Today, I'm joined by communication scholar and Baylor professor Dr. Allison Alford to shine a light on a topic that speaks directly to the heart of so many women—the often unseen work of "daughtering."

As health systems pursue growth beyond traditional avenues, the role of the strategic planner is becoming increasingly complex. High level directional data is no longer enough — achieving meaningful, differentiated growth now requires leveraging granular, sophisticated data to inform investment decisions. In this episode, host Rachel Woods sits down with Advisory Board experts Sebastian Beckman and Ellie Wiles to explore how health systems can rethink strategic planning for 2026 and beyond. Together, they unpack what it should actually look like to democratize data, why data governance matters just as much as data access, and how service line leaders can partner with planners to make faster, more precise, margin savvy decisions.

I'm delighted to be introducing a brand-new topic to the podcast: modern grandparenting. It's not a life stage I'm personally entering just yet - but as Magnificent Midlife continues to evolve, it's one that feels increasingly important to talk about. My guest is Dee Dee Moore, founder of More Than Grand, an online hub dedicated to helping new grandparents make the very best of their role. Dee Dee brings a sharp understanding of family dynamics, communication and boundaries - and a refreshing honesty about how easy it is to get grandparenting wrong, even with the best intentions. We talk about: -Why grandparenting has become more complicated and more emotionally loaded than ever before -The growing trend of parents limiting or cutting off contact with grandparents (and why it happens) -How modern parenting culture, social media and constant advice have increased anxiety for new parents -Why supporting the parents - not indulging the grandchild - is the most important grandparent role -Common missteps grandparents make  -How mindful grandparenting begins with intention, self-reflection and honest conversations -What parents actually want from grandparents and what grandchildren remember most -Navigating tricky in-law relationships with curiosity, respect and emotional maturity -Why maintaining a relationship with a daughter- or son-in-law matters more than many grandparents realise -How technology - including AI - can help grandparents stay connected, especially across distance -The importance of embracing your grandchildren's world rather than expecting them to adapt to yours -Why grandparenting is a role worth preparing for, not something to "wing" And more.

Are we focusing on the wrong threats while ignoring the ones growing right inside our own communities? Join Mike, Tim, and Seth as they dive deep into the biblical definition of the Antichrist, the manipulative power of fear, and how the modern church often aligns itself with worldly systems rather than the Kingdom of God. This episode moves beyond traditional labels to explore what it actually means to live in a cosmically contested space. In this conversation, the team unpacks the startling New Testament reality that antichrists are often plural and internal to the church, rather than a single external boogeyman. We discuss the recent tragic events in Iran and how nationalistic rhetoric often blinds us to the suffering of others. By looking at the life of Jesus through the lens of security versus threat, we explore why the church is so easily led by fear and how we can begin to resist the systemic powers of individualism, tribalism, and redemptive violence.

What if the way we've been taught to hustle isn't the way God intended us to live?In today's episode of the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I'm joined by returning guest and friend Erin Harrigan, who was previously on Episode 273 where we talked about redefining success and trusting God's timing. Erin is back to share about her brand new book, Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success with Jesus.So many of us live in a culture that tells us to work harder, move faster, and rely on ourselves to get ahead. But Erin reminds us that while God created us with ambition and purpose, He never intended for us to hustle the world's way.In this conversation we talk about:✨ The difference between pursuing success and navigating success with Jesus✨ Why hustle isn't the problem—but how we hustle matters✨ Learning to surrender control and let Jesus be the true captain of the ship✨ The struggle of self-sufficiency and trusting God instead of ourselves✨ Setting healthy boundaries in work and ministry✨ Finding harmony instead of “work-life balance”✨ Why abiding in Christ changes everything about how we lead, work, and liveIf you've ever felt the pressure to keep running, keep producing, and keep striving, this episode is a reminder that God never asked us to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders.Instead, He invites us to walk with Him, trust His direction, and allow Him to lead the way.You don't have to hustle harder to prove your worth.You simply need to stay connected to the One who already holds the plan.

Human Design, Voice & Visibility: How Your Design Shapes Your MessageIn this episode of Unjaded, Vickie Dickson pulls back the curtain on how her voice actually works according to Human Design.Instead of delivering a polished teaching or perfectly planned podcast episode, Vickie walks you through her own Human Design chart and explains why forcing consistency, content creation, and visibility often leads entrepreneurs away from their natural voice.If you've ever felt like the online business world expects you to show up in ways that feel draining or inauthentic, this episode offers a different perspective.Using her own design as an example, Vickie explores how intuition, mastery, lived experience, and energetic cycles shape the way she speaks, teaches, and creates content.She also shares what it means to be in an “in-between” season — a space where clarity hasn't fully arrived yet but transformation is happening beneath the surface.This episode is part reflection, part Human Design lesson, and part permission slip to trust the way your voice is designed to work.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy forcing consistency often backfires in content creationHow Human Design shapes the way your voice and message come throughThe connection between intuition, sacral response, and speaking your truthWhy authenticity is harder than the online world makes it soundHow energetic cycles influence when you create and shareWhy retreat and silence can be necessary parts of visibilityThe deeper personal growth that comes with entrepreneurshipHuman Design Elements DiscussedChannel 34–57 (Intuitive Power)Channel 48–16 (Talent & Mastery)Gate 8 — contribution and impactGate 56 — storytellingGate 31 — leadershipThe 2/4 profile and the need for retreatThis Episode Is For You IfYou struggle to stay “consistent” with content creationYou feel pressure to show up online in ways that drain youYou're curious how Human Design affects voice, messaging, and businessYou're navigating an in-between season in life or businessYou want to create content that actually feels like youMentioned in This EpisodeContent by DesignVickie's program that helps entrepreneurs understand how their Human Design shapes their voice, message, and content creation.

How do you turn trillions of user interactions into meaningful decisions without drowning in data? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Todd Olson, co-founder and CEO of Pendo, to talk about the future of product-led organizations and why AI is reshaping how software companies grow, build, and compete. Pendo tracks trillions of product usage events to help organizations understand how customers actually interact with their software. That level of data sounds powerful, but it also raises a challenge many teams face today. How do you turn massive data sets into clear signals that teams can act on without falling into analysis paralysis? Todd explains how Pendo approaches this problem by organizing product data around real user journeys, feature adoption, and areas where people drop off. Instead of leaving teams buried in dashboards, the goal is to surface insights that matter. Increasingly, AI is helping by acting as a kind of embedded analyst that highlights the patterns product teams should focus on. Our conversation also revisits the idea behind Todd's book, The Product-Led Organization. When it was published around the time of the pandemic, it argued that great products should do much of the heavy lifting traditionally done by sales or support teams. Looking back now, Todd believes the core idea remains intact. AI simply accelerates the model by allowing companies to experiment faster and scale product-driven experiences with far fewer people. But that shift is also creating tension in the software industry. We talk about the so-called reckoning in SaaS economics and the growing debate around whether AI will make traditional software companies obsolete. Todd offers a more measured perspective. While AI allows anyone to prototype software quickly, the companies that survive will still be the ones solving difficult problems, navigating compliance requirements, and building products that customers trust. Another theme we explore is geography and innovation. Pendo is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, far from the usual coastal tech hubs. Todd shares how building outside Silicon Valley has shaped the company's culture, talent strategy, and mindset. There are advantages to being close to the center of the AI boom, but there is also value in building away from the echo chamber. We also spend time unpacking the rise of AI-assisted development and the trend many people call "vibe coding." Todd believes AI will dramatically reshape product teams, but he also pushes back against the idea that humans will disappear from the development process. Engineers will still need to review code, teach AI systems best practices, and ensure security and reliability. One of the most interesting moments in our conversation comes near the end when Todd shares a belief that originality will become one of the most valuable assets in the age of AI. As automated content and automated code become easier to generate, he believes people will increasingly value craft, taste, and original thinking. So in a world where AI can generate almost anything with a prompt, the real question becomes far more human. What problems are actually worth solving? If you care about the future of software, product strategy, and how AI is reshaping the economics of building companies, this is a conversation that offers plenty to think about. And after listening, I would love to hear your perspective. As AI becomes embedded in every product and workflow, do you believe originality and craft will become the true differentiators in the software industry?

In this timely and important episode, Craig sits down with Lily Zheng, one of today's leading voices on workplace transformation, to tackle the challenges and evolution of DEI. Lily brings both research-backed frameworks and real-world pragmatism, reflecting on how shifting from DEI to FAIR offers a practical way through current backlash and confusion.Lily's refreshing candor provides a thought-provoking and valuable frame to the conversation. They don't shy from complexity, but treat hesitancy, fear, and failure as necessary parts of meaningful progress.The episode is filled with practical advice, including tying every initiative to a real business problem, focusing on behaviors not buzzwords, and the need for every leader to own the responsibility for inclusion. Technology's double-edged role is candidly discussed, warning leaders that AI will multiply both strengths and flaws.At its core, this episode asks: how do we actually do better? Lily urges leaders to focus on “atomic units” of behavioral change, reminding us that real progress is messy, ongoing, and built one intentional action at a time.What You'll Learn- The power and pitfalls of language in DEI work.- Navigating the politicization of inclusion.- Let data—not dogma—drive your priorities- Move beyond ‘admiring the problem': Replacing performative acts with real progress.- Redefining representation: Beyond the numbers.- Technology & AI: A double-edged sword.- The power of atomic units of change.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) - Introduction to Lily Zheng and the Origin of the Book(08:00) - Reframing DEI: Why Focus on Fairness?(14:41) – Lessons in Leadership: DEI Backlash(20:34) - From Performative to Problem-Solving DEI(25:15) - Systemic Change & Diversity Leadership(35:55) - Representation vs. Quotas and Building Trust(43:04) - Technology, AI & Fairness Risks(48:38) - FOFO: Fear of Finding Out and Organizational Reality(56:14) - The Atomic Unit: Driving Change Through BehaviorsKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Fairness, DEI, Inclusion, Equity, Representation, Organizational Change, Systemic Change, Workplace Culture, Diversity, Performative DEI, Accountability, Unconscious Bias Training, Artificial Intelligence, Politics, Cultural Transformation, CEO Success

For many young people, the nine-to-five job is no longer the only or preferred option. Flexible schedules, multiple income streams, and digital entrepreneurship are increasingly part of the career landscape. In China, this has fueled the rapid rise of new forms of employment, from delivery services to livestream commerce. As lawmakers and political advisers gather at the Two Sessions, the country is taking a closer look at how this new generation of workers is reshaping the labor market.

“This is a way to understand how the voice operates in all its parts – perceptually, physiologically, and acoustically -- so that we can learn to stop doing things that are unnecessary for a particular outcome. A lot of people get worried when they hear anything talking about muscles or working the voice or effort, that we're talking about doing it all all the time. Why do we do what we do in this profession, and how can we utilize some of this science- and evidence-based knowledge to help ourselves not eliminate the things we say but inform them?”Dr. Brian J.

It is so much easier to criticize a generation than it is to build one. In this powerful message, guest speaker Clay Scroggins challenges us to move from being critics to "constructors." Looking at the life of Solomon in 2 Chronicles 1, we discover that the greatest gift we can give the next generation isn't better circumstances—it's better capacity. If God gave you a "blank check" and asked what you wanted for the next generation, what would you say? Solomon didn't ask for wealth, fame, or protection; he asked for chokmah—the skill for living. Join us as we explore how to model submission, prioritize skill over status, and introduce the next generation to Jesus, the true and better King who gives wisdom generously to all.

On the next episode of Redefining Health, we'll be joined by Christopher Davis to dive into the fascinating topic of metabolic health—what it truly means and how practitioners can effectively discuss it with their patients. Metabolic health is deeply tied to mitochondrial function, the "powerhouses" of our cells that drive energy production. When mitochondrial health is compromised, it can lead to a range of issues, from poor energy levels to chronic diseases. Factors such as oxidative stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and environmental toxins all play a role in mitochondrial dysfunction. In this episode, we'll explore: What metabolic health really means and why it's essential for overall well-being. How practitioners can simplify the concept for patients and emphasize the importance of lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and stress management. The role of VO2 Max as a powerful yet underutilized tool for assessing cardiovascular and metabolic health. VO2 Max, which measures the body's ability to utilize oxygen during exercise, is one of the best indicators of mitochondrial and cardiovascular health. Despite its value, it's not used enough in clinical practice. We'll discuss why this metric matters and how it can be integrated into patient care to provide a more comprehensive picture of health.   Join us for this insightful conversation as we redefine what it means to achieve and maintain metabolic health.

This week I spoke with herbalist and writer Rachelle Robinett about her new book, Naturally, and some of my favorite ideas inside it: dopamine, novelty, primal motivation and strategies to regulate our nervous systems. We also talk about how the ways we distract ourselves are often attempts at a change in state and how knowing what type of state change we're craving can help us determine not only which herb to work with, but what the desire under the craving actually is. We get into her favorite herb, how she uses it as an alternative to alcohol, as well as how she's evolved within wellness culture and how she's redefining ambition now.   Show Notes / Resources / Mentions: Learn more about Rachelle Robinett on her website Follow Rachelle Robinett on IG @rachellerobinett RSVP Here to a free live event with Rachelle, Herb Club LA, and me on March 9th at 6pm.

This week, Wendy dives into the first specific topic of her "Critical Think Tank" - aging. Reflecting on why she started her journey eight years ago, Wendy addresses the frustrating "anti-aging" narrative that treats a natural life process like a failure, or even a horror movie. She explores the impossible standards placed on women; to have wisdom without wrinkles, and maturity without looking "old." The term "anti-aging" itself is absurd! If you're not aging, you're dead. This episode breaks down the fear-mongering and marketing noise that targets women after 40, encouraging listeners to separate cultural panic from their own biological reality. Wendy addresses the "aging comparison trap" fueled by social media and filtered highlight reels, reminding us that we don't owe the world the illusion of youth or perfection. This is a call to view aging not as something to be fixed, but as the privilege of staying. It is an invitation to stop fighting the clock and start living through your own truth, reclaiming the power that comes with every year you've survived and learned.

In this episode of You Are Not Broken, I sit down with Susan Guidi — and this conversation is such a beautiful reminder that it is never too late to become who you were meant to be. Susan shares her journey growing up in a Cuban Catholic family, where cultural expectations around marriage, sexuality, and identity were very clear — and very rigid. We talk about how those early narratives shape the way we see ourselves as women… and how hard it can be to untangle them later in life. After a difficult divorce, Susan didn't shrink. She expanded. She reinvented herself through stand-up comedy (yes, really) and eventually stepped onto a bodybuilding stage — proving that transformation isn't reserved for the young. It's reserved for the brave. We talk about: How culture influences the stories we believe about ourselves Why comedy can be deeply therapeutic What it takes to compete in bodybuilding later in life The power of community support during major life transitions Why mindset matters more than motivation The role of nutrition in strength and longevity Redefining your identity after divorce, career shifts, or midlife change Why sharing your story can liberate someone else This episode is about empowerment — not the fluffy kind, but the earned kind. The kind that comes from taking control of your health, your body, your voice, and your future. Susan is living proof that you are not too old, too late, too divorced, too inexperienced, or too anything. You are just in the middle of becoming. If this conversation resonates, share it with a woman who needs to hear that reinvention is still on the table. Because it is.

Is Your Supply Chain Your Biggest Competitive Advantage? We often hear about "the art of the merchant," but rarely do we discuss the unsexy mechanics that actually make a brand profitable. In this RETHINK Retail sit-down, Kimberly Lee Minor, CEO of WOCRA, catches up with her longtime friend and fellow retail expert Liza Amlani. From starting on the shop floor at 13 to consulting for the world's largest brands, Liza has seen firsthand how "broken" the traditional fashion lifecycle can be and shares why CEOs need to spend less time in the boardroom and more time on the shop floor to bridge the gap between strategy and execution. The team explores how elevating materials teams from "service providers" to "strategic partners" can drastically reduce physical sampling and overdevelopment. By shifting the focus to digital material libraries and smarter assortment building, brands can actually do more with less, gaining the creative space needed to innovate. Stop letting inefficient cycles drain your profit. Tune in to discover why the future of fashion is built on smarter processes, not just faster trends.

How confident are you that your business could recover from a cyberattack, cloud outage, or infrastructure failure in minutes rather than hours or even days? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore the changing nature of enterprise resilience with Joseph D'Angelo and Cassie Stanek from InfoScale, now part of Cloud Software Group. Our conversation looks at why many organizations still rely on backup and replication strategies that were designed for a very different era of IT. In a world of hybrid infrastructure, multi-cloud deployments, and increasingly complex application stacks, those traditional tools often protect the data but often fail to restore the business services that depend on it. My guests shares how InfoScale approaches resilience from the application layer outward. Instead of focusing on individual components such as storage or infrastructure, the platform looks at the relationships between applications, services, and data so entire systems can be orchestrated and recovered as a coordinated unit. That distinction becomes especially important during a ransomware attack or cloud outage, where restoring a single database rarely brings a digital business back online. We also discuss how growing regulatory pressure is changing the conversation. Enterprises are no longer expected to simply claim they have disaster recovery processes in place. Increasingly they must demonstrate, test, and prove that recovery capabilities actually work. Cassie explains how controlled "fire drill" rehearsals allow organizations to validate recovery plans without disrupting production systems, creating defensible proof that systems can be restored when it matters most. We also look ahead to the next phase of resilience, where environments will increasingly diagnose, adapt, and respond to disruptions in real time. Instead of reacting after an outage occurs, operational resilience will rely on predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and automated response capabilities that allow systems to self-correct before users ever notice a problem. Throughout our discussion, one theme becomes clear. IT resilience is no longer just an infrastructure conversation. It has become a business continuity strategy that directly affects revenue, customer trust, and competitive advantage. As organizations depend more heavily on digital services, the ability to recover quickly from disruption is becoming one of the defining capabilities of modern enterprise technology. So after listening, I'm curious about your perspective. Do you think most organizations are truly prepared for operational resilience in a multi-cloud world, or are many still relying on backup strategies that were built for a much simpler IT environment?

In this episode of the Future of Fitness Podcast, host Eric Malzone sits down with Chris Mirabile, founder of NOVOS, to unpack the science and business of longevity. Chris shares how surviving a brain tumor as a teenager reshaped his perspective on health and pushed him to study aging at a biological level. The conversation dives into what longevity actually means beyond buzzwords—how it differs from simply living a healthy lifestyle, why healthspan matters just as much as lifespan, and the science behind targeting the biological "hallmarks of aging." Chris also explains why some popular trends like hormone optimization and peptides are more complex than they seem, and how NOVOS approaches longevity by addressing the root cellular mechanisms that drive aging, disease risk, and long-term performance. Key Takeaways:

Our hosts discuss the individual nature of the  term "recovery." They look at recovery as an evolution involving growth,  change, finding meaning, and finding ease. They say the best plan is to  respect people's processes, plant seeds when you can, and stay  interested in how your loved one defines the process for themselves.The support group that Kayla facilitates is now offered on a sliding scale.Wednesdays at 6:30pm ETEmail kaylacraftgroup@gmail.com to join or learn more(Cost should not be a barrier—please reach out if you're interested)Allies in Recovery's member site is currently "on pause". ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. During this time, we have taken our entire eLearning program out from behind the paywall—the entire library of learning videos is currently available on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

What if the clarity you've been searching for isn't in your mindset—but in your heart? In this conversation with Kimberly Snyder, we explore heart coherence, emotional regulation, intuition, and why so many high-achieving women are stuck in the “propelled heart” phase of constant doing. Kimberly shares the five stages of the heart + how stress, ambition, trauma, and ego keep us disconnected from our true power. We talk about nervous system rewiring, hormonal balance, and how dropping from the mind into the heart can change your relationships, health, and magnetism. From manifesting her husband in six weeks to building a wellness empire while raising two kids, Kimberly reveals how living from the heart creates ease, intuition, and alignment. If you're tired of forcing, hustling, or overthinking your next move—this episode will feel like a reset. We also talk about: The five heart stages: dark heart, propelled heart, steady heart, devoted heart, and clear heart Heart coherence and its impact on cortisol, DHEA, hormones, and longevity Why “manifestation culture” often keeps women in the mind instead of the heart Healing grief + how tragedy can open your heart Ego vs. authenticity in relationships The difference between emotional reactivity + true heart connection Nervous system regulation through heart-focused breathing Intuition vs. overthinking How partnership accelerates spiritual growth Magnetism, energy fields, and how your heart affects others Redefining success beyond hustle + achievement Why ordinary moments can feel extraordinary when you're embodied Resources: Website: mysolluna.com  Book: The Hidden Power of the Five Hearts: Empower Your Thoughts, Balance Your Emotions, and Unlock Vibrant Health and Abundance Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ka'Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREWhat happens when you build the business you thought you wanted… only to realize you've started to hate it? In this honest and eye-opening conversation, Ruma Mazumdar, founder of Key Esquire, shares the moment she almost walked away from the firm she worked so hard to build. After years of growth, hiring, and increasing revenue, Ruma discovered a shocking reality: despite the success on paper, her firm was only producing 2% profit — and she was more burned out than ever.Instead of quitting, Ruma stepped back and examined what had gone wrong. She realized that rapid growth, over-hiring, and a lack of clear systems had created a business that no longer aligned with the life she wanted. Through difficult decisions — including restructuring her team, returning to core operations, and reassessing pricing — she rebuilt her firm with a leaner structure and a stronger focus on profitability, clarity, and intentional leadership.Ruma also shares the deeper mindset shifts that come with entrepreneurship: separating self-worth from revenue, redefining what “scaling” really means, and learning that becoming a CEO is as much a personal evolution as it is a business strategy. Her story is a powerful reminder that success isn't just about growing bigger — it's about building a business you actually want to run.1:08 The biggest risk founders don't talk about2:16 The reality of her four-year business growth4:41 Discovering the firm was only 2% profitable6:04 Making difficult decisions and restructuring the team7:10 Building a lean business instead of over-hiring8:21 Why knowing your numbers changes everything9:26 Auditing time and energy as a CEO10:28 Raising fees and finding the right pricing12:49 Redefining what it means to be a CEO14:50 The messy middle of entrepreneurshipTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Ruma:Website  InstagramFacebook LinkedIn TikTok 

A Democrat seminary student running for Senate sparks outrage after claiming the Bible supports abortion, gender ideology, and a “nonbinary God.” The conversation digs into controversial theological claims, the political strategy behind redefining faith, and the growing battle over religion in American politics. Plus, concerns about the Texas Senate race and whether internal GOP fights could open the door for a Democrat upset. Episode Summary A Democrat Senate candidate with seminary training is making waves after promoting controversial interpretations of Christianity during podcast appearances. His claims include arguments that the Bible supports abortion rights, that God is “nonbinary,” and that gender ideology aligns with Christian teaching. Critics say the arguments distort biblical texts and represent a political strategy to appeal to both progressive voters and religious moderates. The discussion examines the broader cultural debate over faith, gender ideology, and whether political movements are attempting to reshape religious institutions to align with modern progressive views. The episode also touches on national security concerns regarding border policy and reports of suspected terrorists entering the U.S., while contrasting that with investigations into religious groups. Finally, the conversation turns to the Texas Senate race, where a heated Republican primary between major figures could fracture conservative voters. Hosts warn that an intense GOP fight combined with strong Democratic turnout could create a surprising electoral opening. Key Topics Controversial biblical interpretations in modern politics Debate over abortion and Christianity Claims about “nonbinary” theology and gender ideology Political strategy targeting religious voters FBI scrutiny of religious groups National security concerns and border policy Texas Senate race and GOP primary tensions

What does it really mean to be a neurodivergent freelancer in photography? In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we talk openly about ADHD, autism, burnout, structure, creativity, and building a freelance career that works with your brain - not against it. If traditional advice has never worked for you, this conversation might finally make sense. What We Talk About in This Episode This interview covers the real-world realities of neurodivergent freelancing, including: Managing energy, attention, and overwhelm Creating structure without rigidity Navigating client communication and expectations Redefining success outside traditional productivity models Letting go of comparison and "shoulds" Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, this conversation encourages photographers to design careers that reflect how they actually function. Redefining Professionalism Being professional doesn't mean masking. It doesn't mean burning yourself out to meet arbitrary standards. And it doesn't mean copying how others work. For neurodivergent photographers, sustainability often comes from self-awareness, boundaries, and permission to work differently. This episode is a reminder that there is no single way to be a "real" photographer - or a successful freelancer.

Stress. We all feel it in some way…big or small. And it's not that stress is actually bad. It's that under-recovered stress is potentially deadly. This week on the IMPACT SHOW, we're talking about something every single one of us deals with — stress. And not just surface-level stress. I'm talking about the kind that builds quietly over time. The kind that high performers carry. The kind that can cost you your health if you're not careful. My guest today is Derek Clark — performance coach, speaker, and founder of the Stress Recovery Game Plan. Derek's story will stop you in your tracks. In his 40s, after years of operating at a high level, he was diagnosed with high blood pressure… which led to open-heart surgery… which was followed by a cancer diagnosis. This isn't theory. This is lived experience. And what he discovered is something we ALL need to hear — stress isn't the enemy. Under-recovered stress is. This episode will challenge you, wake you up, and equip you with tools you can use immediately. In this episode, you'll hear and learn: The difference between strategic, tactical, and responsive stress — and which one is silently draining most high performers. Why "chronic stress" is really under-recovered stress — and how to start correcting it. Derek's powerful 4-step Stress Recovery Game Plan to regain balance daily. Why mindset and sleep are the two most important levers you can pull starting tonight. Practical strategies to improve recovery — from HRV awareness to breathwork to building a better pre-sleep routine. The "Flip the Coin" mindset tool to reframe setbacks and turn adversity into fuel. Some of the questions inside this week's IMPACT SHOW include: You've used the term "stress-oholic." What do you mean by that—and how did you realize you were living that way? Most people think stress is the enemy. You say stress is misunderstood. What do most of us get wrong about stress? How do you personally define stress today, and how is that definition different than the typical "stress is bad" narrative? Can you walk us through what stress is actually doing in the body—physiologically—when someone feels anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in overdrive? At what point did you realize you didn't need more stress management… you needed a recovery strategy? Can you break down the 4 steps of the Stress Recovery Game Plan™ and what each step helps people do? What are some of the 7 recovery tactics inside the Stress Recovery Game Plan, and which ones tend to give people the fastest results early on? If someone is in a season of life where stress feels nonstop—work, family, health—what's the first "small win" you'd recommend to start regaining control? What do you say to high performers who feel like recovery is "lazy," "soft," or something they'll do later when life slows down? Here's the bottom line: you don't need less ambition. You need better recovery. If you're building something big — a business, a career, a family, a legacy — stress will be part of the equation. The key is learning how to balance it so it builds you instead of breaking you. If this episode hits home, share it with someone who needs it. Post it to your story. Text it to your business partner or spouse. And if you're serious about elevating your health and performance this year, take one action from this episode and implement it TODAY. I hope you enjoyed today's episode.  IG: @ToddDurkin @derek.r.clark FB: @ToddDurkinFQ10 #StressRecoveryGamePlan #Ep468 Derek Clark is a stress recovery expert and speaker who helps individuals regain balance, reduce health vulnerabilities, and enhance day-to-day performance. He draws on his own experience navigating two rare health conditions, challenges he attributes in part to the cumulative effects of chronic, unbalanced stress. His story of overcoming adversity led to a complete reevaluation of how we respond to stress and how we recover from it. Derek is a licensed athletic trainer and master sports performance coach with over 25 years of experience working with athletes and high performers. He is the founder of Grizz Athletic Performance and Recovery, a company focused on physical and mental development, injury rehabilitation, and sustainable recovery strategies. He also serves as the Director of Athletic Performance and Wellness at the Greater Pittsburgh Sports Complex, where he applies the same principles of stress recovery, performance enhancement, and holistic well-being with athletes, professionals, and teams. Through his Stress Recovery Game Plan™, a four-step daily framework supported by seven key tactics, Derek empowers individuals to redefine their relationship with stress and build a resilient internal environment—mentally, emotionally, and physically. His approach speaks to the everyday challenges faced by employees and leaders alike, helping them feel, perform, and live better. He believes everyone is an athlete in the game of life—and his mission is to help them recover like one.
