What if the thing keeping you awake isn't only what happened today — but the way you're talking to yourself about it?

You need more clients. So you start posting more, creating more content, tweaking your offer, or wondering if you need an entirely new strategy.But what if you're starting in the wrong place?In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what I do when I need clients—and why creating more content is NOT the first step in my sales process.Instead, I'm walking you through the simple sales system I use to figure out how many sales I actually need, identify potential clients already in my world, generate new leads, nurture relationships, follow up, make offers, and track what's actually happening in my pipeline.We're talking about:How to turn “I need more clients” into an actual sales goalWhy I start with warm leads before looking for new onesHow I approach lead generation without cold pitching strangersWhat it actually means to nurture potential clientsWhy following up is part of serving people wellHow to build and work a simple sales pipelineThe numbers I look at before changing an offer, sales page, or strategyWhy sales shouldn't become an emergency every time you need moneyBecause you don't need to spend all day selling—and you definitely don't need to spend all day creating content just to keep your business profitable.You need a simple, intentional sales process you can return to again and again.Know the goal. Generate leads. Work your pipeline. Nurture. Follow up. Make offers. Track. Repeat.You don't have to spend all day selling.But you do have to sell on purpose.If you're wondering which part of YOUR sales process needs attention right now, start with the 10-Minute Sales Reset. I'll walk you through your leads, pipeline, sales activity, and numbers so you can identify the gap and know what to focus on next.Links mentioned / referenced in this episode:10-Minute Sales Reset: https://momsdobusinessdifferent.com/10minutesalesreset

My guest today is Tom Bilyeu, the entrepreneur behind Quest Nutrition who went on to build Impact Theory into one of the most watched long form interview channels in the world. Tom is now building a procedurally generated video game called Kyzen, and in recent years his content has shifted away from personal development and toward economics, artificial intelligence, and the systems that quietly shape how we live. I wanted to sit with him inside that shift, to understand what pulled him away from the mindset conversation he had mastered and toward questions about money, power, and the trajectory of intelligence itself.What We Dive Into:1. Tom credits his success to a simple loop: predict an outcome, run the experiment, and stay honest about what actually happened. He treats being wrong as useful data rather than a threat to his identity, which lets him adjust quickly instead of defending a position that clearly isn't working anymore.2. Tom argues that meaning isn't discovered but handed to us by evolution as an empty box we get to fill. For him that box holds his wife and his work, and he believes people struggle most when whatever filled the box, a job, a role, a relationship, disappears and nothing takes its place.3. Tom's core financial message is that not owning assets quietly erodes your purchasing power through inflation, whether you notice it or not. He believes the escape route is available to almost anyone, but most people never take the step of investing consistently over decades instead of waiting for certainty.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

In this episode, hosts Jason and Joelle chat with Jessica Stacey, Manager, Prevention Education and Training at icare NSW. Jess shares icare's research into how leaders influence psychosocial safety across the workers compensation journey, from prevention through to recovery and return to work. We chat about the Notice, Nurture, Navigate framework that helps leaders turn psychosocial hazards into everyday decisions, why delayed reporting of psychological injury claims costs so much, and how the Connect and Care pilot gave leaders the confidence to stay connected with injured workers.

In our study of Philippians, we will see a church created by the sovereign grace of God, united in Christ, and participating together in the gospel. From the Lord opening Lydia's heart in Acts 16 to Paul's confidence that “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion,” we will see that Christ is faithfully building His Church. As we walk through this letter, we will discover who we are in Christ, why we are His people, and therefore how we are to live—serving one another, striving together for the gospel, growing in love, rejoicing in the Lord, and learning with Paul to be content in whatever circumstances the Lord appoints. Together we will press on to know Christ and eagerly await the day of Christ, confident that the One who began His work in us will complete it, all to the glory and praise of God.DiscoverWhat makes Christ's Church different from every other human organization? How should this difference be seen in the way a local church lives together? How does God use other believers to help you become more like Christ? NurtureWhat could tempt you to compromise the Gospel and how could other believers help you stand firm?What would it look like to strive side by side for the gospel instead of merely attending church together? How do the promises of Christ Jesus encourage you when opposition makes you hesitant to live or speak for Him? Act What one specific action could you take this week to help nurture the unity the Holy Spirit has created in your church? Is there someone in your church whom the Lord may be prompting you to encourage, listen to, or serve this week?

This sermon addresses the normative struggle believers face between their flesh and the Spirit, defining hypocrisy as the gap between profession and practice. Drawing on the teachings of Thomas Watson and Scripture, the message outlines a six-step process for transforming areas of hypocrisy into sincerity: identification, confession, conversation, consecration, amputation, and appropriation. The speaker emphasizes the necessity of using biblical language to identify sin, owning it through confession, and engaging in relational dialogue with God. Furthermore, it calls for a dedicated consecration of the mind and heart, the radical amputation of sinful habits, and the appropriation of Christ's power for sanctification. The tone is pastoral and convicting, urging the congregation to pursue a life of integrity where the heart aligns with the lips.

Waarom leert het ene kind bijna vanzelf lezen, terwijl een ander ondanks veel oefening blijft worstelen in de klas? En hoeveel daarvan wordt specifiek bepaald door onderwijs, opvoeding en de directe leefomgeving van het kind zelf? En wat ligt al vast door erfelijke aanleg? Wetenschapper Elsje van Bergen bestudeert het samenspel tussen deze factoren. Zo volgt ze de ontwikkeling van tweelingen, soms in grote internationale studies om beter te begrijpen waarom kinderen van elkaar verschillen in de ontwikkeling van lezen en rekenen. Dit levert opvallende inzichten op. Zo blijkt uit tweelingonderzoek dat ongeveer driekwart van de verschillen tussen kinderen in technisch lezen samenhangt met verschillen in aanleg. Ook het verband tussen het opleidingsniveau van ouders en de schoolprestaties van hun kinderen blijkt volgens haar onderzoek voor een aanzienlijk deel samen te hangen met genetische overdracht. Wat betekent dit voor een school? Gerichte interventies kunnen effect hebben, maar kinderen verschillen in hoeveel (en welke) ondersteuning ze nodig hebben. Ook bij leren lezen is oorzaak en gevolg niet altijd wat je intuïtief verwacht of denkt. Kinderen die beter leren lezen, gaan mede daardoor meer lezen en krijgen er (dus) meer plezier in. Het gesprek draait daarom niet om nature óf nurture, maar om nature én nurture. Deze blik vraagt om (meer) nuance in het onderwijs. Verschillen tussen leerlingen verdwijnen niet automatisch door iedereen precies hetzelfde aanbod te geven in één klas, maar ze zijn tegelijkertijd ook niet onveranderlijk. Juist door beter te begrijpen welke verschillen samenhangen met aanleg en waar de omgeving wél invloed heeft, ontstaat ruimte voor gerichtere ondersteuning. Niet om leerlingen vast te zetten op basis van hun achtergrond of aanleg, maar om beter te zien wie op welk moment iets extra's nodig heeft. Kernpunten uit het gesprek:

"The Secret Love of Plants" - a wellbeing blog for Moodscope I talk to plants. There. I've said it. Fortunately, they rarely argue back. … There's something wonderfully therapeutic about sharing space with something that is quietly getting on with being alive. No targets. No emails. No performance review. Just… Light. Water. Soil. Time. And somehow, LIFE happens. I think plants may understand mental wellbeing rather better than we do. They don't flourish every day. They have seasons. They lose leaves. They droop. They become pot-bound. Sometimes they need feeding. Sometimes pruning. Sometimes simply moving closer to the Light. Sound familiar? … Research increasingly tells us that being around plants and participating in gardening can reduce stress and support our mental wellbeing. But perhaps our bodies knew that before our research did. Put your hands into soil. Smell rosemary rubbed between your fingers. Notice the outrageous green of a new leaf. Watch a seed perform the utterly ridiculous miracle of becoming something hundreds of times its original size…Think of Sunflowers. You don't have to understand photosynthesis to be changed by it. … And perhaps that's the therapeutic gift. Plants gently remind us that not all growth looks like growth. A seed beneath the soil may appear to be doing absolutely nothing. A tree in winter can look half-dead. Neither is necessarily stuck. There may be LIFE happening where we cannot yet see it. Perhaps that's true of us too. So, this week, find something green. Touch it. Smell it. Water it. Nurture it. Grow something. And, particularly if you're having one of those weeks when you feel you're achieving absolutely nothing… …sit beside a plant. You may discover you're both quietly growing.

9th Sep 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay facilitated a post-retreat sharing session where participants discussed their experiences from a recent Satsang retreat held at Arunachala, India. Attendees shared their profound experiences, including feelings of bliss, silence, and deep spiritual connection that continued even after returning home. Participants described how the retreat transformed their spiritual practices and understanding, with some reporting ongoing shifts in energy and connection to the divine. Sanjay emphasized that the spiritual experiences were not dependent on location or specific methods, but rather on the pure intention and silence shared among participants, encouraging everyone to maintain their connection to the truth and continue their spiritual practices.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

I sat down with Dr. Shefali, clinical psychologist trained at Columbia and the voice behind the Conscious Parenting Movement for over two decades, to explore what it really means to parent from awareness instead of ego. We talk about the illusion of the perfect parent, why children are our greatest mirrors, and how the wounds we carry from our own childhoods get passed down unless we do the work to see them clearly. Dr. Shefali doesn't offer a script. She offers a practice of humility, one that asks us to look at ourselves before we look at our kids.What We Dive Into:1. Dr. Shefali explains that most parenting struggles trace back to ego, the desire to control, to be right, to see your child as an extension of your own unmet dreams. Real conscious parenting means constantly questioning whether your actions come from your child's essence or your own unresolved story.2. Without rites of passage or male mentors, boys are left to figure out masculinity through porn and the manosphere. Dr. Shefali argues that testosterone, purpose, and physical challenge need healthy outlets, and that community, not isolation, is what turns raw masculine energy into something protective and grounded.3. Dr. Shefali describes how social media exploits children's developing brains, especially girls', feeding insecurity and manufacturing endless standards to chase. She calls it algorithmic abduction, a process that outsources parenting itself and leaves children disconnected from their own inner voice.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

Do you actually want more of the business you've already got?In this episode, Katie talks about why "fully booked" has become such a status symbol in the wedding industry, even though it tells us very little about how profitable, stable or enjoyable a business actually is.We look at the difference between turnover and what you're actually left with, why doing fewer weddings can sometimes create a stronger business, and how to use what you've learned during this wedding season to make better decisions about next year.Katie also talks about why enquiry numbers and Instagram followers can give you a false sense of how well your marketing is working. If you've had 30 enquiries, what happened to them? If Instagram disappeared tomorrow, would you still know where your next booking was coming from?And with engagement season getting closer, we talk about why September is such an important time to fix the gaps in your business, rather than waiting until couples are already searching and enquiring.Why being fully booked doesn't necessarily mean you've built a profitable wedding businessThe hidden cost of taking on more weddings when your pricing or structure isn't workingWhy fewer, better bookings could be more valuable than a packed diaryWhat this summer's weddings can teach you about the business you want next yearWhy enquiry numbers don't matter if you're not tracking what happens afterwardsThe question to ask if Instagram disappeared tomorrowWhy September is the time to prepare your wedding business for engagement seasonHow to make sure more enquiries actually lead to more bookingsOn 29th September, Katie is hosting a free masterclass for wedding business owners who want to get their business into the strongest possible position before engagement season.We'll look at where your bookings are being won and lost, whether your marketing is attracting the right couples, what happens after somebody enquires, and where to focus your attention now so you're not trying to fix everything once engagement season has already started.Register for the masterclass:https://masterclass.wedproceo.com/booking-genius WedPro Studio has been built specifically for wedding businesses, combining AI with real wedding industry sales, marketing and business strategy.Inside you'll find WedPro Sales, Content, Nurture, email writing, terms and your own Business Brain, which learns about your business, brand, clients and voice so the help you get becomes specific to your business rather than generic.It's there to help you create better marketing, respond to enquiries, follow up couples who've gone quiet, write email sequences and make more confident business decisions without spending hours staring at a blank screen.Take a look at WedPro Studio:https://www.wedprostudio.comIf you enjoyed this episode, follow The WedPro Podcast so you don't miss the next one, and send this episode to a wedding business friend who needs to hear it.Episode Highlights Get ready for engagement season Try WedPro Studio

Hello and welcome back to Jo's Art History Podcast.

Their work will be shown as part of the Born To exhibition at British Art Fair this September.The ArtistRichard Wilshire studied Art and Design at university in the 1990s, but found himself pulled into the early digital media industry, designing websites, and gradually moving away from making into management and strategy. By the early 2020s he felt something was missing, and began making again quietly in his garden garage, working with offcuts of wood and found objects. This year Richard was shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, a significant milestone for a practice that, until now, has existed mostly on his website and Instagram. This will be his first public showing.Featured works: Nature vs Nurture, Waveform, Autumn Oak & Four Letter WordWebsite: www.richardwilshire.com Instagram: @richardwilshirePensionBeeThis episode's PensionBee segment asks: why do women need to engage with their pensions even more?Thank you to our partner PensionBee, a leading online pension provider on a mission to build pension confidence so that everyone can enjoy a happy retirement.

I sit down with Dr. Trish Leigh, a cognitive neuroscientist and neurofeedback clinician, to unpack what pornography and screen compulsions can do to the brain, from dopamine dependency and hypersexuality to sexual dysfunction and impaired self-regulation. We explore why so many men struggle to break the habit, how pornography can become a tool for managing stress and boredom, and why simply trying to quit often isn't enough.Dr. Leigh explains how the brain can be rewired through repetition, healthier sources of dopamine, intentional routines, and what she calls the “instant rewire.” We also talk about shame, relationships, parenting, ADHD symptoms, and how rebuilding a healthier brain can help men create the life and relationships they actually want.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:01 - What Happens in the Brain Before You Open Porn02:49 - Dopamine and the Screen Compulsion Loop04:32 - Dopamine, Testosterone, and the Brain06:11 - Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction07:09 - How Porn Changes Sexual Arousal09:04 - Novelty, Intensity, and Hypersexuality12:25 - Why Men Use Porn for Stress and Boredom15:16 - Rewiring the Brain Through Dopamine Stacking17:21 - High Libido vs. Hypersexuality20:24 - How Porn Changes the Way You See Women23:58 - What a “Hijacked” Brain Looks Like27:38 - The Prefrontal Cortex vs. the “Banana-Hungry Gorilla”30:00 - Replacing Porn With Real-World Dopamine32:24 - Your Brain Is Not Broken - It's Been Conditioned35:20 - Neuroplasticity and the Rigid Brain40:51 - Porn, ADHD Symptoms, and Brain Function43:12 - Nature, Nurture, and How We Train the Brain45:37 - Teaching Kids Emotional Regulation48:17 - Is It Your Relationship or Your Brain?52:39 - Breaking the Cycle of Shame54:42 - A Step-by-Step Plan to Rewire Your Brain57:00 - The Three-Second “Instant Rewire”59:01 - Building Routines That Replace Porn01:00:52 - Setting the GPS for the Life You Want01:03:10 - Where to Find Dr. Trish Leigh***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Jesus taught that marriage requires maturity and that not everyone is mature enough for married life. One sign of maturity is being prepared to have and nurture children. When God created marriage, He commanded Adam and his wife to be fruitful and multiply. Thus, one of the main goals of godly marriage is to have children. Although some marriages do not produce children, if you are considering marriage, you need to be prepared for the possibility of having children and ready to raise them in the admonition of the Lord. __________ Malachi 2:15 NLT, Titus 2:4-5 NLT, 1 Timothy 3:4-5 NLT, and Ephesians 6:4 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

In our study of Philippians, we will see a church created by the sovereign grace of God, united in Christ, and participating together in the gospel. From the Lord opening Lydia's heart in Acts 16 to Paul's confidence that “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion,” we will see that Christ is faithfully building His Church. As we walk through this letter, we will discover who we are in Christ, why we are His people, and therefore how we are to live—serving one another, striving together for the gospel, growing in love, rejoicing in the Lord, and learning with Paul to be content in whatever circumstances the Lord appoints. Together we will press on to know Christ and eagerly await the day of Christ, confident that the One who began His work in us will complete it, all to the glory and praise of God.DiscoverHow would you define and describe a Christian? Does Philippians 1:1-11 change your answer? Why?What in your life are most sure of? Does Philippians 1:1-11 change your answer? How?NurtureWhat are you thankful for? How would thanking God for the people He has placed in your life change the way you pray for them? How are you “partnering” in the gospel with Christ's Church? Act What would be necessary for your love to “abound more and more”? What would that look like to those around you? Would your life change if you knew “the day of the Christ” was a year from today? What does your answer reveal about the way you are living today? 

What would change if you stopped measuring a good life by how much you can fit into it—and started measuring it by how well your energy supports what matters most?

What if balance is not something you achieve once, but something you keep returning to—one choice at a time? Welcome to Day 6 of our 7-day meditation series, Brahmacharya: The Art of Moderation — Protect Your Energy & Restore Balance.

What if the constant desire for more is quietly using the very energy you're trying to protect? Welcome to Day 5 of our 7-day meditation series, Brahmacharya: The Art of Moderation — Protect Your Energy & Restore Balance.

Host Kaile Garcia welcomes expert mama Aisha Owens to discuss postpartum workouts with a focus on hitting protein goals during the fourth trimester and beyond. Aisha shares her transition from vegan to pescatarian after pregnancy cravings, her difficult postpartum period with anxiety, and how returning to movement supported her mental health with encouragement from her husband. They discuss practical protein guidance (aiming for at least half of body weight in grams), the high calorie burn of nursing, and simple high-protein foods and meal-prep ideas including protein smoothies, Greek yogurt with granola, beans and rice, ground turkey or beef with peppers, and bean-based pasta like BRAMI. For movement, Aisha recommends starting with walking and babywearing exercises such as squats and calf raises, building up over 4–6 months. She advises finding mom support, choosing quick grab-and-go nutrition, and using social media positively for connection and motivation.

Radical acceptance for homeschool moms starts with a hard question: what if the hardest part of your homeschool season isn’t actually the hard thing you’re facing? What if part of what’s exhausting you is the energy you’re spending fighting against the fact that it’s happening at all? Your child is struggling with something. Maybe you’re afraid you’ve made the wrong call. There’s uncertainty when the people closest to you don’t agree. Your teenager is launching into the world, and you’re not quite ready for how that feels. A quiet worry sits underneath it all: am I doing enough? Behind that struggle is usually a quiet belief: if I could just fix this, then I could finally breathe. If my child would just catch up to grade level. If only my homeschool would feel more successful. Maybe my husband or mom would finally understand. I wish I knew for sure the choices I’m making today would benefit my kids. If just one person would tell me I’m doing okay. Then maybe I could relax. Why We Can’t Just Relax But what if peace isn’t something that shows up after everything gets resolved? What if peace begins the moment we stop abandoning ourselves in the middle of what’s still unresolved? If you love deep, meaningful conversations like this, you won’t want to miss our Book Club Newsletter! Each month, we explore thought-provoking books that inspire personal growth, strengthen our homeschool journeys, and help us show up more fully for ourselves and our families. You’ll receive discussion highlights, reflection questions, and practical ways to apply these insights to your daily life. Join the Book Club Newsletter! Join the Book Club Newsletter! The Trance of ‘Not Enough’ (And Why Radical Acceptance for Homeschool Moms Matters) Tara Brach calls it “the trance of unworthiness” — the quiet, background belief that we’re not enough. Not patient enough, not organized enough, not spiritual enough, not calm enough. It’s a trance because we rarely notice we’re inside it. We just keep moving, comparing, researching, and looking for reassurance. Sound familiar? You make a homeschool decision — and then immediately Google whether it was the right one. You choose not to push your child through something, and wonder if you’re being too permissive. Or you do push, and worry you’ve damaged the relationship. There’s no decision that doesn’t seem to land you on trial in your own head. Underneath it all is one question: Can I trust myself without someone else confirming I’m right? If that trance feels familiar, it’s often rooted somewhere deeper — we talk more about that in Healing the Mother Wound for Homeschool Moms. What Radical Acceptance for Homeschool Moms Actually Means Radical acceptance doesn’t mean liking what’s happening, giving up, or becoming passive about harmful circumstances. It starts much simpler than that. It says: this is what’s happening right now. My child is struggling. I am overwhelmed. I don’t know what to do. The radical part isn’t the situation — it’s what we don’t add on top of it. Instead of layering judgment (“I should be handling this better,” “What’s wrong with me?”), we pause and simply acknowledge reality. There’s the pain of what’s happening. And then there’s the extra suffering we create by fighting the fact that it’s happening — and homeschool moms are remarkably good at generating that second layer. Two Wings: Clear Seeing and Compassion Tara Brach describes radical acceptance as needing two wings to fly: clear seeing and compassion. Clear seeing without compassion turns into self-criticism (“I always overcommit, I’m terrible at boundaries, why can’t I get it together?”). Compassion without clarity turns into avoidance (“Everything’s fine!” — when maybe something really does need to change). Together, they shift the questions we ask ourselves: Instead of What’s wrong with me? → What is happening here? Instead of Why can’t I handle this? → What is this experience asking me to notice? And instead of I need to fix myself. → What do I need right now? The Productivity Trance So many of us learned, early and often, that our worth is tied to output. Homeschooling can quietly become another productivity machine: Did we finish the workbook? How many pages? Are we ahead or behind? But what if the most important thing that happened today can’t be measured? What if presence was enough? That’s easier to believe on a podcast than on a Thursday afternoon when the checklist is half-done. Which is exactly why it’s worth asking: Where did I learn that today only counts if I produced enough? Is it true? And the harder question — what would happen if I stopped trying to earn my worth through productivity? If overwhelm is where you’re living most days right now, this companion post can help: How to Handle Homeschool Overwhelm. A Personal Season: Launching My Youngest This one is personal right now. After years of building life around the rhythms of children — lessons, meals, car rides, celebrations — the season is changing, and there’s a choice in how to meet it: fight reality, or let both things be true at once. This is beautiful. And this hurts. Pride in the young man he’s becoming, and grief for the little boy who no longer needs help spelling words (and now wins at Bananagrams instead). Homeschooling can become such a central part of a mother’s identity — organizer, facilitator, researcher, driver, worrier, celebrator — that when the season shifts, something in us shifts too. That identity shift is its own kind of grief worth naming — I explore it more in my identity as a home educator. Radical acceptance doesn’t say don’t grieve. It just stops making the grief itself a problem. A RAIN Practice for Radical Acceptance for Homeschool Moms When you’re in the thick of a hard homeschool moment, Tara Brach’s RAIN practice offers a simple way back to yourself: R — Recognize What is actually happening right now? Not what might happen — what’s here. A — Allow Can this moment be here, just for now? Not forever — just without the fight. I — Investigate Get curious. Is this about today, or is something older being activated? Is it uncertainty, grief, exhaustion, or an unvoiced need? N — Nurture What do I actually need right now? A break. Help. Food. A reminder that one hard day doesn’t define an entire education. Permission to be human in the middle of the unfinished, uncertain, imperfect reality. https://youtu.be/ABvnGnqM9-c?si=dybv0JgbRhPjIqUP The Real Radical Act Can you stop requiring external evidence before you let yourself believe you’re enough? Are you able to trust yourself even when not everyone agrees? What would it take to voice a need before you know how it’ll be received? (Voicing a need is often the first boundary — here’s how to start: Practical (& useful) steps to boundaries in your homeschool.) Could you have a hard homeschool day without turning it into a verdict on your motherhood? Is it possible to look at your child — and at yourself — with clear eyes and compassion, instead of through someone else’s checklist? Maybe what we’re really resisting isn’t the messy day or the uncertain season. Maybe it’s the possibility that we could stop striving long enough to simply be — not the ideal, fully-cooperating, everything-folded-correctly version of homeschool life, but this one. The real one. That might be the most radical thing we can do. Join the Conversation Joining the Homeschool Mama Book Club can be its own small act of radical acceptance for homeschool moms — an acknowledgment that you need space, support, honest conversation, and care too. Inside the Collective, you’ll meet women who understand the uncertainty, the relationship challenges, the identity shifts, and the pressure that can come with homeschool motherhood. On Fridays, we gather to read good books, explore meaningful ideas, and talk through shared challenges together. Bring us to your favorite café or close the bedroom door and join from home — either way, it’s an hour reserved for you. Find the link in the show notes to come join us. Join the Book Club in the Confident Homeschool Mom Collective Reflection Questions Where in your homeschool life do you notice the “trance of unworthiness” showing up? What’s one situation right now where you could practice clear seeing and compassion, rather than picking just one? Try RAIN this week: the next time you spiral, walk through Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture — even just once. Thank you for spending this summer in the Homeschool Mama Book Club. I hope these books and conversations have given you permission to pause, reflect, and remember that the most important work you may ever do for your homeschool isn’t found in a book — it’s found inside you. — Teresa Wiedrick, Confident Homeschool Mom Podcast Latest episodes How to Practice Radical Acceptance for a Better Homeschool Mom Life September 1, 2026 15 Fun Activities for First Day of Homeschool Party August 31, 2026 How to Deal with Homeschool Mama Guilt (In No Easy Steps) August 29, 2026 Feeling Lost in Homeschooling?

In this special episode we go behind the scenes with memoirist Deepa Paul, essayist, cookbook author Gina Beach, and novelist Daisy Buchanan and talk about the two things that keep them going: the passion behind the work, and the practice that makes the work possible. From an essay that no editor wanted to a Women's Prize-longlisted memoir, a personal research rabbit hole that became a four-year book project, and the journey from idea to novel, this is a personal conversation with three writers about about why they write the things they write — and what kept them going. You'll learn Why an essay no editor wanted a decade ago turned out not to be an essay at all. How to break a book into tasks small enough to finish inside a single hour. The case for treating your own interior life as seriously as any grand subject. How a rabbit hole of personal research turned into a four-year book project. Why the hardest part of self-publishing has nothing to do with production. When procrastination is doing useful work, and when it's just filling the gaps. What changes in your writing once you stop trying to get it right. A reason to stop measuring a writing session by its word count. How sitting alongside other writers quietly rearranges your sense of your own work. The tidal metaphor that makes a bad writing day easier to let go of.

What if people are seeing your content, visiting your website, and checking out your products…but they're still not buying? The problem may not be your product. It may be that you're asking for the sale before you've built enough trust. In this episode of the CEO Glow Show, Sheila Bella sits down with Melissa Gross, founder of Brow Theory Pro, to uncover the missing link between getting attention and actually making sales. Melissa has spent 15 years as a brow artist and created Brow Theory Pro to give clients simple, professional brow products they can use at home while also helping beauty professionals keep more retail profits inside their studios. But as her product line grows, she faces a challenge familiar to so many beauty entrepreneurs: How do you turn cold traffic into paying customers? Sheila breaks down why going directly from Instagram content to "BUY NOW" leaves money on the table. Instead, she maps out a value ladder that moves potential customers from content to a valuable free resource, into conversations, email and text nurturing, and ultimately into a purchase. The lesson? You can't skip the trust process. From creating irresistible lead magnets and capturing contact information to building automated nurture sequences and starting more conversations, Sheila shows how a few simple changes can turn the content you're already creating into an actual sales system. If you're posting consistently but wondering why your followers aren't converting, this episode will show you what could be missing between the follow and the sale. Because people rarely need more convincing. They need more nurturing.

When nurture was first adopted from Anglo-French into English in the 14th century, it referred, as it does in the phrase “nurture vs. nature,” to training or upbringing, i.e., to the care and attention given to someone or something that is growing or developing. It wasn't until a century later that the verb nurture settled into the language, first with meanings having to do with feeding and caring for young—meanings nourish had been, er, nurturing for a hundred years. The words come by their overlapping meanings etymologically: both come from the Latin verb nutrire, meaning “to suckle” or “to nourish.” The figurative use of nurture, meaning “to further the development of,” followed centuries later. Mary Wollstonecraft applied it in her 1792 book, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, writing, “Public spirit must be nurtured by private virtue.”
