Teen anxiety, depression, and self-harm aren't abstract headlines—they're inside our homes. In this direct conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Jennifer (Jen) Robb—nurse practitioner, author of Warrior Mom Rising, and mom—about recognizing early signals, navigating counselors and crisis moments, and why moms must stop burning out in silence. You'll learn practical first steps (10–15 minute daily self-care, nutrition, sunlight, movement), what effective CBT work really looks like, and how to support your teen without trying to “fix” their pain for them. This is a grounded roadmap for parents who need clarity, not clichés.    About the guest   : Jennifer Robb is a nurse practitioner, coach, and author of Warrior Mom Rising. Her work equips mothers navigating teen mental-health challenges with practical tools, community, and faith-informed resilience. Learn more at warriormomcoach.net.   Key takeaways: Early signs matter: withdrawal from family, loss of interest in loved activities, and isolation can precede deeper struggles—notice patterns, not one-offs. When crisis hits, act fast: medical evaluation, labs, and professional support save lives; follow with a structured care plan. Moms can't pour from empty cups: sustained caregiving without recovery time leads to burnout; schedule 10–15 minutes daily for your own regulation (music, quiet car time, sunlight, short walk). Support, don't “solve”: you can love, encourage, and coordinate care, but your teen must choose to engage in healing; release guilt for not “fixing” it. CBT and trauma work are hard—and effective: guided exposure and skill-building help retrain thought patterns and reduce triggers over time. Hope with discipline: change can take months or years; hold purpose, track small wins, and keep routines simple and repeatable. Community reduces shame: find values-aligned groups (peer moms, faith or secular) that provide practical support and perspective. Model healthy basics: nutrition, sleep, movement, and light exposure support both caregiver and teen nervous systems. Redefine strength: strength is steady presence, clear boundaries, and consistent follow-through—not carrying your child's pain.    Connect with the guest:    Website & resources: warriormomcoach.net Private Facebook community for moms: linked on her website Book: Warrior Mom Rising (link on website)   If you or someone you know is struggling or thinking about suicide, please know you are not alone.In the U.S., dial or text 988 to connect with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support, available 24/7.    If you're outside the U.S., please look up the local hotlines in your country or visit https://findahelpline.com/ for international crisis resources.       Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Hey Heal Squad! Today we're joined by Dr. Tiffany Moon, board-certified anesthesiologist, author, entrepreneur, mom of twins, and yes, you may also know her from Bravo's Real Housewives of Dallas. But behind the scenes, Tiffany has faced her own battles with infertility, PCOS, miscarriage, and the heavy weight of perfectionism. She shares what it was like to navigate the medical system as both a doctor and a patient, and the shame and isolation of infertility, the toll of hormone struggles, and how childhood trauma shaped her drive for control and perfection. Most importantly, Tiffany shares how she began to heal, giving us everything in her toolkit like therapy, coaching, and what she calls “joy prescriptions.”  If you've ever battled health challenges, perfectionism, or the weight of unrealistic expectations, this episode will remind you that joy isn't something you wait for, it's something you create from within!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Perfectionism steals your joy. Tiffany's childhood trauma fueled her need for control, but real healing began when she stopped chasing perfect and started embracing imperfect progress. Joy is a prescription. Tiffany now writes herself “joy prescriptions”, intentional doses of laughter, fun, and lightness, as medicine just as important as any pill. Redefine success from within. True happiness isn't about external achievements or titles; it's about rewriting your own story and finding peace in who you are. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffanymoonmd/  Website: https://www.tiffanymoonmd.com/  Book: https://www.joyprescriptions.com/  LeadHer Summit: https://www.leadhersummit.com/ Use code: HEALSQUAD for $300 off ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Do you ever feel like you don't quite fit into the traditional mold—whether in sports, school, or even life? Maybe you've tried the “standard” path but never felt at home, and deep down you wonder if there's something more—something uniquely yours.

His story reminds us that failure isn't the end—it's the very foundation of greatness.Quotes:"Always stay true to you, don't compare yourself, and don't try to do what others can do. They might have a unique skill set that I don't necessarily have.""I want to create a space for those people that feel like they're maybe underserved, can come in and have their own experience, and have someone that can love on them, pour into them, encourage them, and it's a win for everybody.""When you do get to the top or experience that success, it's that much more meaningful and impactful because you know what the bottom feels like."Actionable Takeaways:Turn failure into fuel.

A new study by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions and operating a Global Delivery Centre in Ireland, reveals that 1 in 3 aerospace executives believe artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time decision-making will be the biggest driver of change in aircraft manufacturing by 2035. The TCS Future-Ready Skies Study 2025 examines how aerospace companies are preparing for a digitally enabled and AI-powered future across manufacturing, maintenance, mobility, and supply chains. The report captures an industry in transition, with companies increasingly investing in intelligent, sustainable operations. It highlights how manufacturers expect human involvement to remain essential in 60% of their production processes, on average, reinforcing a hybrid future where human expertise and AI work together. While AI leads the charge, aerospace executives also identified digital twins and robotics as the key enablers for transformation. The study surveyed over 323 senior aerospace executives, including aerospace manufacturers, Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) companies, Manufacturing, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) providers, and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) companies across Europe and North America. With the aerospace market projected to surpass $1 trillion by 2030, and the MRO segment alone expected to reach $137 billion, the study offers a crucial pulse check on where the industry stands and a look into the future. It also aligns with key developments such as the anticipated certification of eVTOL aircraft and the increasing regulatory and operational complexity across global supply chains. Steve Lucas, Chairman and CEO, Boomi, said, "The Future-Ready Skies Study shows that the aerospace industry is at an inflection point where the promise of AI depends on getting the fundamentals right. Change only happens, however, at the speed of trust and that trust begins with data. Agentic AI can only succeed when it's built on a strong foundation of connected, reliable data. By integrating and connecting everything across their complex ecosystems, companies can accelerate decisions, scale innovation, and turn complexity into a true competitive advantage." Key takeaways from the survey: A striking 63% of aerospace executives are open to adopting agentic AI to manage supply chains, but only 6% currently do so, underscoring both readiness and the innovation gap. On average, respondents anticipate only 40% of their manufacturing operations to be lights out (a manufacturing process that uses a high level of automation), requiring minimal human intervention, within the next 5-7 years. Over half (51%) of MRO providers, on average, anticipate a return on investment in advanced technology in five years or sooner, with nearly two-thirds (64%) expecting predictive analytics and agentic AI to deliver measurable ROI in that same timeframe. Only a third (34%) of AAM companies cited "public acceptance" as an obstacle to such services as urban air taxis; in fact, 70% are already building commercial platforms, reflecting industry momentum. Just 5% of MRO executives say their digital MRO strategy is already sufficiently scaled for the industry's next phase. For the rest, 80% anticipate a negative impact from rising operational costs, increased downtime, revenue, and customer churn if their digital MRO strategies fail to scale in the next three years. Digital thread integration is underway, with 59% of manufacturers reporting at least partial implementation, though full lifecycle integration remains elusive. Anupam Singhal, President, Manufacturing, TCS, said, "The aerospace industry has always been one where ambition is matched by precision and safety. Today, ambition is redefined as AI moves from supporting operations to shaping enterprise strategy - advancing passenger experience, safety, and sustainability. At TCS, we see this as a leadership opportunity to help aerospace enterprises build resi...

This Father's Day we launched our brand-new series Playlist—because the Psalms are more than ancient poetry; they're God's playlist for the soul. In this episode, Ps Ants takes us to Psalm 3, where David is surrounded by fear and betrayal yet discovers how to pray through it instead of being crushed by it. You'll learn five steps to move from fear to faith: 1. Name your fear. 2. Shift your focus. 3. Redefine your glory. 4. Anchor in grace. 5. Pray it raw. “When shame says you're finished, grace says you're forgiven,” this message will help you face fear with faith and rest in the Father who says, “I've got you.”

Kevin Smith, senior vice president, NFP, said that with multimillion-dollar "name, image and likeness” contracts raising the stakes, traditional malpractice coverage is proving inadequate as schools, physicians, and conferences face mounting legal and financial exposures.

Inside Bryan Kohberger's Apartment: The Photos That Redefine the Story In this segment of Hidden Killers, we step inside the newly released photo set from Idaho State Police, capturing the spaces where Bryan Kohberger lived, studied, and—according to investigators—worked to control what others would eventually see. More than five hundred images from the WSU apartment and Hyundai Elantra present a startling split: everyday grad-student life (textbooks, exams, even family birthday cards mailed days after the murders) alongside methodical cleanup where scrutiny was likely, and messy indifference where it probably wasn't. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and Tony Brueski break down what's actually meaningful in the images and what's just visual noise. We look at how investigators document “soft goods” like bedding and couches; why bagged hairs and stained fabric can matter even after the headlines fade; and how the Elantra became a secondary scene—processed, dusted, and examined for residue, transfer, and signs of intense cleaning. The big takeaway isn't a single smoking gun—it's a pattern: tidy where discovery seemed possible, careless where it felt safe to ignore. That posture lines up with offenders who manage appearances as aggressively as they manage evidence. We also address the ethics of disclosure. Families have asked to limit the release of graphic material, and we respect that. Transparency doesn't require trauma. The photos we discuss avoid gratuitous details; our analysis focuses on process, priority, and credible inferences—what trained eyes look for, and how the public can understand it without spiraling into speculation. If you've seen the images and wondered what they actually mean, this conversation separates investigative value from voyeuristic distraction. It's about methodology, not mythology—how documentation works, what “organized” really looks like, and why the most unsettling thing might be the emptiness on the walls.

SHOW NOTES: On this show… I'm inviting you to step out of your résumé and into your real self as we redefine your story because it's about who you are, not just what you've done. In a world obsessed with titles and accomplishments, we're exploring the depth of identity that extends far beyond a job title. Let's peel back the layers, laugh at our own career clichés, and reclaim the core traits that make us resilient, creative, and deeply human. We'll explore how your strengths, values, and patterns, not your latest promotion, are the real engines of your career and your purpose. I'll walk you through simple, fun, yet soul-stirring exercises that coax out the traits you might've tucked away. Ready for a journey back to you?  Let's start with a bold idea: You are not your job. Now, before your inner overachiever starts to panic, this doesn't mean your work isn't important. It simply means it's not all of who you are. And yet, so many of us introduce ourselves by title and task: “I'm a project manager,” “I work in healthcare,” “I run operations.” We rarely say, “I'm a creative problem solver,” “a compassionate truth-teller,” or “someone who finds peace in helping others thrive.” But that's who we really are. Our culture tends to equate identity with productivity. From the time we're kids, we're asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” not “Who are you becoming?” That question plants the seed that our value lies in output, not in essence. But identity is far richer. It includes your values, your patterns, the way you naturally show up for people, and how you interpret the world around you. What energizes you? What makes you feel alive? These are the clues that point to your core identity, whether you're in the boardroom, the classroom, or between jobs. Let's go deeper: psychologists call this “narrative identity.” It's the internal story we tell ourselves about who we are and why we matter. And here's the kicker: it's not just based on our accomplishments. It's shaped by the meaning we assign to those moments. Did you show courage in a difficult season? Did you pivot when things fell apart? Those aren't just résumé gaps or achievements; they're identity anchors. If you've ever had a job loss, career shift, or even retirement, you may have felt the sudden “Who am I now?” freefall. That's what happens when our identity is overly fused with our role. But what if instead, we zoomed out and saw our careers as just one expression of who we are, not the whole story? That's what this episode is about. Helping you get reacquainted with yourself, not your skill set. Stop Making Work Your Identity How to Find Passion Outside of the Workplace How to Rediscover Yourself After a Major Change CHALLENGE: Stop leading with what you've done and start rediscovering who you truly are. Reconnect with the traits, values, and passions that make you you—and let those shine in everything you do. I Know YOU Can Do It!

So far, we've explored why you can't possibly implement every user experience yourself and how to scale your influence through services, resources, and standards. Those are essential, but they won't solve the whole problem.Here's the sticking point: your colleagues aren't UX practitioners. And if we're honest, most of them don't particularly want to be. They see UX as your job, not theirs. Left unchecked, that dynamic leaves you as the bottleneck every time.To truly scale UX, we need to turn colleagues into active participants in the design process. That's about more than handing them a playbook, it's about shifting how they see their role.Three Shifts That Make Colleagues UX PractitionersBefore we look at the practicalities, let's break down the three changes that will set you up for success.Transforming Your TeamRight now, your team is probably treated like a service desk. Others delegate UX work your way with the expectation you'll simply execute their requests. As long as that dynamic continues, they've got zero motivation to develop UX skills themselves.To change things, you need to step back. Redefine your role so you're less about implementation and more about enabling. That might mean saying “no” to certain requests or redirecting colleagues to resources rather than solving problems yourself. At first, that feels uncomfortable. But without this step, nothing else sticks.Democratizing Ownership of UXThis is a hard one for perfectionists. If you want others to take responsibility, you have to let go of complete control. That means colleagues will sometimes make decisions differently than you would. They'll cut corners. They'll miss nuances.But that's okay. Progress beats perfection. Your job becomes ensuring they have guardrails (principles, standards, and lightweight processes) so their work lands in the right ballpark. Over time, consistency will improve, but only if people feel ownership from the start.EducationFinally, there's the piece I teased earlier when I outlined your role: education. Colleagues won't suddenly know how to run a usability test or sketch a wireframe. They need skills and, just as importantly, confidence.This is where workshops, training sessions, lunch-and-learns, and simple how-to guides come in. The goal isn't to turn everyone into full-time UX designers. It's to equip them with just enough knowledge to make user-centered choices in their everyday work.Outie's AsideIf you're a freelancer or agency owner, this dynamic plays out with clients too. They'll happily leave all UX thinking to you unless you actively invite them in. That might mean coaching a client through a design sprint instead of running it solo, or providing them with a template to test their own ideas. It's not about doing less work; it's about shaping the relationship so clients share ownership. That shift is what transforms you from a vendor into a trusted partner.Where We Go NextOver the next several lessons, we'll be exploring all three areas we just discussed:Transforming your teamDemocratizing ownership of UXEducationIn the next lesson, we'll start with the most important piece: transforming your own team. Because if you don't change how you work, nobody else will change either.Talk soon,Paul

Why do so many entrepreneurs struggle with overwhelm, self-doubt, and the relentless pressure to “do more”—yet still feel like they're not moving forward? Have you ever wondered why some leaders seem to thrive under pressure while others burn out? And what if the missing ingredient isn't strategy or hustle, but something deeper—how we show up, lead ourselves, and align with our values?In this episode, Brighton Dance, is no stranger to these challenges. With a background that blends entrepreneurship, psychology, and personal transformation, Brighton has made it his mission to help high-achievers break free from limiting patterns and step fully into the life and business they're meant to lead. His passion is contagious, and his unique approach combines hard-won business lessons with powerful mindset shifts—making him especially qualified to speak to anyone who feels stuck in the cycle of stress and striving.Brighton doesn't just talk about success—he lives it. From building businesses to coaching leaders through personal and professional crossroads, he's developed a proven framework that helps people cultivate clarity, resilience, and authentic growth.If you've ever asked yourself, “Why am I working so hard but still not feeling fulfilled?” or “How do I create a business that truly reflects who I am?”—this conversation will challenge your perspective and give you a roadmap to lasting change.Quotes:“If you're just running in your own self-interest, when it gets hard, you want to go easier. But if you're thinking about your teammates, you want to win as a team, and that pushes you so much farther.” “Once you finish a race, it doesn't really matter how well you do—you're just so happy that you did it. It's the best feeling ever.” “Your mind is so powerful—if you think anything negative when you're in pain, it's going to impact you a lot. You really need to drill in positive thoughts, even if it feels over the top.” Key Takeaways:Audit your daily alignment. Ask yourself: Am I living and working in a way that reflects my true values, or am I stuck in patterns of “shoulds” and external expectations? Write down one activity you'll eliminate this week that drains you but doesn't serve your purpose.Reframe burnout as a signal, not a weakness. Instead of pushing through, pause to identify what your exhaustion is telling you about boundaries, priorities, or unresolved inner conflicts. Create one new boundary in your schedule that protects your energy.Practice self-leadership before business leadership. Spend 10 minutes each morning setting an intention not just for what you'll do today, but for how you'll show up. For example, choose qualities like “calm,” “decisive,” or “compassionate” and consciously embody them.Redefine success on your terms. Reflect on Brighton's challenge: What does fulfillment look like for me outside of money, titles, or growth metrics? Write a personal success statement that you revisit weekly to stay grounded.Conclusion:Brighton Dance reminds us that real success isn't about doing more—it's about becoming more aligned, intentional, and authentic in the way we live and lead. The strategies and systems matter, but without clarity of purpose and self-leadership, they'll never bring the fulfillment we're seeking.The invitation is clear: pause, reflect, and ask yourself if the life you're building truly matches the person you want to become. Because when you lead yourself first, everything else—your business, your relationships, your impact—falls into place.

This week, I'm sharing a journaling reflection I recently did with a group of high school girls for a school workshop I delivered - and it was so powerful, I knew I had to bring it here for you too. It's a simple but eye-opening way to pause and rethink what “beauty” really means.In this short, guided reflection, we dive into...What comes to mind when you first hear the word “beauty”Where your current ideas of beauty might come from (social media, friends, family, or culture)How you can redefine beauty in a way that feels authentic, positive, and true to YOUYou don't need anything special to get started, just a pen, paper, and an openness to reflect.

Ryan Daniels and John Sarihan are reimagining legal services by building Crosby, an AI-powered law firm that focuses on contract negotiations to start. Rather than building legal software, they've structured their company as an actual law firm with lawyers and AI engineers working side-by-side to automate human negotiations. They've eliminated billable hours in favor of per-document pricing, achieving contract turnaround times under an hour. Ryan and John explain why the law firm structure enables faster innovation cycles, how they're using AI to predict negotiation outcomes, and their vision for agents that can simulate entire contract negotiations between parties. Hosted by Josephine Chen, Sequoia Capital Mentioned in this episode: Data processing agreement (DPA): GDPR-mandated contract between controllers and processors. Crosby handles DPAs as part of B2B contracting. Credence good: Economic term for services whose quality is hard to judge even after consumption. Used to explain why legal buyers value lawyers-in-the-loop and malpractice coverage.

In this walk-and-talk episode from Costa Rica, I share how I've been redefining everything: happiness, relationships, play, even what “success” means.

In this deeply supportive session, Christine coaches Erin, who has struggled with self-worth, self-trust, and confidence throughout her life. Recently assessed as neurodivergent, Erin has experienced both relief and grief—relief in finally having clarity, but grief in recognizing how much self-criticism and self-betrayal she carried for years. Christine guides Erin through understanding how childhood modeling, people-pleasing, and bypassing emotions have impacted her confidence. Together, they explore how building self-worth comes not from external validation, but from radical self-acceptance, emotional release, and advocating for one's needs in daily life. If you've ever felt “different,” struggled to trust yourself, or wondered how to move beyond self-criticism into true confidence, this conversation will resonate deeply. Consider / Ask Yourself: Did you grow up feeling “different” or like you didn't fit the mold? Do you often bypass your feelings, telling yourself “it's not a big deal”? Have you learned to be a chameleon, shape-shifting to fit others' needs? Are you quick to explain or excuse others' behavior instead of honoring your own hurt? Key Insights and A-HAs: True confidence comes from radical self-acceptance. Self-betrayal often shows up in small ways—ignoring needs, withholding truth, or people-pleasing. Relief can be a doorway into compassion and deeper healing. Suppressed emotions drain energy; released emotions unlock creativity and confidence. The inner child feels safer—and more confident—when we advocate for ourselves in everyday moments. How to Deepen the Work: Notice moments of self-betrayal in daily life and practice small acts of self-advocacy. Allow yourself to feel emotions fully, without judgment or rushing to fix them. Begin somatic practices that connect you to your body (dance, yoga, movement). Read Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler, especially the section on emotional release. Redefine confidence as accepting all parts of yourself, not performing perfection. Upcoming Event: Christine's Women's Retreat is happening October 17–19, 2025. This transformational experience reconnects you to your body, emotions, and intuition, creating profound breakthroughs in confidence and clarity.

Are you exhausted from trying to “get the balance right” between your work, family, home, and faith? As a Christian working mom, you've probably been told that work-life balance is the key to finally feeling peaceful. But here's the truth: the world's definition of balance isn't even biblical — and chasing it may actually be what's keeping you overwhelmed. In this episode, we're unpacking the question: Is work-life balance biblical? Together, we'll look at what God's Word actually says and discover how to step out of striving and into His peace. I'll walk you through 3 practical, faith-centered steps that will help you: ✅ Redefine balance through Scripture so you can stop feeling like you're failing everywhere ✅ Build rhythms instead of rigid rules, giving your days more grace and flexibility ✅ Guard your peace with boundaries that honor God and protect your time and heart If you've been stretched too thin, battling mom guilt, or feeling like no matter what you do it's never enough, this conversation will encourage your heart and give you biblical strategies to live less frantic and more faithful.   ✨ Action Step for the Week: Ask God to show you one area where you're chasing worldly balance and replace it with His peace. Write it down, pray over it, and take one simple step to guard your peace this week.   And if this episode resonates with you, I'd love to invite you into my Faithfully Balanced course — a 4-week, self-paced journey to help Christian working moms restore balance God's way. Inside, you'll learn how to set God-centered priorities, create rhythms of work and rest, and guard your time with healthy boundaries. It's the step-by-step framework I wish I had years ago, and it will help you experience the peace your soul has been craving.

She discusses stepping away from academics, embracing urgent care for autonomy and balance, and applying simulation principles like huddles and debriefs to real-world teams.

Excellence doesn't require obsession—it requires integration. We've all heard the advice: focus on one thing, say no to everything else, single-minded purpose is the path to success. Books like Gary Keller's The One Thing and Greg McKeown's Essentialism make a powerful case for focus. But what happens when that focus becomes obsession? In this episode of Tales from The Lane, Kate unpacks the dark side of a single-minded pursuit—burnout, isolation, and the crushing disappointment of reaching the “top” only to find it lonely. Drawing on insights from Benjamin Hardy, research from the Harvard Study of Adult Development, and real-world examples from Yo-Yo Ma to Venus Williams, Kate makes the case for a different kind of excellence. One rooted in balance, relationships, and impact. You'll learn: Why obsession is not the same as excellence. How even your biggest achievements can feel hollow without integration. The critical role relationships and contribution play in long-term fulfillment. Practical strategies for pursuing excellence without sacrificing everything else. If you've ever felt the pressure to “go all in” on one singular purpose—or if you've achieved success but still feel something's missing—this episode is for you. Tales from The Lane is the podcast for high achievers and successful creatives who want more than just accomplishments—they want a deeply fulfilling life.

Workforce systems are often fragmented—built around short-term funding, disconnected programs, and a lack of coordination between industry, education, and community.But a different model is taking shape - one that's not only working in practice, but has the potential to scale across states and regions. In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Lindsay Blumer, President & CEO of WRTP | BIG STEP, to explore how her organization is building a future-ready, industry-led, and worker-centered workforce ecosystem.Backed by a $10 million grant, Lindsay and her team are launching the Apprenticeship Pathway Coalition Initiative (APCI)—a five-year effort to expand apprenticeship pathways into emerging industries, strengthen regional partnerships, and create a scalable blueprint for workforce development in both urban and rural communities. From infrastructure and manufacturing to healthcare and IT, this episode explores how WRTP is aligning training, policy, and industry needs to meet the challenges of today's labor market—and what other states can learn from it.Listen to learn:What it takes to design a workforce model that can be replicated across states and sectorsWhy modern apprenticeships are expanding beyond the trades to include fields like healthcare, IT, marketing, and educationHow WRTP balances short-term upskilling needs with long-term career pathways for workers and employersThe role of intermediaries in navigating funding, aligning stakeholders, and simplifying workforce systemsWhat educators, employers, and workforce leaders can do today to become more effective partners in building talent pipelines3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. A scalable workforce model starts with alignment, not duplication. WRTP | BIG STEP acts as a “workforce intermediary,” connecting education, labor, employers, and community organizations to create coordinated talent pipelines across regions. Their funding model blends federal, state, philanthropic, and employer-based sources—like the cents-per-hour contribution from union contractors—to sustain long-term collaboration and flexibility.2. Modern apprenticeships go far beyond the trades. Lindsay explains that apprenticeships now exist in fields like healthcare, IT, agriculture, marketing, and education, expanding far beyond traditional construction roles. She points out that 55% of new jobs in the next decade won't require a college degree—making earn-and-learn models more relevant than ever.3. If you want to replicate success, start by listening. WRTP's statewide initiative begins with asset mapping and community conversations, not pre-built solutions—because what works in one region may not work in another. Lindsay emphasizes that local lived experience must inform system design, and that conveners should be flexible enough to lead, support, or step back depending on the context.Resources in this Episode:Visit WRTP | BIG STEP's website: wrtp.orgOther resources:Read about the $10 million grant programConnect with We want to hear from you!

Rest isn't a bonus. It's a necessity for clarity, creativity, and longevity. In a world that praises busyness and normalizes burnout, stepping back is often the most powerful way to propel yourself forward. And it doesn't mean you have to disappear completely, either. During my recent break, I intentionally balanced meaningful, soul-filling engagements with genuine rest and joy.So in this episode of Branding Room Only, I reflect on my summer sabbatical and offer a refreshing take on what it truly means to step away and embrace joy. I discuss how taking a break is a strategic move that recalibrates me and allows me to come back with renewed energy and purpose, while encouraging you to embrace it as a core part of your personal brand growth and strategy.0:55 – How I showed up intentionally and selectively during my summer sabbatical3:11 – How I engaged in joy and maintained visibility without constant activity5:04 – How resting fueled my creativity and strategic thinking during my sabbatical6:47 – Your takeaway and permission to prioritize rest and joyMentioned In Sabbatical Reflections: How Rest & Joy Recharge and Redefine Your Personal BrandSummer Sabbaticals and “Sorta” Sabbaticals for Personal Brand GrowthPersonal Branding Strategy SessionsSubscribe to The Branding Room Only on YouTubeNational Bar AssociationProfessional Development ConsortiumAmerican Bar Association | Margaret Brent Women Lawyers of Achievement AwardsNew York City Bar AssociationCall to ActionFollow & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform! Want more personal branding insights?

In this episode of the Small Business PR Podcast, Gloria opens up about a $5,000 business event that left her with more questions than answers—and why she believes it's time for small business owners to redefine success on their own terms.After investing in travel, accommodations, and the ticket itself, she expected a transformative learning experience. Instead, she was met with high-pressure sales tactics, lack of diversity, and a singular definition of success rooted only in revenue and acquisition.If you've ever felt out of place in the “bro marketing” world—or wondered whether scaling at all costs is really worth it—this episode will resonate with you.Why Growth at All Costs Is Not the Only PathGloria shares what she experienced at the event:Diversity gaps: out of 120 attendees, she was one of just a handful of women and women of color.Sales-driven agenda: the entire conference centered on selling businesses to private equity, not holistic growth.Pressure tactics: upsells, velvet ropes, and exclusivity designed to push a $20K offer.Redefining Success Beyond RevenueThrough this experience, Gloria reflects on a deeper truth:Success isn't always measured by 7-figure topline revenue.Impact, balance, and freedom are equally valuable.Small businesses can thrive by focusing on relationships, healing, and alignment—not just numbers.Takeaways for Small Business OwnersQuestion the spaces you invest in: Does their definition of success align with yours?Redefine growth: Expansiveness, healing, and time with family can be just as valuable as financial KPIs.Bring humanity back to marketing: Customers crave authenticity, not templates or pressure.Final ReflectionThis episode is not about calling anyone out—it's about opening a conversation.

What followed was an awe-inspiring journey: from climbing Mount Everest to becoming the first woman to complete the Seven Second Summits. Jenn and Ash dive into how life's biggest challenges can become the catalyst for radical self-discovery and aligned action. But the episode goes beyond mountaintops and world records.

If you're ready to shift from surviving to thriving and embrace the power of personal choice, this conversation will leave you energized and deeply inspired. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How a near-death experience helped Jenn reframe her life and unlock purpose. The mindset shifts needed to tackle massive goals with courage and clarity. The role of gratitude, intention, and self-care in building resilience. How to break free from societal expectations and live in alignment with your truth.
