    "The more you face these moments of resistance, the easier it gets because you know what to expect of yourself on the other side of it." In this episode, Heather and Renée Warren dive into the uncomfortable reality that, whether you're building a business, growing a personal brand, redefining yourself beyond motherhood, or pursuing a more aligned life, there comes a point where you have to decide whether you're willing to keep moving forward when the excitement fades and resistance takes over. Renée dives into the patterns that cause so many women to lose momentum when seasons change, why waiting for life to get easier keeps you stuck, and the identity shifts that occur when you stop defining yourself solely by what you do for others. This conversation is an invitation to lean into the discomfort of becoming, to trust yourself through the messy middle, and to recognize that every time you move through resistance rather than retreat from it, you build capacity. What to listen for: ☑️ Why you shouldn't throw your habits out the window just because it's summer ☑️ The biggest lesson is building the muscle and being okay when things are ugly ☑️ Navigating the relationship shedding that comes with rising above mediocrity "Summer shows up, and we come up with all these excuses as to why we should take a break or slow down. When you're trying to grow a personal brand, when you're trying to do something differently, there's no place where you can slow the momentum." ☑️ What happens when you remove yourself from what makes you a 'good' mother ☑️ Getting through the resistance that bubbles up when you start using your voice ☑️ How to feel worthy of what you desire without self-sabotaging it "When we start silencing those voices and actually dipping into the things that we want, where we want to go, businesses we want to start, who we want to surround ourselves with, it's like you open up the next abundance portal." ☑️ Why it's so important to surround yourself with people who believe in you ☑️ Putting yourself in the energy of where you want to be and doing things differently ☑️ The invisible pattern of all or nothing and "life will get easier when" changes nothing *** About Renée Warren: Renée Warren is an award-winning entrepreneur, angel investor, author, and the host of the top-rated podcast Into The Wild, which empowers women to grow the fearlessness needed to step into their greatness.

    Understanding the distinction between change and transition is one of the most powerful things a coach can realize. Drawing from a milestone moment in her own life (her husband's retirement), Meg shares how transition is reshaping the way she sees her work, her coaching community, and the urgency of showing up fully right now. Meg walks coaches through a practical framework for helping clients navigate transition, from honoring the ending to trusting the “neutral zone” to anchoring in strengths and values. She also addresses one of the most common and quietly damaging ways coaches stall their own business transitions: hiding from the money conversation and underpricing their services. This episode weaves the person and professional into a single message: Transition is not the obstacle; transition is the invitation to be curious. Making the most of every moment, in life and in business, starts with being fully present to exactly where you are. Meg shares how everything shifted for her on June 5 of this year–a big life transition. Do you know the difference between change and transition? Join us to learn more!

    You ever feel like God's been stripping things away…and you're left wondering what you did wrong? The contract falls through. A longtime friend ghosts you. That "safe" comfort zone? Gone. Your first thought?... "What the heck did I do?" But what if the loss you're experiencing isn't punishment? What if it's preparation? In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™, J.R. tackles one of the hardest realities high-performing, faith-driven men face: Navigating seasons when God removes something they thought they needed. Whether it's a relationship, opportunity, job, client, or season of life, loss has a way of making us question ourselves, our future, and even our faith. But what if God isn't stripping something away because you're failing? What if He's pruning you because He wants you to become more fruitful? This episode is about one powerful truth: God doesn't multiply what you cling to. He multiplies what you surrender. And if you learn how to navigate seasons of subtraction the right way, you may discover they're actually setting the stage for your next breakthrough. In this episode, you'll hear: Why loss isn't always rejection (and is often God's process of refinement). Two personal stories from J.R.'s life that revealed where he was placing his trust. The Biblical principle of pruning and why God sometimes removes good things to prepare us for better things. What Joseph's story teaches us about divine subtraction before multiplication. The neuroscience behind the "amygdala hijack" and why setbacks often trigger emotional overreactions. The science-backed PRY Framework to help you process loss without falling apart. Why surrendering outcomes can reduce anxiety, increase resilience, and improve wellbeing. A powerful mindset shift that will help you stop seeing every setback as a sign that you've messed up. What you'll walk away with… You'll learn how to: Respond to loss with clarity instead of panic. Regulate your emotions when life blindsides you. Reframe setbacks through both a Biblical and psychological lens. Discover what God may be preparing you for (or protecting you from). Let go of control and move forward in faith. Trust that God may be setting you up for your next breakthrough. KEY QUOTES "Stillness is spiritual strength training. You can't be still with an upregulated nervous system." - J.R. "You need to start seeing things from heaven's perspective, not hell's perspective." - J.R. "God doesn't multiply what we cling to. He multiplies what we surrender." - J.R.

    Addiction doesn't stay self-contained — especially in a marriage. In this honest and pastorally rich conversation, Derek, Gabrielle, and John Elmore talk about how to recognize addiction, what it does to a marriage, and what courageous, biblical steps actually look like for both the addict and the spouse who loves them.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS- John described the difference between being "enslaved" to something versus "occasionally enticed" by it. Using that framework, is there anything in your life right now that feels more like enslavement than struggle?- John mentioned several "Ds" of addiction: duration, depth, deceit, destruction, defensiveness, dependency. Are any of those present in your life or your marriage in ways worth naming?- Gabrielle shared that when asked to give up Diet Coke for a year, her reaction surprised her. Is there anything in your life where the thought of giving it up produces a stronger reaction than you'd expect?- John said that "struggling" looks like confessing, feeling convicted, and moving toward accountability — while addiction looks like enjoyment despite destruction. Which of those better describes your relationship with your hardest habit?- If your spouse gently raised a concern about something you're running to, how would you honestly respond — and what might that response reveal?- For the spouse walking alongside an addict: have you carried this alone, or have you brought others in? Who could you call this week?RESOURCES- Freedom Starts Today by John Elmore

    "We did this survey with a third-party consulting group who talked to 2,000 brokers. Their perception was that 25% of bills are going to be balance bills; it's actually 3%."Is Reference-Based Pricing (RBP) still something that just creates endless problems for HR?My guest this week is Jeff Bak, CEO of Imagine360. Jeff brings 30 years of healthcare and private equity experience to the table, and he's leading the charge to rebrand and evolve RBP from a defensive "pay and defend" model into a comprehensive, full-stack alternative health plan.In this episode, we tackle the persistent broker misconceptions surrounding RBP, dissecting exactly why the actual balance bill rate is closer to 3% while plan savings average over 20%. We also explore how Imagine360 blends RBP with strategic direct hospital contracts (like Baylor and Northwestern) to give employees a seamless "PPO-like" experience without the inflated PPO price tag. Jeff also breaks down the reality of the No Surprises Act (NSA) and Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process, and why hospitals are currently winning the majority of those arbitration cases.If you are a benefits consultant or an employer looking to truly break away from the traditional "BUCA" networks, while ensuring your employees aren't stranded with unmanageable balance bills, this conversation is the reality check you need.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

    Leave us a messge!!This week we're pulling back the curtain.A few weeks ago, my subbie and I unexpectedly lost a work-camping position after someone connected us to the podcast and our Female-Led Relationship content.Let THAT soak in...While we don't know every detail behind what happened, it sparked an important conversation about privacy, judgment, and the risks some couples face when their relationship dynamic becomes visible to the outside world. In this episode we talk openly about: Being "outed" because of your relationship dynamic  The judgment that still exists around Female-Led Relationships  Why some couples choose to keep their FLR private  The difference between religious faith and judgment  Navigating major life changes as a team  How our dynamic helped us stay grounded during uncertainty  Why communication matters when life throws you a curveball  Turning setbacks into opportunities One of the biggest takeaways from this experience is that our relationship didn't crack under pressure. When things got difficult, we did what we've always done—we worked together, made a plan, and moved forward.We also discuss a topic that came up inside the FLRSkool community: the very real dangers some people face if their relationship dynamic becomes public knowledge. Depending on family, culture, employment, or community expectations, being "outed" can have consequences far beyond an awkward conversation.At the end of the day, this episode isn't about a campground.It's about authenticity.It's about refusing to be ashamed of a consensual relationship that works for us.And it's about learning that sometimes the thing that feels like a setback ends up pushing you exactly where you needed to go.Get 30 Days of FREE Starlink!!  (

    Larry McCall has been married to his high school sweetheart for more than 50 years and pastored the same church for over 40. He knows firsthand what it takes to enjoy a marriage that lasts. He's also seen the bad things that happen to marriages in the middle and later years. In his book A Seasoned Marriage, he walks couples through the seasons that can quietly undo a marriage: empty nests, adult kids moving back home, aging parents, and the slow drift from spouse to roommate. He and Arlene talk about why putting Christ at the center of marriage matters more than ever as the years go on, and how couples can become closer friends instead of growing apart. If your kids are young, this episode is still for you — what you build now is what you'll have later. 1:28 — Why the gospel has to be at the center of marriage, not just the beginning of it 3:28 — The "happiness trap" — what couples reveal when they pursue divorce 6:39 — When your spouse's faith is weak and you're carrying the marriage alone 8:25 — The story of a woman whose non-Christian husband came to faith after decades of prayer 10:31 — The low point in Larry and Gladine's marriage, and what turned it around 16:02 — Navigating adult kids moving back home without it wedging the marriage 23:38 — The difference between a Christian grandparent and an intentional Christian grandparent Grab a copy of Larry McCall's book: A Seasoned Marriage Learn more about Walking with Jesus Ministries: https://www.walkingwithjesusministries.org/ More Resources from Arlene Pellicane: SUBSCRIBE to Arlene's newsletter "What I'm Learning This Week" and get the checklist, 7 Warning Signs of Screen Overuse.

    How do we navigate health information when we are constantly flooded with opinions, studies, social media advice, expert voices, and "evidence-based" claims? As a family medicine and obesity medicine physician, Dr. Emily vulnerably shares the tension she personally feels between trusting evidence, honoring expert perspective, and learning how to listen to your own body. This episode is not about rejecting science. It's not about ignoring experts. And it's not about "Dr. Google" becoming your primary care provider. It's about slowing down long enough to recognize that health is often more nuanced than one headline, one influencer, one study, or one viral opinion online. Dr. Emily walks through real-life examples involving GLP-1 medications, dementia research, medication side effects, social media health trends, and even her own recent unexplained health journey with severe eye swelling and allergic reactions. Throughout the episode, she explores: The difference between evidence-based medicine and expert interpretation Why studies don't always tell the full story The dangers of oversimplified health advice online How social media algorithms can distort medical conversations Why your body's lived experience matters The importance of slowing down and asking better questions How fear can push us into desperate health decisions The role that prayer, wisdom, discernment, and self-awareness play in healing Dr. Emily also opens up personally about: Navigating ongoing health symptoms without easy answers Working with multiple specialists Learning to trust both medical expertise and body awareness Why she values primary care medicine so deeply The emotional weight of making health decisions in a world full of noise This episode feels less like a lecture and more like sitting down with someone who genuinely wants you to pause, breathe, think critically, and remember that your health journey deserves wisdom — not panic. Because sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop searching for instant answers long enough to actually listen. Your body may need to become the expert first before the internet does.

    Ten straight up weeks, then a sharp pullback — and if you're two to five years on either side of retirement, the fear is real. This is the Retirement Red Zone: the last mile into and out of your retirement date, and the most fragile window in your entire financial life.This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon turn last week's market-history conversation into a practical playbook for anyone near retirement: how to avoid the paralysis that wrecked so many retirements in 2008–2009, and what to actually do right now.What you'll learn:Why a 35-year-old and a 65-year-old should do the opposite thing in a pullbackThe accumulation-to-distribution switch most people don't know existsWhat history says: after 40 sharp selloffs since 1980, markets were higher 75% of the time a year laterSequence-of-returns risk — why the first five years decide everythingBuilding a 1–3 year retirement runway with ~4% cash and T-billsRebalancing a 60/40 that drifted to 75/25Diversifying away from a top-10 that's now 40% of the S&P (8 of them tech)Buffered ETFs — a 20% buffer with a 12–15% cap, explainedFoundational income, annuities, and the tax-aware withdrawal piece most firms skipPlus Money In The News:Consumer prices rose 4.2% annually in May — the highest in three years (CNBC, Jeff Cox)Elon Musk poised to become the first trillionaire — and just how much a trillion dollars really isA top JP Morgan strategist's four ways to prep your portfolio for “considerable danger” (David Kelly)Mentioned on air: Our short sequence-of-returns risk video — watch it at brayshawfinancial.com.Read the companion blog: brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaFull Money On Tap episode library: brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhat is the retirement red zone, and why does it matter? The retirement red zone is the roughly ten-year window covering the five years before and the five years after your retirement date. It matters more than almost any other period because of sequence-of-returns risk: a major market downturn while you're beginning to withdraw income can permanently damage the plan, even if the market later recovers. Two people who invest identically but retire a few years apart can end up with opposite outcomes based solely on timing. Navigating the red zone means shifting from maximizing gains to mitigating losses — stress-testing the plan, building a cash runway, rebalancing, diversifying, and adding guardrails like buffered ETFs and guaranteed income.

    We are back for the second half of our deep-dive review into the straight-sex hockey show that had us laughing, groaning, and hitting pause to jump under the sheets; Amazon Prime's Off-Campus! Lauren and Trey are continuing the conversation by looking past the cringey storyboard edits to examine the surprisingly mature, brave male conversations hidden inside this season.Lauren and Trey use a pivotal plot line from the show to roleplay exactly how to communicate a shift from a casual fling to a deeper romantic craving without violating your partner's boundaries. They tackle the massive cultural myth that finding a partner means your personal growth work is "done" and explore the deep reality of responsive desire, revealing why watching softcore smut together might just be the best erotic life hack for your relationship container.Key Takeaways & Tools ExploredBravery in the "Third Domain": Lauren breaks down a beautiful conversation from Off-Campus where the male characters encourage each other to be vulnerable and state their desires clearly. She explains the therapeutic concept of putting your wants out into the "third domain"; the shared space between two people, without projecting expectations or demands onto the other person's reality.Live Roleplay: Lauren and Trey step into a real-time somatic exercise based on the show's dynamic. They roleplay a scenario where one partner's feelings change during a casual hookup arrangement, demonstrating how to update a partner on internal changes while completely respecting their autonomy and their right to say "no".The Responsive Desire Pleasure Hack: Lauren sheds light on the biological reality of responsive desire, which is incredibly common in female bodies. While some bodies experience spontaneous desire, others require a sexy context to activate. Lauren highly recommends watching shows like Off-Campus or reading smut with your partner as an excellent biological trigger to send attraction-plus-obstacle cues straight to the brain.Are you ready to stop using your partner as a validation machine and step into your sovereign wholeness?

    Why is it so important for Asian Americans to keep loudly sharing their stories? Jerry Won launched Dear Asian Americans, an interview-style podcast, in 2020. He used this growing permissions-free platform to highlight the often overlooked and "unmarketable" stories of Americans from a vast range of backgrounds. Jerry's deliberate volume-based approach—producing 100 episodes in the first year—aimed to get as close to "sufficient coverage" of Asian American experiences as possible and led to cross-country work as a speaker and presenter. It's impossible to tell every story, Jerry acknowledges in his conversation with Mary, since new ones are being created every day and everyone not featured on his show is just as worthy of sharing their life's account. His overarching goal reflects the significance many Asian cultures place on their ancestors, with a future-focused twist: by speaking up, he strives to be the kind of ancestor his kids will be proud to remember. Six years ago, Asian Americans faced backlash from the pandemic's supposed origins. Today, the tear down of DEI in the western world is another source of stifling. That's why Jerry encourages "minority" storytellers to get loud and not stop, "especially on days when the world is trying to silence you." Raise your voice to tell as many diverse stories as possible: How permission-based media built barriers against diverse storytelling; The math behind the miscalculation of Asian American audiences; How Jerry wound up live-interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris; Navigating traditional familial expectations on an untraditional job path.
