We've never done an episode quite like this before. We sat down with writer and creative Allie Carr—twice. In October 2025, she was just beginning to emerge from a really difficult chapter. When we spoke again in February 2026, her spark for life was fully back, and the seeds she had planted were unfolding in real time. In the months between, Allie moved through a Saturn return, career pivots, financial uncertainty, and a deep shedding of who she used to be. What looked like falling apart was actually falling into place. This conversation is a reminder that manifestation often has a full arc: the breakdown, the becoming, and the moment it all clicks. If you're in your own hard season right now, this episode is your life raft. Want to see where her journey began? Watch her original episode on our YouTube channel.

When money is tight, a budget can feel like punishment. Like proof you messed up… or worse, proof your faith is weak. But what if that's backwards? In this episode, Bob and Linda flip the script and show why a budget isn't evidence of failure—it's evidence of faith in action. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, and real-life stories, they unpack why budgeting is actually a weapon God gives us in seasons of financial pressure. If you've ever thought, "If God would just fix this, why do I need a spreadsheet?"—this conversation is for you. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why tight money seasons are normal, not a sign God has forgotten you How financial stress literally reduces your brain's capacity—and why structure matters The overlooked budgeting lesson hidden in 2 Kings 4 (the widow, the oil, and God's plan) Why God's miracles often create margin, but structure makes it meaningful How a budget pushes back against chaos, anxiety, and decision fatigue What Scripture really says about money, worry, and priorities (Matthew 6, Haggai 1, Philippians 4) Why a budget can act as a mirror, revealing where money is leaking How real people saw fast wins—even without making more money Key Scriptures Mentioned (NLT): 2 Kings 4:1–7 – God's miracle + human participation Matthew 6:24–34 – You cannot serve God and money; the cure for anxiety Haggai 1:5–7 – Wages put into purses with holes (misaligned priorities) Philippians 4:11–13 – Learning contentment in plenty and in need Big Idea: A budget isn't about restriction—it's about alignment. It's not a punishment used against you, but a tool placed in your hands. When money is tight, God doesn't just say "have more faith." He often gives a plan. Action Step for This Week: Take inventory. Just like the widow in 2 Kings, start by asking: "What do I actually have?" Write it down. No judgment—just clarity.

Encouragement If You're Struggling: You're not broken. You're not behind. You're not alone. Tight seasons are part of the training—not proof of failure.

Our girl Sarah was a good citizen and performed her civic duty of jury duty, so we hear about all the insanity, nonsense, and protocol she went through just to perform the thankless task of justice. Plus, she had a post-birthday snowboarding experience with a bunch of ladies, and she is riding the high of powder playtime. We hear why friction gets a bad rap when it's actually important to survival. We discuss a man who thought he had lung cancer, but really he had inhaled an everyday household item. We learn which men Sarah counts as "safe men" even though she doesn't want them romantically. Plus, we learn about "facial conformity" and how if an actor doesn't get botox or plastic surgery they're perceived as more talented.Join Susie and Sarah for The Brain Candy Podcast's 1000th episode celebration: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/brain-candy-1000th-episode-event/00:00 - Sarah's First-Hand Account of the Jury Duty Process20:00 - Dismissal and Reflection on the Flawed Jury System23:37 - Finding Joy and Community at an All-Women's Snowboarding Event28:52 - Unpacking the Foundational Role of Friction in Life and Technology33:47 - The Wild Story of a Man Who Inhaled a Toy at Age 742:06 - Discussing Competence and Protection in the "Safe Man" Archetype46:59 - Facial Conformity in Hollywood and the Power of Empathy56:28 - Upcoming Events, Partner Codes, and Patreon ContentBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Head to https://www.brodo.com/CANDY for 20% off your first subscription order and use code CANDY for an additional $10 off.Get 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLEAre you actually training hard enough, or just training comfortably? In this episode, Coach Mia breaks down a common blind spot in the gym: many people believe they're pushing hard, but they're leaving progress on the table by stopping before the real work begins.Mia shares three simple ways to assess whether your training intensity is where it needs to be—from understanding reps in reserve, to recognizing what a true final rep should look and feel like, and paying attention to real muscular fatigue.Because progress in the gym doesn't happen in the comfortable middle, it happens right at the edge where things start to feel difficult. Learning to sit in those last few challenging reps is often the difference between maintaining and actually improving.As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought.

Confidence isn't just mindset crap. It affects your pricing, your messaging, your sales conversations and your boundaries. And ultimately - whether your retreat fills or flops. In this episode, Shannon is joined by leadership expert, sales strategist, and bestselling author Nathan Jamail (she is biased, but he is pretty damn amazing) to unpack the real reason many retreat leaders struggle to sell out their events: lack of business confidence. They discuss: Imposter syndrome in the retreat industry Underpricing rooted in insecurity Overexplaining instead of leading What confident messaging actually sounds like How to build real, earned business confidence They also share that this episode was recorded in their new studio space in Austin - and you can now watch the full conversation on YouTube. If you've ever doubted yourself while launching a retreat, this episode will challenge and strengthen you. What You'll Learn Why confidence directly impacts conversions The hidden cost of underpricing How retreat leaders accidentally repel buyers The difference between loud marketing and confident leadership The discipline required to build real business confidence Key Takeaways Imposter syndrome doesn't disappear - it's managed through action. Underpricing signals insecurity to your audience. Overexplaining weakens authority. Confident leaders make clear decisions and stand by them. Confidence is built through preparation, skill, and repetition - not affirmations alone.

Join Jedlie for a heartfelt, high‑energy double feature celebrating the power of stories, family, and big feelings. First up, speech therapist and children's author Kimberly Delude chats about her picture book series "Freddie the Fly." Freddie is a lovable little fly who struggles with listening, reading nonverbal cues, and social skills. Kimberly shares how a single bored student in grad school inspired her to create fun, kid‑friendly stories instead of dry, adult‑focused "do this, don't do that" materials. She and Jed dive into why reading with kids builds vocabulary, confidence, and connection, why we shouldn't "dumb down" words in children's books, and how parents being honest about their own struggles can make kids feel less alone. They also touch on selective mutism, the magic of a child finally speaking, and Kimberly's tech‑savvy modern fairy tale "Digital Red." Then we head to Southern California with Wanda Arlene Barajas, author of "Benny the Brave: A Story of Love, Loss and Learning." Inspired by her real rescue dog who loses a front leg, Wanda's book gently helps kids explore fear, sadness, frustration, and hope. She and Jed talk about preparing kids for life's hard changes before they happen, coping in healthy ways, and how one accident pushed her to finally pursue her dream of writing. Wanda also celebrates the rich, family‑centered culture of Puerto Rico and teases her upcoming book "Karina and Sabi: A Journey to the Heart of Cidra," which spotlights an endangered local dove and the importance of caring for our world. A warm, inspiring episode for anyone who loves kids, books, dogs, or Puerto Rico.

Some episodes start with a plan.This one absolutely did not.In this episode of The Sesh, Brandon and Jesse light up a bowl of E85 and end up going everywhere.

Many of us want to trust our intuition — but it's rarely that simple. Old patterns, trauma responses, people-pleasing, anxiety, and our nervous system can all speak loudly inside us. When those voices mix together, it can feel confusing to know what's actually intuition and what's something else entirely. If you've ever looked back at a decision and thought “I should have known better,” you're not alone. Learning to trust your intuition isn't about always making the “right” choice, it's about building a relationship with yourself over time. In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah answers thoughtful questions from the Moon Studio community about intuition, discernment, trauma responses, and the deeper work of learning how to listen to yourself with compassion. In this episode, you'll hear: Why hindsight can make past decisions look like “mistakes” The difference between intuition and patterns like fear or people-pleasing Why we sometimes override our intuition — and what that reveals How Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work relate to intuition The role of protector parts, inner children, and nervous system responses Navigating intuition when you live with CPTSD or trauma patterns Building nervous system capacity to follow intuitive guidance How to stay connected to intuition during burnout, grief, or despair Using intuition to find support instead of forcing clarity Why some dreams we chase may not actually be ours How learning from experience turns “mistakes” into discernment The deeper question behind intuition: who you want to become If this conversation resonates with you and you'd like to go deeper into developing your intuitive voice, you may want to check out Sarah's Secret Studies: Intuition course: https://moon-studio.co/products/secret-studies-intuition-february?variant=49964951175463 Because in the end, intuition isn't about perfection, it's about learning how to listen to yourself.

In this family-cast episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with our High 6 Associate Richard Whitman to walk through his 20-year journey from mechanic and accountant to creative real estate investor building three-payday deals. Rich bought his first flip back in 2005, was actively buying foreclosures through the 2008 crash, and today holds 13 properties, 20 units, and an Airbnb—plus he's now stacking terms deals on top of that portfolio.  We break down how he turned an expired listing from a veteran on the brink of giving the house back to the bank into a subject-to, three-payday deal worth roughly $80,000 in total profit, with $30,000 down, strong monthly cash flow, and a solid back-end. You'll hear how the bootcamp "light bulbs" helped him stop over-rehabbing, how our buyer-side systems and Wednesday Q&A calls fast-tracked his confidence, and why his mission now is to help families avoid foreclosure while hitting his goal of two creative finance deals a month. If you're a W-2 earner, a seasoned flipper, or a buy-and-hold investor who knows there's more leverage in terms, this conversation will show you how to plug into the three-payday system and move from baby steps to "jogging" toward financial freedom. Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:00 Introduction 02:03 How Rich got the real estate itch 03:01 Buying foreclosures through the 2008 crash 04:10 Passion for foreclosures and helping people 05:26 From bootcamp light-bulb moments to joining the community 06:50 Why the three-payday structure clicked 07:25 Building a family business with his daughter 08:12 Deal breakdown: expired listing, veteran, and sub-to 09:10 Learning subject-to on the fly and educating the seller 10:02 Support from the Smart Real Estate Coach team 11:21 Why weekly buyer Q&A calls matter 15:02 The numbers: $30K down and ~80K total profit 16:04 Gratitude and impact: serving both sides of the table 17:55 Deal timelines: from lead to contract to funded buyer 18:37 Balancing helping family, flips, and three-payday goals 20:21 Leveraging coaches and a deep bench of experience 22:01 Mindset shift: from loss and fear to baby steps and jogging Quotables "I bought my first flip, cost me ten grand, put about twelve in it and sold it for fifty. So that gave me a good itch to start doing more." "I'm just thankful for anything. I'm thankful I could help somebody out… I'm thankful I got somebody in a house that weren't able to get qualified through banks." "Even if you just start out at the bottom level, get in there, put your foot in there and start taking the baby steps, and sooner or later you'll be jogging."

Empowering Women in Real Estate - The Podcast with Karen Cooper
What happens when a 20-year real estate veteran says yes to mentoring a brand-new agent? In this episode, I sit down with Platinum Group team members Jodi Hooper and Val Ovalle to talk about a modern mentorship story that has transformed both of their businesses. Jodi has been licensed since 2005. After years of saying she might retire "soon," she found something she didn't know she needed — mentoring. Val joined our team in late August, received her license in September… and was our Top Producer by December — less than four months into her career. But this episode isn't about production numbers. It's about: What new agents really need in their first 90 days Why mentorship is more than just contracts and compliance How experienced agents can build a path toward legacy with mentorship The power of collaboration over competition And why no one should try to do this business alone If you're a new agent wondering where to start… Or a seasoned agent wondering what's next… This conversation will give you perspective, possibility, and maybe even a new path forward.

In this episode, Michael sits down with Jake Knox to unpack what mentorship actually looks like when it works in the real world. Jake shares insights from his newly released book, Oak Logs and Gasoline, a practical guide born from years of conversations with his four sons and his lived experience mentoring young people and professionals. From Conversations to a Mentorship Playbook Jake explains how Oak Logs and Gasoline came together and why it is intentionally practical. The book tackles issues many people quietly struggle with: stress, loneliness, finding purpose, and navigating hard conversations. Rather than theory, Jake focuses on grounded guidance mentors can actually use and young people can immediately apply. Mentorship in the Modern Workplace Michael and Jake explore how mentorship must evolve as younger generations enter the workforce. Technology, social dynamics, and expectations have changed, and mentors who rely on outdated approaches risk missing the connection entirely. Jake emphasizes adapting communication styles, building trust first, and understanding the world mentees are actually living in. A standout theme from the book is identifying and using your personal “superpower” to create positive impact at work and in life. Learning to Adapt and Start Fresh Michael shares a personal story about struggling in a college class, then succeeding after switching professors. The lesson is clear: sometimes progress requires a reset, not more pressure. That same principle shows up in his current role mentoring a graduate student navigating academic and career uncertainty alongside family responsibilities. Mentorship, at its best, creates clarity rather than adding weight. Meeting Mentees Where They Are A central takeaway from the conversation is the importance of meeting mentees where they are instead of projecting our own assumptions onto them. Jake shares examples of how this mindset transforms conversations with young people and workplace teams. The discussion closes with reflections on how Jake's book has opened unexpected doors and why creating safe, open dialogue remains the foundation of meaningful mentorship. This episode is a grounded reminder that mentorship is not about having the right answers. It is about asking better questions, listening without judgment, and creating space for people to find their own voice. Book: https://amzn.to/4q6tMSG

One of my biggest goals this year is to become a more interesting person by learning more intentionally. Instead of letting free time disappear into scrolling or passive entertainment, I started building something I call a monthly curriculum - a framework that helps me explore new ideas, develop hobbies, and be more intentional about how I spend my time. In this episode, I walk through my March curriculum, including the theme I'm focusing on, the nonfiction book I'm reading, the hobby I'm trying, and the small lifestyle upgrades I'm making.I also share lessons from my February curriculum and how you can realistically incorporate something like this into your life even if you work full time.In this episode we cover:

In this solo episode, host Travis Chappell walks through five powerful questions from his “25 Questions to Ask Yourself to Live a Better Life” series, drawn from his own journey as a door-to-door salesman, founder, and creator. He opens up about evolving from chasing money to designing a life he actually wants, the role of environment in success, and how being a dad has reshaped his ambitions and self-talk. Travis' mix of personal stories and practical reflection prompts makes this a concise but impactful episode for anyone serious about growth. On this episode we talk about: How your environment shapes who you become and what you achieve Why you must regularly revisit and update your aspirations and goals Spotting a learning plateau in your career or business and when to pivot Using your kids as a mirror: would you be okay if they turned out like you? Auditing your calendar to see if what you're doing is actually moving you toward your goals Top 3 Takeaways Intentionally engineering your environment—content, relationships, and daily inputs—makes it easier to become the kind of person who can hit big goals. Your goals should evolve as you do; if you never revisit them, you might still be chasing the dreams of your 19-year-old self. Hitting a learning plateau is dangerous because it caps your earning power; continual learning and honest calendar audits keep you from drifting into a comfortable but stagnant life. Notable Quotes "You're sort of shooting yourself in the foot to see if you can walk, which doesn't really make much sense." "The day that you commit to not learning anymore is the day that you say, I think I'm good making this for the rest of my life." "Would I be okay if my kids ended up like me—same habits, same self-talk, same friends, same lifestyle?"

Steve Sladkowski of PUP joins Blake for a conversation about the strange business of building a life out of noise. This one wanders into the good stuff. The human stuff. The part nobody puts on the laminate. Imposter syndrome. Burnout. Getting older. Learning that rest is not the same thing as quitting, even if your brain, like an underqualified middle manager, keeps sending panic memos in all caps. Steve talks about PUP's early days, growing up in Toronto, falling into music through school programs, and slowly realizing that the thing you love might become the thing that carries you, if you're willing to drag it uphill long enough. There's also the darker chapter. The moment when Stefan's voice gave out, a doctor delivered the kind of sentence that can rearrange your organs, and the band had to stare down the possibility that the whole machine might stop. What comes through here isn't just the crisis itself, but the way a band survives something like that: by choosing not to let fear, blame, or bad luck rot the foundation from underneath. And then, because no Tone Mob episode can go too long without somebody describing an amp like it's their best firend, the conversation rolls into guitars, pedals, and the slow, stubborn art of figuring out what actually works. Fender guitars. Vibroluxes. Dr. Zs. Roland Cubes. Road-tested pedalboard choices. The glorious stupidity of moving real air. Steve talks about finding gear that feels like home and hanging onto it, which is maybe not so different from finding people like that too. It's a conversation about surviving long enough to mean it. About staying curious. About making peace with the fact that even after years of doing the thing, some tiny part of you still expects a knock at the door from a guy holding a clipboard and bad news.

"We don't go from severely symptomatic to fibro-free overnight, right? Improvement with fibromyalgia can be subtle, and it does take time." - Tami Stackelhouse Going through life with fibromyalgia, many of us quietly hope that one day we'll wake up without pain, fatigue, or brain fog. Unfortunately, in reality, improvement is small and can be hard to see while it's happening. Sometimes you might feel better for a week or two and then you have a flare and you feel like you're back at square one. It can feel like nothing is changing, even if things actually are. Improvement with fibromyalgia often shows up in quiet ways. Flares might not hit as hard as they used to. Recovery may happen a little faster. You might start noticing patterns that help you support your body before symptoms spiral. These shifts can be subtle, making them easy to overlook, especially when memory, brain fog, and emotional bias color our perception of our bad days. Learning how to track your symptoms in a simple, sustainable way can help you see those patterns more clearly and recognize progress that might otherwise go unnoticed. In this solo episode, Tami walks through why tracking symptoms can be one of the most powerful tools for understanding your fibromyalgia. Tami talks about what improvement looks like in fibromyalgia, why progress doesn't usually mean immediate symptom elimination, how daily symptom tracking can make a significant difference on your healing journey, Tami's tips for making tracking sustainable, how to use your tracking and symptom logs, how the revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire can help measure meaningful changes in symptoms, the role of assessment, personalized planning, and ongoing adjustments in a wellness framework, normalizing setbacks and course corrections using the analogy of a GPS recalculating the route, common mistakes we make once we start improving, what remission actually means in fibromyalgia, what progress really looks like, the idea of the "sticky middle," when improvement is happening but hard to recognize, recognizing the real life signs of improvement, when it may be helpful to seek specialized support or coaching, and more. Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice. Every person and every situation is unique.

We are spectacularly good at having ideas and remarkably reluctant to do anything with them. It turns out that the distance between "I've got it!" and "here it is" is not a step but a rather long, occasionally bewildering journey. Not unlike flying a plane. It involves a terrifying amount of fuel, significant faith in invisible forces, and a desperate hope that everything holds together on landing. History's great innovators weren't just bold thinkers; they were stubborn completers. Edison filed hundreds of patents before the lightbulb. Jeff Bezos accidentally invented cloud computing whilst trying to sell books. Remember: Ideas evolve mid-flight — your job is to keep steering Feedback isn't optional; even Van Gogh had his brother Consistency across many ideas beats obsessing over one perfect one Fasten your seatbelt — your ideas deserve an actual destination.

Research shows that Gen Z will be the first generation to score lower on standardized tests than their parents. A number of educators argue that the arrival of technology in the classroom was the downfall. They say that the smartboards, laptops, and other technology geared at helping schools modernize and helping kids keep up has set students back. What can reignite kids' love of learning? The leaders of the Rochester Education Foundation's Smile program say its hands-on learning experiences are boosting students' STEM skills and their passion for education — without relying exclusively on tech. We discuss it with our guests.

Become Emotionally Strong This episode continues our Strength Series by focusing on emotional strength. So many moms live in a cycle of reacting, snapping, numbing, or shutting down — then feeling guilty afterward. If this is you, it's not because you're doing something wrong, it's because you were never taught how to feel your emotions. In this episode, I talk through what emotional strength actually is, why it matters so much in motherhood, and how it's built through awareness and practice. I'll share: The difference between emotional childhood and emotional adulthood, and how it shows up in daily motherhood Why discomfort isn't a problem to fix, but information to listen to How emotionally strong moms stop giving their power away to circumstances, other people, or “shoulds” and what that looks like in daily life. Learning how to process emotions changes how you move through life — not by controlling what happens, but by strengthening how you respond.

In this episode of Excess Returns, Matt Zeigler and Bogumil Baranowski speak with Vitaliy Katsenelson, CEO of Investment Management Associates and author of Soul in the Game. The conversation explores how value investing is evolving in a world shaped by artificial intelligence, rapidly changing economic dynamics, and historically high market valuations. Vitaliy discusses why humility and diversification are increasingly important for investors today, how to balance quality and valuation when selecting stocks, and what he has learned about selling decisions, portfolio construction, and long-term investing discipline. The discussion also moves beyond markets into deeper ideas about passion, creativity, and why investing, like art, is ultimately a creative pursuit driven by curiosity and lifelong learning.Topics covered in this episodeWhy high stock market valuations may create a headwind for future returnsThe math behind long-term stock market returns and the role of earnings growth versus valuation changesWhether the dominance of mega-cap technology companies represents a structural shift in marketsWhy AI investment could lead to both massive innovation and large amounts of wasted capitalThe importance of humility in investing during periods of rapid technological and economic changeWhy Vitaliy increased the number of stocks in his portfolio due to greater uncertaintyHow investors can think about what will not change in a rapidly evolving worldThe evolution from statistical value investing to focusing on business quality and managementWhy cheap stocks are often expensive and how narrative bias can trap value investorsThe importance of evaluating management integrity and avoiding companies with questionable leadershipHow Vitaliy thinks about selling decisions and recognizing when an investment thesis is brokenWhy many investors make their biggest mistakes by selling winners too earlyThe concept of being a value buyer but a growth holder when fundamentals improveWhy updating valuation models as businesses improve is critical to capturing long-term upsideLessons learned from great investors and the importance of surrounding yourself with thoughtful peersThe idea of building a personal operating system for investing and lifePassion, patience, and process as the three pillars of long-term investment successWhy investing is fundamentally a creative pursuit similar to art and musicThe deeper motivations behind investing and why for many great investors it is not ultimately about moneyTimestamps0:00 Vitaliy on humility and why the range of outcomes in investing is expanding2:00 The math behind long-term stock market returns4:00 Why high valuations can become a headwind for future returns6:00 Big tech growth and whether large companies now have structural advantages8:00 AI investment and the risk of massive capital misallocation10:30 Learning AI and why investors must adapt to rapid technological change14:00 Why humility leads to diversification and larger portfolios20:00 The evolution from cheap stocks to quality investing25:30 Selling discipline and recognizing when a thesis is broken34:30 Letting winners run and avoiding the mistake of selling too early42:00 Learning from other great investors and building your own framework44:30 Passion, patience, and process in investing52:00 Why great investors are motivated by more than money1:01:40 The connection between investing, creativity, and classical music

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree? Eighty years ago. The second-best time? Today.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Travel is often framed as a luxury or a break from real life, but in this conversation we explore how it can be a powerful developmental tool for kids. Beyond sightseeing, travel becomes a classroom for empathy, adaptability, and connection. We talk about how exposure to new cultures, languages, and environments helps children grow socially and emotionally, even when trips don't go as planned. The goal is not perfect itineraries, but meaningful experiences that stretch comfort zones and strengthen family bonds. We also highlight how many of these lessons can happen with or without international travel. Curiosity about the world, honoring others' needs, and learning to navigate discomfort are skills families can practice anywhere. Travel simply magnifies those opportunities, giving kids real-time chances to build resilience, perspective, and compassion. What we discussed: Using travel as an opportunity for education and growth Building curiosity about other cultures and people Exposure to diversity through real-life experiences Learning empathy through cultural connection Creating global awareness even from home Turning curiosity into advocacy and compassion Practicing flexibility when plans fall apart Modeling calm problem-solving during stress Kids learning adaptability from unexpected setbacks Honoring individual needs within a group Taking turns and negotiating shared experiences Respecting parents' and siblings' preferences Practicing patience and compromise Learning to feel comfortable being different Building empathy for newcomers and outsiders Growing confidence in unfamiliar environments Prioritizing family connection over perfection Choosing time together as a core value Managing resources like time and energy intentionally Strengthening family identity through shared experiences Want more?

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Why can't I just relax in this relationship?” Nothing dramatic has happened. There hasn't been an affair. No obvious betrayal. And yet you feel on edge. You double-check. You scan for signs. You wonder if something is wrong, even when everything seems fine. Trust issues in relationships do not always start with a fresh wound. Sometimes they are rooted in past hurt. Sometimes they grow out of relational trauma you thought you had already worked through. And sometimes they show up as relationship anxiety that refuses to settle down, even with a good partner. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, we're talking about what trust issues actually are and what they are not. We'll unpack why hypervigilance, reassurance-seeking, and worst-case thinking can quietly strain a healthy relationship, and why that reaction makes sense when you understand what your nervous system has been through. We'll also explore the difference between a real red flag and a trauma trigger, how attachment patterns shape your sense of safety, and what it truly takes to deal with trust issues in a way that builds secure connection instead of pushing love away. As you listen, gently ask yourself: Is this fear about what's happening right now, or about something that happened before? You deserve to feel secure, confident, and emotionally safe in your relationships. Learning how to deal with trust issues is not about becoming less sensitive. It is about becoming more grounded and more secure in yourself. Episode Breakdown 00:00 Why trust issues in relationships show up even when nothing is wrong 06:59 Signs of trust issues and relationship anxiety 09:18 How trust issues strain healthy relationships 21:27 Relational trauma and the roots of trust issues 33:14 Attachment styles and trust patterns 42:46 How anxiety spirals, the cereal box example 47:23 Therapy for trust issues, CBT, and couples counseling 56:36 Building secure trust from the inside out If this conversation is stirring something up for you, that makes sense. Working through trust issues and relationship anxiety takes insight, practice, and sometimes support. You can schedule a free consultation with me or a member of my team. It's a private, secure space where you can tell us what's really been happening in your relationship, what's feeling hard, and what you wish felt different. We'll help you get matched with the right counselor or coach so you can feel more grounded, more understood, and more confident in your ability to build secure, healthy love. You don't have to keep managing trust issues on your own.
