Podcasts about key insights

This week we're discussing Why Do I Feel Like Damaged Goods? Most of us don't walk around calling ourselves damaged. But the belief shows up anyway. In the way you brace before getting close to someone. In the quiet assumption that what happened to you says something permanent about who you are. Whether it came from loss, from words spoken over you in a hard season, from a relationship that ended badly or one that never got to begin, the feeling has a way of becoming identity before you even realize it happened. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, sits down with Elizabeth Cole, single parent and co-host, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and single parent herself, for an honest conversation about why so many solo parents carry a private belief that they are somehow less than. Less worthy of connection. Less capable of being loved well. And what it actually looks like to start believing something different - not through willpower, but through the right people and the right environments. Key Insights from This Episode: The "damaged goods" feeling has company. Virtually every solo parent carries some version of this, and naming that out loud is the first thing that starts to shift it. The broken mirror wasn't you. The voices that told you something was wrong with you came from somewhere - and that source matters more than you think. Shame doesn't heal in isolation. Getting into environments where someone else says "me too" does something that self-help and positive thinking simply can't.

Anika sat down with Kristian Fields, President of Klover Contracting, to explore why the construction industry remains stuck in outdated practices while a few innovators are fundamentally reshaping how large-scale infrastructure gets built. They revealed a counterintuitive truth: the problem isn't labor shortage—it's workflow predictability. Kristian's 25-year perspective on construction management and his experience scaling Klover offered practical solutions against the persistent "construction can't change" narrative, alongside a sharp look at where prefabrication and AI actually create value.In This EpisodeThe origin story of Kristian's transition from VP Field Operations to President and what it actually requiredScaling velocity: watching Klover expand from regional contractor to national prefab leader with 100,000 sq ft manufacturing facilityThe prefabrication bet: why solving a 450,000-worker shortage required rethinking entire construction workflowsTeam culture that endures: why the "31 Fundamentals" campaign transformed hiring and retentionWhy documented processes and institutional memory matter more than raw headcountThe ongoing myth that prefab compromises quality—what real project data actually showsBuilding the BIM-to-Field execution bridge and why that gap existedLeadership lessons from historic preservation to data centers: why architectural intent matters in every buildPredictive automation versus chatbot AI: where manufacturing is actually headedTimestamps00:00 Introduction: 25 years in construction management10:00 The prefabrication origin story and why it started 15 years ago12:16 The construction industry's real problem: skilled labor shortage and workflow unpredictability22:01 Environmental impact: reducing 3,000+ gallons of diesel fuel through prefab consolidation29:24 Preparing for AI-assisted manufacturing: rethinking BIM coding for future machine integration36:33 Advice for newcomers: pursue work you enjoy, stay close to target roles, maintain humility39:00 The core mantra: "Be relentless about improvement" and "action over accuracy"Key Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Workflow Unpredictability Isn't a Labor Problem—It's a Strategy ProblemConstruction sites with 50+ workers juggling electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and structural crews operate like traffic on a congested highway. One trade delays another. The industry assumes the solution is hiring more workers. Klover's insight: the problem is predictability. By moving complex coordination off-site into BIM modeling and prefabrication, you eliminate the traffic jam entirely. The fix isn't more people—it's smarter workflows.Insight 2: Culture Scales Through Documented Examples, Not Top-Down MandatesThe "31 Fundamentals" campaign works because it's not a poster on the wall. Every week, Kristian shares one fundamental with real examples of employees living it. Other employees then submit their own interpretations. Recognition follows. That's how culture survives hypergrowth—through repetition, example, and celebration of behavior you want to see.Insight 3: AI Amplifies What You Already Have—It Doesn't Create Value in a VacuumKristian isn't chasing chatbots or automation theater. He's preparing for AI that augments human expertise. The vision: BIM models coded to eventually communicate with automated welders or assembly equipment. Workers don't disappear—they expand their capacity. If you don't have documented processes and repeatable workflows, no AI tool compensates. Your advantage is the expertise you've already built.Insight 4: The Future Isn't Conversational AI—It's Predictive IntelligenceForget chatbots answering questions. Imagine manufacturing AI that knows your project timeline, your site constraints, your crew's skill level, and your budget—and it automatically optimizes panel sequencing, delivery schedules, and installation sequences without asking a single question. That's predictive intelligence. That's where Klover is heading.Resources & Links MentionedKlover ContractingWebsite: www.kloverinc.comServices: Prefab construction, BIM coordination, data center solutions, healthcare, multifamily housing, higher educationKey ConceptsBIM (Building Information Modeling): 3D digital modeling that resolves design conflicts before manufacturingJust-in-Time Delivery: Manufacturing and delivering components precisely when needed to avoid wasteThe 31 Fundamentals: Weekly cultural communication framework covering safety, quality, teamwork, and accountabilityPrefabrication: Off-site manufacturing of building components for faster, safer, more predictable installationAbout Kristian FieldsKristian Fields is President of Klover Contracting, a prefabrication and commercial construction leader serving healthcare, multifamily housing, higher education, and data center markets across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

How do you protect your child without living in constant fear? In this deeply compassionate coaching session, Christine works with Shelley, whose journey through chronic illness, mold toxicity, Lyme disease, fertility challenges, and becoming a new mother has left her feeling trapped in a cycle of hypervigilance around environmental toxins. What began as a genuine desire to keep her daughter safe has slowly become an exhausting mental prison. Every trip to the grocery store feels overwhelming. Every product label raises questions. Every social media post from health experts seems to introduce a new threat. Instead of enjoying motherhood, Shelley finds herself consumed by worry and worst-case scenarios. As Christine gently unpacks the deeper layers beneath the anxiety, a powerful truth emerges: Shelley's hypervigilance isn't the problem—it's a protective part of her that developed after years of trauma, illness, and uncertainty. Together they explore Parts Work (Internal Family Systems), nervous system regulation, motherhood, chronic illness recovery, intuition, and the difference between living from awareness versus living from fear. If you've ever found yourself obsessing over health, constantly researching the next thing to worry about, or feeling like your mind has become consumed by trying to control the uncontrollable, this episode offers a compassionate path back to peace. Press play to discover how trusting yourself—and allowing love to become louder than fear—can help you step out of survival mode and back into your life. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you spend so much time trying to protect yourself or your loved ones that it's difficult to enjoy the present moment? Has your search for health information become a source of anxiety instead of empowerment? Are you constantly scanning for what could go wrong instead of appreciating what is going well? What would change if you trusted your intuition more than your fear? Key Insights and A-Ha's Hypervigilance is often a protective response born from trauma—not a character flaw. Information becomes overwhelming when fear is driving the search for certainty. You don't need to eliminate your protective parts—you can simply give them a new role. Awareness is empowering; obsession is exhausting. Raising your inner sense of safety can be just as important as reducing external risks. How to Deepen the Work Notice when your protective part is taking over and gently thank it for trying to keep you safe. Limit exposure to fear-based content that keeps your nervous system activated. Spend intentional time strengthening the parts of yourself that feel creative, joyful, intuitive, and present. Practice speaking words of trust, health, and resilience over yourself and your loved ones.

Anika sits down with Julie Ellis to explore the inflection point every founder dreads—the moment you've built the business, achieved the goal, and suddenly realize you have no idea who you are without it. Discover why selling an eight-figure business can feel like grief disguised as success, how delegation is the real bottleneck between scaling and plateauing, and the counterintuitive truth that derails most women entrepreneurs: it's never about having a bigger vision. It's about believing you're worthy of one—and whether you have the systems and people around you to make it real.In This EpisodeFrom dance to finance to founder: How an unexpected career path led Julie to solve a problem every parent knew existedThe basement to eight figures: Building Mabel's Labels from a 300 sq ft basement in Hamilton, Ontario to an internationally recognized brand—with zero industry experienceGrassroots growth and celebrity endorsements: How a tiny magazine feature led to Daily Candy recognition and a life-changing mention from Elizabeth Hasselbeck on The ViewThe art of delegation and scaling: Why most founders plateau and what separates those who scale to eight figures from those stuck at product-market fitThe post-exit identity crisis: Navigating grief, imposter syndrome, and gratitude after selling to Avery Products—and why the 90-day rest period changed everythingBig Gorgeous Goals: Why "gorgeous" matters as much as "big"—and how to chase ambitious goals while actually enjoying the journeyThe confidence gap and funding inequity: Why only 2.9% of venture capital goes to women entrepreneurs, and what Julie is doing to change thatPocket Coach: The asynchronous coaching model that keeps entrepreneurial momentum alive between sessionsBuilding community for women founders: The Big Gorgeous Goals podcast and investing in women-led businessesLeading through uncertainty: Why the biggest breakthroughs happen in times of changeTimestamps00:00 Introduction: The woman who solved every parent's labeling problem02:01 An unexpected founder: Dance degree, 15 years in finance, and the moment everything changed04:00 The basement days: One year of research, zero industry experience, and a team of misfits06:28 From tiny magazine feature to Elizabeth Hasselbeck's endorsement on The View11:06 The biggest gap between founders who plateau and those who scale: Delegation and decision-making12:49 The acquisition: Selling Mabel's Labels after nearly 13 years—and why it was the right time17:29 The post-sale emotions: Grief, imposter syndrome, and the gratitude sandwich19:07 The 90-day rest and the identity crisis: Why "I'm not qualified" became the biggest lie22:22 The coaching pivot: Why certification gave her the "add" she was looking for23:18 Writing during the pandemic: How a daily writing group turned a book idea into Big Gorgeous Goals25:37 Why "gorgeous" matters: Dancing toward your goals instead of grinding toward them28:01 Creating white space: Why unstructured time is where the best ideas live31:33 The confidence gap and funding inequity: 2.9% of VC goes to women; only 2% of women-founded businesses reach $1M33:45 Pocket Coach: Asynchronous coaching for keeping momentum alive between sessions35:52 The Big Gorgeous Goals podcast: Storytelling for women entrepreneurs39:02 Her ideal coaching clients: Low seven-figure founders scaling to $5-10M40:01 What's next: New keynotes and workshops on leading bold teams through uncertainty41:38 Her guiding quote: Rabindranath Tagore's "Reach high for stars lie hidden in you"Key Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Unmet Market Needs Beat Industry ExpertiseJulie and her co-founders had no background in supply chain, marketing, or distribution—just a teacher, a financial planner, a lawyer, and a printing expert. What they had was a real problem to solve and a growth mindset. Expertise can be learned; identifying genuine customer pain points cannot.Insight 2: Delegation and Decision-Making Are the Scaling BottleneckThe biggest gap between founders who plateau and those who scale to eight figures isn't product or market—it's the ability to delegate and make decisions. Most founders get caught in the "I should have just done it myself" trap, which prevents them from reaching the next level.Insight 3: Post-Exit Grief Is Real—And Worth ProcessingSelling your business is an achievement, but it's also a loss. Julie experienced imposter syndrome, grief, and identity confusion after the sale. Her 90-day rest period—where she did nothing—was transformative. The emotional work matters as much as the financial outcome.Insight 4: White Space Is Where Creativity LivesThe best ideas don't come at your desk—they come in the shower, on a walk, flying on a plane. Creating intentional unstructured time requires saying no to things and protecting space fiercely, even though it feels counterintuitive.Insight 5: Women Entrepreneurs Face Systemic Funding and Confidence GapsOnly 2.9% of venture capital goes to women, yet women-led businesses outperform on efficiency and team management. The solution isn't just funding—it's mentoring, networks, and other women believing in women.Insight 6: Asynchronous Coaching Keeps Momentum AliveTraditional coaching sessions every two weeks create gaps where momentum dies. Pocket Coach's voicemail-based model lets entrepreneurs push through decisions in real time, maintaining the energy they need to scale.About Julie EllisJulie Ellis is a leadership coach, author, investor, and podcast host specializing in helping women entrepreneurs scale from seven to eight figures and beyond. She co-founded Mabel's Labels in a 300 sq ft basement in Hamilton, Ontario in 2003, growing it into an internationally recognized eight-figure brand before selling to Avery Products in 2016.After a 90-day rest and a brief stint managing 135 people in corporate retail, Julie pursued coaching certification and discovered her true calling: helping other entrepreneurs navigate the inflection points she'd experienced. She is the author of Big Gorgeous Goals: Bold Women Achieve Great Things, which features interviews with 16 women entrepreneurs who've scaled beyond the comfort zone.Today, Julie invests in women-led businesses, hosts the Big Gorgeous Goals podcast, offers one-on-one and asynchronous coaching through Pocket Coach, and delivers keynotes and workshops on leading bold teams through uncertainty.Resources & Links MentionedJulie Ellis's EcosystemBig Gorgeous Goals (Book) — Hybrid published with Page Two, distributed through MacmillanBig Gorgeous Goals Workbook — Self-published companion guideBig Gorgeous Goals Podcast — Stories from seven and eight-figure female foundersPocket Coach — Asynchronous voicemail-based coaching for entrepreneursConnect with Julie EllisOpen to: Keynotes, workshops on leading bold teams through uncertainty, coaching, and investing in women-led businessesLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-ellis/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejulieellisWebsite: www.julieellis.caSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we're discussing How to Build a Core Community. You know you need people. You've felt it, probably more in the last season of your life than ever before. But needing community and knowing how to build it are two very different things. It's easy to look around and feel like everyone else has their people figured out, while you're still trying to work out where you even fit. Whether you're starting over after loss or divorce, navigating an unplanned pregnancy, or simply realizing the friendships you had don't quite hold the shape of your life anymore, that ache of not having a solid crew around you is real. And it matters. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, sits down with Elizabeth Cole, single parent, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) and single parent, to talk honestly about what it takes to build community that actually holds. No guest this week, just three people who've lived it, comparing notes on what worked, what didn't, and what they'd tell their earlier selves about finding the right people. Key Insights from This Episode: Build a patchwork of people, not a single lifeline. Spreading your needs across multiple relationships is what keeps community sustainable for everyone. When people pull away, it's usually discomfort, not cruelty. Most people don't know how to stay present in someone else's pain, and that's different from not caring. Giving is what turns a group of people into actual community. Showing up for others, even in small ways, is what creates the kind of belonging you're looking for. And if you want to keep the conversation going, Robert, Elizabeth, and Amber are going live on July 19th at 7:00 PM Central to tackle another big community question: can men and women really just be friends?

Have you ever felt like you've done all the inner work... yet one fear refuses to leave? In this compassionate and eye-opening coaching session, Christine works with Ilaria, who has spent years in therapy, practicing breathwork, nervous system regulation, and inner child healing. Yet one fear continues to consume her: the overwhelming fear of losing her parents. As she approaches her mid-thirties and begins thinking about creating a life of her own—finding a partner, becoming more independent, and stepping into her future—the fear grows even stronger. Why? Because underneath the anxiety isn't simply a fear of loss. It's a younger part of her that believes worrying is the only way to protect the people she loves. Christine introduces Ilaria to the powerful framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Parts Work, helping her recognize that this fear isn't all of who she is—it's one protective part that's been trying to keep her safe since childhood. Together they explore acceptance, self-compassion, nervous system healing, and why sometimes the greatest breakthrough comes not from trying harder to fix ourselves, but from changing how we relate to the parts of us that are hurting. If you've ever felt trapped by anxiety, worried constantly about the people you love, or wondered why years of healing haven't made a particular fear disappear, this episode offers a deeply hopeful new perspective. Press play to discover how accepting your fear—rather than fighting it—may be the very thing that finally brings you peace. Consider / Ask Yourself Is there a fear you've been trying to eliminate for years without success? Do you constantly worry about losing the people you love? Have you confused your anxiety with your identity? Could one protective part of you be trying to keep you safe in the only way it knows how? Key Insights and A-Ha's Anxiety doesn't define you—it may simply be one protective part of your inner world. Healing isn't always about eliminating fear; sometimes it's about changing your relationship to it. Love and fear often become intertwined, making it difficult to experience one without the other. Parts Work (IFS) helps create compassion for protective patterns instead of fighting against them. Nothing truly heals through judgment—acceptance creates space for transformation. How to Deepen the Work Notice when fear shows up, and gently ask yourself, "Which part of me is speaking right now?" Practice separating your identity from your anxious thoughts: "This is a part of me, not all of me." Explore Parts Work or Internal Family Systems with a trained practitioner if this approach resonates. Allow yourself to fully experience love without assuming fear must always accompany it.

This week we're discussing Who Are Safe People?. When you're parenting on your own, the question of who to trust carries a lot of weight. You want connection. You need it. But after being hurt or let down, it's hard to know how much to share, how fast to move, or whether your read on someone is accurate or just wishful thinking. Most of us have let someone in before they'd really earned it. And most of us have paid for that in some way. In this episode, Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, sits down with Elizabeth Cole, single parent, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and single parent, to talk through what it actually looks like to identify safe people, build trust slowly, and become the kind of person others can feel safe with too. Key Insights from This Episode: Trust is built by reliability over time, not first impressions. Watching someone show up consistently across different situations is the only real way to know if they're safe. Loneliness and exhaustion lower your guard, and that's not a flaw, it's human. Understanding what's driving your need for connection helps you move toward people thoughtfully rather than reactively. To find safe people, you have to become one. Developing your own capacity for safety, presence without judgment, reliability, and the ability to make repair, is what makes you able to recognize it in others. Whether you're navigating new friendships, dating, or even professional relationships, the challenges single parents face around trust are real and specific. This conversation addresses some of the most common ones. Join Us Live: We're continuing this conversation in a free live webinar on Sunday, July 19th at 7:00 PM Central.

Healthcare Is Dead Last in Recognition Culture. Plus: AI That Predicts Who's About to Quit & What CEOs Are Betting On in 2026July 6th, 2026. Bo, Luke, and ASHHRA Executive Director Jeremy Sadlier are back from the long weekend with a deliberately positive episode — three stories built to give you energy heading into the week.

Burnout and Authenticity: Elizabeth Rosenberg's Intuitive PR StrategyAnika sat down with Elizabeth to explore why the most credible leaders aren't the most polished ones—they're the most present ones. The conversation revealed a counterintuitive truth: as AI automates expertise, human traits like intuition, vulnerability, and emotional intelligence become your competitive advantage. Elizabeth's dual background in PR and spiritual practice offered sharp pushback against the "authenticity is risky" narrative, alongside a practical framework for when vulnerability serves your brand (and when it doesn't).In This EpisodeThe origin story of Good Advice Company and why Elizabeth didn't need to find a market gap—she built on what she was already good atComing out of the spiritual closet in 2022 on LinkedIn and why the reaction shocked herThe Soul and Story process: combining Akashic readings, behavioral analytics, and deep story mining for authentic personal brandingWhy 90 male participants showed up to a tarot workshop at Fast Company's Innovation Festival (and what that man learned about his wife)Intuitive intelligence as the antidote to AI-generated mediocrityThe burnout story that terrified her more than admitting she's a spiritual mediumFrom hospital migraine to recognizing burnout looks different for everyone—there's no silver bullet recoveryWhy presence matters more than future-striving in leadershipThe fragmented media landscape and why "unhinged authenticity" (not chaos) is the futureReading the room: the difference between vulnerability and oversharing on LinkedInWhy smaller communities and in-person connection will win over influencer marketingThe Chief Spiritual Officer platform launching in early SeptemberTimestamps00:00 Introduction: Founder of Good Advice Company and Chief Spiritual Officer01:05 Building a company around what you're already good at, not market gaps03:36 Intuitive intelligence as a strategic advantage in the age of AI04:50 Coming out as spiritual on LinkedIn in 2022—and the surprising lack of backlash06:31 The Soul and Story proprietary process: Akashic readings + behavioral data + story mining09:41 The Fast Company Innovation Festival workshop: 90 people, tarot cards, and a man proving his wife right12:10 Male participation in spiritual practices is rising—what that signals14:44 Why AI can't replicate authentic personal branding19:42 The burnout story: hospital, lost motor skills, and the shame that followed22:06 Burnout looks different for everyone—recovery is never one-size-fits-all26:03 Recognizing the signs early and having a supportive boss who lets you name it28:13 Presence as a practice: why "just get through this" mentality kills leadership31:48 The fragmented media landscape and why traditional PR is evolving33:04 "The future is going to be the unhinged people"—original thought vs. algorithmic noise35:51 Why even national media placements don't guarantee new audience reach anymore38:14 Authenticity as strategy: vulnerability builds credibility, not weakness42:16 The oversharing risk: reading the room and trusting your intuition before posting44:06 Why smaller communities matter more than follower counts46:25 Leadership trends: CEOs staying silent, new industries emerging, the management skills crisis48:49 Chief Spiritual Officer platform: launching early September with significant iteration49:30 Favorite quote from Maya Angelou: "You're the funniest person you've ever met"Key Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Authenticity Isn't Soft—It's StrategicLeaders assume vulnerability signals weakness. The opposite is true. Failure stories, burnout recovery, and admitting what you don't know create the emotional connection that AI-generated content can never replicate. The most credible executives aren't the most polished—they're the most real.Insight 2: Intuitive Intelligence Is a Learnable Skill, Not a GiftPeople assume intuition is innate. Elizabeth reframes it as a skill you develop through practice—whether that's tarot, pendulums, journaling, or walking with loud music. The tool doesn't matter. What matters is creating space to listen to your own knowing instead of defaulting to what AI suggests or what everyone else is doing.Insight 3: Burnout Recovery Is Personalized—There's No ProtocolEveryone's burnout looks different. Elizabeth's was a hospital visit with lost motor skills. Someone else's is quiet resignation. The dangerous myth is that there's a universal fix. Real recovery requires honest diagnosis of your specific burnout, not following someone else's recovery playbook.Insight 4: The Algorithm Doesn't Expand Your Reach AnymoreEven a New York Times feature or national morning show appearance only reaches people already in your orbit. The algorithm filters for familiarity. This means visibility comes from original thought, in-person presence, and smaller communities where trust is built through repeated, authentic interaction—not from chasing big media placements.Insight 5: Read the Room Before You PostVulnerability is powerful, but context matters. Entrepreneurs can afford more candor than executives at Fortune 500 companies. The guardrail: if you're already questioning whether to post something, don't. That hesitation is intuition telling you it's an inside voice, not an outside voice. Text your PR friend instead.Insight 6: Presence Is a Competitive AdvantageLeaders are conditioned to always be striving toward the next goal. Presence—actually being where you are, with the people in front of you—is rare enough to stand out. It's also what prevents burnout. The paradox: being more present makes you more effective, not less.Insight 7: Male Participation in Spiritual Practices Is RisingThe workshop had 50/50 gender split. Elizabeth's client base shifted from 90% women to 60/40 in two years. This signals a cultural shift: men are giving themselves permission to explore intuition, energy work, and spiritual practice without the "woo" stigma. That's a leadership trend worth watching.Insight 8: AI Amplifies What You Already Know About YourselfAI can't tell you who you are. It can only reflect back patterns it's seen before. Real personal branding comes from deep self-knowledge—your origin story, your failures, what actually drives you. That's what Elizabeth mines through the Soul and Story process. AI is a tool for executing that clarity, not discovering it.Resources & Links MentionedGood Advice Company: thegoodadvicecompany.comChief Spiritual Officer Platform (launching early September 2026)Soul and Story Process (proprietary personal branding framework)Brick Phone (technology management tool Elizabeth recommends)About Elizabeth RosenbergElizabeth Rosenberg is the founder of Good Advice Company and Chief Spiritual Officer, a platform destigmatizing spirituality in corporate leadership.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of suicide, the loss of a child, emotional abuse, and narcissistic relationship dynamics. Please care for yourself and listen only if it feels supportive. What do you do when you're grieving the unimaginable... and someone you once trusted continues to cause harm in the aftermath? In this profoundly moving coaching session, Christine sits down with Mary, whose teenage son died by suicide just nine months ago. As she navigates the heartbreaking reality of losing her child, Mary finds herself confronting another devastating challenge: discovering that her ex-husband has publicly misrepresented their son's cause of death while using his memory to promote a charitable foundation. For years, Mary lived in fear of speaking her truth during an emotionally abusive marriage. Now, she's faced with a painful question: Can she find the courage to use her voice—not from anger or revenge, but from love, integrity, and a desire to honor her son's legacy? Together, Christine and Mary explore grief, trauma, narcissistic abuse, reclaiming personal power, and the delicate balance between seeking justice and protecting your own peace. Their conversation is a powerful reminder that healing doesn't require silence—and that telling the truth can be an act of profound love. Whether you've experienced deep loss, struggled to find your voice after an abusive relationship, or wondered how to move forward when life feels unbearably unfair, this episode offers compassion, validation, and hope. Press play to hear a courageous conversation about honoring truth, reclaiming your voice, and allowing both grief and joy to coexist. Consider / Ask Yourself Have you ever stayed silent because you were afraid of someone else's reaction? Do you struggle to trust your own voice after experiencing manipulation or emotional abuse? Are you carrying grief while also trying to rebuild your life? Can you allow yourself to experience moments of joy without feeling guilty? Key Insights and A-Ha's Grief and joy are not opposites—they can exist together. Years of emotional abuse can disconnect you from your own inner knowing. Speaking your truth doesn't require anger; it can come from love and integrity. Healing often begins when we stop abandoning our own voice. You are not responsible for another person's choices, but you are responsible for honoring your own truth. How to Deepen the Work Notice where fear may still be preventing you from expressing your truth. Practice asking yourself, "What feels true for me?" before seeking external validation. Allow yourself to receive support from trusted friends, professionals, or your community. Remember that choosing joy does not diminish your love for someone you've lost.

This week we're discussing From Numbing Out to Living Fully. The end of the day hits differently when you are parenting alone. The kids are down, the house is finally quiet, and instead of feeling relief, there is this hollow weight that settles in. So you reach for something, anything, to take the edge off. A drink, a show, a scroll, something sweet. It does not feel like a problem. It feels like survival. But over time, the things you are leaning on to get through the day start quietly working against you, leaving you more exhausted, more disconnected, and further from the version of yourself you actually want to be. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent and co-host, sit down with Katrina Morriss, a licensed mental health nurse practitioner and single mom who has been part of the Solo Parent community since 2020. Katrina's story is not a tidy before-and-after. It is raw, honest, and the kind of account that makes you feel less alone in your own struggle. Together they walk through what it looks like to recognize the cycle, face the fear of what is on the other side of it, and find your way back to the moments that matter most. Key Insights from This Episode: Numbing and restoring are not the same thing. What feels like relief at the end of a hard day may actually be the thing keeping you stuck in exhaustion. The known hell feels safer than the unknown heaven. Fear of what healing requires keeps more solo parents in the cycle than the pain of staying in it. Presence for your kids is the fuel, not just the goal. The unregrettable moments with your children are what make the hard work of recovery worth sustaining.

How do you know when it's time to let go of a dream… and when it's time to keep holding on? In this deeply moving coaching session, Christine works with Asa, who has spent the last 18 months wrestling with one of the biggest decisions of her life: whether to have a second child. Her heart longs for another baby—for the chance to experience motherhood again, to give her son a sibling, and to hold onto a season of life she isn't ready to say goodbye to. But her reality tells a different story. Between health challenges, stress in her marriage, financial concerns, aging parents, and feeling emotionally depleted, Asa wonders if the loving choice might actually be to let go of the dream. As the conversation unfolds, Christine gently uncovers something even deeper: perhaps the longing for another child isn't only about another baby. Perhaps it's also a longing to nurture the part of herself that never fully got to be a child. Together they explore emotional depletion, inner child healing, motherhood, grief, and why making major life decisions from exhaustion often leads us further away from ourselves. If you've ever felt stuck in indecision, struggled to trust your intuition, or wondered whether you're yearning for something external that's actually pointing you inward, this episode will offer clarity and compassion. Press play to discover why the most important life you may need to nurture right now is your own. Consider / Ask Yourself Is there a major life decision you've been avoiding because you're afraid of making the "wrong" choice? Are you making decisions from a place of depletion or from a place of wholeness? Do you feel responsible for taking care of everyone else while neglecting yourself? What part of you is asking to be nurtured before you take your next big step? Key Insights and A-Ha's Indecision often creates more emotional exhaustion than making a conscious choice. Sometimes the longing for something external points to an unmet need within. Self-mothering is an essential part of healing—especially for caregivers and parents. Emotional depletion makes it difficult to hear your intuition clearly. The most loving decision is often the one that honors your current capacity, not your expectations. How to Deepen the Work Notice where you're trying to force clarity instead of creating the conditions for clarity to emerge. Ask yourself what your inner child truly needs right now—not what you think you "should" be doing. Create space to replenish your physical, emotional, and relational well-being before making major life decisions. Practice offering yourself the same compassion and care you naturally give to others.

How do you break through a swimming plateau when it feels like you've already tried everything? In this episode, I sit down with Sandra Surkamp to discuss her incredible swimming journey—from struggling to swim 25 meters without stopping to swimming comfortably in open water and dropping her pace by nearly 50 seconds per 100 meters. Sandra shares the key lessons she's learned over the last few years, including how revisiting the fundamentals, improving body position, refining her catch, and finding the right coaching cues helped unlock a major breakthrough in her swimming. We also talk about the frustrations that come with progress, why improvements don't always happen in a straight line, and what it takes to make lasting technique changes. Whether you're stuck at a plateau, learning to swim more efficiently, or looking for motivation to keep improving, Sandra's story is packed with valuable insights and practical takeaways. 00:00 Introduction to Sandra's Swimming Journey 01:18 Overcoming Initial Challenges in Swimming 03:24 The Importance of Technique and Coaching 05:48 Experiencing Breakthroughs and New Goals 08:33 Key Insights on Swimming Technique 11:06 The Role of Mindset in Performance 14:42 Navigating Setbacks and Maintaining Progress 18:21 The Value of Video Analysis in Improvement 20:55 Revisiting Basics for Continued Growth 23:43 Current Focus and Future Goals  

This week we're discussing How to Keep Control from Destroying Your Peace. Solo parenting puts you in a position where so much is genuinely outside your control. The other household. The court dates. How your kids are processing things you cannot fully see. And when that much is out of your hands, it is completely natural to tighten your grip on everything else. The schedule. The way the kitchen looks. The outcome of a conversation you have already rehearsed a dozen times. It feels like stability. It feels like you are doing something. But over time, that kind of control does not actually bring peace. It borrows against it. That tension is exactly what this conversation digs into. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, Elizabeth Cole, single parent, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) and single parent, sit down to work through what is really driving the urge to control, why letting go is not the same thing as giving up, and what it looks like in real life to hold things a little more loosely without losing yourself in the process. It is one of those conversations that has a way of naming things you have been feeling but have not quite had the words for. Key Insights from This Episode: Control is often a counterfeit for peace. It mimics stability but quietly works against the peace you are actually looking for. Letting go is not the same as giving up. The shift is from gripping tightly to holding loosely enough to stay present and adapt. "What if" lives in the future; "if only" lives in the past. Real agency only exists in the present, in the one next right step.

What if keeping the peace is actually keeping you from being fully yourself? In this heartfelt and empowering coaching session, Christine works with Emily, who is preparing to release her first book—a deeply personal guide about becoming an intentional, loving grandparent called Don't Skip the Party. But instead of celebration, Emily is met with silence and defensiveness from her mother. As her mom reads the book through the lens of her own regrets and perceived shortcomings, Emily finds herself pulled back into a familiar role: making sure everyone else is okay, even at the expense of her own truth. Together, Christine and Emily unpack one of the most common generational patterns many women carry—the belief that love means managing other people's emotions. The conversation explores boundaries, codependency, family dynamics, and the difference between truth spoken with love versus sacrificing yourself to keep others comfortable. If you've ever felt responsible for a parent's happiness, struggled to set loving boundaries, or found yourself shrinking your truth to avoid upsetting others, this episode will resonate deeply. Press play to discover why letting people have their feelings may be one of the most loving things you can do—for them and for yourself.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you feel responsible for keeping peace within your family? Are you uncomfortable when people are upset with you? Do you soften your truth or hold yourself back to avoid disappointing others? Have you confused love with self-sacrifice?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Love does not require managing another person's emotions. Boundaries are not rejection—they are an act of self-respect and honesty. Protecting people from discomfort can sometimes prevent their growth. Breaking generational patterns means changing your role in the family dynamic—not forcing others to change theirs. Truth and love belong together. One without the other creates imbalance.   How to Deepen the Work Notice where you take responsibility for emotions that don't belong to you. Ask yourself: "Am I being loving—or am I people-pleasing?" Practice allowing others to have their own reactions without rushing to fix them. Reflect on where you can choose truth and love simultaneously.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Featured Sponsor: Peluva Barefoot Shoes Christine shares her experience with Peluva, a minimalist five-toe shoe designed to strengthen the feet, encourage natural movement, and improve overall comfort.

This week we're discussing Making Peace with Our Past with Dr. Dan Allender. Most of us know our story. We could tell it in five minutes if someone asked. But knowing what happened and actually being free from it are two very different things. For a lot of solo parents, the past shows up uninvited, in a sharp reaction that didn't fit the moment, a fear that surfaces when things finally feel calm, a pattern with your kids you swore you'd never repeat. It doesn't mean you haven't tried. It means the trying might need to go a little deeper. And the longer we avoid that, the more the past quietly runs the present. In this conversation, Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent and co-host, sit down with Dr. Dan Allender, a clinical psychologist and author who has spent decades helping people face their stories honestly and find real freedom on the other side. His books The Wounded Heart, The Healing Path, and To Be Told have walked thousands through the hard work of understanding how the past is still shaping the present and what it actually takes to change that. Together they explore why avoidance keeps us stuck, how shame operates and what disarms it, and why grief and anger aren't problems to manage but forces that, held together, can finally move you forward. The conversation is honest, practical, and grounded in real experience from all three voices at the table. Key Insights from This Episode: Ignoring the past doesn't free you. It makes you reactive. The unaddressed past doesn't disappear, it shows up in your parenting, your relationships, and the moments you least expect it. Shame has to be faced, defied, and disarmed with kindness. Running from shame guarantees it follows you, but meeting it with defiance and then gentleness is what actually loosens its grip. Grief and anger belong together. Each one needs the other. Anger without grief hardens you, grief without anger drowns you, but held together they're what actually moves you forward.

Intrinsic motivation, leadership, and extreme performance are at the heart of this podcast episode, where Christof Zürn deconstructs the mental models of exceptional individuals who perform at the top of their fields and also happen to be musicians. This conversation explores the profound links between leading academic scientists and playing historical string instruments - featuring expert research, unique mindsets, and the intense discipline you can leverage as a toolkit for your own path. Meet the Guest: Ralph Meulenbroeks has lived a fascinating, multitrack life. He started his career in physical engineering, researching large-scale solar cells, before pivoting to become a full-time, professional bass and viola da gamba player for ten years - recording 15 albums, winning an Edison award, and touring the world.  Today, he is a full professor of scientific literacy and chairs the Freudenthal Institute at Utrecht University, where he leads 120 highly autonomous academics. Yet, every single morning, his day still starts with meditation and playing his instrument. Key Insights from the Episode The Pressure of the Passion: Discover the unique qualities of the viola da gamba - a historical, fretted relative of the lute family with six or seven strings - and what it feels like to endure the immense psychological pressure of playing the highly exposed solos in Bach's St. Matthew Passion. Tuning In under Pressure: How the intense process of silently tuning highly sensitive gut strings during a 45-minute wait in the St. Matthew Passion translates directly to 'tuning in' to the emotional temperature of a team of academics at the start of a meeting. Redefining Intrinsic Motivation: Why almost everyone misinterprets this term. Ralph explains that true intrinsic motivation means the activity is its own reward - not a means to an end - and why it is an incredibly robust predictor of high performance in teams. Ensemble Forgiveness: Why the ultimate leadership tool is behaving like a classical or free jazz ensemble. When a mistake happens, you cannot point fingers; you must instantly forgive, adapt, and restore the balance together so the audience never notices. The 'No Excuses' Mindset: Why playing a difficult instrument forces a high degree of self-reflection. If a wrong note happens, it is almost always the player and rarely the instrument's fault - a humbling lesson every leader needs to embrace. The Macrobiotic Chord: How a 35-year practice of macrobiotic cooking and balancing Yin and Yang perfectly mirrors the tension and relaxation required to create musical, but also business harmony.

What happens when you finally find the healthy relationship you've always wanted... and your nervous system doesn't know what to do with it? In this deeply compassionate coaching session, Christine works with Sydney, who has found herself in the healthiest and most emotionally supportive relationship of her life. Her partner is stable, trustworthy, and committed—everything she once hoped for. So why does she still feel anxious? Why does part of her still expect abandonment, betrayal, or heartbreak? As the conversation unfolds, Sydney begins to recognize that her fears aren't coming from her current relationship. They're coming from old wounds. Growing up with an emotionally unavailable mother and a father who left, her nervous system learned early that love wasn't safe and connection couldn't be trusted. Now, even though her present-day reality is different, those old protective patterns continue to activate whenever intimacy deepens. Together, Christine and Sydney explore self-abandonment, dissociation, vulnerability, receptivity, and what it truly means to feel safe enough to receive love. If you've ever found yourself pulling away from healthy love, questioning a good relationship, or feeling anxious when things are actually going well, this episode will help you understand why. Press play to discover how old survival strategies may be keeping you from fully receiving the love you've worked so hard to create.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you become anxious when relationships start feeling safe and secure? Do you find yourself expecting abandonment even when there is no evidence something is wrong? Were your emotional needs consistently met as a child? Do you struggle to receive love, support, compliments, affection, or intimacy?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Safe relationships can feel unfamiliar—and therefore unsafe—to a nervous system wired for unpredictability. Self-abandonment often begins when emotional needs go unmet in childhood. Vulnerability is not the same as neediness. Receptivity requires safety, embodiment, and trust. Many anxiety patterns are protective strategies that once served a purpose but are no longer necessary.   How to Deepen the Work Notice when you are reacting from present-day reality versus past experiences. Practice validating your triggers rather than criticizing yourself for having them. Explore ways to reconnect with your body through grounding and nervous system regulation practices. Allow yourself to express and process emotions instead of pushing them away or dissociating from them.   Social Media + Resources:  Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: jill@christinehassler.com — For information on any of my services!

This week we're discussing: Tips for Creating a Peaceful Home Base Most solo parents are not struggling to love their kids well. They are struggling to create the kind of home where that love actually lands. Where kids feel safe, settled, and like they can exhale when they walk through the door. That gap between intention and reality is something almost every solo parent feels but rarely talks about out loud. A peaceful home is not something you either have or you don't. It is something you build, through the way you communicate, the way you listen, and the way you show up on the days when everything feels like too much. And it matters more than most of us realize, because when home feels unpredictable, kids do not just feel unsettled. They start filling the silence with their own story, and that story almost always ends with the same conclusion: something is wrong with me. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, sits down with Elizabeth Cole, a single parent, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and a single parent herself, to talk practically about what it takes to build a peaceful home base. Not a perfect one. A consistent one. Key Insights from This Episode: What you say, and how you say it, changes everything. Kids fill silence with their own story, and that story almost always puts the blame on themselves. Listening well is more powerful than having the right answer. Empathy before action helps you understand what your child actually needs, not just what the situation appears to need. A peaceful home is a slow build, not a single decision. Consistency over time is what creates safety, and safety is what peace is made of.

What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of confidence—but a fear of being seen? In this powerful and emotional coaching session, Christine works with Victoria, who feels called to step into a more authentic and public version of herself through a new creative venture. Although she has already achieved success in her current career, she feels increasingly disconnected from the life she truly wants to be living. The problem isn't a lack of passion. The problem is the overwhelming fear that comes with being visible. As Victoria explores her desire to become a content creator and inspire women to build their dream lives, deeper layers begin to emerge. Childhood criticism, perfectionism, fear of judgment, and the pressure to "get it right" have all created an internal protector that would rather keep her safe than allow her to be fully expressed. Together, Christine and Victoria uncover how growing up in a highly critical environment taught her to hide parts of herself in order to avoid conflict, judgment, and rejection. Now, as she prepares to share her voice more publicly, those same protective patterns are resurfacing. If you've ever felt called to something bigger but found yourself procrastinating, shrinking back, or questioning your worth, this episode will help you understand why—and what it takes to move forward anyway. Press play to discover how fear of criticism may be keeping you from the freedom, fulfillment, and authenticity you truly desire.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you hold yourself back because you fear what others might think? Did you grow up in a household where criticism, correction, or high expectations were common? Do you feel called to share more of yourself but find yourself procrastinating or avoiding visibility? Are you living from authenticity—or from a strategy designed to avoid judgment?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Perfectionism is often a survival strategy developed in response to criticism. Fear of being seen can create "invisibility blocks" that limit authentic expression. Many people spend more energy avoiding criticism than pursuing what they truly want. Authenticity often requires grieving the identity you built to stay safe. Freedom comes not from being perfect—but from allowing yourself to be fully seen.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on how criticism shaped your relationship with visibility and self-expression. Notice where you are seeking safety through perfection rather than authenticity. Ask yourself: "What would I do if I wasn't afraid of being judged?" Begin practicing self-expression in small ways, even when discomfort arises.   Resource Mentioned in This Episode Inner Child Course Christine references her evergreen Inner Child program, designed to help people rewire childhood conditioning, heal protective patterns, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

Starting a house church can be a rewarding experience, offering a unique opportunity to connect with others on a deeper level. In this video, Jesse Reeves of King's Porch, explores the essential steps and considerations for establishing your own house church.

Jesse Reeves - award-winning songwriter ("Speak Jesus") and worship leader - shares his radical shift from touring with Chris Tomlin to the front lines of a house church movement. After years on staff at Passion City and The Austin Stone, Jesse took a God-ordained "sabbatical" that led him to a startling realization: We have more Christian resources than ever, yet fewer people coming to know Christ.Discover the rhythm of King's Porch, where the "Jesus Stories" practice turned awkward silence into a culture of evangelism. Jesse breaks down the history of the "clergy-laity divide" and explains why every Christian - from realtors to car salesmen - is called to be a royal priest in their own neighborhood.

This week we're discussing Surviving Summer Chaos The school year gives solo parents a framework that helps them survive. The routines, the schedules, the predictable rhythm that makes life feel manageable. Then summer arrives and all of it shifts, fast. The magic of the season is real, but so is the pressure. Work does not slow down. The bills do not pause. And suddenly you are expected to hold everything together with more people in the house, less structure, and the quiet weight of doing it all on your own. In this episode, Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent, are joined by Marissa Lee, author and single parent, for a practical and honest conversation about navigating summer as a solo parent. Together they dig into the real challenges of the season and share what has actually worked in their own homes. Key Insights from This Episode: Structure is not a punishment for summer, it is a gift you give your kid. Simple daily rhythms, built with your child's input, can make the whole season more manageable for everyone. Letting go of control is a parenting skill that has to be practiced gradually. Summer is a natural proving ground for giving older kids more independence before you are forced to do it all at once. The best summer memories do not require money. They require presence, a little creativity, and the willingness to show up even when you are tired.

Wholesome entertainment that deals authentically with real life and honors God can feel almost impossible to find. Where can Christian parents turn for stories that inspire, edify, and wrestle with tough issues—without sacrificing biblical truth? Catherine welcomes acclaimed author Felicia Ferguson, whose award-winning women’s fiction is making waves for all the right reasons. Felicia, who holds master’s degrees in health care administration and speech language pathology, writes novels featuring strong female characters who face trauma, tragedy, and real-world dilemmas—always anchored by Christian faith and ethical choices. Together, they discuss how fiction can model kingdom impact, spark empathy, and equip Christians of all ages to handle adversity with faith. Felicia Ferguson reveals the inspiration behind her latest works, including "When Secrets Come Calling" and "The Choices She Made." She shares how her own professional and personal experiences—like navigating the loss of a parent or working with dementia patients—inspire her realistic, hope-filled storylines. Key Insights & HighlightsWrestling with Trauma through Faith Felicia's characters don’t avoid pain or gloss over difficult situations—like sexual assault, family secrets, or dementia. Instead, they walk through the challenges, lean into God, and make decisions rooted in biblical principles. The Power of Redemptive Fiction As Catherine notes, many Christian entertainment options simply sanitize secular stories without offering real answers or hope. In contrast, Felicia Ferguson’s novels show what it looks like to grieve, heal, and find identity in Christ—even if life doesn’t tie up with a pretty bow.

Welcome to another insightful episode of Build a Better Agency! This time, host Drew McLellan teams up once again with research partner Susan Baier from Audience Audit to unpack the findings from the highly anticipated 2026 Agency EDGE study. Together, they examine how AI is impacting agencies and, more importantly, the shifting expectations and priorities of agency clients in this rapidly changing landscape. Drew and Susan discuss how clients' attitudes toward AI have evolved dramatically over the past year. Gone are the days of uncertainty and secrecy—now, clients expect agencies to be transparent about their use of AI and, even more significantly, to serve as strategic guides and governance partners in the age of automation. The conversation explores three core client segments that have emerged: strategic stewards prioritizing brand protection, adaptive accelerators seeking innovation at speed, and performance pragmatists laser-focused on measurable outcomes. You'll hear why differentiation is more important than ever for agencies, especially as client expectations for sophisticated strategy, proactive guidance, and data-driven decision-making continue to rise. The hosts also highlight new business opportunities for agencies willing to lead on AI adoption, particularly in providing governance and integrating technology across the buyer's journey. If you want to understand what clients truly value today—and how your agency can step up to claim a central, irreplaceable role—this episode is essential listening. Packed with actionable insights, it's a must for any agency leader eager to thrive in the AI era and beyond. A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

What if your dating anxiety isn't actually about the person you're dating? In this deeply validating and eye-opening coaching session, Christine works with Rebecca, who experiences intense anxiety, panic attacks, hypervigilance, and worst-case-scenario thinking whenever dating begins to feel emotionally significant. As relationships move beyond the casual stage, Rebecca finds herself constantly scanning for danger—analyzing every response, questioning whether she can trust the person, and struggling to feel safe enough to relax into connection. But as Christine gently uncovers the deeper root, it becomes clear: this isn't really about dating. It's about a nervous system that was wired for survival in childhood. Growing up with an alcoholic mother and a bipolar father, Rebecca learned early that safety depended on staying hyper-aware, emotionally prepared, and constantly scanning for potential threats. Now, even healthy intimacy activates the same survival patterns her nervous system once needed to survive. Together, they explore the difference between fear and true desire, how childhood programming impacts adult relationships, and why compassion—not self-criticism—is the key to nervous system healing. If you've ever questioned your reactions in dating, wondered why intimacy feels so activating, or tried to "logic" your way out of anxiety, this episode will help you understand yourself on a much deeper level. Press play to learn why your nervous system may be protecting you from a past that's already over—and how compassion can begin to change everything. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you become hypervigilant or anxious once dating starts feeling emotionally significant? Are you constantly scanning for red flags or worst-case scenarios in relationships? Do you struggle to tell the difference between fear and intuition? Are you trying to "think" your way out of nervous system activation instead of compassionately supporting yourself through it? Key Insights and A-Ha's Hypervigilance is often a survival response learned in childhood—not proof something is wrong now. A nervous system wired for instability can interpret intimacy as danger. Logic and reassurance rarely regulate fear-based nervous system patterns. Compassion and validation create more healing than self-criticism or over-analysis. Healing begins when we stop fighting our reactions and start understanding them. How to Deepen the Work Notice when your nervous system shifts into scanning, bracing, or worst-case-scenario thinking. Practice validating your feelings instead of immediately trying to fix or explain them. Ask yourself: "Is this decision coming from fear or from truth?" Spend intentional time reconnecting with your inner child and nervous system safety.

This week we're discussing Overcoming Toxic Thoughts. Most solo parents are not struggling because they are doing too little. They are struggling because the voice in their head will not let them believe what they are doing is enough. It is there before the day even starts, in the moment you realize you are the only one holding all of it together. It shows up when a hard conversation with your teenager goes sideways and you have no one to debrief with after. It is there when you are grieving a partner you lost and trying to keep things steady for kids who are grieving too. It surfaces when a grown child calls struggling and you wonder, quietly, if something you did years ago is the reason why. It is there at the end of a long day when the plan fell apart, the patience ran out, and the mental replay begins. Every misstep. Every thing left undone. Every version of yourself you think you are supposed to be but cannot quite reach. That voice sounds like fact. It has been running so long it feels like your own. But it is not. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent and co-host, bring in Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking and host of the podcast All It Takes Is a Goal, for a conversation that is equal parts practical and freeing. Jon has spent over a decade studying the repetitive thoughts that quietly run our lives, where they come from, how to spot the ones that are lying to us, and what it actually takes to replace them. Whether you are parenting through loss, navigating life after divorce, or building your family on your own terms, and whether your kids are still small or grown and finding their footing, the internal noise of doing this without a partner is real. This conversation goes there. Key Insights from This Episode: Your Broken Soundtracks Have a Source. The repetitive thoughts holding you back did not appear out of nowhere, and knowing where they came from is the first move toward changing them. There Is a Three-Question Test to Tell Real Concerns from Toxic Overthinking. Not every hard thought is a lie, but there is a simple way to tell the difference between what is true and what is just loud. New Seasons Deserve New Scorecards. Measuring this chapter of your life against a different one is one of the quietest ways solo parents keep themselves stuck.

2026-05-24 Remember His Compassionby Pastor Chris Berg Scripture Reference: Mark 6:30-5630 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it's already very late. 36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.”They said to him, “That would take more than half a year's wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.”When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.47 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.” 51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.Notes, outline and a summary from this sermon are made by Pocket AI and found here:Sermon Summary: The Compassionate Shepherd (Mark 6:30–56)Executive Brief This teaching examines five distinct actions of Jesus in Mark 6, arguing that they are unified by a single motivation: compassion. By analyzing these events through the lens of Old Testament typology—specifically the "Sheep and Shepherd" imagery in Ezekiel and Zechariah—the sermon establishes Jesus as the promised, singular Shepherd who provides rest, teaching, and security to his people.Key InsightsThe Five Actions:Providing a Secluded Retreat: Jesus recognizes the disciples' need to decompress after ministry, emphasizing that rest is a necessary component of mission.Teaching the Crowd: Despite seeking solitude, Jesus is moved by compassion for the people who are "sheep without a shepherd" and prioritizes their spiritual hunger.Feeding the 5,000: Jesus demonstrates his authority and identity as the promised Messiah who feeds his flock, fulfilling the covenant of peace.Calming Fear (Walking on Water): The focus is not the miracle of walking on water, but Jesus' intervention to alleviate the disciples' terror, revealing their hardened hearts and lack of understanding regarding his identity.Healing the Desperate: Jesus responds to the desperate pleas of those in Gennesaret, demonstrating his ongoing care for the physical and spiritual needs of his own.Theological Thesis: The disciples' failure to understand Jesus' authority (as seen in their astonishment at his walking on water) stems from a "hardened heart" and a failure to apply the lessons of the loaves. True biblical worldview requires active application of Scripture; without it, understanding is lost.Nuance & FrictionThe "Hard Heart" Warning: The sermon challenges the congregation to avoid the disciples' mistake of witnessing divine power without internalizing its significance. It warns that neglecting the Word of God leads to a loss of spiritual understanding.Dependence vs. Dignity: A core tension identified is the human desire for dignity over dependence. The sermon argues that true spiritual health requires acknowledging our need for the Shepherd, even when it feels undignified or desperate.The Reality of Trials: Addressing the "ain't nothing easy" nature of life, the sermon posits that trials are not evidence of abandonment but are the crucible for character, maturity, and completeness in Christ.Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

What happens when you've done the healing, broken the patterns, and still haven't found your person? In this deeply validating and emotionally rich coaching session, Christine works with Rachel, who is navigating life as a single woman in her late 30s after leaving an emotionally abusive relationship. Rachel has done years of deep inner work, including healing childhood wounds, rebuilding her self-worth, and learning how to date from discernment instead of desperation. But despite all that growth, she finds herself asking a painful question many conscious women quietly carry: "I've done the work… so where is my person?" Together, Christine and Rachel unpack the pressure, grief, and cultural conditioning that often surrounds being single later in life—especially for women who refuse to settle and are committed to breaking generational patterns. Christine offers a powerful reframe: perhaps the delay isn't punishment or proof something is wrong. Perhaps it's evidence that Rachel has truly completed an old karmic pattern and is no longer available for unhealthy love. This episode is an invitation to stop viewing yourself as "behind" and start recognizing the profound growth and discernment that conscious partnership actually requires. If you've ever felt discouraged in your dating journey, questioned your timing, or feared it may never happen for you, this conversation will meet you with compassion, truth, and hope. Press play to reconnect with your embodied wisdom—and remember that longing does not have to become suffering.    Consider / Ask Yourself Are you viewing your relationship status through cultural conditioning or through your own truth? Have you mistaken being unpartnered for being "behind" in life? Are you truly honoring how much healing and integration you've already completed? Can you stay connected to your longing for partnership without creating suffering around it?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Conscious women often delay partnership because they refuse to repeat generational patterns. Longing for partnership is not weakness—it can be a deep intuitive knowing. Healing is not just about processing pain—it's about embodying new truth and discernment. Fear after an abusive relationship can soften through embodied wisdom and self-trust. Much of the suffering around being single comes from cultural narratives rather than reality itself.   How to Deepen the Work Notice when thoughts about being single create unnecessary suffering or urgency. Practice reconnecting with the version of yourself who deeply trusts her discernment. Reflect on the lessons and red flags from past relationships so they become embodied wisdom. Continue nurturing your inner child so longing does not become abandonment.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Be the Queen Live Program Christine shares details about the upcoming live round of her relationship and conscious partnership course designed for women calling in healthy, aligned love.

Rolando never could have predicted that a college computer, a printer, and an old school wall phone in his kitchen would lead him down the path of entrepreneurship. But that's exactly how it happened. In 2002, he founded Global Tech Worldwide with the goal of making it easy for businesses to use the right office technologies for better and frictionless customer interactions that help businesses elevate their customer interactions and turn them into rich, meaningful discussions. Fast forward to today, and after spending ten years selling on Amazon, he is on his third startup circuit. Com because he was frustrated with the lack of transparency and outdated methods of buying broadband, wireless and fiber internet for small and medium sized businesses. So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Rolando.Rolando 00:00:53  Woo! Woo woo woo woo. Woo woo. Let me try. Let me try.Josh 00:00:56  Hey, there you go. Hey.Rolando 00:00:57  There we go.Josh 00:00:58  You got the audio work?Rolando 00:00:59  I got it, I got it I got him to work.Josh 00:01:02  Rolando has his own podcast and we recorded an episode last week I was on, I was in the reverse side. I was the guest there. And that I told you, Rolando, I love the sound effects that you have going on in your podcast.Rolando 00:01:15  You know what? I'm here. You know what? Go get a stream deck, go get it and call me, and I'll help you set it up. Because it took me a while. I left it in the box for quite some time before I actually started using it, because I was a little intimidated. I'm not an Avi guy or anything like that, but, you know, I was like, all right, let me add one, two, three. And I was like, ooh. And now I've got a couple of those buttons set up for it.Josh 00:01:38  I love it, I love it. All right, Rolando, there's another really wicked smart strategy that I want you to share with our audience that you shared with me prior to hitting the record button.Josh 00:01:48  And this is your amazing PPC strategy that I have never heard anybody else talk about this other than yourself. everybody's always heard of de parting, right? And that's kind of the new hot PPC term, but this isn't Dave Harding. This is something, I think, even more intelligent than what De parting is. So I've laid out the red carpet for you there, Rolando. Give us the gold nugget.Rolando 00:02:13  Yeah, right. So de parting is just simply ad scheduling. You know, run an ad on a schedule. Nothing new there. But what if. Chad. Chad, I was just talking to Chad. What if Josh. We could map or have ads show up when we have our ideal customers on Amazon? How can we do that? Can we pull it off? And can we save money while we're doing that? That's really what we wanted to find out. Turns out there is a way to do it. Not easy, not clean. But there was. So we went and pulled data from our orders for 12 months, and we used, Seller Labs product that they have or service that's called Data Hub.Rolando 00:02:59  and it pulled in all that data, right? It's our own data. So we didn't have to do all these crazy reports from Amazon. Pulled it all in. Once they pulled that in I said, wait a minute, guys. I'm not a mathematician here. This is just a spreadsheet with a bunch of numbers. Can we do something better? So then we put together something that anybody could easily use in the organization. We put together a heat map so that you can visually see the data. And, you know, dark green means good, red is bad. And guess what? We found golden hours every day of the week. Also golden months also patterns within those months. For example summertime for our products which are mostly office related products. After 4 p.m. on a Friday, we've virtually had no orders on the summer months. So if I'm a betting man, Why would I run PPC after 4 p.m. if we're not getting any orders? Another one was when? on the weekends, you hear people say this all the time.Rolando 00:04:12  And now that I have the data for our stuff, I know it's totally wrong. You got to run ads on Saturday and Sunday because people browse Saturday and Sunday and buy on Monday. The evidence does not hold that up in our case, because in our case, most of our activity, nearly 85 to 90% of the purchases c...

You Can't See the Diamonds at Your Feet   You've built the business. Hit the numbers. Earned the respect. So why does something still feel like it's missing? This episode doesn't offer a quick fix. It offers something rarer: an honest diagnosis from someone who has spent decades inside physics, entrepreneurship, mountain climbing, and the therapy room, and who keeps arriving at the same uncomfortable conclusion. Most high achievers aren't lacking success. They're lacking awareness.    In This Episode:  Why Lincoln views money as a resource, never a scarce one, and how that shaped a life driven by value over accumulation  The spectrum between sanity and insanity, and why the ability to communicate is what actually separates them  How our education system was designed to socialize and economize, not to teach fulfillment  What it means to have diamonds at your feet and not be able to see them  The commoditization of psychedelics and why Lincoln has grown disillusioned with the trend  Creativity as the essential bridge between material success and genuine spiritual depth  Why what looks like a small adjustment to you might be a seismic shift for the person you're trying to help    Key Insights:  Awareness is the root of everything. Lincoln returns to this word throughout the conversation. Before you can change anything, you have to honestly reckon with what you're actually doing and what role you're playing in the life you have.  Creativity is the bridge to spirit. Lincoln argues that spirituality cannot simply be added to a rational or achievement-driven life, but creativity can. And from creativity, beauty follows, and from beauty, something genuinely transcendent becomes reachable.  Negative mentors are as valuable as positive ones. Lincoln has had a handful of truly good mentors and hundreds of bad ones. He considers both equally instructive, and has long wanted to write a book about learning from failure and from people who get it wrong.  A small adjustment to you may be a seismic shift for someone else. This reframe alone is worth the listen. It explains so much of why people appear stuck even when the path forward seems obvious from the outside.  Legacy is the real measure. When asked what truth about success he wishes more people understood, Lincoln's answer was simple and arresting: you're going to die, and you're going to be left with your legacy. How do you want to affect people when you're gone?    Money Lessons from Lincoln:  Lincoln Stoller grew up in a household where money was present but never treated as the point. His father made enough that scarcity wasn't the lesson, and so Lincoln absorbed a different one: money is a resource, not a destination. What he came to care about instead was value, the quality of what a thing is actually worth in terms of insight, experience, and growth. "I don't care about quantity of money," he says in this conversation. "I care about quality of value. Hell with money, it's all about value." For anyone who has spent years optimizing for financial outcomes and still feels like something is off, that distinction is not just refreshing. It is diagnostic.    Why This Conversation Matters:   The version of success most high achievers are chasing was designed by someone else. Lincoln traces it back directly, to an education system built in 19th-century Prussia to prepare people for industrial participation, not personal fulfillment. The result is a culture full of people who have met every grade, hit every milestone, and built identities that feel hollow from the inside. Lincoln has watched it play out in his therapy practice for years. He watched it play out among his high school peers, some of whom achieved everything the system asked of them and later took their own lives. This is not a conversation about working harder or optimizing better. It is a conversation about whether the thing you are working toward is actually yours.    About Lincoln Stoller:  He combines science, spirit, economics, and mental health through an understanding of the hard sciences, the psyche, and the behavior of groups. He is trained and practice as an independent physicist publishing on topics in fundamental quantum mechanics, a past computer software entrepreneur in business automation, and now a professional psychotherapist.  He began traveling across the US as a kid, assisting his father, an architectural photographer. Then he took up mountaineering, exploring wild lands on four continents, from the tropics to the Arctic. His graduate studies took him to six universities, during which time he traveled widely and became an ambassador to families in the Caribbean and Mongolia.  As a counselor, he works with people on both the high and low ends of the spectrum using brain retraining, talk therapy, hypnosis, diet, somatic experience, and psychedelics. On the high end, he's a coach; on the low end, he's a therapist. He inverts these by making the able more aware of their disabilities, and the disabled more aware of their abilities.  As a blogger, podcaster, and author, he publishes regularly on topics brought to him by his connections in work, physics, his teenage son, and reflections he sees in society. His emphasis is on getting people to think more deeply, become more self-aware, and to embrace radically different points of view.  He is not an academic, not the usual therapist, and he rails against anything institutional. To evolve requires leaving everything behind, including the mind he has grown up with.    Links:  Website: https://www.mindstrengthbalance.com/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lincolnstoller/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lincolnstoller/     Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul  Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

This week we're discussing Helping Our Kids Grow Through Challenges. Most solo parents spend a lot of energy learning how to survive their own hard seasons. But at some point, almost every solo parent faces a different kind of challenge: watching their kids go through something painful and not knowing how to actually help. Not just show up, but show up well. The instinct most of us bring to that moment is to do something. Fix it, explain it, or find the resource that finally makes it better. And more often than not, that instinct gets in the way. What kids need from their parents in hard seasons is rarely what we expect. It's usually quieter, slower, and less about having the right answer than we'd like. And for solo parents who are already carrying their own grief or transition while trying to hold things together for their kids, learning to offer that kind of presence is a real and ongoing challenge. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent, sit down with pastor, author, and co-founder of For Girls Like You Ministries Jonathan Pitts, and his oldest daughter Alena Pitts Franklin. Jonathan became a solo parent to four daughters in 2018 after his wife Wynter passed away suddenly. Alena, his oldest, shares her perspective on those same years now as an adult and author of the devotional God Is: 60 Days of Learning Who God Is to Understand Who We Are. Together they offer an honest look at what kids actually need from their parents in hard seasons, what it means to grow alongside your children emotionally, and how to trust that God is working in your child's story even when you can't see it. Key Insights from This Episode: Presence, not answers, is what children in hard seasons actually need from their parents. Sitting with your child in their pain, without rushing to fix it, communicates something words rarely can. You don't have to be emotionally healed to parent your kids through their healing. Shared humanity isn't a parenting weakness. It builds the kind of trust that holds through the hardest seasons. God is not absent from your children's story just because you can't control their outcome. He works through people and circumstances you didn't plan, and your kids are not solely dependent on you to find their way through.

Redefining Healthcare Through Relationships, Purpose, and Personalized Care with Dr. Stevi Jenkins-KellyGuest: Dr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly, PharmD, Founder of My Concierge Pharmacy Host: Julie RigaWhat if your pharmacist knew your name, your goals, and your complete health story rather than just your prescription number? In this episode, Julie Riga sits down with Dr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly, a visionary pharmacist and founder of My Concierge Pharmacy. Together they explore how she left corporate pharmacy to build something new, a practice grounded in personalized service, trust, and a whole-patient approach to wellness. If you have ever felt like just a number in the system, this episode will inspire you to lead with more intention in your own work and life.Redefining Healthcare Through Relationships, Purpose, and Personalized CareAbout the GuestDr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly is a licensed pharmacist with over 25 years of experience, including time at major chains such as CVS and Publix. She founded My Concierge Pharmacy in West Palm Beach, Florida after finding that most systems are built for volume, not genuine patient care. Her practice is completely independent, self-trademarked, and rooted in one guiding principle: pharmacy as a relationship, not a transaction.She holds advanced certifications in diabetes care and collaborative practice and specializes in medication management, chronic disease support, and preventative health. She serves patients across Florida and Pennsylvania, with direct delivery and personalized consultations at every stage of life.Fun Fact: Dr. Stevi loves salmon in every form. Lox and bagels with capers and onions is her absolute go-to.The Three Ingredients for Concierge Success1. Service as a Foundation True service is never transactional. Dr. Stevi built her team culture around being service-minded at every level. When you are moving a patient out of a system that has failed them, you must become the new definition of what great care looks like.2. Trust Through Follow-Through Trust is built by doing what you say you will do, every single time. My Concierge Pharmacy proactively manages patient profiles, coordinates with providers, and connects with each patient a minimum of six times per year. Patients soon find they do not need to chase anyone because someone is consistently and genuinely watching over their care.3. Customization That Feels Personal Concierge care is never cookie-cutter. Whether the patient is a parent preparing for summer, an elderly person managing chronic illness, or a performance athlete focused on longevity, every care plan is built specifically around that individual. Intentional personalization is what sets real concierge care apart from everything else.Key Insights from This EpisodePharmacists are trained in anatomy, biochemistry, and treatment protocol, making them the chemistry and treatment counterpart to a physician's diagnostic approach. Most patients never access this full depth of knowledge because corporate environments do not allow for it. Concierge pharmacy is changing that reality.Dr. Stevi also applies a micro-therapy model, focusing on one health challenge at a time rather than overwhelming patients with everything at once. This approach builds clarity, confidence, and a genuine sense of control over personal health, growth, and life balance.Connect with Dr. Stevi Jenkins-KellyWebsite: www.myconciergepharmacy.com Book a consult to explore whether concierge pharmacy is right for you.

In this episode of The Full Arch Podcast, Dr. Steven Vorholt sits down with Dr. Kyle Stanley to discuss burnout, complications, difficult patient conversations, and the mental pressure behind full-arch dentistry. The episode explores how communication, boundaries, and sustainable growth play a major role in long-term success as a clinician. Dr. Stanley shares insights on managing expectations, handling complications, avoiding burnout, and why taking care of yourself outside the practice directly impacts performance inside it. The conversation also dives into patient psychology and the emotional realities many dentists experience but rarely talk about. Key Insights:

What if your biggest money block has nothing to do with money? In this deeply insightful and empowering coaching session, Christine works with Karishma, a trauma-informed relationship coach who feels torn between following her purpose and contributing financially to her family in a more traditional way. Even though Karishma loves her work and knows she's helping people transform their lives, she struggles with inconsistent income, self-doubt, and the pressure to prove she can "make it" as an entrepreneur. But as the conversation unfolds, Christine uncovers something much deeper: a childhood belief formed at just six years old that still shapes how Karishma sees her capabilities today. Together they explore how early experiences around intelligence, performance, and worth can quietly sabotage confidence in adulthood—even when someone is deeply gifted and aligned with their purpose. Christine also offers a refreshing and nuanced conversation around feminine energy, contribution, entrepreneurship, accessibility, and what it truly means to be an "independent woman." If you've ever struggled to monetize your gifts, doubted your abilities, or felt conflicted between purpose and financial security, this episode will deeply resonate. Press play to discover why your purpose may not be the problem—and how old beliefs could be blocking the abundance you're meant to receive.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you feel deeply aligned with your purpose but financially stuck? Are old beliefs about intelligence, capability, or worth affecting your confidence? Do you feel pressure to prove your value through income or productivity? Are you trying to fit yourself into a version of success that doesn't actually align with your soul?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Purpose-driven work and entrepreneurship require very different skill sets. Childhood experiences around failure or "not being good enough" can shape adult money beliefs. Neurodivergence can impact confidence, communication, and traditional ideas of success. Contribution isn't measured solely by income or productivity. Feminine magnetism grows when we align with authenticity, purpose, and service—not pressure and proving.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on the earliest memories connected to feeling "not capable" or "not smart enough." Notice where you may be measuring your worth through financial contribution alone. Reconnect with the deeper mission and purpose behind your work. Explore ways to simplify your business so you can spend more time in your zone of genius.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Kaizen Coffee + Electrolytes Christine shares her favorite mold-tested coffee and electrolyte company.

You Hit Every Goal. So, Why Does It Feel Empty?   What happens when you build everything you were told to want and still feel empty? Jim Sabellico found out the hard way. In this episode of Richer Soul, Jim sits down with Rocky Lalvani to share the raw, honest story behind his No Half Cakes philosophy and why he believes most high achievers are winning at the wrong game entirely.    In This Episode:  Jim shares the moment that cracked everything open: coming home at 8:45 at night on his son's sixth birthday to find a half-eaten cake on the counter, a exhausted wife, and the gut-punch realization that despite building multiple 7- and 8-figure businesses, he barely knew his own family and was in the worst physical shape of his life.  He walks through what the rebuilding process actually looked like, including weeks of misplaced anger, finding a mentor, and how COVID's forced lockdown became an unexpected accelerator for the changes he had already started making in his personal and professional life.  Jim breaks down his current definition of success, the ability to bring joy into a difficult situation, and explains exactly why he chose a definition that is entirely internal and cannot be measured by possessions, achievements, or anyone else's opinion.  He introduces his book series starting with Show Up More, a 28-day guide to stepping into your authentic self, and explains the six slices of cake framework covering spiritual, financial, emotional, relational, professional, and physical health that forms the backbone of his work with entrepreneurs.  Jim and Rocky dig into the Profit First mindset shift that changed how Jim runs his businesses, moving from a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants revenue mentality to one where profitability is a design principle, not a monthly hope, and how that shift made it possible for him to actually step back and show up in his own life.    Key Insights:  The scoreboard lies. Jim built multiple 7- and 8-figure businesses, had the nice car, the nice house, and all the traditional markers of success, and still walked into a room on his son's birthday feeling like he had failed at everything that actually mattered. Success defined by possessions and revenue is a standard set by other people, and it will never feel like enough because it was never yours to begin with.  Anger is often just a disconnection from your authentic self. In the weeks after his wake-up call, Jim was furious at everyone around him before he realized the anger had nothing to do with them. When you spend years performing a version of yourself that is not aligned with who you actually are, the frustration builds until something forces you to stop and look honestly at what you have been doing.  You cannot just generate your way to financial freedom. For most of his career, Jim's solution to every money problem was simply to make more revenue. Being able to crank that lever at will felt like a superpower, but it kept him from ever building a business that could run without consuming him entirely. The shift to Profit First was less about accounting and more about designing a life where he was no longer trading every waking hour for money.  Feeling seen and heard is the foundation of real change. Jim believes every person has four core needs: to feel loved, appreciated, seen, and heard. When those needs go unmet, people stay stuck in echo chambers, hide behind masks, and avoid any belief that might threaten their sense of identity. Meeting people in those four needs first is what creates enough safety for them to start doing the real work.  Purpose-driven businesses outperform profit-driven ones. When Jim shifted his company culture from how much can we make to how do we show up as the best version of ourselves and leave everyone we touch better than we found them, he expected to lose ground. Instead, every one of his businesses began performing better than before, with him working significantly less. Alignment, it turns out, is not just good for the soul. It is good for the bottom line.    The Money Lesson from Jim:  For most of his entrepreneurial life, Jim's relationship with money was built on a simple and seductive belief: if you need more money, go make more money. He was extraordinarily good at generating revenue, whether it was cutting grass at eight, selling ringtone installs in high school, or scaling businesses into 7- and 8-figure territory as an adult. That ability became his identity. But as Jim explains in this conversation, the problem with being able to crank the revenue lever at will is that it makes profitability feel optional. You never have to get your financial house in order because you can always just earn more. The Profit First framework helped Jim shift out of that mentality entirely. Instead of generating revenue and hoping profit showed up at the end of the month, he began designing his businesses so that profitability was the first priority, not the last. That shift was not just financial. It was the thing that made it possible for Jim to stop trading his time for money, to step back from the day-to-day grind, and to actually show up in his own life. Revenue, he learned, is a midpoint. What you actually keep, and how you build a business that runs without consuming you, is the real goal.    Why This Conversation Matters:  There is no shortage of entrepreneurial success stories, but most of them stop at the revenue number. Jim Sabellico's story goes somewhere most people are not willing to go publicly: the moment he realized the scoreboard had been lying to him for years. The half-eaten birthday cake on the counter, the wife he barely knew, the kids he had been too busy to be present for, and the physical health he had completely neglected were not the result of failure. They were the result of succeeding at the wrong things for a very long time. What makes this conversation so valuable is that Jim does not frame his story as a cautionary tale about money. He frames it as a story about identity. He had built his entire sense of self around being the guy who could make money, and when that identity started to crack, the anger and confusion that followed were not really about the business at all. They were about a man who had to figure out who he actually was when you took the revenue away. For any entrepreneur, high achiever, or driven professional who has ever felt successful on paper and quietly empty everywhere else, this episode is the conversation you did not know you needed. Jim is not here to tell you to make less money or work less hard. He is here to tell you that you get to define what winning looks like, and that the version of success worth chasing is the one you design for yourself.    About Jim Sabellico:  Jim Sabellico is an entrepreneur, marketing expert, and host of the No Half Cakes podcast. After building multiple 7- and 8-figure businesses, he realized success isn't just about money—it's about creating a life you won't regret later. Now, he helps entrepreneurs redefine success, simplify their growth, and build businesses that align with their purpose. Through real stories and actionable insights, Jim empowers high achievers to take back control of their time, energy, and impact.    Links:  Website: https://nohalfcakes.com/   Podcast: https://podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/1738688624091872e10f36855   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimsabellico/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jsabellico   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimsabellico   X: https://x.com/JimSabellico   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JimSabellico   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jimsabellico   Threads: https://www.threads.com/@jimsabellico?hl=en     Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul  Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

This week we're discussing Getting Out of Our Comfort Zone. Most of us have a version of life we have quietly decided is good enough. Not thriving, maybe, but manageable. And when you are doing this alone, manageable starts to feel like a win. The problem is that manageable has a way of becoming permanent if nobody asks the harder question: is this actually where you want to stay? Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent and co-host, sit down with Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and single parent herself, to get honest about what the comfort zone actually costs and what it looks like to take one step out of it without blowing up the life you have worked hard to build. Key Insights from This Episode Familiar is not the same as free. What feels like stability may actually be avoidance wearing the clothes of comfort. There is a real difference between the growth zone and the panic zone. One stretches you with purpose; the other pushes you past your limits and burns you out. One small step is not a consolation prize. Starting smaller than you think you need to is exactly how lasting growth happens.

Are you doing everything in your relationship… and quietly resenting it? In this incredibly relatable coaching session, Christine works with Melissa, who feels overwhelmed, emotionally triggered, and exhausted from carrying the mental and emotional load in her marriage. Even though she and her husband love each other deeply and have a strong connection, Melissa finds herself stuck in a painful cycle: she over-functions, suppresses her needs, builds resentment, and then reacts emotionally when she feels unsupported. As Christine unpacks the deeper dynamic underneath the conflict, a powerful truth emerges: Melissa isn't just reacting to dishes, chores, or household responsibilities—she's reliving childhood patterns of anxious attachment, people-pleasing, and fear of losing connection. Together they explore the "merging pattern"—a survival strategy where someone over-functions in relationships to maintain harmony and avoid abandonment. Christine helps Melissa see that true healing isn't about controlling someone else's behavior—it's about learning how to advocate for your needs without collapsing into fear, guilt, or resentment. If you've ever felt like the emotional manager of your relationship, or you struggle to ask for support without feeling guilty, this episode will hit home. Press play to learn how over-functioning may be keeping you stuck—and how to start creating healthier relationship dynamics.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you constantly feel responsible for everyone else's needs and emotions? Are you over-functioning in your relationship while your partner under-functions? Do you avoid speaking up because you fear conflict or disconnection? Are you building resentment because your needs aren't being clearly expressed or supported?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Over-functioning is often a childhood survival strategy rooted in anxious attachment. Resentment builds when one partner consistently carries the emotional and practical load. Advocating for your needs is not selfish—it's essential for healthy relationships. Clear agreements and boundaries reduce emotional chaos and confusion. Healing requires tolerating discomfort instead of rescuing, fixing, or enabling.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on where you may be over-functioning in your relationships. Practice identifying your actual needs before resentment builds. Create clear agreements and responsibilities within your household or partnerships. Notice when your nervous system interprets conflict as danger—and gently re-regulate before reacting.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Group Coaching Call: Understanding Your Survival Strategies Christine shares details about her live coaching workshop focused on identifying the five core survival strategies and learning how to shift unhealthy relational patterns.

You're Not in Charge: What Ayahuasca Teaches High Achievers   You have done the work. Built the business. Hit the goals. So why does something still feel off? For high achievers and entrepreneurs, the hardest realization is not that something is broken. It is that the very skill that built everything, your need to control, might be the thing standing between you and what you are actually searching for.  In this episode, Rocky sits down with Yasha Shah, founder of Mahadevi Ayahuasca Retreat in Colombia, to explore why so many driven, successful people are turning to plant medicine, what actually happens during and after ceremony, and why the path to deeper meaning requires learning to receive instead of lead.    In This Episode:  Why ayahuasca is not a miracle cure and the reality of layered, ongoing healing  How the need for control becomes the biggest obstacle for entrepreneurs in ceremony  The five archetypes of integration Yasha uses to support people after ayahuasca  The trap of projection and why we instinctively look outward instead of inward  The spiritual and indigenous origins of ayahuasca and why context matters  What "meaning making" is and why it is essential after a psychedelic experience  Who ayahuasca is not for and how to know if you are ready    Key Insights:  The most fulfilling part of healing is not arriving at "healed" but the freedom, joy, and wisdom you cultivate through the process itself.  High achievers spend their lives planning and controlling outcomes, but in ceremony, you are not in charge. You are supposed to be led. Learning to receive is the transformation.  Projection is one of the biggest traps in self-work. The instinct to focus on what others need to fix is often a defense against turning inward.  People are not lacking purpose. Centuries of survival-driven thinking have disconnected us from our bodies and the earth. Many are searching for a return to their original selves.  Not investing in yourself is not saving money. It is the most expensive decision you will ever make.    Money Lesson from Yasha:  "What it cost me a lot was that I should not — investing in myself is not an expense." For someone who once made and lost millions as a stock trader, this realization didn't come cheap. Yasha learned the hard way that the returns from investing in personal growth, healing, and self-understanding far outweigh anything a balance sheet can measure. It's a mindset shift that mirrors the philosophy of the Richer Soul podcast itself — that true wealth isn't just financial, it's internal. Whether it's the cost of a retreat, a therapy program, or simply carving out time for self-reflection, Yasha's experience is a reminder that the most transformative investment a person can make is the one directed inward. The ROI doesn't show up in a quarterly report, but it shows up in the quality of every decision, relationship, and moment that follows.    Why This Conversation Matters:  We live in an era where mental health struggles are at an all-time high, yet the conventional solutions — talk therapy, medication, self-help books — leave many people feeling stuck. At the same time, psychedelic therapy is moving from the cultural fringe into mainstream conversation, with research institutions, medical professionals, and even Fortune 500 executives taking it seriously. But with that momentum comes hype, misinformation, and a growing number of retreat operators more interested in profit than participant safety. This conversation matters because Yasha Shah offers something rare in this space: honesty without the sales pitch. He doesn't promise miracles. He doesn't dress things up in vague spiritual language. He speaks plainly about what ayahuasca can and cannot do, who it's safe for and who it's not, and why the real work begins after the ceremony ends. For anyone curious about plant medicine — especially entrepreneurs and high achievers who are used to optimizing every aspect of their lives — this episode provides the grounded, no-nonsense perspective they need before making one of the most significant decisions of their personal journey. It's not a commercial for ayahuasca. It's a roadmap for approaching it wisely.    About Yasha Sha:  He's not your typical plant medicine guy. He doesn't do new age BS, and he sure as hell doesn't do spiritual bypassing. He had crippling anxiety, depression, suicidal tendencies. He was a stock trader who made and lost millions, and his life was a mess. He went to the Amazon in 2017 desperate for answers after therapy, medication, and everything else failed. Ayahuasca helped, but it wasn't some magic cure like people want to believe. He got sick again, so he spent a year in Nepal and India searching, and what he found was fake gurus, charlatans, and desperate people projecting their needs onto anyone exotic enough. In 2023, he went back to the jungle, and that's when everything changed. He got initiated by the Shipibo in Peru and Kamsa in Colombia, and learned that real transformation requires discernment, integration, and being grounded in reality, not fantasy. He founded Mahadevi Ayahuasca Retreat because he's against the idea of everyone becoming a shaman. He works with indigenous healers who've spent years mastering this medicine. Here's the thing: he's bilingual in a sense. He can understand the spiritual realm and language without losing his sanity, and he can bring it into the real world. That's why entrepreneurs and go-getter types like working with him the most. Good business isn't less spiritual than ceremony, it shows you're integrated and wise. With his partner Ania, they created the Ayahuasca Framework where anyone can learn the truth about ayahuasca and know if this is the right choice for them. Your audience will hear the real story about plant medicine, the traps he's seen, and how to approach this work without the bullshit.     Links:  Website: https://mahadeviayahuasca.com/    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yasha-shah-28b1bb264/    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul  Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

This week we're discussing What's Holding You Back and How It's Affecting Your Kids. Growth doesn't always announce itself as something you're missing. Sometimes you're functioning, even thriving in some areas, and still carrying patterns that are quietly working against you. Denial, shame spiraling, overcompensating, running to busyness or numbing out. You don't have to be falling apart to need this. You just have to be human. And the way you're handling the hard things right now is already shaping the way your kids will learn to handle theirs. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent and co-host, sit down with Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and a single parent herself, to name the patterns that quietly keep solo parents from growing. Amber brings both clinical insight and lived experience, speaking not just as a therapist but as someone who has navigated the same hard terrain. Together they get honest about the traps, and the part nobody talks about enough: how those patterns find their way into our kids. Key Insights from This Episode Naming the trap is the most courageous first step. Whether it shows up as denial, shame spiraling, or overcompensating, you cannot grow through something you are not willing to honestly look at. Staying in the river is a learnable skill. Sitting with hard emotions rather than escaping to busyness or apathy is not something you either have or don't; it is something you practice, and it gets easier. Your growth is already teaching your kids something. More is caught than taught, and when you do the work of facing your own struggles honestly, that becomes one of the most powerful things you can model.

What if the calm, stable life you've worked so hard to create… is the very thing your nervous system doesn't trust? In this powerful and eye-opening coaching session, Christine works with Carla, who has done years of deep personal growth after a highly chaotic and unstable childhood. She's now in a loving, supportive relationship and living a peaceful life—but instead of feeling settled, she finds herself questioning everything. Why? Because her nervous system is still wired for chaos. Carla opens up about growing up in instability, being parentified at a young age, and constantly second-guessing herself—even now that she's created a completely different reality. Christine helps her uncover how old patterns of hypervigilance, self-doubt, and an overactive inner critic can make peace feel unfamiliar—and even unsafe. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn't just about doing the work—it's about recognizing and embodying how far you've already come. If you've ever found yourself searching for problems in a life that is actually working… this episode will help you understand why—and how to shift. Press play to learn how to stop sabotaging your peace and finally step into the life you've created.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you feel uncomfortable or restless when life is calm or stable? Are you constantly looking for what's wrong—even when things are going well? Do you struggle to trust healthy relationships or peaceful environments? Are you acknowledging your growth—or still focused on what needs fixing?   Key Insights and A-Ha's A chaotic childhood can wire your nervous system to expect instability—even in safe environments. When life becomes calm, unresolved emotions and patterns often surface. The inner critic can keep you stuck in a cycle of "fixing" instead of recognizing progress. Healthy relationships can feel unfamiliar—and trigger doubt or questioning. True healing requires not just doing the work, but embodying and celebrating your growth.   How to Deepen the Work Notice when you are scanning for problems instead of being present with what is working. Practice validating your feelings without needing to analyze or fix them. Acknowledge your progress regularly—write down how far you've come. Experiment with fully stepping into your current life without questioning it.   Resource Mentioned in This Episode Inner Child Course with Christine Hassler Christine shares a powerful resource for healing childhood wounds, rewiring your nervous system, and building a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

What happens when you stay quiet in a relationship for too long? In this deeply relatable coaching session, Christine works with Mel, who has been in a long-term partnership of over 16 years. While there is still love between them, ongoing conflict, emotional disconnection, and unspoken needs have created a relationship dynamic where Mel feels like she's doing all the emotional work—while her partner withdraws, avoids, or shuts down. As they unpack the situation, a powerful pattern emerges: the cost of silence. Mel realizes that in trying to keep the peace, she has slowly disconnected from her own needs—over-functioning, people-pleasing, and tolerating behaviors that deeply impact her sense of safety and well-being. Christine introduces the concept of the "merging pattern"—where one partner over-functions and the other under-functions—and shows how true healing requires not just internal work, but external expression: speaking up, setting boundaries, and advocating for what you need. If you've ever felt like you're "doing all the work" in a relationship, or you're afraid to speak up because of how the other person might react, this episode will challenge and empower you. Press play to discover why your voice matters—and how reclaiming it can transform your relationships.    Consider / Ask Yourself Are you holding back your true needs to avoid conflict in a relationship? Do you feel like you're doing all the emotional work while your partner withdraws? Are you over-functioning or people-pleasing to keep the peace? What needs have you not clearly expressed or advocated for?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Silence in relationships often leads to resentment, disconnection, and imbalance. Over-functioning in one partner can enable under-functioning in the other. True self-love includes advocating for your needs—not just meeting them yourself. Taking things personally can activate survival patterns that keep you stuck. Healthy relationships require clear communication, boundaries, and shared responsibility.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on where you may be tolerating behaviors that don't align with your needs. Identify and write down your core relationship needs—get specific. Practice expressing your needs clearly and calmly, even if it feels uncomfortable. Consider seeking support (coaching or counseling) to navigate deeper relational patterns.   Social Media + Resources:  Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: jill@christinehassler.com — For information on any of my services!

Is your stress about money really about money—or something deeper? In this insightful and empowering coaching session, Christine works with Jody, who is navigating a major life transition after a 20-year marriage. As she steps into financial independence for the first time, she's facing intense fear, overwhelm, and a deep sense of scarcity. But as the conversation unfolds, a powerful truth emerges: Jody's struggle isn't actually about money—it's about years of conditioning around worth, safety, and control. Christine helps Jody uncover how childhood patterns, people-pleasing, and a history of shrinking herself have shaped her relationship with money—and how this moment of change is actually an opportunity to reclaim her power. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by finances, doubted your ability to support yourself, or tied your worth to your financial situation, this episode will help you see what's really going on beneath the surface. Press play to learn how stepping into your worth—not just your wallet—is the real path to abundance.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you feel anxious or overwhelmed when it comes to money or financial decisions? Have you ever given your financial power over to someone else? Do you associate safety with "staying small" or avoiding risk? Are your financial fears actually rooted in deeper emotional patterns?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Financial stress is often a reflection of deeper nervous system patterns—not just numbers. Scarcity can come from years of shrinking, people-pleasing, and loss of autonomy. Major life transitions (like divorce) can be powerful opportunities to reclaim personal and financial power. Abundance begins with expanding out of contraction—not just earning more money. Support is a key component of an abundance mindset—you don't have to figure everything out alone.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on your earliest memories and beliefs about money and worth. Notice where you may be bracing, contracting, or avoiding when it comes to finances. Practice receiving support—whether emotional, practical, or financial guidance. Explore what truly matters to you and begin aligning your spending with your values.   Resource Mentioned in This Episode Good With Money Workshop + Relaxed Money Program with Kate Northrup Christine recommends this resource for both practical financial strategy and deeper emotional healing around money.

What if the belief holding you back today was formed in a single moment from your past? In Part 2 of this powerful coaching series, Christine takes Tiffany deeper—into the exact core memory that shaped one of her most limiting beliefs: "I'll get it wrong." After a year of immense loss (explored in Part 1), Tiffany begins to uncover how a painful childhood experience—being publicly embarrassed by a close friend—created patterns of self-protection, hypervigilance, and emotional shutdown that have followed her into adulthood. Rather than simply reframing the belief, Christine guides Tiffany through a real-time rewiring process—helping her reconnect with her younger self, express unspoken emotions, and shift from collapse into self-advocacy. This episode is a masterclass in what true healing looks like: not bypassing pain, but meeting it with presence, compassion, and a new response. If you've ever struggled with fear of rejection, self-expression, or "getting it wrong," this episode will show you how those patterns form—and how they can change. Press play to witness what it looks like to rewrite your story at the root—and reclaim your voice.    Consider / Ask Yourself What core memory or moment may have shaped your biggest limiting belief? Do you tend to collapse, withdraw, or shut down when you feel vulnerable? Are you trying to "think your way out" of beliefs that were formed emotionally? What would it feel like to respond to your past self with compassion and advocacy?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Limiting beliefs are often formed in emotionally charged childhood moments. Reframing isn't enough—true healing requires emotional and somatic rewiring. Suppressed anger can keep us stuck in patterns of collapse and self-protection. Giving your younger self a voice can unlock long-held emotional patterns. Healing shifts you from reactive patterns into conscious, empowered responses.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on a memory where you felt rejected, embarrassed, or hurt. Identify the belief that may have formed in that moment. Practice reconnecting with your younger self and offering support, validation, and protection. Notice where you can shift from reacting to consciously responding in your present life.   Resource Mentioned in This Episode Rewired: Reparenting Your Inner Child + Reprogramming Your Nervous System Christine shares how this course guides you through healing core wounds, reconnecting with your inner child, and transforming limiting beliefs at the root.
