Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ This episode, I've pulled together the best mental health advice from every guest I spoke to over the past year - academics, therapists, organisers, and people with lived experience. Each of them shared a personal habit or practice that genuinely helps them cope or keep on top of their wellbeing, and I add a couple of my own strategies too. Whether you're navigating hoarding, supporting someone who is, or just looking for affordable ways to protect your own mental health, stick around for a mix of practical, honest tips to try for yourself. Special Episode Format: Compilation of Guest Advice Throughout the year, every guest was asked about habits or practices supporting their mental health. Guest Contributions: Mental Health Habits and Practices Harriet Impey (Episode 172) Mindfulness and meditation, especially mindful self-compassion (inspired by Kristin Neff). Practical examples: Being present, guided meditation, practicing non-attachment, and self-reflection on letting go of unhelpful arguments. Dr Jan Eppingstall (Episodes 174 & 204) Practicing gratitude to counterbalance negativity bias. Unsubscribing from unwanted emails to reduce anxiety and overwhelm. Interacting with pets for grounding and emotional well-being - petting animals as a stress reliever. Visiting places where animals are accessible (e.g., city farms, pet shops, animal cafes). Jasmine Sleigh (Episode 175) Importance of good sleep for mental health. Value of pleasurable activities like reading, and the paradox of sometimes resisting enjoyable activities (self-sabotage). Reflection on how engaging in enjoyable pastimes is essential even when it's difficult to get started. Sam (Episode 178) Writing things down: Keeping lists of achievements and things to be grateful for, even small joys. Acknowledging how gratitude doesn't have to be grand - simple moments count. Exercise, particularly running, or any activity that gets you outside of your current headspace (could be walking, volunteering, etc.). The role of support from others to prompt new perspectives or activities. Dr. Victoria Ruby-Granger (Episode 179) Self-awareness and accepting what works for you, rather than trying to fit yourself to methods that don't suit. Emphasis on letting go of approaches that don't align with your own needs, and being open to alternative strategies. Carrie Lagerstedt (Episode 183) Moral neutrality: Separating self-worth from issues like executive dysfunction, lateness, and messiness. Reframing these traits as value-neutral rather than personal failings, helping to build self-esteem. That Hoarder Creative self-expression: Resentful journaling, collage, and visual arts—done primarily for personal expression, not for others' approval. Permission for creative works to be imperfect and focused on process over outcome. Nature connection: Getting outside, paying attention to natural details (flowers, leaves, colours, wildlife), and practicing mindful observation to foster grounding and perspective. Importance of self-compassion, giving oneself credit for small achievements (especially with meditation or walks). Allowing yourself pleasurable, nurturing, or healing activities without guilt. Noticing the bigger world and natural cycles as a counter to internal struggles. Encouragement for listeners to reflect on which practices resonate and to share their own tips.

Clarity doesn't come from cramming more into your calendar; it comes from reflection, structure, and the courage to trust your leadership intuition. We open up about three lessons that reshaped how we coach, lead, and build: embracing a blended coaching-consulting style, designing structure that expands capacity, and elevating intellectual property into true authority assets. These shifts turned an overloaded schedule into a focused operating system and reframed “scale at all costs” into “build with intention.”First, we dig into leadership identity and how it evolves when you move from formal titles to influence, impact, and results. You'll hear how reading the moment—offering space and questions when needed, or providing frameworks and direction when it matters—creates better outcomes for high performers. This is the practical art of discernment: serving clients and teams with the right approach at the right time, and trusting your intuition to guide the switch.Next, we tackle a common myth: time isn't the problem, structure is. We walk through specific practices that reduce overwhelm, from externalizing tasks and estimating realistically to protecting deep-work blocks and asking for real timelines before committing. You'll learn how structure supports energy, sharpens decisions, and prevents reactive mode, even during demanding weeks. The result is capacity you can feel and results you can measure.Finally, we reframe assets like courses, frameworks, and templates as strategic tools that strengthen authority and client experience. Instead of chasing scale for every asset, we show how codifying what already works accelerates onboarding, reinforces workshops, and creates consistency across engagements. You'll leave with prompts to identify your own underused IP and a path to leverage it with confidence.If this conversation sparks momentum, subscribe, share with a peer who leads, and leave a quick review so more high performers can find the show.

Today we're sharing an episode from our friends at Reframing Rural, an award-winning documentary podcast telling honest, place-rooted stories of rural people and communities. Their new season, "Succession Stories," offers an intimate look at the family farm and ranch succession process - something rarely talked about openly, yet central to the future of working lands. Before we roll the episode, we sit down for a short conversation with the show's creator, Megan Torgerson, to hear what she's learning from families across Montana.

In this episode, the speaker reveals why most entrepreneurs lose the game long before strategy even matters, arguing that business—like athletics—is ultimately won in the mind. Through stories, frameworks, and hard-earned lessons, he breaks down the mental game of reframing failure, building unseen skills in the dark, visualizing success, and strengthening self-image so that pressure doesn't crush you but elevates you. It's a powerful reminder that setbacks are inevitable, but so is success—if you train your mind to rise when it counts. "If you're currently in fear or you're currently beating yourself up, how can you flip the script? And it's not about positive thinking, but it's just about neutralizing your thinking, neutralizing the emotions, shifting your own kind of belief and reframing how you think" Key takeaways: Failure is inevitable—but so is success: How you mentally reframe setbacks determines whether you move forward or stay stuck in self-doubt. Reframing is the first pillar of the mental game: Tony Robbins' State → Story → Strategy framework helps neutralize emotions and shift beliefs when pressure hits. Skill-building in the dark is what makes you great: Confidence comes from practicing when no one is watching—developing speaking, selling, leadership, and fulfillment skills. Chasing new tactics is a distraction from real mastery: Funnels, ads, and tools don't matter unless you've built the underlying skills that actually make them work. Visualization is a powerful training tool: Mentally rehearsing "money-making moves" (calls, webinars, sales, delegation) primes your subconscious for better performance. Your self-image sets your ceiling: You act and perform based on what you believe about yourself—so upgrading your inner identity is non-negotiable.

In this week's solo episode, I'm diving into something many of us feel, but don't always say out loud holiday money anxiety. This season can be full of joy, nostalgia, and family connection, but it can also bring up guilt, pressure, overspending, and emotional triggers that hit our wallets hard. So today, I'm sharing honest reflections on the expectations we carry, the emotional weight of holiday giving, and how I personally navigate the overwhelm of gifting, family obligations, and wanting to "do enough" without draining my finances or my energy. I walk you through practical strategies for shifting your mindset, breaking old patterns, and giving yourself permission to rethink how you show up this season. In this episode, I discuss: Guilt-free gifting: How to focus on intention instead of price tags, and ways to simplify gifts especially for kids who may value the moment more than the item itself. Setting family & personal boundaries: What to say when you want to keep things simple, stick to a budget, or opt out without shame. Overspending triggers: Why boredom, stress, nostalgia, and scarcity mindset push us to buy more and how to create friction to avoid impulse purchases. Reframing the season: How to shift from "stuff" to connection, small rituals, meaning, and presence. Planning ahead for next year: Using what you spent this season to set realistic expectations and savings goals for the future.

(Aloka Earth Room) Short Reflection & Guided Meditation including 'Invocation of Beings of the Three Times' based on Joanna Macy's text | Earthworm Practice for the Anthropocene III | Online Wednesday-Morning
Drew and Michael challenge the traditional view of sales as pushy or manipulative. They explore how sales can instead be an act of service, helping others find solutions that genuinely meet their needs. The discussion centers on shifting the mindset from “closing deals” to “opening opportunities,” where empathy, understanding, and authentic connection replace pressure and persuasion. The Connection Between Sales and Leadership Around the ten-minute mark, the conversation moves into the relationship between sales skills and effective leadership. While selling and leading are not the same, the two share essential traits: communication, empathy, and influence. Drew and Michael highlight how great leaders naturally “sell” their vision, inspiring buy-in, creating alignment, and motivating their teams to move forward with purpose. They emphasize that leadership without empathy or clarity often fails to connect, just as sales without listening fails to serve. Drew's Personal Story: When Sales Skills Became Life Skills At the fourteen-minute mark, Drew shares a powerful personal story involving a traumatic experience with his infant son. He explains how the very skills he developed in sales, such as listening, empathy, and communication, helped him support his wife and family through an emotionally difficult period. His story illustrates how professional abilities can translate into human connection and resilience, showing that the best “salespeople” are those who know how to serve others deeply and compassionately. Recap and Next Steps As the conversation wraps up, Michael thanks Drew for his openness and insight. Together, they reflect on how reframing sales as service brings humanity back into business and into leadership.

(Aloka Earth Room) Short Reflection & Guided Meditation including 'Invocation of Beings of the Three Times' based on Joanna Macy's text | Earthworm Practice for the Anthropocene III | Online Wednesday-Morning
In this conversation of Inspire Change, Gunter Swoboda delves into the profound question of human nature and the concept of equality, challenging the traditional narratives surrounding masculinity. He explores the anthropological evidence that suggests humans are not inherently competitive or hierarchical but are capable of living as equals. Swoboda emphasizes the importance of reframing masculinity from a perspective of dominance to one of equality, particularly in relationships and therapy. He encourages men to confront their fears of equality and to embrace a more authentic way of being that fosters genuine connections with others. Takeaways - Humans have a deep capacity for egalitarian relating. The narrative of masculinity often promotes competition and dominance. Therapy should be a collaborative space of equality. Men are often conditioned to see vulnerability as weakness. Reframing masculinity involves recognizing the capacity for equality. Equality is not just a concept but a lived experience. The journey to equality requires confronting internalized fears. Men can grow into deeper parts of their nature. Being a good man is about being fully human together. The work of men's development is about realigning with egalitarian values. Sound Bites - "What kind of animal are we actually?" "We're trained to compete." "Being a good man is not about being on top." Mid-Episode Break is brought to you by Distil Union.“You know, on this show we talk a lot about living with purpose — slowing down, paying attention, and being intentional about the choices we make every day. Because when we simplify the noise around us, we can better hear what really matters: empathy, connection, and showing up as the best version of ourselves. That's why I'm genuinely pleased to welcome our newest sponsor, Distil Union. Their philosophy aligns beautifully with what we do here.” “Distil Union creates sleek, thoughtfully designed essentials — wallets, key organizers, phone cases — all built with a ‘less is more' approach. Their Wally wallets, Ferris key organizers… these are everyday tools that make life easier, cleaner, and calmer. And in that simplicity, there's space for clarity.

How the mind blinds us to reality by showing us what we want to believe. We don't see with our eyes; we see with our stories. In 1951, psychologists proved that fans from opposing teams physically saw different fouls during the same game. This is the power and danger of perception. It is the tension between what is real and what we believe is possible. When a doctor gives a patient a placebo, the patient heals not because of medicine, but because of the story of the medicine. In this episode, we explore the cognitive biases that shape our culture and our work. From the "Baader-Meinhof" phenomenon to the tragedy of Napoleon's retreat, we examine how our perceptions limit our possibilities. Actionable Takeaways: Change the narrative: Use the Placebo Effect to create positive outcomes through the power of expectation. See the system: Recognize how the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon highlights opportunities you previously ignored. Reframing value: Use the Contrast Effect to understand how relative comparison dictates the worth of your work. Go make a ruckus by changing how you choose to see the world around you. SPONSORS
In this inspiring episode, Heather chats with Susie, a pet photographer and Elevate student, about her recent experience at CatFest, where she faced disappointing results—but didn't let that stop her momentum. Learn how Susie reframed a perceived "failure," found power in persistence, and embraced the long game of business building with resilience and optimism. Key Takeaways: A slow sales day doesn't define your worth or future success. Reframing setbacks helps you stay emotionally grounded and focused. Building a business is a long game—progress counts, even in small steps. Confidence grows when you take action despite rejection. Marketing is never "one and done"—keep showing up and experimenting.

Congrats to Andrea!! Andrea works with high-achieving leaders navigating challenging relationships, identity shifts, and life transitions — especially the roles we often inherit inside our families. In this deeply moving conversation, she and Yo explore the complicated terrain between daughters and aging mothers, including grief, identity, boundaries, and the “good daughter” narrative many of us have carried for decades. If you've ever felt unseen, responsible, guilty, or stuck in old roles with your mother — especially during moments of caregiving or family gatherings — this episode offers both companionship and real tools for the messy middle. Timing for this episode is perfect with the holidays which adds extra pressure around the good daughter/bad daughter trap! Together, they explore:

In this week's More Yourself episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate explores one of the biggest and most powerful shifts that happens after a late ADHD diagnosis: learning to trust yourself again.This clip from the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Summer series workshop, Boosting your Self-Belief and Self-Trust after a late-in-life ADHD Diagnosis, is all about rebuilding self-belief, understanding your inner dialogue, and shifting the unhelpful stories we've been telling ourselves, often our whole lives.Many women diagnosed later in life carry years of internalised shame, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and chronic self-doubt. In this episode, we explore how to recognise and rewire limiting beliefs that have become your reality for so long, but may not actually be true. This conversation will help you embrace life with self-compassion, clarity, and trust in who you are, what you believe, and how you want to navigate your life.Key Takeaways:Learning how to recognise, rewire, release, and rebuild beliefs to develop stronger self-trust after an ADHD diagnosisHow what we believe often shapes how we see ourselves and our realityUnderstanding how internal criticism and old thought patterns influence our choices, confidence, and emotional wellbeingThe power of self-trust and how to reconnect with your inner voice, which knows who you truly areUsing affirmations and mantras to gently shift how you speak to yourself, moving from self-doubt to self-supportUnderstanding how you want to show up, speak to yourself, and regulate your emotions with compassion and clarityWhy self-acceptance starts with awareness to make space for growthHow to reframe limiting beliefs to move towards healing and self-confidenceTimestamps:04:47: Understanding Beliefs and Self-Trust07:40: Understanding Our Beliefs and Their Impact11:06: Trusting Your Inner Voice16:53: Embracing Self-TrustIf you enjoyed this clip, we'd love you to join us for our next live workshop on 16th December.

In this episode of the Create! Podcast, Kat sits down with painter and creative mentor Felicia Forte for a deep and refreshing conversation on creative flow, intuition, burnout, and finding your true pace as an artist. Felicia shares how she moved through a major creative block, rebuilt her relationship with painting, and allowed a slower, more intuitive rhythm to guide her back to the work. She speaks openly about dropping the hustle, choosing resonance over pressure, and trusting the quiet seasons where ideas grow underground. This conversation is full of warmth, honesty, and wisdom for anyone navigating their own creative path. In this episode, we explore How Felicia rebuilt her painting practice after burnout The difference between hustle driven output and intuitive flow Using intuition, resonance, and curiosity as your compass Why creative blocks often have internal roots The power of slowing down and listening to yourself Reframing mistakes as discovery Balancing ambition with compassion for your present season Allowing a body of work to unfold without forcing it Supporting artists through creative coaching and technique programs Connect with Felicia Website: https://www.feliciaforte.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/feliciaforte Connect with Create!

Jon Rosemberg is the author of the new book, A Guide to Thriving. He was a successful leader in Corporate America and made a pivot to executive coaching. This conversation with Jon was truly insightful, reminding us that workplace culture and retention aren't just HR buzzwords, but are fundamentally linked to our ability to shift from surviving to thriving. My takeaways were: Prioritize Employee Agency to Foster a Thriving Workplace Culture: The shift from "survival mode" to thriving starts when individuals courageously reclaim their agency—the capacity to make intentional choices based on the belief that those choices matter and have an impact. In a workplace culture context, leaders must create an environment where employees feel their decisions are valued and that they have control over their work and well-being. This sense of agency is key to reducing burnout and fostering a motivated, engaged team, directly improving retention. Move Beyond Resilience to Cultivate Sustainable Health and Retention: While resilience is valuable, it's a "low bar"; it focuses on bouncing back from adversity without addressing the underlying causes of stress. A thriving workplace culture must focus on reducing "demands" and increasing "resources." For retention, this means leaders must actively help employees set boundaries and provide the necessary resources—like time for mental health practices (movement, rest, social connection)—so they don't constantly operate in an exhaustive, reactive "survival mode." Small, Incremental Practices are the Engine of Long-Term Transformation: The move from survival to thriving is not a sudden life-breakthrough, but a disciplined practice of small, incremental changes. Utilizing the AIR method (Awareness, Inquiry, Reframing) to challenge limiting beliefs and reframe situations allows individuals to gain context and move forward. In terms of workplace culture and retention, this translates to establishing sustainable, supported daily practices—not just one-off wellness programs—that compound over time, making it easier for employees to manage stress and stay engaged long-term. The biggest lesson is that the most powerful kind of thriving is when we help other people thrive, which should be the ultimate goal for any organization looking to build a successful workplace culture that supports retention.

This Moon brings us some much needed air. After the deep searching on the emotional, psychological, and soul levels, with Mercury in Scorpio, it is now time to shine some light into the areas of our lives that no longer fit. In other words, this Moon offers us a powerful opportunity to remove and release those situations, which may include people who are not really supportive of who you are, or who you are becoming. This is important! With this full moon, it is about balancing the oppositional forces in our lives. In the sign of Gemini, there's always two things vying for our attention. Using this full moon energy, helps to focus our direction, gain clarity and encourages us to use our intuitive insights to understand what is really beneficial and truthful, in our daily experiences.Where in your astrology map are you of two minds about something? Have you been running around asking, researching, looking and questioning, which has resulted in overload? Here are the “astro coordinates” in your “Star Map”. This full moon is positioned at 13 degrees 32 minutes, December 4/5th.Find the house(s) and check out where you have Gemini on the cusp. This house is where you can release internal dialogue, habitual self-talk and mental chatter that needs to be left in the past. This Gemini Moon is helpful in lightening up things. But it's also helping us to see how our mental constructs, beliefs and habits can be the prison bars that keep life from moving forward. This is the Full Moon for releasing the excess information. As we head into 2026, and into the depths of the planetary vibration of the 1 year number, building something real, bringing quality understanding is key. Mercury the guiding/ruling planet will soon move into Sagittarius, December 11th.With this crosscurrent between Moon in Gemini, and Sun in Sagittarius, this planetary pair needs to find a balance between the search for more information as in the Gemini way, and the Sagittarius who wants to release the ideas, thoughts and experiences toward expanding one's vision and direction. In other words, Gemini is famous for wanting to learn about everything at the same time, while Sagittarius seeks a focused direction and expansion through adventure.Gemini and Sagittarius are the teachers of the zodiac. What are your intentions for speaking your desires and dreams into being for 2026? Truth and Illumination are the Keys. Let's have an Astrology Conversation. I look forward to seeing you. Now is the time.https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/light-reading.htmlhttps://www.soulsoundinsights.com/music-musings-meditation.htmlI am proud to announce my new offering as a Certified Creative Depth Coach.

“What if I stop judging myself and let the pieces fall so something better can be built.” Topics Discussed • The messy middle of TTC and IVF recovery • Emotional healing during fertility burnout • Subconscious patterns and self judgment • Frequency shifts and embodied surrender • Radical honesty with yourself during the journey • Letting go of control and rebuilding from a grounded place “You cannot light switch your body. You cannot snap your fingers and erase decades of patterns.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… This episode takes you straight into the heart of the messy middle, that uncomfortable space between who you were and who you are becoming. If you feel like life is a wobbly tower of blocks and you are using every toe, finger, and nose hair to hold it together, you are not alone. This is the moment where surrender feels impossible and control feels safer, yet your body is quietly asking for stillness, honesty, and trust. We explore the deep emotional patterns that rise when everything starts to fall apart, the subconscious urge to fix what is not fixable, and the beauty that comes from letting yourself “do nothing” for a moment. Yes, I even talk about my husband sleeping his way to genius and how your soul babies probably wish you would slow down long enough to hear yourself think. This conversation invites you to soften. To witness the chaos without judgment. To release the frantic Googling and the need for the next perfect plan. And to remember that the void is not punishment. It is power. The version of you on the other side of this episode is clearer, calmer, and more aligned. Press play and feel the shift begin. “Judgment only comes from the mind. No one is judging you but you.” Timestamps 00:00 Opening insight on intuition and fertility 01:28 The truth about the messy middle of TTC 04:40 Why letting go of control changes your emotional frequency 07:29 The radical honesty required for real transformation 10:25 How doing nothing can create the biggest breakthroughs 12:47 Reframing setbacks, miscarriages, and slow progress 14:46 Understanding judgment, frequency, and emotional alignment “Sometimes the greatest healing comes from sitting in the void and doing absolutely nothing.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/when-your-infertility-ivf-journey-feels-like-it-is-falling-apart-even-when-you-re-doing-everything-right Let's Do This Together
Roll On returns! Just in time for the holiday gauntlet. Adam Skolnick and I unpack three questions the season demands: how to navigate family gatherings when the same dynamics play out like clockwork, what rock bottom actually means (hint: it's a launchpad for transformation, not a life sentence), and why I've traded rigid goals for something more like trajectory. We get into the superpower of extreme neutrality, why everyone is right from their perspective, and morning pages as the unlock you didn't know you needed. We also celebrate Adam's debut novel “American Tiger”—finally out in the world! Last but not least, we crown our favorite films of 2025. Enjoy!

In this Clinician's Corner episode, Clarissa and Molly dive into what they lovingly (and accurately) call the "Hella-Days"—that stretch from early fall through New Year's where routines disappear, food is everywhere, emotions are high, and nervous systems are fried. Together, they unpack why this season is so activating for people with food addiction and nervous system sensitivity, and how to navigate it with values, boundaries, and a whole lot of self-compassion—whether you're surrounded by family or spending the holidays on your own. In This Episode Clarissa & Molly explore: Why the holidays can feel like the "Holiday Hunger Games" and "12 Days of Dysregulation" How the nervous system responds to the build-up from September to New Year's Using values as your North Star for holiday decisions Boundary tools and scripts for parties, family gatherings, and food pushers Why holiday food environments are an "engineered stressor" (hello, peppermint-everything marketing) Strategies for: Going to events without abandoning your recovery Deciding when not to go Coping with loneliness, isolation, and dark evenings Harm reduction during high-exposure events ("good, better, best" thinking) How to re-imagine your holiday story over time instead of chasing perfection Ideas for folks who love the holidays (Clarissmas) and folks who… don't (Molly
High-level persuasion isn't about getting to "yes" it's about making people feel safe enough to say "no." Chris Voss, former FBI lead international kidnapping negotiator and bestselling author of Never Split The Difference, explains why "no" creates control, why tone shapes neurochemistry, and why objections are really fear, not logic. In this episode of The Next Level Podcast with Jeremy Miner, Chris breaks down tactical empathy, tonality, framing, and the exact neuroscience behind trust, influence, and decision-making. You'll learn how top negotiators de-escalate resistance, shorten deal cycles, and move people without pushing. If you want to master communication, prevent objections before they appear, and negotiate like the top 1% of persuaders, this episode gives you the playbook.

(Aloka Earth Room) Short Reflection & Guided Meditation | Earthworm Practice for the Anthropocene III | Online Wednesday-Morning
After nearly 400 conversations with Olympians, Paralympians, and trailblazing women athletes from 55 countries, one thing is clear: no two stories are alike. Some athletes train with world-class facilities, others without basic equipment. Some are household names, others are fighting for visibility in sports you've never even seen on TV. And yet, across all these differences, certain themes echo again and again.That's what this new Best Of series is all about: spotlighting both the range of experiences and the threads that connect them. We've pulled together the most powerful moments across years of conversations, including:✨ Best Advice to Younger Selves — from “give yourself grace to be a beginner” to “don't dim your light for anyone.” ✨ Best Stories of Resilience — tales of athletes coming back from devastating injuries, near-misses, and moments when the world doubted them most. ✨ Best Moments of Role Modelship — athletes lifting the next generation, mentoring teammates, and carrying entire communities with them to the world stage. ✨ Best Stories of Identity & Joy — how athletes embrace who they are on and off the field, from glitter on the track to pride in their heritage.…and many more!You'll hear voices as different as the sports they represent, yet together, they reveal what it really takes to rise to the top. This isn't just one story. It's hundreds woven together. And this is just the beginning.In this episode, Reframing the Impossible, Kimberley Alkemade (Netherlands, para athletics) shares a profound moment of connection with her late mother after winning gold in the same country where she lost her leg. Dana Mathewson (USA, wheelchair tennis) opens up about the deep self-consciousness she faced after acquiring a disability as a child and how sport became her path to freedom and self-acceptance. Ashley Dyce (USA, para powerlifting) recounts the moment she discovered the Paralympics on TV and decided to change her life, eventually choosing powerlifting over track to pursue strength. Angelina Lanza (France, para athletics) advocates for equal visibility, pay, and the freedom for female athletes to wear what makes them feel confident and perform their best. Mansi Joshi (India, para badminton) challenges media narratives, urging for coverage that focuses on athletic achievement rather than disability and inspiration porn.Together, these athletes redefine what is possible, moving beyond limitations and societal expectations to claim their space as fierce competitors and powerful advocates.Flame Bearers is a women's sports storytelling studio, illuminating the unsung stories of exceptional women athletes from around the world.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)When the words “narcissist” or “toxic” hit the table, the conversation often derails. We take a different path—away from labels and toward behavior—so clients can make safer, smarter decisions during divorce without stepping into clinical territory. Tracy lays out a clear, ethical approach that validates harm, respects mental health needs, and keeps our work aligned with the dispute resolution standards that serve families best.We explore the two truths that often coexist: some clients endure harmful, destabilizing behavior, and some are facing a spouse with legitimate mental health needs deserving compassion and dignity. Instead of reducing people to diagnoses, we examine what actually shows up in the process: escalation patterns, emotional regulation, reliability, responsiveness, and communication capacity. Through practical prompts—What does the behavior look like? When does it escalate? How does it affect your choices?—we convert emotional chaos into strategic clarity, boundaries, and safety plans.We also tackle mediation viability as a functional, not clinical, question. Mediation requires predictability, transparency, and the willingness to repair communication ruptures; when those behaviors are absent, progress stalls regardless of labels. You'll hear how to reframe inflammatory language, design behavior-based participation plans, and maintain professional boundaries that build trust across the ADR ecosystem. The result is a pragmatic, compassionate model that protects clients, preserves dignity on both sides, and elevates our field through clear roles and standards.If the goal is durable agreements and healthier co-parenting, behavior must lead.

The Christmas Tree Lot, the Steak, and Why the Hard Part Is What Makes It Worth It In this episode, Doc Danny Matta shares a story about a Christmas tree lot in Columbus, Georgia, the best steak he's ever eaten, and how hard work—and the struggle that comes with it—makes success and reward deeply meaningful. He connects that experience to clinic ownership, growth, and why building a successful cash practice is supposed to be hard. Quick Ask If this episode helps you reframe the hard parts of business, share it with another clinician who's grinding through a tough season—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it.

Clair AI scribe: Clair has been trained specifically for PTs to write high-quality notes, like a meticulous student in the corner capturing everything. Time freedom: Using Clair allows clinicians to reclaim hours of documentation time and spend it with family, hobbies, or simply resting. Danny's background: Staff PT, active duty military PT, cash practice founder, seller, and founder of PT Biz, helping 1,000+ clinicians build cash practices. The Christmas tree lot job: As a teenager in Columbus, GA, Danny and his brother took a sketchy, hard manual-labor job at a Christmas tree lot near Fort Benning. Uncertain payoff: The owner warned them they'd only get paid if they worked hard—and not until the end of the season. Hard work in the cold: Long days hauling trees, sawing, tying them to cars, all while smelling Texas Roadhouse across the street they couldn't yet afford. Finally getting paid: On the last day, the owner pulled out a wad of cash, paid them what he owed, and even gave them a bonus for working hard. The greatest steak ever: They walked across the street to Texas Roadhouse, ordered the most expensive steak, and it remains the best steak Danny's ever had—because of what it represented. Meaning through struggle: The steak wasn't special because of the restaurant; it was special because of the work it took to earn it. Business parallel: The hard parts of clinic ownership—slow growth, cash stress, buildouts, staffing—are what make the wins meaningful. Normalizing struggle: Building a successful clinic that changes your life and your family's life should not be easy. Celebrate wins: Most entrepreneurs power past achievements without celebrating; Danny argues you need to mark the "steak moments." Reframing frustration: Instead of "Why is this so hard?" shift to "It's supposed to be hard—and that's why it will feel incredible when it works." Lessons & Takeaways Hard work makes reward meaningful: Wins feel better when they're earned through discomfort, sacrifice, and persistence. You need contrast: Without the "shitty stuff," victories don't stand out—you need struggle to appreciate success. Business is not meant to be easy: A clinic that creates time and financial freedom will demand hard things from you. Struggle is not a sign you're failing: It's a sign you're doing something significant and transformative. School and business are similar: Graduation and growth feel good precisely because the journey is challenging. Positive reinforcement matters: Celebrating wins keeps you moving through the next tough stretch. Mindset & Motivation Embrace the hard: Instead of resenting the grind, accept that it's the price of a different life. You're not broken: Being tired, stretched, and challenged doesn't mean you picked the wrong path. Remember what's at stake: A successful clinic can change your family's finances, your time, and your identity. Reframe the question: Move from "Why is this so hard?" to "Who am I becoming because I'm doing hard things?" Use the steak moment: Have a tangible reward in mind—your version of Texas Roadhouse—to look forward to after big milestones. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Automate documentation: Use Clair to remove hours of note writing and free up time for life outside the clinic. Define your "steak": Choose a specific reward (trip, dinner, purchase) you'll give yourself after a big business milestone. Track your wins: Keep a running list of milestones reached so you can look back and see your progress. Expect friction: When something feels hard, remind yourself: "This is exactly what I signed up for." Build celebration into your plan: Schedule a pause to celebrate when you hit revenue, hire, or space goals. Notable Quotes "If you don't have the shitty stuff, then it doesn't feel very good whenever you get the good stuff." "Why would something that changes your life be easy?" "Anything meaningful—like a successful clinic—should be hard." "If you can just reframe from 'Why is this hard?' to 'This is supposed to be hard,' it changes everything." "The hard part is what makes the win feel like the greatest steak you've ever had." Action Items Identify one current "hard thing" in your business and consciously reframe it as part of what makes your future success meaningful. Pick a specific reward you'll give yourself when you hit your next major milestone. Write down three big wins you've already earned and how hard you worked for them. Consider trying Clair for a 7-day free trial to reclaim documentation time. Share this story with a spouse, partner, or friend so they understand why you're pushing through the hard season.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with certified mental performance coach and strength and conditioning coach Jacqueline Kelly to unpack what it really means to be unfragile in real life. Not unbreakable, not perfect. Unfragile. Jacqueline shares how the concept started with her adopted son from Haiti, grew into a family ritual, and evolved into a mindset framework for athletes and everyday high performers. They dig into why toughness often turns into a mask, how pressure can either level you up or shut you down, and why breathing and awareness are not fluffy wellness hacks but performance infrastructure. If you are tired of generic “be resilient” advice and want practical tools to handle pressure, loss, injury, and self doubt without collapsing, this conversation gives you grounded, usable mental skills for sport, business, and life. About the Guest: Jacqueline Kelly is a certified mental performance coach and strength and conditioning coach who works with athletes from high school hopefuls to elite competitors. Through her Unfragile framework, she helps people build real world resilience, emotional awareness, and performance habits that translate under pressure. Her work blends mindset skills, nervous system regulation, and practical preparation so athletes and non athletes can keep moving forward even when life gets messy. Key Takeaways: Unfragile is not about being untouchable. It is about being human, feeling deeply, and still taking the next step. The idea of Unfragile started as a mantra between Jacqueline and her adopted son from Haiti. A way to honor his early survival and ongoing courage through sport and family challenges. Toughness can become a mask. Real mental strength means knowing when to drop the mask, ask for help, and lean on tools like journaling, meditation, and honest conversation. “Be the tennis ball, not the egg.” A tennis ball gets hit and bounces back. An egg looks tough then shatters. The goal is flexibility, not armor. Pressure breaks people when it is experienced as something external and uncontrollable. Reframing it as raising expectations of yourself brings the focus back to what you can control. Core levers of becoming unfragile. awareness, radical self responsibility, preparation, consistent effort, and an open attitude that does not shut down when things get hard. Diaphragmatic breathing that activates the vagus nerve helps shift from fight or flight into rest and digest, so you can think clearly in real time instead of spiraling. Bringing your attention back to “where your feet are” keeps you out of regret and anxiety and anchors you in the present play, meeting, or moment.

In this episode, we sit down with Tinsley Galyean—co-founder of Curious Learning and author of the forthcoming book REFRAME: How Curiosity & Literacy Can Redefine Us—to challenge everything we think we know about technology, kids, and learning. As debates rage over screen time, AI, and the impact of digital tools on child development, Galyean offers a powerful counter-narrative: what if technology, used intentionally, could become one of the most transformative forces in global childhood literacy? Drawing on fieldwork across Ethiopia, India, Bangladesh, South Africa, and beyond, Tinsley reveals how low-cost smartphones and child-driven learning apps are helping children learn to read in their mother tongue—even in communities with no formal schooling. We explore why curiosity is the secret engine of learning, how tech can support (not replace) human connection, and why it's time to reexamine the role technology can and should play in childhood literacy. If you're an educator, parent, or leader searching for evidence-based insights on technology and kids, digital learning, or the future of literacy, this conversation will expand your thinking and push you to reframe what's possible.

Welcome to a transformative solo episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan invites listeners to reframe how they view uncertainty, chaos, and change in the agency world. Drawing from both scientific research and personal stories—including a gripping childhood encounter with real fear—Drew McLellan explores why agencies feel paralyzed by unpredictability, and more importantly, how leaders can move beyond fear to thrive in today's rapidly shifting landscape. Listeners will discover why uncertainty is baked into agency life, why our brains crave control, and why periods of upheaval—from economic turmoil and technological breakthroughs to social unrest—can actually be seen as fertile ground for growth and innovation. Drew McLellan champions the concept of a "perpetual renaissance," encouraging agency leaders to harness rather than resist continual change and to build their businesses on adaptability, creativity, and community. Throughout the episode, Drew McLellan underscores the power of belonging and reciprocal support, likening the AMI community to a network of redwoods—each agency strengthened by connection with others. He shares actionable advice on showing up as both a teacher and a student in industry salons, generously exchanging knowledge and resources so everyone thrives amid uncertainty. Insights from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and agency research come together with practical wisdom to reveal how leading through chaos isn't about control, but about learning to ride the storm—together. Don't miss this deeply encouraging and practical episode, especially if you're looking for ways to put fear aside and become the agency clients seek out for guidance and innovation. By embracing the value of community and the inevitability of change, you'll gain a new perspective on how to master—and even enjoy—the wild ride ahead. Join the conversation, connect with the AMI salon, and help shape the future of your agency in 2026 and beyond. A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.
