Mary Beth shares her self-limiting belief about using her retirement savings to fund three long-held dreams: writing a book, launching an invention, and stepping fully into spiritual healing. Julie guides her through refining the question in oneness, releasing ego urgency, and understanding that multiple dreams can coexist. You will learn how Spirit works in seasons, how to place visions into “time columns,” and why you do not have to choose just one path to move forward. This episode is a powerful reminder that fear of money often masks fear of time, overworking, and getting it wrong. Your higher self already knows the path. You only have to walk it one day at a time.

Are you trapped in hustle mode and afraid of what happens if you slow down?In this episode, Dr. Sana Yusuf jumps right into stepping away from the relentless “hustler” mentality that shaped her academic and professional journey, and into a space where fulfillment is measured by flexibility and presence, not just financial milestones. With refreshing honesty, Dr. Yusuf explains why extreme wealth no longer defines her sense of security. Her practice now covers what matters most: family, stability, and the freedom to breathe. She delves into the exhausting impact of constant gratitude and positivity, revealing how coping habits formed by early traumas can lead to minimizing struggle rather than truly processing it. From navigating the mental weight of multiple business obligations to the life-changing decision to sell her second practice, Dr. Yusuf shares what it really takes to let go and prioritize quality of life over unending hustle.The conversation shifts gears to reveal what works (and what doesn't) in dental practice marketing today. Dr. Yusuf gives a behind-the-scenes look at everything from unsuccessful yearbook ads to surprisingly effective targeted mailers and the evolution of her social media strategy. She also reflects on the pitfalls of chasing volume over vision, emphasizing her desire for a practice known for its distinct strengths, not price wars. Dr. Yusuf discusses the hard-earned lessons of setting boundaries with staff and patients and what she'd do differently after partnership challenges. Plus, you'll hear how her journey is guiding her toward a more focused, identity-driven future and the boundary-setting advice she wishes she'd received sooner.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How to recognize when gratitude becomes a survival mechanism, not a solutionThe realities of selling a practice and when it's worth walking awayWhich marketing strategies really deliver for dental practices (and which flop)The importance of niche identity versus chasing growth at any costLessons in staff management, pay negotiations, and setting boundaries with your teamHow to avoid common pitfalls in partnerships and contractsWays to prevent burnout by structuring work hours and communication more intentionallyTechniques for adapting marketing tactics as industry platforms and demographics evolveDr. Yusuf's practical tips for balancing ambition with wellbeingDon't miss this honest, behind-the-scenes episode highlighting the power of boundaries, the truth behind “staying positive,” and the beauty of building a practice that prioritizes depth over constant hustle!‍Sponsors:‍Oryx: All-In-One Cloud-Based Dental Software Created by Dentists for Dentists.

What if the very thing you're gripping so tightly is the reason it's not happening? In this episode of The Spitfire Podcast, we dive into one of coaching's most powerful (and paradoxical) principles: detaching from the outcome. When life feels off-kilter and out of control, our instinct is often to clench tighter—to force results, chase certainty, and obsess over the "right" ending. But what if the real power lies in letting go? Lauren shares personal reflections on navigating unexpected life shifts, the illusion of control, and the transformational shift from focusing on outputs to owning your inputs. You'll explore: Why obsessing over specific outcomes can actually repel them The difference between having a vision and gripping for control How daily inputs shape long-term results The hidden ways we reinforce our own setbacks Simple practices to create momentum, joy, and resilience This episode is a grounded, honest reminder: you can't control the outcome—but you can control who you become in the process. Plant the seeds. Water them daily. Then let go—and watch what grows.      

In this episode, we discuss why we have a deep tendency to create drama in our lives and how to step out of that pattern.

What if the greatest battle in your life is not external… but internal?In this deeply transformative episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, we sit down with transformational speaker, educator, certified health coach, and founder of The Love No Ego Foundation, Freddy Jackson.From chasing collegiate basketball dreams to confronting personal failures and rebuilding through faith, humility, and growth, Freddy's journey is a powerful reminder that ego may be loud, but love is stronger.Together, we explore:• What it truly means to live Love Over Ego• How to recognise when ego is driving your decisions• Why suffering is optional even when pain is inevitable• The four pillars that ground Freddy's life: spirituality, exercise, education, and community• How Social Emotional Learning builds resilience in young people• Why stillness and silence are necessary for authentic growth• The courage it takes to be yourself in a performance-driven worldChapters00:00 Introduction to Love No Ego02:24 Practices for Staying Present04:40 Wild Card Game: Getting to Know Freddie09:05 Passion and Purpose11:28 Defining the Journey: Love No Ego13:54 Understanding Ego and Its Impact17:49 Reprogramming the Mind21:30 The Power of Stillness and Presence26:08 The Pursuit of Happiness and Fulfilment27:09 Letting Go and Minimalism29:00 Living with Purpose and Authenticity33:21 Understanding Love and Its Essence35:01 Challenges of Community and Connection38:22 Building Inner Resilience in a Chaotic World46:41 The Courage to Be Yourself49:59 The Mission of Love No-Ego FoundationFreddy shares practical wisdom on mindfulness, self-discovery, minimalism, and the daily discipline of choosing love over pride, fear, or validation.If you are navigating identity pressure, seeking purpose, or craving inner clarity, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.This is not about perfection.It is about alignment.It is about choosing love over ego.

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell gets personal. Instead of interviewing a guest, Travis shares one of the most embarrassing moments of his teenage years—completely missing a handspring in front of his entire summer camp—and uses it to unpack a powerful lesson about fear, failure, and the stories we tell ourselves. With honesty, humor, and perspective, he challenges listeners to stop sacrificing their dream lives to avoid short-term embarrassment. On this episode we talk about: A hilariously painful teenage camp story that felt world-ending at the time Why embarrassment feels permanent—but rarely is How fear of public failure stops people from pursuing their goals The “day in the life” exercise for clarifying your dream lifestyle Reframing risk: small moments of embarrassment vs. long-term fulfillment Top 3 Takeaways Most embarrassing moments feel huge in the moment—but are quickly forgotten by everyone else. Don't overestimate how much people are thinking about you. The fear of public failure keeps more people broke than lack of skill ever will. If the reward is your dream life, it's worth risking a few days of discomfort or embarrassment. Notable Quotes "The stupid stuff that you're worried about right now will not matter." "The people who care don't matter, and the people who matter don't care." "Stop letting the fear of embarrassment run your life."

The Superhero Show #614Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: RemembranceThe Superhero Show: Remembrance — Ghosts of the Past ResurfaceThis week on The Superhero Show, the hosts return to the world of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs to unpack episode 1.09, “Remembrance.” In this emotionally charged chapter, the past refuses to stay buried as long-lost technology, painful memories, and old-world ambitions collide. Unlike the jungle-heavy action of previous episodes, Remembrance shifts focus inward—forcing Jack Tenrec and the residents of Sea City to confront history itself.Echoes of the Old WorldRemembrance begins with the discovery of preserved relics from the pre-apocalypse era—artifacts that stir curiosity and ambition in equal measure. When evidence surfaces suggesting the existence of advanced cryogenic technology, hope spreads through the city. Could survivors from the old world still be alive?The hosts highlight how the episode carefully builds intrigue. Instead of immediate action, the tension grows through possibility. The idea that someone from the ancient past might awaken sparks excitement—but also unease. After all, the old world is the one that collapsed.Awakening the PastWhen a preserved figure from before the great cataclysm is revived, Remembrance pivots from mystery to moral conflict. The awakened survivor carries knowledge, but also outdated ideals rooted in control, hierarchy, and technological dominance. The hosts explore how this character represents more than a person—he embodies the mindset that led to Earth's downfall.At first, the promise of forgotten science dazzles Sea City's leadership. However, Jack remains skeptical. He understands that progress without balance can be catastrophic. As the revived figure begins pushing for the reactivation of dangerous systems and old infrastructure, the tension rises sharply.Clash of IdealsThe heart of Remembrance lies in its philosophical battle. The old world valued power and expansion. Jack values harmony and sustainability. The hosts dive into how the episode stages this conflict not just through dialogue, but through escalating stakes as ancient systems threaten to destabilize the fragile ecosystem Sea City depends on.As dormant machinery hums back to life, the danger becomes immediate. Technology once meant to protect civilization now risks destroying what little has been rebuilt. The episode's action crescendos as Jack and Hannah scramble to shut down systems that should have remained relics.Letting Go to Move ForwardBy the conclusion of Remembrance, the message becomes clear: survival requires learning from the past, not resurrecting it wholesale. The revived figure's tragic arc underscores that nostalgia can be dangerous when it ignores the consequences of history.The hosts reflect on how this episode deepens the show's overarching themes. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs has always balanced spectacle with environmental caution, but Remembrance brings that philosophy to the forefront in a powerful way.Final Thoughts on RemembranceIn the end, Remembrance stands as one of the most thoughtful entries in the series. It trades pure action for emotional weight and philosophical stakes, reminding viewers that the greatest threats aren't always dinosaurs or poachers—sometimes they're the unresolved ghosts of yesterday.Tune in to The Superhero Show as the hosts break down every layered moment of Remembrance, exploring how the past shapes the future in a world still fighting to survive.Looking for More?Want to learn more about...

Facing Fears, Letting Go,  and Breathing   What if the thing you're most afraid of… is the exact mountain you were meant to ski? Welcome back to Be a Warrior. I'm Angie Heuser — above knee amputee, equine therapy lover, skier, and someone who refuses to live life from the sidelines. And if you've been following me the past several weeks, you know we've been diving deep into the energy of the Year of the Fire Horse — a year of movement, momentum, fearless expansion, courage, and decisive action. But before the fire horse came the snake. And I can't stop thinking about that metaphor. The Year of the Snake ended February 16th — a year of shedding. And if you've ever seen a snakeskin left behind, you know it's both fascinating and a little unsettling. Snakes don't just slip out of their skin like changing clothes. They rub up against rough surfaces. They press into discomfort. Sometimes it takes extra effort around the face or certain tight spots to fully shed what no longer fits. It's not gentle. And neither is growth. When I think about amputee life — about losing a limb, whether by trauma, illness, or in my case, elective amputation after years of surgeries — there is so much shedding. Shedding fear of the unknown. Shedding anger. Shedding grief. Shedding the identity we once had. And it doesn't happen smoothly. It happens against the rough edges of life. But once the shedding is done? The new skin is ready to grow. And that's where the Fire Horse comes in. This year only happens every sixty years — the Horse combined with the element of Fire. It's bold. It's fast. It rewards courage. It exposes comfort. It does not tolerate stagnation. And if you've built your life around playing small, it's going to make you very uncomfortable. Which brings me to the ski slopes. If you follow me online, you saw we were just in Park City. I've been skiing since I was seventeen — long before amputation. But I'll tell you something honestly: there isn't a single day I clip into my ski that I don't feel fear. Even now. Especially now. Three months after my amputation in 2018, I got back on the slopes. I had already missed five years of skiing due to surgeries. I had told my husband if I didn't ski that April, I might never do it again. So I did it scared. I did it sick to my stomach. I did it unsure. And here's what skiing has taught me — lessons that mirror life perfectly. First: the person in front of you has the right of way. On the mountain, it's your responsibility to avoid the skier ahead of you. What's behind you? That's their responsibility. Isn't that life? If I constantly look behind me — at my past, my trauma, my failures — I lose balance. Literally. With one leg, if I look back, I fall. And metaphorically? Same thing. If I live looking backward, I miss the beauty and the hazards in front of me. That doesn't mean I ignore the past. I learn from it. I listen. I stay aware. But I don't let it dictate my line down the mountain. Second: you will face forks in the slope. Left might be safe. Right might be steep. Green or black diamond. Easy or challenging. Comfort or growth. The Fire Horse energy says choose courage. Choose the line that stretches you. And I had that moment on this trip — two blue runs splitting off, one steeper than the other. I heard myself say, “Just go.” So I did. I picked up speed. I carved hard. I pushed myself. And eventually, my leg gave out and I ended up on my butt. Not a dramatic crash — more of a tired surrender.   Take five and reassess your path every now and then   But here's the thing: I was proud of that fall. Because if I'm not falling occasionally, I'm not pushing hard enough. Growth requires risk. Risk requires vulnerability. And vulnerability sometimes ends with snow in your face. Warriors aren't built in comfort. They're built in the steep sections. Third: breathe. One of the biggest lessons my ski instructors taught me after amputation was breathing rhythm. As I carve down the mountain, I exhale into the turn and inhale as I rise. The mountain becomes a rhythm — breathe in, breathe out. When I hold my breath, I tense up. When I tense up, I rely too much on my upper body. When I breathe, I find flow. How often in life do we grit our teeth and forget to breathe? When we breathe through discomfort, we release tension. We think clearly. We stay grounded. Whether you're walking in a prosthetic, stepping into a hard conversation, or heading into an interview — breathe.     Finally: visualize the run. I watched Olympic skiers at the top of the mountain, eyes closed, moving their bodies as they mentally rehearsed every turn. They had already succeeded in their minds before pushing off. That's not luck. That's preparation. If you only visualize falling, you'll hesitate. If you only picture failure, you'll create it. But if you visualize walking confidently in your prosthesis… if you visualize that difficult conversation going well… if you see yourself succeeding — you are building neural pathways toward that outcome. Will you still fall sometimes? Yes. But falling isn't failure. It's feedback. The Fire Horse doesn't reward perfection. It rewards courage. It rewards action. It rewards getting uncomfortable. I came home from those mountains thinking about all of you. About the warriors who are afraid to let that bold part of themselves out because it might mean discomfort. It might mean risk. It might mean exposing the places you've been playing small. But that's where grit is forged. That's where character is polished. That's where life gets amplified.     So here's my call to action: Do the thing that scares you this week. Maybe in baby steps. Maybe messy. Maybe imperfect. But do it. If you fall, smile. Ask yourself what you just learned. Visualize the next attempt. Breathe. Adjust your line. And go again. Stop waiting for the perfect mood, the perfect date, the perfect version of yourself. The mountain is here. YOUR mountain! Embrace it, charge forward! The Fire Horse energy is here. And you, warrior, are more capable than you think. Have a be-YOU-tiful week ahead and as always, Be healthy. Be happy. Be YOU!!!   Much love, What’s your “mountain”?

Sarah Shahi is back on the pod! This time in the wake of her new book Life Is Lifey. After her first appearance on the pod in 2023, she told me she wanted to write a book, so watching this all come to life has been wild (I even wrote the blurb and hosted her book signing !).

When you are in the thick of raising children, it can feel overwhelming to sort through expectations, opinions, and the daily logistics of family life. In this conversation, Jennifer shares what nearly three decades of motherhood have taught her about choosing peace in each season, homeschooling at your own pace, navigating special needs with a focus on progress, and letting go of unnecessary pressure. This episode offers perspective and encouragement for building a peaceful family culture that reflects your unique family. In this episode, we cover: - Introducing Jennifer's family of seven children ranging from 28 to 12 years old, life on a Wisconsin cranberry farm, and decades of homeschooling - What no one tells you about having a wide age range of children and the surprising gift of older kids becoming your “allies” in family life - How perspective shifts as children grow up, get married, and start families of their own, and why the years truly do move faster than you think - Letting go of early motherhood pressures about tidy homes, perfect routines, and outside expectations in order to create a peaceful family culture - Rethinking homeschool success through the lens of progress over grade levels, especially when navigating special needs - Practical rhythms for homeschooling multiple children with different abilities without doing everything at the same time - The freedom that comes with age and experience—why comparison loses its grip and confidence grows over time - Overthinking in modern motherhood, the pressure to “get it right” the first time, and permission to change your mind as you grow - What it's actually like to become a young grandmother while still raising children at home and how that dynamic reshapes family life - Embracing the evolving nature of family seasons instead of trying to control or predict them View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

I didn't plan this episode. It intercepted me. A detour. A pause. A moment where I chose trust instead of irritation, presence instead of control. This is about self-trust in real time. About learning the difference between honoring an emotion and letting it run your life. About recognizing when overwhelm isn't life being too much — it's you not being clear enough. And about the quiet power of creating space so you can actually receive what you say you want.Nothing here is theoretical. This is lived. If you're clinging to something because it's familiar, even though it no longer fits, this episode will meet you there — and ask you to tell the truth about what you're ready to release.⭐️YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe + leave 5⭐️Star rating +review HEREEnjoy! xRxFIND ME ON:️INSTAGRAMSUBSTACKYOUTUBEXTHREADS

What if thriving wasn't about having more, but about choosing differently? Rand Selig has spent a lifetime studying growth, leadership, relationships, and what it truly means to live well. With decades of global experience in business, service, and personal development, Rand believes thriving is not accidental. It's the result of intentional choices made over time. This episode explores how self-reflection, forgiveness, resilience, and personal responsibility shape the quality of our lives. Through thoughtful dialogue, Rand Selig and Chuck Thuss unpack why thriving starts with the relationship you have with yourself, how setbacks can become turning points, and what it takes to stop living on autopilot and start authoring your own story. Guest Bio Rand Selig holds an MBA from Stanford and dual undergraduate degrees in mathematics and psychology. For over 35 years, he has led his own financial services firm while living and working across Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Deeply committed to personal growth, service, and environmental conservation, Rand created Thriving! to help others embrace meaningful, positive change. He lives in Mill Valley, California, with his wife of over four decades and remains actively involved in mentorship, community leadership, and global service.   You'll hear About What it really means to "thrive" in today's world Why the most important relationship you'll ever have is with yourself How forgiveness and letting go free emotional energy Reframing setbacks as opportunities for growth Becoming the author of your own life story   Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Introduction 02:40 Rand's Background and Global Life Experience 05:20 Defining Thriving and Its Four Core Pillars 08:10 Why Personal Thriving Comes First 11:30 Self-Sabotage, Forgiveness, and Letting Go 15:00 The Power of Personal Choice 18:20 Navigating Setbacks and Building Resilience 22:30 Pain vs. Suffering and Reclaiming Agency 26:00 Becoming the Author of Your Own Story 30:20 Words, Self-Talk, and Emotional Health 34:00 Small Steps Toward Lasting Change 38:00 Rand's Message to Anyone Feeling Stuck 41:30 Where to Find Thriving! and Additional Resources 44:30 Chuck's Closing Reflections Chuck's Challenge This week, identify one area of your life where you've been reacting instead of choosing.

We can shoot more. We can post more. We can work harder. But if we never refine what we're building, growth eventually stalls.A rose garden doesn't flourish just because it gets sunlight and water. It flourishes because it's pruned with intention. The same is true for your wedding photography or filmmaking business.In this episode, we're talking about what it actually takes to elevate: archiving old work, refreshing your portfolio, upgrading your client experience, and letting go of habits that no longer reflect the level you're stepping into.Most creatives think the answer is adding more. More marketing. More weddings. More hustle. But real momentum comes from knowing what to remove. You can only bloom if you're willing to prune

When parenting feels uncertain or painful, the desire to control outcomes can quietly take over. Not because we are manipulative — but because we care deeply. In this episode of the Still Faithful series, we explore what it truly means to let go of control without letting go of love. This conversation gently separates responsibility from outcome, and invites parents into a posture of surrender that is steady rather than anxious. If you've found yourself rehearsing conversations, managing reactions, or carrying the weight of your child's choices, this episode offers reassurance: control is not the same as care — and releasing outcomes does not mean releasing love. In this episode, we explore: Why control often feels like responsibility for parents The emotional exhaustion that comes from managing outcomes The difference between surrender and withdrawal How love changes when control loosens Trusting that God is at work beyond what you can see Reflection questions: Take these slowly — there's no pressure to resolve anything today. Where am I trying to manage outcomes? What fears sit underneath my need for control? What would it look like to entrust this area fully to God? How might my posture shift if I believed God loves my child even more than I do? A practice for this week: "God, I release what I cannot control. Help me love without grasping. Help me trust without managing." Surrender is not a one-time decision. It is a posture we return to again and again. An important reminder: Letting go of control does not mean letting go of love. It means allowing love to be steady instead of anxious.   Connect with Melinda: melinda@melindapatrick.org https://melindapatrick.org/

Letting go of who we thought we were going to be. Letting go of the timeline, the plan, the version of ourselves we once imagined.Maybe life did not unfold the way you expected. Maybe months, years, or even decades have gone in a completely different direction than you thought they would. That realization can hurt. It can require mourning. It can require sitting with disappointment and unmet expectations. And that is okay.But what I want you to consider is this. If you are still here, you have survived and navigated a lot. You have grown. You have adapted. You have endured. And instead of living in regret or nostalgia, it is time to create space for who you are now.We live in a culture that constantly pulls us back into the past. Memories pop up. Nostalgia hits hard. We replay old versions of ourselves. But you cannot build your future while living in what used to be. You can appreciate your past without residing there.This episode is about making room. Making room to appreciate who you are in this moment. Making room to love the person in the mirror. Making room to choose a new direction from a calm headspace, moving at a deliberate pace.You do not have to abandon planning for the future. But you cannot sacrifice the present while chasing it. The goal is to live inside/out. Rooted in self connection. Rooted in appreciation. Rooted in the understanding that validation starts within.If this resonates with you, subscribe, rate, and review the podcast. It helps spread this message of choosing yourself and building your life from the inside/out.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

In this episode, we explore the biblical narrative of Sodom and Gomorrah, focusing on Lot's questionable decisions and the shocking events that led to the cities' destruction. We also uncover the true nature of Sodom's sin and draw lessons from Lot's wife's fate, emphasizing the importance of letting go of the past to move forward.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Sodom and Lot02:14 Hospitality and Lot's Horrifying Offer04:26 Angels Reveal Destruction05:32 Lot's Hesitation and Escape07:36 The Destruction and Lot's Wife10:05 Sodom's True Sin and Letting Go

This episode is about the part of growth we don't talk about enough — the loneliness. Living with intention, clarity, and alignment is powerful…but it can also feel isolating. It's hard to put new internal experiences into words. It's draining to constantly update or over-explain who you're becoming. And sometimes the people closest to you can't fully meet the version of you that's emerging. In this conversation, I share what I've learned through physical, emotional, and mental healing — releasing guilt around not staying in constant contact, grieving old versions of myself and relationships built on obligation, and allowing emotions like grief and anger without needing others to relate. We talk about: ✨Where you shrink to keep others comfortable ✨What emotional safety really means ✨Letting go of opinions when you're not harming anyone ✨And why growth often requires hard conversations If you've felt alone in your evolution, you're not crazy. You're growing. And emotional safety matters more than we admit.

In this episode, we sit down with Merida Miller — founder of Project Fearless, community builder with No Ordinary Women, TEDx speaker, gravel athlete, and self-described professional hype girl. Mérida has made it her life's work to empower young girls and gender-fluid youth to try new things, fall, and get back up again. From skateparks and classrooms, she has spent the past seven years helping girls and athletes build confidence through action — not by waiting to feel ready. In this deeply honest conversation, Mérida opens up about training courage one brave step at a time, redefining confidence, and leaning on community and hype-crew through panic attacks, long gravel race battles, and life's in-between chapters. In this episode:​Why being an amateur is something to be proud of​Racing for joy instead of podiums​Anxiety, ADHD, and “mental mechanicals”​The power of gratitude mid-race​Redefining leadership as listening​Designing a cycling jersey that sees you​And why finding your hype crew might be the most important training of all This episode isn't about being fearless. It's about showing up anyway — and cheering others while you do.

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Savia Rocks opens season seven of the Us People Podcast with reflections on legacy, peeling away cultural conditioning and trauma, listening, and making choices that serve what matters. She interviews  Nuttha Goutier co-founder and CEO of Sabai Thai Spa, who shares growing up in a small village in Thailand with no running water or electricity where community support, joy in hard work, and living in the moment shaped her values. Nuttha describes immigrating to Canada over 25 years ago, overcoming setbacks, doubt, depression, and personal losses by acknowledging the past, letting go, and focusing on present choices, defining herself by resilience. She explains her purpose for building spas as creating a welcoming, belonging “home” experience, promoting self-care as a routine, supporting local communities, and planting a tree for every massage, with success defined by people's happiness and community impact. She outlines her daily routine (early wake-up, meditation, exercise, preparing four kids for school, and choosing gratitude), discusses wellness as preventive care for mind, body, and spirit, and argues that caring for yourself leads to kindness toward others.  Nuttha Goutier speaks about avoiding judgment through respect and acceptance, concerns about technology's impact on younger generations, and suggests more nature, meditation, and yoga in schools. 00:00 Welcome to Yes People Podcast01:24 Meet  Nuttha Goutier02:23 Growing Up in Thailand03:22 Finding Joy in Hard Work05:14 Life as a Journey05:44 Building Through Belief06:31 Self Care and Balance07:15 Looking in the Mirror08:23 Overcoming Life's Challenges10:53 The Power of Resilience11:26 Dealing with Trauma12:37 Letting Go of the Past13:53 Finding Your Purpose15:15 Creating Meaningful Impact17:12 Why Start a Spa Business17:37 Everyone Has a Gift18:14 Defining Success19:36 The Sabai Spa Experience21:12 A Day in the Life22:43 Morning Routine and Mindset23:18 Choosing Your Emotions24:32 Embracing Imperfection25:46 Understanding Wellness and Wellbeing26:45 Wellbeing and Self Care27:23 Preventative Health Philosophy28:16 Body as Vehicle30:05 Judgment and Respect32:05 Technology and Modern Generation34:55 Life Lessons and Quotes36:00 Carrying with Your Heart37:40 Three Ps of Success38:32 Best Advice from Dad39:58 Choices Equal Results41:31 Living Each Day Fully43:03 Forest Meditation Practice44:20 Meditation Journey and Growth45:36 Mental Health and Awareness46:48 Connect and Find Out More47:57 Final Words and GratitudeWebsite: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nutthagoutier/Website: https://www.instagram.com/nutthagoutier/Website: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573378331497&ref=pro_upsell_xav_ig_profile_page_web#Website: https://sabaithai.com/Thank you so much Nuttha Goutier for reminding us that the beauty of kindly has always lied within us - Savia RocksSupport the show

Upgrade to the Ad Free Premium Podcast Experience - https://rachelhollis.supercast.com Rachel Hollis gives a tough-love talk on self-deception—how people perform a version of their lives (especially through social media) to feel significant, but end up emptier because they avoid facing what's real. She breaks down three common lies (performing growth instead of doing it, living in “someday,” and performing for an audience) and offers steps to get honest: a reality-check person, a calendar/bank audit, and saying the true thing out loud.

There's a pressure you've been feeling lately. A quiet sense that your current results, identity, or life no longer fit who you're capable of becoming. And here's the truth most people don't want to admit: growth doesn't feel like confidence — it feels like discomfort. Expansion feels like uncertainty. It feels like being stretched. It feels like something has to change… but you're not sure what. In this episode, I break down what expansion really requires. Not just chasing bigger goals — but becoming the person capable of holding bigger goals. Because you can't expand while protecting the identity that created your current results. In this episode, you'll learn: Why growth begins with discomfort — not clarity How holding onto what's familiar is secretly suffocating your expansion Why your current identity is producing your current results The lobster molting metaphor and how it applies to your life and performance How to create energetic capacity for success through release Four powerful reflection questions to identify what you must let go of One simple but bold action step to initiate your next level If you want lower scores, greater success, more impact, more peace, or more freedom — this conversation will challenge you to let go before you level up. Expansion isn't about getting more. It's about becoming more.

You must release before you receive — expansion requires letting go of old beliefs, habits, and commitments to create space for more. Your current identity is producing your current results — different outcomes require becoming a different person at the core. Expansion includes a period of vulnerability — temporary uncertainty is the price of increased capacity. Expansion is a lifelong cycle — pressure, release, reorganization, and greater capacity repeat at every new level. Key Quotes: "Growth does not begin with clarity. It begins with discomfort." "The life you want cannot fit inside the identity you're currently protecting." "Holding on to what is familiar suffocates growth." "The shell that once protected you eventually becomes the shell that limits you." "Expansion begins the moment you stop protecting who you were and start building who you're becoming."

Carlii Lyon has spent more than two decades helping extraordinary people shape their stories, from supermodels and global entrepreneurs to bestselling authors and spiritual leaders. As a publicist, she built reputations that captured the world’s attention, but over time her work shifted from curating others’ narratives to reclaiming her own.

What if the hustle that got you here is the exact thing holding you back? In this episode, I sit down with Alex McFadyen, founder of Flow Mortgage, to talk about what happens when working harder stops working. Alex shares the pivotal moment that forced him to rethink everything, from how he leads, to how he protects his energy, to how he measures success. If you've ever felt like you're running at full speed but not getting ahead, this conversation will hit home. What We Cover: The Productivity Trap – Why working more hours eventually works against you. From Broker to Leader – How Alex had to shift his identity to scale his business. The Energy Audit – What he changed to protect his time and mental clarity. Letting Go of Guilt – Why stepping back doesn't mean you're giving up. Building a Real Business – How to grow something that works without burning you out. More hustle isn't the answer. Clarity, structure, and leadership are.

When purpose feels lost, it may simply be in transition. In this episode, we explore how to reframe moments of uncertainty as periods of recalibration rather than failure or misdirection. We talk about the importance of feeling your feelings, telling yourself the truth about where you are, and accepting the present moment without getting caught in draining narratives. Obstacles, as we remind ourselves, are on the way—not in the way. We also discuss the power of pausing, cultivating patience, and staying present through times of change. This conversation is a gentle reminder that you are always aligned with your purpose, even when clarity feels distant, and that trust and presence will guide you back to your path in perfect timing.Have you joined our Facebook Group yet?

"You're always going to have blinders on you. You have to be open to sometimes things that go against what you originally believe, but yet are going to best support your business." —Chris Salem   Sales stalls fast when teams talk in features and scripts while buyers think in challenges, results, and personality-driven needs. Many of us pour money into ads and lead gen, then wonder why conversations drag, trust stays low, and deals take too many touchpoints. This episode gets honest about the real gap: misaligned sales communication and mixed signals within the business. Chris Salem, an expert in business communication, shares how years of work in emotional intelligence, business communication, and revenue growth led to a simple, practical way to align messaging with buyer personalities and company culture. His work with small firms and 600-person construction teams shows how inside-out communication shifts can move KPIs, retention, and profit. Hit play to learn, reflect, and upgrade how our businesses talk, decide, and sell, including: The real reason lead gen and SEO underperform How buyer personalities shape decisions and timelines Using simple "what, how, who, why" messaging in sales Turning internal communication into better KPIs and profit Moving from control and reactivity to systems and delegation Why coachability, humility, and vision repetition change results   Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube   Episode Highlights: 02:44 Why Your Marketing Fails: The Real Reason Lead Gen and SEO Don't Convert 05:03 The 4 Buying Personalities Explained 09:35 What, How, Who, Why: Aligning Your Sales Message to Personality Types 13:08 Selling Is Serving: Trust, Rapport, and the Inside-Out Growth Formula 18:37 Grow the People, Grow the Business 21:02 Top 3 Small Business Problems: Messaging, Roles, and Delegation 24:02 Letting Go of "This Is How We've Always Done It" in Leadership 29:41 Boundaries, Generosity, and the Law of Prosperity in Business

Awaken begins a new lenten series called "unburdened" that explores concepts in faith that have been given to us that we are encouraged to unpack and consider releasing from our experience of Christianity. Pastor Micah kicks off the series by discussing how we might let go of a version of evangelism that places so much emphasis on certainty, the after life, and our personal responsibility for another's salvation. 

The sermon centers on Jacob's transformative encounter with God at Peniel, a pivotal moment in his life marked by divine wrestling, personal surrender, and spiritual renewal. Beginning with Jacob's history as a deceiver—defined by manipulation, deceit, and self-reliance—the narrative traces his journey from fleeing his past to returning to Bethel, the very place of his earlier dream and promise, as a deliberate act of consecration. In solitude, Jacob wrestles with a divine figure, symbolizing a profound confrontation with his sin, pride, and fear, ultimately leading to his surrender and a new identity as Israel, meaning 'one who struggles with God and prevails.' This encounter, marked by physical injury and lasting humility, signifies the cost of true transformation: the relinquishing of self-worth, cunning, and control in favor of dependence on God. The sermon emphasizes that genuine spiritual growth requires such painful yet necessary encounters—where conviction leads not to despair but to grace, where humility opens the door to divine blessing, and where reconciliation with others becomes possible only after reconciliation with God. The message culminates in a call to all believers to embrace this wrestling match, to stop relying on their own wisdom, and to pursue a life of consecration, where God's rule supersedes self-rule, and where the promise of restoration is found not in human effort, but in divine encounter.

Parenting often feels like a high-stakes balancing act, especially when raising neurodivergent children. The pressure to get it right, advocate effectively, and manage dysregulation can leave parents frustrated and exhausted. But what if the key to being a calmer, more effective parent wasn't about doing more, but about treating yourself with more kindness? Today, Emily sits down with Dr. Jen Ferris, a former child development professor and author of Parenting with Self-Compassion. They move beyond the fluffy idea of "self-care" to discuss self-compassion as a concrete tool for nervous system regulation. They also talk about how perfectionism and comparison fuel chronic stress, and why letting our kids see us make mistakes (and fix them) might actually be the best lesson in resilience we can teach them. TAKEAWAYS Self-compassion consists of three parts: self-kindness, mindfulness, and common humanity. Perfectionism is often a response to uncertainty and a need for reassurance that they are on the right path. Parents who admit mistakes and apologize model resilience, and show it's safe to be imperfect. It's difficult to rationalize with a dysregulated child. Focus on safety and connection instead. Replacing negative self-talk with self-compassion can change the emotional climate of the home. The Educator Hub is now open, this week only! Come join us.

The Style Reset continues, and this time, we go deeper. In Part Two of The Style Reset: How to Dress for the Life You're Actually Living, the conversation shifts from lifestyle alignment to something far more personal: closet guilt. The Style Reset continues, and this time the conversation goes deeper. In this follow-up episode of Wisdom From the Wardrobe, we move beyond identifying how you actually live and into one of the biggest obstacles standing between you and effortless personal style: guilt. We begin, as always, with In the News. This week, we reflect on the passing of legendary Italian designer Valentino Garavani, his cinematic inspirations, enduring glamour, and the unmistakable legacy of Valentino red, before pivoting to fashion's lighter side with the latest Crocs x Lego collaboration. From couture to clogs, it's proof that fashion holds space for both reverence and play. Then we turn inward and focus on letting go of guilt around the pieces you don't wear. Why do we hold onto clothes that no longer serve our daily lives, and how does that emotional weight keep us stuck in the same outfit cycle? We explore the idea that clothing is a tool, not a moral obligation, and how creating an "archive" mindset allows you to honor beautiful pieces without forcing them into everyday rotation. If part one was about aligning your wardrobe with your lifestyle, this episode is about giving yourself permission to evolve. This is a thoughtful, honest look at personal style growth, wardrobe mindset shifts, and redefining what it means to truly dress for the life you're living now. Happy Styling!
