsorships, Subscriptions, or Support? Choose the Right Monetization Strategy for Your Podcast”), and on how indie podcasters can rival the pros through smart branding, marketing, and monetizing. I also taught PodConf's “Pitch Your Podcast!” session on landing sponsorships without sounding salesy, including cold email tips and templates.Connect with Jordan Blair & Buzzsprout:https://buzzcast.buzzsprout.com/https://www.buzzsprout.com/1957181/resourcesSupport the showSupport Ageless Glamour Girls™:www.agelessglamourgirls.com        www.linkedin.com/in/marqueetacurtishaynes       https://www.shopltk.com/explore/AgelessGlamourGirls https://www.youtube.com/@agelessglamourgirls      Instagram @agelessglamourgirlsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/agelessglamourgirlsPrivate (AGG) FB Group: The Ageless Café: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theagelesscafeTikTok: @agelessglamourgirlsPodcast Producers: Ageless Glamour Girls™ and Purple Tulip Media, LLC  

https://enlighteninglife.com/myth-forgiveness/In a recent conversation with a friend about my family and why I had to establish no contact with them 18 months ago, she asked ‘Will you ever forgive them?” “Why should I,” I replied, “when their actions just showed me the truth I had been ignoring for years?” “Well, that's not very spiritual,” she replied. “How is it spiritual to continue to let people stay in my life when they have showed me, time and time again, that they do not love, honor, or respect me and that is not going to change?” I do not plan to forgive them for anything they did because it is not necessary. I have already done all of the forgiving I need to do, by forgiving myself for believing that fixing this family dysfunction was my job and that somehow, if I worked hard enough, overlooked enough toxicity, and forgave often enough, that some day the Norman Rockwell version of family bliss would somehow be mine. The idea that forgiveness should be given to people who do not want it, care about it, or deserve it has kept us locked in toxic relationships for years or longer. And especially if you consider yourself to be spiritual, you believe that you should unconditionally forgive people for being cruel, unkind, and mean to you. At some point, we accepted the belief that granting forgiveness was going to change their behavior. It will not and it never has.

Send us Fan MailWe're getting a head start on celebrating mothers and women in mothering roles! In this special Mother's Day episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast - captured during a LIVE conversation earlier today - we brought together a dynamic group of women for a heartfelt discussion about motherhood - then and now. A heartfelt THANK YOU to Ange, Tamara, Jennifer, and Lisa for bringing such honesty, laughter, wisdom, and vulnerability to the conversation.

Solomon debunks the idea of karma by saying that we are not guaranteed good results when we do good things or bad results when we do bad things. We are responsible for our actions, and it is certainly better to be wise and righteous than to be foolish and wicked, but God is in control of the outcome, and there are some common graces we all receive. So, we should always try to do what is right, not so we will receive a certain outcome, but because we love and serve a sovereign God. Focusing on Him helps us do what is right and enables us to enjoy the gifts He has given us in this life.

Send us a textWhat if joy isn't a perk but the operating system of high performance? We sit down with visionary leader and five-time entrepreneur Marissa Levin to unpack why joy—grounded in psychological safety and clear structure—creates cultures where people do their best work and stay longer. No fluff here: we connect joy to engagement, retention, and real business results, while sharing practical steps leaders can take this week.Marissa introduces her joyful leadership model, built around the symbolism of the lotus: growth through the mud, resilience in the storm, and the softening of ego. We break down the six petals—principles, process, perspective, presence, people, and play—and show how each petal translates into daily leadership moves. From clarifying values and mission to eliminating chaos with clean processes, from widening your lens to being intentional about your energy, the model offers a roadmap any leader can use to reduce friction and unlock creativity.We also tackle skepticism head-on. Drawing on research around psychological safety and gratitude, Marissa explains how safety becomes the gateway to joy, and how joy fuels sustained performance. You'll hear concrete stories from remote teams, a powerful “soul behind the role” lens for seeing your people, and a simple joy audit you can run on yourself before you try to shift your culture. Expect fresh language you can take into the boardroom and immediate actions that move joy from “woo-woo” to “must do.”If you lead a team, coach executives, or simply want work to feel alive again, this conversation will equip you with tools to align purpose and paycheck, spark innovation with play, and build the kind of culture that holds steady under pressure. Listen, take notes, and tell us: where will you plant the first petal today? Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review to help more leaders discover joyful leadership.Watch the full interview by clicking here. Find the full article here.Learn more about Marissa here. Marissa has graciously provided our listeners with her PDF of The Art of Joyful Living and Leading. Grab your free issue of choice Magazine here - https://choice-online.com/

Send us a textThe holidays can magnify everything — joy, grief, loneliness, and pressure. And for many women after 50, this season can feel especially complicated.In this powerful conversation, Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with psychologist, author, podcaster, and speaker Dr. Jody Carrington to explore why loneliness feels louder during the holidays — and what actually helps. Together, they unpack the loss of predictable connection, shifting family roles, grief, and the unrealistic expectation that we're all supposed to feel joyful this time of year.Dr. Jody shares why humans are biologically wired for connection, the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how small, intentional moments of connection can be life-saving — not just during the holidays, but all year long.This episode is an invitation to slow down, lower the pressure, and remember that connection — not perfection — is what carries us through. CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies!BiographyDr. Jody Carrington is a powerhouse speaker and fearless champion for authentic human connection. She is highly sought after for her expertise, energy and genuine approach to helping people solve the most complex human-centred problems. This rapidly disconnected world is leaving so many of us overwhelmed, lonely, and burned out. Dr. Jody boldly believes that all humans have the capacity for good; however, so many of us these days, because of isolation and burnout, have lost access to that good.Dr. Jody's work often involves understanding just how we got to this disconnected place, what we need to put the pieces back together, and maybe most importantly, how we collectively do "the work" to find our way back home again when (not if) we lose our way. Her authentic, honest, and often hilarious approach never fails to inspire and motivate audiences.Dr. Carrington is the founder and principal psychologist at Carrington & Company, she's written three best-selling books, speaks on hundreds of stages globally each year, and hosts the widely celebrated podcast UNLONELY. In this modern world where we look all the time, but we don't see, where we listen but we don't hear, Dr. Jody is clear on one thing: we were never meant to do any of this alone.https://www.drjodycarrington.com/https://www.instagram.com/drjodycarrington/Support the show https://buymeacoffee.com/agelessglamourgirls www.linkedin.com/in/marqueetacurtishaynes www.agelessglamourgirls.com https://www.shopltk.com/explore/AgelessGlamourGirls https://www.youtube.com/@agelessglamourgirls Instagram @agelessglamourgirls Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agelessglamourgirls Private (AGG) FB Group: The Ageless Café: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theagelesscafe TikTok: @agelessglamourgirls Podcast Producers: Ageless Glamour Girls and Purple Tulip Media, LLC

Ever wonder what it takes to manifest a completely different life—one rooted in authenticity, joy, and creative freedom?In this powerful Process episode, Cynthia, TBM's very own Content Creator, walks us through her transformation. In just a year and a half, Cynthia went from being a burnt-out corporate worker stuck in a cycle of overperformance and under-recognition to a thriving, aligned freelancer living a life of true abundance.Raised between Taiwan and the U.S., Cynthia internalized the belief that hard work—not self-expression—was the key to success. Despite rapid promotions and tripling her salary in a high-profile role, she found herself disconnected, anxious, and unfulfilled. Through the TBM work—DIs, expanders, nervous system regulation—Cynthia cleared space, followed pings rooted in joy, and unlocked dream opportunities like a long-term creative partnership with Amazon and eventually, her role at TBM.This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt unseen in your career, afraid to step away from the “golden handcuffs,” or unsure how to live in alignment. Cynthia shares how choosing rest, joy, and authenticity—day by day—can radically shift your life.

Join a transformative conversation with Grace Harry, the Joy Alchemist, as she redefines joy as a heartfelt communication rather than mere positivity. Grace reveals the importance of feeling deeply, rather than thinking our way through life, and how reconnecting with our emotions unlocks a true sense of joy.

From limiting digital distractions to embracing gratitude in small moments, Grace's approach challenges us to become “Chief Energy Officers” of our own lives.
