Podcasts about Letting Go

I used to think being “attached” meant being committed. But what I've learned through business, faith, and some pretty brutal pivots is that attachment is often the very thing slowing us down. In this episode, Chris and I break down why detachment (or as I used to call it, “unattachment”) is one of the most powerful skills you can build as a high performer. We talk about 4 four places of detachment and the lessons I learned from releasing the need to be seen. The fastest growth comes when you release control over how things unfold, who gets the credit, what it looks like to others, and when it all happens.

By embracing adaptability and ongoing innovation, TreeRing has built a resilient organization capable of learning, evolving, and thriving in a changing market.

TreeRing's platform empowers families to customize yearbooks, enabling individual storytelling and deeper engagement. We explore how innovation and thoughtful design have allowed TreeRing to deliver high-quality yearbooks that better reflect today's students and communities. Building an Adaptive Culture with Technology and Mentorship We conclude by discussing the importance of curiosity, mentorship, and continuous learning within teams. Kevin explains how fostering an adaptive culture encourages creative problem-solving and supports employee growth. He also shares how TreeRing leverages technology, data, and AI to scale efficiently while staying true to its core values, sustainability commitments, and customer experience. Leading by Example, Trust, and Letting Go of the Outcome True leadership is built on trust, and trust is earned by doing what you say you will do. Austin shares how leading by example shapes culture, influences behavior, and reinforces standards throughout the organization. As leaders mature, they must also learn to let go of micromanagement and release attachment to perfect outcomes. There is no flawless business—only leaders who care deeply, persist through challenges, and remain committed to developing themselves and their teams. Key Takeaways Adaptive leadership enables organizations to respond effectively to disruption while maintaining long-term vision. Continuous improvement is an ongoing journey, not a one-time initiative. Personalization and technology can successfully modernize even the most traditional industries.

Have you ever noticed how much mental energy you spend wondering if you're doing this parenting thing "right"? Maybe you replay conversations in your head, second-guess a boundary you set, or feel that pressure to do just a little more…just in case. That pressure doesn't come from being overly critical or demanding — it comes from caring deeply. And from the belief that if you can just find the right way to handle things, you'll finally be able to relax. Today, I'm continuing the Mindset Traps of Parenting Teens and the Empty Nest series with a focus on perfectionism. In this episode, we're going to talk about how the search for the “right” way fuels anxiety, erodes self-trust, and keeps you carrying more than you need to. And we'll explore what it actually looks like to decide what's enough — without waiting for your kid or your life to be different first. This episode will change how you think about effort, responsibility, and what it really means to let go in this stage of motherhood.

So it's the New Year. Hooray. And maybe like us you opened up that closet to put back the decorations and thought, "Do we need all of this? What's in these boxes anyway?" Perhaps your thoughts have now turned to your stash--not your drug stash, or a stash of stolen goods, the word's original meaning when it first entered English usage in 1914. We're talking about your yarn stash. Is it a source of inspiration to you, or an albatross? We are here to help. In typical Bootie and Bossy fashion, we decided the best way to tackle this was first to read about it, and then to talk about it, because you don't want to be too hasty and spring into action too quickly here. So we read A Stash of One's Own: Knitters on Loving, Living with, and Letting Go of Yarn, a wonderful collection of essays edited by Clara Parkes. Because a yarn stash is not just a pile of random string, as Parkes explains, "Yarn holds energy (literally twist), but it also holds energy in the form of memories . . . Every knitter will be able to pick up skein from her stash--any skein--and tell you a complete and compelling story about it" (p. 109). This might be why Stephanie Pearl-McPhee cannot get rid of the ball of yarn her daughters gifted her, even though it's so pink and shiny it looks exactly like “what you'd get if Barbie and My Little Pony dropped acid and tried to come up with a colorway” (p. 32). As much as your yarn stash is a kind of fiber scrapbook—especially that vacation yarn that's “all larded up with sentiment and emotion and meaning to the point where you weep slightly when recalling the now defunct yarn shop where you bought it" (Ann Shayne, p. 46)—it's also connects you to the future. At its core, a stash is a repository of hope, as Anna Maltz explains: "There is a deep optimism in how much we acquire and keep around, and in our belief that we can make and learn from that vast quantity in a single lifetime.Anna Maltz, “Moving Yarn/Portable Stories,” in A Stash of One's Own, p. 79. For Debbie Stoller, having a stash is also an empowering feminist act:"[A] yarn stash makes a pretty large statement to the world that a woman is planning to spend hours—nay, years—of her life engaging in something that doesn't promise to make her skinnier or look younger or give her a tighter butt. Something that won't make her a better mother, or a better wife . . . It announces to the world that she has decided to do something just for herself in pursuit of only one thing: pleasure.”Debbie Stoller, "A Stash of One's Own: Yarn as a Feminist Issue," A Stash of One's Own, p. 180. If your stash inspires and empowers you, great—keep doing what you are doing. If it starts to feel like an albatross, then there's help for that too. As knitter and social worker Sue Shankle explains, “People have a hard enough time understanding themselves. Expecting others to ‘get' you (or your love of beautiful yarn) is not always realistic. That's why you need a posse. People who understand it all, no explanation necessary” (91-2). So make a nice, warm batch of healthy Instant Pot Curry with Chickpeas, Spinach and Tomatoes, and as you contemplate your stash, know that it's much more than just yarn in a bin—it's your past and your future, your statement to the world of how you want to spend your time, and we understand that because we are your posse!

What does hope really mean when an eating disorder has lasted for years or decades? In 2026, many people with chronic eating disorders feel left out of recovery conversations that prioritize fast change, early intervention, and visible transformation. This episode offers a different framework. One that respects long-term patterns, nervous system survival, neurodivergence, and harm reduction. This conversation is for anyone who has wondered whether recovery is still possible for them, or whether traditional recovery models ever truly fit in the first place. Understanding Chronic Eating Disorders Chronic eating disorders are often misunderstood as failures or lack of motivation. In reality, long-term eating disorder patterns usually develop as adaptive responses to unmet needs for safety, regulation, autonomy, or predictability. These patterns persist not because someone is resistant to change, but because they once worked. In 2026, more clinicians are beginning to recognize eating disorders as learned survival systems rather than character flaws. This shift changes how care is offered and how hope becomes possible. Why Traditional Recovery Hope Often Falls Apart Many people with long-term eating disorders have been harmed by how hope is framed in treatment. When hope depends on symptom elimination, linear progress, or compliance with rigid models, it becomes fragile. Setbacks then feel like proof that recovery has failed. For chronic eating disorders, hope cannot be conditional. It must be able to coexist with fluctuation, stress, and ongoing vulnerability without turning into another source of shame. What Hope Can Actually Look Like for Long-Term Eating Disorders Hope in chronic eating disorder recovery often looks quieter and more realistic than cultural narratives suggest. It may involve increased choice instead of total freedom, fewer all-or-nothing spirals, or the ability to pause before acting on urges. For many people, hope shows up as nourishment that feels neutral rather than terrifying, or as eating with accommodations that respect sensory and nervous system needs. This kind of hope does not erase struggle. It changes how much control the eating disorder has over daily life. Progress Beyond Symptom Elimination Progress in long-term eating disorder recovery often happens beneath the surface. It can appear as quicker nervous system recovery after distress, reduced intensity of urges, or increased ability to name internal experiences instead of dissociating from them. These changes matter. They reflect learning, regulation, and increased safety, even when symptoms remain present. Measuring progress by lived experience rather than symptom checklists allows hope to grow more sustainably. Neurodivergence, Trauma, and Treatment Fit Many people with chronic eating disorders are neurodivergent, trauma-exposed, or both. Historically, eating disorder treatment has often failed to account for sensory needs, autonomy, and nervous system regulation. When care does not fit, people are frequently blamed rather than supported. In 2026, more neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed approaches are emerging. These frameworks recognize eating disorder behaviors as attempts at regulation and protection, not defiance. When care adapts to the person instead of forcing conformity, change becomes more possible. Harm Reduction and Chronic Eating Disorders Harm reduction plays a critical role in supporting people with long-term eating disorders. Rather than demanding full recovery as the only acceptable outcome, harm reduction focuses on reducing risk, increasing stability, and supporting safety in the present moment. For many people, harm reduction offers a form of hope that does not collapse under pressure. In 2026, this approach is increasingly recognized as legitimate, ethical eating disorder care. Letting Go of Cure-Based Recovery Models One of the most hopeful shifts for chronic eating disorders is releasing the idea that cure is the only meaningful goal. People deserve care, dignity, and support regardless of whether they reach full symptom remission. Many individuals experience greater peace when they stop chasing recovery narratives that were never designed for them and begin building lives that work with their nervous systems rather than against them. You Are Not Too Late If an eating disorder has been part of your life for a long time, you are not behind and you are not broken. You did not miss your chance at support. Hope does not require erasing your history or minimizing what you have survived. Hope can exist alongside chronicity.

They talk through leadership growth, hiring, delegation, and how to maintain vision while scaling, with direct parallels to church leadership. Key Topics & Timestamps Vision as the Foundation (00:00–05:32) Why clear vision needs to come before leadership development Churchfront's mission: "Equip church leaders in spaces with innovative solutions for thriving ministry." The importance of a mission statement, vision statement, and core values A two-day workshop at Ramsey to clarify and communicate vision Natural progression from YouTube creator to leading a 10-person team Key Quote: "If there is no clear vision of where you're trying to bring that organization, then everything else that we're about to talk about with leadership development and scaling an organization is kind of irrelevant because nobody knows where you're going." The Transition from Hands-On to Hands-Off (03:23–07:54) How Jake went from knowing everything to empowering team decision-making Building systems so problems get solved without senior leader involvement Decision-making frameworks around mission, vision, values, and finances When leaders should stay involved vs. when to delegate Team members now have authority and clarity to address issues independently High-risk or costly decisions still require senior leader involvement Key Quote: "It's so cool that my brain, even though I can keep up with a lot of things, I can no longer keep up with all of the cool things that are happening in the business and probably some of the headaches." Hiring A-Players (07:54–13:04) Essential hiring criteria: Mission alignment — genuinely excited about equipping church leaders Self-leadership — evidence of personal discipline (health, appearance, habits) Character references — take time to call references and vet thoroughly Working Genius Assessment — using Patrick Lencioni's framework to build balanced teams Team vetting — multiple team members interview candidates Churchfront Focus: Churchfront only works with churches (not corporate AV, DJ setups, or other venues). Candidates need to genuinely care about the local church. Working Genius Details: $25 assessment (WIDGET acronym) Identifies whether someone leans toward Wonder/Invention vs. Tenacity/Galvanizing traits Helps place people into roles that fit their strengths Recommended for church staff to understand their "genius zones" Key Quote: "If you can't lead yourself, you can't lead others very well." The Challenge of Letting Go (13:37–16:56) Why control is tempting but unsustainable for growth Long-term vision motivates delegation Media/marketing was Jake's original specialty and the hardest area for him to delegate to Matt Over time, Matt learned Jake's standards and expectations Hiring people who are better than you in specific areas Real Examples: Chris installs, rigs, mounts, and runs cable better than Jake Spencer models and drafts 3D spaces faster in Vectorworks James creates better schematics Senior Leader Principle: Leaders should understand all departments without controlling them. Spend a few hours learning the basics so you can make informed decisions about major investments. Church Application: Senior pastors should take Churchfront courses (a couple half-days) to be more informed than most lead pastors when making major AV decisions. Key Quote: "I'm motivated by the long-term vision of where this is going and how big the organization has to go that I'm just like, 'Yeah, I don't need to control everything. I don't want that life where I feel like I have to because I'm just going to be miserable about that.'" Present Leadership Without Micromanaging (17:46–19:40) Weekly team meetings where everyone shares what they're working on Asking: "What did you do last week?" and "What are you working on this week?" (3–10 minutes) Five minutes with each team member can make a huge impact Being present builds trust across the org chart Service businesses succeed based on team health and performance Jake shifted from solo productivity to supporting team members Key Quote: "That five minutes of interaction with one of your team members a week, no matter where they're at in the org chart, goes a long way because they're like, 'Oh wow, our senior leader knows me. I can trust him.'" High-Leverage Activities (19:50–23:16) Definition of leverage: low input, high output—like a tool that multiplies your strength. What Jake focuses on now: Pre-design client conversations — 2–3 hours per project that sets the trajectory for large-budget projects (using Wonder/Invention/Visionary strengths) Media creation — 30 minutes to a few hours can reach thousands (what built Churchfront over 8–10 years) Leader development — multiplication only happens as the team grows from 10+ toward 20–30 For church leaders: Sunday preaching — communication at scale (in-person and online) Developing other leaders — especially in areas where you're less gifted Key Quote: "What can I put lower input into and gives me high output? That's what a lever or a tool is." Leadership Evolution (23:23–25:23) John Maxwell's Five Levels of Leadership (applied): Position — title alone (doesn't get you much) Permission — relationships; people give you permission to lead Productivity — "Follow me because I produce results" (how Churchfront started) Leader development — "Follow me because I'll equip you to lead others" (current focus) Multiplication — creating leaders who create leaders Jake's journey: 2016: solo entrepreneur and highly productive individual Read leadership books and understood the growth track Started with productivity to get things off the ground With 10 people (and aiming for 20–30), he must focus on leader development to reach multiplication Key Insight: Leadership maturity means realizing it's more people-focused than anything else. Advice to 2016 Jake (25:44–28:06) What Jake would tell his younger self: "Buy more Bitcoin" (half-joking) With what he knows now, he could do in 2–3 years what took 10 But he wouldn't rush it—focus on the journey Be a man of good character Follow God Keep sustainable work-life balance Care for spouse and kids Don't rush—God multiplies right inputs into massive outputs Seek wise counsel on business strategy and online marketing Show up and do the work every day For young 20-somethings Jake mentors: Focus on self-leadership and the basics Better strategies exist—learn from wise voices Put in consistent daily work People don't see the late-night edits and behind-the-scenes grind Key Quote: "A lot of people see Churchfront and they're like, 'Wow, it's like 300,000 subscribers. It's a decent sized little business growing a lot.' It's like, yeah, that's after eight to 10 years of just showing up and doing it every single day." Main Themes Don't Throw the Baby Out with the Bathwater As church culture shifts away from overly corporate/produced approaches back toward authenticity, it's still worth keeping the leadership lessons that help organizations run well—especially because leadership often isn't taught deeply in Bible school contexts. Parallels Between Business and Church Leadership Churchfront is a Christian business that prays before meetings and focuses on serving the local church. The leadership principles Jake uses translate directly to church staff leadership, especially for teams of 5–15. The Secret Sauce In service businesses (and churches), the team and people are the product. That's why leader development and team health matter so much. Natural Progression Growth happens in stages. Jake went from being intimidated by the idea of 10 staff members to progressing through each hire and stage—each step building confidence for the next. Practical Takeaways for Church Leaders Clarify your vision first—mission, vision, and core values you return to weekly Hire A-players only—take time, use assessments, and get team input Build decision-making systems so your team can solve problems without you Stay present without micromanaging—even five minutes per person per week helps Focus on high-leverage activities—preaching, leader development, strategic decisions Understand all departments without needing to control them Invest in education—leaders should understand the basics of major spending areas Progress through leadership levels—from productivity to multiplication Prioritize character and self-leadership—in yourself and the people you hire Think long-term—consistent daily effort over 8–10 years creates remarkable results

203. The Human Element in Leadership (with Helen Honisett)   In this episode of the Visibility Factor podcast, host Sue Barber speaks with Helen Honisett, CEO of Defy Expectations, about her unique approach to leadership. They discuss the importance of clarity in leadership, the impact of generational differences, and the concept of 'love leadership' which emphasizes human connection and care. Helen shares insights on the use of diagnostic tools for leadership development and the role of AI in enhancing leadership effectiveness. The conversation highlights the need for strategic thinking in leadership and the importance of understanding one's value in the evolving workplace. Takeaways Helen emphasizes the importance of clarity in leadership. Great leadership impacts personal wellbeing and professional development. Generational differences can enhance workplace dynamics. Love leadership focuses on human connection and care. Diagnostic tools can identify leadership strengths and weaknesses. AI should enhance human leadership, not replace it. Strategic thinking is crucial for effective leadership. Organizations need to invest wisely in leadership development. Cultural ROI is as important as financial ROI in leadership. Understanding one's value is key in the age of AI.   The book that Helen recommends is Letting Go by David R.

Hello angels,This episode I delve into the energetics of letting go! One of my favorite topics rooted in deep lessons, courage and excitement. I hope you enjoy! Xx

In this episode, Guy talked with Peter Russell, an author, guide, and meditation teacher. He discussed his deep-seated interest in consciousness and the ways in which we can achieve a natural state of contentment. He emphasized the importance of letting go of societal-induced discontent and our attachments to material things. The conversation navigated through topics such as the ego, our emotional responses, and how simple mindfulness practices can transform our perspectives and lives. Peter also explained his motivations and findings in his latest book, 'Letting Go of Nothing,' and gave insights into his daily routines and thoughts on the rapidly changing world. About Peter: Peter Russell is on the faculty of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a fellow of The World Business Academy and The Findhorn Foundation, and an Honorary Member of The Club of Budapest. At Cambridge University (UK), he studied mathematics and theoretical physics. Then, as he became increasingly fascinated by the mysteries of the human mind, he changed to experimental psychology. Pursuing this interest, he traveled to India to study meditation and eastern philosophy, and on his return took up the first research post ever offered in Britain on the psychology of meditation. He also has a postgraduate degree in computer science, and conducted some of the early work on 3-dimensional displays, presaging by some twenty years the advent of virtual reality. In the 1970s, he was one of the first people to introduce human potential seminars into the corporate field, and for twenty years ran programs for senior management on creativity, stress management, personal development, and sustainable development. Clients have included IBM, Apple, Digital, American Express, Barclays Bank, Swedish Telecom, ICI, Shell Oil and British Petroleum. In 1982 he coined the term "Global Brain" with his 1980s bestseller of the same name in which he predicted the Internet and the impact it would have. His latest book, "Letting Go of Nothing: Relax Your Mind and Discover the Wonder of Your True Nature" was published on August 8, 2021. His other books include: The TM Technique, The Upanishads, The Brain Book, The Creative Manager, The Consciousness Revolution, Waking Up in Time, The Global Brain / The Awakening Earth, Seeds of Awakening, and From Science to God.

From the very beginning of Scripture, we see this struggle play out, and we still wrestle with it today. This message invites us to pause, reflect, and discover how humility and surrender lead us into the peace we're actually longing for.In this episode, you'll discover:Why our need for control is wired into us—but how it can become unhealthyHow humility opens the door to peace and freedomPractical questions to help you identify what you're carrying that isn't yoursWhat Scripture teaches us about surrender, obedience, and self-controlHow letting go of control can realign your heart with God's purposeAbout WestsideWestside is a place made up of real people from all walks of life.

SummaryIn this episode, Dr. Natalie explores the concept of 'The Great Unlearning,' a transformative journey that challenges the societal belief that doing everything right leads to a fulfilling life. She reflects on her personal experiences, particularly during midlife, where she realized that striving for perfection and external validation often leads to burnout and disillusionment. Dr. Natalie emphasizes the importance of self-worth and the need to reclaim it from within, rather than through external achievements or approval. Through poignant anecdotes, she illustrates how the pressure to conform to societal expectations can lead to a double life and emotional turmoil, ultimately advocating for a shift towards self-love and acceptance.Dr. Natalie introduces the metaphor of the tugboat versus the lighthouse to illustrate the difference between exhausting oneself in the pursuit of perfection and standing firm in one's self-worth. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives, identifying where they may be sacrificing their well-being in the name of doing everything right. The episode serves as a powerful reminder that true fulfillment comes from within, and that midlife can be an opportunity for profound personal growth and self-discovery.Keywords:midlife, self-worth, personal growth, self-love, great unlearning, emotional well-being, tugboat lighthouse metaphor, reclaiming self-worth, Dr. NatalieTakeaways:The version of you that you're most proud of may be blocking your actual life.Midlife can be an invitation to examine the mess of our lives and love it as it is.Reclaiming self-worth from the inside out is essential for true fulfillment.Sound bites:"What if I told you that the version of you that you're most proud of... is in the way of your actual life?""Today we're gonna talk about the great unlearning.""You do not need to fix yourself.

Why trying something scary can unlock your next chapter What happens when you give yourself permission to be a beginner again — in midlife? In this episode of Late Bloomer Living, Yvonne Marchese is joined by her friend Marc Ronick for a candid conversation about play, fear, and reinvention. After more than 20 years in podcasting, Marc decided to try something that genuinely scared him: improv classes. What began as a way to stretch his skills as a live podcaster quickly became a powerful personal practice — helping him loosen perfectionism, reconnect with play, and navigate a challenging season of growth in his 50s. Together, Yvonne and Marc talk about: What it's really like to walk into a room as a beginner later in life How improv helped Marc show up more fully — on the mic and in life Building a generous, supportive community through The Podcasting Morning Chat Producing a podcasting conference for the first time in midlife Why passion has to be bigger than fear if we want to grow This episode is a reminder that play isn't frivolous, being scared doesn't mean you're wrong, and midlife may be the perfect time to let go of the script and try something new.

We were meant to have vision and build legacy!It can be so easy to focus on now, BUT we are a part of something bigger! We are all interwoven and connected to the generations before, and have inheritance to receive from them. And we are also called to leave a legacy for those coming behind us.In this episode, Margaux share's an intense, but very helpful dream exposing the enemy's tactic to use pain to keep her from moving forward. The interpretaion from this dream will be a message to many of you and a timely encouragement as we enter into the New Year and are seeking vision and clarity for a path forward! The past is not allowed to dictate your legacy! God has given you family, inheritance and land!Some prompts from the episode: What is the inheritance left to me by past generations? Is there anywhere the enemy is trying to keep me from moving forward? Is there anything hindering me from what I'm called to build? What legacy am I created to leave behind?There's already a path set before you whether you're aware of it or not!

Send us a textStephanie Watson, author and founder of "The Table," shares from her new book, Ruth's Need for a Redeemer: A Bible Study on Loss, Loyalty, and Unexpected Love. We linger on Ruth's crossroads moment: return to what's familiar, or risk the unknown with God. It's the same decision we all might face when our Moab feels safe, but our Bethlehem is calling. In Part 2, we pick up our conversation with Stephanie Watson, author of Ruth's Need for a Redeemer, to explore Ruth's bold decision to cling to Ruth—not to her own comfort, and to cling to God's promises lived through Naomi's life. The scene is raw: Naomi urges a return, grief narrowing her vision; Orpah turns back. Ruth stays, and that single act reframes what healthy attachment looks like in a world that often confuses strength with self-sufficiency.Press play for a fresh, grounded take on choice, grief, community, and redemption.

Parenting young adults is one of the most tender and complex seasons of family life. In this episode, April Bordeau is joined by returning guest Jean Crane to explore how parents can navigate the tension between letting go and staying connected as children move into adulthood.Jean brings both professional insight and lived experience, parenting children who are actively launching into college, marriage, and independent life. Together, April and Jean discuss the emotional push-pull parents often feel—grief and pride, closeness and distance—and how to stay relationally connected without overstepping into control.This conversation offers practical guidance, reassurance, and hope for parents who want to maintain influence through relationship rather than authority.In this episode, you'll learn:Why parenting young adults is fundamentally different from parenting teens or childrenThe shift from positional influence to relational influenceHow brain development impacts decision-making well into the mid-20sWhat helps young adults want to stay connected with their parentsHow curiosity and listening build trust and opennessHealthy ways to set boundaries with adult childrenHow to respond when you're deeply concerned about your child's choicesWhen to speak up, when to step back, and when to pray and waitA simple practice parents can use this week to strengthen connectionKey takeaway: The goal isn't control—it's connection. When communication stays open, curiosity replaces judgment, and encouragement is spoken consistently, young adults are far more likely to invite their parents into their lives.Resources mentioned: Parenting Through the Stages (Orange Series) The Power of a Praying Parent The Power of a Praying Parent for Adult Children The Anxious Generation Stolen FocusApril also references a previous Care to Change podcast episode on parenting adult children, which will be linked in the show notes.If you're navigating this season and feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected, Care to Change offers experienced therapists who can walk alongside you through counseling, marriage intensives, or leadership coaching.Learn more or reach out at caretochange.org.

If you've ever struggled with letting go of sentimental items after loss, I hope today's episode gives you both validation and encouragement. I talk with Krista St. Germain of the Widowed Moms Podcast, who lost her husband to a drunk driver, and we explore the emotional weight of decluttering a loved one's belongings. You'll hear: • mindset shifts around grief • what it means to let go in a way that "feels like love" • why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to releasing sentimental items This comforting conversation offers gentle guidance for decluttering when space is limited or when keeping certain items no longer feels supportive for your wellbeing.

Every business owner has one thing—the process, problem, or recurring issue that keeps pulling them back into the weeds. In this episode of The Idaho Business Podcast, we talk about why businesses get stuck when everything revolves around the owner—and how clear systems and SOPs are the way out. Not as corporate red tape, but as a leadership tool that creates clarity, accountability, and freedom. We break down why most owners resist SOPs, how micromanagement quietly kills momentum, and what real empowerment actually looks like inside a growing company. You'll learn how to hand things off without losing control, why verification matters more than perfection, and how fixing one system at a time prevents burnout. If you feel like your business can't move without you, this episode will challenge you to identify your "one thing" and finally deal with it—so you can get back to doing what an owner should actually be doing.   If you are feeling the love, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you are!!

What happens when a 200 pound weight loss, a radical health transformation, and a renewed faith collide in one life changing journey? In this episode of the Tammy Peterson Podcast, I sit down with Bruce Langworthy to explore how removing sugar, simplifying his diet, and committing to disciplined daily habits helped restore his body, sharpen his mind, and deepen his spiritual clarity. Bruce shares his experience with chronic illness, inflammation, brain fog, and how a carnivore-based approach, combined with gratitude, prayer, and personal responsibility, reshaped not only his physical health but his entire outlook on life. As a longtime software professional, Bruce brings a thoughtful and grounded perspective to healing, discipline, and modern living. This conversation is about far more than weight loss, it is about reclaiming agency, purpose, and hope. I invite you to listen, reflect, share your thoughts in the comments, and subscribe for more honest conversations about healing, faith, and personal transformation.

In this episode of Clover, I sit down with Rosa Yupari, former Chief Revenue Officer turned fractional CRO and sales advisor, to talk about what actually drives sustainable revenue growth — and why so many companies stall long before they realize it.Rosa shares her journey from engineering into sales, scaling teams to nearly $100M in revenue, and eventually stepping away from corporate leadership to build a practice rooted in mentoring, coaching, and real-world strategy. This is a candid, tactical conversation for founders, revenue leaders, and women navigating high-stakes leadership roles.In this episode, we cover:Why small behaviors — not big strategy shifts — often determine whether revenue scales or stallsHow “family culture” can limit sales performance, and what healthy collaboration really looks likeThe biggest mistakes founders make with early sales hires and enterprise expansionWhat strong sales leadership looks like in tough markets — and how managers actually motivate teamsHow AI is changing the way sales leaders analyze deals, coach teams, and stay strategic

Many people feel emotionally drained not because they care too much, but because they carry too much. In this episode, I explore why empathy often turns into exhaustion, especially for those who learned early to manage emotions and prevent conflict. We talk about how over-carrying impacts the nervous system, boundaries, and sense of self, even when relationships appear 'fine' on the surface. This conversation looks at what healthy detachment actually is — and what it isn't. I break down the difference between empathy and emotional fusion, explain why emotional ownership matters, and share how staying grounded allows for deeper connection without self-loss. This episode is an invitation to stay compassionate and self-respecting at the same time.   Respect means  trusting others to meet themselves  where they are.      Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!
