In this episode of TAB Storytellers, Jen and Abi sit down with Dr. Yichien Cooper to explore how curriculum can be a living, justice-centered practice shaped by listening, trust, and creative risk-taking. Yichien shares how she brings the principles of TAB into higher education spaces, even without a formal art education program, and how honoring students' lived experiences can transform both teaching and learning. It's a conversation full of reflection, encouragement, and powerful reminders that what we do in the classroom plants real seeds.Resources:Teaching for Artistic Behavior: teachingforartisticbehavior.orgTAB community (Mighty Networks): teaching-for-artistic-behavior-inc.mn.co.

The holidays are meant to be a season of joy, connection, and celebration — yet for so many people, they become a time of stress, pressure, and quiet frustration. Between social gatherings, comfort foods, disrupted routines, and emotional triggers, it's easy to feel like your health has to take a back seat until January. In this holiday episode, Joe and Rachel have an honest, real conversation about why the holidays derail so many people — and why it's not a lack of discipline or willpower. We unpack the all-or-nothing mindset that shows up this time of year, the hidden emotional drivers behind cravings, and the common belief that "starting over after the holidays" is the only option. This episode isn't about rules, restriction, or skipping the foods and traditions you love. It's about learning how to approach the holidays with intention instead of guilt, balance instead of burnout, and confidence instead of regret. We talk about how expectations, people-pleasing, and stress impact both our choices and our health — and how small, intentional shifts can make a big difference without stealing the joy of the season. Whether you follow keto, low-carb, or you're simply trying to feel better in your body, this conversation will help you navigate the holidays without feeling like you're failing or falling behind. If you've ever reached January feeling defeated, heavier, or disconnected from your goals, this episode offers a more compassionate and sustainable way forward. You don't have to choose between enjoying the holidays and honoring your health — and this episode will show you why. ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow & SaltT: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk (2krazyketos for 15% off) Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount) Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy
43: The Dogmatic Carnivores: What No One Is Saying In this episode, we dive deep into a growing problem in the carnivore community — the rise of dogma, gatekeeping, and unrealistic expectations that are pushing good people away from a way of eating that could genuinely change their lives. Joe gets real about how the conversation around "proper carnivore" has shifted in the last few years, while Rachel shares the emotional side: the shame, guilt, and confusion so many are feeling when they think they're "failing" the diet… even though they're actually doing great. We talk about the difference between ideal carnivore and practical, livable carnivore — and why most people who say they're "not really carnivore" are actually eating far closer to an ancestrally-aligned, low-inflammation, healing way of eating than they give themselves credit for. We unpack how social media extremes have created fear around foods that don't deserve fear, how perfection culture is scaring beginners away, and how the pressure to follow the strictest voices is causing far too many people to quit the proper human diet entirely. Most importantly, we explore what NEEDS to change: more nuance, more compassion, more real-life context, and more room for humans to be… human. Eating 70–80% meat is STILL carnivore enough to feel amazing, lower inflammation, stabilize hunger, rebalance hormones, and build a sustainable lifestyle. This episode is a call to bring common sense and grace back to the conversation. If you've ever felt like you're "not carnivore enough," or like you don't belong because your plate isn't textbook perfect — this episode is for you. We want to help you stop letting dogma derail your progress and remind you that healing doesn't require perfection. It requires consistency, honesty, and food that loves you back. ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow & SaltT: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk (2krazyketos for 15% off) Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount) Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy

In this comeback episode, we're finally back behind the mic — and we're sharing all the life changes that led us to step away, reset, and begin a brand-new chapter. We talk about leaving the city, starting The Double K Farm, and what it's really been like to build our own home and embrace a simpler, more intentional country lifestyle. From raising animals to learning homesteading skills, we're opening up about the challenges, the joy, and the unexpected rewards of rural living. We also dive into how the keto and carnivore community has shifted over the years. It used to feel unified, encouraging, and focused on sustainable health… but in recent years, it's become more divided, dogmatic, and confusing for beginners. We share our honest thoughts on where the keto community is today, what needs to change, and how to support people who just want real-life, long-term keto and carnivore success without the drama. Through all the big changes in our lives, one thing stayed steady: keto gave us the strength, energy, and stamina to take on massive projects — from farm work to home construction — without burning out. This episode is part life update, part homesteading story, and part honest commentary on the future of the Proper Human Diet. If you've missed the heart behind this community or you're curious about our move, our health journey, or the future of keto/carnivore, this episode brings it all together.

Reality Hub Podcast – Episode 81 with Rixt Botello Low Dose Herbal Medicine, Plant Consciousness & Person-Specific Dosing In this episode we sit down with herbalist, teacher and author Rixt Botello from Rixt's Herbals to explore her lifelong journey with herbal medicine and her unique low dose / low drop dosage philosophy. Rixt shares how getting sick as a young horticulturist (bare feet, Roundup, heavy smoking and all) led her to completely change her lifestyle, clean up her body before having children, and eventually train as a medical herbalist. With around 37 years of practice behind her, she talks about why less herbal material can often do more – for people, and for the planet. We dig into the difference between low dose herbalism and homeopathy, why some traditions moved toward “heroic doses”, and what Rixt calls a “person specific dose” – tailoring the amount to the individual, their life situation, stress, environment and even ethnicity. She also explains how low dose approaches can help protect endangered plant species and save people money, without losing effectiveness. From there, the conversation opens up into the “web of life”: plant consciousness, roots and mycelium as the original internet, Emoto's water crystal experiments, and how the plants you need often literally grow right outside your window. Rixt's Book & Online Course Rixt has poured 23 years of research into her book: Low Dosage Methodology in Herbal Medicine – a story-style herbal text with case studies and academic depth woven through it. She now teaches this material in an 8-module online course, starting January 11th, where she personally interacts with students. The course is suitable for: People with a genuine interest in herbs and herbal medicine, Existing practitioners and health professionals wanting to understand low / drop dosage and dosing methodologies (posology) in more depth. The course is delivered online (via Mighty Networks) with resource materials, glossary and clear explanations so you can revisit and apply the ideas in your own context.

Why community is the most powerful tool for transformation.Community isn't just a feel-good buzzword. According to Gina Bianchini, it's a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.Bianchini is the CEO and founder of community-building platform, Mighty Networks, and author of the book Purpose: Design a Community and Change Your Life. "Community is when people come together, and every single member has something to give and something to receive," she explains. In contrast to the one-directional dynamic of a speaker and their audience or a creator and their following, Bianchini argues that the power of community lies in two-way exchanges, where each member benefits the group and benefits from it. "Community is the single most effective way to get results and transformation you just can't get on your own," she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Bianchini joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss how to unlock the potential of purposeful communities. She shares strategies for finding your tribe during times of transition, the "people magic” created when we facilitate deep connections, and how creating community enables us to create the world and lives we imagine.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Gina BianchiniGina's Book: PurposeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful Moments Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - Defining Community vs. Audience (04:05) - Community as a Catalyst for Transformation (06:41) - Finding the Right Community (10:29) - The Future Story Framework (13:22) - People Magic & Facilitation (19:07) - The Final Three Questions (24:59) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.

Community Is The Future: How To Win Without AlgorithmsGina Bianchini believes the future belongs to people who know how to bring people together. In this episode of Just Keep Learning, we dive deep into the power of digital communities, how to build a thriving membership business, and why creators should stop chasing followers and start creating spaces for transformation.As the founder of Mighty Networks, Gina has helped thousands of entrepreneurs—from yoga teachers to career coaches—build their own communities that are more than just audiences. She explains how anyone can turn their passion into a business by creating a community around purpose, identity, and results.From Silicon Valley To Mighty MovementsGina started her career in Silicon Valley during the early days of social media. But after co-founding Ning, she realized the real value wasn't in broadcasting, it was in belonging. That led her to launch Mighty Networks, a platform focused on giving creators the tools to build high-impact, high-value communities and online courses all in one place.We talk about her journey, the difference between superficial engagement and meaningful transformation, and why she believes the next wave of the internet is community-first, not content-first.Monetization Through CommunitySo many creators are told they need to go viral, build a huge following, and then maybe—just maybe—monetize with ads or sponsors. Gina offers a better path.She explains how to build a business that makes money by solving real problems for a specific group of people. Through memberships, courses, events, and community experiences, creators can start earning much earlier and more sustainably—without relying on algorithms or reach.Community Design & Business StrategyGina introduces the three key elements of Community Design:A clear purpose that aligns with transformationA specific identity that members aspire toA structured path that delivers resultsShe shares how to structure your community for engagement, scale your value, and guide your members through a journey that actually improves their lives.We also touch on mindset shifts, including why creators need to think like entrepreneurs, how to manage imposter syndrome, and the importance of leading with curiosity.Lessons For Aspiring CreatorsBuild for belonging, not just attentionMonetization is about results, not reachStart small, but start with transformationSoft skills like storytelling, facilitation, and empathy are your superpowersThe platform you use should amplify your purpose, not distract from itDon't be afraid to niche down, because specificity scales Memorable Quotes“The future belongs to people who know how to bring people together.”“You don't need a million followers, you need a hundred people on a mission.”“Community is not about content. It's about transformation.”“Stop building funnels. Start building results.”Final Advice For CreatorsChoose your niche, find your purpose, and start building something real for real people.Your job isn't to entertain the algorithm—it's to lead a transformation. When you do that, everything else—income, impact, growth—will follow.Guest BioGina Bianchini is the founder and CEO of Mighty Networks, a platform that helps creators, coaches, and entrepreneurs build digital communities, memberships, and courses. A Silicon Valley veteran and co-founder of Ning, Gina's mission is to help people create meaningful movements online by bringing people together with purpose.

Over the past few years, I've heard several people suggest that "blogging is dead." However, one of my favorite coaching clients earns her primary income from her blog and also hosts retreats and an annual conference for an entire community of food bloggers who earn an income from their blogging efforts. So I invited my client, Megan Porta, and asked her the question, "Can you still make money blogging in 2025?" Short answer: Yes. It's doable. It looks different than it did a decade ago. It requires real passion, patience, and a focus on what serves readers right now. Below are thorough show notes to meet you exactly where you are. If you want to start or revive a blog as a real income stream, these notes double as a step-by-step primer. What This Episode Covers Why blogging still pays when you pair patience with passion Megan has seen brand-new bloggers “crushing it.” The difference now is you cannot fake it. Your readers and Google both know when you do. Authenticity wins. The fastest realistic path to first income Join a quality ad network once your traffic qualifies. We name the two big players and their current thresholds. We also discuss why Google SEO and Pinterest are still the two traffic pillars that move the needle. Niching way down to win Broad “everything” blogs struggle today. Specific sub-niches serve specific people and get rewarded. Think “vegan cakes” instead of “vegan.” The love for your topic has to show up in every post. The collaboration playbook for early momentum Smart email list swaps. Contributing value inside the right Facebook groups without spamming. How one helpful post can put a niche creator “on the map” in months. Income beyond ads Digital products. Memberships. Sponsorships. How to think about affiliate income post-HCU and what still works if you are selective. Platform and tech choices that save you pain Why WordPress.org with solid hosting is still the move. Why a VPS and proactive security matter. Real-world cautionary tales about updates, backups, and malware. Key Takeaways and Insights 1) Yes, you can still get paid to blog. The bar is higher. If you bring patience and genuine expertise, you can absolutely build an income today. People starting in the last year or two are succeeding. The difference is the landscape. Authenticity and user value must drive your strategy. 2) Niche inside the niche Winning examples are laser-specific. Pick a tight segment of a larger category, then become unmistakably helpful to that reader. This is how you break through and build trust. 3) Traffic plan: SEO and Pinterest first To qualify for premium ad networks, prioritize traffic that comes from search and Pinterest. Current thresholds discussed in the episode: Mediavine at roughly 50,000 sessions per month and Raptive at roughly 100,000 pageviews per month. Build to those numbers, then let ad RPMs start compounding. 4) Collaboration without spam Use email list collaborations. Show up consistently inside large, topic-relevant Facebook groups. Earn trust by answering questions with real substance. This moves traffic quickly when your niche is dialed in. 5) Create on-topic, helpful content Google's Helpful Content updates pushed bloggers to stay tightly aligned with user intent. Keep posts on point for your niche. Tangential personal stories and off-topic content dilute perceived expertise and can hurt discoverability. 6) Monetization mix that works in 2025 Display Ads once you hit network thresholds. This becomes semi-passive as your library grows. Digital Products as quick wins: ebooks, guides, weekly prep plans. These are simple to produce and match your audience's immediate needs. Memberships if your audience is invested. Price points in food niches commonly range from about 5 to 20 dollars per month, often for ad-free experiences or exclusive content. Tech options include WordPress setups and hosted communities such as Circle, Skool, Slack, Discord, Mighty Networks, and niche tools like Member Kitchens. Sponsorships when you can articulate your audience's value. Niche reach can beat raw follower counts if you understand a sponsor's acquisition economics and lifetime value. Affiliate Income is trickier after recent updates. It can still work at higher commissions or with premium offers. Treat it as a supplemental play, not your core plan. 7) Stack the tech in your favor Choose WordPress.org for full control, proven SEO flexibility, and extensibility. Invest in good hosting. A VPS with strong uptime guarantees is worth it. Expect to pay roughly 89 to 150 dollars per month for reliability that protects your revenue. Treat security and backups as non-negotiables. Plugins and themes require regular updates. Malware exploits often come from simple neglect. Have a pro who can restore fast. This avoids losing days or weeks or years of content. Practical Playbook Phase 1. Choose a narrow niche and validate demand List ten posts your ideal reader would save today. Ensure all are tightly aligned with one outcome your niche cares about. Keep stories and extras on-topic so Google sees topical authority. Phase 2. Protect the asset Run WordPress.org on a reliable VPS and keep everything updated. Assign backups and security to a pro so you do not risk outages or data loss. Phase 3. Build a traffic engine Publish high-quality posts that answer exact questions your audience asks. Optimize for search and create Pinterest assets for each post. Aim for Mediavine or Raptive thresholds to unlock ad revenue. Phase 4. Accelerate through collaboration Join large, relevant Facebook groups. Contribute substantial answers that stand on their own. Start tasteful email list collaborations for quick, qualified traffic. Phase 5. Layer monetization Add an easy digital product that solves a specific use case. Test a simple membership once engagement is strong. Pitch sponsors when you can quantify your audience's fit and value. About My Guest Megan Porta has been blogging since 2010 and runs Eat Blog Talk, a podcast and community that supports food bloggers who want to grow and monetize. She is a strong voice for focus, patience, and authenticity in a space that has evolved dramatically. Resources Mentioned Megan's sites: PipAndEbby.com and EatBlogTalk.com.

This week, I'm joined by Darrell Vesterfelt—VP of Growth at Mighty Networks, founder, and one of the powerhouse panelists at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE!—for a conversation that cuts right to the heart of what business is really about: people.From growing up in a trailer in rural Michigan to scaling creator businesses to millions in revenue, Darrell's story is proof that success doesn't come from fancy degrees or formulas—it comes from empathy, service, and the courage to follow your transformation.In this raw and energizing conversation, we explore the foundations of coaching, entrepreneurship, and building human-centered businesses that actually last. We talk about the fears that stop people from making offers, the truth about niche and ideal clients, and why community is not just nice-to-have—it's the container where transformation actually happens.We dive into: ✨ Why your ideal clients are often just a younger version of you ✨ How to use your own transformation as the foundation for your business ✨ The reframe that makes selling a moral obligation instead of something to fear ✨ Why niche isn't demographics—it's the transition you help people navigate ✨ How to write a “love letter” to your ideal client that instantly clarifies your message ✨ The truth about offers: if you don't love them, no one else will either ✨ Why selling, success, and failure are all neutral—and what that mindset shift unlocks ✨ The role of community in creating lasting transformation (and why you can't do it alone) ✨ What it really means to build a business that's aligned with service, authenticity, and peopleThis episode is an inspiring reminder that no matter what stage of business you're in, it's never about algorithms, vanity metrics, or trying to be “better.” It's about empathy, connection, and being willing to serve.If you've ever struggled with fear of selling, comparison, or “finding your niche,” this one's going to light you up.Interested in learning how to build a $1M community?

Anger and grief are good human emotions. They have the potential to open up so much for us – individually and collectively – which can lead to healing, breaking down barriers, and breaking through to better realities. The problem is that most humans weren't taught how to express anger or grief in healthy ways, so it comes out sideways in distorted ways, or it gets stuffed down until we blow up or get sick. Sometimes we are the receiver of that big emotional eruption and other times we are the "unleasher" or "erupter" on someone else. This episode was originally released in July 2024 as part of our nine-part summer series, Stay Light, hosted by Christine Arylo & Jennifer Alexandar. We pulled it out of our Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library as part of our 4-part July 2025 series this year. Wisdom still so relevant for these times. We explore perspectives and practices around dealing with the kind of rage and grief that comes from our wounds or the wounds of others, and how to do it differently in ways that lead to wholeness, including how we can: Discharge anger and grief so that it doesn't build up inside us and leak out, or erupt in distorted ways Have big emotions like rage and grief about the world, about our reality, about other people's actions or choices, without them consuming us Use our big emotions to heal ourselves and ignite creative action that inspires Deal with other people's misdirected rage and grief Respond to the things that enrage us, in powerful ways that make the world better vs. adding to the chaos Between now and the next episode, we invite you to contemplate the two-part inquiry: What anger or grief am I holding on to? Where do I feel it in my body? Bonus invitation: amplify your awareness and capacity to shift by SHARING this podcast with a friend and conversating on the inquiry together.
