There's a lot of noise in real estate right now.Headlines about agent counts. Statistics shared without context.Conversations designed to spark fear instead of clarity.In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett break down why most realtors aren't actually your competition—and why believing otherwise can quietly drain your energy, focus, and confidence.This conversation looks at the widely discussed statistics circulating in the industry and reframes them through the lens of how consumers actually behave. Instead of competing with “everyone,” most agents are building businesses in entirely different lanes, serving different people, at different stages of trust.In this episode, we discuss:Why headline statistics often miss the real storyWho agents are truly competing against—and who they're notHow consumers actually choose who to work withWhy comparison pulls agents off their own pathWhere attention and energy create the greatest returnThis episode isn't about ignoring reality. It's about seeing it clearly—and choosing to focus on the work that actually builds a sustainable, referral-based business.

In this powerful and healing episode, Keana explores what legalism looks like in the church, how it distorts our view of God, and how to break free from fear‑based faith. If you've ever felt like you had to earn God's love, perform perfectly, or follow endless rules to be accepted, this conversation will help you breathe again.Keana gently unpacks the emotional and spiritual impact of legalism, explains why so many believers struggle with shame and anxiety around God, and offers a path back to a relationship rooted in love, grace, and freedom. This episode builds on last week's message “Religion Cannot Save You, But God's Love Can” and continues the journey of rediscovering God's heart beyond religious pressure.You'll also receive five healing exercises to help you unlearn harmful beliefs, reconnect with God's love, and rebuild your identity on truth instead of performance.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat legalism actually is and what it is notHow legalism shows up in church culture and teachingThe emotional and spiritual wounds legalism createsWhy legalism replaces relationship with rulesHow to separate God's character from harmful religious expectationsPractical steps to break free from fear‑based faithFive healing exercises to help you reconnect with God's loveFive Healing Exercises Included“God Is Love” Reframing PracticeInner Child Compassion PrayerScripture Detox ExerciseNervous System Reset for Spiritual TriggersIdentity Rebuilding Journal PromptsReflection QuestionsWhat beliefs about God were shaped by fear instead of loveWhere have I confused religious performance with spiritual connectionWhat parts of my faith feel heavy, pressured, or shame‑basedWhat does spiritual freedom look like for me nowWhat is one legalistic belief I'm ready to releaseFinal EncouragementLegalism may have shaped your view of God, but it does not define who God is.

This article accompanies Part Two of our podcast conversation.In this episode, Larry, the Wisdom Keepers and I continue the exploration that opened last week, allowing the implications around pain, authority, and long-range decision-making to unfold more fully. The conversation is spacious, candid, and goes into places that are difficult to capture in writing alone.You can listen to Part Two of the podcast here:https://www.drivingtotherez.com/p/when-pain-wraps-your-timeline-secondPart Two: Authority, Scale, and Long-Range PerceptionOnce we stop treating discomfort as a verdict, a different question appears.Not How do I feel right now?But What actually is my long term purpose if it's not simply body comfort or pleasure?This is where the conversation deepens.Because the issue isn't pain itself. Pain is information. The issue is what happens when pain is given authority over time.How Timelines Quietly CollapseTimelines rarely collapse through dramatic failure. More often, they compress through a series of reasonable, well-justified choices that prioritize immediate relief. And sometimes by making one huge life changing decision that concentrates on body comfort instead of a broader awareness and information around the results.How do we know when we went for short term pleasure, over long term plans? The future becomes shorter. Options thin. Movement slows. Not because something went wrong, but because our future plans were never consulted.This is what timeline distortion looks like in real life. Not chaos, but a contraction between what we say our long term plans are, and our choice for short term pleasure.The Difference Between Sensitivity and AuthoritySensitivity is not the problem. Being a sensitive person is not the issue here. In fact, it's a strength.The problem arises when sensitivity is mistaken for leadership. When our discomfort and pain, or the pursuit of pleasure are allowed to lead us. Whether they are emotional, physical, mental or egoic relief or pleasure that is being sought.The body reacts to change, uncertainty, and unfamiliarity as potential threats. That reaction is honest. It is also incomplete. The body cannot see context. It cannot weigh the consequences across years. It cannot perceive trajectory. That is something it depends on you, the soul, to do for it.Yes, your Body depends on your Soul for context, for long term trajectory, for information and choice outside immediate comfort and pain.When bodily signals are obeyed rather than interpreted, authority quietly shifts from awareness to reaction. Being reactive is something we want to overcome because reactions always choose now over later. And being reactive never served us.Why Discomfort Often Appears at the ThresholdDiscomfort frequently arises at moments of expansion, not because something is wrong, but because something is unfamiliar.New environments, new roles, new responsibilities, and new ways of being all disrupt established patterns. The nervous system registers this disruption as stress, even when the direction itself is coherent.If discomfort is treated as a stop sign instead of a signal, growth stalls.Scale Changes EverythingSoul wisdom operates at scale.It considers not only sensation, but timing. Not only emotion, but consequence. Not only relief, but direction. Scale allows discomfort to be placed inside a larger frame, where it can be understood without being automatically obeyed. I am not saying here to invalidate your pain and discomfort, but to see it in the larger context of your long term plans and desires.When scale is restored, the future becomes clear and your plans take precedence.I will stop now and let you get onto Part Two of the podcast. I hope you enjoy our continued conversation this week, it certainly has been very expansive to record.IneliaThe discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

This week on Chattin' with Coach Amy, we started out laughing… and ended up landing somewhere deep.When we're stretched—whether it's in a good way or an uncomfortable way—growth is happening. And growth isn't meant to stay bottled up. When we walk through it, learn from it, and share it, it multiplies us. Our capacity. Our courage. Our impact. The way we show up for the people we love.We also answered a question from my 9-year Trimiversary that stopped me in my tracks.Not “How do you get rid of inflammation?”But “What did you notice as inflammation was leaving your body?”My answer? Confidence.Not the “I feel better today” kind.The kind that shows up when you can finally participate in your life again.When you have energy. When the brain fog lifts. When pain isn't calling the shots.When you stop sitting on the sidelines and start stepping into your life knowing, I can handle this.What surprised me most wasn't just the physical change—it was the mindset change.Confidence in who I am.Confidence in what I'm capable of.Confidence in my relationships.Confidence in the calling God has on my life.If you're dreaming about more—more energy, more confidence, more joy—and it feels far away right now, I want you to hear this: you're closer than you think.Season 6 Episode 3Please visit my website to check out the health and wellness coaching opportunities I have currently and coming up: https://southernandhealthycoaching.com/
Stories run us, until we can see them. In this episode, Kristina and Anna unpack how “the subconscious” is less a black box and more an ecology of repeating narratives. They move from storytelling tropes (plot armor, fish-out-of-water) into a bigger claim. Our inner villains are story structures, and healing is stewardship, not erasure. Along the way, they explore ancestral threads, family patterning, and a practical way to step out of the script mid-scene.Key TopicsWhy common storytelling tropes feel manipulative once you can “see the scaffolding”Plot armor, fish-out-of-water, and how character arcs predict what “can” happen in a storyThe idea that the subconscious is knowable, because it's made of stories, not mysteryA working hypothesis: the nine Inner Villains are nine recurring story structures in human lifeStewardship vs elimination. You don't delete the story, you change how it plays outAncestral patterning, embodiment, and what it means to carry a lineage thread without becoming itHow relationship dynamics can become “setups” that keep a villain role alive (the trash-day example)Sankhara, craving, aversion. As story addiction, not just “bad habits”Choosing an arc intentionally. Using attention as the lever for behavioral changeA simple exercise: identify what chapter you're in, then choose a different next pageNotable Moments and Quotes (short excerpts)“The subconscious is not unknowable.”“We are taught we are just the tree, not the root system.”“Trauma is not the beginning of something. It's the middle of something.”“You're not that character anymore.”“I'm sick of choosing the same page.”Practical Takeaways1) Name the script while you're in itWhen you hear yourself saying lines you've said a hundred times, pause and label it: “Oh, this is that story.”2) Swap “fixing” for “stewarding”Ask: “What would the easier version of this lesson look like?” Not “How do I eliminate this forever?”3) Find the setupIf a conflict repeats like clockwork, assume there's a hidden payoff. Example: being the savior, being righteous, being indispensable.4) Use attention as your control leverBehavior is mostly automatic. Attention is the steering wheel. Practice moving attention on purpose.5) Try the chapter exercise“This is the chapter where I'm angry.”“This is the chapter where I make a plan.”“This is the chapter where the protagonist stops performing the old role.”Suggested Listener Reflection PromptsWhat story do I keep reenacting because it gives me an identity?Where do I get to be the savior, the martyr, or the judge?What would it look like to let consequences happen without drama?If I'm not trying to “win” this scene, what choice becomes available?Which arc am I unintentionally feeding with my attention right now?MentionedDelaney Rowe (comedian, Instagram) for character trope satireGame of Thrones as an example of subverting plot armorFallout as fish-out-of-water worldbuildingThe Pitt (HBO) as fish-out-of-water workplace introductionMurder at the End of the World (Brit Marling) as a female-led “sleuth” archetypeRichard Powers, The Overstory and the root network metaphorAboriginal Australian songlines and ancestral story-carryingAinslie MacLeod (past-life framing and “you're not in that story anymore”)Drama Triangle vs Empowerment Triangle (reframing roles and choice)Listener HomeworkPick one recurring conflict this week.Name the story.Identify your role.Choose one small inversion. A different tone, a different action, or no action at all.Notice what becomes possible when you refuse the old script.Call to ActionIf this episode hit you, send Kristina and Anna a note with:The story you're realizing you live inside, andThe one choice you want to practice to steward it differently.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
In this episode, Chuck Thuss sits down with Anthony Dyer for an honest, deeply human conversation about military service, accumulated trauma, identity loss, addiction, and the long road to healing. Anthony shares his 21-year career in the United States Air Force, including high-risk missions, elite rescue operations, and the emotional weight that followed him home long after the uniform came off. From the quiet moments that haunt servicemen and women to the stigma around asking for help, Anthony opens up about how suppressed trauma and alcohol nearly cost him everything. What followed was a turning point shaped by accountability, faith, community, and the courage to finally take a knee and heal. This episode is a reminder that healing is not weakness, identity can be rebuilt, and no matter how dark the night gets, you are never out of the fight. Guest Bio Anthony Dyer is a retired United States Air Force veteran with 21 years of service, including elite roles in combat search and rescue, special operations, and aerial gunship missions. A recipient of the Air Force's Jolly Green Rescue Mission of the Year, Anthony experienced firsthand the cumulative trauma that often follows long military careers. Today, he is a mental health advocate, author of Moonchild, and a voice for veterans navigating trauma, addiction recovery, identity loss, and life after service. You'll hear About The hidden emotional cost of elite military missions and long-term service Why trauma compounds when it is suppressed instead of addressed How alcohol became a coping mechanism and the ultimatum that changed everything Losing identity after military retirement and rebuilding purpose Why community, vulnerability, and telling your story can save lives Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction 02:00 Anthony's Path Into the United States Air Force 04:30 Life-Changing Missions and Learning "Service Before Self" 07:20 The Trauma Civilians Rarely See 10:00 Suppression, Stigma, and Masking Mental Health Struggles 12:40 Alcohol, Identity Loss, and Hitting a Breaking Point 15:20 The Ultimatum That Forced a Choice 17:10 Transitioning Out of the Military and Losing Purpose 19:30 Why Veterans Feel Isolated After Service 21:50 Writing Moonchild and Facing the Accountability Mirror 24:20 Healing Through Storytelling and Community 26:20 Life Today: Fatherhood, Recovery, and Perspective 28:10 Anthony's Message to Veterans Who Are Struggling 30:00 Chuck's Reflections and Episode Closing Chuck's Challenge This week, ask someone a deeper question.

Send us a textCollagen & Supplemental Peptides: Everyday Support for Health and FitnessPeptides are often discussed in the context of advanced therapies, but many people are already using peptides in their daily routines without realizing it. In Episode 129 of Ask The Nurses, we break down collagen peptides and creatine-based supplemental peptides—what they are, how they work, and why they're commonly used to support overall health and fitness.These peptides are not hormones and do not alter endocrine function. Instead, they provide foundational support by supplying the body with building blocks it already uses for structure, energy, and recovery.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhat collagen and creatine peptides are—and what they are notHow collagen peptides support joints, connective tissue, skin health, and recoveryThe role of creatine peptides in muscular energy, strength, and performanceHow these supplements support the body rather than override natural processesWhy education matters when it comes to peptide use and supplementationWho may benefit from collagen or creatine peptides and how they're commonly usedWhy This Conversation MattersFrontline workers, athletes, caregivers, and everyday people place constant demands on their bodies. Understanding how nutritional and supplemental peptides fit into a wellness routine allows individuals to make informed, responsible decisions about their health—without hype or misinformation.This episode emphasizes education over promotion, helping listeners understand where these peptides fit within broader conversations about nutrition, movement, recovery, and long-term resilience.Peptides don't have to be extreme or intimidating. For many people, collagen and creatine peptides are simple, accessible tools that support how the body moves, recovers, and adapts over time.
Many school leaders ask for consistency.What they're really asking is:What holds when I'm tired?In this episode of the Schools of Excellence podcast, Chanie explores why leadership often breaks down on ordinary days — not in moments of crisis — and why motivation, systems, and training alone can't carry culture, standards, or accountability.This conversation introduces one of the most important leadership distinctions:Systems create structure.Standards create clarity.Only rhythms create safety.You'll hear:Why leadership that depends on energy and motivation is unsustainableWhat rhythms are — and what they are notHow predictable patterns shape behavior more than policies or explanationsWhy teams follow what happens consistently, not what's writtenHow rhythms reduce over-functioning and restore shared ownershipWhy leaders often resist rhythms — and where real relief actually livesIf things only work when you're watching, reminding, or rescuing, this episode will help you understand why and what's missing.
The claim that “95% of AI projects fail” has become one of the most repeated talking points in enterprise AI. But where did it come from, and does it actually hold up?In this episode, Dave "CAC" Kellogg and Ray "Growth" Rike take a detailed, data-driven look at the MIT NANDA report, titled The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025. They break down how the "95% fail rate" statistic went viral, why it stuck, and why the underlying evidence does not support such a sweeping conclusion.What Ray and Dave cover:Why the NANDA report is often mistaken for a peer-reviewed academic study when it is notHow ambiguous definitions of “failure” turn partial adoption into sensational headlinesData inconsistencies and methodological gaps that undermine the 95% claimThe difference between failed AI initiatives and early-stage pilots or experimentsWhy measuring AI success by the percent of projects is misleading compared to the business value createdThe rise of Shadow AI and employee-driven adoption, and why that may be a feature, not a flawHow the report's conclusions conveniently align with the authors' proposed NANDA architectureThe real issues enterprises face with AI: workflow integration, governance, and change managementThe episode also discusses why personal productivity gains still matter to the P&L, even if they do not appear as a clear line item, and why fear-driven AI narratives can do real damage within organizations.Key takeaway: The NANDA report raises some legitimate concerns about scaling AI from pilot to production, but the infamous “95% of AI projects fail” claim does not survive close inspection. Leaders should read the report skeptically and push back when flawed statistics begin to drive decisions and strategy.Recommended for: CFOs, operators, AI leaders, and anyone tired of scary AI statistics that fall apart under scrutiny.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Welcome to this week's Monday Minute, brought to you by our friends at Podium.The Monday Minute is your weekly reset. It's here to help you lead better, think clearer, and build your dealership with intention.

It's built through consistency, transparency, and doing what you say you're going to do, one customer at a time.Make sure you've read this week's Sunday newsletter, where we break down the full theme and give you exercises to work through with your team.If you're not subscribed yet, head to TheIndependentDealer.com and sign up.Let's build this together.Check out our Monday Minute Sponsor: www.podium.com
If you're tired of starting strong and falling off…If discipline feels fragile, inconsistent, or dependent on motivation…This episode will change how you think about habits forever.In this episode of The Highly Effective Man Podcast, JP Bolwahnn explains why motivation fails most men—and how daily reps build identity, eliminate self-negotiation, and turn discipline into something automatic.This isn't about trying harder.It's about repeating what matters until it becomes who you are.You'll learn:Why motivation is unreliable, and reps are notHow repetition removes decision-making and mental fatigueWhy habits only stick when they become identity-basedHow simple tracking hardens discipline without burnoutWhy consistency is built on systems, not willpowerIf you're a busy man who wants discipline that holds up on hard days, this episode gives you the framework.Send us a text
January often starts with good intentions. New plans, new priorities, and a quiet expectation that you'll somehow be more organised, more productive, and more on top of everything than ever before.In this episode, Nicky Christmas kicks off the 2026 season of The EA Campus Podcast by tackling something foundational for Executive Assistants. Clarity around responsibility.This episode is about the day-to-day reality of the EA role. The tasks that quietly creep in. The decisions you're expected to make without authority.

They fall apart because there's no clear direction for what to look at first.In this solocast, Dr. Ritamarie breaks down the thinking process behind effective root-cause work. Not more labs.

This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Phoebe Lapin from Feed Me Phoebe.

The Mindset Debrief: Gaining perspective on what hits you hard and not making it your identityPain has a way of hanging around longer than it should. Not because you want it to, but because it keeps offering itself as protection. One hard hit turns into a default posture. You start bracing early. You assume the worst faster. You call it boundaries, but it can turn into walls. You call it self-awareness, but it can turn into a script that plays before anything even happens.In this episode, we're looking at the difference between pain as a teacher and pain as an identity. Pain can sharpen judgment, clarify what you value, and show you what you won't tolerate again. But if it isn't processed, it doesn't stay in its corner. It leaks into how you speak, how you trust, how you handle stress, and how people experience you in a room. It can start to feel like control, even when it's costing you more than it's protecting you.This episode offers specifics about what it looks like when pain becomes personality, and what changes when pain becomes perspective. Perspective doesn't erase what happened. It organizes it. It puts the experience in the right place so it can inform decisions without running them. You'll hear the shift in the questions too. Not “What did this do to me,” but “What did this teach me.” Not “How do I make sure this never happens again,” but “How do I move forward without carrying this into everything.”Information is also presented regarding personal responsibility without pretending pain didn't matter. Explanation isn't exemption. At some point, what happened to you can't be the reason you stop working on yourself. We'll talk about how processed pain sounds different than unprocessed pain, how absolutist thinking narrows the future, and why maturity often looks like catching old reactions before they become default.If you've felt yourself tightening up, getting more guarded, or living like your hardest chapter is the whole book, this episode is built for that moment.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15

Waiting for your partner to ask if you're okay, your doctor to take you seriously, or someone—anyone—to validate that yes, what you're going through really IS that hard? Here's the truth: you can't control if someone else gives you that validation. But you can give it to yourself. And no, that's not the same as toxic positivity or forcing yourself to "look on the bright side." It's about giving yourself the same compassion you'd give a friend going through the exact same thing. In this episode, I'm sharing a 6-step framework for self-validation that's helped me navigate everything from grief to everyday struggles. I'll walk you through how to actually process what you're feeling instead of bypassing it, how to connect your emotions to your values so you don't stay stuck, and the common mistakes that keep people trapped in either self-denial or self-pity. Because here's what I want you to hear: You don't need anyone else's permission to feel what you're feeling. The validation you're waiting for? You can give it to yourself. Key Topics: The difference between self-validation and toxic positivity Why naming your emotions literally calms your nervous system The 6-step framework for validating yourself through hard things Common mistakes (and what self-validation is NOT) How to honour what you actually need right now Ready to Actually Stop Waiting for Others to Validate You? You can listen to every podcast episode and know all the strategies, but if you're still waiting for someone to notice you're struggling, nothing changes. That's where coaching comes in. I help women get clear on what they actually need (not what they think they should need), how to validate themselves without falling into toxic positivity, and most importantly—how to stop making their worthiness dependent on other people's recognition.

There's a point in the year, sometime after the clocks change and the air cools, when everything in me starts to shift gears. Not in a big dramatic way. More like an exhale I didn't realise I was holding. The sun barely clears the horizon before it's on its way down again, and I feel that pull inward. A sense that it's time to quieten things down.It's in that stretch between late autumn and early winter that I start preparing, not in the frantic, pre-Christmas way, but in a softer, steadier rhythm. A slow return to the essentials. The kind of preparation that says you don't need to brace — you just need to be ready to rest.Creating a Home That Welcomes Winter InI always start with the space itself. Our flat is small, and once winter sets in, we're in it together, both literally and figuratively. So I start by making room. Not for more stuff, but for the season itself. I clear surfaces. Tuck away the remnants of summer. Shift furniture ever so slightly to make space for what we'll actually be doing, more reading, more snuggling, more long afternoons that never seem to get light.The blankets come out. I do a quick sweep of the kitchen, not for aesthetic reasons, but because we're about to spend a lot more time there, stirring pots and making endless cups of herbal tea or coffe. I check the pantry for the staples that make winter cooking feel effortless: dried herbs, oats, tinned tomatoes, cinnamon. Essentially the building blocks of slow food.And I do a little mental check-in: Will this space carry us well through the colder days? Can we stretch out in it without bumping into stress? That's really the goal. Not perfection. Just ease.Winter Is a MindsetOnce the physical space starts to feel more settled, I turn inward. Because winter, for me, anyway, isn't about ticking off tasks. It's about allowing a different kind of rhythm. A softer one. It's when I stop expecting myself to run at the same speed as I did in the light-filled months of spring and summer.This season has a weight to it, but not in a bad way. It just asks more gently. It doesn't push. It doesn't shout. It simply says, you can go slower now. And so I listen. I pare back the calendar. I loosen my grip on what I thought I “should” be doing. I let mornings be slower. I let plans fall away without guilt. I look for what feels necessary — and what I can leave until spring.Home Education, But SofterOur home ed rhythm changes, too. The content doesn't disappear but the delivery does. It becomes lighter and less about checking boxes, more about leaning into curiosity. We bring blankets to the floor and learn from under them. The world outside slows down, and I try to let our learning reflect that.I'm not trying to force productivity when everything around us is asking for presence instead. Some of the richest conversations we've had have come from cold walks, a cup of hot chocolate and a question asked out of nowhere. I make room for those moments, because they don't happen when we're rushing.The Subtle Work of Tuning InwardThere's a kind of quiet personal work that surfaces at this time of year, a re-evaluation that happens naturally if you give it enough silence to rise. I don't plan it. It just arrives.This is when I start asking different questions. Not “What's next?” but “What do I actually need?” Not “How do I do more?” but “What's quietly asking to be let go of?” I give myself the time to reflect, to notice what's feeling heavy and what might not need to come with me into the new year.This kind of reflection doesn't look impressive. It's not always neat. But it clears mental space the same way tidying a shelf does. And it prepares me far more than any to-do list ever could.Holding Space for the Messy BitsOf course, it's not all serene candlelight and cosy corners. Winter can bring up resistance. The stillness can feel itchy. The early darkness can feel suffocating. The quiet can be loud in its own way. And I think it matters to say that. Winter can feel restorative and raw. It's not one or the other.So part of preparing for this season is reminding myself that I'm allowed to feel it all, the rest and the restlessness, the joy and the slump. I don't need to perform contentment. I just need to let myself be in the season I'm in.And that leads nicely into letting winter be what it's meant to be. I've stopped expecting winter to behave like spring. I've stopped expecting myself to bloom in a season that's meant for stillness. That shift, from resisting the quiet to embracing it, has changed how I experience this part of the year.Preparing for winter now means slowing the pace on purpose. It means letting rest be a rhythm, not a reward. It means choosing calm over chaos — not because I've got it all together, but because I've learned that pushing through only leaves me more tired come January.So I take a little off our plates. I close the laptop earlier. I light the candles before it gets fully dark. I find the rituals that hold us through the coldest months — and I try not to overcomplicate them.

Serena speaks with Betsy Pepine, a best-selling author, speaker, and founder of Pepine Realty, one of the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the USA. Betsy shares her journey from being the “black sheep” in a family of physicians to building a thriving real estate empire — and how embracing her introversion became a superpower rather than a setback.She also opens up about breaking free from family expectations, the courage to choose authenticity over approval, and how her philosophy of “who, not how” helps her lead and scale as an introverted CEO.Key TakeawaysBreaking the Boxes We Inherit Betsy explores how invisible “boxes” — from family, gender, and culture — shape who we think we're supposed to be, and how freeing ourselves from them can open the door to real purpose and joy.Redefining IntroversionDiscover how reading Quiet by Susan Cain helped Betsy see introversion not as a weakness, but as a strength rooted in self-awareness and energy management.Boundaries and Authentic LeadershipBetsy shares how honoring her need for downtime has made her a more effective leader — and how setting clear boundaries gives permission for her team to do the same.From Corporate Layoff to Entrepreneurial SuccessLearn how a layoff and a divorce became the catalysts that propelled Betsy into entrepreneurship and eventually toward national recognition in the real estate industry.Introverts in SalesContrary to popular belief, introverts can thrive in sales.

For early-stage entrepreneurs, she offers creative ways to build support, from bartering to joining mastermind groups.Memorable Quotes“When you say yes to something, you're saying no to something else. If I said yes to being a physician, I was saying no to me.” — Betsy Pepine“Introverts are not less than — we just derive energy from within.” — Betsy Pepine“If we're not going to stand up for ourselves, how can we expect others to?” — Betsy Pepine“Embrace where you are on the spectrum — honor it, and set boundaries so you can operate at your best.” — Betsy PepineConnect with Betsy PepineWebsite: betsypepine.comSocial Media: @betsypepine on all major platformsBook: Breaking Boxes — available via her websiteJoin The Visible Introvert newsletter for weekly reflections and resources curated specially for introverts and quiet achieversThis episode was edited by Aura House Productions

Turn Underused Classrooms, Time Blocks, and Facilities Into Predictable Profit With Systems That LastThis episode kicks off Chanie Wilschanski's Six Money Leaks series, diving deep into the first profit drain most school leaders overlook: space optimization.Your school building's square footage is either making money or silently draining it. If your classrooms feel full but your budget is still tight, you may be missing out on hundreds, sometimes thousands, in unrealized revenue.Chanie shares real client stories where underutilized classrooms, missed extended care opportunities, and unused rooms were costing schools between $96,000 and $130,000 a year. More importantly, she breaks down the systems and rhythms that turn those gaps into sustainable income, without overloading teachers or sacrificing your school culture.Whether you lead an early childhood center or a private school, this conversation will help you stop making emotional space decisions and start using operational systems to create predictable, sustainable growth.What You'll LearnWhat space optimization really is, and what it's notHow to uncover hidden enrollment gaps that quietly drain revenueExtended care strategies that boost profit without exhausting your teamHow room licensing and usage flexibility can add thousands in monthly revenueUsing external rentals strategically without adding operational chaosThe systems and rhythms that keep your space working for you year after yearKey InsightsFeeling Full Isn't the Same as Being FullA school reporting 85% capacity was actually at 72%, a $96,000 annual revenue leak. Real data, not perception, should drive your enrollment strategy.Protecting Staff by Avoiding Enrollment Hurts EveryoneLimiting enrollment to “make it easier” on teachers reduces resources, which ultimately impacts their long-term stability.Extended Care and Tiered Pricing Unlock Prime Revenue BlocksCharging for early or late care, with systems to test and staff them, can turn unused time into high-value revenue.Room Licensing Flexibility Creates OpportunitiesRe-zoning or re-licensing underused rooms can meet demand and significantly increase monthly income.External Rentals Work When StructuredRenting space for community events or seasonal programs can be profitable if built into your operational rhythm, not as a one-off scramble.Try This Instead: The Space Optimization SystemsRoom-by-Room Enrollment Audit: Track licensed capacity vs. actual enrollment by room.Extended Care Revenue System: Run quarterly audits of arrival/departure patterns and pilot premium care offerings.Licensing Flexibility Process: Regularly review demand vs. licensing and pursue rezoning where profitable.External Rental Structure: Decide if rentals should be seasonal or ongoing, and set clear policies for use.Memorable Quotes“Every square foot in your building is either generating profit or stealing profit from you.”“Protecting staff by avoiding full enrollment is not protection—it's a slow drain on your entire school.”“Feeling full is not the same as being full.

Lectric Xpedition Bike: Watch HereWhat if the pain you've buried is the very thing blocking you from becoming the man God created you to be?In this raw and emotional episode, Jerrad sits down with Dr. Brad Johnson—also known as BJ Communicates—to talk about grief, father wounds, and how trauma shapes us more than we realize. BJ shares the heartbreaking story of holding his newborn son as he took his last breath, walking through the fog of loss in his marriage, and later grieving the death of his own father before reconciliation could happen.Together, they unpack how fatherlessness, unprocessed emotions, and generational pain keep men stuck—and why ignoring it doesn't make it go away. They talk about how grief shows up in unexpected ways (like road rage and burnout), why most men lack true friendships, and how healing begins with honest conversations.This episode is an invitation to stop carrying what God has called you to cast—and to believe that the best version of you is on the other side of your pain.What You'll Learn:Why men are emotional—even when they say they're notHow father wounds affect your identityThe power of grief and what it revealsWhat it means to carry trauma in your bodyHow to connect with your wife through emotional check-insWhy men struggle to form deep friendshipsHow generational patterns repeat if we don't interrupt themWhy healing is spiritual—and why it matters for your familyMentioned in This Episode:BJ Communicates' books: Hard Conversations seriesSupport group for grieving dads: Sad Dad“Feelings Wheel” for emotional check-insBook Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.comGrab Dad Tired and Loving It: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB

Some losses are too heavy for words — Rachel sits down with Jade Horton, a mother who endured the unimaginable: losing her two children in a devastating house fire. Surviving the blaze herself, Jade was left not only physically broken, but emotionally shattered.What followed was a journey of profound grief, resilience, and ultimately, spiritual awakening. In the aftermath of tragedy, Jade found a path to healing through Angelic Reiki and Merkaba energy work — two powerful modalities that helped her reconnect with herself, with her children in spirit, and with others walking through darkness.In this episode, Jade shares:The night that changed everything — and what she remembersThe physical and emotional toll of surviving such a lossHow traditional recovery fell short, and why she turned to spiritual healingWhat Angelic Reiki and Merkaba healing really are — and what they're notHow she now uses her experience to guide others through grief and energetic transformationThis is not just a story of survival.
