Mezi Olomoucí a Šternberkem leží obec Bělkovice-Laštany. Od ní vede údolí zaříznuté mezi strmé kopce Nízkého Jeseníku. Kdysi tam stával hrad Tepenec, založený ve 14. století Karlem IV. Dnes jsou pozůstatky hradu z velké části odtěženy místním kamenolomem. Kousek od něj se nachází zajímavé místo, kterému se říká Teplá díra. Jde o prohlubeň uprostřed lesa, ve které v zimě taje sníh.

Our Paper Camp alumni are doing incredible things and growing their wholesale businesses in a very intentional and meaningful way. Today's guest is Lesa Muehlstein from Birdie Mae Designs, and she is no exception.  I've been keeping tabs on Lesa's progress ever since she attended Paper Camp in early 2022.  Lesa added 200 new stores within 2.5 years of attending Paper Camp, and as she will share today, that number is even higher now.  Lesa came to Paper Camp in early 2022 and before our 4 weeks were up, she had secured 5 new stores, bringing her total count to 15. During that time, she also raised her prices and refined her sales system. August 2023, she messaged me to say that she was now in 100 stores and that her brand had been featured in a national magazine in August 2024. Just one year later, she shared that she was in 200 stores! This growth did not happen overnight and it was not without its challenges, but it is worth celebrating Lesa's successes every step of the way. On today's episode, Lesa shares her startup story and we talk about inventory and product challenges, particularly balancing how much inventory to order when space and cash flow are constraints. She shares what sales data she's tracking and how she uses that data to make decisions in her business, including what to discontinue or what to buy more of.  We also talked about the benefits of wholesale, specifically how we can systematize the sales, production, and fulfillment of wholesale orders in a way that makes the business work around personal responsibilities. Today's episode is brought to you by our Paper Camp program. Paper Camp is our wholesale coaching program where we teach you everything you need to know to build strong wholesale foundations. Over the course of 4 weeks, we tackle your product line, sales tools, and marketing plan, and we even talk about how to exhibit at trade shows if that's what you want to do. We start with your product line and go into everything from how often you should be releasing new products to ensuring that your numbers are sustainable for the wholesale market and their price for profit. Then we move into sales tools you must have for selling wholesale so you make a strong first impression with buyers like catalogs and your terms and conditions. Then, we cover marketing strategies and ways to reach various store owners.  Each week's teachings build on the previous week, and we host weekly live engaging coaching calls to answer all of your questions. We will open enrollment for our next round of Paper Camp soon, and we sell this program out every time we run it. Join the wait list and you'll get early access to enroll.

Core wounds healing + nervous system rewiring for women over 40. In this episode, JJ Flizanes joins Lesa Koski to unpack core wounds healing, the “core wound map,” and how your subconscious beliefs shape people-pleasing, abandonment fears, and everyday triggers. You'll learn why core wounds healing isn't just awareness—it's rewiring, stretching past comfort zones, and building new neural pathways. JJ shares how core wounds healing can change your patterns in real time, and why choosing yourself is the pathway out of abandonment loops. Plus, a powerful look at 2026's “Year of the Fire Horse” energy—movement, action, and expansion after a season of shedding.If you're navigating midlife change, divorce recovery, emotional healing, or you're ready to stop spiraling and start choosing you, this conversation will meet you right where you are.Timestamps (in parentheses):(These are listener-friendly timestamps—adjust to match your final audio.)

Midlife mindset, stress relief, and emotional healing for women over 40. In this episode, we explore how to shift your midlife mindset, lower stress, and stop white-knuckling your way through life. Host Lesa Koski and her coach, Coach Tracy, unpack the beliefs that keep women stuck in “it has to be hard” mode and show you how slowing down can actually lead to better results in your health, relationships, and emotional well-being.You'll hear how Lesa's breast cancer journey forced her into stillness, why cortisol and hormones matter more than we think, and how tools like daily self-coaching and intentional planning can transform your midlife mindset. If you've ever felt like you're grinding through your days, pushing harder but feeling worse, this conversation will help you see a softer, more sustainable way forward.Listen in to learn how to name your emotions without judgment, examine the thoughts driving them, and give yourself permission to move at a healthier pace—without losing your ambition or your identity. This episode is a powerful invitation to reframe your midlife mindset and start doing life different.Timestamps:(00:00) Introduction to why we make life harder than it needs to be(03:10) Lesa's breast cancer story and the surprising power of stillness(07:45) White-knuckling, overachieving, and the “no pain, no gain” myth(13:20) Cortisol, hormones, and why stress can block weight loss and healing(18:50) The courage to slow down and sit with your emotions(23:30) Naming feelings, stopping judgment, and shifting core beliefs(29:05) Using intentional planning to decide how you want to feel(34:40) Practical micro-steps to create more ease in everyday life(39:10) Final encouragement: it doesn't have to be hard & how to get supportKey Takeaways:Ease can create better results than effort. Slowing down, resting, and listening to your body often leads to deeper healing and more sustainable progress than constant pushing.Your thoughts—not your circumstances—create your emotional experience. When you can name what you're feeling and see the belief behind it, you can finally change it.Stress and cortisol matter. White-knuckling, over-fasting, and over-training can backfire, especially for midlife women, by raising cortisol and blocking physical and emotional results.Stillness takes courage, not weakness. Sitting with your emotions, instead of fixing or judging them, is a powerful way to lower stress and reclaim your peace.You can decide how you want to feel ahead of time. Intentional planning—choosing your desired feeling and thought before events—can transform everything from social gatherings to work commitments.Guest Bio:Coach Tracy is a master life and weight coach and the creator of the Self-Made U™ method and planner, where she helps high-achieving women and men learn how to manage their minds, regulate emotions, and create results from the inside out.

Stillness, midlife anxiety, Christian mindset, healing, surrender, and purpose—this episode dives into stillness as the first daily shift to heal your mindset. Stillness is the doorway to hearing your calling, calming anxiety, and reconnecting with God when life feels loud and out of control.In this solo episode, host and author Lesa Koski shares how stillness became the unexpected beginning of her healing journey after a breast cancer diagnosis. She walks you through her come-to-Jesus moment in Arizona, the shock of hearing “you have cancer,” and the deep, surprising peace she found on the morning of her surgery.You'll learn why stillness is not passive or weak, but a powerful spiritual and emotional reset that breaks the cycle of overthinking, people-pleasing, and white-knuckling your way through life. Lesa offers real-life tools to help you practice stillness when your mind is spinning—whether you're facing cancer, divorce, health fears, or simply the quiet ache of a life that feels “too much.”If you're a woman over 40 or 50 feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out, this conversation will show you how stillness can become your first daily shift toward peace, purpose, and a more joyful, God-led life. Stillness doesn't remove the hard things, but it changes how you move through them.Timestamps:(00:00) Introduction to stillness as the first daily shift(02:05) Living in lifelong anxiety, fear, and fight-or-flight(04:12) The Arizona come-to-Jesus moment and praying for healing(07:03) The mammogram callback and terrifying biopsy experience(09:45) Hearing “you have breast cancer” and being forced to stop(12:18) Letting go of control and surrendering outcomes to God(14:40) Crying on hay bales, walking in the woods, and praying through fear(17:02) The morning of surgery, malignant hyperthermia, and supernatural peace(19:30) Why stillness is the foundation of healing and mindset work(21:08) Practical tools to access stillness when your mind is spinning(23:05) Using the feelings wheel and Scripture to name and process emotions(24:15) How to get Lesa's ebook, newsletter, and next steps for your healing journeyKey Takeaways:Stillness is the first daily shift that opens the door to hearing your calling and healing your mindset.A crisis (like cancer, divorce, or a child in trouble) can force you into stillness—and that stillness can become holy ground.You can't control outcomes, but you can control how you move through hard seasons by surrendering to God.Stillness isn't about doing nothing; it's about feeling your feelings, noticing God's presence, and interrupting anxiety's momentum.Simple practices—walking, crying in a safe place, grounding in your body, and using a feelings wheel—can help you access stillness even in the middle of chaos.Guest Bio:Lesa Koski is an attorney/mediator, podcast host, breast cancer survivor, and author of 5 Daily Shifts to Hear Your Calling and Heal Your Mindset. She helps women over 40 and 50 move from anxiety and overwhelm into peace, purpose, and God-led confidence by teaching practical, faith-centered mindset tools and daily shifts that support midlife reinvention.Resource Links:

Episode Description:Menopause and people pleasing are more connected than you think. Learn how hormonal shifts fuel emotional overload—and how to reclaim your voice, boundaries, and peace.In this powerful episode of Doing Life Different, host Lesa Koski is joined by therapist Dr. Becky Whetstone for an honest, empowering conversation about the emotional toll of people pleasing—especially during perimenopause and menopause. If you're tired of saying yes when you mean no, exhausted by invisible expectations, and ready to finally feel free in midlife, this episode is for you.We explore the deep connection between fluctuating hormones and heightened emotional reactivity, where people pleasing comes from, how to identify it in your relationships, and—most importantly—how to stop.

Is embodiment a tool in the ongoing fight for collective justice? In the intro, I share how the wellness world shaped my understanding of embodiment (why it matters and what it is for) and share how two decades of navel-gazing conditioned me to be complacent in the face of injustice. I catch us up on some current events, then share a riveting interview with Dr. Lesa Clark, a strategic leader in intercultural engagement and equity. Lesa shares personal stories from her family's history and how they shaped a lifelong commitment to social justice. She and I discuss embodied leadership, the importance of integrity (vs. performativity) in DEI initiatives, and the need for collective action and courage to confront oppressive systems. Lesa speaks to the complex interplay between leadership and followership, inviting us to break free from groupthink and to embody values that foster societal change. The discussion concludes with reflections on resilience, allyship, and the pursuit of justice.Dr. Lesa C. Clark is a strategic leader with expertise in intercultural engagement, leadership development, and equity. With over 20 years of experience, she empowers organizations and individuals to cultivate inclusive cultures that prioritize diversity and facilitate authentic cross-cultural engagement. As the former Executive Director for Intercultural Relations and Women's and Gender Equity Centers at Old Dominion University, Dr. Clark spearheaded collaborative campus-wide DEI initiatives. She developed and instructed courses centered on cultural humility, connecting this framework to cultural competency and emotional intelligence. She recently completed a three-year research project that foregrounds the leadership of Black birth workers, a designation frequently overlooked in both academic literature and professional settings. Dr. Lesa Clark demonstrates how culturally grounded ancestral practices challenge and dismantle harmful practices, advancing more responsive and equitable maternal healthcare. Additionally, her work explores the leadership of Black women in Kenya, South Africa, and the United States, offering a comprehensive, global, and historical analysis of intersectional leadership and advocacy. Dr. Clark has advanced intersectional leadership paradigms that promote inclusion, respect, and equity, envisioning and enabling the development of systems and communities in which all members are empowered to flourish, thrive, and lead effectively.Referenced In This Episode:How To Stand Up to a Dictator, by Maria RessaACLU - Neglect & Abuse in ICE DetentionAnthony Boyd - Equal Justice InitiativeDr. Resmaa Menakem - Somatic AbolitionismTo Stop a Tyrant, by Ira Chaleff Donna Ladkin - On EmbodimentSupport the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

#179 - Lesa Burgess never imagined that falling in love with a basketball player would lead her across nine countries over eleven years, building a family of seven while navigating cultural labyrinths few Americans ever experience. Her memoir "Behind the Bench" pulls back the curtain on what looks like a glamorous life to reveal something far more compelling—a story of resilience, adaptation, and finding yourself when everything familiar has been left behind.From giving birth in Turkey with no pain medication (total hospital bill: $275) to teaching her 6'11" husband how to drive a stick shift in Ukraine while pregnant, Lisa's adventures defy conventional understanding. "People are kind of like, 'Oh, this sounds so glamorous and amazing,'" she explains, "and you're just like, 'You have no idea what this is.'" Her stories traverse the spectrum from terrifying (being locked out of her apartment with no way to communicate) to triumphant (surprising her husband at championship games despite seemingly impossible logistics).What resonates most powerfully is Lesa's journey from college soccer player with a clear identity to finding purpose in a supporting role that often left her feeling invisible. "It was hard for me to feel seen when people were constantly asking me about Chris and his career," she admits. The transformation wasn't immediate—it took years of introspection to recognize the vital importance of her contributions. "I started feeling like his successes were also mine," she shares, a perspective that became crucial to navigating their unconventional life together.Throughout these challenges, faith served as Lisa's anchor, especially during the many times Chris was traveling while she managed their growing family alone in foreign countries where she couldn't speak the language. Her experience offers wisdom for anyone facing unexpected turns: "You are strong enough... It's going to be messy, it's not going to look like the path that you see in your head, and that's okay."Ready to experience this extraordinary journey for yourself? Grab Lesa's memoir "Behind the Bench" on Amazon or at BehindTheBenchBookstore.com and discover how adventure, when embraced with courage and faith, transforms challenges into the most meaningful chapters of our lives.Visit LandPirate.com to get your gear that has you, the adventurer, in mind.
