What if everything you've been told about fat loss shortcuts is actually keeping you stuck? I'm sharing the unfiltered truth about why motivation, stricter eating, and working out harder actually backfire in midlife - and the foundation you need BEFORE any tactics will work. From my estrogen patch almost falling off on stage to the three-letter framework that changes everything, this episode reveals why most women are building their fat loss on sand instead of solid ground. You'll discover the "health detective" approach that saved my own transformation, why being in "deficit" isn't the answer you think it is, and the inflammatory trio that's sabotaging your results (hint: it's not what you expect). Plus, I'm calling out the false assumed truths that keep us playing small and sharing the decision-vision-action framework that actually creates lasting change. This isn't about finding another shortcut - it's about building the foundation that makes everything else work. And just to be clear, this is the tiny little appetizer version of what I actually teach. For the full buffet of midlife fat loss strategies, check out my full program, Total Body Thrive. That's where the real transformation happens.  Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Thrive: Done with quick fixes?

Bruce Eckfeldt is a Strategic Coach and Master Facilitator at Eckfeldt & Associates, where he works with CEOs and leadership teams to scale their businesses. As a former Inc. 500 Founder and CEO, he successfully scaled and sold his business. Bruce focuses on developing leadership skills, optimizing companies for transactions, and navigating mergers and acquisitions. In this episode… Many business owners dream of a profitable exit, but few are prepared for the emotional, strategic, and operational complexities that come with selling a company. Beyond valuation, sellers often overlook the personal identity challenges, the intricacies of deal structures, and what life will look like post-exit. So, how can founders approach their business exits in a way that minimizes regret and maximizes future opportunities? Leadership coach and former tech CEO Bruce Eckfeldt emphasizes the importance of reverse-engineering the exit process to align with long-term personal and professional goals. He advises founders to confront their emotional attachment to their businesses early and to develop networks and interests outside of work. He recommends proactively organizing company information and sharing all potential risks upfront to build buyer trust and streamline transactions. Bruce also highlights the need to carefully evaluate earnouts, deferred payments, and non-compete clauses to ensure the deal supports the seller's next venture. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz interviews Bruce Eckfeldt, Founder of Eckfeldt & Associates, about planning business exits as a launchpad for future success. Bruce shares why treating exits as springboards leads to more fulfilling outcomes. He also discusses the pitfalls to avoid, how to prepare for post-sale life, and the psychology behind successful transitions.

Mastering the Art of Listening Summary In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, John DiJulius and Denise Thompson discuss the importance of listening in customer service and leadership. They explore recent trends in customer experience, the art of listening, and practical tips for improving listening skills. The conversation emphasizes curiosity, engagement, and the need for leaders to create an environment where everyone feels heard. They also touch on the concept of a 'reality distortion field' and how it can inspire teams to achieve the impossible. Takeaways Listening is a critical skill in customer service and leadership. Curiosity drives better conversations and deeper connections. Effective listening requires patience and the ability to let others finish their thoughts. Leaders should speak last to empower their teams and encourage open dialogue. Avoid multitasking during conversations to show respect and engagement. Asking probing questions enhances the quality of discussions. Listening like you're wrong can lead to better understanding and service recovery. Being a trampoline, not a sponge, fosters more engaging conversations. Everyone has a story that can provide valuable insights. Creating a reality distortion field can help teams achieve extraordinary results.

Join Marvin Cash on this episode of Casting Angles featuring expert guide and instructor Mac Brown as they dive deep into mastering drift presentation techniques for summer trout fishing. Mac Brown, renowned for his comprehensive fly fishing guide schools and technical expertise, shares game-changing strategies for achieving drag-free drifts when targeting rising fish across varying current speeds. Learn how to position yourself strategically to avoid perpendicular approaches that create immediate drag, discover the "dancing line mend" technique that keeps your rod tip constantly moving to maintain perfect drifts up to 40 feet long or more and master the art of feeding line while mending to extend productive presentations. Mac discusses how proper line management and rhythmic mending can transform a 3-foot drift into a 30-foot money drift, significantly increasing your catch rates during challenging summer conditions. Whether you're targeting a specific riser on the far bank or working long sections of water with dry dropper rigs, these advanced presentation skills will elevate your technical game. Perfect for serious anglers looking to refine their approach during the slower summer months while building skills that will pay huge dividends when October and November bring increased trout activity.Related ContentS7, Ep 20 - Practice Makes Perfect: Mac Brown on Mastering Casting TechniquesS6, Ep 145 - Navigating Winter Waters: Unconventional Strategies with Mac BrownS7, Ep 41 - Navigating High Water: Strategies for Success with Mac BrownS6, Ep 136 - From Arkansas to Appalachia: Fly Fishing with Mac BrownAll Things Social MediaFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?

What separates entrepreneurs who collapse under pressure from those who come back stronger? Sasha Tripp—a real estate entrepreneur who survived financial disaster, market crashes, and personal crises—shares how she transformed adversity into her greatest breakthrough. Discover the mindset shifts that helped her lead with resilience and rebuild her business, and how Strategic Coach® gave her the tools to turn chaos into clarity. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:What made Sasha realize that she had to either improve her skill set or get into sales.Why the sky's the limit in real estate if you have the right work ethic.Why Sasha thinks she might never be employable again.How Sasha's entrepreneurial path and her Strategic Coach journey have always overlapped.The hardest thing Sasha has ever had to go through. Show Notes: True entrepreneurship is tested in the valleys, not just the peaks. You can't tell if someone's a really great entrepreneur in the best of times because they have a lot of supports in place. The 4 C's Formula®—Commitment, Courage, Capability, and Confidence—is the foundation of overcoming any challenge. It requires courage and commitment to gain new capabilities and confidence. Confidence feels good. Courage feels lousy. If there are going to be problems in the marketplace, residential real estate is where it shows up first. When everything falls apart, your mindset determines whether you rebuild or retreat. Entrepreneurship isn't about avoiding risk; it's about managing fear while moving forward. Entrepreneurs have the freedom to pivot and change when it makes the most sense to do so. If you don't have the answer yet, it might be that you haven't thought of the right question. Strategic Coach isn't about tactics; it's about training yourself to ask better questions. Strategic Coach is a community of unbiased people you can talk to about your challenges. You can want what you want. You don't have to justify it. Your business should fit your life, not the other way around. The fastest way to grow isn't working harder, it's thinking differently. Resources: The 4 C's Formula by Dan Sullivan 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy Who Not How by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy The Positive Focus®

What if everything you've been told about healing after loss or trauma and the 5 stages of grief are wrong? Dr. B shares her incredible journey from devastating loss to becoming a beacon of hope for others. After losing three children and her husband over 20 years, this psychiatric nurse practitioner discovered why traditional approaches to grief often keep us stuck - and developed a revolutionary method that actually works. You'll discover why the famous "five stages of grief" are actually harmful, how trauma gets stored in our bodies and impacts our weight, energy, and relationships, and the specific steps you can take to transform your pain into purpose. Dr. B reveals her "Mentally Strong Method" and explains why grief and trauma are completely different - and why understanding this distinction changes everything. This isn't about "getting over" your pain or pretending everything is fine. It's about learning to separate grief (which is your badge of honor) from trauma (which keeps you stuck) so you can finally heal and thrive. If you've ever felt like your past is holding you back from the health, relationships, or life you want, this conversation will give you permission to heal - and show you exactly how to do it.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Cristi Bundukamara:   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/cristibundukamara    Free E Book  ➜  https://mentallystrong.ac-page.com/freebook Mentally Strong Method  ➜  https://mentallystrong.com/   Thank you to our show sponsors!

In this captivating episode of Shark Theory, host Baylor Barbee shares a delightful anecdote from his recent visit to Ham Orchard in Terrell, Texas—a renowned peach orchard famous for its vast variety and unique peach-inspired products. Using this experience as a metaphor, Baylor delves into the importance of mastering a core competency before expanding into various derivatives, drawing parallels with his journey in public speaking. The episode emphasizes how businesses and individuals can thrive by focusing on their strengths and fostering a peaceful and welcoming environment. Ham Orchard, a family-operated business since 1979, exemplifies the power of specialization and community atmosphere. Throughout the episode, Baylor details his surprise and admiration for the orchard's extensive selection of peach products, demonstrating how honing one core skill can lead to success in multiple areas. The discussion is rich with insights on personal growth, illustrating the significance of finding peace and projecting positive energy in personal and professional interactions. This theme serves as a central pillar for the episode, encouraging listeners to cultivate a sense of calm to enhance their magnetism and appeal. Key Takeaways: Mastering one core skill allows you to expand successfully into related areas. Creating a peaceful environment can attract and retain people both personally and professionally. Your presence and energy can have a significant impact on your success. Businesses that remain true to their values, like Ham Orchard's practice of closing on Sundays, can foster a positive community atmosphere. Seasons change in life and business; patience and persistence are key. Notable Quotes: "If you're great at something, you can always expand on it." "Success and growth come with mastering one element." "Being a Peace creator is arguably the most magnetic skill that you can have." "If you're the person that brings peace to a situation, people will want to be around you." "There's always seasons in life and if you're in a down season right now, just realize your season is coming."

Send Rachel a text message.Be mindful of your self-talk, it's a conversation with the Universe. —David James LeesThis podcast episode focuses on negative self-talk, exploring how destructive internal dialogues are learned, not inherent. Rachel provides a four-step process to transform negative self-talk:1.        Awareness without judgment: Notice the critical inner voice without self-criticism2.        Identify the source: Recognize that negative thoughts often come from external influences, not your true self3.        Call in the Highest Self: Connect with your inner wisdom and eternal consciousness4.        Rewrite the script: Replace negative thoughts with compassionate, validating statementsThe episode emphasizes that the inner critic is not bad, but scared, and should be met with curiosity and compassion. Rachel uses the Cherokee tale of two wolves to illustrate how we choose which internal voice to "feed"—the one of fear or the one of love.Key MessageYou are not your negative thoughts.
