In this episode, Chris and Peaches break down men's integrity in the real world, how your private life becomes your public life, and why the mask you wear long enough starts to become your identity. Chris brings questions he'd normally ask men, Peaches answers from a woman's perspective, and they go straight into temptation, self respect, and the patterns that quietly wreck trust long before anything “big” happens.You can expect practical, direct relationship leadership, including the biggest integrity leaks men face right now, how attention seeking fuels porn, alcohol, work addiction, and avoidance, and what it looks like to put guardrails on your life before you need damage control. They also get into masculinity and emotional mastery, how to process anger, fear, and shame without dumping it on your family, how to tell the truth without using truth as a weapon, and how to lead your home when it's chaotic. If you want a concrete next step, they point you toward the 2BeBetter check in list and explain why consistent check ins are one of the fastest ways to rebuild connection and lead your marriage with real data instead of assumptions.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about the C-C-C, which stands for Catch, Challenge, Change. Do your negative thoughts secretly sabotage your health goals? When that inner voice says "you're too busy," "you have no willpower," or "you've failed again," is it telling the truth or just repeating old patterns that hold you back? Jenn introduces a practical mental tool to interrupt the defeating thought loops we all experience on our wellness journeys. But here's the real question: are you actually too tired for that workout, or is something else going on? Could the "evidence" of failure actually be hiding signs of progress you're refusing to see? Jenn breaks down how to catch these negative thoughts in action, challenge the beliefs behind them, and ultimately transform your inner dialogue. But the approach might surprise you. Is it really about being "1% better every day," or is there a more realistic way to build mental toughness without the pressure? Like what you're hearing?

February honesty hits different. The motivation buzz fades, real life crowds in, and the question sharpens: are we building lives that actually fit? We ditch quick fixes for sturdy rules—starting with our favorite: never miss twice. Miss a day, reset the next. It's the cure for all-or-nothing thinking and the backbone of habits that last.We dig into the quiet power of privacy (not secrecy), better boundaries, and fewer explanations—and how that creates space for a true “year of impact.” From kinder no's and protected relationships to midlife glow-ups that go deeper than skincare (though yes, chemical peels and “don't cut bangs” still make an appearance), this episode is about moving from performance to alignment.Books, therapy, and responsibility thread it all together. Fiction as soul care. Clarity over buzzwords. Owning harm, apologizing when possible, and living honestly when life won't wrap things up neatly.If you're craving sustainable habits, better boundaries, and a midlife reframe that actually works, this one's for you.

What if silence in your team meetings isn't just about shyness or lack of ideas, but something everyone's been taught—often unconsciously—to protect themselves or others? In this episode, I sit down with Elaine Lin Hering, a top facilitator, global educator, and author of “Unlearning Silence,” to dig into the roots of silence and how leaders can transform it into true engagement.As the conversation kicks off, we tackle a fundamental leadership dilemma: despite constant encouragement to “speak up,” people often hold back. Why? Elaine reveals it's not just about courage or confidence. Silence is a learned survival strategy, which is often shaped by culture, hierarchy, and even unconscious organizational habits. Her own story, growing up as the youngest daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, shows how silence sneaks in early and sticks.Throughout the episode, we explore questions relating to real-world challenges such as how can you create a safe space for candor when your “resting face” or demeanour sets the wrong tone? Or, why do team members only give feedback after a decision is finalized. Elaine offers evidence-informed and practical answers to these situations.The takeaway is clear: Strong leadership means recognizing that silence is not always golden—and that by unlearning it, we unlock deeper connection, better decisions, and a future not bound by the past. What You'll Learn- Silence is learned… and it's often unintentional.- Unlearning silence is an ongoing process.- Explicit clarity is critical for leaders.- How to reframe your view of your voice.- The mode and medium of communication matter.- What is obvious to you may be the insight someone else is looking for.Podcast Timestamps(00:03) - The Origins of Unlearning Silence(05:46) - The Process of Unlearning Silence(09:10) - Agency and the Value of Voice(15:59) - The RACI Framework(19:16) - How Communication Mode and Process Influence Voice(24:10) - Surfacing Feedback and Pre-Empting Silence(32:08) - Imposter Syndrome or Imposter Treatment?(41:47) - When Is Silence Golden?(46:52) - Explicitly Creating Psychological SafetyKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Self-Awareness, Feedback, Personal Growth, Leading with Intention, Unlearning silence, Employee Voice, Power Dynamics, Decision-Making Frameworks, RACI Model, Team Communication, Self-Silencing, Imposter Syndrome, Psychological Safety, Personal Growth, CEO Success

What if the story we've been telling artists is wrong? What if you don't actually have to choose between financial stability and the thing you love most?In this episode, I sit down with actor turned entrepreneur Sarah Kleist to talk about the toxic myth of the “starving artist” and why performers are uniquely equipped to build creative businesses that support their art instead of competing with it.Sarah is a musical theater performer living in New York City who also runs a thriving web design and branding business for creatives. She shares how she built financial stability without walking away from her artistic identity and why being multi-passionate is not a weakness, but a strategic advantage.We talk about:-Why the “if you can do anything else, do that instead” advice is harmful-The powerful skills actors and performers already have that businesses are desperate for-How to rewrite your money story as a creative-Why financial stability can make you a better artist, not a worse one-Practical ways to start thinking about what your own creative business could beIf you've ever felt like you were failing because you want both meaning and money, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.You don't have to choose. You can build a life that holds both.

What you'll learn in this episode:● How to handle stress before it happens● Why caring proactively strengthens trust and loyalty● The difference between excuses and habits● How to lead people who resist change● The secret to consistency when motivation fades● Why respecting challenges doesn't mean giving them power● How to build a “pre-decision compass” for when life gets bumpy

After Hoda departed TODAY in January 2025, Jenna Bush Hager spent a year sitting side by side with a rotating group of friends, but as it turns out, her permanent partner was someone who had been part of the TODAY family all along: Sheinelle Jones. On the heels of the launch of TODAY with Jenna and Sheinelle, Hoda sat down with Jenna and Sheinelle for a SiriusXM Front Row Conversation at SiriusXM's New York City studios to talk about their official beginning as co-hosts, the lessons Sheinelle has learned in the wake of losing her husband, Uche, and how grief and joy can exist side by side. Plus, what having Sheinelle by her side means for Jenna, and reflections on her path to this moment. (Originally broadcast on SiriusXM TODAY Show Radio.) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Silence is one of the most misunderstood skills in leadership, communication, and life. Many people rush to fill quiet moments with explanations, reactions, or noise because silence forces awareness. It removes the ability to perform, defend, or control how others perceive us. This episode explores why silence feels so uncomfortable and why that discomfort is often a signal that something important is happening internally.The conversation breaks down how silence functions as a power move in high-pressure moments, not because it dominates a room, but because it regulates the nervous system. Troy shares how learning to pause instead of react creates clarity, steadiness, and intentional communication. The episode explores how silence can either trigger fear and old emotional patterns or become a stabilizing force, allowing you to respond with precision instead of impulse.Personal stories are woven throughout, including experiences with conflict, rejection, grief, and preparing for defining moments like public speaking and delivering a TEDx talk. These moments highlight how silence carries different emotional weight depending on context, and how the body often reacts to pressure as if every moment carries the same level of threat. The episode connects this to fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, and explains how silence can help interrupt those patterns before they escalate.The episode also explores how silence builds trust and presence in professional settings. Speaking less, pausing longer, and choosing restraint often signal confidence and credibility more than volume or speed. Listeners will hear how silence can shift power dynamics in business, leadership, and relationships, while also demanding emotional discipline, self-control, and a willingness to sit with discomfort.Ultimately, this episode is about mastering silence as a form of self-leadership. It is not about withholding communication or avoiding hard moments. It is about knowing when silence serves you, when it sharpens your message, and when it allows you to own a situation without forcing it. Silence works, but it comes with a cost, and this episode challenges listeners to decide whether they are willing to develop the discipline required to use it well.

You know the pattern is there. You've seen it loop enough times to wonder if the universe is taking notes. If you've ever felt like certain doors refuse to open, or open too easily at exactly the wrong moment...this conversation reveals what's been quietly influencing your choices before you even made them.Episode Overview Astrologer and intuitive guide Gabrielle Celeste joins Will and Karen to explore how consciousness, astrology, and subconscious patterns shape the decisions we think we're making freely. This isn't about horoscopes or vague predictions. It's about understanding why specific themes keep surfacing in your relationships, career, and timing, and what your birth chart reveals about the patterns you're unconsciously running.Gabrielle shares her journey from corporate fall guy to full-time astrologer, explains how your chart functions as a cosmic roadmap (not a prison sentence), and breaks down the difference between sun, moon, and rising signs in terms anyone can grasp.She also delivers a sobering forecast for 2026, including a February week that demands your attention.Questions This Episode AnswersIs your birth chart a cosmic blueprint or a predetermined sentence? Gabrielle explains what your natal chart actually captures, and whether you're stuck with what it reveals.Why does knowing you're a Gemini (or any sun sign) tell you almost nothing about yourself? Discover which of the "big three" astrological placements reveals the truest expression of your soul, and why most people are reading astrology backwards.How do professional astrologers actually see what's coming? Gabrielle reveals how she blends chart readings with intuition, numerology, and shamanic training, and shares examples of eerily specific predictions that came true years later.What separates ethical spiritual practitioners from the grifters? Hear Gabrielle's unfiltered take on what's required before you're qualified to hold space for others...and why bypassing your own shadow work harms the people you claim to serve.What astrological events in 2026 should actually be on your radar? Gabrielle breaks down the most significant transits of the year, including a cosmically loaded week in February and why October/November might echo unfinished business from 2018.How can you tell when you're resisting alignment versus actually lacking it? Gabrielle offers a surprisingly simple divination tool you already have...no chart required.Why This Conversation Is Different Gabrielle doesn't sell certainty or comfort. She acknowledges the paradox of free will versus cosmic influence without pretending to have all the answers. She's transparent about what astrology can't predict (and what she refuses to touch, like exact death dates). She calls out grifters in the spiritual space who chase profit over purpose. And she frames astrology not as mystical fortune-telling, but as a practical lens for understanding subconscious blocks, timing friction, and recurring life patterns; concepts skeptics can respect even if they don't "believe."This episode avoids both spiritual bypassing and cynical dismissiveness. It's grounded, curious, and refreshingly honest about the limits of any single system.For the Skeptic Still Reading You don't have to believe in astrology for patterns to exist in your life. You don't have to accept fate to recognize that certain themes keep surfacing. Gabrielle's work, whether you interpret it as cosmic influence or psychological archetype, offers a framework for seeing what you've been unconsciously repeating. If nothing else, it's a mirror. And mirrors don't lie, even when the reflection makes you uncomfortable.Curiosity isn't gullibility. Exploring astrology doesn't mean abandoning critical thinking. It means asking: What if there's a structure I haven't noticed yet?Listen If You Want ToUnderstand why astrology goes far deeper than daily horoscopesLearn what your rising sign, moon sign, and houses actually meanHear how one woman went from corporate scandal to professional astrologerGet a heads-up on 2026's most intense astrological windowsExplore the intersection of intuition, shadow work, and consciousnessQuestion whether free will and cosmic blueprints can coexistTopics: spiritual awakening, astrology, consciousness, intuition, natal chart, shadow work, metaphysics, soul purpose, modern spirituality, Saturn return, subconscious patterns Speical Offer:Use the code "20AGUA" for 20% off any of the services listed on her website.Connect with Gabrielle CelesteWebsite: https://www.aguaastrology.comSpiritual Sisters Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/76R1e2m64NVuAzfp9cBuOXInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aguaastrologyListener Survey:Help shape the future of the Skeptic Metaphysicians.

What does it really mean to thrive, especially when success still doesn't feel satisfying? Kamin Samuel, PhD, brings a grounded, deeply human perspective to thriving—one rooted in self-leadership, self-trust, and releasing the quiet belief that you're “not enough.” You'll hear why so many capable leaders, particularly women, undervalue their experience and resilience, and how that habit quietly drains confidence, ambition, and joy. You'll also learn how language reveals hidden beliefs, how regulating your nervous system helps unfamiliar situations feel safer, and why small, intentional steps create lasting momentum. This episode invites you to redefine thriving—not as striving or proving—but as living from wholeness, creativity, and the freedom to pursue what truly fulfills you. Kamin is a trailblazing entrepreneur, international rapid transformational coach, and inspirational filmmaker. Her mission is to uplift, inspire, and empower people everywhere, proving that it's never too late to thrive. As the US Navy's first African American woman to serve as a helicopter pilot, Kamin served her country for nine years before transitioning into corporate America, where she rose to become the Vice President of Global Website Operations at a billion-dollar corporation.  Kamin is the co-author with Steve Chandler of the book, Wealth Creation for Coaches, which is an excellent read for anyone who wants to grow their business. She's also the creator of the documentary film, Courage to Thrive. It tells a universal story of underserved and underestimated women and veterans.  You'll discover: How the belief “I'm not enough” quietly limits growthWhy language reveals more about beliefs than you realizeSimple ways to normalize fear in unfamiliar situationsHow small steps build momentum and confidenceA more fulfilling definition of success and wealthKamin's ResourcesWebsitesKamin Samuel Media  https://kaminsamuelmedia.com/Kamin Samuel  https://kaminsamuel.com/Courage to Thrive Documentary  https://couragetothrivedoc.com/BookWealth Creation for Coacheshttps://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Creation-Coaches-Workbook-Prosperous-ebook/dp/B0BX4LR659Check out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedInFollow Meredith on TwitterDownload the free ebook Listen Like a Pro

Inside, Albiona explores:→ Why it's never the strangers we're afraid of—it's the people we know and love→ The gremlins that told her she was "too old" for TikTok and "too much" for sharing her truth (and what happened when she did it anyway)→ Why we'll always choose a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven—and how to establish safety from within instead→ How resistance and fear are actually pointing you toward your next breakthrough→ The questions to ask yourself right now: Where am I hiding? Where am I playing small?

Author Daniel Coyle talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts on the art of flourishing: why it's a natural phenomenon rather than mechanical; how taking life's "yellow doors"--or detours from a straight, expected path--is often the key to a flourishing life; and why true flourishing can only occur in the context of relationships. They also discuss how the basic principles of flourishing have empowered people--from men trapped in a Chilean mine to senior citizens reliving their youth--to achieve remarkable things. Finally, they offer an exercise you can do for recognizing the ways that others have helped us to thrive.

In this 2 Be Better episode, Chris and the crew get real about where online content is headed, the rise of AI generated videos flooding YouTube, and why authenticity is about to become the premium. They talk through what creators are seeing right now, how attention is shifting, what the next wave could look like, and why the people who stay honest, consistent, and useful are going to win long term.Then it gets personal and practical when a listener email triggers a blunt relationship deep dive into postpartum stress, resentment that never got resolved, body image struggles, and the need for reassurance that often goes unspoken. They unpack how uneven effort at home, unspoken expectations, and “weaponized incompetence” can quietly kill intimacy over time, leading to defensiveness, contempt, a dead bedroom, and emotional distance. You'll leave with clear language for what's really happening, what to stop doing, and what to start doing if you want to rebuild trust, teamwork, and desire.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Send us a textSuccess doesn't always look the way we expect — and sometimes the hardest part of growth is realizing it's time to redefine it.In this episode of Starter Girlz, Jennifer Loehding sits down with Mark Bruce and Duane Gibbs, co-founders of Huddle for Success, for a powerful, honest conversation about navigating life's plateaus, reinventing yourself, and making intentional choices that align with who you are now — not who you used to be.Drawing from their backgrounds in sports, entrepreneurship, investing, and coaching, Duane and Mark share how the concept of the huddle became a metaphor for success: a moment to pause, regroup, reflect, and move forward with clarity. This episode isn't about chasing more — it's about choosing better.Together, they explore the lessons learned through wins, missteps, mentorship, and life experience — and what it really means to build success around freedom, family, faith, and fulfillment. They also highlight their commitment to providing scholarships to help individuals seeking meaningful changes in their lives.⭐ What You'll Hear in This Episode✅ Why success plateaus often signal growth — not failure✅ How shared experiences and relationships spark meaningful ventures✅ Lessons from sports, teamwork, and the power of the “huddle”✅ Why mentorship and coaching matter at every stage of life✅ The mindset shifts required to reinvent yourself at any age✅ Real stories from entrepreneurship and investment mistakes✅ The difference between achievement, gratitude, and fulfillment✅ How to define success on your own terms✅ Why freedom, family, and autonomy are non-negotiables✅ Questions that help clarify what you truly want next

Transformation isn't a straight line — it's a stretch of uncertainty between letting go of who you were and stepping into who you're becoming.In this episode of Your Courageous Life, Kate explores how to navigate that uncomfortable in-between space — the “messy middle” where old patterns are falling away and new ones haven't fully formed. You'll learn why this stage feels so disorienting, how to stop rushing through it, and how to recognize small signs of growth even when it feels like nothing's changing.If you've been questioning yourself or feeling like you're stuck between chapters, this episode will remind you that confusion isn't failure — it's the bridge to becoming.

What if the thing we're most afraid of isn't the fear of dying, but the quiet resistance to fully living? In this episode of Raising Wild Hearts, I sit down with Alan Lazaros to explore how to build integrity, what it really means to live from the inside out, and how defining success differently can change everything.Alan is the CEO and host of Next Level University, a global top-100 show listened to in more than 180 countries. After surviving a near-fatal car accident at 26 — and losing his father to a car accident when he was just two years old — Alan was forced to confront a question many of us avoid: If this were the end, would I be proud of how I lived? That moment became the catalyst for a complete life rebuild — not just professionally, but internally.In this honest and deeply human conversation, we talk about the difference between reputation and character, why success doesn't actually make life easier, and how integrity is formed in the smallest, quietest moments — the ones no one sees or applauds. We explore why personal responsibility is essential for growth, how habits compound into identity over time, and why living fully often feels uncomfortable before it feels free.This episode isn't a quick fix—it will push your edges so you can grow into the best version of you. In this episode, we explore:Whether people are more afraid of, dying or truly livingWhat it really means to build integrity in everyday lifeThe three areas of your life you need to examine ASAP Why success without self-worth eventually collapsesHow small, unseen choices shape who we becomeWhy personal responsibility is the foundation of real growthHow redefining success can create a life that feels aligned from the inside outIf you've ever felt successful on paper but disconnected in your heart…If you're questioning what you're building — and why…Or if you're craving a deeper, truer way to live…This conversation is for you.Support The Mission:

In this episode, Chris and Peaches get real about conflict and repair in marriage, what to do after a blow up, and why a “good man” doesn't just apologize, he changes. You'll hear practical repair language rooted in accountability, reassurance, and staying present, plus why physical connection can communicate safety after conflict when words aren't landing. They also touch the fear response that can show up after a fight, including how safety, closeness, and reassurance can matter even more when anxiety and abandonment fears are in the mix. They break down the line between a healthy cooldown and stonewalling, including the idea that your nervous system needs time to settle, but dragging it out turns into avoidance and resentment. Then the conversation shifts into “provision beyond money,” where they challenge men to stop outsourcing emotional and spiritual leadership, and explain how a man's emotional regulation shapes the whole home, intimacy, and the example your kids absorb. If you want marriage advice that's blunt, practical, and built for real life, this one will hit.Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience.

In this solo episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I unpack the concept of empathy and leadership. Although considerable research has shown the multiple benefits of empathetic leadership, it may have become a victim of its own success. As it has become increasingly integrated into leadership conversations, there are widespread misunderstandings about what it is and what it is not.While empathy is often viewed as ‘all about feeling,' there is more to the concept. I'll explore its multidimensionality and rather than being one sole element, the secret sauce is how all of this comes together. When only one aspect of empathy is tapped, it's an incomplete picture.What You'll Learn- The science behind the power of empathy in leadership.- The most common way people use to define empathy.- Why affective (e.g., emotional) empathy is only one aspect of high empathy leadership.- The crucial difference between empathic joining and empathic concern.- The power of perspective-taking.- How inaction can be at the heart of leadership excellence.KEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Empathy, Emotional Intelligence, Leadership Excellence, Strategic Thinking, Personal Growth, Communication, 360-Feedback, Affective Empathy, Cognitive Empathy, Empathic Concern, Empathic Joining, Leading with Intention, Leading with the Heart and Mind, The Power of Thoughtful Inaction, CEO Success

I tried to record a normal episode today. I couldn't. I sat down to talk about creativity like I usually do, and instead I found myself overwhelmed, heartbroken, and honestly… empty. In this episode, I share what it feels like to be a creative person living in America right now when the news feels unbearable, when your emotions are so full they leave you feeling blank, and when you're wondering:What is even worth creating at a time like this?How are we supposed to go about daily life?This is a raw, unscripted reflection on creative paralysis, collective grief, human rights, and the cruelty happening around us, including the actions of ICE and the fear, harm, and devastation our communities are experiencing.I talk about:-Small ways to stay creative and human when you feel helpless-Creative burnout from current events and how to move through it -How to alchemize pain into purpose-The role of artists, makers, and storytellers during hard times-Why this moment is not a political issue, but rather, a human rights issueIf you've been feeling distracted, heavy, unable to focus, or wondering how to keep making things when your heart is breaking, this episode is for you. I love you. I'm with you.

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.
