How much of our energy is being spent on things that won't even matter a year from now? In this episode, we talk about the exhausting cycle of overthinking, carrying worries that aren't ours to hold, and forgetting to enjoy the life happening right in front of us. This is a conversation about choosing peace, trusting the journey, and remembering that the best chapters of our lives may still be ahead.

High-altitude chaos, nitro explosions, and questionable climbing decisions collideIn this second part of Review It Yourself's deep dive into Vertical Limit, Sean and Sarah push further up the mountain—and deeper into the madness. From explosive set pieces to surprisingly brutal injuries, this episode breaks down everything that makes this cult climbing thriller unforgettable… for better and worse.Picking up where Part One left off, the conversation explores the film's most intense sequences, including the deadly realities of high-altitude climbing, where your body is already failing long before the danger even begins . The hosts dive into the film's logic (or lack of it), debating whether the action holds up or collapses under its own ambition—often hilariously.Expect plenty of sharp observations and laughs as they unpack the film's wild choices, from characters making questionable survival decisions to the sheer physical toll of climbing up… and especially down. There's also discussion of memorable moments that stuck with them since childhood, including some genuinely grim scenes involving injury and survival .By the end, Sean and Sarah reflect on whether Vertical Limit deserves its place as a cult favourite, or if it's simply an over-the-top relic of early 2000s action cinema. Either way, it's a film that sparks strong reactions—and makes for a highly entertaining review.If you enjoy film reviews with honest opinions, humour, and zero pretension, this episode delivers exactly that.

A ridiculous climb, impossible odds, and a surprisingly fun debateIn this episode of Review It Yourself, we take on the 2000 survival thriller Vertical Limit—a film that's equal parts intense, absurd, and weirdly unforgettable. Hosts Sean and Sarah go head-to-head as nostalgia clashes with scepticism in a lively, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful deep dive into one of the most over-the-top mountaineering films ever made. Sean comes in with a soft spot for the film, while Sarah questions whether it deserves any praise at all. What follows is a sharp, entertaining breakdown of explosive action scenes, questionable realism, and the emotional stakes behind the story. From the infamous opening tragedy to the film's relentless escalation, the discussion highlights just how much Vertical Limit asks its audience to suspend disbelief.But this episode goes beyond just picking apart unrealistic climbing sequences. Sean and Sarah dig into the deeper themes—exploring ambition, ego, and the ethics of risking lives for glory. The film's portrayal of mountaineering culture, corporate greed, and extreme decision-making becomes a springboard for wider conversation about human nature under pressure.Along the way, there's plenty of humour as the hosts debate whether this is the “dumbest” film they've covered—or simply one of the most entertaining. They also touch on standout performances, character motivations, and the film's place in early 2000s action cinema. The result is an episode that balances critique with genuine enjoyment, making it perfect for film fans who love both analysis and banter.If you enjoy film reviews that don't take themselves too seriously—but still offer real insight—this episode delivers exactly that.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about what the true test of intelligence is. As John ultimately discloses, it's getting what you want in life. Creating the life you want. Then the second question. What is the currency of life? Is it time or is it money? Or something else. It's actually your attention. During this podcast John and Kelly talk about why people's lives evolve like they do. Most people are just winging life. They don't really have an actual way of doing life. And so to a significant degree, their outcomes in life come down to luck. Now keep in mind, genetics, upbringing and that type of thing are a factor. But luck has an outsized role if you're not intentionally leading yourself. 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.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa explores how the books we loved when we were young helped shape what we notice, value, question, and carry into adulthood AND how our own stories  can help us write a better resume.From Erma Bombeck and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple to Nancy Drew, The Boxcar Children, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, Divergent, and more, this episode looks at the “childhood bookshelf” as more than nostalgia. Those early stories may have taught us how to solve problems, recognize patterns, seek belonging, survive broken systems, resist being reduced to one role, and remember who we were before burnout took over.Vanessa also talks about reading with children and teens, the difference between censorship and conversation, and why the books young people choose can give us clues about what they are trying to understand.In the Career Transition and Job Search segment, Vanessa moves into resume basics for teachers leaving the classroom. She explains why a modern resume is not your whole life story, why skills should be shown through evidence-rich bullet points instead of a disconnected skills section, and how teachers can begin turning real classroom stories into quantifiable resume accomplishments.You'll also hear about the “Everything Resume” — a master resume template that holds your stories, accomplishments, projects, leadership roles, certifications, data stories, communication wins, and more — so you have raw material ready when it is time to tailor a resume for a specific job posting.Episode highlights:Why childhood books may still hold clues about who we areHow Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z reading experiences shaped different kinds of courageWhy “stories matter” does not mean censorship is the answerHow rereading old favorites can help reconnect us with ourselvesWhy teachers need targeted resumes, not one perfect resume for every jobHow to turn teaching stories into resume bullet pointsWhy quantifiable resume metrics matterWhat an Everything Resume is and why teachers should build oneHow SCOUT helps Vanessa's clients explore career direction and translate teaching experienceMentioned in this episode:Erma Bombeck — Aunt Erma's Cope Book and other humor collections Carolyn Keene — Nancy Drew series Franklin W.

What if one of the most powerful tools for your brain health has been sitting on the shelf since childhood — and you just forgot to pick it back up? In this episode of the Let's Talk Brain Health! Podcast, Dr. Krystal Culler, DBH, MA sits down with Rachael Renae— artist, play enthusiast, creative educator, and debut author of Prioritize Play: Express Your Creativity, Boost Your Confidence, and Foster Deeper Connection — for a conversation that will change the way you think about play, creativity, connection, and what it truly means to care for your brain.We often hear brain health advice centered on movement, sleep, nutrition, and stress management. But how often are we told to write a haiku between meetings, make a seasonal play playlist, or simply follow the fun — just for the brain-building benefit of it? The science says we should be.A former engineer with over a decade in her field, Rachael discovered that what was missing from her life wasn't a career change — it was play. This conversation is for anyone who has ever said "I'm not creative," "I don't have time for play," or quietly wondered why life feels a little gray lately.What You'll Learn in This Episode

What happens when the advice meant to help us succeed teaches us to distrust our own voice?In this conversation, Amy sits down with Create Magic At Work's Resident Voice and Presence coach Sandra Bargman to explore a question that reaches far beyond communication skills. Are women being supported in finding their voice, or are they being taught to reshape themselves to fit environments that were never designed for them?Together, they unpack the hidden assumptions behind executive presence, the double standards that shape how authority is perceived, and the subtle ways women are encouraged to soften, edit, or second-guess themselves. From phrases like "Does that make sense?" to the criticism of vocal fry, filler words, and emotional language, the conversation challenges who gets to decide what credibility sounds like.Amy and Sandra also share what they are seeing inside the voice and presence coaching at Create Magic At Work with clients, where storytelling, breath, intention, and self-awareness often create deeper transformation than any communication technique.At its core, this episode is an invitation to stop asking how to sound more powerful and start asking whether we trust ourselves enough to be heard.Moments That Create Momentum:1. Fixing Women or Fixing the Room — Explore why communication advice often focuses on changing women instead of challenging the environments where leadership is evaluated.2. When Authenticity Gets Mistaken for Weakness — Understand how collaboration, emotional intelligence, and relational language are often judged differently depending on who is speaking.3. Silence as a Leadership Skill — Discover why presence and confidence are often found in thoughtful pauses rather than faster responses.4. The Stories We Are Most Afraid to Tell — Learn how the experiences we hide or dismiss often become our most powerful leadership lessons.5. Presence Beyond Performance — See how breath, intention, and genuineness create trust and influence without requiring people to become someone they are not.Schedule a Voice & Presence Coaching Intro session - complimentaryThis 20-minute session with Amy Lynn Durham is the required first step for all Voice & Presence coaching at Magic Thread Media.We'll walk through your vision/goals and then transition you directly into your 1:1 sessions with Sandra Bargman.Link to schedule - https://amylynndurham.as.me/voicepresenceintroLearn more - https://magicthreadmedia.com/servicesAbout the Guest:Sandra Bargman helps leaders unlock truthful presence with a blend of vocal mastery, storytelling skill, and deep emotional intelligence.

Divorce is often viewed as an ending, but what if it could become a life-changing, very positive beginning?Today on The D Shift, Mardi Winder sits down with divorce coach Christa Skinner to discuss how divorce can become a powerful catalyst for personal growth, self-discovery, and transformation. Sharing her own experience of navigating an unexpected divorce after more than three decades together, Christa talks about how she turned one of life's most difficult transitions into an opportunity to create a more authentic and fulfilling life.Together, Mardi and Christa explore the emotional challenges many women face during divorce, including the loss of identity, family expectations, self-trust, and the fear of starting over. They also discuss the critical role divorce coaching can play in helping individuals make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.Whether you are contemplating divorce, currently navigating the process, or rebuilding your life afterward, this conversation offers hope, encouragement, and practical insight into creating a meaningful next chapter.In this episode we discuss:• What makes divorce coaching different from traditional life coaching• Why many women struggle with identity loss during and after divorce• The impact of family expectations, judgment, and societal pressures• How to rebuild self-trust after a relationship ends• Why healing and self-discovery are essential parts of the divorce journey• How to move from surviving to thriving after divorceAbout the Guest:Christa Skinner is a certified health, life, and Canadian-trained breakup and divorce coach who guides women through midlife identity shifts and life transitions with clarity, confidence, and grounded strength. After meeting her former husband at twelve, marrying young, and raising three daughters, Christa faced an unexpected divorce following 22 years of marriage — an experience that left her depleted but ultimately became the catalyst for profound reinvention. Determined to provide the support she once searched for, she trained through the Health Coach Institute and under Sara Davison, the world's leading divorce coach. She is a member of the International Divorce Coach Centre of Excellence (IDCCOE) and continues to deepen her expertise in high-conflict dynamics and collaborative resolution. A co-author of the bestselling book Emotional Alchemy and featured in national media, Christa's forthcoming Fall 2026 book positions midlife not as breakdown, but as re-anchoring, power, and intentional becoming.To connect with Christa: Website: https://www.christaskinnercoaching.com/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/christaskinnerbecoming?igsh=c2FjY3Y0b3JoaWV4&utm_source=qr LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/christa-s-b323b03a5About 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 have been looking forward to this conversation for a while, and it did not disappoint.Michael Roderick is a return guest, who was on the show back in 2021 (episode 118), in my very first year. We lost touch for a while, and then something funny happened. His name kept coming up in rooms he was not in. A guest from New York turned out to be a friend of his. That friend introduced me to two people right here in Vancouver, and both of them knew Michael too. Before long, I had no choice but to reach out. Which, as Michael himself would say, is exactly how referability is supposed to work.Michael went from high school English teacher to Broadway producer in under two years, not because he had the right connections, but because he understood something most people miss. It is not about access. It is about interest. Today he runs Small Pond Enterprises, helping coaches, consultants, and subject matter experts build brands that are referable, messaging that is memorable, and ideas that are unforgettable.In this episode, we get into two things that I think are going to stay with you. The first is his AIM framework for referability, three principles that determine whether people talk about you when you are not in the room. The second is his brand-new Triple Threat framework, borrowed straight from the theater world, which helps experts understand how their natural thinking talents should shape the way they market themselves, build relationships, and get paid for their brains.And we close with something that felt timely and true, why this moment, with all its noise and uncertainty and AI overload, is actually the greatest opportunity for people who know how to have a real conversation.Key TakeawaysReferability comes down to three things: AIM. Accessibility, Influence, and Memory. If people cannot easily understand what you do, feel motivated to share it, and remember it well enough to talk about it later, you will stay invisible no matter how good you are.Stop leading with your solution. Most experts spend all their time talking about what they have solved. Michael makes the case that the real work is in articulating the problem so clearly that the person across the table says, that is exactly what I am going through. Trust follows from there.Know your thinking talent order. Whether you are a Scientist, Celebrity, or Magician, the order matters as much as the talent itself. Leaning into the wrong talent, because someone told you that is what marketing requires, is one of the most common reasons experts stay stuck.Magicians show, they do not tell.

Send us a Text Message about the podcastIf compassion doesn't change what we do, is it compassion at all? Sitting in Barbados with Dr. Kerry King, a clinical psychologist whose career sits at the intersection of substance use treatment, mental health care, and faith, we get honest about what compassion really requires when people are carrying pain that doesn't fit the script. We break down why “seeing” isn't enough, how faith and mental health can work together, and what small actions can create real belonging in a community.We discuss:• Dr. King's background in co-occurring substance use treatment and mental health systems. • The false divide between faith and science and how to live in the middle.• Why mental health feels complex and why quick fixes fail.• Compassion as a three-legged stool. • The difference between empathy and compassion, and how boundaries prevent burnout.• How church messaging can miss lived experience around divorce, singleness, and family life. • Performative compassion versus being a consistently decent neighbor. • What gangs and bars teach about inclusion, connection, and belonging. • Small compassionate acts that add up to systemic impact, including diaspora barrels and remittances. • Three closing takeaways: pay attention, lean in with curiosity, take a risk, choose vulnerability to remind people they're not alone Remember to subscribe and leave us a rating. Email us your comments at abovethenoise.buzzsprout.comAnd follow us on Instagram and Facebook at @abovethenoise24. Dr. Kerry King, The King Institute, www.thekinginstitute.org#compassion#drkerryking#thekinginstitutepromotes my new integrated website.Support the show#abovethenoise24# faith#reconciliation#race#racialreconciliation#compassionWe appreciate your support: Buy Me A CoffeeStay in touch:Email us at: abovethenoise24@gmail.comFacebook: @abovethenoise24Instagram: abovethenoise24Podcast art by Mario Christie.

A haunting maritime tragedy retold through gripping drama and expert insight.In this episode of Review It Yourself, we dive deep into the powerful Polish mini-series Heweliusz—a dramatisation of one of the most devastating maritime disasters in European history. Joined by special guest Jamie from Old Shipping Lines, this episode blends historical analysis, storytelling critique, and real-world maritime expertise for a truly compelling listen.A gripping true story beneath the wavesThe series explores the tragic sinking of the Jan Heweliusz ferry, which capsized on 14th January 1993—still considered the worst maritime disaster in Polish history, with only a handful of survivors .From the very first episode, the show establishes a sombre and haunting tone, capturing not just the disaster itself, but the human cost—families grieving, survivors haunted, and investigators searching for answers. The narrative cleverly shifts through timelines, gradually revealing the truth behind what happened .What we discuss in this episodeJamie brings his deep maritime knowledge to the conversation, helping unpack the realism behind the show and the real-life events that inspired it.Expect discussion on:The accuracy of the ship's portrayal and conditions onboardThe political and institutional pressures surrounding the disasterThemes of accountability, secrecy, and systemic failureThe emotional impact on victims, families, and investigatorsHow the series builds tension across its five-episode structureThe conversation also explores how the show handles complex topics like blame and cover-ups, with particular attention to how institutions may shift responsibility rather than confront systemic issues .Why this series stands outHeweliusz isn't just another disaster drama—it's a slow-burn investigation into truth, responsibility, and memory. The series balances technical realism with emotional storytelling, making it both informative and deeply affecting.Jamie highlights how the show captures the reality of maritime disasters, from ship conditions to decision-making under pressure, while also pointing listeners to further resources for a deeper understanding of the tragedy.About our guest: Jamie – Old Shipping LinesJamie runs the Old Shipping Lines YouTube channel, where he explores maritime history, ship disasters, and detailed breakdowns of real-world incidents. His content includes in-depth analysis and even visual reconstructions of how disasters unfolded.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about the concept that the reason you're not more successful than you are is because your intelligence and intellect is not choosing your actions. John mentions in this podcast that he is writing a new book called advanced leadership of self. He's establishing the academic discipline of the emerging field advanced leadership of self. With the intention of making the University of Texas the global leader in advanced leadership of self.John mentions that he is writing the book in conjunction with AI. It's a fascinating process. But in the podcast John mentions the most profound thing he ever learned is that up to 95% of his daily actions are unconscious. And since they are unconscious, his conscious mind intelligence and intellect is not controlling his daily actions. Yet those daily actions are the very thing that determines his success. In the podcast John talks about University of California researcher Benjamin Libit. And the experiment he did in the 1980s that proved that a person takes an action first and then a few milliseconds later becomes conscious of it.The implications of that for a driven person determined to be successful is huge. And John says that the turning point in his life was dispelling the false belief that he controlled his daily actions. As the podcast is wrapping up, John and Kelly end with a profound thought. Working harder is like stepping on the gas with the parking brake on. If you are not leading yourself deliberately and intelligently with a system.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.

Most people spend their lives trying to understand who they are through achievement, performance, personality labels, or external validation yet still feel disconnected from themselves underneath it all.Executive coach and Vedic wisdom teacher Vish Chatterji explores the hidden relationship between consciousness, karma, leadership, and identity through the lens of Jyotish, the ancient science of Vedic astrology. What begins as skepticism from an engineer and MBA-trained executive evolves into a deeper exploration of self-awareness, emotional patterns, and soul-level alignment.Together they explore the difference between Western astrology and Vedic astrology, why so many leaders feel emotionally fragmented despite outward success, and how ancient systems can illuminate the hidden tensions we carry into work, relationships, and personal growth. Vish reframes astrology not as fate, but as a tool for consciousness; one that helps people recognize their strengths, karmic patterns, and deeper nature beneath ego and performance.Together, Amy and Vish reflect on intuition, manifestation, karmic debt, leadership, and the emotional freedom that can emerge when we stop resisting difficult experiences and begin seeing meaning inside them.At its core, this episode is an invitation to move beyond self-improvement as performance and toward a more conscious relationship with ourselves, our choices, and the lives we're creating.Moments That Create Momentum:When Achievement Stops Answering Deeper Questions – Explore why so many high performers continue searching for meaning, identity, and fulfillment long after external success arrives.The Gap Between Ego and Authentic Self – Discover how ancient wisdom traditions describe the tension between who we've learned to become and who we actually are underneath performance and survival.Why Leaders Keep Searching for Personality Frameworks – From Myers-Briggs to Vedic astrology, the episode explores humanity's deeper desire to feel understood beyond roles, titles, and productivity.Karma as Emotional and Relational Accountability – Reframing karma not as punishment, but as an energetic balancing process that shapes relationships, conflict, growth, and healing.The Danger of Outsourcing Inner Authority – A nuanced reflection on predictions, intuition, and why discernment matters when seeking guidance, certainty, or spiritual insight.About the Guest:Vish Chatterji is an East-meets-West executive coach, Vedic wisdom teacher, and author who helps people find deeper alignment and meaning in their work through the traditions of Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda, Vedic Philosophy, and Jyotish (Vedic Astrology). After a successful career as an engineer, executive, and entrepreneur, he now leads the global coaching practice Head & Heart Insights and serves as a Faculty Coach and Educator for the Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute at UC Berkeley.He holds degrees from Northwestern University and the University of Michigan, along with an executive coaching certification from UC Berkeley, and has studied in traditional Himalayan ashrams and at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing.

The result is a unique platform that is changing the way divorced parents communicate.If you struggle with difficult co-parenting conversations, emotional triggers, or constant conflict, this episode offers practical insights and a glimpse into how technology may help reduce stress during one of life's most challenging transitions.Sol shares:• Why communication becomes so difficult after divorce• The emotional toll of high-conflict co-parenting• How toxic messages impact mental health and decision making• The story behind the creation of the BestInterest app• How AI can help filter conflict and reduce emotional triggers• Protecting your peace while still effectively co-parenting• Why self-love and healing remain essential after divorceAbout the Guest:Sol Kennedy is a former Google product manager, a devoted dad, and the founder of BestInterest—the AI co-parenting app endorsed by Dr. Ramani.

I had such a great conversation with Gina Cotner, founder and CEO of Athena Executive Services, and I have a feeling this one is going to hit home for a lot of you.If you have ever told yourself, it is just easier to do it myself, you are in good company. I have said that more times than I can count. But Gina made me see that the resistance we feel around delegation is not really about the task. It is about trust, and trust is built through relationship.Gina started Athena Executive Services 10 years ago after a somewhat unexpected path that led her from being an executive assistant herself to building a firm that now pairs high-caliber, US-based virtual executive assistants with busy entrepreneurs and executives across the country. She now runs the whole operation in about 10 hours a week, and she is living proof that when you delegate well and lead with genuine care for the people around you, you get your life back.What I loved most about this conversation was how Gina connected the dots between delegation and accountability. Most of us think of those as two separate challenges. Gina sees them as deeply linked, and the thread running through both is the quality of the relationship.Key TakeawaysBetter done than perfect. The 80 percent rule is your friend. If someone can get a task 80 percent done while you focus on something else, that is a win worth taking.When you delegate, make it theirs. Gina's approach is to hand over the outcome, not the steps. Tell someone where you want to end up and then ask, what do you need from me? That simple shift puts the thinking where it belongs.Relationship is what makes accountability possible. The richer your background of connection with someone, the easier it is to hold them to their commitments without it feeling like an attack. Gina puts it simply: you are addressing their actions, not them as a person.Ask what, not anything. The word what opens a conversation. The word anything shuts it down. Swapping one for the other changes the quality of every check-in you have with your team.Start somewhere, even small. You do not need a full executive assistant to begin delegating. Make a list of the rote tasks you do every week and find one thing to hand off. Even one hour of relief matters.You can find Gina at: athenaexecutiveservices.com or on LinkedIn at: www.linkedin.com/in/athenaeaIn 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.

Most relationships do not end because two people suddenly stop loving each other. More often, relationships slowly become disconnected through repeated misunderstandings, emotional triggers, unresolved resentment, and communication patterns that quietly erode trust over time.In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder welcomes back Nancy Perpall to discuss her new book, The Malnourished Marriage, and the powerful food metaphor she uses to explain what relationships truly need to survive and thrive.After more than three decades as a divorce attorney, Nancy shares why she shifted her focus from helping people end marriages to helping couples better understand how relationships break down in the first place. Drawing from both science and real-world experience, she explains how the early dopamine-driven stage of relationships often blinds people to issues that later become major points of conflict once everyday life takes over.The conversation explores the emotional “nutrients” that relationships require, including communication, trust, compromise, intimacy, laughter, and emotional safety. Nancy explains why communication functions like water in a relationship and how words can either flow or crash depending on how people approach difficult conversations.Together, they also unpack the role childhood core wounds play in adult relationships and why people often unknowingly trigger each other's deepest insecurities during moments of stress or conflict. Rather than viewing compromise as weakness, Nancy reframes it as compassion and understanding for another person's perspective.Nancy highlights how:• Early relationship chemistry often masks incompatibilities and unresolved issues• Communication can either create connection or intensify emotional damage, depending on how words are used• Childhood core wounds frequently influence adult relationship dynamics and conflict patterns• Compromise is not weakness but compassion for another person's perspective• Laughter, playfulness, and emotional intimacy are essential parts of long-term relationship healthAbout the Guest:Nancy Perpall began her professional career as a critical care nurse. Dedicated to instituting better patient outcomes she contributed to a textbook, Advanced Concepts In Clinical Nursing (J.B. Lippincott). However, to get the rural hospital she was working at to accept those protocols she was told that since she was not a doctor, who were the only ones who could change protocols, she should go to law school since "people listen to lawyers". As a nurse-attorney, Nancy has appeared on radio shows, podcasts, and TV and has published extensively.To connect with Nancy: Website: https://nancyperpall.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancyperpall/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 that attaining success is not about working harder. Without sounding cliché, it's about working smarter. Both John and Kelly were blessed to take their own personal annual income to over $1 million a year by working smarter. More specifically, understanding how the human mind works. Appreciating that one's daily actions determine their success in each area of their lives. But the majority of their daily actions, up to 95%, are unconscious. Therefore they had to gain control over their unconscious daily actions. That in a nutshell is what working smarter is all about.And here's a great saying to appreciate. Working harder is like stepping on the accelerator when the parking brake is on if you're not leading yourself deliberately and intelligently with a system. John also mentions another powerful saying. That you don't rise to the level of your goals, you sink to the level of your systems. During this podcast John and Kelly also talk about the nuances of using AI. And how transformative it is. And as we said last time, the gap between the 2% in the 98% is widening. Because at two factors. The 2% have a system for intentionally leading themselves and the 98% don't. Also the 2% is embracing AI thoroughly and completely, whereas the 98% is just dabbling with it.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.

What happens when success becomes a performance of survival instead of a reflection of alignment? Gina Cavalier joins Amy for a deeply vulnerable conversation about workplace burnout, emotional masking, suicidal ideation, nervous system overwhelm, and the hidden cost of carrying unresolved trauma into high-pressure professional environments. After years working inside demanding entertainment industry spaces with Warner Brothers, Disney, Fox, and Netflix, Gina began recognizing how achievement, perfectionism, and emotional suppression were disconnecting her from herself. Together they explore executive presence, energetic awareness, self-love, grounding practices, leadership identity, and the emotional exhaustion that comes from constantly “holding it together.” The conversation moves through healing, regulation, creativity, self-worth, and the possibility of creating a life rooted less in survival and more in freedom.

Divorce and heartbreak often leave people asking one difficult question: what now? While many rush toward the next relationship hoping to escape loneliness or pain, others begin realizing that healing, self-awareness, and personal growth may be the most important work they can do before starting over again.In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder speaks with Lionel Moses about relationships, identity, emotional healing, and the concept of “purposeful singleness.”After experiencing two divorces himself, Lionel shares how he stopped viewing divorce as failure and instead began using those experiences as opportunities for deeper self-reflection and growth. Rather than focusing only on relationship theory or surface-level advice, the conversation explores the practical realities of learning who you are outside of a relationship and why so many people unknowingly repeat unhealthy patterns when they avoid doing that work.Together, they discuss the difference between simply being single and intentionally using singleness as a season for healing, growth, and honest self-assessment. Lionel explains how many people spend years studying their partners while never truly learning themselves, which often leads to people pleasing, emotional exhaustion, and relationships built around performance rather than authenticity.Mardi and Lionel share how:• Purposeful singleness creates space for healing, reflection, and self-discovery after divorce• Many people enter relationships knowing their partner better than they know themselves• Healing after divorce requires honesty, intentionality, and emotional self-awareness• Relationship patterns often repeat when people avoid processing pain from previous relationships• Gender expectations and societal roles still impact modern relationships in significant waysAbout the Guest:Lionel Moses stands out because he combines his real-world experience with a passion for teaching the 'heart of rediscovery.' He offers pragmatic, relationship-focused strategies and levity techniques to boost morale and self-identity, drawing from his personal 'aha moment' about the power of connection.For Lionel's gift: https://www.themarriageseed.com/ Discount Code: DSHIFT15To connect with Lionel: Website: https://www.lionelmoses.com/ Website: https://www.themarriageseed.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068053150680About 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 have wanted to have this conversation for a while, and I am so glad we finally made it happen.Andrew Allen is someone I have known for years. I remember watching him perform at a backyard concert in Richmond, BC, long before keynote stages were part of his story. Even then, there was something about him that was different. He was not just performing. He was connecting.Today, Andrew is a multi-platinum singer-songwriter with five top ten hits who has toured with Bruno Mars, OneRepublic, and Train. But what really caught my attention recently was his newsletter, and the framework he has been quietly building called The HYDA Theory - How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything. It is part diagnostic, part motivation tool, and it is changing how people think about character, results, and the way they show up in every area of their life.What I love most about this conversation is that Andrew does not separate the music from the message. They are the same thing. His whole life has been a masterclass in connection, resilience, and intentional choice, and he brings all of it onto the stage.Key TakeawaysYour results reveal your character. Not your intentions, not your habits, not your goals. Your results. They do not lie, and once you understand that, everything changes.Character is trainable. Andrew makes a powerful case that instead of chasing better habits or better outcomes, the real work starts one level deeper, at the level of character. And the good news is that character can be developed.How you do the small things is how you do the big things. The dishes, the email reply, the way you show up when no one is watching, these are not trivial. They are your character in action.Music creates space to process. Andrew explains why blending live music into a keynote is not just entertaining, it gives audiences a moment to breathe, reflect, and let the message land in a different way.We control our responses, not our circumstances. One of the most moving parts of this conversation is Andrew's story about a childhood tragedy that shaped his decision to pursue life with everything he had. It is a reminder that we do not control everything, but we do control how we respond.Check out Andrew's work (past and present) here: https://www.andrewallenlive.com/Speaker reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsWANm7ZtoU My favourite Andrew Allen song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxYQsO53qHI&list=RDLxYQsO53qHI&start_radio=1In 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.
