We're celebrating a major milestone on Passionate & Prosperous: 200 episodes and 4 years of conversations about what it really means to build a transformational, service-based business and a purposeful, prosperous life.I started this show during the pandemic, at a moment when everything in the world felt uncertain and unstable. And as I reflect back on these four years—through all the shifts in the industry, the economy, technology, visibility, marketing, and our personal lives—what stands out the most is how the core principles I believed on day one have remained completely true today.The ideas I've always taught about service, connection, leadership, visibility, mastery, and the long game of building a meaningful business have not changed. They aren't tied to trends or algorithms. They are timeless foundations of sustainable, prosperous entrepreneurship—the kind that holds steady no matter what's happening in the world around us. These philosophies are as relevant now, heading into 2026, as they were when this show began in 2020.To honor this milestone, I'm sharing 10 things I still believe deeply about business and service—concepts that have shaped this show from the beginning, supported my clients across every stage of growth, and continue to guide what it looks like to build a business that lasts. These aren't tied to strategies or seasons; they're the perspectives and principles that actually matter when you're creating a sustainable, human-centered business that thrives through change.In this milestone episode, we explore:The enduring principles of transformational entrepreneurship that remain constant even as the world shiftsWhat continues to matter most in service, visibility, connection, relationship-building, and client attractionHow to stay grounded, focused, and resilient within a fast-moving, often noisy online landscapeWhy foundational philosophies always outlast tactics, trends, and algorithm-driven strategiesHow these 10 things have guided the show from its beginnings during the pandemic through every stage of evolutionThe mindset, energy, and leadership needed for long-term sustainability, growth, and prosperityWhat it really means to build a business anchored in mastery, purpose, values, and human transformationEpisode 200 is both a celebration of how far we've come and a reaffirmation of the deeper principles behind building a Passionate & Prosperous business. These ideas have carried this show—and this community—through four years of change, and they continue to point us toward what's possible now, in 2026, and for many years to come.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

Many of us move through life repeating the same painful relationship patterns—feeling unsafe, unseen, or disconnected, even when we're trying our hardest to "do everything right." Invisible wounds from early experiences quietly shape the ways we love, cope, and relate as adults. Instead of recognizing these patterns as natural adaptations, we often turn the blame inward, not realizing that our attachment styles and protective behaviors are rooted in the body and nervous system as much as the mind. Real healing isn't about forcing change or consuming endless self-help advice—it's about reshaping your internal sense of safety on a deeply felt, embodied level. In this episode, we explore how secure, nourishing relationships begin with understanding the implicit memories, sensations, and patterns that live inside us. Learn how to meet old wounds with compassion, honor the protective parts that once kept you safe, and gently build new internal anchors of stability and trust. Using tools like the Wheel of Attachment and the practice of "finding your anchors," this episode offers both a clear roadmap and grounded encouragement for anyone ready to move beyond survival mode and experience connection that feels authentic, spacious, and truly supportive. Jessica Baum is a licensed psychotherapist, certified addiction specialist, and Imago couples therapist with advanced training in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and experiential therapy. She founded the Relationship Institute of Palm Beach and leads a global coaching company supporting clients worldwide. Passionate about trauma, attachment, and interpersonal neurobiology, Jessica helps individuals and couples heal and reconnect. Her bestselling book, Anxiously Attached, has made her a respected voice in nurturing secure, fulfilling relationships.   Episode Highlights 05:55 How early experiences shape our sense of safety. 07:48 Implicit memories and relationship patterns. 11:09 The importance of somatic (body-based) memory. 13:14 Reconnecting with the body for healing. 18:42 Understanding and honoring protective behaviors. 21:40 Building trust in healthier relationship dynamics. 25:00 The essential role of anchors in healing. 26:06 Why healing requires relationships, not willpower. 31:43 Finding and cultivating emotional anchors. 35:05 The Wheel of Attachment: A nuanced approach. 37:45 Earning security through supportive experiences. 40:31 Moving toward fulfillment: Real connection and support.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Slow down and take mindful pauses to help connect with your body and increase present-moment awareness. Notice physical sensations during interactions, especially in moments of emotional intensity, to access implicit memories and attachment wounds. Practice developing interoception—your ability to sense internal bodily states—to better understand your emotional responses in relationships. Identify and honor your protective patterns ("protectors") rather than judging them; acknowledge they were there to support you. Seek out safe "anchors" or individuals who can offer emotional co-regulation and support your healing process. Use the "Wheel of Attachment" framework to explore how your early relational dynamics show up in current relationships. If you lack supportive anchors, resource from memories of secure figures (e.g., a teacher, grandparent) or pursue professional support. Engage in relationships and healing spaces where vulnerability, witnessing, and somatic attunement are encouraged, facilitating earned secure attachment over time.   Mentioned Safe: An Attachment-Informed Guide to Building More Secure Relationships Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure in Life and Love SAFE (Interview and freebies link) Nurturing the Heart (Dr. Bonnie Badenoch's website) Conscious Relationship Group (Facebook group) (link) Relationship Institute of Palm Beach ERP 342: How Love Transforms Our Nervous System — An Interview With Jessica Baum ERP 276: Understanding The Need For Both Self-Regulation And Co-Regulation In Relationship – An interview With Deb Dana ERP 261: How To Strengthen Your Relationship From A Polyvagal Perspective – An Interview with Dr. Stephen Porges ERP 423: How To Transcend Trauma (And The Effects Experience In Relationship) — An Interview With Dr. Frank Anderson 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Jessica Baum Websites: beselffull.com Facebook: facebook.com/consciousrelationshipgroup YouTube: youtube.com/@jessicabaumlmhc Instagram: instagram.com/jessicabaumlmhc

Are you letting anxiety and the need to play it safe hold you hostage in your relationships and personal growth? Too often, fear—of rejection, failure, or the unknown—becomes the invisible fence shaping our actions. Perfectionism, procrastination, overthinking, and the constant urge to avoid discomfort can shrink our lives, leaving us disconnected from our true selves and the people we care about most. In this episode, we explore how fear influences perfectionism, anxiety, and avoidance in our relationships and daily lives. Discover compassionate approaches to working with anxiety—learning why fighting it doesn't work, and how, instead, our willingness to acknowledge, understand, and even befriend discomfort can become a gateway to deeper connection and greater freedom. Through practical tools and real-world strategies like "uncertainty workouts," values-based action, and self-compassion, this episode aims to help you navigate the messy, beautiful process of showing up more authentically for yourself and those you care about. Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona is on a mission to help people break free from ineffective, play-it-safe patterns so they can begin living rich, purposeful, and meaningful lives. A trained psychologist, she is the author of seven books and co-author of two more. Her expertise has led her to present workshops at both national and international conferences. She also runs a boutique therapy and coaching practice that specializes in the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for anxiety. Passionate about her work, she delights in creating personalized resources for every client she serves.   Episode Highlights 06:03 The interconnectedness of anxiety and its impact on life. 09:07 The importance of accepting anxiety instead of fighting it. 10:02 Using values to guide responses and reduce anxiety's control. 13:50 The need to tolerate discomfort in relationships. 18:53 Navigating fear of commitment and embracing uncertainty. 22:49 Building tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty. 24:32 How avoiding uncomfortable emotions can increase suffering and relates to trauma and emotional regulation. 29:52 Values-based exposure and compassionate approaches to fear. 33:41 Developing micro skills for managing difficult conversations. 35:41 Integrating self-compassion and Wise Moves for anxiety management. 38:01 Practical resources, parenting insights, and closing reflections.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Take a moment to pause with a deep inhale and exhale, noticing sensations in your body before engaging in difficult conversations or when feeling anxious. Instead of fighting anxiety, recognize it as a protective part of your humanity and make room for it. When anxiety arises, ask yourself what truly matters to you in that moment to guide your response. Embrace uncomfortable feelings in relationships without avoidance, viewing them as essential for growth and authenticity. Intentionally expose yourself to uncertainty in small, manageable ways (like trying a new restaurant or activity) to build tolerance. When fear surfaces, actively choose actions that align with your core values—even if they feel difficult. Treat yourself with gentleness during moments of avoidance, procrastination, or anxiety, recognizing your effort and courage. When facing a fearful situation, pause and check in with your body and thoughts, then proceed with intentionality rather than rushing through.   Mentioned The ACT Workbook for Teens with OCD (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Living Beyond OCD Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Escaping the Emotional Roller Coaster (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Parenting a Troubled Teen (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Acceptance and Commitment Skills for Perfectionism and High-Achieving Behaviors (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The ACT Workbook for the Anxious Procrastinator (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Dr. Z's Online Classes (link) ERP 461: How to Increase Psychological Flexibility for Healthy Relationships — An Interview with Dr. Steven Hayes ERP 238: How To Find Your Emotional Balance In Relationship 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free relationship guide) (pdf)   Connect with Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona Websites: thisisdoctorz.com | eastbaybehaviortherapycenter.com Facebook: facebook.com/EastBayBehaviorTherapyCenter | facebook.com/Dr-Z-102029237841421 X: twitter.com/DrZ_behaviorist YouTube: linkedin.com/in/patricia-e-zurita-ona-psy-d-949b5a15 Instagram: instagram.com/dr.z.passionatebehaviorist

Time for our last installment of live interviews from Coffee Fest 2025. This time from Orlando, FL USA! We are talking with four awesome professionals about everything from training and tasting, Florida coffee culture and barista work - to career dreams coming true through hard work and faith, and empowering your baristas with distributed management!  First we are talking with Claudio Martinez! For Claudio, coffee has never been just a drink, it is part of his soul, rooted in his family's 70-year heritage in Honduras. That connection was reignited in Thessaloniki, Greece, where, under the mentorship of Tony Sebastian of I Heart Coffee Roasters, he embraced the beauty, tradition, and community that coffee represents. His first hands-on experience came in a small drive-through coffee shop in Ellendale, North Dakota, owned by a close friend. As a young barista, Claudio discovered the joy of serving others one cup at a time. That spark guided him forward, leading to opportunities with global icons such as Lavazza, where he worked as a trainer and educator, and later with List + Beisler, where he shared exceptional coffees as a green trader with roasters across the country. Each step nurtured his gratitude and reinforced his belief in coffee as a bridge between cultures and communities. Today, as the driving force behind Golden Bush Coffee, Claudio channels that lifelong passion into supporting food and beverage communities throughout Florida and beyond. His mission is grounded in humility and purpose, guided by the belief that coffee is never just about what's in the cup—it is about people, stories, and the connections it creates. Links:  https://goldenbushcoffee.com/ https://www.instagram.com/goldenbushcoffee/   Next up we feature Vanessa Jaramillo! Vanessa Jaramillo is the Regional Events & Operations Coordinator for Florida Coffee Culture, where she helps connect and celebrate the people behind Florida's growing specialty coffee scene. As a Colombian-American, Vanessa's connection to coffee began long before she became a barista — she visited origin before ever working behind a bar. After discovering specialty coffee in Australia during her gap year, she returned to Florida with a deep passion for community and storytelling. With three years in the coffee industry, Vanessa has immersed herself in every part of the craft — from cuppings and throwdowns to competitions and community events. She's driven by the belief that coffee is a universal connector that brings people together from all walks of life. Links: https://www.flcoffeeculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/floridacoffeeculture/ We then turn to chat with Maria Esther Lopez Thome! María Esther is the Co-Founder and Co-Creator of Coffea School, a Coffee & Tea Training Center located in Miami Gardens, Florida. Lawyer, with Master in Tax and Administrative Law. Q-Instructor. SCA Authorized Trainer in the entire Coffee Skills Program, from seed to cup. SCA-ReCo Fellow. SCA Technical Standard Committee Fellow, 2016-2018. CQI Q-Processing Professional. CQI Quality Evaluation and Post-Harvest Processing Assistant Instructor. CVA Program Trainer. Has traveled the world teaching about coffee: Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Ethiopia, United States. Passionate about coffee and the incredible relationships that growth in within. A sustainability believer, always willing to learn more.  Links: https://coffeaschool.com/ https://www.instagram.com/coffeacompany/?hl=en Finally we round off the episode with a wonderful conversation with Katherine Morris! Katherine Morris is the Owner and CFO of Cherry Coffee Company in Fort Worth, Texas, which includes Cherry Coffee Shop, a values-driven neighborhood café, and Novel Coffee Roasters, a specialty roastery with a focus on intentional sourcing and private-label partnerships. With over 18 years of experience across finance, nonprofit, and hospitality, Katherine blends operational know-how with a people-first approach to leadership.

In the Northern Hemisphere we're approaching the darker months, which can be challenging. So today I'm sharing a fun community challenge to find some silliness in this season.

In this episode, I sit down with Regina Martin and Lindsay McGlone, two business friends of mine who are very vocal and bold about what we're missing when it comes to inclusion in the online space.   I wanted to ask those questions that we hear in spaces that they aren't in – many of us have seen the eye rolls, felt frustrated by the increasing need to consider more and more in our stage lineups and often feel like we're never doing enough. I wanted to talk openly in a non judgemental space about these issues and so that's exactly what we did.   In this episode, you'll gain more of an understanding of what's important when it comes to inclusion and why with practical tips on where to start.   Lindsay McGlone is an Instagram strategist who helps business owners, get better reach, engagement and make more sales through Instagram. Lindsay boldly states that no one teaches Instagram like they do, adding perspective as an influencer. She teaches creative ways to use the platform that makes you stand out in the crowd, that go beyond vanity metrics. Making sure that Instagram is the place that you create leads, convert and sell time and time again.   https://www.instagram.com/rollinwithlindsay_     Regina Martin is a Visibility Strategist and founder of The NETwork, an inclusive community redefining how entrepreneurs connect and get seen. With her signature blend of brand strategy, web design, and confidence coaching, Regina helps visionary founders build magnetic online presences that turn visibility into genuine opportunity. Passionate about making business spaces more authentic and inclusive, she empowers entrepreneurs to shine unapologetically, elevate their digital impact, and grow through connection, confidence, and community.   https://www.instagram.com/the_regina_martin   This podcast is sponsored by Autm.

What if crypto's brutal UX wasn't a flaw but a feature… for machines? In this episode, Bitcoin OG Erik Voorhees joins us to reveal why crypto wasn't built for people; it was built for AI. From launching ShapeShift to building Venice AI, Voorhees has seen every major cycle. But today, he lays out a thesis few are talking about: that AI will adopt crypto faster than humans ever could, and privacy isn't just a human right, it's a machine necessity.~~~~~

Simon discusses how to protect yourself from bad tenants, especially in light of the new Renters' Rights Bill, which marks the largest change to the private rental sector in 30 years, warning that this legislation may lead to an increase in "professional bad tenants" who take advantage of uninformed landlords. KEY TAKEAWAYS Landlords must treat their property investing like a business, be educated on their responsibilities, and cannot abdicate responsibility, even if they use a letting agent. The Renters' Rights Bill increases the risk of rent repayment orders (up to 24 months' rent) if compliance is neglected. Ensure all prescribed paperwork and safety certificates are shared with tenants at the correct time. To pursue a tenant for unpaid rent (you have up to six years), gather their full name, date of birth, and National Insurance number (from their payslip). This allows you to claim money back via MoneyClaim.gov.uk. Landlords should check every six months for new selective licensing requirements in their property's area. Also, ensure the correspondence address on the Land Registry is up-to-date to receive official notices. BEST MOMENTS "With the Renters' Rights Bill coming in, which is the largest change in 30 years to the private rental sector, there's no doubt in my mind there's going to be an increase in professional bad tenants." "You must treat your investing like a business." "You can't treat your property investing as a hobby, as a side hustle. Even if it's part-time, you must treat your investing like a business." "You are driving by looking in the rearview mirror."

This week's conversation starts with a late-night rabbit hole on legendary chef Marco Pierre White and turns into a deeper reflection on obsession, mastery, and meaning.

Have you ever heard that vibrators will desensitize you and ruin partnered sex forever? That sex toys are just for women, singles, or kinky folks? Or that if you need a toy, something must be wrong with your sex life or relationship? These are common beliefs, but they’re not grounded in reality. So let’s set the record straight. My guest is Venus O'Hara, a pleasure educator, author, and content creator. She became Spain's first professional sex toy tester, and since 2014 has tested and reviewed over 1,000 products from leading sexual wellness brands worldwide. She is the author of Orgasmic Manifestation and hosts the podcast, The Orgasmic Lifestyle. Some of the specific areas we explore in this show include: What do you need to know if you’re worried about becoming too “dependent” on sex toys? How can people introduce sex toys into partnered sex without stoking insecurity? Are sex toys just for women and single people? What are some beginner-friendly sex toys worth considering? What should you do if you try a toy and find that it doesn’t seem to do much for you? Learn more about Venus by checking out her website here. Got a sex question?
