Talent is everywhere. Opportunity isn't.In the first full episode of Care More's next chapter, host Kristan Bush, CEO & Co-founder at Performance Paradigm, sits down with Jayney Howson, Chief Learning Officer at ServiceNow. Two learning leaders trading honest notes on what it actually takes to empower people to be human at work while everything around them changes.Kristan opens with the shift she keeps circling back to: as AI absorbs the technical work, the real differentiator left over is human — how you think, how you read a room, how you lead when the plan breaks down. Jayney takes it further into ServiceNow's "human advantage" framework and issues a challenge to every leader listening: stop layering AI onto old roles and redesign the work itself.From there it opens all the way up:Why AI is a chance to make learning more human, not lessCo-creating change so people feel invested instead of managed, and the psychological safety that makes it possibleThe surprising power of constraint, and choosing "channels of information" over "channels of communication"Curiosity, cognitive offloading, and protecting the human muscles we're quietly letting degradeLeading with an ounce more courage than fear, and what Jayney's cancer survivorship taught her about gratitude and braveryHigh care and high expectations and Kristan's throughline that performance, like belonging, is an outcome you create the conditions for, never the starting pointIt's a conversation about learning. But really, it's two people insisting on the thing Performance Paradigm was built on: that humans are extraordinary, and our job is to build the conditions where people can thrive authentically.

Your toddler snatches a toy. The daycare flags it. Another mom clocks it at a playdate. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a question starts to form: is something wrong with him?Nothing is. He's just being asked to do something he isn't built for - yet.In this episode, I break down the real difference between turn-taking and sharing — two skills that get talked about like they're the same thing, but develop on completely different timelines.You'll learn:Why turn-taking can start as early as 12 months — long before real sharing is even possibleThe honest age-by-age timeline for when turn-taking, and eventually sharing, actually shows up (it's later than most people think)Why genuine sharing doesn't reliably emerge until somewhere after your child's third birthdayHow to use the Three P's from episode 161 to build this skill at homeWhy what gets called "bad behavior" is often just a brain still under constructionThis one also gets personal. Almost forty years into this work, I share what the last three decades have actually taught me about the systems built to manage a room of toddlers — not to understand your individual child.New here? I'm Erin Hyer, a speech-language pathologist, with almost forty years working with toddlers and the families raising them. This episode builds on episode 161 (The Three P's) and episode 162 (Joint Attention) — you don't need to have heard those first, but they'll fill in the fuller picture.Grab the FREE one-page Turn-Taking & Sharing TimelineNext week - episode 164 - we'll sort through why some toddlers can settle in and focus - while others can't get there at all — and it has a lot less to do with willpower or personality than you'd think.Helpful links:▶ Watch Talking Toddlers on YouTube:  Click HERE

Most nonfiction authors will never make real money from book sales — and if that's your plan, book marketing won't save you. In this episode of Your Path to Book Publishing, Zach Kristensen talks with Peter Winick, co-author of The Thought Leadership Handbook: How the Experts Elevate Their Big Ideas—and How You Can Too, about the business that should exist around your book — and why the smartest authors put on their CEO hat before they write a word.Peter has spent close to two decades helping thought leaders, academics, and nonfiction authors scale and monetize their ideas. He's blunt about what most authors get wrong: they confuse activity with productivity, build before they validate, and treat a book as the destination instead of one place their ideas live.In this episode, you'll learn:The hobby → practice → business progression, and why most experts are stuck in the middle tier without realizing itWhy your book isn't the revenue generator — and what actually isHow to pair your high-ticket, low-volume work (keynotes, coaching, consulting) with low-ticket offers you can sell at volumeWhy strategy has to come before building, and how clarity makes prioritization possibleThe four elements of thought leadership: core idea, content library, offerings, and platform identityPeter's counterintuitive advice to aspiring authors: don't write the book — with a very big asteriskThis is the third episode in our series on making your book stand out.Book Link: The Thought Leadership Handbook — https://amzn.to/4bx2D71Learn more about Your Path to Book Publishing by visiting Juxtabook.com  and discover if traditional publishing, self-publishing, or hybrid publishing is right for you. Liked this episode?

 What if the biggest obstacle between you and the life you want isn't your resources, your connections, or your strategy — but the story you've been living without questioning it? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with John Geraghty — executive coach, speaker, author of The Prism of Perspective, and founder of Courageous Authenticity — a man who has conducted over 30,000 strategic coaching sessions across 20 years with some of the highest-achieving business owners and executives in the country. And whose own most important transformation happened not in a boardroom, but in the battle against alcoholism — a battle that stripped away every borrowed story until only the truth remained. John's work is built on one foundational insight: our stories can empower us or they can limit us — they can open doors or create roadblocks to the lives we dream about. And the most successful leaders he's ever coached were often the ones most deeply imprisoned by stories they never consciously chose.  In this conversation, John and Maurice explore:What "the story" actually is — and how it ends up running your entire life without permissionJohn's personal transformation from alcoholism to building one of the country's most respected coaching practicesThe Prism of Perspective framework and why changing your view changes everythingWhy mature leaders are uniquely vulnerable to the limiting story — and uniquely capable of breaking freeWhat courageous authenticity demands of you — and what it makes possibleThe one question that unlocks every stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected leader This one is for every entrepreneur, leader, and dreamer who has ever wondered why they keep hitting the same ceiling — and suspected the answer might be closer than they thought. 

You already know what you need to do. This episode builds the structure that helps you actually do it.What You Will LearnWhy the traditional definition of consistency was never designed for your real life — and the more accurate, more empowering definition that replaces itThe critical distinction between consistency and intensity, and why confusing the two keeps driven people stuck in cycles instead of trajectoriesWhat consistency actually looks like for the entrepreneur building inside of a full life — the unglamorous, cumulative, irreplaceable versionThe compound effect of showing up small, and why the flat season before the breakthrough is not stagnation — it is accumulationThe four clauses of The Consistency Contract: the Non-Negotiable, the Floor, the Return Ritual, and the Visibility SystemWhy resentment after a missed commitment is almost always an identity story — and how the Return Ritual interrupts itThe direct, unbreakable connection between consistent action and the credibility that makes everything else in your business possibleThe framework introduced in this episode gives  four concrete building blocks for developing genuine consistency: Clause One: Define Your Non-NegotiableIdentify the single practice that, if honored consistently, moves your vision forward more than anything else. Specificity is everything here. Not a category — a commitment. Clause Two: Set the Floor, Not the CeilingEstablish the minimum viable version of your non-negotiable — the version you can honor on your hardest day. A floor maintained is infinitely more valuable than a ceiling reached twice and then abandoned. Clause Three: Build the Return RitualDecide in advance how you will come back after an interruption — without self-flagellation, without grand recommitment ceremonies, and without waiting for the perfect re-entry moment. The return ritual removes the drama from the inevitable miss. Clause Four: Make Consistency VisibleCreate a system that gives you evidence of your own showing up. Visible consistency becomes proof. Proof becomes identity. And identity — the belief that you are someone who shows up — becomes the most durable motivation available.

Friendship apps have a reputation for being awkward. They're "not how real friendships happen.” But what if that's not true?When Hayleigh Hayhurst moved to Seattle knowing almost no one, she found herself craving deeper connection and a stronger support system. Instead of waiting for friendships to happen organically, she decided to try Bumble BFF — and ended up meeting some of her closest friends!Hayleigh talks about what it's like to go on friend dates, why friendship rejection can feel more personal than romantic rejection, and how to move conversations off the apps into real life.If you've considered downloading a friendship app or simply want more meaningful friendships in your life, this episode is for you.In this episode you'll hear about:Why adult friendships work better when you get to an in-person meetup as quickly as possibleThe surprisingly specific filters Hayleigh used when looking for friends, including relationship status and lifestyleHow searching for a “neighborhood friend” changed Hayleigh's experience of living in a city far from familyWhy borrowing a partner's social circle isn't the same as building your own support systemWhy Hayleigh was more nervous to go on a friend date than a romantic date, and what convinced her to try anywayEpisode 52: How To Build Community When You Don't Know Where to StartEpisode 162: Why Getting to Know Your Neighbors Matters Right Now This episode is sponsored by Slowly, a digital pen pal app used by over 10 million people worldwide.

This is how you scale a contracting business without burning yourself out.Sam Wakefield and Doug C. Brown just became business partners. Sam's been training contractors on sales and systems for years. Doug took Tony Robbins' sales team from seventeen point eight percent close rates to forty-three point two percent in four months. He's worked with ClickFunnels, E-Myth, and dozens of trades companies.When they combined forces? Exponential results.In this episode, you'll see exactly how we scaled a plumbing business from forty-five thousand dollars per month to one hundred fifty thousand dollars per month in ninety days. That's three times revenue in a quarter. But here's where it gets good. When Doug looked at the numbers, he cut the plumber's expenses in half. Then we added process around everything. And within two and a half weeks into the month, this guy had his best sales day, best sales week, and was on track for his best month ever.That's revenue growth plus expense reduction plus process improvement happening at the same time.How We Scaled This Plumbing Business:Step one: revenue growth through sales training and systems. Step two: expense restructuring and profit optimization. Step three: process implementation around everything. Result: triple the revenue in ninety days, cut expenses in half, best month ever by week two point five.The Formula:Money in minus money out equals result. That result equals the owner's quality of life. If you improve both sides of that equation at the same time, you transform the owner's life.Key Teaching Points:Why most contractors build the business on their own backHow to get it off your back through process and systemsThe axiom: success happens at the speed of implementationNinety percent of your time should be spent selling when growing to your first millionBut selling at a profit, that's the differenceSam's strength: revenue growth, sales frameworks, communicationDoug's strength: expense reduction, profit margins, process, efficiencyTogether: exponential growth contractors never thought possibleThe right tool at the right time, why most people fail with softwareMost contractors buy wrong tools at the wrong time or right tools at the wrong timeSoftware doesn't fix broken business fundamentalsNo magic bullets in businessDigitized follow-ups and AI call centers are distractions if the timing is wrongWhy random tools and software waste contractor's moneySame concepts apply whether you're two hundred K or two hundred million in revenueBut your focus changes at each stageRussell Brunson was Doug's student at Tony Robbins before ClickFunnelsDoug's credentials: Tony Robbins, ClickFunnels mentor, E-Myth, trades companiesRevenue growth without profit improvement equals owner crushedProfit improvement without revenue growth equals leaving money on the tableYou need both at the same time with proper processThe synergy of growing revenue, cutting expenses, and adding systems simultaneouslyReal Results from This Episode:Virginia plumber, forty-five thousand dollars per month in sales. After ninety days with Sam's training, one hundred fifty thousand dollars per month. Then Doug restructured the expenses, cut them in half. Then we added process. Week two point five into the month, best sales day ever, best week ever, best month ever.

What actually separates people who build lasting wealth from everyone else? Not the tips. Not the apps. The habits. Joe put the question to a panel of financial planners, coaches, and bloggers -- and turned it into a game. Seven habits, three rounds, two points up for grabs. Monica Scudieri, who paid off $257,000 in debt and reached financial independence in 10 years, joined OG and Jesse Cramer to find out how well the conventional wisdom matches what actually works.What You'll Walk Away WithThe seven millionaire habits Kiplinger identified -- and which ones the panel nailed, missed, and argued aboutWhy continuously educating yourself about money remains one of the highest-leverage habits at any income levelThe networking truth wealthy people understand that most people don't -- and why "who not how" changes everything about how you approach your career and financesMonica's story: how she turned a divorce, $257,000 in debt, and three rounds of unemployment into financial independence in a decadeWhy living below your means isn't about deprivation -- it's about creating the margin that makes every other habit possibleThe pay yourself first argument that actually holds up when your budget is genuinely tightWhy OG thinks waking up early is the worst advice in personal finance -- and what he thinks actually matters insteadThe book recommendations that shaped each panelist's financial philosophy -- including a deep dive on why passive investing still winsWhy diversifying your income streams landed on the millionaire habits list -- and what that looks like in practiceThe complete list of seven habits, revealed at the end -- including the two the panel never guessedWhy This Matters NowMillionaire habits get discussed constantly and followed inconsistently. The gap isn't usually knowledge -- it's the unsexy reality that these habits have to run in the background for years before the results become visible. This roundtable is worth listening to not because the list is surprising, but because the people talking about it have actually lived it.From the BasementJoe, OG, Jesse Cramer, and Monica Scudieri from Grab Your Slice play two rounds of the millionaire habits game while the year-long trivia competition quietly shifts -- Monica guesses closest on a 1940 McDonald's complete meal price and earns Paula Pant's first point in a while. OG extends his lead. Jesse goes 0 for the day and seems fine about it. Doug intervenes on the trivia question to add a milkshake, which turns out to be decisive.Resources MentionedGrab Your Slice of Financial Independence by Monica Scudieri -- available wherever books are soldMonica Scudieri financial coaching -- schedule a free 30-minute call at grabyourslice.comPersonal Finance for Long-Term Investors -- Jesse Cramer's podcast, wherever you listen; upcoming two-part series on the 14 risks retirees faceAutomatic Wealth by Michael Masterson -- recommended by Monica as her foundational bookA Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel -- recommended by JesseThe War of Art by Steven Pressfield and Essentialism by Greg McKeown -- recommended by OGThe Truth About Money by Ric Edelman -- recommended by JoeNetworking With the Affluent by Dr. Thomas Stanley -- referenced in discussionStacking Benjamins Vault -- stackingbenjamins.com/vaultStacking Benjamins Community -- stackingbenjamins.com/basementStacking Benjamins "Benjamins After Dark" Meetups -- stackingbenjamins.com/BADSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of the Play Bigger Podcast, I'm sharing one of the biggest mindset shifts entrepreneurs, agents, and high performers need right now. Why the people who win long term are not the ones chasing recognition… they're the ones committed to the reps.After watching history get made at the Kentucky Derby, where a woman trainer won for the very first time in 152 years, I couldn't stop thinking about what this really means for business, leadership, momentum, and breakthrough seasons.Because sometimes your next level isn't about learning more.It's about staying focused long enough to master what already works.If you've been feeling distracted, stuck, overwhelmed, bored, unclear about your next move, or questioning why things suddenly feel harder at this level… this episode is for you.I'm breaking down the deeper lessons behind success, pressure, focus, environment, and why what feels “impossible” might actually just be unfamiliar.Things I Cover In This Episode:Why reps matter more than recognitionThe hidden reason top producers lose momentumFocus vs. fake productivityWhy shiny object syndrome is costing entrepreneurs growthHow to stay mentally strong during slow seasonsWhy your “why” has to evolve as your business growsThe impact your environment has on your ceilingHow proximity changes your standards and resultsWhy impossible goals become available once someone proves them possibleThe mindset shifts needed to finish strong in business and lifeThis episode is a reminder that breakthrough moments don't happen overnight. They happen because someone stayed in the race long enough.Your next breakthrough might be one decision, one room, or one focused season away.Keep Playing Bigger.---

Recorded live on-site at GDC, host Peggy Anne Salz sits down with Justin Graysmark, founder of Eplay Studios, to unpack the unlikely path from teaching English in Poland to building a portfolio of 25 competitive games and driving 2 million installs on the Skillz platform.Justin didn't come into games through the usual route. He started with a love of competitive trivia, a serious winning streak on the leaderboard and the conviction that real rewards could make skill-based games even more compelling. In 2016, that spark became Eplay Studios.What followed was not overnight success. It was persistence, testing, missed shots, hard lessons and a lot of getting back up.As Justin puts it, game development has plenty in common with martial arts: you get your butt kicked, you learn, you try again. That mindset helped him move from early misses to games players actually wanted to play.In this episode, Peggy and Justin get into:How Justin turned a competitive trivia habit into a full-time indie studioWhy fairness, balance and trust are make-or-break in real-money competitive gamesWhat 25 games and 2 million installs taught him about working backward from the playerHow Skillz helped Eplay focus on gameplay while handling matchmaking, payments and competitive infrastructureWhy the Skillz and Beamable combination gives small studios more tools to build, test and iterate fasterWhy Justin started sharing his journey on YouTube to show other developers that success is possibleThe big takeaway: competitive games are not won by one great idea. They are built through persistence, player feedback and the willingness to keep testing what flies and what fails.If you are building your first game, your tenth or your next shot at something bigger, Justin's story is a reminder not to give up too early. In his words: “When you stick with it long enough, that's where the magic happens.”Chapters00:00 – Martial Arts Discipline00:38 – An Unconventional Path02:54 – Starting Eplay Studios04:17 – Milestone: 2 Million Installs05:27 – The Importance of Fairness06:31 – Infrastructure for Small Studios08:02 – The Skillz/Beamable Bundle09:21 – Documenting the Journey11:07 – Future of Competitive VR12:45 – Advice: Don't Stop EarlyLet's Connect

Estranged parents carry a grief that doesn't fit any of the containers we have for it. It's not the grief of death. It doesn't come with rituals or recognition. And much of the world around them doesn't know how to hold it or quietly questions whether they have a right to it at all.In this episode of The Estranged Heart podcast, Kreed names a specific and often unspoken layer of that grief: the grief for the potential. Not the relationship you had with your adult child - the one you always believed was coming. The closeness that was supposed to develop. The grandmother you expected to become. The years ahead that had your child fully in them.In This EpisodeWhy estrangement grief doesn't fit our existing containers for loss and why that makes it harder to move throughWhat "grieving the potential" means for estranged parents: the specific futures that were lost, not just the relationship that exists nowThe particular grief of estranged mothers - including the grandmother grief that is often the most acute and least witnessedAnticipatory grief in the estranged parent experience: what it means to live in sustained, unresolved loss when reconciliation is still theoretically possibleThe grief of not being chosen - one of the most tender and least-named layers of the estranged parent experienceHow the "they'll come back eventually" narrative can become a way of skipping grief rather than sustaining hope - and why that mattersPractical guidance for how to actually grieve the potential, including why specific grief moves where vague grief stays stuckChapters00:00 Introduction to Estrangement Grief06:36 Understanding Potential Grief12:10 Anticipatory Grief and Its Impact14:35 What This Grief Is Not17:11 The Grief of Not Being Chosen21:39 Navigating Grief and Hope23:53 Practical Steps to Grieve Potential26:14 Finding Wholeness Beyond GriefResources & SupportFacebook Support Group for Estranged Moms (facilitated by Kreed) - https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroupOne-on-One ServicesPrivate coachingConsultingMediation servicesConnect with Kreed:Website: theestrangedheart.comEmail: hello@theestrangedheart.comSupport the work: Buy Me a Coffee (donation platform)Disclaimer: Kreed Revere is not a licensed therapist.

We finish the Ten Commandments with a shift from behavior to the heart.In Exodus 20:15–17, God addresses stealing, lying, and coveting—but underneath all three is a deeper issue: discontentment. This message unpacks how discontentment drives what we take, how we twist truth, and what we desire—and why a society can't truly flourish unless the heart itself is transformed.But this isn't just about what we avoid. It's about what God is forming in us.Contentment isn't found in having more—it's found in trusting that, in Christ, we already have enough.In this sermon, we explore:• Why discontentment leads to breakdown in individuals and communities• How coveting is the root behind so many outward sins• What Scripture teaches about true contentment• How Jesus perfectly fulfilled what we never could—and makes a new way possibleThe call isn't “try harder.”It's to come to Christ, where real contentment begins.

Let me be real with you for a second, the word "differentiation" has a bit of a reputation problem.For most teachers, hearing it conjures up images of three separate lesson versions, colour-coded ability groups, and a to-do list that never ends. No wonder it sends a shudder up your spine.But here's the thing: that version of differentiation? It's not what I'm talking about. And it's not what's actually going to help your students, or you.This is Part 2 of my differentiation series, and today I'm giving you a front seat to what differentiation actually looks like when it's done in a way that's realistic, sustainable, and genuinely effective. We're busting the biggest myths, reframing the whole concept, and I'm walking you through my Differentiation Toolbox, the strategies I actually use to embed adaptive learning into lessons, not on top of them.If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, I'd recommend starting there, because it sets up the whole behaviour-learning link that makes this episode make sense.But if you're ready to stop feeling guilty about differentiation and start actually doing it? You're in exactly the right place.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the way we've been taught to differentiate is setting us up to fail — and what to do insteadThe biggest misconceptions teachers have about differentiation (and why they're holding us back)What "true differentiation" — or adaptive teaching — actually looks like in practiceWhy differentiation needs to be hardwired into your lesson design, not added on afterwardsThe ladder analogy that reframes scaffolding in the most practical way possibleThe tools inside Claire's Differentiation Toolbox: scaffolding, success criteria, learning maps, starter activities, visible learning, and moreHow one lesson can meet every student at their level — without creating multiple versions of anythingWhat's coming up in Part 3 of the series (spoiler: it's all about scaffolding and modelling in detail)Resources mentioned:The Behaviour Club — differentiation training + 50+ Canva scaffold templates: https://www.theunteachables.com.au/tbcHave a question, comment, or just want to say hello?

Are You Accepted by God Even When You Feel Unworthy?───Do you struggle to believe that God truly accepts you—despite your failures, your shame, your worst moments? Many believers know they're forgiven, but live as if they're still on the outside looking in, unworthy of God's love. Today's devotion strips away that lie and reveals one of Scripture's most liberating truths: your acceptance before God has nothing to do with you and everything to do with Christ. You are made accepted in the Beloved—fully redeemed, completely forgiven, and deeply loved according to the riches of His grace.Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 1:6–7 (KJV) to show you what it truly means to be accepted in Christ and how that transforms the way you live, worship, and surrender to God.───In This Episode:Why you are not acceptable in yourself—and why that's actually good newsWhat it means to be "accepted in the Beloved"—and how Christ makes that possibleThe cost of your acceptance: Jesus paid it all; you paid nothingPropitiation, redemption, and forgiveness—what these words mean for you todayHow acceptance in Christ becomes a lifestyle of worship and surrenderWhy a surrendered life always brings glory to GodPractical steps to live as if you're fully accepted, even when your feelings say otherwisePassages explored: Ephesians 1:6–7 | Romans 3:24–25 | Philemon 1:17 | Matthew 3:16–17 (all KJV)───Key Scripture:"To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." — Ephesians 1:6 (KJV)───Watch / Listen:https://youtu.be/Xim_2FMrBIkContinue the series: Words From The Word — All Spiritual Blessings: A Devotional Journey Through Ephesians (KJV)───Share this episode with someone who needs to know they are fully accepted in Christ—right now, exactly as they are.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #AcceptedInChrist #Grace #GodsLove

He built a successful practice — and it was quietly destroying your life.That's exactly where Stanley C. Leong found himself a decade ago. Making $600K in revenue, working nights and weekends, falling asleep on the floor while his daughters played around him. On paper, everything looked great. In reality, the business was running him.Today, Stanley averages 34 hours a week, takes every Friday off, and hit $2 million in revenue last year — roughly triple what he was making when he was burning out. He's now channeling what he learned into 52 Fridays, a one-on-one coaching program he co-founded with fellow advisor Darian Tong to help other financial advisors do the same.About Stanley C.  Leong Stanley Leong is a practicing financial advisor and co-founder of 52 Fridays Coaching. He began his career as an engineer before spending 24 years in financial services, building a specialized practice serving technology professionals. Stanley holds a $1 million minimum and runs a lean, efficient practice that he uses as a living proof of concept for everything he teaches. He trained with the Machado brothers — the same instructors who trained Keanu Reeves for the John Wick films.What We CoverHow Stanley went from $600K and completely burned out to $2M working half the hours — and what actually made that possibleThe jiu-jitsu analogy that explains why busy advisors can't grow: when you're in survival mode, you can't think strategicallyThe 52 Fridays Framework: Focus (individual efficiency), Structure (team efficiency), and Clarity (practice efficiency) — and the ~50 strategies inside themWhy defining a niche is the single highest-leverage efficiency move most advisors aren't making — and why it makes you more attractive even to people outside your target marketHow a more efficient practice actually improves client experience — less falls through the cracks, and you have the bandwidth to go the extra mileStanley's journey to confidently turning away prospects who don't meet his $1M minimum — and the scripts that make those conversations workResources MentionedAtomic Habits by James ClearBook Yourself Solid by Michael PortFinancial Advisor Success Podcast by Michael KitcesLimitless Advisors — coaching program by Stephanie BoganCEG Worldwide — coaching program by John BowenConnect with Stanley Leong

In this episode, I sit down with Helena Vissing—a licensed psychologist based in California, educator at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and host on the New Books in Psychoanalysis podcast.What unfolds is a wide-ranging and deeply honest conversation at the intersection of psychoanalysis and somatic therapy—two fields that often sit in tension, but, as Helena argues, may actually need each other more than we think.We explore the limits of both traditions: the risk of reducing the body to “nervous system tinkering,” and the equal risk within psychoanalysis of losing the body altogether. Along the way, we wrestle with the mind-body problem, the unconscious, and what it might mean to “free associate” not just through speech—but through sensation itself.This is also a personal conversation. I share my own resistance to somatic work, my tendency to live as a “brain on legs,” and the deeper questions that raises about embodiment, knowledge, and the illusion of mastery.We get into:Why both psychoanalysis and somatics can drift toward false certaintyThe danger of treating therapy as a problem to solve rather than something to encounterIntegration vs. multiplicity—and whether a unified self is even possibleThe role of not-knowing in both analytic and somatic workAnd how the body may be present even in its absenceThis is less a definitive statement and more an opening—a conversation that stays with the tension rather than resolving it.

Following her conversation with Shari Thompson, Anna shares practical reflections on supporting someone through a mental health crisis. Speaking from lived experience rather than clinical expertise, she explores how to show up steadily when someone you care about is struggling.Why professional support should be sought where possibleThe importance of listening rather than fixingHow to “sit in the mud” with someone without getting pulled underWhy “reach out if you need me” isn't always enoughBeing specific and proactive in your supportRegulating your own nervous system while helping someone elsePresence Over SolutionsOften, someone in crisis simply needs to be heard. Reflect their experience back to them without escalating or trying to immediately solve it.Proactive Support MattersInstead of broad check-ins, ask specific questions. Instead of waiting for permission, take gentle action. Consistency helps someone feel less alone.Put Your Oxygen Mask On FirstSupporting someone can dysregulate you. Slow your breathing. Lengthen your exhales.

What if miracles aren't mystical, they're scientific?Dr. Larry Farwell is a Harvard-trained neuroscientist selected by TIME Magazine to the TIME 100 Top Innovators of the Century—"the Picassos or Einsteins of the 21st Century." The son of a Manhattan Project physicist, he has advised President George W. Bush on counter-terrorism, freed innocent people from prison using brain fingerprinting technology, and has worked with the FBI and CIA worldwide. Now he's devoted his life to answering one question: Can we scientifically prove that consciousness creates reality?The answer changed everything he thought he knew about human potential.In this episode, Dr. Larry shares the laboratory experiments that proved humans can shift "impossible" probability distributions using consciousness alone—and how you can apply these same principles to create miraculous outcomes in your own life.What You'll Discover:Why quantum physics proves your "impossible" dreams are actually scientifically possibleThe near-death experience that revealed the secret mechanics of manifestationWhat "murmur moments" are and how your brain opens for transformation during triggersThe counterintuitive reason why trying harder keeps you stuck on the surfaceHow to use the "Alien Robot Report" to defuse any emotional trigger in secondsThe three questions that instantly reveal whether a situation actually threatens youWhy clarity of feeling matters more than specificity of outcome when manifestingThe simple daily practice Dr. Larry uses to stay grounded amid chaos and dangerYour Invitation:You already possess the same conscious unified field that creates galaxies. The question isn't whether you can create miracles—it's whether you'll learn how.Know yourself. Be yourself. Love yourself.Science says you're more powerful than you've ever imagined.

In this episode, we break down how money actually moves in the insurance-based PT and OT world, why so many clinicians and clinic owners feel financially stuck, and how the landscape has quietly but dramatically changed over the last 20 years.We cover:How insurance companies make money — and why they're incentivized to pay out as little as possibleThe reality of declining reimbursement and rising administrative costsWhy clinic owners feel squeezed from both sidesWhy clinicians deserve raises — and why insurance doesn't support that realityHow this system unintentionally pushes clinics toward lower-quality care modelsMost importantly, we talk about why the rise of cash-based care isn't a trend — it's a correction.Cash-based models:Allow small, independent clinics to survive and thrive againCreate real earning upside for skilled cliniciansRestore transparency and accountability in careExist in every healthcare system — including countries with universal healthcareThis episode isn't about villainizing anyone. It's about understanding the system we're operating in — so we can make better, more informed decisions about our careers, our clinics, and our patients.

This is Part 2 of my annual indoor playground and play café industry trends episode — a series I've released every single year since 2019.Part 1 focused on business design and planning.Part 2 is about operations, systems, and the decisions owners are making behind the scenes that will quietly determine who is still standing in 3–5 years.These aren't “ideas to try.” These are structural shifts happening right now inside profitable, sustainable play businesses. And if you miss them They're expensive to fix later.In this episode, I break down the operational and ownership trends shaping 2026, including:Why owners are stepping back earlier — and how systems (not hustle) are making it possibleThe rise of businesses designed to function without the owner presentWhy you cannot out-market a broken layout, bad flow, or poorly designed spaceHow intentional design decisions reduce staffing costs, customer friction, and burnoutWhy some owners are quietly cutting hours — and increasing profitThe shift toward making money during downtime, not just peak hoursHow smarter owners are evaluating revenue streams based on profitability and energy, not egoWhy “just add more offerings” is becoming a dangerous strategyThe growing gap between owners who track numbers weekly and those who “feel busy”How over-reliance on AI without real-world context is already costing new owners time and moneyRESOURCES MENTIONED:BLOG For This EpisodeLittle Play AvenueEpisode 105: Call Forwarding Systems To Better Customer ServiceEpisode 84: Making Money As A UGC CreatorEpisode 349: Business Sponsorships with Jayci from Tiny PlayEpisode 341: Lead Your Team Better in 2026Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyOTHER RESOURCES:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyGetting Started With Your Play Cafe [YouTube Video Playlist]What's Working In The Indoor Play Industry 2025 GuideFund Your Indoor Play Business [Free Training]Indoor Play Courses & 1:1 Consulting WaitlistMichele's InstagramMichele's WebsitePlay Cafe Academy YouTube ChannelETSY Template ShopPrepare Your Indoor Playground For a RecessionPlay Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com TOOLS & OTHER LINKS:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers Society: http://bit.ly/3HES7fDQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLivingActive Campaign Free TrialFree Demo of Aluvii All-In-One POS

Are you feeling pushed by responsibility or being pulled toward possibilities?Today is a special episode just for you. It is all about personal reflection on gratitude, growth, and the quiet signals that guide us to decide what comes next. From a meaningful “take your mom to work” experience to moments of physical and emotional endurance, this is an invitation to pause and notice what's been tugging at your heart.A Proud Mom Moment Recently, I joined my daughter at Define Private Training, where she is a lead instructor. Watching her lead a program built around individualized goals lights me up.Here are 3 Leadership Lessons I learned from watching her:Leadership starts with planning: Thoughtful preparation creates a better experience for everyone.The best leaders exemplify empathy: Being aware, reading strengths, and meeting each woman exactly where she is creates progress.Great facilitators make it feel effortless: Coaching form, managing energy, and keeping the room connected is what seasoned facilitators do.Personal note: I learned that saving the 135-pound sled push for my last exercise may not have been my smartest strategy, but finishing it left me feeling exhilarated!As the year comes to a close, many of us find ourselves looking for the one thing to amplify and push us forward. Today I explore:The difference between being pushed by obligation and pulled by purposeWhy thoughtful preparation and empathy remain essential leadership strengthsHow great facilitators make hard things feel possibleThe importance of releasing what no longer fits, even when you're capable of itA simple Love, Like, Capable exercise to help regain alignmentWhy learning, curiosity, and experimentation often live in the love columnHow community, especially women supporting women, changes everythingI also share reflections on resilience, personal health journeys, and the importance of keeping our windshield bigger than our rearview mirror as we move into a new season.As we head into the new year, I am so grateful to the HerCsuite® Community and the clarity we found for HER HEALTHX poised to make a huge impact on women's health outcomes. On a personal note, my heart is overflowing with gratitude that our oldest daughter's health was finally diagnosed. She is now living on her own (after 4 years of being bed ridden) and my youngest daughter is leading women and beyond her years and it is a gift to see them grow.This episode is dedicated especially to you, all around the world who are tuning in. I want you to know how much I appreciate you, that you are valued and you matter. May you finish the year with peace and carry joy with you into the new year. Each of us has the ability to be a Baller and in demand. When we have that belief, we are ready to amplify the one thing that lights us up and move forward.Keep shining your light bright.

#320: What if there's less standing between you and your dream life than you think? If you've ever caught yourself thinking "that's too big of a dream," this episode is going to completely shift how you see what's possible for your life.Today I'm sitting down with Olivia Rose Thomas — manifestation coach, co-host of Inspired Delusions, and someone who went from being skeptical of the idea of manifesting to completely transforming her life through it. Olivia breaks down the neuroscience behind why getting your hopes up is the most powerful thing you can do, why your 95% subconscious mind might be sabotaging what you want, and how to rewire your brain to expect good things.This isn't just woo-woo talk — Olivia connects quantum physics, nervous system regulation, and brain science to explain why manifestation actually works. She shares how she manifested her dream apartment the day after putting it on her vision board, why being audacious about your goals gives your brain more dopamine and motivation, and the exact tools that help you feel safe enough to dream bigger than you ever thought possible.This episode is for you if:You're tired of playing it safe and ready to let yourself receive what you actually wantYou've tried manifesting before and felt like it didn't workYou want to understand the science behind why your thoughts literally shape your realityYou're ready to stop being realistic and start being audaciousWe talk about…The moment Olivia went from manifestation skeptic to believer — and manifested her exact dream living situationWhy getting your hopes up is actually less painful than believing nothing is possibleThe study that proves we only see what we're looking for (and how to use this to your advantage)What your subconscious mind really is and why 95% of your thoughts are working against you without you knowing itThe three R's formula: Recognize, Rewire, Regulate — and how to actually change your beliefsWhy EFT tapping calms your nervous system and clears the "clouds" blocking your natural state of worthinessHow to use subliminals safely (and why creating your own with your voice works faster)Why acting "as if" and changing your identity is more powerful than any manifestation ritualWhy being realistic is the fastest road to mediocrity — and what to do insteadHow to feel safe enough in your nervous system to actually let yourself hope for moreEpisode Links:Follow Olivia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oliviarosethomas_/Follow Olivia on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oliviarosethomas?lang=enListen to Olivia's podcast, Inspired Delusions: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ETFmbKuK8CU6vYU9wFRwu?si=c93d63ba996d4dd7Get your She's So Lucky Merch: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/shes-so-luckySponsors:Nutrafol: For a limited time, Nutrafol is offering our listeners ten dollars off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to nutrafol.com enter the promo code BALANCEDLES.Kendra Scott: Visit kendrascott.com/gifts and use code SSL20 at checkout for 20% off ONE full-priced jewelry item.

In this eye-opening episode of The Confident Sober Women podcast, host Shelby John sits down with award-winning investigative journalist Shoshana Walter, author of Rehab: An American Scandal. Together, they uncover the shocking realities of America's addiction treatment industry—where compassion and healing sometimes collide with corruption, exploitation, and profit.Shoshana shares the powerful stories behind her groundbreaking reporting for The Marshall Project and Reveal, which exposed how some court-ordered rehab programs forced people struggling with addiction into unpaid labor—working in factories, warehouses, and even processing plants under the guise of “treatment.” Her work sheds light on the systemic failures in the U.S. recovery landscape and the human cost of unregulated programs that prey on the most vulnerable.Shelby and Shoshana explore:How the opioid epidemic reshaped America's rehab industry—and where it went wrongThe dark history of “tough love” recovery programs rooted in Synanon and behavioral modificationWhy unregulated and for-profit treatment centers continue to thrive todayThe legal and ethical gray zones surrounding work-based rehab programsThe critical role of “recovery capital”—the internal and external supports that make lasting sobriety possibleThe devastating gap in treatment options for mothers and families, and what real reform could look likeThis conversation is a must-listen for anyone in recovery, professionals in the mental health and addiction fields, and families seeking treatment for a loved one. It's a raw, informed, and deeply compassionate discussion about what's broken—and what hope still exists for creating an addiction recovery system that truly heals.

Ep 185 w/ Matt Dennis On Travelling With A Disability: Breaking Barriers, Accessible Travel + MindsetIn this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I'm joined by Matt Dennis — a travel writer, journalist, and accessibility advocate — to discuss his inspiring journey of travelling with a disability and how mindset can transform the way we see the world.Matt, also known as The Empowered Traveller, has been featured in publications like Metro, The Independent, Evening Standard, and Adventure.com. His work shines a light on accessible travel and how small changes in infrastructure, awareness, and attitude can open up destinations for millions of travellers worldwide.We dive into Matt's story of becoming disabled at 18, navigating life with a paralysed leg, and discovering the confidence and freedom that comes through travel. From interrailing across Europe with crutches and a backpack to advocating for accessibility at global tourism expos, Matt shows that travel is not just possible with a disability — it can be empowering and life-changing.Throughout the episode, Matt shares insights into the realities of accessible travel, including which destinations are leading the way and which still have a long way to go. We explore countries such as Canada, France, Albania, and India, and discuss how accessibility isn't just about wheelchair ramps — it's about inclusive design, public transportation, adapted activities, and, most importantly, mindset.This conversation also highlights why accessible tourism matters for everyone. With ageing populations and an increasing number of people living with mobility challenges, accessibility benefits not only disabled travellers but also seniors, families, and anyone who wants easier, more inclusive travel experiences.Whether you are a disabled traveller looking for tips, an industry professional seeking to understand the importance of accessibility, or simply curious about how to make travel more inclusive, this episode will open your eyes to the possibilities.We discuss:Matt's first major adventures travelling with crutches and a backpack across EuropeThe mental side of disability and how mindset influences what's possibleThe challenges and triumphs of accessibility in destinations around the worldWhy countries that embrace accessibility benefit travellers of all abilitiesHow accessible travel opens doors not just for disabled travellers, but for everyoneWhether you're a traveller with a disability, know someone who is, or want better to understand the importance of accessibility in global travel, this conversation will leave you inspired.Matt DennisWebsite - https://www.empoweredtraveller.com/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheEmpoweredTraveller-hh6vo

Today's podcast episode idea was inspired by an incredible success that I recently discovered from one of my students that I know you'll be interested in. This episode is highly relevant if you want to go into wildlife careers, especially graduate school, but the lessons that you'll learn from my student's experience apply to ANY situation. You'll learn a winning process that I regularly use with my students that will get you results. In her case, it was an extremely prestigious grant that enabled her to go to basically any graduate school in the US!You see, I was recently on LinkedIn and happened to notice that one of my former students, Camilla Price, is now going to graduate school. I was so excited for her and ready to congratulate her, when I noticed something even more exciting: that she was the recipient of a prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP) grant. But even more exciting than this…she was the recipient after applying to the grant just one time and without having an established advisor to work with. Keep reading to understand why this is such a big deal…The NSF GRFP grant is a super competitive grant and a HUGE honor. I've known people who've received the grant and I was even awarded an honorable mention myself when I applied, but I didn't know anyone who got it BEFORE they started working with an advisor in graduate school, meaning that they did it all on their own!I cannot emphasize enough what a big deal this is for aspiring students wanting to go to graduate school: if you get it, you can go pretty much wherever you want for graduate school. You have your choice! This NSF grant provides all of your funding and a lack of funding is one of the biggest reasons why so many people seeking to go to graduate school can't get in. They approach potential graduate advisors and even if the advisors are interested in having another student, if they don't have the funding, then they can't take on that student for a Master's or Ph.D. This was a problem that Camilla was facing.I was so excited for Camilla – the last we had talked, Camilla had been trying to get into graduate school for a year or more. And I was super intrigued by how she went about writing the NSF GRFP. When I wrote my grant applications, I knew the advisor I would be working with and I had a specific Ph.D. project in mind. Without having a specific advisor to work with and therefore a lab and research area to focus on, how did she know what to write about? How did she do this all on her own? Without the help of an advisor to give her feedback and guidance?After extending my congratulations to Camilla, I knew I had to invite her to be on the podcast so that we could all share her success and learn the process that she took to gain this great honor.So many of my followers and students are interested in going to graduate school, and when you listen to Camilla's tips and tricks, you'll learn a ton from this episode. Even if you're not ready to go to graduate school, if you're looking to get into a wildlife career, you're going to benefit a lot. And if you're not interested in wildlife careers, that's okay too – there's still so much you can learn from Camilla's approach to receiving this grant. The strategy that she used is something that I teach in my Successful Wildlife Professional Program: start with the end in mind and work backwards.Tune in and hear about the strategies Camilla used in order to pick the graduate school of her dreams, and learn about how she settled upon the University of Colorado and chose to study wolverines. Along with Camilla's advice, I offer some additional tips and key takeaways to really solidify those points, no matter where you are in your career and what you're going for. These tips work!Specifically, I go over:Camilla's journey as an early-career professionalWhat the the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program is and why you should apply before you go to graduate school and even when you get inThe components of a NSF GRFP proposal and what it's like to write oneCamilla's entire process for creating her research proposal: from concept to submittingStrategies for creating a strong proposalThe importance of networking and how Camilla used it to help her write the strongest proposal possibleThe difference between Broader Impacts and Intellectual Merit: what they are and why they are important in all NSF proposalsand MORE!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?
