If you're a multipassionate ADHD-ish creative who tends to be much better at starting a project than finishing it, wonders if it's really possible to stand out in a crowded market, and struggles to figure out how to make a living from art and make a difference in the world, this Client Success Story episode will resonate with you, big time. My guest today is one of my favorite people, Jess Malli Mercier, the creative genius behind my podcast and business rebrand. You're in for a raw and honest conversation about being a creative solopreneur, wife, and mama—and how we worked together to find focus, consistency, and self-acceptance without taming the wild genius of her brain.Jess opens up about lessons learned, including letting go of perfectionism, honoring brain-based rhythms (hello, hyperfocus sprints and creative rest!), redefining consistency outside of hustle culture, and the life-changing freedom of making her business fit her life, not the other way around.We get real about the unlearning process, too—wrestling with guilt for stepping away, rethinking “should,” and discovering the value of fully present moments (even if that means building pillow forts with your littles before getting back to work).Highlights of this episode:The Magic of Collaborative Branding: Jess reveals why the best branding isn't transactional—it's about deep collaboration that reveals what makes you (and your business) truly unique.Owning Your Brain—Labels or Not: We talk candidly about labels like ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and why the label itself might not matter as much as learning to work with your “big beautiful brain” (as Jess calls hers) Making Space for Joy, Mess, and Rest: Ultimately, the episode is a reminder not to confuse hustle with success, or routine with progress. The goal is to create a life and a brand that reflects your truest self, even when that looks different from the mainstream. Jess and I both agree: eat the cake, savor the little moments, and let your business be as unique as the brain behind it.Jess's superpower: Jess's approach to branding involves making her clients step into their metaphorical red stilettos— pushing them out of their comfort zone so they can find their x-factor. In her words, “I don't want small talk. Show me your fucking soul.”Want to connect with Jess?

Welcome back to Let's Try This Again—I'm your host, B Simone, and in this episode, I'm sitting down with one of my favorite people, a relationship coach and magnetic matchmaker, Spicy Mari, who's been a constant source of support and inspiration in my life. We get real about what it means to juggle motherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship, especially when your world gets turned upside down by a new baby. Spicy Mari, who is a mom to a three-year-old, opens up about the beautiful chaos of toddlerhood and how becoming a mother stretched her in ways she never expected—like learning to put her own needs second and giving herself permission to slow down and focus on her child, even when her business was always her “first baby.”We talk about the challenges of keeping your relationship strong after having a child, and how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparing who's doing more at home. Mari shares how therapy and honest conversations helped her navigate those tough moments, and why it's so important to be intentional about filling your own cup, even when your schedule is packed and your energy is low. We also get into the difference between how women and men handle responsibilities—how women often take on more, not just because they have to, but because it matters to us in a way it just doesn't for men. Whether you're a mom, dreaming of motherhood, or just trying to keep your relationships healthy and balanced, this episode is packed with relatable stories, practical advice, and a whole lot of heart.Sponsors//Simply Pop: See what the fizz is all about!

Throughout her life, she's been a high-achiever, graduating from medical school at Columbia and opening her own clinical research institute. She now says she was "pathologically productive" to try to mask feelings of inadequacy.

Some people move house for the location, some people move for the fireplaces: for Ula Maria, it was a neglected, overgrown garden in South London that confirmed her future home. The Lithuanian garden designer is arguably the most celebrated of her generation: Ula became the youngest person to ever win Best In Show at Chelsea in 2024 - and only the third woman to take the prize in the Flower Show's century-long history.But behind the scenes of a skyrocketing career, Ula was navigating considerable personal struggle and loss - and, all the while, she was building her own garden from that overgrown plot.

As many of you know, this time of year is always layered for me. Mother's Day brings both sweet memories and aching absences. In this episode of Parenting Impossible, I open up about my own motherhood journey.

To those of you parenting children with disabilities, caring for aging parents, or simply doing your best to hold it all together: I see you. You are not alone.

In this shiur, delivered in Ba'er Miriam, Rav Burg explains the true definition of love. When Hashem created the world, He pulled Himself back to create space for us to exist. In our relationships, we have the opportunity to act like Hashem and pull ourselves back to create space for another. We are often afraid to do so because we lack a deep connection to our infinite Godly souls. When we play the game of life with an infinite amount of "poker chips" we are strong enough to pull back and give ourselves to another.

Known as the powerhouse behind companies like Skims and Good American, Grede says she takes issue with the phrase "self-made".

If you haven't noticed, there's a lot of "new" connected to our church right now; new building, new faces, new life changes, and new ministries. With all this new in the air, how's your faith? Is it time for some fresh faith? Here's the thing about faith, it doesn't just grow on it's own...it needs some help to grow. One of the most unlikely, but reasonable "faith rejuvenators" is the work of creating space. For many of us, our lives are so busy we've literally crowded God out of most areas of our lives. So, for there to be fresh faith, we need to make space for God. When we intentionally make space for God in our lives, we open ourselves to His presence and invite Him to work in our lives. In that space, God often reveals His character, reminding us of His faithfulness, mercy, and love. As we listen and respond to Him, our trust in His promises grows stronger. Even small moments of connection with God can plant seeds of faith that deepen over time, helping us to see beyond our circumstances and rely on His guidance and provision. Here's the truth: If you make space for God, He will fill that space with the resources you need for your faith to grow.

Send us a textWhen life gets loud, silence makes space for God.In today's world, the noise never stops — constant demands, endless notifications, and pressure from every direction. But Jesus shows us a better way.In Week 1 of our new series, we look at how Jesus responded to the noise of life by withdrawing to quiet places — not to escape, but to connect deeply with the Father. Silence and solitude aren't just ancient disciplines — they're essential rhythms for our spiritual survival today.

Consider what you want to make space for in your life in this 6-minute contemplation guided by Alex Elle.  Find a quiet place, settle your body, and reflect on where you want more clarity or ease in your life. Breathe deeply, filling your belly on each inhale and softening your body on each exhale. Notice the fears, doubts, or stresses you're carrying and gently commit to letting them go. Pick one phrase from the meditation that speaks to you most deeply (e.g., In the presence of chaos, I will make space for inner peace). Write it down on a sticky note and place it somewhere visible to keep the intention alive throughout your day. Close your practice by offering yourself grace, trusting that making space takes time and patience.

  In this episode of the podcast, host Javier Proenza is joined by Rhett Baruch, founder of the contemporary art space Rhett Baruch Gallery, for a candid conversation that moves fluidly between car culture and curatorial strategy—touching on everything from VTEC engines and flat-plane V8s to the architecture of gallery identity in Los Angeles. Baruch discusses his unconventional journey from car enthusiast to gallerist, tracing how a passion for craftsmanship, aesthetics, and the tactile qualities of objects evolved into a sharp curatorial practice. With no formal background in the art world, Baruch speaks to the DIY spirit that shaped the gallery's beginnings—from styling vintage design vignettes in his historic Little Bangladesh apartment to leveraging Instagram to cultivate a following of interior designers who would become his first collectors. Throughout the conversation, Baruch emphasizes materiality, intention, and relationships over trend-chasing or institutional pedigree. His eye for precision, born of a background in automotive performance and design, guides Rhett Baruch Gallery's focus on high-quality, often hand-built contemporary works—from the sculptural paintings of Cole Seager and Christopher Ríos to the minimalist interventions of Satoshi Okada. Informed by an understated spirituality and a quiet resistance to conventional art world hierarchies, Baruch's practice speaks to a broader shift in the collector landscape—one where emerging buyers are invited into the fold through aesthetics, storytelling, and trust. This episode offers an illuminating look at how one of LA's most distinct young galleries is redefining what a contemporary art space can be: refined but accessible, rooted in design yet committed to fine art, and always evolving. Highlights include: How Rhett Baruch transitioned from automotive culture to the contemporary art world The role of interior designers in seeding a new generation of art collectors Rhett Baruch Gallery's focus on material quality and process-based practices Thoughts on the art world's relationship to faith, aesthetics, and the "white cube" model Building credibility without an MFA or institutional affiliation Gallery branding, voice, and strategy—from vignettes to vernacular Featured Artists Mentioned: Jonathan Todryk, Cole Seager, Christopher Ríos, Edward, Linda Keeler, Satoshi Okada, Laura Walberg Rhett Baruch Gallery Website: www.rhettbaruch.com Instagram: @rhett.baruch.gallery Listen to the episode on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Patreon (early access) Subscribe, Rate & Review If you enjoyed this conversation, please leave us a five-star review, share the episode, and consider joining our Patreon for early access to new episodes. #ContemporaryArt #ArtPodcast #RhettBaruch #RhettBaruchGallery #LosAngelesArt #EmergingArtists #ArtCollecting #GalleryLife #ArtAndDesign #MaterialityInArt #ArtistInterviews #CarCultureToCurator #ArtWorldInsights

Hello and welcome to episode 95 of the Still Spinning Podcast, this week with a visual screen share for those who watch the video. More on that in a bit. This episode was recorded on 4/20 which means it was Easter AND 4/20. A double holiday for sure. There was a space flight this past week that got a lot of attention and the podcast would be remiss not to give it attention as well. 5 famous ladies went up into space and got a lot of flak. Dan agrees with most of the flak being unwarranted BUT there was one big issue he brought to the table and that is the fact that the flight was called “Making Space for Women.” Listen in to hear his biggest issue with this. There is something out there called “Flight Theory” and it is creating some havoc in the travel community. The idea is you can arrive 15 minutes before boarding and just breeze onto your flight. Well, you can imagine Dan and Nicole have some thoughts on that. They also share their travel timing and tips on TSA precheck.(the tip is you should have it) A woman took to the internet to get feedback on her letting her kid eat snacks they had not yet paid for while grocery shopping and the internet had a LOT to say about it. And so do the podcasters! We chat about the idea of even doing this as well as some hidden “grossness” within the idea of it. Speaking of gross, there is a new research team working on lab-grown chicken and it is GROSS. We share the story, and some images, of the meat and the process. It is not necessarily a new idea BUT this piece of chicken is the biggest one they have grown so far. Did I mention it looks (and sounds) gross?? All of this and more on this week's episode! Check out our website at stillspinningpodcast.com for even more fun ways to support the podcast, get some merch and even listen to “old” episodes. Thanks so much for joining us!

Big Sean has been topping the charts for nearly fifteen years. The Detroit-born rapper says he knew from an early age that he would make it, even when his peers said his dream was impossible. In addition to his award-winning music career, he released a book this year called Go Higher: Five Practices for Purpose, Success, and Inner Peace. He opened up to Hoda on his struggle with fame, and why he's not afraid of losing it.

Actresses Christina Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler have spent decades in the spotlight, with iconic roles on "Married With Children" and "The Sopranos". They've taken on a different role in recent years as the public faces of multiple sclerosis. Sigler was diagnosed when she was just 20 years old, but didn't publicly share her diagnosis until 2016. Applegate received her diagnosis less than four years ago. The two opened up to Hoda about the pain and triumph that has bonded them. 

Vicky Nguyen is the NBC News chief consumer investigative correspondent. In her new memoir, "Boat Baby", she shares her family's harrowing story of fleeing Vietnam in 1980, five years after the fall of Saigon.  Along the way, Nguyen's family relied on smugglers, encountered pirates, and eventually lived in a refugee camp on a beach in Malaysia, all while she was less than a year old.  Her family ultimately immigrated to the U.S., and she says her parents embraced the opportunity to give her a "great American childhood".  Nguyen opened up to Hoda about her decision to share her story. Through all the ups and downs of assimilation,  Nguyen says her book is "a love letter to America" - and to her parents.

Maria Shriver joins Hoda Kotb to share how she has learned to live a meaningful life, as the most authentic version of herself ahead of the release of her new book of poetry, I Am Maria.

Elle Macpherson is a supermodel, actress, and entrepreneur. Nicknamed "The Body" at the height of her modeling career, Macpherson appeared to have it all - but looking back, she says she didn't appreciate herself in her twenties and thirties, struggling with addiction and eventually entering rehab for alcoholism. Macpherson's sobriety renewed her commitment to health, and in 2014 she launched her wellness brand, WelleCo. Just three years later, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she underwent two lumpectomies and chose a holistic approach over conventional treatment. Macpherson sat down with Hoda to talk about her career, her wellness journey and why she feels more alive than ever.
