Get ready for Episode 189 of On the Delo as David DeLorenzo reconnects with designer and founder Dala for a real, behind-the-scenes conversation on motherhood, leadership, and building a boutique hospitality design firm that actually supports life outside of work. From early episodes recorded in a conference room to a thriving studio with 12 team members, Dala opens up about how becoming a mom, facing an early breast cancer diagnosis, and scaling House of Form have sharpened her focus on time, team, and purpose.Dala shares how “$1 tasks,” choosing CEO over designer, and building the right leadership layer allowed her to step out of the day-to-day and into higher-value work, all while expanding from food and beverage into hotels, multifamily, branding, retail, and events. The two dig into why thoughtful design is a business tool—not a luxury extra—for restaurants and hospitality concepts, plus how Off the Menu, her nonprofit for emerging F&B concepts, is now supporting founders across the country with mentorship and grants. If you're a restaurateur, hospitality operator, or creative entrepreneur trying to grow without burning out, this episode delivers tactical insight, honest reflection, and plenty of laughs.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 3:13) Four Years Later: Return to the Pod and Episode 189(3:14 - 8:45) From Two Employees to Twelve: Team Growth, New Verticals, and Culture at House of Form(8:46 - 16:55) Systems, AI, and One-of-One Design: How Dala Scales Creativity Without Losing Soul(16:56 - 22:30) Off the Menu and Early Detection: Nonprofit Impact and Dala's Breast Cancer Journey(22:31 - 29:54) Projects, PV Mall, and A Week in the Life of a Mom-CEO(29:55 - 39:58) Travel, Calendars, Spa Dreams, and What Really Recharges Dala

You Cheated. You're Not a Monster. Here's How to Understand Yourself and Become the Man You Meant to Be. You're not a monster because you cheated— you are a hurting human who never learned how to feel, name, and heal what's going on inside. And understanding that and forgiving yourself is the key to rebuilding trust, whether you stay together or not. This episode is a love letter—and a challenge—to the betrayer. Whether you're the one who cheated or you're the partner trying to understand how the person you love could hurt you so deeply, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what's really going on inside the betraying partner. Lora shares honest, vulnerable insights from walking beside her husband through his infidelity, exploring why most men genuinely don't know why they cheated, how shame and unresolved boyhood wounds fuel destructive coping, and what it actually takes to become trustworthy again. You'll learn how to move from “I'm a monster” to “I made a devastating mistake—and I'm willing to change,” so both of you can stop walking on eggshells and start moving toward clarity, accountability, and healing. Top 3 Takeaways Why “I don't know why I did it” is often true—just not the whole truth. Most betrayers genuinely don't know the root cause of their cheating because they were never taught to identify or communicate their emotions. Until they can name what they're feeling—rejection, shame, emasculation, grief—cheating will continue to be a maladaptive coping mechanism, not a “character flaw problem” to shame away. Your actions don't define your core—but your accountability does. There's a profound difference between being a cheater and having cheated. Lora breaks down how to step out of the “cheater” identity and back into integrity through nervous system regulation, consistent follow-through (“do what you say you'll do”), and small, repeated acts of honor that show you're becoming truly trustworthy again. Healing requires feeling it all—without fleeing, fixing, or deflecting. From the sticky note that said “Feel it all” to simple somatic practices like standing in your integrity, brushing off old attachments, and speaking from your gut instead of your head, you'll learn concrete ways to sit with your own shame, regret, and pain and hold space for your partner's rage and grief—without collapsing, defending, or running away.

Change isn't here to break you, it's here to build your next chapter. In this episode, Dr. Michelle Barr walks you through 5 powerful steps to help you release what no longer serves, reconnect with your desires, and move forward with clarity, courage, and Soul-led action. Get ready to love what's next - on your terms.

In today's Girls Night, we're talking about what to do when you've done everything “right” and it's still not working. Maybe you've followed the rules, made the plans, gone to therapy, prayed the prayers, checked all the boxes… and yet your life, career, relationships, or family story still don't look anything like what you hoped for. It feels like you're stuck in a giant “this is not what I ordered” moment, especially in this Everything Era where all the big decisions seem to pile up at once. As we wrap up this season of the show (and before I take a break from Girls Night for a good chunk of next year), I'm sharing two things I really want to leave you with: You get to want what you want. You have more agency than it feels like you do. I'll read a section from my book, Create a Life You Love, and we'll walk through practical tools for what to do when doors aren't opening: when to quit, when to keep going, when to change tactics, how to invest in the life you have right now, and how to ask for help when you're exhausted. If you're looking around thinking, “I thought I'd be further along by now,” this episode is for you. You are not behind. You are not failing. And you're not as stuck as you feel.

What if the moment you thought would break you actually became the moment that redirected your entire life? In today's episode, Syd sits down with Macy Grishaw, founder of Lymph Lounge, to talk about healing, courage, and choosing a new path even when life feels heavy. Macy shares how she went from grief, postpartum challenges, and uncertainty to building a wellness brand that now supports hundreds of women. Her story is a reminder that purpose often reveals itself through the hardest chapters and that you can start again at any point. This conversation is powerful, emotional, and so aligned with what it means to live a wellthy life. It is about trusting your gut, taking the smallest next steps, and allowing yourself to create a life that feels like yours. What you'll learn: How Macy transformed pain into purpose Why trusting small steps builds the brand you're meant to create What lymphatic drainage actually does and why it changes your energy, recovery, and clarity How to know if you're meant to pivot The role community and the right partner play in growth  Simple daily habits to support your lymphatic system CONNECT WITH MACY & THE LYMPH LOUNGE: Instagram → @lymphlounge.co Book a session → https://www.lymphlounge.co/

From Shattered to Shining (Holiday Edition) How to Rebuild Hope, Identity & Sparkle After Betrayal There's a moment after betrayal when you look in the mirror and don't recognize yourself anymore. Not because you're weak — but because you've been trying so hard to survive, hold everything together, and make sense of a world that suddenly stopped making sense. If your sparkle feels dulled… If you feel like the woman you once were is gone… This episode will remind you: She's still in there. And hope is still in there too. ---In this powerful episode, Lora takes you deep into what really breaks during betrayal — hope, identity, safety, and the sense of who you are. Last week's show revealed that hope doesn't die; hope hides. This week, you'll learn how to begin revealing yourself again — layer by layer — so your hope can return and your sparkle can rise. Lora shares how the FLAUNT!® framework was “downloaded” years before her own betrayal, how it became the blueprint that saved her life, and how you can use these same steps to move from shattered to shining this holiday season. You'll also hear the full story behind the free December 1st From Shattered to Shining Book Club & Workshop — a guided, experiential celebration of healing, revealing, and reclaiming your joy. This is the episode to listen to if you feel lost, dulled, destabilized, or disconnected — especially heading into the holidays. TOP 3 TAKEAWAYS Your sparkle isn't gone — it's covered. Betrayal doesn't “break” you. It buries you under grief, shock, and roles you never meant to carry. Healing is not fixing — it's revealing. Hope hides beneath layers — but it's never lost. Hope disappears under masks, roles, labels, and survival patterns. When you begin to unmask yourself, hope becomes possible again. FLAUNT!® is a clinically-backed framework for betrayal recovery. Originally built for empowerment, it became the missing map for navigating infidelity: F – Find Your Fetish (joy) L – Laugh Out Loud (regulate your nervous system) A – Accept Unconditionally (what is true) N – Navigate the Negative (integrate, don't avoid) T – Trust in Your Truth (stand in who you are becoming) Rebuild your identity, your hope, and your sparkle with Lora's free two-hour virtual workshop: From Shattered to Shining: A Book Club Experience for Women Who Are Ready to Feel Like Themselves Again December 1, 11 am – 1 pm PST, 12 pm – 2 pm MST, 1 pm – 3 pm CST, 2 pm – 4 pm EST, 7 pm – 9 pm GMT, 8 pm – 10 pm CET, 6 am – 8 am AEDT (next day) Free on Zoom (+ replay) Bring your copy of FLAUNT!

No one plans to lose their financial independence. But for many women, it happens slowly, quietly, over years of caregiving and career pauses. In today's episode, Jessi Hempel sits down with Steph Wagner, expert voice in women's wealth and financial empowerment and author of Fly: A Woman's Guide to Financial Freedom and Building a Life You Love, to talk about what it really takes to rebuild your financial life. Steph began her career in investment banking, drawn to numbers, strategy, and financial control. A brief pause from work to focus on motherhood turned into 14 years, during which she lost her income, confidence, and ultimately her marriage. When she discovered her husband's double life, she was surprised to find herself financially unprepared. Her story is one many women will recognize, whether the catalyst is divorce, job loss, grief, or a major life transition.  Jessi and Steph discuss: How women slowly lose financial power, and how to take it back The emotional toll of financial dependence, shame, and starting over Why so many of us carry scarcity mindsets we don't even realize we learned in childhood How to identify your “money personality” and how it shapes your habits How compounding interest and awareness of opportunity cost can quietly transform your financial future Why traditional budgets fail and Steph's 45/20/35 model that actually works How to talk about money with partners, kids, and family members who have their own money beliefs What it really looks like to rebuild your identity after financial and emotional collapse And how to build healthier relationships without giving up your financial autonomy again Steph's story is a reminder that financial freedom isn't about having more money, it's about understanding your choices, aligning them with your values, and believing you're capable of steering your own life. The skills are learnable. And it's never too late to begin.

From Performance to Presence: The Holiday Shift That Brings Back the Magic (Especially After Betrayal) What would it be like to actually feel the moment you're working so hard to create? In this powerful pre-Thanksgiving episode, Lora gets real about the way so many women — especially those healing after betrayal — kill themselves trying to stage the “perfect” holiday, only to feel numb, resentful, or empty inside. From Hallmark-movie expectations to Norman Rockwell Thanksgivings, Lora unpacks how performance, perfectionism, control, and emotional over-functioning have been culturally trained into women… and how betrayal often ramps those patterns up even more. You'll learn why performance is actually a nervous system survival response (fawn/fix), how it quietly steals your joy, and what it means to shift into deep, grounded presence — so you can finally experience the love, connection, and magic you've been trying to manufacture for everyone else. Just in time for the holidays, this episode is your invitation to stop chasing the moment… and start feeling it. Top 3 Takeaways Performance is how we manage love when we no longer trust it. After betrayal and in dysfunctional family systems, performance becomes protection. We over-do, over-give, and over-function to cover our fear that love, safety, or support won't be there. Performance is a nervous system response — presence is where the healing happens. Beyond fight/flight/freeze, Lora explains the “fourth F”: fawn/fix. That impulse to keep everyone happy, keep everything perfect, and pretend you're fine is actually a trauma response that blocks creativity, intimacy, and joy. Your joy was never stolen by betrayal — it was stolen by the patterns you learned before it. Betrayal doesn't destroy your joy; it uncovers the truth about all the ways you've been stealing it from yourself through scripts, shoulds, and chronic performance. Presence is how you get it back. Favorite Quotes “The harder we try to create the perfect experience, the further we drift from actually feeling it.” “Performance is how we manage love when we no longer trust it.” “Presence is our soul's way of being felt.” “Your joy has not been stolen by betrayal. Betrayal simply uncovers the truth about the behaviors that were stealing your joy long before.” Free FLAUNT!

When Sharon Price John was a kid, she spent a summer determined to climb a massive tree. After several falls, she reached the top, only to realize she didn't know how to get down.

In this episode, Laura explores a question that often brings women more confusion than clarity: "What is my purpose?" Drawing from her own reflections and from coaching breast cancer survivors, she reframes the conversation around a far more supportive question: "Am I living on purpose?"

Is It Addiction—or Acting Out? Rebuilding Safety, Empathy & Choice After Betrayal -with Sexologist Cheryl Camarillo After betrayal, you're left asking impossible questions: Was it an addiction? A choice? Can it change? This powerful conversation with sexologist and social worker Cheryl Camarillo brings clarity, compassion, and grounded hope. Together, Lora and Cheryl unpack how to tell the difference between sexual addiction and acting-out behavior, what integrity abuse really means, and why empathy—not shame—is the foundation for healing. You'll learn how to assess whether reconciliation is truly possible, what real accountability looks like, and why safety, trust, and emotional regulation must come before intimacy. Whether you stay or go, this episode will help you understand the path forward so you can heal on every level—mind, body, and soul. Top 3 Takeaways Addiction vs. Acting Out: Understanding the root of your partner's behavior determines the right kind of help and prevents further harm. Integrity Abuse & Entitlement: When promises and empathy break down, healing can't begin until accountability replaces defensiveness. Safety Before Sex: Real intimacy rebuilds through empathy, co-regulation, and emotional safety—not through “hysterical bonding” or performance.

As humans, we are governed by our core beliefs, many of which we aren't even aware of. There are so many things we believe to be true and so many foundational concepts of our perception we never question. So in this episode, we're going to question them. Ram Dass was an American Spiritual teacher, psychologist, and writer. He gained popularity in the early 1960s by bringing concepts of consciousness and spirituality from India, to America.  His book, "Be Here Now" is a spiritual classic selling over two million copies. He began as a professor at Harvard before being fired along with Timothy Leary for experimenting and advocating the use of psychedelics. Now, as a proper Christian, I was fairly unaware of Ram Dass. That is until the winter of 2024 when my Dad, Dan Miller of 48 Days To The Work & Life You Love fame, was diagnosed with cancer. During the six weeks between his diagnosis and ultimate death, he had little interest in any topic other than spirituality. And one of the people he tuned into was Ram Dass. My brother Jared and my Dad would pull up YouTube videos of Ram Dass and I got my first real exposure. My spiritual journey since then has been nothing short of revelatory. And such was my delight when the giant publisher, Harper, contacted me about doing a show on a new book from Ram Dass. What it ended up being was a new book compiled from over 50 talks Ram Dass conducted, compiled and edited by Parvati Markus, who was at the right hand of Ram Dass since the beginning of his spiritual leadership. Parvati is an author of multiple books on spirituality and one of the closest long term friends to Ram Dass that ever existed. In this episode Parvati joins me to talk through key issues Ram discusses such as our human propensity, especially in western cultures, to think in terms of “us” vs “them.” We discuss Judgement vs appreciation. Then attachments and the danger of what we cling to. And we spend a lot of time talking about the dangers of identifying with our roles, which for much of humanity, again, I think exaggerated in our western culture, is all that we know to identify with. The new book, which I've read front to back twice now, is There Is No Other: The Way to Harmony and Wholeness. Connect more at ramdass.org.

Living with Intention: The Daily Habits That Build a Life You Love This week, Melissa continues the conversation from Episode 239 — The #1 Thing Standing Between You and the Life You Want — where she shared the importance of getting clear on what you want. Now, in Part Two, she goes deeper into what to do once you've found that clarity, and how to live with intention even in the middle of life's stress, chaos, and constant demands. Click here to listen to part one on Apple!  Click here to listen and read on our website! In this episode, Melissa shares insights from a workshop she recently gave to women at her church about living intentionally and managing the mental load that comes with modern life. She explains what "intentional living" really means — making choices based on your values and goals instead of defaulting to busyness or comparison — and walks through a practical exercise you can do right now: asking yourself, What do I really want? She guides listeners through a journaling activity that reveals recurring themes, hidden desires, and areas where you might need more clarity. Then, she moves into the second half of the conversation — managing stress in real life. From a day spent painting with her kids that turned chaotic to simple strategies for lowering stress hormones like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, Melissa shows that living intentionally doesn't mean living perfectly — it means noticing what's working and making small, conscious adjustments. She also highlights one of the most underused yet powerful tools for reducing anxiety and increasing self-awareness: journaling. Melissa shares research showing its benefits and how writing down what's in your head — no matter how messy — can be both healing and clarifying. This episode is a gentle, encouraging reminder that you don't have to overhaul your life to live more intentionally. Sometimes it's as simple as pausing, reflecting, and asking: What's one thing I can do today to move closer to the life I truly want?   LINKS: All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.  Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 – Welcome to Part Two of the Living with Intention series 01:00 – Why this episode stands alone but connects to clarity (Part One) 02:00 – What intentional living actually means — and what it doesn't 03:30 – Knowing what you want and living in alignment with it 05:00 – Why this question — "What do I want?" — keeps showing up 06:30 – The writing exercise: ask yourself the question seven times 08:00 – Identifying patterns and themes in your answers 09:00 – How clarity leads to alignment and purpose 10:00 – Transition: managing the mental load of daily life 11:00 – The painting story — and how "small stress" still adds up 12:30 – The four happiness chemicals and how to activate them 13:30 – Dopamine: reward yourself and celebrate small wins 14:00 – Oxytocin: connection through touch, kindness, and service 14:30 – Serotonin: stability through sun, nature, and mindfulness 15:00 – Endorphins: joy through laughter, movement, and music 16:00 – The surprising science behind journaling and stress relief 17:30 – Why journaling is powerful — and why we often avoid it 19:00 – How confronting your thoughts can lead to healing 20:00 – Creating your personal plan of action 21:00 – One small step toward more peace and less stress 22:00 – Closing encouragement: be still, do what brings you joy, and live with intention

Struggling with costs in your healthcare organization? Reach out to Michael.  Click Here for more info Journey to Financial Independence with Kam Dasani In this inspiring episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, we sat down with Kam Dasani to explore his journey from a high-paying corporate role in Silicon Valley to full financial independence through trading and investing. Kam shared how he transitioned from a $250,000 salary to a life of true freedom—where time, location, and purpose all align. His story offers valuable insights for anyone ready to step away from the corporate treadmill and design a life on their own terms. From Corporate Hustle to Freedom Kam opened up about leaving behind the demanding pace of Silicon Valley in pursuit of autonomy and balance. He shared how he built multiple income streams—from investing to trading—and how financial freedom granted him the ability to live life on his own schedule. The discussion reminded listeners that success isn't just about wealth; it's about having control over your time and energy. The Power of Location and Lifestyle Design We discussed the high costs and burnout culture of San Francisco compared to the slower, more fulfilling lifestyle Kam found in Dallas. He shared how geographic freedom has been key to his happiness and flexibility, proving that financial independence can also bring peace of mind. Trading, he noted, offered a career path that fit perfectly with his desire for flexibility and mobility. Smart Investing and the Role of Research We talked about the importance of doing deep research before making investment decisions. While AI tools can support the process, Kam and our team emphasized that critical thinking and due diligence remain essential. We also clarified that our discussion serves as educational insight, not financial advice. Risk-Free Trading Through Prop Firms Kam shared how he discovered prop firm trading after connecting with Mahul Patel, a former Goldman Sachs algorithm trader. Prop firms give traders access to leveraged capital with minimal personal risk—traders keep 80% of profits while risking only a small portion of their own funds. Kam explained how understanding this model opened doors to sustainable, low-risk trading opportunities. Futures Trading and Financial Leverage We explored futures trading, where markets run nearly 24/5, and discussed how this structure enables traders to maximize returns while maintaining low operational costs. Kam revealed that with about 10 hours of training per month, he learned strategies that outperformed many traditional side businesses. Together, we emphasized the discipline required to manage leveraged funds responsibly. Real Estate, Mentorship, and Managing Emotions The conversation turned to real estate, where we compared risk profiles and discussed the importance of mentorship—such as Kam's guidance from his uncle and professional brokers. Kam also reflected on how emotional regulation plays a crucial role in trading and investing success. His story of reaching millionaire status underscored the importance of mindset, patience, and mentorship in achieving financial goals. Final Reflections Kam's journey is a testament to the power of intentional living, strategic investing, and self-discipline. For those dreaming of leaving the 9-to-5 grind, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insight into how to make that transition responsibly and sustainably. Kam's bio: My name is Kam Dasani - I'm a top 1% Futures & Options trader who helps others escape the rat race through trading. If you think it's too good to be true, my team is ex-Goldman Sachs and we have $4M in capital that we are trading with. On this channel, I don't only talk about trading. I talk about (and show) the life that I've built through skills and connections. I interview others in similar spaces, as well as my clients who have seen success by trusting me.

Hope After Betrayal: Rebuilding When Everything You Believed In Falls Apart “We don't always realize it, but one of the hardest parts of betrayal isn't the lies or even the loss of love—it's the shattering of hope.” — Lora Cheadle In this intimate episode, Lora reframes hope as the bridge between devastation and a life rebuilt—not toxic positivity or waiting for someone else to change, but grounded, embodied hope rooted in your choices, compassion, meaning, and connection. You'll hear the four stages of hope after betrayal (from false hope to grounded hope), how to spot the difference between wishful thinking and true hope, and five practical ways to bring hope back online in your body and your life—no matter which path your relationship takes. Top 3 Takeaways Name the real injury: The deepest wound of betrayal isn't just the loss of trust—it's the death of hope. Feeling hopeless is a nervous-system protection, not a personal failure. True hope vs. toxic hope: Toxic hope waits for someone else to change; true hope trusts you to create peace, safety, and joy again—regardless of the outcome. From flicker to foundation: Rebuild hope through Connection, Choice, Compassion, Meaning/Faith, and Embodiment—small, consistent actions that restore agency and let your body feel hopeful again.

How to Feel Like Yourself Again After Betrayal — Without Fixing a Thing “What if feeling like yourself again isn't about fixing anything—but releasing what isn't you anymore?” — Lora Cheadle Healing isn't supposed to be another job. In this soul-stirring solo episode, Lora Cheadle reframes recovery from betrayal, showing why focusing on fixing what's broken only keeps you stuck in the cycle of pain. Instead of “working on” yourself, what if you started creating yourself — not the perfect version, but the real one? Through the Alter Ego Embodiment Exercise from her book FLAUNT! Drop Your Cover and Reveal Your Smart, Sexy & Spiritual Self, Lora invites you to use art, imagination, and movement to rediscover who you are beneath the masks, labels, and expectations. This isn't about performing for others — it's about performing to stop performing. You'll practice being the version of you who already feels peaceful, playful, and free, until it becomes second nature. Whether you're newly betrayed or years past discovery day, this episode will help you exhale, unclench, and reconnect with the woman inside who's ready to feel good again — not someday, but now. You'll Learn Why focusing on “healing” often leads to more healing work (and not more freedom) How to shift from fixing the past to creating your future self The safe, playful power of alter ego embodiment to reclaim confidence and joy How to integrate your shadow and higher self into a Statement of Divine Empowerment Why somatic release through dance and movement (like Yogalesque®) works better than thinking your way through pain Join the Creation and the Conversation: FREE FLAUNT!

Feeling Like “It's Not Fair” After Betrayal? Let Go of Blame, Choose Peace & Reclaim Your Power –A coaching session with Jane “You can have a grudge or you can have freedom—but you can't have both.” — Lora Cheadle When betrayal detonates your life, “It's not fair” becomes the drumbeat in your head. In this intimate coaching session with “Jane,” we walk the real path from righteous anger and blame to sovereignty: naming what's actually happening (mental/physical exhaustion), discerning what you can control (boundaries, micro-choices), and choosing peace over the power of the grudge. If you've been holding the story together for your kids, your home, and everyone else—while seething at the unequal load—this conversation will meet you exactly where you are and offer a way through. Top 3 Takeaways Grudge vs. Freedom: You can have a grudge or you can have freedom—but not both. The shift begins by noticing when you're in blame and choosing peace on purpose. Name the Real Problem: Trade the story (“This is all his fault”) for the truth in your body (“This is mentally and physically exhausting”). Naming what is puts your power where your feet are. Micro-Choices Restore Agency: One firm “no” a week and one nourishing “yes” a week for six weeks changes your nervous system, your schedule, and your sense of self. Episode Highlights Why anger is sometimes a functional fuel—and how to thank it without letting it drive. The fairness myth: differentiating external unfairness from creating internal justice. “Give him the victim seat.” If someone must occupy it, let it be him—so you can choose the seat of peace. Language swap that changes everything: from “I have to” → “I am choosing to.” A simple boundary: “Please stop texting me.” Why this one sentence matters for your nervous system and your future.

Being cancer-free doesn't always mean we've healed. After 14 years of managing cancer, I've learned that healing is about more than scans and lab results—it's about reclaiming joy, peace, and meaning in the present moment. In this episode, I share stories of women who stopped waiting for permission to live and how research shows that hope, gratitude, and laughter can support real healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.   Explore more support: Better Than Before Breast Cancer Life Coaching Membership: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/lifecoaching Creating a Life You Love in 168 Hours a Week: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/168-hours-sp   Let's Connect!
