Patrick shares how art and martial arts became lifelines that shaped not only his work, but the way he thinks, learns, and moves through the world. Together we explore how discipline, curiosity, and presence can transform trauma into mastery and expression.Some Key Highlights A childhood disruption that changed how Patrick connected to creativityHow martial arts and art function as moving meditations that train the mindThe surprising role discomfort plays in creative and spiritual growthA pivotal critique that completely changed Patrick's artistic directionWhy learning how to learn may be the most important skill of allPatrick's story is a reminder that creativity is not just something we do, but something we live through the body, the mind, and experience.

Have you ever felt weird sliding into someone's DMs?Let's be honest — direct messages can feel personal. Almost intrusive. And with LinkedIn spam and automated bots everywhere, it's easy to assume that DM outreach is sleazy.But what if I told you that the DMs are actually where the magic happens?In this episode of Rocky Mountain Marketing, I sit down with Jenna Larson, co-founder of GroupTrack CRM, to talk about how entrepreneurs can turn organic social media engagement into real revenue — without ads, without going viral, and without a massive following.And the results? Over $1.2 million in revenue last year — zero ad spend.We unpack:Why going viral is overrated for business growthHow to use DMs as a relationship-building tool (not a sales trap)The simple 3-step DM framework that increases response ratesWhy most automation tools fail without follow-upHow to track leads inside Facebook and Instagram without losing your mindThe exact message template that triples responsesTimestamps:[00:00:00] – Why DMs Feel Awkward (But Drive Sales)[00:04:30] – $1.2M with No Ads or Viral Posts[00:08:05] – Why Automation Alone Doesn't Convert[00:10:40] – The First DM You Should Always Send[00:16:00] – The 1-Line DM That Triples Responses[00:19:00] – How to Uncover Needs Without Being Pushy[00:22:00] – The Simple Follow-Up That Closes Sales[00:24:50] – How to Start DM Conversations with Small Audiences[00:28:40] – Turning 900 Followers into Revenue[00:31:30] – Where to Learn the Organic DM SystemIf you're tired of “post and pray” marketing, this episode will completely shift how you see social media.Because the truth is — you don't need more followers.You need better follow-up.Visit Jenna Larson's social media pages:Website: https://www.grouptrackcrm.com/homeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenna-larson-41659827/Learn more about Katie and Next Step Social & Podcasting:Speaking: https://katiebrinkley.com/Website: https://www.nextstepsocial.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiebrinkleyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/@rockymountainmarketingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkatiebrinkley/ Hosted on Acast.

Let us know what's on your mindThe energy around women's sport in Ireland is real—and it's at a tipping point. We sit down with Nora Stapleton and Bethany Carson to unpack what's working, where momentum is fragile, and how the “same energy” theme can turn a good week into lasting change. From balanced boards to booming social leagues, the story isn't just growth—it's about building cultures where women feel valued on the pitch, on the sideline, and in the boardroom.We dig into the four pillars guiding progress: active participation, leadership and governance, coaching and officiating, and visibility. Nora shares how funding, mentoring networks, and a renewed leadership framework helped lift board representation to about 48% women—proof that targeted action works. Then we face the hard part: culture. Representation alone doesn't fix rooms where old habits still crowd new voices. Bethany explores how allyship, education, and practical supports can make meetings productive, coaching pathways fair, and officiating roles more attractive and safer for women.Visibility remains the toughest nut to crack. Big moments—the Rugby World Cup, Six Nations, and packed domestic fixtures—pull new fans in, but sustainable change needs consistent coverage, smart scheduling, and storytelling that treats women's sport as sport. We also highlight the rise of social sport—basketball blitzes, Gaelic for Mothers and Others, and more—giving women team bonds without the heavy time ask, keeping them connected to clubs and community. Add in new school resources to spark conversations and you have a pathway that starts earlier and lasts longer.If you care about moving from momentum to normal, this conversation offers the roadmap: measure what matters, fund what works, fix culture, and keep the spotlight on.

That tool would eventually become Manta Cares: a personalized, cancer-specific platform designed to give patients and care partners the thing most people never get—a map.In this candid, founder-to-founder conversation, Laura and Samira explore:Being diagnosed with breast cancer during COVIDWorking through chemo and surgery while leading critical healthcare programsDeciding whether to stay on hormone therapy—and living with that choiceWhy cancer care feels like being dropped into a hike without a mapHow patient-built tools can restore agency, clarity, and peace of mindThe emotional cost of fixing a system that failed youWhat's next for Manta Cares, including mobile tools and AI companionsThis episode is for anyone who has ever thought: There has to be a better way.Support the showLatest News: Become a Breast Cancer Conversations+ Member!

Send us a textIf you've ever tried to silence your inner critic by sheer willpower, only to end up overwhelmed, anxious, or spiraling into imposter syndrome, this episode is for you.This week, Angela and Sami unpack the truth about the inner critic. Spoiler alert: it's not about getting rid of it. In fact, trying to push that voice away can sometimes make it come back louder and stronger. So instead of firing your inner critic, what if you gave it a new job?In this honest and insightful conversation, they explore how the inner critic actually forms as a protection mechanism, how to recognize when it's driving your decisions, and how to reframe your relationship with it. You'll learn how to stop letting fear and self-doubt take the wheel without swinging into toxic positivity or avoidance.Plus, you'll hear why Angela thinks of her inner world like a nonprofit boardroom (complete with term limits), how Sami gives a voice to the quieter parts of herself, and why both believe your eight-year-old and your 80-year-old selves should absolutely have a seat at the table.Key takeaways from this episode:What the inner critic really is and why it shows up when you try to growWhy suppressing self-doubt often backfires and leads to panic or burnoutHow to invite other helpful voices into your mental space, not just the loudest oneA powerful mental exercise to identify the "board members" in your mindThe difference between resisting the inner critic and reframing its roleWhy having compassion for all parts of yourself is crucial for personal growthThis episode is packed with mindset wisdom, real-life examples, and practical tools to help you shift from self-criticism to self-leadership.

What if you could actually enjoy this time of year—without the resentment, exhaustion, or crushing mental load?In this timely and honest episode of The School of Midlife, Laurie shares a powerful coaching conversation with a client who realized she was doing the holidays on autopilot—baking cookies no one eats, mailing cards no one remembers, and hosting a party that felt more like pressure than pleasure.Together, they walk through how to tell the difference between a holiday obligation and a true opportunity—and how to make peace with letting go of traditions that no longer serve you.If you're tired of performing your way through the holidays (while secretly counting down to when it's over), this episode is your permission slip to do things differently this year.

What if 40% of the patients walking into doctor's offices have real, debilitating symptoms—but nothing physically wrong with their bodies?Dr. David Clarke has spent decades proving this isn't "all in your head." It's in your brain—and it's changeable. After treating over 7,000 patients with mysterious chronic conditions, earning Doctor of the Year honors, and authoring the groundbreaking book They Can't Find Anything Wrong, Dr. Clarke has become one of the leading voices in stress illness recovery. His work reveals why gold-standard research centers are now showing remarkable outcomes for conditions that baffled medicine for generations.In this episode, you'll discover:Why your chronic symptoms might be a form of communication from your mindThe surprising childhood patterns that predict adult illness decades laterHow one woman's 60 hospitalizations ended when she identified a single triggerThe "butterfly on the wall" exercise that unlocks buried emotional truthWhy writing a letter you never send can eliminate years of physical painThe personality traits that make mentally strong people more vulnerable to stress illnessHow the brain physically changes when emotional wounds are finally addressedThe missing self-care skill that prevents full recoveryIf you've been suffering for months, years, or even decades with symptoms that doctors can't explain... if you've been told "there's nothing wrong" while your body screams otherwise... this episode is your permission slip to believe what you've always sensed: your pain is real, AND there's a way out.Dr. Clarke's patients have recovered from 55 years of abdominal pain. From decades of unexplained symptoms. From conditions so severe they required hospitalization and round-the-clock morphine. Not through more tests or medications—but by finally understanding what their bodies were trying to say.The most powerful truth in this conversation? You're not broken. You're not weak. You're actually stronger than average—you've just been carrying weight no one should have to carry alone. And once you learn to set that weight down, you don't just lose the pain. You gain the life you were always meant to live.

What if the very things Satan uses to whisper, “you're too broken, too messy, too late” are the exact things God wants to use to bless His children?In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, Maurice Harker (founder of Life Changing Services and creator of the Spiritual Psychology Masterclass) dives into the psychology behind fear, perfectionism, and “I'll just mess it up” thinking. From mission stories in Detroit to the story of Martin Harris and the 116 pages, Maurice explains how perfect love casteth out fear and why God invites us into His work knowing full well that we are still in process.You'll hear powerful insights on seeing yourself as one vital chess piece on God's board, learning when to move and when to “hold still,” and why your anger at the pain in the world is actually a form of Christlike love when it drives you to get tools to those who are suffering. Maurice and Markel also share about their new “Phase 3” effort—a project to turn deeply wounded, resilient Latter-day Saint women into an army of healers and creators who bring hope to others.

Alcohol is the world's most socially accepted toxin — a substance woven into our rituals, relationships, and celebrations, yet responsible for immeasurable physical, emotional, and societal harm. What happens when we finally confront that truth?In this episode, we sit down with Professor David Nutt, neuropsychopharmacologist, author, and founder of GABA Labs, to explore alcohol's hidden toll on the human terrain — from cellular toxicity and neuroinflammation to cultural indoctrination and addiction.David explains how alcohol damages nearly every system in the body, why our governments and industries continue to protect it, and how his groundbreaking work is offering a path forward. Through Sentia, a functional, non-alcoholic alternative designed to replicate alcohol's social and relaxing effects without the poison, David and his team are reimagining what it means to connect, unwind, and celebrate — consciously.We discuss:Why alcohol remains the most harmful drug in Western societyThe biological and social mechanisms behind addictionHow alcohol reshapes the terrain at every level — from the liver to the mindThe emerging movement toward functional, toxin-free social drinkingSentia, GABA Labs, and the future of conscious convivialityListen in as we uncover the paradox of the terrain toxin we celebrate — and the promise of a future beyond it.Learn more about Dave and his work at: https://gabalabs.com.Learn more about Sentia at http://www.sentiaspirits.com/ and follow them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/sentiaspirits/.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

Wisdom, practices and stories to help you return to you. As autumn creeps in, nature begins its shift — and so do we. According to Ayurvedic wisdom, we are inextricably linked to the natural world. Whatever happens outside in nature is also happening inside of us, impacting our body, mind, and spirit.In this episode, we explore how the season of Vata — represented by space and air — influences our energy, emotions, digestion, and overall sense of balance. Fall brings dry winds, cooler temperatures, and shorter days, which can leave us feeling scattered, anxious, restless, or even experiencing sleep disturbances.But there's good news: when we understand these seasonal shifts, we can work with them instead of against them. Ayurveda gives us tools to return to balance by bringing in qualities opposite of Vata — stability, warmth, grounding, and nourishment.

Ever feel like you're never doing enough? Like no matter how hard you push, it's still not quite right? In this raw, unfiltered episode of The Sesh, Brandon and Jesse open up about mental health, identity, and the pressure to “be a man” in a world where value is measured in dollars and hustle.From therapy trauma to motorcycle zen, from fear of failure to full-send purpose, this one's not just another feel-good chat — it's a reality check wrapped in laughs, weed, and real talk.In this episode:Why survival mode can be the most peaceful state of mindThe fear behind not going all inUnpacking conditional love and self-worthMasculinity, body image, and the unspoken pressure men faceTRT, gym culture, and doing “slightly gay shit” for male approvalThe Alchemist, purpose, and building something that actually mattersWhy your worth isn't tied to a paycheckVibe check: vulnerable, hilarious, and uncomfortably relatable

In this heartfelt episode, Wendi Bergin opens up about why she chose the name Joyfully Prepared and what being the Joyful Prepper truly means to her.She shares how preparedness runs deep in her family history—from her grandfather's 1,800 jars of food in 1938, to her own teenage canning adventures. But she also gets honest about how, as a young mom, her preparedness message was once rooted in fear and “doom and gloom.”A single question from a friend during a playdate forced Wendi to rethink everything: “Why do you always talk about the doom and gloom?”That moment planted the seed for change.Today, she explains how she transformed her approach, why she believes preparedness is an act of love and faith, and why failure (and laughter) have an essential place in this lifestyle.Whether you're new to preparedness or a seasoned homesteader, this episode is an invitation to trade panic for planning, fear for faith, and perfectionism for grace.Listen in and discover:Why success isn't as funny (or as helpful) as failureHow being prepared can bring real peace of mindThe importance of letting go of control and making space for graceWhy you deserve to be joyfully preparedJoin Wendi for an honest, encouraging conversation that will remind you: you can't plan for everything—but you can always choose to show up with love.Website: www.joyfullprepared.comFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/joyfulprepInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulprepper/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/selfreliantmoms/I
