For something that we do every single day, and something that has the power to change every aspect of our life, we sure don't focus on, train, or develop it. And, that thing is conversation. Nothing great ever happened in your life without, first, a conversation – no promotions, no jobs, no clients, no dates, nothing. My guest today, Payam Pakmanesh (known as "The Convo Guy") is here to explain why and, more importantly, how we can build and develop our ability to communicate more effectively. We cover the proper principles of communication, Adlerian Psychology and how it helps you focus on what you can control, the "Zoom Flow" model for deeper connection, how to make yourself more approachable, and becoming aware of how others perceive you.

#679 If you've been posting on social media and still not seeing growth, this conversation explains exactly why! In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with social media expert and former theater-kid-turned-entrepreneur, Jenna Harding, to pull back the curtain on Instagram strategy for service-based business owners. Jenna shares how she went from resisting social media to running a thriving agency and teaching entrepreneurs how to grow, nurture, and sell with intentional content. She breaks down the three core types of Instagram posts, why most service providers get stuck in “nurture mode,” and how to simplify growth by having a plan, creating engaging formats, and letting imperfect posts hit the feed. If you've been consistent on social but still not growing, this episode is a mindset-reset and a tactical masterclass in using Instagram as a real business tool — not just a creative outlet! What we discuss with Jenna: + Transition from actor to social media expert + Why service providers over-focus on nurture content + Growth vs. nurture vs. sales posts + How intentional planning beats random posting + B-roll, hooks, and engaging formats + Getting over perfection and “just posting” + Why engagement attractors matter + Selling a little all the time + Making content fun and personal Thank you, Jenna!

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. A woman in a flowing gown and heels carefully straps on knee pads, positions herself at the top of a staircase, and deliberately throws herself down the stairs. It sounds absurd. Maybe even reckless. But when you understand why Michelle Lang does this—and what it represents—it becomes one of the most honest conversations about motherhood you'll ever encounter. After 12 years away from her career as a professional stunt performer, Lang has returned to throwing herself off buildings, getting hit by cars, and tumbling down staircases. But this isn't just about revisiting old skills. It's about what happens when mothers finally get enough mental space to ask themselves a devastating question: "Who am I if I'm not just someone's mom?"

Through reflection and heartfelt honesty, they explore three powerful lessons each has learned along the way.

In this episode, we explore what it means to bring retirement energy into your business—without actually retiring. It's not about checking out or lounging away your days, but about approaching your work with freedom, purpose, and playfulness. Key Themes: Redefining "Retirement" Retirement energy means doing what you love and using your time intentionally, not escaping work altogether. It's about shifting from obligation to choice. From Burnout to Flow Erin shares her journey from being a workaholic to building space and rest into her schedule—starting by taking Fridays off for self-investment and creative exploration. The Tending Triad Drawing from our book Superabound, we revisit three sustaining pillars: Nurture your mind, body, and spirit. Stay connected to your big vision (through practices like "Coffee with the Oracle"). Maintain strong personal filters that align your actions with your values. Business as a Game Steve reframes entrepreneurship as an elaborate, creative puzzle rather than a grind. Seeing challenges as "moves" in a game can turn stress into curiosity and fun. Quality Over Hustle Chasing quick wins (like mass emails or forced growth tactics) can leave you disillusioned. Building with integrity and delight creates lasting results—and a business you actually enjoy running. You'll find that retirement energy isn't about stepping back—it's about stepping into a way of working that feels aligned, sustainable, and alive. When you treat business like an art form instead of a race, you make space for joy, creativity, and legacy. Connect with us: Email hello@besuperabound.com or find us on Instagram @besuperabound.

In the design industry, clarity is power. Whether you're running a firm with a business partner, leading a solo practice with or without a team, or collaborating with your spouse, like today's guests, how you divide tasks can make or break your projects and your business. Marli Jones and Michael Kreuser share how they define their roles, delegate responsibilities like procurement and project management, and rely on trusted team members to keep every project running smoothly. There's real value in having clear job descriptions—for project managers, operations managers, and even for yourself—so that creativity can flourish without chaos. In this episode: - Establish clear roles and responsibilities—clarity eliminates confusion. - Define ownership and decision-making authority from the start. - Use contracts and agreements to keep partnerships clean and professional. - Build systems and processes before you delegate. - Separate creative work from operations for balance and efficiency. - Foster a culture that accepts mistakes and learns from them. - Choose clients based on fit, not just project size or budget. - Let process create space for creativity and innovation. - Empower your team with trust, autonomy, and shared accountability. - Nurture strong relationships with clients, trades, and vendors.
Proverbs 22:6You nurture when you cultivate your children and help them know who they are. It's a bit like cultivating bamboo. You put a lot of work in and don't see many results at first but perseverance pays off!

Many women allow their children to stand in the gap and suffer to keep heat off of them as the mom, to keep the man, or just to get what they want! It is destroying, devastating, and causing destruction in the lives of their children. I truly pray for children growing up in today's world. Moms and dads should protect their children. Mom's should be nurturers, teachers, and protectors of their children. Adults in general should protect children, and not use and abuse them!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

This week is all about pausing, reflecting, and realigning before we move forward. With two big retrogrades and the powerful 11/11 portal happening back-to-back, the energy helps us course-correct before we enter a brand-new 9-year cycle in January. Mercury Retrograde begins this week, bringing the usual tech glitches, travel delays, and communication mix-ups, but it's ultimately a cosmic slowdown for clarity and alignment. Mercury retrogrades back into Sagittarius, shifting the focus from external chaos to our direction in life. Sagittarius rules truth, purpose, vision, and intuition, so don't be surprised if you start questioning your plans, your goals, or your story. This retrograde asks: “Is the path I'm on still aligned with who I'm becoming?” It's a time of inner review, realizations, and course-correcting. Remember, if something doesn't work out, it's usually because something better is on the way. Just two days later, Jupiter goes retrograde in Cancer, bringing four months of emotional healing and inner expansion. Mercury retrograde is the mental review, while Jupiter retrograde is the emotional one. During this time, growth is happening from the inside out. Nurture yourself, soften, and ask: “Where do I need to care for myself more so I can grow?” We're also supported by a beautiful Jupiter–Saturn trine. This helps life flow more smoothly socially and gives us a deeper sense of belonging. This energy reminds us we're not just witnessing what's happening in the world, we're shaping it. Then we flow straight into the 11/11 portal, one of the highest-frequency days of the year for intention-setting. Master number 11 is about intuition and alignment, and when doubled, it opens a powerful spiritual doorway. This year, with the retrogrades, 11/11 isn't about manifesting more, it's about aligning with what's meant for you. Think less hustle, more divine flow. Listen for signs, synchronicities, and guidance. This week is not for action, it's for realignment. Slow down, reflect, and let the universe show you the path.

From learning to compartmentalize her roles as a mom, entrepreneur, and partner, to realizing the importance of focusing on what you want, Amanda's insights are a game-changer.

Special Guest Victoria Rader https://MyGiftOffer.com Welcome back to another episode of the Podcast Profits Unleash Podcast, where I help coaches and consultants leverage podcasting—both as a guest and a host—to grow their audience and get more clients. Today, I'm beyond excited to introduce a truly transformative guest, Victoria Rader, who guides purpose-driven individuals to quantum leap into joy and freedom by aligning with their divine worth and unlocking limitless possibilities. If you've been feeling stuck in the grind or sensing there's more waiting for you, this episode is your invitation to expand into it. Victoria shares her remarkable journey—from growing up as a gifted child in Ukraine to becoming a quantum expert—and how she learned to embrace her unique gifts despite societal pressure to conform. She reveals how our energy, thoughts, and questions shape our reality, and how we can consciously navigate our own quantum field to manifest joy and success. Victoria provides practical exercises and mindset shifts to help you reconnect with your infinite worth, including: Grounding into your physical body while affirming your unlimited potential: “I am an unlimited being, accepting from the unlimited source in unlimited ways.” Shifting limiting questions: Replacing “How could this happen?” with “What is the best action I can take?” to create higher frequency outcomes. Bridge beliefs: Small, believable affirmations like “Every day in every way, my life is a little better,” to move from feeling stuck to quantum leaping. Honoring emotions: Celebrating confusion and embracing feelings like anger or fear without judgment, so they don't sabotage your growth. Victoria also breaks down the three core paradigms that limit access to abundance: “I'm not enough,” “I don't belong,” and “What I want is out of reach,” and how awareness of these patterns allows us to shift our inner frequency and reclaim our power. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away inspired, empowered, and equipped to start your own journey toward joy, freedom, and unlimited possibility. Resources & Links: Free quantum ebook: mygiftoffer.com Journals & book: meseries.com YouTube: Shine Channel Stay tuned after the ads—I'll also share actionable tips on how to shine as a podcast guest. https://yu2shine.com https://youtube.com/@quantum-me https://www.instagram.com/vica_rader https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriarader/ https://www.facebook.com/Yu2shine/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/freemegroup Welcome back to the Podcast Profits Unleash Podcast! After an inspiring conversation with Victoria Rader about quantum leaping into joy and freedom, I'm diving into a topic every coach and consultant needs to master: how to show up and shine as a podcast guest. From the moment you appear on a podcast, you're already sending a message. How prepared you are, the energy you bring, and whether you're there to truly connect—or just perform—says everything about how you show up in your business. In this episode, I share the key principles I use and teach to help guests create a powerful impact: Key Takeaways: Preparation matters: Arrive on time, have a quiet space, check your lighting, and test your tech. Being ready shows respect for the host and sets the tone for a professional recording. Energy over ego: Show up with presence, clarity, and authenticity. Hosts notice frazzled or self-centered guests—and it reflects on your business. Relationship first, audience second: Hosts aren't just conduits to listeners—they could become clients, referral partners, or the bridge to your next big opportunity. Nurture that relationship. Polish doesn't require price: You don't need an expensive studio; a low-cost mic, good lighting, and simple sound fixes demonstrate that you take the interview seriously. Strategic storytelling: Your story and the way you communicate it can shift listeners' beliefs and open doors for business opportunities. Podcast ROI: When approached intentionally, podcast guesting can become a 24/7 lead generation engine—turning conversations into clients and collaborations.

Host Will Humphreys welcomes back guests Jared and Afton Egan, co-owners of ERA Physical Therapy, to dive deep into a profound topic: Culture. This isn't just a business conversation, it's about how the intentional culture you build at work can transform your family life.Jared and Afton, married for four years and running their successful clinic for over a year and a half, share the foundational elements of their thriving business: their Purpose, Vision, and Values.Key Takeaways from ERA Physical Therapy's Culture:Company Purpose: To make an impact through every ERA of life, treating all ages from infants to the elderly.Company Values: Built around the acronym IMPACT (Integrity, Mastery, Professionalism, Accountability, Candid Care, Team), emphasizing a "we are family" approach.Vision: Growth-minded, aiming for three clinics in three years, and intentionally hiring "the right people" who align with their values.Branding & The Human Element: Afton, with a background in interior design and fashion marketing, details how every element of the clinic's design, messaging, and stellar social media is intentionally built to communicate their core culture, prioritizing the patient's nervous system and overall experience.Living the Culture: The Egans share tangible examples, from monthly team gatherings (pickleball!) to connecting with employees weekly, where metrics serve as a measurement of how well they are living their values, not the primary focus. Their true mission is building humans.The Slogan: Decisions Determine Destiny, a core belief that actions have a massive impact.Family Values: Built on the acronym DESTINY (Discipline, Empathy, Service, Tenacity, Integrity, Nurture, Yield).Family Purpose: To "become limitless, not by chance, but by choice."Co-Creation & Buy-In: They discuss the pivotal importance of involving their children in co-creating the family's purpose and values, fostering buy-in and allowing the values to become the frame for coaching and holding each other accountable.The Core Insight: Will shares a profound realization: a work team is also a blended family of individuals from different backgrounds. The Egans, being "built for building blended families," offer a unique, powerful model for leadership at work and at home. They discuss how setting clear agreements (culture) and not just boundaries is the key to creating lasting bonds and a place everyone can call home.This is a must-listen for leaders, parents, and anyone striving for alignment between their professional and personal lives. Your work team is a blended family—learn how to lead it like one.Follow our Instagram for more content like this that resonates your life, business, leadership and health @willpowerprojectSend us a textVirtual Rockstars specialize in helping support or replace all non-clinical roles.Learn how a Virtual Rockstar can help scale your physical therapy practice.Subscribe here to our completely free Stress-Free PT Newsletter for your weekly dose of joy.

Today's sermon continued our series on marriage, using the metaphor of a garden to explore how to keep a marriage fruitful and alive. Just as a garden needs fertilizer to keep producing, marriages need intentional investment to stay healthy and vibrant. Drawing from Ephesians 5:25-33, we looked at seven “fertilizers” for marriage: creativity, appreciation, physical touch, knowledge, friendship, calmness, and the gospel covenant. Through personal stories, practical advice, and biblical insight, we were challenged to actively nurture our marriages, not letting them grow stale or depleted. The ultimate foundation is the gospel itself—a covenant of grace, selflessness, and security that shapes how we love and serve our spouse.

In this episode Cath was joined by Dr Kathrin Stauffer. They chatted about how the body remembers in multiple ways and how not getting what we need in childhood impacts multiple systems in our bodies (not just the nervous system). When we are on a healing journey the expression of sadness and grieving are an important part of this journey. However, it may be that we are blocked from crying by our defences. We dived into this and talked about food, body shape, body psychotherapy, the the function of comfort eating, shame and much more. Kathrin Stauffer PhD, UKCP Registered Body Psychotherapist, is the author of ‘Emotional Neglect and the Adult in Therapy: Lifelong Consequences to a Lack of Early Attunement' (W.W. Norton 2020).Kathrin was born and educated in Switzerland. Originally a research biochemist, she retrained at the Chiron Centre for Body Psychotherapy. She lives in Cambridge in the UK and works in private practice as a body and humanistic psychotherapist, EMDR practitioner, trainer and supervisor. She previously wrote ‘Anatomy & Physiology for Psychotherapists: connecting Body & Soul' (W.W. Norton 2010).

Send us a textWelcome back to the show! I hope you enjoy this episode - it's not a typical episode; instead, it's more of a guided walk-through of the ReFRAME process, a six-phase model for personal and identity transformation.Do you feel like you're not quite sure who you're becoming, but you know you're not who you were? Identity discovery is a fluid, ongoing practice of communication between our past, present, and emerging selves, and the ReFRAME model exists to help you through it. The class-style session introduces each phase with short explanations and reflective exercises.Recognize – Becoming aware that something no longer fits and identifying the gap between external expectations and inner truth through the Identity Gap Audit.The little e – Choosing an emotional current—Kindness → Joy → Love → Confidence → Gratitude → Grace—as the controllable energy that powers all other steps.Feel – Allowing emotions to surface and interpreting them as information using the Feel & Flow Scan (Name it, Notice it, Nurture it).Reflect – Making meaning from emotion and identifying personal narratives with the Reframe the Story exercise, transforming limiting beliefs into new perspectives.Articulate – Giving language to the new understanding through the IRL Identity Map (“Right now, I am someone who …”), turning inner truth into lived communication.Move – Translating awareness into action with the GROW Action Plan (Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward) and committing to one aligned micro-movement.Embody – Integrating the work through the Identity Embodiment Exercise (Before, Current, Becoming) and a daily affirmation that anchors the desired state.Beginning In November, you'll be able to dig deeper into this process by subscribing to the Reframing Circle for bonus content. And in January, you will be able to really do a deep dive in a six-week course. I hope you'll join me on this wonderful journey!Thank you for listening and being part of this community!

What actually shapes the way we connect with our babies? Our biology or our environment? In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Rocio Zunini to unpack the wildly fascinating science of parenthood and attachment styles. You'll learn how your brain literally changes during pregnancy and parenting (yes, your brain rewires itself!), why nurturing is far more powerful than we ever realized, and how those early interactions shape lifelong emotional regulation and resilience. Dr. Zunini breaks down groundbreaking research on how nurturing behavior in animals translates to humans, from secure to anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles and what that means for how we show up as parents. They also dig into how mothers' and fathers' brains adapt differently, the critical role of “allo parents” (those loving caregivers beyond mom and dad), and how awareness and mindful connection can actually rewrite generational patterns. If you've ever wondered how to raise emotionally secure, confident kiddos or how your own upbringing plays a role in the parent you're becoming, this one's a must-listen.

Open Enrollment Reactivation: How Clinics Turn Past Patients into Six-Figure Months (with Jeremy Dupont) In this episode, Doc Danny Matta sits down with Jeremy Dupont (founder of Patch) to break down the most reliable campaign in cash PT: Open Enrollment. They cover simple and advanced playbooks for reactivating past patients, the offers that convert (and why), how to mobilize your team, and what realistic results look like for a growing clinic. Quick Ask Help us move toward our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to physical therapy—share this episode with a clinician friend or post it on your Instagram stories and tag Danny. He'll reshare it! Episode Summary Low-hanging fruit: Reactivation beats cold lead gen. Past patients already know, like, and trust you—bring them back with a clear, time-bound offer. Timing that works: Run Open Enrollment mid-September to early November to avoid competing with Black Friday and holiday noise. Proven offers: Classic 12 for 10 pack (two “free” visits or a clear $-savings) and a higher-commitment 24 for 20 pack (often on a 3-pay plan) to grow LTV and stabilize MRR. Clinical cadence: Frame packages for twice-monthly visits (habit & outcomes), not “stretch it for a year.” Families often share bigger packs. FSA nudge: “Use it or lose it.” Encourage spending FSA dollars before year-end; HSA rolls, FSA often doesn't. Manual > fancy: Individual reach-outs (text, call, in-person) outperform gimmicks. Emails nurture; humans convert. Team power: Involve providers in personalized follow-ups. Incentives like a Christmas week off can crush goals. Results you can expect: A clinic with an owner + two staff PTs commonly sells 20–30 packages when they execute well. Lessons & Takeaways Offer clarity wins: Know exactly what you're selling and how you'll message savings and value. Context is king: Choose channels and scope based on capacity. Don't flood a full schedule. Nurture all year: A warm list responds; a cold list ignores asks. Give value before you ask. Plan the calendar: Open Enrollment → Black Friday → Holidays → New Year. Map campaigns, staffing, and hiring to demand. Mindset & Motivation It's an ecosystem: Reactivation is part of your hiring, space, continuity, and cashflow strategy—not a one-off promo. Follow-up is a skill: Segmented, human follow-up turns “maybe later” into revenue now. Give, give, ask: Consistent education builds reciprocity. Then earn the right to sell. What Works (Tactical) Simple path (solo or lean): Pick one clear offer (12 for 10), email your list, text/call past patients, and have providers invite current patients who are nearly out of visits. Advanced path (bigger teams): 5–6 email drip over 2–3 weeks, landing page specific to Open Enrollment (not your contact page), track opens/clicks and manually follow up with “warm” engagers. Personalization buckets: Current patients with 2–3 visits left, past patients who finished care recently, old leads who inquired but didn't buy—each gets tailored copy and a direct ask. Motivate the team: Group goals (e.g., hit X packages = Christmas week off). Time off > small cash bonuses. Avoid time wasters: Fancy video email “personalization” tools didn't move the needle. In-person and 1:1 messages did. Notable Quotes “Reactivation is the lowest hanging fruit—people who already trust you just need a clear reason to come back.” “If the last time you emailed your list was last Open Enrollment, don't expect fireworks.” “Less is more: pick the right window, keep the offer simple, and follow up like a pro.” Pro Tips for Owners Define the offer: Choose 12 for 10 or 24 for 20 (with 3-pay). Set the clinical cadence (2x/month). Own the landing page: Dedicated Open Enrollment page with a single CTA—don't dump traffic on a generic contact form. Mine your analytics: Build manual follow-up lists from people who opened multiple times or clicked the CTA. Right-size promotion: If you're at capacity, keep it tight (email + in-clinic). If you're feeding 6–7 PTs, amplify everywhere. Think families: Position bigger packs for active households who'll share visits across the year. Action Items Pick your Open Enrollment dates (target mid-Sept to early Nov) and one offer. Spin up a simple landing page with FAQs and a clear “Talk to Us” form. Segment lists: current (low visits left), past 3–6 mo, old leads. Draft 3 tailored scripts. Schedule a 5-email drip and build warm-engager follow-up tasks for your team. Set a team goal & reward (e.g., holiday week off) and daily scoreboard.
