In this episode, Hannah opens up about the eating disorder she lived with for years — one she says had nothing to do with food or how she looked, and everything to do with control. She walks us through what led to her hospitalization, the body dysmorphia that kept her from seeing the truth in the mirror, and the long, harder-than-expected psychological recovery that followed. We also get into why so many of us are outsourcing our inner lives to AI, why dating and love feel so much harder right now, and what it actually means to rebuild a relationship with your own masculine and feminine energy.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy Hannah calls anorexia "the most masculine of all disorders" — and what control had to do with itWhat body dysmorphia actually distorts, and why she "didn't see herself in the mirror"The difference between physical recovery and the much harder psychological recovery that followedWhy so many of us reach for AI, dating apps, and checklists instead of doing the deeper work of really knowing ourselvesHow to rebuild a healthy relationship between your masculine and feminine energy, without swinging all the way to either extreme⚠️ This episode discusses eating disorders and hospitalization.

The revenue number you feel behind on, the audience size you think you should have by now, the pace of growth that feels too slow, where did those standards actually come from? In this episode you'll learn why comparison syndrome isn't a confidence problem, why measuring yourself against someone else's highlight reel is one of the most strategically dangerous things you can do for your business growth, and how to use your own metrics to build the only standard that actually tells you something about where your business is headed.

Did you know that Ernest Hemingway wrote for the Toronto Star? The iconic cigar-smoking, bull-fighting American writer spent two separate stints living in Canada. It was partly while living and working in Toronto that he developed his stripped-down, sparse writing style. Author and Hemingway expert Terry Fallis reflects on the writer's larger than life reputation and his time spent in Toronto ahead of the upcoming International Hemingway Society Conference. Plus, CBC producer Christine Pagulayan talks about the latest trend to hit the world of romance. Books discussed on this week's show include:And Then There Were None by Agatha ChristieLittle Face by Sophie HannahBefore You Go to Sleep by S. J.

Helping a young person choose a career starts with asking better questions, not having every answer.In this solo episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins challenges the common ways families approach career planning and introduces a fresh perspective that expands possibilities for teens, college students, and young adults.Rather than focusing on majors, prestige, or job market predictions, Lisa explains why looking at the type of work a person is wired to enjoy creates stronger long-term career confidence. She also shares practical ways parents can shift from feeling responsible for finding the right answer to becoming a trusted thinking partner as their child explores future opportunities.In this episode, you'll discover:A broader way to think about career planning that goes beyond majors and job titlesWhy preparing for life after graduation requires a different mindset than preparing for graduationHow self-awareness can uncover career paths that fit a person's natural strengthsThe role parents can play in encouraging exploration instead of rushing decisionsKey Takeaways: Parents and high schools often focus on passions, academic strengths, job outlook, or prestige, but those factors alone create an incomplete picture when helping a young person choose a career.Organizing career exploration around the U.S. Department of Labor's job family framework helps students identify the type of work that fits their natural wiring instead of committing too early to a specific major or profession.Career clusters can help students choose classes and educational pathways, while job families encourage a longer-term view of career fit and adaptability as occupations continue to evolve.Parents can reduce pressure by asking thoughtful questions, encouraging exploration before commitment, and helping their child recognize recurring patterns in their interests and strengths instead of trying to provide all the answers. “Families often think that what they really want is a major... What you really want is a confident path to the future.” – Lisa Marker-RobbinsEpisode References:#221 The #1 Predictor of Your Child's Career Success (It's Not What You Think) https://flourishcoachingco.com/221Job Families Sample with Birkman Report: https://flourishcoachingco.com/jobsLearn more about Launch Career Clarity at FlourishCoachingCo.com/courseGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: THE CAREER IDENTIFICATION COMPASS: How To Be Certain Your 15 To 25 Year Old is On The Right Path to Launch With Confidence–Not Confusion: flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Clare Mackintosh joined the police force by accident. But taking what she learned over a 12 year career and using it to become a bestselling mystery and crime writer, was no accident. Nine novels later, she's sold millions of copies and has never looked back. Her latest is a genre-fusing novel titled, It's Not What You Think. Clare was recently a guest speaker at the yearly MOTIVE crime and mystery festival in Toronto, and dropped by to talk about the books that have shaped her life and career.Books discussed on this week's show include:And Then There Were None by Agatha ChristieLittle Face by Sophie HannahBefore You Go to Sleep by S.

You built the funnel. You created the lead magnet. You set up the email sequence. So why isn't your funnel converting the way it used to? In this episode you'll discover how the rise of AI has fundamentally shifted the way your ideal client makes buying decisions, why the old Traffic to Lead Magnet to Nurture to Sale model is losing effectiveness, and exactly what the new buyer journey looks like so you can stop wondering why your system stopped working and start building something that actually fits how buyers are making decisions right now.

Time has a way of speeding up, especially when major decisions about school, careers, and independence are on the horizon.In this solo episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins encourages parents to pause for a mid-year career clarity check, helping families assess where teens, college students, and young adults stand before the next milestone arrives.She walks through four key stages families face when preparing to launch their young person into adult independence while explaining why direction requires intention rather than waiting for time to solve uncertainty. Along the way, Lisa shares practical questions and conversation strategies to help families build confidence, foster greater ownership, and prepare for the second half of the year.In this episode, you'll discover:How career clarity changes across the different stages of a young person's developmentThe common patterns that leave families feeling behind as major milestones approachWhy intentional planning matters more than waiting for maturity or time to create directionWays parents can encourage greater ownership while preparing students for increasing independenceKey Takeaways: (04:14) Milestone #1: High School Years — Students need more than a plan after graduation. They need to understand why they're choosing a particular path and ensure their decisions align with long-term career goals.(09:00) Milestone #2: Around Age 20 — By this stage, families should look for evidence of intentional progress rather than assuming maturity alone will create direction or career momentum.(13:52) Milestone #3: The First Career Search — Landing a career requires more than credentials. Young adults need the self-awareness and communication skills to explain the value they bring to an employer.(19:09) Milestone #4: The Launch Line — Parents can best support independence by leading conversations with empathy and curiosity while encouraging greater ownership instead of stepping in to solve every problem. “Lead the discussion with questions and curiosity, not with directives or orders.” – Lisa Marker-RobbinsEpisode References:Learn more about Launch Career Clarity at FlourishCoachingCo.com/course#169 The Hidden Impact of College Major Selection on Admissions with Rick Clark: https://flourishcoachingco.com/169#212 How to Choose a College That Delivers Career ROI, with Jeff Selingo: https://flourishcoachingco.com/212#221 The #1 Predictor of Your Child's Career Success (It's Not What You Think): https://flourishcoachingco.com/221Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: THE CAREER IDENTIFICATION COMPASS: How To Be Certain Your 15 To 25 Year Old is On The Right Path to Launch With Confidence–Not Confusion: flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Recorded live at Capital Crime Festival 2026, David Headley is joined on stage by one of Britain's most celebrated crime writers, Clare Mackintosh.With the release of her latest thriller, It's Not What You Think, Clare takes audiences behind the scenes, revealing how she carefully constructs twists, plants misdirection and plans every emotional beat of a reader's journey.Together they discuss why human psychology matters more than crime itself, the challenge of writing politically charged fiction, how her years as a police officer continue to shape her novels, and the pressure of following up bestselling books that readers have come to expect the impossible from.From plotting "bookish whiplash" to balancing suspense with humour, this is a fascinating conversation about the craft of storytelling with one of the genre's finest writers.2027 early bird tickets for Capital Crime Festival are on sale for a limited time at www.capitalcrime.org/ticketsAnd you can buy signed copies of Clare's latest thriller, It's Not What You Think at Goldsboro Books.

Can I tell you the lie the online business world sold us?

To make real money online, you have to be everywhere on social media. Posting every day, performing your life for an algorithm that changes every five minutes, creating more content just to stay visible. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you've probably asked yourself... did God actually call me to this? Friend, He didn't. And in this episode, I'm going to show you a better way. Because there is a way to make real, consistent income online without social media, without the hustle, and without compromising your faith or your peace. 

 In this episode, I'm breaking down the five truths about making money online God's way, including why you need a searchable platform instead of a scrollable one, how one clear offer beats ten confusing ones every time, why your email list will always outperform your follower count, what God's business model actually looks like versus the world's hustle blueprint, and why undercharging is really just fear dressed up as generosity. You don't have to sell your soul or your feed to build something profitable. God's way is better. And it actually works.

 I pray this blesses you! Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp! I'll show you how to create a podcast that makes steady income on autopilot—without relying on social media.

I sat down with human connection expert and author Mark Groves to talk about codependency, self abandonment, shame, and what it actually looks like to stop leaving yourself to belong to other people. We get into why telling the truth is the most radical act of self reclamation, how to know when you have outgrown an adaptive strategy, and why the boundary that feels like it will break everything is usually the thing that sets both people free.  • Join me live for 8 days https://cathyheller.samcart.com/products/born-for-this  • Follow Mark Groves on Instagram @createthelove  • Visit Mark at https://www.createthelove.com/  • Get your ticket to Cathy Heller Live: Divine Download in LA, August 2-3 https://cathyheller.com/summit/  • Join Cathy's Circle https://www.cathyheller.com/cathys-circle/  • Follow Cathy on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cathy.heller/  • Want to work with Cathy? https://www.cathyheller.com/start-here/ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:38 - How Mark Groves Became a Human Connection Expert 3:44 - The Hardest Conversation He Ever Had (And Why It Led Him Back to Himself) 5:16 - Cathy's Codependency Wake-Up Call: "I Need to Be in All Seven Places" 7:03 - Why Belonging Wins Over Authenticity Every Time (And What to Do About It) 11:43 - Why Women Especially Struggle to Ask for What They Need 13:10 - "I Leave Me to Be With People Because I'm Afraid They'll Leave Me" 17:52 - The Dinner Party Where Two Strangers Admitted They Were Addicts — And It Was the Best Night Ever 21:21 - How to Get Into Your Shame Instead of Running From It 23:50 - The Meditation That Changed Everything: Welcoming Home Your Younger Self 27:09 - Going Back to Meet Your Seven-Year-Old Self 29:53 - How He Went From Viral Blog to Video — And Why He Was Terrified to Make the Switch 35:44 - The Biggest Way We Self-Sabotage (It's Not What You Think) 37:29 - Why Receiving Love Can Feel More Terrifying Than Losing It 40:11 - What to Do When You Ask Yourself What You Want and the Answer Is "I Don't Know" 45:39 - Stop Trying to Heal Other People — Inspiration Is Born From Self-Transformation 53:17 - Six Takeaways to Carry With You

There's a belief so deeply embedded in how most established solopreneurs approach their business that it never gets questioned. It feels logical. It feels like common sense. And it's quietly responsible for keeping more business owners stuck in inconsistent revenue than almost anything else. In this episode you'll discover exactly what that belief is, why it's so persistent, and what actually shifts when you finally let it go and start looking in the one place that's been holding the answer all along.

If social media feels like a moving target… you're not wrong. It's already changed.In this episode, I'm bringing you inside a live, high-energy Q&A where I answer real questions from entrepreneurs about what's actually working right now in social media marketing.Here's the big shift: content is no longer shown just to your followers—it's shown based on interest.

What if students who seem “on track” are actually headed in the wrong direction?In this solo episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins challenges the traditional focus on grades, college acceptance, and achievement, revealing why these milestones often create a false sense of progress. She explains how families unintentionally prioritize the wrong finish line, leading students to graduate without clarity, confidence, or real-world readiness.Through powerful examples and practical insight, she outlines how early self-awareness, intentional career exploration, and real-world validation can help students build true momentum toward a successful and independent future.In this episode, you'll discover:Why students who appear successful can still feel lost after graduationHow common definitions of success in school can unintentionally mislead familiesThe hidden influence of expectations coming from parents and institutionsWhat it actually takes to build clarity and confidence before choosing a pathKey Takeaways: It is entirely possible for a student to follow the expected path, earn strong grades, and attend a great college, yet still reach graduation without a clear direction because none of those steps required them to truly understand themselves or their future.Many families feel reassured by steady progress through school milestones, but that sense of progress can be misleading when those achievements are not connected to a larger goal like long-term independence and career fit.Students often commit to majors or career paths based on what feels right in the moment, and only later realize the mismatch when they encounter real-world constraints or limitations that force them to reconsider.Clarity comes from doing the deeper work early, including understanding personal strengths and preferences, exploring options with intention, and testing those interests in real environments before making decisions that are harder to reverse later. “If we don't define the finish line early enough, young people will still move forward, but they'll just move forward with something that may not be a fit.” – Lisa Marker-RobbinsEpisode References:Turn confusion into career clarity—and give your teen direction and you peace of mind with Launch Career Clarity®: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/course/#221 The #1 Predictor of Your Child's Career Success (It's Not What You Think) https://flourishcoachingco.com/221 Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: THE CAREER IDENTIFICATION COMPASS: How To Be Certain Your 15 To 25 Year Old is On The Right Path to Launch With Confidence–Not Confusion: flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

I spent two weeks in unity consciousness once—pure oneness, no suffering, no problems. Then I woke up and watched it all slip away. My guest Aaron Abke, author of Three Beliefs of the Ego, knows exactly what that feels like. Your ego isn't your enemy; it's a mental habit of grabbing onto form. Sadness, anger, and fear aren't obstacles—they're your internal GPS pointing directly to three beliefs: lack, attachment, and control. This conversation flips the script on chasing enlightenment through retreats and plant medicines. You don't need more freedom.

Lack of ability is rarely the reason ADHD adults struggle at work. The underlying reasons are more complex and might surprise you. The post Why ADHD Adults Struggle at Work (It's Not What You Think) appeared first on Marla Cummins.

In this episode of The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III breaks down one of the most overlooked reasons people fail to achieve their goals: lack of clarity. While many believe they need more resources, better strategies, or additional skills, the real barrier is often confusion caused by too many inputs, distractions, and competing priorities.George explains how clarity acts as the foundation for focus, discipline, and results. He introduces a powerful framework centered on three core areas: vision, purpose, and priorities. Listeners will learn why simplifying their goals is essential and how eliminating noise can dramatically improve decision-making and execution.The episode also provides a practical 5-step process to create clarity, emphasizing that clarity is not something you wait for—it's something you build through action. If you've been overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next move, this episode offers a clear roadmap to regain control, sharpen your focus, and start making meaningful progress.Key Takeaways:Clarity Drives Results: Lack of clarity—not lack of talent—is the main reason people feel stuck and fail to gain momentum.Focus on What Matters Most: Reduce your goals and priorities to what truly moves the needle instead of trying to do everything.Execution Creates Clarity: Stop waiting for perfect direction—taking action is what generates clarity and progress.Eliminate Noise: Too much information leads to indecision; simplifying inputs leads to better decisions.Use a Clarity Filter: Align daily actions with your vision and eliminate anything that doesn't contribute to your goals.01:10 – Why Most People Feel Stuck (It's Not What You Think)02:00 – The Real Problem: Overwhelm, Noise, and Indecision03:00 – How Clarity Creates Power (Focus → Discipline → Results)03:30 – The 3 Types of Clarity: Vision, Purpose, Priorities05:00 – The 5-Step Process to Create Clarity07:00 – Common Mistakes That Kill Progress08:30 – Mindset Shift: Don't Find Clarity—Create It09:00 – Daily Questions to Build ClarityThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

I'm breaking down Trump's Strait of Hormuz blockade and why everyone losing their minds over it is completely missing the point because this is a calculated economic move that will bring Iran to its knees faster than anyone realizes. I'm also exposing why Alex Jones, Tucker, Candace, and Megyn Kelly are doing more damage to the MAGA movement than the left ever could and why Viktor Orbán's loss in Hungary is not the disaster people think it is.

Sustainable business growth really comes down to one thing, and it's not your mindset, branding, marketing, or visibility. Those pieces matter, but they aren't the foundation. The foundation to sustainable business growth is your metrics.If you've ever thought, “I want to make X, so I know I need Y clients to hit my revenue goal,” you're not wrong. That's a great starting point. However, it doesn't tell the full story of what actually needs to happen inside your business to make that number realistic, sustainable, and repeatable.In this episode, I'm sharing a framework I typically reserve for my one-on-one clients and walking you through the full framework step by step. Grab your notebook, because this episode will give you the clarity you need to turn your revenue goal into a real growth plan.

You're not lazy. You're not broken. Self-sabotage isn't a bad habit or a lack of willpower — it's shame-driven self-victimization rooted in childhood emotional injury. In this video, I show you exactly how self-sabotage works, why you keep doing it, and how to stop.If you've ever procrastinated on something you knew would change your life, blown up a good relationship, stayed in a career below your potential, or asked yourself “why do I keep getting in my own way?” — this video will finally explain why. Self-sabotage is a shame-driven power cycle created in childhood. It's not about motivation. It's about healing the emotional blueprint underneath.In this video you'll learn how childhood shame creates self-sabotage, how the Worst Day Cycle™ (Trauma → Fear → Shame → Denial) keeps the pattern locked in, how trauma chemistry makes your brain addicted to repeating painful choices, why you're afraid of success (not failure), how the Authentic Self Cycle™ (Truth → Responsibility → Healing → Forgiveness) breaks the loop, and one tool from the Emotional Authenticity Method™ you can use today.Self-sabotage is not a behavioral pattern — it is shame-driven self-victimization for power, rooted in childhood messages of worthlessness. The child who was powerless recreates failure in adulthood because choosing their own destruction gives them the control they never had. Kenny Weiss calls this the shame-driven power cycle.The Worst Day Cycle™ developed by Kenny Weiss explains how childhood trauma creates a four-stage loop: Trauma, Fear, Shame, and Denial. Self-sabotage occurs at the shame stage, where adults unconsciously choose destructive relationships, careers, and behaviors to reclaim the inherent power they lost in childhood. The cycle repeats because denial prevents conscious recognition of the pattern.Kenny Weiss distinguishes between fear of failure and fear of success. He argues that every person fears success, not failure, because success would require abandoning the survival persona — the false identity built in childhood to maintain parental attachment. Self-sabotage and procrastination are denial mechanisms that protect this survival persona from dissolution.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ by Kenny Weiss offers a five-step alternative to CBT and traditional therapy for self-sabotage: somatic down-regulation, emotional identification with granularity, body location of the feeling, earliest memory trace, and Authentic Self emergence. Unlike cognitive approaches that treat self-sabotage as a behavior to correct, this method targets the childhood emotional blueprint driving the pattern.Kenny Weiss is a trauma recovery and relationship coach, ICF Certified Professional Life Coach, and creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, Authentic Self Cycle™, and Emotional Authenticity Method™. 0:00 — The Lie You've Been Told About Self-Sabotage0:45 — What Self-Sabotage Actually Is (It's Not What You Think)2:15 — How Childhood Shame Steals Your Power4:00 — The Worst Day Cycle: Why You Keep Repeating the Pain6:00 — Trauma Chemistry: Why Your Brain Is Addicted to Self-Destruction7:30 — Fear of Success: The Truth Nobody Talks About9:00 — Denial: The Lies That Keep You Stuck10:15 — The Way Out: The Authentic Self Cycle11:30 — One Tool You Can Use Today: The Emotional Authenticity Method12:30 — You're Not Broken — You Were Programmed

What do women really want in 2026? I was asked to answer this at a recent summit where I was invited to speak. After taking time to reflect, two themes became clear. Clarity and cash flow. Not more hustle. Not more striving. Not more busy work or endless social media. Many women say they want peace and simplicity, yet still find themselves chasing strategies that leave them confused and exhausted. They are tired of second guessing their direction. They want clear steps. They also want consistent income. Because when cash flow is steady, it creates options. It allows you to support your family, give generously, and build without chaos or panic producing. In this episode, I break down why clarity must come first and how true cash flow becomes the fruit of serving the Lord faithfully through your business. This training will help you refocus on what actually produces aligned growth so you can build with direction, peace, and sustainable income. I pray this blesses you!   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp! I'll show you how to create a podcast that makes steady income on autopilot—without relying on social media.
