Heather's solo this week, getting ahead of Breast Cancer Awareness Month before the pink shows up everywhere. This one's less a tidy takeaway and more her thinking out loud — the complicated feelings that come with October, not quite fitting the story the marketing tells, feeling overlooked as a longtime survivor because her experience doesn't look "sick" or "young" anymore, and the strange kind of ageism that comes with living this long. She sits with something a lot of people carry quietly: the pressure to be grateful and invisible at the same time, and whether your worth is tied to what you achieve or just to being here. No neat answers, just an honest place to start.Heather also introduces a new project she's building with her friend Melissa: There's No Cancer In This Book Club, a virtual book club for readers affected by cancer who just want a good book without a cancer storyline. Details on tiers, pricing, and how to join are in the episode.Heather was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at 26 and has now been living with the disease for more than 25 years. Through this podcast she shares perspective, lived experience, and conversations that help people navigate life with metastatic cancer.Join the There's No Cancer In This Book Club:https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheresNoCancerInThisBookClubDigital Guideshttps://shop.heatherjose.com/all-guides/Support the PodcastIf this episode has been helpful, you can support the podcast here:https://ko-fi.com/heatherjoseSensational Survivor SeriesIf you have been living with metastatic breast cancer for 10 years or more and would like to share your story on the podcast, you can apply here:https://forms.gle/6H9K7NXMAeN1QEv87Listener QuestionsHave a question you'd like answered in a future episode?

What happens when the job everyone assumes is becoming obsolete is actually where some of the most human work is happening?Middle managers live between pressure and people. They translate expectations from above, absorb problems before senior leaders ever see them, and help teams move through conflict, uncertainty, and burnout. Much of that work is invisible until it stops happening.Amy and Doug Barna explore what leadership looks like as AI becomes increasingly capable of handling coordination, reporting, and other technical tasks that once defined management. Doug argues that this shift does not make human leadership less important. It exposes the part of leadership technology cannot simply automate: understanding what motivates a particular person, noticing emotion, listening closely, building trust, and staying present when a conversation becomes uncomfortable.The discussion also reframes the skills we often call “soft.” Active listening, social awareness, empathy, and relationship management are not decorative additions to leadership. They are the capacities that allow someone to lead people rather than simply manage information.As technology becomes better at organizing the work, the question becomes more human, not less. Who can still read the room, recognize the person inside the performance, and help people stay connected when pressure pulls them apart?Moments That Create Momentum:The Invisible Work Between the Layers – Explore why middle managers often carry the human side of leadership that others do not see.When AI Removes the Administrative Work – Discover why empathy, trust, and relationship skills may matter even more as technology takes on more technical tasks.People Tell You What Motivates Them – Learn how listening closely to concerns and frustrations can reveal what someone actually needs from their leader.Presence Changes Difficult Conversations – Understand how shifting attention away from your own discomfort can help create more trust and connection.The Skills We Carry Beyond Work – See how stronger listening, awareness, and compassion can influence not only teams, but relationships and communities too.About the Guest:Doug Barna is a Team Building and Leadership Coach with Acclaimed Summit, LLC. With over 20 years of experience as a project leader and people manager, Doug has dedicated over a decade to studying psychology and organizational behavior, honing the soft skills that are crucial for effective leadership. Doug's not just another coach; he's the compassionate mentor he wished he had so many years ago, bridging the gap between a scientific mind and an empathetic approach. In this quest for clarity and connection, Doug developed strategies that cut through superficial tactics and dive into the foundational elements that work.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dougbarna/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dougbarnaAbout Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

Audley Stephenson has interviewed over 3,000 people, but the story he told me this week was his own. When the pandemic shut down professional basketball, it also took away his job as commissioner of a basketball league, and with it, the identity he had built his whole life around. He told me he did not even realize he was struggling until he said one sentence out loud to a friend: "ever since I lost basketball." That was the moment everything clicked.What came next was audacity, a thread Audley says runs through every major turning point in his life. From talking his way into NBA locker rooms with nothing but a friend and a podcast, to switching team colors to coach his own daughter, to building a podcast with over 650 episodes, he keeps choosing to try things before he feels ready.I still think often about one story from this conversation. A guest once left his podcast interview mid conversation to bring back his young son, so he could tell him, in real time, that outlasting adversity is the reason that child exists at all. Audley still gets emotional telling it. (I did too when he shared it.)We also talked about his upcoming book, Living Your Best Audacious Life Ever, and the myths he wants to clear up about what audacity really means.A few takeaways from this episode:Audacity does not require big, dramatic gestures. Speaking up in a meeting or setting a boundary counts too.The relationships you build with genuine curiosity often open the doors that matter most.Naming what you are feeling out loud can be the first step toward understanding it.Waiting for the perfect moment can cost more than acting imperfectly and early.You can reach Audley, and check out his upcoming book here: https://www.bestaudaciouslife.com/In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

What if, instead of trying to avoid old age, we prepared ourselves to meet it?Just before turning 50, I made a conscious decision: I wanted to prepare for getting old. Not by trying to stay young, but by changing the way I saw ageing—and perhaps, eventually, the way I would live it.I began looking for another image of old age. Beyond fear, decline and all the adjectives we attach to the word old, I discovered another landscape: MysteryWisdomFreedom HumourAcceptancePlayfulnessand a movement closer to the essence of who we are.This episode is the beginning of an unfolding series of reflections on ageing. Not a manual. Not a promise that preparation will determine how we age.Simply an invitation to look toward that gate rather than away from it.You can also find Souloist – Life Between the Notes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FaceBook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the podcastIf you enjoy Souloist and would like to support the podcast, please subscribe, share it with friends, leave a comment, and add your stars.If you'd like to support Souloist in another way, you're warmly invited to make a donation through PayPal:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/PayPal-Souloist⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you for listening, for sharing, for being here, and for your generosity. ❤️

There is a particular kind of dread that shows up around a first performance review, a first networking event, a first job where nobody hands you a manual. For introverted professional women who spent years being praised for grades and credentials, the workplace often demands a different currency entirely — people skills, self-advocacy, the ability to connect without performing extroversion. Nobody taught this. It was never on the syllabus.That is the gap Rob Heller has spent two decades trying to close. After a 40-year business career and selling his insurance firm for eight figures to a publicly held company, Heller founded the Boost Program — a curriculum built around what he calls the three legs of the stool: people skills, character, and a healthy mindset. In this conversation, Heller and Serena Low talk about why 85 percent of what employers say they want is soft skills nobody is systematically teaching, why phone and social media use functions like a genuine addiction for the 14-24 age group, and why introverts do not need to become extroverts to master connection — they simply need the skills nobody gave them the language for.Questions AnsweredWhy do young people leave school without the people skills employers say matter most?What are the three "legs of the stool" in Rob Heller's Boost Program?Is phone and social media use actually an addiction, and how does the Boost Program address it?Can introverts build strong people skills without becoming extroverts?Why did Rob Heller create Boost after selling his insurance company for eight figures?What role do parents play in reinforcing the skills their teens learn in a program like Boost?What is a growth mindset and why does it matter for connection and resilience?How does the attention economy affect teens' ability to build real relationships?Key TakeawaysThe gap between "employable" and "prepared" is wider than most parents realize. Heller names it directly: employers report that 85 percent of what they are hiring for is soft skills, yet schools spend nowhere close to that proportion of time teaching them. The dissonance between what a transcript proves and what a workplace actually requires is the quiet crisis sitting underneath a lot of early-career anxiety.Naming an addiction as an addiction, without shame, changes how people respond to it. Heller does not lecture teens about willpower. He walks them through how deliberately phones and algorithms are engineered to keep them hooked, and he includes himself in that struggle rather than standing above it — a move that turns a shame-based topic into a shared, workable problem.Social media's distortion is not a discipline problem — it is a highlight-reel problem. Heller's framing that social feeds show only the equivalent of a basketball player's best dunks, never the misses, gives language to something many quiet achievers already feel: the comparison trap is not a personal failing, it is a design flaw in what gets shown.Introversion is not the obstacle to connection — it is a different route to it. Heller is explicit that his students do not need to become the loudest person in the room. Curiosity about the other person, active listening, and small consistent behaviors build connection just as effectively, without requiring anyone to perform a personality that is not theirs.A growth mindset reframes struggle from evidence of inadequacy into evidence of growth. For the perfectionist, quiet achiever who assumes discomfort means something has gone wrong, Heller's reminder that discomfort is a normal, necessary part of developing any skill offers a genuinely different relationship to struggle.Chapters00:00 — Introducing Rob Heller: entrepreneur, youth development innovator, founder of the Boost Program00:56 — From an eight-figure insurance exit to noticing the skills gap at home04:32 — Why Boost went on hold for fifteen years, and what brought it back during the pandemic06:03 — The three legs of the stool: people skills, character, and a healthy mindset08:15 — Why Boost focuses on ages 14 to 24, and the neuroscience behind that window09:59 — "The Missing Course": why schools teach math and science but not the skills that determine a life11:41 — Soft skills aren't soft: why leadership, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence are actually hard15:04 — You don't have to be an extrovert: introverts, effectiveness, and connection15:36 — Naming the phone and social media addiction without shame20:01 — How Boost spreads: schools, workforce development, and building a peer community for organizations22:10 — What engagement looks like when a program actually lands with teens23:32 — Parents as the head coach, Boost as the assistant coach25:39 — Rob's message to introverted listeners: you don't have to change who you are to build these skills27:05 — Wired to connect: why relationships, not achievement, predict a good life27:35 — Growth mindset as the third pillar of a healthy mindAbout the GuestRob Heller is an entrepreneur, youth development innovator, and founder of the Boost Program, a curriculum built to teach teens and young adults the people skills, character development, and mental health tools that traditional education often leaves out. After a 40-year business career, including selling his insurance firm for eight figures to a publicly held company, Heller returned to the program he first started twenty years earlier as a parent trying to give his own children a skill set no school course offered. He is the author of The Missing Course for Today's Youth: 26 Skills That Matter — How The Boost Program Fills The Gap.https://boostprogram.com/Follow the PodcastIf this conversation resonated, leave a review to help other introverts find The Quiet Warrior Podcast.Work with SerenaAre you at a career crossroads? Before deciding if your next career move is stay/go, take the SEEN Career Clarity Diagnostic. 4 questions to help you reflect on where your career holds up in relation to Safety - Energy - Ethos - Need: the four pillars of a sustainable career for introverts.

What motivates someone to stop drinking might not be what keeps them going?In episode 257 of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick explores how sober motivation needs to change and evolve alongside the person making the change.Pain may create the initial breaking point. But what happens when the hangovers, anxiety and arguments begin to fade? When life starts feeling better, relying only on memories of how bad drinking felt may no longer be enough.Patrick introduces three stages of sober motivation:The Breaking Point: becoming honest about what alcohol is costing.What's Possible: recognising the progress, self-trust and opportunities being created without alcohol.The Pull: becoming emotionally connected to a future that matters more than drinking.He also shares why a reason such as health, family or work can sound important without feeling truly compelling, and how going deeper can turn a sensible reason into one that creates lasting change.This episode is for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol, struggling to stay motivated in sobriety or wondering what comes after they stop drinking.Because removing alcohol is not the final destination. It creates the capacity to build something more.Pain might give someone a reason to stop. Progress gives them a reason to continue. Purpose gives them a future they refuse to trade for alcohol.Cool things covered in this episode:Why sober motivation naturally changes over timeHow pain can provide the motivation to stop drinkingWhy noticing progress helps rebuild self-trustWhat to do when motivation to stay alcohol-free begins to fadeHow to create an emotionally compelling reason for sobrietyWhy purpose does not need to look impressive to anyone elseHow to build a life in which alcohol becomes obsolete⬇️ Resources ⬇️Download ⁠⁠The 5pm Booze Free Habit Builder⁠⁠

Kristen Nolan says the word pitch should not exist in podcast guesting. That one belief shapes everything else she teaches.As a Podcast Guest Strategist at Interview Valet, Kristen helps business leaders and executives step onto other people's podcasts the right way. She reframes it entirely, treating every guest appearance as an introduction and the beginning of a relationship rather than a sales pitch.In this conversation, we get into what that actually looks like in practice, from the first conversation with a host to the months after an episode goes live.One idea that was interesting is what Kristen calls borrowed trust. When a host invites you onto their show, you are stepping into a relationship they have already built with their audience. You do not have to prove yourself from scratch. You just have to honor the trust that has already been extended to you. Kristen also shared her own metaphor for guesting; being invited into someone's home, which shifts the entire experience away from performance and toward genuine hospitality.We also talked about why so many guests' default to reciting their resume when a host asks them to introduce themselves, and why that approach usually falls flat. Kristen coaches her clients to lead with the problem they solve for the audience instead, which turns a guest appearance into something the listener actually wants to keep hearing.Key TakeawaysBorrowed trust means you do not need to earn your audience from zero. The host already vetted you. Your job is to nurture what they extended.The best guest appearances feel like two people talking in a coffee shop, not a rehearsed pitch.What you do after the interview, the follow-up, the promotion, the small gestures, often matters more than the interview itself.Choosing the right podcast is about brand alignment first, reach second.Showing up with curiosity about the host's audience changes the entire tone of a conversation.Connect with Kristen NolanInterview Valet: interviewvalet.comIn appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Making good money doesn't automatically mean you're building wealth. In this Ask Loral session, Loral Langemeier explores business wealth building strategies with two entrepreneurs who are already earning but need a better plan for what happens next.Dan owns a successful car repair business that expanded into vehicle sales and rentals but accumulated expensive hard-money debt along the way. Loral discusses business wealth building through better financing, including local asset-focused banks, alternative lending, refinancing, and vendor financing that could help strengthen the business.Loral also advises Christy, a New York real estate agent who wants to catch up on building wealth. Rather than continually chasing individual transactions, Loral suggests working with repeat investors, learning creative financing, finding off-market opportunities, and potentially exchanging commissions for ownership in deals. Ultimately, business wealth building is about moving beyond earning income and intentionally creating better financial structures, assets, relationships, and ownership opportunities.Loral's TakeawaysDan's Car Repair Business Expansion and Loan Inquiry (00:00)Aaron's Success with Local Bank Financing (00:45)Christy's Real Estate Agent Business and Wealth Building (02:02)Strategies for Real Estate Agents to Build Wealth (03:18)Big Table Bonus and Real Estate Tours (04:12)Meet Loral Langemeier:Loral Langemeier is a money expert, sought-after speaker, entrepreneurial thought leader, and best-selling author of five books.Her goal: to change the conversations people have about money worldwide and empower people to become millionaires.The CEO and Founder of Live Out Loud, Inc. – a multinational organization — Loral relentlessly and candidly shares her best advice without hesitation or apology.

It is easy to approach divorce with one goal in mind: just get through it and let everything else go for the time being. Deal with the legal issues, make the financial decisions, manage the conflict, and worry about rebuilding your life once everything is finally over.But what if you didn't have to wait, and it actually serves you to start working on the next chapter of your life now?In this episode, Mardi Winder talks with love and relationship coach Lori Bryant Woolridge and psychologist and wellness coach Lauren Yellen Weinberg, creators of Your FAB Divorce, about approaching divorce as both an ending and an opportunity to begin discovering who you want to become.Lori and Lauren share why they believe emotional work belongs alongside the practical realities of divorce, particularly for women leaving long marriages who may have spent decades defining themselves through their roles as wives, mothers, partners, and caregivers. Rather than simply surviving the process, they encourage women to begin developing greater self-trust, understanding their emotions, and creating a vision for what they want their lives to look like on the other side.Questions We ConsiderQ: Why isn't focusing only on the legal and financial side of divorce enough?A: Those decisions certainly need attention, but Lori and Lauren believe ignoring the emotional side can leave you reaching the end of the divorce without knowing what comes next. Mardi describes this as the “post-divorce void,” when the battle is finally over but the sense of purpose, direction, and identity may not automatically return.Q: What happens when you've spent decades defining yourself through other people?A: Divorce can expose just how much of your identity has been connected to being a spouse, parent, caregiver, or part of a couple. Lori and Lauren encourage women to use the transition to explore who they are outside those roles and what they want for themselves going forward.Q: How can you keep fear and anger from driving the divorce?A: Lori shares the FAB approach: Focus on the present and what matters to you, Accept the realities you cannot control, and remain Bendable when circumstances change. The goal is to stay committed to your larger vision while remaining flexible about how you get there.Q: Why is self-trust so important during a major transition?A: Lauren explains that uncertainty becomes easier to navigate when you trust yourself to make decisions, adapt when circumstances change, and figure things out as you move forward. That self-trust can become part of the foundation for whatever comes next.Q: What if divorce could be more than something you simply survive?A: Lori and Lauren invite women to consider divorce as a transition that can also create space for growth, greater self-awareness, and a new understanding of who they want to become. Their message isn't about pretending divorce is easy. It is about recognizing that the process does not have to put the rest of your life on hold.About the Guests:Lori Bryant Woolridge, CPC, CSC, PCC.

Heather and Larry are back after a summer break, and they're kicking off the new season with a little reflection. After 275 episodes, Heather opens up about why the podcast started in the first place — those late-night questions from friends, family, and strangers about what she's actually done to live with metastatic breast cancer for over 27 years — and how it grew from there. She talks honestly about not having a single formula, about ditching food guilt while still trying to take care of her body, and about the mindset work she believes matters more than anything else in this fight.Looking ahead, Heather shares what's coming this fall: an episode with Dr. Teplinsky around the release of her book Beyond the Pink, and the launch of "There's No Cancer In This Book Club" — a project with her friend Melissa built around vetted, cancer-line-free reads for anyone who just wants a good book without the ambush. She's also opening the floor for listener questions and topics for future episodes.Heather was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at 26 and has now been living with the disease for more than 25 years. Through this podcast she shares perspective, lived experience, and conversations that help people navigate life with metastatic cancer.Sensational Survivor SeriesIf you have been living with metastatic breast cancer for 10 years or more and would like to share your story on the podcast, you can apply here:https://forms.gle/6H9K7NXMAeN1QEv87Digital Guideshttps://shop.heatherjose.com/all-guides/Support the PodcastIf this podcast has been helpful to you, consider supporting it with a donation on Ko-fi.

For a long time, video games and brain health existed in completely separate conversations. Games were entertainment — a guilty pleasure at best, a concern at worst. That is changing. And the science behind that change is more compelling than most people realize.In this episode Dr. Krystal Culler and co-host Dr. Jonathan Artz, MD sit down with Dr. Julia Scott, Ph.D. — neuroscientist, researcher, and co-founder of Gambit Labs — to explore video games and wearable sensors as genuine tools for brain health. Not as a replacement for the fundamentals, but as a powerful and increasingly accessible addition to our brain care toolkit — one that can reveal things about our brains we have never been able to see before.What You'll Learn in This Episode

What happens when taking care of someone else slowly requires you to disappear from your own life?Family caregiving rarely arrives according to plan. A diagnosis changes. A parent declines. A spouse becomes dependent. Roles reverse, schedules collapse, and someone quietly becomes responsible for another human being twenty-four hours a day.Amy and Monica Vest Wheeler explore the realities behind caregiver burnout, unpaid caregiving responsibilities, and the pressure to keep performing at work while privately carrying grief, medical decisions, and exhaustion. For many working caregivers, the strain is not only emotional. It can affect income, career stability, health, and the ability to remain in the workforce at all.Monica challenges the assumption that families should simply absorb this responsibility without consequence. The conversation turns toward workplace support for caregivers, the limitations of rigid bereavement and leave policies, and why flexible work for caregivers can be an act of both humanity and good leadership.Support can also begin closer to home. Another family member learns the care routine. Someone finally says what is really happening. A caregiver stops answering “fine” and allows another person to help carry the weight.Caregiving can be an expression of extraordinary love. But love does not make a person limitless. Sustainable care requires us to protect the life of the person receiving care without sacrificing the life of the person providing it.Moments That Create Momentum:When the Caregiver Becomes Invisible – Explore how responsibility for another person can consume so much emotional and physical energy that the caregiver's own needs quietly disappear.The Workplace Mask Caregivers Learn to Wear – Understand why employees may appear composed and productive while privately managing grief, medical crises, and round-the-clock caregiving responsibilities.Why Flexibility Is More Than an Employee Perk – Discover how small adjustments to schedules or work location can help organizations retain experienced employees instead of losing them to caregiving demands.The Cost of Keeping Caregiving a Family Secret – See how shame, privacy, and poor communication can leave one person carrying responsibilities that could be shared across family, friends, and community.Your Life Is Just as Worthy as the Person You're Caring For – Hear why caregiving cannot require complete self-erasure, and how protecting the caregiver may ultimately protect the person receiving care too.About the Guest:Monica Vest Wheeler speaks with heart, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, helping caregivers, families, and communities navigate some of life's most difficult moments. Her work is rooted in lived experience, including hundreds of interviews, volunteer work at more than 180 stroke and brain injury camps nationwide, facilitating hundreds of support and discussion groups, personal caregiving journeys, and her own openness about mental health. She has written more than a dozen books on Peoria, Illinois, history, along with five books exploring health, grief, and the emotional realities families face during catastrophic life events.As a writer and presenter, Monica is unafraid to address the questions many people avoid. She brings truth, warmth, humor, and practical clarity to conversations about caregiving, grief, communication, and emotional survival. Her work gives caregivers permission to ask for help without shame, encourages patients and survivors to express what they are experiencing, and reinforces one of the lessons she has seen repeatedly: families who communicate are more likely to stay connected through crisis rather than fall apart.https://www.monicavestwheeler.comhttps://www.facebook.com/monicavestwheelerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/monicavestwheeler/About Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

After decades of marriage, hearing that your spouse no longer wants to be married can shake far more than the relationship itself. It can affect your confidence, your sense of identity, and the future you thought you were building together.Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with Divorce Coach Beth Carroll, who works specifically with women over 50 who have been blindsided by divorce.Drawing from her own experience after a 25-year marriage, Beth talks openly about the constant replay of what happened, waking up thinking about it, questioning what was wrong with her, and wondering whether she had wasted the best years of her life. She shares how she eventually began moving beyond those questions and now helps other women do the same.Mardi and Beth also discuss identity after a long marriage, the difference between helpful support and remaining stuck in the same story, and why emotional overwhelm during divorce can influence important decisions about your future.Questions We ExploreQ: Why can being blindsided by divorce feel so destabilizing?A: When your marriage, family, work, future plans, and identity have been intertwined for decades, the unexpected end of the relationship can leave you questioning not only what happened, but who you are without it.Q: How do you stop constantly thinking about your ex and what went wrong?A: Beth describes moving beyond simply retelling the story and exploring the beliefs and emotional patterns that kept her focused on the relationship. For her, reaching a place of neutrality rather than love, anger, or regret became an important sign that she was moving forward.Q: Can divorce support groups sometimes keep you stuck?A: Support and connection can be incredibly valuable, but Beth and Mardi discuss how groups that continually reinforce the pain without helping members move forward can sometimes become an echo chamber. Beth believes support works best when there is also an intentional path toward healing and growth.Q: Why might being the “good person” hurt you during divorce?A: Beth sees women who are so concerned about appearing reasonable or proving that they were not responsible for the divorce that they may avoid getting appropriate professional support or advocating for their own interests.Q: Are the best years of your life behind you after divorce later in life?A: Absolutely not. Beth's message is that the end of a decades-long marriage does not define the rest of your life. There can still be tremendous opportunity to discover what you want and create a future that belongs to you.About the Guest:Beth Carroll helps women 50+ who were blindsided by divorce stop obsessing over him, release the belief that they weren't enough, and reclaim their confidence, calm, and sense of self. Using Rapid Reprogramming and somatic processing, Beth teaches why his leaving can feel like proof of your worth, and how to rewire that belief at the root so you can finally move forward.For Beth's gift:The Blindside Distinction Guide: https://app.bethcarrollcoaching.com/theblindsideddistinction-840544To connect with Beth:Website: https://bethcarrollcoaching.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bethcarrollcoaching/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550705971239About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

I sat down for pizza with my daughter and her friend, opened GoDaddy on my phone, and bought the domain before we finished lunch. That's how Susan Dabbar describes the moment PROVOKED went from an idea to something real, and it tells you almost everything about how she moves through the world.Susan has designed nuclear submarines, run brand campaigns for Disney and Nestlé, played professional poker in Moscow, built and sold half a dozen businesses, and at sixty-five, launched a media company for women who refuse to be told their best chapters are behind them.What struck me most in this conversation is that none of it happened alone. Every pivot, from her college consulting business to PROVOKED itself, was carried forward by a mentor, a daughter, a friend at a café table who said the right thing at the right moment.A few things I took away from our conversation:Reinvention is never a solo act. Susan credits mentors, family, and community at every turn, even in careers built on individual expertise like naval architecture and poker.Poker taught her more about business than she expected. Reading people and making decisions on incomplete information turned out to be the exact skill she needed for every pivot that followed.Paying every writer, even first timers, is nonnegotiable for Susan. It says everything about how she wants PROVOKED to treat the women who trust it with their stories.Passion alone is overrated. Susan's advice to anyone rebuilding a career is to look for the opportunity first, then match it to what you are good at and what you have the resources for.Everyone has a story worth telling. Susan's advice for anyone who does not think of themselves as a writer is simple: start with a few sentences on a scrap of paper and let it grow from there.Susan and her digital magazine PROVOKED can be found here:linkedin.com/in/susandabbarhttps://provokedmagazine.com/ In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

If you've ever wondered why you're not reaching your goals or why it takes so long, this episode is for you.Listen as our host Diane Rolston reveals what she's noticed in what the women who finally moved forward actually needed. She shares why the answer probably isn't another course, more information, or a better goal.Listen to learn these key takeaways:The wide range of goals women brought into She's Goaled over the years and the surprising pattern that showed up underneath all of themWhat women actually wrote on their application forms when asked what they needed and why it had nothing to do with more knowledgeThe woman who could easily see solutions for everyone around her but couldn't see clearly for herself, and why that's more common than anyone admitsWhy you probably already know what you need to do and what's actually stopping you from doing itWhat happens when you share your problem with a friend or networking contact and why it's not the same as having dedicated supportThe woman who wanted to start a new business while keeping her current one going, finish home renovations, and improve her health all at onceThe woman who sold her house, bought an RV, and started traveling while running her business and how fast it happened once the right support was in placeWhy She's Goaled isn't a course and why that matters, and how it flows naturally alongside your actual lifeThe lingering projects story: why one woman realized the things she'd been putting off weren't as hard or expensive as she'd thoughtThe question worth sitting with: if nothing changes about how you're currently approaching your goals, where will you be six months from now?Six months are going to pass either way. The question is what do you want to be different when they do. She's Goaled applications close September 4th at 11:59pm Pacific.

We live in a culture that constantly asks: How much?How many? How quickly? How successful?Quantity can be seen and counted. Quality must be felt.In this episode of Souloist, I explore another way of seeing—heart-sight.

What if courage in creativity has nothing to do with feeling brave and everything to do with being willing to be unmistakably yourself?In this latest episode of The Spark Sessions: Resourcing for Creativity, Rachel begins with a song she did not want to write. After forcing herself through three lifeless love songs, she finally surrendered to the one that felt too personal, too strange, and too exposing. It became the work that carried the most truth.That experience opens a deeper exploration of creative courage, one of the five essential resources for creativity. Rachel challenges the belief that we need confidence before we create, reframing courage as the fortitude to make what is ours even when self-doubt is loud. She offers a surprising way to relate to the inner critic, not as proof that the work is wrong, but as a possible sign that something meaningful is at stake. From there, perfectionism comes into focus as another subtle force that can make creativity smaller, safer, and less alive.With reflections on identity, risk, mistakes, and creative relationships, this episode asks a more intimate question: what becomes possible when we stop trying to make the right thing and give ourselves permission to make the thing that is truly ours?Ready to discover your unique creative landscape?Download the Muzi app at http://itunes.apple.com/app/id6739667782 to take the Creativity Assessment, and uncover your Spark profile. Then email your Spark to Rachel at rachel@rachelefron.com for a chance at a Spark Reading, where Rachel will offer personalized insight into what your creativity most needs from you right now.Sparks of Insight:Creative courage is not confidence. It is the willingness to make what is yours, even when you feel uncertain, exposed, or afraid.The song Rachel did not want to write, and what finally surrendering to it revealed about the work that carries real creative urgency.Your inner critic may become loudest when the work actually matters. A different way to understand the voice that tells you to pull back.Perfection can quietly eclipse artistry. When avoiding mistakes becomes the goal, creativity begins to lose its risk, play, and aliveness.A creative courage practice designed to reconnect you with what is uniquely yours to make, including the quirks, experiences, and perspectives only you can bring.About Rachel:Rachel Efron is an Oakland-based songwriter, producer, and creativity coach. She's released four full-length albums of original songs, plus written for such legends as Narada Michael Walden and Journey.

Divorce does not happen in isolation. You may be dealing with the end of your marriage while still running a business, leading a team, raising children, managing a household, and showing up in situations where people expect you to function just as you always have.But what happens when you simply don't feel like yourself anymore?Today, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with mental performance specialist and psychotherapist Tom Rohrer, PhD, about the connection between emotional experiences and our ability to perform in everyday life.Tom shares how unresolved emotional issues can affect confidence and performance, why taking responsibility is different from taking all the blame, and how realistically examining your role in a relationship can help interrupt unhealthy patterns. He also introduces brainspotting, a therapeutic approach he uses in his work, and discusses the connection between emotional processing, the brain, and the body.Questions We ExploreQ: Why can divorce affect your ability to perform in other areas of life?A: Significant emotional stress does not disappear simply because you walk into the office, attend an event, or need to take care of your family. Tom explains how unresolved emotional experiences can be triggered in situations that require us to perform and function at our usual level.Q: How do you stop blaming yourself for everything that went wrong in the marriage?A: Tom discusses “disputation,” a positive psychology approach that involves examining what actually happened, identifying your realistic share of responsibility, and separating that from the tendency to personalize everything that went wrong. Q: Can changing your own behavior interrupt an unhealthy relationship pattern?A: Sometimes. When one person stops covering, placating, making excuses, or participating in an established dynamic, the pattern itself may begin to change.Q: What is brainspotting?A: Tom describes brainspotting as a therapeutic approach that uses a person's visual field along with awareness of physical sensations as part of processing emotional experiences. He discusses how it developed from EMDR and how he incorporates it into his work. Q: What if you don't feel confident or capable after divorce?A: Rather than accepting that this is simply who you are now, Tom encourages looking at what may be underneath that loss of confidence and addressing the emotional experiences that may be affecting how you show up today.About the Guest:Tom Rohrer, PhD, is a mental performance specialist and psychotherapist who assists public performers, mainly athletes to: resolve emotional issues that are causing performance problems, integrate mental resource states like confidence, courage, or optimism, and expand their ability to perform in the flow state (zone). He also helps his clients with addiction issues by neutralizing triggers, boosting motivation and commitment. He works individually and offers webinars.To connect with Tom:Website: https://tomrohrer.com/About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about the concept of having a purpose to your life. Where you're living your life driven by something that helps other people. This is different than having a passion regarding something you enjoy. A purpose always involves helping other people. And it can be one's guiding light through their career.In this episode John talks about how in his 30s and 40s he had no clear purpose helping others. He was just trying to make enough money so he didn't have to ultimately work. Then he discovered the reverse mortgage business. In that business, he had a purpose. Because he lost his dad when he was 24. And he saw how investment advisors tried to get his mom to do various investments and they were more concerned about their commission then his mom's well-being. So when he got into the reverse mortgage business, his attitude was he was going to treat every customer like his own parents. Tell them the truth and tell them the negatives. It had a powerful impact on why the business was so successful. And today, John's focus is having the purpose of giving driven people who want to play the game of life at their full potential an edge, an advantage. And Kelly feels exactly the same way. She has a purpose for being an example to her employees. She calls it the ripple effect. She loves the effect of helping employers find candidates for their jobs and on the flipside helping employees find great jobs. It's her purpose.Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

For generations, women were taught a fairly predictable story about creating a family: find the right person, get married, and then have children. But what happens when life does not follow that sequence?In this episode, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with bestselling author, speaker, life coach, and nonprofit founder Cheri Bergeron about motherhood, divorce, fertility, and creating a family on your own terms.Cheri shares her personal journey from believing she needed marriage to “earn the right to motherhood” to becoming a single mother by choice. She talks openly about fertility treatment, donor conception, becoming a mother in her 40s, and grieving the traditional family story she once expected while discovering that a different path could still create the family she deeply wanted.This is a hopeful conversation about self-trust, understanding your options, and recognizing that the end of a marriage does not necessarily mean the end of your dream of motherhood.Questions We ExploreQ: What if you are divorced and still want children?A: Divorce does not necessarily close the door on motherhood. Cheri discusses several paths that may be available and why learning about your options can help you make choices that reflect what you truly want.Q: Why is understanding fertility earlier in life so important?A: Cheri explains that many women learn about reproductive timelines much later than they wish they had. Understanding fertility and available options earlier can provide more opportunity to think intentionally about future family planning.Q: Can you become a mother later in life?A: Cheri shares her own experience with fertility treatment and donor eggs, including having children in her 40s. Individual circumstances vary, making personalized medical guidance an important part of exploring fertility options.Q: How do single mothers by choice talk with their children about their origins?A: Cheri believes openness, honesty, and age-appropriate conversations can help children understand their individual family story while building trust between parent and child.Q: What if the family you create looks nothing like the one you originally imagined?A: Cheri encourages women to allow themselves to grieve the traditional story they expected while remaining open to another possibility: different does not have to mean less meaningful.About the Guest:Cheri Bergeron is a former tech executive turned bestselling author, speaker, life coach, and nonprofit founder. After a 10-year struggle with divorce and infertility involving IVF, donor conception, genetic defects and child loss, she gave birth to her children in her mid 40s. Driven by these experiences, Cheri wrote the #1 Amazon bestseller Mission: Motherhood and started Cheri's Choice to help women navigate non-traditional paths to motherhood on their own terms—with clarity, confidence, and choice.To connect with Cheri:Website: https://www.cheribergeron.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/missionmotherhoodLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheribergeron/About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

There was a moment on a retreat in Napa where Aaron Hendon realized something that had been true for years but he had never actually seen. He had the marriage, the kids, the business doing better every single year, and underneath all of it, a low hum of worry that never let up. He calls it the Jaws music.That moment cracked open everything we talk about in this episode. Aaron spent thirty years building one of Seattle's top real estate teams before training as a mindfulness instructor, and what he shares here is not the version of mindfulness you are picturing. No incense, no hour of sitting cross legged with an empty mind. He walks through what is actually happening in your brain when you build a real practice, why most gratitude habits fail before they start, and the framework from his new book that explains why.We also get into something every business owner will recognize, the myth that you can rise to the occasion when things get hard. Aaron makes the case that you actually sink to the level of your preparation, and what that means for how you show up with a difficult client or a deal that falls apart.A few things that stayed with me:The line between hustle that produces results and hustle that quietly feeds anxietyWhy his own gratitude practice does not start with a gratitude listWhat changed in his sales team's performance once he trained them in thisWhy multitasking costs you nearly half your effectiveness, and what to do insteadA simple way to reset your attention that has nothing to do with sitting stillAaron's new book, How to Live a Grateful Life in a F*d Up World, and Aaron can be found at: https://aaronhendon.com/In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Building wealth isn't only about making more money it's about creating the right financial structure to keep and grow more of what you earn. In this conversation with Rod Khleif, Loral Langemeier explains why proactive tax planning is an important part of that foundation.Rather than waiting until tax season, Loral shares how proactive tax planning means looking ahead at income, investments, corporate structure, deductions, and opportunities throughout the year. She also discusses strategies including R&D credits, cost segregation, corporate entities, trusts, and tax return reviews.Ultimately, proactive tax planning is about connecting your taxes with the bigger picture of how you make, invest, protect, and build wealth, so your financial strategy works together instead of as separate pieces.Loral's Takeaways:Loral's Background and Early Career (00:00)Transition to Financial Services and Mentorship (01:27)Challenges in the Financial Services Industry (03:59)Integrated Wealth Systems and Tax Planning (06:06)Tax Saving Strategies and Client Education (07:32)Proactive Tax Planning and Client Support (13:43)Legacy Planning and Client Education (14:26)Integrated Wealth Systems and Client Support (15:26)Client Testimonials and Success Stories (16:10)Meet Rod Khleif:Rod is a seasoned entrepreneur, real estate investor, and philanthropist with over 40 years of experience, having built 24+ businesses and owned 2,000+ properties.

When you are dividing assets in divorce, two numbers that look equal on paper may have very different financial implications once you consider taxes, liquidity, expenses, and what those assets could look like years from now.In this episode of The D Shift, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with Connie Howard, founder of What If Wealth, about why understanding your complete financial picture is so important before making decisions that may be difficult, or impossible, to change later.Connie brings a modeling approach to personal finances, helping people look beyond what an asset is worth today and consider different scenarios over a ten-year period. Together, Mardi and Connie discuss retirement accounts, real estate, taxes, support payments, refinancing, and some of the easily overlooked details that can have significant financial implications after divorce.Questions We ExploreQ: What financial information should you understand before negotiating a divorce settlement?A: Start with the complete picture, including assets, investments, pensions, deferred compensation, stock options, real estate, debt, income, expenses, taxes, and liquidity. Knowing what you own is only the beginning. Understanding how those assets actually work matters too.Q: Why aren't two assets worth $300,000 necessarily equal?A: Different assets can have very different tax consequences, liquidity, expenses, and growth potential. What ultimately matters may be considerably different from the number appearing on a financial statement.Q: Why should you look beyond the immediate divorce settlement?A: Financial decisions made during divorce can continue affecting cash flow and net worth for years. Modeling different possibilities can help you consider what happens when support ends, income changes, investments grow, debt is reduced, or other predictable financial changes occur.Q: What question should you ask instead of “What should I do?”A: Ask, “What happens if I do?” Understanding the potential implications of different options can help you make your own informed decision rather than focusing only on what appears best today.Connie's final advice is simple but important: you do not need to make every decision at once. Take the time to gather the information, understand the possibilities, and consider the potential outcomes before making decisions that may follow you long after the divorce is final.About the Guest:Connie Howard founded What-If Wealth after a career spent helping organizations navigate messy information and complex decisions. Over time, she saw how often individuals faced major financial choices without the same level of structure or visibility—an insight that led to the development of What-If Wealth.For Connie's gift: https://what-ifwealth-242855445.hs-sites-na2.com/what-if-mini-labTo connect with Connie:Website: what-ifwealth.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/What-If-Wealth/61575629559466/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatifwealthlab/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/constanceshoward About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about the concept of having a system for leading yourself versus just winging life. John talks about what a difference it made in his life in his 50s when he had a system for leading himself versus it is 30s and 40s when he was just winging life. When he was in his 50s he had a system that figured out the right actions to take. He had a system for being able to take those right actions consistently. He also had a system for being a conduit of learning. What a durable competitive advantage that is. At the end of the day, success is pretty simple. It comes down to knowing the right actions to take and then taking them consistently.In this episode John and Kelly talk about the great quote from James Clear who wrote atomic habits. You don't rise to the level of your goals you sink to the level of your systems. So for the audience that is just considering this 12 minute a day methodology, the logic of intelligently and purposefully leading yourself with the system should be quite obvious. And for the audience that is already doing the methodology, John and Kelly talk about something important. Use the quality control checklist to make sure what you're feeding yourself is of substantial quality.Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

Reporters are often inundated with automated, irrelevant email pitches. But how far is too far when using automation to secure media coverage?In this episode, we discuss a recent, troubling scandal where a PR agency used AI-generated personas of non-existent PR reps, complete with fake names and headshots, to pitch stories on behalf of their clients.One journalist, Maggie Harrison Dupré, uncovered the deception and documented it in a long and detailed article in Futurism — probably not the publicity those clients wanted!Abbie emphasizes that while AI is an excellent tool for efficiency, it should never replace the authentic human connection, intellectual property, and trust that form the foundation of public relations.Read the transcript and notes for this episode on the Copper State of Mind podcast website.Key TakeawaysThe overwhelming volume of AI-generated communication poses significant challenges to journalists and PR professionals alike.The "spray and pray" media pitching strategy has been worsened by AI, flooding reporters with irrelevant and deceptive spam that damages agency reputations.Transparency is a non-negotiable ethical obligation; agencies must disclose their AI practices to clients to avoid misrepresenting their brand.While AI can create operational efficiency, it cannot replace the genuine human relationships and intellectual property that PR professionals provide.As autonomous "agentic AI" continues to grow, the industry may eventually require authenticated, private channels to ensure human-to-human communication and filter out AI spam.Follow the podcastIf you enjoyed this episode, please follow Copper State of Mind in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or any other podcast app. We publish new episodes every other Friday.

What happens when work rooted in service slowly disconnects you from the very values that called you to it?For leaders working inside humanitarian crises, nonprofits, healthcare, education, business, and other demanding systems, exhaustion can become more than physical. Margie Buchanan-Smith calls it “soul weary,” the feeling of dragging yourself from one demand to the next while losing contact with purpose.Amy, Margie, and Dr. Margaret Benefiel, explore what it takes to stay human when need is immense, resources are shrinking, and systems increasingly reward compliance, metrics, and upward accountability. Margie brings the reality of decades in humanitarian leadership. Margaret brings a spiritual lens to organizational life, asking how leaders can draw on inner resources when systemic dysfunction cannot simply be worked around.Replenishment emerges not as escape from responsibility, but as part of how responsibility is sustained. So do values alignment, contemplative practice, community, and the willingness to take thoughtful risks.The work does not become less urgent when a leader pauses. Sometimes the pause restores the ability to see clearly. A breath, five quiet minutes, or an honest question about whose rules we are following can reconnect leadership with the people, purpose, and inner knowing that made the work matter in the first place.Moments That Create Momentum:When Compliance Pulls Leaders Away From Purpose – Explore how an intense focus on reporting, accountability, and organizational requirements can disconnect leaders from the people they serve and the values that brought them to the work.What It Means to Become Soul Weary – Understand how sustained pressure in purpose-driven work can slowly deplete a leader's inner resources, and why burnout can become a signal that something deeper needs attention.Leading From the Inside Out – Discover why creating even a few minutes of space for reflection can help leaders reconnect with their values, balance soul and ego, and respond from a more grounded place.When Success Measures Lose the Human Being – See how an overreliance on metrics, bureaucracy, and traditional definitions of success can obscure the well-being of both leaders and the people their organizations exist to serve.The Difference Between Thoughtful Risk and Recklessness – Hear why trying to eliminate uncertainty can keep leaders trapped in old ways of working, while carefully judged risks create space for new possibilities to emerge.Learn about The Soul of Leadership experience here: https://www.executivesoul.com/soulofleadership.htmlAbout the Guests:Margaret Benefiel, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Executive Soul, directs the Soul of Leadership program, which has been offered on four continents over the past 14 years.

How do you give difficult feedback without damaging trust?Katie O'Brien Ceccarini, author of Fearless Feedback: Everything Managers Have Never Been Taught About Feedback and founder of Endurance Management Coaching, brings two decades of experience leading, managing, and training teams. She shares how leaders can prepare for hard conversations, navigate emotional reactions, and say what needs to be said while preserving the relationship.Katie explains that fearless feedback starts before we ever choose the right words. It begins with our mindset, the strength of the relationship, and the intention we bring into the conversation. When we believe in the other person's ability to grow, we are more likely to communicate with conviction, clarity, and care.She also shows us how to stay present when feedback brings up defensiveness, emotion, silence, or resistance. Instead of reacting to what we see on the surface, we can get curious about what may be happening underneath. We can acknowledge someone's experience without abandoning the message, and we can refocus the conversation without turning it into a debate.When we strengthen our mindset, relationships, and delivery, we can give feedback with greater courage, build trust through difficult moments, and create conversations that help people grow.Key Takeaways:Prepare Your Mindset for Feedback: Explore how the beliefs you bring into a conversation can shape how your message is received.Strengthen the Relationship First: Consider how trust and safety can create a stronger foundation for honest feedback.Open the Conversation Well: Discover how a thoughtful headline can make difficult feedback easier to hear and engage with.Navigate Difficult Reactions: Examine how the HEAR framework can help you respond when feedback triggers defensiveness, emotion, or resistance.Make a Better Second Choice: Learn how noticing your first reaction can help you approach challenging feedback conversations with greater courage.Resources MentionedThe Inspire Your Team to Greatness assessment (the Courage Assessment) - In less than 10 minutes, find out where you're empowering and inadvertently kills productivity, and get a custom report that will tell you step by step what you need to have your team get more done.

The beliefs we absorb from our families, culture, and past experiences can quietly influence how we spend, save, invest, and even how comfortable we feel having money.In this episode of The D Shift: Redefining Divorce and Beyond, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with financial wellbeing coach JD Rose, creator of the Whole Money Method, about the connection between money, identity, emotions, and the body.JD explains why financial security does not automatically eliminate feelings of scarcity, how long-held beliefs about money can continue influencing us well into adulthood, and why changing our relationship with money requires more than simply thinking differently.For anyone facing major financial decisions during or after divorce, this conversation offers a different way to consider what may be influencing those choices beneath the surface.Questions We ExploreQ: Why can someone have plenty of money and still feel financially insecure?A: Because feelings of financial safety can be connected to identity, cultural conditioning, family messages, and deeply held beliefs about scarcity, not simply the amount of money in the bank.Q: How do childhood experiences influence our financial decisions as adults?A: Messages about saving, spending, debt, success, and what we “should” or “should not” do with money can become part of an internal operating system that continues influencing our choices years later.Q: How can you begin identifying a money story that may no longer serve you?A: JD suggests slowing down and getting curious about the story behind a reaction or behavior, then questioning whether that belief is actually true or simply something you have learned to accept as true.Q: Why isn't changing your money mindset just about changing your thoughts?A: Money can create very real emotional and physical responses. JD explains why recognizing feelings such as shame, guilt, fear, or even tension in the body can be an important part of changing your relationship with money.Q: What is one idea JD wants listeners to remember?A: “Wealth begins in your body. It doesn't begin in your bank account.”About the Guest:JD Rose is a Financial Well-Being Coach and creator of The Whole Money Method, a whole-person approach to personal finance grounded in practical strategy, emotional clarity, and energy alignment. Drawing on 25 years spanning therapeutic bodywork, health & business coaching, and financial well-being, she works with soulful, sensitive women who feel capable in most areas of life yet secretly struggle with anxiety and shame around money.

Jared Harman started learning about people at age twelve, working in his family's restaurant on Granville Island. Tourists from everywhere, personalities from all over, and a quick education in how to show up for someone even when it is hard. That early lesson never left him.Today, Jared is the CEO and Co-Founder of The One Group Agency, a full-service digital marketing firm in Surrey, BC. His team has held onto roughly 80% of their original clients for nearly a decade. In a world where loyalty feels rare and everything moves fast, that kind of track record tells you something important about how he runs his business.In this conversation, Jared and I talk about what sport, hospitality, and community involvement actually teach you about leading people, and why the businesses that last are almost always the ones that put relationships first.What struck me most was how consistent his philosophy is. Whether he was selling rink board ads to sponsors at twenty-three and realizing people were renewing because they liked him, or telling a client in L.A. "I can't promise we're the best, but I can promise we'll always do our best for you" — the thread is the same. It's trust. It's showing up. It's being the kind of person people want to keep in their corner.Jared also talked about something I think a lot of leaders overlook: the value of staying calm when things go sideways. His mantra from his years at the Langley Events Centre still guides him today. The game is going to happen with or without you, so take a breath and figure out the best path forward.Key TakeawaysThe habits that make great leaders, reading people, staying calm, showing up, are often built long before the business is.Client retention at 80% over nine years is not about being the best agency in the room. It's about being the most trustworthy one.Availability is a competitive advantage. Answering the phone on a weekend is not a boundary problem, it's a relationship investment.Pushing back on a client's strategy, with clear reasoning and genuine care, is one of the most respectful things an agency can do.Your network is not just a nice-to-have. It is the sounding board that helps you see your business clearly when you're too close to it yourself.Webite - https://www.onegroupagency.ca/aboutLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredharmanIn appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Before you work any harder towards your goals this fall, there's one question worth asking first: are you actually chasing what you want? Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, gets honest about something ambitious women rarely stop to examine: the goals they're pursuing that were never really theirs to begin with. She shares why the friction you're feeling might not be a discipline problem at all.Listen to learn these key takeaways:Why ambitious women are great at setting goals, but not every goal comes from a genuine desire (some come from expectations, comparison, or simply being the next logical step)Why Diane quit a commitment even though she invested money, made a plan, and had committed, and what Diane's coach asked that changed everythingThe difference between not wanting to do something and not wanting the outcome, and why that distinction matters more than you thinkWhat "should goals" actually sound like and why they feel heavy even when they sound impressiveWhy women often assume they're procrastinating when they might actually be resisting a goal that doesn't belong to themThe connection to Chasing: the spark that says "she stopped listening to me years ago", and what that means for the goals you're quietly ignoringThe client who wanted a promotion, and what doing the Wheel of Life revealed was actually underneath that goalWhy carrying the wrong goals into a busy season just creates more pressure, and why the fall is the perfect time to pause and check inThe reminder that sometimes the goal doesn't need to be dropped. It just needs to be achieved a different way (or made even bigger)The truth about friction: a goal you don't actually want will fight you every step of the way, and no amount of discipline can fix thatShe's Goaled Coaching Mastermind doors are open until September 4th at 11:59 pm Pacific.

Jane Austen wasn't polite—she was sharp, savage, and brilliantly misunderstoodFor generations, Jane Austen has been portrayed as a quiet, genteel figure—an almost saintly observer of polite Regency society. But what if that image is completely wrong?In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by Austen expert and What The Austen podcast host Izzy Meakin to dismantle one of literary history's most persistent myths. Drawing on Austen's surviving letters, family history, and the subtext of her novels, Izzy reveals a writer who was anything but passive—sharp-tongued, ironic, politically aware, and often brutally funny.From scathing remarks about neighbours and family to her barely concealed disdain for the Prince Regent, Austen's private voice tells a very different story. With only around 160 letters surviving—and many deliberately destroyed by her sister Cassandra—the version of Austen we've inherited is incomplete at best, curated at worst.Izzy explores how Austen's family helped shape her legacy after her death, particularly through her brother Henry's glowing (and arguably over-sanitised) biography and even her gravestone inscription—both of which emphasised her sweetness and morality while ignoring her literary achievements.But the real Austen lives in the nuance:A writer who channelled personal frustrations into Sense and SensibilityA keen observer of social hypocrisy and gender constraintsA creator of complex, flawed, and deeply human female charactersThis episode dives into how Austen's lived experiences—from financial insecurity to complicated family dynamics—fed directly into her fiction, and why her work continues to reward readers who look beyond the surface.If you think Austen is all romance and manners, this conversation will change your perspective entirely.About the GuestIzzy Meakin is the host of the What The Austen podcast, where she explores the life, works, and cultural legacy of Jane Austen with fresh insight and humour.Instagram: @whattheaustenPodcast: Available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube and all major platformsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whattheaustenListen & Follow History RageWebsite: https://historyrage.comSubscribe on your favourite podcast appJoin the mailing list via SubstackFollow for updates and episode releasesSupport the PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode:Follow and subscribe on your podcast platformLeave a rating or review on Apple PodcastsShare the episode with fellow history loversJoin the mailing list for exclusive updates at www.historyrage.com or https://historyrage.substack.com/Step beyond the myth and rediscover Jane Austen as she really was: complicated, contradictory, and endlessly fascinating.

Michael Barbarita learned one of his most important business lessons by experiencing both sides of entrepreneurship: building successful companies and watching another fail. The difference came down to his business growth strategy . When he stopped copying competitors and started solving customer problems differently, his businesses grew. When he followed what everyone else was doing, the results changed dramatically.In this episode of Real Money Talks, Michael joins Loral Langemeier to share the business growth strategy he now uses to help small business owners improve revenue, cash flow, conversions, and ultimately the value of their companies. He breaks down his four-part conversion formula; captivate, fascinate, educate, and offer, and explains the five elements that can make an offer more compelling.If you're trying to increase sales, improve cash flow, or differentiate yourself in a crowded market, this business growth strategy offers practical ways to rethink what you're doing and focus on the activities that actually move your business forward.Loral's Takeaways:Michael Barbarita's Journey in Financial Services (00:00)Success in the Ski and Frozen Cookie Dough Businesses (02:56)Conversion Models and Compelling Offers (06:39)Challenges in Implementing Business Strategies (14:20)I Hope So Marketing vs. Compelling Marketing (18:42)Fractional CFO Services and Long-Term Client Relationships (21:03)Financial Management and Cash Flow Improvement (22:36)Diagnostic Assessment and Free Resources (24:14)Meet Michael BarbaritaMichael J.

After nearly four decades of marriage, who are you when that marriage suddenly ends?In this episode, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with Dr. Tamara Monosoff about the identity shift that can accompany gray divorce and the process of discovering what you want when you've spent decades caring for everyone else.After her own 38-year marriage unexpectedly ended, Dr. Tamara found herself facing grief, shame, loneliness, and a question she couldn't answer: What do I want? Her healing eventually led her to create the kind of supportive community she wished she'd had during those difficult years after divorce.Mardi and Dr. Tamara discuss why there is no timeline for healing and why rebuilding doesn't require enormous changes. Sometimes it starts by taking a class, pursuing an old interest, saying hello to someone new, or simply giving yourself permission to discover what makes you happy. Dr. Tamara shares how she pursued a lifelong dream, packed one suitcase, moved to Portugal, and began creating a completely different life.They also explore the difference between being alone and being lonely, the importance of connection and community, and the freedom to decide for yourself what you want this next chapter to look like.The discussion covers:• Why gray divorce can create a profound identity shift• Why there is no "correct" timeline for healing• How to begin figuring out what you want again• Why small new experiences can rebuild confidence and connection• The difference between being alone and being lonely• How community can support life after divorceAbout the Guest:Host & Founder: She's Not Done Yet!

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about the effect of having a lack of clarity. In the advanced leadership of self methodology, it's all about clarity. You define exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you are going to achieve your clearly defined goals. You then feed that clarity to yourself each day as your morning routine.After 21 days, then the right actions start happening automatically. And those right actions create the life you desire. But it all comes back clarity. John and Kelly talk about how most people, probably 98% of people, have a level of clarity at two or three on a scale of 1 to 10. In terms of what they want and how they are going to get it. And the effect of that lack of clarity is it causes a person to keep replicating the life they have. As opposed to creating the life they desire. John and Kelly also talk about the process of having a clear vision and feeding it to yourself each day. Then from that clarity, it gives you an enhanced ability to iterate that vision. Later in the podcast John and Kelly talk about an interesting concept called you are the problem and you are the solution. But it gets us back to clarity. When you do thinking time sessions around you are the problem and you are the solution, watch what happens. Clarity comes to you in terms of what the actual problem is then you can likely see that you're also the solution. Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

Why do successful men still struggle with burnout, anger, disconnection, and feeling unfulfilled?Amy sits down with men's high performance coach Pat Smith to explore why professional achievement, physical fitness, and financial success do not necessarily create emotional well-being. Pat shares why many business problems are actually personal patterns showing up at work, and how perfectionism, grief, shame, pressure, and survival strategies can quietly shape the way men lead.Together they explore emotional intelligence for men, the shift from positional power to relational leadership, and why emotional awareness can become a form of strength rather than weakness. The conversation moves through high performance without burnout, emotional regulation at work, psychological safety, masculine identity, accountability, vulnerability, and the importance of creating spaces where men can speak honestly without blame or shame.By the end, what emerges is a broader definition of strength. Sustainable success is not about having everything under control. It is about developing the self-awareness, emotional ownership, and relational capacity to lead yourself and others with greater trust, connection, and resilience.Moments That Create Momentum:1. When Business Problems Are Really Personal Problems – Explore how perfectionism, performance anxiety, and unresolved experiences can follow leaders into the workplace disguised as professional challenges.2. The Shift From Positional Power to Relational Leadership – Discover why getting results through hierarchy and authority can create disconnection, while relationships, trust, and emotional intelligence strengthen leadership.3. The Leadership Mask That Becomes Exhausting to Wear – Understand why trying to appear as though you have everything together can drain leaders and keep their teams from experiencing who they really are.4. What Emotional Strength Actually Looks Like – Hear why accessing sadness, fear, frustration, and other emotions is not weakness, and how learning to move through them can build resilience.5. Taking Back the Reins of Your Emotional Life – See how changing language from blame to ownership can help leaders stop giving other people and circumstances control over how they think, feel, and respond.About the Guest:Pat Smith is a men's high performance coach who helps men become wildly successful professionally without losing themselves in the process. Over the past four years, he's coached Fortune 500 executives, pro athletes, celebrity actors, business owners, top sales professionals, and men in many other leadership roles.

“If you really focus on the reader and creating something meaningful and impactful and excellent... it has longevity and shelf life and continued work to do out in the world well beyond you.” — Stacy EnnisIn this episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I sit down with Stacy Ennis to explore what it really takes to write and publish a nonfiction book that grows your business, strengthens your brand, and creates lasting impact. We discuss the publishing process, book coaching, traditional publishing vs. self-publishing, and why integrity, strategy, and a clear message matter more than simply getting a book into the world.Stacy shares practical insights from years of helping authors craft books that not only sell, but also make a meaningful difference—offering valuable guidance for anyone considering writing a business book or becoming a published author.Also mentioned in today's episode:00:10 Introduction to Stacy Ennis and her background01:00 Stacy's journey from childhood reading to publishing expert02:36 Her experience in publishing and ghostwriting03:24 Working with authors with a bigger mission04:49 The ROI of writing a book and trust building05:56 Trusting Stacy's expertise after a trust-breaking experience07:43 The importance of mission and impact in writing09:04 The strategic value of a book for influence and marketing10:33 Shelf life and longevity of well-done work12:24 Reflections on the author journey and publishing routes14:36 Exploring traditional, self, and hybrid publishing16:36 The evolving landscape of publishing and author education18:24 Why hybrid and self-publishing are viable options20:28 The role of a book in business, trust, and influence24:18 The transformative process of organizing ideas27:37 The impact of writing on personal and business growth28:58 The importance of creative health and deep thought31:16 Rebuilding self-trust through the writing process32:44 The societal and professional importance of authorship33:01 Stacy's resources and podcastIf you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

Your home can hold memories and emotions from a life that may no longer reflect who you are or where you are going. After divorce or another major transition, changing your surroundings can become an important part of creating your next chapter.Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with interior design professional Paula Nuspl about intuitive interior design and how the spaces around us can influence the way we feel. They discuss how a home shared during marriage often reflects years of compromise and why divorce can provide an opportunity to reconsider what you want your home to look and feel like.Paula shares how letting go of possessions, making small changes, or creating an entirely new space can help you reclaim your environment. She also explains why working with an interior designer does not necessarily require a large budget or complete renovation.Mardi and Paula also explore the decision to remain in the family home after divorce or start fresh somewhere new, and why there is no single right choice. What matters is creating a space that supports who you are today and the life you want to build.In This Episode, You'll Learn:• How your surroundings can affect your emotional well-being• Why divorce may change the way you experience your home• How to decide what possessions still belong in your life• Why small design changes can make a significant difference• What to consider when deciding whether to stay or move• How to create a home that reflects who you are becomingAbout the Guest:Paula Nuspl is an intuitive interior design specialist and founder of Paula Nuspl Interiors, helping women reclaim their space—and themselves—after major life transitions like divorce. She believes your home isn't just where you live; it's either quietly holding you in the past or powerfully supporting who you're becoming. Blending design expertise with deep intuition, Paula looks beyond aesthetics to how a space shapes your clarity, confidence, and daily decisions. Her work helps women release what no longer fits and create environments that feel grounded, supportive, and fully their own. For women navigating the emotional and practical shifts of starting over, Paula's approach brings the transformation out of your head and into your home—so your space finally reflects the life you're ready to step into.For Paula's gift: www.paulanusplinteriors.comTo connect:Website: www.paulanusplinteriors.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulanusplinteriorsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/paula.nuspl/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paula-nuspl-interiors/About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

There is a moment in this conversation that I keep coming back to. Zvi Band said something simple that landed hard: most people treat relationship building as an organic thing, something they will just get around to when someone comes to mind. And that, he says, is exactly why it falls apart.Zvi started as a software developer who walked into networking events, made a lap, and walked straight back out. What changed was not a personality shift. It was a lightning-bolt moment when a startup disappeared overnight, and he was flooded with job offers and introductions, every one of them tracing back to a relationship already built.In this episode, we talk about the fear of reaching out after a long silence, the mindset shift that makes it easier, and why the relationships already in your world are worth far more than any new lead you could chase. Zvi also shares something I loved: we are only responsible for our second thought and our first action. That first voice that says they will think I am salesy? Let it be there. Then act from the second one instead.Key TakeawaysRelying on memory alone is why most people fail at staying in touch. A little structure changes everything.You do not need a perfect reason to reach out. "I thought of you today" is enough.Most CRMs are built around pipelines, not people. Relatable puts the relationship at the centre.That inner voice telling you reaching out will seem pushy? Ask yourself if it is actually true.The best relationship builders are not the most sophisticated; they are the ones who stayed in the game.Connect with Zvi BandWebsite: zviband.comRelatable CRM: bemorerelatable.comBook: Success is in Your Sphere — available wherever books are soldIn appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.AND … Don't forget to connect with me on LinkedIn and be eligible for my complimentary LinkedIn profile audit – I do one each month for a lucky listener!Connect with me:http://JanicePorter.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/janiceporter/https://www.facebook.com/janiceporter1https://www.instagram.com/socjanice/Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Most of us think the biggest decision about a room is whether it's functional. Leidy Klotz thinks that's the wrong question, and the right one changes how a desk, a kitchen, or an entire return-to-office policy actually lands on the person living inside it.Leidy Klotz is a behavioral scientist and engineering professor at the University of Virginia who studies how and why humans design. His research has appeared in Nature and Science, and he's been interviewed everywhere from Hidden Brain to Freakonomics to The Atlantic. Before any of that, he spent 22 years as a professional soccer player and then built schools for a living, which is part of why his take on space is so physical and so lived-in.In this conversation, you'll explore:The three psychological needs that every space either feeds or starves, and why they trace straight back to hunter-gatherer survivalWhy Susan Cain's open-office backlash and today's return-to-office mandates are the same failure wearing different clothesThe strange, well-documented phenomenon of "habituation," including the story of an architecture student who walked past a six-story landmark building for years without ever seeing itA simple practice called "space before screen," and why the top of a parking garage might be the cheapest awe you'll ever findWhat it means to build a space that keeps someone's memory alive, drawn from one of the most personal stories Leidy has ever told on a podcastIf you've ever felt something shift the moment you walked into a certain room and couldn't say why, this conversation gives you the language for it.You can find Leidy at: Website | LinkedIn | Episode TranscriptNext week, we're sitting down with Chris Guillebeau to talk about why the anxious feeling that you're running out of time might be less about your calendar and more about a story you've never questioned.
