Even though it's still August, the signs of autumn are starting to show. False autumn is a survival-driven stress response where trees shed leaves and change colour prematurely due to extreme heat and drought, and you may find yourself doing the autumn jobs a little early this year.  We dive headlong into seed collecting with RHS horticulturist Lucie Rudnicka, plus find out how best to prune your trained apple and pear trees with RHS Garden Wisley's fruit tree expert Jim Arbury. And finally, we relish in the joy of wildflowers with our very own Gareth Richards, as today sees the publication of RHS Wildflowers: A Pocket Guide. Plus we answer questions from the listener inbox on late sowings of salads, raspberry pruning and hornets.

Cannes-winning actor/filmmaker Riley Keough (THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE) is no stranger to the worlds of wealth or fashion, and in the bloody, bawdy new satire ROSEBUSH PRUNING, she inhabits a larger-than-life character who is way too into both. Keough tells Rico what drew her to director Karim Aïnouz's weird-wave black comedy, and about finding love on the infamously intense set of MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. ROSEBUSH PRUNING is streaming exclusively on MUBI from August 21 almost globally. To stream some of the films we've covered on the podcast, check out the collection Featured on the MUBI Podcast.

A multisite model that's too complex can't be multiplied ... and a model that is only captured in your head can't be handed off. To go multisite, you need something clear enough to repeat and captured well enough to share. It's one thing to know who you are, but it's another to simplify and document it so well that someone else can actually run the same ministries and systems without the need for your constant input. In this episode, Sean and Jesse talk about what you do as a multisite church and how you do it—your Ministry Model and your Defined Systems and Strategies. Plus, Sean checks in with Amy Anderson to hear about her recovery.

In this episode, I'm sharing a message inspired by Napoleon Hill and exploring what can happen when God begins preparing you for a new chapter. We talk about struggle, pruning, closed doors, waiting, spiritual stirring, and why the things that feel like loss or uncertainty may also be creating space for growth, purpose, and something greater.I also share why faith requires action, how to trust divine timing when the path ahead feels unclear, and what it means to keep moving when you do not have all the answers yet. If you've been feeling stretched, restless, redirected, or called toward something more, this conversation is an invitation to trust the preparation, listen to the stirring within you, and take the next step with courage.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Something big may be coming(2:05) Ask your higher self for guidance(2:57) Napoleon Hill's influence and wisdom(4:10) Signs God is preparing you(9:46) How hardship builds your strength(13:10) Pruning your life for greater growth(16:41) Trusting God's perfect timing(19:50) The stirring that calls you forward(22:43) Why faith requires action(24:18) Final blessing and encouragement

With the summer holiday season well underway the village of South Stoke, Oxfordshire is opening some of its Garden to the public on Bank Holiday Monday the 31st August, Admission is £6 for Adults. The Bell tower of the church will be open and there will be plant sales, tea and cakes in the village hall, Alpacas and funds raised will go to a community project.Hughenden, Benjamin Disrali's country manor, near High Wycombe is a National Trust Property that neither Peter or Bill have visited. Nestled in a valley in the Chilterns, there are a variety of landscapes to explore. The building also played a highly secret part in World War 2 which has only come to light in recent years.With the drought Lawns have stopped growing but don't worry hopefully they will come back once we start getting some rain. Once moisture levels have returned to normal if you do have bare patches you can reseed them. It is also a good time of year to trim back lavender if it has finished flowering, but only trim back this years growth. Roses can also be trimmed back. Dead head your bedding plants and trim back Jasmine. Some hedges can be trimmed back if there are no birds nesting in it. Photinias and Laurel are good examples of hedges that might be suitable to trim. Regular annual or biannual trimming is better than leaving it to grow and then cutting it back hard after a couple of years as you will get a fuller and denser hedge. Depending on the type of hedge and how much time you have you could use a hedge cutter or secateurs, but always clean them and sharpen if needed after use so they are sterile and ready to use again when you need them.

It's easy to cut off a tree branch without thinking twice about it. But what if something was cut out of your life? Today on Fastened Like Nails, Dr. Mark Hamby is joined by Dr. Lew Sterrett. Together they unpack the meaning and importance of God's pruning in our own lives. We are never promised it will be painless, but when we are in the hands of the Master Gardener, we know there's a greater reward than anything we may lose. Join us today and discover how the price of pruning can lead to richer life in Jesus Christ.

A recap of UGA Turfgrass Research Field Day and the Pruning Guru to help with pruning and deadheading

In this passage Jesus grabs our attention with three creative illustrations of the life of a Christ follower that help us understand how we can best extend God's Grace to others. (Luke 6:37-49)

At the 26th New Horizons International Film Festival, Radio LUZ spoke with award-winning filmmaker Karim Aïnouz about his latest film, Rosebush Pruning. We discuss its striking visual language, unsettling atmosphere, collaboration with actors (including Callum Turner and Elle Fanning), and why Aïnouz embraces ambiguity in cinema. Already provoking strong reactions and widely differing interpretations, Rosebush Pruning invites audiences into a world not so far from our reality. Interview by Barbara Winkel.

On this episode, Eric sits down with Karim Aïnouz, director of the upcoming ROSEBUSH PRUNING.

Today's episode of Gospel Spice, centered on the launch of "Awaken Delight," is a timely exploration of the Christian experience of suffering. Stephanie combines personal vulnerability—sharing excerpts from her new book about living with chronic pain and deep questions—with biblical wisdom on how hardship fits into our walk with God.In suffering, God does not abandon; he lovingly prunes and allows thorns for our growth. The path to deeper faith, humility, and delight in God runs directly through honest wrestling with pain—and leads to true spiritual fruitfulness.Christians often wonder: If I am serving God, why do I suffer? Is suffering a sign of God's displeasure or my failure? Stephanie shares that Christians who suffer yet trust God often appear as if they're not suffering—because they refuse let suffering have the final word.Our FREE gift to you today! An exclusive, in-depth 10-day FREE recovery plan to rekindle your delight in God when you are going through seasons of deep pruning from God's hand: go to https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelightthepodcast and find the form for Episode 454. Give us your email, and you will receive the full plan in your inbox immediately!Just as fig trees need hard soil to bear fruit, Christians grow most deeply in spiritually tough conditions. Comfort produces "leaves without fruit," but hardship develops true character and delight in God.In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul's incredible spiritual experiences led God to allow him a "thorn"—not as punishment, but to keep him humble and dependent on God. Paul's journey shows that deep suffering is not proof of failure or sin, but God's purposeful investment in our transformation.In John 15, Jesus says that healthy, fruitful branches are the ones pruned by the Gardener (God), so they'll bear even more fruit. Pruning feels like loss or reduction but is God re-focusing our lives on what truly matters.Pruning is when God removes something from our lives. It is the elimination of even good things for us to be more fruitful and focused. By contrast, thorns are when God allows painful weaknesses or situations to remain. These serve a specific, humbling, and formative purpose. Both types invite deeper dependence on God.We misunderstand suffering when we see it as divine punishment. Biblical teaching says it's part of God's commitment to us—not against us, but for us. The goal is not mere improvement, but transformation—making us more like Christ."Faith" is not something we muster by willpower, but a posture rooted in humility: recognizing our need for God and opening ourselves to His work. Humility is both the soil in which faith grows and the fruit that results from faith.Christ was not merely "pruned"—he was "cut off" entirely for our sake, taking on the ultimate suffering so we would never face it alone. Now, even our suffering is transformed by his presence and purpose.Practical ApplicationWhen hardship comes, instead of merely asking "Why me?" or "How can I escape this?", ask "What is God showing me?" and "How can I delight in Him through this?"Choose to see suffering not as a sign of God's absence, but as the attentive hand of the Gardener who loves and invests in us.Remain in Christ—even weak connection is connection, and transformation is always worth the pain.Reflective action: Next time you face loss or pain, remember the lessons of pruning and thorns. Ask God to help you trust His restorative, purposeful hand, and seek delight in Him above all.We are in the middle of our “Awaken Delight” series, based on Stephanie's new book. Each week, we explore a different facet of what makes delight in God difficult and challenging. How can we live the reality of Psalm 37:4 when life is hard? "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." This is God's promise to you in Psalm 37:4. But many believers quietly assume it's just a poetic suggestion, or it doesn't really work here on earth.What you will (re)discover as you journey with God through Awaken Delight:Delight in God is identity-shaping, not emotion-driven. Delight in God is not fleeting emotion but resilient identity.Delight in God is altogether trust, satisfaction in God, relational intimacy with Him.Delight in God is often expressed and grown through resilient joy under suffering.Delight in God is the missing engine behind resilience. It's the antidote to burnout. It's even the foundation for sustainable ministry.God's delight in you is secure, not performance-dependent. God's delight in you frees you from striving! That's the beginning of delight.Jesus is the center of every endeavor to delight in God.You can build a delight-centered spiritual life.Awaken Delight invites you to follow Scriptural truths and spiritual practices that cultivate daily joy in God.DISCOVER THE BOOK BEHIND THE PODCAST | "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible here on earth.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle invites you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight — not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is.Delight in God isn't a mood to manufacture; it's a relationship to receive.Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you'll learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable.Delighting in God isn't sentimental optimism. It's deeply rooted in Christ, Jesus.It's the quiet revolution that reshapes how we endure pain, love others, and understand our own heart.Awaken Delight is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued and are ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JKind words from Jennifer Rothschild, Bible teacher, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, Founder, Fresh Grounded Faith: “Stephanie helps us awaken to and experience true delight. It is a rich mix of God's delight in you and your delight in him. This is the life you were made for, the life your soul deeply longs for. So, the table is set. Pull up a chair and let your heart sit alongside Stephanie. As your delight in God wakes up and becomes fully realized, you'll find a satisfaction in Christ that makes you want more and more.”Kind words from Amanda Jenkins, Lead creator of THE CHOSEN's literary content: "I have yet to meet another person quite as eager to intimately know Jesus as Stephanie is. Her enthusiasm for the beauty found inside a thriving relationship with her Savior is downright contagious. Indeed, Stephanie's joy and faith and commitment to growth—along with her love for really good food!—will implant themselves in the hearts of readers. Lucky readers."Kind words from Os Guinness, Theologian, Social critic, Author, The Call:  "Stephanie addresses one of the greatest needs of Christians today. Knowing God is not knowing about God, but knowing Him genuinely and with desire and delight. She does so practically and helpfully, and in a style that sparkles with a verve and joy that is distinctively French."Kind words from Pippa Gumbel, Pioneer, The Alpha Course; Author, The Bible in one year with husband Nicky: "Stephanie's love of God is inspiring and infectious. Her book is an invitation to share in that delight and to come to know God in new and wonderful ways."More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JSupport us on Gospel Spice, PayPal and Venmo!

In this episode we take a deceptively simple gardening concept — pruning — and follow it all the way down into the roots of how we live: our minds, our relationships, our closets, our half-finished projects, and our 78-page "TO DO" lists.We talk about why cutting something still alive is an act of faith, not failure. And we explore the courage it takes to prune not just the dead branches, but the living ones that are just no longer doing the job they could.MENTIONED:"Clean Your Room". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp9599kwnhM✨☕This episode is sponsored by www.BecomeLucid.com Lucid is a functional mushroom and nootropic brand designed to fuel mental clarity, focus, and long-term brain health.

What do you do when something in your business is still making money, still getting attention, and still looks like a success from the outside… but deep down, you know it's no longer the right fit for where you're headed?In this solo episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of one of the hardest business decisions I've made recently: retiring the STR Virtual Summit for Women.On paper, it was working. But the more I looked at what my audience actually needed, the more I realized the summit wasn't the best vehicle to help women in this industry create real momentum. It was delivering a ton of information—but not enough implementation. And if you've ever bought a course, joined a summit, or downloaded the freebie only to never fully use it… you know exactly what I mean.In this episode, I'm sharing:why I chose to walk away from something that looked successful from the outsidehow I knew it was time to stop offering more information and start creating more implementationthe three questions I've been using to evaluate whether something in my business still deserves a placewhat it looks like to strategically prune offers, projects, or commitments that are pulling focus from your bigger goalshow I'm rebuilding the STR Sisterhood around a simpler, more actionable model with monthly challenges, focused trainings, and live supportI'm also sharing the thought process behind the new pricing model and why I intentionally wanted the most hands-on, implementation-focused option to be the easiest one to say yes to.If you've been holding onto a property, a service, a marketing strategy, or even a business model that technically “works” but doesn't feel aligned anymore, this episode is for you. We're talking about how to make smart pivots, clear out what's no longer serving your next level, and build a business that actually supports the life you want to live—not just one that looks good on paper.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[00:01] My decision to retire the STR Virtual Summit for Women and embrace a new direction for serving the community[01:21] Why courageous pivots require letting go of what no longer serves your mission[02:23] I share the real reason behind my decision to retire the STR Virtual Summit for Women, and it comes back to the women I created it for[03:31] The difficult realization that the biggest barrier was never a lack of information—it was the ability to actually implement what was being learned [04:22] The concept of Strategic Pruning as the lesson I want listeners to carry with them beyond this episode[05:34] My three questions for identifying what to eliminate and refocusing your business priorities [06:04] My vision for rebuilding the STR Sisterhood into a year-round community focused on action, connection, and meaningful growth [07:16] I share the boundary I'm putting in place as I reshape the STR Sisterhood and my commitment to creating a hands-on STR Sisterhood experience for women [08:49] My reassurance that the STR Sisterhood community remains open while my deeper support shifts toward women ready to take action Golden Nuggets:“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.”“Having to pivot does not mean you have failed; it means you're paying attention. Real failure isn't changing course. Real failure is staying loyal to something that has quietly stopped working just because you're afraid of what people will think if you let it go.”“Letting go of something good, so something better has room to grow, has a name. It's called Strategic Pruning, and it's one of the hardest disciplines there is for a high achieving woman to practice.”“A good thing that pulls your focus is more dangerous than a bad thing you could easily walk away from.”“Pruning what you love is not failing, it is how you make room for what comes next.”Enjoyed the show?

During this podcast, you will hear the ins and outs of God's design in Creation and how it speaks to those who listen closely and observe carefully. Many of the parables from the Gospels reference common themes in nature or tools in a land manager's toolbox, such as fire, sowing seeds, pruning, etc.. We hope this podcast illuminates the deeper connection between the natural world and your spiritual connection with God, the Creator. Don't just perform the tasks associated with working the land, there is more to grasp and yield from it. Take time to really consider what draws you to the natural world, the lessons it holds, and God himself. If you have questions please reach out, we'd be happy to pray for you! Enjoy.Learn.Share!

James Cameron-Wilson says that cinemas are suffering from the heat, Wimbledon and the World Cup with box office down 31%. He wasn't keen on #1, the live action version of Moana which lacks magic and mostly feels like a cartoon. Although it's not for everyone, he was more interested in #23, Rosebush Pruning, a black comedy about a family with an abundance of problems on a country estate with the likes of Jamie Bell, Callum Turner and Elle Fanning. It's a curate's egg with no narrative thrust. As it is shocking and nasty in places, it's not one for gentle souls. His highlight of the week is the Blu-Ray release of Oh! What a Lovely War, Richard Attenborough's directorial debut. A musical satire of the First World War with an amazing star cast, it holds up remarkably well. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's FarmCon Conversations starts with corn, soybeans, wheat, and the latest USDA numbers, but the better discussion is really about how Kevin thinks through risk, markets, business, and change. Kevin explains why he took profits on a bullish corn position after the USDA report did not deliver the acreage cut he expected, even though the market still rallied. His reasoning was simple: “When things change, I change.”A few ideas worth listening for: Corn and soybeans are carrying weather premium, but both still need fresh confirmation. Kevin explains why corn needs heat during pollination to keep adding premium, while soybeans need August weather, China, energy, or crush demand to bring in the next wave of buyers. Wheat is becoming an export-reliability story. The U.S. crop is historically tight, but Kevin spends more time on whether Russia can actually move wheat reliably through key export channels. FOMO is not a strategy. Kevin explains why he is still nibbling selectively in stocks, metals, and industrials, but refuses to chase just because other people are making money. Demand-driven markets give you more than one chance. Kevin talks about AI, metals, industrials, and commodities through the lens of finding real demand stories and waiting for better entries. Pruning is part of growth. Kevin shares why businesses often need to cut weak branches, stop watering dead plants, and focus more attention on what actually creates return. The sunk-cost trap hurts investors and business owners. Kevin explains why looking backward at what you already lost or spent can keep you tied to bad positions, bad projects, and bad decisions. A few more takeaways from Kevin: “The rearview mirror is super small. The windshield is super big for a reason.” “Most of the hay is made in doing the worst part of the job consistently on a daily basis.” “They mentally can't hold the magnifying glass still long enough to get a fire started.”

God’s pruning process can feel difficult, but it is always guided by His love and purpose for our lives. In John 15:1-2, Jesus reveals that God is the gardener who carefully removes what prevents us from growing and producing lasting fruit. While pruning may involve letting go of things we value, God’s work is never meant to harm us—it is meant to help us become more fruitful. Just as a gardener trims away unnecessary branches to help a plant thrive, God sometimes removes distractions, unhealthy patterns, or even good things that keep us from experiencing His best. He knows where our energy is being spent and what needs to change so we can grow deeper in our relationship with Him. Although God’s pruning can be painful, we can trust the One doing the work. Our Heavenly Father sees the bigger picture and lovingly clears space for spiritual growth, renewed purpose, and the fruit of the Spirit to flourish in our lives. When we surrender what He asks us to release, we make room for greater dependence on Him. Highlights: God prunes our lives because He desires for us to grow and produce lasting spiritual fruit. A crowded life can spread our energy too thin and distract us from what matters most. God may remove both unhealthy things and even good things that keep us from His best. Pruning requires trust because God sees the growth and purpose that we cannot yet see. Letting go of what God removes creates room for deeper faith and transformation. The fruit of the Spirit grows when we remain connected to God and allow Him to shape our lives.

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” – John 15:1-2, NIV Walking through a botanical garden, I noticed a pile of green stems, branches, and buds that had been cut off various plants and scattered on the ground. It seemed at first like someone had vandalized the garden. Just as I started to get angry about what I thought was a crime, I noticed a gardener at work farther down the garden path. He was cutting off parts of plants on purpose! That reminded me that pruning is actually healthy for plants, no matter how hard it may look for them to be cut. Gardeners prune plants to give them the energy and space they need to bloom fully. Pruning helps plants reach their full potential. Jesus reveals in John 15:1-2 that God prunes people. God cuts off what isn’t healthy and productive in our lives and gives us the help we need to be as fruitful as possible in our lives. In the plant world, a vine only has a certain amount of sap to give to its branches. If that sap is sent to 50 different tiny branches, none of them will produce big, juicy grapes. They will all be small and struggling. But if the gardener cuts those 50 branches down to five, all the energy from the sap will go into those five branches. The result will be fruit that’s healthy and sweet. The same is true for your soul. You only have so much energy. If your schedule is cluttered with too many activities, your limited energy will be spread so thin that you’ll become exhausted. You’ll be busy but not fruitful in the way God intended. Even though you’ll be doing a lot, you won’t be accomplishing what matters most from God’s perspective. That can all make your spiritual life feel like a wilted plant. You’ll feel burned out and unable to connect with God in the ways that will help your soul bloom fully. Sometimes, God asks you to step away from things that are clearly unhealthy. It’s easier to do that than to step away from good things God sometimes leads you away from, like a job that pays well but pulls you away from your primary calling, or a friendship that you’ve outgrown. When God prunes parts of your life, he does so because he wants to give you more blessings – but first, you need more space in your life to receive those blessings. Pruning can hurt. It can feel like you’ve lost an important part of your life, or even an important part of who you are as a person. But remember who the Gardener is. It’s your loving Heavenly Father, who has good purposes and plans for you. God doesn’t just hack away randomly; he prunes precisely what’s best for you to grow to reach your full potential. When God prunes your life, he’s clearing the way for a season of growth that you can’t even imagine yet. He wants your life to be like a beautiful garden that fulfills you and pleases him as he sees his good design for your life become a reality. You need to cooperate with God for that to happen, however. It’s vital to be willing to let go of whatever God wants to prune out of your life. So, take an honest look at your life right now. What’s taking the energy away from your relationship with God? Let the Master Gardener do his work to prune it away so you can grow and thrive! Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how pruning is important for you to grow to reach your full potential, reflect on these questions: If you looked at your schedule as a garden, which areas feel the most overgrown or crowded right now? What’s one unhealthy activity you can prune out of your schedule this week to make more room for something that will help you grow closer to God? What’s one activity in your life that’s good but still might be keeping you from experiencing God’s best? How can you let go of it to make room for something better? When you feel God pruning something away from your life, how can you resist the urge to grab onto it and instead trust God to take it away? What kind of fruit of the Spirit (like patience, kindness, or peace) do you want to see more of in your life this season?

In this episode, I share what I've been moving through lately - a season of pruning. A quiet inner shedding of what no longer feels aligned so that something more true can emerge.We explore what it means to return to your authentic self beneath conditioning, perfectionism, and busyness - and how creating space, slowing down, and allowing ourselves to feel is what reconnects us to our creativity and inner truth.I also share a personal story of singing in a concert for the first time since eighth grade, and how that moment brought me back into the experience of shared voice, belonging, and creative aliveness.This is a conversation about remembering, beginning again, and choosing imperfection as a path back to life.In This Episode:* The season of pruning and inner alignment* Why space is necessary to hear your soul* How busyness disconnects us from ourselves* Emotional release and nervous system softening* Perfectionism as protection, not truth* Reclaiming creativity through imperfection* Singing in community and the experience of shared voice* Learning new things as a path back to aliveness* Choosing messy beginnings over waiting to be readyKey Themes:* Authentic self remembrance* Creativity as life force* Nervous system and slowing down* Community and shared expression* Courage to begin againReflection Questions:* Where am I pruning in my life right now?* What parts of me come forward when I slow down?* Where has perfectionism kept me from starting?* What is one thing I could begin imperfectly this week?If this resonates, I'd love to stay connected with you through my writing and upcoming gatherings.You can find me on Substack and through my website, where I'm slowly creating spaces for creativity, connection, and remembering together.Thank you for listening and thank you for being you.With love,ShannonShannonKinneyDuh.com | A Life That Lets Me Breathe Get full access to Shannon Kinney-Duh | A Free Spirit Life at shannonkinneyduh.substack.com/subscribe

I was sitting in a leadership meeting with a client's managers, going through the numbers. Labor costs were climbing. Revenue wasn't keeping up. So I asked the obvious question — what's happening here? Why are we bringing people on when the revenue isn't there to match it?   One of the managers looked at me and said, "We just come in, we get a list of goals — or a list of new ideas — and we figure out how to make it happen. That's all we do."   You could see it. The empowerment draining right out of the room.   These aren't bad managers. They're talented people trying to pick up pieces of rice — absorbing every new idea, dropping the thing they were building to chase the next one. And every founder I know does this for the same reason: they're passionate about growth. Nobody moves the goalpost maliciously. They do it because they love moving something forward.   But here's the hidden tax. Every time you shift the gears — add the new initiative, change your mind, change it back — you add cost, you add confusion, and you erode trust both ways. The rising labor was the price of chasing ideas that never aligned with the goals you set in January.   When you sit in the middle of every decision, what it actually tells your team is: I don't trust you to make the call. And what your team hears is: I don't know what the vision is anymore, because it keeps changing.   So we put it all on the table. Calendars, to-do lists, six months of initiatives. Three columns: non-negotiable, aligned, non-essential. Then we trimmed. It's no different than a rose bush — prune the dead branches and the thing starts growing again.   Because if people aren't clear on what you're trying to accomplish, they can't stand behind it. Not every opportunity is yours to chase. Just because every other business is doing it doesn't mean you need to.   So ask yourself honestly: is your team running your business — or are you running interference for your own ideas? Keep the goalposts in the ground. Let them kick the field goal.   Key Takeaways: • Growth isn't more. More inventory, more products, more menu items, more initiatives — that's the reflex, not the strategy. Look at what's actually working first. • Empowerment is not delegation. Handing your team a list of tasks while you sit in the middle of every decision isn't trust — it's a bottleneck. • Moving the goalpost adds an invisible tax. Those rising labor costs were the price of chasing initiatives that never aligned with the original goals. • Trust erodes both ways. The owner stops trusting the team to move things forward; the team stops believing in a vision that changes every two days. • People can't stand behind a vision they can't see. If your focus keeps shifting, your team can't keep the main thing the main thing. • Prune like a rose bush. Cut the dead branches — the non-essential, non-aligned ideas — and what's left finally starts to grow. • Not every opportunity is one you need to tackle. Evaluate it against your mission before you execute on it. • Get into a rhythm with your team. Meet regularly — what's working, what's not, where are we stuck — and adjust, instead of just piling on more.   Timestamps / Chapter Markers: 00:00   Is your team running your business or are you running interference for your own ideas? 00:35   The goalposts keep moving — you add, you remove, you change your mind, then change it again 01:10   The team picking up pieces of rice — absorbing every shift, juggling it all 01:45   They don't just want to execute. They want to know their work matters 02:09   The client whose goalpost never stops moving 03:20   In the room for the financial meeting — labor up, revenue flat 04:00   The manager's line: "We just get a list and figure out how to make it happen" 04:26   What that statement says about trust between owners and their teams 05:10   Empowerment isn't delegation — and the owner sitting in the middle of everything 05:50   "I don't trust you to decide." "I don't know what your vision is." 06:37   The invisible tax — why those labor costs were really rising 07:20   Trust erodes both ways: the owner's frustration, the team's deflation 08:10   Given a leader's title — and just checking boxes and completing tasks 08:57   When things get hard, the easy move is to add something new 09:40   "Let me see your calendars, your to-do list, your initiative list" 10:55   Pruning the rose bush: cut the dead branches and it grows again 11:26   Initiatives that don't fit the brand — chickens with their heads cut off 12:10   Momentum drained: gaining energy, then forced to stop and shift gears 12:50   Not every opportunity is yours to chase 13:30   Want to rebuild trust? Stop moving the goalpost and empower your team 14:20   Keep the goalposts in the ground so your team can kick the field goal   If this one felt like I was sitting across the table talking straight at you — hit subscribe, share it with the founder in your life who keeps moving the goalposts, and leave a review so more Main Street owners can find it.   And if you're sitting there thinking, "My gosh, Theresa, you're speaking to me" — drop me a DM. We'll hop on a call, talk through how many goalposts you've moved, and build a plan to keep them in the ground so your team can finally get those projects across the finish line.   READY TO UNCOVER THE BLIND SPOT HURTING YOUR SMALL BUSINESS?

In this episode, I share a lesson that came to me while spending a full day working on the landscaping in front of our home. What began as a simple Saturday project of trimming bushes quickly became a powerful metaphor for life and business. Some of the shrubs in our landscaping had grown far beyond their intended place. They were healthy in one sense, but they had become invasive, disproportionate, and unmanaged. A light trim was not enough. Some of them had to be cut all the way back to the core. As I worked through that process, I realized that the same thing has been happening in areas of my life and business. Through my daily audio journaling practice, I have been paying closer attention to where my time, energy, focus, and commitments are actually going. That practice has revealed places where good things have grown beyond their proper boundaries. Some activities are valuable, but they have started to encroach on the space intended for something else. In this episode, I talk about how this has shown up in my business calendar, my invitation engine, my CRM, podcast production, commitments, spending, tools, and even identity. I also share how I am learning to distinguish between what needs a light trim, what needs radical pruning, and what may need to be removed altogether. The central idea is this: Unmanaged growth is not the same as healthy growth. Sometimes the next level does not begin by adding something new. Sometimes it begins by cutting back what has overgrown. In This Episode, I Talk About Why I decided to work on my own landscaping for the first time in twelve years. How overgrown holly and Japanese barberry bushes became a metaphor for life and business. The difference between healthy growth and unmanaged growth. Why some things need more than a light trim. How daily audio journaling has helped me identify blind spots and patterns. What I have noticed about my calendar, commitments, and business model. How CRM optimization began encroaching on my invitation engine. Why not every good idea belongs in the moment when it appears. The importance of pruning distractions even when they are valuable. Why pruning often looks ugly before it looks healthy. How I am evaluating my weekly commitments to The Cliff Ravenscraft Show and Podcast Answer Man. The question we all need to ask: “What has grown beyond its intended place?” Key Takeaway Not everything that grows is healthy simply because it is growing. Some things in life and business start out useful, beautiful, or productive, but if they are left unmanaged, they can eventually take over more space than they were ever meant to occupy. The work of pruning is the work of intentional leadership. Reflection Questions What has grown beyond its intended place in your life or business? What are you maintaining simply because it has always been there? What needs a light trim? What needs to be cut back to the core? What may need to be pulled out completely? Where have you confused activity with alignment? Where might things need to look bare for a season so they can become healthier later?

This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. “If you do not prune on purpose, you will be pruned by force.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Everyone is asking what they should add to grow their business this year. A new offer. A new funnel. A new hire. A new strategy. But the CEOs who actually scale don't ask what to add. They ask what to remove. Because growth doesn't come from doing more. It comes from carrying less. And if you're still measuring your next level by what you can build instead of what you're willing to release, you are setting yourself up for a forced pruning season that will cost you more than it ever should. This episode is the line in the sand. Because from this point forward, you don't wait to be pruned. You lead it. If you are a six- or seven-figure CEO who has been carrying more than your next level requires, this episode will show you exactly how to stop. In the final episode of the Pruning Season series, Dr. Darnyelle delivers a powerful CEO protocol to help you audit your business, your leadership, and your identity so you can scale with alignment instead of exhaustion. We explore strategic pruning, business audits, leadership discipline, CEO identity evolution, team alignment, client alignment, and how to protect your capacity so your revenue, peace, and purpose can grow together. Here's the truth: most CEOs don't grow because they don't know what to do. They don't grow because they refuse to let go of what no longer fits. And what you refuse to release will eventually be removed for you. You'll walk away with a complete pruning protocol you can implement immediately, including five critical audits that will help you identify what stays, what goes, and what needs to transition so you can move into your next level with clarity, capacity, and confidence.  Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to audit your offers, clients, and team to identify what is draining your growth ✔ How to build a pruning rhythm into your leadership so you avoid forced breakdowns ✔ How to align your identity with your next level so your business can actually sustain it ✔And so much more This episode is a call to stop leading reactively and start leading with intentional discipline. To become the CEO who evaluates before the breakdown, releases before the burnout, and aligns before the revenue forces the issue. This is your invitation to take back control of your leadership by building pruning into your rhythm. Not when it hurts. Not when things fall apart. But because you have decided that your next level deserves space before it arrives.

It comes from alignment.” “Every offer that is not producing is still consuming.” “Loyalty without alignment becomes obligation.” “The question is not what you should add. It's what you should stop carrying.”   Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: What am I still carrying that my next level does not require? Where am I choosing loyalty over alignment in my business? What am I avoiding evaluating because I already know the answer? If I were starting from scratch today, what would I refuse to rebuild?
