In quieting the noise, stripping away, shedding, rewilding, or returning to the core essentials.Shaking off the old inner and outer expectations that keep us pushing past capacity or keep us in judgment. And rest that comes from simply meeting and befriending our True Selves and building a loving, respectful relationship with ourselves.In this episode you'll learn:What soul rest isHow it is different from other forms of rest7 types of rest everyone needs and the missing pieceWhat soul rest can look and feel likeHow to respond when you feel the need for deep soul restResourcesTrue Rest blog post and free resource (the types of rest you most need in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s): go hereQuiet the Noise Challenge (Sep 22-25): join freeBuy a seasonal mindfulness journal for Autumn.

Today, I'm sharing my personal breastfeeding journey across all three of my children—and how dramatically different each experience has been. After relatively smooth breastfeeding experiences with my first two babies, I went into my third postpartum journey assuming breastfeeding would be the easy part. Instead, it became one of the most challenging and humbling parts of my postpartum experience.I share how my third baby suddenly stopped latching during the day at just three weeks old, despite continuing to nurse perfectly at night. I tried lactation consultants, different nursing positions, craniosacral therapy, pediatric physical therapy, stretches, courses, and more, but nothing seemed to fix the problem. Eventually, I transitioned to pumping throughout the day and nursing at night—and lived that way for months. Then, completely unexpectedly, around nine months old, she began nursing normally during the day again.Throughout this journey, I've developed so much more compassion for how complicated and emotional feeding a baby can be. I'm passionate about breastfeeding and incredibly grateful I was able to continue, but I also believe a mother's mental health matters tremendously and that there is no single “right” way to feed or bond with your baby.Listen in to hear me share:How I prepared for breastfeeding before becoming a mom and why I think prenatal education can make such a differenceWhat my relatively easy breastfeeding experiences with my first two children looked likeHow infertility affected my ability to trust my body during early motherhoodWhy my third breastfeeding journey completely humbled meWhat happened when my baby suddenly refused to latch during the day—but continued nursing normally at nightThe lactation consultants, therapies, positions, stretches, and other approaches I triedWhy I eventually stopped trying to force daytime nursing and created a pumping routine insteadThe mental and logistical load of pumping multiple times every day while caring for three childrenHow a wearable pump gave me back some freedom and allowed me to leave the houseWhy my baby unexpectedly started nursing normally again around nine monthsMy mixed emotions around breastfeeding, formula, pumping, weaning, and protecting a mother's mental healthHow this experience changed the way I soothed and bonded with my third babyWhy motherhood continues to humble me—and why sometimes you can do everything “right” and still have a completely different experience than you expectedWhy I'm ready to wean, take a real break, and finally have my body and time back after years of pregnancy and breastfeeding+so much more.Connect with Lauren:Get my FREE PCOS Guide hereJoin the Empowered Path to Pregnancy hereInstagramWork With MeThank you so much for listening to the About Health and Hormones Podcast!

I want you to think about the last stack of unanswered inquiries sitting in your inbox. The missed calls. The tour you meant to follow up on three days ago. If you're a school leader who feels like you're working harder than ever and your enrollment numbers still won't budge, this episode is for you.I've audited hundreds of school leader schedules over the years, and here's what I keep finding. The schools that are full, the ones with waitlists and a reputation that does the marketing for them, aren't winning because of a bigger budget or a better location. They're winning because of how they structure their day.I tell a story in this episode about a multi-site leadership team I worked with. Six locations, each one needing to enroll seven to ten kids, which meant they were staring down sixty enrollments they needed to fill. When I asked each director what she was doing to drive enrollment, the answers broke my heart. One had changed the answering machine message. Another rearranged the front desk. Someone updated the website fonts. None of that is enrollment activity. None of it is close to the cash.So in this episode, I walk you through what I call the Daily Profit Plan, four frameworks that separate the schools spinning their wheels from the schools that are full. This isn't about doing more. It's about doing the things that actually move the needle, and building a rhythm around them so they don't get pushed aside every time something urgent shows up.What You'll LearnWhy "activities closest to the cash" matter more than busyness, and how to tell the differenceHow to protect enrollment time so it doesn't get swallowed by the daily fire drillsWhy generic follow-up scripts fail, and what a tiered follow-up system actually looks likeHow to turn your current families into a natural referral network without feeling pushyWhy enrollment can't live on one person's shoulders, and what happens when it does (including a real story about a nearly $50,000 mistake)What it actually takes to make your whole team enrollment ambassadors, not just your front deskConnect With Us:Join us on Substack: https://chaniewilschanski.substack.com/

Your body is changing—but it is not broken.In Part 2 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex examines one of the most powerful tools women have for navigating perimenopause and menopause: training.There is no magical “menopause workout,” and the fundamental laws of physiology have not suddenly stopped working. Squats still work. Progressive overload still works. Cardiovascular exercise still matters. But as a woman moves through this season, her training priorities may need to change.The goal is not to punish your body, desperately fight aging, or force your body to look the way it did at 27. The goal is capacity: the strength and endurance to work, serve, play, travel, love others, and say yes to whatever God places in front of you.In This EpisodeCoach Alex discusses:Why strength training should become a priority during perimenopause and menopauseThe difference between merely exercising and creating a meaningful training stimulusWhy women are still allowed—and often need—to lift challenging weightsHow progressive overload helps preserve muscle, strength, function, and independenceWhy walking alone is not a complete bone-strengthening strategyHow resistance training and appropriate impact can help protect bone healthThe importance of maintaining power, speed, balance, and the ability to reactWhy cardiovascular exercise still matters during and after menopauseWhether women in menopause should perform high-intensity interval trainingWhy walking remains one of the most valuable forms of daily movementHow to distinguish laziness from genuine under-recoveryWhat a practical week of training might look likeHow husbands and families can help women protect the time required to care for their bodiesWhy small beginnings still matter when pain, fear, or years of inactivity make training feel overwhelmingThe Fundamentals Remain, but the Priorities ChangeA strong menopause training plan should help a woman:Build and preserve muscleLoad and protect her bonesMaintain cardiovascular capacityPreserve power and balanceMove consistently throughout the dayRecover well enough to repeat the processThat may include two or three strength-training sessions each week, regular cardiovascular work, daily walking, appropriate intensity, bone-loading activity, and intentional recovery.The exact schedule will differ from woman to woman. The principle matters more than the calendar: begin where you are, train intelligently, and gradually ask your body to become more capable.A Deeper Reason to TrainTraining through menopause is not about worshiping the body. It is about preparing it.Your children may still need you. Your grandchildren may need you. Your husband, church, family, and community may need you. God may call you into work at 60 that you could not have imagined at 40.The goal is not simply to take up less space in the world. The goal is to become strong enough to live out your calling.As Proverbs 31 describes, a faithful woman “dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.” This is a picture of a woman prepared for her work—capable, strong, and ready.Every season of womanhood deserves intentional stewardship. Not only the easy seasons. Not only the young seasons.Get strong. Keep moving. Challenge your heart. Load your bones. Recover intelligently. Your body adapts to what you ask of it—so make sure you ask something of it.Continue Your Faithful Fitness JourneyGet the Faithful Fitness BookBegin building a biblical foundation for health, training, discipline, and stewardship with Coach Alex's 40-day devotional.Get the book:https://faithfulfitnessdevo.com/Join the Faithful Fitness CorpsTrain inside an intentional Christian community with exercise resources, program-building tools, coaching, challenges, encouragement, accountability, and people committed to becoming stronger together.Join the Corps:https://faithfulfitness.co/Menopause Assessment and Jumpstart SeminarReceive the menopause assessment and automatically reserve your place in the live Jumpstart Seminar designed to help you better understand this season and determine your next steps.Get started:https://faithfulfitness.co/menopauseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support.

I recently spent a full day with one of the healthiest nonprofit boards I've ever seen, spread across the country, meeting mostly virtually, with 100% attendance, full fundraising participation, and zero circular conversations. And by the end of the day, I realized there was one thing this executive director never once did. It's probably the thing you're doing the most. In this episode, I share 7 lessons from that experience that every nonprofit leader needs to hear: from how great board meetings start weeks before anyone arrives, to why connection isn't a nice-to-have but actual infrastructure, to the most common mistake executive directors make that quietly turns their board into their managers. If your board is disengaged, inconsistent, or draining more than it's building, this episode will show you exactly why and what to change starting today.Topics:Why great board meetings start weeks before the meeting, and what an impeccable board packet actually looks likeHow clear expectations create 100% attendance and real accountability, even across a fully virtual boardThe most expensive mistake executive directors make: training their board to manage them instead of leading with CEO energyWhy not every board member's idea should become a strategy, and how to honor input without losing focusWhy the connection between board members isn't a nice-to-have; it's the infrastructure that makes everything else workHow fundraising becomes a culture, not a committee, and what "done" looks like on a high-performing boardFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits like yours.

You may have a life that looks successful on paper, and still you feel like your life isn't working out how you want it.Too many meetings. Too many commitments. A workspace you dislike. A home that does not feel like you. When everything feels off, the hardest part is often knowing where to begin.Enter 'the new bedspread effect': improve one small part of your environment, protect the feeling it creates, and let that become the reference point for what you change next.In this episode, Justin shares how buying one decent bedspread helped him begin transforming an apartment that still looked like a college student lived there. He then explains how the same principle helped him create better boundaries, protect his lunch hour, choose work more carefully, and become more reliable without working sixteen-hour days.Key Ideas and TakeawaysWhy one small improvement can reveal what you want the rest of your life to feel likeHow to use a positive part of your environment as an anchor instead of focusing on everything that is wrongWhy doing more work does not necessarily make someone more valuable or dependableHow overcommitting creates emotional baggage, psychological overhead, and disappointed coworkersWhy consistently doing what you said you would do can matter more than taking on the most tasksHow protecting one meaningful part of your day can influence your projects, boundaries, team, and careerWhy ListenThis episode is for developers, engineers, leaders, and anyone who feels overwhelmed by their work or discouraged by their surroundings. You do not need to redesign your entire life today. You may only need to find one small thing that feels good—and start building from there.Connect with JustinMain website: https://www.justinwenck.comAbout Justin: https://www.justinwenck.com/aboutFree offerings: https://www.justinwenck.com/free-offeringsEvents: https://www.justinwenck.com/eventsConnect: https://www.justinwenck.com/connectPodcast home: https://www.buzzsprout.com/787193Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/engineering-emotions-and-energy-with-justin-wenck-ph-d/id1493136576YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@justinwenckphdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/justinwenckphd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinwenck/Book — Engineered to Love: https://www.engineeredtolove.comAmazon book listing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2SQ21WVAudible audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/Engineered-to-Love-Audiobook/B0CCQLSDS7Mental Wealth audio course: https://grow.emotionsengineering.com/mentalwealthSend us Fan MailWatch the full video episode at Justin Wenck, Ph.D. YouTube Channel!Check out my best-selling book "Engineered to Love: Going Beyond Success to Fulfillment" also available on Audiobook on all streaming platforms!

What if the biggest financial risk in your life isn't the stock market—but your paycheck? Most professionals spend years building successful careers, yet their entire financial future depends on a single employer. In today's world of layoffs, AI disruption, and economic uncertainty, that's becoming an increasingly fragile strategy. In this episode, JR Lowry sits down with Jon Ostenson, founder of FranBridge Consulting and author of Non-Food Franchising, to explore an alternative that more professionals are beginning to consider: business ownership through franchising. Forget fast food. Jon explains why many of today's fastest-growing franchise opportunities are in service businesses—from home services and senior care to B2B consulting—and why they're attracting professionals looking for additional income, long-term wealth, and greater control over their future. Together they discuss:Why relying on one paycheck may be riskier than owning a businessThe biggest myths about franchising—and what it's really likeHow professionals can own businesses while keeping their day jobsThe difference between entrepreneurship and buying into a proven systemWhat makes some businesses more recession-resistant than othersHow business ownership fits into a broader wealth-building strategy Whether you're dreaming of leaving corporate life, looking for a second source of income, or simply thinking more strategically about your financial future, this conversation will challenge how you think about work, risk, and ownership.Check out the full series of “Career Sessions, Career Lessons” podcasts here or visit pathwise.io/podcast/.

Natalie Cheesman, Partner at St. James's Place, joins Sam Oakes to talk about how she built a financial planning practice to £6 million in funds under management in 18 months, without ever fully stepping away from the mortgage business she'd run for 15 years. In this episode, Natalie explains why a transactional mortgage career, however loyal her 1,200-client bank was, left her wanting something more predictable, and what it actually took to build financial planning on top of it rather than instead of it.Natalie talks through passing the CII Investment Advice Diploma in under a year while still running that mortgage business solo, and training through the St. James's Place Academy while continuing to submit mortgage applications in the evenings and on breaks. She describes the support that got her through those first months as a new financial planner, including a business development manager she'd sometimes speak to daily and an administrative specialist who had her submitting business from day one, and how she methodically worked back through her existing client bank and added mortgage-introducer partnerships to grow from £40,000 to £6 million in funds under management through organic growth alone.She also talks about the moment a client realises they can retire years earlier than they thought, what it took to keep building a business through a genuinely hard period in her own life, and what winning the Mike Wilson Award meant to her after 18 months of work.Key takeaways from this episode:Why Natalie kept her mortgage business running while training as a financial plannerHow she passed the CII Investment Advice Diploma in under a year while running that business soloWhat day-to-day support from a St. James's Place business development manager and administrative specialist looked likeHow she rebuilt momentum with her existing 1,200-client mortgage bankHow a mortgage-introducer partnership became a steady source of new businessHow she grew from £40,000 to £6 million in funds under management in 18 monthsWhat winning the Mike Wilson Award meant to her, and the resilience behind itThis is an episode for mortgage advisors weighing up whether financial planning is the right next move for them, and for newer financial planners looking for a practical blueprint on client conversion and introducer relationships.Learn more about St. James's Place at www.sjp.co.uk Financial Planner Life is sponsored by Redmill AdvanceWhether you're starting out, already qualified, or building a training academy, Redmill Advance delivers expert-led learning, exam support and CPD from Level 4 to Chartered.✅ Trusted by top UK firms

When body image feels harder than ever in today's culture, it can be easy to believe your body is the problem. This episode revisits a powerful conversation with motivational speaker Kenzie Brenna about overcoming diet culture, navigating difficult body image days, and building resilience instead of chasing perfection. Kenzie explains why body image healing isn't about reaching a place where you love your body every day. It's about building resilience so that difficult body image moments no longer define your life.✅ What You'll Learn:Why positive body image doesn't mean loving your body every day, and what real healing actually looks likeHow dieting can damage your relationship with food, your body, and your sense of self, even when it seems "healthy"Practical ways to navigate difficult body image days, including curating your social media feed and building a supportive communityHow to cope with the fear of weight gain and stop letting your body size determine your worth or hold you back from living your lifeMindset shifts that can help you become more resilient to diet culture, body criticism, and unrealistic beauty standards

Hurricane Hunter aircraft have transformed our understanding of tropical cyclones, but there are still parts of a hurricane that are too low, too turbulent and too dangerous for a crewed aircraft to explore.That is where a new generation of uncrewed aircraft systems is changing the science.In this episode of the HurricaneCenter Podcast, we speak with Dr. Joe Cione, lead meteorologist with NOAA's Hurricane Research Division and a leader in the development and deployment of emerging hurricane-observation technology.Dr. Cione explains why the lowest portion of a hurricane—the boundary layer immediately above the ocean—is so important to understanding storm structure and intensity. It is the region where the hurricane interacts directly with the sea, transferring heat, moisture and momentum, yet it has historically been one of the most difficult areas for scientists to observe.The conversation explores how small aircraft launched from NOAA Hurricane Hunter planes can descend into the eye, eyewall and lower levels of a tropical cyclone while transmitting measurements back to researchers.We also discuss:Why hurricane intensity remains more difficult to forecast than trackWhat scientists still need to learn about rapid intensificationWhy the interaction between the ocean and atmosphere mattersHow uncrewed systems complement aircraft, satellites, dropsondes and ocean platformsThe engineering challenges of operating inside hurricane-force windsHow observations are eventually incorporated into forecast modelsThe importance of collaboration among government, academia and private industryWhat the next generation of hurricane reconnaissance may look likeHow better observations can ultimately support earlier and more confident emergency decisionsDr. Cione has spent decades investigating the hurricane environment and developing ways to collect measurements from locations that were once inaccessible. His work has included the Coyote, Altius-600 and Black Swift uncrewed aircraft systems.A NOAA team that deployed an Altius aircraft into Hurricane Ian's eyewall received the Department of Commerce Gold Medal for scientific and engineering achievement. Later Black Swift missions demonstrated extended flight time, communication range and the ability to operate within extreme hurricane conditions.This episode offers a rare look at the technology, science and human persistence behind the effort to better understand one of the atmosphere's most powerful phenomena.Support the showSuggest a topic or ask a question: alex@wxguide.comVisit our conference site: www.hurricanecenterlive.comThanks for listening and please share with your friends and co-workers.

Asking ourselves, are the "norms" reflected in students' daily experiences? If we want to build a true community of problem solvers, we have to stop focusing on what our norms say and start focusing on what students actually experience every day.In this episode, we'll chat about:Why classroom experiences always outweigh classroom postersThe difference between correcting student thinking and understanding it firstHow to hold students accountable without using shameWhy most classroom reflection falls flat and what meaningful reflection actually looks likeHow relationships are built through everyday interactions, not one-time activitiesThe simple question that reveals your classroom's real normsWhether you're planning for the first week of school or rethinking your classroom culture, this episode will challenge you to build norms you're truly willing to defend with your decisions.Resources Mentioned in the Episode:

Welcome to the Grief Series, a collection of conversations about the grief woven throughout our lives with some extraordinary women && men bringing their raw, vulnerable stories to the mic. I hope you see yourself somewhere in these stories.---This is episode 200 and I knew I had to make it count. I brought on my favorite person in the world, my husband Jake, for the most honest conversation we've ever had on record. We went into his grief around identity and purpose when I was the breadwinner, the resentment he carried for years, what it actually costs to be the supportive one, && what had to die in both of us for our marriage to become what it is today. This one is for every ambitious woman who has ever wondered what her partner is really carrying && every man who has never had the language to say it out loud.TOPICS WE EXPLOREJake's identity crisis when I became the primary breadwinnerThe grief of losing your sense of purpose and provider identityResentment he buried for years and what it actually looked likeHow my ambition triggered his comparison and jealousyWhat I had to stop doing for him to step into who he wanted to beWhy slowing down in my business saved our marriageThe hyper-independence that was costing me the partnership I wantedWhat Jake sees when nobody's watchingWhat ambitious women get wrong about their husbandsTHE POINTSometimes the grief inside a marriage is a man who doesn't know how to say he feels purposeless. Sometimes it's a woman who's so busy holding everything that she never leaves room to be held. Both of those things can be true at the same time && both of them can change.ABOUT JAKEJake is my husband, my best friend, my baby daddy, && the person who knows me better than anyone in the world. He showed up to this conversation with zero prep && more honesty than most people manage in a lifetime of therapy. We've been together 16 years, married for 12, raised three kids, traveled the world full time, filed for bankruptcy, rebuilt, && somehow ended up in the best season of our marriage yet. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEJake's week-long mental health onsite in TennesseeWork with AshAre you loving it?

This week, Molly is revisiting an important episode about drinking alone, drinking secrecy, and what these behaviors may reveal about your relationship with alcohol.Drinking alone does not automatically mean you have a problem. But when drinking becomes automatic, emotionally driven, or hidden, it is worth getting curious.In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores how these patterns can reinforce alcohol habits, why honest tracking matters, and how to interrupt the cycle without shame or all-or-nothing thinking.You'll learn:Why drinking alone is not the same as having alcohol use disorderWhat subtle drinking secrecy can look likeHow emotional relief strengthens the habit loopSimple ways to create more awareness and choiceThe goal is not perfection. It is noticing the pattern and choosing one small step toward a more peaceful relationship with alcohol.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Your history with food and dieting didn't start with you. You saw your mothers or fathers diet and their grandparents also dieted and their grandparents also dieted. There is a long history of diet culture passed down from generation to generation and expressed differently in the trendiest, most common diet of the time. This isn't about the food, but that nervous system states, traumas, and lack of safety is being expressed through food in family lineages.  Creating a safer and more stabilizing relationship with food can also be engaging in the healing of past generations who never got a chance to feel safe in their bodies and future generations to have that groundwork that you had to create for yourself. In this week's episode, I chat with Amber Caudle, chef, author, speaker, and coach, about: What a journey to food freedom actually looks likeHow the nervous system plays a role in food recoveryThe importance of self compassion, curiosity and creativityThe work of True Body Intelligence for trauma recoveryThe impact of generational trauma on food behaviors, and steps to build trust in your bodyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/rebuilding-body-trust-after-decades-of-dietingHope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Amber: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambercaudlela/Book: Hungry: https://amzn.to/4vYeW3TWebsite: https://www.nourishyourpowers.com/Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

You've sat through an antenatal appointment focused on blood pressure and bump measurements, wishing there'd been room to talk about how you were actually feeling. Midwives want that room too, working inside appointments measured in minutes. There's real momentum building to bring emotional wellbeing further into that time together.Two researchers went looking at exactly what that momentum looks like in practice, and how to act on it without asking midwives to find time they don't have.In this episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr Renee White sits down with Lesley Pascuzzi, childbirth educator and perinatal mental health researcher, and her colleague Nicole Freeman, midwife and PhD researcher in early pregnancy care, to unpack what midwives told them about supporting mental health during pregnancy. Together they explore where the system falls short, and the pilot program already testing a different way forward.You'll Hear About:Why the current model centres illness over wellnessWhat midwives believe a well woman looks likeHow time pressure shapes mental health conversationsWhy continuity of care changes everythingWhat the new pilot program is testingKnowledge is the foundation of advocating for your own mental health, in pregnancy and beyond. The more you understand about your options, the more equipped you are to ask for exactly what you need.If you've ever left an appointment feeling rushed or unheard, send this to a friend who's navigating pregnancy right now.

Anxiety is often treated as something to overcome. But what if it's also one of the forces driving your success? In this episode, JR speaks with Morra Aarons-Mele, author of The Anxious Achiever and host of Harvard Business Review's popular podcast of the same name, about the complex relationship between anxiety, achievement, leadership, and performance. Morra argues that anxiety isn't necessarily a weakness to be fixed. For many high performers, it fuels preparation, creativity, empathy, and ambition. The challenge isn't eliminating anxiety—it's learning how to understand it, manage it, and work with it rather than against it. Their conversation covers:What separates anxious achievers from people who are simply stressedHow anxiety can become both a leadership asset and a liabilityWhy so many high performers are driven by fear, control, and hypervigilanceThe connection between childhood experiences and achievement-oriented behaviorHow mindfulness and self-awareness help people manage anxiety more effectivelyWhy boundaries are especially difficult—and important—for anxious achieversWhat psychologically healthy teams and workplaces look likeHow managers can better support different working styles and needsWhy today's workplace often works against mental well-beingHow leaders can build resilience in an increasingly uncertain world If you've ever felt driven by a constant inner voice pushing you to prepare more, do more, and achieve more, this conversation offers a thoughtful framework for understanding anxiety—not as a flaw, but as something that can be harnessed with greater awareness, intention, and self-compassion.Check out the full series of “Career Sessions, Career Lessons” podcasts here or visit pathwise.io/podcast/.

Send us Fan MailWhat if your struggles with food have very little to do with food itself?In this powerful conversation, Cody sits down with food relationship coach, chef, and author Amber Caudle to explore the deeper emotional, psychological, and nervous system factors that drive our relationship with food.After decades of battling bingeing, restriction, food obsession, and body shame while building a successful career around food, Amber discovered that food was never the real problem. Instead, it was acting as a messenger—pointing toward unmet needs, chronic stress, emotional wounds, and a disconnection from self.  Together, Cody and Amber unpack why so many women feel trapped in cycles of emotional eating, perfectionism, and self-criticism, and how healing begins when we stop trying to control our bodies and start listening to them.This episode is a compassionate invitation to move beyond food rules and willpower and toward self-trust, nervous system regulation, and true nourishment.Whether you've struggled with dieting, emotional eating, body image, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers hope, insight, and practical wisdom for finding peace with food—and with your body.⸻In This Episode, We Discuss:Why food is often the language of unmet needsThe hidden emotional drivers behind overeating and food obsessionHow stress and nervous system dysregulation influence eating behaviorsThe difference between physical hunger and emotional hungerWhy willpower is often not the problemThe connection between trauma, food, and body trustHow busyness and over-functioning impact our relationship with nourishmentWhy women often use food as a source of comfort, relief, and self-careThe downside of health perfectionism and wellness overwhelmAging, body image, and learning to trust your body in midlifeWhat food freedom actually looks likeHow to begin making peace with your bodyWhat women are truly hungry for beyond foodAbout Amber CaudleAmber Caudle is a food relationship coach, chef, nervous system healing practitioner, and founder of Nourish Your Power. Through her coaching work, she helps women heal their relationship with food by addressing the deeper emotional, behavioral, and nervous system patterns that often drive food struggles. Amber combines nutrition, eating psychology, somatic practices, and nervous system regulation to help women reconnect with their bodies and themselves.  She is also the author of Hungry: Reclaiming Food Freedom and Finding Peace in Your Body, a book that shares her personal journey from food obsession and self-abandonment to body trust and self-compassion.  Connect with AmberNourish Your Power Website⁠Amber on Instagram⁠Connect with CodyMixhers.com Use Code: Cody for 15% discount⁠Instagram: @codyjeansanders⁠If This Episode Resonated With You…Please subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a woman who may need the reminder that her body is not the enemy.Your body isn't broken.

April was the top. May confirmed it. Now we are heading into the slide that always bottoms out around August. The question is whether your used inventory is positioned for it.Mike Murray from National Powersport Auctions is back for our pre-owned market update, and this one matters because we are at the turning point in the season. We walk through the May data, compare it to where we were in April, and get into exactly what dealers should be doing right now with the bikes sitting on their lot.This conversation goes deeper than the numbers. Mike makes the case for why dealers are too fixated on book values, why the actual selling price tells a truer story, and how to think about a trade you take in today as a unit you might still own in September.What we cover:Why April was the high water mark and what the slide into August actually looks likeHow values can be up year over year and softening month to month at the same timeThe book value problem: why dealers fixate on JD Power and why the real market often moves faster than the bookWhy a clean late-model R6 can sell for thousands over a brand new one, and what that teaches about pricing to the market instead of the bookWhere Black Book and NPA's own value guide fit into the pictureWhy early June auctions in San Diego came in stronger than expected and what that says about dealer confidenceThe fuel price wildcard and whether it is actually moving metric cruiser demandDomestic cruisers: still the leader, but the price to book story versus the actual dollar story are very differentThe $4,000 spread between a clean Harley and a rough one, and why condition and miles matter more than the bookMetric cruisers: why the small May uptick is probably a flash in the panSport bikes: bouncing around the peak, why dealers who follow the niche are crushing it, and why you cannot have too manyMX cooling off and why product mix and cleanliness drive that number more than demandATV: the standout still climbing, and why used side by sides finally hit their strideSide by side: the seasonal flattening, the regional differences, and why cabbed-out luxury units hold valueThe inventory turn framework: the 0 to 30, 60, 90, and 120 day buckets and why Mike built them aggressive on purposeThe real cost of holding a unit: how a $10,000 bike costs around $356 a month and nearly $2,900 over 90 days once you add opportunity costWhy an 18% gross over 12 months might actually be a 3% lossProactive pricing: how to get ahead of the softening market instead of chasing it downThe exit strategy: NPA Direct Buy, consignment, and why you should never wish a wholesale unit into a retail customerWatch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=xGw636a89UUDAK20⁠Connect with Mike Murray (NPA): ⁠mmurray@npauctions.com⁠NPA Market Reports: ⁠https://www.npauctions.com/cp/npa-market-report⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠MotoHunt for Dealers: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠

I'm going to say something that might sting a little, the salon owners who are going to have their best year ever in 2026 are not the ones taking the summer off. They're the ones doing the work in June and July when everyone else decided it was too hot and too fun to think about business.I've watched this pattern play out for 19 years. And I am not about to let you sit in September wondering why Q4 feels so hard when the answers are right here.Whether your summer is busy and you're coasting, or it's a little slow and you're questioning yourself, both of those scenarios are making the same mistake. Summer is not a pause for your business. It's when your Q4 gets built strong or gets broken. And I need you to hear that.In this episode:The two salon owner patterns I see every single summer, and why both are leaving serious money on the tableWhy everything you do (or don't do) right now in June is directly setting up what September, October, November, and December look likeHow the visibility work you do today compounds into a packed holiday season, and why waiting until October is too lateWhy summer is the exact moment to get your junior stylists booked up, and what that means for your revenue by Q4The systems you keep saying you'll get to, and how to actually put them in place now, while you have the breathing room to do it rightThe honest question I want you to sit with: do you actually want to grow your business this year?I'm being a little bossy in this one, but only because I want you to look back at the end of this year and say that summer was the moment everything changed.The Monday Club:Business education, community, and tools to build a salon that runs like a real business, with leadership development, a full marketing ecosystem, and Fully Booked all under one roof.

Then using AI to test faster than she ever could before.In this episode she talks through what the process actually involves, the three levers that move the needle in any funnel, the one benchmark she watches obsessively on landing pages, how she uses Claude to generate full funnel copy from screenshots of top-performing creatives, and why AI visuals are making consumers more suspicious, not less.Key topicsWhy web funnels are harder to build than most people think and what the process actually looks likeHow to identify the dominant funnel in a vertical before building anythingThe 40% page-one to page-two benchmark and what to do when you fall below itHow to match landing page copy to ad creative using UTM tagsHow Elise uses Claude to generate funnel copy and assessment questions from top-performing creativesHow AI helped her launch a male-specific funnel in two weeks for an app with 80% female usersWhy AI-generated visuals are creating consumer suspicion and what to do about it

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie chats with Daj Mitchell—school-based SLP, online educator, and Illinois State University graduate—about getting everyone on board with AAC. With over six years of experience serving pediatric and adult clients across settings, Daj breaks down her buy-in stair step framework and explains why many SLPs accidentally skip to the last step. She shares practical strategies for coaching parents and staff, building real collaboration, and improving carryover beyond the therapy room. They also explore Daj's work in AI, AAC, and neurodiversity-affirming care, along with how she supports fellow clinicians through education and social media. This one's for any SLP who's ever handed a family a home program and never heard about it again.Bullet Points to Discuss: What the AAC buy-in stair step framework actually looks likeHow adult learning theory applies to parent and stakeholder coachingWhy video modeling works better than handouts for skeptical caregiversHow to use Google Forms, scheduled emails, and templates to manage AAC collaboration without eating your lunchWhat an AAC profile spreadsheet is and why Daj swears by itHow to extend the same coaching framework to teachers, paras, and adminHere's what we learned: Buy-in has three parts. Acceptance, willingness to support, and active participation are not the same thing—and most caregivers are only at step one.Don't skip ahead. Handing over a home program before a caregiver is ready guarantees the device stays on the refrigerator.Adults need a reason. Connect AAC to something that already matters in their life and they'll move faster.Start with one win. Find the routine they actually care about and build from there.Set it and forget it. Once your emails and forms are built, your collaboration system basically runs itself.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Learn more about Daj Mitchell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourslpdaj/ Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

This episode is different. After five years of never missing a week, we suddenly disappeared for two weeks…Two weeks ago, we lost one of our best friends — Chris Crawford — unexpectedly at just 46 years old. In this episode, we sit down not with polished answers or a sermon outline, but simply as two grieving friends trying to process heartbreak in real time.We talk honestly about:What grief actually feels likeHow loss comes in wavesThe emotional weight of showing up when you don't want toWhy presence matters more than wordsThe tension of holding hope and heartbreak at the same timeSome of the unhelpful things people say to grieving people (even with good intentions)Why we felt it was important not to just “move on” too quicklyThis is a conversation about friendship, loss, pain, love, and learning how to sit with grief instead of trying to fix it.If you're grieving right now…If someone you love is grieving…Or if you simply need permission to not be okay for a while…we hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone.More than anything, this conversation reminded us: Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply show up.00:00 - We're Back After Tragedy00:36 - Missing Our First Podcast Weeks in 5 Years01:07 - Losing One of Our Best Friends03:03 - How Grief Comes in Waves04:36 - The Closest Loss We've Ever Experienced05:19 - The Shock of Losing Chris at 4607:11 - Writing Through Grief & Journaling08:26 - Why Christians Struggle With Grief08:58 - Preaching While Grieving10:24 - Holding Hope and Heartbreak Together11:54 - Grieving Without Easy Answers13:14 - The Tension of Comforting People15:13 - Presence Matters More Than Words15:45 - A Message That Encouraged Us18:33 - Grief, Vulnerability & Being Real20:15 - Show Up for Someone This Week20:50 - Never Underestimate Presence21:43 - What's Next for the Podcast22:08 - Final Thoughts & Encouragement

One year in. And what a year it has been.In this episode I am joined by Katie Rollings, founder of Fertility Action, to mark the charity's first birthday. We talk about everything from the support groups that have quietly changed people's lives, to the campaign work happening at the highest levels of government, to what Katie believes the next big push needs to be: a national fertility strategy.This is a conversation full of hope. There is still so much to do, but the momentum is real, the people are extraordinary, and the case for change has never been stronger.What we discuss in this episode:What Fertility Action has achieved in its first year and the stories that have kept Katie goingHow the support groups actually work and why showing up with your camera off is completely fineThe Trying to Conceive group, the Positive Test and Beyond group, the Secondary Infertility group and what each one has becomeThe in-person walk-and-talk meetups in London and ManchesterThe woman who found her best friend through a Fertility Action support groupWhy the Life After Treatment group has been harder to grow and what Fertility Action is learning from thatThe South Asian support group and why in-person connection is what that community really needsThe new NICE guidelines and the change that barely made the headlines: up to six cycles in selected patientsWhy campaigning at ICB level has not worked and why Fertility Action is now pushing for central commissioningHow fertility treatment compares across Europe and why the UK is falling behindWhy fertility still sits awkwardly between the Women's Health Strategy and the Men's Health Strategy and gets properly covered in neitherWhy Katie believes the UK urgently needs its own national fertility strategyThe education project Fertility Action has launched with colleges and the National Education UnionThe moment a 17-year-old student challenged them in a college debate and what happened nextThe Three Peaks Challenge: why Katie chose it, who is doing it and how to donateFertility Action's birthday celebrations and what the next two years look likeHow to get involved as a volunteerAbout Katie Rollings and Fertility ActionKatie Rollings is the founder of Fertility Action, the UK's newest fertility charity, now celebrating its first birthday.

Picture this: You just got an inquiry from a brand photography client you are so excited to work with. You spend 45 minutes building a custom proposal...tweaking image counts, session length, adding options, and you hit send feeling good. And then? Silence. Or worse, they come back asking what they can remove to make it cheaper.Here's the thing: it's not your pricing. It's how you're pricing.In this episode, I'm breaking down why custom packages are quietly killing your conversions and what to do instead. If you've been defaulting to “build-your-own” proposals because you want to serve your clients well, this is your sign to stop overcomplicating it. Your clients don't need more options. They need a clear, confident expert to guide them!We're talking:Why “custom everything” creates confusion (not flexibility)How too many options leads to ghosting and price shoppingThe real reason clients push back on pricingWhy features don't sell (and what actually does)What an expert-level package structure actually looks likeHow to position your offer so clients trust you without questioning every detailLinks & Resources✨Join Behind the Shot - my self-paced course for brand photographers who want to confidently plan, shoot, and deliver brand sessions that get results—for their clients and for their business.

There are two completely different kinds of action in a business — and most people are either mixing them up or don't realize there's a difference at all. There are the actions you take to make money now and get clients. And there are the actions you take to build toward the bigger vision — the life and business you're ultimately working toward. These are not always the same. And confusing them is keeping a lot of people stuck.In this episode, I'm breaking it all down — because the truth is, your business exists to fund your life. Not the other way around. The big vision — the body of work, the lifestyle, the freedom, the health, the version of yourself you're becoming — that's what this is all for. But you cannot start there. You cannot build the dream business model before you have a business that makes money. The money comes first. And that means the actions that get you to money now have to come first too.What I see constantly — with people just starting out and with people who have been building for years — is that they're doing tomorrow's work today. They're taking big vision actions when what they actually need right now is a client and revenue. Or they've been so locked into the immediate hustle that they've never given themselves permission to think about what they're actually building toward. Both are a problem. And this episode is about how to hold both — clearly, intentionally, and in the right order.Reasons to tune in:The difference between Big Vision actions and Immediate Goal actions — and why knowing which one you're taking changes everythingWhy you cannot build your dream business model first — and what you actually have to do before any of that becomes possibleHow to use a four-quadrant framework to map the full picture of what you're working toward: lifestyle, business, health, and identityWhy the right immediate action is almost always simpler than what most people are doing — and what it actually looks likeHow to wake up every morning and know exactly which kind of action belongs in your dayThis is for you whether you're just getting started or years into building — because the confusion between these two kinds of action doesn't go away on its own. It just gets more expensive.
