Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa is making headlines yet again, with recent days marking a clear shift from teen phenom to young adult pop culture force. The biggest story is her whirlwind romance with British reality star Chris Hughes, which just moved from speculation to fully public status. The two first met as contestants on Celebrity Big Brother UK earlier this year, triggering immediate rumors. After months of denying any connection beyond friendship, Siwa finally confirmed in an interview with The Guardian on June 2 that she and Hughes are officially together, calling their relationship “a beautiful development” and gushing that she is “head over heels” for him. The public has since seen a steady stream of affectionate posts and vacation snaps, most notably from their cozy trip to the English countryside where they went horseback riding and Siwa joked about finally overcoming her long-standing horse phobia. According to People, she captioned these photos with “nothing beats wholesome & pure days like these,” signaling a softer, more intimate side of her highly curated public persona.The pair also made a splash with PDA-filled appearances, most notably their red carpet debut at Dancers Against Cancer's 2025 Gala of the Stars in October, proving the relationship has legs in both tabloid and mainstream entertainment coverage according to AOL and Parade.Siwa hasn't just been making romantic news. With Pride Month 2025 underway, she's been visible as a queer advocate, sharing an impactful message on Instagram to her 11.3 million followers. She emphasized the beauty of “love, acceptance, and celebration” and clapped back at ongoing critics of her sexuality, stating that “people saying my sexuality is fake is actually crazy and a discredit to my life,” as reported by Us Weekly. This follows her public discussion earlier in the year during Celebrity Big Brother UK, where she described embracing a broader queer identity and expressed frustration with being put in a box.On the business and tour front, Siwa continues to capitalize on her brand power. Bandsintown lists active merchandise lines and recent international performances, with a high-profile Melbourne show in late November buzzing on social media. Recent analytics show her Instagram account maintains significant reach—over 11 million followers, though engagement rates are only average for her category, according to HypeAuditor. Her net worth, last widely confirmed at $20 million, is primarily built on her music, dance, and merchandise deals, as detailed by Henry & Beaver.In summary, JoJo Siwa's last few days are defined by a new adult romance going public, influential LGBTQIA+ advocacy, a steady business hustle, and visible social media engagement. All these are underscored by a commitment to living life on her own terms—with the headlines, hashtags, and heart emojis to prove it.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Sales strategist, author and unapologetic change-maker Aleasha Bahr — founder of the Black Sheep Sales Method™ — explores with me what it means to live authentically in a rapidly shifting landscape of artificial intelligence, automation and “everyone does it like this” narratives.From her own journey of standing out (or being the “black sheep”) in a world obsessed with fitting in, Aleasha shares how leaning into what's different, what's yours and what's real becomes a strength, especially now, in a time where so much feels blurry, digital and detached.We'll dig into:Why being the black sheep isn't a liability — but a signal that you bring a unique perspective that the world needs. As Aleasha puts it: “You either look different, think different or have a different perspective … and that makes most people uncomfortable.” How authenticity works in sales, business and life — when so much of the world's output is automated, templated or “optimized” for everyone, instead of “you.” Aleasha's tagline: no numbers games, no cold outreach tricks. The intersection of the black-sheep mindset with the rise of AI: the blurry world of machine-learning, automation and digital voices. We ask: how do you stay human, stay you, stay off-script — even when the machine says “optimize this”?Please Give A Review If you like the show, it'd be awesome if you could take 10 seconds and leave a review on Apple Podcasts (click here to leave a review) Connect With Stephen Visit our website at www.lifebuilder.co Connect with me on LinkedIN Get the show and additional episodes on YouTube About the Podcast If working a 9-5 for 60 years so you can retire with a little money and die a few years later is what you want to do, then this is not the podcast for you.

In this episode, Zach and I discuss how spending time with God shapes the way we show up for people, the need to live authentically rather than chasing what's popular, and trusting in God's goodness.Quotes for Notes:“I have to be alone with God so I can be together with people.”“So many times, times where I get stuck, it is because I am trying to be somebody different. The times where I get caught up, the times where I feel a blockage, it's because I've turned into somebody who I was never called to be.”“His goodness is not defined by the world's evil.”Links:“The Circle Maker” by Mark Batterson: https://www.christianbook.com/the-circle-maker-mark-batterson/9780310346913/pd/346913?en=google&event=SHOP&kw=christian-living-0-20%7C346913&p=1179710&utm_source=google&p=1237749&dv=c&cb_src=google&cb_typ=shopping&cb_cmp=21328467087&cb_adg=167503012527&cb_kyw=&utm_medium=shopping&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21328467087&gbraid=0AAAAAD_dTHauHNbi_ru0U6ci_-8XmLwop&gclid=CjwKCAjwr8LHBhBKEiwAy47uUnCWOqnlmG1Gi-8dMmNlNAqGD93Fgm5EjQ1TP9u4TuzXBEmMBqYSoxoCDhwQAvD_BwE“Our Awesome Lord” by Frank Tunstall: https://www.amazon.com/Our-Awesome-Lord-Captivating-Pentecostal/dp/1599796090

What if one moment shattered everything you thought your life would be? For Kathy Fettke, that moment came when her husband was suddenly diagnosed with melanoma - and doctors told them he might only have six months to live. Two little kids. A mortgage they could barely keep up with. No plan B. But instead of breaking, Kathy turned that fear into fuel. She used her tiny weekend radio show to start interviewing successful people, desperate to learn how they built real, lasting wealth. What she discovered changed everything - and set her on a path to financial freedom, purpose, and impact. Today, Kathy is the Co-Founder and CEO of Real Wealth, helping thousands of families create passive income and true financial independence through real estate. In this raw and powerful conversation, we talk about the mindset it takes to rebuild when life falls apart, the truth about money and fear, and why living unapologetically might just be the most radical thing you can do. It's not just a story about real estate. It's a story about resilience, faith, and finding freedom on the other side of fear.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and founder of Pause Breathwork, Samantha Skelly, for a deeply honest and soulful conversation about evolution, alignment, and faith in both life and business. Samantha shares how her journey as an entrepreneur has transformed into a spiritual assignment—one rooted in artistry, service, and surrender. We talk about what it means to evolve past old versions of success, let go of what no longer feels aligned, and allow business to become a living, breathing expression of who you truly are. We also dive into the importance of slowing down, receiving support, and making peace with change. Samantha opens up about the role faith and prayer have played in her life, her return to her Christian roots, and how she's learned to invite God into her business decisions. This episode is an inspiring reminder that your evolution is sacred, your alignment is your greatest strategy, and peace comes when you finally trust that you are exactly where you're meant to be.

And so no matter if it's relationships, business, what have you, if there's something that just keeps being that spiritual sandpaper for you, you've gotta really ask yourself like, what am I tolerating here? And just simply put, raise the standard.” - Julie Solomon  “  I couldn't see a pathway of it being something else. And I think I had an ego layering on that because my ego was like, “well, surely we can't simplify because then the revenue will drop, and if the revenue drops, then we're not gonna continually grow. And what's that gonna do?” So I had to love fiercely, the part of me that was trying to take over by telling me to keep scaling and what I mean by that is like, not destroy it, not cut it off, not badmouth it, but just love the little girl inside of me that's like, “I wanna keep growing. What if I don't? Who am I gonna upset?” - Samantha Skelly  RESOURCES:

Send us a textWhat version of yourself do you bring to work? To family gatherings? To your closest relationships? For many of us, these questions reveal uncomfortable truths about the different masks we wear throughout our lives.We don't put on these masks with malicious intent. They emerge from our deepest fears—fear of rejection, fear of inadequacy, fear that our authentic selves simply won't be enough. But what begins as self-protection gradually transforms into self-imprisonment. The exhaustion of juggling different personas, remembering which version of yourself you've shown to whom, and constantly monitoring your own behavior creates a crushing weight that few can sustain.The most revealing insight comes when we examine what bothers us in others. That colleague whose arrogance drives you crazy? That friend whose neediness feels suffocating? These triggers often reflect disowned aspects of ourselves—mirrors we'd rather not look into. Taking personal responsibility means asking the harder question: "What's my part in this dynamic?" The reflection may be uncomfortable, but it's where true growth begins.Freedom arrives when we commit to authenticity. One face. One truth. Just you. People intuitively sense incongruence between what you say and who you truly are, even if they can't articulate exactly what feels "off." Consistency builds trust far more effectively than perfection ever could. This week, try having just one honest conversation—with your spouse, your boss, or perhaps most importantly, with yourself. Take off just one mask and notice how much easier it becomes to breathe.

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer and co-host Mike explore the difference between spirituality and organized religion and what it truly means to nurture your spirit. Together, they revisit the timeless teachings of Jesus, focusing on his central message of love, compassion, and self-discovery — a message that's often been overshadowed by societal control, rigid traditions, and centuries of interpretation. We'll discuss: • Why spirituality is about personal connection rather than institutional rules. • The two greatest commandments Jesus taught and why they free us from fear. • Insights from alternative gospels like Thomas and Mary Magdalene that emphasize the divine spark within. • How to embrace mindfulness, self-validation, and inner freedom in your daily life. Jim challenges us to see the divine within ourselves and others, and to choose kindness, forgiveness, and mindful living as a way of nurturing that spark.

Send us a textWhat happens when your entire identity is built around being the 'nice guy' who never rocks the boat? Harrison Saunders, host of the Growth Voyage podcast, knows this territory all too well. In this raw, illuminating conversation, Harrison reveals how a devastating wake-up call at age 19 began his journey away from people-pleasing and toward authentic living.Behind the nice guy mask often lies deep-seated shame, frustration, and a profound disconnection from one's true self. Harrison unpacks how childhood experiences—particularly his parents' divorce when he was six—shaped his people-pleasing tendencies and desperate need for external validation. "I wasn't voicing my annoyances," he explains. "I would shove it down, build resentment, and what happens with resentment is that it never leaves your body."The turning point came when Harrison recognized himself as the common denominator in his recurring relationship patterns. This crucial realization shifted him from victim mentality to creator consciousness—a transformation that changed everything. Through disciplines like Thai boxing, pro wrestling, and consistent self-development, Harrison gradually built genuine self-confidence rather than the facade he'd previously maintained.Most powerfully, Harrison shares practical strategies for breaking free from nice guy syndrome: testing boundaries in low-stakes situations, surrounding yourself with people who "call you forward," and reconnecting with your authentic self beneath the layers of conditioning. The reward? Genuine relationships, clear purpose, and the freedom of being loved for who you truly are.Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing tendencies or simply want to live more authentically, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable wisdom. As Harrison puts it: "When you become proud of the person you've become, you stop looking for external approval."Support the show

Hey yall! In this episode, I'm getting real about the pressures we face as women to hit certain milestones by a certain age, getting married, having kids, “settling down”, and how exhausting it is to feel like you're running against a clock. I talk about why life doesn't magically end at 25, why being single can actually be the most empowering time of your life, and why rushing into relationships or marriage just to “keep up” will never make you happy.I also get into the way social media fuels comparison, how people project their own insecurities onto you, and why it's so important to block out the noise so you can actually enjoy where you're at right now. We touch on the realities of parenthood (and why it's not something to take lightly), breaking free from outdated timelines, and fully embracing your individuality.Bottom line: stop letting society convince you you're behind, you're not!!

In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast (the finale for Season 4!) Kate sits down with Albert Bramante — talent agent, psychologist, and author — to explore why so many creatives hold themselves back, how to reframe rejection, why fear isn't the enemy, and how to trust yourself enough to rewrite your own script.From Kate: Today I'm bringing you a conversation that feels especially alive and needed right now. I sat down with Albert Bramante — a rare soul who bridges the world of psychology and the performing arts. For over two decades he's walked alongside actors, dancers, and other artists as both a talent agent and a guide through the invisible terrain of mindset, fear, self-doubt, and that sneaky self-sabotage we all bump up against when we dare to put our true selves out in the world.In this conversation, Albert opens up about how rejection isn't really rejection, how fear can be a strange protector, and how staying open to the unknown — in our art, our work, our relationships — can free us to live bigger, truer lives.I hope as you listen you feel a soft invitation to loosen your own grip a little, to see where you might be clinging too tightly to other people's scripts for you — and maybe, just maybe, to let yourself play again.Highlights:Why rejection is rarely personalHow our childhood shapes creative courageWhat fear of success really meansThe power of playing instead of performingReal stories about people pleasing, burnout, and letting go

Today we're diving into a topic that's sometimes tricky to navigate as parents: consent. My guest for this conversation is educator and consent expert Sarah Casper, founder of Comprehensive Consent and author of The Kids and Consent Curriculum. Sarah has taught thousands of children, teens, and adults how to build healthy, respectful, and joyful relationships through a social-emotional lens. Her approach is as thoughtful as it is practical. In this conversation, Sarah and I explored how consent starts early, with the little, everyday interactions that help kids understand their boundaries, express their wants and needs, and learn to respect others wants and needs. We talked about the challenges of balancing safety with autonomy, especially when it comes to things like hygiene, personal space, and social expectations, and why this balance is nuanced when parenting neurodivergent children. Sarah also shared some real-world strategies for introducing consent language at home, navigating pushback, and supporting kids in building self-awareness and self-esteem. If you've ever wondered how to model boundaries while still honoring your child's agency, I know you will find this episode valuable. And hopefully you'll feel inspired to do the activity Sarah shared at the end of the episode with your family because it's a great way to evaluate how choices are being made at home and it will help you understand each other a little better.  About Sarah Casper Sarah Casper is an educator, author of The Kids and Consent Curriculum, and the founder of Comprehensive Consent, a social-emotional learning approach to equipping young people with the knowledge and skills necessary for healthy, respectful, and joyful relationships. Through her in-school workshops, online classes, and social media content, Sarah has helped thousands of kids, adolescents, and adults deepen their consent practices.  Things you'll learn from this episode Consent begins in childhood through small, everyday practices that honor bodily autonomy, encourage agency, and invite mutual respect Teaching consent means offering choices, being honest about our intentions, and recognizing when to pivot based on our child's cues Healthy relationships are rooted in collaboration, not control, and thrive when power dynamics are acknowledged Navigating consent with kids involves balancing their safety with their right to say no, especially in situations involving hygiene, touch, or personal space Supporting a child's self-regulation and practicing our own helps reduce resentment, foster trust, and model respectful boundary-setting Neurodivergent kids may need extra support in understanding and expressing consent, which makes child-led play and behavior-based communication all the more important  Resources mentioned Comprehensive Consent (Sarah's website) The Kids & Consent Curriculum: 25 Whole-Classroom Lessons to Teach Boundaries, Collaboration, and Respect by Sarah Casper Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent Unmasking for Life: The Autistic Person's Guide to Connecting, Loving, and Living Authentically by Dr. Devon Price Dr. Devon Price on the Autistic Person's Guide to Unmasking for Life (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Akilah Richards on Raising Free People (Tilt Parenting Podcast) The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives by Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation―And Making Your Own Life Easier by Dr. David Yeager Learn more about your ad choices.
