Send us a textEpisode Summary: In this episode of Inflamed in the Brain, Krissy, your friendly neighborhood dietitian, dives into the topic of snacking—particularly how to build balanced, anti-inflammatory snacks. Krissy breaks down common misconceptions about snacking, explains why snacking isn't inherently bad, and provides actionable tips on building satisfying and inflammation-fighting snacks. She covers why pairing carbs with fats and proteins is crucial for blood sugar control and sustained energy, and discusses the role of intuitive eating in choosing the right snack size based on your hunger cues.Key Topics Covered:Debunking Snacking Myths:Myth #1: Snacking is bad for you.Myth #2: A snack should always be something small, like fruit or yogurt. Krissy explains why it's okay to have snacks like chicken wings or eggs and highlights the importance of pairing carbs with fats and proteins for balance.Building a Balanced Snack:Why a balanced snack matters for inflammation:High blood sugar can lead to inflammation by triggering oxidative stress and impairing your body's use of antioxidants.Krissy discusses how combining carbs, proteins, and fats stabilizes blood sugar levels, preventing spikes that can contribute to inflammation.Examples of balanced snacks: avocado toast, yogurt with berries and chia seeds, and hard-boiled eggs paired with fruit.Snacking for Blood Sugar Control:Consuming carb-heavy snacks alone can cause blood sugar spikes, leading to fatigue and cravings. Pairing carbs with fats and proteins offers more stable energy, helping you avoid the blood sugar rollercoaster that promotes inflammation.Listening to Your Body's Hunger Cues:Krissy emphasizes intuitive eating, explaining that the size of your snack should depend on how hungry you feel, your activity level, and how far away you are from your next meal.Practical tip: Before snacking, ask yourself if you're lightly hungry or really hungry. This helps guide you toward choosing an appropriately sized snack without obsessing over portion sizes.Addressing Emotional Eating:Krissy discusses the importance of identifying emotional triggers—such as stress or boredom—that may cause you to snack unnecessarily. She shares strategies for coping with emotions without turning to food, like taking a walk or journaling.Key Takeaways:Snacking isn't inherently bad, and you shouldn't feel guilty for grabbing a snack.A balanced snack consisting of carbs, fats, proteins, and fiber helps stabilize blood sugar and fight inflammation.Listen to your body's hunger cues to determine the size of your snack, and avoid emotional snacking by finding other outlets for stress and emotions.Mentioned in This Episode:Example balanced snacks: avocado toast, yogurt with berries, hard-boiled eggs with fruit.Practical tip for mindful snacking: "Am I lightly hungry or really hungry?"Hungry for More?!

The Top 2 Reasons You're Not Building Lean Muscle After 40—And How To Fix Them Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams shifts focus from weight loss to muscle building, addressing the common issue of not seeing the desired lean muscle gains despite hard work in the gym. He highlights the top two reasons people struggle with this: Insufficient Protein Intake: Many people, especially women, don't consume enough protein. Brad emphasizes that to build muscle, you need to consistently hit your daily protein target. He suggests aiming for 1 gram of protein per pound of your desired body weight and making it easier to track by limiting meals to one or two a day. Inadequate Muscle Stimulation: Brad explains that simply lifting weights isn't enough. You need to properly stimulate your muscles through effective reps, either by focusing on time under tension (slower, controlled movements) or by increasing mechanical load. He encourages aiming for muscle failure in a safe manner, ensuring you push beyond what you think you can achieve. Brad wraps up by advising listeners to adopt these strategies for a month and reassess their progress. He also offers free consultations for those needing personalized guidance.

As female dental practice owners, we love helping others and putting others first. However, we often forget that we also need to set boundaries and take care of ourselves so we can serve our employees and patients in beneficial ways. In this episode, I welcome Dr. Laura Brenner who helps dental practice owners recognize what burnout looks like and make important decisions regarding continuing on their journey as a dental practice owner … or not. As dental practice owners, we often create and carry great levels of stress which can lead to burnout! We sometimes compromise how we want to serve because we try to conform to how we believe others are viewing us. However, as leaders, it is essential to give ourselves permission to design our practices the way we want them to be. And this includes trusting others to do their jobs. Situations may arise that are beyond our control, but we have to give ourselves the grace to know that we can do things better in the future. Taking time to create boundaries and define how we want to serve others in our lives can create clarity and help us define how we, along with our employees and patients, can be winners.  Are you ready to design and plan your life right now according to where you are right now? Why wait? Listen to this episode so you can start living right now, and you may be surprised at what doors open to you because you are serving in the capacity you want! Highlights from this episode: How burnout happens within dental practice ownership The predictability of the brain and how it wants us to conform for our safety Defining how you want to serve and creating boundaries It's okay to say, “No.” Giving yourself permission to run your practice the way you want to  Being a leader and trusting others around you to do their jobs The art of developing yourself right now Resources and links mentioned:  Laura Brenner's website: Lolabees Career Coaching (contains the link to her free guide “6 Reasons You're Burnt Out in Your Dental Career”) Watch Laura's podcasts on YouTube:  Love Your Practice!

Michael Antonelli sheds light on the complex web of factors, from blood sugar intricacies to the downstream effects on adrenal glands. It's not just about shedding pounds; it's about unraveling the complexities and finding personalized solutions. Understanding these nuances empowers you to reclaim control over your well-being.Navigating the Blood Sugar Balance with Hashimoto'sBalancing blood sugar is a cornerstone in our journey toward better health. I often encounter people who've heard about blood sugar but might not grasp its significance fully. It's more than just a buzzword; it's a vital component of our well-being.Michael Antonelli sheds light on the importance of maintaining blood sugar levels within a specific range. Think of it as orchestrating a symphony—timing and balance matter. For those practicing intermittent fasting or relying on small meals throughout the day, the goal is to keep glucose levels steady. This steady supply fuels our bodies optimally, ensuring they perform at their best.But what causes blood sugar spikes, and why are they problematic? Michael explains that these spikes can result from various factors, such as skipping meals or consuming high-sugar or high-carb foods without adequate protein or fat. The body responds with insulin production to lower the elevated blood sugar. While this might provide a temporary energy boost, it initiates a cascade of metabolic challenges, contributing to weight gain or resistance.What's the Difference Between Brown Fat and White Fat?Many people don't realize that there are different types of fat and that each plays a different role in weight gain and weight loss. Brown Fat: This is the active player, a metabolic powerhouse buzzing with mitochondria. Think of it as the body's go-to for sustainable energy. Activating brown fat is so much more than weight loss as it influences everything from clarity of thought to overall vitality.White Fat: On the flip side, we have white fat—a storage unit designed for emergencies. The challenge with white fat is convincing the body to part ways with this resilient fat. White fat is what we are targeting with weight-loss practices like cold exposure, intermittent fasting, exercise, and calorie restriction. What we're really doing is trying to awaken the elusive brown fat and restore metabolic equilibrium.In short, brown fat is the energetic performer, which contrasts sharply with the emergency reserves of white fat. We can reprogram the body's response system through movement and diet so that it releases excess fat stores, paving the way for a harmonious equilibrium. Understanding and managing the two types of fat isn't just about weight loss, it provides a more holistic way to reclaim mental clarity, reduce fatigue, and even improve our mood. Understanding Insulin Resistance in Hashimoto'sInsulin resistance is a term that a lot of people use without a clear understanding. What's important for people with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism to note is that they can be susceptible to insulin resistance. In this episode, Micheal and I get back to the basics and look at the impact it has on those with hypothyroidism. Insulin's Role: Insulin, the blood sugar maestro, orchestrates glucose entry into cells. However, in conditions like clinical hypothyroidism, this harmony falters. Reduced sensitivity to insulin results in elevated blood sugar, paving the way for weight gain and metabolic challenges.The Hypothyroid Connection: Literature suggests a strong link between hypothyroidism and insulin resistance. Understanding this connection is pivotal. Hypothyroidism hampers insulin's effectiveness, creating a domino effect that extends beyond mere blood sugar regulation.Metabolic Health: It's not just about insulin; it's a symphony of hormones—leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin—each playing a crucial role in metabolic health. Navigating these intricacies is key to unlocking the secrets of optimal well-being.When most people think about insulin resistance, they go to the standard advice of "just avoid carbs". It's not that simple. Michael and I break down this common recommendation, exploring the nuances and offering a more comprehensive perspective on managing insulin resistance. It's time to empower ourselves with knowledge and embrace holistic solutions for lasting well-being.Demystifying Leptin and GhrelinLeptin and ghrelin are hormones that often hold the key to weight management because they control appetite and satiety. Leptin, produced by fat cells, regulates weight, energy, and even influences insulin sensitivity. Balancing leptin levels is crucial for metabolic and reproductive health (especially for those navigating fertility challenges with hypothyroidism).Ghrelin, another player in appetite and energy balance, influences growth hormone release, fat storage, and stress response. Lifestyle choices can have a big impact on these hormones. Opt for a high-fiber, low-glycemic diet, balance healthy carbohydrates and fats, and consider small, frequent meals. Exercise is also key as it contributes to hormonal harmony. Supplements play a role and when combined with exercise and healthy eating, they form a powerful approach to help you reach and maintain your health goals.Revolutionizing Wellness with Peptides for Leptin and Ghrelin HarmonyIn the world of nutrients, peptides emerge as potent influencers for critical hormones like leptin and ghrelin. Peptides (small amino acid chains) activate cells, giving them a pivotal role in activating the leptin and ghrelin hormones.The DNF-10 peptide matrix exhibits impressive effects on ghrelin and leptin. Short-term use modulates ghrelin, while prolonged application improves leptin levels, aiding appetite control and encouraging healthier food choices.Michael shared that in one study, a daily 500-milligram dose led participants to consume 600 fewer calories daily over eight weeks. He used the analogy of these peptides acting like a Roomba vacuum cleaner, addressing specific needs without unnecessary intervention. They jumpstart positive changes, fostering better food choices, and increased energy levels.Peptides offer a short-term, high-impact approach, but also move people toward healthier habits and sustained well-being. The aim is not prolonged reliance but to instill confidence in the body's optimal function through improved lifestyle choices.Weight Loss Through AMPK and Metabolic SupportI know that when most people think about weight loss, they're focused on that number on the scale. But it's important to look at the big picture and also consider fat loss. Specifically, targeting stubborn white fat and distinguishing it from essential muscle and water weight. One pivotal player in this process is AMPK, or AMP-activated protein kinase.AMPK is an enzyme that helps with energy  utilization and metabolic regulation. It aids in glucose regulation, lipid metabolism, and protein synthesis, promoting energy homeostasis. Activating more AMPK becomes a key way to enhance longevity and overall health.There are herbal and nutrient supports that boost the effectiveness of AMPK. Bitter melon, particularly the trademarked Factor 21, stands out for its ability to regulate fibroblast growth factor 21 and activate AMPK. Additionally, compounds like Actiponin and INU-slim further contribute to appetite regulation, calorie balance, and glucose control.Another potential addition to the arsenal is L-BAIBA, a metabolite of L-Valine which is typically produced during intense workouts. Acting as an exercise mimicker,  L-BAIBA enhances the positive effects of exercise, facilitating white fat reduction and increasing thermogenesis. Michael explained that synergizing these elements in proper therapeutic doses creates a powerful combination, offering a comprehensive approach to sustainable weight management.Blood Sugar Support: The Dihydroberberine AdvantageBerberine, once famed for its gastrointestinal (GI) health benefits, has become a standout in blood sugar regulation. However, its efficacy often comes at the cost of GI upset due to the conversion to dihydroberberine in the gut. This led to the exploration of dihydroberberine as a more potent and gut-friendly alternative.Michael shared how dihydroberine proves superior on multiple fronts. It boasts five times greater absorption and twice the half-life compared to standard berberine. This means longer-lasting effects without the need for higher doses, sparing individuals from potential GI discomfort. He says the ideal dose of dihydroberberine falls between 100 to 300 milligrams, with 200 milligrams emerging as an effective sweet spot.Choosing dihydroberberine over traditional berberine not only ensures better absorption but also sidesteps common issues associated with GI complications. This makes it worth consideration for those seeking optimal blood sugar support without compromising digestive comfort.What I Recommend for Weight Loss with Hashimoto'sNavigating a sea of supplements can be overwhelming, often leading to compliance challenges. Recognizing this, I'm always looking for solutions that are simple, easy to stick to, and effective for those with Hashimoto's and/or hypothyroidism. I found that Ignite+ is a comprehensive solution that combines all of the ingredients we talk about in this episode, in precise dosages for optimal metabolic support. Plus, if you know me then you know I'm all about the scientific proof and this product has done the research, addressing body composition, blood glucose levels, insulin resistance, ghrelin, leptin, AMPK activation, and thermogenesis.Now, I'm personally using it and many of my clients have also gotten good results but you need to consult with your doctor to determine if this is the right option for you. If you decide to give it a try, you can enhance your experience by paying attention to your body's signals. Whether you're aiming to reduce cravings, increase energy, or stabilize glucose levels, listen to what your body tells you. Experiment with dosages and consider the timing based on your health goals.Holistic Approach to Weight ManagementNavigating weight management with thyroid conditions requires a nuanced approach. In our conversation, we touched upon the challenges of fatigue and anxiety, common concerns for those with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. Whether aiming to shed a few pounds or embark on a larger transformation, Ignite's synergistic blend offers a holistic solution. But remember, it's not just about the weight you lose; it's about supporting your body's metabolic health for sustained well-being. Remember, consult with your healthcare provider before introducing any new regimen.If you decide that Ignite is right for you, use this link:ttps://completenutritionandwellness.com/shop/ignite.htmlBe sure to use promo code IGNITE to save 10% Mystery SolvedFor Ariella, we needed to take a holistic approach to support her body's ability to burn fat and lose weight as well as enhance her metabolic markers and overall well-being. I knew that the first place to start was to support her for her thyroid type. To determine that, I ran detailed blood work. She was the unavailable thyroid type which meant that she had enough thyroid hormones but her body wasn't able to properly use it. Next, we looked at her Hashimoto's triggers and discovered that several had not been addressed. We needed to calm her immune system down to stop the attack on the thyroid. Through her bloodwork, we also discovered she had Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), and some overgrowth of Candida in her gut. Next Steps Recognizing that results would take time, I wanted Ariella to experience immediate benefits. Introducing dietary changes for effective fat burning, I incorporated the Ignite+ supplement, as discussed with Michael. Unlike quick fixes or diet pills, Ignite stands out by balancing various metabolic pathways, fostering genuine weight loss, and curbing cravings.Happy EndingWithin days, Ariella noticed a significant reduction in cravings and enhanced satiety after meals. This positive shift allowed her to adhere easily to the plan. The energy boost from Ignite propelled her workouts, leading to weight loss rather than gain. She lost 10 pounds within a month. We plan to continue with Ignite for 3-4 months alongside ongoing support for her Hashimoto's triggers, aiming to reach her goal weight by shedding the remaining 25 pounds.Eliminating Health MysteriesFor Ariella, we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle and help her regain her health. Could this be the missing clue for you or someone in your life? Links:Resources mentionedThanks to my guest Michael Antonelli.

If you're a professional voice actor or audiobook narrator, your job is to stay in the game as long as possible. Voiceover is not a long game. It's an infinite game. Author Simon Sinek says that in finite games, like football or chess, the players are known, the rules are fixed, and the endpoint is clear. The winners and losers are easily identified. In infinite games, like business or voiceover or life itself, the players come and go, the rules are changeable, and there is no defined endpoint. In VO, the players come and go all the time. Every day people come into and get out of this business. The rules of voice over change all the time… this audition wants natural and authentic, this one wants classic announcer, the next wants something offbeat and quirky, and on and on. And of course in voice over and in business there is no defined endpoint. That's why so often you hear it referred to as a journey. There is no destination. Again, your number one job if you're a pro VO: stay in the game. So, what are the biggest threats to you staying in the game? Well, that's exactly what we're going to talk about today. Here are The 6 Reasons You'll Quit Voice Over. _____________________________ ▶️ Watch this video next: https://youtu.be/HdNgM8xRMn8?si=BhaS8-__Hj-FBLWp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@paulschmidtpro?sub_confirmation=1 The VO Freedom Master Plan: https://paulschmidtpro.com/vo-freedom-master-plan The VO Pro Community: https://vopro.app Use code You15Tube for 15% your subscription for life.

The Case:  Hadley has been struggling with weight loss for years and is now in perimenopause. She's tried many diets but the results were temporary. She eats mindfully avoiding gluten, processed foods, and sugar. She was intrigued by the hype around Ozempic (semaglutide) but wanted to make sure it was safe and that there weren't other issues at play in her weight mystery.   Weight Loss Struggles and Hormone Changes in Perimenopause Hadley's struggle is so common. Perhaps it's familiar to you too? You hear about the latest trend in weight loss and wonder (hope) that it's going to be what helps you get your metabolism working in your favor so you can drop those last few pounds and keep them off. Ozempic has put semaglutide in the news with so many people talking about its popular side effect of weight loss with ease. But, like Hadley, you may have wondered - is it safe and does semaglutide really work for weight loss?  The Functional Medicine View of Ozempic for Weight Loss Emily Sadri is a long-time friend of the show. She joined us on episode 107 to share all kinds of eye-opening information about birth control pills and thyroid.  Because of that informative episode, I knew she was just the person to talk to about Hadley's case and this trend of using semaglutide for weight loss purposes. Emily is a board-certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, and hormone and weight loss expert. She owns and operates a boutique women's functional medicine practice in Cleveland, Ohio, and helps women everywhere live more balanced, healthier lives. What is Semaglutide (originally marketed as Ozempic)? Semaglutide is a peptide drug that was initially marketed as a medication for diabetes. Developed by Novo Nordisk in 2012, semaglutide was later found to have the potential for weight loss. The drug is now available under the commercial name Wegovy and is prescribed for obesity. How does Semaglutide Work? One of the most impressive things about semaglutide is its multi-faceted approach to weight loss. Unlike many weight loss medications that rely on appetite suppression or stimulants, semaglutide works by slowing down digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness. In this episode, Emily explains that by slowing gastric emptying, semaglutide delays the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestines, which helps to control appetite and reduce food intake. The drug also acts on the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates signaling for many different functions. The hypothalamus controls sympathetic nervous system signaling, and semaglutide modulates and increases sympathetic output just enough to stimulate lipolysis or fat breakdown. This action raises people's basal metabolic rate slightly, which over time results in weight loss. What did the Clinical Studies on Semaglutide Find? Clinical studies have shown that people treated with semaglutide for weight loss have an average of 15% body weight loss, which is a remarkable achievement. This weight loss was achieved without significant lifestyle or diet counseling, making semaglutide seem like exactly what the weight loss market has been waiting for.  But… As a practitioner who primarily works with women aged 35 to 55 who often have a thyroid issue or Hashimoto's, I'm sensitive to anything that stimulates stress pathways. Emily agrees with my caution but says semaglutide is an appealing option for women who are looking to lose weight but want to avoid the side effects of stimulant-based medications. Unlike stimulants, semaglutide doesn't suppress appetite in the same way, which is better for metabolism in the long term. However, sustainable weight loss isn't just about eating less.  Exploring the Emotional Component of Weight Loss In this episode, we also discussed the emotional component of weight loss and how important it is to acknowledge and address it. We talked about how people need reassurance to feel confident about the weight loss process and how feedback can be a useful tool in achieving success. She explained that extreme dieting can be deleterious for hormones, create stress, and cause women to feel like nothing will work. She emphasized that restoring balance is crucial and shared how semaglutide, can help stabilize glucose levels and create a sense of evenness, reducing anxiety around blood sugar irregularities. Understanding Semaglutide and Its Effects on Glucose Levels Semaglutide works for type II diabetes because it raises insulin initially, which is contrary to anti-insulin theories. However, it also helps lower glucose levels. Stabilizing glucose levels can help women overcome the glucose rollercoaster that they often experience. When glucose levels stabilize, the anxiety and chemical dips in blood sugar that drive hunger disappear; leading to a sense of zen detachment from food. The Role of GLP-1 in Weight Loss GLP-1 is a peptide hormone that signals satiety and fullness, which helps with weight loss. When we produce more GLP-1, it increases our sensitivity to leptin, our satiety hormone. Emily points out that we don't fully understand why some hormone signals get messed up along the way, but it's likely due to the abundance of food we have access to all the time. This abundance makes us eat as much as we can get our hands on, which causes us to ‘save up for a rainy day' that doesn't come in modern America. It's one of the main drivers of the obesity epidemic, according to one theory. Using Semaglutide is Not a Silver Bullet After our in-depth discussion about using semaglutide for weight loss purposes, Emily cautioned that it's not a silver bullet. While it can provide significant support, she emphasizes the importance of also adopting lifestyle changes, such as reducing processed foods and sugar, and increasing healthy fats and proteins. It's also important to find a sustainable way of eating that works for you and creates balance. She reminds us that weight loss is not just about looking good but about metabolic health, longevity, and overall well-being. Is Semaglutide for Weight Management a Long-Term or Short-Term Solution? As a weight management medication, semaglutide was designed to be a long-term solution. But from the perspective of functional medicine, Emily explains, it is important to look at transitioning off the medication or moving to a small maintenance dose that may not even need to be given weekly. The goal is to promote healthy metabolic flexibility and the ability to burn fat easily, which can be achieved by working on all the other things that support weight loss and good health. What You Need to Know about Taking Semaglutide for Weight Loss Before jumping on the Ozempic bandwagon, here are the key things you need to know about semaglutide: Side Effects of Semaglutide Generally, semaglutide is given as a weekly injection and is titrated slowly from a quarter of a milligram to the target dose of 2.4 milligrams to avoid side effects. The primary side effects that people experience are nausea, reduced appetite, anorexia, and initial fatigue. However, these side effects are usually transient, and most people can tolerate them well. Some people are more sensitive to the gastric peptides that the medication increases than others, which can cause nausea, stomach pain, or a feeling of being sick. How Long to Take Semaglutide Emily explains that typically, people are on Semaglutide for at least nine to twelve months, depending on how much weight they want to lose. The medication is used to support weight loss until the optimal weight is achieved. During the first three to six months, gentle interventions such as improving diet, gut health, and hormone balance are implemented. After six months, people usually start to feel better, have more energy, and are almost at their weight loss goal. Negative Side Effects  While Semaglutide does increase lipolysis, it can also cause loss of muscle mass, which is concerning, especially for older people who naturally lose muscle as they age. Therefore, it is crucial to preserve and build muscle by eating enough protein and engaging in a rigorous strength training regimen. Muscle is essential for metabolic balance, as it takes up glucose, and losing muscle mass can lead to metabolic dysfunction. To preserve muscle, enough protein must be eaten, and to gain lean body mass, a different metabolic profile must be achieved. Get Professional Support There is a lot of misinformation out there about semaglutide so it's imperative that anyone using this drug for weight loss be under the supervision of a professional, qualified health practitioner.  Have a Holistic Approach  Weight loss is not just about taking a magic pill but also about changing one's lifestyle, including diet and exercise habits. Emily explains how the mechanics in the body will go back to where they were if a new system is not built, and that's why it's important to change the composition of the body to change the story.  Check Your Insurance Coverage Before Starting   Semaglutide (Ozempic or Wegovy) may be covered by insurance if one has diabetes, meets BMI minimums, or uses compounding pharmacies. However, Emily cautions that compounding pharmacies are not making medications so their products are not FDA-approved like commercial medications, but they do undergo rigorous FDA guidelines and inspections. Focus on Metabolic Health, Not Just Weight Loss It's important to remember that weight loss is not just about looking good, but it's also about improving metabolic health and overall well-being. Emily stresses the importance of balance when it comes to weight loss and metabolic health. Extreme dieting can be harmful to hormones, cause stress, and lead to feelings of hopelessness. It's essential to find a sustainable way of eating that works for you and creates balance. Semaglutide can help stabilize glucose levels and reduce anxiety around blood sugar irregularities, but it's just one tool for weight loss. Lifestyle changes, such as reducing processed foods, sugar, and increasing healthy fats and proteins, are also crucial. Remember, it's not a silver bullet - despite what you might be seeing or hearing online! Happy Ending With careful consideration and after consulting with health care professionals, Hadley decided to try it. I'm happy to report that she's doing great!

Everyone wants the quick fix, but a lot of people don't want to do the hard work. You might be comfortable getting the information and planning everything, but then you don't do anything because it takes you out of your comfort zone.  If you are a self-identified course collector, meaning you see a new course, and you're ready to buy it … You wait for the cart … You can't buy it … You buy it! And then … you won't do anything with it. As an experienced business coach, Lindsay Maloney shares her thoughts on what's holding back so many women from stepping into their CEO shoes and scaling up. Lindsay helps coaches create six-figure businesses by building out their signature offers and designing dreamy client packages without the busy work. Lindsay says everyone wants that instant gratification, which gets in the way of their happiness. But if you want to build a business, it's going to take longer than that. And all those unsexy tasks that it takes to make that business are never shared on the Instagram highlight reels that everyone seems to watch. This delayed gratification can have business owners questioning every move they make. Part of the conversation becomes what you are going to have to do long-term to get this business off the ground and will you be happy doing that? Instead, many people will sit in the creative phase, where they are absorbing information but not taking any action. They're addicted to consuming, not moving forward. There is no program you can buy where you'll have the same results as the rest of the people in your cohort. “No one has ever decided to work with me because I took a course from so-and-so,” says Lindsay. “They work with me because of who I am online ... no one is ever going to want to join your world because you're a good student. They're going to join you because you're a great leader and you stepped out a little bit.” While it's not wrong to buy a course, Lindsay says you have to decide what you're going to DO. You have to keep learning. Identifying what is going to work for you and your business is key. We all have to take this moment and ask, “is this me?” You don't have to be afraid to change aspects of your business that aren't working for you. Remember, you can reassess and adjust and pivot. No matter what is happening, you have control over your business, and you can change it if things aren't making you happy.

Influence comes down to a person's level of authority. When someone is perceived as having power, status, and worth, others readily follow them and comply with them.Authority isn't just a matter of position. It's also a personal quality.When people attempt to develop their influence or authority, they tend to focus on learning social skills and changing their behaviors around speech and body language.But my guest would say that authority isn't about what you learn but who you are, and that once you establish the right lifestyle and mindset, influential behaviors will emerge as a natural byproduct.Chase Hughes is a behavioral analyst who trains both military operatives and civilians. Today on the show, Chase unpacks the five factors that measure someone's level of authority and produce composure, a state which resides between posturing and collapse. We talk about how so much of authority comes down to having your stuff together, why you should become your own butler, and what Andy Griffith has to teach about leadership. We also talk about the things that kill your authority, and how not to be influenced by false authority.After the show is over, check out the show notes at aom.is/authorityResources Related to the EpisodeChase's books:Six-Minute X-Ray: Rapid Behavior ProfilingThe Ellipsis Manual: Analysis and Engineering of Human BehaviorChase's appMilgram experiment"The Social Psychology of Imitated Jaywalking"Chase's Authority Self-Assessment MatrixAoM Article: The 5 T's of Mastering the Art of PoiseBecoming a Well-Differentiated LeaderAoM Article: Never Complain; Never ExplainSmoke-filled room experimentAoM Article: 8 Reasons You're Hardwired for SheepnessThe 34 Behaviors That Will Kill Your AuthorityConnect With ChaseHughesChase's websiteChase on IGChase's YouTube channel and The Behavioral Panel YouTube channelChase on Twitter

What should I do?”[05:25] Ben says, “I have a story that fits both the thriller and the horror conventions. Is that possible or would I need to include the conventions for both or just try to pick the one that best fits?”[06:30] Chris says, “I am completely new to writing fiction. How "rough" can I make my first draft? The sage advice seems to be that the first draft should trump all story construction and prose activities, but I am wondering how "good" does it need to be?"[09:05] Shamsee says, “Do you have any information (like the key scenes and conventions) on the fairy tale genre?”Rate + Review + Follow on Apple Podcasts"I love the Fiction Writing Made Easy podcast!" ← If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing this show!
