Something I have been thinking about a lot lately — and talking about with my clients constantly — is this fascinating and costly phenomenon of making “hard” mean “bad”. You are working on something, creating something, trying to find the right words for something that really matters to you, and it feels hard. And the next thing you know you are questioning everything. Whether you are good at this. Whether it is meant for you. Whether everyone else finds this easier than you do. In this episode I am going deep on that — and using the very real, very behind-the-scenes experience of the last few weeks of my own business to do it.I have been deep in the work of creating the theme and sales page for this year's Passionate & Prosperous Live!, my two-day in-person event in New York City — and it was hard, it took longer than I wanted and I went through it the way I always do when I am creating something big, something important and something that I am putting my whole heart into.But after decades of being a teacher, a student, a creator and almost 58 years of being human, I have learned a lot about the meaning we make when things are hard - and what we need to do about it.In this episode I am getting into the many different reasons something can feel hard, and why it is totally not helpful when people try to sell you the idea that if you were in alignment, flow or whatever, your business would feel easy! As always, I'm here to tell you what it really takes to put yourself and your work out into the world - and to let you know that it's totally okay for it to feel hard sometimes as long as you don't make it mean all kinds of stuff about yourself.And in an exciting turn of events, I'm revealing the theme for this year's Passionate & Prosperous Live! — trust me, you are going to want to hear this one — and why every single thing I talk about in this episode is exactly why I landed on it (and why you need to join us this October in NYC!)Here's what you'll hear in this episode:Why hard automatically gets labeled as bad — and why that pattern is costing coaches and business owners more than they realizeThe misinformation the coaching industry keeps selling about ease and alignment — and why it creates false expectations that set you up to struggleThe two very different reasons something can feel hard — and why knowing the difference changes everything about how you respondThe real behind-the-scenes of creating Passionate & Prosperous Live 2026 — what the process looked like and what it brought up along the wayWhy you can hold two things at once: knowing your work is extraordinary AND being terrified no one will show up for itWhat real messaging actually is — and why finding the words for your work takes as long as it takesWhy your voice, your message, your story, and your IP are the one thing you cannot outsource — and what to do when that feels hardWhy everything takes time — and why how long something takes is never an indictment of you or your abilitiesSomething being hard does not mean it is bad. It does not mean you are bad at it. It does not mean it is not for you. This episode is going to help you actually believe that.

Most young women are told that success, perfection, and social validation define worth. Emma Valentine's story challenges that belief. At just 23, she has faced public disappointment, criticism, and failure while performing as a finalist on The Voice only to discover that true identity is not found in achievements or appearances, but in God's unshakable love. In this heartfelt episode, Emma shares how a painful moment on national TV became the catalyst for profound spiritual growth. Through failure and public scrutiny, she learned that God's love is the only reliable source of validation and that living for an audience of One brings freedom from comparison and self-obsession. Together, we explore how to embrace your God-given worth, stay rooted in Scripture, and guard your heart in a culture obsessed with perfection. Emma offers practical wisdom for navigating setbacks, finding purpose, and experiencing true joy. This episode is especially meaningful for teen girls and young women wrestling with questions of identity, worth, or confidence. Emma's story is a powerful reminder that failure does not define us—God's love does. Emma Valentine is a singer, songwriter, and storyteller from Santa Cruz, California. Through her music and testimony, she shares hope, authenticity, and the love of her Creator. Join us for an inspiring conversation about faith, purpose, and the freedom that comes from living for God's glory rather than the world's applause.

Historically, chastity was associated with suppressing sexual desire. Today, however, it often means something very different. For many people, it’s a way of exploring desire, anticipation, control, intimacy, and pleasure. In this episode, we’re diving into the psychology of chastity, including why people are drawn to it, who’s into it, and what it can teach us about human sexuality more broadly. My guest is Paul Botto, the COO of KINK3D. He's been working in the queer and kink community in San Francisco for the past 10 years, joining KINK3D in 2021 as the company's first hire. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What does chastity mean in modern sexual culture? How has the meaning of chastity changed over time? What do people find psychologically appealing about chastity? Why can limiting pleasure intensify desire? Why are some people drawn to chastity outside of kink? You can check out the KINK3D blog here, as well as find them on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, and Reddit. Got a sex question?

Patrice Bain's classroom was the first in the United States where cognitive scientists studied how children actually learn, not in a university laboratory, but with real students in a real school. That extraordinary starting point left her feeling completely alone professionally, with no colleagues to talk to and no community to turn to. This episode is for every teacher or leader who has ever felt that there are two education worlds: the one inside their school, and the wider world of research and ideas that seems just out of reach. You'll learn why reaching out to researchers, authors, and bloggers is far less daunting than it feels, and why the science of learning community is one of the most genuinely welcoming in education. Patrice shares a powerful question every school leader can ask that can transform professional culture overnight. If you lead a school and want your teachers to stop feeling like islands, this conversation will give you the practical nudge you need to press play.

In Episode 159 of the MAX Afterburner Podcast, Matthew “Whiz” Buckley delivers an unfiltered SITREP on Operation Epic Fury, the escalating conflict with Iran, and the daily confusion surrounding negotiations, red lines, and America's strategic objectives.Pulling no punches, Whiz argues that proportional warfare is for losers and contends that the radical Islamic regime in Iran began its war against the United States nearly five decades ago. He examines President Trump's stated desire to finish that fight while questioning whether current negotiations and military strategy are achieving the desired outcome.Drawing on his experience as a TOPGUN fighter pilot who spent a lot of time in the region, Whiz discusses the dangers of prolonged military operations, the risks faced by America's young servicemembers, and why he believes dragging conflicts out can carry costs measured not only in lives lost, but in lives forever changed.He highlights the recent shootdown of a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopter by Iranian forces. By the grace of God, both aviators survived. Yet Whiz challenges the notion that America should only respond decisively after fatalities occur. He argues that traumatic brain injuries, life-altering wounds, and invisible injuries suffered by servicemembers matter just as much as casualty statistics.As the founder of the No Fallen Heroes Foundation, Whiz has spent years working with veterans carrying the unseen wounds of war. He points out that repeated drone, missile, and proxy attacks don't have to kill American troops to inflict devastating consequences. Every attack risks creating another generation of warriors who return home carrying physical, emotional, and moral injuries that can last a lifetime.Whiz also challenges the idea that America's adversaries can be negotiated with as if they were business partners across a Manhattan real estate table. He questions whether mixed messaging, shifting red lines, and prolonged operations are putting more American lives at risk rather than bringing the conflict to a decisive conclusion.But this episode is about more than strategy and geopolitics.As always, Whiz speaks from the heart, reminding listeners that war is the ultimate failure of the human condition. Beneath the flags, politics, religions, and borders, we are all human beings. While he calls for decisive action when necessary, he also calls for peace—and for leaders to never forget the human cost paid by those sent into harm's way.Passionate. Provocative. Thought-provoking.This is an episode that will challenge assumptions, spark debate, and leave listeners thinking long after the debrief is over.Fight's On!

If you've ever woken up wanting to create a new client or generate more revenue and found yourself spinning on what you should actually be doing, this episode is for you. I'm going solo and I'm going deep on what I consider to be the number one business strategy for coaches, teachers, experts, and anyone with a human-centered business: personal outreach. It is the fastest path to a client, the foundation of a relationship-driven business, and the strategy that gets the most overlooked and underused by so many business owners - and in this one I'm telling you why.Showing up in our businesses and for our people takes a lot - it takes time, energy, effort and a whole lot of mindset work to boot. And for most people, the mindset is exactly where it all breaks down. In this episode, I'm going deep on the psychology of both sides: what it takes to be the one doing the outreach, and what it means to be on the receiving end. I'm sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly — including real stories of how I use this strategy in my own business and how to build up the resilience and “thick skin” it takes to keep showing up - even when it's vulnerable, frustrating and downright disappointing.Here's what you'll hear in this episode:Why personal outreach is the #1 strategy for creating clients — and why so many coaches, experts, and entrepreneurs are overlooking, underusing, or avoiding it altogetherWho your real warm and hot leads are — and why going to them first is always the right move when you want to create clients nowWhat it actually takes mentally and emotionally to implement this strategy with consistency — and why the mindset piece is where most people get stuckWhy being afraid of coming across as salesy or pushy is keeping you from doing the one thing that would actually workThe good, the bad, and the ugly of personal outreach — including what to do when it doesn't go the way you hopedWhat to make of the full range of responses you're going to get — and why all of it, including the silence, is useful information for your businessWhy being on the receiving end of outreach matters just as much as being the one who sends it — and what that reveals about where you are in your businessIf you keep thinking you need more leads, more visibility, or a better marketing strategy — and you still don't have the clients you want — this episode is going to reframe everything.And if you want more strategy, mindset and clients join me for Summer Business School July 1, 8 + 15!I'm hosting a FREE 3-part workshop series so you can keep your biz momentum going while also enjoying your summer!REGISTER HERE!

What happens when someone who once needed affordable housing dedicates her career to helping others find stability, opportunity, and hope? In this episode of the WAHNcast 50 Over 50 Women of Influence in Affordable Housing series, hosts Ann Cone and Jennifer Green welcome Flynann Skeen, Executive Director of Rainbow Housing Assistance Corporation. Flyn shares her extraordinary four-decade journey through nearly every facet of the housing industry—from leasing apartments and earning HVAC certifications to leading a national nonprofit serving more than 88,000 residents across 26 states. Along the way, Flyn reflects on the mentors who shaped her career, the importance of staying connected to residents and site teams, and why affordable housing is about far more than buildings. It's about creating spaces where people can build families, celebrate milestones, overcome challenges, and pursue their dreams. This conversation explores leadership, resilience, resident services, and the responsibility all housing professionals share in creating communities that foster both stability and possibility. Whether you're a seasoned housing professional or just beginning your journey in the industry, Flyn's story offers inspiration, wisdom, and a powerful reminder of the human impact behind the work we do every day.

Muscle loss and sarcopenia have been synonymous with aging in previous generations. Muscle loss impacts osteoporosis, balance, stability, independence, and hormone balance.  In this episode we'll talk about the 3 M's and how to bank muscle looking forward to a time off your fee as well as how to get it back if you have muscle loss and sarcopenia.  My Guest: Dr. Chris Meletis is an internationally recognized educator, author, lecturer, and functional medicine practitioner with more than 33 years of clinical experience. He has authored 18 books and over 200 scientific articles, contributing extensively to the fields of naturopathic and integrative medicine.  Formerly the Dean of Naturopathic Medicine and Chief Medical Officer at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, he was honored as Physician of the Year by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Passionate about accessible healthcare, he helped establish 16 free natural medicine clinics and continues to focus on the GI microbiome, mitochondrial health, nutritional biochemistry, and botanical medicine. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What trends have you seen in aging, and why does muscle become such a critical issue for women in midlife and beyond? Are physicians beginning to use muscle-related assessments as vital signs, and should strength be monitored more routinely as we age? What does grip strength actually measure, and why is it such a powerful indicator of overall strength and future health? What happens when you need a bunion surgery, joint replacement, or another procedure that temporarily limits activity? Will you lose muscle, and how can you prepare for it? If you're told to lose weight before a knee or hip replacement, how do you protect muscle mass while improving your health outcomes? Are we eating enough protein, and is our digestion allowing us to actually absorb and utilize it as we age? How can muscle-support strategies help during periods of bed rest, illness, pain, long COVID, or other situations that increase the risk of sarcopenia? What should active women do when they're already exercising but still struggle with maintaining muscle, energy, or lean body mass? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

A lot of people think that if you’re attracted to someone, arousal should just naturally happen. But it’s not that simple. In this episode, we explore the science of sexual arousal, the many pathways through which desire can emerge, and how stress, trauma, burnout, and major life experiences can reshape our relationship with pleasure. My guest is Kayna Cassard, a sex therapist, painful sex specialist, certified trauma therapist, and author of the book Arousal, Answered: An Expert's Guide to Authentic Pleasure and Liberating Sex. Her mission is to help others liberate themselves from outdated sexual scripts and empower them to rewrite their authentic sexual narratives. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: How can understanding the brain unlock more pleasure? Why is desire more complex than spontaneous vs. responsive? What role do stress, safety, and connection play in arousal? Why is it so hard to stay present during sex? How can becoming more embodied enhance desire? You can visit Kayna’s website to learn more about her work. Got a sex question?

Simon explores how property investors can maximise their returns by acquiring multiple properties using the same capital typically required for a single investment.  He breaks down the limitations of traditional buy-to-let strategies and the popular BRRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent, Repeat) method, specifically highlighting how rising renovation costs and delays can slow your momentum. Introducing his pioneering Property Funding Formula, Simon explains how securing a deep discount from a motivated seller combined with same-day refinancing allows you to buy two properties for the price of one, vastly accelerating your portfolio growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Traditional property investing requires waiting years for capital growth before you can refinance and purchase your next property. While the BRRRR method speeds up portfolio growth, it demands significant upfront cash and leaves you vulnerable to rising renovation costs and contractor reliability. Engaging with truly motivated sellers allows you to secure ethical, win-win deals at a substantial discount without needing a distressed property that requires heavy refurbishment. The Property Funding Formula utilises private bridging loans and pre-arranged same-day refinancing to cut your required upfront cash in half, enabling you to purchase two properties with the funds normally needed for one. BEST MOMENTS "Ideally, we do that by minimising the amount of money we put into any property, which means we have more money to buy more properties, which means we can quickly grow our portfolio." "When you find a truly motivated seller, take the time to find out what the problem is and come up with an ethical, win-win solution for them, you would be amazed at how flexible sellers can be."

Spending some time with beer's raw ingredients is important. Finding out what is new, exciting, or how other brewers are utilizing them to create world class beer helps make the whole industry stronger and pints taste better. This month, we're taking a look at malt and speaking with two industry professionals who are intimately involved in the processing and promotion of grain.Andrea Stanley is the co-owner of Valley Malt, a craft malthouse in Western Massachusetts supplying craft brewers, distillers, and bakers with locally grown malts and grain. In 2009 Andrea read an article about local farms and bakeries in the fertile CT River Valley reviving the lost art of growing and processing local grains. As an avid supporter of local food, Andrea saw an opportunity to connect this emerging local grain growing with craft brewing. She reached out to a local vegetable grower in her hometown of Hadley and convinced him to plant 25 acres of barley as a crop rotation.Initially her goal was to prove that malt barley could be successfully cultivated in Massachusetts and malted into an ingredient that local breweries would want to use. In October 2010, Andrea shoveled the first 1-Ton batch of locally grown malt and has since worked with her husband, malting team, and the local farming community to build a supply chain in the Northeast that continues to grow, despite many challenges to overcome. In 2022 Valley Malt underwent a major expansion, adding 1 million pounds of grain cleaning and storage and the capacity to malt 1.5 millions pounds annually.  Valley Malt now supports over 700 acres of grains annually in NY, VT, NH, MA, ME and CT with the plan to keep growing in the coming years by installing additional germination bins.  On the larger-scale commercial side of malt, Zach Kelly the territory sales manager in Northern California for the Country Malt Group. After a career in the brewhouse - where he worked for companies like Russian River and Hen House, he now helps brewers make smart decisions when it comes to finding the right grain bill for their next brew. Passionate about lagers and west coast IPA, Zach shares insight on what's exciting, reliable and available.

You float a reasonable idea in a meeting and within seconds, you're defending a plan you never made. This episode is about the straw man argument: what it is, where it shows up in schools, and why it quietly kills good decisions. Shane breaks down the four distinct forms it takes, from the classic distortion of what you actually said, to the hollow man (an opponent who doesn't even exist), the weak man (attacking the flimsiest version of a concern as though it speaks for everyone), and the iron man (puffing up your own idea so nobody dares question it). These aren't abstract philosophy; they show up in staff meetings, governor conversations, parent emails, and appraisal discussions wherever there's a bit of heat and a disagreement to avoid.You'll learn to spot a straw man while it's still happening using five practical tells, including the physical jolt of "that's not what I said," the telltale phrases like "so you're saying" or "so you don't care about," and the moment extreme words like "scrap," "never," or "abandon" start appearing in place of the measured thing you actually proposed. Shane then walks through a three-step response: don't take the bait, calmly reclaim your real position, and redirect to the genuine question. If you've ever left a meeting frustrated because a sensible idea turned into a monster you never built, this episode gives you the tools to stop that from happening again.Episode PartnersInternational Curriculum AssociationSisiJoin Shane's Intensive Leadership Programme at educationleaders.co/intensiveShane Leaning, an organisational coach based in Shanghai, supports school leaders globally.

There's a particular kind of trader Agnieszka Wood keeps meeting, and for years she was that trader herself. This is someone who has done the work — taken the courses, read the books, and can explain risk management so clearly you'd assume they taught it for a living — and who then sits down at their own screen and exits a winner too early out of fear, or breaks the exact rule they reviewed in their journal that very morning. The knowledge is genuinely there, which is what makes the question that follows so confusing: I know better than this, so why did I just do that? In Episode 82, Agnieszka sits inside that gap between knowing and doing, and looks at why reaching for the old high-achiever's move — learn more, study harder, add more rules — never seems to close it. Drawing on her own years in NLP and performance psychology, and on what she's watched genuinely change the traders she works with, she explores why what a trader knows and what a trader does under pressure are run by two very different parts of them, and why the real shift happens in a place most traders have never been told to look. It's a grounded, compassionate episode for anyone who has ever known exactly what to do at the desk and watched themselves do the opposite anyway.   About Agnieszka Wood Founder and CEO of Ahead Coach, Trading Mindset Coach and Trader Agnieszka Wood, is a passionate and accomplished day trader with over a decade of hands-on experience in the financial markets.

What happens when Occupational Therapy no longer feels aligned with the life you want to live? In this inspiring episode of the OT Yourself to Freedom Podcast, Beki Eakins sits down with Occupational Therapist and entrepreneur Mel Homan, founder of Premium Sensory, to discuss her journey from OT burnout to building a thriving business that creates meaningful impact for children and families. Like many Occupational Therapists, Mel entered the profession wanting to help people. Over time, however, the reality of heavy caseloads, system pressures, and constant demands left her questioning whether the traditional path was the right one. Instead of walking away from Occupational Therapy, Mel chose to reimagine it. Through courage, creativity, and a willingness to take imperfect action, she built Premium Sensory, a business that allows her to support families while creating greater flexibility, freedom, and fulfilment in her own life. This episode is a powerful reminder that Occupational Therapists do not need to wait until everything is perfect before making a change. Growth often starts with messy action. Whether you're an Occupational Therapist experiencing burnout, considering private practice, exploring entrepreneurship, or simply wondering what else is possible for your career, this conversation will leave you inspired to think bigger.

If you've ever walked away from a mastermind, a coaching call, or a well-meaning conversation with a colleague feeling more confused than when you started — this episode is going to name something you've probably been living with for a long time. It's not that there's too little advice out there. It's that most of us have never stopped to ask whether the advice we're taking is actually right for us, our business, and where we are right now.My guest today is Sandra Booker, founder of Sidekick COO and creator of Scale Society, a fractional COO who works with established online service providers to find the single constraint costing them the most time and money — and then designs the systems and team structures to solve it. Sandra is one of the most well-respected operators in the online business world, and this conversation is exactly as good as I knew it would be.What Sandra and I get into goes way beyond operations and systems. We talk about how to know when you actually need to hire someone versus when you need a better process, the art of pausing before reacting when urgency sets in, and Sandra's concept of "curating your room" — being intentional about whose voices you let influence your decisions, and why the most impressive person in the room isn't always the right one to listen to. Sandra also shares a super cool AI tool that she built and has been using in her own business that I cannot wait for you to hear about — and that I think is going to change how a lot of you are using AI.In this episode we talk about:Why the "self-made" entrepreneur is a myth — and what the business owners who actually build something have in common that nobody talks aboutHow to tell the difference between needing a team member, needing a system, or needing to pause and look at what's already in your businessThe real cost of making decisions from fear, urgency, or comparison — and what to do insteadSandra's concept of curating your room — why your business bestie might be exactly the wrong person to consult when you have a hard decision to makeThe AI tool Sandra built called “The Advisory Board” — and how you can do the same for yourselfWhy the right move in a revenue dip is almost always to look inside your existing business first — and what to look forHow to evaluate advice you're hearing — whether it's from a podcast, a mastermind, or someone making big revenue claims onlineYour next best business decision is probably not going to come from someone else's strategy. It's going to come from getting clearer on what's actually happening inside your own business — and this episode is going to help you do that!Design the room your decisions deserve with Sandra's AI Boardroom Blueprint.

Most people think sexuality is something we figure out early in life. But for many people, major realizations about their sexuality don't happen until much later, sometimes after decades in heterosexual relationships or marriages. Today, we're exploring the psychology of coming out later in life and what happens when you discover aspects of your sexuality you never fully understood before. My guest is Jess Levith, a licensed marriage and family therapist and AASECT certified sex therapist. She's fully trained in both attachment-focused EMDR therapy and trauma-focused acceptance and commitment therapy, works with LGBTQ+ and kinky folks, consensual non-monogamy, women's sexual health, and out-of-control sexual behavior. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: Why might someone not fully understand their sexuality until later in adulthood? Is coming out later in life always about repression, or can something else be happening? What is sexual emergence, and how does it differ from coming out? How can people approach conversations about changing sexuality with long-term partners in honest, compassionate ways? You can follow Jess on Instagram to stay updated about her work.

Simon unveils his boldest personal vision yet: a 10-year mission to help 100,000 first-time buyers in England successfully step onto the property ladder.  Simon is launching a brand-new movement designed to tackle the UK housing crisis head-on. He explains how this win-win strategy will simultaneously maximise revenues for burdened landlords looking to exit the market, provide affordable paths to homeownership, and offer massive new business opportunities for property partners across the country KEY TAKEAWAYS Simon has committed to a 5-to-10-year mission aimed at helping 100,000 first-time buyers in England purchase their first homes. The UK is facing a severe shortage of rental and residential properties, further exacerbated by landlords selling off their portfolios due to shifting regulations and increased taxation. The upcoming movement connects motivated sellers with first-time buyers, allowing landlords to maximise their sale revenue while giving buyers an accessible entry point onto the property ladder. Simon is actively seeking 500 property partners across the UK to help facilitate these transactions as a part-time or full-time business venture. BEST MOMENTS "My vision is I want to help 100,000 first-time buyers to get onto the property ladder in England in the next 5 to 10 years." "All of the businesses I've ever set up have always been a win-win... I try and find a problem, I solve it for people, and everyone involved has to win." "I want to change this negativity, I want to change this rhetoric, and actually, I want to help landlords to solve this problem by providing accommodation to first-time buyers." "As ever, I encourage you to invest with knowledge, invest with skill."

This week my guest is Phil Eil, an author and freelance journalist based in his hometown–and mind–Providence, RI.Phil's first book, “Prescription for Pain: How a Once Promising Doctor Became the ‘Pill Mill Killer'”, came out in 2024 and was hailed a riveting true-crime page-turner by the Columbus Dispatch. He's currently working on a new book about the history of the Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, RI, a maximum-security prison that was hailed as an economic lifeline for Rhode Island's poorest–and geographically smallest–city and is now being used to house people detained by ICE and causing quite a stir in the local community.Phil was the news editor and staff writer at the alt-weekly, the Providence Phoenix, until the paper closed in 2014. Since then, he's contributed to VICE, the Atlantic, Men's Health, The Nation, Boston Magazine, and Huffington Post, and is a regular contributor to vital local independent news outlets including UpriseRI and the Rhode Island Current.We covered:-How his first clue that he wanted to be a journalist was that he loved writing papers in college (not something most people love)- The continuing education class he took that clicked his career path into place- How meaning and passion can make up for lack of profit- The news story he just broke- How he uses speaking to supplement his income- The link between AI and the spread of disinformation (a subject he speaks about)- A look at the financial realities of being a journalist in 2026- Why he doesn't get down when reporting on bleak topics- The prescription medication that was a game changer for himConnect with Phil at philipeil.com, or on Instagram @philip.eil or Bluesky @phileil.For full show notes with links to everything we discuss, plus bonus photos!, visit katehanley.substack.com.Thank you for listening!

They explore why so many people struggle with being present, how building healthy relationships before difficult seasons creates a foundation of support, and why even introverts need caring connections. Carissa shares practical, easy-to-understand ways to support others, discusses the "relational nutrients" that help people heal, and explains how our own experiences can grow our empathy and deepen our ability to bear one another's burdens.

Join me for a special episode celebrating 8 years in business! When I realized it was 8 years ago this month that I officially started taking clients as a health and life coach, I thought it would be fun to share 8 lessons I've learned — one for each year.In my usual "tell it like it is" style, this is a pretty personal, real, and very behind-the-scenes talk about what it really takes to do this. This one is less about strategy and definitely more about what's underneath it all — the showing up, the relationships, the work, and maybe most importantly, how to stay in it for the long haul. I'm sharing stories from my life and my business — not only what I've learned from this coaching business, but from all of my years as a Broadway performer, a yoga teacher, a yoga studio owner, and all the other jobs I had throughout my years making it in New York City.As I always say, having your own business is not for the faint of heart — but it is absolutely for you if you're willing to do the work. This episode is for every coach, teacher, and service-based business owner who's in it for real.In this episode you'll hear:Why the milestone you just hit is already fading from your memory — and what to do about itThe reframe that changes everything about how you show up for your business every single dayWhat I really mean when I say your business is in a relationship with you — and what it needs from you that you might not be giving itWhy the people around you matter more than any strategy, tool, or platform you could invest inWhat I've learned about putting yourself out there over and over again — even when it doesn't go the way you plannedThe hardest thing about being in service to other people — and how to keep going anywayThe one thing you simply cannot get around if you want clients — and how to figure out what it looks like specifically for youEight years in this business has taught me that the strategy is the easy part. The real work is everything underneath it — the mindset, the resilience, the relationships, and the willingness to keep showing up even when you don't feel like it. If you're building something of your own, whether you're just starting out or you've been at this for years, I think you're going to find something in this episode that lands for you. This one came straight from the heart.

Most people say they want deeper relationships and more meaningful connection, yet many conversations stay stuck at the surface level. We talk about work, schedules, the weather, or whatever else feels safe. So why is it so hard to move beyond small talk? In this episode, we're exploring the science of meaningful conversation, from curiosity and attention to vulnerability, flirting, and emotional openness. I am joined once again by Nicholas Epley, the John Templeton Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Behavior Science, and Director of the Roman Family Center for Decision Research, at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He is the author of Mindwise: How We Understand What Others Think, Believe, Feel, and Want. His latest book is A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health, and Connection. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: Why do so many conversations stay surface-level? What kinds of questions foster closeness? How do we balance vulnerability with oversharing? Can people tell when they don't fully have our attention? What small conversational shifts create deeper connection?
