Send us a textWhat if the system meant to protect you was actually making things worse?This episode is a raw, honest, and empowering conversation about financial abuse, legal warfare, and what it takes to take back your power.We're sitting down with Lisa Johnson, the co-founder of Been There Got Out, a high conflict divorce strategist and certified domestic violence advocate who has successfully represented herself through scores of court appearances. Her case, published in the Connecticut Law Journal, is being used as legal precedent. Her live testimony helped pass Jennifers' Law in Connecticut, the third state in America to expand its legal definition of domestic violence to include “coercive control.” Lisa's story? Buckle up. It's part legal thriller, part comeback story, and ALL heart. She spent 7.5 years representing herself, went to court almost 100 times, fought off a $4M lawsuit, got her case published in the Connecticut Law Journal, and even helped pass Jennifer's Law, which expanded the legal definition of domestic violence to include coercive control.00:00 A Legal Nightmare Begins00:57 Lisa Johnson's Journey02:48 The Long Battle: Self-Representation in Court07:32 Legal Abuse: Understanding the Tactics16:40 Finding Support and Staying Grounded32:39 Financial Freedom and EmpowermentThis one's for any woman who's felt overwhelmed by the legal system, ignored by the courts, or unsure where to even begin.

Discover the counterintuitive first draft editing approach that transforms messy manuscripts into page-turning novels readers love.Most fiction writers struggle with novel revision because they jump straight into editing their manuscript after finishing their first draft. This approach leads to endless rewrites, overwhelming confusion, and stories that get stuck in endless Chapter 1 revisions, never reaching completion.Developmental editor Alice Sudlow joins me to share her systematic approach to story editing, which helps writers overcome these revision challenges.Her revision framework eliminates the guesswork from the editing process, so writers avoid common mistakes that can keep manuscripts stuck in development.Here's what we cover:[08:11] Why taking a 4-week break after finishing your first draft gives your mind the mental shift needed for effective manuscript revision.[10:26] How to create an outline of your completed draft without making changes, yet (the crucial step that reveals your story's true structure.)[14:38] The fundamental questions that uncover the hidden keys in your story and transform good ideas into compelling narratives that readers can't put down.[17:46] Why developmental editing is where the real magic happens in fiction writing and how to fall in love with the revision process.[38:01] How to escape the endless rewriting cycle that traps writers in Chapter 1 forever and finally complete your novel revisions.Whether you're a first-time novelist struggling with how to edit your manuscript or an experienced writer looking for a better revision strategy, this episode provides the framework you need to turn your draft into a story that agents and readers will love.Tune in now.⭐ Follow & ReviewIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow the show and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

Do you ever feel stuck in the middle of family drama while trying to make the "right" decision? Maybe you've been asked to take sides in a family feud or you want to help someone but you're afraid you might enable their poor choices. These kinds of dilemmas can leave you feeling stressed out and anxious--unless you have a strategy for dealing with family drama. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Bobby Parmar, professor at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business and author of Radical Doubt. Dr. Parmar is an expert in decision-making, ethics, and navigating uncertainty. Together, we tackle common real-life family dilemmas that I often hear about in my therapy office and explore how to make the best decisions. Some of the things we talk about are: How to reframe family feuds so you're not stuck choosing sides Why your character doesn't determine your decisions (and what does) The surprising link between uncertainty and mental strength How to set boundaries without feeling guilty or selfish What to do when you know information you wish you didn't How to handle family drama, like wedding conflicts or sibling rivalries Why your gut instinct might not always be the best guide (and how to use it wisely) How to make decisions when you're caught between your values and relationships The key to avoiding regret when making tough choices Why small, actionable steps are the secret to solving big problems Links & Resources Radical Doubt University of Virginia Faculty Page Connect with the Show Buy a copy of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Amy on Instagram — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AmyMorinAuthor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Visit my website — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AmyMorinLCSW.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sponsors Lola Blankets — Get 35% off your entire order at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lolablankets.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ by using code STRONGER at checkout.

Today, we'll talk about the non-negotiables—the skills that go beyond textbooks. From faith to character, problem-solving to kindness, these are the things that shape our children's hearts and prepare them for real life. Because at the end of the day, success isn't just about grades—it's about growing wise, capable, and compassionate human.

As school routines settle back in, many moms start looking for a better rhythm with meals—something that feels less chaotic and more doable.   But for many moms (myself included), feeding a family brings up more stress than we'd like to admit. We put so much pressure on ourselves to do it “right,” and when our kids complain or the fridge is empty or we're too tired to cook, it's easy to feel like we're failing. And if you're dealing with a picky eater (or a few!), that stress can multiply quickly. If that's you, I really want you to hear this week's conversation with my friend and SAM Sister, Celeste Noland. She's a mom of five with a deeply grounded and grace-filled approach to family meals—and I think her ideas will bring you both relief and fresh energy. In this episode, you'll hear:

If your witching hour feels like a daily emotional ambush—when the stress, noise, and cravings all collide—you are not alone. That 4 or 5PM pull toward wine or alcohol isn't just a bad habit… it's a wired-in loop your brain has learned over years. And breaking it takes more than willpower. In this episode of Addiction Unlimited, we're diving deep into why 5PM is such a trigger—and how to interrupt the craving cycle before it takes over. Angela unpacks what's really happening when that evening craving hits, from decision fatigue to emotional overload to the brain's need for relief. This isn't about being broken—it's about building a new system that supports you when your brain and body are done. What You'll Learn: Why your brain cues up cravings before you even leave work The truth about decision fatigue and emotional depletion How to use the “Interrupt Ritual” to break autopilot The 5PM Flip: Replacing your reward without punishment How to identify emotions using H.A.L.T. and stop numbing with alcohol What neuroplasticity means—and why small shifts change everything Angela also shares a powerful story from her early sobriety behind the bar, proving that the craving loop can be broken—even when it's deeply ingrained. This episode is a real-world, neuroscience-backed guide to help you stop surviving your evenings—and start leading them with intention and power. Links Mentioned in This Episode:

Back to school season hits every August and September like a freight train. New schedules, earlier wake-ups, lunch packing, school supplies... suddenly you're drowning in chaos before you've even figured out what works.Most parents take one of two approaches: either wing it completely or try to map out every detail before school starts. Both are recipes for disaster. There's a better way that doesn't involve losing your sanity or creating impossible expectations.In this episode, I'm sharing the two specific strategies I use every single back to school season (and why the order matters). These aren't complicated systems or overwhelming checklists. They're simple, strategic approaches that help you create sustainable routines while staying calm during those crucial first two weeks.In This Episode, I'll Cover:The biggest mistake parents make in those first two weeks of schoolWhy most back to school routines fail before they even startMy secret weapon for staying calm during the morning chaosHow to collect the right data to set yourself up for success all yearSimple tweaks that make the difference between surviving and thrivingJOIN THE PLAN-A-PALOOZA ANNUAL PLANNING WORKSHOP The #1 Planning Event for Women, That Works for REAL Life!Live October 15 & 16, 2025Business Owners can add Oct 17Create Your Roadmap for 2026...

Send us a textEver feel like the world's chaos is threatening to overwhelm you? You're not alone. In this heartfelt conversation with Ed Garrity, who has spent three decades helping people navigate life's transitions, we explore what it truly means to find clarity and confidence amid uncertainty.The constant pull between past regrets and future anxieties leaves many of us struggling to stay present—exactly where our power lies. "We try to control things we actually don't have control over," Ed shares from his own experience supporting aging parents while running a business and raising a family. This juggling act taught him the essential practice of returning to the present moment through breath awareness, nature connection, and daily gratitude.What struck me most in our conversation was Ed's insight about isolation versus connection. When facing difficulties, many of us retreat inward instead of reaching out—a pattern that begins in adolescence but follows us throughout life. "One of the most courageous things you can do is ask for help, even if you don't know what that help is," he recalls a high school student telling him. This vulnerability requires more strength than going it alone, especially for men conditioned to "power through" challenges.We also explore how celebrating progress rather than fixating solely on outcomes builds sustainable confidence. Ed admits, "One of the biggest mistakes I've made is getting so focused on the result that I forget to celebrate the effort along the way." This perfectionistic trap robs us of present joy while undermining our resilience.Perhaps most powerfully, Ed reminds us that when uncertainty looms, curiosity serves us better than scrambling for passion. "It's not passion first, it's curiosity first," he explains. This openness to exploration creates the space where inspiration naturally emerges, allowing us to take positive risks rather than playing it safe.Ready to transform your relationship with change? Listen now, and discover how to navigate life's transitions with the clarity, confidence, and purpose you deserve. Your future self will thank you for the peace you cultivate today.Connect with Ed here : www.edgerety.comSupport the show

They're surviving on duct-taped plans and sheer grit, not thriving on purpose.   I've been there. For years, my “weekly plan” looked like a frenzied scrawl on a crumpled Target receipt written with whatever eyeliner I found in the bottom of my purse. If you've ever used a diaper coupon as your calendar, you're in the right place.   I thought the fix was more motivation. A prettier planner. Better morning routine videos. But what I really needed was less striving and more structure—something that didn't ask me to be Superwoman, just someone who leads her week with clarity.   That's why I created my weekly action plan—not to micromanage my life, but to anchor it. It gave me the space to breathe, the margin to show up for what actually matters, and the confidence to stop reacting and start leading. It's simple. It works. And friend, it might just change everything for you, too.

If you've ever worked in a nonprofit and found yourself fronting expenses on your personal credit card, you're not alone—and you're definitely not doing it wrong. But there's a better way. Our host sat down with GiveFront.com , to unpack how nonprofits can modernize the way they manage spending, reimbursements, and financial oversight.Founder of GiveFront, Matt Tengtrakool, brings a unique dual lens to the discussion: one from years of hands-on experience running and managing nonprofit finances, and another from building financial technology designed specifically for the sector. His message is clear—nonprofits deserve modern tools to track spending, reduce fraud risk, streamline compliance, and eliminate burdensome reimbursement systems.He explains that many organizations still operate with a single credit card passed around among staff—a system ripe for errors, delays, and a lack of accountability. GiveFront provides an alternative: customizable, trackable virtual cards that make it easy for even volunteers to make approved purchases. “You want to allow people to spend for your organization, but you also want control,” Matt explains. “And having the systems set up from the start is extremely important.”The conversation covers common friction points between program teams and finance departments, shedding light on how better spend management can actually strengthen relationships across departments. Host Julia Patrick and Matt explore the psychological side of transparency, the real costs of missing receipts, and the ripple effects of poor policy enforcement.Matt also shares how sales tax refunds—often ignored due to their complexity—can recapture up to 10% of an organization's spending. With GiveFront's built-in tools, nonprofits in states like North Carolina and Utah can automatically generate sales tax refund documentation without drowning in paperwork.The episode wraps with practical advice: adopt a spend management platform, train your team on internal financial policies, and revisit those policies regularly. Because managing money well isn't just about spreadsheets—it's about trust, clarity, and making sure every dollar does the most good. 00:00:00 Introduction and Matt's background 00:01:27 Why reimbursements are outdated 00:03:15 Volunteer spending made easier 00:05:12 How nonprofits currently use credit cards 00:06:36 Digital wallets and virtual cards 00:07:38 Receipt tracking and compliance challenges 00:10:01 The hidden cost of $10 transactions 00:10:55 Fraud prevention and virtual card use 00:13:17 Bridging the gap between finance and programs 00:17:56 Sales tax refunds and real savings 00:22:00 Policy clarity and spend management best practices  #TheNonprofitShow #SpendManagement #NonprofitFinance Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Remember when ChatGPT first came out and it felt revolutionary? Well, that was just the beginning. Things are moving so fast in the AI world that by the time you figure out one tool, three new ones have launched. That's exactly why I brought Charlie Guo on the show—he's an AI engineer who actually understands this stuff and can explain it without making your head spin.We talked about what's actually happening behind the scenes with AI right now, why most "AI agents" aren't really what they claim to be, and Charlie's brilliant system for turning your random thoughts into polished blog posts. If you're feeling overwhelmed trying to keep up with AI while juggling your business and family, this episode will help you cut through the hype and focus on what can actually save you time.Feeling overwhelmed in your business? Take the Business Overwhelm Diagnostic. Top TakeawaysAI got way better at thinking things through, which is likely why we've seen an explosion in tools and use. They are much better at “reasoning” now.Most "AI agents" are just fancy automation tools that follow scripts you set up, not true assistants that can figure things out on their own and take action without your constant guidance.AI is finally starting to connect to your actual apps (like your email, calendar, and project management tools), which means we're getting closer to having a real digital assistant that can do stuff for you.You can turn car ride rambling into first drafts by recording voice memos of your ideas, then having AI organize them into actual articles—no more staring at blank screens.Let AI handle the grunt work, but keep the good stuff for yourself—use it for research and organizing, but don't let it write your insights or replace your personal voice that connects with people.Test AI with your own tasks every few months to see what it can actually do for your specific business instead of getting caught up in all the marketing hype about what it might do someday.Show NotesThe State of AI EngineeringTutorial: How to streamline your writing process with Whisper and GPT-4Dealing with AI Fatigue ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, I had a powerful and insightful conversation with Eric Kasper, the founder of 1 Commerce. Eric isn't just building another ecommerce platform—he's building from the ground up based on hard-won experience, past failures, and deep empathy for the challenges founders face.  We discussed how losing everything gave him clarity, how he rebuilt with intention, and how that journey became the foundation of a platform that helps brands scale across channels with real support. What stood out to me most is Eric's unique mix of humility and depth. He's not here to sell a system—he's here to partner with founders, guide them through complexity, and help them make smarter decisions.  Whether you're overwhelmed by Amazon, unsure about Walmart, or just trying to manage profitability across retail and DTC, this episode is packed with real talk, proven advice, and actionable strategies. Here are some key moments from the episode: * How Eric scaled from a garage to nearly $100M—and what broke it all apart   * Why the way you build matters more than what you build   * The #1 mistake brands make when entering marketplaces (and how to avoid it)   * A real-world case study: going from a $10M Shopify store to 8 retailers and 60% growth   * How 1 Commerce blends software + strategy to help founders sleep better at night   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to the episode and hear how one founder's experience is now empowering hundreds of others.

Being a boss is hard—and most people are thrown into it with zero training and a vague job description. Kim and Jason are joined by Andrew Palmer—yes, that Andrew Palmer from The Economist's “Bartleby” column and host of the Boss Class podcast—for a wide-ranging, no-BS conversation about what leadership looks like when it's done well…and when it's not. Together, they dig into the hilarious, maddening, and meaningful realities of modern management: from the awkward feedback moments and the myth of the “natural leader,” to power corruption and the poetry-prose balance of real leadership. Andrew brings the receipts (read: research),  and together they swap tips on blocking your calendar like a boss, making your expectations explicit, and the underrated power of writing things down (including what not to do). This isn't about chasing the latest leadership trend—it's about holding on to the stuff that actually helps people thrive at work.

"Chemicals are actually more dangerous at low doses than high ones... they're small amounts, but they're able to do a lot with the size and concentration and power of what they are." – Dr. Aly Cohen I invited back triple board-certified physician Dr. Aly Cohen to tackle the intimidating world of environmental toxins. As a rheumatologist, internist, and integrative medicine specialist, she brings a uniquely practical approach to a topic that can feel overwhelming. What I love about Aly's perspective is her emphasis on making reasonable, sustainable changes rather than attempting perfection. We explored how these small daily exposures accumulate in our bodies over time, the biggest offenders to focus on first, and her practical four-step process for reducing your toxic load without driving yourself crazy. If you've ever felt paralyzed by information overload about toxins, this conversation offers a refreshingly sane roadmap to better health.   What you'll learn: Why low-dose chemical exposures can be more dangerous than acute exposures and how they accumulate over time The "Four A's" approach to detoxification that makes reducing toxins manageable Which toxin sources make the biggest impact on your health (and should be addressed first) How clean food and water choices can immediately remove thousands of harmful chemicals from your daily exposure The powerful connection between toxins and weight challenges, including how toxins can prevent weight loss Why filtering your water is one of the highest-impact changes you can make Simple travel hacks to reduce your toxic load even when away from home The importance of adding in foods and practices that support your body's natural detoxification Love the Podcast?

Behind the scenes of this year's Get Fit Sanely series with ace producers Eleanor Vassili and Marissa Schneiderman.    Today we're kicking off the third annual iteration of a very popular series we do, called Get Fit Sanely. It's all about how to take care of your body without losing your mind. This is a dynamic tension many of us struggle to manage.   This is our most ambitious version of Get Fit Sanely. We're dedicating the whole month of June to the topic, with an incredible array of guests, on everything from gut health to importance of rest to how to operationalize the old cliché around listening to your body.   In this episode we talk about: Selecting guests and topics for this year's iteration of the series  How our producers let curiosity guide their thinking How this year's episodes build on what we've covered in the past Where our producers' personal stories come into play  And an exciting new component we're finally able to offer (hint: it's guided meditations)   Related Episodes: Get Fit Sanely: the podcast playlist The Anti-Diet | Evelyn Tribole Can You Get Fit Without Self-Loathing? | Cara Lai How To Outsmart Your Pain | Christiane Wolf The Science of Longevity | Dr. Peter Attia   Join Dan's online community here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel   To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris
