Judge Blocks Trump's Harvard Student Visa Ban; White House Works to Reassure Budget Bill Skeptics | NTD Good Morning

Just because you've been there before doesn't mean the process changes. In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and James “J-Dub” Walker break down the common trap techs fall into with returning customers—skipping steps, rushing intros, and assuming too much.  You'll learn how to: Because familiarity doesn't excuse laziness—it demands excellence. -Adapt your intro without losing professionalism or control -Balance familiarity with structure for a better customer experience -Avoid lazy shortcuts that damage repeat trust -Stay consistent—even when the customer knows your name -Ask instead of assume, and elevate repeat visits with small details Mentioned in this episode: PRESS PLAY adaptations for return visits The “ERR” framework: Empathize, Reassure, Redirect The danger of familiarity: where techs often cut corners Customer loyalty stories (and where they break down) Why consistency > one-time excellence Real-world examples from the field—and a cocktail named Lady Hancock

Not every objection is about price. Sometimes, customers are already frustrated the moment you pull up. In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and James “J-Dub” Walker unpack the invisible minefields techs face—frustrated customers, callbacks, pre-diagnosed opinions, and homeowners who try to control the process. You'll learn how to: -Navigate awkward customer situations without taking the blame -Use the “ERR” method: Empathize, Reassure, Redirect -Avoid apologizing for things you don't own -Guide customers back into your process—without a fight -Stay calm, confident, and in control—even on callbacks or late arrivals Mentioned in this episode: The ERR framework: Empathize, Reassure, Redirect “Time, Crime, or Grime” — why customers don't want you inside The danger of owning problems that aren't yours How redirecting avoids conflict (and earns trust) Personality profiles and their role in tension Why every conversation is low-level negotiation

“You are precious and honored in my sight, and . . . I love you. . . .” — Isaiah 43:4 God created you in order to love you and to share a loving relationship with you. That is why you exist—to be cherished by your Creator and to reciprocate that love to him and radiate that love to others. For each one of us, this is the greatest foundational truth we can learn about our existence, and it helps immensely to shape our identity and sense of purpose. Like many of us, though, you may not always feel loved. Moments of feeling misunderstood, ignored, judged, or even rejected may overshadow your sense of worth. But the Bible reassures us of God's deep and passionate love for each one of us. This love is unconditional—no strings attached. You are God's beloved child—precious, esteemed, and honored in his sight. Go ahead and remind yourself of this truth as often as necessary. God's love isn't based on our actions or achievements. It transcends our successes, failures, possessions, status, and everything else about us. There's nothing we can do to earn more of God's love or to diminish it. God's love is consistent, steadfast, and true. Understanding that we are cherished, valued, and treasured by the Creator of the universe shifts our entire perspective. As we embrace this truth, fears and anxieties diminish. We can live with a new sense of peace and contentment, knowing we are beloved by him. Lord God, thank you for cherishing us. Reassure us of your everlasting love for us each day. In Jesus, Amen.

Most client frustrations don't come from bad design - they come from unclear communication. In this episode I provide actionable communication strategies to prevent problems before they start.I hope you enjoy the episodeBeth xxThree Key Communication Strategies:• Proactive updates that prevent client anxiety • Clear boundaries that protect your time • Transparent pricing that builds trustProactive Communication:• Send weekly or bi-weekly progress updates at appropriate times • Tell clients what's happening before they have to ask • Set expectations about communication frequency upfront • Reassure clients that things are moving forwardSetting Communication Boundaries:• Include a "How We Work" section in your onboarding pack • Specify preferred communication channels • Set clear response times (e.g., within 48 hours, Monday-Friday) • Educate clients who don't follow your guidelinesTransparent Pricing:• Frame pricing as a flexible investment from the start • Break down costs clearly in proposals • Provide specific line items rather than package totals • Update clients on pricing changes as the project evolvesScripts for Tough Conversations:• When clients want extra work: "I'd love to explore that for you.

Send Lauren a text! In this episode, I tackle a common dilemma parents face: should you reassure your anxious tween or teen when they're worried, or could that actually make their anxiety worse? I'll share practical strategies to help you know when it's ok to offer a little reassurance. And I'll let you know when it's better to not reassure and what you can do instead. 

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton tackle a tough but important issue: the erosion of trust and privacy in first responder marriages (Amazon Affiliate). A police wife recently shared a post about her husband's squad chat, where an officer complained about his wife's jealousy and even shared their private messages with his colleagues. While camaraderie among officers is essential, sharing private conversations with coworkers can be a serious breach of trust that damages relationships. It can leave spouses feeling disrespected, insecure, and unsure of how to handle natural concerns about workplace dynamics. In this episode, we'll unpack five major issues within this scenario and five solutions for building a relationship rooted in trust, respect, and healthy communication. Five Issues This Situation Highlights: Breach of Privacy Private conversations between spouses should remain private. When messages are shared with coworkers, it damages trust and makes the spouse feel vulnerable and disrespected. Downplaying Concerns as ‘Crazy' or ‘Irrational' Labeling a spouse's feelings as irrational instead of addressing them with empathy creates division instead of resolution in the relationship. The ‘Locker Room Culture' in Law Enforcement Some squads encourage an unhealthy culture where officers vent about their spouses in group chats, fostering negativity instead of accountability. Unclear Boundaries About Opposite-Sex Coworkers The wife in this post clearly has concerns about female officers, but the husband doesn't seem to be addressing them proactively, leading to suspicion and insecurity. Failure to Reassure and Strengthen the Marriage Instead of using open communication to validate his wife's feelings, the husband brushes off her concerns, likely making them worse. Five Solutions to Strengthen Trust and Communication: Respect Privacy and Keep Personal Conversations Between Partners If an issue needs outside perspective, seek trusted counsel (a mentor, chaplain, or therapist), not the squad chat. Solution: Agree as a couple that private texts stay private and discuss concerns with each other first. Acknowledge and Validate Concerns, Even If You Don't Agree A spouse's concerns are not ‘crazy' just because they are different from your perspective. Solution: Instead of dismissing her feelings, the officer could say: "I understand why you feel this way. Let's talk about what makes you uncomfortable and how I can reassure you." Encourage Healthy Conversations About Workplace Friendships Many first responder spouses aren't concerned about workplace friendships—just the secrecy around them. Solution: Have proactive discussions about workplace dynamics before concerns arise so there is clarity about what's appropriate and what isn't. Shift the Squad Culture from Gossip to Growth Officers should hold each other accountable for respecting their marriages, not encouraging toxic venting. Solution: Encourage peer support that strengthens relationships rather than breaking them down. Prioritize Reassurance and Transparency If the wife in this situation is feeling insecure, the husband has an opportunity to reassure her rather than dismiss her. Solution: Create openness by sharing information before it becomes a problem. Example: "Hey, we have a new female officer starting next week. Just wanted you to know upfront in case you hear me mention her." Why This Matters: First responder marriages face unique stressors, and trust is the foundation that holds everything together. When personal conversations become squad room jokes, it weakens the bond between spouses and damages communication. By setting clear boundaries, respecting each other's concerns, and shifting workplace culture, first responders can strengthen both their relationships and their professional integrity. Listen now to learn how to build a marriage that thrives in the face of challenges—without squad drama getting in the way!

Today, we’re talking about a concern that’s been on the minds of many families—immigration enforcement and what it means for schools. With President Trump back in office, there’s been renewed anxiety over federal policies, and in Montrose, Colorado, those worries quickly made their way to the school district.Support the show: https://www.montrosepress.com/site/forms/subscription_services/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New York City's public hospital system is urging patients to continue seeking medical care regardless of their immigration status, while also instructing staff not to actively help patients avoid ICE. Meanwhile, Mets first baseman Pete Alonso has agreed to a $54 million, two-year contract extension with the team. Plus, MTA Chair Janno Lieber is set to testify in Albany, where he will push for a $65 billion transit plan and work to convince lawmakers and the public that the agency can be trusted with taxpayer dollars. WNYC's Michael Hill talks it through with transit reporter Stephen Nessen.

Schools and colleges are some of the places where the fear of President Donald Trump's pledge of “mass deportations” is hitting hardest. That's especially after the administration reversed a policy keeping immigration agents away from schools, churches and other "sensitive locations." In California there are laws to limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. But some lawmakers want to go further to protect classrooms.

After a client says "yes" to working with you, those first few days are huge. They might be excited about finally taking action with their money, but they're probably also nervous, wondering if they made the right choice. In this episode, we're talking about how to make your new clients feel completely confident in their decision to work with you.We've noticed that there's actually more uncertainty right after someone pays you than at any other time in the coaching relationship. Even though they've already committed, they might be thinking "Will this actually work for me?" or "Did I just waste my money?" Your onboarding process needs to address these worries before they even come up.Here's the thing about financial coaching: we're dealing with really personal stuff. Money touches every part of our clients' lives, which is why those first interactions matter so much.

We also share real examples of systems you can use to make sure nothing falls through the cracks while still keeping things personal and genuine.Want to know exactly what needs to happen between "yes" and that first session? Listen in to learn our tried-and-true timeline that keeps your clients feeling supported and builds their confidence from day one.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupBonjoroKey Takeaways:The moment after payment is when clients are most uncertain.

Los Angeles is going through one of it's biggest catastrophic events right now. Sara shares thoughts on life's traumas, what to say to someone when they are going through a hard time and also addresses survivor's guilt. Statistics show that 70% of us will go through at least one traumatic event. Sara went through a natural disaster when a tornado ripped through her town when she was young. Her best friend lost everything and the community came together. Sara also went through another “Lifequake” when she dismantled her home and moved with her sons to another home during her divorce. She has also been mourning for all of her most loved mountains and hikes above Pacific Palisades and Altadena, that are no longer there due to the fires. Sara talks about being prepared ourselves: Nothing stays the same. We live through constant changes. What are some things we can do or say to others' going through their traumas? 1.Reach out. That is the most simple step to show your concern. 2.Acknowledge the loss and express support. 3. Offer help. Ask what you can do. Clothes? Bring food? Contribute to a Go Fund Me? 4. Be empathetic but not overbearing. 5. Reassure them. Let them know they are not alone. Let them know you will be there now and down the line. Final thoughts: Give yourself grace with any guilt you may feel. Remember we are not alone. And try not to put off for tomorrow what you can do today. I am here for all of you.

Hello Wonderful Readers,I felt a lot of resistance writing this piece. I'm very tired right now. Most of you reading this are not in high school, and any of my younger cousins or friends who might be are probably just scrolling on TikTok. You can see how my inner critic is already working against me! That's why it's important to me to challenge myself. I'm determined to write and publish this piece for you anyway.I'm stealing the idea of this list from Austin Kleon, who stole it from Debbie Millman. I listened to his story about it on Millman's podcast this week. Here, I've cobbled together the first six things I wish I had known when I was graduating from high school. That year was 2013, and a lot has changed since then. Instagram existed at the time, but it wasn't widely used. This was years before TikTok, when the first major sex scandal about Jimmy Savile came out, and Oscar Pistorius, the South African sprinter, had just murdered his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.I was finishing up my A-Levels at my incredibly fancy and academically rigorous “secondary school,” Westminster School in London. I had gotten rejected from all the top universities I applied to and was on my way to taking a gap year. I had no idea what I was doing with my life (spoiler, I still have no idea what I am doing now). So, without further ado, this is what I wish I had known at that time.1.

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"People being introduced to today's wealth of resources for sexual addiction and sexual betrayal trauma recovery owe a lot to our guest. Carol Sheets, also known to her radio, podcast, and YouTube audiences as "Carol the Coach," was among the first therapists to become a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT). For years she has been offering encouragement, advice, and resources not only for recovering sex addicts, but also for their partners recovering from betrayal trauma. In 2019 Carol released Help Her Heal: An Empathy Workbook for Sex Addicts to Help Their Partners Heal. This was a simple, practical guide to help recovering addicts understand the pain their partners experience with sexual betrayal, and to give them tools to develop the needed skill of empathy. Carol also created a model for couple's recovery called ERCEM (Early Recovery Couple's Empathy Model), understanding that for couples who have experienced sexual addiction and betrayal to heal, BOTH partners eventually need to discover empathy for the other's past experiences with trauma. Her 2022 book Help Them Heal: Teaching You Both How to Heal Your Relationship After Sexual Betrayal, helps couples navigate this difficult work and understand that there is hope for couples after sexual betrayal.Some of the "initials" we talked about in the episode include:CSAT - Certified Sexual Addiction TherapistAPSATS - Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma SpecialistsERCEM - Early Recovery Couple's Empathy ModelAVR - Acknowledge, Validate, Reassure (empathetic communication skill)Greg & Stacey had a great conversation where Carol shared how she got started, how she remains committed to learning newer and better ways to help people, and she even took some time to talk through a recent trigger Stacey experienced. We're grateful for the lifetime of work Carol brings to people in recovery, and we believe you will be too.#carolsheets #carolthecoach #helpherheal #helpthemheal #empathy #ercem #apsats #grace #awaken #awakenrecovery #awakenpodcast #whatwereallywant #wwrw  #connection #conversationCarol The Coach's websiteCarol's books (on Amazon)Sexual Addiction: Strength/Hope/Recovery (Carol's podcast) Awaken websiteRoots Retreat Men's IntensiveRoots Retreat Women's WorkshopAwaken Men & Women's support meeting info (including virtual)

Summit Therapeutics made headlines this weekend at the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer, revealing that its bispecific antibody outperformed Keytruda in first-line non-small cell lung cancer. Meanwhile, bispecifics are one of several therapeutic classes on the agenda at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Barcelona later this week. Last week, BioMarin held a public address intended to calm anxious investors after rounds of layoffs and pipeline changes—but many were left wanting. Also undergoing major upheaval is Lykos Therapeutics, which laid off 75% of its workforce after failing to secure approval for its MDMA-based post-traumatic stress disorder therapy and announced last week that CEO Amy Emerson is stepping down from her role. In Washington, D.C., Congress is back in session this week and wasted no time in reviewing the BIOSECURE Act, which passed a House vote on Monday.  And on the weight loss front, Terns Pharmaceuticals is moving ahead to Phase II after its investigational GLP-1 pill elicited positive results in Phase I, and Amgen is pushing MariTide into a broad late-stage development program that will test the obesity treatment in other weight-related conditions, such as heart, kidney and liver diseases.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports as New york's Mayor tries to reassure New Yorkers amid a swirling federal investigation.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 5th of September, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We start in Old Testament in the Book of Lamentations 1:20-21: “See, O Lord, that I am in distress; My soul is troubled;…They have heard that I sigh, But no one comforts me.”Then we go to Psalm 42:5:“Why are you cast down, O my soul?And why are you disquieted within me?Hope in God, for I shall yet praise HimFor the help of His countenance.”Now, you know, the interesting thing there, my dear friend, is that we read this scripture from Psalm 42 - it is written twice in Psalm 42 - in verse 11 as well. Then we go to Psalm 43 and it is written yet again, three times on two pages. People are distressed, people are troubled. I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to look up the meaning of the word “Distress” It means “extreme unhappiness”, and it means to be “heartbroken.” Now, you and I need to show more love and more compassion to people who are hurting. Please never say to a hurting and distressed person that you understand, unless you have been there yourself, because they can see right through you. Rather put your arm around them, weep with them, sit with them and just be quiet. What they need desperately is hope. Faith is for the present and hope is for the future. Reassure them that this life is very temporal. It is not going to last, we are passing through, we are sojourners. We are going home. Tell them about the life to come, speak to them about Heaven. You know, Jesus spoke so much about His heavenly home. Paul, the great apostle said, in Philippians 1:21: “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” You can't frighten a Christian with Heaven. If we live, we live for Jesus, if we die, we go home. I see some of these top sportsmen in the changing room before they go out onto the field, banging their heads up against the wall to get psyched up! You and I don't have to do that. What we need to do is go for a good walk, sit somewhere in a quiet place, and have a heart-to-heart chat with Jesus. Tell Him about your troubles, tell Him about your distressed moments and then leave it in His capable hands, and you will feel so much better. That is what I do. Have a good chat with the Lord and He will reassure you that He will sort it all out in due time.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Plus, a special update: baby Logan has been born since we recorded the episode and is a happy, healthy baby!

Suggest how important it is that he places the welfare of other people ahead of his own. Make it clear that he's not under pressure and need not see you again if he doesn't want to. Reassure him that you won't be offended if he wants to call it off, as he has helped you more than you've helped him. As the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous states, ‘Practical experience shows that nothing will so much ensure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics.' This approach fosters a spiritual awakening, revealing that the power flowing through you is not of you. Remember, not everyone gets well simply because you want them to.

Political attacks on nonprofit organizations can come in many forms, including legal challenges or public smear campaigns. Given the current political climate, organizations that engage in policy reform and election season advocacy are coming under increased scrutiny. As a result, it is crucial to be proactive and develop a comprehensive strategy to safeguard your organization's reputation and operations. On this episode, we will discuss how your organization can ready itself in advance of potential politically motivated attacks.    Lawyers for this Episode  Monika Graham  Susan Finkel-Sourlis  Natalie Ossenfort    Threats Directed at Nonprofit Organizations:  Attempting to Criminalize Social Services  Texas Attorney General launched investigation of an organization that provides services to the immigrant community  3 Activists in Georgia were arrested after their organization's charitable bail fund posted bond for individuals who protested against Atlanta's “Cop City.”   Congress Conducting Increased Investigations of Nonprofit Organizations  Ways and Means Committee issued Request for Information (RFI) asking responders to identify groups they believe are using voter registration and education to sway the outcome of candidate elections  In May 2024, House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer and Committee on Education and the Workforce Chairwoman Virginia Foxx launched an investigation into the funding sources of about 20 organizations that have funded recent anti-Israel demonstrations across U.S. college campuses  Using Repressive Tactics to Discourage Public Participation  3 organizers arrested and charged with a misdemeanor obstruction of highway or other passageway after the peacefully marched in protest of a confederate monument  79 people arrested and charged with criminal trespass for participating in a protest at the University of Texas  Incorrect or purposely distributing misinformation around elections.   Other threats include organizations being covertly contacted by those who want to catch them “red-handed” in an illegal act, doxxing, and more!   Tips for Preparation:  Adopt Clear Organizational Policies:  Organizations should adopt policies regarding nonprofit activities, communications, and responses to political issues.  Ensure that all staff and board members are trained and aware of these policies, and maintain copies of signed policies for your records.  It is a best practice to include these policies in your employee handbook and to require signature during employee onboarding.  If you don't already have policies in place, consider their adoption.  Election season policy to establish expectations for staff when acting on behalf of the organization vs. in their individual capacity  Social Media Policy, including information on how to maintain boundaries between work-related and personal use of social media    Prepare Staff and Volunteers:  Review and understand the rules for engaging in advocacy, including lobbying and election season advocacy. This should include a review of local, state, and federal laws that may apply to your organization's activities.   Schedule training for your team so that everyone is on the same page and understands how to properly track, report, and engage in important public policy and election-related activities.  If training is not an option, encourage your staff to review nonprofit advocacy rules on their own time (see resource suggestions below).   Train staff on how to deal with questions.   Don't let anyone pressure you to say something you don't want to state.  Let your staff know that it is always better to report any suspicious activity, and identify who staff should notify if they suspect that something is awry.  Have a legal response plan in place that designates legal counsel to address potential challenges swiftly and an organizational leader, who is authorized to respond to accusations made against your nonprofit.  Consider requiring staff to participate in IT trainings designed to increase their awareness of potential online threats.    Keep Good Records & Remember to Report:  Keep accurate and complete records, and ensure your filings are in order.   Nonprofits should carefully track their lobbying, ballot measure advocacy, and other projects to comply with lobbying limits and ensure accurate reporting to the IRS and relevant state and local authorities.  Remember to timely and accurately file any required lobbying disclosure reports, campaign finance (e.g. ballot measure) reports, and your organization's annual exempt organization return (990).   Check out our resource entitled “Keeping Track" to make sure staff are trained to properly track their time.    If you are attacked, stay calm.                      Reassure board members, staff, volunteers, and supporters that you are diligently gathering the facts.  Share information with your coalition partners and allies so they are not caught off-guard and can prepare for questions that may arise.  Go back to your response plan, and put it into action.    Resources Tips for Nonprofits: Preparing for the Possibility of a Politically Motivated Attack  Being a Player: A Guide to the Lobbying Regulations for Advocacy Charities  Rules of the Game: A Guide to Election Related Activities for 501(c)(3) Organizations  The Connection: Strategies for Creating and Operating 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, and Political Organizations  Keeping Track: Guide to Recordkeeping for Advocacy Charities

Episode #91: Dr. Lisa Damour's latest book, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers , is out in paperback. On this episode we revisit the best nuggets of my previous conversation with Dr. Lisa, focusing on teen and tween friend groups and all of the anxiety that goes along with parenting a teen who is dealing with not being in a group. We cover teens not liking their place in a group, wishing they had a group, wishing they had a smaller group, and so on. We also discuss the reality that every kid will be left out and will likely leave out others, and we touch on what "mental health" actually means. (It doesn't mean feeling good all the time.) Finally, we spend a good deal of time on helping teens manage conflict with friends.  Dr. Lisa Damour is a renowned psychologist and the NYT  bestselling author of Untangled, Under Pressure, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers, and the co-host of the Ask Lisa Podcast. Find Dr. Lisa on Instagram and Twitter.Topics We Covered: Dr. Lisa with Dax and Monica on Armchair ExpertTeens will get left out and leave others. Friend groups seem overly formal to adults these days, but it's a reality for teens. Lisa said, "If your kid has one or two good buddies, leave it alone. It's perfect. If your kid has a large friendship group, do not assume that anyone is going out of their way to cause trouble. It is the nature of those larger groups."In groups of over four, it's impossible that every person will like each other equally. If your teen has a few close friends, they have everything they need for a positive social life. Reassure them that we have good data showing that the least stressed kids have one or two good friends.Understanding that mental health has come to be equated with feeling good or relaxed or happy. These are all wonderful things, but they're not what mental health is. Dr. Damour explains that being mentally healthy is about having feelings that fit the circumstance, then managing those feelings, even if those are negative emotions.Learning the difference between uncomfortable and unmanageable.Helping teens make the most of the friendship strife they face by learning how to handle conflict. This will serve them for the rest of their lives.* All transcripts are available on the main Buzzsprout "Dear Nina" site. Click on any episode and find the transcript tab.

When we hear the word "sales", we tend to cringe and think of dodgy car salesmen and annoying telemarketers with their pushy (and sneaky) sales tactics. Having experienced more than our fair share of disappointing and/or frustrating sales experiences, we hate thinking about sales, hoping our dream clients will come knocking. We'd rather focus on marketing than sales, staying true to our "authentic" selves. Welllll, I hate to break it to you, my friend, but you NEED to learn to love sales. In fact, Jai believes that sales are the most important part of running a business and that "a business without sales is not a business; it's a hobby." #micdrop The good news is that sales is nowhere near as hard or as awkward as we've been led to believe. Put simply, think of sales as building a little bridge for your clients to get from where they are now to achieving their desired transformation (with the help of your solutions). Rather than getting hung up on the process of "selling", concentrate on being and becoming the best version of yourself. So, where to from here? In today's Make Your Break podcast episode, Jai will walk you through his top 10 easy-to-follow tips to elevate your sales language for high-converting client interactions. Here are the key timestamps for Jai's top 10 sales language tips: Tip #1: Replace “I” with “you” [6:53]Tip #2: Guide them to the solution they're looking for [9:42]Tip #3: Ask questions that lead to a “yes” answer [12:48]Tip #4: Never use the word “but” [15:09]Tip #5: Always agree [17:07]Tip #6: Never use words like “hope”  [23:32]Tip #7: Reassure them with “I got you” [25:22]Tip #8: Always match their energy [26:59]Tip #9: Set expectations by establishing timeframes [29:53]Tip #10: Learn to listen [33:50]  ----- All Jai Long's Details: Jai Long's Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the Six-Figure Business Map: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sixfigurebusinessmap.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Say hi To Jai Long on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Jailong.co ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave a review on the Apple podcast app with the link below: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/creative-business-make-your-break-podcast/id1479145264⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Wedding Photography Summit - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://weddingphotographysummit.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nLrLzaJWItTgoNhe-y1sw⁠⁠⁠⁠ Episode Sponsor: Pepperstorm (copywriting and SEO) : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/pepperstorm

This coaching call is about overcoming the fear of stepping out of our comfort zones. Today's caller, Alana, has always played it safe by never stepping out of her comfort zone. She asks Christine for guidance about how to overcome the fear of taking the risks necessary to move into the life she wants.   [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode421].   It can be scary to move out of what is familiar. Our risk tolerance in our early 20s is much different than when we are older. When we have lived a little more life, we have seen enough to know that regret is far worse than risk. We can't get time back and regret is very painful to live with.   We can recover from most risks, especially social media posts, going after clients, and putting ourselves “out there.” Some people may judge, or some people may not like it but we can recover from that. To be coming to the end of life and wondering why we didn't go after what we wanted is far more painful than taking a risk and maybe having a few people say something not so nice. We're not living our lives if we're only doing things that we think will not be judged by other people.   When we move into a different career, especially the personal growth industry, there may be people who judge us. Let them. It's okay. When we start looking at our own stuff, start speaking our truth, and start healing generational trauma, a lot of people judge us because their subconscious doesn't want to look at their stuff. Instead of them taking personal responsibility and dealing with their stuff they choose to judge others. It is their defense strategy. The biggest thing to remember is not to take it personally. Allow your inner voice and the voices of the people who love and support you to be the voices you pay attention to.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you a coach who wants to start a coaching practice but you're playing it safe despite your training, skills, and passion? Have you had challenges in life that reinforce your desire to stay in your safety zone? Are you willing to start making some bigger changes and start taking some risks? Do you deal with imposter syndrome and would you like to let it go for good?   Alana's Question: Alana fears uncharted territory and would like guidance on how to transition from a structured career path into a less structured entrepreneurial coaching business.   Alana's Key Insights and Ahas: She has worked in a structured career. She is a certified life coach. She finds it difficult to put herself out there. She suffers from imposter syndrome. She fears asking for payment for her services. She believes she can get clients. She fears she will change as a person. Her mother passed away unexpectedly. She lost a pregnancy. She is comfortable with playing it safe. She is hesitant to move forward into unfamiliar territory. She has relied on external validation. She wants to move into curiosity. She is committed to reaching out to clients.   How to Get Over It and On With It: Shift the way she looks at safety. Reassure herself that safety is internally resourced. Honor her inner voice. Remind herself that just because something is unfamiliar doesn't mean it is unsafe.   Takeaway: Stop letting the fear of what other people think stop you from going after what you want. Push out of what is safe. If you only live in what is safe, you will never really live.   Resources: Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover, by Christine Hassler @ChristinHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Assist@ChristineHassler.com Jill@ChristineHassler.com — For information on any of my services Get on the Waitlist to be coached on the show.
