Grief doesn't disappear, it changes form.After losing her beloved cat Charlotte at nearly 20 years old, Michelle was surprised by just how deeply the loss affected her. While it didn't mirror the grief she experienced after losing her father, it brought its own unique heartbreak and reminded her that pet grief is real, profound, and often misunderstood.In this deeply personal episode, Barb and Michelle explore the reality of pet loss, why grief can resurface in unexpected ways, and how every loss teaches us something new about love, attachment, and letting go. Michelle shares how Charlotte's passing brought waves of sadness she didn't anticipate and why trying to "prepare" for grief doesn't necessarily make it easier when the moment arrives.This conversation is for anyone who has lost a beloved pet, a loved one, or is navigating the complicated emotions that come with loving deeply and saying goodbye.What You'll Take Away:Why pet grief is real grief and why comments like "it's just a pet" can be so hurtfulMichelle's experience losing Charlotte and why the loss affected her more than she expectedHow grief can awaken memories of previous losses without being the same experienceWhy anticipatory grief doesn't protect us from heartbreakWhat acceptance actually looks like in real lifeHow to stop judging your grief and allow yourself to feel what you feelWhy grief isn't something we master, fix, or move beyond but something we learn to carry differently over timeWhether you've recently lost a pet, are supporting someone who has, or simply want a more compassionate understanding of grief, this episode offers comfort, validation, and a reminder that love and loss are always connected."Grief is the reminder that love was present, and that even if it's no longer in its original form, that love still exists." @Michelle MarosDon't risk carrying grief alone or judging yourself for how you heal.

Our identity is not determined by who chooses us in this world—the team that accepts us, the relationship that works out, the opportunity we receive, or the recognition we gain. As children of God, we belong to Him. We are His treasured possession, called out of darkness and into His light. Remembering that we are chosen changes the way we see ourselves and our circumstances. Earthly disappointments may still hurt, but they no longer define our worth. God’s choice of us is rooted in His love, His purpose, and His eternal plan. Highlights: Our deepest sense of belonging comes from being chosen by God Earthly rejection does not change our identity as God’s beloved children God calls us His special possession and invites us into His family Staying grounded in Scripture helps us remember who we are in Christ God’s plans and blessings are greater than the opportunities we may miss Join the Conversation Have you experienced a time when God reminded you that He saw your pain, needs, or circumstances? How does knowing that God is El Roi—the God who sees you—change the way you approach difficult seasons?

Goring Bible Reading:“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”—1 Peter 2:9 NIV Have you ever struggled with a sense of belonging because you did not feel chosen? Most people want to be chosen. Whether chosen to play with others when we were children, chosen to be asked to the prom by our high school crush, chosen to attend the college of our choice, chosen to marry the person of our dreams, chosen for a job we worked hard for or chosen for other things we want out of life, the desire to be chosen is a universal feeling and part of life on earth. But do we know that the Creator of the Universe chose us before we chose Him (Ephesians 1:4-5)? God chose us to be part of His Family. Since He is King of the Universe, that means we as His children are a special kind of royalty. We are daughters and sons of the Eternal King. But how often do we forget this Biblical truth and act like we don’t know our true identity in Jesus Christ? I know I tend to be forgetful of this, and I struggle to maintain a heavenly perspective because it is easy to be consumed by how our world programs us to think. This is why it is so important to stay grounded in God’s Word. The Bible says in 1 Peter 2:9 that we are a people chosen by God. We are special to Him. God doesn’t just choose you; He transforms you as He calls you out of darkness into His wonderful light. When you choose to give your life to Jesus Christ, then you have passed from death to life (John 5:24). You now have the hope of eternal life after Jesus returns to Earth to take His children home to Heaven. But while we are still living on Earth, it is important to have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) and not be bogged down by what we go through in this world. Our experiences on Earth shape us. I know what it is like to not be chosen for the team, not chosen by the man whom I thought I wanted to marry, not chosen by the dream employer whom I would love to work for, or not chosen for so many other of my heart’s desires. But instead of worrying about these missed opportunities to be chosen, it helps me to remember that the King of the Universe chose me and you first. And He offers us a life better than our wildest dreams when we enter Heaven. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:9 (GW), “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him.” God has amazing things in store for His chosen people when we step into eternity with Him. But that doesn’t mean He doesn’t also have good plans for us while we are living on Earth. God can still answer our prayers and bless us beyond our wildest dreams, and help the right people to choose us. We just need to pray for His will to be done in our lives. He wants to bless you on earth, too, though those blessings pale in comparison to what He has in store for us when we start eternity in His Kingdom. Next time you feel disappointed or sad about not being chosen by a person or company, or an opportunity here on Earth, look up to the sky and imagine God smiling down at you, saying, “I still choose you, my child.” Let that Biblical truth marinate in your mind. Write it down in your prayer journal. Post it on your mirror so you can remind yourself every day that God chose you. Soak in His pure, unconditional love for you and remember who you are in Jesus Christ. In closing, I would like you to listen to these two songs: “Remember Who You Are” sung by Crystal Lewis. And “I Still Want You” sung by Tramaine Hawkins. Song of Reflection #1: “Remember Who You Are” by Crystal Lewis. Listen to it HERE. Song of Reflection #2: “I Still Want You” by Tramaine Hawkins.

In this episode of Girl, We Got This, I share a powerful lesson from a recent three-day print campaign in New York City that reminded me how important it is to protect your peace when chaos is unfolding around you. What started as a last-minute production change quickly turned into a stressful situation on set when wardrobe selections were rejected, tensions rose, and one person's overwhelm began affecting the entire room. Instead of absorbing the energy, I chose to stay grounded through simple rituals, nervous system regulation practices, gratitude, and conscious observation.We dive into what it means to stay emotionally regulated when others are dysregulated, how to stop taking on other people's stress, and why protecting your energy is one of the greatest forms of self-responsibility. This conversation explores emotional intelligence, nervous system health, personal boundaries, workplace dynamics, mindfulness, self-awareness, and leadership through presence. If you've ever struggled with absorbing other people's moods, managing difficult personalities, or staying calm under pressure, this episode will remind you that someone else's overwhelm does not have to become your reality.In This Episode:Nervous system regulation tools that work in real lifeHow to protect your energy in stressful environmentsEmotional regulation and emotional intelligenceWorkplace stress, conflict, and difficult personalitiesThe difference between observing and absorbingWhy your mood impacts everyone around youAccountability, self-awareness, and personal responsibilityCreating peace in chaotic situationsTimestamps00:00 NYC Check-In00:13 Knicks and Brunson Tease00:43 Set Week Setup03:33 Styling Chaos Begins04:55 Dysregulation Spreads08:12 Protect Your Light11:11 Let People Be12:36 Bigger Than The Set15:30 Regulation Is Responsibility18:00 Closing Love

Most of us are building lives we are not fully present for. We optimise, produce, tick things off and tell ourselves we will get to the good stuff once things calm down. But things rarely calm down. They speed up. And one day you look around and realise your kids have stopped coming to you, your relationships are running on autopilot, and the life you worked so hard to build is one you are barely in. That was the realisation Harvard Professor Dr Jeff Karp had during Covid. The skill that had helped him survive school, build a world-leading lab and found 13 companies had also made him very good at moving through life without stopping to notice it.What makes Jeff's response interesting is that he did not begin with a retreat, a reinvention or some huge life overhaul. He started interrupting patterns. Change the question you ask your kid at dinner and see what happens. Take a different route. Drink tea instead of coffee. Blow bubbles at strangers in traffic and watch people put their phones down and smile. His argument is that changing one small thing can make you aware of all the other things you have been doing without ever really choosing them.We also talk about anti-convenience, why Jeff sometimes washes dishes by hand, and why I can happily spend an hour making gluten-free ravioli from scratch. Not because doing things the long way is always better, but because efficiency is not always the point. Jeff has spent decades inventing technologies that save lives. Turns out one of the most important experiments he ever ran was learning how to be present in his own.Key episode highlightsWhy the skill that helped Jeff survive school later began costing him in adult lifeHow changing one small pattern can reveal the rest of your operating systemThe question: when did you decide to do the same things every day?Why bubbles in traffic became Jeff's favourite form of pattern interruptionHow anti-convenience can create presence without turning your life upside downWhy our brains default to familiar, low-energy behavioursWhat happens when you ask your children a better question than “how was your day?”How silliness can shift the energy of a room and give other people permission to join inChapters00:00 Bubbles, productivity and disconnection02:43 The skill that saved Jeff as a child06:18 When he realised his children had stopped coming to him07:22 How our attention gets hijacked13:57 Why exhaustion can become addictive17:42 The hidden cost of constant productivity21:11 Why the brain defaults to low-energy patterns25:24 The patterns running our lives28:33 How pattern interruption works35:22 Which patterns should we keep?42:46 Why a Harvard professor blows bubbles in traffic48:53 Anti-convenience and doing things the long way52:05 What a bountiful life means to Jeff57:13 The most important experiment he has run on himself Guest BioDr Jeff Karp is a biomedical engineer and professor of anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital.

In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda Teixeira talk about a financial task many families know they should revisit but often put off: life insurance.After growing their family and realizing their original policies no longer matched their current reality, Jonathan and Amanda share why life insurance needs to be reviewed as your family changes. What made sense before kids, or with one or two children, may no longer be enough after more children, a larger mortgage, higher expenses, inflation, or a change in family needs.They explain why term life insurance can be an act of love and stewardship, especially for families with dependents. The goal is not to create a windfall, but to make sure your spouse and children would be financially cared for if the unthinkable happened.

(This is a rebroadcast of episode 309)See our video at https://youtu.be/BwSR9LpqRm0In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we dive deep into one of the most defining economic turning points in modern U.S. history: 1971, the year President Nixon ended the Bretton Woods agreement and removed the dollar from the gold standard. This decision—often overlooked—set in motion decades of inflation, currency distortion, and financial instability that still affect every aspect of life today. Drawing on Dave Smith's compelling explanation, we explore how radically different the world could have been if the U.S. had maintained a stable, sound money supply. Imagine a world without runaway inflation, without the boom-bust cycles created by loose monetary policy, and without the government's ability to quietly tax citizens through currency debasement. Smith argues that abandoning gold didn't just change the economy—it changed society, culture, and global power dynamics. We break down:What exactly happened in 1971Why stable money is foundational to liberty and psychological well-beingHow inflation quietly alters behavior, incentives, and family lifeHow fiat money fuels political overreach, endless wars, and corporate distortionWhat individuals and communities can do now, in an unstable financial eraSound money solutions, from decentralization to Bitcoin to local alternativesIf you've ever wondered why everything feels more expensive, more chaotic, and more distorted than it used to, this episode connects the dots. Understanding 1971 is the first step—deciding what to do next is the challenge we tackle together.Clip from Dave Smith | PartOfTheProblemFollow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

Transitions are a natural part of life, but that does not make them easy. Whether a learner is moving from ABA services into school, transitioning to a new provider, entering adulthood, or adjusting to a different level of support, these changes can bring uncertainty, fear, and big emotions for everyone involved. In this conversation, we explore why transitions can feel overwhelming and how thoughtful planning can make them more successful for both learners and families.We discuss the importance of starting transition planning early, working backward from long-term goals, and focusing on the skills that will matter most in the next environment. We also share practical ways to support learners through gradual exposure, collaboration across teams, and meaningful opportunities to build independence. Just as importantly, we talk about supporting families with clear communication, compassion, and realistic expectations throughout the process.When transition planning is proactive, collaborative, and individualized, it helps learners move forward with greater confidence while giving families the support they need during times of change.What's Inside: Why transitions can be challenging for learners, families, and professionalsPractical strategies for smoother transitions across settings and stages of lifeHow early planning and collaboration lead to better long-term outcomesMentioned in This Episode:Episode 109: Autism Back to School AdviceHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

If you're like most parents, you've probably had a moment this summer where you said, "Okay, time to turn it off," and suddenly found yourself in a negotiation, an argument, or a full-blown meltdown. Screens have become one of the biggest parenting challenges of modern life. They're entertaining, social, educational, and often genuinely helpful. But they can also create power struggles, emotional outbursts, and frustration for both kids and parents. In this episode, Kyle and Sara explore a different way to think about screens. Instead of focusing on control, punishment, or finding the perfect amount of screen time, they discuss how parents can help children develop healthy screen habits while still enjoying the benefits technology can offer. You'll hear practical ideas for reducing conflict, understanding what's happening beneath screen battles, and leading your family with connection instead of control. Kyle and Sara also share five practical shifts parents can begin using immediately to create healthier rhythms around screens and reduce daily battles. In This Episode:Why turning off screens can feel so difficult for kidsWhat screens may be providing for children emotionally and sociallyWhy screen battles are often about more than the screen itselfCommon parenting responses that unintentionally increase conflictThe difference between creating limits and creating healthy rhythmsHow to support smoother transitions away from devicesWhy awareness works better than shameWhat screens may be crowding out in a child's lifeHow to collaborate with kids when creating screen expectationsWhat to do when children still become upset about screen limitsFive practical shifts you can start using this weekA Different Way to Think About Screens:Screens aren't going away.Our job isn't to eliminate them. Our job is to help our children learn how to use them with awareness, balance, and self-control while they're still under our guidance. When we move beyond fear, shame, and constant power struggles, we create opportunities to teach the skills our kids will need for a lifetime of healthy screen use. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/screen-time-without-the-power-struggles Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!Career Reinvention, Retirement and Building a Richer Life with Hannah MartinWhat does it really mean to prepare for retirement? For many women, especially mid-career professionals, retirement planning is often reduced to one question: “Will I have enough money?” Yet, as Hannah Martin explains in this thoughtful conversation, a fulfilling later life requires more than financial security. It also calls for purpose, community, health, independence and a clear sense of what comes next.In episode 282 of Your Career Podcast, Jane Jackson reconnects with Hannah Martin, founder of Talented Ladies Club and Rich Retiree, seven years after their last conversation. Hannah and I chatted in episodes 19 and 101. Hannah shares how her work supporting ambitious mothers returning to the workforce evolved into a new mission: helping women prepare for retirement in a way that is practical, empowering and deeply human.Jane and Hannah discuss the unique career and financial challenges many women face, including career breaks, lower pension or superannuation balances, caring responsibilities, and the implications of, unfortunately, a divorce. Confidence dips after time out of the workforce, and the long-term impact of the gender pay gap.They also explore why career reinvention does not stop at midlife. Whether you are facing redundancy, considering a career change, preparing for retirement, or wondering how to create more meaning in your next chapter, this conversation offers a reassuring reminder that it is never too late to make considered, confident choices.In this episode, we discuss:Why retirement planning must go beyond moneyThe four pillars of a rich retirement: finance, health, community and purposeHow career breaks can affect confidence, savings and long-term financial independenceWhy women often face different retirement challenges from menThe importance of community, contribution and meaningful activity as we ageHow mid-career professionals can begin planning their next chapter before they are forced toWhy career clarity matters at every stage of lifeHow cultural attitudes towards ageing can affect confidence, wellbeing and possibilityThe value of wisdom, lived experience and intergenerational connectionKey takeawayA rich retirement is not only about what you have saved.

What if happiness wasn't something you chased… but something you could actually engineer?In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with Thayne Martin—executive, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, podcast host, and founder of It's Pure Love—to explore his groundbreaking framework: The Equation of Life and Abundant Happiness (ELAH™).Thayne's story is one of profound transformation.After enduring severe childhood abuse, he struggled with depression, PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, and ADHD. His pain became so overwhelming that he attempted suicide multiple times. But everything changed after a near-death experience—when a reaction to medication caused him to drown in his own swimming pool.What happened next shifted everything.When Thayne regained consciousness, he describes experiencing a level of clarity, gratitude, and unconditional love unlike anything he had ever known. That moment became the catalyst for a new way of understanding the mind, emotions, and human behavior—and ultimately led to the creation of ELAH™ and eX eM NeuroConditioning™.In this episode, we explore how these tools can help you break free from limiting patterns and intentionally create a life filled with connection, purpose, and joy.In this episode, we discuss:Thayne's powerful journey from trauma and despair to healing and purposeHow a near-death experience transformed his mind, heart, and lifeThe Equation of Life and Abundant Happiness (ELAH™) and how it worksUsing simple “math-like” operations—Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, and Gratitude—to guide your lifeHow your brain is wired to reinforce whatever you repeatedly think and feelThe role of neuroplasticity in reshaping thoughts, emotions, and behaviorsWhat eX eM NeuroConditioning™ is and how it accelerates transformationHow emotional experiences influence brain chemistry and behaviorThe importance of awareness, connection, and gratitude in healingWhy real, lasting change comes from experience—not just informationWhat is ELAH™?The Equation of Life and Abundant Happiness (ELAH™) is a simple yet powerful framework that helps you organize your thoughts, emotions, and relationships using five symbolic operations:Addition – What do you want more of in your life?Subtraction – What do you need to release or let go of?Multiplication – What can you amplify and grow?Division – What can you share with others?Gratitude (=) – The equal sign that brings everything into alignmentThis elegant system makes personal growth practical, memorable, and easy to apply in everyday life.A Powerful ReminderHealing doesn't have to be complicated.Sometimes, the most profound transformations come from the simplest shifts—what you focus on, what you feel, and what you choose to reinforce.Learn More About ThayneTo learn more about Thayne Martin and his work, visit:

What if the beliefs holding you back were never really yours to begin with?Steph explores the powerful connection between childhood beliefs and the life we're living today. So much of what we accept as truth about ourselves was shaped by external voices and early experiences, and those inherited beliefs often run our lives long after they've stopped serving us.

With a focus on self-awareness and personal growth, this episode is a guide to rewriting the beliefs that no longer align with who you're becoming.In this episode you'll discover:The impact of childhood beliefs on adult lifeHow to identify outdated beliefsThe importance of giving the current self a voteStrategies for challenging and updating beliefsThe role of self-awareness in personal growthYour takeaways:Most of our beliefs are formed in childhood and are outdated.Challenging your beliefs can unlock new possibilities.Audit your beliefs regularly to ensure they serve your growth.Chapters00:00 Challenging Beliefs About Ourselves02:28 The Role of Past Experiences in Shaping Beliefs04:49 Auditing and Challenging Outdated Beliefs07:04 Reevaluating Relationships and Self-Image09:25 Creating Your Own Beliefs and Worldview

What if peace isn't found in changing your life, but in changing your relationship to this moment?So many of us move through life evaluating everything:I'm okay. I'm not okay.This is working. This isn't working.I'm ahead. I'm behind.Without even realizing it, we can spend enormous amounts of energy deciding whether life is going well or badly.In this episode of Prayer on the Air, we explore a simple but profound question: What if this moment didn't need fixing?Together, we'll look at what becomes possible when we stop judging every experience and begin meeting life with greater curiosity, compassion, and presence.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the constant habit of evaluating ourselves can be so exhaustingThe difference between your life and your judgment of your lifeHow unhappiness changes when we stop resisting itThe shift from "me-ness" to "here-ness"A simple practice for making peace with what isRather than asking: "How do I fix this?"What if we asked: "What is here?"And what if we could meet whatever we find with awareness instead of judgment?May this conversation support you in laying down the inner scorecard and discovering the peace that is always available.

We live in the most connected age in human history.Yet many people feel more distracted, overwhelmed, and fragmented than ever before.In this episode of TeaMinded, we explore why tea belongs in a digital world and how a simple tea ritual can help us reclaim something increasingly rare: our attention.Tea isn't anti-technology.Technology helps us communicate, learn, create, and connect. But constant notifications, endless scrolling, and perpetual stimulation can make it difficult to slow down and be fully present.Tea offers a different rhythm.The process of heating water, brewing leaves, and sitting quietly with a cup of tea creates a natural pause in the day. It invites mindfulness, reflection, and intentional living in a culture that often rewards speed and distraction.Why tea remains relevant in a digital ageTea and mindfulnessDigital distraction and attentionTea rituals and intentional livingThe connection between tea and analog livingWhy tea drinkers often love books, journaling, and creativityTechnology as a tool, not a masterReclaiming presence in everyday lifeHow tea creates space for reflectionWhether you're a tea lover, journal keeper, reader, creative, or simply someone looking for a calmer pace of life, this episode explores why tea may be more important today than ever before.TeaMinded explores tea culture, loose leaf tea, tea rituals, mindfulness, creativity, craftsmanship, and intentional living through educational episodes, reflections, tea reviews, and conversations.Follow TeaMinded for new episodes exploring tea culture, slow living, tea rituals, mindfulness, creativity, and the pursuit of a more attentive life.#TeaPodcast #TeaCulture #Mindfulness #DigitalMinimalism #SlowLiving #TeaRitual #IntentionalLiving #TeaAndMindfulness #AnalogLiving #TeaMindedIn This Episode

This class explores how Halbashah and Hafshotah are not only tools for understanding Kabbalah, but tools for living with more clarity, compassion, and purpose. How do we understand a person beyond their behavior? How do we translate spiritual inspiration into actual change? How do we look beneath emotional reactions, relationship struggles, and inner confusion to discover what is really going on?Sometimes life needs to be explained. Sometimes life needs to be peeled back. And sometimes, with a little Chassidus, we realize the “problem” was only the garment, not the essence.Key Takeaways1. Deep truth needs clothing: A lofty idea only changes us when it becomes understandable, relatable, and practical.2. Not everything on the surface is the essence: A reaction, habit, fear, or conflict may be real — but it may not be the deepest truth.3. Halbashah helps us bring inspiration into action: If an idea remains abstract, it can be beautiful but useless. Chassidus teaches us to bring it down into daily life.4. Hafshotah helps us see beneath the noise: Instead of getting stuck in the drama, we learn to ask: What is really happening underneath?5. Relationships require both movements: We need to “clothe” love in actual behavior, and we need to “unclothe” conflict to see the vulnerable human being underneath.6. The goal is not to escape real life: The goal is to bring the deepest truths of the soul into the ordinary moments of Wednesday morning.#KabbalahForEveryone  #Rabbiyisroelbernath #Halbashah #Hafshotah #chassidus #ChabadChassidus #Kabbalah #JewishWisdom #PracticalKabbalah #spiritualgrowth Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

God’s timing is always better than our own, even when delays feel frustrating or confusing. In this devotional, Cindi McMenamin shares a powerful real-life story about wanting new flooring and home upgrades, only to discover later that God’s “wait” protected her family from unnecessary expense and prepared the way for something far better. Rooted in Bible teaching from Gospel of Matthew 7:11, this message reminds believers that God lovingly gives good gifts to His children—often in ways we never expect. Through water damage, construction messes, and an unexpected remodel, God revealed His wisdom, provision, and perfect timing. This devotional encourages Christians to surrender their own timelines, trust God in the waiting, and believe He can bring beauty out of chaos when we choose obedience over impatience. Highlights Why waiting on God can protect us from unnecessary hardship The importance of listening to godly counsel and spiritual leadership How delays can become unexpected blessings God’s ability to restore beauty from life’s messes and disruptions Trusting God’s timing instead of forcing our own plans A reminder that God’s “no” or “wait” often leads to something better Finding peace through obedience, patience, and prayer Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: God Always Knows BestBy Cindi McMenamin Bible Reading:“If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:11) How many times do you and I have something on our minds, or on our wish lists, that we fail to ask God for, and we just rush ahead and try to get it for ourselves? I remember when my daughter and I got in our heads that we wanted to replace our carpet downstairs with wood laminate flooring. We believed it would be better for my husband, who suffered allergies now and then from our beloved cat, Mowgli. And we so wanted the upgrade to get rid of our old, smelly carpet. We also wanted to update the overall look of our condo, so we went to a home improvement store and admired granite and marble countertops that could replace the old tile and grungy grout in our kitchen. The cost of the countertops was so high, though, that we figured we didn’t truly need them. So, my daughter and I decided to just push hard for the new flooring. Yet, my husband insisted that we wait. “We don’t know if we might end up paying taxes this year,” he said, “so let’s wait until after April.” “But we have the money in savings,” I countered. “And you’d love it, Dad,” my daughter chimed in. Yet my husband was insistent. "I'm just not feeling at peace about it,” he said. “Please wait and trust me on this.” I was so convinced we should have that flooring, I whined about it to God in prayer the next morning. It was very clear what God was saying to my heart during my prayer time: Listen to your husband. Follow his lead. I didn’t bother arguing with God. He usually won’t budge on things. So, I waited it out and forgot about the flooring. Until a few months later, when we discovered wet carpet from a slab leak underneath our kitchen floor and entryway! The insurance company was called. Dryers were put in our living room to dry out the floors and help mitigate what they hoped wouldn’t turn into mold. Then, contractors came and rerouted our water lines from the ground into the walls of our condo. The place was an absolute mess. But part of the remodel included not only replacing the carpet in the living room and entry way and up the stairs, but the option to include flooring instead at less of a cost than the carpet, leaving excess funds to replace our countertops, which had to be redone after a tile broke when the contractors were repairing the lower cupboards underneath the countertops. Over the next few months, we ended up with all-new wood flooring downstairs, beautiful new granite countertops, and a kitchen repaint at practically no expense to us. Had I rushed ahead and not waited on my husband and God for that wood flooring, we would’ve paid a few thousand dollars for it, only to have it all ripped up a month later and reinstalled again after the leak. By waiting when my husband said, “Let’s wait,” and by listening to God when He said, “Listen to your husband,” we didn’t pay anything except a small deductible for what turned out to be a $15,000 remodel of the downstairs in our home. Intersecting Faith & Life: How many times might God have something far better for us than what was on our own wish list and timeline? Trust Him for what He wants to do in your life in His way and in His time. Trust Him in the messes, like slab leaks, reconstruction, and water damage repair. He has a way of restoring and bringing beauty out of the chaos. And as Matthew 7:11 says, He loves to give gifts to His children who not only ask Him, but wait upon Him. Thank You, Lord, that You can accomplish far more when I pray about a situation and wait upon You than I can when I argue or try to work things out for myself. Lord, You always know best, and I truly want Your best, not my idea of what’s best. Teach me to wait upon Your plan and Your timing. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Somewhere along the way, so many women stopped feeling like their life was actually theirs.Between running a business, raising kids, supporting a partner, caring for aging parents, and carrying the emotional weight of everyone else's needs, it's easy to end up stuck in survival mode — exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering where you went.In this heartfelt conversation, Lianne Kim sits down with longtime friend and pediatric chiropractor turned Joy Coach, Dr. Ali Miller, to talk about what's really happening beneath the surface for burned-out moms and women entrepreneurs.Drawing from more than two decades of working with moms, Dr. Ali explains how chronic stress impacts the nervous system, why “just take a break” isn't enough, and how tiny moments of connection, movement, and joy can begin to regulate the body and help women reconnect with themselves again.Together, they unpack the identity shifts that happen throughout motherhood, the pressure women feel to constantly give to everyone else, and why reclaiming joy is not selfish — it's essential.This episode is a reminder that you are not failing. You are likely just depleted. And sometimes the path back to yourself starts with five intentional minutes.In this episode, you'll discover:Why so many moms and women entrepreneurs feel stuck in “survival mode”The hidden nervous system impact of constantly caring for everyone elseWhy self-care days often don't work when you're deeply burned outHow motherhood changes your identity in every season — not just when kids leave homeThe connection between nervous system regulation and joySmall, practical “joy resets” that take less than five minutesWhy meaningful friendships and connection matter more than ever in this stage of lifeHow to model joy, boundaries, and self-worth for your childrenWhy reclaiming your joy is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your familyTimestamps:00:00 – Introducing Dr. Ali Miller and the journey from chiropractor to Joy Coach02:00 – Why motherhood is emotionally and physically exhausting05:00 – The therapist question that changed Ali's perspective forever07:00 – The identity shifts moms experience as children grow09:00 – What it feels like when your life no longer feels like your own10:00 – Why “just take a break” doesn't actually solve burnout11:00 – Understanding the nervous system: survival mode vs. regulation14:00 – How survival mode shows up in your business, body, and relationships17:00 – Why joy becomes inaccessible when your nervous system is overwhelmed18:00 – Simple five-minute nervous system resets anyone can do20:00 – The surprising healing power of friendship and connection24:00 – Reconnecting with old friends and relationships in a new season of life26:00 – Creating your personal “joy list” and rediscovering what lights you up29:00 – What to do when you feel too overwhelmed for even one more thing31:00 – Modeling self-worth and joy for your children34:00 – Why movement and exercise regulate more than just your body35:00 – Inside Dr. Ali's Joy Reset Kit36:00 – Final advice for women stuck in burnout and survival mode38:00 – Where to connect with Dr. Ali MillerLinks mentioned:Joy Reset KitWebsite: https://www.thejoycoach.ca/Instagram: @the_joycoach—‌Connect with me:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liannekimcoach  Instagram: @liannekimcoachJoin the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: https://www.mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandcoPodcasting support:https://theultimatecreative.com 

Do you ever feel like there's a version of you that wants more out of life…More joy.More confidence.More freedom.More YOU.But every time you try to move toward her, something pulls you back?In this episode, we're talking about identity, possibility, and why becoming the woman you want to be has less to do with “fixing yourself” and more to do with what your brain believes is possible for you.I share a story from figure skating that completely shifted how I think about growth and identity, and why being around people who are already doing the things you want to do changes your brain faster than trying to force yourself to believe differently.We also talk about:Why sensitive women often stay stuck in old identitiesHow your environment shapes what feels possibleWhy your thoughts are not factsThe psychology behind seeing other people do what you want to doWhy your brain resists change (even when you WANT it)What Rick Rubin calls the “lazy brain”Why more possibility creates more freedomThe connection between anxiety, emotional heaviness, and purposeWhy you don't need to “fix” yourself to create a different lifeHow coaching, support, and community help you expand your identityThe biggest takeaway from this episode:You are not as stuck as you think you are.Sometimes your brain just needs evidence that another way of living is possible.And when you start surrounding yourself with people, spaces, and conversations that expand what feels possible…you start becoming someone new without even realizing it.If this episode resonated and you want support applying this work in your own life, you can book a discovery call with me here:amandahess.ca/bookacallConnect with me on Instagram:@theamandahess

This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose and Crystal sit down with Helen Goh, internationally acclaimed pastry chef, longtime Ottolenghi collaborator, columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian, and author of Baking and the Meaning of Life and Sweet. Featuring 100 recipes that weave together Helen's Malaysian and Australian heritage with Western and Middle Eastern influences, Baking and the Meaning of Life asks a larger question beneath the recipes: how do we build meaning in our lives? Through eight essays woven throughout the book, Helen explores baking as a practice of mindfulness, agency, competence, ritual, and connection — not simply as a way to make food, but as one of the many small acts that help us create purpose and community in a chaotic world. The conversation moves through her enviable cookbook collection, existentialism, the meanings of color, psychology, flavor, memory, and the quiet rigor behind recipes that feel both deeply comforting and profoundly intentional.Mentioned in this episode:• Baking and the Meaning of Life: How to Find Joy in 100 Recipes• Sweet by Helen Goh and Yotam Ottolenghi• Cooking: Simply and Well, for One or Many by Jeremy Lee• Kate Spade Green• The Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book• The Flavor Thesaurus by Niki Segnit• Stars Desserts by Emily Luchetti• Flour Hour Baking Podcast hosted by Jeremiah Duarte Bills and Amanda Faber• Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott• Ma Vie en Rose by Rose Levy Beranbaum• The Artful Baker by Cenk Sonmezsoy• Jikoni by Ravinder Bhogal

When I first became a KonMari consultant, I thought I knew exactly what I was helping people do.Clear the piles. Organize the cupboards. Create better systems. Make homes feel calmer and easier to live in.But I quickly began to notice that the process of decluttering and tidying up was bringing up questions, emotions, and realizations that went far beyond the physical stuff.Because clutter is rarely only about what we can see.It can be the unfinished decisions, the mental load, the pressure to keep everything together, and the feeling that your home is constantly asking something from you.So today, I'm taking you back to the beginning of my journey as a home organizer and sharing how my understanding of home organizing has changed over time.In this episode, you'll learn:Why letting go of clutter brings up more than most people expectHow the KonMari Method changed the way I looked at my own homeWhat physical clutter can reveal about your mental load, emotions, and everyday stressWhat emotional clutter really is and why it's often harder to address than the physical messWhy traditional home organization advice can leave people feeling like they are failingWhat it really means to create systems that support you on hard days, not only your best daysWhy decluttering is about creating a calmer, more manageable clutter free home that works for real lifeHow support, community, and small sustainable progress can make the process feel much less overwhelmingIf you've been searching for clutter relief, sustainable progress, and a calm home, this episode is your invitation to finally build a space that supports you.Here's to homes that hold up on the hard days,Caroline 

I've been wanting to introduce you to these two for a while now.Chelsea and Emily are two of my favorite people on the planet. They're funny, they're real, they're the kind of women who walk into a room and make everyone feel like they belong. And the moment I started getting to know them, I felt like I'd known them my entire life.But what brought us here — to this couch, to this conversation — is their story. And it's one I think a lot of people need to hear.Both Chelsea and Emily were married to men. Both were navigating life inside a religious community. Both had kids. And both, later in life, discovered something about themselves that changed everything.They came out. And in doing so, they had to lose a lot — their marriages, their identities, their communities — to finally become who they actually were.Freedom isn't free. And this episode is proof of that.This is not just a story about sexuality. It's about what it costs to live honestly. It's about the loneliness of going through something no one around you seems to understand. It's about finding the people who have walked your same road. And it's about what you find on the other side of the hardest thing you've ever done.I walked away from this conversation different. More compassionate. More open. More convinced than ever that the path to real freedom almost always runs straight through the thing you're most afraid of.If you've ever had to lose something — or burn something down — to finally find yourself... this one is for you.We talk about:What it actually feels like to come out later in life — with kids, a marriage, and a whole identity on the lineHow your story can get told for you before you're readyThe loneliness of going through something no one around you has experiencedFinding your people — the ones who have walked your exact roadWhat it means to finally stop performing your lifeHow going through hard things makes you less judgmental and more humanRaising kids inside non-traditional families with love, safety, and zero shame"I reserve the right to change and evolve" — and why that's not weakness, it's growthThere's so much laughter in this episode. There's rawness. There are moments that gave me chills. And there are things these two said that I'm still thinking about.This is one of my favorites I've ever recorded.

Every system we move through runs on norms: rules and agreements that are both explicit and implicit. And nowhere are they more powerful–or more invisible–than in how we lead and how we build our businesses. In fact, sociologists have consistently found that norms don't announce themselves. They travel through families, schools, workplaces, and entire cultures through repetition and imitation, often persisting long after the conditions that created them have changed. We absorb them before we can name them. And once they are inside us, they feel like “just the way things are.”In leadership development the norms run so deep we have mistaken them for truth. As a result, the model leader–despite decades of language to the contrary–still looks and sounds like a very particular kind of person.My guest today offers that leadership development has been trying to make better leaders for a broken system, rather than questioning whether the system itself needs to change. Nilofer Merchant has spent her career making the invisible visible–naming the norms, the systems, the daily routines that keep us collectively stuck. In this conversation, we go deep on the difference between caring and caretaking, what it means to trust yourself when the ground keeps disappearing, and what it actually takes to stop trying to fix what is not working and become someone who builds what is needed, right where you are.Nilofer Merchant is the co-founder of Intangible Labs. She spent over 25 years leading technology companies (Apple, Autodesk, GoLive/Adobe) and personally launched over 100 products and services, netting $18 billion in revenues. She is ranked among the top 50 influential management thinkers in the world (one of her TED Talks has been referenced 300 million times).
