Suki Waterhouse is a singer-songwriter, actress, and model from London. She released her first single in 2016, and her first album, I Can't Let Go, in 2022, on Sub Pop. You might have seen her in the show Daisy Jones & The Six, which came out in 2023. Since then, she's also had her first child, with her partner Robert Pattinson. And all of that history figured into her new album, Loveland. For this episode, Suki told me about how she made the song “Back in Love” with her longtime collaborators, producer Jules Apollinaire and songwriter Natalie Findlay. "Back in Love" was the first single from her album, but it was the last song that was written for it.For more info, visit songexploder.net/suki-waterhouse.
Gettysburg is remembered as the bloodiest battle ever fought on American soil. More than 51,000 men became casualties in just three days. But when the armies marched away, they left behind far more than broken fences and shattered lives. Hospitals overflowed with the dying. Mass graves disappeared beneath the earth. Families returned to homes stained with blood. Today, visitors still report phantom soldiers, silent field hospitals, mysterious figures among the rocks of Devil's Den, and an elevator that seems to open onto the summer of 1863. Tonight, we separate history from folklore and explore why Gettysburg remains America's most haunted battlefield.

Scaling a financial advisory practice often forces a choice between capping growth or building a large, people-heavy infrastructure. Today's guest challenges that conventional wisdom, pulling back the curtain on how he scaled his firm to nearly $2 million in revenue with only one recent full-time hire. Ryan Townsley is the owner of Town Capital, an RIA based in Bel Air, Maryland, that oversees approximately $200 million in assets under management across 155 client households. In this episode, Ryan shares how he shattered traditional solo advisor capacity limits by aggressively outsourcing non-client-facing operations like IT, compliance, and trading management. He breaks down the precise mechanics of his "time segmentation" retirement income portfolios, why he implements a mandatory client "slush fund," and how he utilizes a deeply integrated AI tech stack to automate meeting prep, draft workflows, and systematically build standard operating procedures out of his everyday client interactions.

In July 1831, the whaleship Mentor sailed out of New Bedford Harbor with 22 men aboard, hoping to strike it rich hunting sperm whales in the Pacific. They never made it. Caught in a raging storm, the ship smashed into the remote island chain of Palau — and within hours, half the crew was dead.What followed is one of the most harrowing survival stories in American maritime history. In this episode, host Blaine DeSantis sits down with New York Times bestselling author Eric J. Dolin to unravel what happened to the men who lived: hostage negotiations demanding 200 guns, years of forced labor and starvation on a tiny island just one mile long, forced tattooing meant to absorb the castaways into island culture, daring escapes aboard passing ships, and a naval rescue mission ordered by President Andrew Jackson himself.Along the way, Dolin pulls back the curtain on the golden age of American whaling — the stench you could smell before you saw the ship, the teenage "green hands" who'd never been to sea, and why most whalemen came home with almost nothing to show for years of brutal work. He also shares how he pieced together this forgotten story from logbooks, journals, Palauan oral histories, and more than 100 rare illustrations from archives around the world.Only 7 of the 22 men ever made it home. This is their story.
In 2005, world champion bull rider Justin McBride heard seven words from his friend JW Hart just before the gate opened: "Whatever you do, just don't let go." Those words became the title of a song and serve as a fitting illustration of the Christian life.In this message we look at Hebrews 10:19–25, and we discover that believers are called to hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, not because we are strong, but because He who promised is faithful. Together we'll explore what it means to draw near to God with confidence, cling to His promises through every trial, and encourage one another to remain steadfast until Christ returns.No matter what you're facing today, this passage reminds us of one simple truth: Whatever you do... just don't let go.Send us Fan Mail Support the show
9-1-1 on the Rocks has survived its first shift, and unfortunately, Buck has already acquired significant workplace trauma.This week on 9-1-1 on the Rocks, we're covering 1x02, “Let Go,” an episode about all the ways people try to hold on when everything around them is falling apart. Buck learns that wanting to save someone doesn't mean he can, Abby welcomes the relentlessly competent Carla Price into her home and immediately recruits her as a best friend and romantic adviser, and Athena tries to keep her family functioning while Michael's revelation continues to crack it open.Also on this episode:Buck's first devastating loss on the job and why “I will not let you go” tells us almost everything we need to know about him.Season one's startlingly dark discussions of suicide, grief, isolation, and the limits of what first responders can protect people from.Angela Bassett delivering a performance so raw it changes the temperature of the entire show.It's heavy. It's messy. Carla is already running the place, and Buck Buckley has officially begun collecting trauma like it's part of his LAFD benefits package.xoxo,Fandom on the Rocks
Send us Fan MailIntro:Welcome to Rational Black Thought, the podcast where we examine politics, religion, culture, and power without superstition, without respectability politics, and without pretending that polite lies become truth because they are repeated on television.I am your host, Michael, your Neo Griot, and this is Episode 291 of Rational Black Thought the Podcast, where we examine politics, religion and culture from a Black, progressive, secular and unapologetically rational perspective.This week's episode is titled "Let Go My Hand," taken from the J. Cole song of the same name.There is a line in that song where Cole says, “Today my son said, "Dad, let go my hand"Reminded me one day he's gonna be his own man.” And that line has stayed with me because it captures something deeper than growing up. It captures the moment when a person realizes that dependence—whether on God, on institutions, on political leaders, or on tradition—has become a barrier to development.Children need someone to hold their hands. That is not a moral failing; it is a biological necessity. We need parents and teachers and guardians to keep us from walking into traffic, from touching hot stoves, from making decisions we do not yet have the experience to understand. But childhood is supposed to end.At some point, you have to learn to walk without somebody else deciding where your feet go.That is true physically, and it is also true intellectually, politically, and spiritually. Human beings are uncomfortable with uncertainty. We want somebody to tell us what is true, what is right, what the future holds, and what we are supposed to do with our lives. Religion gives that authority to God. Authoritarian politics gives it to a strongman. Political parties give it to institutions. Tradition gives it to the dead. And sometimes we just give it to whoever seems confident enough to pretend they have all the answers.The problem is not that we accept help. Nobody becomes fully human alone. We depend on families, teachers, scientists, doctors, neighbors, institutions, and generations of accumulated knowledge. The problem begins when assistance becomes submission. When leadership becomes obedience. When trust becomes faith. When community becomes conformity. When you stop asking whether something is true and start asking whether the person saying it has enough authority to command your belief.Intellectual adulthood requires a different relationship with authority. I can respect expertise without worshipping the expert. I can belong to a community without surrendering my conscience. I can learn from tradition without becoming trapped by it. And I can admit that I do not know something without feeling the need to fill the empty space with God.The title of this episode is not an argument for radical individualism. It is an argument for responsibility. It is an argument that human beings must stop outsourcing our thinking, our morality, and our political agency to invisible gods and visible strongmen. Because at some point, you have to decide whether you are prepared to walk on your own principles—and, more importantly, whether you can keep walking when those principles come with a cost.Let us get into it.Quote of the Week: Frederick Douglass Unmasking the News: Democracy Watch: Lindsey Graham, or How a Man Surrenders His PrinciplesTrump's Iran War, or the Difference Between Unpredictability and Strategy The Christian Persecution Narrative, or When Privilege Puts on a Victim's Costume Good News: Black Boys Building the Future, One Layer at a Time Bible Study with an Atheist: Let Go My Hand: What the Bible Says About Human Autonomy Reflections and Call to Action:Closing/Outro: Power Concedes Nothing without a Demand...
Most people who know the Enneagram know their type. Fewer know their Basic Fear. And even fewer have sat with it long enough to understand why knowing your basic fear is so important. In this episode — the second in our Enneagram Essentials series — Anthony and I go beneath the type descriptions and into the motivational core of the system: the nine Basic Fears and their counterparts, the nine Basic Desires. These are the engine underneath every pattern the Enneagram describes. We go through all nine — what each type is running from, what it's running toward, and what it actually looks like when that fear is in the driver's seat. I also share something personal about what the fear of being ordinary has looked like in my own life as a Four. And we close with a practical practice you can start this week — one that will tell you more about your type than most assessments will. If you've been wondering why the Enneagram sometimes feels like it's describing your behavior but not quite explaining it, this is the episode. The explanation lives here. **This episode is part of the Enneagram Essentials series. Start with Episode 1 if you're new — it's a listener mailbag covering the basics and framing the series.

Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton
This week, Ruth is joined by retired pastor and spiritual director Bill Shereos for a conversation about aging and diminishment as God-ordained realities. Prompted by the deaths of close friends and family, Bill reflects on accepting physical limitation, resisting a cultural bias that sidelines older people, and learning dependence as a spiritual practice. They discuss transitions as “running with the baton,” the importance of grieving (especially for leaders who officiate funerals), and how accompanying parents in death awakens daily awareness of mortality and the possibility of “giving away” one's death. Bill names a shift toward smaller spaces, simplicity, and contemplative prayer, while Ruth reframes medical care and strengthening the body as ways to glorify God. On Substack this week, Ruth and Bill talk about ageism and ways churches and communities can begin to heal it. Season 29 is titled Becoming Human: With God in Our Bodies. Our goals this season are to confront the dualism between life in the body and life in the spirit, to hear stories of people who experienced their bodies as a place of encounter with God, and to explore the connection between the integration of life in our bodies and our spiritual lives with our leadership. We will be having deep, spiritual conversations with friends of the Transforming Center about their very human experiences in their bodies and how they've experienced God in and throughout these experiences. We will explore God in concrete bodily realities like gender, sexuality, race, ability, aging, illness, and death, to name a few. Mentioned in the Episode: Insane for the Light, by Ron Rolheiser Aging Faithfully: The Holy Invitation of Growing Older, by Alice Fryling Psychology says the reason older people stop caring isn't apathy- it's actually the highest form of self-awareness A Confession and Reconciliation for Our Aging Bodies by Reverend Leanne Clausen-Demonte Music: Kingdom Come by Aaron Niequist Yesterday Today Forever from Music in Solitude We're on Substack! “On the Journey with the Transforming Center” is our home for “reflection, conversation, and connection with our transforming community.” It includes thoughtful reflections from Ruth Haley Barton and the Transforming Center team, as well as alumni and friends of the Transforming Center, occasional special video teachings and guided practices, and space to interact with our content and respond with how God is working in your life through the posts.

A new Bigfoot sighting in California has reignited one of the most enduring mysteries in the paranormal world. A woman reported seeing an approximately eight-foot-tall, hairy creature while dropping off her grandson at a summer camp in the Sierra National Forest—a region that has produced Bigfoot reports for decades. In this solo episode of Truth Be Told with Tony Sweet, we examine the details of this latest encounter and explore why the Sierra Nevada continues to be one of North America's most active Bigfoot hotspots. Is it simply a vast wilderness where misidentifications are more likely, or is there something about these mountains that has inspired generations of eyewitness accounts? We'll also explore Native American traditions describing mysterious forest beings, review historical sightings from hikers, hunters, and campers, discuss the leading scientific and paranormal theories surrounding Bigfoot, and ask whether this latest report is another case of mistaken identity—or another piece of a much larger puzzle. Could an undiscovered species still be living in one of California's most remote wilderness areas? Or is the Sierra National Forest home to a mystery that continues to challenge everything we think we know? Join the conversation and decide for yourself. What do you think the witness saw?

Send us Fan MailPruning can feel like loss until you realize it is actually room being made for growth. We get personal about what it looks like when God starts cutting back the things we rely on, the busywork we hide in, and even the “good” options that keep us from a clear, focused calling. Stephanie opens up about the behind-the-scenes shifts in her health coaching business, from financial stewardship to time stewardship, and how simplifying her systems gives her more capacity to serve people well without burning out. We also go deeper on a topic that touches nearly every family: metabolic health. If you have brain fog, low energy, stubborn middle weight gain, gut issues, or you have heard words like insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, or prediabetes, this conversation brings both hope and a plan. We talk about why inflammation often sits underneath the symptoms, why many people leave the doctor's office with a diagnosis but no real roadmap, and why identifying your personal “pattern” matters before you chase protocols. This is faith-based wellness with practical science, built for real life, not perfection. Stephanie shares the simple path she is building to help clients reverse the “metabolic mess” early, including a new workshop focused on understanding how you got here, plus step-by-step coaching and tools like continuous glucose monitoring for personalized insight. We zoom out to the bigger takeaway too: when God leads, the next step can feel uncomfortable, but pruning can be the exact thing that creates space for better health, better relationships, and better fruit. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more women can find faith-first guidance for metabolic health and sustainable healing. We're so glad you're here. In this quick pause, Melissa shares why Heart & Soul Elevation exists, how Stephanie's and Melissa's coaching work together beautifully, and what you can expect along the way.

Today I'm welcoming on Dr. Fred Moss to talk about how we can let go of our self imposed labels and live as ourselves without the bullshit. We dive into why fear keeps up stuck in these labels and from moving forward and how to release the labels without blowing up your life. We have a deeply philosophical conversation about who we are at the core and how we can show up more as that person everyday. Dr. Fred Moss, a distinguished graduate of Northwestern University Medical School, stands as a dedicated figure in the field of psychiatry, with a career that spans nearly four decades. He serves as a beacon of hope as a "non-diagnosing psychiatrist". In his own words, Dr. Fred believes that communication, connection, creativity, and self-expression are core to all healing, not just in mental health but in every aspect of life. His unwavering commitment to these principles shapes a legacy that continues to impact and transform lives, echoing the essence that, as we are, we are whole and perfect. ***************Find Us:Dr. Fred Moss:https://welcometohumanity.net/Instagram:@jacquelinebrubaker@loveyouevenmorepodcastTikTok:@thejacquelinebrubaker@loveyouevenmorepodcastWebsite:https://loveyouevenmore.com/https://www.jackiebrubaker.com/If you enjoy romantic coming-of-age stories filled with heart, ambition, and the highs and lows of chasing a music career, That Girl is the perfect beach read.

Brief Summary Kari Warberg Block joins Gary Frey and Ben McDonald to share her anything-but-typical journey from growing up in an entrepreneurial family to founding EarthKind, a nationally recognized plant-based pest-prevention company. Kari discusses the near-death experience that changed the direction of her life, the challenges of creating a new product category, and why she temporarily removed her products from major retailers to protect customer trust. She also shares how she learned to release control, build a diverse leadership team, and transition out of the CEO role without selling her company.

In this episode, I sit down with my husband, Rabbi Yonasan Reiser, to explore four personality elements—fire, air, water, and earth—focusing on the complexity of Earth types: deep thinkers and feelers who often hold onto experiences long after others have moved on . I explain why Focusing is uniquely effective for Earth types. Unlike rigid modalities, Focusing is client-led; when a therapist misses the mark, the Earth type's deep internal attunement allows them to immediately identify the mismatch and correct it, creating a powerful sense of being understood . We conclude by discussing the "felt shift," what happens in the nervous system when words finally match our pre-verbal sense, and the Earth identity paradox, where non-Earth types often claim the label while many Earth types struggle to recognize themselves . ------------------------------- If this episode resonated with you, I recommend Get Along With Everyone: Especially Those You Find Most Challenging by Rabbi Shimon Gruen. This is the book I referenced when talking about the four element types — it's the framework that shaped how I think about fire, air, water, and earth, and why certain people seem so different from everyone around them. If you're a practitioner and you're starting to see your clients through this lens, or if you recognized yourself as an Earth and want to understand that more deeply, this is where to go next.

We're talking about the sneaky way old identities cling to us, even after we've healed, evolved, and built a life that proves we're different now. I start with a rare quiet moment, a big love letter to this community, and a reminder that self-confidence isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you are and letting that version of you take up space again.We also dig into practical tools for identity change: getting clear on the new version of you, catching your automatic “auto-reply” thoughts, and practicing a redo in real time. I share a helpful Human Design angle, the G Center or identity center, and how it can explain why some of us feel steady while others shapeshift around different people. Then we tackle comparison and social media boundaries with my favorite metaphor: we all have different microwaves, so stop timing your growth by someone else's clock.If you're ready to crumple up a label that no longer fits and let the real you lead, press play.

Comparison can quietly steal our joy, making us focus on someone else's journey instead of our own. Today's meditation is an invitation to release comparison, celebrate your unique path and appreciate how far you've already come.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Highly sensitive people often find it difficult to let go of conversations, criticism, conflict, disappointment, mistakes, or emotionally intense experiences. Even when the situation is technically over, your mind may keep replaying what happened, and your nervous system may still feel activated.If you've ever wondered why you can't “just get over it,” this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening beneath the surface.For highly sensitive people, letting go is not simply a mental decision. Because sensitive nervous systems process deeply, emotionally significant experiences may stay active in the body and mind long after they've ended. What looks like overthinking, rumination, or holding on may actually be your nervous system trying to find resolution, safety, or completion.In this episode, we explore why highly sensitive people stay engaged with experiences longer than they want to, why unfinished emotional loops can keep the nervous system activated, and what your body may need in order to truly move forward.You'll learn:• why “just let it go” is rarely helpful advice for highly sensitive people• how deep processing affects emotional recovery• why the nervous system can stay engaged after a stressful experience is over• how unfinished loops contribute to overthinking and rumination• why stress cycles need completion• what helps sensitive nervous systems feel supported, settled, and safe enough to releaseThis episode is especially supportive if you struggle with overthinking, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, rumination, people-pleasing, nervous system dysregulation, or feeling like you stay affected by things longer than other people seem to.If you'd like a supportive space to practice nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and self-trust in community, I'd love to invite you to explore my Rooted Resilience Membership Circle.Rooted Resilience is a gentle membership community for highly sensitive people who want to calm anxiety, regulate their nervous systems, build resilience, and come home to themselves through live gatherings, guided practices, and ongoing support.Learn more here:https://yogiranger.com/rooted-resilienceYou may also enjoy these Insight Timer practices:Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Reset & Deep Rest:https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-nervous-system-reset-deep-rest_1Yoga Nidra for Highly Sensitive People: Burnout Recovery:https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-highly-sensitive-people-burnout-recoveryNew to the podcast?

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. Sometimes the most healing thing you can do is pause and rest.

Perfect for mental health support, anxiety relief, relaxation, and deep sleep. Love,
What do you do when God speaks a word over your life? In this compelling series, Dr. Jerry Savelle shares why prophetic words are meant to be more than encouraging moments—they are invitations to believe bigger, expect more, and stay focused on what God has promised. As Dr. Savelle unpacks biblical truths and personal experiences, you'll discover how to respond to God's Word with faith and confidence, even when circumstances try to tell a different story. Hold onto what God has said and position yourself to experience all He has in store for your future.
Have you ever apologized, changed your behavior, taken responsibility… yet someone still refuses to let go of your past? Maybe every disagreement somehow circles back to the same mistake. Maybe you've spent years trying to rebuild trust, only to find yourself defending who you used to be instead of discussing what's happening today. In this episode of The Positivity Xperience, we're exploring the psychology behind resentment, identity, shame, and why some people become emotionally attached to your worst moments. We'll discuss confirmation bias, cognitive dissonance, moral superiority, and why your growth can actually become threatening to someone who has built their story around who you used to be. You'll learn why some people freeze your identity at your lowest point, why resentment changes the way the brain interprets future behavior, and the critical difference between accountability and permanent punishment. We'll also explore when holding someone accountable becomes emotional leverage, how shame keeps you trapped in an identity you've already outgrown, and why healthy relationships leave room for both responsibility and redemption. If you've ever felt like no matter how much you've changed, someone continues to define you by your past, this episode will help you understand what's happening psychologically—and how to stop carrying an identity that no longer belongs to you. Because healthy relationships make room for accountability. Unhealthy relationships make room for permanent punishment. At some point, you have to ask yourself: Am I rebuilding trust… or am I serving a life sentence inside this relationship? In this episode we discuss: Why some people refuse to let go of your past The psychology of resentment and confirmation bias Why people freeze your identity at your worst moment Cognitive dissonance and why your growth makes others uncomfortable Accountability versus shame The difference between forgiveness and rebuilding trust Moral superiority and emotional power dynamics How resentment changes future interactions When repeated punishment becomes emotional manipulation How to stop defining yourself by your worst mistake Become A Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepositivityxperience Let's work together: www.thepositivityxperience.com
Hi, Sleepy.Tonight we begin in the benigning, which is not a word, but it might be a place. A small Swedish-English place where I stand with my pockets full of half-working words, wondering if I have enough of them to carry us through the night.From there we somehow move toward a forest, an axe, my dad, and that old strange fear that maybe there is something wrong with me in a way no one has noticed yet. But before that gets too serious, there is also a terrible podcast called Grunts from the Gym, some thoughts about heavy-breathing strangers, and me sneaking into a Pilates class, standing in the back, trying to love myself even though I'm not very good at it.This is an episode about doing things badly. About going to classes just to be close to your teenager. About watching your parents' world become smaller and fearing that your own might one day do the same. And then, near the end, it becomes just you and me, Sleepy. Awake while everyone else is busy building strange dream-treehouses with their ex-bosses.A small room in the middle of the night. You're allowed to be human here. You're allowed to fall asleep.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/HenrikstahlCause of summer leave, this episode is a rerun from one of the older favourite episodes. Brand new episode coming next week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Are you exhausted from trying to "fix" everyone and everything in your life? In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend, yoga mentor, and author Elena Brower to discuss why letting go is the ultimate act of self-love. We've been conditioned to think that love means fixing, controlling, or "managing" the people around us. But what if the most powerful thing you could do is simply hold space? In this episode, Elena Brower—bestselling author of Hold Nothing: An Invitation to Let Go and Come Home to Yourself—shares her profound journey from high-functioning perfectionism to a life of presence and service.

Send us Fan Mail "The key is letting go. The key isn't holding on, the key is letting go. And so I realized if I wanted to move in a new direction in my life, I had to let go of some of these things in the past." ~ Chris AveryChris Avery spent the first part of his life battling the dark shadows of childhood molestation, physical abuse, and a 17-year addiction to drugs and alcohol. Realizing he needed to change his trajectory, Chris immersed himself in personal development, faith, and mentorship, ultimately transforming his life and achieving sobriety. Today, Chris is a dedicated coach, husband, and father. He is currently preparing for a monumental physical and mental feat: starting January 1, 2027, Chris will run the entire perimeter of the United States, completing an ultra-marathon (31.1 miles) every single day for 365 days.Key Discussion Highlights & TakeawaysThe Power of Environment: How Chris found sobriety by changing his circle, attending leadership events, and listening to over 10,000 hours of personal development audio. Redefining Forgiveness: Why Chris views forgiveness as a tool for his own freedom rather than for the perpetrator, and how seeing the humanity in others helped heal his deep anger. Shattering Limiting Beliefs: The incredible story of how Chris ran a full 26.2-mile marathon with absolutely zero training just to prove that our minds hold us back more than our physical abilities. The "One Mile" Strategy: How Chris built the discipline to run around America by setting a goal so small—running just one mile a day—that it was impossible to fail. The 5-Minute Marriage Hack: The simple nightly gratitude journaling practice Chris and his wife used for a year to save their struggling marriage and shift their focus to love and appreciation. ⏱️ Show Timestamps & Chapter Markings 00:00:00 - Welcome to The Remarkable People Podcast00:02:21 - Sponsor Read: Upgrade Your Truck with Maxzina00:03:44 - Chris Avery's Origin Story: Childhood Trauma & Abuse00:08:14 - 17 Years of Drug and Alcohol Addiction00:11:57 - The Turning Point: Finding Mentors & Personal Development00:16:12 - Stepping into Leadership & Finding Sobriety00:27:00 - How to Truly Forgive and Let Go of the Past00:43:00 - Moving to Utah & A Crazy Marathon Proposition00:48:45 - Running a Marathon with Zero Training to Break Limiting Beliefs00:52:19 - The Next Massive Goal: Running the Perimeter of America00:54:12 - Starting Small: Building Trust with One Mile a Day01:03:00 - How a 5-Minute Nightly Gratitude Journal Saved Chris's Marriage01:08:48 - Connect with Chris: chrisrunsamerica.comTo watch the full episode and get all special offers and details, visit our official website at https://DavidPasqualone.com/ChrisAvery now!

#354: This month's solo episode is a little different — I walked into the studio with zero plan, and that felt pretty on brand for where I'm at right now.With the visibility series wrapped, solo episodes are back to being just me, unscripted, telling you the truth about what's going on. And the truth is: my life outside of work is genuinely thriving — three years in New York, a community I actually love, a summer that's off to a great start — while my career is a big puzzle I just haven't been able to solve.Instead of faking it, I'm giving you the real, current-state version of where my head's at, and introducing what I'm calling my "lucky girl summer" — a season built around releasing instead of pushing, for once.What we're getting into:Why I'm trying a "lucky girl summer" — a season of letting go instead of grinding, and what that means when your whole identity has been built on work ethicThe honest split between my career and my personal life right now, and why burnout hits different when you haven't "made it" yetWhat rest and ease can look like when you genuinely can't afford to take your foot all the way off the gasRedefining luck — not as hitting one specific number, but as always finding a way to figure it outThis episode is for you if…You've got one part of your life thriving and another part completely stuck, and you're tired of pretending everything's fine across the board.You've built your identity around hustle and work ethic and are starting to wonder what happens when that stops being enough.You grew up without a lot and are still figuring out how to carry that history into the person you're becoming.You're craving permission to not have a plan right now and to trust you'll figure it out anyway.You want a wider definition of luck — and success — than just hitting a number.Sponsors:Nuuly: Get $28 off your first month of Nuuly clothing rental at https://www.nuuly.com using the promo code LUCKY.IM8: Go to https://www.IM8health.com/lucky and use code LUCKY for a free welcome kit, five free travel packs, and 10% off your order.Rula: Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.
