Podcasts about permission granted

Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast. Today's episode is all about doing the big scary thing, and Elizabeth sits down with her friend Candice West, an advanced practice nurse, somatic practitioner, and founder of The Soma Center, who is producing her first ever live performance, Permission Granted, at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach. This conversation is for anyone who has an idea sitting on a shelf, the book, the event, the big leap you keep talking yourself out of. Candice opens up about what it actually feels like to commit to something this size with zero production experience, and how detachment from outcome became the thing that let her keep going even when a lead dancer broke her foot weeks before opening night. She and Elizabeth talk honestly about fear of failure, why financial risk isn't the risk people think it is, and what it means to stop shrinking and finally take up the whole stage instead of the smaller, safer room. If you've ever had a big scary thing you've been sitting on, this episode is your permission slip. Take a listen, and let it stir something loose.

We spend a lot of time telling ourselves what we should be doing.We should be further along. We should have it figured out. We should say yes. We should be handling things better.Honestly, sometimes we just need to stop should-ing all over ourselves. This short guided meditation is your permission slip to rest, change your mind, say no, take more time, or simply not know what comes next.You don't have to earn rest. You don't have to explain every choice. And you definitely don't have to have it all figured out.When you're tired of should-ing all over yourself, press play. Send us Fan MailHow Yoga Changed My Life a PodcastSend Us Your Stories!If you have a story about how yoga, meditation, breath work, journaling, or movement changed your life, we want to hear from you! These podcasts are really about the same thing — how people move through the seasons of life they didn't plan for, and what helps them along the way.If you'd like to be on the show or share your story:  Fill out our guest form or email us at yogachanged@gmail.com Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@yogachangedFollow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/yogachanged/More info, go to https://howyogachangedmylife.comFor those who have reached out asking how to support Adrienne and her family during this time, click here to donate.

S6:E68 Sometimes you meet someone whose work you've known for years and then discover that the story behind the success is even better than you expected. This was one of those conversations. Dr. LL openly admits to a little fangirling (okay - a lot - I cannot even tell you what an honor and privilege it was to have her on my show!) as she welcomes Patty Aubery, longtime business partner of Jack Canfield and former President of Chicken Soup for the Soul. But what follows isn't a highlight reel. Patty talks about confidence, fear, collaboration, success, publishing, speaking, the extraordinary growth of Chicken Soup for the Soul and the surprising truth that while she was helping build an international phenomenon, she was also a self-described "professional hider." She turned down enormous speaking opportunities. She stayed behind the scenes doing what she already knew she was good at. Until her mother, while in hospice, told her: "Promise me that you won't be invisible. I didn't raise a daughter to be invisible." Three months later, Patty gave her first workshop. If people don't know what you know, what you've accomplished, or what you can contribute, they cannot recognize your value. And today, the same problem extends to AI systems: authority that isn't expressed clearly and consistently becomes authority that can be misunderstood or never recognized at all.

In part four of the Permission to Change series, Lesley Logan reframes changing your niche as recognizing the superpower you already have. She walks through a simple self-awareness map built on three buckets, your values, your skills, and your interests, and shows how the overlap points to work that feels aligned instead of forced. She shares how her own experience shaped the way she built OPC and Agency. If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

You're not restarting. You are refining because you have years of accumulated wisdom. You have years of achievements, years of data that you have survived every one of your bad days. Lesley Logan 0:16  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:59  Welcome back to Be It, babe, but we are talking Permission to Change again this week. We're going a little deeper. This is a little more nuanced. This hopefully gives you some questions to ask yourself when it comes to finding your superpower and what it is that you do, so you don't have to start all over. Because oftentimes it's not actually that we have to start all the way over; we often just have to maybe even just redefine our title, or redefine who we're reaching out to, or who we're inviting into our lives based on having, like, "Oh, hold on, this is what actually lights me up," or "This is what people love about me." We've had some really great guests on the show who are all StrengthsFinder coaches. There was a woman we had recently in the last year who I loved so much out of Utah, and then there was a guy out of Texas that I really, really liked. When you understand what your superpowers are, it really helps you sometimes relook at what your role is. Sometimes that means you get to stay in that role, but you just have different responsibilities. And sometimes you have to totally leave, right? Or you actually just do a lateral change. Like my neighbor, he actually took a lateral promotion because he really wanted to be working on developing people's skill sets in the business versus always talking about the data. So that's really cool.Lesley Logan 2:17   The guest we had, she talked about how she found herself really wanting to be a support tool, showing people where they could grow, what their superpowers were, as opposed to doing the actual day-to-day work. For me, in the last episode, I talked about how I had created a niche that I wanted to explore out of, and the reality is, because I figured out what my superpower was in that role, it allowed me to apply it to another job. So I didn't get to stay in that job. I got to apply it to my personal, my Profitable Pilates business where I coach people. Because what I'm super, super good at is helping people achieve what their goals are, right? So I want you to have ways of kind of figuring that for yourself, because it may actually allow you to see, "Oh, maybe I'm spending too much time in the areas that are not in alignment, and this other area over here that is in alignment, if I could just spend more time there, I could actually continue on doing things and be in more alignment." Look, I love that you listen to this podcast, seeking out support and inspiration and answers, and that's awesome. And I hope you keep doing that. Also, sometimes we're too often looking outside ourselves for the right answer or the next trend or the perfect formula. I see this all the time in the Pilates industry. Everyone's chasing whatever is going to get them more views instead of talking about what they do best, because most of them don't know. We ask people all the time, "Who do you help? How do you help people? What's your superpower in that?" And they're like, "I help everybody with everything." No way, no fucking way, no way. There has got to be people you would not help. Would you help people who don't want to listen? Okay, well then you don't help everybody, right?Lesley Logan 4:05  Do you help people who don't want to do private sessions or don't want to do group sessions? No, you actually do have a niche. You do have something in there. So I really want us to, I hope that this gives you some permission to recognize that you can curate your own space by going inward and really asking yourself some deep questions that could help you see that you're a badass, right? I did an episode with Balanced Body's podcast called Pilates Perspectives. It came out in June of 2026, so this year. I hope you listen to it because we talk about how, like Joy says, I created a niche within a niche, and I was like, "Yeah." I really created what I needed because it didn't exist, or at least if it did exist, I didn't feel welcome. And I hope this episode gives you permission to curate and create what it is that you need, so that you can show up the way that you want to in full alignment. Okay?Lesley Logan 5:00  I think it's really easy, people look at what I do, and they're like, "Oh my God, she was just all-knowing. She's like I don't know, like I was dropped out of outer space and exactly what I'm doing." But I really did create it, and I created OPC based on like, I was traveling a lot, and I wanted my people to have a way to take class when I was traveling, but I also didn't want them to lose what it is that they loved about in-person classes. That's how I created OPC to be different than what's out there. I created Agency, Profitable Pilates as a space not for franchise owners of 70 studios, but for the single to one or two studios, like the homeowner, home business to single studio or two-studio business owner because they were being left out.Lesley Logan 5:47  The business advice out there is all bro-style, all about KPIs and numbers, and not at all about impact, right? So I created what is needed in the world. Those people, those studio owners need that kind of support because, yes, they can make good money impacting great people. But if they're only listening to the business coaches out there, it's based on churn. It's actually accepting the fact that people are not going to stick around. I want your people to stick around, so I actually want you to have client retention. I want you to get them the benefits that they want. So I am one of those people who sees what's out there and then makes it my own. If you remember my decoupage shoe story, I saw painted shoes and I was like, "Oh, I could do that with this thing, and then that would solve this problem over here." So I'm not an inventor, but I am definitely someone who can spiral out a good idea to help a group of people who don't feel accepted in that, who don't feel seen, right? Like in the Pilates Perspectives podcast, I talked about how I became a Pilates instructor. At the time, it was very weird to not be a dancer and be a Pilates instructor. So I just, now it's not weird at all, but back then it was so weird, and I felt embarrassed, and so I really had to. I became a teacher who clients who didn't feel like they belonged in those spaces could be with, and then that led to teachers feeling like they could be safe in my space, and that led to this. Not that there's anything wrong with the dance teachers at all, that's not what I'm saying. But, you know, we all can't make everyone feel seen. Some of us are better off at making certain people who are who we once were feel the most seen.Lesley Logan 7:30  So, how do you go inward and get into a self-awareness map, if you will, to figure out what unique things you have, so you can get alignment? Okay, so you're going to have three different little circles or groupings that you're going to do. So the first one is values. So when you go into your values—and we actually in Profit Pilates have a great course on how to figure out what your values are. You can actually buy it. It's a really fun little tool that you can do, a little strategy you can do, but your values, right? What are your values? So I want you to think of wherever in your life that you're trying to change, right? So if it's a friendship role or a family role, what are your personal life values? Or if it's a role in a job that you have or in your business, what are your business values, right? What are those values, and then when you have those down, it's going to help you really understand why you're going to say no to things. Because if things don't align with your values, it's not going to work. Now, how do you use those values to find life alignment? Well, I want you to kind of think about if you are in your values, you are actually protecting your peace, your honesty, and your nervous system, right? And your values will have probably changed from today than 10 years ago. So if you haven't done this in a while, it's probably time to update them. But when you look at those values, it's really going to be helpful to go, "Okay, so in the area of my life that I'm trying to change, in the niche that I'm wanting to realign, what about it is out of alignment of these values?" This way, you're going to understand what you should be avoiding, and then also what about it is in alignment with my values. So then you're not throwing the friendship, the job, the event, the thing, the routine out the window. You're going, "Okay, I can keep this part, but this part has to change," and then you can use your values in a way to figure out how that's going to change, right? Or you can ask questions, or you can sit and pause and percolate on it. But you can also just say, "Hey, moving forward, I'm absolutely down with these three things that I said I would do. These two things over here, I'd love to meet with you to see how we can find a new way of doing them, right? Because they're just feeling misaligned."Lesley Logan 11:18  Or maybe there is something that people are needing that would tap into your weird skills, right? Maybe you're really good at listening. Maybe you're really good at organizing. Write them down.Lesley Logan 11:29  Next bucket, I want you to write down your interests. So if it's business, if it's what you do, what are you the most interested in? I have people who are so interested when they come to get coaching from me. I'm like pelvic floor, scoliosis, neurological conditions, osteoporosis. Great, write it down and then go back through. Do you have all the skill sets you need for that? No. Okay, that's on your to-do list. Okay, how does it align with your values? All these things go together, right? What are the world's interests? Like, what are the people in the communitywhat are their interests? Because you want to know what your interests are, and then what are their interests? Because there's going to be a happy little medium, and that's where you're going to plant yourself, right? What do you naturally research or talk about, or what do you do when no one's paying attention or no one's paying you, right? Those are your interests.Lesley Logan 12:17  Okay, so when you can get these things written down, and you can look at them, and you can start to see, "Okay, this is where these overlap. This is where I'm missing some stuff. This is where this is going on. Oh, my interest is this thing over here, but their interest is this thing over here." Okay, whoa, they feel really far apart. Is there a place where those two things overlap in one sliver? It's a little sliver, right? Like if you like Italian and someone likes Mediterranean, there is a sliver of overlap in those two things, right? So, how can you put all this down and then take a moment to see? This is your self-awareness tool. This is how you're going to figure out how to continue to align yourself in things that make sense for you. This is how you're going to start to change things, because if you base things on your values, it becomes a really great filter. If you say yes or raise your hand for things that are within the skill sets that you like and overlap with your interests, oh my gosh, you're going to feel like everything is something that's enjoyable and not a heavy lift even on bad days.Lesley Logan 13:24  So you, my love, you need to understand that you are not starting over. You're not restarting, you're refining, because you have years of accumulated wisdom. You have years of achievements, years of data that you have survived every one of your bad days. And we know everything evolves, and we let other people change their minds and other people do new things. We've got to allow ourselves to pivot because we're not throwing away our past. We are taking every lesson, every communication skill, every ounce of confidence we've ever had, and we're channeling it into something that's lighter and better focused, that's in alignment.Lesley Logan 14:09   And so, I know it's hard when you're a professional overachiever, but I want you to normalize taking some action, some imperfect action, something messy, because that is how you're going to get clarity in your refinement. If you try to plan this entire pivot out, this realignment out without actually taking steps, it is not going to work out because you're not going to be getting to collect data along the way, right? Just like when we do Pilates, I don't watch someone stand still to see if they're aligned. I could, but I actually watch them move because it lets me see: is there any part of that movement they find alignment that they work with balance, or oh no, they always are imbalanced? So that's exactly why when they're standing still, right? We find alignment when we move. You will find alignment in taking action. You will find clarity, and you're refining who you are. So, full permission here granted to refine who you are, to be more aligned with what feels good to you. And I would love to hear the changes that you make, or the things you discover, the values and interests that became more clear. Just send it to thebeitpod.com/questions.

What if the most important spiritual question isn't, "What do I want?" but "What am I allowing to take root in my life?" Drawing on Charles Fillmore's teaching on the faculty of Will, we'll explore how this often-overlooked spiritual power shapes our character, influences the direction of our consciousness, and helps us live in greater alignment with the Divine within us.

I am joined by Fi Mims, an award-winning personal branding photographer and business coach helping women 40+ step into greater visibility, confidence and demand, so they can grow profitable, sustainable service-based businesses.We talk about the shift that happens in this season of life, where confidence can feel both stronger and shakier at the same time, and where the old version of hustle starts to feel less appealing. We unpack the “until” trap, the habit of waiting until you feel more ready, more certain, more qualified or even more resourced before you let yourself be seen.This is a grounded conversation about lifestyle first, then profit, and why boundaries are not admin, they are a strategy. If you are ready to redefine success on your terms, protect your energy and build a business that supports the woman you are becoming.Links:  https://www.tmlegalatelier.com.au/when-your-contracts-havent-kept-up-with-your-businessSign up for my fortnightly Atelier Briefings hereCheck Your Legals with the Essential Legal Checklist hereBook a Complimentary Introduction Call with me hereFi Mims Website hereFi Mims Instagram page here Fi Mims LinkedIn page here

Forgiveness has a pace of its own, and sometimes the most honest thing we can do is admit we're not there yet. This episode explores what it means to give ourselves (and each other) permission to be in process, without the pressure to be further along than we actually are.    LINKS: Book of Forgiving  |  Connect  |  YouTube  |  Coming Up   TRANSCRIPT: Brief framing before reading: We're talking about forgiveness in this series. About what happens when someone hurts us — or when we hurt someone else. And about the choices we have when that happens. I'm going to read you the first half of a book today. We're going to stop in the middle on purpose because the most important part of the story for TODAY is actually what happens right... here. And we're going to finish it next week. Read first half of Wally and Freya. Brief unpack after reading: What's happening in the story: someone got hurt. Both of them, actually. And now they have a choice. Two roads: get even, stay hurt… OR something harder, and maybe even braver. Forgiveness doesn't always happen right away. It takes practice. And the very first steps are: tell somebody you trust what happened, and then tell about what it felt like. When somebody does something that hurts me, I feel sad, and kind of mad. Sometimes it feels like I don't matter much to them. Just saying that out loud is an important thing to do! In the story, Wally and Freya are both sad. Both hurt. And now they have a choice to make. So do we. We'll find out what they choose next week. The Stone — Kids Practice Give each child a stone. This stone is like the hurt we carry when someone has hurt our feelings, or our bodies, or our hearts. It has some weight to it, just like the hurt does. You can return to your seats and work in their special kids Sunday Paper: Trace the stone on the paper. Inside the tracing, write or draw what the hurt is. Hold onto your stone. We're going to do something with it in a few minutes, everybody together. You can also listen in to what I'm saying, if you want to hear more about forgiving! Catching Everybody Up//Recap Welcome anyone who is new or wasn't here Week 1. I want to do a brief recap: We're in a series called The Book of Forgiving, drawing from Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his daughter Mpho's important work on what forgiveness actually is, and how to do it. The Tutus aren't theorists. Desmond Tutu chaired South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Mpho lost her husband to violent crime. These are people who have earned the right to talk about this. Their framework is called the Fourfold Path: Telling the Story → Naming the Hurt → Granting Forgiveness → Renewing or Releasing the Relationship. In wk 1 we looked at the first step: Telling the Story. Today: Naming the Hurt. The big idea underneath all of it: We desperately need an imagination bigger than the revenge cycle we live inside culturally. That cycle is everywhere— in our politics, our entertainment, our instincts. The Tutus show us a different road. The Problem with How We Do Forgiveness Let's be honest about why forgiveness is so hard to practice, even for people who believe in it. We've collapsed forgiveness into remorse. Someone says "sorry!"— maybe genuinely, maybe not— and suddenly the pressure shifts entirely to the person who was hurt: Now you have to forgive. We skip the whole middle. That's not forgiveness. That's cruel urgency dressed up as something kind. We've made forgetting the goal. But the Tutus are clear: forgetting is not only impossible, it's actually counterproductive. Memory is part of how we protect ourselves. Part of how we stay honest. Forgiveness is not amnesia. We've weaponized it. In religious spaces especially, "forgive" has been used to protect people who caused harm and to silence people who were hurt. When forgiveness gets wielded as a command that bypasses accountability — when it becomes "Jesus says you have to forgive, so stop talking about what happened" — that is not sacred or faithful. That is abusive. And yet — Jesus does make forgiveness an ultimate, limitless command. Seventy times seven. God forgives without limit; our response is gratitude and extending that same grace. So how do we hold both? How do we take forgiveness seriously without letting it become a weapon? The answer is: we stop skipping the important steps. Forgiveness Cannot Be Rushed The Fourfold Path is a path…  it has an order for a reason. You cannot get to granting forgiveness without first telling the story and naming the hurt. Trying to skip there is what creates the toxic, pressured, performative version of forgiveness we've all experienced. And we'll get into this later in the series, but granting forgiveness has nothing to do with the decision to either renegotiate or release that relationship.  Forgiveness needs to be as slow as it needs to be. It has a pace of its own. That pace deserves to be honored. (Callback to the stone practice from Week 1): Did anybody actually hold that stone in their non-dominant hand for six hours this week? What was that like? [[funny?]] That's the point. Six hours felt like a lot. Some of us have been carrying something for six years. Or sixty. It deserves time. The Second Step: Naming the Hurt  So what does it actually mean to name the hurt? It starts with telling your story… to yourself? To God? To people you trust. Not to everyone. Not on social media. Not to the first person who will listen. To the right people, in a safe space. The Tutus: Tell your story first to a friend, loved one, or trusted person. That's a good place to start. There is a reason confession exists across almost every spiritual tradition. Not as a transaction, but as the practice of being heard without being fixed. What naming the hurt does: It begins to move what happened from something that is happening to you — constantly, on loop — into something that happened, that you can now begin to look at. Bessel van der Kolk: the body keeps what the mind won't name. When we give language to an experience, we move it from the body's alarm system into the part of the brain that can begin to process it. The Tutus frame it this way: Identify the feelings within the facts. The facts are WHAT HAPPENED. The feelings are what it COST you. What naming the hurt does NOT do: It does not mean what was done to you was okay. It does not mean you've forgiven anything yet. It does not mean you owe anyone resolution. But there is something that begins to shift. There is relief– which to be clear, is not the same as justice, and not the same as healing, but real relief— when the hurt stops being the main character in your story because you finally named it out loud. The Tutus again: No feeling is wrong, bad, or invalid. Move forward when you are ready. We Are Only Human With Other Humans This is why we do this together. Not because community is always safe — sometimes it isn't. But because we cannot become fully human alone. The Tutus: We do not heal in isolation. Connecting with others is how we develop compassion for others and for ourselves. What makes a good witness to someone naming their hurt? The Tutus give us a short, countercultural list: Listen. Do not try to fix the pain. Do not minimize the loss. Do not offer advice. Offer your love and your caring. That's it. Stay in the room. Don't flinch. Don't fix. That is one of the most profound gifts one human can offer another. Invitation: The Stone Practice Now we're all going to do something together— kids and adults. Invite everyone to pick up or find their stone. Walk them through the Tutus' "Clenching the Stone" practice (Book of Forgiving, Chapter 5): Take your stone in your dominant hand. Think of a hurt you are carrying right now. Name it… silently, or under your breath. As you name it, clench the stone in your fist. Now open your hand. As you release your fist, release the hurt — not forever, not resolved, just... set down for a moment. You can clench and release again for each thing you're carrying. Breathe… We're not asking you to be over it. We're not asking you to forgive it yet. We're just asking you to name it, and take the permission you can give yourself to walk the path of forgiving, at a pace that is right for you. That's enough for today. That's the work.

For twenty years, women have been told to eat less, do more cardio, and chase a smaller number on the scale. In this episode, Brian gives women in their 40s and 50s permission to completely change the goal — and explains exactly why that shift is the thing that finally makes everything work.This episode covers the four things midlife women are not doing enough of, the one thing most are doing too much of, and what happens inside the body and mind when women stop chasing smaller and start chasing stronger.Timestamps:00:00 — The permission most women in midlife have never been given00:22 — Why "stop trying to shrink" is not what you expect to hear from a fitness coach00:45 — Permission #1: Eat more protein — why under-eating protein is working against you01:08 — Permission #2: Stop overdoing cardio — what excessive moderate cardio does to your hormones and metabolism in midlife01:32 — Permission #3: Lift heavier than you think you should — what real resistance training does for body composition and bone density01:52 — Permission #4: Prioritize recovery like it is part of the work — sleep, rest, and stress as training tools02:12 — Shifting the goal from what your body looks like to what your body can do02:32 — What Brian has seen inside the Applied Fitness studio when women make this shift02:52 — The closing permission: you are not broken, you just needed a new goalKey Takeaway: When women stop chasing smaller and start chasing stronger, everything shifts — body composition, confidence, energy, and the relationship with their own body.

In this episode:In this episode, we wade into the practical aspects of athletic performance, specifically the topic of omega-3 fatty acids. In our Medical Mailbag segment, we tackle a listener's question about whether these fishy supplements really live up to their hype in enhancing athletic performance. While there's no denying that omega-3s have some health benefits, the evidence supporting their role in boosting performance is about as clear as muddy water. We dissect several studies, ranging from positive correlations in recovery to the reality that many athletes reported no significant performance improvements. So, are omega-3s worth adding to your regimen? We'll navigate through the scientific murkiness and help you decide whether to dive in or stay on dry land. Finally, we wrap up with a candid conversation about the challenges many face in the triathlon community, particularly around the notion of 'selfishness' when it comes to training. Mari Wuellner brings a refreshing perspective, encouraging women to embrace their right to prioritize their own health and fitness without the shackles of societal expectations. It's a powerful reminder that taking time for oneself doesn't mean neglecting others; in fact, it can lead to being a better partner, parent, and friend. We discuss practical strategies for setting boundaries and communicating needs effectively, especially in a world that often pressures women to be everything for everyone. This episode isn't just about triathlon; it's about empowering each other to pursue our passions unapologetically.Segments:[9:25]- Medical Mailbag: Omega 3's[44:43]- Interview: Mari WuellnerLinks@mariwuellner on InstagramMari's Website

So much of what women contend with during divorce is really intense grief. Sometimes they don't name it that or even realize that's what's happening, but that is what's happening. Barri Leiner Grant, founder and Chief Grief Officer™ of The Memory Circle, is back with me to keep the conversation going about grieving before, during, and after divorce. For those new to Barri, her community and creative space is created for those learning to live with loss. She's a highly respected grief specialist, writer, coach, and educator, and she leads transformative gatherings, retreats, and workshops that explore grief tending tools, rituals, and practices that foster connection, healing, and hope. In this conversation, Barri and I get into why we're still such a grief-denying society when it comes to non-death loss, and we spend a good chunk of time on rituals. Because here's the thing: there is no funeral for a divorce. No burial, nothing formal. So we talk about how women can make their own. Like burying a copy of your decree (just not the only one, you'll need it). Lighting a candle on the anniversary. Writing yourself a letter. Painting the inside of your front door hot pink. Getting the tattoo. Whatever helps you name the loss, move the energy, and reclaim the space. What you'll hear about in this episode: Why women become their own judge and jury about naming non-death loss (1:54) Why grieving a divorce feels confusing even if you're the one who asked for it, and why the future you imagined is still a real loss (3:26) What Barri's own divorce (layered on top of losing her mom) taught her about asking for support (5:06) Why writing is one of the most accessible grief tending tools (20:02) Grief tending, self-compassion, and why it's not a just bath with salts (26:26) Why making your own ritual matters when the culture doesn't give you one (33:20) Learn more about Barri Leiner Grant: Barri Leiner Grant is a highly respected grief specialist, author and founder of The Memory Circle, a creative and healing space for remembrance and ritual. Barri brings a distinct aesthetic sensibility to the field of grief work—bridging beauty and healing in ways that feel modern, personal, and deeply human. She is the creator of Permission Granted, a widely read Substack newsletter that invites readers to navigate loss with honesty, tenderness, and earned wisdom. Barri is recognized for her unique approach to grief support, which combines writing storytelling, ritual and community to help people mark loss with intention and carry memories forward with care. Sought after as a speaker, collaborator, and guide, Barri is redefining how we talk about grief. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post, Psychology Today, Maria Shriver's Sunday paper and award winning podcasts.

But at what point do we stop waiting and start taking it for ourselves?Mentor, facilitator and permission advocate Jillian Reilly took hers early on in her career, during a US-sponsored AIDS programme that she was leading in Zimbabwe. Shaking in her shoes, she chose to speak her truth and honour her integrity, even if it meant going against the grain of expectation.For our first unscripted exploration of Unprofessionalism, Jillian - bestselling author of The 10 Permissions - joins me to deliver an important reminder: no one is coming to give us permission.

In this fast-paced, slightly ranty, totally real conversation, Kate Megaw and Ryan Smith dive into the invisible force that quietly slows teams down: the lack of permission.  Permission to simplify.  Permission to say, “I don't know.” Permission to experiment, to stop doing pointless work, to make decisions without perfect information, and to say a confident “no” (or at least, “not right now”).They swap stories from real teams, bug backlogs, funding models, and leadership workshops to show how often smart people wait for a green light that never comes.  You'll walk away with 10 concrete “permissions” you can give your team (and yourself) today to reduce overcomplication, increase ownership, and bring agility back to life in the day-to-day.

In Part 2 of this intimate conversation, Shari continues her discussion with Carl Richards, the New York Times “Sketch Guy.” If Part 1 was about the behavior behind money, Part 2 is about the beliefs behind your life. Carl opens up about how his simple sketches began, how a single comment from his wife reshaped his entire career, and why permission—not math—is often the missing piece in big financial and life decisions. He shares unforgettable stories, including the woman who left her prestigious Wall Street law job to return home and help her father run the family farm—because Carl granted her the “permission” she already had inside her. Shari and Carl also dig into fear, impostor syndrome, our inherited money stories, and why most of us wait far too long to trust what we know is true about our lives. This is the kind of conversation you don't just listen to—you feel it. You'll walk away with: – Why permission is often the bridge between intention and action – The emotional patterns that keep people stuck – How fear shows up at every major life moment – The story behind Carl's famous sketches – The one money belief Carl would give his 25-year-old self – Shari's own reflections on her younger self —and what she wishes she knew Shari closes the episode by sharing how Carl's influence shaped her practice, her philosophy, and the human-centered way she guides clients inside GWA Wealth.

Hebrews 6:3 opens a doorway into one of the most fascinating questions of faith: What does God permit—and why? In this episode, we talk about the surprising goodness in God's permission. From growth and maturity to daily choices and opportunities, God is constantly allowing things that shape who we become. This is a hopeful, practical look at how God's “permission” is often His way of saying, “Go ahead. Grow. Step in. Live.”

What if caring for yourself isn't selfish? It is the key to caring for the people you love most. In this episode, Karissa Dean joins us to discuss the importance of self-care, especially for those who feel like they need permission to prioritize themselves. She shares practical insights and heartfelt encouragement to help you reconnect with your own needs and well-being.About Karissa Dean (In her words)I got my start in personal development because, quite frankly, I was drowning. At one point, I was managing multiple properties, sending my kid off to kindergarten, teaching at Portland Public Schools, coaching a dance team, and constantly arguing with my husband about, well… everything. Burnt out, overwhelmed, and working mostly for free—I felt like I was holding up a crumbling life with one hand and a cracked smile with the other.That version of me was exhausted. But she was also the catalyst for change.Fast forward to now: I'm navigating a divorce with compassion and grace, learning how to go from full-time mom to part-time free, and adjusting to a life that I'm rebuilding on my own terms. I lead with love—always—and I've never been more clear about who I am and what I'm here to do.Learn more from Karissa at:  https://karissadean.com/welcome-homeAbout TheresaA wife and a mother to two children and grandmother, Theresa Alexander Inman is a Parenting Coach, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Infant Toddler Development Specialist, Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist.

Planning permission has been granted for a new 96-bed block at University Hospital Limerick — the second such development on the site. The decision by An Coimisiún Pleanála marks another step toward increasing hospital capacity in the Midwest, though campaigners say it's far from a long-term solution to chronic overcrowding at UHL. On Thursday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined live in studio by Angela Coll, Friends of Ennis Hospital and Deirdre Culligan, Friends of Ennis Hospital.

Building on part one, she explores the freedom that comes from living with intention, releasing rules, and embracing “enough” as the starting point for joy and possibility.Barbara is the author of Enough: Finding Peace in a World of Distractions, Hustle, and Expectations and the founder of Corluma, a consultancy guiding leaders and individuals toward heart-centered transformation.

A new piece of public artwork is expected to enhance the appeal of a North Clare village for both locals and tourists while celebrating one of the region's most iconic figures. Kilfenora Tidy Towns has secured planning permission to erect a mural of 17th century aristocrat Máire Rua O'Brien on the east-facing wall of the Burren Sonas Steiner Kindergarten which is located on the village's main street.

Women who truly have it all start with who, not why or how. We're taught to chase our why (purpose, reason, calling) and figure out how along the way. But if you don't know who you are, your why and figuring out how will only take you so far.And that's why in this week's episode of Permission Granted, I'm inviting you to look beyond titles, accolades, and curated images to the deeper truth. Your significance is not something you achieve, it is who you are.You will discover why identity comes before achievement and what makes the women who seem to have it all different.  If you've ever wondered whether the life you're building is truly yours, this episode will help you see where you're still striving and performing in your life, so that you can make powerful decisions and lead your life with more peace, power, and presence. If you loved this episode, Maison Lumière (House of Light), my 6-month mastermind where high-achieving women return to the lives they were created to lead with peace, power, and unapologetic clarity could be the next best step for you.

What if being called selfish was actually a sign that you're walking in obedience?In this episode of Permission Granted, we explore the deeper meaning behind being misunderstood as you build a life rooted in alignment, not performance. This podcast was inspired by a client experience that led me to ask the same question that I'm inviting you to consider: Are you building a life—or maintaining an image?When a woman chooses to walk in purpose over being palatable, she will be misjudged.

Benefit of boundarysetting.Generational differences when it comes to asking for help.Delegation and joy and building relationships.Importance of community to support us Quotable Moments: “The boundaries we apply internally to ourselves need to be respected and honored.”“The most frequently asked for help area is with someone's inbox and can be one of the most painfulplaces for people...it just grows and grows.” “When people give me a mess to fix, I'm thrilled.” “You can't be creative in overwhelm.”  “There's a kind way to delegate.” “Women make terrific negotiators because we come at things cooperatively and not competitively.”“Permission granted!” “There's so much space we can give ourselves, to love ourselves so we don't do it all ourselves.” Three Episode Takeaways: 1.   The challenge of asking for help or delegating don't want to be a burden or be vulnerable. The cost can be burn out and relationships because we are so busy – plus our perception can shift. 2.   Questioning the underlying misbeliefs and seeing the ways we drive ourselves can help us set boundaries and ask for help so we're clear about what we're asking for. 3.   Cultural trends indicate that younger generations are more prone to ask for help.  Episode Resources: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/connected-leadership/202206/3-reasons-why-its-so-hard-to-ask-for-help https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/this-isn't-what-i-expected/201108/asking-for-help-what-gets-in-the-way-and-why https://whitneygordon-mead.com/2020/04/14/asking-for-help-is-hard-heres-why-and-what-you-can-do-about-it/ "Women Don't Ask: Negotiation and the GenderDivide" by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever"Ask For It: How Women Can Use the Power ofNegotiation to Get What They Really Want" by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever https://www.pattyaubery.com/ Ep. 215.
