Grief is a natural response to loss. It might be the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or a way of life, like many of us are experiencing during COVID. Today's special guest is Bridget Caletka, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. Bridget has ten years of direct counseling experience within academics, agency, and outpatient mental health settings, and a particular focus of her practice is working with grieving clients.

In this episode, we talk about grief – the five stages of the process, some misconceptions about it, and understanding when to get professional help.

While growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, a stray bullet ripped through the walls of Sterling White’s family home. In the moments that followed, eight-year-old Sterling decided to take control of his reality and begin working toward his future. From humble beginnings selling Kool-Aid, Sterling has since made his success from hundreds of single-family and multi-family deals and has accumulated over $18 million in assets.

The phrase “at the end of the tunnel” can be reminiscent of death. While this podcast isn’t about death itself, it often addresses the death of the part of ourselves that believes we don't have what we need in order to pursue our passion, our purpose, or our calling in life. It's a rebirth of what's truly important, which is saying yes to whatever is in our hearts. These conversations are about real people, with real obligations and real obstacles, that have somehow found the courage to say yes to what was in their heart. As a result, they found themselves on quite the adventure! This week's guest could be the poster child for that paradigm. Her name is Pam Grout, and she's a New York Times bestselling author, a travel blogger who has visited every continent except for Antarctica, and a student of A Course in Miracles. In this episode, Pam talks candidly about the loss of her daughter, the little rituals they shared, and how she has coped with the grief of her daughter’s passing. She shares the wisdom that she's gleaned from her adventures and from the rocky parts of her journey as well, because, even for those who know full well that we co-create our reality, life is still going to test us. Pam also describes her writing journey, the process of writing her bestseller, E-Squared, and her advice for those looking to write spiritual guidance books. Pam’s definition of success, after everything she has been through and after writing 20 books, is to see the face of God in every person she meets, and her whole story is incredibly inspiring, so make sure to tune in today!Key Points From This Episode:Pam’s favorite activity as a child was going to the library and reading.Listeners hear a bit more about Pam’s childhood, growing up in Kansas.If she wanted to achieve her dreams, Pam realized she had to come up with creative capital.Why Pam believes she always saw herself becoming a writer, even as a teenager.Pam’s first job at a newspaper and why she doesn’t consider herself a corporate person.What it meant to Pam to become a New York Times best-selling author.Choosing experiences over material things and becoming a travel writer in her 20s.Finding her spiritual foundation in a loving, benevolent force and learning to trust in it.Hearing God’s voice, questioning the source, and studying A Course in Miracles (ACIM).Pam provides a synopsis of what ACIM is and how it helped her choose a different path.How a psychic reading predicted her pregnancy and how Pam chose to see things differently.The affirmation or appeal to the universe Pam repeated when her daughter was a baby.Self-publishing Jumpstart Your Metabolism – why Pam decided to write that book.Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Pam Grout on TwitterPam Grout on LinkedInPam Grout on FacebookPam GroutA Course in MiraclesGod Doesn’t Have Bad Hair DaysTaz Grout’s 222 FoundationE-CubedLight Watkins

Polycystic ovarian syndrome creates hormonal imbalances in thyroid hormones as well as cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and insulin. Thankfully, many of these imbalances can be corrected by making different lifestyle choices relating to diet, sleep, exercise, and more. In this episode, you will hear some of Dr. Minni’s wisdom from the world of functional medicine that can be used to correct such hormonal imbalances caused by PCOS. A common theme from today’s show and an approach that helps to correct imbalances in almost all the hormones spoken of is the adoption of a Paleolithic diet. That means eating more fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs, poultry, and meat. Other lifestyle choices Dr. Minni talks about that change depending on the hormone include getting more sunlight, sleep, and exercise, trying to reduce stress whenever possible, and avoiding certain food groups too! Make sure you tune in today so you can learn how to crush your hormonal imbalances caused by PCOS!Key Points From This Episode:Hormonal imbalances caused by PCOS which have knock-on effects on other hormones.The number of hormones we have, their function, and the need for them to stay in balance.Connections between diet and hormones: You can eat to balance your hormones.Diet, sleep, and lifestyle advice for those who have hypothyroidism from PCOS.What to eat when you are insulin resistant, and the value of an increase in exercise.The importance of having healthy cortisol for keeping stress levels low.How to increase cortisol by getting sunlight, sleeping right, a Paleolithic diet, and reducing stress.The building blocks of cholesterol synthesis and the benefits of cholesterol for cortisol.Keeping estrogen and progesterone balanced with calories, a Paleolithic diet, and more.The effects of obesity, caffeine, and food that mimics the effects of estrogen on women.Keeping protein levels healthy with a Paleolithic diet and ghee, and what to avoid. Tweetables:“There are a lot of hormonal imbalances in polycystic ovarian syndrome, which further lead to hormonal imbalances.” — Dr. Minni Malhotra [0:00:36]“So as you can see that most of these hormones are supported by eating a Paleolithic diet, but specific hormones have specific needs.” — Dr. Minni Malhotra [0:12:11]Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Dr. Minni Malhotra on LinkedInAnchor Wellness Center

In today's episode, we’re going to talk through four reasons why you should have a target word count for your story. Here's a preview of what's included:[01:50] Generally speaking, a novel is defined as any story over 40,000 words. But, the average novel is usually somewhere around 80,000-100,000 words.[02:05] Technically there’s no maximum length for a novel, but there are guidelines you can follow to determine whether your story is the appropriate length, or too long. These guidelines are determined by the genre and the target age range you’re writing for so, it’s always a good idea to know what your genre is and what age range you’re writing for before you land on a target word count.[03:15] Reason #1: Having a target word count can help you make a realistic writing schedule. You can break your target word count into smaller pieces and then estimate the time it will take to finish those pieces.[05:15] Reason #2: Having a target word count can help you outline your story. You can break down your target word count into the number of words within each act, the approximate number of scenes within each act, and more.[07:05] Reason #3: Having a target word count will help you edit your work. And that's because you can use your target word count to figure out approximately how many words you'll need to cut or add. From there, you can make a more realistic plan for editing your draft.[08:15] Reason #4: Having a target word count will help you when it comes time to publish. If you're planning to traditionally publish, being within your genre's average word count could be the difference between your manuscript being read or not. If you're going the self-publishing route, you'll want to keep story length in mind so that you can budget properly and meet reader's expectations.[10:00] Key points and episode recap.Subscribe & Review in Apple PodcastsAre you subscribed to my podcast?

She is bringing change and social justice to schools everywhere by working with the Toledo Public School District’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee, and she also works with organizations, such as Solana, who serves the intellectual and developmental disabilities community, as well as community health workers organizations and with young women everywhere.

I would be trying to ask questions and talk to people about, ‘Why are you doing it this way?’ Or ‘Why is this this way?’ because I was trying to figure it out in my own personal life. The two weren’t 100% [aligned].” — @dianap_patton [0:16:22]“You can’t have resilience as a characteristic if you haven’t had adversity.” — Cassandra Shuck [0:20:37]Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Diana PattonDiana Patton on InstagramDiana Patton on FacebookThe RISE ProgramPivot and Rise MastermindCassandra ShuckSourced Strategy Course

Site traffic is super important, but what’s equally important (or arguably even more important) is how long people stay on your website. A bunch of quick hits to your site from your Instagram or Google search is awesome, but only awesome if those people hang around long enough to get to know your business, what you sell, and how you can help them. The more time someone spends on your site in a single visit, the more likely they will return later, the more trust you’re building with them, and the more likely that you’ll convert them into clients and customers. So, in this episode, I’m giving you 6 specific ways to get people to hang out on your website longer.    No tricks! Just honest ways to make your website BETTER so that people want to stay around and come back for more.

Sujan Patel is a veteran marketer and entrepreneur who has effectively used email to grow multiple businesses, which include three sales and marketing tools specifically focused on email. In this episode, he shares helpful tips for cold email outreach, how he has grown his own email newsletter that has over 50,000 subscribers, and his view of how to balance value-based content with promotional offers. Key Points From This Episode:Sujan's three companies are all focused on email. You'd build the list on Voila Norbert and you'd send it through Mailshake and you'd probably continue with the conversations with Right Inbox.Cold email outreach should be brief, clear, and really think about how your email will solve the reader's problems. Be unique with your email newsletter, find your own angle, and focus on the value or entertainment you can offer. Subscribe to the newsletters of top companies and see what they are doing and implement the practices that you like and feel are successful. Send an email when you have something relevant to say. The value to ask ratio should be the value you provide versus something you're taking or asking of needs to be the value needs to be significantly greater. The greater the value ratio to what you're doing, then the better the results you're going to have. Tweetables:"My biggest pet peeve is when people forget that when you have a real-life conversation with somebody, that's pretty much the bar for what you should be having all the other forms of communication be like." @SujanPatel (00:01)"Use everything people are doing successfully in your space or the successful people are doing in your space as inspiration, but be unique, figure out what you can do those others cannot." @SujanPatel (05:49)"Send an email when you have something to say, but also make sure you have something to say enough to be top of mind or relevant." @SujanPatel (12:44)Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Sujan Patel on LinkedInSujan Patel on TwitterMailshakeRight InboxVoila NorbertSlackZendeskBillShopifyScott GallowayMorning BrewThe HustleWall Street Breakfastrasa.io

If you have ever considered working with a coach only to have your mind flooded with reasons why you should not, you are not alone! It is natural to have these thoughts because our brains are hard-wired to protect us. We can choose to act on these beliefs – which will only hold us back – or we can acknowledge them, let them go, and take action anyway. Getting out of your own way is not easy, which is why having a coach can help tremendously. Lindsey Mango once again joins Chris, where they unpack the most common limiting beliefs that hold people back from working with a coach. We hear more about the fear of not seeing results, thinking you do not have enough money, spousal objections, and believing you are too busy. All of these beliefs are incredibly common and you should not beat yourself up for having them. It is about seeing what they can teach you about pushing yourself and the importance of investing in your most important asset – your mindset. Remember, the thoughts you have go with you into everything you do, which is why coaching is never going to be a waste. We can only go so far on our own, so do not hesitate to get the help you need. Even Michael Jordan had a coach, so there is no reason you shouldn’t. To hear more about how to squash those doubts and get a coach, tune in today!Key Points From This Episode:A quick overview of the four recurring limiting beliefs Chris and Lindsey see.The biggest objection to coaching: People are afraid they will not see results.Our brains are hardwired into protecting us from failure, but this can stop us from trying.The importance of empowering your own mind (and body) to achieve true happiness.It is not about not being afraid; it is about not letting fear stop you from taking action.Why you should not let money hold you back from investing in coaching.If money is holding you back from coaching, what else is it holding you back from?There is no greater asset than your mindset, so invest in it as much as you can!Some of the reasons that we might get held back by our spouse’s objections.How Chris and Lindsey have worked through their different risk tolerances.What Chris and Lindsey would say to a potential client with a spending limit.Why – despite what you tell yourself – you are not too busy for coaching.It is not a problem at all if you need a coach to help you get out of your own way.No-one can achieve big without outside help.Where to find Lindsey online and what she has going on at the moment.Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Lindsey MangoLindsey Mango Coaching on InstagramAnything But AverageThe ONE ThingMichael JordanAdam HergenrotherGoodman CoachingChris Goodman

In today’s episode, host Sarah Southwell speaks about COVID-19 and wades into waters that are so thick that they’re more like boiling tar pits. A key theme that’s raised early in our discussion, Sarah highlights the importance of trusting your intuition and making up your mind on what you should be doing about the pandemic. Accordingly, we talk about the need to have conversations with our loved ones about what makes us feel safe. Sarah also recommends that we develop a strict set of parameters for feeling safe — parameters that we should embrace so that we don’t live in a state of fear. After sharing why she has developed a distrust for the government, Sarah points to government practices that are harmful to our health. Wading even further into the tar pits, Sarah questions whether the government has our best interests at heart before exploring what they could be doing to keep us healthy. We then reflect on the mental health dangers of social isolation and what the pandemic is costing us. Near the end of the episode, Sarah emphasizes her mission to empower people. As she explains, it’s up to us to decide how we want to handle COVID-19. Tune in to hear more of Sarah’s insights into managing your health and home during the COVID-19 crisis.Key Points From This Episode:Sarah reflects on the importance of making decisions based on your intuition.Why we need to start asking ourselves tough questions about COVID-19.Finding our levels of comfort and safety when seeing people during the pandemic.

Sophie is dishing out hard-to-hear relationship advice today, so buckle up. To the modern listener, her ideas might be antiquated, but wait until she argues the hell out of the popular advice we are given in progressive women’s magazines. Basically, her point is this: If he treats you like a plaything, fails to call you, does not open the car door or pull out your chair, girl, he is not that into you (or at least not in the way that you had hoped). Women want to be courted and chased (gasp!) and men should be allowed to step up to the plate and fight for them. And while Sophie is aware that her inbox might soon be flooded with messages from people accusing her of anti-feminism, she comes at it from the perspective of compassion, personal experience, and what she has seen happen with her girlfriends over and over again. Whether we like it or not, when something or someone is too accessible, we lose interest, whether it be in work, life, or dating. A man needs to see just how different you are from the other girls who chat him up and get the check on the first date – you want to show him that you value yourself and will not settle for a booty-call every second Tuesday. In this episode, Sophie and Venita also get candid about the over-sexualization of Black, especially curvy, women, explaining how they are primarily portrayed as the wild, exotic seductresses rather than the girl-next-door who the guy ends up marrying. Listeners will hear their take on sharing the details of your relationship with your girlfriends, what you can do to fix a toxic relationship (spoiler alert, nothing!), and why you might want to call up a therapist when working through a break-up. Key Points From This Episode: How the problematic portrayal of Black women in the media impact men’s perceptions. Sophie shares some of the derogatory messages she has received on dating apps. How the deep-rooted issue of oversexualizing Black women started with the slave masters. Thoughts on how the hip-hop and rap cultures might be perpetuating these narratives. What Sonic the Hedgehog reveals about society’s changing perceptions of Black women. The idea that curvy Black women are more readily subjected to over-sexualization. Venita talks about the insecurities she had because she doesn’t look like a ‘normal’ Black woman. Suggestions for how you can deal with a man who reveals his intentions to simply use you. The importance of knowing your boundaries when it comes to dating and life in general. Why it is okay to cut someone off after the first time they do something that offends you. Sophie makes a case for why – despite the modern world – men should pay for the first date. Advice about initiating texts, first-date sex, and letting a man open doors and pull out chairs. Communication: the first clue about whether a guy is into you or weighing up his options. How, when women do everything for a man, it impacts the dynamic of the relationship.Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Sonic the HedgehogSex and the CityHe’s Just Not That Into You Maya Angelou Venita AspenVenita Aspen on InstagramSophie GoldSophie Gold on Instagram

Down to the very weird, basic, physical elements, you can use all of them to influence people.” — @uhfelix [0:14:54] “Affordance is this concept of how does the design communicate its use to the user? In games, it’s very important because in the virtual world anything is possible. You want to be able to really limit the space of possibility within the player's mind, or else they'll be stuck. They’ll be at a loss as to what to do to progress, or move forward, or to accomplish goals.” — @uhfelix [0:17:57] “If you have a lot of focus on player experience, then that would lead you to integrate more player feedback into that process.” — @uhfelix [0:25:11] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: - Felix Park on Twitter (https://twitter.com/uhfelix) - Felix Park (http://www.felixpark.com/) - The Design of Everyday Things (https://www.amazon.com/Design-Everyday-Things-Revised-Expanded/dp/0465050654) - Enjoy the Vue on Twitter (https://twitter.com/enjoythevuecast?lang=en) - Enjoy the Vue (https://enjoythevue.io/) Special Guests: Felix Park and Ringo Kim.

I'm back!!! I'm jumping back in the swing of things after having my son almost 3 weeks ago. This was an impromptu episode that I felt compelled to share. Weight and overeating are not the "real" problems...but they feel like the biggest problems in your life. I challenge you to think differently. They are the symptoms of something bigger. They are the symptoms of you not liking yourself or not having an unconditional loving relationship with yourself. Losing 20 lbs for the sake of just losing 20 lbs isn't going to transform your life. I don't teach food rules or what to eat. Irresistible You is not a diet or a weight loss program. It's so much more than that. It's about changing your life - without another BS fad diet.

The path to life as a professional athlete is narrow and difficult, and also one that can be easily misunderstood. Logan Gelbrich is intimately aware of this journey, having made it himself, and then veered from the original course he had projected. Logan is the Co-Founder of DEUCE, a wildly popular gym that does things a little differently. He is on the show today to talk about the roots of this project, his life on the way to becoming a baseball pro, and what led to him leaving the sport. These days Logan is a coach, an internationally-renowned speaker, and a great potential inspiration for anyone in the pursuit of their dreams. It was only after pivoting out of a career in baseball that Logan realized his true calling, which was more about pushing himself and progressing in whatever arena he found himself than about a particular sport. Through DEUCE, Logan and his team have created a training environment where everyone is treated as an athlete and is aided in raising their standards to the highest possible level. Logan explains the seeds of the 'hold the standard' idea, a philosophy that has grown into a movement that Logan has taken around the world! We also hear about Logan's book, Going Right, some of the more magical and important moments in his winding journey, and the relationships that shepherded his progress.

In this episode, Florence (my soul-sister) and I have an in-depth conversation about nature-healing and nature-therapy. We talk about how nature affects our brains and our body. For instance, a brain study found that our prefrontal cortex will deactivate during a walk in nature. At the end of the walk, people will have fewer negative thoughts. It's one of the reasons why nature-therapy is so powerful. Tune in as we talk about the benefits of meditation and the inspiration behind Florence's book, The Nature Fix.

Toxins can disrupt the endocrine system, creating hormone imbalances and a multitude of persistent issues for us in the long term. In this episode, Dr. Minni runs through a number of the common groups of toxins that we are exposed to and talks about where they are often found. Following that, some simple practices for better elimination are considered, from diet and water intake to avoiding dairy and getting better sleep. These measures are guaranteed to give your system a boost, so make sure to listen in with us today!Key Points From This Episode:The toxins that surround us from the time we are born and accumulate during our lives. Digestion's role in the elimination of toxins — a few different ways this occurs.The ubiquity of obesogenic Bisphenol A (BPA) in bottles, cans, and papers.Phthalate compounds used in the production of plastics, care and cleaning products, and more!The industrial production and usage of dioxin and its harmful effects on multiple areas of health.

We can all collectively exhale now that the 2020 presidential election results are in. For the past few weeks leading up to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s victory, people around the world have been watching in anticipation and we Americans have sat on the edge of our sofas, waiting to hear who the 46th President of the United States will be. Such times are exhausting and coming out of them with your sanity intact takes a great deal of resilience and inner peace. But how do you center yourself and find stillness amid such chaotic moments, when a pandemic endures and civil unrest becomes the order of the day when your social media feed is littered with hatred and fake news? In this episode, Sophie and Venita discuss how they managed to navigate the recent uncertainty, getting into both the helpful things and those that only served to deepen their existing anxieties. Because while this election is over, life is guaranteed to throw other curve balls our way and to challenge us yet again with the reality of uncertainty. Whether, like Sophie, you choose to avoid engaging in things that constantly remind you of your predicament or, like Venita, you turn on all your notifications and have your TV on 24/7 just in case you miss something, we all long for solid ground to stand on when the world feels shaky. Tuning in today, you will not only leave with advice for protecting your mental health in times of uncertainty but find pearls of wisdom about being a kinder human being and respecting everybody, regardless of who they are. Key Points From This Episode: The nail-biting experience of waiting for the final election results to be announced. Sophie shares why uncertainty is difficult and talking about it not always helpful. Suggestions for activities that keep you grounded and centered amid the chaos. The importance of spreading kindness and respect – not hatred – in times of uncertainty. Keeping in mind that everyone, regardless of their political affiliation, is a human being. Venita makes a point about the distinction between a Republican and a Trump Republican.The problem that our society no longer allows people to have open and honest dialog. Why Sophie deliberately avoided the news, social media, and political conversations. The mistake of focusing too heavily on the Trump negatives rather than the Biden positives. The need to do thorough research about the policies you and those you elect stand for. Sophie explains why local media have far more credibility than mainstream news networks. Closing thoughts on why this is the time for us to leave behind the hate and disunity for good.

Tweetables: - “Take the time to invest in your learning. If you are a new manager, take manager training. A lot of companies don't offer it, a lot of companies do. Try to get your company to pay for a formal training. Read books. Find a mentor. You're going to need peer mentors, people that have been doing this job for longer than you within your company. It's also really good to get outside perspective, so you know you're not echo chambering bad management cultures.” — @nomadtechie [0:06:39] - “Unfortunately, if you're a great manager, people may in fact leave faster, because you're going to develop them, and the market is going to scoop them up. You may not have those feedback cycles where, when they leave, they would say that you've been a great manager. But maybe not. Silence might in fact be profound positive feedback, you're being a great manager.” — David Ashe [0:18:17] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: - David Ashe on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmashe/) - David Ashe Email (mailto:davidashe@hey.com) - David Ashe on GitHub (https://github.com/davidmashe) - Amaal Hussein on Twitter (https://twitter.com/nomadtechie) - Amal Hussein Email (mailto:Amal.hussein@hey.com) - Ben Hong Email (mailto:Bencodezen@hey.com) - Square Software Engineering Career Ladder (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12h50IYqd7fsO7tJ0l1OuHYbz5vN2d24a8EIDFhu2AZQ/edit#gid=2035430096) - TINYPulse (https://www.tinypulse.com/) - I May Destroy You (https://www.hbo.com/i-may-destroy-you) - Lovecraft Country (https://www.hbo.com/lovecraft-country) - Freak Show (https://www.netflix.com/title/80225018#:~:text=2018TV-MA%201h%2030m,Watch%20all%20you%20want.) - Malinda Herman on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKz15eIpSAvQmy-ZttXPyog) - Mike and Matty on YouTube (https://youtu.be/EMT5k4qJZGU) - Hey (https://hey.com/) - Dating Around (https://www.netflix.com/title/80204889) - Nonviolent Communication (https://www.amazon.com/Nonviolent-Communication-Language-Marshall-Rosenberg/dp/1892005034) - Difficult Conversations (https://www.amazon.com/Difficult-Conversations-Discuss-What-Matters/dp/0143118447) - Hades (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145360/Hades/) - Enjoy the Vue on Twitter (https://twitter.com/enjoythevuecast?lang=en) - Enjoy the Vue (https://enjoythevue.io/) Special Guests: Amal Hussein and David Ashe.

Weight loss is not about reaching a goal weight...that's what you've been conditioned to believe. Thanks, diet culture. The hard truth is that chasing a goal weight and a deadline are exactly what's keeping you stuck on the yo-yo diet/body hate shame cycle. What is weighing a specific number really gonna for you? How is that supposed to magically cure all of your problems? Is a number going to give you automatic happiness?News Flash: It won't. I know that from experience. Reaching goal weight for the sake of saying you weigh 150 lbs (example) is not going to cure your anxiety, your money problems, your shitty relationship, your lack of confidence, your fat girl mindset, or your anxiety and fear around food.

This week https://www.beforethemillions.com/episode174 (on the podcast), I interviewed a real estate investor/financial coach Todd Miller, who has spent the past 11 years building up his passive income portfolio to quit his job. His strategy was straightforward and not at all different from the plans many of us make to leave our soul sucking day job. You know... Budget, save, invest and retire early on the beach somewhere. If only it were that simple. See we can know the steps but not understand them. We can understand the steps but not implement them. We can implement them but not succeed. There are numerous areas in which we can fall short of the ever elusive financial freedom that we desire. But if you've known me for any stretch of time, you are aware that I've made it my mission to help all of us better succeed. Rather than claiming life changing results in a single episode, we wanted to help you with the baby steps for budgeting, saving and investing in hopes that these small actions will have massive results for you later down the line. This is a good one!
