Is Reddit the most overlooked - and potentially most powerful - marketing platform for eCommerce brands today? This week, I'm joined by my friend Danny Kirk, founder of ReddiReach, to explore the high-risk, high-reward nature of Reddit marketing, why it's different from any other platform, and how generative AI is reshaping how people find and trust brands.  Listen in as we talk about how to market on Reddit without getting roasted, how LLMs are changing search and discovery (and what you can do about it), and why Danny's company is betting big on GEO - Generative Engine Optimization. We also dive into Danny's philosophy on productivity, managing team growth, and choosing the right business size for your goals. If you've ever wondered how to build a fulfilling business that doesn't eat your life, this one's for you.

The two of us philosophize about the distinctions between education versus learning and why even the most prestigious schools are failing today's children.As moms on the homeschooling track, we reveal how we are reclaiming the lost art of lifelong learning and why we are not subscribing to the school system's broken idea of "education" i.e. memorization, regurgitation and rigid metrics. We relish in the endless opportunities to shape our children's worldview and share which values are most important for us to cultivate in our children as they transition into older toddlerhood and ultimately young childhood.Takeaways from our discussion:Nurturing a child's interests can cultivate a lifelong love of learning.Homeschooling doesn't have to be rigid; it can be play-based.Values instilled at home shape a child's worldview.Community plays a vital role in a child's developing group dynamics skills.Food choices impact a child's health and awareness.Creative play is essential for learning and development.Observation and awe are key in developing mindfulness.Breaking free from traditional education can empower children.Language development is fostered through real-world communication.Patience and presence are crucial in nurturing a child's growth.PS- Our MOTR merch has dropped!

If you're trapped in the exhausting cycle of all-or-nothing thinking around food and recovery, this episode will revolutionize your entire approach. Fresh back from vacation, Lindsey shares the powerful "Both/And Recovery" strategy that finally breaks you free from black-and-white extremes and helps you find the beautiful gray area where real healing happens. You'll discover why perfectionist recovery keeps you stuck, learn specific Both/And reframes for common recovery struggles, and walk away with a tangible 3-step practice to implement this week. This isn't about being perfect at recovery—it's about being human while healing. What You'll Learn ✨ Why all-or-nothing thinking keeps you trapped in recovery cycles ✨ The revolutionary Both/And approach that changes everything ✨ Specific reframes for "good vs. bad" food thinking ✨ How to hold space for fear AND commitment simultaneously ✨ Why the "gray area" is where your freedom actually lives ✨ A practical 3-step method to implement Both/And thinking this week Key Takeaways The All-or-Nothing Prison Your brain categorizes everything as perfect or disaster, on-track or off-track, good foods or bad foods. This binary thinking keeps you swinging between extremes and never experiencing the freedom you crave. The space between extremes isn't the danger zone—it's where all the magic happens. The Both/And Revolution You can hold two seemingly opposite truths simultaneously, and this is where real healing occurs. Recovery isn't about choosing sides—it's about embracing complexity and being beautifully, imperfectly human. Why This Changes Everything The Both/And approach removes the pressure that keeps you stuck. When you stop trying to be perfect at recovery, you actually start recovering. Recovery isn't about eliminating difficult thoughts—it's about learning to hold space for all of it. Powerful Both/And Recovery Examples Fear & Courage Instead of: "I have to be brave to start recovery" Both/And: "I can be both scared of recovery AND committed to it" Restriction & Nourishment Instead of: "I either restrict or I'm out of control" Both/And: "I can both want to restrict AND choose to nourish myself" Body Image Struggles Instead of: "I have to love my body all the time" Both/And: "I can both love my body AND have days when I struggle with it" Food Morality Instead of: "Foods are either good or bad" Both/And: "I can be both 'good' at eating AND have chaotic food days" Recovery Process Instead of: "I'm either perfect at recovery or failing" Both/And: "I can be both in recovery AND not perfect at it" Weight & Health Instead of: "I'm either fat or skinny" Both/And: "I can both be my natural weight AND not love every inch every day" Structure & Flexibility Instead of: "I need rigid routine or I'm lost" Both/And: "I can both crave routine AND need flexibility" Your Both/And Recovery Practice (This Week) Step 1: Notice Your All-or-Nothing Thoughts Catch yourself thinking in extremes about food, body, or recovery. Examples: "I ruined the day" "I'm either on track or off track" "I have to be perfect at this" Step 2: Practice the Both/And Reframe Transform extreme thoughts with "both/and" language: "I both had a challenging food day AND I can nourish myself at my next meal" "I both struggled today AND I'm still committed to my healing" Step 3: Choose Your Next Right Action From this Both/And space, take one small step toward recovery: Eat your next planned meal Call a friend for support Practice self-compassion instead of self-criticism Revolutionary Quotes to Remember "The gray area you've been afraid of? That's not the danger zone—that's where your freedom lives." "Recovery isn't about eliminating all the difficult thoughts and feelings. Recovery is about learning to hold space for all of it—the fear AND the courage, the struggle AND the strength." "The moment you stop trying to be perfect at recovery is the moment you actually start recovering." "You can both feel uncertain about this approach AND try it anyway. You can both be scared of letting go of control AND take one small step toward freedom." "Your recovery doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful. Your healing doesn't have to be linear to be real." Personal Story: Post-Vacation Recovery Evolution Lindsey shares her transformation from post-vacation restriction panic to flexible re-entry into routine. Learn how the Both/And approach allows you to both crave structure AND ease back into real life without rigidity—a perfect metaphor for recovery itself. The Science Behind Both/And Thinking Why All-or-Nothing Thinking Develops Eating disorders thrive on binary thinking Perfectionism creates impossible standards Black-and-white thoughts feel "safer" but create more suffering How Both/And Thinking Heals Reduces perfectionist pressure Allows for human complexity Creates space for growth and mistakes Normalizes the recovery process Ready to Live the Both/And Approach? If this episode resonated but you're unsure how to implement Both/And thinking in your daily recovery, you don't have to figure it out alone. Take Your Recovery to the Next Level: In Lindsey's one-on-one coaching, you'll dive deep into applying the Both/And approach to your specific struggles—trigger foods, difficult emotions, body image challenges, all of it. Because knowing about this approach and actually living it are two different things. Next Steps: Fill out a client application at www.herbestself.co to work together on finding your gray area, your Both/And space, where your real life and real recovery can finally coexist. Remember: You can both be exactly where you are right now AND be on your way to somewhere beautiful. Connect With Lindsey

The #BackOffBobbie campaign lives on, because someone has to say what Operation Stork Speed refused to: the real risk in formula isn't just seed oils or trace heavy metals (the red herrings distracting the #MAHA moms). It's cronobacter, a rare but deadly bacteria that continues to fly under the radar while mommy influencers parade USDA organic labels and metal-free test results like gold stars.This week, we're joined by Natasha Vargas-Cooper of Radical Moms Union to expose the uncomfortable truths formula companies don't want mothers to know. We talk about the fox guarding the hen house of formula testing, the 626 NEC lawsuits filed against major manufacturer Abbott, RFK Jr.'s murky ties to the formula industry, and how social media marketing has become the newest weapon against maternal instinct.This conversation isn't about shame. It's about power: power in knowledge, power in truth, and power in numbers. It's time to reclaim motherhood from corporate capture. Get involved with RMU if mobilizing mothers to advocate for change makes you excited!

If you're a high-achieving woman who has built an empire of accomplishments but still feels like an outsider looking in, this episode will revolutionize everything you thought you knew about your relationship with food and your body. Today we're exposing the truth behind the staggering statistic that 91% of women diet to belong, and why your weight obsession is actually a belonging crisis in disguise. You'll discover the research-backed connection between restriction and worthiness, learn why your "disciplined" identity is actually a prison, and walk away with 4 revolutionary strategies to reclaim your power this summer. This isn't just another episode about food freedom—this is your call to revolution. What You'll Discover ✨ Why 91% of women use dieting as a belonging strategy (and why it backfires) ✨ The Harvard research that proves relationships matter 10x more than weight for happiness ✨ How your "disciplined identity" around food is actually keeping you small ✨ Why validation addiction through restriction is sabotaging your authentic connections ✨ The revolutionary truth about weight, worth, and belonging that changes everything ✨ 3 power practices you can implement this week to break free from the cycle Shocking Statistics Revealed The Belonging Crisis Numbers 91% of women surveyed on college campuses had attempted to control their weight through dieting 22% of women diet "often" or "always" (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders) 95% of people struggling with food restriction report feeling "different" or "misunderstood" (Center for Mindful Eating) The Research That Changes Everything Harvard's Study of Adult Development: Quality of relationships determines happiness and health more than any other factor—not dress size, not workout routine 95% of diets fail long-term, yet women continue the cycle of restriction 85% of eating disorders start as "normal" dieting behavior Key Revelations The Belonging Wound Your obsession with weight has nothing to do with your weight and everything to do with your wounded belief that you don't belong. You've convinced yourself that belonging is conditional—requiring the right size, perfect discipline, most controlled relationship with food. The Identity Prison You've made restriction your religion and your body your altar. The identity keeping you "safe" from rejection is the same identity keeping you small. When you define yourself as "the disciplined one," you're not building strength—you're building a prison with bars made of other people's opinions. The Validation Addiction Every compliment about your discipline gives you a temporary hit, but validation addiction works like any other addiction—the highs get shorter and the lows get deeper. You need more external approval to feel momentarily worthy. Powerful Quotes to Remember "True belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world." - Brené Brown "The belonging you're seeking through their approval will never be sustainable because it's not real. Real belonging comes from the inside out, not the outside in." Your Belonging Revolution Toolkit: 3 Power Practices Practice 1: The Belonging Mirror Method Every morning before checking your phone, stand in front of your mirror and say: "I belong here. In this body, in this life, in this world. Not because of what I weigh, but because of who I am." Then name three things you're grateful your body can do. This rewires your brain from criticism to celebration. Practice 2: The Summer Freedom Food Challenge This week, choose one food you've been restricting and eat it mindfully in a social setting. Maybe it's ice cream on a date, bread at dinner with friends. The goal isn't the food—it's practicing belonging while nourishing yourself. Notice how no one cares what you're eating as much as you think they do. Practice 3: The Energy Reclaim Ritual Instead of over-exercising to earn belonging, move your body in ways that make you feel powerful. Dance in your living room. Walk in nature. Stretch on your porch. Ask: "How does my body want to move today?" then honor that answer. Transform movement from obligation to celebration. Bonus Practice: The Validation Redirect When you catch yourself seeking approval about food choices, body, or discipline—pause and ask: "What validation do I need to give myself right now?" Then give it to yourself. Out loud. With conviction. The Summer Revolution Challenge This summer, stage a revolution for your body, not against it. For freedom, not restriction. For your soul, not your size. Ask Yourself: What would it look like to show up to summer gatherings as the woman who belongs because she's claimed it through courage? What would it feel like to order what you want because you want it, not because you've "earned" it? What would it mean to wear the swimsuit because you realize your body was always perfect for living your life?

Motherhood demands that we see the beauty and the lessons in the micro moments that most people take for granted while mindlessly scrolling on their phones, rushing out the door, or even when they're physically present but mentally checked out. The magic of motherhood happens in the quotidian, mundane, messy interactions, not in the elaborate, grand gestures.The spiritual calling of motherhood is available to every mother; the question is, is every mother ready to answer its call? When our frenetic society obsessed with metrics, productivity, efficiency, and jam-packed schedules is telling us to do more and be more, that should be our cue to slow down and be nowhere else but present. If we aren't really present for our kids, then what is the point of all of this anyway? What magical, picture-perfect moment are we trying to fast forward to, and why does our culture laud business as if there is no higher honor to achieve? Join just the two of us as we reflect upon how each of us is deepening our response to the spiritual calling of motherhood.Resources + Books Mentioned: Rebecca Giannini - The Present Parents Coaching (code MOTR saves you 15%)Scattered Minds by Dr. Gabor Mate, MDThe Conscious Parent by Dr. Shefali Tsabary, MDThe Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents by Deepak ChopraSupport the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

Welcome to the SpeakUPZee Podcast, the show designed to motivate, inspire, and uplift you to become the best version of yourself!Sometimes the hardest lesson we have to learn is that not everyone deserves repeated access to us. In this episode, Zee opens up about the cycle of forgiveness, second chances, and why protecting your peace is more important than proving your love.If you keep finding yourself back in the same painful situation with the same people, it might be time to stop offering new chances to those who keep showing you who they are.

If you're the woman everyone sees as "having it all together" but you secretly battle food thoughts every day, this episode is for you. Today we're exposing the lies high-achieving women tell themselves about carbs and revealing why your fear of bread, pasta, and fruit has nothing to do with discipline and everything to do with identity. You'll discover the science behind why your brain needs carbohydrates to function, hear a powerful client transformation story, and walk away with 3 tangible strategies you can implement this week to start eating freely this summer. What You'll Learn ✨ Why your identity as "the disciplined one" might actually be keeping you trapped ✨ The scientific truth about carbs and brain function that diet culture doesn't want you to know ✨ How restriction is literally impacting your cognitive performance and mood ✨ Why the most successful women struggle most with food freedom ✨ 3 immediate action steps to break free from carb fear this summer Key Takeaways The Identity Trap Your fear of carbs isn't really about carbs—it's about who you think you'll become if you eat them Being "the woman who doesn't need carbs" has become a prison disguised as discipline True discipline looks like nourishing your body, not restricting it The Science You Need to Know Your brain uses 120 grams of glucose daily (480 calories worth of carbohydrates) Glucose is the primary fuel source for your prefrontal cortex (decision-making center) Low-carb diets can impair cognitive performance and mood regulation Carbs are essential for serotonin production (your happiness neurotransmitter) The Summer Shift This summer can be different, but it requires challenging the identity you've built around restriction and embracing a new definition of what it means to be disciplined and successful. 3 Strategies to Break Free From Fear Foods This Summer Strategy 1: The Summer Food Dare Choose one carb you've been avoiding and eat it mindfully this week. Notice how your body feels and remind yourself: "I am safe. I am nourished. I am worthy of enjoyment." Strategy 2: The Identity Reframe Journal Practice Every morning write: "I am a woman who nourishes herself well." List what you WILL eat to fuel your life instead of what you WON'T eat. Strategy 3: The Carb Curiosity Experiment For one week, approach carbs with curiosity instead of fear. When the voice says "you don't need that," respond with "I'm curious how this will make me feel." Featured Client Story Hear how Lindsey's client, a doctor by trade and marathon runner, went from being unable to eat a bagel without spiraling to enjoying pizza with her kids and pasta on date nights—while actually improving her energy and work performance. Research Mentioned American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: Brain glucose requirements Journal of Nutrition: Cognitive performance and carb intake MIT Research: Carbohydrates and serotonin synthesis International Journal of Eating Disorders: Flexible vs. rigid eating patterns Quotes to Remember "Your fear of carbs isn't about the carbs—it's about losing control of an identity built on restriction." "The only bad thing about carbs is the people who tell you not to eat them." "Your brain runs on glucose, not willpower." "You don't earn carbs. You deserve them because you're alive."

Have you ever wondered how to pull off a team retreat that's actually fun, productive, and builds real connection? After years of trial and error, I've finally found a rhythm that works. In this episode, I break down exactly how we designed our recent team retreat in Mexico City, what made it a success, and some of the biggest mistakes I've made in the past (think: go-karts and back injuries). Listen in as I walk through our retreat schedule—from soaking in cliffside hot springs and taking a taco tour to having deep team conversations about AI and productivity. I talk about why your primary focus should not be productivity (even if that's tough as a founder), why food tours are criminally underrated, and how one cocktail mixing class turned into the most memorable night of the trip. I'll also share how I prep both myself and the team before the retreat, who I think should get an invite, and why renting an Airbnb beats hotel conference rooms every time.

Send us a textThe ongoing activities throughout the U.S. by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been dominating the news cycle recently and concerns and questions are growing about what to do if you or someone you love has an interaction with ICE at your place of employment, school or inside your community.  Association boards face unique challenges in today's immigration environment. Should boards and their management professionals screen residents for immigration status? What about the employees of association vendors or the residents' employees? In this week's Take It To The Board podcast, host Donna DiMaggio Berger sits down with immigration law expert Ira Kurzban (he literally wrote THE BOOK on Immigration Law) for a behind-the-scenes look at his Supreme Court arguments, current ICE enforcement tactics, and a comprehensive discussion on what could happen if federal agents arrive at private residential communities.A personal story sets the stage as Ira shares how his father arrived alone from Romania at age 12. This profound connection to immigration fueled Ira's decades-long legal advocacy, including arguing McNary v. Haitian Refugee Center before the Supreme Court – a landmark case that preserved judicial review of constitutional challenges to the immigration system.The conversation shifts to practical concerns for community associations as immigration enforcement intensifies. Donna and Ira deliver clear guidance on Fourth Amendment protections, explaining the critical distinction between administrative and judicial warrants when ICE agents appear at association properties. They emphasize that private communities retain significant rights to verify warrants and protect resident privacy.Whether you serve on a board, manage a community, or simply care about constitutional rights, this conversation provides essential insights for navigating the complex intersection of immigration enforcement and private property rights. Listen now to understand what's at stake when federal authorities knock on your community's door.Conversation Highlights: Why social media has significantly influenced both immigration policy and public perception of immigrantsWhat key immigration reform Ira recommends for today's policymakers and why it mattersHow certain countries are successfully balancing border protection with legal immigration and population growthWhy board members and property managers should understand their legal rights and obligations when immigration authorities approach private residential communitiesWhat immediate, informed actions boards need to take if ICE arrives at a property to avoid facing legal consequences How Ira prepared for and argued the landmark McNary v. Haitian Refugee Center case before the U.S. Supreme Court, and its impact on immigration lawHow immigration law is expected to evolve over the next 5 to 10 years and what factors will drive that changeRelated Links:Article: Miami Herald Op Ed: In South Florida, when ICE comes knocking, how should your HOA react?Book: Kurzbans Immigration Law Sourcebook, 15th EditionArticle: Becker Service Announcement: Florida's New Immigration LawBiography: Ira Kurzban

This episode unpacks the importance of networking for health professionals who want to pivot careers. Years spent in clinical roles often confines health professionals to a siloed environment with limited access to a broader industry network. When you're pivoting out of clinical practice, networking becomes critical as it's more than just ‘meeting people'—it's about opening doors to new ways of thinking, new opportunities, and even a new identity. Clinicians are used to structured environments where roles are clearly defined. But outside of healthcare, career paths aren't always linear, and opportunities often come from conversations rather than job postings.  Networking helps you see what's possible by learning from others who've pursued different paths.  It also helps you find mentors, discover roles you may never have considered, and—most importantly—start being seen as more than your job title. It's one of the most powerful tools for accelerating your pivot. In this episode You will learn: What mindset shifts are needed around networking for clinical professionals What types of networks or people health professionals should connect with outside of clinical settings How to diversify your network when pivoting out of clinical work The best networking strategies or platforms for career pivoters  How to add value to a new network if you're unsure what you bring to the table   Take Action Here are three simple steps you can take this week to start building your network—without overwhelm Reach out to one person you admire who has made a similar pivot Join one new community—this could be a LinkedIn group or a professional association  Update your LinkedIn headline to reflect where you're headed, not just your current role. You don't need a huge network—you need a meaningful one.   MORE WAYS TO CONNECT: Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/104404906/admin/dashboard/     Join the Movement on Instagram: @lifebeyondclinicalpractice  Connect to our Private Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/897241125152990     Rate and Review the show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-beyond-clinical-practice-healthcare-careers-professional/id1713086617    Book a free Complimentary Call with Dr Diane https://calendly.com/lbcp/complimentary-call      Enjoyed this episode?  We think you'll enjoy this one too https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/89-adaptability-skills-necessary-for-embracing-change/id1713086617?i=1000703428232

Remember when we were all about baby-led weaning? While many aspects initially appealed to us, and it was admittedly fun to watch our babies feed themselves 100 new foods prior to age 1, our values and priorities have shifted as we have learned what matters most. Kate Pope, mom of two, nutritionist, certified GAPS practitioner, and founder of the Regenerative Cooking School, explains why and how the GAPS diet is crucial for healing and sealing everyone's gut— from baby's to mom's and beyond— and how the GAPS protocol is what reverses common but not normal symptoms such as eczema, food sensitivities and CMPA (cow's milk protein allergy), just to name a few.We talk about some taboo foodie topics like the culprit behind the rise in egg and peanut allergies, why sweet potato is not an ideal first food, and those popular plastic food puree pouches our society can't seem to part ways with.Follow Kate at @wildnutritionist on Instagram. Code 'OFFTHERECORD' – gives you $55 off any of these three courses:First Foods PlanMama Baby BiomeFeeding Picky EatersSupport the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!
