Earlier this week, Indiana Governor Mike Braun fired the three alumni-elected members of Indiana University's Board of Trustees and installed three of his own picks.In a last-minute amendment to the state budget this session, Braun was granted control of all nine of IU's trustees by the general assembly. Previously, six were named by the governor and three were selected by alumni.One of the fired trustees, Vivian Winston, had just one month left in her term.Read more: Braun defends move on IU trustees while terminated members speak outThe move was more of what critics see as government overreach of the university.Last month, IU and other state schools closed their offices of diversity, equity and inclusion after being threatened with a loss of funding. And, due to cuts at the federal and state level, IU is looking to cut $100 million from next year's budget, while also freezing in-state tuition for the next two years.Read more: As threats to DEI grow, students, community members fear what could be lostIndiana University isn't alone among schools facing pressure from the government to eliminate anything related to DEI, curb antisemitism on campuses and protect free speech.

The leaders I work with want to be the kind of leaders who can handle complexity without defaulting to blame, shame, or shutting down.But when visibility and accountability collide with unhealed relational wounding, it doesn't matter how many books we've read or retreats we've attended; our bodies remember. And it can feel deeply uncomfortable.Discomfort is part of the gig, though. If we let it, it moves us towards being better humans to ourselves and others. True accountability may not always lead to repair and reconnection, but it is a profoundly relational and humanizing practice led by values, justice, and grace.But when discomfort turns to shame, accountability feels threatening rather than connective. And when we fear accountability and its discomfort, it causes more harm.The work of unburdening is never entirely over, but as Dr. Richard Schwartz reminded me in today's fifth anniversary conversation, the more unburdened we are, the more accountable we become. The more we desire justice. The more we want to see change. It's a powerful affirmation of what's possible when we commit to being Unburdened Leaders.Richard Schwartz began his career as a systemic family therapist and an academic. Grounded in systems thinking, Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients' descriptions of various parts within themselves. He focused on the relationships among these parts and noticed that there were systemic patterns to the way they were organized across clients. He also found that when the clients' parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, the clients would spontaneously experience the qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion that Dr. Schwartz came to call the Self. He found that when in that state of Self, clients would know how to heal their parts.A featured speaker for national professional organizations, Dr. Schwartz has published many books and over fifty articles about IFS.Listen to the full episode to hear:How being in Self allows us to act assertively without igniting defensivenessHow IFS can help us maintain our empathy and compassion without burning outThe challenges and risks of the rapid popularization of IFS via social mediaWhy being in Self is a continuum not a binaryWhy Dr. Schwartz has a pep talk with his parts every day, even after decades of doing the workHow he's navigating increasing media exposure while staying true to his values and IFS principlesHow Self creates a natural desire for accountability in our inner and outer worldsLearn more about Dr. Richard Schwartz:IFS InstituteLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader Email

Welcome to a very special episode of The Lindsey Anderson Show. I'm celebrating 100 episodes—100 opportunities to pull back the curtain and share the real, unfiltered truth about what it actually takes to consistently attract high-quality clients and scale a service-based business.I started this podcast because I was tired of watching smart, capable business owners get crushed by false promises, recycled marketing fluff, and outdated advice. The truth is, generating clients isn't magic. It's not guesswork. It's a system. And when you apply the right strategy with consistency, it works.In this solo episode, I'm walking you through what hasn't changed in marketing since day one, the biggest myths that are keeping online entrepreneurs stuck, and what's actually working in 2025 to grow your business online. I'm also sharing my four-step Social Media Sales Machine—the exact process I use for myself and every single client inside The BAM Agency. Plus, you'll hear how I use AI tools like ChatGPT to scale my business, streamline my day-to-day, and yes… even bleach my 12-year-old's hair pink. Let's dive in.The Truth About Getting Clients in 2025 - Key TakeawaysFoundational strategies still drive results—tools evolve, but principles stay the sameDMs are where trust is built and sales happenIn today's noisy digital world, trust is more valuable than trafficGoing viral isn't the goal—getting specific isStrategic visibility is how online coaches attract dream clients without burning outThe more dialed-in your niche, the faster your business growsAI isn't replacing you—it's your creative and strategic advantageWhat Hasn't Changed Since Episode 1People are still people. Whether you're a service-based business owner, business coach, or consultant, your clients crave real connection—not gimmicks. You don't need to show up at every event or constantly chase trends. Consistent, intentional content and real conversations online are still what build a loyal, buying audience.Highlights from Past Guest EpisodesJohn Lee Dumas reminded us that the “Riches are in the Niches.” If you're still afraid to go narrow with your offer, that fear might be the very thing holding you back.Marques Ogden taught us to walk into the storm like a bison—because real growth, especially in business, comes from embracing discomfort.Steve Cadigan gave us a look into the future of work and AI. We both agree: AI is here to amplify, not replace, your brilliance.Big Marketing Myths Keeping You Stuck“I just need to post more.” No—you need to post better. One of my clients posted daily for three years with no growth. Her message was too broad. We clarified her niche, built a clear system, and now she creates content in one hour a month—and is consistently closing clients.“I need to go viral.” Nope. You need to get your message in front of the right people. Visibility without strategy is noise.“I'll wait until things settle down.” The truth? This is the moment. The business owners who take action now are the ones who rise.Real Conversations = Real ClientsIf your content isn't leading to DMs, something's broken. Conversations are where the magic happens. I coach all my clients to use the 25-50-5 method: 25 new friend requests, 50 thoughtful feed interactions, and 5 intentional DMs every day. Be honest—Aunt Sally isn't your ideal client. Engage where it counts.Strategic Visibility Beats Endless PostingYour dream clients don't care how many posts you've scheduled—they care whether you understand their pain and can help transform it. When I appeared on Netflix, I met influencers with massive followings who weren't making money. Why? Because visibility without direction doesn't convert. You're not here for likes—you're here to...

If you're a dental practice owner—or planning to become one—this episode could save you thousands. Wes Read, CPA and CFP, breaks down the financial fundamentals every dentist needs to master, especially when it comes to getting money out of your business without triggering IRS penalties.Wes unpacks the critical role of choosing the right business structure—S Corporation, LLC, or sole proprietorship—and how that decision directly impacts your taxes. You'll learn why S Corps are often the go-to for dentists, and how your “stock basis” plays a central role in what you can legally distribute from your business.What's the danger? “Excess distributions”—taking more out of the business than your basis allows.

Episode Title: "Live life to the fullest, excel despite challenges, and never let those who wish you harm dictate your path."Season 3, Episode 43In this raw and transformative episode of Resilient Voices & Beyond Podcast, host Michael D. Davis-Thomas is joined by Maegan “Mae” Mason, a resilient advocate, mentor, and lived experience expert who shares her powerful story of survival, self-discovery, and growth.Mae opens up about her early life—navigating a turbulent home environment that led her into the juvenile justice system by the age of 13. Through 12 years of personal turmoil, system involvement, and institutionalization, she encountered abuse, neglect, and the emotional weight of being misunderstood. Her story reflects the harsh realities many youth face when systems fail to meet their needs with compassion and care.But Mae didn't let that become her final chapter. She speaks openly about the turning points in her journey—missing key family moments while incarcerated, the comfort of institutionalization, and how writing, therapy, and mentorship helped her begin healing. Mae found her voice through poetry and began giving back, mentoring girls in similar situations, and building genuine relationships with youth at her job site.In this episode, Michael and Mae discuss:The emotional impact of growing up in the systemThe importance of having even just one supportive adultThe healing power of writing, poetry, and creative expressionHow mentorship and lived experience shape better youth servicesReintegration challenges after incarceration and aging outThe urgency of community-based alternatives to institutional settingsSelf-care and coping strategies for those working within youth-serving systemsMae's message is one of radical truth, vulnerability, and empowerment. Her story reminds us that no matter how deep the wounds, growth is always possible—and that no one's past should define their future. Mae is living proof that you can excel despite challenges, heal through expression, and build purpose from pain.

Resentment is silently fueling your addiction and sabotaging your recovery—and most men don't even know it's happening. In this powerful episode of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, Craig Perra, world-renowned coach and creator of The Mindful Habit System, exposes the hidden force that keeps men stuck in cycles of shame, secrecy, and sabotage: resentment. If you're battling sex addiction or porn addiction, chances are you're also fighting a part of you that feels controlled, dismissed, or unheard. That resentful part becomes the justifier—the one who says, “Why bother?”… “She'll never forgive me”… “I'll never be good enough.” Inside this episode:How resentment becomes the fuel for relapse and acting outThe truth about your power dynamic post-D-Day (Discovery Day)Why traditional therapy often misses this key internal battleThe game-changing impact of parts work (think Pixar's Inside Out for grown men in recovery)How to stop reacting and start leading your resentful part with self-leadershipAnd how journaling, awareness, and mindfulness can transform resentment from a saboteur to an allyYou'll learn why this internal part of you was trained to keep score, how it developed, and how to finally break free by meeting your needs proactively instead of reactively. Whether you're in the early stages of healing or years into recovery, this episode will give you the language, insight, and tools you need to finally stop feeding the wrong wolf—and start taking your power back.Cut & Paste This Link for The Resentment Part PDF - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L60BA7Hk-VuzQa6G302IfysNp4ut_TiR/view?usp=sharing

This week on The Business of Open Source I spoke with Andrew Martin, CEO and founder of Control Plane. Control Plane is ultimately a consulting company, as Andrew introduced it. But the company also created and maintains KubeSec, and also has an enterprise version of Flux CD that it licenses. That gives this conversation a slightly different flavor from the usual. Here's some of the things we talked about: The business ROI that Andrew expected to get from releasing KubeSec, and whether or not he as actually seen those expected results play outThe difference between bootstrapping a company by offering services and by offering consulting — specifically what the difference between services and consulting is. The problem with “drive-by” feature development in open source projects — when people contribute features but don't commit to the ongoing maintenance of the projectWhy Control Plane decided to release an enterprise version of FluxCD, and how the enterprise version of Flux is differentiated from the pure open source project. Why underinvesting in marketing, especially in marketing for the open source projects, was a mistakeJoin us at Open Source Founders Summit if you want more conversations about how companies are built around open source projects, from consultancies to large corporations. 

In this episode of Bewitched: Breaking the Spell When Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong, Dr. Robyn McKay and Alyse Bacine sit down with Jia, a sharp, intuitive leader who found herself caught up in the world of high-level spiritual mentorship—until things took a turn.Jia was with Robyn and Alyse in Santa Fe for what was supposed to be a transformational business and personal development retreat. Later, she traveled to Croatia with the same mentor, “Betty,” and got a front-row seat to the dark side of mentorship gone wrong. From sleep deprivation to gaslighting, from over-the-top paranoia to questioning every major life decision—this episode is a real talk on what happens when spiritual leadership gets messy.If you've ever looked up to a mentor, only to realize they weren't who you thought they were, this conversation is for you. Jia shares her experience with refreshing honesty (and a little humor), reminding us all how easy it is to get caught up in someone else's version of the truth—and how powerful it is to reclaim your own.How Jia got pulled into this mentorship—and the early red flags she missedThe Santa Fe retreat experience: belonging, excitement, and the start of subtle influenceHow sleep deprivation, social dynamics, and paranoia set the stage for deeper manipulationWhat went down in Croatia (spoiler: it wasn't just a relaxing getaway)The wake-up moment: when Jia realized she needed to get outThe process of untangling from a mentor's influence and finding her own truth againLessons in discernment: how to spot the difference between true guidance and controlEven smart, intuitive people can get caught up in unhealthy mentorship dynamics.If a mentor is making big statements about your life that you didn't ask for, it's okay to step back and question it.Just because someone has a strong presence doesn't mean they have all the answers.Trusting your intuition is always more important than following someone else's vision for you.Real mentorship is about guidance, not control—and the best leaders help you trust yourself more, not less.If this episode hit home, we'd love to hear from you.

Episode SummaryWelcome to the first episode of our brand-new Faith Talks series: Fearless Faith! This year, we are tackling the strongholds of fear that often hold us back in our walk with Christ. In this kickoff episode, Janna and Anna Faith dive into FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)—a struggle that affects so many, especially in our hyper-connected world. Whether it's social media, friendships, or life decisions, the pressure to keep up can leave us feeling anxious and discontent. But God has a better way! Join the conversation as they unpack how faith in God's plan frees us from comparison, fear, and regret—ensuring that we are never truly missing out when we trust Him.Topics DiscussedWhat is FOMO, and how does it affect us?How social media fuels the fear of missing outThe pressure to say “yes” to everything and its consequencesBiblical truths that combat FOMO and bring contentmentWhy trusting God ensures we don't miss out on what truly mattersPractical steps to shift focus from fear to faithKey TakeawaysFOMO is rooted in fear and comparison, but faith in God replaces it with peace.Social media presents a false reality, often making us feel like our lives aren't good enough.Saying “yes” to everything can lead to burnout, while God calls us to intentional, purpose-filled living.Seeking God first ensures we don't miss out on His best for us—He has a perfect plan and timing.Faith requires action—what small step can you take today to trust God over fear?Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation podcast designed to help young ladies discover greater ways to nurture and exercise their faith in their day-to-day walk with Christ.
