Ep 196: Why Successful Women Make Money but Don't Build Wealth — with Michelle TaylorBuilding a successful business and building personal wealth are not the same thing.In this episode of Dawn of a New Era: The Billionaire Brain Podcast, Dawn McGruer is joined by Michelle Taylor, founder of Women in Wealth, host of Talk Wealthy to Me, and a licensed wealth manager specialising in working with business owners.Michelle's own journey into wealth management was anything but conventional. After changing career direction, moving to Italy and experiencing failed business ventures, she eventually discovered that those experiences had uniquely equipped her to help women understand money, investing and wealth creation.Dawn and Michelle explore one of the biggest financial challenges facing successful founders: how to turn business success into personal wealth.Michelle explains why your company should never be your entire retirement or wealth-building strategy, why founders need to start building assets outside their businesses from the beginning, and how to think differently about cash once your company becomes profitable.They also dive into the psychology behind money. Michelle shares how our personal money stories can shape the level of wealth we allow ourselves to create, while Dawn discusses wealth identity, founder conditioning and why increasing your income does not automatically change your financial behaviour.In this episode, you'll discover:Why making more money doesn't automatically mean you're building wealthWhen founders should start investing outside their businessWhy Michelle believes you need an “and” mindset rather than an “or” mindset with business and personal wealthHow to decide when to take money out of your business and deploy it elsewhereWhy successful founders need to understand their operating cash “floor”How money stories and wealth identity can quietly limit financial growthWhy passive income can completely change the way you think about financial freedomThe growing interest in private credit, private equity and alternative investmentsWhy women may be holding significantly more cash than they actually needThe three wealth rules Michelle believes every female founder should considerWhy wealthy people learn to treat money as a tool rather than an emotional decisionHow compounding can transform both your finances and your behaviourWhy talking openly about money may be one of the simplest ways to improve your financial educationMichelle also shares the uncomfortable moment that changed her relationship with money forever: returning from Italy at 26 and discovering she didn't have enough money available to buy a $4 magazine. That experience became one of the catalysts behind the work she does today helping women create their own wealth journeys and build generational wealth.Her final message is simple: talk about money.Ask questions. Talk to your friends. Find out what other people are learning, investing in and doing with their money. You don't know what you don't know — and one conversation could change the financial trajectory of more than one woman.Connect with Michelle TaylorInstagram: @itsShellTaylorWomen in Wealth: @women_in_wealthPodcast: Talk Wealthy to MeWebsite: womeninwealth.co

What if simply allowing yourself to imagine something different could change the energy of your relationship—and your life—before you ever actually did anything?In this episode, JJ Flizanes is joined once again by Doug Sandler for a candid continuation of their conversation about sexual chemistry, intimacy, desire, manifestation, and what has shifted dramatically in their relationship over the last 30 days.And here's the surprising part: the biggest transformation didn't begin with an action. It began with an idea.A sexual fantasy opened the door to conversations, anticipation, vulnerability, excitement, fear, and an entirely different energy between JJ and Doug. That experience became a real-life example of something JJ has taught for years through the Law of Attraction: if you want to experience a new reality, you have to begin accessing the thoughts, emotions, and energy of that reality before you have physical evidence that it exists.JJ and Doug also explore a question most of us rarely stop to consider:Who actually taught you how to have sex?Most people receive very little education about sexual pleasure, communication, desire, or understanding their own bodies. Yet somehow, we're expected to enter relationships knowing what we want—and knowing how to give our partner what they want.Doug shares openly about the male perspective, including performance anxiety, the pressure to know how to please your partner, and what happens when your partner doesn't necessarily know how to tell you what they want either.JJ also explores the connection between sexual energy, creativity, relationships, manifestation, the nervous system, and physical health—and why sexual expression may be an important part of the bigger conversation about whole-person health.This episode isn't simply about having more sex. It's about becoming curious about the parts of yourself you may never have explored, creating enough safety in a relationship to communicate honestly, and allowing yourself to try on a new possibility.Because sometimes you don't have to know exactly where something is going. Giving yourself permission to imagine, explore, and try something new may be enough to shift your energy—and begin creating a completely different experience.In This Episode:How one fantasy changed the energy of JJ and Doug's relationshipWhy anticipation and imagination can be incredibly powerfulHow to use Law of Attraction to access a reality that doesn't exist yetWhy trying something new can change the way you think, feel, and behaveWhy most adults were never actually taught how to have good sexSexual exploration and discovering what turns you onWhy your partner may not know how to tell you what they needThe pressure men can experience around sexual performanceHow sexual dissatisfaction can affect the rest of a relationshipThe connection between sexual energy, creativity, vitality, and healthCreating safety for honest conversations with your partnerWhy these same principles can apply to sex, money, health, career, and other areas of your lifeResources Mentioned:Download JJ's Feelings & Needs List:https://jjflizanes.com/feelingslistLearn more about The Five Levels to Restore Health:https://jjflizanes.com/restoreReady to work with JJ?

Workplace wellness is about much more than step challenges, gym memberships, and occasional health initiatives. The everyday employee experience matters.On this episode of The H.I.T. Podcast, Toby Kennedy sits down with Andrea “Andy” Notch Mayzeles, Workforce Health Consultant at Kaiser Permanente, to discuss how organizations can build wellness strategies that actually become part of their workplace culture.With more than a decade of experience at Kaiser Permanente, Andy shares practical ways employers can assess their current wellness efforts, get employees involved, build leadership support, and integrate health and well-being throughout the organization.In this episode:How benchmarking and scorecards can reveal where your wellness strategy standsWhy employee wellness shouldn't live exclusively within HRHow wellness committees and employee champions can drive engagementWhy organizations should regularly ask employees what they actually needThe powerful trickle-down effect of leaders modeling healthy behaviorsThe business case for wellness—from retention and healthcare costs to absenteeism and productivityHow to make mental health part of the everyday employee experienceSmall, practical wellness rituals that managers can incorporate into their teamsOne of the biggest takeaways? A quarterly wellness challenge can't make up for an unhealthy day-to-day work experience. Managers and leaders play a critical role in creating an environment where employees can thrive.Andy also discusses Kaiser Permanente's Mental Fitness Toolkit, designed to help organizations incorporate simple, achievable mental wellness practices into the regular rhythm of work.

Should the Chicago Bulls take a swing on Cam Whitmore after Cleveland waived him?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why the Bulls' potential connection to Cam Whitmore should be treated as logical speculation — not confirmed reporting. There is currently no credible report that Chicago has contacted Whitmore or plans to submit a waiver claim, but the fit is worth discussing because the Bulls have an open roster spot, need bench scoring, and have already been connected to several scorer types this offseason.Haize explains why Whitmore should interest Chicago. He is still only 22, has NBA scoring production on his résumé, and brings the downhill athleticism, transition force, physicality and self-created scoring upside the Bulls failed to land with names like Bennedict Mathurin, Jonathan Kuminga and Sylvain Francisco.But this is not a no-brainer. Whitmore's season ended because of an upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, meaning any Bulls pursuit must begin with a serious medical evaluation. Chicago also has to decide whether adding Whitmore helps the rebuild by creating legitimate competition — or complicates the development path for Dailyn Swain, Jaylin Sellers, Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller, Patrick Williams and Noa Essengue.Then Haize shifts to a bigger roster question: is the Bulls' depth being overlooked? Chicago may have 12 or 13 players capable of contributing, but the real question is how many of them Tiago Splitter can actually trust. The Bulls have plenty of playable bodies, but their bench still lacks the kind of proven scoring punch that separates the East's best second units.Haize breaks down why Tre Jones is Chicago's most dependable reserve, why Jalen Smith and Zach Collins give the Bulls frontcourt insurance, why the wing depth is more uncertain than it looks, and why Rob Dillingham may be the swing player who decides whether Chicago's bench is closer to top-seven in the East or stuck in the bottom half.

73% of business owners who say they're ready to sell are missing at least one of the two numbers required to know if a sale will actually work. In this episode, David breaks down a new data study of 10,548 business owner assessments and lays out the Readiness 360 — the three questions every owner has to answer honestly before they sit across from a buyer. Are you personally ready to let go? Is your business actually ready to be sold? And does the math even work?What You'll LearnThe two numbers every owner needs before they can know if a sale will work — and why 73% of owners are missing at least oneWhy even owners who did the homework still get bad news: 1 in 5 discover their business is worth less than they needThe “pushed vs. pulled” problem — why burnout and stress are driving more exits than actual planningWhy 25% of owners can't name a single thing they're excited about after the sale, and what that means for a dealThe eight drivers that determine whether your business survives buyer diligence — separate from how much cash it generatesTimestamps0:00 — Cold open: You've decided to sell.

What if the wisdom you keep searching for is already yours?Mari Wuellner did what many of us were taught to do: work hard, build the business, earn the recognition, care for the family, and keep moving. From the outside, her life looked successful. From the inside, she was operating on a blueprint that no longer felt like her own.After a panic attack forced her to slow down, Mari began redefining success around freedom, joy, rest, and choices she could genuinely claim as hers. That journey eventually took her back to Florence, where she had lived as a pregnant 20-year-old during one of the hardest seasons of her life.Mari returned with the journal she had kept all those years ago. She planned to write back to her younger self with the wisdom of experience. Instead, she discovered that the young woman she had been still carried the hope her present-day self needed.In this conversation, Kimberly and Mari explore:How conventional success can quietly become default modeWhy so many of us wait for permission we do not actually needThe difference between outside recognition and inner freedomWhat old journals and earlier versions of ourselves can revealMari's define, design, and demand frameworkWhy an unsuccessful experiment is information, not an indictmentHow to build work around life instead of sacrificing life to workMari is an entrepreneur, storyteller, life coach, and founder of The Crew Coaching Collective.

Women's Cycling & Homeward Pikes Peak What do cycling and community change have in common? According to Beth Roalstad, they both bring people together, build trust, and create opportunities to change lives.My longtime friend Beth Roalstad, CEO of Homeward Pikes Peak, talks about two of her greatest passions: cycling and building stronger communities. We discuss how Beth discovered cycling, what she's learned from more than 20 years of cycling and building community in Colorado Springs, and why she launched the Wednesday Women's Ride at Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort. She shares why women-only rides create such a special sense of encouragement, friendship, and belonging for riders of all experience levels.As a longtime social worker, Beth also offers a thoughtful perspective on homelessness in Colorado Springs. She explains how seeing the person first—not just the circumstance—can help create real change. We talk about practical, compassionate ways cyclists and trail users can respond when encountering someone experiencing homelessness, and how to connect people with trained outreach professionals instead of simply moving on.Host: Torie Giffin, Owner Buffalo Lodge Bicycle ResortGuest: Beth Roalstad, CEO Homeward Pikes Peak & Leader Wednesday Women's Ride.

AI tools are everywhere right now, and the ergonomics world is not immune to the hype. Some healthcare professionals are already looking to AI to do their assessments, generate their reports, and identify ergonomic risk on their behalf. And Darcie Jaremey has something to say about that. In this episode, Darcie makes a clear, direct argument: if you are relying on an AI tool to replace your clinical judgment in an ergonomics assessment, you are putting your clients, your reputation, and your business at serious risk. A one-size-fits-all AI report will not capture the intricacies of a specific workstation, cannot perform a true root cause analysis, and cannot defend you if a client is harmed and the matter goes to litigation.But this is not an anti-AI episode. Darcie also covers exactly where AI belongs in an ergonomics practice: as an efficiency tool on the front end of report writing, never as a replacement for your expertise.What you'll take away:Why office ergonomics is in-demand right now and why your expertise is the thing businesses actually needThe real risk of outsourcing your assessment thinking to a tool you don't controlWhat happens to your client data when you put it into a third-party AI platformWhy the details in your report are the exact thing clients can't replicate themselvesThe three tools inside Accelerate that add efficiency without replacing judgment: the swipe file, the equipment database, and the PHI redactor•       Why mentorship beats AI every time when you're building your ergonomics foundation If you've been wondering whether AI could shortcut the process of learning to do ergonomics assessments well, this episode will give you a straight answer. Resources mentioned in this episode:Ergonomics Blueprint (learn how to do office ergonomics assessments): ergonomicshelp.comAccelerate: The Business of Ergonomics (membership with tools, mentorship, and community): ergonomicshelp.com/bizOSHA Injury Cost Estimator: osha.govIf you're a healthcare professional and this episode got your wheels turning about office ergonomics - good.

Reactive hiring creates desperate hiring, and desperate hiring creates bad hiring decisions. Most small businesses only hire when they're already drowning - the worst possible time to hire well. Workforce planning is the system that gets you ahead of it.In this episode, Kerri walks through:Why hiring is what you do, but workforce planning is how you decide whether, when, and what role you actually needThe three most common strategic hiring mistakes (starting with hiring a person instead of a role)Capacity problem vs. capability problem - and why adding headcount won't fix a skills gapThe 4 signals that tell you a new hire is genuinely justifiedThe role clarity test to run before you post any jobThe 2x Exercise for structuring roles for growth, plus simple succession planning for small teamsYOUR ACTION ITEM: Run the 2x Exercise this week - draw your org chart today, then draw it at double your current revenue, and the new roles that appear are your next hires in priority order.If you're about to hire under pressure, take the free HR Audit to see whether your people systems are actually set up to support a good hire before you post the job. → saltandlightadvisors.com/hrauditResources to keep building:

What if you could choose exactly which days you work, which clients you see, and even when you're home for your kids after school? Today's guest did exactly that.I'm thrilled to introduce you to Heidi Miller, a speech-language pathologist and the founder of HMS & Associates in New Jersey. Heidi has built a boutique, multi-location private practice known for its highly specialized, relationship-driven care with clinics in Florham Park, Park Ridge, and most recently Oakland.But here's what makes her story so different: She didn't start with a grand vision of multiple clinics. She started with a clear vision of three days a week.With over 25 years of experience, Heidi has worked across a range of clinical settings before opening her first in-person clinic 15 years ago. Today, her practice focuses on pediatric feeding disorders, ARFID, apraxia, and myofunctional therapy with an emphasis on advanced, evidence-based treatment and individualized care. She remains closely involved in mentoring her team and shaping the clinical standards across all three locations, ensuring a consistently high level of care.Outside of patient care, Heidi is passionate about building a private practice model that blends clinical excellence with strong family partnerships — creating a trusted, referral-based brand where children, families, and clinicians can truly thrive. She also creates continuing education courses for other therapists and is a mom to three kids.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How she slowly and systematically built a niche practice around her actual passionsWhy saying "no" to clients outside your specialty actually grows your reputation fasterHow she opened a second location not by throwing a dart at a map, but by following one family's needThe simple way she retains therapists for years letting them reset their schedules every summer and school yearHeidi's story is proof that you don't have to choose between being a present parent and a successful practice owner. She didn't throw a dart at a map. She followed the need, trusted her skills, and built a practice that fits her life — not someone else's idea of success.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom without burning out?

 In this deeply personal conversation on Intimate Conversations with Men, Coach Alex VanHouten joins Elena for an honest discussion about pain, faith, fatherhood, masculinity, suffering, and the body as a gift to steward.Alex shares how living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome—a painful genetic disorder affecting collagen, joints, connective tissue, and digestion—shaped his path as an exercise scientist and faith-based health coach. Rather than seeing pain only as an enemy, Alex explains how pain can become a teacher, a signal, and even a doorway into courage, endurance, and purpose.Together, Alex and Elena explore:How pain can function as feedback rather than failureWhy men often hide pain, weakness, or needThe connection between pain, identity, and self-worthWhy endurance and courage are essential for healingHow fathers help boys learn to face challenge and difficultyWhy safe play, sport, and male mentorship matter for boysThe story behind Faithful FitnessHow faith and rationality work together in health and fitnessWhy the body is a gift to steward—not a problem to escapeWhat to do when suffering feels overwhelmingWhy you are valuable, loved, and not done yetThis conversation also touches on grief, suicide, depression, chronic illness, and the importance of speaking the truth about pain instead of carrying it alone.If you have ever felt broken, limited, discouraged, or unsure whether your body can still become stronger, this episode is for you.You are not done yet.Be faithful.God is not done with you.Timestamps00:00 – Welcome to Intimate Conversations with Men02:04 – Meet Coach Alex VanHouten02:52 – Living With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome04:50 – How Pain Became a Teacher06:40 – Pain as Feedback, Not Failure07:31 – Endurance and Courage09:35 – Helping Children Face Pain Without Fear12:19 – What Adults Should Do When Pain Shows Up14:38 – Deciding How to Face Pain Today17:34 – Choosing Your Emotional Posture Toward Pain18:52 – Why Men Struggle to Be Seen in Pain20:56 – Coaching Men and Women Differently24:08 – How Fathers Help Boys Face Challenge26:33 – What Kickboxing Taught Alex About Masculinity29:23 – Why Boys Need Safe Difficulty32:08 – Advice for Mothers Raising Boys35:00 – Why Alex Created Faithful Fitness36:40 – Belief, Diabetes, Cookies, and Self-Sabotage38:48 – Why Pleasure Can Hide Pain39:27 – Faith, Science, and Coaching People From Different Backgrounds42:00 – Helping People With Physical Challenges Begin Again45:02 – Why Compassion Matters in Coaching47:48 – “You're Not Done Yet”49:23 – Alex Shares About Losing His Brother52:06 – Why Naming Pain Reduces Its Power55:51 – Where to Find Faithful Fitness58:02 – Rapid Fire Questions01:07:06 – Closing PrayerCheck out Christian Workout/Running music by Faithful Fitness:

Third-party IVF is getting bigger, but are clinics actually getting better at it?Or are some efforts to streamline the process creating new risks for patients?Dr. Allison Bloom of Main Line Fertility and Dr. Daniel Shapiro of Reproductive Biology Associates (RBA) discuss what separates a clinic that offers third-party reproduction from one that truly excels at it.We dive into:The push to streamline third-party IVF (and where corners may be getting cut)The technology stack donor & surrogacy programs needThe gaps in today's EMRs and what needs to changeEmerging trends around known donorsNew thinking on anonymous vs. de-identified donationOne thing each physician believes clinics should start (or stop) doing to become a third-party IVF powerhouseAs third-party reproduction becomes more common, the operational, ethical, and technological challenges become harder to ignore.

Stop trying to earn donor trust with polished updates.In this episode, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at a training I recently led inside Courage Lab. These are the kinds of conversations we have with nonprofit leaders who are serious about raising more money and leading at a higher level.This is Part 1 of a teaching on Million Dollar Success Principles. Not tactics. Not donor hacks. The deeper truths I've learned from raising millions of dollars, learning from incredible mentors, and watching successful nonprofit leaders do this work over and over again.We talk about trust, donor behavior, leadership, vision, and why so many organizations unintentionally create the fundraising problems they complain about. Some of these ideas might sting a little. That's okay. The truth tends to do that.If you want bigger gifts, stronger donor relationships, and more sustainable fundraising, this episode will challenge how you think about donors and your role as a leader.What you'll learn in this episodeWhy honest donor communication builds more trust than polished success storiesHow constantly sharing wins can actually weaken donor confidenceThe real reason donors ask for restricted gifts and more controlWhy trust, not control, is the foundation of major donor relationshipsHow a clear long-term vision helps you raise larger and multi-year giftsWhy donors stop giving when they run out of future with your organizationThe connection between strategic planning and major gift fundraisingHow donor behavior often reflects the leadership they're receivingWhy donors only know what you tell them and give based on what you ask forThe fundraising mistakes leaders make when they assume donors know what they needThe leaders who raise the most money are willing to tell the truth.They trust donors with the real story. They paint a compelling future. And they take responsibility for leading donor behavior instead of blaming it. That's what creates trust, partnership, and transformational giving.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

Welcome to another episode of the Data Debrief, the companion show to Driven by Data: The Podcast, where hosts Catherine Dowden-King and Kyle Winterbottom unpack Tuesday's episode, share what's been on their minds, and explore the realities of leadership, culture, and capability across the data and AI landscape.This week, Catherine and Kyle reflect on the conversation with Dru Patel from the FA, diving deeper into the human side of data leadership, from storytelling and self-awareness to the commercial realities of what it actually takes to succeed at the executive level.They cover:Why Dru Patel's approach to storytelling and communication stood out as one of the most compelling conversations the podcast has hosted to dateHow technical capability alone has become “table stakes” in data leadership, and why the differentiator is now influence, communication, and the ability to shape perceptionWhy “soft skills” might be the most damaging phrase in the industry, and how cultural buy-in and human-centred leadership are often the real drivers of ROIThe uncomfortable reality that working hard and being technically brilliant doesn't automatically lead to progression, and why self-awareness is becoming a critical leadership traitHow data leaders can shift conversations away from platforms, dashboards, and governance, and toward decisions, business outcomes, and commercial impactWhy organisations still struggle with the perception of data teams as back-office technical functions, and how that perception shapes hiring, mandates, and ultimately failureThe difference between data literacy and data culture, and why culture is what happens when nobody is watchingHow lived experience, industry context, and organisational history shape expectations around data quality, trust, and value creationWhy many CDO mandates continue to fail, not because the individuals lack capability, but because organisations hire for technical delivery while expecting commercial transformationThe growing disconnect between what data leaders are hired to do and what boards actually expect them to achieveThey also dig into the future of data leadership and organisational accountability:Why businesses are now entering their third, fourth, and even fifth iteration of the CDO role, and what those repeated resets reveal about the maturity of the marketHow hiring behaviour has unintentionally incentivised technical specialisation over commercial leadership for more than a decadeWhy asking questions around decisions, KPIs, revenue targets, and business performance during interviews can quickly reveal an organisation's true perception of data leadershipKyle's thought of the week: why the debate around failed CDO mandates is becoming too polarised between “it's the organisation's fault” and “it's the individual's fault,” and why the reality sits somewhere in the middleCatherine's thought of the week: what happened after asking LinkedIn for web developer recommendations, and what the overwhelming response revealed about vendor outreach, personalisation, and the growing problem of AI-generated sales noiseThey also discuss:Why AI has enabled many organisations to operate “badly at scale, but faster”How senior leaders increasingly avoid broad vendor engagement unless there is an immediate needThe importance of building trusted communities where candid conversations can happen openly and safelyWhy Orbition Group's private membership community continues to grow as leaders look for more meaningful peer-to-peer discussion away from the public spotlightThis episode is a candid exploration of the skills gap that rarely gets discussed in data and AI leadership, not the technical gap, but the commercial, cultural, and human capability gap that increasingly determines who succeeds, who gets overlooked, and why so many organisations still struggle to realise value from data.

“I THIRST” | The Fifth Saying of Jesus on the CrossLast words are always significant and revealing, and nowhere is that more true than at the cross.In this message, we explore one of the most simple yet powerful statements Jesus made during His crucifixion: “I thirst.” (John 19:28–30)At first glance, it's just two words. No parable. No long teaching.But within this short statement, we see both the full humanity of Jesus and the depth of His divine mission. After enduring unimaginable suffering, trials, beatings, and crucifixion, Jesus speaks from a place of deep physical thirst. Yet this moment is far more than physical…It's spiritual.It's prophetic.It's personal.The same Jesus who once said, “Come to Me and drink”… now says, “I thirst.”Why? Because on the cross, He took on our sin, our emptiness, and our spiritual dryness.

Send a textPart Two – Is Your Ladder Leaning Against the Wrong Wall? | Richard Mobley on Leadership and CallingIn Part Two of this powerful conversation, Richard Mobley dives deeper into what happens when success no longer satisfies — and how leaders can unknowingly climb the wrong ladder.After decades of corporate advancement, Richard reached a season of fatigue and uncertainty.  What followed wasn't a dramatic “eureka” moment, but a squiggly journey of rediscovery.  Through consulting, real estate ventures, and personal reflection, he uncovered a deeper truth: fulfillment isn't found in constant upward motion — it's found in alignment.This episode explores:Why the line of success is rarely straightHow leaders develop a false fear of failureThe difference between healthcare and healthcare financeWhy “follow your passion” can be misleading adviceThe Hebrew concept of Avodah — work as worshipHow calling happens at the intersection of gifting and needThe power of evaluated experience over experience aloneRichard challenges leaders to stop measuring success by Wall Street metrics or cultural expectations.  Instead, he invites us to ask:Is my ladder leaning against the right wall?During the conversation, Richard references Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words spoken in Birmingham:“You don't have to see the entire staircase in order to take the first step.”  It's a fitting reminder that calling rarely unfolds in a straight line. Leadership growth is often a squiggle — forward momentum mixed with setbacks, recalibration, and courage.  Sometimes the most strategic move a leader can make isn't climbing faster, but pausing long enough to realign.If you've ever felt successful but unfulfilled, busy but misaligned, or driven but unclear on your deeper why — this conversation will both ground and inspire you.There is immeasurable joy in making the right difference.

There's a mistake that every Nonprofit leader makes from time to time. In fact, we all make this mistake, not just in our work, but in multiple aspects of our lives. And if we can be attentive enough and fix it, we can absolutely transform our results and massively reduce our level of frustration. Here's what I'm talking about. It's the curse of the expert. We know way too much about every aspect of the work that we do and the impact it has. And we correctly recognize that all those details are important. They all contribute to the overall success of the work that we do. Unfortunately, that makes us really bad at paring that way down and zeroing in on the one or two details or messaging points that the decisionmaker we're talking to needs to know right now. Not in the end, not when we're all done, but right now. We want to tell them all the details 'cause we know how important they all are. But when we do that, all we do is flood their brain with way too much information and they can't process any of it and they don't retain any of it. So what do we do about this? How do you not only refrain from TMI, but how do you identify precisely what are the two or three things this decisionmaker needs to know right now, depending on where they are in their journey. Where do you, as their guide, need to take them next? In this episode, we share:What I learned from teaching jujitsu that will help you build messaging that causes decisionmakers to “get it”The three-piece message scaffolding that is key to moving decisionmakers to invest fully in your workHow to construct a high-level, impact-focused summary of your work in three sentences or lessWhy white papers and infographics often fail to improve decisionmakers' understandingHow to structure your messaging to cause decisionmakers to ask for the exact details they needThe one thing you must train yourself to do when talking with decisionmakers Help spread the word! If you found value in this episode, I'd be grateful if you would leave a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Your reviews help other nonprofit leaders find the podcast.  Thanks!!

In this conversation with ceremonialist, teen mentor, and soul-centric educator Johannah Reimer, we explore how to bring back the village-held rites of passage that our girls—and all young people—deserve.Johannah and Emily dive into the developmental arc from childhood to adolescence, the spiritual and biological transitions young girls move through, and the deep cultural poverty created by the loss of elders, ceremony, and shared responsibility. Together, they illuminate a path toward reclaiming ancestral wisdom, building ritual in everyday life, supporting girls through their first blood with reverence, and cultivating the council, community, and belonging every young person is wired for.This episode covers:What rites of passage actually are (and why they matter more than ever)How girls experience the shift into maidenhood—and what support they truly needThe three stages of an initiation + where modern culture gets stuckWhy adolescence is spiritually and psychologically tender, and why peers alone cannot guide each otherHow council practice builds emotional resilience, listening skills, and community-mindednessThe danger of raising adults who never move past the adolescent egoHow to reconnect with your own ancestry to craft culturally-rooted ritual without appropriationSimple ways aunties, uncles, elders, and childfree adults can step into village rolesA practical “next step” anyone can take to begin weaving a more connected culture for youthTo Connect with Johannah: Website: https://wakefulnature.comRekindling the Hearth Series (Seasonal Family Rituals): https://wakefulnature.com/rekindleGirls' Rites of Passage Mentorship & Facilitator Training: https://wakefulnature.com/trainingTo Work with Emily — the Revillaging Mama: The Third Space – A community of revillagers bringing the village to life through practice, prayer and playRevillage Your Life – A 4-month mentorship container to transform your experience from "isolated" to "supported"The Village Upgrade – A quick upgrade to align your precious resources of time, energy & money with the village you are calling in BOOK A FREE DISCOVERY CALL to explore the next layer of support for your revillaging journey

In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Dee switches seats with her daughter, Ariel Fuller, and together with their guest Shirlyn Palmer, they unpack the often misunderstood difference between sensuality and sexuality—and why embracing both is essential to a woman's healing and self-awareness.The conversation dives into:The fear many women have around their own sensualityHow sexuality complements rather than replaces sensualityThe importance of self-awareness in discovering what you truly like and needThe impact of childhood experiences and societal expectations on feminine identityHow damaged souls seek validation through sex, and how healing begins with truthThis episode is a powerful reminder that the woman within must be nurtured, seen, and honored. Healing begins when we reconnect with our truth.

Hey Doc!What happens when the OB/GYN becomes a new mom and realizes everything she thought she knew about postpartum was incomplete?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Candice Wood, an OB-GYN, perinatal mental health specialist, and mom of five, for a conversation that is tender, hilarious, and quietly radical.Yes, she built a 2-day-a-week career while raising five kids under five. But what we really talk about is what happened after the babies came.When she found herself:silently competing with her husband's ex-wifebreastfeeding through gritted teeth and unspoken anxietyresenting a partner she had trained to be helplessand quietly unraveling, while still doing everything “right” on paperThis episode is about the postpartum identity crisis no one prepares you for — and the healing that happens when you finally name what's actually going on.We talk about:Why resentment is often a sign you've buried a needThe trap of trying to be both the best mother and the best martyrHow her patients helped her see her own sufferingAnd what it really takes to feel like a good mom (hint: it's not perfection)If you've ever found yourself doing it all — and quietly wondering why it still doesn't feel like enough — this one will land deep.

Episode Summary: In this intimate and empowering conversation, Amy Wheeler sits down with yoga therapist, postpartum doula, and mother of two, Alexi Neal, to explore what happens when the yoga practice you've loved for decades no longer serves your body in the same way.Alexi shares her journey from starting yoga at age 12, falling in love with the strength and presence it gave her, to discovering—through chronic pain, pelvic dysfunction, and motherhood—that her hypermobility was both a blessing and a challenge. She opens up about the difficulty of letting go of deep, stretchy poses that felt emotionally nourishing but were damaging her SI joints and pelvic stability.The conversation dives into:How cultural narratives around motherhood and women's health leave many women without the support they needThe physical and emotional realities of hypermobility and pelvic floor dysfunctionWhy heavy strength training became a surprising but essential part of Alexi's healing and empowermentHow honoring boundaries in movement is an act of self-respect and long-term sustainabilityThe “village” mindset and how it applies not only to mothering but to self-careAlexi's story is an invitation to listen deeply to your body, to adapt your practice as life changes, and to recognize that true yoga is not performance—it's about honoring what supports your wholeness today.Connect with Alexi Neal:Website: soulfulsomatics.com (Soulful with two L's)Instagram: @soulfullexi Plans of Study for NDMU Yoga Therapyhttps://livendm.sharepoint.com/sites/Academics/SitePages/Yoga-Therapy-Plans-of-Study.aspx?csf=1&web=1&share=EeZhGMscDMFOl1Lk0PD6gOsBTxvKkWvbfjhHLmMMuNpLFw&e=ApOX4h&CID=45c542e6-5528-4c68-a8ac-5596fb4fc161School of Integrative Health at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-healthMaster of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy  Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals.  https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool 

Parenting a thirteen-year-old for the first time feels completely different than parenting your four two-year-old—and that's exactly the point. In this vulnerable episode of Mucked Up My Self Care, Jill and Linda explore how self-care shifts and evolves through every stage of motherhood, from pregnancy loss and postpartum preparation to managing preteens, kindergarteners, and everything in between. Through personal stories of hospital scares, garden overwhelm, and the messy reality of trying to control the uncontrollable, they remind us that sometimes the best self-care is simply letting go.In this episode, you'll learn:How self-care needs change dramatically across different parenting stages (and why that's completely normal)Why trying to control too much in motherhood can actually dampen your self-care effortsThe unique challenges of managing multiple ages at once—from preteens leaving empty food packets everywhere to toddlers needing constant attentionHow to navigate self-care during intense seasons: pregnancy, loss, health crises, and emotional heavinessWhy "structured self-care" isn't always the answer—sometimes it's about vegging out on the couch with a bookHow to prepare for postpartum self-care when you've been through it before and know what you needThe power of having a go-to self-care list when you're too overwhelmed to think clearlyWhy giving yourself understanding and grace is essential when parenting any age for the first timeMotherhood doesn't come with a manual, and neither does self-care through its many stages. Whether you're dealing with difficult school drop-offs, preteen messes, pregnancy worries, or just trying to squeeze in half a page of reading before falling asleep, this episode validates the reality that every stage brings new challenges—and new opportunities to care for yourself differently. Jill and Linda's honest conversation reminds you that it's okay when things don't go as planned, and that sometimes the best thing you can do is dance it out, take it one day at a time, and remember: this is the first time you're parenting this exact child at this exact age.Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck!

In this episode of Is It Me or Is It Them?, we unpack one of the most misunderstood ideas about anxiety: the belief that feeling safe is the ultimate goal. We're going to explore why seeking safety can sometimes keep us stuck—and why building trust in ourselves is a more sustainable path forward.Drawing on my work as a therapist, and real-life examples from clients and my own experiences, I walk you through the subtle but important shift from trying to avoid discomfort to learning we can handle it.What You'll Hear:Why “safety” might not be what you actually needThe difference between control and trustHow to build inner confidence and resilience, especially after traumaA reframe for those of us who tend to overprepare, overthink, or retreatIf you've ever tried to fix your anxiety by making your world smaller—by canceling plans, avoiding conflict, or needing constant reassurance—this one's for you.Resources + Next Steps:Try a self-trust journal prompt this week: What have I already survived that proves I can do hard things?Want support applying this to your own life or relationship?

In today's episode, Dominique sits down with award-winning researcher and best-selling author Dr. Chelle McQuaid, whose work dives deep into how women can break free from lifelong patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and silencing themselves to keep others comfortable.From early childhood conditioning to the cultural expectations still placed on women today, Dr. Chelle shares surprising insights from her global research, including the role estrogen plays in helping us shed the "good girl" persona and step into a more authentic, empowered self.In this episode, Dominique and Dr. Chelle discuss:How “good girl” conditioning begins in childhood and gets reinforced in adulthoodThe connection between menopause and breaking free from self-silencing behaviorsWhy women often struggle with setting boundaries and asking for what they needThe three biggest ways the “good girl” mindset shows up: perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional suppressionHow self-compassion, secure self-attachment, and self-leadership can change everythingWhy “not yet” can be the most powerful phrase for growthA calming somatic practice (the “butterfly hug”) to ground yourself in moments of fear or self-doubtFor more on Angela:Listen to her podcast, The Good Girl Gamechangers PodcastVisit her website: https://shop.thegoodgirlgamechangers.com/ Thanks to my Sponsors:Visit Carawayhome.com/flourishing or use code flourishing at checkout to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.Use code DOMINIQUE at monarchmoney.com in your browser for half off your first year.

Send in a question or comment via text.I get asked about medication every single day. Can you get better without it? Is it necessary? What's the best one? Is it cheating to take medication?Today I'm explaining why I don't answer these questions - and why you should be cautious about content creators who do.In this episode, I cover:The three main reasons mental health content creators shouldn't give medication adviceWhy personal beliefs and autonomy matter more than you might thinkThe countless variables that make medication decisions incredibly complexWhy your recovery journey changes over time (and so do your needs)What qualifications actually matter when it comes to psychiatric medicationsA better approach to getting the medication support you needThe reality is this: There are too many personal, medical, cultural, and lifestyle factors that go into medication decisions for any podcaster, YouTuber, or social media creator to give you meaningful advice. Even as a therapist specializing in anxiety disorders, there are clear boundaries I must respect.This doesn't mean your questions aren't valid - they absolutely are. It means you deserve qualified, ongoing professional support for these important decisions, not one-size-fits-all answers from someone who doesn't know your specific situation.Whether you use medication or not, the principles of anxiety recovery remain the same. You can't make a wrong choice because you can always change course as you learn and grow.For full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/320My medication story:https://theanxioustruth.com/145https://theanxioustruth.com/146https://theanxioustruth.com/147Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.
