Today sassy Meg is back! In today's episode we dive back into how our inner critic really, truly is a liar.

Dear Boss Babe.. we need to get real about the guilt women carry when they start evolving into a new version of themselves, especially when everyone around them expects them to stay the same. We need to break down why we feel guilty for wanting more, how identity shifts actually happen, and what stepping into your next chapter really looks like. We talk about: Why so many high-achieving women feel guilty for wanting more How hustle culture convinces us to stay inside roles we've outgrown The truth about burn out and identity fatigue What it looks like to evolve without apologizing How to catch the guilt, question it, and reframe it The one small step Ericka wants you to take today toward the woman you're becoming If you've been navigating burn out, questioning your identity, or feeling the tension between who you are and who you're becoming — this episode gives you the language, the permission, and the grounding you've been craving. This is your reminder that expanding is not selfish. It's necessary.

Around here we love novelty and new, shiny things. But sometimes what we really need to embrace is our own tried and true messy ways.

Why do we think its so hard to talk about God to the people in our lives? John 4 tells u the harvest is ripe right now! Let's debunk the myths and get some real life motivation to start talking about Him more!#christian #christianpodcast #amanitalks #amanitalkspodcast #amanitalkspod #Jesus #god

In today's episode, I sit down with the brilliant and grounding Erin Walsh (author of "It's Their World Teens, Screens and the Science of Adolescence" and co-founder of the Spark and Stitch Institute) to talk about something every parent I know is secretly panicking about: raising humans in a digital world that evolves faster than our nervous systems can blink.Erin and I go way beyond the usual “screen-time limits” conversation. We get into the real, nuanced, evidence-based, actually-helpful stuff—like how our kids' tech behaviors are so often a mirror of our own emotional regulation, why shared family tech rituals matter more than the perfect set of rules, and what boys are learning (or not learning) about their emotions from the online spaces they inhabit.We talk about how the digital world is designed to hijack attention, how masculinity is being shaped in comment sections, and why secure attachment is still the number-one “parental control” we have access to. We explore the importance of boredom (yes, boredom—the thing our kids act like is fatal), co-regulation, and crowding out screens not with shame but with shared experiences that actually feel good to everyone.This conversation is honest, compassionate, and genuinely relieving. It names what so many of us feel but don't say out loud: it's hard to raise kids right now. The landscape is unfamiliar, the stakes feel high, and none of us grew up with the tools we're expected to have. Erin offers practical, grounded wisdom—and together, we remind you that you don't have to navigate any of this alone, and you don't have to do it perfectly for your kids to thrive.TakeawaysThe digital landscape poses unique and unprecedented challenges for families.Understanding how screen time affects development helps us guide—not control—our kids.Secure attachment is the most powerful buffer against tech-related overwhelm.Parents play an essential role in helping children navigate online content and culture.Boys often learn emotional expression from peers and online role models—many of whom are not emotionally mature.Boredom is not a crisis; it's a crucible for creativity and regulation.Shared family tech experiences build connection and restore balance.Emotional regulation means feeling feelings without causing harm to self or others.Healthy media habits require replacement strategies—not just restrictions.We need community, patience, and open dialogue to raise emotionally resilient kids in a digital age.Enjoy the episode, and I highly recommend Erin's book and work! https://sparkandstitchinstitute.com/about/erin-walsh/

Following in the footsteps of Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Donald Trump, today's PEP Talk guest runs a social media platform. It may be a bit smaller than X or Facebook, but it's purpose is much narrower and nobler. As Christians grapple with what it means to live out their faith online, the team at Grow Faith has built a platform just for them. Simon Wenham finds out more...Richard Matthews is co-founder and COO of Grow Faith, which produces the Grow app.

As the calendar barrels toward its final pages, Pete sits down for a solo episode to talk about the strange, sloppy, wonderful chaos of the year's final weeks. From an economy that can't decide what mood it's in, to holiday spending that threatens to turn December joy into January regret, Pete breaks down what Americans are really wrestling with right now — and how to keep your financial head on straight while everything else gets weird. In classic Pete fashion, he mixes practical advice with self-deprecating humor, heartfelt reminders, and a gentle nudge toward sanity. If you're feeling behind on your goals, confused by the markets, or tempted to buy your nephew a $400 gaming headset “because it's the holidays,” this is your permission to slow down, reset, and approach the end of the year with clarity instead of chaos. A funny, grounding, down-to-earth episode for anyone trying to finish the year strong — or at least finish it without crying into their January bank statement.

In this episode of The Mentor Sessions, I share something a little different: a Dharma talk I recently offered in my monthly class for yoga teachers. These monthly gatherings are one of my favorite places to teach—intimate, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in practice—and this particular talk felt important to bring to the podcast. Over the last several months, as the political situation in the United States has become more extreme and more frightening, I've been turning again and again to a Buddhist teaching known as The Four Reminders. These contemplations come from the Tibetan Buddhist lineage, and while they are simple, they cut right to the heart of what matters most. They have become the anchor of my own personal practice during this time of rising fascism, fear, and widespread suffering. In this episode, I share how I came back to these teachings—interestingly, prompted not by the worst harm being done in this country, but by the moment Jimmy Fallon was taken off the air for criticizing the administration. Watching someone with so much privilege get silenced instantly made me realize that we weren't sliding toward fascism. We were already living inside it. And from that moment, I knew I didn't want to get stuck in despair. I wanted to stay awake, engaged, loving, and grounded. The Four Reminders helped me do that. In this episode, you'll hear: Why these four contemplations feel so powerful and clarifying How reflecting on the preciousness of human life expands our compassion for ourselves, each other, and the planet The truth of impermanence — and how it can become a liberatory force rather than a source of fear The reality of karma and interdependence, and why even the smallest actions matter The universality of suffering, and why it is not inevitable How these teachings help me hold a vision of a world where every being is safe, free, and fed Why joy is not a luxury but an essential part of practice—especially in oppressive times The role of protest, collective action, and tiny daily choices in shaping the world we believe is possible After the Dharma talk, I share some of the reflections and questions that came up in conversation with the teachers in class. One theme that surfaced again and again was how grounding it feels to hold a positive vision—not in a naïve or spiritually bypassing way, but as a guiding truth that helps us stay resourced, energized, and committed. I talk about the small actions I take to stay connected to this vision, like calling my representatives or supporting my local food bank, and why these seemingly insignificant acts matter. We may not see the fruits of our labor in our lifetime, but as the Gita reminds us, that doesn't mean the work isn't ours to do. If you're feeling overwhelmed right now… I hope this episode reminds you that your life is precious, your presence matters, and your choices—however small—ripple outward. I hope it gives you permission to feel your grief and to feel joy. And I hope it encourages you to stay rooted in your own vision of what is possible for humanity.

Last week I woke up on Monday morning feeling shattered. And not just the kind of tiredness that comes from a couple of late nights or a busy weekend. I mean the kind of bone tired exhaustion that comes from over doing it for some time.It's a level of exhaustion that once upon a time I would have met with a strong coffee, a stern word with myself and a to-do list that looked like a military operation. Exhaustion, in those days, was something to override, not listen to.But - I'm glad to say - those days are long gone.Now, when I feel that kind of bone weariness and depletion - particularly on a Monday morning - I see it as a big fat warning sign: that something is wildly off kilter and needs to be addressed. Immediately.And so, before the day had even begun, I downed tools, took a step back and got to the heart of what was causing me to feel so worn out.And within just a few days I was back to feeling fully rested and energised. Which felt nothing short of miraculous. So this week's Pep Talk is for you if you've been feeling frazzled, overstretched, running on empty or just quietly aware that the way you're operating right now just isn't sustainable.I want to show you how to course-correct and identify what simple things will help you to unfrazzle yourself and get your energy back in a short space of time.And let's all agree together that, as we head into the Christmas period, we don't normalise feeling utterly shattered all of the time. And that if we do, we see it as a sign that we need to stop and take a look at what we need to fill up our cups and recharge our batteries - even 8 minutes lying on your bed, staring at the ceiling can make a surprisingly big difference (as you'll hear in the episode

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday. In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones dives into a tender challenge many parents face—when daughters feel left out, overlooked, or unsure of their place among peers. Melissa reminds us that a girl's worth isn't determined by who includes her, invites her, or validates her. It's rooted in who she is, not who chooses her.Tune in to discover:How to help your daughter navigate moments of exclusion with resilienceWhy her value has nothing to do with social circles, invitations, or popularityWays to guide her toward friendships that feel authentic, supportive, and energizingThe powerful impact your reassurance and belief have on her growing sense of self-worthThis heartfelt episode is a gentle reminder that confidence blossoms when girls learn their value is unshakable—especially when the world makes them doubt it.If you know a parent who needs this encouragement today, share this episode with them. Together, we can raise girls who know their worth isn't up for a vote.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

You don't want flowers.You want reassurance.If he can post a story, he can send a sentence that says “I care about you.”This episode is for every woman who feels crazy for needing words - because guess what? You're not clingy. You're not insecure. You're under-affirmed.We're unpacking why hearing “I love you,” “I'm proud of you,” or “I'm here” hits like emotional oxygen… and why silence feels like abandonment.If his silence makes you overthink,if you keep replaying one compliment for three weeks,if you've ever begged a man to just communicate —you're in the right place.Hit play and stop settling for men who “feel it” but can't say it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There will always be people who don't get you, or why you make the decisions you do. This is a good one if you need a reminder that you get to do life your way - and that's ok.

Dear boss babe... if you've been running on fumes, convincing yourself that one more post, one more story, one more reel will finally “get you ahead”… this one's for you. Because what if slowing down is the secret to your next big level? Today I am getting real about burnout, hustle culture, and the pressure to “show up” online 24/7. After taking a two-month social media break, she's sharing what really happens when you log off — and how rest isn't rebellion, it's a strategy. You'll hear her reflect on the fear of losing momentum, the courage it takes to disconnect, and the beautiful clarity that comes when you stop performing and start being present again. This episode is a love letter to every boss babe who's ever felt like the algorithm was running her life. If you've been craving peace, presence, and purpose beyond the screen — this one's your reminder to take your power (and your phone) off airplane mode.

In this episode of The Queen of Pep Talks, Jessica shares exactly what she's doing — and not doing — to lock back in with her health and fitness through the end of the year.She opens up about redefining what “locking back in” really means, how she's creating accountability without pressure, and why small, consistent changes always win over all-or-nothing extremes.This honest, motivating conversation will help you release perfection, rebuild momentum, and fall back in love with taking care of yourself — one aligned decision at a time.If you're ready to finish 2025 strong, this episode is your reminder: progress doesn't come from punishing yourself, it comes from recommitting to yourself.

Today's episode is inspired by our road trip back to the UK! We're focusing on how there are times in life where we need to avoid doing what others feel is the most exciting thing ever, and take our own needs into consideration, even if it's a bit dull.

Dear boss babe — we need to talk. ... Because no one warns you how chasing funding can quietly drain the very energy you need to build your dream. If you've ever refreshed your inbox waiting for an investor's “yes” or felt your worth tied to a dollar amount, this episode is your reset button. Today I get real about the emotional side of fundraising — the burnout, the rejection loops, and the quiet self-doubt that creeps in between investor calls. I open up about her own journey raising money for Silkenn and how I have learned that capital isn't the only thing worth chasing. You'll hear my powerful framework for protecting your energy while still playing big — what she calls your “Energetic ROI.” Because when the process feels heavy, it's not about giving up; it's about learning to align. This isn't just a fundraising strategy session — it's a reminder that protecting your peace is leadership, and rest is part of the work, too.
