Most eating plans fail for one simple reason: they were built for perfect conditions.Perfect schedules.Perfect energy.Perfect motivation.But real life isn't perfect — it's the wild.Hormones fluctuate. Kids get sick. Work gets heavy. Appetite is unpredictable (especially on GLP-1s). Decision fatigue hits right when dinner needs to happen. And suddenly your “plan” is gone.In this episode, Dr. Stacy kicks off the Habits in the Wild series by tackling food — and reframing why eating feels hardest when life is stressful.You'll learn:Why “falling off” your eating plan is a design flaw, not a discipline problemThe difference between food in captivity vs. food in the wildWhy protein works as a stabilizing anchor in chaosHow to stop restarting every Monday and build trust with yourself insteadThis episode isn't about perfect nutrition.It's about protecting one protein moment — and letting that be enough.
There is a category of entrepreneur who cannot succeed through self-abandonment.If brute force, strategy stacking, and pushing harder were going to work for you — they would have by now.This episode is a deep dive into how Energetic Business Collective is structured and why it's built the way it is.Not as another formula.Not as another marketing playbook.Not as a step-by-step execution container.But as an identity-first, nervous-system-safe, energetically aligned business architecture.Inside this episode, I walk you through:Why awareness alone isn't enough (and why Human Design without subconscious integration eventually hits a wall)The real reason “just give me a plan” doesn't actually solve the problemThe five-part arc of EBC (vision, energetic blueprint, lived experimentation, subconscious recalibration, sustainable integration)What Subconscious RX actually is and why it changes everythingHow the Alignment Dashboard becomes your long-term operating systemWhy this container is intentionally spacious and cappedWho this is for — and who it isn'tYou don't leave EBC with a funnel.You leave with a compass.You don't leave dependent on another strategy.You leave with discernment.And if you've been feeling like you and your business are in a fight… this episode will likely make something click.If this resonates, early bird enrollment with a $222 discount for Energetic Business Collective is open through March 4th (payment plan available)This is a high-touch, three-month container capped at eight entrepreneurs.You can learn more about Energetic Business Collective here.You can check out the Alignment Dashboard here.

What if you're not stuck… you've just mastered your current level?In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason your income keeps landing at the same number and it's probably not what you think. It's not about working harder, chasing more leads, or adding another strategy. Most agents hit an income ceiling because their operating system hasn't evolved with their growth.I see this pattern with new agents, top producers, and even seven-figure businesses. The hustle that got you here won't take you to the next level. And if you feel like you're doing more but earning the same… this conversation is going to challenge how you look at your business structure, capacity, and leverage.If you've ever felt plateaued, restless, or like you're pushing against an invisible ceiling, this episode is for you.Things I Cover In This EpisodeWhy repeating income numbers is a structure problem not a motivation problemThe difference between hustle-driven growth vs system-driven capacityThe simple formula: Leads × Conversion × Capacity = IncomeWhere most agents unknowingly create their own income ceilingThe hidden role your operating system plays in scaling beyond six and seven figuresHow decision fatigue and fragile systems limit your growthThe three real ways to create income jumps without burning outWhy high-level agents focus on capacity first, not just volumeIf this episode made you realize you've outgrown your current structure, it might be time to upgrade your operating system. Inside my virtual and in-person workshops, we don't just talk strategy, we install the systems and structure that raise your income ceiling.Head to letsplaybigger.com to learn more about upcoming workshops and coaching programs.And if this episode hit home for you, share it with a friend and tag me on Instagram @itsraquelq.

If you're a small business owner wearing too many hats, working into the night, and starting to resent your clients: Welcome to burnout territory. This episode is for you. Here's what makes this conversation about burnout different than others you've heard: I'm not going to tell you to slow down or do less. I'm here to help you figure out which season of business you're in, and whether the over-work you're experiencing is intentional or quietly breaking you. I understand entrepreneur burnout. Not in a clinical way, but in a "One time I literally hopped to a business meeting on one foot after pulling an all-nighter because I refused to stop working" kind of way. My take is, for entrepreneurs, having work-life balance isn't about not working hard; it's about being intentional about when you push and when you don't.In this episode you'll learn:The 3 seasons entrepreneurs cycle through: push, sustain, and rideWhy solopreneur burnout doesn't always look like a physical collapse (it looks like dreading your inbox, resenting clients, and questioning if you're cut out for this)How to stop feeling guilty for working hardThe client communication boundary that dramatically lowered my running stress levelsWhy overwhelmed small business owners often have a capacity-math problemThe simple calendar change I made that lowered my cortisolBeen white-knuckling your way through a season that was only supposed to last a few weeks and is somehow now just... your life? Let's help you find your way back.Mentioned in this episode:Booked Out Offers (coming soon — exclusive to MMM students)Magic Marketing MachineConnect with Jenna: @JennasPaige on Instagram

Have you ever looked at a box in your house and felt like it was… talking to you?Not literally. But emotionally.Because in this second half of my conversation with decluttering expert Katy Wells, we go deeper than surface clutter. We talk about the hidden reasons we hold onto things. And friends, it is not about storage bins or label makers.It's about stories.Stories about who we used to be. Who we hoped we would become. Stories about guilt, failure, scarcity, and expectations we didn't even realize we were carrying.And once you see that, you cannot unsee it.In this episode, Katy unpacks the three hidden forces that keep people stuck in clutter cycles. These are not the things most organizing shows talk about. But they are the exact things that determine whether decluttering actually works long term.Here's what we cover:Why decluttering is emotional work disguised as a logistics problemThe hidden stories your belongings might be telling youHow guilt and fear silently control what you keepThe three pillars that shape your personal “stuff story”How childhood beliefs influence adult clutter habitsThe connection between procrastination and clutterWhy some habits are not problems but personality cluesThe simple 5-second trick that can break overwhelm instantlyYou'll also hear one client story that might stop you in your tracks. Because once you recognize your own version of that box in the garage, you may never look at clutter the same way again.And the best part?You do not have to fix everything today.

Hello Doctor Humans!Today we're having one of those honest, slightly spicy conversations that we know so many doctors are quietly having in their own heads. In this episode, we're unpacking why ward service feels so hard - even when the clinical work itself is going well. We talk openly about dread, burnout, loss of freedom, and the confusing mix of loving our work while feeling completely drained by it. This is a vulnerable, reflective episode about choice, autonomy, and what it really means to thrive (or not) in this season of our lives.In this episode, we explore:Why ward service can feel exhausting even when competence isn't the issueThe role of dread, restriction, and loss of freedom in doctor burnoutHow self-care alone doesn't always solve the problemThe difference between feeling “forced” and recognising our choicesRedefining failure, success, and thriving during intense work periodsHow naming the real problem gets us closer to meaningful solutionsWe'd love to hear from you. Does this resonate with your experience of ward service or on-call work? What helps you cope - or what still feels unresolved? Drop a comment, share an emoji if it's a me too moment, or tell us what's worked (or hasn't) for you!Inside Dare, Darling Coaching, Becc makes doctors UNSHAMEABLE so they can stop protecting their potential and start showing up fully in their life.◽️ Apply for a free consult: https://2ly.link/27dxL

If you want people to trust you with their money, stop hiding behind "cartoon" profile pictures.In a recent podcast, Tavershima warned crypto fans and entrepreneurs that using NFTs, abstract art, or digital avatars as their online identity is hurting their business. While these images might be cool within the crypto community, they look suspicious or "unprofessional" to the average person.Why It's a ProblemThe "Trust Gap": Most investors won't send money to a stranger with a bizarre Greek statue or a cartoon monkey for a face.Niche vs. Mainstream: What looks "trendy" in a small subculture looks like a "red flag" to the general public.The PR Nightmare: It makes your business look like a hobby rather than a serious enterprise.How to Build Real CredibilityTo succeed in the Nigerian market, Tavershima recommends a "Back to Basics" approach for your profile:Use a clear, high-quality headshot of your actual face.Use your real name instead of a cryptic handle.Write a simple, clear bio that explains exactly what you do.Bottom Line: Your personal branding shouldn't be about what you like; it should be about what makes your audience feel safe doing business with you.
"Isolate the Real It: The Diagnostic Approach to Closing More Sales"You didn't lose that sale because of price, product, or timing. You lost it because you never isolated the Real It—the actual thing standing in the way. Most salespeople try to solve everything at once, overwhelming the homeowner and killing the sale before it ever had a chance.In this episode, Sam Wakefield breaks down the diagnostic approach to sales that separates top performers from everyone else. You'll learn how to use qualification questions—not to qualify the homeowner, but to isolate the components of their decision. When you stop guessing and start diagnosing, you close more sales with less resistance.If you've ever walked away from an appointment confused about what went wrong, this episode will show you exactly how to find the Real It and guide your homeowner to clarity. This is the mental shift that changes everything.In This Episode:Why most salespeople lose sales by trying to solve the wrong problemThe combination lock metaphor: how one misaligned piece blocks the entire saleHow to use qualification questions to separate product, payment, timeline, and scopeReal-world language examples of isolating the Real It in appointmentsWhy confidence looks like clarity, not information overloadThe difference between diagnosing and convincingHow to get commitment before you negotiateWhy you can't negotiate with confusion—only clarityResources & Mentions:Win-Win Selling by Doug C.

Why do experts struggle to scale even when they're highly capable and customers love them?In this episode of The Scalable Expert Podcast, Tara shares the story of a client who could do everything. She solved problems fast. She delivered great results. Her customers were thrilled.And she was exhausted.If you've ever felt like your value comes from how much you can do for your customers, this episode will hit home. Many experts struggle to scale not because they lack skill - but because they're solving too many problems at once.Instead of leading customers down one clear path, they become the one-stop shop.And that's where scaling breaks.In this episode, Tara breaks down:Why being a “jack-of-all-trades” keeps experts stuckThe hidden cost of offering too many servicesWhy hiring doesn't fix the problemThe shift from “How can I help today?” to “Here's the path to your result”How focusing on one consistent problem creates leverageIf experts struggle to scale, it's usually because their business is built around doing everything -not leading one clear solution.This episode continues the conversation from last week and shows you what it actually takes to move from doer to scalable expert.⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Introduction and today's focus00:45 – Meet “Chris”: the expert who can do everything02:03 – Why hiring didn't solve the scaling problem03:00 – When clients value the wrong things04:36 – The crossroads: do everything or lead differently05:00 – The real goal of becoming a scalable expert06:00 – From problem-solver to path-leader07:23 – Identifying the consistent path you already use08:00 – Changing the language changes the relationship09:00 – The cost of starting over with every client10:25 – The danger of shiny projects11:00 – Seeing the path only you can see 11:40 – Take the Scalable Expert Quiz
Women don't lack ambition.They don't lack skills.And they don't lack drive.So why do so many capable women — especially women from minority backgrounds — stall before reaching positions of power?In this episode of Girl, Take the Lead!, I'm joined by Alexandra Gantier, a French public relations, public affairs, and leadership advisor with more than 18 years of international experience across France and the United States. Alexandra is the co-founder of The Poderosas, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding leadership access for women from minority backgrounds through mentorship and sponsorship.Alexandra brings a deeply global perspective to leadership — shaped by her upbringing in France, her formative years in South America, and her professional journey in the U.S. She is currently completing a PhD at the Toulouse School of Management, where her research explores female leadership, representation in decision-making spaces, and how structural barriers shape access to power.Together, we unpack a powerful truth:Women don't need fixing — they need access.This conversation goes beyond confidence and skill-building to name the systemic and relational dynamics that determine who advances, who is sponsored, and who is invited into rooms where decisions are made.We also explore Alexandra's retreat work through Empowering Women Global Leaders, which creates space for women to pause, reset, and reconnect with their values — including retreats in Paris and the south of France.Why women aren't advancing — and why it's not a confidence problemThe difference between mentorship and sponsorship (and why both matter)Structural barriers that shape access to leadership and powerNavigating politics, relationships, and visibility at workGenerational shifts in how women approach work, ambition, and voiceWhy you can do everything — just not all at the same timeThe courage to stop shrinking and build your own room“Keep your values as your inner compass.Never stay in a space where you feel you need to shrink yourself — you can build your own room.”She also chose the Trust Your Gut card — a reminder that leadership often begins by listening to what you already know.
In this episode of the Coach Cody Podcast, we sit down (again!) with Dr. James Greenblatt, MD — a dual board-certified psychiatrist and internationally recognized pioneer in functional and integrative psychiatry, known for his work on low-dose nutritional lithium and root-cause mental health care. We talk about why conventional psychiatry often becomes “symptom → prescription” medicine, and how functional psychiatry takes a test-then-treat approach by looking at things like nutrient deficiencies, hormones, gut health, genetics (including MTHFR), and metabolic factors that can drive depression and anxiety. Topics we cover:Functional vs integrative vs conventional psychiatry (and why “lifestyle changes” alone may not be enough)Why labs are so often skipped in mental health care — and why that's a problemThe big ones Dr. Greenblatt sees constantly: vitamin D and “normal but not optimal” B12Celiac disease and malabsorption as a commonly missed root causeLow-dose lithium orotate: what it is, how it differs from prescription lithium, and why he recommends simple standalone dosingAntidepressants: why he's not anti-medication, but believes patients deserve honest conversations about side effects and withdrawalKetamine: when it can help, when clinics get out of control, and why you should address root causes firstWhat gives him the most hope right now: the research is finally catching up
In this episode of Create the Flow, I break down one of the most important distinctions every business owner needs to understand: traffic versus conversion — and why confusing the two is one of the fastest ways to stall your growth.If you've ever had strong engagement, decent views, or growing visibility but little to no sales, this episode will help you diagnose exactly what's missing and how to fix it.I explain why traffic is about attention, while conversion is about trust, and how your strategy needs to shift depending on the season of your business.Topics Covered in This EpisodeThe difference between traffic (visibility) and conversion (sales)Why more followers do not guarantee more revenueHow to identify whether you're in a growth season or conversion seasonThe danger of chasing vanity metrics instead of real business signalsWhy virality without clarity leads to stalled salesThe role of brand positioning in driving conversionsHow unclear messaging kills trust (even with great content)What metrics actually matter when you want salesWhy saves, replies, DMs, and opt-ins outperform views and likesHow to simplify your messaging around one core problemThe importance of a clear call to action and repeated positioningWhy trust and relevance outperform aesthetics in 2026How micro audiences can outperform large followings when engagement is highYou don't need more traffic to make more money — you need clearer positioning, stronger trust, and a strategy aligned with the season of your business. Conversion happens when people understand who you help, how you help them, and what to do next.Resources & Links Mentioned:
I'm just going to say it…Your body is NOT Amazon Prime. You don't hit “order” on macros and wake up with your dream body 2 days later! Honestly, this expectation is why SO many people keep quitting.I see and hear it constantly from ladies: they track their macros for a couple of days (maybe a week), don't see the scale move, and immediately decide “nope - it's not working”. But…let's be real. Did you GAIN 20 pounds in two days? No. So, why would you expect to lose it that fast?!The truth you need to hear? Your expectations are the problem - not your effort, your plan, or your body. not your body. What actually needs to change is how you measure progress, and how quickly you expect results! I'm not mad at you for feeling frustrated - I'm mad at an industry that sells instant transformations, detoxes, shortcuts, and hype without education. Your body needs time, consistency, muscle, nourishment, and trust. Stop quitting on yourself, and instead, start COMMITTING to yourself!Episode recap:Why your body is NOT Amazon Prime + why expecting instant results keeps you stuck in the quit-restart cycleHow unrealistic expectations are often the actual problemThe real reasons the scale doesn't “reward” you right awayHow to reframe your timeline for progressWhat frustration after “2 days of tracking” is really fueled byThe simple 12-week contractWhy my real frustration is with the industry (not you)Links/Resources:Ep. 55 | The #1 Skil You Need to Master to Get Into Amazing ShapeEp. 76 | The Hard Truth: Why You Need to Stop Giving Up On YourselfGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

I'm recording this one off the cuff, because it matters.I cry a lot. I cry every day. Sometimes I cry because I'm sad. Sometimes I cry because I'm angry, happy, proud — or because I just need to cry. I've always been this way, and if you're listening to this, you probably are too.In this episode, I talk about why crying isn't something to fix — and why nothing has gone wrong when tears show up. We've been taught to feel shame or guilt when we cry, especially in front of other people, but that doesn't mean crying is wrong. More often than not, it just means other people don't have the tools to be with it.This is a conversation about sensitivity, emotion, and why big girls do cry — not because we're weak, but because we feel deeply, we care, and we're human.In This Episode, I Cover:Why I cry every day — and why that's not a problemThe shame and guilt many women feel when they cry in front of othersWhy people try to fix crying instead of allowing itHow we're taught that crying is inappropriate or “too much”Why crying isn't manipulativeCrying as release, connection, and a non-aggressive expression of emotionA thought to try on: Big girls do cry — and I'm okay with myself when I doA question to sit with:What happens when I let myself cry without making it mean something has gone wrong?You don't need to answer it — just notice the urge to stop it, explain it, apologize for it, or judge yourself for it.That noticing is the work.If this episode brought up relief, resistance, or confusion, you're not alone — and you don't have to carry it by yourself.✨ Come say hi on Instagram: @theamandahessI'd love to hear what this stirred for you — the real, unpolished version.If this episode resonated and you want support applying this work to your real life, I'd love to talk with you.I currently have space in my 1:1 coaching practice.Book a discovery call here:
Augustine argued that many of our biggest problems come not from loving bad things, but from loving good things in the wrong order. In this episode, Davies Owens sits down with counselor and Live Sturdy president Keith McCurdy to talk about the “ordering of loves” and why it impacts everything from marriage health to family culture to kids who flourish.Keith walks through a common modern pattern: world, kids, family, marriage, God, and why that order quietly drains families. Then he offers a clear, biblical alternative and a few simple practices that can create real change without turning your life upside down.
Bulimia can feel confusing, shame-filled, and deeply misunderstood — especially when the binge–purge cycle starts to feel automatic, secretive, or bigger than willpower.In this episode of Fly To Freedom, I'm joined by Dr Rachel Evans (psychologist, hypnotherapist, and host of the Just Eat Normally podcast). Rachel brings both lived experience and specialist knowledge of bulimia, and she helps me unpack what bulimia actually is, why the behaviours happen, and how recovery can become possible — even when things have felt stuck for a long time.We talk about the psychology and biology behind bingeing and purging, the role of fear and compulsion, and the myths that keep people trapped — including myths around calories, laxatives, and exercise. I also share openly that my lived experience is with anorexia, not bulimia, and I invite Rachel to guide the conversation with accuracy and compassion.How Rachel describes bulimia (and why diagnosis labels can feel vague or limiting)What makes a binge feel like a binge (including secrecy, speed, dissociation, and “I can't stop” urgency)The different types of compensatory behaviours, including vomiting, laxatives, fasting, and compulsive exerciseWhy it's often the intention and fear underneath a behaviour that shows whether it's becoming a problemThe myths people get taught about laxatives and purging, and why they're never the “solution” the eating disorder promisesHow exercise can become a form of purging — even when it looks “healthy” from the outsideWhy bingeing and purging can create a “high” or sense of relief (and how that reinforces the cycle)Why understanding what the behaviour is doing for you matters more than shameWhy eating disorders often morph and change over time, especially around big life eventsWhy punishment never creates healing — and why compassion and understanding actually change thingsA practical next step: gently noticing patterns (feelings, triggers, restriction, urges) without judgementRecovery is possible. You can live without the constant shadow of food thoughts, urges, shame, and compensation. You deserve support that helps you understand what's driving the cycle — and what to do instead.Rachel is a psychologist and hypnotherapist, and the host of the Just Eat Normally podcast. She has lived experience of bulimia recovery and supports people who want to step out of the binge–purge cycle for good.Website: eatingdisordertherapist.co.ukInstagram: rachel.evans.phdPodcast: Just Eat NormallyI also share where you can find ongoing support inside The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle: https://www.edrecoverycircle.com/You can find more recovery tips and 1:1 coaching at Juliatrehane.com And you can always find me over on Instagram @juliatrehane

I've been noticing this pattern with the therapists I work with. Incredibly capable people with clear ideas for what they want to build - programs, offerings, shifts in their practice. They can describe it in detail. But when I ask what's stopping them, the answer is always some version of "I'm stuck."In this episode, I'm not giving you productivity tips or telling you to just start. I'm naming the quiet problem that nobody talks about: the kind of stuck that doesn't look like stuck at all. Because this type of stuck comes with a cost that accumulates slowly, and most of us don't see it until we're years in.If you've been sitting with an idea for months (or years), if you keep researching instead of building, if you're waiting for more certainty before you commit - this episode is for you.HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:1️⃣ Staying Stuck Is Not Neutral - It Has a Real Cost – We believe taking action equals risk and staying stuck equals safety. But staying stuck erodes self-trust, creates ongoing frustration, causes decision fatigue, and leaves you feeling behind without knowing why. You're still on a trajectory - you're just not choosing it consciously.2️⃣ Research Mode Is False Movement – When your version of stuck looks like productivity (taking courses, reading case studies, studying how others did it), it's especially dangerous. It feels like you're making progress. You're not. At a certain point, researching stops being preparation and starts being avoidance. You already have enough information to start.3️⃣ You're Already Choosing Your Hard – Moving forward is hard. Staying stuck is also hard. Nothing worth doing is usually easy. The question isn't how to make it easier - it's which version of hard you want to choose. The uncertain pain of starting, or the familiar pain of staying where you are?YOU'LL ALSO HEAR:The specific Tuesday afternoon I spent three hours researching my program instead of building it (and the resignation that followed)Why high-integrity professionals get stuck in this particular patternThe difference between familiar pain and uncertain pain (and why we keep choosing familiar)How to identify which type of stuck you're experiencing (they're not all the same problem)Why compassion doesn't mean pretending there's no problemThe real cost of decision fatigue when you circle the same choice for monthsHow "not choosing" is still a choice with consequencesWhy clarity rarely arrives before commitmentRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Therapists Rising:The Incubator: therapistsrising.com/incubatorInstagram: @dr.hayleykellySUBSCRIBE & REVIEW:If this episode helped you see the pattern you've been stuck in - or gave you permission to name what's really happening - please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!Your reviews help more therapists find these conversations and build the businesses they actually want without staying stuck in research mode for months.Thanks for being here.

Ever wonder how some women seem to juggle ambition, leadership, and life without burning themselves out? In this live episode from the State of Women Conference, Stephanie is joined by Sophia Fifner and Danielle McKinley for a refreshingly honest, deeply practical conversation about working smarter, not harder, across career, motherhood, and personal life. Together, they break down the real systems that help high-achieving women protect their energy, set boundaries without guilt, and stop overcommitting out of habit or expectation. From outsourcing and weekly “state of the union” check-ins at home, to redefining what productivity actually looks like in different seasons, this conversation is packed with tools you can implement immediately. Sophia and Danielle also dive into the emotional side of ambition: people-pleasing, burnout, guilt, money stories, and the inner narratives that quietly drive how we work and live. You'll hear why listening to your body matters just as much as any calendar system, how to say no without overexplaining, and why rest isn't a reward, it's a requirement. If you've ever felt stretched thin trying to do it all, this episode is your permission slip to simplify, recalibrate, and build a life that actually feels good on your terms. Today we cover:How to work smarter without sacrificing ambition or impactSimple systems that save time, energy, and decision fatigueWhy “no” is a complete sentence (and how to practice it)Reframing guilt as a signal not a problemThe power of boundaries in work, family, and relationshipsWhy rest and slowing down make you a better leaderHow money stories shape the way we work, lead, and choose Connect with Danielle:https://daniellemckinley.com/ Connect with Sophia:https://www.sophiafifner.org/Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.comStephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_The Other 85: https://theother85.net/ Whitney IG: @whitneyabraham

Why is it so hard to explain what you do, even when you're really good at it? In this episode, messaging strategist Damian Vallelonga breaks down why solopreneurs struggle with clarity, confidence, and consistency in their messaging, and what to do about it.We talk about why referrals aren't a strategy, how vague language quietly kills opportunities, and the exact framework Damian uses to help solopreneurs create elevator pitches, website headlines, and LinkedIn bios that actually make sense to other humans. If you've ever said, “I know what I do, I just don't know how to explain it,” this episode is for you.Episode FAQsWhy do solopreneurs struggle to clearly explain what they do?Solopreneurs struggle to explain what they do because they know too much. Years of experience, details, and expertise live in their heads, making it hard to simplify their message for someone hearing it for the first time. Clear messaging requires stepping outside your own perspective and focusing on what your audience needs to understand, not everything you know.What is the simplest framework for creating an effective elevator pitch?An effective elevator pitch has three parts:The common problem your ideal client is struggling withWhat you do to help solve that problemThe outcome or transformation they experience as a resultThis structure keeps your message focused, relatable, and easy to remember, without turning it into a list of credentials or services.How often should solopreneurs update their messaging?Solopreneurs should revisit their messaging any time their business changes in a meaningful way. This includes adding or removing services, narrowing a niche, shifting strategy, or changing who they serve. Messaging should always follow business strategy, because outdated or unclear messaging creates confusion, and confusion is one of the biggest barriers to growth.
Most gyms aren't broken. They're working exactly as intended.In this episode, I break down the uncomfortable truth about big-box gyms and why they fail most people — not because you're lazy or undisciplined, but because the entire model is built to rely on your willpower, not a system.Here's what we cover:Why $10/month gyms bank on you not showing upHow “I'll just be more disciplined” is a lie that keeps people stuckWhy inconsistency isn't a motivation problem — it's a structure problemThe role self-worth plays in why people won't invest in their healthWhy spending more on yourself actually leads to better results, not guiltHow accountability, coaching, and environment change everythingIf you've ever:Joined a gym with good intentions and slowly disappearedTold yourself “this time will be different”Felt frustrated that you know what to do but can't stay consistentThis episode is for you.Because transformation doesn't happen through hope or willpower — it happens through standards, structure, and support.
When emotions hurt, most of us go straight into fix-it mode. We try to shut it down, numb it out, control our kids, or control the moment. But in this episode, Andee shares why the goal isn't to eliminate “negative” emotions. The goal is to move through them so they can actually complete and release.You'll hear a real-life holiday-season story (cruise chaos, kids growing up, and all the tenderness that comes with it), plus practical tools for what to do when your nervous system is activated and you feel the urge to rush, react, or lecture.Because here's the truth: when emotions become emergencies, you parent like an emergency responder. And connection disappears.In this episode, you'll learn:Why emotions are meant to hurt sometimes, and why that's not a problemThe difference between emotions, feelings, and sensations (in a way that actually makes sense)How “pain about the pain” is what multiplies sufferingThe two most common ways we avoid emotions (and how it shows up in parenting)Why “Let it hurt” is often the most powerful first stepHow to stop outsourcing your regulation to your kidsWhat emotional maturity really is, and how it grows over timeHow to stay connected when your nervous system is in fight-or-flightWhy your child benefits more from your emotional ownership than anything you could sayReal-life examples included:The “clean your room” moment where the real trigger wasn't the mess, it was the fear of not being heardA travel story from Berlin where a nervous system takeover turned into an opportunity for repair, regulation, and connectionKey takeaways to remember:Emotions that are allowed get processed. Emotions that are resisted get complicated.Your child's hard feelings aren't proof something is wrong. They're proof they're human.The goal isn't happiness. The goal is being able to stay present for the full 50/50 of life.Unfelt emotions fester. Felt emotions move through.Emotional strength isn't never getting activated. It's knowing what to do when you are.A question to sit with this week:Where are you treating emotions like emergencies in your home? And what might change if you practiced letting them move through instead of trying to make them stop?If this episode helped you, share it with a friend who's trying to stay calm, connected, and choose humanness this holiday season.Correction is out.

Have you ever found yourself staring at your to-do list, desperately wanting to work, but somehow—-NOT working? You're scrolling through social media, reorganizing your desk, making another coffee—-doing anything but the thing you actually need to do. You are not lazy or broken, and according to today's guest, your problem isn't willpower; it's neuroscience. Are you ready to achieve more with brain-based strategies? Join us for a conversation that will change how you think about productivity. Robin J. Emdon, known as “the procrastination slayer,” shares his personal journey from chronic procrastination to accountability coach. After realizing that he took 10 years to complete a 6-year degree due to procrastination, Robin researched the neuroscience behind productivity and wrote Get Resultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done. He explains procrastination through brain science, describing the conflict between threat modality and reward modality. He introduces his “inner productivity team,” the Conductor, the Fun-Sized Warrior, and the Scholar. His work emphasizes that accountability is the critical missing link for sustained productivity, citing research that shows a 33% improvement in goal achievement with the proper accountability structure. Robin's signature momentum formula, “Do it today–Profit tomorrow–Repeat,” helps clients worldwide turn daily action into meaningful progress and attainable success. He does this from his quiet corner on England's southwest coast.

CONGRATULATIONS DR. OMAR YAGHI ON WINNING THE 2025 NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY FOR COF 999!What is COF 999?UC Berkeley chemistry professor Dr. Omar Yaghi recently led a study which has the potential to be revolutionary in reducing the quantity of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. “Covalent organic framework number 999,” or COF 999, is a yellow, powder-like material that has billions of tiny holes. Inside of these holes, researchers in Dr. Yaghi's lab have installed molecular units that can seek out carbon dioxide, enabling the substance to suck in and capture the carbon dioxide. COF 999 has a huge capacity for absorbing emissions; half a pound of the powder can absorb as much carbon dioxide as a tree captures in a year.The carbon dioxide problemThe quantity of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached an all-time high, with a global average in 2023 of 419.3 parts per million. This immense amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere comes from a number of human sources, the most common of which is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas for energy. Carbon dioxide is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, and contributes significantly to global warming and other environmental issues, including ocean acidification.Applying COF 999 In an interview with Forbes, Dr. Yaghi described the way he sees COF 999 being implemented as a solution. The powder can be made into pellets or a coating, and then integrated into facilities where flue gas –the gas that is released from industrial processes –is released. “This flue gas would pass through the material and because it just plucks out CO2, it cleans CO2 from that flue before it reaches the atmosphere.” According to the San Francisco Standard, Dr. Yaghi says that the powder “requires no energy, shows no signs of degradation even after 100 uses, and is made from inexpensive, commercially available materials.” Another benefit is that the material only needs to be heated to 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, rather than to 120 like many other traditional materials necessary for carbon capture.In order to see significant change in the atmosphere's carbon dioxide concentration, we will need to couple preventing carbon dioxide emissions with direct air capture, which COF 999 can also do. According to Zihui Zhou, a UC Berkeley graduate student who worked in Dr. Yaghi's lab says, “Currently, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is more than 420 ppm, but that will increase to maybe 500 or 550 before we fully develop and employ flue gas capture. So if we want to decrease the concentration and go back to maybe 400 or 300 ppm, we have to use direct air capture.” It will take time, however, for scientists to be able to use COF 999 effectively. This is because the powder has not been tested in real-life scenarios, and therefore the costs and risks from the powder are largely unknown; for example, the powder might restrict air flow through filters when applied, reducing the practicality of the powder. About our guestDr. Omar Yaghi is a professor of chemistry at the University of California Berkeley, and the Founding Director of the Berkeley Global Science Institute, whose mission is to build centers of research in developing countries and provide opportunities for young scholars to discover and learn. He is an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences as well as the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.

Most companies struggle with AI. And it's usually not because the technology doesn't work, but because the right adoption approach isn't followed. As Conor Grennan, Chief AI Architect at New York University, puts it, treating AI like a digital transformation initiative is a recipe for failure. What actually works is when leaders move beyond rolling out AI tools and drive the behavioral shift that sets clear expectations and enables real change.When leadership teams get the people part right, they can avoid the usual mistakes, align teams on what matters and turn AI into real business results.Learn about AI agents and application architecture → https://ibm.biz/BdbR2B 0:00 Intro04:52 AI adoption is a behavioral challenge07:55 AI isn't digital transformation 11:30 The risk of using AI agents as mere replacements16:31 Finding the AI champion who drives change18:18 The shift from commands to conversations22:39 The foundation for scaling AI workflows32:22 Why AI agents aren't just machines33:15 Trust, hallucinations and the data problemThe opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of IBM or any other organization or entity.

In this solo episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm breaking down the three biggest problems I hear from coaches, creatives, and service-based experts that keep them from growing (and making money) in their business:
If you've ever felt like your anxiety is “too much” or your grief is “too messy,” you belong here.Today, meet a daughter of a covertly narcissistic mother who didn't begin to connect the dots until after her mother's death. What follows is an honest, layered conversation about complex grief, panic attacks that don't seem to make sense, and the painful tug-of-war between loyalty and truth.Together, we explore:Why panic in adulthood is often a trauma memory, not a present problemThe link between narcissistic mothers and hypervigilant nervous systemsHow “should” becomes a survival strategy and why it now feels like self-betrayalWhat it means to grieve a mother who was never emotionally safeHow memory reconsolidation happens even after a parent's deathWhy waking up to your story years later doesn't mean the trauma wasn't realIf you were the daughter who raised yourself, who became the emotional caretaker in childhood, or who still feels guilty for feeling relief after loss, this conversation will help you feel less alone, less crazy, and more understood.Grief isn't linear. Panic isn't random. And your healing gets to make sense to you, even if no one else understands it yet.
