The “why am I like this?” loop that keeps you stuck in your own head.In this episode, Anna and Tim unpack the mindset shifts that almost all of us need to hear, even if we've heard them before. From scarcity thinking rooted in childhood to overtraining, people pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout, this episode gets real about the internal patterns that quietly run the show. Join them as they explore what it means to treat your feelings as information, not instruction, to stop waiting to feel ready, and to recognize that you're not behind, you might just be overloaded.This Episode Covers:How scarcity thinking from childhood can quietly shape your default mindset.The difference between feelings as information and feelings as instruction.Why so many of us live in catastrophizing and worst-case scenarios.Boundaries as a resource decision, not a moral argument.People pleasing as a way to manage other people's emotions.The pressure of perfection, overtraining, and burning yourself out.The shift from “why am I like this?” to “what do I do next?”.Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.Mad love!Book a Discovery Call for Coaching/Therapy: https://calendly.com/badassconfidencecoach/coachingThe podcast is now on YouTube!

What does it take to build a global design firm from scratch and then walk away from it at the top of your game? Mia Feasey did exactly that. She launched her international design business at just 24 years old, scaled it across borders, and made the bold decision to exit at 45, not because she had to, but because she chose to. In this episode, Christina's special guest Mia gets refreshingly real about what it actually took: the risks she took before she felt ready, the moments she almost played it safe, and why authenticity became her most powerful business strategy. If you've ever wondered what's waiting for you on the other side of a big leap, or if you're quietly dreaming of your own next chapter, this conversation will light a fire under you. About Mia Mia Feasey is the founder of Siren Design Group, a global design consultancy she built from a single Sydney studio into an international powerhouse with clients like Amazon, Google, Chanel, and Balenciaga. Guided by a people-first philosophy and a refusal to fear failure, she grew the firm over 20 years before making the bold decision to hand over the reins and walk away. Now based in Queenstown, New Zealand, Mia is channeling the same creativity and courage that built her business into redesigning her life — slowing down, reconnecting with her family, and figuring out what truly makes her heart sing.

The Developer to CEO transition rarely starts with a bold declaration like, "I'm going to run a company." More often, it begins quietly—by taking on one more responsibility, saying yes to a new opportunity, or stepping into a role that stretches just a little beyond your comfort zone. In this episode of the Building Better Developers podcast, part of our Forward Momentum season, we talk with Meeky Hwang about how that transition unfolds in real life. Her path—from developer to agency founder and CEO—reflects a pattern many experienced engineers recognize only in hindsight. Over time, those small decisions add up. You stop thinking only about code and start thinking about people, clients, sustainability, and direction. At some point, you realize you're no longer just building software—you're building a business. About Meeky Hwang Meeky Hwang's journey resonates with entrepreneurs, technical leaders, and anyone navigating the intersection of technology and business. As CEO and Co-Founder of Ndevr, a digital solutions development agency, Meeky brings over 20 years of experience building resilient, scalable platforms for organizations including Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Forbes, PMC, and Bloomberg. Her work goes beyond website development—she focuses on long-term digital solutions that improve performance, streamline workflows, and align technology with business strategy. Equally important is Meeky's perspective as a woman leading in a male-dominated industry. She has navigated the challenges of technical leadership, entrepreneurship, and scaling a services business while building credibility and strong teams along the way. Her experience offers an honest look at what it takes to grow as a leader without losing sight of innovation, people, or purpose. Follow on LinkedIn and her Website. Developer to CEO transition starts with "accidental" opportunities For many engineers, this transition begins almost by accident. A consulting role exposes you to different industries. A startup forces you to wear multiple hats. An agency environment teaches you how delivery, relationships, and trust intersect. None of these roles comes with a "future CEO" label. But they do build instincts—how to prioritize, how to adapt, and how to make tradeoffs when perfect solutions aren't possible. Those instincts matter far more than a perfectly mapped career plan. Developer to CEO transition lessons from consulting, startups, and agencies Each environment contributes something different to the Developer to CEO transition. Consulting sharpens communication and expectation-setting. Startups teach ownership and resilience. Agencies reveal what it takes to scale work without burning people out. Individually, these roles can feel chaotic. Together, they form a foundation that prepares developers for leadership long before they realize that's where they're headed. Developer to CEO transition and the mindset shift to full responsibility There's a moment in the transition when responsibility feels heavier. Decisions don't stop at your team or your sprint—they ripple outward. Hiring, pricing, client relationships, and long-term viability all land on your plate. Problems are no longer theoretical. They're personal. This shift changes how leaders think. It forces clarity, prioritization, and the ability to move forward without perfect information. Developer to CEO transition accelerators: mastermind and founder groups One of the most impactful accelerators in the Developer to CEO transition is joining founder communities earlier than you think you need them. Mastermind ROI for New Owners Real conversations about hiring, benefits, pricing, and mistakes Exposure to how other founders actually run their businesses Founder groups shorten the learning curve by replacing isolation with shared experience. Instead of guessing, you learn from people who've already been there. Developer to CEO transition accountability: learning faster through peers Accountability is often underestimated in the Developer to CEO transition. Founder groups create a rhythm of progress—not through pressure, but through shared momentum. The "Accidental" Path That Works Follow opportunities that increase learning, not just status Optimize early for exposure and experience, not polish When you know you'll report back to peers who care, progress stops being optional. Developer to CEO transition when your role forces personal growth The Developer to CEO transition also reshapes how leaders show up. Many founders start as quiet contributors, comfortable behind the scenes. Leadership changes that. Mindset Shifts in the Developer to CEO transition Responsibility changes how decisions feel—and how quickly they must be made Visibility and communication become part of the job Growth here isn't about changing who you are. It's about growing into what the role requires. Developer to CEO transition and evolving the agency niche over time As companies mature, the Developer to CEO transition continues through strategic evolution. Niches tighten, then expand. Focus shifts based on market feedback, strengths, and timing. The most successful agencies don't chase trends. They adjust deliberately, guided by experience rather than impulse. Developer to CEO transition: what to do earlier if you could restart Ask founders what they'd change, and many give the same answer: find peer support sooner. The Developer to CEO transition becomes clearer—and far less lonely—when you're not navigating it in isolation. This episode of the Building Better Developers podcast is a reminder that growth doesn't come from having all the answers. It comes from asking better questions, learning from others, and building momentum—one decision at a time.

Is positive psychology real science… or just another version of “just think positive” that ignores real stress?In this episode of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, Vanessa De Jesus Guzman sits down with positive psychology expert Diane Lang to explore what the research actually says about gratitude, resilience, mindset, and positive aging.If you are raising kids, juggling work, navigating midlife changes, or feeling stretched thin, you may have wondered whether practices like gratitude really make a difference. Is it toxic positivity? Or is there measurable science behind it?This conversation breaks down:The difference between positive psychology and forced positivityWhy we need three positive emotions to balance one negativeHow gratitude rewires the brain over timeThe role belief systems play in midlife transitions and agingWhy lifestyle and mindset influence longevity more than we thinkPositive psychology does not deny grief, anxiety, or depression. It works alongside therapy, medication, and traditional treatment to build emotional resilience and long-term wellbeing.For moms navigating stress, perimenopause, identity shifts, and the invisible load of family life, this episode offers practical, research-backed habits that are realistic, free, and sustainable.THREE KEY TAKEAWAYS1. Positive psychology is evidence-based and practical. It strengthens resilience without dismissing pain. It is about building emotional capacity, not pretending everything is fine.2. Gratitude and kindness shift your brain over time. Consistent daily practices improve sleep, mood, and stress recovery by retraining your negativity bias.3. Positive aging starts with mindset. Genetics play a role, but lifestyle, belief systems, relationships, and daily habits have significant influence over how we age physically and emotionally.Connect with Diane: https://dianelang.org/ If this episode challenged your thinking or shifted your perspective, share it with another mom who may need it.Because the more good we train our brains to notice, the more grounded we become.In a world where you are free to be anything, you are always free to be mindful.Send a textSupport the show120 COPING SKILLShttps://www.freetobemindful.com/podcast-120copingskillsGET THE MUSE HEADBAND AT A DISCOUNT!https://choosemuse.com/freetobemindfulUse this link to get 15% off your total when you purchase the amazing brain sensing headband that tells you when you're in a meditative state and guides you to improve your practice.LET'S STAY CONNECTED:

This didn't happen overnight. It happened because of one decision. In this clip from The Abundance Mindset podcast, Gualter shares the mindset shift that took him from heavy real estate operations to nearly $4 million deployed in passive lending. The key wasn't working harder. It was choosing not to. By fixing his purpose and eliminating distractions, Vinney focused only on income streams that didn't require his daily presence. This is what fixity of purpose looks like in real life

James is the managing partner of Equity Value Advisors, advising brand executives and investors that are seeking guidance on how to accelerate e-commerce revenues and to align e-commerce and physical retail distribution and pricing strategies. Formerly, James was the chief strategy officer at Big Box Experts, a managed services agency supporting brand executive teams selling online, as well as private equity investors evaluating brands sold on Amazon. He has also served as the business head of Amazon Services, the division of Amazon responsible for recruiting tens of thousands of sellers annually to the Amazon Marketplace. He also served as the first fulfillment by Amazon Account Manager and prior to Amazon. James was a management consultant and retail banker. So with that introduction, James, welcome to the podcast.James 00:00:56 Thank you for having me today, Josh.Josh 00:00:58 On that note, James, I mean, we talked a lot about different strategies that people can be implementing to move from seven figures to eight figures and beyond. What would be like your actionable advice for them to say, hey, this is what I would do first, second, third.James 00:01:13 So the first thing I would do, we actually haven't talked about yet. First thing I would do is I would start to delegate tasks to people and clear up your plates so you can spend more of your time thinking about how to go and source better products, how to do more research to find those product gaps in your catalog that you can start to fill. How to start thinking about new channels that you might expand into. When I think of the day to day activities of what it takes to run an Amazon business, there's an awful lot of stuff that, quite frankly, we don't really like doing. You got to check reports. You got to check seller central. You got to check your inventory. You probably got to talk to your, three people if you've got one that's bringing products in from overseas. There's a lot of activities that need to be looked at. And I didn't even talk about, oh, you got to file 20 seller support tickets today. All that kind of stuff you need to be saying to yourself, even though I think I can do this better than anybody else in the world.James 00:02:08 The reality is, there's only so many hours in the day you need to go hire a VA or outsource this to a trusted colleague who, you know, make. Of course you know it's going to cost you money, but the money that you spend to have somebody do a lot of these repetitive tasks or tasks that you don't really like doing, that frees you up to do much higher value added stuff to drive your overall business. If you've got more time to be doing new product research and thinking through, okay, where is there opportunity for me to potentially expand my product line? where do I need to start thinking about culling out some of the products in my products? Because quite frankly, not all this stuff has turned out to be gold. You've got to have time to think through those bigger questions. And the only way to do that is to start outsourcing some of the mundane that comes with running an Amazon business. as you get better at outsourcing that and accepting the fact that, yeah, you know, this other person who's taking on these tasks may not be quite as amazing at doing it as I am, but quite frankly, I don't need amazing, I need confidence.James 00:03:10 And the more you can get competent help to help you with many of these tasks, the more time you free up to work on other types of activities. When my partner, business partner and I were running our Amazon agency, we did everything we put on every hat imaginable to run that business. And as we started to outsource certain tasks and get more comfortable with listen, we can outsource most of this stuff with high confidence to people, as long as we train them properly and we're patient and we get them up and running. All of a sudden we now had a multiplier effect. We have a multiplier effect. That's when the genius of being a business owner starts to really kick in. And yeah, you know, wouldn't you love to have five other people who is as strong and intelligent and good looking as you are to be there with you? I don't need that. I need 3 or 4 highly competent people in each of their specific areas to help me pursue different responsibilities so that I can go and tackle some of these bigger, long term questions.James 00:04:04 That's the stuff that really starts to matter, and that's the stuff where I get excited because I r...

What if the way you think about change is the very thing holding you back?So often, when we try to improve our health, habits, routines, or mindset, we focus on what we have to give up — comfort foods, old patterns, time on the couch, excuses, or even parts of our identity that once felt safe. And when everything feels like loss, it's no wonder change feels heavy, restrictive, and hard to sustain.But what if the real transformation happens when you shift your focus from what you're losing… to who you're BECOMING?In this episode, we dive into the powerful mindset shift that reframes growth from sacrifice to evolution. You'll learn why focusing on “giving up” keeps you stuck in resistance, and how embracing “becoming” creates momentum, motivation, and meaning.This is about identity-level change — the kind that lasts.
Functionally Enlightened - Better ways to heal from chronic pain and illness
In this episode of the Functionally Enlightened Podcast, Sharon Surita, PhD, BCFDNP interviews Casey Hibbard, founder of Rebuilding My Health, about her path from autoimmunity and inflammatory arthritis to recovery using a functional, root-cause approach.After conventional answers fell short, Casey explored anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut healing protocols, and detoxification strategies—and worked methodically through underlying gut infections and overgrowth patterns, including SIBO, H. pylori, Candida, and parasites. We also unpack the often-overlooked pieces that make healing sustainable: mindset shifts, stress regulation, community support, and reducing environmental toxin load (including mold exposure).This conversation is for anyone navigating chronic illness who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or discouraged—because Casey's story (and the patterns she's seen across hundreds of recovery interviews) reinforces a powerful message: healing is possible when you support the whole system, not just the symptoms.In this episode, we cover:Casey's autoimmune + inflammatory arthritis recovery storyWhy gut healing often becomes the “hub” of chronic illness progressLessons from treating SIBO, H. pylori, Candida, and parasites step-by-stepHow paleo and anti-inflammatory eating can reduce systemic inflammationMold exposure, environmental inputs, and why detox is more than supplementsMindset, nervous system regulation, and finding the right community supportThe most “universal” healing levers Casey sees across chronic conditionsFree Resource: The Top 8 Steps That Helped ©Casey Hibbard Takeaways from “Overcoming Autoimmunity” --- https://rebuildingmyhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Top-8-download-1.pdf

Book an RRI Info Call https://calendly.com/rri-storm/assessment?month=2026-02 Are you a realtor who feels like the business owns you instead of the other way around? After 40 years in the industry, I know it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I share the concept of Future Focus, the mindset principle I teach at Richard Robbins International that has helped thousands of real estate professionals transform their results and their lives. Through two personal stories (flying a fighter jet in South Africa and racing a NASCAR), I break down why the most successful people share one trait: they focus on where they want to go, not where they've been. If you're ready to stop repeating the past and start building the future you actually want, this one's for you.
Vereinbare jetzt dein kostenloses Erstgespräch: www.andreasbaulig.de/termin In dieser Episode von Die Coaching-Revolution spricht Andreas Baulig darüber, warum du nicht an fehlenden Taktiken oder „geheimen KI-Strategien“ scheiterst, sondern an fehlender Integrität im Unternehmertum.

Are you addicted to certainty? In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta Wenzel and Dorice explore why we cling to being right — and what that attachment is doing to our nervous system, our relationships, and our growth. We say we want truth. But what we often want is certainty. And certainty feels safe. But here's the deeper question: Is certainty even real? In this conversation, we unpack: • Why humans are wired to seek certainty • How identity gets fused with beliefs • What happens in the body when our opinions are challenged • The nervous system's role in defending “being right” • Why curiosity creates expansion, flexibility, and connection In a world obsessed with being right, choosing curiosity is powerful. When we loosen our grip on certainty, we create space for growth, emotional regulation, and deeper connection.

They are the infamous husband-and-wife duo behind “Meet the Freemans” and reach 15–20 million couples every single month with realistic marriage content to actually start growing your relationship with your spouse.

They also unpack how emotional regulation affects both your spouse and your children — and how to actually start communicating in a healthy way by showcasing you're on the “same team”.

Have you ever stopped and thought, Why do I keep getting stuck in the same patterns?Or wondered why midlife brings up so many questions about identity, confidence, and purpose?In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, I'm joined by Drenda Thomas Richards, author of Dare to Remember, for an honest and eye-opening discussion about the stories we've been carrying since childhood — often without even realizing it.We talk about how early messages from family, culture, church, and society quietly shape our beliefs, decisions, and fears in midlife. From feeling “too old” or “not qualified,” to staying quiet, playing small, or believing it's too late — these stories can run the show unless we pause and name them.This episode isn't about fixing yourself.It's about awareness, compassion, and understanding why certain patterns make so much sense.In Part 2, we'll move into faith transitions, grace, and how to begin stepping forward with more freedom and peace.Key Takeaways:Drenda's journey from a strict religious upbringing to discovering her authentic selfHow subconscious beliefs formed in childhood continue to influence adult decisionsCommon midlife stories women carry: “I'm too old,” “I'm not qualified,” “I missed my chance”Fear-based thinking and people-pleasing patternsCultural and church messages that encourage women to stay quiet or play smallWhy awareness is the first step toward freedomConnect with Drenda:https://www.drendathomasrichards.com/Dare to Remember Book Resources:Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/shellyniehaus/Simple Shifts Newsletter: https://midlifemadesimplepodcast.com/tipsWomen Entrepreneurs In Prayer Call - https://midlifemadesimplepodcast.com/prayer
In this solo episode, Christina Lecuyer opens up about the internal tension so many of us feel but rarely name.

What does it look like to coach teachers with humanity, curiosity, and care—especially in today's demanding educational landscape? In this episode of the Time for Teachership podcast, Lindsay welcomes back Dr. Jacobē Bell to explore what it truly means to take a humanizing approach to instructional coaching. Drawing on her experience coaching instructional coaches across multiple contexts, Dr. Bell shares practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real coaching moments that help educators grow while protecting their wellbeing. This conversation is part of a mini-series focused on supporting instructional coaches, particularly those who step into the role without formal preparation and are learning "by fire." What You'll Learn in This Episode/Key Takeaways Humanizing Coaching Coaching is not just about instruction—it's also about emotional awareness, wellness, and meeting educators where they are. Coaches can balance accountability with care by centering teachers as co-producers of knowledge. Afrofuturism, Freedom Dreaming & Coaching Dr. Bell connects Afrofuturism to instructional coaching by imagining a future where educators experience wellness, contentment, and sustainability. A powerful vision: coaching that empowers educators without burning them out. Mindset Shifts from Teacher to Coach Moving from classroom teaching to coaching requires seeing the whole system, not just individual practice. Coaches must navigate adult belief systems, values about students, and differing perspectives—often without making everyone happy. Micro-Modeling as a Coaching Strategy Instead of modeling an entire lesson, Dr. Bell advocates for micro-modeling: Coaches model a short instructional move Teachers immediately practice it with students Coaches give real-time feedback This approach helps shift beliefs about student ability and leads to immediate, tangible growth. Surfacing Beliefs with Curiosity Strategies for navigating hard conversations: Reflecting teachers' words back to them Asking open, curiosity-driven questions Lowering defensiveness by naming uncertainty or even "blaming" your coaching Assuming best intentions opens the door to vulnerability and growth. Live Coaching with Care Live coaching can include gently interrupting or questioning moments of instruction—but only after trust and norms are established. Asking teachers how they prefer to be coached is a critical first step. Authenticity Over One-Size-Fits-All There is no single "right" way to coach. Effective coaching grows from authenticity, relationships, and listening—not rigid formulas. Sustainability & Change Management Dr. Bell shares her current learning focus on sustaining change in schools over time. Sustainable improvement requires planning for longevity from day one—not just short-term wins.

Can your business make a million in one year?Most people will say no. Not because it's impossible, but because they're thinking about it the wrong way. Making your first $1 Million is not about hustle. It's not about stacking side projects. It's not about 14 income streams and burnout disguised as ambition.It's about leverage.Leverage over effort.Outcomes over deliverables.Focus over distraction.If your income is tied directly to your time, you're capped. If you're solving small problems, you're paid small money. If you're scattered across too many offers, too many audiences, too many channels, you're diluted.The path to $1 Million requires three uncomfortable shifts:Obsess over leverage, not effort.Solve a $10 Million problem to earn $1 Million.Go narrower to go bigger with one flagship offer, one defined buyer, and one primary distribution engine.This episode also confronts the uncomfortable truth about wealth: if it costs you your family, your health, or your identity, that's not success. That's ego dressed up as ambition. The real question becomes this: " If you had to build a $1 Million business with only one offer, one audience, and one channel… what would you choose?"Your answer will reveal everything...What You'll Learn:Why leverage beats effort if you want real scaleHow to reverse-engineer $1 Million without the hustle trapThe “solve a $10 Million problem” mindset shiftWhy outcomes sell and deliverables get negotiated downHow focus becomes your unfair advantage when discomfort hitsThe one-offer, one-audience, one-channel test that clarifies everythingHow to build recurring revenue while protecting your energyBeyond The Episode Gems:Buy My Book, Strategize Up: The Blueprint To Scale Your Business: StrategizeUpBook.comDiscover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast NetworkGet Free HubSpot Marketing Tools To Help You Grow Your BusinessGrow Your Business Faster Using HubSpot's CRM PlatformListen to My First Million on the HubSpot Podcast NetworkSupport The Podcast & Connect With Troy: Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/ReviewsFollow Troy's Socials @FindTroy: LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, TikTokSubscribe to Troy's YouTube Channel For Strategy Videos & See Masterclass EpisodesNeed Growth Strategy, A Keynote Speaker, Or Want To Sponsor The Podcast?

What happens when winning stops feeling like enough and achievement quietly turns into a trap? In this mashup episode, I want to talk about something I see all the time with high performers. People who are doing well on the outside but feel empty, restless, or disconnected on the inside. This conversation is about escaping the achievement trap and redefining success in a way that actually brings peace, fulfillment, and joy. I sit down with LeAnn Rimes to unpack what it looks like to grow up chasing validation and applause, only to realize later that external success cannot heal internal wounds. LeAnn opens up about the emotional cost of performing for approval, the courage it takes to slow down, and how self awareness and self compassion became the real breakthroughs in her life. Her honesty is powerful and it speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt pressure to keep proving themselves. I also bring in Rob Dyrdek, who shares how redefining his definition of winning changed everything. Rob talks about shifting from grinding nonstop to building a life by design, where happiness, relationships, and impact matter just as much as productivity. This is a masterclass in intentional living and understanding that fulfillment is not found in the next milestone, but in alignment with who you really are. Throughout this mashup, I break down the mindset shifts that help you move from chasing achievements to creating meaning. We talk about why so many driven people feel unfulfilled, how comparison fuels the trap, and what it actually takes to feel proud of your life, not just your resume. If you have ever thought, I should feel happier than this by now, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Why constant achievement can quietly disconnect you from fulfillment How external validation creates pressure instead of peace The mindset shift from proving yourself to accepting yourself How to redefine success in a way that supports happiness and relationships Why slowing down can actually accelerate clarity and purpose This is about learning to win without losing yourself. It is about success that feels good to live with, not just impressive to look at. My hope is that this episode gives you permission to redefine the game and start playing it in a way that truly serves you.
