Reclaiming Motherhood: Hard ≠ Bad Suzanne sits down with her daughters—now mothers themselves—for an honest, hope-filled conversation about reclaiming a life-giving vision of motherhood. They unpack the tension most moms feel: the days are long, the needs are endless, and perfectionism and isolation creep in. Together they reframe motherhood as Kingdom work—discipleship in real time—where “hard” can be holy, refining, and deeply meaningful. You'll hear practical ways to trade victim-thinking for vision: making motherhood the main thing (letting chores serve connection), joining your child's world to build present-moment memories, creating more deposits than withdrawals with specific encouragement, and using quick repentance to repair when you blow it. The episode also tackles common pain points—asking for help, carving out breaks before burnout, battling loneliness with intentional friendships and spouse check-ins, and resetting your perspective so you see your kids as the blessing they are. Anchored in Isaiah 40:11, this conversation offers gentle leadership for moms in every season. Takeaways: Motherhood is discipleship—hard doesn't mean bad. Prioritize connection; let tasks fit under the mission of mothering. Name weaknesses, bring them to light, and ask for help. Combat loneliness with quick, deep check-ins and God-with-us moments. Keep a 3:1 encouragement-to-correction rhythm. Repent fast; repair fast. Connection beats perfection. Isaiah 40:11: God gently leads those with young. Try it this week: 10 minutes of undistracted play, one clear ask for help, celebrate one tiny win out loud. Podcast Resources: Click here for everything Crazy Cool Family! Give us a review!

Many therapists in private practice want to run a solid, ethical business—but the idea of “compliance” can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even downright scary. Between HIPAA requirements, proper documentation, and ever-changing policies, it's tough to know what you don't know… and easy to put it off for another day. In this episode of the Private Practice Elevation Podcast, Daniel Fava sits down with Dr. Tiana Kelly to demystify compliance and make it feel manageable—even if you're just getting started. Tiana shares how she built the compliance program at Move Forward Counseling (with over 60 therapists!) and now helps other private practices do the same through her consulting business, Private Practice By Design. You'll learn why compliance is not a one-time checklist but an ongoing process—and how to prioritize the most important changes without overwhelming your team. Tiana also explains: Why “go slow” is key when rolling out compliance updates The biggest mistakes she sees practices make (and how to avoid them) What therapists really need to be trained on from day one How to build a culture of learning, accountability, and ethical care Whether you're a solo therapist or running a growing group practice, this episode will help you think more clearly about compliance—and feel more confident taking your next step.

For many of us, “the hustle” has become a way of life. Long hours, endless responsibilities, and the constant pressure to do more often come at a cost—our health. Few people know this better than Umashnee Naidoo, who faced the heavy toll of burnout, weight gain, and depression before transforming her life through holistic healing. From Burnout to Breakdown Like so many professionals, Umashnee poured herself into her work. On the outside, she was driven and successful. But inside, the stress of hustle culture was taking its toll. The result was emotional exhaustion, severe depression, and a body carrying 60 extra pounds of weight. It wasn't just about how she looked—it was about how she felt. Every day became a struggle. Choosing a Different Path Umashnee realized that if she didn't make a change, she risked losing more than her health—she risked losing herself. That realization led her to embrace holistic health practices: yoga, meditation, and energy medicine. These weren't quick fixes, but powerful tools that helped her reconnect to her body, calm her mind, and begin the journey of true healing. Through consistency and self-discovery, Umashnee not only shed 60 pounds but also regained her joy, energy, and sense of purpose. Her story is proof that sustainable transformation happens when you address both the mind and the body. The Power of Mind-Body Healing What makes Umashnee's journey so impactful is her focus on the whole person. She learned that depression, weight gain, and burnout are often symptoms of deeper imbalances. By aligning her nutrition, movement, and mindset with her values, she was able to heal from the inside out. Today, she shares her knowledge and experience to help others reclaim their health and happiness. Her story is a reminder that true wellness isn't just about losing weight or following a diet—it's about creating harmony in your life. Lessons for All of Us There are three key takeaways from Umashnee's journey that anyone can apply: Listen to your body. Fatigue, stress, and weight gain are signals, not just inconveniences. Prioritize mental health. Depression and burnout require attention, compassion, and care—not silence. Small, consistent changes matter. Yoga, meditation, and mindful eating create long-term transformation when practiced regularly. Connect with Umashnee If you're ready to step off the treadmill of hustle culture and into a healthier, more balanced life, you'll find Umashnee's work inspiring and practical.

Prioritize

Introduction Alright, let's cut to it. You're here because you're tired of the grind. The endless hustle. The feeling that you're always chasing something just out of reach. We're diving deep today. No fluff. Just the raw truth about what separates those who *achieve* from those who merely *aspire*. We're talking about identity. Not what you *do*, but who you *are*. Because when you shift that, everything shifts. We're unpacking the science behind your success. The hidden edge. The exact mechanisms in your brain that either hold you back or propel you forward. Get ready to move from transactional to transformative. From doubt to decisive. From hustle to alignment. This is where the real deals get done. Here's what we're covering: The Identity Shift: Beyond Transactional Goals Why tying goals to identity unlocks powerful motivation. The science behind recruiting stronger brain circuits. Moving from "I want" to "I am." Working Backwards: Consulting-Level Precision Neville Goddard's "thinking from the end" and its scientific backing. The brain's reward system: activating dopamine through purpose. Deactivating doubt: The ventromedial prefrontal cortex at work. Calming the amygdala by visualizing certainty. Prioritizing Actions: Returns and Exploration Focusing on high-return activities. The crucial role of exploration and embracing the unknown. How curiosity calms your fear center. Letting go of the "how" to embrace possibility. The Science of Alignment: Trust Over Cortisol Rewiring your neurochemical baseline. Shifting emotional associations from pressure to purpose. The default mode network and narrative identity. The power of the "Bardo state" – the space of possibility. Embodying Your Future Self: The "Be, Do, Have" Blueprint Transforming identity, not just chasing results. The neuroscience of belief and self-anchoring confidence. The truth: Your brain backs your belief. Acting from your highest and best good. Honest Overview This episode cuts through the noise. It's about shifting your focus. Stop chasing results. Start embodying your desired identity. The core message? Your identity drives your actions. Your actions shape your reality. Science proves it. Key takeaways: Transformative goals beat transactional ones. Tie your goals to who you are, not just what you get. Your brain rewards identity-based motivation. Think from the end. Work backward with precision. Visualize your desired state as already achieved. This calms your fear center and builds certainty. Embrace curiosity and exploration. Prioritize actions based on their potential return, but don't neglect the unknown. Sometimes the greatest leaps come from stepping outside the predictable. Hesitation is a dead end. Decisiveness, rooted in identity, is the path forward. Stop the hustle. Start aligning. It's not just a nice idea. It's a neurological rewiring. The deal is already done. Act like it.   Books The Science of Getting Rich People Brandon (Speaker) Neville Goddard Price Pritchett Joseph Dispenza Bob Proctor Bruce Lipton Websites Psychology Today (Mentioned implicitly in relation to article content)

Ever feel like you're drowning in your daily routine and can't possibly squeeze in one more thing for your health? In this episode of The Wellness Effect, Kira and Jensen tackle the myth that you need to wait for the "perfect time" to prioritize your wellbeing. From navigating third trimester pregnancy while running a business to managing demanding work schedules, we break down why busy seasons are exactly when you need those healthy habits most—and how to make them work even when life feels chaotic. Whether you're a burned-out mom, overworked student, or anyone caught in the productivity trap, this conversation will help you shift from surviving your busy season to actually thriving in it.   In this episode, you'll hear: Why we've been conditioned to equate "busy" with "good" since childhood—and how to break free from that mindset The floor and ceiling approach: creating flexible non-negotiables that work no matter what your day throws at you The nervous system connection: why rushing through your day actually makes everything harder Why asking for help isn't weakness—it's strategic self-care that benefits everyone The boundary-setting strategies that stop you from saying yes to everything Small wins that compound: from morning sunlight to celebrating the basics you're already doing right   Key Takeaways: Your healing journey is lifelong—there will never be a "perfect" time to start, so learn to work with busy seasons instead of waiting them out The floor and ceiling method: establish a bare minimum you can do on your worst days (looking out the window for sunlight) and a maximum for your best days (30-minute morning routine) Most people don't know what feeling good actually feels like because we've adapted to feeling tired and overwhelmed as our baseline     Want more from us?

If you're like us, some days your desk looks like a command center. Other days, it looks like a scrap pile of to-do lists, personal reminders, and ideas in progress. The reality is, most of us don't have a perfect system for prioritization — and that's especially true when we're overwhelmed, which is ironically when we need one most. In this candid episode, we compare notes on our different approaches to staying organized, from digital versus paper systems to the power of setting tomorrow's priorities before you go to bed tonight. Tune in as we sort through organizational struggles, share what's working (and what isn't), and admit that sometimes we don't have it all figured out — but we're learning as we go.

It's back to school and back to routines and for me that means a new season of podcasting and starting this one off with how to maximize our time while our kids are in school.   Insane to say but I now have a high schooler and in my many years of having school age children I've learned so much about how to use this time to have time for yourself, get the things done that you need to, catch up with people that you love, fitness & nutrition, take care of appointments and errands… without wasting any time.    My goal of this podcast is to give you a really helpful framework for laying out how you will spend those precious hours while your kids are in school.   If we don't plan, the time can see like it goes by soooo fast.     But if we do have a plan and we don't have wasted or distracted time in between things, we can get so much done and by the time it's school pickup, you feel accomplished and organized and energized and ready to give them the best of you, not the distracted half paying attention version of you.    Our days all look different but as mothers that all love our kids and want as much quality time with them as possible, spending the time you aren't with them strategically, will bring so much joy to your life.         Get Clear on Your Top Priorities Start with “radical clarity” on what truly matters to you. Take time to define what fulfillment, success, and joy mean in your life. Identify your biggest goals and why they're important – this clarity becomes your compass for how to spend your days. List the things you never seem to have time for… both big and small. Maybe it's projects like organizing the closets or family photos, pursuing a passion or side-business, getting back into shape, or finally starting that project. Connect each task to a purpose. For each priority or goal, be clear on why it matters. For example, you might not love the act of meal-prepping lunches, but you do love the outcome of healthier meals and smoother evenings. When you know why a task is important (to your health, career, family, etc.), it's easier to commit time to it. You're designing your life around what matters most to you, not just reacting to whatever comes up. Plan Your Day, Don't Wing It Design each school-day with intention. Map out your day before it starts... even down to hourly blocks if possible. We're just not good enough to wing it consistently and expect great results.  As productivity expert Stephen Covey famously said, “The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” In other words, slot your highest-value activities into your calendar.  If working out, writing a chapter of your book, or having an uninterrupted block for work projects is a priority, schedule it into the hours your kids are at school. Identify your MITs (Most Important Tasks) each morning. A great habit is to choose the top 2–3 tasks that will make your day feel successful if nothing else gets done. Write these down and tackle them early in the day. Batch and align tasks to the right times. Group similar tasks together and do them at the optimal times of day. For example, if you have high-energy or creative time in the morning, use that for deep work or exercise. Save low-energy tasks (like tidying up or answering non-urgent emails) for the later afternoon slump Be realistic and time-conscious. Don't overload your day with a massive to-do list that ignores the realities of time… that just leads to frustration. Remember, we all have the same 24 hours; it's how we use them that counts.  Make the Most of School Hours: High-Value Activities to Consider When your kids are at school, think of it as your prime time to tackle the things that are hardest to do when they're around. Plan these hours as if they're gold… because they are! Here are some categories and examples of productive, fulfilling things you can do while the kids are in class: Invest in your health and energy: Get your workout in... go for a run, hit the gym, take a yoga or Pilates class, or do a workout video at home. Prioritize meal prep and nutrition: plan healthy dinners for the week, prep ingredients, or cook in batches.  Maybe even schedule that dentist appointment or physical therapy session you've been putting off. Taking care of your physical well-being will boost your energy and mood for the rest of the day. Do deep work or professional tasks: Use the quiet time to focus on work projects or passion projects without interruptions. This could mean building your business (developing a product, marketing, content creation), working on tasks for your job that require concentration, or even starting a side hustle from home.  It might be the perfect window to record a podcast episode or write that book or blog you've dreamed about while the house is silent. If you're pursuing a career goal like earning a certification or applying for jobs, dedicate a block of time to that. Treat these school hours as your “deep focus” sessions to really move the needle on work that matters to you. Learn and grow: Take an online course or use the time to read personal development or business books, listen to inspiring podcasts, or practice a hobby (paint, play an instrument, write in a journal). These hours are a gift for personal growth… seize them to feed your mind and passion. Knock out home and life admin tasks: Get your household organized so that evenings can be more relaxed. For example, do the laundry and cleaning in the morning so you're free to play with the kids later. Declutter a room or tackle that messy closet.  Run errands strategically: if grocery shopping with your children feels like a nightmare, do it solo while they're at school (or order groceries online for delivery). Take the car for service, go to the bank, or handle appointments (haircuts, doctor visits) during this window. By handling errands and chores now, you won't have them weighing on you during family time. Nurture your relationships and social life:  It's healthy and energizing to connect with other adults when you have some free time. Plan a coffee date or lunch with a friend or your spouse once in a while during school hours. Join a local moms' group meetup, or simply call a family member to catch up. Human connection and laughter can recharge you. Also, if you and your partner can swing it, the occasional daytime date while kids are in school... even just a walk or lunch together… can be a fun way to reconnect without needing a sitter. Take care of YOU (self-care time):  Yes, productivity includes self-care, because if you burn out, nothing else works well. So don't feel guilty about using some school time for yourself. In fact, schedule it in. Maybe that means enjoying quiet “me time” to recharge: take a relaxing bath, sit in a park with a coffee, or simply revel in the silence at home to meditate or pray. It could be booking a massage, facial, or therapy session guilt-free, since you're not missing family time to do it.   Eliminate Distractions and Time-Wasters Guard those school hours from distractions. It's easy to lose precious minutes (which turn into hours) by checking texts, scrolling social media, or getting pulled into emails constantly throughout the day.  Identify your personal time-wasters… and nix them.  Take an honest look at where your time tends to “leak” away. Is it the rabbit hole of social media? Random online shopping? Unplanned chats with a neighbor or lengthy coffee breaks? We often don't realize how these add up.  Use productivity tricks to stay focused. Many parents find techniques like time blocking helpful. Time blocking means scheduling a fixed block (say 9–10:30am) for a specific task or category of tasks…  and during that block, you only do that.  Accept that things won't always go as planned.  We can craft the perfect schedule on paper…  and then life happens. Kids get sick, the school calls, the car battery dies, you hit an unexpected wall of fatigue, etc.  Productivity experts who are parents stress that you must expect interruptions as a normal part of life rather than an exception. Don't overload yourself or chase perfection.  It's tempting to use every kid-free minute to “get everything under the sun done” – and set unrealistically high expectations.  It's far better to do a few important things well (and include some self-care) than to do 20 things and be too exhausted to enjoy the evening with your kids. So be realistic and kind to yourself when planning your week. Use habits and routines to stay consistent (but adapt when needed). Establishing regular routines can automate your productivity. For instance, if you always exercise right after school drop-off, soon it becomes second nature and requires less willpower.  Maybe 10–11am is always devoted to your top work project, or perhaps you do a 15-minute mindfulness meditation at the same time daily. Routines build momentum and reduce decision fatigue.  Celebrate what you did get done.  At the end of the day, acknowledge and appreciate the things you accomplished... both the personal (“kept the house running, paid the bills”) and professional. Too often we focus on what we didn't do.  Change that habit! Even if your day went off the rails, maybe you managed to comfort a sick child or have an important conversation.. those count too.  By recognizing the value in all you do (paid and unpaid), you maintain a positive mindset.  Productivity isn't just about checking boxes; it's also about feeling fulfilled. If you ended the day with your kids safe, fed, and loved, and you moved the needle on one personal goal (no matter how small) – that's a win.  Plan Your Days, Love Your Afternoons Maximizing your kid-free hours is ultimately about being intentional… with your time, your habits, and your choices.  By planning ahead and aligning your daily actions to your biggest priorities, you create a life where your important work and your family time can both flourish.  Instead of feeling like the school day “just flies by” in a blur of busy-ness, you'll see tangible progress on your goals and still have energy in the tank when it's time for pickup. That's the true reward here: you get to fully enjoy the afternoons and evenings with your children, being present instead of preoccupied. So remember, a great plan is really about freedom, the freedom to spend your time on the things that light you up and the freedom to be the parent (and person) you want to be.  With a little structure and a lot of consistency, you can turn your school-hour routine into a powerhouse of productivity and fulfillment. Plan your days around what matters most, execute those plans with focus (and a dash of flexibility), and watch how much awesome stuff you get done before the school day is even over.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson sits down with Rich Garman, Director of Economic Development and Finance at the North Dakota Department of Commerce, to explore how North Dakota's unique scale and culture enable fast, collaborative economic development. Rich highlights the benefits of a close-knit network where “everybody knows everybody,” the ability to push projects forward at breakneck speed, and the importance of trust and reputation in such a small state. Listeners will come away with insights into what makes North Dakota's approach distinctive and how lessons from the state's nimbleness can inspire economic developers everywhere. Like this show? Please leave us a review here (https://econdevshow.com/rate-this-podcast/) — even one sentence helps! Ten Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Build tight relationships across agencies to speed project approvals. Use small-scale networks to your advantage: connect decision-makers quickly. Develop a reputation for trustworthiness--bad actors get noticed fast. Create systems where a single text or call can move a project forward. Prioritize collaboration over silos; success requires every stakeholder. Emphasize speed to prospective investors--it's a competitive advantage. Highlight cultural strengths (community-mindedness, shared goals) in pitches. Streamline processes wherever possible; eliminate "waiting on someone's desk." Recognize the risk of reputation spread--protect your credibility at all costs. Translate small-state agility lessons into big-state or regional contexts. Special Guest: Rich Garman.

In the story of Martha and Mary, Martha was so consumed with her many tasks that she missed the opportunity to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to His teaching. Her busyness became a barrier, distracting her from the one thing that truly mattered: being present with Jesus. Like Martha, we can let our overloaded schedules keep us from hearing God's voice and stepping into His calling. But Jesus gently reminds us, as He did Martha, to prioritize Him above all else. Will you set aside the distractions and make space to hear and respond to His call?

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Brad Crowell 0:48  Welcome Be It Pod squad. It is September 5th, Friday. It's Fuck Yeah Friday, and I'm, obviously, Brad here, stepping in for Lesley for the first part of this episode. She's gonna take over the second half of this episode here, where we're bringing your wins, and she's going to celebrate a win, but we're going to start today off a little bit differently with an affirmation, in a way that I think Lesley is going to get a kick out of. I hope you really enjoy it. So feel free to sing along. This is an encouraging, amazing song that I've often drawn inspiration from, and I think you're gonna love it. Brad Crowell 1:21  I've paid my dues time after time. I've done my sentence but committed no crime and bad mistakes I've made a few. I've had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I've come through. And on and on and on. We are the champions, my friends, and we'll keep on fighting till the end, because we are the champions. We are the champions. No time for losers, because we are the champions of the world.Brad Crowell 2:24  You know it. You know it. You hear it in the background. You are singing that song, too. I love this song because it's very relatable. You know, even though you know it's Queen and they're like epic rock stars, but listening to those lyrics, listening to that song, is something that I've always found relatable. You know, I've paid my dues time after time. I've done my sentence, but I committed no crime, right? How often do we feel like that, where we are feeling like I'm doing everything right, and yet things still aren't going my way? And maybe along the way, you know, and bad mistakes I've made a few. Maybe along the way we've made some bad mistakes. I've had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I've come through, right. And as a small business owners, you might feel like that too, but you will come through this. And I wanted to celebrate that chorus with you. We are the champions, my friends. You know we're gonna keep fighting. And that's, that's the thing, when you're, when you are, doesn't even have to be just in business, but in life, you know, one foot in front of the other, y'all. Keep on going. Consistency, persistency. You got this. You can do this. We are the champions, and we'll we're the champions of the world. So really excited to have you joining us this week for this Fuck Yeah Friday. I'm gonna pass the torch here on to Lesley to celebrate a few of your wins, and then hopefully, you know, you're gonna take encouragement and send in your own win to us as well so we can celebrate you on an upcoming Fuck Yeah Friday. So thanks for being here today. Lesley Logan 4:00  All right, now, for the next part of the episode where I share a win of yours. So, win of yours. We had a couple wins from Melissa Capitano, so we'll go through these. Stood up for myself when a client tried to bully me, she didn't think I should charge her for a late cancel because she had been a client since the founding owner, and she was good friends with her. She also told me that she never got any warm and fuzzy feelings from me and that I wasn't friendly towards her. I stood my ground. She told me she's going to pretend the conversation didn't happen, and proceeded to buy a 12 pack and book privates with one of my instructors. So I'm counting it as a win. So I just want to say it is interesting being a business owner, the requests that people ask or demand or think that they are worthy or entitled to, it really does show like, I don't know how this person would like live their life, but clearly there was some sort of luxury, or maybe their family was gifted things or given things based on a last name or whatever. But here's the deal, when you agree to a frequent or patronize an establishment, they have rules, and when you participate in that business, you are agreeing to participate with the rules. Now, if you don't like that, you don't have to patronize the establishment. That's why we live where we all have a place like there's more than one Pilates studio. There's more than one lunch place. There's more than one sandwich place. It's extremely rare in most of the world, where you listen to podcasts, that you are the only thing that exists, and even if you are, you still are worthy of having rules and boundaries for how people can participate with you. And the fact that, like, she's been a client with the original owner, that's cool and that she didn't get warm and fuzzy feelings for you, that's not your fault, right? You weren't creating a best friend environment. You were creating a business that can make people safe and have a place where they can call home for their Pilates practice for years and years to come. So, way to go, Melissa, way to stand for yourself. And I think it's hilarious. It's just like, okay, well, this conversation didn't happen. Like, interesting. Sometimes we have to be a mirror for people. Okay, you have another win. So my win. I'm on the road now, on our way to a family reunion. I needed this break. I've been teaching 35 to 45 hours a week for the last three months. I seriously thought about just staying home and letting my family go, but I remembered what Ella said about you're not helping anyone if you burn yourself out. So anyway, we are on the way stop to pick up lunch, taking Brad and Lesley with me on the road. She's wearing a shirt with Brad and I on it, and I love that so much. And it's really, thank you Melissa for making this a win so we could talk about this as a group. Seriously, you're a zero help to anyone burnt out. You are so not helpful to anyone. One of my friends from a group that I was in. I, by the time I'm recording this, I'm seeing that her husband's in the hospital, and like her, she and her kids, like, flew immediately to go see him. He was in a different state than where they live, and after about 36 hours, she flew the kids back home, because taking care of the kids and him and herself is, like, not an option, right? And the hospital's not the place where they can feel stress free and like, where little children can like, relax either. So she did something for herself so she doesn't burn out, right? So everyone can be protected. There's no right answers in those situations. You might have done something differently, but the point I'm sharing with that story is, Melissa's story, with you is there's always a reason to not go on the trip. There's always a reason to not start the thing. There's always a reason to not take the day off or not go out. And if what the thing that you are saying you don't want to do is used to fill your cup and you're just tired, go do it, because it's going to fill your cup. You're not going to fill your cup at home. You're going to find things to do at home. You're not going to relax. You're not going to rest when you are working that hard in your business, and there are seasons for that you must make sure you are taking care of yourself. So, Melissa, kudos to you. Hats off to you. And thank you for sharing this win so that other people can be inspired that that that is something that they can do. So if you are feeling like close to burnout now, my loves like, what is the thing that you are thinking you shouldn't do? Right? Are you already making excuses? Like, oh, you know that that October trip I shouldn't do. I had somebody reach out about the Cambodia retreat, and they're like, I really want to go. This is like, my dream retreat, but I just start a new job, like, five months before the retreat. Okay, totally understand not every job is reasonable. Maybe they don't have vacation time built up by five months. But also, like you're not gonna lose your job by saying, hey, by the way, in October, I need one week off to take care of myself. If you show your work that you are a better employee after resting, they're going to let you do that. Most places do. Now, you work for an asshole. I can't help you there. Lesley Logan 8:40  All right, a win of ours. So we actually released an app this summer, guys, we did it. Our team did it. It hit the deadlines that we'd set for ourselves. It works. People are using it. They love it. So we've always had, we've already had an app for OPC. People could take classes. You don't have to be a member to use the app, like you can listen to podcast on it. There's like, free tutorials you can watch on it. There's some free challenges. But if you're a member, you can be in the community. You can chat with us, you can take your classes on the app. Makes it really fun to do is take it yourself wherever your phone can go or your iPad can go. So we've been working on that for Profitable Pilates, and it's beautiful. It's really simple. It's really easy for our members to use. So, Agency members, instead of being in Slack now have one place to go to chat with the community, to share their wins, to have a moment to watch videos from me that are notes of inspiration, to see when the next office hours is, to book coaching calls, to watch courses all in one place. And for seven half years prior to this, they had to go to a website and to Slack and, you know, all this different stuff. And so we're, you know, we're so grateful that the way that technology has gone, that we have this opportunity to do this. And I'm really happy with the way the app is, way it looks, way people are using it. I'm just so proud. So this is one of those wins that months in the making and was a more of a team win than a me win. But you know, I am someone who often doesn't like change. I know it's kind of crazy. You think I love change the way I like preach like you should, like, just act like you're already the person you want to be. But like, I always worry about, like, oh my God, we have to transition people from one thing to the other thing. Are they going to do it? Will they come? Are we going to lose people? I don't want people to have a bad time. Like, there's a lot that can go wrong in a transition. And we, you know, it's hand holding everybody is not the easiest thing to do. Some people need it. And so I just am so grateful and so excited for what we've done. And now, y'all, if you want to coach with us, you get to use an app, and it's great. And of course, there's still Zoom calls and things like that. Anyways, really, really grateful for that, really, really proud of that huge win, and I'm just glad I get to celebrate that with you. Lesley Logan 10:53  Okay, your affirmation, another affirmation, but one that's a little easier. There is something in this world that only I can do, that is why I'm here. There is something in this world that only I can do, that is why I'm here. There's something in this world that only I can do, that is why I'm here. You know why I love this it's because I literally tell our aAgency members all of the time, you are the only person who can do what you do the way that you do it. Sometimes I have to say it slower for people to hear it. You are the only person who can do what you do the way that you do it. There are many people who went to the same training that I did in 2008 and are the same age and have the same experience and we teach differently. There are people who stayed with Jay and Sandy and all these people, and we all teach Pilates in theory the same way, and yet they'll be different than me always, and I'll be different than them.

Today's guest is Tim Shieff. Tim is a former world champion freerunner and Ninja Warrior competitor, and the founder of Way of the Rope. After years of high-level competition, he discovered Rope Flow as a way to restore rhythm, coordination, and resilience in movement. Today, he shares this practice worldwide, blending athletic creativity with a simple, sustainable philosophy: low-tech equipment for a high-tech body. In this episode, we explore the transformative power of diverse movement practices in athletic training. From track and field to parkour, breakdance, swimming, and rope flow, we explore how these disciplines shape skill development and reveal the qualitative aspects of elite sport movement. Tim also shares his journey from traditional sports to discovering the benefits of innovative movement, offering powerful insights on how athletes can unlock agility, strength, and resilience by taking a holistic approach to training. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength. View more podcast episodes at the podcast homepage. (https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 5:36 – Exploring Yoga, Biomechanics, and Training Through Injury 10:43 – Discovering Movement Connections Through Slow Practice 23:26 – Parkour Training as a Unique Learning Process 31:41 – Balancing Intensity, Recovery, and Longevity in Training 42:08 – The Value of Gentleness in Building Strength 53:30 – Using Constraints to Improve Movement Awareness 59:08 – Applying Martial Intent and Precision in Movement 1:01:31 – Rope Flow as a Tool for Coordination and Rhythm 1:11:17 – Integrating Jump Rope and Rope Flow into Athletic Training Actionable takeaways 5:36 – Exploring Yoga, Biomechanics, and Training Through Injury Key Idea: Tim explains how yoga and biomechanics gave him tools to keep moving through injuries and to rebuild awareness of how his body works. Actionable Takeaways: Use yoga or mindful movement practices as low-intensity ways to stay connected when injured. Pay attention to biomechanics during rehab—it's not just about healing tissue, but about moving better long-term. Reframe injuries as opportunities to explore different forms of movement. 10:43 – Discovering Movement Connections Through Slow Practice Key Idea: Slowing things down can reveal hidden connections between muscles, joints, and fascia. Tim found value in practicing movement slowly before adding intensity. Actionable Takeaways: Strip movements down and slow them until you can feel the sequence. Use slow practice as a diagnostic tool to notice leaks, compensations, or missing links. Build control first, then layer on speed and power. 23:26 – Parkour Training as a Unique Learning Process Key Idea: Parkour introduced Tim to exploration, problem-solving, and adapting movement to different environments. Actionable Takeaways: Use obstacle-based tasks to force creative movement solutions. Train adaptability—don't just repeat drills, but give athletes problems to solve. Embrace exploration: movement learned through play tends to stick. 31:41 – Balancing Intensity, Recovery, and Longevity in Training Key Idea: Tim highlights that chasing intensity every session can shorten careers—longevity requires balance. Actionable Takeaways: Periodize intensity with recovery—don't redline every workout. Prioritize sustainability: ask “Can I do this 10 years from now?” Recovery practices are as important as the training itself. 42:08 – The Value of Gentleness in Building Strength Key Idea: Strength doesn't always come from force—sometimes it's built by gentleness, precision, and subtlety. Actionable Takeaways: Explore lighter, more mindful work instead of always going maximal. Recognize that gentleness can rewire coordination in ways brute strength cannot. Use precise, controlled practice as a pathway to more efficient power later.

In this episode, Vera and Renae explore bulimorexia—a term used for people who oscillate between restriction and binge/purge behaviors—and how this mixed pattern might help explain stubborn relapse rates across eating disorders and food addiction. Dr. Norton shares her clinical lens on risks (medical and psychological), why some traditional programs may miss the mark, and what a holistic, skills-based, harm-reduction treatment can look like (family involvement, gentle re-feeding, DBT/EMDR, food quality, and relapse prevention). Note: Some views expressed are the guest's opinions and experience. This episode is educational and not medical advice. Please consult your care team. What we cover Defining “bulimorexia”: alternating restriction with binge/purge; how it differs from anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa; why it's easier to hide than classic anorexia. Continuum vs. categories: where binge eating disorder fits; overlap with food addiction. Why relapse is common: risks of aggressive refeeding; short-stay residential models; lack of individualized care; missing family systems support. Medical risks (high-level): cardiac arrhythmias and hypotension, esophageal tears/GERD, laxative misuse and constipation, electrolyte disturbance, kidney strain, dental/enamel erosion, parotid swelling, menstrual disruption and fertility concerns. Psychological load: anxiety/OCD traits, depression, social avoidance; the “addiction to restricting” and the short-term ‘high' of hunger. Treatment principles Dr. Norton uses: Gentle, stepwise re-feeding (small, frequent meals; stabilize blood sugar; avoid triggering extremes). Skills over meal plans (shop, prep, and eat whole foods; mindful interoception). DBT for arousal regulation, plus EMDR and trauma work as indicated. Family-based involvement (Maudsley-style boundaries and support). Movement re-entry: slow, safe progression; curbing compulsive exercise. Relapse prevention: strong parent/caregiver alignment, food routines, anxiety skills, and ongoing monitoring. Contested terrain: ultra-processed food, additives, and differing regulations by region; the guest's emphasis on “clean/organic” sourcing. Intermittent fasting cautions: for restrict-prone folks, it can mask restriction; prefer regular, structured eating. What recovery can look like: decreased self-hatred, restored relationships, school/work re-engagement, and more flexible functioning. Resources from the guest: forthcoming book Below the Radar: What They're Not Telling You About Your Food; wellness tools she finds helpful. Suggested chapter markers 00:00 Welcome & guest intro 02:20 What is “bulimorexia”? How it differs from AN/BN 10:55 Why relapse stays high; critique of standard programs 18:30 Medical complications: heart, GI, dental, endocrine 28:15 Psychological patterns: anxiety, OCD traits, depression 34:40 Treatment pillars: re-feeding, DBT/EMDR, family work 45:05 Food quality and UPFs: guest's perspective & debate 53:10 Intermittent fasting cautions; safe movement 58:20 Relapse prevention & outcomes 1:04:10 Advice to clinicians, families, and society 1:08:00 What's next for Dr. Norton & closing Key takeaways (listener-friendly) Mixed patterns (restricting and binge/purge) may be under-recognized and can carry high medical risk. Slow, individualized re-feeding plus emotion-regulation skills (DBT) and family involvement improve safety and engagement. If you're prone to restriction, consistent meals beat fasting. Recovery gains include less self-hatred, more connection, and functional life goals—progress over perfection. Sensitive content note This episode discusses eating-disorder behaviors (restriction, purging, laxatives, insulin manipulation) and medical complications. Please use discretion and support.

For clinicians Screen for mixed presentations (restrict + purge), including non-vomit purging (laxatives, insulin manipulation). Prioritize medical monitoring (vitals, electrolytes) during re-feeding; avoid one-size-fits-all calorie jumps.

What does it really mean to grow your business? In this episode, Morgan Weber of Lucky Pup shares why growth isn't always the answer and how defining success on your own terms is crucial for long-term sustainability. She unpacks the danger of chasing vanity metrics, the importance of budgeting your time like your finances, and why business owners must avoid resentment and burnout. Morgan also explains how to build a “filter system” based on values and goals to guide decision-making. Whether you're solo or scaling, this is an honest look at staying aligned in a world pushing constant expansion. Main Topics Time, money, and energy profit Boundaries and burnout prevention Making values-based decisions Vanity metrics vs real success Transitioning to pet retail ownership Main takeaway: ““You don't get an award for how much pain you carry.” In pet care, it's easy to fall into the trap of overworking, overgiving, and overcommitting. But martyrdom isn't a badge of honor—it's a fast track to burnout. Your clients don't expect you to sacrifice everything, and your business won't thrive if you're running on empty. Instead, choose sustainability. Set boundaries. Prioritize time, energy, and joy. You deserve a business that supports your life—not one that consumes it. About our guest: Morgan Weber is a multi-passionate entrepreneur and the founder of Lucky Pup Adventures, a pet sitting and dog walking company launched in 2013. Following a deeply personal loss, she founded Memory Flame Candle Co. to bring comfort to grieving hearts. She also hosts the Lucky Pup Podcast and offers coaching for pet professionals, helping them build values-based businesses. Most recently, Morgan and her husband purchased a local pet supply store, adding retail ownership to their entrepreneurial journey. With a background in design and a heart for community, Morgan helps others grow intentionally and sustainably.

“Content is still important, but content is much more of a commodity. So the premise has to be that we've got to create something…It has to include conversation, it has to include community, it has to include the idea that there's going to be something that's analog that happens.”In this week's episode of The Speaker Lab, Grant Baldwin chats with Brad Lomenick about what truly makes speakers memorable. Brad's big takeaway is that being great to work with matters even more than being the most dynamic person on stage.Brad shares that self-awareness is key: know your strengths, get feedback, and focus on the type of events where you shine. He also highlights the importance of personal touches like connecting with organizers, knowing your audience, and showing genuine kindness.Ultimately, it's the offstage moments and relationships you build that lead to lasting success.

In this episode, host Dr. Bradley Block picks up with Dr. Cheryl Chase for part 2 on enhancing executive functioning for physicians and high-performers. They explore self-monitoring tools like tone tapes (or music playlists with varying intervals), buzzing devices, timers, and apps such as Brick for blocking distractions. Dr. Chase discusses visual timers for better time perception, productivity apps like ToDoist, Trello, and Notion, and prioritization using the Eisenhower matrix to sort tasks by urgency and importance. She emphasizes delegating to free up time and replenishing the "EF bucket" with mindfulness practices (e.g., box breathing), exercise, sipping glucose-rich beverages, sleep, and nurturing relationships. Drawing from Dr. Russ Barkley's insights, these strategies help anyone—not just those with ADHD—optimize focus, persist through tasks, and maintain work-life balance. This episode wraps up the series with essential tips for thriving in demanding roles.Three Actionable Takeaways:Enhance Self-Monitoring with Tools – Use tone tapes (or playlists with varying song lengths), buzzing watches, or timers to check in on your focus at random intervals; for distractions, try apps like Brick to physically lock social media until you complete tasks.Prioritize and Delegate Effectively – Apply the Eisenhower matrix to categorize tasks by urgency and importance, focusing on high-impact items first; delegate non-essential duties after investing time to teach others, freeing up your schedule for what matters most.Replenish Your EF Bucket – Before EF-heavy tasks, practice box breathing (inhale/hold/exhale/hold for 4 counts each) or mindful minutes; incorporate exercise (20-30 minutes, 2-3 times/week), sip glucose-rich beverages while working, prioritize sleep, diet, and social connections to boost cognitive fuel.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

The mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul are calling on Governor Tim Walz to schedule a special session where gun restrictions would be considered. And as school started in many locations in the metro today, Minneapolis police have increased patrols around schools and places of worship. St. Paul's police department offered extra police presence to all public and private schools in that city.A new program in St. Cloud will provide free school supplies to some students this year.All that and more in today's evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.

I'm partnering with Rocket PD to offer a live-virtual cohort called Unlocking Teacher Productivity starting October 2nd. This isn't a self-paced course you sign up for and maybe forget about. It's a deep-dive, interactive experience where we'll meet every Thursday for five 90-minute sessions. The sessions run from 5:30–7:00 PM ET, which I know might be early for west coasters—not to mention international folks—and I'm sorry, time zones make it sooo hard! But know this: you don't have to attend live. You'll get access to the recordings so you can watch anytime. If you have a scheduling conflict for one of the Thursday evenings in October, it's not a problem. Here's how it works: each week, we'll meet over Zoom. There will be a mix of my teaching (you'll see my face and slides), short periods for quiet reflection—meaning I'll pause periodically for you to complete exercises so you don't have to do them afterward on your own time—and opportunities for discussion with other educators during the 90-minute session if that's something that appeals to you. I'll also answer questions afterward if you'd like personalized advice. We're going to cover practical systems and strategies to help you get control over your time and your work. You'll learn how to: Get your email under control once and for all. Organize your digital files so you can actually find what you need. Build a to-do list system that doesn't live in your brain 24/7. Plan lessons in advance in a way that's flexible and responsive to your students—no more scrambling the night before. Prioritize high-impact work so you can spend less time on busywork and more time on what really matters for learning. Explore time-blocking, AI tools, productivity for students, and more. Now, if you've taken my 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Full Year course, yes—there's some overlap in concepts, like the target number planner. But this cohort is live and interactive, rather than self-paced, and has built-in accountability because we meet each week and check in to see how the strategies are working for you. And, it's only a five-week commitment. I'll give a variety of options for “homework” between sessions: stuff you can just reflect on if that's all you have time for, easy actionable steps to try out, and deep dives if you really want to get results. Regardless of which option you choose, you'll have time each week to reflect, discuss how to apply what you're learning, and report back the next week. It's accountability in the best sense—you're not just consuming information; you're actively putting it into practice. Remember, you don't have to attend every live session. You'll get recordings of every session plus a downloadable workbook. Templates, systems, and strategies are all included—it's ready to implement immediately. Plus, you'll receive a nationally recognized PD certificate for CEUs. This cohort is designed to be practical and doable: real solutions that will stick with you for your whole K-12 teaching career, no matter what or where you teach in the future.  This is only offered once per year, so if you've been waiting for a chance to finally get your teaching life organized, to feel on top of your time, and to plan ahead without burnout—this is it. Spaces are limited. Sign up below for my cohort or others happening this fall: https://rocketpd.com/cohorts/unlocking-teacher-productivity-with-angela-watson/

Borderline personality disorder can be understood as the extreme version of codependency, where, at the core are adult adult children who have suffered from abandonment, rejection, abuse, neglect, and trauma. When an innocent child is unable, through no fault of their own, to connect with their primary caregiver, and especially when that caregiver is actually a source of pain, suffering and instability, the brain of that child is forced to live from the plane of survival. Due to default settings of the personality, brain and nervous system, for the one who has been denied a healthy attachment and who at the same time, also learned that they could not and should not trust the one caring for them, the inner world becomes trapped below the veil of consciousness, living in fear of the love the being so desperately craves.  How Narcissistic Parents Contribute to Borderline Personality Development Children of narcissistic parents often grow up in environments marked by emotional unpredictability. One moment, the parent may be intrusive, critical, or controlling, and the next they may be cold, withdrawn, or dismissive. This creates a push-pull dynamic where the child never feels secure. Over time, this instability fragments the child's developing sense of self. Because their emotional needs are dismissed or punished, the child learns to fear abandonment while simultaneously fearing engulfment. They internalize the belief that love is unstable, unsafe, and conditional.  As adults, this unresolved conflict can manifest as borderline traits: Intense fear of abandonment Unstable self-image Difficulty regulating emotions Stormy, chaotic relationships These symptoms are not “character flaws” but survival adaptations to a childhood where the parent's narcissism left no room for stable, secure attachment. How Narcissistic Parents Create Codependency While borderline traits stem from instability, codependency develops from self-abandonment. In a narcissistic home, children quickly learn that their parent's approval, affection, or even basic safety hinges on meeting the parent's emotional needs.  The child becomes hypervigilant, scanning the parent for shifts in mood, anticipating outbursts, and adapting themselves to keep the peace. This conditioning teaches the child: “My needs don't matter.” “I must earn love by taking care of others.” “If I say no, I'll lose connection.” As adults, these children often: Over-function in relationships Prioritize others' needs above their own Struggle to set boundaries without guilt Confuse love with caretaking or control This is the essence of codependency: a pattern of chronic self-abandonment rooted in early survival strategies. ✅ Bottom line: Both borderline personality traits and codependency share the same root wound — a lack of secure, validating parental love. One path (borderline) reflects the inner chaos of unstable attachment, while the other (codependency) reflects the learned habit of self-erasure for connection. Both are survival strategies that can be unlearned through conscious healing, reparenting, and building self-trust. Ready to breakthrough these subconscious patterns?

In this episode, we dive into how educators can intentionally reset their classroom culture at the start of the school year. Whether you're teaching brand-new students or welcoming back familiar faces, the first weeks are the perfect time to establish the norms, routines, and relationships that will shape the months ahead. We'll discuss practical strategies to create a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment where every student feels seen and supported. Quotables "The one thing that made me a really strong teacher, wasn't that I knew how to build culture, it was that I knew how to sustain culture." "Prioritize routines, procedures, and expectations that are the most important." "Be comfortable with the reset." Join the Always A Lesson Newsletter Join here and grab a freebie!

Want your teen to swap scrolling for soul-filling creativity? Curious how “mind-watching” (kids' word for mindfulness) can calm thought-storms and build resilience? In this episode, Colleen talks with artist and youth-mental-health advocate Rafael McMaster, founder of Indivisible Arts. Rafael shares how a 30-minute “Fundamental Life Tools” practice—taught in kid language and paired with an hour of hands-on art—helps teens regulate emotions, focus, and reconnect with purpose. You'll hear how peer mentorship supercharges buy-in, why phones naturally disappear when real-life creativity is compelling, and how gratitude “G-flips,” intention setting, and compassion turn chaos into clarity—at home, in school, and even for foster youth. About the guestRafael McMaster is a creative director, photographer, and founder/CEO of Indivisible Arts, a nonprofit in LA County dedicated to cultivating one million conscious youth through art, mentorship, and practical mindfulness. His forthcoming book, Fundamental Life Tools, distills seven everyday practices—awareness (“mind-watching”), acceptance, intention, gratitude (“G-flip”), compassion, forgiveness/resentment work, and connection—developed with teens and used in after-school labs and high-school classrooms (including Da Vinci Rise). He also pilots Stream of Consciousness • Life, a teen-taught micro-lesson platform. Teach the tool, then do the art. A short, concrete practice (“mind-watching”) before creative time helps kids notice thoughts instead of obeying them—lowering anxiety and boosting self-control. Make IRL more interesting than the phone. When spaces are playful, social, and soulful (music studio, fashion lab, spray-paint alley), teens forget their screens—no rules required. Prioritize the soul over performance. Reframe art as “the language of the soul.” When kids reconnect with joy, presence, and gratitude, grades, sports, and auditions become more tolerable—and often improve—without fear-based pressure.

The photo world is filled with remarkable young and up-and-coming talents. They often don't get the visibility they deserve, so we created Next Frame—a new monthly series aiming to shine a light their way. These bite-sized episodes are equally inspired by the guests we speak with and the invaluable contributions of local creative arts programs that have played a key role in their development. We're launching this series with photographer, filmmaker, and boxing & music aficionado Josh Nass, an alumnus of Baltimore's Wide Angle Youth Media programs. From nailing his Photoshop skills while still in middle school to trading in his boxing gloves for a camera during college and beyond, Josh regales us with practical tips about both the successes and challenges all young creatives must face as they transition from trading pictures for access to molding media skills into a profitable career. Looking back on his early days chasing both music and fashion scenes, Josh notes, “Your main role as a photographer—especially with talent and famous people—you know, I thought I was just making them look cool, but I'm making them money. I'm marketing them for their next tour, for their current tour. Looking back, I've learned a thing or two about how to get users' attention online.” Guest: Josh Nass   Episode Timeline: 2:04: Baltimore/DC-based photographer Josh Nass talks about first picking up a camera to fill his time after hanging up his boxing gloves. 3:40: Leveraging social media to get on stage and photograph his favorite Caribbean singer, then trading free pictures for ongoing access. 7:25: Navigating one's comfort level as an up-and-coming photographer, plus making a distinction between comfort with gear and social ease with subjects and clients. 9:08: Making pictures of cool moments, creative editing decisions to draw out the cool factor, and being first to deliver the files are all key to Josh's success. 14:02: Street hustling at New York Fashion Week to gain access to photograph top artists and celebrities, and the tough lessons Josh learned in the process. 19:06: Josh's connection to Baltimore's Wide Angle Youth Media and the formative role their programs have played in his early photography success. 22:50: Being referred by Wide Angle for a Comcast commercial, and the backstory to what transpired behind-the-scenes.  29:49: Josh weighs future career options and whether he'll choose to pursue photography full time.  35:40: Essential advice for emerging photographers: Prioritize building your skills and don't overvalue your work early on.
