Podcasts about Presence

Presence isn't theory—it shows up in real situations where energy matters more than anything you say. Some environments expose weakness fast, and no amount of talking can cover it.  In this episode, I break down the places where your presence gets tested the most. I explain why mastering presence gives you a huge edge, because almost nobody is focused on it. By the end, you'll know exactly where your energy gets judged instantly and what that means for you. Show Notes: [02:41]#1 Your presence gets tested when you're dealing with women. [07:37]#2 Your presence gets tested in business. [15:46]#3 Your presence gets tested around other men. [20:69]#4 Your presence gets tested in conflict.

In this conversation, Dr. Nick Morgan breaks down the science behind effective communication and explores why traditional public speaking advice often falls short. From the neuroscience of trust-building to the challenges of virtual communication, Nick shares decades of insights on what it really takes to move people to action through authentic, embodied communication.Great communication isn't about perfecting your technique or following traditional public speaking rules—it's about developing awareness of how you're being received and creating authentic connection through alignment between your words, body, and intent. As Nick emphasizes, the most powerful communicators are those who've learned to focus outward on their audience's experience rather than inward on their own performance.This episode is perfect for business leaders, executives, and anyone looking to improve their communication impact and lead more effectively through authentic presence.Nick is the author of multiple acclaimed books including Working the Room (Harvard, 2003), Trust Me (2009), Power Cues (2014), and Can You Hear Me? (2018) on virtual communication. His forthcoming book, The Embodied Voice, is planned for 2025. After earning his PhD in literature and rhetoric, Nick taught at UVA, Lehigh, and Princeton before founding his communications consulting firm, Public Words, in 1997.Connect with Bradley:1-1 Game Plan Call: Get Above The Business.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 33 - Faith is Not Awareness of Presence, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. We compare the spirit "Jesus" of John Mark Comer's book with what we find in 1John. We must test the spirits using objective truth from Scripture, not from mystical impressions. Faith is not awareness of presence; it's grounded in authoritative truth. (duration 00:22:33) Click here to play

In this heart-centered episode, Laurie explores the deeper meaning of presence — the sacred awareness of being fully here — versus presents, the material gifts we often focus on during the holiday season. As the world rushes into the close of the year, she reminds us that the most powerful gift we can offer ourselves, our loved ones, and humanity is our undivided attention and authentic connection.Laurie shares how true presence anchors divine light into our human experience and why this is vital during these transformative times. Through spiritual insight, reflective storytelling, and grounded wisdom, she explains how presence heals disconnection, balances collective energy, and helps us embody peace amid chaos.Listeners will discover: • The difference between giving presents and being the gift through presence • How conscious awareness uplifts humanity and stabilizes energy fields • Simple, sacred ways to return to the moment — breath, nature, stillness, gratitude • Why being present now is essential for the evolution of human consciousness • How grounding in light and love creates ripple effects of healing for the planetLaurie invites you to slow down, breathe, and remember that you are the light the world needs most. This episode is a reminder that presence is not only the greatest gift — it's the path to peace, connection, and transformation for all of humanity.Send us a textSupport the showThanks for listening - For questions or comments email Laurie at Laurie@yourlifecore.comInstagram @yourlifecore or Twitter @yourlifecore Facebook https://www.facebook.com/YourLifecoreWebsite www.yourlifecore.com

Send us a textWelcome to the first episode of our new series, Adore, where we dive deep into the heart of worship and what it means to be a people who truly behold Jesus.What You'll DiscoverIn this foundational session, we explore throne room worship and the transformative power of drawing near to God's presence. We journey through Revelation 4 to witness the ceaseless worship surrounding God's throne, where angels and elders are captivated by His beauty and respond with unending praise.Key ThemesWorship as Response - Learn how authentic worship flows naturally from beholding God's character, not from forced performance or meeting personal preferences.Proximity Over Performance - Discover how worship in the Garden of Eden was simply about nearness and friendship with God, and how that original design still shapes our worship today.The Power of His Blood - Understand how Jesus' sacrifice removed every barrier, giving us bold access to come close to the Father without shame.Bringing Your Authentic Self - Explore why God isn't looking for polished perfection but genuine hearts that draw near in spirit and truth.Challenging QuestionsWhat does your perspective of God reveal about the depth of your worship?Are you making worship about your preferences or about giving Jesus the glory due His name?How close can you come to God—and what would change if that became your daily obsession?This episode will provoke you to go beyond singing songs to truly adoring Jesus, to shift your focus from self-centered worship to throne-centered worship, and to step into the nearness that Jesus paid for with His blood.Whether you're a seasoned worshiper or just beginning your journey, this session offers fresh insight into what it means to be a restless one pursuing the heart of God.Support the show

I sat down with Mellini Monique, a catalyst for connection and creativity through voice. Her approach to voice is unlike anything you've heard before. She explains why your voice is not just sound, but a tool of connection, presence, and emotional clarity. We explore childhood vocal trauma, why so many adults feel unheard, and how to build the confidence to speak from your body instead of your fear. This conversation is a masterclass in reclaiming your authentic voice in relationships, leadership, and everyday communication.Inside this podcast:- Why your voice is a tool for connection and meaning- How childhood vocal trauma shapes your adult communication- Why certainty is more powerful than loudness- How to speak with emotional intelligence and resonance- How to tune into yourself so others can truly hear youConnect with Mellini:Instagram → https://bit.ly/48ntwt0LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/3YbKFjhConnect with Steve:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhRLinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/48sw8VjEpisode Highlights00:00:00 - Episode starts here, Reflection on Noise, Presence and being Heard00:07:00 - Childhood lessons: the principal story and early listening00:17:00 - Vocal repertoire: most people use only 30% of their range00:28:30 - Breath and grounding exercises for public speaking00:36:30 - Emotional constriction: how shame and stress tighten the voice00:44:00 - Building rapport and reading the room (thermostat vs thermometer)00:52:00 - Posture, presence and the limbic response to uprightness01:00:00 - Relationships and vocal adaptation: choosing the nuance that connects01:06:00 - Code switching vs vocal repertoire and building vocal bridges01:18:00 - Reclaiming inner voice, play as practice, closing reflections and linksABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths, and remarkable growth.

In this Sunday solo, Sarah breaks down what “reading subtle energy” actually feels like in real life: soft, fast, surprising, and usually easy to dismiss. She shares how presence (and loosening ego/expectations) strengthens intuition, why most intuitive info doesn't arrive like a crystal-clear movie or voice memo, and how real-time feedback with a practice partner can change everything. Along the way, she tells powerful stories—like a psychometry exercise that unexpectedly brought through “horse energy,” and a moving reading where a father's apology, a closet door with white slats, and two dragonflies opened the door to forgiveness, humor, and closure.   Subtle energy is quiet and quick. If you're waiting for fireworks, you'll miss the “pops.” Your body is a YES/NO instrument. “Random nope,” “full-body hell yeah,” chills, pressure, emotion shifts—these can be intuitive language. Presence is the gateway to presence. To feel Spirit with you, your awareness has to be in the current moment. Expectation shrinks the channel. When you “need it to be this,” you filter out the bigger message (and Spirit doesn't obey ceilings). Intuition arrives clean—then the mind narrates. The moment you hesitate, analysis takes over and the signal fades. Practice partners create traction. Feedback + intention = learning faster (and trusting yourself sooner). Evidence can be both tender and funny. A reading can hold shame + forgiveness + dragonflies + a cocktail-party couple saying “just take it.” Guided writing is a real, accessible tool. Calm state + pen moving = a channel for gentle, guiding language.   “Expectation kills openness.”   “For most of my life… I had no idea what reading energy meant. I thought that energy was what I was billed for monthly to keep my electricity running.”   Lauren Robertson's Class "Platform Perfection" - 10% off for listeners with code MEDIUM at checkout.

Fully there. Transcript

Alrighty. As Mental Health is at a all time high in the transitioning world we cohabitate, I need to bring attention to THE COST. I just read this really sharp take on the whole therapy conversation in America, and I wanted to break it down for you.The main point is pretty straightforward: the mental-health crisis isn't mostly about a lack of therapy.A PERSONAL NOTE: Hyper Sensational Therapy vs. Real Healing: Why Presence MattersThere's a trend in therapy that prizes spectacle over substance — dramatic techniques, flashy protocols, and quick-fix promises that look impressive but often miss what actually keeps people stuck. I've trained across many modalities — hypnotherapy, trauma‑informed approaches, EMDR, archetypal healing, Internal Family Systems, and more — and I've learned something important: technique alone isn't the point.The core of real change is simple and often quiet. At the heart of my practice is being a natural intuitive and a committed witness, informed by relational neuroscience and energetics.What matters most is presence. Presence is the first and most powerful intervention. When a practitioner can hold steady, attuned, and nonreactive, clients are able to drop the performance and melt into vulnerability. That's when the body speaks, the nervous system moves, and grief, fear, shame, or confusion can be processed rather than re-enacted.Is Therapy Costing You?Money stress, loneliness, and the fact that a lot of the old ways we used to cope (church, bars, big friend groups, family nearby) have basically disappeared.Therapy can be helpful for some people, no question, especially the roughly one in four adults dealing with real mental illness.But it's been turned into this mandatory first step for everyone, almost like a luxury product.The message everywhere online is: you can't date, you can't be happy, you can't even really live until you've spent years and thousands of dollars ‘working on yourself.'And that's starting to feel off.What's interesting is that this same pressure has quietly taken over a lot of spiritual and self-development communities too.You see it all the time now: before you can meditate properly, manifest anything, or even show up to a retreat or a ceremony, you're told you have to ‘do your trauma work first' or ‘heal your inner child.'Therapy-speak has become the new gatekeeper — even in spaces that used to be about direct connection to something bigger.It's like you're not allowed to seek meaning or transcendence until you've paid a therapist to sign off on your emotional résumé.A lot of the happiest countries in the world don't have therapy on every corner.They have strong safety nets, affordable housing, universal healthcare, higher wages, or super tight family and community bonds.When people aren't constantly worried about losing everything, their mental health — and honestly their spiritual life — tends to be a lot richer.Meanwhile, social media is flooded with therapy language (boundaries, attachment styles, trauma, self-care), and most of it comes from people who are actually doing fine.A huge percentage of the mental-health advice on TikTok and Instagram is misleading or flat-out wrong, but it spreads because vulnerability gets clicks and likes.On the access side, the U.S. actually has plenty of therapists overall — more than doctors or dentists per capita.The real problem is cost and distribution: rural areas have almost none, most don't take insurance, and if you're on Medicaid or Medicare you're often out of luck.If you've got money, therapy is as easy as booking a workout class.If you don't, good luck.There's also a growing gender gap.Women are twice as likely to get mental-health treatment, partly because three-quarters of therapists are women, and a lot of guys just don't feel understood in those rooms.Young men in particular are falling behind faster than any other group (education, jobs, relationships, suicide rates), and the loudest cultural voices either ignore them or blame them.So some end up drifting toward the only places that at least pretend to listen, even if those places are toxic.The piece ends with a pretty blunt line: social media platforms and influencers — and honestly a lot of modern spiritual spaces — make more money when people stay anxious and stuck in endless processing.The bigger fixes aren't another app, another $200 session, or another ten-week trauma course.They're economic security, real-life community, fitness, taking social risks, and rebuilding the basic stuff that makes humans feel connected, safe, and open to something deeper.That's the gist of it. I thought it was a refreshingly non-ideological way to look at a conversation that usually gets very heated very fast. I'd love to know your thoughts.If you're curious about finding personalized support that has a foundation in relational neuroscience to support all the working parts of your brain that may be atrophied, and also an intuitive process to integrate the problem-solving you bring to each Oracle guide, then I'd love for you to experience the light between the Oracle journey.Now until Christmas, I'm offering a lifetime subscription for $42, which is a savings of $528. Hope to see you there. Choose to be in the drivers seat to self empowerment and next-era growth.

A lot of you think likes, followers, and posting all day make you powerful, but they actually weaken your energy in real life. Presence is about how you show up in the room, not how you show up on a screen. When you chase online validation, you lose the inner power people feel when they're face-to-face with you. In this episode, I talk about how social media is killing your real presence.  I break down why this happens and what you can do to rebuild real, physical presence. Show Notes: [03:34]#1 You are getting addicted to validation.  [12:15]#2 Social Media values performance over authenticity.  [26:03]#3 You are distracting yourself from real development.  [36:08] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3300: Why I Am Not - And WIll Never Be - A "Content Creator" 3053: Business Principles For The "Creator Economy" 1862: Want To Be A Creator Or Influencer?

Because if your life looks anything like mine right now… it's full. Beautiful, meaningful, chaotic, and full.And during these kinds of seasons, it's so easy to think you should be doing more — starting a new workout plan, reinventing your routines, signing up for a program, overhauling your habits. But the truth is: this is not the season for massive shifts.This is the season for presence. For grounding. For simplicity.So today, I'm walking you through five small things I'm personally committing to over the next three weeks — things that don't require extra time, big decisions, or rearranging your life… just tiny anchors that keep you rooted when life gets busy.In this episode, I share:Why this is not the moment to should all over yourself (you'll feel that one!)How remembering that every yes is a choice can lift guilt and mental clutterWhat presence actually looks like in a full season — especially when your brain wants to time-travelA sweet glimpse into my kids' Winter Fair (pocket ladies and handmade treasures included)Why even 5 minutes of movement can shift your nervous system and blood sugarHow the small things — supplements, peptides, water, sunlight — are always the first to disappear when we need them mostWhy scheduling time for yourself in January is the most loving thing you can do for DecemberA reminder that your five grounding practices don't have to match mine — they just need to support your alivenessThis episode is meant to help you breathe again. To remind you that it's okay to be in this season — not the one you think you “should” be in.Big TakeawaysYou chose what's on your plate — which means you can release the guilt around what you can't get to right now.Presence allows you to actually experience the life you're living instead of rushing through it.Small anchors create big stability in busy seasons.This time of year is meant to be beautiful — even when it's messy.I'd love to hear from youWhat are your five grounding things for this season?

Episode Summary In this solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan dives deep into a heartfelt tribute for his late business partner, Adrian Osh, highlighting the profound lessons learned from their collaboration. Karl then tackles practical listener questions, unpacking the realities of selling a home to fund retirement, offering advice for high-budget marketing campaigns, and providing a grounded view on integrating AI into business operations. He closes the episode with powerful mindset strategies for handling anxiety, depression, and the importance of presence, especially for ambitious business coaches. Key Topics Covered 1. Lessons from Adrian Osh's Legacy Karl shares an emotional reflection on what made Adrian Osh an outstanding team player, business partner, and mentor. He spotlights Adrian's quiet leadership, relentless work ethic, and the transformative power of being the "exception." 2. The Truth About Downsizing for Retirement A listener's question about selling a $1.5M home to buy a $750K condo triggers an honest discussion about the myth of "freeing up cash" through downsizing. Karl outlines all the often-overlooked costs and emotional pitfalls, and suggests alternative, wealth-building strategies. 3. Coaching High-Eight-Figure Clients with a Seven-Figure Marketing Budget Karl explains why branding, not features or direct response, is what separates great marketing at scale. He delves into Apple, Nike, and Tony Robbins as branding masters, and shows how to craft a compelling "through line" grounded in company values. 4. How to Actually Integrate AI in Your Coaching Business Karl delivers a reality check: stop chasing new AI tools and focus on operational fundamentals. He emphasizes designing processes and going "a mile deep" in workflow, rather than constantly seeking the next shiny technology. 5. Mindset and Presence: Managing Ambition, Anxiety, and Depression The episode wraps up with actionable mental wellness insights, including the importance of presence, the unavoidable link between ambition and anxiety, and practical self-care routines for the busy business coach. Notable Quotes "Building a business is not about being hyped up with excitement. It's being cool, calm, and collected when things go sideways." "Vanity metrics… they're kind of for the idiots. What really matters is clients in the door, retention, and cash hitting the bank account." "More companies go out of business from growth than lack of sales. It's growth without systems and foresight that does them in." "The highest level of marketing is branding… if you're doing your job right, people know what you stand for." "The money isn't in the buying or selling—it's in the waiting." "Focus is about eliminating distractions. With AI, everyone chases new and next, but the power is in going a mile deep." "Your presence is the greatest gift you can give your loved ones—and yourself." Actionable Takeaways Don't Romanticize Selling Assets for Quick Cash: Factor in all transaction costs and emotional realities before downsizing a home in retirement. Consider keeping existing property and leveraging it for rental income and long-term wealth. Build Brands, Not Just Campaigns: Anchor your marketing strategy in your core values and "through line" message—like Nike's "Just Do It" or Apple's "Think Different." Features and specs won't win at scale. Go Deep, Not Wide with AI: Maximize your existing AI tools for operational clarity before pursuing every latest update. Map out workflows, document processes, and resist the urge to chase novelty. Channel Ambition, Manage Anxiety: Remember anxiety comes with ambition. Rather than trying to eliminate it, learn to manage it through gratitude, presence, and regular self-care (walks, meditation, sunlight). Practice Presence in Relationships and Work: Intentionally slow down, step outside, and fully engage with your loved ones—especially during holidays. Presence is the antidote to time "flying by." Structure for Compounding Improvement: Success (in business and using AI) is about small, incremental improvements measured, tracked, and refined over time.

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday! In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones dives into something so many parents quietly worry about: How do I really support my daughter when I'm not even sure what she's feeling? Melissa reminds us that being a steady, safe presence matters far more than having the perfect words or a flawless plan.In this episode, you'll hear:Why you don't need to know exactly what's going on to still show up as a safe, grounded parentHow a quiet daughter isn't necessarily shutting you out—and what she may actually be needingWhy our girls often want connection, not solutionsHow being truly present can soothe big emotions more than any advice ever couldWhy it's okay if your daughter doesn't open up right away (and how giving her time builds trust)This episode is a gentle reminder that you don't have to fix everything—you just have to be there. Your warm, steady presence creates the space your daughter needs to process her feelings, move through tough moments, and feel deeply supported.If you know a parent who might need this encouragement today, share the episode with them. We're all growing, learning, and showing up the best we can—and together, we can raise daughters who feel safe, seen, and understood.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

Jessi Ricci  - New Life Greens On Being Present: "It's definitely life changing when you put your phone down for a meal." In the mad rush that is our world, we often take for granted some important things.  Some of those things are nutrition, flavor, time spent with friends enjoying a great meal.  Celebrating the gift of life that we have instead of just rushing through it. Jessi Ricci started New Life Greens, partly as a way to help people enjoy life.  In the food they eat and the people they share the experience with.  At only 19 years old, she is already a successful entrepreneur. In this inspiring conversation, Jessi Ricci opens up about how her dream of becoming an environmental science teacher at UW Madison took an unexpected detour when a part-time job at an aquaponic farm introduced her to the world of microgreens. From those first nervous meetings with chefs, armed with living trays of fresh greens, to building relationships with supportive mentors and her own family, Jessi Ricci reveals how authenticity, faith, and hustle fueled her success. Listen as Jessi details what she has learned and how she has made New Life Greens a success. Enjoy!

And I really do not feel like I'm pushy. I just really believe in my product, and I think it speaks for itself. Like, I don't need to talk to them. I can leave them these microgreens, and they speak for themselves. So I'll come in. Jessi Ricci [00:00:19]: And bring my price sheets and everything and a live tray of greens. Like an alive plant of greens, some cut product and. And talk to them. Just show it to them, have them eat it. And they're like, whoa, this is so flavorful.

Downloadable audio episodes can be found in the podcast link found at drawincustomers.com we are locally underwritten by the bank of Sun Prairie and today we are welcoming slash, preparing to learn from Jessi Ricci of New Life Greens. So, Jessi, how is it going today? Jessi Ricci [00:01:00]: I am doing great. How are you? James Kademan [00:01:02]: I am doing well. I'm in green. Jessi Ricci [00:01:04]: I know. I love that you're in green. I always wear green. James Kademan [00:01:07]: So you really. Jessi Ricci [00:01:08]: Yep. James Kademan [00:01:09]: That's cool. Is nature of the business. Right. Jessi Ricci [00:01:10]: But I love that you're in green, too. James Kademan [00:01:11]: Oh, thank you. Tell us the story. What is New Life Greens? Jessi Ricci [00:01:14]: Yeah. So New Life Greens is a microgreens farm based in Verona, Wisconsin, and we distribute just to the greater Madison area. And we focus on distribution to chefs, which is what kind of sets us apart. We grow specialty microgreens with chefs in mind. James Kademan [00:01:32]: All right, now I'm going to play dumb. Jessi Ricci [00:01:34]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:35]: Or maybe I am. Whatever. What is a microgreen? Jessi Ricci [00:01:38]: That's not dumb. I did not know what a microgreen before I started my business. So you. James Kademan [00:01:44]: Did you say when you started your business? Jessi Ricci [00:01:45]: No, before. I did not know before I started my business. James Kademan [00:01:49]: All right. Jessi Ricci [00:01:51]: Yeah. I still don't know. James Kademan [00:01:53]: These things just ship up and I sell them and. What? Jessi Ricci [00:01:56]: Yeah, yeah. The textbook definition of a microgreen is that it is a young seedling of an edible flower, vegetable or herb. So if you. Do you have a garden? James Kademan [00:02:08]: I'm going to say yes. But I mean, it's. Jessi Ricci [00:02:11]: Do you start your own plant starts or no, it's fine if you don't. James Kademan [00:02:15]: Tomatoes, you do Okay. I grow things that are very easy to grow. We're talking rhubarb, tomatoes, cucumbers, stuff that you could probably light the entire world on fire and they would still grow. Jessi Ricci [00:02:25]: Yes. James Kademan [00:02:26]: That's what my skill set is. Jessi Ricci [00:02:28]: It's funny that that's the vegetable that you said, because tomatoes are part of the nightshade family, so they actually are deadly in microgreen form. James Kademan [00:02:35]: Really? Jessi Ricci [00:02:36]: Yes, because they are. They like. Well, it's a whole thing. But basically, if you think of your garden and your plant starts, if you're starting like a pea pod or a cantaloupe or what's another one? Radishes, that little start, that's a couple inches, it's what is what is technically classified as a microgreen, just so it' easier to, like, envision. Usually they're like the size of a blade of grass. And since they are microgreen and they're harvested before they actually produce fruits and before they run out of nutrients in their seed and start using from the soil, they are extremely nutrient dense. So that's kind of the appeal from the consumer. But chefs really don't care about the nutrition. Jessi Ricci [00:03:15]: They just care that they are really beautiful. They're very colorful and flavorful. So they're a great way to garnish. So a lot of high end restaurants will garnish their dishes with them. But I do partner with some restaurants, like Settled Down Tavern, who puts it in a burger, or Youngblood who puts it on a hot dog. But typically they're used as more of like a fancy garnish. James Kademan [00:03:34]: All right. Jessi Ricci [00:03:35]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:03:35]: So how do you get into the microgreen business? Jessi Ricci [00:03:38]: Yeah, you know, I was trying to think of. I knew you probably would ask this, so I was trying to think of my answer for this, and it's really confusing. I mean, if you look back, because I started my business in high school. I'm 19 right now. So if you look back back in your high school, I'm sure, you know, it's totally a blur. And even though it was just a few years, for me, high school was totally a blur. I started my business kind of by accident in a way, actually. So all of high school, I always dreamed to go to UW Madison, be an environmental science teacher, or go to UW Madison. Jessi Ricci [00:04:15]: I said, go to UW Madison, be an environmental science teacher, be in the band. And so my whole high school was just. My whole high school career was filled with trying to accomplish that dream. So I was 4.0 student. I joined all the clubs. I was in band. I joined a sport just to make my application look better. And kind of like the final seal of that was me applying to be a youth apprentice my senior year to make my college application look better, which I did not go to college. Jessi Ricci [00:04:41]: I Don't know if you. I did. I would be in college right now. I would be in class right now. So I'm not there. Jessi Ricci [00:04:50]: Yeah. So everything I did was with that goal in mind. And the job in which I started my business out of was literally. I got the job because I wanted my application to look better. So I got a job at an aquaponic farm in Paoli, Wisconsin, which is definitely the up and booming little area near Madison, at Clean Fresh Food. And they provided an array of products to restaurants. When I started working for them, they only had one restaurant client, but it filled up, like, a third of their capacity. And so I started working there, and I was thinking, you know, this is kind of. Jessi Ricci [00:05:24]: They grow all year round, which is really environmentally friendly. So I was thinking, this will look so good on my application for UW Madison. I'm gonna be a part of this farm who has really great values. And I thought it would really set me apart. Little did I know. I mean, it set me apart so much that I'm not going there. Jessi Ricci [00:05:43]: Yeah. So this farm was the hub for my business. The owner of the farm, Mike Knight, helped me incubate my business. It all started out just with me. My dad always raised me to have, like, a strong work ethic, and so there wasn't that much work for me to do at the farm. There was one other. I had one other co worker and me, and it was just us two, and he worked in the mornings, and I worked, like, at the end of the school day, and so I never saw him. So I would show up to the greenhouse, unlock the door, and I was all alone, and I would just kind of find things to do, like organize or do whatever. Jessi Ricci [00:06:20]: But my dad, like, just knowing him, I could never sit down. I, like, when I was working, I was working, and I didn't have anyone watching over me, so. So I could have done whatever, but this, like, strong work ethic of mine ended up with me reaching out to the owner. And, I mean, I. I love this guy. He is like my business mentor. He's an amazing guy.

Today, I interview Manya Gittel who lost her voice during a stroke and woke up to something far more unexpected than the crisis itself. She describes that moment as an inner awakening she didn't see coming, one that shifted her sense of who she was and how her voice lived inside her.Manya shares parts of her early life, shaped by her parents' history and the roles she learned to carry as a child. These patterns became so natural to her that she never questioned them, even as they influenced how she showed up in the world.What changed after the stroke is something she explains in a way that feels both surprising and deeply human. The way she describes that shift invites you to listen closely and wonder about the places where you too might be living from habit instead of truth.Today, Manya reflects on how that experience continues to shape her voice and her presence. Her story opens a rare conversation about authenticity, connection, and the moment a person realizes they have been further from themselves than they knew. It is an invitation to explore what happens when someone finally hears the voice they didn't know they lost.__________________Manya Gittel is a coach and trainer from South Africa who works with people around the world.
