Grounded Positivity: Choosing to Rise Beyond the DarknessIn a world full of "toxic positivity" that tells you to just smile through the pain, it can be hard to find real hope. True positivity isn't about ignoring life's struggles; it is the grounded, honest, and sustainable kind. It is acknowledging the hard days while still remembering that you are allowed to look forward to the future.In today's session, we explore how to retune our perspective and anchor ourselves to genuine joy. Using a calming 4-2-6 breathing practice, we will intentionally release the negative anchors of the past and the heavy weight of expectations. We take up the space we deserve, open our minds to deep relaxation, and choose to rise—not perfectly, and not without difficulty, but with courage. Find a comfortable place, drop your shoulders, and allow these reassuring truths to land in the sanctuary of your mind.Building Our Sanctuary: An Update on the "Anchored" AppI have been incredibly moved and deeply emotional over the staggering support for our upcoming mobile app, Anchored.

Softly tell yourself, "There is that thought again," and allow it to drift past your mind like a cloud in the sky.Productivity-Free Joy: Intentionally do one thing today purely because it brings a smile to your face.

Join the Restore Program: https://thehasociety.com/restore-liveRomi did everything “right.” She worked out. She ate clean. She was disciplined, knowledgeable, and praised for it. And still...her period disappeared.In this episode, Romi shares what it actually looked like to unravel years of restriction disguised as health, control disguised as discipline, and an identity built around being the “fit, healthy girl.” Her journey wasn't fast. It wasn't linear. And it didn't fit neatly into a 10-week recovery "timeline", but that's exactly why her story matters.We talk about low energy availability that hides behind salads and productivity, binge eating that was really just hunger, the fear of eating more and resting more, and the deep resistance that comes up when healing asks you to let go of who you've been praised for being. Romi opens up about body changes, grief around muscle loss, developing body image for the first time, and the quiet but powerful moment when her body finally felt safe enough to ovulate again.This episode is for the woman who feels stuck even though she's “trying.” For the one whose labs aren't moving, whose body won't respond on command, and who secretly wonders if she's broken. Romi's story is a reminder that recovery is not just about food and exercise, it's about trust, identity, and learning how to stop micromanaging your body long enough to let it heal.If you've ever thought, “Why is this taking so long?” or “Why can't I just fix this?”- this one is for you.Restore Your Fertility Group Programhttps://www.thehasociety.com/restore-liveJoin The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffJool Wellnesshttps://joolwellness.comFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/https://www.instagram.com/abbylowekey/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In this week's episode, I'm sitting down with Brent Turner, founder of Agri-Generational and author of Piece of Land, for a conversation that I honestly think every farm and ranch family needs to hear. We dive into the realities of succession planning, why so many families avoid these conversations, and what's actually at stake when there's no clear plan in place. Brent shares how his background in financial planning and decades of working alongside agricultural families led him to focus exclusively on helping farms and ranches navigate transition, continuity, and legacy. We also talk about the emotional side of succession, the different “hats” operators wear inside a business, and why the role of “chief wisdom officer” may be one of the most important positions in a family operation. More than anything, this episode is about building something that lasts, empowering the next generation, and making sure the future of your operation is determined by design instead of default. Whether you're actively involved in succession conversations or hoping to create something different for your own family one day, this episode is packed with perspective and practical takeaways.Be sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!Connect with BrentVisit the Agri-Generational websiteConnect with Jessie:Follow on Instagram @ofthewest.co and @mrsjjarvFollow on Facebook @jobsofthewestCheck out the Of The West websiteResources & Links:Agri-Generational QuizPeace of Land by Brent TurnerLonesome Dove by Larry McMurtryJoin The Directory Of The WestGet our FREE resource for Writing a Strong Job DescriptionGet our FREE resource for Making the Most of Your InternshipGet our FREE resource: 10 Resume Mistakes (and how to fix them)Get our FREE resource: How to Avoid the 7 Biggest Hiring Mistakes Employers MakeEmail us at hello@ofthewest.coSubscribe to Of The West's ⁠NewslettersList your jobs on ⁠Of The WestMentioned in this episode:Click below to see Open Jobs on Of The West Open Jobs on Of The West

In this episode, Meg Bomley shares her T1D journey from being diagnosed at 18 years old and spending eight years on MDI without a CGM, to becoming someone who feels deeply empowered in her body and her diabetes.Meg first came on the podcast in 2022 after graduating from Risely coaching. At the time, she had just come out of a season of constant lows, burnout, and feeling completely overwhelmed after switching to a pump without the support she needed.Today, she's back as a nationally board certified health coach, and 35 weeks pregnant with type 1 diabetes, one of Risely's top coaches.The majority of this conversation is the reality of navigating pregnancy with T1D: the nausea, insulin resistance, fear of highs, changing carb ratios, and learning to trust yourself in this season.WHAT WE COVER:Why Meg resisted pumps and CGMs for nearly 8 years after diagnosisThe “biggest disaster ever” that happened when she first switched to a pumpWhat finally helped her stop feeling resistant, overwhelmed, and burnt out with diabetesHow coaching helped her uncover mindset blocks that had nothing to do with insulin or carb countingThe first sign Meg noticed that told her her insulin resistance was changing after getting pregnantHow she managed nausea, vomiting, insulin on board, and eating mostly carbs during pregnancyThe difference between taking 5 units for oatmeal pre-pregnancy vs. 16 units during pregnancyWhat it's actually like mentally to watch yourself take “large amounts of insulin” every dayWHAT'S NEXT:

This is the 6th part of the Pruning Season Series This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. “Pruning was never the point. The fruit is.”  — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Everyone talks about what you lose in a pruning season. The clients. The revenue. The identity. The certainty. But almost no one prepares you for what happens next. Because the truth is, the most important part of pruning is not what you release. It's what starts growing that you cannot see yet. And if you've been questioning whether the cut was worth it, if you've been sitting in the silence wondering if you made a mistake, this episode is going to shift everything for you. Because you're not behind. You're not off track. You're in the exact moment where what you've been praying for is finally taking root. If you are a six- or seven-figure CEO coming out of a season of release, recalibration, or reinvention and you are wondering if it was worth it, this episode will give you your answer. In part six of the Pruning Season series, Dr. Darnyelle reveals what actually grows after the cut and why the gap between release and renewal is where everything begins. We explore business reinvention, CEO identity evolution, aligned revenue, leadership capacity, nervous system regulation, and how to recognize the fruit that is already forming in your life and business. Here's the truth: the fruit does not show up immediately after the cut. There is always a gap. And in that gap, nothing looks like it's working, but everything is moving. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of the five types of fruit that grow after pruning, how to recognize them in real time, and how to protect what is emerging so you don't sabotage your next level before it fully forms.  Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to recognize the signs that your pruning season is producing results ✔ How to identify aligned opportunities, clients, and revenue after release ✔ How to protect new growth without rushing or forcing it ✔And so much more This episode is a call to shift your focus from what you lost to what is growing. It challenges you to stop measuring your progress by what's visible and start trusting what is being built beneath the surface.. This is your invitation to stop second-guessing the decisions you made in your pruning season and start recognizing the evidence that something new is already taking shape. To trust the process even when it doesn't look like progress yet.

How Resentment Quietly Builds In this episode of The Liberated Life Podcast, Robin Keehn opens a new conversation about what happens underneath our relationships — especially when something needed to be said, but wasn't. Resentment does not usually arrive all at once. It accumulates. A tone. A look. A changed plan. A moment of being overlooked. A “yes” that should have been a “no.” None of these may seem dramatic on its own, but together they begin to form a story. Robin shares how resentment often grows in the space between what happened and what was never spoken. She introduces the idea of an Open Loop — something unfinished, incomplete, or outdated that continues draining your time, energy, and peace — and an Unspoken Broken, a relational loop that stays open because it was never named. You'll hear why resentment is not always proof that the other person is bad. Sometimes it is a signal that something remains unfinished. In this episode, Robin talks about:  How resentment quietly accumulates over time Why small moments can carry a surprising amount of weight The difference between truly releasing something and simply not bringing it up How “always” and “never” stories begin to form in relationships Why unspoken moments become Open Loops What an Unspoken Broken is and why it matters How to begin with “Here's what I've noticed” instead of an accusation The two questions to ask before having a hard conversation: Why am I sharing this?What do I actually want here? Why closing one loop can begin to restore your time, energy, and peace “Resentment is interest on a debt nobody named.” Where have you gone quiet — and what has that silence been costing you? Want a place to start? Download Robin's free tool, Close One Loop, and walk through one open loop from start to finish in just a few minutes. Go to: closetheloopsnow.com/tool You'll also be the first to hear about Robin's upcoming five-day challenge at the end of June. If this episode resonated with you, you might enjoy our free People Skillz community — a structured space to practice steadier, more intentional communication. We also created a short Communication Patterns Quiz to help you identify how you respond under pressure. You'll find both here.

What if success was never really about the money, the funnels, or the strategies? In this deeply personal and powerful episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and transformation coach Liz Benny for a conversation that goes far beyond business tactics. Together, they unpack identity, healing, purpose, entrepreneurship, and what it truly means to live a wealthy life on your own terms. Liz shares the unexpected beginnings of her entrepreneurial mindset, from mowing lawns on her family's rose farm in New Zealand to navigating MLMs, learning online marketing, building successful businesses, and eventually creating her “Kapow” philosophy centered around connection, alignment, purpose, ownership, and wealth. But this episode is about more than entrepreneurship. It is about the internal work required to sustain growth. Liz opens up about battling perfectionism, depression, people-pleasing, and the pressure of external validation while learning how to fully embrace who she is without dimming her light for others. Tyler and Liz also explore future self identity, subconscious blocks, emotional healing, leadership, and why so many entrepreneurs feel disconnected even after achieving outward success. This conversation will challenge the way you think about wealth, success, and personal growth while reminding you that the greatest breakthroughs often come from reconnecting with yourself first. What You'll Learn How Liz Benny's entrepreneurial journey began on a rose farm in New Zealand The biggest lessons she learned from MLM and online marketing Why understanding the “rules of the game” matters in business How she built her first successful online business and scaled it The story behind her “Kapow” philosophy and what it really means Why entrepreneurs often struggle with external validation The four core connections every entrepreneur needs to thrive How identity shapes income, leadership, and personal growth Why future self work can accelerate business success The connection between perfectionism, burnout, and healing How subconscious beliefs can quietly limit growth and fulfillment Why authentic self-expression is essential for long-term happiness Chapters 00:00 Welcome to BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio 01:13 The Moment Liz Benny Realized She Was an Entrepreneur 03:10 Lessons Learned From MLM and Early Business Ventures 06:12 Building an Online Business Through Social Media Marketing 08:59 Discovering Russell Brunson and Scaling Online Success 11:30 The Meaning Behind Kapow and Creating True Wealth 14:31 The Struggle With External Validation 15:52 The Four Connections Every Entrepreneur Needs 18:42 Becoming Your Future Self Now 22:11 Mental Health, Perfectionism, and Healing 26:15 Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs 27:53 Building a Life You Actually Love 29:25 Where to Connect With Liz Benny 29:50 Final Thoughts for Entrepreneurs

187 Surviving with Laughter: Angela Nissel Talks Hospice and Healing Host Marie Betcher, a former hospice nurse, interviews writer and memoirist Angela Nissel about her book "Good Grief: Pass the Bread, Mom is Dead" and her mother's end-of-life journey. Angela describes a complicated, achievement-focused relationship with her RN mother, who hid advanced breast cancer and feared judgment for "giving up." Angela brought her to Los Angeles, expecting more treatment, but a doctor recommended hospice; her mother felt relief and was on hospice about six weeks. Angela shares what caregiving taught her, including learning to "just be her daughter," navigating pain medication fears, misconceptions that hospice hastens death, a brief end-of-life rally, and the value of dignity, trust-building, and services like 24/7 care and music therapy. She says hospice became their best, most connected time together and writing later helped her talk about death and grief. 00:00 Welcome and Disclaimer 00:35 Meet Angela Nissel 03:08 A Complicated Mother Daughter Bond 04:54 Caregiving Lessons in Hospice 07:53 Cancer Progression and Hospice Decision 10:26 Nurse Identity and Letting Go 11:55 Her Nursing Career and NICU Work 14:33 Grief Writing and Dark Humor 16:21 Siblings and Hiding Illness 19:24 Changing the Fight Cancer Narrative 22:12 Comfort Meds and Hospice Myths 25:21 Terminal Rally and 24 7 Care 29:44 Inside the Book and Hospice Journals 32:09 Final Reflections and Goodbye     If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice  Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.  Maire introduces a partnership with Suzanne Mayer RN inventor of the  cloud9caresystem.com,  When patients remain in the same position for extended periods, they are at high risk of developing pressure injuries, commonly known as bedsores.

In this solo episode, Travis breaks down some of the biggest lessons from his conversation with Josh Peck — actor, creator, author, and former Nickelodeon star best known for Drake & Josh. Travis dives into Josh's journey from child stardom to reinventing himself as a modern creator, including the struggles, rejection, ego death, and vulnerability that helped him stay relevant in Hollywood and online. The episode explores how authenticity, resilience, and embracing uncertainty can open the door to long-term success. On this episode we talk about: Why vulnerability and authenticity are critical for creators and entrepreneurs How ego can block growth and reinvention Josh Peck's transition from child actor to creator and Hollywood actor Why sharing your story before “making it” can create deeper impact The real meaning of money: freedom, flexibility, and options Learning to focus only on what you can control Top 3 Takeaways Vulnerability is not weakness — authenticity builds trust, connection, and longevity in both business and content creation. Reinvention requires ego death. Growth often means letting go of old identities, habits, and assumptions about yourself. Money is most valuable when it creates options and freedom, not just status or material possessions. Notable Quotes “You cannot get to the next version of yourself without shedding the prior version of yourself.” “Do the work, show up, and let the outcome be someone else's problem.” “Money is options, not things.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: @travischappell  Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: Are you ready to start your own creator journey and make it big?

What if the very thing you're afraid to remove is what's holding your restaurant back?Amanda Maneesilasan didn't plan to take over her family's restaurant. But when she did, she made a decision most operators avoid. She eliminated the familiar, stripped out the shortcuts, and rebuilt the menu around real, uncompromising Thai flavors. It cost her customers, consistency, and nearly her confidence.In this conversation, we get into what it takes to earn respect when you inherit leadership, how to navigate the financial and emotional pressure of a full menu overhaul, and why cooking for yourself—not the market—is often the only path to standing out.This is for operators who know they're capable of more, but aren't sure the risk is worth it.To learn more about her work and experience her take on authentic Thai cuisine, visit chaokrungthai.com and banbanburger.com._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

Episode 3014: Dr. Jack Stoltzfus explores the shared emotional struggles between parents and young adults during the difficult transition into independence, emphasizing that suffering, love, and the desire for a fulfilling future are deeply mutual experiences. Drawing inspiration from Kate Bowler's reflections on vulnerability and hardship, he offers a compassionate perspective that encourages empathy, patience, and deeper connection instead of blame or frustration. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://parentslettinggo.com/suffering-and-other-qualities-parents-share-with-young-adults/ Quotes to ponder: “We need to know that as parents, we hurt because they hurt, but we will be there for them, no matter what.” “Parents are anxious, frustrated, fearful, and helpless to know how to move their son or daughter toward adulthood.” “A third commonality between parents and young adults is that both want the young adult to be happy, successful, and fulfilled.” Episode references: Of Boys and Men: https://www.brookings.edu/books/of-boys-and-men/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Ginny Priem is a number one bestselling author, master certified coach, top keynote speaker, and host of the “Unsubscribe” podcast. She spent more than 20 years in corporate leadership and nearly 20 years in the medical aesthetics industry before turning those hard lessons into a movement.

How do you hold on… while also learning to let go? In this episode, I sit down with author and military spouse Lindsay Swoboda to talk about the ongoing reality of navigating change throughout military life. From early marriage and career pivots to overseas moves, motherhood, and eventually military retirement, Lindsay shares what it's been like to continually reinvent herself while holding on to the parts of herself that matter most. In this conversation, we talk about: The cycle of reinvention as a military spouse Letting go of expectations while still holding onto purpose The emotional tension of grief and gratitude that exists at the same time What surrender really looks like in seasons you didn't choose Why comparison makes transition seasons even harder How to move at your own pace—even when life feels uncertain Lindsay also shares the story behind her book, Holding On and Letting Go: A Life in Motion, and how writing became a way to process the often contradictory experience of military life. Military life doesn't just ask you to let go once. It asks you to do it again and again, while still holding onto who you are becoming.

Letting go of the timeline you thought was mandatory means releasing the rigid schedule you believed was required for a successful life. This guide explores questioning the arbitrary deadlines you have set for yourself, understanding that life does not follow a predetermined calendar, and finding peace in being out of sync with what you thought you should have accomplished by now.

Victoria Lai has lived several careers in one lifetime: presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, entrepreneur, and now business advisor and nonprofit COO. But her biggest pivot came when she nurtured her passion for making ice cream on nights and weekends while working a serious government job. In this extra sweet episode, Victoria walks us through how a $25 Craigslist ice cream maker and a promise to herself led to Ice Cream Jubilee, the award-winning DC-area business celebrated by Food & Wine, the Washington Post, and Thrillist, and what it felt like to eventually sell the business she'd spent nearly a decade building. She also opens up about her family's Chinese immigrant history and how it shaped both her flavors and her sense of purpose, and why she considers her latest pivot back to mission-driven work the most fitting chapter yet.

Instant Inner Confidence | Reprogram Your Mind — A Guided Meditation for Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs Your mind runs on an algorithm — a set of beliefs that shape every thought, feeling, and reaction you have. And some of that code is seriously out of date. Welcome to Instant Inner Confidence, the podcast that helps you rewire your mindset and step into the most energised, focused, and self-assured version of yourself. In this guided meditation, we go deep into the limiting beliefs quietly running your life: fear of failure, not feeling good enough, anxiety about the future, and the constant pull away from the present moment. These aren't facts. They're old programs — and today, you're going to start rewriting them. Using slow intentional breath work, body awareness, and a visualisation of your ideal life three years from now, this session guides you through: ✦ Surfacing the beliefs that are holding you back ✦ Sitting with them without judgment — and watching them lose their power ✦ Stepping into a confident, energised new version of yourself ✦ Reprogramming your brain's filter to spot possibility instead of fear This is a beginner-friendly session. Start with something small — you can always build up to bigger patterns over time. Ready to access your instant inner confidence? Press play.

Danielle Amos is the founder of the Mystic Millionaire Movement. You'd expect this conversation to be about money.It's not. It's about the moment you stop letting go of the dream to feel safe."What most people do is let go of the goal in order to feel comfortable." The moment she said it, something in me woke all the way up.Danielle is one of Bob Proctor's top consultants, has helped create over two dozen millionaires, and studied his work so closely that he called her his protégé. And this past year, while navigating a very public separation, she also fell in love with a man she wrote into existence, attribute by attribute, in a journal she kept before she even knew who he was.This is our reunion episode and the first conversation I've recorded from Santa Barbara. We didn't plan what happened here. Somewhere in the middle of it, this became a live coaching session for me, and I think you're going to feel exactly why.Get ready, this one will move through you like a wildfire!In this episodeWhy most people drop the goal the moment the body resists it, and what to do insteadThe real difference between identity and self-image, and why the identity conversation online is missing something criticalThe law of sacrifice, and why leveling up doesn't have to cost you what you loveWhat Danielle would want to say to Bob Proctor today, and where his work needs to go nextHow she wrote her relationship into existence, in three parts, before she knew who he wasWhat it actually looks like to stay in your feminine when life is asking you to carry it allThe live moment in this episode where I recognized my own next big leap mid-conversationWhat the amusement park metaphor gets right about healing, shadow work, and when it's time to get off the rideAbout Danielle AmosDanielle Amos is the founder of the Mystic Millionaire Movement, a success coach, and one of Bob Proctor's top one percent consultants.

Perfectionism is loud. Invisible labor is constant. And focus can feel impossible when you're carrying it all. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Monica Packer—host of About Progress, certified habits and identity coach, and author of the upcoming book Sticky Habits—to talk about what it really looks like to build habits that support women's lives instead of working against them. Monica shares her own journey from overachieving perfectionist to burnout, depression, and eventually discovering a more sustainable model for growth: progress over perfection. We dive into: why traditional habit advice often doesn't work for women how invisible labor impacts focus, consistency, and energy the connection between perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking why flexibility—not rigidity—is the key to sustainable habits how “baseline habits” help you stay consistent even on hard days the difference between habits and routines and why habits should support you instead of controlling you One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Monica's redefinition of consistency: doing your best most of the time over time—and letting your best change. This episode is thoughtful, practical, validating, and honestly? A huge exhale for anyone who's tired of feeling like they're failing at habits that were never designed for real life in the first place.

For a certain kind of overachiever, "trying harder" isn't just a strategy — it's a moral duty. Kate Williams kicks things off with her guide to self-acceptance and the radical act of letting go, drawn from her book How to Stop Trying. Then, the second half explores what happens when ambition fuses with anxiety, with big ideas from The Happy High Achiever on keeping your edge without losing your sanity.

Pat, my guest's mom, grew up in Washington state. Because her parents had divorced wen Pat was a little girl, Pat spent the school year with her mother on the coast of Washington and summers with her father in the eastern part of the state. Pat learned independence starting at the early age of five years old as her parents  put her on a train by herself, back and forth across the state.  This part of Shannon's journey begins with her mom's Sock Monkey and it's opened up a world of learning and inspiration. Incase you're not familiar with what a sock monkey is, it's a  toy for young and old.  Stuffed Sock Monkeys were very popular in the 1930 and 40's, especially during The Great Depression to help uplift the spirits of children and adults. After Shannon's mother died, she came across a Stuffed Sock Monkey in her mother's possessions. She took it home with her and it's created a life of its own, a significance that Shannon is still surprised by today. In regard to her mother Shannon says "she was a teacher by nature and a teacher by trade. In fact, Pat was a  6th grade teacher for a while in addition to a Special Education teacher. Everything was a teaching /learning experience."  Shannon, her twin sister, Cheryl, and their mother had a very close relationship. All three women have intuitive capabilities and Pat allowed Shannon to make her own mistakes.  Shannon  in her late 20's,  started to develop her own psychic abilities. And as a twin, Shannon and her sister Cheryl, have psychic abilities that they work on together from near and afar.   Shannon shares stories of all the music in their home growing up. "Mom, she was brilliant. She could play any instrument by ear you gave her. Her main instrument in our home was the piano." With an infectious laugh that Shannon most likely inherited from her mom,  my guest fills us in on how funny  her mother was. She just lit up the whole family with her witty sense of humor. Shannon Grissom is an award winning artist, author and illustrator of the book "Monkey Made of Sockies" and most recently the creator of 'Sock Monkey Oracle Cards."   - Each card is a unique painting of a sock monkey which correlates to a specific Oracle Card. What are Oracle cards? Shannon Grissom will explain all of this and share more stories of her mom  Pat. https://twitter.com/ShannonGrissom  FB Page 1.4K FB Personal 2.1K https://www.facebook.com/ShannonGrissomCreations/ YouTube 410 https://www.youtube.com/shannongrissom LinkedIn 1.1K (CENTRAL VALLEY TALK SHOW-APRIL 2022 WITH AUSTIN REED. https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannongrissom/ TikTok 95 https://www.tiktok.com/@shannongrissom IG 1.1 https://www.instagram.com/shannongrissom/   *WEBSITE https://sockmonkeyoracle.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Why does graduation hit dads so hard? In this episode of 35KaDay / REBUILT, I open up about what it feels like to watch my daughter Kiera graduate high school and step into adulthood. It's one of the proudest moments of my life, but it's also brought a kind of grief I didn't expect. Not grief because something bad is happening. Grief because something beautiful mattered deeply. For a lot of fathers, graduation season brings up emotions we don't always know how to explain. Pride, sadness, gratitude, fear, joy, identity, purpose, and the quiet question underneath it all: “What's my role now?” This episode is for the dads who are walking past their child's room, hearing their laugh downstairs, remembering the school mornings, the late-night talks, the notes, the practices, the prayers, and realizing those ordinary moments were never ordinary at all. We talk about fatherhood, letting go, emotional resilience, faith, legacy, and the sacred transition of watching your child become who they were created to be. Because your purpose as a father isn't disappearing. It's evolving. And maybe graduation isn't proof that you're losing your child. Maybe it's proof that your impact is becoming visible.

The art of letting go means releasing your grip on people, outcomes, and experiences that are no longer yours to hold. This guide explores recognizing when you are clinging, understanding what letting go truly means, and finding freedom in surrender. The quiet moment is where letting go becomes natural—you stop holding onto what needs to be released and allow life to move through you.

Leaning into your humanity as a leader—rather than trying to be a superhero—creates healthier organizations, stronger teams, and more sustainable impact. In this reflective episode of the podcast, Carol Hamilton gathers together a series of "permission slips" shared by past guests: invitations for nonprofit leaders to embrace self-awareness, admit when they don't know the answer, step away for reflection, build leadership in others, and remember that no one person carries the responsibility for solving every challenge alone. The episode offers a thoughtful counterbalance to burnout culture and encourages leaders to cultivate organizations where people can thrive rather than sacrifice themselves for the mission. Carol & Guests share: The importance of knowing yourself and aligning your values with your organization Recognizing leadership limitations and making space for transitions Why saying "I don't know" can strengthen leadership Creating time for personal retreats and strategic reflection Building leadership capacity across teams instead of carrying everything alone Focusing on collective impact rather than trying to solve every problem individually Imagining a future rooted in connection, well-being, and abundance rather than scarcity Reflecting on long-term vision and sustainability in nonprofit leadership Episode Highlights [00:03:20] There Is No One Right Way to Lead [00:05:00] Leaders Are Human, Not Superheroes [00:06:55] The Power of Saying "I Don't Know" [00:08:00] Why Leaders Need Personal Retreats [00:09:50] Reflection, Vision, and Intentional Planning [00:010:35] Build Leaders Around You [00:12:05] You Do Not Have to Solve Everything [00:13:15] Imagining Abundance Instead of Scarcity [00:16:00] Looking Ahead with Intention About your podcast host: Carol Hamilton, principal of Grace Social Sector Consulting, helps nonprofits become more strategic and effective through inclusive strategic planning, evaluation design, and organizational assessment.

This is a replay to get the video version of the episode onto podcast apps that previously only had the audio version. Season 6, Episode 746: From Threesomes to Non-Monogamy: One Man's Journey Beyond Jealousy and Shame with author Adam Darrow about his edgy, honest, and raw memoir "Seek the Risk" (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3KrboVR This was an enlightening conversation and one many should listen to. Expanding our boundaries may seem difficult, and it doesn't pan out for everyone, but either way, valuble lessons are learned about oneself, one's limitations become clearer when faced with new challenges, and what we are willing to do for love becomes obvious. A question to ask yourself, well, more than one, what cultural shame is holding you back? Why should we allow culture to decide what is acceptable and what isn't? Would you ever stare normalcy in the face and give it the finger and do what you want? Even if it cost you relationships? Can you withstand the heat of a cultural assault from a judgmental mob of societal norm enforcers? (even if they are your friends and family?) Or would you just stand up tall, point your chin up, and say FU and just do it? When Adam Darrow met Jane at forty, he thought he was the adventurous one. After all, he'd spent his twenties competing in extreme sports and had explored threesomes—that made him pretty edgy, right? Then Jane, a PhD psychologist who spoke five languages, told him she didn't do boyfriends (and she meant it). Drawing from his background in extreme sports, Darrow spent two and a half years transitioning into non-monogamy, followed by three challenging years of emotional work before finding equilibrium. The journey wasn't easy. He didn't think he could do it. When his partner Jane publicly announced their arrangement on Facebook in 2009, Darrow watched his life wildly transform. His best friend called him derogatory names. But over time, he discovered something unexpected: jealousy could be channeled into motivation to become a better partner. What initially felt emasculating became an opportunity to overcome deep-seated insecurities like imposter syndrome and validation-seeking. His memoir chronicles this transformative experience through vulnerable storytelling that includes explicit extreme sexual details and uncomfortable emotional truths, as well as healing and growth. How did keeping emotions bottled up nearly break him? The book explores that question while advocating for moving beyond societal shame around sexuality, relationship conformity, and focusing on personal authenticity rather than rigid beliefs about relationships.
