Quick Summary: In this candid solo episode, Kelsey pulls back the curtain on what building a business as a stay-at-home mama actually looks like — not the highlight reel, but the real thing. Over three days, she shares her scheduling systems, productivity hacks, business priorities, and the inevitable curveballs that come with parenting, entrepreneurship, and doing it all with intention.In This Episode:The "4 Days in a Day" framework Kelsey uses (inspired by Ed Mylett) to structure her time as a mama and business ownerWhy she increased Freddy's daycare days from 2 to 3 and what that decision felt likeHow she uses "time confetti" (small pockets of time) in the 72 hours before a presentationHer morning routine, workout habits, and why she refuses to feel guilty about prioritizing movementA real-time look at her client roster and daily coaching workHer content strategy anchor: why the podcast is her #1 priority and what she's NOT doing in 2026The Three M's framework: Mission, Mindset, Main IngredientsHer VA system, Asana workflow, and how she delegates podcast productionHer experience leading a training in the High Vibe Women community on ranking on ChatGPTThe power of masterminds — both running one and being a member of oneWednesday's curveball: daycare closes early, support squad to the rescueThe visibility conversation she keeps having with clients: long-form + short-form + in-personKey Takeaways:Structure your day in chunks, not one long stretch. Kelsey's "4 Days in a Day" model helps her show up for her business and her family without burning out.If it's not in the calendar, it's not happening.

In this episode of The Profitable Play Podcast, I'm joined by Lindsay, the founder of Spirited Play Labs—an inclusive, membership-based indoor play space in the San Francisco Bay Area designed to support neurodivergent children and their families.Lindsay is a former speech therapist, a parent of a neurodivergent child, and she now identifies as neurodivergent herself—so this conversation blends real-life inclusion, sustainable operations, and multi-location growth.We talk about how Lindsay scaled from one location to three (with a fourth planned), how she built a team structure that allows her to stay out of daily operations, and why her staff and culture are the most defensible part of her business model.We also cover the behind-the-scenes of becoming a vendor with California's Regional Center so certain families can have memberships covered—creating a B2B revenue stream and a strong referral engine.If you want practical ideas around membership models, inclusive play design, staff training, customer experience consistency, and scaling beyond one location, this episode is for you.BLOG with top 12 takeaways: https://www.michelecaruana.com/blog/spirited-play-labs-interviewIn this episode, Lindsay and I cover:How she launched Spirited Play Labs after COVID and the needs she saw in her communityWhat it looks like to build an inclusive indoor playground that supports neurodivergent kids without feeling clinicalWhy she chose a membership-based model and how her first-time visit process worksHow she scaled from 1 to 3 locations (and what changed operationally as she grew)The staffing structure behind her locations: managers, training, and culture consistencyThe real lessons she learned about real estate, buildouts, and overspending early onHow she became a Regional Center vendor in California and what “B2B memberships” can look likeHow she thinks about behavior, regulation, and safety without relying on strict “rules boards”The referral engines that actually work in the disability community (and why she spends very little on ads)How being neurodivergent impacts her leadership, energy, and long-term sustainability as an ownerSimple ways traditional play cafés can become more inclusive—starting with who you listen to and who you hireConnect with Lindsay / Spirited Play LabsInstagram: Spirited Play LabsEmail: lindsay@spiritedplaylabs.comWebsite: https://spiritedplaylabs.com/Blog for this episode: https://www.michelecaruana.com/blog/spirited-play-labs-interviewRESOURCES:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyGetting Started With Your Play Cafe [YouTube Video Playlist]What's Working In The Indoor Play Industry 2025 GuideFund Your Indoor Play Business [Free Training]Indoor Play Courses & 1:1 Consulting WaitlistMichele's InstagramMichele's WebsitePlay Cafe Academy YouTube ChannelETSY Template ShopPrepare Your Indoor Playground For a RecessionPlay Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com TOOLS & OTHER LINKS:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers Society: http://bit.ly/3HES7fDQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLivingActive Campaign Free TrialFree Demo of Aluvii All-In-One POS

Growth is rarely linear, and it's almost never pretty. In this season two debut of Mucked Up My Self Care, Jill and Linda are back — and they are not the same women who started this podcast. From pregnancy announcements and pregnancy symptoms to solo parenting four kids 24/7 and navigating grief, this episode is a raw, honest look at what it means to evolve publicly and privately, and what you have to let go of to make room for who you're becoming. If you've ever felt like slowing down means falling behind, this one's for you.In this episode, you'll hear:Why slowing down can actually be the most intentional form of growth — and how Jill and Linda are applying that to the podcast in season twoJill's big announcement: after years of trying, baby number two is on the way — and pregnancy symptoms are no joke the second time aroundWhat it really means to be a solo parent (hint: it's not the same as single parenting) and how Linda is navigating that 100% on her ownHow grief, miscarriage, and massive life shifts shaped the decision to take a break — and why that was one of the smartest moves they've madeThe quarterly check-in strategy that keeps this cross-world collaboration grounded and growingWhy posting less can actually mean doing more — and what season two is going to look likeHow to give yourself permission to outgrow the version of you that got you startedGrowth doesn't always look like doing more. Sometimes it looks like a 3-year-old pouring cereal five times a day while you try to hold it all together — and finding the grace in that chaos anyway. Jill and Linda get vulnerable about the behind-the-scenes moments that nobody sees, the habits and expectations worth letting go of, and why our taste buds regenerating every couple of weeks might just be the best metaphor for self-care growth you'll hear today. You're allowed to outgrow the old version of you. And we're here to hold that space.Until next episode, we hope you can unstuck your muck!

What happens when there's no cheating, no explosive betrayal, no dramatic final straw, yet you still know the marriage is over?In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, Erica sits down with Simona Costantini to share her powerful life after divorce transformation story. Together, they unpack what it means to end a marriage that simply ran its course, how to navigate family disappointment, and how to rebuild when there's no obvious villain.Simona shares how growing in different directions, misaligned life goals, and emotional distance led her to choose divorce after nearly a decade together. She opens up about the reality of separating without children, co-parenting a dog, buying out a home in one of Canada's most expensive housing markets, and doing whatever it took to keep a roof over her head, from dog sitting to grocery delivery to Airbnb hosting.This conversation explores what rebuilding after divorce really looks like. Not dramatic reinvention. Not overnight healing. But small daily choices, mindset shifts, energy awareness, and consuming content that supports growth instead of grief.If you're navigating divorce without a “big reason,” struggling with family judgment, or questioning whether choosing yourself was the right decision, this episode will remind you that growth seasons are real, alignment matters, and life on the other side can be more beautiful than you imagined.You'll learn:Why divorce without a dramatic betrayal can be harder to explain but just as validHow growing in different directions slowly erodes connectionWhy family disappointment can be one of the hardest parts of divorceThe emotional impact of separating without closureWhat co-parenting a dog after divorce really looks likeHow to handle a marital home during divorceCreative ways to stay financially afloat after separationWhy what you consume during divorce shapes your healingThe power of tiny daily choices in rebuilding your lifeHow to move from feeling stuck to becoming an active participant in your lifeWhy “this is not forever” can be a grounding mantra in hard seasonsHow alignment and energy shift your post-divorce experienceWe talk about:00:00 Invitation to join the club and rise together02:00 Simona's divorce story and asking for the separation04:00 Expecting an amicable divorce and navigating respect06:00 Growing apart and realizing life goals were misaligned08:00 Video games, emotional distance, and coexistence10:00 The moment she knew it was over12:00 Navigating family disappointment and cultural expectations14:00 Living together after separation and lack of closure16:00 Divorce without cheating or betrayal18:00 Why people need a “reason” for divorce20:00 Learning what conversations should happen before marriage22:00 Buying out the house and staying during separation24:00 Financial pressure and creative income solutions26:00 Dog sitting, Instacart, and Airbnb as survival strategy28:00 Letting go of the house and releasing attachment30:00 Making the best decision with the information you have32:00 The power of consuming uplifting conversations34:00 Music, mindset, and choosing different energy36:00 Tiny choices that create transformation38:00 Rebuilding life after divorce one decision at a timeLinks Mentioned in the ShowNeed a monthly reset and rhythm?

Caregiving is often framed as a burden, but what if it's also one of the most meaningful ways we come to know ourselves?Emily sits down with acclaimed journalist and cultural critic Elissa Strauss for this episode to discuss her extensive work on the politics and culture of parenting and caregiving, which has appeared in publications like The Atlantic and The New York Times. Centering on her new book, When You Care: The Unexpected Magic of Caring for Others, they challenge feminist notions that have undervalued caregiving and explore how caregiving can enrich one's sense of self. You'll hear about the philosophical foundations of care ethics and how caregiving for various dependents, not just children, brings profound personal growth, scientific research on caregiver well-being, the importance of male caregivers, and also the need for systemic support for caregivers.Listen and Learn: How redefining caregiving, not as a burden, but as a powerful source of meaning and self-expansion, might change what we think feminism, motherhood, and what a “full” life actually look likeHow caregiving across parenting, disability, and aging becomes an intense, surprising mirror that reshapes identity and meaning in ways most of us never expectThe research that shows why caregiving doesn't have to wear you down, and under certain conditions, it can actually make you healthier and even help you live longerHow one husband turned the challenges of caregiving into moments of quiet activism, love, and connectionHow does caring for others bring meaning, even when day-to-day life feels messy?What if the real barrier for working caregivers isn't just the glass ceiling but the glass door separating home and work, and how breaking it could change everything we value about care?Why men's brains change when they care for others, how caregiving reshapes masculinity, and what it really means for dads todayWhy caring for those closest to us isn't just personal—it's a radical philosophical lens that could change how we think about society itselfResources: When You Care: The Unexpected Magic of Caring for Others https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781982169282Elisa's Website: https://www.elissastrauss.com/Elisa's Substack: https://elissa.substack.com/Connect with Elisa on Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/elissa.strauss.7/https://www.instagram.com/elissaavery/https://www.linkedin.com/in/elissa-strauss-742720112 About Elissa StraussElissa Strauss is a journalist, essayist, and cultural critic who has been writing about the politics and culture of parenting and caregiving for more than fifteen years.

Episode 102 We hear the word love everywhere—but are we sure we're defining it the way God does?The world tells us love is a feeling, a vibe, or a specific set of actions and words. But Scripture paints a much deeper, truer picture—and it might challenge everything you've been taught to expect from love.Together, we'll open the famous “love chapter,” 1 Corinthians 13, and explore how God's standard of love is radically different from culture's version. We talk about how easy it is to be deceived into settling for emotional highs, empty promises, or surface-level affection—and why the Bible says God Himself is love.You'll discover how every description of love in 1 Corinthians 13 ultimately points to Jesus as our perfect example and standard, and what that means for your faith, your relationships, and your expectations.If you've ever wondered:What real, godly love actually looks likeHow to discern true love from counterfeitsWhy biblical love isn't just a feeling—but a reflection of Christ…this conversation is for you.

In Episode 129 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, I'm joined by ultrarunner, coach, and host of The Everyday Ultra Podcast, Joe Corcione. Joe's story is not the typical “natural-born athlete” narrative. He wasn't active growing up, and he struggled with drugs and alcohol as a teenager and young adult. With a willingness to do the work (both physically and mentally) and make small changes, Joe gradually became sober and reshaped his identity. He went on to finish over 25 ultramarathons, coach runners around the world, and build the Everyday Ultra community.Throughout our conversation, you'll notice a powerful theme around the stories we tell ourselves and how these stories impact our behavior. Joe and I explore:How his early beliefs that he was "unathletic" held him back for years to comeWhy small, consistent changes matter more than extremesHow shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset helped him recover from addiction, start running longer distances, and determine what eating style worked best for his bodyWhy endurance athletes cannot only rely on exercise as a coping toolWhat sustainable ultramarathon training really looks likeHow he fuels himself during training runs and races

Being a tall woman comes with a whole slew of questions, right? Like “How's the weather up there?” Or “Are your parents tall?” Or “Do you play basketball?” If you cringed or got annoyed by any of these, I honestly don't blame you. However, there are other questions that tall women receive that are a bit…off. “Can I climb you?” “Can you pick me up?” “Can you step on me?” I really am amazed by what comes out of people's mouths sometimes lol. And if you're a tall girly who has experienced any of this, you are not alone. Too often, tall women are fetishized because of their height, and the same goes for the short girlies. In today's episode, we're exploring height as a fetish, why many women, both tall and short, are uncomfortable with it, and ways we can deal with it.

In this powerful episode of The Running Wine Mom, Samantha Cieslinski sits down with journalist, filmmaker, and two-time breast cancer survivor Athena Jones for an honest conversation about early detection, self-advocacy, and the racial disparities Black women face in breast cancer outcomes.Diagnosed twice before the age of 40, Athena shares how a baseline mammogram — offered years before standard screening guidelines — changed the course of her life. She opens up about navigating cancer while advancing her career, losing her mother, and learning to trust her body when something didn't feel right.Together, Samantha and Athena explore why breast cancer is often diagnosed younger in Black women, how systemic barriers impact early detection, and what “better” could look like in the future — including risk-based screening and emerging AI tools in healthcare.This episode is a reminder to listen to your body, ask better questions, and never stop advocating for yourself.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy early detection is critical — especially for women under 40How a baseline mammogram helped catch cancer at Stage 0The emotional and mental toll of a second breast cancer diagnosisWhy breast cancer outcomes are worse for Black women — and whyBarriers to screening: insurance, guidelines, bias, and accessWhat self-advocacy in healthcare really looks likeHow community and support can change treatment decisionsWhat gives hope for the future of breast cancer careResources & Links MentionedAthena Jones on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamathenajonesSisters' Keepers Documentary (in production): https://www.sisterskeepersdoc.comSusan G.

Why Extreme New Year's Resolutions Fail (And What Actually Works)Every January, people set bold New Year's resolutions—cutting carbs, training every day, going “all in.”And every year, most of those plans fall apart.In this episode, we talk about why extreme resolutions don't work—especially after 40—and what actually creates lasting results instead.You'll learn:Why “all-or-nothing” plans backfireHow extremes increase burnout, fatigue, and reboundWhy consistency beats intensity every timeWhat realistic, sustainable resolutions actually look likeHow to set goals your body and lifestyle can supportThis conversation is about shifting from punishment to partnership with your body.If you've ever felt like you “failed” your New Year's resolution, this episode will help you see why it wasn't a discipline problem—it was a strategy problem.Consistency works.Extremes don't.

Courtney shares what she's seen from inside education and why forcing kids to meet grade-level standards can backfire — especially when kids develop at different rates.We also get into:What unschooling really means (and why it's not “kids watching TV all day”)Why school “socialization” can be toxic and what healthy socialization looks likeHow to handle screen time without power struggles (and why curiosity matters)The link between anxiety, nervous system regulation, and learningWhy many kids are labeled too early — and what parents can do insteadHow to spark learning naturally through real life, nature, conversation, and connectionA fascinating look at Human Design as a tool for understanding how your child learnsIf you're a parent who's trying to homeschool without recreating school at home — and you want your child to grow in confidence, curiosity, and love of learning — this episode will help you breathe again.

She had seven children. She competed in bodybuilding. She ran marathons. She did everything “right.” And she still needed surgery.In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with Angela — a 42-year-old mother of seven who traveled from Colorado after realizing that even elite discipline and peak fitness couldn't reverse the physical effects of pregnancy, breastfeeding, and abdominal muscle separation. At just 5'1” and 110 pounds, Angela was already competing in bodybuilding — yet loose skin, diastasis recti, and deflated breast tissue created limitations that no amount of training could fix. This conversation dismantles the myth that “working harder” eliminates the need for surgery — replacing shame with science, clarity, and empowerment. Dr. Rahban breaks down:Why even elite athletes may require surgical correction after multiple pregnanciesFat loss vs. loose skin vs. muscle separation — and why they're not the sameWhy mini-tucks often fail athletic patientsWhen vertical and anchor scars are the right choiceWhat real recovery actually feels likeHow proper surgery restores strength, posture, and performanceThe psychology of confidence, intimacy, and body ownershipHow to properly vet a surgeon — and why podcasts reveal more truth than marketingAngela also shares her honest recovery experience, returning to heavy training, and how surgery elevated not just her body — but her confidence and quality of life. This episode is for women who've maximized their health and discipline — and are ready to understand when surgery becomes a tool, not a failure.

In this powerful episode, Larry and I go back to the week in December 1998 that changed our lives forever. What started as a routine appointment just before the holidays quickly became a devastating spiral of tests, unanswered questions, and the phone call that revealed I had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer at only 26 years old.We share:The moment my doctor noticed something was wrongThe shock of hearing “It's cancer” days before ChristmasThe traumatic appointment where I was told to get my affairs in orderHow a second oncologist offered hope and completely changed my prognosisWhat those early days of fear, uncertainty, and survival really felt likeHow this diagnosis became the foundation for the life and mission I have todayIf you're navigating a new cancer diagnosis, living with metastatic breast cancer, or supporting someone who is, this honest conversation is for you. This is the story I wish I could have heard back then — a story about fear, resilience, terrible doctors, life-saving doctors, and the spark of hope that carried me forward.27 years later, I'm still here. And I want you to know that hope is real.

Smartphones have become the default for families, but what if the default is actually harmful? In this episode, Davies Owens talks with Chris Kaspar, founder and CEO of Techless, about why modern devices were never designed with children in mind and how parents can choose a healthier path.Chris shares the moment that opened his eyes as a foster parent and explains why families today feel trapped between two extremes. Either give kids full access to the digital world or reject technology altogether. He argues that both options miss the mark. The real issue is the design, incentives, and addictive features built into mainstream phones that quietly shape identity, attention, and spiritual formation.

You'll walk away with encouragement, revelation, and a renewed sense of what God intended birth to be.Tune in to hear:How losing a baby shaped Caitlin's faith and future pregnanciesWhy she chose an undisturbed home birth with no medical interventionsThe moment she surrendered fully and slipped into a transcendent stateHer vivid vision of Jesus walking toward her holding an infantThe role of safety, support, and environment in physiological birthWhat the “quietude/rest-and-be-thankful” phase actually feels likeHow she gave birth to a 10-pound baby with no tearingWhy she believes this experience transformed her marriage and identityThe truth about pain in childbirth from a biblical and physiological lensConnect with Caitlin:sehlahmomservices.comIG: sehlah.motherhood.service Use code PODCAST to get $50 off the Pain Free Birth E-course HERECONNECT WITH KAREN:Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/painfreebirth Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/painfreebirth/ Spotify Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/5zEiKMIHFewZeVdzfBSEMS Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/pain-free-birth/id1696179731Website - https://painfreebirth.com/ 

Almost every brand photographer has said it at some point: “My clients only want a one-hour session.” And honestly? I get why that feels true; I used to believe it too. But one-hour brand shoots are keeping so many photographers stuck, exhausted, and wildly underpaid.In this episode, we're getting into why short sessions are creating chaos (for you and your clients) and why introducing a signature session is one of the fastest ways to elevate your work, raise your prices, and get clients the results they actually want.This episode walks through what a signature session includes, how to position it, and what it takes to confidently remove “time” from your packages, so you can finally price based on value instead of minutes on your watch.We're talking:Why one-hour brand sessions lead to chaos, over-delivery, and burned-out photographersThe #1 mindset shift photographers need to stop underchargingWhat a signature session actually looks likeHow to confidently push back when clients say they “only need an hour”Why time shouldn't be on your pricing/services pageA peek inside the brand-new pricing module inside Behind the Shot (and the Black Friday deal!)Links & Resources
