One of the biggest mindset traps in network marketing isn't strategy.     It's the way success slowly gets redefined… until women who are making real progress start to feel like they're failing.     Most women start their business with a simple goal. Cover their products. Make a few hundred dollars a month. Maybe earn $1,000 to create a little breathing room.     But over time, success slowly becomes synonymous with rank.     And when that happens, women who are making real income and building something meaningful can start to feel like they're falling behind.     In this episode, Melissa and Rebekah unpack how success gets redefined in this industry, why comparison quietly steals momentum, and why understanding the long-game math of residual income changes everything.     Because success isn't just the next rank.     Success is building something month after month after month.     If you've been feeling discouraged or like you should be further along, this conversation will help you recalibrate how you measure progress and why staying in the game matters.     ⸻     Want help creating more momentum in your business?     Join Melissa for Lead Flow Lab on March 16 at 5 PM CST, where she will walk through the exact framework she uses to generate leads and create consistent conversations in your business.

If holding onto outcomes with a tight grip is starting to affect your day to day mood, motivation and self-perception, this is the episode for you. In this episode, I explore the topic of outcome independence and the spiritual law of detachment. We break down how identity and sense of sense can get intertwined with goals and outcomes in career, health and relationships. Leading you to have a positive self perception when specific outcomes are going well and feeling down and bad about yourself when they are not. We discuss how this cycle can keep you feeling stuck in self doubt, feelings of failure, low self esteem, overthinking and exhaustion. I share the mindset shifts I have been utilizing to practice detachment of identity from outcomes as well as real life applications for cultivating more confidence, safety, worth within.

“For most of our lives, women have been told that if we look a certain way and behave a certain way, the world will unfold for us. Only to reach midlife and find that, for most of us, it isn't true, and the booby prize is that apparently we now have to spend yet more time and money obsessing about how to claw our way back to a place of acceptance that never existed.”   In this episode I speak to Poorna Bell — award-winning journalist, author, and former UK executive editor for HuffPost — to talk about her new book She Wanted More, the cultural shift happening among women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, and why the conversation around midlife needs to change. Poorna describes the atmosphere before her 40th birthday as apocalyptic, with friends talking about it like the end of the world, and society treating 40 as a cliff edge. Surprisingly, to her, the world didn't end. In fact, things got better. Over the five years since, she's watched her life move on an upwards trajectory, something society never told her was possible. She Wanted More is her response to that gap between what women are told about midlife and what actually happens when you're in it. Poorna noticed women all around her in their 40s, 50s, and 60s making fundamentally different choices than previous generations. Whether that was questioning relationships, redefining career success, opting out of motherhood, or choosing to remain single after divorce. The traditional markers of success (money, power, nuclear family structures) are being interrogated. Women are asking: What do I actually want? What is purpose for me? This isn't a book prescribing one way to live. It's about creating agency — doing an inventory of your life and asking yourself: What do I need to feel power and intention in my own life? Poorna advocates for reclaiming the word ‘climacteric' because it better captures the magnitude of what's happening in the menopause transition. It sounds dramatic because it is dramatic. She describes her own symptoms as "giant stingrays carrying dread, despair, and fear" — a visceral image that will resonate with anyone who's experienced perimenopausal anxiety and that pervasive sense of doom. Poorna surveyed around 1,000 women for the book, and one surprising finding was the fear younger women now have about perimenopause. Media coverage has skewed heavily negative, and many women in their 20s and 30s are genuinely terrified. Poorna's response? We need balance. Yes, some women have brutal experiences. But many don't. The goal isn't to sugarcoat it or pretend it's all wonderful, but to give women the full picture so they can prepare without catastrophizing. Poorna quotes Ashley Kelch in the book: "The most disruptive act in midlife isn't leaving your job or your relationship. It's leaving behind the version of yourself that you created in order to survive." For Poorna, that meant shedding the version of herself that was palatable, agreeable, and constantly performing. She describes younger Poorna as someone who would say yes to everything, who prioritized being liked over being authentic. Midlife gave her permission to stop. She's learned to listen to her body's signals, to say no without guilt, to recognize when she simply doesn't have the spoons for something, and to honour that without shame. The global anti-aging market is set to be worth $80 billion in four years. Poorna calls it "the same shit, repackaged" — a relentless marketing machine selling women the idea that looking young is the only way to remain valuable. And yet, when she asked the women she surveyed what getting older meant to them, not one mentioned looks. They talked about freedom, contentment, peacefulness, having options. So how do we opt out of this pressure? Poorna's advice: stop engaging with the narratives that don't serve you. Unfollow accounts that make you feel inadequate. Surround yourself with images and stories of women who are thriving in midlife on their own terms. Representation matters — and we have more control over our media diet than we think. One of the most moving parts of the book is Poorna's conversation with her own mother about her early life before becoming a mother. Her mother had a place at university. Everything was paid for. But her grandfather wouldn't let her go because it would have meant living with a family he didn't approve of. Later, when her mother's employer suggested she take auditor exams, her father dismissed it: "You're going back to India to get married soon, so there's no point." Listening to her mother recount this, Poorna felt rage. She could see the brightness, the potential, the intelligence — and the loss of what could have been. That conversation made Poorna softer and more compassionate with her mother. She now asks anyone whose mother is still around: have that conversation. Ask about their life before you were on the scene. Their answers won't be defensive because they're not connected to you as a person — they're just telling you their story. It's precious. Key Takeaways: Midlife isn't a cliff edge. Society lies. Your 40s, 50s, and 60s can be an upwards trajectory if you let them be. Question the definitions of success you've inherited. Money and power aren't the only measures. What does success mean to you? Let go of the version of yourself you created to survive. Midlife is permission to stop performing and start being. Listen to your body's signals. If you don't have the spoons, you don't have the spoons. Honour that. Opt out of anti-aging narratives that don't serve you. Curate your media diet. Surround yourself with images of women thriving in midlife. Talk to your mother about her early life. If she's still around and you have a relationship with her, ask about who she was before you existed. You'll learn something profound.   Instagram, Threads, and TikTok: @poornabell She Wanted More https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/she-wanted-more-reimagine-your-future-and-live-by-your-rules-poorna-bell/2eea99431a408200?ean=9781785122835&next=t&next=t&affiliate=11357  Also check out her previous book Stronger — pairs beautifully with this one Ways to work & connect with me: Coaching 1-1 http://www.thetripleshift.org   Menopause in the workplace support at www.managingthemenopause.com  Subscribe to my newsletter at https://middlingalong.substack.com/   Connect with me at https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmacthomas/

Lennie shares his journey from building and exiting a multi-million-dollar tech company to walking away from alignment-breaking systems, even when it meant losing friends, investors, and financial certainty. Together, they explore the tension between external corruption and internal responsibility, why true freedom is an inside job, and how surrender, frequency, and values shape the reality we live in. Lennie is the founder of Place of Elms, a luxury fashion brand built on consciousness, ethics, and integrity, challenging an industry he believes has lost its soul. This episode dives deep into money, power, fear, death, business, and the courage required to live in alignment — even when it costs you everything. This conversation will challenge how you see success, freedom, and what it truly means to win.   Episode Highlights: awakening vs indoctrination, integrity over comfort, losing friends for truth, surrender and abundance, internal sovereignty, frequency and wealth, corruption of institutions, conscious capitalism, fashion and ethics, detaching from money, building aligned businesses, redefining success   Takeaways:   Awakening requires sacrificing comfort and approval Integrity means aligning beliefs, words, and actions Sovereignty is built internally before externally Money responds to detachment, not obsession Frequency shapes opportunities and outcomes You cannot lose what was never aligned Conscious choices compound into freedom   If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

The music industry can open doors quickly. From being signed by Michael Jackson and later Madonna's Maverick label as part of the boy band No Authority, Ricky Rebel experienced early fame at the highest level. But what happens when the industry shifts? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with singer, songwriter, producer, and media personality Ricky Rebel for a grounded conversation about reinvention, creative control, and redefining success beyond external validation. From touring during the height of the pop era to navigating the disruption of the music industry after 9/11 and digital piracy, Ricky shares how those turning points forced him to step into ownership — producing his own music, building his own brand, and mentoring the next generation of artists. Together, Jennifer and Ricky explore identity, resilience, internal validation, releasing perfectionism, and why success today looks less like fame — and more like freedom. This episode isn't about celebrity. It's about reinvention, growth, and choosing to own your voice when the path changes. WHAT YOU'LL LEAARN IN THIS EPISODE What it really feels like to be signed by major industry icons at a young age — and the identity shift that follows How external validation can shape (and distort) your sense of self Why the collapse of the music industry forced reinvention — and what that teaches about resilience The mindset shift required to move from group success to building a personal brand How perfectionism and overthinking quietly block creativity Why self-validation matters more than applause What it means to “become the brand” without losing authenticity How redefining success as joy and fulfillment changes everything Why evolution isn't optional — it's necessary ABOUT RICKY REBEL Ricky Rebel is a singer, songwriter, producer, and media personality whose career spans music, performance, and television. He first gained national recognition as a member of the boy band No Authority, signed by Michael Jackson and later Madonna's Maverick label. Following major shifts in the music industry, Ricky reinvented himself as an independent artist — producing his own music, earning Billboard chart recognition, expanding into acting and hosting, and recently being inducted into the American Entertainment Hall of Fame. He continues to develop new music, including his upcoming EDM album Filling the Void, while mentoring aspiring artists.

Ever feel like you're failing because life didn't go according to plan? This Sunday, we're looking at Joseph in Genesis 39; a guy sold into slavery, falsely accused, and forgotten in prison. But the text keeps saying one thing: “The Lord was with him.” Not “The Lord fixed everything,” just “He was there.” We'll talk about how real success isn't about rising to the top, but staying faithful when you're stuck at the bottom. How do you keep going when no one sees you? When your purpose feels delayed? We'll walk through how God shapes us in the hidden years, and why faithfulness in the dark still counts. If you're in a season of waiting, disappointment, or just trying to do the right thing when it costs you — this one's for you.

Kate Peterson, artist and author, shares her journey from chasing Instagram validation to defining success on her own terms. After spending 10 months in Greece, she realized that achievement itself was hollow—what mattered was building a life where small joys like pastries and coffee became the reward, not just checkpoints on a path to something else. Peterson explores how growing up across cultures shaped her identity, why social media creates superficial positive reinforcement loops, and how artists must navigate the spectrum between creating what they want and creating what pays. The conversation challenges Western individualism, explores Greek concepts of joy and togetherness, and questions whether the pursuit of an extraordinary life undermines the value of a perfectly good ordinary one. This is about defining the good life for yourself, not inheriting someone else's blueprint. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the podcast, Obi sits down with sports psychologist and founder of Utah Sports Psych, Jon Osborn, for a real conversation about confidence, failure, and what success actually means.Jon shares how a career-ending knee injury at 16 led him into the world of sports psychology, and how that moment shaped the work he now does with athletes at every level — from youth programs to collegiate teams and professional organizations. He breaks down what it really looks like to “get out of your head,” why fear of failure shows up so early in athletes, and how confidence isn't a feeling — it's a habit built through daily consistency.The conversation goes deeper as Obi opens up about tearing his ACL, restarting his rookie season overseas, getting cut in Italy, and redefining success at every stage of his career. They unpack roles, resilience, arguing with coaches, social media comparison, and why being a great teammate might be the fastest way to unlock your own game.This episode isn't just about mental toughness. It's about clarity. It's about responsibility. It's about understanding that success changes depending on the season you're in.And maybe most importantly — it's about remembering that even at the highest level… those guys cry too.Make sure to follow us.

Sometimes life looks “right” on paper—but something inside quietly says, not anymore. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore what it takes to listen to that inner tug without panic, and how to choose meaning over momentum. This conversation is for anyone at a crossroads—especially later in life—wondering if it's too risky to change direction. Diane shares how she left a successful, technical career and stepped into service with grieving families, discovering that fulfillment isn't a title… it's alignment. About the Guest: Diane Gansauer is a former nonprofit and government professional who made a major life shift toward service and storytelling. She's the author of Waypoints: From 400 Farewells and 3,000 Miles, inspired by memorial-life interviews and her long-distance trek from Mexico to Canada. Episode Chapter: 00:06:00 — When success looks fine, but your spirit disagrees 00:08:25 — The early creative tug Diane never fully lost 00:10:20 — “Small-p politics” and when the joy leaves the work 00:14:45 — Redefining success beyond income and resumes 00:18:10 — Fear of the unknown: why we silence the inner voice 00:19:33 — Feeling embraced after the leap into service 00:27:10 — 400 farewells, 3,000 miles, and the overlap of lessons Key Takeaways: If the “joy leaves,” don't ignore it—treat it as honest data, not failure. Success defined by others can look stable while slowly draining your inner life. Courage often grows after the first step, not before it. Service becomes sustainable when it matches both your heart and your skills. Start small: test one act of service and notice what feels quietly true.

Henry Drummond once wrote, “To become like Christ is the only thing in the world worth caring for…before which every ambition of man is folly and all lower achievement vain.” Those words cut straight to the heart of how Scripture defines success. In a culture that measures achievement by accumulation and applause, Jesus offers a very different scoreboard—one centered not on what we gain, but on who we become. The Success Story We've Been Taught It's easy to believe that if we could just reach a little higher, earn a little more, or move a little faster, we'd finally arrive. We see this impulse at the very beginning of Scripture. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve weren't lacking anything, yet they believed something better was being held back (Genesis 3). At the Tower of Babel, humanity declared, “Let us make a name for ourselves” (Genesis 11:4). Success, in their minds, meant defining greatness on their own terms. That same instinct shapes us today. We measure success by paychecks and promotions, by titles, trophies, and the size of our homes or portfolios. And in a world that equates success with accumulation, it's hard not to wonder: Am I successful yet? Will more finally be enough? Jesus' Warning About the Illusion of More Jesus speaks directly into that tension in Luke 12:15: “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” He then tells the parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:16–21). A man experiences an abundant harvest and decides to tear down his barns to build bigger ones. He reassures himself: “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.” On the surface, it sounds like success. He planned ahead. He saved. He prepared. But Jesus calls him a fool. Listen to the language: my barns, my grain, my goods, my soul. There's no gratitude, no dependence on God, no concern for others. His definition of success was accumulation, and his confidence rested entirely in what he had stored up. God's response is sobering: “This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?” (Luke 12:20) Jesus concludes, “So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God” (Luke 12:21). The story is meant to shake us awake. It exposes how easily we confuse preparation with control and wisdom with self-reliance. God isn't measuring success by what we store—He's measuring it by what we surrender. A New Definition of Success The apostle Paul understood this well. By every cultural standard of his day, Paul had succeeded. Yet he wrote: “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8). Paul didn't lower the bar for success—he replaced it. Scripture tells us God's goal for our lives plainly: “For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son” (Romans 8:29). That's the metric. Not income. Not influence. Not recognition. Christlikeness. So it's worth asking: What scoreboard are you watching right now? Whose applause are you chasing? If your goals are rooted in impressing others or securing more for yourself, satisfaction will always feel just out of reach. But if your goals are rooted in becoming more like Christ, you'll discover a kind of success that cannot be taken away. Jesus invites us to measure progress differently. Instead of asking, “Did I win today?” we can ask, “Did I look a little more like Jesus today?” In God's economy: Success is measured by obedience, not accumulation. By faithfulness, not fame. By surrender, not status. And God delights in what is done faithfully—even when no one else sees. Jesus puts it plainly: “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?” (Matthew 16:26) Real success isn't what you gain. It's who you become in Christ.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: Should we tithe on our business's gross revenue, or just on the salary we actually pay ourselves? I have a 19-year-old niece and would like to contribute the first $1,000 to an IRA to help her start learning about budgeting and financial responsibility. Should I connect with a Certified Kingdom Advisor, or simply open an account through a company like Fidelity or Nationwide? My husband had a TIAA account from his time as an adjunct professor. Since I'm 76, I'm required to take distributions each year. I'd prefer to give that money to my son so it can remain invested and continue growing. Is that possible? My wife and I are both in our 70s and trying to determine how to divide our estate among our three children, our new church, and a few ministries we support. I know every situation is unique, but are there guidelines or resources to help us think through percentage allocations wisely? I'd like to lower my mortgage payment. I owe $89,000 at 3.5%, and my monthly payment is $1,254. I have cash available to apply toward the principal. If I make a lump-sum principal payment, will that reduce my monthly payment?

"Sometimes we think one thing is the goal, but as we start moving through it, it shifts and pivots. The goal might stay the same—but the how can change."   In this episode, we dive into one of the most powerful (and often uncomfortable) parts of entrepreneurship: pivoting. Whether you're evolving your services, redefining success, or quietly questioning whether the path you're on still fits, this conversation is a reminder that change isn't failure—it's growth.   Here's a glance at this episode…

Executive leader and transformation strategist Victoria Pelletier joins me to talk about what happens when success stops feeling like success — and why growth requires stepping into discomfort intentionally.Most career narratives celebrate upward mobility, titles, and financial wins. This episode looks underneath that surface. Victoria and I unpack the transition from chasing validation and status to building a life anchored in meaning, resilience, and conscious choice.Victoria shares how a traumatic childhood, adoption, and early exposure to scarcity drove her relentless pursuit of achievement. Becoming an executive at 24, climbing the corporate ladder, accumulating status and material markers of success — all of it was within her control. And all of it was tied to external validation.Then life intervened.Motherhood shifted priorities. Loss reshaped perspective. Reflection redefined what mattered.From there, our conversation expands into resilience, self-awareness, and the uncomfortable but necessary process of recalibrating identity. We talk about bankruptcy, layoffs, corporate politics, performative leadership, toxic top performers, and why discomfort — when processed deliberately — becomes a catalyst instead of a crisis.This isn't a motivational episode about “pushing through.”It's a conversation about processing adversity, choosing discomfort strategically, and designing growth rather than defaulting to reaction.The lesson isn't to reject ambition.It's to anchor it in alignment rather than approval.TL;DR* External validation can masquerade as success.* Trauma often fuels achievement — but doesn't define fulfillment.* Resilience isn't brute force; it requires reflection and processing.* Discomfort is where growth happens — if approached consciously.* Surround yourself with people who challenge without destabilizing.* Toxic top performers erode culture, even if they hit numbers.* Performative leadership creates long-term organizational decay.* Real reinvention begins when identity shifts, not just strategy.Memorable Lines* “Everything you've ever wanted lives on the other side of fear.”* “Resilience isn't shouldering everything — it's processing it.”* “Discomfort is the price of clarity.”* “Validation can look like success — until it doesn't.”* “If you want growth, step into the room that scares you.”GuestVictoria Pelletier — Executive leader and transformation strategistSpecializing in the intersection of human performance, leadership, and technology-driven transformation. Known for candid conversations around resilience, culture, and creating environments where people actually thrive.

259 - I'm back! After taking a break from the podcast, I've had space to reflect, recalibrate, and realign and this episode feels like the perfect conversation to return with. The previous episode was about becoming the CEO of your life, this one is about something even deeper. It's about the shift from living an impressive life… to living a meaningful one. Because here's what I've seen over and over...especially with high-achieving women and moms: You can build something that looks beautiful on the outside. You can check the boxes. You can carry it all well. You can be admired. You can be capable. And still feel like something is missing. There comes a moment when you realize: “I don't just want to be impressive. I want my life to feel meaningful.” This episode is about that moment. It's about redefining success. It's about choosing fulfillment over performance. It's about creating a life that feels aligned on the inside — not just validated on the outside. We talk about: • Why impressive often feels heavy • How achievement can quietly disconnect you from yourself • The difference between external validation and internal alignment • What meaningful living actually looks like in everyday life • How to shift your energy, priorities, and pace • Why stepping back (like I did) can sometimes be the most aligned move you make This isn't about abandoning ambition. It's about redefining it. It's about asking: What actually matters? What feels true? What would bring peace instead of pressure? If you're a high-achieving woman who has built a lot… but is craving more ease, more clarity, and more depth — this episode will meet you exactly where you are. And if you've been feeling the quiet nudge that something needs to shift… this is your permission to listen to it. You don't need to impress. You get to be intentional. You get to choose meaningful.

Send a textWhat happens when a successful career no longer fits who you are?In this episode of Joey Pinz Conversations, Joey sits down with Casey Berman, a former attorney who walked away from the legal world to build a values-aligned life—and now helps others do the same without blowing everything up.Casey shares the hidden pressures inside the legal profession, from burnout and billable-hour stress to identity traps that keep high performers stuck in the wrong room. Together, they unpack how transferable skills often go unseen, why “following your passion” can be misleading, and how clarity comes from understanding what you're actually good at.The conversation also goes deeper—touching on fear, imposter syndrome, parenting, health wake-up calls, AI's role in career transitions, and even the idea of “the Matrix” as a metaphor for modern identity. Casey offers practical, grounded frameworks for assessing strengths, making intentional shifts, and designing a life that supports both impact and well-being.If you've ever felt successful on paper but misaligned inside, this episode will challenge how you define success—and help you see new options hiding in plain sight. 

Community is being redefined at a moment when burnout, isolation, and constant productivity are leaving many women disconnected from themselves and each other. In this episode, Kara Duffy sits down with Porsha Ellis, CEO of Let It Break, to explore why women are craving deeper, more intentional spaces, and how community can become a catalyst for personal growth, wellness, and meaningful change. Porsha shares her journey from building creative agencies to leading a women-centered community rooted in self-awareness, service, and care. Together, they unpack the pressure to “do it all,” the importance of slowing down, redefining success beyond titles, and why giving back through mentorship, service, and organizations like Compton Girls Club, can shift how we show up in our lives and leadership. This conversation examines what it means to break old patterns, reconnect with purpose, and build communities that support the whole woman. 00:00 Introduction to the Guest: Porsha Ellis 01:02 Porsha's Background, Career & Where She's Based 02:18 What Is Let It Break?

We turned the conversation over to you and asked one powerful question: In what ways do you struggle with comparison? The overwhelming response was the realization that comparison shows up far more often than we think, especially around money, careers, bodies, relationships, and even our kids.

From navigating career shifts and body image to friendships, marriage, and parenting, this episode is a reminder that you are not behind, broken, or doing life wrong. You are simply living your own version of it.In this episode, we talk about:The sneaky ways comparison shows up, especially the thought of “What am I doing wrong and how can everyone else afford this?”Why social media hides financial stress, marriage struggles, and real life challenges.How different values and priorities shape what people choose to spend money and energy on.Career comparison and promotions, including Abby's experience leaving the corporate world and redefining fulfillment.Why your job might not be the problem and how finding fulfillment outside of work can change everything.Body comparison, genetics, and why not everything is meant to come easily or naturally to everyone.The truth behind our friendship and why working together skews what people see.Comparing kids, milestones, achievements, and even siblings within the same family.LINKS AND RESOURCES:HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://amzlink.to/az0BrkLl5pX9u Let's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.
